BLACK SAINT OF THE DAY

 

Anianus of Alexandria, Bishop, second bishop of Alexandria. As soon Mark, the Evangelist entered the city gates of Alexandria, his sandal rap broke.

 He took it to this shoemaker, Anianus, who became Mark’s first Alexandria convert. After authorities martyred Mark during the reign Emperor Trajan’s reign (or the "eighth year of Nero”), Anianus succeeded him as second bishop of Alexandria. 25 April

Anihan (Moses the Black). I am also known as Moses the Ethiopian. Born 330 A.D. enslaved, but did not take too kindly to my unnatural condition.

A Kemetian official called himself my owner. I became a thief. The owner cast me from his household. I joined a gang of fellow robbers.

Once, while being pursued for my acts, I sought sanctuary with monastery hermits at Petra, in the Scete desert. The grace of God converted me. I became a monk, and then was ordained a priest. God gave me the grace of supernatural gifts. I became a pacifist.

Later, the monastery was attacked. I did not defend myself, though I could have done so. Martyred Berbers or Bedouins. 405 A.D. at Petra, Skete, Khemet. The Church of Al Adra (the Virgin) contains my remains. 28 Aug.

The Power to Heal

Sunday, July 06, 2008

Dear Friends,

“I have waited, waited for the Lord, and he stooped toward me and heard my cry.

He drew me out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud of the swamp;

He set my feet upon a crag; he made firm my steps.

And he put a new song into my mouth, a hymn to our God.” Psalm 40:2-4

The sun is shining bright this morning once more. The temperature is great and there is a light wind. I thank the Lord for the beautiful weather we are having.

I celebrated three Masses yesterday, one at 9:30 a.m., the second at 1:00 p.m. and the third at our church here at 7:00 p.m. Besides the Masses, I had a good number of visitors who came to visit the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island and to pray. I showed many people the new book by Dom Forker entitled “Roses in December.” I highly recommend this book, as it is very well written and full of information. Both chapter 30 and 31 refer to Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. I expect many people to come and visit today and to spend time in prayer.

The Power to Heal

I come back again this morning to the little book of Dr. Bob Rice. He writes, “It is our sincere prayer that by reading this book, you have received a renewed belief in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. If you have a need in your life, remember this: ‘And He said, what is impossible for human beings is possible for God.’ (Luke 1:27) Because Jesus is present in the Holy Eucharist, His power to heal is also present in the Holy Eucharist.”

Here are five things that Dr. Bob recommends:

1.   Pray the Forgiveness Prayer with great faith.

2.   Go to confession regularly.

3.   Go to Mass regularly and be very attentive as the priest consecrates the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

4.   Pray with expectant faith to the Lord for the healing you need when you receive the Holy Eucharist at Mass.

5.   And Jesus will heal you.

It is a fact that Jesus is the greatest healer this world has ever known. He healed all the people who came to Him while He was on earth and today He continues to heal people all over the world. I have seen over a hundred people healed from all kinds of sicknesses. All these healings show that the Lord loves us and He wants us close to Him.

"God is waiting for us in Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.  Let us not  leave him waiting in vain!  Let us not, through distraction and lethargy, pass by the greatest and most important thing life offers us . . . . 

Let us not pass it heedlessly by.  Let us take time, in the course of the week, in passing, to go in and spend a moment with the Lord who is so near.  During the day our churches should not be allowed to be dead houses, standing empty and seemingly useless.  Jesus Christ's invitation is always being proffered from them. 

This sacred proximity to us is always alive in them.  It is always calling us and inviting us in.  This is what is lovely about Catholic churches, that within them there is, as it were, always worship, because the Eucharistic presence of the Lord dwells always within them" (Pope Benedict XVI).

"Our Lord knew well that we were too weak to walk courageously along the road of life that is often very difficult.  So His prophet who saw from afar all the treasures hidden in the Church of Jesus Christ said, 'Thou hast prepared a table before me, against them that afflict me' (Psalm 23:5).  The food of this table is Jesus Christ Himself; His Divine Flesh, His precious Blood.  It is He who prepares the feast and invites us to it." (St. Madeleine Sophie Barat)

You can find all kinds of information on the Pope and Medjugorje and how much he does support it. I find that people are so willing to believe false rumors and think that all the priests, Bishops and Cardinals who have spoken and reported the Pope's support of Medjugorje, are not telling the truth. It doesn't make sense to me.

Mother Teresa  -

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. Jesus said, " As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. "

Meditations by Padre Pio -

Make a particular effort to practice sweetness and submission to the will of God, not only in extraordinary natters, but even in the little things that occur daily. Make these acts not only in the morning, but also during the day and in the evening, with a tranquil and joyful spirit. And if you should fail in this, humble yourself, make a new proposition, get up and continue on your way (Letters III p 708).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Beauty is in the heart of the beholder!

"One of the great trials of marriage is the absence of solitude. In the first moments of human love, one does not see the little hidden deformities which later on appear. It is not the great hurts which cause enthusiasm to cool, but rather the steady diet of mediocrities, the repeated insincerities, the getting used to one another's company, the everyday dust of human existence. There comes a moment when the wife seems less beautiful just because of the habit of seeing her. What is often seen is no longer thought to be beautiful. Much of what is beautiful is determined by two things: by surprise and by love. When enthusiasm cools, then one hears 'You are not the one whom I married.'"

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

O my Creator, I long for You! You understand me, O Lord of mine! All that is on earth seems to be like a pale shadow.

It is You I long for and desire. Although You do so inconceivably much for me, for You Yourself visit me in a special way, yet those visits do not soothe the wound of the heart, but make me long all the more for You, O Lord. Oh, take me to Yourself, Lord, if such is Your will! You know that I am dying, and I am dying of longing for You; and yet, I cannot die.

Death, where are you? You draw me into the abyss of Your divinity, and You veil yourself with darkness. My whole being is immersed in You, yet I desire to see You face to face. When will this come about for me?      (841) 

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.  -

July 6 - FEAR NOTHING

Our Lady calls us to safe harbor, to fear not:

I am your Mother and Jesus is your great friend. Fear nothing in his presence. Give him your heart. Tell him of your sufferings from the bottom of your heart, for this way you will be strengthened in prayer. Your heart will be free, at peace and without fear. (Locutionist Jelena Message 11-29-83)

And in Luke's gospel, Jesus quiets the fear of his disciples:

A windstorm swept down on the lake, and the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger. They went to him and woke him up, shouting, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" And he woke up and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; they ceased, and there was calm.

He said to them, "Where is your faith?" They were afraid and amazed, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?" (Luke 8:22-25)

Reflection:

The Sea of Galilee is still the scene of fierce storms, sometimes with waves as high as 20 feet. Christ's disciples were not frightened without cause. Even though several of them were expert fishermen and knew how to handle a boat, their peril was real.

We, like the disciples, are called to experience awe at the immense power of Christ, who calms a fierce storm with a word. Jesus demonstrates his power over creation in a way that only the Creator could.

 Through this story we recognize that Jesus the Messiah is the Creator of the universe, the most high God. As John writes: "All things came into being through him, and without him, nothing came to be" (John 13).

Application:

Mary tells us that "Jesus is your great friend. Do not fear anything in his presence." Today, briefly call to mind any fears, lifting them up to Christ so that he can calm and release them from your heart.

Jesus Warns Of Things To Come Of An Unpredictable Nature

Before receiving the most sacred Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharistic Sacrament, I made an Act Of Contrition. With the Host on my tongue, I knelt in silent commune with Jesus and thanked Him for His many blessings.

Then in prayer I prayed; Speak Lord, Your servant listens.

Jesus responded to my prayer initially by showing me a very barren and parched land. It looked to be cold as it was of a slight bluish hue.

Mother of Perpetual Light 07-04-08

The Words of these messages are being received in poetic verse allegedly from the Blessed Mother under the title "The Mother of Perpetual Light". On a number of occasions alleged messages were also received from the Eucharistic Jesus starting with the words "I Am The Bread, I Am The Wine", also in poetic verse.

WHICH GIFTS WILL YOU CHOOSE?

GOD FILLED, MY DEAR CHILDREN, YOUR HEARTS FULL OF JOY,
WHICH IRRITATES SATAN AS HE ATTEMPTS IT TO DESTROY.
YOU CAN CHOOSE WHAT GOD GIVES YOU TO KEEP OR RELEASE,
BUT WHEN THERE'S JOY IN YOUR HEART, SATAN'S ATTACKS WILL NOT CEASE.

SATAN ALSO WILL GIVE YOU A GIFT-BAG THAT IS FULL;
DON'T BE FOOLED, MY DEAR CHILDREN, BY THE SHEEP WITHOUT WOOL.
SATAN KNOWS, MY CHILDREN, TO WHAT YOU ARE MOST PRONE,
AND HIS ULTIMATE GOAL IS YOUR SOUL TO OWN.

THERE ARE MANY MORE GIFTS THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU,
BUT TO BENEFIT FROM THEM YOU MUST BE TO GOD TRUE.
THANK GOD, MY DEAR CHILDREN, FOR EACH GIFT GOD HAS GIVEN
ESPECIALLY FOR THE ONE WHERE YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN.

Patience

"Fly a thousand miles from saying, 'I was in the right: it was not right for me to suffer this, they had no right to do such a thing to me.'  Do you think there was any question of rights when Jesus suffered the injuries which were so unrighteously inflicted on Him?

- St. Teresa of Avila

 
For Reflection:

How does the "rights" and "entitlement" mindset of our contemporary culture affect me with regard to the virtue of patience? What practical steps or strategies can I take to alleviate its influence?

Prayer For Patience:

O glorious St. Paul, who from a persecutor of Christianity, didst become a most ardent apostle of zeal; and who to make known the Savior Jesus Christ unto the ends of the world didst suffer with joy imprisonment, scourgings, stoning, shipwrecks and persecutions of every kind, and in the end didst shed thy blood to the last drop, obtain for us the grace to receive, as favors of the Divine mercy, infirmities, tribulations, and misfortunes of the present life, so that the vicissitudes of this our exile will not render us cold in the service of God, but will render us always more faithful and more fervent.  Amen.

Faith in the Real Presence

Saturday, July 05, 2008

Dear Friends,

“I lift up my eyes toward the mountains; whence shall help come to me?

My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

The Lord is your guardian; the Lord is your shade; he is beside you at your right hand.

The sun shall not harm you by day, nor the moon in the night.” Psalm 121, 1 – 2, 5 – 6

We continue to have perfect weather with the sun shining the whole day and the temperature staying between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. There is no humidity and there is often a nice little wind to keep everything cool. One can sleep very well without putting on the air-conditioner. Today we have the same temperature and the sun is shining.

I had a healing Mass last evening and a good crowd was present from Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and there were some people from New York State and from Montreal. Some had copies of Dom Forker’s new book, “Roses in December.”

This book has plenty of information on Our Heavenly Mother including a chapter on Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. One can get a copy of the book in many of the Catholic bookstores. They are even in our Catholic Bookstore in Charlottetown.

Faith in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist

I continue to refer to the lovely little book of Dr. Bob Rice on the Holy Eucharist. On page 69, he asks this question: “Do you believe that Jesus Christ is truly present in the Holy Eucharist? Are you reverently discerning the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ? Do you believe that the same power that was with Jesus 2000 years ago is present in the Eucharist today? Do you need a touch from the Lord today? Do you believe that God wants to heal you today?”

Dr. Bob gives us a quotation from 1 John 5, 14 – 15: “…have this confidence in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, we know that what we have asked him for is ours.”

The author asks another question: “Is it God’s will that you be healed? I believe most emphatically that it is God’s will that you be healed and set free from all your sickness and disease.” The third letter of St. John chapter two says, “Beloved, I hope you are prospering in every respect and are in good health, just as your soul is prospering.”

Also Isaiah 53, 5 says, “But he was pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins. Upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole, by his stripes we were healed.”

Let us thank the Lord for the wonderful gift of the Holy Eucharist and let us believe in the Real Presence with all our hearts.

Father Melvin

P.S. I prayed for you and all my friends at the Healing Mass last evening. God bless you all.

Medjugorje Day By Day July 05 - I OFFER YOU  HAPPINESS

"There is no need for many words in order that we may pray properly.  By faith we believe that there, in the sacred Tabernacle, the good God is present.  We open our hearts to Him.  We rejoice that He has admitted us into His presence.  This is the best method of prayer." (St. John Vianney)

Mother Teresa  -

Love one another as I have loved you. As the Father loves me, love one another. "

Meditations by Padre Pio -

The most beautiful credo is the one that bursts forth from your lips in the dark, as a sacrifice, as a suffering, as a supreme effort of an infallible will to do right; this is what dispels, like a flash of lightning, the gloom of your soul, it is what leads you to God in the fury of the storm (CE 57).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Only God can promise and provide perfect bliss!

"In all human love it must be realized that every man promises a woman, and every woman promises a man, that which only God alone can give, namely, perfect happiness.

One of the reasons why so many marriages are shipwrecked is because as the young couple leave the altar, they fail to realize that human feelings tire and that the enthusiasm of the honeymoon is not the same as the more solid happiness of enduring human love."

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

O my Jesus, You are the life of my life. You know only too well that I long for nothing but the glory of Your Name and that souls come to know Your goodness. Why do souls avoid You, Jesus?-I don't understand that. Oh, if I could only cut my heart into tiny pieces and in this way offer to You, O Jesus, each piece as a heart whole and entire, to make up in part for the hearts that do not love You!

I love You, Jesus, with every drop of my blood, and I would gladly shed my blood for You to give You a proof of the sincerity of my love. O God, the more I know You the less I can comprehend You, but this "non-comprehension" lets me realize how great You are! And it is this impossibility of comprehending You which enflames my heart anew for you, O Lord.

From the moment when You let me fix the eyes of my soul on You, O Jesus, I have been at peace and desired nothing else. I found my destiny at the moment when my soul lost itself in You, the only object of my love. In comparison with You, everything is nothing.

Sufferings, adversities, humiliations, failures, and suspicions that have come my way are splinters that keep alive the fire of my love for You, O Jesus.      (57)

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.

July 5 - I OFFER YOU HAPPINESS

I Offer You Happiness Our Lady speaks of joy today:

Dear children, tonight your Mother joins you in your happiness and joy. I would like to offer you happiness. I would like to give you love, so that you can extend this love to others. I would like to give you peace, so that you can give this peace to others, so you can extend it especially to families where hatred exists.

Dear children, I would like all of you to renew family prayer. I would like you yourselves to encourage others to renew this prayer. Your Mother will help you. (Visonary Prayer Group Message 10-17-88)

In Luke's gospel, Jesus brings great joy to a widow:

When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, "Do not weep." Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, rise!" The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. (Luke 7:13-15)

Reflection:

The widow's situation was serious. She had lost her husband, and now her only son, her last means of support, was dead. The crowd of mourners would go home, and she would be left penniless and friendless.

She was probably past the age of childbearing and would not marry again. Unless a relative came to her aid, her future was bleak. She would be an easy prey for swindlers, and she would likely be reduced to begging for food. In fact, as Luke repeatedly emphasizes, she was just the kind of person Jesus came to help—and help her he did. Christ has the power to bring hope and even joy out of tragedy.

Application:

Like the widow who's son was raised to life, Our Lady also wishes us to experience deep joy in Christ. Today, pray that you may live the Virgin's messages so as to realize in your life the happiness and peace the world cannot give, but only the Son of God.

Message to Louise June 28,2008


HYPERCRITICAL
MESSAGE VIA. L. V+J
June 28, 2008- - -9:10 A.M.

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

Then Father God spoke, "Tell My people to WAKE UP, LISTEN, OBEY for the hour for all to begin IS NOW!

There is absolutely NO time to dally. Either you ARE prepared or you will not be, for today ALL IS tainted. You have gotten rid of Me, your ONLY God, to follow all that is against Me, all that is evil; you are content to follow and obey Satan.

You see many floods, wars, droughts, bad food, contaminated water, extremely high prices yet, you continue to sin and to ignore My every word.

All major catastrophes are punishment for YOUR sins, YOU AND YOU ALONE are the cause of the earthly catastrophes! Evil men love you for you have disregarded Me so now he, Satan, has full control of your mind, thoughts, actions. He is now your king, the one you bow before, worship, follow as your leader.

Quickly now My hand WILL FALL and I WILL ALLOW severe attacks to befall ALL
mankind- -everywhere!

Amen I tell you-PRAY, for the hour is here! Return to Me! I alone am your
Savior, your Redeemer, your God!!! In this hour WAKE UP or you may have eternal death as your reward!!!

Look and see as your earth IS SPIRALING downward to its own destruction.  AMEN, I, your Eternal God, has spoken and My word IS TRUTH!!!"

NOTE: Again God the Father is repeating His words that all has begun because so few are listening to His warnings and words of preparation.

We are disobedient, disloyal and ungrateful to Thee.
We have excluded Thee from our homes, our schools, our places of business.
We are no longer worthy to be called Thy children.

Forgive us!
Save us from the scourge we deserve.
Teach us Thy law, and move our wills to serve Thee today and everyday.

New Message From Jesus for Thursday Adoration, July 03, 2008There is no darkness Jesus cannot conquer


The Sacred Heart Of Jesus Takes Away The Darkness


Today I spent an hour alone with Jesus in adoration and thanking Him for
His very many blessings. After making small offerings to Jesus and Mary, I prayed for all with special needs and intentions.



On my knees, I prayed; Speak Lord (if it be Your will), Your servant
listens. Jesus responded to my heart and I began to see a darkness with many lights surrounding a hear.

Then I hear His voice saying, My Sacred Heart will be there even for those lost in the darkness if they pray to My Sacred Heart. I love you as I love all My children. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen

BLACK SAINTS OF THE DAY

 

MARY of Egypt , Maria Aegyptica . The sunrise of my life came in 344 A.D. I left home at 12 spending 17 years of my youth entertaining, whether it was by music, dancing, or in prostitution. My family was wealthy.

But wanting to be on my own, I left it for Alexandria, Kemet. But through the grace of God, I was called to Christianity, after visiting Jerusalem, the places where Yeshua Maryam, and the apostles walked and talked, the Palestine Holy Land at a memorial service there, called the Exaltation of the Cross, I pressed through the crowds to get a good place in the Church.

But a mysterious force did not allow me to enter it. I could not pass the doorway. I became overwhelmed with grief for my life’s activities up to then. I spiritually asked Maryam for her blessing,help and remedy. An interior locution (voice) told me to go beyond the Jordan River.

That a voice told me go to the desert, which I did immediately. I became a hermitess, and for 50 years practiced that in repentence, living on herbs and berries from the l Now one day a holy man, Zosimus from Palestine, and a friend of God came to visit. He informed me he would return in a year.

When he returned, I had died, in 421 A.D. A lion with its paws, helped him dig my grave. Zosimus wrote of me. My day of memorial ,3, April. If the Greek Rite, it is 1 April.

Mary, a consecrated virgin and nun, Saturninus and Felix, lectors. Toddler Hilarion (Hilarianus) martyrs. We were children of Saturninus the priest, at Abitene, Africa Proconsularis.

Healing through the Holy Eucharist

Friday, July 04, 2008

Dear Friends,

"How good God is to the upright; the Lord to those who are clean of heart!

But, as for me, I almost lost my balance; my feet all but slipped,

Because I was envious of the arrogant when I saw them prosper though they were wicked.

Yet with you I shall always be; you have hold of my right hand." Psalm 73: 1 - 3, 23

We had a mostly sunny and warm day yesterday but it was windy. This morning the sun is shining bright and the wind died down during the night.

A very nice book has just been published in the USA. It is called "Roses in December" and it was written by Dom Folker. There is a chapter on Our Lady of Prince Edward Island.

I continue today with the book of Dr. Bob Rice. He has a beautiful prayer, which we can all profit by praying every time at Mass. Here is the prayer:

"Lord, I come to You broken, sick, afflicted and in need of healing from (name your sickness.) I know and believe that You are truly present in this Holy Eucharist and that Your power to heal me is also present in this Eucharist as well.

Please Lord, grant unto me the desire of my heart. Heal me Lord of this (name your sickness.) And now Lord, as I receive you in this Holy Eucharist, I come to you with expectant faith, receiving my healing. I thank You, Lord. I praise You, Lord, and I love You. Amen."

You should believe that you will be instantly healed. It is a fact though that often healing takes place over a period of time. You could be healed now when you pray, but you might have to pray this prayer for a time before you will see that you are totally healed. Dr. Bob gave the example of a person who has some sort of sickness or disease and he goes to his medical doctor.

After diagnosing the problem the doctor might write him a prescription for three times a day for thirty days. He is not instantly healed with the first pill. He must take the whole prescription before his body recovers completely.

Being healed through prayer may be the same way. The healing may start the first time you pray, however, it could take time before you see the fullness of the healing. So, if one is not healed instantly, he should not be discouraged but he should keep coming back to the Eucharistic Jesus at Mass and bring his petition before Him until he has his complete healing.

Let us praise the Lord for all He does for us. He wants each one of us to be His friend. Let us never stop coming to prayer every day to express to Him our love.

The Real Presence

Thursday, July 03, 2008

Dear Friends,

“All you peoples, clap your hands, shout to God with cries of gladness, For the Lord, the Most High, the awesome, is the great king over all the earth. He brings peoples under us, nations under our feet. He chooses for us our inheritance, the glory of Jacob, whom he loves.” Psalm 47:2-5

I will be home now for all of July and August. I will have a Healing Mass at the prayer room tomorrow July 4 at 7:30 p.m.

The Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist

Dr. Bob Rice’s little book on the Holy Eucharist is very informative for those who do not know the doctrine on the Holy Eucharist. Here is a passage from his book:

“When I became aware of the real presence of Christ, two things occurred. First, I fell in love with Jesus all over. Secondly, the Mass began to make sense to me. Every part of the Mass is important in its own special way.

The reading of God’s Word and preaching are important for many reasons including the fact that God confirms His Word with signs. ‘But they went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.’ (Mark 16, 20)

You might not think so, but even the offering is important. The Third Epistle of John (vs 2) says, ‘Beloved I hope you are prospering in every respect and are in good health, just as your soul is prospering.’ How can God prosper us if we do not give Him anything to work with?”

A bit further, Dr. Rice asks this question of those who attend Mass, “Are you discerning the Lord’s Body at that moment? Before I became aware of the real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist, God only knows what I was thinking about at this most important part of the Mass.

However, now I really get excited at this part of the Mass and I watch every move the priest makes. When he prays the prayer of faith that changes the bread into the Body of Christ, I find myself bowing before the Body of Christ and saying, ‘My Lord and My God.’ As he raises the cup and prays, I find myself saying, ‘Behold the Blood of the Lamb that takes away all sin, sickness and disease.’”

* That people wear the medal of Our Lady of America

From Jesus - "I am the resurrection and the life, and unless souls seek their life in Me, they will find only death and destruction. ..God is light, man is darkness, and unless he comes into the light, he will be forever darkness. The Voice of My Heart is the Voice of Mercy. If man will not listen, there is no more I can do."
(May 22, 1954)

From Mary - "See, I weep, but my children show me no compassion. They behold the sword in my heart but will make no move to withdraw it. I give them love; they give me only ingratitude. "

"Weep, then, dear child, weep with your Mother over the sins of men. Intercede with me before the throne of mercy, for sin is overwhelming the world and punishment is not far away."
(Dec. 20, 1959)

From Mary - "My child, I come again for men have not changed their lives. Their sins cry to heaven for punishment. I hold out help, they will not receive it. I show them the way to peace, but they only spurn the efforts of my love. It is late sweet child, oh how late!"
(June 25, 1967)

2 revelations:

The protector of America is The Archangel Sardus

The protector of the U.S.A. is The Angel Sultra

From Mary - "You must try to make my people understand that the life of God within them is the source of their peace and happiness. There is no other way. This is what my Son came to teach and bring and it was for this He lived and died. Unless this mystery of God's Presence within is accepted and lived, peace will not come. It is the only way, believe me, daughter."
(July 18, 1980)

From Mary - "Beloved daughter, the United States is a small one among nations, yet has it not been said that 'a little child shall lead them'? It is the United States that is to lead the world to peace, the peace of Christ, the peace that He brought with Him from heaven in His birth as man in the little town of Bethlehem...

Dear child, unless the United States accepts and carries out faithfully the mandate given to it by heaven to lead the world to peace, there will come upon it and all nations a great havoc of war and incredible suffering.

 If, however, the United States is faithful to this mandate from heaven and yet fails in the pursuit of peace because the rest of the world will not accept or co-operate, then the United States will not be burdened with the punishment about to fall."
(Nov. 22, 1980)

From Mary - "Dear child, the danger is imminent, there is no time to lose. Tell my faithful ones who are working so diligently for my cause that I am most grateful but urge them to do all in their power to continue even in the midst of sacrifice and suffering. They will not be alone in their struggle.

Myself, with the holy angels, will be always with them to help, fight and encourage. Get this message to them quickly as the time is shorter than ever."
(Jan. 23, 1981)

From Sr. Neuzil - "It is evident that the Forces of Evil are enveloping the world. Their hatred, however, is now particularly focused on the United States because of the Divine Mandate given to it to lead the world to peace."

From Angel Sultra - "If the people of this Land carry out faithfully the instructions and pleadings of the Lord Jesus and the Virgin Mother, then they will be following me to the hour of peace. With this sword of the Divine white flame of Love and the lightning bolts of His infinite Justice, God will strike down His enemies and heal the repentant sinner. This Nation and all who follow in the pursuit of peace will know the protection of God and the destruction of those who fight and seek to destroy them through the evil powers of the infernal spirits of darkness and hate. Follow me, people of God, brothers and sisters, as our Queen paves the way and the peace of the Lord will reign once more upon the earth."
(Aug. 22, 1981)

From Archangel Sardus - "Listen to the words and warnings of the Queen of Heaven and you will experience my protection and I will fight in your defense that with the people of all Nations you can at last come to the peace of the Kingdom which is within you."
(Aug. 22, 1981)

From Mary - "My faithful one, if my warnings are taken seriously and enough of my children strive constantly and faithfully to renew and reform themselves in their inward and outward lives, then there will be no nuclear war.

What happens to the world depends upon those who live in it. There must be much more good than evil prevailing in order to prevent the holocaust that is so near approaching.

Yet I tell you, my daughter, even should such a destruction happen because there were not enough souls who took my warning seriously, there will remain a remnant - untouched by the chaos who, having been faithful in following me and spreading my warnings, will gradually inhabit the earth again with their dedicated and holy lives.

These will renew the earth in the power and light of the Holy Spirit. These faithful ones of my children will be under my protection and that of the Holy Angels, and they will partake of the life of the Divine Trinity in a most remarkable way.

Let my children know this, precious daughter, so that they will have no excuse if they fail to heed my warnings.

Be at peace, dear one, I will never leave you."
(Jan. 3, 1984 - final message)

From Sr. Neuzil - "From this final message, I received the very strong impression that Our Lady was telling us that She had done everything She could do to help and warn us. Now it was up to us. Whatever happens we will have brought on ourselves so whatever we decide and do now is our responsibility. Our Lady, however, will not forsake us because we are Her children and She loves us."

 
PRAYER TO THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

O Immaculate Mother, Queen of our Country, open our hearts, our homes, and our Land to the coming of Jesus, your Divine Son. With Him, reign over us, O heavenly Lady, so pure and so bright with the radiance of God's light shining in and about you. Be our Leader against the powers of evil set upon wresting the world of souls, redeemed at such a great cost by the sufferings of your Son and of yourself, in union with Him, from that same Savior, Who loves us with infinite charity.

We gather about you, O chaste and holy Mother, Virgin Immaculate, Patroness of our beloved Land, determined to fight under your banner of holy purity against the wickedness that would make all the world an abyss of evil, without God and without your loving maternal care.

We consecrate our hearts, our homes, our Land to your Most Pure Heart, O great Queen, that the kingdom of your Son, our Redeemer and our God, may be firmly established in us.

We ask no special sign of you, sweet Mother, for we believe in your great love for us, and we place in you our entire confidence. We promise to honor you by faith, love, and the purity of our lives according to your desire.

Reign over us, then, O Virgin Immaculate, with your Son Jesus Christ. May His Divine Heart and your most chaste Heart be ever enthroned and glorified among us. Use us, your children of America, as your instruments in bringing peace among men and nations. Work your miracles of grace in us, so that we may be a glory to the Blessed Trinity, Who created, redeemed, and sanctifies us.

May your valiant Spouse, St. Joseph, with the holy Angels and Saints, assist you and us in "renewing the face of the earth." Then when our work is over, come, Holy Immaculate Mother, and as our Victorious Queen, lead us to the eternal kingdom, where your Son reigns forever as King. Amen. (200 days)

 
PRAYER TO THE INDWELLING MOST HOLY TRINITY

O my Love, my only Good, Most Holy Trinity, I adore You, hidden in the depths of my soul. To You, to Your honor and glory, I dedicate my life. May every thought, word and deed of mine be an act of adoration and praise directed towards Your Divine Majesty enthroned in my heart.

O Father, Infinite Goodness, behold Your child, clothed in the likeness of Your Son. Extend to me Your arms that I may belong to You forever.

O Son, Divine Lord, made man, crucify me with Yourself that I may become, in union with You, a sacrifice of praise for the glory of Your Father.

O Holy Spirit, Fire of Everlasting Love, consume me on the altar of Divine Charity, that at the end of life, nothing may remain but that which bears the likeness of Christ.
O Blessed Trinity, worthy of all adoration, I wish to remain in spirit on my knees, to acknowledge forever Your reign in me and over me, to Your everlasting glory.
Through the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the pure heart of St. Joseph, I consecrate my life to Your adoration and glory.

At the moment of death, receive me, O my Triune Love, that I may continue my adoration of love through all eternity. Amen. (200 days)

Archbishop Raymond L. Burke issues canonical letter opinion on Our Lady of America.
The Most Reverend Raymond L. Burke, Archbishop of St Louis, a world renowned canon lawyer, has issued a letter opinion on Our Lady of America. In his letter dated May 31, 2007, he reviews the history of Our Lady of America and the actions of former Cincinnati Archbishop Paul F. Leibold approving this devotion. From Archbishop Burke:

What can be concluded canonically is that the devotion was both approved by Archbishop Leibold and, what is more, was actively promoted by him. In addition, over the years, other Bishops have approved the devotion and have participated in public devotion to the Mother of God, under the title of Our Lady of America.

As such, devotion to Our Lady of America had been completely and fully canonically approved by Archbishop Paul F. Leibold and confirmed by other Bishops, leaving no question as to the status of this apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Sister Mary Ephrem (Mildred Neuzil) which began 1956.

The Our Lady of America Center wishes you a Blessed and Holy Independence Day.

Please offer your prayers in thanksgiving for our great nation, so much in need of the graces merited by Our Lady of America.

The Real Presence

Thursday, July 03, 2008

Dear Friends,

All you peoples, clap your hands, shout to God with cries of gladness, For the
Lord, the Most High, the awesome, is the great king over all the earth. He
brings peoples under us, nations under our feet. He chooses for us our
inheritance, the glory of Jacob, whom he loves. Psalm 47:2-5

I left for the USA on Tuesday morning on June 24 with Ceo and Amanda, two great
friends of mine. We drove to Maine where we stayed at wonderful friends. The
next day, June 25, I gave a day of recollection for a group of people and I had
a Healing Mass in the afternoon.

The next day we drove to Connecticut to visit
my four first cousins. And I went for the eight time to My Father's House to
give a retreat from the 27th to the 29th of June. There were nearly one hundred
people on Saturday.

I had a Healing Mass there on Saturday evening. We went back
to Stratford, CT, on Sunday afternoon and we stayed two days with my cousins
again. On Monday night I had a Healing Mass at St. Theresa's Church not far from
Stratford. I arrived back home last evening.


I will be home now for all of July and August. I will have a Healing Mass at the
prayer room tomorrow July 4 at 7:30 p.m.

Mark Mallett Losing Fear

http://www.markmallett.com/blog/?p=722

YES, we must find joy in the midst of this present darkness. It is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, and therefore, ever-present to the Church. Yet, it is natural to be afraid of losing one’s security, or fearful of persecution or martyrdom.

Jesus felt this human quality so intensely that He sweat drops of blood. But then, God sent Him an angel to strengthen Him, and Jesus’ fear was replaced by a quiet, docile peace.

Herein lies the root of the tree which bears the fruit of joy: total abandonment to God.

He who ‘fears’ the Lord is ‘not afraid.’ —POPE BENEDICT XVI, Vatican City, June 22, 2008; Zenit.org 

THE GOOD FEAR

In a rather significant development this spring, the secular media began to discuss the idea of stockpiling food and even buying land for the coming economic crisis. It is rooted in genuine fear, but often in a lack of trust in God’s providence, and thus, the answer as they see it is to take matters into their own hands.

Being ‘without the fear of God’ is equivalent to putting ourselves in His place, feeling ourselves to be masters of good and evil, of life and death. —POPE BENEDICT XVI, Vatican City, June 22, 2008; Zenit.org

What is the Christian response to this present Storm? I believe the answer does not lie in "figuring things out" or in self-preservation, but self-surrender.

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

In this abandonment comes the "angel of strength" that each of us needs. In this resting upon the shoulder of God next to His mouth, we will hear the whispers of what is necessary and what is not, of what is wise and what is imprudent.

The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the LORD. (Prov 9:10)

He who fears God feels interiorly the security of a child in the arms of his mother: He who fears God is calm even in the midst of storms, because God, as Jesus has revealed to us, is a Father who is full of mercy and goodness. He who loves God is not afraid. —POPE BENEDICT XVI, Vatican City, June 22, 2008; Zenit.org

HE IS NEAR

This is why, dear brother and sisters, I urge you to cultivate an intimacy with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Here we find that He is not so far away after all. While it may take a lifetime to gain an audience with a president or even the Holy Father, it is not so with the King of kings who is there for you each moment of the day. Few, even in the Church, understand the incredible graces which await us there at His feet.

 If we could only catch a glimpse of the angelic realm, we would see angels bowed continuously before the Tabernacle in our empty churches, and we would be immediately moved to spend as much time as possible with Him there.

Approach Jesus then with the eyes of faith, despite your feelings and what your senses tell you. Approach Him with reverence, awe—a good fear of the Lord. There you will draw upon every grace for every need, for the present and the future.
 

In coming to Him in Mass or in the Tabernacle—or if you are at home, meeting Him in the tabernacle of your heart through prayer—you are able to rest in His Presence in a most tangible way. This does not mean that human fear ceases immediately, just as Jesus prayed three times His prayer of abandonment in the Garden before the angel was sent to Him.

Sometimes, if not most times, you have to persevere, the way a miner digs through layers of dirt and clay and stone until he finally reaches a rich vein of gold. And above all, cease to wrestle with things beyond your strength, and abandon yourself to God’s hidden plan presented to you in the form of a Cross:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, on your own intelligence rely not. (Proverbs 3:5)

Abandon yourself to His silence. Abandon yourself to not-knowing. Abandon yourself to the mystery of evil which seems to confront you as if God did not notice. But He does notice. He sees all things, including the resurrection which will come to you if you embrace your own Passion.

INTIMACY WITH GOD

The sacred writer continues:

…knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. (Prov 9:10)

The knowledge spoken of here is not facts about God, but an intimate knowing of His love. It is a knowledge born into a heart which surrenders into the arms of the Other, the way a bride surrenders to her groom that he may plant within her the seed of life.

The seed God plants in our hearts is Love, His Word. It is a knowledge of the infinite which in itself leads to an understanding of the finite, a supernatural perspective of all things. But it does not come cheaply. It only comes by laying down upon the marital bed of the Cross, time and time again, letting the nails of suffering pierce you without fighting back, as you say to your Love, "Yes, God. I trust you even now in this most painful circumstance." From this holy abandonment, the lily of peace and joy will spring.

He who loves God is not afraid.
 

Can you not see already that God is sending you an angel of strength in these times of the Great Storm—a man dressed in white, carrying the staff of Peter?

"[The believer] knows that evil is irrational and does not have the last word, and that Christ alone is the Lord of the world and life, the Incarnate Word of God. He knows that Christ loved us to the point of sacrificing himself, dying on the Cross for our salvation.

The more we grow in this intimacy with God, impregnated with love, the more easily we will defeat every kind of fear. ——POPE BENEDICT XVI, Vatican City, June 22, 2008; Zenit.org

Medjugorje Day By Day July 04 - INDEPENDENCE DAY

"Kneeling in this way [adoration] is the bodily expression of our positive response to the real presence of Jesus Christ, who as God and man, with body and soul, flesh and blood is present among us" (Pope Benedict XVI).

"How could I, who am so weak and half-hearted, live without this Eucharistic food?" (St. Padre Pio)

Mother Teresa  -

Jesus loved and still loves the unwanted and the unloved. He loves them deeply. He died for them, and He doesn't stop saying:

Padre Pio -

A lively faith, blind belief and complete adherence to the authorities constituted by God over you; this is the light that illuminated the steps of the people of God in the desert, and this is the light that always shines in the tip of those souls who are acceptable to the Father. This is the light that led the Magi to adore the newly-born Messiah (Letters III p 404).

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

What goes up must come down!

"Almost all moments of high sensible exaltation are followed by a period of depression. This is particularly true in any experience which has to do with the flesh. Drunkenness is followed by the hangover, excesses by disgust, the dream stage of opium by disenchanting depression. The body cannot sustain continued pleasure. Even tickling can turn into pain."

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

O God, how much I desire to be a small child. You are my Father, and You know how little and weak I am. So I beg You, keep me close by Your side all my life and especially at the hour of my death. Jesus, I know that Your goodness surpasses the goodness of a most tender mother.      (242)

O my Jesus, delight of my heart, You know my desires. I should like to hide from people's sight so as to be like one alive and yet not living. I want to live pure as a wild flower; I want my love always to be turned to You, just as a flower that is always turning to the sun.

I want the fragrance and the freshness of the flower of my heart to be always preserved for You alone, I want to live beneath Your divine gaze, for You alone are enough for me. When I am with You, Jesus, I fear nothing, for nothing can do me harm.      (306b)

Jesus, You know how ardently I desire to hide so that no one may know me but Your sweetest Heart. I want to be a tiny violet, hidden in the grass, unknown in a magnificent enclosed garden in which beautiful lilies and roses grow.

The beautiful rose and the lovely lily can be seen from afar, but in order to see a little violet, one has to bend low; only its scent gives it away! Oh, how happy I am to be able to hide myself in this way!

O my divine Bridegroom, the flower of my heart and the scent of my pure love are for You. My soul has drowned itself in You, Eternal God. From the moment when You Yourself drew me to Yourself, O my Jesus, the more ardently I have desired You.      (591)

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.

July 4 - INDEPENDENCE DAY

Independence Day Appropriately, Our Lady speaks of freedom today a great gift of God to his people:

Therefore, little children, I desire that your decisions be free before God, because he has given you freedom. Therefore, pray so that, free from any influence of Satan, you may decide only for God. (Monthly Message 11-25-89)

And in John's gospel, words of freedom from Christ:

Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." (John 8:31-32)

Reflection:

As we see in the words of Christ and Our Lady today, freedom is first and foremost a gift from God. In its fundamental form, it is an intrinsic and inalienable right of every human being.

Since gaining its own freedom, America has had both the honor and the cross of defending it throughout the world, notably during the two World Wars and the Cold War. These were moments of glory for the United States, and we pray that its influence in the future will continue to be one of justice, liberty, and the inalienable rights of all people.

Application:

Today, simply offer this Prayer on Independence Day:

Heavenly Father, like the Israelites of old, our ancestors in the faith, our country has struggled long and hard to be free and to keep its freedom as a nation. It too has met with success and failure in trying to achieve its goals. As we ponder the strengths of America, may we also strive to eliminate her weaknesses, whether they be social, political, or economic.

Today we reflect on the teachings of your Son who brought us a message of peace and freedom and taught us to love as brothers and sisters. His message took form in the vision of our founders as they fashioned a nation where people might live as one with the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

May this legacy live on in our midst as a task for people today and a promise for tomorrow. Thank you for all your past blessings and, with your help, for all that we will achieve in the future. Amen.

True Heavenly Messengers Soon to be Silenced

Message to Louise (1)

May 8, 2005

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

Then God our Father spoke, "The silencing of My true messengers is soon to be a reality!  False messages will then dominate the scene.  All will be put to the test and all must discern.

One who is the commander will put this idea before all world leaders.  It will be accepted.  Yet I will continue to speak to My own -- in your heart.  You have My word in Scripture plus all the messages given over the years many of which ARE approved by My Church.  Reread them.

It is time to realize the power of evil!  You must believe however, that I, your God, am stronger than satan and all his forces combined.  I will never leave My own but you must pray constantly and be consecrated always to Me.

This worldwide command will soon be announced and each of My true messengers will then be notified.  Do not be fearful!  Do not be anxious for this is all part of the Father's plan.  He has told you all you need to know and stated all that you must do.  Trust and believe in Him!  Put your faith in action.

I will rain down many graces upon My faithful ones.  I will indeed strengthen you.  I will give you deep peace -- NOT as the world gives.  I will lead you and continue to instruct you.  I will protect you and send my Angels to guide you.  My love will comfort you.  My Mercy and Love will fill you and My graces will sustain you.    
  

Amen -- dear ones -- THIS DAY IS NEAR!"

 An Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Abyss of Mercy and Source of every grace and blessing, I consecrate and unite myself to You without exception or reserve - all that I am and all that I have, both temporal and spiritual, past present and future, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, your Mother.

I leave myself entirely at Your disposal with complete confidence in Your Mercy and Love and I beg You to look upon this offering of my nothingness before You and to use me for Your own glory, for the honor of Your Mother and for the salvation of souls. Help me to seek You alone in all things. Hide me in the shelter of Your Most Sacred Heart and be my only Consolation and Refuge.

Grant me the graces I need to joyfully accept Your Cross daily, to lead a holy life and to die a holy death in Your service. Help me to trust completely in Your Mercy and Love and never to fear to humbly throw myself before the infinite Ocean of mercy which is Your Most Sacred Heart, especially at those times when I may fail in my faithfulness in Your service.

Through this weak and miserable instrument, may Your Mercy, Love, glory and power shine forth. Above all, set my poor heart on fire with the Flame of Love which burns in Your Most Sacred Heart, and teach me how to return love for Love. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me - for I place all my trust in You.

THE TRIUMPH, THE SECOND COMING AND THE EUCHARISTIC REIGN
by Fr. Stefano Gobbi
June 24, 1996

Brother priests, we are priests chosen for the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This is why Our Lady made the Marian Movement of Priests arise within the Church. She has chosen us priests to be part of this Movement, so that we may be instruments of the triumph of her Immaculate Heart in the world. But in order for us to become instruments for the triumph of her Immaculate Heart, Our Lady must triumph in our lives. To be able to triumph, she asks us to consecrate ourselves to her Immaculate Heart, so that she can enter into our priestly lives as our Mother and work to transform us and to make of us, ever more, priests according to the Heart of Jesus. When she sees us similar to her Son Jesus, then her Immaculate Heart triumphs in us.

In order to help us on this journey, she asks us to gather in cenacles, so that the Holy Spirit may transform us. She molds us through her messages, and by means of these she helps us live our consecration to her Immaculate Heart so that this Heart may triumph in our lives. Then, as It triumphs in us, we become the instruments of the triumph of her Immaculate Heart.
This reflection leads us to today's second meditation. Where does her Immaculate Heart triumph? Her Immaculate Heart triumphs only in the glorious triumph of Christ.

This is a meditation I want to make, but I am a little apprehensive since this is a new theme. I myself was surprised to discover how Our Lady has revealed this to us in her messages. [This is] a theme on which perhaps, humanly speaking, I was not prepared, since this aspect was never a part of my theological studies; that is, the triumph of the Immaculate Heart comes about with Jesus' return in glory. Brother priests, this is stated clearly by Our Lady; it is clearly and forcefully affirmed in her last messages. I looked through the first messages in order to find out when Our Lady first mentioned this theme, and I realized that indeed she mentions it from the very first messages - from the very beginning.

Let us look at one of them: On December 24, 1975 - twenty-one years ago . . .
 

Our Lady says:
"Do not fear: as my Heart has given you the Savior, so now in these times my Immaculate Heart gives you the joy of his salvation. Soon the whole world, which is pervaded with darkness and which has been snatched from my Son, will at last rejoice over the fruit of this holy night. The triumph of my Immaculate Heart will be realized through a new birth of Jesus in the hearts and the souls of my poor wandering children. Only have confidence, and do not let anxiety or discouragement take hold of you. The future that awaits you will be a new dawn of light for the whole world, now at last made clean." (89m-p)

This theme is again taken up and further clarified in the message of December 24, 1978. It continues through-out [the book], and the last messages go on to repeat the same theme; therefore, we cannot deny it. We must try to deepen our understanding of it, to know it well ourselves so that we are able to explain it to others who will ask us about it. We must be ready to give witness - as the Pope says - to the hope that is in us.

This message from Our Lady [December 24, 1978] is precisely about his Second Coming.
"His second coming, beloved children, will be like the first. As was his birth on this night, so also will be the return of Jesus in glory...

The world will be completely covered in the darkness of the denial of God, of its obstinate rejection of Him and of rebellion against his Law of love. The coldness of hatred will still cause the roadways of this world to be deserted. Almost no one will be ready to receive Him.
The great ones will not even remember Him, the rich will close their doors on Him, while his own will be too busy with seeking and affirming themselves...

'When the Son of Man comes, will He still find faith on the earth?' (Lk 18:8) He will come suddenly, and the world will not be ready for his coming. He will come for a judgment for which man will find himself unprepared. He will come to establish his kingdom in the world, after having defeated and annihilated his enemies.

Even in this second coming, the Son will come to you through his Mother. As the Word of the Father made use of my virginal womb to come to you, so also will Jesus make use of my Immaculate Heart to come and reign in your midst…" (166e-i)

At this point, brother priests, I ask myself: Our Lady spoke of the 'triumph' of her Immaculate Heart. Strangely, she used this word - 'triumph' - in a century in which everything possible would be done against 'triumphalism' in the Church. Our Lady uses the word 'triumph'. She does not use 'joy', she does not use 'comfort', she does not use 'consolation' - but 'triumph'. Triumph is not only fullness of joy; triumph is a joy that comes from a great victory - this is triumph. When the great Roman condottieres won, they entered [the city] to receive their triumph; therefore, the triumph of the Immaculate Heart implies the idea of a great victory of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

But I ask myself: this is the Heart of a Mother. Where can the Immaculate Heart of Mary - the Mother - obtain her triumph? Only in the triumph of her Son. If the Son does not triumph, the Heart of the Mother does not triumph. Since the triumph is the culmination of a great victory, only when Christ obtains his great victory will the Immaculate Heart of Mary triumph. And Christ will obtain his final and great victory with his return in glory. So now I understand why, in her messages, Our Lady says: "The triumph of my Immaculate Heart will coincide with the return of Christ in glory."

But how should we interpret this return of Christ in glory? I would like to read to you a few words from the introduction [of our book]: "In reading this diary, which for many priests has already become a book for daily reflection, each sentence must be accepted with discernment; that is, according to the true meaning that is derived from the whole context.

Let us consider, for example, Our Lady's advice to give up newspapers and television. For some, this may be interpreted literally. For many priests, it means, rather, not wasting precious hours following programs that are frivolous and tendentious, and refraining from reading world events as interpreted in a materialistic sense, on the part of much of the present-day means of social communication. (…)

Another example can be found in the frequent expressions, that at first sight can leave us uneasy, in which it is affirmed that the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary coincides with the coming of the glorious reign of Christ. These expressions are, of course, to be interpreted in the light of what is taught in Sacred Scripture (Rev 20:1-7) - (and here we should entrust our-selves to the expert… ) - and to the authentic Magisterium of the Church. In this regard, let us keep before our eyes the frequent references which, in his first encyclical, "Redemptor Hominis" and in other important documents, Pope John Paul II makes concerning the Church of the second Advent which awaits the second coming of Jesus." (Preface - To the Priests, Our Lady's Beloved Sons - pg. xlii)

Traditionally, we have always identified the return of Christ in glory with the 'Parousia', when He will come as Judge, since there has never been any in-depth theological study on this topic. This is also the case for other truths which are believed, but about which no in-depth studies have ever been made. Of late, these messages which refer to Christ returning in glory to this world have given rise to a more serious theological study on this subject.

A few years ago when I was in Spain, a priest, a theologian, gave me a book to have translated into Italian - unfortunately, I lost it somewhere along the way. In it, he showed how Sacred Scripture and the Fathers of the Church speak clearly of a glorious coming of the reign of Christ into this world, apart from the one at the end as Judge!

Let us look at Sacred Scripture. Some passages therein are clearly of an eschatological nature - that is, they speak of the Last Judgment. In one of them, the Lord says: "You gave the hungry to eat, the thirsty to drink, you clothed the naked, you visited [the sick]. You who have done this to me - to my right. And you who have not done this - to my left." (cf. Mt 25: 35-41). This is the Judgment. It clearly refers to the Judgment. At the end, the conclusion is: "Come with me, blessed, into my Kingdom! And you, go to Gehenna!" This is the judgment - heaven or hell. Time is no more; the world is no more. But some passages of Sacred Scripture speak clearly of Christ's return on this earth. I would like to point them out briefly.
First is the one I mentioned before: "When the Son of Man returns, will He still find faith on the earth?" (Lk 18:8). In order to find faith on earth, He must return on earth, brother priests! But with the Last Judgment, the earth will be no more. There is only Judgment, and there is only heaven and hell - the world will have disappeared.

And then once again, when He stood before Caiaphas [Fr. Gobbi says 'Pilate', but it is evident that he means Caiaphas, the High Priest] who asked him, "Are you the Son of God?" He answered, "Yes, I am, and you will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven in the splendor of his glory". (cf. Mt 26:64)

And when Jesus ascends to heaven, the angels say: "Galileans, what are you doing? Just as you have seen him ascend, so too will you see him return in the splendor of his glory, on the clouds of heaven." (cf. Acts 1:11) Therefore, He will return to this world upon the clouds of heaven.

And also significant, brother priests, is the passage I mentioned before. (Rev 20:1-7) It talks about a great persecution. Many will be killed during this persecution, but in the end the power of Satan will be destroyed, because Satan will be bound with a chain and will be cast into the abyss. Then Scripture says: "The door of the abyss will be closed so that he may no longer harm the world." (cf. Rev 20:3) Therefore, his power is destroyed! Then, some of those who died during the persecution will rise again to reign with Christ. This is Scripture, not 'fanta-theology' [imaginary theology]!

This will be the first resurrection, because the second one regards everyone. The first regards only some who died as martyrs, who will rise again to reign. The second will regard everyone - some, to reign; others, to be damned after the Last Judgment. Actually, Scripture says, "to reign for a thousand years" - 'a thousand years' is a biblical term; it can also be a symbolic expression. However, aside from the specification of time, a fact is clearly described: Christ will reign after the power of evil has been destroyed, because Satan will be rendered powerless. This is Sacred Scripture.

What does the Magisterium of the Church say? Brother priests, I would like to read to you a few passages concerning what the present Pope says, to affirm that, in addition to Sacred Scripture, we are in perfect accord also with the Magisterium of the Church. The [first] quotation is from a speech that the Pope made when he was in Edmonton [Alberta], Canada, on September 17, 1984, ("Osservatore Romano", September 27, 1984). The Pope says at the end of his speech: "May the God of peace be with us, here in Canada and everywhere. May justice and peace kiss once again at the end of the second millennium, which is preparing us for Christ's coming in glory."

Then in Denver in August 1993, at World Youth Day, the Pope said at the end of the vigil [August 14]: "The young people of the Eighth World Youth Day thank You from the bottom of their hearts. Maranatha! Here, from Cherry Creek State Park in Denver, from this gathering of young people from all over the world, we cry out to You: Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus!"
(cf. Rev 22:20)

The following day, August 15, 1993, the pope concluded his homily with the following: "This pilgrimage must continue - it must continue in our lives; it must continue in the life of the Church as She looks to the Third Christian Millennium. It must continue as a new advent, a moment of hope and expectation, until the return of the Lord in glory. Your celebration of this World Youth Day has been a pause along the journey, a moment of prayer and of refreshment, but our journey must take us even further, even to the return of the Lord in glory!" This is what the Pope said.

And finally, the last quotation is from January 15, 1995, during World Youth Day in Manila. The Holy Father said: "This is your responsibility, your call - everywhere: in Europe, in Africa, in the Americas, in Australia - everywhere! May God, who began this work of evangelization among you, the people of the Philippines, 400 years ago - for others, many centuries ago, some earlier, some later - bring it to completion on the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ! You know what the Day of the Lord is, according to Scripture, don't you? This is my conclusion, my heartfelt wish for all of you - the conclusion on the glorious Day of Our Lord Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ! Amen." These are the Pope's words.

Brother priests, I think then, that on this theme as well we are in full accord with Sacred Scripture and with the teaching of the Church. We must indeed open ourselves to this new perspective. I was told that the following question was addressed to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith: "Is the return of Christ in glory to be interpreted as his return for the Last Judgment, or rather on this earth?" The answer was as follows: "The Church has never taken an official stand on this subject, therefore one can interpret either way." I have shown you the reasons for which, according to Scripture and according to the teaching of the Church, we tend to support the second interpretation - that the return of Christ in glory will take place on this earth. (Applause).

At this point it is appropriate to ask ourselves: what will this return consist of? How many elements will it have? There are so many - all of them most wonderful. I want to speak to you about these elements. First of all, when Christ returns it will be a glorious manifestation of his Being ; therefore, let us all discard certain childish interpretations of some exalted visionaries - and by the way, the fact that some priests may get caught up in this is a real pity - who say: "Yes, it is Jesus who returns in glory - he has appeared there; he is living in such and such a person…!" Ridiculous! If He is returning in glory - He has already come in his physical nature - it is a glorious manifestation of Christ.

Brothers, let us try to understand: what does 'return' mean? Christ is in heaven; He is returning because, in his human nature, He has already come. He is returning in a relative sense, since, with his divinity, Jesus is already present in the Eucharist. He is returning insofar as He will manifest Himself to this world in a glorious way and will bring his Kingdom to this world. Therefore, his Coming will coincide with the union of several elements:

1.  At last, the prayer of the 'Our Father' which Jesus taught us will be fulfilled; it will have its perfect completion. The Divine Will will be fulfilled in a perfect way by all creatures, thus bringing forth the Kingdom of the Divine Will upon this earth.

            At last, the prayer of the 'Our Father' which Jesus taught us will be fulfilled; it will have its perfect completion. The Divine Will will be fulfilled in a perfect way by all creatures, thus bringing forth the Kingdom of the Divine Will upon this earth.

Jesus, in the 'Our Father' which you taught us… dear Jesus, we have been repeating it for two thousand years… you teach us that prayer is infallible - it always obtains results. What did you teach us to ask for? 'Our Father, who are in heaven, sanctified - glorified - be your name. Your Kingdom come; your Will be done...' Brother priests, the Father was glorified when He created the universe; the devil has obscured this glory of his by means of sin. With the redemption, Christ - the historical Christ - redeems us by means of suffering; and the mystical Christ must walk along the same path of suffering so that [each one] may personally cooperate with the great gift received in redemption. However, the definitive victory of Christ over Satan took place with his resurrection; and so the definitive victory of Christ, when He returns in glory, will consist in completely destroying the power of Satan in this world, so that this world will be able to receive his Kingdom, and once again glorify the Father in a perfect way, as it was at the beginning of creation. Therefore, the advent of Christ in glory will coincide with the greatest glorification of the heavenly Father.

'Your Kingdom come!' But listen…do you think that after two thousand years in which this invocation has been repeated throughout the world - 'Your Kingdom come, Your Kingdom come…' - that at the end, this Kingdom of Christ will not come? It will come! - for the perfect glorification of the Father. And as the Kingdom of Christ comes, all creatures will be led to fulfill the Divine Will in a perfect way, because the first to prevent us from doing the Divine Will was Satan. What was Satan's victory in the earthly paradise? To lead our first parents to make a choice that was contrary to the Will of the Father - to the Will of God! "You may eat from all [trees], except from this one…" (cf. Gen 2:16-17). And then the serpent came, that accursed serpent… But she will crush his head - do not worry! The Pope said: 'Her offspring - Christ in her, Mary in Christ, the mother united with the Son, the Son united with the Mother.' Therefore, dear Mother, I am pleased that you will crush the head of that huge serpent. Crush it!

In the end, the power of Satan will be destroyed because he will be rendered powerless! Being bound, he will no longer be able to do harm; he will no longer be able to lead creatures to say 'no' to the Will of the Father, because creatures will say 'yes' to the Will of the heavenly Father. In this perfect fulfillment of the Divine Will, creation will return almost to its original state - to a new earthly paradise, in which all creatures will say 'yes' to the Will of the heavenly Father.

There is a mystic, Luisa Piccarreta, whose cause for beatification is in progress, who wrote great works about the Divine Will. When I was in Mexico, I was given some of these writings which relate to numerous aspects described in our book [To the Priests…]. I was im-pressed by them - I should read the exact text to you, but I don't have it with me today. It says that every two thousand years there has been a great renewal. Two thousand years after creation there was the deluge of water. Two thousand years after the deluge of water, there was the deluge of blood: the redemption. After two thousand years there will be the deluge of fire - a spiritual fire, I think - and finally, the Kingdom of the Divine Will will come upon earth, because every creature will fulfill the Divine Will in a perfect way.

And so, I think that this return of Christ in glory will be able to bring the Kingdom of the Divine Will into the world, and each creature will be able to do the Will of the Father in a perfect way, and the Father will be glorified by these children of his who say 'yes' to his Will; and Christ will bring about his Kingdom - a Kingdom of holiness and of docile obedience to the heavenly Father.
Brother priests, this [Kingdom of the Divine Will], however, is not possible if, after the victory obtained over Satan, after having removed the obstacle because his [Satan's] power has been destroyed*...this cannot happen, except by a most special outpouring of the Holy Spirit: the Second Pentecost.

*Here Fr. Gobbi opened a brief parenthesis: (Evidently, our weakened human nature will remain even with Christ's return in glory. It is not the weakness of our nature that is destroyed - destroyed is the power of Satan, which exercises a strong influence over the weakness of our human nature. Yes, in fact, by our human nature we are inclined to sin, but today everything drives us toward sin - the atheistic and pagan civilization in which we live, the influences coming from the mass media, which are all the abode of evil! Today the world is the dwelling place for the evil one! The evil one exercises a very powerful persuasive action, and so there are temptations, seductions, bad examples - everything leads us toward evil, because these [evil influences] exercise their power. But tomorrow, once this power is destroyed, everything will help us to go toward that which is good. So, our weakness remains, but it will be greatly helped to walk the path of good, in a way which is totally opposite to how it is today, when, because of Satan, it is influenced to walk along the path of evil. But hearts, souls, must be renewed [by a most special outpouring of the Holy Spirit: the Second Pentecost].) 

2.  It will coincide with the Second Pentecost.

            The Second Pentecost, about which our bishop spoke today. He gave a wonderful homily, comparing Elizabeth, the Precursor [St. John the Baptist] and Mary. He said: "Our Lady is the first Precursor of the Second Advent." And I am even more pleased, knowing that this bishop is the president of the association of all Catholic universities in the world!

Then, fire will come down; the Holy Spirit will descend - tongues of fire, spiritual tongues! Understand that the Second Pentecost, as the bishop said this morning, is not an invention of Don Stefano [Gobbi]. Pope Paul VI, John XXIII and the current pope have prophetically spoken about it. Why the second [Pentecost]? Because the first already took place in the cenacle of Jerusalem, and it transformed the apostles and the disciples to such a point that some thought: "Are they drunk at nine in the morning?" The second will take place on a worldwide scale; it will descend upon the whole world, not only on the cenacle! It will transform the hearts and the souls of all, and all will sing joyfully to the Lord, so much so, that perhaps the angels of heaven will ask themselves: "Are they drunk at nine in the morning?"

Brother priests, [Jesus' return in glory] will coincide, then, with the miracle of the Second Pentecost, which will renew…[souls]. But do you understand that, by bringing the gift of the renewal into souls, it brings the gift of salvation?

I will read to you the message of Pentecost given on June 4, 1995: "Tongues of Fire."
"- Tongues of divine fire will bring heat and life to a humanity which has now become cold from egoism and hatred, from violence and wars. Thus the parched earth will be opened to the breath of the Spirit of God, which will transform it into a new and wondrous garden in which the Most Holy Trinity will make its permanent dwelling place among you.
- Tongues of fire will come down to enlighten and sanctify the Church, which is living through the dark hour of Calvary and being stricken in her pastors, wounded in the flock, abandoned and betrayed by her own, exposed to the impetuous wind of errors, pervaded with the loss of faith and with apostasy.

The divine fire of the Holy Spirit will heal her of every malady, will purify her of every stain and every infidelity, will clothe her again in new beauty, will cover her with his splendor, in such a way that she may be able to find again all her unity and holiness, and will thus give to the world her full, universal and perfect witness to Jesus.

Tongues of fire will come down upon you all, my poor children, so ensnared and seduced by Satan and by all the evil spirits who, during these years, have attained their greatest triumph. And thus, you will be illuminated by this divine light, and you will see your own selves in the mirror of the truth and the holiness of God. It will be like a judgment in miniature, which will open the door of your heart to receive the great gift of divine mercy…" (546d-g)

3.  It will be the greatest miracle of the divine mercy - the triumph of Jesus' merciful love - which will open the world to a new era, a new civilization, to finally know at last the civilization of love.

            This Second Pentecost will also coincide with the triumph of the merciful love of Jesus, the divine mercy that comes for us. "And then the Holy Spirit will work the new miracle of universal transformation in the heart and the life of all: sinners will be converted; the weak will find support; the sick will receive healing; those far away will return to the house of the Father; those separated and divided will attain full unity.

In this way, the miracle of the Second Pentecost will take place. It will come with the triumph of my Immaculate Heart in the world…" (546hi)

It coincides with the Second Pentecost and with the triumph of the divine mercy because, brother priests, by the work of the Spirit of love, all will be led to salvation. Our Lady has indicated this again in the message which I read to you this morning - "The Triumph of my Immaculate Heart" (December 19, 1973): "...At the very moment when Satan will be enthroned as lord of the world and will think himself now the sure victor, I myself will snatch the prey from his hands. In a trice he will find himself empty-handed, and in the end the victory will be exclusively my Son's and mine.

This will be the triumph…" - I have told you that triumph equals victory - "of my Immaculate Heart in the world." (29g) And so you understand now, how once all have returned to salvation, they will breathe the air of the Kingdom of God in our midst, and it will be a kingdom of holiness and of justice, of purity, of love, of joy and of peace. Then, once the influence of him who is a murderer by definition is removed - the one who, opposing God, brings hatred, egoism, division, violence, war into the world - then once his power is destroyed, with God being among us, a new civilization will finally flourish: the civilization of the children of God who live in his kingdom - the new civilization of love.

4.  But, above all, the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the return of Christ in glory will coincide with the advent of the Eucharistic Reign of Christ.

            Imagine this! In this renewed world, where the Father is glorified, where Christ manifests his reign, where the will of creatures reflects that of the Father, where the Holy Spirit has renewed the people, where the prodigy of the divine mercy is fulfilled - in this world the Eucharistic Christ will be able to explode with all of his divine power! Brother priests, we believe that Christ is present in the Eucharist with his glorious body and with his divinity, on this earth as He is in heaven; it is only the veil of the species that keeps us from seeing Him, but his presence is the same.

And so I ask myself: how is it that in heaven Jesus is the bliss and the joy of all the blessed, yet here on this earth, where He is present in the Eucharist, He cannot explode with his power and become our joy and greatest beatitude? Why doesn't this happen? The Eucharistic Christ cannot manifest his power because of the obstacles we put in the way. For example, let's take atomic energy - it is an extremely powerful energy, extremely strong, which, however, cannot be released until we create the necessary condition - the fusion of the atom. If we create this condition, the atomic energy explodes.

And so I say that the power of the Eucharistic Christ is kept from manifesting itself by the obstacles we put in the way; and the obstacle is sin - individual sin, social sin, sin set as the norm of action. All of this sin is a rejection that we make; it is a barrier that we place, because of which the Eucharistic Christ cannot manifest his divine power. But when Satan is cast into hell, when the door of the abyss is closed and the power of Satan is destroyed, these obstacles will be removed.

Then will Jesus in the Eucharist explode. He will manifest Himself in all his power; we will see Him beyond the species; we will feel Him because He will work within us most powerfully as God, because in the Eucharist Jesus is present with the fullness of his divinity in our midst! And as God, He will then succeed in transforming our hearts; He will succeed in transforming souls; He will succeed in transforming families; He will succeed in transforming nations… In a message, Our Lady says that through her Immaculate Heart, universal peace will take place and the unity of the Church will be achieved. Finally, after so many years of division, and after so many (almost useless) efforts of ecumenism, the unity of the Church will be achieved and we will truly have the Eucharistic Reign of Christ within us.

Therefore, I would almost like to say: Jesus who returns and manifests Himself in glory unites with Jesus who is present in the Eucharist; and He will almost open wide the doors of the species, which still keep Him veiled to us, so that He may manifest Himself with his power and transform everything, forming at last the new heavens and the new earth. Therefore, the return of Christ in glory will also coincide with the great triumph of the Eucharistic Reign of Jesus.

Brother priests, I have humbly entrusted my reflections to you. I truly believe that what Our Lady tells us in these messages is true. Her Immaculate Heart cannot triumph except in the triumph of Christ, and Christ will obtain his greatest victory and his greatest triumph only when He brings his Kingdom into this world and the adversary is defeated. With what joy will the Heart of Jesus open to say: "Father, You are glorified at last!" With what joy will Jesus turn to us and say: "Finally, your food is to do the Will of my heavenly Father! Just as it was for me, so it is for you. My Kingdom is spreading in all of you, in the joy of fulfilling the Will of the Father alone, in each one of you, my brothers whom I have redeemed!"

The Holy Spirit will pour Himself forth, bringing this new Second Pentecost of grace and of holiness which will help everyone; sinners and those who are far away will find the way to salvation and will reach salvation, led by the merciful love of Jesus. At last, we will know the new civilization of love, for He who is Love-among-us, He who is in the Sacrament of the Eucharist to teach us to love one another to the point of becoming one - "Father, may they also be one in You and in Me, just as We are one" (cf. Jn 17:21)

Finally, all of his divine power will pour forth from the Sacrament of the Eucharist, and we will then know the joy of living, of savoring, of experiencing all the effects of the paradise which we will have with the triumph of the Eucharistic Reign of Jesus. We will be on this earth, yet we will be beyond it. We will not yet be in heaven - it will be a paradise on earth, which Our Lady is preparing for us through the triumph of her Immaculate Heart in the world. Praised be Jesus Christ!

Medjugorje Day By Day July 03 - LEARN TO BE GRATEFUL

 "Our Sweet Jesus, through the excess of His love, has left Himself to us in  the Most Holy Sacrament" (St. Philip Neri).

 St. Blase, Bishop and Martyr (Armenia) d. 316—Feast, February 3
Invoked for the healing of throat diseases, St. Blase wrote: "Father of mercy  and God of all consolation, graciously look upon me and impart to me the blessing which flows from this Holy Sacrament [The Eucharist].  Overshadow me with Your loving kindness, and let this divine Mystery bear fruit in me."

Mother Teresa  -

Jesus, you have given everything, life, blood, all. Now it is my turn. I put everything into the field also. The common soldier fights in the ordinary lines, but the devoted one tries to be near the captain to share his fate. This is the spirit of Christ.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

I bless God with all my heart who made me meet truly good souls, whom I also told that their souls are God's vineyard: The water-supply is faith; the tower, hope; the wine-press is holy charity, and the hedge is the law of God that separates them from the children world (Letter III p 591).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Keeping the fires of enthusiasm going can be an icy proposition

"Hearts would save themselves many sorrows if they knew better the psychology of human feelings. While there is much wisdom in the counsel of Emerson, 'Hitch your wagon to a star,' and to the need of wedding idealism to every ordinary task, there must also be a realization the enthusiasms cool.

Those who have been to the North Pole say that the ecstasy at reaching it was very much dampened by the long, weary Arctic winter, during which hidden weaknesses of men begin to appear. As fires died down, quarrelsomeness stole in."

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

To stay at Your feet, O hidden God,
Is the delight and paradise of my soul.
Here, You give me to know You, O incomprehensible One,
And You speak to me sweetly: Give Me, Give Me your heart.

Silent conversation, alone with You,
Is to experience what heavenly beings enjoy,
And to say to God, "I will, I will give You my heart, O Lord,"
While You, O great and incomprehensible One
     accept it graciously.

Love and sweetness are my soul's life,
And Your unceasing presence in my soul.
I live on earth in constant rapture,
And like a Seraph I repeat, "Hosanna!"

O You Who are hidden, body, soul, and divinity,
Under the fragile form of bread,

You are my life from Whom springs an abundance of graces;
And, for me, You surpass the delights of heaven.

When You unite Yourself with me in Communion, O God,
I then feel my unspeakable greatness,
A greatness which flows from You, O Lord, I humbly confess,
And despite my misery, with Your help, I can become a saint.      (1718)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 - July 3 - LEARN TO BE GRATEFUL

Learn To Be Grateful The Blessed Mother speaks of gratitude today:

Dear children, I wish to tell you to thank God for

all the graces he has given you. For the many fruits of his grace, praise the Lord and thank him. Dear children, learn to be grateful for all the little things, and then you will be able to give thanks for the great things as well. (Monthly Message 10-3-85)

From Ephesians, more on gratitude:

Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Eph 5:19-20)

Reflection:

Many years ago a wealthy family in England took their children for a holiday in the country. When the children went swimming in a pool, one of the boys began to drown. The other boys screamed for help and the son of the gardener jumped in and rescued the drowning one. Later, the grateful parents asked the gardener what they could do for the youthful hero. The gardener said his son wanted to go to college. "He wants to be a doctor," he said. The visitors shook hands on that. "We'd be glad to pay his way through," they told him.

When Winston Churchill was stricken with pneumonia after the Teheran conference, the King of England instructed that the best doctor be found to save the Prime Minister. The doctor turned out to be Dr. Fleming, the developer of penicillin. "Rarely," said Churchill to Fleming, "has one man owed his life twice to the same rescuer." It was Fleming who saved Churchill in that pool.

Application:

Today, give thanks in your own words for the Lord's saving grace, which rescues us continually from sin and despondency, freeing us to live in hope and freedom.

2 Visions to littlest of servants July 1, 2008

1)  As I was praying before the Blessed Sacrament before Mass in a pew I saw OUR
LORD standing by the pew I was in. HE has HIS hands tied together in front of
HIM, He was scourged, and was wearing the CROWN of THORNS.

HE then said to me that they were scourging HIM again, SACRILEGIOUS
COMMUNIONS. LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE BLESSED SACRAMENT, AND LACK OF LOVE FOR THE BLESSED SACRAMENT. HE then said Reparation, Reparation, HOLY HOURS, ADORATION, ROSARIES, DIVINE MERCY CHAPLETS.

2) Vision to Littlest of Servants July 1, 2008

While Kneeling at the altar in front of the BLESSED SACRAMENT I saw COUNTLESS
ANGELS PROSTRATE before the BLESSED SACRAMENT. There were so many I could not count them all.

Jesus Message to Patsy Soto July 2, 2008

July 2, 2008, Wednesday 3:35 pm

Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Savior, Redeemer, Reconciler of all
nations (I plead your most precious blood over the following words My Lord Jesus let
nothing be heard that is not of you)

My Beloved children I thank you all who have opened your hearts to have My
Novena For World Peace in your parishes, your homes, and as you have seen the
love I and My Almighty Father have shared at each one of these novenas, should
remind you to open your hearts to our call.

It is but a short time away when the United States will celebrate the day of
Freedom  with celebrations of joy and festivities. I desire all my children to have joy,
peace and freedom.

This My Beloved little one, is what most of the world does not understand, that unless God is placed in the hearts of all mankind and stop their evil choice for the freedom of their right to kill the innocence in the atrocity of abortion, their can be no real peace, no real joy.

They will bind the truth through the evil deception that God does not exist. Just as those who continue in their misconception that God will not bring down His Justice for the evil of abortion. Where was the Freedom of choice for the many of my aborted
souls who could not speak for themselves or for those that have a RIGHT TO LIFE
yet their parents are contemplating the evil atrocity of abortion.

These words have been spoken over and over and yet the evil atrocity of abortion still
continues on. *I spoke the words to My little one in a message given years ago
that if the killing of My Innocents did not stop, the example being sent to the
youth of the world was that killing was accepted and the youth would think
nothing of killing, IS THAT NOT WHAT YOU ARE SEEN NOW, SUICIDES, MURDERS,
ABORTIONS, CHILDREN KILLING CHILDREN, TERRORISTS COMPRISED OF CHILDREN WHO GO INTO CROWDS STRAPPED WITH BOMBS TO KILL AS MANY AS THEY CAN.

This is what you call freedom on this 4th of July 2008.

I am your Jesus of Mercy, whether you believe that your Jesus of Mercy would
come to you with these words to frighten or to warn or to beg, to plead for
Mercy for My Innocents, your prayers are needed not for My Sake My Children but
for yours.

Gather this fourth of July to beg for Mercy or go on as if you never heard these words it is your free will . I AM your Jesus of Mercy I will always love you even when you aren’t able to do what I ask of you I Am also Justice and Forgiveness

Open my little one to Ezkiel 3 in 3:11, God tells Ezekiel that his task is the same whether they listen or not.

Ezekiel  Chapter 3

11. Now go to the exiles, to your countrymen, and say to them: Thus says the Lord GOD!--whether they heed or resist!

Medjugorje Day By Day July 02 - A SONG OF LOVE

Mystical Body.  In the human body is a lymph flowing through the bloodstream, carrying a store of provisions which is tapped by each individual cell; supplying it not only with the food it needs, but also repairing its waste parts.
This flowing tide of sustenance passes by every door, displaying and offering its goods to its tiny cells, making them all one body because all are nourished by the same food" (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen).

"O God-Man present in this sacrament for me—what a comfort, what a privilege to know I kneel before God! And to think that this God loves me! . . . Mary, my mother, help me to love him in return." (St. Alphonsus Liguori)

Mother Teresa  -

The humbler the work, the greater should be your love and efficiency. Be not afraid of the life of sacrifice.

 Meditations by Padre Pio -

Give me and preserve in me that faith which makes me believe and work for your love alone. This is the first gift I present to you and, prostrate at Your feet, together with the Holy Magi, I declare with no human respect for the whole world, that You are our true and only God (Epist IV p 978).

 Archbishop Fulton Sheen  -

The test of time will measure true enthusiasm and zeal

"Decisions and resolutions taken during an enthusiastic moment mean little unless tested by time and by waiting. At the beginning of the public life of Our Lord, when many wished to follow Him, He refused to accept them: 'He knew what was in man.' The immediate request for places on the right and left side of the kingdom by James and John He ordered tested by the ability to bear sacrifice and to drink the cup of His Passion and Crucifixion."

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

On my way to the veranda, I went into the chapel for a moment. My heart was plunged in profound adoration, praising God's incomprehensible goodness and His mercy. Then I heard these words in my soul: I am and will be for you such as you praise Me for being. You shall experience My goodness, already in this life and then, to the full, in the life to come.      (1707)

O Christ, I am most delighted when I see that You are loved, and that Your praise and glory resound, especially the praise of Your mercy. O Christ, to the last moment of my life, I will not stop glorifying Your goodness and mercy. With every drop of my blood, with every beat of my heart, I glorify Your mercy. I long to be entirely transformed into a hymn of Your glory. When I find myself on my deathbed, may the last beat of my heart be a loving hymn in praise of Your unfathomable mercy.       (1708)

Today I saw the glory of God which flows from the image. Many souls are receiving graces, although they do not speak of it openly. Even though it has met up with all sorts of vicissitudes, God is receiving glory because of it; and the efforts of Satan and of evil men are shattered and come to naught. In spite of Satan's anger, The Divine Mercy will triumph over the whole world and will be worshiped by all souls.       (1789)

 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. 

 -

July 2 - A SONG OF LOVE

The foundation of the Medjugorje messages, and of the Christian life itself, is love:

Dear children, today I call you to a love which is loyal and pleasing to God. Little children, your love should bear all that is bitter and difficult for the sake of Jesus, who is love. And so, dear children, pray that God may come to your aid—but not according to your wishes, but in accord with his loving plans for you. Surrender yourselves to God so that he may heal you, console you, and forgive everything inside of you which hinders you on the way of love. In this way, God can mold your life and you will grow in love. Dear children, glorify God with a song of love so that his love may grow in you day by day to its fullness.

(Monthly Message 6-25-88)

Paul also emphasizes love as the one thing necessary:

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful, it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, hopes all things, endures all things (1 Cor 13:4-7)

Reflection:

Having discussed spiritual gifts earlier in his letter, Paul now focuses on the core of spirituality: love. No matter what gift a person has, if he or she does not express love in using that gift, then whatever is done is empty.

The greatest measure of spirituality is the extent to which Christ like love fills our lives. This is not a love that we can muster up within ourselves; it is a supernatural love given by the Holy Spirit. In this context, the Virgin could say to Jelena: "Pray unceasingly to Jesus, that he fill your heart with love." For Paul, our love is central to all that we do, for it is the foundation of spirituality. The more intimately we know and love Christ, the more love will grow in our hearts.

Application:

In her message today, the Madonna equates growth in love with surrender to God. This day, then, surrender yourself again to God (for surrender is an ongoing process, like conversion), so his love will take deeper root in your heart.

Medjugorje Day By Day July 01 - A SPECIAL DAY

"Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My mercy," Jesus told St. Maria Faustina of the Blessed Sacrament, "Adore, in the Blessed Sacrament, My Heart, which is full of mercy." "I want Adoration to take place . . .  for the intention of imploring Mercy for the world." (Divine Mercy Diary, 300, 1572, & 1070)

Mother Teresa   -

We stand before the world as ambassadors of peace by preaching the message of love in action that crosses all barriers of nationality, creed, or country.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

God does not want you to experience the feeling of love for Him and your neighbor in a perceptible manner… How fortunate we are to be held so tightly to our heavenly tutor! We need do no more than we are doing at present; that is to love divine Providence and abandon ourselves in His arms and heart.
No, my God, I desire no greater pleasure than my faith, my hope, my love; to be able only to say sincerely, even if sometimes without feeling, that I would rather die than abandon this virtue (Letters III p 425).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Burnout comes fast for those who are not sincere

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

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

When, during adoration, I repeated the prayer, "Holy God" several times, a vivid presence of God suddenly swept over me, and I was caught up in spirit before the majesty of God. I saw how the Angels and the Saints of the Lord give glory to God. The glory of God is so great that I dare not try to describe it, because I would not be able to do so, and souls might think that what I have written is all there is. Saint Paul, I understand now why you did not want to describe heaven, but only said that eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love Him [cf. 1 Corinthians 2:9; 2 Corinthians 12:1-7]. Yes, that is indeed so. And all that has come forth from God returns to Him in the same way and gives Him perfect glory. Now I have seen the way in which I adore God; oh, how miserable it is! And what a tiny drop it is in comparison to that perfect heavenly glory. O my God, how good You are to accept my praise as well, and to turn Your Face to me with kindness and let us know that our prayer is pleasing to You.       (1604)

Oh, how greatly I desire the glory of Your mercy-for me, bitterness and suffering! When I see the glory of Your mercy, I am immeasurably happy. Let all disgrace, humiliation and abasement come down upon me, as long as the glory and praise of Your mercy resounds everywhere-that's all that matters.       (1691)

July 1 - A SPECIAL DAY

Our Lady speaks of talents to Jelena's prayer group:

Each of you has a special gift which is your own, and can alone understand it interiorly. (Locutionist Jelena Message 7-85)

And in Romans, Paul urges the people to utilize their gifts: We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us:

prophecy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness (Romans 12:6-8)

Reflection:

Looking at Paul's list of talents, we can imagine the kinds of people who would have each gift. For instance, prophets are often bold and articulate; servers are faithful and loyal; teachers are clear thinkers; preachers know how to motivate others. Givers are generous and trusting, while administrators are good organizers and managers. Comforters are sympathetic and have a natural ability to listen. It would be impossible for one person to embody all these gifts. An assertive prophet would not usually make a good counselor, and a generous giver might fail as an administrator.

Once you have identified your own gifts (and Paul's list is far from complete), ask yourself how you can use them to God's glory. Aware that your gifts cannot do the work of your local church alone, give thanks for the people whose gifts are completely different from your own. Let your strengths balance their deficiencies, and vice versa, so that we can all build up Christ's church together.

Application:

Identify at least one talent that you can use in the Lord's service.

My children I love you. You are Light.

Dear children you live in a world enveloped in darkness. The enemy of salvation works unrelentingly to eclipse the Light of Truth with the Darkness of Death.

My dear children you were born children of Light through the waters of baptism. You are called to be light in the world and build the Kingdom of God, a civilization of love.

My little ones dispel the darkness of the culture of death with the light of God through continuous acts of love. Go and bear fruit in abundance.

Monthly message as given to Anne, a lay apostle

On the first of every month, Our Lord gives Anne a new message about His call to
service.

July 1, 2008

Jesus My heart never stops loving and not for a moment does My heart stop
craving love in return. I crave love from you, My dear apostle. You love Me, I
know. You serve Me with steadiness, I know.

What is it that Jesus wants from Me that I am not giving?, you ask. I will tell
you. I want you to show Me that you understand My love for you by trusting Me.
I am hurt when you do not trust Me. Look at your time of service. Would you
agree that I have provided you with everything you need to see to your part in
My plan? Would you agree that I have given you consolation when you were
afraid? Have I not guided you when you were unsure? What have I withheld from
you?

You are growing in holiness and I am answering your prayers for your loved ones
with heavenly prudence and steadiness. The part you are called to play in My
plan is important and I need your service but I would never ask you to serve to
the detriment of your holiness. If you are not increasing in holiness, My dear
apostle, it is because you are not allowing Me to direct you. Perhaps you are
increasing but not as quickly as you would like. That is another matter
altogether. It is for Me to decide how quickly to advance you. It is for you
to cooperate.

I am speaking today so that I can urge you forward. My apostles must be
willing to benefit from the guidance I am sending. You must sit in silence with
Me each day, asking Me where you can improve in holiness.

What habits are you holding on to that you need to relinquish? What new habits
should replace them?
Apostles, it is not to stand still that you are called, but to move forward in
holiness. This advance is necessary for these times or I would not be calling
you to it so seriously. I am looking for you to change. I want you to grow.
Many of you are saintly now, walking closely with Me in each day.

I rejoice in you, it is true. You know that I do. And yet, I allow you to
remain on earth, to work, yes, but also to become even holier. One of the ways
you can become holy in a short time is by trusting Me in everything.

A small child does not worry about one meal shortly after she has been fed
another. She trusts her parents to provide for her, particularly if she has
never gone hungry.

You, dear apostles, have never been without My providence so there is no reason
for you to fear. You can trust Me. I have proved this to you many times. I
desire that you serve in joy and confidence and only through trusting Me will
that be possible. Return My great love for you by trusting Me in everything.

"All of us can only stand before him and adore.  Even the authority of a priest must in the end be adoration, must spring from adoration and culminate in adoration.  And thereby something else becomes clear: Communion and adoration do not stand side by side, or even in opposition, but are indivisibly one" (Pope Benedict XVI).

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

 Mother Teresa 

I Thirst: "On the Cross Jesus said: `I thirst.' From the Blessed Sacrament Jesus continues to say to each of us: `I thirst.' He thirsts for our personal love, our intimacy, our union with Him in the Blessed Sacrament. His longing for us to be with Him in the Blessed Sacrament is infinitely greater than our longing to be with Him."

 Meditations by Padre Pio -

My Jesus, save everyone; I offer myself as a victim for everyone; strengthen me, take my heart, fill it with Your love and then command me to do whatever You want (AD 53).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

A compassionate man always has time!

"The truly compassionate and kind man who gives up his time for others manages to find time. Like the bread, miraculously multiplied, he gives, and yet he gathers up for himself more than he gave."

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

As I took the pen in hand, I addressed a short prayer to the Holy Spirit and said, "Jesus, bless this pen so that everything You order me to write may be for the glory of God." Then I heard a voice: Yes, I bless [it], because this writing bears the seal of obedience to your superior and confessor, and by that very fact I am already given glory, and many souls will be drawing profit from it. My daughter, I demand that you devote all your free moments to writing about My goodness and mercy. It is your office and your assignment throughout your life to continue to make known to souls the great mercy I have for them and to exhort them to trust in My bottomless mercy.      (1567)

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.

JUNE 30 - THE MIRACULOUS

Concerning the miracle of a fire that several hundred people saw burning on Mt. Podbrdo, but which did not consume anything, the Gospa said:

The fire seen by the faithful was miraculous. It is one of the signs -- a forerunner of the great sign. (First Year, 10-28-81)

In the gospel of Luke, we see the miraculous healing of a crippled woman:

Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And just then there appeared a woman with a spirit that had crippled her for eighteen years. She was bent over and was quite unable to stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, "Woman, you are set free from your ailment." When he laid his hands on her, immediately she stood up straight and began praising God (Luke 13:10- 13)

Reflection:

A striking miracle occurred in Medjugorje involving a forty-three- year-old Italian secretary and mother of three, Diana Basile. Multiple sclerosis had been diagnosed in 1972, along with total urinary incontinence, perineal dermatitis, blindness in one eye, difficulty in walking and, to compound matters, a severe clinical depression. In May of 1984, a friend persuaded Diana to join a pilgrimage group going from Milan to Medjugorje.

On the evening of May 23, she was in the church and a friend helped her to climb the steps to the side chapel where the apparitions were then occurring. From the records kept at the parish in Medjugorje, here are her own words:

At that point I no longer wanted to enter the chapel...but the door was opened and I went in. I knelt just behind the door. When the children came in and knelt down...I heard a loud noise. After that I remember nothing, except an indescribable joy and certain episodes of my life passing before my eyes as though on film.

When it was all over, I followed the children, who went straight to the main altar in the church. I was walking just like everybody else, and I knelt down just as they did. It didn't actually occur to me that anything extraordinary had happened, until my friend came up to me in tears.

Diana's cure had been instantaneous. Later that night she found that she was no longer incontinent, and the dermatitis had completely disappeared. Her right eye, useless for twelve years, had regained perfect vision. The following day she walked the six miles from her hotel in Ljubuski to the church in Medjugorje, and later climbed Mt. Podbrdo.

Application:

Today, offer a prayer of thanksgiving for the miracles at Medjugorje, which give witness to the world of the love of Christ and the Blessed Mother.

Messages to Carol Ameche June 1,21, 2008

June 1, after surgery.

"My dearest children, I am your Mother Mary. I cannot describe the joy you give
to Me every day, My little obedient ones. My little precious ones, hear the
voice of your Mother calling to you with words of love and gratitude for your
devotion.

At the beginning of each vacation, each summertime, My Jesus and I
remind you that Satan does not take vacations and neither must you. He is
working harder than ever to deceive you, to confuse you, to distract you, and
you must work with the same renewed strength in the protection of the Blood of
My Son that all My faithful ones may be renewed.

Give Me your disappointments. I will give to you new holiness, new understanding of how needy is the world. My children, every corner of the world is in the gravest danger. Pray for each other. You know the saying about the strongest chain is found in the weakest link. Pray for those who are weak, especially, My dear ones, those who do not
recognize their weakness, their selfishness, the focus on self that still
remains holding many of you captive.

All the words from Heaven, you have heard before. Do your best, My children. As
the time nears for the elections in this country, see this as a sign of change
for the entire world. I pour out safety upon each of you who prays in the whole
world. I pour out new patience.

Know that everyone in the world who waits is very near despair, but you are also more than ever the warrior you must become! Trust Me, children. Trust the Father. Reflect on all the words you have heard. Do not need signs. Need nothing save the Blood of My Son pouring from His Sacred Heart. Be at peace, little ones. Insist on living in peace. Insist on being joy.

Insist on loving. Be love, little ones! Thank you for listening. Remember My
presence with you. Amen, children. Huge changes await you. Amen." Carol Ameche

June 21st at prayer group

My dear faithful ones, I am your God and Father, here with you bringing joy,
increased trust and faith. It is a closer time than ever to the time you are
fulfilling the prophesies you have been gifen. I too long for the time when
everyone will see truth.

Those that have ridiculed you and given you grief will find out they are the ones who have been in error. Rejoice that these times are to be fulfilled shortly, and you are thinking, how many times you have heard these words.' I bring you more trust and the many gifts you need to have a stronger level of trust in Me.

Notice how many of Our loved ones are suffering terribly. Not for the sake of punishment, because our faithful ones have more trust and surity: deep conviction and solid belief in all the words Heaven has given you. Not new thoughts, but this degree of hope and trust is without equal in all of history. Even My own Apostles ran from the presence of soldiers and from the sight of the suffering of My Jesus.

Pray to the Apostles and disciples of My Jesus' day, for yourselves and for each other. Your trust is like that of  men going into battle knowing thoroughly about a battle plan, having total confidence in your commander-in-chief. You use wisely the gift of wisdom you  have been given: no longer wasting valuable prayer time wondering whether this or that will happen!

In the New Era, books will be written. Records will be made of the great valor
in which your marched forward, driven by grace, sustained by the might of My
arm, at peace, walking in the presence and holy company of each other and
millions of Angels world wide.

Ponder these words and this imagery to strengthen yourselves, to be assured of having everything you need. The middle of this country already suffers more than ever before. Pray for their courage and acceptance of all it means to live in flood conditions, the threat of severe illness, and praise and thank Me!

My dear one, I remind you once again: more  surrender develops (to His Will, I think...cta) as more is needed. Do not be   critical in your hearts and minds and certainly, not in your words. It is a sign of great arrogance to be critical and judgemental. When you hear yourself judge.... stop and give those thoughts and feelings and words to Holy Mother, dearest Mary. She will help you carry and let go of pride and foolish talk.

I tell you, a seasoned warrior spends his time becoming more familiar with the
leaders in your midst by praying for them and everyone's strength: a calm peace
in the hearts of all. You are My beloved children. You are loved and you are
ready! Amen, My children. I bless you in the Name of your Triune God: in the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We go forward every second now. Pray. Amen. I love
you." Carol Ameche

Message to Eileen Renders June 29,2008

After all the floodings, who would expect a wide drought in many States?
Jesus says this drought will be followed by disease. My discernment tells me that we are in the early beginnings of the Tribulation times.

Eileen

Please include the above discernment.

Could These Times Be The Beginnings Of The Tribulations?



At the 8:00 A.M. Mass at our parish, I made humble offerings to Jesus and
Mary and prayed for all those with special needs and intentions. After making An
Act Of Contrition, I received the Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharistic
Sacrament.

On my knees with both hands covering my face, I gave thanks first to Jesus
and welcomed Him into my heart. I asked Jesus to please cover me with His Sacred
Blood and prayed that He allow the eyes of my soul to only see that, which comes
from Him. And I prayed that He allow my heart only to hear those words that come
from His heart to mine.

Then I prayed; Speak Lord (always if it be His will), Your servant listens.

I saw darkness and inside the darkness a huge drain that covered the vastness of
my vision, and a very small trickle of water that emptied into that huge drain.

A few moments passed before Jesus spoke saying; There will be a drought followed
by disease, only then will the world acknowledge that I AM. I love you as I love
all My children. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for
your brothers and sisters. Amen

Vision to littlest of servants June 27, 2008

I was in Church after Mass and I was praying and I saw JESUS as HE is in HIS
DIVINE MERCY PICTURE.

HE spoke and told me that soon all mankind, each person, will see themselves as
GOD sees them. That as a result of this SHOCK many will suffer and some will
even die.

All will know at that time their eternal destination, HEAVEN, PURGATORY, OR
HELL. HE made it clear to me that this event is very, very close and that we
all need to PRAY HARDER. That this event will be difficult for everyone but
that it was necessary to change the direction of the world.

IT WILL BE THE GREATEST ACT OF DIVINE MERCY FROM GOD SINCE JESUS GAVE HIS LIFE  ON THE CROSS FOR US.

Old messages to Theresa

The messenger Theresa is someone who twice over the years has sent me messages
and then stopped without explanation.

Messages concerning the US President and the Anti-Christ.

Is this warning about Barrack Obama and Hilary Clinton?

November 6, 2005,

Sunday, Message from Jesus, At Adoration?

My child, I AM your Jesus and I speak My words now to your heart for all
mankind. Hear My words, My people of these United States, for just as the
betrayal of your Jesus will soon be complete, so also will the betrayal of
America be complete by one of your own in the highest office of this land.

Mince not words when the stakes are this high for the souls of men and the
souls of My people. Prepare, My tender ones, for Islamic rule and an Islamic
state once your Jesus is cast out and watch His closed churches be desecrated
and turned into mosques. Think not that this cannot or will not happen for I
have shown a vision to this messenger of exactly how this will occur and how
your own White House will be turned over to an Arab from Saudi Arabia and he
will proclaim himself the Prince of Peace and fool many.

Look not at this Anti-Christ, My little ones, for his gaze will be deadly and
the death he will incite will be the death of the soul. (Note that Our Lord has
warned us in several visions not to look at the Anti-Christ’s eyes, neither in
person nor on TV)

Believe not his lies to bring peace if you submit to him and his demonic denial of your Lord, for peace only is found in your Savior, Sweet Jesus. Submit not to Allah, My tender ones, the pagan god that rules by bloodshed, violence and desecration.

Think not that this is far off in the distant future, little ones, for I would
not write of it through My messenger were it not near and were it not imminent
that you know of these facts so you may steep your soul in My graces in order to
protect you from peril during the turbulent and frightening days ahead.

Just as the Lord comes as thief in the night so also the fiend, My archenemy,
comes as a thief in the night. Be on guard, My people. Be prepared and alert.
Have your lamps trimmed with the light of your Jesus and be ready and willing to
be persecuted for My sake. Deny Me not, gentle ones.

Better to submit to torture than deny your Lord and lose your immortal soul forever in the damnation of hell's fires. For I tell you, little ones, as sure as I AM your Jesus, many
will be fooled by this dark one and believe the Bridegroom of their soul has
come for the Wedding Feast.

Accept not his promises for a better day tomorrow by surrendering to Him today
for if you do, your tomorrow will be everlasting torment and you will never
enter the Kingdom of your God.

Fear not these words, little ones, but listen closely and take them seriously
for the hour is close at hand where the once free nation will forever be in
bondage because she has enslaved herself to sin and to the devil and his seed
through the atrocity of abortion.

You crucify Me daily, My tender ones, especially in these late term procedures in which you crush My skull and suck out My brains from a fully formed body ready to be born into the fullness of life. Repent, My people, I say Repent for your Judgment is near and the hand of God will move with a velocity and swiftness that will befuddle the mind and
overwhelm the senses.

You, who promote gay marriage as the equivalent of holy Matrimony and My blessed
Sacrament where two souls become one to journey on the path to My heart, hear
your Jesus calling you to amend your ways for not only are you destined for
hell's fires in your current state but you will be among the first to suffer in
the new regime under Islamic law which tolerates not your perverse and
disordered behavior.

Store the grace of Jesus in your hearts, My little ones, through prayer,
fasting, Adoration and the reception of My daily Eucharist. Cleanse your souls
often in the Sacrament of Reconciliation for soon My faithful priests will be
taken and many will be tortured and martyred.

Learn from them, My little ones, in case you meet with the same fate. Pray for their souls, sweet ones, that they bear up under their inhumane treatment and humiliation and that they remain inviolate in Me, their King.

Pay homage to no one, My people, but your Jesus. I leave you not no matter how
bad outer conditions may appear or become. Store the monstrance of My Real
Presence in your heart and know that I AM with you always. I love you, My
family. I AM your Jesus, your Savior and your God. Amen.

November 6, 2005, Sunday, Message from Blessed Mother, At Adoration

My child, I am your Mary; I am the warning of the Fatima prophecies reverberating within your soul; Be afraid not at the words of my Son, Sweet Jesus,
for the annihilation of entire nations has clearly been foretold.

Listen not to false leaders, my family, who will deny my Jesus yet who will promise happiness and peace; For such is a lie and a false prophet out to trap your soul into a devil's snare, from which once caught, you will never know release.

Go not near your TV's, my family, nor to your computer on which to the nation will be shown his image and his darkened face; For even his TV picture can draw you into his submission by which he hopes and plans to subdue the entire human race.

Cling only to your Jesus, my family, and around this dark one and his cohorts bind my Motherly holy Rosary beads; For without your Savior and His Sacred Heart, you will never reign victorious over the coming wave of darkness of Satan and his seed.
I love you, my family. I am your Mary, the Protectress of your soul. Amen.

November 6, 2005, Sunday, Message from God the Father, At Adoration

My child, I AM thy Heavenly Father, and on this same topic of treachery and betrayal, I too speak My words to thee; For many will justify their failure in the coming days
to stay true and tethered to My Jesus and to Me.

Think not that an excuse will suffice for your denial of My Jesus when I call you to account and your judgment day comes due; For expediency is not a just cause to forsake your Savior, and we likewise at heaven's gate will look at thee and say "We do not know you."

Be wise virgins, little ones, and with prayer and fasting, Adoration and My Sacraments keep your lamps forever trimmed; For with the precious oil of Jesus in your heart, My family, no matter how dark this sin-stained world becomes, your light will shine and
never dim. I love you, My family. I AM your Heavenly Father, your loving and just God. I
AM. Amen.

November 6, 2005, Sunday Message from St. Faustina, At Adoration

My child, I am thy St. Faustina;
I am the saint to whom our Jesus revealed His loving and merciful rays,
from which the fount of mercy will outpour His graces over all
in the coming trial and tribulation days.

Call on Him, my tender ones, through His Chaplet
through which anything in accord with His Will can be obtained;
For His mercy is endless and unfathomable and will be dispensed to all
who call during the coming horror of the pagan Islamic reign.

Call on me also, my tender ones, to intercede for you,
for in my life I walked with Jesus and shared all the steps of His persecution;
I know firsthand from my own experience that He will not forsake you,
but will die and rise with you in the nightmare of your coming crucifixion.

Cling to Him and Him alone, my family,
and let His mercy rays unfathomable caress you and arrest your daunting fear;
For at your darkest moment when defeat and peril seem assured,
is precisely when your victory in your Savior and His Mercy is ever near.
I love you, my family. I am your St. Faustina, the humble servant of the Mercy
of our God. Amen.

November 6, 2005, Sunday Message from St. Peter, At Adoration

My child, I am thy St. Peter;
I am the first pope and the Apostle by whom our Sweet Lord was denied;
Make not this same mistake, my little ones, when the dark one comes
to steal your soul with your own female president by his side.

Waver not in your faith as His disciples, my tender ones,
but be strong and proclaim His love and your undying devotion to His holy name;
Die for Him a martyr's death, my family, if you have to,
but forsake Him not for empty promises and a belief of false peace to obtain.

Call on me for strength, my tender ones, for by my mistake
I learned the lesson of a lifetime and grew in wisdom of the sages;
Grow in grace too, my loves, by your suffering and offer all in love to Jesus
for the sins by which He is offended, the sacrileges and outrages.

Bear it all for Him in humility and draw upon the stored graces
in your lamp by which your inner light will shine;
For by your perseverance and faithfulness to your Savior,
at your darkest moment, He will come for you, Sweet Jesus, Master Divine.
I love you, my family. I am your St. Peter, faithful Apostle of Our Lord.
Amen.

November 6, 2005, Sunday, Message from St. Padre Pio, At Adoration

My child, I am thy humble Pio;
I, too, am a disciple of our crucified and risen Lord;
And when you suffer and die for Him, my family,
is precisely when by Him, you are most adored.

Bear His wound marks in your heart, my little ones,
as I bore them on My hands and feet and even in My side;
Be crucified and die with Him daily so in the coming persecution,
you will not waver, and by you His name will not be denied.
I love you, my family. I am thy Pio, the humble servant of Our Lord. Amen.

Theresa is a servant of her Lord. Heavenly messages are given to her by Jesus,
Our Lady, Heavenly Father, the Paraclete and various saints. Our Lord, Our Lady
and God the Father have commissioned her to spread these words throughout the
world through whatever means available for the salvation of souls and the
upliftment of mankind to their heavenly goal.

Theresa is a Roman Catholic in good standing and has a spiritual director who
reads, discerns and approves all messages before they are disseminated to the
public.

May God bless all who read these messages and may He hold you in His everlasting
love.

Purgatory Here or Hereafter

From: My Daily Bread, Chapter 24

CHRIST'S VOICE:

     My child, do not expect to find peace until you have overcome a variety of troubles and opposition. If you say you cannot bear much suffering now, how will you be able to endure the purifying pains of Purgatory hereafter?

     The patient man finds a cleansing purgatory in this earthly life. When others wrong him he is more sorry that evil is done than that he had been wronged. He forgives the evil-doer from the bottom of his heart. He is not slow to ask pardon when he himself has hurt others. He is more easily moved to pity than to anger. He frequently disregards his feelings and tries to live above them, according to his intelligence and My grace.

 THINK:

     Either here on earth or hereafter in Purgatory I must make up for each fault I commit. Nothing tainted will be allowed to enter Heaven. I can purify my soul now by following the Words of Christ, my Redeemer. He gained for me the grace to conquer sin and error. Now I must do my part in living a holy life. If I refuse and die in venial sin, I'll have to make it up in Purgatory. If I die in mortal sin, I shall condemn myself to hell forever.

PRAY:

     My Jesus, you fulfilled Your Father's Will largely by Your patience during Your earthly life. Therefore it is only right that I, a miserable sinner, should be patient in my own daily life. Even though this present life may feel like a burden, still, by the help of Your grace, it is a great opportunity to earn heavenly merit. Your holy example and the lives of Your saints, make this life lighter and more bearable for those who take time out each day so as to see more clearly Your way to Heaven. Amen.

WORDS & VISION-DREAMS
via Dominique of France
 

(translated from French)
 

May 25, 2008

 
"Then afterward I will pour out my spirit upon all mankind. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions; Even upon the servants and the handmaids, in those days, I will pour out my spirit. And I will work wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, fire, and columns of smoke;

The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, At the coming of the Day of the LORD, the great and terrible day. Then everyone shall be rescued who calls on the name of the LORD; For on Mount Zion there shall be a remnant, as the LORD has said, And in Jerusalem survivors whom the LORD shall call." Joel 3:1-5

 
My little one, share these vision-dreams with all; they are inspired by Me. May each meditate them and draw lessons from them.
 

Jesus
 
This week I had two vision-dreams corresponding to the Times we are living in. The one of last night (May 24-25) showed a man in a movie: he, also, was like in a dream, and was becoming more and more conscience that he no longer had any restrictions, physical or moral laws, nor any limit to his desires.

He realized with surprise that he could now have it all, as if by magic: obvious message which the antichrist will give to humanity -- happiness without suffering nor sacrifice, here and now.

On waking I sensed that the doors of hell were now wide open with God's permission (one of the seals of the Apocalypse) and that the souls who will not unite themselves to our Lord will not be able to resist, for a time, to the desires of the flesh and to the temptations of the devil; desires which will lead astray more rapidly than before the forthcoming catastrophes, as per the announced predictions.

 
The first dream (several days ago) was a vision of a blue light descending to earth, penetrating men and all the kingdoms of creation to purify them, sanctify them. I awoke with pain especially around my heart but in a calm state with the revelation that, here also, this vision illustrated the great spiritual combat of our time, where those who followed the Holy Spirit would suffer more, and more consciously, this combat in order not to be taken in by the stronger seductions from hell.

The other souls -- more neutral and frail -- will be tossed about from one side to the other before making their choice. Thus, the invisible combat penetrates more and more the visible world which is our earth.

 
The End Times are upon us. Let us unite in prayer!

Teaching from Jesus through THE GIRL OF MY WILL IN JESUS -11-10-2003

Gathering of Love with God's Action in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada
Through His Instrument, the Girl of My Will in Jesus

2003-10-11


From a Redemptorist priest: I was asked to present the Girl of My Will in Jesus to you;
this is no small matter.

I would have to say that I got to know her through a few messages that Monique
Pepin had given me, then by speaking with her on the telephone and through
personal messages, then came the meetings in person.

I discovered the messenger who had allowed herself to be totally captivated by
The Love and solely by the love of the Father, of the Son, and of the Spirit,
and who transmits to us messages from The Love with complete docility and this,
not only through her writings and her words, but through her entire being, with
the simplicity of a child filled with wonder.

Through this witness, who has become the love of God through her yes, God comes
to reveal himself as a beggar after our hearts.

He tells us and tells us again that he is Love, the only Love, and that there
exists for us only one treasure: the one of our hearts emptied of all
possessions except for this thirst for The Love, who offers himself to us and
who burns with the desire to give himself to every person, to every one of his
children, and this, at absolutely no cost and without any merit on our part.

Love that expects nothing in return from us does this surprise you? except for
the offering of our hearts, for there is only one greatness to which we can
aspire: to allow ourselves to be surprised by the One who will never stop coming
to us so that we might become, we as well, men and women of the yes, completely
offered up to his love.

In this respect, the Girl of My Will in Jesus is a living inspiration to us.

This morning, during the matins prayer, I realized that it had been a while
since this text had struck me; it was the text on Wisdom this is how the Lord
gets to us and it seems to me that this is exactly what was needed for today.

He was saying to us:

Now with you is Wisdom, who knows your works and was present when
you made the world; who

understands what is pleasing in your eyes and what is conformable
with your commands.

Send her forth from your holy heavens and from your glorious throne
dispatch her that she may be with me

and work with me, that I may know what is your pleasure. For she
knows and understands all things, and will

guide me discreetly in my affairs and safeguard me by her glory.

It seems to me that this word of God wonderfully explains to us what she has
already accomplished within us.

This is what you bring as a witness and what becomes, for us as well, a pressing
invitation to say yes to this inexpressible love of God that comes to us today
through you.

Thank you very much, Girl of My Will in Jesus.


Jesus: I, the Son of God, I, the Word of the Father, I encompass all of you
within me.

I take you, I transform you into children who are active in me, the Son, in my
Divine Will.

Your abandonment, my children, becomes a reality to you; your abandonment takes
shape.

You perform deeds in me, the Son, and your deeds bear fruit.

Long ago, my children abandoned themselves through their deeds, wanting to carry
out God's Will.

They were submissive children who wanted to please God, who feared God.

I, the Son of God, in this very moment, in the present, I take you within me and
I create action, your action, so that your actions may be in my actions. It is
no longer you who live, it is I, the Son of God.

You, you live in my Life, you become active in me; this is my Father's Will;
this is living in divinity.

Renounce your human will, desiring to not carry out your actions in your will,
but in my Will.

This is the present that is alive, that guides you.

You are learning to die in Christ.

You are learning to give up your past life in order to dive into me, into the
Life.

Oh! My beloved, look all around you; there are actions that seem wonderful to
you; if these actions seem wonderful to you, it is because you live in me with
your joy.

I nourish your joy with my joy.

I take you within me and you discover what is happening externally:

You discover the joy of living, of being alive!

I am eternal Life, I have happiness within me.

Within you, this power does not exist in your will; within me, there is this
power in my Will

All is movement of love within my action for I, I carry out my Father's Will,
and only the Son can do my Father's Will.

And you, who abandon yourselves in my Will, you come to reap what my Father
gives to me.

You carry out my Father's Will: It is your abandonment that becomes a grace for
you, that grace that you could not have obtained on your own.

I, who gave myself up on the Cross, I took all your imperfections within myself,
I cleansed you with my Precious Blood, I showed you the path to follow, and when
you abandon yourselves in me, I take your human will and I cleanse it of your
imperfections at every moment.

This movement takes place in the present moment, in the Divine Will.

Understand, my children, that when I was on the Cross, I was taking all your
deeds: you were in me in the present.

I am the Presence, and at this very moment, you live in me in the present.

I am the Presence, there is no space of time within me.
Only you, you know the past.

The time before you seems so long to you, my children, that sometimes it seems
insurmountable whereas this time is in me.

You must enter into me.

When you pray, my children, and you pray while abandoned in my Will: your
prayers seem shorter to you; this is because you allow yourselves to be in me, I
envelop you in my Love: your movement becomes my movement of love; I bring you to a place of love where all is nothing but white, where no imperfections exist,
there is peace, there is joy, and we do not want to leave this state.

When you experience this moment of delight, you find this so wonderful that it
seems short to you.

And yet, this is the same amount of time as for another who prays with his human
will.

He prays without putting his heart into it: time seems long to him.

He shortens his time by thinking about what he has done and what he will do; he
forgets that I, I am praying with him: he is in his will.

I therefore cannot envelop him in my movement of love since he casts me aside,
but I watch over him knowing that one day he will come to dive into my Heart,
thus forming only one heart with my Heart, and I, with my Heart, I shall present
his prayers to my Father, he will feel joy.

You see, praying from the heart is a movement that only God the Son can bring
about.

I need your consent.

When my Mother asks you to pray with the heart: she is asking you to give your
yes; she is asking you to give me your life, to enter into me, to die in me: all
is joy within me.

Oh! Children of love, you have agreed to devote your lives to my Mother,

for my Mother is the fruit of our Will of love.

Even before she entered this world, even before she was born into this world, my
Mother was enveloped in our Will of love.

She pronounced her yes in our Divine Will.

We nourished her with our graces, we showered her with our blessings, we chose
her to be the Immaculate One.

This entire movement of love took place even before her birth on earth.

My Mother is in the present.

My Mother is always close to you, she is in me, in the Son, in the Presence.

What she did on earth is still present on earth with you, my children.

Her body and her life are with us in the Divine Will, and as we are within you,
she also lives within you.

She fills you with graces, she is the Benefactress of all graces.

You have, for the most part among you, experienced a week of joy consecrated to
my Mother.

She covered you with her mantle, she showered you with graces, and these graces
that you carry within you have also been for those you carry within you.

The entire earth was joyful this week.

I, the beloved Son of the Father, I am joyful, I cry out deep within you: Oh! I
love you. You, my children, you who have given me so much joy, you who have
enabled me to taste your yes of abandonment by going through my Mother, I love
you, I am jubilant!

Receive, my beloved, my gentle beloved, joys that are within me.

I am God, I give, I cannot stop giving: I am the Offering.

All within me is nothing but wonders, I am the Happiness, and you, my children,
you have experienced happiness this week.

You came, through your consent, to place your lives in my Mother?s hands so that
she might place your lives in my Life, in the Life of the Life.

I, the beloved Son of the Father, I come from the Life; I am in the Life and the
Life is in me: Eternal God is Life.

You cannot imagine life without thinking of God.

When my children think of living their lives without coming to die in me: they
lose precious time; they lose their own time, a part of their lives; they do not
realize that they are not accumulating graces, those graces which would show
them who they are, who I am within them.

Behold, my children, how wonderful this life is: it is like the bird that chirps
in the morning.

This song rises up towards us, and we, who hear these songs of love that we have
created, we enable you to hear them.

I am the Life within you who enables you to hear these songs from our creations.

And the children who are not present in me, in the Son, do not see the colours
that reveal themselves to them at sunrise; I, I greet these colours, for they
come from our beauty, from the beauty of the Father, from the beauty of the Son,
from the beauty of the Holy Spirit.

We cannot restrain ourselves and we show you the beauty that is before you.

It is the Life who is showing you this beauty because you are beginning to live
in me, in Christ, in complete abandonment.

You are beginning to see beauty; you are beginning to see with my eyes.

It is I, with my graces, who show you how good it feels to let oneself be
enveloped in my love.

The children who do not abandon themselves cannot see this beauty; they wake up
feeling embittered in the morning, searching for a way to bring beauty to their
lives; they think about what they are going to do; they think of everything they
have accumulated and all they could do to benefit from it, and they forget to
come into me, to die in me.

They are blind, they do not see the beauty that is free, the beauty that offers
itself to them at each glance.

I, I am the Nourishment of this action.

Oh! My children of love, I have done so much for you and I want to show you all
I have done throughout every moment of your lives.

I want to put joys within you that will make you discover all that surrounds
you.

Only the Life can do this, only the Life can nourish the life that is within
you.

I am the Source that flows in order to nourish you.

When you come to drink of this water, you are no longer thirsty for at every
moment, I enable this water, which nourishes you from the inside, to flow within
you; you are satisfied and I, I see to it that this water never stop satisfying
your thirst.

This is a movement of love; you become alive, tasting this divine movement.

Remember the Samaritan woman: she asked God, me, if she could taste this water.

I, I enable you to taste it, I enable you to drink it.

Within you, this water is sweet, it is flavourful, it has no aftertaste: it is
nothing but joy.

When you taste this joy, you taste happiness.

Remember also that when she left, she went to meet her brothers and her sisters;
she spoke to them of me, Jesus, who had spoken to her about everything she had
done, about everything she was going to have.

It was happiness that she was feeling, she had tasted happiness.

I, I am telling you that you are tasting happiness: It is already within you and
it is developing within you, it cannot be stopped.

This happiness can be found by multiplying it.

You are joyful, within me, in happiness, and those you carry within you are also
tasting this joy.

Do not forget, my children, that those who are watching you see externally what
is inside you.

They do not understand why they feel good, but this is happening and they like
it. Without really knowing what is going on, they are beginning, they as well,
to taste this happiness.

And yet, my children, you have done nothing, I am the one who does everything:
this is my Father's Will, this is abandonment, this is your life in my Life.

Oh! My joys, receive graces of love, graces of joy.

You are hearing my Father's Will, you are hearing words dictated by me so that
you may hear my Father's Will.

I am the Father's Action.

Do not be surprised that I use children so that you might be witnesses to my
Father's love.

It is my Father who wills it.

This time is a time of graces, a time of discovery for you.

Seize all that passes before you, take it and eat it.

As you came forward, you received, through the consecrated hands of my priest,
my Body, my Blood: you received the Word within yourselves. I, who am my
Father's Will, I am the Action: this is a movement.

Those who do not believe in the Eucharist, those who do not believe that I am
living, are failing the Life that is within them: and their own lives, they
cannot benefit from my action.

You who have come within me, Jesus, with abandonment, I have received you: I
enabled you to live my Life.

Because when I gave myself up on the Cross, I gave my Life to my Father so that
you could be mine, and when you come to receive me, it is I, my children, who
carry out that movement: it is I who receive you; I give myself through the
hands of the priest, and within you, I receive myself.

All is life, all is movement of love; this cannot be stopped.

Oh! My children, I know that you are familiar with these words, but give me your
surrender; I have so much joy within myself, I want to share this joy! My words
are divine, my words come from my Father's Will; only he knows what is good for
you.

I, who am in him, I do all he wishes, for such is my joy, such is the Father's
joy, and such must be your joy: giving, the gift of yourselves at every moment.

All that is must be done with joy; all that you think must be so with
abandonment in me, Jesus; and if there is imperfection within you, surrender
everything: remain joyful, for I nourish you with my Being, I take all that is
within you, and through my graces, I transform it into joy, into peace.

This cannot be stopped.

Only you, my children, sometimes do not think of giving me what you are
thinking, what you are saying, what you are doing.

I, I am always stirring within you, I nourish you with my graces and my Mother
enables you to think of giving me what is within you.

Observe what you have lived: this week, my children, you devoted your lives to
my Mother and she, she took you within herself.

This movement came from us, the Divine Will.

She is preparing you for complete abandonment, which must take place every
instant

It is a preparation that takes place in the present moment, there are no dates
for us.

What you did this week must always be there in the present, always living,
without ever coming to an end.

Do not think of days gone by, think about how this is happening within you right
now, and you shall see, my children, that your life will take on a different
form, for you are learning to die in me, I who am the Present, who am the
Presence.

Your work must be much simpler, your decisions much easier, for you shall learn
to give everything, to surrender everything.

Be love.

When there is a movement within you, do not resist it, see it through, give
yourselves.

If you hesitate believing that this movement, which seems good to you, is not
from me, well then, go through my Mother.

She is there, with you, in the present.

You have consecrated your lives to my Mother.

She will help you discover that your movement must be in me, in Jesus,

and your movement will bear fruit.

If you believe that your movement is not in God's Will, if this is the case: I,
the Son of God, will cleanse it.

Therefore, there will be no imperfection within you that wants to take up space;
you will abandon it to me, to Christ, because you are beginning to die in me.

You are beginning to abandon yourselves.

And so, if you want to die in me, surrender everything to me; I, I take all that
is good and I also take all that is imperfect in order to bring it unto death.

I, who purified everything, I take everything about you; I do not only take what
is good, I also take what is not good: I have cleansed it.

I am the Life, I am the one who died on the Cross, it was not you: give
yourselves, give your entire life, give me your worries.

With regards to those you love, I carried them just as I carried you; I will
give you graces of strength to overcome this worry.

You will feel joy, peace, because you are learning to die in me, to reject all
things in the name of the Son, of the Word.

I am the Action, have no fear; do not be afraid to give me everything.

Oh! My beloved, around you there are means that enable you to give ? they are
the sacraments.

How great the sacrament of Penance is! How it enables joy to blossom within you!

It reminds you of my Sacrifice.

When you turn to one of my consecrated priests, you are turning to me, the
Christ-Priest, you are coming to talk to me.

When the priest forgives your sins, I place my mercy in him so that he is able
to give you that forgiveness.

You see, all comes from the Word, not from the human priest, but from the divine
Priest who is in him.

He is learning to die in me, he is no longer in his human will, he is in the
Divine Will, he is dying in me, in Jesus.

Do you see how beautiful this sacrament is? I, Jesus, through my Blood, I said
to my Father, Forgive them for they know not what they do.

I cried out to my Father, he heard my supplication.

Behold, the Life within you is enabling you to discover that when you come to
confession, you are in motion with me, Jesus.

You are linked to my movement of love and I, I take you:

you become my Action.

And when, my children, you come to receive me at the holy Eucharist, you are
coming to taste the Body and the Blood of the blessed Son of the Father.

What he has given me, he gives it to you because you are no longer within
yourselves, you are in me, in the Son.

The Father refuses me nothing, he refuses you nothing as well.

You are in me, in Christ.

Oh! My beloved, how great the sacrament of Marriage is! How beautiful this
sacrament is! How it makes you worthy of love! It is a movement of love that
takes place when two people give themselves to each other.

No movement is impure when it is blessed, when it is purified through the
sacrament of Marriage.

I, my beloved, who am in the priest, I blessed your union and when you give
yourselves to the other, it is I who carry out this movement, I am the Word.

To die in Jesus is to discover how much God the Father loves you.

He multiplies his movement of love in order to create, to give.

From your abandonment, he receives this movement; he is so joyful that he gives
life, and life goes on:

this is a movement of love.

And only I, the Son, can give this movement to my Father.

You, my children, do you think you would be capable of giving my Father joy
without going through me, you who are not perfect, you who have been in your
human will? Oh! Beloved, discover the joy of dying in me, the Son, the beloved
Son of the Father.

Oh! My children, at the moment my Father has chosen for you to go to him, how
wonderful it is to receive the sacrament of Extreme Unction! You are anointed,
my children; at that very moment, you receive strength, you receive graces from
the power of The Love so that you may present yourselves before God.

How wonderful is this sacrament that prepares to you see the very splendour of
The Love, of the Life, who gave you life and who enables you to discover life!
Earthly death, my children, is not an interruption, it is the peak of your life
on earth, it is where all is nothing but splendour.

Through this sacrament, you receive graces that prepare you to see God, in order
to offer God your life as a joy, as a gift, as if there were only this movement
that could please God.

Do you see the importance of your life?

Oh! My beloved, all this must be nourished, all this must be part of your lives,
important. And for this to be important, the Son of God must be active on earth,
and I, who am in each one of you, I render you active and I invite you to go to
my priests.

Do you see how great love is? Through the sacrament of Holy Orders, the priest
receives the power to be in me, present in the Christ-Priest.

I give you love; only the Son can give you love that comes from God the Father.

The priest, he is complete abandonment in me, in the Son.

Only the sacrament of Holy Orders can make a human powerful.

The priest's hands are my hands.

Oh! Children of the Light, you can only hear these words if you accept them.

Through your yes, you have agreed to give your life to God, and through the
sacrament of Baptism, you became children of God.

I shed my Blood and water gushed from my side to cleanse you of the sin that has
prevented you from living your life in the Divine Will.

The sacrament of Baptism is the sacrament of the yes to The Love; it turns you
into children of God, children of the Divine Will.

A time is coming when every child who says his yes will discover the love of God
the Father for him.

God the Father has consented to his Child, his Beloved,

coming on earth to cleanse you of the original sin,

that sin that has made you ugly, that sin that has prevented you from
discovering the divine Life within you, that sin that has tarnished your life.

Oh! My beloved, you are in me, in Christ; I taught my apostles about love;
through them, I cried out these words:

It is necessary to die in Christ in order to live.

I, the Son of God, say to you through this instrument of love: Yes, my beloved,
come die within yourselves. Come draw life from within yourselves and your life
will discover true life, divine Life.

You are children of God the Father, you are divine children through me, the
divine Son, you are life, you are the very source that gave joy to God the
Father.

Oh! My beloved, I shed my Blood for each of you, for all those you carry within
you.

Even before you were in this world, other children before you received graces of
love, graces of joy.

They received light that prepared you to hear these words.

And even children before them heard words of love from the mouths of my
prophets, for they repeated what God was placing within them and through their
hands they spread this power to other children, and those children, chosen by
us, also held out their hands.

From age to age, the Word of God has made itself known.

All has been in my Father's action and all is in my Father's action.

You are in the presence of the Will of God the Father.

You live in me, Jesus.

You receive within you, through your yes to The Love, graces that my Father
agrees to give you.

Through the power of the Holy Spirit you discover the splendour that dwells
within you.

Through the power of the Holy Spirit you allow these graces to flow within you.

All is done in the Divine Will, nothing comes from you; only your yes belongs to
you.

My children, I am not speaking to you of your no, it is in the past, and if
there are still some remnants of it, as tiny as they may be, I, at every second,
through the children of the Divine Will, I purify these little no?s that are
always trying to take root from day to day.

I am The Love who gives to you constantly. I am The Love who nourishes you
constantly.

I am The Love who enables you to discover your life within you. Be joyful.

Be joyful, with me, in this very moment. My children, shout out this joy.

Sing this joy and receive graces of joy from the hands of my priest.

Amen, my children of love.



The Girl of My Will in Jesus in the Holy Spirit: The Lord has just said, My
daughter, I want you to be obedient, I want you to talk about joy.

On Wednesday, we launched volume three; we can't say we I sincerely ask
forgiveness of God for it's God who did this: all is prepared by God.

When I got up this morning, he told me that this was his day, and he said to me:
I shall radiate through you. They will not see you, they will see me.

And this morning, the Lord said, I am joyful, they will see my joy.

And so, the Lord, he wants me to talk about joy.

When we're alive, we have two choices; I say two: the one of remaining at peace
and of feeling joy, but we also have another choice: the one of remaining in
one's human will, of refusing everything he gives us, of worrying, of grumbling,
of being impatient, of being angry:

this option is our choice and with this one, there's no longer any joy.

The joy we are due to receive throughout the day, if we don't get it, this is
because of us, and I experienced this yesterday.

When the Lord wants me to bear witness to something, I have the impression that
he enables me to experience it because yesterday, when I got up, I said, Lord,
you want to show me something.

This is because I got up to go work on a construction project at the back of my
property; I do heavy work.

And it was really early; I had received graces from the Lord, from Mother Mary,
and when I get up, I bless it's the Lord who blesses, through me, with my holy
water.

I had eaten breakfast and was all ready to leave it must have been around six
thirty and then, I said, It's a little too early. I began to do a few small
chores around the house, inside, before leaving and when I went to open the
door, I couldn't find the key to open my garage where I had left all my tools;
so, I searched for it.

I went outside, I went to see out back in case I had forgotten it there; I went
back into my apartment, upstairs on the second floor, and then I began to boil
with anger I couldn't find my keys! Who took my keys? Well, okay then!

I go back outside. As I had the key for the apartment upstairs because there
are two apartments being renovated I go take a look, and I did have that key
(for the apartments), but what can I do if I don't have my tools? I thought
about everything I had done the night before to figure out where I had put my
keys. Ah! I put them in my pocket! I searched my pockets but I couldn't find
them; I went back home and however much I searched, I couldn't find them.

So then, I said, Lord, why can't I find my keys? But I wasn't that bad, I wasn't
really, really mad, but I was still mad.

I kept looking, I was finding it long; imagine, it was nearly eight thirty: one
hour spent searching for my keys; I went to see my daughter, who was sleeping. I
said, Have you seen my keys? She said, Mom, they're in my purse.

Ah! My human will gained the upper hand; I said, Mom's keys go on the hook,
you're not supposed to take my keys.

She said, Mom, those are my keys, not yours! I said, This is true, they're your
keys, but I'm the one who's working! Now, I need the keys.

Then, I left, and I went down the stairs; ah! I said, Lord, now I'm really
angry.

He said, Yes, my daughter, you are angry.

Then, I said, Ah! Lord, are you angry? He said, No, my daughter, it is you who
is angry.

So then, I went upstairs, and I said, I ask you for forgiveness Lord, for
everything.

Then, Marcel arrived and I said, I'm in the process of calming down. And the
more I calmed down. Oh, boy! I hurried to call my daughter to ask her
forgiveness.

Because I'm certain she was worried, her too, over everything that had happened,
and afterwards, I felt peace, joy.

We really had a day of joy, the entire day: even if we're working, we have
really nice days while working hard.

And that night in the afternoon, my son says to me, Mom, come help me after
supper to do some plastering.

Ok, I'll come help you.

Since we finished at five o'clock, I said, At six, I'll be at your place to do
some plastering.

But he wasn't there! I waited one hour in my car, waiting.

They had gone out but they hadn't told me.

But this time, it was different I gave it to the Lord; I didn't fall into the
trap, I gave it to the Lord, I kept my peace.

I said, Ah! Lord, this is going to be a moment between you and me.

But this time, I savoured that moment without worrying, without saying anything,
and after one hour of waiting, they still weren't back: come on! So, I left.
And, I tried to phone him, he wasn't there.

All this to tell you that I had another choice to make.

In one day, he gave me those choices.

I was supposed to accept what happened in the morning but I didn?t do that; I
took it with my human will and not with God's Will.

And during that hour: I felt anger, I felt that time was being wasted, I also
felt frustration at not being able to begin my day when I, I wanted to and not
when God wanted me to.

And so, I experienced all this but not with joy.

And when I asked for forgiveness, well, joy rose up in me; I had a very nice
day.

And that night, when I was sitting in my car, because the door was locked and I
was waiting, well, I was with Jesus! I kept my peace because I abandoned myself
to Jesus.

And yet, it was the same situation: I was supposed to be working and that
morning, I was also supposed to be working.

But there were two different ways of looking at it: one, with my human will and
the other, with God's Will.

Lord, you must have known what was going on. You knew this, because they weren't
home. So, I gave my yes and I lived this in peace: it didn't take me an hour to
feel peace and joy, I felt them right away, it was instantaneous, whereas that
morning, it took me an hour to feel that joy that God always reserves for us.

God is in us, God wants to make us feel this joy because Jesus is Joy.

He wants to nourish us, to nourish our human will that is weak, that is fragile.

Well, Jesus is ready to do anything for us.

We must understand God's action every moment of our lives.

Jesus, he is the present: he is life, Jesus, within us.

In the morning, during that hour, I wasn't living, I was worried: I couldn't
enable those around me to feel joy because my daughter, she didn't feel it, no
way! So, I failed my neighbour.

And do you think that when I was worried on the inside, those that I carried
were joyful? No, because I was harming my neighbour then as well.

I was preventing Jesus from giving me joy and if I prevent Jesus from giving me
joy, Jesus, he waits! He, the one who is joyful, is sitting next to me and he
waits.

He yearns for us so much that he waits impatiently to enable us to feel this
joy!

Because that joy can only come from him.

Can you see all that we can refuse through our lack of abandonment? This is a
no: these are little no's.

He said so there are still little no's inside us, but they are disguised no's.

We can look however much we like at the people around us who don't go to mass,
the people who blaspheme, the people who commit adultery, the homosexuals, those
who commit impure deeds towards children incest, we can name a few murders,
drugs? these are no's. To us they're huge no's we too, we say no and maybe
these no's aren't huge in the eyes of our neighbour but inside us, we're
refusing them in our life, the life that is in us.

We're saying no to life: we're preventing Jesus from nourishing us.

Life, it is Jesus, and only Jesus can nourish our life, but we've just given him
a no, and so we prevent the Life from nourishing the life in us. Do you see what
no's are? And because of the greatness of what God gives us, they're as serious
as the other ones.

Because if Jesus enables us to know his love, if Jesus enables us to feel his
joys, if Jesus enables us to feel his peace, all this exaltation that we have
inside us, well, believe me, we'll become aware of this a lot faster than when
we refuse: we refuse our yes to God.

You see, Jesus said to us, through many saints, that he gives us graces, but
what he will ask of us will be according to what he gives us.

The degree of his request is based on the magnitude of what he gives us.

So, the more he gives us, the more our no's become important no's, as important
as those of our brothers and our sisters.

We must not judge! Because the no's we see externally, well, when everything
will be revealed to us, maybe they'll be of the same value as our no's because
Jesus will have given us much.

But what is comforting is that we have discovered that with a yes, we can go to
Jesus right away to receive his mercy and, right away, our no is already
completely purified by Jesus; he envelops it in his yes.

It's wonderful! This is why when we transgress against Jesus, and when, right
away, we ask him for forgiveness, we receive peace right away, joy right away.

And so, all this is done through Jesus because he's the one who acts within us
right away.

It's instantaneous, it's a joy that we feel right away.

Jesus is Joy, he gives it to us at every moment.

So it's up to us to turn and say to Jesus: I give you everything, Jesus, and
then our yeses become active.

You see, our yes becomes so important that he's the one who takes over.

And the no carries such little importance that when we give it to Jesus right
away, it loses its importance within us: once again, we find our true life in
Jesus, our divine life.

You know, it's wonderful to discover all Jesus has given us since he came on
earth.

He gave us his Life to nourish our life within ourselves: this is life, and so
we discover the joy of living in Jesus.

We discover that to die in Jesus is a joy.

This is Heaven that is revealing itself to us, this is Heaven that is coming
down to our level so we can discover it.

This is happiness on earth, this is the Will of the Father that is beginning to
happen on earth, within us.

The Will of the Father is to accomplish what he asks of us.

To accomplish what he asks of us is to die in Jesus in order to carry out our
deeds, because only Jesus can carry out our deeds, only the Son of God can take
all we are, all we think, and turn it into his own Will: we're living in the
Divine Will.

When we abandon ourselves completely, this is to live in Jesus, this is to
discover the Will of God the Father with what we are, with our frailness.

We must stop judging ourselves, we must stop judging others, because the Will of
God the Father is such that he wants each one of us.

We are all his children, he wants us as we are.

He sent us his Son to purify all we are.

We must say thank you to the Father.

We must not go on always judging ourselves, always complaining; we?ve become
such complainers!

When we complain a lot, we don't feel joy, we never stop criticizing.

Did you know that Quebecers are complainers? We never stop complaining: when
it's summer, we want the coolness of winter, and when winter is here, well,
we're thinking of summer; sometimes, when we're tired because of work, well, we
complain all the time, when we're sick and we can't work, well, we complain some
more.

When we never stop whining, we don't feel joy in those moments!

We must give everything to Jesus.

If we're tired, let's give him our fatigue: Jesus, you are my life, you are in
me. Come and take everything I am. Come, I want to abandon myself in your Body.
You say that you are the Life in me! Well then, I place my body in you and turn
my body into your Body. You, you have the power to heal my fatigue, you have the
power to rest: me, I don't have it, you, you do.?

And so, this is what he expects of us; not something like our complaints.

He wants us to give him our yes, he wants us to abandon ourselves, he wants to
go through everything we are, he wants to take all our cells and change them
into his own cells.

Don't forget that Jesus came on earth in human form; he lived what we lived
through his divinity.

He is God and at this very moment, when we give our yes, he lives our life
within himself.

Through our yes, we accept life, but if we don?t give it to him, he, Jesus,
can't do anything for us.

And so this is why we're going to give everything to Jesus, in the Divine Will,
and our confidence will grow so much, and all our ills that will be given to
him, he will transform them for us, and God alone is going to do this.

How many have heard about Father R�ginald Tardif[1]? Many of you, eh? He
(�milien Tardif) was God's instrument, he spoke through the Holy Spirit to
reveal God's action within them.

And when confidence grew, when abandonment took place, many people felt a change
inside themselves.

They felt joy, peace and, in the Will of God, some were healed.

All took place through the Will of God.

All, I repeat, all, received healing: healings of the heart.

When God goes through an instrument of love to heal, God doesn't choose one or
another.

When he speaks through his instrument of love to heal, he heals everyone's
heart. Every person received a healing, every person discovered that God the
Father loved them.

This is what he wants: a healing of the heart before physical healing.

How can we ask God the Father to heal us if our heart is wounded, if our heart
bears illnesses? When we neglect our soul, our soul suffers; it is deprived of
the graces from its Spouse, who is Jesus.

Our soul is inside us and when this has been happening for several years, it
isn't with only one request that this is healed.

He heals one wound, then he heals another, after that, he heals another.

You see, how many among you have several illnesses? There must be more than one,
eh? There are many who have diabetes, arthritis; others have liver problems,
others have problems with their circulation, their digestion.

As you can see, we could go on adding to this list because our poor

little body has come to know imperfections due to sin.

The first sin was the original sin, but others followed; others have been the
cause of our physical weakness and we bear the scar of all these sins.

God the Father is so loving that he sends people on earth whose mission is to
heal; but we're not the ones who heal it's God the Father, because it's God the
Father who is in us.

And if a person comes into this world, that's because God the Father willed it.

And if a person abandons himself, that's because God the Father willed it, and
if a person gives his yes, that's because God has already given him graces so he
can see the light.

Everything comes from God the Father. Every movement is in The Love.

Those lights don't come from us.

I couldn't talk like this unless the Holy Spirit created a movement of love
inside me.

Not one word that I say is known to me; they come to me just like that and I
can't stop what he's saying.

I stop when he tells me to and this is how it is.

For the healings, it's the same thing.

When God sends an instrument of love to heal us, God the Father knows what we
need: he knows what is good for us.

And it's for this reason that some people receive healings of the heart that are
so intense, so deep, that we can't understand.

We can't grasp what's happening inside us.

Love grows and we become beings who give themselves to their neighbour: we want
to help our neighbour.

This is so strong that we don't understand.

But these are healings of the heart: these healings have brought about many
saints throughout the world.

Many mothers and fathers have raised their children by devoting their lives to
them. They had received healings of the heart.

How can a human person get up at night when he's exhausted? How can a dad get up
in the morning after sleeping many hours less, and go to work all day while
continuing to love his child who is the cause of his suffering? Only God the
Father, through his Will, can give this strength to the soul.

The soul that is wounded by sin receives these strengths, it distributes them:
this is a healing of the heart.

God takes care of our hearts at every moment: our soul is growing more
beautiful.

And how many people have offered their lives by becoming consecrated children?

We have priests who have become bishops, cardinals and popes; they have been our
guides.

They showed us that Jesus loves us, that God the Father wants us in his Son.

Do you think that these children, who were human, could have given themselves
like this? It was necessary to heal their wounded hearts beforehand in order to
be able to give.

And how many nuns have renounced the movement of motherhood in order to give
Jesus their lives: to pray, teach, heal the sick? All this cannot be done
through human will; only God could have done it.

And all these, these have been healings of the heart.

God doesn't stop healing us, but because of our human will:

we no longer want this, we want to see things.

And God loves us so much that he continues sending them (healings) to us.

This is why we have had Father Tardif because, sometimes, he would heal people
physically, and to us humans, this was much easier we could see: we could hear
the testimony of a person who was sick, and who no longer was so.

And how blind we are!

We haven't been able to see how good God to for us.

Since the beginning of our human will, God has taken care of us.

If for one single day, God the Father had not wanted to care for us, what would
we have become? Me, in one hour, I who hear the Lord, well, I lost my patience.

Don't you think that my health was affected by this? Yes, because every time we
feel a lack of peace, well, our body, it suffers the consequences: it becomes
frailer, it becomes weaker, more tired, our appetite diminishes, and then our
lack of sleep! And so, imagine that for me, it took me one hour! If he, the
Lord, ever stopped nourishing us with his love in order to heal us, well then,
we wouldn't be alive.

We wouldn't be here today, or at the very least, we would all be sick, we would
all be crippled, we would all be people with many, many difficulties.

And believe me, I don't believe this! God would not have permitted that children
of God be on earth without his love: it?s even inconceivable because he created
us.

We're his children, his creatures.

Can one neglect what one creates? We need only think of a good apple pie: do you
think we're going to ignore it, let it spoil on the table? No, we're going to
eat it or else, we'll look after it for our guests, or we're going to put it
somewhere to protect it until it's time to eat it.

We're not pies! Although okay! God loves us and we're his children, so let's
behave as God's children, worthy of his love.

We're the ones who are unworthy of ourselves: we're not even worthy of the life
within us.

We have much to learn, but we need not worry; the Son of God came on earth to
teach us everything.

Everything is in the Bible, everything is in the Gospel.

He's in the process of transforming us so that we can understand everything he
has taught us.

Me, ever since I began hearing the voice of the Divine Will, now when I hear a
priest speak, when he reads his Gospel, I am beginning to understand.

And when the priest begins to speak, he who is in the Holy Spirit, I hang on to
what he says.

I'm not erratic anymore, because before I was erratic; I would be dreaming, then
listening, listening, and oops! I would lose track; oops! I would shake myself,
I would come back to reality.

I was trying and trying, but I was trying with my human will.

Today, I let it go but the Holy Spirit covers me and I can hear.

I can see the light, I can understand what he's saying.

I can be linked to the soul, not only my soul; in the Divine Will, we're all
linked to all souls. In the Divine Will, God turns us into something completely
different: first, he teaches us to be very little; afterwards, he teaches us to
discover The Love, who he is.

God, he's the Trinity; he's the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit.

This is why, at first, there was volume one that talks about love.

I heard people saying: But it's only about love, love over, and over, and over
again.

A child, he doesn't stop repeating: Give me water, give me water, give me water;
I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry.

The child is made like this, and so, this is why he teaches us to be little, to
become once again like a little child a little child who always hears about
love, who sees love being written down on paper but a child who can read, who
hears The Love saying, I am The Love, you are in The Love. The Love takes you,
The Love envelops you. Remain in me, only The Love can turn you into love.

Imagine, I've just said love many times, and yet, each love is different from
the other.

In my list: the first one leads you to be attentive to love, the second to
discovering that The Love wants us to listen to him, the third teaches us to
know that love, it's the most beautiful, the greatest thing there is: which is
God; and the fourth one teaches us to discover that we too, we can be love.

You see, in this sentence, the four loves' weren't the same.

This is what God wants to make us understand.

God wants to talk to us about love because we haven't understood anything.

An entire life spent saying, Do you love me?

We weren't saying this to Jesus, were we? It was to our boyfriend, or we like to
hear someone saying, I love you.

Hey, we haven't grasped a thing, we haven't understood a thing.

In 2001, in January I began hearing The Love talk to me, and my husband left[2]
us in March: three months later. But what love! I was no longer demanding, I was
giving, it was wonderful! Now that's love! It's to give, it's to not demand.

Our entire lives, we've learned to ask for love, to demand love from others: we
have done this our entire lives, married or not married!

Ready or not ready, we want to be loved, we want to be loved by others: our
entire lives!

But we didn't even know what is was to love, we hadn't even grasped the words
from the Gospel that told us how.

What is that nice poem that talks about the fianc�e, that talks about the love
of the fianc� who is coming for his betrothed, who wants to clothe her in his
most beautiful garments, who wants to adorn her with his jewels?

My goodness, that was God who was talking to each one of us! That was God the
Father going through the prophets, yes, through the doctors, through the
apostles, through the disciples, who were telling us how much he loves us! We
didn?t grasp this.

Every word in the Gospel: is about love! Every phrase is about love! The Love
cried out in the Bible.

When he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, The Love cried out, I am in pain! I want
to be loved by you! Love me! Do not destroy yourself, look at what sin has done,
it is destroying you.

With one breath, everything was wiped out.

But this was love, it was The Love who cried out his love.

Some Psalms speak about anger.

One night, when Monique was spending two nights, three nights or so, at my
house; every night, at prayer time, we would open (the Bible) and on the three
nights, or two, it fell upon the psalms that spoke about anger.

Monique said, Me, I don't understand.? And, me neither, I didn't understand, but
I said, We will abandon ourselves.

And then, Jesus, he spoke through me. Ah! Was it ever beautiful! It was really
beautiful! We were listening, and it was magnificent! And it was always love,
always.

We don't understand the love of God the Father for us.

We can't understand it; it is only by being children in the Divine Will that we
will discover all the wonder that God wanted to turn us into.

You know, God says that we are wonders, his wonders.

God created everything: everything was perfect.

There was nothing he created that wasn?t wonderful.

Every one of us, we are wonders.

When I look at a person, Jesus enables me to discover his simplicity, God
enables me to discover how gentle his gestures are: Oh! How agile he is! Oh! How
full of fervour he is!

And all these things, they're wonders. We are wonders, but we have a tendency to
put our human will before the Divine Will.

And so, the human will is overly inclined to be judgemental, to be critical,
unhappy, just as I was when I couldn't find my key: it's the same thing.

Whereas the Divine Will is full of gentleness, of understanding, of mercy,
because you know, when my son called me back to apologize, I said to him
forgiveness was a joy I said, You do not need to be forgiven. It's up to me to
apologize because I didn't want you to think that I had abandoned you. I was
afraid that you would think so.

He was so happy! God enables us to discover that we can love one another, not by
exalting[3] ourselves, but by humbling ourselves.

And this is the greatest of joys! It is to be very little, like little children,

and this is when we discover love, true love.

It's not by saying, Oh, me, I can do this.

Because I'm going to give you a little example: at noon, we were eating desert
and Edith where are you, Edith? Ah, there she is, Edith Edith was putting
ice-cream on our plates, and Monique, she said, Ah! Heat up the spoon, you'll
see, it's easier to scoop the ice-cream.

Edith said, Oh! Yes, that's right.

But she knew this and she put Monique before herself and you know, Edith
obtained more joy in doing this than Monique did.

Now this is being little! This is accepting that God do everything for us.

God came to serve us; he didn't come to be served: he asks us to do the same
thing.

Let's be little children.

Let's be like the little one who runs to help mom and then he trips, he falls
down: he drops the glass of milk he wanted to give mommy.

What does it matter, even if the milk is spilled? The gesture was beautiful!
Jesus observes our gesture; God the Father, his heart softens before each one of
us.

And if we do something that is clumsy, what does if matter, since Jesus, he did
it before us, he's the one who performed that clumsy gesture! And so, Jesus, he
took everything within himself and he purified it.

So, why be afraid of making a mistake? Just do it.

If there's something worrying us, if we think, Should I or shouldn't I do it?
Well, give it all to God.

Do what you have to do and remain joyful in order to carry out that action.

If it comes from our human will rather than from God, God the Father will take
care of us; he'll send us someone or he'll place us in a situation that will
enable us to see clearly. And, believe me, we won't miss it: in this case, we
will get an answer.

To die in Jesus is to allow ourselves to discover, it is to discover peace, it
is to discover joy, it is to live in happiness.

It isn't to lose one's life, it is to win it back. We lose our life when we want
to live life:

we must give it to Jesus.

He's the one who knows better than we do what is good for us, because the Son
goes through the Father, and the Father goes through the Son, and the Holy
Spirit gives us light to understand all this: this is the Divine Will.

What I am doing doesn't come from me, it comes from the Divine Will.

What he does for me, he does it for you.

This is the time for love, this is the time to enter the New Earth, in Jesus.

Many people are waiting for the New Earth; they want to enter the New Earth: go
in, it's in Jesus.

To go and die in Jesus, to go and taste the joys in Jesus, to go and savour
peace in Jesus is to discover the splendour of God's creation; it's there, right
in front of us.

God will know to shut our eyes to any imperfection and, every day, we will
discover a New Earth.

This Earth, it's in Jesus.

Let's not be afraid! Don't search for something that is in relation to human
will.

Don't you know that the New Earth is filled with God's love, his blessings? He's
the one who created earth.

It is only through Jesus that we enter the New Earth.

Go in! Thank you, Jesus of love.

God enabled me to see a vision.

He showed me that I was in a place I had to leave to go walk outside, but
outside it was light, filled with peace, filled with joy and all my movements
were done with simplicity.

Without knowing why I was going forward, as others joined in, we felt peace, we
didn't even need to talk.

All was joyful and we went forward, we went forward amongst obstacles: we went
forward amongst people who were not at peace and us, we went forward.

He[4] was leading us towards something that was unknown to us.

We were in a dry place, void of flowers, of grass; everything was desert but we
had that joy within us, that peace within us.

And well, Jesus was carrying us in him: we were discovering his splendour and we
were walking towards the New Earth.

All along the way, there were houses burning: they represented us detaching
ourselves from the material; we were leaving all that behind.

On the road, there were people: we were all united with one another because we
were in Jesus.

We were in the Life and we were walking towards the New Earth in Jesus, who was
the New Earth.

In the vision, I didn?t understand why there was that desert, the reason for
that emptiness. And I didn?t know where we were going.

There was a huge gully but there was a space[5]: it was very, very narrow.

I knew we had to cross it and that it would lead to something.

That small passage, as little as may be, that's our life; we have to get through
our human life in order to enter our divine life.

All those arid places, God enables us to see them.

Despite the fact that we will be in him, we'll still see what is going to happen
around us but it won't affect us anymore, we'll feel that joy, that peace, and
we'll no longer be afraid of tomorrow.

God told me that our Holy Father is suffering. God told me that our Holy Father
is suffering because some are plotting against him.

God told me that our Holy Father is joyful, peaceful, because he knows he is in
God.

He is preparing his days for the big day.

That big day is his entrance into the Kingdom of God the Father.

He is joyful, our Holy Father, he is completely joyful, but he's still watching
over us: he's protecting us.

He remains at peace and joyful because he carries us.

Not for a single moment does our Holy Father worry.

Remember, when I told you that I was looking for my key, I lost my peace and God
enabled me to understand that I was angry and that I was depriving those I was
carrying.

Well, he doesn’t worry; up until the last second, our Holy Father will be at
peace and joyful in order to sustain us.

What is to come won’t be able to affect us. We'll go forward in peace and in joy
because we are already children of the Divine Will.

We said our yes to The Love and that yes has begun changing us.

Let's be joyful, shout it out! Let's remain at peace.

Thank you.

souls, hearts, the sick, and to chase out demons in his Name. It is through
their priesthood that they have this power, for they are in Jesus, the

Father Rïginald Tardif is without a doubt the priest he is giving as an example. He is one of the priests who follow the Girl of My Will in Jesus. This is why the Holy Spirit has her say his name.

Medjugorje Day By Day June 29 - SAINTS PETER AND PAUL

"I wish I could help people understand that the Eucharist is a heaven.
Heaven is only a tabernacle without doors.  God lives on altars with infinite love in order to unite our souls to Him" (St. Teresa of the Andes).

"Do not be ashamed of your convictions . . . When you kneel before the altar, do so in such wise that it is evident you are before Him before whom you kneel" (St. Maximilian Kolbe).

Mother Teresa 

God will never, never, never let us down if we have faith and put our trust in Him.

Meditations by Padre Pio -

See how much scorn and sacrilege is committed by the sons of men towards the most holy humanity of His Son in the sacrament of love? It is up to us to defend the honor of the meek Lamb who is always concerned when the case of souls is in question, but always silent where His own case is concerned (Letters III p 64-65).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

The blind we see, but the deaf we do not hear

"One of life's greatest joys comes from loving those whom no one else loves. Thus do we imitate Our Heavenly Father Who certainly cannot see much in any of us creatures that is very attractive. It is curious that most people are more kind to the blind than they are to the deaf. Aristotle commented upon this fact, saying that sight is the most spiritual of all the senses and hearing the most material. For that reason we are moved by sympathy towards those who are afflicted in the most spiritual way."

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

January 30, 1930. One-day retreat. The Lord gave me to know, during meditation, that as long as my heart beats in my breast, I must always strive to spread the Kingdom of God on earth. I am to fight for the glory of my Creator.

I know that I will give God the glory He expects of me if I try faithfully to cooperate with God's grace.       (1548)

O my Jesus, Life of my soul, my Life, my Savior, my sweetest Bridegroom, and at the same time my Judge, You know that in this last hour of mine I do not count on any merits of my own, but only on Your mercy. Even as of today, I immerse myself totally in the abyss of Your mercy, which is always open to every soul.

O my Jesus, I have only one task to carry out in my lifetime, in death, and throughout eternity, and that is to adore Your incomprehensible mercy. No mind, either of Angel or of man, will ever fathom the mysteries of Your mercy, O God.

The Angels are lost in amazement before the mystery of divine mercy, but cannot comprehend it. Everything that has come from the Creator's hand is contained in this inconceivable mystery; that is to say, in the very depths of His tender mercy, When I meditate on this, my spirit swoons, and my heart dissolves in joy. O Jesus, it is through Your most compassionate Heart, as through a crystal, that the rays of divine mercy have come to us.       (1553)

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.

JUNE 29 - SAINTS PETER AND PAUL

Jelena received the following message intended for the Pope:

In my messages, I recommend to everyone, and to the Holy Father in particular, to spread the messages which I have received from my Son here at Medjugorje. I wish to entrust to the Pope, the word with which I came here: `mir' (peace), which he must spread everywhere.

And here is a message which is especially for him:

that he bring together the Christian people through his word and his preaching; that he spread, particularly among the young people, the messages which he has received from the Father in his prayer, with which God inspires him.

(LJM 9-16-83)

St. Paul charges Timothy with preaching the word:

Proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching (2 Tm 4:

Reflection:

Peter and Paul no doubt were the greatest evangelists of the church, converting in turn the Jews and Gentiles of their age. In his second letter to Timothy, Paul charges him to, "preach the word...put up with hardship, perform your work as an evangelist, fulfilling your ministry."

In a similar way, today Our Lady charges the successor of Peter, and all of us really, to evangelize as well by carrying her messages to others. She entrusts to us the message of peace.

As Paul exhorts Timothy, so the Blessed Virgin encourages the Holy Father to "bring together the Christian people through his word and preaching..."

On this feast of two great evangelists, the Mother of God urges us again to spread her messages by our words and by our lives. May the example of Peter and Paul inspire us to active roles in this great work.

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

Then your God, "The time is come when the majority of buildings WILL BE FLATTENED! The landscape will change drastically! Very, very few structures will remain standing- - -anywhere.

This dreadful hour has now begun. Yes, children, it will worsen as storms, winds, rains and lightening increase in severity.

Let Me, your God, find YOU IN PRAYER! The Hour of Wrath IS upon you- - -the entire earth! In the hours ahead you will find no safe refuge except the ones prepared by Me.

Listen and follow Me. My Angels will lead you. My shelters will be the only safe havens for My little ones. Spend these hours in prayer and make ready for the dreadful times that are indeed coming to each and every area of the earth.

PRAY, for prayer alone will be your strength, your lifeline.

Amen, dear children, today My words are coming to fruition!!!"

FEAST OF SACRED HEART!

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

L. vision
I see a small island nation in the Pacific area with a snow-covered mountain. It seems quiet, peaceful and is very beautiful.

Then God the Father spoke, " What you see Miyako is about to feel deep, dreadful tremors with a cyclone. This area wil be no more.

The quake with severe storms, will now move with great speed to all nearby countries. The oceans and land will quiver and great destruction will happen simultaneously. The mighty turbulence of the seas will frighten all humanity.

Winds, of hundreds of miles an hour, will flatten many areas. Lava will flow like rivers of liquid fire.

My words will be fulfilled as all MUST BE and WILL BE cleansed. ATOMIC WARFARE IS NOTHING TO BE COMPARED TO MY WRATH. THE TIME HAS NOW BEGUN.

While there is yet time- - -RETURN TO ME!!! Only with Me can you save your eternal soul. No longer can MY MIGHTY HAND be restrained.

Sin, children, sin is the downfall of mankind and all nations. THIS IS THE HOUR!

Amen! Amen! RETURN TO ME! Infinite number of souls will be lost forever! Amen! MY WRATH HAS BEGUN!! PRAY! PRAY! Pray always for the conversion of all souls! AMEN, I, YOUR GOD, SPEAKS!"

Then Abba Father spoke, "Dear daughter, remind all My people of the vision I gave you of Chile and the message too.  It has all begun!  One day soon the entire west coast of the Americas will change drastically.  Most of it will be no more.

    The mountains there will erupt from volcanoes thus causing earthquakes, tidal waves and powerful aftershocks.  If today you feel the tremors- - - gather your family and pets- - -move on.  I will lead you, as I did Moses, to a land of safety.

    Follow Me, follow My directions!  Safety is for those who follow Me in blind faith.

    These deadly happenings will continue and worsen.  If you want  salvation:  convert, change your life, pray, come follow Me, repent, forgive, obey ONLY Me, although you are in the world- -BE NOT OF IT!

    Waste no time!  Do not hesitate!  These deadly forces of nature could affect your area next.  Heaven and earth will pass away but My word will not pass away!

    Amen, all will be as I have said and very soon!  THE END OF THIS ERA IS NEAR AT HAND!"

Prophecy of St Malachy

Note: This deals with the Latin Rite of the Church

(From the Catholic Encyclopedia 1913 edition-fair use 17 U.S.C. for those in the African Diaspora who would not ordinarily be exposed to such)

The most famous and best known prophecies about the popes are those attributed to St. Malachy. In 1139 he went to Rome to give an account of the affairs of his diocese to the pope, Innocent II, who promised him two palliums for the metropolitan Sees of Armagh and Cashel.

While at Rome, he received (according to the Abbé Cucherat) the strange vision of the future wherein was unfolded before his mind the long list of illustrious pontiffs who were to rule the Church until the end of time.

The same author tells us that St. Malachy gave his manuscript to Innocent II to console him in the midst of his tribulations, and that the document remained unknown in the Roman Archives until its discovery in 1590 (Cucherat, "Proph. de la succession des papes", ch. xv).

They were first published by Arnold de Wyon, and ever since there has been much discussion as to whether they are genuine predictions of St. Malachy or forgeries.

The silence of 400 years on the part of so many learned authors who had written about the popes, and the silence of St. Bernard especially, who wrote the "Life of St. Malachy", is a strong argument against their authenticity, but it is not conclusive if we adopt Cucherat's theory that they were hidden in the Archives during those 400 years.

These short prophetical announcements, in number 112, indicate some noticeable trait of all future popes from Celestine II, who was elected in the year 1130, until the end of the world. They are enunciated under mystical titles.

Those who have undertaken to interpret and explain these symbolical prophecies have succeeded in discovering some trait, allusion, point, or similitude in their application to the individual popes, either as to their country, their name, their coat of arms or insignia, their birth-place, their talent or learning, the title of their cardinalate, the dignities which they held etc.

For example, the prophecy concerning Urban VIII is Lilium et Rosa (the lily and the rose); he was a native of Florence and on the arms of Florence figured a fleur-de-lis; he had three bees emblazoned on his escutcheon, and the bees gather honey from the lilies and roses.

Again, the name accords often with some remarkable and rare circumstance in the pope's career; thus Peregrinus apostolicus (pilgrim pope), which designates Pius VI, appears to be verified by his journey when pope into Germany, by his long career as pope, and by his expatriation from Rome at the end of his pontificate.

Those who have lived and followed the course of events in an intelligent manner during the pontificates of Pius IX, Leo XIII, and Pius X cannot fail to be impressed with the titles given to each by the prophecies of St. Malachy and their wonderful appropriateness: Crux de Cruce (Cross from a Cross) Pius IX; Lumen in cælo (Light in the Sky) Leo XIII; Ignis ardens (Burning Fire) Pius X. There is something more than coincidence in the designations given to these three popes so many hundred years before their time.

We need not have recourse either to the family names, armorial bearings or cardinalatial titles, to see the fitness of their designations as given in the prophecies.

The afflictions and crosses of Pius IX were more than fell to the lot of his predecessors; and the more aggravating of these crosses were brought on by the House of Savoy whose emblem was a cross. Leo XIII was a veritable luminary of the papacy. The present pope is truly a burning fire of zeal for the restoration of all things to Christ.

The last of these prophecies concerns the end of the world and is as follows: "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people.

The End." It has been noticed concerning Petrus Romanus, who according to St. Malachy's list is to be the last pope, that the prophecy does not say that no popes will intervene between him and his predecessor designated Gloria olivæ.

It merely says that he is to be the last, so that we may suppose as many popes as we please before "Peter the Roman". Cornelius a Lapide refers to this prophecy in his commentary "On the Gospel of St. John" (C. xvi) and "On the Apocalypse" (cc. xvii-xx), and he endeavours to calculate according to it the remaining years of time.

Notes

Note: The Pope numbers given are from a previous work, and do not accord with the official counting of the Vatican. Our current pontiff, Pope Benedict XVI is the 265th Pope. I am unable to explain this discrepancy.

Note: The commentaries below are only brief and selective. A commentary on every motto is given in Peter Bander's book: The Prophecies of St Malachy.
