BLACK SAINT OF THE DAY

 

Ammon the Great, Hermit, I am a monk of the desert.  Robbers periodically stole my meager rations of bread.  After a while, I tired of it, and ordered two huge serpents to guard my food and cell.  When the robbers saw this, they became paralyzed.  I cured them, explaining the goodness of God.  They repented, and became even more virtuous, presenting in the glory of God signs and wonders.

    Another large serpent continually molested and killed nearby villagers.  They bade my assistance.  In God’s mercy, I prayed before the serpents abode, it rushed me, and burst. 

Ammon,  (according to Athanasius) became a Christian and a monk. Then a bishop several years more’ after March 15, 351 A.D. six years after Pachomius died. Among the holy folk.

To the World

July 8, 2008

My Children of Humanity,

As a gracious God, I love you with a Love no parent or human being could endure.
I see from afar; and yet, I see very closely. There you are. I am here with
you, inviting you in a special way to pray with your heart and to be strong
enough to move forward without fear.



So many are afraid of the Father. They have no idea how gracious a father is:
his love, his perseverance, his patience, his endurance, his fortitude, his own
fear of God, his piety and his righteousness. A father is one who gives at all
times, at every moment, unconditionally and without exception.



Time is moving forward, and so few seem to pay attention to My great Love for
all. When the time comes where there is chaos and hardships, how can you run to
a Father looking for advice if you have not listened or put into practice the
advice I have given before You would be filled with yourself; and if you are
filled with self knowledge, and the distance from your mind to your heart is
great, how will you hear the quiet words, the few I will give, of instruction to
help you?



When you hear My words, you cry in fear and you are frightened; but have you
ever thought to put into practice My words to truly be athletically fit to
endure spiritually? If you haven't, then do not cry; for the negligence is not
on the part of your Father, but rather in your lack of response.



I love you. I am with you, but I will always invite you every day, more and
more, to do more and to be more prepared.



There are two lives, a life in Me and a life as you live in the world. Choose
one! You can live in the world and still belong to Me; and if you do that, you
will still be prepared. But if you do not pay heed to Me, and you live your
life without Me, then that is the graciousness of the reward of life you get.
The payment due will be forthcoming. Your choice: one life!



Peace.

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE

"My child come to Me"

Wednesday, July 09, 2008

Dear Friends,

"I rejoiced because they said to me, we will go up to the house of the Lord. And now we have set foot within your gates, O Jerusalem-Jerusalem, built as a city with compact unity." Psalm 122, 1 - 3

We had another fine day yesterday with sunshine the whole day and the weather close to 80 degrees. It is getting warmer and the humidity is going up but it was very nice in the evening with a nice cool wind and we could sleep without any trouble. We should have a nice day today although we might have some thunder and rain this evening.

I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday with a priest from California who came for a visit. He knows some of the people I met while I was in Los Angeles in January. Today I will celebrate Holy Mass at 9:30 a.m. as usual and after the celebration I will go to Charlottetown airport to get a friend who is coming to visit me for a few days. I hope to be at the prayer meeting this evening at our church at 8:00 p.m.

I recommend a very nice book titled "Roses in December" by Dom Forker. It is in many Catholic bookstores in Canada and the USA today. It was published in June 2008. There is a chapter on Our Lady of Prince Edward Island.

Here is another quotation from the little book titled, "Conversations with the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus." Jesus speaks saying, "I remain a prisoner in this tabernacle. I wait for every soul who is absent from Me. My children must understand that I am drawing souls to Myself.

I can no longer stand by and watch so many souls lost for eternity. In days past, there would be a small number who chose to remain parted from Me for eternity.

This caused Me suffering, it is true. In these times, though, My presence in the world and dominion over this world is treated so casually that many souls choosing darkness are led to believe this is almost a meaningless decision.

They do not understand the impact. Indeed, some of My children are casual about their eternity because they believe they will have several attempts at life in this world. I tell you today, children, this is a Godless notion created and perpetuated by the evil one who would like to downplay the importance of what you do with this time.

There is only one life allotted to each soul. There can be no question about that. Do not believe that you will come back to earth again for another chance. It is this life you are living that will determine your eternity.

So, My children, now that we all understand the importance of this day, and this series of days allotted to you, let Us make a decision on how you will spend the remainder of your time. I would like you to help Me. I have special work that need to be done. Indeed, I have special work for each one of these days remaining to you.

 If you will say "yes" to Me, I can rest more easily, knowing those tasks will be completed and souls, the certain number attached to your work, will be saved. My child come to Me and do My work."

Every person was created to accomplish a special work of the Lord. Let us give our consent to Him and do what He asks of us. He will let us know in prayer.

Father Melvin

Medjugorje Day By Day July 10 - JESUS GIVES HIMSELF AT THE MASS O Saving Victim, opening wide The gate of Heaven to man below; Our foes press on from every side; Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.

To Thy great Name be endless praise, Immortal Godhead, One in Three. Oh, grant us endless length of days In our true native land with Thee. Amen. (English version of "O Salutaris Hostia")

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

The self-pity awakens a sorrow which leads to despair and remorse." Meditations by Padre Pio - Even when reprimanded one must be courteous and gentle (GB 34). Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The difference between the penitent and proud"Take the other case of those who suffer unjustly but with faith and love of God in their hearts.

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

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - January 10, 1937. I asked the Lord today to give me strength in the morning so that I could go to receive Holy Communion.

My Master, I ask You with all my thirsting heart to give me, if this is according to Your holy will, any suffering and weakness that You like-I want to suffer all day and all night-but please, I fervently beg You, strengthen me for the one moment when I am to receive Holy Communion.

 You see very well, Jesus, that here they do not bring Holy Communion to the sick; so, if You do not strengthen me for that moment so that I can go down to the chapel, how can I receive You in the Mystery of Love?

And You know how much my heart longs for You. O my sweet Spouse, what's the good of all these reasonings? You know how ardently I desire You, and if You so choose You can do this for me.

On the following morning, I felt as if I were perfectly well; the faintings and the weaknesses ceased. But as soon as I returned from the chapel, all the sufferings and weaknesses immediately returned, as if they had been waiting for me. But I had no fear of them at all, because I had been nourished by the Bread of the Strong.

I boldly look at everything; even death itself I look straight in the eye. (876) 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 10 - JESUS GIVES HIMSELF AT THE MASS Speaking of the Mass, the Blessed virgin said to Jelena, My children, I wish that the holy Mass would be the day's gift to you. Attend it, wish for it to begin. Jesus gives himself to you at the Mass. Therefore, look forward to that moment, for than you are cleansed.

Pray a great deal that the Holy Spirit will renew your parish, for if people attend Mass with lukewarmness, they will return to their homes cold, with an empty heart. (LJM 3-30-84) St. Mark offers us this account of Jesus' institution of the Eucharist: While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, "Take; this is my body."

Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it. He said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many." (Mk 14:22-24

Reflection: The Mass is by far the most precious gift of God to his people, for it is the gift of himself. St. Augustine wrote that, "Although God is all powerful, he is unable to give more; though supremely wise, he knows not how to give more; though vastly rich, he has no more to give." St. Thomas Aquinas, one of the great theologians of the church wrote that, "The celebration of holy Mass is as valuable as the death of Jesus on the cross."

 Padre Pio, the contemplative friar who carried the wounds of Christ, made the remarkable statement that, "It would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do so without the holy Mass." And last, from Pope Pius X, who allowed children to receive communion: "If angels could envy, they would envy us holy communion."

Application: Today, reflect prayerfully on these lines from St. Anthony Claret: When we go to holy communion, all of us receive the same Lord Jesus, but not all receive the same grace...

Our differences in disposition are the reason. When a branch is grafted on a tree, the more similar the branch is to the tree, the better the graft will succeed. Likewise, the more the one going to holy communion resembles Jesus, the better will the fruits of holy communion be.

MEDJUGORGE MESSAGE 1987 NOVEMBER "Dear children! Today also I call each one of you to decide to surrender again everything completely to me. Only that way will I be able to present each of you to God. Dear children, you know that I love you immeasurably and that I desire each of you for myself, but God has given to all a freedom which I lovingly respect and humbly submit to.

I desire, dear children, that you help so that everything God has planned in this parish shall be realized. If you do not pray, you shall not be able to recognize my love and the plans which God has for this parish and for each individual. Pray that Satan does not entice you with his pride and deceptive strength. I am with you and I want you to believe me, that I love you.

Thank you for having responded to my call." "Make use of devotion to the Blessed Sacrament as a means of persevering in the practice of virtue. Let us go to Him toward evening and tell Him about our shortcomings, let us ask Him for help and forgiveness. Our Lord loves us, He thinks of us constantly, and His glance follows us every moment of the day" (Rafael Cardinal Merry del Val, Servant of God).

Mother Teresa - Whatever you do, even if you help somebody cross the road, you do it to Jesus. Meditations by Padre Pio - To lack charity is to wound the pupil of God's eye. What is more delicate than the pupil of the eye? To lack charity is like sinning against nature (AdFP 555).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The difference between Pity and Penitence "Both Peter and Judas did deny the Master and both repented or were sorry. But the Greek word used in the Scripture is not the same in both instances. Judas repented unto himself - he had self-pity. Peter repented unto the Lord - he had penitence, sorrow and a desire for amendment. Peter cleaned the weeds out of the garden, but Judas killed the nocturnal brood of remorseful serpents in his breast by hanging himself."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - O Lord, I feel your grace and Your peace filling my poor soul. I feel overwhelmed by Your mercy, O Lord. You forgive me, which is more than I dared to hope for or could imagine.

Your goodness surpasses all my desires. And now, filled with gratitude for so many graces. I invite You to my heart. I wandered, like a prodigal child gone astray; but you did not cease to be my Father. Increase Your mercy toward me, for You see how weak I am. Jesus: Child, speak no more of your misery; it is already forgotten.

 Listen, My child, to what I desire to tell you. Come close to My wounds and draw from the Fountain of Life whatever your heart desires. Drink copiously from the Fountain of Life and you will not weary on your journey. Look at the splendors of My mercy and do not fear the enemies of your salvation. Glorify My mercy. (1485b)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY July 11 - ST. BENEDICT, ABBOT The Blessed Mother gave Jelena this explanation after she saw a beautiful pearl divide itself. Each half sparkled and then faded away: Jelena, everyone's heart is like this lovely pearl.

When one belongs completely to the Lord, one shines even in the darkness. But when one is divided—a little to Satan, a little to sin, a little to everything— one's heart fades away and becomes worthless. (LJM 6-15-85) And from the book of Revelation: I know your works; you are neither hot nor cold. I wish you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold not hot, I will spit you out of my mouth. (Rv 3:15-16)

Reflection: St. Benedict, the father of Western monasticism, was known for his steadfast loyalty and love of the Lord, and he carefully inculcated these virtues in his friars. Born in 480 and educated in Rome, he began the monastic life at Subiaco where he gathered disciples, and then departed for Monte Cassino.

There he established the famous monastery and composed the Benedictine Rule, which spread throughout Europe. His undivided faith, which Our Lady calls us to today, can be easily discerned in his writing. From the Rule of St. Benedict: What could be more delightful, dearest brothers, than the voice of Our Lord's invitation to us? In his loving kindness he reveals to us the way of life.

And so, girded with faith and the performance of good works, let us follow in his paths by the guidance of the gospel; then we shall deserve to see him who has called us unto his kingdom. If we wish to attain a dwelling-place in his kingdom we shall not reach it unless we hasten there by our good deeds. Application: Today, pray for an undivided heart that expresses itself in good deeds for others.

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY July 10 - JESUS GIVES HIMSELF AT THE MASS Speaking of the Mass, the Blessed virgin said to Jelena, My children, I wish that the holy Mass would be the day's gift to you. Attend it, wish for it to begin. Jesus gives himself to you at the Mass.

Therefore, look forward to that moment, for than you are cleansed. Pray a great deal that the Holy Spirit will renew your parish, for if people attend Mass with lukewarmness, they will return to their homes cold, with an empty heart. (LJM 3-30-84) St. Mark offers us this account of Jesus' institution of the Eucharist: While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, "Take; this is my body."

Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it. He said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many." (Mk 14:22-24 Reflection: The Mass is by far the most precious gift of God to his people, for it is the gift of himself. St. Augustine wrote that, "Although God is all powerful, he is unable to give more; though supremely wise, he knows not how to give more; though vastly rich, he has no more to give."

St. Thomas Aquinas, one of the great theologians of the church wrote that, "The celebration of holy Mass is as valuable as the death of Jesus on the cross." Padre Pio, the contemplative friar who carried the wounds of Christ, made the remarkable statement that, "It would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do so without the holy Mass."

And last, from Pope Pius X, who allowed children to receive communion: "If angels could envy, they would envy us holy communion." Application: Today, reflect prayerfully on these lines from St. Anthony Claret: When we go to holy communion, all of us receive the same Lord Jesus, but not all receive the same grace...

Our differences in disposition are the reason. When a branch is grafted on a tree, the more similar the branch is to the tree, the better the graft will succeed. Likewise, the more the one going to holy communion resembles Jesus, the better will the fruits of holy communion be.

Medjugorje Day By Day July 09 - SING MORE JOYFULLY

 

Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

 

"All the supreme teachers, the popes, have been unanimous in proclaiming that the devotion to the Most Blessed Sacrament and the Holy Rosary are the hope and salvation of the world in our evil and dangerous era.  They have endeavored, by word and example, to bring the faithful more closely to Jesus Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament and to Our Lady's Rosary." (From The Eucharist and the Rosary: The Power to Change the World, by Louis Kaczmarek.

Mother Teresa  -

God loves people and provides for them. They are more important to Him than the lilies of the field and the sparrows.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

By all means seek solitude, but do not lack charity with your neighbour (CE 19).

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen  -

The Blame Game!

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

 

 

St. Faustina's diary  http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html  -O Jesus, eternal Truth, strengthen my feeble forces; You can do all things, Lord. I know that without You all my efforts are in vain. O Jesus, do not hide from me, for I cannot live without You. Listen to the cry of my soul. Your mercy has not been exhausted, Lord, so have pity on my misery. Your mercy surpasses the understanding of all Angels and people put together; and so, although it seems to me that You do not hear me, I put my trust in the ocean of Your mercy, and I know that my hope will not be deceived.      (69)

 

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 9 - SING MORE JOYFULLY

To Jelena's prayer group, a message of happiness:

I wish only that you would be happy, that you would be filled with joy. May you be filled with peace and announce this joy (LJM 86)

And to the visionaries in 1981, when leading them in a song about Jesus:

Come on, sing more joyfully. Why are you so pensive?

From the song of Deborah:

Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes;

to the Lord I will sing,

I will make melody to the Lord,

the God of Israel. (Judges 5:3)

Reflection:

"Come, Love! Sing On! Let me hear you sing this song—sing for joy and laugh, for I the Creator am truly subject to all creatures," sings the mystic Mechtild of Magdeburg. Truly life without joy and song and playfulness is incomplete. The beauty of music uplifts our spirits and shows us the face of our Creator.

For many, music is also a means of meditation and contact with God. When we experience the creativity of a musical piece, as it speaks to us, we take a step beyond the practical world, into the profound level of creation.

Some might say, "How can you celebrate when there is so much suffering, so much to grieve about?" Yet we have all grieved: we continue to grieve alongside our joy. But we need not pour all our energies into the painful and sad. Life is also wonderful. Music and dance and the joy of love enrich our lives and strengthen us to go on.

Application:

Today heed Our Lady's advice: "Come on, sing more joyfully.

Why are you so pensive?"

Beware of Electronic Surveillance In & Around Your Homes



"They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me. But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you of them ---" (Cf. Joh 16:2-4)

"This time is our time."   (Our Lady of All Nations) (1)


Yes, the time has arrived.  Smart cards and the subdermal microchips have been here for a number of years, and are increasing in application and popularity at an increasing rate.  Soon without smart cards in our possession, we will be prohibited from buying, selling, boarding aircraft, traveling, and entering certain buildings.  Once smart cards have gained acceptance, the chips in the hand or forehead will follow.  In a few months, all analog television transmissions will cease, and all must convert to digital television. 

For several years Our Lord has warned us of these days.  We have been told not to accept smart cards as they will lead to the subdermal microchip, the Mark of the Beast; and both will be used to track those who accept them, via satellites.  Our Lord has advised that the recent increase in the use of cameras in public buildings and streets are to be used to monitor those Christians and patriots who refuse to accept their New World Order.  Further, He has advised that high definition digital televisions will be used by evil men to peer into our homes to watch and listen to us.  They will be able to do this regardless of whether the television set is turned on at the time.

In the USA, in an effort to induce all to accept digital television, the government is offering a converter box coupon program.  Such coupons can be used to help subsidize the incremental costs incurred in converting one's analog television set (the old standard technology) into a digital format.  This indicates clearly the extent to which the will go to be able to monitor all.

Indeed, soon we will live in a worldwide electronic concentration camp.

Sometime ago, we published a message to the group entitled:  Smart Cards, Microchips & Isaiah 24 which contained a number of related messages from Our Lord.  It can be found at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/era-of-peace/message/135

As you will see below, recently He advised that beginning NOW, we should buy NO NEW televisions or other electronic appliances, phones, radios, etc.

This time is our time.




Louise Tomkiel (2)



February 17, 2008:
L. began to receive a message from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood."

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

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

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

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

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

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



July 28, 2000:
Louise started to receive a locution from Jesus and said: "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood".

Jesus then said: "I am warning you over and over regarding events that are now becoming quite frequent. You are seeing and hearing about air accidents, hijacking and you are constantly being monitored by means of your phone, fax, TV and various electronic devices in your home and car.

Many of My chosen ones are being confused. I am allowing so many signs to erupt before your very eyes yet many still deny that these ARE signs of the times.

You are indeed living in end times. This is just the beginning. You MUST seek My strength and you MUST trust in Me explicitly.

Evil, has taken control of your electronic devices. As soon as you hear your phone line open or a strange voice --disconnect -- wait and then try again. Remain silent when either of the above happens!  If your TV clicks or has static interference, turn it off and remain silent. These are signs that you are being monitored. Be even more careful of cell phones for the "chip" is already imbedded in them.

As My Mother has already told you and I repeat -- throw your phones out! In your homes you can unplug therefore cutting all contact.

DO NOT purchase a new car for they too have a chip hidden in them. Evil's eyes and ears are on everyone. Prayer without obedience is useless!

Many are praying for My words of knowledge to instruct them yet, they are receiving My aid -- and -- resisting it.

You will not be hearing that which you want to hear. You will be hearing My messages to direct you, to warn you, to strengthen you.

Because of My Love for you and because I want all people to return to Me and live eternally with Me, I ask you to discern, in prayer, EVERY word you hear or read and the events happening in your world today. SEEK DISCERNMENT THROUGH PRAYER!

You are so very gullible, My little ones. In these present times you MUST become strong in Me. You MUST live only My Will for you. You MUST renew your consecration to Me DAILY. YOU MUST pray and pray and PRAY. And you must pray for each other. Cling to Me as if your life and eternity depends on it -- for it does!!!

I love you, My children all. I will continue to instruct you and prepare you for forthcoming events. You are NOT alone. I AM WITH YOU FOREVER! I live in your heart; IF you accept Me. I nourish you each time you receive Me. I will never leave you orphaned. You ARE My dearest children.

Love created you and Love redeemed you. Return My love through your love and obedience.

Dear ones, spend much more time in My company. Become as one with Me and I WILL protect you from evil. Through your prayers and dedication, many events have been lessened. Our Father hears all prayers and smiles with joy at the sound of your voice raised to Him in praise, thanksgiving and supplication.

We send you Our love and gratitude as you continually respond to Our call".




John Leary (3)


January 7, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, you have read of the controversy of dodging the law to have phone taps on people without a warrant.  The real truth is that your government is listening to every communication for words about terrorism.  In addition they are profiling your citizens to see if they would give the one world people trouble in establishing their new world order.  If you are strong about your freedoms or are religious, they are placing you on lists to be exterminated or placed in detention centers.  Call on Me in prayer and you will be protected at My refuges.  The evil ones will be persecuting you for your beliefs which are contrary to the Antichrist's plans.  Stay true to your faith and refuse to use the microchips that could control your minds if you place them in your body.  I will defeat the evil ones and cast them into hell, but My faithful will be made ready for My Era of Peace after I renew the earth.  Rejoice when I come, for your joy with Me will be great both on earth and in heaven."  

April 11, 2002:
Jesus said: "My people, two new developments are occurring where most of your cable lines are being upgraded and high definition TV is about to be launched. What they are not telling you is that these new lines and TVs are being adapted for two-way communication. This means they can listen to you in your homes or even have devices to use hidden camera eyes. This is another step in trying to control your lives in addition to the national IDs and chips in the hand. At some time you will have to stop using these devices as the tribulation proceeds."

January 15, 2004:
Jesus said: "My people, you have seen just about all of your phone lines replaced with fiber optic cable and the light generators that allow voice and data to travel from place to place. Many more lines can be sent through one cable making two way signals common for listening devices in your cable TV and telephones. Your voices can be heard in your living room to those who want to listen. Your phone lines also are heard by those spying on conversations. This is why many of your modern high definition TVs are able to see you as well as hear you. Two-way cables have been a tool for the one world people to know all of your habits. Do not fear these evil ones for I will be victorious over them at My appointed time."

December 23, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, many of your new fiber optic communications are two-way cables used to listen to all of your conversations on your phones, modems, and even in your living room through your TV cables.  The latest test of your Patriot Act is whether your individual privacy is more important than your supposed security against trumped up terrorist activity.  Already it has been exposed that your conversations on the phone are wire tapped without legal warrants.  Even more threatening, your government is about to force you to have smart cards with fingerprints and iris scans in your new driver's licenses and passports.  This will eventually force you into buying and selling with these chips or they will zero your balances.  The next mandate will be chips in the body which you should refuse as the mark of the beast.  That is why you should refuse smart cards, so you are not tempted to take chips in the body.  You will not be condemned for using smart cards, but those using chips in the body and who worship the Antichrist could be on the road to hell.  This again is why after the Warning, you will need to remove all TVs and computer monitors so you are not controlled by the Antichrist's eyes that could cause you to worship him.  Avoid the Antichrist and these chips, and you will need to go to My refuges led by your angels for safety and your needs.  The evil one world people want to control you physically, and even your soul, so ask for My help in your protection."

February 9, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, your government is claiming that they have the right to intercept foreign calls to militant groups without answering to anyone for a warrant.  The truth is that this is just a cover-up because they are listening to all sources of communication and they do not want to admit this to the public.  Better to talk quietly outside because your conversations are being monitored on your phone lines and through your TVs.  Do not be afraid because I will protect you at My refuges."

February 3, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, many people think that they have privacy in their lives, but many of your activities are monitored and analyzed everyday.  All of your phone calls and e-mails leave a paper trail and are even listened to by your intelligence agencies.  All of your charges leave a paper trail and are sold to people that can profile you for ads on TV or in the mail. All of your banking is known by government agencies, even by your tax bureaus.  Your cell phones contain smart cards that can be tracked anywhere as well as your road debits for tolls in your smart card passes.  To control your buying and selling by chips in the body is part of what controlling your mind is all about.  The one world people control your lives already with many of your electronic devices, but do not put chips in your body that could be abused to control your mind.  The time for the Antichrist's declaration is not far off because these same money people are going to support his control for their takeover of all countries.  The evil ones are duping the rich to serve them as gods, but I will defeat all of them when I come again to renew the earth of all evil.  Trust in Me and My power than the control of the demons and the rich people."

August 10, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, these cell towers are not just used by phones.  They will be very integral in using GPS microchips in the body for buying and selling as well.  All of the surveillance cameras are not just for traffic control, but they are a means for tracking your every move as in a police state.  Your privacy in phone calls is gone because every call is monitored, even against your laws.  Mandatory smart cards in driver's licenses and passports are almost a reality.  When you have another major terrorist incident, mandatory chips in the body will soon follow.  Refuse any chips in your body even if they threaten to kill you, because these chips could control your mind."

September 22, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, at various government and military sites there are large white spheres with communication antennae inside.  These sites keep in communication with each other through cell towers and satellites.  The most interesting capability of these spheres is that they are used purposely to intercept all means of communication via cell phone, phone lines, fax lines, e-mails, and data transmissions.  They test each source of communication whether it be domestic or foreign based.  They do not ask anyone's permission for listening, but they test a dictionary of terms in the name of security for each call.  This was called the Echelon System, but it has been covered up when legislation tried to regulate such intrusion into people's privacy.  In essence you have no privacy and the one world people are working every day to broaden their control over you using mandatory smart cards and eventually chips in your body.  It is better for some of your conversations to be one on one with no transmissions because these evil people will use your own words to incriminate you against their tainted laws.  Trust in Me and have no fear of the evil ones, and their violation of your privacy.  I will protect you at My refuges where the evil ones will not be able to detect you or hear your words."

September 29, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, those, who run your secret agencies of the government, are not only looking for terrorists and thieves, but they are also doing the bidding of the one world people.  This means they are also profiling everyone of your citizens to see if they are a threat to their New World Order plans.  If you know too much of their inner workings, are religious, or are an avid patriot, then they will place you on a list for extermination before or after martial law is declared.  Americans are too used to having their freedoms, so these one world people will need a secret police of UN troops to neutralize those that they cannot retrain or will refuse chips in the body.  I will warn My people when these evil ones will initiate their attempts to kill My faithful.  It will be at that time that you will have to go into hiding, or go to My refuges of protection.  Call on My angels to lead you to My refuges, and let them protect you from the evil ones.  Be aware every time that you are on the phone or the internet because these evil ones are listening to your every word, especially if you are on their lists.  Pray for My protection of your soul, those in your family, and those in your prayer group."

October 1, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, there are many unusual shaped antennae on all sizes of towers around your cities in addition to cameras.  This one mirror in the vision is a way of sending signals on and off.  The one world people are placing all manners of surveillance equipment around your cities in order to listen to and track your citizens.  The extent of these devices is beyond police needs and  it is more apparent that they are following people.  These are part of the plans to initiate martial law when it is declared and to track any offenders of their rule.  My faithful will be sought out by this secret police as they will consider you outlaws to not take chips in the body.  I will help you to hide from these evil ones who will soon be working for the Antichrist.  Be prepared to help hide each other when the Warning occurs.  Events in your government are going to change fast and your democratic freedoms will become a thing of the past.  Whenever the one world people implement the North American Union, it will be the beginning of the end of America as you know it.  Pray for My protection at this time as you will need help from My angels in the coming tribulation."

February 7, 2007:
Jesus said: "My people, in the name of security you have seen many miles of fiber optic cable put in all over your country. With such small strands of glass with light you can bring many phone and data lines all over. Some cables are carrying information from many cameras located along your highways and at your intersections. These can monitor your whereabouts by viewing your license plate and your facial image. Other two-way fiber optics enable your cable TV to monitor your voice in your house, as well as your phone lines for voices or data. All of these spying electronic devices are another means for the one world people to control everyone through your buying and selling by chips and cell towers. Chips in smart cards and cell phones can also be used to track your movements as well as profile your purchases. Many of these profiles direct advertising to you by mail and e-mail. Even as your electronic devices have been helpful in your life, they also can be used against you by the one world people who have evil purposes in trying to control you. Be aware of all of this spying and be prepared to leave for My refuges when the evil ones will use this information against you in the persecution of the tribulation. Trust in My protection and I will see to your needs."

May 27, 2004:
Jesus said: "My people, the evil ones behind the scenes, who are planning the declaration of the Antichrist, are spying with cameras and listening devices so they can go after all of those people who are speaking out in My Name. I have told you many times that you are dealing with a constant battle of good and evil. Your moral decay and lack of prayer is enabling the evil ones to gain in power all over the world. You will see religious persecution become more open as the days of tribulation grow closer to the time of declaration of the Antichrist. Just as St. Paul was persecuted in Jerusalem and Rome, My faithful should expect to receive the same treatment. Though you may suffer at the hands of the evil ones, I will protect your souls from harm. Even if you suffer martyrdom for your faith, you will enter heaven directly as a saint for witnessing to My Name. So keep close to Me in your prayer life and My sacraments to have a strong spiritual backing for what you will endure."

January 14, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, there are many people that use the internet for banking, buying things and sending mail. There are also malicious thieves trying to steal identities to ruin people's bank accounts by stealing their money. These computer writers are sending viruses and other malicious software to ruin companies and steal information just because they want to flaunt their skills on everyone. There also are those computer people who take money to try and destroy the internet by terrorist tactics of takeover. It is the control of buying and selling that the one world people are interested in, and they will go to extremes to accomplish it, even if it means bringing down the whole internet. Many are profiting from selling antivirus programs and programs that clean off electronic trails to where you were on the internet. Unless others send out bad programs, no one would have to buy these repair programs. Beware of all that you do on the internet. You need to be cautious of every unknown program that finds itself onto your computer."

September 20, 2001 (Regarding the September 11, 2001 attacks): 
Jesus said:  "My people, I have told you that the one world people have staged these recent disasters so they could justify a national emergency and national identification cards. Eventually, smart cards will be issued to everyone that will be needed for travel and for all buying and selling. These war and security measures will lead to chips in the hand. Those refusing these chips in the hand will be placed in detention centers where some will be martyred, tortured or enslaved to hard labor. Call on My help to bring you through this tribulation. Refuse to take these chips in the hand and refuse to worship the Antichrist or his image."

October 6, 2000:
Jesus said: "---Refuse to take any smart cards so you will not be influenced to take the chip in the hand. Now is the time to have extra food and fuel on hand so I can multiply what you have and you will not need the mark of the beast to buy and sell."

September 28, 2004:
Jesus said: "My son, I am showing you this increased surveillance with cameras both on and off airplanes. Security requirements will soon require a smart card to be able to board any plane. It will be at that time that you will desire not to fly because you are following My instructions to avoid smart cards. People will not be condemned for having smart cards, but they will draw people more to put chips in their bodies to keep their money and jobs. You will be persecuted for not using smart cards, but the authorities will not control you either. Beware of the trials when you will need to seek out My refuges for food and water because you will be outlaws to not follow chips to buy and sell. By not worshiping the beast, the authorities will try to imprison or martyr you. Continue to reject using smart cards and refuse any chips in the body at all costs. I have given you these warnings to protect your soul and others from the evil one's influence. It will be a test of everyone's faith to turn their back on everything they own to follow Me in full trust at My refuges. Even if your life is threatened, it is better to obey My laws than man's corrupt laws. When you place your trust in Me, I will strengthen you to endure any trial that you will face. So have no fear and do not despair in what will seem like a hopeless battle against evil. I will be victorious and cast all the evil ones into hell."

January 29th, 2008:
Jesus said: "My people, there is no other reason to force microchips on you other than to control you. The one world people brainwash you with all kinds of excuses as inventory and medical identification which you could have without chips, as in bar codes. The people are being restrained, as in the vision, by microchips in your passports, licenses, and RFID chips in everything you buy, and they are making you their captive audience without your approval. These mandatory restraints in the name of security, will be the same reason when in the next step they make chips in the body mandatory. Refuse to take any chips in your body because they could then control your minds and your free will. Chips in the body will truly make you captive robots, so you would rather die than take them. This step of mandatory chips in the body is the sign to quickly flee to My refuges so you are not at home when they come to try and force these chips on you. Now is the time to not use any such chips in passports or licenses, so they cannot track your whereabouts. If they force these on you, then wrap them in aluminum foil so they cannot be read. When you need to go to the refuge, call on Me and I will have your guardian angels lead you to the nearest refuge of My Blessed Mother's apparition, holy ground places, or caves of protection. Pray for your protection in these evil times because you will need My angels to fight your battles."

November 3, 2000:
Jesus said:  "---By avoiding his chips and smart cards, he will not be able to track you with cell towers or the satellites. Trust in Me to provide for all of your needs and I will give you My protection. Some may die as martyrs for My sake, but the rest I will shield at My refuges. My victory is not far off, so have patience to endure this tribulation. The time of the Antichrist is short and you will soon share in My true peace."

February 27, 2004:
Jesus said: "My people, this vision of a policeman scanning cars at the border is a step beyond just taking pictures of your license plate. They will be scanning for the chip in your ignition, Easy Pass devices, cell phones, smart cards, and even your money with the strips. Security excuses will be used more and more to violate your privacy so the one world people can track your movements and eventually try to control your life through your buying and selling. What you once thought were innocent intrusions to detect terrorists and drug runners, are now used by governments to keep track of who you are and what you are doing. By knowing that you are a Christian and that you do not carry a smart card, you will be persecuted for not going along with the one world order. These restrictions will soon be enforced to eventually detain people for not taking chips either in smart cards or chips in the body. As time progresses, you will have to refrain from airplanes or borders where authorities may persecute you in prison for not having a smart chip. This may sound harsh to you now, but already you are seeing new reader devices at your country border entries. Do not be fearful of these coming evil restrictions, but call on My help when you eventually will have to seek My refuges for protection."

January 16th, 2008:
Jesus said: "My people, your Homeland Security people have been issuing decrees that all new passports have to have a microchip in them that contains your personal information. By the Real ID Act passed by your Congress and your President, all of your drivers licenses will have to have a microchip as well. These chips are not that secure, and identity thieves can steal your information with the right kind of microwave reader. In order to prevent this theft, I am recommending if you have such documents containing microchips, that you can wrap them in aluminum foil or lead photo pouches so they cannot be read by such thieves trying to steal your identity. All of these one world people want to have you chipped so they can track where you are. Making chips mandatory in your passports and driver's licenses is just the first step. The next step will be to make it mandatory that you have to put a chip in your body so you will not lose it. But this will allow them to control your mind with voices, so refuse to take any chips in your body, even if they threaten to kill you in their detention center death camps. This threat of death will be another reason to leave for your refuges guided by your guardian angels, before they can capture you at your house. Pray for My protection and I will have My angels guard you, and make you invisible to those who want to kill you."

January 15, 2004:
Jesus said: "My people, your cell phones are useless unless there are enough towers to carry the signals to the satellites. Not only are your phones good for making calls, but they also can be a means of tracking your movements even when it is turned off. When you go to My refuges, do not take any electronic devices with you that could be used to trace you. It will also be harder for the evil ones to find you if you are in areas where there are no cell towers. My angels will protect you at My refuges because the evil ones will not be able to see you with their electronic eyes. Pray for My protection at that time."

Digital TV is Coming (And Sooner Than Your Think)


US FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION -- On February 17, 2009, federal law requires that all full-power television broadcast stations stop broadcasting in analog format and broadcast only in digital format. Here's what these requirements will mean for you and your television viewing.

Why Are Broadcast TV Stations Switching to All-Digital?

Congress mandated the conversion to all-digital television broadcasting, also known as the digital television (DTV) transition, because all-digital broadcasting will free up frequencies for public safety communications (such as police, fire, and emergency rescue). Also, digital is a more efficient transmission technology that allows broadcast stations to offer improved picture and sound quality, as well as offer more programming options for consumers through multiple broadcast streams (multicasting). In addition, some of the freed up frequencies will be used for advanced commercial wireless services for consumers.---".

FBI Taps Cell Phone Mic as Eavesdropping Tool
Agency used novel surveillance technique on alleged Mafioso: activating his cell phone's microphone and then just listening.



CNET News - December 1, 2006 -- The FBI appears to have begun using a novel form of electronic surveillance in criminal investigations: remotely activating a mobile phone's microphone and using it to eavesdrop on nearby conversations.

The technique is called a "roving bug," and was approved by top U.S. Department of Justice officials for use against members of a New York organized crime family who were wary of conventional surveillance techniques such as tailing a suspect or wiretapping him.

High Impact Nextel cell phones owned by two alleged mobsters, John Ardito and his attorney Peter Peluso, were used by the FBI to listen in on nearby conversations. The FBI views Ardito as one of the most powerful men in the Genovese family, a major part of the national Mafia.

The surveillance technique came to light in an opinion published this week by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan. He ruled that the "roving bug" was legal because federal wiretapping law is broad enough to permit eavesdropping even of conversations that take place near a suspect's cell phone.

Kaplan's opinion said that the eavesdropping technique "functioned whether the phone was powered on or off." Some handsets can't be fully powered down without removing the battery; for instance, some Nokia models will wake up when turned off if an alarm is set.--- "

The U.S. Commerce Department's security office warns that "a cellular telephone can be turned into a microphone and transmitter for the purpose of listening to conversations in the vicinity of the phone." An article in the Financial Times last year said mobile providers can "remotely install a piece of software on to any handset, without the owner's knowledge, which will activate the microphone even when its owner is not making a call." ---"

"If a phone has in fact been modified to act as a bug, the only way to counteract that is to either have a bugsweeper follow you around 24-7, which is not practical, or to peel the battery off the phone," Atkinson said. Security-conscious corporate executives routinely remove the batteries from their cell phones, he added. ---"

An Electronic Concentration Camp: Big Brother in the Sky


THE RUTHERFORD INSTITUTE - September, 23, 2007 -- Short of hiding out in a cave, far removed from any trace of modern technology, it would seem that there is no longer any escaping the electronic concentration camp in which we live.

Whether we're crossing the street, queuing up at the ATM or picnicking in the park, we're under constant scrutiny-our movements monitored by cameras, tracked by satellites and catalogued by a host of increasingly attentive government agencies. No longer does the idea of an omnipresent, omniscient government seem all that far-fetched. And as technology becomes ever more sophisticated, the idea of a total surveillance society moves further from the realm of George Orwell's science fiction fantasy into an accepted way of life.

In fact, surveillance has become an industry in itself, with huge sectors having sprung up devoted to developing increasingly sophisticated gadgets to keep American citizens under surveillance, with or without their cooperation. The science behind the gadgetry is particularly brilliant. For example, human motion analysis, a pet project of researchers at the University of Maryland, aims to create an individual "code" for the way people walk-researchers refer to it as "finding DNA in human motion." Dubbed Gait DNA, this surveillance system works by matching a person's facial image to his gait, height, weight and other elements-all captured through remote observation, thereby allowing the computer to identify someone instantly and track them, even in a crowd.

Soon there really will be no place to hide. Oceanit, a Hawaii-based company that has been working with the Hawaiian National Guard in Iraq, is preparing to roll out sense-through-the-wall technology next year that can "see" through walls by picking up on sensitive radio signals emitted by the human body to determine vital signs such as breathing and heart rates. As Ian Kitajima, the marketing manager for Oceanit pointed out, in addition to telling users whether someone is dead or alive on the battlefield, the technology "will also show whether someone inside a house is looking to harm you, because if they are, their heart rate will be raised. And 10 years from now, the technology will be much smarter. We'll scan a person with one of these things and tell what they're actually thinking. "---"

And on October 1, the government will launch its latest assault on privacy by making data from U.S. satellites available to federal agents. These satellites, which orbit the earth 24 hours a day and have historically provided high-resolution photographs to track climate changes and foreign military movements, will now be used to watch for terrorist activity and drug smuggling, among other things. Yet they are a far cry from the satellite imagery many Americans have become acquainted with through Google Earth and MapQuest. These spy satellites not only take color photos, they also use more advanced technology to track heat generated by people in buildings.

In fact, as the Wall Street Journal points out, "The full capabilities of these systems are unknown outside the intelligence community, because they are among the most closely held secrets in government." Moreover, the technology is expected to be made available to state and local law enforcement agencies within the year, which raises serious concerns about the deepening ties between domestic law enforcement agencies and the military.---"

BLACK SAINT OF THE DAY

 

Anatolius of Alexandria, Bishop. I was born in Alexandria, and eventually became a bishop. Long before the renaissance, or so-called the Age of Enlightenment, I was known a a scientist ,philospher. teacher and writer of mathmatics. I guided the School of Aristotle at Alexandria, Kemet school of philosophy. My curriculum was based on Aristotle’s methods. I was humbled by St. Jerome commented favorably on my writing efforts. I served in the local government. God allowed me to maintain my humility. But I still had faults. I loathed ignorance, teaching many who received the little knowledge I had. I understood and taught geometry, physics, rhetoric, dialectic, astronomy, and philosophy. In 263 A.D. rebels fought against Rome. Alexandria was seiged, Starvation was rampant. As I had served in Alexandria government positions, I successfully meditated with Roman military authorities, allowing the sick and elderly to leave the besieged city. I negotiated a pass for children, women, the sick and elderly out of the area. But because of the war, I left Alexandria, traveling to Caesaria in Palestine, and then to the Council of Antioch. On the way to the Council of Antioch through Laodicea, I was offered post of bishop there staying 15 years. While there, a local bishop died, and I was appointed to the episcpate in Laodicea, Syria, serving 15 years. I died in 283 A.D. 3 July. I died in 283 A.D. 3 July.

The Gift of Faith

Tuesday, July 08, 2008

Dear Friends,

"Alleluia.

Praise the Lord, all you nations; glorify him all you peoples! For steadfast is his kindness toward us, and the fidelity of the Lord endures forever." Psalm 117

I continue giving you the words of Our Lord addressed to "Anne". She has conversations with the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. Jesus told her these words, "My children, I am working through you. I am using you as healing instruments. Your world is sick and suffers from a disease far worse than any disease of the body. The very soul of your world struggles now to find the healing it requires.

 And I am here. I intend to heal your world. I want you to be joyful representatives of your Eucharistic Jesus. The Eucharistic Jesus calls out to His children in firmness. I call you each by name and I say to you, 'It is time to return to Me.' Come to Me, waiting in the tabernacle, and I will reveal Myself to you in such a way that you will have no doubts. You will be glad in your heart and peaceful in your soul. Rest near the Eucharistic heart of your Savior and you will be granted everything you need.

Faith is a gift, My dear one. I wish to give this gift to you, but you must turn to Me so that I may. My heart beats only with love for you. I can promise you that I will not reproach you. I will help you understand that only joy and light is suitable for a child of God. You will return to Us one day. Let Us make that the most joyful day of your life."

Jesus calls us who believe in Him to pray for those who do not believe that they may receive the great gift of faith and become His friends. Let us pray one decade of our rosary every day for those who live in darkness not knowing the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. Let us always be ready to give an explanation for what we believe. Let us share with them how important it is for us to believe and to follow Jesus. May the Lord bless you all.

Father Melvin

 


Fr Doucette - Eucharistic Adoration - Mon, July 07, 2008


FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE 
 

Eucharistic Adoration
 

Monday, July 07, 2008

 

Dear Friends,

 

Here is a short reading from John 6: 47  51: Jesus said, Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.

 

I got good news from my trip in the USA. Two people received a healing in Maine and another received a healing at the Healing Mass at the little shrine on Friday. Our Lord shows His great love by healing the sick.

 

I have finished with the book of Dr. Bob Rice. Now I will refer to a holy lady who wrote a book called Conversations with the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus'. Here is a quotation from this book:

 

Today I wish to direct attention, once again, to the hectic pace of the modern world. Children, come and sit with Me in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. I am in every tabernacle throughout the world.

 

Think of one now, and picture Me there... I am truly there. 'What does He do?' you might ask. I tell you, My child, I am not bored. I think about you. I worry if you are far away. I suffer if you have chosen worldly paths and you are endangering your soul. I am sad each day if there is no hope of a visit from you.

 

I ask My Father to have mercy on you. I direct My angels to watch over you in the hope that someday you will return to Me. My child, how often during your day do you think of me? You are thinking of Me now, as you read these words.

 

So while your mind is resting upon Me, let me tell you that I love you. I want only your happiness. I can help you in everything. I can solve your problems and heal your wounds.

 

 

My child, come and sit before the Eucharist in any tabernacle. My graces and blessings will flow out to you. I want you to sit and soak in the silence. You may close your eyes there and I will fill your precious head with a stream of heavenly thoughts. I have so much to share with you. I have seen every injury you have experienced. I longed to comfort you. Let me comfort you now.

 

Let us take these words of Jesus to heart and spend time with Jesus in the Blessed Eucharist at least once a week. He will surely bless us with His love and peace.

John Leary Messages Repost (Fair use, for those in the African Diaspora who would not be exposed to such, 17 U.S.C.)

Jesus said: “My people, you are now enduring the seven seals of Revelation which includes the four horsemen of Revelation (Chap. 6). You have seen some wars and worse ones are to come. In addition to this red horse of war, you will soon see the black horse of famine and the pale-green horse of pestilence. Other seals involve the martyrs for their faith, and great signs in the sky that will bring earthquakes and comets.

The last of these seals is the sealing of the crosses by My angels on the faithful on their foreheads. This is the cross that you will see on My faithful people during the tribulation. The coming trumpets of My angels will be the most severe with the destruction of two-thirds of humanity and the coming of the two witnesses.

These are the ominous signs that you are seeing that are being carried out according to St. John’s prophesy. Many people dying in these natural disasters in America, China, and Myanmar are a punishment for abortions, homosexual acts, and trading in human flesh. Floods, fires, earthquakes, and typhoons are the instruments that could bring about famines and pestilence that you will be seeing more of in the future.

 Nations have to be cleansed of their sins, even as people need to be pardoned of their sins in Confession. Be prepared for these events that are leading up to the declaration of the Antichrist in the time of tribulation.”


Jesus said: “My people, the flooding in the Midwest still has to travel down the Mississippi River where there will be further damage.

Some water levels are going down, but with the present saturation, it may require a month or more to dry out. Every storm that comes through now will postpone any drying out. If the farmers cannot harvest what is left, then their losses could even be higher. Continue to pray for drier fields and less rain so there will be something left to harvest.

Many farmers cannot afford these large losses, so they will be coming to the taxpayer to try and get enough subsidy so they can plant again next year. Not only will the farmers take some losses, but your people will be suffering higher food prices where your crops are affected, as well as some shortages. You are seeing the growing potential for the coming world famine as continuing natural disasters are occurring all over the world. Pray to Me for your needs and I will be at your side to provide for you.”

Sunday, June 15, 2008: (Father’s Day)

June 15, 2008

God the Father said: “I AM came today to bless all of the people at Mass, especially all of the fathers in taking care of their families. It is sad with divorces and living together that too many children are being raised without father images.

 All fathers need to call on My help in keeping their jobs and supporting their families both financially and spiritually. The women are usually more religious, but the fathers should make more of an effort in coming to Sunday Mass, and praying every day.

 In the reading it is mentioned how I brought the Israelites to the promised land in the Exodus. I am the same protector of My people today and I will be there to provide for you and protect you in the coming modern day Exodus during the tribulation. Consider this day as one of My feast days because many tend to forget Me in their prayers.

It was My Son, Jesus, who taught you to pray to Me in the ‘Our Father’ prayer. I brought about creation of all that you see before you. So remember all Three Persons of the Blessed Trinity when you are praying to God.”
Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing a darkness over New York City indicating a night scene, but also an absence of power to run the lights. There will be some strong storms around New York that could cause a power outage.

You have seen several blackouts in the Northeast and the weather this year has been very severe. The fireworks were sent off near July 4th for some light and a comfort to the people that all was normal.

These natural disasters are happening frequently, and you have seen power outages before with lightning striking power transformers. These events will continue to threaten America along with terrorism attempts. Be prepared this year for many trials that everyone will have to endure in prayer.”

Jesus said: “My people, at times people are a little down, as King Ahab, when they cannot have their own way. It is the devious behavior of Jezebel that is an evil response to this situation with Ahab not getting his vineyard.

To trump up charges against your neighbor and have them killed for your own gain is truly evil and worthy of My judgment against such people. You already have less severe laws that allow governments to condemn someone’s land and sell it to developers to make more property taxes.

 

This method of making up false stories for people to start wars has been the standard ruthless behavior of the one world people for almost every war that you have been involved in. This is why people should be more against war, or at least seek to examine the truth of the causes. In the Gospel I asked My people not to fight these evil ones, but leave their judgment up to My justice. In the same way, let My angels protect you and I will destroy the evil ones in the coming tribulation. Be always loving and do not let Satan disturb your spiritual peace.”


Jesus said: “My people, you have seen various people who have been given special gifts. Some can speak to the souls in purgatory; some converse with angels; some have inner locutions or apparitions; and some have gifts to talk with the deceased. You have read books about messages from the souls in purgatory, and these souls have no evil, nor can they be influenced any longer from demons.

 Pray for people who have such gifts that they can discern any demons trying to pose as souls in purgatory. In this same book the old lady could tell the difference in one account when demons came to her. You also know of people with locutions and apparitions. Again My Church is cautious in testing all visionaries and the authenticity of their messages. Every time that you receive a message, you need to test the spirit for the truth.

Gifts to receive messages from the deceased at their funeral are another openness to receive the last words of that soul to their family. At times you also receive a knowledge of where they are being judged. All of these gifts are a help to understand My judgments, and how souls do go to heaven, purgatory, or hell when their body dies.

Your soul lives on forever because it is immortal, but your body only lives here a short time and dies. Follow My Commandments and give yourself over to My Will, and you will find your reward in heaven.”

Jesus said: “My people, the Gospel today is trying to teach you humility and not to be seeking fame and notoriety. I talked about some people who perform holy acts purposely in public to be seen, but their hearts are far from Me. These people have already received their reward here on earth. Some people perform their actions for their own benefit, instead of performing them for Me and My greater glory.

  •  

    When you do things out of love for Me than just for yourself, you are truly not far from My Kingdom of heaven. All of your prayers in private and your deeds done to please Me, will store up treasure in heaven. The saints always felt that they were unworthy servants doing only their duty. Being humble in My eyes is part of leading a holy life.

     

    Daily prayers and good deeds are your daily love offerings to Me. When you work to be holy in imitating My life, you will be walking the narrow road to heaven. I love My faithful even more when you follow My Will and allow Me to accomplish My mission for your life. Give praise and glory to Me in all that you do.”

Black Christ

 

 

Black Saints of the day—From the Black Saints reference book by James Wesly Smith, 456 pages, paperback, 1000 lines of Black and African Saints in the Latin Rite, Coptic and Orthodox branches of the Mystical Body of Christ (all Christianity combined) to year 599 A.D.

BLACK SAINT OF THE DAY

 

Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, My given name is Thasius Cyprianus. I was the Bishop of Carthage. I saw the sunrise of my life in Africa about the year of Our Lord, 200 A.D. in that city in Africa.

All my life and work occurred there. Known as the Priest Martyr, I was the son of a rich senator. He was pagan. I matriculated quickly in an excellent secular education.

Then attended the school of Carthage. I became an orator and rhetoric and philosophy instructor. Often I appeared at court defending townsfolk. I taught rhetoric oratory before I converted to the Christian one holy Catholic and Apostolic faith.

When converting, I assiduously studied Scripture, and my mentor, Tertullians writings. I spent my parents’ wealth, as well as the proceeds from banquets work. I continually questioned what truth was. Christianity gained my curiosity. I studied the writings of the African, Tertullian, the Presbyter (Elder), (born around 160 A.D.).

Later, I wrote my habits made it appear impossible for me to reach the revival promised by Yeshua, Jesus, and my Savior. Cecilius the Presbyter (Elder), (my spiritual mentor), helped me from my confusion. When I reached 46 years of age, I became a Christian catechumen.

Prior to my baptism, I gave my property to the poor. I moved to Cecilius’ house. Thus graced by God, I wrote my friend Donatus, "When the surge of regeneration cleansed my former life impurity, a light steady and bright, shone from Heaven in my heart. "

I was born again, invigorated by the Holy Spirit. My doubt was removed. God revealed to me mysteries. He made darkness, light. I learned that my former living in the flesh for sin belonged to the earthly. Now I began divine living by the Holy Spirit. "In God and from God is all our strength.

From Him is our might. Through Him we who live on earth receive the hint of a condition of future bliss.” The year following my baptism, I was ordained a priest. When Bishop Donatus of Carthage died, the faithful unanimously chose me as bishop in about the year 248 A.D.. I said, "Unconditionally, yes,” complying with my mentor's request.

I was ordained bishop of Carthage. Around the year in 248 A.D. church authorities elevated to the rank of bishop of Carthage. It was the time of the reign of terror in the persecutions of Roman Emperor Decius.

The Church’s welfare proved my first concern, along with the concomitant ridding of vices in the clergy and flock. Hopefully, my life caused the observing faithful a desire to imitate my God-given piety, humility, and wisdom with which God graced me. I became known beyond my diocese.

Bishops from other areas sought my counsel. But persecution by the emperor Decius 249 A.D. to 251 A.D. revealed to me in a dream, forced me to hide. My life was necessary to my flock. I conducted my life to the strengthening faith and courage among my persecuted.

Prior to my leaving, I distributed the church treasury among all the clergy to help to the poor. I later sent additional funds. Through my letters (called epistles) to Presbyter (Elder)s, confessors and martyrs, I kept constant touch with Carthaginian Christians.

Some in my flock offered the Roman required sacricies to the false Roman gods. Some congregants said they did, when they did not. I was called to mediate he controversy of allowing such apostates back into the Mystical Body of Christ. Church hierarchy required they do penance before readmittance to the Church.

Because I refused to sacrifice to the false gods. Weakened by torture, some faithful souls offered sacrifice to pagan gods. Later, these lapsed Christians appealed to confessors for a letter of reconciliation. This intercession certificate accepted the lapsed back to the Church.

I wrote all Carthaginian Christians a general communication regarding this important matter. I said that those lapsed during a time of persecution might be re- admitted to the Church only after penance and with the local bishop’s permission.

But I cautioned that Bishops must investigate the situation under which the lapse happened. Examination of the lapsed proved necessary to learn their sincere contrition. For some of the fallen wanted immediate Church re-admittance.

This stirred community turmoil. I asked counsel and opinions of other diocese bishops. All approved my rules. During my absence, I delegated authority to four priest examiners of persons preparing for ordination to the priesthood and the diaconate.

But there was mischief. Two influential persons resisted Felicissimus, and the Presbyter (Elder), Novatus. I excommunicated Felicissimus with his six accomplices. My letter to the African Church Carthage, cautioned all not to split themselves from Church unity. I told them to wait my return. I counseled them to obey the lawful commands of the administering bishop in my absence.

Most Carthaginian Christians remained faithful. A Local Council ended Felicissimus defiance when I returned in 251 A.D. That enclave judged the reception of the lapsed back into the Church after a church penance. It further upheld the Felicissimus’ excommunication.

A new schism (break in the Church unity) arose through the auspices of the Roman Presbyter (Elder), Novatian. Novatus, a former Felicissimus associate, and Carthaginian Presbyter (Elder), joined the movement.

Novatian taught that if Christians repented of their sin, the lapsed Christians during time of persecution could not be re-admitted. Both Novatian and Novatus convinced three Italian bishops during the tenure of the lawful Roman bishop Celerinus to place another bishop on the Roman cathedra.

At first, I wrote a series of circular letters to the African bishops condemning these wrongs. Later, I composed an entire tome, "On the Unity of the Church.” Just as the attenuation of discord in the Carthage church began, a plague erupted. Hundreds died in Carthage. Folks abandoned the sick with no help.

The dead were left unburied. God graced me by my example, and fortitude, to personally tend the sick and bury not only Christian, but also pagan dead as well. Drought and famine followed, and those calamities by the barbarian Numidians. These enslaved many of the residents.

We petitioned wealthy Carthaginians to develop support methods to feed the starving and ransom captives. On top of that, Emperor Valerian (253 A.D. to 259 A.D.) ordered Christian persecutions anew again. Paternus, the Carthaginian proconsul, ordered the faithful to sacrifice to idols. I refused.

I also remained silent as to the names and residences of the Presbyter (Elder)s of the Carthage Church. I was sent to Corubisum. Deacon Pontus voluntarily followed me into exile. After arriving, I dreamed/envisioned a quick martyr's end. I wrote letters and books.

But my martyrdom at Carthage caused me to return. However, the court set me free until the next year. During that time, Carthaginian Christians bade me farewell and asked to receive my blessing. In a later trial, I again refused to idol sacrifice to idols. The court sentenced me to beheading. "Thanks be to God!” I said. All the Christians present said in unified voice, “We want to die with him!"

At the execution, I blessed all present. I gave 25 gold coins to the executioner. I covered my eyes. I myself had my hands bound the Presbyter (Elder), and archdeacon standing nearby, then lowered my head. Christians crying placed their shawls and veils by me to gather my blood. I was martyred 258 A.D. martyred in 258 A.D..

At night, the faithful took by body and buried me in the private crypt of the procurator, Macrovius Candidianus. Some 500 years later, my holy relics were transferred to France, during the reign of Charlemagne, King Charles the Great. Hieromartyr, Aug. 31

Eucharistic Adoration
 

Monday, July 07, 2008

 

Dear Friends,

 

Here is a short reading from John 6: 47  51: Jesus said, Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.

 

We had another fine day yesterday with bright sun the whole day and a nice little wind in the evening and the temperature was around 25 degrees Celsius. The forecast shows that we will have a beautiful week with no rain and the temperature between 22 and 25 degrees.

 

I will celebrate Holy Mass this afternoon at the Manor in Alberton. It is always a joy to go there and to visit our seniors and they love to come to the chapel for Holy Mass. Also more visitors will come to visit Our Lady of Prince Edward Island's little shrine.

 

I got good news from my trip in the USA. Two people received a healing in Maine and another received a healing at the Healing Mass at the little shrine on Friday. Our Lord shows His great love by healing the sick.

 

I have finished with the book of Dr. Bob Rice. Now I will refer to a holy lady who wrote a book called Conversations with the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus'. Here is a quotation from this book:

 

Today I wish to direct attention, once again, to the hectic pace of the modern world. Children, come and sit with Me in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. I am in every tabernacle throughout the world. Think of one now, and picture Me there... I am truly there. 'What does He do?' you might ask. I tell you, My child, I am not bored. I think about you. I worry if you are far away. I suffer if you have chosen worldly paths and you are endangering your soul. I am sad each day if there is no hope of a visit from you. I ask My Father to have mercy on you. I direct My angels to watch over you in the hope that someday you will return to Me. My child, how often during your day do you think of me? You are thinking of Me now, as you read these words. So while your mind is resting upon Me, let me tell you that I love you. I want only your happiness. I can help you in everything. I can solve your problems and heal your wounds. My child, come and sit before the Eucharist in any tabernacle. My graces and blessings will flow out to you. I want you to sit and soak in the silence. You may close your eyes there and I will fill your precious head with a stream of heavenly thoughts. I have so much to share with you. I have seen every injury you have experienced. I longed to comfort you. Let me comfort you now.

 

Let us take these words of Jesus to heart and spend time with Jesus in the Blessed Eucharist at least once a week. He will surely bless us with His love and peace.

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
 

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.

How I Began Hearing the Lord/The Father's Wish - Lec


This is What I Heard
June 26, 2008
6:40 AM

The Father

Son, I AM pleased at the time and effort you give to propagate the devotion to
me..THE FATHER OF ALL MANKIND. Make it easy for people to approach me. Explain
how you win your closeness to me in very simple yet touching terms and I will
put the words into your mind.
You have enough time to prepare and write. Share the prayers taught thru
Barbara Centilli exactly two days before the start of the Octave prayers so that
the notice will come just in time and people will not forget.

There will be no need to tell people to procure the rosary beads for the
prayers. They can use any method they prefer to keep track of their prayers.

Go in peace Son.

Message Reception Ended: 6:50 AM Duration: 10 Minutes

- On July 3, 2008
6:45 AM

The Father

Son, believe my words. I AM pouring out my spirit on my Feast Day revealed
thru my messenger. Many faithful ones will begin hearing me in their heart.
Tell what I want them to be aware of ..my feast day is getting nearer.

Tell them my words given to Barbara as my words remain the same today as before.
My faithful will need my close guidance in the very near term, hence my desire
to come to more of my faithful children and let them hear my voice.

Share me with others as others have shared me with you.

Go in peace!


Duration: 5 Minutes

Lec's Remarks The message thru the Visionary Barbara Centilli which came to me
way back the year 1999 paved the way for me to have a close personal
relationship with the Father. His words in that Barbara message contained that
promise.

In the Philippines, I must give due acknowledgement and thankfulness for the
time, effort and sharing of resources that a brother in the faith by the name of
Cesar A. Ymson had expended to digest and summarize the most essential points
in the message and reduced the original booksize message to leaflet form, a copy
of which I got hold of in the year 1999, month of July at the same church venue,
the St. Francis Church at Shaw Blvd. where I currently receive the Father's
communication.

The Father of All Mankind loves his creation. He loves us. He wants to have a
personal closeness with each one of us.

Note: The Book entitled "SEEING WITH THE EYES OF THE SOUL" bears the imprimatur
of Archbishop Nicholas D' Antonio of New Orleans:

Beginning July 27, 2008 (Sunday), if you are called to this prayer, just say the
following simple prayers:

In the absence of a medal designed for that purpose, simply pray with all of
your heart:

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Dearest God Our Father, I humbly ask that on my journey home to You, Your Holy
Angels protect and guide me; that Your Blessed Saints in Heaven intercede for
me; and that Your Suffering Souls in Purgatory pray for me, as I pray for them
now. Amen.

1. One Hail Mary

2. Jesus, my God and my Savior, You loved me so much, You died for me on the
Cross, so that I too, could return to our Father in Heaven. You are the Way,
the Truth and the Life. Through Your Holy Eucharist, please sustain me and be
present with me always on my journey home. Amen

3. Holy Spirit, my God and my Sanctifier, Jesus sent You to me for my journey
back to the Father. Please purify and refine me. Fill me with Your Divine
Light and Love so that the Presence of God may dwell in me. Amen.

The eight major Octaves:

To be prayed starting on July 27, 2008

I. The Disobedience and Exile of God's children Pray: Our Father, then

1. In PRAISE, I love you Father, and I give myself to you!

Excerpts from the Book "Seeing With the Eyes of the Soul"

October 10, 1996 "The Father Speaks:
"My Tabernacle, My Church, My People have been contaminated. Where darkness is,
I cannot be. The darkness must be displaced. To do this takes 8 days of
preparation. Only then will I come only then.


October 30, 1996 Message of the Father of All Mankind:
"Your gift to me is the CONSECRATION. This is to be a yearly feast, an 8-day
feast. This Feast and Consecration will take place on the First Sunday of
August (August 3, 2008).

February 8, 1997 The Father of All Mankind "Deep within the recesses of the soul
is a quiet spot where ONLY I CAN RESIDE. All are born with it. Here you can
and must meet Me so that I can draw you to Myself. Inside all of you is a
tabernacle designed by Me. It has been buried and covered with the distractions
of the world. Uncover this secret place. Say" I LOVE YOU, FATHER, AND I GIVE
MYSELF TO YOU! In this way, they will find me.

April 5, 1997 "Speak to the people. Tell them of my Love and my Promise. If
they respond to my request, I will come. This is my Promise. If my children
respond, I will come on my feast day, first Sunday of August.

Lec's testimony The Father's promise that he will come was fulfilled for me.
Since that time he said He will come, I started hearing Him in the still, small
inner voice felt from the heart and not from the brain. I can hear His voice
and can talk to Him and he responds in very simple terms since 1999 but only
April last year (2007) did I receive full communication which I began posting
on the internet.

 

Our Lady of All Nations to littlest of all servants July 6, 2008

My dear, dear children today I ANNOUNCE to that a major event is near. This
event will have an impact on the entire world and it will cause many people to
take a look at the way they have been living. Some will change. Some will not.
To some it will be a confirmation that we are indeed in the END TIMES.

That is the end of this AGE not the end of the world. This will be the
beginning of major changes in the world which will CULMINATE with the end of
this world as you know it and the beginning of a NEW WORLD. A NEW ERA. A NEW
WORLD without WAR, HATE, AND DESTRUCTION. The ERA OF LIVING IN GOD'S DIVINE
WILL.

To get to this ERA MANKIND has chosen a most difficult road. It will be a road
that will be full of HARDSHIPS AND TRIALS. But to the ONES who stay loyal to My
SON through it all a NEW PARADISE ON EARTH awaits them. PRAY now My children
for others that they might be SAVED. PRAY that you will be given the STRENGTH
to complete this journey.

PRAY, most importantly, giving thanks to My SON for HIS GREAT SACRIFICE ON THE
CROSS and for the GREAT GIFTS OF CONFESSION AND HOLY COMMUNION.


YOUR LOVING MOTHER

Jesus Seeks Acknowledgement From His People


At the 8:00 A.M. Mass at Our Lady Of Sorrows, I made humble offerings to
Jesus and Mary and prayed for the special needs and intentions of all. Before
receiving the most sacred Body and Blood of Jesus, I made an Act Of Contrition.


On my knees in meditation with Jesus I prayed; Speak Lord (if it be Your
will), Your servant listens.



I soon began to seen a huge tunnel of dark smoke across the sky very, very
wide, and it was coming from the earth. The surrounding area looked to be a pale
blue and reminiscent of something that was cold!


Then Jesus spoke saying There will come a huge volcano with climatic
changes. Many other earthly disturbances will also occur almost simultaneously
and whatever it takes for My people to know that I AM!

It is better that My people suffer in this world and acknowledge Me than to
one day reach My Father's throne and have Him say Who Are You? Go in peace to
love and serve the Lord. Continue praying for your brothers and sisters.

 

 

Medjugorje Day By Day July 08 - Abandon yourselves to God

 

 

Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who said "let us be all for Jesus through
Mary," was one of the greatest instruments of peace in our time.  She wrote,  "What will convert America and save the world?  My answer is prayer.  What we need is for every Parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in Holy Hours of prayer."  "Perpetual adoration is the most beautiful thing you could ever think of doing.  People are hungry for God."
    As Mother Teresa wrote, "The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament . . . will help bring about everlasting peace on earth."  "I beg the Blessed Mother to touch the hearts of all parish priests that they may have Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in their parishes, and that it may spread throughout the entire world."

 

Pope John Paul II -

Pope John Paul II to Archbishop Benitez November 1994
"Authorize everything that concerns Medjugorje."
Medjugorje and the Church, Sr Emmanuel & Denis Nolan p 21

 

Mother Teresa  -

People who are unloved and unwanted are, just like us, children of God. Even more, they are Christ in our midst and they belong to us. They are our brothers and sisters.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

I would prefer to be stabbed with a steel blade, rather than offend someone (T 45).

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

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

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

 

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

 

O day of eternity, O day so long desired,
With thirst and longing, my eyes search You out.
Soon love will tear the veil asunder,
and You will be my salvation.

O day most solemn, O day of brightness,
When the soul will know God in is omnipotence
And drown totally in His love.
Knowing the miseries of exile are o'er.

O happy day, O blessed day,
When my heart will burn for You with fire eternal,
For even now I feel Your presence, through the veil.
Through life and death, O Jesus,
     You are my rapture and delight.

O day, of which I dreamed through all my life,
Waiting long for You, O God,
For it is You alone whom I desire.
You are the one and only of my heart; all else is naught.

O day of delight, day of eternal bliss,
God of great majesty, my beloved Spouse,
You know that nothing will satisfy a virgin heart.
On Your tender Heart I rest my brow.       (1230)

 

 

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 8 - Abandon yourselves to God

From Our Lady's Weekly message of August 9, 1984:

Dear Children, Satan continues to hinder my plans. Pray, Pray, Pray! Abandon yourselves to God in prayer. Pray with the heart. (WM 8-9-84)

Christ asks us to present our needs to the Father in prayer:

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. (Jn 15:7-8)

Reflection:

One of the fruits of prayer is trust in God; he becomes our refuge and safe harbor. "All things work together," writes the English poet R.H. Benson, "if one will but trust God." Trusting, confident prayer is the fruit of a fervent faith that believes the Lord hears every request.

From the Shepherd of Hermas:

Cast off indecision and doubt not in the least, when asking anything from God....Those who are divided in purpose are they who waver before the Lord and altogether fail to obtain any of their requests. But those who are wholly perfect in the faith ask everything with reliance on the Lord and they receive.

Application:

After your prayers of petition today, confidently thank the Lord for hearing and answering your requests.

 

 

Medjugorje Day By Day July 07 - Be The Carriers of My Peace

 

"The greatest love story of all time is contained in a tiny white Host."  Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

 

Mother Teresa  -

The Father's love, the Son's love, and our love is but a giving until it hurts.

 

Meditations by Padre Pio -

The enemy is very strong and all things considered it seems that victory must smile on him. Alas! Who is to save me from the hands of so strong and powerful an enemy who allows me not a moment of freedom day or night? Is it possible that the Lord will allow my downfall? Unhappily this is what I deserve, but can it be that the heavenly Father's goodness will be outdone by my wickedness? This will never, never be, my dear Father (Letters III p 618).

 

 

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

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

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

 

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

  My Lord and Creator, Your goodness encourages me to converse with You. Your mercy abolishes the chasm which separates the Creator from the creature. To converse with You, O Lord, is the delight of my heart. In You I find everything that my heart could desire. Here Your light illumines my mind, enabling it to know You more and more deeply. Here streams of graces flow down upon my heart. Here my soul draws eternal life. O my Lord and Creator, You alone, beyond all these gifts, give Your own self to me and unite Yourself intimately with Your miserable creature. Here, without searching for words, our hearts understand each other. Here, no one is able to interrupt our conversation. What I talk to You about, Jesus, is our secret, which creatures shall not know and Angels dare not ask about. These are secret acts of forgiveness, known only to Jesus and me; this is the mystery of His mercy, which embraces each soul separately, For this incomprehensible goodness of Yours, I adore You, O Lord and Creator, with all my heart and all my soul. And, although my worship is so little and poor, I am at peace because I know that You know it is sincere, however inadequate...(1692)

July 7 - Be The Carriers of My Peace

Our Lady gave the following message to Vicka for the prayer group:

Dear Children, I give you my motherly blessing and ask you to be the carriers of my peace, and to pray for peace in the world. (VPG 11-14-88)

In Colossians, Paul also speaks of peace:

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. (Col 3:15)

Reflection:

One of the great passages on peace was engraved on a monument dated 1629 in a Baltimore church. It has come down to us known as the Desiderata. The following excerpt is an appropriate reflection today with our readings on peace:

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story...

You are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees and the stars. You have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore, be at peace with God, however you conceive him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

Application:

Explore the wisdom of the Desiderata by reflecting on it again during your prayer time today.

Tonight we prayed The Litany Prayers

 

 The beginning of the 4th decade, The Blessed Mother has appeared as…

 

“Our Lady Of Fatima”
 

Michael said:  I bow down only to Jesus Christ


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

 

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


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


-and now I see a very LARGE BROWN ANCHOR (The Anchor signifies ‘hope’)


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

Black Christ

 

Black Saints of the day—From the Black Saints reference book by James Wesly Smith, 456 pages, paperback, 1000 lines of Black and African Saints in the Latin Rite, Coptic and Orthodox branches of the Mystical Body of Christ (all Christianity combined) to year 599 A.D. Order from BarnesandNobles.com, Ingram Book Group internationally, Amazon, wherever online books are sold, or quickly from www.booklocker.com/books/3088.html

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.

Medjugorge Message- FEAR NOTHING

 

"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.

"THY WILL BE DONE"

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. (With ecclesiastical approval)

BLACK SAINT OF THE DAY

 

Mark..Khemetian, born in Africa. Tradition holds that originally, Peter and Mark set out on evangelization mission. But one night, Peter dreamed he had go with Mark, to Rome and then to Alexandria, Kemet. Mark preached in Rome, and then returned to Kemet. His efforts drew many to Christ. He finally landed in Alexandria. Another tradition by Eusebius, accords Mark the first bishop of Alexandria. As he entered the city gates, a sandal rap broke. A shoemaker was chosen to fix the leather—Anianus. He became Mark’s first disciple and convert to Yeshua, Jesus the Christ in Alexandria. Enemies, however, sought out Mark. The writer of the Gospel of Mark after sufficient teaching, appointed Anianus bishop, and ordained three priests and seven deacons. Leaving the city, he told them to "serve and comfort the faithful brethren.” After some years, Mark returned. The Christian community had grown considerably. But his enemies had not forgotten him. They jailed him. On the following morning, Mark’s neck was tied with a rope. The malefactors dragged him by the neck from Alexandria up to the little port of Bucoles until he died. They attempted to burn the body. The flames would not touch it. Christians in the community claimed the remains, burying it in a Church Mark had founded. It is said he is the first Christian martyr of the Church in Kemet. He is credited with writing one of the four Christian canonical gospels, or at least his name and influence is attached to it. Severus, Bishop of Al-Ushmunain, in late tenth century in his Life of Apostle and Evangelist Mark, said Mark was one of the wine pouring servants that Jesus turned from water at marriage feast of Cana. Severus goes on to say that, Mark’s house was where Jesus appeared to disciples who were hiding after His resurrection dead. Anianus, the shoemaker of the sandal of Mark, became a saint, whose memorial is celebrated under Anianus.

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.

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.

Independence Day - July 4, 2008

On our nation?s birthday, we hear the traditional cheers of freedom and peace and patriotism as well as change. However, this year it is especially hard not to be even more aware of war, natural disasters, devastation, economical hardships, foreclosures, corruption, disease, freedom of choice and embryonical stem cell research. Although her words continue to be ignored, year after year, maybe it would be good to try again to place the Our Lady of Emmitsburg's contribution to World Peace in front of all her children!

PRAYER TO SAVE AMERICA

O merciful God, we cry to Thee for pardon and for mercy.
We are an unbelieving and perverse generation.
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.
Merciful Father, spare America!
Forgive us!
Save us from the scourge we deserve.
Teach us Thy law, and move our wills to serve Thee today and everyday.
Merciful God, please spare America!
O Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Pray for us!

The Feast of St. Maria Goretti - July 6, 2008

It was not just a coincidence that the mystical events involving Gianna Sullivan and several other young adults began in 1988 in the affluent local suburban parish of St. Maria Goretti in Scottsdale, Arizona. St. Maria Goretti has become the modern-day model for young Christians committed by action and example to prayer, chastity, forgiveness, and love of God in the Eucharist.

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

 

Prayer request from littlest of servants

I was asked by "the littlest of servants" to ask you to put out a
prayer request for more prayers this weekend. He said that something is in the works and we can pray to mitigate it or delay it.

Thank you and God Bless, Helen

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.

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.

 

Father Melvin

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.’”

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.

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.

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!"

End of message

 

 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

"What the blood plasma is to the human body, that of the Eucharist is to the

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.

Flight into Egypt to littlest of servants June 29, 2008



My dear, dear children as I, St. Joseph, and baby JESUS had to flee our home to
go to Egypt to escape certain death soon My faithful remnant will need to flee
their homes for the places of refuge.

Just as the flight to Egypt is listed as My second SORROW so will it also be
difficult and sorrowful to leave your homes. Just as My journey was difficult
and I needed the FATHER'S help so will your journey be difficult and you shall
also have the help of GOD'S assistance.

The Words of God the Father through Gianna Talone Sullivan To the World June 8,
2008

My Children of Humanity,


I love you, and I thank you for all of your prayers. As the God of your fathers
and forefathers, I am your God of Light, always there to be by you, to protect
you and to intervene. I am a good, loving Father; and yet, so many are afraid
to come to Me.


Please, children, in all my messages to you, whether they be warnings or
challenges, I am still a compassionate Father, full of Mercy and Love. Look to
me, and change your ways. What  father would deny a son or a daughter for
straying from the Truth?


Let us celebrate and know, with all of your hearts and with love, a great new
beginning awaits you, one where I will be with you.



Peace to you, and receive My blessings. You are never alone, in all that you do
and in all that you say. In everything that you are, I am!



Peace.

 

recent misrepresentations and distortions about Emmitsburg


Praise the Good God! Bless the All Holy Lord! For His Perfect Gifts Give
Thanks!


Notice - The Feast of the First Holy Martyrs of the Holy Roman Church

Due to recent misrepresentations and distortions of the truth in the local
secular media in the Emmitsburg Maryland area, it seems appropriate to review
how the Roman Catholic Church has acted in the past in explaining the purpose of
private revelation as well as reference a sample of relatively recent alleged
apparitions which the Church has deemed as reliable and worthy of belief.
Regrettably, the recent reporting demonstrates an obvious and apparent lack of
understanding of the matters related to Marian apparitions both by the reporters
and some of the principal interviewees. Thus, each of the items in below have
been selected to provide very pertinent information to better understand to
these matters of grave concern.



Pope John XXIII on Private Revelation

Pope John XXIII refers to the purpose of authentic private revelation in his
1959 address as the close of the Marian Year (Feb. 18, 1959):

?The Roman Pontiffs?.also have the duty, when after mature examination, they
deem necessary for the common good of bringing to the attention of the faithful
those supernatural lights which it pleases God to dispense freely to certain
privileged souls, not for the purpose of presenting new doctrines, but rather to
guide us in our conduct.?



Lumen Gentium

In Lumen Gentium, (Vatican II, Section 12), the Council Fathers urged the
faithful to be open and attentive to the ways in which the Holy Spirit continues
to guide the Church, including private revelations. We hear:

?Whether these charisms be very remarkable or more simple and widely diffused,
they are to be received with thanksgiving and consolation since they are fitting
and useful for the needs of the Church. Extraordinary gifts are not to be rashly
desired, nor is it from them that the fruits of apostolic labor are to be
presumptuously expected. Those who have charge over the Church should judge the
genuineness and proper use of these gifts through their office, not indeed to
extinguish the Spirit, but to test all things and hold fast to what is good.?
(cv. Thessalonias 5:12 & 19-21).



Pope Benedict XVI

Pope Benedict XVI, in his commentary on the Third Secret of Fatima in June,
2000, said that private revelation can be a genuine help in understanding the
Gospel and living it better at a particular moment in time; ?therefore it should
not be disregarded. It is a help which is offered, but which one is not obliged
to use.?



The Catechism of the Catholic Church

?Throughout the ages, there have been so-called ?private revelations,some of
which have been recognized by the authority of the Church. They do not belong,
however, to the deposit of the faith. It is not their role to improve or
complete Christ?s definitive Revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a
certain period of history.(CCC, Ch. 2, III, 67)



Apparitions, Visionaries, Messages & the Church's Response

LaSalette, France, 1846 - Apparition to Melanie Calvat

?The Church would be severely attacked and the monster (communism) would be
unleashed at the end of the Nineteenth or beginning of the Twentieth Century.
Rome will lose faith and become the seat of Antichrist, and the Church will be
in eclipse. Many chastisements are predicted, the Antichrist will be defeated,
fire will purge the earth and consume all the work of menspride, and all will
be renewed.LaSalette was approved by the Church in 1851.

The Apparitions of LaSalette...

Fatima, Portugal, 1917 - The Third Apparition of Our Lady

?If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace;
if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and
persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have
much to suffer, several nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate
Heart will Triumph.Fatima was approved by the Church in October, 1930.

The Third Apparition of Fatima...

Akita, Japan - The Third & Last Message to Sr. Agnes Sasagawa, October 12, 1973

??if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict terrible
punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge,
such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will
wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither
priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they
will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary
and the Sign (the Cross) left by my Son.The Akita events and messages were
pronounced as reliable and worthy of by belief by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger,
Prefect, Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Vatican City, June, 1988,
after Most Rev. John Ito, Bishop of Niigata, Japan, after years of extensive
investigation declared the events to be of supernatural origin in April, 1984.

Our Lady of Akita...



A New Beginning

Some might regard the above Church-approved messages from Our Lady as ?doom and
gloom.Others might consider them serious, somber, and yet, hope-filled, and an
accurate assessment of what may be needed for God to bring all His children home
to Him for eternity. Certainly, none of them prophesied the ?end of the world,?
nor did the great flood in Noah?s time bring about the end of the world.

In June, 2008, at the Center of Her Immaculate Heart in the Emmitsburg area,
both Our Lady of Emmitsburg and God the Father addressed these same serious
matters.

Our Lady of Emmitsburg - June 1, 2008:

?When you see the ?two sunson the horizon, you must know that this is a time
of change, a time of this new beginning about which I have spoken to you
before?.After a while, you will see a time when there is another body in orbit
around your solar system, coming between Earth and the Sun and leading to
tremendous devastation. Approximately 60-70% of the world?s population, as you
know it, will cease....Prayer is the answer!...So prepare, spiritually
prepare?.God has a special plan, a new beginning!?

Our Lady of Emmitsburg June 1, 2008 (Full Text)...

Words of God the Father, through Gianna Sullivan - June 8, 2008:

?As the God of your fathers and forefathers, I am your God of Light, always
there to be by you, to protect you and to intervene.... In all My messages to
you, whether they be warnings or challenges, I am still a compassionate Father,
full of Mercy and Love.... Let us celebrate and know, with all of your hearts
and with love a great new beginning awaits you, one where I will be with you!?

The apparitions of Our Lady to Gianna Sullivan in Emmitsburg, MD, and the other
fruits of these events that began occurring after the 2001 Archdiocesan
Commission, including the ?Hidden Life of Our Lord,the Words of God the
Father, many of the prophetic words of Our Lord and Our Lady, as well as the
sophisticated scientific testing of Gianna during ecstasy in 2004 by a team of
independent, international researchers, done at a major East Coast medical
center, have yet to be evaluated or reviewed by any formal Church investigative
commission.

Words of God the Father, June 8, 2008 (Full Text)...



What Does the Bible Say?

It would be difficult for many of the faithful to call the above messages from
Our Lady of Emmitsburg and God the Father ?doom and gloom,and even more
inaccurate to label them as ?end of the world prophesy,and those who believe
them to be true as ?doomsday cultists.Unfortunately that is what has been
done.

Still others may chide that if it is not in the Bible, Sacred Scripture, it
cannot be from God. However, all may want to pray and ponder the words of the
Prophet Zechariah:

?In all the land,says the Lord, ?two-thirds of them shall be cut off and
perish, and one-third shall be left. I will bring the one-third through fire,
and I will refine them as silver is refined, and I will test them as gold is
tested. They shall call upon my name, and I will hear them.(Zech 13:8-9)



End of an Era

To the dismay of the learned and the elite and to the consolation of the
?littlechildren, much of what has been revealed by God, both in His Public
Revelation as well as in private revelation, remains a ?mystery.Some things
humanity will not know in this world. However there are other things that God
has allowed us to attempt to understand, even with our limited intellects. Two
of these are provided below:

The Purification...

The Mysteries of the End Times...



Thoughts of Marian Theologians and Scholars

A brief 20-minute 2007 video documenting what several of the leading Marian
theologians and scholars in the world believe about these mystical events
involving Gianna Sullivan in Emmitsburg, MD, can be seen at:

Our Lady of Emmitsburg June 1, 2008 (Full Text)...



Pope Paul VI

Since the abolition of Canon 1399 and 2318 of the former Cononical Code by Pope
Paul VI in AAS 58 (1966) 1186, publications about new appearances, revelations,
prophecies, miracles, etc., have been allowed to be distributed and read by the
faithful without the express permission of the Church, providing that they
contain nothing which contravenes faith and morals. This means no imprimatur is
necessary.

God, our Father, you transformed St. Paul from a persecutor of Christianity to an impassioned apostle, suffering every kind of hardship to make Jesus Christ known to the world. Through his intercession, give us grace to see the difficulties of life as opportunities to grow in holiness. May the example of St. Paul inspire vocations, sustain those working for the Gospel and make all hearts open to your will. May his Spirit-filled words help our nation turn from false paths and see Christ as the Way, the Truth and the Life. By his prayers, may we always seek the kingdom of God and his justice. Through Christ our Lord in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.


(adapted from prayer by Blessed James Alberione)

 

The Hour Is Late"..and we have a death wish in process--Fr.John Corapi 6/26/08
 
 
 The online version:  http://www.fathercorapi.com/June-26-2008Email.html


I have been celebrating Mass at a local parish while the pastor is away the past few weeks. Many of the readings during that time concerned the prophets and their message and trials. I was moved to reflect once again on the prophetic dimension of our Baptism in Christ-Priest, Prophet and King.  Several decades ago, the great Archbishop Fulton Sheen said,


        “The prophetic voice of Christ has all but been stilled in the Church today.”
To the degree we fail in this prophetic mission, the world will sink into oblivion  under the increasing weight of its sins.


In my lifetime the United States has gone from 'quite a wholesome, rational, and moral country,' to one that is largely decadent, irrational, and immoral. Most people seem to be hardened to it, unconcerned that we have a death wish in process.


First it was artificial contraception, then abortion, then partial-birth abortion, then infanticide (all of which have been supported by many liberal politicians at one time or another, even some running for president) not to mention euthanasia, and outright killing of the disabled and sick. Actually, it's even worse. Terri Schiavo wasn't sick. She didn't die from an illness. They killed her by starvation, a very cruel way to die.


Now its same sex marriage {no transmission of life, no fruit of natural love} and we 'call it' inclusive and just. It is yet another nail in the coffin of a society that is clearly dying. Every stage of life is under assault by the forces of death. From prevention of life through artificial contraception, to abortion, which is homicide by definition in each case {the taking of the life of an innocent human being}, and genocide taken as a whole. Preventing life, ending life from the youngest to the oldest. We call it progress. It is a death wish, and we had better watch what we wish for!


"All that evil requires to prosper is that good men remain silent.” 'The hour is late.' We have had years to change course. Instead, we have obstinately refused and gone from bad to worse. May God have mercy on us, and grant us the courage and strength to act in accordance with that truth.


God bless you,
Fr. John Corapi

MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN …

        DISASTERS CONTINUE … AND THIS SHOULD BE NO SURPRISE TO YOU OR TO

ANYONE … THAT DISASTERS ARE CONTINUING … NOW CALIFORNIA WITH THE WILD FIRES … AND THEY DO DAMAGE … NOW TO THE VALLEY’S WHERE THEY RAISE GRAPES … BUT DOES IT STOP HERE… NO …

 

DISASTERS CONTINUE THROUGH OUT THE WORLD … AND IF YOU DID NOT READ … ABOUT … WHAT IS TO TAKE PLACE … YOU WILL SOON …

 

ABOUT ISRAEL WILL NOT WAIT FOR THE UNITED STATES …


TO TAKE CARE AND FIGHT IRAN …


ISRAEL WILL FIGHT IRAN … ALONE …


THEY WILL STRIKE IRAN … BEFORE THE YEAR IS OVER …

 

WHERE DOES PEACE COME IN WHEN WILL WAR COME INAND EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WOULD HAVE PEACE … AS I HAD SAID MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN: … LOOK AROUND … LOOK IN YOUR OWN HOME TOWNS … YOU DO NOT NEED A TELEVISION … OR NEWSPAPERS … OR RADIO TO TELL YOU … HOW THINGS ARE NOT GOING SO EASILY FOR PEOPLE  IN THE WORLD … THE WAY PEOPLE ARE DRIVING CAUSING MORE ACCIDENTS … BURGLARIES … SHOOTINGS … IT IS HAPPENING … ALL AROUND THE WORLD …
 

WHEN WILL IT END


HOW CAN IT END


PRAYER … I HAD SAID QUITE A WHILE AGO … IF THE WHOLE WORLD PRAYED THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TIME FOR WAR …

 

MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN …

        THE RETURN OF MY SON … IS NOT … FAR … HE IS HOPING AND PRAYING … THAT PEOPLE CHANGE … AND GET CLOSER TO HIM … TO MY SON … YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST …

 

IT IS NO SIN TO HOPE FOR SOMETHING … YOU CAN HOPE FOR ONLY ‘GOOD’ THINGS … AND NOT … ‘EVIL THINGS’ … AND EVIL THINGS … IS MANY … MANY DIFFERENT THINGS … IT CAN BE LUST … BUT THE MOST THAT PEOPLE HOPE FOR IS … MONEY … AND YOU CAN NOT HOPE FOR THIS … OR WISH FOR IT …

 

YOU CAN HOPE FOR ‘PEACE’ IN THE WORLD … YOU CAN ‘HOPE’ THAT PEOPLE … GO BACK TO THE CHURCH … AND ATTEND WEEKLY MASS … AT LEAST …

AS I WOULD HOPE FOR PEOPLE … WHO WOULD WANT TO BE PROTECTED UNDER MY MANTLE … BUT PEOPLE DO HAVE ‘FREE-WILL’ …

 

MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN …

        I DO NOT LOOK FOR ANY TYPE OF GIFT … IF YOUR PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED … THE BEST GIFT THAT YOU CAN GIVE … AND I WOULD ACCEPT … ARE PRAYERS … YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS … IS THERE … AND IS APPRECIATED … BUT THE GIFT OF PRAYER … IS SO ‘OVER WHELMING” … ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU PRAY … ‘FROM YOUR HEART’ …

 

PLEASE MY DEAR … DEAR CHILDREN … GO TO CONFESSION … HAVE YOUR SOULS ‘CLEANSED’ FOR THE RETURN OF MY SON YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR … JESUS CHRIST … ATTEND MASS … AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE … AND RECEIVE THE BODY OF MY SON JESUS CHRIST …

 

A FEW MOMENTS AGO … I HAD SAID:  I HOPE THAT PEOPLE WANT TO BE UNDER MY MANTLE … I KNOW … FOR A LONG TIME … THAT MY SON … YOUR MESSENGER ‘MICHAEL’ WANTS TO BE UNDER MY MANTLE  … ESPECIALLY FOR TOMORROW MORNING AS HE IS HAVING SURGERY … KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS MY DEAR CHILDREN … AS PRAYERS ALSO HEAL …

 

AND WHEN SOMEONE … DOES NOT HEAL SO QUICKLY … EVEN FROM PRAYERS … DO NOT HAVE ‘DOUBT’ … DOUBT IS NOT IN OUR VOCABULARY … BUT HAVE TRUST … AND BELIEVE IN YOUR FAITH …

 

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

Looking Forward to Heaven
From: My Daily Bread, Chapter 19





CHRIST'S VOICE:

My CHILD, in your daily life think often of Heaven. Do not let earthly desires
dim the vision of your last and highest goal. This vision will bring you peace
in adversity and joy in time of trial.

2. In Heaven you shall have more than you have ever desired, more than
you ever imagined. You will never know the end of your joy, nor will you be
tormented by the fear of losing what, you love. You will ways have what you
want, and you will always want what is best. You will share My knowledge, and My
happiness will fill your soul.

3. In Heaven no one shall ever have reason to complain about you. No
one will resist you nor spoil your plans. You will enjoy at one and the same
time all the things you love. I shall give you a glory undreamed, as a reward
for your victories over temptation on earth. You will receive an all-satisfying
praise for your patience and for your loyalty to Me in your earthly trials. My
infinite love for you will be shown in gifts unmatched on earth.



THINK:

Human language could never describe Heaven. WhyBecause in all human
experience there are no words which can tell us what Heaven is like. St. Paul
was granted a vision of Heaven, and yet he could not tell us what it is like.
All he could say was that we have never seen, nor heard, nor even imagined what
Heaven is like. This thought of Heaven's greatness should impress me very much.
Every moment brings me nearer to this all-glorious life. How small and
insignificant are my earthly sufferings and trials when compared with this
all-satisfying, never-ending reward!



PRAY:

O Jesus, King of Glory, the thought of Heaven arouses within me the
desire to practice more virtues in my daily life. It gives me a firm
determination to despise whatever hinders my spiritual perfection. You made me
for eternal glory, and in this earthly life you have granted me the opportunity
to prove my sincere desire for that glory. Even though I seek peace and
happiness in everything that I do on earth, I shall never know the perfect
happiness which my heart seeks until I have entered into Heaven. Help me see
this earthly life through Your eyes. Let me never lose an opportunity to resist
evil and do good in this earthly life. May my love of good works grow. I wish to
do more and more for love of You. If You love me enough to grant me the perfect
reward of heaven, should I not love You enough to give myself to You for the
rest of my life on earthI hope to imitate Your boundless generosity in my own
limited, human way from now on. Amen.

John of God - Litany for the Graces of St. Paul

LITANY OF THE GRACES OF ST. PAUL

[R] For me to live is Christ.

Glorious St. Paul,
You concurred in the stoning of Stephen - help me to recognize how God uses even
my sin to draw me closer to Him and to perfect me in His love, [R]

After encountering Jesus on the road to Damascus, you were blind for three days
- help me to realize that in the dark moments of my life God is preparing me for
greater things, [R]

The Lord revealed to Ananias how much you would have to suffer for the name of
Jesus as His instrument - help me to accept the suffering present in my life as
a way of serving God and living for Christ, [R]

When your enemies conspired to kill you, fellow Christians helped you to escape
from the city by lowering you down the wall in a basket - help me to confide
myself to the unfailing care of Jesus Christ especially as I find it in the
companions you give me, [R]

While you were fasting and praying, the Holy Spirit revealed a mission God had
in store for you - help me to be docile and attentive to all the ways that the
Holy Spirit wants to speak to me and use me, [R]

The Lord made you a light to the nations and a means of salvation to the ends of
the earth - help me to be obedient to God's will and committed to
evangelization, [R]

When you were stoned by the people in Lystra, your disciples prayed in a circle
around you until you arose and walked back into the town - help me to pray
unceasingly and to have the courage to face the persecution that is part of
being a Christian, [R]

When the people at Miletus wept because they heard that they would never see
your face again, you commended them to the gracious Word of God - help me to
embrace the presence of God when life's problems leave me feeling helpless or
alone, [R]

When the ship that bore you to your trial in Rome was on the verge of shipwreck
and the sailors were despairing, you assured them that they would not lose even
a hair of their heads - help me to meet the devastating circumstances of my life
with a hope that is steadfast, certain, and firm, [R]

When you were shipwrecked in Malta, you were bitten by a poisonous snake, yet
you suffered no harm - help me to be free from fear even before those things
that terrify me the most, [R]

During your two-year imprisonment in Rome, you preached the reign of God and
taught about the Lord Jesus Christ - help me to realize that every situation of
my life is an opportunity to witness my faith, to love Jesus Christ, and to
glorify God, [R]

When you begged the Lord to remove the thorn in your flesh, you accepted that
Christ's grace was enough for you - help me always to rely on the grace of
Christ and not on my own resources, especially when my trials seem oppressive,
[R]

You asked the Romans in the letter you wrote them if they realized that God's
kindness was an invitation to them to repent - help me to acknowledge God's love
and kindness in my life through my fervent and renewed repentance, [R]

You have assured us that we have received a spirit of adoption that moves us to
cry out "Abba! Father!" - help me to live according to the Spirit as a true
child of God in unwavering confidence, fidelity, love, and trust, [R]

Our Father...

Closing Prayer

Loving Father, from time immemorial You designated the apostle Paul to know Your
will, to look upon the Just One, and to hear the sound of His voice. Paul's
love for Your Son was beyond all telling. For Christ emptied Himself and took
the form of a slave, obediently accepting even death on a cross. Paul followed
Jesus in this path of humility and total self-giving. Help me to imitate Paul
as Paul imitated Christ. May my life, in all that I think, say, and do,
proclaim to Your eternal glory that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Composed by Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P.
