Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 26 - SURRENDER YOURSELVES TO ME
Message of November 25, 2006
"Dear children! Also today I call you to pray, pray, pray. Little
children, when you pray you are close to God and He gives you the
desire for eternity. This is a time when you can speak more about God
and do more for God. Therefore, little children, do not resist but
permit Him to lead you, to change you and to enter into your life. Do
not forget that you are travelers on the way toward eternity.
Therefore, little children, permit God to lead you as a shepherd leads
his flock. Thank you for having responded to my call."
"The whole world" should "come together to venerate and adore Christ the
King hidden under the Sacramental species. Thus by sermons preached, by public adoration of the Blessed Sacrament exposed and by solemn processions, men unite in paying homage to Christ, whom God has given them for their King." "When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony" (Pope Pius XI).
Honor in Mary, at the foot of the Tabernacle, all the mysteries of her life,
for all these were stations, as it were, leading to the Cenacle. In Mary's
life there you will find the model and the consolation of your own life. In
the Cenacle, this august Queen kneels as adoratrix and servant of the Most
Blessed Sacrament: kneel at your Mother's side and pray with her, and in so doing, you will continue her Eucharistic Life on earth." (St. Peter Julian Eymard)

Dear Friends,
I would like to share with you some quotes from Fr. Zlatko Sudac, and Mirjana Soldo regarding the importance of living in this present moment.
In the 1999 Winter issue of Medjugorje Magazine, Fr. Zlatko, who belongs to the diocese of Krk in Croatia, was interviewed by the editors of Medjugorje Magazine. Here are some excerpts from that interview:
"...God does not love you in the past or in the future. He only loves you right now. If you always live in the past or in the future, you will never experience the love of God."
"...I asked myself and I ask you, 'Do I ever live in this moment? Do I ever live in this present moment?' I understood that the answer was no. I always feel guilt about the past and I carry concern in my heart about the future. It's the truth that I don't live in the present moment. But God is an experience of now. God is something to experience now. You can immerse yourself in Him only in this present moment."
"You're seeking spirituality. Do you know how to tell how spiritual you are? When the amount of your spirituality is equivalent to the amount of truth which you can endure about yourself without escaping it, this is a sign of deep spirituality. That's how transformation of the heart happens. Only truth can free us. And then we'll be true adorers of the Lord. We will adore the Lord in spirit and in truth."
Take care and God bless, Mike (Sumner, WA) - from http://www.iipg-queenofpeace.org

REAL FATHER
As the family was sitting down to dinner, Jennifer, who was in kindergarten at a Christian school, turned to her younger brother and then pointed at their dad. "That's not your real father," she said, startling the whole family.
"Yes, he is!" Andy said.
"No, he's not," Jennifer said. "God is your heavenly father." Then pointing at their dad again, she said, "That's your homely father!"
Pope John Paul II -
In a private conversation with the visionary Mirjana Soldo the Pope said: "If I were not pope I would already be in Medjugorje confessing."(1987) http://www.medjugorje.org/pope.htm
Mother Teresa -
Who is the church? You and I.
The church are those who follow Jesus.
Meditations by Padre Pio - There are such sublime joys and such deep sufferings that words cannot express them. Silence is the last resort of the soul in ineffable joy as in extreme oppression.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
No one is better than the next!
"The psychological reason for the modern fondness for news which deflates others or brings out the evil in their lives, is to solace uneasy consciences which are already laden with guilt. By finding others who apparently are more evil than we, we falsely believe that we are somehow better `than the rest of men' (Luke 18: 11)."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
However, I asked my confessor what to do: whether I should continue to suffer this for the sake of sinners or ask the superiors for an exception by way of milder food. He decided that I should ask the superiors for milder food. And thus I followed his directions, seeing that this humiliation was more pleasing to God. (1429)
Today, the love of God is transporting me into the other world. I am all immersed in love; I love and feel that I am loved, and with full consciousness I experience this. My soul is drowning in the Lord, realizing the great Majesty of God and its own littleness; but through this knowledge my happiness increases... This awareness is so vivid in the soul, so powerful and, at the same time, so sweet. (1500)
I never cringe before anyone. I can't bear flattery, for humility is nothing but the truth. There is no cringing in true humility. Although I consider myself the least in the whole convent, on the other hand, I enjoy the honor of being the bride of Christ. Little matter that often I hear people say that I am proud, for I know that human judgment does not discern the motives for our actions. (1502)

Quote of the Day If you wish to prevent all evil thoughts, let your eyes be modestly reserved, and make a league with them never to desire to look upon anything which is not permitted you to desire. -St. Gregory of Nyssa
Today's Tidbit The Solemnity of Christ the King is always celebrated on the final Sunday of the Liturgical Year. This feast reminds us that Jesus ultimate place is reigning over heaven and earth at the right hand of the Father. This theme is highlighted by the readings of preparation of the end times where Christ will come again that are read in the final weeks of the Liturgical Year.
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.
Nov 26 - SURRENDER YOURSELVES TO ME
Today Our Lady speaks of one of the primary messages of Medjugorje:
Dear children, I wish to tell you that I have chosen this parish. I guard it in my hands like a little flower that does not want to die.
I beseech you to surrender yourselves to me so that I can present you as a gift to God, fresh and without sin. Satan has destroyed part of my plan and wants to possess all of it. Pray that he does not succeed, for I wish you for myself so that I may continue offering you to God (Weekly Message August 1, 1985).
And from Paul's first letter to the Corinthians:
For whoever was called in the Lord as a slave is a freed person belonging to the Lord, just as whoever was free when called is a slave of Christ (1 Cor 7:22).
Reflection:
There is glory and joy in surrender to God. When we surrender to other masters we are crushed, shamed, and defeated. But when we give our lives over to God, we are glorified and find victory. An unknown poet knew the honor in this submission: "Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free."
When we abandon ourselves totally to God, we stand before him with nothing: nothing more, nothing less, and nothing other than his Divine Will. Richard Baxter, a great religious writer, died with these words on his lips: "Lord, what you will, where you will, and when you will."
When we submit to God's complete and total control, we become "God-intoxicated", filled with his own life. There is no other way but the way of abandonment and surrender, as the Virgin emphasizes today. It can be hard, but it is essential to a fulfilled life.
Application:
In prayer today, live Our Lady's message: "I beseech you to surrender yourselves your selves to me, so that I can present you a gift to God."

"Hail, sacred tabernacles, where Thou, O Lord, dost descend at the voice of a mortal! Hail, mysterious altar, where faith comes to receive its immortal food! Oh, I love Thy temple! It is an island of peace in the ocean of the world, a beacon of immortality! Thou art near to hear us.... O happy Church! Truly in thee is a hidden God, an infinite treasure, a copious redemption, an everlasting safety. Human eye sees not, nor can any finite intelligence penetrate that ineffable, mysterious presence of Heaven's great Lord." (St. Paul of the Cross)
"One day a band of pirates went to attack the village of St. Rose of Lima, in Peru, South America. They were going to destroy the Church where Jesus was present in the Holy Eucharist. St. Rose loved her friend Jesus in the Sacred Host and did not want these mean men to hurt Him. Often she visited Jesus, in the church, and talked to Him. Little Rose ran to the church and stood before the tabernacle . . . . She would not let the pirates get to Jesus, she was ready to die before letting them hurt Him! When the village people saw how brave she was they stood with her and prevented the pirates from attacking Jesus! In addition to this act of heroic bravery, she started Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration at the Churches throughout her village." (From the book Adoration for Children, by Linda Bracy)

They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-three students filing into the already crowded auditorium.
With rich maroon gowns flowing and the traditional caps, they looked almost as grown up as they felt. Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and moms freely brushed away tears. This class would not pray during the commencements
----- not by choice but because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it.
The principal and several students were careful to stay within the guidelines allowed by the ruling. They gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no one mentioned divine guidance and no one asked for blessings on the graduates or their families. The speeches were nice, but they were routine
.......until the final speech received a standing ovation. A solitary student walked proudly to the microphone.
He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then he delivered his speech.... an astounding SNEEZE!. The rest of the students rose immediately to their feet, and in unison they said, "GOD BLESS YOU." The audience exploded into applause. The graduating class had found a unique way to invoke God's blessing on their future ... with or without the court's approval.
Pope John Paul II -
June 1986 response to a group of twelve Italian bishops seeking pastoral advice on people making pilgrimages to Medjugorje. "Let the people go to Medjugorje if they convert, pray, confess, do penance and fast." http://www.medjugorje.org/pope.htm
Mother Teresa -
Vocation, for a Christian, is Jesus. Our means, how we spend our time, may be different, but it is still our love for Jesus in action.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
The Lord points out and calls, but we do not want to see and answer because we prefer our own interests.
It also sometimes happens that because the voice is always audible, we no longer hear it; but the Lord enlightens and calls. It is man who puts himself in the position of no longer being able to hear.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
No one is better than the next!
"The psychological reason for the modern fondness for news which deflates others or brings out the evil in their lives, is to solace uneasy consciences which are already laden with guilt. By finding others who apparently are more evil than we, we falsely believe that we are somehow better `than the rest of men' (Luke 18: 11)."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
O Lord, You who penetrate my whole being and the most secret depths of my soul, You see that I desire You alone and long only for the fulfillment of Your holy will, paying no heed to difficulties or sufferings or humiliations or to what others might think. (1360)
O my Lord, my soul is the most wretched of all, and yet You stoop to it with such kindness! I see clearly Your greatness and my littleness, and therefore I rejoice that You are so powerful and without limit, and so I rejoice greatly at being so little. (1417)
I strive for the greatest perfection possible in order to be useful to the Church. Greater by far is my bond to the Church. The sanctity or the fall of each individual soul has an effect upon the whole Church. Observing myself and those who are close to me, I have come to understand how great an influence I have on other souls, not by any heroic deeds, as these are striking in themselves, but by small actions like a movement of the hand, a look, and many other things too numerous to mention, which have an effect on and reflect in the souls of others, as I myself have noticed. (1475)

Quote of the Day You must ask God to give you power to fight against the sin of pride which is your greatest enemy - the root of all that is evil, and the failure of all that is good. For God resists the proud. -St. Vincent de Paul
Today's Tidbit Apostasy is the total and obstinate repudiation of the Christian faith. An apostate automatically incurs a penalty of excommunication.
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.
Nov 25 - CONSECRATION TO THE HEART OF JESUS
The following message was given to Jelena for the parish:
Devote five minutes to the Sacred Heart. Each family is an image of it (Locutionists Jelena & Mirijana July 2, 1983).
And from John's gospel, a prayer of Jesus to the Father:
Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and those know that you have sent me. I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them (Jn 17:25-26).
Reflection:
The love of Christ is symbolized by his heart. To be consecrated to the Sacred Heart is to be consecrated to the Lord's love, pledged and dedicated to it. Our Lord's love, pledged and dedicated to it. Our Lady emphasizes this in her messages. From October, 1988: "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 in Nov of 1983: "Place an image of the hearts of Jesus and Mary in your homes." In April, 1984: "I pray that you especially venerate the Heart of my Son." And last, in October of 1983: "May all families consecrate themselves to the Sacred Heart each day."
Application:
Today, let us live these messages of the Blessed Virgin by consecrating ourselves to the Sacred Heart, using the prayer she dictated to Jelena for that purpose:
O Jesus, we know that you are gentle, that you have given your heart for us, crowned with the thorns of our sins. We know well that today you still pray for us so that we will not be lost.
Jesus, remember us if we fall into sin. Through your most Sacred Heart, enable us to love one another, that hatred may disappear from among men. Show us your love, we love you and wish that you protect us with the heart of the Good Shepherd.
Enter into each heart, Lord Jesus! Knock on the door of our hearts with patience and persistence. We are still locked within ourselves for we have not understood your will. O Jesus, continue to knock, that our hearts may open to you, especially when we remember the passion which you suffered for us. Amen.
Message to J.N.S.R.Sept.9,2007
To JESUS and to MARY forever
September 9, 2007
JESUS: The Eternal King had chosen to come down on the Earth. From all eternity He lived with the Holy Spirit in the Father, forming only One God even though they were Three.
"Who sees Me sees My Father"
"And the Earth needs to know God".
The Word became Flesh and lived among mankind. Such was God's Holy Will: to give to His creatures of the Earth, His Only Son as the first link of the chain, so as to elevate, degree by degree, the children of the Earth in a spiritual evolution, surpassing the First Creation in order to attain, in this 8th Day, this New Earth with the New Heavens promised by Christ Himself. It was necessary that the First of the line be JESUS Christ, Only Son of the Father, that is, God become Man Himself. This is Jacob's Ladder being presented to you.
So I took Flesh from the Virgin MARY. From all eternity, the Hand of God had already fashioned Her like the Image of God made Man, in order to receive the Seed of Life. The Divine Potter, in His Holy Will, did not use clay as He did with the first couple. MARY is the very Life of God of this completed Creation.
"You must be born from Above." I am from Above, the Original Virginal Waters, from far-away Eternity created by God. That is why MARY did not have to be reborn from Above, in order to enter directly into the Kingdom of God where She is Queen. Her spirit is Spirit. Her glorified and divine flesh in Anne's womb, Her mother who, purified by God, received the Spirit to give Life to MARY.
Why doubt when God tells you that your destiny is to live with Him, you are the children of God, destined to live in His Kingdom.
You are little Jesuses and little Marys, and you will be like God when you see Me among you, in this world thirsting for Love.
Your Lord JESUS
Your Creator God † Amen.
JESUS Christ.
ST. JOHN BOSCO'S DREAM (VISION) OF HELL - Part 3 of 3
ST. JOHN BOSCO'S DREAM (VISION) OF HELL
*The Road to Hell
(Prophetic Dream of St. John Bosco 1868 A.D.)
I was staring in bewilderment about me when a lad dashed out of a gate.
Seemingly unaware of anything else, he emitted a most shrilling scream, like one
who is about to fall into a cauldron of liquid bronze, and plummeted into the
center of the cave. Instantly he too became incandescent and perfectly
motionless, while the echo of his dying wail lingered for an instant more.
Terribly frightened, I stared briefly at him for a while. He seemed to be one of
my Oratory boys. "Isn't he so and so?" I asked my guide.
"Yes," was the answer.
"Why is he so still, so incandescent?"
"You chose to see," he replied. "Be satisfied with that. Just keep looking.
Besides, "Everyone shall be salted with fire." (Mark 9: 48)
As I looked again, another boy came hurtling down into the cave at breakneck
speed. He too was from the Oratory. As he fell, so he remained. He too emitted
one single heart-rending shriek that blended with the last echo of the scream
that came from the youth who had preceded him. Other boys kept hurtling in the
same way in increasing numbers, all screaming the same way and then all becoming
equally motionless and incandescent. I noticed that the first seemed frozen to
the spot, one hand and one foot raised into the air; the second boy seemed bent
almost double to the floor. Others stood or hung in various other positions,
balancing themselves on one foot or hand, sitting or lying on their backs or on
their sides, standing or kneeling, hands clutching their hair. Briefly, the
scene resembled a large statuary group of youngsters cast into ever more painful
postures. Other lads hurtled into that same furnace. Some I knew; others were
strangers to me. I then recalled what is written in the Bible to the effect that
as one falls into Hell, so he shall forever remain. ". . . in what place soever
it shall fall, there shall it be." (Ecclesiastes 11:3)
More frightened than ever, I asked my guide, "When these boys come dashing into
this cave, don't they know where they are going?"
"They surely do. They have been warned a thousand times, but they still choose
to rush into the fire because they do not detest sin and are loath to forsake
it. Furthermore, they despise and reject God's incessant, merciful invitations
to do penance. Thus provoked, Divine Justice harries them, hounds them, and
goads them on so that they cannot halt until they reach this place."
"Oh, how miserable these unfortunate boys must feel in knowing they no longer
have any hope," I exclaimed. "If you really want to know their innermost frenzy
and fury, go a little closer," my guide remarked.
I took a few steps forward and saw that many of those poor wretches were
savagely striking at each other like mad dogs. Others were clawing their own
faces and hands, tearing their own flesh and spitefully throwing it about. Just
then the entire ceiling of the cave became as transparent as crystal and
revealed a patch of Heaven and their radiant companions safe for all eternity.
The poor wretches, fuming and panting with envy, burned with rage because they
had once ridiculed the just. "The wicked shall see, and be angry, he shall gnash
with his teeth, and pine away. . . " (Psalms 111: 10) "Why do hear no sound?" I
asked my guide,
"Go closer!" he advised.
Pressing my ear to the crystal window, I heard screams and sobs, blasphemies and
imprecations against the Saints. It was a tumult of voices and cries, shrill and
confused.
"When they recall the happy lot of their good companions," he replied, "they are
obliged to admit: "We fools esteemed their life madness, and their end without
honour. Behold, how they are numbered among the children of God, and their lot
is among the saints. Therefore we have erred from the way of truth, and the
light of justice hath not shined unto us, and the sun of understanding hath not
risen upon us." (Wisdom 5:4-6) "We wearied ourselves in the way of iniquity and
destruction, and have walked through hard ways, but the way of the Lord we have
not known. What hath pride profited us ? or what advantage hath the boasting of
riches brought us ? All those things are passed away like a shadow." (Wisdom 5:
7-9)
"Here time is no more. Here is only eternity."
While I viewed the condition of many of my boys in utter terror, a thought
suddenly struck me. "How can these boys be damned?" I asked. "Last night they
were still alive at the Oratory!"
"The boys you see here," he answered, "are all dead to God's grace. Were they to
die now or persist in their evil ways, they would be damned. But we are wasting
time. Let us go on."
He led me away and we went down through a corridor into a lower cavern, at whose
entrance I read: "Their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be
quenched." (Isaias 66: 24) "He will give fire, and worms into their flesh, and
they may burn and may feel forever." (Judith 16: 21)
Here one could see how atrocious was the remorse of those who had been pupils in
our schools. What a torment was their, to remember each unforgiven sin and its
just punishment, the countless, even extraordinary means they had had to mend
their ways, persevere in virtue, and earn paradise, and their lack of response
to the many favors promised and bestowed by the Virgin Mary. What a torture to
think that they couId have been saved so easily, yet now are irredeemably lost,
and to remember the many good resolutions made and never kept. Hell is indeed
paved with good intentions!
In this lower cavern I again saw those Oratory boys who had fallen into the
fiery furnace. Some are listening to me right now; others are former pupils or
even strangers to me. I drew closer to them and noticed that they were all
covered with worms and vermin which gnawed at their vitals, hearts, eyes, hands,
legs, and entire bodies so ferociously as to defy description. Helpless and
motionless, they were a prey to every kind of torment. Hoping I might be able to
speak with them or to hear something from them, I drew even closer but no one
spoke or even looked at me. I then asked my guide why, and he explained that the
damned are totally deprived of freedom. Each must fully endure his own
punishment, with absolutely no reprieve whatever. "And now," he added, "you too
must enter that cavern."
"Oh, no!" I objected in terror. "Before going to Hell, one has to be judged. I
have not been judged yet, and so I will not go to Hell!"
"Listen," he said, "what would you rather do: visit Hell and save your boys, or
stay outside and leave them in agony?"
For a moment I was struck speechless. "Of course I love my boys and wish to save
them all," I replied, "but isn't there some other way out?"
"Yes, there is a way," he went on, "provided you do all you can."
I breathed more easily and instantly said to myself, I don't mind slaving if I
can rescue these beloved sons of mine from such torments.
"Come inside then," my friend went on, "and see how our good, almighty God
lovingly provides a thousand means for guiding your boys to penance and saving
them from everlasting death."
Taking my hand, he led me into the cave. As I stepped in, I found myself
suddenly transported into a magnificent hall whose curtained glass doors
concealed more entrances.
Above one of them I read this inscription: The Sixth Commandment. Pointing to
it, my guide exclaimed, "Transgressions of this commandment caused the eternal
ruin of many boys."
"Didn't they go to confession?"
"They did, but they either omitted or insufficiently confessed the sins against
the beautiful virtue of purity, saying for instance that they had committed such
sins two or three times when it was four or five. Other boys may have fallen
into that sin but once in their childhood, and, through shame, never confessed
it or did so insufficiently. Others were not truly sorry or sincere in their
resolve to avoid it in the future. There were even some who, rather than examine
their conscience, spent their time trying to figure out how best to deceive
their confessor. Anyone dying in this frame of mind chooses to be among the
damned, and so he is doomed for all eternity. Only those who die truly repentant
shall be eternally happy. Now do you want to see why our merciful God brought
you here?" He lifted the curtain and I saw a group of Oratory boys -- all known
to me -- who were there because of this sin. Among them were some whose conduct
seems to be good.
"Now you will surely let me take down their names so that I may warn them
individually," I exclaimed. "Then what do you suggest I tell them?"
"Always preach against immodesty. A generic warning will suffice. Bear in mind
that even if you did admonish them individually, they would promise, but not
always in earnest. For a firm resolution, one needs God's grace which will not
be denied to your boys if they pray. God manifests His power especially by being
merciful and forgiving. On your part, pray and make sacrifices. As for the boys,
let them listen to your admonitions and consult their conscience. It will tell
them what to do."
We spent the next half hour discussing the requisites of a good confession.
Afterward, my guide several times exclaimed in a loud voice, "Avertere!
Avertere!"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Change life! "
Perplexed, I bowed my head and made as if to withdraw, but he held me back.
"You haven't seen everything yet," he explained.
He turned and lifted another curtain bearing this inscription: "They who would
become rich, fall into temptation, and to the snare of the devil." (1 Timothy 6:
9) (Note: would become rich: wish to become rich, seek riches, set their heart
and affections toward riches.)
"This does not apply to my boys! I countered, "because they are as poor as I am.
We are not rich and do not want to be. We give it no thought."
As the curtain was lifted, however, I saw a group of boys, all known to me. They
were in pain, like those I had seen before. Pointing to them, my guide remarked,
"As you see, the inscription does apply to your boys."
"But how?" I asked.
"Well," he said, "some boys are so attached to material possessions that their
love of God is lessened. Thus they sin against charity, piety, and meekness.
Even the mere desire of riches can corrupt the heart, especially if such a
desire leads to injustice. Your boys are poor, but remember that greed and
idleness are bad counselors. One of your boys committed substantial thefts in
his native town, and though he could make restitution, he gives it not a
thought. There are others who try to break into the pantry or the prefect's or
economer's office; those who rummage in their companions' trunks for food,
money, or possessions; those who steal stationery and books...."
After naming these boys and others as well, he continued, "Some are here for
having stolen clothes, linen, blankets, and coats from the Oratory wardrobe in
order to send them home to their families; others for willful, serious damage;
others, yet, for not having given back what they had borrowed or for having kept
sums of money they were supposed to hand over to the superior. Now that you know
who these boys are," he concluded, "admonish them. Tell them to curb all vain,
harmful desires, to obey God's law and to safeguard their reputation jealously
lest greed lead them to greater excesses and plunge them into sorrow, death, and
damnation."
I couldn't understand why such dreadful punishments should be meted out for
infractions that boys thought so little of, but my guide shook me out of my
thoughts by saying: "Recall what you were told when you saw those spoiled grapes
on the wine." With these words he lifted another curtain which hid many of our
Oratory boys, all of whom I recognized instantly. The inscription on the curtain
read: The root of all evils.
"Do you know what that means?" he asked me immediately.
"What sin does that refer to?"
"Pride?"
"No!"
"And yet I have always heard that pride is the root of all evil."
"It is, generally speaking, but, specifically, do you know what led Adam and Eve
to commit the first sin for which they were driven away from their earthly
paradise?"
"Disobedience?"
"Exactly! Disobedience is the root of all evil."
"What shall I tell my boys about it?"
"Listen carefully: the boys you see here are those who prepare such a tragic end
for themselves by being disobedient. So-and-so and so-and-so, who you think went
to bed, leave the dormitory later in the night to roam about the playground,
and, contrary to orders, they stray into dangerous areas and up scaffolds,
endangering even their lives. Others go to church, but, ignoring
recommendations, they misbehave; instead of praying, they daydream or cause a
disturbance. There are also those who make themselves comfortable so as to doze
off during church services, and those who only make believe they are going to
church. Woe to those who neglect prayer! He who does not pray dooms himself to
perdition. Some are here because, instead of singing hymns or saying the Little
Office of the Blessed Virgin, they read frivolous or -- worse yet -- forbidden
books." He then went on mentioning other serious breaches of discipline.
When he was done, I was deeply moved.
"May I mention all these things to my boys?" I asked, looking at him straight in
the eye.
"Yes, you may tell them whatever you remember."
"What advice shall I give them to safeguard them from such a tragedy?"
"Keep telling them that by obeying God, the Church, their parents, and their
superiors, even in little things, they will be saved."
"Anything else?"
"Warn them against idleness. Because of idleness David fell into sin. Tell them
to keep busy at all times, because the devil will not then have a chance to
tempt them."
I bowed my head and promised. Faint with dismay, I could only mutter, "Thanks
for having been so good to me. Now, please lead me out of here."
"All right, then, come with me." Encouragingly he took my hand and held me up
because I could hardly stand on my feet. Leaving that hall, in no time at all we
retraced our steps through that horrible courtyard and the long corridor. But as
soon as we stepped across the last bronze portal, he turned to me and said, "Now
that you have seen what others suffer, you too must experience a touch of Hell."
"No, no!" I cried in terror.
He insisted, but I kept refusing.
"Do not be afraid," he told me; "just try it. Touch this wall."
I could not muster enough courage and tried to get away, but he held me back.
"Try it," he insisted. Gripping my arm firmly, he pulled me to the wall. "Only
one touch," he cornmanded, "so that you may say you have both seen and touched
the walls of eternal suffering and that you may understand what the last wall
must be like if the first is so unendurable. Look at this wall!" I did intently.
It seemed incredibly thick. "There are a thousand walls between this and the
real fire of Hell," my guide continued. "A thousand walls encompass it, each a
thousand measures thick and equally distant from the next one. Each measure is a
thousand miles. This wall therefore is millions and millions of miles from
Hell's real fire. It is just a remote rim of Hell itself."
When he said this, I instinctively pulled back, but he seized my hand, forced it
open, and pressed it against the first of the thousand walls. The sensation was
so utterly excruciating that I leaped back with a scream and found myself
sitting up in bed. My hand was stinging and I kept rubbing it to ease the pain.
When I got up this morning I noticed that it was swollen. Having my hand pressed
against the wall, though only in a dream, felt so real that, later, the skin of
my palm peeled off.
Bear in mind that I have tried not to frighten you very much, and so I have not
described these things in all their horror as I saw them and as they impressed
me. We know that Our Lord always portrayed Hell in symbols because, had He
described it as it really is, we would not have understood Him. No mortal can
comprehend these things. The Lord knows them and He reveals them to whomever He
wills. [END]

Message From Jesus
November 23, 2007
7:10 a.m.
After having prayed first the Lord's Prayer, Hail Mary, Glory Be and the Prayers
for Protection to St. Michael, the Archangel and the Guardian Angels as well as
the Exorcism Prayer, I went on to ask Jesus if there's anything He would want to
say: Here below is what I heard from the small, still, inner voice:
Son of my Father's will, it is a fact of life that many in this life go through
trials and tribulations of various kinds at various seasons and stages of life.
Many people are too poor, some too rich and having the best the world has to
offer.
But why the seeming unfairness of life? There are many who because of poverty
commit crimes against persons and property and thus transgress the law of God
and men. Why were so many born poor while the lesser number are rich and even a
lesser number very, very rich? That is a very hard subject to dwell on son for
there are no exact and easy to say explanations from the viewpoint of men, but
rest assured that God the Father is very much aware of life's situations of
every human being that when judgment of the soul has to take place in the after
life, the particular difficult or easy life of a person is taken into
consideration.
A poor man will have lived his life with plenty of penance imposed by
circumstances, so therefore God's mercy on his soul for his transgressions is
more apparent and forthcoming provided that at the last moment of life, a
sincere apology for life's mistakes is accomplished. I tell you son of the
Father's yet unfathomable ocean of mercy which the human mind cannot fully
comprehend.
He is just, fair and reasonable in handing out a verdict for souls whether they
suffer much or enjoyed this life on earth to the full.
Good to see your faithfulness and patience in hearing us son.
Go in peace!

JESUS ASKS US TO REMAIN IN REFLECTION (Contemplation)
Today we attended our usual 8:00 A.M. Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows
where I made an Act of Contrition in preparation of receiving the Body and Blood
of Christ, and made small offerings to Jesus and Mary.
As always, I prayed for all with special needs and intentions. After receiving
the most precious body and blood of Christ in the Sacrament of Holy Communion, I
knelt in silent commune with Jesus. His presence was felt so intensely that my
eyes filled with tears in awe of His company.
After thanking God for His many blessings, I asked Him to please cover me with
His most precious blood and prayed, Speak Lord, Your servant listens.
Jesus heard my prayer and answered saying; My child Eileen, there is a time to
speak and a time for reflection. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters.
Note: This is a message that Jesus has repeated to me in the past, especially
before my Spiritual Advisor's passing. At that time Jesus told us All that my
children need to hear has been said many, many times. Now is the time to reflect
and commune with God. These words may not be exact as I repeat them now, but
were indeed the true essence of His message.
See what God the Father was thankful for on Thanksgiving
November 22, 2007
Public
Today, as I entered my prayer room, I saw a great Flame that I know to be the Heart of God the Father. I heard His Voice say, I am the Alpha and the Omega your Creator, the Eternal Now. In Me, there is no beginning or end only now.
Today your country celebrates Thanksgiving, and you have been telling Me what you are thankful for. But I am here to tell you what I give thanks for.
I am thankful for this Pope who supports the Tradition of Faith. I am thankful for the Remnant who cling tenaciously to the Tradition of Faith despite Satan's confusion and promotion of his agenda. I am thankful for this Mission of Holy and Divine Love, and for the spirituality of the United Hearts, which many have accepted despite Satan's lies. I am grateful for the many who continue to add their numbers to the Ministry here, even to the point of uprooting and moving here. I am thankful for the promotion of the Rosary of the Unborn, and for the many lives that are saved because of it. I am grateful for the many rosaries, prayers and devotions offered at this Site.
My thanks comes to earth bound up in Divine Love. I have the eternal desire that Divine Love will be the Flame that consumes the heart of the world.

Son, do not bewail the fact that there are times when you have to stand up for
what you believe is right and in accord with your conscience.
I allow situations like that to emerge from time to time for it is also in
those situations that I can summon your inner will to speak in terms that
otherwise you will deliberately avoid saying owing to your inherent nature.
Although many times you feel guilty after each unpleasant encounter, please be
comforted that the contents of the heart is not hidden from me for I know
whether a word used is said out of malice or not or simply to explain a point
out of the goodness of the heart but misunderstood.
Yes, son, arguments should be avoided at all costs but when the moment calls
for making a stand for the truth, for goodness, for the faith, for what is in
accord with my will, then son, I assure you of my backing. You won't have to
struggle for want of words to say for my spirit will bring into your mind what I
want said, but remember son that it is not a blanket guarantee that I will speak
for you but only as far as you are going to speak in accordance with my will.
But I do not condemn you even if you speak out of your own knowledge and
wisdom for as long as you can readily acknowledge any mistake or sin you commit,
then Me your Father is always receptive to a contrite heart and will never deny
an act of reconciling with the I AM.
Be at peace for I am a gentle, meek, loving and merciful God and for those who
shower Me with love and affection, my guarantee of greater love and esteem.
Your Father,
