“Be men and women of prayer”

Reading: Ephesians 1:3-14

Dear friends,

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before him.” Ephesians 1: 3-4



My time of contemplative prayer was spent with Jesus, Our Lord and Friend, who said, “Melvin, My brother and companion, I love you. Because of My love for you, I call all My brothers and sisters to take up the mission the Father has for you.

You were all created for a special purpose and your fulfillment will come in following the mission given to you.

You might ask, ‘What is my mission in the world? Why was I born?’ In examining yourself, you will find the gifts the Father has given you and these will be indications of what you are to do.

If one has a good singing voice, this means that you have been chosen to sing and you should not hide that talent. If you are a person with the gift of caring, you have been chosen to put this gift in practice.

 

Most men and women are chosen for marriage and to have children and this is a great vocation. Some are chosen to remain single in the world. There are also others chosen by Me and called to be religious or priests.

These are special callings and only those who have faith in Me will hear this call. It is a fact that every person was created for a special purpose.

A person can miss his or her calling. One’s attachment to the evils of this world can get in the way of fulfilling your calling.

If one is addicted to drugs, alcohol or other things, this will surely frustrate the mission for which you were called. You must not let these things dominate you and make it impossible for you to answer your call.

Get rid of these things before they control you. Your relationship with Me is also important in order to answer fully the call. Be men and women of prayer and I will lead you to fulfill the purpose why you were born. I love and bless you.”

Father Melvin

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 08 - A TRANSFIGURED BODY

"By daily visiting the Blessed Sacrament, we follow the footsteps of the
first Christians.  In the catacombs were frequently found representations of the
shepherds and the Magi kneeling before the Infant Jesus. 

 

Animated by the iving faith that Jesus is present in the Eucharist, with Divinity and Humanity,
with Body and Soul, with Flesh and Blood, these early Christians said with the hepherds, 'Let us go to Bethlehem'; with the Magi, 'falling down they adored
him' (Matt 2:11). (From The Holy Eucharist Our All, Fr. Lukas Etlin, O.S.B.).

Mother Teresa -  

May the joy and love of the Risen Jesus be always with you, in you, and among you, so that we all become the true witnesses of His Father's love for the world:

" For God loved the world so much that He gave His Son. "

Meditations by Padre Pio - In all that you do always be humble, guarding jealously the purity of your heart and the purity of your body; these are the two wings which will raise us to God and make us almost divine.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Why do we need to be constantly on the move?

"Most pleasures today are associated with movement and in the case of the young, with speed. A quick change of scenery and pace seems to be one of the ingredients of modern enjoyment.

 

One out of four persons in the United States changes his address during the year. The unquiet mind makes an unquiet body."

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

Help me, O Lord, that my hands may be merciful and filled with good deeds, so that I may do only good to my neighbors and take upon myself the more difficult and toilsome tasks.

Help me, that my feet may be merciful, so that I may hurry to assist my neighbor, overcoming my own fatigue and weariness. My true rest is in the service of my neighbor.

Help me, O Lord, that my heart may be merciful so that I myself may feel all the sufferings of my neighbor.

 

I will refuse my heart to no one. I will be sincere even with those who, I know, will abuse my kindness. And I will lock myself up in the most merciful Heart of Jesus. I will bear my own suffering in silence. May Your mercy, O Lord, rest upon me.

You Yourself command me to exercise the three degrees of mercy. The first: the act of mercy, of whatever kind. The second: the word of mercy-if I cannot carry out a work of mercy, I will assist by my words. The third: prayer-if I cannot show mercy by deeds or words, I can always do so by prayer.

 

My prayer reaches out even there where I cannot reach out physically. O my Jesus, transform me into Yourself, for you can do all things.      

 

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.

Jan 8   -   A TRANSFIGURED BODY

Today Our Lady speaks of the kingdom of heaven in answer to questions by the visionaries :

We go to heaven in full conscience : that which we have now. At the moment of death, we are conscious of the separation of the body and the soul.

It is false to teach people that we are reborn many times and that we pass to different bodies. One is born only once.

The body, drawn from the earth decomposes after death. It never comes back to life again. Man receives a transfigured body (First Years July 24, 1982). When speaking of heaven, Jesus liked to use analogies such as the following :

The kingdom of heave is like treasure hidden in a field,which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

Again, the kingdom of heave is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; an finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought (Mt 13 :44-46).

Reflection :

The visionary Mirjana describes the vision of heaven the Virgin gave her in this way:

The first thing I noticed were the faces of the people there; they were radiating a type of inner light which shoed how immensely happy they were…The trees, the meadows, the sky are totally different from anything we know on the earth.

And the light is much more brilliant. Heaven is beautiful beyond any possible comparison with anything I know of on the earth.

Mirjana goes on to speak of the people there, concluding with, " They have everything. They need or want nothing. They are totally full. "

Vicka, another of the visionaries who were shown heaven, describes it as, "a vast space, and it has a brilliant light which does not leave it. It is a life which we do not know here on earth…People in heaven

know the absolute fullness of a created being. "

And a last not on heaven by little Jakov : " If I thought about it too much, I would die of loneliness."

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).

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette January 7, 2008

 

If you respect life, you will respect Me

 

Reading: John 14:15-18

 

Dear friends,

 

I am the way and the truth and the life? John 14, 6

 

Today I will go to the Manor in Alberton to visit my mother and to celebrate Holy Mass with the Catholics there. I will bring Father Richard to visit the Church of St. Simon and St. Jude in Tignish and we will spend some time in adoration. Tomorrow evening at 7:00 p.m. I will have a Healing Mass at the church in Summerside, P.E.I.

 

My half-hour of prayer this morning was spent with our Heavenly Father who said, Melvin, My son, I love you. It was out of love that I created you and all My sons and daughters throughout the world. I love you all, especially those who believe in Me and My Son Jesus. I am the master of life for I gave to you all the gift of life. You are to respect life from the moment of conception until natural death. No one has the right to tamper with life or destroy life.

 

All kinds of killings including abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment and the destruction of embryos are a grave offense against Me. No one has the right to destroy life for any reason. Life is sacred as it comes from Me, your Creator and Father. Today, unfortunately, many millions of unborn children are killed by abortion and I hear the cry of all these. The blood of these innocent children is staining many countries of the world. These crimes are affecting you, My children, and what are you doing about it? You must do all you can to stop these killings so that all will follow My commandment, Thou shall not kill. If you believe in My Son Jesus, you cannot remain passive but you must react to get the governments to stop this carnage.

 

My dear children, may these words be engraved on your heart, Life is sacred and we must not tamper with it. Where there is life, there is a human being and did not Jesus teach you to love every person? Love all the children, especially the most defenseless who are still in the womb of their mother. If you respect life, you will respect Me, the author of life. Learn from Mary, the Mother of Jesus, My Son, who had such love for her Son from the moment of His conception. I bless you and fill you with the graces you need.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 6, 2008

 

 

MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,

 

TODAY WE PONDER THOSE THREE KINGS WHO HONORED MY SON WITH THEIR VISIT AND WITH

THEIR GIFTS, EACH ONE SIGNIFICANT. LITTLE ONES, YOU ARE MUCH LIKE THESE WISE

MEN. YOU HONOR MY SON AND YOU GIVE OVER YOUR HEARTS TO HIM, FILLED WITH TRUE AND

DEEP LOVE. THESE ARE THE TREASURES YOU GIVE JESUS.

 

MY LITTLE CHILDREN, LET THIS DAY BE A REMINDER TO YOU THAT EVIL DOES TRY TO

DECEIVE AND DETOUR YOU. KEEP YOURSELVES WISE BY KEEPING YOUR SOULS PURE AND FULL

OF GRACE. PRAY MUCH, ALWAYS KNOWING THAT WHEN YOU PRAY I AM IN YOUR MIDST. I

WILL TAKE YOUR PRAYERS BEFORE THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST. I TAKE

THEM TO THE BLESSED TRINITY. YOU ARE BLESSED TO KNOW THIS AND HAVE THIS PROMISE,

AND THIS SHOULD BE YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT EACH AND EVERY DAY.

 

MY CHILDREN, I GIVE TO YOU TODAY A SPECIAL BLESSING. I HAVE WELCOMED YOU INTO MY

HEART AS I DID THOSE WHO VISITED ME SO LONG AGO. I ACCEPT ALL YOU OFFER IN

JESUS? NAME AND I BLESS YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY

GHOST.

 

LET THOSE PRIESTS WHO LOVE YOU, GIVE TO YOU THE BLESSING OF CHRIST, AND THEN I

SAY TO YOU, PRAISE AND THANK GOD, FOREVER, FOREVER, AND FOREVER.

 

 

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 07 - DEEPEN YOUR FAITH

 

"The eucharistic blessing shows us how close Jesus is to us in our humble lives.  'God with us.'  His blessing falls upon our troubles and afflictions, our anxieties and temptations, our failings and  weaknesses" (Pope Bl. John XXIII).

 

Mother Teresa  -

 

I believe that the most important thing is for us to love Jesus, then to love one another ourselves and the members of our families and to show our love for the poor

 

Meditations by Padre Pio - We must always strictly observe these two virtues: sweetness with our neighbors and holy humility with God

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Getting away from the Maddening Mob

 "It is much easier to find a television program on a prize fight than one on Shakespeare. As the English philosopher, C.E.M. Joad put it, `Those things which are peculiar to each of us and may in their forms of expression well be different in all of us cannot be catered for in bulk by commercial agencies.' When you want to enjoy an individual pleasure, even though it be but an hour of chamber music in the privacy of your own room, or a page of Pepys' Diary, you must isolate yourself from those who cater to the mob."

 

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

 

O Most Holy Trinity! As many times as I breathe, as many times as my heart beats, as many times as my blood pulsates through my body, so many thousand times do I want to glorify Your mercy.

 

I want to be completely transformed into Your mercy and to be Your living reflection, O Lord. May the greatest of all divine attributes, that of Your unfathomable mercy, pass through my heart and soul to my neighbor.

 

Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful, so that I may never suspect or judge from appearances, but look for what is beautiful in my neighbors' souls and come to their rescue.

 

Help me, that my ears may be merciful, so that I may give heed to my neighbors' needs and not be indifferent to their pains and moanings.

 

Help me, O Lord, that my tongue may be merciful, so that I should never speak negatively of my neighbor, but have a word of comfort and forgiveness for all.      (163a)

 

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.

 

Jan 7 -  DEEPEN YOUR FAITH

 

The Blessed Mother speaks today of deepening our faith:

 

For you who have the faith, this time constitutes a great opportunity for you to be converted, and to deepen your faith (Locutionists Jelena & Mirjana December 15, 1982).

 

And Jesus speaks of the great power of faith:

 

He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move form here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you" (Mt 17:20).

 

Reflection:

 

There is a story of the poet Coleridge who one day listened to a visitor's vehement argument against religious education of the young. His acquaintance had concluded with a statement of his determination not to prejudice his children toward any faith or religion, but to let them make up their own minds when thy reached maturity. Coleridge made no immediate comment, but shortly afterwards asked this same visitor if he would like to see his garden. Receiving a positive response, he led his guest to a strip of lawn that was overgrown with weeds.

 

"Why, this is no garden. It's nothing but a weed patch", said his guest.

 

"Oh", replied Coleridge, "that's because it hasn't come to its maturity yet. The weeds, you see, have taken the opportunity to grow, and I thought it would be unfair of me to prejudice the soil toward roses and strawberries".

 

Clearly one of the responsibilities of faith is to pass it on to the next generation. If we believe it to be the most precious of gifts, as Jesus and his Mother teach us today, then we will be anxious to share it with others, especially those closest to us.

 

Application:

 

In your life, who was most instrumental in handing on the faith to you? In prayer, reflect on the ways that you in turn can pass on your faith to others.

 

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 06 - LIFE WILL FLOW FROM YOUR HEARTS

 

It moves me to see how the joy of Eucharistic adoration is increasing throughout the Church, and how its fruits are appearing. During the period of liturgical reform, Mass and Eucharistic adoration outside of Mass were often seen as

being in opposition." "[However,] receiving the Eucharist means adoring Him Whom we receive." (Pope Benedict XVI, Dec. 22, 2005)

 

"If you ate only one meal a week would you survive?  It is the same for your soul. Nourish it with the Blessed Sacrament." (Bl. Andre Bessette)

 

SATAN FEARS MARY

"Satan fears Mary, and he especially fears Her in Her promise of 0salvation. How could we better practice an apostolate against him at the present stage, than by dispelling the clouds of ignorance which hide Her there? ...'They who explain Me shall have life everlasting' is a passage of Scripture (Ecclus. 24:31) that has caused many men to write about the Blessed Virgin. She has already promised life everlasting; but if we explain Her, spreading books written about Her, may we not hope that so bountiful a Mother will give us life everlasting more abundantly? Not only is She never outdone in generosity, but today, more than ever, She wants it to be known that She may draw men to Her Son" (Haffert).

 

Mother Teresa  -

Love has to hurt to be true.

It hurt Jesus to love us.

It truly hurt Him

 

Meditations by Padre Pio - Love does not tolerate delay and immediately upon arrival, they [the Magi] did everything within their power to make Him known; He who had conquered their hearts through the influence of grace, wounding them with the kind of charity that must overflow, because it cannot be contained in the small structure of the heart and must therefore be communicated.

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

 

Reaching the masses has turned into a mess

 

"Our complex modern society is directed to the creation of mass entertainment rather than individual pleasure. Movies, television, advertising are geared to the masses, and generally to their lowest common denominator. Their aim is to satisfy what all have in common, rather than what they have individually."

 

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

 

November, 1932. Today I arrived in Warsaw for the third probation. After a cordial meeting with the dear Mothers, I went into the small chapel for a moment. Suddenly God's presence filled my soul, and I heard these words, My daughter, I desire that your heart be formed after the model of My merciful Heart. You must be completely imbued with My mercy.

 

Dear Mother Directress [Margaret] at once asked me whether I had had a retreat that year, and I said no. "Then you must first have a retreat of at least three days." Thanks be to God there was at Walendow an eight-day retreat in which I could take part. But difficulties arose in regard to my leaving for this retreat. A certain person opposed my going very much, and it already [appeared that] I was not to go. After dinner, I went into the chapel for a five-minute adoration. Suddenly I saw the Lord Jesus, who said to me, My daughter, I am preparing many graces for you, which you will receive during this retreat which you will begin tomorrow. I answered, "Jesus, the retreat has already begun, and I am not supposed to go." And He said to me, Get ready for it, because you will begin the retreat tomorrow. And as for your departure, I will arrange that with the superiors. And in an instant, Jesus disappeared.     (167)

Jan 6   -   LIFE WILL FLOW FROM YOUR HEARTS

 

The following locution was received by Jelena Vasilj for her prayer group:

 

If you pray, a source of life will flow from your hearts. If you pray with strength, if you pray with faith, you will receive graces from this source, and your group will be strengthened (Locutionists Jelena & Mirjana October 24, 1983).

 

Jesus speaks of group prayer in the following passage from scripture:

 

Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about everything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them (Mt 18:19-20).

 

Reflection:

 

In Medjugorje, Our Lady has made a point of encouraging group prayer, and has founded two prayer groups herself, one led by Ivan and Marija, the other by the two young locutionists, Jelena and Mirjana Vasilj.

 

Concerning such groups, Ivan has said, "The Gospa would like prayer groups throughout the world. Through prayer we come to know God, and there is much power in group prayer".

 

With regard to the organization of such groups, Ivan emphasizes the importance of a dedicated and reliable leader. Also, he says, "the prayer group should have a definite goal. The members should have a reason to meet and pray and fast". The goal of his own group is to help the Blessed Virgin to achieve God's plans, no less than the conversion of the world. "We do this", he says, "through living the messages and encouraging others to live them."

 

Application:

 

Have you considered joining a prayer group in your local area, or perhaps starting one if none exist? You could count on an array of blessings from the Mother of God in doing so.

 “Let Me lead you”

 

 Reading: Matthew 2:1-12

 

 

 

Dear friends,

 

“When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, ‘Where is the newborn King of the Jews?” Matthew 2:1

 

 

I have a priest visiting me these days – Fr. Richard Boulet from Montreal. He concelebrated Holy Mass with me yesterday at 9:30 a.m. in Our Lady’s little shrine and at 4:00 p.m. in Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road. Today we will be back at the church on Palmer Road for Holy Mass at 11:00 a.m.

 

 

During my prayer this morning, I was with Jesus, Our Lord and Saviour, who said, “Melvin, My brother and sharer in My priesthood, I love you.

 

My Heart full of love goes out to all My brothers and sisters throughout the world and I bless you all. Today on the Feast of the Epiphany you remember the visit of the Magi who came to pay homage to Me in Bethlehem.

 

This feast signifies that I came into the world to save not only the Chosen People, the people of Israel, but also the people of the whole world.

 

 I am your only Saviour sent by the Father to open heaven for you by My death on the cross and My resurrection from the dead.

 

 

 

The Magi were led by a star right to the place where I was. Today I am your star that leads you on the right path to salvation. If you believe in Me, you will follow My light every day and I will lead you to the Kingdom of heaven. Do not step out into the darkness for you will easily get lost.

 

There is one who is calling you to leave the lighted path and take the other one. Do not listen to him for he has not your best interest at heart. He wants to separate you from Me and lead you to despair and death.

 

 It is only with Me that you will have life and be able to enter heaven when the time comes to leave this earth. I am the way, the truth and the life and all is yours if you believe in Me and follow Me during your days on earth.

 

 

 

My dear friends, I desire to have you all in My Kingdom today and forever. On the cross I said these two words, ‘I thirst.’ Even today I thirst for you all, for your salvation.

 

On this day of My manifestation to the world, accept Me in your heart, every one of you, My brothers and sisters, and let Me lead you. If you listen to My Church, then you are listening to Me. I am calling you for I love you and I want you with Me.”

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 05 - LIVE EACH NEW DAY WITH LOVE

 

Praised be Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar.  May he be praised as many times as there are stars in the sky, drops of water in the sea, grains of sand on the shore" (Bl. Therese Couderc).

 

 

Mother Teresa  -

With a generous and cheerful smile, we should be able to accept everything that happens, both the joyful things and the sad things.

 

 Meditations by Padre Pio -

 

 Oh how precious time is! Blessed are those who know how to make good use of it, because, on the day of judgment, all will have to render a strict account of it to the supreme Judge. Oh, if only all could understand how precious time is, undoubtedly everyone would do his best to spend it in a praise worthy manner!

 

 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

There is never a singular pleasure by and of itself!

 

"Pleasure is very peculiar: to possess it one must not seek it directly, but rather seek it through something else. Not even an avid cocktail drinker takes a cocktail to have pleasure; rather, he has pleasure because he takes a cocktail.

Pleasure does not cause itself, but is caused by the possession of some good or the attainment of some purpose."

 

St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian. org/directory_ flash.html

 

 During adoration I felt God close to me. A moment later I saw Jesus and Mary. At the sight of them I was filled with joy, and I asked the Lord, "What is Your will, Jesus, concerning the matter about which my confessor told me to ask You?"

 

 Jesus replied, It is My will that he should remain here and that he should not take the initiative of dispensing himself. I asked Jesus whether the inscription could be: "Christ King of Mercy."

 

He answered, I am King of Mercy, but He did not say "Christ." I desire that this image be displayed in public on the first Sunday after Easter. That Sunday is the Feast of Mercy. Through the Word Incarnate I make known the bottomless depth of My mercy.            (88)

 

Strangely, all things came about just as the Lord had requested. In fact, it was on the first Sunday after Easter [April, 1935] that the image was publicly honored by crowds of people for the first time.

 

For three days it was exposed and received public veneration. Since it was placed at the very top of a window at Ostra Brama [Shrine of Our Lady above the "Eastern Gate" to the city of Vilnius], it could be seen from a great distance.

 

At Ostra Brama, during these three days, the closing of the Jubilee of the Redemption of the World was being celebrated, marking the nineteen hundred years that have passed since the Passion of our Savior. I see now that the work of Redemption is bound up with the work of mercy requested by the Lord.             (89)

 

 

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.

 

Jan 5 - LIVE EACH NEW DAY WITH LOVE

 

Of  love and peace, Our Lady said to Jelena:

 

Dear children! I want you to live each new day with love and peace. I want you to be the carrier of peace and love. People need so much those graces of peace and love, but they have lost them because they don't pray!

 

Create in your hearts a permanent prayer, because only thus will you be able to be prepared vessels. Through prayer your Father will build you into the vessels he wants. For this abandon yourselves completely to him (Locution Jelena & Mirajana July 11, 1987).

 

I have given you my love, so that you may give it to others (First Years September 1987).

 

And to Marija in 1985:

 

I have given you my love, so that you may give it to others (First Years September 1985).

 

In Romans, Paul echoes this call to love:

 

Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord (Rom 12:9-11).

 

Reflection:

 

With the Blessed Mother, St. Paul also emphasizes the law of love, which supercedes even civil and religious laws. Sometimes we can excuse our indifference to others simply because we have no legal obligation to help them.

 

 We even can justify harming them if our actions are technically legal.

 

But Jesus and his Mother do not leave loopholes in their call to love. Whenever love requires it, we are asked to go beyond human legal requirements and imitate their loving kindness.

 

Application:

 

Today, reflect on this thought by St. Catherine of Sienna: "The reason why God's servants love others so much is that they see how much Christ loves them, and it is one of the properties of love to love what is loved by the person we  love?"

Message #3033 to Little Mary - November 12, 2007

 

It takes love and willingness to truly imitate Christ"

 

MESSAGE #3033 from the Blessed Mother November 12, 2007

 

My daughter, Life is so precious. Please tell my children to obey God and love, love one another. Be kind and merciful so you do not push others away.

 

Please forgive those who have hurt you and unite your prayers to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

 

Each of you must do your part if you truly want peace in your hearts. It takes love and willingness to truly imitate Christ. Is love truly flowing through your heart? Are you truly walking the path that will lead you to Heaven? Please ask My Son to assist you and then embrace His mercy, forgiveness and love.

 

Jesus truly wants to assist you, so please let go of any evil thoughts that are ruling your life. Let go and turn to God so that doubt does not enter your soul.

 

Learn to trust in God's love and spend time adoring My Son. The way to true freedom is by letting go of your desires and allowing God to be in control.

 

Now, please take time to examine your conscience and then be willing to do penance for your sins. The road to your recovery will then begin. All you have to do is turn to My Son and do your best to imitate Him.

 

I am here to assist you. It is up to you to walk the ways of holiness. It is up to you to truly imitate My Son. Amen.

Message to J.N.S.R. Nov. 12, 2007

 

Is there any Resemblance between you and Me

 

 

                                                                      

November 12, 2007

 

JESUS:  The Day of the Lord can only come to a World asking FORGIVENESS from God:  the same as the Holy Eucharist must only be received after a necessary and sincere contrition of your sins.

 

Why do you doubt what I am asking you, today?

 

Thousands of Masses offered to God for the  World Repentance of the Church and of the children of God.  

 

            Those Holy Masses are not requested to appease the expectations of God, but rather to help  obtain this opportune and divine intervention when suddenly appears for everyone,  their  Redemption.

 

            No human suffering will have been in vain if you keep in your heart the Holy Obedience to God.

 

Those Masses of FORGIVENESS put a stop to the disobedience from which is born this spiritual  war against  the Faith,  from which all our young people suffer today. 

 

The adults themselves are preaching  freedom of morals  and the  abandonment of God , and of His Holy Laws.  That is the descent into Hell.....   

 

            One thing that can still save you are the  thousands upon thousands of Holy Masses,  requested to the Church of God, over and over again.   You will be saved  by the Holy Sacrifice of JESUS on His Holy Cross of Love.

 

                                 Father, forgive them for they know not what they do!

 

            Do not mistake the Voice of the Lord with that of those  Kings,  those  Princes of the World

who, attributing to themselves the Glory of God, are leading their countries to decay and misery. 

 

Do not conspire with them against the Most Holy Trinity.  Come back to God!  The opposite of the disobedience to God is only  obedience to God.

 

The Eight Day will be the First One of Hope.

 

There will be neither space nor time.

 

Then, the Resurrection will be immediate!

 

            That rebirth of the Eight Day, that New Birth will leave you no more time to look back as you will be so thrilled  with its Beauty. 

 

            Therefore, in order to enter there with God, be ready to wear  the white Garment of FORGIVENESS.  Offer to God,  offer to the Father of all Kindness, His Divine Son in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on  the Cross of FORGIVENESS.  

 

My child, let everyone  find oneself

in the text that I give you.

 

            Today, will I be able to find one human being who is repentant?  Who will put forward to Me as Abraham did:  "Lord, for twenty, for ten as for five, will You save the Earth?"

 

            So, I went around this World:  as I went by, not one person stood, no one greeted Me, no one recognized Me.  So, coming near one who was there sitting in front of his door, his head between his knees:

 

            "You who seem to be deep in your thoughts, can you tell Me  who  is standing before you, covering you with His shadow?  Between you and Me, could there be any resemblance?

 

            "Not yet",  answers the stranger without raising his head,  "but I know that in order for You to come to me, to whom no one will speak, the Spirit of God has made You come to me.  My heart is in a desert and I know not what to do". 

 

"Come and follow Me",  said His Lord.

 

            He rose, and without asking Me anything, he followed Me.  It was then that his eyes met Mine and, only then, the boy fell on his knees.  Grace is specific to each person and God knew it. 

 

It is Humility and  the man possessed it.   He is not the one who found Christ.  It is Christ who went looking for him from the ends of the Earth.

 

            He was  madly in love with God  but he did not know it yet.  But JESUS knew it.  At this very moment, the man was already resurrected.  His Resurrection was immediate and his Prayer with Me was a conversation, a heart to heart exchange with Him whose Name is Divine Sacred Heart.

 

            Why mention a man who is a stranger to you?  Because  each  one, with God, has his own story, and because JESUS is the Master of History. 

 

And, because, if such is My Will, I will accomplish in you , all My wishes so as to  save you without your efforts.

 

            But I still continue to leave you your Freedom and it is getting late.  Will you take My request seriously?

 

            Decide, yourselves, of the importance of your choice.  The Warning and the Purification are like two twin sisters that will arrive together,  in that Time. 

 

            A body, still unknown on this Earth, will come to touch it lightly.  It loses control and loses its balance for a moment, like the Dance of the Sun in Fatima. 

 

Then, in that time period, still measurable,  you  will realize whether you have obeyed God, or not!.  The sentence will be according to the obedience or disobedience to God,  once again.

 

            Like the Purification  by the Warning  will be, and like that young man did, your FORGIVENESS follows  your obedience.  He answered Me:  "If I obey You, will You save the World, will You save my brothers?" , for he loved you more than he loved himself.

 

            So I said to him:  "You have already arrived on the New Earth.   Yes, between you and Me, there is a Resemblance" .

 

Can I say the same to each of You?  Shall I say it soon?

 

The Word of the Lord JESUS Christ.

Messages to John Leary Nov.21-Dec.19, 2007

 

Wednesday, November 21, 2007: (Presentation of Mary)

 

Jesus said: “My people, My Blessed Mother knew well about caves as places of protection.  She gave birth to Me in a cave in Bethlehem, as you have visited this site. 

 

She and St.  Joseph had to flee with Me to Egypt, as led by an angel, in order to avoid King Herod’s attempt to kill Me.  Many Holy Innocents had to die because of Herod’s jealousy of My Kingdom over his.  In Egypt our family also was protected in a cave for a dwelling.

 

 

Both of these places have churches erected over these sites in order to honor the sacredness of where I stayed.  So My Blessed Mother knows well of the need for your refuges of protection during the coming tribulation. 

 

Her places of apparition, holy ground places, and caves will also be your places of sanctuary against the evil ones who will want to kill you for your faith in Me. 

 

My Blessed Mother was born sinless and she was prepared in holiness without sin so she could conceive and bring forth a son in Me.  Now, My people are also being prepared and warned of the need for your own places of refuge where My angels will protect you from the evil ones.”

 

 Wednesday, November 21, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, I have warned you before to have some working bicycles ready to use to get to the nearest refuge.

You need bicycle pumps to keep your tires inflated, helmets to be legal, and some kind of rain gear or umbrellas for rainy weather.  Problems may come in using your car if the government implements smart cards as mandatory to buy and sell your gasoline. 

 

You may also run into road blocks or checkpoints on the main roads.  Border crossings may also be a problem for those without chips in your passports.  If you have bicycles as a back up, you can drive your car as far as your gas will go, or the roads will allow. 

 

Then use your bikes to travel the rest of the way.  Travel will be your biggest obstacle in reaching a refuge.  Walking would work also, but it is much slower.  Be prepared to call on your angels to lead you to a refuge when you see martial law declared, or when the authorities try to mandate chips in your bodies. 

 

Avoid chips in your body, even if they threaten to kill you because these chips could control your mind into being a robot.  Trust in My power since one day I will cast all of these evil ones into hell, and My faithful will be rewarded in My Era of Peace.”

 

 Thursday, November 22, 2007: (Thanksgiving Day)

 

Jesus said: “My people, you have a model for Thanksgiving in the one leper that returned to give thanks to God for being cleansed of his leprosy.  I then said to him: ‘Go, your faith has saved you.’

 

Even today, you have many things in America to be thankful for.  You have your freedom of religion and sin in your repentance.  You have been given your faith, your very life, your family and friends, your jobs, your possessions, good health, and the meal for today. 

 

So many of these things you take for granted, but each one is a blessing worthy of your thanks.  In all of My gifts, guard your faith and obey My Commandments, and you truly will be saved as well. 

 

This Thanksgiving feast is a great one for your country, but it would be even better if you were to stop your wars and abortions, so you could live in peace and know the preciousness of life. 

 

Pray for your country to change its sinful ways and repent of your sins.”

Friday, November 23, 2007: (St.  Miguel Pro)

 

Jesus said: “My people, Thanksgiving is barely over and the shoppers and shopkeepers are already preparing gifts to buy for Christmas.  I am more appreciative of My people coming to Mass today than those interested in gifts and possessions.  The attraction of sales and buying gifts is such a contrast of fighting for the last sale item and the joy of the Christmas Season. 

 

In the end these are only material possessions which should not control your lives.  You want to be gracious to your friends and relatives, but it should not put you into so much debt by buying too much.  Many of your children are spoiled too much with expensive gifts. 

 

They would be better off with just a few gifts and let them share with others as well in your giving trees.  When you help the poor, these gifts would be even more appreciated in food and clothing. 

 

As you have seen accidents on the highway, pray for safe travel of your loved ones over the holidays.  Place some holy water inside your vehicles, and keep some emergency items in them for the winter.  In all of your holiday activities think of prayer for everyone as the best gift that you could give them.”

 

 

 Jesus said: “My people, I have told you that I am the Resurrection and the Life, and you cannot have eternal life without Me.  I am that bridge that spreads over the abyss of hell from earth to heaven.

 

 It is My death on the cross that paid the price for your souls and it enables you to enter the gates of heaven.  Give praise and thanks to your Lord for My sacrifice for your salvation.  By repenting of your sins and allowing Me to be Master of your life, you can have your reward in heaven.

 

 You all need to go from this life to the next life, and death is that means of transition.  This life is short, and your mission is to help prepare souls for the end times when I will defeat the evil ones. 

 

Getting people back to Confession and Communion at Sunday Mass is the best help that you can provide for any soul to bring them to conversion.  Saving souls, after all, is the most important mission that you could perform.”

 

 

 Saturday, November 24, 2007: (St.  Andrew & Vietnam martyrs)

 

 

Jesus said: “My people, when you die, have an out of body experience in a near death event, or have the Warning experience, you will be completely detached from the things of this world.

 

 In that state you will wonder why you sought after so many material things that would only pass away and become useless or obsolete.  Even your money and possessions are passing away.  The only thing of value is love of Me and your neighbor, as well as your charitable good deeds.

 

 It is the spiritual things in your life that are most valuable.  When you come face to face with your Creator, you will realize this truth even more.  You do not need this separation of your body and soul in order to learn of these values, because you have My Word in Scripture to show you how important your soul is to your eternal life. 

 

This body will pass away because it is mortal, but your soul will live on because it is immortal.  All the more reason to protect your soul from sin, and renew the graces in your soul by repenting in Confession, and healing sin with Holy Communion.  My sacraments are your source of spiritual food and graces to nourish your soul, and keep it spiritually healthy.

Love of Me and souls should be your first desire, and not the things of the world that pass away.  Keep your focus on praising Me and evangelizing souls, and you will receive your reward in heaven.  Caring for your neighbor in action and prayer will also gain you treasure in heaven.”

 

Sunday, November 25, 2007: (Christ the King)

Jesus said: “My people, My Kingship of all nations is known all over the world, but there are many who do not acknowledge My being Master of their lives.  When I started My public ministry, you have read the Gospels of how I told everyone that the Kingdom of God is upon them. 

 

When you are in My sacramental Presence, you truly have Me among you in My Kingdom through My Real Presence.  You have kings and rulers among you in the material world, but all of their reigns are temporary and are passing away.  I with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit have created all that you see and We even keep it in existence.

We are truly Lord and Master of your lives, even though all that you can see is the hand of Our work in creation. 

 

You are all made in Our image with free will, but you are called to love Me and your neighbor.  You see harmony in nature and it is only man who causes war and destruction of this harmony. 

 

You may recognize presidents and prime ministers as your human authority, but you should even recognize Me as your spiritual King over everything on earth and otherwise.  You are in the end times before I will return to claim My dominion over the earth, and defeat the evil ones. 

 

Trust in My Kingship because My power is over all creation in the angels and evil people.  I await your praise and Adoration of My Kingship every day.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, before people used electric or natural gas clothes dryers, they used to dry things by hanging them on lines either outside or in the basement.  This saved buying another expensive appliance at one time, and the heat energy to dry the clothes. 

 

This is one example of how America has become such an energy consumer of fuels in order to have a higher standard of living.  Americans would rather use energy intensive means of various appliances and machines to save time and ease their physical labor. 

 

America could be less dependent on oil if you looked seriously at alternative fuels and a sincere look at ways to save energy fuels on your conveniences.

 

 

By higher efficient heaters, higher mileage cars, and solar powered devices, you could not only save money, but you also could save fuels.  If America was not so wasteful in its use of fuels, you could be less dependent on oil with less reasons for wars. 

 

America consumes more energy per person than any other nation.  This is why conservation and efficiency is needed to reduce your energy needs and your greed for convenience.”

 Monday, November 26, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, these visions are showing you My love, protection, and direction for your life.  Being in the safety of the nest, as you were at home, is how I watch over your soul protecting you from the temptations of the evil one.

 

You have your parents bring you up from an infant when you are innocent and defenseless.  When you leave the safety of your nest at home, I am still with you guiding you through life’s trials. 

 

The second vision of a guided boat over the water is how I direct your way over the waters of life.  You will be faced with storms when the violent waves will appear to threaten your life.  But I am with you to calm the storm, even as I saved My apostles from drowning. 

 

When you put Me on by faith, I will be like a life preserver protecting you from both physical and spiritual death.  Trust in Me by your daily prayer, and follow My plan for your life by following and carrying out the mission that I have given you. 

 

When you look back on your life, you should grow in confidence and peace at how you have been protected and guided through all of life’s trials by your loving Lord.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, this view of Jerusalem is all about the coming of Advent and how I came among the Promised people in the Jews. 

 

This city housed the Temple of God with the Ark of the Covenant as directed by David and Solomon.  I was called the Son of David in several Gospel accounts.  Your people are preparing for Christmas in your gift buying and your decorations. 

 

Again I am more partial to Nativity Scenes than your secular subjects.  As you read the accounts in Scripture that foretold My coming as a Redeemer, understand how everything about My earthly presence was well planned by My heavenly Father. 

 

I have revealed to man in the Scriptures all that was kept secret from the beginning.  Now you have My Word to meditate on and follow in your actions.  As you prepare for My coming at Christmas, keep focused most on the spiritual message of why I came–for mankind’s salvation.”

 

Tuesday, November 27, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, there are still a minority of faithful that keep their religious traditions in America.  It is this group who prays and evangelizes the lukewarm and converts sinners.

 

 It is because of this remnant that My justice has not fallen on your country sooner.  You have been reading in Daniel of the dreams of the kings that indicated the fall of Babylon.

 

This crumbling empire is very much like America that is crumbling from within because of its immorality.  You have made abortion legal in your court decisions, and you are removing My Name from schools and all public places. 

 

Your people are allowing the one world people to control your money and destroy your economy and military with useless wars.  Because of the evil of your living together and homosexual abominations, America also as Babylon, will fall to its enemies. 

 

Your destruction as a nation will be part of a world takeover that will prepare the way for the brief reign of the Antichrist.

 

This is why when you see martial law declared, it will be the beginning of the end of America.  Then I will lead My people to safety in My refuges where My angels will protect you.  Fear not this time because I will soon overpower all of these evil ones and cast them into hell.  Rejoice when I will usher in My Era of Peace.”

 

 Jesus said: “My people, you are comfortable in your present day church settings for Mass.  But a day is coming when you will not be able to find a proper Mass, or there will be threats of persecution for attending a public Mass. 

 

This will be the time when My faithful may have to attend an underground Mass in the home or in a secret place.  At that time you may need Mass books, vestments, unconsecrated hosts, wine, and candles. 

 

This is why it would be wise to have a Mass kit on hand for all of these needs, provided you could find a priest during this time.

 

 

I have mentioned before if you could not have a Mass, then you could do a spiritual communion to keep united with Me.  Keeping a spiritual community together will be strained during the tribulation, but it is necessary to keep your faith vibrant and strong with those of like mind.

 

Pray for My help in your protection, and I will have My angels deliver you Holy Communion if you cannot have a Mass.  My Eucharist is the spiritual food for your soul, so pray to be constantly fed with My Real Presence.  Give praise and thanks to Me for watching over you and providing for your needs.”

 

 Wednesday, November 28, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, there is a strong parallel between Babylon and America in the reading from Daniel.  The people of Babylon worshiped pagan gods made of gold, silver, bronze, and stone, and they drank wine from the holy vessels of the Temple.

 

 

Because of this flaunting of idol worship and irreverence for God’s holy vessels, the writing on the wall occurred: Mene, Tekel, and Peres.  (Daniel 5:1-29) America also has idols that you worship in new houses, cars, electronic devices, money, and fame or status. 

 

You also are flaunting irreverence to Me by taking God, prayer, and My Ten Commandments from all of your public buildings; not to mention your abortions and sexual sins.  America like Babylon has been found wanting in My judgment when your scales of evil have outweighed the good that you have done. 

 

America’s days are numbered as well when the central bankers will bring about a takeover of your country, and it will truly be sent into oblivion as with the vision.  America will also be divided and given up to the masons and the one world people who will deny your sovereignty rights as you are made a part of the North American Union. 

 

Your people have allowed the central bankers to bankrupt your country with useless war debts, and strip your military of its numbers and strength. 

 

This together with your immorality is what will bring your nation to a total takeover.  When you see mandatory chips in the body, and martial law declared because of a created emergency, you will see the end of your country as a democratic republic. 

 

This will also be the time for My faithful to call on Me and your angels to lead you to the nearest refuge for both physical and spiritual protection from the evil ones and the Antichrist. 

 

Have faith and hope in My power with no fear of these evil ones.  In the end I will vanquish them and cast this evil lot into hell.  My faithful will then be rewarded in My Era of Peace.”

 

 Jesus said: “My people, you may wonder why were the Wise Men the only ones that seemed skilled to follow My Star to Bethlehem?  It is true that they did study the stars and noticed My Star as unusual. 

 

Only the shepherds and the Wise Men came to give Me homage at My birth.  My angels sang about Me, but very few people knew when and where I was born. 

 

Yet the Scriptures in Micah foretold My birth in the city of David in Bethlehem.  I was from a poor family in a humble scene of a stable in a cave.

 

 

I wanted to be in a humble, quiet environment until My public ministry began.  This is also how the Antichrist will be quiet until he is declared. 

 

As you listen to the readings of Advent, you will see all of the prophetic Scriptures come true in My life on earth.  Even in the end times you will again see the Scripture prophecies fulfilled when I will visit the earth with My judgment.  Rejoice in singing My praises as you remember another Christmas celebration.”

 

Thursday, November 29, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, today’s Gospel reminds you that one day I will come on the clouds to judge humanity and separate the evil ones from those who are faithful to Me.  Your mission has been to prepare the people for this time of tribulation. 

 

I have given you signs that will be coming in the famine, earthquakes, and pestilence.  Just as when you see the buds on the trees, you know that spring is coming.  Even so when you see the Antichrist declare himself in power, know that My day of reckoning is near because the Antichrist’s reign will be brief.

 

I will shorten this time of tribulation for the sake of My elect.  Everything that you see now is passing away, and the earth will be renewed after I will bring My Great Chastisement to conquer the evil ones.  Rejoice as the Antichrist will be defeated and My faithful will see My Era of Peace.”

 

 Prayer Group:

 

Jesus said: “My people, I am calling your attention to the abuse and even death of My little children in your current news.

These little ones are nearly defenseless and yet some parents hit them cruelly for crying or misbehaving.  There is also a major abuse going on against the unborn in the mothers aborting their children in the womb.

 Killing the unborn or little children is the ultimate abuse and such abusers, including the doctors, will be held accountable for these killings at their judgment.  I will forgive these sins if the mothers repent, but there will be some heavy reparation needed for this sin of murder.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, you are going to see more waves from the sea cause flooding and drownings from large storms and undersea earthquakes. 

 

You have seen large tsunamis and hurricanes cause extensive damage in New Orleans, Indonesia, and Bangladesh.  These events are more common than you think, and it is only when high population areas suffer that you receive this news. 

 

Pray for the families that have to suffer through these disasters with lost family members and lost homes.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, I want My faithful to wear a Benedictine cross outside of your clothing or under your clothing, whatever you feel comfortable with doing.  These crosses have an exorcism medal that is powerful in warding off demon attacks. 

 

As the tribulation time approaches, you will see more and more persecution for your faith in Me, especially for those who wear their sacramentals openly for everyone to see.” Jesus said: “My people, there are some people who have lost their jobs or have disabilities that do not allow them to find work. 

 

These people need to rely on the generosity of others for food and shelter.  Some should help themselves more, but it is hard to find meaningful employment to even afford a meager living.

 

You remember when My family sought a shelter in Bethlehem, and we could only find a stable.  Pray for these homeless to find a warm shelter for the winter and help donate or help provide shelter for these lowly of society.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, during the Christmas Season you are constantly shopping for gifts to give to your relatives and friends.  Most of your gifts go to people who will return a gift to you. 

 

But you can give a charitable gift to the poor and hungry as in Bangladesh, and they will not be able to repay you, but you will gain treasure in heaven.  You will feel even more loving inside your soul when you can help those in need, especially for the bare necessities for survival. 

 

I use many kind souls to help My little ones in need.  Do not pass up any opportunity to help someone out of love for Me.”

 

 Jesus said: “My people, these beautiful nuns need to be thanked for giving up this worldly life so they could pray for sinners to be saved.  My faithful can take a lesson from those who live in contemplative prayer. 

 

Take some time out of your day for praying for sinners so that they will be given the grace to repent and find their way to My love.  Saving souls is a very important intention for your prayers and your evangelization efforts.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, all of your fuels for heating are becoming more expensive, whether it is for oil, natural gas, propane, wood, or kerosene.  It will be harder for the poor to provide heat for themselves on low budgets. 

 

At times you may even need to help your churches or charities with their heating bills.  Pray that your winter will not be so cold so your heating bills will be less.  It may also be a prudent thing to have some alternative fuels on hand in case you lose your electricity in power failures.  Pray for My help in keeping you warm for the winter.”

 

 Friday, November 30, 2007: (St.  Andrew)

 

Jesus said: “My people, you have read how I called some of My apostles from being fishermen so they could be fishers of men and women for My Kingdom.  I reach out to call everyone to follow Me, no matter what profession or skill that you have.

 

First you are called to a vocation of the religious life, the married life, or the single life.  Each vocation has its own responsibilities, but you should be faithful to that calling and any vows made. 

 

If you are to be true to your faith in Me, you must live your faith in your actions so people can recognize you as a loving Christian.  You all are sinners and need to repent of your sins in frequent Confession.  You also need to consecrate everything over to Me so you are free from the attachments of this world, and you can be fully focused on Me all day long. 

 

When I call you in Baptism and Confirmation to be My followers, you can also be examples to others and reach out to evangelize souls so they can be saved from the evil one.  You are all mine from your very creation, and you were purchased with the price of My death on the cross for your souls. 

 

You have free will because I wanted you to love Me and follow Me by your own choosing.  I do not force My love on anyone.  Follow the narrow road to heaven by letting Me lead you along life’s path.”

 

Jesus said:

“My people, this ingot of gold represents the super rich people who profit from other people’s losses.  There is a collusion of the stock brokers, the owners of large multinational companies, and the central bankers who control interest rates.

 

The corporations, through their lobbies, control the legislation that makes the laws for them to profit from slave labor.  They send jobs abroad with out a tariff on goods imported under their label. 

 

The stock brokers threaten the companies to make more money, or they will take their stock prices down.  The companies make deals with the Federal Reserve central bankers to lower the interest rates to lower their borrowing costs. 

 

It is the man in the street that is losing his home due to loan manipulations, and he is losing his good jobs to take slave labor jobs.  This is why the upper 1% of your rich people have increased their yearly income over 400% and the lower 80% of the population or more have barely kept up with inflation. 

 

The injustices of predatory lending, robbed health benefits, and stolen pensions in layoffs are how the rich are taking advantage of the poor.

 

In the end all of these rich people will lose everything to theft, greed, and finally to death.  All of their massed up wealth will not help them in the next life, but their greed and injustices could weigh them down in purgatory or hell for their evil deeds to swindle people. 

 

Pray for these evil ones to be healed of their stealing and let them help the poor instead by your prayers.”

 

 Saturday, December 1, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, you are again seeing the readings in the end times talk in Daniel (Daniel 7:15-27) of the coming fourth kingdom referring to the Antichrist and his earthly reign for 3 1/2 years. 

 

Daniel spoke of this beast who would gain control over the whole earth, and he would oppress the holy ones of God.  In the Gospel (Luke 21:34-36) it is mentioned again of a tribulation time that will come upon the earth. 

 

The preparation for these end times has been your mission, and you are being vindicated in the prophesies of the messages that I have been sharing with you. 

 

This vision of the Pentagon is one more defeat of your military might by the one world people who are working with Satan to put the Antichrist into power.  You will see your country taken over as part of this North American Union, and the unions all over the earth will be joined under the Antichrist in the European Union. 

 

All of these things are told in the Scripture readings of the last days at the end of this Church year.  Do not have any fear of these evil ones because their reign will be brief.  Did you think that I would allow this evil to continue very long? 

 

Certainly not, for I will come in glory on the clouds to defeat these evil ones and cast them into hell.  My faithful will then see a renewed earth and live in My Era of Peace.” Jesus said: “My people, just as you see the difference between this sickly pine tree and the healthy pine tree, so there is also a difference between a sickly sinner’s soul and a healthy pure soul. 

 

When a tree needs help, you prune off the dead branches and brown needles.  In a soul you want to prune the dark parts of the soul that are dead because of sin.  When you repent of your sins, or come to the priest in Confession, you are making the opportunity to purify your soul of sin by your sorrow for sin. 

 

With contrite hearts to avoid this sin again, you receive absolution from the priest and a cleansing with sanctifying grace that restores your soul to its original holy state after Baptism.  Give thanks and praise to Me for forgiving even the worst of your sins. 

 

When you start your Advent Season, you are doing a little retreat to purify your soul so you can be white and pure to receive Me in My crib at Christmas.  Advent is a preparation for celebrating My coming to earth at Christmas. 

 

Even on this last day of the Church Year, you are also preparing your soul for the day of My return by keeping it holy in Confession.  You may be awaiting My return by constant readiness, but you need to move on in your life to fulfill your personal mission in your work or retirement. 

 

Do not be fearful or anxious about when I will return, but be prepared in your soul and have your hands full of good works.”

 

Sunday, December 2, 2007: (First Sunday of Advent)

 

Jesus said: “My people, you are starting your celebration of Advent and already this vision of myrrh is an anticipation of when I will die on the cross for the sins of mankind.

 

 This crucifix is a focal point of why I came as a man in the first place to the earth, and it is why it is appropriate to be in the center of your altar so you never forget it.  The people who labored to fix your cross are to be commended for their good work.

 

 In the Gospel you hear again this theme of being prepared in your soul to be pure when you celebrate My birth at Christmas. 

 

This wake up call to be always watching, can also carry over into when the Son of Man will come again.  The Gospel makes a point of the sign of evil in the days of Noah.  Just as there is evil all around you, so it will be when I come again.

 

You are living in the end times because of all the signs around you that were not only prophesied, but are being fulfilled even as I am speaking to you now.”

 

 Monday, December 3, 2007: (St.  Francis Xavier)

 

Jesus said: “My people, your movies from Hollywood are corrupting souls all over the world, and this is why these actors and actresses are being tormented with the fires in California.

 

 Especially in ‘R’ movies, the actors flaunt violence, sexual scenes, and vulgar language which are a bad influence for adults and for children. 

 

I have warned you to avoid ‘R’ movies, and even some PG films are bad for children.

Your TV programming is also filled with the same bad influences.

 

So guard your eyes and ears from such occasions of sin and especially protect your children from viewing such filth.  In addition to ‘R’ movies, it is also important to avoid the Harry Potter movies, the Golden Compass series, and any other movies supporting witchcraft and demons for entertainment. 

 

TV and movies are powerful ways to influence the mind and soul, but man has abused these media for evil purposes that require your careful discernment.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, you are now moving into winter with another set of disasters that could cause trouble in the safety of your car travel and cause power outages. 

 

 

Already you are seeing considerable high wind events along the Pacific coast, even as I told you windy events will become more common this winter.  You need to have warm clothing, some food and holy water or blessed salt in your cars in case your car quits or has an accident. 

 

In your homes you need back up fuels for heating as wood, kerosene, or propane to provide heat and a means of cooking if you should lose power in a snow storm. 

 

Just as you stay prepared for your physical survival, you also need to be prepared for your spiritual survival against sin.  Frequent Confession is the best means to keep your soul pure and ready for the day of your death and judgment.  You can also pray an Act of Contrition when you go to bed, or if you feel death is imminent. 

 

If you should die overnight, then you have asked to be forgiven, and you may not have time for Confession.  Being prepared for winter, and for your death, are very practical ways for the survival of both your body and your soul.”

 

Tuesday, December 4, 2007: (St.  John of Damascus)

 

Jesus said: “My people, you could do more good for your people if you manufactured metal goods for civilian uses instead of making so many weapons for war.

 

 This vision of beating swords into plowshares is a good change to stop the profit for making weapons of war.  Take the money incentive out of your wars and these weapons would be useless. 

 

Do not follow the war mongers who cry for more wars and threaten more regime changes for threats that your intelligence has found to be untrue.

 

Work to make peace diplomatically without threats of war.  It is time to bring your troops home while they are still alive.  This is the best help that you could do for them. 

 

Senseless killings and continued bombings are not the reason to continue your constant wars.  Say no to the rich who profit from war, or your civilization will cease to be free.”

 

 Wednesday, December 5, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, you have been witnessing some severe winter weather already with some areas receiving record winds and above average snowfalls or rainfalls.

 

 Even your weather maps have been showing huge storms and erratic jet stream flows causing colder weather than normal.  You may or may not be aware of the HAARP weather making machine that uses extremely powerful microwaves to control and change the jet streams to cause this bad weather.

 

 This maker of bad weather and the chem trails causing flu epidemics, are all part of the one world plan to cause disruption and create emergency situations for their control of people. 

 

Many of your extreme weather events are due to the use of such machines.  This is just an added insight to how evil these people can be just to manipulate your government and the death culture that they promote.  The evil ones will have a brief reign, but they will soon face My judgment for their evil deeds.

 

 Call on My help and My angels to protect you, and use your Hawthorn pills or tea, herbs, and vitamins to protect yourselves from these man-made viruses.”

 

 

 Wednesday, December 5, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, life for the monks can be cold at times in the winter when they only have wood stoves to keep warm.  This is why they wear their hoods more in the winter.

 

You have seen movies of their life which is very often in silence during the week and some talking on Sunday.  They either cut up wood or use coal for their heaters.  Life for the monks is very simple, yet prayerful. 

 

When you watch their lives, you realize how much time people waste on their earthly distractions.  Many times you are curious about the latest news, but usually they report on wars, killings, and weather disasters. 

 

Other times you are curious about the presidential candidates or the latest entertainment events and movies.

Sports, sitcoms, and police stories are on many of your TV channels. 

 

Make enough time in your life for Me, because your prayer life is very important for your spiritual destiny.  Let the monks quiet contemplative prayer be an example for you to follow, especially in Advent.”

 

 Friday, December 7, 2007:

 

Our Lady said: “My dear children, I am happy to welcome all of my pilgrims to my shrine at Betania.  All of you are called to be here and receive my graces to carry on with all of your life’s trials. 

 

You are also about to share in my great feasts of my Immaculate Conception and my feast of all of the Americas in Guadeloupe.  You have passed through Mexico City where the miracle of my image is stored on the tilma.

 

 Many of you have had the joy of seeing my sign in the blue butterfly which is a sign of my presence among you.  I am your heavenly Mother and I put my mantle of protection around all of you.

 

Bring your petitions to me and I will forward them to my Son, Jesus, who listens closely to my requests.  Rejoice in the great joy of our love in our two hearts as we share our union with your love. 

 

Come to Betania with love in your hearts for our two hearts, and share that love with the people of Venezuela.”

 

 Saturday, December 8, 2007: (Immaculate Conception)

 

The Blessed Mother said: “My dear children, thank you for coming to celebrate My Immaculate Conception at this Mass.  When you come to me, I always bring you to my Son, Jesus.  Especially you are becoming intimately united with my Son in Holy Communion. 

 

At times you are looking for signs of my presence, but today you were greeted at Communion by the sun coming out on a cloudy day.  You also were given the inspiration to see me holding the Infant Jesus in the stump of a tree.

 

 This is truly symbolic as you have read of the Stump of Jesse as the father of David.  Both St.  Joseph and myself had a genealogy leading back to David, because Jesus is spoken of as the ‘Son of David’. 

 

I love all of my pilgrims to this shrine and I share the graces of Jesus with you for all that you have had to suffer in coming here.  I am with you always and protecting you with my mantle of protection. 

 

I share the joy of our hearts with your hearts, and our love with your love.  Keep close to my Son by praying your rosaries every day, and you will have my Infant Son always with you.”

 

Sunday, December 9, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, as you come to this grave of My dear one, I am showing you the cross that you all must pick up and carry with Me until your own death. 

 

Walking the Stations of the Cross represents how you must carry your cross through your own stations or trials on earth.

 

 As you approach your own death, you will be coming to the 14th station of your own life in your burial.  You will not experience the 15th station until you are reunited with your body and soul.”

 

 Maria said: “My dear pilgrims, I am praying over all of the pilgrims for help in your life, and I am interceding with Jesus in carrying all of your petitions and prayers to Jesus.  I love you all, and I hope that you can return to the Betania Shrine for as long as you are able.”

 

 

 

 Jesus said: “My people, this vision shows you how I am the center of your life, and everything that you do should revolve around Me.  The events of one’s life circling around Me, represents the vision of your life that you will witness at the time of the Warning.

 

 From your birth and even from conception, until your present moment, you will see all of the good and bad things that you did in your life in a life review.  You will come face to face with your Lord in an out of body experience.

 

 

You will be shown where you would be judged at that time either to heaven, purgatory, or hell.  You will be placed back into your body and given a second chance to improve your spiritual life. 

 

So as the readings proclaim today, repent and change your lives before I return so you will find your reward in heaven.

Reach out and be ready to help guide as many souls as possible to heaven so they are not lost to the evil one in hell.”

 

Monday, December 10, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, during Advent you are seeing the darkness of sin all over the world before I came to release everyone of their sin. 

 

The Light of the Star of Bethlehem is the Light that disperses the darkness.  It is My death on the cross that will release you of your bonds of sin and set you free in the Light of grace, peace, and salvation of your souls.

 

 

It is only when you take a step forward to open the door to your hearts in faith that I can come into your hearts, even as you would be the innkeeper to let the Holy Family into your inn.

This is the same faith that the paralyzed man had that I could heal him, as well as those that carried him in. 

 

Have faith that I can continue to heal you in love for both your body and your soul.  See the love that I have for all of you in dying to save your souls from hell.  Come follow Me out of love and faith in My words and My promises.”

 

 Tuesday, December 11, 2007: (Vigil of Guadeloupe)

 

Mary said: “My dear children, I am the Mother of all of the Americas under the title of: ‘Our Lady of Guadeloupe’.  I am coming in a heavenly appearance as your heavenly Mother clothed in the sun with the moon under my feet. 

 

This gate is the way that I lead my people to the love, graces, and blessings of my Son, Jesus.  This stage represents the stage of life where your actions are performed, and they are the actions on which you will be judged.

 

 Just as I gave my ‘yes’ at the Annunciation, you too are called to give your ‘yes’ to all that Jesus calls you to do.  I said: (Luke 1:26-38) ‘Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.  May it be done to me according to your word.’

 

All of my children should be willing to give everything over to my Son, Jesus.  Only by saying ‘yes’ to my Son can He come into your hearts and mold you into the Christian that you are meant to be. 

 

As you prepare for Christmas, bring the gift of your life back to my Son at His crib as your offering.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, those, who get married, are asked to take vows of serving each other and wear rings to symbolize their love and total commitment.  I am also joined in their lives through the sacrament of Matrimony.

 

 These partners of man and woman are only allowed to have relations if they are married.  All other relations outside of marriage are acts of fornication and should be avoided.  This ring on the door represents another marriage between Me and every soul who wants to make a total commitment to follow Me and do My Will. 

 

I do not want you to have any other gods before Me, because I am the only One worthy of your praise and worship.  The commitment to Me may require you to suffer and help others, even when it demands that you go out of your comfort zone, or change your life. 

 

For all souls that are faithful to My wedding ring of commitment, I will open the gates of heaven and I will invite you to a place that I have prepared for you at My Wedding Banquet.  The lesson is: Be faithful to Me and you will have your reward in heaven.”

 

Wednesday, December 12, 2007: (Feast of Our Lady of Guadeloupe)

 

Mary said: “My dear children, I am happy to see all of my children of Betania and my pilgrims rejoicing at Mass on my feast day of Guadeloupe.

 

 Your singing and your prayers are very effective in sharing your love with all of heaven.  All the saints in heaven and Maria are encouraging you in all of your efforts to save souls. 

 

This darkness in the sky in the vision represents the sins of mankind and your weak faith in the Word of my Son, Jesus.  The worst of these sins are your abortions of the unborn.  I am the patron of the unborn as I appeared to Juan Diego as a mother pregnant with my Son and your Savior.

 

 

 This miracle of the roses and my Guadeloupe image on the tilma is a message of hope for my children to stop your abortions and hold life up as a precious gift, too valuable to kill. 

 

Many of your life’s problems are brought on yourselves by supporting the death culture of abortions, euthanasia, wars, and senseless killings.  Continue to stand up to your society and fight to save the lives of the unborn. 

 

Continue to send letters against this death culture to your government representatives, protest abortions at the clinics, counsel the women contemplating abortion, and pray for these mothers and doctors to stop taking away this innocent life.

 

 If you refuse to fight abortion in some way, then you are committing one of the greatest sins of omission that there is.  I love all of my children, and especially the innocent unborn little ones.  My Son also loves the children, so do not kill his little ones.”

 

Thursday, December 13, 2007: (St. Lucy)

 

Jesus said: “My people, today you are celebrating the feast day of St.  Lucy who is the patron of those with eye problems.

 

 

In the vision of all of these eyes it is the eyes that are the windows to the soul.

 

 I have also spoken to you of having the eyes of faith to recognize the events going on around you, which are the signs of the end times.  The first eye is the all knowing eye of God where We watch over all of our children.

Another is the eyes of Maria Esperanza which you remember as always having the joy of her God and My Blessed Mother present.

 

 

You also see Maria’s joy filled eyes in the eyes of her children.  On your pilgrimage you are all looking into each other’s eyes and you are sharing and comforting each other in all of your pains and trials. 

 

With My grace and My Blessed Mother’s encouragement, you are all given hope and support to help you through this life on your road to heaven.  I also want you to remember the poor souls in purgatory in your prayers so you can comfort them in shortening their suffering time.”

 

Friday, December 14, 2007: (St.  John of the Cross)

 

Jesus said: “My people, on this feast day of St.  John of the cross I am reminding you again of My crucifix, and how you need to carry your own cross along life’s path.

 

 In every way that you follow Me, you need to offer up your suffering and share it with My suffering on the cross.  In everything that you do, you need to do it for Me out of love and according to My Will. 

 

Before you start any project, ask Me to help you in your efforts.  Once you make a plan, then ask Me if it is right for you.  Pray also to the Holy Spirit for discernment to affirm that what you are doing is in conformity with My Church and the Scriptures. 

 

By your good deeds you will see the fruit of following My ways instead of the ways of the world.  Also, be prepared to change your plan if I disapprove of what you are about to do on your own. 

 

Every time that you do something on your own and it fails, you will see why it is better to follow My lead than going ahead of Me.  Learn from the life of St.  John of the cross how best to lead your lives in full trust of what I think is best for your soul.”

 

 Saturday, December 15, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, this is joy Sunday on the Third Sunday of Advent.  It is why you are seeing these joyful celebrations in the vision. 

 

There is joy all over the world as the earth prepares to celebrate My coming as your Redeemer at Christmas.  Today you start to see more readings about St.  John the Baptist as he prepares the way for My coming. 

 

He prepared the people as a voice in the desert who preached repentance and a change of life for the better.  Even as you prepare to celebrate My coming at Christmas, you also need to listen to My prophets of today who are also preaching repentance in preparation for when I come again. 

 

The circular signs in the vision are pointing toward the Warning and how to prepare for the coming tribulation.  After I vanquish the evil ones, you will see My Era of Peace.  So rejoice in My coming at Christmas and at My Era of Peace.”

 

Monday, December 17, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, these different intensities of Light, as chandeliers in the vision, represent various souls rising to heaven.  The intensities of Light are appropriate for the souls going to the different levels in heaven.

 

 The brighter and larger lights were going to the higher levels of heaven.

More souls go to heaven on the feast days of My Blessed Mother, and the most souls go to heaven on Christmas Day.

 

 Continue to pray for the souls in purgatory so they can be released sooner, and they can pray for you in return.  My love reaches out to every soul, but My justice demands reparation for your sins.”

 

 Ed said: “I want to thank John and Carol for your wonderful friendship at this same Adoration Chapel, and it is fitting to be here on my funeral day.  I love my wife, family, and all my friends who came to my funeral. 

 

I was very touched by their friendship also.  Please pray for me because I only need a few Masses to be in heaven as one of these bright souls that you saw earlier.”

 

Tuesday, December 18, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, My dear St.  Joseph was tested with My Blessed Mother’s pregnancy by the power of the Holy Spirit.

 

 

He was in a quandary as to whether or not to divorce his wife because of the Jewish laws of the time.  But he did not want to put My Blessed Mother at risk to stoning, so he intended to divorce her quietly. 

 

Once an angel warned him that this child, being Me, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, St.  Joseph did take Mary to be his wife into his home.  The vision shows a picture of his woodwork as a carpenter. 

 

My Blessed Mother took a step in faith to accept the consequences of having Me conceived at the word of St.  Gabriel. 

 

This was the risk that she took to have a child out of wedlock, but St.  Joseph protected her from any shame or the law.  St.  Joseph was always taken back that he was not My true father, but he brought Me up as his true son in teaching Me carpentry. 

 

Many times there are trials with children conceived out of wedlock, but not as My Blessed Mother had conceived.  Pray for these couples for their sins to be forgiven, and where possible that they could be married.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, there is still a communist curtain around communist China, and there is still slave labor being used to manufacture their exports at a cheap price.  The flood of water represents a flood of exports leaving China and a flood of imports coming into America. 

 

Many of your American corporate leaders have little sympathy for the human abuses of the poor to reduce them to slaves. 

 

All they want is cheap labor so they can lower their costs and make more money, even at the expense of lost American jobs to overseas countries.  These same employers are lowering American wages, benefits, and eliminating pensions.

 

 

In lowering salaries these greedy employers are lowering the average standard of living of all of their workers.  These same employers desire more work from their employees for less pay.

Because of this unjust exploitation of workers, these employers will have to suffer dearly for their greed for more money.

China is benefitting from their surplus trade, and your technical know-how to build their war machine.  America is becoming too dependent on foreign goods and foreign oil because of your greedy corporations, and this could be the beginning of your downfall. 

 

Trust in Me to lead you on the right path in your spiritual life so you can be less drawn to the tthings of this world.  Focus on Me and have no other gods before Me.”

 

Wednesday, December 19, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, this message today is all about new birth in both the readings and the birth of the new Era of Peace.

 

 The first reading spoke of an unusual birth of Samson, and the second reading of a miraculous birth of St.  John the Baptist when his parents were beyond normal child bearing age.

 

 

This is a foreshadowing of My own birth which was another miraculous birth from a virgin by the power of the Holy Spirit.

My birth was a fulfillment of the Scriptures from Ahaz that a virgin would give birth to a son who would be called Emmanuel.

 

 

(Isaiah 7:10-14) You are all preparing even now for the feast of My birth on Christmas.  This is a joyous time of My peace, even among your premeditated wars of the rich.

 

 

  The evil ones will have a short reign of evil, but I will come and destroy them all and cast them into hell.  Then I will renew the earth and bring about My true peace in the Era of Peace. 

 

It will be at that time that I will bring down the New Jerusalem on earth.  This vision of a beautiful glowing city shows the Light of the city in all of its glory, even during the night time.  Rejoice at this feast of Christmas and My New Jerusalem that will usher in My Era of Peace.”

Messages to John Leary Dec. 19,2007-Jan. 2, 2008

 

Wednesday, December 19, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, in this vision you can see how beautiful your planet appears in shades of blue color.  It is sad that mankind is slowly upsetting the delicate balance of nature with your water and air pollution.

 

Global warming is just one facet of nature, but mankind is also destroying the marine life balance as well.  Coral reefs are being destroyed and the fishing banks are being over fished so they are hard to replenish.

 

 If man does not stop destroying his environment by clearing rainforests and burning too many fossil fuels, then I will have to intervene to restore the necessary balance of nature to its former purity. 

 

Man has been delving into cloning and DNA manipulation where he should not be changing nature that was already perfect.

 

 Pray that mankind will make more sincere efforts to repair the damage that he has done, so he can hand over a better world to the next generation.”

 

Thursday, December 20, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, I had prepared My Blessed Mother for many years to be without sin at conception, and she abided by My Will to continue her purity to and beyond the time of My birth.

 

 In this way My Body was always in a pure and sinless environment until My birth.  My Blessed Mother was the first tabernacle for her Lord, even as you are tabernacles briefly after you receive Me in Holy Communion. 

 

There are many things that you do around Christmas in preparing gifts, decorations, and meals for this holiday season.  But beside all of these distractions, you should be most focused on My coming into the world as a means for your spiritual salvation.

 

 My becoming a man as the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, shows you how much I love all of you to lower Myself to your level, and later die for all of your sins.

 

  This is a blessing beyond all proportions that your little minds can hardly understand.  Give praise and thanks to your Lord as you commemorate My Incarnation as a man at Christmas.”

 

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: “My people, this truly is a Marian Shrine in Betania and My Blessed Mother and Maria Esperanza still visit this shrine, and are giving messages to two of the daughters.

 

Many are curious of the messages received there, but they are private for the family in directing their operations of the shrine grounds and the new retreat houses for the pilgrims.

Pray for them to be able to carry out the work that heaven is directing them to do.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, you all want to honor Me with your gifts at My crib, and the flowers around My altar.  Just as the shepherds came with their sheep, and the Magi with their gifts, so you feel drawn to My love on Christmas, and to share My peace with everyone. 

 

Christmas time is to be shared with your family and those that you meet on the streets.  Love needs to be shared with others and it cannot be put under a bushel basket, just as you share light in a house.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, in some areas of your country there are plenty of lakes for drinking water, but other areas are experiencing droughts and fires. 

 

Your weather conditions are showing higher than normal snowfalls in the North and less rain in other areas.  Still the ice storms and violent winds have been unusual for this time of year.  Pray that you will find protection for storms and enough food for any power outages.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, you are already seeing Christians being persecuted for their faith in Moslem and communist countries.  Be alert because you will see more of the same in America and elsewhere as evil will be spread all over the world during the tribulation. 

 

Pray for My help to stand up to these evil ones so you may keep your faith strong, even when your life is threatened.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, on every great feast day heaven exults in prayer and singing to add to the celebrations on earth.  Remember that heaven is watching all of your actions and your feast celebrations as well.  Take time to meditate on your Advent Readings as they have a deeper meaning for your preparations for when I will return in glory.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, even as you make preparations for Christmas in your decorations and gifts, others are preparing refuges for the time of the tribulation.

 See how rapidly these old resort dwellings were renovated for the coming trials of evil.  In the Exodus there was a sense of haste to leave Egypt for the Promised Land.

 

 Now in your modern Exodus there is another sense of haste to have your refuges prepared in time for the coming reign of evil.  My angels will protect you at My refuges, and they will provide for all of your needs.  So have no fear of this time.”

 

 Jesus said: “My people, take a lesson from My Blessed Mother when she freely went over hard terrain to help her kinswoman, St.  Elizabeth, even when she herself was pregnant.

 

 

At every opportunity reach out to help your neighbor in need with joy, and do not complain of any inconvenience to your time.

 

 

Christmas is a time of joy and peace, and you should be willing to share what you have with others both in time and money.”

 

 Friday, December 21, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, this vision of being turned upside down is exactly what is going to be happening to your world as you know it.  There will be more unusual and record breaking natural disasters that will include earthquakes, storms, volcanoes, and tsunamis. 

 

In addition to these natural order events there will also be major upheavals in the governments of your nations all over the world.  Microchips will be more widely implemented in an attempt to control people’s minds.

 

When these events will cause martial law, you will need to be ready to go to My refuges of protection.  As these events get closer, I will be giving you more specific information about your preparations.

 

 

Let this be a warning to you that the serious events are about to occur with a faster frequency.  Have no fear of these events because I will give you the strength and protection to endure them.

 

” Jesus said: “My people, I have warned you before to have some alternate sources of heating your houses ready in case of power outages in the winter.  This could involve wood fires, kerosene burners, or propane burners for cooking and heating.

 

 

The vision of a wood fire also came with a concern for where to store all of the ashes from your wood burning.  In other words it would be wise to be prepared for enough fuel in case your power outages could go into months before electricity could be restored. 

 

You also should have oil in your lamps for light, or mechanically powered flashlights.  Batteries will only last a short time, so reusable devices will be more useful.  Your natural gas burners usually require electricity to operate, so getting heat from a line without using electricity may be another option if gas is still available.  You have seen how vulnerable you are in winter with your ice storms. 

 

So be prepared for these events happening again because the one world people know how to cause these storms, and can turn off your power to control you. 

 

With My grace and blessings I could even multiply your fuel in a long power outage.  Trust in My help, but make sure your alternative heating means are in working order.”

 

Saturday, December 22, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, it is a good gesture to buy gifts for your family and friends, but it is over done when you spend more than your family budget can afford.  Many go into debt to pay for their Christmas spending spree.

 

 Your focus should be on giving Me praise and glory, and wishing people a ‘Merry Christmas’ instead of happy holidays.  It is sad when your shopkeepers are instructed not to mention ‘Christmas’, and they make their biggest profits on this day. 

 

Do not praise the gods of the mall and the things of the world.  Only I am worthy of your praise and Adoration.  These gifts will soon be forgotten, but I will always be present before you as your loving God.

 

 

Love for Me should come before all the glitter of this temporary world.”

 

Sunday, December 23, 2007:

 

Jesus said: “My people, the account of My birth in Bethlehem talks about a stable scene when we were refused places at the inn.  Those, who have traveled to Bethlehem, know that this place for the animals was really located in a cave where there was hay in the creche. 

 

This coming to Bethlehem was all started by a decree of Caesar and the Romans which demanded that everyone had to be registered with their original tribe.

 

 

Bethlehem was the house of David and where St.  Joseph and My Blessed Mother had to register.  Even now in the coming time of tribulation, My faithful remnant will have to seek out places of refuge of My Blessed Mother’s apparitions, places of holy ground, and places of caves for protection from your government authorities. 

 

Your government will soon demand that you will need microchips in your driver’s licenses and in your passports.

Eventually, if you do not take chips in your bodies, the authorities will try to kill you in detention death camps.

 

  This is why you will need to seek My refuges of protection even in caves, as we had to hide from Herod in Egypt.”

 

 Monday, December 24, 2007: (Vigil of Christmas)

 

Jesus said: “My people, in the readings you are seeing the themes of joy and peace that I would like to see all over the earth.  If all of you could live My Christmas message of peace, there would be no wars. 

 

Think of your own families and how you could heal any grudges or disagreements, so you all could truly be a loving family.  Many of your jealousies or greed for things can get in the way of love for one another.

 

 Make an effort this Christmas to heal any anger that could cause ill will or separations.  If you can achieve peace and love in your families, then you could more easily achieve peace among your nations. 

 

By trying to be peacemakers in your families and between nations, you can truly work toward imitating the harmony that I have created in nature.  It is man’s wrong choices that have broken up families and have caused wars among nations.

 

 

Work to restore love between everyone, and you truly will be working to restore peace all over the world.”

 

 Tuesday, December 25, 2007: (Christmas)

 

Jesus said: “My people, when I came into the world as a man, I was truly a King of Kings, even as an Infant.  Some countries honor Me as El Nino in a novena to Christmas.  Some know Me as the Infant of Prague. 

 

I truly answer your prayers and petitions either as an adult or as an infant because I am outside of time, but historically you followed My growing up to a man while I was in human form on the earth. 

 

Today, you honor and praise Me as an Infant King, even as you are viewing My scepter in the vision.  All of the angels sang their Gloria in the Highest to Me as they helped to bring the shepherds to My crib.  So I invite all people to know and love Me in the peace of My appearance in the crib on My birthday. 

 

You remember how you celebrated the birth of all of your children.  Now you can celebrate the commemoration of My birth, even as you share gifts with each other.  Most of all share your love with Me and your neighbor.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, you are just finishing Advent and already I am sharing some more refuge messages.  The significance of the fast travel to the refuges in the mountains is not about the speed of the vehicle, but it is about how soon you will need to go to My refuges for protection.  Events are going to move so fast that they could precipitate martial law in a short time. 

 

Be constantly prepared to leave both spiritually with Confession, and physically with plenty of sacramentals to share with those who have none. 

 

Have your priest bless your sacramentals and salt so you can have your weapons to fight the demons.  You are in a constant battle between good and evil, so do the best that you can to save souls, especially in your own family.”

 

 Wednesday, December 26, 2007: (St.  Stephen)

 

Jesus said: “My people, when you believe in Me and follow My Commandments, you will always be faced with persecution.  The world and the body loves comforts and pleasures that can be unlawful. 

 

The spirit of the soul searches for the love of its Creator, and to follow My Will.  This is why even in each person there is a battle going on between the spirit and the flesh.

 

 

The devil has prodded people to start wars for profit and for gain in property.  Do not be misled, but search for the truth and eternal life instead of following anything of the world which is temporary and passing away. 

 

Those, who come to Me in faith, will be set free of their sins when they ask for My forgiveness.  Be satisfied with your lot in this life because you are seeking to be with Me in heaven in the next life after death.  Spread the peace and joy of My Gospel message of love to all nations, as you strive to save souls from going to hell.

 

 

Repent now, for now is the acceptable time to be saved.

 

” Jesus said: “My people, the one world people are masters of deceit and they have created many deliberate atrocities in order to stir up people into fighting a war. 

 

They profit from selling arms to both sides and they make money from your taxpayers on the interest from your war debts.  These are some of their slogans:

 

Remember the Maine, Remember the Alamo, Remember the Luisitania, Remember Pearl Harbor, and Remember the Twin Towers.

 

 

All of these wars were planned and contrived by these same evil men.  I am warning you about this now, because you are about to see another made up reason for war which could trigger the very martial law that they want to declare for their takeover. 

 

When you see such an event, you should be prepared to call on My protection with My angels, and be ready to leave for safety at My refuges.”

 

Thursday, December 27, 2007: (St.  John the Evangelist)

 

Jesus said: “My people, the vision of hands joined over water represents a faithful person leading a convert to Baptism of their sins after repentance.

 

 I gave a command to all of My apostles to go out to all of the nations and share My Good News of salvation by baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  (Matt.  28:19) This also applies to all of My baptized faithful that you also are called to save souls, especially in your own family. 

 

You are all here on this earth to know, love and serve Me.  It is the devil who does not want to serve Me, and he tries to get you to not serve Me as well.

 

 

Other people have more specific missions, as yourself.  As you were given a message from your namesake, your mission of preparing people for the end times is an enlightenment for My faithful to be forewarned. 

 

Everyone has their own mission to accomplish, and with My help and their listening to My Word, everyone will be provided the ability to carry out their mission.”

 

Prayer Group:

 

 

Jesus said: “My people, I want to thank your prayer group for keeping your meetings, even among the holidays.  There is so much evil going on in the world and it is hard to have time for a vacation from prayer. 

 

Prayer for peace is needed even more than before because the evil of the tribulation draws near.

Continue to keep your daily prayers coming and ask Me to multiply them to offset all of the sin in the world. 

 

As you think of things to improve for the New Year, finding a little more prayer time could help in saving more souls that may be lost otherwise.”

 

 Jesus said: “My people, security and safety from thieves breaking in has become big business, especially in foreign countries or cities that have high crime rates.  Such concern about break-ins is why many churches have locked their doors.

 

Only a few churches leave rooms open to visit My tabernacles in off hours. 

 

Even as you need to protect My tabernacles from stealing the Hosts, it is still good to be able to encourage extra visits to see Me in My tabernacle.  Pray for My help in how to discern proper safety for My Hosts.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, it is sad when anyone is killed or injured by dangerous animals in a zoo.  This incident was more accidental in nature because a wild animal was loose.  In other deaths you are seeing planned killings or killings for money.

 

In these cases there are people who need to be held responsible for the taking of life.  I am the giver and taker of life and those, who violate My laws, will have to pay a heavy price.

 

Pray that these people will learn the errors of their ways, and will change how they view the preciousness of life.”

 

 Jesus said: “My son, when I asked you to make a DVD of one of your talks to distribute, this sounded like a relatively easy job in your technical world.

 

 Little did you know that the evil one could cause you so much interference in this task.  Just as you have seen in the past, whenever you do anything of spiritual importance, you need to pray for success first and a novena to bring this work to a good conclusion. 

 

Now that you have the tools to go forward, it is important to both pray and work quickly because time grows short while this work can yield some fruit.”

 

 Jesus said: “My people, I have told you before that it is good to belong to prayer groups so you can share your faith with like minded friends. 

 

Prayer groups are also helpful to draw on each other for spiritual and physical comfort in your daily problems.  They can also be a good help when you may need to hold underground Masses or plans for where to go for refuges in the end times. 

 

If you do not have a prayer group, you may want to try and start one among your friends or relatives.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, sometimes you have to mix your spiritual needs with your physical needs.  The importance of prayer in your lives is just one example of how your prayer can be practical in accomplishing your mission. 

 

By praying for My help in each of your tasks, your life will go much smoother, even among the difficulties of life.  When you trust in Me in your prayer, you have a confidence that your earthly life cannot give you. 

 

Your spiritual goals and your physical goals are hard to separate.  I have created everything, and all of nature should be in harmony with My Will.  I know all of your needs more than you know them, so do not forget to involve Me in everything that you do.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, you have already shared your gifts with one another, but now I ask you to think a little beyond exchanging gifts to gifts that are given without any expectation of a pay back in any way. 

 

When you give gifts of time and money to the poor, you will store more treasure in heaven because the poor cannot pay you back except to thank you. 

 

These kind of gifts have more joy and love associated with them because you may be helping a poor person to survive, or find a means to help themselves.

 

 Continue to always be watching for anyone who needs help so you can gain a grace that will be stored in heaven.”

 

Friday, December 28, 2007: (The Holy Innocents)

 

Jesus said: “My people, today’s feast is in memory of all the infants up to two years old that were killed by Herod’s decree in Bethlehem. 

 

This was Herod’s attempt to kill Me after the Magi refused to tell him where I was born.  Today, there are other innocents being killed in the womb by abortion.  In some instances abortions have become the last resort birth control where having children is either an embarrassment or an inconvenience to take care of another child. 

 

There are many sins of fornication and adultery going on in America outside of the marriage bed.  Living together without marriage is a sinful lifestyle and this flaunts their sin in My face because it is a deliberate sin against My Sixth Commandment. 

 

This sexual sin is compounded when any conceived children are aborted.  Even among married couples there are sins of using birth control devices which are the precursor for abortions to control family size. 

 

The marriage act needs to be always open to birth and the Church only allows Natural Family Planning methods without birth control devices.  Some married couples also have abortions thinking they cannot afford another child.

 

  All abortions kill innocent life, and they are the same as murder in My eyes.  They will require a heavy payment to make reparation for the worst of sins.  I still will forgive such a sin, but do not put yourself in these situations that could tempt you to have abortions.

 

 

Better to have the children and give them up for adoption than have an abortion.  Having children should be the product of a loving environment without any intent to kill them out of inconvenience.

 

 Life is too precious to kill, so follow My laws to avoid birth control, prostitution, fornication, or adultery that could lead to abortions. 

 

When you live a life of love according to My laws of love, then there can be true peace among everyone, especially in this Christmas Season.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, do not get so comfortable with your home and your belongings that you cannot leave them in a minute’s notice.  I am showing you how quickly a chance storm could ruin your home and all that you own.  Everything of this world is temporary, and will be gone tomorrow. 

 

This is why you should not be so attached to your possessions that you cannot let them go.  A time is coming in the tribulation when you will have to leave everything behind and flee to a refuge to save your life and protect your soul. 

 

Have no fear of this time because I will be at your side to provide for all of your needs, both spiritual and physical.  Do not just accumulate things for your own benefit, but be willing to share all that you have with others. 

 

It is your love in charity to help others that will help balance off the punishment due for your sins.”

 

 Saturday, December 29, 2007: (St.  Thomas Becket)

 

Jesus said: “My people, your winter weather will be like this vision.  At times it will be cold, icy, and blustery snow, while at other times it will be mild with the snow melting. 

 

It would be better if My people were also hot or cold in their faith, and not just lukewarm.  (Rev.  3:15,16) ‘I know thy works; thou art neither cold nor hot.  I would that thou wert cold or hot. 

 

But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit thee out of My mouth.’ If you truly know the faith and are not on fire with My love, how can I know you?  Do not just come to church and go through the motions of Mass just to be there. 

 

You must have love for Me in your heart, and be willing to live out My ways in your life throughout the whole week and not just for one hour.  If you truly love Me, you should say so in your prayers every day.

 

 You do not just tell your spouse that you love them only once a week, but you show your affection every day, or your love will soon die.  So be on fire all the time in loving Me and your neighbor, and your reward will be great in heaven.”

 

Jesus said: “My people, there will come a time of tribulation when the evil ones will want to place a microchip in everyone to control your thoughts and give worship to the Antichrist. 

 

Refuse to take any chips in your body, even if these evil ones threaten to kill you.  I am showing you how to find hiding places either at your home temporarily or at an interim refuge. 

 

When you are in trap door locations, pray for My protection that these evil ones will be blinded from detecting you by infra-red, radar, or dogs scenting you.  Some of My faithful will be martyred, but they will go straight to heaven as saints with little pain.

 

 The rest will be protected by My angels on your way to My refuges.  Take care that you have some good hiding places wherever you are staying.  I will provide for your needs, so have no fear of these evil ones.”

 

Sunday, December 30, 2007: (Holy Family Sunday)

 

Jesus said: “My people, the family is the core of your social units, but it is being attacked on all sides from the evil one and your cultural traditions. 

 

Unfortunately, worldly things and secular events are overshadowing your spiritual traditions, and Christmas is just one example.  Your husbands and wives have become lax in their prayers as a family, and when both work, it puts a strain on love relationships and taking care of the children.

 

 Many of your individual desires are placed over the good of the family, and this is why you are seeing so many divorces.  Love can grow cold unless there is an underlying faith commitment and a desire for what is best for the family to survive. 

 

There are many pressures from the workplace, paying bills, and keeping up with all of your activities outside of the house.  When you pray with Me as a part of your family, you will have the graces to overcome difficulties as job losses, illnesses, or deaths in the family.

Pray for your families, because every divorce divides My human family, and you need love to keep your peace.”

 

Monday, December 31, 2007: (New Year’s Eve Mass)

 

Jesus said: “My people, receive My Blessed Mother and I into your hearts as we share our love and joy with all of you.

I am calling all of My children to be loving in every situation that you find yourself. 

 

At times you try to be generous with your gifts to people, but you may have your own strings attached to them.  If someone does not share your enthusiasm with your gift, and they wish to change it or reject it, do not be offended by their attitude without much gratitude for your efforts. 

 

Be loving of the receiver of your gift and try to accommodate their wishes.  At other times you may see people presume upon your generosity without asking you first. 

 

You may also give gifts to the poor and at times they do not acknowledge your sacrifice and they may not thank you.  Even if people do not acknowledge your good intentions, I see all of the intentions in your heart and I thank you on their behalf. 

 

Even if someone takes advantage of your kindness, be always loving in these trying situations.  You give from a generous heart, so do not let your damaged pride interfere with your loving heart for everyone.  Love one another and your Lord, even as you wish others to love you.”

 

Tuesday, January 1, 2008: (Solemnity of Mary)

 

Jesus said: “My people, these open gates to the Light of heaven is a remembrance that this is one of My reasons for becoming a man.  I brought salvation to mankind to save him from his sins, but I also opened the gates to heaven that had been closed since Adam’s sin.  This is a blessing that now worthy souls could celebrate being with their loving God in all of My splendor. 

 

The clouds in the vision, that covered up the Light of heaven from time to time, represent the sins of man that continue to occur when man turns his back on Me in worshiping earthly gods and possessions. 

 

Being with Me in heaven should be every soul’s goal, but at times you allow the distractions of the world to take your focus off of the One you should love more.  I allow you to renew the graces in your soul through Confession. 

 

Then My Light and warmth of My love can light your path to follow Me in stronger faith.  Be grateful and thank Me for saving you from your sins by My death on the cross, as well as opening the gates of heaven for you to enter and share in the love of My Wedding Banquet.”

 

 Jesus said: “My people, this vision of a man being drawn into a black hole represents the power of evil on man at the time of the tribulation.  I have told you that then you will see an evil that you have yet to see, and all the demons in hell will be unleashed on the earth. 

 

 

During this time you will need Me and My angels to protect you from the evil ones, and you will find more protection at My refuges.  My refuges will be your best safe haven where My angels will do battle for you against the demons.

 

 This is all the more reason to have your souls purified, and your bodies protected with blessed sacramentals as rosaries, scapulars, Benedictine blessed crucifixes, blessed salt, holy water, and medals and prayers of exorcism.  My Warning will come first to wake people up to the kind of evil that they will be facing.  You will be warned not to take any chips in your body or any mark of the beast.  Also do not look at the Antichrist’s eyes that could control you. 

 

Keep prepared for this evil battle, but know that My power will win out in the end as Satan will be crushed in defeat.  Trust in Me and love Me, and you will have no fears and no worries.”

 

 Wednesday, January 2, 2008: (St.  Basil & St.  Gregory)

 

Jesus said: “My people, in this vision you are seeing these monks living a monastic life of silence that is not attached to any of the distractions of the world. 

 

These distractions interfere with your prayer life, and you have rightly prayed in the past to pray to have any demons of distractions to leave you.  This silence of the monastic life is a good example to all of you to try and allocate some time for silent meditation and even contemplative prayer.

 

 I have asked you to spend five to ten minutes in silence at your Adoration time, but more time would be better during the day.  During this silence, practice focusing on the love of your Lord for you, and show your love and thanks to Me.  Use this time to remind yourself that every day should be consecrated to Me in all of your actions. 

 

Ask Me to help you in all of your projects.  You will see that these moments of silence will give you a chance to recollect where you are in your spiritual life, so you can improve on your path to sainthood. 

 

Also, help focus your love on your neighbor in how best to help them physically and in their spiritual lives.  You will see that these silent moments will be your little refuge or oasis for Me away from the world’s concerns.”

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette January 5, 2008

 

I embrace you all

 

Reading: Revelation 12:1-12

 

Dear friends,

 

A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. Revelation 12:1

 

I celebrated Holy Mass at 7:30 last evening followed by a healing service for the people who attended. A friend of mine shared about the good news he received from his sister yesterday.

 

She had been married for seven years but they did not have a child. Every one of her pregnancies ended in miscarriage.

 

She came here last year for prayers that she could carry her child to term. Her child was born yesterday, a beautiful baby boy, and completely normal. Let us thank the Lord for His goodness.

 

Today at 9:30 a.m. I will celebrate Holy Mass in the prayer room - the little shrine of Our Lady.

 

I was in prayer for half an hour this morning and our Blessed Mother said, Melvin, my priestly son, I love you. I bless you all, my sons and daughters in this New Year 2008. I love you all with all my heart, especially you who are suffering in body or spirit. I intercede for all of you every day.

 

Today is the eve of the Feast of Epiphany, which honours the visit of the three Magi to the Child Jesus in Bethlehem.

 

They came from very far away to render homage to the New Born King. They were guided by a star to the place where He was. The Magi came with gifts for the Infant Jesus.

 

The first who came to visit the Child Jesus were the Jews and now with the Magi, it was the turn of the Gentiles to come and honour Him. Jesus, my Son, came for the salvation not only of the Jews but also of the whole human race. He is your Saviour and your God.

 

He came into the world in a very humble way, born in a cave that was used as a stable. Yet the Father showed in different ways His great pleasure at the birth of His Son. A great choir of angels sang with delight the night He was born and the angels were sent by the Father.

 

I call you all, my children, to live with Jesus in your heart every day. He wants to make His home in you permanently. Open your hearts to welcome Him daily and may your loving relationship with Him grow every day through prayer and service.

 

Join me in praying for those who do not believe or who follow the wrong path, that they will soon be converted and follow Jesus, my Son. Spend some quiet time with Him every day, that you will grow more and more in forgiving those who hurt you and in loving all your brothers and sisters. I embrace you all.

 

Father Melvin

 

P.S. Good news: Brando's father wrote that his son is completely healed and completely healthy.

A Time of Warning: 2008 � 2012

 

January 1, 2008             

2:00pm

The Rock

Shrine of Our Lady of the Island

Eastport, NY

From St. Michael The Archangel

 

Behold The Light & Listen!

 

The Light, I, Michael The Archangel, speak of is the Light of God The Father in Heaven, the Creator of Heaven and Earth; the Light of the Son and Redeemer who came into your world to save humanity from the sins of the world; and the Light of the Holy Spirit that is now being manifested so profoundly and powerfully among those of you who have chosen to follow the plan of God the Father for all humanity.

 

You are entering into the period of time that will be perilous indeed for the future of humanity, but you are also entering a period when great changes will be brought about for the better of humanity. These changes will be felt interiorly by those who have committed themselves to the plan of the Creator for humanity.

 

These will be glorious times, but also deadly times. Glorious for those who have chosen the path of the Father and deadly times for those who have chosen a secular and hedonistic path in the course of their lives.

 

For the events that will take place in the next five years are events that have been foretold by the ancient prophets as well as the prophets of modern times, who have been called upon by your Lord and Saviour to warn the world of the times to come.

 

What you can expect is that there will be great changes to your planet.

 

These changes will be brought about initially by geopolitical events, but ultimately by geophysical events that will be the result of the bad actions of mankind; and by the decisions of your leaders and power brokers, who have been secretly and covertly pillaging the natural wealth and beauty of your planet for their own greed-filled desires.

 

The events that will take place will be the natural reaction of the planet to the wrongs of mankind that have proliferated through the centuries because of the greed and influence of a few, who have attempted to exert their power and resources and influences to be like gods in their own minds and to joust with the authority of your Father and Creator, who has chosen to resolve these issues and to directly interfere in the plans and processes of these self-appointed masters of the Universe, who have chosen to turn their backs on their Father and Creator in an attempt to become like Him.

 

Just as it was attempted by the angels of darkness, who have lost their influence in the Heavenly Realms, but who have now been working their dark deeds through the members of the human race among you, who have chosen to work for the forces of darkness.

 

Among your countries and regions, you will begin to see that chaos and turmoil will begin to accelerate and that peaceful negotiations will brake down and fail. For the intentions of those in control is not what the Lord foresees for the future of mankind.

 

Therefore, there will be great turmoil in the world starting with the deterioration of your economies; followed by the failure of crops worldwide; followed by the inevitable chaos and destruction that results from greed and corruption in high places.

 

What are you to do in this scenario that paints a bleak future of darkness and despair for the future of humanity?

 

Look to your Lord and Saviour through the power of prayer to make a difference for the better. It is through the power of prayer, through your individual prayers, that humanity will survive the battles of the next five years.

 

I speak of the battles in the spiritual realm for the saving of souls, so many souls among you, who are intended to spend all eternity with the Lord and Saviour in the Heavenly Realms.

 

On the other hand, the forces of darkness are fueling their intensity of dark powers to continue to influence and corrupt souls in an evil way that is intended to enslave those of you, who are following a life of greed and materialism and ignoring your future and eternal destiny.

 

Unfortunately, for those who are hoarding and coveting their material goods, the future in this earthly world is not very bright.

 

For those of you who recognize that the material things are transitory, you will continue to grow in love and fervor for the Lord, because your desires are focused on the ultimate goal, the eternal goal, and the bliss of a heavenly kingdom that is only available to those who answer the calling.

 

In the meantime, during the next five years here on planet Earth, the great changes that will be taking place will cause great turmoil among you as a people.

 

The instability of the atmosphere and of the weather patterns will continue to accelerate at a dizzying pace defying your scientists to explain what is happening or to understand how to bring a peaceful resolve to the environment of the planet.

 

Only those scientists who have a firm connection to their own spiritual reality will be able to perceive that the problems of the planet are more a result of what mankind is doing or failing to do spiritually, rather than what mankind is doing materially, that is affecting the world.

 

You see, the sins of mankind have a direct bearing on the stability of the planet. The dark energy that is caused by all of the sins of the world is directly affecting the very stability and balance of the planet in a negative way.

 

I speak of all the sins of humanity, the loss of the sanctity of human life, both in the womb, as well as among the young and the elderly;

 

the violence of the wars that are being perpetrated among you for selfish purposes by world leaders and power brokers; and the violence in your city streets from the destabilization of the family life, resulting in so much dysfunction among you, particularly fueled by alcoholism and the use of illicit drugs.

 

Do you see now how your secular world leaders are being exposed and dressed down for all of you to realize that the future of the world needs to be in more competent hands than what is being offered to you by secular leaders who joust with the Father in Heaven?

 

Therefore, the Father in Heaven must intervene in the affairs of mankind to teach the lessons that are necessary for humanity to continue to exist.

 

For in the present path that humanity has chosen to address the future, the path of ultimate destruction to humanity is the only course that will be available for those who think that the world can continue to exist without even an acknowledgement of He who is the Creator of all that exists.

 

So now the battle lines are drawn for all of you to face the future, either as ostriches with your heads buried in the sand, or like the prayerful warriors that the Lord and Saviour expects you to be in these challenging times. There are no bystanders in this battle for the future of humanity.

 

Each and every human living on the face of the Earth has an equally important role with all other human beings.

 

No world leader or military general or power broker will ultimately be deciding the end of the battles that will be fought.

 

For it is the Lord's prayerful warriors who will be deciding the future of humanity, and it will be for the better only through the grace of God that peace and justice will prevail on this planet for its inhabitants.

 

So arm yourselves now with the spiritual tools that the Lord has given you. You will be like plowshares planting the seeds of goodness, while those who are carrying weapons of destruction will find that their weapons and their wars, both the military and the economic, will become obsolete.

 

For in these times, the power of the Holy Spirit will be manifesting so fully among you that the great changes for the better will be inevitable.

 

I call upon you today to join the legions of the Lord, if you intend to be part of the future of humanity that will do good things to bring humanity into both an earthly world and a heavenly world that has been designed by the Father and Creator for all eternity.

 

The course of events is now up to you, individually and collectively. The final results of your efforts will be judged by your Creator in Heaven, who you shall not disappoint.

 

Michael The Archangel

 

End: 2:51pm

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette January 4, 2008

 

I will send upon you all the Holy Spirit

 

Reading: Matthew 10:5 -15

 

Dear friends,

 

The Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 10:6b

 

I spent a half-hour in contemplative prayer this morning. Jesus, our Redeemer, said, Melvin, My brother and companion, I love you. As you honour My Sacred Heart today, I wish to embrace you all, My brothers and sisters, and hold you close to My Heart. You are all dear to Me, especially those who love Me and come to Me in contemplative prayer every day. This is the personal prayer I prefer above all the others. You truly become My friend if you spend time with Me in this heart-to-heart prayer.

 

I came into this world to redeem you and to establish My Kingdom. I chose twelve Apostles to go everywhere to spread the news of the Kingdom and to establish My Church. I sent them to cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers and drive out demons. This is what I did when I was in the world and I gave the same powers to the Apostles and those who succeeded them. They are to go to all the towns and villages throughout the world to call the people to believe in My Word and to be members of My Kingdom.

 

There will be some who will not receive you and others who will persecute you. Do not be afraid, but shake the dust from your feet and continue to another place. Many will come to believe and be My disciples. I urge the members of My Church to organize themselves and go to all the homes of those people who do not pray and call them in My Name to follow Me. Some will refuse, but others will accept and return to Me.

 

Time is short and I want all My brothers and sisters to be saved. You who are part of My Mystical Body need to pray for the conversion of all those who do not believe and do your part in ministering to them. I send upon you all once more the Holy Spirit and the wonderful gift of peace. I give you My blessing for I love you.

 

Father Melvin

Message From Mother Mary Thru Lec - January 4, 2008

 

MESSAGE FROM MOTHER MARY January 4, 2008

7:10 AM

 

Son, I wish to say these:

My sons and daughters, this is the Mother of the Savior and your Mother too.

I wish to be with you in every occasion you call on my Motherly intercession but let me remind you that my presence in your prayer gatherings as well as in your private devotions hinges on the fervor with which you say your prayers.  Hastily done, thinking that praying the Rosary is merely repeating the prayers, I say to you, meditate first on each mystery to be reminded and thereby honor the life, death and resurrection of our Lord and likewise in acknowledgement of the role which God the Almighty placed on my being to help bring the Savior into the world.  I am Mary, conceived without sin, for the Lord cannot be brought out into the world in a being with even a small taint of sin in the soul.

I am merely an obedient servant to my Lord and Savior.

May His will be done on earth as it is in heaven!

MESSAGE FROM THE FATHER January 4, 2008

6:35 AM

 

Son, please bring these words to the hearer!

 

The Father of Mankind, the I AM, exhorts you to believe in my Son Jesus for He

is the lamb that was slain for your sins.

 

He was sent that your path back to my Kingdom be guided by the teachings He made

known to you. Embrace all what He taught you, never choosing only that which

appeals to your senses. When He said "walk in the narrow way, He meant a life

of sacrifice and consecration dedicated to the Kingdom. Do not seek the easy

way out as the glory that awaits those who give their lives for the cause of my

Son far outstrips those who desire to leave and thereby escape the dire times

that are to come. Whoever helps my Son in the work of saving more souls in the

last days do I reserve a place in eternity that compensates them a thousand fold

certainly the enjoyment of the kind of life that everyone could only dream of.

 

Many are called but few are chosen. Many will say, Lord, Lord we prophesied in

your name, we cast out demons but I will tell them I do not know you. Whoever

gives his life for the sake of the Gospel does not mean escaping when times get

rough but means remaining unto the end until I decide that you have enough and I

will say "my faithful servant, come into my rest and receive your reward".

 

Conform to my will. I will never lead you astray. Whatever comes to you will

be the best for your eternal glory.

 

I AM Your Father of All Mankind.

THE ULTIMATE VICTORY

 

 

PLEASE PONDER THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS

FOR SATAN HAS ALSO ENDORSED HIS SELECTIONS.

DO NOT VOTE FOR THOSE WHO SEEK POWER AND GLORY

FOR THIS, MY DEAR CHILDREN, IS THE WRONG CATEGORY.

 

PRAY FOR ALL THOSE WHO WILL BE INCLUDED

THAT THEIR PLEDGES BY SATAN MAY NOT BE POLLUTED.

DO NOT BE MISLED BY ALL THAT YOU HEAR;

INSTEAD, SEARCH YOUR HEART WHERE THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR.

 

IF THE LAWS GOD HAS GIVEN THEY CANNOT REPRESENT,

THEN THE OFFICE THEY'RE SEEKING YOUR VOTE SHOULD PREVENT.

THIS MAY BE A PRELUDE OF EVENTS SOON TO COME

IF THOSE ELECTED TO POWER OPPOSE THE LAWS OF MY SON.

 

THE MILLIONS OF CHILDREN THAT MAY SOON BE ABORTED

WILL RELY ON HOW YOU FOR THESE CANDIDATES VOTED.

YOU ARE THE ONES THAT THESE SOULS REPRESENT

BY THE VOTE THAT YOU CAST IN THE COMING EVENT.

 

IF THIS ELECTION IS TAINTED AND BY EVIL IS SWAYED,

THEN THE WRATH OF GOD'S SWORD WILL NOT BE DELAYED.

THIS COUNTRY'S FUTURE MAY NOW BE AT STAKE

BY ACTS OF OMISSION OR THE JUDGMENTS YOU MAKE.

 

THE PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL CAN ALTER THE COURSE

THAT THE LEGIONS OF DEMONS NOW TRY TO ENFORCE.

THE POWER OF PRAYER CAN DIVERT SATAN'S PLAN

BECAUSE GOD THRU HIS POWER GAVE THIS OPTION TO MAN.

 

THE ULTIMATE VICTORY WILL BE CLAIMED BY ALL THOSE

WHO THE LAWS GOD HAS GIVEN DID NOT OPPOSE.

CONSIDER NOT JUST YOUR PERSONAL GAIN

BU THE JOURNEY YOU TRAVEL AND WHERE YOUR SOUL WILL REMAIN.

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 04 - ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON

 

"Called to continue before the Most Blessed Sacrament the Magi's adoration

at the Crib of Bethlehem, we ought to make ours the thought and love which 0

guided and sustained them.  They began at Bethlehem what we are doing in the

presence of the Sacred Host . . . .

    "The adoration of the Magi was a homage of faith and a tribute of love to

the Incarnate Word; such ought to be our Eucharistic adoration . . . .

    "How fortunate we are to be able to share, through the Eucharist, the

happiness of Mary, of the Magi, and of the first disciples who offered gifts to

Jesus Christ!  In the Eucharist we still have the poverty of Bethlehem to

relieve.  Oh!  Yes!  All the good things of grace and of glory come to us through

the divine Eucharist.  Their fountainhead is at Bethlehem, which became a

heaven of love; they gathered volume all through the life of the Savior; and all

these rivers of grace, virtue, and merit empty into the ocean of this adorable

Sacrament, in which we possess them in all their fullness . . . .

    "The Magi are our models, the first adorers.  Let us be worthy of their

royal faith in Jesus Christ.  Let us be heirs to their love, and one day we

will be heirs to their glory.  Amen" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).

 

Mother Teresa  -

 

What is important is that we are able to smile at one another in our families.

 

Padre Pio - Oh how precious time is! Blessed are those who know how to make good use of it, because, on the day of judgment, all will have to render a strict account of it to the supreme Judge. Oh, if only all could understand how precious time is, undoubtedly everyone would do his best to spend it in a praise worthy manner!

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

 

Passion is definitely a conscious affair

 

"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. The eye has a reflex action when someone is about to thrust his finger into it, but passion is a conscious affair; it is something that happens to a creature endowed with reason and free will."

 

St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  Write this: before I come as the just Judge, I am coming first as the King of Mercy. Before the day of justice arrives, there will be given to people a sign in the heavens of this sort:

 

All light in the heavens will be extinguished, and there will be great darkness over the whole earth. Then the sign of the cross will be seen in the sky, and from the openings where the hands and the feet of the Savior were nailed will come forth great lights which will light up the earth for a period of time. This will take place shortly before the last day.      (83)

 

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!       (84)

 

On Friday, after Holy Communion, I was carried in spirit before the throne of God. There I saw the heavenly Powers which incessantly praise God. Beyond the throne I saw a brightness inaccessible to creatures, and there only the Incarnate Word enters as Mediator. When Jesus entered this light, I heard these words, Write down at once what you hear: I am the Lord in My essence and am immune to orders or needs. If I call creatures into being-that is the abyss of My mercy. And at that very moment I found myself, as before, in our chapel at my kneeler, just as Mass had ended. I already had these words written.       (85)

 

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.

 

 

Jan 4 - ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON

 

The Blessed Mother sees our happiness as the best way to attract others to the faith. She said to Jelena's prayer group:

 

When you convey my messages, be on your guard that they are not lost. Convey my messages with humility, so that in seeing your happiness, others will desire to share it.

 

Do not carry my messages lightly, simply scatter before people (Locutionist Jelena & Mirjana July 1985).

 

In his letter to the Romans, Paul also stresses the great importance of those who carry the message of faith:

 

"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

 

But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" (Rom 10 :13-15).

 

Reflection:

 

The American saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton, exemplified the qualities of discipleship we see in our readings today: courage in carrying the message of faith, a joyfulness that attracted others, and the zeal to bear a great harvest for the Lord. Upon the death of her husband, by whom she had five children, Elizabeth became a convert to Catholicism, and in 1809 established an order of teaching sisters. She founded a great number of Catholic schools and is now honored as the patroness of Catholic education in America.

 

In her short life (she died on this day at the age of 46), she had a profound effect on American Catholicism which is still felt to this day.

 

Application:

 

In her honor, let us offer the Anima Christi (Body of Christ) written by Elizabeth Ann Seton:

 

Soul of Jesus, sanctify me; blood of Jesus, wash me; passion of Jesus, comfort me; wounds of Jesus, hide me; heart of Jesus, receive me; Spirit of Jesus, enliven me; goodness of Jesus, pardon me; beauty of Jesus, draw me; humility of Jesus, humble me; peace of Jesus, pacify me; love of Jesus, inflame me; kingdom of Jesus, come to me; grace of Jesus, replenish me; mercy of Jesus, pity me; sanctify me; purity of Jesus purify me.

MESSAGE FROM JESUS

January 4, 2008

6:50 AM

 

Son, please tell the others of these words!

 

To the hearers of my words, I know each one of you. I know if my very words are

taking root into your hearts and unto your minds or these are merely brought to

naught. Do not waste the opportunity to listen for my communing with you is not

intended to last forever.

 

Some time in the foreseeable time to come, my fellowship with you through this

means will end. I am not saying this to scare you into listening to me but time

will come when the RESTRAINER will be removed from your midst for the prophesied

times to proceed a time which unfortunately many of you are not prepared.

Learn as much as you can these days for the time is coming fast when what you

learn will be your remaining guide to be able to pass through the turbulence of

the coming period.

 

Abiding faith will be your strength to keep on going and not lapse into

hopelessness. Build it now fast for when the dire times are here, there is no

more space to build up faith but that coming time will be the time to put that

faith to the test whether you are for me or not.

 

I tell you today so you will know.

The Holy Name of Jesus

 

 

 

Br. Peter Totleben, O.

 

 

January 3, 2008

 

 

One of the best things that I have discovered in religious life is the power of

the Name of Jesus Christ. For the past year and a half, I have started more and

more constantly to call on the Holy Name of Jesus and His mercy. This has

transformed my relationship with God, and sustained me through the difficult

periods of growth that come along with Christian discipleship.

 

Jesus' Name is such a powerful prayer because names are powerful things. If I

do not know a person's name, then that person is a stranger to me. But, as soon

as I know his name, we are no longer strangers. We have a relationship. We can

talk to one another and share our lives. When we recall a person's name, that

person becomes present to us. When we name a person, we express something of

their personality.

 

The Foretelling of His Name

 

The Bible frequently uses names in this way. In Sacred Scripture, a name is

rarely just a name. In fact, when God desired to free his chosen people from

bondage in Egypt, the very first thing He did after calling Moses was to reveal

His Name. He entrusted His Name to Moses as a testimony that He was with Moses

and would deliver His people: Say this to the sons of Israel, I AM has sent me

to you (Ex. 3:14). From then on, the Name of the Lord would be the special

possession of God's chosen people: This is my name for ever, and thus I am to

be remembered throughout all generation (Ex. 3:15). Through the Name, God would

be present to His people: For what great nation is there that has a god so near

to it as the Lord our God is to us, whenever we call upon him? (Dt. 4:7).

 

And yet, the covenant made with Israel was but a foretaste of the good things to

come. God still did not fully dwell among His people. A sign of this was the

use of the Name. God's proper Name could only be uttered once a year by the

high priest.

 

 

 

As the ages passed, the prophets foretold the coming of a Messiah who would

inaugurate a new chapter in the history of the relationship between God and His

People. The prophets tried to describe the Messiah with names: Behold a virgin

shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (Is. 7:14), that

is God-with-us. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Is. 9:6). When the designated time had

come, God came to save His people. By becoming incarnate of the Holy Spirit and

born of the virgin Mary, God dwelt among them as the Word made flesh. Now, when

we gaze on Jesus, we gaze on God Himself, and when we call upon the Name of

Jesus, we invoke the very presence of God Himself.

 

Remaining in His Name

 

Through his Holy Name, Jesus can become the constant companion of our souls. By

keeping His Name constantly within our hearts, He can be with us in all of our

joys and sorrows. This is the secret of sanctity. One of the pitfalls that we

must avoid in our spiritual life, especially in our distracted modern culture,

is forgetting God. We may be able to carve out regular time to pray. But

afterwards, does anything change? Or after our communion with God in prayer, do

we live the rest of our lives as if He did not exist? By constantly remembering

His Name, we constantly remember God and the true purpose of our lives. The

more we remember Jesus, the more we see His presence and His grace everywhere,

turning all the moments of our lives into opportunities for sanctity.

By keeping Jesus' Name constantly on our lips and in our hearts, we remain in

His presence, and this is the hidden source of the fruitfulness of all of our

activities. He is the vine who gives life to us, the branches, enabling us to

bear fruit that will last. As St. Hesychios of Sinai said, The more the rain

falls on the earth, the softer it makes it; similarly, Christ's holy name

gladdens the earth of our heart the more we call upon it (On Watchfulness and

Prayer).

 

The Power and Sweetness of His Name

 

Because the Holy Name invokes the presence of Christ our Savior, there is real

power in it. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be

glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in my name I will do it... Until now

you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may

be full (Jn. 14:13-14; 16:24). The Holy Name of Jesus heals sickness and drives

away demons; it brings joy and salvation. The trials we face in this valley of

tears easily overwhelm us. It is often too much for us to combat on our own.

In these moments, sometimes the only thing we can do is to cry out to our

Savior, like St. Peter did when he was sinking after walking on water (cf. Mt.

14:30). This is the advice of the nineteenth century Russian Orthodox Bishop

Ignatius Brianchaninov: From the midst of the most furious storm, with

perseverance, courage, and weeping, you will cry to the Lord Jesus Christ, and

He will rebuke the winds and waves. And having learned from experience the

omnipotence of Jesus, we shall render to Him due adoration, saying, Truly you

are the Son of God

 

(On the Prayer of Jesus).

 

When Jesus is constantly present in our lives through His Name, He can provide

us with an example of how to live and provide us with aid in times of

temptation. As St. Bernard said, Nothing so curbs the onset of anger, so allays

the upsurge of pride. It cures the wound of envy, controls unbridled

extravagance, and quenches the flame of lust; it cools the thirst of

covetousness and banishes the itch of unclean desire... For when I name Jesus, I

set before me a man who is meek and humble of heart, kind, prudent, chaste,

merciful, flawlessly upright and holy in the eyes of all; and this same man is

the all-powerful God whose way of life heals me, whose support is my strength.

(Sermon 15 On the Song of Songs).

 

After a fall, we can call upon Jesus' Name and begin to re-enter His presence.

His Name can become for us a healing balm, and we can discover in a personal way

the mercy and loving kindness that He has brought into this world.

 

Because it is such a treasure, the Name of Jesus should become more and more the

focus of our lives. When we make the Holy Name of Jesus the constant companion

of our hearts devotion and our tongues speech, we can say with St. Bernard:

Write what you will, I shall not relish it unless it tells of Jesus. Talk or

argue about what you will, I shall not relish it if you exclude the name of

Jesus. Jesus to me is honey in the mouth, music in the ear, a song in the heart

(Sermon 15 On the Song of Songs).

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette January 4, 2008

 

I will send upon you all the Holy Spirit

 

Reading: Matthew 10:5 -15

 

Dear friends,

 

The Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 10:6b

 

I spent a half-hour in contemplative prayer this morning. Jesus, our Redeemer, said, Melvin, My brother and companion, I love you. As you honour My Sacred Heart today, I wish to embrace you all, My brothers and sisters, and hold you close to My Heart. You are all dear to Me, especially those who love Me and come to Me in contemplative prayer every day. This is the personal prayer I prefer above all the others. You truly become My friend if you spend time with Me in this heart-to-heart prayer.

 

I came into this world to redeem you and to establish My Kingdom. I chose twelve Apostles to go everywhere to spread the news of the Kingdom and to establish My Church. I sent them to cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers and drive out demons. This is what I did when I was in the world and I gave the same powers to the Apostles and those who succeeded them. They are to go to all the towns and villages throughout the world to call the people to believe in My Word and to be members of My Kingdom.

 

There will be some who will not receive you and others who will persecute you. Do not be afraid, but shake the dust from your feet and continue to another place. Many will come to believe and be My disciples. I urge the members of My Church to organize themselves and go to all the homes of those people who do not pray and call them in My Name to follow Me. Some will refuse, but others will accept and return to Me.

 

Time is short and I want all My brothers and sisters to be saved. You who are part of My Mystical Body need to pray for the conversion of all those who do not believe and do your part in ministering to them. I send upon you all once more the Holy Spirit and the wonderful gift of peace. I give you My blessing for I love you.

 

Father Melvin

I wish to be with you in every occasion you call on my Motherly intercession but let me remind you that my presence in your prayer gatherings as well as in your private devotions hinges on the fervor with which you say your prayers.  Hastily done, thinking that praying the Rosary is merely repeating the prayers, I say to you, meditate first on each mystery to be reminded and thereby honor the life, death and resurrection of our Lord and likewise in acknowledgement of the role which God the Almighty placed on my being to help bring the Savior into the world.  I am Mary, conceived without sin, for the Lord cannot be brought out into the world in a being with even a small taint of sin in the soul.

I am merely an obedient servant to my Lord and Savior.

May His will be done on earth as it is in heaven!

MESSAGE FROM THE FATHER January 4, 2008

6:35 AM

 

Son, please bring these words to the hearer!

 

The Father of Mankind, the I AM, exhorts you to believe in my Son Jesus for He

is the lamb that was slain for your sins.

 

He was sent that your path back to my Kingdom be guided by the teachings He made

known to you. Embrace all what He taught you, never choosing only that which

appeals to your senses. When He said "walk in the narrow way, He meant a life

of sacrifice and consecration dedicated to the Kingdom. Do not seek the easy

way out as the glory that awaits those who give their lives for the cause of my

Son far outstrips those who desire to leave and thereby escape the dire times

that are to come. Whoever helps my Son in the work of saving more souls in the

last days do I reserve a place in eternity that compensates them a thousand fold

certainly the enjoyment of the kind of life that everyone could only dream of.

 

Many are called but few are chosen. Many will say, Lord, Lord we prophesied in

your name, we cast out demons but I will tell them I do not know you. Whoever

gives his life for the sake of the Gospel does not mean escaping when times get

rough but means remaining unto the end until I decide that you have enough and I

will say "my faithful servant, come into my rest and receive your reward".

THE ULTIMATE VICTORY

 

 

PLEASE PONDER THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS

FOR SATAN HAS ALSO ENDORSED HIS SELECTIONS.

DO NOT VOTE FOR THOSE WHO SEEK POWER AND GLORY

FOR THIS, MY DEAR CHILDREN, IS THE WRONG CATEGORY.

 

PRAY FOR ALL THOSE WHO WILL BE INCLUDED

THAT THEIR PLEDGES BY SATAN MAY NOT BE POLLUTED.

DO NOT BE MISLED BY ALL THAT YOU HEAR;

INSTEAD, SEARCH YOUR HEART WHERE THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR.

 

IF THE LAWS GOD HAS GIVEN THEY CANNOT REPRESENT,

THEN THE OFFICE THEY'RE SEEKING YOUR VOTE SHOULD PREVENT.

THIS MAY BE A PRELUDE OF EVENTS SOON TO COME

IF THOSE ELECTED TO POWER OPPOSE THE LAWS OF MY SON.

 

THE MILLIONS OF CHILDREN THAT MAY SOON BE ABORTED

WILL RELY ON HOW YOU FOR THESE CANDIDATES VOTED.

YOU ARE THE ONES THAT THESE SOULS REPRESENT

BY THE VOTE THAT YOU CAST IN THE COMING EVENT.

 

IF THIS ELECTION IS TAINTED AND BY EVIL IS SWAYED,

THEN THE WRATH OF GOD'S SWORD WILL NOT BE DELAYED.

THIS COUNTRY'S FUTURE MAY NOW BE AT STAKE

BY ACTS OF OMISSION OR THE JUDGMENTS YOU MAKE.

 

THE PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL CAN ALTER THE COURSE

THAT THE LEGIONS OF DEMONS NOW TRY TO ENFORCE.

THE POWER OF PRAYER CAN DIVERT SATAN'S PLAN

BECAUSE GOD THRU HIS POWER GAVE THIS OPTION TO MAN.

 

THE ULTIMATE VICTORY WILL BE CLAIMED BY ALL THOSE

WHO THE LAWS GOD HAS GIVEN DID NOT OPPOSE.

CONSIDER NOT JUST YOUR PERSONAL GAIN

BU THE JOURNEY YOU TRAVEL AND WHERE YOUR SOUL WILL REMAIN.

 

THY WILL BE DONE

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 04 - ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON

 

"Called to continue before the Most Blessed Sacrament the Magi's adoration

at the Crib of Bethlehem, we ought to make ours the thought and love which 0

guided and sustained them.  They began at Bethlehem what we are doing in the

presence of the Sacred Host . . . .

    "The adoration of the Magi was a homage of faith and a tribute of love to

the Incarnate Word; such ought to be our Eucharistic adoration . . . .

    "How fortunate we are to be able to share, through the Eucharist, the

happiness of Mary, of the Magi, and of the first disciples who offered gifts to

Jesus Christ!  In the Eucharist we still have the poverty of Bethlehem to

relieve.  Oh!  Yes!  All the good things of grace and of glory come to us through

the divine Eucharist.  Their fountainhead is at Bethlehem, which became a

heaven of love; they gathered volume all through the life of the Savior; and all

these rivers of grace, virtue, and merit empty into the ocean of this adorable

Sacrament, in which we possess them in all their fullness . . . .

    "The Magi are our models, the first adorers.  Let us be worthy of their

royal faith in Jesus Christ.  Let us be heirs to their love, and one day we

will be heirs to their glory.  Amen" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).

 

Mother Teresa  -

 

What is important is that we are able to smile at one another in our families.

 

Padre Pio - Oh how precious time is! Blessed are those who know how to make good use of it, because, on the day of judgment, all will have to render a strict account of it to the supreme Judge. Oh, if only all could understand how precious time is, undoubtedly everyone would do his best to spend it in a praise worthy manner!

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

 

Passion is definitely a conscious affair

 

"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. The eye has a reflex action when someone is about to thrust his finger into it, but passion is a conscious affair; it is something that happens to a creature endowed with reason and free will."

 

St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  Write this: before I come as the just Judge, I am coming first as the King of Mercy. Before the day of justice arrives, there will be given to people a sign in the heavens of this sort:

 

All light in the heavens will be extinguished, and there will be great darkness over the whole earth. Then the sign of the cross will be seen in the sky, and from the openings where the hands and the feet of the Savior were nailed will come forth great lights which will light up the earth for a period of time. This will take place shortly before the last day.      (83)

 

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!       (84)

 

On Friday, after Holy Communion, I was carried in spirit before the throne of God. There I saw the heavenly Powers which incessantly praise God. Beyond the throne I saw a brightness inaccessible to creatures, and there only the Incarnate Word enters as Mediator. When Jesus entered this light, I heard these words, Write down at once what you hear: I am the Lord in My essence and am immune to orders or needs. If I call creatures into being-that is the abyss of My mercy. And at that very moment I found myself, as before, in our chapel at my kneeler, just as Mass had ended. I already had these words written.       (85)

 

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.

 

 

Jan 4 - ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON

 

The Blessed Mother sees our happiness as the best way to attract others to the faith. She said to Jelena's prayer group:

 

When you convey my messages, be on your guard that they are not lost. Convey my messages with humility, so that in seeing your happiness, others will desire to share it.

 

Do not carry my messages lightly, simply scatter before people (Locutionist Jelena & Mirjana July 1985).

 

In his letter to the Romans, Paul also stresses the great importance of those who carry the message of faith:

 

"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

 

But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" (Rom 10 :13-15).

 

Reflection:

 

The American saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton, exemplified the qualities of discipleship we see in our readings today: courage in carrying the message of faith, a joyfulness that attracted others, and the zeal to bear a great harvest for the Lord. Upon the death of her husband, by whom she had five children, Elizabeth became a convert to Catholicism, and in 1809 established an order of teaching sisters. She founded a great number of Catholic schools and is now honored as the patroness of Catholic education in America.

 

In her short life (she died on this day at the age of 46), she had a profound effect on American Catholicism which is still felt to this day.

 

Application:

 

In her honor, let us offer the Anima Christi (Body of Christ) written by Elizabeth Ann Seton:

 

Soul of Jesus, sanctify me; blood of Jesus, wash me; passion of Jesus, comfort me; wounds of Jesus, hide me; heart of Jesus, receive me; Spirit of Jesus, enliven me; goodness of Jesus, pardon me; beauty of Jesus, draw me; humility of Jesus, humble me; peace of Jesus, pacify me; love of Jesus, inflame me; kingdom of Jesus, come to me; grace of Jesus, replenish me; mercy of Jesus, pity me; sanctify me; purity of Jesus purify me.

MESSAGE FROM JESUS

January 4, 2008

6:50 AM

 

Son, please tell the others of these words!

 

To the hearers of my words, I know each one of you. I know if my very words are

taking root into your hearts and unto your minds or these are merely brought to

naught. Do not waste the opportunity to listen for my communing with you is not

intended to last forever.

 

Some time in the foreseeable time to come, my fellowship with you through this

means will end. I am not saying this to scare you into listening to me but time

will come when the RESTRAINER will be removed from your midst for the prophesied

times to proceed a time which unfortunately many of you are not prepared.

Learn as much as you can these days for the time is coming fast when what you

learn will be your remaining guide to be able to pass through the turbulence of

the coming period.

 

Abiding faith will be your strength to keep on going and not lapse into

hopelessness. Build it now fast for when the dire times are here, there is no

more space to build up faith but that coming time will be the time to put that

faith to the test whether you are for me or not.

 

I tell you today so you will know.

The Holy Name of Jesus

 

 

 

Br. Peter Totleben, O.

 

 

January 3, 2008

 

 

One of the best things that I have discovered in religious life is the power of

the Name of Jesus Christ. For the past year and a half, I have started more and

more constantly to call on the Holy Name of Jesus and His mercy. This has

transformed my relationship with God, and sustained me through the difficult

periods of growth that come along with Christian discipleship.

 

Jesus' Name is such a powerful prayer because names are powerful things. If I

do not know a person's name, then that person is a stranger to me. But, as soon

as I know his name, we are no longer strangers. We have a relationship. We can

talk to one another and share our lives. When we recall a person's name, that

person becomes present to us. When we name a person, we express something of

their personality.

 

The Foretelling of His Name

 

The Bible frequently uses names in this way. In Sacred Scripture, a name is

rarely just a name. In fact, when God desired to free his chosen people from

bondage in Egypt, the very first thing He did after calling Moses was to reveal

His Name. He entrusted His Name to Moses as a testimony that He was with Moses

and would deliver His people: Say this to the sons of Israel, I AM has sent me

to you (Ex. 3:14). From then on, the Name of the Lord would be the special

possession of God's chosen people: This is my name for ever, and thus I am to

be remembered throughout all generation (Ex. 3:15). Through the Name, God would

be present to His people: For what great nation is there that has a god so near

to it as the Lord our God is to us, whenever we call upon him? (Dt. 4:7).

 

And yet, the covenant made with Israel was but a foretaste of the good things to

come. God still did not fully dwell among His people. A sign of this was the

use of the Name. God's proper Name could only be uttered once a year by the

high priest.

 

 

 

As the ages passed, the prophets foretold the coming of a Messiah who would

inaugurate a new chapter in the history of the relationship between God and His

People. The prophets tried to describe the Messiah with names: Behold a virgin

shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (Is. 7:14), that

is God-with-us. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Is. 9:6). When the designated time had

come, God came to save His people. By becoming incarnate of the Holy Spirit and

born of the virgin Mary, God dwelt among them as the Word made flesh. Now, when

we gaze on Jesus, we gaze on God Himself, and when we call upon the Name of

Jesus, we invoke the very presence of God Himself.

 

Remaining in His Name

 

Through his Holy Name, Jesus can become the constant companion of our souls. By

keeping His Name constantly within our hearts, He can be with us in all of our

joys and sorrows. This is the secret of sanctity. One of the pitfalls that we

must avoid in our spiritual life, especially in our distracted modern culture,

is forgetting God. We may be able to carve out regular time to pray. But

afterwards, does anything change? Or after our communion with God in prayer, do

we live the rest of our lives as if He did not exist? By constantly remembering

His Name, we constantly remember God and the true purpose of our lives. The

more we remember Jesus, the more we see His presence and His grace everywhere,

turning all the moments of our lives into opportunities for sanctity.

By keeping Jesus' Name constantly on our lips and in our hearts, we remain in

His presence, and this is the hidden source of the fruitfulness of all of our

activities. He is the vine who gives life to us, the branches, enabling us to

bear fruit that will last. As St. Hesychios of Sinai said, The more the rain

falls on the earth, the softer it makes it; similarly, Christ's holy name

gladdens the earth of our heart the more we call upon it (On Watchfulness and

Prayer).

 

The Power and Sweetness of His Name

 

Because the Holy Name invokes the presence of Christ our Savior, there is real

power in it. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be

glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in my name I will do it... Until now

you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may

be full (Jn. 14:13-14; 16:24). The Holy Name of Jesus heals sickness and drives

away demons; it brings joy and salvation. The trials we face in this valley of

tears easily overwhelm us. It is often too much for us to combat on our own.

In these moments, sometimes the only thing we can do is to cry out to our

Savior, like St. Peter did when he was sinking after walking on water (cf. Mt.

14:30). This is the advice of the nineteenth century Russian Orthodox Bishop

Ignatius Brianchaninov: From the midst of the most furious storm, with

perseverance, courage, and weeping, you will cry to the Lord Jesus Christ, and

He will rebuke the winds and waves. And having learned from experience the

omnipotence of Jesus, we shall render to Him due adoration, saying, Truly you

are the Son of God

 

(On the Prayer of Jesus).

 

When Jesus is constantly present in our lives through His Name, He can provide

us with an example of how to live and provide us with aid in times of

temptation. As St. Bernard said, Nothing so curbs the onset of anger, so allays

the upsurge of pride. It cures the wound of envy, controls unbridled

extravagance, and quenches the flame of lust; it cools the thirst of

covetousness and banishes the itch of unclean desire... For when I name Jesus, I

set before me a man who is meek and humble of heart, kind, prudent, chaste,

merciful, flawlessly upright and holy in the eyes of all; and this same man is

the all-powerful God whose way of life heals me, whose support is my strength.

(Sermon 15 On the Song of Songs).

 

After a fall, we can call upon Jesus' Name and begin to re-enter His presence.

His Name can become for us a healing balm, and we can discover in a personal way

the mercy and loving kindness that He has brought into this world.

 

Because it is such a treasure, the Name of Jesus should become more and more the

focus of our lives. When we make the Holy Name of Jesus the constant companion

of our hearts devotion and our tongues speech, we can say with St. Bernard:

Write what you will, I shall not relish it unless it tells of Jesus. Talk or

argue about what you will, I shall not relish it if you exclude the name of

Jesus. Jesus to me is honey in the mouth, music in the ear, a song in the heart

(Sermon 15 On the Song of Songs).

Melvin Doucette January 3, 2008 You will live in peace Reading:

 

Luke 2:39-40 Dear friends, When they (Joseph, Mary and the child Jesus) had fulfilled all the prescriptions of the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. Luke 2:39 

 I spent a half-hour in prayer this morning and I was with Jesus, Our Lord, who said, Melvin, My brother and friend, I love you.

 

I have a message for you and for all My brothers and sisters living in every country in the world. It is well known that I grew up in the little town of Nazareth in Galilee.

 

I lived in a home where love reigned. Joseph, My foster father, was a good man who took care of My Mother and me with great love.  

 

My Mother Mary is the greatest example of a loving Mother the world will ever know. Her every action was done out of pure love.

 

She taught Me all about the Jewish religion and the ways of praying of My people. How I wish that every child would be brought up in a religious family like My family!

My great desire is that every family be built on love, love between the parents and love of father and mother for their children.  The children also have to love their parents in return.

It is in the family that children are to learn about My love for them and how necessary it is for them to follow Me. They are to learn their prayers and pray every day.  

The parents are to bring their children to church and when they are of age, they are to send them for instruction about My teachings as explained by the Church. Children need solid teaching about their faith and they need a good example by their parents of people of prayer who go to church regularly. 

Today the faith of many youth is very shallow because they were not taught at home and they did not have the example of parents who prayed regularly. Parents should pray with their children every day.  

I want to be enshrined in every home and live in the heart of every person living in that home. If you have a home blessed by Me, I will shower everyone with My graces and you will live in peace.

 I bless you all. Father Melvin To send a personal message to Fr. Melvin, address your e-mail to: melvin.doucette@...

Message to Louise Jan.2, 2007 January 2, 2008 

Louise began to hear words from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood." (and many other prayers of testing) 

God the Father then spoke, "In the near future there will be a gigantic explosion heard and felt around the world." 

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 03 - PERSEVERE IN FASTING "There is a mystery, the greatest of all mysteriesnot that my adored Lord is in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar His word has said it, and what so simple as to take that word which is truth itself?  

But that souls of His own creation, whom He gave His life to save, who are endowed with His choicest gifts in all things else, should remain blind, insensible, and deprived of that light without which every other blessing is unavailing!" (St. Elizabeth Ann Seton). 

 

Mother Teresa  - The commitment spouses profess in their marriage vows is important. They accept each other in good times and in bad times.

I think that this is something that we should always try to do with a smile.  

 

Meditations by Padre Pio - Make hay while the sun shines. Do not put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

It's easy enough to be wise after the event, besides, who can assure us that we will be alive tomorrow?  

Let us listen to the voice of our conscious, to the voice of the royal profit: "Today, if you hear the voice of the Lord, do not turn a deaf ear."

Let us arise and make use of the fleeting moment which alone is ours. Let us not put off from one moment to another because the latter is not yet ours. 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Honesty isn't as honest anymore. Honest! " It has often been said, `Honesty is the best policy,' on the grounds that it will keep you out of trouble and make you admired.

Someone has remarked concerning it, `He who acts upon this principle is not an honest man.'  It would seem however, that there is some decline in honesty, for there is now one major crime committed in the United States for every sixty persons.

In the last ten years, the crime rate in the United States has been exploding at a rate four times as fast as the rate of the growth of our population." 

 St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -     On Friday during Mass when my soul was flooded with God's happiness, I heard these words in my soul:

My mercy has passed into souls through the divine-human Heart of Jesus as a ray from the sun passes through crystal.  I felt in my heart and understood that every approach to God is brought about by Jesus, in Him and through Him.       (528) 

O God, how I desire that souls come to know You and to see that You have created them because of Your unfathomable love.

O my Creator and Lord, I feel that I am going to remove the veil of heaven so that earth will not doubt Your goodness. Make of me, Jesus, a pure and agreeable offering before the Face of Your Father.

Jesus, transform me, miserable and sinful as I am, into Your own self (for You can do all things), and give me to Your Eternal Father.

 

  I want to become a sacrificial host before You, but an ordinary wafer to people. I want the fragrance of my sacrifice to be known to You alone.

 O Eternal God, an unquenchable fire of supplication for Your mercy burns within me. I know and understand that this is my task, here and in eternity.

You yourself have told me to speak about this great mercy and about Your goodness.       

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.Jan 3 -

PERSEVERE IN FASTING Our Lady has a special request for us in the new year: Pray as much as possible and fast.

You must persevere in prayer and fasting. I wish that the new year be spent in prayer and penance.  

Persevere in prayer and in sacrifice, for I will protect you and always hear your prayers (First Years December 31, 1982). 

Fasting was an ancient practice among the Israelites. The following passage from the Book of Ezra dates from 500 B.C.: 

Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might deny ourselves before our God, to seek from him a safe journey for ourselves, our children, and all our possessions (Ezr 8:21). 

Reflection: Fasting is perhaps the most difficult teaching from Medjugorje, but its fruits are so astonishing that it deserves our special attention.

Consider the following: Through fasting and prayer, one can stop wars, one can suspend the laws of nature (First Years July 21, 1982). Pray and fast that the kingdom of God may appear in your midst (First Years March 14, 1984). 

Dear children, today I call on you to begin fasting with your heart (Weekly Message September 20, 1984). 

Live the message of fasting, for by it you will achieve God's plans in Medjugorje (Weekly Message September 26, 1985). 

Pray and fast, for I wish to purify your hearts completely. I wish to make you happy (Locution Jelena & Mir Jana February 14, 1984). 

We will look at fasting again later in the year, but for now, it is important for us to recognize it as one of the primary messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje, a message that brings extraordinary gifts of grace to all who practice it. Application: 

Today, make a decision to fast next Friday. It is perfectly all right to begin small perhaps by skipping one meal, foregoing a favorite food, or drinking tea instead of coffee; the important thing is to make a start.  

Don't forget to offer your fast for one of your prayer intentions.

Message from  JESUS OF MERCY

To THE WORLD

 

December 24, 2007 through Chris Courtis, a visionary in Maryland, U.S.A.

 

(I see St. Gabriel, St. Raphael, St. Michael the Archangel – they’re all here and they have accompanied our Lord. Our Lord Jesus is here, and He is dressed all in gold, and He is thirty years old.  He’s the man but He’s all dressed in gold and white.  There’s, Oh, there’s so much light!  He’s smiling, oh, His eyes.  Our Lord says,)

 

My dear and beloved children of My Father’s earth,

 

I thank you for gathering together to pray and for being with Me on this most holy night, when I, your Lord, your God, and your Savior shall be born unto you.  I love you all so much that I could not stay away.  I have to come to reveal to you My most precious gem, My most precious love, that which has given to Me life, My mother.

 

This Christmas Eve, I wish to draw you closer to her.  She is the fountain of pure grace and pure delight and love.  My little ones, I could stand here and tell you how I am part of her, and how she formed Me, and how she and I are one, but nothing I say will ever make such an impact on you as by simply saying, she is your mother also.  She gave birth to Me, and at the foot of My Cross, I gave her to all of you, each and every one of you.  You will never understand the love that My mother has for you in being your mother also.   She calls you day after day to prayer, repentance, and a life filled with holiness and blessing.

 

Through her I am giving you also My mercy and love.  How many times have I said this and yet, tonight, it is so important that you come to embrace My words.  My mother is your mother in every sense of the word.  She loves you, she prays for you, she cares for you, she watches not only your spiritual growth and your spiritual lives, but she watches over your physical body as well.  She is truly your mother.  Embrace her!  Embrace her because she is all good and loving and because there is nothing in her that is judgmental. She is nothing but mother.  She is nothing but mother to all of you.

 

My words are not enough.  You have to form, and have a devotion to Our Lady, to your mother, to My mother, on your own terms.  Tonight I simply ask you to thank My father for choosing her to be not only My mother, but the world’s mother.  One day the world will know the great companion and loving mother that it has in Mary.  Bless you, my little ones, in My most holy name,- Emmanuel, Jesus, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

 

I give you My peace.  My peace I leave with you, but you will always be able to find My peace also through My mother.  My mother will come during the Divine Mercy (Chaplet).

 

(He’s disappearing.  He’s moving into the light and He’s fading away, but the angels are singing.  They’re singing “Hallelujah!”  You can hear them but I’m not going to sing like them because I can’t.  They’re gone.)

Message (1) from MOTHER OF MERCY

 

To THE WORLD

 

December 24, 2007 through Chris Courtis, a visionary in Maryland, U.S.A.

 

(There are saints.  Our Lady, she’s dressed in a blue veil with a white dress.  She’s Our Mother of Mercy, and she has the Baby Jesus, and she’s on a cloud, and there are saints.  There are so many of them!  There’s so many and I don’t even recognize all of them.  Yes, I recognize that one.  That’s St. Elizabeth Ann Seton toward the right!  And there’s St. Joseph and St. Anna toward Our Lady’s left.  She says,)

 

My dear little children,

 

Thank you for coming on this most blessed night when the Savior of the world shall be born unto you, this night when men are reconciled with a God who is not only loving but humble, humble enough to come before you as an infant and as a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes.  His joy is unsurpassed and I desire to give you His joy, but first there are some necessary things that I wish to tell you and say.  First, I desire you all to know I have so many things I still wish to tell you and wish to say to you.  However, time is short. Therefore, God is allowing me this opportunity to be with you.  Praise Him for allowing me to be present to you now, for it is enough that I come among you now.

 

Little children, there are so many things I still wish to say to you, like how my Immaculate Heart yearns for you, and how my Immaculate Heart bore Jesus, and how His mercy radiates me because it overshadowed me, but these lessons and these things I wish to reveal to you can only happen if God so wills it and desires it, and therefore I desire you all to pray, pray that God may allow me to come back if necessary to reveal to you these things further.  I desire your prayers.

 

There is a time when even though everything may be set according to a schedule, it can be changed according to God’s desires and wishes, and therefore I do not wish you to say, “Oh, this year we have the schedule for next year and I will appear only on those specific dates.” No, dear children, as my Son has accompanied me to reveal to you that any time God wishes, He can come among His people, and so can I.  That is why I desire your prayers and your sacrifices to accomplish what I still have yet to accomplish.

 

However, the schedule next year shall be thus:

 

I will not appear on January 6th publicly. I shall come to you (Chris) privately on your birthday (January 6th).  It is necessary now that you undergo this trial because the secrets that you have are enough, and Lord knows, you yourself need enlightenment on how to deal with what is to come.

From now on I shall appear as I have appeared on April 13th.  God the Father shall come, My son Jesus shall come, and I shall come.

Also on April 24th, Jesus shall appear again, and

I shall appear again on April 25th publicly.

I shall appear again publicly on May 25th of next year.

However, I will not come for the October 13th anymore until it is the 95th anniversary and the 100th anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima. Until then, I shall not come on October 13th.

Next year shall also be my last Christmas message.  I desire you to know this, that next year shall be a very special year for it shall be my last year among you in this way during Christmas Eve.  However, I said, and I will say again, with your prayers, your fastings, and your sacrifices, God may lessen this and I may be allowed to come more often than you think, but it must always be in His Will first.              ?

 

And now my dear children, my message:

 

My dear little children, praised be Jesus!

 

My dear children, on this holy night that the Savior is born, I call you like never before to be reconciled with God.  Little children, Jesus came as a child, a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes.  He humbled himself in all humility to come in this form to be human and to be among His people.  Humble yourselves therefore, little children, and go to Confession and be cleansed of all your sins and be reconciled with God.

 

I desire also, little children, like never before to call you to conversion by means of prayer.  I call you to give private time praying to God, talking with Him, simply and honestly.  Little children, if you do not devote yourselves to private prayer, you cannot say you are converting and you cannot say that you are mine, beloved children.  Therefore, dear children, pray, and in prayer, communicate more with God.

 

If you desire help, I point you to Him who is in the Blessed Sacrament, my Son, your Savior Jesus.  He is there waiting day in and day out for all your prayers.  You do not need to be in for Adoration, just kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament hidden in the tabernacle is enough for you.  Pray, communicate your prayers.  You know how truly present He is among you.  He lives among you to welcome you into His glorious kingdom of peace, love, and joy, but you will only acquire this peace, love, and joy by converting yourselves fully to God.

 

Little children, I also desire you to know that I, your mother, love you, and I desire to be with you in a special way whenever you pray.  Simply call on me, and firmly believe, and I will be there.  My words are few and yet they are also many.  I’m calling you to conversion, and I’m also calling you to love me and have respect for me.  This is a new age, an age when many people shall receive sanctifying grace through me.  I am your mother, and I desire to lead you to Jesus, but even my Jesus grew, and so you must grow, dear children, in faith by continuing prayer, praying the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, my Mother of Mercy Chaplet, and by going to Mass, and as you grow, you will become holier, and then you will meet with the same fate as my Son, the Cross.  There is only one way to Jesus, that is through His Cross.  The Cross is joy!  The Cross is life! Therefore, receive this by your willingness to embrace both the Child Jesus and the Cross.

 

I love you, dear children, and I bless you.  I bless you and all that is here on the altar, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.  I bless everything that is in this room, on the altar, under the altar, by the altar, and everything you have on, and everything you have with you, I am blessing again, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

 

Now I shall take your petitions into my heart and shall present them to my Son, your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  As I make the Sign of the Cross again, I shall depart.  I shall depart, dear children, but I shall remain always with you in an ever special way when you pray.  Thank you, my dear little children, for having responded to my call, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.  I shall return again, now go in the peace of God.

Message (2) from MOTHER OF MERCY

 

To THE WORLD

 

December 24, 2007 through Chris Courtis, a visionary in Maryland, U.S.A.

 

(Our Blessed Mother is here!  So are the angels and saints!  Everyone is here and she’s holding the Baby Jesus!  She says she wants us to kneel down, to bow our heads in prayer.  Jesus’ hands are over us as the baby, and Our Lady’s hands are over us, so are all the angel’s and saint’s.  Our Lady says,)

 

Bow your heads and ask for God’s blessing.  Say one “Our Father”. [the group does so] (Now she asks us, as she does with me,”) Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.  (Our Lady says,)

 

Praised be Jesus!

 

Dear children,

 

Tonight I come to give you my motherly blessing of joy, love, peace, and mercy.  Tonight the angels join with me to let you know how much you are loved.  All the angels and the saints are awaiting your love to be given to Jesus.  Dear children, I love you and it is for this reason that I have come to bless you and to thank you for all that you have done for me and my Son.

 

I also desire to help you on the road to conversion and peace.  Tonight I desire you to know that because my apparitions are a little less frequent, I desire you to still read my messages and live them.  You say to yourself, “How can this be, dear mother, since you only appear now on certain days?”  I say to you, read and live these messages, but I also desire you, if you desire this too, to read and live the messages of Medjugorje.  I desire you to know not only am I the Queen of Peace but I am the Mother of Mercy.  Where there is mercy and joy, there is peace.  Where there is peace, there is always God’s mercy.  I desire you to know that of all the messages that you can put your time into besides these that I’m giving to you here, the most simple and basic ones that lead you to conversion are Our Lady, Queen of Peace of Medjugorje.

 

And now for my message:

 

Praised be Jesus,

 

Dear children,

 

Tonight, I call you to my Most Merciful Loving Heart.  Let all children seek refuge in my Merciful Immaculate Heart by means of prayer.  Those who consecrate themselves to me, to my Immaculate Heart (Mary (2) August 24, 2005) will receive special grace and protection.  Those who consecrate themselves to me will be especially loved by God.  Though they will suffer a great deal, I will never leave them.  My Immaculate Heart will be their refuge in a way that will lead all souls to God.  My heart is so laden with God’s mercy that I desire to shed it upon you through the title of Mother of Mercy, my chaplet, and my rosary.

 

Little children, comprehend that at the Annunciation, I was overshadowed.  What does the word, “overshadowed” mean?  God’s mercy had to dwell in me first, and yet His mercy had to also overshadow me, and second, the Holy Spirit had to descend in order for me to bear Jesus.  In all acts, it is the act of Divine Mercy.  Therefore when you pray to me under the title of Mother of Mercy, realize that I was overshadowed in God’s mercy and I can overshadow you with His mercy if you place your complete trust and hope in me.  Those who hope in this mother do not hope in vain.  I am your refuge for all your children, for all your loved ones, for those who desire conversion.  I will lead you to Jesus.  Trust me.  Open your heart.  My heart pours out such mercy and graces upon you, and yet it is always in the name of Jesus that I pour out His graces, His mercy, and my mercy as well.  Take to heart this lesson, dear children, and receive His mercy coming through me.  Mercy can exist, and does exist, but God will only send His mercy upon those who are humble.  Therefore, humble yourselves and be open to all that He, my Son, and I may allow.

 

I love you, dear children, and I bless you with my motherly blessing that comes from my Merciful Sorrowful Immaculate Heart.  Thank you for having responded to my call.  (She’s blessing us in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen)  Now go, my dear little angels, in the great peace, love, and mercy of God Most High.  Ad Deum.

 

(She’s dressed all in gold.  Everyone’s dressed in gold.  Oh, I don’t want her to go!  She says,)

 

I leave you, yet I remain with you.  (She’s gone.)

Monthly message as given to Anne, a lay apostle.

 

On the first of every month, Our Lord gives Anne a new message about His call to service.

 

January 1, 2008

 

Jesus I am always with you, dear apostles. You move through your days of service learning greater and greater lessons in holiness. I am the teacher. When you offer Me your day, you pledge to remain with Me throughout it. This in no way diminishes the need for you to experience your humanity with all of its joys and sorrows. On the contrary, it is through your daily joys and sorrows that you are learning the lessons of love. You might think that your cross is heavy and perhaps in truth the cross that you carry is heavy.

You might think that you would proceed more easily or more swiftly without the cross. This is possible, My friends, but to what purpose? Surely, I, Jesus Christ, could have advanced more quickly and comfortably to Calvary without the jeering of the crowds, the physical infirmities or the weight of the cross. This is an obvious statement. But you were destined to be saved by My Passion. The whole world benefited by My decision to accept God's will, which included suffering. In the same way, the world is benefiting from your decision to accept the crosses in your life. You offer Me your day. This is such a simple thing from the eyes of the world and yet, from the eyes of heaven, this is a very large offering indeed. Do not be afraid of the cross in each day. Do not think that your cross will interfere with the plan that I have for you. The truth is the opposite. The plan that I have for you includes suffering, and your holiness will increase because of your crosses. I do not rejoice in the suffering of My friends. No, I do not. I do rejoice in the willingness of My friends to suffer, for Me and with Me. This will never change. My gratitude toward each of My beloved apostles increases as each day?s commitment flows into the past. A stream of allegiance pledges trail behind you as you proceed into tomorrow. Be at peace in your crosses, I beg you, because your crosses benefit you in ways that you cannot understand. It must be enough for you that the Saviour understands. If you are weary, do not be afraid. You will have what you require to cope and I will sustain you. I was weary, also. If you falter, do not be discouraged. I faltered, also, and I will lift you back to your feet. There are no circumstances that should cause you to be anxious because just as you pledge your allegiance to the Father, I, the Saviour, pledge My allegiance to you. I will take care of you, My beloved ones. You will not be abandoned.

 

Powerful Messages from Yahweh Shalom

 

12/20/07 Our Blessed Mother came during the Noon Rosary this Thursday and Lory shared the following regarding what Mother had to say.

 

Our Holy Mother asked me to convey these words to those gathered this day. I come this day to give comfort to those suffering. Tell them I have taken their petitions before the throne of the Father.

 

Our Holy Mother then prayed quietly with us for a few moments, joining us at the Our Father and Glory Be.

 

There was a young man and young lady with us and when each led their decade of the Rosary, Mother smiled broadly. She was so happy that She was beaming. After both of the young people had finished leading their decade, Mother said The children are the hope of the world.

 

Our Blessed Mother was wearing a dark blue mantle which She had over Her Head and I could see Her blond Hair parted in the middle. She wore a white robe and stood barefoot with a large pearl on each Foot. On Her Head was a gold crown, and in Her right Hand She held a pearl Rosary and also a black Crucifix with a gold Corpus. The Crucifix was about 5 in length.

 

Our Mother showed me the Crucifix, and as I looked at Her Face, I saw Tears of Blood flowing down Her Cheeks. Then She said I ask that everyone here say each day one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be for those who will be caught in the catastrophes. I asked Mother, do you mean the catastrophe* , for the third year was the catastrophe. Mother replied No. We are approaching the second year, and this is for those who will be caught in the catastrophes of the second year. It flashed through my mind that this could be worse than all the accumulated wars that have ever been on this earth. Mother looked at me and came to where I was kneeling. She put Her Hand under my chin and lifted it. She said Yes. Little do they know what the Father has in store, but tell them not to worry about what may be, or will be, but to love and pray. Too little has been done too late; keep praying and loving.

 

Our Blessed Mother then turned and looked at everyone present and smiled. She radiated love and then I saw clear Tears mingled with the bloody ones and She said They give Me joy. Tell them I bless them and thank them for their love and their prayers.

 

*In December, 2006, Jesus said we would begin in January, 2007, a three year period. He said Disaster, Disaster, Catastrophe. I asked Jesus what this meant and He said that He would awaken His children. He stressed Disaster in the second year would be worse than in the first year. The third year would be the worst.

THURSDAY SCRIPTURE TEACHING BY JESUS

 

Beginning with the July 19, 2007 Thursday Prayer Gathering, the Lord begins a new thing. He will no longer select a previous message from the Blessed Mother and teach on that, but He will give a Scripture passage and teach on that.

 

12/27/07 ROMANS 3:12-20

 

My children gathered here today, you may think this is an odd choice during this holy Season when all are rejoicing and celebrating, but it is not.

 

I came not only to redeem man, but to teach him how to live. Just to observe the Law is not enough to come into full union with God while you are here on this earth. If you live only to avoid God's Wrath, you will not stay faithful to the Law. Fear, or the promise of some distant reward, is not enough to make you a Just person. Eventually you will go your own way in order to obtain earthly reward.

 

Love alone gives you strength, not only to be faithful to the Commandments and persevere in justice to the end of your days, but Love gives you insight and understanding of the Wisdom, Justice and Truth contained in the Commandments. Love opens the heart, the mind, and gives strength to the will. Love enables you to overcome all obstacles to reach the One Who is all-Good. Love reaches out to Love and a bond stronger than time and eternity is formed. It connects forever your heart to the Heart of God; your mind and will becomes one with the Mind and Will of the Father. Unity is reached here* when Love is the driving force behind your thoughts, words and actions. You are purified and restored through this Love that abides in you.

 

On the day I was born, Love breathed upon His creation. On the day I was born, I, Eternal Love, began to lead you to the Arms of your Father by showing you how to live virtuously, how to live by Spirit and Truth, and how to be able to surrender yourself, your life, your will in order to obtain true unity with the Triune God.

 

This time of year is not about a sweet little Baby in a manger, but about a God Who so loved His children that He sent His Son, God, into the world to bring you out of sin, to heal you and to give you true peace, joy and your eternal inheritance.

 

Thank the Father for His Infinite Love and His Infinite Mercy.

 

I, Jesus, bless you.

 

*During your lifetime on earth.
