Medjugorje Day By Day May 23 - THE HOUR OF SATAN

St. Dominic, Priest & Preacher, Founder of Dominicans (1170-1221), Feast,
Aug. 8 It was to St. Dominic that Our Lady gave the Holy Rosary which has become,
next to Mass and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the most powerful prayer in
the Church.

"The good recover peace of soul; the evil have to be satisfied with peace of mind. The explanation of this phenomenon is that the good have another principle of action in them than the evil. The evil are guided solely by the thought either of the satisfaction of the flesh or the spirit and that this world is all. But the good have another principle in them, entirely above nature, which is called grace, and by it they are united to God. This principle of grace is always rising up against their sin and generally triumphs over it with the slightest cooperation of the will."

Jesus: My daughter, do you think you have written enough about My mercy? What you have written is but a drop compared to the ocean. I am Love and Mercy itself. There is no misery that could be a match for My mercy, neither will misery exhaust it, because as it is being granted-it increases. The soul that trusts in My mercy is most fortunate, because I myself take care of it. (1273)

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.

Our Lady gives us a somber message today:

The hour has come when the demon is authorized to act with all his force and power. The present hour is the hour of Satan (First Years 84-85).

As we see in scripture, evil often attacks those dearest to the Lord:

When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he was infuriated, and he sent [for] and killed all the children in and around Bethlehem who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had learned from the wise men (Mt 2:16).

"This is the hour of Satan," Our Lady warns us. Certainly he has held sway over the last century, which can claim two devastating world wars, the Nazi holocaust, the agonizing rise and spread of Communism, and the wars in Korea, Asia, and the Middle East, to mention only several. It has been the bloodiest century of mankind's history, despite its scientific and material progress.

The hour of Satan also speaks of his relentless attacks on the individual, including the explosion of addictive diseases, thoughtless materialism, an unprecedented crime rate, AIDS, a skyrocketing divorce rate, and an array of other tragedies.

The Blessed Mother wants us to know what we are battling, that Satan attacks the weakest link in both society and the individual, and that his ultimate goal is simply destruction. But she also gives us the weapons to fight the Evil One: conversion, faith, and prayer, the sacraments, and the rosary. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

The power of Satan has peaked. Since our chief weapon in his demise is prayer, let us add this to our daily prayer intentions, beginning today.

FEAST DAYS OF THE THREE HEARTS -MAY 29, 30, 31 MAY

FEAST DAYS OF THE THREE HEARTS -MAY 29, 30, 31


Remember the feast days of the Sacred Heart of God the Father onThursday, May
29th; the Sacred Heart of Jesus on Friday, May 30th, and the Immaculate Heart of
Mary on Saturday, May 31st. Below are the instructions and explanations given
by God the Father, Jesus and Mary through Chris Courtis for observing the three
days.



FEASTS OF THE THREE HEARTS

May 29, 30, 31

On April 13, 2002, in a message to the world through Chris Courtis, God the
Father asked that devotion to His Sacred Heart be spread and that His feast day
be established the Thursday before the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
(Friday) and the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Saturday). These are all moveable
feasts and this year they fall on May 29, 30, 31.

The feasts of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary are
well known, and now with the addition of the feast of the Sacred Heart of God
the Father in 2002, they are known as the Feasts of the Three Sacred Hearts.

According to Our Lady, ?It is imperative that men realize that the feasts of
these Three Sacred Hearts are not just to receive graces, but also to make
reparation against the sins committed against Our Three Hearts. These are holy
days, holy days in June when all Three Hearts are united as One.? (May 25, 2002
through Chris Courtis)


Following is

1) The original message from God the Father,

2) A message from Jesus explaining consecration to the Sacred Heart of the
Father, and

3) Our Lady?s instructions for observing the three feast days.



Message from GOD THE FATHER

To THE WORLD

April 13, 2002 through Chris Courtis, a visionary in Maryland, U.S.A.

(I see St. Michael the Archangel. He?s blowing the trumpet. He says, ?All
kneel down before Our Lord, and God and Creator? I see God the Father! I see
Him! I see the Holy Spirit, too. He?s coming to rest on a cloud. By His left
arm I see Jesus. I see His mother holding Jesus in her arms. I see St. Joseph
by the right hand of Jesus. Jesus is a child. He?s nine months old. I see
angels, the little faces that Mary steps on, I see them. I see angels dressed
in blue robes, in white robes. I see St. Michael on the right, St. Gabriel on
the left. I see in the background three people. It?s St. Therese of the Child
Jesus. I see St. Thomas More, but I should point out he doesn?t look like that
in the picture. His nose isn?t big either. I see St. Anna, too, dressed all in
white. Our Lady says that I should look up to see God the Father. God the
Father, there He is. I see His Sacred Heart. He says,)


My dear ones,

Today I come among you to establish devotion to My Sacred Heart. On this
anniversary day and on every anniversary day up until the date that I choose, I
shall appear. Today my message is this: I wish that all people throughout the
world have a devotion to My Sacred Heart. (He?s holding out His Heart.) I wish
My Sacred Heart to be spread and to be put beside the Sacred Heart of My Son,
Jesus, and before the Immaculate Heart of your mother, Mary.

My children, this June shall begin the special day, My feast day of My Fatherly
Sacred Heart. The day established by My Church for the Sacred Heart of My Son,
Jesus, the day before that, is My feast day of My Sacred Heart.

I did not just come to reveal that date to you, but to tell you that I wish for
everyone to know the eight promises that I shall give for those who have a
devotion to My Sacred Heart.


1. I shall establish peace within all families and the father shall be the head
of that household.

2. I will bring peace to a nation who so consecrates themselves to My Sacred
Heart, or in

your case, state.

3. I shall also protect these children from war, poverty and hunger. Plus, I
shall establish peace

within that community who has a devotion to My Sacred Heart.

4. I shall give to you My Divine and Most Holy Will. The people who
consecrate themselves

to the Sacred Heart of Me, their Father, shall learn to live and pray in
The Divine Will. This

gift I can give to anyone I choose and I freely choose to dispose this gift
upon you. When you

consecrate yourselves to My Sacred Heart, you shall live, know, and do My
Will.

5. Those who consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart shall also be consecrated
to the Sacred

Heart of Jesus and to Mary, your most holy mother. They shall not be My
people, but they

shall be My children, sons and daughters of God most high. As Jesus is My
Beloved Son in

whom I am well pleased, and as Mary is My beloved daughter, so shall you
all be sons and

daughters of God, a beloved royal family, consecrated to My Most Sacred
Heart.

6. (He?s looking over everyone.) I shall establish within each person the
grace of loving Me,

their Father, with all their heart, with all their soul, and with all their
mind. If anyone comes

to Me and consecrates his soul and his life to My Sacred Heart, I shall fill him
with the burning desire of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit shall imprison
his heart with fire and it shall be set on fire for love of Me and their mother
Mary, and Jesus, My Son. I shall do this to every heart that consecrates
themselves to me, the Sacred Heart of the Father.

7. I will answer your prayers powerfully and unexpectedly. But know this, you
shall gain the gift of the Kingdom of the Divine Will. Therefore, if it is not
in The Kingdom of the Divine Will for you to ask of this, then it shall not be
given unto you. If you are led by the Spirit and with the Divine Will, I will
answer your prayers.

8. I will heal the hearts of My children. I see your pain. I see your
sufferings. And if I in all My glory can cry in seeing you suffer, then know
that I rejoice in healing men?s hearts. Come to Me, My children who suffer and
who cry, and I shall heal your heart and make it like unto My Heart, rich in
love and mercy and free from wounds and injuries. Just a touch of the Golden
Love from My Heart is enough to heal your hearts of pain forever. (# 8 was added
by God the Father out of His love for humanity on April 14, 2002 in a private
apparition to Chris.)



This is what I have come to say today. The eight promises I shall give to all
nations, all kindred and tongues and people who accept My Heart as the Sacred
Heart of the Father.



In 1917 your Blessed Mother has asked you for devotion to her Immaculate Heart
to stop World War II. Now, before the coming chastisements and before a greater
war that may be looming in the future, I come to ask for this devotion to not
only be spread, but practiced in all religious institutions and homes throughout
the world. I tell you in truth. Those who love God their Father would humble
themselves before My Son, and those who seek to not only have a devotion to Me,
but to serve Me should love and serve their mother. This is My desire and My
wish. I bless you today with the sign of the Most Holy Trinity, which is the
cross and I extend to you as a blessing My Most Fatherly, Sacred, Loving Heart.
(He?s blessing us with the Sign of the Cross. He says that He will come every
year on this anniversary to speak about this devotion and He also says Mary
shall now give me a private message.)



LESSON 11 ? Part 1


From JESUS, LORD AND LOVER OF THE DIVINE WILL

April 23, 2001 at 3 pm in a private apparition to Chris Courtis.


My dear ones,

Today I stand at the right hand of the Father with majesty and grace, and it is
in that majesty and grace that I rule over everything in this world and in the
next. My lesson today is on a sure way of living in and of doing My Most Holy
Will, and that is by abiding in God My Father's Most Sacred Heart. When you
abide in love, in My Father's Most Sacred Heart, you are attached to one single
Will alone and that is the Will of the Father who has sent Me. To be one in
love in My Father's Heart also means to be one in His Will. Make no mistake
about this, My little ones, God My Father's Heart does exist. It was only
through God's Most Loving Heart, love beating with His Most Holy Will, that
everything did come into being.



And it was at the Immaculate Conception of My Mother that God My Father did
enclose half of His heart to My mother Mary. And it was from her heart that My
Body and Heart were formed.

That is why the Three Hearts, though, separate are joined together as One, One
in love, and One in Will. Everything that God My Father does in His Sheer Will
is done all in love.



But, My little ones, you must ask yourselves how can I be united to the Father's
Sacred Heart?



First, you must love God the Father with all your heart and ask Him to grace you
with love so that you may grow in God's love.



Second, you must love Him back. God the Father, just like Me His Son, waits for
you to be affectionate with Us. Be affectionate with Us, tell God the Father
that you love Him and that you wish to do His Will and thus live in It, for you
cannot hope to live in Our Most Holy Will when you can't even do what He asks of
you. I say to you this, you cannot be united to living in God's Most Holy Will
without being united to His Most Sacred Heart.



The last and final thing you must do is consciously consecrate your heart to the
Sacred Heart of the Father. Pray simply and ask Him thus ;

Our Father who resides in Heaven, I approach your throne and ask that You give
to me the grace of abiding within your Most Sacred Heart. I promise to love
Thee and to adore Thee with all my heart and soul. O Mighty Father, love me and
let me love you so that I may also be one in Your Most Holy Will. You, O God,
are my Creator and my Father of

Mercy and Love, and it is in Thee that I do trust that Thy love becomes my own,
and that Thy Will becomes my will, and that I may live and do Thy Will, not just
in this world, but in the next. O Most Merciful and Loving Heart of the Father,
I love and trust in Thee through Your Son Jesus Christ. Ahmen or Amen,
whichever one you prefer.



I love you all my little ones and I bless you with my peace. Peace be with you
all.

Message from MARY, MOTHER AND QUEEN OF THE DIVINE WILL

To Jesus and Mary?s Prayer Group

Original Date - May 25, 2002 through Chris Courtis



Praised be Jesus!

My dear little children, I ask you this very day to be united to the Three
Hearts ? to the Sacred Heart of God the Father, to the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
and to my Most Immaculate Heart. May 29, 2008 is the feast day of God the
Father?s Sacred Heart. I call you to pray, to prepare yourselves for these
three holy feast days.



On Thursday, May 29, 2008:

If you can, go to Confession that week or on Thursday, and receive the Blessed
Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. And I invite you to pray one
rosary and one chaplet (either God the Father Chaplet or the Divine Mercy
Chaplet) in reparation for your sins and for others. (This chaplet is in
addition to your regular daily rosary and chaplet.) Make reparation and console
the heart of your God, your Father, who loves you.
Pray also thus on this day,
? Oh God the Father, I consecrate myself to You in the oneness of Your Holy
and

Divine Will. I pray an act of reparation for the conversion of sinners
and for healing

of our souls and Your Heart. I pray this rosary and chaplet in penance
for my own

sins and for those of others. Amen.?



On Friday, May 30, 2008:

Again go to Mass, receive Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
Recite again, one chaplet, one rosary, in reparation for the sins committed
against Jesus? Sacred Heart
Pray thus:
?My Lord Jesus, I consecrate myself to Your Most Sacred Heart.

I consecrate my heart, my soul, and my body to Your Most Sacred

Heart, and I pray that You will help me to do and make reparation

and penance for my own sins and those of others. I offer you this

chaplet and rosary in reparation and in penance for my own sins and

for the conversion of all sinners. Amen?



On Saturday, May 31, 2008:

Go to church and receive Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
Pray one rosary and one chaplet, (may pray the Mother of Mercy Chaplet)
And pray thus again:
?Oh Mary, my Mother, my Most Holy and Blessed Mother, I come before you to make
reparation for the sins committed against your Immaculate Heart, and I offer up
to you this sacrifice of this rosary and this chaplet for the conversion of
sinners and in penance for my own sins and those of others, to take the wounds
and to heal your wounds, and to take the crown of thorns away from your heart
and to heal your wounds forever more. Amen?

It is imperative that men realize that the feasts of these Three Sacred Hearts
are not just to receive graces, but also to make reparation against the sins
committed against Our Three Hearts.

These are holy days, holy days in June when all Three Hearts are united as One.



I promise you little children, if you pray and do reparation and penance to
console Our Hearts and heal Our Hearts, Our Hearts will heal and We will in turn
heal yours.



Do not underestimate the importance of this message that I give to you. It is
imperative that men amend their ways and return to God and make atonement for
their sins that grievously offend my Heart, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the
Sacred Heart of God Our Father. He will touch you with the touch of His golden
love and heal your hearts, but He calls you to do the same for His, My Son?s,
and my Immaculate Sorrowful Heart.

Feast of the Sacred Heart - May 30, 2008


FIRST DAY - COME TO ME

Scripture Reading [Mt. 11:20-30]
"Come to Me, all who are weary and find life burdensome, and I will refresh you.
Take My yoke upon your shoulders and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble
of Heart. Your souls will find rest, for My yoke is easy and My burden light."

Prayer
With open arms, O Lord, You continue to embrace the universe. I know I am a
small part of that universe. Yet in Your eyes I am also a very important part.
Lord, it is by my surrendering to You, You are able to bring me closer to Your
Heart - the source of all love, compassion and kindness.

SECOND DAY - LET THE CHILDREN COME

Scripture Reading [Lk. 18:15-17]
"They brought children to be touched by Him. When the disciples saw this, they
scolded them. But Jesus said: 'Let the children come to Me. Do not discourage
them. The Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Trust Me when I tell you that
whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God as a child will not enter it.'"

Prayer
O Lord, we are orphans - lost and alone. But with You we are saved. As I come to
You today, Lord, let me approach You as a child - enthused by Your love of life,
in need of guidance and support. Jesus, protect the children of the world. Give
me the grace to be an example of Your love to them.

Personal Meditation

THIRD DAY - DO NOT BE AFRAID

Scripture Reading [Mk. 5:36-47]
"Jesus said to the synagogue officials: 'Do not be afraid, just have faith'
...then he entered the room where the dead child was. He took the child by the
hand and said: 'Little girl, I say to you, arise!' The girl arose immediately
and they all were utterly astounded."

Prayer
Lord, allow Your healing hand to heal me. Touch my soul with Your compassion for
others. Touch my heart with Your courage and infinite love for all. Touch my
mind with Your wisdom, that my mouth may always proclaim Your praise. Bring me
health in body and spirit that I may serve You with all my strength.

Scripture Reading [Jn. 10:10-14]
"I came that they may have life and have it to the full. I am the Good Shepherd:
the Good Shepherd lays down His life for His sheep... I know My sheep and My
sheep know Me."

Prayer
Lord, it is written that You care especially for the lost sheep in this world.
Today I place into Your hands someone I care about deeply (mention a particular
person...). To be lost is a terrible feeling, to be unknown and unsure is to
live in fear. With You we have nothing to fear. Let this day, Lord, be another
step closer to Your heart for all of us.

he shall live forever: the bread I will give is My flesh, for the life of the
world."

O Lord, Your generosity knows no limits! Your burning desire to be one with us
knows no bounds! You gave of Yourself in Bethlehem, in Galilee, at Calvary. In
the gift of the Eucharist, You continue to give of Yourself day in and day out.
Today I ask You, Lord, to forgive my selfishness, my pettiness, my sins. Help me
live like You lived - a life lived for others, filled with the fullness of
grace.

here and stay awake with Me.' He advanced a little and fell prostrate in prayer.
'My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass Me by. Still, Your will be
done, not mine."

Prayer
O Lord, You were no stranger to sorrow, to the loss of family and dear friends.
You even knew the fear of death. Why, Lord, did you face such trials? Was it so
You could understand me in my times of trial? Lord, I offer You my suffering
today; do with it as You will, for it is a powerful gift. It is Yours, Lord; let
it be my way of saying "I love You."

Personal Meditation

SEVENTH DAY - THEY CAME TO JESUS

Scripture Reading [Jn. 19:33-34]
"When they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break
His legs. One of the soldiers pierced His side with a lance, and immediately
blood and water flowed out."

Prayer
Lord, it is only because of the foolishness of Your cross that life makes sense.
You abandoned Your own life to teach me what really matters. How I strive after
foolish things and use people rather than love people. You died the shameful
death on the cross to teach us the joyful lesson in life. Today, Lord, give me
the courage to love what is important and to forsake all that is self-serving
and deceitful.

"Jesus came and stood before the disciples. 'Peace be with you,' He said; then
to Thomas: 'Take your finger and examine My hands. Put your hand into My side.
Do not persist in your unbelief, but believe!' Thomas responded: 'My Lord and My
God.'"

Prayer
Lord, if only we believed fully in You. Our former Holy Father's motto was 'I am
all Yours.' Help me believe that You are every answer to every problem, that You
are everywhere to guide, strengthen, encourage and lead. Yes, I believe in You,
but my faith is often weak. In times of trial I doubt You and in times of joy I
forget You. In the patience of Your Heart, Lord, continue to reveal Yourself to
me everywhere.

Personal Meditation
Pause for Personal Meditation...
Our Father...
Hail Mary...

NINTH DAY - HE SHALL DWELL WITH THEM

Scripture Reading [Rev. 21:1-4]
"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth... This is God's dwelling among people.
He shall dwell with them and they shall be His people and He shall be their God
who is always with them. He shall wipe every tear from their eyes, and there
shall be no more death or mourning, crying or pain, for the former world has
passed away."

Prayer
O Lord, how often I wonder where life will lead. Where am I going? How will it
end? Life ends where life began - with You, Lord. You said of Yourself: "I am
the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end." I am Yours, Lord -
yesterday, today and forever. I am Yours. Lord, forgive my past, bring light and
peace to my present, and prepare me with a generous heart for the future. I know
You will be there for me, My Lord and My God.
