“I wait for your love in return”

Reading: Luke 5:17-26

Dear friends,

Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “I say to you, rise, pick up your stretcher, and go home.” He stood up immediately before them, picked up what he had been lying on, and went home, glorifying God. Luke 5: 24-25

Today I will celebrate Holy Mass at 9:30 a.m. in the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. This evening I will go to the prayer meeting in Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road.

I was with Jesus, Our Lord early this morning during my half-hour of contemplative prayer. Jesus said, “Melvin, My brother, I love you. I love all My brothers and sisters living in every part of the world. I was born among you to show you God’s love and to redeem you from your sins. To show My compassion and love for you and especially for the sick, I cured all those who came to Me asking for a healing.

I healed people from all kinds of diseases and I even brought the dead back to life. I had come to bring life so that all may have it in abundance. It was My joy to bring the people back to good health. Through these healings I could also make the people think about the power I had and where it came from. It is a fact that only God has the power to heal people instantly or to bring the dead back to life. No human being has this power, but some are My instruments through whom I bring about great healings.

I exercised My healing power on people who believe in Me and have committed their lives to Me. Faith in Me is necessary before I will heal anybody. I could not heal many people in My hometown of Nazareth because of their lack of faith. If you wish to be healed, have faith and come and follow Me. As the Son of God, I have all power to heal any sickness, both physical and spiritual. The most important healing, though, is spiritual healing because it will last forever. Come and ask for a healing of your heart or for an increase of faith, hope and love. Ask to have the strength to forgive those who have hurt you in any way. These healings will bring you very close to Me, your Lord and your Brother. All that I do for you, I do it out of love. I wait for your love in return. I bless you and love you with all My heart.”

The Words of God the Father

through Gianna Sullivan

To the World

January 8, 2008



Children of Humanity,


Peace and blessings from Heaven!


I your Father love you, come to you and bless you. I give you everything that
is good. I am your Creator, desiring you to be created for the fulfillment of
the ultimate Truth---that being my Son Whom I gave to you unreservedly to be
martyred, to be completely humiliated, to be beaten until nearly His last
breath, and then to carry His own Cross to His execution which would be your
freedom.


This explosion of Light is the Love of God! It is a "forestep" of the warmth of
God to allow you to know how precious you are, how real God is, and how and why
you were created---ultimately to fulfill the Plan of this world's creation. It
is a step beyond, yet a step before an enlightenment, when all shall know and
will have to choose. This Light is a Light of Love---an invitation.


And how do you prepare? Perhaps its best to look within, within your wounds,
within life, and within your relationships and friendships. Look at how you
want and desire to live. If it is at peace, you shall attain Peace. If it is
with power, you shall fight the forces of humanity for this power. If it is
with the Power of God, most dignified and loving, then you shall embrace
humility. If it is in the Truth, you shall stand by the Truth until death. If
it is a surrendering and abandonment, then you shall be fulfilled most
abundantly and will be led at all levels to become a pillar of Light and an
ambassador of Peace, a lamp that shall never be extinguished. And all shall
move forward towards you for change, counseling and strength.


I love you. I love you so much that I have given My Son for you; and if you
think this is not important enough to understand and you disregard it, then My
special blessings are upon you for your strength when you realize the
opportunity you have missed.



Peace.

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 09 - THEY DO NOT REPENT

 

Eve of the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord

"The Eucharist is the center and summit of the whole of sacramental
life,
through which each Christian receives the saving power of the
Redemption,
beginning with they mystery of Baptism, in which we are buried into
the death of
Christ, in order to become sharers in his Resurrection, as the
Apostle teaches
(cf. Rom 6:3-5). In the light of this teaching, we see still more
clearly the
reason why the entire sacramental life of the Church and of each
Christian
reaches its summit and fullness in the Eucharist" (Pope John Paul II).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------

"What excuse shall we have, or how shall we obtain pardon, if we
consider it too much to go to Jesus, who descended from Heaven for
our sake? Those foreign pagan kings hastened thither from Persia to
see Him who lay in the manger; and thou, O Christian, canst thou not
spare a few moments to enjoy this heavenly spectacle?" (St. John
Chrysostom).

Meditations by Padre Pio - Once I showed the Padre a very pretty
branch of hawthorn in bloom, and pointing out to him the beautiful
white flowers, I exclaimed: "How beautiful!" "Yes," said the
Padre, "but the fruits are more beautiful than the flowers." In this
way he made me understand that good works are more beautiful than
good intentions.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
When one stirs up the waters, their reflection is distorted. So also
one's soul!
"Today many leave their homes, their country in search of new
experiences. There is some connection between stationariness of the
body and the acquisition of the superior truths of the spirit. It is
only the quiet pool that reflects the stars."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Renewal of vows. From the moment I woke up in the morning, my spirit
was totally submerged in God, in that ocean of love. I felt that I
had been completely immersed in Him. During Holy Mass, my love for
Him reached a peak of intensity. After the renewal of vows and Holy
Communion, I suddenly saw the Lord Jesus, who said to me with great
kindness, My daughter, look at My merciful Heart. As I fixed my gaze
on the Most Sacred Heart, the same rays of light, as are represented
in the image as blood and water, came forth from it, and I understood
how great is the Lord's mercy. And again Jesus said to me with
kindness, My daughter, speak to priests about this inconceivable
mercy of Mine. The flames of mercy are burning Me-clamoring to be
spent; I want to keep pouring them out upon souls; souls just don't
want to believe in My goodness. Suddenly Jesus disappeared. But
throughout that whole day my spirit remained immersed in God's
tangible presence, despite the buzz and chatter that usually follow a
retreat. It did not disturb me in the least...(177)

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 9 - THEY DO NOT REPENT
In response to a question by Mirjana as to how God could send anyone
to hell.

Our Lady responded:

Men who go to hell no longer want to receive any benefit from God.
They do not repent nor do they cease to blaspheme. They make up their
minds to live in hell and do not contemplate leaving it (Special
Message Jan 1, 1983).

In the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, Jesus also alludes to the
reality of hell:

The poor man died and was carried away by the angels to be with
Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades, where he
was being tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with
Lazarus by his side (Lk 16:22-23).

Reflection:

The word "hell" was translated from the word "Gehenna", which was
named after the Hinnon Valley, where in times past children had been
sacrificed by fire to the pagan gods. It was a term that evoked
horror.

Concerning hell, which the Madonna had shown her, Vicka relates:

In the center of this place is a great fire, like an ocean of raging
flames. We could see people before they went into the fire, and then
we could see them coming out of the fire. Before they go in, they
look like normal people. The more they are against God's will, the
deeper they enter into the fire, and the deeper they go, the more
they rage against him. When they come out of the fire, they don't
have a human shape anymore; they are more like grotesque animals, but
unlike anything on earth. It's as if they were never human beings
before.

Vicka echoes the Blessed Virgin when she says, of those choosing
hell, "they deny God, even when it is time to die. And they continue
to deny him, after they are dead. It is their choice. It is their
will that they go to hell. They choose hell."

Application:

We can choose one of two paths in our lives: to become even more
humane, compassionate, and loving, or become ever more inhumane,
cruel, animal-like. In prayer today, tell the Lord again of your
choice for him; ask him for the help and grace you will need to
achieve perfect love, or heaven.

FROM NOW UNTIL THEN

GOD GAVE YOU, DEAR CHILDREN, THE GIFT OF FREE WILL,
YET YOUR CHOICES CONTINUE THE UNBORN TO KILL.
IT IS NOT MOTHER NATURE BUT THE SWORD IN GOD’S HAND
THAT WILL BEGIN NOW TO CLEANSE ALL THE SINS FROM THIS LAND.

THE CLEANSING, DEAR CHILDREN, THAT GOD IS NOW SENDING
IS NOW IMMINENT AND NO LONGER JUST PENDING.
AS GOD’S SWORD NEARS THE EARTH, EACH EVENT WILL INCREASE
UNTIL MANKIND ONCE AGAIN IS BROUGHT DOWN TO ITS KNEES.

THE MOUNTAINS WILL CRUMBLE; THE SEAS OVERFLOW;
THE LANDSCAPE WILL NOT BE AS ONCE YOU DID KNOW.
VOLCANOES IN SUCCESSION WILL BEGIN TO ERUPT
SPEWING MOLTEN LAVA OVER ALL THAT’S CORRUPT.

A GREAT WAR WILL BREAK OUT; COUNTLESS LIVES WILL BE LOST;
THIS EVENT WILL RESEMBLE A WORLD-WIDE HOLOCAUST.
WHEN THE COMET, DEAR CHILDREN, WITH THE EARTH DOES COLLIDE,
ONLY THE ROAD THAT IS NARROW WILL REMAIN, NOT THE WIDE.

Mark Mallett
—Spiritual Food For Thought—
State of Emergency

 

THE "word" below is from an American priest at whose parish I gave a mission. It is a message which restates what I have written here several times: the critical need at this juncture in time for regular Confession, prayer, time spent before the Blessed Sacrament, reading of the Word of God, and devotion to Mary, the Ark of Refuge.

My Son, you live in times of great fear. Indeed you are living in a state of emergency! For look about you and see how structures are falling and collapsing:

Life is held in contempt.
 

Murder, abortion, animal rights are held to be more sacred than human life.
Economic fragility brings fear to family life and personal security.
Terrorism brings fear that there is no viable defense.
Environmental concerns reveal a fear that soon no human being will have a dignified dwelling.

My son, all these call for a people to conduct themselves in an orderly state of emergency. My son, unless the faith of my people is firm they will not be firm against what is about to fall upon the world! My son, as Joseph did, you must do”in faith, obey, and I will bring you from apparent disaster to victory! Do not do as Ahaz, refusing to heed my word and counsel [Is 7:11-13]. For like him, you will end in disaster! My son, when Joseph awoke, he took the child and the mother into his home! You must call upon your people to bring devotion to the Eucharist, Scripture, and my mother into their homes. Indeed, these are my emergency response procedures that will save many lives. —Fr. Maurice LaRochelle, December 22nd, 2007

 

Do not let the simplicity or even the monotony of these devotions (the Rosary, Adoration,  etc.) prompt you to under-estimate them.  For they are,

…enormously powerful, capable of destroying fortresses… (2 Cor 10:4)

They are the special tools or "procedures" given to the Church, through the authority of Christ, for this "state of emergency." It is not that they are new; rather, those who have recourse to them are being granted special and powerful graces like never before.

The unspiritual man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. (1 Cor 2:14)

It is only a childlike heart that will begin to perceive and receive the necessary graces. It is only the childlike soul that will hear the Lord and Blessed Mother giving instructions for these times as we wait in the Bastion. It is only the little ones who will be able to trust and be at peace as The Unfolding begins.

 

THE THIRD SLUMBER

Praying before the Blessed Sacrament, I had the sense once again that many are being tempted again to fall into the slumber of materialism and other temptations of the flesh—the slumber of the Third Watch, or more specifically, that final slumber before Christ truly wakes us up, and we enter great events already beginning to unfold.

He returned a third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is to be handed over to sinners. Get up, let us go. See, my betrayer is at hand. (Mk 14:41-42)

Renew your dedication to God today: begin again. Fix your eyes on Jesus. Live in the Present Moment, listening, watching, and praying.

For we are in a state of emergency.

I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. (Matt 11:25)

Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock. (Matt 7:24-25)

Message #3034 to Little Mary - November 15, 2007


Time moves quickly, so please turn to God and ask for His assistance"

MESSAGE #3034 from the Blessed Mother November 15, 2007

My daughter, Let us pray so more turn to God before it's too late.

Time moves quickly, so please, please dear children, turn to God and ask for His assistance. In order to climb God's holy mountain, you must repent and trust in God's mercy and love. You must be attentive to God and obey each Commandment.

 

Change will happen if you do your part. You will grow and blossom if you respond with love in your heart. Conversion will happen if you allow my Son to dwell in you. Wars will cease if you pray and love one another. You will be purified if you allow God to be in control of your life.

Please, dear children, begin today, for the world is becoming darker.
Begin today, for much evil roams the earth. Due to lack of faith, many are living in mortal sin.

 

 Please pray together as a family so you are strengthened for the many trials yet to come. Take refuge in My Immaculate Heart and I will truly, truly help you on those difficult days.

 

The Rosary is your weapon, so please join hands and pray. Pray and trust in God and you will receive My Son's mercy and peace. Pray and open your hearts and abandon yourselves to God.

This is the way to true happiness. This is how you will receive God's strength.  Amen.

BVM to db during 10:00AM Cenacle of Prayers

My children I love you. Open your hearts to the gift of the peace of God.

Dear children do you still not recognize Jesus among you?

My dear children there is not life apart from God, only death. You are called to life. Jesus gave His life for love of you that you could have life and have it to the full, eternal life with God.

-SHARING THESE WORDS --- 1-7-08--LUZ DIAZ


ARE YOU PREPARED ???????


As time goes by, as we start a new year,

Do you feel you are prepared?

Prepared for the changes that are rapidly

Growing the world all over.

It is not a matter of getting scared,

But a matter of being aware



Aware that one day, in a final way

We reach our day to depart.

And why not stop to think-

How are we really prepared

We tend To plan about material security, well-being

Which is normal but not the total planning-


For God so well created each of us, to live

On earth and one day return to HIS abode-

We need to think of this, we need to live as HE

Wants us to live.. in serenity even when there

Is chaos around in love even when it is hard

To forgive and forget In detachment even when

We know all material things remain and only

OUR SOUL prevails For that is the way God

Designed us - to be on earth in a body HE made,

And then to HIS a bode return our SOUL

HIS most precious present given at birth -

Our SOUL which, we must defend and preserve

From al evil, until the end -

It is a CHALLENGE and today, we must refresh

Our minds and make this a true EVENT -

Living each day, trusting HIM, obeying HIM,

Even when it is difficult we need to PERSEVERE

No matter if we feel so unworthy,

HE knows It ALL and by our side HE will be,

And ANGELS HE will send, if we ask HIM to

Be our help!

-2-

Are you PREPARED?

HE is calling -- HE is waiting

Do not delay in saying:


HERE I AM LORD, I AM ON MY WAY

DO NOT LEAVE ME - HOLD MY HAND

FOR THE PATH IS HEAVY AND WITH YOU

I WANT TO BE,

WHEN MY DAY COMES

FOR ME TO DEPART. Amen

We beseech you to grant us the help of your prayers, which incline our Heavenly Father to forgive our sins and grant our petitions in all the necessities of this miserable life, prayers which obtain for us an abundance of graces to receive the pardon of our faults and arrive at the practice of virtue, prayers
which stop our enemies, confound their designs, and triumph over their efforts.
Amen.


PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF PROMPT SUCCOR

Patroness of State of Louisiana

Our Lady of Prompt Succor, ever Virgin Mother of Jesus Christ our Lord
and God, you are most powerful against the enemy of our salvation. The divine promise of a Redeemer was announced right after the sin of our first parents; and you, through your Divine Son, crushed the serpent's head.

 

Hasten, then, to our help and deliver us from the deceits of satan. Intercede for us with Jesus that we may always accept God's graces and be found faithful to Him in our particular states of life. As you once saved our beloved City from ravaging flames and our Country from an invading army, have pity on us and obtain for us protection from hurricanes and all other disasters. (Silent pause for individual
petitions). Assist us in the many trials which beset our path through life.

Watch over the Church and the Pope as they uphold with total fidelity the purity of faith and morals against unremitting opposition. Be to us truly Our Lady of Prompt Succor now and especially at the hour of our death, that we may gain everlasting life through the merits of Jesus Christ Who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.

Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us. (Three times)

GOD GAVE YOU, DEAR CHILDREN, THE GIFT OF FREE WILL,

AS GOD’S SWORD NEARS THE EARTH, EACH EVENT WILL INCREASE

THE LANDSCAPE WILL NOT BE AS ONCE YOU DID KNOW.
VOLCANOES IN SUCCESSION WILL BEGIN TO ERUPT
SPEWING MOLTEN LAVA OVER ALL THAT’S CORRUPT.

A GREAT WAR WILL BREAK OUT; COUNTLESS LIVES WILL BE LOST;
THIS EVENT WILL RESEMBLE A WORLD-WIDE HOLOCAUST.

IF YOU’RE NOT, THERE’LL BE NO TIME LEFT TO TURN BACK.
THOSE WHO WERE GIVEN TIME BUT FAILED TO REPENT
WILL NOT BE A PART OF GOD’S CHOSEN REMNANT.

ONLY THOSE, MY DEAR CHILDREN, WHO WERE FAITHFUL AND PRAYED

Message #3034 to Little Mary - November 15, 2007


Time moves quickly, so please turn to God and ask for His assistance"

MESSAGE #3034 from the Blessed Mother November 15, 2007

My daughter, Let us pray so more turn to God before it's too late.

Time moves quickly, so please, please dear children, turn to God and ask for His assistance. In order to climb God's holy mountain, you must repent and trust in God's mercy and love. You must be attentive to God and obey each Commandment.

Change will happen if you do your part. You will grow and blossom if you respond with love in your heart. Conversion will happen if you allow my Son to dwell in you. Wars will cease if you pray and love one another. You will be purified if you allow God to be in control of your life.

Please, dear children, begin today, for the world is becoming darker.
Begin today, for much evil roams the earth. Due to lack of faith, many are living in mortal sin.

Please pray together as a family so you are strengthened for the many trials yet to come. Take refuge in My Immaculate Heart and I will truly, truly help you on those difficult days.

The Rosary is your weapon, so please join hands and pray. Pray and trust in God and you will receive My Son's mercy and peace. Pray and open your hearts and abandon yourselves to God.

This is the way to true happiness. This is how you will receive God's strength.
Amen.

BVM to db during 10:00AM Cenacle of Prayers

My children I love you. Open your hearts to the gift of the peace of God.

Dear children do you still not recognize Jesus among you?

My dear children there is not life apart from God, only death. You are called to life. Jesus gave His life for love of you that you could have life and have it to the full, eternal life with God.

ARE YOU PREPARED ???????


As time goes by, as we start a new year,

Do you feel you are prepared?

Prepared for the changes that are rapidly

Growing the world all over.

It is not a matter of getting scared,

But a matter of being aware



Aware that one day, in a final way

We reach our day to depart.

And why not stop to think-

How are we really prepared

We tend To plan about material security, well-being

Which is normal but not the total planning-


For God so well created each of us, to live

On earth and one day return to HIS abode-

We need to think of this, we need to live as HE

Wants us to live.. in serenity even when there

Is chaos around in love even when it is hard

To forgive and forget In detachment even when

We know all material things remain and only

OUR SOUL prevails For that is the way God

Designed us - to be on earth in a body HE made,

And then to HIS a bode return our SOUL

HIS most precious present given at birth -

Our SOUL which, we must defend and preserve

From al evil, until the end -

It is a CHALLENGE and today, we must refresh

Our minds and make this a true EVENT -

Living each day, trusting HIM, obeying HIM,

Even when it is difficult we need to PERSEVERE

No matter if we feel so unworthy,

HE knows It ALL and by our side HE will be,

And ANGELS HE will send, if we ask HIM to

Be our help!

-2-

Are you PREPARED?

HE is calling -- HE is waiting

Do not delay in saying:


HERE I AM LORD, I AM ON MY WAY

DO NOT LEAVE ME - HOLD MY HAND

FOR THE PATH IS HEAVY AND WITH YOU

I WANT TO BE,

WHEN MY DAY COMES

FOR ME TO DEPART. Amen

Today's Message
January 8, 2008

“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.

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)

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)

 

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 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.
