Medjugorje Day By Day May 01- THE MONTH OF OUR LADY

"Then the whole of the Church, which celebrates the Eucharist, is praying with us. Then we are praying within the sphere of God's gracious hearing, because we are praying within the sphere of death and resurrection, that is where the real petition in all our petitions has been heard: the petition for the victory over death; the petition for love that is stronger than death" (Pope Benedict XVI).

St. Louis Marie de Montfort, Priest, Missionary (1673-1716), France—April 28
He wrote, "Do you hunger for the bread of grace and the bread of life? Draw near to her who bore the living Bread which came down from Heaven." "Place yourself humbly in the presence of God . . . . Renew your consecration [to the Blessed Virgin Mary] saying, `I belong entirely to you, dear Mother, and all that I have is yours.'"

Mother Teresa
Never let anything so fi

ll you with pain or sorrow so as to make you forget the joy of Christ Risen.

Meditations by Padre Pio -
When passing before an image of Our Lady we should say: "I greet you, Oh Mary. Greet Jesus for me."

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The shallowness of "Let's do lunch...sometime!"
"Insincerity of a minor degree is that in which we constantly promise something that we never expect to fulfill. The `Yes Man' is Exhibit A of that group, who is always afraid to assert his own mind and who identifies agreement with agreeableness.

Another form is the invitation to dinner, `Come up and have dinner with us sometime,' brings the equally agreeable and insincere answer, `Yes, I will.' The insincerity is in the indefiniteness; `sometime' can often mean, `We are not expecting you,' and its answer sometimes means, `Nor do I expect to go.'"

St. Faustina's diary <http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html> -
Tell souls not to place within their own hearts obstacles to My mercy, which so greatly wants to act within them. My mercy works in all those hearts which open their doors to it. Both the sinner and the righteous person have need of My mercy. Conversion, as well as perseverance, is a grace of My mercy. (1577)

Let souls who are striving for perfection particularly adore My mercy, because the abundance of graces which I grant them flows from My mercy. I desire that these souls distinguish themselves by boundless trust in My mercy. I myself will attend to the sanctification of such souls. I will provide them with everything they will need to attain sanctity.

The graces of My mercy are drawn by means of one vessel only, and that is-trust. The more a soul trusts, the more it will receive. Souls that trust boundlessly are a great comfort to Me, because I pour all the treasures of My graces into them.

I rejoice that they ask for much, because it is My desire to give much, very much. On the other hand, I am sad when souls ask for little, when they narrow their hearts. (1578)

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.

May 1 - THE MONTH OF OUR LADY

Referring to the month of May, Our Lady said:
"May this month be for you the month of the rosary and reading your Bible…"(Visionary Prayer Group May 9, 1988).

Reflection:

The month of May means that spring is here, and all of nature seems to rejoice; budding flowers and trees, green grass and sunshine, usher in a season of soft colors and new life.

This is Mary's month, of May crownings, processions, the rosary and, as she says today, a time for reading sacred scripture.

As Catholics, we are aware that the Bible is the inspired word of God, that his presence and truth are found within its pages. In somewhat the same way, nature reveals the image and beauty of God. St. Paul writes, "Since the creation of the world, invisible realities, God's eternal power and divinity, have become visible, recognized through the things he has made" (Rom 1 :20).

As spring unfolds, May we discover anew God's presence in creation, and with the psalmist sing his praise:

You visit the earth and water it, your greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide the people with grain, for so you have prepared it. You water its furrows abundantly, settling its ridges, softening it with showers, and blessing its growth.

The pastures of the wilderness overflow, the hills gird themselves with joy, the meadows clothe themselves with flocks, the valleys deck themselves with grain, they shout and sing together for joy. Psalm 65 :9-10,12-13

Application:

In celebration of this month dedicated to Our Lady, set aside in your home a May altar, placing on it an image of the Blessed Mother, some spring flowers, a candle, and a rosary. As a family, light the candle each day and offer Our Lady some special prayers, such as the rosary, the litany of Mary, or another prayer for the special intentions of the Queen of Peace.

Extremely Urgent: Message via Louise Starr Tomkiel, V+J
November 29, 2003---10:30 a.m.
 
Louise began to receive a message from God and said,
"Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood".
 
Then God spoke, "Today I invite all people to love and to serve Me in a greater capacity.  You men I ask to become deacons or to join a third order and live your vows from your heart.  If you are single I invite you to enter the religious life as priests or brothers. 

I will need you to offer the Holy Mass for My precious remnant and to consecrate the Holy Eucharist to nourish and sustain all My little ones as the Holy Catholic Church goes underground.
 
       I invite all My remnant women to consecrate yourselves to Me through various religious orders or to choose from a variety of lay or third orders.  You will be greatly needed to serve Me through My people and creatures both in My refuges and underground in My Church.  You will greatly assist My few good priests.
 
       Beloved remnant children come to Me today for time is extremely short and I need many helpers in My vineyard.  Each day brings you one step closer to all the catastrophic events that will soon happen.  You, My chosen ones, must be prepared physically, emotionally and spiritually to conduct yourselves with peace and love while doing your special duty for all My needy.
 
       The days now darken and turbulence worsens.  I will instruct each of My special chosen ones in your plan that Our Father has laid out for you.  Work together, assist one another for in this way the body (of Christ) produces much good in a shorter period of time.
 
       Each of you will be assigned a different job or duty.  Do it to the best of your ability.  Pray always and feel My strength within you.  I will give you all the help, strength, knowledge and peace you will need to assist all My poor, searching, needy people and creatures.
 
       You are prepared; now I can multiply.  Many Angels are assigned to protect and assist you- - My people and My refuges.  Those who come to you, if possible, must also assist you and all others in need.  As in the days of Noah, I will protect not only My precious remnant children but also My dear little creatures.
 
       Put all your trust in Me for these days are very, very near.  Keep in close touch with one another sharing and using your God-given gifts.  Communities will rise through shelters and underground.  My shelters are chosen and ready.  Other sites are chosen and will be accessible when needed.  My Angel guardians are ready to lead you to safety. 

Today is the calm before the great storm or battle.  Keep your eyes on the sky.  Keep your ears open to Me.  Hear My words and obey.  You are My precious soldiers of these end times.  Holy Michael will lead you in the greatest battle ever to be fought and We will be victorious.
 
       Pray!  Never leave My side!  Follow Me!  Live on in love!  I am with you always so fear not!  Remember, life on earth is short.  The hereafter is eternal!  I have promised to protect you and to lead you.  Obey precisely all My words.  I love you.  You are Mine, My faithful remnant, and I WILL NOT LOSE ONE OF MINE!  Heaven awaits you My beloved, faithful, loving follower!"
 
 
Message #2549 to Little Mary - November 4, 2003
 
Satan is attacking the youth and all must join hands and pray for them"
 
MESSAGE #2549 from the Blessed Mother
 
November 4, 2003
 
My daughter,
 
Satan is attacking the youth and all must join hands and pray, pray for
them.  Many are on the wrong road and they are leading others astray.  Many are caught in the serpents tail and they need to be rescued before its too late. 

How I weep when I see so many youth living in sin.  I weep because many are not prepared to see their soul.  Many more cult groups are forming all around this world.
 

Today, I am asking parents to pray more for their children.  I am asking
each of you, including religious, to get down on your knees and pray more.
Only through prayer and by your example, is how evil will be destroyed.
You are each called to pray, so please, please pray more.
 

Satan's venom is poisonous and he is grasping those children who are
choosing darkness.  The youth need to understand that Satan exists and that he is their enemy.  The youth need to be taught how to armor themselves so they are protected on this earth. 

Many children today are not being taught at home.  Many children are not hearing the truth at the pulpit.  Many children are not being cared for in the proper way.
 

Dear chosen sons, please wake your flock.  Let the world know that evil
exists and that without prayer and the proper armor, many will sink deeper, deeper into the pit.  Many will fall further away from God if they dont repent and give their life to Him.
 

Dear chosen sons, your voice is needed, so do not deny the truth.  Speak
from your heart and share all that I am teaching you.  Tell your flock the
importance of praying the Rosary.  Tell your flock that evil can be
destroyed through family prayer. 

Tell your flock that much more evil will
enter this world if families dont join hands and pray, pray more.
 

Dont allow Satan to become even more powerful.  Use your hands and voice
for Christ.  Use the knowledge God has given you and be strong soldiers for Christ.  Come out of hiding and assist the youth.  Allow my Son to use you in these times.  Strive to be Jesus and imitate His ways.  Dont allow fear to rule your life.  Assist me, assist me now, for time is running out.  Assist my children by truly speaking the truth.
 

All must wake in this time period in which God has so graciously allowed.
All must do their part so more souls see Heaven instead of hell.  Hell is
not where I want my children to go, but I am warning you, Satan is grasping souls.  Satan is doing all that he can to turn my children away from God.
 

Now, please join hands and work together.  Join hands and pray and allow
the Holy Spirit to guide you each new day.  I will truly, truly assist you,so be willing to do what God is asking of you.  Be willing to be persecuted for sharing and living your faith.  The time is now, so respond with love,love in your hearts.  Amen.
 
MESSAGE #3064 from Jesus
 
March 4, 2008
     
My child,

I am Jesus. I am here to wake mankind so more repent in this time of mercy. My Heart is overflowing with love and mercy for each and every soul. The earth is trembling and many souls are not prepared. The hour is drawing near, yet many are refusing to wake from their slumber. Wake up and respond now to My Mother’s heavenly pleas. Time is short for saving souls.

Listen, listen to My Mother and pray more. Pray for Priests so they truly shepherd their flock. My Priests need prayer so they return to love and humility. Lack of love and pride is why the Gospel is not being spread. Lack of prayer is why so many souls are being misled.

Many preach the Gospel, yet they live in darkness. I pour tears of blood over My Church. Everyone must pray and do their part for the salvation of souls.

This is the time to listen and respond to My words of mercy. My mercy is great for those who repent and return to the Sacraments. Wake up and listen and respond to Heaven’s call.
