Medjugorje Day By Day May 05 -The great love God has for you

May Mary be the reason of your existence and guide you to the safe harbor of eternal salvation. May she be your gentle model and your source of inspiration in the virtue of humility.

"The will that always insists on having its own way, begins to hate its own way. Those who live only for self begins to hate self. self is too narrow, confining and dark a sanctuary for happy adoration."

You can't have it both ways. Either you're pro-life or not. Pro-choice is not an alternative!

One day, just as I had awakened, when I was putting myself in the presence of God, I was suddenly overwhelmed by despair. Complete darkness in the soul. I fought as best I could till noon. In the afternoon, truly deadly fears began to seize me; my physical strength began to leave me. I went quickly to my cell, fell on my knees before the Crucifix and began to cry out for mercy. But Jesus did not hear my cries. I felt my physical strength leave me completely. I fell to the ground, despair flooding my whole soul. I suffered terrible tortures in no way different from the torments of hell. I was in this state for three quarters of an hour. I wanted to go and see the Directress, but was too weak, I wanted to shout but I had no voice. Fortunately, one of the sisters [another novice, Sister Placida Putyra] came into my cell. Finding me in such a strange condition, she immediately told the Directress about it. Mother came at once. As soon as she entered the cell she said, "In the name of holy obedience get up from the ground." Immediately some force raised me up from the ground and I stood up, close to the dear Mother Directress. With kindly words she began to explain to me that this was a trial sent to me by God, saying, "Have great confidence; God is always our Father, even when He sends us trials. " (24a)

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.

The Madonna speaks of love today:

Dear children, today I call you to a complete surrender to God. You are not conscious, dear children, of the great love God has for you. This is why he has allowed me to be with you, to teach and help you to find the way to peace. But you cannot find it if you do not pray.

Therefore, dear children, forsake everything and consecrate your time to God, for then he will bestow gifts upon you and bless you.

Little children, do not forget that your life is fleeting like a spring flower, which today is wondrously beautiful, but tomorrow has vanished. Therefore, pray in such away that your prayer, as well as your surrender to God, maybe be come like a road sign. In this way your witness will not only have value for yourself, but also for others and for all eternity [MM 3-25-88].

In his great love for us, God will deny us nothing which is good:

Ask, and it will be given you, search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be open for you. For everyone who asks, receives, and everyone who searches, finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if the child asks for a fish, would you give a snake? If you then, who are sinful, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask him! [Matthew 7:7- 11].

The heart of God overflows with a kindness and generosity beyond our understanding, which is the core of Our Lady's message today: "You dear children, are not conscious of the great love God has for you." Because of this, he can deny us nothing that is good, if we but seek it in prayer: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find."

Like a father giving bread to his son, God's power and gifts are available to all his children. The key is prayer; as the Gospa says, "consecrate your time to God, and then he will bestow gifts upon you and bless you."

Today, offer the rosary for the intention that God provide = for all your needs, and that you may more deeply understand his love.

Medjugorje Day By Day May 04 - Follow the way of holiness

"We who nourish ourselves with the Body and Blood of the crucified and risen Lord, cannot keep this 'gift' to ourselves; on the contrary we must share it.
Passionate love for Christ leads to courageous proclamation of Christ; proclamation which, with martyrdom, becomes a supreme offering of love for God and for mankind. The Eucharist leads us to be generous evangelizers, actively committed to building a more just and fraternal world" (Pope John Paul II, February 22, 2005).

May Mary be the star which shines on your path, and May she show you the safe way to reach the Heavenly Father. May she be like an anchor to which you must be more closely attached in time of trial.

"The inner workings of the mind are quite different in the good doing wrong and the evil doing evil. In the latter, a hardening process sets in. Conscience first shouts; then, after repeated choking it becomes so weak it can only whisper; finally, its voice is stifled altogether. Since such people willed to have no moral law except of their own making, God leaves them alone. It is terrible for the soul when God pursues it and drives it to perfection; but it is more terrible still when He leaves the soul to its own conceits."

At a certain point, there came to me the very powerful impression that I am rejected by God. This terrible thought pierced my soul right through; in the midst of the suffering my soul began to experience the agony of death. I wanted to die but could not. The thought came to me: Of what use is it to strive for virtues; why mortify oneself when all this is disagreeable to God? When I made this known to the Directress of Novices, I received this reply, "Know, dear Sister, that God has chosen you for great sanctity. This is a sign that God wants to have you very close to Himself in Heaven. Have great trust in the Lord Jesus."

That dreadful thought of being rejected by God is the actual torture suffered by the damned. I fled to Jesus' Wounds and repeated the words of trust, but these words became for me an even greater torture. I went before the Blessed Sacrament, and I began to speak to Jesus: "Jesus, You said that a mother would sooner forget her infant than God His creature, and that 'even if she would forget her infant, I, God, will never forget My creature.' O Jesus, do You hear how my soul is moaning? Deign to hear the painful whimpers of Your child. I trust in You, O God, because heaven and earth will pass, but Your word will last forever." Still I found not a moment of relief. (23b)

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.

In this monthly message, the Gospa urges us to holiness:

"Dear Children, I beseech you to follow the way of holiness from this day onward. I love you and therefore I wish you to be holy. Do not let Satan block you on this path.

Dear children, pray and accept all that God is offering you on a way which is bitter. But at the same time, God will reveal every sweetness to those who travel this path; he will gladly answer whenever you call on him. Do not attach importance to petty things, but long for heaven." (Monthly Message July 25, 1987).

Paul echoes this call to holiness:

Pursue peace with everyone, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord (Heb 12:14).

Both Paul and Our Lady call us to holiness today, to become more and more the reflection of Christ.

Referring to this transformation, the philosopher Blais Pascal wrote, "The serene, silent beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world, next to the might of God."

The Blessed Mother provides the means to holiness in her message today: prayer, acceptance of God's grace, refusing to give importance to the petty things in life, and last, keeping the goal of heaven in sight. She urges us on in our journey, promising that, "God will reveal every sweetness to those who travel this path; and he will gladly answer whenever you call on him."

Today, try to put into practice this advice from Cardinal Manning: "Holiness consists not in doing uncommon things, but in doing all common things with an uncommon fervor".

Message to J.N.S.R. March 3, 2008

Stay awake and pray, the Hour is near.

March 3, 2008

JNSR: I continue so that everyone understands:

On Friday July 7th, 1978 at 2 p.m., Christ appears to Madeleine in Dozule, in the chapel of St. Joseph School:

"It is here that you will see the Holy City, the New Jerusalem. And behold will appear God's Dwelling among you".

In the same chapel, on Friday October 6th, 1978, JESUS promises this to Madeleine:

"But when this Cross is erected, there you will see Me, for at that moment, I will disclose to the Church, the Mysteries inscribed in the Book of Life that has just opened. Tell the Bishop what you have just seen and heard".

The Cross requested by JESUS has not yet been elevated.

The Holy Bible was not wrong: JESUS on that day will set His Feet on the Mount of Olives

in Jerusalem (Zechariah 13, 8).

And Madeleine could not go wrong: "It is here that you will see the Holy City, the New Jerusalem". (July 7th,1978).

The New Jerusalem, the New and Holy Church is journeying towards the Kingdom of God, it is the Spiritual Renewal appearing so as to reunite all the Father's children.

Christ JESUS is the High Priest of our entire Community. In order to penetrate the Secrets from Above, we must watch the Heavenly Jerusalem come towards us:

"Come you whom My Father has blessed, receive in heritage the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world! (Matthew 25, 34).

"Beloved, as of now, we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that at this manifestation, we will be like Him because we will see Him as He is. Whoever keeps this hope in himself, makes himself Pure as The One who is Pure". (1 John 3, 2-3).

(The One: JESUS).

JESUS tells me on Dec. 26, 2006: "From Heaven, you will soon see appearing,

He who is the Master of all things.

He is returning in all His Glory.

Seeing Him, you will see yourself as in a mirror,

for he who sees Me, will be like Me.

Here is the account of what I lived and what JESUS wants me to tell you:

" I found myself in San Damiano, a holy site where the Most Holy Virgin very often appeared. It was December 8th, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Many graces I have obtained in "that little Garden of Paradise", as our Sweet Mother of Roses calls it, and where She leaves many visible signs for the pilgrims.

After putting down my bouquet of flowers in front of the Holy Virgin, I bought three pink roses to bring back home to decorate the oratory on the dresser in my bedroom facing my bed.

My son Richard, was lying on my bed. At the foot of the bed was my grand-daughter Brigitte, and I sat next to her. I had put in a vase the three roses in front of the Madonna, a small reproduction of the beautiful statue in San Damiano.

Richard asked me to tell all about the day I had spent on that pilgrimage, with so many people and where each one could tell of the things that happened in that blessed place where they came each month.

I was looking down when suddenly, my son cried out in surprise. " Oh, what is happening to you"? "I saw all the petals of those flowers shoot up in the air as if ejected by a jet of water and forming a crown for the Holy Virgin, then falling down slowly, very slowly all around Her as well as the framed image of the Merciful JESUS at Her feet. The petals covered both JESUS and MARY and a strong perfume of roses filled the whole room".

Brigitte and I were amazed at Richard telling us all this, in spite of his usual skepticism: and besides, the three roses were absolutely untouched in their vase, remaining totally fresh. We had seen nothing out of the ordinary. So I carried on telling about my pilgrimage, and suddenly Brigitte cried out even louder than Richard: "I saw! I saw, it's impossible!" And it was the same story, with the same excitement: "Mamie, the petals all shot up in the air and fell back down like a parachute, slowly, ever so slowly. It was all pink at the feet of the statue and in front of JESUS".

But personally, I only saw the untouched roses in their vase. My children were now saying to each other: "We saw the same thing!" And it was then that I saw this marvelous sight happening for me! I can tell about it like the two children, but I was so amazed by that vision and the sweet fragrance that I started weeping.

So many times before, my Sweet Mother in Heaven mentioned San Damiano to me, so many times She showed me Her Presence with flowers and fragrance! I am always moved to tears. THANK YOU Sweet Mother of Heaven. THANK YOU my Sweet JESUS. What a beautiful memory!

Also JESUS who reminded me of the many miracles I experienced in San Damiano, is asking me to tell you that it will be in this way and in Truth that we will all see and live, simultaneously, the Coming of Christ in Glory, with the Holy Mother of God, His Holy Angels and the entire Family of Heaven, and all His Elect on Earth, reunited wherever they are, will also be taken up to Him, like the petals of those roses shooting up in the air and coming back down slowly, slowly, with JESUS, MARY and all the Heaven of Glory.

That Holy and Marvelous Day

of the Coming of JESUS in Glory.

Your Messenger, JNSR,

with the Voice that continually guides me,

that of JESUS of Nazareth Saviour and Redeemer.

Monthly message as given to Anne, a lay apostle.

On the first of every month, Our Lord gives Anne a new message about His
call to service.

May 1, 2008

Jesus

Dear apostles, My heart is bursting with love for each one of you. Indeed,
I cannot contain the love that I possess for all of mankind. Many reject My
love. They are not open to accepting love directly from My heart. You, My
beloved apostles serving in this time, do accept the love of the Saviour.
You rejoice in My love. You allow My love to transform you into carriers of
heaven's healing plan for humanity. Because so many reject Me, I give in a
ridiculously lavish way to those willing to accept Me.

Many of God's
children, living in the sadness of sin, will not admit that God could offer
them anything of value. They are closed to My love for them and they are
closed to My plan for them. But these people will, nevertheless, accept
kindness from you, God?s apostles. They will accept good example from you,
God's apostles. Ultimately, if My plan is successful, they will accept love
from you. The love they find in your heart will belong to Me because I
placed it there. When the people around you are loved by you, they
experience Me. This works because you are connected to Me each day through
your apostolic pledge and through your apostolic service.

I have told you
in the past that you bring light to a dark world. I want you to know, dear
loyal apostles, that the light you bring is changing the world. We, those
of us in heaven, see the light growing. Some of you begin unsteadily. You
are not certain that you are called. My beloved one, I am speaking to you
now. Listen to Me. You are called. You belong in this family. I need your
help. I do not ever want to be apart from you again. It hurts Me to be
apart from you and it hurts you to be apart from Me. Only I love you
perfectly. If you remain close to Me, I can continue to love you in such in
a way that you will value yourself as heaven values you. You are not
perfect. It is true. I accept this about you. If you believed you were
perfect, My beloved friend, you would be no good to Me. Far better for
every one of My goals that you believe you are flawed. Believe in My
perfection and be willing, and together we will bring an unstoppable flow
of love into the world. I rejoice in your love for Me, dear apostle. I want
you to rejoice in My love for you. If you do this, you will show others an
accurate example of the peace that comes from resting in the Saviour.
Rejoice in your heart. I am there and I love you.

message.
