The Visit of our Dear Mother, Our Lady of Prince Edward Island, the Mother of Life on March 25, 2008

 
Dear friends,
 

I was called to go to the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island at 1:05 p.m. as the Blessed Virgin Mary was waiting for me. I went up and knelt in the front of the altar and there She was with the Child Jesus in Her arms. She was dressed as usual with a long white dress with a blue veil on Her head. Jesus was dressed as He is seen in the picture painted by Amanda Richard.

 

Our Lady said, Melvin, My son, I love you and bless you. I am here again in this beautiful little shrine built in My honour. Do not be afraid or worried, Melvin. Be at peace and may Jesus, My Son, fill you with His love and joy. I lay My hand on your head and pray for healing, both spiritually and physically. Little Jesus also places His two hands on your head for a special blessing. Please hold the Child Jesus in your arms, as He loves you very much. (I held Him in my arms for a few minutes and gave Him back to His Mother.)

 

My great desire as you know is for you to build as soon as possible My great shrine here. I want the shrine on Palmer Road just in the back of the prayer room. This is the spot I have chosen in Prince Edward Island, an island blessed by My Son Jesus and also blessed by Me. This is the only place in North America where abortions are illegal. I am the Mother of Life and I want all unborn children to be born in this world. It is the right of these children in the womb of their mothers to live on earth and come to know Jesus, My Son, as their Saviour and to follow Him so that one day they will be in heaven with Us. My shrine will be a light to the world to defend the unborn and to teach the people about the sacredness of life from conception to natural death. They will call on all those who believe in Jesus to be pro-life.

 

I am working to bring about the construction of this important shrine. I call on the Church to give her permission for the building of this shrine on Palmer Road as soon as possible. I am your Mother who is asking you, the leaders of the Church, for your cooperation. I have also asked for an inn to be constructed near the shrine for those who will come to pray and to work at the shrine.

 

It is sad that very few women are entering the sisterhood today. Many of the congregations are dying for lack of candidates. I strongly advocate the foundation of the Contemplative Sisters of Jesus at My shrine and I assure you that many will come to join this congregation. My Son Jesus also wants, as soon as possible, the establishment of the Contemplative Brothers of Jesus and this too should be founded at My shrine. We need a new revival of the faith in the world and these are great means to bring this about. I pray for these societies constantly.

 

Before I leave you, Melvin, My son, I must call again for the conversion of all My sons and daughters that they may leave sin behind and come to follow Jesus, My Son. Return now before it is too late. Darkness is spreading throughout the world because of sin, and if this continues you will have much to suffer. Repent and enter the Church founded by Jesus and if you are faithful, Jesus and I will welcome you in heaven one day.

 

I bless you and may all of you be filled with Easter joy.

 

Father Melvin

 

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 25, 2008

 

I am the Resurrected Jesus

 

Reading: John 20:19-23

 

Dear friends,

 

Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples, I have seen the Lord. John 20:18

 

We will have Eucharistic Adoration at our church today at 5:00 p.m. for one hour. I will celebrate Holy Mass at 7:00 this evening so our visitor, David Little, can attend.


I am getting ready to go to the Trappist Monastery in Rogersville, New Brunswick. I will give a retreat in French at the monastery itself starting Friday evening and ending Sunday at noon.


Today is the traditional day to celebrate the Annunciation but as it is during the Octave of Easter, the celebration of this great feast is transferred to March 31 this year.

 

I was in prayer early this morning with Jesus, Our Lord and God, and He said, Melvin, My brother and friend, I love you and bless you. I love all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. I fill your hearts with joy during this Easter season as heaven and earth celebrate My Resurrection. The Church has extended the celebration of the Feast of Easter for eight days and this period is called the Octave of Easter. After reliving My Passion and death on the cross, you need to rejoice with Me now that I am raised from the dead.

 

The Resurrection is a great event in the life of every Christian. Your faith is founded on the Resurrection, which I predicted three times before it happened. The Apostles could not grasp it, as the Resurrection did not mean anything to them. They had never seen a person come back from the dead. After I came back from the dead, I appeared to the Apostles for forty days in order to revive their faith and to teach them all they needed to know.

 

All you who believe in Me, I have given you all a special gift at Easter. I filled you with My joy. This joy is expressed in the word alleluia. The more you say this word, the greater joy you will have in your heart. My Resurrection brought Me very close to each one of you. I no longer live in one place in Israel but now I am present everywhere in every city or village in the world where there are people who believe in Me. I also live in your heart if you follow Me and cooperate with My grace. I wish to remain forever in your heart so that we have a close and personal bond of love. Spend time in prayer with Me. I am the Resurrected Jesus who is your great friend. I love you.

 

Father Melvin

Message to Louise March 26,2008


HYPERCRITICAL
MESSAGE via L., V+J
March 26, 2008- - -10:30 A.M.

L. began to receive a message from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with
Your Most Precious Blood." (and other various and numerous prayers of testing)

Then Almighty God spoke, " To all My children: Take a good look around you,
imbed it in your memory for the face of the earth is about to change forever.
Nothing that I created pure and clear remains! All has been completely
destroyed by man (humans).

My punishment will come rapidly until all filth, all sin is completely
removed- -forever. Oh, how My people suffer, all creatures too! People will
die by the millions- -both My followers and all devil followers.

Do as I tell you and save your immortal soul. You've made your bed- -lie in
it! Your eternal choice, your eternal life is Heaven with Me OR Hell with
satan!

While you still have breath within you give up hate, pride, anger, and
choose love NOW! Only true heart-felt love can save you and your world from the
bonds of evil!

Yes, children, today much WILL change permanently! By the forthcoming,
mandatory, insert of the 'CHIP' you WILL be possessed- -your complete mind, all
your thoughts AND your actions. You will instantly be a 'zombie' of satan's.

You will march freely to torture and death chambers! Today IS the turning
point! Hell WILL fill rapidly with satan followers, worshippers.

For thousands and thousands of years I have warned you. You refused to
listen and to obey. NOW suffer for your foolish choices, suffer the
consequences- -eternally! AMEN!!!"

Today ALWAYS means in His Timing. (not ours)

 

Teaching from the Lord through "The Girl of my Will in Jesus" - 2003-06-28


Gathering of Love with God's Action in Saint Liguori, Quebec, Canada
Through his Instrument, the Girl of My Will in Jesus


2003-06-28



Jesus: I am with each one of you, God's presence is within you.

Do not doubt me, do not doubt yourselves.

You and I, we are together and it is together, my children, that we will give
ourselves.

I gave myself to my Father for the sake of love, give yourselves to my Father in
me, for the sake of love.

You must learn that in order to give love it is necessary to be love, and to be
love it is necessary to die in Jesus.

To die in Jesus is not to renounce what you are, it is to discover who you are,
it is to discover the true worth of your life.

You are children of God, you are God's loved ones.

You must learn to love yourselves, to discover why you are the way you are,

why God loves you like this.

Oh! Children of love, I knew you before you did, before you committed sins, and
I continued loving you even knowing who you would become because of sin.

My love has not diminished, I love you just as much.

I want you to learn to love yourselves.

It is understood that I cannot ask you to love that side of you that has made
you suffer.

I am speaking to you, my children, of sin; I do not want you to love sin, I want
you to learn to discover yourselves through your weakness, I want you to learn
to accept yourselves with what you have become because of sin.

It is up to me to correct you, it is up to me to return to you the purity of
your being.

When you turn to me, to my priest, to confess your sins, you become, through
your yes, a child who is giving his consent to my transforming him.

It is I, the Divine Will, who will turn you into the children that my Father
wishes, not you.

I, I am waiting for your consent.

When you come to Confession to tell my priest that you regret an action, a
thought, a feeling: you become a child of the yes, you agree to become a child
who wants to be taken by God.

God will force no one to become what he does not want to become: a child who
wants to be transformed by my graces.

Even if you bore the original sin within you because of your first parents, when
you come into this world: you are love.

Through the sacrament of Baptism you enter into my family, God's family: the
family of love.

You are children of love.

But because of your human will, you are inclined to commit sins because within
you, there is evil, and evil is there due to your human will.

I, Jesus, I, The Love, want to take care of you from your birth and it is
through your parents that I want to take care of you. How shall this take place:
your protection?

Through prayer, through the gift your parents make from your birth.

Children of love, most of you are adults, most of you are parents: you must pray
for your children.

If your children are adults themselves, enter into the Divine Will and pray:
pray as if your children were newborns.

And you, the men who are here, and you, the women who are here and who have not
brought children into the world, pray in the Divine Will, pray: pray because you
carry parents within you, pray for the newborns, for I, the Divine Will, I do
not live only in your time for I am the Alpha and the Omega, there is no time
within me: pray for the children of The Love.

Children of love, you yourselves shall receive graces of love for within you,
you carry parents; they will pray for you, they will pray in the Divine Will
because you are in the Divine Will: everything within me is movement, pray for
the newborns.

Only God can bring about this movement of love for when you pray in the Divine
Will, it is not you who pray, it is I, Jesus.

I bring about this movement out of love for you.

I want to make you discover the true worth of your presence, here, in this
world, for your sake.

Listen to these words, they are for each one of you.

?Little one, a day of love is on its way just for you.

At this very moment, you are entering my world, you are with me, you are a child
of God.

Through the power of my love, you receive love; through God's power, you receive
my Father's blessing.

I have you within me, I carry you within me: you are love.

Enter more deeply within me, come, abandon yourself even more, come to where I
am: in God you are, you are in my presence.

You are love, you contain all purity within you: everything about you is God's
work.

My Father wants you for himself, he wants you to be his child of love for
eternity.

You were chosen by my Father, you are love. The Power is speaking to you, Power
covers you.

You are not yet part of this world, for you are in me, you are in the Divine
Will: discover God's power.

I am the Alpha and the Omega: you are part of my Being; I am the Life, Eternal
Life, and you are in my Life.

Do not doubt what I shall reveal to you: life.

You are, at this very moment, in the presence of your life, your life in me: the
Life.

I am Jesus, I am the Son of God.

I have the power to turn you into a perfect being because you are perfect, you
are in my image.

Even at the moment when you will be born into the world, you will always be with
me, I shall never leave you because you are made from me.

Your entire being shall be made from my Being, for before you come into this
world, I, the Son of God, I shall come into this world, and you shall be like
me: human. It is my Father's power that wishes me to speak to you within you, in
the deepest part of you, which is abandoned to me.

Do not hang onto your human will, do not leave me because of your thoughts, stay
with me, there, in the deepest part of yourself, savour this unique moment in
your life. You are in the presence of the Divine Will.

You were created from me.

Your body was created from my Father's creation, just like me, who came into
this world with a human Body.

I am the Perfection and you are perfection; I want you to never forget these
words.

All that you are, as a human, is made from what I, I am made of: Man-God.

Give God a chance to allow you to understand the very power of his power.

All that you are, is made from what I, I am, for before any human was created on
earth: I, I was.

When even before this was created: all of creation, my Father was in me and I, I
was in my Father.

I, I was Man-God before you, for in the Divine Will, I was.

You see, the human being could not have been created before the Son. The fall of
the angel was caused because he saw me and he refused to adore the Man-God.

At this very moment, you are learning that I was, above all, in everything that
my Father had created, for I am the beloved Son of the Father and you, you are
made of what I am, you were created in my likeness: you have so much power
within you! Discover the true worth of your human side.

Let the Divine Will take everything within you.

I was before you, and this is what I want you to be always, even after you come
into this world.

Right now, I am speaking to you according to what you are at this moment.?

Children of love, you have a treasure inside you!

You have within you God's presence in all his divinity and you also have within
you

the presence of God made man.

Abandon yourselves in Jesus, let the Blood of Jesus flow within you, let
yourselves be transformed by the graces of the power of the Divine Will.

Children of love, your body is made from God's power: abandon it to God.

.

All the flesh that you are made of: renounce it and God will take all of it and
turn it into what Jesus wants to give you: his Flesh.

Did you not just receive the Body and the Blood? Realize how much God gives
himself to you and give yourselves, give yourselves completely.

Develop this abandonment by uttering yeses while not analysing these yeses; be
like little babies.

It will be easier for you to understand God's action for when you try to
understand with what you have become throughout the years, this is more
difficult for you.

Act as a child who allows himself to be picked up, do as he does, lay your head
down, relax your muscles! Do not be afraid that you will be dropped!

It is necessary to understand abandonment: it is to let everything go, it is to
walk away from everything, it is to let go of fear.

God knows you better than you do, God has seen everything about you, he loves
you, he wants to take you as you are.

He wants your yes and he is the one who will turn you into children of the
Divine Will.

Understand all the power you have within yourselves.

The present is the moment in which you must abandon yourselves.

What is going to happen in an hour does not belong to you, what happened a few
moments ago no longer belongs to you, what is present belongs to God.

And so, do you see that nothing belongs to you? Just give your yes and God will
do everything for you.

Be faithful.

I gave everything to my Father.

I saw everything that was going to happen, but in a surge of love for my Father,
I said yes to my Father.

And even if my Body was covered in Blood when the angel presented the chalice to
me: that Blood was a yes, my children: a loving yes.

I accepted everything, and so you accept as well: accept your future, accept
your past as well, my children.

Even if this makes you suffer, even if this will make you suffer, and even if
this has made you suffer: carry that yes, it is in this chalice, do not hold it
back.

I drank of the bitterness and so, my children, abandon yourselves in me, Jesus,
for I know who you are better than you.

Abandon yourselves in me, Jesus.

My children of love, this time is so precious to you!

At each moment you discover how much God my Father has loved you, and if you do
not become aware of this externally, give it to me.

I will take charge of making you realize this, one moment at a time, so that you
are not crushed by the enormity of this discovery.

You are enveloped by my Father's love, you are in God, you are in me, Jesus.

I want you to be love.

Oh! My children, this time is making you go forward towards my Father's Kingdom,
this time is making you go forward towards my Father's reign on earth.

But before entering my Father's Kingdom you must know my Father's reign on earth
as in Heaven.

Oh! Children of love, it is grace for you to discover the peace within you, the
joy within you.

At this very moment, if this does not seem to you as you thought it was, this
requires a yes of abandonment, for your human will cannot perceive the immensity
of my Father's love, the human will cannot perceive my Father's action within
you and within those you carry.

Leave to God what belongs to God.

I want you to give yourselves.

Children of love, the choice is yours: if you want to live as children of God,
you must say yes and give my Father what belongs to my Father.

Children of love, if you are waiting to say your yes, you will continue using
your human will while knowing what is on the other side of the medal: everything
for yourselves, only for yourselves, while enduring your sufferings alone.

You see, my children, God respects who you are, but the moment in which you say
a tiny little yes, then God takes everything you are ? God, he does not do
things halfway.

Even if you, you believe that your little yes does not bring you what you
desire,

God, who knows you better than you do, knows the degree of your abandonment.

I am speaking like this because you carry within you children who are hesitant,
you carry within you children who are afraid, who have no confidence, who ask
themselves if all this is of any use in their present-day lives.

Children of love, I reveal these things to you through this instrument of love
because you have already begun to relinquish your human will to God, just like
this instrument of love, who has uttered her yes, allows herself to be
transformed by us, the Divine Will, at every moment of her life.



She has not yet achieved her full transformation, and you, my children, have not
yet achieved your full transformation! It is like this little baby, it is at
every moment that he grows, and yet, he does not realize it.

One day, he will look at himself in a mirror and he will say: once, I was a
baby.

You see, your transformation is like this.

When you will see me, you who have agreed to be transformed by God, you will say
to yourselves: I once was in my human will, and today, I am in the Divine Will.

All this will be done through me, through God's power, without a single effort
on your part.

What I am asking from you is complete abandonment at every single moment.

A yes, my children, and I do everything. I love you, my beloved.

I want to take your yes from within you at this very moment and present it to my
Father, enveloped in my yes.

Beloved, beloved, I love you. Love, love you shall be, through me, in the Divine
Will.

Amen, my children of love.



Blessing from Abbot Andrï Chevalier: How wonderful it is, Lord, to be gathered
together near you, with you and in you. You once gathered your apostles Peter,
John, and James on the mountain when you were transfigured and they were able to
see more fully the greatness of the mystery of the Son you gave us.

But they who
wanted to build their tents so as to stay on the mountain forever, you surprised
them by saying no, go back down and return to life, to the world, to the plain,
to bear witness. And so, thank you Lord for this meeting on the mountain and
now, enable us to go back down in joy, in peace, in serenity. Enable us to find
the strength throughout the week to come.

 

Enable us to find the songs of joy to
thank and praise you. May almighty God, Father, Son and Spirit, bestow his
blessings upon you in abundance, may he give you the joy of his love and mercy:
in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

All: Amen.



The Girl of My Will in Jesus in the Holy Spirit: graces of love, Lord, to bear
witness to his action, he doesn't want me to let my human will to surface.

He says that everything must be enveloped in his power of love, he says that
it's the Holy Spirit who will penetrate hearts.

It's with simple words that he wants to address us, it's with ordinary words,
too.

He's making us discover something wonderful that we're not used to hearing
about.

To go within ourselves, to live these moments of deep intimacy with Jesus,

this is wonderful, you know! I'm doing this with you.

It happens that I do this at home, quite often, but it's private, alone in front
of his Holy Face, but now, it's in front of all these people! He reveals himself
and he wants us to discover him, but in his own way, not ours.

What he does is done with simplicity, it's done according to what we are.

He doesn't want us to be someone else, he doesn't want us to be anything other
than what we are.

You know, what I've just heard, me too, just like you, led me to the discovery
of something I didn't know.

You know, when we begin to discover God's greatness in his Divine Will, oh, my
God, it's amazing! And, at the same time, it's so deep!

You have to abandon yourself with trust: complete trust!

The words I've just said, they?re words that were inside me; I heard them, I
repeated them.

I couldn't have done otherwise because those words flowed through me like water
from a fountain; I couldn't analyze them, I couldn't stop anything, I received,
and I spoke.

It was The Love who spoke to us, it's The Love who's making us discover what he
expects of us.

Every day, we live with our little habits; we work with our children, with our
phones, with our outings that we plan on making, our studies, with all this, but
at the same time we live with God's love.

This doesn't seem real to us! Is is possible to live like this, so close to God?

You know, it's been since 2001 that I have been hearing Jesus inside me, and I
can't get used to it, it's too beautiful, it's too wonderful! I just got back
from western Canada: twelve days of hearing God talking like this with my
brothers and my sisters.

It's not the same thing when I'm alone: when I'm alone, it?s intimate, it's
about teachings; it's not exactly the same thing, it's something that really
takes hold of me!

Can you see the difference? When Jesus talks inside me, I let him talk; it's
like a voice that is inside me and I don't do anything, I listen to him. But
now, right now, when I'm with you, he takes who I am, he uses what I am to talk
to you: this is completely different! There's a part of my human will that is
involved; when I hear Jesus, there is abandonment, I abandon myself, I listen to
him like you listen to a friend, it's as simple as that! It's as if I were
listening to you talk.

But in this case, it?s not the same thing; he takes my human will and he uses it
to talk to you: this is a commitment, this is a public yes, this is a yes that
performs an action, it?s an active yes, this isn?t the same thing! When I give
my yes at home, when I give my yes at every moment, well, it's a yes that's
completely abandoned in Jesus, I let go, just as I'm letting myself go right
now; but the fact is that I realize that I've just committed myself to what I'm
doing, I've just committed myself with regards to society, on a human level.

I've just realized I knew this before but I've just realized it even more
deeply, that people can throw tomatoes at me, that they can say to me: She's a
liar, she's crazy, she's making this stuff up.

But this, this is a yes that brings commitment with it and I believe that he
makes me go forward in his Divine Will as he wishes, in his action, like he
lived on earth how many things our Jesus of love must have endured!

You know, when we become aware of Jesus' love, it's beautiful: Ah! Jesus loves
us, it's wonderful!

But when we understand his human will, he lived a yes before my little nothing
of a yes that I just pronounced at this moment, but his yes was a yes uttered in
his humanness: this led him to endure the cross.

What is the most important thing I have discovered? A yes of love, a yes that
gave itself to save our lives But I also discover a yes in Jesus who accepted to
be crucified, a yes (in Jesus) who accepted that we ridicule him.

I am, at this moment, standing behind him.

I feel that I am behind Jesus who is talking, just as he spoke to the Pharisees
who had created laws.

They were important men, and he offended them out of love for his Father.

Are we prepared to do the same? Are we ready to back up our yes? You know, to
say yes to Jesus in the Divine Will is perhaps an easy yes, but a yes pronounced
before everybody while facing the consequences:

that's allowing yourself to be enveloped by the yes of Jesus that he said on
earth.

When Jesus asked me to take him in my hands (during a vision), it was his Body
that I held in these hands.

He spoke of his Body earlier, of his human side, but he also wants us to give
our yes against all odds, despite what they will all think about me and about
you as well.

It doesn't mean much, you know, when you say it in front of your children, in
front of your friends, but when you say it out there, when it goes further than
these walls, then it has consequences! Jesus, his yes bore consequences: it
brought him to carry a Cross, our cross, because his Cross was made of our
cross.

Jesus' yes even led him to being judged by his friends, by his own apostles who
were afraid.

You know, when his apostles fled, Jesus found himself all alone with his yes, he
went forward all alone while carrying our human yeses.

The yeses that we're in the process of giving, he carried them.

At this very moment, we're entering into the Divine Will, we're entering into a
complete yes: an internal yes and an external yes, and this yes will lead us to
enduring the consequences, but we won't be able to endure them if we don't give
them to Jesus, because he carried them before us.

Jesus carried his Cross, our cross.

Jesus allowed himself to be ridiculed because we're going to be ridiculed due to
our yes.

You know, when he said, Happy are those who will be ridiculed because of my
Name, that's our yes, too, but: it's a yes that will lead us to eternal life,
it's a yes that will get us through the step required to enter his New Earth,
it's a yes said in the Divine Will.

To live in the Divine Will is to abandon everything.

It's to say to our human will: I don't want you anymore, I want to live in the
Divine Will.

It's great to do this on the inside but now we have to do this on the outside
and this will lead us to movements that will not always be easy for us, because
we're still going to have our human will that eats us up inside and wants to
hold us back.

Because before, when I finished talking, all of a sudden I saw the consequence
of my yes, just like that! I had just understood that I had to give a yes
externally: a total yes.

I gave my total yes on the inside so that he could use me; I didn't even know
that by giving my yes I was going to be doing what I am doing right now.

It was easy up until this very moment to give my yes, but when you hear words
like the ones we've just heard, they're words of testimony from the Will of the
Father, from the Divine Will, against all odds:

against those who remain in their human will.

You know, we have built a society with human will, we have Lord taught our
children, we were taught with human will, we have instituted laws with human
will and with human will, as well, we want God's laws to be respected, but
always with our human will!

But when we discover that God's laws are not like human laws, controversies
always crop up. Why? Because we started with what God gave us but we used it
with our human will.

So, God is coming into us, he wants to talk to us.

At this moment, he wants us to learn that this time is coming to an end.

A time is coming when God's laws will be respected with his Will of love, with
his Divine Will: this, this will be different! As you can see, our yes will have
to be solid, and it's God who will make it solid so that we will be able to bear
witness to our yes externally.

How is this going to happen? We're not the ones who are going to do this, it's
God; but, on the other hand, we're going to have to continue saying our yes
despite the consequences of what he's going to make us do.

This means that when we're going to bear witness to God's action inside us, when
we're going to let God turn us into children of the Divine Will, we're still
going to have to continue seeing children who haven't said their yes and who are
going to hear: us who have said our yes.

They're not always going to agree with what we say but, by continuing to say our
yes with humility, with littleness, knowing that nothing comes from us, but from
God: we will go on.

Do you know why?

Because we will know how much Jesus loves us.

When I went to talk with our good priest earlier, he was talking and Jesus was
saying to me, Listen, listen to him, and do you know what he was doing, Jesus?
He was enveloping me in love, and this is how we will face all odds:

by letting God envelop us in his love.

When I first began doing this, Jesus spoke, his first book: love; in it, he
talks only about love.

You ask yourself why is he always talking about love, it's repetitive Well, I
can assure you that it isn't repetitive.

We need to hear God, at every moment, telling us how loving he is, telling us
how loving the Holy Spirit is, how loving Jesus is, how his Mother let herself
be enveloped in this love.

We need this!

We need to meditate book one, we need to grasp this love, to eat it: yes, we
need to eat of this nourishment, this is what we need, a food that nourishes us.

We need God's love like we need the air, like we need the light, we need God's
love in order to utter our yes and to be able to keep our yes strong, even after
we learn that we have to go forward with what we discover.

We must go on, we must be obedient.

Yes, we must carry our cross, yes, we must accept to suffer the agony with
Jesus, in Jesus, in the Divine Will.

We must enter into Jesus.

This gesture that he made, this movement of love, this is our life: this is our
yes! We must not stop carrying our cross, we must rise up to the moment when God
will make us see his Glory.

If Jesus carried his Cross, if Jesus took all those steps, it was to show us
that we too must do so.

And God rewarded him, he resurrected him.

He resurrected him, he was glorified, and we're going to be glorified in Jesus.

In the Divine Will, this movement has already been accomplished.

He has already done everything we're living at this very moment.

He knew you were going to be present, he knew my reaction earlier, he knew that
I needed my priest in order to get through an external yes.

Yes, I will go on, I don?t know what tomorrow has in store for me, he knows. We
must go on!

We have taken a step together, there are others to be taken.

When he says that he's coming, that his Kingdom is coming to earth, well, it has
begun! His Father's Kingdom is on earth: when Jesus came on earth, he came in
his Name, he came to talk about his Father's Kingdom on earth.

So, at this very moment, we?re in Jesus, we?re in the Divine Will, we?re living
in his Father's Kingdom on earth.

Hey, this isn?t what we thought, is it? We thought it would be, bang! All of a
sudden! No, that?s not it.

We have to go through Jesus.

We have to follow the same path that he followed, in the same way as he did.

We live in Jesus, so we must live the Life of Jesus, as we are.

Jesus is the Son of God, Mary is Mary in Jesus, just like the apostles were the
apostles in Jesus, just like we are us in Jesus.

We?re all different, but we?re all the same in Jesus.

We?re in the process of discovering an incredibly powerful love: God's love
inside us, God's power inside us.

God is making us become once again what we should have been, and so,

we?re going backwards and at the same time, he's making us go forward.

Going backwards: we renounce everything, we renounce our human will, we want
nothing to do with sin, we renounce all that is worrisome: no, I don?t want
anything to do with that feeling, I don?t want any anxiety, I don?t want to see
myself as weak, I give it to you, Jesus.

Carry all this, Jesus, you carried it in the Cross.

I want to go back to what I was before, in you, Jesus, very little.

And, at the same time, he makes us go forward, he make us go forward with an
external yes in the Divine Will, a loving yes: yes, I want to go forward; yes, I
want to carry my cross, just like you Jesus, in you, Jesus.

Me, I am not able to do this, but you, Jesus, you are able to do this.

You showed us that we had to turn to the Father, but this is what we?re living:

we?re dying in Jesus, and we?re living in the Divine Will.

This is incredible! It?s true that we?re a tiny bit confused.

Leave that up to God, he's going to clarify that for us.

It?s not up to us to do all that, but let?s savour this moment in which we?re
discovering: the wonder of wonders, God's work.

We are God's work, in his work.

Who are we to be hearing this? Who are we to be savouring these moments? Well,
we?re God's children.

Thank you, my God.

That?s all! There's no need to put ourselves down, we?ve been putting ourselves
down for too long, we need only say:

?Yes, we are God's children and this is how you want us to be.?

There's a lot to do but the wonderful thing is that we?re not the ones who are
doing it, it?s you, God; and there are so many things that he?s teaching us that
we need to absorb.

I feel something wonderful inside me that sort of wants to explode but, at the
same time, God is calming me down.

I remember not long ago, well, maybe not 5 minutes or even 10 minutes ago, it
was probably sometime this morning: Are you going to say something new, Jesus?
What are we going to say?

Hey! Lord, do we have a lot to learn! We have a lot to learn! And such wonderful
things! Do you know why? Because we're entering into the Divine Will and the
Divine Will is infinite.

Let's allow the Divine Will to flow within us: God is talking to us.

That's all we have to do: to listen and to let ourselves be transformed.

Let's always benefit, at every moment from what he has shown us: his Word.

It's through his Word that we'll understand everything.

He has said all there is to say, but we haven't been able to understand!

But that's not our fault, that's due to our human will!

And now, he's in the process of making us discover it in the Divine Will because
he knows that we're ready.

We're entering into the Divine Will: we go forward, we welcome, we continue
praying.

Prayer is a conversation with God and this conversation must be done in Jesus.

It is Jesus who must do it, not us.

He's asking us for a yes, he's asking us for no more; so, when we talk, when we
pray, it's in Jesus: he's the one who will take everything.

He made me discover something wonderful: prayer with all our brothers and
sisters; this goes further than praying in ourselves.

We must pray in the Divine Will with our external yes.

All this means, Lord, is that I allow your Word to come through.



Jesus: Children of love, you have known prayer groups; these prayer groups were
formed by my children of the Light.

My children of the Light gather together to pray, to give God their requests so
they may obtain graces of love, graces of wisdom, of piety, of intelligence,
graces of science, graces of abandonment, of healing, of liberation.

Children of love, when a prayer group prays, it prays in the Divine Will, it
prays with all my children.

I want an external yes: I want you to pray with all prayer groups, I want all
prayer groups to unite in order to form only one group in the Divine Will.

Oh! Children of love, do not take yourselves for little children capable of
praying, let God pray within you.

Pray with all children, gather together, unite your strength.

You are little! When a prayer group claims it prays and it prays with another
group, and that group joins another, and that one joins another to form but one
group, I turn them into lights on earth: I want to turn you into one prayer
group.

Children of love, you must come together, you must form but one single prayer
group.

If you pray with intentions, can you realize the power you would have if you
gathered together all the prayer groups of the entire world? Do not remain as an
individual group.

Pray in me, Jesus, I am the Church and the Church is one: the Church is
everywhere, my children. I am not telling you to not form groups like the Flame
of Love, like the Marial group, this must remain, but you must unite these
groups with other groups to form one force to crush Satan.

He himself has formed groups, my children, and in his darkness, he unites his
groups.

I, the Light, I want you to be the light within the Light.

I want you to be children, little, humble; stop competing with one group of
light or with another group of light.

I speak in hearts, I am the Heart of The Love.

My Mother, the Immaculate Heart, she is in my Heart: we form one single Heart,
there is no greater Heart than mine.

May every prayer group be part of one and only prayer group; you will light up
the entire earth. Such is my Father's Will.

Beloved, I love you. Beloved, be obedient, open your hearts, let the hearts of
all children enter and I, along with my Mother, I envelop your hearts in order
to form but one heart, the Heart of The Love.

Love one another as I love you.

May I ask my priest to extend his loving hands over all the prayer groups of the
entire world,

so that they may welcome my words It is up to you, my son, to know if you wish
to continue giving.

Give, give, my loving son.

Amen.



Blessing from Abbot Andr� Chevalier: While looking at the statue of the
Blessed Heart that is in her hands, I think we have heard a beautiful appeal: to
form the Church, to gather together, ecclesia, to meet: it's the same word. Send
your Spirit, Lord, over your people, gathered together.

Send your Spirit, Lord, so that we may form one Church, one single Church: one,
holy, Catholic and apostolic.

Unite the hearts of all those who are part of movements, of groups, of teams, so
that they may learn the path of unity, so that they may learn to become brothers
and sisters for one another.

Send your Spirit so that the Advent of the Body of Christ might take place
everywhere, especially where it is still unknown and here at home where we are
in the process of forgetting about it. Through Jesus Christ who lives and
reigns: in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.



All: Amen.

"The Way of the Cross is thus a path leading to the heart of the Eucharistic mystery: popular piety and sacramental piety of the Church blend together and become one" (Pope Benedict XVI).


 

 

"O my Holy Jesus, give me an upright and just heart, that I may love Thee, the King of Jerusalem, and wait for Thy coming, and feed upon the Bread of God.  Jesus, teach me the hidden secrets of Thy love" (Fr. Frederick A. Reuter, K.C.B.S.).


 

 

 

Mother Teresa -

The first step to becoming holy is to will it. St. Thomas says, " Sanctity consists in nothing else than a firm resolve, the heroic act of a soul abandoning himself to God. By an upright will we love God, we choose God, we run toward God, we reach Him, we possess Him." O good, good Will which transforms me into the image of God and makes me like Him! We will be in Steubenville the next few days, so have posted 6 days of Mother Teresa's words of wisdom for everyone. God bless each of you. We must know exactly when we say yes to God what is in that yes.
Yes means " I surrender," totally, fully, without any counting the cost, without any examination, " Is it all right? Is it convenient?"


 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Bearing physical and moral ailments is the worthiest offering you can make to He who saved us through suffering (Letters III, p. 487).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Passion is merely the echo of knowledge!

"Passion has its seat in the body or the animal nature of man. It is the echo of the knowledge in our physical structure but it is not knowledge. Passion implies sensible changes, such as the flushing of the cheeks, the dilating of the pupils and the tensing of many muscles."

St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -

 

As I was praying before the Blessed Sacrament and greeting the five wounds of Jesus, at each salutation I felt a torrent of graces gushing into my soul, giving me a foretaste of heaven and absolute confidence in God's mercy.       (1337)

O merciful God, You do not despise us, but lavish Your graces on us continuously. You make us fit to enter Your kingdom, and in Your goodness You grant that human beings may fill the places vacated by the ungrateful Angels. O God of great mercy, who turned Your sacred gaze away from the rebellious Angels and turned it upon contrite man, praise and glory be to Your unfathomable mercy, O God who do not despise the lowly heart.       (1339)

My Jesus, let my sacrifice burn before Your throne in all silence, but with the full force of love, as I beg You to have mercy on souls.       (1342)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 

 

Mar 29 - WIPE THE TEARS FROM MY FACE

The following message from the Queen of Peace is her lengthiest—and one of the most important. Along with a short passage from scripture, it will serve as our reading and reflection for this Lenten day.

My Dear Children! I came to you in order to lead you to purity of soul and then to God. But how did you receive me? At first with disbelief, fearful and suspicious of the children I had chosen. Later on, most of you received me in your hearts and began to live your Mother's messages. But that did not last for long.

Whenever I come to you my Son comes with me, but so does Satan. You unwittingly permitted him to influence you and now he drives you on. It is up to you to recognize when your behaviour is displeasing to God, but you often stifle the thought.

Do not give in, dear children. Wipe from my face the tears that I shed when I see you acting like this. Rouse yourselves. Take the time to meet God in your church. Come into your Father's house. Take time for family prayer so you can receive God's grace. Remember your deceased; give them joy by offering a Mass for them.

Do not be scornful of those who beg you for a piece of bread. Do not turn them away from your overladen tables. Help them and God will help you. Perhaps this is the way in which God will hear you and bestow upon you blessings in thanksgiving.

You have forgotten all this, my children, under Satan's influence. Be wary! Pray with me! Do not deceive yourselves in thinking, "I am good, but my brother next door is not." You would be wrong. Your Mother loves you and so I warn you.

People do not know the secrets, my children, but when they learn of them it will be too late. Return to prayer! Nothing is more important. I wish the Lord would permit to enlighten you a little more about the secrets, but the graces you have already received are great enough.

Think how much you have offended him What have you given him of yourself? When was the last time you gave up something for the Lord? I do not want to reprimand you further, but to call you once again to prayer, fasting, and penance. If you wish to obtain a special grace from God by fasting, then let no one know you are fasting. If you wish to obtain a certain grace from God through a gift to the poor, then keep your almsgiving a secret between you and the Lord.

Listen to me, my children! Meditate on my message in prayer (Special Message January 28, 1987).

And from the Acts of the Apostles, this quote from Isaiah echoes Our Lady's words:

For this people's heart has grown dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and they have shut their eyes; so that they might not look with their eyes, and listen with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn—and I would heal them (Acts 28:27).

Application:

Simply heed the Gospa's advice in the last sentence of her message today: "Meditate on my message in prayer."

"Our Father Who are in Heaven in the heaven of the Eucharist . . . may we in all humility and zeal make You known, loved and adored by all men in the Holy Eucharist . . .  Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Eucharistic Kingdom.  Rule Thou alone forever over us for Your greater glory through the power of your love" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).


Mother Teresa -

We obtain grace in proportion to our sanctity, to our fervor, and to our degree of union with our Lord.


 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

The angels are jealous of us for one reason only; they are not able to suffer for God. Only through suffering can a soul say the certainty, "My God, You see I do love You!" (FM, 166).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

If we don't know about something we can't get passionate about it!

"Passion cannot operate unless we have an idea about something. A woman will not `get mad' at a bargain counter, unless she knows that someone is getting the better selection. We speak of people becoming `enthused' about some idea - and an idea is knowledge. No one undergoes the passion of sadness without first having a knowledge of a loss or a disaster."

You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.       (1319)

At three o'clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy for the whole world. I will allow you to enter into My mortal sorrow. In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion....      (1320)

As I was meditating on the sin of the Angels and their immediate punishment, I asked Jesus why the Angels had been punished as soon as they had sinned. I heard a voice: Because of their profound knowledge of God. No person on earth, even though a great saint, has such knowledge of God as an Angel has. Nevertheless, to me who am so miserable, You have shown Your mercy, O God, and this, time and time again. You carry me in the bosom of Your mercy and forgive me every time that I ask Your forgiveness with a contrite heart.       (1332

MARCH 28 - ENCOUNTER THE LIVING GOD

Our Lady speaks of encountering the Lord today:

"Dear Children, today I wish to call you to prayer so that you may encounter the living God. He offers and give himself to you, asking only that you freely answer his call.

Therefore, little children, set aside a special time each day when you pray in peace and humility, meeting with God the Creator. I am with you and intercede to God for you. Be alert that your prayer truly be a joyful encounter with God. (Monthly Message November 25, 1988)

In this passage, Paul gives us an example of intercessory prayer:

For this reason, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding… (Col 1: 9)

Reflection:

As Our Lady stresses today, prayer is the most essential component of our lives, for it is a direct encounter with the living God.

Elsewhere, the Madonna asks that we pray for a number of her intentions (peace, conversion of sinners, the sick, etc.), as well as our own. As this array of prayer intentions can sometimes be difficult to remember or fit into one day, the following suggestions may help.

First, you many wish to write down on an index card the intentions you wish to pray for every day. Place the card in your wallet or purse (or in a prayerbook you use each day). Consult it as you pray the rosary, offering one decade for each intention; this will allow you to pray for 5 to 15 intentions each day.

Second, just as a priest normally has an intention for each Mass he offers, so you too can offer the Masses you attend for one or more special intentions. The same can be done for other prayer forms which the church offers us, such as the Stations of the Cross, litanies, and of course novenas.

Another form is conversational prayer with God. Here we simply speak to the Lord about our prayer intention, describing it and lifting it up, so to speak, for him to see and bless. But the most beautiful form of prayer may be that of sheer praise and gratitude, with the Lord himself searching our hearts for our special needs and intentions.

Application:

If advisable, write down your prayer intentions today. Remember that they can be prayed for in a variety of ways. It is our faithfulness that is most important.

 

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 27 - Honor the wounds of my Son

 

Message of March 25, 2006
"Courage, little children! I decided to lead you on the way of
holiness. Renounce sin and set out on the way of salvation, the way
which my Son has chosen. Through each of your tribulations and
sufferings God will find the way of joy for you. Therefore, little
children, pray. We are close to you with our love. Thank you for
having responded to my call."

The air that we breathe, the bread that we eat, the heart which throbs in our bosoms, are not more necessary for man that he may live as a human being, than is prayer for the Christian that he may live as a Christian.  - St. John Eudes

 


 

"My soul, if you wish to be intimate with Mary, let yourself be carried between her arms and nourished with her blood . . . .   Let this ineffable, chaste thought accompany you to the Banquet of God and you will find in the Blood of the Son the nourishment of the Mother" (St. Albert the Great).


 

 

Mother Teresa -

A day alone with Jesus is apt to spur us on in the vigorous pursuit of holiness through personal love for Jesus.
Jesus desires our perfection with unspeakable ardor. " For this is the will of God, your sanctification. " We are but instruments that God deigns to use; these instruments bring forth fruit in the measure that they are united to God......


 

 

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

The God of Christians is the God of metamorphosis; you throw your sufferings into His bosom and you draw out peace; you throw in despair and you see hope coming to the surface (FM, 166).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Why do we put so much credence on what `they' say?

"Many live under the illusion that their rejection of religious faith is a proof that they are immune from credulity. The truth is that they too accept authority, but it is the vague, vaporous, anonymous authority of `they.' `They' are wearing green, and the like. Who are `they'? The person of faith at least knows the One Whose guidance he accepts."

 

 

St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -

 

When I make the Way of the Cross, I am deeply moved at the twelfth station. Here I reflect on the omnipotence of God's mercy which passed through the Heart of Jesus. In this open wound of the Heart of Jesus I enclose all poor humans... and those individuals whom I love, as often as I make the Way of the Cross. From that Fount of Mercy issued the two rays; that is, the Blood and the Water. With the immensity of their grace they flood the whole world....       (1309)

O my Jesus, now everything is clear to me, and I understand all that has just happened. I somehow felt and asked myself what sort of a poor man is this who radiates such modesty. From that moment on, there was stirred up in my heart an even purer love toward the poor and the needy. Oh, how happy I am that my superiors have given me such a task! I understand that mercy is manifold; one can do good always and everywhere and at all times. An ardent love of God sees all around itself constant opportunities to share itself through deed, word and prayer. Now I understand the words which You spoke to me, O Lord, some time ago.       (1313)

Mar 27 - HONOR THE WOUNDS OF MY SON

Today the Gospa gives a Lenten message on the passion of Christ:

"Dear Children, in a special way this evening, I am calling you during Lent to honor the wounds of my Son, which he received from the sins of this parish. Unite yourselves with my prayers for the parish so that his sufferings may be bearable." (Weekly Message March 22, 1984).

In the prophet Isaiah we find the image of the suffering servant:

Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have all turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. ---Isaiah 53:4-6

Reflection:

Both the Blessed Virgin and Isaiah speak of the Savior who suffered for our sins: "By his wounds are we healed," the prophet writes. No one in Isaiah's day would have dreamed that God would choose to save the world through a suffering servant, rather than a messianic king. The idea was contrary to human pride and logic. True, the Israelites offered animals as sacrifices for their sins. But a human being? The Messiah himself?

He was the Lamb of God, the sinless servant who offered himself in sacrifice for the sins of mankind; the Anointed One who suffered in place of the guilty.

How can we fathom such love? Today the Virgin tells us it is through prayer: "Honor the wounds of my Son. …Unite yourselves with my prayers." The Holy Spirit will give us insight into these deep currents of love which can be understood in no other way.

Application:

From The Imitation of Christ: "Take comfort in the passion of Christ, and dwell willingly in his sacred wounds. Endure with Christ, suffer for him, if you wish to reign with him."

Today, with a crucifix in your hands, offer the Lord's Prayer in honor of each of the Savior's wounds, concluding with your own prayer of dedication.
