FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"I am the Messiah"
Saturday, July 26, 2008
Dear Friends,
"This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines human precepts." Mark 7: 6 - 7
It was hot and humid yesterday and we had rain in the late afternoon and during the night. It is cloudy this morning but it is clearing up in the west, which means that we should see the sun in the afternoon.
The message that follows is a quotation from Joseph. Jesus spoke to him saying, "The sin of Adam and Eve closed heaven to all their descendants. They had offended their Creator who gave them all they had. No purely human being could atone for this horrible sin that almost destroyed the whole world.
It weakened the moral strength of human beings and it brought death into the world. Every human being would die as a result of this sin. The mind of man would be darkened and he would be attracted to sin.
There was no salvation for the human race unless a Messiah, a Saviour, would come to atone for the sins of the world. The Father had announced the coming of a Saviour soon after the sin of Adam and Eve. The people would have to wait until they were ready for the Messiah to come.
I am the Messiah, the Saviour, sent by the Father to redeem you. Although I am the divine Son of God, I took a human nature and was born of the Virgin Mary just like every human being. When I reached thirty years of age, then I began My public life and carried out My mission given to Me by the Father on your behalf.
I was born in Israel among a people especially selected by My Heavenly Father and prepared to receive the Messiah. However, the majority of the Jewish people of the time rejected Me and had Me killed. I offered My suffering and My death on the cross as the sacrifice to the Father for your redemption.
I paid the price for your sins, which is death. My sacrifice was accepted by the Father so that the gates of heaven were opened and all those who believed in Me could be saved if they repented of their sins and followed Me. I am the only Saviour of the human race. I have come to show you the horror of sin and the necessity to repent of them all. If you accept Me, you have the grace you need to avoid sin and to live a moral life. Call on Me every day and I will help you."

Plant joy and the fruit of joy will grow in your hearts for your good, and others will see it and receive it through your life. Renounce sin and choose eternal life. I am with you and intercede for you before my Son. Thank you for having responded to my call." 01/2008

Annual Apparition To Mirjana - March 18, 2008
The visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo had daily apparitions from June 24th 1981 to December 25th 1982. During the last daily apparition, Our Lady gave her the 10th secret, and told her that she would appear to her once a year, on the 18th of March. It has been this way through the years.
This year several thousand pilgrims gathered to pray the Rosary at the Cenacolo Community in Medjugorje. The apparition lasted from 14:01 to 14:08.
Mirjana transmitted the following:
I have never seen Our Lady address us in this manner. She extended her hands towards us and with her hands extended in this way, she said:
"Dear children, today I extend my hands towards you. Do not be afraid to accept them. They desire to give you love and peace and to help you in salvation. Therefore, my children, receive them. Fill my heart with joy and I will lead you towards holiness. The way on which I lead you is difficult and full of temptations and falls.
I will be with you and my hands will hold you. Be persevering so that, at the end of the way, we can all together, in joy and love, hold the hands of my Son. Come with me; fear not. Thank you."
Message of March 25, 2008 "Dear children! I call you to work on your personal conversion. You are still far from meeting with God in your heart. Therefore, spend all the more time in prayer and Adoration of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, for Him to change you and to put into your hearts a living faith and a desire for eternal life. Everything is passing, little children, only God is not passing. I am with you and I encourage you with love. Thank you for having responded to my call." 03/2008
Message of April 25, 2008 "Dear children! Also today, I call all of you to grow in God's love as a flower which feels the warm rays of spring. In this way, also you, little children, grow in God's love and carry it to all those who are far from God.
Seek God's will and do good to those whom God has put on your way, and be light and joy. Thank you for having responded to my call." 04/2008
Message of May 25, 2008 "Dear children! In this time of grace, when God has permitted me to be with you, little children, I call you anew to conversion. Work on the salvation of the world in a special way while I am with you.
God is merciful and gives special graces, therefore, seek them through prayer. I am with you and do not leave you alone. Thank you for having responded to my call." 05/2008
Message of June 25, 2008 "Dear children! Also today, with great joy in my heart, I call you to follow me and to listen to my messages. Be joyful carriers of peace and love in this peaceless world.

English Messages From 2007
Message of January 25, 2007 "Dear children! Put Sacred Scripture in a visible place in your family and read it. In this way, you will come to know prayer with the heart and your thoughts will be on God. Do not forget that you are passing like a flower in a field, which is visible from afar but disappears in a moment. Little children, leave a sign of goodness and love wherever you pass and God will bless you with an abundance of His blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call." 01/2007
Message of February 25, 2007 "Dear children! Open your heart to God’s mercy in this Lenten time. The Heavenly Father desires to deliver each of you from the slavery of sin. Therefore, little children, make good use of this time and through meeting with God in confession, leave sin and decide for holiness.
Do this out of love for Jesus, who redeemed you all with His blood, that you may be happy and in peace. Do not forget, little children: your freedom is your weakness, therefore follow my messages with seriousness. Thank you for having responded to my call." 02/2007
The Annual Apparition Of Our Lady To Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo On March 18, 2007

I desire that, through love, our hearts may triumph together. I desire that through that triumph you may see the real Truth, the real Way and the real Life. I desire that you may see my Son. Thank you."
Our Lady blessed all of us and all religious articles. Again She emphasized that it is only Her Motherly blessing and She asked for daily prayers for those whom She said «my Son has chosen and blessed». Mirjana clarified that she thought Our Lady was referring to priests.
Message of March 25, 2007 "Dear children! I desire to thank you from my heart for your Lenten renunciations. I desire to inspire you to continue to live fasting with an open heart. By fasting and renunciation, little children, you will be stronger in faith.

Volume V Lesson #3
At Villa St. Michael, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament
December 2, l994
THE SEED OF LOVE
My dear little one, I desire My people to come to Me, to take time for Me, to slow down and move at a pace which allows them to absorb the goodness of My Father present in everything. It is necessary to nurture and cultivate the seed of love infused by the Father. How do you nurture the seed planted by Love? Your desire to allow the seed to grow and blossom opens the aqueducts of Love to water and feed the soul.
My Father instills in you Love. His goodness draws your will to Love. He draws your intellect to ponder Him in contemplation. Everything which is good comes from the Father. You could not love if the Father did not will it. You could not love Him if He did not draw you to Himself.
Therefore, in contemplation you gain admiration and devotion to His Love. His works of love are not founded only on prayer and admiration but in deeds. What fruit in love is there without action and charity? My Father gave Love to you. If He draws you to Love and you keep it to yourself it will die.
The seed of love must be nurtured and watered through action. The fruit will not blossom unless the soil is tilled and watered. So too is it with love. If you have fidelity in love to the Father, you have not only contemplation and admiration but acts of charity in deeds.
It is necessary to realize that your weaknesses and imperfections are not driven away, because they are the fuel to sprouting the fruit of humility and chasing the Love of the Father. In your weaknesses you remember you are nothing without Love, and it is the Father who deepens Love in you.
You chase after Him desiring to belong totally to Him, to live in total union with Him. Your heart longs for Love. You no longer want only the blessings of God, but you crave God Himself. God is all of yours, and now you ask when will you be all of God's. O' the wonder of Love, to desire to belong to God totally!
I desire that My people slow to a pace of contemplation and admiration of LOVE, love of the Father. No one knows the Father except the Son and whoever the Son chooses to reveal the Father. I desire to introduce the Father to all those who desire "LOVE". I am Love. I am One with the Father.
I am yours. Will you be Mine? Will you allow Me to bring you to My sweet loving Father? Once you know the Father you will never desire anything other than what Love desires. I bless you, little one, and I bless all My people. Peace.
AD DEUM.

LOVE OF GOD IS LOVE OF NEIGHBOR
My little one, My love for you will never cease. My love for My people will never cease. I carry the wounds in My Most Sacred Heart from all the division and wicked ways so many have chosen to pursue. But in My love I will never turn from them, for My door is open to all who desire to enter.
It is My people who cease to grow in My love and cease loving Me. They are imperfect in love and grow slack in their journey when they cease to love their neighbor and render service to them. When you withdraw charity from your neighbor because there is no consolation for your own profit, your love is impure.
The amount of love you share with your neighbor through charity and unconditional service is proportional to the amount of love you have for Me. To have the treasure of eternal life in Me your love must be pure.
I love all unconditionally and reward each according to their labor of love. Do you not see, little one, that virtues are developed through openness and unconditional charity to one another? Few arrive at the optimum perfection of love because they first seek self-love and give only as a result of what they can receive in return.
How blessed are those who desire Me by giving unconditionally to their neighbor the charity and love so much needed. Blessed are those who do not seek self-love but self-knowledge in the truth of My Divinity. Blessed are those who venture in My love, risking all entities beneficial to themselves without seeking consolation in return.
These are My people who trust in My Divine Mercy and humbly submit to My Will. I have so much to give but few who will truly remain faithful to Me without turning away. Many desire Me but then close the door to their hearts when opportunities do not prove profitable for them.
Little one, today in My lesson to My people I want them to know that the amount of love they render in charity to their neighbor is the amount of love they have for Me. Ponder My Words and recognize your position with your neighbor.
Evaluate your self-love which consists of conditions, and strive to love as I am Love. Practice! Purity of heart rises from unconditional service and charity. Perfection of love will become the gem which will brighten the path to the throne of God the Father. Peace, little one. My love to My beloved People.
AD DEUM.
