Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.


O Lord, support us all the day long of this troublous life until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then, in Your mercy, grant us a safe lodging and a holy rest, and peace at the last. Amen.


A Prayer for Children


God, Our Father, we pray that through Your intercession of St. Nicholas You will protect our children. Keep them safe from harm and help them grow and become worthy in Your sight. Give them strength to keep their Faith in You; and to keep alive their joy in Your creation. Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen. SPIRITUAL ARMOR PRAYER


Heavenly Father, we ask You today for Your truth as a belt tight around our loins. We put on the zeal to announce your good news of peace as shoes for our feet. We put on Your righteousness, O Christ, as our breastplate, And the hope of salvation as a helmet for our head.


Father, we take up faith as a shield which is able to put out all the fiery darts of the enemy, And the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word, O Lord. Father, may the love with which you have loved Jesus be in us, and may Jesus be in us. We ask You for the grace of a servant heart. Amen.


Prayer to Vanquish Satan and his Agents


All you great number of enemies of the Holy Death of my Master Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary, the prince of darkness and iniquity, the father of all liars, I stand on the death of my Master Jesus Christ and offer His pains, Wounds, and the Precious Blood from His left Hand to the Eternal Father for your downfall, your destruction and your scourging. Amen. Precious Blood of my Master Jesus Christ - reign in me and in the lives of all men. Amen.


~~ from Devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ: The Greatest Devotion of Our Time


Prayer for the Protection and Unity of the Flock


Eternal Father, I offer You all the Wounds, pains, and the Precious Blood from the Sacred Feet of Your Son, Our Lord and Master, for all Your children who are wandering like sheep without a shepherd in this terrifying forest.


Protect them against wild predators and give them peace that they might be one, and united in the same way as the nail held fast the Feet of my Master and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.


Precious Blood of Jesus Christ - reign forever. Amen. ~~ from Devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ: The Greatest Devotion of Our Time


Prayer for Refuge in the Sacred Side of Jesus Christ


O Loving Father, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Who protected the Israelites of old in His Holy Wings in the dryness of the cold and hot desert;


I offer You the Holy death of my Master and Savior, Jesus Christ, for the protection of Your people who are scattered all over the world. May the Blood and Water wash and strengthen, save and cleanse us that we might find home in the Sacred Side of Your Son which opens for all men. Amen.


Sacred Side of Jesus Christ - be our home for safety. Amen. ~~ from Devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ: The Greatest Devotion of Our Time Prayer for Sustenance of the Faith


Omnipotent and Omniscient God, God of Elijah and the prophets, look at the Sacred Head of Your only-begotten Son and have mercy. Arise and save Your people.

Holy tortures of Jesus Christ - increase our faith. Amen. ~~ from Devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ: The Greatest Devotion of Our Time


Prayer For Guidance And Protection To Those I Love O heavenly Father, our Protector and Guide, You are the greatest Friend and Joy we have! To be able to come to You in prayer like this is the most beautiful part of our lives!


It is not for myself that I want to pray today, dear Father, but for those who are near and dear to me and about whom I am worrying. You know what they are facing, dear Father. And You know most of all the deepest reasons why these things have come upon them!


And You know how I want to help. Truly I think it would be easier if I could only face what they are facing. But You know how helpless we are to help another even though we know what is just and right.


Only You are left, dear Father. Do be with them in all things at all times. Protect them from enemies and evil, my Father. Forgive them their sins and put love of others in their hearts.


Do make them happy in their lives at home, dear Father, and help them live as You would have them live. Above all, put love in their hearts for You. And thank You, my Father, for Your goodness to them and to me. Thank You for Your love and guidance and protection! May we honor you all the days of our lives. And be happy and uplifted even as I feel right now! Amen.


Prayer for Protection ~~ from the Church's night prayer Visit this house, we beg you, Lord, and banish from it the deadly power of the evil one. May your holy angels dwell here to keep us in peace, and may your blessing be always upon us. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.


Prayer for Endurance through the Coming Chastisement


Merciful and Loving Father, Your wish is that all men should be saved. Kindly look on Your rejected and condemned Son Who suffered many tortures and will suffer many tortures through the sins of Your people. Look and see what sin has done to Your only-begotten Son.


I offer all people who are living in these ungodly and wicked days, all the tortures, pains, rejections, and shame of Your son Jesus Christ to You, for faith to withstand trials and patience to withstand long tortures. May they, through the sufferings of Your only Son, fight to the end. Amen.


Our Lord's torture - increase our faith. Precious Blood of Jesus - save us. Amen.


~~ from Devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ: The Greatest Devotion of Our Time


Prayer for the Reign of Glory on Earth


O Loving and Merciful Father, all knowing and all powerful, the Alpha and the Omega, the Eternal Father Who created all things, that You should forsake Your children, Your nature forbids. Look kindly on Your begotten Son Jesus Christ Who came to save men and bring Your Kingdom down on earth.


We offer You all the agonies, tortures, pains, and the Precious Blood of Your Son Jesus Christ for the defeat of all the enemies of the Holy Cross of Salvation, the Antichrist and the Red Dragon who are fighting against the truth now and in the end of the age. May they, through the Precious Blood of our Redeemer and His last breath on earth, disappear like foam exposed under the sun, so that Your Kingdom may quickly come on earth. Amen.


Precious Blood of Jesus Christ - Thy Kingdom come. Amen. ~~ from Devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ: The Greatest Devotion of Our Time

Fr Doucette - "Pray for those who resent you" - Sun, Aug 31, 2008


FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE


"Pray for those who resent you"


Sunday, August 31, 2008


Dear Friends,


You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.


For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5: 43 48


I will soon begin to prepare for the Healing Mass on Friday, September 5, at 7:30 p.m. On September 17, I will go to Pont Landry in New Brunswick for a Healing Mass there at 7:00 p.m. I will bring my beautiful candles made by Amanda Richard to sell before and after Mass.


Our Lord gave another message to Joseph. These are the words of Jesus addressed to Joseph, You are My friends if you follow all My teachings. You know that I put into practice all that I taught. I taught the people of Israel when I was living with them about love.


None of My followers are to hate anyone not even their enemies. You are to love every one even your persecutors. I gave you the example when I was hanging on the cross. Before My death on the cross, I forgave all those who hit Me, forced Me to carry the cross, who nailed Me to the cross and who insulted Me.


I prayed in this way, Father, forgive them, they know not what they do. If you have any hatred against anyone, look at the cross and know that I forgive all those who killed Me.


My dear brothers and sisters, I know how difficult it is to forgive those who have hurt you or insulted you, but take My words to heart and begin to forgive them. I cannot live in a heart filled with hatred and know that such hatred brings darkness and unrest in your heart.


It is only by forgiving as I did that peace can come back to you. It might take you many days of forgiving your brother or sister before the peace and light return to you but they will, if you forgive with all your heart.


I call you to pray for those who resent you or insult you. Your prayers will be a great help to bring them to Me and to make them feel ashamed for what they did. In time they will come to reestablish their friendship with you. Then your enemy will become your friend. Father Melvin

Time For Repentance Grows Short


Today I attended the 8:00 AM Mass as part of the 5 First Saturdays to Our Lady. I said a rosary and remembered all those with special needs and intentions. After making small offerings to Jesus and Mary, His Mother, I offered an Act of Contrition in preparation of receiving the most sacred Host in the sacrament of Holy Communion.


With the precious body and blood of Christ on my tongue, I knelt in silent commune with Jesus asking Him to please turn off all words to my heart, or visions, other than those from Him to me.


I began to see people dressed in clothing from the Arab nations. In the small towns there were only a few people to be seen.


Then Jesus spoke saying Behold what you see are towns that are emptying of their men as they leave to become Soldiers against the United States. And all who do not know My Commandments or know Me will be murdered and left by the roadsides to become fertilizer for the earth.


More than ever before, the time to repent and come to Me grows very short. Come to Me and I will give you rest. I will be your good Shepard and guide you to safety! Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters.


Message to littlest of servants August 29, 2008


JESUS wants HIS remnant to read the following:


*2nd Thessalonians 2:14


*Apocalypse 11:19 and 13:4.


*THESSALONIANSS (when reading the Bible,it is good to read the verse above, and below, to get context):


11 Therefore, God is sending them a deceiving power so that they may believe the lie,


12 that all who have not believed the truth but have approved wrongdoing may be condemned.


13 But we ought to give thanks to God for you always, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits 7 for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in truth.


14 To this end he has (also) called you through our gospel to possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.


15 Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours. 8


16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement and good hope through his grace,


17 encourage your hearts and strengthen them in every good deed and word.


*The footnote 8 indicates that it is a reference “to an oral statement and a letter (2 Thes 2:2) and the content here, including a formula of conclusion (cf 1 Cor 16:13; Gal 5:1), suggest that 2 Thes 2:1-15 or even 2 Thes 2:1-17 are to be taken as a literary unit, notwithstanding the incidental thanksgiving formula in 2 Thes 2:13.”


See: http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/2thessalonians/2thessalonians2.htm#foot8


*Fair use 17 U.S.C. for those in the African Diasporawho ordinarily wouldnot e exposed to such.


And


Apocalypse (Revelations) 11:19 and 13:4.


17 and said: "We give thanks to you, Lord God almighty, who are and who were. For you have assumed your great power and have established your reign.


18 The nations raged, but your wrath has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and to recompense your servants, the prophets, and the holy ones and those who fear your name, the small and the great alike, and to destroy those who destroy the earth."


19 Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a violent hailstorm.


*And 13:4


3 I saw that one of its heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but this mortal wound was healed. 3 Fascinated, the whole world followed after the beast.


4 They worshiped the dragon because it gave its authority to the beast; they also worshiped the beast 4 and said, "Who can compare with the beast or who can fight against it?"


5 5 6 The beast was given a mouth uttering proud boasts and blasphemies, and it was given authority to act for forty-two months.


6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling and those who dwell in heaven.


It was also allowed to wage war against the holy ones and conquer them, and it was granted authority over every tribe, people, tongue, and nation.


8 All the inhabitants of the earth will worship it, all whose names were not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life, which belongs to the Lamb who was slain.

Messages to The Two Patricks August 1-25,2008


Friday 1 August 2008


Jesus:


Yes, My son, begin this fight but do it in Truth for discipline will bring My House back into what I wish it to be.


Discipline trains the body and soul to follow Me in Truth. Without discipline you cannot fight against self. You must learn to discipline the body for this is the desire of the soul and this is true dying to self. It takes discipline to fast, to pray and to deny self these are all parts of discipline and without it you will never truly find Me, you will simply find the desires of self.


Can you understand these things that I have been drawing you towards? Can you see now what I have been asking of you? You must continue this fight in order to do what I ask of you. I Love you.


Patrick:


Thank You, Jesus, I love You.

For those who worked in Slovenia on this date


Do not worry, My son, it is I who guide you here. All is well. Continue as I inspire you and you will do well. These windows need replaced and soon for there is no more life in them, they have served their purpose. Do only the worst ones for now.


You may call My two sons over to replace this pipe but they must be obedient to My Will in this and how they live here. Thank you, My children, for being here to do My Will. Open your hearts to Me and be obedient to My Will. I Bless the little ones with My Cross on their foreheads and I Bless the Work.


The Way of Truth


Monday 25 August 2008


Introduction:


I have found over these past few years it is getting harder and harder to follow Jesus in truth. I find myself slipping into the world and its ways, although I do not want to, it seems to be happening, it is as if I am on a slippery slope and no matter how hard I try to climb the slope I am sliding backwards. I have felt Jesus calling me to write so that He can help me and you to find a path back to Him.


I know it is the times that we now live in: that is the slippery slope. That brings to mind a piece of Scripture;


If the time had not been shortened not even the elect would have survived (And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened. Matthew 24:22)


I know if things continue the way that they are, very few of us will survive this time for it would be so easy to get swept away in the current of this world.


Even within our churches and at Mass there is no refuge for so many priests preach a gospel of self, we can say that it does not effect us but, yes, it does. It is like dripping water on stone, eventually it will make a hole and cut through it.


These false doctrines are the things that self wants to hear and gradually, through time, we will fall to them, if we are not strong enough. In these Words that Jesus will speak to us, I know He means to try and give us a foothold on the slope so that we will be able to fight through the ?grease? of this world and into the safety of His outstretched Arms.


We know that we must fight our way towards Jesus, He can only help us to a certain degree. We must prove to Him, in our free will, that we truly want Him and His Ways. We can say that it is unfair that we must do this but, in His Love, He has given us free will and does not want to force us to follow Him; He wants us to make that decision totally in our own free will. So, we must fight against sin and the desires of self that lead us away from Jesus and eventually into the flames of hell.


Hell is the place that the world denies the existence of for when we remove hell from the equation then we remove lucifer and so we can do whatever we please because God is an all-Merciful God and the only place is Heaven.


I have heard even priests saying that they do not believe in hell! How foolish can humans really become? Our Lady in Fatima showed the children a vision of hell and said that the amount of people that were going there every day was like a shower of snowflakes.


So many of us are being lost by our own complacency and laziness of not wanting to fight for the Truth for we know it is the truth, even though we try to deny it within ourselves. I know that in my younger years, I denied the truth of God. I laughed at my mother and her holy friends when they tried to tell me about God.


Looking back now, I knew what they were saying was true but, in truth, I did not want to know because it did not suit the life that I was living and made me feel guilty and so I became angry and abusive. When we look around that is what this world is now, angry and abusive. Everyone has become so angry and abusive with each other.


For example, on the roads, in the shops, in sport, everywhere! I have even seen arguments start as people come out of the car park after Mass. What a world we are now living in! Yet, we live in it and try to ignore the truth that is within all of our hearts. We prefer to live these lives of denial with no peace in order to hold on to our selfishness and untruth.


I pray and hope that these Words that Jesus will speak to us will cut through our selfishness and open our hearts to the Dream of Jesus for it is my greatest desire to see His Dream fulfilled. I know many of you are like me and are finding it so difficult in these times we live in. Let's take these Words that our Master will speak and show this world that He is Alive and that He is Coming soon.


Chapter 1


The Complacency of Self


Patrick:


Jesus, will You help me in this? I wish to come back to You; I wish to regain my strength in order to follow You in the truth. I am willing to give up all work and stay with You to simply listen. I feel as though I have lost so much; the world is encroaching at an ever increasing rate and it is so hard to concentrate on You. But I know if I get close to You I will be able to see clearly once again.


Jesus:


My son, it is My desire that you come to Me like this. So many times I have told you that I am your strength and without Me nothing will come to fruition. Stay with Me in this time, My son, and I will strengthen you in this battle that you fight for Me for, it is true, you are weak and at the risk of falling;


stay with Me until I tell you that you are able to return to this world for you have lost much and much must be regained. I Love you, My little son, I Love you and this is My desire for you. I Love you.


My son, you must always look to the Truth, always look through that that self desires and then you will begin to see My Truth. Self is your enemy and will always try to distort the Truth. The desires of self are always influenced by the trickery of lucifer.


This is why I have said, in order to follow Me in truth one needs to die to self. So many try to follow in My Footsteps without dying to self and are led off on many different paths that are not of Me. This is what is happening now in the times that you live in, so many of My children are following a path that does not lead to Me but leads to their eventual destruction.


This is why you hear so many distorting My Truth into truth that is only lies and darkness, so many are being deceived by the lies and desires of self. In these Words that I speak I will show My children how it is so easy to become deceived by the desires of self for this is what lucifer works upon.


My Path is a straight one; it has been laid down by Me so that mankind can follow in My Truth. If you are not willing to follow in My Footsteps then you are not willing to follow the Truth. Truth simply looks to the good of others, even should that mean the downfall of one’s self. Look where My Path led, it led Me to Calvary where I gave All of Myself so that all mankind could have Eternal Life with Me in My Father's Kingdom.


If you are not willing to give up your life then you are not willing to follow Me in Truth. When you step upon this Path, nothing matters except the desire to bring souls to your God for when you begin to see clearly then you begin to realise that this life that you lead upon this earth matters little for true life begins when you enter My Kingdom. I have shown you this in many different ways through My Apostles and My Saints.


Do not look to self and what self can gain but look to your God and desire Eternal Life with Him and miracles will become an everyday part of your life. No one upon this earth uses My Power now to the full for they have allowed self to influence them so much that they can no longer see the true Path that leads to the Kingdom of their God. In these Words I mean to explain the ways of dying to self and the ways of seeing My Truth, how to overcome the desires of self, to see through the blindness that self can instil in each of My children. I will show you how to break free and begin to see the Truth of your God.


I will explain and show you the joys that await you in My Father's Kingdom, you shall feel these and know them within your heart as you read these Words. My Way is Love, children, and I will show you My Love as I have shown you so many times in the past. My only desire is that you be with Me in My Father's Kingdom where We shall be Love and One in all things.


So little time is left before the Great Tribulation where all mankind shall know and see the Power of their God, that that has been forgotten shall be seen and mankind will beat their breasts for their blindness.


In these Words, I will prepare you for this time so that it will be a time of great joy and celebration for you and you shall rejoice as you see the Hand of your God touch this earth. The Justice of your God is Holy and so not to be feared by those who live in the Truth. For those that live in My Truth shall never know the Justice of their God for, instead of Justice, they shall feel the Love and Compassion of their God.


I will never desert you, My children, I will never forget you, I have told you that I would never leave you orphans for I will bring this earth back to the former beauty that I created. Know this, My little children, the Love of your God surrounds you, life on this earth cannot exist without My Spirit.


I am your Lifeblood, I am what runs through your veins. When you love your neighbour, you love Me, your God, for I am within all creation. When you look at the rich man I am there, when you look at the poor man I am there, when you look at the wounded man I am there, when you look at the evildoers I am there, I am within all of creation. Remember these Words:


40 "He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.


41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.


42 And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward." Matthew 10:40-42


I must Suffer the sorrows of all creation for I cannot turn My Back upon anyone, I must Suffer the pain of all sin for I am there as each sin is committed and must endure all that mankind throws at Me. My Path is straight, children, and it awaits your footsteps upon it for the joys that await you can never be explained in human words. Come with Me upon this journey and let Me show you the Truth of your God. I Love you.


Patrick:


Jesus, I know how very strong self can be, I understand fully what You meant when You said


41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into all temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Matthew 26:41


So many times in the past I have thought to myself, I will fight all temptation and I will overcome the sins that I have on my Confession?s list but, each time that I returned to Confession, they were there again and each time I would say the same thing and go out with an earnest heart, fully prepared to beat them but before I would know it I would have committed the same sin and be wondering how I let myself fall into its clutches again.


I can only speak for myself for I am a weak sinner so much wanting to overcome that that offends You, my God, never truly winning the battle. Please, Jesus, show me and Your children why we are so weak when it comes to overcoming the temptations of self and lucifer.


Jesus:


It is simple, My son, you must always be on your guard avoiding all occasions of sin. Both you and My children many times allow yourselves to be drawn in to occasions of sin but all the time thinking that you are strong enough to overcome these and so you fall.


The first thing that you must do is, look at the greater of your sins and see when the sins are committed. Look for your greatest times of weakness and avoid these, do not allow self to tell you otherwise for self is your enemy and will always try to convince you that you are strong enough to enter these situations. I have told you of the first thought, all sin begins as a seed in your thoughts and it is up to you whether you fertilise and irrigate the seed.


Guard your thoughts and do not allow them to control you for thoughts many times contain the inspirations of lucifer. If a thought enters your mind which you know will lead to sin then discard that thought immediately, not allowing it a foothold.


The more that you do this the stronger you will become and the more your eyes will open as the scales of blindness fall away. I am your Strength and the more that you come to Me in prayer, the easier this battle will become for the desires of self will cease to matter, as you build the walls of holiness.


Patrick:


I know what You are saying, Jesus, but it seems to be becoming more difficult. I can remember a few years ago I found it much simpler to overcome the desires of self but now I find it very difficult, it just seems to sneak in and it seems to me I can be sitting in the middle of impure thoughts, anger, complacency, judgements, the list is endless, without noticing. No matter how hard I try to fight, it seems to sneak in and catch me out, a simple innocent conversation can end up in judgement of others even though I have been watching. Jesus:


My son, it is true that this happens many times to all My children, remember the desires of self are strong especially now in these times that you live in. Self always enjoys gossip, criticism and immoral thoughts, this is why I say you must always be on your guard not just when you decide to try and be holy.


The more that you fight against self, the less control self will have for it is true to say that most of all My children fight for part of the day and allow self to control the other part, which drains the strength that you have already gained so it is not a progression of dying to self but it is stagnant, never moving.


When you decide to fight it must be a total commitment to overcome that that is not of Me and in this commitment you will gain control over self and self will fade into the background.


Patrick:


Yes, Jesus, I have to say I can really recognise this and it explains a lot to me. I am trying to be with You all day doing Your Work but when the evening comes I go home and watch TV and get lost in things that are definitely not of You, for instance, watching documentaries of say, someone who has been murdered, raped, deceived or robbed which brings up feelings of anger and retribution in my heart and the desire for retribution, hoping that they get caught or worse. I find myself sitting thinking not very Christian thoughts.


The television fills our thoughts with sex or sexual innuendos for even the advertisements are filled with naked or half naked people and there is always a sexual innuendo.


I could sit for hours watching programmes and never think of You, or get involved in conversations with friends, family or neighbours that are simply gossip or judgement of things that I have watched on the News or in some other programme.


The next day I wonder why I'm plagued with thoughts that are not of You and are not easy to fight. I think I can begin to see, I gain Your Strength in one hand and give it away with the other and then wonder why I am not becoming stronger.


How blind we are, Jesus, on this earth, these things you have already told us in Your Scriptures but we never seem to comprehend.


People look at me and Patrick and other Messengers and think it must be so easy for us because we receive Messages but, I can tell you, I am a total disaster.


Your children look at me and think I am so holy and I look at them and think that I wish I could have their faith and holiness. I suppose it is the old saying, the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence.


I know I am talking to You like this and wondering will I change because of what You are telling me or will I go home and do the same things all over again. I know You have explained so many things to me in the past and I have understood and done what You have told me for a short while and then drifted back into my old ways, which goes back to ?The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."


Discipline


Chapter: 2


Jesus:


It is simple, My son, you must discipline the body in order to overcome all things that are not of Me. Without discipline you will fail for the calls of the world will draw you back into it. I have told you this with My Scriptures when I said,


24 Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.


25 He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.


26 If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honour. John 12:24-26


You must look at each thing within your life that is not of Me and start with the greater; disciplining the body and the mind, removing the desires for such things.


Each thing that you do for Me you must fight against the temptations of the evil one for he will try to draw you away from your goal. Remember, contrary to what this world believes you are in a spiritual battle. When you follow Me the evil one and his minions are waiting their opportunity to pull you down and away from Me.


So many have set out upon this Path and fallen because of lack of discipline. Each day you should decide in prayer what you will do, fulfil this no matter what comes against you, do not allow anyone to draw you away from My Path. I am the Lord, your God, and your desires should be for Me, not for this world and what it can offer you.


So many are afraid of offending the people of this world by their actions, so in order not to offend people, they offend their God, which breaks the first Commandment, First, I am the Lord, your God, you shall have no strange gods before Me. Look at My priests, they fear to offend My people so they change My Scriptures in order that no one be offended. I am forgotten!


Patrick:


Jesus, I know it must be so hard for You when You see so many of us on this earth deserting You and ceasing to believe in Your Ways. It must be particularly hard when You see Your priests turning away from Your Laws and teaching things that are not of You.


It is not hard to see that all discipline has broken down within Your Church. The Holy Father (John Paul II) or a bishop would say something good and holy and the rest of the church would disagree because it would not suit our selfish lifestyle.


Even in society all discipline has broken down, people are afraid to walk the streets at night because of the evil. When discipline was removed from the schools and then from the homes, all seemed to fall apart, everyone has become afraid and You are something to be laughed at and derided as being old-fashioned.


Jesus:


My Mother and I have told you of these things that would come to pass. The great falling away has begun and mankind is falling headlong into a disaster created by his own free will. Look around you, it is true that all discipline has been forgotten, mankind has become a barbaric race only thinking of himself and not the good of others.


Even those that have tried to stay with Me have become a selfish people not looking to the good of their neighbour, not loving their neighbour but rather loving themselves. It is time to wake up, My people, and see the Truth that I speak with these Words. There is little time left and so much Work to be done, the harvest is great but the labourers are few. I am asking all of you to help Me in this Work of Mine.


I prepare you for what is to come, I prepare too, My Houses of Prayer so that there will be little beacons of Light within each country to fulfil My Work for many will come looking for Me in the Times of Tribulation and you, My children, must be prepared to help them. So little time and so much to do, you have wasted so much of your time in futile things. I Love you.


DAILY OFFERING PRAYER - O Jesus, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, and the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Padre Pio's Prayer After Holy Communion


Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life and without You I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light and without You I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much and always be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, as poor as my soul is I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of Love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close and life passes, death, judgment and eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!
Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dangers, I need You. Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.
Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by Communion, at least by grace and love.
Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more. With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen.

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE


"Come home"


Saturday, August 30, 2008


Dear Friends,


"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid's lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him.


He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted the lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped Israel his servant, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever." Luke 1: 46 - 55


Here is a message of Our Blessed Mother addressed to Joseph. Our Lady spoke to him in these words, "It was My great joy to be chosen the Mother of Jesus, the Savior of the world. Indeed the Mighty One has done great things for Me and I am forever grateful.


When the angel came to announce to Me that I would be the Mother of the Savior, I gave My complete 'yes' as the handmaid of the Lord. I knew that great things were to happen in the world. God was intervening in the world to bring the people out of darkness into His marvelous light and to open heaven for all those who will follow the Savior.


Many people in the world have come to believe in their Lord and Savior and more and more people are entering the Church founded by Him. They love Jesus, their Lord and My Son, and they want to follow Him every day. However, there are still many who do not believe or who have rejected Him.


I come to call all the people of the world to believe in Jesus, the Son of God, before it is too late. I will not stop My work until all My children have reached heaven. You are My dear children if you believe in Jesus with all your heart.


I ask you all to consecrate yourselves to Me and I will bring you all to Jesus. Prayer is very important for you believers so never forget to pray every day.


If I were living on earth today, I would be an active member of the Catholic Church, the Church founded by the Lord Jesus and My precious Son. My Church teaches the whole truth and She receives an abundance of all the graces, which I shower upon all Her members. Come home to your Savior and Mother in the Catholic Church."

Fr Doucette - "I want you close to Me" - Fri, Aug 29, 2008


FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE


"I want you close to Me"


Friday, August 29, 2008


Dear Friends,


Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all those engaged in selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. And he said to them, It is written: My house shall be a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of thieves. Matthew 21: 12 13


Here is a message Our Lord and Saviour gave to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him saying, The temple in Jerusalem was the most holy building in all of Israel. The Holy of Holies was part of the temple and no one could enter this sacred place except those designated.


But in My time, the people would bring all kinds of things to sell including animals within the temple. This was a desecration of the Holy Place. I simply took a rope and drove all these people with their money and things out of the temple. This building was a house of prayer and they had made it a den of thieves.


Every Catholic Church where I live in the tabernacle is a holy place. I am truly present in the Eucharist and I want every church to be used for prayer and there should be silence so everybody can be in an atmosphere of prayer. However, today there is too much noise in the churches.


People carry on a conversation in the church and this talking distracts those who wish to pray. If they wish to talk, they should go outside. People should be dressed appropriately in church and this is a sign of their respect for Me. It is a fact that I called every Christian to church especially to pray and to take part in the solemn ceremony of the Eucharist. All are to gather together to offer the Father adoration and worship. He is your God who gives you all you need every day.


If I were on earth these days, I would take a rope and chase away many people because of their lack of respect. I would teach them how to genuflect properly in greeting Me as they enter the church.


I would ask them to stop talking aloud in church and to kneel in prayer. The proper position before God is kneeling and not standing. Follow these rules and you will bring joy to My heart. I want you close to Me.

Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 29 - PRAY FOR THE YOUNG


"In the mystery of the Redemption, that is to say in Jesus Christ's saving work, the Church not only shares in the Gospel of her Master through fidelity to the word and service of truth, but she also shares, through a submission filled with hope and love, in the power of His redeeming action expressed and enshrined by Him in a sacramental form, especially in the Eucharist. (154)


The Eucharist is the center and summit of the whole of sacramental life, through which each Christian receives the saving power of the Redemption, beginning with the mystery of Baptism, in which we are buried into the death of Christ, in order to become sharers in His resurrection, (155) as the Apostle teaches." (This begins a series of excerpts from Our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II's encyclical Redemptor Hominis, The Redeemer of Man)


Mother Teresa - I want you to fill your heart with great love. Don't imagine that love, to be true and burning, must be extraordinary.


Meditations by Padre Pio - The gates of heaven are open for all creatures. Remember Mary Magdalene!


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - There's no happiness in the realm of the ego


"The modern tendency is toward the affirmation of the ego, the exaltation of selfishness, riding roughshod over others in order to satisfy our own self-centeredness. It certainly has not produced much happiness, for the more the ego asserts itself the more miserable it becomes."


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


I receive Holy Communion in the manner of the Angels, so to speak. My soul is filled with God's light and nourishes itself from Him. My feelings are as if dead. This is a purely spiritual union with God; it is a great predominance of spirit over nature. (1278)


The Lord gave me knowledge of the graces which He has been constantly lavishing on me. This light pierced me through and through, and I came to understand the inconceivable favors that God has been bestowing on me. I stayed in my cell for a long act of thanksgiving, lying face down on the ground and shedding tears of gratitude.


I could not rise from the ground because, whenever I tried to do so, God's light gave me new knowledge of His grace. It was only at the third attempt that I was able to get up. As His child, I felt that everything the heavenly Father possessed was equally mine. He himself lifted me from the ground up to His Heart. I felt that everything that existed was exclusively mine, but I had no desire for it all, because God alone is enough for me. (1279)


Today, I have come to understand many of God's mysteries. I have come to know that Holy Communion remains in me until the next Holy Communion. A vivid and clearly felt presence of God continues in my soul.


The awareness of this plunges me into deep recollection, without the slightest effort on my part. My heart is a living tabernacle in which the living Host is reserved. I have never sought God in some far-off place, but within myself. It is in the depths of my own being that I commune with my God. (1302)


Aug 29 - http://www.catholic -forum.com/ e-pistle. html


Quote of the Day - Herodias harbored a grudge against him and wanted to kill him but was unable to do so. Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man, and kept him in custody. When he heard him speak he was very much perplexed, yet he liked to listen to him. She had an opportunity one day when Herod, on his birthday, gave a banquet for his courtiers, his military officers and the leading men of Galilee.


Herodias's own daughter came in and performed a dance that delighted Herod and his guests. The king said to the girl, "Ask of me whatever you wish and I will grant it to you." She went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" She replied, "The head of John the Baptist." The Girl hurried back to the king's presence and made her request, "I want you to give me at once on a platter the head of John the Baptist." The king was deeply distressed, but because of his oaths and the guests he did not wish to break his word to her.


So he promptly dispatched an executioner with orders to bring back his head. He went off and beheaded him in the prison. He brought in the head on a platter and gave it to the girl. The girl in turn gave it to her mother. When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb. -Mk 6:19-29


Today's Tidbit - At the beginning of the school year, it is customary in many places to celebrate a Mass of the Holy Spirit to invoke the Lord's blessing on the coming academic year. It is also customary for a similar Mass to be celebrated for the reopening of legislative bodies and courts of law.


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


AUGUST 29 - PRAY FOR THE YOUNG


Our Lady speaks of young people today:


My dear children, your prayers have helped me to fulfill my plans. Praised be Jesus, my dear children! Dear children, tonight I especially ask you to pray for the young. I would like to recommend to my priests that they organize groups where young people can be taught and given good advice for their lives.


To all of you who are here tonight, I ask that you be the messengers of peace to others, especially to young people. You Mother is praying for you tonight (Visionary Prayer Group August 22, 1988).


Paul's words to the people of Thessalonica can be applied to young people:


As you know, we dealt with each one of you like a father with his children, urging and encouraging you and pleading that you lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory ( 1 Thes 2:11-12).


Reflection:


Some time ago a quick thinking ten-year who boy saved the life of a nine-year-old girl who had fallen through the ice on a river near Toledo, Ohio. Spotting Janet Rospert struggling in the cold waters of the ice-crusted river, young Richard Dicken wasted no time in putting his axe to the best use he ever made of it.


He quickly climbed a nearly tree and chopped off a sturdy branch. Then, hurrying to the shore, he reached out with the branch to Janet, who was precariously hanging onto a thin piece of ice. In a matter of moments he had pulled her to safety.


In these days much is said and written abut the short comings of young people. But there are countless instances like this that reflect the unselfishness and courage that god has instilled in his youth. For our part, the Blessed Mother asks us to be"the messengers of peace to others, to young people especially."


Application:


Today simply put into practice the Gospa's message: "Pray especially for the young."


Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 31 - WHAT TO SAY IN PRAYER


"At the time of Holy Communion I sometimes picture my soul under the figure of a little child of three or four years, who at play has got its hair tossed and its clothes soiled. These misfortunes have befallen me in battling with souls. But very soon the Blessed Virgin hastens to my aid: quickly, she takes off my dirty little pinafore, smoothes my hair and adorns it with a pretty ribbon or simply with a little flower... and this suffices to render me pleasing and enables me to sit at the Banquet of Angels without blushing." (St. Therese)


Mother Teresa - Love is a fruit, in season at all times and within the reach of every hand. Anyone may gather it and no limit is set.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Always stay close to the Catholic Church, because it alone can give you true peace, because it alone possesses Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, who is the true Prince of Peace.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen -


There is only one standard which we can judge


"Proud people think themselves to be better than they are, and when criticized always believe their neighbor is jealous or has a grudge against them. The humble know themselves as they really are, for they judge themselves as they judge time, by a standard outside themselves, namely, God and His Moral Law."


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


When I had gone to the chapel for a moment, the Lord gave me to know that, among His chosen ones, there are some who are especially chosen, and whom He calls to a higher form of holiness, to exceptional union with Him. These are seraphic souls, from whom God demands greater love than He does from others.


Although all live in the same convent, yet He sometimes demands of a particular soul a greater degree of love. Such a soul understands this call, because God makes this known to it interiorly, but the soul may either follow this call or not. It depends on the soul itself whether it is faithful to these touches of the Holy Spirit, or whether it resists them. I have learned that there is a place in purgatory where souls will pay their debt to God for such transgressions; this kind of torment is the most difficult of all.


The soul which is specially marked by God will be distinguished everywhere, whether in heaven or in purgatory or in hell. In heaven, it will be distinguished from other souls by greater glory and radiance and deeper knowledge of God.


In purgatory, by greater pain, because it knows God more profoundly and desires Him more vehemently. In hell, it will suffer more profoundly than other souls, because it knows more fully Whom it has lost. This indelible mark of God's exclusive love, in the [soul], will not be obliterated. (1556)


At that moment, the light of God penetrated my being, and I felt that I was God's exclusive property; and I experienced the greatest spiritual freedom, of which I had had no previous idea.


And at the same time, I saw the glory of the Divine Mercy and an infinite multitude of souls who were praising His goodness. My soul was completely drowned in God, and I heard the words, You are My well-beloved daughter. The vivid presence of God continued throughout the whole day. (1681)

Quote of the Day - We should consider those moments spent before the Blessed Sacrament as the happiest of our lives. -St. John Vianney


Today's Tidbit - Amen is a Hebrew word meaning truly, it is true. In the Gospels, Christ used the word to ad a not of authority to his statements. In other New Testament writings, as in Hebrew usage, it was the concluding word to doxologies. As the concluding word of prayers, it expresses assent to and acceptance of God's will.

AUGUST 31 - WHAT TO SAY IN PRAYER


To Jelena, concerning prayer, Our Lady said:


I know that I speak to you very often about prayer, but know that there are many people in the world who do not pray, who do not even know what to say in prayer (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana January 15, 1984.).


And in Psalm 81, the Lord himself speaks in answer to a prayer:


I relieved your shoulder of the burden;


Your hands were greed from the basket.


In distress you called, and I rescued you.


Psalm 81:6-7


Reflection:


In a conversation with Marija Pavlovic on February 2, 1992, as we were discussing this book, she asked that I especially emphasize Our Lady's call to prayer.


It is the most important thing. There is nothing the Gospa wants more. She calls everyone to three hours of prayer, which is only 1/8 of our day, She asks for prayer in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. Her favorite prayer, of course , is the rosary, and the greatest of all prayer is holy Mass.


Marija has been invited to many Medjugorje conferences in America and elsewhere, but they pose a problem for her:"They should follow the idea of a retreat rather than a convention. Our Lady calls us to actually pray and live her messages, but sometimes we get caught up in just talking about them."


It is significant that when Marija travels abroad with Fr. Slavko to give presentations on Medjugorje, the format they use is that of a retreat. Marija speaks only briefly and then leads the participants in the rosary. Such a conference retreat would still bring together Medjugorje's friends in camaraderie and support and support, with the emphasis on prayer and spiritual growth.


Application:


Today, reflect on the priority and time you give to prayer. Can you expand your private prayer a bit at a time? This was the approach Our Lady used with the seers and villagers of Medjugorje


Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 30 - DEEDS OF LOVE AND MERCY


"In the light of this teaching, we see still more clearly the reason why the entire sacramental life of the Church and of each Christian reaches its summit and fullness in the Eucharist. For by Christ's will there is in this sacrament a continual renewing of the mystery of the sacrifice of Himself that Christ offered to the Father on the altar of the cross, a sacrifice that the Father accepted, giving, in return for this total self-giving by His Son, who 'became obedient unto death,' (156)


His own paternal gift, that is to say the grant of new immortal life in the resurrection, since the Father is the first source and the giver of life from the beginning. That new life, which involves the bodily glorification of the crucified Christ, became an efficacious sign of the new gift granted to humanity, the gift that is the Holy Spirit, through whom the divine life that the Father has in Himself and gives to His Son (157) is communicated to all men who are united with Christ."


(This continues a series of excerpts from Our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II's encyclical Redemptor Hominis, The Redeemer of Man)


Mother Teresa - No; what we need in our love is the continuous desire to love the One we love.


Meditations by Padre Pio - When we do the will of others, we must realize we are doing God's will, which is manifested for us in the will of our Superiors and neighbors.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen -


Pride is the child of ignorance


"Our hatred of a person often decreases as we learn to know him better. A boy graduating from high school is generally not as humble as when he graduates from medical school. At eighteen he thought he knew it all; at twenty-eight he feels himself ignorant in the face of the medical science he has yet to acquire.


So it is with God. Because we do not pray or contemplate or love Him, we become vain and proud; but when we know Him better we feel a deep sense of dependence which tempers our false independence. Pride is the child of ignorance, humility the offspring of knowledge."


Aug 30 http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html


Quote of the Day - In what concerns the promotion of justice and especially the defense of fundamental human rights, the Church's apostolate cannot be improvised. As a body organized within the community and the nation, the Church has both the right and the duty to participate fully in building a just and peaceful society with all means at her disposal. -Pope John Paul II Ecclesia in Africa


Today's Tidbit - Many biographies of the saints who lived during the Middle Ages, including St. Fiacre, mention that the person was raised in a monastery. This happened for a variety of reasons. Many times wealthy families would send a child to a convent or monastery to ensure an education appropriate to their social class. Poorer families would often send a child to a monastery to assist the family by reducing their economic dependence.


Religious life was often encouraged as an alternative for children who could not expect much of an inheritance later in life. These are only a few of the reasons for why a child might be sent to a monetary and unfortunately these reasons to not highlight deep religious devotion or the presence of a vocation for entering a monastery despite the fact that these two things brought many women and men to religious life in the Middle Ages.


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Unity with the merciful Christ. Because I am united to Jesus, I must be faithful always and everywhere, and I must be interiorly united with the Lord, while exteriorly observing fidelity to the rule, particularly that of silence. (1352)


At that moment, the Lord gave me to know how jealous He is of my heart.


Even among the sisters you will feel lonely. Know then that I want you to unite yourself more closely to Me. I am concerned about every beat of your heart. Every stirring of your love is reflected in My Heart. I thirst for your love. "Yes, O Jesus, but my heart would not be able to live without You, either; for even if the hearts of all creatures were offered to me, they would not satisfy the depths of my heart." (1542)


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


AUGUST 30 - DEEDS OF LOVE AND MERCY


In her monthly message for March, 1987, the Virgin said:


Dear children, today I thank you for your presence


here where I am giving you special graces. I call each of you to begin to live, starting today, the life which God desires of you, and to begin doing good deeds of love and mercy. But, dear children, I so not want you to live this message and, at the same time, sadden me by committing sin.


Dear children, I also want each of you to begin living a new life, being careful not to ruin all that God has done in you and has given to you. As I give you my special blessing, know that I am constantly with you on your road to conversion (Monthly Message March 25, 1987).


At the Last Supper, Jesus also spoke of love and service:


After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?


You call me teacher and Lord and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I , your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you"(Jn 13:12-15).


Reflection:


Loving service to others was a major theme of Christ's ministry on earth, and a repeated message at Medjugorje as well. The example of love has drawn countless numbers to the faith overt the ages. One famous example:


When Sir Henry Stanley went out to Africa in 1871 and found the missionary Dr. Livingstone, he spent months in his company. Livingstone never spoke to Stanley about spiritual things. Throughout those months, Stanley watched the old man. Livingstone's habits were beyond his comprehension, and so was his patience. He could not understand Livingstone's sympathy for the Africans.


For the sake of Christ and his gospel, the missionary doctor was patient, untiring, and eager. Stanley wrote, "When I saw that unwearied patience, that unflagging zeal, those enlightened sons of Africa, I became a Christian at his side, though he never spoke to me about it."


Application:


Call to mind someone who has inspired you by their example of faith. Has your own faith had an effect on others?

MESSAGE FROM JESUS CHRIST ALL CHRISTIANS MUST FOLLOW THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, THE LAW OF GOD AUGUST 28, 2008 AT 12:14 A.M.


Anna Marie: My Lord, may I ask are you Father, Son or Holy Spirit.


Jesus: My dear one, it is I your Savior Jesus.


Anna Marie: Yes my Jesus may I ask please, will you bow down and adore God your Eternal and Holy Father who is the Alpha and Omega the creator of all life, of all that is seen and unseen?


Jesus: Yes dear one, I your heavenly Savior Jesus will now and always bow down and adore my Holy Eternal and Merciful Father who is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of all life of all that is seen and unseen.


Anna Marie: Thank you Jesus. Yes my Lord, please speak for your sinful servant is listening.


Jesus: Little one.


Anna Marie: Yes my Lord.


Jesus: I have a message for my children. Anna Marie: Yes my Lord.


Jesus: Please tell my beloved ones that I their Savior see the terrible pains and sufferings they are now enduring. It is caused by great sins, great offenses of the human race upon others; but my children are not suffering for their sins, but for the sins of others.


It is true that the occult is on the rise, no other time in history has the practice of idolatry been so great. The occult is now being practiced by the youngest of children because parents have failed their moral obligations and have given their children the tools to be robbed of eternal life with me and my Mother in heaven.


For this, new sorrows, new disasters, new trials upon trials will befall humankind.


My Father is allowing these trials of great magnitude to take place so that many will turn back from their sinful ways. It must be so.


Jesus: Tell my beloved ones, I their Savior Jesus will stand beside them as these trials and great sorrows, calamities take place. They are to know that their reward will not come from human hands, but heavenly ones, once they are united in heaven with me. Tell my children, they should store up food, blankets and water as winter season approaches. Many will suffer much during this cold period.


Jesus: Please also know that calling yourself a Christian and behaving as a Christian are two distinctive matters that may not match. To call yourself a Christian, you should gravitate to holiness, not self gratification. You should hold fast the Laws of God set down in the Ten Commandments, not twist the Ten Commandments to meet your own self-satisfaction and popularity.


If you govern, you should govern with prudence and prayer. If you lead, you should lead with humility and prayer. If you teach, you should teach with wisdom and prayer.


Love one another, as I have loved you. Give to others who need more because I have given you more and will judge each individual on how the gifts you received by my Father in heaven were used to bless and help others who crossed your path in life.


Jesus: My children, seek me in all you do. Seek my will in all you do. Seek my love and consolation when you are struggling or when you can?t find peace in your life.


I will give you the greatest peace. I will pour my grace upon you and lift you up when your path in life is on a downward slope. I am your Savior and I will save you. Trust in me, all you who are weary for I am the way. My teachings are truth and I am your hope.


Jesus: My little ones, you must be concerned over your own nations. You must pray for your national, state and local government officials. Consecrate them to me through my Holy Mother’ sacramental, the Green Scapular. By doing so, you can change the path that your nations are taking,


Away from their God. Give to me your enemies, give to me your families, give to me yourselves. I will lead each soul into eternal life, according to my Father?s will. Do not judge if a soul is worthy to be consecrated to me, but consecrate the most desperate souls you can find.


By doing so, you will help prevent that life from destroying others and depriving hell of a servant. Children, my gifts to you are great and they are simple. Pray the Rosary, attend sacramental Mass, consecrate souls to me and pray for your world.


Jesus: I ask all my little ones to not view any movies that are in the cinemas or on your televisions which blaspheme your God or my holy and heavenly Mother. A new movie will soon come out in your cinemas and my Father is not pleased. He has warned that anyone who attends this movie will face an unspeakable punishment. This movie portrays your Savior in an unspeakable manner. For this, I give you a warning to not be party to.


Jesus: I love you my beloved friends and servants. I am your Jesus and I will remain with you always. Your Savior Jesus.


Anna Marie: Thank you my Lord, thank you for speaking this day. Praise you Jesus!


End of Message


DAILY OFFERING PRAYER - O Jesus, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, and the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Padre Pio's Prayer After Holy Communion


Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life and without You I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light and without You I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much and always be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, as poor as my soul is I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of Love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close and life passes, death, judgment and eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!
Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dangers, I need You. Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.
Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by Communion, at least by grace and love.
Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more. With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen.

"Come home"


Saturday, August 30, 2008


Dear Friends,


"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid's lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him.


He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted the lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped Israel his servant, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever." Luke 1: 46 - 55


Here is a message of Our Blessed Mother addressed to Joseph. Our Lady spoke to him in these words, "It was My great joy to be chosen the Mother of Jesus, the Savior of the world. Indeed the Mighty One has done great things for Me and I am forever grateful.


When the angel came to announce to Me that I would be the Mother of the Savior, I gave My complete 'yes' as the handmaid of the Lord. I knew that great things were to happen in the world. God was intervening in the world to bring the people out of darkness into His marvelous light and to open heaven for all those who will follow the Savior.


Many people in the world have come to believe in their Lord and Savior and more and more people are entering the Church founded by Him. They love Jesus, their Lord and My Son, and they want to follow Him every day. However, there are still many who do not believe or who have rejected Him.


I come to call all the people of the world to believe in Jesus, the Son of God, before it is too late. I will not stop My work until all My children have reached heaven. You are My dear children if you believe in Jesus with all your heart.


I ask you all to consecrate yourselves to Me and I will bring you all to Jesus. Prayer is very important for you believers so never forget to pray every day.


If I were living on earth today, I would be an active member of the Catholic Church, the Church founded by the Lord Jesus and My precious Son. My Church teaches the whole truth and She receives an abundance of all the graces, which I shower upon all Her members. Come home to your Savior and Mother in the Catholic Church."

Fr Doucette - "I want you close to Me" - Fri, Aug 29, 2008


FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE


"I want you close to Me"


Friday, August 29, 2008


Dear Friends,


Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all those engaged in selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. And he said to them, It is written: My house shall be a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of thieves. Matthew 21: 12 13


Here is a message Our Lord and Saviour gave to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him saying, The temple in Jerusalem was the most holy building in all of Israel. The Holy of Holies was part of the temple and no one could enter this sacred place except those designated.


But in My time, the people would bring all kinds of things to sell including animals within the temple. This was a desecration of the Holy Place. I simply took a rope and drove all these people with their money and things out of the temple. This building was a house of prayer and they had made it a den of thieves.


Every Catholic Church where I live in the tabernacle is a holy place. I am truly present in the Eucharist and I want every church to be used for prayer and there should be silence so everybody can be in an atmosphere of prayer. However, today there is too much noise in the churches.


People carry on a conversation in the church and this talking distracts those who wish to pray. If they wish to talk, they should go outside. People should be dressed appropriately in church and this is a sign of their respect for Me. It is a fact that I called every Christian to church especially to pray and to take part in the solemn ceremony of the Eucharist. All are to gather together to offer the Father adoration and worship. He is your God who gives you all you need every day.


If I were on earth these days, I would take a rope and chase away many people because of their lack of respect. I would teach them how to genuflect properly in greeting Me as they enter the church.


I would ask them to stop talking aloud in church and to kneel in prayer. The proper position before God is kneeling and not standing. Follow these rules and you will bring joy to My heart. I want you close to Me.


Father Melvin


Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 29 - PRAY FOR THE YOUNG


"In the mystery of the Redemption, that is to say in Jesus Christ's saving work, the Church not only shares in the Gospel of her Master through fidelity to the word and service of truth, but she also shares, through a submission filled with hope and love, in the power of His redeeming action expressed and enshrined by Him in a sacramental form, especially in the Eucharist. (154)


The Eucharist is the center and summit of the whole of sacramental life, through which each Christian receives the saving power of the Redemption, beginning with the mystery of Baptism, in which we are buried into the death of Christ, in order to become sharers in His resurrection, (155) as the Apostle teaches." (This begins a series of excerpts from Our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II's encyclical Redemptor Hominis, The Redeemer of Man)


Mother Teresa - I want you to fill your heart with great love. Don't imagine that love, to be true and burning, must be extraordinary.


Meditations by Padre Pio - The gates of heaven are open for all creatures. Remember Mary Magdalene!


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - There's no happiness in the realm of the ego


"The modern tendency is toward the affirmation of the ego, the exaltation of selfishness, riding roughshod over others in order to satisfy our own self-centeredness. It certainly has not produced much happiness, for the more the ego asserts itself the more miserable it becomes."


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


I receive Holy Communion in the manner of the Angels, so to speak. My soul is filled with God's light and nourishes itself from Him. My feelings are as if dead. This is a purely spiritual union with God; it is a great predominance of spirit over nature. (1278)


The Lord gave me knowledge of the graces which He has been constantly lavishing on me. This light pierced me through and through, and I came to understand the inconceivable favors that God has been bestowing on me. I stayed in my cell for a long act of thanksgiving, lying face down on the ground and shedding tears of gratitude.


I could not rise from the ground because, whenever I tried to do so, God's light gave me new knowledge of His grace. It was only at the third attempt that I was able to get up. As His child, I felt that everything the heavenly Father possessed was equally mine. He himself lifted me from the ground up to His Heart. I felt that everything that existed was exclusively mine, but I had no desire for it all, because God alone is enough for me. (1279)


Today, I have come to understand many of God's mysteries. I have come to know that Holy Communion remains in me until the next Holy Communion. A vivid and clearly felt presence of God continues in my soul.


The awareness of this plunges me into deep recollection, without the slightest effort on my part. My heart is a living tabernacle in which the living Host is reserved. I have never sought God in some far-off place, but within myself. It is in the depths of my own being that I commune with my God. (1302)


Aug 29 - http://www.catholic -forum.com/ e-pistle. html


Quote of the Day - Herodias harbored a grudge against him and wanted to kill him but was unable to do so. Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man, and kept him in custody. When he heard him speak he was very much perplexed, yet he liked to listen to him. She had an opportunity one day when Herod, on his birthday, gave a banquet for his courtiers, his military officers and the leading men of Galilee.


Herodias's own daughter came in and performed a dance that delighted Herod and his guests. The king said to the girl, "Ask of me whatever you wish and I will grant it to you." She went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" She replied, "The head of John the Baptist." The Girl hurried back to the king's presence and made her request, "I want you to give me at once on a platter the head of John the Baptist." The king was deeply distressed, but because of his oaths and the guests he did not wish to break his word to her.


So he promptly dispatched an executioner with orders to bring back his head. He went off and beheaded him in the prison. He brought in the head on a platter and gave it to the girl. The girl in turn gave it to her mother. When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb. -Mk 6:19-29


Today's Tidbit - At the beginning of the school year, it is customary in many places to celebrate a Mass of the Holy Spirit to invoke the Lord's blessing on the coming academic year. It is also customary for a similar Mass to be celebrated for the reopening of legislative bodies and courts of law.


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


AUGUST 29 - PRAY FOR THE YOUNG


Our Lady speaks of young people today:


My dear children, your prayers have helped me to fulfill my plans. Praised be Jesus, my dear children! Dear children, tonight I especially ask you to pray for the young. I would like to recommend to my priests that they organize groups where young people can be taught and given good advice for their lives.


To all of you who are here tonight, I ask that you be the messengers of peace to others, especially to young people. You Mother is praying for you tonight (Visionary Prayer Group August 22, 1988).


Paul's words to the people of Thessalonica can be applied to young people:


As you know, we dealt with each one of you like a father with his children, urging and encouraging you and pleading that you lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory ( 1 Thes 2:11-12).


Reflection:


Some time ago a quick thinking ten-year who boy saved the life of a nine-year-old girl who had fallen through the ice on a river near Toledo, Ohio. Spotting Janet Rospert struggling in the cold waters of the ice-crusted river, young Richard Dicken wasted no time in putting his axe to the best use he ever made of it.


He quickly climbed a nearly tree and chopped off a sturdy branch. Then, hurrying to the shore, he reached out with the branch to Janet, who was precariously hanging onto a thin piece of ice. In a matter of moments he had pulled her to safety.


In these days much is said and written abut the short comings of young people. But there are countless instances like this that reflect the unselfishness and courage that god has instilled in his youth. For our part, the Blessed Mother asks us to be"the messengers of peace to others, to young people especially."


Application:


Today simply put into practice the Gospa's message: "Pray especially for the young."


Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 31 - WHAT TO SAY IN PRAYER


"At the time of Holy Communion I sometimes picture my soul under the figure of a little child of three or four years, who at play has got its hair tossed and its clothes soiled. These misfortunes have befallen me in battling with souls. But very soon the Blessed Virgin hastens to my aid: quickly, she takes off my dirty little pinafore, smoothes my hair and adorns it with a pretty ribbon or simply with a little flower... and this suffices to render me pleasing and enables me to sit at the Banquet of Angels without blushing." (St. Therese)


Mother Teresa - Love is a fruit, in season at all times and within the reach of every hand. Anyone may gather it and no limit is set.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Always stay close to the Catholic Church, because it alone can give you true peace, because it alone possesses Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, who is the true Prince of Peace.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen -


There is only one standard which we can judge


"Proud people think themselves to be better than they are, and when criticized always believe their neighbor is jealous or has a grudge against them. The humble know themselves as they really are, for they judge themselves as they judge time, by a standard outside themselves, namely, God and His Moral Law."


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


When I had gone to the chapel for a moment, the Lord gave me to know that, among His chosen ones, there are some who are especially chosen, and whom He calls to a higher form of holiness, to exceptional union with Him. These are seraphic souls, from whom God demands greater love than He does from others.


Although all live in the same convent, yet He sometimes demands of a particular soul a greater degree of love. Such a soul understands this call, because God makes this known to it interiorly, but the soul may either follow this call or not. It depends on the soul itself whether it is faithful to these touches of the Holy Spirit, or whether it resists them. I have learned that there is a place in purgatory where souls will pay their debt to God for such transgressions; this kind of torment is the most difficult of all.


The soul which is specially marked by God will be distinguished everywhere, whether in heaven or in purgatory or in hell. In heaven, it will be distinguished from other souls by greater glory and radiance and deeper knowledge of God.


In purgatory, by greater pain, because it knows God more profoundly and desires Him more vehemently. In hell, it will suffer more profoundly than other souls, because it knows more fully Whom it has lost. This indelible mark of God's exclusive love, in the [soul], will not be obliterated. (1556)


At that moment, the light of God penetrated my being, and I felt that I was God's exclusive property; and I experienced the greatest spiritual freedom, of which I had had no previous idea.


And at the same time, I saw the glory of the Divine Mercy and an infinite multitude of souls who were praising His goodness. My soul was completely drowned in God, and I heard the words, You are My well-beloved daughter. The vivid presence of God continued throughout the whole day. (1681)

Quote of the Day - We should consider those moments spent before the Blessed Sacrament as the happiest of our lives. -St. John Vianney


Today's Tidbit - Amen is a Hebrew word meaning truly, it is true. In the Gospels, Christ used the word to ad a not of authority to his statements. In other New Testament writings, as in Hebrew usage, it was the concluding word to doxologies. As the concluding word of prayers, it expresses assent to and acceptance of God's will.


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


AUGUST 31 - WHAT TO SAY IN PRAYER


To Jelena, concerning prayer, Our Lady said:


I know that I speak to you very often about prayer, but know that there are many people in the world who do not pray, who do not even know what to say in prayer (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana January 15, 1984.).


And in Psalm 81, the Lord himself speaks in answer to a prayer:


I relieved your shoulder of the burden;


Your hands were greed from the basket.


In distress you called, and I rescued you.


Psalm 81:6-7


Reflection:


In a conversation with Marija Pavlovic on February 2, 1992, as we were discussing this book, she asked that I especially emphasize Our Lady's call to prayer.


It is the most important thing. There is nothing the Gospa wants more. She calls everyone to three hours of prayer, which is only 1/8 of our day, She asks for prayer in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. Her favorite prayer, of course , is the rosary, and the greatest of all prayer is holy Mass.


Marija has been invited to many Medjugorje conferences in America and elsewhere, but they pose a problem for her:"They should follow the idea of a retreat rather than a convention. Our Lady calls us to actually pray and live her messages, but sometimes we get caught up in just talking about them."


It is significant that when Marija travels abroad with Fr. Slavko to give presentations on Medjugorje, the format they use is that of a retreat. Marija speaks only briefly and then leads the participants in the rosary. Such a conference retreat would still bring together Medjugorje's friends in camaraderie and support and support, with the emphasis on prayer and spiritual growth.


Application:


Today, reflect on the priority and time you give to prayer. Can you expand your private prayer a bit at a time? This was the approach Our Lady used with the seers and villagers of Medjugorje


Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 30 - DEEDS OF LOVE AND MERCY


"In the light of this teaching, we see still more clearly the reason why the entire sacramental life of the Church and of each Christian reaches its summit and fullness in the Eucharist. For by Christ's will there is in this sacrament a continual renewing of the mystery of the sacrifice of Himself that Christ offered to the Father on the altar of the cross, a sacrifice that the Father accepted, giving, in return for this total self-giving by His Son, who 'became obedient unto death,' (156)


His own paternal gift, that is to say the grant of new immortal life in the resurrection, since the Father is the first source and the giver of life from the beginning. That new life, which involves the bodily glorification of the crucified Christ, became an efficacious sign of the new gift granted to humanity, the gift that is the Holy Spirit, through whom the divine life that the Father has in Himself and gives to His Son (157) is communicated to all men who are united with Christ."


(This continues a series of excerpts from Our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II's encyclical Redemptor Hominis, The Redeemer of Man)


Mother Teresa - No; what we need in our love is the continuous desire to love the One we love.


Meditations by Padre Pio - When we do the will of others, we must realize we are doing God's will, which is manifested for us in the will of our Superiors and neighbors.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen -


Pride is the child of ignorance


"Our hatred of a person often decreases as we learn to know him better. A boy graduating from high school is generally not as humble as when he graduates from medical school. At eighteen he thought he knew it all; at twenty-eight he feels himself ignorant in the face of the medical science he has yet to acquire.


So it is with God. Because we do not pray or contemplate or love Him, we become vain and proud; but when we know Him better we feel a deep sense of dependence which tempers our false independence. Pride is the child of ignorance, humility the offspring of knowledge."


Aug 30 http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html


Quote of the Day - In what concerns the promotion of justice and especially the defense of fundamental human rights, the Church's apostolate cannot be improvised. As a body organized within the community and the nation, the Church has both the right and the duty to participate fully in building a just and peaceful society with all means at her disposal. -Pope John Paul II Ecclesia in Africa


Today's Tidbit - Many biographies of the saints who lived during the Middle Ages, including St. Fiacre, mention that the person was raised in a monastery. This happened for a variety of reasons. Many times wealthy families would send a child to a convent or monastery to ensure an education appropriate to their social class. Poorer families would often send a child to a monastery to assist the family by reducing their economic dependence.


Religious life was often encouraged as an alternative for children who could not expect much of an inheritance later in life. These are only a few of the reasons for why a child might be sent to a monetary and unfortunately these reasons to not highlight deep religious devotion or the presence of a vocation for entering a monastery despite the fact that these two things brought many women and men to religious life in the Middle Ages.


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Unity with the merciful Christ. Because I am united to Jesus, I must be faithful always and everywhere, and I must be interiorly united with the Lord, while exteriorly observing fidelity to the rule, particularly that of silence. (1352)


At that moment, the Lord gave me to know how jealous He is of my heart.


Even among the sisters you will feel lonely. Know then that I want you to unite yourself more closely to Me. I am concerned about every beat of your heart. Every stirring of your love is reflected in My Heart. I thirst for your love. "Yes, O Jesus, but my heart would not be able to live without You, either; for even if the hearts of all creatures were offered to me, they would not satisfy the depths of my heart." (1542)


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


AUGUST 30 - DEEDS OF LOVE AND MERCY


In her monthly message for March, 1987, the Virgin said:


Dear children, today I thank you for your presence


here where I am giving you special graces. I call each of you to begin to live, starting today, the life which God desires of you, and to begin doing good deeds of love and mercy. But, dear children, I so not want you to live this message and, at the same time, sadden me by committing sin.


Dear children, I also want each of you to begin living a new life, being careful not to ruin all that God has done in you and has given to you. As I give you my special blessing, know that I am constantly with you on your road to conversion (Monthly Message March 25, 1987).


At the Last Supper, Jesus also spoke of love and service:


After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?


You call me teacher and Lord and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I , your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you"(Jn 13:12-15).


Reflection:


Loving service to others was a major theme of Christ's ministry on earth, and a repeated message at Medjugorje as well. The example of love has drawn countless numbers to the faith overt the ages. One famous example:


When Sir Henry Stanley went out to Africa in 1871 and found the missionary Dr. Livingstone, he spent months in his company. Livingstone never spoke to Stanley about spiritual things. Throughout those months, Stanley watched the old man. Livingstone's habits were beyond his comprehension, and so was his patience. He could not understand Livingstone's sympathy for the Africans.


For the sake of Christ and his gospel, the missionary doctor was patient, untiring, and eager. Stanley wrote, "When I saw that unwearied patience, that unflagging zeal, those enlightened sons of Africa, I became a Christian at his side, though he never spoke to me about it."


Application:


Call to mind someone who has inspired you by their example of faith. Has your own faith had an effect on others?

MESSAGE FROM JESUS CHRIST ALL CHRISTIANS MUST FOLLOW THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, THE LAW OF GOD AUGUST 28, 2008 AT 12:14 A.M.


Anna Marie: My Lord, may I ask are you Father, Son or Holy Spirit.


Jesus: My dear one, it is I your Savior Jesus.


Anna Marie: Yes my Jesus may I ask please, will you bow down and adore God your Eternal and Holy Father who is the Alpha and Omega the creator of all life, of all that is seen and unseen?


Jesus: Yes dear one, I your heavenly Savior Jesus will now and always bow down and adore my Holy Eternal and Merciful Father who is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of all life of all that is seen and unseen.


Anna Marie: Thank you Jesus. Yes my Lord, please speak for your sinful servant is listening.


Jesus: Little one.


Anna Marie: Yes my Lord.


Jesus: I have a message for my children. Anna Marie: Yes my Lord.


Jesus: Please tell my beloved ones that I their Savior see the terrible pains and sufferings they are now enduring. It is caused by great sins, great offenses of the human race upon others; but my children are not suffering for their sins, but for the sins of others.


It is true that the occult is on the rise, no other time in history has the practice of idolatry been so great. The occult is now being practiced by the youngest of children because parents have failed their moral obligations and have given their children the tools to be robbed of eternal life with me and my Mother in heaven.


For this, new sorrows, new disasters, new trials upon trials will befall humankind.


My Father is allowing these trials of great magnitude to take place so that many will turn back from their sinful ways. It must be so.


Jesus: Tell my beloved ones, I their Savior Jesus will stand beside them as these trials and great sorrows, calamities take place. They are to know that their reward will not come from human hands, but heavenly ones, once they are united in heaven with me. Tell my children, they should store up food, blankets and water as winter season approaches. Many will suffer much during this cold period.


Jesus: Please also know that calling yourself a Christian and behaving as a Christian are two distinctive matters that may not match. To call yourself a Christian, you should gravitate to holiness, not self gratification. You should hold fast the Laws of God set down in the Ten Commandments, not twist the Ten Commandments to meet your own self-satisfaction and popularity.


If you govern, you should govern with prudence and prayer. If you lead, you should lead with humility and prayer. If you teach, you should teach with wisdom and prayer.


Love one another, as I have loved you. Give to others who need more because I have given you more and will judge each individual on how the gifts you received by my Father in heaven were used to bless and help others who crossed your path in life.


Jesus: My children, seek me in all you do. Seek my will in all you do. Seek my love and consolation when you are struggling or when you can?t find peace in your life.


I will give you the greatest peace. I will pour my grace upon you and lift you up when your path in life is on a downward slope. I am your Savior and I will save you. Trust in me, all you who are weary for I am the way. My teachings are truth and I am your hope.


Jesus: My little ones, you must be concerned over your own nations. You must pray for your national, state and local government officials. Consecrate them to me through my Holy Mother’ sacramental, the Green Scapular. By doing so, you can change the path that your nations are taking,


Away from their God. Give to me your enemies, give to me your families, give to me yourselves. I will lead each soul into eternal life, according to my Father?s will. Do not judge if a soul is worthy to be consecrated to me, but consecrate the most desperate souls you can find.


By doing so, you will help prevent that life from destroying others and depriving hell of a servant. Children, my gifts to you are great and they are simple. Pray the Rosary, attend sacramental Mass, consecrate souls to me and pray for your world.


Jesus: I ask all my little ones to not view any movies that are in the cinemas or on your televisions which blaspheme your God or my holy and heavenly Mother. A new movie will soon come out in your cinemas and my Father is not pleased. He has warned that anyone who attends this movie will face an unspeakable punishment. This movie portrays your Savior in an unspeakable manner. For this, I give you a warning to not be party to.


Jesus: I love you my beloved friends and servants. I am your Jesus and I will remain with you always. Your Savior Jesus.


Anna Marie: Thank you my Lord, thank you for speaking this day. Praise you Jesus!


End of Message


DAILY OFFERING PRAYER - O Jesus, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, and the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Padre Pio's Prayer After Holy Communion


Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life and without You I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light and without You I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much and always be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, as poor as my soul is I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of Love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close and life passes, death, judgment and eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!
Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dangers, I need You. Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.
Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by Communion, at least by grace and love.
Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more. With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen.

BLACK SAINTS OF THE DAY

 


Alexander of Gaza, Romulus (subdeacon) of Diopolis, Paesis (Pausis), Alexander of Kemet, Agapius, and Dionysius— beheaded after declaring their Christianity. (In Palestine) 24 March 303 A.D.


Alexander, Deacon Possibly a duplicate name, but a deacon in Alexandria, Kemet (Africa), who agreed to the deposition at Alexandria in 321A.D.in a synod of more than one hundred African Kemetian (Egyptian) and Libyan bishops of Heretic priest Arius and his wicked, irreverent henchmen. (One of the holy folk).


ALEXANDER, CONFESSOR, PATRIARCH OF ALEXANDRIA


I am St Alexander. I followed Achillas in the see (church headquarters) of Alexandria in 313 A.D..


I cared for the poor, in my mild mannered way. In administrative positions, I somewhat favored monks who had lived in solitude for Church positions.


Sadly during my administration, the Alexandrian priest Arius joined Meletius, Bishop of Lycopolis. Meletius broke away from Peter, the Alexandrian patriarch in 300 A.D.. But Meletius returned to the faith.


Patriarch Peter took Meletius back, after he repented. And ordained Arius deacon. Arius returned to his usurper ways, causing problems in working for the Meletians.


Peter excommunicated Arius. But Achillas took him back after he repented. Then made him a priest, curator of a church in the Baucales region of Alexandria.


Arius denied Yeshua as God. Father Athanasius told us that Arius claimed Yeshua other than his created divinity, or spiritual substance, was made before the world:


Colluthus, a curator of Alexandria with others attacked the blasphemies of Arius and his followers (called Arians). Folks called Catholics, Colluthians.


I tried to gently persuade Arius back to truth.


Colluthus was not pleased with my lenient behavior of Arius. He precipitated. But soon he returned to the fold of Holy Mother Church.


Learning that the followers of Arius were increasing, I called Arius before the clergy as a group. His rantings were intolerable. I excommunicated him around the latter part of 320 A.D..


A group of 100 or more bishops agreed with me in a council at Alexandria. The synod condemned him and his followers, calling anathema condemned by the synod.


I wrote to Pope Sylvester about the problems Arius was causing. Even Emperor Constantine intervened to inquire about the matters.


I sat in on the First Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. 26 Feb. I went home to Yeshua’s judgment, 326 A.D.


I brought Athanasius to the meetings which discussed Arius, who was exiled. I died 26 Feb. 326 A.D. Athanasius succeeded me.


Alexander the Bishop, Heraclius, Anna, Elizabeth, Theodota and Glyceria, at Adrianopolis (2nd or 3rd. century), martyr. 22 Oct.


Alexander and 40 Others, Martyrs beheaded at Carthage (3rd century), April 10.


Alexander of Kemet, Paesis (Pausis), Romulus (subdeacon) of Diopolis, Paesis (Pausis), Alexander of Kemet, another Alexander of Gaza, Agapius, and Dionysius— beheaded after declaring our Christianity. (In Palestine) 24 March 303 A.D.


Alexander, Paulus, Solutor, Theodulus, Theohilus, Octavius, Petronius, and Manilus. Martyrs at Carthage, 15 March


Alexander the Soldier of Kemet (Egypt), martyr July 9 converted and martyred with Patermuthius (Petarpemotis), Copres, and Alexander.


I, Patermuthius, was a 75 years old, Kemetian hermit. I was originally a robber. My follower and converter, the monk Copres (Copri) and I were arraigned by Julian the Apostate. Torture weakened Copri. We were thrown into the furnace. 4th century, 9 July, 17 Dec.


Alexander, Cronion, Julian, Macarius, and 13 companions at Alexandria, Martyrs. 30 Oct.


Alexander, Secundianus, Quartus, Victorianus, Januarius, Medianus, Adauctus, Denecutia, Maximianus, Proculus, Afranus, Audactus, and Deodatus. Martyrs in Africa. 14 May.


Alexander, martyr, Tribune of Theban Legion


Alexander, Romulus, Acutus, Pinnarius, Marulus, Successus, Misias, Matutina, Donatus, Successa, Solutor, and Saturninus. We were martyred in Africa, 27 March.


Alexandra of Alexandria, Bishop, martyred in 311 A.D. I attacked some of Origen’s principles, according to Leontius of Byzantium and Roman Emperor Justinian. 3 March.


ALEXANDER, In Alexandria, Kemet about 250 A.D. I suffered martyrdom during the terror and persecutions of Decius. 12 Dec.


Alexandra, I am a maidservant and hermitess. For 10 years, I lived in a tomb with food and drink delivered to me by one kind woman. In penance, I wished to see no one, as a man previously had been lustful because of God’s visage gift to me.


Spinning flax, I prayed from early morning, until hour nine. I spun flax, meditating on the lives, teachings, and examples of the apostles, martyrs, patriarchs, and prophets.


Melania the Elder used to visit me, but I did not see her. We only spoke. I died in my sleep. 15 Sept.


Alexandria Martyrs 261 A.D. 356 A.D. 390 A.D. 342 A.D.


Alexandrian Martyrs martyred in the Church of Theonas, Alexandria. We died in 372 A.D. Tradition says we were of both sexes who were killed or exiled from Alexandria during Athansius’ exile (the fifth time) by Emperor Valens the Arian. 13 May.


Alexandria, see Great Martyr Catherine,

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE


"Marriage is of very great importance"


Thursday, August 28, 2008


Dear Friends,


“Some Pharisees approached Jesus, and tested him, saying, ‘Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause whatever?’ He said in reply, ‘Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female and said, for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?’


So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, no man can separate.” Matthew 19: 3 – 6


We had a very beautiful day yesterday with sunshine the whole day and no clouds in the sky. It was cool in the morning but the temperature was great in the afternoon. It is very sunny this morning just like yesterday.


I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday morning at 9:30 a.m. in the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. In the evening I was at the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, for the prayer meeting. It started at 8:00 p.m. and ended at 9:00 p.m. A good group turned up and I am sure that all were filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.


Today I will celebrate Holy Mass at 7:00 p.m. in the little shrine and some visitors from away will be present. There will be a Healing Mass here on Friday, September 6, at 7:30 p.m. and at 7:00 p.m. we will have the rosary. Everyone is welcome.


Here is another message of Our Lord to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him saying, “Marriage is of great importance to God. He created the first two human beings male and female and gave them a commandment: ‘Multiply and fill the earth.’ It is in the context of marriage that children are to be born.


They need a stable home with a father and a mother. This is why marriage is between one man and one woman and it is to last until death. I came and lived with you to teach you the truth so that you could be saved.


I did teach about marriage and today it is a sacrament instituted by Me. For Christians, marriage is sacred and all My followers are to receive this sacrament before they live together as husband and wife.


It is a fact that governments and society are destroying marriage by all the nonsense they have started. Society says that there is nothing wrong if men and women live together without marriage. Governments have legalized homosexual unions, which goes directly against marriage.


They allow divorce even though the Father has forbidden it. No wonder with all this going on around you that nearly fifty percent of marriages do not last. Divorce is the cause of much pain and suffering in the world today.


Marriage is of very great importance in My eyes. It is important for those who are married to work hard together with Me to make their marriage work. You need to pray together so I may come and live with you in your home.


You need to sit together often and discuss your problems and difficulties in a reasonable way. Call on Me and I will help you. I want all of you to have a happy marriage with children.”


Father Melvin


Message to Eileen Renders August 28,2008


Hello Joyce


My husband is doing well on his medication, and I pray that he does not have another "incident." And I will remember your intentions in my prayers.

Thursday Adoration, August 28, 2008


Jesus Asks Us To Trust In Him


Today I spent time alone with Jesus saying a rosary for all those with special needs and intentions. I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed


Speak Lord (if it be His will), Your servant listens.


Once again Jesus showed me a Market place that way filled with people shoulder to shoulder. Each scurrying about in search of food, money, some comfort and security.


Jesus spoke saying; Eileen My child, I tell you truly, Those who come to Me in trust with their burdens will have all their needs taken care of. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters.


Message from JESUS to littlest of servants August 27, 2008


Many wonder about my Church and the problems that lie within her. I tell you that the problems that exist are due to MY priests, bishops, and cardinals. Many have left ME.


JESUS SOVEREIGN KING


JESUS wants all to read John 12:43 to understand.

MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,


IT IS UPON YOU DEAR CHILDREN, THAT TIME WHEN YOU ARE ASKED TO FINALIZE YOUR PREPARATION AND MAKE READY FOR JESUS. YOU WILL BE IN AWE OF ALL THAT AWAITS YOU AND YOU WILL RECALL MY URGINGS.


WHEN YOU PRAY, REMAIN OPEN TO THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE WILL MAKE MANY VISITS THAT YOU KNOW WHAT IS TRUTH AND HOLD TO IT. THE TRUTH WILL BE ON YOUR TONGUES AND IN YOUR HEARTS. IT WILL BE FOR YOU A REALIZATION OF YOUR DEEP FAITH. OH HOW BLESSED YOU ARE.


DEAR CHILDREN, AS WE PRAY THIS NIGHT, I CALL YOU INTO THE REFUGE OF MY HEART. I AM FOR ALL TIMES AND I AM FOR YOU NOW. LISTEN ALWAYS CAREFULLY, THAT WHAT I REVEAL TO YOU WILL BRING YOU AWARE AND READY FOR JESUS' ACT OF DIVINE MERCY. MAKE NO CONCESSIONS IN THE TRUTH. BE HONORED IF YOU ARE RIDICULED FOR IT IS ALL FOR JESUS' SAKE.


MY CHILDREN, YOU ARE MINE. I CARE FOR YOU WITH DEEP LOVE AND SIMPLICITY - THE SIMPLICITY OF YOUR MOTHER. YOU TOO ARE SIMPLE SOULS.


WITH A DEEP LOVE AND SIMPLE HEART DO I GIVE YOUR BLESSING, AND I DO THIS IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.


THE BLESSING OF CHRIST FALLS UPON YOU AS YOU PRAISE AND THANK GOD NOW AND FOREVER.


Aug 28 St. Augustine


Saint Augustine


Lord,
renew in your Church
the spirit you gave
Saint Augustine.
Filled with this spirit,
may we thirst for you alone
as the fountain of wisdom
and seek you as the source
of eternal love.


We ask this through
our Lord Jesus Christ,
your Son,
who lives and reigns
with you
and the Holy Spirit,
one God,
for ever and ever.


Amen.


Bishop of Hippo (North Africa) from 395 and Doctor of the Church, St. Augustine lived 354-430. No other single theologian has exercised as decisive an influence on the shape and character of Western theology, both Catholic and Protestant, as Augustine. (Encylopedia of Catholicism - HarperCollins)


Prayers of St. Augustine with beautiful pictures


www.geocities.com/ritapaz/saintaugustineprayers.html


St. Augustine was born in Africa in 354. His young adulthood was a stormy period, including fathering a child out of wedlock. In his twenties he moved to Milan, Italy, where he became a professor of rhetoric, but his personal life continued to be stormy and wayward.


While in Milan, two things happened to him. First, he became increasingly unhappy with his personal life, and second, he became attracted to Christianity. It was in this frame of mind that he sat down one day and began to ponder his life. Suddenly he broke into tears and began to cry out to God: "And you, Lord! How long will you be angry with me? Forever?


Why not at this very hour put an end to my life?" Augustine said later: I was crying out like this when, suddenly, I heard the voice of a child. It seemed to say, "Take and read! Take and read!" I stood up, for now the voice seemed like a command to read the Bible. I got a Bible and opened it, and the first words my eyes fell upon were from the letter of Paul to the Romans.


They read: "Throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; let us conduct ourselves properly as in the day, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in rivalry and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh" (Rom 13:12-14).


When Augustine read this, he stopped. There was not need to go on. He says: "My heart was suddenly flooded with a light that erased all my doubts. And my soul was filled with a deep peace."


Application:


Today, as Our Lady asks, pray for the strength to continue your ongoing conversion.


DAILY OFFERING PRAYER - O Jesus, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, and the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Padre Pio's Prayer After Holy Communion


Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life and without You I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light and without You I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much and always be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, as poor as my soul is I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of Love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close and life passes, death, judgment and eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!
Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dangers, I need You. Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.
Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by Communion, at least by grace and love.
Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love,Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more. With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen.

The Prayer of Our Lady of All Nations to be prayed before the Cross: PROPHECY TODAY


"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father, send now Your Spirit over the earth. Let the Holy Spirit live in the hearts of all nations, that they may be preserved from degeneration, disaster and war. May the Lady of All Nations, who once was Mary, be our Advocate. Amen." PROPHECY TODAY


This Time Is Our Time PROPHECY TODAY


The following are excerpts of messages given to Ida Peerderman of Amsterdam from Our Lady of All Nations during the 1950's, only: PROPHECY TODAY


"I have said: this time is Our time. By this I mean the following: the world is caught up in degeneration and superficiality; it does not know which direction to turn. That is why the Father is sending me to be the Advocate, so that the Holy Spirit will come.


For the world is not saved by force, the world will be saved by the Spirit. For it is nothing other than ideas which rule the world. Very well then, Church of Rome, know your task. Bring your ideas, bring Christ anew." (#32 April 29, 1951)


"I have said: this time is Our time. This means that the Father and the Son wants to send the Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate throughout the whole world in this time." (#34 July 2, 1951)


"I was already Coredemptrix at the Annunciation."


"This means: the Mother was made Coredemptrix by the will of the Father."


"The new and final dogma of Marian history will be the dogma of the Coredemptrix and Mediatrix As Advocate" (#37 & 38 1951)


"The Lady of All Nations hereby promises that those who ask will be heard according to the will of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This prayer has been given for the redemption of the world. This prayer has been given for the conversion of the world. Pray this prayer in all that you do. This prayer shall be spread in churches and by modern means.


The people of this world shall learn to invoke the Lady of All Nations, who once was Mary, as their Advocate, that the world may be delivered from degeneration, disaster and war. Tell this to your theologians. This time is Our time. Come before this image and pray." (#38 December 31, 1951)


"The Lady of All Nations will stand above the community. Let everyone ask using this simple prayer, and the Lady will help them according to the will of the Father and the Son. She was Mary, the Handmaid of the Lord. She now wishes to be the Lady of All Nations. No matter who or what you are, come to the Lady of All Nations."


"I warn the Christian people and say: realize the seriousness of this time. Join hands. Plant the Cross in the midst of the world. You are all responsible for your task which you have to accomplish in this time.


Do not let yourselves be led to the wrong spirit. Pray every day that the Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father, may send the Holy Spirit over this world, and the Lady of All Nations, who once was Mary, will be your Advocate. So be it." (#41 April 6, 1952)


"I implore and ask the Church of Rome: fight in this time with one accord for the one Truth, the Lord and Creator of this world, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This time is the time of the Holy Spirit.


All of you, ask the Holy Spirit to bring the True Spirit over the world. The world is degenerating. The great ones of this world strive for power. The great ones of this world think only in materialistic terms. People are being scattered and misled."


Now the Lady points at the globe. I see confusion and unrest among the peoples. The Lady says, "Just look over all these countries. Nowhere unity, nowhere peace, nowhere tranquility for the peoples.


Everywhere tension, everywhere anxiety. The Lord Jesus Christ allows this. His time will come. Beforehand there will be a time of unrest. Humanism, paganism, atheists, snakes - beforehand they will try to rule this world." (#42 June 15, 1952)


I then see the world with all those groups of people on it, and, so to speak, an enormous hand clasping it. The Lady says, "Listen to the Lady, who wants to be your Mother. Pray, nations, that your sacrifice may find favor with the Lord. Pray, nations, that the true Holy Spirit may come. Pray, nations, that the Lady of All Nations may be your Advocate."


Then the Lady says very slowly and clearly, "And now the Lady of All Nations promises to grant true peace. But the nations, together with the Church - understand well - together with the Church, will have to pray my prayer in this year. Tell this to the Sacrista. Say that the time has now come. Great world events are still to come."


The Lady says the latter with emphasis. "Your spiritual director shall see to it. Do not be afraid. It is Mary, the Lady of All Nations, who is bringing this message."


The Lady pauses again for a moment. Then she says clearly and slowly, "Under this title she will save the world." (#45 March 20, 1945)


The Lady is standing before me. She says, "I have come today to bring a special message. Ask the Holy Father to pray the prayer - which Mary as Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate, under the title 'The Lady of All Nations', has given to the world - and to lead the nations in praying it."


"Tell him: apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, teach your peoples this simple yet profound prayer. It is Mary, the Lady of All Nations, who asks this of you. You are the shepherd of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.


Tend your sheep. Know well, great threats are hanging over the Church, are hanging over the world. Now the moment has come for you to speak of Mary as Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate, under the title 'The Lady of All Nations'. Why is Mary asking this of you?


Because she has been sent by her Lord and Creator so that, under this title and through this prayer, she may deliver the world from a great world catastrophe. You know that Mary wishes to come as the Lady of All Nations. She is now asking that the people may hear this title from you, the Holy Father."


"The Pope's Sacrista shall give this message, as the other ones, to the Holy Father. Through this prayer the Lady will save the world. I repeat this promise once more." (#46 May 10, 1953)


"The Lady of All Nations will be allowed to bring peace to the world. Yet she must be asked for it under this title. The Lady of All Nations will assist the Church of Rome. The Church of Rome, the community, shall invoke Mary, the Mother of the Lord Jesus Christ, under this new title, 'The Lady of All Nations'.


They shall pray my prayer against degeneration, disaster and war, and bring it among all nations. I shall help the Church of Rome, the community. The nations shall invoke me under this title."


The Lady says this with great emphasis. Now the Lady raises her forefinger as if in warning and says, "Holy Father [Pope Pius XII], you have a great task to accomplish before you are taken up among Us.


The Lady tells you once again: carry through with the plans that you have worked out. See to the final dogma, the crowning of the Mother of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate. In 54 you are to bring this new title among the nations." (#47 October 11, 1953)


Now the Lady pauses for a moment, gazing before herself. Then I feel something terribly horrid coming around the Lady. She says, "The powers of hell will break loose."


Next it is as if I heard thunder and terrible noise about her. But then the Lady smiles and says, "They will not, however, defeat the Lady of All Nations." (#48 December 3, 1953)


"Because Mary is Coredemptrix, she is also Mediatrix, she is also Advocate. Not only because she is the Mother of the Lord Jesus Christ, but - and mark this well - because she is the Immaculate Conception."


"It is the crowning of your Lady."


"This dogma must come as a keystone of Marian thought. Tell the theologians that the Lady of All Nations wants to see this fulfilled." (49 April 4, 1954)


"The Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate is now standing before you. I have chosen this day - on this day [ May 31 ] the Lady will be crowned."


"On this date the Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate will receive her official title as 'The Lady of All Nations.' Mark well, these three thoughts in one act. These three."


Now, all of a sudden, it is as if I were standing with the Lady above the dome of a big church. As we enter, I hear the Lady say, "I am taking you there. Relate what I let you see and hear."


We are now in a very big church, in St. Peter's. I see lots of cardinals and bishops gathered there. Then the Pope enters. It is a Pope I do not know. He is being carried in a kind of chair, but later he continues on foot. People cheer; the choir begins to sing. Now the Holy Father is announcing something in a language I do not understand, while holding up two fingers.


All at once the Lady stands on the globe again. She smiles and says, "Child, thus have I let you see what is the will of the Lord Jesus Christ. This day will become the coronation of His Mother, the Lady of All Nations, who once was Mary."


"The Lady of All Nations wishes for unity in the true Holy Spirit. The world is covered by a false spirit, by Satan. Once the dogma, the final dogma in Marian history, has been proclaimed, the Lady of All Nations will grant peace, true peace, to the world.


The nations, however, must pray my prayer, together with the Church. They shall know that the Lady of All Nations has come as Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate. So be it." (#50 May 31, 1954)


"Satan is not yet expelled. The Lady of All Nations may now come in order to expel Satan. She comes to announce the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will then come over this earth. You, however, shall pray my prayer which I gave to the world. Every day and every moment you shall think of the prayer which the Lady of All Nations gave to this world in this time. How strongly Satan is ruling, God alone knows.


He now sends His Mother, the Lady of All Nations, to you, to all nations. She will defeat Satan, as has been foretold. She will place her feet upon Satan's head."


"You will go through a great deal yet, in this century. You, nations of this time, know that you are under the protection of the Lady of All Nations. Invoke her as Advocate; ask her to stave off all disasters. Ask her to banish degeneration from this world. From degeneration comes disaster.


From degeneration comes war. Through my prayer you shall ask that this be staved off from the world. You do not know how great and how important this prayer is before God. He will hear His Mother, as she wants to be your Advocate."


"Great events are going to happen…There will be alarming inventions, such that even your shepherds will be astonished and say: we are at a loss"


"Understand, the Holy Spirit is nearer than ever. The Holy Spirit will only come when you pray for it. From the beginning, He already was. Now, however, the time has come."


"The world no longer knows where to turn. Very well then, peoples, trust in your Mother, for she has never forsaken her children. She may come under this new title: Coredemptrix, Mediatrix, Advocate."


"Once you begin to ask the Holy Father for the dogma, the Lady will fulfill her promise, and true peace will come. True peace, nations - that is the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is nearer than ever. Understand these words well. It is really and truly the Mother, the Lady of All Nations, who is telling you this.


My admonitions: do not listen to false prophets; listen only to your shepherds, to your ministers, to the voice of your conscience - to a Higher Being. And this I say for those who do not belong to the true Church."


"I just said: alarming inventions will be made. God allows this; but you peoples, you can see to it that it does not result in disaster. You peoples, I beg you...the Lady begs you; hear this well. Never has the Mother of God begged you "


Now the Lady pauses again and then says, "So that you do not arrive at alarming things, nations, the Lady begs you now, today: ask the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit to protect His people, to bring His people to unity once again.


People have to attain unity, to be one, and over them: the Lady of All Nations. One community, peoples; here I am stressing these words: one community."


"I said: I will give consolation. Nations, your Mother knows life, your Mother knows sorrow, your Mother knows the Cross. Everything you go through in this life is a passage that your Mother, the Lady of All Nations, went before you. She went this road before you."


The Lady pauses again for a moment and then says slowly, "But she went up to the Father; she returned to her Son. Nations, you also go up to the Father by your way of the Cross; you also go up to the Son by your way of the Cross.


The Holy Spirit will help you. Invoke Him in this time. I cannot say this enough to the world: go to the Holy Spirit in this time!"


The Lady says the latter very slowly and with emphasis. "Your Mother will tell you something consoling. When the time of the Lord Jesus Christ is at hand, you will notice that false prophets, war, discord, dissension are going to disappear. Now the time is dawning. The Lady of All Nations is telling you this." (#51 May 31, 1955)


"The dogma of Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate has to be proclaimed before 1960." (#52 may 31, 1956)


"If they do what I have said, I will assist the peoples, all of them, even the most primitive, and I will be allowed to bring true peace." (#53 May 31, 1957)


"This Holy Father, Pope Pius XII, will be taken up among Us at the beginning of October of this year. The Lady of All Nations, the Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate, will lead him to eternal joy."


[This prediction came true, as Pope Pius XII died on October 9, 1958.] (#54 February 19, 1958)


"Warn the clergy of false doctrines, particularly concerning the Eucharist." (#55 May 31, 1958)


Commentary (From the Era of Peace site, fair use religious and educational purposes for those in the African Diaspora who would not ordinarily be exposed to such0.


It is clear from the excerpts above, that it is vitally important that Our Holy Father declare the proposed 5th and Final Marian Dogma as Mary, Coredemptix, Mediatrix, and Advocate. We have been told by other prophecies yet-to-be-approved that with the declaration of this dogma, Our Lady will be granted her full power from Our Heavenly Father to crush the head of Satan (Gen. 3:15).


But what can we do?


We should pray the prayer of Our Lady of All Nations above routinely, and help to proliferate both the use of the prayer and the devotion to Our Lady of All Nations. Additionally, we should pray that the Holy Father will declare the 5th dogma soon. Also, we should teach others the meaning of the 5th dogma, for as we have been told, when it is declared, there will be much confusion resulting in a major Schism within the Church.


We can advance also to the web site of Vox Populi Mariae Mediatrici and sign the petition encouraging the Holy Father to declare the 5th dogma. The petition is located at: http://www.voxpopuli.org


Please act now to help Our Lady of All Nations in this effort, by spreading this somewhat overlooked devotion.


This Time Is Our Time


The apparitions of Our Lady of All Nations to Ida Peederman are currently under investigation by the Church. However, various levels of ecclesiastical approval have been rendered including: Approval of the prayer, Approval of the Image of Our Lady of All Nations, and Approval of veneration of Our Lady under the Title of Our Lady of All Nations, and others.


For additional information of the various levels of approval refer to "Church Documents" at the following URL: http://www.laudate.org/en/documents/church_documents.htm

Prophecy of St Malachy


In the book, "The Year of Three Popes" by Peter Hebblethwaite (about the events of 1978 which saw the death of Paul VI, the election and death of John Paul I, and then the election of John Paul II) he mentions the spate of editorials in the Osservatore Romano and the spate of letters to the editor in the Times of London at the time of the conclaves about what the mottoes attributed to the dead pope or the next pope by St Malachy in his prophecies might mean.


A library trip and look through the microfilm of the Times to read the letters…have caused the prophecies to be reproduced below, as well as an explanation of them from the Catholic Encyclopedia(1913).


The prevailing view today is that they are elaborate forgeries, probably perpretrated by a school of Jesuits in the 1600s. This is based on the clear relation of the mottos to the various popes until that period, and the need to find oblique references (such as the motto of the Pope's home diocese) to make the particular motto fit the particular pope. The inclusion of anti-popes would also appear to militate against the authenticity of the prophecies.


Nevertheless, as each new conclave comes and goes, people start to become a bit jittery about them (since the list runs out soon!).


Apparently, in 1958, before the Conclave that would elect Pope John XXIII, Cardinal Spellman of New York hired a boat, filled it with sheep and sailed up and down the Tiber River, to show that he was "pastor et nautor", the motto attibuted to the next Pope in the prophecies!


I think they are a bit of fun, and the semantic exercise of trying to fit the motto to the Pope that goes on in letters to the editor around the world is great reading!


According to the prophecy, the current Pope may be the second last Pope Gloria Oliv� ("Glory of the Olives").


However, it should be noted that some commentators over the centuries have pointed out that there is nothing that says there will be no popes between Gloria Olivæ and Petrus Romanus. It may be that there will be a long line of popes between them!


(From the Catholic Encyclopedia 1913 edition)


The most famous and best known prophecies about the popes are those attributed to St. Malachy. In 1139 he went to Rome to give an account of the affairs of his diocese to the pope, Innocent II, who promised him two palliums for the metropolitan Sees of Armagh and Cashel.


While at Rome, he received (according to the Abb� Cucherat) the strange vision of the future wherein was unfolded before his mind the long list of illustrious pontiffs who were to rule the Church until the end of time.


The same author tells us that St. Malachy gave his manuscript to Innocent II to console him in the midst of his tribulations, and that the document remained unknown in the Roman Archives until its discovery in 1590 (Cucherat, "Proph. de la succession des papes", ch. xv).


They were first published by Arnold de Wyon, and ever since there has been much discussion as to whether they are genuine predictions of St. Malachy or forgeries. The silence of 400 years on the part of so many learned authors who had written about the popes, and the silence of St. Bernard especially, who wrote the "Life of St. Malachy", is a strong argument against their authenticity, but it is not conclusive if we adopt Cucherat's theory that they were hidden in the Archives during those 400 years.


These short prophetical announcements, in number 112, indicate some noticeable trait of all future popes from Celestine II, who was elected in the year 1130, until the end of the world. They are enunciated under mystical titles.


Those who have undertaken to interpret and explain these symbolical prophecies have succeeded in discovering some trait, allusion, point, or similitude in their application to the individual popes, either as to their country, their name, their coat of arms or insignia, their birth-place, their talent or learning, the title of their cardinalate, the dignities which they held etc.


For example, the prophecy concerning Urban VIII is Lilium et Rosa (the lily and the rose); he was a native of Florence and on the arms of Florence figured a fleur-de-lis; he had three bees emblazoned on his escutcheon, and the bees gather honey from the lilies and roses.


Again, the name accords often with some remarkable and rare circumstance in the pope's career; thus Peregrinus apostolicus (pilgrim pope), which designates Pius VI, appears to be verified by his journey when pope into Germany, by his long career as pope, and by his expatriation from Rome at the end of his pontificate.


Those who have lived and followed the course of events in an intelligent manner during the pontificates of Pius IX, Leo XIII, and Pius X cannot fail to be impressed with the titles given to each by the prophecies of St. Malachy and their wonderful appropriateness:


Crux de Cruce (Cross from a Cross) Pius IX; Lumen in c�lo (Light in the Sky) Leo XIII; Ignis ardens (Burning Fire) Pius X. There is something more than coincidence in the designations given to these three popes so many hundred years before their time.


We need not have recourse either to the family names, armorial bearings or cardinalatial titles, to see the fitness of their designations as given in the prophecies. The afflictions and crosses of Pius IX were more than fell to the lot of his predecessors; and the more aggravating of these crosses were brought on by the House of Savoy whose emblem was a cross. Leo XIII was a veritable luminary of the papacy. The present pope is truly a burning fire of zeal for the restoration of all things to Christ.


The last of these prophecies concerns the end of the world and is as follows: "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End."


It has been noticed concerning Petrus Romanus, who according to St. Malachy's list is to be the last pope, that the prophecy does not say that no popes will intervene between him and his predecessor designated Gloria oliv


. It merely says that he is to be the last, so that we may suppose as many popes as we please before "Peter the Roman". Cornelius a Lapide refers to this prophecy in his commentary "On the Gospel of St. John" (C. xvi) and "On the Apocalypse" (cc. xvii-xx), and he endeavours to calculate according to it the remaining years of time.


Notes


Note: The Pope numbers given are from a previous work, and do not accord with the official counting of the Vatican. Our current pontiff, Pope Benedict XVI is the 265th Pope. I am unable to explain this discrepancy.


Note: The commentaries below are only brief and selective. A commentary on every motto is given in Peter Bander's book: The Prophecies of St Malachy.

(1655-1667) 83 Montium custos 240 Clement IX (1667-1669) 84 Sydus Olorum (constellation of swans) Hist.: upon his election, he was apparently the occupant of the Chamber of Swans in the Vatican. 241

to his election he was member of an order founded by Saint Romuald, at Balneo, in Etruria, present day Toscany. 257 Pius IX (1846-1878) 101 Crux de cruce (Cross of Crosses) Hist.:Pius XI was the last Pope to reign over the Papal States (the middle third of what is today Italy). He ended up being a prisoner of the Vatican, never venturing outside Vatican City. A much heavier burden than his predecessors. 258 Leo XIII (1878-1903) 102 Lumen in c�lo(Light in the Heavens) Hist.: Leo XIII wrote encyclicals on Catholic social teaching that were still being digested 100 years later. He added considerably to theology. 259 St. Pius X (1903-1914) 103 Ignis ardens (ardent fire) Hist.: The Pope had great personal piety and achieved a number of important reforms in the devotional and liturgical life of priests and laypeople. 260 Benedict XV (1914-1922) 104 Religio depopulata (Religion laid waste) Hist.: This Pope reigned during the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia which store the establishment of Communism. 261 Pius XI (1922-1939) 105 Fides intrepida (Intrepid faith) Hist.: This Pope stood up to Fascist and Communist forces lining up against him in the lead up to World War II. 262 Pius XII (1939-1958) 106 Pastor angelicus (Angelic Shepherd) Hist.: This Pope was very mystical, and is believed to have received visions. People would kneel when they received telephone calls from him. His encyclicals add enormously to the understanding of Catholic beliefs (even if they are now overlooked because of focus on the Second Vatican Council, which occurred so soon after his reign). 263 John XXIII (1958-1963) 107 Pastor et Nauta (pastor and marine) Hist.: prior to his election he was patriarch of Venice, a marine city, home of the gondolas 264 Paul VI (1963-1978) 108 Flos florum (flower of flowers) Hist.: his arms displayed three lilies. 265 John Paul I (1978) 109 De medietate Lun� (of the half of the moon) Hist.: Albino Luciani, born in Canale d'Agardo, diocese of Belluno, (beautiful moon) Elected pope on August 26, his reign lasted about a month, from half a moon to the next half... 266 John Paul II (1978-2005) 110 De labore Solis (of the eclipse of the sun, or from the labour of the sun) Hist.: Karol Wojtyla was born on May 18, 1920 during a solar eclipse. He also comes from behind the former Iron Curtain (the East, where the Sun rises). He might also be seen to be the fruit of the intercession of the Woman Clothed with the Sun labouring in Revelation 12 (because of his devotion to the Virgin Mary). His Funeral occurred on 8 April, 2005 when there was a solar eclipse visible in the Americas. 267 Benedict XVI (2005-) 111 Gloria oliv� The Benedictine order traditionally said this Pope would come from their order, since a branch of the Benedictine order is called the Olivetans. St Benedict is said to have prophesied that before the end of the world, a member of his order would be Pope and would triumphantly lead the Church in its fight against evil. While the Holy Father chose the name "Benedict", this does not seem enough to fulfil the prophecy. Nor is it clear how Benedict XVI (a Bavarian) is "Glory of the Olives". Since he is said to have remarked in the Conclave after saying he would take the name Benedict that it was partly to honour Benedict XV, a pope of peace and reconciliation, perhaps Benedict XVI will be a peacemaker in the Church or in the World, and thus carry the olive branch. In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis civitas septicollis diruetur, & Judex trem�dus judicabit populum suum. Finis. (In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations, at the term of which the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the formidable Judge will judge his people. The End.) >

DAILY OFFERING PRAYER - O Jesus, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world.

I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.


Meditations by Padre Pio - Padre Pio's Prayer After Holy Communion


Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life and without You I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light and without You I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much and always be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, as poor as my soul is I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of Love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close and life passes, death, judgment and eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!
Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dangers, I need You. Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.
Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by Communion, at least by grace and love.
Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love,Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more. With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen.

"I call you to come to Me now"


Wednesday, August 27, 2008


Dear Friends,


"There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test Jesus and said, 'Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?' Jesus said to him, 'What is written in the law? How do you read it?'


He said in reply, 'You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.' He replied to him, 'You have answered correctly; do this and you shall live." Luke 10: 25 - 28


We had a cool morning yesterday with plenty of clouds but the sun came out in the afternoon and it was warm. Today we will have a beautiful sunny day with the temperature past 20 degrees Celsius.


Yesterday I had an hour of adoration at our church between 11:00 a.m. and noon. In the afternoon I took our visitor to North Cape to see the many windmills there and we walked along the path near the sea.


Then we went to Tignish Shore to walk along the beautiful beach where some people were sitting and hundreds of birds were grouped together here and there. I celebrated Holy Mass in the evening at 7:00 p.m. in the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island, and I will celebrate Holy Mass at the little shrine this morning at 9:30 a.m.


Our Lord gave a message to Joseph and these are the words Jesus gave him, "Many people ask themselves this question, 'What is the purpose of life? Why are we here in this world with all the suffering, so many people are starving and there are so many sicknesses?'


Those who believe in God will ask like this scholar of the law, 'What must I do to inherit eternal life?' Eternal life here means to be with God in heaven where you will live forever.


Heaven is life after death where there is no longer any suffering or death or starvation and all are filled with joy and happiness being with God and seeing Him forever. There you will never be tired and indeed you will be blessed.


You were born in this world to live in union with God so that after the test you would enjoy the glory of heaven for eternity. In order to reach heaven, you need to love the Lord, Your God. He must be first in your life every day and you must love your neighbor as yourself.


I came into the world to teach you what God expects of you. I called you all to believe in Me with all your heart for I am the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. I came with one purpose to help you get to heaven. Without My help you cannot achieve the purpose for which you were born.


Throw away all your hesitations, your pride, your fears and the thought concerning what others will think of you, and come and follow Me. Make this leap of faith and become My follower and I will be there to help you. I am always ready to give you all you need, if you will believe in Me and enter My Church and My Kingdom. Do not delay for it might be too late. I call you to come to Me now."


Father Melvin


Fr Doucette - "They did not believe" - Tue, Aug 26, 2008


FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE


"They did not believe"


Tuesday, August 26, 2008


Dear Friends,


Jesus came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds? Is he not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? Are not his sisters all with us?


Where did this man get all this? And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house. And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith. Matthew 13: 54 58


Below is another message received by Joseph from Our Lord. Jesus spoke to him saying, I grew up in Northern Israel in the town of Nazareth. Joseph and My Mother, Mary, had a home there and many people knew Me. I attended the synagogue regularly especially after I was 12 years of age.


After I began My public life I returned at times to My native town and I spoke in the synagogue I attended when I was younger. The people of Nazareth refused to accept Me because I lived there. They believed that I was an imposter showing off with such wisdom and power. They did not believe that I was the Messiah, the Saviour, and that I was the Son of God. I was unable to heal many people because of their unbelief.


Many of those I have chosen to do My work are also rejected by their family and friends. They still see them as one of theirs with whom they went to school and it blocks them to accept that they have the power to do My work.


These are accepted by strangers who can read the signs and accept the message. Because of My rejection in Nazareth, they will understand that I am an example for them. Indeed a prophet is accepted everywhere except in his native place and in his own house. This is a trial, which all have to go through and it brings pain to the one who is treated like this. Without faith it is impossible to do much among these people. Pray that they open their hearts to the people I sent them.

Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 27 - ST. MONICA

 


"We do not sin when we adore Christ in the Eucharist; we do sin when we do not adore Christ in the Eucharist." (St. Augustine)


Mother Teresa - Total surrender consists in giving ourselves completely to God. We must give ourselves fully to God because God has given Himself fully to us. If God owes nothing to us and is ready to impart to us no less than Himself, shall we answer with just a fraction of ourselves?


Meditations by Padre Pio - In order to reach our final goal, we must follow our Divine Leader who usually leads chosen Souls by the path He Himself has trodden and by no other; by the path, I tell you, of self-denial and suffering.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Making truth personal through solitude with God


"Only in solitariness is true spirituality born, when the soul stands naked before its God. In that moment these are the only two realities in the universe. In this discovery is born love of neighbor, for then we love our fellow human beings, not because of what they can do for us, but because we see that they too are real or potential children of God. Though truth is not personal, we make it personal by contemplation. "


We must passionately guard our passions!


"Listening to a political figure give a television report in the nation on a world crisis with somewhat the same passion that he would read off the price of cheese in Switzerland and Burma makes one wonder if there is any fire or enthusiasm left for great causes. Obviously, enthusiasm has something to do with passion.


But that word generally evokes two kinds of extreme and wrong reactions: one view is that passion is something we ought to be ashamed of; the other is that passion is always right, and that if we do not give way to its demands, we hurt our personality. "


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


This deeper knowledge of God gives me full liberty and spiritual freedom, and nothing can disturb my close union with Him, not even the angelic powers. I feel that I am great when I am united to God. What happiness it is to have the consciousness of God in one's heart and to live in close intimacy with Him. (1135)


In the evening, He gave me to understand how fleeting all earthly things are, and [how] everything that appears great disappears like smoke, and does not give the soul freedom, but weariness.


Happy the soul that understands these things and with only one foot touches the earth. My repose is to be united with You; everything else tires me. Oh, how much I feel I am in exile! I see that no one understands my interior life. You alone understand me, You who are hidden in my heart and yet are eternally alive. (1141)


Today, my soul entered into close union with the Lord. He made known to me how I should always abandon myself to His holy will: In one moment, I can give you more than you are able to desire. (1169) Aug 27 - http://www.catholic -forum.com/ e-pistle. html


Quote of the Day - Son, nothing in this world now affords me delight. I do not know what there is now for me to do or why I am still here, all my hopes in this world being now fulfilled. -St. Monica about the conversion of Augustine


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


- AUGUST 27 - ST. MONICA Today the Blessed Mother speaks of faith as the foundation of our lives:


From the very beginning I have been conveying the messages of God to the world. It is a great pity not to believe it. Faith is essential, but one cannot compel a person to believe. Faith is the foundation from which everything else flows (First Years December 31, 1981).


In his letter to the Hebrews, Paul defines faith:


Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible (Heb 11:1-3).


Reflection:


Today we honor one of the great women of faith, St. Monica, the patroness of Christian mothers. Born in 331, she married and had children, one of whom was Augustine. She poured forth many tears and prayers for his conversion, which she witnessed in her lifetime.


He later went on to become a priest, bishop, and one of the church's greatest theologians. It is appropriate that our readings today deal with faith, for this was the foundation of Monica's life and her legacy to her children.


Application:


Faith is a gift. Today, pray in thanksgiving for this most precious of gifts, and ask the Lord to deepen it.


Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 28 - ST. AUGUSTINE


"It seems that, after nineteen centuries of extraordinary glorification, the small Host for which so many cathedrals have sprung up, the small Host that has rested in millions of breasts and that has found a tabernacle and worshippers even in the desert—it seems that the triumphant Host of Lourdes and the Eucharistic Congresses of Chicago and Carthage remains as unknown, as secret as when it appeared for the first time in a room in Jerusalem.


Light is in the world as in the days of St. John the Baptist, and the world does not know it." (Francois Mauriac, Holy Thursday: An Intimate Remembrance)


Mother Teresa - To possess God we must allow Him to possess our souls. How poor we would be if God had not given us the power of giving ourselves to Him; how rich we are now!


Meditations by Padre Pio - Padre Pio's Prayer After Holy Communion


Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life and without You I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light and without You I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much and always be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, as poor as my soul is I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of Love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close and life passes, death, judgment and eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!
Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dangers, I need You. Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.
Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by Communion, at least by grace and love.
Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love,Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more. With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
True passion takes guts and courage
"To revive passion in hearts, one must first understand it. Passion signifies receiving or suffering something or submitting to something. From this, follow two indispensable conditions for passion: knowledge, and some organic or physical change in our sensible nature."


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


August 1937. After Holy Communion, I saw the Lord Jesus in all His majesty, and He said to me, My daughter, during the weeks when you neither saw Me nor felt My presence, I was more profoundly united to you than at times [when you experienced) ecstasy.


And the faithfulness and fragrance of your prayer have reached Me. After these words, my soul became flooded with God's consolation. I did not see Jesus, and there was only one word I could utter and that was: "Jesus." And after pronouncing that Name, my soul was again filled with light and deeper recollection, which lasted uninterruptedly for three days. However, outwardly I could still carry out my usual duties.


My whole being was stirred to its most secret depths. God's greatness does not frighten me, but makes me happy. By giving Him glory, I myself am lifted up. On seeing His happiness, I myself am made happy, because all that is in Him flows back upon me. (1246)

Quote of the Day - He who faithfully prays to God for the necessaries of this life is both mercifully heard, and mercifully not heard. For the physician knows better than the sick man what is good for the disease. -St. Augustine


Today's Tidbit - Late have I loved Thee, O Lord; and behold, Thou wast within and I without, and there I sought Thee. Thou was with me when I was not with Thee. Thou didst call, and cry, and burst my deafness. Thou didst gleam, and glow, and dispel my blindness. Thou didst touch me, and I burned for Thy peace.


For Thyself Thou hast made us, and restless our hearts until in Thee they find their ease. Late have I loved Thee, Thou Beauty ever old and ever new. Thou hast burst my bonds asunder; unto Thee will I offer up an offering of praise. St. Augustine


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY


AUGUST 28 - ST. AUGUSTINE


The following is Our Lady's monthly message for May, 1990:


Dear children, I wish to help you grow in renunciation


and mortification. In this way you will be able to understand the beautiful life of those who especially give themselves to me. Dear children, God blesses you day after day and wishes to change your life. Therefore, pray that you may have the strength to change it (Monthly Message May 25, 1990).


John the Baptist also called the people to change their live by turning from sin:


In those days John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness of Judea, proclaiming, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near"(Mt 3:1-2).


Reflection:


St. Augustine was born in Africa in 354. His young adulthood was a stormy period, including fathering a child out of wedlock. In his twenties he moved to Milan, Italy, where he became a professor of rhetoric, but his personal life continued to be stormy and wayward.


While in Milan, two things happened to him. First, he became increasingly unhappy with his personal life, and second, he became attracted to Christianity. It was in this frame of mind that he sat down one day and began to ponder his life. Suddenly de broke into tears and began to cry out to God: "and you, Lord! How long will you be angry with me? Forever? Why not at this very hour put an end to my life?"Augustine said later:


I was crying out like this when, suddenly, I heard the voice of a child. It seemed to say, "Take and read! Take and read!" I stood up, for now the voice seemed like a command to read the Bible. I got a Bible and opened it, and the first words my eyes fell upon were from the letter of Paul to the Romans.


They read: "Throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; let us conduct ourselves properly as in the day, not in orgies and drunkenness. not in rivalry and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh"(Rom 13:12-14).


When Augustine read this, he stopped. There was not need to go on. He says: "My heart was suddenly flooded with a light that erased all my doubts. And my soul was filled with a deep peace."


Application:


Today, as Our Lady asks, pray for the strength to continue your ongoing conversion

 


Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 27 - ST. MONICA


Message of August 25, 2004


"Dear children! I call you all to conversion of heart. Decide, as in the first days of my coming here, for a complete change of your life. In this way, little children, you will have the strength to kneel and to open your hearts before God.V God will hear your prayers and answer them. Before God, I intercede for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call."


"We do not sin when we adore Christ in the Eucharist; we do sin when we do not adore Christ in the Eucharist." (St. Augustine)

 


Mother Teresa - Total surrender consists in giving ourselves completely to God. We must give ourselves fully to God because God has given Himself fully to us. If God owes nothing to us and is ready to impart to us no less than Himself, shall we answer with just a fraction of ourselves?


Meditations by Padre Pio - In order to reach our final goal, we must follow our Divine Leader who usually leads chosen Souls by the path He Himself has trodden and by no other; by the path, I tell you, of self-denial and suffering.

 


Archbishop Fulton Sheen -


Making truth personal through solitude with God "Only in solitariness is true spirituality born, when the soul stands naked before its God. In that moment these are the only two realities in the universe. In this discovery is born love of neighbor, for then we love our fellow human beings, not because of what they can do for us, but because we see that they too are real or potential children of God. Though truth is not personal, we make it personal by contemplation." We must passionately guard our passions!


"Listening to a political figure give a television report in the nation on a world crisis with somewhat the same passion that he would read off the price of cheese in Switzerland and Burma makes one wonder if there is any fire or enthusiasm left for great causes. Obviously, enthusiasm has something to do with passion.


But that word generally evokes two kinds of extreme and wrong reactions: one view is that passion is something we ought to be ashamed of; the other is that passion is always right, and that if we do not give way to its demands, we hurt our personality."

 


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


This deeper knowledge of God gives me full liberty and spiritual freedom, and nothing can disturb my close union with Him, not even the angelic powers. I feel that I am great when I am united to God. What happiness it is to have the consciousness of God in one's heart and to live in close intimacy with Him. (1135)


In the evening, He gave me to understand how fleeting all earthly things are, and [how] everything that appears great disappears like smoke, and does not give the soul freedom, but weariness.


Happy the soul that understands these things and with only one foot touches the earth. My repose is to be united with You; everything else tires me. Oh, how much I feel I am in exile! I see that no one understands my interior life. You alone understand me, You who are hidden in my heart and yet are eternally alive. (1141)


Today, my soul entered into close union with the Lord. He made known to me how I should always abandon myself to His holy will: In one moment, I can give you more than you are able to desire. (1169)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

 


AUGUST 27 - ST. MONICA


Today the Blessed Mother speaks of faith as the foundation of our lives:


From the very beginning I have been conveying the messages of God to the world. It is a great pity not to believe it. Faith is essential, but one cannot compel a person to believe. Faith is the foundation from which everything else flows (First Years December 31, 1981).


In his letter to the Hebrews, Paul defines faith:


Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible (Heb 11:1-3).


Reflection: Today we honor one of the great women of faith, St. Monica, the patroness of Christian mothers. Born in 331, she married and had children, one of whom was Augustine.


She poured forth many tears and prayers for his conversion, which she witnessed in her lifetime. He later went on to become a priest, bishop, and one of the church's greatest theologians. It is appropriate that our readings today deal with faith, for this was the foundation of Monica's life and her legacy to her children.


Application: Faith is a gift. Today, pray in thanksgiving for this most precious of gifts, and ask the Lord to deepen it.


MOTHER MARYAM’S MEDJUGORGE Message of August 25, 2008

 


"Dear children! Also today I call you to personal conversion. You be those who will convert and, with your life, will witness, love, forgive and bring the joy of the Risen One into this world, where my Son died and where people do not feel a need to seek Him and to discover Him in their lives.


You adore Him, and may your hope be hope to those hearts who do not have Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call."


Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 25 - ST. JOSEPH CALASANCTIUS


"Love the Immaculate with all your heart, fly often to Her by means of ejaculations, or simply with the thought of Her, and She will teach you how to return to Jesus a love without measure for the love which He showed on the Cross and in the most Blessed Sacrament of the altar." (St. Maximilian Kolbe)


Mother Teresa - There is no limit to God's love. It is without measure and its depth cannot be sounded.v Meditations by Padre Pio - My children, we can never prepare ourselves too much for Communion


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Honesty and innocence are lost too soon in growing out of childhood


"In regards insincerity, children do not have this duplicity because they are natural and it is acquired. If their mother tells them to tell a stranger at the door that she is not at home, they will invariably say, `My mother told me to tell you that she is not at home.'


I know of a mother who, after an introduction to several ladies who had dropped in for tea, asked her child, `Now which one did I say was my best friend?' The child in the presence of all answered, `The one with the big teeth.' It takes some falling away from the childlike simplicity that purchases Heaven, before one develops the film of dishonesty."


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


Today, the Majesty of God enveloped and transpierced my soul to its very depths. The greatness of God is pervading my being and flooding me so that I am completely drowning in His greatness. I am dissolving and disappearing entirely in Him as in my life-source, as in perfect life. (983)


My Lord and my God, You know that it is You alone whom my soul has come to love. My soul is entirely drowned in You, O Lord. Even if I did not accomplish any of the things that You have made known to me, O Lord, I would be completely at peace because I would have done what I could. (989)


This evening, when I heard the hymn, "Good night, Holy Head of my Jesus," on the radio, my spirit was suddenly swept away to God's mysterious bosom, and I knew in what the greatness of a soul consists and what matters to God: love, love, and once again, love.


And I understood how all that exists is saturated with God, and such a love of God inundated my soul that I am at a loss to describe it. Happy the soul that knows how to love unreservedly, for in this lies its greatness. (997)


Aug 25


Quote of the Day - In order to avoid discord, never contradict anyone except in case of sin or some danger to a neighbor; and when necessary to contradict others, do it with tact and not with temper. -St. Louis IX


Today's Tidbit - The Piarists were formed in 1597 and are still dedicated to offering free education to the poor, especially children. The order has more than 1400 members and operate schools and colleges throughout Europe


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. AUGUST 25 - ST. JOSEPH CALASANCTIUS


We are called to evangelize through the Madonna's words and miracles at Medjugorje:


I am anxious for people to know what is happening in Medjugorje. Speak about it so that everyone will be converted (Special Message 1985).


And in Matthew's gospel, the risen Christ also gives his disciples a special charge:


Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you (Mt. 28:19-20).


Reflection:


St .John Calasanctius took this commission of Christ to heart in his evangelization and teaching of the young.


Born in 1557, he was ordained a priest and later dedicated himself to caring for poor children, founding a religious order pledged to that work. "This ministry," he once wrote, "is directed to the well-being of body and soul. At the same time that it shapes behavior, it also fosters devotion and Christian doctrine."


Application:


Deeply devoted to the Blessed Virgin, St. Joseph Calasanctius wrote this Trinitarian Prayer of Praise to Mary. Let us offer it now for all children that live in poverty:


Let us offer praise and thanksgiving to the Most Holy


Trinity who has shown us the Virgin Mary,


Clothed with the sun, the moon beneath her feet, and on her head a mystic crown of 12 stars.


Let us praise and thank the divine Father who elected her for His daughters. Our Father.v Praised be the divine Father who predestined her to be the Mother of his divine Son. Hail Mary.


Praised be the divine Father who preserved her from all stain in her conception. Hail Mary.


Praised be the divine Father who adorned her at her birth with his most beautiful gifts. Hail Mary.


Praised be the divine Father who gave her St. Joseph to be her companion and chaste spouse. Hail Mary. Glory be..


Let us praise and thank the divine Son who chose her for his Mother.


Our Father.


Praised be the divine Son who became incarnate in her bosom and there abode for 9 months. Hail Mary.


Praised be the divine Son who was born of her and was nourished by her. Hail Mary.. Praised be the divine Son who in his childhood was taught by her.


Hail Mary.


Praised be the divine Son who revealed to her the mystery of the redemption of the world. Hail Mary. Glory be.


Let us praise and thank the Holy Spirit who took her for his spouse.


Our Father.


Praised to the Holy Spirit who took her for his spouse. Our Father.


Praised to the Holy Spirit who revealed first to her his name of Holy Spirit. Hail Mary.


Praised to the Holy Spirit by whose miracle she was at once Virgin and Mother. Hail Mary.


Praised to the Holy Spirit by whose power she was the living temple of the ever blessed Trinity. Hail Mary.


Praised to the Holy Spirit by whom she was exalted in heaven above every living creature. Hail Mary. Glory Be.


Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 26 - FASTING WITH THE HEART


Message of August 25, 2007 "Dear children! Also today I call you to conversion. May your life, little children, be a reflection of God's goodness and not of hatred and unfaithfulness. Pray, little children, that prayer may become life for you. In this way, in your life you will discover the peace and joy which God gives to those who have an open heart to His love.


And you who are far from Gods mercy, convert so that God may not become deaf to your prayers and that it may not be too late for you. Therefore, in this time of grace, convert and put God in the first place in your life. Thank you for having responded to my call."


"For on that day when her death was so close, she was not concerned that her body should be sumptuously wrapped or embalmed with spices, nor with any thought of choosing a monument or even for burial in her own country.


Of such things she gave us no command, but only desired to be remembered at Thy altar, which she had served without ever missing so much as a day, on which she knew that the Holy Victim was offered, by whom the handwriting is blotted out of the decree that was contrary to us, by which offering too the enemy was overcome who, reckoning our sins and seeking what may be laid to our charge, found nothing in Him, in Whom we are conquerors.


Who shall restore to Him His innocent blood? Who shall give Him back the price by which He purchased us and so take us from Him? To this sacrament of our redemption Thy handmaid had bound her soul by the bond of faith." (St. Augustine, writing of his mother St. Monica)


Mother Teresa - I for God and God for me. I live for God and give up my own self, and in this way God lives for me.


Meditations by Padre Pio - If you succeed in over coming temptations it has the effect of soap on dirty linen (AdFA, 158).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The less said the better sometimes!


"There are moments when it is very difficult to express one's views, for example, when a husband is asked how he likes his wife's new hat, or how he likes her new Italian haircut - which to him resembles unstrung spaghetti.


Women, when faced with something they do not like, generally go into ecstasies of praise in order to cover up their real mind. Men generally descend to monosyllables or a long grunt.


When a man gets mad at his wife at cards he generally calls her `dear' but with such a coolness as to make her think she is a `Frigidear'. Tact, in such difficult moments, does not mean lying, nor smoothness at the expense of truth, but it does mean circumspection."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - At eleven o'clock Jesus said to me, My host, you are refreshment for My tormented Heart. I thought, after these words, that my heart would burn up. And He brought me into such close intimacy with Himself that my heart was espoused to His Heart in a loving union, and I could feel the faintest stir of His Heart and He, of mine.


The fire of my created love was joined to the ardor of His eternal love. This one grace surpasses all others in its immensity. His Trinitarian Being enveloped me entirely, and I am totally immersed in Him.


My littleness is, as it were, wrestling with this Immortal Mighty One. I am immersed in incomprehensible love and incomprehensible torture because of His Passion. All that concerns His Being is imparted to me also. (1056)


Up to now, Jesus has been bringing me to know about, and to have a presentiment of, this grace, but today He granted it to me. I would not even dare to dream about it.


My heart is in ceaseless ecstasy, as it were, although outwardly nothing disturbs my contacts with my neighbor or my attending to various matters. Nothing is capable of interrupting my ecstasy, nor can anyone suspect it, because I have asked God to protect me from detection by people.


And, together with this grace, there entered my soul a whole ocean of light, enabling me to understand God and myself. Amazement overwhelms me entirely and leads me as if into a new ecstasy [aroused by the fact] that God has deigned to descend to me, who am so little. (1057)


Aug 26 - http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html


Quote of the Day - Remember that the Christian life is one of action; not of speech and daydreams. Let there be few words and many deeds, and let them be done will. -St. Vincent Pallotti


Today's Tidbit - Icons are Byzantine-style paintings or representation of Christ, the Blessed Mother and other saints. Icons are a dominant religious artistic form in Eastern Churches. Icons often take the places of statutes when they are used.


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.


- AUGUST 26 - FASTING WITH THE HEART


Today Our Lady speaks of fasting "with the heart":


Dear children, today I call you to begin fasting with the heart. There are many people who fast only because everyone else is fasting. It has become an empty practice. And so I ask the parish to fast out of gratitude to God for allowing me to remain so long with you. Dear children, fast and pray with the heart (Weekly Message September 20, 1984).


In Luke's gospel, Jesus fasts in the wilderness:


Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the Devil. He ate nothing at all during those days, and when they were over, he was famished (Lk 4:1-2).


Reflection:


At times, Our Lady of Medjugorje speaks of "fasting with the heart," a term meaning, first of all, accepting the invitation to fast with confidence in God, who will bring forth beautiful fruits from our efforts.


Second, it means to anticipate and welcome the spiritual dynamic that will begin to reshape our lives; this includes a deeper sense of repentance, a joyous realization of God's forgiveness, and a growing love, faith and hope.


Fasting with the heart also means experiencing a new freedom from material things, for we will begin to see the essential in life and not be mired in the superfluous. It means growing in a profound love for God and neighbor, a deepening joy in Christ, and new eyes to see as the Lord sees. Ultimately, to fast with the heart is a gift of grace, not a penance, from the heavenly Father.


Application: Can you identify any changes that have happened to you since you began fasting? What changes would you like to see?

 

 

 

DAILY OFFERING PRAYER - O Jesus, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, and the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.

Meditations by Padre Pio - In order to reach our final goal, we must follow our Divine Leader who usually leads chosen Souls by the path He Himself has trodden and by no other; by the path, I tell you, of self-denial and suffering.

 


Archbishop Fulton Sheen -


Making truth personal through solitude with God "Only in solitariness is true spirituality born, when the soul stands naked before its God. In that moment these are the only two realities in the universe. In this discovery is born love of neighbor, for then we love our fellow human beings, not because of what they can do for us, but because we see that they too are real or potential children of God. Though truth is not personal, we make it personal by contemplation." We must passionately guard our passions!


"Listening to a political figure give a television report in the nation on a world crisis with somewhat the same passion that he would read off the price of cheese in Switzerland and Burma makes one wonder if there is any fire or enthusiasm left for great causes. Obviously, enthusiasm has something to do with passion.


But that word generally evokes two kinds of extreme and wrong reactions: one view is that passion is something we ought to be ashamed of; the other is that passion is always right, and that if we do not give way to its demands, we hurt our personality."

 


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


This deeper knowledge of God gives me full liberty and spiritual freedom, and nothing can disturb my close union with Him, not even the angelic powers. I feel that I am great when I am united to God. What happiness it is to have the consciousness of God in one's heart and to live in close intimacy with Him. (1135)


In the evening, He gave me to understand how fleeting all earthly things are, and [how] everything that appears great disappears like smoke, and does not give the soul freedom, but weariness.


Happy the soul that understands these things and with only one foot touches the earth. My repose is to be united with You; everything else tires me. Oh, how much I feel I am in exile! I see that no one understands my interior life. You alone understand me, You who are hidden in my heart and yet are eternally alive. (1141)


Today, my soul entered into close union with the Lord. He made known to me how I should always abandon myself to His holy will: In one moment, I can give you more than you are able to desire. (1169)


Aug 27 - http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html Quote of the Day - Son, nothing in this world now affords me delight. I do not know what there is now for me to do or why I am still here, all my hopes in this world being now fulfilled. -St. Monica about the conversion of Augustine


Today's Tidbit - On Sundays and certain feasts throughout the year pastors are required to offer the Mass for the faithful entrusted to their care. This Is often called Mass for the people or "Pro Populo."

AUGUST 27 - ST. MONICA


Today the Blessed Mother speaks of faith as the foundation of our lives:


From the very beginning I have been conveying the messages of God to the world. It is a great pity not to believe it. Faith is essential, but one cannot compel a person to believe. Faith is the foundation from which everything else flows (First Years December 31, 1981).


In his letter to the Hebrews, Paul defines faith:


Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible (Heb 11:1-3).


Reflection: Today we honor one of the great women of faith, St. Monica, the patroness of Christian mothers. Born in 331, she married and had children, one of whom was Augustine.


She poured forth many tears and prayers for his conversion, which she witnessed in her lifetime. He later went on to become a priest, bishop, and one of the church's greatest theologians. It is appropriate that our readings today deal with faith, for this was the foundation of Monica's life and her legacy to her children.


Application: Faith is a gift. Today, pray in thanksgiving for this most precious of gifts, and ask the Lord to deepen it.


MOTHER MARYAM’S MEDJUGORGE Message of August 25, 2008

 


"Dear children! Also today I call you to personal conversion. You be those who will convert and, with your life, will witness, love, forgive and bring the joy of the Risen One into this world, where my Son died and where people do not feel a need to seek Him and to discover Him in their lives.


You adore Him, and may your hope be hope to those hearts who do not have Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call."


Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 25 - ST. JOSEPH CALASANCTIUS


"Love the Immaculate with all your heart, fly often to Her by means of ejaculations, or simply with the thought of Her, and She will teach you how to return to Jesus a love without measure for the love which He showed on the Cross and in the most Blessed Sacrament of the altar." (St. Maximilian Kolbe)


Mother Teresa - There is no limit to God's love. It is without measure and its depth cannot be sounded.v Meditations by Padre Pio - My children, we can never prepare ourselves too much for Communion


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Honesty and innocence are lost too soon in growing out of childhood


"In regards insincerity, children do not have this duplicity because they are natural and it is acquired. If their mother tells them to tell a stranger at the door that she is not at home, they will invariably say, `My mother told me to tell you that she is not at home.'


I know of a mother who, after an introduction to several ladies who had dropped in for tea, asked her child, `Now which one did I say was my best friend?' The child in the presence of all answered, `The one with the big teeth.' It takes some falling away from the childlike simplicity that purchases Heaven, before one develops the film of dishonesty."


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


Today, the Majesty of God enveloped and transpierced my soul to its very depths. The greatness of God is pervading my being and flooding me so that I am completely drowning in His greatness. I am dissolving and disappearing entirely in Him as in my life-source, as in perfect life. (983)


My Lord and my God, You know that it is You alone whom my soul has come to love. My soul is entirely drowned in You, O Lord. Even if I did not accomplish any of the things that You have made known to me, O Lord, I would be completely at peace because I would have done what I could. (989)


This evening, when I heard the hymn, "Good night, Holy Head of my Jesus," on the radio, my spirit was suddenly swept away to God's mysterious bosom, and I knew in what the greatness of a soul consists and what matters to God: love, love, and once again, love.


And I understood how all that exists is saturated with God, and such a love of God inundated my soul that I am at a loss to describe it. Happy the soul that knows how to love unreservedly, for in this lies its greatness. (997)


Aug 25


Quote of the Day - In order to avoid discord, never contradict anyone except in case of sin or some danger to a neighbor; and when necessary to contradict others, do it with tact and not with temper. -St. Louis IX


Today's Tidbit - The Piarists were formed in 1597 and are still dedicated to offering free education to the poor, especially children. The order has more than 1400 members and operate schools and colleges throughout Europe


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. AUGUST 25 - ST. JOSEPH CALASANCTIUS


We are called to evangelize through the Madonna's words and miracles at Medjugorje:


I am anxious for people to know what is happening in Medjugorje. Speak about it so that everyone will be converted (Special Message 1985).


And in Matthew's gospel, the risen Christ also gives his disciples a special charge:


Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you (Mt. 28:19-20).


Reflection:


St .John Calasanctius took this commission of Christ to heart in his evangelization and teaching of the young.


Born in 1557, he was ordained a priest and later dedicated himself to caring for poor children, founding a religious order pledged to that work. "This ministry," he once wrote, "is directed to the well-being of body and soul. At the same time that it shapes behavior, it also fosters devotion and Christian doctrine."


Application:


Deeply devoted to the Blessed Virgin, St. Joseph Calasanctius wrote this Trinitarian Prayer of Praise to Mary. Let us offer it now for all children that live in poverty:


Let us offer praise and thanksgiving to the Most Holy


Trinity who has shown us the Virgin Mary,


Clothed with the sun, the moon beneath her feet, and on her head a mystic crown of 12 stars.


Let us praise and thank the divine Father who elected her for His daughters. Our Father.v Praised be the divine Father who predestined her to be the Mother of his divine Son. Hail Mary.


Praised be the divine Father who preserved her from all stain in her conception. Hail Mary.


Praised be the divine Father who adorned her at her birth with his most beautiful gifts. Hail Mary.


Praised be the divine Father who gave her St. Joseph to be her companion and chaste spouse. Hail Mary. Glory be..


Let us praise and thank the divine Son who chose her for his Mother.


Our Father.


Praised be the divine Son who became incarnate in her bosom and there abode for 9 months. Hail Mary.


Praised be the divine Son who was born of her and was nourished by her. Hail Mary.. Praised be the divine Son who in his childhood was taught by her.


Hail Mary.


Praised be the divine Son who revealed to her the mystery of the redemption of the world. Hail Mary. Glory be.


Let us praise and thank the Holy Spirit who took her for his spouse.


Our Father.


Praised to the Holy Spirit who took her for his spouse. Our Father.


Praised to the Holy Spirit who revealed first to her his name of Holy Spirit. Hail Mary.


Praised to the Holy Spirit by whose miracle she was at once Virgin and Mother. Hail Mary.


Praised to the Holy Spirit by whose power she was the living temple of the ever blessed Trinity. Hail Mary.


Praised to the Holy Spirit by whom she was exalted in heaven above every living creature. Hail Mary. Glory Be.


Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 26 - FASTING WITH THE HEART


Message of August 25, 2007 "Dear children! Also today I call you to conversion. May your life, little children, be a reflection of God's goodness and not of hatred and unfaithfulness. Pray, little children, that prayer may become life for you. In this way, in your life you will discover the peace and joy which God gives to those who have an open heart to His love.


And you who are far from Gods mercy, convert so that God may not become deaf to your prayers and that it may not be too late for you. Therefore, in this time of grace, convert and put God in the first place in your life. Thank you for having responded to my call."


"For on that day when her death was so close, she was not concerned that her body should be sumptuously wrapped or embalmed with spices, nor with any thought of choosing a monument or even for burial in her own country.


Of such things she gave us no command, but only desired to be remembered at Thy altar, which she had served without ever missing so much as a day, on which she knew that the Holy Victim was offered, by whom the handwriting is blotted out of the decree that was contrary to us, by which offering too the enemy was overcome who, reckoning our sins and seeking what may be laid to our charge, found nothing in Him, in Whom we are conquerors.


Who shall restore to Him His innocent blood? Who shall give Him back the price by which He purchased us and so take us from Him? To this sacrament of our redemption Thy handmaid had bound her soul by the bond of faith." (St. Augustine, writing of his mother St. Monica)


Mother Teresa - I for God and God for me. I live for God and give up my own self, and in this way God lives for me.


Meditations by Padre Pio - If you succeed in over coming temptations it has the effect of soap on dirty linen (AdFA, 158).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The less said the better sometimes!


"There are moments when it is very difficult to express one's views, for example, when a husband is asked how he likes his wife's new hat, or how he likes her new Italian haircut - which to him resembles unstrung spaghetti.


Women, when faced with something they do not like, generally go into ecstasies of praise in order to cover up their real mind. Men generally descend to monosyllables or a long grunt.


When a man gets mad at his wife at cards he generally calls her `dear' but with such a coolness as to make her think she is a `Frigidear'. Tact, in such difficult moments, does not mean lying, nor smoothness at the expense of truth, but it does mean circumspection."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - At eleven o'clock Jesus said to me, My host, you are refreshment for My tormented Heart. I thought, after these words, that my heart would burn up. And He brought me into such close intimacy with Himself that my heart was espoused to His Heart in a loving union, and I could feel the faintest stir of His Heart and He, of mine.


The fire of my created love was joined to the ardor of His eternal love. This one grace surpasses all others in its immensity. His Trinitarian Being enveloped me entirely, and I am totally immersed in Him.


My littleness is, as it were, wrestling with this Immortal Mighty One. I am immersed in incomprehensible love and incomprehensible torture because of His Passion. All that concerns His Being is imparted to me also. (1056)


Up to now, Jesus has been bringing me to know about, and to have a presentiment of, this grace, but today He granted it to me. I would not even dare to dream about it.


My heart is in ceaseless ecstasy, as it were, although outwardly nothing disturbs my contacts with my neighbor or my attending to various matters. Nothing is capable of interrupting my ecstasy, nor can anyone suspect it, because I have asked God to protect me from detection by people.


And, together with this grace, there entered my soul a whole ocean of light, enabling me to understand God and myself. Amazement overwhelms me entirely and leads me as if into a new ecstasy [aroused by the fact] that God has deigned to descend to me, who am so little. (1057)


Aug 26 - http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html


Quote of the Day - Remember that the Christian life is one of action; not of speech and daydreams. Let there be few words and many deeds, and let them be done will. -St. Vincent Pallotti


Today's Tidbit - Icons are Byzantine-style paintings or representation of Christ, the Blessed Mother and other saints. Icons are a dominant religious artistic form in Eastern Churches. Icons often take the places of statutes when they are used.


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.


- AUGUST 26 - FASTING WITH THE HEART


Today Our Lady speaks of fasting "with the heart":


Dear children, today I call you to begin fasting with the heart. There are many people who fast only because everyone else is fasting. It has become an empty practice. And so I ask the parish to fast out of gratitude to God for allowing me to remain so long with you. Dear children, fast and pray with the heart (Weekly Message September 20, 1984).


In Luke's gospel, Jesus fasts in the wilderness:


Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the Devil. He ate nothing at all during those days, and when they were over, he was famished (Lk 4:1-2).


Reflection:


At times, Our Lady of Medjugorje speaks of "fasting with the heart," a term meaning, first of all, accepting the invitation to fast with confidence in God, who will bring forth beautiful fruits from our efforts.


Second, it means to anticipate and welcome the spiritual dynamic that will begin to reshape our lives; this includes a deeper sense of repentance, a joyous realization of God's forgiveness, and a growing love, faith and hope.


Fasting with the heart also means experiencing a new freedom from material things, for we will begin to see the essential in life and not be mired in the superfluous. It means growing in a profound love for God and neighbor, a deepening joy in Christ, and new eyes to see as the Lord sees. Ultimately, to fast with the heart is a gift of grace, not a penance, from the heavenly Father.


Application: Can you identify any changes that have happened to you since you began fasting? What changes would you like to see?

 

 

 

DAILY OFFERING PRAYER - O Jesus, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, and the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.

Message of August 25, 2004


"Dear children! I call you all to conversion of heart. Decide, as in the first days of my coming here, for a complete change of your life. In this way, little children, you will have the strength to kneel and to open your hearts before God.V God will hear your prayers and answer them. Before God, I intercede for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call."


"We do not sin when we adore Christ in the Eucharist; we do sin when we do not adore Christ in the Eucharist." (St. Augustine)

 


Mother Teresa - Total surrender consists in giving ourselves completely to God. We must give ourselves fully to God because God has given Himself fully to us. If God owes nothing to us and is ready to impart to us no less than Himself, shall we answer with just a fraction of ourselves?

I know of a mother who, after an introduction to several ladies who had dropped in for tea, asked her child, `Now which one did I say was my best friend?' The child in the presence of all answered, `The one with the big teeth.' It takes some falling away from the childlike simplicity that purchases Heaven, before one develops the film of dishonesty."


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


Today, the Majesty of God enveloped and transpierced my soul to its very depths. The greatness of God is pervading my being and flooding me so that I am completely drowning in His greatness. I am dissolving and disappearing entirely in Him as in my life-source, as in perfect life. (983)


My Lord and my God, You know that it is You alone whom my soul has come to love. My soul is entirely drowned in You, O Lord. Even if I did not accomplish any of the things that You have made known to me, O Lord, I would be completely at peace because I would have done what I could. (989)


This evening, when I heard the hymn, "Good night, Holy Head of my Jesus," on the radio, my spirit was suddenly swept away to God's mysterious bosom, and I knew in what the greatness of a soul consists and what matters to God: love, love, and once again, love.


And I understood how all that exists is saturated with God, and such a love of God inundated my soul that I am at a loss to describe it. Happy the soul that knows how to love unreservedly, for in this lies its greatness. (997)

Quote of the Day - In order to avoid discord, never contradict anyone except in case of sin or some danger to a neighbor; and when necessary to contradict others, do it with tact and not with temper. -St. Louis IX


Today's Tidbit - The Piarists were formed in 1597 and are still dedicated to offering free education to the poor, especially children. The order has more than 1400 members and operate schools and colleges throughout Europe


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. AUGUST 25 - ST. JOSEPH CALASANCTIUS


We are called to evangelize through the Madonna's words and miracles at Medjugorje:


I am anxious for people to know what is happening in Medjugorje. Speak about it so that everyone will be converted (Special Message 1985).


And in Matthew's gospel, the risen Christ also gives his disciples a special charge:


Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you (Mt. 28:19-20).


Reflection:


St .John Calasanctius took this commission of Christ to heart in his evangelization and teaching of the young.


Born in 1557, he was ordained a priest and later dedicated himself to caring for poor children, founding a religious order pledged to that work. "This ministry," he once wrote, "is directed to the well-being of body and soul. At the same time that it shapes behavior, it also fosters devotion and Christian doctrine."


Application:


Deeply devoted to the Blessed Virgin, St. Joseph Calasanctius wrote this Trinitarian Prayer of Praise to Mary. Let us offer it now for all children that live in poverty:


Let us offer praise and thanksgiving to the Most Holy


Trinity who has shown us the Virgin Mary,


Clothed with the sun, the moon beneath her feet, and on her head a mystic crown of 12 stars.


Let us praise and thank the divine Father who elected her for His daughters. Our Father.v Praised be the divine Father who predestined her to be the Mother of his divine Son. Hail Mary.


Praised be the divine Father who preserved her from all stain in her conception. Hail Mary.


Praised be the divine Father who adorned her at her birth with his most beautiful gifts. Hail Mary.


Praised be the divine Father who gave her St. Joseph to be her companion and chaste spouse. Hail Mary. Glory be..


Let us praise and thank the divine Son who chose her for his Mother.


Our Father.


Praised be the divine Son who became incarnate in her bosom and there abode for 9 months. Hail Mary.


Praised be the divine Son who was born of her and was nourished by her. Hail Mary.. Praised be the divine Son who in his childhood was taught by her.


Hail Mary.


Praised be the divine Son who revealed to her the mystery of the redemption of the world. Hail Mary. Glory be.


Let us praise and thank the Holy Spirit who took her for his spouse.


Our Father.


Praised to the Holy Spirit who took her for his spouse. Our Father.


Praised to the Holy Spirit who revealed first to her his name of Holy Spirit. Hail Mary.


Praised to the Holy Spirit by whose miracle she was at once Virgin and Mother. Hail Mary.


Praised to the Holy Spirit by whose power she was the living temple of the ever blessed Trinity. Hail Mary.


Praised to the Holy Spirit by whom she was exalted in heaven above every living creature. Hail Mary. Glory Be.


Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 26 - FASTING WITH THE HEART


Message of August 25, 2007 "Dear children! Also today I call you to conversion. May your life, little children, be a reflection of God's goodness and not of hatred and unfaithfulness. Pray, little children, that prayer may become life for you. In this way, in your life you will discover the peace and joy which God gives to those who have an open heart to His love.


And you who are far from Gods mercy, convert so that God may not become deaf to your prayers and that it may not be too late for you. Therefore, in this time of grace, convert and put God in the first place in your life. Thank you for having responded to my call."


"For on that day when her death was so close, she was not concerned that her body should be sumptuously wrapped or embalmed with spices, nor with any thought of choosing a monument or even for burial in her own country.


Of such things she gave us no command, but only desired to be remembered at Thy altar, which she had served without ever missing so much as a day, on which she knew that the Holy Victim was offered, by whom the handwriting is blotted out of the decree that was contrary to us, by which offering too the enemy was overcome who, reckoning our sins and seeking what may be laid to our charge, found nothing in Him, in Whom we are conquerors.


Who shall restore to Him His innocent blood? Who shall give Him back the price by which He purchased us and so take us from Him? To this sacrament of our redemption Thy handmaid had bound her soul by the bond of faith." (St. Augustine, writing of his mother St. Monica)


Mother Teresa - I for God and God for me. I live for God and give up my own self, and in this way God lives for me.


Meditations by Padre Pio - If you succeed in over coming temptations it has the effect of soap on dirty linen (AdFA, 158).


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The less said the better sometimes!


"There are moments when it is very difficult to express one's views, for example, when a husband is asked how he likes his wife's new hat, or how he likes her new Italian haircut - which to him resembles unstrung spaghetti.


Women, when faced with something they do not like, generally go into ecstasies of praise in order to cover up their real mind. Men generally descend to monosyllables or a long grunt.


When a man gets mad at his wife at cards he generally calls her `dear' but with such a coolness as to make her think she is a `Frigidear'. Tact, in such difficult moments, does not mean lying, nor smoothness at the expense of truth, but it does mean circumspection."


St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - At eleven o'clock Jesus said to me, My host, you are refreshment for My tormented Heart. I thought, after these words, that my heart would burn up. And He brought me into such close intimacy with Himself that my heart was espoused to His Heart in a loving union, and I could feel the faintest stir of His Heart and He, of mine.


The fire of my created love was joined to the ardor of His eternal love. This one grace surpasses all others in its immensity. His Trinitarian Being enveloped me entirely, and I am totally immersed in Him.


My littleness is, as it were, wrestling with this Immortal Mighty One. I am immersed in incomprehensible love and incomprehensible torture because of His Passion. All that concerns His Being is imparted to me also. (1056)


Up to now, Jesus has been bringing me to know about, and to have a presentiment of, this grace, but today He granted it to me. I would not even dare to dream about it.


My heart is in ceaseless ecstasy, as it were, although outwardly nothing disturbs my contacts with my neighbor or my attending to various matters. Nothing is capable of interrupting my ecstasy, nor can anyone suspect it, because I have asked God to protect me from detection by people.


And, together with this grace, there entered my soul a whole ocean of light, enabling me to understand God and myself. Amazement overwhelms me entirely and leads me as if into a new ecstasy [aroused by the fact] that God has deigned to descend to me, who am so little. (1057)


Aug 26 - http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html


Quote of the Day - Remember that the Christian life is one of action; not of speech and daydreams. Let there be few words and many deeds, and let them be done will. -St. Vincent Pallotti


Today's Tidbit - Icons are Byzantine-style paintings or representation of Christ, the Blessed Mother and other saints. Icons are a dominant religious artistic form in Eastern Churches. Icons often take the places of statutes when they are used.


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.


- AUGUST 26 - FASTING WITH THE HEART


Today Our Lady speaks of fasting "with the heart":


Dear children, today I call you to begin fasting with the heart. There are many people who fast only because everyone else is fasting. It has become an empty practice. And so I ask the parish to fast out of gratitude to God for allowing me to remain so long with you. Dear children, fast and pray with the heart (Weekly Message September 20, 1984).


In Luke's gospel, Jesus fasts in the wilderness:


Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the Devil. He ate nothing at all during those days, and when they were over, he was famished (Lk 4:1-2).


Reflection:


At times, Our Lady of Medjugorje speaks of "fasting with the heart," a term meaning, first of all, accepting the invitation to fast with confidence in God, who will bring forth beautiful fruits from our efforts.


Second, it means to anticipate and welcome the spiritual dynamic that will begin to reshape our lives; this includes a deeper sense of repentance, a joyous realization of God's forgiveness, and a growing love, faith and hope.


Fasting with the heart also means experiencing a new freedom from material things, for we will begin to see the essential in life and not be mired in the superfluous. It means growing in a profound love for God and neighbor, a deepening joy in Christ, and new eyes to see as the Lord sees. Ultimately, to fast with the heart is a gift of grace, not a penance, from the heavenly Father.


Application: Can you identify any changes that have happened to you since you began fasting? What changes would you like to see?

 

 

 

DAILY OFFERING PRAYER - O Jesus, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, and the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.

We Shall Be Invisible to Evil Men!


"About that time Herod the king laid violent hands upon some who belonged to the church. He killed James the brother of John with the sword; and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread.


And when he had seized him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people. So Peter was kept in prison; but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church.


The very night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison; and behold, an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, "Get up quickly." And the chains fell off his hands.


And the angel said to him, "Dress yourself and put on your sandals." And he did so. And he said to him, "Wrap your mantle around you and follow me." And he went out and followed him; he did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.


When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened to them of its own accord, and they went out and passed on through one street; and immediately the angel left him.


And Peter came to himself, and said, "Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting."


When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying. And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, a maid named Rhoda came to answer.


Recognizing Peter's voice, in her joy she did not open the gate but ran in and told that Peter was standing at the gate. They said to her, "You are mad."


But she insisted that it was so. They s said, "It is his angel!" But Peter continued knocking; and when they opened, they saw him and were amazed.


But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, "Tell this to James and to the brethren." Then he departed and went to another place.


Now when day came, there was no small stir among the soldiers over what had become of Peter. And when Herod had sought for him and could not find him, he examined the sentries and ordered that they should be put to death.---" (Cf. Act 12:1-19)


"Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Cf. Mat 19:26)


Yes, all things are possible with God! He promised to protect His Faithful Remnant during the Tribulation in miraculous ways.


As the above mentioned citation from the Acts of the Apostles and the messages of Jesus through John Leary below attest, that includes making us invisible to evil men during the Tribulation.


This reminds one of the failed attempts by the former Soviet Union to bomb St. James Church in Medjugorje.


The Soviets were unable to locate the Church using sophisticated equipment. You will recall also that years ago, a US pilot was shot down over Bosnia, and he survived without being detected.


Later he told the American press that enemy troops walked within a few feet of him while he was poorly hidden in some bushes, and surprisingly he remained undetected. ------ He said that he was praying the rosary at the time.


Jesus we trust in you!


John Leary (1) December 9, 2005:


Jesus said: "My people, during the tribulation My loving faithful will be the target of the evil ones and they will try to kill you. Some of My faithful will be martyred and become instant saints, while the rest will be miraculously protected by My angels at My refuges.


My faithful must be prepared and ready to die for your faith, but you must not take up weapons to kill. My angels will fight for you and make you invisible to those evil ones who want to kill you.


Call on My grace to endure this trial until I will bring victory and renew the earth at My Era of Peace. You have yet to see how evil it will get, but you also have yet to see My power wielded against these evil ones who want to control you.


You must have faith and trust in My power, even when it will seem hopeless. No matter how many stand against you, with Me on your side, you need not have any fear or anxiety. "


January 9, 2008:


At Holy Name after Communion I could see the scene of Jesus walking on the water and then the windy sea subsided. Jesus said: "My people, in this Gospel reading from Mark (Mark 6:45-52) the disciples were astonished to see Me walking on the water.


When I got into the boat, the wind ceased and again they were amazed that I could control the wind and the sea. I had told My apostles that I was God's Son, and they had seen other miracles that I performed.


Yet they did not have the Holy Spirit in them until later, and at this time they did not comprehend that I could perform miracles because I was God's Son.


Even today I am performing miracles of healing for those who have faith that I can heal them. There are still many without faith in Me that cannot believe in miracles, but still they happen.


In the coming days of the tribulation believe in Me that I will perform many miracles to protect My faithful from the evil ones, and I will provide for all of your needs.


Like the apostles that were fearful that I was a ghost on the water, some people of today are fearful of the evil ones who are trying to kill them. Some truly will die as martyrs, but they will be instant saints in heaven.


My faithful should have no fear of these evil ones because My power is greater than theirs, and My angels will protect you by making you invisible. I will multiply your food, fuel, and graces in giving you My Hosts.


When you see My miracles as they will be happening, understand My power as God, and be not unbelieving, but believe in the glory of My power by giving praise and thanks to your God."


January 16, 2008:


Jesus said: "My people, your Homeland Security people have been issuing decrees that all new passports have to have a microchip in them that contains your personal information.


By the Real ID Act passed by your Congress and your President, all of your driver's 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 20, 2008:


God the Eternal Father said: "I AM stands before you. Thank you for following My wishes to have a chapel dedicated in My honor for your God the Father.


You will receive many graces and blessings for listening to My instructions. This vision of a mural of Me on the floor is a testimony to all of the many miraculous images that are appearing on these holy grounds.


You have many prayer meetings here, and all of your prayers will help sustain you here through the tribulation. Call on My angels of protection to shield you from the evil ones so they cannot see you.


Also, I will instruct you in your preparations for water and food to feed you. Give praise and glory to your God because soon you will see many catastrophic events on the earth, for it will change as you know it. "


April 24, 2008:


Jesus said: "My people, this empty chair with Egyptian markings on it represents the chair of power for the Antichrist. He will be going to Egypt to be anointed by the high priest of Satan. He will be put in charge of the European Union and he will have his brief reign before I will bring his power to a close with My Comet of Chastisement.


Do not have any fear of the evil ones, for I will protect you from being persecuted when you are made invisible. Trust in Me and you will soon see My victory once you see the Antichrist taking his seat of power. "


July 31, 2008:


Jesus said: "My people, My little children are precious to Me, and I do not want to see them martyred in the coming cleansing of religious and patriots in the reign of the Antichrist.


I will give the little children under seven years old a special grace from their guardian angel that will make them invisible to the evil ones.


You have been killing many unborn in abortion, and some children by abuse. Those involved in these killings will have to make much reparation for these sins of murder. Pray for a stoppage of abortions and all killings as in wars."


July 19, 2007:

 


Jesus said: "My people, many people, are being led to start building a refuge out in the woods where it will be protected from anyone seeing it. These refuges are being protected by My angels, and are being consecrated to Me and My Blessed Mother.


When you are led by your guardian angels to find these refuges, you will be made invisible to your persecutors. Pray for your protection on your way to your refuges during the tribulation."


August 10, 2007:


Jesus said: "My people, you have no idea of how restricted your life is going to be when martial law will be declared. I have warned you before to get some maps of all the back roads around you so you may be able to use your cars to avoid the main highways.


The vision shows you how the authorities will be setting up barbed wire fences on the main highways as checkpoints to capture those refusing to go along with the one world order. As the control of the roads will gradually tighten, you will eventually be reduced to bikes or walking.


As you are led by your guardian angel to the nearest refuge, pray for My protection so you will be made invisible to those seeking to kill you for your faith.


This will be a desperate hour of persecution that you have not witnessed in America. Have no fear of the evil ones because I will give you My grace to endure this evil time. Some may be martyred, but I will ease your pain.


Others at My refuges will be protected and cared for. This time of evil will be less than three and one-half years, but I will speed up the time. Have faith and patience in My power for soon I will conquer all evil and bring you into My Era of Peace."


June 11, 2008:


Jesus said: "My people, once martial law is declared, the one world people will implement their plans to exterminate all people against their new world order. They already have red lists to kill religious people and patriots before martial law is declared. They also have blue lists for the same kind of people to be killed after martial law is declared.


The boxcars are how they will transport their prisoners to the death camps. At the death camps they will use either poison gas or Guillotines to kill the people, and then dispose of their bodies in a crematorium at high temperatures.


Some of My faithful will be martyred for their faith, but the rest will be protected by My angels at My refuges. You do not want to be at your home when these killers will come to get you.


My angels will warn you at the appropriate time when to leave your home for a refuge. My angels will make you invisible so the evil ones will not be able to harm you. Trust in My power and everything will be provided for you. Have no fear, but trust in My care for you."


August 1, 2008:


Jesus said: "My people, when you are in flight to a refuge, it would be good to have matches for a fire and cooking utensils with some food. Some of the practical things are needed for survival until you reach a refuge or interim refuge. Preparations for a meal with metal plates and cups could be cleansed for reuse.


Think of things that you would need for your necessities and that will help your list of things to bring.


Trust in Me to multiply your food and water and you will have enough to survive this brief reign of the evil ones.


My angels will lead you to safe havens and protect you by making you invisible. Trust in Me by leaving as soon as I give the word, or you could be captured and martyred at the death camps."


August 5, 2008:


Jesus said: "My people, every day you are in a constant battle with the demons between the forces of good and the forces of evil. That is why every day you need to call on My grace and power to defend yourself from the temptations of the devil. You have read in the Scriptures how there will come a time of great tribulation when I will permit the Antichrist to have a brief reign over the earth for less than three and one-half years.


Do not fear this time because My angels of protection will help protect your soul from the evil ones. My power is greater than the demons, and I will be with you at all times.


After the Warning there will be major events in a world famine, a division in My Church, mandatory microchips in the body, and martial law when the Antichrist will be put into power by the one world people. It is at that time that I will call My faithful to My refuges. Call on My help and I will have your guardian angels lead you to the nearest interim refuge and then to a final refuge.


My refuges will be at My Blessed Mother's places of apparition, places of holy ground, or at caves. In the vision you are seeing a car driven into the woods.


If gasoline is still available, and you can drive on the side roads, you will be able to use your cars to drive to your refuges. Otherwise, you will need your bikes or walk to the refuges.


On the way your angels will lead you with a physical sign, and you will be protected by your being made invisible to the evil ones. You will need to leave your houses to avoid capture by the men in black who will be trying to bring you to their death camps.


By having full trust in My protection, you should be at peace at all times without any fear of the evil ones. Trust in My love and protection, even during the time of tribulation."


February 25, 2008:


Jesus said: "My people, you are very comfortable in your homes today, but in the coming days of tribulation, My faithful will need My protection at My refuges from the evil ones who will try to kill you for your faith.


Many will be in confusion in these changing events and the leaders of My faithful will be giving advice and direction how to invoke My protection at the appointed time.


When you see world famine, a division in My Church, mandatory chips in the body, and martial law, know that it is time to prepare to come to My refuges.


My refuges will be at My Blessed Mother's places of apparition, places of holy ground, and even caves. At that time I want you to call on My Name and I will have your guardian angels lead you with a physical sign to the nearest place of refuge. vYou will first be led to interim places of refuge where My faithful will have a temporary place of hiding and any food will be multiplied for those who come.


Even at these interim places, which this place is one, I will send My angels to protect you and you will be invisible to your enemies. Rejoice in My merciful protection, even though some will be martyred.


After a while, you will be led further to your final places of refuge. You will remain at My refuges until I come to vanquish the Antichrist and all of the evil ones into hell. Be patient and trust in My protection and how I will provide for your needs."


April 18, 2008:


Jesus said: "My people, I am giving you an inside picture of what it will be like when prisoners, who refused chips in the body, are sent to the detention center death camps. There is no doubt that the intention of the one world people is to eliminate the religious and patriotic people that they detest.


They will gas their prisoners with toxic gases to kill large numbers at a time. Then they will cremate the bodies in very hot incinerators to get rid of the bodies.


This elimination of those on their hit list is in addition to the large number of people that they will kill with deadly viruses from the chemtrails. Those, who want to be martyrs, can stay in their homes and the men in black will carry you off to the death chambers as in Nazi Germany during World War II.


Those, who want to be protected at My refuges, will call on My Name and I will direct your guardian angel to lead you to the nearest refuge of protection.


Trust in Me and I will make you invisible to your enemies so you can be shielded from them harming you.


Give praise and glory to your Lord as you thank Me for providing you these refuges of protection by My angels. Be patient and you soon will see your reward in My Era of Peace."


May 19, 2008:


Jesus said: "My people, you are seeing in the vision a picture of terrorists that could be hired by your country to stage missile attacks against your civilian airplanes. The scene is on water where they could make their attack at night near an airport on the shore, and then speed away undetected.


This is a real threat against your airlines, and it has prompted some work to put jamming devices on your civilian aircraft. If multiple attacks were carried out simultaneously, many could be killed on the planes and those killed where the plane crashed.


This kind of terror attack could throw your country into dishevel again as 9-11 did before, and it is another means to initiate a martial law emergency.


Be prepared if such a planned event occurs because you may have to leave for your refuges sooner than you were planning to leave.


Do not hesitate once martial law is declared, because the evil ones will come to your houses to try and force their chips in the body on you.


Refuse to take any chips in the body, and call on My assistance and your guardian angel to make you invisible to the evil ones so your life can be spared. Have no fear and trust in My protection."


June 1, 2008:


Jesus said: "My people, this room full of chairs is where you will be holding your home Masses and prayer groups once the division in My Church comes about. Many of these home Mass sites will be secret interim refuges where people will stay on their way to their final refuge.


Time is getting close for going to your refuges, and people are making their last minute preparations for Mass kits and extra food that will be multiplied. Preparing backpacks with your sacramentals and physical needs as clothing and tents are all things that should be ready before you leave.


Do not be fearful of this time because My angels will protect you by making you invisible to those who want to kill you. Pray for strength and courage during the tribulation, but know I am by your side ready to provide for all of your needs."


July 10, 2008:


Jesus said: "My people, many are apprehensive of how they will make it through the tribulation time. I want to reassure My faithful that these events will be in your lifetime. I will also put shields of invisible protection all around you.


This trial will be brief, but your reward in My Era of Peace will be well worth the struggle to remain faithful to Me and avoid any chips in the body. Pray for your spiritual strength and trust in My angel power, and soon you will be sharing in My victory over all of the evil ones."


December 27, 2004:


Jesus said: "My people, this vision of an invisible building, including the people inside, is an example of how miraculously I will protect My faithful at the refuges. I will perform the impossible for your protection so the evil ones will not be able to detect you by sight, by radar, by heat, or smell. I will also provide for your water, bread, and meat.


The healing water will heal all of your sicknesses and you will be protected also from viruses, poisons, or bombs.


Be grateful that I will take care of My faithful, but do not complain of your lack of comforts and possessions because they are being stripped for your spiritual protection.


It is not necessary to go to My refuges until the time when I will warn you to go. I told you the three signs of world famine, division in My Church, and forced chips in the body. The Antichrist will not have his reign until I will allow it.


You are seeing the signs of destruction foretold in My Scriptures of the end times. Trust in Me and call on My help and everything will be provided for you. There will be some that will be martyred for their faith as an example for the rest.


But do not be intimidated by those trying to force the mark of the beast on you. Those, who are not martyrs, will find protection at My refuges. Be patient for a time of testing before I will return to defeat the evil ones and I will renew the earth with My Era of Peace."


November 4, 2005:


Jesus said: "My people, beware of looking at or listening to the Antichrist, or the Beast of Revelation. He will have demonic powers to attract you to his words which are all lies. Many come to stadiums to watch baseball games, football games, or soccer games. The Antichrist will attract the worldly to come and listen to his words of peace.


This is why I want My people to avoid the Antichrist by getting rid of your televisions after the Warning so you do not look at his eyes which could deceive you. After the signs of the world famine, the division in My Church, and the forcing of microchips in the body, I will have My guardian angels lead you to My places of protection at My refuges. There My angels will provide for your food, water, and shelter.


Those, who look upon My luminous cross, will be healed of all viruses and diseases that the Antichrist will try to bring upon you. You will be invisible to the evil ones and protected from all of their weapons.


These messages of warning are not meant to frighten you, but to show you the miraculous power of the hand of God. Just as I protected the Israelites from the Egyptian Army, so I will protect My faithful remnant with a shield of grace that the evil ones will not be able to defy Me.


Instead, I will cast the Antichrist and all the demons and evil ones into the fires of hell where they will be chained for a long time. Trust in My greater power and you will see the earth renewed as I will bring about a New Jerusalem in the new earth and new heavens. Rejoice because as you see the evil ones gain in power, you know that My victory over all evil is near." vApril 23, 2007:


Jesus said: "My people, I am showing you one of the detention death camps that will be used for public executions and gassing for those meant to be killed. The red lights are for those religious and patriots that are captured before martial law starts. The blue lights are for those who will not follow the new world order after martial law is declared. The one world people want to make slaves out of their subjects for financial gain.


They will use fear tactics of performing public executions for those who will not obey their rules of taking chips in the body. These embedded chips in the body will be used to control people's minds as robots. It will be at this time that I will lead My faithful to refuges of protection. My angels will protect you from the evil ones by making you appear invisible.


My angels will do all of the fighting for you with superior spiritual weapons. There will be a battle between the good and the bad at Armageddon at the time of the Antichrist's brief reign.


Trust in Me and you will see My victory over the evil ones. I love you all, but this evil will be used to test your faith during an earthly purgatory."


May 15, 2007:


Jesus said: "My people, as the time to go to My refuges draws close, I am reminding you of all the miracles that I will perform for you at My refuges. This vision of an outline of more floors being added on to an existing dwelling is how I will multiply more dwellings for everyone to have a shelter. The invisible nature of these dwellings is so that the evil ones will not be able to see you or detect you at My refuges.


These added structures are where there is little room to expand. Where there is more land, I will multiply buildings all over the land. Do not have any fear of the evil ones. I will protect your souls with My angels, and your bodies by My angel power which is greater than any power of the demons.


Pray for your deliverance in this brief hour of evil so you are not martyred in the trial of the tribulation. Some will be martyred for their faith, but they will become instant saints."


May 30, 2007:


Jesus said: "My people, these flashing scenes all over represent the rapid pace of events that will lead up to the time of the Antichrist, followed by My victory and the new Era of Peace.


The one world people have all of their plans in place for a martial law takeover with all of their detention centers ready to hold the religious and patriot prisoners that will not go along with the evil ones' new world order. Executive orders are edicts from the Presidents that will become law when a trumped up national emergency will be declared.


These laws will supersede your constitutional rights and freedoms as a new dictatorship will emerge that will bring about a North American Union. These evil leaders will try to force you to take mandatory chips in the body, but My people will leave for their refuges when they see this national emergency declared. vCall on Me and your guardian angels to lead you to the nearest refuge at My Blessed Mother's apparition sites, places of holy ground, or caves in the mountains. You will be invisible at My refuges and I will provide for all of your needs.


Have no fear of these events when the Antichrist will have his hour, for I will protect you with My angels. Do not take any microchips in the body, and do not worship the Antichrist. Even if they take all of your possessions and threaten to kill you, refuse to give up your faith for any reason.


This trial of the tribulation will be very difficult as you will be suffering your purgatory on earth. Have patience before I come and establish My power over the evil ones, and replace this world with a new heavens and a new earth."


July 31, 2007:


Jesus said: "My people, during the coming tribulation, there will be many places of protection to hide from the evil ones. Some refuges will be at My Blessed Mother's places of apparition. Some will be at places of holy ground as at monasteries.


Some will be at these caves, even as you are seeing in the vision. Do not limit what I will do for you in your earthly understanding, because I will be doing impossible things for you. My angels will actually dig out caves for you, even through the rock of the mountains.


They will make ventilation holes for air and light, and you will be provided food and water. Be ready to leave for My refuges at a moment's notice because your hasty leaving may mean whether you are captured or not.


At the refuges and on the way to My refuges the evil ones will not be able to see you, as you will appear invisible to them. Pray for My help at that time and My angels will lead you."


June 19, 2007:


Jesus said: "My people, I love all of you as I rush into your souls at Communion time. This vision in the attic is where many will be hiding during the tribulation as you move from house to house at interim refuges on your way to your final refuge. It is because the evil ones will be trying to kill you, or place chips in your body, that you will be fleeing to My refuges of protection.


When I come to free you and place your captors into hell, this is when the floor of the attic will disappear and you will be able to see all the faithful. At the refuges you will be invisible to the evil ones, but visible to each other. Have no fear of these evil times for My angels will guide you and protect you."


July 11, 2007:


Jesus said: "My people, I have told you before that My faithful will be invisible at My refuges from anyone trying to harm you. This large rock wall is what they will see and it will be impervious to any means of detection such as microwaves, infra-red, or any other human sensors.


Be grateful that My angels will protect you from any physical or evil force. All of your necessities as food, water, clothing, and shelter will be provided for you. You do not need to know how I will protect you, but I will do the impossible to try and save all of your souls.


When you come to My refuges, you will need to put your full trust in My protection. Just as you trust Me in faith for your spiritual life, so you will have to have faith in My help for your physical life as well."


January 17, 2008:


Jesus said: "My people, in the not too distant future the one world people will use their cell towers and satellites to test if every person has a chip on their person. If their readers return a search with No ID found they will single out that person for capture at a detention center.


This is why eventually My people will need to seek out My refuges where My angels will make you invisible to their means of detection. Trust in My power, which is greater than the demons, and I will protect you and provide for your needs."


April 24, 2008:


Jesus said: "My people, as you first are led to your refuges of protection, you will be awed to see this tall angel who will be protecting each refuge. This angel will make you invisible to all of man's means of detection.


The angel will protect you from all of the evil demons and evil people who are trying to kill you. As you look upon the luminous cross or drink from the miraculous healing spring, you will be healed of all diseases and infirmities. Give praise to God for your protection and healing."


May 15, 2008:


Jesus said: "My people, pray for the conversion of poor sinners, especially after the Warning. You will need My angels of protection to fight the battle against the evil ones in the coming tribulation. My angels will make you invisible from the evil ones at My refuges. Call on My help and trust in My protection when you face this battle of evil that you have never seen before."

 


July 31, 2008:


Jesus said: "My people, I have given you many messages about making preparations to leave your house for a safe haven refuge. Those, who leave their homes before martial law is declared, have a better chance of being protected at My refuges. Call on Me at the time that I will tell you, and your guardian angel will lead you with a physical sign to the nearest place of refuge.


They will make you invisible so you would not be captured. Those, who purposely stay in their homes after martial law, are risking the men in black who will come and take you off to the death camps. Follow My directions if you wish to be alive at My refuges." End of messaqes.

Lead a Life of Confident Hope - Fr. Arnoudt


Jesus said: "---Who has ever vainly trusted in Me? Who was ever disappointed in the hope which he placed in My Heart? --- None ever hoped in Me, and was disappointed. Wherefore, My Child, lay aside all fear: lay aside distrust; in life and death give thyself up to My Heart ---" http://groups.yahoo.com/group/era-of-peace/message/180

 


"The graces of My mercy are drawn by means of one vessel only, and that is - trust. The more a soul trusts, the more it will receive. Souls that trust boundlessly are a great comfort to Me, because I pour all the treasures of My graces into them. I rejoice that they ask for much, because it is My desire to give much, very much. On the other hand, I am sad when souls ask for little, when they narrow their hearts." (Jesus to St. Faustina #1578)

THE WONDROUS WORKS OF GOD


My little one, I give My people all the wonders of the world, the morning dew, the chirping birds, the freshness of spring flower blossoms. I desire My people to recognize the beauty and wonders of the earth.


Give thanks to God the Father for His love and His creation. Do not take for granted the beauty and simplicity, yet the greatness of the earth's wonders. Open your ears to hear the beauty of life. Open your eyes to see His creation of life. vOpen your hearts to receive His love and to know His sweetness and His truth. How My Father works in the little small things, the little ones who are dependent on His love.


Have you ever pondered the wondrous works of God? He is so powerful. He desires you to be His glorious people, yet He has no need for you. He has made you little less than a god because of His love for you. You merit nothing at the works of your own hands. Everything is given to you as a gift from Him.


Give praise O' children of Israel to the Father of Mercy whose goodness surpasses all knowledge. Be dependent on Him like little children. He will hold you tight to His loving breast and will protect you against all enemies of hatred.


Come to God the Father. His works are awesome and true. His Name is wonderful. He has crowned Me with glory and honor. God the Father is great. He gives life and brings death. He brings healing to many and He inflicts injury on many. He decrees what is necessary to bring the soul to perfection in His love. All His works are wondrous, a sight for the eyes to behold in adoration. Blessed be God the Father! He has given you Me. He is Light without falsehood. In the truth of His love He confounds the devil and destroys his lie so His people can follow the path to His gates of heaven.


Open your hearts My people. Do not follow the father of falsehood, the father of lies. It only leads to the road of damnation. Follow Truth, Love and Peace, the road to heaven. Your safety and security rests in God alone. I love you My people. Come, open your hearts. Seek the Light of Eternal Truth. God refreshes the weary and rewards good deeds of love. Take delight in God. He awaits your love. Peace.


AD DEUM.

THE IDOLATRY OF SELF My little one, I await the love of My people, but it is conditional. I desire all to come to Me not only during times of need of earthly comfort. So many of My people cannot find the time to rest in My presence of love even for fifteen minutes a day. Their self-interest supercedes the graces which I would like to bestow on them. I desire to care for all My people, and I desire them to come and be with their Friend, their Lover, their Savior. They do not desire to be with Me. They desire instead to nourish their carnal desires over the delights of eternal wisdom, freedom and joy. And so through their free will they limit and obstruct the flow of My grace upon them.


I came to save the sinner, but My people think they have not sinned and do not need God. They have made idols of themselves. Anything which is good within them they display and brag outwardly in self-love. They do not see that all good things come from Me and Me alone, not through their own merit. They consider themselves perfect and in need of no change. Any vice of their flesh is excused. Yet they are impatient with anyone who does not show them respect or honor. They are proud and lack faith. They do not love God and they do not love their countrymen. They thrive on the misfortunes of their enemies.


They are full of pride and self-love. Their lack of faith is due to their negligence in seeking the knowledge of God in truth and in humility. A lack of faith is a lack of conviction about the truth of My sweetness. They do not desire an intimate or personal relationship with Me. They do not desire a deep living faith which surpasses all knowledge.


All their intentions stem from self-interest, comfort, and praise about which they boast deceitfully. What state could be more sinful? Yet they think they are not sinners and do not need salvation. This carelessness will result in their own judgment in due season. If they will not heed My Word and allow My mercy to change their strong hearts to repentant hearts, their own judgment standards will toss them into the abyss of eternal flames which will consume their souls in everlasting agony and misery.


My Way is simple, however difficult many might conjecture it to be. I have said many times that I desire to be your Friend. I desire to give you many blessings and fruits from My kingdom. But fear of the unknown and lack of control make it too risky for My people. They do not trust because of their lack of faith. I would deepen their faith, O' if they would allow Me into their hearts. So they do not believe in the Word. If they do not believe, they cannot love, for I am Love.


Peace cannot exist unless there is love. How, little one, would you have Me respond to My people who continue to live in a most sinful state? If they continue to transgress My obedience imposed on them, they will become My enemies instead of My people. I redeemed My people through My Blood and restored the life of grace, but they are not grateful.


They are obliged to render Me praise and glory. If they continue to deprive Me of glory and continue to claim their glory, the greater will be their offence. For they are not allowing Me to be their God of Mercy.


You restrain Me, little one and all those My beloved ones who seek to love, to serve unconditionally and to appease Me by your tears which bind the punishment of offences through Divine Justice. When you pray for others, My mercy can unfold and the humility of your tears can mitigate the fury of My Father's wrath. Look then to Me for knowledge and truth. Look to Me for fulfillment. I love My people and desire to save their souls which, if left to the hands of mankind alone, will surely die. Pray, little one, for mercy in this world. Tell all My beloved ones to pray for the mercy of God the Father. Peace to you. Peace.


AD DEUM.

PRAYER: The Tool of Intimacy


My dear little one, the grace of My Father is shed from His love for you and in His desire for you to be fulfilled in His love. I want all to come to Me in simplicity, seeking a deeper union with Me through prayer. Prayer elevates the mind, heart and soul into the abyss of truth: truth of self-knowledge, truth in humility, truth in obedience, and truth of knowledge of your Savior.


My Father bestows His blessing of grace for prayer. All I desire from My people is to have an intimate relationship with them. I desire for them to come to Me in solicitude and submissiveness. I desire them to come before Me even in their compunction of sin. I just want My people to spend time with Me, to be with Me, to share with Me all their concerns, joys, sorrows and challenges. I desire to be asked for guidance. I desire to be their closest friend. It is through the grace of prayer from My Father that this is possible.


Prayer is the vessel through which love is purified and perfected. It is the tool of intimacy. Take time to listen to My silence. You will find in focusing on Me and listening to My words of love in silence that the business of your thoughts will be tempered in My love. You will find the joy and depth of knowing love through knowledge of yourself. You will know TRUTH. Through continual prayer you will gain the grace of every virtue.


It is good to exercise mental prayer in addition to vocal prayer. Meditate and ponder the mystery of love. Pondering My love and My life will give rise to joy in the soul. Prayer removes vice, and vice blinds My people. When your heart is dedicated to My love, it is also dedicated to yourself; for My glory is also yours. Love Me with all your heart and you will be inseparable from Me. When I am adored, you too are honored.


Little one, desire what I desire. Give heed to My grace and respond to My inspirations through prayer. I love you and all My people. I desire to give to all the fruits of truth, love and hope. I am your Savior. I desire to help My loved ones; but they desire not My help, for they continue to place restrictions on their lives by distancing themselves from Me and through their lack of prayer. If you struggle with prayer, ask Me for the grace and I shall come to you. Invite Me to be in your life. I love you and desire you to receive abundantly. Peace, little one. Peace.


AD DEUM.

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE


"Remember I love you"


Sunday, August 24, 2008


Dear Friends,


"At a time when you did not know God, you became slaves to things that by nature are not gods; but now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and destitute elemental powers? Do you want to be slaves to them all over again? You are observing days, months, season and years."


Galatians 4: 8 - 10


We had another hot and sunny day yesterday with the temperature close to 30 degrees Celsius. In the evening it became cool and it was just right for sleeping. We should have another hot day today and sunny.


I present you another message of Our Lord, Jesus, given to Joseph. The Lord spoke to him these words, "As Saint Paul wrote in his letters, those who came to believe in Me and followed Me came out of the darkness and paganism and entered My Kingdom, the Kingdom of light. They found the freedom that I gave them but why did some want to go back to the slavery they were in before their conversion?


The same phenomenon is happening today with so many going back to the darkness of the past. Anyone who enters New Age and practices reiki and all the others things taught by New Age is in fact entering the paganism that existed when I was on earth.


These things cannot save you but they destroy your faith in Me with the result that you will be lost. New Age should in fact be called Old Age because it existed in the world even before My coming.


God is not present in New Age because their god is the devil. They use his power to trick many people. They speak about healings through reiki but it is not a true healing because the sickness will come back within weeks and it will be worst than ever.


I am the only one who can make you free. You will no longer be slaves to alcohol, drugs, the devil or any pagan rite. With Me you will become the beloved children of God for whom you were created.


Throw away all your books of New Age, stop all these devilish practices and come home to your God and Saviour. I alone can save you from all this nonsense and bring you with Me one day to the glory of heaven where you are called to live forever. Remember I love you and I invite you to be part of My Church."


Father Melvin


FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE


"Rely on My power to help you"


Saturday, August 23, 2008


Dear Friends,


"You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, 'You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.' But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother 'raqa,' will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, 'You fool,' will be liable to fiery Gehenna." Matthew 5: 21 - 22


I will now give you the message Jesus gave to Joseph. Jesus spoke to Joseph these words, "I often spoke about love when I was on earth. In fact the one commandment I gave you is simply 'Love one another as I have loved you.'


One thing that can destroy love is anger, which can lead to hatred. If you are angry with your brother or sister, you will be judged severely. If you use hateful words against anyone and refuse to repent, you will not be saved.


I cannot live in an angry heart because there is no love there. Anger destroys relationships and makes your brother or sister your enemy. It is so easy for one who is angry to have hatred against another. Because of this anger, there will be no peace in your heart and you will feel restless.


This anger might be deeply rooted because you have not dealt with hurts of the past. There are festering wounds in your heart. Any word from another will cause you to blow up and say many unkind words. You need a healing from Me.


Come to Me, My brother or sister, and offer Me all your wounds from the past. I will take all these painful hurts of the past away and fill you with My peace and love. You need to cultivate patience so that you can keep your anger under control. With the healing of your past wounds, you will feel a relief and joy will fill your heart.


I am the great healer who can heal you in body and spirit. Many come to ask for the healing of their bodies but many need the healing of their spirit. I have the power to take away all this darkness and all this pain you have experienced for years. I will fill you with contentment and peace. These are great gifts I give to My friends. Come, believe in Me and rely on My power to help you." Father Melvin

MEDJUGORGE MESSAGES-2007


Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 24 - THAT THE SPIRIT MAY DESCEND ON YOU


"O my Mother! I never have a Communion but to thee I owe it. The tabernacle, the pyx, the monstrance—the very beauty of the mystery is that it is thy Jesus, and not another, the Body that was formed from thee, and not a new one, which consecration brings." (Fr. Frederick Faber)


"If we really understand the Eucharist,
If we really centre our lives on Jesus' Body and Blood,
If we nourish our lives with the Bread of the Eucharist,
It will be easy for us to see Christ in that hungry one next door,
The one lying in the gutter,
The alcoholic man we shun,
Our husband or our wife, or our restless child.
For in them, we will recognize the distressing disguises of the poor: Jesus in our midst." (Mother Teresa)


Mother Teresa - Today let us recall the love of God for you and for me. His love is so tender. His love is so great, so real, so living that Jesus came just to teach us that-- how to love.


Padre Pio - God can reject everything in a creature conceived in sin and which bears the indelible impression inherited from Adam. But He absolutely cannot reject the sincere desire to love Him. Archbishop Fulton Sheen -


In your face often belies honesty!


"Psychologically, those who manifestly are shams are generally known through three techniques: first they shake hands with you up to the elbow, and they thrust their face against your nose with a smile which seems to say, `See how nice I am,' or they shout out their greetings in tones calculated to make volume substitute for honesty."


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


Then I heard the following words spoken thus: I want you to be My spouse. Fear pierced my soul, but I calmly continued to reflect on what sort of an espousal this could be. However, each time fear would invade my soul, a power from on high would give it peace.


After all, I have taken perpetual vows, and I have taken them of my own completely free will. And so I continued to reflect on what this could mean. I sensed, and came to realize, that this was some special kind of grace. Whenever I think about it, I feel faint for God, but in this swooning, my mind is clear and penetrated with light. When I am united to Him, I faint from an abundance of happiness, but my mind is bright and clear and free from all shadows.


You abase Your majesty to dwell with a poor creature. Thank you, O Lord, for this great grace that makes it possible for me to commune with You. Jesus, Your Name is my delight, I have a presentiment of my Beloved from afar, and my languishing soul rests in His embrace; I don't know how to live without Him. I would rather be with Him in afflictions and suffering than without Him in the greatest heavenly delights. (912)


February 19, 1937. Contact with the dying. They ask me for prayer, and I can pray, as the Lord grants me an extraordinary spirit of prayer. I am constantly united with Him, and I am fully aware that I live for souls in order to bring them to Your mercy, O Lord. In this matter, no sacrifice is too insignificant. (971)

Quote of the Day - Philip found Nathaniel and told him, "We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and also the prophets, Jesus, son of Joseph, from Nazareth." But Nathaniel said to him, "Can anything good come from Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." Jesus saw Nathaniel coming toward him and said of him, "Here is a true Israelite.


There is no duplicity in him." Nathaniel said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered and said to hi, "Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree." Nathaniel answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel." Jn 1:45-


Prayer is the raising of the mind and heart in adoration, thanksgiving, reparation and petition. Prayer, which is always mental because it involves thought and love of God, may be vocal, meditative, private, and personal, social and official. The official prayer of the Church as a worshiping community is called the liturgy.


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.


AUGUST 24 - THAT THE SPIRIT MAY DESCEND ON YOU


Our Lady addresses Jelena's prayer group:


Why have you stopped saying the prayer to the Holy Spirit? Remember that I have asked you to pray always and at all times that the Holy Spirit may descend upon you. Begin again to pray for this (Locution Jelena & Mirijana Jan 2, 1984).


And in John `s gospel, Christ asks us to drink of the Spirit:


On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink.


As the scripture has said, `Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living water. "Now he said this about the Spirit, which believers in him were to receive; for as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified (Jn 7:37-39).


Reflection:


Today the Blessed Mother calls us to "pray always and at all times so that the Holy Spirit may descend upon you. "Yesterday we began a special prayer to the Spirit. Today, taking Our Lady's advice, let us conclude the Prayer of Invocation to the Holy Spirit:


Eternal Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, and through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, send to me your Holy Spirit.


Come, Holy Spirit, and grant me the gift of wisdom.
Come, Holy Spirit, and grant me the gift of understanding.
Come, Holy Spirit, and grant me the gift of counsel.
Come, Holy Spirit, and grant me the gift fortitude.
Come, Holy Spirit, and grant me the gift knowledge.
Come, Holy Spirit, and grant me the gift of piety.
Come, Holy Spirit, and grant me the gift of fear of the Lord.
Pause. Then three Glory Bes.
Holy Spirit, Eternal Love,
Fountain of heavenly light,
Come, inflame our hearts.


Application:


Thank God for the gifts of the Spirit which you have received. Reflect on how you are using these gifts for the sake of others

THE NEW DAWN OF MY LIGHT


My dear little one, the dawn brings on a new day, a new day filled with My love, goodness, tenderness and gentleness. The dawn is the break from the darkness of the night when the light rises and shines through to brighten the pathway of love and the horizon of freshness, hopes and wonders. There is no more fear of the dark and uncertainty of the future. The dawn brings hope for the tomorrow of My love. The dawn enlightens and unfolds My love today.


It is good, and those who persevere await the moment in hope and confidence. They know the night will end and that with time the dawn will emerge and the light will brighten the sky.


I speak these words so that My people will know that perseverance in hope will bring on the new day of goodness. Good will always prevail and love will always be victorious for all who pray, hope and work for tomorrow. Peace in your duties and faithfulness to your responsibilities will ensure victory in My love.


There will always be challenges but none too difficult nor My yoke too heavy to carry. The harvest is many but the laborers are few. Those who are close to the reign of God and the kingdom of Goodness work diligently interiorly and exteriorly, challenging themselves to grow in My love and mercy, and to be Me.


They know the darkness of the night will pass and they hope in perseverance for the dawn of My light. Change takes time. Gentleness is what is needed to meet the challenges of the new dawn. They know it is most necessary to meet all challenges with love and to move ahead valiantly and with courage. They know they will meet failure and vices of their flesh along their journey.


But they also know that love is the sword which slays these failings and that gentleness of self will assuredly make them victorious in My love. And when the new dawn of My light approaches, it will find them waiting with patience, confidence and hope, having persevered through the night.


I will take these My few laborers and give to them My crown of glory; and they shall help all those who are lost on the way, those who started on the path but became distracted from persevering and stranded themselves in the cloud of confusion. They will be found by my laborers and brought back once again to the pathway of love and will be encouraged to continue on in hope, meeting with courage all obstacles and challenges.


With love, gentleness and perseverance they also will rise above them. Look to the dawn which is sure to rise, the dawn of hope for all who persevere and endure. Peace, little one. Peace to all My people.


AD DEUM.

Volume V Lesson #12 In private chapel at home May 31, 1995 MY JOY


My dear little one, it is with joy that I come to you and My people. I find joy in My beloved people because I love them. The wonder of love fills those who take joy in all they do and encounter each day; joy, because the will of God unfolds as they fulfill their responsibilities in simpleness. The will of God is revealed as you work, pray, encounter and interact with all people.


Those who work, focusing on the simpleness of My love, find joy. I find joy in My people when I look upon families, marriages, children, single lay people, religious, and all men and women who fulfill their daily duties consecrated to the will of God.


What joy I have when I see two people as husband and wife consecrated to God in love and simpleness praying together. I find joy in My young ones who do their best in their daily chores, studies, play and prayer. I take joy in My little children, pure of heart and innocent, and in all parents who strive in prayer to live in love and harmony in the family.


I find joy in My children who are obedient to their parents in love. The will of God unfolds in all people as they simply remain open, surrendering to love, utilizing all avenues of love which perfect them in holiness. They are filled with joy and peace because they are dedicated to their daily obligations in the littleness and simpleness of My love.


Oh, how I am filled with joy in My people. I take delight in them when they desire to fulfill the will of God. I take delight in My religious who dedicate their lives to proclaiming My truth of love. My priests and My religious suffer tremendously as they refuse to follow deception but remain loyal to My current Vicar your Pope and My Church, regardless of any pressure to do otherwise.


I find joy in all who are dedicated to My truth at all costs and who are consecrated to My Most Sacred Heart and My Mother's Immaculate Heart. The Two Hearts shall reign in victory and the day will come forth when all the world will know of the triumph of the TWO HEARTS.


I love you, my little child, you who hold the keys for all children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. I love you. I love all My people as I love you. Blessed be God the Father for His unconditional love and kindness which shower graces upon My people. Blessed be His Holy Name.


Find joy in the Father, My beloved ones. He is Love and the Source of Peace. I give you My peace for I give to you all that He has given to Me. Blessings My people in unity and oneness of the Triune God.


AD DEUM.

Vol V Lesson 11 - REJOICE


LESSONS from Our Lord for the World


Volume V Lesson #ll In private chapel at home April 30, 1995


REJOICE


My little one, peace be with you. I your Lord God bring you peace for I am Peace. I do not wish for My people to be distraught but to be filled with joy in the Lamb of God. REJOICE and be filled with joy! I am with you. My mercy is upon you and I shall not abandon you. Be at peace. Live in My love. Receive My joy. I tell you that not one shall be lost for all are accounted for by My Father.


All My chosen little ones belong to Him. Not one will stray away that My Father will not bring back to Him. Be at peace. Live in charity and love for one another. Rejoice, I am your Lord God, your merciful Savior Only you can deny yourself My glory by not allowing Me to be merciful. But all my people have until their last breath to ask for My mercy.


Very few of My people have joy in their Savior. I desire all to come to Me in praise and rejoicing. I do not desire My people to be filled with sorrow or sadness. As I purify and cleanse My people there are emotions and sentiments of self-pity, sadness and sorrow. vBut I do not want My people to be distraught by these sentiments but instead rejoice, be glad and have hope. The pride must be stripped in order that humility can replace it. It takes time to grow in holiness, charity and love because of human weakness, sinfulness and vices of the flesh. My mercy soothes the pain when My truth lances the flesh of its many vices.


Therefore, rejoice in gratitude that you are loved by Me and that you are being purified in order for you to share eternal glory with Me. I love My people beyond their comprehension. Allow your hearts to rest in My love and in My peace, for I am with you. Trust with confidence in My love. Rejoice when you receive ill-treatment for the sake of My Name. vYou belong to Me. What I have so shall you have. As I have suffered so shall you share in My suffering. Where I am in glory so too shall you share in My glory. Be at peace and rejoice in your Savior's MERCY! Peace to you. AD DEUM.

Volume V Lesson #10 In private chapel at home, March 26, 1995


POISONOUS VENOMS OR REFRESHING WATERS?


My dear little one, My children who perform My works of love and mercy are continually judged falsely and are scandalized by others.


This is because the poisonous venoms of resentment, jealousy and pride continue to seep into the wicked who thrive on self-love. They judge My beloved ones falsely and attempt to spoil the good fruits of charity. How impure are the motives of those who scandalize the virtuous servants of Mine! How this human generation has become blind to its own dignity!


Do you not see that those who are chained to the vices of envy, impatience, jealousy, gossip and hatred, are slaves to sin? They no longer are great but have become small, and are no longer rulers but have become slaves to the prince of darkness. That is why the prince of darkness, Satan, was hurled down from the heavens.


His pride and jealousy caused him to boast in self-righteousness and self-love to the point that he would have no glory shared with any human being. He wanted all for himself. From the poison of envy, pride and jealousy grew an incurable hatred which resulted in death.


Those who do not pay heed to My words of love and mercy are deprived of life because they live to sin.


But I increase the virtues of mercy and charity in My children. Their torments only increase their graces. Those who judge falsely however will live in their own torment, for in the end they will falsely judge their own practices.


They will be in misery for they will not allow My mercy to dwell in them. They will judge their sin to be greater than My mercy and will therefore be eternally tormented. Tell My people My words, little one.


It is not My desire that any one person miss the bridge of life and the refreshing waters from which abundant graces flow. I desire all to live in purity and integrity. Know the truth from the deadly effects of sin. To you, My beloved ones, who strive to live in My humility, love and mercy, be not afraid. Your torments will result in your crown of glory which I will share with you.


All you who are scandalized, take "courage" as your staff (walking stick) in hand and valiantly conquer the evil of envy with love and perseverance in truth. I am with you always and My Kingdom is yours. All I have I give to you. I bless you, My beloved people. Peace. AD DEUM.
