Another Eucharistic Miracle

Wednesday, June 18, 2008

Dear Friends,

Jesus said to the people, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst." John 6:35

Another Eucharistic Miracle

In his book, Dr. Bob Rice wrote about the first time he went to Eucharistic Adoration with his wife. He wrote these words, "The time arrived for us to go to the healing service in Arizona. I had never seen the Blessed Sacrament exposed for adoration before that night.

However, placed on the altar was this thing called a monstrance and inside it was the Blessed Sacrament. As Brendan preached his message that night, I sat up front and looked at the Blessed Sacrament.

Suddenly the face of Christ appeared to me in the center of the Blessed Sacrament. It was like the Lord was saying to me, 'see Bob, I really am present in the Holy Eucharist.' I said, 'all right Lord, I get the picture.'"

The Lord began to deal with him in his heart. If Jesus is truly present in the Holy Eucharist, then so is His power, because He cannot be separated from His power.

Did you know that the power that healed the sick, cleansed the lepers, raised the dead and cast out devils is also present in the Holy Eucharist? It is true because Jesus is present in the Blessed Sacrament with all His power. He is there as the risen Lord, alive and the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity.

Bob asked Jesus this question: "Lord, is there some way that you can use me in the Catholic Church?" The Lord answered him "yes." He could use him in the Catholic Church.

The Lord told him, "If you will go and preach that the kingdom of heaven is at hand, I'll heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead and cast out devils." The Lord told him that the reason why the Kingdom of heaven is at hand is because Jesus is truly present in the Holy Eucharist.

He was to go out and tell the people that Jesus is present in the Holy Eucharist. If he did this then there would be many healings.

  The Real Presence of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist

  
Tuesday, June 17, 2008

 Dear Friends,

 O Lord, you have been our refuge through all generations. Before the mountains were begotten and the earth and the world were brought forth, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. Psalm 90:1-2

 Yesterday it was cloudy the whole forenoon but the sun did come out in the afternoon. It was warm in the sun but it became cool in the evening. This morning there is fog but it will lift and we should have a partly sunny day.

 I went to the Manor yesterday to celebrate Holy Mass at 1:30 p.m. with the residents. Many of them came to the chapel. Afterwards I visited the bedridden in their rooms. I had visitors during the day who came especially for prayers. This morning I will celebrate Holy Mass at 9:00 a.m. at the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, as the priests are gone to the Eucharistic Congress in Quebec City. There will be Eucharistic Adoration at our church the whole day.

The Real Presence of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist

 In Dr. Bob Rice's book on the Holy Eucharist, the following question is answered: does the bread and wine really become the Body and Blood of Our Lord at the consecration at Mass? 

The Lord sent him to read St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians and this is what it says, For I received from the Lord what I also handed onto to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and after he had given thanks, broke it and said, This is my body that is for you.

Do this in remembrance of me. In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, This is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes. Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord.

A person should examine himself, and so eat the bread and drink the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many among you are ill and infirm, and a considerable number are dying. 1 Cor 11:23-30

He received these words from the Lord, Bob, if I would have meant for the bread and wine to simply be symbols of my Body and Blood, I would have said to my disciples, listen my friends, this bread and wine are only symbols of my Body and Blood. But that is not what I said. I said this is my Body this is my Blood.

It is a fact that the Protestant pastor cannot consecrate a cracker and grape juice into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. The only person who can consecrate the bread and wine and have them become the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Catholic priest. That privilege is reserved for the Catholic priest alone.

I AM PEACE

 
Peace -- but what is Peace, My children?
My Peace I leave with you; My Peace I give to you!
It is imponderable, supernatural, beyond
Your human conceptions -- a state born
And reborn, a light non-created which comes
And settles in the receptiveness of your soul
Such as I have created it -- full of life!
Look at Me, My little one, and you will see
What is My Peace!

It will speak to you
Beyond words; it will teach you
Without you realizing it; it will carry you
Very close to Me, gently,
With a tenderness outside of time.
In this finished world where you move,
Alone, it will save you when all will seem
Lost, for I am Peace.

And if you rest
In Me who am Your God, it will carry you
Into the Faith where tension and suffering will be obliterated,
Believe Me -- it suffices to give yourself to Love.
My yoke is light -- have confidence,
My little one, whom I love so:
I am Peace!

 
Jesus

BVM to db during 10:00AM Cenacle of Prayer


My children I love you. I am with you always.


Dear children I have for many years implored your conversion and return to God.I have pleaded with you to reject the allurements of the world, the temptations of the flesh and seductions of the enemy of salvation.

My dear children I remain with you during these painful hours of purification.Do not succumb to fear or despair but with renewed faith turn trustingly toJesus. With complete trust and confidence have recourse to the unfathomable mercy of God.

My little ones you are called to remain steadfast in hope and in the love and mercy of God. You in turn are called to strengthen your brothers and sisters.

"O wealth of the poor, how admirably You know how to sustain souls!  And without their seeing such great wealth, You show it to them little by little. When I behold majesty as extraordinary as this concealed in something as small as the Host, it happens afterward that I marvel at wisdom so wonderful, and I fail to know how the Lord gives me courage or strength to approach Him. 

If He who has granted, and still does grant me so many favors, did not give this strength, it would be impossible to conceal the fact or resist shouting aloud marvels so great" (St. Teresa of Avila).

Mother Teresa 

Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more. Be happy now and if you show through your actions that you love others, including those who are poorer than you, you'll give them happiness, too. It doesn't take much - it can be just giving a smile. The world would be a much better place if everyone smiled more. So smile, be cheerful, be joyous that God loves you

 Meditations by Padre Pio -

My Jesus, my sweetness, how can I live without You? Come always, My Jesus, come; You alone take possession of my heart (AD,54).

 
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

If you want freedom, exercise your free will as God wills

"People talk most about their health when they are sick, and most about liberty when they are in danger of losing it.

Despite all the pleas for liberty, it must be remembered that every flight from responsibility is a flight from liberty and every denial of personal guilt is also a denial of freedom."

No matter what excuses, we didn't just fall off the cabbage truck!

"Cabbages cannot do wrong, though they have heads; calculators cannot commit sin, though they can do many things which seem to emulate human thought. Perhaps it is the very burden of responsibility which flows from free choice that makes so many human beings ready to surrender their great gift of freedom.

This also explains the search for someone to whom they can commit their choice, who do their thinking for them and relieve them of the awful burden of the consequences of their free decisions.

This search for someone to whom neurotic minds can commit themselves explains the comparatively facile surrender of so many to totalitarianism in our day and age."

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

O most sweet Jesus, who have deigned to allow miserable me to gain a knowledge of Your unfathomable mercy; O most sweet Jesus, who have graciously demanded that I tell the whole world of Your incomprehensible mercy, this day I take into my hands the two rays that spring from Your merciful Heart; that is, the Blood and the Water; and I scatter them all over the globe so that each soul may receive Your mercy and, having received it, may glorify it for endless ages.

O most sweet Jesus who, in Your incomprehensible kindness, has deigned to unite my wretched heart to Your most merciful Heart, it is with Your own Heart that I glorify God, our Father, as no soul has ever glorified Him before.       (836)

JUNE 18 - NOW IS THE TIME

The following was given to the locutionist Marijana:

My angel, pray for unbelievers. People will tear their hair, brother will plead with brother, they will curse their past lives lived without God. They will repent, but it will be too late.

Now is the time for conversion. I have been calling you for the past four years. Pray for them. Invite everyone to pray the rosary (Special Message August 15, 1985).

IN equally strong language, Jesus urges readiness for his second coming:

For as the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son Of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark and they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so too will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two will be in the field; one will be left.

Two women will be grinding meal together; one will be taken and one will be left. Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming (Mt 24:37-42).

Reflection:

"Now is the time of conversion," the Madonna says today, echoing the words of Jesus in the gospels. Of course the bet reason for converting or deepening our faith is out of love for God, but some may need the impetus of the warnings of Christ and his Mother today. How one comes to faith is as unique as each individual.

The British educator F. H, Drinkwater tells the story of Ira Dutton, born on a farm in Vermont, a teen-age dropout from school, and an enlistee in the northern army when the Civil War broke out. Eventually promoted to officer's rank, he was twenty-two when the war ended.

From there he began the tragic downward spiral of alcoholism. For years he led a kind of double life, sober in the daytime, but drunk and carousing at night, until that time when the disease entered its final, terminal stage.

At this juncture he experienced through the grace of God, a life-changing conversion and a miraculous healing of his alcoholism.

At the age of forty, he was received into the Catholic Church and changed his first name to Joseph. Two years later he read about Fr. Damien and determined to go and help him with the lepers.

When he met Damien on the beach of Molokai in 1886, he told him he wanted no special treatment: "I wish only to serve my fellow man." Fr. Damien already had leprosy, and in another few moments was dead. Brother Joseph lived for another forty years on Nolokai, devoting himself to the care of lepers until his own death in 1926.

Application:

In prayer today, abandon yourself again to Our Lady, asking for the grace of deep conversion.
