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 Ifail to know how the Lord gives me courage or strength to approach Him. 

If Hewho has granted, and still does grant me so many favors, did not give thisstrength, 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."

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)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

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.

Jesus said: “My people, there are many people who do not believe in My Real Presence because they do not understand transubstantiation or they have not been taught this core of their faith. It is rarely heard about from the pulpit, and there are even some priests who do not believe either. In order to understand the meaning of the Real Presence you could go to ‘The Catechism of the Catholic Church’: (1374)

‘In the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist the Body and Blood, together with the Soul and Divinity, of Our Lord Jesus Christ and, therefore, the whole Christ is truly, really, and substantially contained.

This presence is called ‘Real’-by which is not intended to exclude the other types of presence as if they could not be ‘real’ too, but because it is presence in the fullest sense: that is to say, it is a substantial presence by which Christ, God and man, makes Himself wholly and entirely present.’
Holy Communion is consecrated at the Consecration of the Mass and the bread becomes My Body and Blood as a sacramental presence under the appearance of bread. This belief in this transubstantiation is also found in the Catechism: (1376)

‘The Council of Trent summarizes the Catholic Faith by declaring: Because Christ our Redeemer said that it was truly His Body that He was offering under the species of bread, it has always been the conviction of the Church of God, and this holy Council now declares again, that by the consecration of the bread, and wine there takes place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the Body of Christ Our Lord and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of His Blood.

This change the Holy Catholic Church has fittingly and properly called transubstantiation.’

Truly I am Present in the consecrated Host so you can receive Me intimately in Holy Communion and worship Me in My Host at Adoration. Believe in My Real Presence because I am with you in My Blessed Sacrament to the end of time.”

June 1, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, this room full of chairs is where you will be holding your home Masses and prayer groups once the division in My Church comes about. Many of these home Mass sites will be secret interim refuges where people will stay on their way to their final refuge.

Time is getting close for going to your refuges, and people are making their last minute preparations for Mass kits and extra food that will be multiplied. Preparing backpacks with your sacramentals and physical needs as clothing and tents are all things that should be ready before you leave.

Do not be fearful of this time because My angels will protect you by making you invisible to those who want to kill you. Pray for strength and courage during the tribulation, but know I am by your side ready to provide for all of your needs.”

Jesus said: “My people, I have asked people many times to try and make an extra visit to adore Me besides Mass time. Because of crime and break-ins in many cities, most churches are locked, making it difficult to find an open church for Adoration.

Some places of Adoration use a key or a combination to gain entry to My Blessed Sacrament, but these are also rare to find. People have made such a fear about security, that you are locking My people out from being able to see Me.

Thank heaven that you have a few brave churches who make it possible to see Me any time of the day. If you do not know of such a church close to you, then you could ask someone or a priest if they know of such a church. These open churches are your present havens for adoring My Blessed Sacrament. Treasure them and make it known to others who may want to visit Me at off hours.

Encourage people to reverence Me and adore Me as often as they can make the time to come and be with Me in love. All of those, who make this extra effort to be with Me, are storing treasure up in heaven for your judgment.”

Jesus said: “My people, many of you come to Mass on Sunday, but how many live My Gospel message all of the other days of the week? It is one thing to hear and read the words of Scripture, but it is another to put these words to work in your actions.

You say one thing with your lips, but your actions may be saying something else. This vision of the places where you shop asks the question if people can identify you in the world as acting with Christian values and virtues.

You need to be consistently faithful and do not act like a hypocrite who says one thing, but does another. By your good deeds and actions you can evangelize more souls than just by your words alone. Your good example to others is your best witness or testimony to My words of the Gospel.

You are tempted by the evil one to sin every day, so it takes spiritual strength and endurance to keep faithful. You may not see much reward for your good actions in this life, but you surely will see your reward in the next life. So be strong in your daily life by a good prayer life and you will remain united with Me in your heart which directs all of your actions.”

Jesus said: “My people, this large sand box represents a situation in the Middle East where there is a threat of nuclear weapons being used or manufactured.

The large clear plastic enclosure means that this is being viewed by the whole world. The threats by the Iranian president to annihilate Israel have Israel’s leaders thinking of a pre-emptive strike on Iran. Israel in the past has attacked Arab countries when they threatened to make nuclear weapons.

It is the United States that is holding Israel back, but this will not go on for long if Iran develops nuclear bombs. With China and Russia backing Iran, any pre-emptive attacks could involve wider complications in a possible war. Any war in this area could cause oil prices to increase as supplies of oil could be threatened.

Pray, My people, that peace will be maintained in this region, or a worse war could result. See the need for praying more rosaries for peace.”

Tuesday, June 3, 2008: (St. Charles Lwanga & companions)

June 3, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, even since My day people have been loath to paying excessive taxes. Tax collectors cheated the people by adding on taxes to give themselves more income.

The fact that tax collectors were rich tells you of their devious means of making money off the people. In your society of today you also are paying heavy taxes, especially land taxes that are hurting people with low incomes.

Aside from your government demands, I also stressed to the people to give back to God at the synagogues or churches what belongs to God.

The one who preaches and evangelizes My Word is worthy of being supported in their work for Me in saving souls. Supporting My Church is one of your Christian responsibilities and a part of the laws of My Church. Contributing to My Church is one way of thanking Me for all that I have given you.

My Third Commandment calls you to worship Me on Sunday at Mass, and to have Mass it is necessary to support a church financially so you have a place to go. You pay your taxes because of man’s law, but support your churches because of My laws.”
Jesus said: “My people, this vision is a message of warning to your President that an attempt will be made on his life because of some coming decisions on a possible war with Iran.

Arab nations, Russia, and China are very aware of a possible United States strike against Iran because of Iran’s making enriched uranium for potential bomb making. Some Arab terrorists will be planning this attack in secret because of their hate for America.

Other terrorist plans are also in motion to try and bring down some of your city infrastructures in multiple cities at once. Many could die from such attacks.

Your government will have to be on a full scale alert to prevent these attacks which could still take place. Before the elections you could see both man-made and natural disasters occur which could postpone your elections. Pray in earnest that these events could be mitigated or prevented. Pray also that war does not come in Iran which could lead to World War III.”

FROM HOLY LOVE

Jesus requests home rosary groups

June 15, 2008
Holy Love Message
Public

St. Catherine of Siena says: Praise be to Jesus.

Today, all over the world, little pockets of the Remnant Faithful are forming, but only from this particular Site are they being called into the Chambers of the United Hearts.

There are others who claim such messages they are false. Further, at this Site, the Rosary of the Unborn is strengthening the Remnant in their resolve to put an end to the crime of abortion.

For these reasons and more, Jesus is asking for the formation of home rosary groups. These groups would be devoted to the Messages and the spirituality that emanates from them, as well as recitation of the Rosary of the Unborn.

Heaven is not raising up new visionaries or messengers in these groups, but encourages that all that has been said here be lived out from the heart. Enough has been given here that challenges each soul to perfection. It is a trap of Satan to look for more or to claim to be chosen.

Your prayers and your commitment is what Jesus sends me to ask for. He awaits your response.
