Medjugorje Day By Day May 20 - Testify with your lives
"Since its founding by Jesus Christ two thousand years ago, the Catholic Church's preeminent concern has been the salvation of souls. In that long span of twenty centuries, an uninterrupted stream of immeasurable graces have flowed from its Sacraments and sacramentals. The lions share of these graces can be attributed to the 'Two Solid Columns,' the Blessed Sacrament and the Holy Rosary" (The Eucharist and The Rosary: The Power to Change the World).
Mother Teresa
The poor are Christ Himself.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Jesus who reigned in heaven with His most holy humanity received from the womb of the Virgin, wanted his mother to be reunited to Him not only with her soul but also with her body and share fully in His glory. And that was right and the just. That body that was not as slave of the devil and sin for one instant was not to be as slave of corruption either.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
We can contradict contradictions by clinging to our crosses. -
"Crosses and contradictions are a part of life. We are to expect them from others simply because they are often as unregenerate as ourselves. Contradictions from others will hurt us less when we have first contradicted ourselves. The hand that is calloused will not pain as much as a soft hand, on catching a hard ball. Contradictions can even be assimilated and used for further taming our own errant impulses."
St. Faustina's diary <http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html> -
Today during Holy Mass, I was unwittingly absorbed in the infinite majesty of God. The whole immensity of God's love flooded my soul. At that particular moment, I became aware of how much God abases himself for my sake. He, the Lord of Lords-and what am I, miserable being that I am, that You would commune thus with me? The wonder that took hold of me after this special grace continued very vividly throughout the entire day. Taking advantage of the intimacy to which the Lord was admitting me, I interceded before Him for the whole world. At such moments I have the feeling that the whole world is depending on me. (870)
My Master, cause my heart never to expect help from anyone, but I will always strive to bring assistance, consolation, and all manner of relief to others. My heart is always open to the sufferings of others; and I will not close my heart to the sufferings of others, even though because of this I have been scornfully nicknamed "dump"; that is, [because] everyone dumps his pain into my heart. [To this] I answered that everyone has a place in my heart and I, in return, have a place in the Heart of Jesus. Taunts regarding the law of love will not narrow my heart. My soul is always sensitive on this point, and Jesus alone is the motive for my love of neighbor. (871)

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 20 - TESTIFY WITH YOUR LIVES
In May of 1991, Our Lady called us to live her messages as an example to others:
Dear children, to those who have heard my message of peace, I ask that you take it seriously and live it lovingly in your life. There are many who think they are doing a lot by simply talking about the messages, but are not actually living them. Dear children, I invite you to life, to change all the negativism in you to the positive.
Dear children, I am with you and I want to help each of you to live so as to testify with your lives to the Good News. I am here, dear children, to help you and to lead you to heaven; the joy of heaven can be lived even now on earth. (Monthly Message May 25, 1991).
Paul urges us as well to be examples of the Christian faith:
Show yourself in all respects a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, gravity, and sound speech that cannot be censured; then any opponent will be put to shame, having nothing evil to day of us (Ti 2:7-8).
Reflection:
Our readings today reflect an ancient truth of Christianity-that it is normally by example, not words, that the faith spreads. In this vein, the 19th Century English novelist Charles Kingsley once wrote:One good man - one man who does not put on his religion once a week with his Sunday suit, but wears it for his working dress, and lets the thought of God grow into him, and through and through him, till everything he says and does becomes religious-that man is worth a thousand sermons. He is a living gospel-he is the Image of God.
Application:
In her message today, the Madonna states that, "I want to help each of you to live so as to testify with your lives to the Good News." Ask Our Lady's help today in doing just that.
Medjugorje Day By Day May 19 - PUT GOD FIRST IN YOUR FAMILIES
"The Eucharist came from the Paradise of Virginity [Our Lady]" (St. Albert the Great).
Mother Teresa
Today it is fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately it is not fashionable to talk with them.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
After Jesus Christ's ascension to heaven, Mary longed continually with burning desire to be reunited with Him. To be without her divine Son was a very harsh exile. Those years of separation from Him were for her a most slow and painful martyrdom of love that consumed her slowly.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
We can't be perfect all the time!
"The good sometimes do wrong. Let us face it. And when they do wrong it is not the same as the evil who do wrong. Evil is an exception in the life of the good; it cuts across the long road of their life as a tangent. But with the evil, good is an exception. A master pianist may hit a wrong note, but everyone still knows him to be a good pianist. A beginner may hit a right note, but everyone knows that he is not a good player."
St. Faustina's diary <http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html> -
I am reliving these moments with Our Lady. With great longing, I am waiting for the Lord's coming. Great are my desires. I desire that all humankind come to know the Lord. I would like to prepare all nations for the coming of the Word Incarnate. O Jesus, make the fount of Your mercy gush forth more abundantly, for humankind is seriously ill and thus has more need than ever of Your compassion. You are a bottomless sea of mercy for us sinners; and the greater the misery, the more right we have to Your mercy. You are a fount which makes all creatures happy by Your infinite mercy. (793)
O inexhaustible spring of Divine Mercy, pour yourself out upon us! Your Goodness knows no limits. Confirm, O Lord, the power of Your mercy over the abyss of my misery, for You have no limit to Your mercies. Wonderful and matchless is Your mercy, astonishing the human and angelic mind. (819)

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 19 - PUT GOD FIRST IN YOUR FAMILIES
In December of 1991, the Blessed Mother spoke of love and the family:
Dear children, today in a special way I bring the infant Jesus to you, that he May bless you with peace and love. Dear children, do not forget that this is a grace which many people do not understand or accept.
Therefore, all of you who have said that you are mine and seek my help, give your entire self. First, be an example in your own families and give them your love. Since you say that Christmas is a family feast, then, dear children, put God first in your families; then he can give you peace and protect you not only from war, but also from Satan's attacks during peacetime.
When God is with you, you have everything. But when you do not want him, you are miserable and lost, for you do not know whose side you are on. And so, dear children, decide for God and then you will have everything. (Monthly Message December 25, 1991).
In Matthew's gospel, Jesus also spoke of the family.
Specifically, of marital fidelity and oneness:
He answered, "Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning `made them male and female,' and said, `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate" (Mt 19:4-6)
Reflection:
"Success in marriage," wrote B.R. Brickner, "is more than finding the right person: it is a matter of being the right person."
The sacrament of marriage received special treatment from the fathers of Vatican II; some of the thoughts expressed were quite beautiful, including the following:
Authentic married love is caught up into divine love, and is governed and enriched by Christ's redeeming love.
Such love, merging the human with the divine, leads the spouses to a free and mutual gift of themselves, a gift proving itself by gentle affection and by deed. Such love pervades the whole of their lives. Indeed, by its generous activity, it grows better and grows better and grows greater.
Sealed by mutual faithfulness and hallowed above all by Christ's sacrament, this love remains steadfastly true in body and in mind, in bright days or dark. (The Church Today, 48-49).Application:
Today, pray especially for married couples and, if you are married, for your spouse. This evening, offer a prayer together for God's continued blessings on your family.

ALL WILL NOT BE IN VAIN
I KNOW, MY DEAR CHILDREN, THAT YOU'RE DOING YOUR BEST,
AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE SO TIRED THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN REST.
THE CROSSES EACH DAY ARE NOW HARDER TO BEAR
ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE STILL UNITED IN PRAYER.
YOU ARE ASKING, DEAR CHILDREN, IF THIS WILL EVER END,
AND HOW MANY MORE CROSSES WILL GOD YET STILL SEND.
GOD'S AWARE, MY DEAR CHILDREN, OF YOUR MOUNTING FRUSTRATION;
THESE TRIALS YOU MUST PASS TO SURVIVE THE TRIBULATION.
MAN IS CHANGING THE LAWS THAT GOD ETCHED IN STONE,
AND ARE EVEN ATTEMPTING THEIR OWN IMAGE TO CLONE.
GOD CREATED ADAM AND THEN EVE FOR HIS MATE;
THIS UNION, GOD INTENDED, YOUR NEW LAWS DESECRATE.
THE SWORD THAT THE FATHER NOW HOLDS IN HIS HAND
IS STRIKING THE EARTH AND WILL SOON REACH YOUR LAND.
YOU WILL WITNESS THE PRICE THAT'S ABOUT TO BE PAID
FOR THE SINS OF MANKIND BY THE CHOICES THEY MADE.
IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE REMNANT, GOD THIS EARTH WOULD DESTROY,
BUT HE PROMISED TO THEM A NEW LAND FILLED WITH JOY.
THERE WILL BE NO MORE TEARS, NO MORE SORROW OR PAIN,
AND YOU'LL KNOW THAT YOUR CROSSES WERE NOT CARRIED IN VAIN.
"THY WILL BE DONE"

Note to be included:
Yesterday I went to Confession and prayed for all those with special needs
and intentions. Today after receiving Holy Communion, Jesus once again talks to
us regarding our need to repent as time of grace grows short.
Now Jesus seeks ways to command our attention. Let us pray that all will
respond to His call.

Jesus Reminds Us That The Time Of Grace Grows Short
We celebrated the 8:00 A.M. Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows where I
prayed for the special needs and intentions of all. After making an Act of
Contrition in preparation of receiving Holy Communion, I offered humble gifts to
Jesus and Mary.
After receiving the Body and Blood of Christ during the Sacrament of Holy
Communion, I knelt in silent commune with Jesus thanking Him for His many
blessings. Then I prayed, Speak Lord (if it be Your will), Your servant listens.
And I prayed Lord, Let my mind not see anything unless it come from You, and let
my hear not hear any words other than those from Your heart.
With my heart and my mind focused only on Jesus, I knelt with my two hands
covering my face and I saw a dark huge tornado and its Eye was very deep. Then
Jesus responded to my prayer saying with this message for all of His children;
As the world begins to experience more severe tornados, take note that now they
will be felt in geographic areas where previously there has been little exposure
to tornados. This is because I want My children to look to the heavens and know
that I AM the only one true God.
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and
sisters. Amen.
