Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 06 - BE CONVERTED!

 

"The sacred host exposed on the altar gives my soul food for `admiration.' I admire my Divine Spouse in His humility but above all His love which has placed Him to be there" (St. Katharine).

The Cross prepares the soul for patience. The Cross opens Heaven and earth together, that is, God and the soul.. The virtue of the Cross is powerful and when it enters into a soul, it has the power to take away the rust caused by earthly things. Not only that but it gives the soul boredom, annoyance and scorn for earthly things, and instead it gives it the taste for Heavenly things. But the virtue of the Cross is recognized by only a few, that is why many despise it.

"Behold hidden within the Sacred Host, O my beloved Jesus, the virtue which I need above all others!  My soul thirst for charity: for that clear crystal water of charity which rests within your Sacred Heart as within a deep unfathomable well.  I come to drink at this pure and holy Source that I may be cleansed, and may be blessed, and may receive life from it, and light and love" (Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God).

Pope John Paul II -

 

Pope John Paul II to Archbishop Angelo Kim Korean Catholic Weekly November 1990

"Poland has been freed from Communism, not by me but by the works of the Blessed Virgin, according to her affirmations at Fatima and Medjugorje.."

Medjugorje and the Church, Sr Emmanuel & Denis Nolan p 20

 

Mother Teresa -

 

You are to be that presence of Christ to each other.

Love each other tenderly as Jesus loves each one of you. Tender love for each other speaks much louder than all the words you can say.

Grace for him who receives it, is light, it is the way, it is nourishment, it is strength, it is comfort. And for him who does not receive it, it is converted into fire and punishment.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

 

Firstly I want to tell you that Jesus needs those who groan with him at human sinfulness and, for this reason, He is leading you along paths filled with suffering, about which you tell me in your letter. But may His charity always be blessed; that charity which knows how to mix the sweet with the bitter and convert the transitory sufferings of life to eternal reward (Letters III, p. 417).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

 

Where your heart is determines your worth!

 

"Desire is to the soul what gravitation is to matter. When we know our desires, we know the direction our soul is taking. If desire is Heavenly, we go upwards, if it is wholly earthly, we go downwards. Desire is like raw material out of which we fashion either our virtues or vices. As Our Lord said: `Where your treasure is, there your heart is also.'"

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

Today I heard the words: In the Old Covenant I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts to My people. Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My Merciful Heart. I use punishment when they themselves force Me to do so; My hand is reluctant to take hold of the sword of justice. Before the Day of Justice I am sending the Day of Mercy. I replied, "O my Jesus, speak to souls Yourself, because my words are insignificant."      (1588)

 

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 6 - BE CONVERTED!

 

The season of Lent has always been a time of repentance, conversion, and penance---a time for turning back to the Lord, renouncing sin, and beginning anew. This is the call of Our Lady today:

 

Be converted! It will be too late when the sing comes. Beforehand, several warnings will be given to the world. Have people hurry to be converted. I need your prayers and your penance.

 

My heart is burning with love for you; it suffices for you to be converted. To ask questions is unimportant. Be converted. Hurry to proclaim it. Tell everyone that it is my wish, and that I do not cease repeating it. Be converted, be converted.

 

It is not difficult for me to suffer for you. I beg you, be converted. I will pray to my Son to spare you the punishment. Be converted with without delay. You do not know the plans of God; you will not be able to know them. You will not know what God will send, nor what he will do. I ask you only to be converted. That is what I wish.

 

Be converted! Be ready for everything, but be converted. That is all I wish to say to you. Renounce everything else. All that is part of conversion. Good bye, and may peace be with you (Locution Jelena & Mirajana April 25, 1983.)

 

Our Lady's message is echoed in the Acts of the Apostles:

 

In this way God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer. Repent therefore, and turn to God so that yours sins may be wiped out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah appointed for you, this is, Jesus (Acts 3:18-20).

 

Reflection:

 

During this Lenten season, let us take the Blessed Mother seriously and seek conversion in renewed prayer, penance, and works of love. This will bring us great joy at Easter and a confirmation of the Gospa's words today: "My heart is burning with love for you."

 

Application:

 

During Lent, set aside extra time for prayer and works of charity. Be active in the special Lenten devotions of your local parish. Go the extra mile for Our Lord and Our Lady.

 

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 4, 2008

 

I want you close to Me

 

Reading: Matthew 5:1-12

 

Dear friends,

 

He (Jesus) went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people. Matthew 4:23

 

I spent my time of prayer this morning with Jesus, Our Lord and Saviour, who said, Melvin, My brother and friend, I love you and bless you. I love all My brothers and sisters living in all parts of the world. I call you again to join Me today in the desert where I am spending forty days in prayer to My Father and at the end I will be tempted by the devil. Come and join Me in spirit as you grow in your loving relationship with Me. Detach yourself from the world and all its allurements. In the desert there is nothing to attract you as there is only sand.

 

My time in the desert was to prepare for My public life. The Father had made it very clear to Me what was My role during the next years. I knew that I was to suffer and die on the cross to redeem you from your sins and on the third day I would rise again from the dead, never to die again. I came to establish the Kingdom of God among you and I proclaimed the Kingdom everywhere I went. All those who believe in Me and are baptized become members of the Kingdom of heaven.

 

Come, My friends, and repent of all your sins and accept Me as your Saviour. Believe all that I have taught when I was in the world, and all these teachings are kept and faithfully preached in My Church at all times. Be men and women of prayer who spend much time with Me in contemplative prayer. Bring great joy to My Heart by coming to contemplation every day. Keep Me company as I live in your heart. Make an extra effort these days to prepare yourselves for the great Feast of Easter that is approaching very fast. We will have to live Holy Week together before we come to Easter. I want you close to Me. I love you all.

John of God - The Holy Wounds

 

 

Our Lady of Medjugorje has asked us to honor the wounds of Jesus:

 

"Dear Children, in a special way this evening, I am calling you during Lent to

honor the wounds of my Son..." (March 22, 1984)

 

"Meditate on the wounds of Jesus. Pray as much as you can in front of the

crucifix." (March 20, 1989)

 

The following prayers in honor of the Holy Wounds of Jesus come from private

revelations to various saints and mystics. They are not part of the infallible

teachings of the Church (who is also the final judge of their validity). The

promises attached to them must not be viewed in a superstitious manner: "If I

just say this the right way I will surely get what I want!" Rather, the

promises reflect the generosity of God, and the prayers should inspire us to be

more fervent in our love for the Holy Wounds of Christ, regardless of any

possible rewards God might sovereignly choose to bestow on us.

+ + + + +

 

Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

It is related in the annals of Clairvaux that St. Bernard asked Our Lord which

was His greatest unrecorded suffering, and He answered: "I had on My Shoulder

while I bore My Cross on the Way of Sorrows, a grievous Wound which was more

painful than the others, and which is not recorded by men. Honor this Wound

with thy devotion, and I will grant thee whatsoever thou does ask through its

virtue and merit. And in regard to all those who shall venerate this wound, I

will remit to them all their venial sins, and will no longer remember their

mortal sins."

 

Prayer to the Shoulder Wound of Christ:

 

Most loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I, a miserable sinner, salute and worship

the most Sacred Wound of Thy Shoulder on which Thou didst bear Thy heavy Cross

which so tore Thy flesh and laid bare Thy Bones as to inflict on Thee an anguish

greater than any other wound of Thy Most Blessed Body. I adore Thee, O Jesus

most sorrowful; I praise and glorify Thee, and give Thee thanks for this most

sacred and painful Wound, beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain, and by the

crushing burden of Thy heavy Cross, to be merciful to me, a sinner, to forgive

me all my mortal and venial sins, and to lead me on towards Heaven along the Way

of Thy Cross. Amen.

(Imprimatur: +Thomas D. Beven, Bishop of Springfield.)

 

 

Saints Gertrude the Great and Mechtilde

Jesus revealed to St. Gertrude that if any one of the following short prayers is

repeated five times in honor of the Five Holy Wounds of the Lord, while

spiritually kissing the Wounds devoutly and adding some prayers or good works,

and offering them through the Sacred Heart of Jesus, they will be as acceptable

to God as the most arduous devotion:

 

Jesus, Savior of the World, have mercy on me. You to Whom nothing is impossible,

bestow mercy to the wretched.

O Christ, Who by Your Cross hast redeemed the world, hear us.

 

The Lord is my strength and my glory; He is my salvation.

 

Hail Jesus, my loving Spouse. I salute You in the ineffable joys of Your

Divinity; I embrace You with the affection of all creatures, and I kiss the

Sacred Wound of Your love.

 

One day, before the Feast of the Ascension, St. Gertrude repeated the following

salutation five thousand, four hundred and sixty-six times:

Glory be to Thee, sweetest, most gentle, most benign, sovereign, transcendent,

effulgent, and ever-peaceful Trinity, for the roseate wounds of Jesus Christ, my

only Love!

After completing these salutations, Our Lord Jesus appeared to her, more

beautiful than the angels, bearing golden flowers on each Wound. With a serene

countenance and tender charity, He said, "Behold in what glory I now appear to

you. I will appear in the same form to you at the hour of your death, and will

cover all the stains of your sins, and adorn you with a glory like that with

which you have adorned My Wounds by your salutations. All of those also who

salute my Wounds with the same devotion shall receive the like favor."

You can say the above salutation 5466 times by praying it five times a day for

three years. You may also add the following oblation which Jesus asked St.

Mechtilde to pray after each division of five:

 

Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, accept this prayer,

with that surpassing love, with which Thou didst endure all the Wounds of Thy

most Holy Body. Have mercy on me, and on all sinners, and on all the Faithful,

living and departed. Grant them grace and mercy, remission of sins, and

everlasting life. Amen.

 

Sister Mary Martha Chambon

Mary Martha Chambon (1841-1907) was a lay Sister of the Monastery of the

Visitation Order in Chambery, France. During her life, Jesus Himself is said to

have revealed to her the following two invocations, giving her the double

mission to adore and invoke the Sacred Wounds unceasingly and to revive this

devotion in the hearts of creatures. She died in the odor of sanctity on 21

March 1907, and the cause for her beatification was introduced in 1937.

 

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the

wounds of our souls.

My Jesus, pardon and mercy through the merits of Thy Sacred Wounds.

 

Here are some statements Jesus is said to have made to Sr. Mary Martha about

this devotion:

"Come to My Wounds with hearts burning with love, and make the aspirations with

great fervor that you may obtain the graces and favors you desire. Come to this

wound in My Side; it is the Wound of Love from which issue flames of fire."

"You must pray that the knowledge of My Sacred Wounds may spread in the world."

(As He said these words, Sr. Mary Martha saw five luminous rays of glory issue

from the Wounds of Christ, and envelop the globe.)

 

"My Holy Wounds sanctify souls and insure their spiritual advancement...Offer Me

your actions united to My Sacred Wounds, and even the smallest will have an

incomprehensible value."

 

"Offer them often to Me for sinners because I thirst for souls. At each word of

the invocation that you utter, I will let a drop of My Blood fall upon the soul

of a sinner."

 

"When you offer My Holy Wounds for sinners, you must not forget to do so for the

souls in Purgatory, as there are but few who think of their relief. The Holy

Wounds are the treasure of treasures for the souls in Purgatory."

 

(Nihil obstat: John A. Schulien, Censor Librorum; Milwaukee, WI, 2 May 1956.

Imprimatur: +Albertus G. Meyer, Archbishop of Milwaukee, 1 May 1956.)

 

 

Chaplet of the Holy Wounds

 

To be said on the Crucifix and the first three beads of an ordinary Rosary:

 

O Jesus, Divine Redeemer, be merciful to us and to the whole world. Amen.

Strong God, holy God, immortal God, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Amen.

 

Grace and mercy, O my Jesus, during present dangers; cover us with Your Precious

Blood. Amen.

 

Eternal Father, grant us mercy through the Blood of Jesus Christ, Your only Son;

grant us mercy, we beseech You. Amen, Amen, Amen.

 

The following prayers, composed by Our Lord, are to be said using the Rosary

beads.

On the large beads:

 

Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the

wounds of our souls.

On the small beads:

My Jesus, pardon and mercy, through the merits of Your Holy Wounds.

 

DEVOTION IN HONOR OF THE FIVE HOLY WOUNDS

 

(Meditations)

 

(1) To the Wound of the Left Foot

 

Holy Wound of the Left Foot of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

the love whereby Thou wast wearied in overtaking me on the way to ruin, and

didst bleed amid the thorns and brambles of my sins. I offer to the Eternal

Father the pain and love of Thy most sacred humanity, in atonement for my sins,

all of which I detest with sincere and bitter contrition.

 

(2) To the Wound of the Right Foot

 

Holy Wound of the Right Foot of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

the love which pierced Thee with such torture and shedding of blood in order to

punish my wanderings and the guilty pleasures I have granted to my passions. I

offer to the Eternal Father all the pain and love of Thy most sacred humanity,

and I pray unto Him for grace to weep over my transgressions with burning tears,

and to enable me to persevere in the good which I have begun, without ever

swerving again from my obedience to the commandments of my God.

 

(3) To the Wound of the Left Hand

 

Holy Wound of the Left Hand of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

having, in Thy love, spared me the scourges and eternal damnation which my sins

have merited. I offer to the Eternal Father the pain and love of Thy most

sacred humanity, and I pray Him to teach me how to turn to good account my span

of life, and bring forth in it worthy fruits of penance, and so disarm the angry

justice of my God.

 

(4) The Wound of the Right Hand

 

Holy Wound of the Right Hand of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

Thy graces lavished on me with such love, in spite of all my miserable

obstinacy. I offer to the Eternal Father all the pain and love of Thy most

sacred humanity, and I pray Him to change my heart and its affections, and make

me do all my actions in accordance with the will of God.

 

(5) To the Wound of the Sacred Side

 

Holy Wound in the Side of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O my

Jesus, for the cruel insult Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee, my Jesus, for the

love which suffered Thy Side and Heart to be pierced, that the last drops of

blood and water might issue forth, making my redemption to abound. I offer to

the Eternal Father this outrage, and the love of Thy most sacred humanity, that

my soul may enter once for all into that most loving Heart, eager and ready to

receive the greatest sinners, and from it may never more depart.

 

 

Promises of Our Lord for those who are Devoted to His Wounds

At each word that you pronounce of the Chaplet of the Holy Wounds, I allow a

drop of My Blood to fall upon the soul of a sinner.

 

Each time that you offer to My Father the merits of My divine Wounds, you win an

immense fortune.

 

Souls that will have contemplated and honored My crown of thorns on earth, will

be My crown of glory in Heaven!

 

I will grant all that is asked of Me through the invocation of My Holy Wounds.

You will obtain everything, because it is through the merit of My Blood, which

is of infinite price. With My Wounds and My Divine Heart, everything can be

obtained.

 

From My Wounds proceed fruits of sanctity. As gold purified in the crucible

becomes more beautiful, so you must put your soul and those of your companions

into My sacred Wounds; there they will become perfected as gold in the furnace.

You can always purify yourself in My Wounds.

 

My Wounds will repair yours. My Wounds will cover all your faults. Those who

honor them will have a true knowledge of Jesus Christ. In meditation on them,

you will always find a new love. My wounds will cover all your sins.

 

Plunge your actions into My Wounds and they will be of value. All your actions,

even the least, soaked in My Blood, will acquire by this alone an infinite merit

and will please My Heart.

 

In offering My Wounds for the conversion of sinners, even though the sinners are

not converted, you will have the same merit before God as if they were.

 

When you have some trouble, something to suffer, quickly place it in My Wounds,

and the pain will be alleviated.

 

This aspiration must often be repeated near the sick: "My Jesus, pardon and

mercy through the merits of Your Holy Wounds!" This prayer will solace soul and

body.

 

A sinner who will say the following prayer will obtain conversion: "Eternal

Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal those of our

souls."

 

There will be no death for the soul that expires in My Holy Wounds; they give

true life.

 

This chaplet is a counterpoise to My justice; it restrains My vengeance.

 

Those who pray with humility and who meditate on My Passion, will one day

participate in the glory of My divine Wounds.

 

The more you will have contemplated My painful Wounds on this earth, the higher

will be your contemplation of them glorious in Heaven.

 

The soul who during life has honored the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ and has

offered them to the Eternal Father for the Souls in Purgatory, will be

accompanied at the moment of death by the Holy Virgin and the angels; and Our

Lord on the Cross, all brilliant in glory, will receive her and crown her.

 

The invocations of the Holy Wounds will obtain an incessant victory for the

Church.

Prayer to Obtain a Favor

 

O great Passion! O deep Wounds! O Blood shed in abundance! O meekness! O God

of meekness, O cruel death, have mercy on me and grant my request if it be for

my salvation.

The Cross prepares the soul for patience. The Cross opens Heaven and earth together, that is, God and the soul.. The virtue of the Cross is powerful and when it enters into a soul, it has the power to take away the rust caused by earthly things. Not only that but it gives the soul boredom, annoyance and scorn for earthly things, and instead it gives it the taste for Heavenly things. But the virtue of the Cross is recognized by only a few, that is why many despise it.

"Behold hidden within the Sacred Host, O my beloved Jesus, the virtue which I need above all others!  My soul thirst for charity: for that clear crystal water of charity which rests within your Sacred Heart as within a deep unfathomable well.  I come to drink at this pure and holy Source that I may be cleansed, and may be blessed, and may receive life from it, and light and love" (Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God).

Mother Teresa -

 

You are to be that presence of Christ to each other.

Love each other tenderly as Jesus loves each one of you. Tender love for each other speaks much louder than all the words you can say.

Grace for him who receives it, is light, it is the way, it is nourishment, it is strength, it is comfort. And for him who does not receive it, it is converted into fire and punishment.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

 

Firstly I want to tell you that Jesus needs those who groan with him at human sinfulness and, for this reason, He is leading you along paths filled with suffering, about which you tell me in your letter. But may His charity always be blessed; that charity which knows how to mix the sweet with the bitter and convert the transitory sufferings of life to eternal reward (Letters III, p. 417).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

 

Where your heart is determines your worth!

 

"Desire is to the soul what gravitation is to matter. When we know our desires, we know the direction our soul is taking. If desire is Heavenly, we go upwards, if it is wholly earthly, we go downwards. Desire is like raw material out of which we fashion either our virtues or vices. As Our Lord said: `Where your treasure is, there your heart is also.'"

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

Today I heard the words: In the Old Covenant I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts to My people. Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My Merciful Heart. I use punishment when they themselves force Me to do so; My hand is reluctant to take hold of the sword of justice. Before the Day of Justice I am sending the Day of Mercy. I replied, "O my Jesus, speak to souls Yourself, because my words are insignificant."      (1588)

 

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 6 - BE CONVERTED!

 

The season of Lent has always been a time of repentance, conversion, and penance---a time for turning back to the Lord, renouncing sin, and beginning anew. This is the call of Our Lady today:

 

Be converted! It will be too late when the sing comes. Beforehand, several warnings will be given to the world. Have people hurry to be converted. I need your prayers and your penance.

 

My heart is burning with love for you; it suffices for you to be converted. To ask questions is unimportant. Be converted. Hurry to proclaim it. Tell everyone that it is my wish, and that I do not cease repeating it. Be converted, be converted.

 

It is not difficult for me to suffer for you. I beg you, be converted. I will pray to my Son to spare you the punishment. Be converted with without delay. You do not know the plans of God; you will not be able to know them. You will not know what God will send, nor what he will do. I ask you only to be converted. That is what I wish.

 

Be converted! Be ready for everything, but be converted. That is all I wish to say to you. Renounce everything else. All that is part of conversion. Good bye, and may peace be with you (Locution Jelena & Mirajana April 25, 1983.)

 

Our Lady's message is echoed in the Acts of the Apostles:

 

In this way God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer. Repent therefore, and turn to God so that yours sins may be wiped out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah appointed for you, this is, Jesus (Acts 3:18-20).

 

Reflection:

 

During this Lenten season, let us take the Blessed Mother seriously and seek conversion in renewed prayer, penance, and works of love. This will bring us great joy at Easter and a confirmation of the Gospa's words today: "My heart is burning with love for you."

 

Application:

 

During Lent, set aside extra time for prayer and works of charity. Be active in the special Lenten devotions of your local parish. Go the extra mile for Our Lord and Our Lady.

 

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 4, 2008

 

I want you close to Me

 

Reading: Matthew 5:1-12

 

Dear friends,

 

He (Jesus) went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people. Matthew 4:23

 

I spent my time of prayer this morning with Jesus, Our Lord and Saviour, who said, Melvin, My brother and friend, I love you and bless you. I love all My brothers and sisters living in all parts of the world. I call you again to join Me today in the desert where I am spending forty days in prayer to My Father and at the end I will be tempted by the devil. Come and join Me in spirit as you grow in your loving relationship with Me. Detach yourself from the world and all its allurements. In the desert there is nothing to attract you as there is only sand.

 

My time in the desert was to prepare for My public life. The Father had made it very clear to Me what was My role during the next years. I knew that I was to suffer and die on the cross to redeem you from your sins and on the third day I would rise again from the dead, never to die again. I came to establish the Kingdom of God among you and I proclaimed the Kingdom everywhere I went. All those who believe in Me and are baptized become members of the Kingdom of heaven.

 

Come, My friends, and repent of all your sins and accept Me as your Saviour. Believe all that I have taught when I was in the world, and all these teachings are kept and faithfully preached in My Church at all times. Be men and women of prayer who spend much time with Me in contemplative prayer. Bring great joy to My Heart by coming to contemplation every day. Keep Me company as I live in your heart. Make an extra effort these days to prepare yourselves for the great Feast of Easter that is approaching very fast. We will have to live Holy Week together before we come to Easter. I want you close to Me. I love you all.

John of God - The Holy Wounds

 

 

Our Lady of Medjugorje has asked us to honor the wounds of Jesus:

 

"Dear Children, in a special way this evening, I am calling you during Lent to

honor the wounds of my Son..." (March 22, 1984)

 

"Meditate on the wounds of Jesus. Pray as much as you can in front of the

crucifix." (March 20, 1989)

 

The following prayers in honor of the Holy Wounds of Jesus come from private

revelations to various saints and mystics. They are not part of the infallible

teachings of the Church (who is also the final judge of their validity). The

promises attached to them must not be viewed in a superstitious manner: "If I

just say this the right way I will surely get what I want!" Rather, the

promises reflect the generosity of God, and the prayers should inspire us to be

more fervent in our love for the Holy Wounds of Christ, regardless of any

possible rewards God might sovereignly choose to bestow on us.

+ + + + +

 

Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

It is related in the annals of Clairvaux that St. Bernard asked Our Lord which

was His greatest unrecorded suffering, and He answered: "I had on My Shoulder

while I bore My Cross on the Way of Sorrows, a grievous Wound which was more

painful than the others, and which is not recorded by men. Honor this Wound

with thy devotion, and I will grant thee whatsoever thou does ask through its

virtue and merit. And in regard to all those who shall venerate this wound, I

will remit to them all their venial sins, and will no longer remember their

mortal sins."

 

Prayer to the Shoulder Wound of Christ:

 

Most loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I, a miserable sinner, salute and worship

the most Sacred Wound of Thy Shoulder on which Thou didst bear Thy heavy Cross

which so tore Thy flesh and laid bare Thy Bones as to inflict on Thee an anguish

greater than any other wound of Thy Most Blessed Body. I adore Thee, O Jesus

most sorrowful; I praise and glorify Thee, and give Thee thanks for this most

sacred and painful Wound, beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain, and by the

crushing burden of Thy heavy Cross, to be merciful to me, a sinner, to forgive

me all my mortal and venial sins, and to lead me on towards Heaven along the Way

of Thy Cross. Amen.

(Imprimatur: +Thomas D. Beven, Bishop of Springfield.)

 

 

Saints Gertrude the Great and Mechtilde

Jesus revealed to St. Gertrude that if any one of the following short prayers is

repeated five times in honor of the Five Holy Wounds of the Lord, while

spiritually kissing the Wounds devoutly and adding some prayers or good works,

and offering them through the Sacred Heart of Jesus, they will be as acceptable

to God as the most arduous devotion:

 

Jesus, Savior of the World, have mercy on me. You to Whom nothing is impossible,

bestow mercy to the wretched.

O Christ, Who by Your Cross hast redeemed the world, hear us.

 

The Lord is my strength and my glory; He is my salvation.

 

Hail Jesus, my loving Spouse. I salute You in the ineffable joys of Your

Divinity; I embrace You with the affection of all creatures, and I kiss the

Sacred Wound of Your love.

 

One day, before the Feast of the Ascension, St. Gertrude repeated the following

salutation five thousand, four hundred and sixty-six times:

Glory be to Thee, sweetest, most gentle, most benign, sovereign, transcendent,

effulgent, and ever-peaceful Trinity, for the roseate wounds of Jesus Christ, my

only Love!

After completing these salutations, Our Lord Jesus appeared to her, more

beautiful than the angels, bearing golden flowers on each Wound. With a serene

countenance and tender charity, He said, "Behold in what glory I now appear to

you. I will appear in the same form to you at the hour of your death, and will

cover all the stains of your sins, and adorn you with a glory like that with

which you have adorned My Wounds by your salutations. All of those also who

salute my Wounds with the same devotion shall receive the like favor."

You can say the above salutation 5466 times by praying it five times a day for

three years. You may also add the following oblation which Jesus asked St.

Mechtilde to pray after each division of five:

 

Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, accept this prayer,

with that surpassing love, with which Thou didst endure all the Wounds of Thy

most Holy Body. Have mercy on me, and on all sinners, and on all the Faithful,

living and departed. Grant them grace and mercy, remission of sins, and

everlasting life. Amen.

 

Sister Mary Martha Chambon

Mary Martha Chambon (1841-1907) was a lay Sister of the Monastery of the

Visitation Order in Chambery, France. During her life, Jesus Himself is said to

have revealed to her the following two invocations, giving her the double

mission to adore and invoke the Sacred Wounds unceasingly and to revive this

devotion in the hearts of creatures. She died in the odor of sanctity on 21

March 1907, and the cause for her beatification was introduced in 1937.

 

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the

wounds of our souls.

My Jesus, pardon and mercy through the merits of Thy Sacred Wounds.

 

Here are some statements Jesus is said to have made to Sr. Mary Martha about

this devotion:

"Come to My Wounds with hearts burning with love, and make the aspirations with

great fervor that you may obtain the graces and favors you desire. Come to this

wound in My Side; it is the Wound of Love from which issue flames of fire."

"You must pray that the knowledge of My Sacred Wounds may spread in the world."

(As He said these words, Sr. Mary Martha saw five luminous rays of glory issue

from the Wounds of Christ, and envelop the globe.)

 

"My Holy Wounds sanctify souls and insure their spiritual advancement...Offer Me

your actions united to My Sacred Wounds, and even the smallest will have an

incomprehensible value."

 

"Offer them often to Me for sinners because I thirst for souls. At each word of

the invocation that you utter, I will let a drop of My Blood fall upon the soul

of a sinner."

 

"When you offer My Holy Wounds for sinners, you must not forget to do so for the

souls in Purgatory, as there are but few who think of their relief. The Holy

Wounds are the treasure of treasures for the souls in Purgatory."

 

(Nihil obstat: John A. Schulien, Censor Librorum; Milwaukee, WI, 2 May 1956.

Imprimatur: +Albertus G. Meyer, Archbishop of Milwaukee, 1 May 1956.)

 

 

Chaplet of the Holy Wounds

 

To be said on the Crucifix and the first three beads of an ordinary Rosary:

 

O Jesus, Divine Redeemer, be merciful to us and to the whole world. Amen.

Strong God, holy God, immortal God, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Amen.

 

Grace and mercy, O my Jesus, during present dangers; cover us with Your Precious

Blood. Amen.

 

Eternal Father, grant us mercy through the Blood of Jesus Christ, Your only Son;

grant us mercy, we beseech You. Amen, Amen, Amen.

 

The following prayers, composed by Our Lord, are to be said using the Rosary

beads.

On the large beads:

 

Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the

wounds of our souls.

On the small beads:

My Jesus, pardon and mercy, through the merits of Your Holy Wounds.

 

DEVOTION IN HONOR OF THE FIVE HOLY WOUNDS

 

(Meditations)

 

(1) To the Wound of the Left Foot

 

Holy Wound of the Left Foot of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

the love whereby Thou wast wearied in overtaking me on the way to ruin, and

didst bleed amid the thorns and brambles of my sins. I offer to the Eternal

Father the pain and love of Thy most sacred humanity, in atonement for my sins,

all of which I detest with sincere and bitter contrition.

 

(2) To the Wound of the Right Foot

 

Holy Wound of the Right Foot of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

the love which pierced Thee with such torture and shedding of blood in order to

punish my wanderings and the guilty pleasures I have granted to my passions. I

offer to the Eternal Father all the pain and love of Thy most sacred humanity,

and I pray unto Him for grace to weep over my transgressions with burning tears,

and to enable me to persevere in the good which I have begun, without ever

swerving again from my obedience to the commandments of my God.

 

(3) To the Wound of the Left Hand

 

Holy Wound of the Left Hand of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

having, in Thy love, spared me the scourges and eternal damnation which my sins

have merited. I offer to the Eternal Father the pain and love of Thy most

sacred humanity, and I pray Him to teach me how to turn to good account my span

of life, and bring forth in it worthy fruits of penance, and so disarm the angry

justice of my God.

 

(4) The Wound of the Right Hand

 

Holy Wound of the Right Hand of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

Thy graces lavished on me with such love, in spite of all my miserable

obstinacy. I offer to the Eternal Father all the pain and love of Thy most

sacred humanity, and I pray Him to change my heart and its affections, and make

me do all my actions in accordance with the will of God.

 

(5) To the Wound of the Sacred Side

 

Holy Wound in the Side of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O my

Jesus, for the cruel insult Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee, my Jesus, for the

love which suffered Thy Side and Heart to be pierced, that the last drops of

blood and water might issue forth, making my redemption to abound. I offer to

the Eternal Father this outrage, and the love of Thy most sacred humanity, that

my soul may enter once for all into that most loving Heart, eager and ready to

receive the greatest sinners, and from it may never more depart.

 

 

Promises of Our Lord for those who are Devoted to His Wounds

At each word that you pronounce of the Chaplet of the Holy Wounds, I allow a

drop of My Blood to fall upon the soul of a sinner.

 

Each time that you offer to My Father the merits of My divine Wounds, you win an

immense fortune.

 

Souls that will have contemplated and honored My crown of thorns on earth, will

be My crown of glory in Heaven!

 

I will grant all that is asked of Me through the invocation of My Holy Wounds.

You will obtain everything, because it is through the merit of My Blood, which

is of infinite price. With My Wounds and My Divine Heart, everything can be

obtained.

 

From My Wounds proceed fruits of sanctity. As gold purified in the crucible

becomes more beautiful, so you must put your soul and those of your companions

into My sacred Wounds; there they will become perfected as gold in the furnace.

You can always purify yourself in My Wounds.

 

My Wounds will repair yours. My Wounds will cover all your faults. Those who

honor them will have a true knowledge of Jesus Christ. In meditation on them,

you will always find a new love. My wounds will cover all your sins.

 

Plunge your actions into My Wounds and they will be of value. All your actions,

even the least, soaked in My Blood, will acquire by this alone an infinite merit

and will please My Heart.

 

In offering My Wounds for the conversion of sinners, even though the sinners are

not converted, you will have the same merit before God as if they were.

 

When you have some trouble, something to suffer, quickly place it in My Wounds,

and the pain will be alleviated.

 

This aspiration must often be repeated near the sick: "My Jesus, pardon and

mercy through the merits of Your Holy Wounds!" This prayer will solace soul and

body.

 

A sinner who will say the following prayer will obtain conversion: "Eternal

Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal those of our

souls."

 

There will be no death for the soul that expires in My Holy Wounds; they give

true life.

 

This chaplet is a counterpoise to My justice; it restrains My vengeance.

 

Those who pray with humility and who meditate on My Passion, will one day

participate in the glory of My divine Wounds.

 

The more you will have contemplated My painful Wounds on this earth, the higher

will be your contemplation of them glorious in Heaven.

 

The soul who during life has honored the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ and has

offered them to the Eternal Father for the Souls in Purgatory, will be

accompanied at the moment of death by the Holy Virgin and the angels; and Our

Lord on the Cross, all brilliant in glory, will receive her and crown her.

 

The invocations of the Holy Wounds will obtain an incessant victory for the

Church.

Love each other tenderly as Jesus loves each one of you. Tender love for each other speaks much louder than all the words you can say.

Grace for him who receives it, is light, it is the way, it is nourishment, it is strength, it is comfort. And for him who does not receive it, it is converted into fire and punishment.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

 

Firstly I want to tell you that Jesus needs those who groan with him at human sinfulness and, for this reason, He is leading you along paths filled with suffering, about which you tell me in your letter. But may His charity always be blessed; that charity which knows how to mix the sweet with the bitter and convert the transitory sufferings of life to eternal reward (Letters III, p. 417).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

 

Where your heart is determines your worth!

 

"Desire is to the soul what gravitation is to matter. When we know our desires, we know the direction our soul is taking. If desire is Heavenly, we go upwards, if it is wholly earthly, we go downwards. Desire is like raw material out of which we fashion either our virtues or vices. As Our Lord said: `Where your treasure is, there your heart is also.'"

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

Today I heard the words: In the Old Covenant I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts to My people. Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My Merciful Heart. I use punishment when they themselves force Me to do so; My hand is reluctant to take hold of the sword of justice. Before the Day of Justice I am sending the Day of Mercy. I replied, "O my Jesus, speak to souls Yourself, because my words are insignificant."      (1588)

 

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 6 - BE CONVERTED!

 

The season of Lent has always been a time of repentance, conversion, and penance---a time for turning back to the Lord, renouncing sin, and beginning anew. This is the call of Our Lady today:

 

Be converted! It will be too late when the sing comes. Beforehand, several warnings will be given to the world. Have people hurry to be converted. I need your prayers and your penance.

 

My heart is burning with love for you; it suffices for you to be converted. To ask questions is unimportant. Be converted. Hurry to proclaim it. Tell everyone that it is my wish, and that I do not cease repeating it. Be converted, be converted.

 

It is not difficult for me to suffer for you. I beg you, be converted. I will pray to my Son to spare you the punishment. Be converted with without delay. You do not know the plans of God; you will not be able to know them. You will not know what God will send, nor what he will do. I ask you only to be converted. That is what I wish.

 

Be converted! Be ready for everything, but be converted. That is all I wish to say to you. Renounce everything else. All that is part of conversion. Good bye, and may peace be with you (Locution Jelena & Mirajana April 25, 1983.)

 

Our Lady's message is echoed in the Acts of the Apostles:

 

In this way God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer. Repent therefore, and turn to God so that yours sins may be wiped out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah appointed for you, this is, Jesus (Acts 3:18-20).

 

Reflection:

 

During this Lenten season, let us take the Blessed Mother seriously and seek conversion in renewed prayer, penance, and works of love. This will bring us great joy at Easter and a confirmation of the Gospa's words today: "My heart is burning with love for you."

 

Application:

 

During Lent, set aside extra time for prayer and works of charity. Be active in the special Lenten devotions of your local parish. Go the extra mile for Our Lord and Our Lady.

 

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 4, 2008

 

I want you close to Me

 

Reading: Matthew 5:1-12

 

Dear friends,

 

He (Jesus) went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people. Matthew 4:23

 

I spent my time of prayer this morning with Jesus, Our Lord and Saviour, who said, Melvin, My brother and friend, I love you and bless you. I love all My brothers and sisters living in all parts of the world. I call you again to join Me today in the desert where I am spending forty days in prayer to My Father and at the end I will be tempted by the devil. Come and join Me in spirit as you grow in your loving relationship with Me. Detach yourself from the world and all its allurements. In the desert there is nothing to attract you as there is only sand.

 

My time in the desert was to prepare for My public life. The Father had made it very clear to Me what was My role during the next years. I knew that I was to suffer and die on the cross to redeem you from your sins and on the third day I would rise again from the dead, never to die again. I came to establish the Kingdom of God among you and I proclaimed the Kingdom everywhere I went. All those who believe in Me and are baptized become members of the Kingdom of heaven.

 

Come, My friends, and repent of all your sins and accept Me as your Saviour. Believe all that I have taught when I was in the world, and all these teachings are kept and faithfully preached in My Church at all times. Be men and women of prayer who spend much time with Me in contemplative prayer. Bring great joy to My Heart by coming to contemplation every day. Keep Me company as I live in your heart. Make an extra effort these days to prepare yourselves for the great Feast of Easter that is approaching very fast. We will have to live Holy Week together before we come to Easter. I want you close to Me. I love you all.

John of God - The Holy Wounds

 

 

Our Lady of Medjugorje has asked us to honor the wounds of Jesus:

 

"Dear Children, in a special way this evening, I am calling you during Lent to

honor the wounds of my Son..." (March 22, 1984)

 

"Meditate on the wounds of Jesus. Pray as much as you can in front of the

crucifix." (March 20, 1989)

 

The following prayers in honor of the Holy Wounds of Jesus come from private

revelations to various saints and mystics. They are not part of the infallible

teachings of the Church (who is also the final judge of their validity). The

promises attached to them must not be viewed in a superstitious manner: "If I

just say this the right way I will surely get what I want!" Rather, the

promises reflect the generosity of God, and the prayers should inspire us to be

more fervent in our love for the Holy Wounds of Christ, regardless of any

possible rewards God might sovereignly choose to bestow on us.

Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

It is related in the annals of Clairvaux that St. Bernard asked Our Lord which

was His greatest unrecorded suffering, and He answered: "I had on My Shoulder

while I bore My Cross on the Way of Sorrows, a grievous Wound which was more

painful than the others, and which is not recorded by men. Honor this Wound

with thy devotion, and I will grant thee whatsoever thou does ask through its

virtue and merit. And in regard to all those who shall venerate this wound, I

will remit to them all their venial sins, and will no longer remember their

mortal sins."

 

Prayer to the Shoulder Wound of Christ:

 

Most loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I, a miserable sinner, salute and worship

the most Sacred Wound of Thy Shoulder on which Thou didst bear Thy heavy Cross

which so tore Thy flesh and laid bare Thy Bones as to inflict on Thee an anguish

greater than any other wound of Thy Most Blessed Body. I adore Thee, O Jesus

most sorrowful; I praise and glorify Thee, and give Thee thanks for this most

sacred and painful Wound, beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain, and by the

crushing burden of Thy heavy Cross, to be merciful to me, a sinner, to forgive

me all my mortal and venial sins, and to lead me on towards Heaven along the Way

of Thy Cross. Amen.

(Imprimatur: +Thomas D. Beven, Bishop of Springfield.)

 

 

Saints Gertrude the Great and Mechtilde

Jesus revealed to St. Gertrude that if any one of the following short prayers is

repeated five times in honor of the Five Holy Wounds of the Lord, while

spiritually kissing the Wounds devoutly and adding some prayers or good works,

and offering them through the Sacred Heart of Jesus, they will be as acceptable

to God as the most arduous devotion:

 

Jesus, Savior of the World, have mercy on me. You to Whom nothing is impossible,

bestow mercy to the wretched.

O Christ, Who by Your Cross hast redeemed the world, hear us.

 

The Lord is my strength and my glory; He is my salvation.

 

Hail Jesus, my loving Spouse. I salute You in the ineffable joys of Your

Divinity; I embrace You with the affection of all creatures, and I kiss the

Sacred Wound of Your love.

 

One day, before the Feast of the Ascension, St. Gertrude repeated the following

salutation five thousand, four hundred and sixty-six times:

Glory be to Thee, sweetest, most gentle, most benign, sovereign, transcendent,

effulgent, and ever-peaceful Trinity, for the roseate wounds of Jesus Christ, my

only Love!

After completing these salutations, Our Lord Jesus appeared to her, more

beautiful than the angels, bearing golden flowers on each Wound. With a serene

countenance and tender charity, He said, "Behold in what glory I now appear to

you. I will appear in the same form to you at the hour of your death, and will

cover all the stains of your sins, and adorn you with a glory like that with

which you have adorned My Wounds by your salutations. All of those also who

salute my Wounds with the same devotion shall receive the like favor."

You can say the above salutation 5466 times by praying it five times a day for

three years. You may also add the following oblation which Jesus asked St.

Mechtilde to pray after each division of five:

 

Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, accept this prayer,

with that surpassing love, with which Thou didst endure all the Wounds of Thy

most Holy Body. Have mercy on me, and on all sinners, and on all the Faithful,

living and departed. Grant them grace and mercy, remission of sins, and

everlasting life. Amen.

 

Sister Mary Martha Chambon

Mary Martha Chambon (1841-1907) was a lay Sister of the Monastery of the

Visitation Order in Chambery, France. During her life, Jesus Himself is said to

have revealed to her the following two invocations, giving her the double

mission to adore and invoke the Sacred Wounds unceasingly and to revive this

devotion in the hearts of creatures. She died in the odor of sanctity on 21

March 1907, and the cause for her beatification was introduced in 1937.

 

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the

wounds of our souls.

My Jesus, pardon and mercy through the merits of Thy Sacred Wounds.

 

Here are some statements Jesus is said to have made to Sr. Mary Martha about

this devotion:

"Come to My Wounds with hearts burning with love, and make the aspirations with

great fervor that you may obtain the graces and favors you desire. Come to this

wound in My Side; it is the Wound of Love from which issue flames of fire."

"You must pray that the knowledge of My Sacred Wounds may spread in the world."

(As He said these words, Sr. Mary Martha saw five luminous rays of glory issue

from the Wounds of Christ, and envelop the globe.)

 

"My Holy Wounds sanctify souls and insure their spiritual advancement...Offer Me

your actions united to My Sacred Wounds, and even the smallest will have an

incomprehensible value."

 

"Offer them often to Me for sinners because I thirst for souls. At each word of

the invocation that you utter, I will let a drop of My Blood fall upon the soul

of a sinner."

 

"When you offer My Holy Wounds for sinners, you must not forget to do so for the

souls in Purgatory, as there are but few who think of their relief. The Holy

Wounds are the treasure of treasures for the souls in Purgatory."

 

(Nihil obstat: John A. Schulien, Censor Librorum; Milwaukee, WI, 2 May 1956.

Imprimatur: +Albertus G. Meyer, Archbishop of Milwaukee, 1 May 1956.)

 

 

Chaplet of the Holy Wounds

 

To be said on the Crucifix and the first three beads of an ordinary Rosary:

 

O Jesus, Divine Redeemer, be merciful to us and to the whole world. Amen.

Strong God, holy God, immortal God, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Amen.

 

Grace and mercy, O my Jesus, during present dangers; cover us with Your Precious

Blood. Amen.

 

Eternal Father, grant us mercy through the Blood of Jesus Christ, Your only Son;

grant us mercy, we beseech You. Amen, Amen, Amen.

 

The following prayers, composed by Our Lord, are to be said using the Rosary

beads.

On the large beads:

 

Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the

wounds of our souls.

On the small beads:

My Jesus, pardon and mercy, through the merits of Your Holy Wounds.

 

DEVOTION IN HONOR OF THE FIVE HOLY WOUNDS

 

(Meditations)

 

(1) To the Wound of the Left Foot

 

Holy Wound of the Left Foot of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

the love whereby Thou wast wearied in overtaking me on the way to ruin, and

didst bleed amid the thorns and brambles of my sins. I offer to the Eternal

Father the pain and love of Thy most sacred humanity, in atonement for my sins,

all of which I detest with sincere and bitter contrition.

 

(2) To the Wound of the Right Foot

 

Holy Wound of the Right Foot of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

the love which pierced Thee with such torture and shedding of blood in order to

punish my wanderings and the guilty pleasures I have granted to my passions. I

offer to the Eternal Father all the pain and love of Thy most sacred humanity,

and I pray unto Him for grace to weep over my transgressions with burning tears,

and to enable me to persevere in the good which I have begun, without ever

swerving again from my obedience to the commandments of my God.

 

(3) To the Wound of the Left Hand

 

Holy Wound of the Left Hand of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

having, in Thy love, spared me the scourges and eternal damnation which my sins

have merited. I offer to the Eternal Father the pain and love of Thy most

sacred humanity, and I pray Him to teach me how to turn to good account my span

of life, and bring forth in it worthy fruits of penance, and so disarm the angry

justice of my God.

 

(4) The Wound of the Right Hand

 

Holy Wound of the Right Hand of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

Thy graces lavished on me with such love, in spite of all my miserable

obstinacy. I offer to the Eternal Father all the pain and love of Thy most

sacred humanity, and I pray Him to change my heart and its affections, and make

me do all my actions in accordance with the will of God.

 

(5) To the Wound of the Sacred Side

 

Holy Wound in the Side of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O my

Jesus, for the cruel insult Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee, my Jesus, for the

love which suffered Thy Side and Heart to be pierced, that the last drops of

blood and water might issue forth, making my redemption to abound. I offer to

the Eternal Father this outrage, and the love of Thy most sacred humanity, that

my soul may enter once for all into that most loving Heart, eager and ready to

receive the greatest sinners, and from it may never more depart.

 

 

Promises of Our Lord for those who are Devoted to His Wounds

At each word that you pronounce of the Chaplet of the Holy Wounds, I allow a

drop of My Blood to fall upon the soul of a sinner.

 

Each time that you offer to My Father the merits of My divine Wounds, you win an

immense fortune.

 

Souls that will have contemplated and honored My crown of thorns on earth, will

be My crown of glory in Heaven!

 

I will grant all that is asked of Me through the invocation of My Holy Wounds.

You will obtain everything, because it is through the merit of My Blood, which

is of infinite price. With My Wounds and My Divine Heart, everything can be

obtained.

 

From My Wounds proceed fruits of sanctity. As gold purified in the crucible

becomes more beautiful, so you must put your soul and those of your companions

into My sacred Wounds; there they will become perfected as gold in the furnace.

You can always purify yourself in My Wounds.

 

My Wounds will repair yours. My Wounds will cover all your faults. Those who

honor them will have a true knowledge of Jesus Christ. In meditation on them,

you will always find a new love. My wounds will cover all your sins.

 

Plunge your actions into My Wounds and they will be of value. All your actions,

even the least, soaked in My Blood, will acquire by this alone an infinite merit

and will please My Heart.

 

In offering My Wounds for the conversion of sinners, even though the sinners are

not converted, you will have the same merit before God as if they were.

 

When you have some trouble, something to suffer, quickly place it in My Wounds,

and the pain will be alleviated.

 

This aspiration must often be repeated near the sick: "My Jesus, pardon and

mercy through the merits of Your Holy Wounds!" This prayer will solace soul and

body.

 

A sinner who will say the following prayer will obtain conversion: "Eternal

Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal those of our

souls."

 

There will be no death for the soul that expires in My Holy Wounds; they give

true life.

 

This chaplet is a counterpoise to My justice; it restrains My vengeance.

 

Those who pray with humility and who meditate on My Passion, will one day

participate in the glory of My divine Wounds.

 

The more you will have contemplated My painful Wounds on this earth, the higher

will be your contemplation of them glorious in Heaven.

 

The soul who during life has honored the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ and has

offered them to the Eternal Father for the Souls in Purgatory, will be

accompanied at the moment of death by the Holy Virgin and the angels; and Our

Lord on the Cross, all brilliant in glory, will receive her and crown her.

 

The invocations of the Holy Wounds will obtain an incessant victory for the

Church.

 

(Nihil obstat: Rev. Terry Tekippe, Censor Librorum. Imprimatur: + Most Rev.

Francis B. Shulte, Archbishop of New Orleans, 29 December 1989.)

 

Prayer to Obtain a Favor

 

O great Passion! O deep Wounds! O Blood shed in abundance! O meekness! O God

of meekness, O cruel death, have mercy on me and grant my request if it be for

my salvation.

The Cross prepares the soul for patience. The Cross opens Heaven and earth together, that is, God and the soul.. The virtue of the Cross is powerful and when it enters into a soul, it has the power to take away the rust caused by earthly things. Not only that but it gives the soul boredom, annoyance and scorn for earthly things, and instead it gives it the taste for Heavenly things. But the virtue of the Cross is recognized by only a few, that is why many despise it.

"Behold hidden within the Sacred Host, O my beloved Jesus, the virtue which I need above all others!  My soul thirst for charity: for that clear crystal water of charity which rests within your Sacred Heart as within a deep unfathomable well.  I come to drink at this pure and holy Source that I may be cleansed, and may be blessed, and may receive life from it, and light and love" (Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God).

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 4, 2008

 

I want you close to Me

 

Reading: Matthew 5:1-12

 

Dear friends,

 

He (Jesus) went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people. Matthew 4:23

 

I spent my time of prayer this morning with Jesus, Our Lord and Saviour, who said, Melvin, My brother and friend, I love you and bless you. I love all My brothers and sisters living in all parts of the world. I call you again to join Me today in the desert where I am spending forty days in prayer to My Father and at the end I will be tempted by the devil. Come and join Me in spirit as you grow in your loving relationship with Me. Detach yourself from the world and all its allurements. In the desert there is nothing to attract you as there is only sand.

 

My time in the desert was to prepare for My public life. The Father had made it very clear to Me what was My role during the next years. I knew that I was to suffer and die on the cross to redeem you from your sins and on the third day I would rise again from the dead, never to die again. I came to establish the Kingdom of God among you and I proclaimed the Kingdom everywhere I went. All those who believe in Me and are baptized become members of the Kingdom of heaven.

 

Come, My friends, and repent of all your sins and accept Me as your Saviour. Believe all that I have taught when I was in the world, and all these teachings are kept and faithfully preached in My Church at all times. Be men and women of prayer who spend much time with Me in contemplative prayer. Bring great joy to My Heart by coming to contemplation every day. Keep Me company as I live in your heart. Make an extra effort these days to prepare yourselves for the great Feast of Easter that is approaching very fast. We will have to live Holy Week together before we come to Easter.

John of God - The Holy Wounds

 

 

Our Lady of Medjugorje has asked us to honor the wounds of Jesus:

 

"Dear Children, in a special way this evening, I am calling you during Lent to

honor the wounds of my Son..." (March 22, 1984)

 

"Meditate on the wounds of Jesus. Pray as much as you can in front of the

crucifix." (March 20, 1989)

 

The following prayers in honor of the Holy Wounds of Jesus come from private

revelations to various saints and mystics. They are not part of the infallible

teachings of the Church (who is also the final judge of their validity). The

promises attached to them must not be viewed in a superstitious manner: "If I

just say this the right way I will surely get what I want!" Rather, the

promises reflect the generosity of God, and the prayers should inspire us to be

more fervent in our love for the Holy Wounds of Christ, regardless of any

possible rewards God might sovereignly choose to bestow on us.

Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

It is related in the annals of Clairvaux that St. Bernard asked Our Lord which

was His greatest unrecorded suffering, and He answered: "I had on My Shoulder

while I bore My Cross on the Way of Sorrows, a grievous Wound which was more

painful than the others, and which is not recorded by men. Honor this Wound

with thy devotion, and I will grant thee whatsoever thou does ask through its

virtue and merit. And in regard to all those who shall venerate this wound, I

will remit to them all their venial sins, and will no longer remember their

mortal sins."

 

Prayer to the Shoulder Wound of Christ:

 

Most loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I, a miserable sinner, salute and worship

the most Sacred Wound of Thy Shoulder on which Thou didst bear Thy heavy Cross

which so tore Thy flesh and laid bare Thy Bones as to inflict on Thee an anguish

greater than any other wound of Thy Most Blessed Body. I adore Thee, O Jesus

most sorrowful; I praise and glorify Thee, and give Thee thanks for this most

sacred and painful Wound, beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain, and by the

crushing burden of Thy heavy Cross, to be merciful to me, a sinner, to forgive

me all my mortal and venial sins, and to lead me on towards Heaven along the Way

of Thy Cross. Amen.

(Imprimatur: +Thomas D. Beven, Bishop of Springfield.)

 

 

Saints Gertrude the Great and Mechtilde

Jesus revealed to St. Gertrude that if any one of the following short prayers is

repeated five times in honor of the Five Holy Wounds of the Lord, while

spiritually kissing the Wounds devoutly and adding some prayers or good works,

and offering them through the Sacred Heart of Jesus, they will be as acceptable

to God as the most arduous devotion:

 

Jesus, Savior of the World, have mercy on me. You to Whom nothing is impossible,

bestow mercy to the wretched.

O Christ, Who by Your Cross hast redeemed the world, hear us.

 

The Lord is my strength and my glory; He is my salvation.

 

Hail Jesus, my loving Spouse. I salute You in the ineffable joys of Your

Divinity; I embrace You with the affection of all creatures, and I kiss the

Sacred Wound of Your love.

 

One day, before the Feast of the Ascension, St. Gertrude repeated the following

salutation five thousand, four hundred and sixty-six times:

Glory be to Thee, sweetest, most gentle, most benign, sovereign, transcendent,

effulgent, and ever-peaceful Trinity, for the roseate wounds of Jesus Christ, my

only Love!

After completing these salutations, Our Lord Jesus appeared to her, more

beautiful than the angels, bearing golden flowers on each Wound. With a serene

countenance and tender charity, He said, "Behold in what glory I now appear to

you. I will appear in the same form to you at the hour of your death, and will

cover all the stains of your sins, and adorn you with a glory like that with

which you have adorned My Wounds by your salutations. All of those also who

salute my Wounds with the same devotion shall receive the like favor."

You can say the above salutation 5466 times by praying it five times a day for

three years. You may also add the following oblation which Jesus asked St.

Mechtilde to pray after each division of five:

 

Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, accept this prayer,

with that surpassing love, with which Thou didst endure all the Wounds of Thy

most Holy Body. Have mercy on me, and on all sinners, and on all the Faithful,

living and departed. Grant them grace and mercy, remission of sins, and

everlasting life. Amen.

 

Sister Mary Martha Chambon

Mary Martha Chambon (1841-1907) was a lay Sister of the Monastery of the

Visitation Order in Chambery, France. During her life, Jesus Himself is said to

have revealed to her the following two invocations, giving her the double

mission to adore and invoke the Sacred Wounds unceasingly and to revive this

devotion in the hearts of creatures. She died in the odor of sanctity on 21

March 1907, and the cause for her beatification was introduced in 1937.

 

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the

wounds of our souls.

My Jesus, pardon and mercy through the merits of Thy Sacred Wounds.

 

Here are some statements Jesus is said to have made to Sr. Mary Martha about

this devotion:

"Come to My Wounds with hearts burning with love, and make the aspirations with

great fervor that you may obtain the graces and favors you desire. Come to this

wound in My Side; it is the Wound of Love from which issue flames of fire."

"You must pray that the knowledge of My Sacred Wounds may spread in the world."

(As He said these words, Sr. Mary Martha saw five luminous rays of glory issue

from the Wounds of Christ, and envelop the globe.)

 

"My Holy Wounds sanctify souls and insure their spiritual advancement...Offer Me

your actions united to My Sacred Wounds, and even the smallest will have an

incomprehensible value."

 

"Offer them often to Me for sinners because I thirst for souls. At each word of

the invocation that you utter, I will let a drop of My Blood fall upon the soul

of a sinner."

 

"When you offer My Holy Wounds for sinners, you must not forget to do so for the

souls in Purgatory, as there are but few who think of their relief. The Holy

Wounds are the treasure of treasures for the souls in Purgatory."

 

(Nihil obstat: John A. Schulien, Censor Librorum; Milwaukee, WI, 2 May 1956.

Imprimatur: +Albertus G. Meyer, Archbishop of Milwaukee, 1 May 1956.)

 

 

Chaplet of the Holy Wounds

 

To be said on the Crucifix and the first three beads of an ordinary Rosary:

 

O Jesus, Divine Redeemer, be merciful to us and to the whole world. Amen.

Strong God, holy God, immortal God, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Amen.

 

Grace and mercy, O my Jesus, during present dangers; cover us with Your Precious

Blood. Amen.

 

Eternal Father, grant us mercy through the Blood of Jesus Christ, Your only Son;

grant us mercy, we beseech You. Amen, Amen, Amen.

 

The following prayers, composed by Our Lord, are to be said using the Rosary

beads.

On the large beads:

 

Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the

wounds of our souls.

On the small beads:

My Jesus, pardon and mercy, through the merits of Your Holy Wounds.

 

DEVOTION IN HONOR OF THE FIVE HOLY WOUNDS

 

(Meditations)

 

(1) To the Wound of the Left Foot

 

Holy Wound of the Left Foot of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

the love whereby Thou wast wearied in overtaking me on the way to ruin, and

didst bleed amid the thorns and brambles of my sins. I offer to the Eternal

Father the pain and love of Thy most sacred humanity, in atonement for my sins,

all of which I detest with sincere and bitter contrition.

 

(2) To the Wound of the Right Foot

 

Holy Wound of the Right Foot of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

the love which pierced Thee with such torture and shedding of blood in order to

punish my wanderings and the guilty pleasures I have granted to my passions. I

offer to the Eternal Father all the pain and love of Thy most sacred humanity,

and I pray unto Him for grace to weep over my transgressions with burning tears,

and to enable me to persevere in the good which I have begun, without ever

swerving again from my obedience to the commandments of my God.

 

(3) To the Wound of the Left Hand

 

Holy Wound of the Left Hand of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

having, in Thy love, spared me the scourges and eternal damnation which my sins

have merited. I offer to the Eternal Father the pain and love of Thy most

sacred humanity, and I pray Him to teach me how to turn to good account my span

of life, and bring forth in it worthy fruits of penance, and so disarm the angry

justice of my God.

 

(4) The Wound of the Right Hand

 

Holy Wound of the Right Hand of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

Thy graces lavished on me with such love, in spite of all my miserable

obstinacy. I offer to the Eternal Father all the pain and love of Thy most

sacred humanity, and I pray Him to change my heart and its affections, and make

me do all my actions in accordance with the will of God.

 

(5) To the Wound of the Sacred Side

 

Holy Wound in the Side of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O my

Jesus, for the cruel insult Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee, my Jesus, for the

love which suffered Thy Side and Heart to be pierced, that the last drops of

blood and water might issue forth, making my redemption to abound. I offer to

the Eternal Father this outrage, and the love of Thy most sacred humanity, that

my soul may enter once for all into that most loving Heart, eager and ready to

receive the greatest sinners, and from it may never more depart.

 

 

Promises of Our Lord for those who are Devoted to His Wounds

At each word that you pronounce of the Chaplet of the Holy Wounds, I allow a

drop of My Blood to fall upon the soul of a sinner.

 

Each time that you offer to My Father the merits of My divine Wounds, you win an

immense fortune.

 

Souls that will have contemplated and honored My crown of thorns on earth, will

be My crown of glory in Heaven!

 

I will grant all that is asked of Me through the invocation of My Holy Wounds.

You will obtain everything, because it is through the merit of My Blood, which

is of infinite price. With My Wounds and My Divine Heart, everything can be

obtained.

 

From My Wounds proceed fruits of sanctity. As gold purified in the crucible

becomes more beautiful, so you must put your soul and those of your companions

into My sacred Wounds; there they will become perfected as gold in the furnace.

You can always purify yourself in My Wounds.

 

My Wounds will repair yours. My Wounds will cover all your faults. Those who

honor them will have a true knowledge of Jesus Christ. In meditation on them,

you will always find a new love. My wounds will cover all your sins.

 

Plunge your actions into My Wounds and they will be of value. All your actions,

even the least, soaked in My Blood, will acquire by this alone an infinite merit

and will please My Heart.

 

In offering My Wounds for the conversion of sinners, even though the sinners are

not converted, you will have the same merit before God as if they were.

 

When you have some trouble, something to suffer, quickly place it in My Wounds,

and the pain will be alleviated.

 

This aspiration must often be repeated near the sick: "My Jesus, pardon and

mercy through the merits of Your Holy Wounds!" This prayer will solace soul and

body.

 

A sinner who will say the following prayer will obtain conversion: "Eternal

Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal those of our

souls."

 

There will be no death for the soul that expires in My Holy Wounds; they give

true life.

 

This chaplet is a counterpoise to My justice; it restrains My vengeance.

 

Those who pray with humility and who meditate on My Passion, will one day

participate in the glory of My divine Wounds.

 

The more you will have contemplated My painful Wounds on this earth, the higher

will be your contemplation of them glorious in Heaven.

 

The soul who during life has honored the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ and has

offered them to the Eternal Father for the Souls in Purgatory, will be

accompanied at the moment of death by the Holy Virgin and the angels; and Our

Lord on the Cross, all brilliant in glory, will receive her and crown her.

 

The invocations of the Holy Wounds will obtain an incessant victory for the

Church.

 

(Nihil obstat: Rev. Terry Tekippe, Censor Librorum. Imprimatur: + Most Rev.

Francis B. Shulte, Archbishop of New Orleans, 29 December 1989.)

 

Prayer to Obtain a Favor

 

O great Passion! O deep Wounds! O Blood shed in abundance! O meekness! O God

of meekness, O cruel death, have mercy on me and grant my request if it be for

my salvation.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 06 - BE CONVERTED!

The Cross prepares the soul for patience. The Cross opens Heaven and earth together, that is, God and the soul.. The virtue of the Cross is powerful and when it enters into a soul, it has the power to take away the rust caused by earthly things. Not only that but it gives the soul boredom, annoyance and scorn for earthly things, and instead it gives it the taste for Heavenly things. But the virtue of the Cross is recognized by only a few, that is why many despise it.

"Behold hidden within the Sacred Host, O my beloved Jesus, the virtue which I need above all others!  My soul thirst for charity: for that clear crystal water of charity which rests within your Sacred Heart as within a deep unfathomable well.  I come to drink at this pure and holy Source that I may be cleansed, and may be blessed, and may receive life from it, and light and love" (Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God).

Pope John Paul II -

 

Pope John Paul II to Archbishop Angelo Kim Korean Catholic Weekly November 1990

"Poland has been freed from Communism, not by me but by the works of the Blessed Virgin, according to her affirmations at Fatima and Medjugorje.."

Mother Teresa -

 

You are to be that presence of Christ to each other.

Love each other tenderly as Jesus loves each one of you. Tender love for each other speaks much louder than all the words you can say.

Grace for him who receives it, is light, it is the way, it is nourishment, it is strength, it is comfort. And for him who does not receive it, it is converted into fire and punishment.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

 

Firstly I want to tell you that Jesus needs those who groan with him at human sinfulness and, for this reason, He is leading you along paths filled with suffering, about which you tell me in your letter. But may His charity always be blessed; that charity which knows how to mix the sweet with the bitter and convert the transitory sufferings of life to eternal reward (Letters III, p. 417).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

 

Where your heart is determines your worth!

 

"Desire is to the soul what gravitation is to matter. When we know our desires, we know the direction our soul is taking. If desire is Heavenly, we go upwards, if it is wholly earthly, we go downwards. Desire is like raw material out of which we fashion either our virtues or vices. As Our Lord said: `Where your treasure is, there your heart is also.'"

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

Today I heard the words: In the Old Covenant I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts to My people. Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My Merciful Heart. I use punishment when they themselves force Me to do so; My hand is reluctant to take hold of the sword of justice. Before the Day of Justice I am sending the Day of Mercy. I replied, "O my Jesus, speak to souls Yourself, because my words are insignificant."      (1588)

 

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 6 - BE CONVERTED!

 

The season of Lent has always been a time of repentance, conversion, and penance---a time for turning back to the Lord, renouncing sin, and beginning anew. This is the call of Our Lady today:

 

Be converted! It will be too late when the sing comes. Beforehand, several warnings will be given to the world. Have people hurry to be converted. I need your prayers and your penance.

 

My heart is burning with love for you; it suffices for you to be converted. To ask questions is unimportant. Be converted. Hurry to proclaim it. Tell everyone that it is my wish, and that I do not cease repeating it. Be converted, be converted.

 

It is not difficult for me to suffer for you. I beg you, be converted. I will pray to my Son to spare you the punishment. Be converted with without delay. You do not know the plans of God; you will not be able to know them. You will not know what God will send, nor what he will do. I ask you only to be converted. That is what I wish.

 

Be converted! Be ready for everything, but be converted. That is all I wish to say to you. Renounce everything else. All that is part of conversion. Good bye, and may peace be with you (Locution Jelena & Mirajana April 25, 1983.)

 

Our Lady's message is echoed in the Acts of the Apostles:

 

In this way God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer. Repent therefore, and turn to God so that yours sins may be wiped out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah appointed for you, this is, Jesus (Acts 3:18-20).

 

Reflection:

 

During this Lenten season, let us take the Blessed Mother seriously and seek conversion in renewed prayer, penance, and works of love. This will bring us great joy at Easter and a confirmation of the Gospa's words today: "My heart is burning with love for you."

 

Application:

 

During Lent, set aside extra time for prayer and works of charity. Be active in the special Lenten devotions of your local parish. Go the extra mile for Our Lord and Our Lady.

 

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 4, 2008

 

I want you close to Me

 

Reading: Matthew 5:1-12

 

Dear friends,

 

He (Jesus) went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people. Matthew 4:23

 

I spent my time of prayer this morning with Jesus, Our Lord and Saviour, who said, Melvin, My brother and friend, I love you and bless you. I love all My brothers and sisters living in all parts of the world. I call you again to join Me today in the desert where I am spending forty days in prayer to My Father and at the end I will be tempted by the devil. Come and join Me in spirit as you grow in your loving relationship with Me. Detach yourself from the world and all its allurements. In the desert there is nothing to attract you as there is only sand.

 

My time in the desert was to prepare for My public life. The Father had made it very clear to Me what was My role during the next years. I knew that I was to suffer and die on the cross to redeem you from your sins and on the third day I would rise again from the dead, never to die again. I came to establish the Kingdom of God among you and I proclaimed the Kingdom everywhere I went. All those who believe in Me and are baptized become members of the Kingdom of heaven.

 

Come, My friends, and repent of all your sins and accept Me as your Saviour. Believe all that I have taught when I was in the world, and all these teachings are kept and faithfully preached in My Church at all times. Be men and women of prayer who spend much time with Me in contemplative prayer. Bring great joy to My Heart by coming to contemplation every day. Keep Me company as I live in your heart. Make an extra effort these days to prepare yourselves for the great Feast of Easter that is approaching very fast. We will have to live Holy Week together before we come to Easter. I want you close to Me. I love you all.

John of God - The Holy Wounds

 

 

Our Lady of Medjugorje has asked us to honor the wounds of Jesus:

 

"Dear Children, in a special way this evening, I am calling you during Lent to

honor the wounds of my Son..." (March 22, 1984)

 

"Meditate on the wounds of Jesus. Pray as much as you can in front of the

crucifix." (March 20, 1989)

 

The following prayers in honor of the Holy Wounds of Jesus come from private

revelations to various saints and mystics. They are not part of the infallible

teachings of the Church (who is also the final judge of their validity). The

promises attached to them must not be viewed in a superstitious manner: "If I

just say this the right way I will surely get what I want!" Rather, the

promises reflect the generosity of God, and the prayers should inspire us to be

will remit to them all their venial sins, and will no longer remember their

mortal sins."

 

Prayer to the Shoulder Wound of Christ:

 

Most loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I, a miserable sinner, salute and worship

the most Sacred Wound of Thy Shoulder on which Thou didst bear Thy heavy Cross

which so tore Thy flesh and laid bare Thy Bones as to inflict on Thee an anguish

greater than any other wound of Thy Most Blessed Body. I adore Thee, O Jesus

most sorrowful; I praise and glorify Thee, and give Thee thanks for this most

sacred and painful Wound, beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain, and by the

crushing burden of Thy heavy Cross, to be merciful to me, a sinner, to forgive

me all my mortal and venial sins, and to lead me on towards Heaven along the Way

of Thy Cross. Amen.

Saints Gertrude the Great and Mechtilde

Jesus revealed to St. Gertrude that if any one of the following short prayers is

repeated five times in honor of the Five Holy Wounds of the Lord, while

spiritually kissing the Wounds devoutly and adding some prayers or good works,

and offering them through the Sacred Heart of Jesus, they will be as acceptable

to God as the most arduous devotion:

 

Jesus, Savior of the World, have mercy on me. You to Whom nothing is impossible,

bestow mercy to the wretched.

O Christ, Who by Your Cross hast redeemed the world, hear us.

 

The Lord is my strength and my glory; He is my salvation.

 

Hail Jesus, my loving Spouse. I salute You in the ineffable joys of Your

Divinity; I embrace You with the affection of all creatures, and I kiss the

Sacred Wound of Your love.

 

One day, before the Feast of the Ascension, St. Gertrude repeated the following

salutation five thousand, four hundred and sixty-six times:

Glory be to Thee, sweetest, most gentle, most benign, sovereign, transcendent,

effulgent, and ever-peaceful Trinity, for the roseate wounds of Jesus Christ, my

only Love!

After completing these salutations, Our Lord Jesus appeared to her, more

beautiful than the angels, bearing golden flowers on each Wound. With a serene

countenance and tender charity, He said, "Behold in what glory I now appear to

you. I will appear in the same form to you at the hour of your death, and will

cover all the stains of your sins, and adorn you with a glory like that with

which you have adorned My Wounds by your salutations. All of those also who

salute my Wounds with the same devotion shall receive the like favor."

You can say the above salutation 5466 times by praying it five times a day for

three years. You may also add the following oblation which Jesus asked St.

Mechtilde to pray after each division of five:

 

Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, accept this prayer,

with that surpassing love, with which Thou didst endure all the Wounds of Thy

most Holy Body. Have mercy on me, and on all sinners, and on all the Faithful,

living and departed. Grant them grace and mercy, remission of sins, and

everlasting life. Amen.

The following prayers, composed by Our Lord, are to be said using the Rosary

beads.

On the large beads:

 

Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the

wounds of our souls.

On the small beads:

My Jesus, pardon and mercy, through the merits of Your Holy Wounds.

 

DEVOTION IN HONOR OF THE FIVE HOLY WOUNDS

 

(Meditations)

 

(1) To the Wound of the Left Foot

 

Holy Wound of the Left Foot of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

the love whereby Thou wast wearied in overtaking me on the way to ruin, and

didst bleed amid the thorns and brambles of my sins. I offer to the Eternal

Father the pain and love of Thy most sacred humanity, in atonement for my sins,

all of which I detest with sincere and bitter contrition.

 

(2) To the Wound of the Right Foot

 

Holy Wound of the Right Foot of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

the love which pierced Thee with such torture and shedding of blood in order to

punish my wanderings and the guilty pleasures I have granted to my passions. I

offer to the Eternal Father all the pain and love of Thy most sacred humanity,

and I pray unto Him for grace to weep over my transgressions with burning tears,

and to enable me to persevere in the good which I have begun, without ever

swerving again from my obedience to the commandments of my God.

 

(3) To the Wound of the Left Hand

 

Holy Wound of the Left Hand of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

having, in Thy love, spared me the scourges and eternal damnation which my sins

have merited. I offer to the Eternal Father the pain and love of Thy most

sacred humanity, and I pray Him to teach me how to turn to good account my span

of life, and bring forth in it worthy fruits of penance, and so disarm the angry

justice of my God.

 

(4) The Wound of the Right Hand

 

Holy Wound of the Right Hand of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O

my Jesus, for that most bitter pain which Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee for

Thy graces lavished on me with such love, in spite of all my miserable

obstinacy. I offer to the Eternal Father all the pain and love of Thy most

sacred humanity, and I pray Him to change my heart and its affections, and make

me do all my actions in accordance with the will of God.

 

(5) To the Wound of the Sacred Side

 

Holy Wound in the Side of my Jesus, I adore Thee! I compassionate Thee, O my

Jesus, for the cruel insult Thou didst suffer. I thank Thee, my Jesus, for the

love which suffered Thy Side and Heart to be pierced, that the last drops of

blood and water might issue forth, making my redemption to abound. I offer to

the Eternal Father this outrage, and the love of Thy most sacred humanity, that

my soul may enter once for all into that most loving Heart, eager and ready to

receive the greatest sinners, and from it may never more depart.

 

 

Promises of Our Lord for those who are Devoted to His Wounds

At each word that you pronounce of the Chaplet of the Holy Wounds, I allow a

drop of My Blood to fall upon the soul of a sinner.

 

Each time that you offer to My Father the merits of My divine Wounds, you win an

immense fortune.

 

Souls that will have contemplated and honored My crown of thorns on earth, will

be My crown of glory in Heaven!

 

I will grant all that is asked of Me through the invocation of My Holy Wounds.

You will obtain everything, because it is through the merit of My Blood, which

is of infinite price. With My Wounds and My Divine Heart, everything can be

obtained.

 

From My Wounds proceed fruits of sanctity. As gold purified in the crucible

becomes more beautiful, so you must put your soul and those of your companions

into My sacred Wounds; there they will become perfected as gold in the furnace.

You can always purify yourself in My Wounds.

 

My Wounds will repair yours. My Wounds will cover all your faults. Those who

honor them will have a true knowledge of Jesus Christ. In meditation on them,

you will always find a new love. My wounds will cover all your sins.

 

Plunge your actions into My Wounds and they will be of value. All your actions,

even the least, soaked in My Blood, will acquire by this alone an infinite merit

and will please My Heart.

 

In offering My Wounds for the conversion of sinners, even though the sinners are

not converted, you will have the same merit before God as if they were.

 

When you have some trouble, something to suffer, quickly place it in My Wounds,

and the pain will be alleviated.

 

This aspiration must often be repeated near the sick: "My Jesus, pardon and

mercy through the merits of Your Holy Wounds!" This prayer will solace soul and

body.

 

A sinner who will say the following prayer will obtain conversion: "Eternal

Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal those of our

souls."

 

There will be no death for the soul that expires in My Holy Wounds; they give

true life.

 

This chaplet is a counterpoise to My justice; it restrains My vengeance.

 

Those who pray with humility and who meditate on My Passion, will one day

participate in the glory of My divine Wounds.

 

The more you will have contemplated My painful Wounds on this earth, the higher

will be your contemplation of them glorious in Heaven.

 

The soul who during life has honored the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ and has

offered them to the Eternal Father for the Souls in Purgatory, will be

accompanied at the moment of death by the Holy Virgin and the angels; and Our

Lord on the Cross, all brilliant in glory, will receive her and crown her.

 

The invocations of the Holy Wounds will obtain an incessant victory for the

Church.

 

(Nihil obstat: Rev. Terry Tekippe, Censor Librorum. Imprimatur: + Most Rev.

Francis B. Shulte, Archbishop of New Orleans, 29 December 1989.)

 

Prayer to Obtain a Favor

 

O great Passion! O deep Wounds! O Blood shed in abundance! O meekness! O God

of meekness, O cruel death, have mercy on me and grant my request if it be for

my salvation.

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 3, 2008

 

Remain always close to your Father

 

Reading: Isaiah 40:1-11

 

Dear friends,

 

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear Psalm 27:1

 

My time of prayer this morning was spent with God the Father who said, Melvin, I love you and bless you. I hold you in My Heart together with all My sons and daughters living in every country of the world. My Heart is full of joy when you open your heart full of love to Jesus and to your Father in heaven. You know that I am everywhere and if you believe in Me, I am in your heart closer to you than your own breath. If you live close to Me, there is no reason to fear for I will protect you.

 

This is the time of Lent, a time of repentance and of coming close to Jesus, My Son. He spent forty days in the desert without eating or drinking and these days were spent with Me. Only at the end was He tempted by the devil and Jesus rejected him. I call you to fight the good fight and to defeat the evil one. I am your Father who loves you and provides for you. I am your Creator who gave you life and all your gifts. With Jesus, My Son, you can defeat your enemy as He did, but this means that you are always united to Him. Alone you will fail utterly so do not let the enemy have the upper hand, but keep close to Jesus, your Saviour.

 

Prayer is extremely important for a Christian. Without prayer you cannot call yourself a Christian. Prayer keeps the vital link strong with Jesus and your Father. The relationship between us grows when you spend time in prayer. Come to prayer every day and know that We are listening with an open heart to every prayer. Your love for Us will grow and your faith will also increase. For many people, their faith is very weak because they have abandoned private prayer. During this time of Lent you need to pray more intensely and to pray more often during the day. You need to read the Bible and listen to the Word of Life. You are My children and I love you all. Remain always close to your Father.

 

Father Melvin

 

P.S. All the Sunday Masses around here were cancelled yesterday because of the storm. The roads were not cleared all day. I celebrated Sunday Mass at the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island but only a few people attended. I celebrated my birthday at home and in a very quiet way as no one could move around outside. Today I will go to the Manor to celebrate Holy Mass at 1:30 p.m. It will be different there now that my mother is no longer there. She passed away on February 27.

Message to Louise March 2, 2008

HYPERCRITICAL!
Message via L., V+J
March 2, 2008- - -12:50 P.M.

L. began to receive a message from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with
Your Most Precious Blood."(and many other various prayers of testing)

Then your God spoke, " I tell you, there are innumerable electrons (minute in
size) filling your air, your atmosphere. One day soon 'fire will come from the
sky' and the air will burst into flame!

Evil men have destroyed all of My perfect creation. In the end the earth
will be an inferno. 'All will be purified as gold in fire.' Sirach 2:5
Ecclesiaticus 2:5

Anyone, anything not of Me will be completely destroyed!

A dark cloud made by sin hangs heavily above the earth. Be ready in spirit
through prayer and sacrifice to face your Master. There is nothing, absolutely
nothing, that can extinguish this fire.

It has been foretold to My writers of Holy Scripture many, many years ago.
Believe Me, it will be for all is true.

Chemicals, toxins fill the air. 'FIRE WILL FALL FROM THE SKY'.* All will
be reduced to ashes. Nothing not of Me will remain!

Be ready, for this day is VERY, VERY NEAR! Amen, I have spoken!"

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 05 - Significance of Ashes

 

"In the Eucharistic sacrifice, we bring the suffering of all our brothers and sisters who live in poverty and darkness to unite with the sufferings of Jesus on the cross" (Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta).

 

 

The Cross is to the creature as the bridle to the horse. What would happen to the horse if man would not use the bridle? The Cross tames him and restrains him. It softens him, pacifies him and leads him by the hand.

 

"The Eucharist is connected with the Passion. If Jesus had not established the Eucharist we would have forgotten the crucifixion. It would have faded into the past and we would have forgotten that Jesus loved us. There is a saying that to be far away from the eyes is to be far away from the heart. To make sure that we do not forget, Jesus gave us the Eucharist as a memorial of his love"  (Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta).

 

 

Mother Teresa -

You have a challenge from Jesus to meet:
He has shed the light, and you will take His light and lighten every heart you meet.

 

 Everything that is suffering to us touches Jesus

 

Pope John Paul II's Message for Lent 2002

 In his annual Lenten Message, Pope John Paul II asks Christians to focus on the theme of "You received without paying, give without pay"(Mt 10:8). This Lent we need to contemplate that everything we have—our life, the Redemption—"has been given to us by God's loving initiative" and that "God has freely given us his Son." We Christians should "marvel in their heart of hearts at the greatness of such a gift."

We need to pull away from the world's focus of human relationships "based on self-interest and personal gain" which fosters "an egocentric vision of life." Instead we need to recognize "every person, even the least gifted, must be welcomed and loved for themselves, regardless of their qualities and defects."

The Pope also continued his stress on the "culture of life," an issue so important during his papacy. The "beginning of life and its marvelous development" is a gift from God. "And because it is a gift life can never be regarded as a possession or as private property." He repeated "that not everything that is technically possible is morally acceptable."

"Since we have received this life freely, we must in turn offer it freely to our brothers and sisters" and the Holy Father concluded with the exhortation to prepare for Lent "in practical generosity towards the poorest of our brothers and sisters!

 

 Significance of Ashes

Ash Wednesday opens up this season of penitence.

"Remember, man, you are dust, and unto dust you shall return."

So says the priest as he makes the sign of cross with ashes on our foreheads. The ashes are made by burning the previous year's blessed palms. This is a vivid reminder of our mortal nature. We are bodies fashioned from dust. "Then the Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being" (Gen 2:7). Our bodies were made from nothing, and will return to nothing when we die. Ashes are a symbol of this passing world, a reminder of our death.

The imposition of ashes is also a symbol of penance and sorrow for our sins. The practice of sprinkling ashes on one's head as a sign of penance was customary even in the Old Testament—in the Book of Esther, Mordecai put on sackcloth and ashes (Est 4:1); Job sat in sackcloth and ashes to repent (Job 42:6); all of Ninevah put on sackcloth and ashes to repent after Jonah's preaching (Jon 3:5-6). In early Christian centuries the imposition of ashes was only used for public sinners, but around the year 1000 popes and all faithful started to receive the ashes as a sincere and external token that we are all poor sinners. 

Ashes remind us of the curse from Genesis. After Adam and Eve committed the Original Sin, God expelled them from the Garden of Eden with these words:

Cursed be the ground because of you; in toil shall you eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you, and you shall eat the plants in the field. In the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, since out of it you were taken; for dust you are and unto dust you shall return (Gen 3:17-19).

The Church repeats these words as the cross is traced on our foreheads "Remember, man, you are dust and to dust you shall return." Thus this opens a theme that is echoed throughout Lent and then decidedly pronounced during the Easter Vigil. In the Exsultet, the Church rejoices in this Original Sin, because it brought the Redemption: "O happy fault, O necessary sin of Adam, which gained for us so great a Redeemer!"

The liturgy of Ash Wednesday gives us guidelines for our 40 day journey. We pray for blessing upon our endeavors in the opening prayer at Mass:

"Lord, protect us in our struggle against evil. As we begin the discipline of Lent, make this season holy by our self-denial."

The Old Testament reading is from the Prophet Joel 2:18. Here the message is very clear: do penance, but avoid an outward show, "Rend your hearts and not your garments." Our penance should not be mere hypocrisy. It is an interior change that is more important.  

 

 Love is that which goes above everything. Therefore he who loves much, and not he who does much, will be more acceptable to God

 

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

There is a difference between good and evil

"Thus humility is the pathway to Truth and inner peace is grounded on the recognition of two dimensions beyond the flatness of the mass level: one is the recognition of the dimension of height, which is the Sanctity above, the other is the dimension of depth, which is the existence of evil within the human heart."

 

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

 When I entered my solitude, I heard these words: At the hour of their death, I defend as My own glory every soul that will say this chaplet; or when others say it for a dying person, the indulgence is the same. When this chaplet is said by the bedside of a dying person, God's anger is placated, unfathomable mercy envelops the soul, and the very depths of My tender mercy are moved for the sake of the sorrowful Passion of My Son.

Oh, if only everyone realized how great the Lord's mercy is and how much we all need that mercy, especially at that crucial hour!       (811)

O bright and clear day on which all my dreams will be fulfilled; O day so eagerly desired, the last day of my life! I look forward with joy to the last stroke the Divine Artist will trace on my soul, which will give my soul a unique beauty that will distinguish me from the beauty of other souls. O great day, on which divine love will be confirmed in me. On that day, for the first time, I shall sing before heaven and earth the song of the Lord's fathomless mercy. This is my work and the mission which the Lord has destined for me from the beginning of the world. That the song of my soul may be pleasing to the Holy Trinity, do You, O Spirit of God, direct and form my soul yourself. I arm myself with patience and await Your coming, O merciful God, and as to the terrible pains and fear of death, at this moment more than at any other time, I trust in the abyss of Your mercy and am reminding You, O merciful Jesus, sweet Savior, of all the promises You have made to me.       (825)

 

 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

MARCH 5 - MAKE A SPECIAL DECISION FOR PRAYER

The Mother of Jesus urges us to pray as a defense against evil. To Ivan's prayer group:

"Dear children, your Mother warns you tonight that Satan is active in a special way these days. Do not allow emptiness inside of you, but fill this emptiness with prayer. Dear children, prayer is the best medicine these days to defend yourselves against evil. And so, dear children, make a special decision for prayer during Lent. Tonight I expect you to pray the Glorious Mysteries when you return home." (Visionaries Prayer Group February 19, 1990)

Fittingly, Psalm 54 is entitled, "Confident Prayer in Great Peril": But surely, God is my helper; The Lord is the upholder of my life. He will repay my enemies for their evil. In your faithfulness, put an end to them. With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good. For he has delivered me from every trouble, And my eye has looked in triumph on My enemies. ---Psalm 54:4-7

Reflection:

As Our Lady tells us today, prayer is our chief weapon against evil. It is of such importance that she once told Jelena, the elocutionist, "I have nothing else to tell you, but pray, pray, pray."

In a sermon on prayer, Fr. Tomislav Vlasic, formerly assigned to Medjugorje, made the analogy that, "Just as we find ourselves talking to a friend for hours on end, so it is just as natural to talk with Jesus Christ." On problems in prayer, he suggests that, "If we are distracted or absent-minded in prayer, it may be that we are too far from God, too devoted to the world, and have not given enough time to seeking him in prayer."

He adds: "I therefore invite you to a continuous deepening of prayer. The Holy Spirit will enlighten you each step of the way and Satan will be completely disarmed."

Application:

Let's simply heed the Virgin's advice today: "Don't allow emptiness inside of you; fill this emptiness with prayer…it is the best medicine to defend yourselves against evil."

 

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 04 - JESUS GIVES HIMSELF TO YOU!

 

 


"From the shedding of His blood, came our redemption.  From the beating of His heart in love for us, came the Blessed Eucharist" (Fr. Leonard Feeney, M.I.C.M.).

 

Your Cross St. Francis De Sales

The everlasting God has in His wisdom foreseen from eternity the cross that He now presents to you as a gift from His inmost heart.

This cross He now sends you He has
considered with His all-knowing eyes,
understood with His divine mind,
tested with His wise justice, warmed with
loving arms and weighed with His own hands to see that it be not one inch too large and not one ounce too heavy for you.

He has blessed it with His holy Name,
anointed it with His consolation,
taken one last glance at you and your courage,
and then sent it to you from heaven,
a special greeting from God to you,
an alms of the all-merciful love of God. Amen!

 

To get nations back on their feet, we must first get down on our knees.
     ~ Billy Graham

 

Mother Teresa -

Christ must be the light that shines through you, and the people looking at you must see only Jesus.

 

 It is necessary to empty yourself of everything in order to be able to be filled with the All of God.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Let us walk always, even with slow steps, as long as we have good intentions, we cannot but make progress. No, it is not necessary to be always attentive to everything for the exercize of the virtues.

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Dare to be right!

"Mediocrity can be a terrific form of tyranny, and it has a thousand and one penalties for those who forsake the external standards for an inward change of heart to a line of conduct above the level. When a thousand people are walking to the edge of an abyss, the one who is seen walking in the opposite direction is taunted for not following the mob. We must be humble to bear up under these reproaches and dare to be right when the majority is wrong."

 

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

Today, I received a letter from Father Sopocko. I learned from it that God Himself is conducting this whole affair. And as the Lord has begun it, so will He continue to carry it along. And the greater the difficulties which I see, the more am I at peace. Oh, if in this whole matter the glory of God and the profit to souls were not greatly served, Satan would not be opposing it so much. But he senses what he is going to lose because of it. I have now learned that Satan hates mercy more than anything else. It is his greatest torment. Still, the word of God will not pass away; God's utterance is living; difficulties will not suppress the works of God, but show that they are God's...       (764)

 

 

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 4 -  JESUS GIVES HIMSELF TO YOU!

The Virgin speaks to Jelena of the joy of salvation:

How can you not be happy? Jesus gives himself to you! I wish to fill the souls of all. But I am sad this evening, for many have not prepared themselves for Easter. Thus Jesus will not be able to unite himself to their souls on that great day (Locution Jelena and Mirajana April 14, 1984)

Paul explains salvation as a pure gift of Christ:

But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God (Eph 2:4-8).

Reflection:

St. Paul emphasizes that we do not need to live any longer under sin's power. The penalty of sin and its power over us were destroyed by Christ on the cross. Through him we stand acquitted, "not guilty," before God (cf. Rom 3:21-22).

Our Lady urges us to accept and rejoice in this gift of salvation. When someone gives you a gift, do you say, "That's very nice, now how much do I owe you?" No the appropriate response is, "Thank you." Yet some of us, even after we've been given the gift of salvation, feel obligated to try to work or earn our own way to God. But because salvation and even faith are pure gifts, our response can only be one of gratitude, praise, and joy.

Application:

Have we ever accepted, deep down, the gift of salvation? Today, pray that you may experience the awesome impact of this greatest of gifts, as Our Lady urges.

"Jesus in the Eucharist, we glorify You, above all, in union with Mary Immaculate, Queen of Heaven.  We offer You through her, her homage of boundless love and fervent reparation.  Yes, adorable Jesus, it is in union with her that we come today to praise Your infinite mercies; with her we wish to weep over
Your mystic agony in the Tabernacle where You are forsaken and saddened by the  ingratitude of so many!" (Fr. Mateo Crawley-Boevey).

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Don't be upset when you are unable to meditate, receive Communion or carry out all the pious practices. In the meantime, try to make up for this in different manner, by keeping yourself united to Our Lord with a loving will, with ejaculatory prayers and Spiritual Communions.

 

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

 It takes courage to follow your convictions

"Humility is required to challenge mediocrity; one must be ready to brave the taunts of those who knock anyone in the head who raises himself above the masses."

 

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

Act of total abandonment to the will of God, which is for me, love and mercy itself.

Act of Oblation

Jesus-Host, whom I have this very moment received into my heart, through this union with You I offer myself to the heavenly Father as a sacrificial host, abandoning myself totally and completely to the most merciful and holy will of my God. From today onward, Your will, Lord, is my food. Take my whole being; dispose of me as You please. Whatever Your fatherly hand gives me, I will accept with submission, peace and joy. I fear nothing, no matter in what direction You lead me; helped by Your grace I will carry out everything You demand of me. I no longer fear any of Your inspirations nor do I probe anxiously to see where they will lead me. Lead me, O God, along whatever roads You please; I have placed all my trust in Your will which is, for me, love and mercy itself.

Bid me to stay in this convent, I will stay; bid me to undertake the work, I will undertake it; leave me in uncertainty about the work until I die, be blessed; give me death when, humanly speaking, my life seems particularly necessary, be blessed. Should You take me in my youth, be blessed; should You let me live to a ripe old age, be blessed. Should You give me health and strength, be blessed; should You confine me to a bed of pain for my whole life, be blessed. Should You give only failures and disappointments in life, be blessed. Should You allow my purest intentions to be condemned, be blessed. Should You enlighten my mind, be blessed. Should You leave me in darkness and all kinds of torments, be blessed.

From this moment on, I live in the deepest peace, because the Lord Himself is carrying me in the hollow of His hand. He, Lord of unfathomable mercy, knows that I desire Him alone in all things, always and everywhere.       (1264)

 

 

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. 

Mar 3 - PEOPLE RESUME THEIR BAD HABITS

The Blessed Mother was in tears when she gave this message to the visionaries:

"So many people who have been here, and have started to pray, to be converted, to fast, and to do penance, quickly forget when they return home, and resume their bad habits." (Special Message April 24, 1984)

Our Lady's implicit call to repentance is echoed by the prophet Joel:

Put on sackcloth and lament, you priests; wail, you ministers of the altar. Come, pass the night in sackcloth, You ministers of my God! Grain offering and drink offering Are withheld from the house of your God. Sanctify a fast, Call a solemn assembly, Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land To the house of the Lord your God, And cry out to the Lord. Joel 1 :13-14

Reflection :

Lent is a time for renewal and repentance, for turning back to God with our whole heart. Although we may have stepped backwards in our spiritual journey, now is the time to rearrange our priorities, to recommit ourselves to the Lord. Of this renewal, Pope Paul VI wrote :

We must aim above all at an inner renewal, a liberation from the mere following of conventions, a new departure in our way of thinking. More than anything else, we must lament our shortcomings before God, and the community of our brethren. We must renew the self-understanding each must have of himself or herself as a child of God, as a Christian, as a member of the Church. May our Lenten renewal reward us with a deeper share of God's love and peace at the feast of Easter.

Application :

Remembering Our Lady in tears, reflect on how you can deepen your spiritual life during these remaining days of Lent.

 At the beginning of the 4th decade, Our Blessed Mother has appeared as…

 

“Our Lady Of Sorrows”
 

Michael said:  I bow down only to Jesus Christ


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

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

-and now I see a very 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 over everyone’s head … including everyone on the radio internet.

       

And now once again… I see …

 

"OUR LADY OF SORROWS"

 

MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN

        ONLY A FEW WEEKS LEFT OF LENT … HOW MUCH HAVE YOU DONE FOR LENT … IT IS EASY TO SAY:  YOU’VE DONE THIS  OR YOU’VE DONE THAT … BUT


IT’S HARDER TO SAY:  I DID NOT GO HERE BECAUSE I WENT TO GO PRAY … OR I DID NOT HAVE THIS TO EAT … INSTEAD I SAID PRAYERS … THAT IS THE TRUE MEANING OF LENT … AND IT SHOULD BE THE TRUE MEANING YEAR ROUND …

 

TO DO SOMETHING FOR OUR LORD … AND TO GIVE UP SOMETHING FOR PLEASURE … BUT MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN I CAN ONLY … TELL YOU A FEW THINGS … I CAN NOT MAKE YOU DO ANYTHING … THAT IS YOUR FREE-WILL … IF YOU FEEL YOU CAN COME TO THE PRAYER GROUP … MAYBE ONCE A MONTH … THAT IS YOUR FREE WILL … THE OTHER NIGHTS … YOUR JUST SITTING HOME … THINK ABOUT IT …

 

MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN …
 

        YES I AM OUR LADY OF SORROWS … AS IN A FEW WEEKS MY SON WILL BE CRUCIFIED ONCE AGAIN … AND HE WILL DIE … FOR YOUR SINS … THINK OF HOW … YOU ARE REPAYING HIM …

 

MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN …

IT IS EASY FOR THE POLITICIANS … TO SAY:  WE WILL PULL-OUT TROOPS AND HAVE PEACE … OR WE WILL SEND MORE TROOPS TO SECURE PEACE …

 

NO POLITICIAN CAN DO THINGS ALONE … NO POLITICIAN … IS HONEST … POLITICIANS ONLY SAY:  WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR …

 

MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN …
 

        DISASTER’S HAVE OCCURRED … AND STARTING WITH ISRAEL KILLING OVER SIXTY PALESTINIANS THIS PAST WEEK … AND MORE ARE TO COME …


DISASTERS WILL CONTINUE … AND YOU WILL HEAR MORE DISASTERS THIS WEEK … THEY WILL NOT BE PLEASANT MY DEAR CHILDREN … AS NO DISASTER REALLY IS …

 

 PEOPLE … THEY ARE NOT COMPREHENDING WHAT MY SON YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR HAS SAID:  THERE IS NO PEACE IN THE WORLD … AND THIS IS NOT JUST  PEOPLE WHO HAVE SO MUCH ANGER TODAY … THEY HAVE NO PEACE IN THEIR HEARTS …  THERE ARE SOME … GETTING TO BE MENTALLY  ILL … A WOMAN LEAVING A BABY IN A TAXI … WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? … I PROTECTED THAT CHILD … UNTIL THE PROPER AUTHORITIES ARRIVED …

Prophecy Meditations II
Topic: Prophecy Meditation
Book Trailer (Version II)  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUnU4xR5D9E

 (Black Saints, Mystics, Holy Folk; Black Saints, Black Martyrs)
Reading: Isaiah 40:1-11
 
Dear friends,
 
"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Psalm 27:1
 
My time of prayer this morning was spent with God the Father who said,
"Melvin, I love you and bless you. I hold you in My Heart together
with all My sons and daughters living in every country of the world.
My Heart is full of joy when you open your heart full of love to Jesus
and to your Father in heaven. 
You know that I am everywhere and if you
believe in Me, I am in your heart closer to you than your own breath.
If you live close to Me, there is no reason to fear for I will protect
you.
 
This is the time of Lent, a time of repentance and of coming close to
Jesus, My Son. He spent forty days in the desert without eating or
drinking and these days were spent with Me. Only at the end was He
tempted by the devil and Jesus rejected him. I call you to fight the
good fight and to defeat the evil one. I am your Father who loves you
and provides for you. I am your Creator who gave you life and all your
gifts. 
 
With Jesus, My Son, you can defeat your enemy as He did, but
this means that you are always united to Him. Alone you will fail
utterly so do not let the enemy have the upper hand, but keep close to
Jesus, your Saviour.
 
Prayer is extremely important for a Christian. Without prayer you
cannot call yourself a Christian. Prayer keeps the vital link strong
with Jesus and your Father. 
 
The relationship between us grows when you
spend time in prayer. Come to prayer every day and know that We are
listening with an open heart to every prayer. Your love for Us will
grow and your faith will also increase. 
 
For many people, their faith
is very weak because they have abandoned private prayer. During this
time of Lent you need to pray more intensely and to pray more often
during the day. You need to read the Bible and listen to the Word of
Life. You are My children and I love you all. Remain always close to
your Father."
 
Father Melvin
 
P.S. All the Sunday Masses around here were cancelled yesterday
because of the storm. The roads were not cleared all day. I celebrated
Sunday Mass at the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island
but only a few people attended. I celebrated my birthday at home and
in a very quiet way as no one could move around outside. Today I will
go to the Manor to celebrate Holy Mass at 1:30 p.m. It will be
different there now that my mother is no longer there. She passed away
on February 27.

 

Message to Eileen Renders March 2, 2008

Following The Light Will Guide Us Home To Jesus

At the 8:00 A.M. Mass I prayed for all with special needs and intentions
and made humble offerings to Jesus and Mary.

After an Act of Contrition I received the Body and Blood of Christ through
the Sacrament of Holy Communion.

On my knees I communed with Christ and after thanking Him for His many
blessings, I asked Him to please cover me with His most precious blood before
praying these words; Speak Lord (if it be Your will), Your servant listens.


In harmony with the Gospel about Jesus anointing David, the youngest among
his brothers, to receive God's graces and carry His word into the world and
affirming the Second reading of Jesus returning sight to the blind man, Jesus
sent us a message in the form of a vision.


There was the Star of David in the sky that encompassed nearly all the eye could
see in an upward glance. It Just between the two bottom triangles or points
there was a huge gateway of Light that flowed down upon the earth.

 

Beneath this
Star of Light were what appeared to be millions of people appearing to be not
much bigger than the size of a small bottle. All were herded together and trying
to move toward the Light. Those in the pathway of the Light were being exhumed
up into the Star of Light. Some were in the dark, yet could see the Light.

 

Many
were unable to get into the path of the Light, they were in the dark and there
was a huge black line that went very deep into the earth, thus dividing them
from the Light!


From the discernment that Jesus provided to me in that vision, I was able
to liken it to how it relates to all of us in our own lives here on earth. Some
are in the Light while others remain in the darkness.

 

Yet there are those who
want to get into the Light and need our prayers and help. Remaining in the Light
and loving and helping others is our way to heaven.

Notes from Carol Ameche talk Feb.23&25,2008

Talk at conference at Gospa House, North Hills, CA.: 2-24&25-08. I started with
some one-liners!

Jesus: Our Church is about to approach near collapse from within... not total,
but the only light left in the world will be My Presence in the hearts of My
faithful ones.

It is time for Truth to lay bare the sins of too many who serve
Me carelessly and sinfully. Pray for My Church constantly.

The world is a cold and chaotic place, and I wait to hide these lost ones (who
will come to us...cta.) within My Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Mother's
Mantle.

Pray for all children of Christian families that they will accept the
Father's mercy and the cleansing action of Reconciliation after the Warning.
(When we are asked by the Father to pray for particular people or events, I hope
many in the world will comply with this request! cta.)

Impatience and irritability are a sign of a need for more rest and quiet on this
journey. Rest more! The time of day or night will no longer apply in your
lives, but only life in the Perfect Will of Your God.

God the Father,
1-2-08: The world only suffers more and now, with the advent of
new storms and cold, will be more vulnerable to the call for gratification
within a world given over to self interest and self absorption.

 

Do not be surprised when you see in the media stories about wild behavior and many tragic
accidents. Focus on the fact that you are loved so mightily by all of Heaven.


Jesus: Instead of giving in to frustration during this waiting, be filled with
peace and hope as you offer this waiting and your listening heart to the Father
for the reparation of sins. This is the most painful time for all of you.

 

You see the timing and longing for the hopes of resolution and ways of perceiving
being flattened in the crush and burned in the fire of My cleansing, yet healing
touch.

It is the ultimate suffering to experience the feeling of loss and
helplessness in your surrender to complete dependance on My Will and ways for
you.

It is a wrenching, painful dying to self that you experience. It is a
scrubbing of old wounds to open them and allow them to bleed again (!) as a
final means of healing.

The world is on the brink of mighty events of destruction and change in
the shape it has always known since the original split in the continents!

 

Think of this enormous change. Think of the fears that will surface in all hearts.
Encourage all to give their fears to Me, to beg for new trust and dependance on
My powers to save them.

 

It will be one of the most fearsome times in the history
of the universe! Be reconciled, My children, with My Perfect Will. I am so
grateful for your faith, as was Abraham's.

 

YOUR ARE JUSTIFIED by your trust and
obedience. MY WILL IS YOUR SALVATION!!

When you reflect on the events that have
occured in your lives, you can see that. There is nothing to do save reconcile
and pray and prepare for the future.

1-19-08 "Listen: prepare for the conference (that is now over!) that will be
allowed to occur before events of destruction.

1-30-08 "The mighty events that threaten this country are already in motion!
They will occur after your conference and change the face of this country. Be at
peace every moment.

 

People will begin to arrive in great emotional stress in your area (AZ!) soon to occur after the destruction in California that awaits so
many homes and lives.

2-20-08 "It will be complicated when you attempt to deal with wounded people,
when you, yourself, are wounded emotionally and mentally from your own past.

 

The problems develop in those who think they need no more healing once their lives
have already been changed dramatically.

 

Tell My people to see the difference
between accepting change as a one time event and being healed, delivered and
converted as an on-going process that only ends when you enter Heaven!"

Carol Ameche

 

External locution through Carol at Ameche Prayer Group, 03/02/2008

"My dear ones, I am the Spirit of God, your Holy Spirit, the Spirit of all the
gifts you desire, the Love that has been brought to your hearts these past years
in a new way, the Love you have become. It is My Presence within you, pouring
Myself out upon you, sharing My strength.

Dear children everywhere in the world who listen, prepare now for events that
will change the world.

 

Prepare now for all you have awaited for so long.
Prepare, first, the love in your hearts. Spend time with Me, My dear ones. I
have said to you in the recent past, you do not know Me.

 

I invite you again to
come closer, to pray to Me, to pray with Me, to pray in Me, to ask Me to pray in
you.

I have said that you will need Me in this future you await, and so it will
be. How blest you are everywhere and the more you suffer, the more blest you are
because you are affecting millions of souls.

O My dear children, take care of yourselves. Realize your need for rest, an
important theme for this time, for these days, this preparation for all that is
to arrive on your doorstep.

 

There will be many, My dear ones, in this area.
There will be many. You think you are ready. Are you ready, My dear ones? Are
you waiting in peace, fully prepared for whatever occurs?

 

Are you struggling
with your Lenten promises? Do not struggle. Allow Me to embrace you, to come
closer.

 

Allow your Triune God to be all you need. Allow, My children. It is
what you can do for those who will come to you. It is what you can do for your
own soul, your eternal future.

Let go of fear, My dear ones. It will do nothing but cooperate with Satan. It
will distract you. It will dilute your purpose. Do not cooperate with the plans
of the evil one.

 

There are millions of people in the world already cooperating
with the plans of Satan. Don't be one of them by worrying about yourself.

 

You are the mightiest army ever assembled, worldwide, to fight the great battles of
the future, in the end to help overcome and defeat the evil one and all of his
followers.

My very dear people, rejoice, rejoice. You are soldiers of your Lord. Please,
please, stay close to Me in your prayer.

 

Please, please, rest, meditate, be in
the Presence of your God and all of the holiness that surrounds you.

Do not fear. There is nothing to fear. I bring you all of Who I am, and pour Myself out
upon you everywhere in the world. Once again, you prepare for battle.

 

Do it with all of who you have become, and rejoice! Amen, My very dear ones. Amen."

Carol Ameche

March 1, 2008


Jesus


My dear friend, you will learn so much about love in heaven.  You will look back at your time on earth and you will understand that many things that occurred to you were both exercises in love and opportunities to love.


There is misunderstanding about love in the world but those who follow Me, My beloved apostles, seek to master love as I mastered love, in sacrifice.


It is true that love creates joy.  This is true.  But when we take on love, it is also at times like taking on a burden which must then be carried.

  We should not decide for love and then, finding that love burdensome at times, set it down and walk away from it.  This is not how it is done.  On the contrary, if you love as I loved, you will find at times that the weight of love is heavy. 

I experienced this on Calvary when I carried My love for you to My death.  Did I make the right decision, to pay the ultimate price for love?  Of course I did. 

What else would I do, given the wonderful creation that is you?  In the same way, I want each of My apostles to expect their love for Me to be a burden to them at times.  This is normal. 

I want each of My apostles to expect their love for others to be a burden to them at times.  This is also normal.  In love, there are times when the decision to love feels light, of course, and there seems to be no burden to it at all.


Rejoice in these times.  In love, there are other times when the burden causes you to question your commitment.  Do not be afraid of these times.


This questioning is necessary for your growth.  I experienced this, too.  I was tempted toward an easier way. 

 

When love is tried this way and triumphs, that love becomes firmer and less likely to be disappointed later.  Welcome the challenges to love, even while you decide for love. 

 

I will be with you in each situation, counselling you to humility and gentleness.  View each challenge as a worthy exercise, allowed by heaven to teach you about eternity.  See the opportunities to love all of those around you, particularly those whom you find it difficult to agree with at times.


Please do not be alarmed when you are disappointed in love, when others fail you.  This was also My experience and this will also benefit you because it will help you to learn forgiveness. 

 

I will bring you to greater holiness with each experience if you remember that I am with you and that I love you perfectly and completely.  From the secure place that is My heart, you will go forward with self assurance, confident that you are cherished.

 


This confidence will express itself in an increased ability to love those around you. 

 

Be at peace, dear apostles.  My plan is such that you will learn to live like residents of heaven.  All is well.

AND SO I GIVE TO ALL MY MATERNAL BLESSING IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST.


MAY THE BLESSING OF CHRIST COME FROM THIS LITTLE PRIEST-SON AND MAY HIS HEART COME ALSO INTO UNDERSTANDING.


GIVE PRAISE AND THANKS TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD NOW AND FOREVER.
 

Message-Poem from Jesus via Dominique Biot of France - May 1, 2007


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 FRANCE

MESSAGE-POEM FROM JESUS
via Dominique Biot of France
 

May 1, 2007

 
JESUS:
 
 
Happy are those who follow the Eternal One!

 
Happy are those who follow the Eternal One
Into this Seventh Millennium!
Happy are those reading the Holy Book
Denigrated by heretics, ignored by Pagans
More abundant than the dust of the earth...

 
Happy are those adoring the One and Triune God,
Father, the Eternal One,
Redemptive Son, the Savior,
Holy Spirit who unites Them!
 

And miserable those not having accepted
The incarnation of the Son of man,
Miserable the apostates since 2000 years!
Miserable the unconverted worst than the uncircumcised!

 
For My Word has covered the earth
And they have not converted!
My gospel diffused, proclaimed,
And they have not listened!
My saints persecuted,
My prophets mocked
As in the days of Isaiah!
 

Miserable obstinately the pagan people
Refusing the Good News yet travelling
Around the globe at lightning speed!
Miserable the hedonist
They will reap the wages of the flesh
And if not for My elects, not one would remain!
 

Happy are you My last disciples,
My last martyrs of charity:
You, persecuted within your family,
You, solitary in the crowds,
You, waiting for so long;
You shall receive a hundredfold
In My era of Peace!

 
Blessed they who redeemed
Will experience this epoch,
Blessed be the martyrs of this transition,
The martyrs facing the antichrist,
The martyrs in extremis,
They will inherit the Kingdom!

 
For I have heard the prayer of the gentiles
And those of the elects,
I have gathered their fruits
And have blessed them,
For Eternity!

 
Alleluia!

Medjugorge Messages 

Day By Day Mar 02 - Thank you for each sacrifice Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 02 - Thank you for each sacrifice  "I have a burning thirst to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament, and I find hardly anyone who strives, according to my desire, to allay this thirst by making me some return of love."  (Words of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary)   

 "In the Eucharist the Church is as it were at the foot of the cross with Mary, united with the offering and intercession of Christ" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1370). Mother Teresa -   God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen. And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens.And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be: oneness with God, oneness with Jesus. Peace is light to the soul, light to your neighbor and light to GodMeditations by Padre Pio - Beware of anxiety and restlessness because there is nothing that more greatly impedes progress towards perfection. Sweetly place your heart in the Wounds of Our Lord, but not with force. Have great confidence in His Mercy, because He will never abandon you. But do not fail, for this reason, to tightly embrace His Holy Cross. Archbishop Fulton Sheen Just because everyone's doing it doesn't make it right! "Numbers become the measure of goodness.

If a sufficient number can be counted who violate a certain Commandment of God, then it is argued: `50 million adulterers cannot be wrong.

We have to change the Commandments.' The excellence of moral excellence does not reside in any external conformity to a conventional standard, but in an inward disposition under the control of a recognized principle to which we submit whether we agree with it or not.

"St. Faustina's diary - O Wound of Mercy, Heart of Jesus, hide me in Your depths as a drop of Your own blood, and do not let me out forever! Lock me in Your depths, and do You Yourself teach me to love You!

Eternal Love, do You Yourself form my soul that it be made capable of returning Your love. O living Love, enable me to love You forever. I yearn to eternally reciprocate Your love.

O Christ, a single gaze from You is dearer to me than a thousand worlds, than all heaven itself. Lord, You can make my soul capable of understanding completely who You are.

I know and I believe that You can do all things; if You have deigned to give Yourself to me so generously, then I know that You can be even more generous.

Bring me into an intimacy with You so far as it is possible for human nature to be brought...       (1631) O Christ, suffering for You is the delight of my heart and my soul.

Prolong my sufferings to infinity, that I may give You a proof of my love. I accept everything that Your hand will hold out to me. Your love, Jesus, is enough for me.

I will glorify You in abandonment and darkness, in agony and fear, in pain and bitterness, in anguish of spirit and grief of heart. In all things may You be blessed.

My heart is so detached from the earth, that You Yourself are enough for me. There is no longer any moment in my life for self concern. 

      (1662) MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAYThese 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.   Mar 2    Thank you for each sacrifice During Lent of 1986, Our Lady gave the following message:Dear children, today I invite you to live this Lent with your small sacrifices.

Thank you for each sacrifice which you have already presented to me. Dear children, continue to live in this way and, with your love, help me to present your offering to God, who will reward you. (WM 3-13-86).

St Paul also speaks of sacrifice:Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. (Heb 13:16)Reflection:"Live this Lent," Our Lady says today, "with your small sacrifices." The Gospa knows well that God lovingly receives our sacrifices and uses them to draw us closer to Him, and to aid in no less than in the salvation of mankind.Sacrifices are the true sign of love, for on the eternal level we gain nothing for ourselves, but direct our action outward for the benefit of another.

For instance, we can speak many words of concern for the mentally handicapped, but it is quite a different thing to sacrifice several hours a week to help out a local center, especially if we find it a demanding experience.

In much the same way, our sacrifice of giving up, say, alcohol or coffee for Lent is a concrete action of love for God that goes beyond mere words.

A sacrifice made with love, as Mary urges us, is even redemptive in the hands of God, for it becomes joined to the greatest love-sacrifice of all, that of Christ on the cross.In addition, sacrifices such as fasting amplify the power of prayer many fold.

For again, it is a concrete expression of love - more than words - that directly touch the heart of God.

Thus Our Lady's message, "live this Lent with your small sacrifices," refers to a living love for God that is proved by more than words. It says to Him, "See that I love you by my sacrifices, by my self denial, I am serious.

I love you even when it hurts, just as you loved me.

Application:St. Therese, the Little Flower, once prayed and fasted for the conversion of a murderer on death row, who was also an atheist.

On the day of his execution, at the gallows, he astonished everyone by reaching for the chaplains crucifix and kissing it. How aware are you of the great power you possess in prayer with sacrifice?

For what intention can it be offered this week? 

And from the era of peace website (Fair use for those in the African Diaspora who would not be exposed to such, 17 U.S.C.)

Update: The Church's Position on Our Lady of Garabandal   For sometime, certain erroneous information has circulated the Internet claiming that the Church has ruled against the mystical occurrences in Garabandal, Spain which occurred during the 1960's. Satan never sleeps. A few years ago we published a piece to the group entitled (#218) Garabandal: The Church's Position.  Therein we explained that the mystical occurrences at Garabandal  have yet-to-be-approved by the Church as worthy of belief, meaning that they remain in the neutral category --- neither approved nor disapproved. Recently in a personal letter to Mr. Edward Kelly, Archbishop Carlos Osoro Sierra not only reinforced the fact that Garabandal remains in the yet-to-be-approved category, but encouraged the Faithful to continue maintaining devotion to Our Lady of Garabandal. 

An image of the letter, written in Spanish on the Archbishop's official stationery and signed by him together with an English translation, was published in the Special Edition of Garabandal Journal (1) (received January, 2008). 

 The entire English transcript is presented below for your discernment.   Response From the Archbishop of Oviedo, Carlos Osoro Sierra, Current Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Santander, to Edward Kelly of the United States Who Wrote to Him Regarding the Apparitions of Garabandal    May 7, 2007  Dear Edward, Acknowledging receipt of your kind letter presenting to me your assessment of the events at Garabandal, I want you to know that I am open to all information and to every consideration about Garabandal, and I want to continue in this manner, as long as the Holy Father sees fit for me to be Apostolic Administrator, what my brothers in the episcopacy have done regarding the subject in question.  What I have done now is authorize priests to go to Garabandal and celebrate Mass there at whatever hour they desire, and to administer the Sacrament of Reconciliation to as many people who desire it there. I am sure that the next bishop will advance the studies of the Garabandal events so they may be examined more deeply with the results being sent to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome. I respect the apparitions and have known of authentic conversions.  In light of these events, how can we not always feel the need to open our heart to our mother Mary to tell her that we need her protection, help, spirit, desire, faith, hope and love!  I encourage you to continue maintaining this devotion to our Mother. If your are interested in speaking with me, don't hesitate to ask for an audience at the Santander bishopric through the Vicar General.  There they can take down all your information and set the date and hour for the visit. Hoping to count on your continued prayers and cooperation, I extend to you my most cordial greeting and give you my blessing.  /s/Carlos, Archbishop of OviedoApostolic Administrator of Santander     Footnotes    (1)    Garabandal Journal, P.O.

Message to J.N.S.R. Jan.9,2008
 
I come to educate you about the Love of God
 
The struggle of JESUS Christ
 
                                                                                                                 January 9, 2008
 
JESUS:  The Cross of Christ JESUS is a Testament.
 
            For man, it is his Law of Love.  Today, in this struggle which is mostly spiritual, JESUS Christ comes to tell you:  you have not understood, for in My Holy Cross,  all is written,  and all men should have had to see it elevated at 738 meters, the height of Golgotha, where My Holy Sacrifice was made, so as not to ever forget again, all that I have told you.  There, you would have listened to Me.
 
            Men have a short memory which they even reduce to the amount of their personal experience.  The Mystery which you have to live with My Cross, must be lived beyond your  actual life.  
 
 
 
 
This Mystery, which  explodes  in the Most Holy Eucharist is an external  renewal  which goes on just as the presence of My Holy Cross in Eternity, before the eyes of My Father.   This is what God is giving you for the Salvation of the World. 
 
            This is what the whole Universe acknowledged before the  wayward Earth  still unfaithful to its One and True God.  
 
The entire Universe is  on its knees  before the undeniable Majesty of the Father and of the Son, United by the Holy Spirit of Love, to form only One Whole, recognized everywhere as the One, Only and True God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, of the visible and invisible Universe.
 
  Except on the Earth of JESUS Christ, which is really the only one that, since its origin, is the theatre demonstrating to all the Universe  how far the Love of God can go for one sole creature of His,  before His Omnipotence, in order to  win it over  in its freedom.
 
            That struggle, seen by the immensity of the whole Universe united to God,  is unique  and this is how it will be told in all the Universe.  That is why God, our Father, has chosen this  blue planet  to offer to His Son JESUS Christ, for He has earned it like Jacob, by fighting God Himself.
 
            For all the Evil received from mankind, His creatures, He reconciled them to Himself in that singular fight of God with Himself, who is God, so as to remain the God of Love and of eternal Forgiveness, before this Evil that could only be conquered through Love.
 
The blue planet of JESUS Christ,
 
Reconciler of the visible and invisible world,
 
Earth of Love and of Pardon,
 
earned by JESUS Christ with His Love.
 
            Like everyone, you must earn your share of the Eternal Kingdom with your Repentance, the Pardon of God and the Love of man for your God of Love.  The struggle of God is that of His Mercy with His Holy Justice.
 
JESUS Christ, in the Father and the Holy Spirit.

THE GIFT OF THE CROSS
 
AS THE CURRENT MONTH ENDS AND THE NEW IS BEGINNING,
DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED FOR THIS BATTLE YOU’RE WINNING.
THE CROSSES WERE HEAVY AND THEY WILL BE MORE STILL
FOR THOSE WHO CONTINUE IN DOING GOD’S WILL.
 
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOUR CROSS NOW DOES WEIGH,
DO NOT, MY DEAR CHILDREN, NOW THROW IT AWAY.
WHEN YOU SEE, MY DEAR CHILDREN, SOMEONE IN DESPAIR,
HELP THEM CARRY THEIR CROSS AND FOR THEM SAY A PRAYER.
 
IF YOU DO THIS, DEAR CHILDREN, YOUR REWARDS WILL OUTWEIGH
THE CROSSES YOU CARRY ON THIS JOURNEY EACH DAY.
JESUS CARRIED YOUR CROSS SO THAT HEAVEN YOU’D FIND;
IF THERE HAD BEEN NO CROSS, YOUR SOUL WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND.
 
IN ORDER, DEAR CHILDREN, GOD’S KINGDOM TO GAIN,
YOU MUST CARRY YOUR CROSSES IN SPITE OF THE PAIN.
CONSIDER, DEAR CHILDREN, EACH CROSS AS A GIFT
EVEN THOUGH YOU FEEL SOMETIMES THEY’RE TOO HEAVY TO LIFT.
 
IN ORDER, DEAR CHILDREN, TO CROSS THE ABYSS,
YOU MUST CARRY YOUR CROSSES JUST AS MY SON DID HIS.
ONLY THOSE BEARING CROSSES WILL WALK THRU THE GATES
WHERE WITH HIS OUTSTRETCHED HANDS FOR YOU THE FATHER AWAITS.

Wednesday, January 16, 2008:
         Jesus said: “My people, your Homeland Security people have been  issuing decrees that all new passports have to have a microchip in them that  contains your personal information.  
 
By the Real ID Act passed by your Congress and your President, all of your drivers’ licenses will have to  have a microchip as well.  These chips are not that secure, and
 identity thieves can steal your information with the right kind of microwave reader.  In order to prevent this theft, I am recommending if you have such documents containing microchips, that you can wrap them in aluminum foil or lead photo pouches so they cannot be read by such thieves
 trying to steal your identity.  
 
All of these one world people want to have you chipped so they can track where you are.  Making chips mandatory
in your passports and driver’s licenses is just the first step.  The  next step will be to make it mandatory that you have to put a chip in your body so you will not lose it. 
 
But this will allow them to control your mind with voices, so refuse to take any chips in your body, even if they threaten to kill you in their detention center death camps. This
 threat of death will be another reason to leave for your refuges guided by your guardian angels, before they can capture you at your house.
 
Pray for My protection and I will have My angels guard you, and make you invisible to those who want to kill you.”
 
Thursday, January 17, 2008: (St. Anthony of the Desert)
         Jesus said: “My people, St. Anthony led a prayerful life in the desert as he was a model for starting the monastic life.  While I was on the earth, I also retreated to deserts and mountains to strengthen Myself in prayer. 
 
At times contemplative prayer could be good to recollect
your soul from all of your worldly distractions.  There are several monasteries of cloistered life in most areas where nuns or brothers and  priests pray.  These monasteries are located on consecrated ground, and they have adored My Blessed Sacrament for many years
 
Many of these monasteries are the holy ground that will be places of refuge during the tribulation.  In the vision you are seeing one such monastery where space for eating then becomes places for prayer.  During the tribulation you
will be doing a lot of praying and thanking Me for protecting you from the evil ones who will be trying to kill you for your faith. 
 
My angels will be present to perform miracles of protection and they will help you in providing for your food.  Have no worries of this evil time for you can trust Me for your protection.”
         Prayer Group:
     Jesus said:  “My people, your American car manufacturers are losing more market share each year because they are not competing on a fair market field.  
 
Many car makers are using cheap labor which is found in
countries like China.  Even your steel is imported because of prices.
  Now China wants to exploit cheap labor in Mexico and make a cheap car that could be imported with no tariff because of your NAFTA Trade Agreement.  Without any protection for your manufacturers, it is just a matter of time until all of your manufacturing shops will be closing their
doors.  
 
It is your CEOs  and your stock markets that are stealing American jobs and selling their goods for the same high price.  When your workers cannot get good jobs, your country’s finances will soon fail.” 
 
Jesus said: “My people, as your manufacturers are crushed by competition in many fields by cheaper goods, many of your jobs could be lost in not just a recession, but a huge created depression by the one world people. 
 
Your current business leaders are making millions more while the average worker is losing to inflation.  By taking away your pensions, benefits, and even layoffs, many of your people will not be able to buy what they used to, and your markets will teeter into bankruptcy because these greedy businessmen have ruined the people who buy their
products. 
 
All of this greed for profit will haunt your country when you see the created financial collapse which will precipitate your takeover.” 
         Jesus said: “My people, this Trojan Horse represents all of the containers that are being imported on your docks.  Your businessmen have imported so much from communist China that most of your food, drugs, and electronic goods which are imported from abroad, have questions about
 quality in many of these items.  
 
The unfair importation of cheap goods is putting many of your industries out of business.  Your deficit of payments and your deficit budgets are eroding the value of your currency.
  When are your people going to realize that most of your jobs are being sold out to foreigners?  This trend is meant to make slaves out of your workers for no benefits and little pay.”
         Jesus said: “My people, as your average wages and standard of living decrease due to only a few good jobs available, this will impact your tax structures and infrastructures that they pay for. 
 
Instead of corporate welfare and tax breaks for the rich, the man in the street should be getting a fair break.  When people cannot afford their taxes, and payments to retirees dry up, then you could see a revolt of the people against the rich who stole their jobs and pensions.  
 
It will be such a struggle that could result in martial law which has been the plan of the evil rich all along for their control.  Your time to go to the refuges will be at this time of martial law, so be prepared.”
         Jesus said: “My people, many events will be leading up to the coming tribulation, but I will be performing many miracles to protect you from the evil ones who are trying to control you.  Just as it is a miracle to see such flowers in winter, so I will be guiding you safely to My refuges.  
 
Rejoice in My coming defeat of the evil ones who eventually will be chained in hell, while My faithful will have their reward in My Era of Peace.  Even while you see this ruthless  stealing going on, all of these greedy employers will pay for their crimes against their workers.”
         Jesus said: “My people, even as your Christmas Season has ended with My Baptism, you should next focus on the coming Lenten Season.  In several weeks you will be seeing this time for repentance come upon you.
  You could even put together your new spiritual resolutions with what you could do to benefit from your coming Lenten resolutions.  You may try giving up TV or the internet surfing for Lent.  Really make a point to do some spiritual suffering so your life toward sainthood could be helped.  Many of you waste too much time on your entertainment when you
 could be doing more for Me.”
         Jesus said: “My people, in the not too distant future the one world people will use their cell towers and satellites to test if every person has a chip on their person.  If their readers return a search with ‘No ID found’ they will single  out that person for capture at a detention center.  
 
This is why eventually My people will need to seek out My
refuges where My angels will make you invisible to their means of detection.  Trust in My power, which is greater than the demons, and I will protect you and provide for your needs.”
 
Saturday, January 19, 2008: 
         Jesus said: “My people, many beautiful traditions and words of the Mass have been passed down to you through the years.  I find these traditions very reverent to Me and more pleasing than the changed wording.  My Church authorities have approved some revised wordings, but I like the older words better for their meaning.  
 
I would only warn My people of not taking too many liberties with these traditions as there are many elements of modernism trying to infiltrate themselves into your services.  This modernism will eventually lead into New Age influences which will divide My Church into a schismatic church vs. My faithful remnant.
  Beware of these New Age teachings and do not follow them because they worship things and not Me.  Whenever you give praise and worship, worship in My Name only and not any other earthly thing.  All power comes from Me, and do not let the evil ones lead you astray from My sacraments.
  There are also many attacks occurring against My Blessed Sacrament in My sacred Hosts.  Keep reverencing My Real Presence in My Host by receiving Me on the tongue, and bowing or kneeling before Me.  Only receive Me in the state of grace without any mortal sin so you do not commit a
 sin of sacrilege.  Genuflect to My tabernacle which should be visible in the main church.  When you minimize My tabernacle and My sacred Hosts, you are minimizing My importance in your lives.  Keep Me first in your heart and soul, and continue to reverence Me in My traditions.” 
         Jesus said: “My people, in the Gospel today I told the Pharisees that I have come to forgive sinners and not the self-righteous.  (Mk 2:13-17) I call sinners to seek the forgiveness of their sins in the sacrament of Penance or Reconciliation.  
 
You are all sinners because you have inherited the sin of Adam in the Garden.  If you truly are sinners, then
all the more reason that you should be sorry for your sins, and seek My forgiveness from the priest in the confessional.  Not only do you seek My forgiveness, but also seek the forgiveness of those whom you have offended, as well as forgiving those who have offended you.  
 
The cross is the sign to you of My worthy sacrifice of My life in atonement to My heavenly Father for all the sins of mankind.  Coming to Confession requires humility in admitting your sinful failures.  
 
But in Confession your souls are cleansed of your sins and My sanctifying grace is restored  to your soul.  It is important to make a firm purpose of amendment to
 try and not commit these sins again, which means you must stop living in  relationships of fornication, adultery, or homosexual acts.  
 
The priest gives you a penance for your sins, but you should pray some of your rosaries in reparation for your sins while you are still on earth.  If you come to purgatory, you will not be able to pray for yourself then.
  Come to frequent Confession at least monthly to receive My graces, keep you humble, and help you to minimize further sin.  By staying holy as much as possible, you will have your souls ready in preparation for the day of your death and your particular judgment.”
 
Sunday, January 20, 2008:
         Jesus said: “My people, I am giving you a flashback to when you visited the Flagellation Chapel in Jerusalem where the Roman soldiers mocked My kingship by putting a crown of thorns on My head, a reed for a scepter in My hand, and they scourged Me on My back and front in order to
humiliate Me.  I suffered the most cruel method of torture of that day in being crucified which is a slow suffocation, especially when you are nailed to a cross.  
 
St. John the Baptist in today’s Gospel is pointing to Me as the Lamb of God as I was later slaughtered like a sheep sacrifice for all of the sins of mankind.  This hole through the chapel is like a tunnel through time to the present.  It represents how My one sacrifice is outside of time, and I share My sacrifice with you at every Mass.  
 
At every Mass the bread and wine are consecrated into My very Body and Blood.  This is My Real Presence in My Blessed Sacrament and I want you to give Me reverence by receiving Me on the tongue as you bow or genuflect to the glory of your Lord.  You have seen miracles of bleeding Hosts to give witness to those who do not believe in My Real Presence.
  Even the demons get people to desecrate My sacred Hosts in black masses because they know I am really present in My Blessed Sacrament.  So as you come to Mass, do not think that it is just a meal or just a celebration, but you are truly present and praying ‘The sacrifice of the Mass’ which is an unbloody re-enactment of My death on the cross.  This is
 truly a sharing in My very Body and Blood.  Holy  Communion is truly a taste of heaven as you share with Me in an intimate communion of our spirits.  Give praise and glory to your Lord for all of My gifts, especially the forgiveness of your sins, and salvation to share eternal life
 with Me in heaven.”
         God the Eternal Father said:  “I AM stands before you.  Thank you for following My wishes to have a chapel dedicated in My honor for your God the Father.  You will receive many graces and blessings for listening to My instructions.  
 
This vision of a mural of Me on the floor is a
testimony to all of the many miraculous images that are appearing on these holy grounds.  You have many prayer meetings here, and all of your prayers will help sustain you here through the tribulation.  
 
Call on My angels of protection to shield you from the evil ones so they cannot see you.  Also, I will instruct you in your preparations for water and food to feed you.  Give praise and glory to your God because soon you will see many catastrophic events on the earth, for it will change as you know it.”
 
Monday, January 21, 2008: (St. Agnes)
         Jesus said: “My people, in today’s Gospel the Pharisees were critical of My apostles because they did not fast as the Pharisees did.  The disciples of St. John the Baptist  fasted as well.  I told the Pharisees that My apostles could not fast while the bridegroom is still with them.
  But once I leave, they will fast also.  In some instances people are too focused on the letter of the law instead of the spirit of love in the law.  I did not come to change the law, but to fulfill it.  
 
So it is in the vision.  You look at the physical bread and wine in complete focus, but without the eyes of faith and the Spirit, you cannot realize the Presence of My very Body and Blood that you receive in Holy
 Communion.  You are made up of body and soul, so your soul needs to be fed with
 spiritual food.  By receiving Me in Communion, your soul is full and
 satisfied with My love and My very Presence.  You are aware of that
 which you can see with your eyes, but always be conscious of the spiritual
 things around you that you can see with your heart and spirit.  You are
 truly in a world where the desires of the body are in a battle with
 the desires of the soul.  You also see a battle of good and evil going on
 around you.  Follow My love in My Commandments so you are constantly
 loving Me and your neighbor as yourself.  Give good example to others in
 your good deeds and work to bring peace among mankind.  Work also to
 save souls from hell wherever you are.”
 
Tuesday, January 22, 2008: (St. Vincent, Anniv. Roe vs. Wade)
         Jesus said: “My people, there is a very strong sense of foreboding of
 the frightful events that will be occurring on the day of the Warning.
  In addition to the major events in the sky, you are also seeing major
 earthquakes and volcanoes going off because they are linked as effects
 from this comet passing by.  I have told you before that some could
 die of fright from all of these events going on all at once.  Some will
 also be frightened or repentant from seeing their sins and their
 mini-judgment.  The Warning will be an illumination of your conscience that
 will show you true right from wrong without any rationalizations.
  Everyone will have this supernatural out of body experience at the same time
 when you will be brought before Me in My Light.  You will have a life
 review showing all of your good and bad actions with an emphasis on your
 unforgiven sins and sins of omission.  At the end of this life review
 you will see where you will be judged whether to heaven, purgatory, or
 hell.  You will then have a small taste of what it would be like in the
 place where you were judged.  Next, you will be placed back into your
 body again, and by My mercy, you will be given a second chance to live
 a better life.  I will never violate your free will, but you must
 choose for yourself to repent and be saved.  My faithful will have to work
 at a feverish pace to try and save souls while their guilt of sin is
 fresh in their minds, especially any in their family away from the
 sacraments.  All of the prayer warriors of the family will be active at this
 time.  During the Warning you will be made to know not to take any
 microchip in your body, and not to worship the Antichrist.  After the
 Warning you will need to remove your TVs and computer monitors from your
 houses to avoid looking at the Antichrist.  The Warning will be the first
 of events that will lead up to the coming of the Antichrist.  I will be
 choosing the time when he can declare himself.  Be prepared for these
 events by keeping your soul pure as possible with frequent Confession.”
         Jesus said: “My people, the little children processing in the living
 rosary are representing the young lives that could be living together
 now, if they had not been aborted.  Pray for the mothers and the doctors
 who performed all the abortions in America.  If you did not have such a
 decision legalizing abortion, you could have more children living
 today.  Pray for your people and your representatives to change this
 abortion on demand so you can protect My little ones.  See in every baby how
 precious each one of these lives are, and you cannot put a price on
 this gift of life.  All the more reason that you should protest this
 killing and work to defend these innocent lives.  If you do not work to stop
 this carnage, then you are condoning it with your inaction.  America
 and other nations are calling down My judgment on you for continuing
 these abortions.  Your society needs to shame those killing My babies so
 they would be too embarrassed to continue having abortions.  The
 doctors, profiting from this killing, will have to answer for the blood on
 their hands that will never wash away.  Pray and be proactive in
 discouraging abortion, especially in your laws and decisions.”
 
Wednesday, January 23, 2008: 
         Jesus said: “My people, I have shown you the destruction of San
 Francisco before, but not in such vivid detail.  Now you are seeing the water
 rushing into the city as an earthquake will cause a large crevasse and
 the city will fall into the ocean.  This utter destruction is more of
 a sign that this time is coming soon.  The people of this city have
 been steeped in their sins of homosexual acts in defiance of My natural
 order.  These acts are an abomination to My eyes, and My justice is
 calling for their destruction, as I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.  I have
 told you that certain disasters are occurring in places of great sin, and
 this will be one of them.  These people could repent of their sinful
 lifestyles and be saved like Niniveh, but this is doubtful that they
 would listen to My Word.  Those, who refuse to repent of their sins and
 continue to sin, can only expect the consequences of their actions to
 bring them death.  These people in their parades are so flaunting their
 sins in My face, that they are bringing My blazing wrath upon them.  When
 you see this destruction, take a lesson America, because there is more
 to come for the rest of your sins of abortion, euthanasia,
 prostitution, adultery, and cloning.”  Jesus said: “My people, your travel over
 roads is going to be more treacherous because of the many disasters that
 will be blocking your roads.  In some areas you could see severe mud
 slides over your roads.  In other areas volcanoes with dust or lava could
 block some roads.  In the North you could see major snowfalls block
 your roads.  And in some states with tornadoes or high winds, you could
 see more blocked roads from downed trees.  Such blocked transportation
 could keep your trucks from bringing food, fuel, and other essential
 needs.  These natural disasters could compound any recession or slowdown
 in your economy.  Your markets have been very volatile because of your
 credit market problems.  If enough consumers slow up their buying, any
 downturn could get much worse.  Pray for your ability to feed yourselves
 and maintain your markets.”
 
Thursday, January 24, 2008: (St. Francis de Sales)
         Jesus said: “My people, the immorality of your society is dictating
 how you run your businesses of today.  In the beginning of your
 Industrial Revolution your people worked long and hard hours for little pay and
 no benefits as your business tycoons made all the money.  There was not
 much competition then, but gradually your workers unionized to get
 better pay and some benefits.  Once your workers made good money and
 benefits, there was a new middle class created whose buying power has made
 America the largest market of today.  Now, unions are very thinly
 populated.  Any strikes could destroy a company because of your fierce
 competition.  At one time America as a nation defended its workers with
 tariffs and ‘made in America’ meant good quality.  Now, your tycoons and
 business barons on Wall Street are pushing your workers back into the old
 days of slave labor wages and no benefits which explains why they are
 making mountains of profit, and they are not sharing it with the
 workers.  If anything, they are shipping your jobs overseas or allowing other
 countries to exploit you with their factories here.  As a result, the
 buying power of the middle class is shrinking back to the poor class,
 but your markets will be shrinking as well.  The inequity of income
 between the employer and the employee is so great that you will see more
 stealing and revolting against these tycoons.  Your country is headed for
 not just a recession, but a major crisis because the one world people
 want to exploit you as their slaves.  This is why they want to control
 you like robots with chips in your bodies, which you should refuse at
 all costs.  The greed for money and control has so obsessed the rich and
 your leaders that they are following Satan’s plan to put the Antichrist
 in place.  This coming tribulation will be brief as I will bring My
 victory over the evil ones while I protect My faithful at My refuges.  Be
 patient because these evil ones will be cast into hell, and My
 faithful will see their reward in My Era of Peace, and later in heaven.”   
         Prayer Group:
     Jesus said: “My people, have no fear because I am always at your
 side ready to lead you by the hand to places of refuge during the
 tribulation.  This vision is very vivid, but it is also very reassuring to
 all of My faithful whom I will treat in like manner.  Do not be fearful
 of the coming dates of disasters, but have peace in your souls that you
 will be provided for in all of your needs.”
         Jesus said: “My people, the large church in the background represents
 My Holy Church and the clergy, and the small home in the foreground is
 where you will have to have your Masses in the home.  As you prepare
 for the end times, put aside some unconsecrated hosts, candles, altar
 wine, vestments, chalices, and Mass books for your future home Masses.
  You will be blessed to have a priest for your secret Masses.”
         Jesus said: “My people, I have given you the signs before of when it
 will be necessary for your safety to leave for your refuges and follow
 your guardian angel.  There will be a world famine created by the one
 world people forcing people to use smart  chips in order to buy your
 food.  There will be a formal division in My Church between the schismatic
 church and My faithful remnant.  There will be mandatory chips in the
 body and those, who refuse them if caught, will be put into death camps
 to be killed.  There will also be a created event of many deaths from a
 pandemic flu spread by chem trails that will precipitate an emergency
 martial law.  When you see these signs, call on Me and I will have your
 guardian angels lead you to the nearest refuge of My Blessed Mother’s
 places of apparition, places of holy ground, or caves.  You will be
 protected and provided for at My refuges until I return to claim victory
 over all of the evil ones.”
         Jesus said: “My people, you will soon be in another Lenten Season when
 you will have a special time to think of your sins and seek My
 forgiveness.  You suffer with Me every day that you pick up your cross and
 carry it through the trials of your days.  As you approach the time of
 tribulation, you will be suffering your purgatory on earth, which is
 better than suffering true purgatory.  I will give you all the graces that
 you need so you will be able to endure this trial.”
         Jesus said: “My people, today you are seeing your Catholic schools
 being closed for insufficient funds.  Tomorrow you will be seeing your
 churches being closed because of lack of attendance, money, few priests,
 and payment for homosexual cases in lawyer suits.  It is sad at each
 closing as you see My Church under persecution from inside and outside of
 My Church.”
         Jesus said: “My people, you are wondering why My churches are falling
 on hard times, but it is because you are taking the ‘sacred’ out of My
 traditional churches.  When you remove the statues, crucifixes, and
 tabernacles out of the main church, you are making cold blank walls with
 My Real Presence in back rooms.  When the people are stripped of their
 reverence for My Blessed Sacrament, then it is hard to know of My Real
 Presence and the ‘sacred’ of My traditions.  Preserve the ‘sacred’ by
 keeping My tabernacle in the main church, with occasional Adoration
 services for all the people.  It is My faithful adorers who will preserve
 the faith until I return.”
         Jesus said: “My people, the time of tribulation draws near.  Lent
 would be a special time to build up your spiritual strength for what you
 are  about to endure.  You have your Lenten penances of fasting,
 almsgiving, and extra prayers including daily Mass.  You have the Stations of
 the Cross, extra visits to My Blessed Sacrament, and the reading of the
 Liturgy of the Hours.  All of these devotions and Confession can store
 up treasure in heaven and bring graces and  blessings on you for your
 protection.  You are in a spiritual battle against evil, and you need
 spiritual protection for this fight.”
Friday, January 25, 2008: (Conversion of St. Paul)
         Jesus said: “My people, today’s feast day of the ‘Conversion of St.
 Paul’ was very dramatic in how Saul was blinded by My Light and he fell
 off of his horse.  He was changed from a Saul, who persecuted
 Christians, to  a Paul who now would be My greatest evangelist of the Gentiles.
  This miracle conversion is how many Christians were brought over to the
 faith in Me.  The vision of building the upper part of a house
  represents how I take you with all of your talents, and I rebuild your
 spiritual life which is the more important part of your life on a higher
 plane.  Infusing faith into your soul is My greatest gift to all of My
 followers, but it starts with your ‘yes’ in opening the door of your heart
 to Me.  Once you believe, then now you are called to do good works for
 your neighbor and share your faith with others in your own
 evangelization efforts.  Saving souls from hell is now your most important life
 work, even beyond your earthly accomplishments.  St. Paul should be an
 inspiration for all that you could do for Me, if you really put your heart
 into My work.”
         Jesus said: “My people, I have given you messages before about the
 coming natural disasters that could be larger than normal.  This vision is
 about another coming volcanic release that will sound like a jet as
 the hot gases and magma are released.  This explosion from the side of a
 mountain is very much like Mt. St. Helen’s release of a pyroclastic
 flow of ash and earth.  Depending on the size and proximity to population
 centers, this explosion could take many lives in its path.  Be
 forewarned about such an event as there will be ground tremors before it takes
 off.  If the smoke and ash goes up high enough, you could see a
 reduction in your temperature in this area, and an effect on your weather.
  Each of these major events are going to be happening close to each other,
 as many will need to call on My help to give them adequate peace in
 this trial.  Trust in My help and protection in keeping you safe from the
 evil ones.”
 
Saturday, January 26, 2008: (St. Timothy & St. Titus)
         Jesus said: “My people, there was joy in My apostles and My disciples
 that they could bring My Good News of salvation to all the peoples.
  They touched the hearts and souls of those who were open to receive My
 graces and blessings.  They healed the sicknesses of the body in addition
 to the sickness of sin in the souls.  I also healed the whole person
 in the body and soul.  Their evangelization efforts were done even at
 the risk of being martyred for their faith.  Today, My faithful can
 evangelize without fear of death, but it is harder to get people to pray and
 praise God amidst many world distractions of comforts and pleasures.
  As you look on this vision it means that you need to look up to Me for
 your direction and not at your earthly direction.  Once you can die to
 self, and follow My plan for your mission, then you will accomplish
 more spiritual good in My service.  When I call you to evangelize souls,
 do not be spiritually lazy, but jump to the opportunity to save souls.
  If you knew how much souls suffered in hell, you would work all the
 harder to keep souls from going there.  Ask the harvest Master to send
 more laborers into My vineyard of souls, even as I told My disciples that
 now they would be fishers of men.  Pray and work to save as many souls
 as possible, and your reward in heaven will be great.”
         Jesus said: “My people, this yellow caution light on a stoplight, and
 the yellow color of the school bus in the vision, is a warning to
 America.  Time is running out for your country to repent and stop your many
 abortions before you will soon see My judgment against you.  The few
 children on this bus represents the reduced number of children because
 you are killing them in the womb, along with your birth control devices
 and pills.  All of these acts of murder and abuses of the marriage act
 are calling out for My justice.  Many of your natural disasters are
 being allowed since I have removed My blessings from you because of these
 grave sins.  You continue on with your sins without even recognizing how
 much you are offending Me.  You are almost oblivious to the value of
 the precious life that you are killing in the womb.  Wake up America to
 the shame of your sins, and repent of them.  If you refuse to ask My
 forgiveness, then you can expect sudden destruction.”
 
Sunday, January 27, 2008:
         Jesus said: “My people, it is one thing to be called to repent and
 become one of My followers.  It is another thing to live out your calling
 by helping others to come to the faith in Me by your own evangelization
 efforts.  There are different levels of calling, even as each of you
 have been given different talents to achieve your own mission.  Today’s
 Gospel speaks of how I called My apostles to listen and spread My Word
 among all the nations.  I do call many to the religious life either as
 priests, nuns, or the cloistered clergy.  Giving up your life for My
 dedicated service is a difficult but rewarding service.  In order to have
 fertile ground for future priests, you must pray for vocations, and
 that young men will be encouraged by their parents and friends to be
 willing to deal with the demands of diocesan life.  Many places of
 Adoration of My Blessed Sacrament are places where future priests could find a
 love of the ‘sacred’.  I call certain people in your times to be
 prophets or messengers of My Word, as you have accepted this mission.  My
 chosen ones need to be holy, and they need your prayers to support them as
 well.  It is not easy to preach My Word, but again the saving of souls
 is your reward.  I call every lay person to do their part as well to
 enrich your faith and that of your family members.  Families need prayer
 warriors to look up to and My true faithful need to be good examples
 for others to imitate your spiritual lives.  Prayer is needed every day
 to save sinners, help souls in purgatory, for peace, and a stoppage of
 abortion and your many sexual sins.  I cannot violate people’s free
 will, but I can encourage you to love Me and your neighbor.  When you have
 love and charity in your heart, you will be drawn to do many good
 works for My sake and not just your own.  Keep focused on My call in your
 lives, and I will send you the graces and blessings needed to carry out
 your mission.”
 
Monday, January 28, 2008: (St. Thomas Acquinas)
         Jesus said: “My people, these demons in the vision are looking to
 destroy souls and they are found most in your cities where drugs and
 killings are constantly happening.  There is a greed for quick money among
 the poor in selling drugs with no care of making drug addicts which then
 encourages stealing.  In the cities and even in your towns you see
 adult book shops, and places of exotic dancers and prostitution.  All of
 these evils in pleasures and comforts encourage more sins of fornication,
 adultery, and even abortions.  Pray for the people in the cities, that
 you can clean up these dens of sin, or your country will turn further
 into spiritual decadence calling for My justice.  You have seen cities
 of sin destroyed in past biblical accounts, and you will see more to
 come in this evil age.”
         Jesus said: “My people, caves are good hiding places, but for
 breathing and escapes, you need to have two exits with a vent for air.  It also
 would be wise to put some brush to hide each entrance, especially from
 wild animals.  Many caves have self sustaining water sources from
 water springs.  They are damp and cold, so you will need bedding off the
 ground on some stands, and warm clothing.  Call on My angels to protect
 you from animals and to provide for your food which I could multiply.
  It may also be good to have some insulation to help you to keep warm by
 wrapping a tent in some plastic covers.  My angels will protect you
 wherever you establish your refuges.  They will fight off the demons, as
 well as evil men trying to kill you.  When you put your trust in Me, I
 will provide for all of your needs.”
 
Tuesday, January 29, 2008: 
         Jesus said: “My people, there is no other reason to force microchips
 on you other than to control you.  The one world people brainwash you
 with all kinds of excuses as inventory and medical identification which
 you could have without chips, as in bar codes.  The people are being
 restrained, as in the vision, by microchips in your passports, licenses,
 and RFID chips in everything you buy, and they are making you their
 captive audience without your approval.  These mandatory restraints in the
 name of security, will be the same reason when in the next step they
 make chips in the body mandatory.  Refuse to take any chips in your body
 because they could then control your minds and your free will.  Chips
 in the body will truly make you captive robots, so you would rather die
 than take them.  This step of mandatory chips in the body is the sign
 to quickly flee to My refuges so you are not at home when they come to
 try and force these chips on you.  Now is the time to not use any such
 chips in passports or licenses, so they cannot track your whereabouts.
  If they force these on you, then wrap them in aluminum foil so they
 cannot be read.  When you need to go to the refuge, call on Me and I will
 have your guardian angels lead you to the nearest refuge of My Blessed
 Mother’s apparition, holy ground places, or caves of protection.  Pray
 for your protection in these evil times because you will need My angels
 to fight your battles.”
     Jesus said: “My people, flooding and tornadoes are already
 starting up in various parts of your country, even as these things occur
 usually in the spring.  Snow and rain are alternating with each cold wave
 and heat wave.  It is the changing weather patterns that are causing the
 heavy winds and occasional tornadoes.  Some drought areas are getting
 replenished with a few rain storms.  Pray for protection for your houses
 from any sporadic wind storms and snow storms.  With blessed medals,
 scapulars, and blessed salt, you could see My protection in keeping your
 homes unharmed.  Some homes in the California fires were protected
 from the flames in the same way.  By trusting in My protection, you will
 also be protected from the evil ones in the coming tribulation.”
 
Wednesday, January 30, 2008:
         Jesus said: “My people, I want you to look on these people in the
 vision and see how they lived off the land and cared for each other so that
 everyone had enough to eat and survive.  Each person makes a
 contribution of their talents to provide for the needs of the community.  When
 you need to come to My refuges, you may have to live a different life
 than what you are used to now.  At your homes it is easier to have
 natural gas heat your homes than having to find wood for fuel every day.  You
 have water lines, electricity lines, and phone lines for your
 computers.  In the rural refuges you may need to use wood fires by foraging for
 wood in the forest.  You may need to kill animals for your meat, and
 grow crops for your vegetables and grains.  You will have springs for
 water, but it may be more difficult to bathe, and clean clothes and
 dishes.  You will need to assign duties for shelter, fuel, and food
 preparation.  For your survival I will help with My angels to keep the evil
 ones away from you, but you will have communal life to help each other
 survive.  Living in full trust in Me and in a loving fellowship will
 sustain you through the coming tribulation.  Rejoice and give thanks to Me
 for protecting you and providing for your needs.  This will be a saintly
 life with a lot less effect from earthly distractions.  You will live
 in daily prayer and in complete consecration of giving everything up to
 My Will.  Love Me and one another, as you will be closer in working
 with each other.”
 
Thursday, January 31, 2008: (St. John Bosco)
         Jesus said: “My people, when many of the priests are away on vacation,
 it is difficult to find a Mass for today.  You were fortunate to have
 a priest available today so you could have the ‘Sacrifice of the Mass’.
  Communion services do share in My Body and Blood of Communion, but
 they are no substitute for the greatest prayer in the ‘Sacrifice of the
 Mass’.  The Mass and the priests are great gifts that you should
 appreciate, and you appreciate the Mass even more when you experience a time
 when you cannot attend a Mass.  Do not take the Mass for granted because
 during the tribulation, it will be even more difficult to find a
 priest for a Mass at your refuge.  I have told you that if you cannot attend
 a Mass, to call on Me in a Spiritual Communion if you cannot have
 Communion either.  During the tribulation, I will have My angels bring you
 Holy Communion if you cannot have Communion or a Mass.  Rejoice that I
 will still be with you in My Real Presence even to the end of time.”
Prayer Group:
     Jesus said: “My people, many were surprised to see a large crowd
 protesting abortion in Washington, D.C. this year.  It was good that
 your press reported the right number instead of trying to downplay the
 importance of this event.  My people need to pray much and protest in
 order to overturn this evil in your land.  Changing your court position is
 difficult, but you still must struggle for a change in your attitude to
 put life above money and convenience.”
         Jesus said: “My people, amidst a lot of sad news in closing schools
 and churches, there are also some bright spots to give My faithful hope
 that some good things are happening as well.  There are some
 conservative parishes that are daring to renew your old traditions.  It is this
 appearance of tradition that gives people a true sense of church when
 they come to Mass.  By having the traditional saints, angels, and crucifix
 before you, it is easier to meditate on the real heroes of your
 Church.”
         Jesus said: “My people, you have been taught to be independent and
 carry your own weight, but you are all still dependent on Me for
 everything.  It is when your neighborhoods are tested with winds, snow, and
 power outages that you should pool your resources together to help each
 other.  Keeping warm with heat and food are necessities that you should be
 willing to share with each other when you have damaged homes or power
 outages.  Even take up some collections to get people back on their
 feet.  All, that you do for your neighbor out of love, will store treasure
 in heaven for your judgment.”
         Jesus said: “My people, some small gestures of troop withdrawals are
 being conducted to appease the people who are against these wars.  Much
 of this withdrawal is window dressing because of your upcoming
 elections.  The truth of the overspending and long stay in Iraq is wearing on
 your people and your military, but the powers in your government do not
 want to admit their mistake in the war, and they want to start even
 more wars after the election.  While your people have a chance for change,
 now is the time to bring this war to an end, or it will be your
 undoing in deficits and lost troops.”
         Jesus said: “My people, your mortgage bankers and brokers are the
 cause of your credit problems because they were greedy to make commissions
 and profits without warning the buyers of their future obligations.
  Now your government leaders want to cause more deficits to keep your
 country from going into recession.  It is your banks and the rich that will
 profit from any corporate welfare and lower interest rates to bail out
 their bad loans.  It would be better to change your laws to inform
 borrowers than lower interest rates again which is what caused your
 housing bubble in the first place.  Pray for your people to be able to afford
 a house and not be swindled by brokers trying to make big commissions
 without concern if the borrowers could afford their loans in truth on
 their lending.  It is the greedy and the rich who are at fault for your
 problems, and they will pay at their judgment.”
         Jesus said: “My people, Lent is less than a week away, so now would be
 a good time to take a spiritual inventory of how you could improve
 your spiritual life.  Try to offer up some sacrifices that are truly
 challenging and could improve where you are today.  Think more of prayer and
 sharing with others as much as you can.  The more that you give of
 yourself to others, the less selfish that you will be in your life.  Give
 more time to Me in how I could use your time and money to do good works
 for your neighbor.  Let Me lead you in your daily consecration so that
 you are doing things for Me and not just to please yourself.  Love
 needs to come from the heart, and it is the good intentions in your heart
 that will lead to good actions and your making a good Lent.”
 
 
Friday, February 1, 2008:
         Jesus said: “My people, in today’s reading about King David, (Samuel
 11:1-17) he is attracted to the beauty of Bathsheba without concern
 whether she was already married to Uriah the Hittite.  David had adultery
 with her and she conceived a child.  To cover his sin David had Uriah
 killed in battle so he could take Uriah’s wife.  Nathan the prophet
 chastised David for his sin and David repented and suffered the loss of this
 son and Absolom as payment for David’s sin.  In your society today
 many marriages are destroyed by this same sin of adultery with other
 people’s spouses.  Whether it be a woman attracted to another man, or a man
 attracted to another woman, it is wrong to seek another against the
 vows to their own wife or husband.  It is even sinful for such desires
 even without committing adultery, because you are committing adultery in
 your heart.  Be faithful to your spouses, and do not dwell on such
 desires for another.  Without such affairs, you would have fewer divorces.
  Live committed to your vows, and love your spouses without thoughts of
 loving any other person.  By treasuring your own spouse in being
 constantly faithful, you will also have treasure in heaven for denying any
 bodily pleasures with another.  Love for Me and your spouse is special
 and pure, and you should avoid tainting this love with any sin.”
     Jesus said: “My people, in the Bible and the Liturgy of the Hours
 you read the Psalms, the Epistles of St. Paul, and the Gospel passages.
  When you read My Word, you see how much I suffered and how your
 suffering is joined with Mine.  There is joy, hope, and peace in My Word
 because it satisfies the soul like nothing else on earth.  It is the Word
 that opens the door to My Light to enlighten your minds about the
 faith.  My Word is also about love of God and love of neighbor.  Unless you
 open the door to your heart, it is hard for Me to enter and move your
 head knowledge down into love in your heart.  Once you understand the
 faith by the power of the Holy Spirit, then you are moved into action to
 do good deeds for your neighbor out of love for Me.  So the lesson is
 to read some good spiritual books so you will be inspired to follow My
 Will in all that you do for Me.  See that you are being led on your
 mission by the plan that I have for your life.  All I ask is that you give
 Me your ‘yes’ in following Me, and I will lead you to eternal life in
 heaven.”
 
Saturday, February 2, 2008: (Presentation in the Temple)
         St. Bernadette said: “My dear little one, I thank you for the
 opportunity to speak to your granddaughter, Jocelyn, and thank her for taking
 my name for her Confirmation name.  I want Jocelyn to be grateful to be
 able to have a good Catholic upbringing at Archangel School, and a
 chance to receive Our Lord in Communion at the Mass.  Your mother and your
 grandparents are trying to help you to be a good Christian girl.  Your
 grandfather, John, has been inspired as your sponsor to give you this
 book of my life and the messages that I received from our Blessed
 Mother.  It is good to use us saints as an inspiration to follow in your
 life.  This seems like a large book, but try to read a few pages at a time
 for your Lenten inspiration.  Your grandparents have been to Lourdes,
 France and they can testify to the true electric feeling of the holy
 spring of water.  I want you to live a life of total consecration to Jesus
 and His Blessed Mother.  Remember your prayer life every day and daily
 love for Jesus.”
         “I also want to encourage Christina as well and remind her of her
 calling as well to a good prayer life.  I am your namesake as well and you
 could share in these gifts of the movie and my book.  Thank you for
 listening to my call for following me as a model for your life.”
         Jesus said: “My people, man has fished for seafood for many years, but
 some greedy fisherman are over fishing the fishing banks from all of
 your countries.  In some areas the fish population is decreasing because
 it is being upset by man’s influence on the balance of nature.  As the
 general population of people increases, it is becoming harder to feed
 everyone with meat, vegetables, grains, rice, potatoes, and fresh
 water.  Even some nations have resorted to fish pond farming to provide more
 fish to make up for over fishing.  Man has to be more prudent in
 preserving his environment with less pollution.  By making the right
 incentives, people could reduce their energy needs and not waste precious
 fuels and water.  Look at nature and the animals and how they do not waste
 food or abuse their environment.  Make nature’s balance a lesson for
 how you should live, so you can pass on a clean earth for the next
 generation.”
 
Sunday, February 3, 2008: 
         Jesus said: “My people, I am the Light of the world, and I open up
 hearts and minds to be enlightened with My Word and My love.  It is hard
 at times for people to receive My love unless they open up their cold
 hearts to My love.  It is difficult for some to open their hearts until
 they count the cost of giving over control of their lives to Me, so I
 can lead them.  A real consecration of giving over your will to My Divine
 Will is all about blind trust in Me through the eyes of faith.  Every
 time  that you have to make some big decisions in life, you should come
 to Me in prayer to let Me lead you on the best path for your soul.  By
 letting Me lead you, and by being one of My followers, then you will
 have confidence that you are on the right path to heaven.  In the
 darkness of the evil of this world, you need My Light to show you the way to
 eternal life.”
 
Monday, February 4, 2008:
         Jesus said: “My people, the Legion of demons that I drove out of the
 possessed man went into two thousand swine who then ran down into the
 sea and drowned. (Mark 5:1-13) These demons recognized that I was God,
 and they acknowledged My power over them to torment them for not serving
 Me.  This again is an example to you how I will come and cast all the
 demons into hell at the end of the tribulation.  My angels will protect
 you at the refuges from any demons.  The demons will be allowed their
 hour of reign to test My faithful.  Fear not these evil ones because
 they will leave you when you invoke My Name, ‘Jesus’.  At the time of My
 victory you will see My power in full glory against every demon as they
 all will be chained in hell.  Rejoice, My people, for this coming time
 and be patient for a short time of the Antichrist’s reign.  Keep hope
 and faith in My power during this brief reign of evil that I will allow.
  I will cleanse the earth of all evil and renew it so you will enjoy
 My Era of Peace.”
     Jesus said:  “My people, you know of the story of Lourdes with St.
 Bernadette discovering a newly formed spring of water at the grotto
 where My Blessed Mother appeared.  This was a confirmation of her
 messages as being true, and many have been healed by drinking and bathing in
 these miraculous waters.  The vision of the sky is where the luminous
 cross will appear over the places of My Blessed Mother’s apparitions, as
 in Lourdes.  These places will be refuges of protection for My faithful
 during the tribulation.  All of My refuges will have springs of
 healing water, as well as healings by looking on the luminous crosses.  Learn
 from My Blessed Mother’s messages and all the miracles that she was
 instrumental in performing to give heaven’s confirmation and approval of
 what was being said.  It is difficult for man to believe in such
 apparitions, but he must be open to heaven’s communication through gifted
 messengers.  Discern and test what is given, but remain open to heaven’s
 leading you to follow My Word.”
         Anniversary of my father’s death in 2001: My father thanked Jocelyn
 for remembering him from time to time like at High Falls, and when he
 came at their house.  He is confirming that Jocelyn should be linked
 closer to St. Bernadette, her Confirmation name.  She has to have her heart
 open more to focus on the saints.
 
Tuesday, February 5, 2008: (St. Agatha)
         Jesus said: “My people, there is a contrast between the two deaths in
 today’s readings.  In the book of Samuel  Absolom was killed after he
 was hanging by his hair from a tree.  He was seeking out David, but
 David paid for his sins in his son, 
Absolom’s death.  In Mark’s Gospel reading a twelve year old girl died
 as I was on My way to heal her.  I told the people that she was only
 sleeping, but they ridiculed Me and did not know My power to raise people
 from the dead.  I am the ‘Living Water’ of the spring in the vision,
 and I am the Resurrection and the Life, even as I later raised up
 Lazarus as well.  You are just about to start your Lenten Season tomorrow on
 Ash Wednesday.  Then you will be suffering with Me up to Good Friday
 and you will witness My own Resurrection into Life in a glorified body.
  This revival of life in this little girl is another example of how I
 have power even over death itself.  I am the same ‘Living Water’ that
 will raise up all of My faithful to eternal life with Me in heaven.
  Believe that I am your Savior, and all, who follow Me and obey My
 Commandments, will also be resurrected one day.”
         Jesus said: “My people, it is a crime against America’s taxpayers to
 continue making weapons and running wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  You
 are in the middle of a Presidential campaign and few of your candidates
 are talking about stopping these wars because you cannot afford them.
  It is the rich and your current establishment run by the one world
 people that are advocating these wars to make money on the weapons and the
 interest on the deficits that these wars are accumulating.  You are
 profiting nothing from these wars since your ‘War on Terror’ has been
 manufactured for continuous wars.  It is time for your people to vote
 against this continuous killings both in wars and in abortion.  Stop your
 death culture from controlling your purse strings, or these killings will
 destroy you.  My patience with your killings is also growing thin, and
 you will see more punishment occurring in your natural disasters.
  Your government is totally controlled by the one world people, and they
 will control whoever you put in office as president.  It is just a matter
 of time until you are faced with martial law and no rights.  Then you
 will need to let My angels lead you to your nearest refuge to protect
 your life and your soul.  Pray for My help and discernment what to do in
 the coming tribulation.”
 
Wednesday, February 6, 2008: (Ash Wednesday)
         Jesus said: “My people, the people of Nineveh, including the king, put
 on sackcloth and ashes as a sign of repentance for their sins, and I
 spared the city of its destruction.  As you receive your ashes as an
 outward sign of the beginning of Lent, you also should be repenting for
 your sins as well.  If your country of America also repented of your sins
 as Nineveh did, then you would not face My wrath as you will be seeing
 over time.  This outward sign of ashes should also be followed with
 more prayer and fasting between meals.  You should also be more mindful
 of helping others with your time and donations.  You are so conscious of
 your outward appearance to others, but you should be looking into each
 other’s hearts to share the love of My Gospel every day, and not just
 on Ash Wednesday.  Look into the appearance of your soul to Me, and
 have your sins cleansed in Confession to make your soul look white and
 pure before Me.  Lent is a wonderful opportunity to improve your spiritual
 life, so work hard on areas that need improvement.”
     Jesus said: “My people, lighthouses along the shore are a
 safeguard for ships in storms at sea.  The statue of My Blessed Mother by the
 lighthouse is a safety for souls when she protects you from the trials
 of life with her mantle.  She is joined with Me in putting My Light into
 the darkness of sin in the world so souls can find their way home to
 Me.  Our love and our protection reaches out to every soul open to
 receive My graces.  We do not force our love on you, but you are receiving
 our invitation to know and love us.  You have been witnessing some
 severe tornadoes that have caused some deaths.  You can place blessed
 medals, scapulars, and blessed salt around your home, and you will have
 protection from any storms in your area.  You have seen many miracles of
 houses spared damage that have blessed sacramentals and statues of My
 Blessed Mother or of My Sacred Heart in their houses.  This physical
 protection is a witness, but our spiritual protection from demons and evil
 people, will be even more important to saving your souls.  Continue your
 daily rosaries and daily Masses to keep on the right path to heaven and
 gain fruit in your Lenten Season.  Give praise to Me and honor to My
 Blessed Mother for watching over our children.”
 
Thursday, February 7, 2008:
         Jesus said: “My people, My Lenten call today is to deny yourself and
 take up your daily cross of suffering with Me.  It is not easy to go
 against your own will, but in order to save your life, you must lose it to
 Me.  By following My Commandments, as Moses directed, and choosing
 life in Me rather than the curse, you will save your soul.  What does it
 profit you to gain the whole world, and then lose your soul?  Taking up
 your cross means that you will deny yourself and let Me lead you in
 full trust.  It means that every day you will consecrate everything over
 to Me so I can use you to fulfill your intended mission in life.  Make
 every decision by consulting Me in prayer so I can confirm the best
 choice for your soul.  It is better to be in spiritual obedience to Me and
 your spiritual director than to do everything on your own.  Wait for Me
 to lead you and do not go ahead of Me, and life will be easier for
 you, and more rewarding that you followed My directions.  Taking up your
 cross in this life will require some sacrifices, but your earthly
 struggle will find a heavenly reward.  This is why during Lent it is good to
 do some penances as fasting between meals, doing extra prayers, and
 suffering to do without something that you enjoy, as desserts.  By putting
 some restrictions on the body’s desires and comforts, your soul will
 be made stronger against temptations from the devil.  Your first
 inclination of good can come from your guardian angel, but your second
 inclination to evil or to be lazy could be from the devil.  So remember to
 choose life over the curse so you can join Me in heaven for all eternity.”
Prayer Group:
         Jesus said: “My people, as you watch the rich on Wall Street and the
 candidates who spend millions of dollars to get elected, you can
 understand how money and wealth runs their lives.  The man or woman, that is
 rich for themselves, will be tempted strongly to depend more on their
 wealth than on Me to sustain them through life.  If you truly are one of
 My followers, you would give everything over to Me and help your
 neighbor in their needs.  Your  wealth is of little value to your soul, but
 by sharing your wealth with others, you could store treasure in heaven.
  Trust more in Me than in anything of this world.”
         Jesus said: “My people, this vacant chair in the White House means
 that the President will need to seek safety either from a natural disaster
 or a terror incident.  I have told you that the one world people will
 be staging another major incident that could trigger a national
 emergency so martial law could be declared.  At such a time any group could
 begin a takeover of your country and demand chips in the body be made
 mandatory for control of your people.  Trust in Me that I will protect you
 at My refuges during this tribulation.”
         Jesus said: “My people, the time for the North American Union to take
 over your country is quickly approaching.  As your freedoms are quietly
 being compromised, your people will soon realize who is controlling
 your wars, money, and even your jobs.  Once the one world people
 establish martial law in America, you will soon see the North American Union
 come into power.  This will soon be followed by the Antichrist taking
 over all of these unions to set up his kingdom.  This is why when martial
 law is established, you must flee to your refuges for protection with
 My angels.”
         Jesus said: 
“My people, before martial law is declared, you will see the men in
 black raiding homes to capture those in opposition to the coming new world
 order.  They will try to surprise you before martial law is declared,
 but I will warn you to leave ahead of their plans.  Again by following
 My plan, you will be protected at My refuges.  Fear not these evil
 ones, even if you are called to martyrdom for  My Name’s sake.”
         Jesus said: “My people, your business and government people are
 warning you of an imminent recession of a weak economy about to develop.  In
 addition to all the mortgage debts, you could see many more people
 falling on hard times with the many fires and tornadoes destroying their
 homes.  This year will be one of the worst on record for destruction to
 your buildings, and it will enhance your recession into a deeper
 economic slump.  All of these events will make it easier for a takeover of
 your country.  Pray for My protection in a time when evil will have a
 brief reign.”
         Jesus said: “My people, as house values continue to fall further, and
 homes are harder to sell, more people will leave their homes to the
 banks who will then be making more markdowns because they cannot get
 enough money back on auctioned homes.  These financial woes will compound
 your deficits and could come close to national bankruptcy.  Such a
 financial disaster would ruin much wealth and leave many homeless or in
 makeshift homes.  All of these events, coming from many directions, will be
 leading to a national takeover.  Pray much at your refuges, and I will
 supply your physical needs.”
         Jesus said: “My people, as your recession will worsen, many tax
 supported elements of your population will find problems in getting enough
 money to live.  In your cities you could see more rioting and stealing as
 people struggle to survive.  This chaos and threats to life will be
 another reason to call on Me to lead you to the safety of My refuges.
  The one world people will pay in the end for their evil deeds when I
 bring about My victory over evil.”
 
Friday, February 8, 2008: 
         Jesus said: “My people, you have been reading about fasting in both
 readings, which is one of your Lenten penances.  Prayer and fasting are
 mentioned often in the lives of the saints.  Fasting helps you to focus
 more on Me and less on your worldly distractions.  You have to
 consciously remember to avoid eating snacks at night or between meals.  This
 restricts the body from frivolous eating that is not necessary, and it
 gives the soul more control over the desires of the body.  At times you
 like to shop for the latest electronic gadgets or other things in your
 shopping malls.  But during Lent you could restrain yourself from such
 worldly things that are not necessities.  Refrain even from frivolous
 looking in magazines or the internet for the same things.  Again by
 focusing more on Me than on any luxuries or unnecessary purchases, you will
 be more holy and less worldly.  Instead of watching TV movies and other
 programing, you could spend that time reading a spiritual book or a
 book on the lives of the saints.  During Lent you are trying to build up
 your spiritual lives, so you need time to do this, and you need
 examples to imitate.  Lent is about changing your lazy lifestyles into being a
 better Christian by practicing what you believe.”
     Jesus said: “My people, this tsunami wave coming ashore in the
 vision will also be associated with many deaths.  Sometimes there is much
 disease that follows such a devastation because of the standing water
 that takes a while  to flow back into the sea.  This bug in the vision
 will be dangerous to man because it will carry a new flu virus that will
 be contagious as well as deadly.  This virus will be of man-made
 origin and it is designed to cause many deaths.  Be prepared by building up
 your immune systems to such viruses.  Avoid any places where tsunamis
 have come ashore.  If martial law is declared in America because of
 these created incidents, then leave for My refuges where you will be healed
 of any viruses by drinking the spring water or looking at the luminous
 cross.  No matter what the evil ones are planning, I will confound
 them and My angels will protect you.”
 
Saturday, February 9, 2008: 
         Jesus said: “My people, the devil in the serpent attracted man and
 woman in Adam and Eve to take of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of
 Good and Evil by saying they would be like gods.  The devil attacked
 their pride so they could be like Me in knowing about good and evil.
  After eating the forbidden fruit, it was then that they realized that
 they were naked, and they hid from God because they were ashamed of their
 sin.  Even today the devil continues to attack your pride by making the
 people want to run their own lives instead of Me.  It is by your pride
 that the devil tempts you not to go to Confession saying you are good
 and did not sin.  The devil is the great deceiver and liar.  He will
 tell you anything to get you to sin against Me.  Do not believe his lies
 and give him Scriptures as I did to answer his temptations.  Do not
 dwell on temptations or have any fear or worry because you have trust in
 Me to provide grace and rest for your soul.  I pour out My gifts on you,
 and I see to all of your needs.  Most of all have love in your heart
 for Me and your neighbor as yourself.  You must pray much to counter all
 the evil in your world, and I will send My angels to protect you from
 the demons.  Evil only succeeds where good people do nothing or evil
 things.  By having a heart that loves Me dearly, you will be called to
 only perform good deeds instead of evil ones.  Temptations will be with
 you until your death, but I am always at your side to lead you on the
 right path to heaven.  Just ask for My help in My Name, and the demons
 will leave you.”
 
Sunday, February 10, 2008:
         Jesus said: “My people, in the readings today you are openly seeing
 how the devil tempted Me, and he tempts you constantly to sin.  I am
 showing you how the devil is constantly stirring up anger and divisions
 between peoples.  He is constantly causing estranged relationships in
 families and among nations.  Satan hates man and he does everything to
 encourage killing in wars, abortion, euthanasia, and killing over drugs and
 possessions.  The vision of war in killing others is the result of sin
 and division caused by the devil.  The evil one taunts the rich to
 cause wars in order to profit from weapons sales and interest on war
 debts.  Do not be taken in by the puppets of the one world people who are
 always encouraging  wars against terrorism, ethnic differences, or even
 regime changes.  All wars have evil causes and are a scourge among men.
  Some wars are just in fighting against despots or ruthless dictators
 who are invading other nations.  Wars against terrorism are made up
 wars,  so refuse to be misled in such staged reasons for war.  Pray for
 peace and diplomatic solutions to bring compromise in disagreements.
  Pray for peace in your families before you can have peace in the world.
  Pray even for My peace which is much more lasting than man’s peace.
  Remember how the devil encourages fighting and disagreements so you can be
 on guard to dismiss such temptations and seek to love one another
 instead.  Love can conquer all of your evil wars if you have love in your
 heart for Me and your neighbor.”
 
Monday, February 11, 2008:(150th Anniversary of Our Lady of Lourdes)
         Jesus said: “My people, this vision of St. Michael, the archangel,
 with his sword is representing how he battles all the demons.  He fights
 demons for nations and he especially battles the demons around places of
 apparitions like Lourdes, and demons around messengers or prophets.
  When visionaries are receiving apparitions, or inner locutions, call on
 St. Michael in your exorcism prayer of St. Michael.  This is why you
 have been directed to pray your Act of Contrition and your St. Michael
 prayer before you receive Me in Holy Communion and when you are receiving
 a message before My Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle.  My angels
 are very powerful over the demons.  Wherever heavenly messages are being
 given, the demons are there to try and interfere with this gift of Mine
 to the world.  Give praise and thanks to Me, and honor My Blessed
 Mother for all of the heavenly messages to guide mankind and warn you of
 the coming events.”
         Mary said: “My dear children, in the vision there is a parallel that
 my Son, Jesus, was crucified outside of town by the town dump.  In
 Lourdes, France I appeared to St. Bernadette outside of town in a grotto
 near the town dump as well.  The innocence of children is how my Son and I
 want you to be like in your spiritual life.  St. Bernadette was very
 faithful to me in coming to the grotto for the days that I asked her to
 come.  She was blessed to be a nun in the convent and she suffered much
 in this life.  But her testimony of my messages even to her dying day
 was steadfast as she believed in these apparitions with every fiber of
 her being.  This 150th Anniversary celebration of these apparitions are
 a reminder to review the messages given, which all of you could
 benefit from.  The miraculous waters of Lourdes that have healed many
 illnesses and bones are a sign of my Son’s power as he also healed many while
 He was on the earth.  Give praise and thanks to God for all of these
 healings, and honor me and St. Bernadette on this feast day of Lourdes.
  I love all of my children and many love St. Bernadette in taking her
 for their namesake.”
 
Tuesday, February 12, 2008:
         Jesus said: “My people, people are social beings and you need to help
 each other to survive in this world.  This message is about being open
 to share with each other both in your physical and spiritual needs.
  How can you sit back with your wealth and possessions while your neighbor
 is poor and starving?  You are called to help your neighbor in their
 needs.  In the same way you cannot hide your knowledge of the faith
 under a bushel basket, but you must be open and share your faith with
 others in conversions.  In a different way I want you to be open with Me as
 well in the way that you pray.  Some only come to Me as a last resort
 when you cannot handle something on your own.  Instead of coming to Me
 only out of desperation, you should ask Me to help you in everything
 every day.  You should give Me praise, adoration, seek My forgiveness, and
 give thanks in addition to your prayers of petition.  As the priest
 mentioned in his homily, you can even be open to Me by being silent so
 you can give Me time to speak to your heart.  This contemplative prayer
 allows Me to have a working relationship with you, so I can direct you
 on your mission to follow My ways instead of your ways.  So instead of
 keeping to yourself, and depending only on your means, you need to be
 open with Me and your neighbor so you can receive help from Me and those
 around you.  Sharing yourself with Me and others will give you a joy
 and a rest that your soul is seeking.”
         Jesus said: “My people, to some people today it is strange to you that
 these earlier civilizations worshiped statues and strange gods instead
 of worshiping the One true God.  Man in his wickedness and pride
 worships different idols today as in fame, success, money, education, and
 possessions.  Even your scientific accomplishments are worshiped more
 than My creation of the world.  Now some are being taken in by New Age
 principles that worship crystals, the sun, the earth, and things of the
 earth.  There is nothing new about this pagan worship that past
 civilizations also worshiped.  There can be only One God in Me that you should
 worship and nothing else.  I am all loving and merciful, and I provide
 for all of your needs in My gifts.  You cannot find love in inanimate
 things.  These things that are worshiped will not provide for you or love
 you.  A greater Being has created all that you see before you.  It is
 your calling from Me therefore to worship the Creator instead of the
 created things.  Do not listen to the devil who calls you gods and gets
 you to look only at physical things.  You are spirit and body, and the
 soul is in search of its Creator.  You will not find rest for your soul
 in any place else than in Me.  Come to Me all who are burdened with the
 things of life, and I will give you My rest so your soul will be at
 peace.  Give up all of your worthless idols and follow the only One true
 God who is the only One worthy of your worship.  I have saved you by
 dying on the cross.  You can only come to heaven by repenting of your
 sins, and accepting Me as your Savior and Lord of your life.”
 
Wednesday, February 13, 2008:
         Jesus said: “My people, many times I have told you that the only sign,
 that I will give, is the sign of Jonah.  Jonah was reluctant to tell
 the people of Nineveh about its coming destruction because he was
 fearful that they would kill the prophet of doom.  After his experience in
 the sea, he finally carried out My call.  Jonah said: (Jonah 3:4) “Forty
 days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed.”  At this the people were
 shaken and they repented, and put on sackcloth and ashes, and I relented
 from destroying that city.  Now, America, I proclaim to you the same
 warning.  If you do not repent and change your lifestyles of sin, you also
 will meet with destruction from natural disasters, terrorism, and
 riots in chaos.  Nineveh repented and was spared, and if America repents, I
 will spare you  from this destruction as well.  You saw the
 destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the destruction of Jerusalem.  So you know
 that I will carry this out if you do not repent.  I told you that this
 will be like a year as no other, so it is up to your people to heed My
 warnings, or you will be facing worse destruction than you have ever
 seen before.  I did not give a long time to change, and you have been
 warned to wake up for many years.  Now My justice must fall on your
 country, America, for you have not answered My plea in the right way in your
 actions.  Prepare for your destruction and prepare your souls with
 repentance in Confession.  I will provide protection for My faithful at My
 refuges, but the rest will suffer much at the hands of the evil ones.”
 
Wednesday, February 13, 2008:
         Jesus said: “My people, those, who live in the Western Industrial
 countries, have all the food and comforts that they need for daily living.
  Those, who live in the poor African and Asian countries, have to
 struggle for everything just to have the bare necessities to survive.  The
 more wealth and comforts that you have, the more you are tempted to
 depend only on yourselves.  The poor are always trusting in God to provide
 for their daily bread.  This is why during Lent, you need to suffer a
 little want in your fasting so you can gain some spiritual treasure.
  You also may be compelled to share some of your wealth with these poor
 so they can have enough to eat.  Give praise and thanks to your Lord for
 all the gifts that I have given to you.  By giving thanks and sharing
 your gifts with others, you will truly store up treasure in heaven.”
 
Thursday, February 14, 2008: (St. Cyril & St. Methodius)
         Jesus said: “My people, the Gospel reading of today is all about how
 you are dependent on Me whether you want to believe it or not.  For
 those, who have deep faith and trust in My Word, you know that I will never
 test you beyond your endurance.  You can also ask Me for help and I
 will be at your side to provide for your needs.  When you are seeking
 discernment or knowledge, you will find it by My help and inspiration.
  Better to call on Me in prayer in your difficulties than to be frustrated
 by your own ways that may not solve your problems.  Forget your pride
 to do things on your own, and solicit My help and that of your
 neighbor.  After you see how much prayer succeeds in your life, you will truly
 learn how dependent you are on Me for everything.  When you put your
 blind trust in Me, it is another way of showing your love for Me, and
 believing in My Words of the Gospel.”
Prayer Group:
     Michelle said:  “Thank you for bringing my picture tonight and for
 being godparents for Anthony, my son.  My soul is still roaming the
 earth so I can console my family with my loss.  I love them very much.  I
 have met Jesus and Mary, and they are very pleased with my service.  I
 assume the Lord took my life with little pain so I would not have to
 suffer a long time.  We enjoyed and were happy to assist you in your
 mission.  I will be praying for all of you that work in the vineyards for
 Jesus.”
         Jesus said: “My people, there are many suffering with paralysis in
 their legs or arms, or other ailments that confine people to wheelchairs.
  I want you to pray for them to have the grace to endure their
 physical trials.  It is also a hardship for the care givers to constantly take
 care of any handicapped or disabled persons.  Your heart goes out to
 all that they are suffering.  Even during Lent be aware of any
 opportunities to help people either with food or transportation.  Many souls are
 suffering servants for the sinners of the world.  They should be
 thanked for atoning for the sins of the world.”
         Jesus said: “My people, there are some hard cases of homeless people,
 who by pride and not knowing how to get help, are left to wander in the
 streets, even in the cold of winter.  Some find shelters or soup
 kitchens to survive, but they also need your donations of food to keep
 going.  Let your love in your heart go out to help these unfortunate souls.
  Reach out to contribute your time and money to your local food
 shelves who support the hungry and the thirsty.”
         Jesus said: “My people, when you get old and it is hard for you to
 live alone, many need help with their necessities in nursing homes and
 assisted living places.  It is not easy for them to leave their homes, but
 they may have memory problems or cannot move around very well on their
 own.  They can get lonely if their family and friends forget about
 them.  Make an extra effort to visit the sick and the elderly to cheer
 them up and make them feel loved and wanted.  These spiritual works of
 mercy will store up heavenly treasure for you to offset your sins.”
         Jesus said: “My people, you may know of some people who unfortunately
 have found themselves in prison for stealing or other such minor
 crimes.  You can be a great witness of faith if you work with the jail
 ministry to try and convert these offenders.  They need to have some hope
 after their sentence is over.  Help them in prayer and even adjusting back
 into society.  These souls are hungering for somebody to visit them
 and encourage them in their dark hour.”
         Jesus said: “My people, there are many kinds of people with various
 addictions to food, drink, drugs, gambling, computers, and pornography.
  Each of these addictions has a demon associated with them to try and
 bring a soul to fall under their control.  My faithful need to help these
 addicts with prayer, removing them from the source of their addiction,
 and helping them to get professional assistance to deal with their
 addictions.  Pray prayers of deliverance and exorcism to bind these evil
 spirits to the foot of My cross, never to return again.  Help them in
 their struggles, or they will bring more grief to themselves and their
 families.”
         Jesus said: “My people, when you come to Me at your death at your
 judgment, it will go well for those who have their hands full of good deeds
 and spiritual acts of mercy.  I have given you some suggestions in the
 earlier messages for ways in which you could help people in their
 need, and help you in storing up heavenly treasure for your caring and
 kindness.  Lent is a time to be thinking more of helping your neighbor out
 of love for Me in them.  I have told you if you have done a good deed
 for one of My little ones, then you have done it to Me in them as well.
  Helping hands are a good way to show that you love and care about
 your neighbor.  I will not forget your good deeds, and you will receive My
 reward for your efforts.”
 
Friday, February 15, 2008:
         Jesus said: “My people, today’s Gospel reading about anger and
 reconciling with your neighbor is a very important theme.  I am asking you to
 quote this passage so people do not forget it.  (Matt. 5:23, 24)
 ‘Therefore, if thou are offering thy gift at the altar, and there remember
 that thy brother has anything against thee, leave thy gift before the
 altar, and go first to be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and
 offer thy gift.’  This means do not keep any grudges against anyone, and
 do not seek revenge in anger.  Make peace with your neighbor so these
 things do not control you, or disturb your spiritual peace.  This also
 means that you should consider going to Confession to ask My forgiveness
 of your sins before you come to receive Me at the altar in Holy
 Communion.  It is best to receive Me with a pure soul, and especially without
 any mortal sin so you do not commit a sin of sacrilege against My
 Blessed Sacrament.  It is hard to restrain your anger when you feel that you
 are being violated unjustly, but you must be forgiving even when you
 are in the right.  When the other person sees your kindness, they will
 be confounded in their evil deeds.  Ask Me to forgive them as well.”
         Jesus said: “My people, this cloud over these barrels of crude oil is
 a sign that there are going to be major problems in the oil producing
 countries of the world.  There already is a growing demand for oil
 because of America and China to fuel your factories and comfortable
 lifestyles.  Any disruption in the supply of oil because of wars and uprisings
 against the oil companies, and there would be a major shortage and
 higher gas prices.  These clouds in the vision over oil are exactly what
 will happen.  You already are seeing conflicts with Chavez, and destroyed
 pipelines in Nigeria and Iraq.  Oil alternatives are very few and hard
 to supply in the volumes that are needed.  Wars have been fought over
 fuel supplies, and this could very well spread into other countries.
  Pray for peace in the world and that all countries may have enough fuel
 to sustain themselves without a few countries taking too much from the
 rest of the world.”
 
Saturday, February 16, 2008:
         Jesus said: “My people, I want to teach you about the things on a
 heavenly plane and those things on an earthly plane.  It is your soul being
 a spirit that seeks and is only satisfied with the things on a
 heavenly plane.  While your body, being earthly, seeks only those things on an
 earthly plane.  Many times you have a desire for new homes, new cars,
 or new electronic devices.  These are all earthly things and they will
 never satisfy your soul.  There are necessary things that you need for
 survival, but you may be tested to desire something that you cannot
 afford.  Be satisfied with what is within your grasp, but do not worship
 these things or see them as status symbols driven by your pride.  It is
 not a sin to own things, but continual desire for the latest things may
 begin to control you.  You are here to know, love, and serve Me, so
 spiritual goals are most important for you to seek.   Remember that
 things will only please you for a time before they become old or obsolete.
  They will never satisfy you as I satisfy your soul.”
         Jesus said: “My people, there are more people in different countries
 trying to help in reducing the air pollution by the consumption of less
 fuel.  This can start with car pooling and making more fuel efficient
 cars.  Others are working on wind, solar, and hydrogen fuel cells.
  While this is a start for alternative power sources, there needs to be some
 major breakthroughs so you can cut back oil related fuels.  The high
 price of oil and gasoline has strained many budgets in getting to work,
 but it has cut back some pleasure and vacation driving.  To make any
 dramatic effects on the level of your fossil burning fuels, it will mean
 some hard choices for your international economies and business
 manufacturing, as well as a change in your driving habits.  If something does
 not change your current trends, major effects could bring My balance of
 nature into an imbalance.  Your earth is a finite space for all of you
 to live, and you need to preserve your environment the best way that
 you can.  Pray for all the peoples of the world to see the need to work
 together on this situation affecting all of your lives.”
 
Sunday, February 17, 2008:
         Jesus said: “My son, it is good for you to be here feeling the beauty
 of My Transfiguration, as in the Gospel reading of today.  This
 beautiful spiritual feeling is like the little taste of heaven that you
 experience at daily Mass in receiving Me in Holy Communion.  You are seeing
 Me transfigured into My Body and My Blood from bread and wine at the
 Consecration time of the Mass.  This was a sign to My apostles of My
 glorified Body that I would return in at My Resurrection after My death.  It
 is also a preview for all of My faithful that you will come back in
 your glorified body after the final judgment.  This is your goal to be
 with Me one day in heaven in your glorified body forever and ever.  Being
 with Me in heaven is greater than all of your most desired experiences
 that you could ever have on earth.  Give praise and thanks to your
 Lord that I died for your sins so you can come to heaven.” 
         
Monday, February 18, 2008: 
         Jesus said: “My people, many people are asked to get flu shots every
 year so they will be protected from the latest flu germs that mutate
 every year.  It is difficult to predict which of the latest strains that
 will be prevalent in order to make vaccines for it.  I have told you in
 the past that the one world people will be manufacturing a pandemic
 disease in order to give them an emergency to declare martial law.  One of
 their techniques to spread this disease will be to place viruses in
 these annual flu shots to make people more susceptible in acquiring a new
 disease.  They will then disperse this new disease or a more virulent
 old disease by means of the chem trails in the sky which they have used
 for a long time to spread flu-like symptoms.  This is why it is good
 now to build up your immune system with Hawthorn pills or tea, vitamins,
 and herbs.  Once My people come to My refuges, you will be healed of
 all diseases by drinking the healing spring water, or looking on the
 luminous cross in the sky.  I will protect you from all that the evil ones
 are planning, so trust in My help every day.”
         Jesus said: “My people, I have shown you earthquakes, tornadoes, and
 hurricanes striking America because of its sins.  Now you are seeing a
 major city on your East coast being struck by a tsunami or wall of
 water.  I am telling you that you will be greatly tested this year with
 terrible natural disasters that you have never seen before.  Tsunamis
 strike with little warning and they travel wide and fast.  You would do well
 to look into the sources of possible tsunamis that could strike your
 East coast.  Just as you have tsunami warning systems in the Pacific
 Ocean, you should also have one for the Atlantic Ocean as well.  In other
 messages I have warned you not to live close to the oceans or large
 rivers where these large water disasters could occur.  America needs to
 repent soon from your sins and lifestyles, or you  will have to face My
 justice.”
 
Tuesday, February 19, 2008:
         Jesus said: “My people, this vision of a blanket with the sun shining
 through it represents My Mystical Body as you are all joined in
 Communion with Me, the Church, the saints, and even the souls in purgatory who
 are saved.  This ‘Mystical Body of Christ’ should be better understood
 by the faithful.  It is to include all baptized believers in My
 teachings.”
         Requested research by Jesus:
         St. Robert Bellarmine teaches: ‘The Mystical Body of Christ is
 composed of three ‘churches’ - The Church Militant (Catholic Church), the
 Church Suffering (purgatory), and the Church Triumphant (saints).
         Pope Pius XII in 1943 said: ‘Only those are really to be included as
 members of the Church who have been baptized and profess the true faith
 and have not unhappily withdrawn from body-unity, or for grave faults
 been excluded by legitimate authority. For in one Spirit were we all
 baptized into one Body.” (Mystici Corporis, p. 12)
         Jesus said: “My people, you may be familiar with the reading of dry
 bones in the desert. (Ezechiel 37:1-14) I talked to Ezechiel about all of
 these bones before him and I asked him to prophesy over them.  Then My
 Spirit came into these bones and they were raised up with sinew and
 flesh into a new army of Israel.  This is a fore shadowing of how the Son
 of Man will be resurrected into a glorified Body.  At the last day all
 of My faithful will also be resurrected into a new body that will be
 rejoined with your soul.  As you go forward during Lent, you will see
 how Good Friday leads up to My Resurrection on the first Easter
 celebration.  Even as you read of My Transfiguration last Sunday, that was
 another prefigurement of My coming Resurrection when I rose three days later
 after My death.  All of Lent is a reminder to you that you are
 suffering with Me on your Good Friday while you are on this earth.  You too
 will be waiting and will be purified for your own Easter resurrection.
  Give praise and thanks to your Lord for dying for your sins so you may
 one day be with Me forever in heaven.”
 
Wednesday, February 20, 2008: 
         Jesus said: “My people, the vision of this valuable pearl represents
 one of the examples that I gave in the Scripture in describing the
 Kingdom of Heaven.  (Matt. 13:45,46) ‘Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a
 merchant in search of fine pearls.  When he finds a single pearl of
 great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.’  Your
 eternal life is so important that you should be willing to consecrate
 everything over to Me so you will be accepting My gift of salvation.  But do
 not be demanding of a special place in heaven as the apostles St. John
 and St. James wanted to be on My left and on My right.  My heavenly
 Father has prepared a place for every faithful soul, and you will receive
 it in due time where He wants you to be.  Give praise and thanks to God
 for saving you and giving you the opportunity to come to heaven.  In
 the Old Testament the jealous and plotting people of Jeremiah’s day did
 not want to hear the hard words of destruction for a sinful Israel.  So
 they eventually killed him, even though his prophecies came true.  So I
 warn all of My prophets and messengers of this age that you be
 prepared for persecution and possible martyrdom as well.  It is not easy to
 prophesy destruction if the people do not repent of their sins.  These
 things will also come to pass, even if your people kill the prophets of
 today.” 
         Jesus said: “My people, when you die, most earthly things of yours are
 dispersed, and you are soon forgotten.  When you think of all the
 things in life that you dreamed of owning, they all amount to nothing at
 your judgment.  It is not too often that you sit down to think of all the
 things that you want to accomplish before you die.  Many times you do
 not have the time nor the means to accomplish all of your dreams.  In
 the end it is family and your love for Me that should be most important
 in your life.  To see your children married off and some of your
 grandchildren, that can mean more than your own physical successes.  Saving
 your soul with My help, and evangelizing other souls to be saved,
 especially your own family, can mean even more to your spiritual life that
 lives on beyond the grave.  You will meet your deceased family members
 when you die, and there will be a great reunion in heaven.  Most of all
 you will be eternally happy to be with Me, My saints, and My angels in
 all of heaven’s beauty that awaits you.  When you come to Me at death,
 you will be coming to your final home and resting place with your
 Savior.”
 
Thursday, February 21, 2008: (St. Peter Damian)
         Jesus said: “My people, today’s Gospel on hell or the netherworld is  an important reminder to everyone, even the worst of sinners. (Luke  16:19-31) There is a stark contrast between the rich man who had all of his  earthly comforts, and the beggar, Lazarus, who had the dogs licking
 his sores.  After his death the rich man is tormented by flames even  though he is in spirit only.  He will not even be comforted with any cool  water, and he will remain there forever without ever seeing Me.  The  rich man tries to warn his five brothers not to come to this place of  torture.  But Abraham tells him that they have Moses and the prophets to
 follow and if they do not heed them, they will not heed even one that  rises from the dead.  
 
This refers to My rising from the dead in My  Resurrection.  Some souls are so persuaded by the devil and the concerns of  the world that they do not listen to My Word and find themselves in hell  just as this rich man.  There are some who so love their sins of  addiction that even after the Warning, they will refuse to love and serve Me. 
  This is why the devil and his angels were punished in hell for  denying to love Me nor serve Me.  Your choice for being in heaven or hell is  based on your life decision whether you want to serve Me or yourself in the world.  Therefore, choose life in heaven by following My laws and repenting of your sins, or you will choose death in hell.”
 
Prayer Group:
     Jesus said: “My people, I am showing you someone in constant pain that could be called a suffering servant or a victim soul.  These are the people that offer up their pain to Me to be united with My suffering on the cross.  There are a lot of suffering people in the world, and I pray that more could think to offer up their pain to Me so their pain
 is not wasted.  There is redemptive merit in offered up pain, and I can use this offering to make atonement for the sins of the world.
  Prayer, suffering, and fasting are your Lenten callings for this worldly sin as well.  Those, who are being converted in their souls, could be giving thanks to God that suffering souls are paying the price for the converted souls.”
         Jesus said: “My people, there are some souls that have been faithful to Me for many years.  This faithful remnant has been a shining example to lead others to conversion to the faith.  The young generation has to
 look up to their elders for spiritual inspiration.  This is why My faithful need to be constant examples of faith, hope, and charity for your children and grandchildren to follow.  Let them see you constantly at church and in prayer so they see that you practice what you preach.
  Pray for all of your family members that they may remain faithful to Me because of your prayers for them.”
         Jesus said: “My people, in a way this broken stained glass window represents the brokenness in My Church.  You have see the scandals in My Church with some priests that have had encounters with young boys or older women.  
 
Many churches had to be sold to pay for legal suits against
My Church.  In some areas Catholic schools are being closed for lack of funds and low enrollment.  Even though you are suffering such trials, do not let these things weaken your faith.  You all need to be My prayer warriors so you can strengthen the lukewarm and keep them from falling
 away from their faith.  Broken windows can be repaired as well as any brokenness in My Church.”
         Jesus said:  “My people, many of your fertility rates in the industrial countries are dropping because of your abortions and death rates among young children.  America would be losing population if it were not from your large immigration numbers.  People are thinking it is too
 difficult to raise children, so there are less being born.  It is in the third world countries that more are born without worries about money and perfect education.  Those, who trust in Me to help raise their children, are more confident in having more children than those depending on themselves only.”
         Jesus said: “My people, at times it is good to look back at your old roots of how your parents raised you, and how you raised your own children and grandchildren.  You sometimes feel like an in between generation because you are still providing for your parents’ health, and you may
 be housing or supporting your children and your grandchildren.  Even though you may feel stressed in this care, you should feel honored and grateful that you have the money and health to help all of your family members.  Continue your good works because you are all storing much
treasure in heaven for your loving care.”
         Jesus said: “My people, when you look up this staircase, you think it is impossible to climb all the way up to heaven as a saint.  You need to look at each day as one step at a time because each day has enough troubles of its own.  Each day try your best to serve Me and your neighbor out of love, and do not worry if you are doing everything perfectly.
  You will make mistakes along the way, but take courage because I am with you to forgive you so you can pick yourself up and carry on in My service.  Keep focused on Me and please Me in following My laws and continue your daily prayer efforts.”
         Jesus said: “My people, My mercy will be poured out on every soul at the time of the Warning.  Even the worst of sinners will be given an opportunity to change their way of sin and be converted.  After the Warning you will be more responsible for your actions because you will know
 more how your sins offend Me.  The event of the Warning will signal the beginning of the Antichrist coming into power.  
 
There will be weeks to prepare conversions, but then evil will have its hour and you will be called to safety at My refuges.  Do not be afraid or be hesitant to leave everything behind, because My angels will protect you on your way to
My refuges, where all of your necessities will be provided for you.
  Trust in Me always to provide for your spiritual and physical needs.”
 
Friday, February 22, 2008: (Chair of St. Peter)
         Jesus said: “My people, your trips to Betania have already focused  around My Blessed Mother’s feast days.  You are asking what would be an  appropriate time to come to Betania this year.  It would be in keeping  with your previous trips that a good time would be around one of My
Blessed Mother’s feast days. 
 
If you could ascertain a specific time when  Juliet was given notice that she would be called ‘Betania IV’, you may
want to make a trip in honor of this anniversary.  Your desire is to have a convenient time for your pilgrims and the Bianchini Family.  Any time that you choose to visit My Blessed Mother’s shrine in Betania is always acceptable to us. 
 
The real desire is for a spiritual renewal in all of the pilgrims who wish to come to Betania. They can build on their faith life by inviting us more into their daily lives.  Every time
that you make a pilgrimage to My Blessed Mother’s shrines, you gain a grace and a protection from My Blessed Mother’s mantle.  Those, who have visited Betania, can testify how each time that they come, they take home a joy in their hearts that has to be experienced there.  All of the
called Betania centers need to be united with My Blessed Mother, Me, and Maria Esperanza in sharing  your common purpose of prayer for the world, and reconciliation with each other in making peace all over the world.”
         Jesus said: “My people, today’s feast commemorates the starting of My Church when I declared to St. Peter (Matt. 16:13-19) ‘You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of heaven.’  This should be a comfort to all of My faithful for My faithful
 remnant  will remain protected even through the coming tribulation.  
 
There will be persecution and some will be martyred for not giving up their faith.  Continue to pray for Pope Benedict XVI so he can continue to lead My Church through the succession of popes from St. Peter. Regarding the vision of My Blessed Mother kneeling on this land, the significance is connected with the Seventh Anniversary  of this Gospa House.  My Blessed Mother is affirming her protection of these grounds which continues to be a place of refuge and protection in the coming trial.  
 
Pray for unity in the hearts of those working on this ministry.  Wherever there is a good work going on to save souls, you know the devil will try to plant his seeds of division in that place.  This means that you need
to invoke St. Michael to exorcize any demons of dissension, and strengthen the purpose and faith of the people in this ministry.  
 
Keep your focus on the love of our Two Hearts, and your work will yield the fruit of My mission.”
 
Saturday, February 23, 2008: (St. Polycarp)
         Jesus said: “My people, this is a glorious celebration of the Mass and the blessing of this new ‘Betania IV’ Shrine.  You are seeing in this vision how My Blessed Mother and I are both blessing this shrine. 
  Today’s Gospel of the Prodigal Son and his father is a parable representing the mercy of My loving forgiveness for all sinners.  Whether you are a grievous sinner as the young brother who sinned with prostitutes, or a prideful and jealous sinner as the older brother, you are all sinners
 and My mercy is showered on all of you. My love goes out to all of you in every trial and difficulty that you are facing.  
 
Sin has made many hearts and souls cold to receive Me in love.  This is why I pour out My Most Precious Blood on all souls, especially those that you are praying for conversion.  By praying for poor sinners, especially the lukewarm in your family, you will help bring My love to these souls so they can
be predisposed to loving Me.  
 
The angels around My Real Presence at The Mass show you  how much you should give Me praise and glory for My
 gift of My Eucharist.  As you see the father of the prodigal son forgive both brothers, so I want you to come to Me for forgiveness in Confession.  Your soul needs to be free of mortal sin by Confession so you can worthily receive Me in My Blessed Sacrament.  
 
You commit a sin of sacrilege if you receive Me in serious sin.  Go and make recompense with those that you have offended and then bring your gift to My altar.  Love
one another and confess your sins often so your soul is always ready to meet Me at your judgment.” 
 
Sunday, February 24, 2008: 
         Jesus said: “My people, this Gospel of the woman at the well is a very touching story of My love for everyone.  I have talked about My Living Water in many messages, and this refers to today’s reading.  Your bodies desire water and food of this world, but it will never be satisfied except for a short time.  Your soul thirsts for spiritual food and drink in order to have eternal life.  I feed your soul with My own Body and Blood under the appearances of bread and wine.  
 
When you partake of My spiritual food, your soul will be completely satisfied in My sacramental Real Presence.  Holy Communion is a small taste of heaven that you can experience on earth.  I send you My graces and blessings every time that you receive Me in My sacramental presence.  
 
You have this glorious opportunity of being with Me at every Mass, which is why many attend daily Mass.  Other faithful make special visits to adore Me in Adoration of My Real Presence in My Host.  You have witnessed many miracles of
My Eucharist that were signs to those that did not believe in My Real Presence.  I have given you this gift of Myself to each of you when I instituted My Eucharist at the Last Supper.  
 
I suffered and died for you on My cross, and it is My Most Precious Blood that has paid the price for each of your souls.  I am the Lamb of God offered up as a sin offering for all of mankind.  
 
This ‘Sacrifice of the Mass’ is a re-enactment
of My suffering on Good Friday.  All of you are also appointed to die once before you can come to heaven.  You must also suffer with Me in carrying your daily cross.  Give reverence to My Blessed Sacrament by bowing or kneeling to receive Me without mortal sin on your souls. 
 
I am Lord and God over your lives and I ask you to follow My Will and give everything over to Me as your Savior to serve Me in your mission.  Love Me and your neighbor so that all that you do is out of love for Me.  Give Me thanks for all the gifts that I have given you, and hold My peace in
 your heart without letting anything earthly control you, or disturb your peace.”
         Jesus said: “My people, I want to lead My faithful on a path to increased holiness. It is only by becoming holy that you can strive to get closer to your goal of sainthood.  The gate in this vision represents a fence that encloses your comfort zone that you feel save to work in.
  Opening this gate means in order to grow in your faith that you must be  willing to take risks in your trust of Me by going out of your comfort  zone.  
 
Call on Me first to discern if your plans are in keeping with  what I want you to do.  I call on you to share your faith with others in evangelizing souls.  When you are following My lead out into the world, you will meet with these tall white walls that seem impossible to go through.  
 
These walls are the restrictions of your society as a resistance to stopping abortion.  Do not let people hold you back with threats, because you need to protest abortions in any way that you could.
  Only with My help and that of My Blessed Mother can I help you break through these barriers.  Another wall is a resistance to stopping wars.  I want peace all over the world.  You cannot say that it is good to continue killing one another.  
 
So strive even publicly to be a peacemaker in
voting against wars.  Another wall is a resistance to stopping
pornography and prostitution.  You know there are many evils caused by literature and pictures on the internet.  You need to fight such evil shops and places of prostitution in your neighborhood.  Pray also for people to break down their personal barriers of addictions that people fall
victim to.  
 
When you strike out in trust of My power to fight these evils in the world, you will meet with much resistance from man and the demons. So ask My help to reach out to purify your soul and the souls around you. By working in My vineyard, you will gain a great reward in heaven.”
 
Monday, February 25, 2008: 
         Jesus said: “My people, you are very comfortable in your homes today, but in the coming days of tribulation, My faithful will need My protection at My refuges from the evil ones who will try to kill you for your faith.  Many will be in confusion in these changing events and the leaders of My faithful will be giving advice and direction how to invoke My
protection at the appointed time.  
 
When you see world famine, a division in My Church, mandatory chips in the body, and martial law, know that it is time to prepare to come to My refuges.  
 
 
 
My refuges will be at My Blessed Mother’s places of apparition, places of holy ground, and even caves.  At that time I want you to call on My Name and I will have
your guardian angels lead you with a physical sign to the nearest place of refuge.  
 
You will first be led to interim places of refuge where My faithful will have a temporary place of hiding and any food will be multiplied for those who come.  Even at these interim places, which this place is one, I will send My angels to protect you and you will be invisible to your enemies.  
 
Rejoice in My merciful protection, even though
some will be martyred.  After a while, you will be led further to your final places of refuge.  You will remain at My refuges until I come to vanquish the Antichrist and all of the evil ones into hell.  Be  patient and trust in My protection and how I will provide for your needs.”
         Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing in the vision a beautiful manifestation of white light emanating from this cross being carried in procession.  This sign is all about the Triumph of My Cross over death, sin, and the devil. 
 
I have told you before that this place is a refuge and that this Luminous Cross is the same sign that you will find over
every refuge, only it will remain in the sky until the end of the coming tribulation.  You will see at the time of tribulation that My cross will triumph again over all the evil ones until I return in glory.  
 
My cross will also be a triumph over all of your diseases as you look upon it and are healed.  This sign of My cross is not a sign of weakness, but it is My offering of My sacrifice for all of mankind.  Truly My cross is a triumph over any of the devil’s powers or any evil.  
 
Even after your death, My cross of sacrifice will bring about your resurrection at the final judgment, and you will share in My final Triumph.”
 
Wednesday, February 27, 2008:        
         Jesus said: “My people, many laws and  Commandments were given to Moses, and the Jewish people recorded them in the first five books of the Bible.  The core of these laws rest on the love of God and neighbor as
 thyself.  Before I came on the earth, these laws were somewhat burdensome in the way that they were interpreted and carried out.  
 
I came not to change the law, but to fulfill the law.  The love in My commands was not fully expressed, and I added another dimension to loving your neighbor as always forgiving him and going even the extra mile of loving
 everyone, even your enemies.  
 
My law of love, as I spared the adulterous woman of stoning, is much more compassionate and not as severely punishing as human judgment.  The more gifts that I give you in knowledge of the faith, the more you will be held accountable for.  I did not take away from the law, but I did embellish it with My love and mercy. 
 
You would much rather be judged by a merciful and loving God than be judged by man’s laws and traditions.  Treat everyone as you would want them to treat you, but do not take revenge or hold grudges for any offenses. 
  Love one another as I love you, and that will be enough for you on your way to perfection.”

St. Gabriel Possenti, Patron of Clerics & Youth (Italy) 1838-1862
"There is more sweetness in one hour of prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament than in all the world's crowded theaters, and brilliant drawing rooms, and giddy diversions, and social gatherings" (St. Gabriel Possenti).


 

 

"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)

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."

Spe Salve - Pope Benedict XVI Encyclical on Hope - Release 5

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 existence the
existence of each person and everyone together and 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 5:

Pope Benedict XVI Monthly Prayer Intentions - March 2008

Join in praying daily for the March 2008 monthly intentions of our Holy Father:

FORGIVENESS: That all may understand the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation between individuals and peoples and that the Church may spread Christ's Love.

THE PERSECUTED: That Christians who are persecuted because of the Gospel may be sustained by the Holy Spirit and continue to bear witness to the Word of God.

DAILY OFFERING PRAYER - O Jesus, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, and the reunion of all Christions. I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended
by our Holy Father this month.
