"I am all merciful"
Tuesday, July 15, 2008
Dear Friends,
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy endures forever. Give
thanks to the God of gods, for his mercy endures forever; Give thanks to the
Lord of lords, for his mercy endures forever. Ps 136: 1 ? 3
We had a fine day yesterday but we had showers in the afternoon and during the
night. It was humid and warm. Today it is cloudy but the clouds are thinning out
and soon we will see the sun. We should have a nice day.
Yesterday afternoon I celebrated Holy Mass at the Manor in Alberton and a good
group of the residents attended. I visited all those who were bedridden in their
rooms and gave them Holy Communion. Today I will go to Summerside for a Healing
Mass at 7:00 p.m; it will be at St. Paul?s Church. I am invited there by the
prayer group of the parish. Dom Forker will send me a box of his book, Roses in
December, where you will find a chapter on Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. He
gave a talk in Emmitsburg, Maryland, a few days ago and he sold 200 books that
day.
I am giving you another quotation now from Joseph to whom Jesus gave the
following words: I am all merciful and I show mercy to all those who call on Me
for help. I was born among you because I love you and I wanted to save you. In
My great mercy for all sinners, I accepted to suffer and die a cruel death so
that My sacrifice on the cross would bring them redemption. I gave My life for
you so that we could be united together forever. I won for you all the graces
you need to follow Me and reach heaven one day.
You need to accept that you are a sinner who has no power to save yourself.
Alone without Me, you would perish. Many think they do not need Me because
science will bring them all they need: science will find the medication I need
to remain alive for a long time. You think your heart will be satisfied with the
pleasures of this life. I can assure you that without Me, you can do nothing.
Your heart will be restless until it rests in Me. In this world of yours, many
feel empty and are discouraged and without hope. A large number of people today
are depressed and live in darkness. You can try drugs, alcohol, yoga, new age or
any therapy of today but these will not bring you peace and happiness but lead
you deeper into despair.
Come to Me, My dear brothers and sisters, and throw yourselves on My mercy. I
will wrap you with My merciful heart if you repent and I will bring you into My
light. I am the one who gives peace and joy to My friends. I will never reject
any person who comes to Me because I died for you all. I want the salvation of
all of you. You are all very precious to Me. Leave your erroneous ways and
follow the path I traced out for you long ago. Come back now before it is too
late. I love you and I have mercy on you.

"I call you all to love, to love perfectly"
Monday, July 14, 2008
Dear Friends,
I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. John 15: 11 14
We had almost a perfect day yesterday with the sun shining for most of the day. It clouded over in the evening and it was windy in the afternoon. We expect rain today. The temperature was around 25 degrees Celsius yesterday afternoon.
I celebrated Holy Mass at the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, yesterday morning at 11:00 a.m. There were fewer people in church perhaps many are gone on vacation. Today I will celebrate Holy Mass at the Manor in Alberton with the residents at 1:30 p.m. I will also visit the sick in their rooms and give them Holy Communion and will give them a blessing too. I will go to the Manor with Fr. Nicholas, a visiting priest from India. On Tuesday evening, I will go to St. Paul's in Summerside for a Healing Mass at 7:00 p.m.; everyone is welcome to attend.
Today I will give you the words Jesus addressed to Joseph, a man who receives words from God. Jesus said, I call you all to love, to love perfectly. You know, My dear brother or sister, that My love for you is perfect love. I love you with all My heart and in an infinite manner.
How can you truly love Me? In order to have perfect love, you need to have nothing negative in your heart and mind. Many people cannot truly love because of their negative mentality. Some are too full of pride to forget self and to love with all their heart. Some have doubts about Me and this inhibits them to love truly. Others harbor grudges, resentment, jealousy, a lack of faith, fear, or are attached to alcohol, drugs, pornography, or impulses of different kinds. You need to get rid of all this negativity in order to love with all your heart and soul.
I am the only one who can rid you of all your inhibitions to love. You need to bring them to Me one by one and I will take them away from you. I call you to have trust in Me that I can do this for you, if you ask Me. You need to examine your conscience and find out what are the causes of your imperfect love. Is your heart attached to anything that draws you away from Me? If so, then give me this attachment. Lay it at the foot of My cross. I will deal with it. Is your heart closed because it is filled with various hurts or resentments? Then give Me all these hurts and resentments and your heart will be opened. I am the only one who can rid you of all these hang-ups. With faith give them to Me and I will take them away. When all is gone, then your love will be perfect and I will be filled with great joy. I love you, My dear one, with all My heart.

"I seek to heal you and renew you"
Sunday, July 13, 2008
Dear Friends,
All you peoples, clap your hands, shout to God with cries of gladness, For the
Lord, the Most High, the awesome, is the great king over all the earth. Psalm
47: 2 3
We had a most perfect day yesterday with the sun shining bright all day and
there was a little wind and the temperature was between 18 degrees Celsius in
the morning to about 25 degrees in the afternoon. We have the same weather
today.
I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday morning at the little shrine of Our Lady of
Prince Edward Island at 9:30 a.m. and a good group of people was present. There
were some from British Columbia, Washington State, New Brunswick and P.E.I. In
the afternoon, I took my visitors to see the windmills in North Cape and we went
to see the monument to the Yankee Gale of 1851 where at least 90 ships went down
and 160 men drowned. Then we traveled to O'Leary to see the Potato Museum and we
had a meal at a restaurant nearby. We came home along the southwestern coastal
road and stopped at different harbors. We were tired when we got home around
9:00 p.m. Today I will celebrate Holy Mass at the Immaculate Conception Church,
Palmer Road, at 11:00 a.m.
I will continue again this morning with a quotation from the booklet,
Conversations with the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. Jesus said these words, I
want to draw souls into My Sacred Heart. This is the place of safety for you, My
dear ones. It is here, in the security of My love, that you can rest and begin
to see your world with clarity. Just as I told you that I see your world through
your eyes, because I am always with you, I want you to see all through My eyes.
In this way, gradually, you and I become one. When you look at a situation that
troubles you, I want you to think, What would My Jesus say about this? If you
are unsure, simply ask Me. I will tell you. In the same way, when you look at a
situation that causes you joy, ask me if I also feel joy. We can then exult
together. And there is much to be joyful about, My little one. I am joyful, for
example, about you. I see you struggle and do you know why seeing your struggles
makes Me joyful? Because you are trying to be good. We, in heaven, observe this
struggle for improvement and We send you all manner of little rewards and
assistances. We are with you in your struggles, more than you can imagine. My
heart beats with such tenderness for you when you struggle. My child, you must
not take this struggling as a sign that you are failing, but rather as a sign
that you are succeeding. There is little struggle in badness, you see. So do not
be afraid. As long as you have the desire to serve Me, I will meet you there, at
that initial desire, and I will bring with Me everything you need to succeed. My
child, I will make it easy for you. It is not in My nature to confuse, so you
must believe that confusion does not come from Me. Fear, anxiety, restlessness
do not come from Me. Bitterness, hatred, deceit do not come from Me. They are
part of your earthly cross that you will encounter. You must bring these things
to Me. I will then take them from you and you will be free of them. I seek to
heal you and renew you?

Dear Friends,
We give you thanks, O God, we give you thanks, and we invoke your name; we declare your wondrous deeds. Psalm 75: 2
This month of July has been the best month for fine weather for many years. Yesterday it was sunny all day and the temperature was between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. Today the sun is shining bright and there is no wind. We will have a beautiful day.
Last evening I celebrated Holy Mass at 7:00 p.m. and it was followed by a holy hour to pray in reparation for the wounds inflicted on the Sacred Heart of Jesus by the terrible scourge of abortion. We prayed for an end to abortion and that all may respect life from conception to natural death. The holy hour was followed by the Cenacle. A good number of people attended.
A new mobile home arrived in Palmer Road yesterday and it was installed only a few hundred feet from the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. My friend, Francis, and his mother will move there next week to be near Our Mother's place.
Let me give you another quotation from the little book, Conversations with the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. Here are Our Dear Mother's words to us, ?My children, I am anxious that you persevere in your conversions. There are many graces available to you so that you stay this course to holiness. Because I am a mother, your mother, I anticipate dangers that threaten my little ones. Beware of spiritual pride. Jesus intends to bring each one of you to a high level of holiness in a relatively short time. At no time should you think this holiness comes from you. Your faith, your love of God, is God's gift to you so do not hold yourself above your brothers and sisters who are not responding as fully and hence not receiving the same level of grace. My little one, you might wonder what it is you are contributing if everything is coming from Jesus. You are contributing your free will. You are contributing your time on earth. You are giving Jesus your heart and saying, yes, Jesus, I want to be a saint. Truly little children of my heart, Jesus can do anything with a soul such as yours who has made a decision for heaven. Consider yourself a soldier in the army of light. I anoint you as such and you work only for goodness. Prayer is your weapon and you are armed with the holiness acquired through your obedience. No evil can prevail against you. Such is the power you wield with Jesus as your leader. Fear nothing. We are with you. Be available to accept your direction through prayer so that as times change we can instruct you in everything. We are always available to you. I bless you now and entrust you to My Son, Jesus Christ. Serve Him faithfully and you will know heaven. How your loyalty will be rewarded! Truly children, you will be overwhelmed with happiness. We have every answer, so bring every trouble to Us. I am with you and seek to help you as a mother helps her children through difficult times. When you need me, dear ones, I will be there, with additional guidance for your time.

Dear Friends,
O Lord, you have probed me and you know me; you know when I sit and when I stand; you understand my thoughts from afar. My journeys and my rest you scrutinize, with all my ways you are familiar. Psalm 139: 1- 3
We had rain yesterday morning but it cleared up before noon and it was sunny and warm for the rest of the day. Today the sun is shining in all its glory. It is cool and there is a little wind. We will have a great day.
Yesterday I celebrated Holy Mass in the evening in the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. Today I will celebrate Holy Mass at 7:00 p.m. and the Mass will be followed by the Cenacle at 7:30 p.m. We will have the Cenacle every Friday evening at the same time. We did not have it for some time because I was away but I will be home throughout the summer. A priest is arriving today who will stay with me for the summer months. He will be a great help when we have a lot of people.
I am making use again today of the beautiful little book, Conversations with the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. Jesus speaks to us saying, My children, I am with you. You have heard Me say that many times before I am with YOU, My child. That means I see the world from your eyes. I walk your walks and I experience what you experience. I am there when you are hurt. I feel the sting of human unkindness when you experience it. I feel the weakness and pain in your body when you are sick. My compassionate gaze, so filled with love and understanding, rests upon you every minute of every day. I forgive you any sins even before these sins are committed. But you must admit to your sins and ask forgiveness. My child, do not think you have been abandoned. I say with divine solemnity, I am with you.
So, begin to focus on the fact that every minute of every day, your Jesus is present. Talk to Me, dear child. I have so much to tell you. I have the answers for your difficulties. I have explanations for things you do not understand. I have love for people that you do not feel love. So if you focus on the reality of My presence, you will begin to rely on Me. My child, then the transition can begin. Once you begin to rely on Me, your life will get easier and less stressful. You will walk away from even the most difficult situations and leave them behind, instead of carrying that worry with you into the next area of your life. You will find this to be so liberating that very quickly it will become your habit. And then, child, it will be Me working through you. And when that goal is reached, there is no limit to what you can do. So today, concentrate on My continual presence. Ask Me what I would like you to do. Ask Me what words I would like you to use. Then listen to My answer: My Spirit will speak to you and you will hear the words resting upon your soul.

Feast of St. Maria Goretti
L. began to receive a message from God the Father and said, "Jesus, please cover
me with Your Most Precious Blood."(and other various prayers of testing)
Then your God spoke, "The time is come dear daughter when the face of the earth
will undergo a drastic geographical change. Parts of U.S.A., the Americas,
Europe, Asia, the Middle and Far East, Islands and Islands Nations will no
longer exist.
Oceans, seas, rivers will all relocate while great mountains will fall and
become level ground. Industry will collapse and the commercial world will be no
more as the Stock Market falls and banks fail.
Of all the so called faiths and churches around the globe only My One Holy
Catholic Apostolic Church will remain. I will save a tiny remnant of people and
animals, as I did in Noah's time, to rebuild My New Earth.
As this time approaches My people and My Church will suffer much. You will
go underground for a time. Do not be surprised or anxious as this time quickly
draws near.
Soon I will send a world-wide warning. This is to wake up and convert many
poor souls. You will all go through the 'Dark Night of the Soul' to test your
faith and trust in Me. After the prescribed time My Church will flourish, Holy
Michael will win the battle over satan. Mary's Immaculate Heart will triumph.
I will create a New Heavens.
Satan and all his cohorts will be chained in Hell for one thousand years as
peace reigns. Then, once again, satan will be loosed and the end will then be.
Amen dear ones! My peace I give you. Much strengh and My love I give to
all My faithful remnant. Cling to Me. Pray and be faithful to Me. Amen, I
have spoken!"

Vision July 10, 2008 to littlest of servants
While in Church, before Mass, in front of the BLESSED SACRAMENT I was given a
vision by JESUS.
In the vision I saw the Statue of Liberty and behind it I saw a city that looked
like one of those cities from WWII that had been bombed and almost completely
destroyed.
This is what the city behind the Statue of Liberty looked like.
Jesus then spoke and told me that this is what they are planning.
HE then said PRAY, PRAY, PRAY.

Message From the Father July 12, 2008
6:40 AM
Son, rely on Me for support. On your own efforts alone, you will find
insurmountable hardships but with my help, guidance and direction, life ahead
will not be too an excruciating pain. My favor rests on my faithful children,
those who endure to the end.
Not too far from now will the great changes take place, changes that will try
men's souls. Only your faith in my providence can help you get through the
difficult times.
But do not worry too much on what you will eat, what you will wear, where you
will go and where you will spend time when tribulation is here. I have already
prepared what is needed to help my faithful pass through these prophesied times.
All is in readiness. Wait for my representatives to lead you where you will
spend time during the great turmoil.
Be at peace, do not worry!
1st Message to J.N.S.R. April 5,2008
I am the Resurrection and the Life
*******
April 5, 2008 - 1st message
JNSR: Lord, You are the Bread of Life. You are the Bread of my life. Speak to me, Lord. I am asking You to speak to me as one asks for life!
JESUS: My roots are also yours: you are My generation of the Spirit. You can compare the New Earth and the New Heavens which you are waiting for, to an extra season coming to you. You know the four seasons, spring, summer, fall, winter. Even though they have been changing their behavior, and in reality, they keep only their name, we still call them by those names here on this Earth, the four seasons.
The Time of Our Encounter is drawing near without fanfare, and as if seeking its place, it turns everything around the seasons. This is also to alert all of Humanity.
You know that your Lord is coming, everything is announcing Him. Can anyone live long in such disorder?
Even if some people do not yet see the misery of others, nor do they see the trouble that may soon be at their door, you can really see that upheavals come in succession and that the first disturbance, you owe it to yourselves. Man is the greatest disturber of the planet. He constantly juggles with the Holy Law of God, the same way with morality, in the midst of all the difficulties he creates, according to his fantasies. The higher he is in government organizations of any country, the more he deforms everything. The more he clears himself of negativity, the more he affects the little people with horror, those who have no freedom of speech and can only submit to power.
So, if My Word is Life,
you can understand that it cannot be exchanged against anything, for its value is not accessible to the human spirit. God has created the world with His Word. All of the Universe could not be exchanged for My Word. And if I tell you: "My Word is Life", you can then understand what interest I hold for each life, for your life is in My Life, as My Life is in yours.
I am the Resurrection and the Life
JESUS Christ

The Lord gave me a VISION (Protestant prophecy)
From: pastor@...
The Lord gave me a VISION
God gave me a vision this morning (11.07.2008).
I saw how, through a very small spark, a whole ammunition depot was blown up.
And the Lord said to me, ?Write it down quickly, and let all your friends know,
so they will be warned, and not panic."
And this is what I saw: It was a black middle-sized bomb, which was fired into
the desert like a missile. It looked like it was a maneuver, or a military
exercise.
It was fired cluelessly; it did not meet its target, and looked like a false
start. It appeared as if the bomb exploded in the middle of the desert.
It had apparently missed its target, and dropped off in the desert.
Alas, no one had an idea that right at that point in the desert, below the sand,
a mighty armory was located, which had been secretly placed long before this
time.
This small bomb, which had missed its target, now triggered an inferno.
The explosion from the stored bomb under the sand was no longer to be stopped.
Every minute brought about another greater and more severe explosion.
It refused to stop. The smoke that resulted from these explosions caused
darkness in the whole world.
The whole world was here, like a village.
All the people I saw were seriously affected, shocked and horrified.
They called out and screamed, ?How could people be so crazy as to explode bombs
here, even though they are for test purposes?.
It went blow after blow.
There was no one who could stop this catastrophe, or to quench the fire.
No one even had the ability to do so. There arose a great and mighty cloud of
smoke up to the sky, just like the eruption of a mighty volcano.
As I continued to look at this inferno, I saw on the floor, the map stretched
from Egypt, Israel, Syria up till Pakistan, and in the middle was Saudi Arabia.
This was in my estimation, the location of the great armory that was blown up.
There was much sand and waste land all around.
The smoke and the desert sand from this inferno spread itself like wildfire over
the whole world and brought about darkness even at bright midday.
The whole world panicked. Even I woke up with a start, and asked myself what
had happened.
The Lord said to me. ?Tell my children, they should not fear, because I the
Lord am with them. I am still in control?. I am to tell them this ?do not
break out in panic, when this happens ? soon. It must happen in order that my
coming be prepared for?
. In the same vein, the Lord showed me how all the great and mighty fled, each
seeking a cave, or bunker in order to hide himself. The world economy, every
economic alliance collapsed like a pack of cards. No one wanted to know
anything about them anymore. Everyone ran for his dear life. Everything burnt.
There was panic and confusion everywhere.
As I continued to pray, the Lord said to me ?but you my children, you belong to
my family, all you who belong to my house, I will not allow you to find your
graves with the godless. I will come and catch away my own, and save them. You
will see these dark clouds; you will experience the dull days, without the sun,
but they cannot harm you.
I, the Lord, am your shield, your protection. Just like I once protected my
people Israel from the angel of death in Egypt, so will I protect all them which
have my blood (The blood of Jesus) over themselves, or which will be seen under
the blood of Jesus. You are my firstborn, whom I will protect and keep myself.
Hold out, through whatever experiences you are going, as it will lead you to a
deeper relationship with me. It only strengthens your faith.
It brings you closer to me, and makes you ready for the days of the shaking, and
the day of visitation. My children, the judgment must take place first, as the
sins and godlessness of man have cried out to me in heaven. Never has man been
so godless and unrighteous. Their cups of transgression have become full and
run over.
And thus says the Lord, ?my people, the time has come for you to arise and raise
your voices to warn the people against my great and terrible day of judgement,
which is coming on people of the world. The riches of this world will be
destroyed, but my kingdom comes, says the Lord. You my child, believe and trust
me, be faithful to me, serve me, so will you and your house be saved. And fear
not, you are inscribed upon the palm of my hands. I am still with you in your
boat, and I will bring you, and all the people with you, to safety on the other
side (shore) says the Lord.
Please, if possible, send this vision to all your friends. Translate if
necessary, and let your friends know, ?it will take place soon?.
MARANATHA Pastor Joh W. Matutis www.nnk-berlin.de (see the english menu)
P.S.
I know that this vision is from God. God speaks to me. I?ll give you an
example. Before the eruption of the Yugoslavian conflict, God gave me an
assignment one morning to take the next plane to Yugoslavia(Vinkowski) to
deliver a God-given message to the church. At first, I did not know exactly
what I was supposed to tell them, but as I got there, God showed me that they
were to buy up a nearby barn. During the service, I took a collection for the
purchase which money the brethren used to purchase the barn.
Shortly after that, the Yugoslavian war began. An American bomb struck the
church, as well as the barn, and destroyed it. After the war, the American
government, as compensation for this destruction built, at its expense, a
beautiful church on the land that had been the barn. This is just one out of
many examples.
So I am obeying the Lord and sending this vision to as many as possible. I
could also refer you to scriptures bordering on these revelations.
But you can all read that in your bibles yourselves, in Revelations
11:15 -19:4 for example.

July 13, 2008
Sunday evening 6:00 p.m.
Tonight we prayed The Marian Prayers
At the beginning of the 4th decade, Our Blessed Mother has appeared as…
“Our Lady Of Fatima”
Michael said: I bow down only to Jesus Christ
Blessed Mother replied: YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR MY SON JESUS CHRIST LOVES AND PROTECTS YOU.
- and now over the picture of The Sacred Heart, St. Padre-Pio has appeared and he is celebrating mass.
-and now on the-wall … I see a very LARGE BROWN CROSS …
-and now I see a very LARGE BROWN ANCHOR (The Anchor signifies ‘hope’)
-and now I see The Holy Spirit as a ‘DOVE’ on the-wall … and It’s coming from –the-wall- and is going around the room, and It’s going “through” everyone’s heart … including everyone on the radio internet.
And now once again… I see …
"OUR LADY OF FATIMA"
MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN …
THE DAYS ARE CHANGING … THE DAYS ARE GETTING SHORTER … THE WEATHER IS NOT STABLE … THIS IS ALL … DUE TO DISASTERS AND FOR THE RETURN OF MY SON YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST … NOT ONLY THE DAYS ARE SHORTER … OR YOU CAN SAY THE DAYS ARE GOING BY SO VERY … VERY FAST …
OR THE WEATHER IS NOT STABLE … AS YOU CAN HAVE DAYS OF HUMIDITY OR DAYS OF RAIN OR THUNDERSTORMS … BUT HOW MANY DAYS HAVE YOU HAD … GOT A PERFECT DAY … WITH NO HUMIDITY … AND NOT TOO HOT? IT IS NOT JUST BECAUSE IT IS THE SUMMER …
SUPPOSE I TELL YOU … THAT IS GOD THE FATHER … WHO WANTS TO SHAKE THE WORLD AND HE HAS … THAT IS WHY THERE ARE EARTHQUAKES … THAT IS WHY THERE ARE TORNADOES AND HURRICANES … ‘GOD THE FATHER’ … IS SLOWLY ERUPTING … AND YET … WHAT ARE PEOPLE DOING TO HELP GOD OUR FATHER? …
ARE THEY PRAYING MORE? ARE THEY MAKING SACRIFICES … NO … PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO PRAY … AS I HAD SAID: WHEN THEY NEED SOMETHING … OR THEY WANT SOMETHING … THEY WANT A MIRACLE FOR HEALING … AND THEY PRAY MORE THAN THEY EVER … AND THEY RECEIVE THEIR SMALL MIRACLE … AND THEY FORGET … THEIR PROMISES TO ME AND TO GOD OUR FATHER …
SO WHAT HAPPENS MY DEAR CHILDREN … PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO SUFFER IN DIFFERENT WAYS … THEY CAN LOSE MONEY IN THE STOCK MARKETS … WHICH IS ON A LARGE DECLINE … AND FOR MANY IT WILL BE A DISASTER … THEY CAN MAKE … BAD INVESTMENTS … NOT IN THE STOCK MARKET … BUT IN BUYING PROPERTY …

THIS IS A ‘SACRIFICE’ … BUT DO PEOPLE
REALIZE THIS? … AND DO THEY WANT TO CHANGE THEIR
COURSE OF LIVING … WHY INTERRUPT A GOOD TIME WITH PRAYER?
MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN …
DISASTERS CONTINUE … THE WILDFIRES IN CALIFORNIA HAS DAMAGED SO MANY … MANY ACRES … THOUSANDS OF ACERS … HOMES … WHEN WILL PEOPLE REALIZE … WHAT IS HAPPENING … AND WHY IS IT HAPPENING?

Message to J.N.S.R April 4,2008
Your request is already your Salvation
in My Forgiveness
*******
April 4, 2008
JESUS: My child, the free sharing of My Word does not require that it be understood by everyone at the same time. It is useless to try arranging it so that it will be received everywhere. And anyone who thinks he can arrange it so that a general understanding could be achieved, merely shows that he himself has not understood it.
Therefore, what more can be said on the awakening of souls! They are like thousands of roses in the same and adorable Garden, exposed to the same sun, enjoying the same fresh water; and each of them has its precise time to open up and give its fragrance in God's breezes.
Are some of them more eager than others to enjoy Life, to proudly show their beauty, to be loved and to love? And those that are not so early, cannot make up their mind to open up because of their same desire that has not yet ripened in them? So are all the souls in God's sight, they are free, with the Holy Freedom that God gave them.
But each one enjoys it in its own way, and to return to God, each one takes its own time.
But where to go since they all come from God?
Then, the Holy Patience of the Father starts waiting at the threshold of His House, the good will of all His roses of one evening to come back to Him.
When the Lord was on His Cross, between the two thieves also crucified like Him, to which one does He offer His Forgiveness? To the one on His right or to the one on His left? For if one did pray to Me, in the growling of indignation of the other, I noticed his entreating to Me and he did not deny Me for as much.
So, in seeing how sincere their choice was, My Father welcomed both of them at the same time at the cry of only one of them: SAVE US! I responded: "I am going to the Father and I am coming to you".
The primary condition for Salvation sometimes depends only on a request for it. There, I find the Faith and it suffices of one cry for the two: SAVE US, in order for God to hear both calls at once.
When I ordered the angry sea to calm down, I acted on nature, on the elements. For man it is all different, it is his Faith that can stop his torment and that can allow My Healing through. Then I can say to those who are restored to health: "Go, your Faith has saved you".
Man can close the door of his heart and of his soul to God. But in order to heal him, God needs his cooperation. God's Time is also man's time. When will men accept to receive the Sacraments? And when will the Holy Eucharist gather all of mankind together?
Then the lost hours can come together,
and the bells, God's Hour, will be able to ring.
Holy Mass, mankind will no longer forget.
Because the Life of God in the Holy Mass has been hidden,
and because man is dying away from the Truth.
And JESUS tells us: in this hymn,
He said to me: "I am the Bread prepared to feed you.
He who eats of Me may not fear to die".
He said to me: "I am the Vine and nothing can ripen away from Me.
He who clings to Me shall bear many fruits".
He said to me: "I am the Way and My Father expects you.
He who follows My Footsteps shall see My Coming".
He said to me: "I am the Day in the midst of your night.
He who welcomes Me in himself is guided by My Spirit".
He said to me: "I am the Love that alone can reunite everything.
He who finds Me receives Me so as to give Me".
He said to me: "I am the Peace so needed in the World.
He who makes Me loved, is the witness from My Reign".
"I have received the Living God
and my heart is full of Joy!
I have received the Living God
and my heart is full of Joy!
JESUS Christ, the Living Bread.

THE ROAD TO SALVATION
AS YOU WALK, MY DEAR CHILDREN, ON THE ROAD TO SALVATION,
SATAN'S PLANTING SEEDS THAT ARE LACED WITH TEMPTATION.
AS THE SEEDS ALONG THE WAY BEGIN SPROUTING,
DO NOT QUENCH THEIR THIRST WHEN TEMPTATION IS MOUNTING.
IF YOU EAT OF THE FRUIT FROM THE SEEDS SATAN PLANTED,
THE GIFTS GOD HAS OFFERED WILL BE QUICKLY RECANTED.
THE PATH ON THIS JOURNEY MAY BE HARD TO SUSTAIN,
BUT YOU MUST FINISH THE COURSE YOUR SALVATION TO GAIN.
THOUGH YOUR HEART SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE IT'S PIERCED BY A LANCE,
YOU MUST TAKE EACH STEP FORWARD SO THAT YOU CAN ADVANCE.
THE PATHWAY FOR YOU BY MY SON HAD BEEN MADE,
AND THE PRICE FOR THIS JOURNEY BY HIS BLOOD HAD BEEN PAID.
DO NOT, MY DEAR CHILDREN, LOOK BACK WHERE YOU FAILED;
LOOK AHEAD AT THE CROSS WHERE MY SON ONCE WAS NAILED.
DWELL NOT, MY DEAR CHILDREN, ON WHAT WAS IN THE PAST
BUT ON THE DAY WHERE THE RAINBOW FOREVER WILL LAST.
"THY WILL BE DONE"

BVM to db during 10:00AM Cenacle of Prayer
My children I love you. It is with great sorrow that I come to you today.
Dear children I beseech you. Hear a mother?s cry. Heed my plea. Pray! Pray!
Pray!
My dear children the sins of mankind are great and the cup of Divine Justice is
full and overflowing. Many are those who offend God and few there are who do
penance in reparation.
My little ones I plead with you with eyes overflowing with tears of blood.
Repent and reform your lives. Hear the call to conversion and listen well to my
maternal plea to pray and do penance. The hour is late and a portion of Divine
Justice is now being poured out upon this unrepentant humanity. Heed the acts of
saving justice that His mercy once more be implored and the Hand of God stayed.

Medjugorje Day By Day July 16 - OUR LADY OF MT. CARMEL
"Our Lord is present in this sacrament [of the Holy Eucharist] in which the
martyrs and virgins received fervor, and the saints received fortitude" (St.
John Bosco).
St. Dominic Savio, Patron of Children (1842-1857), Italy—Feastday, March 9
St. John Bosco advised those about to receive First Holy Communion to take St. Dominic Savio as their Patron Saint, due to his love of Jesus Eucharistic.
He loved to visit and spend time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament daily, and invite his friends too. St. Dominic wrote, "What else do I need to be happy? Nothing in this world but to be able to see Him, Whom I now see by faith and adore on the altar."
Mother Teresa -
Jesus said, " Learn of me for I am meek and humble of heart. "
Meditations by Padre Pio -
To see suffering makes me very unhappy! I would gladly stab myself in the heart to take away suffering from someone! Yes, this would be very easy for me! (T 121).
The Rosary is the weapon
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
God helps those who help themselves for His sake
"Contentment is not inconsistent with our endeavor to have our condition improved. We do everything we can, as if all depended on us, but we trust in God as if everything depended on Him."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
On the following day during Holy Mass, before the Elevation, this spirit began to sing these words: "Holy, Holy, Holy." His voice was like that of a thousand voices; it is impossible to put it into words. Suddenly my spirit was united with God, and in that instant I saw the grandeur and the inconceivable holiness of God and, at the same time, I realized the nothingness I am of myself. (471)

JULY 16 - OUR LADY OF MT. CARMEL
Our Lady speaks of consecration today:
Dear children, I call you daily to live the messages which I am giving you because I want to draw your closer to the heart of Jesus. Therefore, little children, I am calling you today to the prayer of consecration to Jesus, my dear Son, so that each of your hearts may be his. And then I am calling you to consecration to my immaculate heart. I want you to consecrate yourselves as person, families, and parishes so that all belongs to God through my hands (Monthly Message October 25, 1988).
Consecration is a way of confirming our total dedication to the Lord. As Peter writes:
Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more eager to confirm your call and election, for if you do this, you will never stumble. For in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you (2 Pt 1: 10-11).
Reflection :
The feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel speaks of profound dedication or consecration to the loving hearts of Jesus and Mary, as Carmelite religious have done for centuries. This is an act of love that links us to them forever.
Today the Virgin asks to help us on this path of love: « .I want to draw you closer to the heart of Jesus.
"And so she calls us to the prayers of consecration to the heart of Jesus and to her immaculate heart, so that all belongs to God through my hands." To consecrate means to completely dedicate ourselves. It means to irrevocably decide for God, to commit ourselves body and soul. It puts us in mind of the inscription on the papal coast of arms: "totus tuus," or "totally yours."
It is in regard to his act of profound dedication that Mary exhorts us: "pray that you may comprehend the greatness of this message (of consecration) which I am giving you." Consecration must be taken very seriously, for it is a radical commitment, a vow to the Lord himself.
Application: On this feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, let us again reverently consecrate ourselves to Jesus and Mary (prayers on November 24 and 25) and, as she says, « by constant prayer press tightly to my motherly heart. »
Medjugorje Day By Day July 15 - LIVE IN MUTUAL LOVE
What about Jesus?
Meditate on this.
We have to thank God for all the people who defend the Eucharist!
"The Church believes that a holy hour spent before the Blessed Sacrament does more good for the well-being of the world than whole days spent in talking about progress to the utter oblivion of the fact that the only true progress consists in the diminution of the traces of original sin; she believes that a penitent returning to God is of far more consequence than the cancellation of war debts; that an increase of sanctifying grace in a soul is of far more value than the increase of international credit; that a group of cloistered nuns in prayer are more effective in preserving world peace than a group of world politicians discussing peace to the forgetfulness of the Prince of Peace" (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen).
Mother Teresa -
There is great humility in God. He can stoop down to people like us and become dependent on us for His work to live, to grow, to bear fruit. And He could easily have done it without us. Yet He stooped down and called us to do it.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
I beseech you by the meekness of Jesus, and by the bowels of mercy of the heavenly Father, never to slacken up on the path of virtue. Keep on running and don't ever make up your mind to stop, for you know that to stand still on this path is equivalent to retracing one's steps (Letters II p 274).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
The greater our love for God, the less our needs in this world
"Contentment is based on the idea that `our sufficiency is not from ourselves but from God.' The soul does not desire or lack more than what God has supplied him. His will suits his state after he has exhausted his resources and his desire does not exceed his power. Hence everything that happens is judged to be as good and worthy of Divine appointment. As Socrates observed: `He is nearest to God who needs the fewest things.'"
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
One day, when I was at adoration, my spirit seemed to be dying for Him, and I could no longer hold back my tears. I saw a spirit of great beauty who spoke these words to me: "Don't cry-says the Lord." After a moment I asked, "Who are you?" He answered me, "I am one of the seven spirits who stand before the throne of God day and night and give Him ceaseless praise." Yet this spirit did not soothe my yearning, but roused me to even greater longing for God. This spirit is very beautiful, and his beauty comes from close union with God. This spirit does not leave me for a single moment, but accompanies me everywhere. (471)

July 15 - LIVE IN MUTUAL LOVE
Today the Blessed Mother speaks of love:
Dear children, today I call you to live and practice love in your life love for God and for your neighbor.
Without love, dear children, you can do nothing. Therefore I call you to live in mutual love. Only in that way can you love and accept me, as well as all those around you who are coming to the parish.
Then everyone will sense my love through you. And so I beseech you, dear children, to start loving form today with an ardent, powerful Love the same love with which I love each one of you (Weekly Message May 29, 1986).
St. John speaks of love casting out all fear.
God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. Love has been perfected among us in this : that we may have boldness on the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love (1 Jan 4 :16-18).
Reflection:
In this passage from John's first letter, we are assured that, « there is no fear in love. » This is illustrated in a story set in Nazi Germany. An order had gone out the incurables and the insane were no longer to be a burden on the Reich.
Three high officials descended upon the Bethel institution (a huge hospital for epileptics and the mentally ill). « Herr Pastor », they said, « the Fueher has decided that all these people must be gassed. » Dr. Von Bodelschwingh, the administrator, looked at them calmly. « You can put me into a concentration camp, if you want; that is your affair.
But as long as I am free, you do not touch one of my patients. I cannot change to fit the times or the
wishes of the Fuehrer. I stand under orders from our Lord Jesus Christ. »
Application:
Can you remember a time when, out of love, you chose to stand up for the right thing? Today, pray for the love that casts our all fear, and for the courage of faith.

Medjugorje Day By Day July 14 - GOD COMES TO HELP EVERYONE
"You will always find a friend in Jesus in the Holy Eucharist to console you in your moment of need. He will never fail to help you" (St. John Vianney).
"Grant that my soul may hunger after Thee, the Bread of Angels, the Refreshment of holy souls, our daily and supersubstantial Bread" (St. Bonaventure).
Mother Teresa -
Holiness is the greatest gift that God can give us because for that reason He created us.
Padre Pio -
Where there is no obedience there is no virtue, where there is no virtue, there is no goodness, no love, and where there is no love, God is not there and without God we do not go to paradise.
These form a stairway and if one step is missing from the stairway we fall down (AP).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
The good of sacrifice makes the effort worthwhile
"The violin strings, if they were conscious, would complain when the musician tightened them, but this is because they do not see that the sacrificial strain was necessary before they could produce a perfect melody. Evils actually become lighter by patient endurance and benefits are poisoned by discontent."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -

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.
July 14 - GOD COMES TO HELP EVERYONE
Questioned about curing the sick, the Virgin responded:
I cannot cure. God alone cures. Pray! I will pray with you. Believe firmly. Fast and do penance. I will help you as long as it is in my power to do so. God comes to help everyone. I am not God. I need your sacrifices and your prayers to help me (FY 12-83).
And in Matthew's gospel, the cure of a leper:
When Jesus had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him; and there was a leper who came too him and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean." He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, "I do choose. Be made clean!" Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Then Jesus said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them" (Mt 8:1-4).
Reflection:
In ancient Israel, leprosy was a feared disease since there was no known cure. The term was used for a variety of similar diseases, and some forms were contagious. If a person contracted the contagious type, a priest declared him a leper and banished him from his home and city. He was sent to live in a community with other lepers until he either got better or died.
Yet when the leper begged Jesus to heal him, Jesus reached out and touched him, even though his skin was covered with the dread disease. Through a single touch, Jesus heals; when he speaks a single word, demons flee his presence. As Our Lady affirms today, her Son has authority over all earthly disease and every form of evil. In the future, when God cleanses the earth from sin, there will be no more sickness and death. Jesus' healing miracles, in scripture as well as in Medjugorje, are a foretaste of what will one day be experienced in the kingdom of God.
Application:
Today, lift up to God in prayer those who are sick in body, mind, or spirit.
Remember them especially on your next fast day.
Medjugorje Day By Day July 13 - DO NOT WORRY ABOUT MATERIAL THINGS
Tired of pro-abortion politicians in your diocese?
Don't just send a letter, file a formal DENUNCIATION with the Church.
http://catholiccitizens.org/press/contentview.asp?c=13894
Go to the above link for the full story from St. Joseph Foundation and learn how to File a formal Denunciation with the Church of Pro-abortion Catholic politicians!
http://www.defide.com/index.html
On 14 June 2004 DE FIDE filed its first Libellus Litis (Bill of Complaint) in the Ecclesiastical Court of the Archdiocese of Boston. The Criminal Complaint alleges that United States Senator JOHN F. KERRY, as a baptized Catholic, has committed a court-martial offense under Canon Law by professing the Right-to-Murder heresy, commonly known as the "Right to Choose" doctrine. If you would like more information or to sign-on to the Class Action denunciation go to above link. (READ PAUL MARTIN IN CANADA)
What is a Denunciation?
A denunciation is roughly the equivalent of a criminal complaint in secular law. As private citizens, if we have knowledge of criminal activity we are required to report it to the proper authorities and cooperate with any subsequent investigation. At that point, we have discharged our obligation. We cannot take the law into our own hands and we have no right to demand a specific penalty in the event that the offender is found guilty. Generally speaking, the same is true in the Church's legal system.

John Paul II Tells US Bishops to Read the Signs of the Times
Please read the plea of Pope John Paul II in his exhortation to the US Bishops during their visit to Rome which follows, and help him evangelize. Ron and I have been working for some time to accumulate meaningful information about the End Times. We pray that such information will assist you in this endeavor.
VATICAN CITY, MAY 28, 2004 (Zenit.org) - The Church's educational and charitable institutions in the United States face the challenge of evangelizing "a society increasingly in danger of forgetting its spiritual roots," says John Paul II.
"The hour of the lay faithful" has arrived, the Pope said when meeting with bishops from the ecclesiastical provinces of Indianapolis, Chicago and Milwaukee, during their five-yearly visit to Rome.---
"Taking up this challenge, however, will require a realistic and comprehensive reading of the `signs of the times,' in order to develop a persuasive presentation of the Catholic faith," he observed.---
"Now is above all the hour of the lay faithful, who, by their specific vocation to shape the secular world in accordance with the Gospel, are called to carry forward the Church's prophetic mission by evangelizing the various spheres of family, social, professional and cultural life," the Holy Father said.
"Behold the source of every good, Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament, who says, If any man thirst, let him come to Me. Oh, what torrents of grace have the saints drawn from the fountain of the Most Blessed Sacrament! for there Jesus dispenses all the merits of his Passion, as it was foretold by the Prophet: You shall draw waters with joy out of the Saviour's fountains" (St. Alphonsus Liguori).
Mother Teresa -
Such a simple little teaching, but it is so important.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Remember Jess, meek and humble of heart. Fear and don't sin is of the saints. I have never regretted being gentle, but I have had qualms of conscience and had to confess when I was a bit severe. But when I say gentleness I do not mean permissiveness. That no! I mean the gentleness that makes discipline pleasant and which should never be neglected (GB 34).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Deification of self leads to hatred of God
"Nothing so blocks happiness and peace in the soul as a pampered ego. So much of what men call atheism is not so much the negation of God as the deification of ego. Every atheist believes in God, but the god is himself. Being surrounded with so many limitations, frustrations and weaknesses, he develops more and more a hatred for the God Who is the Shepherd seeking lost sheep among the brambles."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Today, I went to meditate before the Blessed Sacrament [in the sanatorium chapel]. When I approached the altar, God's presence pervaded my soul, I was plunged into the ocean of His divinity, and Jesus said to me, My daughter, all that exists is yours. I answered the Lord, "My heart wants nothing but You alone, O Treasure of my heart. For all the gifts You give me, thank you, O Lord, but I desire only Your Heart. Though the heavens are immense, they are nothing to me without You. You know very well, O Jesus, that I am constantly swooning because of my longing for You." Know this, My daughter, that you are already tasting now what other souls will obtain only in eternity. (969)
And all of a sudden, my soul was flooded with the light of the knowledge of God. Oh, would that I could express even a little of what my soul experiences when resting near the Heart of the incomprehensible Majesty! I cannot put it into words. Only a soul who has experienced such a grace at least once in is life, will recognize it. When I returned to my room, it seemed to me that I was coming from real life to death. When the doctor came to take my pulse, he was surprised: "Sister, what happened? You have never had a pulse like this! I would like to know what has speeded it up so much." What could I tell him, when I myself did not know that my pulse was so rapid. I only know that I am dying of yearning for God, but this I did not tell him, for how can medicine help in this instance? (970)

Dear Children, you are so preoccupied with material things that you lose everything
God wants to give you. Pray, then, dear children, for the gifts of the Holy Spirit. They are necessary so that you can give witness to my presence here, and to all that I give you. Dear children, abandon yourselves to me so that I can guide you completely. Do not worry so much about material things (WM 4-17-86).
Jesus also asks us not to worry about the material:
Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!
And do not keep striving for what you are to eat and what you are to drink, and do not keep worrying. For it is the nations of the world that strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, strive for his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well (Lk 12:27-31).
Reflection:
The psychiatrist Erich Fromm once wrote, "In the sphere of material things, giving means being rich. Not he who has much is rich, but he who gives much." Material possessions have great significance in our world. Not only do we strive to own a special car, an expensive watch, and far more clothes than we need, but we also think in terms of possessing our spouse, or our health, or happiness, or things that cannot be owned. Some of us have become addicted to buying and owning things. Rather than enriching us, this possessive mentality impoverishes us. Tangible things enrich us only when we use and share them to improve our lives and the lives of others. Wise people have known for thousands of years that an individual's spirituality is deeply affected by his relationship to his possessions. When we respect what we own as a gift from God and share it with others, we open the door to a much deeper spirituality.
Application:
Today, pray that you will hold your possessions loosely and with respect, so they can be used well and shared.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Trapped in our own comfort zone of discontent
"Suppose one took a paper and wrote down the number of times he succumbed to the vice of self-pity in a day. What a catalog of egotism it would be and what a revelation of character. On another page, one could write down those who were blamed for what was really our own fault. It could make one penitent, which means recognizing that the root of all our troubles lies within ourselves. How much do my neighbors have to put up with because of me, and how often does my egotism stand in the way of brotherly affection on their part? But a more serious question is: how often does this self-pity stand in the way of God's doing anything for me? I have so blocked up the cave of my mind that no light can enter. When the Master says to our Lazarus' soul, wrapped in the trappings of egotism, 'Come out,' we say, 'No, I want to stay here in the grave of my inner discontent.'"
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Today, I went to meditate before the Blessed Sacrament [in the sanatorium chapel]. When I approached the altar, God's presence pervaded my soul, I was plunged into the ocean of His divinity, and Jesus said to me, My daughter, all that exists is yours. I answered the Lord, "My heart wants nothing but You alone, O Treasure of my heart. For all the gifts You give me, thank you, O Lord, but I desire only Your Heart. Though the heavens are immense, they are nothing to me without You. You know very well, O Jesus, that I am constantly swooning because of my longing for You." Know this, My daughter, that you are already tasting now what other souls will obtain only in eternity. (969)
And all of a sudden, my soul was flooded with the light of the knowledge of God. Oh, would that I could express even a little of what my soul experiences when resting near the Heart of the incomprehensible Majesty! I cannot put it into words. Only a soul who has experienced such a grace at least once in is life, will recognize it. When I returned to my room, it seemed to me that I was coming from real life to death. When the doctor came to take my pulse, he was surprised: "Sister, what happened? You have never had a pulse like this! I would like to know what has speeded it up so much." What could I tell him, when I myself did not know that my pulse was so rapid. I only know that I am dying of yearning for God, but this I did not tell him, for how can medicine help in this instance? (970)

July - 12 PRAY THE ROSARY
To the prayer group on Mr. Podbrdo, the Blessed Mother speaks of the rosary:
Dear Children, your Mother is so happy tonight to see you all. I wish to call you
again to pray the rosary, and to pray this month especially, because I am in need of your prayers (VPG 5-7-90).
Jesus speaks of persevering prayer in this passage from Luke:
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. He said, "In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, `Grant me justice against my opponent.' For a while he refused; but later he said to himself, `Though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming."
And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them?" (Lk 18:1-8)
Reflection:
Fr. Albert Shamon tells the story of Austria's great Rosary Crusade that liberated the country from Soviet control. At the end of World War II, the victorious allies pulled out of Austria and left it in Soviet hands. After three years of tyranny the Austrian people could no longer bear the communist yoke, but they were helpless to do anything. Then a certain priest named Pater Petrus was put in mind of a revered Austrian hero, Don John, who credited the rosary with his miraculous defeat of the Ottoman turks at Lepanto in 1591, though he was outnumbered three to one.
And so Fr. Peurus called for a Rosary Crusade against the occupying Soviets. He asked for a tithe: that ten percent of the Austrians, 700,000, would pledge to offer a daily rosary for the withdrawal of Russian forces from their country. The needed ten percent, 700,000 Austrians, made the pledge, and the Rosary Crusade continued for seven years. And then, on May 13, 1955, the anniversary of the Fatima apparitions, the Russians withdrew from Austria. Their evacuation made no sense. Austria was a war prize, industrialized, strategically located, and rich in natural resources. To this day historians are baffled by the pullout.
Application:
Do not hesitate to offer the rosary for great intentions: world peace, an end to abortion, the conversion of sinners, and the special intentions of the Blessed Mother. It was for such intentions as these that Our Lady came to Medjugorje to seek our help.

more and more, to become souls of expiation and victim souls for those priests
and religious who fail You:
You who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
Apparitions of Our Lady - Rosa Mystica - at Montichiari-Fontanelle
Introduction by: Franz Sepeckbacher, Author of Booklet
Dear Readers, Our dear Mother of God has been appearing in
Montichiari-Fontanelle (Italy) since 1947, at a time when Faith is diminishing
more and more, and sins are on the increase at a most alarming speed. If you
ever visited one of the great places of pilgrimage, you will no doubt have
returned from it firmly convinced that you visited a place where Heaven touches
Earth. The many obvious favours received in answer to one's prayers are an
indirect proof that the apparitions and revelations are genuine. Perach, on the
Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady, Mary the Mother of God, December
8, 1983.
Apparitions of Our Lady at Montichiari
In the little town of Montichiari, not far from the picturesque Lake Garda,
which sit surrounded by mountains live 14,000 people. The town is situated at
the edge of these clear mountains from which it drives its name, and close to
the City of Brescia in the province of Lombardy, Northern Italy. It is from this
podium that our Heavenly Mother requested on December 8, 1947, that H.H. Pius
XII be notified of Her request that an Hour of Grace be observed every December
8th henceforth. In the Spring of 1947, whilst praying in the chapel of the local
hospital in Montichiari, nurse Pierina Gilli had an unforgettable experience.
Mary, the Mother of God, appeared to her in a wonderful vision and magnificent
light, as the exalted Lady, dressed in mauve, very sad and with tears in Her
eyes. Pierina noticed that Her heart was pierced by three swords; The first
sword means: the unworthy celebration of Holy Mass and Communion unworthily
received; the meaning of the second sword is: being unfaithful to, and giving
up, the vocation as a priest or a religious; and the third sword means: betrayal
of the Faith. Our Lady asked for Prayer, Sacrifice, and Penance. These were Her
only words.
Second Apparition on 13th July, 1947
Our Lady appeared to Pieina in a white dress. She was adorned with three
beautiful roses: white, red and yellow, which Pierina was allowed to see in
place of the three swords. The white rose represented the spirit of prayer, the
red one represented the spirit of sacrifice, and the yellow rose the spirit of
penance and conversion. Pierina had not yet recognized the Mother of God, and
she asked the apparition therefore: Please tell me, who are you?
In reply to this question She smiled and said: I am the Mother of Jesus and
the Mother of all of you. Our Lord sends me to bring a new Marian Devotion to
all religious orders and institutes, male and female, and to the priests of this
world. I promise to protect those religious orders and institutes who will
venerate me in this special way, increase their vocations, and achieve a greater
striving for saintliness among the servants of God. I wish that the 13th of each
month be celebrated as a Marian Day. Special prayers are to be said during the
proceeding twelve days.
With an expression of great joy, She continued: On this day I shall pour out
vocational holiness and abundant graces on those religious orders and spiritual
institutes who have honoured me especially. I wish that the 13th July be
celebrated each year in honour of the Rosa Mystica (the Mystical Rose).
Pierina asked whether a miracle would follow. Our Lady replied:
The most evident miracle will be this: Those who have given their souls to God -
the religious who, for a long time now, have become indifferent thus betraying
their vocation and as a result of their offenses have brought about the
punishments and persecutions which are raging against the Church at the present
time - will stop to offend Our Lord. They will again lead a life according to
the original spirit of their saintly founders.
The seer, Pierina, interpreted the words Mystical Rose as follows: "Mary is
the master teacher of the innermost, mystical life and the Mother of the
mystical body of Christ; in other words: She is the Mother of the Church." This
interpretation by Pierina was magnificently confirmed by Pope Paul VI in his
final speech during the third meeting of the council, on 21st November, l964.
Irrespective of the presence of observers from the separated Churches, he
declared Mary as the Mother of the Church; finally, he let his heart speak out
and said: We want that, in the future, the Most Blessed Virgin is still more
honoured under this title, and called by this lovely title by the Christian
people. This short, yet spiritually deep declaration, by the supreme office of
our Church guarantees that we cannot go wrong, but can only feel once more
reassured when we venerate Mary calling Her by the title ROSA MYSTICA.
Third Apparition on 22nd October, 1947
Pierina saw Our Lady again in the chapel of the hospital, in the presence of
many staff members, doctors, and people from the town. This time, Our Lady
requested that the desired devotion be realized, and said: I have placed myself
as the mediatrix between my Divine son and mankind, especially for the soul
consecrated to God. Tired of the continuous offenses, He already wanted to
dispense His justice.
Pierina thanked Our Lady in the name of all present. Our Lady finished Her
dialogue with the words; Live out of love!
Fourth Apparition on 16th November, 1947
Our Lady appeared in the Basilica of Montichiari in the presence of some people.
Among them were several priests. Pierina heard the words: Our Lord can no longer
watch the many grievous sins against purity. He wants to send a flood of
punishments. I have interceded that He may be merciful once more! Therefore, I
ask for prayer and penance to atone for these sins.
Pierina replied to Our Lady's request with a willing "Yes." The Blessed Virgin
added: I lovingly ask the priest to express their great love and stop the people
from committing those sins. Whoever will atone for those sins, will receive my
blessing and graces.
In reply the seer's question whether we may hope for forgiveness, Our Lady
said: Yes, as long as these sins are no longer committed. With these words She
went away.
Fifth Apparition on 22nd November, 1947
Our Lady appeared once more to Pierina in the Basilica of Montichiari in the
presence of several people, and demanded that the seer make four times the Sign
of the Cross with her tongue on the tiles in the center of the church. Our Lady
then descended onto the spot and said: I descend on this place, for many great
conversions will happen here. And in a sad voice She continued: The Christians
of your Italian nation belong to those who offend most my Divine Son Jesus
through their sins of unchastity. Our Lord demands, therefore, PRAYER, GENEROUS
SACRIFICES, AND PENANCE.
Pierina asked: "What do we have to do to fulfill your demands for prayer and
penance?" Our Lady replied full of tenderness: Prayer.
After a short, silent pause, She explained: Penance means to accept every day
all the little crosses and the duties too, in the spirit of penance.
Thereupon She promised solemnly:On the 8th December, at noon, I shall appear
again here in the Basilica. IT WILL BE THE HOUR OF GRACE. Pierina asked: "Please
explain to me the meaning of Hour of Grace". This Hour of Grace will produce
great and numerous conversions. Hardened and cold hearts resembling this marble
will be touched by divine Grace, and they will become faithful to Our Lord in
loyal love. This was the only time that Our Lady announced Her next appearance.
All other apparitions came unannounced.
Sixth Apparition on 7th December, 1947
Our Blessed Virgin appeared once more at the Basilica of Montichiari Three
people were present including the father confessor of the seer. Our Lady, the
Mystical Rose, wore a white cloak which was held by a boy at the right-hand
side, and by a girl on the left-hand side. Our Lady said: I shall show my heart
tomorrow of which the people know so little. In Fatima I asked that the devotion
to my heart be spread. And with an ever sweeter voice She went on: I wanted to
bring my heart into Christian families in Bonate: (near Bergamo, Italy) and
after a brief pause She added:Here, in Montichiari, I wish to be venerated as
the
ROSA MYSTICA
as already indicated so often, together with the devotion to my heart which must
be specially practiced in religious institutes so that they may obtain more
graces through my motherly heart.
Our Lady then confided a secret to Pierina with the promise that She would
tell her the time for the secret to be made public. Pierina also wanted to know
who the children were. Our Lady replied: Jacinta and Francisco; they will help
you in your trials and suffering. They too, suffered. I wish from you the
simplicity and goodness of these two children. Our Lady then spread out Her arms
as a sign of Her protection, lifted Her eyes to Heaven and disappeared with the
words:Praised be the Lord!
Seventh Apparition on 8th December, 1947.
On this great feast countless priests were present. It was only with a great
deal of effort that Pierina was able to get into the Basilica. She knelt in the
center of the church, just where the other apparitions had taken place. During
the recitation of the Holy Rosary, Pierina called out: "O, Our Lady!" Great
silence ensued! Our Lady appeared on a large white staircase, decorated with a
white, red and yellow rose. She said with a smile: I am the Immaculate
Conception. And descending several steps with great majesty She continued: I am
Mary, full of grace, Mother of My Divine Son Jesus Christ.
Descending even more, She said: Through my coming to Montichiari, I which to
be known as the
ROSA MYSTICA
It is my wish that every year, on 8th December, at noon, the HOUR OF GRACE FOR
THE WORLD be celebrated. Many divine and bodily graces will be received through
this devotion.
Our Lord, my Divine Son Jesus, will send His overflowing mercy if good people
will pray continuously for their sinful brother. One should very soon notify the
Holy Father of the Church, Pope Pius XII, that it is my wish that the HOUR OF
GRACE FOR THE WORLD be made known and spread throughout the world. If anyone is
unable to visit his church, yet will pray at noon at home, he will also receive
graces through me. Whoever prays on these tiles and weeps tears of penance, will
find a secure heavenly ladder and receive protection and grace through my
motherly heart.
Then Our Lady showed Pierina her heart and said: Look at this heart which loves
mankind so very much, but most people only shower offenses upon it. If the good
and the bad unite in prayer they will obtain mercy and peace through this heart.
The Lord is still protection the good and is holding back a great punishment
because of my intercession.Our Lady smiled again and went on: Soon one will
recognize the greatness of this Hour of Grace. When Pierina saw that Our Lady
was going to depart, she said: "Dear Lady, I thank you! Bless my homeland Italy
and the whole world, but especially the Holy Father, the priest, the religious,
and the sinners." Our Lady replied:I have already prepared a flood of graces for
all the children who listen to my words and keep them in their hearts. She
assured Pierina that she would return at a suitable time when the Secret
entrusted to her, would be made public through the Ecclesiastical authority. Our
Lady then said "good-bye." Pierina withdrew to a convent where, hidden from the
world, she served in the kitchen and where she waited in silence for the hour
which, as promised, came after 19 years, on White Sunday (Sunday after Easter),
17th April, 1966, in Fontanelle, a settlement of only a few houses spread around
and situated about 2-3 km outside Montichiari. Our Blessed Lady kept her
promise.
APPARITION AT FONTANELLE
First Apparition: White
Sunday, 17th April, 1966.
The Most Blessed Virgin said: My Divine Son is total love, and he is sending me
to give miraculous powers to this spring. As a sign of penance and purification
kiss the top step. Steps made of stone led down from the path to the spring.
Then descend a few steps and kiss the stone again. Our Lady followed the
seer.Now, for a third time, kiss the bottom step and have a crucifix placed
there.With Her left hand Our Lady indicated the spot. The sick and all my
children must kiss the crucifix and ask my Divine Son for forgiveness before
they take the water, or drink from it. Our Lady approached the spring and
said:Take mud into your hands. Wash yourself with water! This is to teach the
sinners that sin makes the soul dirty, yet the soul will be cleansed again
through the water of grace. Thus, the sinner will once more be pleasing to God.
What a clear symbol of the sacramental grace of God! Our Lady bowed down and
touched the water of the spring in two places. She added the following words:The
wishes expressed by my Son Jesus in 1947, are to made known to all my children.
Then I gave you His messages and mine in the Basilica (Montichiari). It is my
wish, and I repeat: the sick should come to this miraculous spring and many of
my children should come with them.
Second Apparition: 13th May, 1966.
On 13th May, Our Lady�?¢â�??¬â�??¢s anniversary of Her apparition at
Fatima, Our Lady brought great joy to Pierina when She appeared once again at
the spring, in the presence of about 20 people. It was 11:40 a.m. Our Lady said
amongst other things: One should make known my appearance at this spring. My
Divine Son is all love. The world is walking the road to perdition. Once again I
have been able to obtain mercy, and Jesus has sent me, therefore, again to
Montichiari to bring you the grace of His love... It requires PRAYER, SACRIFICE
AND PENANCE in order to save mankind. Our Lady, pointing to the water at Her
right-hand side which She had touched on 17th April, 1966, said:It is my wish
that a comfortable basin is built here, in order to immerse the sick in the
water... The other part of the spring (She pointed to Her left-hand side) is to
be used for drinking. Pierina wanted to know from the Blessed Virgin what to
call the spring. Thereupon Our Lady replied:
THE SPRING OF GRACE
And in reply to a further question: "What is your name?", Peirina was told:
ROSA MYSTICA
At these words, the Mother of God spread out Her arms, spread open Her wide
cloak, and said with a smile: I have come to bring love, unity and peace to the
souls of my children. I ask you, do not throw any mud on the love for your
fellow-man. The seer questioned the meaning of the wide cloak. Our lady
answered: This is the meaning of my love which embraces the whole of mankind.
Pierina asked: "What would you like us to do here at Fontanelle? Our Lady
replied: Do acts of charity for the sick who will come here.
Third Apparition: The Feast of Corpus Christi,
9th June, 1966
About 100 people were present at the spring on this Day of Obligation. Pierina
came to the Shrine after 3 p.m. and asked all those present to recite the Holy
Rosary. Suddenly, in the middle of the recitation, Pierina called out: "Look up
to the sky!" This time, Our Lady appeared five to six meters above the spring
over a wheat field. Those present noticed that, in the direction of the seer's
eyes, Our Lady seemed to touch the ears of the wheat with Her feet. Our Lady
said: My Divine Son Jesus Christ has sent me here today, on the Feast of the
Body of Our Lord, on the Feast of Unity and Love. Spreading out Her hand She
continued: I should like very much that this wheat be transformed into the
Eucharistic bread, into countless penitential communions. Majestically, lifting
Her eyes to Heaven, Our Lady went on: It is my wish that the Hosts made of this
wheat, be taken to Rome, and to Fatima for the 13th October. Pierina asked:
"Should all this wheat be used for it?" Our Lady replied: May noble hearts
fulfill my wish. I wish that a chapel be built here with a statue facing the
spring. Pierina said: "Dear Blessed Virgin, I do not understand." Our Lady
showed her an image and said: The statue is to be carried here in a procession
on 13th October, but prior to it, it is my wish that the people of Montichiari
consecrate themselves to my heart. Montichiari is the place which my Divine Son
has chosen for me to distribute His graces. Pierina saw that Our Lady was going
to leave, so she asked Her to stay a little longer. Our Lady lingered, and
Pierina was allowed to commend several petitions and to request Our
Lady�?¢â�??¬â�??¢s blessing for the priests, the faithful, and the
sick.
Fourth Apparition: The Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord, 6th August,
1966
Pierina came to the spring at about 2:30 p.m. About 200 people had gathered
there. At 3 p.m. the seer asked all to recite the Holy Rosary. During the fourth
mystery she stopped, and called out: "Our Lady is here." Everyone was silent,
and they all listened with emotion to the dialogue with Heaven. The Mother of
God said: My Divine Son Jesus has sent me again, in order to request the

"Dear children! Today also I call each one of you to decide to surrender again everything completely to me. Only that way will I be able to present each of you to God. Dear children, you know that I love you immeasurably and that I desire each of you for myself, but God has given to all a freedom which I lovingly respect and humbly submit to. I desire, dear children, that you help so that everything God has planned in this parish shall be realized. If you do not pray, you shall not be able to recognize my love and the plans which God has for this parish and for each individual. Pray that Satan does not entice you with his pride and deceptive strength. I am with you and I want you to believe me, that I love you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
"Make use of devotion to the Blessed Sacrament as a means of persevering in the practice of virtue. Let us go to Him toward evening and tell Him about our shortcomings, let us ask Him for help and forgiveness. Our Lord loves us, He thinks of us constantly, and His glance follows us every moment of the day"
(Rafael Cardinal Merry del Val, Servant of God).
Mother Teresa -
Whatever you do, even if you help somebody cross the road, you do it to Jesus.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
To lack charity is to wound the pupil of God's eye. What is more delicate than the pupil of the eye? To lack charity is like sinning against nature (AdFP 555).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
The difference between Pity and Penitence
"Both Peter and Judas did deny the Master and both repented or were sorry. But the Greek word used in the Scripture is not the same in both instances. Judas repented unto himself - he had self-pity. Peter repented unto the Lord - he had penitence, sorrow and a desire for amendment. Peter cleaned the weeds out of the garden, but Judas killed the nocturnal brood of remorseful serpents in his breast by hanging himself."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
O Lord, I feel your grace and Your peace filling my poor soul. I feel overwhelmed by Your mercy, O Lord. You forgive me, which is more than I dared to hope for or could imagine. Your goodness surpasses all my desires. And now, filled with gratitude for so many graces. I invite You to my heart. I wandered, like a prodigal child gone astray; but you did not cease to be my Father. Increase Your mercy toward me, for You see how weak I am.
Jesus: Child, speak no more of your misery; it is already forgotten. Listen, My child, to what I desire to tell you. Come close to My wounds and draw from the Fountain of Life whatever your heart desires. Drink copiously from the Fountain of Life and you will not weary on your journey. Look at the splendors of My mercy and do not fear the enemies of your salvation. Glorify My mercy. (1485b)

July 11 - ST. BENEDICT, ABBOT
The Blessed Mother gave Jelena this explanation after she saw a beautiful pearl divide itself. Each half sparkled and then faded away:
Jelena, everyone's heart is like this lovely pearl. When one belongs completely to the Lord, one shines even in the darkness. But when one is divided a little to Satan, a little to sin, a little to everything one's heart fades away and becomes worthless. (LJM 6-15-85)
And from the book of Revelation:
I know your works; you are neither hot nor cold. I wish you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold not hot, I will spit you out of my mouth. (Rv 3:15-16)
Reflection:
St. Benedict, the father of Western monasticism, was known for his steadfast loyalty and love of the Lord, and he carefully inculcated these virtues in his friars. Born in 480 and educated in Rome, he began the monastic life at Subiaco where he gathered disciples, and then departed for Monte Cassino. There he established the famous monastery and composed the Benedictine Rule, which spread throughout Europe.
His undivided faith, which Our Lady calls us to today, can be easily discerned in his writing. From the Rule of St. Benedict:
What could be more delightful, dearest brothers, than the voice of Our Lord's invitation to us? In his loving kindness he reveals to us the way of life. And so, girded with faith and the performance of good works, let us follow in his paths by the guidance of the gospel; then we shall deserve to see him who has called us unto his kingdom. If we wish to attain a dwelling-place in his kingdom we shall not reach it unless we hasten there by our good deeds.
Application:
Today, pray for an undivided heart that expresses itself in good deeds for others.

Words of Jesus (taken by Victoria Spalding – St. Mary of the Assumption Healing Service) July 8, 2008
My people, I am your God of mercy and love. Too often you come here afraid of what the future holds and of what others may think of you or say about you. But my children, I want you to love Me with your whole heart. I want you to share the Good News of salvation with one another.
My dear people, I am with you now, as you read these words, and as you come forward for Fr. Foley’s blessing. Do not be afraid to salute one another with the kiss of peace that I have given you during the Mass. This kiss of peace is often forgotten once you leave the Church. But if you remember how often I come to you in your daily living, then you will salute one another with my words of peace and love.
I am with you, my children, giving you my heartfelt mercy and affection for you, through this message you have received and through my never ending love for you. I am also giving you a way back to Me, through this blessing that you have received tonight at the end of Mass and through the laying on of hands that you will receive during the individual blessing, which I shall confer upon you through Fr. Foley and all my priests.
I am with you, my dear children, inviting you now to step forward in your life with Me and to be forgiving of one another, as I have forgiven you.
I love you, my dear children. Go in peace.
REFLECTION
Many of us here may be afraid to witness to Christ for several reasons. Maybe we are afraid of what others will say about us, or that we will be persecuted, or looked upon differently, or even left out of the crowd. But the only way that others will experience Christ truly present in our midst is through our actions towards one another, through the witness of our lives as Catholic Christians.
Bringing Christ to others doesn’t mean we have to preach or even use words. But it does mean that we have to live our Christian faith by being kind and merciful towards one another. Jesus said that one way to do this can be as simple as saluting one another with the kiss of peace. This is how Jesus greeted His disciples after His resurrection. In the early Church, the Christians greeted each other with the words “Peace be with you.” Jesus taught his apostles to use this greeting when entering a town or a home. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we greeted each other the same way?
The world is starving for peace. If you find yourself in disunity with someone, pray for a peaceful solution and relational healing. God is a God of peace, and He will quickly come to your aid! And pray the rosary for peace in the world. Our soldiers are in harm’s way every day because of violence and hatred.
Jesus said during the end of this message, that He wants us to forgive one another, as He has forgiven us. I think truly the greatest witness we can give, in order to show that we believe in Christ’s mercy, is to forgive our enemies.
God is always offering us a way back to Him, and the greatest way He does that is through His priests and His sacraments for us. So remember when the priest reaches out to you in his blessing, that Christ is reaching out to you through His priests!
May God be praised now and forever! Amen.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace! Amen

MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,
I GREET YOU THIS NIGHT WITH A DEEP AND COMPASSIONATE LOVE. YOU COME TO
ME AS WOUNDED CHILDREN AND YOUR HEARTS CARRY MUCH SORROW. LITTLE ONES,
YOU GRIEVE FOR ONE THAT WAS TAKEN FROM YOU, YET I SAY TO YOU, YOUR
SORROW WILL TURN INTO GLADNESS AND YOU WILL PRAISE GOD FOR HIS LOVE
AND MERCY. EACH HEART I KNOW. NOT ALL UNDERSTAND THE GRIEF OF OTHERS.
BUT I UNDERSTAND AND THEREFORE INITIATE THAT YOU ONCE MORE BE FOR EACH
OTHER. I HAVE TREMENDOUS LOVE FOR YOU. I LOVE ALSO MY BELOVED PRIEST -
SONS. EACH ONE WHO CARRIES THE TRUTH AND LOVES MY SON COMPLETELY,
UNSELFISHLY, HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART. THOSE WHO REMAIN ALOOF
FROM THE TRUTH ARE NOT CAPABLE OF LOVING JESUS WITH TOTAL SURRENDER.
BECAUSE THEY LACK IN THIS LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING, THEY LACK IN SERVING
THEIR FLOCKS. YOU HAVE BEEN SET ASIDE THAT THEY RECEIVE THE BENEFITS
OF YOUR PRAYERS AND SUFFERINGS, THAT THEY MAY NOT BE LOST.
LET ME ENCOURAGE YOU TO TRUST. YOU ARE NOT ABANDONED, BUT WILL BE
TAKEN CARE OF THAT YOU DO NOT LOSE HEART. GIVE ME YOUR GRIEF AND
SORROWS AND I WILL BRING YOU PEACE.
I LOVE YOU MY CHILDREN. I LOVE YOU WITH A TRUE AND DEEP LOVE. I
EMBRACE YOU AND BLESS YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE
