Message from Our Blessed Mother to Jorge Zavala
Translated from Spanish

Message from Our Blessed Mother to Jorge Zavala
February 20, 2008

St. Bruno's Church, San Bruno, CA

Dear little children,

In this holy season I call you to begin upon a new path. Remove from your lives the darkness of sin and allow the light of grace to surface in your hearts.

Little children, do not ignore the signs my Son gives
you. The eclipse deprives you of light; you must pass from darkness to light, from the old man to the new man.

Little children, I call you to a repentance of your faults and to amend your lives. This time of Lent is a time of grace when you can open your hearts and
be renewed by the Light of the World.

Little children, do not forget that in the Cross grace is found.

My little ones, God loves you greatly and I, in the same way, love you. I bless
you and may the peace of the Lord remain always in your hearts.

Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez

Thanks to Marta for sending these messages. They are translated from Spanish


Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez
February 20, 2008

St. Bruno's Church, San Bruno, CA

Dear little children, Praised be Jesus!

Children of mine, halt time at this moment in your lives. Pause for a moment
and make an examination of conscience meditating, with the heart, on all the
negative things that may be in your lives. Meditate on your sins, on your
weaknesses, on your bad and impure intentions toward your brothers and sisters.


Meditate how much you love Jesus; on how you can come to love Him more; on how
you can please Him more; on how you could come to be saints.

 

Meditate on how to pray better, on how to unite yourselves in prayer with Jesus. Meditate today
and not tomorrow.

 

Jesus calls you to be saints today and not tomorrow. Today
is a time of grace, of sacrifice, of fasting. Today is a time to listen, with
the heart, to Jesus.

Little children, Jesus is your faithful friend. Jesus loves you. Tell Him as
many times as you can and feel, I love you Jesus, I love you, I love you Jesus.
It is in this way that you can come to please Him and make Him happy. He waits
at every moment for you to tell Him that you I love Him.

Little children, be holy; now is the moment to be holy. I unite myself together
with you in prayer and in love to show you how much I desire to hear from you
that you love Him (Jesus).

Pray, pray, pray. I love you and I bless you this night in a special way and my
deacons and beloved priests I wrap inside my Immaculate Heart. May the peace of
Almighty God be always with all of you.

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

"He remains among us until the end of the world. He dwells on so many altars, though so often offended and profaned" (St. Maximilian Kolbe).


Mother Teresa -

Jesus said, " Learn of me for I am meek and humble of heart."

 


 The naked truth is the magnet to draw hearts


Meditations by Padre Pio -

Walk with simplicity in the ways of the Lord and do not torment your spirit. Your must hate your faults, but with a quiet hate, not troublesome and restless. We must be patient with them and gain from them through holy humility. Without that patience, instead of diminishing, your imperfections will increase constantly, as there is nothing that nourishes our defects like restlessness, and the haste to drive them away.


 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

How we have lowered the moral bar

"The growth of democracy has done much to do away with a false social snobbishness and to keep men humble in their external relations. But it has also, from another point of view, weakened the respect for Goodness and Truth, inasmuch as the masses of people are generally inclined to equate morality with the general level of society at any given moment."


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

 Hail to You, Eternal Love, my Sweet Jesus, who have condescended to dwell in my heart! I salute You, O glorious Godhead who have deigned to stoop to me, and out of love for me have so emptied Yourself as to assume the insignificant form of bread. I salute You, Jesus, never-fading flower of humanity. You are all there is for my soul.

 

Your love is purer than a lily, and Your presence is more pleasing to me than the fragrance of a hyacinth. Your friendship is more tender and subtle than the scent of a rose, and yet it is stronger than death. O Jesus, incomprehensible beauty, it is with pure souls that You communicate best, because they alone are capable of heroism and sacrifice.

 

O sweet, rose-red blood of Jesus, ennoble my blood and change it into Your own blood, and let this be done to me according to Your good pleasure.       (1575)

O my Jesus, if You yourself do not soothe the longing of my soul, then no one can either comfort or soothe it. Your every approach arouses new raptures of love in my soul, but also a new agony;

 

because, despite all Your approaches to my soul, even the most exceptional, I am still loving You from a distance, and my heart dies in an ecstasy of love; because this is still not the complete and eternal union, although You commune with me so very often unveiled [as if face to face]; nevertheless,

You thereby open in my soul and heart an abyss of love and desire for You, my God, and this bottomless abyss, this total desiring of God, cannot be completely filled on this earth.       (1600)


 

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.

 

March 1 - EXPERIENCE THIS PEACE

Our Lady speaks of peace in this monthly message:

"Dear Children, today I thank you and I want to invite you all to God's peace. I want each of you to experience, in your heart, this peace which only God can give. I bless you with God's blessing and beseech you to live, dear children, in the way I have shown you.

I love you, dear children, which is why I do not count the number of times I have called you—and continue to call you.

I thank you for all you have done according to my wishes. Help me, please, that I may present you to God and guide you to salvation." (Monthly Message June 25, 1987).

And in John's gospel, Christ gives his peace to his disciples:

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. (Jn 14:26-27)

Reflection:

The effect of the Holy Spirit's work in our lives is often a deep and lasting peace. Unlike the world's peace, which is only the absence of conflict, this peace lives in us as a confident assurance in all circumstances. With Christ's peace, we have no need to fear the past, present, or future.

Application:

Reflect today on this line from the philosopher Baruch Spinoza: "Peace is not an absence of war; it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, and justice."

Messages to The Two Patricks-Dec. 18,2007 to Fwb.16,2008

 

Tuesday 18 December 2007


Jesus:


Look, My children, look at the signs of your times. See how this world moves very quickly away from Me. Most are caught in the lethargy of self and do not see what is happening, they do not see the fulfilment of My Scripture. Wake up I say, wake up before it is too late.

 

Many events are about to take place and you are not prepared. Many of you will say, ‘…but I have waited so long for these events and nothing has happened.’

 

Look around you and see the truth of what has happened and is happening.

 

Man has become arrogant and he only thinks of himself and what he can gain. No longer is he willing to help his neighbour, no longer is he willing to look to his God. All mankind is interested in is what he can gain for himself and what he can steal from his neighbour. You ask, in what way do I steal:

 

when you seek unjust wages, when you give unjust wages, charge exorbitant prices and, most of all, do not love, these are but a few examples of how you steal from your neighbour.

These Words are Truth and they are Life, if you take them into your lives. They are My Hand reaching out to you to pull you from the danger that you are now in. I cannot force you, children, I can but simply ask you to take My Hand. I Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.


Thursday 20 December 2007


Jesus:


Truth is what I seek, Truth is what you must give Me if you are to be a follower of Mine. Too long has this world trodden the path of untruth and not looked to My Ways.

I Love you, My little ones, and I ask that you be in Truth in your lives, there is no need for the deceit in this world to be a part of you.

I Love you and I ask you to look at the Truth - to see My Ways - and then you can change your lives by dying to the things of this world. The more you die to the things of this world, the more you will begin to see, the more you will begin to desire My Ways.

The scales will begin to fall from your eyes and Truth shall become clear to you. I Love you, My little ones, and My only desire is that you be with Me in My Father's Kingdom. Come, look and find the Truth of what you seek. I Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.


Tuesday 25 December 2007


Christmas Day


Jesus:


My children, this is the Day that Love was Born into this world. My Love was given to mankind on this Day and the Gates of My Father’s Kingdom stood at the ready to open.

I live My Life for you as a Sacrifice; I Died for you as a Sacrifice so that you could have Eternal Life with Me in My Father’s Kingdom. So few have accepted what I have done, so few are willing to look at the Truth.

You cannot see anything but your own lives, whereas I offer you something greater than anything that you can find upon this earth. My children, My children, I say trust in Me, your God, and trust in the Words that I am giving to you.

I have fulfilled My Words with Scripture, I came, I Suffered and I Died for your Salvation. What more can a man give than when he gives his lifeblood.

I gave All for you, children. Take a little moment of your time and look at what I have done for you. I Love you and I thank you for reading these Words. I, your Jesus, Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

Saint Stephen’s Day


Listen, My children, to the cries of My Houses as they wait to bloom.

They are the voices of children, crying out for their countries. They are appointed to be the sentinels of each country that they are founded in. But, they cry out for lack of use.

Do not forget them. Go to them. They are My children and they are your children. Through them you will be able to bring My Words to each country that I send you to.

They are stepping stones across a country (Europe) that should never be. My Houses are that country’s conscience and My Words are the advice I give. Spread My Word, My children.


The earth is crying out as the burden of sin reaches its all time high. My Words will stop many from an eternity in hell, they will save.

But I need many to carry these vessels of Truth into the world so that I can speak to My children. Your hearts are those vessels. Give Me all of your heart so that I might fill them with Good Things to give to My children.


The world calls you, children. This new year will see many of you deciding for or against Me. What will you choose?

These are the times of hunger that I have already spoken of. My Words are your food in the times of the famine of faith. Lo! It approaches rapidly.

 

Thursday 10 January 2008


Believe, believe in Me, generation, for I am your God and I call you to believe in Me in these times. Do not turn away from Me and what I am saying to you but believe in Me, My children, for I have many Words to speak to you.

My Love is given to you so that you can have Eternal Life in My Father’s Kingdom, do not reject this Love for it is I. My Love is given to you freely; accept it and the prize shall be yours.

The Kingdom of Heaven awaits you, do not reject it for I have given much for you and you have been bought at a great Price.

I Love you and I ask you to take on My Words. Believe, children, it is only through believing that you can have faith in Me. I Love you and I call out to you in these Words to come follow Me. I, your Jesus, Love you.


Monday 14 January 2008


My children, I call you back from the brink of disaster. You are standing on the edge of the abyss and you are not listening to My Warnings. I Love you, My little ones, and I call you back. Come, it is I, your God, who calls.

Trust in My Words to you and repent of your evil ways and come follow Me. Let sin fade from your lives and let it be replaced with prayer and sacrifice for your brothers and sisters so that they may come to know Me.

I Love you, My little children, I Love you and I ask you for your help in the Salvation of many souls. Do much prayer and sacrifice so that they may gain the Graces to come to know Me.

I Love you, My little children, and I ask that you fight against the temptations of this world. I Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.


Wednesday 16 January 2008


Patrick:


Jesus, what about Fatima?


Jesus:


My Mother's Words have not been fulfilled. This Message has all but been ignored and so mankind will suffer the consequences.

If My Mother's Message had been fulfilled, this earth would have known Peace but communism has spread the error of its ways throughout this world and My Church.


This Warning was given for man’s repentance. It was a Gift from My Heart so that mankind could see the error of his ways and turn back to his God.


My Mother has wept many Tears as She has seen Her Message being trodden underfoot.

Russia has spread the error of her ways to the four corners of this earth and mankind in his blindness cannot see it.


Pray much that the chastisement be lessened for very few will be saved from its wrath. Mankind has brought this upon himself because of his sin. Soon and very soon the world that you know will change overnight.

Everything that you have come to recognize and rely upon as normal will be no more and the brutality of man will be seen at its fullness.

I, your God, will allow man to bring about his own downfall and nations will be annihilated and then there shall be Peace for mankind will come to know his God.

He shall recognize the error of his ways and repentance shall be known and seen throughout all the lands of this world.


As My Mother has said, pray with earnest hearts, pray the Rosary each day against the abominations that are committed in the Name of your God and for the repentance of poor sinners.


Patrick:


Jesus, we are really so blind. We live our lives thinking that nothing will ever change. We laugh at the thought of war for we think it will never come to our own land. The greed of mankind is unstoppable without Your Grace and so few are willing to take this on.


Jesus:


As I have said, My son, look around and see the Truth. This world has forgotten Me, no longer does it wish to know its God. Rather it only wishes to see self and what self desires.

I preach a Message of Love and repentance to this world but very few are willing to take on this Message for all are too concerned about self. Man cannot see that his life is so short upon this earth and he does not prepare for the next life that lasts for all eternity.

It is so important that you see this that I am saying; see the Truth in My Words and prepare for eternity so that you will gain your place in My Kingdom.


I am a God of Love, Truth and Mercy but I am also a God of Justice for without Justice there can be no Mercy.

The blood of the innocent cries out to Me each day for Justice and soon I shall bring My Justice to bear on mankind and he shall know the wrath of his God but first I shall give all mankind one final chance and this is what My Mother promised at Garabandal.

If man does not listen and take on this warning then the great chastisement will descend.


Patrick:


Jesus, we are not going to listen, are we?


Jesus:


Has mankind listened in the past? Has mankind taken on the Words that I have given him from the beginning of time?

Has mankind listened as I shed My Blood on Calvary? Has mankind listened to the many Words of Warning I have given through My Mother and Myself?

Man chooses in his arrogance to listen to the inspirations of lucifer and only seeks his own pleasure.


I say turn away from your evil ways and come follow Me for your time is limited. Already the armies have gathered and the last Great Battle is but a heartbeat away. This earth shall be unrecognizable when all has come to an end.


Trust in Me, children, and only Me for your bodies matter little, it is your souls that are important.

What does it matter if you gain this world if you are going to lose your life eternal. This world matters little for it is but dust and onto dust it shall return.

Return to Me in prayer and sacrifice and My Hand of Justice shall relent. Listen to these Words for they are Words of Warning. I Love you, My children, I Love you. Come, follow Me.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

 

Thursday 17 January 2008


My children, it is your Jesus who speaks. I Love you and I call you deeper into Me, especially in this new year that you have entered. I ask that you strive to follow Me deeper in this time.

Do not be like sheep who wander far from the shepherd in search of new pasture. I have given you all the pasture that you could desire. Why look elsewhere?


I Love you, My children, and I ask that you give Me of your time so that I may use it to the good. Many are called but few come. Listen to Me! I call you now this day;

I reach My Voice deep inside you so that you shall hear Me. I Am is calling you to come to Him for the harvest is great and the labourers are few. Come to Me. This I ask of you.


Hear Me in your heart, hear Me in your soul. Hear Me, I need you. I Love you.

 

Friday 18 January 2008


3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;


4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.


5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry.


2 Timothy 4:3-5


Patrick:


Jesus, this is what is happening now in this time. Priests and schoolteachers are full of heresy, teaching a doctrine that is totally of this world and nothing to do with You.

Priests and teachers are very quick to say that they do not believe in such things as Adam and Eve and so many other things within Your Scriptures.


Jesus, was Adam the first man and Eve the first woman who ever lived on this earth?


Jesus:


My son, you know this to be true, so why do you ask?


Patrick:


So that others may also know through these Messages.


Jesus:


My son, if they do not believe in My Scriptures they are not going to listen to these Words that I speak through you.


Look at the Truth, these teachers of My Word only look for self gain, they are not My shepherds but they are wolves in sheep's clothing and they teach a false gospel, a gospel of self, lies and untruth.

Because they have not followed My teachings they can neither see nor know what is Truth. They are caught up in the web of lucifer and do not wish to know My Truth.

Look, My son, it was the likes of these priests and teachers that Crucified Me on Calvary; it was they that nailed Me to the Cross because My teachings did not suit their selfish lifestyle.


Patrick:


Jesus, why can they not see when they have spent so many years studying in order to become priests and teachers?


Jesus:


It is a job, My son, for these fallen children of Mine. They neither know Me or have the desire to know Me in their blindness.


In order to know Me you must have a prayer life. If you do not have a prayer life then how can you know Me? You cannot be friends with someone if you have never talked to them.

If you talk about them you never know them. It is the same with those who do not follow Me in truth.

They talk about Me and presume to know Me in their own thinking, so if My Laws do not suit their lifestyle then in their minds they presume that God would not be like that and so they change My Words.

You can see this all around you. In these days many shepherds have fallen away from Me and only seek the ways of the world and preach false doctrine and are responsible for the spiritual deaths of many, many of My children.

They have forgotten the Truth for they neither wish to know or see what they are doing.


Patrick:


It is very sad, Jesus, but I know many priests like this and I hear of many religious teachers that teach a totally different faith from what I was taught when I was a child.


Jesus:


My son, pray and sacrifice much for these that they may come to know and live My Truth. Without much prayer and sacrifice, these children shall be lost to Me forever.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

Day of Love


Look, My faithful ones, look how I open My Heart to you this Day; I stand at the door Myself, to welcome you. I do this because I Love you. I wait upon you, Myself. I Love you.


I call you here, My children, to give you the Good News of My Kingdom, in the hope that you will carry it to the four corners of this earth. The world has need of My Words;

you have need of My Words. I give them to you this Day as I have always done. I have given them to you freely, now, you must freely give.


Times are grave, My children. So so much darkness abounds that it is difficult to see your way, difficult to find Me. Cling to Me, children, for I am the Rock, a solid rock that you can depend on. Hold on to Me for your very spiritual life may depend upon it.


Because of the great sin in the world, many spirits are present in the world trying to break down those who still believe. I give you these Words this Day because the world calls louder than I.


I have told you that in this year many will fight for their faith in Me, many will fall. I call upon you, My faithful flock, to be very vigilant. I beg of you to watch every move of the evil one for he plans much. DO NOT LET him WIN OVER YOU.


You are My flock and I Warn you that you wander close to the precipice.


Take these Words as My Gift to you, to Warn you of impending danger. Take these Words into your hearts and give them to others who do not know what you know.


Open your eyes, My sheep, My flock. See the danger that is all around you. This is My Love for you that I Warn you of these things. The water rises to cover the land and you have not prepared your boats.


Look deeply into these Words, My Remnant. They are not just Words that you have heard before; they are Alive with the Fire of My Spirit and they are your steadfast path; the sure path that keeps you from stumbling in the dark.


Be vigilant for the evil one will strike when you least expect him to.


Too, I give you Joy this Day; a Gift plucked from My own Heart. Be in this Joy so that you will remember it in the days of darkness that will surely come.


Will you let My Words rest in You this Day, My Flock, so that the Son of Man can find a place to rest His weary Head? Is your heart open to Me, open to the Work that I have for you? Then give Me all of you this Day. My Work, at times, will be dangerous for you, for your life. Are you prepared for this, My flock?


I am preparing My Houses, My Refuges, as I said I would. I have given you reasons why I prepare them. Come to Me; give Me the help that I need in these.

I call to you and I promise nothing for your help, only what I have already promised in My Scriptures. Give of yourself.


I would share with you, My flock, that it is time to open all of My Houses for as many hours as you can give Me in your day. I still need your hands and feet and lips to do this.

The Fire of My Love must burn bright in this new, created land of Europe for they will corrupt you away from Me, in fact, they have begun already. That is why I call you with urgency. I call you, will you come?


Sunday 20 January 2008


My children, I Love you. Do not fear or be worried unnecessarily of these times that you live in. Instead, form little groups, burning with the Fire of My Love, which I give you so generously this Day, to bring My Light to this world. I thank you for your loyalty to Me, your God.


Come to Me, I call you. Come to Me for I Love you as I did My Holy Ones.1 I give you the same Love as they; go, as they did and bring My Fire into this world. Do not wait for the evil one to tear you down for this is what happens when you wait too long.

Let the Fire shine; the Fire of My Love is in this room this Day and it is for you. Do not insult Me by keeping it to yourself but please Me by lighting up the darkness with it. Do not let the evil one rob you of it. Rise up, My children, and live the Ways of your God! I Am is with you. Hold My Cross up high as your banner for My Cross is your Victory.

Do not wait for those who will not come but let the dead bury the dead, instead, come to Me, prepared to carry My Light to the four corners of this world, no matter what the cost to you. I have paid the Price for all of it.


So, now that you have My Light, go into the world; believe in Me and cry the battle cry of Victory. Go into the whole world from this, My Heart, and give them My Love.

Expect nothing in return when you give; only give My Love. My Revolution begins this Day. Do not worry of the political things of this world or the political things of My Church, I will put all things right when I Come. Let My Revolution begin with you. I Love you.


1 The Apostles.


Thursday 24 January 2008


Patrick:


Jesus, why do we find it so hard to die to ourselves, to see what You have done for us? Self sacrifice is no longer part of our lives, all we can see is self and what self desires.


Jesus:


This world has forgotten Me, My son, it has listened to the lies of lucifer and so follows a path of self and self seeking. If My people spent time with Me in prayer they would realise what I have done for them and so self sacrifice would return.

Dying to self is not promoted in these days for it goes against lucifer’s plan. You can see this all about you, this world is consumed with only seeking the good of self.


This is why My children laugh when they hear of such things as fasting and say that it is medieval or old-fashioned for they no longer wish to know the path that I have placed before them.

Dying to self cleanses the body of the desires for the things of this world and so My Life comes to the fore and then I am allowed to use this soul for the good of its brothers and sisters.

Without dying to self you cannot come to know Me in truth for self will always be a stumbling block and will be constantly leading you away from Me. Look, you can see this in your own life, My son, self is constantly going against what I am asking of you.

You need to fight harder, you need to see Me for who I am and what I have done for you. Fight harder, My son, and your reward shall be great for you shall bring many to My Side.


Patrick:


Jesus, as I have said many times before, I can understand what You meant when You said the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

I want to do the things that You ask of me and I get a conviction in my mind and a willingness to fight but then, before I know it, I am away doing something that I want to do and have forgotten what You have asked of me.

I may not realise this at the time or even until the next day but it just seems that self takes over and so You are forgotten.


Jesus:


Ask your Angels to remind you. Unless you ask them they will not overstep the bounds of free will.

This is why I have said many times for you to use the spiritual Gifts that I have given to you. Very few of My children actually use the weapons that I have given to them to fight against the inspirations of lucifer.

I have told you this, My son, many times before, begin to do it and you will see a great change. I Love you, My little son, I Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.


Friday 25 January 2008


Patrick:


Jesus, would You like to speak?


Jesus:


Truth is what I seek from My children. Those who follow Me must live in the Truth in order to be My disciples.

Look at your lives, My children, and see, do you live in the Truth or not? Do not tell yourself lies or make excuses in order to cover up the things that are not of Me.

Begin the path of dying to self, offer much prayer and sacrifice for with this prayer and sacrifice I will be able to mould you into a true disciple of the Truth. I need My followers to show that they love Me by the way that they live their lives, always looking for an opportunity to spread My Love into the dark places of this world.

I am a God that has been forgotten and so, am full of much Sorrow for My lost children. Do not allow your brothers and sisters to be lost to the lies of lucifer.

Pray much and sacrifice for all whom you meet. Become My disciples and offer everything to Me in love showing that you care for all of My children. I Love you and I come in these Words as a beggar asking for your help. Will you help Me? I Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.


Sunday 27 January 2008


Jesus:


My children, come to this Heart that longs for you. I am a God that has been forgotten by His children, a God that is being forced to send His Justice to remove the evil that has been allowed in by your free will.

Soon, children, you shall be Warned for the last time and then My Justice shall smite mankind and you shall know the error of your ways. Come back before this time befalls you.

I have asked for your help, My children, in doing all these things. I have asked you to remove yourself from the world and its lies. I have asked you to come back to Me in prayer and sacrifice so that you could help your brothers and sisters but you have ignored My Pleas for help.

Very few of you are willing to sacrifice and so it falls to a few. Open your hearts and minds and see the truth of your lives and begin to follow Me in Truth.

Stop the lies, My children, stop telling yourselves that you follow Me when you do not for they are only the inspirations of lucifer in order to deceive you. I Love you and I call you back to the Truth. Come follow Me, I Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.


Tuesday 29 January 2008


Patrick:


Jesus, I have been reading the words of Lucia of Fatima and in it cardinal Ratzinger and cardinal Sodano have said that the third part of this secret Your Mother gave at
Fatima has already been fulfilled. Is this true?


Jesus:


My Mother’s secret has not been fully revealed and no, it has not been fulfilled. Look around you and see the Truth. Russia has spread the error of her ways, communism is a part of every day life now; My Church is crumbling, it is being destroyed from within, as was seen in the vision, this city is My Church.

1 My Church is full of deceivers, those who do not believe in Me and have distorted the Message of My Mother in order to fulfil their own evil plans.

Those cardinals are not of Me, they are wolves in sheep's clothing and will bring My Church to its knees. This I shall allow in order to cleanse My Body of the evil that has seeped into it.


The vision of My Mother told of the downfall of My Church and told of the evil deceivers which would be allowed in free will to draw many away from Me.

It Warned of those who would infiltrate My Church and seize the Throne of My Peter and put My John Paul to death. These parts have been fulfilled but many more are still to come.


Patrick:


Why did John Paul II not tell us of these things?


Jesus:


You already know the answer to this, My son, for he was held a prisoner within the city and his words were distorted by evil men so that My children would not know the truth of what was happening.

Soon all shall be revealed and My Mother’s Message will come to pass and be fulfilled. Nations will be annihilated and then there shall be Peace.

But you, My children, must pray and sacrifice much for these times so that many will be saved.


Patrick:


Jesus, You have not spoken of prayer and sacrifice much until I started reading about
Fatima, why?


Jesus:


It is simple, My son, you did not want to know. As I have taught you, I can only speak according to what you give Me in free will. It was I that gave you the book in order for you to see the Truth.


Patrick:


I was wondering where that book came from! It was sitting on the table in my room and I did not bring it in or put it there.

When I asked, no one seemed to know where it came from for no one goes into my room when I am not there. Thank You for the book, it really puts me to shame to see what mere children were doing for You and I do so little.


Jesus:


Always look to Me, My son, and see the truth of your life. Do not allow others to influence you but allow Me to bring you along the path of freedom that leads to My Kingdom.

The pleasures of this world mean nothing, offer all to Me in love for your home is in My Kingdom not in the world of man.

Truth is what I seek. Always speak the Words of Truth that I give to you. Even though this world shall go against you, do not be afraid for I am your Master, your Teacher, your Beloved and it matters little what this world thinks of you.


Patrick:


I know, Jesus, there are so many against us now especially since John Paul ll died. Everyone was willing to accept Your Messages about the next Pope but when the next Pope came into being, all but a few scattered, even Your Prophets, Visionaries and Seers scattered because of the fear of condemnation.

Jesus, you know me, I am afraid of everything, I fear condemnation. I fear what people think of me; everything seems to bother me but, at the same time, You know I have a great stubbornness in me and I will stand beside You no matter what this world comes against us with for I have learned you cannot please everyone, no matter what you do, there are always going to be people who are against you no matter what.

So the only person who needs to be pleased is You and we will stand with You no matter what. For, at the end of the day, we all must die and we all must stand in front of You and I do not want You to say to me, ‘why did you hide My Words from My people, why did you deny the Words that I gave to you?’

Our lives are so short and we have only a short time to prove our love for You.


Jesus:


My son, I Love you and I thank you for the words that you speak to Me. I know, My sons, you will stand firm with Me but I still have much to teach you.

Learn to pray and sacrifice more for this is your strength; go against yourselves and do the things that self does not want to do, no matter how small for sacrifice does not have to be great things it can be as simple as in not eating a slice of bread with your meal.

Learn from My Mother’s little servants, let them teach you the Ways of Love. Be with Me in Truth. I Love you.


1 This is the vision Patrick refers to in his conversation with Jesus:


Given below is the complete translation of the original Portuguese text of the third part of the secret of
Fatima, revealed to the three shepherd children at Cova da Iria, Fatima on July 13, 1917, and committed to paper by Sr. Lucia on January 3, 1944:


"I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.


"After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand;

flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from Her right Hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice:

'Penance, Penance, Penance!' And we saw in an immense Light that is God: 'something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it,' a Bishop dressed in white 'we had the impression that it was the Holy Father.'

Other bishops, priests, men and women religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way;

having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross, he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other bishops, priests, men and women religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions.

Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium (chalice) in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God."

Wednesday 30 January 2008


Jesus:


Continue reading the books that I have given to you and you may ask the questions that you desire.


Patrick:


Jesus, what is sin in reality?


Jesus:


Sin is a disobedience to your God, a going against that that is right and good. The more that you sin, the darker your soul becomes, the more difficult it is for My Light to penetrate. Souls that have fallen into mortal sin have blocked My Light from entering and so wander in darkness. These are easy prey for lucifer and his demons.

Sin brings about the destruction of the soul that is unrepentant and unwilling to return to the Light.

I have placed the knowledge of what is good and evil within man so that he will know how to follow Me and those that choose a path of sin know that what they do is wrong within their hearts although they may choose not to listen and try to justify their wrongdoing.

These souls are destined for hell if they remain unrepentant. The soul that chooses to follow what is good and right will shine among men and help to bring many to My Side.


The more that you fight against sin the closer and better understanding you will have of your God for sin clouds out this understanding.

Look around you, look at how many of My children choose the path of sin and yet say they do nobody any harm, that they live good lives, for they refuse to see their sin. See how many of My children are in danger of losing their Life Eternal with Me. This is why I have sent out many Messengers to call My children back but very few are listening.

Rather, they read My Message and say, why should I listen, I do not harm anyone and I do not live a bad life and I do not sin. Pray much for these, your brothers and sisters, that they may come to see the Truth and turn away from the evil that they have chosen to follow in their blindness.


Truth is what I ask of My children and Truth is what the evil one tries to block so that My children become confused and will follow the life of deceit that lucifer desires.

So, so many go to hell each day for even in death they refuse to believe that they were wrong and rather than admit to their wrongdoing they throw themselves into the abyss of the eternal fire.


Patrick:


What do You mean they will not admit to their wrongdoing?


Jesus:


Look around you, My son, and see, do you not know many people that do not believe that they are in sin? If you go against My Laws, My Truth, then you are in sin.

Adultery, living together outside marriage, sex before marriage, homosexuality, fraud, lies, theft, covetness, greed, masturbation, lust, pride, taking the Name of your God in vain, I could go on but these are the most prevalent sins of your time, they are sins that are justified by the blindness of mankind.

Sins of the flesh account for the greatest number of those who go to hell for when they come before Me and see the Truth, still they try to justify their actions and become enraged with Me, their God, and blame Me for their sin and My unjust Laws.

Rather than admitting to their wrongdoing they run from Me in their anger and their despair, blaming Me for what I have done to them, calling out many insults and curses. Their anger against their God becomes so ferocious that they begin to burn from within and are consumed by the eternal fires of hell.

They are then lost to Me for all eternity; they are consumed by their anger against Me, never willing to see what they have done and never willing to cross the great divide. These children of Mine are lost to Me forever by their own doing.


Patrick:


What about this piece of Scripture then?


22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'


23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'


Matthew 7:22-23


Jesus:


It is the same, My son, there are many who say that they follow Me but they only follow Me for their own gain, not for love of Me or My children.

They blind themselves into thinking that they are doing My Will and go against the Laws that I have given to mankind through My Scriptures and My Church. When these souls come before Me they become angry saying that they were doing My Will, not willing to look at the evil lives they led, rather, they say that they gave up their lives for My sake and refuse to see the Truth and so become conceited as did My angel, lucifer, in his pride.

They will not accept their wrongdoing so I send them from Me.


A soul that is humble will always be willing to accept the truth and be willing to see the error of their ways but one that is consumed with sin is not willing to see, nor accept that they are wrong. Rather, they say that it is My Laws that are wrong, that I am an old-fashioned God, that I need to change with the times. Do you not often hear these things said from many of My children in order to justify their sin?


This is why I ask for much prayer and sacrifice so that My children may be given a Gift from you in your love for them, My children. See it as another chance given by your love for Me and them. I can do no more. I gave all that I had and was, so that all could have Eternal Life. I paid the ultimate Price which was My Sacrifice on
Calvary. I Died for all sinners and so Heaven is open to all My children if they are just willing to see what I have done and accept My Forgiveness then Heaven is always open. Does this answer your question, My son?


Patrick:


Oh, my God, there are so few of us who are willing to accept that we do anything wrong in these times. In many ways we are all guilty of this, we are always too willing to try to justify so many things within our own lives. Salacious talk, anger, greed, gossip, lies, etc., we do so many things that are against You and we are simply unwilling to look at ourselves in these times. We are in big trouble, aren’t we?


Jesus:


Yes, My son, My Justice will soon touch this earth for I must cleanse it from all the evil that runs freely through its streets. My Church is crumbling at an ever increasing rate. More and more of My priests are turning away from Me and accepting the lies that lucifer spreads throughout this world.


Patrick:


Jesus, the city that the children saw in the vision at
Fatima is Your Church crumbling at the hands of the deceivers who have infiltrated Your Church as You have already told us?


So is John Paul ll our Holy Father? Is he the Pope in the vision and was he put to death by the sins of the evil men who have infiltrated Your Church but they could not sway him from You and so he reached the foot of Your Cross and so entered Heaven but along the way he saw so many of his fellow bishops and priests and laity falling to the lies and deceit that it caused him great pain and anguish and he prayed earnestly for their souls that they would see the error of their ways and repent?


Are the soldiers the deceivers who have concealed themselves on the path to You within Your Church and are killing Your children spiritually with their lies and their deceit, with all this new age teaching and doctrine?


Is the Angel, the Angel of Your Justice who was sent to destroy this earth with fire but Your Mother came with Her Messages which is You and You, who is the Light, extinguished the fire to give us one last chance and we are not taking it?


I am sure there was much more to the vision and I’m sure there is a lot more that You have not given me the eyes to see for I know I am very unworthy.


Jesus:


Yes, My son, this is true but there was more to My Mother’s Message that has not been revealed but it can be read in the Messages that have been given to this world through My Prophets, Visionaries and Seers. This earth has little time left to turn away from its evil ways. This time My Angels shall strike this earth with war, famine and pestilence and the gates of the abyss shall be open and demons shall walk freely to claim their own, those that would not listen.


Patrick:


So, Jesus, the two cardinals, Sodano and Ratzinger, that released the third secret told us all in their interpretation that the third secret was talking about the past and it had all been fulfilled and there was nothing to worry about but it is actually talking about how we are in the middle of it and living through it.1 So, Jesus, it is not hard to guess what the rest of the secret is that they did not reveal and that has to do with the Church being infiltrated and so the great apostasy has begun.


Oh, my God, have Mercy on us poor sinners. Send Your Angels to give us the strength to always stand firm by Your Side. My God, my God, have Mercy on us poor sinners, light a path so that we may be strong, no matter what comes before us. My greatest desire, my dear Jesus, is that when I stand before You that You will be proud of my faith in You. Oh, my Jesus, pray for us.


Jesus:


Yes, My son, Scripture is being fulfilled and soon the blood of the martyrs shall be poured out on mankind and then all shall realise that they have been deceived but it shall be too late for many for they are consumed in their own sin. This is why I send out many urgent Words to My children to repent of their evil ways and come follow Me.


Rise up, My little Remnant, and do battle for your victory is at hand. My true Church still lives on and the gates of hell shall never overcome it. It shall rise from the ashes like the bird of legend2 and shine its light to the four corners of this earth and all evil shall be destroyed in its radiance. Remember, mankind, you are but dust and unto dust you shall return, your lives are but a heartbeat in the annals of time, use them wisely and gain your place in My Kingdom. I Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.


1 The following is one paragraph of an article entitled "CARDINAL RATZINGER: PENANCE IS THE KEY TO THE "SECRET."" The full article is found at http://www.marianla nd.com/thirdsec- ratzinger. html


"What is the meaning of the 'secret' of
Fatima as a whole (in its three parts)?" asks the Cardinal: "First of all we must affirm with Cardinal Sodano: '...the events to which the third part of the 'secret' of Fatima refers now seem part of the past.' Insofar as individual events are described, they belong to the past. Those who expected exciting apocalyptic revelations about the end of the world or the future course of history are bound to be disappointed. Fatima does not satisfy our curiosity in this way, just as Christian faith in general cannot be reduced to an object of mere curiosity. What remains was already evident when we began our reflections on the text of the 'secret': the exhortation to prayer as the path of 'salvation for souls' and, likewise, the summons to penance and conversion.

Thursday 31 January 2008


Jesus:


My children, pray, pray much for My priests and religious for many are falling away from Me in these times. Look to My Most Sacred Heart for your consolation, offer much prayer and sacrifice for these sons of Mine that they will lead My people in Truth. There is a great deception, a lie, that dominates the life of My Church and My sons and My children are falling headlong into this trap of lucifer. I tell you, My children, My Scriptures are Truth and they cannot be changed, they are of the history of mankind’s spiritual life with their God. Can you change history, My children? No, neither can you change My Scriptures! These modern day thinkers change My Scriptures and My Laws, they are deceived by lucifer in their blindness and greed for power and knowledge. Come away from these false teachings and believe the Words that I have already given. These are the Words that I built My Church upon yet you destroy My Words and so destroy My Church. Look at these Words of Scripture, you say in your arrogance that the great cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah did not exist. Look, by your words you call your God a liar!


23 If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in
Sodom, it would have remained to this day.
 

24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the Day of Judgment than for you."


25 At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.


26 Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.


Matthew 11:23-26


It is you, learned and wise, who have allowed yourselves to be deceived in your false wisdom. I have told you to think as little children. A little child will simply believe in what its parents tells it. It will not question the reality or history of the knowledge, it will simply believe. I tell you the truth, the Words of My Scripture are Truth, I created this earth in seven days and I created man and woman and they were called Adam and Eve, they were the first and remain so. Come away from your foolish knowledge and return to Me, your God. Have faith in My Words and believe and the path to My Kingdom will open to you. My priests, My beloved sons, turn away from the false doctrines and come follow Me, teach My flock the true knowledge that I have given to you through My Scriptures and your hearts. Believe, believe in your God. I, your Jesus, Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

Saint Brigid’s Day


Patrick:


Jesus, do You wish to speak?


Jesus:


I Love you, My servant, and I thank you for taking My Words to the world. Soon,
Slovenia – that little jewel – will be another stepping stone across the mire that is Europe. My children, do not be blind, see at last what is happening all around you. I Love you and I need your hands, your feet, your lips. I Am is calling you. I Am is asking you to see what is happening all around you. I Am is asking you to see what I am saying. I Am is asking you to see the truth.


I have been calling you for many of your years now and still you are caught up in the glitter that the world is showing you. How do you not see the truth? How do you not see that? You can see what you want but you cannot see the danger that you are in.


I Love you and I need your help. What will it gain you to have the whole world? You will only find self and self will destroy you as lucifer wishes. Do not be blind.


Soon I will ask you to help Me to set up another House so that My Heart can further itself into the enemy’s lair. Soon I will call all of you to go. Soon I will call upon your faith and you will have the choice to stay with the world or come with Me. What will your choice be?

 

Sunday 3 February 2008


Jesus:


My children, come to this Heart that Loves you, do not desert Me in this My time of need. So many of My children deny Me their love in favour of this world. So many of My children, are not willing to see the sin in their lives. I have given all so that you could have Eternal Life but you are not willing to accept what I have done for you.


Look around you, what can this world offer you? It is full of empty promises, promises that will only bring you eternal death. I offer you Life, children, Life in My Father’s Kingdom. Are you willing to accept it? Are you willing to turn away from your sin? Are you willing to become a follower of Mine? If so, then prove it to Me by the way that you live your lives. Turn away from your sin and come follow Me. Do not look to the things of this world for they are but dust and onto dust they shall return.


I Love you, My children, and I am asking for your help to bring many to My Side. Come, I await your answer. I, your Jesus, Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

Patrick:


Jesus, it is so hard to overcome sin. For myself, I look at my sins and think to myself I am going to overcome them but, before I know it, I am right back there where I do not want to be. We seem to do the things that we don’t want to do without realising that we’re doing them but, as soon as we have committed a sin, then we realise right away.


Jesus:


You must realise that you are in a spiritual battle. The evil one and his minions are always waiting for an opportunity in order to draw you into sin. When they see the opportunity they seize it; they fill your mind with inspirations and desires. At this point, you must decide in free will whether to fight or give in.


If you give in, it is they who show you your sin and fill you full of guilt in order to weaken you, so that they can get you to sin again; the more that you give them, the weaker you become and so they can draw you ever deeper into the darkness of sin and away from Me. This is why I have given you and My children many Graces in order to overcome sin.


Your Guardian Angels are always with you, ready to fight at your command but you must ask for their help for they will not overstep the bounds of free will. They will be inspiring you not to give in to sin but it is up to you whether you accept their inspirations in free will. The more that you fight against sin, the stronger you will become and the less the spirits will be able to taunt you.


When you begin walking upon this path of Mine the evil one will try to dissuade you from it so you must battle against them with My Truth. I have given all the Graces that you need to overcome him. Do not doubt that I am with you for I have told you, My children, that I would not leave you orphans. Call out to Me in your times of need and I will hear your calls. Trust in Me, I Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

 

Monday 11 February 2008


Jesus:


My children, I Love you. Come listen to the calls of this Heart as I cry out in Agony for the loss of so many of My children. My children are being lost to the flames of hell at an ever increasing rate. I say, rise up, My little Army, and do battle against the lies, the ploys of lucifer.


Do not sit back any longer in complacency and fear for there is little time left. I need you to let My people know that I am Alive and that I Love My people. Be My messengers; be My Hands, My Feet and My Lips and show this world by your faith in Me that I am Alive.


Too long have you sat back in your complacency and been afraid to show that you are My followers. Be humble, loving servants of Mine and reject no one that I send to you. Be true followers of your God! I Love you, My children, and I await your response. I Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

 

Tuesday 12 February 2008


Jesus:


My sons and My children, I Love you. Come listen to My calls for the time draws near and you still are not prepared. Be prepared, My children, for soon My Houses will blossom and begin to produce much fruit. I have prepared for this from the beginning of time; the Revolution is about to begin and you must be at its front.


I have told you these things so that you can begin to see My Plans for I call you My friends and I begin to reveal the future to you. My children, enough time has been wasted; muster yourselves and see the Work that is needed to be done and do it for Me. Do not complain of the Work but give it freely as a sacrifice to Me, to bring those souls that are most in need to Me. I Love you, My little ones, and I am depending upon you and your obedience to Me. I Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.


Wednesday 13 February 2008


Jesus:


Children, see these Words of Mine and act upon them. Do not delay any longer! Do you not realise the danger that you are in? Come, My children, the deceiver is at work in this world and you are living in a great deception; a deception controlled by the men of power in this world who have given their souls over to lucifer.


Come to Me so that I may take you out of this world and its ways. You do not need the wealth of this world to survive, you do not need the big houses, cars, holidays, fancy goods and fancy foods; they are all but the glitter of this world in order to entice you away from Me.


Look around you and see, everyone is consumed by the need for more and more material wealth driven on by the evil box which you call a television. Do not believe the lies that it spreads for it is a false prophet prophesying against Me, your God. It tells you that sin is good and there is nothing wrong, that I am a dead God, that My Scriptures are made up stories; they dissolve Me in your sight and make Me nothing.


Wake up and see the truth of what is happening around you and come back to Me, your God. I Love you, My little ones, and I ask you to take on My Words; do not leave them to gather dust for they are your lifeline. I Love you, I Love you, I Love you. Come and listen to Me, your God.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.


Thursday 14 February 2008


Patrick:


Jesus, this is so clear to be seen in the world that we live in today. Everyone is so caught up in work and money. No matter who we talk to today, all they talk about is material wealth and no one is happy for everyone is looking for more of whatever they desire. Now, no one has any time for You, it is work, work, work and, if we mention Your Name, Jesus, You are considered a religious nutter, a lunatic. It seems as though everyone is so afraid of You.


Jesus:


This is the great deceit that I talk about. lucifer has placed a false wisdom into this world through the scholars and the scientists in order to disprove My Existence. This wisdom is mingled with much lies and deceit in order to deceive everyone who reads or listens to it.


Patrick:


So what do we do, Jesus?


Jesus:


As I have said, My son, move away from the things of this world, they are not necessary. Lead a simple life that allows you to spend time with Me. Always remember that the things of this world are but dust and unto dust they shall return. All that is important in this world is your life with Me in preparation for your Life Eternal. In doing this, you shall bring many of your brothers and sisters to My Side and a Revolution of Love will begin once again.


Too long have My children sat in complacency, unwilling to do My Work because all are so worried what this world will think of them.


Remember, it is the evil one who controls through fear and everyone is caught up in fear for this is the weapon that he is using against My followers in order to keep them away from Me and My Work. I say, rise up, My little Army, and do battle with the evil one. Go out into the streets and love; do not be afraid to show this world that I am Alive in the way that you live your life. I am depending upon you, My children, who read these Words. Go now and do My Will. I, your Jesus, Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

 

Friday 15 February 2008


Jesus:


My Love is given for you, My children. I gave all so that you could have Eternal Life with Me in My Father’s Kingdom. Do likewise for your brothers and sisters; pray and sacrifice much so that they will come to know Me. The more that you give of yourself, the more Graces you shall get for those who are truly in need.


Love, children, love all that you meet; see Me in each person and then you shall not be judged but be a true follower of Jesus, the Son of the Living God. I did all to the Glory of My Father. I ask that you do all for My Glory so that My Father may be Glorified through Me. We are One and the same in all things; We Love and desire that you be with Us in the
Kingdom of Heaven. You are Our children and We Love you with an Everlasting Love. Do not desert Us. We call out through many voices in this world in order for you to see and understand the danger that you are in, in this time of battle.


Come, My little ones, and hear the Voice that calls out to you, calling you into this safety of the Sheepfold. I Love you, My children, I Love you. Come and listen to My Voice. I Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

 

Saturday 16 February 2008


Patrick:


My Jesus, I love You. Sometimes You seem so far away from me. It seems that the Work takes over and You get lost. But, somehow I know that You are always there – even if I can’t feel You.


Jesus:


My servant, I am always with you, I never leave you. Sometimes I seem far away because the Work that you do for Me is more important than feeling My Presence with you. I never leave you in these times, I am always with you. I am your Lord; I am your Master as always. You are My servant and I am with you. Never doubt.


The world turns without Me, My servant. The world knows not that it is without Me. Be with Me always for many times I am sad at the blindness of My children. They run ahead of Me, not waiting for My Guidance and they run headlong into the evil of this world.


I must move on, My servant, I must set in place the Flames of My Love in this world before the appointed time. There is so much Work to be done within this world and so few to do it. The harvest is indeed great and the labourers are so few; so few to love Me and to gather My children. They are like the leaves that fall from the trees in Autumn; so, so many are lost. I need My workers in My Vineyard: so few believe in My Mission for these times because the world calls so loudly.


My Words are caught on the wind of self and are blown away. Where are you, My children? I have great need of you.

 

Message from Mary via Dominique Biot of France - Jan 16, 2008

 

Dominique Biot, whom Jesus mentions in Henri's messages, is Henri's male travelling-companio n in this new mission. Both have been receiving messages from Heaven for several years; and in Dec. 2007 Henri received his first public message while a poem-message of Dominique's was first sent out via internet on January 10th. Jesus told Dominique that from time to time, He will inspire him to draw from his Poem-Messages of the past.

 
The French messages via Henri and Dominique are presently being translated to English and will soon be available in other languages.  Several people from different countries are diffusing these messages around the world via their own list and already two public messengers, having a spiritual director, have pronounced themselves in favor of the messages, as well as four priests: two from Canada, one from France and one from Africa; there is spiritual guidance as well as approval of the messages.  - Rita Doucet
 
 
 
NEW MESSENGER FROM
FRANCE
(Translated from French)

 
 
MESSAGE FROM MOTHER MARY
via Dominique Biot of
France

 
January 16, 2008
 

Jesus, Mary, I love you, save souls!

 
Mother Mary, upon awakening this morning, you urge me to write... Forgive me for not yet being sufficiently aware of the urgency of the situation. Jesus, Mary, I love you, save souls!
 
 
MOTHER MARY:

 
My little one, you know that I am the mother of the strayed, the isolated, of those who suffer and that I take them to my Son as I've done for you. Do not be afraid and write:

 
I am the Mother of humanity, confided to me by my Son on the Cross, and I come so often now that my sacred presence has become ordinariness for many... Me, mother of tenderness, I bring you to Jesus by showering you with graces; the graces that you will particularly need in the times approaching!

 
Inasmuch as they are given profusely now -- like a powerful fontain -- to that extent you will soon have to go retrieve them on the socle (base) of your faith built over the years...

 
Soon, I will no longer appear in order that my children become Simons of Cyrene; shortly the Lord's "little remnant" will take over. Are you ready? It is no longer the time for idle chatter!

 
My little children, you will be tested in pure faith, in a world where all will seem lost, where christians will be regarded as fools, as already in certain countries. Only the will will sustain you -- this will nourished entirely in a union with your Savior, intense and vivifying to do His Will!

 
Do not be afraid, fill your "reservoir" with graces, socle (base) on which you will rely on -- precious pearls of the Love of God...
 

Live in LOVE, believe in LOVE and when hate, fear and darkness seem the victor, you will be protected. Believe without yielding for whoever gives up in these times risks not to rise again! Heaven will surround you like never before, for you will be crushed like my Son at Gethsemane; many souls will depend on you... Go, soldiers of the Cross and daughters of prayer!
 

You will then nourish yourselves from the souvenirs relating the miracles of your life -- Divine Providence -- where sheepishly you confessed: "Thank you, God; You answered me when I no longer believed!" Thank the Lord beforehand and He will renew His miracles in His time. Do penance by accepting the events and by serving your brothers and God's time will be more in accordance with yours!

 
You will learn to recognize those who, guided by the Holy Spirit, will guide you. Obey them without fear so as not to divide yourselves by vain quibbling and edify yourselves with the Book of Exodus in the Holy Bible.
 

Believe, My little ones, despite appearances and you will be saved, contributing in saving many more! With God, you will be victor! Children of my affection, I have confidence in you.
 

Console the Heart of my Son, pray in His Spirit and glorify the Father!

 
I love you!

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 27 - Ask then, for all that you need

 

Medjugorge Message of February

 

Message of February 25, 2007

"Dear children! Open your heart to God's mercy in this Lenten time. The Heavenly Father desires to deliver each of you from the slavery of sin. Therefore, little children, make good use of this time and through meeting with God in confession, leave sin and decide for holiness. Do this out of love for Jesus, who redeemed you all with His blood, that you may be happy and in peace. Do not forget, little children: your freedom is your weakness, therefore follow my messages with seriousness. Thank you for having responded to my call."

 

Message of February 25, 2006

"Dear children! In this Lenten time of grace, I call you to open your hearts to the gifts that God desires to give you. Do not be closed, but with prayer and renunciation say `yes' to God and He will give to you in abundance. As in springtime the earth opens to the seed and yields a hundredfold, so also your heavenly Father will give to you in abundance. I am with you and love you, little children, with a tender love. Thank you for having responded to my call."

 

"Our Lady of the Eucharistic Heart, I beg you to give Jesus to souls!"

 

"This morning, at the end of my meditation, I was suddenly given to understand clearly that my duty now, and my task in eternity, until the end of the world, is and will be, through the Blessed Virgin, to send forth rays from the Heart of Jesus on all souls."  (Bl. Dina Belanger)

 

"No invocation responds better to the immense desire of my Eucharistic Heart to reign in souls than: Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, may your kingdom come through the immaculate Heart of Mary." (Words of Jesus to Bl. Dina Belanger)

 

Mother Teresa  -

 

Whatever you do, even if you help somebody cross the road, you do it to Jesus.

Even if you give somebody a glass of water, you do it to Jesus.

Such a simple little teaching, but it is so important.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

 

Meanwhile don't be afflicted to the point of losing your interior peace. Pray with perseverance, trust, and a serene and calm mind.

 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

 

Only God can promise and provide perfect bliss!

 

"In all human love it must be realized that every man promises a woman, and every woman promises a man, that which only God alone can give, namely, perfect happiness. One of the reasons why so many marriages are shipwrecked is because as the young couple leave the altar, they fail to realize that human feelings tire and that the enthusiasm of the honeymoon is not the same as the more solid happiness of enduring human love."

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.

 

Feb 27 -  ASK THEN, FOR ALL THAT YOU NEED

 

The following message was given to Marija while she was in America in Nov.1988 :

 

"I invite you to pray and to give yourselves completely to God. I will give you strength and help you whenever you are in need; ask then, for all that you need, for I will intercede for you in God's presence. " (Special Message November 23,1988).

 

While trusting Our Lady to give us all that we need, we will find at the same time that our trust in God will grow ever stronger :

 

The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,

 

A stronghold in times of trouble.

 

And those who know

 

your name put their trust in you,

 

For you, O Lord,

 

have not forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9

 

Reflection :

 

The Lord never forsakes those who seek and trust him; nor can Our Lady, who is forever faithful as her Son. Although loss of suffering may wound us deeply, our God is as close as a whispered prayer. We can trust him to heal us.

 

This is the spirit of trust that John Cardinal Newman expressed in the following prayer :

 

"God created me to do him some definite service; he has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. I have my mission—I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next.

 

I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good. I shall do his work. I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place while not intending it—if I do but keep his commandments.

 

Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve him; if I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what he is about. He may take away my friends, he may throw me among strangers, he may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my

 

future from me—still he knows what he is about. Therefore I will trust him.

 

Applications :

 

Simply reflect on Cardinal Newman's prayer once more today. You may wish to offer it especially in anxious or troubled times.

Message from Our Lady of Emmitsburg. Feb.24,2008

 

 

Public Message

 

Our Lady of Emmitsburg

 

To the World

 

through Gianna Sullivan

 

February 24, 2008

 

 

Little children, praised be Jesus!

 

Let it be known that the greatest gift you can give to God the Father is to love

my Son with all your heart. He loves you. He draws you to Himself; and He

desires you to be filled, to be consumed and to be inebriated by His Love. He

wants you to be all of Him.

 

 

Little ones, you have been given a great gift of faith. It is so important,

especially now, to live your faith and to trust Jesus with all your heart---not

just in words, but in reality. Do you really believe and trust Him in all the

circumstances in your life? When things go well you seem happy; but at the

least breakdown, you crash, panic and scream for help.

 

 

You have within you the Holy Spirit! Trust Him. Surrender daily in every

circumstance. Know God?s Hand is upon you; and if you are consumed by His Love,

you would only experience the depth and breadth of Peace.

 

Even in the midst of trials, you can be free, filled with joy, and at peace.

This is the greatest gift of your mercy and love that you can give to my Son

during this Lenten Season. Trust, and live the gift of your faith. It is not

in signs; it is not in visions; it is living in His Truth.

 

I bless you. I take all your petitions to my most Sorrowful and Immaculate

Heart, and I lay them at the Foot of my Son?s Cross.

 

Be children of light and love. Anything is possible with God!

 

Do you believe?

 

 

 

Reflection by Fr. John B. Wang

 

In this message, our Heavenly Mother again talks about the preciousness of love

and faith. She asks us to fill our hearts with Jesus? love and offer that love

to God the Father. This would be the greatest gift we can offer to Heaven, for

love reigns supreme and surpasses anything and everything.

 

Faith is another invaluable gift, which not only enables us to believe the

revealed truths, but also to trust in God?s Divine Providence. This trust,

absolute and total, unconditional and unshakeable, brings us freedom, peace and

joy under all circumstances, auspicious or inauspicious, benign or noxious. We

must, therefore, pray for and live in these two supernatural virtues.

 

Message to J.N.S.R. Jan.6,2008

 

He who is Risen, your King JESUS Christ

 

The Risen One speaks to you

 

*******

                                                                       January 6, 2008

 

JESUS:  It is on My Holy Resurrection that I founded My Holy Church.  It is Universal and alive, for you are all Living beings, in the Image of God.

 

            It is the Cathedral of the Eternal Light and the Purificator.  It is the Knowledge of the Eternal Kingdom of God.  My Church, My real Church has no walls and is all around Me, with Lights and melodious sounds unknown to men.  It is so high and wide that it really extends on all sides to infinity.  It has no borders.  In the invisible, it radiates, opening its doors, and all My called children may come in.

 

Indeed, they are always within Me,

 

for My Holy Church,  it is Myself,

 

your Lord JESUS Christ,

 

with His Most Holy Cross of Love,

 

the necessary Key to come in.

 

            I wanted to entrust   My great Key,  My Holy Cross of Love that reminds you by its 738 meters, of Golgotha, to the Church in France, chosen by My Father and your Father, and I made it the  manager of My Cross.  That Cross with the blessing of God and of His Bishop, would have become the Great Cross and the Key to the Universal Pardon from God.  This Cross, it is the Commitment of God who, seeing the Repentance of the World, opens His Arms to all sinners of the converted world.

 

            In each country, its government is  a manager  that must deliver his management to the next, and this, to the last one who is called and who will have to hand over to Me all the lands, the goods and the authority, for  EVERYTHING  must be given back to God.  On the Earth, everything is short-lived, everything must return to God, all must come back to God.

 

            But, with this decadence caused by Power and Money, envy, jealousy and hatred, very few men have used the  Talents  I had entrusted to them so they would bear fruit.

 

            I will not receive even the Talents I gave them.  I will only find at the end of their mandate, useless servants, squanderers, greedy and determined to keep for themselves alone, God's Goods   and even the large surplus meant to be distributed among the poorest, as I always recommended them to do.

 

            Your disobedience affected even the Church upon the Earth:  it hid within itself the request of the Great Priest par excellence, JESUS Christ.  The very One who gave it His Life and to whom He wanted to entrust  His Key, His Cross,  so as to open, through the Church on the Earth,  the Door to Heaven, to all the Nations  that would have come there, drawn by the Master of the Harvest, in order to deposit the good seed freed from the weed.

 

            For the Cross of World Repentance is also the Cross of the Forgiveness of God.  Alas,  the time still left to you will run out.  The sand-glass that must give you the Sign is before your eyes.    Your faith in My Holy Word is dying and yet, I still offer you My Holy Hand:

 

your Prayers and your offerings of Masses for World Repentance,

 

I am waiting for them!

 

Your Lord JESUS Christ.

 

Amen. †

First Wednesdays begin March 5th

 

 

Wednesday, March 5, 2008 is the first of the five First Wednesdays in honor of

the Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph.

 

 

 

In her message on April 24, 2005 Our Lady first asked us to have a devotion to

St. Joseph.

 

?St. Joseph, who accompanied me, I desire you to have a great devotion

to him and love for him and his most chaste heart. He is the foster father of

Jesus, my beloved spouse, and towards the end, when he departed this life, his

soul became without sin, and during the Resurrection, he accompanied my Son

bodily into Heaven. He is the Saint of All Saints because of what he has worked

on earth, living chastely, living in poverty, and loving God and Jesus above his

own self. He is a model of fathers and model of spouses. I desire you all to

imitate his virtues. Pray to him. He hears your prayers and will grace you

with many graces. Ask him to be chaste in heart, and he will help you. (Our

Lady is smiling, she says,) In no way does devotion to St. Joseph detract from

devotion to me or to Jesus. In fact, it leads you to me and to Jesus in a more

intimate way. Go to him, for he hears your prayers.?

 

 

 

In his message of September 13, 2005, St. Joseph said,

 

?My Son Jesus and the Holy Blessed Virgin Mary desire that there be

devotion

 

made to my Most Chaste Heart. Let the world know that Jesus, God the Father,

the Holy Spirit, and the Blessed Mother no longer desire this devotion to remain

hidden. Let all people receive and make the First Wednesdays devotions devoted

to my Most Chaste Heart. They will receive purity in abundance, and graces will

abide for fathers and all people if they will venerate this chosen, chaste heart

of mine. It is through this heart that was there for the mother and there for

the Son, I come to ask you to recite the five Joyful Mysteries on Wednesdays and

to spend time meditating upon my joys and sorrows, for I was there. The first

five Wednesdays are to be made and are to be venerated beginning in March. Let

this be known, that I desire this holy devotion to be practiced.

 

 

 

Therefore, you shall make and do four ?first devotions.? 1) the First Mondays

of God the Father, 2) the first Wednesdays of the month, dedicated to my Most

Chaste Heart, 3) the First Fridays dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and

4) the First Saturdays devoted to the Immaculate Heart of your mother. By these

four hearts, we shall save the world.

 

 

 

I desire this message be made known to the world, and I am appearing publicly so

that it may be made known, for too long have I appeared to other people and had

this devotion kept silent. Now it is time. Fathers need a strong role model

they can look up to, and they need to know that they can count on me. Graces

will abide through this heart for all fathers, which are the head of the

household, and therefore to all families.?

Prophecy Meditations II
Topic: Prophecy Meditation
Message to J.N.S.R. Jan.5,2008

I called Jean and it was JESUS who came!

                                                                                                                   January 5, 2008
 
JNSR:  You are Jean, the Messenger of Light, and, like each one of you, you can multiply yourself and appear or speak with whoever you have permission to contact.  Today, knowing you are my younger brother, I am asking God to allow you to come to me.  Ask Him if you can communicate with me so as to tell me what I must reveal to all our brothers still on Earth.  Do you know if our Lord JESUS Christ will come on this Earth soon enough and what will He do?  When can He come?
 
JEAN:  Why would you want to know?
 
JNSR:  Because I want to tell our brothers to be ready.  Jean, will you tell me the best way to organize this preparation?
 
JEAN:  I am speaking to you but know that Heaven is also with me.
 
JNSR:  So God allows this?
 
JEAN:  Heaven is all those who are with JESUS, and JESUS is included.
 
JNSR:  I thank you and I thank God.
 
JEAN:  That is right.  He hears you.  He is here!
 
JESUS:  I said that I am coming and so I will.  The Earth is covered in a slumber that keeps asleep only the souls, as bodily agitation is at the peak of the infraction leading to your massive destruction from everywhere.
 
            Invoke all the souls that, today, I put in contact with your Peace petitions.  Those souls are all warned.  Call them to unite in your Prayers.  All the souls in Heaven of Glory, all the suffering souls in Holy Purgatory are asking for nothing more than to help you, so that you may be healed before God: helping you, brings them much Joy.
 
            My child, do not forget that it was Jean that you called, and since you hear Me, it is that Jean  is in Me.  What a surprise!  No, you know it, you say it, but you cannot imagine this joy that we have, seeing you amazed:  My souls in Heaven are all in Me and I in them.  How happy are My beloved souls as they watch you write about My Wonders!
 
            Yes, we continue to speak to you.  The Lord is one with all His beloved souls in Heaven.  I will leave momentarily My Heaven of Glory to come nearer to you, once more.  But, this must be done at one condition, as you know:  Prepare the Way of the Lord.  There are still many ways to convert that number  I wish to have, upon My Arrival to greet Me.  It is especially those I hope to see: they are not yet convinced  that they are called.  But I will point them to you and they are the ones I hope to see on My arrival.
 
            They will be the first to greet Me.  They are still prisoners of their conventions and proclaim themselves  conscious of keeping Me away  because of their rank that is placing them above you all, My little children of Love.
 
            Look, they will come to Me, I tell you, but it will be thanks to  your Love for Me  doing My Holy Will.  All My friends on Earth will understand that you have the Will of God and, through you, they will listen to Me.
 
            There is but one date  to keep in mind in order to inform your brothers.
 
JNSR:  Which one is it Lord?  Or else, give us a point of reference?
 
JESUS:  It is the great Saint of San Giovanni Rotondo, Padre Pio, who will very soon, give it to you;  believe Me, My child.  He will be like John the Baptist.  He will be just before you, he will be the one who will open the door between Heaven and Earth.  So, as soon as he says:  " Come Lord JESUS",  I will already be on the other side of that Door,  facing you.
 
            My child, all those who refused My Cross will be the first ones to glorify It, for they will be the first to see Me.  Have you understood?   Even behind the crowd, I will see you.
 
Your JESUS of Love

with Jean, My Messenger.

Next Promised Midnight Apparition
March 29-30, 2008
(Be Here at 11:00 p.m Saturday, March 29, 2008
and 3:00 p.m. Sunday, March 30, 2008)
 
Feast of Divine Mercy Sunday
 
I have come to tell you that I will celebrate the Feast of My Divine Mercy at this Site by appearing to you at midnight dawning on this Feast in the Field of the United Hearts.
 
As a special gift of My Mercy, I will release from Purgatory the relatives of those in attendance who have been imprisoned for the crimes of detraction, calumny and defaming the reputation of others. They repented and sought forgiveness before their death, but they never made reparation for their sins; nor did they receive in their lifetime any indulgence such as the one given on the Feast of My Mercy to those who fulfill the requirements.
 
There are many who have been detained years even centuries in reparation for these sins. But this day of My Perfect Mercy will effect their release.   (Jesus, January 9, 2008)
 
We will gather to pray at the United Hearts Shrine:
Saturday March 29, 2008 at 11:00 p.m.

MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN
SHARON FITZPATRICK LOCUTIONIST


SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2008


MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,

I GREET YOU THIS DAY IN A MOST SPECIAL WAY. IT IS THE DAY OF THE LORD AND
YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN A REST FROM WIND AND EXTREME COLD. YET I SAY TO YOU
OPEN YOURSELVES TO EVEN MORE -- LET THE HOLY SPIRIT WORK IN AND THROUGH YOU.
YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN FOR UNITY -- A UNITY THAT REMAINS STRONG DESPITE YOUR
NUMBERS. YOU WHO PERSEVERE HOLD THE TRUTH AND WITHIN YOU, YOU MUST CARRY
IT. IT IS A HEAVY RESPONSIBILITY SINCE THE WORLD FIGHTS DESPERATELY TO
DESTROY THE TRUTHS OF JESUS CHRIST. LOOK AT HOW THE WORLD PULLS AT YOU,
DESPERATELY TRYING TO DISTRACT YOU, MAKING YOU FEEL GUILTY, CAUSING YOU TO
BLAME YOUR WEARINESS ON THE REQUESTS OF THIS MOTHER. TAKE A DEEP LOOK,
DISCOVER THE WISDOM OF GOD TO HAVE FORMED THIS UNITY THROUGH MY OWN
IMMACULATE HEART. BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DO NOT FIND THE PERSISTENCE OF THE
WORLD ATTRACTIVE, FOR SOME HAVE ALREADY GIVEN IN. BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DO
NOT GRUMBLE AT GOD'S WILL. IT IS HE WHO DECIDES THE COURSE OF HIS CHOSEN
ONES. LISTEN CAREFULLY TO YOUR GOSPELS, LET THE GRACE AVAILABLE TO YOU,
OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE WISDOM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

I DESIRE THAT YOU SPEND SOME TIME IN THE QUIET OF YOUR HEARTS, REMEMBERING
THE GIFTS AND BLESSINGS GIVEN ONLY TO YOU. RECALL HOW MANY TIMES YOU ASKED
THAT I GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO ENTITLE YOU TO COME INTO TRUE BELIEF OF MY
PRESENCE HERE AND IN YOUR HEARTS. TAKE IN THESE PETALS FROM HEAVEN AND PRAY
FOR UNDERSTANDING -- IT WILL BE YOURS. YOU MUST MY CHILDREN, BE READY --
FIRMLY PLANTED IN THE TRUTH, STRONG IN YOUR COMMITMENT, AND DEFIANT OF THE
WORLD. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO STAND WITHOUT GUILT NEXT TO JESUS, WHO YOU HAVE
CHOSEN OVER ALL ELSE. BE CONTENT, WHAT YOU ARE ASKED TO DO AND ENDURE IS
LITTLE AND PALES NEXT TO THE MAGNIFICENCE THAT AWAITS YOU. BEING ABLE TO
RETURN JESUS' SMILE WOULD BE GRAND ENOUGH, BUT THAT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF
WHAT IS TO COME, WHAT AWAITS YOU.

USE THESE DAYS OF LENT TO PROSPER IN THE WAYS OF GOD. LET EACH DAY BE FOR
YOU A TOKEN GIVEN TO GOD THAT HE WILL CONTINUE TO FIND FAVOR WITH YOU.

AND NOW MY LOVES I GIVE MY BLESSING. LET THE BLESSING OF CHRIST BE DRAWN
FROM THE HEARTS OF THE PRIESTS AND MAY YOU CONSIDER ALL AND THEN GIVE PRAISE
AND GRATITUDE TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD NOW AND FOREVER.

Idea inspired by Ecclesia de Eucharistia to help celebrate the Year of the Eucharist:
"Do this in remembrance of me"(1 Cor 11:24-25).  "The Second Vatican Council teaches that the celebration of the Eucharist is at the centre of the process of the Church's growth" (Art. 21).  Distribute pamphlets, prayer cards and other materials on the Holy Eucharist and Adoration in your parish and community.  Invite others to help you in this endeavor.  (For more ideas visit the Year of the Eucharist section of our website at www.ACFP2000. com)

"Behold this Heart which so much loved men, that it spared nothing, even to
exhaust Itself, in order to give them testimony of Its love...," (words of
Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque when He appeared to her before the
Blessed Sacrament).  As Jesus spoke, flames burst from His Heart symbolizing
His burning love for us and His great desire that we love Him.  Jesus
promised to extend great love and mercy to those who adore and honor Him in
the Holy Eucharist!  (From our June 2002 "Could You Not Watch One Hour With
Me?" newsletter.  The entire text may be viewed at the Newsletters section of
our website at www.ACFP2000. com

Mother Teresa  -

His love for us led Christ to Gethsemane and to Calvary.

Meditations by Padre Pio -
As regards what you tell me you hear when meditating, you can be sure that the deceit is diabolic. Therefore, be careful and vigilant. Never fail to meditate as a result of this, otherwise you can be sure that you will be beaten later on in everything.

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Only God can promise and provide perfect bliss!

"In all human love it must be realized that every man promises a woman, and every woman promises a man, that which only God alone can give, namely, perfect happiness. One of the reasons why so many marriages are shipwrecked is because as the young couple leave the altar, they fail to realize that human feelings tire and that the enthusiasm of the honeymoon is not the same as the more solid happiness of enduring human love."

St. Faustina's diary

Today, the love of God is transporting me into the other world. I am all immersed in love; I love and feel that I am loved, and with full consciousness I experience this. My soul is drowning in the Lord, realizing the great Majesty of God and its own littleness; but through this knowledge my happiness increases... This awareness is so vivid in the soul, so powerful and, at the same time, so sweet.       (1500)

Everlasting love, pure flame, burn in my heart ceaselessly and deify my whole being, according to Your infinite pleasure by which You summoned me into existence and called me to take part in Your everlasting happiness. O merciful Lord, it is only out of mercy that You have lavished these gifts upon me. Seeing all these free gifts within me, with deep humility I worship Your incomprehensible goodness. Lord, my heart is filled with amazement that You, absolute Lord, in need of no one, would nevertheless stoop so low out of pure love for us. I can never help being amazed that the Lord would have such an intimate relationship with His creatures. That again is His unfathomable goodness. Every time I begin this meditation, I never finish it, because my spirit becomes entirely drowned in Him. What a delight it is to love with all the force of one's soul and to be loved even more in return, to feel and experience this with the full consciousness of one's being. There are no words to express this.       (1523)

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.
 

Feb 26 -  COME TO MASS

Today Our Lady speaks of love and the Eucharist :

"Dear Children, I wish to tell you that this is a special time for you and the parish. During the summer, you said that you had a great deal of work. But the work in the fields is now finished, and so I call you now to work on yourselves! Come to Mass, the time is now provided.

Dear children, there are many who come to Mass, even in the worst weather, because they love me and want to prove their love. Now I call you to show me your love by coming to Mass. The Lord will reward you abundantly (Weekly Message November 21st, 1985)

St. Paul also speaks of the Eucharist :

For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me. " In the same way, he took the cup also, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. " For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, your proclaim the Lord's death until he comes (1 Cor 11 :23-26).

Reflection :

The Mass has come down to us as the greatest gift God could give his people : the gift of himself. Once Vicka, one of the visionaries of Medjugorje, was asked to identify the most important thing in her life. She responded :

The Blessed Mother has led me to understand that the center of my life is the Eucharist, which is Jesus, who is God. In the Mass, we are receiving Jesus, who is alive. In this sacrament we are really receiving Jesus, his own body and blood. We must be prepared to receive Christ alive. We must do this consciously, knowing what it means to receive him alive. Then we can experience Jesus' real presence within us and around us.

Vicka's reverence for the Eucharist extends to the point that, when once asked if she had to choose between an apparition of the Gospâ or receiving holy communion, she responded that she would choose the Eucharist, for that was the gift of God himself.

Application :

How does your devotion to the Eucharist compare to that of Vicka's? Given the great importance of this gift, could you participate in it more frequently ?

Sunday evening 6:00 p.m.

 

Tonight we prayed The Litany Prayers

 

 It was at the end of the 3rd decade, Our Blessed Mother has appeared as…

 

“Our Lady Of All Nations”

 

Michael said:  I bow down only to Jesus Christ

 

Blessed Mother replied:  YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR MY SON JESUS CHRIST LOVES AND PROTECTS YOU.

 

- now over the picture of The Sacred Heart, St. Padre-Pio has appeared and he is celebrating mass.

 

-and now on the-wall … I see a LARGE BROWN CROSS …

 

-and now I see a LARGE  BROWN ANCHOR

 

-and now I see The Holy Spirit as a ‘DOVE’ on the-wall … and It’s coming from –the-wall- and is going around the room,  and It’s going “through” everyone’s heart … including everyone on the radio internet.

      

And now once again… I see …

 

"OUR LADY OF ALL NATIONS"

 

MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN …

 

        LENT CONTINUES … HOW MANY OF YOU CONTINUE LENT … ATTENDING MASS JUST ON SUNDAY DURING LENT IS FAR FROM BEING ‘ENOUGH’ … FASTING … AND I DO MEAN FASTING OF WHAT YOU CONSIDER FASTING … LIKE POTATO CHIPS … OR CANDY … FOR LENT IS NOT ENOUGH … A SACRIFICE … IS NOT GIVING UP POTATO CHIPS OR PRETZELS OR CANDY … BUT A SACRIFICE IS DOING SOMETHING ‘EXTRA’ …

 

AN EXTRA ROSARY A DAY … OR AN EXTRA DIVINE MERCY … OR IF YOU DO NOT DO EITHER ONE … THEN YOU SHOULD DO ONE DURING LENT … I WILL  BE PLEASED WITH JUST A DIVINE MERCY EVERYDAY FOR LENT … TO TAKE TIME AWAY FROM YOUR LEISURE TIME … AND PRAY …

 

MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN …

 

        PLEASE DO REMEMBER … THAT MY SON YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU ON A CROSS … AND CAN’T YOU MAKE TIME TO THANK  HIM … JUST DURING LENT?

 

MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN

        PRAY FOR PEACE IN YOUR WORLD … PRAY FOR POPE BENEDICT THE XVI … AND HOPEFULLY THAT … YOU WILL DO ME ONE FAVOR … AND THAT IS … TO PRAY … THE FOUR MYSTERIES OF THE ROSARY … (TWO TIMES) … FORTY DECADES … ONE FOR EACH DAY FOR LENT … THIS MUST BE DONE … SOON …

 

MY DEAR CHILDREN … IF IT IS NOT DONE NEXT WEEK … THAN NO LATER THAN NEXT WEEK AS PALM SUNDAY WILL BE APPROACHING … AND PEOPLE ARE GETTING READY FOR PALM SUNDAY … PALM SUNDAY DINNER … THEY’LL BE SHOPPING AND COOKING … IT WILL BE HARD … SO I AM HOPING … IF IT IS NOT NEXT WEEK THEN THE WEEK AFTER THE LATEST … AND IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ON A SUNDAY … IT CAN BE A SATURDAY … A SATURDAY EARLY AFTERNOON … THIS WAY PEOPLE STILL HAVE TIME … FOR THEIR EVENING ENTERTAINMENT … WHETHER THEY GO OUT OR THEY WANT TO WATCH TELEVISION …

 

MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN

        PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY … LOOK AROUND…LOOK AT THE WORLD … WHAT IS HAPPENING?… LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBORS … LOOK AT YOUR FAMILIES … PEOPLE ARE MORE IN A RUSH … AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE THE TIME … TO THINK OF OUR LORD …

 

WARS ARE CONTINUING … PRAY FOR PEACE IN IRAQ … AFGHANISTAN … AND NOW I ASK YOU TO PRAY FOR … KOSOVO … WHO IS  BECOMING AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY … AND NOW THEY WANT TO BE … PRO-ABORTION … YES KOSOVO … WANTS TO BE PRO-ABORTION …

 

KOSOVO IS SO CLOSE … TO MEDJUGORJIE … PRAY MY DEAR PEOPLE … PRAY FOR THESE PEOPLE IN KOSOVO … PRAY THAT THEIR HEARTS OPEN TO OUR LORD … AND THEY DO –NOT- FOLLOW THIS … AS SATAN IS WORKING OVERTIME.

 

MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN …

 

        I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE … WHO IS DOING SO MUCH MORE THIS LENTEN SEASON … AND HOPEFULLY … IT WILL TOUCH YOUR HEARTS … THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE … AFTER THE LENTEN SEASON … ENDS … AS EVERYDAY SHOULD BE A LENTEN DAY ...

 

MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN …  I LOVE YOU ALL … SO VERY … VERY MUCH … AND I BLESS YOU ALL … IN THE NAME OF … OUR FATHER … MY SON … AND THE HOLY SPIRIT … AMEN.

 

(and now The Blessed Mother has disappeared.)

"O Heart of God, adorable Heart!

Heart, object of my total love,

Worthy of boundless love Thou art

Who lovest me all bounds above....

 

"Pardon, O Sacred Heart, those who

Neglect Thy Blessed Sacrament....

Pardon my lack of quickened sense

To savor well Thy banquet spread,

My languid, dull indifference

Though by the Bread of Angels fed....

 

"I love Thee, Heart all lovable;

I long, yes ardently I thirst

To love Thee wholly, knowing well

That Thou indeed didst love me first."

Medjugorje and the Church, Sr Emmanuel & Denis Nolan p 22

 

Mother Teresa  -

Jesus is the Light

Jesus is the Truth

Jesus is the Life

 

We too must be:

the Light of Charity

the Truth of Humility

the Life of Sanctity

 

 Meditations by Padre Pio -

 

I am absolutely unable to consider, in an indulgent manner, your neglecting Holy Communion, not to mention holy meditation. Remember that the only way to gain salvation is through prayer; you cannot win the battle without prayer. So the choice is up to you.

 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

 

 Hate the sin and offenses, but love the sinner and offender

 

It has been my lot to spend much time with men who have suffered in prisons, death marches, Siberia, concentration camps and other forms of Communist tortures. But I have never known any one of them who ever said a harsh word against his persecutors. Like some trees which bathe with perfume the ax which cuts them, they had nothing but pardon for those who did them violence. They hated Communism, but they loved the Communists."

 

St. Faustina's diary

 

O my most sweet Master, good Jesus, I give You my heart. You shape and mold it after Your liking. O fathomless Love, I open the calyx of my heart to You, like a rosebud to the freshness of dew. To You alone, my Betrothed, is known the fragrance of the flower of my heart. Let the fragrance of my sacrifice be pleasing to You. O Immortal God, my everlasting delight, already here on earth You are my heaven. May every beat of my heart be a new hymn of praise to You, O Holy Trinity! Had I as many hearts as there are drops of water in the ocean or grains of sand in the whole world, I would offer them all to You, O my Love, O Treasure of my heart! Whomever I shall meet in my life, no matter who they may be, I want to draw them all to love You, O my Jesus, my Beauty, my Repose, my sole Master, Judge, Savior and Spouse, all in one; I know that one title will modify the other - I have entrusted everything to Your mercy.       (1064)

 

 

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.

 

Feb 25   -   SHINE FOR OTHERS

 

The Blessed Virgin calls us to be a light for others "Thank you for the things you have renounced during Lent. Most of all, renounce sin. Be a light so you can shine for others. Encourage them to pray, fast, and do penance. Give your love to others (Visionary Prayer Group Feb 22, 1988)

 

Ephesians also calls us to light :

 

For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light?for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right true.

 

Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what such people do secretly; but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it say, "Sleeper, awake! Rise form the dead, and Christ will shine on you " (Eph 5 :8-14)

 

Reflection :

 

The most celebrated lighthouse of antiquity was the one erected by Ptolemy Soter on the island of Pharos, opposite Alexandria. The historian Josephus says it could be seen at a distance of 42 miles. It was one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. A holy life produces the deepest impression on others. Lighthouses blow no horns; they only shine. And so Our Lady urges us today to, "Be light, shine for others, " and St. Paul asks that we, "Live as children of light. " How ? By living the messages of the Blessed Mother, the basic gospel message. For there are two ways of spreading light : to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it.

 

Application :

 

For meditation today : "To reflect God in all that is, both here and now, my heart must be a mirror empty, bright and clear " (Angelus Silesius).

 

 I asked a priest about apparitions.

"Do we have to listen to them." He said "no."

Then I asked, "are there consequences to not listening." He said "no."

Then I said "what about the secrets of Fatima."

The second world war.

The persecution of the church and the Holy Father.

What are the consequences of not listening to Medjugorje?

I would say very serious!

 

Are we going to do as our fathers did?

Message to J.N.S.R. Jan.1, 2008-2nd Message

 

This form which is  the Most Holy Virgin of Light

 

*******

 

January 1st, 2008 - 2nd message.

 

JNSR:  Explanation:  While I was writing down about this long vision I saw in the night of the 31st of December to the 1st of January 2008, concerning this basket deposited at the foot of my bed, and was filling up with long Thorns, coming from the Sacred Head of Our Lord JESUS Christ still on His Cross.  The Cross was extending on the whole wall facing my bed.  JESUS is nailed on it, bleeding.  Our Lord said to me:

 

            " Here is what is being accomplished already, the Holy Masses offered to the Father for World Repentance.  Your lack of Love, your lack of Respect, your disobedience  have multiplied  the number of Thorns on My Crown.  For each Holy Mass offered to the Father, you pull them out, one by one:  already the basket is overflowing and is starting to fill your room.

 

            You must also pray to the Holy Spirit who is coming to help you in this great Work, so that the entire World continues the Great Prayer of the Eucharist on the entire World, with Holy Masses by the thousands".

 

JNSR:  While I was writing on this sheet of paper, a brightness appeared and set five forms representing the Holy Virgin.  From the three bright forms at the top of the sheet, I started to draw lines from one dot to another.  The first had the Blessed Mother looking to the right, the second looking left and the third looking down as if to draw my attention to the fourth, very important (it was still the Blessed Mother) who Herself was in a delicate profile, just so we would better see the candle shining as a flame.  It was like the Moon, a quarter of it disappearing before the Sun, taking all the space on the sheet where JESUS is speaking.  The candle was sparkling like the Sun representing MARY bearing JESUS.

 

            Then, the fifth form, the Holy Virgin is seen from behind.  I cannot draw Her Veil all luminous.  She saw my writing and quietly walks away.  We can only see some profile of Her Face.

 

            Then, I felt I had to go where the Holy Images and Prayers were.

 

             The box is full, but the Image that JESUS wants, is this one.  You can see the length of the Thorns still driven in His Sacred Head as a result of our lack of Love for God and all our brothers.  But look:  I only understood it after reading the Prayer of JESUS to receive His actual Message.  All is united in God:  "Over and over again, I keep sending My Mother to you wearing the anointing of My Mercy".   JESUS is sending us His Mother.  The apparition on this writing proves it to you.

 

            That is why She came, while I was writing, to enlighten all of the writing, to let you really hear Her Divine Son saying:  "Do and I will do".

 

JESUS and MARY  are speaking to you

to wish you a Happy and Holy Year

with His Holy Church.

Amen.

Prayer of a Wounded Heart

 

 

Please pray for me tomorrow as I teach at the prayer group I attend on the

wounded heart. Here is a prayer I would like to share.

 

 

Prayer of a Wounded Heart

 

Lord, I come before You so wounded and affected by all that has happened to me.

I choose now to open my desolate heart to Yours, and ask You to cleanse me from

all that has entered that is not of You. By the merits of Your wounded heart, I

invite You into every part of my being that has been damaged, and ask You to

heal me by the power of the Holy Spirit. I choose now to forgive all who have

hurt me, abandoned me, neglected me, both intentionally and unintentionally, and

release these individuals into Your healing Light that they, too, may be healed

and made whole. I pray for each one by name ___________________________. Please

fill the empty places in my heart with Your Healing Light that my life may touch

the lives of others. I open to You completely now to work in my life according

to Your Divine Will.

Amen

Message from Jesus via Henri of Belgium - Jan 12, 2008

 

Dominique Biot, whom Jesus mentions in Henri's messages, is Henri's male travelling-companion in this new mission. Both have been receiving messages from Heaven for several years; and in Dec. 2007 Henri received his first public message while a poem-message of Dominique's was first sent out via internet on January 10th. Jesus told Dominique that from time to time, He will inspire him to draw from his Poem-Messages of the past.

 

The French messages via Henri and Dominique are presently being translated to English and will soon be available in other languages.  Several people from different countries are diffusing these messages around the world via their own list and already two public messengers, having a spiritual director, have pronounced themselves in favor of the messages, as well as four priests: two from Canada, one from France and one from Africa; there is spiritual guidance as well as approval of the messages.  - Rita Doucet

 

 

 

NEW MESSENGER FROM BELGIUM

(Translated from French)

 

 

MESSAGE FROM JESUS

via Henri of Belgium

 

January 12, 2008

 

JESUS:

 

My little Henri, spend more time in My Presence. I desire that you let yourself be carried entirely by the arms of My Mother and your guardian angel Felicien who are at your side.

                                    

 

Your epoch reaches new heights in the rejection of God. Know, My little Henri, that if My Hand did not act, your world would be already non-existent for centuries now.

 

Yes, My little one, it's not Me who sends all these catastrophes to you, it's you who self-destroy youselves by your submissiveness to evil and your rejection of God.

 

Understand that I am only LOVE and that LOVE loves infinitely. But true Love, corrects and reprimands the child who, if he continues, heads straight toward perdition.

 

My little Henri, what joy to see your journey advance by leaps and bounds by your yes. All is foreseen since time immemorial and I await only your "yes" and your continued conversion. Don't spend a moment without me; your heart rests in Mine.

 

 

See how your travelling-companion is also committing himself to this journey which I anticipate for him. His heart burns with Love. He is My little Dominique and since your birth I have prepared you for this journey which opens itself and begins.

 

Many things must still happen but your dispath, by your yes and total abandonment, sounded the beginning of the great walk toward the new era.

 

Yes Henri, you will advance similarly each in your own missions before reuniting. You will advance as the two witnesses of the Apocalypse. Thank you for your total abandonment to the Divine Will.

 

Be small and humble. Others will join you and will soon help you; already many hearts feel that times are imminent and that the time has arrived to get under way and to make the choice now, before the events prevent you.

 

This is why, My little Henri, write this to My tiny slumbering remnant:

 

My beloved children, My little ones, what do you do with your days?! Am I in your heart? Do you know me? Do you meet me in the Eucharist? Today My little ones, I need your yes, your absolute yes.

 

It's a matter of getting under way and following Me, now! Don't put off your conversion to tomorrow! Tomorrow, My children? But why are you so sure that you will see tomorrow? How many will be called back today and will face Me for a final judgment... Oh My beloved ones, convert yourself, keep your lamps lit.

 

Pray, pray, pray! Ask for the graces necessary, speak to Me! Do not be afraid. Never will I force you, My little ones; I will always respect your free will. That is why, I urge you to avoid unwholesome places that will cause you to reject Me and to be separated from Me. But seek the signs which have been given to you; pray and you will see that I will always answer you.

 

The Time is so near, My little ones, that My tears flow unceasingly, to see what madness you are plunging yourself into. You want your freedom, My little ones, but you are chained to your everyday life. You can no longer give Me one minute of your time. Is this your freedom?

 

I call you to conversion! Again and always and this message is unceasingly repeated by My Mother everywhere in the world. But what are you waiting for to commit yourself? You await the events... You predict... You doubt... My little ones, change your heart that your conversion may be an act of love.

 

You are presently living in the Times predicted centuries ago -- terrible times due to the lack of faith and terrible acts committed against God. But also times when numerous signs, miracles and healings are given to you.

 

That is why, let us advance still a little more, My little Henri. Many of My children are tested at the moment and this in many ways. For some it is by financial difficulties, others by the absence of work, an illness, family difficulties or even their faith is put to the test; others know separation to the point of being taken for fools...

 

But My children who diffuse and receive the messages are also put to the test. Often some reject the messages thinking that their action is just, that they are making an act of faith...

 

My children, do not worry about all this because it is necessary that all this happens. You are thus being put through the purification in order to get you ready for when the events will swoop down on the world.

 

Yes, My little ones, for these events are extremely close! I've been repeating this for years! You will retort that these imminent events will only happen in a few years. No, My children! Examine your heart; speak to Me!

 

Where do you think I am? Each day, at every moment, I am at the door of your hearts and I knock unceasingly at its door. Answer Me, have this constant dialogue with me!

 

The hour of your choice is imminent! For in a few days now (His time) a warning will awaken My little children! If you are not ready, this event will shatter you; you will panic. Retain faith and confidence! For this powerful awakening will cause chaos everywhere and will get you started on your journey.

 

Yes, it is the hour of the great tribulation and much hardship awaits you this year. My people of America will have much to suffer. Oh France, your kiss of Judas makes me suffer terribly and your act will plunge the world in complete darkness.

 

Oh My Pope, when you'll proclaim My Mother Co-Redemptrix and Avocate, this great sign will assemble My little remnant and will reveal to all the fury of the enemy. Your wait is not long any more, My children; in a few days you will awaken and your situation will have changed. The world will no longer be the same.

 

That is why, it's important to prepare yourself today and to help one another, to live in small faithful communities loyal to the Pope.

 

I invite you today, on this day and week, to pray particularly for My tiny jnsr. She always remains discreet and humble; she is My beloved child. Her mission is a total gift of herself, and it is due to her obedience and total submission to the Divine Will that My message could be diffused worldwide. Today the Crosses of Love have spread all over the world. Be Crosses of Love also, My children; if you cannot have one at your home, build them in your heart.

 

Pray, pray, pray, My little ones; never will I tell you this enough, for My call is never heard sufficently. My children, wake up! Do not delay any longer! My call is even more urgent and more insistent today!

 

I let Myself be touched and I am at the door of your heart. Don't doubt regardless of the wounds you carry inside you. Give them to Me! I am speaking to your heart; be silent and listen to Me.

 

Yes, believe and live the true life in God! I will soon be sending My little children on the road.

 

My little Henri, the time is coming when it will be necessary for you to leave all, to follow Me and go where I will indicate you. You will not be alone and some will call you. While waiting continue to spread My messages.

 

My little ones, I love you and I bless you. Make this effort to pray with your heart. Amen.

BODY OR SOUL

 

GOD IS TRYING, DEAR CHILDREN, YOUR LIFE TO SIMPLIFY,

BUT WITH EVERY ATTEMPT YOU KEEP ASKING HIM WHY.

DO YOU NEED ALL THE PLEASURE TO HELP YOU SURVIVE

WHEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO HAVE MUCH LESS AND STILL MANAGE TO THRIVE?

 

THE PLASMA T. V. AND ALL THE HIGH TECH DEVICES,

DO THEY BOOST YOUR SPIRIT OR PROMOTE OTHER VICES?

WHEN YOU GO TO CASINOS OR SAIL ON A CRUISE,

DO YOU THINK ABOUT THOSE WHO HAVE NOT ONE PAIR OF SHOES?

 

IF YOU’RE USING YOUR CELL PHONE TO REQUEST A PRAYER,

THEN GOD WOULD PERHAPS CONSIDER THIS FAIR.

BUT IF YOU’RE CALLING SOMEONE TO GOSSIP INSTEAD,

GOD WOULD NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IF THE BATTERY WENT DEAD.

 

YOU CAN PLAY THE LOTTERY, AND PERHAPS YOU WILL WIN,

BUT WILL IT BE ENOUGH TO PAY FOR EACH SIN?

IF YOU WANT, MY DEAR CHILDREN, GOD YOUR LIFE TO RESTORE,

START ASKING FOR LESS AND HE WILL GIVE YOU MUCH MORE.

 

IT SHOULD NOT BE YOUR BODY, BUT IT SHOULD BE YOUR SOUL

THAT YOU TRY TO REPLENISH AND AGAIN MAKE IT WHOLE.

WORLDLY POSSESSIONS CANNOT THIS FULFILL,

BUT YOU WILL FIND YOUR TREASURE IF YOU COMPLY WITH GOD’S WILL.

 

“THY WILL BE DONE”

Message of January 25, 2008 "Dear children! With the time of Lent, you are approaching a time of grace. Your heart is like ploughed soil and it is ready to receive the fruit which will grow into what is good. You, little children, are free to choose good or evil. Therefore, I call you to pray and fast. Plant joy and the fruit of joy will grow in your hearts for your good, and others will see it and receive it through your life. Renounce sin and choose eternal life. I am with you and intercede for you before my Son. Thank you for having responded to my call."

"'You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church' . . . 'Feed my lambs . . . Tend my sheep'. This invitation of Jesus' is especially alive in my soul when I contemplate the Eucharistic mystery. I entrust all the People of God to Him, the Good Shepherd, in this Lenten walk towards  Easter" (Pope John Paul II, February 20, 2005).

Outside the Eucharistic celebration, the Church is careful to venerate the
Blessed Sacrament, which must be "reserved...as the spiritual centre of the religious and parish community" (Paul VI, Mysterium Fidei, n. 68).
Pope John Paul II -

Mother Teresa  -

True love for our neighbor is to wish him well and to do good to him.

Padre Pio -
 He who does not meditate is like a person who never looks in the mirror and therefore does not bother to be tidy when he goes out, since he can be dirty without knowing it.

The person who meditates and thinks of God, who is the mirror of his soul, tries to discover his defects, attempts to correct them, controls himself and straightens out his conscience.
 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Pity can be misplaced if one does not see the whole picture

"When Our Lord was being led out to Calvary, the pious women came to console Him, but He addressed them saying, 'Weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves and your children.' In other words, 'Your pity is misplaced. It is not for Me that you should mourn, but rather weep for those who send Me to death. Shed no tears for the Crucified, but for the crucifers. I go to a momentary sorrow, but there is a glorious Resurrection from it. In every flame there is a point of quietness and repose where a match may be inserted without igniting; so too within My heart, already so crowned with thorns of sorrow, there is an oasis of joy which no man can take from Me.'"
St. Faustina's diary

Where there is genuine virtue, there must be sacrifice as well; one's whole life must be a sacrifice. It is only by means of sacrifice that souls can become useful. It is my self-sacrifice which, in my relationship with my neighbor, can give glory to God, but God's love must flow through this sacrifice, because everything is concentrated in this love and takes its value from it.       (1358)

I am coming out of this retreat thoroughly transformed by God's love. My soul is beginning a new life, earnestly and courageously; although outwardly my life will not change, and no one will notice it, nevertheless, pure love is [now] the guide of my life and, externally, it is mercy which is its fruit. I feel that I have been totally imbued with God and, with this God, I am going back to my everyday life, so drab, tiresome, and wearying, trusting that He whom I feel in my heart will change this drabness into my personal sanctity.       (1363)

O Eternal Love, who enkindles a new life within me, a life of love and of mercy, support me with Your grace, so that I may worthily answer Your call, so that what You Yourself have intended to accomplish in souls through me might indeed be accomplished.

My God, I see the radiance of eternal dawn. My whole soul bounds toward You, O Lord; nothing any longer holds me back, nothing ties me to earth. Help me, O Lord, to bear the rest of my days with patience. The sacrifice of my love burns incessantly before Your Majesty, but so silently that only Your divine eye sees it, O God, and no other creature is capable of perceiving it.       (1365)

Feb 24  -  EVEN THE SMALLEST PRAYERS

Today the Blessed Mother speaks of prayer from the heart

: "Dear Children, today I call you to pray with the heart. Throughout this season of grace; I wish each of you to be united with Jesus. But without unceasing prayer, you cannot experience the great and beautiful graces which God is offering you.

Therefore, little children, at all times fill your hearts with even the smallest prayers. I am with you and I keep watch unceasingly over every heart which is given to me. (Monthly Message Feb 25, 1989)

St. James advises : If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. But ask in faith; never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind (Jas

1 :5-6).

Reflection :

James emphasizes that our prayer should be confident and hopeful, for God will deny nothing that is good to his children. And the Blessed Virgin stresses the importance of "even the smallest prayers, " for they too are an encounter with her divine Son.

The following is a special "small prayer " for inner peace which seeks the intercession of St. Therese, the Little Flower :

"Lord Jesus, inspired by the example of St. Therese, I place all my trust in your Sacred Heart, and surrender myself to your will. Come into my life, drive away my fears, stop my restless strivings, and show me new ways of pleasing you. Teach me to discern

the good in others, and to love them with an affectionate smile, a gentle touch, a patient ear, and an affirming word.

St. Therese, pray that I may become alive again with awe, the appreciation of truth, and the courage to oppose evil. Remind me always that I am created for happiness, for the joy of living in the presence of God. St. Therese, pray that I, and all God's people, may have the inner peace that comes form confidence, surrender, and affirmation. Amen.

Application :

While reflecting on this prayer, you may wish to copy it on a mall piece of paper and tuck it into your wallet or purse for use in troubled or anxious times.

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 23 - Pray, pray, pray!       
True and solid holiness consists in receiving, as a specialty of Divine Love, everything that can happen to us
 
"When you see It [the Body of Christ] exposed, say to yourself: Thanks to this body, I am no longer dust and ashes, I am no more a captive but a freeman: hence I hope to obtain heaven and the good things that are there in store for me, eternal life, the heritage of the angels, companionship with Christ; death has not destroyed this body which was pierced by nails and scourged, . . . this is that body which was once covered with blood, pierced by a lance, from which issued saving fountains upon the world, one of blood and the other of water. . . This body He gave to us to keep and eat, as a mark of His intense love" (St. John Chrysostom).

 To doubt is the greatest insult to the Divinity-Padre Pio        
Pope John Paul II -

Bishop Murilo Kreiger - "We three bishops and 31 priests will travel tomorrow from Medjugorje to Rome. Coming from Brazil to Rome we had but one desire, to go to Medjugorje and to stay there for two weeks at the school of Mary… We never dreamed that so many and such beautiful graces were awaiting us…" (homily at Medjugorje Jan 21 1988). P 21

Mother Teresa  -

Jesus came to earth to give charity its rightful place in the hearts of men. " By this," He said, " men shall know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another " and this commandment will last for all eternity.

Meditations by Padre Pio -
But the reason why you don't succeed in meditating well is this, and I am not mistaken: You approach meditation with a certain, special alteration, coupled with the great anxiety to find some object which can console and content your spirit. And this is sufficient to see to it that you never find what you seek, and do not rest your mind on the truths you meditate upon, or empty your heart of affections. When one seeks something one has lost with great haste and avidity, one can even touch this object with ones hand, and even see it a hundred times without realizing it.
 

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

 The Blame Game!

"The self-indulgent always find fault with others. The blame has to be placed somewhere: the boss, the nagging wife, the teachers, the politicians or the nasty man at the next desk. The sense of justice is so rooted in the human heart that responsibility must be laid on some shoulders; if not on self, where it belongs, then on another, where it does not. The self-pity awakens a sorrow which leads to despair and remorse."

St. Faustina's diary Suddenly, when I had consented to the sacrifice with all my heart and all my will, God's presence pervaded me. My soul became immersed in God and was inundated with such happiness that I cannot put in writing even the smallest part of it. I felt that His Majesty was enveloping me. I was extraordinarily fused with God. I saw that God was well pleased with me and, reciprocally, my spirit drowned itself in Him. Aware of this union with God, I felt I was especially loved and, in turn, I loved with all my soul. A great mystery took place during that adoration, a mystery between the Lord and myself. It seemed to me that I would die of love [at the sight of] His glance. I spoke much with the Lord, without uttering a single word. And the Lord said to me, You are the delight of My Heart; from today on, every one of your acts, even the very smallest, will be a delight to My eyes, whatever you do. At that moment I felt transconsecrated. My earthly body was the same, but my soul was different; God was now living in it with the totality of His delight. This is not a feeling, but a conscious reality that nothing can obscure.       (137)

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. To order 1-866-726-5865

Feb 23  -  PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!

Our Lady's monthly message for October, 1991 (in the midst of the Yugoslavian civil war), was startling in its brevity. It was simply :

"Pray, pray, pray ! "

In St.John's gospel, Jesus weeps out of love for his friend Lazarus :

When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. He said, "Where have you laid him? " They said to him, "Lord, come and see. " Jesus began to weep. So the Jews said, "See how he loved him! " (Jan 11 :33-36)

Reflection :

Today we have two brief but powerful messages from Jesus and the Blessed Mother : prayer and love. It is these qualities that mark the following love letter from Jesus (quoted from the Apostleship of Prayer) :

Dear Friend,

How are you? I just had to send a note to tell you how much I love you and care about you.

I saw you yesterday as you were talking with your friends. I waited all day, hoping you would want to talk with me also. As evening drew near, I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to rest you—and I waited. You never came. Oh,yes, it hurts me—but I still love you because I am your friend.

I saw you fall asleep last night and longed to touch your brow, so I spilled moonlight upon your pillow and face. Again I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you! You awakened late and rushed off to work. My tears were in the rain. Today you looked so sad—so all alone. It makes my heart ache because I understand. My friends let me down and hut me many times, too, but I love you.

Oh, if you would only listen to me. I love you! I try to tell you in the blue sky and in the quiet green grass. I whisper it in the leaves on the trees and breathe it in the colors of flowers. I shout it to you, I mountain streams and give the birds love songs to sing. I clothe you with warm sunshine and perfume the air with nature scents. My love for you is deeper than the ocean and bigger than the biggest want or needing your heard. Oh, if you only knew how much I want to walk and talk with you. We could spend an eternity together in heaven.

I know how hard it is on this earth; I really know!

And I want to help you. I want you to meet my Father. He wants to help you, too. My Father is that way, you know. Just call me ask me, talk with me! Oh, please don't forget me. I have so much to share with you! All right, I won't bother you any further. You are free to choose me. It's your decision. I have chosen you, and because of this I will wait, because I love you!

Your friend,

Jesus

Application :

Today, simply speak to the Lord with your heart.

Prayer of Prevention


Prayer of Prevention
by Father DeGrandis


Excerpted from his spiritual warfare prayer

http://copiosa.org/spirituality/spiritual_warfare.htm

Seal your family against infiltration of evil and the "spirit of infirmity" at
this time when there is so much disease.

"In the Name of Jesus, I seal myself, my relatives and friends, my home, my
workplace, my automobile and all sources of supply in the Precious Blood of
Jesus"

This should be repeated three times in honor of the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit.

Third Luminous Mystery- Jesus Proclamation of the Kingdom of God with His Call
to Conversion

Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all
nations, open your heart My Little One that you may hear with the ears of the
soul and see with the eyes of the soul.

My little children, to ?Proclaim means to announce, to say out loud words that
mean you are proud of someone or proud to be with someone. To say to your
friends, family that you love them, that you are happy to be part of your family
or that you are very happy that you are friends with your classmates or the
children that live in your neighborhood. When these mysteries were placed in
Pope John Paul?s heart, he was thinking how wonderful it was to be a part of the
Roman Catholic Faith.

Remember my little ones, when I spoke to you of receiving the Holy Sacrament of
Baptism. This is when you became a new member of the Roman Catholic Church which
prepares you through the Holy Sacraments and the Teachings of the Roman Catholic
Church, to enter into the Kingdom of God. To enter into the Kingdom of God for
all eternity should be every person?s goal. When I speak to you of a goal, that
means to go forth or go ahead. As a child of God, staying close to God should be
very important to you and if you remember in the Joyful Mysteries I said that
when you pray this is speaking with God it is also how you would stay close to
God. It is how you tell Me, your Jesus of Mercy and God the Father that you want
to be close to Us. The closer you get to Me your Jesus of Mercy and God the
Father, the easier it becomes to reach your goal of entering the Kingdom of God,
and the more you will grow to love me your Jesus of Mercy and God the Father and
through growing in your love for Us you will be able to show others how to love
Us. Your prayers are very special to God the Father and to Me your Jesus of
Mercy and through your praying for others than your example can teach others of
Our Love, Our Mercy and they will desire to change and get closer to God the
Father and Me your Jesus of Mercy. This is what the word ?conversion? means, to
change. And as their heart changes, they begin to have a greater desire to live
for all eternity in the Kingdom of God. Are you beginning to see how important
each of you are to My Father and to Me your Jesus of Mercy. This is how much We
love each one of you, so much so that all We want is for every person to always
have and know Our Love and someday to live with Us in Heaven for all eternity.
This is why the Holy Sacrament of Reconcilliation is so important, going to the
priest to confess all that was done wrong and ask forgiveness of God the Father,
God the Son and God the Holy Spirit and receive the Holy Grace of Absolution
from the priest who represents the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is important
to be sorry for all sins and making sure that one?s soul is in the State of
Grace by asking forgiveness through the Holy Sacrament of Reconciliation


Now my little children, I have promised you that I will be with you each time
you say your daily rosary and God the Father promises that your prayers will
save many souls so lets start now with One Our Father, Ten Hail Mary?s and One
Gloria. Please remember My precious little children that I will wait every day
for this special time that you come to spend with Me and pray your rosary I love
you, your Jesus of Mercy.

The words IN RED are for your parents to read and help you to understand and
share with each other My Holy Mother?s Rosary.

Another mystery of light is the preaching by which Jesus proclaims the coming of
the Kingdom of God, calls to conversion (cf. Mk 1:15) and forgives the sins of
all who draw near to him in humble trust (cf. Mk 2:3-13; Lk 7:47- 48): the
inauguration of that ministry of mercy which he continues to exercise until the
end of the world, particularly through the Sacrament of Mount Tabor. The glory
of the Godhead shines forth from the face of Christ as the Father commands the
astonished Apostles to listen to him/?(cf. Lk 9:35 and parallels) and to
prepare to experience with him the agony of the Passion, so as to come with him
to the joy of the Resurrection and a life transfigured by the Holy Spirit.

September 25, 1995
"Dear Children! Today I invite you to fall in love with the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Adore Him, little children, in your Parishes and in this way you will be united with the entire world. Jesus will become your friend and you will not talk of Him like someone whom you barely know. Unity with Him will be a joy for you and you will become witnesses to the love of Jesus that He has for every creature. Little children, when you adore Jesus you are also close to me. Thank you for having responded to my call."

A special request from Its Time

 

We would like to increase our daily emails and we ask you to help us.

Send in the email address of one person you care for.

In this way we could double our daily emails in one day.

If they ask to be removed we do it immediately. 


Pope John Paul II -

Bishop John Magee - former secretary to the Holy Father:
"Without question these apparitions [in Medjugorje] are entirely true."
(Medjugorje Reflections, Bedard, p 85) p 21


Mother Teresa -  

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


Meditations by Padre Pio -

  I cannot at all believe and therefore dispense you from meditation for the sole reason that you feel you gain nothing from it. The holy gift of prayer, my good daughter, is in the right hand of the Saviour, and to the degree to which you are emptied of yourself, that is, emptied of love of body and your own will, and that you continually become more well-rooted in holy humility, the Lord will communicate this to your heart.


 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The difference between the penitent and proud

"Take the other case of those who suffer unjustly but with faith and love of God in their hearts. They may have a sadness in their hearts from pain and torture, but never remorse. They end in penitence or a making up for guilt by bearing patiently the trials of others. This is illustrated in the case of Judas and Peter. There is much similarity between the two, up to a point. Our Lord warned both of them that they would fail; He even told them that each would be a devil."


St. Faustina's diary  

 A light from the morning meditation: Whatever You do with me, Jesus, I will always love You, for I am Yours. Little matter whether You leave me here  or put me somewhere else; I am always Yours.

It is with love that I abandon myself to Your most wise decrees, O God, and Your will, O Lord, is my daily nourishment. You, who know the beatings of my heart, know that it beats for You alone, my Jesus. Nothing can quench my longing for You. I am dying for You, Jesus. When will You take me into Your dwelling place [cf. John. 14:1-3]?       (1145)

As long as we live, the love of God grows in us. Until we die, we ought to strive for the love of God. I have learned and experienced that souls living in love are distinguished in this: that they are greatly enlightened concerning the things of God, both in their own souls and in the souls of others. And simple souls, without an education, are outstanding for their knowledge.       (1191)

Today, I have heard these words: My daughter, delight of My Heart, it is with pleasure that I look into your soul. I bestow many graces only because of you. I also withhold My punishments only because of you. You restrain Me, and I cannot vindicate the claims of My justice. You bind My hands with your love.      (1193)


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. 

 

Feb 22   -  THE CHAIR OF PETER

In the first weeks of the apparitions, the Blessed Virgin kissed an image of the Pope and said :

"He is your father, the spiritual father of all. It is necessary to pray for him. " (First Years November 8,1981)

And in March of 1982, smiling at two large pictures of the Pope that had been brought by a woman from Osijek, Our Lady said : "He is your father, my angels. " (First Years March 2, 1982) In Matthew's gospel, Jesus responds to Peter's faith in these words : And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, an the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven (Mt 16 :18-19)

Reflection :

On the cross, Jesus gave us his mother to be our own. In a like manner, in today's message, Mary in turn points to the Holy Father and gives him to us as "the spiritual father of all. " The Chair of Peter is a gift from God who never leaves us without a shepherd to guide and teach us. It has been the charge of the Popes through the ages to hand down the body of faith which Christ gave to his apostles and followers, to preserve it in its integrity for future generations. Through the calm and turbulence of 2000 years, that legacy of faith has now come down to us and to the present Pope, who in turn will teach and preserve it. No other institution of any kind has so survived the ages, a sign of the Spirit's presence with the church , once called "Mother " to signify its mission of nourishing God's children. As Christians and Catholics, we give thanks today for this priceless legacy and for the successor of Peter who is "father of all. "

Application :

Our Lady says of the Pope in her message, "He is your father…it is necessary to pray for him. " Let us then offer a rosary for the Holy Father today, and remember him in prayer for the rest of the week. Today, simply speak to the Lord with your heart.

Info + Message-Poem via Dominique Biot of France - January 14, 2008

 

Dominique, whom Jesus mentioned in Henri's January 10th message, is Henri's male travelling-companion in this new mission. Henri and Dominique have been receiving messages from Heaven for several years; and in December 2007 Henri received his first public message, while a poem-message of Dominique's was first sent out via internet on January 10. Jesus told Dominique that from time to time, He will inspire him to draw from his Poem-Messages of the past.

 
The French messages via Henri and Dominique are presently being translated to English and will soon be available in other languages.  Several people from different countries are diffusing these messages around the world via their own list and already two public messengers, having a spiritual director, have pronounced themselves in favor of the messages, as well as four priests: two from Canada, one from France and one from Africa; there is spiritual guidance as well as approval of the messages.  - Rita Doucet

 
 
NEW MESSENGER FROM FRANCE
(translated from French)
 
 
MESSAGE-POEM FROM JESUS
via Dominique Biot of
France
 

January 14, 2008

 
JESUS:
 
 
Unity


Your ways are not My ways,
My thoughts are not your thoughts!
O children of My Heart, why
Do you seek to understand, undermine, analyse
That which only My grace can enlighten?
Abandon yourself: you can only
Understand things in their fulfillment ...
It is only in My sacraments and a sincere heart
That you will find unity among you.
From confession draw the strength offered
Again and again to purify you, inspire you: yoke
So precious for your fragile little soul;
And receive Me thus! 
To be in My thoughts, in My ways,
You must leave all to Me, the Savior;
Abandon your torn being and offer yourself
In Faith and Love, to My Heart!
My Church is sick, rebuild Her from the inside!
How I cry, My children, that you are not united,
Each intrepreting, distorting that which only grace,
By My Word and My sacraments, gives! 
Traditionalists, Modernists, Protestants, Orthodox,
Shame on you for dividing yourself in this atheist world!
What a deplorable example from people
Saying they love Me! What an unorthodox example
In front of My children of other religions or pagans!
Do you think they will come to Me, this way?
I need Saints! Be Saints ... !

Dear children, despite the betrayals
Of many, I love you all,
Knowing that the plenitude of My revelation obtains itself
Among the christians worthy of this name.  May all
Listen: Only the example supported by prayer,
Only the evangelization given when a heart
Listens finally at the right moment
After a fruitful suffering, only thus: I come!
It is rare, in your epoch, the souls who receive Me
Apart from that in obedience and uncompromising faith;
All the rest are but vain words,
Vanity of the self-important man ... !
Unity: only one pastor, only one flock
In My Church, soon! But what pain
Could be avoided if you loved more;
Draw from My Body and My Blood a fecundity
Bringing in the renewal! Mingle your blood
With Mine in order to obtain the Kingdom?
Not necessarily martyrdom, only
A spiritual combat where you will be victorious!
Go deep inside yourself
So that your heart burns with Love!
Unity waits for you!

Spe Salve - Pope Benedict XVI Encylical on Hope - Release 4


The heavens are not empty and life does not end in nothingness. Faith in Gods existence is the origin of Christian hope, it gives meaning to our existencethe existence of each person and everyone togetherand it allows us to look beyond fear towards the Last Judgment.


In his 2nd encyclical Spe Salvi (Saved in Hope) Pope Benedict XV affirms that the current faith in scientific progress and contesting of Gods existence based on the injustices of this world, are incapable of giving a true answer to mans questions on the future. Hope is learned and exercised in places of Prayer, action, sufferance and waiting for Gods Judgment. (
Asia News11-30-07)


Over 7 weeks this new encyclical will be provided in its entirety, but in several parts to encourage those, who might not otherwise take the time to read it, to ponder the mystery of Hope in Gods Plan of salvation. Release 4:

MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN
SHARON FITZPATRICK LOCUTIONIST

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20. 2008

MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,

I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR PERSEVERANCE. DESPITE THE BITTER COLD YOU COME
TO PRAY HERE WITH THE MOTHER OF GOD. WHAT GREAT OFFERINGS YOU MAKE AND
THESE OFFERINGS MAKE FOR YOU A LENT OF SACRIFICE AND SUFFERING. I TAKE YOUR
OFFERINGS BEFORE THE FATHER, AND HE IS PLEASED.

BECAUSE HE IS PLEASED, HE HAS ALLOWED THESE PETALS FROM HEAVEN TO BE MY OWN,
COMING FROM THE DEPTHS OF THIS, YOUR MOTHER'S HEART. AND SO I BEGIN WITH
SENTIMENTS OF LOVE. YOU ARE MY LITTLE ONES AND I NOT ONLY ENCOURAGE YOU IN
WAYS MOST PLEASING TO GOD, BUT I ALSO DRAW YOU INTO MY PROTECTION. NOT JUST
FROM THE WORLD, BUT FROM YOURSELVES. UNDERSTANDING HOW WEAK YOU ARE, I DRAW
FROM GOD'S ENDLESS SOURCE OF GRACE, AN ABUNDANCE. THROUGH THIS GRACE YOU
RECOGNIZE THE TRUTH AND THE IMPORTANCE OF LIVING IT. YOU THRIVE ON THE HOLY
EUCHARIST AND STAND FIRM IN PENITENCE. YOU ARE BUT FEW NOW, BUT THOUGH YOU
ARE FEW, YOUR UNITY WILL BE STRONG AGAINST EVIL AND BRING YOU FACE TO FACE
WITH JESUS AND YOU WILL THEN STAND WITH HIM.

I AM HAPPY TO GIVE YOU THESE WORDS. THEY REMIND YOU OF YOUR WORTH AND YOUR
COMMITMENT. CONSIDER ALL OF THIS MY SWEET CHILDREN, AND HOLD FAST TO THIS
MOTHER.

AND NOW WITH GREAT TENDERNESS AND SWEETNESS DO I BLESS YOU IN THE NAME OF
THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.

CONSIDERING THESE PETALS FROM HEAVEN, ACCEPT THE BLESSING OF CHRIST,
PRAISING AND THANKING GOD, FOREVER, FOREVER, FOREVER.

 

Message to Louise Feb. 17,2008

MESSAGE via, V+J
February 17, 2008- - -11:10 P.M.

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

Then God your Father spoke, "It won't be long now children before your
televisions will be completely useless. This is a serious matter of control and
it (T.V.)
will contain THE CHIP! All will be monitored! Shows and commercials will be
extremely sinful in dress , word and actions.

A new age will begin for, in the near future, all electronics will have to
be bought new or you will need a special device to operate them.

Your homes and vehicles will be control devices used by evil men, controlled
by satan, to lead you astray.

Buy NO NEW gadgets! Buy NO NEW televisions or other electronic appliances,
phones, radios, etc. DO WITHOUT!

I am allowing satan to reign over the earth for a time to test all people.
This must be to fulfill Scripture. Remain with Me! Trust Me! Do not lose
hope! Keep the faith! I promise I WILL NEVER leave My own! Be strong no
matter what and stay strong until the end!

Pray unceasingly! My word is true and all WILL be be fulfilled. AMEN!"

 

Message to Eileen Renders Feb.21, 2008


 
Here is what Jesus asks of us today.

Eileen

Thursday Adoration ~ February 21, 2008


Jesus Reminds Us To Exert Caution In Our Daily Activities

Today I spent an hour alone with Jesus in meditation and prayed the Rosary
for all those with special needs and intentions. After offering up small
offerings to Jesus and Mary, I knelt and asked Jesus to please cover me with His
most precious blood and prayed saying, Speak Lord (if it be Your will), Your
servant listens.

Jesus responded to my heart with these words; Eileen My child, as a young
boy I often removed My sandals and walked in shallow ponds while splashing at
the water with My feet, yet cautious not to expose My whole body to the
elements.

I want all of My children to remain cautious as they play and experiment
with various types of exposure insuring not to hurt their body, or offend God.

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers
and sisters. Amen.

True and solid holiness consists in receiving, as a specialty of Divine Love, everything that can happen to us


 

September 25, 1995
"Dear Children! Today I invite you to fall in love with the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Adore Him, little children, in your Parishes and in this way you will be united with the entire world. Jesus will become your friend and you will not talk of Him like someone whom you barely know. Unity with Him will be a joy for you and you will become witnesses to the love of Jesus that He has for every creature. Little children, when you adore Jesus you are also close to me. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Pope Pius XII writes of the importance of spending time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, "The Divine Redeemer loves to listen to our entreaties, to speak with us familiarly, and to give us a refuge in His Heart which burns with love for us" (Mediator Dei).


A special request from Its Time

 

We would like to increase our daily emails and we ask you to help us.

Send in the email address of one person you care for.

In this way we could double our daily emails in one day.

If they ask to be removed we do it immediately. 


Pope John Paul II -

Bishop John Magee - former secretary to the Holy Father:
"Without question these apparitions [in Medjugorje] are entirely true."
(Medjugorje Reflections, Bedard, p 85) p 21


Mother Teresa -  

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


Meditations by Padre Pio -

  I cannot at all believe and therefore dispense you from meditation for the sole reason that you feel you gain nothing from it. The holy gift of prayer, my good daughter, is in the right hand of the Saviour, and to the degree to which you are emptied of yourself, that is, emptied of love of body and your own will, and that you continually become more well-rooted in holy humility, the Lord will communicate this to your heart.


 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The difference between the penitent and proud

"Take the other case of those who suffer unjustly but with faith and love of God in their hearts. They may have a sadness in their hearts from pain and torture, but never remorse. They end in penitence or a making up for guilt by bearing patiently the trials of others. This is illustrated in the case of Judas and Peter. There is much similarity between the two, up to a point. Our Lord warned both of them that they would fail; He even told them that each would be a devil."

Spe Salve - Pope Benedict XVI Encylical on Hope - Release 4


The heavens are not empty and life does not end in nothingness. Faith in Gods existence is the origin of Christian hope, it gives meaning to our existencethe existence of each person and everyone togetherand it allows us to look beyond fear towards the Last Judgment.


In his 2nd encyclical Spe Salvi (Saved in Hope) Pope Benedict XV affirms that the current faith in scientific progress and contesting of Gods existence based on the injustices of this world, are incapable of giving a true answer to mans questions on the future. Hope is learned and exercised in places of Prayer, action, sufferance and waiting for Gods Judgment. (
Asia News11-30-07)


Over 7 weeks this new encyclical will be provided in its entirety, but in several parts to encourage those, who might not otherwise take the time to read it, to ponder the mystery of Hope in Gods Plan of salvation. Release 4:

MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,

I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR PERSEVERANCE. DESPITE THE BITTER COLD YOU COME
TO PRAY HERE WITH THE MOTHER OF GOD. WHAT GREAT OFFERINGS YOU MAKE AND
THESE OFFERINGS MAKE FOR YOU A LENT OF SACRIFICE AND SUFFERING. I TAKE YOUR
OFFERINGS BEFORE THE FATHER, AND HE IS PLEASED.

BECAUSE HE IS PLEASED, HE HAS ALLOWED THESE PETALS FROM HEAVEN TO BE MY OWN,
COMING FROM THE DEPTHS OF THIS, YOUR MOTHER'S HEART. AND SO I BEGIN WITH
SENTIMENTS OF LOVE. YOU ARE MY LITTLE ONES AND I NOT ONLY ENCOURAGE YOU IN
WAYS MOST PLEASING TO GOD, BUT I ALSO DRAW YOU INTO MY PROTECTION. NOT JUST
FROM THE WORLD, BUT FROM YOURSELVES. UNDERSTANDING HOW WEAK YOU ARE, I DRAW
FROM GOD'S ENDLESS SOURCE OF GRACE, AN ABUNDANCE. THROUGH THIS GRACE YOU
RECOGNIZE THE TRUTH AND THE IMPORTANCE OF LIVING IT. YOU THRIVE ON THE HOLY
EUCHARIST AND STAND FIRM IN PENITENCE. YOU ARE BUT FEW NOW, BUT THOUGH YOU
ARE FEW, YOUR UNITY WILL BE STRONG AGAINST EVIL AND BRING YOU FACE TO FACE
WITH JESUS AND YOU WILL THEN STAND WITH HIM.

I AM HAPPY TO GIVE YOU THESE WORDS. THEY REMIND YOU OF YOUR WORTH AND YOUR
COMMITMENT. CONSIDER ALL OF THIS MY SWEET CHILDREN, AND HOLD FAST TO THIS
MOTHER.

AND NOW WITH GREAT TENDERNESS AND SWEETNESS DO I BLESS YOU IN THE NAME OF
THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.

CONSIDERING THESE PETALS FROM HEAVEN, ACCEPT THE BLESSING OF CHRIST,
PRAISING AND THANKING GOD, FOREVER, FOREVER, FOREVER.

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

Then God your Father spoke, "It won't be long now children before your
televisions will be completely useless. This is a serious matter of control and
it (T.V.)
will contain THE CHIP! All will be monitored! Shows and commercials will be
extremely sinful in dress , word and actions.

A new age will begin for, in the near future, all electronics will have to
be bought new or you will need a special device to operate them.

Your homes and vehicles will be control devices used by evil men, controlled
by satan, to lead you astray.

Buy NO NEW gadgets! Buy NO NEW televisions or other electronic appliances,
phones, radios, etc. DO WITHOUT!

I am allowing satan to reign over the earth for a time to test all people.
This must be to fulfill Scripture. Remain with Me! Trust Me! Do not lose
hope! Keep the faith! I promise I WILL NEVER leave My own! Be strong no
matter what and stay strong until the end!

Pray unceasingly! My word is true and all WILL be be fulfilled. AMEN!"

Thursday Adoration ~ February 21, 2008


Jesus Reminds Us To Exert Caution In Our Daily Activities

Today I spent an hour alone with Jesus in meditation and prayed the Rosary
for all those with special needs and intentions. After offering up small
offerings to Jesus and Mary, I knelt and asked Jesus to please cover me with His
most precious blood and prayed saying, Speak Lord (if it be Your will), Your
servant listens.

Jesus responded to my heart with these words; Eileen My child, as a young
boy I often removed My sandals and walked in shallow ponds while splashing at
the water with My feet, yet cautious not to expose My whole body to the
elements.

I want all of My children to remain cautious as they play and experiment
with various types of exposure insuring not to hurt their body, or offend God.

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers
and sisters. Amen.

True and solid holiness consists in receiving, as a specialty of Divine Love, everything that can happen to us


 

September 25, 1995
"Dear Children! Today I invite you to fall in love with the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Adore Him, little children, in your Parishes and in this way you will be united with the entire world. Jesus will become your friend and you will not talk of Him like someone whom you barely know. Unity with Him will be a joy for you and you will become witnesses to the love of Jesus that He has for every creature. Little children, when you adore Jesus you are also close to me. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Pope Pius XII writes of the importance of spending time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, "The Divine Redeemer loves to listen to our entreaties, to speak with us familiarly, and to give us a refuge in His Heart which burns with love for us" (Mediator Dei).


A special request from Its Time

 

We would like to increase our daily emails and we ask you to help us.

Send in the email address of one person you care for.

In this way we could double our daily emails in one day.

If they ask to be removed we do it immediately. 


Pope John Paul II -

Bishop John Magee - former secretary to the Holy Father:
"Without question these apparitions [in Medjugorje] are entirely true."
(Medjugorje Reflections, Bedard, p 85) p 21


Mother Teresa -  

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


Meditations by Padre Pio -

  I cannot at all believe and therefore dispense you from meditation for the sole reason that you feel you gain nothing from it. The holy gift of prayer, my good daughter, is in the right hand of the Saviour, and to the degree to which you are emptied of yourself, that is, emptied of love of body and your own will, and that you continually become more well-rooted in holy humility, the Lord will communicate this to your heart.


 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The difference between the penitent and proud

"Take the other case of those who suffer unjustly but with faith and love of God in their hearts. They may have a sadness in their hearts from pain and torture, but never remorse. They end in penitence or a making up for guilt by bearing patiently the trials of others. This is illustrated in the case of Judas and Peter. There is much similarity between the two, up to a point. Our Lord warned both of them that they would fail; He even told them that each would be a devil."


St. Faustina's diary  

 A light from the morning meditation: Whatever You do with me, Jesus, I will always love You, for I am Yours. Little matter whether You leave me here  or put me somewhere else; I am always Yours.

It is with love that I abandon myself to Your most wise decrees, O God, and Your will, O Lord, is my daily nourishment. You, who know the beatings of my heart, know that it beats for You alone, my Jesus. Nothing can quench my longing for You. I am dying for You, Jesus. When will You take me into Your dwelling place [cf. John. 14:1-3]?       (1145)

As long as we live, the love of God grows in us. Until we die, we ought to strive for the love of God. I have learned and experienced that souls living in love are distinguished in this: that they are greatly enlightened concerning the things of God, both in their own souls and in the souls of others. And simple souls, without an education, are outstanding for their knowledge.       (1191)

Today, I have heard these words: My daughter, delight of My Heart, it is with pleasure that I look into your soul. I bestow many graces only because of you. I also withhold My punishments only because of you. You restrain Me, and I cannot vindicate the claims of My justice. You bind My hands with your love.      (1193)


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. 

 

Feb 22   -  THE CHAIR OF PETER

In the first weeks of the apparitions, the Blessed Virgin kissed an image of the Pope and said :

"He is your father, the spiritual father of all. It is necessary to pray for him. " (First Years November 8,1981)

And in March of 1982, smiling at two large pictures of the Pope that had been brought by a woman from Osijek, Our Lady said : "He is your father, my angels. " (First Years March 2, 1982) In Matthew's gospel, Jesus responds to Peter's faith in these words : And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, an the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven (Mt 16 :18-19)

Reflection :

On the cross, Jesus gave us his mother to be our own. In a like manner, in today's message, Mary in turn points to the Holy Father and gives him to us as "the spiritual father of all. " The Chair of Peter is a gift from God who never leaves us without a shepherd to guide and teach us. It has been the charge of the Popes through the ages to hand down the body of faith which Christ gave to his apostles and followers, to preserve it in its integrity for future generations. Through the calm and turbulence of 2000 years, that legacy of faith has now come down to us and to the present Pope, who in turn will teach and preserve it. No other institution of any kind has so survived the ages, a sign of the Spirit's presence with the church , once called "Mother " to signify its mission of nourishing God's children. As Christians and Catholics, we give thanks today for this priceless legacy and for the successor of Peter who is "father of all. "

Application :

Our Lady says of the Pope in her message, "He is your father…it is necessary to pray for him. " Let us then offer a rosary for the Holy Father today, and remember him in prayer for the rest of the week. Today, simply speak to the Lord with your heart.

Info + Message-Poem via Dominique Biot of France - January 14, 2008

 

Dominique, whom Jesus mentioned in Henri's January 10th message, is Henri's male travelling-companion in this new mission. Henri and Dominique have been receiving messages from Heaven for several years; and in December 2007 Henri received his first public message, while a poem-message of Dominique's was first sent out via internet on January 10. Jesus told Dominique that from time to time, He will inspire him to draw from his Poem-Messages of the past.

 
The French messages via Henri and Dominique are presently being translated to English and will soon be available in other languages.  Several people from different countries are diffusing these messages around the world via their own list and already two public messengers, having a spiritual director, have pronounced themselves in favor of the messages, as well as four priests: two from Canada, one from France and one from Africa; there is spiritual guidance as well as approval of the messages.  - Rita Doucet

MESSAGE-POEM FROM JESUS
via Dominique Biot of
France
 

January 14, 2008

 
JESUS:
 
 
Unity


Your ways are not My ways,
My thoughts are not your thoughts!
O children of My Heart, why
Do you seek to understand, undermine, analyse
That which only My grace can enlighten?
Abandon yourself: you can only
Understand things in their fulfillment ...
It is only in My sacraments and a sincere heart
That you will find unity among you.
From confession draw the strength offered
Again and again to purify you, inspire you: yoke
So precious for your fragile little soul;
And receive Me thus! 
To be in My thoughts, in My ways,
You must leave all to Me, the Savior;
Abandon your torn being and offer yourself
In Faith and Love, to My Heart!
My Church is sick, rebuild Her from the inside!
How I cry, My children, that you are not united,
Each intrepreting, distorting that which only grace,
By My Word and My sacraments, gives! 
Traditionalists, Modernists, Protestants, Orthodox,
Shame on you for dividing yourself in this atheist world!
What a deplorable example from people
Saying they love Me! What an unorthodox example
In front of My children of other religions or pagans!
Do you think they will come to Me, this way?
I need Saints! Be Saints ... !

Dear children, despite the betrayals
Of many, I love you all,
Knowing that the plenitude of My revelation obtains itself
Among the christians worthy of this name.  May all
Listen: Only the example supported by prayer,
Only the evangelization given when a heart
Listens finally at the right moment
After a fruitful suffering, only thus: I come!
It is rare, in your epoch, the souls who receive Me
Apart from that in obedience and uncompromising faith;
All the rest are but vain words,
Vanity of the self-important man ... !
Unity: only one pastor, only one flock
In My Church, soon! But what pain
Could be avoided if you loved more;
Draw from My Body and My Blood a fecundity
Bringing in the renewal! Mingle your blood
With Mine in order to obtain the Kingdom?
Not necessarily martyrdom, only
A spiritual combat where you will be victorious!
Go deep inside yourself
So that your heart burns with Love!
Unity waits for you!

L. began to receive a message from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with

Your Most Precious Blood."

 

Then God your Father spoke, "It won't be long now children before your

televisions will be completely useless. This is a serious matter of control and

it (T.V.)

will contain THE CHIP! All will be monitored! Shows and commercials will be

extremely sinful in dress , word and actions.

 

A new age will begin for, in the near future, all electronics will have to

be bought new or you will need a special device to operate them.

 

Your homes and vehicles will be control devices used by evil men, controlled

by satan, to lead you astray.

 

Buy NO NEW gadgets! Buy NO NEW televisions or other electronic appliances,

phones, radios, etc. DO WITHOUT!

 

I am allowing satan to reign over the earth for a time to test all people.

This must be to fulfill Scripture. Remain with Me! Trust Me! Do not lose

hope! Keep the faith! I promise I WILL NEVER leave My own! Be strong no

matter what and stay strong until the end!

 

Pray unceasingly! My word is true and all WILL be be fulfilled. AMEN!"

Jesus Reminds Us To Exert Caution In Our Daily Activities

 

Today I spent an hour alone with Jesus in meditation and prayed the Rosary

for all those with special needs and intentions. After offering up small

offerings to Jesus and Mary, I knelt and asked Jesus to please cover me with His

most precious blood and prayed saying, Speak Lord (if it be Your will), Your

servant listens.

 

Jesus responded to my heart with these words; Eileen My child, as a young

boy I often removed My sandals and walked in shallow ponds while splashing at

the water with My feet, yet cautious not to expose My whole body to the

elements.

 

I want all of My children to remain cautious as they play and experiment

with various types of exposure insuring not to hurt their body, or offend God.

 

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers

and sisters. Amen.

 

 

 

Medjugorge 21

True and solid holiness consists in receiving, as a specialty of Divine Love, everything that can happen to us

St. Peter Damian, Bishop and Cardinal (Italy) 1007-1072, Feast, February 21

He wrote, "Your heart should beat with confidence in God's love."  "Christ cannot be accused of forgetfulness: Christ does not enjoin things contrary to His commands.  He is the Bread that came down from heaven, which is daily brought to the table of the Church, as a heavenly food, which is broken for the forgiveness of sins, which feeds and nourishes unto life everlasting them that eat the same."  (From our February 2003 newsletter.  The entire text may be viewed at the Newsletters section of our website at www.ACFP2000.com)

At the Visitation [Our Lady] was greeted by St. Elizabeth who recognized the

presence of Jesus veiled in His first tabernacle.  Is it any wonder that Mary

said: 'For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his

name' (Lk 1:49)?  The Lord Himself has come to us.  He is here!  (Excerpts

from the book Bread of Life) 0

Pope John Paul II -

 

Mother Teresa - 

 

We need to be someone for the naked who not only lack clothing but mercy.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

 Be patient in persevering in this holy exercize of meditation and be content with taking small steps, until you have the legs to run, or better still, wings to fly. Be content with obedience which is never an easy matter for a soul which has chosen God as its portion, and resign yourself for now, to being a little bee in a hive, that will soon become a big bee capable of making honey.

 

Always humble yourself lovingly before God and men, because God speaks to those who truly have a humble heart before Him, and He enriches it with His gifts.

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

 

Burnout comes fast for those who are not sincere

 

"When, after multiplying the bread, the multitude wished to make Christ a bread king, Our Lord fled into the mountains alone. Economic kingships last only while the bread is plentiful and the circuses are in the playgrounds. It is always a good policy never to choose the most enthusiastic person in a gathering as a leader. Wait to see how much wood there is for the flame."

 

St. Faustina's diary

 

I will enclose myself in the chalice of Jesus so that I may comfort Him continually. I will do everything within my power to save souls, and I will do it through prayer and suffering.

 

I try always to be a Bethany for Jesus, so that He may rest here after all His labors. In Holy Communion, my union with Jesus is so intimate and incomprehensible that even if I wanted to describe it in writing I could not do so, because I lack the words.       (735)

 

During Mass today, I saw the Lord Jesus, who said to me, Be at peace, My daughter; I see your efforts, which are very pleasing to Me. And the Lord disappeared, and it was time for Holy Communion. After I received Holy Communion, I suddenly saw the Cenacle and in it Jesus and the Apostles. I saw the institution of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Jesus allowed me to penetrate His interior, and I came to know the greatness of His majesty and, at the same time, His great humbling of Himself. The extraordinary light that allowed me to see His majesty revealed to me, at the same time, what was in my own soul.       (757)

 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 

Feb 21 - IT IS UP TO YOU TO CHOOSE

 

In answer to a question by the visionaries about their futures, the Blessed Virgin responded :

 

I would like all of you to become priest and religious, but only if you desire it. You are free. It is up to you to choose… (First Years December 8, 1981).

 

Vocations are also the theme from this passage from Matthew's gospel :

 

When he saw crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, " The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send our laborers into his harvest " (Mt 9 :36-38).

 

Reflection :

 

There are two conditions on which vocations to the priesthood and religious life hinge. The first, as Christ tells us today, is prayer. Through prayer an individual discerns the call of God, and through prayer God's people help to plant the seeds of vocations.

 

Second, the environment and support of a Christian family nourishes these budding vocations. I have a friend from a farming family who was working in a field one day with his father. In the course of their conversation on Ken's future, his father said, "Have you ever thought of the priesthood? " That's all it took. These seven words contained approval and encouragement for such a career, which is what Ken needed to think seriously about it. Today he is a pastor of a parish in his home state of Iowa. I believe my own vocation was inspired by my parent's example of faith as well as a large measure of God's grace. I was also blessed to have as role models several fine Benedictine friars from my home parish. Prayer, family, example, and grace; the essentials needed to bring in the workers of the harvest.

 

Application :

 

How can you encourage a vocation within your own family? Have you ever broached the subject with a friend or acquaintance who might be a promising candidate? The following Prayer for Vocations is response to Christ's request that we pray for more laborers. Try to pray it often :

 

"Lord, you told us that, "The harvest is great but the laborers are few. Pray, therefore, that the Lord of the harvest send laborers to his field. " WE ask you to strengthen us as we follow the vocation to which you have called us. We pray particularly for those called to serve as priests. sisters, brothers and deacons : those whom you have called, those you are calling now, those you will call in the future. Grant them the grace to be open and responsive to your urgent call. We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Amen. the most we can do is open ourselves radically to God-but are pure gifts from the Holy Spirit. Pope Leo XIII wrote, "Whatever we are, that we are by the divine goodness; and this goodness is especially attributed to the Holy Spirit. " But because our God possesses infinite generosity and love, he will fill with the Spirit any emptiness within us, if it has been emptied for him.

 

Application :

 

"Every time we say, `I believe in the Holy Spirit, " writes J.B. Philips, "we mean that we believe there is a living God able and willing to enter human personality and change it. " Today, pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as Our Lady urges us, for she has said, "When you have the Holy Spirit, you have everything. "
