"Ah!  If we had faith!  If we were penetrated by the thought that at this moment Our Lord is on the altar!  We would be motionless, we would forget that we have bodies
 . . . .  We have so much to ask for the Church, for sinners, for the Society, for our families, for the children entrusted to us, for  ourselves" (St. Madeleine Sophie Barat).

Mother Teresa 

We are all capable of good and evil. We are not born bad: everybody has something good inside. Some hide it, some neglect it, but it is there. God created us to love and to be loved, so it is our test from God to choose one path or another.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Jesus you already come into my soul. With what food must I feed You? With love! But my love is false, Jesus I love You very much, make up for my love (AD,36).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The sign of character is in the little things

"Faithfulness in great things is not uncommon; faithfulness in little things is rare but most indicative of true character."

St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -

Thank You, O God, for all the graces
Which unceasingly You lavish upon me,
Graces which enlighten me with the brilliance of the sun,
For by them You show me the sure way.

Thank You, O Lord, for creating me,
For calling me into being from nothingness,
For imprinting Your divinity on my soul,
The work of sheer merciful love.

Thank You, O God, for Holy Baptism
Which engrafted me into Your family,
A gift great beyond all thought or expression
Which transforms my soul.

Thank You, O Lord, for Holy Confession,
For that inexhaustible spring of great mercy,
For that inconceivable fountain of graces
In which sin-tainted souls become purified.

Thank You, O Jesus, for Holy Communion
In which You give us Yourself.
I feel Your Heart beating within my breast
As You cause Your divine life to unfold within me.

Thank You, O Holy Spirit, for the Sacrament of Confirmation,
Which dubs me Your knight
And gives strength to my soul at each moment,
Protecting me from evil.       (1286a)

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.

JUNE 3 - READ THE BIBLE

Today the Blessed Mother speaks of sacred scripture:

Dear children, today I ask you to read the Bible in your homes every day. Put it in a visible place where it will always remind you to read it and pray it (Weekly Message October 18, 1984).

St. Paul also speaks of the value of scripture:

All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work (2Tm 3:16-17).

Reflection:

A record price of two million dollars was paid recently for a copy of the Latin gospels, dated 997. The book, originally printed in Germany, is 9 x 6½ inches long and consists of 168 parchments pages illustrated with colorful scenes from scripture.

Those who place such value on works of art could gain far richer treasure if they were to become as motivated to study the scriptures as were the monks who adorned them so beautifully. The original artists devoted painstaking effort to the long and arduous task of copying the gospels by hand and embellishing the margins. They were sparked by the ardent desire to glorify God and to remind their fellow men and women of the lasting beauty of his inspired word.

Application:

Today let us simply take Our Lady's advice to, "read the Bible every day in your homes, and let it be in a visible place so as to always encourage you to read it and pray."

Medjugorje Day By Day June 02 - PRAY AND FAST

Holy Folly!

For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18

Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.  Still, you can't get there from here apart from the cross. 

A whole world system has been erected in order to avoid that simple fact and it has looked for salvation in a thousand forms, all predicated on building heaven on earth by being rich enough, smart enough, socialist enough, white enough, black enough, German enough, religious enough, etc.  The goal has always been the same: don't lose.  Be a winner.  Crosses are for suckers and saps and losers. 

And so, God made this ultimately foolish thing the ultimate wisdom.  He made the ultimate sign of weakness the ultimate sign of strength.

"The bread and wine, by the action of the Holy Spirit, really become the body and blood of Christ, who gives himself to be man's nourishment in his journey on earth."  "The same logic of love precedes the Incarnation of the Word in the womb of Mary and his making himself present in the Eucharist. It is `agape,' charity, love in the most beautiful and pure sense" (From Pope John Paul II's, April 8, 2004 homily).

Mother Teresa -

God is everywhere and in everything and without Him we cannot exist.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Let us look with profound gratitude at that sublime mystery which attracted the Heart of Jesus to His creature with such force; let us look at the great condescension with which He put on our own flesh to live the miserable life of this earth in our midst; let us muster up all the forces of our intellect to consider worthily the tenacious fervour and hardship of His apostolate, to recall the horror of His passion and martyrdom and to adore His Blood… royally offered to the last drop for the redemption of mankind; then with humble faith and the same ardent love with which He surrounds and pursues our soul, let us bow our impure foreheads at His feet (GF,170).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

The sign of character is in the little things

"Faithfulness in great things is not uncommon; faithfulness in little things is rare but most indicative of true character."

St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html 

One day during Holy Mass, the Lord gave me a deeper knowledge of His holiness and His majesty, and at the same time I saw my own misery. This knowledge made me happy, and my soul drowned itself completely in His mercy. I felt enormously happy.       (1801)

One day, when I was preparing for Holy Communion and noticed that I had nothing to offer Him, I fell at His feet, calling down all His mercy upon my poor soul: "May Your grace, which flows down upon me from Your Compassionate Heart, strengthen me for the struggle and sufferings, that I may remain faithful to You. And, although I am such misery, I do not fear You, because I know Your mercy well. Nothing will frighten me away from You, O God, because everything is so much less than what I know [Your mercy to be]-I see that clearly.       (1803)

Today, I am not forcing myself to make any special preparation. I cannot think of anything, though I feel many things. I long for the time when God will come to my heart. I throw myself in His arms and tell Him about my inability and my misery. I pour out all the pain of my heart, for not being able to love Him as much as I want. I arouse within myself acts of faith, hope and charity and live on that throughout the day.       (1813)

 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.

JUNE 2 - PRAY AND FAST

In January of 1984, Jelena received the following locution:

Pray and fast. For those who want to make a special sacrifice, fast up to three times a week at the most, but do not prolong it further (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana January 22, 1984).

Jesus also advises his followers on fasting:

And whenever you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so as to show others that they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that your fasting may be seen not by others but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you (Mt 6:16-18).

Reflection:

A fruitful fast often depends on the right attitude at the beginning. Here, then, is a condensed version of a prayer for just that purpose, written by Fr. Slavko Barbaric, spiritual director to the visionaries. Loving Father, today I have decided to fast. I can remember that your prophets of old fasted, that Jesus our Lord fasted, as did his disciples. The Blessed Virgin also fasted and has called me as well. Eternal Father, I offer this day of fasting to you. May it draw me closer to you, teach me your ways, and open my eyes to see your many gifts. May love for you and for my neighbor fill my heart to overflowing.

Lord, may this fast help me to grow in understanding the hungry, the deprived, the poor. Let me see my possessions as gifts for the journey meant to be shared. Grant also to me the grace of humility and the strength to do your will.

Lord, may this fast cleanse me of bad habits, calm my passions, and increase your virtues within me. And may you, Mother Mary, obtain for me the grace of a joyful fast, that my heart may sing with you a song of thanksgiving. I place my decision to fast firmly in your hands. Teach me through fasting to be more and more like your Son, Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Application:

Use Fr. Salvo's prayer on the morning of your next several fast days.

CAUSES GREAT CATASTROPHES. HOW FOOLISH, HOW FOOLISH. IT IS BY GOD' HAND THAT THE
SUN HEATS OR RETRACTS. IT IS GOD' HAND THAT STIRS THE WINDS. HOW FOOLISH THE MAN
WHO DOES NOT SAY - YOU ARE GOD HAVE MERCY ON US. SO IT IS THAT SIN IS SO DEEPLY
EMBEDDED IN THE HEARTS AND SOULS OF MANKIND. BE AWARE OF THOSE WHO MAKE CLAIMS
TO GOD' POWER.

BE PATIENT MY LOVES IN THE TRIALS YOU UNDERGO NOW. YOUR NATION HAS MUCH TO
ENDURE. YET I REMIND YOU, YOU ARE MY CHILDREN AND YOU HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY
HEART, AND IN THE SACRED AND MOST MERCIFUL HEART OF MY SON. I SAY TO YOU
CONTINUE TO LISTEN TO THIS YOUR MOTHER. PRAY AND TRUST. DO NOT FAIL NOW IN THESE
DAYS, THE DAYS SO LONG AWAITED.

WITH TRUE AN DEEP LOVE I GIVE MY BLESSING. I GIVE IT IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER,
THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.

YOU RECEIVE THE BLESSING OF CHRIST AS WELL. WELCOME THESE BLESSINGS AND NEVER
MAKE LIGHT OF THEIR VALUE.

OPEN YOUR HEARTS TO PRAISE AND GRATITUDE, PRAISING AND THANKING GOD OVER AND
OVER AND FOREVER AND FOREVER.

The Proposed Feast of the Sacred Heart of the Father

Arising mystically from circles and cenacles of prayer in the United States is a
request for devotion to the Sacred Heart of the Father, including even a request
for a Feast of the Sacred Heart of the Father to occur on the Thursday preceding
the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus each year. One of the fruits of this
devotion is a beautiful prayer to God the Father:

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 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
to 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 Jesus Christ Your
Son. Amen.

Heavenly Father,,,
...administer your Justice quickly...prayer given by Blessed Mother on May 21,
1992..this prayer is most important and should be said everyday, along with
rosary. I will bless all those who say this prayer with love.


"Heavenly Father, we, the inhabitants of earth, are worthy of nothing from YOU,
except your Justice. We believe in YOUR Perfections, and know that Your Holy
Wrath is justified at this time for us, Your unholy people.

We beg YOU, with the merits of Your Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, has gained by
the virtues of His Most Sorrowful Passion, and by the great sorrows of His
Blessed and Immaculate Mother, to look down on earth, see Thy faithful people
who struggle to do Your Will, and administer Your Justice quickly and completely
with Your Loving and Almighty Hand. Amen


Say these invocations often throughout the day..
"BLESSED BE THE RIGHTEOUS HAND OF GOD"..
"BLESSED BE HIS HOLY WRATH.."
"BLESSED BE HIS PERFECT JUSTICE"
+
BLESSED MOTHER: WITHOUT THIS PRAYER I HAVE JUST TAUGHT YOU, GOD'S JUSTICE WILL
FALL UPON YOU SLOWLY. BEG HIM TO MOVE SWIFTLY...
