TODAY'S PROPHECY MEDITATIONS

Test! Discern The Spirit!

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE The gift of unity

Wednesday, July 30, 2008

Dear Friends, "I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me." John 17: 20 - 21

I will quote Joseph again for today's message. Jesus spoke to him these words, "When I was on earth I prayed fervently to My Father in heaven for all of you. My prayer was that you would have the gift of faith to believe in Me with all your heart. It is necessary for salvation that you accept Me as Your Saviour and as the Son of God.

I prayed that you would believe all the words I addressed to you without any doubt and you will live according to what I taught you. I also desire that you be My messenger to all the people you meet and show by your words and your conduct that you are My follower.

Many of those who believed in Me in the past have now rejected Me. They stopped praying and going to church and live as atheists. This is because their lives do not conform to the commandments of God for they have said yes to the temptations of the evil one. If one stops praying, he or she will be tempted and they will not have the strength to say no to the devil. It is necessary to pray and to ask for the graces you need to continue following the right path.

Prayer for you is as important as oxygen is for your life. Once a person has lost the faith, it is not possible to ask to receive this gift again. It is you, My friend, who has to pray for him or her.

Before My death on the cross, I prayed for unity among all those who would believe in Me. Today there are many who profess their faith in Me but they are separated from many of My followers. There are many groups in the world and they keep on fighting among themselves. Pray that they will unite with the Church I founded and all will have the same faith and be members of My Church.

At this time they are a scandal to the world and an obstacle to the conversion and salvation of the peoples of the world. Turn to the Father and pray urgently for a change of heart among many of My followers." Father Melvin

Medjugorje Day By Day July 30 - FOLLOW THE SHEPHERD

The womb of Our Immaculate Mother Mary is "wholly untouched, not dug nor sown, from heaven's dew alone, it brings forth a Savior, and provides mortal men with the Bread of angels and the food of eternal life" (St. Irenaeus).

Mother Teresa - He could know all possible knowledge, and all of theology and all the things about God, but we would not be able to light a fire in the hearts of the people. We could just be uttering words, not living those words. That is why it is necessary for us that our words be the fruit of our life, the fruit of our prayers. "

Meditations by Padre Pio - In order to attract us the Lord gives us many graces and we imagine we are almost in Heaven. We do not know, however, that to grow we need hard bread, crosses, humiliations, trials and contradictions (FSP 86).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Passion is blind without knowledge "Passion is not a reflex like the watering of a dog's mouth in the presence of food. It is true that there are many similarities between passion in animals and passion in man, but it must never be forgotten that in man, passion cannot operate unless something is known."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - During meditation, the Lord gave me knowledge of the joy of heaven and of the saints on our arrival there; they love God as the sole object of their love, but they also have a tender and heartfelt love for us. It is from the face of God that this joy flows out upon all, because we see Him face to face. His face is so sweet that the soul falls anew into ecstasy. (1592)

The Lord Himself moves me to write prayers and hymns about His mercy, and these hymns of praise force themselves upon His mercy, and these hymns of praise force themselves upon my lips. I have noticed that ready-formulated words of praise of God's mercy enter my mind, and so I have resolved to write them down in so far as is within my power, I can feel God urging me to do so. (1593)

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 30 - FOLLOW THE SHEPHERD

Mary asks us not to fear, but to follow the Good Shepherd:

Dear children, sometimes you oppress your hearts with certain matters, but this is not necessary. Sometimes you are frightened by this or that, but again, why do you need that? Who is with Jesus need not fear. Do not worry or be anxious about what will happen tomorrow or a few years from now. Abandon yourselves to Jesus, for only that way can you be the faithful sheep that follow their Shepherd (Locutionists Jelena & Mirjana March 1, 1987).

And in John's gospel, Jesus also speaks of the Good Shepherd: I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep (Jn 10: 14-15).

Reflection:

At night, sheep in ancient Israel were gathered into a sheepfold to protect them from thieves, weather, or wild animals. The sheepfolds were caves, sheds, or open areas surrounded by low walls made of stones or branches.

The shepherd slept in the fold to protect the sheep, often at the entrance. Wild animals could not get in, nor the sheep get out, without alerting him. He was, literally, the "sheepgate." Jesus' listeners were aware of the shepherd's role and his dedication in protecting his flock. In speaking of himself as the Good Shepherd, Christ also evoked the comforting images of Psalm 23, which he and his followers may well have known by heart. Application: The following is a poetic version on the 23rd Psalm. Pray it with the heart, as Our Lady asks, that is may calm any anxiety:
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
he leadeth me beside the still waters;
he restoreth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow mev all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
for years without end (King James Version).

My child the words you are to convey are true.

The sins that pierce my heart are many and great. And there are few who seek to console me and offer reparation to my Son.

I weep for my children for I can no longer hold back the hand of my Son or stay the justice of God.

Medjugorje Day By Day July 28 - THE LIFE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH

On my knees, humbly in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, I experienced great devotion at the thought that Christ was really present there in body and that, as a consequence, the whole Trinity was present there in a wonderful way that is not found in other things and places.

Other things such as images, holy water, and churches bring us in a spiritual manner the presence of Christ, of the saints, and of spiritual powers; but the Blessed Sacrament brings us in a real manner under these appearances the presence of Christ with all the power of God. May his name be blessed!" (Bl. Peter Favre).

Mother Teresa -- We need to be someone for the destitute who not only lack a roof over their heads, but who are deprived of having someone who cares, someone to belong to.

Meditations by Padre Pio - Vainglory is an enemy that assails those who have consecrated themselves to the Lord and embrace the spiritual life. Hence it can rightly be called the consuming moth of souls tending to perfection. The saints refer to it as the woodworm of holiness (Letters 1 p 445).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - If we don't know about something we can't get passionate about it!

"Passion cannot operate unless we have an idea about something. A woman will not `get mad' at a bargain counter, unless she knows that someone is getting the better selection. We speak of people becoming `enthused' about some idea - and an idea is knowledge. No one undergoes the passion of sadness without first having a knowledge of a loss or a disaster."

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

My Jesus, You see that Your holy will is everything to me. It makes no difference to me what You do with me. You command me to set to work-and I begin calmly, although I know that I am incapable of it; through Your representatives, You order me to wait-so I wait patiently; You fill my soul with enthusiasm-but You do not make it possible for me to act; You attract me to Yourself in heaven-and You leave me in this world; You pour into my soul a great yearning for Yourself-and You hide Yourself from me.

I am dying of the desire to be united with You forever, and You do not let death come near me. O will of God, You are the nourishment and delight of my soul. When I submit to the holy will of my God, a deep peace floods my soul.

O my Jesus, You do not give a reward for the successful performance of a work, but for the good will and the labor undertaken. Therefore, I am completely at peace, even if all my undertakings and efforts should be thwarted or should come to naught. If I do all that is in my power, the rest is not my business. And therefore the greatest storms do not disturb the depths of my peace; the will of God dwells in my conscience. (952)

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 28 - THE LIFE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH

The kingdom of Heaven, Our Lady says, begins on earth

If you would abandon yourselves to me, you will not even feel the passage from this life to the next. You will begin to life of heaven on earth. (Locutionist Jelena & Mirjana 1986).

Christ also speaks of the kingdom in Luke's gospel:

On their return the apostles told Jesus all they had done. He took them with him and withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida. When the crowds found out about it, they followed him; and he welcomed them, and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed to be cured (Lk 9: 10-11).

Reflection:

The kingdom of God was focal point of Christ's teachings. He explained that it was not just a future kingdom: it was among them, embodied in him, the Messiah.

Even though the kingdom will not be complete until Christ comes again in glory, we can experience a foretaste of it, for the kingdom begins in the hearts of those who believe in the Son of God. Thus it is as present with us today as it was with Christ's hearers two thousand years ago.

This is the meaning of Our Lady's message today: when the Spirit of God takes root in a heart that is abandoned to him, the kingdom of God is experienced within.

Application:

Reflect on the following today: See, this kingdom of God is now found within us. The grace of the Holy Spirit shines forth and warms us, and, overflowing with many varied scents into the air around us, regales our senses with heavenly delight, as it fills our hearts with joy inexpressible (Seraphim of Sarov).

Remain Wary At All Times - Go With My Angels

"The turning away of little ones shall kill them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But he that shall hear me, shall rest without terror, and shall enjoy abundance, without fear of evils." (Cf. Pro 1:32-33)

Louise Tomkiel (1) July 14, 2007

L. began to receive a message and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood."

Then your Father spoke, "Children, DO NOT have a schedule for your daily coming and going for you are being scrutinized! DO NOT travel alone at night!
DO NOT be over friendly and DO NOT speak to everyone --- for too many people --- you are a target!
BE VERY WARY while driving, working, in stores AND parking lots!
If your telephone line opens --- HANG UP!
STAY in lighted areas!
Evil LURKS everywhere!
Satan NEVER rests! He WANTS YOU!
Take My Holy Angels with you EVERY WHERE you go!
Listen to Me! Obey Me! These words, these warnings ARE CRUCIAL!".

End of message.

At the Yahoo Era Of Peace web site: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/era-of-peace On Tomkiel's, Leary's and Ameche's Messages Being Frightening; And Thus, Untrue

We receive a number of responses from people who discount certain messages from Heaven as being true simply because they deem them to be frightening. Surprisingly, this is true of both those messages yet-to-be-approved, as well as those that have been approved by the Church.

This piece is written for those people who find certain messages to be frightening --- specifically, the messages imparted through Louise Tomkiel (1), John Leary (2) and Carol Ameche (3).

We are humans; and as such, are imperfect. God is perfect in every way. If we as parents would warn our children of impending danger, how much more would Our Heavenly Father warn us?

Remember that Our Heavenly Father is as merciful and loving as He is omni-potent.

Note that just as the Apocalypse of John is a book of hope (We win!!!) --- so too, each of Tomkiel's, Leary's and Ameche's messages are messages of hope. Yes, He warns us of terrible things that may befall mankind if he does not repent --- but in the messages He always (especially when taken as a whole) states that He will protect His Faithful Remnant.

Lot was a faithful man. Did God not warn Lot about His impending destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah? Would you consider a message about the complete and utter destruction of two cities as 'frightening'? Yet we find such a message within the Holy Bible:

"But the men put forth their hands and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door. And they struck with blindness the men who were at the door of the house, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves groping for the door.

Then the men said to Lot, "Have you any one else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or any one you have in the city, bring them out of the place; for we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it." So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, "Up, get out of this place; for the LORD is about to destroy the city."

But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting. When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city."

But he lingered; so the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him forth and set him outside the city. And when they had brought them forth, they said, "Flee for your life; do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley; flee to the hills, lest you be consumed."

And Lot said to them, "Oh, no, my lords; behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life; but I cannot flee to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me, and I die.

Behold, yonder city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there--is it not a little one?--and my life will be saved!" He said to him, "Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken. Make haste, escape there; for I can do nothing till you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zo'ar. The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zo'ar.

Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomor'rah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. But Lot's wife behind him looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD; and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomor'rah and toward all the land of the valley, and beheld, and lo, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace.

So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt." (Cf. Gen 19:10-29)

God warned His Faithful in advance of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah; He protected His Faithful first; and then utterly destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Once again, we direct your attention to the Old Testament, especially the prophetic texts therein --- Joel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, Daniel, Amos, Ezekiel, Malachi, etc., and the prophetic texts of the New Testament --- Mat 24, Mark 13, Luk 21, Joh 16 --- as well as, the Apocalypse (Revelation). You might revisit these and the other prophetic texts.

Consider Ezekiel 9 which speaks of the End Times:

"Then he cried loud for me to hear: Come, you scourges of the city! With that I saw six men coming from the direction of the upper gate which faces the north, each with a destroying weapon in his hand. In their midst was a man dressed in linen, with a writer's case at his waist. They entered and stood beside the bronze altar.

Then he called to the man dressed in linen with the writer's case at his waist, saying to him: Pass through the city (through Jerusalem) and mark an X on the foreheads of those who moan and groan over all the abominations that are practiced within it.

To the others I heard him say: Pass through the city after him and strike! Do not look on them with pity nor show any mercy! Old men, youths and maidens, women and children--wipe them out! But do not touch any marked with the X; begin at my sanctuary.

So they began with the men (the elders) who were in front of the temple. Defile the temple, he said to them, and fill the courts with the slain; then go out and strike in the city. As they began to strike, I was left alone. I fell prone, crying out, Alas, Lord GOD! Will you destroy all that is left of Israel when you pour out your fury on Jerusalem?" He answered me:

The sins of the house of Israel are great beyond measure; the land is filled with bloodshed, the city with lawlessness. They think that the LORD has forsaken the land, that he does not see them. I, however, will not look upon them with pity, nor show any mercy. I will bring down their conduct upon their heads. Then I saw the man dressed in linen with the writing case at his waist make his report: "I have done as you ordered." (Cf. Eze 9:2-11)

Consider also, the many plagues of the Apocalypse (which are antitypes of the plagues of Exodus):

"Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth; they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads; they were allowed to torture them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man. And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death will fly from them.

In appearance the locusts were like horses arrayed for battle; on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; they had scales like iron breastplates, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle.

They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power of hurting men for five months lies in their tails. They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abad'don, and in Greek he is called Apol'lyon. The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.

Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphra'tes." So the four angels were released, who had been held ready for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, to kill a third of mankind.

The number of the troops of cavalry was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. And this was how I saw the horses in my vision: the riders wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulphur, and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulphur issued from their mouths.

By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulphur issuing from their mouths. For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; their tails are like serpents, with heads, and by means of them they wound.

The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot either see or hear or walk; nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their immorality or their thefts." (Cf. Rev 9:3-21)

Further, we have seen the Church provide its approval of certain heavenly messages, which speak of terrible events if man fails to respond properly to the warnings of God. Your attention is directed to LaSalette, Akita and Our Lady of All Nations:

Our Lady of LaSalette - Approved by the Church as worthy of belief

Our Lady appeared to two children and spoke of a forthcoming chastisement from heaven if man did not repent. She stated that this chastisement would be worse than the deluge, and in fact the worst that the world has ever encountered. She also predicted the rise of Communism at the end of the 19th or beginning of the 20th century. She also said:

"The priests, ministers of my Son, the priests, by their wicked lives, by their irreverence and their impiety in the celebration of the holy mysteries, by their love of money, their love of honors and pleasures, the priests have become cesspools of impurity. Yes, the priests are asking vengeance, and vengeance is hanging over their heads. Woe to the priests and to those dedicated to God who by their unfaithfulness and their wicked lives are crucifying my Son again. ---"

"God will strike in an unprecedented way."

"The true faith to the Lord having been forgotten, each individual will want to be on his own and be superior to people of same identity. They will abolish civil rights as well as ecclesiastical. All order and all justice would be trampled underfoot, and only homicides, hate, jealousy, lies and dissension would be seen, without love for country or family."

"The Holy Father will suffer a great deal. I will be with him until the end and receive his sacrifice."

"The mischievous would attempt his life several times to do harm and shorten his days but neither him nor his successor will see the triumph of the Church of God."

"At the first blow of His thundering sword, the mountains and all Nature will tremble in terror, for the disorders and crimes of men have pierced the vault of the heavens. Paris will burn and Marseille will be engulfed. Several cities will be shaken down and swallowed up by earthquakes. People will believe that all is lost. Nothing will be seen but murder; nothing will be heard but the clash of arms and blasphemy."

"The earth will be struck by calamities of all kinds (in addition to plague and famine which will be widespread). There will be a series of wars until the last war, which will then be fought by the ten Kings of the Antichrist, all of whom will have one and the same plan and will be the only rulers of the world. Before this comes to pass, there will be a kind of false peace in the world.

People will think of nothing but amusement. The wicked will give themselves over to all kinds of sin. But the children of the holy Church, the children of my faith, my true followers, they will grow in their love for God and in all the virtues most precious to me. Blessed are the souls humbly guided by the Holy Spirit! I shall fight at their side until they reach a fullness of years."

"The seasons will be altered, the earth will produce nothing but bad fruit. The stars will lose their regular motion. The moon will only reflect a faint reddish glow. Water and fire will give the earth's globe convulsions and terrible earthquakes which will swallow up mountains, cities, etc. ---"

"Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist."

"The Church will be in eclipse, the world will be in dismay. But now Enoch and Eli will come, filled with the Spirit of God. They will preach with the might of God, and men of good will will believe in God, and many souls will be comforted. They will make great steps forward through the virtue of the Holy Spirit and will condemn the devilish lapses of the Antichrist. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth! There will be bloody wars and famines, plagues and infectious diseases.

It will rain with a fearful hail of animals. There will be thunderstorms which will shake cities, earthquakes which will swallow up countries. Voices will be heard in the air. Men will beat their heads against walls, call for their death, and on another side death will be their torment. Blood will flow on all sides. Who will be the victor if God does not shorten the length of the test?

All the blood, the tears and the prayers of the righteous, God will relent. Enoch and Eli will be put to death. Pagan Rome will disappear. The fire of Heaven will fall and consume three cities. All the universe will be struck with terror and many will let themselves be led astray because they have not worshipped the true Christ who lives among them. It is time; the sun is darkening; only faith will survive."

"Now is the time; the abyss is opening. Here is the King of Kings of darkness, here is the Beast with his subjects, calling himself the savior of the world. He will rise proudly into the air to go to Heaven. He will be smothered by the breath of the Archangel Saint Michael.

He will fall, and the earth, which will have been in a continuous series of evolutions for three days, will open up its fiery bowels; and he will have plunged for eternity with all his followers into the everlasting chasms of hell. And then water and fire will purge the earth and consume all the works of men's pride and all will be renewed. God will be served and glorified."

Our Lady of Akita - Approved by the Church as worthy of belief:

On October 13, 1973, Our Lady said: "As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one never seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful.

The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, Pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests."

"The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres --- churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord."

"Pray very much the prayers of the Rosary. I alone am able still to save you from the calamities which approach. Those who place their confidence in me will be saved.".

Hellish inventions

"Then I see a very peculiar scene. I have to look at the sky, and something seems to be launched into it. There is something flying past me so rapidly that I can hardly see it. It is shaped like a cigar or a torpedo, and its color is like that of aluminum.

All of a sudden I see something shooting off from the back. I feel about with my hand, and different terrible sensations come over me. At first a total numbness. I live and yet I do not live.

Then I see horrible images of people before me. I see faces, wide faces, covered with dreadful ulcers, something like leprosy. Then I feel terrible deadly diseases: cholera, leprosy --- everything those people have to suffer.

Then that is gone again, and I see tiny little black things floating about me. I try to feel what it is, but that is not possible. It seems to be very fine matter. With my eyes I cannot discern what it is. It is as if I would have to look through something, and below I now see brilliant white fields.

Upon those fields I see those little black things, but enlarged, and it is as if they are alive. I don't know how to describe this properly. I ask the Lady, "Are these bacilli?" She answers very seriously,

"It is hellish."

Then I feel my face and my whole body swelling. It feels like my face gets very bloated, and everything is stiff and swollen. I cannot move. I hear the Lady say,

"And that is what they are inventing," and then very softly, "that Russian, but the others as well." After this the Lady says emphatically, "Peoples, be warned!" And then the Lady goes away."

October 1, 1949 Russia

Then the Lady says, "Come along to Russia."

I now see Russia. The Lady takes me along to glass buildings, underground too --- all kinds of people are working there. These seem to be Germans, Frenchmen, Poles, but others too; I hear them speaking different languages. It seems to be deep in Russia, somewhere in the great uninhabited plains of northern Russia. The Lady says,

"They are making chemicals there. America, be warned! Intervene, do intervene!

Not only human lives are at issue here, but higher powers. Bring faith into the world again. But the faithful. ---" and the Lady shakes her head.

"Live according to it--Love of Neighbor -- for Love is the first commandment! Righteousness comes next."

Message via Louise Tomkiel (yet-to-be-approved) June 1, 2007 L. began to receive a message and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood." (and other prayers of testing)

Then Jesus spoke, " Our Father God spoke of these times and all is recorded in Scripture. I, Jesus, reiterated His words during My sojourn on earth. Why then, are you so surprised by the daily news, all that is happening in nature and the despicable acts of man!

Although all will worsen until it reaches its climax, remember My dear ones that all must be --- all will be --- yet all is transitory.

Pray your way through these times. Be joyful. After the purification you see the New Heavens and the New Earth, all a gift from the Father to all His remaining faithful ones who kept the faith until the end.

Rejoice! -- for time is short -- time is near. All is proceeding according to God's Plan.

Fear not! Rest in My Sacred, Loving Heart,

Amen, dear ones. I will NEVER leave My own.

Amen, dear ones. I love you. I warn you. My word IS TRUTH!!! Pray and be prepared every minute for all that will be, all that must be. Surrender your stubborn will to live only God's Will for you -- DAILY, HOURLY -- ALWAYS!

Amen!!!"

End of messages.

Are these not 'frightening messages' from God? The answer is 'yes' if you are an evil person. The answer is 'No' if you are among the Faithful Remnant whom He will protect.

Are not the messages of Tomkiel, Leary and Ameche extensions of such prophetic messages?

Dilate your heart. Pray to the Holy Spirit for His gift of discernment. Ask Jesus to cover you with His Holy Blood and to protect you from all evil --- and then read public and private prophecy --- always obeying the legitimate Magisterium of His Church.

Make the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary --- continue to hold her hand throughout all things.

Trust in God --- He can not refuse a trusting soul --- IT IS IMPOSSIBLE! God is as loving and merciful as He is omni-potent. (reflect upon that.)

He has told us what He wants us to do --- and promised that He will take care of us.

BE NOT AFRAID.

Make the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and prepare as Our Lord has instructed us to --- All will be well.

God always takes care of His people --- ALWAYS.
