Message to J.N.S.R. Feb.15,2008

The Forgiveness of God  -  Judas


February 15, 2008
 
JNSR:  "My God, why have You abandoned me?  In all my turmoil, I cried to You, sick, my aching body, bruised from head to toe, alone, always alone, day as well as night."
 
            As I was thus complaining to JESUS, the image of JESUS appeared before me, flogged, tied with ropes, dragged, streaming with blood, in front of this angry crowd that was there to judge Him.  The Lord said to me:
 
                           "See, how I am still treated!"  Then I see many dark prisons.  Men crouching, naked, in a deplorable state,  the smell is of sweat and blood.  JESUS says to me:
 
JESUS:  In these times of desolation, the children of God are still persecuted, hidden where no one can see how far their executioners go, without faith nor law.  Your brothers are dying, suffering martyrdom, and the tyrants are safe behind the absolute Power of those countries with totalitarian governments.
 
            Yes, and you still hear Me tell you  to forgive your enemies.  And you hear Me say again to My Father:  "Forgive them for they know not what they do".  Then you cry out loudly:  "That is impossible!  For these murderers, there can be no pardon".  And God must continue to free from your hands,  the hands ready to become  murderous,  the  guilty one  who escapes for your own good:  "Thou shall not kill".  
 
            I will tell you about Judas.  Frightened of being martyred, by his lack of courage, so as not to arrive to the supreme sacrifice for his God, as all the Apostles accepted it (except My John, who was called to serve My Holy Mother to his last breath on this Earth),  Judas sensed the destiny that would eventually be that of the servants as well as that of the Master. 

 

Through this  fear,  that went beyond his Love for God, and especially to make up for his humiliation, coming from the great deception of his pride, as he hoped to see the Master become the head of this great country, Judas became  the Traitor,  judging that he was betrayed by the One for whom he entertained such a great love and ideal, He who commanded  death itself.  And there he was, at the point of being unable to do anything for him, even when he, Judas, held Him so high.........
                 
 
            Behold, he decided to let his idol be led to death.
 
            He took part in  the execution, not for the money but rather out of deception.  Judas   was deceived  and it was JESUS who for him, became  the unfaithful,  the One who betrayed the Love that Judas had for Him.  In his bitterness, he was reversing the roles:  he was the innocent  and JESUS  was the guilty one  who had deceived him so profoundly.
 
            I have more to tell you.  Did I utter the final sentence against Judas?  Could you know what color was his soul at the time of his last breath?  Which of you, even today could measure My Holy Mercy?
 
Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.   (Luke 23: 34)
 
            For each of you, as for Judas, in order to ascend to My Cross, I stripped Myself of My Divinity, in My Suffering, as in My Death.   While the Mighty in My Country,  (My real enemies),


believed they had triumphed and could not acknowledge Me as the Son of God, Judas saw Me, as I was, abandoned by Heaven and Earth.  Endorsing the pains of  all  Humanity, with all the horrible sins of the World, past, present and to come.  

Vanquished by all the sovereigns of Israel and of Rome.  Judas then saw Me as  his brother  in suffering, and he cried his helplessness, seeing all the evil he had himself initiated without being able to remedy it.
 
            Judas also saw the Father  crying,  out of His helplessness before the Holy Redemption of the World that, to be accomplished, had to carry towards Death, in a Suffering of Love, the most cruel death there is,  the Redemptor,  His own Son.  In order to bring to death all the sins I had taken on Myself,  I had to die on My Cross.   
 
            Facing all this Evil, and still  in this Evil,  I had to feel all alone and forsaken.  Then I cried to the Father:  "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
 
            The Father could not annihilate the Resurrection, all His children had to profit by it.  Everything had to be accomplished, the Salvation of man was at that price.   The Father had to let His Son die,  God had to die and rise again.
 
No one is excluded from the Love of God.
 
            If the Pope forgave the man who tried to kill him, if that murderer was forgiven by My Vicar, John Paul II, how would the Master, the Source of Love and Intelligence, He who taught His Apostles that  He is the Way, the Life and the Truth,  how could I, your Lord JESUS Christ judge My comrade, My misguided brother?
 
            God IS Love.  The separation cannot come from God.  It is unilateral, for only man can sin and love all at the same time.
 
            God lets Himself be touched  by all your Masses for the World Repentance,  for all those who do not yet repent for their sins.  God will forgive you.  His forgiveness can be  general.  Insist on this!
 
The Absolution opens the door to God's Peace.

JESUS Christ.
 
† †  †
 
JNSR:  After this writing, JESUS said to Me:  " What about you?  Would you know how to forgive and endure everything for the Love of your God?"

Today's Message
March 24, 2008

“I am your Father who loves you”

Reading: Matthew 28:16-20

Dear friends,

“Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell the disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him.” Matthew 28:5-7

I spent Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday at St. Philip and St. James Church in Egmont Bay, P.E.I., except for Easter Vigil as I was at Mount Carmel Church a short distance from Egmont Bay. I stayed with a very nice family all the time I was there.
Today I will go to the Manor in Alberton to celebrate Holy Mass with the people who reside in this nursing home. When I get there I automatically look around to see my mother but of course she is gone.
Tomorrow I will have a visitor from New Brunswick. His name is David Little who is the President of the St. Thomas More Society of Canada, a non-profit organization to help save the unborn. He has been fighting tax-funded abortions for many years. He will give a talk at St. Simon & St. Jude Church in Tignish on Monday, March 31, after the 7:00 p.m. Holy Mass. Everyone is welcome.
I wish you all a joyful Octave of Easter.

I was with God the Father this morning during my time of contemplative prayer. The Father said, “Melvin, My son, I love you and bless you, together with all My sons and daughters throughout the world. You are now in the time of Easter, a time of great joy at the resurrection of My dear Son, Jesus. You relived His Passion and death on the cross on Friday as He gave up His life for your salvation.

Melvin, He called you to join Him on the cross for one hour on the day of His supreme sacrifice, as He wanted to share with you His pain. Every year Jesus helps you to renew what you suffered of His Passion during your thirty-day retreat in Jerusalem.

Now Jesus is risen from the dead with His glorified body. He will not suffer any more. He is with Me in heaven where He sits at My right hand. He is your Lord and Saviour as He works for the salvation of all the people of the world. All those who believe in Him and follow His teaching will be saved; however, those who reject Him and refuse to walk with Him will be condemned. Come, My dear sons and daughters, and believe in Jesus, My Son, and follow the Church He established on earth and you will one day be with Us in heaven. You, who believe in Him, have been empowered to spread His message to all those you meet.

Be a good example to all and cooperate with all the graces I give you. I want all the men and women of the earth to hear about their Saviour so they may make the decision for or against Him. I provide you with all the good things you need for I am your Father who loves you.”

Father Melvin

"I Am YOur Brother Who Loves You At Every Moment"

Reading: Mark 16:14-18

Dear friends,

"Jesus said to them in reply, 'Have you come out as against a robber,
with swords and clubs, to seize me? Day after day I was with you
teaching in the temple area, yet you did not arrest me; but that the
scriptures may be fulfilled." Mark 14:48-49

I went to the Manor yesterday afternoon to celebrate Holy Mass with
the residents there. A good number came to the chapel and received
Holy Communion. I stayed home in the evening and read the many e-mail
I received. I thank all those who have sent e-mail or a sympathy card
at the death of my mother.

I am still receiving many every day.
David Little from New Brunswick will give a talk at St. Simon and St.
Jude Church, Tignish, PEI, on March 31 after the 7:00 p.m. Mass. He
will share his experience concerning pro-life. He has been one of the
most active Catholics in Canada to save the unborn and to oppose
abortion. All are welcome to attend.

My time of prayer this morning was spent with Jesus, our Suffering
Lord. He said, "Melvin, My brother and sharer in My priesthood, I love
you and all My brothers and sisters living in all the countries of the
world. I call you all to sit with Me as I speak to you today.

We are in Holy Week, the week I offered My supreme sacrifice for your
salvation. When the soldiers with Judas came to arrest Me in the
Garden of Gethsemane, I knew that I would be badly treated because My
hour had come. This hour of suffering would be lived for you all until
the end of time. I also knew that My sacrifice would be an eternal
sacrifice. It would be present forever in this world.

It does not make
any difference where you live in the world; you are always very close
to Me. My supreme sacrifice on the cross has become the center of
history and all who believe in Me look back to this Good Friday. The
world started anew with My birth and this is shown by the fact that
this year is 2008. It has been about 2008 years since I was born in
the world. Remember there is only one Redeemer and I am the one.

Since My death and resurrection, there has been a battle raging in the
world. The battle is between those who believe in Me and accept Me as
their Saviour and those who reject Me and refuse to believe in Me. My
followers are weakened because of their divisions.

Pray that these
divisions may end soon so that My Church may bring the whole
population of the world to accept Me as their Redeemer. I desire the
salvation of all the people of the world. Work with Me, My brothers
and sisters, to accomplish this great miracle. I am your Brother who
loves you at every moment."

Father Melvin

"Come Home With Me"

Reading: Isaiah 52:13 - 53:12

Dear friends,

"The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the
chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be
raised." Luke 9:22

I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday at the little shrine of Our Lady of
Prince Edward Island and in the evening I went to St. Simon and St.
Jude Church, Tignish, to join with other priests to give the sacrament
of reconciliation or confession.

A large group came to prepare their
hearts for the Paschal Triduum beginning on Holy Thursday and ending
on Easter Sunday. Today at 9:30 a.m. I will celebrate Holy Mass at the
little shrine of Our Lady and this evening I will attend the prayer
meeting at our parish church.

As usual I was in contemplative prayer early this morning. Jesus, our
Suffering Saviour, said, "Melvin, My brother and companion, I love you
and I died for you and for all My brothers and sisters throughout the
world. I accepted to suffer and die at the hands of the Roman
soldiers, having been condemned by the Jewish authorities of My day to
die on the cross. My people had turned against Me as they could not
accept that I was the Messiah, the Son of God. In their rejection of
their Saviour, I was able to redeem them and all the people of the
world from all their sins.

Today many people think that there is no such thing as sin. They do
not see the offenses they commit against their Creator who provides
for all their needs. They have rejected the commandments given to
Moses on Mount Sinai by the Father of all of you.

If you are His son
or daughter, you will follow these commandments and you will live in
peace with Him. I came to convict the world of sin and to repair the
breach between the Father and you. Open your eyes and see the malice
of sin and how horrible sin is. It almost destroyed the world at the
beginning and it is bringing this world to ruin if you do not repent
and return to your Father.

I showed you how terrible sin is by My great suffering and death on
the cross. Sin is like a murderer stabbing God who loves him. By sin
you reject and insult your Father who gave you life and who created
the whole world for you.

Even in your sin, the Father pursues you and
gives you the grace you need to repent and come back to Him. Never
reject this gift offered to you out of love but respond quickly and
repent and He will take all your sins away and reinstate you as His
beloved son or daughter. Give joy to your Father today by being sorry
for your sins and telling Him that you love Him. My Passion continues
every day for your salvation. Come home with Me for I love you."

Father Melvin

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 24 - The vigil of the Annunciation

"In the sacrament of Eucharistic love He still abides in littleness to stay with us always" (St. Katharine Drexel).
 
"After partaking of the Living Bread, remember what our Lady must have felt when the Holy Spirit overpowered her, and she who was full of grace became full with the body of Christ" (Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta).
 

 
"As a child, Mary was presented to the Lord in the temple by her parents, Anne and Joachim. Mary gave herself completely to do the Father's will. By the power of the Holy Spirit, the womb of the Virgin Mary became the first tabernacle of adoration for Christ the King!" (From our November 2003 "Could you not watch one hour with Me?" newsletter.  The entire text may be viewed at the Newsletters section of our website at www.ACFP2000.com).
Pope John Paul II -

Cardinal Colasuono - Apostolic Nuncio, Italy - "Medjugorje represents the event of the century!" Medjugorje and the Church, Sr Emmanuel & Denis Nolan p 20

Mother Teresa -

The aim of taking a retreat is to advance in the knowledge and love of God, to purify ourselves, and to reform and transform our lives according to the life of our model, Jesus Christ.
It is not so much a looking back on the achievements and failures of the past, as a looking forward to a more generous imitation of our Lord Himself.
Meditations by Padre Pio -

Always love suffering, which, besides being the work of Divine Wisdom, reveals the work of His love to us even more (ASN, 43).
 
Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Without Faith it's all psychobabble!

"When religion is strong, it purges the unconscious mind of all those fears and anxieties, those worries and psychoses which psychoanalysis tries to expunge in the soul without faith."
St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -
 

Eighth Day

Today bring to Me the souls who are in the prison of Purgatory, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice.     (1226)

Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of the purifying fire, that in that place, too, the power of Your mercy may be praised.

     From that terrible heat of the cleansing fire
     Rises a plaint to Your mercy,
     And they receive comfort, refreshment, relief
     In the stream of mingled Blood and Water.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded: Manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion.       (1227)
 
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 24 - THE VIGIL OF THE ANNUNCIATION

On this vigil in 1985 Our Lady said:

"Today I invite all of you to confession, even if you have already gone a few days ago. I wish that you would live my feast in your hearts. You are not able to, if you do not abandon yourselves completely to the Lord, It is for this reason that I call you to reconciliation with the Lord". (First Years March 24, 1985).

This reconciliation to God is possible because of the redeeming sacrifice of Christ on Calvary:

For in (Christ) all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross. And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his fleshly body through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him… (Col 1:19-22).

Reflection:

On this vigil of the Annunciation, Our Lady says that, "I wish that you would live my feast in your hearts." This may sound puzzling until we reflect on the core message of the Annunciation, which is Mary's complete abandonment to God's will, signified by her unequivocal yes to all he asked of her. Thus the Blessed Mother wishes us to experience this same surrender to God in our own hearts, this same yes to God that consecrates us entirely to him. Thus her feast day, her yes, is experienced within us.

The fruit of this abandonment in our lives is a profound trust and confidence in the Lord, the same trust that Mary possessed. She longs to share it with us.

The one obstacle is sin, and so it follows that Our Lady would end her message by saying, "Therefore, I call all of you to reconciliation with God." Our reading from St. Paul resounds with the same advice. Mary invites everyone to confession, where our sins are forgiven and can no longer separate us from God. We can therefore abandon ourselves to the Lord like trusting children, joining our yes to God with that of hers.

Application:

If you have not received the sacrament of reconciliation within the last month, make a firm commitment to do so this week, as Our Lady urges in her message today.

At every moment, in joy and in sorrow, may love prevail and, in this way, love will begin to reign in your hearts. The risen Jesus will be with you and you will be His witnesses. I will rejoice with you and protect you with my motherly mantle. Especially, little children, I will watch your daily conversion with love. Thank you for having responded to my call."


"Beneath the appearance of the species, Christ is contained, the invisible Head of the Church, the Redeemer of the World, the Center of all hearts.  From this it follows that the worship paid to the Divine Eucharist strongly impels the soul to cultivate a `social' love" (Pope Paul VI, Mysterium Fidei, Art.  70 and 71).



Mother Teresa -

Our total surrender will come today by surrendering even our sins. We need humility to acknowledge our sin. The knowledge of our sin helps us to rise.
" I will get up and go to my Father. "
Meditations by Padre Pio -

Let nature resent suffering because, when there is no sin, there is nothing more natural than this. With divine help, your will, will always be superior to it, and divine love will never diminish in your soul if you do not cease to pray (Letters III, p. 82).
 
Archbishop Fulton Sheen

There is no substitute for Faith

"Even when psychoanalysis does effect what it calls a `transference' of the mental state, it never appeases the hunger of the soul for something spiritual and beyond self to adore and worship."
 St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -
 
 Ninth Day

Today bring to Me souls who have become lukewarm, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: "Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will." For them, the last hope of salvation is to flee to My mercy.      (1228)

Most Compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love let these tepid souls, who like corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame.

O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love, and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power.

     Fire and ice cannot be joined,
     Either the fire dies, or the ice melts.
     But by Your mercy, O God,
     You can make up for all that is lacking.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls, who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: Let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy...      (1229)
 
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 25  -  THE ANNUNCIATION OF OUR LORD

On the feast day in 1986, Our Lady gave the following message:

"Today, before God, I say my "Fiat" for all of you. I repeat it: I say my "Yes" for all of you. Dear Children, pray, so that the kingdom of love may come into the whole world. How mankind would be happy if love reigned (Visionary Prayer Group March 25, 1986).

It's also appropriate that we reflect on the Annunciation as found in sacred scripture:

In the 6th month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.

And he came to her and said, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you." But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.

The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God, And now, you will conceive in your womb an bear a son, and you will name him Jesus."

Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?" The angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God."

Then Mary said, "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to you word."

Then the angel departed from her (Lk 1:26-31), 34-35, 38).

Reflection:

Today Our Lady says her fiat for all of us; she says yes to God for our sakes. Our very redemption through Christ was dependent on Mary's consent to bring the Son of God into the world. The new Eve brought salvation, not sin, as her legacy to mankind.

Now it is our turn to say yes to God by consecrating our lives to him and living out our baptismal promises. We also pray, "that the kingdom of love may come to the whole world," which means that all might open their hearts to God and experience deep conversion.

Let us close with the words the Blessed Virgin gave to the visionaries on this feast day in 1985:"

Through my joy and the joy of this people, I say to all of you this evening, I love you and I wish you well."

Application:

In prayer today, say yes to God's will for you in all things, in imitation of the Mother of Christ and in honor of her feast.

Winter of 2007-08:  Winds, Rain, Tornadoes & Record Snow

As Predicted



John Leary (1)



November 12, 2007:
Jesus said: "My people, the weather this winter will have some unusual high winds that could cause snow and ice which could result in poor visibility and many accidents. This vision of a truck turned over is an example of the accidents that could occur. People in cars or large trucks will have to be wary of the weather reports before they proceed. 

Keep some holy water and blessed sacramentals in your vehicles for safety in your travel. When you are traveling to do missions or talks, you will need more spiritual protection against the evil ones who may try to thwart you in your work.  Pray for My protection at the start of every trip, and place holy water around in your vehicle. Give thanks to Me and your guardian angel every time you return from your travels unharmed. "

November 15, 2007:
Jesus said: "My people, some areas will be seeing heavy rains, enough to cause flood warnings into the winter time.  This vision of overflowing rivers is a strong suggestion for these warnings. Even as some experience flooding, others will continue to see droughts with possible fires continuing. This again is nature's reflection of mankind where some are cold in their hearts to Me, while a few are on fire with My love.

 

It is the mission of My strong faithful to try and lead the lukewarm back to their former fervor of faith, and reach out to convert those who have never loved Me. Wake up those who are spiritually asleep because there are many signs of the Antichrist coming before I return. Today's Gospel is warning you also about the false christs who will come to try and deceive you that it is I, but do not follow them. Be always ready, for you do not know the day, nor the hour of My return."

December 3, 2007:
Jesus said: "My people, you are now moving into winter with another set of disasters that could cause trouble in the safety of your car travel and cause power outages.  Already you are seeing considerable high wind events along the Pacific coast, even as I told you windy events will become more common this winter.  You need to have warm clothing, some food and holy water or blessed salt in your cars in case your car quits or has an accident. 

 

In your homes you need back up fuels for heating as wood, kerosene, or propane to provide heat and a means of cooking if you should lose power in a snow storm.  Just as you stay prepared for your physical survival, you also need to be prepared for your spiritual survival against sin.  Frequent Confession is the best means to keep your soul pure and ready for the day of your death and judgment.  You can also pray an Act of Contrition when you go to bed, or if you feel death is imminent. 

 

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

December 5, 2007:
Jesus said: "My people, you have been witnessing some severe winter weather already with some areas receiving record windds and above average snowfalls or rainfalls.  Even your weather maps have been showing huge storms and erratic jet stream flows causing colder weather than normal.  You may or may not be aware of the HAARP (2) weather making machine that uses extremely powerful microwaves to control and change the jet streams to cause this bad weather. 

 

This maker of bad weather and the chemtrails (3) causing flu epidemics, are all part of the one world plan to cause disruption and create emergency situations for their control of people.  Many of your extreme weather events are due to the use of such machines.  This is just an added insight to how evil these people can be just to manipulate your government and the death culture that they promote.  The evil ones will have a brief reign, but they will soon face My judgment for their evil deeds.  Call on My help and My angels to protect you, and use your Hawthorn pills or tea, herbs, and vitamins to protect yourselves from these man-made viruses."

January 10, 2008:
Jesus said: "My people, you have just witnessed hurricane speed winds and several tornadoes in an unusual time of the year.  Many power outages and some deaths have resulted, and you are still picking up the debris of tree limbs and house parts. 

 

I have told you to expect more winds, disasters, and power outages, and they are coming as I foretold.  Be prepared with extra fuel and food that I will multiply if it is needed.  By preparing as I have warned you, you will be like the five wise virgins instead of the five foolish virgins who had no oil for their lamps."

January 15, 2008:
Jesus said: "My people, this year you will again see some natural disasters, and the amount of snowfalls will be near record amounts in some areas.  This vision of a significant snow blizzard is the kind of weather that will be prevalent this winter. 

 

This is another reason that I warned you to be prepared for some power outages by having extra alternate fuels, and some extra food if you cannot get to the stores or they are shut down.  These recurrent weather problems may also cause you some problems in getting to your speaking commitments.  Pray for safe travel and use your holy water and blessed salt for traveling by car or by airplane. 

 

You are also seeing in your media that the one world people are trying to force microchips into your driver's licenses for tracking purposes.  Providing security identification will also cause you problems in your travels, especially on airplanes and at the borders.  Many people are starting to see your privacy invaded more and more by government controls and regulations."

End of messages



As predicted by Our Lord via John Leary, excessive winds and tornadoes, as well as floods and record snowfall were experienced in many parts of the world during the winter of 2007-2008.

The rate of occurrence of tornadoes in the USA for the first two months of 2008 increased by 300% in January 2008, and increased by over 800% in February 2008, over the respective monthly averages for the preceding three years.  Consider the charts at the link below, as well as the news articles which follow:

Tornadoes Were Unusual For Intensity

January 8, 2008
JOURNAL TIMES - Kenosha County -- The tornadoes that roared through parts of the county Monday were unusual not just for the time of year, but also for their intensity.

National Weather Service survey crews looking at the aftermath Tuesday preliminarily rated the tornadoes that struck the Wheatland area at EF3s on the Enhanced Fujita scale. Weather Service Meteorologist Bob McMahon said the teams estimated wind speeds at 140-150 mph.---

Weather experts also estimated, based on damage, the size of the funnels that ripped through Wheatland in western Kenosha County. They estimated the width at ground level was about 200 yards.

In contrast, McMahon said the average tornado in Wisconsin is only an EF0 to EF1. "Those damage paths can be just 10 yards wide," he said.---"

Winter Storms Hit Much of Country with Wind, Snow and Hail

January 29, 2008
FOXNEWS - Denver --  A powerful storm system pounded a large swath of the nation Tuesday, spawning everything from heavy snow and numbing cold to thunderstorms and possible tornadoes, and forecasters warned more bad weather was on the way.

High winds associated with thunderstorms may have killed two people in Indiana, authorities said. Snow forced the closure of schools and highways in many areas, and avalanche warnings were issued for some Western mountainous regions.---"

While the weather was unusually severe, winter tornadoes are not uncommon. The peak tornado season is late winter through midsummer, but the storms can happen at any time of the year with the right conditions.---"

There were 67 eyewitness accounts of tornadoes, but some of those were probably twisters that were counted more than once, said Greg Carbin, the warning coordination meteorologist at the Oklahoma center. The actual number is probably more like 30 or 40, he said.

Thirty people were killed in Tennessee, 13 in Arkansas, seven in Kentucky and four in Alabama, emergency officials said. It was one of the 15 worst tornado death tolls since 1950, and the nation's deadliest barrage of tornadoes since 76 people were killed in Pennsylvania and Ohio in May 31, 1985.---"

Record Snowfalls Mean Big Meltdown

March 6, 2008
USATODAY -- "For snow-weary residents of the Midwest and New England, spring can't come soon enough.

Locations such as Madison, Wis., and Concord, N.H., endured their snowiest winter since records began, and parts of the western USA also saw a much snowier-than-average winter, according to NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.

The U.S. winter of 2007-08 - which meteorologists classify as the months of December, January and February - will go down as the coldest since the winter of 2000-01, with a national average temperature of 33.2 degrees, NOAA reported Thursday. Yet, despite the chill, the winter was still slightly warmer than the 20th-century average of 33.0 degrees.

However, it's the snowfall that may be the most memorable element of this winter.

"We had 13 inches of snow on Feb. 1 alone," said Springfield, Ill., resident Julie Becker. "We haven't had 13 inches of snow in years."

In Madison, the 88.3 inches of wintertime snow shattered the all-time record of 76.1 inches, set in the winter of 1978-79, according to the National Weather Service.

Concord recorded 100.1 inches of snow this season, stressing roofs and frazzling drivers' nerves. Before that, the record had been 78 inches, set during the winter of 1886-87, according to the weather service. ---

---Three straight months of above-average snowfall will benefit residents of Arizona, California, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, Utah and Wyoming because runoff from the Colorado mountains feeds rivers that run through those states.---"

The onslaught continued throughout the day and Paul Leinster, director of operations at the Environment Agency, said the "potent cocktail" of strong winds, large waves and high tides would last until tomorrow. ---

Message to J.N.S.R. Feb.15,2008

The Forgiveness of God  -  Judas



February 15, 2008
 
JNSR:  "My God, why have You abandoned me?  In all my turmoil, I cried to You, sick, my aching body, bruised from head to toe, alone, always alone, day as well as night."
 
            As I was thus complaining to JESUS, the image of JESUS appeared before me, flogged, tied with ropes, dragged, streaming with blood, in front of this angry crowd that was there to judge Him.  The Lord said to me:
 
                           "See, how I am still treated!"  Then I see many dark prisons.  Men crouching, naked, in a deplorable state,  the smell is of sweat and blood.  JESUS says to me:
 
JESUS:  In these times of desolation, the children of God are still persecuted, hidden where no one can see how far their executioners go, without faith nor law.  Your brothers are dying, suffering martyrdom, and the tyrants are safe behind the absolute Power of those countries with totalitarian governments.
 
            Yes, and you still hear Me tell you  to forgive your enemies.  And you hear Me say again to My Father:  "Forgive them for they know not what they do".  Then you cry out loudly:  "That is impossible!  For these murderers, there can be no pardon".  And God must continue to free from your hands,  the hands ready to become  murderous,  the  guilty one  who escapes for your own good:  "Thou shall not kill".  
 
            I will tell you about Judas.  Frightened of being martyred, by his lack of courage, so as not to arrive to the supreme sacrifice for his God, as all the Apostles accepted it (except My John, who was called to serve My Holy Mother to his last breath on this Earth),  Judas sensed the destiny that would eventually be that of the servants as well as that of the Master. 

Through this  fear,  that went beyond his Love for God, and especially to make up for his humiliation, coming from the great deception of his pride, as he hoped to see the Master become the head of this great country, Judas became  the Traitor,  judging that he was betrayed by the One for whom he entertained such a great love and ideal, He who commanded  death itself.  And there he was, at the point of being unable to do anything for him, even when he, Judas, held Him so high.........
                 
 
            Behold, he decided to let his idol be led to death.
 
            He took part in  the execution, not for the money but rather out of deception.  Judas   was deceived  and it was JESUS who for him, became  the unfaithful,  the One who betrayed the Love that Judas had for Him.  In his bitterness, he was reversing the roles:  he was the innocent  and JESUS  was the guilty one  who had deceived him so profoundly.
 
            I have more to tell you.  Did I utter the final sentence against Judas?  Could you know what color was his soul at the time of his last breath?  Which of you, even today could measure My Holy Mercy?
 
Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.   (Luke 23: 34)
 
            For each of you, as for Judas, in order to ascend to My Cross, I stripped Myself of My Divinity, in My Suffering, as in My Death.   While the Mighty in My Country,  (My real enemies),
believed they had triumphed and could not acknowledge Me as the Son of God, Judas saw Me, as I was, abandoned by Heaven and Earth. 

Endorsing the pains of  all  Humanity, with all the horrible sins of the World, past, present and to come.   Vanquished by all the sovereigns of Israel and of Rome.  Judas then saw Me as  his brother  in suffering, and he cried his helplessness, seeing all the evil he had himself initiated without being able to remedy it.
 
            Judas also saw the Father  crying,  out of His helplessness before the Holy Redemption of the World that, to be accomplished, had to carry towards Death, in a Suffering of Love, the most cruel death there is,  the Redemptor,  His own Son.  In order to bring to death all the sins I had taken on Myself,  I had to die on My Cross.   
 
            Facing all this Evil, and still  in this Evil,  I had to feel all alone and forsaken.  Then I cried to the Father:  "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
 
            The Father could not annihilate the Resurrection, all His children had to profit by it.  Everything had to be accomplished, the Salvation of man was at that price.   The Father had to let His Son die,  God had to die and rise again.
 
No one is excluded from the Love of God.
 
            If the Pope forgave the man who tried to kill him, if that murderer was forgiven by My Vicar, John Paul II, how would the Master, the Source of Love and Intelligence, He who taught His Apostles that  He is the Way, the Life and the Truth,  how could I, your Lord JESUS Christ judge My comrade, My misguided brother?
 
            God IS Love.  The separation cannot come from God.  It is unilateral, for only man can sin and love all at the same time.
 
            God lets Himself be touched  by all your Masses for the World Repentance,  for all those who do not yet repent for their sins.  God will forgive you.  His forgiveness can be  general.  Insist on this!
 
The Absolution opens the door to God's Peace.

JESUS Christ.
 
† †  †
 
JNSR:  After this writing, JESUS said to Me:  " What about you?  Would you know how to forgive and endure everything for the Love of your God?"

Message to J.N.S.R.Feb.12,2008

Silence is Gold


February 12, 2008
 
JESUS:  When the Lord's Messenger is under attack from outside sources,  he receives a signal from God bringing him to a stop.  He must remain silent for a while.
 
God speaks to the World because of His Love
for His children.
 
            The choice of God is not negotiable.  Why did gold and precious stones remain hidden in wastelands or wild soils of the planet?  Why are the Messages like those lands sometimes?  And why so much doubt and judgment against them?
 
            Those are not the ones that are inaccessible,  it is God.  Confusion is Evil's weapon.  And judgment is the weapon of the weak who contributes to the undoing of God's Work.
 
You cannot go back, nor can you set God's Time back.
 
            But you can make this moment more difficult for some.  The Words of the Messenger are human words used on this Earth.  In themselves, with their intonation, their modulation, they will not adapt to every kind of listeners.  So, you must try to find, in them,  My Word.  Even if the Instrument is not pleasing to some.   In them try to find  the reason why  they are interested in coming to you.
 
            For the Messengers also know your thoughts, and come to relay to you what they have kept preciously in their heart:  My Holy Word offered to you in My Love for all.
 
They are your servants.  Do not despise them.
 
They only ask you to listen.
 
The Word of JESUS Christ.

Message From Mother Mary Thru Lec- March 20, 2008

Message From Mother Mary March 20, 2008
6:50 AM

Son, I have always something to tell you but our respect for your time and your
free will so as to allow you to do more in the exercise of mercy and love
compelled me and my Son Jesus to give you the freer use of your time, so I too
said goodbye not too long ago.

But now I see how you still yearn for the love of a Mother as your own mother is
no longer around to talk to you. For this reason alone, I have come back, for I
see your willingness and availability to offer your time and energy to be at our
disposal which in itself can be considered as your free will choice already,
hence, I can say that your free will is never violated. I am very happy for
your offering which is no other than your very self.

 

On this account, let me
once more open my line of communication with you although the Father has not at
all ceased communicating with you.

Therefore my son, let me say once more, your mother is here once again to
console you with my motherly love and affection.

Ellen Renders Good Friday Meditations (Good for any Holy Sacrifice of the Mass)

Good Friday, March 21, 2008

Meditation


This morning I wanted to spend time with Jesus remembering His suffering and
death on the Cross for us and offer up my own internal suffering to be united
with Him. There will be no Mass until 3:00 P.M.

Thinking about my younger 58 year old brother today who has 85% blockage of his
tiny arteries and veins where they cannot do a Bypass or even stent, I am very
saddened. He attends Mass everyday and he and his wife have been raising two
grandchildren born to their drug addicted daughter.

While sitting there with Jesus, I picked up Meditations For Holy Week and moved
to the page containing meditations for Good Friday and felt moved to share this
with all.


Good Friday

Luke:23:24: Father forgive them; they do not know what they are
doing.

Luke 23:43; I assure you, this day you will be with me in paradise!



Luke 23:46: Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.



Meditation: What person could face death, a brutal agonizing death,
with words such as these: begging forgiveness for others, promising paradise to
the sinner and complete resignation of will to God! Truly, only you, Divine Son
of God Savior of the world!

In my humility I ask too, that you remember me as you reign in heaven. May my
life on earth follow your words, your example, that I may be found worthy to
share in your kingdom. Be close at the hour of my death, dear Jesus that I may
face you with courage and acceptance of the will of God.


Discernment: I was reminded in the last words, May I face you with courage and
acceptance of the will of God how all too often we pray for God to cure the sick
and perform healing over the body that we or our loved ones might remain in the
world as we are so attached to the world. Jesus often reminds us that it is our
Soul that He came to earth to heal and to save. Jesus reminds us to face our
death with acceptance and courage. Our faith in His promise to share eternity
with Him in paradise (just as He promised the sinner on the Cross next to Him),
should become our joy and salvation!

Share your sorrow and anguish with Jesus. Offer up your suffering and accept the
will of God in trust.

Good Friday - What did Our Lady feel? - & Stations of the Cross

When my Son died on the Cross, my heart was torn from Him, and I was in shock.
There was complete emptiness in me. I was numb. When I received my Son in my
arms, all my emotion poured out; then there was nothing left in me. I wanted to
die with Him. In my heart, I did; but I had to remain on this earth for you."

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 23 - Renounce those things which are hurting you

"Aside from the Blessed Virgin, Saint Joseph was the first and most perfect adorer of our Lord." "Among the graces which Jesus gave to His foster-father—and He flooded him with graces attached to every one of His mysteries—is that special to an adorer of the Blessed Sacrament. That is the one we must ask of Saint Joseph.

Have confidence, strong confidence in him. Take him as the patron and the model of your life of adoration." "Saint Joseph, first and most perfect of adorers, obtain for me the grace to love, adore, and serve Christ Eucharistic as you did." (St. Peter Julian Eymard)  


"Before whom am I?  You are, Holy Church answers me, in the presence of Jesus Christ, your King, your Savior, and your God . . . .  Adore Him therefore, O  my soul, with the faith of the kings of Bethlehem. 

 

Offer Him the incense of your adoration, as to your God; the myrrh of your mortification, as to your Savior; the gold of your love and the tribute of dependence, as to your King!" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).
Pope John Paul II -

Bishop Murilo Kreiger - "We three bishops and 31 priests will travel tomorrow from Medjugorje to Rome. Coming from Brazil to Rome we had but one desire, to go to Medjugorje and to stay there for two weeks at the school of Mary…

 

We never dreamed that so many and such beautiful graces were awaiting us…" (homily at Medjugorje Jan 21 1988). Medjugorje and the Church, Sr Emmanuel & Denis Nolan P 21

Mother Teresa -

Who Is Jesus to Me?
Jesus is the Hungry to be fed.
Jesus is the Thirsty to be satiated.
Jesus is the Naked to be clothed.
Jesus is the Homeless to be taken in.
Jesus is the Sick to be healed.
Jesus is the Lonely to be loved.

Who Is Jesus to Me?
Jesus is the Love to be loved.
Jesus is the Joy to be shared.
Jesus is the Sacrifice to be offered.
Jesus is the Peace to be given.

Who Is Jesus to Me?
Jesus is the Word to be spoken.
Jesus is the Truth to be told.
Jesus is the Way to be walked.
Jesus is the Light to be lit.
Jesus is the Life to be lived.
Meditations by Padre Pio -

The lot of chosen souls is to suffer. God, the author of all grace and of every gift leading to salvation, has decreed that glory will be ours on condition that we endure suffering in a Christian spirit (Letters II, p. 262).
 
Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Without the Face of Love you have the mask of evil

"If there is not one great Face of Love that bends over mankind, its troubled mind will fill it with a thousand horrible masks."
St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -
 

Seventh Day

Today bring to me the souls who especially venerate and glorify My mercy, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over My Passion and entered most deeply into My Spirit.

 

They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death.       (1224)

Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy.

 

These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy. These souls are united to Jesus and carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life.

      A soul who praises the goodness of her Lord
      Is especially loved by Him.
      She is always close to the living fountain
      And draws graces from Mercy Divine.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy, and their spirit, overflowing with joy, sings a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High!

 

I beg You O God: Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them, I Myself will defend as My own glory, during their lifetime, and especially at the hour of their death, those souls who will venerate My fathomless mercy.      (1225)
 
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 23 - RENOUNCE THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE HURTING YOU

During Lent of 1990 Our Lady spoke of attachments:

"Dear Children, I invite you to surrender to God. In this season of Lent, I ask you to especially renounce those things to which your are attached but which are hurting you and your spiritual life. Therefore, little children, decide completely for God, and do not allow Satan into your life through those things that hurt both you and your spiritual life.

Little Children, God is offering himself totally to you, but you can discover and recognize him only in prayer. Therefore, make a decision for prayer! (Monthly Message Feb. 25, 1990).

St. Paul also warns of worldly attachments:

Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of them, and now I tell you even with tears. Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ (Phil 3:17-20).

Reflection:

St. Paul criticizes the self-indulgent Christians of his day, for although they claim allegiance to Christ, they ignore his model of servanthood and sacrifice.

They seem to satisfy their own desires even before thinking about the needs of others; to their detriment, they are "set upon the things of this world."

Our Lady of Medjugorje points to the same danger:«I ask you to especially renounce," she says, "those things to which you are attached, but which are hurting you and your spiritual life."

Application:

Today, take the time to identify those attachments or addictions that hurt your spiritually. They could include alcohol, drugs, shopping, television, status seeking, power games, manipulation of others, and materialism in many forms. After you identify your own harmful attachments, isolate one and consciously work on moderating or even eliminating it for one week. At the same time, pray to the Blessed Mother for the special grace you will need; she will generously provide it.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 22 - I have been appealing for renewal

 
"We all have in him [St. Joseph] a model and a protector.  As adorers of the Sacramental Jesus, we continue near the Blessed Sacrament his service, his adoration and his love.  He will watch over us and give us his spirit and virtues.  Leading us to Jesus, he will say to Him: 'I cannot be on earth any longer to watch over You and serve You, but bless these adorers who are replacing me; give them the graces You gave me, so that their service may recall and replace mine.'  How happy St. Joseph is to see us crowding about Jesus in His Sacrament, feeble, abandoned, persecuted, more in need of defenders and servants than in His Infancy . . . .  Saint Joseph, be my protector, my model, and my father in my service of Jesus Eucharistic"  (St. Peter Julian Eymard).     
L


"Our Eucharistic faith tells us that Christ the King is himself here present, the tabernacle serving equivalently as his throne of grace.  In this context, then, we may aptly apply the inspired and inspiring words: 'Let us come boldly before the throne of grace, to meet with mercy and win that grace which will help us in our needs'" (Heb. 4:16).  (Fr. Richard  Foley, S.J.)
Pope John Paul II -

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

Mother Teresa -

Our ideal is no one but Jesus.
We must think as He thinks,
love as He loves,
wish as He wishes;
we must permit Him to use us to the full.
 
Meditations by Padre Pio -
True servants of God have always preferred adversity as being more in conformity with the way taken by our Head, Who worked out our salvation by means of the cross and humiliations (Epist. IV, p. 148).
 
Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The empty soul feeds Satan's needs

"Whence came the millions to accept the superstition of Nazism, Fascism, and Communism if it were not from an emptiness of soul brought about by a loss of faith? The essence of political superstition is the identification of the laboring class and Messianism."
St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -
 

Sixth Day

Today bring to me the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who would keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is able to receive My grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence.      (1220)

Most Merciful Jesus, You yourself have said, "Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart." Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy and they are the heavenly Father's favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy.       (1221)

      A truly gentle and humble soul
      Already here on earth the air of paradise breathes,
      And in the fragrance of her humble heart
      The Creator Himself delights.       (1222)

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls, and upon the souls of little children who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight You take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.       (1223)

Mar 22  -  I HAVE BEEN APPEALING FOR RENEWAL

The Madonna is firm in her call to Lenten renewal and prayer :

" Dear Children, day after day I have been appealing to you for renewal and prayer in the parish, but you are not responding. Today I am calling you for the last time. This is the season of Lent, and you as a parish should out of love, be moved to live my messages. If you do not, I do not wish to continue giving them. God is permitting me that. Thank you for responding to my call." Weekly Message Feb. 21, 1985

Psalm 38 is a repentant call to God :

For I am ready to fall, And my pain is ever with me. I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin.

Those who are my foes without cause are mighty. And many are those who hate me wrongfully.

Those who render me evil for good Are my adversaries because I follow after good. Do not forsake me, O Lord; O my God, do not be far from me; Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation. ---Psalm 38 ;17-22

Reflection :

Both Our Lady and the psalmist today call us to repentance, to acknowledge our sin, neglect, or indifference in the sight of God.

Because we have a tendency to sin or to be spiritually lethargic, repentance is the true measure of spiritual sensitivity. It means asking the Lord to forgive us and then abandoning our sinful or lethargic ways. But we cannot do this sincerely unless we are truly sorry for our misdeeds and then commit ourselves to positive action.

This is the Virgin's wish today, that we take to heart her call to renewal and prayer. It is a serious matter for all of us.

Application :

Review your spiritual life today. Has Lent been a time of prayer and renewal for you? If not, make a fresh start today.

The Divine Descendance - The Holy Grace of God

*******

February 10, 2008
 
JESUS:  Unite, My children, to the essential of God, to what I am asking you today.  Humanity is ONE, just like each of you is ONE in his body, in his soul and in his spirit.  Unite together so as to receive the Strength and the Light that are but ONE with the Spirit of God.
 
            In order to lessen the fullness of  the final chaos,  know that it is not coming by chance.  Also, even though you cannot avoid it, for evil forces have already set it on course, you can  delay  it and also weaken it.  Such is the time you still have to receive the Grace of God.  Your salvation depends on it.
 
            You are tied to each other by the bonds of Love  of your Lord JESUS Christ.  Those are the Graces of  God.  The Purity of God and His indestructible Might shall always subsist and fill all of Eternity.
 
            If man is conscious of simply being  an actor in the Salvation of the World, I shall add My Holy Grace to his work and grant him My Holy Mercy.
 
Do not run away from God.  He will always catch up with you.
 
            For in your life, remember, you did call Him, be it  only once.  Your bond, with which I recapture you is  the Divine Descendance.  And this surpasses everything that My children can understand.
 
            During your life, even if it has been very miserable, you have  loved one person, one instant, because of that hand that rescued you, or that loving gaze on you.  A fleeting moment, a short instant was  that slight touch  that awoke in you some Joy to enlighten your soul.  I was there.  I am the image of that man.  Like you, he was created in My Image.
 
            I am here to help you.  Do not reject me.  All can be conquered with Love,  You are my Divine Descendance.
 
Your JESUS of Love.

Jesus said: “My people, this vision of your modern sophisticated weapons of war appear so overpowering to the capabilities of the insurgents tha you are fighting with, when they are using road bombs and suicide bombers. Yet the one world people are insistent on constant wars and tying down your armies in foreign lands. These wars, that are in oil and drug countries, are too obvious that money is the incentive behind the wars. Wars that only want regime changes and are non-provoked, as in Iraq, should alert your people as to how you are being manipulated. It is time that Americans question these wars and how long they are dragged out for areas that have no concern to your country. It is the rich and the Defense industries that profit from these wars, even when there was an absence of nuclear weapons on which the war was based. Pray for an end to these wars, and voice your opinion against this constant killing in foreign lands.”

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: “My people, when a recession or inflation is threatened, some place their trust in gold, thinking that it will not lose its value. My people should put their trust in Me whether you are in good times or in bad times. When you put your trust in money or gold, these things could be corrupted or stolen. When you put your trust in Me, I will promise you eternal life. I love all of you so dearly, and I struggle to help save your souls as long as you are alive.”

Jesus said: “My people, some people want to have as many earthly comforts as possible. It is almost impossible to carry your daily cross without some expectation that you are going to suffer some in this world. Your days will be filled with trials, and you will have to shoulder life’s burdens of sickness, working for a living, and putting up with pain and inconveniences. When you suffer in this life, it will not be any different for everyone else. Ask for My blessings and graces so that your families will be able to endure your life’s trials.”

Jesus said: “My people, do not expect that you will be given all that you need without having to work for it. Some inherit wealth from rich families, but these are few in number. Some receive charity who are unable to work, but you do not want their handicaps. Most people are forced to find work in order to survive, but trust in Me to find you adequate employment. I will not leave you orphans, so you know that I will help provide for your bare necessities as I feed the birds and dress the lilies of the field.”

Jesus said: “My people, during Lent you are asked to give alms to the poor, but not just a token amount. When you give donations to the poor, I want you to give from the heart and be a cheerful giver. This means that you should be tithing ten per cent of your income to help My Church and the poor. You are willing to spend considerable amounts on vacations and your leisure spending on your home items. So be willing to share a considerable amount as well to help your neighbor in having food and shelter.”

Jesus said: “My people, beware of the one world people who will be trying for a takeover of your country by inflicting viruses on you from chem trails and even through the existing flu shots. There is a plan to have all the children receive the flu shots without thinking of any side effects on them. Build up your immune systems and be wary of taking any shots unless you are at great risk.”

Jesus said: “My people, this is the third week into Lent and you would do well to see if you are making any sacrifices in your attempts to improve your spiritual life. You made some promises to yourself to do some penances and help people. Are you truly fulfilling your intentions, or do you need to get back on track to what you promised? By making some sacrifices as fasting, or denying yourself something that you like, you can strengthen your spiritual life for this Lent.”

Jesus said: “My people, during Lent you should be more focused on seeking My forgiveness of your sins. You can strive to be more holy by attending daily Mass, and going to frequent Confession of your sins. It is not easy to avoid constant temptations, but you have strength and forgiveness in My sacrament of Penance or Reconciliation. Making some extra prayer time each day will also help you to see the big picture of why you are here on this earth. By doing everything to serve Me more than yourself, you will have more focus on your purpose in this life to follow Me.”

Jesus said: “My people, many of your scientists have been trying to explain the losses in the number of beehives. Some are saying that it is a combination of mites and insecticides that are disorienting the bees. Man has tried to change plants by making hybrids to improve on My perfection for better yields. All of his manipulations are interfering with how seeds are made, and insecticides are killing even the good insects. A third of your crops require pollination with the help of the bees. If the bee population continues to decrease, this could even threaten the beginnings of a world famine. This is why you may need to stock up on seeds that are not hybrids, so you can harvest seeds the next year. All of man’s manipulations of his crops could undermine My balance of nature and cause a shortage in your food supply. This is why I will have to multiply your food so you can survive this disaster. Keep farming with My original perfect crops and you will see better yields and quality in the end, with seeds that you can continue to harvest.”

Jesus said: “My people, this volcanic eruption will send ash and black smoke into the sky for miles high. It will cause a major blocking of the sun in the immediate area and it will affect the local weather for a time. There will even be a slight reduction in the earth’s overall temperature. These such events have occurred in earth’s history before, but this event will shake many people to realize the fury of nature. I have told you before that you will see many unusual natural disasters this year, and this describes one such event. Be prepared to witness such events that could change the way you live today. As you see this volcano spew flame and dust all over, know also that some demons will be released from hell through this volcano to torment souls on the earth. This is a sign to you that the tribulation is about to begin.”

Saturday, March 1, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, this picture of ice on the window represents the coldness of many hearts in ignoring My love, and their refusal to seek My forgiveness of their sins. In today’s Gospel of the Pharisee and the tax collector it shows the pride of the Pharisee in looking down on the tax collector. The tax collector was sorrowful for his sins and he went away from the temple more justified in being humble for his sins than the Pharisee. Everything, that you have, has come from Me, so be thankful for your blessings instead of bragging about them or seeing yourself as better than someone else. All of you are in progress of improving your spiritual lives, so do not be critical of someone at different stages of their development, since you were not always where you are today. Instead, always be humble because it was your free will choices to sin that have brought you grief. But you have hope because you can always come to Me for forgiveness. It is the cold and unrepentant souls that are risking eternal condemnation.”

(Funeral Mass for Monsignor Emmett Murphy) Jesus said:

“My people, it is sad, but an opportunity to celebrate the life of this wonderful and holy priest. He served his parish well, and he was an inspiration to many aspiring to be in the priesthood. In a time when there are few ordinations, you need such inspiring priests to bring more into My vineyard. Ask the harvest master to bring more priests into My service. It is by having more people at Adoration of My Blessed Sacrament that you can make fertile ground for more vocations to the priesthood. Monsignor Emmett helped distribute many sacraments to the people over his near seventy years of service in the priesthood. He truly lived the words of the Scripture: ‘Thou art a priest forever according to the order of Melchisedech.’” (Hebrews 7:17)

Sunday, March 2, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, today’s Gospel shows you how strongly the Pharisees did not want to believe that I healed the blind man of his sight. They questioned the blind man twice and his parents, and even faced with a real miracle, they threw the man out because he questioned why they did not believe in Me. The Pharisees did not like the fact that I healed the man on the Sabbath. By not believing in My miracles and calling Me and the blind man sinners, they thought now they did not have to believe that I was sent from God. This empty box in the vision represents their non-belief that I was God’s Son. But if the Father sent Me, then they refused to believe in the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. This is why I said if they see in an earthly sense, then they are still in their sin and are spiritually blind to My love. It is the same for the people of today. If people do not want to believe in Me as their Savior, and they do not want to seek My forgiveness of their sins, then they are still steeped in their sins, and are risking the fires of hell.”

Jesus said: “My people, this is a very difficult scene to see so many spirit bodies leaving their dead bodies as a result of a pandemic virus that will be very deadly. This virus will be spread by the chem trails and the one world people will protect themselves with an antidote vaccine for this virus. I am telling My people again to build up your immune system with Hawthorn pills or tea, along with other herbs, vitamins, and nuts. Once you see this pandemic beginning with many people dying, it would be a good time to call on Me to lead you to your refuges where you would be healed of all sicknesses by drinking the water of the healing spring, and looking on the luminous cross. The evil ones will try to reduce the population so they have less people to control. This tribulation time will be brief before I will come and cast this evil lot into hell. My faithful will then rejoice to live in My Era of Peace.”

Monday, March 3, 2008: (St. Katherine Drexel)

Jesus said: “My people, much of your fresh water for your crops comes from rain water which is really fresh water that is distilled from the salty oceans, or from the Great Lakes. Unfortunately, your air pollution puts acid and other pollutants in the rain water, and it makes your lakes in higher elevations so acid that fish cannot live in them. In your news there was a remark about certain bacteria being present in your rainfall. It did not explain how bacteria and viruses got into the air in the first place. It is your government’s plans to place chem trails in your skies and the chem trails are loaded purposely with bacteria and viruses to make people sick with flu-like symptoms. When it rains, all of these chem trail pollutants are found in your rainwater as a result. This is another reason why you have so much sickness spread over your land. It is also why I have recommended Hawthorn pills and tea, herbs, and vitamins to build up your immune systems to fight these diseases.”

Jesus said: “My people, My cross stands strong during Lent because you should be focused on how I suffered for all of you because I love you. My Gospel of love and life calls for a better spiritual life than the call of the death culture being promoted by the one world people and the candidates that they support. Many of these candidates support either the war or abortion, and some even both. If you love your neighbor, then you would not seek constant wars and still further, you would not continue a war under false pretenses. You know how much I love the little children, and any candidate in favor of abortion is badly misled, and should not be advocating killing My little ones. Do not be misled by the media and any candidates who promote the death culture. Follow My love for each other and protect the preciousness of life.”

Tuesday, March 4, 2008: (St. Caismir)

Jesus said: “My people, in today’s Gospel I took pity on the paralyzed man who was unable to move himself into the healing waters of Bethsaida when the water was stirred. I healed him on the Sabbath which angered the religious authorities when I told him to pick up his mat and walk. (John 5:1-18) In the vision many light candles for various intentions of healing and conversions. At holy places, as Lourdes, there are some healings granted to those who believe that I can heal them. Spiritual conversions are even more important than physical healings. Those, who have their prayers answered, should also remember to give praise and thanks to Me for any healings. There are many miracles still performed, even when they are not always made public. You will see even more miracles at My refuges when My faithful will be healed of all of their health problems through the healing spring water, and looking at My luminous cross in the sky.”

Jesus said: “My people, many question whether there is a heaven, hell, or purgatory, but I can assure you that they exist in the next life. You are spirit and body, but at death your soul is separated from your body. It is where your soul goes that should most concern you, because eventually you choose by your actions whether you will be in heaven or hell. This vision of purgatory is truly a journey, because with prayer and My mercy these souls can gradually move to the upper levels of purgatory, and one day they are promised to be with Me in heaven. Souls suffer in purgatory to make atonement for the temporal punishment due for their sins. Your prayers and Masses for these souls can shorten their stay in this punishment. To be a saint, you must be purified of all of your hate, grudges, and unforgiveness of others. You also need to be cleansed of all attachments to earthly things, so no idols will be before Me. Once you have been made clean and perfect, only then are you ready for heaven. You continue to think that My ways are not fair, but truly it is your ways that are not fair in giving glory to Me. The more you suffer on earth and store up good deeds in your treasure in heaven, the less you will have to be purified in purgatory. The more you trust in Me, as a child trusts in their parents, the closer you are to My heart. Love Me in everything that comes, in both the good and the bad, and your reward will be great in heaven.”

Wednesday, March 5, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, this vision of prison bars represents how your sins imprison you from doing the best that I want you to accomplish. When I died on the cross for your sins, now you are free and can be forgiven of your sins. The opening of the prison bars means that the gates of heaven have been opened for those worthy to enter. The consequences of sin take away grace from your soul, and you become weak to break the bonds of your bad habits. You can come to Me in Confession and your sins can be cleansed and sanctifying grace is restored to your soul. Now you are more worthy to receive Me in Holy Communion, and the grace of My Eucharist will heal the harm done by your sins. So rejoice in your spiritual freedom, but remember that you are now more responsible to obey My Commandments so you can show Me how much you love Me. You can put your trust in Me to provide for all of your needs, so call on Me when you are in distress and even in your every day trials. Soon you will be celebrating My Resurrection at Easter, and you can look forward one day to being with Me in heaven.”

Jesus said: “My people, you occasionally see shooting stars as a result of burning up space debris from various satellites. Recently, your military shot down a military satellite with dangerous unspent fuel. These events can also be seen as signs or omens of events to come. You truly will be seeing some unusual natural disasters and man-made events this year. Be prepared for some dramatic damage and possible loss of life with all of these events. Be assured that I will be at your side to call on Me for help in any disaster to come. Except for Katrina and your California fires, you have had a relative calm from disasters. Tornadoes, droughts, and ice storms have unsettled your people recently. These things will only increase in intensity.”

Thursday, March 6, 2008
 
Jesus said: “My people, I call to mind a reflection that you remember in ‘My Imitation of Christ’ (p. 243): ‘Son, be not curious nor give thyself to useless cares.’ This same fascination with curiosity is expressed by the vision of someone using a telescope to search for information. At times you are interested in hearing the latest news of what is going on around you. Some are also curious of what are the latest electronic gadgets that they must have for whatever reason. This quest for the latest news can even be expanded in using the internet to find that information. The reason, that I am visiting this subject, is because this quest for new information can become an obsession. It can interfere with your spiritual life which can take you away from your focus on Me and serving Me, when you focus on your own plans. As you read the account in Exodus about My anger at the Hebrews for worshiping the golden calf, you see why I do not want any idols or strange gods before Me. I am a jealous God, and I want your full attention on My plans for your life. Always pray for direction from Me so that you are doing the right things for your spiritual growth. When worldly concerns and desirable objects take up too much of your time, then there will be less time for Me in your prayer life. Guard yourself so that these worldly things do not control you. Once you acquire the latest news, it quickly becomes old. Once you acquire the latest gadget, it breaks, becomes obsolete, or you quickly lose interest in it. Focus your attention on pleasing Me and following My Will, and do not let your curiosity run your life.”
 
Prayer Group:

Jesus said: “My people, this is a powerful vision and the locked door represents the door of your heart which I am always knocking on to come in. I do not force My Will on your will because I want you to love Me of your own free will. There is rejoicing in heaven whenever any soul opens this lock with their own unique key so I can come into that heart and soul. If you desire to be with Me in heaven, I call you to consecrate everything over to My Divine Will so I can use you and mold you to do the mission that I have intended for you. If you struggle and want to lead by yourself, it is hard for Me to use you when you pull in the opposite direction. I know that you are weak in your human state, but call on My help to give you the graces that you need to endure your life on this earth.”

Jesus said: “My people, you know how you need heat in the car to melt the ice, and scraping to remove the ice so your windshield wipers can function. When you have cold hearts to Me, it is hard for you to be warm and loving of Me so you can function as a loving Christian. It takes forgiveness in Confession to bring back the warmth of My love into your hearts. You cannot function as the iced up windshield wipers until you thaw out your icy hearts to Me. Keep holding Me close in love, and love your neighbor as yourself.”

Jesus said: “My people, it is unfortunate that Father Steiger had to be involved in this scandal in the Church. Now, he has passed away and many of his friends want to remember the good things that he had done most of his life. He took strong positions against abortion and stood up for many traditions of the Church which have been compromised by others. His manner may have been hard at times, but he had a deep love for Me, My Blessed Mother, and the saints. He will have to be purified in purgatory for a time, but he brought many souls into the Church and was a good shepherd. Pray for his soul, even despite his weaknesses.”

Jesus said: “My people, it is not easy to bring up children through their school years. There are many distractions that could mislead students in wasting their time instead of paying attention to their studies. When they are having difficulties with their studies, you need to pray for them and find ways to help them with their teachers so they do not lose heart and give up without trying. Encourage them with love and concern, and not with only hard penalties. You will accomplish more with love, help, and prayer than with stern punishments.”

Jesus said: “My people, at My final refuges I will provide everyone shelter, water, and food in abundance. Before people reach their final destination of a refuge, many will travel first to the nearest interim refuge. There will be food multiplied and water there, but sleeping space may be difficult for a while. Have patience with your temporary accommodations and work to help each other. Angels will protect you at these interim refuges as you will gradually make your way to your final refuge. Trust in My plans and I will protect you from the evil ones and all of their diseases.”

Jesus said: “My people, many of you know the sensitivity of silicon microchips that can be destroyed by EMP or Electromotive Pulse waves by nuclear bombs or EMP weapons. In some military areas there are old vacuum tube backup communications just in case these EMP weapons are used to destroy all of the microchips. It is hard to find such equipment, but it would be useful against an EMP attack. Be prepared for the use of some very sophisticated weapons that could be used in various countries. The countries with the better weapons and counter measures will be the countries in power.”

Jesus said: “My people, in many Scripture accounts I call on everyone to pick up their daily cross and carry it with Me in sharing My suffering on the cross. Some pray the Stations of the cross, but I want you to make an effort to say them especially on every Lenten Friday. You will soon be preparing for Holy Week and the devotions for Good Friday when I carried My cross to Calvary. You all share your crosses with My suffering, and I will help you as Simon helped Me to carry My cross. Offer up all of your suffering to Me, and you will see the redemptive merit in your intentions.”

Friday, March 7, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, in the readings you saw how the just ones had to suffer for being righteous and following God’s law against the worldly pleasures. The world loves its sins of avarice, abortion, and prostitution, and those who preach against these sins are persecuted for My Name’s sake. This vision of the pillar for My scourging is the Hour of My suffering when the authorities of My time could not stand that I was saying that I was the Son of Man sent by My Father in heaven. They rejected Me as a blasphemer and had Me crucified because they could not believe My works, My words, or My miracles, nor that I was God’s Son. I used their ignorance of My mission so I could die for all of mankind’s sins. But all just and righteous people, who follow My ways, can expect the same treatment for living according to My laws and evangelizing souls.”

Sunday, March 9, 2008: (5th Sunday of Lent, Lazarus)

Jesus said: “My people, today’s Gospel is focused on: ‘I am the Resurrection and the Life.’ for everyone for both believers and future converts. Just as I resurrected Lazarus back to life in this world, I will resurrect all of My faithful in the next life at the final judgment when you will have your soul joined with your glorified bodies. For those who live during the tribulation of the Antichrist, they will be enduring with My grace their living purgatory on earth. At the end of the tribulation, all of My faithful at My refuges will be called forth as Lazarus to join Me on a renewed earth in My coming Era of Peace. My faithful souls will be further purified in preparation to join Me in heaven. Rejoice, My people, for you will see My glorious victory in a short time.”

Monday, March 10, 2008: (Susanna, Daniel 13:1-62)

Jesus said: “My people, today’s first reading of Susanna showed you how the lust of the two elders caused them to try to defile Susanna. When they could not have their way with her, they tried to use their authority as judges to have Susanna put to death. But Daniel convicted them of perjury against her and they were killed. There are those with power and money who try to Lord it over innocent victims in your own court system. I called the lawyers to task for their lack of justice. (Luke 11:46, 52) ‘Woe to you lawyers also! Because you load men with oppressive burdens, and you yourselves with one of your fingers do not touch the burdens. Woe to you lawyers! Because you have taken away the key of knowledge; you have not entered yourselves, and those who were entering you have hindered.’ In My day it was the tax collectors who stole from the people, and today it is your lawyers who charge outrageous fees for the least little things. Just as in the end the elders were brought to My justice, so anyone who abuses your court system will also be brought to My justice.”

(Ray Buonemani Funeral Mass) Jesus said:
“My people, Ray has died before you and he had a loving and generous heart in fighting for the unborn. He had compassion even for the mothers that needed counseling and help to avoid having an abortion. The Women’s Care Center is a great work that he can be proud of, and he urged many to help save My babies through helping the women in their needs. The miracle of the bleeding cross at this place, also was a testimony to Ray’s efforts to save the unborn. If you had more people with his zeal, more babies could be saved. Ray loved his family even amidst some trials, but he was there for them even besides his illnesses. Remember his love and concern for others as a model for your lives

Tuesday, March 11, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, in today’s first reading you heard the account of the Israelites complaining to Moses of the manna that they were eating in the desert. As a punishment God sent the saraph serpents that bit the people and some died. After the people pleaded to Moses and were sorry for their sin, Moses was told by God to mount a bronze serpent on a pole and all, who looked on the bronze serpent, were healed of their snake bite. This is a prefigurement of how I was lifted up on a cross so I could heal everyone of their sins, and they now could have eternal life. Many look on My crucifix so they could be converted and saved, since I paid the price for your souls. There is a second prefigurement in the manna because now I instituted the Eucharist at the Last Supper, and I give you Myself in the consecrated Host as your spiritual food. I told you that he, who eats My Body and drinks My Blood, will have eternal life. So in the vision of seeing Me giving out Holy Communion, the Exodus manna is a symbol of My present Blessed Sacrament. What the people of the day of Moses were not satisfied with, has now become My very Body and Blood that satisfies the soul more than bread alone could ever do.”

Jesus said: “My people, My love is constant for My people, even when you fall into sin. As you look upon this ever flowing water fountain, think of this water as a constant flow of My graces and blessings all over My people. All that you need to do is call upon Me and I will give you My gifts from My abundant graces. All of those souls, who love Me in return, will be on the right path to eternal life. All of those souls, who refuse to love Me, are walking down the broad road to hell. You are the one by your actions that chooses your fate of either heaven or hell. Remember that I always love you, and it is you who choose at times in your sin not to love Me. But I give everyone chances to repent and return to My love by asking My forgiveness. I seek to win your soul, even until your dying breath. But remember that Satan struggles for your soul until death as well. The difference is that I created you and I love you. Satan does not know you as I do, and he only hates you. You would much rather follow your Creator who loves you and can welcome you into the glory of heaven.”

Wednesday, March 12, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, over the years you have read the lives of many saints who were martyred and gave up their lives instead of renouncing their faith in God. In today’s first reading you had Shadrach, Mishach, and Abdenago that were faithful to the God of Israel. They openly refused to bow down and worship the gold idol of the king, even though they were threatened to be thrown into the white, hot furnace. When they were thrown into the furnace, an angel came and protected them. (Daniel 3:1-97) My faithful also are persecuted today, but not always with the threat of death. It is important in your own society that you have courage to stand up against the immoralities of your day in abortion, fornication, pornography, and many more abusive sins as living together, and homosexual acts. In the vision of refining silver it also means that you must be purified by testing to clean up your life from any sinful habits. Once you are made strong by My grace of forgiveness, then you will have the courage to defend your faith, even if you may have to die for it. Be grateful to Me for your gift of faith, and guard it with your life so you can be with Me in heaven.”

“Accept these gifts with all your heart”

Reading: Matthew 26:26-30


Dear friends,

“He took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them saying, ‘This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me. And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.’ Luke 22:19-20

Today is Holy Thursday and I will be at the church this evening for Holy Mass. Tomorrow I will go to St. Philip and St. James Church, Egmont Bay, P.E.I., for the rest of Holy Week. I wish you all a Blessed Easter and may the Lord be with you all during the Paschal Triduum.

I spent a half-hour this morning with Jesus, our Suffering Lord, who said, “Melvin, My brother and sharer in My priesthood, I love you and bless you. My love goes out to all the priests of the world on this feast day of the priesthood and I bless with much love all My brothers and sisters throughout the world.

It was on the first Holy Thursday that I instituted the Holy Eucharist and made the eleven Apostles priests. We were gathered in the Upper Room in
Jerusalem to have a meal to celebrate the Passover of the Jews. It was at this meal that I took bread and said the words, ‘Take this, all of you, and eat it: this is my body which will be given up for you.’ At the end of the meal I took a cup and gave thanks and praise. I gave the cup to the Apostles and said, ‘Take this, all of you, and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for many so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me.’

In saying these words, ‘Do this in memory of me’ I made all the Apostles priests so they could celebrate the Holy Eucharist the way I did. Today there are many priests spread all over the world who are celebrating the Holy Eucharist every day. I bless all the priests on this important day and I call them all to follow Me. They act in My name as they bring Me to all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me. My great gift to you today is the Eucharist where I am truly present and the second gift is the priesthood. Accept these gifts with all your heart. I love and bless you all.”

Father Melvin

Jesus Shows Us His Cross


Today I spent an hour alone with Jesus and devoted a rosary to the Spiritual comfort of Our Lady Of Sorrows (my parish) who has diabetes and blocked arteries and was given 8 months to live, he is 58 and raising two grandchildren and attends Mass everyday!

In sorrow I knelt and prayed asking Jesus to cover me with His most precious blood. Then I asked, Jesus if it be Your will, please speak for Your servant listens.

Jesus showed me a Blue Cross that covered the entirety of the sky. All of the edges and corners of the Cross were of a very deep and dark blue and there were people holding on to the cross while attempting to climb the length of this massive Cross to reach the top. As they did this, those who succeeded were able to leave the very dark blue of the edges and corners of the Cross and walk into the very pal blue of the sky and ascend into the heavens!


My Interpretation: Jesus provided me with the discernment that each of us must bear our own cross with Christ and move beyond our suffering into the Light where He will await us!

 

Message From Jesus Thru Lec- March 20, 2008

Message From Jesus March 20, 2008
6:35 AM

Let me address you as brother this time for did I not say that my brothers and sisters are those who do the will of the Father? Your willingness and availability to give your time, energy and strength just to hear my words melts my heart that if ever I had already bid you goodbye so as to allow you the freedom to do your other preoccupations, yet I cannot ignore the offering of your self and your earnestness to get into communion with me once more thru the hearing of my words in your inner being. I am without any reservation verily pleased at your desire to meet me once more.

At this time that the church commemorates my passion on the cross, I wish also to give my blessings to all who participate in this sacred celebration. I acknowledge all who pay the due respect and veneration accorded to my sacrificial death on the cross. Tell them these words that they may know that their time and effort devoted for my sake are never forgotten.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 23 - Renounce those things which are hurting you

 



 
 
 
 
Mother Teresa -

Who Is Jesus to Me?
Jesus is the Hungry to be fed.
Jesus is the Thirsty to be satiated.
Jesus is the Naked to be clothed.
Jesus is the Homeless to be taken in.
Jesus is the Sick to be healed.
Jesus is the Lonely to be loved.

Who Is Jesus to Me?
Jesus is the Love to be loved.
Jesus is the Joy to be shared.
Jesus is the Sacrifice to be offered.
Jesus is the Peace to be given.

Who Is Jesus to Me?
Jesus is the Word to be spoken.
Jesus is the Truth to be told.
Jesus is the Way to be walked.
Jesus is the Light to be lit.
Jesus is the Life to be lived.


Meditations by Padre Pio -

The lot of chosen souls is to suffer. God, the author of all grace and of every gift leading to salvation, has decreed that glory will be ours on condition that we endure suffering in a Christian spirit (Letters II, p. 262).


 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Without the Face of Love you have the mask of evil

"If there is not one great Face of Love that bends over mankind, its troubled mind will fill it with a thousand horrible masks."


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

 

Seventh Day

Today bring to me the souls who especially venerate and glorify My mercy, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over My Passion and entered most deeply into My Spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death.       (1224)

Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy. These souls are united to Jesus and carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life.

      A soul who praises the goodness of her Lord
      Is especially loved by Him.
      She is always close to the living fountain
      And draws graces from Mercy Divine.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy, and their spirit, overflowing with joy, sings a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God: Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them, I Myself will defend as My own glory, during their lifetime, and especially at the hour of their death, those souls who will venerate My fathomless mercy.      (1225)


 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


MARCH 23 - RENOUNCE THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE HURTING YOU

During Lent of 1990 Our Lady spoke of attachments:

"Dear Children, I invite you to surrender to God. In this season of Lent, I ask you to especially renounce those things to which your are attached but which are hurting you and your spiritual life. Therefore, little children, decide completely for God, and do not allow Satan into your life through those things that hurt both you and your spiritual life.

Little Children, God is offering himself totally to you, but you can discover and recognize him only in prayer. Therefore, make a decision for prayer! (Monthly Message Feb. 25, 1990).

St. Paul also warns of worldly attachments:

Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of them, and now I tell you even with tears. Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ (Phil 3:17-20).

Reflection:

St. Paul criticizes the self-indulgent Christians of his day, for although they claim allegiance to Christ, they ignore his model of servanthood and sacrifice.

They seem to satisfy their own desires even before thinking about the needs of others; to their detriment, they are "set upon the things of this world."

Our Lady of Medjugorje points to the same danger:«I ask you to especially renounce," she says, "those things to which you are attached, but which are hurting you and your spiritual life."

Application:

Today, take the time to identify those attachments or addictions that hurt your spiritually. They could include alcohol, drugs, shopping, television, status seeking, power games, manipulation of others, and materialism in many forms. After you identify your own harmful attachments, isolate one and consciously work on moderating or even eliminating it for one week. At the same time, pray to the Blessed Mother for the special grace you will need; she will generously provide it.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 22 - I have been appealing for renewal

 

 

"We all have in him [St. Joseph] a model and a protector.  As adorers of the Sacramental Jesus, we continue near the Blessed Sacrament his service, his adoration and his love.  He will watch over us and give us his spirit and virtues.  Leading us to Jesus, he will say to Him: 'I cannot be on earth any longer to watch over You and serve You, but bless these adorers who are replacing me; give them the graces You gave me, so that their service may recall and replace mine.'  How happy St. Joseph is to see us crowding about Jesus in His Sacrament, feeble, abandoned, persecuted, more in need of defenders and servants than in His Infancy . . . .  Saint Joseph, be my protector, my model, and my father in my service of Jesus Eucharistic"  (St. Peter Julian Eymard).     

 



"Our Eucharistic faith tells us that Christ the King is himself here present, the tabernacle serving equivalently as his throne of grace.  In this context, then, we may aptly apply the inspired and inspiring words: 'Let us come boldly before the throne of grace, to meet with mercy and win that grace which will help us in our needs'" (Heb. 4:16).  (Fr. Richard  Foley, S.J.)




Mother Teresa -

Our ideal is no one but Jesus.
We must think as He thinks,
love as He loves,
wish as He wishes;
we must permit Him to use us to the full.

 


Meditations by Padre Pio -

True servants of God have always preferred adversity as being more in conformity with the way taken by our Head, Who worked out our salvation by means of the cross and humiliations (Epist. IV, p. 148).


 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The empty soul feeds Satan's needs

"Whence came the millions to accept the superstition of Nazism, Fascism, and Communism if it were not from an emptiness of soul brought about by a loss of faith? The essence of political superstition is the identification of the laboring class and Messianism."


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

 

Sixth Day

Today bring to me the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who would keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is able to receive My grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence.      (1220)

Most Merciful Jesus, You yourself have said, "Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart." Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy and they are the heavenly Father's favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy.       (1221)

      A truly gentle and humble soul
      Already here on earth the air of paradise breathes,
      And in the fragrance of her humble heart
      The Creator Himself delights.       (1222)

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls, and upon the souls of little children who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight You take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.       (1223)


 

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 22  -  I HAVE BEEN APPEALING FOR RENEWAL

The Madonna is firm in her call to Lenten renewal and prayer :

" Dear Children, day after day I have been appealing to you for renewal and prayer in the parish, but you are not responding. Today I am calling you for the last time. This is the season of Lent, and you as a parish should out of love, be moved to live my messages. If you do not, I do not wish to continue giving them. God is permitting me that. Thank you for responding to my call." Weekly Message Feb. 21, 1985

Psalm 38 is a repentant call to God :

For I am ready to fall, And my pain is ever with me. I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin.

Those who are my foes without cause are mighty. And many are those who hate me wrongfully.

Those who render me evil for good Are my adversaries because I follow after good. Do not forsake me, O Lord; O my God, do not be far from me; Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation. ---Psalm 38 ;17-22

Reflection :

Both Our Lady and the psalmist today call us to repentance, to acknowledge our sin, neglect, or indifference in the sight of God.

Because we have a tendency to sin or to be spiritually lethargic, repentance is the true measure of spiritual sensitivity. It means asking the Lord to forgive us and then abandoning our sinful or lethargic ways. But we cannot do this sincerely unless we are truly sorry for our misdeeds and then commit ourselves to positive action.

This is the Virgin's wish today, that we take to heart her call to renewal and prayer. It is a serious matter for all of us.

Application :

Review your spiritual life today. Has Lent been a time of prayer and renewal for you? If not, make a fresh start today.

Ezekiel
Chapter 7

1

Thus the word of the LORD came to me:

2

Son of man, now say: Thus says the Lord GOD to the
land of Israel: An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land!

3

Now the end is upon you; I will unleash my anger against you and judge you according to your conduct and lay upon you the consequences of all your abominations.

4

I will not look upon you with pity nor have mercy; I will bring your conduct down upon you, and the consequences of your abominations shall be in your midst; then shall you know that I am the LORD.

5

Thus says the Lord GOD: Disaster upon disaster! See it coming!

6

An end is coming, the end is coming upon you! See it coming!

7

The climax has come for you who dwell in the land! The time has come, near is the day: a time of consternation, not of rejoicing.

8

Soon now I will pour out my fury upon you and spend my anger upon you; I will judge you according to your conduct and lay upon you the consequences of all your abominations.

9

I will not look upon you with pity nor have mercy; I will deal with you according to your conduct, and the consequences of your abominations shall be in your midst; then shall you know that it is I, the LORD, who strike.

10

See, the day of the LORD! See, the end is coming! Lawlessness is in full bloom, insolence flourishes,

11

violence has risen to support wickedness. It shall not be long in coming, nor shall it delay.

12

1 The time has come, the day dawns. Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller mourn, for wrath shall be upon all the throng.

13

The seller shall not regain what he sold as long as he lives, for wrath shall be upon all the throng. Because of his sins, no one shall preserve his life.

14

They shall sound the trumpet and make everything ready, yet no one shall go to war, for my wrath is upon all the throng.

15

The sword is outside; pestilence and hunger are within. He that is in the country shall die by the sword; pestilence and famine shall devour those in the city.

16

Even those who escape and flee to the mountains like the doves of the valleys--I will put them all to death, each one for his own sins.

17

All their hands shall be limp, and all their knees shall run with water.

18

2 They shall put on sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; shame shall be on all their faces and baldness on all their heads.

19

They shall fling their silver into the streets, and their gold shall be considered refuse. Their silver and gold cannot save them on the day of the LORD'S wrath. They shall not be allowed to satisfy their craving or fill their bellies, for this has been the occasion of their sin.

20

In the beauty of their ornaments they put their pride: they made of them their abominable images (their idols). For this reason I make them refuse.

21

I will hand them over as booty to foreigners, to be spoiled and defiled by the wicked of the earth.

22

3 I will turn away my face from them, and my treasure shall be profaned: robbers shall enter and profane it.

23

They shall wreak slaughter, for the land is filled with bloodshed and the city full of violence.

24

I will bring in the worst of the nations, who shall take possession of their houses. I will put an end to their proud strength, and their sanctuaries shall be profaned.

25

When anguish comes they shall seek peace, but there will be none.

26

There shall be disaster after disaster, rumor after rumor. Prophetic vision shall fade; instruction shall be lacking to the priest, and counsel to the elders,

27

while the prince shall be enveloped in terror, and the hands of the common people shall tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and according to their judgments I will judge them; thus they shall know that I am the LORD.

Propechy Meditations
Topic: Prophecy Meditation


Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 19, 2008
 
Come home with Me
 
Reading: Isaiah 52:13  53:12
 
Dear friends,
 
The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised. Luke 9:22
 
As usual I was in contemplative prayer early this morning. Jesus, our Suffering Saviour, said, Melvin, My brother and companion, I love you and I died for you and for all My brothers and sisters throughout the world.

I accepted to suffer and die at the hands of the Roman soldiers, having been condemned by the Jewish authorities of My day to die on the cross. My people had turned against Me as they could not accept that I was the Messiah, the Son of God. In their rejection of their Saviour, I was able to redeem them and all the people of the world from all their sins.
 
Today many people think that there is no such thing as sin. They do not see the offenses they commit against their Creator who provides for all their needs. They have rejected the commandments given to Moses on Mount Sinai by the Father of all of you.

 

If you are His son or daughter, you will follow these commandments and you will live in peace with Him. I came to convict the world of sin and to repair the breach between the Father and you. Open your eyes and see the malice of sin and how horrible sin is. It almost destroyed the world at the beginning and it is bringing this world to ruin if you do not repent and return to your Father.
 
I showed you how terrible sin is by My great suffering and death on the cross. Sin is like a murderer stabbing God who loves him. By sin you reject and insult your Father who gave you life and who created the whole world for you. Even in your sin, the Father pursues you and gives you the grace you need to repent and come back to Him.

 

Never reject this gift offered to you out of love but respond quickly and repent and He will take all your sins away and reinstate you as His beloved son or daughter. Give joy to your Father today by being sorry for your sins and telling Him that you love Him. My Passion continues every day for your salvation. Come home with Me for I love you.
 
Father Melvin

Marsc 16, 2008, message:
 
I see a great Flame that I understand represents the Heart of God the Father. I hear a voice say: I am the Eternal Now Creator of Heaven and earth.
 
I have come to remonstrate mankind, for I tell you, never before has the heart of mankind been led so far astray. Hypocrisy is the norm in church and world leaders. Whole religions have embraced debauchery, violence and hatred. The fruit these bear is eternal perdition.
 
Yet, I have sent My Son into the world to give you life-yielding Messages of truth here on this Site. You now know the direct path to My Paternal Heart, to the Light of the Spirit, the Divine Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary.

 

All of these come gift wrapped to you in My Divine Will. Herein is the path of salvation, holiness, sanctification and world peace. Are you listening?
 
Do not wait for compromised hearts to tell you it is okay to believe. Open your hearts. Listen to these Messages with your own hearts. Do not fear anyone's disapproval. Fear your own disbelief, which ultimately reverses your journey in holiness.
 
Give Me your heart first. Then I will help you to bring Me many more hearts.
 
I, your Father, love you.

Message From the Father Thru Lec- March 20, 2008

Message From the Father March 20, 2008
6:20 AM

Son, the passion, death and resurrection of my Son Jesus is the centerpiece of our memorial celebration on these days. I sent Him to redeem mankind from heir sins and the enslavement of their bodies to the sinful nature brought bout by the fall of man due to disobedience. With his death, those who follow im must also die to themselves, to their sinful tendency and this can only be ossible thru the dispensation of my graces acquired and bestowed on people who cknowledge my Son's one time, great sacrifice.

 

Acknowledgement means epentance of sin and making a vow not to commit the same sins anymore, therwise, repentance is not complete. Only thru this means can people walk the ath that leads straight to my Kingdom.


Daily renewal of the spirit thru a disciplined examination of conscience is a
must for everyone who desires to meet me in the tabernacle within their hearts.


I knock at people's hearts and if they open the door to let me in, I will come
and take my dwelling there to be their constant companion for the rest of their
lives until such time that they will see with their eyes whom they have harbored
in their inner being.

Go in peace!

5th Marian Dogma Nothing New

Interview With Puerto Rico's Cardinal Aponte

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, MARCH 18, 2008 (Zenit.org).- By declaring Mary the
Spiritual Mother of All Humanity, Benedict XVI wouldn't be saying anything new
about her, only clarifying her role in salvation, says Cardinal Luis Aponte
Mart�nez.

The retired archbishop of San Juan is one of the five cardinal co-sponsors of
the 2005 International Symposium on Marian Co-redemption, held in Fatima, that
are asking Benedict XVI to declare a fifth Marian dogma.

The petition urges the Pope to proclaim Mary "the Spiritual Mother of All
Humanity, the co-redemptrix with Jesus the redeemer, mediatrix of all graces
with Jesus the one mediator, and advocate with Jesus Christ on behalf of the
human race."

In this interview with ZENIT, Cardinal Aponte discusses his views in favor of
the proposed dogma.

Q: Your Eminence, what has led you to take a leadership role in the present
petition to Benedict XVI for this new Marian dogma?

Cardinal Aponte: Our Lady has always been a source of particular strength and
the object of particular love for me. These roles of the Blessed Virgin as our
spiritual mother have always been part of our Catholic tradition. For Latin
American Catholics, it is all contained in her manifestation as Our Lady of
Guadalupe who shows herself as a merciful mother, ready to intercede for us in
our gravest needs, and to use her maternal intercession to bring us closer to
Jesus.

I first spoke of the importance of this dogma to my brother cardinals in the
presence of Pope John Paul II in Rome in 2002. There I related this Marian
proclamation to the Church?s new evangelization. As the first great
evangelization of Latin America was led by Our Lady of Guadalupe, so should the
Mother of Christ be invoked to lead this new evangelization of the third
millennium.

The solemn definition of her motherly roles as co-redemptrix, mediatrix, and
advocate will simply release Our Lady all the more to perform these motherly
functions of intercession for our age for the maximum effectiveness in leading a
new evangelization.

There are new times for the world and the Church. Just imagine how much Our Lady
can help us in the new evangelization and with other elements of difficulty and
crisis in our present age if we solemnly acknowledge her in these God-given
roles of intercession for humanity.

Q: How would you respond to the objection that the Church doesn?t need a new
teaching on Mary at this time?

Cardinal Aponte: There is nothing new in this teaching. It is actually very
ancient. It is important to keep in mind that this truth is already an official
doctrine of the Church regarding Mary as taught at the Second Vatican Council --
"Lumen Gentium," Nos. 57, 58, 61, 62 -- and has been the consistent teaching of
the papal magisterium for centuries.

John Paul II called Mary the ?co-redemptrix? six times during his pontificate.
The role is always understood in complete dependency to Jesus and as a human
participant with the redeemer in the work of salvation.

When Blessed Pope Pius IX proclaimed the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception
as a dogma in 1854, he explained that a dogmatic statement would add greater
light and appreciation of the doctrine, leading to its ?perfection.? That?s what
this definition would do for Our Lady?s spiritual motherhood -- add nothing new,
but provide greater appreciation, understanding, and clarity of the existing
truth.

Q: Do you think that these functions of co-redemptrix, mediatrix, and advocate
within her general role as our spiritual mother may be too difficult for the
common person to comprehend?

Cardinal Aponte: On the contrary, I think, for example, that the faithful in
Latin America both comprehend this Marian doctrine in their hearts and already
experience these maternal roles of Mary in their lives. Once again, Our Lady of
Guadalupe embodies these motherly roles in a dynamic way, as a mother who
suffered with Jesus for us, a mother who comes to nourish us with the graces of
Jesus, and a mother who intercedes for us in our needs. That?s co-redemptrix,
mediatrix, advocate.

John Paul II, in his brilliance, always spoke of Our Lady?s mediation in terms
of her motherhood, using the expression ?maternal mediation.? What is more
common and understandable than a mother who suffers, nourishes, and pleads for
her people? That?s what Our Lady does for us as a spiritual mother. It is really
quite simple and already part of the daily experience of the Catholic faithful.
What may be challenging to some of the learned has already been revealed to the
little ones and accepted within the Church.

Q: The principal objection to this new Marian dogma seems to be ecumenism. Would
this papal definition hurt the Church?s critically important mission of
ecumenism in your view?

Cardinal Aponte: Mothers by their very natures and vocations are unifiers of
families. So, too, with the Mother of Jesus within the family of Jesus. The
Church?s mission of ecumenism is extremely important, but by leaving the Mother
out, we only impede our own progress toward eventual Christian unity in the one
body of Christ.

John Paul II made it clear in his encyclical on ecumenism, "Ut Unum Sint," that
authentic Catholic ecumenical activity could never include either compromise of
Catholic doctrine or impede proper doctrinal development, and this includes the
doctrine regarding Mary.

A solemn definition regarding Our Lady?s spiritual maternity would actually be a
giant step forward in ecumenism, as it would clearly distinguish what the Church
definitively teaches -- that Mary is not a goddess, that Catholics don?t place
Mary on a level of equality with Jesus her divine son, and that Mary as a human
participated in the historic act of redemption in a way absolutely and
completely dependent on Jesus. This would clear up a myriad of misunderstandings
amidst our non-Catholic Christian brothers and sisters, leading to greater
dialogue and unity regarding Jesus? mother and within his body. This is true
ecumenism from a Catholic perspective.

At the time preceding the definition of the Assumption in 1950, the same
objections regarding ecumenism were raised to Pius XII. After the definition,
the Church experienced its greatest progress to date in ecumenism leading up to
the second Vatican council.

Mary is the Mother of the ecumenical movement, the Mother of unity, not is
obstacle. Let us give her the opportunity to unite us in ways only a mother can
by openly and proudly declaring her maternal roles of intercession for us. Just
think of how powerfully she could help us in the mission of Christian unity if
we solemnly invite her to intercede for this goal.

Divine Mercy Novena


Jesus further asked that this Feast of the Divine Mercy be preceded by a Novena of Chaplets to the Divine Mercy which would begin on Good Friday.  Say one chaplet each day following the novena intention. In her diary, St. Faustina wrote that Jesus told her:

"On each day of the novena you will bring to My Heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy... On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls. By this novena I will grant every possible grace to souls." (Diary 1209, 796)

Click Here to Recite the Chaplet Meditating on Our Lord's Wounds.

First Day
"Today bring to Me All Mankind, especially all sinners and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me."

Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins, but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit. 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen.

Second Day
"Today bring to Me the Souls of Priests and Religious and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them as through channels My mercy flows out upon mankind."

Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that they may perform worthy works of mercy, and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven. 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyard - upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation, and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.

Third Day
"Today bring to Me All Devout and Faithful Souls and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. These souls brought Me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness."

Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in the great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.

Eternal Father, turn Your Merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Fourth Day
"Today bring to Me Those Who Do Not Believe In God and Those Who Do Not Yet Know Me. I was thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted My heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy."

Most Compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who do not believe in God and of those who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your  wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which  is Your Most Compassionate Heart.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who do not believe in You, and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart  of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not  know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too,  may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Fifth Day
"Today bring to Me the Souls of those who have separated themselves from My Church and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter Passion they tore at My Body and Heart, that is My Church. As they return to unity with the Church My wounds heal and in this way they alleviate My Passion."

Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy. 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Son's Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your Own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Sixth Day
"Today bring to Me The Meek and Humble Souls and the Souls of  Little Children and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels who will keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble soul is capable of receiving My grace I favor humble souls with My confidence."

Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said, "Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart." Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy, and they are the heavenly Father's favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy. 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls and upon little children, who are enfolded in the abode of the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight you take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.

Seventh Day
"Today bring to Me The Souls Who Especially Venerate and Glorify My Mercy and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my Passion and entered most deeply into My spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death."

Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your Mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident in Your Mercy; and united to You, O Jesus, they carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life. 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy and their hearts, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God: Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them that during their life, but especially at the hour of death, the souls who will venerate this fathomless mercy of His, He Himself, will defend as His glory. Amen.

Eighth Day
"Today bring to Me The Souls Who Are Detained in Purgatory and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only know the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice."

Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of Purgatory, that there, too, the power of Your mercy may be celebrated. 

Eternal Father, turn Your most merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded, manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen.

Ninth Day
"Today bring to Me The Souls Who Have Become Lukewarm and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: 'Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.' For them the last hope of salvation is to run to My mercy."

Most Compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love let these tepid souls, who, like
corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love; and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power. 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy. Amen

1. Begin with the Sign of the Cross, 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary and The Apostles Creed.

2. Then on the Our Father Beads say the following:
Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

3. On the 10 Hail Mary Beads say the following:
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

(Repeat step 2 and 3 for all five decades).

4. Conclude with (three times):
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

 

 

In 1933, God gave Sister Faustina a striking vision of His Mercy,
Sister tells us:

"I saw a great light, with God the Father in the midst of it.
Between this light and the earth I saw Jesus nailed to the Cross
and in such a way that God, wanting to look upon the earth, had to
look through Our Lord's wounds and I understood that God blessed
the earth for the sake of Jesus."

Of another vision on Sept. 13, 1935, she writes:

"I saw an Angel, the executor of God's wrath... about to strike
the earth...I began to beg God earnestly for the world with words
which I heard interiorly. As I prayed in this way, I saw the
Angel's helplessness, and he could not carry out the just
punishment...."

The following day an inner voice taught her to say this prayer on
ordinary rosary beads:

"First say one 'Our Father', 'Hail Mary', and 'I believe'. Then on
the large beads say the following words:

'Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity
of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement
for our sins and those of the whole world.'

On the smaller beads you are to say the following words:

'For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the
whole world.'

In conclusion you are to say these words three times:

'Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us
and on the whole world'.

Jesus said later to Sister Faustina:

"Say unceasingly this chaplet that I have taught you. Anyone who
says it will receive great Mercy at the hour of death. Priests
will recommend it to sinners as the last hope. Even the most
hardened sinner, if he recites this Chaplet even once, will
receive grace from My Infinite Mercy. I want the whole world to
know My Infinite Mercy. I want to give unimaginable graces to
those who trust in My Mercy...."

"....When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I
will stand between My Father and the dying person not as the just
judge but as the Merciful Savior".

with
Our Lady of Emmitsburg

Holy Thursday - The institution of the Most Holy Eucharist. What does this mean for humanity?

You do not know the great gift that Jesus my Son has left for you in the Most Holy Eucharist." (OLOE, June 13, 2004 - Full Text...)

Good Friday - What did Our Lady feel?

When my Son died on the Cross, my heart was torn from Him, and I was in shock. There was complete emptiness in me. I was numb. When I received my Son in my arms, all my emotion poured out; then there was nothing left in me. I wanted to die with Him. In my heart, I did; but I had to remain on this earth for you."

Fr. Melvin Doucette Messages

March 18, 2008

 

“I am your Brother who loves you at every moment”

 

Reading: Mark 16:14-18

 

Dear friends,

 

“Jesus said to them in reply, ‘Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to seize me? Day after day I was with you teaching in the temple area, yet you did not arrest me; but that the scriptures may be fulfilled.” Mark 14:48-49

 

David Little from New Brunswick will give a talk at St. Simon and St. Jude Church, Tignish, PEI, on March 31 after the 7:00 p.m. Mass.

 

He will share his experience concerning pro-life. He has been one of the most active Catholics in Canada to save the unborn and to oppose abortion. All are welcome to attend.

 

My time of prayer this morning was spent with Jesus, our Suffering Lord. He said, “Melvin, My brother and sharer in My priesthood, I love you and all My brothers and sisters living in all the countries of the world. I call you all to sit with Me as I speak to you today.

 

We are in Holy Week, the week I offered My supreme sacrifice for your salvation. When the soldiers with Judas came to arrest Me in the Garden of Gethsemane, I knew that I would be badly treated because My hour had come.

 

 This hour of suffering would be lived for you all until the end of time. I also knew that My sacrifice would be an eternal sacrifice. It would be present forever in this world. It does not make any difference where you live in the world; you are always very close to Me.

 

My supreme sacrifice on the cross has become the center of history and all who believe in Me look back to this Good Friday. The world started anew with My birth and this is shown by the fact that this year is 2008.

 

It has been about 2008 years since I was born in the world. Remember there is only one Redeemer and I am the one.

 

Since My death and resurrection, there has been a battle raging in the world. The battle is between those who believe in Me and accept Me as their Saviour and those who reject Me and refuse to believe in Me.

 

My followers are weakened because of their divisions. Pray that these divisions may end soon so that My Church may bring the whole population of the world to accept Me as their Redeemer.

 

I desire the salvation of all the people of the world. Work with Me, My brothers and sisters, to accomplish this great miracle. I am your Brother who loves you at every moment.”

 

Father Melvin

 

Message to Fr. Melvin Doucette March 17, 2008

 

I bless you all

 

Reading: Luke 4:22 and 9:35

 

Dear friends,

 

Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done. Luke 22:42

 

 

There was a man from Nova Scotia who had attended the retreat about two years ago and he had been healed at that retreat.

 

At that time he had difficulty walking so he had to use a cane. After the retreat he threw away his cane and never used it again.

 

The retreat ended yesterday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. in the prayer room of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. The people who attended were pleased and filled with joy when they left to go home.

 

My time of prayer this morning was spent with our Heavenly Father. He spoke to me in these words, Melvin, My son and Jesus' friend, I love you.

 

 Know that Jesus, My Son, died for all of you, My sons and daughters, because He loves you. I love you all because you are My children.

 

Jesus and I have always been very close. He is My only begotten Son from all eternity. When He suffered His passion and died on the cross, I was filled with great sorrow because of My great love for Him.

 

Jesus freely agreed to suffer and die for you in this terrible pain. He did all this out of love for you and to redeem you from all your sins. A new and wonderful era opened up for the world.

 

Now the despair and darkness of sin could change into the joy and light coming from Jesus at His resurrection. All you need to do is to believe in Jesus as your Saviour and to follow Him.

 

Have you made your commitment to Jesus, My Son? Have you repented of all your sins and asked for forgiveness? Have you put on the mind of My Son and discarded the secular mind of society?

 

Unfortunately, many have not yet made their commitment to My Son Jesus and they are still in darkness. I am your Father who created you all, including everything that is in the world, and I call you today to open your heart to Jesus, your Friend and your Redeemer.

 

I give you the gift of faith; accept it and live only for Jesus who is with Me, His Father and your Father, and with the Holy Spirit. If you believe in Him, then you also believe in Me.

 

The time is short, My children; do not delay but act now. I am waiting for your return today to receive you in My arms and to embrace you.  I bless you all.

 

Father Melvin

My children I love you. I plead with you to listen to my son, Jesus. Remain sober and alert. Keep watch and pray.

 

Dear children do not succumb to the darkness that surrounds you. Choose Light and live.

 

My dear children you are called to be light, a light that dispels the darkness that envelops the world in which you live. Through a life lived with heroic virtue build a kingdom of light, the Kingdom of God. Be attentive to the Morning Star that rises to announce the dawn of the Day of God.

 

Please remember Father Richard in your prayers. He is very ill at this time.

 "The Way of the Cross is thus a path leading to the heart of the Eucharistic mystery: popular piety and sacramental piety of the Church blend together and become one" (Pope Benedict XVI).

 

 

 

"The swaddling clothes of an infant hid the Son of God in Bethlehem, and the appearance of bread and wine hides the Reality of Christ" (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen).

Pope John Paul II -

 

Cardinal Schoenborn - "Almost all the candidates [in Vienna's Seminary] have received their call to the priesthood through Medjugorje!" p 20

 

Mother Teresa -

 

Believe in Jesus trust in Him with blind and absolute confidence because He is Jesus. Believe that Jesus and Jesus alone is life and sanctity is nothing but that same Jesus intimately living in you; then His hand will be free with you.

Give yourself unswervingly, conforming yourself in all things to His holy will.

 

 

Love Jesus generously.

Love Him trustfully, without looking back and without fear. Give yourself fully to Jesus.

 

He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your weakness.

0Meditations by Padre Pio -

 

Yes, I love the Cross, the Cross alone; I love it because I see it always on Jesus' shoulders (Letters I, p. 377).

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

 

We have our divine priorities askew

 

"At the end of the twentieth century [and now in the 21st] we find ourselves living in an era of superstition in which minds believe everything as fanatics and quacks become shrines of worship and objects of adoration."

 

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

 

There is a series of graces which God pours into the soul after these trials by fire. The soul enjoys intimate union with God. It has many visions, both corporeal and intellectual. It hears many supernatural words, and sometimes distinct orders. But despite these graces, it is not self-sufficient.

 

 In fact it is even less so as a result of God's graces, because it is now open to many dangers and can easily fall prey to illusions.

 

It ought to ask God for a spiritual director; but not only must it pray for one, it must also make every effort to find a leader who is an expert in these things, just as a military leader must know the ways along which he will lead [his followers] into battle. A soul that is united with God must be prepared for great and hard-fought battles.

 

After these purifications and tears, God abides in the soul in a special way, but the soul does not always cooperate with these graces.

 

Not that the soul itself is not willing to work, but it encounters so many interior and exterior difficulties that it really takes a miracle to sustain the soul on these summits. In this, it absolutely needs a director. People have often sown doubt in my soul, and I myself have sometimes become frightened at the thought that I was, after all, an ignorant person and did not have knowledge of many things, above all, spiritual things.

 

But when my doubts increased, I sought light from my confessor or my superiors. Yet I did not obtain what I desired.       (121)

Mar 21  -  GIVE UP SOMETHING DEAR

 

The Blessed Mother speaks of sacrifice today :

 

"Thursday (day of the Eucharist), may each one find his way to fast; he who smokes, may abstain from smoking; he who drinks alcohol, have him not drink.

 

Have each one  to him. May these recommendations be conveyed to the parish." Special Message Mar 1, 1984

 

From the prophet Isaiah :

Seek the Lord while he may be found, Call upon him while he is near;

 

Let the wicked forsake their way, And the unrighteous their thoughts; Let them return to the Lord, that he may have Mercy on them, And to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. ---Isaiah 55 :6-7

 

Reflection :

 

The concept of sacrifice and repentance reaches far back into the Old Testament. In the ancient rites of animal sacrifice, a person who had sinned brought an unblemished animal to the Temple priest. The individual then placed his hand on the head of the animal while it was killed, symbolizing his identification with the animal as his substitute.

 

 He symbolically transferred his sins to the animal, and thus his sins were taken away (atonement). Finally the animal was burned on the altar, signifying the person's complete dedication to God.

 

But the Lord required more than a sacrifice. He also asked the sinner to be truly repentant of his sins. The outward symbol (the sacrifice) and the inner change (repentance) were to work together in seeking the forgiveness of God.

 

In our own day, sacrifices such as Our Lady recommends (foregoing alcohol, television, smoking, etc.) also serve as outward signs of repentance, but they also speak of dedication and reverence for the Lord, for they involve the whole person, soul and body, Words of love are easy, but backing them up with sacrifice adds creditability and power to our prayer.

 

Acts of self-denial also keep us focused on the Lord and help build character, in that we learn not to jump at every stray impulse. Involved here are some forgotten truths, brought to light again by the Blessed Virgin.

 

Application :

Our Lady is very specific in her message today. Let us simply heed her advice.

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 20 - Pray before the crucifix      

 

St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, Spouse of the Bl.

Virgin Mary:

"We all have in him [St. Joseph] a model and a protector.  As adorers of the Sacramental Jesus, we continue near the Blessed Sacrament his service, his adoration and his love.  He will watch over us and give us his spirit and virtues.

 

 Leading us to Jesus, he will say to Him: 'I cannot be on earth any longer to watch over You and serve You, but bless these adorers who are replacing me; give them the graces You gave me, so that their service may recall and replace mine.' 

 

How happy St. Joseph is to see us crowding about Jesus in His Sacrament, feeble, abandoned, persecuted, more in need of defenders and servants than in His Infancy . . . .  Saint Joseph, be my protector, my model, and my father in my service of Jesus Eucharistic"  (St. Peter Julian Eymard).

 

 

"Jesus seems continually to exclaim from the altar: Come to me, all you who work hard and who carry heavy burdens and I will refresh you (Matthew 11:28).

 

 

Come, He says, come you who are poor; come, you who are infirm; come, you who are afflicted; come, you who are just and you who are sinners, and you shall find in me a remedy for all your losses and afflictions. 

 

This is the desire of Jesus Christ: to console every person who calls upon Him" (St. Alphonsus Liguori).

 

 

 

"O Jesus of the Eucharist!  O consecrated Host!  O envied Monstrance!  O blessed Ciborium, beloved of my heart!  The Tabernacle is my Treasure and, far or near, my eyes never lose sight of it, for it contains the God of Love" (Concepcion Cabrera de Armida).

 

The Cross is that solid wood that preserves and maintains always enkindled the fire of Charity.

Pope John Paul II -

 

 

Mother Teresa -

 

To be able to do all these, pray lovingly like children, with an earnest desire to love much and make loved the Love that is not loved.

 Food without substance, is worth nothing. They swell the stomach. So are works without an internal spirit and without the right intention.

 

Emptied of Divine Substance, they are worth nothing and serve only to inflate the person, who receives more harm than good.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

 

Keep strongly and constantly united to God, consecrating all your affections, torments, and your entire self to Him, patiently awaiting the return of that beautiful sun, whenever the Spouse is pleased to visit you through trials of aridity, desolation and darkness of spirit (Letters III, p. 674.)

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

 

No mystery as to why we have missed the Mystery

 

"When minds abandon their concern about final destiny, they substitute for the mystery of what happens after death, the mystery of how someone was murdered. But mystery there must be."

 

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

Novena - http://www.marian.org/divinemercy/novena.html

 

 

THIRD DAY

 

"Today bring to Me ALL DEVOUT AND FAITHFUL SOULS, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. These souls brought Me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness."

 

Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It.

 

We beg this grace of You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.

 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection.

 

 Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.

 

 

FOURTH DAY

 

"Today bring to Me THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD* AND THOSE WHO DO NOT YET KNOW ME. I was thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted My Heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy."

 

Most compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who do not believe in God and of those who as yet do not know You.

 

Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate Heart.

 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who do not believe in You, and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus.

 

Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages.

 

Amen.

 

*Our Lord's original words here were "the pagans." Since the pontificate of Pope John XXIII, the Church has seen fit to replace this term with clearer and more appropriate terminology.

 

 

FIFTH DAY

 

"Today bring to Me THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SEPARATED THEMSELVES FROM MY CHURCH,* and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy.

 

During My bitter Passion they tore at My Body and Heart, that is, My Church. As they return to unity with the Church, My wounds heal and in this way they alleviate My Passion."

 

Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself, You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Church.

 

Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to glorify the generosity of Your mercy.

 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of those who have separated themselves from Your Son's Church, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors.

 

Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in His Most Compassionate Heart. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.

 

*Our Lord's original words here were "heretics and schismatics," since He spoke to Saint Faustina within the context of her times.

 

As of the Second Vatican Council, Church authorities have seen fit not to use those designations in accordance with the explanation given in the Council's Decree on Ecumenism (n.3). Every pope since the Council has reaffirmed that usage.

 

Saint Faustina herself, her heart always in harmony with the mind of the Church, most certainly would have agreed. When at one time, because of the decisions of her superiors and father confessor, she was not able to execute Our Lord's inspirations and orders, she declared:

 

"I will follow Your will insofar as You will permit me to do so through Your representative. O my Jesus " I give priority to the voice of the Church over the voice with which You speak to me" (497). The Lord confirmed her action and praised her for it.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 18 - Be thankful in front of the cross

 

"Among the graces which Jesus gave to His foster-father—and He flooded him with the graces attached to every one of His mysteries—is that special to an adorer of the Blessed Sacrament.

 

 That is the one we must ask of St. Joseph.

Have confidence, strong confidence in him.  Take him as the patron and the model of your life of adoration" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).

 

   "Christian piety has rejoiced to learn from the Book of Acts that Mary was present at the first gatherings of the faithful, when they broke bread together as brothers and spent long hours in prayer. 

 

And modern art has often portrayed the heavenly Mother in the act of receiving from the hand of St. John, the beloved disciple, the Communion of the Body and Blood of her Son . . . .  When we say that in the Eucharist we have the Son and in Mary we have his Mother, have we not said all?" (Bl. Pope John XXIII).

 

The Cross is the food of Hope.

 

Mother Teresa -

 

Am I convinced of Christ's love for me and mine for Him? This conviction is like sunlight which makes the sap of life rise and the buds of sanctity bloom. This conviction is the rock on which sanctity is built.

 

 

What must we do to get this conviction?

 

 

We must know Jesus, love Jesus, serve Jesus.

I must not attempt to control God's actions; I must not count the stages in the journey He would have me make. I ask Him to make a saint of me, yet I must leave to Him the choice of that saintliness itself and still more the choice of the means which lead to it.

 

 Everything of you should be sweetness and peace

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

 

If you suffer with resignation in doing His will, you do not offend Him but love Him. And your heart will find great comfort in remembering that in your hour of pain Jesus Himself suffers in you and for you.

 He did not abandon you when you fled from Him; why should He abandon you now that you are proving your love for Him by the martyrdom of your soul? (GF, 174).

 
Archbishop Fulton Sheen

 
America is spoiled because she expects too much!

 
"The discontent is far greater among the over-privileged than the underprivileged. The rich need the psychoanalysts more than the poor.

 

Few European minds cracked under two wars. Many American minds have. The first learned not to expect anything. This lesson America has yet to learn."

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

 

Second Day

 
Today bring to me the souls of priests and religious, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy.

It was they who gave Me the strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them, as through channels, My mercy flows out upon mankind.       (1212)

 

Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that we may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.

 

     The fountain of God's love

     Dwells in pure hearts,

     Bathed in the Sea of Mercy

     Radiant as stars, bright as the dawn.

 

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company [of chosen ones] in Your vineyard-upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing.

 

For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.      (1213)

 

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


Mar 18 - BE THANKFUL IN FRONT OF THE CROSS

 

Our Lady reminds us of her message of March 13th, and speaks of gratitude:

 

"Dear Children, remember the four things you have to do during Lent. Tonight when you go home, I ask you to be thankful in front of the cross for all that you fell you should be grateful for; thank Jesus for what you have. My Son will hear you (Visionary Prayer Group February 13, 1989).

 

Second Corinthians also speaks of gratitude:

 

Yes, everything is for your sake, so that grace, as it extends to more and more people, may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God (2 Cor 4:15)

 

Reflection:

 

The Virgin speaks many times of gratitude in her messages, for it is a form of love of God. Poets and writers have searched for words beautiful enough to express their thanks for such great gifts, but none have succeeded so well as St. Francis of Assisi. May his Canticle of the Sun be our own hymn of thanksgiving today:

 

O most high, almighty Lord God, To You belong praise, glory, honor and all Blessings.

Praise to my Lord God with all his creatures, And especially our brother the sun, who brings Us the day and who brings us the light; Fair is he who shines with such great splendor;

 

O Lord, he signifies You to us! Praise to my Lord for our sister the moon and For the stars. Which he has set clear and lovely in heaven. Praise to my Lord for all those who pardon One another for his love' s sake, And who endure weakness and tribulation; Blessed are they who peaceably shall endure;

 

For You, O God, shall give them a crown! Praise to my Lord for our sister, the death Of the body from which no man escapes. Woe to him who dies in mortal sin!

 

Blessed are they who are found walking in Your most holy will, For the second death shall have no power To do them harm. Praise and bless the Lord and give him thanks, And serve him with great humility.

Application:

Offer one decade of your rosary today simply in thanksgiving to God For all his gifts. In addition, review Our Lady's message of March 13th, as she has requested today.

The Cross is the torch of working Faith.


Pope John Paul II -

On April 2, 1986 reported by Fr. Ivan Dugandzic, OFM, during a meeting with the Holy Father. The Holy Father told him that he follows the events continuously. "You can tell everyone that each day I pray for a happy conclusion to these events." http://www.medjugorje.org/pope.htm


Mother Teresa -

Trust in the good God who loves us, who cares for us, who sees all, knows all, can do all things for my good and the good of souls. One thing Jesus asks of me: that I lean upon Him; that in Him alone I put complete trust; that I surrender myself to Him unreservedly. Love Jesus with a big heart.
Serve Jesus with joy and gladness of spirit, casting aside and forgetting all that troubles and worries you.


If you peal back the veil of humanity, you should see the Divinity


Meditations by Padre Pio -

Let us not spare ourselves on our ascent to Calvary for love He Who sacrificed Himself for love of us and let us patient, certain of our flight for Tabor (ASN, 42).


 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

Think about what has filled our void today!

"An age without faith is an age of superstition. Religious belief is so essential to the heart that once it is cast aside, some false form is called in to fill the void. Unless the house is tenanted with goodness, seven devils worse than the first come in to dwell there."


 

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 19 - ST. JOSEPH, HUSBAND OF MARY

As St. Joseph is the patron of workers, it is appropriate today that we hear Our Lady's special message on this topic:

"Dear Children, always pray before your work and end it with prayer. If you do that, God will bless you and your work. These last days, you have prayed little and worked very much. Pray more. In prayer, you will find rest (Weekly Message (July 5, 1984).

In his second letter to the Thessalonians, St. Paul also takes up the theme of work:

For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us; we were not idle when we were with you, and we did not eat anyone's bread without paying for it; but with toil and labor we worked night and day, so that we might not burden any of you. This was not because we do not have that right, but in order to give you an example to imitate. For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: Anyone unwilling to work should not eat (2 Thes 3:7-10)

Reflection:

Today we honor St. Joseph, the great guardian and protector of God's greatest treasures, namely, his divine Son, and Mary, our Mother. St. Bernadine of Siena, a Franciscan of the 15th century, once wrote, "In Joseph the Old Testament finds its fitting close.

He brought the noble line of patriarchs and prophets to its promised fulfillment. What God had offered as a promise to them, he held in his arms."

Joseph is also the patron saint of workers, which is the subject of our readings today, He taught the skills of carpentry to Jesus, who gave labor an intrinsic dignity. From the Vatican II document "The Church Today": "We hold that by offering his labor to God, a man becomes associated with the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, who conferred an eminent dignity on labor when, at Nazareth, he worked with his own hands." In the words of Kahlil Gibran, "work is love made visible"; today we celebrate this love in the person of St. Joseph.

Application:

In her message, Our Lady calls us to "always pray before your work, and end your work with prayer." Today let us do exactly that, beginning a practice that will hopefully evolve into a habit.

 

Teaching from Jesus through The Girl of my Will - 2003-06-11


Gathering of Love with God's Action in Saint Boniface, Manitoba, Canada
Through His Instrument, the Girl of My Will in Jesus


2003-06-11



Jesus: Children of my holy Will, you are in the presence of my action: I speak
in your hearts.

You are in me, you are in my Heart of love; I have gathered you all within me
tonight; enter within yourselves, be present with me; open your heart, I speak
in your heart.

I am Jesus of the Eucharist, I am the Presence.

You have received me within yourselves, I took you within me: life, it is you in
my Life.

Many children who come to Communion take me as being a God who is present: when
you are present, my children, it is because you are living.

I speak within you, listen to my voice, it speaks to you; do not do as the
children who think of other things as soon as they have taken me; they turn
their thought to what they are going to do after Mass: I, I want to meet with
you inside you.

Do you know, my children, that very often I search for who has received me, for
I find no one to keep me company?

I am telling you that I love you, that I want to live in your company.

Remain within me during the moment you have received me, tell me you love me; I,
I place graces of love within you to nourish your soul so that you might have a
nice day.

When your soul benefits from my graces, your life benefits from my graces; you
can work with more peace within yourselves, and when worries that rise up within
you, you are less tormented, for my graces have worked their benefits within
you.

But if you come to me without thinking about me, without telling me that you
love me, I, I am left with your graces that I would have loved to give you, but
you have already turned your back on me.

I beg you, stay with me a few moments, talk to me; let us talk about love
together, tell me that you want to give me your life, show me that you want my
graces.

My Father gave me everything, I want to give you everything.

You must learn to abandon yourselves, to give yourselves, as I give myself to
you; give me everything about yourselves with joy, with love.

I gave myself with love because I loved my Father and I loved you; when you give
yourselves to me, show me that you love me; appreciate what I want to give you:
graces of love, graces of abandonment in my Will of love: my Will is nothing but
gentleness.

I have so much love within me for you!

When I, Jesus of love, I give you my graces of love, it is to transform you into
children of love; I want you to be nothing but love, and your life will be
transformed by my surges of love; then, you will learn to trust in me, you will
trust that by abandoning yourselves in me, doubts will disappear, the fear of
not knowing how this will happen will disappear from within you, my children of
love.



Think of a child who goes to his father; he asks him for help to build his
house; he knows that because of his request his father will respond, but as soon
as his father's answer is given to him, he begins to build his house right away
without listening to his father's advice because he is in too much of a hurry.

He wants to do certain things himself because he is too afraid that they will
not be done as he wishes; then comes a time when he begins to doubt the success
of his project; he has not noticed that he has not trusted in his father; he has
not noticed that his own will took over.

His attitude caused doubt and fear to develop within him, and so he no longer
believes in the success of his project, for which he had requested his father's
advice in the first place.

My children, this is what you do when you ask me for something: you ask, but you
keep within yourselves the certainty that it will not be done as you wish, for
if you had been certain that if it would be done according to me: you would not
have left, with your will, to do your own will while thinking that your prayers
had not been answered.

You have not understood that it is you, my children, who have begun to lose
faith. This is why, my children, I am asking you to develop abandonment within
yourselves.

You must abandon yourselves in me, Jesus, in faith, you must know that only

God can do anything for you.

Learn to discover your weakness.

Because of your human will, you have developed all-consuming habits within
yourselves that have indicated to you that you must act.

Remember your saying: Help yourself and Heaven will help you. I, I say to you:
Abandon yourself and Heaven will help you!

God created Heaven and earth, he created you: he is the only one who can help
you throughout your life.

If you have not found happiness within yourselves, around you, you must begin to
abandon yourselves in me: by turning to me, Jesus of love, by giving me your
human will, by allowing yourselves to be transformed by my graces of love, which
I want to give you.

I am the only one who will turn you into children of love, children who trust in
me, Jesus.

Firstly, my children, faith comes from me and trust comes from me; you must ask
me for it the moment you receive me.

With faith, this will be done through my graces; you will see that, without your
noticing it, you will have more and more faith in me, Jesus: I want to develop
within you trust in me, in my Heavenly Father.

To live in me, Jesus, it is necessary to die in me, Jesus: this is where your
true place is.

This world, my children, is no longer love, it did not want my surges of love;
they want to live with their own human will, they no longer come to Mass, they
no longer come to Communion, to receive graces of love for their souls, and so
the children of this world are suffering.

They develop within themselves the habit of building their lives without me, and
so they hurt themselves; they no longer find love around them because they do
not have love inside them, for themselves: there is love there but they do not
know it.

If a child has no love inside himself, he cannot give love! And those who are
around him, they too, if they have no love inside themselves, they cannot give
love.

Love does not come from another, love lives in the self; love is nourished
within you by my graces of love.

It is necessary to help those children; I am not speaking to you to show you
their mistakes, I am speaking to you so you can love them, so you can develop
love within yourselves for them.

My children of love, are you certain that you have enough love for them? Do you,
my children, remain with me in a moment of intimacy when you receive me? Do you
talk to me about love? Do you thirst for me? Did you ask me for faith?

Oh! Children of love, I know each one of you, I know your hope for love; I know
that you suffer because you do not live in love with your brothers and your
sisters.

I want to begin with you, I want to turn you into children of love, I want you
to no longer doubt the power of my love for you and for those who are around
you, I want to teach you to abandon yourselves completely in me, by giving me
your worries, by giving me your illnesses, by giving me your children, by giving
me your husband, your wife, your family: I want everything about you.

There are many wounds inside you.

There are some who have known children who have taken drugs, there are children
who have changed religion.

You who have raised them in your religion, you suffer today to see that your
children have left my Church.

I am Jesus of Love, I have all children in me.

Abandon yourselves, be faithful that I can do anything.

Give me all those who have made you suffer, there are some who have suffered
verbal abuse.

Some know children who have experienced physical violence and this has wounded
your heart to the point of crying: give me everything!

Some are afraid for those who do not come to Mass for they fear they are lost:
give them to me! I want my children! My children, some of my little children are
educated without religion: they suffer! But I say to you that some of you have
children who no longer listen to what you have taught them and this makes you
suffer: give me everything! I want everything about you; all that makes you
suffer, I bore it before you, I took everything within myself: every wound on my
Body has born every impure movement.

It is sin that has made your children like this; it is sin that makes you
suffer; it is sin that has made you sick; look at me on the Cross, I bore all
this for it was sins that marked my Flesh.

Due to the consequence of Adam and Eve's sin, you were forced to live with good
and evil: you were not able to resist evil, nor were your children!

All they do is the consequence of sin.

Will I condemn one or the other because others before them have shown them
certain habits which led them to sin as well? I am asking you, my beloved, to
enter within yourselves and to give me your sufferings: what you cannot change.
I am the Saviour; I came among you to take all the sins of the world to bring
them unto death and through this gesture of love, I was showing you that you
must give yourselves to me, because I purified you and I purified all that was
making you suffer, and I purified all the sins of those you know and of those
you do not know.

This is why when I want you to give me everything, I say to you: Give me your
life, give me the lives of my children.

You know that I love you, that I want you as you are along with your human
weaknesses; I also want the others who are in you, along with their human
weaknesses, because do you know why? Because I have already purified all you
have done and all they have done with my Precious Blood.

I want your yes, I want you to place your yes in my yes.

I am the beloved Son of the Father, I have refused nothing to my Father.

I gave my yes unconditionally despite the fact that I knew all I was about to
endure: I knew everything you were going to do, I knew about all your
rejections.

My beloved, when you come to Communion and you go home without a single I love
you, without a single loving action for me, I, I have seen everything and I have
continued to shed my Blood because I was aware of the movement of love: I was
the movement of love, I am The Love.

This moment is a moment of love for you and for me: ?Let yourself be taken by
me, your God of love; I want you to abandon yourself now with your yes, your yes
of a child.

I want you as a baby, I want to spoon-feed you because you know, if I were to
give to you as quickly as you would like, it would not be possible as you would
lack the strength to see all the wonders that I want for you; I do not want to
crush you with my love, I want to watch over you.

Every day, I will ask for your yes and every day I will give you graces of love,
and you will change and you will become a child of love as I, I wish, as my
Father has always wished for you.

Abandon yourself in faith, and when you shall be completely love: love will
emerge from you effortlessly.

You will be at peace, joyful and those who will come close to you will feel the
love emerging from you and through your example, they too will want to savour
what you have become: this is what you will do for your children, for your
husband, for your wife, for your brothers and your sisters; and I want more than
this: those you carry within you will benefit from all I give you.?

My children of love, I want to transform this world.

I want to turn you into children of love on your behalf, on behalf of those you
love, those you do not know: only love shall conquer evil.

A world of love is on its way; you are called to live in this world of love that
is coming; my Father's Kingdom is coming, my children of love; you shall do his
Will on earth as in Heaven, for all is being accomplished.

You are living in this time of love, you are hearing The Love who speaks to you
inside yourselves; each one of you, at this very moment, hears what I say within
you through this child.

She gave up her human will completely to live in my Divine Will; nothing came
from her, only her yes was uttered through her will; we, the Divine Will, were
aware of her yes.

We are the Alpha and the Omega, we are the Present; this is why we were aware of
her loving yes; we nourished her so as to enable her to do our Will, we chose
her for you because we wanted to speak to you in your hearts: such is our
action!

Be aware that at this very moment the Trinity is speaking to you, God is the
Almighty, God is the Power: you live in this power; become aware of what you
are: you have the Trinity inside you; we are The Love and you must be love.

We know better than you what is good; since your birth, we have been nourishing
you with our surges of love.

All you have done that was good came from us; not for a single moment did we not
pour love into you; this is why, children of God, we are asking you to come to
Communion by abandoning yourselves to our love; it is through us, with us and in
you that we will transform you.

We want your yes in complete abandonment like this child, and we,

we will do everything for you.

Let yourselves be enveloped in our love; you too will be take part in our
action.

When you come to know this moment of love, it will be because you will have
uttered your yes with abandonment, without fear.

If your yes is tiny, we will nourish it; it will take root, it will sprout, it
will become a branch upon which fruit will grow, and I shall graft that branch
to the Tree of Life, for I am the Tree of Life.

I want to nourish you with my Life so you can be children of God, my Father's
children; you were chosen to bring to this world proof that you are God's
children and that they are God's children.

Through your behaviour, through your loving words, through your gift of your
desire to give them love, they will see God's presence, for they will have found
nothing similar in what they have done and in what they have sought out, for you
shall represent happiness.

Children of love, I have spoken within you, in your hearts, so that you can be
witnesses of my action.

Your yes, I will nourish it with my graces of love.

It is in my Being that you will allow yourselves to be transformed for I am
Jesus Eucharist, I am the Presence, the Life; always remain in God's love with
your yes.

I am giving to you, at this very moment, movements of love that let you know
that you belong only to me: you are my Church; I, I am the Head, my consecrated
sons are my active members, you are my members, and I want to nourish all my
members; I want to make of all children of earth one and only Church: the Church
of The Love, the one I founded on earth with my apostles.

I shall return to my Father what he gave to me: you, his children; I love you,
give me your yes.

Through the presence of my priests, receive graces of love from Triune God.

Amen.



The Girl of My Will in Jesus in the Holy Spirit: God says that I must accomplish
God's Will; he knows that we're weak so he covers us with his Spirit of love so
we can really understand the testimony of his instrument of love; he says: Tell
them that I am the one who wants you to say this.

When we learn to abandon ourselves, God takes everything about us, he does
everything; believe me, he does everything.

Since 2001, I don't need a clock, he tells me when to go to bed too; he shows me
lots of things regarding my health; he told me that when I eat too much
chocolate, it's not good for me.

This afternoon, we were in the car and I was in the back and I was happy; I
said, Ah! I won't put on my seatbelt; but, he said, My daughter, be obedient and
put on your seatbelt.

Jesus is a God who takes care of us, who teaches us to love ourselves.

He's full of tenderness, he teaches us to be good friends too; because me,
before, I was a shy person, I didn't know how to talk to people, not at all.

I had one friend (from childhood) in my life and she was just like me; if she
had been different, I would have been all alone.

And when I met my husband, he had friends; he didn't leave them because of me,
but let's just say that I was happy to be alone with him because I wasn't
comfortable in a group.

And well, today, I'm with friends I don't even know and I have the impression
that I've always known them: it's like a big family that I see everywhere.

It's Jesus who develops this love inside us: this love for our neighbour, this
love for us.

He began with me mostly because I was a person who it wasn't a negative sort of
shyness but I was solitary: I liked being alone a little too much.

And also, he taught me to behave properly as a mother; I can't say as a single
girl because it wasn't that long ago that he began changing me, but as a mother,
he completely transformed me.

And also, he changed me as a wife because before my husband's death, I truly
experienced moments of tenderness and love; it was a different love than the one
I had known, and it was inside me that all this was happening: I was the one he
was changing.

It wasn't my children, it was me; it wasn't my friends, it was me; it wasn't my
husband, it was me: it was me that he was changing.

So, it's the complete opposite of what I had been thinking and seeing around me
since I was a child.

Yes, we were taught, since we were children, to be like this or like that, and
when we were older, at school, they also taught us: to change us according to
what they wanted.

And so, it was the same thing when I started working outside the home, well, I
was taught how to work: how to behave with the clients.

So me, I did the same thing; I have always wanted to raise my children the way
I, I wanted to.

I did the same thing to my husband, eh? I wanted him to be a husband according
to what I, I wanted.

But it was the same thing with my neighbour; I would see my neighbour, and I
wanted him to be like me; if he wasn?t like I wanted him to be, well then! I was
lost; I would say, Ah! My God, something's not wrong. It was the others who were
wrong, it wasn't me.

We were always taught to want to change others for our sake.

So when I would go to Confession, imagine that my sins were always according to
what I knew.

So, sometimes, I had a tendency to judge myself very severely as well: I would
blame myself; it was what I believed!

When Jesus began talking inside me, he began talking to me about love, he began
talking to me about himself; oh, they were really teachings about love! I had a
lesson for all my brothers and sisters every day; imagine that I write quite
badly; even so, he would say, Don't worry about your spelling.

I would write one page, two pages, three pages, it could take up to twenty,
twenty-five minutes, thirty minutes per message; so, we had the whole day for
us, to ourselves.

Nicole: The messages

The Girl of My Will in Jesus in the Holy Spirit: Ah! The lessons! And so, he
would talk to me all the time, he would talk to me about love; it was with his
graces that he would talk to me since on my own I wasn't able to because it was
really too important; so he would talk to me gently, with simple words so I
could understand; sometimes, he would show me images inside myself, that's when
he made me go forward.

He began talking to me about his Father; ah! now that was wonderful because he
would say that he was in the Father and the Father was in him.

He would talk to me about the love his Father had for me and for all children,
because when he would talk to me about love, it wasn't only about love for me,
but about love for others, but always with the aim of making himself known to
me.

Nicole: What was the last part you just said?

The Girl of My Will in Jesus in the Holy Spirit: He was describing the love he
has for me and for others, but it was always with the aim of making himself
known to me: of making me discover his love. So, it's the same thing with God
the Father he would give me lessons on love, and I also received some from the
Holy Spirit.

You know, our loving Mother is so humble that I only began receiving some
(visions) in May, at the end of May, beginning of June, when I went to
Medjugorje.

Our loving Mother is the most humble person on earth.

It was with words of gentleness that she allowed herself to be discovered, and
it was her Son who introduced me to his Mother.

And with this, the Trinity, I began to understand what it was? what they wanted
me to understand about the Trinity; now, this, this is different because with my
human will, they knew what I was supposed to learn and not more.

And the writings were becoming more and more intensive: lots and lots of
writing; I began to understand what I was writing; in the month of August, he
began to talk about our neighbour it was always in relation to me, but then he
began talking about our neighbour and, he would talk to me about all the
children of the world: about the love he had for them and the love I also had to
have for them.

So, since 2001, I was receiving graces of love, and this was transforming me
always in relation to my brothers and my sisters; my yes was becoming deeper and
deeper within me, I would say.

At first, when I gave my life, when I gave my yes, I gave it out of love for
Jesus, out of love for my brothers and my sisters; but, you know, deep down I
didn't know what it really meant, and today, I'm still discovering more things:
there are still more changes taking place.

When I began, in the month of July, correcting all the writings, then, Jesus, he
would say, Go to a such and such a spot this was during the first writings so,
I would go to that spot, it was right in the middle of a sentence, and then, all
of a sudden, the writing would start again: he would add a page, two pages and
the last word would be in the middle of the sentence.

When this would happen, I would be there in front of the screen and I would be
stunned; then, sometimes, there were tears, I would cry when I would see this I
know that Jesus is the Intelligence, I know that he is Perfection, but there, I
would see it in front of my eyes, there was so much repetition; sometimes, there
could be one repetition, two repetitions in a single message: it was like this
in almost all the messages.

I asked Jesus: But why, Jesus, didn't you give me this right away at the
beginning? He would say that I was too little, that I had to attend the school
of love; and, he would also say: You have to suffer as I have suffered! You must
follow me, and from the first to the last, it will be like this.

Once, I was doing corrections, and oh boy, he was adding so much, Jesus of love
come on, you're the one who's making me say this, Jesus and, he was adding on,
and adding on, and adding on and, then, I skipped one. I knew that he wanted me
to stop there, but I was tired; so, I just kept on going, and going pretending
not to notice; he said to me, My daughter, go back! You know where, go back to
the right spot. So, I said, Yes, Lord.

At times, things have happened to me that have shown me God's action.

I was in the process of I'm going to give you just one example: I was doing
because when I talk about corrections, I'm not the one who does the corrections.
I don't know what to call this, but when, in Jesus, I look at a place (in a
text) he, he talks to me: Take that word, put it in that sentence there. Well,
me, I call this correcting because we're working backwards. So, I was working on
a text that was about stubbornness a person who argues, people who don't always
agree with us so, the Lord, he began talking about Don Quixote; yes, he used to
say: You are like windmills, you are fighting the wind. He is saying: You do not
know where the wind is coming from, and it hits you in the back.

He was about to continue the writing when all of a sudden, I couldn't understand
anymore because usually, when I'm correcting, something happens: at every
sentence, I know what it means, I understand, I can see the light through it;
even with one word, I can look at it and I can explain; I don't know how this
happens but this is how it is but now, I couldn't understand, I was completely
blocked: 'Jesus, something's not working, I can't understand what you want to
say. I had been stuck on the same word for five, ten minutes, I couldn't
understand.

During those moments, he makes me live things inside myself, like a kind of
suffering; then, the telephone rings, I answer and it was the person who
organizes the gatherings.

She says this to me: The meeting at Lake of St. John, it's not working out.
Then, she says, Me, I told them something like: She can't possibly give a
message individually to one hundred and fifty people in one hour, and so, she
told me to cancel everything.

She was telling me this about the other person and so I said, Don't worry,
everything will work out. I was repeating everything the Lord was telling me,
but I didn't know how he was going to go about it!

So, I said, Give me the telephone number of the person and I will call her. So
when I picked up the phone and reached the person in question, she told me that
the other person had misunderstood, that she had given me the wrong information,
while she, she had given a different message; she said, I had had a nice day,
and then, voila, bang, here she comes and says those things to me; that's it,
she ruined my day! And so, what they were living, I was in the process of
writing it: this happened several times.

After that telephone call, I understood everything the Lord wanted to explain to
me and I can, in the Holy Spirit, bear witness that this happened several times
with different messages.

Once, there was a young girl, a wife, who was the victim of verbal violence from
her husband, and the same thing happened.

It's not because Jesus provokes events, of course not; it's because he took that
moment, the Lord, he knows everything, and so, when the phone rang right in the
middle of a sentence, it was exactly what she was living: he had to know this,
and he combined the two moments.

With the writings, I began to understand my brothers and my sisters, not to
judge them but to understand love: how much Jesus loves them! Because if you
only knew how he, he manages to arrange all this, it's incredible!

He makes us see how human they are, how far they have let themselves go because
of their human will; he shows them how they are; through examples, he really
shows what they're living and he, he says why they're living this and how he can
help them; you know, it's through his love, it's God's love that is going to
change us.

He's a free God, Jesus; he says that this is for each one of us and he also
wants to help us regarding our brothers and our sisters, because he says that if
we know ourselves, us, and if we know our neighbour, we're going to learn to
better love ourselves because we're made of love, and we're made to give.

We have to begin to know Jesus, to know the Father,

to know the Holy Spirit and to know his Mother.

And then, he teaches us to know ourselves, to love ourselves, to trust in their
love, to abandon ourselves in them, because due to our human will we have hurt
ourselves, and with this, we have lacked trust, even in God: over time, we have
learned to manage on our own with what we know, with what we are.

But by discovering God's love, well, us, we have faith, we can abandon
ourselves: we abandon ourselves more easily; so, if we, we learn to become love,
well then, it's to love others: love is meant to be given.

Jesus is love; he is a Movement of giving, Jesus: Jesus is in the Father, the
Father is in the Son, the Son and the Father are in the Holy Spirit; do you see
which movement this is? Then, we, by giving ourselves in Jesus, we enter into
this movement: in me, in you, in them and in you.

So, this is how we will, with what we are, with the love that we are, help our
brothers and our sisters to become love as well, but we're not the ones who are
going to do this that's the best part of this.

You know, this morning I received a beautiful message in English; he said to me,
Repeat, so, I repeated, but when I went upstairs, I had already forgotten it, I
was really stuck! He said this was the message, it was for her he said, You,
you talk again, and, imagine, I didn't know what it meant and after, he said,
For me. He said this to Nicole.

Jesus wants to transform us into beings of love for our brothers and our
sisters.

He wants to turn us into instruments of love, he doesn't want us to do this, he
wants us to enter into him.

Jesus is in the Father, Jesus is the Word, he is the accomplishment of his
Father's Will; us, we must enter into Jesus: we must enter into the Word; so, we
are not the action, we are not the Will, that's Jesus.

If Jesus received everything from his Father, we who are going to enter into
Jesus, we?re going to receive everything from Jesus, who received everything
from the Father.

He said this morning that Nicole and I, we're going to be the repetition of the
voice of The Love: what God is reserving, he says it in the moment of his
choosing.

This is what he's going to do with us, he's going to take us with what we are,
and he's going to develop us according to our rhythm, not according to what we,
we want.

Yes, he said once in his writing: I will not transform you at the speed of your
jet planes. He says that he knows our weakness, he knows all that we have lived
and that we, we do not know.

You know, it's very reassuring to leave everything in Jesus: to do nothing.

You know, when you leave your home and you arrive in a province where you don't
speak the language, and there are about a hundred people, and nothing has been
prepared, absolutely nothing has been prepared he doesn't even tell me a few
moments beforehand what we're going to talk about, not at all, because he says:
It's not your gathering, it's my gathering.

Even (when I am) in the action, when I come to sit here to bear witness, I don't
know what I'm going to say at all.

Once, he gave me the reason for this: he said that every gathering of love takes
places in the heart of every person who is present here; he says that all the
words that were uttered because he told me this afterwards they depend on
every one of you, on what you have already lived, on what you are living now.

He could, through his power, tell me in advance what is going to happen, what
the message is going to be; he says he doesn't want to do this because he says:
You too, you will learn to discover yourself in harmony with your sisters and
your brothers. He says that this is in respect of freedom; Jesus, he says, If I
were to tell you what is in the hearts of my children, without their being aware
of it it would be as if he were violating your interior.

Jesus is a God of love, he's a God who is free, he wants us to be free.

Even in his teachings, God teaches us how to behave by giving us a loving
example.

You know, I didn't know this, I just learned it at the same time as you and he
often does this.

When I was sitting there before, I was saying: Ah! Lord, you won't leave me like
this, eh? You won't leave me here without coming to talk to me? What am I going
to look like up there if you don't come and talk to me? So, he said, Have faith,
I'm here. Have no fear.

But, one day, this is what he said to me: Would you be prepared to be mocked on
my behalf? So, I said, Yes, and I don't know what's going to happen that day.

Dear Jesus of love, he spoils us with graces, you know, while he's telling us at
the same time about what's going to happen, because you're going to live moments
of love, of transformation, because he's preparing us for something huge.

He wants to turn us into children of the Divine Will.

He wants us to become like Adam and Eve once were before the sin, and only the
Son of God is going to be able to do this.

He's going to envelop us in his love, he's going to envelop all our yeses and
then, with his yes, he's going to envelop the offence that Adam and Eve did to
his Father; since Jesus is the only one who was able to give his yes in order to
save us, he is the YES, the yes that will envelop the no, and then, God the
Father will be joyful.

Do you know that God the Father created the seventh day as a day of rest? The
seventh day, we're supposed to reserve it for him; we're supposed to show him
our love; we're supposed to tell him how much we love him; the seventh day, this
is his day, it's his day with his children: we call this our day of rest.

When God the Father will receive his Son's yes, which will envelop the no, God
the Father will rest.

When Jesus spoke to me like this, I realized that it?s impossible to grasp all
of God's love for us; do you know what it means to wait after your children? You
have a child, we have known children, we have children of our own, eh? Imagine
that a child doesn't do as he wishes and yet he doesn't scold him.

We wait, and we wait, and we wait for him to come home; remember the prodigal
son that's each and every one of us; well, our Heavenly Father is waiting after
us.

He's waiting for our yes to The Love in his Son.

God the Father, he gave us the most beautiful proof of his love: his Son, the
Being of his Being. Us, we have to give our yes in Jesus in order to give the
Father what he's expecting from us, in order to give God the Father all he is
due to receive: all he has given us, well, we must give it to him by going
through the Son.

When we say yes, we are agreeing to give our life; it's not just a little yes,
eh? I have just realized this it is a yes but it's quite a yes because this yes
comes from the Father; since we come from him, it belongs to him but because of
our human will, we can't give our yes directly to God the Father.

We have to go through the yes of Jesus, we have to enter into the yes of Jesus.

There is only one yes on earth: that's the yes of Jesus; there was one other yes
it was Mary's Fiat and her yes brought the Yes to earth.

Mother Mary's yes is a pure yes: it was a yes that had never known any
imperfection, it was perfect: her yes.

It was necessary for a yes from earth to draw a yes from Heaven, and so Mother
Mary's yes entered into the yes of Jesus.

It was the first yes that entered into Jesus.

You know, for many years, Mother Mary lived in Jesus with her yes, before Jesus
came to teach us to say our yes. For thirty years Jesus lived with his Mother in
the perfection of that yes.

Such was the Will of his Father to give to Mary's yes all the gratitude she was
meant to receive, because Mary was purity, the only one who did not have sin
within her.

And Mother Mary always kept her yes and her purity of heart, of soul and of
body, for Mother Mary became merged with her yes; she allowed herself to be
enveloped by her Son's yes.

She had no other life than for her Son, who was making her discover the Father's
love:

she, the Pure, who had always given her yes to the Father.

You know, when you know the yes, you don't have to look for love elsewhere other
than in Jesus; it nourishes you.

Me, I gave my yes to Jesus of love, I'm not pure; Jesus had pity on me, he
transformed me through his graces of love.

My husband died on March 4; the love I have for my husband is a combination of
God's love and human love.

God the Father chose my husband and he also chose me for him; we lived together
in love, we experienced difficulties together and we learned to weather the
storms: we always trusted in Jesus of love.

I believe that without God's love: you can't live as a couple; if a couple isn't
Catholic and they live together, that's because they have God's love inside
them, because we're God's children.

So, when my husband died, I felt a great emptiness inside myself because I
missed him; I missed his body, I missed his words, I missed his human words, I
missed his affection, I missed his company, but Jesus of love was enveloping me
in his graces of love and this comforted me, this gave me peace, and his love
for me was so strong that I fell deeply in love with Jesus: this fills the void
I felt because of my husband's absence.

Today, I asked Mother Mary: Mother Mary, I would like to have the grace of
always being my husband's (only) wife, and I'm certain this will always be so,
do you know why?

Because now, they are all brothers and sisters.

Mother Mary, she had God's love that nourished her constantly because she had
received in her womb: The Love.

You, can you imagine that a woman has God inside of her? Can you imagine The
Love that was nourishing her? She was carrying all of you, you were all God's
children; she was carrying all the children of God the Father within herself,
she was becoming the Mother of all the children of earth.

Through this movement of love, Mother of Love was becoming the worthy Mother of
all the children of earth since Adam and Eve up to the last one to be created.

And so, if I, I don?t love my brothers, then she couldn't have loved her
children either as: men and women. If to me, through God's love, he gave me the
grace to see all male children as my brothers, females as my sisters, how could
Mother Mary, who bore the divine Love, God of Love, who became the Mother of all
the children of earth, not see God's children as her children; so, this answers
certain questions, eh?

Mother is Purity. Mother of love, she has always been purity. Mother of love
will always be purity: in body, soul and spirit.

Mother is the Immaculate One!

I give thanks tonight to God for having revealed to us the splendour of Mary's
purity with such simplicity.

It?s so wonderful to hear Jesus talk and to be covered by the Holy Spirit to
discover these words of love at the same time as you: this is a movement of love
created by the Trinity.

You know, what has just been said tonight, they?re words that came to me through
the Holy Spirit, and what comforts me is that I carry my brothers, that we carry
all our brothers and our sisters of the entire world; what he showed us tonight,
I wish all children had heard this.

Well, now, it's not children, eh, Lord, that you just said to me It's my
brothers and my sisters.

I have a tendency to say my children because God, he goes through me, and
sometimes, I don't really know if it's me in the Holy Spirit or if it's he's the
one who's talking.

He's saying: This is to make you understand that what you say can only come from
The Love: I am The Love, and The Love and the Holy Spirit merge into one! (Here,
the interpreter, Nicole, asks her to repeat.) Me, I can't, Jesus repeats; he
says, I am The Love, The Love is in you and because I am in you and you, you are
in me, you are the movement of love in my movement within me, and love is love
to such an extent that they become one.

You see, this is my life!



The two chosen ones of the Lord each receive a gift from the people of Western
Canada:

When I came here to Manitoba and to Saskatchewan, God told me nothing, he did
not warn me of what I was going to receive either; and I discovered a big
family.

You know, Canada has no borders: Canada is one and only one country.

We have separated our country.

Jesus, he said, In the New Earth, there will be no borders.

We will all be united in God's love.

We have developed a sense of pride: in my country, in my province, in my
continent; we have created a sense of ownership but Jesus, what he wants: is us
with our yes.

We're going to give it to him, and there will no more of this.

So, when we will go to the New Earth, from one end to the other, we're going to
feel at home everywhere.

Well, he started with me because I feel at home here.

Message From the Father Thru Lec- March 18, 2008


Note: Sounds like a personal message for me but let me share just the same.
There is an explanation for the scripture verse, Many are called but few are
chosen - Lec

MESSAGE FROM THE FATHER March 18, 2008
6:45 AM

Son, I am fully aware of what is going on inside you but let me tell you that
all these aches, pains, illnesses, weakness, suffering, feeling of helplessness
are mere signs for a wake up call into your spirit. Only in this kind of
situation will you attain further gains in ascension in the spirit realm a
point in your transformation process where being dead to self is the basic
necessity for my spirit to attain a greater foothold in your being for in your
weakness, I am strong. When you are emptied of your old inclinations and
passions will your transformation in the spirit become an accomplished fact.
There is no other way but the way of the cross of my Son Jesus.

Just as Jesus suffered, so must suffer too those who follow in His footsteps.
This is the narrow way, the unpopular path taken and embraced by the saints but
ask me now how they are doing right now in my Kingdom of peace, happiness and
everlasting glory and I will tell you that the short time on earth that they
endured drinking on the cup of suffering of my Son Jesus now they recall as
their sure and unmistakable means of passage to their glorious eternity.

Not everyone on earth would like the suffering of the Saints, only a few
enlightened ones. NOW, DO YOU STILL WONDER WHY SO MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW ARE
CHOSEN? WILL THE GREATER NUMBER ACCEPT SUFFERING AS THE CHOSEN
ANSWER IS OBVIOUS, SON!

SUPERCRICITCAL
MESSAGE via L., V+J
March14, 2008- - -11:20 A.M.

L. began to receive a message from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with
Your Most Precious Blood." (and various other prayers of testing)

Then Father God spoke, "My daughter, tell all My people everywhere to be alert
and obey My every word. Nothing, NO NOTHING, is free from chemicals, toxins,
germs, poisons!

Food, water, drugs, anything fresh or canned or processed, clothing,
toiletries, furniture, etc- -everything IS CONTAMINATED! These elements enter
through your pores, nose, mouth. They are carried inside on your clothing,
especially on your shoes.

Dieases will run rampant and quickly worsen. Most everything is imported
and passes through customs. No age or gender is exempt: no animals, either.

Fresh foods are imported and /or packaged in a foreign land. Frozen and
canned meats, fish, fruit, vegetables, baby food, pet foods- - -all are tainted!

You people say that you are too busy to read ALL labels therefore you are
too busy to take care of your bodies which are TEMPLES OF GOD! Train yourself
to obey My words. Only this can and will save your life and the lives of all
creatures, all people.

Each second, each minute, each hour of the year you are being exposed to
deadly elements. Through Me, protect your life, all life, your planet.

Your government and all its branches MUST join together to make your country
and all its people safe!

If you do not heed ALL My words YOU WILL PERISH! Amen, I, your God have
spoken! Amen, all is true and all is quickly coming to fruition!"

 

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 18 - Be thankful in front of the cross

 

"Among the graces which Jesus gave to His foster-father—and He flooded him with the graces attached to every one of His mysteries—is that special to an adorer of the Blessed Sacrament.  That is the one we must ask of St. Joseph
Have confidence, strong confidence in him.  Take him as the patron and the model of your life of adoration" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).
 

 

   "Christian piety has rejoiced to learn from the Book of Acts that Mary was present at the first gatherings of the faithful, when they broke bread together as brothers and spent long hours in prayer.  And modern art has often portrayed the heavenly Mother in the act of receiving from the hand of St. John, the beloved disciple, the Communion of the Body and Blood of her Son . . . .  When we say that in the Eucharist we have the Son and in Mary we have his Mother, have we not said all?" (Bl. Pope John XXIII).

 

The Cross is the food of Hope.

 

 

Mother Teresa -

Am I convinced of Christ's love for me and mine for Him? This conviction is like sunlight which makes the sap of life rise and the buds of sanctity bloom. This conviction is the rock on which sanctity is built.
What must we do to get this conviction?
We must know Jesus, love Jesus, serve Jesus.
I must not attempt to control God's actions; I must not count the stages in the journey He would have me make. I ask Him to make a saint of me, yet I must leave to Him the choice of that saintliness itself and still more the choice of the means which lead to it.

 

 Everything of you should be sweetness and peace

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

If you suffer with resignation in doing His will, you do not offend Him but love Him. And your heart will find great comfort in remembering that in your hour of pain Jesus Himself suffers in you and for you. He did not abandon you when you fled from Him; why should He abandon you now that you are proving your love for Him by the martyrdom of your soul? (GF, 174).

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

America is spoiled because she expects too much!

"The discontent is far greater among the over-privileged than the underprivileged. The rich need the psychoanalysts more than the poor. Few European minds cracked under two wars. Many American minds have. The first learned not to expect anything. This lesson America has yet to learn."

 

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

 

Second Day

Today bring to me the souls of priests and religious, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me the strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them, as through channels, My mercy flows out upon mankind.       (1212)

Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that we may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.

     The fountain of God's love
     Dwells in pure hearts,
     Bathed in the Sea of Mercy
     Radiant as stars, bright as the dawn.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company [of chosen ones] in Your vineyard-upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.      (1213)

 

 

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 18 - BE THANKFUL IN FRONT OF THE CROSS

Our Lady reminds us of her message of March 13th, and speaks of gratitude:

"Dear Children, remember the four things you have to do during Lent. Tonight when you go home, I ask you to be thankful in front of the cross for all that you fell you should be grateful for; thank Jesus for what you have. My Son will hear you (Visionary Prayer Group February 13, 1989).

Second Corinthians also speaks of gratitude:

Yes, everything is for your sake, so that grace, as it extends to more and more people, may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God (2 Cor 4:15)

Reflection:

The Virgin speaks many times of gratitude in her messages, for it is a form of love of God. Poets and writers have searched for words beautiful enough to express their thanks for such great gifts, but none have succeeded so well as St. Francis of Assisi. May his Canticle of the Sun be our own hymn of thanksgiving today:

O most high, almighty Lord God, To You belong praise, glory, honor and all Blessings. Praise to my Lord God with all his creatures, And especially our brother the sun, who brings Us the day and who brings us the light; Fair is he who shines with such great splendor;

O Lord, he signifies You to us! Praise to my Lord for our sister the moon and For the stars. Which he has set clear and lovely in heaven. Praise to my Lord for all those who pardon One another for his love' s sake, And who endure weakness and tribulation; Blessed are they who peaceably shall endure; For You, O God, shall give them a crown! Praise to my Lord for our sister, the death Of the body from which no man escapes. Woe to him who dies in mortal sin! Blessed are they who are found walking in Your most holy will, For the second death shall have no power To do them harm. Praise and bless the Lord and give him thanks, And serve him with great humility.

Application:

Offer one decade of your rosary today simply in thanksgiving to God For all his gifts. In addition, review Our Lady's message of March 13th, as she has requested today.

Message From the Father Thru Lec- March 15, 2008


Message from the Father
March 15, 2008
6:40 AM

Son, the days given for those whom I want enlightened before I allow the
purification take its reign are numbered.

 

I have already given much warning
thru the messengers and if people have not taken heed, they can no longer say
that I did not warn them in advance. For so many have instead chosen to close
their eyes and stuff their ears to my promptings that I say enough is enough.

THE RESTRAINERS OF MY JUSTICE HAVE ALREADY GROWN WEARY OF FOREVER ENDURING THE
SACRIFICE OF PETITIONING ME IN SILENCE FOR MORE TIME THAT MORE PEOPLE MAY SEE
THE LIGHT, REPENT AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS.

 

There remains no more reason
for me to further hold back the stream of judgments to fall in this generation.
I will not let you to speculate on the exact timing son, so do not ask me that,
for frustrations might be the only consequence.

 

Simply remain in my will, love
your neighbor as you love me and even if my Son Jesus comes at this very moment,
you will not be surprised but be ready to face Him.

Tell this to others that they may be warned as well.

Your Father looks after the welfare of His children.

Go in peace!

Message to J.N.S.R. Jan.30,2008


The Instrument of God



January 30, 2008

 

JNSR:  To each one, I want to talk about the doubt, which is the rampant enemy of the necessary  Trust required to accept the Word of God, as it is perceived by the Instrument of God, who said YES to the Lord for this mission. 

 

 To His Apostles, JESUS gave the example of an innocent child:  none of us is innocent.  All men are sinners.

 

            The choice of God and the Yes of His Messenger, give her a privileged Innocence, so as to hear the Lord in her heart and write what she hears. 

 

Sometimes, when speaking "on her own", as is the case now, it is on God's impulse in her.  I know this because I feel it:  while I am writing, I am still trembling.

 

            Please understand that God uses me and He does not allow me to venture on one subject or another, without His Holy Presence.

 

            I speak, inhabited by God.  I cannot invent anything.  God took me as His Instrument, as He did with Saint Paul.  For God was in Paul who could only speak the Truth of God. 

 

            I admit that I sometimes asked for help against the temptation to doubt, for  "Satan rages at these messages",  My Lord cautioned me many times.  And the devil sometimes instilled doubt in me, in order to bring them to stop. 

 

And he inoculates doubt in certain people in order to deprive them of the many fruits from these messages.  It is his role as the enemy of God and of man.  But against doubt, there is Prayer:  "JESUS, for the Glory of Your Name, increase my Faith, so that it reduces to nothing, the evil doubt".

 

            I know that now, God never leaves me alone for even one minute, and that His Word has become mine, that JESUS told us the Truth:  to change our identity and all about ourselves, into His Identity and with Himself.  I am not a saint, I only accept what God is asking of me.

 

            In those who are working, one way or another, on these Messages, God does not want any doubt to assail them.  And God wishes to be served First.  The poor, you will always have among you. 

 

 And JESUS tells you:  I, at this time, I need you,  My chosen ones".   Do not forget that you have been chosen so that His Word triumphs in this most anxious World.

 

            I am obliged to inform all those who have been chosen for the work: "Witnesses of the Cross", that since that day, you are all part of this immense choice.  It is an openness growing with each of you. 

 

 And I say this for my secretary:  I cannot specify whether this letter is from JNSR or from JESUS, because this letter is under His Holy Commandment, and God tells you even if He chose a woman and a JNSR, that through me, it is necessary to recognize Him, for such is His choice.  That responsibility, each one of us has it.......

 

JESUS:            ....and it will spread over the entire World that needs to hear Me.  And only your generosity, your obedience to unite yourselves to Me, to hear Me, and to follow Me, will make of you  My True Apostles  of these Times. 

 

 Your devotion to My Call will be acknowledged and approved by some Priests and even some Bishops, touched, in their turn, by your Faith, which will be seen everywhere.

 

            Do not neglect your duties with God, for I am building  this Reign of Peace  in each one and in the entire World.  Do not resist My Call when I will tell you through JNSR, what I am preparing, and I will keep you informed through her.   Enough for today.

 

            I bless you and I console you, even if the task will be difficult.  It is genuine, for it comes from the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

 

God is Truth and Love


JESUS, your God of Love †  Amen


Believe and repent.
