DEVOTIONS AND PRAYERS FOR THE LITURGICAL CHURCHES AND ALL OTHER CHRISTIANS WHO SO DESIRE(Including Lutheran, Episcopalian, Anglican, and members in the Mystical Body of Christ –All Christianity combined):

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

Some confusion exists to actually where we were martyred. 24 Feb. 27 April in some Menology, 25 Feb. in others, Roman Martyrology says we were martyred at Diospolis, Kemet, 284 A.D.

Claudianus with Saturinus, Primus, Flavianus, Asterius, Carus, and Satur. We were martyred in Africa, 25 Oct.; Faustinus with Catulinus with Salunus. Martyred in Africa, 23 April. (Probably the same Salunus, martyr in Africa, 24 April)

Claudianus with Victor martyred in Hieropolis. 24 Oct.

Claudius with Stephen. Martyred in Africa, 3 Dec.

Claudius, martyr in Africa, Kemet with Victorinus, 5 April

Clement of Alexandria, I am Titus Flavius Clemens. I lived from 150 A.D. to in or about 230 A.D. In my episcopate (administration of the church), I used Platonian philosophy and Christian theology to exegetically show the meanings of Christ crucified. From around 199 A.D. to about 202 A.D. I was headmaster of the famed Catechetical School of Alexandria.

I was a writer of Protrepticus, Paedagogus, and Stromateis. The latter I did not complete.

I taught that we Christians must find out, know, and then practice a moral Christian life, to reach perfection, and thus God.

I said that knowledge and faith were imperative to find out learn, live, and to understand, and thus follow God’s will.

I, Patermuthius, was a 75 years old, Kemetian hermit. I was originally a robber. My follower and converter, (Copri) and I were arraigned by Julian the Apostate. Torture weakened, we were thrown into the furnace with Alexander, a soldier who had converted. 4th century, 9 July, 17 Dec.

Copres, Presbyter (Elder), Possibly a duplicate name, but a Presbyter (Elder), of the (Africa) Mareotis area in Kemet, 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.

MEDJUGORGE MESSAGES

Message of December 25, 2008

"Dear children! You are running, working, gathering – but without blessing. You are not praying! Today I call you to stop in front of the manger and to meditate on Jesus, Whom I give to you today also, to bless you and to help you to comprehend that, without Him, you have no future. Therefore, little children, surrender your lives into the hands of Jesus, for Him to lead you and protect you from every evil. Thank you for having responded to my call."

December 25, 1986 (Christmas Day)

"Dear children! Today also I give thanks to the Lord for all that He is doing for me, especially for this gift that I am able to be with you also today. Dear children, these are the days in which the Father grants special graces to all who open their hearts. I bless you and I desire that you too, dear children, become alive to the graces and place everything at God's disposal so that He may be glorified through you. My heart carefully follows your progress. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Please keep THE POOR, THE HOMELESS in your prayers and sufferings

"We can actually come and adore Him like the shepherds; we can prostrate ourselves before Him like the Magi; we need no longer regret our not having been present at Bethlehem" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).

"This is the great reality of Christian history: Jesus, the sacred host, the Bread of life, in the midst of his Church. This is that brightest star which enables us to look forward with great confidence to the future kingdom of Christ. And as we bless and adore Jesus in the most holy Eucharist we wish to raise our hearts in trustful prayer to Mary, his sweet Mother, and our Mother too.

"So let us turn to her as our own dear Mother. It is she who bore and presented to the world Jesus, our Redeemer and Saviour . . . . We worship Jesus in the holy Eucharist: God with us! God with us!" (Pope Bl. John XXIII).

"Is not the enraptured gaze of Mary as she contemplated the face of the newborn Christ and cradled Him in her arms that unparalleled model of love which should inspire us every time we receive Eucharistic communion?" (Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 54).

When was the first all night vigil?

Mother Teresa - I think there is something that can make us live joyfully. It is that Jesus is with us and loves us. If each one of us would simply remember that God loves us and is giving us the chance to love others in that love not so much in big things but in the little things of life our countries could become full of God's love.

Meditations by Padre Pio - Live joyfully and courageously, at least in the upper part of the soul, amidst the trials in which the Lord places you. Live joyfully and courageously, I repeat, because the Angel who foretells the birth of our little Savior and Lord, announces singing, and sings announcing that he brings tidings of joy, peace and happiness to men of good-will. So that there is nobody who does not know that in order to receive this Child it is sufficient to be of good-will.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - True Faith is not popular with the ego

"How many people there are in Church on Sunday sitting in the first seat of the pew, who resent anyone asking them to `please move over.' They came to kneel before a cross, but they do not want one standing along side them. How many there are too who sing lustily the hymn.

`Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were an offering far too small.'

And, then, when the collection box is passed, they drop in a nickel. The fact is religion is popular only when it ceases to be truly religious. Religion by its very nature is unpopular - certainly unpopular with the ego"

St. Faustina's diary

December 23, 1936. I am spending this time with the Mother of God and preparing myself for the solemn moment of the coming of the Lord Jesus. The Mother of God is instructing me in the interior life of the soul with Jesus, especially in Holy Communion. It is only in eternity that we shall know the great mystery effected in us by Holy Communion. O most precious moments of my life! (840)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY Dec 25 - CHRISTMAS DAY

On Christmas Day in 1989, Our Lady spoke of being a light for others:

Dear children, here is my Son in my arms! I would like to ask you to be a light for all in the year to come. I would like to call you again to live my messages, the message of peace, conversion, prayer, penance, and faith. Dear children, your Mother does not seek words from you, I ask for deeds. Your Mother will help you and she will give you the strength to persevere. And tonight I would like to tell you: Rejoice! (Visionary Prayer Group Dec 25, 1989).

And from Luke's gospel, the shepherds come to adore the Christ-child:

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us".

So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them.

But Mary treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them (Lk 2:15-20).

Reflection:

Christmas is a season of light, the light of angels among shepherds, the light of a great star beckoning wise men, and in our own day, the multicolored lights of Christmas trees, outdoor decorations, and the bright glow from the windows of homes where families are gathered to celebrate.

Appropriately, today the Blessed Mother calls each of us to be, "a light for all in the year to come". Through living her messages, we have become changed people. The new peace and kindness in our lives attracts others who wish to share in these gifts of grace. In such a way, we have to become beacons of hope and joy drawing others to Christ.

Although our characters differ, and our personalities are unique, it is our many colors that form a harmony as Christmas lights on an evergreen. In the darkness, the glowing of the shinning lights is truly beautiful. Application: As Our Lady calls us to be a light for others by living her messages, let us pray for her special help today in doing just that.

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE "I am at the door knocking"

Tuesday, December 23, 2008

Dear Friends,

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. A man named John was sent from God. He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world." John 1:1-9

Here is the message the Lord sent to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, "It is important that you believe that I come from heaven. I am the Word who was always with the Father and I am the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. The Father created everything in heaven and earth through Me. All life comes through Me and this life is the light that enlightens every one of you. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness will never overcome it. John the Baptist came to testify to Me, the light, so that all might come to believe in Me. John was not the light but he testified to the light. I am the true light that came into the world.

In a few days, My brothers and sisters, you will celebrate My birth among you. I was born in Bethlehem many years ago but this celebration takes place everywhere in the world today. Only a few were present the day I was born but today millions even billions celebrate My birthday. You were not there when I was born because you were not even born. The celebration makes present My birth among you once more. This time I want to be born in your hearts. I want to live very close to you. I will come with My light and fill you with it.

Come, My dear friends, who live in every country of the world to celebrate My birth. Come with joy to receive Me and open the door of your heart. I will come in to live with you forever if you follow Me. I am at the door knocking. I love you."

Father Melvin

Messages to John Leary Dec.3-Dec. 17,2008

Wednesday, December 3, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, you have had some good weather so far, but snow and wind will be coming that could cause damage to your Christmas decorations. I bring the Light into the world, but Satan and his demons are trying their hardest to snuff out My Light of truth with their lies and the darkness of sin.

Be good examples of holiness to your children and grandchildren if you want them to keep their faith. You are not only suffering from natural disasters, but you are also dealing with financial storm clouds, and the threat of terrorist attacks.

The latest killings in India could be another catalyst for future confrontations with Pakistan. That whole region is experiencing constant wars and drug trafficking. It is hard to have the peace of Christmas when certain terrorists are planning more destruction. Pray that peace will prevail over these fighting factions.”

Thursday, December 4, 2008: (St. John of Damascus)

Jesus said: “My people, I am showing you these bales of hay so you could be reminded to put aside some food for the coming famine, just as you put hay aside to feed the animals. The canned foods need to be recycled, but the dried foods will last longer.

Be ready to share your food as it will be multiplied for the faithful who will be led to your door. Just as St. Joseph and My Blessed Mother had to go into hiding from Herod trying to kill Me, so My faithful also need to be ready to leave for hiding in My refuges. The evil one world people will persecute and kill those who worship Me, and My faithful who refuse to take chips in the body.

These evil ones are preparing for a one world government which will be given over to the Antichrist to start the great tribulation. You are living in these end times, and you need to call on My help to defend you against the evil ones who will be trying to kill you.”

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: “My people, there is power in My Real Presence that has healed people both physically and spiritually. During the tribulation My Blessed Sacrament will be even more powerful. You could even survive solely on Holy Communion. I asked you to bring My Host to various refuges to give them comfort in My Presence, and also I will protect you in your travels as My rays of Light will blind anyone seeking to kill you.”

Jesus said: “My people, all of the places, that have adored My Blessed Sacrament, will be places of refuge protection in the end times. My angels are always present around Me, even as you have placed your angel statues around Me.

These angels will protect you from the evil ones. Wherever you have devotion to My Adoration of My Eucharist, you will see a fertile environment for priestly vocations. Pray for more vocations to the priesthood.”

Jesus said: “My people, when people celebrated the first Passover Supper, they ate bitter herbs and unleavened bread as a food of haste. This is a foreshadowing of celebrating My Mass when you take Holy Communion which is also unleavened Bread.

You too will also be ready with food to leave in haste for your refuges when the great tribulation of evil will come upon you. Pray for My protection and thank Me for sending My angels to guard you against the evil ones.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have heard accounts of several stories when people with machetes tried to kill My adorers. In each case there was a miraculous intervention when they declared My Name, Jesus.

Then the persons dropped the weapons and fled. This is the power of My angels that guard My Host. In evil attempts to disturb Adoration of My Hosts, My angels can be invoked to protect you. Give praise and thanks to Me that you have these miracles to believe in My Real Presence.”

Jesus said: “My people, there are a good number of people who have difficulty in believing that I am fully Present in My consecrated Host. At times in history I have allowed such miracles to encourage the faith of My faithful, and to show unbelievers the reality of My very Presence in My Eucharist. Give praise, adoration, and thanks for these miracles that confirm what you have believed from when you were taught.”

Jesus said: “My people, you have experienced seeing Hosts appear on the tongues of some of My holy ones. This is another case when angels have been instrumental in distributing Holy Communion when there was no Mass.

This will occur again for My faithful when you come to My refuges where there is no Mass. In this way you will have your spiritual food every day when it will be multiplied for each of you. I will perform many other miracles at My refuges to supply all of your needs.”

Jesus said: “My people, come to Me, My people, and receive comfort and peace, for My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Those, who come to daily Mass and Adoration of My Blessed Sacrament, are drawn to adore Me and bask in the beauty of My love and My Light. You desire the joy of having your Savior intimately Present in your soul where you can have rest in My Spirit.

This joy and desire to be with Me will not be taken away from you, even when you will be tested by the evil ones in the tribulation. Only in purgatory will My Presence be denied to My faithful, but only for a time because even these souls are promised to be with Me one day in heaven.

Work to avoid committing any mortal sin that could break our relationship. But I have given you My sacrament of Reconciliation so your sins can be forgiven and grace can be restored to your soul. Concentrate more on your prayer life as you prepare during Advent for celebrating My birth at Christmas.”

Friday, December 5, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, I am showing you these waves, but they represent My waves of love that keep falling on all peoples. There are some that respond to My love, but others are even ignoring My callings. I give all souls every opportunity to know and love Me, but it is your free will that must acknowledge Me in seeking forgiveness of your sins, or you cannot be saved.

Christmas time is another time of My reaching out to everyone in peace and love, but still many refuse My love overtures. My faithful give Me praise and Adoration, and they are rewarded with My graces in their souls. I ask you to pray for all the rest of humanity that they may open their hearts to My love.

I do not want to see one soul lost, but all of those going to hell do so by their own free choice. Try to wake up all the souls around you to My love because their opportunity to be saved is slipping away in time. You can help convert souls, so make an effort to invite people to love Me. For every soul that is converted, heaven rejoices joyfully.”

Jesus said: “My people, you are in the middle of a serious recession that is hard to determine how long it will last. Heavy layoff numbers keep coming out every month. The biggest problem is that there is no justice or accountability for your leaders in trying to stop this down turn. The Congress people and stock market managers are the ones who have allowed the bad loan polices and stock shorting.

Yet they are being critical of the banks who made bad loans and the foolish people who took out loans that they could not afford. Billions of taxpayer dollars are being used to shore up bad banks and bad loans, and only a small amount of this money was approved by Congress. Now Congress is trying to make the auto makers accountable for every dollar to be paid back of their loans. Where is the same accountability for all the money received by your banks and insurers?

How much of that money is being loaned out? Bailing out foreclosures for those who cannot afford mortgages is another bad idea. There is little justice in your financial situation because it is run by the one world people in the central bankers, and their plan is to bankrupt your country so they can take it over.

Even though some are talking of a quick turn around, do not be surprised to see a much worse situation than your leaders want you to believe. These evil ones see their opportunity for a takeover, and they will bring it about in their time. Be prepared to go to your refuges when you see mandatory chips in the body and martial law.”

Saturday, December 6, 2008: (St. Nicholas)

Jesus said: “My people, I have told you that the poor you will always have with you. Even more so in hard economic times more people are needing food stamps and going to food shelves for hand outs. Unfortunately, fewer people are giving to charities because of their own needs.

For those, who can afford to give donations to the poor, it should be part of your Christian responsibility to share your wealth with the poor. At your judgment you will have to answer for how much you helped feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and give shelter to the homeless. If you do this for the least of My children, then you will do this for Me in them out of love.

At Christmas time you are always giving gifts to your friends and relatives who will give you back something in return. Find it in your heart to share with the poor when you know that you will not get anything back but a thank you. Also, you can pray for the poor that they will find what they need to survive.”

Sunday, December 7, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, today you are seeing St. John the Baptist heralding My Way in the desert, as in the vision. In the desert, water is unusual to find, but it is the means that St. John used to baptize those who wanted to repent of their sins. Water is necessary for life in the body, and the cleansing grace of Baptism is life for the soul as well. Repenting of sin and changing any sinful lifestyles are what you must accept into your life if you wish to be one of My disciples.

As you move into the second week of Advent, prepare your souls with Confession and contrition for your sins. Be more fervent in your prayers and look for opportunities to help people more. As you look to buy gifts for Christmas, think also to help the poor in their needs. Remember how I was refused at the inn, and open your hearts to help people and greet everyone with Christmas cheer.”

Jesus said: “My people, all of My refuges will be as fortresses like a castle where there will be protection for My faithful by My angels. No matter how much the evil ones will try to destroy you, they will not be successful. My springs of water will heal you of all of your sicknesses. Your food will be multiplied to endure throughout the whole tribulation. Your shelters will also be multiplied to provide for everyone.

Have no fear of this time as you will be directed when to come to My refuges. Only those that stay in their homes could risk becoming martyrs for not coming to My refuges. I will even lessen their pain as they will become instant saints. Rejoice when you see the tribulation unfolding because you know that My coming is near.”

Monday, December 8, 2008: (Immaculate Conception)

December 8, 2008

Mary said: “My dear children, Eve was your first mother and by her sin she has brought the darkness of sin to all of mankind. The consequences of original sin are death, sickness, and the weakness to sin again.

I am the new Eve who was conceived without this original sin, and the Lord helped me to avoid sin in life as well so I could be a worthy tabernacle and Ark of the Covenant, while I carried Him. My own conception was the dawn of a new age and the beginning of a promise of salvation to mankind that would later be fulfilled in the birth and death of my Son, Jesus. I am your spiritual Mother given to you by my Son to St. John the evangelist and the apostle.

As Eve brought you death and darkness, so I have been instrumental in my Son bringing you eternal life and the Light of heaven’s open gates through Jesus’ suffering and death on the cross. Rejoice in my feast day and give thanks and glory to God for my Immaculate Conception, and Jesus’ salvation that He has brought to all of you.”

Jesus said: “My people, this experience in the vision of traveling fast down a dark, narrow alley is another sign of what you will experience in My Warning. The overwhelming Light and water represents how you will be overwhelmed with My peace and love when you all will come before Me individually.

I have asked you in previous messages to attend frequent Confession so your soul will always be in a state of grace for your mini-judgment when you will see where you stand if you were to be judged just then. Before your judgment you will have a life review and understand how you influenced people both for good and bad.

You will understand how your sins and actions offended Me, and how to change your life when you will return to your body. You are seeing earthly events leading up to the Antichrist’s takeover, so you know that the Warning has to occur soon, so I can give every sinner an opportunity to change their sinful lives. My children will be evangelizing sinners at that time and those, who come to My refuges, will find protection from the evil ones. Trust in Me and not your money or earthly possessions, and I will protect you and provide for your needs.”

Tuesday, December 9, 2008: (Patricia Lippa Funeral Mass)

Jesus said: “My people, you are all grieving over the loss of a beautiful and prayerful woman, but at the same time you should rejoice that I have taken her straight to heaven. She has suffered much while she was on earth, and this was her purgatory which she suffered in reparation for her sins.

She was very helpful and encouraging people in their faith. She did love to travel, but more as pilgrimages than just to see things. Her profession as a teacher enabled her to share life to the fullest with all of those whom she met. She loves all of her family and friends, and she will be praying for all of you. She is a great example of prayer and holiness for all who knew her. Give praise and thanks to Me for how her life touched all of those who knew her.”

Jesus said: “My people, many of your people do not realize the gravity of your debts, deficits, stock and bond losses, lost house values, and now many are losing their jobs. Foreclosures are increasing and many do not have enough money to buy beyond their daily necessities. The ‘toxic’ house loans that probably will never be paid off, have tied up your credit markets. Derivatives based on these house loans are so leveraged that there is not enough money from your government to bail this out.

This is the planned bankruptcy of your government which the one world people will use to take over your government and start a whole new currency. The amero will be used for a while until they issue a one world currency that will be controlled by having chips in the body. All of your dollars will become worthless, and the evil ones will try and force chips on you for buying and selling.

When you see martial law or government takeover, and mandatory chips in the body, you will know it is time to call on Me to have your angels lead you to the nearest refuge. You need to trust in My help and protection because your money and possessions are about to be taken away from you. Only through My power and My angels will you be protected from the evil ones.

There will be only a brief reign of the Antichrist until I will return in glory to cleanse all evil from the earth. The earth will be renewed and you will have your reward in My Era of Peace.”

Wednesday, December 10, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, today’s readings are meant to lift your spirits from the problems of your latest recession. Many are sad because of their losses, but you should have joy in your heart when you call on Me for help. When you rely on Me for everything, there should be no worries, but only a desire to do My Will.

Christmas is still a joyful season and you may have to help each other even more with your bare necessities. When hard times come, you will really see who your friends are. You may help someone today, but tomorrow you may be thankful for someone helping you. Remember to pray and give alms during Advent, just as you do during Lent. For all that you do out of love for Me and your neighbor, I will see to your reward in heaven.”

Our Lady said: “My dear children, I was pleased by your priest who did some prayers and history celebrating the time between my feast of the Immaculate Conception and the feast of Guadeloupe. These are special feasts for the Americas. The Immaculate Conception Church is your country’s special honor for me in guarding your people. The feast of Guadeloupe is for all of the Americas.

In the miracle of the tilma image, I am portrayed pregnant as an Indian mother, and it is appropriate right before celebrating my Son, Jesus’ birth at Christmas. It is also a special Mass to have it said for one’s own intention while one is alive to have the graces of the Mass. Give thanks to Jesus for all the gifts that He has given you. We watch over all of our children because we love all of you so much.”

Jesus said: “My people, in the winter your population is vulnerable if your electricity shuts down, or your natural gas is shut down. Any event that threatens these necessities could cause serious problems for families who do not have a backup supply of alternative fuels, water, and food.

This is why I have asked you to prepare some food and fuel in case of such an emergency. There will be more foreclosures and bank failures that will not be stemmed by all of your bailout attempts that will not help the credit crisis. Without being able to finance homes, cars, and TVs, you will see many of your industries lose jobs and go into bankruptcy. All of your government attempts to bail out the bad loans will fail and cause a bankruptcy of your banking system itself.

This is when your new president, on prompting from his backers, will cause a new currency to take over that would also support the North American Union. Once your money is no longer any good, and martial law is called to stop the riots, then you need to call on Me to lead you to My nearest refuge where you will be protected by My angels and healed by My luminous crosses. Trust in My protection from the evil ones, and be thankful for My refuges that will feed you.”

Thursday, December 11, 2008: (St. Pope Damasus I)

Jesus said: “My people, I have given you many messages about making preparations to flee to My refuges once you see mandatory chips in the body and martial law. I also warned you that believers in God and patriots would be the targets for the one world government to eliminate at their death camps.

Priests also would be one of their top targets, so you will have to hide and protect your priests. There will be a division in My Church, so be more aware of My faithful priests as they could be sacrificing Masses for you in the homes and later at the refuges. My Church will again be persecuted as in My Early Church martyrs. Call on Me to protect you in body and spirit.”

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: “My people, you are making preparations to celebrate My birth at Christmas and preparations at your refuges for what you will need. The vision of a huge wedding banquet, with no guests at the table, is how I am preparing a place for you. Be prepared in your souls by Confession because your experience in heaven will be beyond your earthly comprehension of great joy and love.”

Jesus said: “My people, this financial downturn is influencing many parts of your society in many sectors of working people. Some corporations are already closing their factories and shipping their jobs to countries with cheaper labor.

Other factories are now closing because their customers are not buying enough to make it profitable to stay in business. Your losses of jobs are setting records with little chance of these jobs being restored. Pray for your people that they will find enough work to provide for their families.”

Jesus said: “My people, there are some beautiful people who support and operate food shelves to feed and clothe the poor. Because of the hard times there are many more people requesting food, but there are not enough donations to give enough to everyone that comes.

It is time for those, who can give donations and time, to reach out and help these food shelves so they will have the food needed to help those without work or welfare. Call on Me to help touch more hearts to share with the poor.”

Jesus said: “My people, you spend a fair amount of money on Christmas gifts each year. You all look forward to sharing your gifts on Christmas Eve or on Christmas Day. This year there are many hurting financially, and it would be a great extension of your Christmas spirit if you could spend some of that money on food for the poor in your local area. Even bringing food directly to a needy family would make your heart glow when it is received with thanks.”

Jesus said: “My people, the Magi followed My star and traveled a long distance in order to see their new King in Me and give Me their kingly gifts. Think of Me as I am present in the poor that need your help more now than ever.

I am the same King that the Magi greeted, and you could be the modern day Magi that may have to travel to share your gifts of food and clothing for the poor. Remember when you help the least of your brothers and sisters, you are helping Me.”

Jesus said: “My people, at times you are praying for your friends and relatives in all of their illnesses and their needs. I have asked you many times to pray and give donations to the poor, but this was more for their physical survival.

There also are the spiritual poor who also need your prayers and Masses to help them come back to the sacraments, and pray that their souls could be saved by your evangelization attempts.”

Jesus said: “My people, I have asked many to go into My harvest of souls and evangelize as many souls as you could during your lifetime. This has been an ongoing mission for all of My faithful at all times.

But there is coming a special time after My Warning, when all souls will see Me in their life review and their hearts will be reaching out to Me for the forgiveness of their sins. It is at this precious time that many prayers for conversions will be answered.

This is why the Harvest Master is calling on My prayer warriors to be ready to work harder at that time to save as many souls as you can reach to save them for heaven. Then you and all of heaven will rejoice at every soul that is saved by My grace. These souls after the Warning will be much more open to receive Me into their hearts.”

Friday, December 12, 2008: (Our Lady of Guadeloupe)

Jesus said: “My people, the bishop in Guadeloupe was asking My Blessed Mother for a sign that the messages to Juan Diego were real when she asked for a basilica to be built on those grounds. When Juan Diego showed him roses in the winter and especially the miraculous image of My Blessed Mother of Guadeloupe on the tilma, there was great joy in that town.

Soon after in Mexico City they did finally erect a church where pilgrims have viewed the tilma constantly for many years. Many conversions have resulted from this miracle, and this shrine in Guadeloupe has become My Blessed Mother’s Shrine for all the Americas. Rejoice in heaven’s sharing of graces from My Blessed Mother and I over all of our children.”

Jesus said: “My people, you continue to be tested by natural disasters, even as I just warned you about power outages and having enough food and fuel on hand. Now you just had another ice storm that has left 1.5 million homes without power.

Your weather continues to be manipulated by the HAARP machine as you saw an unusually deep jet stream carry cold weather from the North all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico giving snow in Texas and New Orleans, which is very rare.

This same weather storm then picked up the Gulf water in the air and this gave moisture to form the ice storm across the Mid Atlantic states and the New England states. You have had ice storms in the past, but because of this manipulation, you are seeing more ice storms and power outages becoming more frequent than normal.

Look for more of these disasters to be occurring as you have seen higher numbers of tornadoes and floods than usual in this year. Again these are more signs that you are in the end times, and you need to call on My help to provide for your daily needs.”

Saturday, December 13, 2008: (St. Lucy)

Jesus said: “My people, the vision of a flooding river, combined with heavy downpours of rain and snow, are showing you more natural disasters that are on the way. Remember when you are having wars or financial hard times, you also see bad storms reflected in your weather.

This latest ice storm is a rare disaster compared to your tornadoes and hurricanes. Winter can bring snow and ice disasters, especially when you have many hot and cold weather changes with dramatic temperature shifts. Be prepared for these weather disasters that are sometimes causing power outages. The longer your power is out, the more difficult it will be for families to find food and keep warm.

Have some warm clothes and plenty of heavy blankets available in addition to your other preparations. Also be ready with full gas tanks if you have to evacuate quickly from flooding. Trust in My help in all of the disasters that will come, and be ready to help and feed your neighbor in an emergency.”

Sunday, December 14, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, I am having you focus on this vision of a backbone because I want My disciples to be able to stand up against your society with a good spiritual backbone. Do not let people control what you say and do, just to be accepted. Whenever you proclaim My Gospel of love, the world will reject you, as they rejected Me.

So do not be afraid to say ‘Merry Christmas’, speak out against abortion, tell people living together that they are living in sin, or that homosexual acts are sinful. You are living in an immoral death culture that follows Satan in desiring sinful pleasures and comforts.

St. John the Baptist is calling you to repent of your sins and change your sinful lifestyles into ones seeking holiness and pure souls as your gift to Me at Christmas. This is what Advent is all about, and then truly you can rejoice in My peace and love of Christmas.”

Monday, December 15, 2008

December 15, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, the bare Christmas tree, without any decorations or Nativity Scene, is a sign of how many people are drawn to the material or secular side of Christmas, but they forget the connection with My birth in Bethlehem. People like the gift buying and giving, and they place out on their yards Santa Claus, snowmen, and reindeer, but they forget about My Nativity Scene.

Very few faithful people display My Nativity Scene in their Christmas decorations. If I am not in the hearts of the secular minded people, then how can they know and love Me enough to come to Mass to celebrate My birth. Not only do My faithful need to stand up to express ‘Christmas’ every year, but it is also a good time to evangelize the lukewarm and those who have no religion.

By your good example, they can see the love of Me in your hearts, and it may inspire others to enjoy this love experience with Me. Pray for those souls around you who need to be converted or re-converted back to the faith. At Christmas when this is one of the few times when some come to Mass, pray for these souls to come to Mass more often.”

Jesus said: “My people, you remember when I took pity on the crowd that was listening to My sermon, and I multiplied the bread and fish for everyone to have some food. I was very generous because they even collected twelve baskets full of fragments. With Me all things are possible, so you can trust Me to have pity on My faithful to provide for your protection, food, and shelter.

So do not worry what you are to eat, or what you are to wear, or where you are to stay. My angels will defend you from the evil ones, and they will lead you to the nearest refuge. Even now in this world, I have helped you in your jobs and finances to provide for your families.

So when you see famine, division in My Church, martial law, and mandatory chips in the body, you know it is time to call on Me to have your angels lead you to the refuge. Keep calm and trust that all will go well for you under My wings of protection. Obedience to My laws and following My direction will keep you safe from the evil ones who will try to kill you. Thank Me for all that I do for you now, and for all that I will do for you in the future.”

Tuesday, December 16, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, today’s Gospel is all about people making decisions in life to follow Me or not. I am the Father asking everyone to go into the vineyard of this life, pick up your cross, and carry it to the end of your life. Some may say ‘yes’ at first, but then later they grow weak in their faith and they fall away.

Others may be converted to the faith, some return to their original faith, and some are even saved on their death bed. Choosing to follow Me takes a commitment in faith, and it requires that you be persistent in your prayers, good deeds, and follow My laws. It means that you will attend Sunday Mass and go to frequent Confession to keep your soul always cleansed of sin.

You need to be prepared to die and be ready to meet Me at your judgment every day. This vision of a train coming to the station means that I have paid your ticket to salvation, but you must repent and be at the station on time, or you will miss your chance to come to heaven. My reward is only for those who love Me, and are faithful to Me in life.”

Jesus said: “My people, one of the goals of the one world people is to reduce the population so they would have less to control. Two ways that they would bring this mass killing about will be through a pandemic virus and killing millions in the detention center death camps. The pandemic virus would be spread most likely in the winter when viruses thrive, and by chemtrails as you saw in the skies today.

The one world people will have protection vaccines that will counter this virus. This is why My faithful need to build up their immune systems with Hawthorn, herbs, and vitamins.

When you see people dying, it would be wise to go to My refuges where looking on the luminous cross and drinking the spring water will heal any sicknesses. The evil ones also will come to your homes to try and force chips in the body on you. Those, who are captured and refuse these chips, could be martyred in the death camps.

Again when you see mandatory chips in the body start, this is another sign to call on Me to have your angels lead you to My refuges where you will be invisible to these evil ones. In both cases I will protect you from death when you leave for My refuges. I will warn you when it is time because there will be a lot of deaths for those who do not follow My warning. Give praise and thanks to your God who is watching over all of My children.”

Wednesday, December 17, 2008

Jesus said: “My people, today’s Gospel is focused on the lineage of St. Joseph and My Blessed Mother who both were in the line of King David. This lineage is also emphasized when they both had to travel to Bethlehem to register for a census.

Even today in your country you do a census every ten years for knowing how many live in various states and voting districts. The Scriptures in both St. Matthew and St. Luke’s Gospels record the parents of each generation, even back to Adam.

The prophecies of My coming point to Bethlehem from the house of King David. I came to suffer and die for the sins of all people from Adam up until the last person to be born. After all of these prophesies have been fulfilled, you are able to see how My plan of salvation has been carried out. You commemorate My coming at Christmas, but you also wait in hope for My coming to conquer all evil and provide you with a new heavens and a new earth.”

SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH

"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."

Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.

Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails. Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

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, 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.

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.

Volume II Lesson # 31 December 25, 1989

DAY OF MY BIRTH

My dear child, what a glorious day and one on which I come bringing you tidings of joy! This joy is for all people. I love them, and rejoice in those who have chosen life.

The purpose of My Birth, to save My beloved ones and free them from sin and grant them salvation, is fulfilled this day, the day of My Birth! Each day is a rebirth for all those who desire life in Me. But this day, 2000 years ago, My Father granted salvation for all through Me! My Birth was your salvation; My Suffering, your redemption!

Now the angels sing songs of joy for all who this day are born in Me. I send My Peace and rejoice in all who have chosen eternal life, regardless of their religion. Those who have chosen eternal life have chosen Me, for only I can provide true eternal life in My Father.

I wish for My people to know this day that they are not alone! Rejoice in the Good News of your life. Rejoice, for the Newborn Babe is alive and reigns for all eternity. Rejoice, for this day the Father has given Me, your Savior, to the world. Come, all ye who desire life, and receive it. With Me there is no death, only life, the purity of life like a newborn babe.

It is today I have taken many souls into My Kingdom, especially the forgotten ones! Thank you for your prayers, for these souls have been exalted and glorified on this day, the day of My Birth. I am your Jesus Who wishes to give to all. I am not asking anything of anyone, other then to love and be pure. I wish to give to all. Please graciously accept and live!

Thank you for loving My people. As you love Me, you love them. As you deny yourself for Me, you give to them; and I bless you in thanksgiving. Rejoice! Your Newborn Babe is born and alive!

My HIDDEN LIFE By Our Lord Jesus Christ to Gianna Talone Sullivan

2/20/99 4. My Birth

At the time of My birth, little child, there were myriads of angels rejoicing and surrounding My stepfather and My mother. They escorted them to the humble manger prepared by My stepfather.

Slightly disappointed by the accommodations in which the Savior of the world was to enter the world, My mother, in all her humility and innocence, resigned that the Father had willed that my entrance would be in a manger, and made the best of her surroundings and preparations for My comfort.

Then came the time for Me to leave the warmth and security of the pure, Immaculate womb of the woman whom all generations would call Blessed. The trumpets sounded, and in the silence of the night, enveloped in a Divine Light from heaven, Mary, wife of Joseph from the House of David, gave birth without trouble or distress to your Jesus, Savior and King of salvation, your Emmanuel.

She did not lose her Immaculate virginity. Joseph, in respecting the privacy of this moment went to retrieve assistance from a servant at an Inn to attend to My Mother's needs, not aware that this birth would be completed by his return and that the angels from above would attend to this humble handmaid of the Lord.

Yes, Mary was alone; yet she was accompanied by myriads of angels who protected her and assisted her needs. By the time My stepfather returned, alone and frustrated from not being able to find assistance; there I laid, cradled in a bed of straw, nestled in the warmth of My Mother's arms, surrounded by invisible angels whom even my stepfather was unable to see. The animals gathered, the shepherds received their callings in their hearts, and the three kings from a far set out to seek the Savior.

Many people wonder and ask questions regarding My birth. Let us address some of these questions. How could Mary retain her virginity if she gave birth? She maintained her virginity because she had no relations with any man.

She maintained her purity because she was Immaculate. It was the Holy Spirit who breathed upon her, with her fiat, to be with child. The act by man had no part in her pregnancy.

I am pure. I came into the world pure without sin. The only way I could come as man into the world without the stain of sin was to be born from a woman whose blood was not tainted by sin, but was pure and Immaculate.

I was Divine; and to come into the world and take a human form in all ways but sin, I had to be born of a human who through the Hand of the Father would be created Immaculate and sinless. Mary never lost her virginity because she never had any sexual relationship with a man. She conceived through the Power of the Holy Spirit. All things are possible with God.

Then you ask: Does this make Mary divine? No, Mary was human. She was created Immaculate so that I could be born into the world, human in all ways except sin; but she was not exempt from any other aspect of human life, and she is not God.

You cannot say that Mary is not a role model for women because she did feel pain, anguish, frustrations, sorrows, grief, humiliation, joy and happiness. She experienced every human emotion. She was simply created Immaculate; and through her humble "yes", I was allowed entrance into the world to carry the weight of the world and free everyone from death and the powers of evil.

Did God the Father communicate with Mary? Yes, as He did with many of the prophets before her and continues now. Even My stepfather listened to His communication through his dreams and promptings from the Holy Spirit. The Father did not relay to her that she was chosen to be the Mother of God. He simply revealed to her that the Savior was forthcoming.

Her reply was to be able to be a servant of the woman so blessed to bear the Son of God. She did not ask whom it would be. It was only when the Archangel Gabriel revealed it to her that she became aware of it and graciously received the Gift of the Holy Spirit as her Spouse. The act of the conception was through the Holy Spirit, and the act of birth was through the Holy Spirit. It began and was finished through the Holy Spirit.

As many women today give birth without trouble, so did My mother; and the angels were sent by My Father to attend her. She felt pain as all women feel pain. When she faced birth, at the same moment she also faced death because Life was coming into the world to slay death.

Was she afraid? Yes, as with any mother, fear of the unknown passed by; but her hope and faith in God above humbled her to accept and trust all that God had planned for her in the future.

Was she concerned for her husband, his thoughts and the provisions for the Savior? Yes, every human emotion was present and concurred through her continuous fiat. Be it done unto me as you say!

What did my stepfather say when he saw Me? In awe he humbled himself as my innocence, radiance and omnipotence enveloped him in My Love. He knew the Truth and desired to protect the Gift from Heaven from all harm.

As his eyes welled up with tears, he bowed graciously to the humble handmaid in humility, as her simplicity, beauty and radiant purity inebriated him. That is how from Heaven above I was born, your Savior for all the world, for all eternity, never to be separated again as once in the Garden of Eden.

5. Mirna and the Shepherds

My little one, after My birth a servant from the Inn came to assist My mother in caring for her female needs, hygiene and health precautions as was protocol for that time period. My stepfather was relieved upon seeing the presence of the servant, and upon her arrival he graciously made accommodations for the time she spent with My mother. Serving the needs of My mother changed her life forever. Her name was Mirna.

The first week of My human life I received the necessary nutrients from My mother's breast for my immune system, as the odiferous animals kept the area warm. I continued to feed from her breasts until I was 9 months old, and then I began to be weaned from her and gradually introduced to pureed foods. My favorite foods as I grew older were goat cheese and honey.

The shepherds from the field were the first to pay tribute to me after Mirna returned to her duties at the Inn. They knew then that the Savior of the world did not come for the righteous but for the lowly.

Their hearts were filled with joy and wonder as they gazed upon My innocence and purity. When the Kings arrived, they remained with us for 2 months before they returned to their homelands, but we will talk about that scene later. The shepherds provided My mother and stepfather with food and drink. They visited daily and made every effort to provide things to make Me and My parents comfortable. They introduced My stepfather to the area in which he could later make known his trade.

However, the first week was a very intimate ecstasy and elation of joy for the Holy Family, one of the great awe, adoration and thanksgiving. God was born! The Son of Man had entered the world and was sustained by grace from the Eternal Father.

Our Lady of All Nations--9th Message, March 29, 1946

The Divine Child

Once again I see the Lady standing before me. She has a child on her arm. He has a halo around His Head, and He is radiating light on all sides. It is as if the Lady comes down, and now I see her standing on a globe. The globe rotates continuously beneath her. The Lady looks at me and says, "Come follow me."

I go along behind her, and it is as if we are walking over the globe. The Lady turns to me and says, "Him"; and she points at the child, "I want to bring into that world again."

But as she says this, she shakes her head again and again. I look at the Child, and as I look that Child changes into a Cross. All at once the Cross falls to the ground before me and breaks into pieces. I look at the world and see it lying entirely in darkness. Then I hear the Lady call, "Bring Him back into that world!" And she points at the fragmented Cross.

Now suddenly I see the Cross complete again, planted in the midst of the world. All sorts of people are standing around it, but with heads turned away. I suddenly feel very tired and tell this to the Lady. But she smiles at me.

Then suddenly I see her sitting on a kind of armchair. She has the Child with her again on her lap. The Child radiates light in all directions. The Lady says, "First, back to Him; only then will there be true peace." She stresses the word "true."

Then words appear around the Lady in a curve. I have to read aloud, "Truth." "Again?" I say and look at the Lady. She nods "yes''. This is in the middle. Then I read on the left, "Justice," and on the right, "Love of Neighbor."

(DOES THIS NOT PROPHESY WHAT OUR LADY OF EMMITSBURG HAS REVEALED ABOUT THE EUCHARISTIC REIGN OF THE CHILD JESUS AND HIS ROLE DURING THE END TIMES?)

The Words of God the Father

Given on November 26, 2006 The Feast of Christ the King for release on December 8, 2006

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary

My Dear Children of Humanity,

Know how loved you are through my great Love and Mercy! Know that you are children, all "children of Abraham." So many children, far greater than the number of stars in the sky!

Those who come to know and desire Truth will come to know true "freedom." For this great gift today is a blessing from My Hands. This blessing belongs to you through My Son Who is King.

"Kingdom" is the word, for I say to all of you that My Kingdom is one that dwells here and now. My Kingdom come, My Will be done on earth as it is at My Throne! My Kingdom, now on earth with you, is for those who desire to live it. It is a time, a new time, a renewal for you. For all those who desire to receive, your loving Father desires to give.

My Son, Who was forsaken and Who gave His Life on the Cross, redeemed you. My beloved daughter, Mary, spouse of the Third Person of the Holy Trinity, who was beside Him pleading for you, joins in this great gift of bringing and inviting all of you to "freedom."

A battle in the Heavens commences and a spiritual renewal of life embarks upon the world with the Grace of My Hand shedding loving Mercy and Kindness into your souls. How great it is to live in My Kingdom now, where I dwell! Come all, and know your Merciful Father is One who loves and One Who gives, not One Who takes away.

I love you. In the Palm of My Hand, there is the world, desperate, searching, grieving, sorrowful, fighting, and mourning; and in My other Palm is the new clay, inviting, replenishing, (long pause), rejuvenating, (long pause), freeing, (long pause, joyfully gifting, (long pause), forgiving, (long pause), protecting, (long pause), fulfilling, (long pause), and remolding all of you.

Come, (very long pause), come, (very long pause) ,come to Me (fading whisper).

Public Message Our Lady of Emmitsburg To the World through Gianna Sullivan December 24, 2002 Christmas Eve

My dear little children, praised be Jesus!

I love you, little ones, and I desire you to not only seek the Truth, but also to know the Truth, to live the Truth in your hearts, to proclaim the Truth on your lips, and to be the shining lights of God, not only in your own hearts, but also in your families, in your communities, and around the world. But you must live the Way of God, not the way of the desires of your own hearts.

When you are corrected, you do not desire to be corrected because of the pain involved. What I most want you to generously receive and know is that as my Son is the Emmanuel, my Son is your Savior. What I desire you to know is that correction develops character, gives you strength and fortitude, perseverance and temperance, and allows you to rise to a new level, one in which you are as the shining star that came with the angels above to announce the Savior’s birth.

With the Birth at Bethlehem came also the Cross at Calvary. With the Cross at Calvary came also the Redemption and the Resurrection at Easter. So you are all together on this journey of Love; and, dear children, I desire with all my heart for you to know that you are safe as you dwell in my Immaculate Heart, but as you dwell there in Love.

It is not about who is right as you each seek to have made known your own case. I desire for you to truly join me in prayer and in love at the center, the core of my Immaculate Heart where true Love dwells, my Son Himself.

In an instant of time, in a moment’s glance a war would reduce your thoughts and your fears and your angers to nothingness. So why is it now that in this moment of silence you cannot all join in love and peace? Have mercy on my Son who above all has had mercy on you.

Thank you, little ones, for responding to my call.

Fr Doucette - Wed, Dec 24, 2008: "My coming was the turning point for the world"

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE

"My coming was the turning point for the world"
Wednesday, December 24, 2008 Dear Friends,

The Word of God was in the world, and the world came to be through him, but the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him. But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man?s decision but of God.

And the Word became flesh
And made his dwelling among us,
And we saw his glory,
The glory as of the Father's only Son,
Full of grace and truth.
John 1:10 14
I wish you all a Blessed Christmas filled with much love, joy and peace.

Here is another message from Our Lord addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke these words to him: At the beginning of St. John's Gospel, there is the Prologue, which gives a beautiful introduction of who I am. I am the Word who is God and I took on human flesh, which means human nature, and came to live among you.

My birth was in a very humble place, a stable, but the glory of God was shown through many happenings on that first Christmas night. The star came down and lit up the stable where I laid on the hay in the manger, the angels came to the stable and sang their beautiful hymns and people came to greet Me, a tiny little baby just born.

This night you will celebrate this Feast of My birth in Jerusalem. My coming was the turning point for the world. The year of the calendar, which is used in most parts of the world, starts with My birth. I was born in a very humble place to show you that I did not come to be served but to serve and to suffer for your redemption. I am the Messiah, the Saviour, who was awaited for thousands of years.

A people had to be prepared where I could be born and these people are the humble believers of Israel. These are My Mother, St. Joseph, Zechariah, Elizabeth, John the Baptist, and all those who came to believe in Me while I was on earth and all of you who later on accepted Me as your Redeemer.

I was a writer of Protrepticus, Paedagogus, and Stromateis. The latter I did not complete.

I taught that we Christians must find out, know, and then practice a moral Christian life, to reach perfection, and thus God.

I said that knowledge and faith were imperative to find out learn, live, and to understand, and thus follow God’s will.

PROPHECY MEDITATIONS TODAY

Test! Discern The Spirit! Accept what speaks to YOUR SOUL/SPIRIT. Disregard the rest!

Fair use, educational and religious purposes, 17 U.S.C. for those in the African Diasora who would otherwise not be exposed to such.

ANGELS

From Letter of Eileen Renders re: Catholic Encyclopedia, Fair use 17 U.S.C. FOR THOSE IN THE African Diaspora (education and religious)who would otherwise not be exposed to such.

“ …RE: describing angels and guardian angels, NOT ONCE says that they are spirits that always were spirits? “ … While most (98% or so) of the Catholic teachings can actually be verified, there are some things we have learned that are not directly from God but from descendents, Teachers. Other religions have always believed that guardian angels were good people who lived their lives, passed on, went to heaven and were then appointed to become guardian angels. … (Latin angelus; Greek aggelos; from the Hebrew for "one going" or "one sent"; messenger). The word is used in Hebrew to denote indifferently either a divine or human messenger. The Septuagint renders it by aggelos which also has both significations. The Latin version, however, distinguishes the divine or spirit-messenger from the human, rendering the original in the one case by angelus and in the other by legatus or more generally by nuntius. In a few passages the Latin version is misleading, the word angelus being used where nuntius would have better expressed the meaning, e.g. Isaiah 18:2; 33:3-6.

It is with the spirit-messenger alone that we are here concerned. We have to discuss

the meaning of the term in the Bible,
the offices of the angels,
the names assigned to the angels,
the distinction between good and evil spirits,
the divisions of the angelic choirs,
the question of angelic appearances, and
the development of the scriptural idea of angels.

The angels are represented throughout the Bible as a body of spiritual beings intermediate between God and men: "You have made him (man) a little less than the angels" (Psalm 8:6). They, equally with man, are created beings; "praise ye Him, all His angels: praise ye Him, all His hosts . . . for He spoke and they were made. He commanded and they were created" (Psalm 148:2-5; Colossians 1:16-17). That the angels were created was laid down in the Fourth Lateran Council (1215). The decree "Firmiter" against the Albigenses declared both the fact that they were created and that men were created after them.

This decree was repeated by the Vatican Council, "Dei Filius". We mention it here because the words: "He that liveth for ever created all things together" (Ecclesiasticus 18:1) have been held to prove a simultaneous creation of all things; but it is generally conceded that "together" (simul) may here mean "equally", in the sense that all things were "alike" created. They are spirits; the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews says: "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister to them who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?" (Hebrews 1:14).

Attendants at God's throne

It is as messengers that they most often figure in the Bible, but, as St. Augustine, and after him St. Gregory, expresses it: angelus est nomen officii ("angel is the name of the office") and expresses neither their essential nature nor their essential function, viz.: that of attendants upon God's throne in that court of heaven of which Daniel has left us a vivid picture:

I behold till thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days sat: His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like clean wool: His throne like flames of fire: the wheels of it like a burning fire.

A swift stream of fire issued forth from before Him: thousands of thousands ministered to Him, and ten thousand times a hundred thousand stood before Him: the judgment sat and the books were opened. (Daniel 7:9-10; cf. also Psalm 96:7; Psalm 102:20; Isaiah 6, etc.)

This function of the angelic host is expressed by the word "assistance" (Job 1:6; 2:1), and our Lord refers to it as their perpetual occupation (Matthew 18:10). More than once we are told of seven angels whose special function it is thus to "stand before God's throne" (Tobit 12:15; Revelation 8:2-5).

The same thought may be intended by "the angel of His presence" (Isaiah 63:9) an expression which also occurs in the pseudo-epigraphical "Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs".

God's messengers to mankind

But these glimpses of life beyond the veil are only occasional. The angels of the Bible generally appear in the role of God's messengers to mankind.

They are His instruments by whom He communicates His will to men, and in Jacob's vision they are depicted as ascending and descending the ladder which stretches from earth to heaven while the Eternal Father gazes upon the wanderer below. It was an angel who found Agar in the wilderness (Genesis 16); angels drew Lot out of Sodom; an angel announces to Gideon that he is to save his people; an angel foretells the birth of Samson (Judges 13), and the angel Gabriel instructs Daniel (Daniel 8:16), though he is not called an angel in either of these passages, but "the man Gabriel" (9:21).

The same heavenly spirit announced the birth of St. John the Baptist and the Incarnation of the Redeemer, while tradition ascribes to him both the message to the shepherds (Luke 2:9), and the most glorious mission of all, that of strengthening the King of Angels in His Agony (Luke 22:43). The spiritual nature of the angels is manifested very clearly in the account which Zacharias gives of the revelations bestowed upon him by the ministry of an angel. The prophet depicts the angel as speaking "in him". He seems to imply that he was conscious of an interior voice which was not that of God but of His messenger.

The Massoretic text, the Septuagint, and the Vulgate all agree in thus describing the communications made by the angel to the prophet. It is a pity that the "Revised Version" should, in apparent defiance of the above-named texts, obscure this trait by persistently giving the rendering: "the angel that talked with me: instead of "within me" (cf. Zechariah 1:9-14; 2:3; 4:5; 5:10).

Such appearances of angels generally last only so long as the delivery of their message requires, but frequently their mission is prolonged, and they are represented as the constituted guardians of the nations at some particular crisis, e.g. during the Exodus (Exodus 14:19; Baruch 6:6). Similarly it is the common view of the Fathers that by "the prince of the Kingdom of the Persians" (Daniel 10:13-21) we are to understand the angel to whom was entrusted the spiritual care of that kingdom, and we may perhaps see in the "man of Macedonia" who appeared to St. Paul at Troas, the guardian angel of that country (Acts 16:9).

The Septuagint (Deuteronomy 32:8), has preserved for us a fragment of information on this head, though it is difficult to gauge its exact meaning: "When the Most High divided the nations, when He scattered the children of Adam, He established the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God".

How large a part the ministry of angels played, not merely in Hebrew theology, but in the religious ideas of other nations as well, appears from the expression "like to an angel of God". It is three times used of David (2 Samuel 14:17-20; 14:27) and once by Achis of Geth (1 Samuel 29:9). It is even applied by Esther to Assuerus (Esther 15:16), and St. Stephen's face is said to have looked "like the face of an angel" as he stood before the Sanhedrin (Acts 6:15).

Personal guardians

Throughout the Bible we find it repeatedly implied that each individual soul has its tutelary angel. Thus Abraham, when sending his steward to seek a wife for Isaac, says: "He will send His angel before thee" (Genesis 24:7).

The words of the ninetieth Psalm which the devil quoted to our Lord (Matthew 4:6) are well known, and Judith accounts for her heroic deed by saying: "As the Lord liveth, His angel hath been my keeper" (13:20).

These passages and many like them (Genesis 16:6-32; Hosea 12:4; 1 Kings 19:5; Acts 12:7; Psalm 33:8), though they will not of themselves demonstrate the doctrine that every individual has his appointed guardian angel, receive their complement in our Saviour's words: "See that you despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you that their angels in Heaven always see the face of My Father Who is in Heaven" (Matthew 18:10), words which illustrate the remark of St. Augustine: "What lies hidden in the Old Testament, is made manifest in the New".

Indeed, the book of Tobias seems intended to teach this truth more than any other, and St. Jerome in his commentary on the above words of our Lord says: "The dignity of a soul is so great, that each has a guardian angel from its birth." The general doctrine that the angels are our appointed guardians is considered to be a point of faith, but that each individual member of the human race has his own individual guardian angel is not of faith (de fide); the view has, however, such strong support from the Doctors of the Church that it would be rash to deny it (cf. St. Jerome, supra).

Peter the Lombard (Sentences, lib. II, dist. xi) was inclined to think that one angel had charge of several individual human beings. St. Bernard's beautiful homilies (11-14) on the ninetieth Psalm breathe the spirit of the Church without however deciding the question. The Bible represents the angels not only as our guardians, but also as actually interceding for us. "The angel Raphael (Tobit 12:12) says: "I offered thy prayer to the Lord" (cf. Job 5:1 (Septuagint), and 33:23 (Vulgate); Apocalypse 8:4).

The Catholic cult of the angels is thus thoroughly scriptural. Perhaps the earliest explicit declaration of it is to be found in St. Ambrose's words: "We should pray to the angels who are given to us as guardians" (De Viduis, ix); (cf. St. Augustine, Reply to Faustus XX.21). An undue cult of angels was reprobated by St. Paul (Colossians 2:18), and that such a tendency long remained in the same district is evidenced by Canon 35 of the Synod of Laodicea.

As divine agents governing the world

The foregoing passages, especially those relating to the angels who have charge of various districts, enable us to understand the practically unanimous view of the Fathers that it is the angels who put into execution God's law regarding the physical world. The Semitic belief in genii and in spirits which cause good or evil is well known, and traces of it are to be found in the Bible. Thus the pestilence which devastated Israel for David's sin in numbering the people is attributed to an angel whom David is said to have actually seen (2 Samuel 24:15-17), and more explicitly, I Par., xxi, 14-18). Even the wind rustling in the tree-tops was regarded as an angel (2 Samuel 5:23-24; 1 Chronicles 14:14, 15).

This is more explicitly stated with regard to the pool of Probatica (John 5:1-4), though these is some doubt about the text; in that passage the disturbance of the water is said to be due to the periodic visits of an angel. The Semites clearly felt that all the orderly harmony of the universe, as well as interruptions of that harmony, were due to God as their originator, but were carried out by His ministers.

This view is strongly marked in the "Book of Jubilees" where the heavenly host of good and evil angels is every interfering in the material universe. Maimonides (Directorium Perplexorum, iv and vi) is quoted by St. Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theologicæ I.1.3) as holding that the Bible frequently terms the powers of nature angels, since they manifest the omnipotence of God (cf. St. Jerome, In Mich., vi, 1, 2; P.L., iv, col. 1206).

Hierarchical organization

Though the angels who appear in the earlier works of the Old Testament are strangely impersonal and are overshadowed by the importance of the message they bring or the work they do, there are not wanting hints regarding the existence of certain ranks in the heavenly army.

After Adam's fall Paradise is guarded against our First Parents by cherubim who are clearly God's ministers, though nothing is said of their nature. Only once again do the cherubim figure in the Bible, viz., in Ezechiel's marvellous vision, where they are described at great length (Ezekiel 1), and are actually called cherub in Ezechiel 10. The Ark was guarded by two cherubim, but we are left to conjecture what they were like.

It has been suggested with great probability that we have their counterpart in the winged bulls and lions guarding the Assyrian palaces, and also in the strange winged men with hawks' heads who are depicted on the walls of some of their buildings. The seraphim appear only in the vision of Isaias 6:6.

Mention has already been made of the mystic seven who stand before God, and we seem to have in them an indication of an inner cordon that surrounds the throne. The term archangel occurs only in St. Jude and 1 Thessalonians 4:15; but St. Paul has furnished us with two other lists of names of the heavenly cohorts. He tells us (Ephesians 1:21) that Christ is raised up "above all principality, and power, and virtue, and dominion"; and, writing to the Colossians (1:16), he says: "In Him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominations, or principalities or powers."

It is to be noted that he uses two of these names of the powers of darkness when (2:15) he talks of Christ as "despoiling the principalities and powers . . . triumphing over them in Himself". And it is not a little remarkable that only two verses later he warns his readers not to be seduced into any "religion of angels".

He seems to put his seal upon a certain lawful angelology, and at the same time to warn them against indulging superstition on the subject. We have a hint of such excesses in the Book of Enoch, wherein, as already stated, the angels play a quite disproportionate part. Similarly Josephus tells us (Bel. Jud., II, viii, 7) that the Essenes had to take a vow to preserve the names of the angels.

We have already seen how (Daniel 10:12-21) various districts are allotted to various angels who are termed their princes, and the same feature reappears still more markedly in the Apocalyptic "angels of the seven churches", though it is impossible to decide what is the precise signification of the term.

These seven Angels of the Churches are generally regarded as being the Bishops occupying these sees. St. Gregory Nazianzen in his address to the Bishops at Constantinople twice terms them "Angels", in the language of the Apocalypse.

The treatise "De Coelesti Hierarchia", which is ascribed to St. Denis the Areopagite, and which exercised so strong an influence upon the Scholastics, treats at great length of the hierarchies and orders of the angels. It is generally conceded that this work was not due to St. Denis, but must date some centuries later.

Though the doctrine it contains regarding the choirs of angels has been received in the Church with extraordinary unanimity, no proposition touching the angelic hierarchies is binding on our faith. The following passages from St. Gregory the Great (Hom. 34, In Evang.) will give us a clear idea of the view of the Church's doctors on the point:

We know on the authority of Scripture that there are nine orders of angels, viz., Angels, Archangels, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Dominations, Throne, Cherubim and Seraphim. That there are Angels and Archangels nearly every page of the Bible tell us, and the books of the Prophets talk of Cherubim and Seraphim.

St. Paul, too, writing to the Ephesians enumerates four orders when he says: 'above all Principality, and Power, and Virtue, and Domination'; and again, writing to the Colossians he says: 'whether Thrones, or Dominations, or Principalities, or Powers'. If we now join these two lists together we have five Orders, and adding Angels and Archangels, Cherubim and Seraphim, we find nine Orders of Angels.

St. Thomas (Summa Theologica I:108), following St. Denis (De Coelesti Hierarchia, vi, vii), divides the angels into three hierarchies each of which contains three orders. Their proximity to the Supreme Being serves as the basis of this division. In the first hierarchy he places the Seraphim, Cherubim, and Thrones; in the second, the Dominations, Virtues, and Powers; in the third, the Principalities, Archangels, and Angels.

The only Scriptural names furnished of individual angels are Raphael, Michael, and Gabriel, names which signify their respective attributes. Apocryphal Jewish books, such as the Book of Enoch, supply those of Uriel and Jeremiel, while many are found in other apocryphal sources, like those Milton names in "Paradise Lost". (On superstitious use of such names, see above).

The number of angels

The number of the angels is frequently stated as prodigious (Daniel 7:10; Apocalypse 5:11; Psalm 67:18; Matthew 26:53). From the use of the word host (sabaoth) as a synonym for the heavenly army it is hard to resist the impression that the term "Lord of Hosts" refers to God's Supreme command of the angelic multitude (cf. Deuteronomy 33:2; 32:43; Septuagint).

The Fathers see a reference to the relative numbers of men and angels in the parable of the hundred sheep (Luke 15:1-3), though this may seem fanciful. The Scholastics, again, following the treatise "De Coelesti Hierarchia" of St. Denis, regard the preponderance of numbers as a necessary perfection of the angelic host (cf. St. Thomas, Summa Theologica I:1:3).

The evil angels

The distinction of good and bad angels constantly appears in the Bible, but it is instructive to note that there is no sign of any dualism or conflict between two equal principles, one good and the other evil.

The conflict depicted is rather that waged on earth between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of the Evil One, but the latter's inferiority is always supposed. The existence, then, of this inferior, and therefore created, spirit, has to be explained.

The gradual development of Hebrew consciousness on this point is very clearly marked in the inspired writings. The account of the fall of our First Parents (Genesis 3) is couched in such terms that it is impossible to see in it anything more than the acknowledgment of the existence of a principle of evil who was jealous of the human race.

The statement (Genesis 6:1) that the "sons of God" married the daughters of men is explained of the fall of the angels, in Enoch, vi-xi, and codices, D, E F, and A of the Septuagint read frequently, for "sons of God", oi aggeloi tou theou. Unfortunately, codices B and C are defective in Genesis 6, but it is probably that they, too, read oi aggeloi in this passage, for they constantly so render the expression "sons of God"; cf. Job 1:6, 2:1 and 38:7; but on the other hand, see Psalm 2:1 and 88 (Septuagint).

Philo, in commenting on the passage in his treatise "Quod Deus sit immutabilis", i, follows the Septuagint. For Philo's doctrine of Angels, cf. "De Vita Mosis", iii, 2, "De Somniis", VI: "De Incorrupta Manna", i; "De Sacrificis", ii; "De Lege Allegorica", I, 12; III, 73; and for the view of Genesis 6:1, cf. St. Justin, First Apology 5. It should moreover be noted that the Hebrew word nephilim rendered gigantes, in 6:4, may mean "fallen ones". The Fathers generally refer it to the sons of Seth, the chosen stock. In 1 Samuel 19:9, an evil spirit is said to possess Saul, though this is probably a metaphorical expression; more explicit is 1 Kings 22:19-23, where a spirit is depicted as appearing in the midst of the heavenly army and offering, at the Lord's invitation, to be a lying spirit in the mouth of Achab's false prophets.

We might, with Scholastics, explain this is malum poenae, which is actually caused by God owing to man's fault. A truer exegesis would, however, dwell on the purely imaginative tone of the whole episode; it is not so much the mould in which the message is cast as the actual tenor of that message which is meant to occupy our attention.

The picture afforded us in Job 1 and 2 is equally imaginative; but Satan, perhaps the earliest individualization of the fallen Angel, is presented as an intruder who is jealous of Job. He is clearly an inferior being to the Deity and can only touch Job with God's permission. How theologic thought advanced as the sum of revelation grew appears from a comparison of 2 Samuel 24:1, with 1 Chronicles 21:1. Whereas in the former passage David's sin was said to be due to "the wrath of the Lord" which "stirred up David", in the latter we read that "Satan moved David to number Israel". In Job 4:18, we seem to find a definite declaration of the fall: "In His angels He found wickedness."

The Septuagint of Job contains some instructive passages regarding avenging angels in whom we are perhaps to see fallen spirits, thus 33:23: "If a thousand death-dealing angels should be (against him) not one of them shall wound him"; and 36:14: "If their souls should perish in their youth (through rashness) yet their life shall be wounded by the angels"; and 21:15: "The riches unjustly accumulated shall be vomited up, an angel shall drag him out of his house;" cf. Proverbs 17:11; Psalm 34:5-6 and 77:49, and especially Ecclesiasticus 39:33, a text which, as far as can be gathered from the present state of the manuscript, was in the Hebrew original. In some of these passages, it is true, the angels may be regarded as avengers of God's justice without therefore being evil spirits.

In Zechariah 3:1-3, Satan is called the adversary who pleads before the Lord against Jesus the High Priest. Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 are for the Fathers the loci classici regarding the fall of Satan (cf. Tertullian, Against Marcion 2.10); and Our Lord Himself has given colour to this view by using the imagery of the latter passage when saying to His Apostles: "I saw Satan like lightning falling from heaven" (Luke 10:18).

In New Testament times the idea of the two spiritual kingdoms is clearly established. The devil is a fallen angel who in his fall has drawn multitudes of the heavenly host in his train.

Our Lord terms him "the Prince of this world" (John 14:30); he is the tempter of the human race and tries to involve them in his fall (Matthew 25:41; 2 Peter 2:4; Ephesians 6:12; 2 Corinthians 11:14; 12:7). Christian imagery of the devil as the dragon is mainly derived from the Apocalypse (9:11-15 and 12:7-9), where he is termed "the angel of the bottomless pit", "the dragon", "the old serpent", etc., and is represented as having actually been in combat with Archangel Michael. The similarity between scenes such as these and the early Babylonian accounts of the struggle between Merodach and the dragon Tiamat is very striking.

Whether we are to trace its origin to vague reminiscences of the mighty saurians which once people the earth is a moot question, but the curious reader may consult Bousett, "The Anti-Christ Legend" (tr. by Keane, London, 1896). The translator has prefixed to it an interesting discussion on the origin of the Babylonian Dragon-Myth.

The term "angel" in the Septuagint

We have had occasion to mention the Septuagint version more than once, and it may not be amiss to indicate a few passages where it is our only source of information regarding the angels. The best known passage is Isaiah 9:6, where the Septuagint gives the name of the Messias, as "the Angel of great Counsel".

We have already drawn attention to Job 20:15, where the Septuagint reads "Angel" instead of "God", and to 36:14, where there seems to be question of evil angels. In 9:7, Septuagint (B) adds: "He is the Hebrew (5:19) say of "Behemoth": "He is the beginning of the ways of God, he that made him shall make his sword to approach him", the Septuagint reads: "He is the beginning of God's creation, made for His Angels to mock at", and exactly the same remark is made about "Leviathan" (41:24).

We have already seen that the Septuagint generally renders the term "sons of God" by "angels", but in Deuteronomy 32:43, the Septuagint has an addition in which both terms appear: "Rejoice in Him all ye heavens, and adore Him all ye angels of God; rejoice ye nations with His people, and magnify Him all ye Sons of God."

Nor does the Septuagint merely give us these additional references to angels; it sometimes enables us to correct difficult passages concerning them in the Vulgate and Massoretic text. Thus the difficult Elim of MT in Job 41:17, which the Vulgate renders by "angels", becomes "wild beasts" in the Septuagint version.

The early ideas as to the personality of the various angelic appearances are, as we have seen, remarkably vague. At first the angels are regarded in quite an impersonal way (Genesis 16:7).

They are God's vice-regents and are often identified with the Author of their message (Genesis 48:15-16). But while we read of "the Angels of God" meeting Jacob (Genesis 32:1) we at other times read of one who is termed "the Angel of God" par excellence, e.g. Genesis 31:11.

It is true that, owing to the Hebrew idiom, this may mean no more than "an angel of God", and the Septuagint renders it with or without the article at will; yet the three visitors at Mambre seem to have been of different ranks, though St. Paul (Hebrews 13:2) regarded them all as equally angels; as the story in Genesis 13 develops, the speaker is always "the Lord". Thus in the account of the Angel of the Lord who visited Gideon (Judges 6), the visitor is alternately spoken of as "the Angel of the Lord" and as "the Lord". Similarly, in Judges 13, the Angel of the Lord appears, and both Manue and his wife exclaim: "We shall certainly die because we have seen God." This want of clearness is particularly apparent in the various accounts of the Angel of Exodus.

In Judges 6, just now referred to, the Septuagint is very careful to render the Hebrew "Lord" by "the Angel of the Lord"; but in the story of the Exodus it is the Lord who goes before them in the pillar of a cloud (Exodus 13:21), and the Septuagint makes no change (cf. also Numbers 14:14, and Nehemiah 9:7-20. Yet in Exodus 14:19, their guide is termed "the Angel of God".

When we turn to Exodus 33, where God is angry with His people for worshipping the golden calf, it is hard not to feel that it is God Himself who has hitherto been their guide, but who now refuses to accompany them any longer. God offers an angel instead, but at Moses's petition He says (14) "My face shall go before thee", which the Septuagint reads by autos though the following verse shows that this rendering is clearly impossible, for Moses objects: "If Thou Thyself dost not go before us, bring us not out of this place."

But what does God mean by "my face"? Is it possible that some angel of specially high rank is intended, as in Isaiah 63:9 (cf. Tobit 12:15)? May not this be what is meant by "the angel of God" (cf. Numbers 20:16)?

That a process of evolution in theological thought accompanied the gradual unfolding of God's revelation need hardly be said, but it is especially marked in the various views entertained regarding the person of the Giver of the Law.

The Massoretic text as well as the Vulgate of Exodus 3 and 19-20 clearly represent the Supreme Being as appearing to Moses in the bush and on Mount Sinai; but the Septuagint version, while agreeing that it was God Himself who gave the Law, yet makes it "the angel of the Lord" who appeared in the bush.

By New Testament times the Septuagint view has prevailed, and it is now not merely in the bush that the angel of the Lord, and not God Himself appears, but the angel is also the Giver of the Law (cf. Galatians 3:19; Hebrews 2:2; Acts 7:30). The person of "the angel of the Lord" finds a counterpart in the personification of Wisdom in the Sapiential books and in at least one passage (Zechariah 3:1) it seems to stand for that "Son of Man" whom Daniel (7:13) saw brought before "the Ancient of Days".

Zacharias says: "And the Lord showed me Jesus the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan stood on His right hand to be His adversary". Tertullian regards many of these passages as preludes to the Incarnation; as the Word of God adumbrating the sublime character in which He is one day to reveal Himself to men (cf. Against Praxeas 16; Against Marcion 2.27, 3.9, 1.10, 1.21-22).

It is possible, then, that in these confused views we can trace vague gropings after certain dogmatic truths regarding the Trinity, reminiscences perhaps of the early revelation of which the Protevangelium in Genesis 3 is but a relic. The earlier Fathers, going by the letter of the text, maintained that it was actually God Himself who appeared. He who appeared was called God and acted as God.

It was not unnatural then for Tertullian, as we have already seen, to regard such manifestations in the light of preludes to the Incarnation, and most of the Eastern Fathers followed the same line of thought. It was held as recently as 1851 by Vandenbroeck, "Dissertatio Theologica de Theophaniis sub Veteri Testamento" (Louvain).

But the great Latins, St. Jerome, St. Augustine, and St. Gregory the Great, held the opposite view, and the Scholastics as a body followed them. St. Augustine (Sermo vii, de Scripturis, P.G. V) when treating of the burning bush (Exodus 3) says: "That the same person who spoke to Moses should be deemed both the Lord and an angel of the Lord, is very hard to understand. It is a question which forbids any rash assertions but rather demands careful investigation . . .

Some maintain that he is called both the Lord and the angel of the Lord because he was Christ, indeed the prophet (Isaiah 9:6, Septuagint Version) clearly styles Christ the 'Angel of great Counsel.'"

The saint proceeds to show that such a view is tenable though we must be careful not to fall into Arianism in stating it. He points out, however, that if we hold that it was an angel who appeared, we must explain how he came to be called "the Lord," and he proceeds to show how this might be: "Elsewhere in the Bible when a prophet speaks it is yet said to be the Lord who speaks, not of course because the prophet is the Lord but because the Lord is in the prophet; and so in the same way when the Lord condescends to speak through the mouth of a prophet or an angel, it is the same as when he speaks by a prophet or apostle, and the angel is correctly termed an angel if we consider him himself, but equally correctly is he termed 'the Lord' because God dwells in him."

He concludes: "It is the name of the indweller, not of the temple."

And a little further on: "It seems to me that we shall most correctly say that our forefathers recognized the Lord in the angel," and he adduces the authority of the New Testament writers who clearly so understood it and yet sometimes allowed the same confusion of terms (cf. Hebrews 2:2, and Acts 7:31-33).

The saint discusses the same question even more elaborately, "In Heptateuchum," lib. vii, 54, P.G. III, 558. As an instance of how convinced some of the Fathers were in holding the opposite view, we may note Theodoret's words (In Exod.): "The whole passage (Exodus 3) shows that it was God who appeared to him. But (Moses) called Him an angel in order to let us know that it was not God the Father whom he saw -- for whose angel could the Father be? -- but the Only-begotten Son, the Angel of great Counsel" (cf. Eusebius, Church History I.2.7; St. Irenaeus, Against Heresies 3:6).

But the view propounded by the Latin Fathers was destined to live in the Church, and the Scholastics reduced it to a system (cf. St. Thomas, Quaest., Disp., De Potentia, vi, 8, ad 3am); and for a very good exposition of both sides of the question, cf. "Revue biblique," 1894, 232-247.

Angels in Babylonian literature

The Bible has shown us that a belief in angels, or spirits intermediate between God and man, is a characteristic of the Semitic people. It is therefore interesting to trace this belief in the Semites of Babylonia.

According to Sayce (The Religions of Ancient Egypt and Babylonia, Gifford Lectures, 1901), the engrafting of Semitic beliefs on the earliest Sumerian religion of Babylonia is marked by the entrance of angels or sukallin in their theosophy. Thus we find an interesting parallel to "the angels of the Lord" in Nebo, "the minister of Merodach" (ibid., 355). He is also termed the "angel" or interpreter of the will or Merodach (ibid., 456), and Sayce accepts Hommel's statement that it can be shown from the Minean inscriptions that primitive Semitic religion consisted of moon and star worship, the moon-god Athtar and an "angel" god standing at the head of the pantheon (ibid., 315).

The Biblical conflict between the kingdoms of good and evil finds its parallel in the "spirits of heaven" or the Igigi--who constituted the "host" of which Ninip was the champion (and from who he received the title of "chief of the angels") and the "spirits of the earth", or Annuna-Ki, who dwelt in Hades (ibid. 355). The Babylonian sukalli corresponded to the spirit-messengers of the Bible; they declared their Lord's will and executed his behests (ibid., 361). Some of them appear to have been more than messengers; they were the interpreters and vicegerents of the supreme deity, thus Nebo is "the prophet of Borsippa".

These angels are even termed "the sons" of the deity whose vicegerents they are; thus Ninip, at one time the messenger of En-lil, is transformed into his son just as Merodach becomes the son of Ea (ibid., 496).

The Babylonian accounts of the Creation and the Flood do not contrast very favourably with the Biblical accounts, and the same must be said of the chaotic hierarchies of gods and angels which modern research has revealed. perhaps we are justified in seeing all forms of religion vestiges of a primitive nature-worship which has at times succeeded in debasing the purer revelation, and which, where that primitive revelation has not received successive increments as among the Hebrews, results in an abundant crop of weeds.

Thus the Bible certainly sanctions the idea of certain angels being in charge of special districts (cf. Daniel 10, and above). This belief persists in a debased form in the Arab notion of Genii, or Jinns, who haunt particular spots.

A reference to it is perhaps to be found in Genesis 32:1-2: "Jacob also went on the journey he had begun: and the angels of God met him: And when he saw then he said: These are the camps of God, and he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, 'Camps.'" Recent explorations in the Arab district about Petra have revealed certain precincts marked off with stones as the abiding-laces of angels, and the nomad tribes frequent them for prayer and sacrifice.

These places bear a name which corresponds exactly with the "Mahanaim" of the above passage in Genesis (cf. Lagrange, Religions Semitques, 184, and Robertson Smith, Religion of the Semites, 445). Jacob's vision at Bethel (Genesis 28:12) may perhaps come under the same category. Suffice it to say that not everything in the Bible is revelation, and that the object of the inspired writings is not merely to tell us new truths but also to make clearer certain truths taught us by nature.

The modern view, which tends to regard everything Babylonian as absolutely primitive and which seems to think that because critics affix a late date to the Biblical writings the religion therein contained must also be late, may be seen in Haag, "Theologie Biblique" (339). This writer sees in the Biblical angels only primitive deities debased into demi-gods by the triumphant progress of Monotheism.

Angels in the Zend-Avesta

Attempts have also been made to trace a connection between the angels of the Bible and the "great archangels" or "Amesha-Spentas" of the Zend-Avesta.

That the Persian domination and the Babylonian captivity exerted a large influence upon the Hebrew conception of the angels is acknowledged in the Talmud of Jerusalem, Rosch Haschanna, 56, where it is said that the names of the angels were introduced from Babylon. It is, however, by no means clear that the angelic beings who figure so largely in the pages of the Avesta are to be referred to the older Persian Neo-Zoroastrianism of the Sassanides.

If this be the case, as Darmesteter holds, we should rather reverse the position and attribute the Zoroastrian angels to the influence of the Bible and of Philo. Stress has been laid upon the similarity between the Biblical "seven who stand before God" and the seven Amesha-Spentas of the Zend-Avesta.

But it must be noted that these latter are really six, the number seven is only obtained by counting "their father, Ahura-Mazda," among them as their chief. Moreover, these Zoroastrian archangels are more abstract that concrete; they are not individuals charged with weighty missions as in the Bible.

Angels in the New Testament

Hitherto we have dwelt almost exclusively on the angels of the Old Testament, whose visits and messages have been by no means rare; but when we come to the New Testament their name appears on every page and the number of references to them equals those in the Old Dispensation.

It is their privilege to announce to Zachary and Mary the dawn of Redemption, and to the shepherds its actual accomplishment. Our Lord in His discourses talks of them as one who actually saw them, and who, whilst "conversing amongst men", was yet receiving the silent unseen adoration of the hosts of heaven.

He describes their life in heaven (Matthew 22:30; Luke 20:36); He tell us how they form a bodyguard round Him and at a word from Him would avenge Him on His enemies (Matthew 26:53); it is the privilege of one of them to assist Him in His Agony and sweat of Blood.

More than once He speaks of them as auxiliaries and witnesses at the final judgment (Matthew 16:27), which indeed they will prepare (13:39-49); and lastly, they are the joyous witnesses of His triumphant Resurrection (28:2).

It is easy for skeptical minds to see in these angelic hosts the mere play of Hebrew fancy and the rank growth of superstition, but do not the records of the angels who figure in the Bible supply a most natural and harmonious progression?

In the opening page of the sacred story of the Jewish nation is chose out from amongst others as the depositary of God's promise; as the people from whose stock He would one day raise up a Redeemer. The angels appear in the course of this chosen people's history, now as God's messengers, now as that people's guides; at one time they are the bestowers of God's law, at another they actually prefigure the Redeemer Whose divine purpose they are helping to mature.

They converse with His prophets, with David and Elias, with Daniel and Zacharias; they slay the hosts camped against Israel, they serve as guides to God's servants, and the last prophet, Malachi, bears a name of peculiar significance; "the Angel of Jehovah." He seems to sum up in his very name the previous "ministry by the hands of angels", as though God would thus recall the old-time glories of the Exodus and Sinai.

The Septuagint, indeed, seems not to know his name as that of an individual prophet and its rendering of the opening verse of his prophecy is peculiarly solemn: "The burden of the Word of the Lord of Israel by the hand of His angel; lay it up in your hearts." All this loving ministry on the part of the angels is solely for the sake of the Saviour, on Whose face they desire to look.

Hence when the fullness of time was arrived it is they who bring the glad message, and sing "Gloria in excelsis Deo". They guide the newborn King of Angels in His hurried flight into Egypt, and minister to Him in the desert.

His second coming and the dire events that must precede that, are revealed to His chosen servant in the island of Patmos, It is a question of revelation again, and consequently its ministers and messengers of old appear once more in the sacred story and the record of God's revealing love ends fittingly almost as it had begun: "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches"

(Revelation 22:16). It is easy for the student to trace the influence of surrounding nations and of other religions in the Biblical account of the angels. Indeed it is needful and instructive to do so, but it would be wrong to shut our eyes to the higher line of development which we have shown and which brings out so strikingly the marvellous unity and harmony of the whole divine story of the Bible.

DEVOTIONS AND PRAYERS FOR THE LITURGICAL CHURCHES AND ALL OTHER CHRISTIANS WHO SO DESIRE(Including Lutheran, Episcopalian, Anglican, and members in the Mystical Body of Christ –All Christianity combined):

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

WHAT IS A BLACK SAINT, SINCE CHRISTIANITY CAME FROM AFRICA, NOT TO IT! We include here stories, legends, and myths of the black saints. Companion volumes (Black Saints Narratives, Writings of the Black Saints), cover a more comprehensive examination of the lives of these and other holy folk. Now in the cultural anthropologic sense, the word myth does not mean fiction. Oral and historical traditions show a different reading. Those following cultural anthropology templates (folklore) should be able to glean the kernels of "truth” hidden in the ether of time. In this first volume, we primarily focus on the African East coast and Northern areas (Kemet, Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, Cush, Abysinnia, the Mauretanias, Libya, and what now is Algeria. These areas proved to be the base of the Ancient African Church in the first 599 years, anno domini. Other volumes will contain additional areas, materials, for example, 600 A.D. to the modern era, as well as the annals, writings, and narratives of the Black Saints, Mystics, and Holy Folk. Those not brothers and sisters, SKIP THIS PART! An old Black adage reports, “your friends don’t need an explanation, and your enemies won’t believe it ‘no way’”. (Not that any readers are enemies, but brothers and sisters know my meaning). So how do we know the saints and companions are Black (instead of just African)? In these pages, we used the age-old American test. Notwithstanding the legal examination (the “One drop rule”) we asked, “How would the inclusion candidate, and his or her companions fare in the American South in 1930s, segregation Mississippi, walking into a Ku Klux Klan rally?) Or Would the saint, mystic, and companions need an identity card in South Africa from the late 1940s to the early 21st century? We also used the “birds of a feather” paradigm. What would happen to those “not black,” associating in the perilous times of martyrdom with those who were? Still, some listed here aren’t ethnically black (unless you count HB Leakey’s discoveries that modern man (Homo Sapiens Sapien)-- the one drop rule-- walked out of Africa million(s) of years ago). Black they are, nevertheless. The American South had a name for them. Presumably, South Africans in the 1940s to 1990s held like epithets. So we include them. They helped lift up the Kingdom of God among Africans, and the descendants of the historical and geologic African Diasporas. These are reckoned among the “holy folk”. Genesis of the Work This writer tired of Western American church racism. Still extant but now waning in this 21st century, we tired of feeling we did not belong. We tired of being psychologically unwilling or unable to receive Blood of Christ in Holy Eucharist without fear that some third- worlder would frown in disdain and refuse to drink afterwards. Further, watching a music awards called Grammys one 1980s night, one prominent Black artist thanked the crowd for “teaching us about Jesus!” I nearly fell out of my chair. Christianity came out of Africa, not to it! As did Yeshua—the Christ, Jesus. “That what was said through the prophet might be fulfilled, ‘Out of Egypt I called my son’”. But we disparage no one’s (group, heritage, and ethnicity) involvement in the faith tradition. We desired, however, the little ones singing, “Yes, Jesus loves me!” included those with melanin. These need the knowledge of their historical involvement in The Way--the people of God of. Hence, this book. In some instances, calendar dates differ while the saint may be the same. Changes in the calendars of the Latin, Byzantine, Coptic, Russian, or Greek rites (Orthodox) caused this. And some dates are approximate, due to the differences in the Latin Rite, Russian, Greek, and Roman, AND Western interpretations/translations of those calendars. Again, under the “birds of a feather” model,we took names without dates from tombs sources, authorities, references to other saints in Africa, Kemet, and environs. Some duplicates appear due to name spellings. Others may be different entities, altogether. Also, acclamation determined the saints in all the early church. Devotions arose for this or that holy person or martyr. As this is remains a work in progress—we’ve found hundreds of saints we have as yet to include. And should the reader find any grammatical or other errors, please let us know at stbernice@yahoo.com. God will bless you all. Author’s note and caveat: With Yeshua’s averment, “I am the vine, you are the branches…” (John 15:5), this writer submits that Christ Jesus knew His church would splinter. Indeed, even Judaism had previously split into segments of Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essennes. Each manifested subdivisions in practice, depending in what continent/territory believers found themselves. Since there were 12 working apostles plus 1, and disciples sent by Yeshua, and disciples of the apostles, themselves--inevitably, different church branches, rites, traditions grew. This book—and following volumes- seeks to include all the saints discoverable, without the Western Church shenanigans of who follows whom. By way of background, the writer belongs to the African root of the Latin rite in the Oriental Church. But he reminds the reader (by way of example and not limitation), that not only is there an Archbishop of Canterbury, as well as the the Chief priest and Archbishop in the Eternal City, but there also exists Pope Shenouda II (as of this writing)-as well as their Holinesses Alexis and Bartholomew, and others administering branches of Yeshua’s universal Church. The writer, Tielhard de Chardin, said years ago that the Church was in involution, slowly re-combining as Yeshua so desired in the beginning. The foolishness of “who is and who ain’t” Christian or “Christian enough” won’t be found here. The reformation is over! (And the then dormant African Church wasn’t a part of it, anyway).

Fr Doucette - Mon, Dec 22, 2008: "Do not delay"

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE

"Do not delay"

Monday, December 22, 2008 Dear Friends,

The Canticle of Mary

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, remembering his mercy,
According to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham
And to his descendants forever. Luke 1:46?55

 

 

Here is another message from Our Lord addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, At the visitation of Her cousin Elizabeth and all the wonderful things that happened there as She arrived, She was filled with joy and She sang Her beautiful canticle, which is called the Magnificat.

She exults in God, Her Savior, and She proclaims His greatness. She is very humble as She considers Herself a handmaid but She knows that She will be called blessed forever. God the Father has done great things for Her by choosing Her to be My Mother. The Father is merciful to the humble people but He will send away those filled with pride. He is always ready to help His people, Israel.

This is a great teaching for all of you. Imitate your Blessed Mother in Her faith, Her love and in Her joy. Always be humble before the Father and He will fill you with many good things. Offer yourself totally to Him and repent of all your sins and He will show you mercy. I came among you at Christmas to show you our great mercy and love. Do not delay, come and accept our mercy and we will live in your heart.

Father Melvin

Important Message to littlest of servants December 20, 2008

While in Church this morning after receiving HOLY COMMUNION I received the following very important message from JESUS.

JESUS told me how much HE LOVES US. That we are truly HIS little children and when we receive HIM in HOLY COMMUNION HE sweeps us off our feet and holds us tightly in HIS MOST LOVING ARMS.

That just as a loving father holds his children in his arms it is the same except the love that HE has for us is a million times a million times a million times a million times and HIS VOICE TRAILED OFF repeating it over and over again, that of a human father.

That if HE was to allow us to feel the full extent of HIS LOVE FOR US OUR HEARTS WOULD BURST FROM HAPPINESS. That HIS LOVE FOR US would overwhelm OUR HEARTS and we would die from HAPPINESS.

That is why HE shields us from the full extent of HIS LOVE after we receive HIM IN HOLY COMMUNION. We have an assignment from HIM to complete before we can go home to HIS LOVE. HE waits in the BLESSED SACRAMENT for us to receive HIM, to visit HIM, to adore HIM so that we will receive the LOVE AND STRENGTH that only HE CAN GIVE, so that we can complete the assignment given to us. It is when our assignment is complete (when we die) that our HEARTS and SOULS will feel the FULL EXTENT OF HIS LOVE.

Mother of Perpetual Light December 19,2008

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

FOR THESE TIMES YOU WERE CHOSEN

YOU WILL SOON SEE THE EARTH LIKE YOU HAVE NOT BEFORE;
THIS ALL MUST COME TO PASS SO THIS LAND GOD CAN RESTORE.
THE EARTH WILL BE SCORCHED BEFORE RE-CREATION BEGINS
SO THAT THE LAND WOULD BE FREE FROM TEMPTATIONS AND SINS.

ALTHOUGH YOUR NAMES ARE NOT LISTED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION,
YOU WERE CHOSEN BY GOD DURING THIS TIME OF TRIBULATION.
GOD’S PLAN AT THIS TIME YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND,
BUT YOU WILL WHEN YOU ENTER INTO THE NEW PROMISED LAND.

IN THE MEANTIME, DEAR CHILDREN, THERE ARE CROSSES TO BEAR
TO HELP PAVE THE WAY TOWARDS THE LAND YOU WILL SHARE.
THE CROSSES AT TIMES WILL BE HARD TO ENDURE,
BUT EACH CROSS IS NOW NEEDED TO HELP MAKE THIS LAND PURE.
YOU ASK WHY THE BURDENS ARE ON THOSE WHO NOW PRAY

AND NOT ON THE ONES WHO STILL GOD DISOBEY.
HOW CAN GOD, MY DEAR CHILDREN, ON THE OTHERS RELY
IF THEY CARE NOT WHERE THEIR SOULS MAY END UP WHEN THEY DIE?

LOOK BACK NOT, DEAR CHILDREN, AT WHAT YOU LEFT BEHIND,
BUT LOOK FOR THE RAINBOW WHERE GOD’S TREASURES YOU’LL FIND.
GOD CHOSE YOU, MY DEAR CHILDREN, FOR THIS TIME OF THE END
SO WHEN NEW EDEN’S READY, YOU’LL BE THERE TO ATTEND.

THY WILL BE DONE 12-19-2008

Message IMMACULATE HEART to littlest of servants December 21, 2008

JESUS OF THE TWO HEARTS

Message to Victoria Spalding for the 19th/Healing Service/ Immaculate Heart of Mary Church

Words of Our Lady (taken by Victoria Spalding, SFO) December 19, 2008

My children, I come here tonight as your loving Mother and as your example of obedience to the Father. The Father loves each one of you, my dear children, and so He is sending me to you to make known His mercy and love.

Each time one of you comes to my Son, looking for His mercy and forgiveness, the Father showers you with His blessings from above. So do not be afraid this Advent to come looking for the babe, who saved you, and who redeemed you from your sins.

He awaits you in utmost poverty and abjection, so that you may comfort His soul and give Him glory everlasting, by your repentance in your heart. For each time, one of you comes to my Son, in the hopes of being redeemed by His grace, He gives you not only glory everlasting, but God, Himself.

Therefore, my dear children, do not delay in purposefully coming to my Son this Advent and Christmas, so that you may give my Son the praise and glory that is due the Father for all eternity. For in honoring my Son, you honor the Father, who has made you and called you to be His very own children. And in this manner, my dear children, you will inherit life eternal.

I love you, my dear children. Come closer to the Father’s love for you, by repenting of your sins and believing in my Son, Jesus Christ.

I am with you, my dear people. Go in the comfort and peace of your God.

REFLECTION

MARY is the GREATEST example of obedience and humility we can have, next to Jesus. Everything that Our Lady does she does out of obedience to the Father and out of love for her Son and for us. And her main role as our Mother is to point us in the direction of her Son, who in turn, leads us to the Father.

OUR LADY IS SO HUMBLE THAT EVEN WHEN SHE ACCEPTED THE ANGEL’S INVITATION TO BECOME THE MOTHER OF GOD, SHE DID NOT BOAST ABOUT HERSELF. INSTEAD SHE SPOKE IN THE MAGNIFICAT OF HER NOTHINGNESS.

Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant" Luke 1:46

In this message, Our Lady is pointing to her Son, who came to us, as she said, in utmost poverty and abjection. When I think of Jesus being born in a stable, I think of Him as being born in the first homeless shelter. And that is where God dwells, among the poor and the lowly.

You see, for God to be born as a man, was an infinite humiliation in itself, even if God had been born in a palace and laid upon cushions of gold. But Our God loved us so much that He went even further than that.

He chose to be born in a cave, and laid in the rudest of cribs, to show us that the world was poor and in need of a Savior. Jesus also knew that we would be tempted by worldly possessions, and that it would be hard for us to become poor in spirit, unless He provided the way.

Jesus once said to me:

I CAME WITH NOTHING AND I LEFT WITH NOTHING.

And this is how we will leave this earth also. The only thing we will take with us when we leave is what we give away.

As Franciscans, we pray the Franciscan Crown Rosary, consisting of seven Joyful mysteries. The third mystery is the Birth of Jesus. I’d like to close with a meditation from Our Lady that she gave me, regarding this mystery. (Taken from the book, Mother of Light and Humility)

THIRD JOYFUL MYSTERY

Mary speaks:

When I was about to give birth, my Savior was foremost in my mind. I wondered how I would hold Him and tell Him how much I loved Him. Joseph was beside me through it all, as my Savior did not wish for me to be alone.

Remember how much God wishes to use you to bring His love to others. St. Joseph will be beside you also, if you wish to give birth to Jesus in your hearts. It is only by saying yes to the will of the Father, that you can bear witness of Him to others.

Call upon the Christ Child more, when you need to remember how painful it is to be humiliated. Christ’s infinite humiliation was not that He was born in a manger, but that He would be forgotten by many!

My children, do not forget the Christ Child, who has redeemed you and given birth to your hearts, so that you may live in utmost poverty while on earth, in order that you may enjoy the extreme riches of eternal glory.

Let us pray: Lord, help us to resemble your mercy, so that we may live in obedience and humility all the days of our life! Amen

Message to Eileen Renders December 21, 2008

Hope you are taking comfort in this holy week and enjoying your family? I am guilty I confess, that I have not pondered much in my life about my guardian angel until today. I asked Jesus about my guardian angel, and as you know, I rarely ask Jesus questions, but only listen.

His answer is important to all of us. Please pass along this letter to you, as well as Jesus' message as I want everyone to ponder their guardian angels and work toward a relationship with our guardian angel as Mary Our Blessed Mother of Jesus did.

God bless and a joyful holy season to all!

Invoking The Guidance of our Guardian Angel

Today my husband and I attended our usual 8:00 A.M. Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows where I made humble offerings to Jesus and Mary and remembered in prayer all those with special needs and intentions.

Our priest had a beautiful message regarding Our Blessed Mother's visit from the Guardian Angel Gabriel who told her that she had been chosen to become the Mother of Jesus. Father John relayed to us how her acceptance and surrender of God's will is also a reminder to all of us to accept God's will each day and surrender ourselves to Him. In preparing to receive Holy Communion, I prayed an Act Of Contrition and began to wonder exactly who my guardian angel is.

After receiving the most sacred body and blood of Christ in the sacrament of Holy Communion, I knelt in silent commune with Jesus. I thanked Him for His many blessings and I asked Him to please come into my heart. I again surrendered my will to Him and quietly asked who my guardian angel is. Then I prayed, Speak Lord (if it be Your will), Your servant listens.

Jesus responded to my heart saying, Eileen My child, Lepidus is your guardian angel. He in life was an ancient soldier, a warrior! It is important to acknowledge your guardian angel each day who is always beside you to protect you. Ask your guardian angel to guide you and lead you always on the path that is God's will for you. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

Now I will be researching about my guardian angel, Lepidus. Initially what I have learned is that he, Marcus Aemillius Lepidus came after the death of Julius Caesar, he supported Mark Anthony and was joined by Anthony in Gaul after the defeat of Mutina (modern Modena). In 43 BC they formed the Second Triumvirate with Octavian (Agustus).

After the battle of Phillippi (42 BC), Lepidus received the governorship of Africa, whence he returned (36 BC) to conquer Sicily. Octavian suspected him of trying to keep Sicily for himself and deprived him of his offices, except that of pontifex maximus.

"Dear children! Today I am with you in a special way, holding little Jesus in my lap and I invite you, little children, to open yourselves to His call. He calls you to joy. Little children, joyfully live the messages of the Gospel, which I am repeating in the time since I am with you.

Little children, I am your Mother and I desire to reveal to you the God of love and the God of peace. I do not desire for your life to be in sadness but that it be realized in joy for eternity, according to the Gospel. Only in this way will your life have meaning. Thank you for having responded to my call."

The Birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ:

"Jesus, what made You so small? LOVE!" -St. Bernard of Clairvaux

"Today the Magi gaze in deep wonder at what they see: heaven on earth, earth in heaven, man in God, God in man,

One Whom the whole universe cannot contain now enclosed in a tiny body." -St Peter Chrysologus

"How great is God's goodness, how deep His love for us! Let us join the shepherds in giving glory to God: TODAY A SAVIOR HAS BEEN BORN TO US. HE IS CHRIST THE LORD." -St. Basil the Great

While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign... Energy efficient vehicle. Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust.

Mother Teresa -

Thanks be to God for your families. Try to find room for God in your families. If you are capable of bringing prayer back into your homes, you will be equally capable of overcoming all of the hardships that afflict the world.

Meditations by Padre Pio - Faith also guides us and we follow securely in its light the way which leads to God, His homeland, just as the Holy Magi, guided by the star, symbol of faith, reached the desired place.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Self-expression often lacks self-restraint

"Leaving to the medical profession those who are suffering from functional and organic disturbances, which affect the mind, our problem is to inquire into the reason for the many marginal or fringe cases of mental instability.

Coming quickly to the point, it appears to be this: Our generation has been raised on the idea of "self-expression," which being translated negatively, means there should never be any self-restraint.

Every desire and impulse, which satisfies the ego, is considered good, any form of self-denial, or repression of biological urges, is considered as harmful to the personality. The ego is flattered and pampered, even to a point where children are raised on the theory that they should never be disciplined, much less punished or reprimanded for their selfishness."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - November 30, 1936. During Vespers today, an unusual pain pierced my soul. I see that, in every respect, this work is beyond my strength. I am a little child before the immensity of the task, and it is only at the Lord's clear command that I am setting about to carry it out.

On the other hand, even these great graces are a burden for me, and I am barely able to carry them. I see my superiors' disbelief and doubts of all kinds and, for this reason, their apprehensive behavior towards me. My Jesus, I see that even such great graces can be [a source of] suffering.

And yet, it is so; not only may they be a cause of suffering, but they must be such, as a sign of God's action. I understand well that if God himself did not strengthen the soul in these various ordeals, the soul would not be able to master the situation. Thus God Himself is its shield.

As I continued Vespers, meditating on this mixture of suffering and grace, I heard the voice of Our Lady: Know, My daughter, that although I was raised to the dignity of Mother of God, seven swords of pain pierced my heart. Don't do anything to defend yourself; bear everything with humility; God himself will defend you. (786)

I will spend this Advent in accordance with the directions of the Mother of God: in meekness and humility. (792)

Dear children, I would like all you to be like flowers, which will open at Christmas for Jesus, flowers which will not cease to blossom after Christmas. Be the good shepherds of Jesus (First Years Dec 21, 1984).

The Blessed Mother uses the beautiful analogy of a flower to express the blossoming of virtues and good works in the life of the believer.

St. Paul, too, takes up this theme in his letter to the Church of Rome; he urges his people to blossom in fraternal love and the kindness this implies:

Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another; do not claim to be wiser than you are.

Do not repay anymore evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceable with all (Rom 12:13-18).

Reflection:

The virtues that Paul speaks of are of course the fruits of the Holy Spirit, poured forth by God on all who ask with sincere and open hearts. These same gifts are the very qualities that enable us to be, as Our Lady says today, "be good shepherds of Jesus". And as shepherds, we are called to use the gifts of the Spirit in the service of others. The gifts we have received are many. To acknowledge them, to pray for their increase, and to share them with others, is the challenge and promise of our readings today.

Application: In prayer, acknowledge a gift or virtue you have been given, and actually use it for the benefit of someone today. For example, the gift of compassion can be expressed in a visit or phone call to one who is lonely or sick.

Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 22 - DO SOMETHING CONCRETE December 19, 1985

"Dear children! Today I wish to call you to love of neighbor. The more you will to love your neighbour, the more you shall experience Jesus especially on Christmas Day. God will bestow great gifts on you if you surrender yourselves to Him. I wish in a special way on Christmas Day to give mothers my own special motherly blessing, and Jesus will bless the rest with His own blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Thank you for having responded to my call." "Let us follow the star of inspiration and divine attraction which calls us to the crib, and let us go thither to adore and love the Child Jesus and offer ourselves to him" (St. Jane Frances de Chantal). O Come let us adore Him, Jesus, Our Eucharistic Lord!

"Were my eyes to see You come down,
they would cease to weep.
Rain Him down, you clouds—
The One Whom earth has longed for.
Earth, you have given us only thorns.
Be open now and bring forth
the only flower
in which you yourself may flourish."
"This living spring that I long for,
I see in this bread of life."
(Excerpts from the writings of St. John of the Cross)

A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him in front of the service station. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump. "Reverend," said the young man, "sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip." The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean; same in my business."

Mother Teresa - What greater love is there than God's love for each one of us? His love isn't a fantasy. It is real.

Meditations by Padre Pio - May the Child Jesus be your guiding star in the desert of this present life.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Is the stepchild of modern civilization crazed? "Human beings have always taken for granted that there would be in their midst a few unfortunate individuals whose mental outlook would be warped and unpredictable. But what is disturbing today is the number of otherwise normal people who, in popular language, are "cracking up."

Some are young, otherwise happily married; others are in middle life, with apparent security, but regardless of the age group, as a good American psychiatrist wrote, `Mental cases are the stepchild of modern civilization.'"

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - November 29, 1936. The Mother of God has taught me how to prepare for the Feast of Christmas. I saw her today, without the Infant Jesus. She said to me: My daughter, strive after silence and humility, so that Jesus, who dwells in your heart continuously, may be able to rest.

Adore Him in your heart; do not go out from your inmost being. My daughter, I shall obtain for you the grace of an interior life which will be such that, without ever leaving that interior life, you will be able to carry out all your external duties with even greater care. Dwell with Him continuously in your own heart. He will be your strength. Communicate with creatures only insofar as is necessary and is required by your duties.

You are a dwelling place pleasing to the living God; in you He dwells continuously with love and delight. And the living presence of God, which you experience in a more vivid and distinct way, will confirm you, my daughter, in the things I have told you. Try to act in this way until Christmas Day, and then He himself will make known to you in what way you will be communing and uniting yourself with Him. (785)

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.

Dec 22 - DO SOMETHING CONCRETE

On this day in Advent, the Madonna called her children to prayer and to works of charity: Dear children, tonight your Mother calls you to prayer during these two days before Christmas. Open your hearts through your prayer and let us keep vigil together for the day of great joy. Dear children, I wish you to decide to do something concrete during these two days (Visionary Prayer Group Dec 22, 1989).

And in Luke's gospel, the Good Samaritan puts his faith into concrete action:

But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him (Lk 10:33-34).

Reflection: Faith and works of charity go hand in hand in the Christian life. "As the flower is before the fruit", writes Richard Whately, "so is faith before good works". Indeed, Christ emphasizes that they will be the criteria for the last judgment:

"Come…inherit the kingdom prepared for you; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing…" (Mt 25:34-35).

Application: "Dear children", Our Lady says today, "I wish you to decide to do something concrete during these two days". In compliance with this message, plan several works of charity you can accomplish in the near future.

SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH

"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."

Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.

Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails. Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

DEVOTIONS AND PRAYERS FOR THE LITURGICAL CHURCHES AND ALL OTHER CHRISTIANS WHO SO DESIRE(Including Lutheran, Episcopalian, Anglican, and members in the Mystical Body of Christ –All Christianity combined):

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

WHAT IS A BLACK SAINT, SINCE CHRISTIANITY CAME FROM AFRICA, NOT TO IT! We include here stories, legends, and myths of the black saints. Companion volumes (Black Saints Narratives, Writings of the Black Saints), cover a more comprehensive examination of the lives of these and other holy folk. Now in the cultural anthropologic sense, the word myth does not mean fiction. Oral and historical traditions show a different reading. Those following cultural anthropology templates (folklore) should be able to glean the kernels of "truth” hidden in the ether of time. In this first volume, we primarily focus on the African East coast and Northern areas (Kemet, Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, Cush, Abysinnia, the Mauretanias, Libya, and what now is Algeria. These areas proved to be the base of the Ancient African Church in the first 599 years, anno domini. Other volumes will contain additional areas, materials, for example, 600 A.D. to the modern era, as well as the annals, writings, and narratives of the Black Saints, Mystics, and Holy Folk. Those not brothers and sisters, SKIP THIS PART! An old Black adage reports, “your friends don’t need an explanation, and your enemies won’t believe it ‘no way’”. (Not that any readers are enemies, but brothers and sisters know my meaning). So how do we know the saints and companions are Black (instead of just African)? In these pages, we used the age-old American test. Notwithstanding the legal examination (the “One drop rule”) we asked, “How would the inclusion candidate, and his or her companions fare in the American South in 1930s, segregation Mississippi, walking into a Ku Klux Klan rally?) Or Would the saint, mystic, and companions need an identity card in South Africa from the late 1940s to the early 21st century? We also used the “birds of a feather” paradigm. What would happen to those “not black,” associating in the perilous times of martyrdom with those who were? Still, some listed here aren’t ethnically black (unless you count HB Leakey’s discoveries that modern man (Homo Sapiens Sapien)-- the one drop rule-- walked out of Africa million(s) of years ago). Black they are, nevertheless. The American South had a name for them. Presumably, South Africans in the 1940s to 1990s held like epithets. So we include them. They helped lift up the Kingdom of God among Africans, and the descendants of the historical and geologic African Diasporas. These are reckoned among the “holy folk”. Genesis of the Work This writer tired of Western American church racism. Still extant but now waning in this 21st century, we tired of feeling we did not belong. We tired of being psychologically unwilling or unable to receive Blood of Christ in Holy Eucharist without fear that some third- worlder would frown in disdain and refuse to drink afterwards. Further, watching a music awards called Grammys one 1980s night, one prominent Black artist thanked the crowd for “teaching us about Jesus!” I nearly fell out of my chair. Christianity came out of Africa, not to it! As did Yeshua—the Christ, Jesus. “That what was said through the prophet might be fulfilled, ‘Out of Egypt I called my son’”. But we disparage no one’s (group, heritage, and ethnicity) involvement in the faith tradition. We desired, however, the little ones singing, “Yes, Jesus loves me!” included those with melanin. These need the knowledge of their historical involvement in The Way--the people of God of. Hence, this book. In some instances, calendar dates differ while the saint may be the same. Changes in the calendars of the Latin, Byzantine, Coptic, Russian, or Greek rites (Orthodox) caused this. And some dates are approximate, due to the differences in the Latin Rite, Russian, Greek, and Roman, AND Western interpretations/translations of those calendars. Again, under the “birds of a feather” model,we took names without dates from tombs sources, authorities, references to other saints in Africa, Kemet, and environs. Some duplicates appear due to name spellings. Others may be different entities, altogether. Also, acclamation determined the saints in all the early church. Devotions arose for this or that holy person or martyr. As this is remains a work in progress—we’ve found hundreds of saints we have as yet to include. And should the reader find any grammatical or other errors, please let us know at stbernice@yahoo.com. God will bless you all. Author’s note and caveat: With Yeshua’s averment, “I am the vine, you are the branches…” (John 15:5), this writer submits that Christ Jesus knew His church would splinter. Indeed, even Judaism had previously split into segments of Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essennes. Each manifested subdivisions in practice, depending in what continent/territory believers found themselves. Since there were 12 working apostles plus 1, and disciples sent by Yeshua, and disciples of the apostles, themselves--inevitably, different church branches, rites, traditions grew. This book—and following volumes- seeks to include all the saints discoverable, without the Western Church shenanigans of who follows whom. By way of background, the writer belongs to the African root of the Latin rite in the Oriental Church. But he reminds the reader (by way of example and not limitation), that not only is there an Archbishop of Canterbury, as well as the the Chief priest and Archbishop in the Eternal City, but there also exists Pope Shenouda II (as of this writing)-as well as their Holinesses Alexis and Bartholomew, and others administering branches of Yeshua’s universal Church. The writer, Tielhard de Chardin, said years ago that the Church was in involution, slowly re-combining as Yeshua so desired in the beginning. The foolishness of “who is and who ain’t” Christian or “Christian enough” won’t be found here. The reformation is over! (And the then dormant African Church wasn’t a part of it, anyway).

Fr Doucette - Mon, Dec 22, 2008: "Do not delay"

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE

"Do not delay"

Monday, December 22, 2008 Dear Friends,

The Canticle of Mary

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, remembering his mercy,
According to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham
And to his descendants forever. Luke 1:46?55

 

 

Here is another message from Our Lord addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, At the visitation of Her cousin Elizabeth and all the wonderful things that happened there as She arrived, She was filled with joy and She sang Her beautiful canticle, which is called the Magnificat.

She exults in God, Her Savior, and She proclaims His greatness. She is very humble as She considers Herself a handmaid but She knows that She will be called blessed forever. God the Father has done great things for Her by choosing Her to be My Mother. The Father is merciful to the humble people but He will send away those filled with pride. He is always ready to help His people, Israel.

This is a great teaching for all of you. Imitate your Blessed Mother in Her faith, Her love and in Her joy. Always be humble before the Father and He will fill you with many good things. Offer yourself totally to Him and repent of all your sins and He will show you mercy. I came among you at Christmas to show you our great mercy and love. Do not delay, come and accept our mercy and we will live in your heart.

Father Melvin

Important Message to littlest of servants December 20, 2008

While in Church this morning after receiving HOLY COMMUNION I received the following very important message from JESUS.

JESUS told me how much HE LOVES US. That we are truly HIS little children and when we receive HIM in HOLY COMMUNION HE sweeps us off our feet and holds us tightly in HIS MOST LOVING ARMS.

That just as a loving father holds his children in his arms it is the same except the love that HE has for us is a million times a million times a million times a million times and HIS VOICE TRAILED OFF repeating it over and over again, that of a human father.

That if HE was to allow us to feel the full extent of HIS LOVE FOR US OUR HEARTS WOULD BURST FROM HAPPINESS. That HIS LOVE FOR US would overwhelm OUR HEARTS and we would die from HAPPINESS.

That is why HE shields us from the full extent of HIS LOVE after we receive HIM IN HOLY COMMUNION. We have an assignment from HIM to complete before we can go home to HIS LOVE. HE waits in the BLESSED SACRAMENT for us to receive HIM, to visit HIM, to adore HIM so that we will receive the LOVE AND STRENGTH that only HE CAN GIVE, so that we can complete the assignment given to us. It is when our assignment is complete (when we die) that our HEARTS and SOULS will feel the FULL EXTENT OF HIS LOVE.

Mother of Perpetual Light December 19,2008

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

FOR THESE TIMES YOU WERE CHOSEN

YOU WILL SOON SEE THE EARTH LIKE YOU HAVE NOT BEFORE;
THIS ALL MUST COME TO PASS SO THIS LAND GOD CAN RESTORE.
THE EARTH WILL BE SCORCHED BEFORE RE-CREATION BEGINS
SO THAT THE LAND WOULD BE FREE FROM TEMPTATIONS AND SINS.

ALTHOUGH YOUR NAMES ARE NOT LISTED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION,
YOU WERE CHOSEN BY GOD DURING THIS TIME OF TRIBULATION.
GOD’S PLAN AT THIS TIME YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND,
BUT YOU WILL WHEN YOU ENTER INTO THE NEW PROMISED LAND.

IN THE MEANTIME, DEAR CHILDREN, THERE ARE CROSSES TO BEAR
TO HELP PAVE THE WAY TOWARDS THE LAND YOU WILL SHARE.
THE CROSSES AT TIMES WILL BE HARD TO ENDURE,
BUT EACH CROSS IS NOW NEEDED TO HELP MAKE THIS LAND PURE.
YOU ASK WHY THE BURDENS ARE ON THOSE WHO NOW PRAY

AND NOT ON THE ONES WHO STILL GOD DISOBEY.
HOW CAN GOD, MY DEAR CHILDREN, ON THE OTHERS RELY
IF THEY CARE NOT WHERE THEIR SOULS MAY END UP WHEN THEY DIE?

LOOK BACK NOT, DEAR CHILDREN, AT WHAT YOU LEFT BEHIND,
BUT LOOK FOR THE RAINBOW WHERE GOD’S TREASURES YOU’LL FIND.
GOD CHOSE YOU, MY DEAR CHILDREN, FOR THIS TIME OF THE END
SO WHEN NEW EDEN’S READY, YOU’LL BE THERE TO ATTEND.

THY WILL BE DONE 12-19-2008

Message to Victoria Spalding for the 19th/Healing Service/ Immaculate Heart of Mary Church

Words of Our Lady (taken by Victoria Spalding, SFO) December 19, 2008

My children, I come here tonight as your loving Mother and as your example of obedience to the Father. The Father loves each one of you, my dear children, and so He is sending me to you to make known His mercy and love.

Each time one of you comes to my Son, looking for His mercy and forgiveness, the Father showers you with His blessings from above. So do not be afraid this Advent to come looking for the babe, who saved you, and who redeemed you from your sins.

He awaits you in utmost poverty and abjection, so that you may comfort His soul and give Him glory everlasting, by your repentance in your heart. For each time, one of you comes to my Son, in the hopes of being redeemed by His grace, He gives you not only glory everlasting, but God, Himself.

Therefore, my dear children, do not delay in purposefully coming to my Son this Advent and Christmas, so that you may give my Son the praise and glory that is due the Father for all eternity. For in honoring my Son, you honor the Father, who has made you and called you to be His very own children. And in this manner, my dear children, you will inherit life eternal.

I love you, my dear children. Come closer to the Father’s love for you, by repenting of your sins and believing in my Son, Jesus Christ.

I am with you, my dear people. Go in the comfort and peace of your God.

REFLECTION

MARY is the GREATEST example of obedience and humility we can have, next to Jesus. Everything that Our Lady does she does out of obedience to the Father and out of love for her Son and for us. And her main role as our Mother is to point us in the direction of her Son, who in turn, leads us to the Father.

OUR LADY IS SO HUMBLE THAT EVEN WHEN SHE ACCEPTED THE ANGEL’S INVITATION TO BECOME THE MOTHER OF GOD, SHE DID NOT BOAST ABOUT HERSELF. INSTEAD SHE SPOKE IN THE MAGNIFICAT OF HER NOTHINGNESS.

Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant" Luke 1:46

In this message, Our Lady is pointing to her Son, who came to us, as she said, in utmost poverty and abjection. When I think of Jesus being born in a stable, I think of Him as being born in the first homeless shelter. And that is where God dwells, among the poor and the lowly.

You see, for God to be born as a man, was an infinite humiliation in itself, even if God had been born in a palace and laid upon cushions of gold. But Our God loved us so much that He went even further than that.

He chose to be born in a cave, and laid in the rudest of cribs, to show us that the world was poor and in need of a Savior. Jesus also knew that we would be tempted by worldly possessions, and that it would be hard for us to become poor in spirit, unless He provided the way.

Jesus once said to me:

I CAME WITH NOTHING AND I LEFT WITH NOTHING.

And this is how we will leave this earth also. The only thing we will take with us when we leave is what we give away.

As Franciscans, we pray the Franciscan Crown Rosary, consisting of seven Joyful mysteries. The third mystery is the Birth of Jesus. I’d like to close with a meditation from Our Lady that she gave me, regarding this mystery. (Taken from the book, Mother of Light and Humility)

THIRD JOYFUL MYSTERY

Mary speaks:

When I was about to give birth, my Savior was foremost in my mind. I wondered how I would hold Him and tell Him how much I loved Him. Joseph was beside me through it all, as my Savior did not wish for me to be alone.

Remember how much God wishes to use you to bring His love to others. St. Joseph will be beside you also, if you wish to give birth to Jesus in your hearts. It is only by saying yes to the will of the Father, that you can bear witness of Him to others.

Call upon the Christ Child more, when you need to remember how painful it is to be humiliated. Christ’s infinite humiliation was not that He was born in a manger, but that He would be forgotten by many!

My children, do not forget the Christ Child, who has redeemed you and given birth to your hearts, so that you may live in utmost poverty while on earth, in order that you may enjoy the extreme riches of eternal glory.

Let us pray: Lord, help us to resemble your mercy, so that we may live in obedience and humility all the days of our life! Amen

Message to Eileen Renders December 21, 2008

Hope you are taking comfort in this holy week and enjoying your family? I am guilty I confess, that I have not pondered much in my life about my guardian angel until today. I asked Jesus about my guardian angel, and as you know, I rarely ask Jesus questions, but only listen.

His answer is important to all of us. Please pass along this letter to you, as well as Jesus' message as I want everyone to ponder their guardian angels and work toward a relationship with our guardian angel as Mary Our Blessed Mother of Jesus did.

God bless and a joyful holy season to all!

Invoking The Guidance of our Guardian Angel

Today my husband and I attended our usual 8:00 A.M. Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows where I made humble offerings to Jesus and Mary and remembered in prayer all those with special needs and intentions.

Our priest had a beautiful message regarding Our Blessed Mother's visit from the Guardian Angel Gabriel who told her that she had been chosen to become the Mother of Jesus. Father John relayed to us how her acceptance and surrender of God's will is also a reminder to all of us to accept God's will each day and surrender ourselves to Him. In preparing to receive Holy Communion, I prayed an Act Of Contrition and began to wonder exactly who my guardian angel is.

After receiving the most sacred body and blood of Christ in the sacrament of Holy Communion, I knelt in silent commune with Jesus. I thanked Him for His many blessings and I asked Him to please come into my heart. I again surrendered my will to Him and quietly asked who my guardian angel is. Then I prayed, Speak Lord (if it be Your will), Your servant listens.

Jesus responded to my heart saying, Eileen My child, Lepidus is your guardian angel. He in life was an ancient soldier, a warrior! It is important to acknowledge your guardian angel each day who is always beside you to protect you. Ask your guardian angel to guide you and lead you always on the path that is God's will for you. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

Now I will be researching about my guardian angel, Lepidus. Initially what I have learned is that he, Marcus Aemillius Lepidus came after the death of Julius Caesar, he supported Mark Anthony and was joined by Anthony in Gaul after the defeat of Mutina (modern Modena). In 43 BC they formed the Second Triumvirate with Octavian (Agustus).

After the battle of Phillippi (42 BC), Lepidus received the governorship of Africa, whence he returned (36 BC) to conquer Sicily. Octavian suspected him of trying to keep Sicily for himself and deprived him of his offices, except that of pontifex maximus.

Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 23 - TO BE LIKE FLOWERS

December 25, 1996

"Dear children! Today I am with you in a special way, holding little Jesus in my lap and I invite you, little children, to open yourselves to His call. He calls you to joy. Little children, joyfully live the messages of the Gospel, which I am repeating in the time since I am with you.

Little children, I am your Mother and I desire to reveal to you the God of love and the God of peace. I do not desire for your life to be in sadness but that it be realized in joy for eternity, according to the Gospel. Only in this way will your life have meaning. Thank you for having responded to my call."

"Jesus, what made You so small? LOVE!" -St. Bernard of Clairvaux

"Today the Magi gaze in deep wonder at what they see: heaven on earth, earth in heaven, man in God, God in man,

One Whom the whole universe cannot contain now enclosed in a tiny body." -St Peter Chrysologus

"How great is God's goodness, how deep His love for us! Let us join the shepherds in giving glory to God: TODAY A SAVIOR HAS BEEN BORN TO US. HE IS CHRIST THE LORD." -St. Basil the Great

While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign... Energy efficient vehicle. Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust.

Mother Teresa -

Thanks be to God for your families. Try to find room for God in your families. If you are capable of bringing prayer back into your homes, you will be equally capable of overcoming all of the hardships that afflict the world.

Meditations by Padre Pio - Faith also guides us and we follow securely in its light the way which leads to God, His homeland, just as the Holy Magi, guided by the star, symbol of faith, reached the desired place.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Self-expression often lacks self-restraint

"Leaving to the medical profession those who are suffering from functional and organic disturbances, which affect the mind, our problem is to inquire into the reason for the many marginal or fringe cases of mental instability.

Coming quickly to the point, it appears to be this: Our generation has been raised on the idea of "self-expression," which being translated negatively, means there should never be any self-restraint.

Every desire and impulse, which satisfies the ego, is considered good, any form of self-denial, or repression of biological urges, is considered as harmful to the personality. The ego is flattered and pampered, even to a point where children are raised on the theory that they should never be disciplined, much less punished or reprimanded for their selfishness."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - November 30, 1936. During Vespers today, an unusual pain pierced my soul. I see that, in every respect, this work is beyond my strength. I am a little child before the immensity of the task, and it is only at the Lord's clear command that I am setting about to carry it out.

On the other hand, even these great graces are a burden for me, and I am barely able to carry them. I see my superiors' disbelief and doubts of all kinds and, for this reason, their apprehensive behavior towards me. My Jesus, I see that even such great graces can be [a source of] suffering.

And yet, it is so; not only may they be a cause of suffering, but they must be such, as a sign of God's action. I understand well that if God himself did not strengthen the soul in these various ordeals, the soul would not be able to master the situation. Thus God Himself is its shield.

As I continued Vespers, meditating on this mixture of suffering and grace, I heard the voice of Our Lady: Know, My daughter, that although I was raised to the dignity of Mother of God, seven swords of pain pierced my heart. Don't do anything to defend yourself; bear everything with humility; God himself will defend you. (786)

I will spend this Advent in accordance with the directions of the Mother of God: in meekness and humility. (792)

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. 5865 -

Dec 23 - TO BE LIKE FLOWERS

Today Our Lady gives a short but profound message:

Dear children, I would like all you to be like flowers, which will open at Christmas for Jesus, flowers which will not cease to blossom after Christmas. Be the good shepherds of Jesus (First Years Dec 21, 1984).

The Blessed Mother uses the beautiful analogy of a flower to express the blossoming of virtues and good works in the life of the believer.

St. Paul, too, takes up this theme in his letter to the Church of Rome; he urges his people to blossom in fraternal love and the kindness this implies:

Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another; do not claim to be wiser than you are.

Do not repay anymore evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceable with all (Rom 12:13-18).

Reflection:

The virtues that Paul speaks of are of course the fruits of the Holy Spirit, poured forth by God on all who ask with sincere and open hearts. These same gifts are the very qualities that enable us to be, as Our Lady says today, "be good shepherds of Jesus". And as shepherds, we are called to use the gifts of the Spirit in the service of others. The gifts we have received are many. To acknowledge them, to pray for their increase, and to share them with others, is the challenge and promise of our readings today.

Application: In prayer, acknowledge a gift or virtue you have been given, and actually use it for the benefit of someone today. For example, the gift of compassion can be expressed in a visit or phone call to one who is lonely or sick.

Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 22 - DO SOMETHING CONCRETE December 19, 1985

"Dear children! Today I wish to call you to love of neighbor. The more you will to love your neighbour, the more you shall experience Jesus especially on Christmas Day. God will bestow great gifts on you if you surrender yourselves to Him. I wish in a special way on Christmas Day to give mothers my own special motherly blessing, and Jesus will bless the rest with His own blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Thank you for having responded to my call." "Let us follow the star of inspiration and divine attraction which calls us to the crib, and let us go thither to adore and love the Child Jesus and offer ourselves to him" (St. Jane Frances de Chantal). O Come let us adore Him, Jesus, Our Eucharistic Lord!

"Were my eyes to see You come down,
they would cease to weep.
Rain Him down, you clouds—
The One Whom earth has longed for.
Earth, you have given us only thorns.
Be open now and bring forth
the only flower
in which you yourself may flourish."
"This living spring that I long for,
I see in this bread of life."
(Excerpts from the writings of St. John of the Cross)

A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him in front of the service station. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump. "Reverend," said the young man, "sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip." The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean; same in my business."

Mother Teresa - What greater love is there than God's love for each one of us? His love isn't a fantasy. It is real.

Meditations by Padre Pio - May the Child Jesus be your guiding star in the desert of this present life.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Is the stepchild of modern civilization crazed? "Human beings have always taken for granted that there would be in their midst a few unfortunate individuals whose mental outlook would be warped and unpredictable. But what is disturbing today is the number of otherwise normal people who, in popular language, are "cracking up."

Some are young, otherwise happily married; others are in middle life, with apparent security, but regardless of the age group, as a good American psychiatrist wrote, `Mental cases are the stepchild of modern civilization.'"

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - November 29, 1936. The Mother of God has taught me how to prepare for the Feast of Christmas. I saw her today, without the Infant Jesus. She said to me: My daughter, strive after silence and humility, so that Jesus, who dwells in your heart continuously, may be able to rest.

Adore Him in your heart; do not go out from your inmost being. My daughter, I shall obtain for you the grace of an interior life which will be such that, without ever leaving that interior life, you will be able to carry out all your external duties with even greater care. Dwell with Him continuously in your own heart. He will be your strength. Communicate with creatures only insofar as is necessary and is required by your duties.

You are a dwelling place pleasing to the living God; in you He dwells continuously with love and delight. And the living presence of God, which you experience in a more vivid and distinct way, will confirm you, my daughter, in the things I have told you. Try to act in this way until Christmas Day, and then He himself will make known to you in what way you will be communing and uniting yourself with Him. (785)

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.

Dec 22 - DO SOMETHING CONCRETE

On this day in Advent, the Madonna called her children to prayer and to works of charity: Dear children, tonight your Mother calls you to prayer during these two days before Christmas. Open your hearts through your prayer and let us keep vigil together for the day of great joy. Dear children, I wish you to decide to do something concrete during these two days (Visionary Prayer Group Dec 22, 1989).

And in Luke's gospel, the Good Samaritan puts his faith into concrete action:

But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him (Lk 10:33-34).

Reflection: Faith and works of charity go hand in hand in the Christian life. "As the flower is before the fruit", writes Richard Whately, "so is faith before good works". Indeed, Christ emphasizes that they will be the criteria for the last judgment:

"Come…inherit the kingdom prepared for you; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing…" (Mt 25:34-35).

Application: "Dear children", Our Lady says today, "I wish you to decide to do something concrete during these two days". In compliance with this message, plan several works of charity you can accomplish in the near future.

SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH

"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."

Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.

Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails. Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

BLACK SAINT OF THE DAY

AFRICA NOT ALWAYS ITS NAMED AFRICA! Also known as Ta Merri (Ptah Merri) Akebulan (during the conquests of the Armies of Islam), and Azania/Azaria. Irrefutable (some say) birthplace of humankind and civilization. Modern man’s most old home. Some scholars say, Akebulan--from the time of the conquest of the Prophet's armies. Still others say Azaria. Early Africans didn’t call themselves such! Traditionally, the word for the continental area was TaMeri/ Ptah Merri (Later during the Arabs conquest, Akebulan). Geologists posit it the continent once formed Gondwanaland, together with Western Australia, South America, and the Indian Deccan Plateau. That enormous land mass rupture by the force of continental drift. Among all old civilizations, only an African one remains. Babylon, Assyria, and Phoenicia are gone. Egypt—Kemet—remains. Analysis of some 800 skulls from pre-dynastic Kemet from the lower Nile River Valley, pre-dating 3,000 B.C. prove at least a third of demonstrably Black ancestry. And a recent study of African languages confirms that remote ancestors of modern Africans were important, perhaps dominant among the people founding the old Egyptian (Kemetian) civilizations. Further evidence suggests: Egypt, Nubia, and the Sudan shared a common Stone Age (50,000 to 3,000 years before Christ) culture until about 2800 B.C. Progressive farming methods in the lower Nile River caused Kemet to leap ahead. Some anthropologists say the findings show Blacks to be a Hamitic people who lived from East Africa to Uganda, Kenya, and Somali. Others object, disregarding their own definitions. They claim Hamites to be the result of an old Black-white mixture. And they say Hamites and other Mediterranean dark-skinned people are white. Yeah! Right! (Got that swamp land to sell for those so gullible). Says other prominent anthropologists: Anthropologically, excepting certain facial characteristics, the East African Hamitomorphs are to be considered typically Black. Until quite recently, worlds atlases list as North and East Africa parts of Uganda, and Congo (Kinshasa), Chad, Nigeria, Sudan, Mali, Upper Volta, Mauretania, Spanish Sahara, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Dahomey, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, the Cameroons, Liberia, and the nation many seem to forget sits upon the African Continent-EGYPT (Kemet). The Habiru have returned en masse since 1948 to Israel. This country is only a few miles from the African continent. Sub racially, Jews are Semites. Experts feel their Semitic language dates around 1,000 B.C. and are related to a larger Fertile Crescent group from around the Tigris and Euphrates River Valley of Mesopotamia, to the Nile River Valley in Africa. Some say Afro-Asian or Semito-Hamitic, here meaning, related African language bonds link Northwest African ties beyond Egypt (Kemet) to the Berber-Libyan west. The Cushite languages of the South and Upper Nileto the Chad group of the Sudan are also included. Therefore, Semitic languages before Muslim and non-Arabic African are linked to the African-speech groups, “North –South along the Nile and East-West across the Sahara, and to some extent, the sub-Sahara, Sudanic belt. Even the Wolof tribal language in Senegal, has some words which remarkably resemble the languages of Old Kemet (Egypt). Ethiopia As Cush Many wonder why Ethiopia was called Abyssinia, Cush, Kush, and Nubia. Different people call other different people by various names. OLD AFRICA NAME LEGENDS Old legend says the name Af ra ka was given to an old Kemetian elder called Heru. (And we use the word "legend" here in the cultural anthropologic manner—It does NOT mean myth or fiction!) That Black oral tradition says the name actually comes from the Kemetian hieroglyphics of our Hamitic (or Ethiopian--to use a biblical term) ancestors. Af--A prefix for "flesh" …Ra, a Kemetian name for the Almighty God as they knew and understood Him. (Remember, Pharaoh Akhenaton (Amenhotep IV) proved among the first in that world area to postulate, “There is one God!” Old Kemetian (Kemetian) show significance to the suffix “Ka”- (Those who really wish to know can research). From the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia--fair use for those in the African geologic and cultural Diasporas). In the below discussion of spirituality…we have changed the name Kemetian to the original –Kemet. Where the reader sees Kemet, you can place the more Eurocentric “Egypt”. Where the reader sees Kemetian, place Kemetian. So the appellation Africa in these sites shall be used interchangeably with Ta Merri/Ptah Merri (more particularly here inclusive of Kemet (Egypt). and Akebulan. Curiously, in old times the name Ethiopia was also sometimes used in the Bible for Africa, and Ethiopian for Africans generically. Further, Egypt was not called Egypt by the Kemetians, but KHEMET/KEMET Alternately, they called part of the area Cush, Nubia, or Abyssinia, depending the dynasty and the ruler’s lineage. Later, the continental area was known as TaMeri/Ptah Merri, or shortly after the 700s, Akebulan. “The prophet saying, Out of Egypt (Kemet) I called My Son" (Matt. 213-15). See Volume II preface for more comprehensive information on The Holy Family, Jesus, Maryam, and Joseph (Yusef) in Africa. Simply, there are so many Saints coming out of Africa, because Our Lord, Yeshua, Jesus the Christ lived there, and prepared the area for evangelization. In these last days, a growth in world missionaries comes from where? THE AFRICAN CONTINENT. See. http//pharos.bu.edu/cn/articles/HolyFamilyInEgypt.txt Returning to Palestine, Joseph learned "that Archaelaus ruled Judea in place of his father, Herod. Joseph feared to go there. God’s dream warned him as well. Joseph turned toward Nazareth. The prophets would be fulfilled, “He shall be called a Nazarene." (Matthew 222-23). Those points are important because Nazareth, especially near the Mt. Carmel area, was a settlement for those calling themselves the Nazarenes, the Essennes, and to a lesser extent, the Therapeutae. While not able to do justice to them in this tome, the reader might do web searches on each. Then understand how Yeshua is depicted as parting His hair in Art. Finally, learn of the vows of celibacy (putting to bed the foolishness of such as the Da Vinci Codes and the like).

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE

"I came to show you My love"

Sunday, December 21, 2008

Dear Friends,

The Lord spoke to Isaiah and said, "Go out to meet Ahaz. and say to the King. 'Ask a sign of the Lord your God: let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven.'" But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to the test." Then Isaiah said, "Here then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary mortals, that you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the virgin is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel." "that is, God is with us." Isaiah 7:3-4, 11-14; Matthew 1:23

It was cold yesterday especially with the wind. It was cloudy almost the whole day and a little snow fell at times. The temperature during the night dipped to -16 Celsius. Today we will have more sun and it will not be so cold.

I will go to the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, this morning for Holy Mass at 11:00 a.m. In the afternoon at 2:00 p.m., I will baptize my niece's little girl at the church. Here is a wonderful gift to our family and she will be baptized just before Christmas. I wish to remind you again about Father Charles Mbaba who needs money to study at the University. He has less than $5,000 and he needs $15,000 to go to study for one year. Please send a check made out to me at this address: 1704 Palmer Road, R.R. 2, Tignish, PE C0B2B0, Canada. Thank you very much.

Here is another message from Our Lord given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, "For hundreds and hundreds of years before My birth, the prophets spoke about My coming into the world. One of the greatest prophets was Isaiah. The Father gave him messages for the Jewish people, which spoke about different aspects of My birth and about My suffering and death. These prophecies were true as they were all fulfilled during My life on earth.

Isaiah spoke of My Mother as the Virgin with child. The child She carried is the One who is speaking to you. He called Me Immanuel, which means God is with us. Indeed I am the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity born as a human being of My Mother Mary. I came into this world for a special purpose. I was sent by My Father to redeem you.

I am the light that came down to chase away the darkness spread over the world by the evil one. I came to take you out of the kingdom of darkness and to bring you to the Kingdom of light, the Kingdom of heaven. I would accomplish this by My suffering and death on the cross. I came to make of you all the beloved of the Father and My brothers and sisters.

My birth in the world was the greatest event since the creation of Adam and Eve. I was the Son of God for all eternity in heaven and at My conception I put on human nature and was born as man. At My birth all saw God made man. I am the only one who was born on earth with both natures: human and divine. I came to show you My love and to call you to follow Me in this world and to be happy with Me forever in heaven."

Father Melvin

Public Message Our Lady of Emmitsburg To the World through Gianna Sullivan Given on December 12, 2004 The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe For release on December 19, 2004 The 15-year Anniversary of Our Lady's Apparitions to Gianna

Little children, praised be Jesus!

Little ones, God has blessed this country and the world in so many ways; and yet, there are so many people who fail to see the beauty and the grace given from Heaven.

Peace and freedom are for those who truly want to know the meaning of "peace" and the meaning of "freedom". Your freedom is just that, freedom; and yet, the more freedom you have, the more you desire to change the moral values of mankind and to change what true freedom really is.

The meaning of "freedom" is not the license to do what you desire to do, when you want to and how you desire to, both in your thoughts and words and in your behaviors. "Freedom" is a true "Peace" in your hearts, where you are able to be loving, charitable, free from the vices and temptations of sin, and free from the fear of tribulations due to the natural causes in the world. You are free because of your trust and your love of God. God gave you life; and the more you cherish life and live it fully, the more you will grow and the freer you will be.

It is a blessing for me to come and be with you. This blessing is given from God the Father, not that all should come to me, but that all should go directly to my Son. I simply am a servant who points the way and will help you, should you desire it. Regardless, my love and my Heart remain with my Son; and my desire for you is that each of your hearts and your love remain also with my Son. But if they are not, then my desire is that you allow me to help you.

What a great period of time for preparation it now is. It is a time when you celebrate the Birth of my Son, not just symbolically; but when you celebrate the Joy of Him being alive and coming into your hearts, and that Joy burning within your hearts. It is a time when you should tend to Him, because He has given His Life for you.

I love you and I bless you in His Most Holy Name. Prepare in the silence of your hearts. Be pure; and give, give, and give all of yourselves to the Heart of Jesus which awaits your love.

Private Message from Our Lady through Gianna Sullivan December 19, 2006 The 17th Anniversary of Our Lady's Apparitions to Gianna

Little children, praised be Jesus!

Little ones, I thank God on your behalf for your commitment, for all the years of dedication and devotion to my Son, for your own "fiat" in saying "yes", for all your suffering, persecution and tribulations, and for all the wondrous, glorious events in your lives.

All in His time, God reveals the Truth! All these years you have been committed and devoted, struggling in life and yet remaining faithful to the Word of God. How blessed are you that the Word of God was given to you and you guarded it, devoured it, lived it and protected it! God will never be outdone in generosity and in graciousness. His Love will protect you always!

So many years, so many petitions, and yet, day by day, you seem to be committed to one thing, the Truth. While everyone goes about their business in living their lives day to day, you live and breathe what God wants. How blessed you are! For the flame of life dwells within your hearts and is not extinguished because of your energy and love for the goodness and graciousness of my Son.

How pleased I am on this special day! I thank you as you thank me, and I take all of your petitions as you present them to me.

My dear little ones, God will never let you down. You have been blessed and chosen to suffer as He suffers. What a great gift! So the time of redemption, at hand, will reveal the Truth; and the Light of promise will shine upon your head for all of mankind; and through the sign in the heavens, all will know the Truth here.

Believe! Never lose sight. How happy I am to make known to you these words, to thank all my children who have believed and who have come to know this special grace here at the Center of my most Immaculate Heart!

Rejoice and know that the redemption is at hand, and all of what God has promised will be fulfilled sooner than you even realize! I thank you for your commitment, and for allowing me to come into the world through you. I thank you and I take all of your petitions and I implore God's Mercy that all of them be fulfilled.

Peace. Thank you for your "fiat" (fading whisper).

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

Dear Children of Humanity,

Allow Me to speak about the most fair and purest woman, so Immaculate and preserved without stain. She is your mentor, an advocate for the Truth. She directs you to My Son, enlightens you to know and to love the Trinity and to follow without knowing the way. How beautiful this fair Queen—so fair and beautiful that the angels plead that she would commission them on her behalf to your aid. They desire to hold your petitions and embrace them, to lay them at the Foot of the Throne.

How pure and loving a woman—so astute, wise and kind; so united through suffering, holy and humble, meek and patient! How blessed you are that the Most Holy Trinity has given to you the gift of this fairest Queen in this time of your need, to strengthen and to guide you, to point the way, to outline a safe path, to preserve you from harm, and to protect you from evil. In all of history throughout ages past, never has there been a Queen as pure as she! Esther led the way; Mary fulfilled the way.

For you who have eyes to see and ears to hear, could you be more blessed than to receive and to listen? All she has unveiled to you is unfolding! Are you dismayed, or perhaps, many even frightened? Are you astounded, or do you not care? Do you continue to desecrate, or do you change and have hope fulfilled with the faith of Love?

Do you not know that the angels in Heaven desire to have the power you have to suffer like unto My Son and shared by this most beloved, fair and humble servant and Queen? To love, in its purest form, is to suffer—not being distracted by fear, not being cowardly in times of challenge, but being strong, faith-filled, hopeful people of God.

Look to your most wonderful intercessor, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, who bore the Most Precious One of God!

The gift of life is given to you for all eternity by means of the woman whose “fiat,” sorrow, and suffering are greater than what the mind can comprehend. United to God and her Son, she is inseparable in suffering from Him Who redeemed the world. She, who in silence gave to the world, is your hope; and He is your salvation!

Look within and ponder, and it will be revealed to you a most wonderful enlightenment of your mind and heart.

BLACK SAINT OF THE DAY

KING DAVID’S BLACK QUEEN King of Judah, Hebron, and later all Israel, David (1013-973 B.C.) the youngest son of Jesse, was born in Bethlehem. This is the same city Yeshua, Jesus the Christ would come into the world. Samuel anointed him as Saul’s successor as Israelite king. Father God Almighty through the prophet Nathan, assured David of a perpetual (forever) dynasty from which the Messiah (or Savior) –Jesus—would come. For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior. I gave Egypt for thy ransom. Ethiopia and Seba for thee. Isaiah 43 One David’s wives, possibly the most favored, was Bath-Sheba or Bathsabee. Originally, she was the Black wife of the Hittite Uriah. (Not for this book, but look at the history of Seba, Saba. Review the Queen of Sheba stories [Queen Makeda]). Being one of Israel’s greatest kings didn’t stop David from having Uriah murdered by sending him to the front lines of battle. Like others of his time, David used black mercenary troops as well. The old Jewish historian Josephus describes later Queen of Sheba, herself, as an African Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia (Nubia Meroe in Cush, really). But today, some scholars in confusion place old Sheba in Arabia, on the nation of Yemen’s southern tip. (Review that Africa and Arabia were once connected and the ethnic definitions of Black as a race. Then search the web for what Yemenis look like, even today—US!). These minor scholars say the Sabeans (Sheba’s biblical name was Hadhramut) landed in East Africa and colonized what is now Ethiopia—European Age of Colonialization foolishness. Yet old writers place the Sabeans—and their chief cities of Sana and Marib –in Somaliland, Kenya, the Tanganyika coast or Ausanitic coast of what is now Ethiopia. The area was the center of Indian and African trade, which passed between Asia and Africa. Some say there were two Sabas or Shebas (See the Nigerian claim of the possibility of the Queen of Sheba coming from their neck of the woods). But to this date, the late Emperor Haille Selaisie of Ethiopia claimed direct ancestry to Queen Makeda, the Queen of Sheba. And we know Sabean settlements develo0ped into the Ethiopian (not Indian) Axumite state in which Saint King Ezana (Aizanas) reportedly became the first known male Christian ruler in 400 A.D. (Male because if you read the Bible’s Book of Acts, you’ll see the Ethiopian finance minister of the Kandake, warrior Queen Candace, meeting with the Apostle Philip and converting. Tradition says The Ethiopian Eunuch of Acts converted Candace’s dominion as a disciple. Apostle Matthew-the Apostle to the Ethiopians, came to help, as did Nathaniel Bartholomew, Jude Thaddeus, as did—according to tradition). Can the Ethiopian change his skin? Jeremiah 13:23 By today’s definitions (see ours, infra), Bath-Sheba was Ethiopian and black (a view held by the early church fathers). And the son of David and Bathsheba, and ancestor of Jesus, the Christ, prospered in bringing early Israel to an independent state.

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE

"It is time for all to return to Me"

Saturday, December 20, 2008

Dear Friends,

Now the people were filled with expectation, and all were asking in their hearts whether John might be the Messiah. John answered them all, saying, "I am baptizing you with water, but one mightier than I is coming. I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals.

He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire." Exhorting them in many other ways, he preached good news to the people. Now Herod the tetrarch, who had been censured by him because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the evil deeds Herod had committed, added still another to these by putting John in prison." Luke 3:15-20

 

Here now is another message from Our Lord given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, "John the Baptist worked hard to make Me known to the people. Some thought that he might be the Messiah but he denied it and told them that I would come to baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire.

He was not afraid to call the people to repentance and he even told Herod that he was living in sin as he had taken his brother's wife. Because of that Herod had John thrown into prison and we know that he had John killed at the request of Herodias' daughter who was prompted by her mother to ask for the head of John the Baptist. He suffered martyrdom for My cause.

No one should be afraid to preach the good news in all its details. Today many avoid to speak of sin and to show the people the sinful deeds they do such as abortion, living together without marriage, holding grudges for years, refusing to forgive those who have hurt them or accepting euthanasia, which is the killing of a human being.

The sinful state of many nations today is the cause of the crisis they are in today and it will not go away unless there is a change in the hearts of the people and in the legislation in these countries. It is time for all to return to Me before it is too late."

Fr Doucette - Fri, Dec 19, 2008: "Begin a new life with Me"

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE

"Begin a new life with Me"

Friday, December 19, 2008

Dear Friends,

John the Baptist said to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce good fruits as evidence of your repentance; and do not begin to say to yourselves, We have Abraham as our father, for I tell you, God can raise up children to Abraham from these stones. Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees.

Therefore every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. And the crowds asked him, What then should we do? He said to them in reply, Whoever has two cloaks should share with the person who has none. And whoever has food should do likewise. Even tax collectors came to be baptized and they said to him, ?Teacher, what should we do?

He answered them, Stop collecting more than what is prescribed. Soldiers also asked him, And what is it that we should do? He told them, Do not practice extortion, do not falsely accuse anyone, and be satisfied with your wages. Luke 3:7 14

We had a partly sunny day yesterday although it was cold. We expected some snow during the night but none fell. We should have about the same weather today as yesterday. It is well below the freezing point these days.

I was at Tignish Church last evening for confessions. We were six priests and confessions began at 7:30 p.m. and lasted more than one hour. I should have visitors from Nova Scotia this morning and this evening I am invited out for a meal. I still continue to receive many Christmas cards and I thank you for remembering me and for all your gifts. There will be a Healing Mass on January 2, 2009, at 7:30 p.m. at the little shrine at Palmer Road with the rosary at 7:00 p.m. Everyone is welcome.

Here is another message from the Lord addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, John the Baptist is My herald and he woke up many of the Jewish people during his time.

They came from everywhere to be baptized by John and to ask him questions. He knew who they were and what sort of life they were leading.

His answers were short and to the point. He wanted them to produce good fruits as evidence of their repentance. Those who did not would be like a bad tree that does not bear good fruit and it is cut down and thrown into the fire.

All are called to examine themselves and to see their strength and their weaknesses. They are called to get rid of their bad habits and sinful attitudes, which offend the Father. Repent of all your sins and ask for My help to change your ways.

Forgive those who have hurt you in any way and I will forgive you the sins you have committed against the Father. How can I forgive you if you do not forgive those who offended you? You simply have to pray the Our Father to know what to do.

I wish to live in your heart during the Christmas season and throughout the New Year 2009 and I cannot live there unless it is cleansed of all sin. Begin a new life with Me.

JESUS IS MERCIFUL to littlest of servants December 18, 2008

While in Church this morning after MASS while I was praying before the BLESSED SACRAMENT a women tapped me on the shoulder and asked me if I could find out where her brother was as he was an alcoholic and had just committed suicide and she told me that her mother had prayed many, many ROSARIES for him.

I prayed about it and asked JESUS if HE would tell me where this soul was.

JESUS then spoke and told me he was in the lowest level of purgatory and he had been saved by the many prayers said for him.

I then told the women what JESUS had said and she was so happy she started to cry and I told her that GOD is LOVING and MERCIFUL.

Later while still in Church I was praising JESUS for his WONDERFUL and GREAT MERCY. I then received the following vision.

I saw a man standing before JESUS in judgment and I knew it to be the bother of the women who had asked me about him. JESUS held in HIS hands a list of the man's sins and HE was reading them out.

When JESUS was about half way through the list I saw Our Lady appear standing next to the man on the right side. When JESUS was done reading the list HE seemed ready to pronounce his judgment which I understood to be HELL FOR ETERNITY.

I saw the man's face and he had a look of terror on it. It was then that I saw Our Lady open Her garment and expose HER MOST IMMACULATE HEART. Rays of IMMENSE LIGHT came forth from HER HEART and covered the man.

JESUS then was unable or unwilling to pronounce the sentence of justice. The list of the man's sins that was in JESUS' HANDS disappeared and JESUS then spoke and said that due to the many ROSARIES that had been said for him he was now entitled to HIS DIVINE MERCY.

HE then judged him to purgatory.

GOD IS MERCIFUL. GOD IS GREAT. LET'S PRAISE GOD FOR HIS INFINITE AND GREAT MERCY. LET'S ALSO PRAISE HIM FOR GIVING US OUR LADY TO BE OUR MOTHER AND OUR GREAT INTERCESSOR.

Vision to littlest of servants December 19, 2008

While in Church praying in front of the BLESSED SACRAMENT I received the following vision.

I saw a large group of people and they were breaking into a grocery store. When they got inside the selves were empty and there was no food, it was gone.

I then saw a group of people and they were standing in a straight line waiting to get into a large warehouse, such as Costco. I understood that the reason that they were there waiting in line was to get food.

There were military at the door and they were checking their identifications before people got into the warehouse.

I then saw the identifications up close and they had the chip in them. I then saw people being turned away as they did not have the chip.

I then saw these people being taken away by the military.

I then again saw a straight line and people were again waiting to get into the warehouse to get food and the military were checking their identifications.

Only this time I could see that they were scanning their wrist to find out if they had taken the chip in their wrist.Once they scanned their wrist for the chip and they had it they were allowed in.

That this chip in the wrist would now be your identification and you could not enter the warehouse to get food without it.

Our Lady then spoke to me and told me that the remnant would soon be leaving for the places of refuge. That the time was very, very near.

 

Messages to John Leary Nov.19-Dec.3,2008

Wednesday, November 19, 2008

Jesus said: My people, this night scene without light represents how you could have some power outages this winter when you will need fuel for warmth, cooking, and light. Your full oil lamps should remind you of being ready as the five wise virgins in the Gospel.

You have had several power outages from ice storms and wind storms. This is why I have warned you to have some back up fuels as wood, kerosene, and propane for cooking. Your sources and heaters should be independent of electricity and natural gas lines that could also be shut down to control you. If the one world people wanted to have a takeover, they could shut down your power which in turn would shut down your banks and gas stations.

This is why it would be prudent to have water, food, and fuel on hand, especially for the cold of winter. You know how cold it can get without heat, even as you are warming yourselves now with just a little coldness. If your power should be cut off for a long time, then you would need enough fuel for the whole winter.

I will multiply your fuel if you are being tested by the one world people to take chips in the body or if they try to force you to follow them. My refuges should also be prepared with wood forests or large full propane tanks where I could multiply your fuel.

Trust in Me to keep your water from freezing and to multiply your food so you do not have to rely on outside sources that may require chips to buy and sell. With Me at your side, you will be warm this winter with enough food to survive. Give thanks and praise to Me for taking care of My faithful remnant.

Thursday, November 20, 2008

Jesus said: My people, with the major events going on around you, you are being overwhelmed in your finances with your current recession. Many of your old industries are being challenged by a drop in sales in all of your sale items.

These companies are on the brink of bankruptcy and many could be losing their jobs as a result. Your unemployment insurance was not set up to be able to finance large numbers for a long time. Extending such insurance may take more money than your governments could afford.

Without any income, your people will be stressed to pay their bills and find food to eat. Without taxes being collected, many programs paying for Social Security and welfare will go unfunded leaving many people without an income. This is why you need to have some food set aside for these coming hard times. This may precipitate martial law and a need to go to your refuges for protection from this overwhelming disaster created by the one world people.

Prayer Group:

Jesus said: My people, I have been warning you in many messages to be prepared for the bankrupting of America, and the subsequent declaration of martial law. Noah had been warned of the coming flood by God, and Noah was told all of the dimensions of the Ark and what to take with him in the animals, food, and water.

Now My people need to prepare also for when you will have to go to My refuges. I have told you how to pack your backpacks and what to take with you in following your guardian angel to the nearest refuge. Your refuges are going to be your Noah’s Ark so you will be protected from the evil ones during the tribulation and have what you need to survive.

Jesus said: My people, the beginnings of martial law could easily occur in the winter months when it may be difficult to use your bikes in the snow. In this case it may be a good plan to have a snow sled or toboggan in order to carry your backpacks, blankets, and tents. This is one more thing to have on hand should this happen in the winter. Pray for My help in whatever season that you will need to leave for My refuges.

Jesus said: My people, at your houses or your refuges you will need to store some water for drinking and washing. Be sure to store your water where it will be warm and cannot freeze. In the winter this will be an extra consideration for all of your liquids and foodstuffs so they do not get spoiled with freezer burn.

Also at your homes and refuges you will need extra fuel to get you through the winter because the evil ones will shut off your power when they declare martial law. Winter living will be especially difficult for those living in the North, so pray for My help to keep you warm and fed.

Jesus said: My people, it is difficult to find churches that are open so you could visit My Blessed Sacrament in My tabernacle. You will be fortunate to attend hours of Adoration at My churches, so support those churches that allow you to come to Me. Every moment that you spend in Adoration will gain you graces to endure the coming and present trials that you are suffering.

I had to suffer for you on the earth, and you will have to suffer also as I did. Some of you may have to suffer martyrdom for your faith, while others will be suffering a rustic life at My refuges. Be patient until I come and claim My victory over the evil ones.

Jesus said: My people, Thanksgiving Day will be coming shortly, and this will be followed by the Advent Season of a new Church Year. Advent lasts only a short time, but it is another time when you could be repenting of your sins, and praying to be cleansed in Confession for your eventual Day of Judgment.

You all will die some day, but by frequent Confession, you will always have a clean soul to stand before Me. As you prepare your Nativity Scenes, think of staying close to Me in your daily prayers.

Jesus said: My people, when your families come together, you should ask them to pray a rosary so that all of you could come together at the time of the Warning and martial law. You may even advise them how to prepare for this coming tribulation at the refuges. Your prayers to bring family members back to My sacraments will be answered most after the Warning when they will be more open to your evangelization efforts.

I love My people and this Warning experience is My mercy for all sinners to be saved. You have free will to choose to follow Me and those, who do so, will find My reward on earth and in heaven.

Jesus said: My people, your weeks of Advent can be marked well by your Advent Wreath with the four candles. You can mark this in your home at supper as you light the candles and share a prayer at your meal. This is to share the waiting of many years by the Israelites who were waiting for their Savior.

My coming into the world as a man was part of My Divine Plan to bring salvation to all of mankind. Rejoice in your prayerful preparations in addition to your gift preparation for Christmas. Your shopping may be less, but your spirit of Christmas can always be shared in My abundant graces.

Thursday, November 20, 2008

I could see families coming together to share a Thanksgiving Meal. Jesus said: My people, when your families come together, you should ask them to pray a rosary so that all of you could come together at the time of the Warning and martial law. You may even advise them how to prepare for this coming tribulation at the refuges.

Your prayers to bring family members back to My sacraments will be answered most after the Warning when they will be more open to your evangelization efforts. I love My people and this Warning experience is My mercy for all sinners to be saved. You have free will to choose to follow Me and those, who do so, will find My reward on earth and in heaven.

Friday, November 21, 2008: (Presentation of Mary)

Jesus said: My people, you have a great feast in the beginning of man’s salvation with the Presentation in the Temple of My Blessed Mother. She was conceived without sin and she was the woman that I chose out of all humanity to bring Me into this world as a man. She is a pure vessel of humility to be My tabernacle for nine months. Even now she will play an important role in Advent as you will soon be preparing for Christmas. This vision of an ascending elevator is the good news among all of the troubling events going on around you.

Even as evil is gaining control of this world, which I will permit, there is a beautiful saving grace in that My prayer warriors are growing stronger in their faith. You will be seeing more violent persecution of Christians as the tribulation draws near.

So I am sending My abundant graces for My people to have good prayer leaders and for the prayer warriors of each family to work hard in giving good example to bring souls to Me in conversion and reconversion of the lukewarm. Rejoice in this blessing and the mercy of My protection at your refuges throughout the coming tribulation.

Jesus said: My people, every time, that you come to visit Me in church at Adoration or at Mass, there is a peace and love that you can feel in your soul. When you are in the outside world, you are constantly stressed at your job in order to earn money to make a living. When you come to Me in prayer, you can relax and enjoy the peace that you have in My presence. It is difficult to make a living in today’s world that has so many cares and distractions. The worldly things are cold with little love, except when you interact with loving people. In My Real Presence you can drink in My peace and share My love, graces, and blessings.

I know what you need and when you call on My help, I am there at your side in love to take care of you. When you contrast heaven with this world, heaven is the only place that you would desire. Even more so, you do not want to follow the evil one on the broad road to hell which is a suffering in flames forever. Choose the God who loves you over the devil who hates you and deceives you, and you will have a reward beyond your comprehension in heaven.

Saturday, November 22, 2008: (St. Cecilia)

Jesus said: My people, this vision of what comes out of a sewer pipe represents the moral decay in your society of America. You know how the death culture is focused on abortion, wars, and euthanasia. But you also have homosexual activity, birth control, sterilization, prostitution, adult bookshops, bad movies, cloning of humans, and many other perversions going on in your country.

Just as raw sewage is offensive to you, these evil things that I have mentioned are very offensive to Me. I have given many messages to change your lifestyles and repent of your sins, but they are falling on deaf ears that would rather enjoy their earthly pleasures than repent. Because of your unwillingness to seek My forgiveness for your evil behavior, I will be stripping you of your money and possessions, and even the very control of your government.

Your country was founded on many God-fearing ideals that have fallen by the wayside. Now you will be paying the consequences for worshiping the gods of this world instead of worshiping Me. Be prepared for your coming persecution.

Jesus said: My people, the one world people are celebrating bringing your Democratic candidate into the Presidency. They are also celebrating prematurely how they are going to take over the world through all of their planned unions for each continent.

The money people on Wall Street are still being allowed to short stocks like the financials and auto stocks down to low numbers. With your economy dropping as the stocks drop, jobs being laid off, and very little buying, you could see a time of chaos coming in further foreclosures and desperation for food items.

It will be this fear, looting, and riots which will play into the hands of the one world people who will use this as an excuse for martial law and a take over of the money and your government. When they bankrupt your country, they will then issue a new currency in the amero, as your dollar based assets will become near worthless. This will be the currency of the North American Union which will do away with nationalism in Canada, America, and Mexico.

Your sovereignty rights and your Bill of Rights will be lost overnight, and you will wonder how all of this could be brought about. This loss of freedom will be a consequence of your unrepentant sins and your worship of earthly gods before Me. Pray to Me for help and give thanks for My protection at your refuges.

Sunday, November 23, 2008: (Christ the King)

November 23, 2008

Jesus said: My people, after reading this week’s Gospel on the judgment, it could be a wake-up call to check on your own lives how much you helped to feed the poor, clothe those in need, and help shelter the homeless.

You can also remember if you visited the sick, visited those in prison, or mourned with the families who had members die. If you have done all of these things for Me in the poor, then you will receive your reward. If you have not done so, then now would be a good time to start helping others.

There is still a greater help that you could do for anyone, and that is to evangelize the spiritual poor who have no faith or they have lost their faith. Being an evangelist to save souls will have a greater reward. So you can be a light in the dark room of the vision with My Word in their hearts and any physical help in feeding My people. Helping others gives joy to your heart also, because you made someone happy, and you allowed them to survive both physically and spiritually. Do this is remembrance of Me.

Monday, November 24, 2008: (Vietnamese martyrs)

Jesus said: My people, in the beginning of the coming tribulation it will be most important to first find a place of hiding from the authorities that are trying to kill all Christians and patriots. Your first stop may not have a lot of food and water, but your interim refuge will keep you safe for a while.

At this large barn in the vision you will have a soft place to sleep on the hay, but I will have to multiply your food and water in your backpacks. This is why you need to have food and water in your backpacks when you leave your homes.

As you see more and more events and signs leading up to a takeover of your country, it becomes more important to have your preparations for leaving all in place. Ask for My help because you are seeing signs in My messages, from others, and in the secular world.

Jesus said: My people, as much as you do not want abortion and you wish to keep your sovereignty rights, the one world people are going to press on with their agenda whether you like it or not.

Through major deficit spending in the name of bailing out banks and stimulus spending to try and revive your economy, your leaders are threatening to bankrupt your government in the process. Your leaders are so concerned with the survival of your economy, they forget that you cannot have so much debt that you cannot pay the interest or auction off the bonds needed to cover the debt. The larger the government’sdebt, the harder it is to finance, and the less confidence lenders have that their principle is safe, let alone receive their interest.

Remember that bankrupting your country is the goal of the one world people. You cannot spend more than you earn in your household, and the same is true of your government overspending. Unfortunately, these evil ones are carrying out their plot for takeover by steam rolling over the will of the people.

You do not want chips in the body, nor a North American Union, but they are working to force these things on you. Refuse to take any chips in the body, and be ready to leave for your refuges once the evil ones start mandatory chips in the body and martial law. In the end I will overpower these evil ones, and I will dash them all into hell because My power is much more than theirs. Evil will receive its just punishment, but your good deeds will bring about your reward in heaven.

Tuesday, November 25, 2008: (St. Catherine of Alexandria)

Jesus said: My people, this life is a valley of tears where you will suffer much to defend your faith against the lovers of sin in the world. Whenever you make a stand against abortion or any other immoralities of this life, you are going to meet opposition because the weak people so love their sin that they do not want anyone criticizing them or preventing them from their pleasures.

Some think wrongly that they have a right to kill their children, as long as they are not born, and even others want to kill unwanted infants. Your society has become so evil that it is very difficult to attain sainthood in such an environment. Even if others do not follow a moral stand, you must still strive for that perfection that is required for sainthood.

Your prayers and worship of Me will take time away from your worldly cares, but your spiritual needs are much more important for your eternal life than this temporal life. Keep your focus on Me and do everything out of love for Me and love for your neighbor. When you are through struggling in this life doing the best for My Name’s sake, then truly you will be joyous one day to receive your own crown of sainthood.

Jesus said: My people, some people in the winter already use wood for heating and cooking when it is cheaper than gas or other fuels. It is less dangerous than gas or liquid fuels. Having alternative fuels is a good backup if you lose power to run your gas heaters. In the winter, especially, it is hard to survive in the cold.

Alternative fuels are good not only for home use, but also for those who have refuges to warm many people. I have shown My people how to prepare their refuges for during the tribulation and this lesson on fuels is a further reminder how to keep warm in the cold of winter.

Having a warm fire also will be a source for cooking and keeping your water from freezing. It would be good to have enough stored fuel for a whole heating season. Depending on how big an area you have to heat, this could involve a large ready source of wood, kerosene, or propane. Be careful in handling your fuels so your fires do not get out of control. Trust in My providing for your needs and thank Me for this preparation for the end times.

Wednesday, November 26, 2008

Jesus said: My people, this covering up of the evil eyes in the vision means that there are many evil people walking around, but their evil intentions and even their physical appearances are disguised so you do not know about them. I know them and the intentions in their hearts, so I can warn you about them. The central bankers and those running your government are part of this evil plan to bankrupt your country and take it over.

It will be during this takeover that your lives and souls will be at risk. In the name of a bailout and security, your government is running up major deficits that will benefit the rich and not the citizens. They will continue announcing massive infusions of taxpayer dollars, with little vote from the people, that will eventually bankrupt your country.

Once the evil ones are in power, they will attempt to exterminate all Christians and patriots. Those, who do not leave for My refuges, will be at risk to be killed or martyred for your faith. Those, who call on Me and your guardian angel to lead you to a refuge, will be invisible and protected.

The choice of leaving must be before the evil ones come to your house. Trust in My warnings and leave at once when you are told, or you could face death in the detention centers.

Jesus said: My people, the evil one world people have created the problem of your recent credit crisis, and now they want to create the solution by throwing trillions of dollars into the banks and credit markets.

The real problem is how your Federal Reserve and your Treasury Departments are printing more deficit money without any authorization from your Congress. They are throwing hundreds of billions of dollars into your bad debts without any concern that too much of a deficit is worse than your recession.

Over diluting your currency with too many treasury notes in circulation is their plan to ruin your banking system. They can keep printing more money because there is nothing backing it. Your money will soon be worthless as a result of the coming takeover, and the amero will replace the dollar.

All of these radical moves are increased deficits on the taxpayer, but you have not had any say whether or not to spend these large sums, nor to whom it should be given.

Your money people are out of control, and they are making their own rules and creating a new socialistic government run by your Federal Reserve and your President. Trust in Me and be prepared to leave for your refuges when this takeover comes about.

Thursday, November 27, 2008: (Thanksgiving Day)

Jesus said: My people, every year that you come to Mass on Thanksgiving, it appears that fewer and fewer people are coming to give Me thanks. When you hear Me ask in the Gospel Where are the other nine who were healed of leprosy?, I can say that to all of those in your country who do not thank Me for their blessings.

More are falling away from worshiping Me, and they are worshiping the golden calf of Wall Street. Now your markets are down, manipulated by the one world people. These same one world people are now using their created crisis to have an excuse to take over your country by bankrupting your government.

Those, who worshiped their money more than Me, are now losing their wealth because wealth is fleeting and is gone tomorrow. You need to trust in Me and worship the One who created you, and I will see to your needs. Be the one who returned to give Me thanks, especially on your national feast of Thanksgiving.

Friday, November 28, 2008

Jesus said: My people, as you see another Christmas Season begin, you are seeing another contrast between your shopkeepers and the celebration of My birth many years ago. Many want to celebrate Christmas with all of your decorations, Christmas trees, and your gift giving.

But your society is doing everything to hide My Name and avoid any spiritual connection with My coming on to the earth. Every year you face this competition between faithful Christians and the atheistic politically correct. Even though most of your country believes in God, it is unfortunate that you let a few people spoil your celebration of Christmas in the public sector.

If you cannot acknowledge My Name before My Father in heaven, how can you be worthy of My blessings on your country? Most of your problems you have brought on yourselves because you are worshiping the gods of shopping instead of worshiping Me.

Saturday, November 29, 2008

Jesus said: My people, it is fitting on the last day of the Church Year that I should give you a vision of the last battle at Armageddon. (Rev. 16:13-16) This will be a battle of demons and evil people against My faithful and My angels.

There will also be an extended battle as the evil ones will first be killing My faithful for their faith. Later on, My good angels will do battle with the demons, as the good angels will be protecting you at My refuges. You will then see the cleansing of evil with My Comet of Chastisement.

During this time of My wrath against the evil ones, you are not to look out of your windows at My punishment. It is at that time when I showed you how evil people will suffer a hell on earth as they will walk through the flames and not be consumed. Then St. Michael will again send this evil lot of demons into the pool of fire in hell. I will then proclaim My victory and bring about My Era of Peace.

Jesus said: My people, when you are baptized, you are brought up from the depths of your sins. Your sins are cleansed and you are like a new person with grace in your soul. Your original sin and your old ways of sin are put aside, and you are now committed to following My ways of life. Do not live in the darkness of sin, but come out into My Light and live in the Light of My grace.

You are beginning your Advent celebrations leading up to the celebration of Christmas. It is My very coming and dying on the cross that has brought you salvation which now cleanses your sins because I died to atone for all of mankind’ssins. You all have an opportunity to come to heaven because I opened the gates of heaven. By being faithful to My Commandments of loving Me and your neighbor, anyone can be saved.

Repent of your sins and I will forgive you, and then grant you eternal life for being faithful to My Word. Being with Me in heaven is your goal to be able to adore Me and worship Me in love for all eternity. I love all of My children, and I desire that you be with Me as well.

Sunday, November 30, 2008: (First Sunday of Advent)

Jesus said: My people, these four weeks of Advent are marked by the four candles on the Advent Wreath. The time of waiting marks the time before the Messiah in Me was about to arrive.

This is also a time of focus on prayer and repentance similar to your Lenten observance. The first week is similar to your last week because both are preparations in keeping watch when I will return in glory. It is true also that you need to be prepared because you could die any day before I return to the earth.

By frequent Confession you can always be prepared in the state of grace in your soul when you will come before Me in your judgment. Rejoice in either case because you have to die and be judged before you can come into heaven.

Monday, December 1, 2008

Jesus said: My people, your preparation backpacks could be quite heavy, especially for riding a bicycle. Women and smaller children may find it difficult to manage such a load on the way to your refuge. It would be a prudent measure to have some kind of a trailer that could be attached to the back of your bicycles so you could more easily carry your preparations for leaving.

This time of mandatory chips in the body and martial law is drawing close, so it would be wise to be ready for its coming so you can leave immediately for your refuge. You do not want to be at your homes when the men in black will be searching for you to try and place chips in your body. If they capture you and you refuse these chips, they will place you in death camps to be killed.

The one world people plan is to control everyone with mind control chips in the body so you will obey them like robots. But My faithful will be warned ahead of this martial law so you can go to My refuges of protection where you will be made invisible to the evil ones, and I will provide for all of your needs.

Jesus said: My people, many people were hoping for a rebound in your stock market along with a good shopping season. But then the reality of your bad economy is still weighing heavily on your markets. Your government has done everything to try and bring your economy back out of recession, but confidence in your consumers is low with stock losses, house losses, and potential job losses.

Some of your people are trying to save more and limit their spending, but this has caused your recession to worsen. Some think this recession is almost over, but in fact it is only beginning, and it will have a worse effect than your business people are telling you.

This planned bankruptcy will happen, and it is just a matter of time until you reach a critical point. Be prepared in your soul by Confession, and have your backpacks ready to leave for your refuges. Trust in My help and not your wealth or possessions.

Katrina’s Confirmation: Jesus said: My people, being confirmed will make you a Soldier of Christas you are infused by the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

I am hearing your prayers for Katrina, and I am sending her graces and angels of protection to help her in life. She is very cheerful and happy in her ways before you, and a joy in your life to be around her. Thank Me for sending her into your family. Her life will be enhanced by the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Tuesday, December 2, 2008

Jesus said: My people, when your consumers have low confidence in your economy, they pull back from buying cars, homes, and large repairs, and only buy their necessities. As more stop buying these items, your economy will continue a slow down. As more people get laid off of their jobs, this cycle will continue.

It is difficult to live through hard times, but it sometimes makes you appreciate what you have. You also start depending more on My help when you cannot do much on your own. As times get worse, you will have to depend on helping each other both physically and financially.

Families need to eat and pay their bills, so as jobs get scarce, this may become more of a problem. Pray for My help in everything that you do, and life will go easier with Me helping you to carry your cross.

Wednesday, December 3, 2008: (St. Francis Xavier)

Jesus said: My people, the Gospel reading of My multiplying the loaves and fishes is a sign of My compassion for the crowd, but it is also a symbol of My sharing My Eucharist with My disciples at the Last Supper.

After My Resurrection My disciples recognized Me in the Breaking of the Bread At every Mass I am multiplied as the bread and wine are consecrated into My Body and Blood. In Holy Communion you share in My Real Presence of My Blessed Sacrament. When you have Me with you sacramentally, you gain graces to heal all of your old wounds from your sins.

Even more so in the coming tribulation I will be multiplied among you as My angels will give you Holy Communion if you cannot attend a Mass. I will also multiply your physical food and your dwellings so all of your needs will be cared for as I will protect you from the evil ones. Rejoice that I am always with My faithful as you obey My Commandments and give worship to Me, especially on Sunday.

BLACK SAINT OF THE DAY

KING DAVID’S BLACK QUEEN King of Judah, Hebron, and later all Israel, David (1013-973 B.C.) the youngest son of Jesse, was born in Bethlehem. This is the same city Yeshua, Jesus the Christ would come into the world. Samuel anointed him as Saul’s successor as Israelite king. Father God Almighty through the prophet Nathan, assured David of a perpetual (forever) dynasty from which the Messiah (or Savior) –Jesus—would come. For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior. I gave Egypt for thy ransom. Ethiopia and Seba for thee. Isaiah 43 One David’s wives, possibly the most favored, was Bath-Sheba or Bathsabee. Originally, she was the Black wife of the Hittite Uriah. (Not for this book, but look at the history of Seba, Saba. Review the Queen of Sheba stories [Queen Makeda]). Being one of Israel’s greatest kings didn’t stop David from having Uriah murdered by sending him to the front lines of battle. Like others of his time, David used black mercenary troops as well. The old Jewish historian Josephus describes later Queen of Sheba, herself, as an African Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia (Nubia Meroe in Cush, really). But today, some scholars in confusion place old Sheba in Arabia, on the nation of Yemen’s southern tip. (Review that Africa and Arabia were once connected and the ethnic definitions of Black as a race. Then search the web for what Yemenis look like, even today—US!). These minor scholars say the Sabeans (Sheba’s biblical name was Hadhramut) landed in East Africa and colonized what is now Ethiopia—European Age of Colonialization foolishness. Yet old writers place the Sabeans—and their chief cities of Sana and Marib –in Somaliland, Kenya, the Tanganyika coast or Ausanitic coast of what is now Ethiopia. The area was the center of Indian and African trade, which passed between Asia and Africa. Some say there were two Sabas or Shebas (See the Nigerian claim of the possibility of the Queen of Sheba coming from their neck of the woods). But to this date, the late Emperor Haille Selaisie of Ethiopia claimed direct ancestry to Queen Makeda, the Queen of Sheba. And we know Sabean settlements develo0ped into the Ethiopian (not Indian) Axumite state in which Saint King Ezana (Aizanas) reportedly became the first known male Christian ruler in 400 A.D. (Male because if you read the Bible’s Book of Acts, you’ll see the Ethiopian finance minister of the Kandake, warrior Queen Candace, meeting with the Apostle Philip and converting. Tradition says The Ethiopian Eunuch of Acts converted Candace’s dominion as a disciple. Apostle Matthew-the Apostle to the Ethiopians, came to help, as did Nathaniel Bartholomew, Jude Thaddeus, as did—according to tradition). Can the Ethiopian change his skin? Jeremiah 13:23 By today’s definitions (see ours, infra), Bath-Sheba was Ethiopian and black (a view held by the early church fathers). And the son of David and Bathsheba, and ancestor of Jesus, the Christ, prospered in bringing early Israel to an independent state.

Messages to John Leary Nov.19-Dec.3,2008 Wednesday, November 19, 2008 Jesus said: My people, this night scene without light represents how you could have some power outages this winter when you will need fuel for warmth, cooking, and light. Your full oil lamps should remind you of being ready as the five wise virgins in the Gospel. You have had several power outages from ice storms and wind storms. This is why I have warned you to have some back up fuels as wood, kerosene, and propane for cooking. Your sources and heaters should be independent of electricity and natural gas lines that could also be shut down to control you. If the one world people wanted to have a takeover, they could shut down your power which in turn would shut down your banks and gas stations. This is why it would be prudent to have water, food, and fuel on hand, especially for the cold of winter. You know how cold it can get without heat, even as you are warming yourselves now with just a little coldness. If your power should be cut off for a long time, then you would need enough fuel for the whole winter. I will multiply your fuel if you are being tested by the one world people to take chips in the body or if they try to force you to follow them. My refuges should also be prepared with wood forests or large full propane tanks where I could multiply your fuel. Trust in Me to keep your water from freezing and to multiply your food so you do not have to rely on outside sources that may require chips to buy and sell. With Me at your side, you will be warm this winter with enough food to survive. Give thanks and praise to Me for taking care of My faithful remnant. Thursday, November 20, 2008 Jesus said: My people, with the major events going on around you, you are being overwhelmed in your finances with your current recession. Many of your old industries are being challenged by a drop in sales in all of your sale items. These companies are on the brink of bankruptcy and many could be losing their jobs as a result. Your unemployment insurance was not set up to be able to finance large numbers for a long time. Extending such insurance may take more money than your governments could afford. Without any income, your people will be stressed to pay their bills and find food to eat. Without taxes being collected, many programs paying for Social Security and welfare will go unfunded leaving many people without an income. This is why you need to have some food set aside for these coming hard times. This may precipitate martial law and a need to go to your refuges for protection from this overwhelming disaster created by the one world people. Prayer Group: Jesus said: My people, I have been warning you in many messages to be prepared for the bankrupting of America, and the subsequent declaration of martial law. Noah had been warned of the coming flood by God, and Noah was told all of the dimensions of the Ark and what to take with him in the animals, food, and water. Now My people need to prepare also for when you will have to go to My refuges. I have told you how to pack your backpacks and what to take with you in following your guardian angel to the nearest refuge. Your refuges are going to be your Noah’sArk so you will be protected from the evil ones during the tribulation and have what you need to survive. Jesus said: My people, the beginnings of martial law could easily occur in the winter months when it may be difficult to use your bikes in the snow. In this case it may be a good plan to have a snow sled or toboggan in order to carry your backpacks, blankets, and tents. This is one more thing to have on hand should this happen in the winter. Pray for My help in whatever season that you will need to leave for My refuges. Jesus said: My people, at your houses or your refuges you will need to store some water for drinking and washing. Be sure to store your water where it will be warm and cannot freeze. In the winter this will be an extra consideration for all of your liquids and foodstuffs so they do not get spoiled with freezer burn. Also at your homes and refuges you will need extra fuel to get you through the winter because the evil ones will shut off your power when they declare martial law. Winter living will be especially difficult for those living in the North, so pray for My help to keep you warm and fed. Jesus said: My people, it is difficult to find churches that are open so you could visit My Blessed Sacrament in My tabernacle. You will be fortunate to attend hours of Adoration at My churches, so support those churches that allow you to come to Me. Every moment that you spend in Adoration will gain you graces to endure the coming and present trials that you are suffering. I had to suffer for you on the earth, and you will have to suffer also as I did. Some of you may have to suffer martyrdom for your faith, while others will be suffering a rustic life at My refuges. Be patient until I come and claim My victory over the evil ones. Jesus said: My people, Thanksgiving Day will be coming shortly, and this will be followed by the Advent Season of a new Church Year. Advent lasts only a short time, but it is another time when you could be repenting of your sins, and praying to be cleansed in Confession for your eventual Day of Judgment. You all will die some day, but by frequent Confession, you will always have a clean soul to stand before Me. As you prepare your Nativity Scenes, think of staying close to Me in your daily prayers. Jesus said: My people, when your families come together, you should ask them to pray a rosary so that all of you could come together at the time of the Warning and martial law. You may even advise them how to prepare for this coming tribulation at the refuges. Your prayers to bring family members back to My sacraments will be answered most after the Warning when they will be more open to your evangelization efforts. I love My people and this Warning experience is My mercy for all sinners to be saved. You have free will to choose to follow Me and those, who do so, will find My reward on earth and in heaven. Jesus said: My people, your weeks of Advent can be marked well by your Advent Wreath with the four candles. You can mark this in your home at supper as you light the candles and share a prayer at your meal. This is to share the waiting of many years by the Israelites who were waiting for their Savior. My coming into the world as a man was part of My Divine Plan to bring salvation to all of mankind. Rejoice in your prayerful preparations in addition to your gift preparation for Christmas. Your shopping may be less, but your spirit of Christmas can always be shared in My abundant graces. Thursday, November 20, 2008 I could see families coming together to share a Thanksgiving Meal. Jesus said: My people, when your families come together, you should ask them to pray a rosary so that all of you could come together at the time of the Warning and martial law. You may even advise them how to prepare for this coming tribulation at the refuges. Your prayers to bring family members back to My sacraments will be answered most after the Warning when they will be more open to your evangelization efforts. I love My people and this Warning experience is My mercy for all sinners to be saved. You have free will to choose to follow Me and those, who do so, will find My reward on earth and in heaven. Friday, November 21, 2008: (Presentation of Mary) Jesus said: My people, you have a great feast in the beginning of man’ssalvation with the Presentation in the Temple of My Blessed Mother. She was conceived without sin and she was the woman that I chose out of all humanity to bring Me into this world as a man. She is a pure vessel of humility to be My tabernacle for nine months. Even now she will play an important role in Advent as you will soon be preparing for Christmas. This vision of an ascending elevator is the good news among all of the troubling events going on around you. Even as evil is gaining control of this world, which I will permit, there is a beautiful saving grace in that My prayer warriors are growing stronger in their faith. You will be seeing more violent persecution of Christians as the tribulation draws near. So I am sending My abundant graces for My people to have good prayer leaders and for the prayer warriors of each family to work hard in giving good example to bring souls to Me in conversion and reconversion of the lukewarm. Rejoice in this blessing and the mercy of My protection at your refuges throughout the coming tribulation. Jesus said: My people, every time, that you come to visit Me in church at Adoration or at Mass, there is a peace and love that you can feel in your soul. When you are in the outside world, you are constantly stressed at your job in order to earn money to make a living. When you come to Me in prayer, you can relax and enjoy the peace that you have in My presence. It is difficult to make a living in today’sworld that has so many cares and distractions. The worldly things are cold with little love, except when you interact with loving people. In My Real Presence you can drink in My peace and share My love, graces, and blessings. I know what you need and when you call on My help, I am there at your side in love to take care of you. When you contrast heaven with this world, heaven is the only place that you would desire. Even more so, you do not want to follow the evil one on the broad road to hell which is a suffering in flames forever. Choose the God who loves you over the devil who hates you and deceives you, and you will have a reward beyond your comprehension in heaven. Saturday, November 22, 2008: (St. Cecilia) Jesus said: My people, this vision of what comes out of a sewer pipe represents the moral decay in your society of America. You know how the death culture is focused on abortion, wars, and euthanasia. But you also have homosexual activity, birth control, sterilization, prostitution, adult bookshops, bad movies, cloning of humans, and many other perversions going on in your country. Just as raw sewage is offensive to you, these evil things that I have mentioned are very offensive to Me. I have given many messages to change your lifestyles and repent of your sins, but they are falling on deaf ears that would rather enjoy their earthly pleasures than repent. Because of your unwillingness to seek My forgiveness for your evil behavior, I will be stripping you of your money and possessions, and even the very control of your government. Your country was founded on many God-fearing ideals that have fallen by the wayside. Now you will be paying the consequences for worshiping the gods of this world instead of worshiping Me. Be prepared for your coming persecution. Jesus said: My people, the one world people are celebrating bringing your Democratic candidate into the Presidency. They are also celebrating prematurely how they are going to take over the world through all of their planned unions for each continent. The money people on Wall Street are still being allowed to short stocks like the financials and auto stocks down to low numbers. With your economy dropping as the stocks drop, jobs being laid off, and very little buying, you could see a time of chaos coming in further foreclosures and desperation for food items. It will be this fear, looting, and riots which will play into the hands of the one world people who will use this as an excuse for martial law and a take over of the money and your government. When they bankrupt your country, they will then issue a new currency in the amero, as your dollar based assets will become near worthless. This will be the currency of the North American Union which will do away with nationalism in Canada, America, and Mexico. Your sovereignty rights and your Bill of Rights will be lost overnight, and you will wonder how all of this could be brought about. This loss of freedom will be a consequence of your unrepentant sins and your worship of earthly gods before Me. Pray to Me for help and give thanks for My protection at your refuges. f Sunday, November 23, 2008: (Christ the King) November 23, 2008 Jesus said: My people, after reading this week’sGospel on the judgment, it could be a wake-up call to check on your own lives how much you helped to feed the poor, clothe those in need, and help shelter the homeless. You can also remember if you visited the sick, visited those in prison, or mourned with the families who had members die. If you have done all of these things for Me in the poor, then you will receive your reward. If you have not done so, then now would be a good time to start helping others. There is still a greater help that you could do for anyone, and that is to evangelize the spiritual poor who have no faith or they have lost their faith. Being an evangelist to save souls will have a greater reward. So you can be a light in the dark room of the vision with My Word in their hearts and any physical help in feeding My people. Helping others gives joy to your heart also, because you made someone happy, and you allowed them to survive both physically and spiritually. Do this is remembrance of Me. Monday, November 24, 2008: (Vietnamese martyrs) Jesus said: My people, in the beginning of the coming tribulation it will be most important to first find a place of hiding from the authorities that are trying to kill all Christians and patriots. Your first stop may not have a lot of food and water, but your interim refuge will keep you safe for a while. At this large barn in the vision you will have a soft place to sleep on the hay, but I will have to multiply your food and water in your backpacks. This is why you need to have food and water in your backpacks when you leave your homes. As you see more and more events and signs leading up to a takeover of your country, it becomes more important to have your preparations for leaving all in place. Ask for My help because you are seeing signs in My messages, from others, and in the secular world. Jesus said: My people, as much as you do not want abortion and you wish to keep your sovereignty rights, the one world people are going to press on with their agenda whether you like it or not. Through major deficit spending in the name of bailing out banks and stimulus spending to try and revive your economy, your leaders are threatening to bankrupt your government in the process. Your leaders are so concerned with the survival of your economy, they forget that you cannot have so much debt that you cannot pay the interest or auction off the bonds needed to cover the debt. The larger the government’sdebt, the harder it is to finance, and the less confidence lenders have that their principle is safe, let alone receive their interest. Remember that bankrupting your country is the goal of the one world people. You cannot spend more than you earn in your household, and the same is true of your government overspending. Unfortunately, these evil ones are carrying out their plot for takeover by steam rolling over the will of the people. You do not want chips in the body, nor a North American Union, but they are working to force these things on you. Refuse to take any chips in the body, and be ready to leave for your refuges once the evil ones start mandatory chips in the body and martial law. In the end I will overpower these evil ones, and I will dash them all into hell because My power is much more than theirs. Evil will receive its just punishment, but your good deeds will bring about your reward in heaven. Tuesday, November 25, 2008: (St. Catherine of Alexandria) Jesus said: My people, this life is a valley of tears where you will suffer much to defend your faith against the lovers of sin in the world. Whenever you make a stand against abortion or any other immoralities of this life, you are going to meet opposition because the weak people so love their sin that they do not want anyone criticizing them or preventing them from their pleasures. Some think wrongly that they have a right to kill their children, as long as they are not born, and even others want to kill unwanted infants. Your society has become so evil that it is very difficult to attain sainthood in such an environment. Even if others do not follow a moral stand, you must still strive for that perfection that is required for sainthood. Your prayers and worship of Me will take time away from your worldly cares, but your spiritual needs are much more important for your eternal life than this temporal life. Keep your focus on Me and do everything out of love for Me and love for your neighbor. When you are through struggling in this life doing the best for My Name’ssake, then truly you will be joyous one day to receive your own crown of sainthood. Jesus said: My people, some people in the winter already use wood for heating and cooking when it is cheaper than gas or other fuels. It is less dangerous than gas or liquid fuels. Having alternative fuels is a good backup if you lose power to run your gas heaters. In the winter, especially, it is hard to survive in the cold. Alternative fuels are good not only for home use, but also for those who have refuges to warm many people. I have shown My people how to prepare their refuges for during the tribulation and this lesson on fuels is a further reminder how to keep warm in the cold of winter. Having a warm fire also will be a source for cooking and keeping your water from freezing. It would be good to have enough stored fuel for a whole heating season. Depending on how big an area you have to heat, this could involve a large ready source of wood, kerosene, or propane. Be careful in handling your fuels so your fires do not get out of control. Trust in My providing for your needs and thank Me for this preparation for the end times. Wednesday, November 26, 2008 Jesus said: My people, this covering up of the evil eyes in the vision means that there are many evil people walking around, but their evil intentions and even their physical appearances are disguised so you do not know about them. I know them and the intentions in their hearts, so I can warn you about them. The central bankers and those running your government are part of this evil plan to bankrupt your country and take it over. It will be during this takeover that your lives and souls will be at risk. In the name of a bailout and security, your government is running up major deficits that will benefit the rich and not the citizens. They will continue announcing massive infusions of taxpayer dollars, with little vote from the people, that will eventually bankrupt your country. Once the evil ones are in power, they will attempt to exterminate all Christians and patriots. Those, who do not leave for My refuges, will be at risk to be killed or martyred for your faith. Those, who call on Me and your guardian angel to lead you to a refuge, will be invisible and protected. The choice of leaving must be before the evil ones come to your house. Trust in My warnings and leave at once when you are told, or you could face death in the detention centers. Jesus said: My people, the evil one world people have created the problem of your recent credit crisis, and now they want to create the solution by throwing trillions of dollars into the banks and credit markets. The real problem is how your Federal Reserve and your Treasury Departments are printing more deficit money without any authorization from your Congress. They are throwing hundreds of billions of dollars into your bad debts without any concern that too much of a deficit is worse than your recession. Over diluting your currency with too many treasury notes in circulation is their plan to ruin your banking system. They can keep printing more money because there is nothing backing it. Your money will soon be worthless as a result of the coming takeover, and the amero will replace the dollar. All of these radical moves are increased deficits on the taxpayer, but you have not had any say whether or not to spend these large sums, nor to whom it should be given. Your money people are out of control, and they are making their own rules and creating a new socialistic government run by your Federal Reserve and your President. Trust in Me and be prepared to leave for your refuges when this takeover comes about. Thursday, November 27, 2008: (Thanksgiving Day) Jesus said: My people, every year that you come to Mass on Thanksgiving, it appears that fewer and fewer people are coming to give Me thanks. When you hear Me ask in the Gospel Where are the other nine who were healed of leprosy?’, I can say that to all of those in your country who do not thank Me for their blessings. More are falling away from worshiping Me, and they are worshiping the golden calf of Wall Street. Now your markets are down, manipulated by the one world people. These same one world people are now using their created crisis to have an excuse to take over your country by bankrupting your government. Those, who worshiped their money more than Me, are now losing their wealth because wealth is fleeting and is gone tomorrow. You need to trust in Me and worship the One who created you, and I will see to your needs. Be the one who returned to give Me thanks, especially on your national feast of Thanksgiving. Friday, November 28, 2008 Jesus said: My people, as you see another Christmas Season begin, you are seeing another contrast between your shopkeepers and the celebration of My birth many years ago. Many want to celebrate Christmas with all of your decorations, Christmas trees, and your gift giving. But your society is doing everything to hide My Name and avoid any spiritual connection with My coming on to the earth. Every year you face this competition between faithful Christians and the atheistic politically correct. Even though most of your country believes in God, it is unfortunate that you let a few people spoil your celebration of Christmas in the public sector. If you cannot acknowledge My Name before My Father in heaven, how can you be worthy of My blessings on your country? Most of your problems you have brought on yourselves because you are worshiping the gods of shopping instead of worshiping Me. Saturday, November 29, 2008 Jesus said: My people, it is fitting on the last day of the Church Year that I should give you a vision of the last battle at Armageddon. (Rev. 16:13-16) This will be a battle of demons and evil people against My faithful and My angels. There will also be an extended battle as the evil ones will first be killing My faithful for their faith. Later on, My good angels will do battle with the demons, as the good angels will be protecting you at My refuges. You will then see the cleansing of evil with My Comet of Chastisement. During this time of My wrath against the evil ones, you are not to look out of your windows at My punishment. It is at that time when I showed you how evil people will suffer a hell on earth as they will walk through the flames and not be consumed. Then St. Michael will again send this evil lot of demons into the pool of fire in hell. I will then proclaim My victory and bring about My Era of Peace. Jesus said: My people, when you are baptized, you are brought up from the depths of your sins. Your sins are cleansed and you are like a new person with grace in your soul. Your original sin and your old ways of sin are put aside, and you are now committed to following My ways of life. Do not live in the darkness of sin, but come out into My Light and live in the Light of My grace. You are beginning your Advent celebrations leading up to the celebration of Christmas. It is My very coming and dying on the cross that has brought you salvation which now cleanses your sins because I died to atone for all of mankind’ssins. You all have an opportunity to come to heaven because I opened the gates of heaven. By being faithful to My Commandments of loving Me and your neighbor, anyone can be saved. Repent of your sins and I will forgive you, and then grant you eternal life for being faithful to My Word. Being with Me in heaven is your goal to be able to adore Me and worship Me in love for all eternity. I love all of My children, and I desire that you be with Me as well. Sunday, November 30, 2008: (First Sunday of Advent) Jesus said: My people, these four weeks of Advent are marked by the four candles on the Advent Wreath. The time of waiting marks the time before the Messiah in Me was about to arrive. This is also a time of focus on prayer and repentance similar to your Lenten observance. The first week is similar to your last week because both are preparations in keeping watch when I will return in glory. It is true also that you need to be prepared because you could die any day before I return to the earth. By frequent Confession you can always be prepared in the state of grace in your soul when you will come before Me in your judgment. Rejoice in either case because you have to die and be judged before you can come into heaven. Monday, December 1, 2008 Jesus said: My people, your preparation backpacks could be quite heavy, especially for riding a bicycle. Women and smaller children may find it difficult to manage such a load on the way to your refuge. It would be a prudent measure to have some kind of a trailer that could be attached to the back of your bicycles so you could more easily carry your preparations for leaving. This time of mandatory chips in the body and martial law is drawing close, so it would be wise to be ready for its coming so you can leave immediately for your refuge. You do not want to be at your homes when the men in black will be searching for you to try and place chips in your body. If they capture you and you refuse these chips, they will place you in death camps to be killed. The one world people plan is to control everyone with mind control chips in the body so you will obey them like robots. But My faithful will be warned ahead of this martial law so you can go to My refuges of protection where you will be made invisible to the evil ones, and I will provide for all of your needs. Jesus said: My people, many people were hoping for a rebound in your stock market along with a good shopping season. But then the reality of your bad economy is still weighing heavily on your markets. Your government has done everything to try and bring your economy back out of recession, but confidence in your consumers is low with stock losses, house losses, and potential job losses. Some of your people are trying to save more and limit their spending, but this has caused your recession to worsen. Some think this recession is almost over, but in fact it is only beginning, and it will have a worse effect than your business people are telling you. This planned bankruptcy will happen, and it is just a matter of time until you reach a critical point. Be prepared in your soul by Confession, and have your backpacks ready to leave for your refuges. Trust in My help and not your wealth or possessions. Katrina’sConfirmation: Jesus said: My people, being confirmed will make you a Soldier of Christas you are infused by the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I am hearing your prayers for Katrina, and I am sending her graces and angels of protection to help her in life. She is very cheerful and happy in her ways before you, and a joy in your life to be around her. Thank Me for sending her into your family. Her life will be enhanced by the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Tuesday, December 2, 2008 Jesus said: My people, when your consumers have low confidence in your economy, they pull back from buying cars, homes, and large repairs, and only buy their necessities. As more stop buying these items, your economy will continue a slow down. As more people get laid off of their jobs, this cycle will continue. It is difficult to live through hard times, but it sometimes makes you appreciate what you have. You also start depending more on My help when you cannot do much on your own. As times get worse, you will have to depend on helping each other both physically and financially. Families need to eat and pay their bills, so as jobs get scarce, this may become more of a problem. Pray for My help in everything that you do, and life will go easier with Me helping you to carry your cross. Wednesday, December 3, 2008: (St. Francis Xavier) Jesus said: My people, the Gospel reading of My multiplying the loaves and fishes is a sign of My compassion for the crowd, but it is also a symbol of My sharing My Eucharist with My disciples at the Last Supper. After My Resurrection My disciples recognized Me in the Breaking of the Bread At every Mass I am multiplied as the bread and wine are consecrated into My Body and Blood. In Holy Communion you share in My Real Presence of My Blessed Sacrament. When you have Me with you sacramentally, you gain graces to heal all of your old wounds from your sins. Even more so in the coming tribulation I will be multiplied among you as My angels will give you Holy Communion if you cannot attend a Mass. I will also multiply your physical food and your dwellings so all of your needs will be cared for as I will protect you from the evil ones. Rejoice that I am always with My faithful as you obey My Commandments and give worship to Me, especially on Sunday. www.johnleary.com

BLACK SAINT OF THE DAY

Ammon, Zeno, Pope

Amoes, Hermit;

AMOUN of Nitria and his wife. (As reported to Lausus, or Palladius, unclear). I was around 22 years when my folks died. My uncle forced me to marry. In my day, to be married in the ceremony includes the decking with a crown, and a marriage chamber ritual.

But as soon as my bride and I were placed in bed, we made a pact to remain celibate, and virgins. My wife agreed to this, but desired we remain in the same residence, but different beds.

For 18 years, we accomplished this. I made balsam, which was labor intensive. I spent hours daily, in this vocation, working and praying.

Later my wife suggested we live apart. I headed for the mountain of Nitria, and occupied a cell (living space) with two rooms. This was in the manner that the Philosopher writer, Philo sayd as the cells of the African Therapeutae. They had been a Jewish group that preceded Christianity. I visited my wife two times yearly.

I lived 20 years in that manner. I died as a monk, at 62 years of age.

On one occasion, a rabid boy was sent to me. Chains held him, as he inflicted injury on himself. The father bringing him asked for cures. I said to them, “Why tell me, asking for grace beyond my ability. The remedy is in your abilities.)

I told them to pay the widow woman for the ox that was secretly slaughtered, and then the grace of God would cure the boy.” This, they did, and the boy was healed.

At another time, some asked for favor. I in turn requested they bring me a large water jar, called a dolium.

I could use it to store water for the pilgrims and visitors. Those asking said they would. One of them reneged, however, not wanting to “kill his camel” by hauling so large a vessel.

The others requesting grace, made such as a mule train, tied together, to carry the dolium vessel. They brought them to me.

I told them that the friend who had refused had lost his camel in death while they were returning to me.

The other travelers who delivered the dolium returned home to find the camel of the recalcitrant promisor had been devoured by wolves.

The great Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria also reported of me.

At the time when Saint Antony was in the mountain, he sent monks to me. I was walking back with them, along with my disciple, Theodore. But I worried about me being naked when we reached the Lycus River (River Lycum), which encompasses a tributary gully to the Nile. I talked over the situation, but suddenly through God’s grace, an angel carried me across the body of water. Still, the other travelers had to swim.

We reached Antony. In welcome, he said God had shown him many situations in my life. Antony bade us pray for one another. He also said I should not return to my place to die. I did return. But God graced Antony to see angels life my soul lifted to heaven.

Long before the renaissance, or so-called the Age of Enlightenment, I was known a a scientist ,philospher. teacher and writer of mathmatics. I guided the School of Aristotle at Alexandria, Kemet school of philosophy. My curriculum was based on Aristotle’s methods. I was humbled by St. Jerome commented favorably on my writing efforts.

 

I served in the local government. God allowed me to maintain my humility. But I still had faults. I loathed ignorance, teaching many who received the little knowledge I had. I understood and taught geometry, physics, rhetoric, dialectic, astronomy, and philosophy.

In 263 A.D. rebels fought against Rome. Alexandria was seiged, Starvation was rampant. As I had served in Alexandria government positions, I successfully meditated with Roman military authorities, allowing the sick and elderly to leave the besieged city.

I negotiated a pass for children, women, the sick and elderly out of the area. But because of the war, I left Alexandria, traveling to Caesaria in Palestine, and then to the Council of Antioch.

On the way to the Council of Antioch through Laodicea, I was offered post of bishop there staying 15 years. While there, a local bishop died, and I was appointed to the episcpate in Laodicea, Syria, serving 15 years. I died in 283 A.D. 3 July. I died in 283 A.D. 3 July.

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

At church service on one day, the gospel reading was Matt.19.21, and sayd, “If you wish to be perfect, go, and sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”

This was my clarion call, a direct word from God, Almighty. Scripture reading was directed to me.

I went home, and got rid of all I owned, to my neighbors my three hundred fertile lands. My other possessions and chattels I sold, giving the proceeds to the poor. I reserved a reasonable and necessary amount for my sister, then a young woman. (Vitae Patrum, I, Vita Antonii.2) Her care would be by the local community of women.

I chose to live in solitude, by him near my village. I supported myself, working with his hands. I made acquaintance with Christians also living in solitude. Their counsel and my constant prayer to the Almighty led me to find out how to serve God.

Solitude with silence I discovered became necessary. For 35 years, I grew in the contemplative and meditative life, and went further into the desert. When people learned of me and my way, others came to join.

God grace me with radiance, an ability to speak, and a humble dignity. Through God’s grace, I gained an even-tempered judgment. Athanasius in writing of me said, “My way of life was the beginning of the 'peopling of the desert”.

Fr Doucette - Thu, Dec 18, 2008: "Prepare for My coming"

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE

"Prepare for My coming"

Thursday, December 18, 2008

Dear Friends,

He (John the Baptist) went throughout the whole region of the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah: ?A voice of one crying out in the desert: ?Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be made low. The winding roads shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth, and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.? Luke 3:3?6

I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday morning in the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince

Here is another message Jesus gave to Joseph. Our Lord spoke to him in these words, The Father sent John the Baptist ahead of Me to prepare the people for My public life. John came in the spirit and power of Isaiah to call the people to repentance and he did this by a baptism. He loved to quote the prophet Isaiah who wrote that he was the one crying in the desert.

All are called to experience the salvation that I brought to you all. The first thing you are called to do is to repent of all your sins through the Sacrament of Reconciliation or Confession and come to believe in Me. Clear away all your doubts and questions and accept Me with all your heart.

I showed you that I am the Son of God by all the miracles I performed: healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, making the lame walk and raising the dead to life. This surely shows that I have great power and that I come from God. All My friends who have healing power show that they are close to Me and they are genuine.

John the Baptist called the people to the Jordan River where he would talk to them saying that I was near and they should prepare their hearts to receive Me. They are to be like good trees that produce good fruit. If you do not produce good fruit, you will be cut down and thrown in the fire.

Some thought that John was the Messiah but he clearly told them that he was not the Messiah but He would soon appear. He said that he must decrease and I must increase. This shows his humility knowing that his mission was to prepare the way for Me. My friends listen to John the Baptist and prepare for My coming by cleansing your heart.

Powerful Vision to littlest of servants December 17, 2008

While in Church after MASS I received the following vision.

I saw a place that had a sea of fire as far as I could see. I then saw what looked like a huge garage door and it opened downward to create like a slide.

I then saw a multitude of people sliding down into the sea of fire. I could then see that the people were screaming in extreme agony.

I then saw demons and they were torturing people. I saw people and their heads were being crushed and bodies torn apart.

I saw others whose genitals were being tortured. I saw some who were screaming out in intense pain like their hands were on fire.

I was then given the understanding that this place was HELL and the people were being tortured in that part of their body that they used to commit so much sin.

The ones I saw whose heads were being crushed and bodies torn apart were abortion doctors.

The ones whose genitals were being tortured had committed sexual sins.

And the ones whose hands were on fire were the priests, bishops, and cardinals and others who had abused the MOST HOLY EUCHARIST.

JESUS then spoke and told me that many were headed to hell and that we needed to pray.

After this vision I was crying and praying that JESUS have mercy and please help us all.

After seeing this I would never wish that anyone would end up in HELL.

This vision was terrifying and disturbing.

I would ask that we all pray for our brothers and sisters who have been tricked by satan and have become slaves to sin. That we pray through OUR BLESSED MOTHER TO JESUS SO THAT WE CAN HELP SAVE THEM.

PRAYER AND ESPECIALLY THE PRAYERS OF THE ROSARY AND DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET WILL SAVE SOULS.

I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE PRAY. YOU CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TERRIFYING THIS VISION WAS. HELL IS REAL AND IT EXISTS.

Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 21 - DO NOT LOOK TOWARD MATERIAL THINGS

"Present on the altar is the One whom the Magi saw lying in the manger: Christ, the living Bread who came down from Heaven to give life to the world, the true Lamb who gives His own life for the salvation of humanity." (Pope Benedict XVI)

"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, Word of all truth, you are the Son of man, the brother of us all, the Bread of Life, present among us, the beginning and end of our road . . . . You are with us, you, the king of the whole world, though apparently hidden, helpless, forgotten, and ignored at this Advent season" (Fr. Hugo Rahner, S.J.).

Once my wife and I had to take a flight that had 4 other stops before arriving at the Dallas-Forth Worth Airport. At the first stop, a little white truck drove up to the plane and my wife watched it pull up to the wing. She asked, "What's that truck doing?"

I explained that some airlines don't completely fuel up a plane for various reasons & we were taking on more fuel. This process was repeated at the next three stops, and my wife watched the plane being fueled each time.

At the last stop, I said, "Ya know, in spite of all these delays, we're making pretty good time."

My wife pointed out the window and said, "I don't know. That lil' white truck is keeping up with us.

Cardinal Ratzinger August 28 1991 "We want to be concerned that this place, which has become a place of prayer and faith, remain and come to be even more in the most interior unity with the entire Church." Medjugorje and the Church, Sr Emmanuel & Denis Nolan p 4

Mother Teresa - Strive to soak up the simplicity and purity of Christ. Try to be more in tune with God and more open to Him, so that you will be able to see His face.

Meditations by Padre Pio - Stay very close to the crib of this most beautiful Child, especially during these days of His birth. If you love riches, here you will find the gold the Kings left Him. If you love the smoke of honors, here you will find that of incense. And if you love the delicacy of the senses, you will smell the perfumed myrrh which perfumes the entire Holy stable.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Joy calls for a good humor

"An aid to good humor is the spirit of joy. Joy is rejoicing in another's progress. This is one of the rarest virtues and the last to be won. Too often the progress of others is regarded as stolen from self. A man loses his good humor when he calls his wife `dear' when they are out and an `ox' when at home.

The wife loses her joy when she would rather spend her time mending his ways than mending his socks. All have joy when they thank God that their friends have done good work, that they are loved by others, and that their virtues proclaim the joy of a good conscience."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -September, first Friday. In the evening, I saw the Mother of God, with Her breast bared and pierced with a sword. She was shedding bitter tears and shielding us against God's terrible punishment.

God wants to inflict terrible punishment on us, but He cannot because the Mother of God is shielding us. Horrible fear seized my soul. I kept praying incessantly for Poland, for my dear Poland, which is so lacking in gratitude for the Mother of God. If it were not for the Mother of God, all our efforts would be of little use.

I intensified my prayers and sacrifices for our dear native land, but I see that I am a drop before the wave of evil. How can a drop stop a wave: O yes! A drop is nothing of itself, but with You, Jesus, I shall stand up bravely to the whole wave of evil and even to the whole of hell. Your omnipotence can do all things. (686)

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.

Dec 21 - DO NOT LOOK TOWARD MATERIAL THINGS

During Advent in 1985, Our Lady said:

Dear children, I am calling you to prepare yourselves for Christmas by means of penance, prayer, and works of charity. Dear children, do not look toward material things, because then you will not be able to experience Christmas (Weekly Message Dec 5, 1985).

St. Paul also warns of materialism or "worldly desires":

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly, while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ (Ti 2:11-13).

Reflection:

Many of us are aware of the hollowness of a materialistic attitude during the Christmas season, of how it can smother the spiritual message of Christ's birth. In this vein, the Second Vatican Council stated :

Since in our times, variations of materialism are rampant everywhere, even among Catholics, the laity should not only learn doctrine more carefully, especially those main points which are the subjects of controversy, but should also provide the witness of an evangelical life in contrast to all forms of materialism (The Laity, 31).

We are called, then, not just to avoid materialism in our own lives, but to serve as an example to others of simplicity of lifestyle and the priority of spiritual values over the material.

Application:

Let us simply take Our Lady's advice today to, "prepare…for Christmas by means of penance, prayer, and works of charity…do not look toward material things because then you will not be able to experience Christmas."

Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 19 - A FLOWER BY THE CRIB

St. John of the Cross, Carmelite Priest and Doctor, Spain (c. 1542-1591) Of St. John of the Cross it is written that the Holy Eucharist was "all his glory, all his happiness, and for him far surpassed all the things of the earth" (The Collected Works of St. John of The Cross).

Mother Teresa - We Christians cannot be divided. We must all work together. We are all one. In this unity, where two or three are gathered, Christ is there with us.

Meditations by Padre Pio - May the Holy Family never withdraw its loving gaze from you and your family, Model yourselves on it and you will have peace, and spiritual and temporal well-being.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Our conscience guides our behavior "Two considerations are helpful in developing a good disposition. The first is to be mindful that a happy conscience makes a happy outlook on life, and an unhappy conscience makes us miserable on the inside and everyone else miserable on the outside. When our conscience bothers us, whether we admit it or not, we often try to justify it by correcting others, or by finding fault with them." St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Mary is my Instructress, who is ever teaching me how to live for God. My spirit brightens up in your gentleness and your humility, O Mary. (620)

In the evening, when I was praying, the Mother of God told me, Your lives must be like mine: quiet and hidden, in unceasing union with God, pleading for humanity and preparing the world for the second coming of God. (625)

March 25, 1936. In the morning, during meditation, God's presence enveloped me in a special way, as I saw the immeasurable greatness of God and, at the same time, His condescension to His creatures. Then I saw the Mother of God, who said to me,Oh, how pleasing to God is the soul that follows faithfully the inspirations of His grace! I gave the Savior to the world; as for you, you have to speak to the world about His great mercy and prepare the world for the Second Coming of Him who will come, not as a merciful Savior, but as a just Judge.

Oh, how terrible is that day! Determined is the day of justice, the day of divine wrath. The Angels tremble before it. Speak to souls about this great mercy while it is still the time for [granting] mercy. If you keep silent now, you will be answering for a great number of souls on that terrible day. Fear nothing. Be faithful to the end. I sympathize with you. (635)

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.

Dec 19 - A FLOWER BY THE CRIB

The Blessed Mother speaks of the family and dedication to Christ:

Dear children, today I would like you to do something concrete for Jesus Christ. As a sign of dedication to the Lord, I want each family member to bring a flower to him before Christmas. I wish every member of the family to have a flower by the crib of Jesus so that when he comes he will see your dedication to him! (Weekly Message Dec 20,1984)

In the end we are all one family for we have the same Father:

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name (Eph 3:14-15).

Reflection:

Our Lady often speaks of the family in her messages at Medjugorje. She stresses that it is the cradle of faith and prayer, where we first learn to love. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German clergyman who was imprisoned by the Nazis for his beliefs, wrote:

Most people have forgotten nowadays what a home can mean, though some of us have come to realize it as never before. It is a kingdom of its own in the midst of the world, a haven of refuge amid the turmoil of our age, nay more, a sanctuary.

It is not founded on the shifting sands of private and public life, but has its peace in God. For it is God who gave it its special meaning and dignity, its nature and privilege, its destiny and worth.

Let us pray, as Our Lady asks, that our families be bright flowers of love as we prepare to celebrate the birth of the Messiah.

Application: At Christmas, as a family, plan to bring a flower or poinsettia to Mass and place it at the crib or nativity scene "as a sign of dedication to Jesus."

SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH

"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."

Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.

Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails. Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

Mark..Khemetian, born in Africa. Tradition holds that originally, Peter and Mark set out on evangelization mission. But one night, Peter dreamed he had go with Mark, to Rome and then to Alexandria, Kemet. Mark preached in Rome, and then returned to Kemet. His efforts drew many to Christ. He finally landed in Alexandria.

Another tradition by Eusebius, accords Mark the first bishop of Alexandria. As he entered the city gates, a sandal rap broke. A shoemaker was chosen to fix the leather—Anianus. He became Mark’s first disciple and convert to Yeshua, Jesus the Christ in Alexandria.

Enemies, however, sought out Mark. The writer of the Gospel of Mark after sufficient teaching, appointed Anianus bishop, and ordained three priests and seven deacons. Leaving the city, he told them to "serve and comfort the faithful brethren.”

After some years, Mark returned. The Christian community had grown considerably. But his enemies had not forgotten him. They jailed him.

On the following morning, Mark’s neck was tied with a rope. The malefactors dragged him by the neck from Alexandria up to the little port of Bucoles until he died. They attempted to burn the body. The flames would not touch it. Christians in the community claimed the remains, burying it in a Church Mark had founded. It is said he is the first Christian martyr of the Church in Kemet.

He is credited with writing one of the four Christian canonical gospels, or at least his name and influence is attached to it. Severus, Bishop of Al-Ushmunain, in late tenth century in his Life of Apostle and Evangelist Mark, said Mark was one of the wine pouring servants that Jesus turned from water at marriage feast of Cana. Severus goes on to say that, Mark’s house was where Jesus appeared to disciples who were hiding after His resurrection dead.

Anianus, the shoemaker of the sandal of Mark, became a saint, whose memorial is celebrated under Anianus.

But through the grace of God, I was called to Christianity, after visiting Jerusalem, the places where Yeshua Maryam, and the apostles walked and talked, the Palestine Holy Land.

At a memorial service there, called the Exaltation of the Cross, I pressed through the crowds to get a good place in the Church. But a mysterious force did not allow me to enter it. I could not pass the doorway.

I became overwhelmed with grief for my life’s activities up to then. I spiritually asked Maryam for her blessing,help and remedy. An interior locution (voice) told me to go beyond the Jordan River. That a voice told me go to the desert, which I did immediately. I became a hermitess, and for 50 years practiced that in repentence, living on herbs and berries.

Now one day a holy man, Zosimus from Palestine, and a friend of God came to visit. He informed me he would return in a year. When he returned, I had died, in 421 A.D. A lion with its paws, helped him dig my grave. Zosimus wrote of me.

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE

"John spoke very clearly about Me"

Monday, December 15, 2008

Dear Friends,

"The angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right of the altar of incense. Zechariah was troubled by what he saw, and fear came upon him. But the angel said to him, 'Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear a son, and you shall name him John.

And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He will drink neither wine nor strong drink.

He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb, and he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of fathers toward children and the disobedient to the understanding of the righteous, to prepare a people fit for the Lord.'" Luke 1:11-17

 

Here is another message from Our Lord addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him saying, "Next week you will celebrate the Great Feast of Christmas. It was six months before My birth that John the Baptist was born. His parents did not have any children until their old age. Elizabeth was said to be barren but one day the angel came to Zechariah, her husband, and he told him that his wife was to have a son.

They would call him John. He would be filled with the Holy Spirit and he would have the spirit and power of Elijah. He was the one who prepared the way for My public life. He introduced Me to the people when I came to the Jordan River to be baptized by Him. He is the greatest of the prophets and he played a great role in My life. He is a martyr, as he was killed at the command of King Herod.

I would like you all to read the passages in the Bible, especially in St. Luke's Gospel, that give the story of this holy man. He was born after an intervention from heaven. He went to live in the desert in great suffering and with very little to eat. He spent his time in prayer getting ready for the mission he was given by the Father. He spoke very clearly about Me as the Messiah, the Saviour, who was coming to save the people.

My baptism at the hands of John the Baptist was very important. It was at that moment that I gave My 'yes' to the Father to the mission He had given Me. I accepted to give My life for the salvation of all the people of the world. Today I call them all again to believe in Me and to follow Me so that they may be saved. I bless you all."

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2008 - CORE GROUP

MY MOST PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,

I GREET YOU AND WELCOME YOU INTO THE PLACE OF RESERVE IN MY HEART. I GREET YOU WITH SUCH LOVE THAT ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS THE DEPTHS. I LONG FOR YOU MY CHILDREN AND NOW I GIVE TO YOU LITTLE PETALS FROM HEAVEN.

IT HAS BEEN SOME TIME SINCE I HAVE GIVEN YOU THESE WORDS MEANT ESPECIALLY FOR YOU. I HAVE HELD MUCH IN MY HEART BECAUSE IT IS NOT YET TIME FOR ME TO CALL YOU TOGETHER FOR YOUR FINAL INSTRUCTIONS.

MY CHILDREN, I HOLD YOU TODAY AS BABES, JUST AS I HELD JESUS SO LONG AGO. I HOLD YOU LIKE THIS BECAUSE YOU HAVE COME SO FAR IN YOUR JOURNEY AND YOU HAVE GROWN SO TIRED AND YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED MUCH PAIN, SORROW, AND LONELINESS. THE WORLD HAS CAST YOU ASIDE JUST AS THEY HAVE DONE TO JESUS.

YET YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED A JOY THAT FEW HAVE EVER KNOWN. LITTLE ONES, YOU HAVE BEEN NOURISHED BY THE TRUTH. YOU HAVE BEEN FED AS THOUGH INFANTS UNTIL NOW, WHEN YOU HOLD THE TRUTH IN MATURITY.

BECAUSE OF YOUR FAITH AND FIDELITY, IT CAN BE SAID THAT YOU HAVE GROWN IN WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING AND ALL THIS IS NEEDED FOR THE GREETING OF JESUS. OFTEN I HAVE SAID TO YOU, JESUS WILL KNOW YOU. HE KNOWS YOU NOW.

HE HAS KNOWN YOU ALWAYS. IT WAS FROM YOUR BEGINNING THAT YOU WHERE CHOSEN EACH ONE SEPARATE, YET COMING TOGETHER IN UNITY. OH MY CHILDREN I CANNOT TELL YOU, FOR NO WORDS SUFFICE, HOW BLESSED YOU ARE. YOU ARE LOVED DEAR CHILDREN WITHOUT BLEMISH.

MY LOVES, YOU COME TODAY AWAY FROM THE WORLD. IT IS A TIME FOR YOU TO BE TOGETHER, PRAYING AND CONVERSING. THIS YOU NEED THAT YOU ARE UP ON EMOTIONS, TRIALS, AND JOYS.

YOU MUST ALWAYS BE FOR EACH OTHER. THE HOUR OF WAITING WILL SOON COME TO AN END, AND THEN YOU MUST STAND TOGETHER, STRONG AND COURAGEOUS, HELPING OTHERS TO REMAIN WITH YOU, THAT IN UNITY YOU PASS TO THE NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH THIS WILL BE A TIME THAT WILL DRAW GREAT JOY, SO MUCH SO, THAT THIS OVERPOWERING JOY COULD NOT BE WITHSTOOD, EXCEPT WHEN YOU ALL STAND TOGETHER.

UNITY HAS BEEN A WORD OF GREAT DISTINCTION, DWELL ON ITS MEANING. FOCUS ON YOUR PURPOSE AND THEN WITH ALL YOUR HEARTS REJOICE. EVEN NOW WHEN YOU GROW SO WEARY, REJOICE. YOUR REWARDS WILL BE MANY AND THEY WILL BEGIN WITH THOSE

IN YOUR OWN FAMILIES. BUT YOUR PERSONAL JOY WILL COME WHEN YOU LOOK INTO THE EYES OF JESUS BECAUSE HIS LOVE FOR YOU SURPASSES ALL ELSE.

NOW I SPEAK TO YOU OF THESE DAYS OF ADVENT. REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE PREPARING FOR A GREAT CELEBRATION, WHEN ALL OF HEAVEN RESOUNDS WITH PRAISE FOR JESUS.

PREPARE WELL, NOT TO EXCLUDE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES, BUT TO KEEP PEACE IN YOUR HEARTS AND IN YOU HOMES. A GREAT GRACE WILL BE YOURS AT THIS TIME AND ALL IN UNITY SHALL RECEIVE IT. FROM YOUR SOULS WILL COME A LIGHT AND ALL YOU LOVE WILL SEE IT.

SOME MAY REMARK ON IT, BUT MOST WILL REMAIN SILENT, SINCE THEY FEEL INADEQUATE TO DESCRIBE WHAT THEY SEE AND WHAT THEY FEEL. BE QUIET, LET GOD DO HIS WORK THROUGH YOU. LET THE PEACE OF JESUS ENCOMPASS YOU AS YOU UNKNOWINGLY TOUCH MANY HEARTS AND SOULS.

BELIEVE IN WHAT IS SAID TO YOU AND DO NOT GO ABOUT QUESTIONING WHAT IS BEING DONE THROUGH THIS GRACE. ACCEPT THIS MY CHILDREN AS ONE OF YOUR GREATEST GIFTS UP TO THIS TIME. ACCEPT WHAT IS YOURS PRAYING AND THANKING GOD FOR HIS OUTPOURING OF LOVE.

LITTLE ONES, YOU STRUGGLE NOW WITH THE LACK OF SHEPHERDING OF YOUR PRIESTS. CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THOSE WHO SO NEGLECT THEIR FLOCKS. YOU ARE THE SENTINELS OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST, SO DO WHAT YOU CAN TO MAKE REPARATION FOR THOSE PRIESTS WHO SO NEGLECT THEIR SHEEP.

MY LOVES, YOU CARRY MUCH BURDENS AND YOU ARE HAVING TO SACRIFICE YOUR FREQUENT RECEPTION OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN. HOWEVER, YOU ARE NOT ABANDONED IN THESE TIMES, BUT YOU ARE MADE AWARE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF RECEIVING JESUS WHO NOURISHES BODY AND SOUL.

YOU WILL BE CARED FOR MY CHILDREN, BUT YOUR YEARNING IS ALSO A PREPARATION FOR WHAT IS TO COME. YOU WILL FALL IN ADORATION WHEN YOUR EYES MEET THE EYES OF JESUS. HE WILL PICK YOU UP AND BRING YOU BESIDE HIM AND YOU WILL TRULY, TRULY EXPERIENCE AS NEVER BEFORE THE SPLENDOR OF HEAVEN.

MY PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN, I LOVE YOU SO DEEPLY. DESPITE YOUR WEAKNESSES AND FAILINGS, YOU REMAIN PRECIOUS TO ME. I GIVE TO YOU AND TO THE ONE WHO COULD NOT BE WITH YOU, HE IS ALWAYS WITH ME, A PIECE OF MY HEART THAT YOU CAN CALL YOUR OWN. YOU HAVE EARNED THIS TREASURE WITH PERSEVERANCE AND WITH TRUE LOVE. JUST AS I LOVE YOU, I KNOW YOUR LOVE FOR ME AND MOST ESPECIALLY FOR MY SON. I GO TO YOU INDIVIDUALLY AND KISS YOU, AND I WHISPER

TO EACH HEART, I LOVE YOU. I AM YOUR MOTHER AND I WILL SEE TO ALL YOUR NEEDS. LET ME RESIDE WITHIN YOU THAT I CAN HELP YOU WELCOME JESUS FOR ALL ETERNITY.

I BLESS YOU ONE AND ALL IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY GHOST. I BLESS YOU AS QUEEN AND I BLESS YOU AS ONLY A MOTHER CAN BLESS HER CHILDREN.

I WILL HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND THESE PETALS FROM HEAVEN, AND I WILL HELP YOU PRAISE AND THANK GOD FOREVER, FOREVER, AND FOREVER.

Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 15 - I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS JOY

"The season of Advent is the perfect opportunity for us to recall the worthy reason why the Holy Father convoked the extraordinary Year of the Eucharist: so that we would 'contemplate more intensely the face of the Incarnate Word.'

For Advent prepares us to experience that incomparable moment at Christmas when we will behold God's human face in Jesus" (Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P.).

Remember there's no I in team... (but there is a M and an E)

Mother Teresa -

Let us pray for one another.

Let us pray that we may accomplish our life's mission, which is to be holy. Let us pray that we will be the love and kindness of God in today's world.

Meditations by Padre Pio - To fear losing yourself in the arms of Divine Goodness, is stranger than the fear of an infant held tightly in its mother's arms.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - We do have control

Just as there is a right and wrong theory about the sun and the earth, so there is a right and wrong theory about external circumstances. If we revolve about what happens on the outside, then the latter determines our moods and attitudes. But if we make what is external revolve around us, we can determine the amount of their influence.

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - On Friday evening during the rosary, when I was thinking about tomorrow's journey and about the importance of the matter which I was to present to Father Andrasz,* fear seized me at the sight of my misery and incapability, and of the greatness of God's work. Crushed by this suffering, I submitted myself to the will of God.

At that moment, I saw Jesus, in a bright garment, near my kneeler. He said, Why are you afraid to do My will? Will I not help you as I have done thus far? Repeat every one of My demands to those who represent Me on earth, but do only what they tell you to do. At that, a certain strength entered my soul. (489)

In the evening, when I was walking in the garden saying my rosary and came to the cemetery, I opened the gate a little and began to pray for a while, and I asked them interiorly, "You are very happy are you not?" Then I heard the words, "We are happy in the measure that we have fulfilled God's will"-and then silence as before. I became introspective and reflected for a long time on how I am fulfilling God's will and how I am profiting from the time that God has given me. (515)

*Father Sopocko, not sure of Sister Faustina's inspirations regarding the establishing of a new community, wanted to refer the matter to one more priest for consideration, and for that reason he told Sister Faustina to give an account of all the commands she received to her former confessor, Father Andrasz, S.J., in Cracow.

Dailys - http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html - Quote of the Day Just as we can never separate asceticism from mysticism, so in St. John of the Cross we find darkness and light, suffering and joy, sacrifice and love united together so closely that they seem at times to be identified. -Thomas Merton

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. -

DECEMBER 15 - I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS JOY

Our Lady speaks of joy in this Advent message :

Dear children, I invite you to pray durin this special time, so that you may experience the joy of meeting with the newborn Jesus.

Dear children, I wish that you live days as I lived them. I want to guide you and show you this joy, to which I want tto bring all of you. That is why I ask you, dear children, to pray and abandon yourselves totally to me (Weekly Message December 12, 1986).

Joy also resounds in these verses from Philippians :

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Phil 4 :4-7).

Reflections :

Not surprising, the Blessed Mother equates joy with prayer, in which we encounter the living God. « I am calling you to pray, » she says, « in order that you experience the joy of meeting the newborn Jesus. » Prayerful encounters with the Lord are often joyous, for that is the divine nature.

Samuel Gordon has written that joy is a distinctly Christian word, and a Christian experience. "It is the reverse of happiness," he says; "Happiness is the result of what happens of an agreeable sort. Joy has its spring deep down inside, and that spring never runs dry, no matter what happens of an agreeable sort.

Joy has its spring deep down inside, and that spring never runs dry, no matter what happens. Only Jesus gives that joy. He had joy, singing its music within, even under the shadow of the cross."

Joy, then, is the echo of God's life within us. May our prayer this Advent give rise to this joy in all our hearts.

Application :

Today, put into action the advice Our Lady gives in her message : "I want to guide you to joy. Therefore, pray and abandon yourselves totally to me."

THE GLORIES OF MARY

(These thoughts are taken from the book written by St.Alphonsus Liguori, and published by the Catholic Book Publishing Co. New York)

(Begins at : Were still in Chapter 1 sub section 2, third paragraph page 30)

Mother most loving! O most compassionate Mother! Thanks to you forever! And may God too be thanked, Who gave you to us for a Mother and a perfect refuge in all the dangers of this life!

Be of good heart, then, all your children of Mary, Remember that she accepts all those who want to be her children. Why be afraid of losing your soul, when such a Mother defends and protects you?

« I will rejoice, » says St. Bernard, « for whatever judgment is pronunced on me, it depends on, and must come from, my Brother and my Mother. »

The same feeling makes St. Anselm cry out with joy : « O happy confidence ! O perfect refuge! The Mother of God is my Mother. What firm trust we should have, then, since our salvation depends on the judgment of a good Brother and a tender Mother! »

So it is our Mother who calls us in these words of Sacred Scripture : « Let whoever is simple come to me » (Prv 9 :4). Children always have their mother's name on their lips, and when they are frightened, or in danger, they cry out immediately, Mother! Mother!

O most tender Mary, most loving Mother! This is just what you desire. You want us to become children and call out to you in every danger. For you long to help and save us, as you have saved all your children who had recourse to you.

 

Message to J.N.S.R. September 19,2008

To save Russia

September 19, 2008

JESUS: My child, I left you alone and I had warned you. The Evil One intended to make you fall. But My Plan was coming to your rescue, and it was necessary for you to suffer until this hour, with no help, with no relief. For if you had fallen, many would have fallen with you.

You needed to be resigned to suffer for your God who did place His Confidence in you. All by yourself, facing the one who shamelessly kept frightening you, by knocking furiously every night, on the wardrobe in your bedroom. You have shown much courage, your Guardian Angel assisted you.

A war was in preparation and in order to show that everything comes from God, it was through the idol of these times, that I came to demonstrate to you, that to God, nothing is impossible. Money has been the main factor of this destruction, a worldwide money crisis.

At the same time, the Evil One planned to use it against Me. For, in spite of everything I was able to tell you, very few people were aware that money, very often came up against God, against the choice that the envious man must make: choose to serve God or money.

Therefore, to demonstrate to you that God can do whatever He likes with His enemies, by using all the idols that the Evil One has put up between God and man, money has become, in the Will of God, the main factor of Peace, by withdrawing from that country, the spirit of war.

In order to arrive at this, it was necessary for it to see itself at the level of all other countries, running short facing this fatality. Facing this crisis of the financial system that touched all the richest countries, and among them, the first one is Russia.

God is asking you and first of all His Church, to trust in His Holy Word, and to offer Him as many Prayers and Masses with all your Love, as much as are billions and billions of euros and dollars are needed to save the world banks. So, how many Masses and Masses are needed to save your poor Humanity, and for God to give you your New Earth!

JESUS Christ

Our Lady final pleas to littlest of children December 13, 2008

My dear, dear children I want you to PRAY, PRAY because you cannot comprehend the changes the world will go through in the coming months.

Prepare yourselves with much PRAYER. I do not want to lose any of My children but so many are unprepared for what is to come. So many will be lost to fear.

My eyes are bleeding for My children. The danger is so close. Console My IMMACULATE HEART with your PRAYERS.

I AM MAKING THESE FINAL PLEAS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. PRAY My dear children, the events that are coming will change the world forever.

YOUR SORROWFUL MOTHER

Jesus Tells Us About Our Heavenly Home

We attended our usual 8:00 AM Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows. There I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed for all with special needs and intentions. After making an Act Of Contrition, I received the most precious body and blood of Christ in the sacrament of Holy Communion.

On my knees I prayed and communed with Jesus. I asked Him to please cover me with His most precious blood and to help me to shut out all distraction and that I might discern only visions and voices that truly came just from Him.

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

Jesus immediately responded to my prayer saying, Eileen My child, often My children hear words and understand not the meaning of those words, and My children often see actions that are not accompanied by words. Interpreting actions and the words of others is necessary for you in understanding life.

Yet I assure you that in My Kingdom, words and actions are not necessary in order to feel love, peace, joy and contentment. I ask all My children to make their words and actions a confirmation of their desire to live for eternity in My Kingdom.

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. I love you as I love all My children. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

 

SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH

"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."

Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.

Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails. Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!
