Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 03 - Abandon yourselves to me
"With ever-living ardor, contemplate Christ in the mystery of the Eucharist. Following His example, be ready in all circumstances to make yourselves instruments of mercy and communion. The secret of pastoral success is the crucified and risen Lord, Whom we adore in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. As you well know, in order to be eloquent signs of His love and instigators of His peace in all environments, everyone is first of all asked to cultivate an intimate and constant familiarity with Him. From intense participation in the Eucharist springs the spiritual energy needed to bring all projects of goodness to fruition." (Pope John Paul II, February 19, 2005)
"Who does not see that the hidden life of Nazareth is continued in the divine Host of the tabernacle, and that the Passion of the Man-God on Calvary is renewed in the Holy Sacrifice at every moment of the day and night and all over the world? Is not our Lord as meek and humble in His Sacrament as during His mortal life? Is He not always the Good Shepherd, the divine Consoler, our bosom Friend?" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Apr 3 Woe to those who are dishonest! Not only do they loose all human respect, but they cannot take up any public office either. So let us be honest always, casting all bad thoughts from our minds, and keeping our hearts always turned to God, who created us and placed us on earth in order to know, love and serve Him in this life, and then enjoy Him eternally in the next (CS, no. 15, pp74f.).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
03-What has happened to absolutes?
"Nothing has so much killed enthusiasm as the pragmatic notion that there is nothing that is absolutely true, right, and good for which one ought to consecrate his life; and there is nothing so evil that one ought to die rather than surrender to it. Indifference kills passions; while skepticism deadens them."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
When I look into the future, I am frightened,
But why plunge into the future?
Only the present moment is precious to me,
As the future may never enter my soul at all.P>It is no longer in my power,
To change, correct or add to the past;
For neither sages nor prophets could do that.
And so, what the past has embraced I must entrust to God.
O present moment, you belong to me, whole and entire.
I desire to use you as best I can.
And although I am weak and small,
You grant me the grace of your omnipotence.
And so, trusting in Your mercy,
I walk through life like a little child,
Offering You each day this heart
Burning with love for Your greater glory. (2)
O Jesus, eternal Truth, strengthen my feeble forces; You can do all things, Lord. I know that without You all my efforts are in vain. O Jesus, do not hide from me, for I cannot live without You. Listen to the cry of my soul. Your mercy has not been exhausted, Lord, so have pity on my misery. Your mercy surpasses the understanding of all Angels and people put together; and so, although it seems to me that You do not hear me, I put my trust in the ocean of Your mercy, and I know that my hope will not be deceived. (69)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.
APRIL 3 - ABANDON YOURSELVES TO ME
Our Lady speaks of the fruits of abandonment today:
"If you would abandon yourselves to me, you would not even feel the passage from this life to the next. You would begin to live the life of heaven on earth." (Locution Jelena & Mirijana 1986).
From the cross when Jesus entrusted his Mother to his apostle John, she was given to all of us as well:
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, "Woman, here is your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Here is your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home (Jn 19:26-27).
Reflection:
Just as Mary was given to us by Jesus, so we in turn are called to give ourselves to the Blessed Mother.
Let us do just that, using the "Prayer to Give
Oneself to Mary, Mother of Goodness, Love, and Mercy," dictated to Jelena in 1984:
O my Mother, Mother of goodness, love, and mercy, I love you so much, and I now offer myself to you. Save me through your goodness, Your love, and your mercy. I wish to be yours. Deep is my love for you, And I place myself under your protection. Grant to my heart, Mother Mary, A share of your own goodness, That I may someday join you in heaven. In your great love, grant That I may have the grace to love all people As you loved your Son, Jesus Christ. Grant me the grace to be so merciful That it may touch your own heart. I now offer myself completely to you And ask you to accompany me at each step, For you are full of grace. May I never forget your love and grace; But should I ever lose sight of it, I shall call upon you And you will help me find it again. Amen.
Application:
Since the church has reserved Saturday as Our Lady's special day of the week, you may wish to offer her this prayer of dedication on that day.

Make use of this sacrament often
Reading: John 20:19-23
Dear friends,
To you I lift up my eyes who are enthroned in heaven. Behold, as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters, as the eyes of a maid are on the hands of her mistress, so are our eyes on the Lord, our God, till he have pity on us. Psalm 123:1-2
My time of prayer this morning was spent with Jesus, Our Lord and Saviour. He said, Melvin, My brother and friend, I love you. I bless all My beloved brothers and sisters living in the world. You who live the Christian life are the joy of My heart. Do not be afraid and be full of cheer as you are in My Kingdom.
I know that you are weak and at times you say yes to temptations. Without My help you cannot do any good. This is why I gave My Apostles and all those who receive the priesthood the power to forgive sins. They use this power in the Sacrament of Reconciliation where you confess your sins and are sorry for what you have done and the priest then absolves you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This sacrament is the sacrament of mercy, that mercy that flows from My wounded heart. I have great compassion on all those who sin and repent for having offended their Father.
Unfortunately, many of My followers today do not take advantage of this sacrament. Many think they can go straight to the Father and ask Him to forgive them. They forget that I, their Saviour, instituted this sacrament and that I wish all Christians to make use of it. This is the ordinary way by which your sins are forgiven. The priest stands in My place and as he prayerfully recites the formula of absolution, all your sins are taken away. You are free and you receive the powerful grace of the sacrament. Make use of this sacrament often. I love you and bless you.

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 31, 2008
He is your only Saviour
Reading: Luke 1:26-38
Dear friends,
Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingship there will be no end. Luke 1:30-33
I spent a busy weekend in Rogersville, New Brunswick, during the last three days. I gave a retreat at the Trappist Monastery. People came from as far away as Dieppe and Lameque, NB. The chapel was full for the Healing Mass on Saturday evening.
This evening I will go to the Church of St. Simon and St. Jude, Tignish, to celebrate Holy Mass at 7:00 p.m. I will introduce Mr. David Little after the celebration of the Holy Eucharist and invite him to speak to the people. He will speak about the evil of abortion and how our tax money is used to pay for abortions in Canada.
I was in prayer early this morning with our Heavenly Father and He said, Melvin, My son, I bless you and I love you. I love all My sons and daughters. I am here with Jesus, My beloved Son, and with Mary, the Mother of Jesus. There is great joy in heaven as the Church on earth celebrates the Annunciation. When the time had come, I sent the Angel Gabriel to announce to Mary that She had been chosen from all eternity to be the Mother of My only Son. He was conceived that day by the power of the Holy Spirit. The promised Messiah (Saviour) would now appear on earth. He would be born like any other human being, except that I would be His Father.
A great event happened although it was hidden at the time. God the Son, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, took upon Himself human nature in the womb of His Mother. God at that moment became man. From His conception, Jesus was present inside the womb of Mary, His chosen Mother. I sent My Son clothed in human flesh to bring salvation to all the people who would believe in Him and accept Him as their Saviour.
He came as the Suffering Servant to suffer and die to take away your sins so that you could be My beloved children. Through His great sacrifice, He opened heaven for you.
Come, My dear children, and accept the gift of faith I am giving you. Many of you have already accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. Pray that your faith may become strong so that you may follow Him every day. He is your only Saviour. I bless you all.

Message From the Father March 31, 2008

Son, the days of preparation will soon come an end to be followed by event
after event. Your media will have difficulty covering the enormity of
devastation that will visit the earth which may take place anytime, anywhere,
waking up people to the stark realization that it is true the end times have
indeed arrived.
It grieves my heart at what I see but it is better that prophecy comes to
fulfillment this time than me staying my hand once more for if there is no end
of present things there will be no glorious beginning.
Tell my faithful not be sacred at my words for they are at the palm of my hands
and I will not allow them to be tested beyond their capacity to endure.
Tell them I wait their homecoming to my kingdom of real peace and happiness.

Jesus
My dear apostles, I speak to you from My heart, the seat of love. I speak to
you freely at this time to teach you about love. I desire that each of you
accept My love, which includes the love of all of heaven. Those who are
lukewarm and do not accept my love cannot help Me in My goal of renewal.
Those who are concerned with establishing their kingdoms on earth will lose
opportunities to seed the renewal each day. Those who postpone a full
commitment to My goals will find that they are sadly disappointed later, when
they realize how important their service was to Me. I rely on My apostles to be
passionate about service, seeking always to store up heavenly treasures in the
souls of those around them. Truly, no kind word, no compassionate silence, no
act of love is lost. Each of these is both used immediately and preserved
eternally. I understand that you are tired at times. I understand that you
become discouraged. I understand these things because in My humanity I
experienced these things. I allow these feelings in My beloved apostles because
their service to Me then becomes even more beneficial. Rest assured that you
have been given all that you need in strength and courage for each day's
service. There is no difficulty, from heaven's perspective, in an apostle
serving in weariness.
Most apostles served in weariness and the weariness that an apostle feels does
not mean that the fire of the Spirit is at risk of being extinguished.
Have no fear about this because I Myself tend to the presence of the Spirit in
your soul. This fire has been expertly banked so that it will burn for as long
as it needs to burn. Some day you will be finished with your service on earth.
The tasks that I need from you will be completed. This will be a joyful day for
you. You will see all that you have accomplished for Me. Yes, weariness comes
and goes, but love creates stamina that keeps the servant and the service
steady. In the time to come I intend to increase the capacity for love in each
apostle. This is necessary for heaven's goals and will enable My beloved ones
to serve with even greater dedication and humility. I will teach you more and
instruct you closely in the use of this gift as time passes. This heavenly
concession will greatly increase the effectiveness of My presence in your soul.
I am so grateful that you seek to remain close to Me. Rejoice, dear apostles.
I am with you.

WITH SWORD IN HIS HAND
SOME OF YOU, CHILDREN, ARE BEGINNING TO SENSE
THE STATE OF THE WORLD AND THE PENDING EVENTS.
YOU MAY NOT KNOW THE HOUR OR ITS IMPENDING FORCE,
BUT COMPARED TO WHAT HAS BEEN, IT WILL BE SOON MUCH WORSE.
THE WORLD, MY DEAR CHILDREN, HAS IGNORED MY ADVICE;
NOW MANKIND FOR THEIR SINS WILL HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE.
GOD GAVE MANKIND THE TIME FOR THEIR SINS TO REPENT,
BUT THEY CHOSE WITH SATAN THIS TIME TO BE SPENT.
AND NOW, MY DEAR CHILDREN, WITH SWORD IN HIS HAND
GOD WILL STRIKE EVERY PART WHERE SIN TARNISHED THIS LAND.
YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE GOD?S WRATH TO ESCAPE
IF YOU ENDORSED SATAN AND CHOSE GOD TO FORSAKE.
YET, THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO CARRY THEIR CROSS
WILL NOT FEEL THE FULL IMPACT OR SUFFER GREAT LOSS.
DO NOT JOIN THE ONES WHO MY WORDS NOW IGNORE
FOR THERE WILL BE NO TIME LEFT WHAT YOU LOST TO RESTORE.
THY WILL BE DONE
