Maximinus was not pleased. Nor was Hermogenes, an eparch born to non-Christians and another court official. The Emperor sent Hermogenes to dissuade Menas from his Christian way.

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE "I am indeed the Messiah" Sunday, March 01, 2009
Dear Friends,
"When John heard in prison of the works of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to him with this question, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?' Jesus said in reply, 'Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them. And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me." Matthew 11:2-6
I give you again another message of Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "John was the man sent before Me to baptize people in the Jordan River in order to prepare the people for My coming. He is the one who baptized Me and when I came out of the water, the Holy Spirit came upon Me and My Heavenly Father spoke about Me saying, 'This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.'
John was arrested for criticizing the King and at the end he was beheaded. He wanted his disciples to follow Me and that is why he sent some to ask Me this question, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'
I answered John's disciples by explaining to them all I was doing. First I told them about the healings that I had done such as the blind could see, the lame were walking, the lepers were cleansed, the deaf could hear and the dead were brought back to life; I also preached the Good News to the poor. All these works were to be done by the Messiah when He came on earth. After reporting to John, these people came and followed Me.
These words of mine are also addressed to you. You might ask yourselves whether I am really the Savior, the Son of God. My actions show you without a doubt that I am indeed the Messiah, the Savior of the world. I was sent by My Father in heaven to proclaim the Good News and to perform many miracles.
Only God could do the things I did. At the end I gave My life in great suffering on the Cross for your salvation. My sacrifice is what brought you life in abundance. You are now the beloved of the Father and My brothers and sisters. You will be with Me in heaven one day, if you follow the path I have traced out for you. I bless you all."

Jesus
Dear apostles, are you aware of My presence? Do you understand how I remain with you in each moment? Sometimes you suffer and in your suffering you feel abandoned. This is merely a feeling that I allow for you so that you can share even that part of My Passion with Me.
I could never abandon you and I do not abandon you. I remain with you, consoling you and guiding you. If you are suffering, My friend, you can be sure that I am aware of your suffering and that I am providing you with special graces to cope with your cross.
In the same way that I remain with each beloved apostle, I remain with the whole world. I, Jesus, love every person ever created by the Father. I seek goodness and peace for every man and woman on earth. I am looking out for the heavenly interests of all of God's children.
You, My dear ones, possess an earthly view that is limited. I understand that your view is limited because I understand everything about you.
At this time I would like you, My beloved apostles, to also accept that your view is limited. In seeking the good of all of God's children, I must allow changes to come which will impact all of God's children. I do this to bring about the goodness and peace I refer to but the change will be gradual in terms of the benefits to come. Trust Me in everything.
I do not abandon even one of God's children and My beloved apostles who give Me constant friendship and loyalty will be united with Me in everything. Be at peace, dear children. I am with you.
Message to J.N.S.R. Dec.6,2008
My child, write: MY WILL IS SPEAKING TO YOU.
December 6, 2008
JESUS: You believed that what I entrusted to you in this book, was just simple reading, given among all others. I gave you My Work and in your heart, I took refuge, so that the World would understand that I came to help you and to warn you of "the obstacles" that are still going to arise in your journey, which is soon arriving at the end of this Era - where man has believed that he could act on his own and according to his own whim.
You know that you are all dependent upon one another, and when one of you falls, he provokes the fall of all those who were meshed with him. You did not fail your duty my child, for you were chosen to be the head of "My Work that was slashed" as soon as one of them displayed disobedience. No one was to walk away from My choice, studiously brought underway by the One who speaks to you.
Doubt, lack of humility and especially the man who forgets Me in his search for his own glory, have caused pride to enter there, where I was, for no one was to doubt that this book is My Work, and that what GOD gives for everyone, is received with respect and in the humility of His glory.
If one of them falls, he causes the whole line to do likewise. GOD cannot raise up one who does not comprehend the whole sense of the greatness of My Work, which I entrusted to him, for I chose many of you with this unique condition, GOD is its Master, and you My Child, "My Voice", and all the others "My Hand".
They stepped away in a lack of obedience. In your weakness, they did not recognize My Strength. I protected them from all dangers and diseases, seeing Myself in them; but they are fragile, and they have this common trait; they think and act as if they want to get away from My Voice. "By themselves, they are lost."
If My Holy Mother has removed your "pride" from you, your humility has removed from you your "commandment" in My Work. This, they all shared among themselves, believing you only if, and when they could use it to their own purpose, for if I stopped leading you on My path, they also stopped, and of this, they saw only "neglect on your part", and all that was needed, was for you to resume writing, in order to obtain the complement of their work.
My child, to get away from what I gave you, means taking a forbidden road.
My communication can only travel through the means that I have chosen for It, for the waves are really cluttered in these Times. Always be careful with whom you would like to share what I give you.
Any profit used by one who will hear you, is a lost cause, and it is very difficult for a human being to keep My Word within himself, for, all around him, are those who fight against My Law and My decisions.
They are not all purified in order to hear what I give you, and then, this loss, of your listeners, can no longer console He who speaks to you, and takes refuge in your heart of a chosen child. You are My consolation, and around you are those who still want My ruin. Those who listen to you do not know that in you, I placed a "divine treasure", and they only waste "your listening heart" for their own benefit.
The heart that listens to Me was chosen amongst all, for it is the only one upon which I can find consolation. Therefore, I offer My Voice with My Knowledge.
If that heart is betrayed, My Word is consumed in it. So you have My Word that suffers, and you know that My Word is your GOD of LOVE that suffers. Do not repeat that mistake of confiding to someone who seems to be listening to you....to use it to his own benefit.
I say to you, always obey Me, for I need your heart that consoles Me in its motherly tenderness, with how you dispose of yourself, this marvelous gift I gave you, and that which your GOD will never take away from you, "that Faith, filled with all those feelings of Love, always multiplied", making you, "My sweet confidante", and the tranquility of My Heart which is constantly offended.
They will never again be able to take away from you, My Word, for they have had their chance with you.
Also, write what I will give you, and that you will keep for yourself, until you come to the end of this road, where you are presently, and which will soon end before Me.
My child, dismiss them, stop this Work, that was ill-defended by this team that never truly understood that they were ALL holding "in their hands, My Treasure". This END is not an END in itself.
But I cannot go on with those who did not believe that GOD is Truth in this Sharing, and that the one holding "His treasure" and shares it, must be listened to, for he speaks with My Voice, protected when it is heard with love and respect. No one can appropriate it, no one can abandon it for another man-made work.
In these days of darkness, thousands of evil-minded people take the commandment of My Enemy who wishes to destroy, above all, "My information".
My information is easily located. The being that I choose on this Earth to receive it, is so obvious by the Light I surround him with, in order to receive My Word, that he is continually assailed night and day. And because of the lack of trust from "all those near to him", all these dark clouds are formed and surround My Own Light which I have placed around this being.
I set everything free for listening to Me, but the more that being is attacked, the more My Word is imprisoned in that person who today, can only keep My Word within himself. Also, My daughter, My child, your sorrow is immeasurable, for I must also obey Our Father in Heaven.
I have said to you: if one of yours betrays Me through his disobedience to My Plan of LOVE, I cannot accept to go on with him. "No one can serve two masters at once".
In order to establish My Work in you, I had chosen all those who were to contribute for IT to develop in everyone's humility; with that hope, I realized that man keeps on hurting Me. Consciously or not, because of your frailty and your humility, I continued with you, by giving you My Strength, as most of them were unfaithful, with their conscience still influenced by their primitive faults that man is still unable to overcome through his own will, for they do not accept to enter My Holy Will.
Those faults or sins, will no longer exist once they have welcomed Me in Truth, "to enter into My Holy Will".
They continue to obey their tendencies. No one can replace his neighbor! For each one's journey eventually leads each one to My Path, because of much suffering and upheavals of all kinds. Every being has to see himself as he is, and change whatever he is - with Me- "My identity".
Then his salvation will be accomplished.
As for those who shared My Work with you, My child, they have not yet put on "My identity in them", for My resemblance still frightens them:
changing their authority - which is a power of Man - changing their pride - in the face of My humility - changing their vanity of holding the Truth which is the very image of My Enemy for no one but GOD alone is the Truth: "I AM the WAY, the LIFE, the TRUTH".
Therefore, your life, I can only give it to you in Eternity, after you get rid of everything that makes of you this old man, worn out from all his sins.
My New Earth shall be this Paradise where sin has gone away forever - for it will be that Earth, side by side with My Heaven of Eternal Glory, for this sea of constant instability in this sinful humanity will have disappeared.
The heart that takes in My Holy Word, is willing to follow Me, for My choice has made him My place of rest, of relaxation, on which My rest is to share with him My Life and My Confidences.
And behold, I AM coming. I AM returning in My Holy Glory, which is That of the Father, with the Spirit, who is with Us, and IS the Spirit of GOD.
In this Holy, Most Holy Unity, the entire world will very soon be immersed. For if everything has an END, this world must disappear in Him, who is the ALPHA and the OMEGA.
Child, nothing stops you from telling them that men have provoked the END of their Earth, for they all disobeyed GOD, who is the Principle and the END. In these terms - I close this book with what was the Earth of men, greedy for power, and with a pride that wanted to bring GOD down from His Throne, their "Eternal Sovereign", He who is the life of all things.
This book has an end, the one I wrote with you - it is not a total end. It will continue on with all of you, very soon. Its continuation, you shall live through it. Its Principle was written by My chosen child, and its END shall be written and carried out by all My People, who will be present and will also be the chief actors of this book, which will be finished upon living its END. Thus all of you will appreciate how I have instructed you to live this happy or unhappy END, according to your will.
It would be easier for everyone to immediately choose to enter My Holy Will. Say, each in your own heart, in answer to My Holy proposition:
"Lord, I desire to live from now on, according to Your Holy - Your Most Holy Will".
I shall accept you, and you will immediately feel within yourselves that this identity, I give it immediately to you. Such will be the one decision to save yourselves from this disaster soon to come. You shall then be delivered from all ills and from all occult powers. You shall be saved.
If My Heart comes down to you today, it is that I cannot continue to speak openly to you through My beloved child; the Era that you are living is ever shorter, and cannot leave any room for all that I AM preparing for those who are dear to Me, My children of My New Earth and My New Heavens.
JESUS proclaims Himself: "King of the whole Universe", by telling you what you must understand, EVERYONE:
"I AM the Beloved SON of the Father who lives in the Father, with the Beloved Spirit of the Father and of the SON." I AM He who IS in all Eternity in the Father, and in the Spirit the VISIBLE GOD who is but One, for GOD is Father, Son and Spirit.
THE ETERNAL ONE: Therefore, My child, You have everything to give, coming from your GOD. Let everyone understand that your duty as a child and as a daughter of GOD, has brought you to the limit of the END. The limit is between the actual end of this book, and the beginning of the TRUE LIFE which is very close to this end.
Tell them that this book, was for everyone the REAL Book of the end of this world that has withdrawn from itself the NAME of the Lord's grace, for it is ending with the Holy Name of GOD, with this NAME, forgotten by My People, who always fear to see Me in My Beloved SON.
I confirm what is written by this hand, this hand blessed by JESUS, My Beloved SON, in whom I placed all My Love with My Eternal Power. For He is Myself. With the Spirit, we are but One Unique GOD.
Such is the Name of the Living GOD, returning with all His Own, for there no dead, but only living beings, living elsewhere but on this Earth, where everything has been said - for of Earth, there will be no more like this one. Everything will be Divine - Everything will be in GOD, and GOD will be in Everything.
From now on, you shall see Me no more, I say it again here, as long as you do not call Me.
He who lives in the Father - sent by the Father to unite all His children. Y H Sh W H Yeshoua - the Divine One. http://www.jnsr.be/uk.htm
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.

Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"You are My friend if you follow Me"
Monday, March 02, 2009
Dear Friends,
"At that time Jesus said in reply, 'I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father.
No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him. Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light." Matthew 11:25-30
I bring you another message of Our Lord addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "The relationship between the Father and I has always been based on love. I want to do His will perfectly and He is always with Me. I am always with Him and I love to spend time in prayer with My Heavenly Father. I know Him perfectly and He knows Me because the Father and I are one.
So many people are burdened these days and others are depressed. Often these people are far from Me as they have rejected Me. They do not have confidence in Me and they prefer to follow their own selfish will, which leads them nowhere. The lack of faith in so many people means they are on the wrong road that leads to darkness and death. Come to Me, all you who are suffering and depressed, and I will refresh you. My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
Give Me then all your worries, your heartaches, your sicknesses, your depression and your emptiness and I will give you peace in your heart and I will heal you in mind and body. I am your friend who is always ready to help you.
Make an act of faith in Me, your Savior, and be sorry for all your sins and I will make you well. Never doubt that I love you and the proof is that I died on the cross for you. No greater love can a man have than to give his life for his friends. You are My friend if you follow Me."

My children, your work stretches out before you. How many serve? How many resist My will for them? When you consider others who do not seem to be serving Me, I want you to turn your face away.
I want you to consider only My will for you in a given moment. This will protect you from many temptations. You can answer Me with simplicity when I ask you at the end of the day, Have you served Me well today? You can simply say, Yes, Lord. I have done My best.
Then you can lay down your worries and rest.
Beloved apostles of God, do not be distracted by others. I know this is hard for you. I know that others can cause you upset. But if you consider how I have asked you to experience others, you will do better. I want you to view those around you as pilgrims journeying toward Me. That is what you are, after all.
Can you deny others the need to move gradually to perfection when you, yourself are doing the same? You are involved in a process which means that you remain imperfect. Why would it be different for those around you? You have come to trust My loving compassion, My forgiveness and My uninterrupted affection. That is because you have come to know Me.
If others do not know Me as well as you do, they will trust Me less. If they trust Me less, they will experience fear and this will cause them difficulty which moves out from the fear to greater and greater pain. If My apostles will accept that fear of being unloved is the source of great pain for others, My apostles will view the mistakes of others with compassion, as I do. Yes, the pain of humanity can only be remedied by loving compassion. This is why you are sent out by Me.
You move into the world with heaven’s healing compassion. My apostles, perhaps you do not feel this compassion from others. Perhaps you feel that you are in need of compassion and find only condemnation. I make two remarks about this.
One, please be willing to ask for understanding from other holy apostles and then accept what they offer to you in humility. Next, ask Me if I am judging you
. Ask Me if I view you harshly. You know that I do not. I am pleased with whatever you offer Me in terms of fidelity and service. I am pleased with whatever you give to Me in terms of prayer and silence. I work so well in your little soul when you allow Me.
I feel the greatest compassion for you. I am happy with your efforts to be holy and to love those around you. I rejoice in you. I rejoice in your commitment to Me. I urge you today in the most serious way to trust Me and trust in My plan for you.

Jesus
My dear little apostles, there is so much to be done. You see the need to bring Me to others. You see your brothers and sisters struggling in darkness without Me. If the light is to be brought to them, it will be brought by you.
When I say there is much to be done, I am telling you that the world needs your service, it is true. But I am also telling you that there are many things to be done in your soul. You must be committed to changing. Are you prepared to allow Me to make you holy?
If you are not prepared to let go of those things that prevent you from progressing in holiness, then you will not advance. If you do not advance, you will move away from me. You will begin to resent Me for the crosses I send to you.
You will begin to persuade yourself that perhaps there is an easier way for you, a way that calls for less sacrifice and less commitment. This will not be My plan but your plan. This will be your version of holiness, not Mine.
I know that some of the services I ask from you are repugnant to you. I know this and yet I call you into these things anyway. If you reject parts of the work, you will be executing an incomplete plan. I have a big plan. I build on it each day. You are part of that. I need you to listen carefully for My directions and then serve exactly as I am asking.
My dear friends, if I cannot instruct and direct you, then who will listen to Me? Who will trust Me to protect humanity? Where is the joy that comes from God's children when they trust their Father in heaven? I tell you that where joy is absent, trust is absent.
When a person is humble, he will see that he needs greater trust and he will try to become smaller so that I can become bigger in his life and in his work. I am asking you to do that. Be humble.
Allow Me, Jesus, to be your King. My kingdom was not of this world. Your Kingdom is not of this world. You will be rewarded in heaven, My beloved.
For now, serve Me, your King, in the way I am asking. This will be the best plan for you and for the world.

CONTINUED Certain Additional Messages of Preparation VIII
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence; he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. Because you have made the LORD your refuge, the Most High your habitation, no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent.
For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation." (C.f. Psalm 91)

Messages of Preparation for Home and Before Leaving for the Refuges
John Leary (1)
July 12, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people of America, I have told you in previous messages how your standard of living and many other blessings would diminish because of your abortions and your sins of the flesh. You have been consuming many energy sources to fuel your way of life. So now you will be held captive by your need for fuels to maintain your lifestyles.
You are dependent on electricity, oil, and natural gas for all of your conveniences. Now, you are being faced with price manipulations of your fuels by the one world people who are trying to use every means to control you. Your money and your investments are also being manipulated so these same one world people will be controlling your jobs and your wealth eventually through smart cards and chips in the hand. It is by your greed for money and a plush living that you will become victims of your own sins. I have told you that the wages of sin are death to the soul.
But even as the Israelites were conquered by their enemies for losing faith in Me, you will see history repeat itself when you will see your own country taken over by your enemies in the one world people. If you fail to understand how you are being taken over, just look at your treaties and trade to see who really controls your economy. As your country goes into exile as the tribulation nears, all the countries will fall to the Antichrist because of your weakness to sin.
You will pay for your sins in these chastisements, but do not lose hope or despair since this evil age is about to be vanquished as I bring My triumph to this earth. As the Antichrist comes to power, know that the days of evil are numbered. Refuse to worship the beast or take his mark and call on My help for all of your needs.
Without My help, you will not have your souls saved through the tribulation. Build up your spiritual stamina now in your prayer life and My sacraments so you will be able to endure this test of your faith. Rejoice when My power will place all of the evil ones in hell, while My faithful will have their reward in eternal heaven above."
August 15, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people, as you look at alternative ways to grind your grain, consider the possibility of scarcer supplies of fuel and electricity. Your oil and natural gas prices are going considerably higher than normal. Higher prices are a sign to you of scarce supplies of heating fuels which may become more of a problem in the winter.
Manipulation of supplies and prices are part of the one world people's plan for world takeover. As your standard of living is forced down, you will see increasing control of your buying and selling. Factory jobs are decreasing and your wages will be on the decline. All of this will prepare the time for the coming of the Antichrist to control the world through chips in the body.
Refuse to use smart cards and chips in the hand even if it means no jobs and no food. It is better to rely on Me to provide for your needs than to be condemned to hell for worshiping and taking things from the Antichrist. The signs of this world control through your finances and necessities are becoming more evident. Put your trust in Me for everything and I will protect your souls."
August 31, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people, this winter you will see shortages in oil and natural gas for heating your homes. Some may use some alternative fuels, but there may be more home fires as a result of people using heaters that many are not fully trained in using.
This winter will be severe and many will be rushing around for heating supplies to keep warm. I have told you to be prepared with food and fuel for the manipulated shortages that will be used by the one world people to control the population."
September 14, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people, you have been blessed with an abundance of natural gas and crude oil all over the earth. These supplies in the ground are more than enough for your needs for many years.
But you have the one world people who are constantly manipulating commodity prices for their own gain at the inconvenience of the people that they want to control. It is the regulation of supply and the transport of fuel to those in need that is causing your current shortages and high prices. Prepare for more problems in obtaining your necessities as these evil people are reaching to control the whole world."
Jesus said: "My people, you are not being given the whole story in why the refiners are not stocking supplies for the winter heating oil. Supplies are coming, but the manipulation of prices will cause the possibility that some may not have enough fuel for the winter.
I have told you before to store some extra food and fueland not just for the beginning of the year, but also for just these manipulated shortages that are becoming more apparent. Just as the wise virgins stored extra oil for their lamps, I am advising you to do likewise and not to be like the foolish virgins who did nothing and went without their needs."
Jesus said: "My people, as you look around the world, these shortages in your fuels could touch off some serious riots which could give the one world people an excuse for declaring emergency powers. If enough supplies are overpriced or become scarce, you could see people stealing and looting from others.
In many of your ice storms and floods people have worked together to help each other. It is only fear and greed that could set off a disregard for other's property. Pray for My help in keeping peace and share with each other or you could see the enforcement of a police state."
Jesus said: "My people, this area in the Middle East is a tinderbox of hatred ready to explode at any time. As oil and fuel supplies become more of an issue, there will be more desire for terrorist countries to control these oil fields and the refining of fuels. I have warned you of another war brewing in this area by accident or even planned by the one world people.
Any war in this area could cause real shortages and affect the world's economies. It will be just such incidents that will lead to a UN troop control that will fall into the hands of the Antichrist. Pray again for peace, but be prepared for a coming instability in this area."
September 15, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people, the boat in this vision represents your country and the clouds moving in indicate that more violent storms are yet to come. These storms will continue into your winter season as many will be tested with heating problems. Any shortage in your fuels either by war or manipulation could set off further riots and stealing of fuel. This battle between good and evil is being mirrored in the violence of your weather and your record fires.
As you refuse to convert your lives from abortions and fornication, you will continue to suffer much from My chastisements. It is My justice that is falling on some areas that are in deep sin. Wake up America and see the need for frequent Confession in your lives. Without the forgiveness of sin, you will fall further into decadence and eventual ruin. It is by your own hands in your evil deeds that you have guilty feelings and you know that you are doing wrong.
Unless you turn your spiritual lives around, many could be lost to the evil one. My Warning will be a supernatural intervention and it will take such action to bring some lost souls to their senses."
September 26, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people, some have asked when you would have to go into hiding for the tribulation, but I tell you it will be most obvious at the time. There will be shortages of food and fuel created by a great famine which will be contrived in part.
Only smart cards and eventually only chips in the body will be the only means of buying and selling things. This will be joined with an economic downturn all over the world. A police state will be put in place with the UN troops supporting the Antichrist.
You will actually be rushing with your guardian angel to find a safe haven or refuge of protection. Terror will be on all sides as the evil ones will be persecuting My faithful. With My help you will be safe. Some may have to die for their faith, but trust that I will always protect your souls.
Do not be afraid to leave your houses so you can flee the cities of violence. As you see the luminous crosses, you will know where My angels will protect you. Your suffering and trials will be difficult, but those, who deny Me, will face a greater pain of My wrath from the plagues of Revelation.
Pray for the souls to be saved at My Warning, so they will be prepared for this time of evil that you have yet to witness. In a short time I will bring My victory and you will share in My glory in heaven. Rejoice that you are living in this age."
October 2, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people, I have warned you of the later storms in your hurricane season that would cause more damage and now you are seeing such events. These storm clouds have another meaning in both your political storms and the potential for unrest in the Middle East. I have told you several times that your weather is a mirror image of the violence that you do to each other.
There is unrest over your fuel prices and unrest over the Middle East for who controls the land and the holy sites. Many of these situations could result in war or financial hardships. Many of your wars and financial disruptions are instigated and manipulated by the one world people to grab money and control of the world. As the end times start to unfold, you will see many political and financial upheavals that will lead up to the Antichrist's takeover of world events.
When you see the Antichrist come to power, know that My coming victory is at hand. Just as the Antichrist comes to the height of his power, I will then dash him to hell by the power of My angels. Ask your guardian angels to protect you and lead you to My places of refuge. Your guardian angels are always at your side, but you will need them more than ever during the tribulation to protect you from the demons. Rejoice at My victory and have no fear, for soon all evil will be chained in hell"
October 14, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people, no matter how much money, new homes, or new cars you have, they all depend on fuel and electricity to run. Your comforts are very vulnerable to energy supplies. So take more interest in your protection through prayer and trusting in Me because you will not be able to overcome the plans of the evil ones to control you. It is only through My power that I will provide what you need.
Do not seek any material help from the Antichrist and his chips. Use only My means of help through full trust in Me and you will be saved from the demons. This trial will last a short time and then you will be rewarded."
July 30, 2001:
Jesus said: "My people, I have advised you before tohave some bicycles ready that you may have to use when you go into hiding. You will need some safety helmets, so you are not stopped. You will see gasoline shortages again as wars in the Mideast will threaten your oil supplies. Even more so as you approach the time of the Antichrist, you will not have his chip which will be needed to buy the gasoline.
Without fuel your bicycles may be your best means of transportation on back roads and dirt roads. It will be difficult to bring much with you, so you will only have room for what you can carry. Preparing yourself spiritually is most important for this trial which you will have to endure.
By prayer, fasting and Confession, you can both prepare your soul and your body to go into hiding away from the Antichrist's influence. Be patient for a little while and you will have your reward when My triumph will vanquish all of these evil ones."
August 31, 2001:
Jesus said: "My people, as you hear this Gospel reading of the five wise virgins and the five foolish virgins, think of preparing for the end days both spiritually and physically. This vision of several jars of food is not speaking of large volumes of food to have on hand, but only something extra that could be multiplied for a time.
The most important preparation for your judgment is to have your soul free from sin and to have your blessed sacramentals for protection from the evil ones. As the world finances and food supplies begin to deteriorate, life will get very chaotic and you will need faith and trust in Me in many life threatening situations. In all of your preparations it is better to leave your home than to use weapons to protect your food and possessions.
The worldly fight over these things, but you must be an example of love even amidst those struggling to survive. Do not be in any panic for your life, but be willing to give up your life for your faith in Me. I will look after you at My refuges, but saving your souls is more important than saving your earthly lives. Encourage people to love Me and keep their souls pure by frequent Confession. Focus on preserving your spiritual life, for this will keep you on track to your eternal destination in heaven."
December 5, 2003:
Jesus said: "My people, I draw your attention to the many chemtrails that you saw in your very skies this morning. When these trails last for long periods of time and spread out with a fluffy look to them, then you know they are spreading chemicals to infect the people with flu-like symptoms. The irritation that you are feeling in your eyes, as if from an allergy, is another sign of this fallout. These trails do not appear by themselves, but they are deliberately being planted by your own government in conjunction with the one world people. They have scared the people in news reports to tell them that a bad flu season is coming to get more people to take flu shots.
These shots themselves contain viruses that could be worsened by the chemtrails. I have told you in previous messages that the plan for world takeover will use man-made diseases and terrorism to scare people into giving up their freedoms in the name of security. To fight these diseases I have asked you to build up your immune system with Hawthorn herbs, vitamins and antioxidants so you will be able to withstand this plan for disease epidemics. Shortly, you will be needing holy water, spring healing water at My refuges, luminous crosses, and healing people."
November 24, 2004:
Jesus said: "My people, this vision at night of a van traveling on back roads is how you will have to travel to avoid detection from those who will persecute religious people. Traveling to refuges will be your last chance to avoid those who could come to your house to capture you.
When you leave your houses, you will need your bikes, some food to multiply, extra gasoline, warm clothes, a backpack for a tent and your light daily needs. The chip in your electronic ignitions can still be used to track your car after 1984. That is why you will need to use your bikes to travel the rest of the way to your refuges.
You will be able to stay in your homes for a brief time, but they will be searching for you before marital law is declared. If you do not leave soon enough, you could be martyred in a detention center. Pray to Me for discernment for the proper time to leave. The coming tribulation will see evil that you have never seen before. Without My help, you will not be able to save your soul. So stay close to Me and your guardian angel and we will protect you from the evil ones."
October 29, 2004:
Jesus said: "My people, I have told you that you would find miraculous springs of water at all of My refuges. This water will have healing properties as well as providing for drinking purposes. As many people will be drawn to My refuges by your guardian angels, each person will need enough water for survival in drinking, meals, and cleansing. This water will be multiplied as the food that I will supply for you.
Water is necessary every day, so you will need cups and a means to try and save any rainwater for your needs. Every refuge will need to think of how best to provide water for the crowds that will come. I allowed Moses to strike the rock for water in the desert, so I will miraculously provide for all of your water needs.
Bread and meat will also be provided miraculously as well. Do not worry about what you are to eat or wear in the tribulation, for I will answer your every need and My angel will protect you from the evil ones. If your spring goes dry, My angel will dig you another well. The angels will give you water, bread, and meat whenever you need it. Give praise and glory to your God who knows your needs before you even ask Me."
March 7, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, during the coming tribulation you will be traveling in the wilderness among many dangerous wild animals on your way to My refuges. Just as I will protect you from harm by the evil ones, I also will protect you from any wild animals. You are seeing the dove representing the Holy Spirit, and He will be your guardian of protection.
You will see this protection at My refuges and on the way to your refuges. I will make it so the animals will not see you or smell you. I will even deliver some animals as deer to you for meat. Your testing time will be coming soon when you will have to put your full trust in Me for protection, food, water, and shelter.
When you call on My help in faith, everything will be miraculously provided for all of your needs. Even when things will seem hopeless, I will come with power to defeat the Antichrist and all the evil ones. So do not lose hope, but trust in My victorious power that will bring you into My Era of Peace with no fear."
April 14, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, fresh water will be increasingly hard to find as more people with an increasing population are putting strains on your available water supplies. All of your wells need to be ready, especially at your refuges for the people to drink.
Volcanoes and various natural disasters could poison or destroy your present fresh water supplies. I have asked you to store some water and food so I could multiply it in the coming tribulation. My miracles will be needed to provide for My faithful."
April 22, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, on the surface in the physical world things may appear calm to you. In the spiritual world you could see the flames of hell all around you as in the vision where evil is running rampant.
The flames of the evil ones are a warning that you are in a battle with evil in the principalities and powers of the demon angels. This will only worsen as the Antichrist will be allowed his hour. You cannot fight this evil by yourself, because you will need My graces and My angels' power to defend your souls. Even as this family is protected from the flames, I will be with you so you will not be tested beyond your endurance. The most important warning is that all of My faithful need to realize that you are in the midst of this battle for souls between the good and evil forces.
You cannot afford to be lax in your spiritual life because there are more distractions and temptations to leave Me than ever before. You must keep your spiritual strength up with constant prayer and work to save as many souls as you can. You are dealing with a life and death battle in the spirit world.
Hold fast to Me even more as you are approaching the days of tribulation and an evil that you have yet to experience. Have total trust in My power over Satan, and you will have no fear even amidst the flames of evil."
June 12, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, those, who were ready for your latest power failure, had plenty of light. I have told you before to have mechanical powered lights so you do not have to rely on batteries that deteriorate with time if they are not rechargeable. You also learned the lesson of the wise virgins to have oil for your lamps to burn.Oil is also necessary to be in your lamp so you can light the fuel saturated wick.
Once you have a light source in the dark, then you need to place it in a central place to benefit the most from the light. I am the Light in the darkness of the evil of your generation. In the readings you are seeing the calling of My twelve apostles to their mission with Me.
Everyone is given their own mission in life which only you can carry out with the gifts that I have given you. My prophets and messengers have a special calling to send My messages out to everyone so that all can hear the Word of God and hopefully keep it in their hearts.
It is everyone's responsibility to present My Word to those who have not heard it, but it is the free will choice of those who hear it and take it to heart in acceptance of My love. Do not be afraid to speak out in My Name to witness My Gospel even to those sinners who do not want to hear your message. All of those, who proclaim My Word, will receive their reward in heaven."
September 13, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, as you look at this makeshift refuge in the vision, do not think that you will have your present comforts at your refuge. You will be very fortunate even to have a priest for Mass because good priests will be scarce. During the coming tribulation, you will be suffering your purgatory on earth as you will be in a spiritual battle against evil that you have yet to see.
You will need all of your spiritual weapons as your rosary, holy water, Benedictine crosses, and your relics of the saints. If you are able to have Mass, you will see My Hosts multiply for My faithful. You will even be able to survive on Holy Communion alone.
Pray that your family will endure being stripped of your material things so I can protect your souls and feed your bodies at My refuges. It will take strong faith to deny your comforts and pleasures, and follow Me away from the Antichrist's power. Have hope and trust in Me no matter how much you will be tested to deny your faith. Worship only Me and refuse any microchips in your body."
October 20, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, just as you see the animals storing food for the winter, so some people are preparing food as well in canning or other means of storage. With the many disasters affecting crop lands, you could see some short term shortages in various foods. I have asked you to set aside some food in your pantries for the coming tribulation.
Even before this time it may be wise to store some extra food for when the coming world famine will cause shortages. I will multiply your food when it is needed and when the evil ones will make it difficult to buy food."
November 6, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, today's Gospel of the wise and foolish virgins is all about your prudent preparations for not only the end times, but also to be prepared in your soul at all times for when you will die. You have many opportunities to have your sins cleansed, but do not wait for the tomorrow that you may never see.
I will come at a time that you will not expect, and you do not want to be on the outside of heaven when the door will be bolted shut and I will tell you that I do not know you. The three days of darkness will require blessed candles to see, and do not look at the wrath of My justice as the evil ones will be burning in the flames of a hell on earth. Once the evil ones are cleansed from the earth, I will renew the earth and you will see a new heavens and a new earth in My Era of Peace."
January 16, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, there is a lot of manipulation and misrepresentation of the facts going on in pharmaceutical drug companies. Some companies know their product has bad side effects, yet they still sell them until the public complains with lawsuits. Some drugs are diluted or exchanged with generic ones to make more money.
Prices between different countries are examples of how over priced your drugs are in America. New expensive drugs are encouraged among doctors, even when older generic drugs do just as good. The drug business is worth so much money, that it lends itself to corruption at all levels.
People's poor diets and eating habits have created many sick people. Environmental pollution and adulterated foods are another reason that you are seeing so many diseases and cancer. It is unfortunate that a steady diet of these drugs are also causing liver and kidney problems that can even lead to people's death.
All of man's medicines have side effects because they are unnatural and are not made for the balance of nature. Herbs and vitamins are better cures in the long run, but because they are cheap, the medical profession even frowns on alternative cures.
Natural means for cures are far better for your health and the long term healing of the body. Pray that your doctors and drug companies will provide you with the truth, and not just another means to make them money."
February 7, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, the baskets full of leftover food refers to My two miracles where I multiplied the food for the five thousand and the four thousand. The number seven and twelve are all throughout these accounts. With the five thousand there were five loaves of bread and two fish adding up to seven.
After the people ate their fill, twelve baskets of food were collected from the leftovers. With the four thousand there were seven loaves to start and after the people ate, there were seven baskets of leftovers collected. These miracles showed My power, but also it was respectful of not wasting the food left over. These baskets also show you that I will give you My gifts that will more than satisfy your needs.
These miracles of the bread being multiplied also can be seen in how the Bread of Holy Communion is also multiplied, yet I am fully present in each Host. This is also a forerunner for how I will multiply the food for My faithful in the tribulation time. For those without a Mass, I will have My angels bring you Communion so I can be with you all days, even up to when I return."
May 29, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, in the middle of your country you know that there are old fault lines that caused much damage years ago. This vision of a house in the South on this fault line shows how violent earth quakes can be now that more people live there. In this part of your country they do not build houses to stand earthquakes.
That is why any damage from earthquakes will be much more severe than in California. I have told you to move away from areas prone to earthquakes, hurricanes, and tornadoes. If you must live in these areas, then build your homes to withstand these disasters where possible.
Place scapulars and blessed medals all over your houses for protection from these natural disasters. If you call on My help, I will send My angels of protection to keep you from harm. Trust in My protection to guide these storms away from your houses."
June 6, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, My prayer warriors are those here giving adoration to My Blessed Sacrament. Those, who are joined to My Heart and that of My Blessed Mother, are close to her devotions that lead you to Me. How often you are joy filled in praying all the Mysteries of the Holy Rosary.
The rosary and the scapular are your weapons to fight the evil ones. Other devotions to My Blessed Mother are your consecration to her before her feast days, her litanies, and many other devotions at the various places of her apparitions. She has given many messages and signs for the whole world to understand that you are living in the end times. I have given many messages also about this evil era.
I am warning you still that your spiritual weapons are most important in battling the evil ones, and not your physical weapons. The evil ones use war and wealth to destroy you and cause you to fight each other. Know that My power is greater than all of the demons, and when you summon My help, I will send you My graces, blessings, and My angels to protect you. Have no fear of this day or of any other day of evil, since I have My arms of protection wrapped around you. Those, who pray to My Blessed Mother, will also have her mantle of protection guarding you as well from the evil ones. Continue to pray all of your daily rosaries for My Blessed Mother's intentions."
June 9, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people of faith, this attack of the demons upon My elect will be the worst evil that you will ever experience as a human. Temptations and physical torture will be very hard to resist by My elect. But remember that My power is greater than the demons. My faithful must cling to My Real Presence in My Eucharist and spiritual communion to have the spiritual strength to resist the demons. Call out in My Name for your protection and My angels will be at your side. Trust in Me even in hopeless cases and I will save your souls."
September 29, 2006:
St. Michael said: "I am St. Michael and I stand before God as his militant army of angels. Many of you were taken back by the more sobering messages in recent weeks, as well as by the developments worldwide. You need to put all of these things in perspective to the power of your God. You have heard of Satan's power being compared as a grain of sand to God's power. Sodo not be fearful of the evil ones because Our Lord is standing at your side every day.
He has defeated the evil one by His death on the cross and His salvation is available to all who accept Him as Lord of their lives. God's grace and protection are as near as your local confessional or church. Keep your souls pure and strong in faith, and the evil ones cannot harm you. You also can call on us angels through Jesus, and we will come to your aid against any demons.
Call in the Name of Jesus, and my prayer of exorcism and the devils will flee from you. The more serious battles on earth are coming about soon. Do not be frightened by any of the deeds of the demons or evil people because soon they will be defeated and Our Lord's reign of peace will be brought about. You will be given sufficient graces to endure this tribulation, so have no fear and trust in your Lord's Word."
October 31, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, this vision is about an electromagnetic pulse weapon that your military has that can put electricity out in a whole city and keep all of your cars from running.
This capability could throw major cities into great chaos as a pretext for implementing martial law or emergency control over the people in a given area. You are so dependent on electricity and your vehicles that this weapon could bring your cities to a complete standstill. This is why your alternative fuels and bikes will be needed for heat and transportation. When these major events lead up to martial law, you will need to call on Me and have your guardian angels lead you to the nearest refuge or interim refuge.
Do not hesitate to get to your refuges before the evil ones will come to your house to try and implant you with microchips or take you to the death camps if you refuse. Call on My help, for I will protect you from these evil ones. Have no fear, but trust in My protection."
November 17, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, this dark blue fluorescent color all over everything is a sign that the one world people will initiate a pandemic virus attack in various places. Many people will get sick in these areas and there will be a fair number of deaths. You will see quarantine areas posted and this could become another event that could precipitate martial law.
The one world people will have antidotes or vaccines that will heal people, but it will come at the cost of having a microchip in your body. Do not be afraid, My faithful, because I will give you some ways to protect yourself from this virus. You will need some canister type filtered masks with extra filters or canisters.
By building up your immune system with herbs, vitamins, and Hawthorn tea or pills, you will protect your body from this sickness. If national martial law is declared, then you will call on Me to lead you to My refuges where you will be healed of any sicknesses by looking at the Luminous Cross or drinking the miracle spring water. Be assured that you will not be tested long before I will cast all of the evil ones into hell and then I will renew the earth for My Era of Peace."
November 30, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, in addition to the spiritual protection of your homes, you can call on Me and My angels to protect your homes from physical destruction. Many have placed blessed medals on their windows, and scapulars in various rooms to protect their homes from damage.
Even during hurricanes, earthquakes, and forest fires, many protected homes have survived intact while others around them were destroyed. Using blessed objects and constant prayer will protect your homes."
November 30, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, there are consecrations and dedications done for every church and holy place. It would also be appropriate to have your house consecrated and dedicated to My Sacred Heart. In the time of tribulation all of My refuges and interim refuges should be on consecrated land. By putting up a holy barrier around your houses, the demons will not dare to come into your house. You have the means to ask your priest to consecrate your houses, so take advantage of these graces."
November 30, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, you travel often from your house to work and other places, so you can take your holy water in your cars for physical and spiritual protection. Even carrying blessed sacramentals on your person as Benedictine blessed crosses and rosaries will give you personal protection from the demons.
Call on My angels and your guardian angels to help you in all of your travels. When you ask for My help in prayer, I will be at your side through any difficulty."
June 21, 2007:
Jesus said: "My people, I have asked you to put aside some food that could be stored for a while until you will need it during the tribulation. There will be food shortages during that time and chips will be required to buy and sell the food. I will multiply what you need so you can share it with your neighbors. Have trust in Me that you will have what you need to survive."
August 10, 2007:
Jesus said: "My people, you have no idea of how restricted your life is going to be when martial law will be declared. I have warned you before to get some maps of all the back roads around you so you may be able to use your cars to avoid the main highways.
The vision shows you how the authorities will be setting up barbed wire fences on the main highways as checkpoints to capture those refusing to go along with the one world order. As the control of the roads will gradually tighten, you will eventually be reduced to bikes or walking.
As you are led by your guardian angel to the nearest refuge, pray for My protection so you will be made invisible to those seeking to kill you for your faith. This will be a desperate hour of persecution that you have not witnessed in America. Have no fear of the evil ones because I will give you My grace to endure this evil time.
Some may be martyred, but I will ease your pain. Others at My refuges will be protected and cared for. This time of evil will be less than three and one-half years, but I will speed up the time. Have faith and patience in My power for soon I will conquer all evil and bring you into My Era of Peace."
October 11, 2007:
Jesus said: "My people, you will see an evil that you have never seen before in the coming tribulation of the Antichrist. This will be a battle of good and evil that will require My angel protection to save your souls from the evil ones.
Do not use physical guns, but your prayers are your weapons. I will perform miracles against these evil ones so you will be safe from their weapons and false teachings. Trust in Me and have no fear because I am more powerful than all of the evil ones put together."

"I have a burning thirst to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament, and I find hardly anyone who strives, according to my desire, to allay this thirst by making me some return of love." (Words of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary)
Mother Teresa - God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen. And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens. And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be: oneness with God, oneness with Jesus.
Peace is light to the soul, light to your neighbor and light to God
Meditations by Padre Pio - Beware of anxiety and restlessness because there is nothing that more greatly impedes progress towards perfection. Sweetly place your heart in the Wounds of Our Lord, but not with force. Have great confidence in His Mercy, because He will never abandon you. But do not fail, for this reason, to tightly embrace His Holy Cross.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Just because everyone's doing it doesn't make it right!
"Numbers become the measure of goodness. If a sufficient number can be counted who violate a certain Commandment of God, then it is argued: `50 million adulterers cannot be wrong. We have to change the Commandments.' The excellence of moral excellence does not reside in any external conformity to a conventional standard, but in an inward disposition under the control of a recognized principle to which we submit whether we agree with it or not."
St. Faustina's diary - O Wound of Mercy, Heart of Jesus, hide me in Your depths as a drop of Your own blood, and do not let me out forever! Lock me in Your depths, and do You Yourself teach me to love You! Eternal Love, do You Yourself form my soul that it be made capable of returning Your love. O living Love, enable me to love You forever. I yearn to eternally reciprocate Your love. O Christ, a single gaze from You is dearer to me than a thousand worlds, than all heaven itself.
Lord, You can make my soul capable of understanding completely who You are. I know and I believe that You can do all things; if You have deigned to give Yourself to me so generously, then I know that You can be even more generous. Bring me into an intimacy with You so far as it is possible for human nature to be brought... (1631) O Christ, suffering for You is the delight of my heart and my soul. Prolong my sufferings to infinity, that I may give You a proof of my love.
I accept everything that Your hand will hold out to me. Your love, Jesus, is enough for me. I will glorify You in abandonment and darkness, in agony and fear, in pain and bitterness, in anguish of spirit and grief of heart. In all things may You be blessed. My heart is so detached from the earth, that You Yourself are enough for me. There is no longer any moment in my life for self concern. (1662)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.
Mar 2 Thank you for each sacrifice
During Lent of 1986, Our Lady gave the following message: Dear children, today I invite you to live this Lent with your small sacrifices. Thank you for each sacrifice which you have already presented to me. Dear children, continue to live in this way and, with your love, help me to present your offering to God, who will reward you. (WM 3-13-86). St Paul also speaks of sacrifice:
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. (Heb 13:16)
Reflection:
"Live this Lent," Our Lady says today, "with your small sacrifices." The Gospa knows well that God lovingly receives our sacrifices and uses them to draw us closer to Him, and to aid in no less than in the salvation of mankind.
Sacrifices are the true sign of love, for on the eternal level we gain nothing for ourselves, but direct our action outward for the benefit of another. For instance, we can speak many words of concern for the mentally handicapped, but it is quite a different thing to sacrifice several hours a week to help out a local center, especially if we find it a demanding experience. In much the same way, our sacrifice of giving up, say, alcohol or coffee for Lent is a concrete action of love for God that goes beyond mere words. A sacrifice made with love, as Mary urges us, is even redemptive in the hands of God, for it becomes joined to the greatest love-sacrifice of all, that of Christ on the cross. In addition, sacrifices such as fasting amplify the power of prayer many fold. For again, it is a concrete expression of love - more than words - that directly touch the heart of God.
Thus Our Lady's message, "live this Lent with your small sacrifices," refers to a living love for God that is proved by more than words. It says to Him, "See that I love you by my sacrifices, by my self denial, I am serious. I love you even when it hurts, just as you loved me.
Application:
St. Therese, the Little Flower, once prayed and fasted for the conversion of a murderer on death row, who was also an atheist. On the day of his execution, at the gallows, he astonished everyone by reaching for the chaplains crucifix and kissing it. How aware are you of the great power you possess in prayer with sacrifice? For what intention can it be offered this week?
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!

CONTINUED Certain Additional Messages of Preparation VIII
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence; he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. Because you have made the LORD your refuge, the Most High your habitation, no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent.
For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation." (C.f. Psalm 91)

Messages of Preparation for Home and Before Leaving for the Refuges
John Leary (1)
July 12, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people of America, I have told you in previous messages how your standard of living and many other blessings would diminish because of your abortions and your sins of the flesh. You have been consuming many energy sources to fuel your way of life. So now you will be held captive by your need for fuels to maintain your lifestyles.
You are dependent on electricity, oil, and natural gas for all of your conveniences. Now, you are being faced with price manipulations of your fuels by the one world people who are trying to use every means to control you. Your money and your investments are also being manipulated so these same one world people will be controlling your jobs and your wealth eventually through smart cards and chips in the hand. It is by your greed for money and a plush living that you will become victims of your own sins. I have told you that the wages of sin are death to the soul.
But even as the Israelites were conquered by their enemies for losing faith in Me, you will see history repeat itself when you will see your own country taken over by your enemies in the one world people. If you fail to understand how you are being taken over, just look at your treaties and trade to see who really controls your economy. As your country goes into exile as the tribulation nears, all the countries will fall to the Antichrist because of your weakness to sin.
You will pay for your sins in these chastisements, but do not lose hope or despair since this evil age is about to be vanquished as I bring My triumph to this earth. As the Antichrist comes to power, know that the days of evil are numbered. Refuse to worship the beast or take his mark and call on My help for all of your needs.
Without My help, you will not have your souls saved through the tribulation. Build up your spiritual stamina now in your prayer life and My sacraments so you will be able to endure this test of your faith. Rejoice when My power will place all of the evil ones in hell, while My faithful will have their reward in eternal heaven above."
August 15, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people, as you look at alternative ways to grind your grain, consider the possibility of scarcer supplies of fuel and electricity. Your oil and natural gas prices are going considerably higher than normal. Higher prices are a sign to you of scarce supplies of heating fuels which may become more of a problem in the winter.
Manipulation of supplies and prices are part of the one world people's plan for world takeover. As your standard of living is forced down, you will see increasing control of your buying and selling. Factory jobs are decreasing and your wages will be on the decline. All of this will prepare the time for the coming of the Antichrist to control the world through chips in the body.
Refuse to use smart cards and chips in the hand even if it means no jobs and no food. It is better to rely on Me to provide for your needs than to be condemned to hell for worshiping and taking things from the Antichrist. The signs of this world control through your finances and necessities are becoming more evident. Put your trust in Me for everything and I will protect your souls."
August 31, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people, this winter you will see shortages in oil and natural gas for heating your homes. Some may use some alternative fuels, but there may be more home fires as a result of people using heaters that many are not fully trained in using.
This winter will be severe and many will be rushing around for heating supplies to keep warm. I have told you to be prepared with food and fuel for the manipulated shortages that will be used by the one world people to control the population."
September 14, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people, you have been blessed with an abundance of natural gas and crude oil all over the earth. These supplies in the ground are more than enough for your needs for many years.
But you have the one world people who are constantly manipulating commodity prices for their own gain at the inconvenience of the people that they want to control. It is the regulation of supply and the transport of fuel to those in need that is causing your current shortages and high prices. Prepare for more problems in obtaining your necessities as these evil people are reaching to control the whole world."
Jesus said: "My people, you are not being given the whole story in why the refiners are not stocking supplies for the winter heating oil. Supplies are coming, but the manipulation of prices will cause the possibility that some may not have enough fuel for the winter.
I have told you before to store some extra food and fueland not just for the beginning of the year, but also for just these manipulated shortages that are becoming more apparent. Just as the wise virgins stored extra oil for their lamps, I am advising you to do likewise and not to be like the foolish virgins who did nothing and went without their needs."
Jesus said: "My people, as you look around the world, these shortages in your fuels could touch off some serious riots which could give the one world people an excuse for declaring emergency powers. If enough supplies are overpriced or become scarce, you could see people stealing and looting from others.
In many of your ice storms and floods people have worked together to help each other. It is only fear and greed that could set off a disregard for other's property. Pray for My help in keeping peace and share with each other or you could see the enforcement of a police state."
Jesus said: "My people, this area in the Middle East is a tinderbox of hatred ready to explode at any time. As oil and fuel supplies become more of an issue, there will be more desire for terrorist countries to control these oil fields and the refining of fuels. I have warned you of another war brewing in this area by accident or even planned by the one world people.
Any war in this area could cause real shortages and affect the world's economies. It will be just such incidents that will lead to a UN troop control that will fall into the hands of the Antichrist. Pray again for peace, but be prepared for a coming instability in this area."
September 15, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people, the boat in this vision represents your country and the clouds moving in indicate that more violent storms are yet to come. These storms will continue into your winter season as many will be tested with heating problems. Any shortage in your fuels either by war or manipulation could set off further riots and stealing of fuel. This battle between good and evil is being mirrored in the violence of your weather and your record fires.
As you refuse to convert your lives from abortions and fornication, you will continue to suffer much from My chastisements. It is My justice that is falling on some areas that are in deep sin. Wake up America and see the need for frequent Confession in your lives. Without the forgiveness of sin, you will fall further into decadence and eventual ruin. It is by your own hands in your evil deeds that you have guilty feelings and you know that you are doing wrong.
Unless you turn your spiritual lives around, many could be lost to the evil one. My Warning will be a supernatural intervention and it will take such action to bring some lost souls to their senses."
September 26, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people, some have asked when you would have to go into hiding for the tribulation, but I tell you it will be most obvious at the time. There will be shortages of food and fuel created by a great famine which will be contrived in part.
Only smart cards and eventually only chips in the body will be the only means of buying and selling things. This will be joined with an economic downturn all over the world. A police state will be put in place with the UN troops supporting the Antichrist.
You will actually be rushing with your guardian angel to find a safe haven or refuge of protection. Terror will be on all sides as the evil ones will be persecuting My faithful. With My help you will be safe. Some may have to die for their faith, but trust that I will always protect your souls.
Do not be afraid to leave your houses so you can flee the cities of violence. As you see the luminous crosses, you will know where My angels will protect you. Your suffering and trials will be difficult, but those, who deny Me, will face a greater pain of My wrath from the plagues of Revelation.
Pray for the souls to be saved at My Warning, so they will be prepared for this time of evil that you have yet to witness. In a short time I will bring My victory and you will share in My glory in heaven. Rejoice that you are living in this age."
October 2, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people, I have warned you of the later storms in your hurricane season that would cause more damage and now you are seeing such events. These storm clouds have another meaning in both your political storms and the potential for unrest in the Middle East. I have told you several times that your weather is a mirror image of the violence that you do to each other.
There is unrest over your fuel prices and unrest over the Middle East for who controls the land and the holy sites. Many of these situations could result in war or financial hardships. Many of your wars and financial disruptions are instigated and manipulated by the one world people to grab money and control of the world. As the end times start to unfold, you will see many political and financial upheavals that will lead up to the Antichrist's takeover of world events.
When you see the Antichrist come to power, know that My coming victory is at hand. Just as the Antichrist comes to the height of his power, I will then dash him to hell by the power of My angels. Ask your guardian angels to protect you and lead you to My places of refuge. Your guardian angels are always at your side, but you will need them more than ever during the tribulation to protect you from the demons. Rejoice at My victory and have no fear, for soon all evil will be chained in hell"
October 14, 2000:
Jesus said: "My people, no matter how much money, new homes, or new cars you have, they all depend on fuel and electricity to run. Your comforts are very vulnerable to energy supplies. So take more interest in your protection through prayer and trusting in Me because you will not be able to overcome the plans of the evil ones to control you. It is only through My power that I will provide what you need.
Do not seek any material help from the Antichrist and his chips. Use only My means of help through full trust in Me and you will be saved from the demons. This trial will last a short time and then you will be rewarded."
July 30, 2001:
Jesus said: "My people, I have advised you before tohave some bicycles ready that you may have to use when you go into hiding. You will need some safety helmets, so you are not stopped. You will see gasoline shortages again as wars in the Mideast will threaten your oil supplies. Even more so as you approach the time of the Antichrist, you will not have his chip which will be needed to buy the gasoline.
Without fuel your bicycles may be your best means of transportation on back roads and dirt roads. It will be difficult to bring much with you, so you will only have room for what you can carry. Preparing yourself spiritually is most important for this trial which you will have to endure.
By prayer, fasting and Confession, you can both prepare your soul and your body to go into hiding away from the Antichrist's influence. Be patient for a little while and you will have your reward when My triumph will vanquish all of these evil ones."
August 31, 2001:
Jesus said: "My people, as you hear this Gospel reading of the five wise virgins and the five foolish virgins, think of preparing for the end days both spiritually and physically. This vision of several jars of food is not speaking of large volumes of food to have on hand, but only something extra that could be multiplied for a time.
The most important preparation for your judgment is to have your soul free from sin and to have your blessed sacramentals for protection from the evil ones. As the world finances and food supplies begin to deteriorate, life will get very chaotic and you will need faith and trust in Me in many life threatening situations. In all of your preparations it is better to leave your home than to use weapons to protect your food and possessions.
The worldly fight over these things, but you must be an example of love even amidst those struggling to survive. Do not be in any panic for your life, but be willing to give up your life for your faith in Me. I will look after you at My refuges, but saving your souls is more important than saving your earthly lives. Encourage people to love Me and keep their souls pure by frequent Confession. Focus on preserving your spiritual life, for this will keep you on track to your eternal destination in heaven."
December 5, 2003:
Jesus said: "My people, I draw your attention to the many chemtrails that you saw in your very skies this morning. When these trails last for long periods of time and spread out with a fluffy look to them, then you know they are spreading chemicals to infect the people with flu-like symptoms. The irritation that you are feeling in your eyes, as if from an allergy, is another sign of this fallout. These trails do not appear by themselves, but they are deliberately being planted by your own government in conjunction with the one world people. They have scared the people in news reports to tell them that a bad flu season is coming to get more people to take flu shots.
These shots themselves contain viruses that could be worsened by the chemtrails. I have told you in previous messages that the plan for world takeover will use man-made diseases and terrorism to scare people into giving up their freedoms in the name of security. To fight these diseases I have asked you to build up your immune system with Hawthorn herbs, vitamins and antioxidants so you will be able to withstand this plan for disease epidemics. Shortly, you will be needing holy water, spring healing water at My refuges, luminous crosses, and healing people."
November 24, 2004:
Jesus said: "My people, this vision at night of a van traveling on back roads is how you will have to travel to avoid detection from those who will persecute religious people. Traveling to refuges will be your last chance to avoid those who could come to your house to capture you.
When you leave your houses, you will need your bikes, some food to multiply, extra gasoline, warm clothes, a backpack for a tent and your light daily needs. The chip in your electronic ignitions can still be used to track your car after 1984. That is why you will need to use your bikes to travel the rest of the way to your refuges.
You will be able to stay in your homes for a brief time, but they will be searching for you before marital law is declared. If you do not leave soon enough, you could be martyred in a detention center. Pray to Me for discernment for the proper time to leave. The coming tribulation will see evil that you have never seen before. Without My help, you will not be able to save your soul. So stay close to Me and your guardian angel and we will protect you from the evil ones."
October 29, 2004:
Jesus said: "My people, I have told you that you would find miraculous springs of water at all of My refuges. This water will have healing properties as well as providing for drinking purposes. As many people will be drawn to My refuges by your guardian angels, each person will need enough water for survival in drinking, meals, and cleansing. This water will be multiplied as the food that I will supply for you.
Water is necessary every day, so you will need cups and a means to try and save any rainwater for your needs. Every refuge will need to think of how best to provide water for the crowds that will come. I allowed Moses to strike the rock for water in the desert, so I will miraculously provide for all of your water needs.
Bread and meat will also be provided miraculously as well. Do not worry about what you are to eat or wear in the tribulation, for I will answer your every need and My angel will protect you from the evil ones. If your spring goes dry, My angel will dig you another well. The angels will give you water, bread, and meat whenever you need it. Give praise and glory to your God who knows your needs before you even ask Me."
March 7, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, during the coming tribulation you will be traveling in the wilderness among many dangerous wild animals on your way to My refuges. Just as I will protect you from harm by the evil ones, I also will protect you from any wild animals. You are seeing the dove representing the Holy Spirit, and He will be your guardian of protection.
You will see this protection at My refuges and on the way to your refuges. I will make it so the animals will not see you or smell you. I will even deliver some animals as deer to you for meat. Your testing time will be coming soon when you will have to put your full trust in Me for protection, food, water, and shelter.
When you call on My help in faith, everything will be miraculously provided for all of your needs. Even when things will seem hopeless, I will come with power to defeat the Antichrist and all the evil ones. So do not lose hope, but trust in My victorious power that will bring you into My Era of Peace with no fear."
April 14, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, fresh water will be increasingly hard to find as more people with an increasing population are putting strains on your available water supplies. All of your wells need to be ready, especially at your refuges for the people to drink.
Volcanoes and various natural disasters could poison or destroy your present fresh water supplies. I have asked you to store some water and food so I could multiply it in the coming tribulation. My miracles will be needed to provide for My faithful."
April 22, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, on the surface in the physical world things may appear calm to you. In the spiritual world you could see the flames of hell all around you as in the vision where evil is running rampant.
The flames of the evil ones are a warning that you are in a battle with evil in the principalities and powers of the demon angels. This will only worsen as the Antichrist will be allowed his hour. You cannot fight this evil by yourself, because you will need My graces and My angels' power to defend your souls. Even as this family is protected from the flames, I will be with you so you will not be tested beyond your endurance. The most important warning is that all of My faithful need to realize that you are in the midst of this battle for souls between the good and evil forces.
You cannot afford to be lax in your spiritual life because there are more distractions and temptations to leave Me than ever before. You must keep your spiritual strength up with constant prayer and work to save as many souls as you can. You are dealing with a life and death battle in the spirit world.
Hold fast to Me even more as you are approaching the days of tribulation and an evil that you have yet to experience. Have total trust in My power over Satan, and you will have no fear even amidst the flames of evil."
June 12, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, those, who were ready for your latest power failure, had plenty of light. I have told you before to have mechanical powered lights so you do not have to rely on batteries that deteriorate with time if they are not rechargeable. You also learned the lesson of the wise virgins to have oil for your lamps to burn.Oil is also necessary to be in your lamp so you can light the fuel saturated wick.
Once you have a light source in the dark, then you need to place it in a central place to benefit the most from the light. I am the Light in the darkness of the evil of your generation. In the readings you are seeing the calling of My twelve apostles to their mission with Me.
Everyone is given their own mission in life which only you can carry out with the gifts that I have given you. My prophets and messengers have a special calling to send My messages out to everyone so that all can hear the Word of God and hopefully keep it in their hearts.
It is everyone's responsibility to present My Word to those who have not heard it, but it is the free will choice of those who hear it and take it to heart in acceptance of My love. Do not be afraid to speak out in My Name to witness My Gospel even to those sinners who do not want to hear your message. All of those, who proclaim My Word, will receive their reward in heaven."
September 13, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, as you look at this makeshift refuge in the vision, do not think that you will have your present comforts at your refuge. You will be very fortunate even to have a priest for Mass because good priests will be scarce. During the coming tribulation, you will be suffering your purgatory on earth as you will be in a spiritual battle against evil that you have yet to see.
You will need all of your spiritual weapons as your rosary, holy water, Benedictine crosses, and your relics of the saints. If you are able to have Mass, you will see My Hosts multiply for My faithful. You will even be able to survive on Holy Communion alone.
Pray that your family will endure being stripped of your material things so I can protect your souls and feed your bodies at My refuges. It will take strong faith to deny your comforts and pleasures, and follow Me away from the Antichrist's power. Have hope and trust in Me no matter how much you will be tested to deny your faith. Worship only Me and refuse any microchips in your body."
October 20, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, just as you see the animals storing food for the winter, so some people are preparing food as well in canning or other means of storage. With the many disasters affecting crop lands, you could see some short term shortages in various foods. I have asked you to set aside some food in your pantries for the coming tribulation.
Even before this time it may be wise to store some extra food for when the coming world famine will cause shortages. I will multiply your food when it is needed and when the evil ones will make it difficult to buy food."
November 6, 2005:
Jesus said: "My people, today's Gospel of the wise and foolish virgins is all about your prudent preparations for not only the end times, but also to be prepared in your soul at all times for when you will die. You have many opportunities to have your sins cleansed, but do not wait for the tomorrow that you may never see.
I will come at a time that you will not expect, and you do not want to be on the outside of heaven when the door will be bolted shut and I will tell you that I do not know you. The three days of darkness will require blessed candles to see, and do not look at the wrath of My justice as the evil ones will be burning in the flames of a hell on earth. Once the evil ones are cleansed from the earth, I will renew the earth and you will see a new heavens and a new earth in My Era of Peace."
January 16, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, there is a lot of manipulation and misrepresentation of the facts going on in pharmaceutical drug companies. Some companies know their product has bad side effects, yet they still sell them until the public complains with lawsuits. Some drugs are diluted or exchanged with generic ones to make more money.
Prices between different countries are examples of how over priced your drugs are in America. New expensive drugs are encouraged among doctors, even when older generic drugs do just as good. The drug business is worth so much money, that it lends itself to corruption at all levels.
People's poor diets and eating habits have created many sick people. Environmental pollution and adulterated foods are another reason that you are seeing so many diseases and cancer. It is unfortunate that a steady diet of these drugs are also causing liver and kidney problems that can even lead to people's death.
All of man's medicines have side effects because they are unnatural and are not made for the balance of nature. Herbs and vitamins are better cures in the long run, but because they are cheap, the medical profession even frowns on alternative cures.
Natural means for cures are far better for your health and the long term healing of the body. Pray that your doctors and drug companies will provide you with the truth, and not just another means to make them money."
February 7, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, the baskets full of leftover food refers to My two miracles where I multiplied the food for the five thousand and the four thousand. The number seven and twelve are all throughout these accounts. With the five thousand there were five loaves of bread and two fish adding up to seven.
After the people ate their fill, twelve baskets of food were collected from the leftovers. With the four thousand there were seven loaves to start and after the people ate, there were seven baskets of leftovers collected. These miracles showed My power, but also it was respectful of not wasting the food left over. These baskets also show you that I will give you My gifts that will more than satisfy your needs.
These miracles of the bread being multiplied also can be seen in how the Bread of Holy Communion is also multiplied, yet I am fully present in each Host. This is also a forerunner for how I will multiply the food for My faithful in the tribulation time. For those without a Mass, I will have My angels bring you Communion so I can be with you all days, even up to when I return."
May 29, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, in the middle of your country you know that there are old fault lines that caused much damage years ago. This vision of a house in the South on this fault line shows how violent earth quakes can be now that more people live there. In this part of your country they do not build houses to stand earthquakes.
That is why any damage from earthquakes will be much more severe than in California. I have told you to move away from areas prone to earthquakes, hurricanes, and tornadoes. If you must live in these areas, then build your homes to withstand these disasters where possible.
Place scapulars and blessed medals all over your houses for protection from these natural disasters. If you call on My help, I will send My angels of protection to keep you from harm. Trust in My protection to guide these storms away from your houses."
June 6, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, My prayer warriors are those here giving adoration to My Blessed Sacrament. Those, who are joined to My Heart and that of My Blessed Mother, are close to her devotions that lead you to Me. How often you are joy filled in praying all the Mysteries of the Holy Rosary.
The rosary and the scapular are your weapons to fight the evil ones. Other devotions to My Blessed Mother are your consecration to her before her feast days, her litanies, and many other devotions at the various places of her apparitions. She has given many messages and signs for the whole world to understand that you are living in the end times. I have given many messages also about this evil era.
I am warning you still that your spiritual weapons are most important in battling the evil ones, and not your physical weapons. The evil ones use war and wealth to destroy you and cause you to fight each other. Know that My power is greater than all of the demons, and when you summon My help, I will send you My graces, blessings, and My angels to protect you. Have no fear of this day or of any other day of evil, since I have My arms of protection wrapped around you. Those, who pray to My Blessed Mother, will also have her mantle of protection guarding you as well from the evil ones. Continue to pray all of your daily rosaries for My Blessed Mother's intentions."
June 9, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people of faith, this attack of the demons upon My elect will be the worst evil that you will ever experience as a human. Temptations and physical torture will be very hard to resist by My elect. But remember that My power is greater than the demons. My faithful must cling to My Real Presence in My Eucharist and spiritual communion to have the spiritual strength to resist the demons. Call out in My Name for your protection and My angels will be at your side. Trust in Me even in hopeless cases and I will save your souls."
September 29, 2006:
St. Michael said: "I am St. Michael and I stand before God as his militant army of angels. Many of you were taken back by the more sobering messages in recent weeks, as well as by the developments worldwide. You need to put all of these things in perspective to the power of your God. You have heard of Satan's power being compared as a grain of sand to God's power. Sodo not be fearful of the evil ones because Our Lord is standing at your side every day.
He has defeated the evil one by His death on the cross and His salvation is available to all who accept Him as Lord of their lives. God's grace and protection are as near as your local confessional or church. Keep your souls pure and strong in faith, and the evil ones cannot harm you. You also can call on us angels through Jesus, and we will come to your aid against any demons.
Call in the Name of Jesus, and my prayer of exorcism and the devils will flee from you. The more serious battles on earth are coming about soon. Do not be frightened by any of the deeds of the demons or evil people because soon they will be defeated and Our Lord's reign of peace will be brought about. You will be given sufficient graces to endure this tribulation, so have no fear and trust in your Lord's Word."
October 31, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, this vision is about an electromagnetic pulse weapon that your military has that can put electricity out in a whole city and keep all of your cars from running.
This capability could throw major cities into great chaos as a pretext for implementing martial law or emergency control over the people in a given area. You are so dependent on electricity and your vehicles that this weapon could bring your cities to a complete standstill. This is why your alternative fuels and bikes will be needed for heat and transportation. When these major events lead up to martial law, you will need to call on Me and have your guardian angels lead you to the nearest refuge or interim refuge.
Do not hesitate to get to your refuges before the evil ones will come to your house to try and implant you with microchips or take you to the death camps if you refuse. Call on My help, for I will protect you from these evil ones. Have no fear, but trust in My protection."
November 17, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, this dark blue fluorescent color all over everything is a sign that the one world people will initiate a pandemic virus attack in various places. Many people will get sick in these areas and there will be a fair number of deaths. You will see quarantine areas posted and this could become another event that could precipitate martial law.
The one world people will have antidotes or vaccines that will heal people, but it will come at the cost of having a microchip in your body. Do not be afraid, My faithful, because I will give you some ways to protect yourself from this virus. You will need some canister type filtered masks with extra filters or canisters.
By building up your immune system with herbs, vitamins, and Hawthorn tea or pills, you will protect your body from this sickness. If national martial law is declared, then you will call on Me to lead you to My refuges where you will be healed of any sicknesses by looking at the Luminous Cross or drinking the miracle spring water. Be assured that you will not be tested long before I will cast all of the evil ones into hell and then I will renew the earth for My Era of Peace."
November 30, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, in addition to the spiritual protection of your homes, you can call on Me and My angels to protect your homes from physical destruction. Many have placed blessed medals on their windows, and scapulars in various rooms to protect their homes from damage.
Even during hurricanes, earthquakes, and forest fires, many protected homes have survived intact while others around them were destroyed. Using blessed objects and constant prayer will protect your homes."
November 30, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, there are consecrations and dedications done for every church and holy place. It would also be appropriate to have your house consecrated and dedicated to My Sacred Heart. In the time of tribulation all of My refuges and interim refuges should be on consecrated land. By putting up a holy barrier around your houses, the demons will not dare to come into your house. You have the means to ask your priest to consecrate your houses, so take advantage of these graces."
November 30, 2006:
Jesus said: "My people, you travel often from your house to work and other places, so you can take your holy water in your cars for physical and spiritual protection. Even carrying blessed sacramentals on your person as Benedictine blessed crosses and rosaries will give you personal protection from the demons.
Call on My angels and your guardian angels to help you in all of your travels. When you ask for My help in prayer, I will be at your side through any difficulty."
June 21, 2007:
Jesus said: "My people, I have asked you to put aside some food that could be stored for a while until you will need it during the tribulation. There will be food shortages during that time and chips will be required to buy and sell the food. I will multiply what you need so you can share it with your neighbors. Have trust in Me that you will have what you need to survive."
August 10, 2007:
Jesus said: "My people, you have no idea of how restricted your life is going to be when martial law will be declared. I have warned you before to get some maps of all the back roads around you so you may be able to use your cars to avoid the main highways.
The vision shows you how the authorities will be setting up barbed wire fences on the main highways as checkpoints to capture those refusing to go along with the one world order. As the control of the roads will gradually tighten, you will eventually be reduced to bikes or walking.
As you are led by your guardian angel to the nearest refuge, pray for My protection so you will be made invisible to those seeking to kill you for your faith. This will be a desperate hour of persecution that you have not witnessed in America. Have no fear of the evil ones because I will give you My grace to endure this evil time.
Some may be martyred, but I will ease your pain. Others at My refuges will be protected and cared for. This time of evil will be less than three and one-half years, but I will speed up the time. Have faith and patience in My power for soon I will conquer all evil and bring you into My Era of Peace."
October 11, 2007:
Jesus said: "My people, you will see an evil that you have never seen before in the coming tribulation of the Antichrist. This will be a battle of good and evil that will require My angel protection to save your souls from the evil ones.
Do not use physical guns, but your prayers are your weapons. I will perform miracles against these evil ones so you will be safe from their weapons and false teachings. Trust in Me and have no fear because I am more powerful than all of the evil ones put together."

"I have a burning thirst to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament, and I find hardly anyone who strives, according to my desire, to allay this thirst by making me some return of love." (Words of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary)
Mother Teresa - God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen. And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens. And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be: oneness with God, oneness with Jesus.
Peace is light to the soul, light to your neighbor and light to God
Meditations by Padre Pio - Beware of anxiety and restlessness because there is nothing that more greatly impedes progress towards perfection. Sweetly place your heart in the Wounds of Our Lord, but not with force. Have great confidence in His Mercy, because He will never abandon you. But do not fail, for this reason, to tightly embrace His Holy Cross.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Just because everyone's doing it doesn't make it right!
"Numbers become the measure of goodness. If a sufficient number can be counted who violate a certain Commandment of God, then it is argued: `50 million adulterers cannot be wrong. We have to change the Commandments.' The excellence of moral excellence does not reside in any external conformity to a conventional standard, but in an inward disposition under the control of a recognized principle to which we submit whether we agree with it or not."
St. Faustina's diary - O Wound of Mercy, Heart of Jesus, hide me in Your depths as a drop of Your own blood, and do not let me out forever! Lock me in Your depths, and do You Yourself teach me to love You! Eternal Love, do You Yourself form my soul that it be made capable of returning Your love. O living Love, enable me to love You forever. I yearn to eternally reciprocate Your love. O Christ, a single gaze from You is dearer to me than a thousand worlds, than all heaven itself.
Lord, You can make my soul capable of understanding completely who You are. I know and I believe that You can do all things; if You have deigned to give Yourself to me so generously, then I know that You can be even more generous. Bring me into an intimacy with You so far as it is possible for human nature to be brought... (1631) O Christ, suffering for You is the delight of my heart and my soul. Prolong my sufferings to infinity, that I may give You a proof of my love.
I accept everything that Your hand will hold out to me. Your love, Jesus, is enough for me. I will glorify You in abandonment and darkness, in agony and fear, in pain and bitterness, in anguish of spirit and grief of heart. In all things may You be blessed. My heart is so detached from the earth, that You Yourself are enough for me. There is no longer any moment in my life for self concern. (1662)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.
Mar 2 Thank you for each sacrifice
During Lent of 1986, Our Lady gave the following message: Dear children, today I invite you to live this Lent with your small sacrifices. Thank you for each sacrifice which you have already presented to me. Dear children, continue to live in this way and, with your love, help me to present your offering to God, who will reward you. (WM 3-13-86). St Paul also speaks of sacrifice:
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. (Heb 13:16)
Reflection:
"Live this Lent," Our Lady says today, "with your small sacrifices." The Gospa knows well that God lovingly receives our sacrifices and uses them to draw us closer to Him, and to aid in no less than in the salvation of mankind.
Sacrifices are the true sign of love, for on the eternal level we gain nothing for ourselves, but direct our action outward for the benefit of another. For instance, we can speak many words of concern for the mentally handicapped, but it is quite a different thing to sacrifice several hours a week to help out a local center, especially if we find it a demanding experience. In much the same way, our sacrifice of giving up, say, alcohol or coffee for Lent is a concrete action of love for God that goes beyond mere words. A sacrifice made with love, as Mary urges us, is even redemptive in the hands of God, for it becomes joined to the greatest love-sacrifice of all, that of Christ on the cross. In addition, sacrifices such as fasting amplify the power of prayer many fold. For again, it is a concrete expression of love - more than words - that directly touch the heart of God.
Thus Our Lady's message, "live this Lent with your small sacrifices," refers to a living love for God that is proved by more than words. It says to Him, "See that I love you by my sacrifices, by my self denial, I am serious. I love you even when it hurts, just as you loved me.
Application:
St. Therese, the Little Flower, once prayed and fasted for the conversion of a murderer on death row, who was also an atheist. On the day of his execution, at the gallows, he astonished everyone by reaching for the chaplains crucifix and kissing it. How aware are you of the great power you possess in prayer with sacrifice? For what intention can it be offered this week?
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!

"I am indeed the Messiah"
Sunday, March 01, 2009
Dear Friends,
"When John heard in prison of the works of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to him with this question, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?' Jesus said in reply, 'Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them. And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me." Matthew 11:2-6
I give you again another message of Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "John was the man sent before Me to baptize people in the Jordan River in order to prepare the people for My coming. He is the one who baptized Me and when I came out of the water, the Holy Spirit came upon Me and My Heavenly Father spoke about Me saying, 'This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.' John was arrested for criticizing the King and at the end he was beheaded. He wanted his disciples to follow Me and that is why he sent some to ask Me this question, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'
I answered John's disciples by explaining to them all I was doing. First I told them about the healings that I had done such as the blind could see, the lame were walking, the lepers were cleansed, the deaf could hear and the dead were brought back to life; I also preached the Good News to the poor. All these works were to be done by the Messiah when He came on earth. After reporting to John, these people came and followed Me.
These words of mine are also addressed to you. You might ask yourselves whether I am really the Savior, the Son of God. My actions show you without a doubt that I am indeed the Messiah, the Savior of the world. I was sent by My Father in heaven to proclaim the Good News and to perform many miracles.
Only God could do the things I did. At the end I gave My life in great suffering on the Cross for your salvation. My sacrifice is what brought you life in abundance. You are now the beloved of the Father and My brothers and sisters. You will be with Me in heaven one day, if you follow the path I have traced out for you. I bless you all."
Father Melvin
FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"Take up your cross"
Saturday, February 28, 2009
Dear Friends,
Jesus said, "Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is righteous will receive a righteous man's reward. And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because he is a disciple-amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward." Matthew 10:37-42
I give you again another message from Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "I wish to play a great role in your life but you have to invite Me into your heart. Open your heart wide to Me so I can enter and make My home there at the centre of your heart. I also ask you to put Me first in your life. You have to love Me more than your father or mother or your children. You are not to put any person ahead of Me or you are not worthy of Me.
I call you to lose your life in Me and surely you will find it. Be reborn in Me, Your Savior, and you will live in My light. If you receive Me, you also receive My Father who is in heaven. We will lead you on your way to heaven. You will be rewarded for all you do for others even if you only give a cup of water to drink.
During this time of Lent, I call you to be more prayerful and to come to Church often to receive Me in Holy Communion. I want you to change your life to live in close union with Me.
Detach yourself from the attractions of the world, and do not let yourself fall into sin by saying 'yes' to the temptations of the evil one. I suffered and died for you so that you'd be My follower and take up your cross daily and follow Me. If you fall, I will help you to get up. I am Your Redeemer and Friend."

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 02 - Thank you for each sacrifice "I have a burning thirst to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament, and I find hardly anyone who strives, according to my desire, to allay this thirst by making me some return of love."

Bring me into an intimacy with You so far as it is possible for human nature to be brought... (1631)
O Christ, suffering for You is the delight of my heart and my soul. Prolong my sufferings to infinity, that I may give You a proof of my love. I accept everything that Your hand will hold out to me. Your love, Jesus, is enough for me.
I will glorify You in abandonment and darkness, in agony and fear, in pain and bitterness, in anguish of spirit and grief of heart. In all things may You be blessed. My heart is so detached from the earth, that You Yourself are enough for me. There is no longer any moment in my life for self concern. (1662)

Thank you for each sacrifice which you have already presented to me. Dear children, continue to live in this way and, with your love, help me to present your offering to God, who will reward you.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 01 - Experience this peace
St. Gabriel Possenti, Patron of Clerics & Youth (Italy) 1838-1862 "There is more sweetness in one hour of prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament than in all the world's crowded theaters, and brilliant drawing rooms, and giddy diversions, and social gatherings" (St. Gabriel Possenti).
"He remains among us until the end of the world. He dwells on so many altars, though so often offended and profaned" (St. Maximilian Kolbe).
Mother Teresa - Jesus said, " Learn of me for I am meek and humble of heart."
The naked truth is the magnet to draw hearts
Meditations by Padre Pio - Walk with simplicity in the ways of the Lord and do not torment your spirit. Your must hate your faults, but with a quiet hate, not troublesome and restless. We must be patient with them and gain from them through holy humility. Without that patience, instead of diminishing, your imperfections will increase constantly, as there is nothing that nourishes our defects like restlessness, and the haste to drive them away.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
How we have lowered the moral bar "The growth of democracy has done much to do away with a false social snobbishness and to keep men humble in their external relations. But it has also, from another point of view, weakened the respect for Goodness and Truth, inasmuch as the masses of people are generally inclined to equate morality with the general level of society at any given moment."

I salute You, O glorious Godhead who have deigned to stoop to me, and out of love for me have so emptied Yourself as to assume the insignificant form of bread. I salute You, Jesus, never-fading flower of humanity.
You are all there is for my soul. Your love is purer than a lily, and Your presence is more pleasing to me than the fragrance of a hyacinth. Your friendship is more tender and subtle than the scent of a rose, and yet it is stronger than death.
O Jesus, incomprehensible beauty, it is with pure souls that You communicate best, because they alone are capable of heroism and sacrifice. O sweet, rose-red blood of Jesus, ennoble my blood and change it into Your own blood, and let this be done to me according to Your good pleasure. (1575)
O my Jesus, if You yourself do not soothe the longing of my soul, then no one can either comfort or soothe it. Your every approach arouses new raptures of love in my soul, but also a new agony; because, despite all Your approaches to my soul, even the most exceptional, I am still loving You from a distance, and my heart dies in an ecstasy of love; because this is still not the complete and eternal union, although You commune with me so very often unveiled [as if face to face]; nevertheless, You thereby open in my soul and heart an abyss of love and desire for You, my God, and this bottomless abyss, this total desiring of God, cannot be completely filled on this earth. (1600)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.
March 1 - EXPERIENCE THIS PEACE
Our Lady speaks of peace in this monthly message:
"Dear Children, today I thank you and I want to invite you all to God's peace. I want each of you to experience, in your heart, this peace which only God can give. I bless you with God's blessing and beseech you to live, dear children, in the way I have shown you.
I love you, dear children, which is why I do not count the number of times I have called you—and continue to call you.
I thank you for all you have done according to my wishes. Help me, please, that I may present you to God and guide you to salvation." (Monthly Message June 25, 1987).
And in John's gospel, Christ gives his peace to his disciples:
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. (Jn 14:26-27)
Reflection:
The effect of the Holy Spirit's work in our lives is often a deep and lasting peace. Unlike the world's peace, which is only the absence of conflict, this peace lives in us as a confident assurance in all circumstances. With Christ's peace, we have no need to fear the past, present, or future.
Application:
Reflect today on this line from the philosopher Baruch Spinoza: "Peace is not an absence of war; it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, and justice."
Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 28 - Experience in your heart, this peace
Bl. Angela of Foligno, Widow & Mother (Italy) 1248-1309—Feast, February 28 "Burning with love for us, [Jesus] You desired to give Yourself to us and took up Your dwelling in the consecrated Host, entirely and forever, until the end of time. And You did this, not only to give us a memorial of Your death which is our salvation, but You did it also, to remain with us entirely and forever" (Bl. Angela of Foligno, Third Order Franciscan).
"Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, inflame our hearts with love for you."
Mother Teresa - Holiness is the greatest gift that God can give us because for that reason He created us.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Pray for the wicked, pray for the lukewarm, pray even for fervent souls, but pray especially for the Supreme Pontiff, for all the Spiritual and temporal needs of Holy Church, our most tender Mother. A special prayer for all those who are working for the salvation of souls and for God's glory.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - What goes up must come down!
"Almost all moments of high sensible exaltation are followed by a period of depression. This is particularly true in any experience which has to do with the flesh. Drunkenness is followed by the hangover, excesses by disgust, the dream stage of opium by disenchanting depression. The body cannot sustain continued pleasure. Even tickling can turn into pain."
St. Faustina's diary
At that moment, love for Jesus was enkindled so strongly in my heart that, offering myself for ungrateful souls, I immersed myself completely in Him. When I came to my senses, the Lord allowed me to taste a little of the ingratitude which flooded His Heart. This experience lasted for a short while. (1538)
The Lord said to me, I am delighted with your love. Your sincere love is as pleasing to My Heart as the fragrance of a rosebud at morningtide, before the sun has taken the dew from it. The freshness of your heart captivates Me; that is why I unite Myself with you more closely than with any other creature... (1546)
O Everlasting Love, Jesus, who have enclosed Yourself in the Host, And therein hide Your divinity and conceal Your beauty, You do this in order to give Yourself, whole and entire, to my soul And in order not to terrify it with Your greatness.
O Everlasting Love, Jesus, who have shrouded Yourself with bread, Eternal Light, incomprehensible Fountain of joy and happiness, Because You want to be heaven on earth to me, That indeed You are, when Your love, O God, imparts itself to me. (1569)

Jesus Is The Way, The Truth And The Light!
At the 8:00 AM Mass I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed for all with special needs and intentions. Prior to receiving the most precious Body and Blood of Christ, I made an Act Of Contrition.
On my knees with both hands covering my face and with the precious Host on my tongue, I prayed to God to please remove all exterior distraction from my heart and mind. I gave thanks and praise to Jesus then prayed, Speak Lord, Your servant listens.
Initially all that I saw was a blue path that widened as it went higher toward the heavens, while all else seemed much darker. Then Jesus spoke saying; My child Eileen, be certain that you take the right path that leads directly to me. For if you do not choose the right path, you may become lost and fearful.
I AM the Way, the Truth and The Light! All who focus on Me will be guided safely home. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.
Message to Carol Ameche Feb.22, 2009
External locution through Carol at Ameche Prayer Group, 2/22/2009
My beloved ones, I am your God and your Father. I come this day asking of My children throughout the world, to practice the gift of unity. In your hearts, My children, you must be one as you pray to Me, united, begging mercy. United in joy and trust and all of the virtues Heaven has spoken about for so long.
You must be a sign, not noticeably your doing, but a recipient of My grace, of My presence with you, an experience of the presence of Jesus and the Holy Spirit and the Holy Mother. Allow these things to be foremost in your minds, My dear ones, all in the name of unity, all in the name of My son, Jesus.
You are being given new power of prayer once again this day, but each day, now. Honor that gift, My children, by being aware of it, by calling it to mind, by living particularly in these gifts, in the gifts of the presence of the Triune God and Holy Mother. These are increases of the same gifts you have been receiving, but more effective, more powerful, deeper, more deeply are you receiving these gifts; and as you accept them, they become part of you, these gifts, in a deeper way, and your commitment is improved and increased as well.
The way I am speaking leads you to believe and understand that you are being gifted for battle. This does not send fear through you any more. It sends gratitude through you, as it should. I speak in a serious voice, because this preparation today is most serious.
Do not listen to messages that will tell you when this is going to happen or that is going to happen, or that you need to be a certain place for something to happen that would be a grace filled experience. We are one, My children, and by means of that very unity, you will receive all My promises, all the protection that has been mentioned and given all these many years.
Do not walk in fear. Do not walk without peace, the peace that only can come from your trust that I am taking care of you, that you are protected, that you are Mine; and no one can change that, unless you choose otherwise. I speak with a deal of excitement this day because I see your hearts so ready to receive; and you know also you are about to experience an apparition of the Holy Mother (most of us went from the prayer at my house to hear Ivan from Medjugorje speak.
There were nearly 1000 people present, and Our Lady did appear and Ivan told us later that She blessed all present, and the sacramentals we had brought, and had showered us with the gifts of peace and patience and trust!) during which She will shower peace, shower gentleness, shower patience and all of the virtues that compliment those, that today you are become people of hope, a source of hope, an experience of hope for the entire world, more than ever before.
I love you, My warriors. I am leading you with My Jesus, through Our Holy Spirit and the power given to the Holy Mother as Mother of God. Fear nothing. Remember Our presence always, always. Be eager for victory. Amen, My children. I love you. Amen.
Message to littlest of servants February 28, 2009
THE POWER OF THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET
While driving my car home from confession I was praying the DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET for those dying at that second, hour, or day.
JESUS then spoke to me and told me that a person was dying and that person was in danger of LOSING THEIR SOUL TO THE FIRES OF HELL and that I needed to continue to pray the DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET ESPECIALLY FOR THIS SOUL.
I PRAYED THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET FROM MY HEART ASKING THAT IT BE OFFERED THROUGH THE IMMACULATE HEART OF HIS MOTHER FOR THIS SOUL.
When I was done JESUS spoke again to me and said that soul had been saved by the DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET and had entered the sixth level of purgatory.
JESUS then said that HE wants us to PRAY THE DIVINE MERCY FOR THE SICK AND THE DYING because this PRAYER SAVES MANY SOULS. That through this PRAYER SOULS WHO ARE MOST IN NEED OF HIS MERCY AT THE MOMENT OF DEATH RECEIVE IT.
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!

Fr Doucette - Sat, Feb 28, 2009: "Take up your cross"
FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"Take up your cross"
Saturday, February 28, 2009
Dear Friends,
Jesus said, Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet?s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is righteous will receive a righteous man?s reward. And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because he is a disciple amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward. Matthew 10:37 42
I give you again another message from Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, I wish to play a great role in your life but you have to invite Me into your heart. Open your heart wide to Me so I can enter and make My home there at the centre of your heart. I also ask you to put Me first in your life. You have to love Me more than your father or mother or your children. You are not to put any person ahead of Me or you are not worthy of Me.
I call you to lose your life in Me and surely you will find it. Be reborn in Me, Your Savior, and you will live in My light. If you receive Me, you also receive My Father who is in heaven. We will lead you on your way to heaven. You will be rewarded for all you do for others even if you only give a cup of water to drink.
During this time of Lent, I call you to be more prayerful and to come to Church often to receive Me in Holy Communion. I want you to change your life to live in close union with Me. Detach yourself from the attractions of the world, and do not let yourself fall into sin by saying ?yes? to the temptations of the evil one. I suffered and died for you so that you'd be My follower and take up your cross daily and follow Me. If you fall, I will help you to get up. I am Your Redeemer and Friend.

Father Charles' LETTER
Dear Benefactors,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The most Reverend Father Melvin never ceases to inform me of all what you do for me, concerning my forthcoming formation at the University of Saint Paul in Ottawa where this year's fall course will being on September 9, 2009.
This truly touches my heart since these studies will help in solving the conflicts which form most of our societies. Even if the amount has not yet attained the required sum, your good will shows your keen interest in this matter-the formation of a person, a servant of Christ, who could then help others through his priestly vocation.
By your generosity you thus contribute to the betterment of our societies to build a better civilization. Let me tell you how I pray to Our Lord Jesus-for your good heart-while celebrating the Eucharist each day, for Him to inundate you and all your loved ones with His numerous graces.
With all my gratitude, for what I am and will be the beneficiary to realize this project of studies, I wish you a good lent for an agreeable climb toward Easter. May God bless you!
Father Charles

Message of February 25, 2007
"Dear children! Open your heart to God's mercy in this Lenten time. The Heavenly Father desires to deliver each of you from the slavery of sin. Therefore, little children, make good use of this time and through meeting with God in confession, leave sin and decide for holiness. Do this out of love for Jesus, who redeemed you all with His blood, that you may be happy and in peace. Do not forget, little children: your freedom is your weakness, therefore follow my messages with seriousness. Thank you for having responded to my call."
- Message of February 25, 2006
"Dear children! In this Lenten time of grace, I call you to open your hearts to the gifts that God desires to give you. Do not be closed, but with prayer and renunciation say `yes' to God and He will give to you in abundance. As in springtime the earth opens to the seed and yields a hundredfold, so also your heavenly Father will give to you in abundance. I am with you and love you, little children, with a tender love. Thank you for having responded to my call." -
"Our Lady of the Eucharistic Heart, I beg you to give Jesus to souls!" "This morning, at the end of my meditation, I was suddenly given to understand clearly that my duty now, and my task in eternity, until the end of the world, is and will be, through the Blessed Virgin, to send forth rays from the Heart of Jesus on all souls." (Bl. Dina Belanger)
"No invocation responds better to the immense desire of my Eucharistic Heart to reign in souls than: Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, may your kingdom come through the immaculate Heart of Mary." (Words of Jesus to Bl. Dina Belanger)
Mother Teresa - Whatever you do, even if you help somebody cross the road, you do it to Jesus. Even if you give somebody a glass of water, you do it to Jesus. Such a simple little teaching, but it is so important.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Meanwhile don't be afflicted to the point of losing your interior peace. Pray with perseverance, trust, and a serene and calm mind.
- Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Only God can promise and provide perfect bliss!
"In all human love it must be realized that every man promises a woman, and every woman promises a man, that which only God alone can give, namely, perfect happiness. One of the reasons why so many marriages are shipwrecked is because as the young couple leave the altar, they fail to realize that human feelings tire and that the enthusiasm of the honeymoon is not the same as the more solid happiness of enduring human love."
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.
Feb 27 - ASK THEN, FOR ALL THAT YOU NEED
The following message was given to Marija while she was in America in Nov.1988 :
"I invite you to pray and to give yourselves completely to God. I will give you strength and help you whenever you are in need; ask then, for all that you need, for I will intercede for you in God's presence. " (Special Message November 23,1988).
While trusting Our Lady to give us all that we need, we will find at the same time that our trust in God will grow ever stronger :
The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
A stronghold in times of trouble.
And those who know
your name put their trust in you,
For you, O Lord,
have not forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9
Reflection :
The Lord never forsakes those who seek and trust him; nor can Our Lady, who is forever faithful as her Son. Although loss of suffering may wound us deeply, our God is as close as a whispered prayer. We can trust him to heal us.
This is the spirit of trust that John Cardinal Newman expressed in the following prayer :
"God created me to do him some definite service; he has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. I have my mission?I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next.
I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good. I shall do his work. I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place while not intending it?if I do but keep his commandments.
Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve him; if I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what he is about. He may take away my friends, he may throw me among strangers, he may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my
future from me, still he knows what he is about. Therefore I will trust him.
Applications :
Simply reflect on Cardinal Newman's prayer once more today. You may wish to offer it especially in anxious or troubled times.

Feb 28 - EXPERIENCE THIS PEACE
Our Lady speaks of peace in this monthly message:
"Dear Children, today I thank you and I want to invite you all to God's peace. I want each of you to experience, in your heart, this peace which only God can give. I bless you with God's blessing and beseech you to live, dear children, in the way I have shown you.
I love you, dear children, which is why I do not count the number of times I have called you-and continue to call you.
I thank you for all you have done according to my wishes. Help me, please, that I may present you to God and guide you to salvation. "(Monthly Message June 25, 1987).
And in John's gospel, Christ gives his peace to his disciples
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. (Jn 14 :26-27)
Reflection:
The effect of the Holy Spirit's work in our lives is often a deep and lasting peace. Unlike the world's peace, which is only the absence of conflict, this peace lives in us as a confident assurance in all circumstances. With Christ's peace, we have no need to fear the past, present, or future.
Application:
Reflect today on this line from the philosopher Baruch Spinoza: "Peace is not an absence of war; it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, and justice."
Fr Doucette - Tue, Feb 24, 2009: "Be a faithful follower of mine"
FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"Be a faithful follower of mine"
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Dear Friends,
Jesus said, Therefore do not be afraid of them. Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father. But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father. Matthew 10:26 33
Following is the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, There will be persecutions of My followers but do not be afraid of them. These persecutors do the work of the evil one and they are like those who persecuted Me during My public life.
These evil people can only kill the body but they cannot touch your soul. You should be afraid of God who can destroy both the soul and body in hell. Remember, you are worth much in the eyes of the Father. The Father, the Holy Spirit and I love you all with infinite love and We give you all the graces you need.
I call you all to be men and women of faith who are not afraid to acknowledge Me before the people. Express your belief in Me as the Son of God who came to suffer and die in order to redeem you from your sins. If you acknowledge Me before others, I will acknowledge you before My Father in heaven.
I am your greatest friend who never leaves you and strengthens you to fight the good fight till the end. With Me you can conquer the evil one and grow in holiness every day of your life.
Be a true example of a faithful follower of mine. Do not rely on yourself but rely on Me and you will succeed. Do the will of your Heavenly Father and you will be blessed by Him. Forgive all those who hurt you and I will forgive you all your sins. I love you.

Fr Doucette - Wed, Feb 25, 2009: "Make a resolution"
FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"Make a resolution"
Wednesday, February 25, 2009 Dear Friends,
Filled with the holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were over he was hungry. The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread." Jesus answered him, "It is written: 'One does not live by bread alone.'"
Then he took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a single instant. The devil said to him, "I shall give to you all this power and their glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I may give it to whomever I wish. All this will be yours, if you worship me." Jesus said to him in reply, "It is written: 'You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him alone shall you serve.'"
Then he led him to Jerusalem, made him stand on the parapet of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written: 'He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,' and: 'With their hands they will support you, lest you dash your foot against a stone.'" Jesus said to him in reply, "It also says, 'You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.'" When the devil had finished every temptation, he departed from him for a time. Luke 4:1 13
Father Charles received $335.00 yesterday and now his fund stands at $7,775.00. And another person wrote to me saying that there is a cheque for $200.00 on the way for his fund.
I give you another message from Our Lord addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, The time has come for you to join Me in the desert for forty days and forty nights. I spent these days in prayer to My Father in preparation for My public life. During this time I was tempted three times by the devil. He cleverly tried to win Me over but he failed every time. I am the Son of God and it would be unthinkable that I would succumb to such tricks by the evil one.
Every person is tempted by the devil and you cannot say no to him without My help. You are called to the desert during this period of Lent to get rid of your evil attachments and to build up your resistance to the evil one. By coming close to Me through fasting and prayer, you will get the graces and strength you need to remain on the right path.
Make a resolution to fast every week, to pray more and with greater fervor, and to repent of all your sins. You will grow in holiness and you will be more spiritual.

Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 27 - Ask then, for all that you need
Message of February 25, 2007 "Dear children! Open your heart to God's mercy in this Lenten time. The Heavenly Father desires to deliver each of you from the slavery of sin. Therefore, little children, make good use of this time and through meeting with God in confession, leave sin and decide for holiness.
Do this out of love for Jesus, who redeemed you all with His blood, that you may be happy and in peace. Do not forget, little children: your freedom is your weakness, therefore follow my messages with seriousness. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Message of February 25, 2006 "Dear children! In this Lenten time of grace, I call you to open your hearts to the gifts that God desires to give you. Do not be closed, but with prayer and renunciation say `yes' to God and He will give to you in abundance.
As in springtime the earth opens to the seed and yields a hundredfold, so also your heavenly Father will give to you in abundance. I am with you and love you, little children, with a tender love. Thank you for having responded to my call."
"Our Lady of the Eucharistic Heart, I beg you to give Jesus to souls!"
"This morning, at the end of my meditation, I was suddenly given to understand clearly that my duty now, and my task in eternity, until the end of the world, is and will be, through the Blessed Virgin, to send forth rays from the Heart of Jesus on all souls." (Bl. Dina Belanger)
"No invocation responds better to the immense desire of my Eucharistic Heart to reign in souls than: Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, may your kingdom come through the immaculate Heart of Mary." (Words of Jesus to Bl. Dina Belanger)
Mother Teresa -
Whatever you do, even if you help somebody cross the road, you do it to Jesus. Even if you give somebody a glass of water, you do it to Jesus. Such a simple little teaching, but it is so important.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Meanwhile don't be afflicted to the point of losing your interior peace. Pray with perseverance, trust, and a serene and calm mind.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Only God can promise and provide perfect bliss! "In all human love it must be realized that every man promises a woman, and every woman promises a man, that which only God alone can give, namely, perfect happiness. One of the reasons why so many marriages are shipwrecked is because as the young couple leave the altar, they fail to realize that human feelings tire and that the enthusiasm of the honeymoon is not the same as the more solid happiness of enduring human love."
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.
Feb 27 - ASK THEN, FOR ALL THAT YOU NEED
The following message was given to Marija while she was in America in Nov.1988 :
"I invite you to pray and to give yourselves completely to God. I will give you strength and help you whenever you are in need; ask then, for all that you need, for I will intercede for you in God's presence. " (Special Message November 23,1988).
While trusting Our Lady to give us all that we need, we will find at the same time that our trust in God will grow ever stronger :
The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you,
For you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9
Reflection : The Lord never forsakes those who seek and trust him; nor can Our Lady, who is forever faithful as her Son. Although loss of suffering may wound us deeply, our God is as close as a whispered prayer. We can trust him to heal us.
This is the spirit of trust that John Cardinal Newman expressed in the following prayer :
"God created me to do him some definite service; he has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. I have my mission—I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next.
I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good. I shall do his work. I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place while not intending it—if I do but keep his commandments.
Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve him; if I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what he is about. He may take away my friends, he may throw me among strangers, he may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me—still he knows what he is about. Therefore I will trust him.
Applications : Simply reflect on Cardinal Newman's prayer once more today. You may wish to offer it especially in anxious or troubled times.
Message Thru Lec - February 27, 2009
February 27, 2009 7:00 A.M. From the Still, Small, Inner Voice
Son, hear my words in your heart. I am giving you the authority to speak in my behalf. You are a messenger of good news. Bring my messages of hope and love to the hearers. I am counting on you to make your Father in heaven known through these messages.
I wish people to be conscious of my ever presence not as a harsh judge who will immediately jump at the opportunity to convict people from their trespasses but a patient, loving, caring, protective Father of All Mankind.
I wish everyone to enjoy eternity in the unfading beauty, peace, serenity and abounding joy of my kingdom where there are many dwelling places reserved for my faithful children. One day you will see Me as I AM and when that meeting takes place, you will no longer feel a stranger because I have made myself known to you my faithful children while you are still here on earth.
Many exciting adventures await you my children as there is no boredom in heaven. You will explore worlds that you thought were never possible and this will preoccupy your life in eternity for life in the beyond is not to be spent in idleness. You will love it. Therefore, aim to persevere in your faith.
Whether you live or die before my Son Jesus appears for the second time, as long as your soul is ready to enter into my presence, you will have no regrets for having lived in my will.
I wish that many of you will remain and be taken up alive like my beloved Enoch.
7:20 A.M.
Scripture Reference on What The Bible says on Enoch
Hebrews 11:5 (New American Standard Bible) 5By faith (A)Enoch was taken up so that he would not (B)see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God.

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
FOREWORD
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).

"Be a faithful follower of mine"
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Dear Friends,
Jesus said, Therefore do not be afraid of them. Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father. But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father. Matthew 10:26 33
Following is the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, There will be persecutions of My followers but do not be afraid of them. These persecutors do the work of the evil one and they are like those who persecuted Me during My public life.
These evil people can only kill the body but they cannot touch your soul. You should be afraid of God who can destroy both the soul and body in hell. Remember, you are worth much in the eyes of the Father. The Father, the Holy Spirit and I love you all with infinite love and We give you all the graces you need.
I call you all to be men and women of faith who are not afraid to acknowledge Me before the people. Express your belief in Me as the Son of God who came to suffer and die in order to redeem you from your sins. If you acknowledge Me before others, I will acknowledge you before My Father in heaven.
I am your greatest friend who never leaves you and strengthens you to fight the good fight till the end. With Me you can conquer the evil one and grow in holiness every day of your life.
Be a true example of a faithful follower of mine. Do not rely on yourself but rely on Me and you will succeed. Do the will of your Heavenly Father and you will be blessed by Him. Forgive all those who hurt you and I will forgive you all your sins. I love you.

Fr Doucette - Mon, Feb 23, 2009: "Join your sufferings to mine"
FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"Join your sufferings to mine"
Monday, February 23, 2009
Dear Friends,
Jesus said, Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of people, for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans.
When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.
You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. No disciple is above his teacher, no slave above his master. ... If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household! Matthew 10:16 25
Here is another message from Our Lord given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him saying, I told My disciples about the coming persecutions. All those who believed in Me would be handed over to courts and scourged and many would die.
They did not have to worry about what they would say in court because the Holy Spirit would speak through them. Brother would hand over brother, and father his child. You will be hated by all because of Me but the one who lasts till the end will be saved.
After My Ascension for hundreds of years there were persecutions throughout the Roman Empire. They killed many holy people and they thought they were doing a good thing. There are many saints and martyrs from these years that are venerated in My Church.
There will be more persecutions in the future and in fact there has been persecutions in My Church all through her two thousand years of existence. As they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; but be of good cheer because you are on the right path. I will never leave you, so remain always with Me.
See how My Apostles have suffered. They are all martyrs except John although he suffered greatly; he pulled through everything and remained alive by a miracle. There will be more persecutions in the future but do not worry I love you. Join your sufferings to mine so that the peoples of the world may accept Me and live with Me in heaven.

Message to Louise Feb. 21, 2009
Message via L., V+J February 21, 2009- - -11 A.M.
L. began to receive a message from her sons and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood." (and other various prayers of testing)
Then Joey and Stephen spoke, " Mom, oh dear mom, all of Heaven, the Holy Souls and God's tiny remnant are united in constant prayer. The prayers are sung and the melody and harmony is so beautiful.
We pray that God's Will will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. If only humans would seek and do God's Will for them daily what wonderful peace would encompass the entire earth.
Now, today it's all - I, me, MY will be done. They do not believe in God or that Jesus came to earth in the flesh to live and and die for them and for them alone.
For this reason there is little if any true faith remaining on earth. Only the prayers and tears of the faithful console the Lord.
Mom, tell all people to seek God's Will daily and DO IT! Pray incessantly! Pray from your heart! God hears all prayers and very soon you will see the results of your love, faith and dedication for His Divine Justice will encompass the entire earth. This punishment has begun and will worsen quickly. God's beautiful creation is being totally destroyed by evil men everywhere.
Be at peace mom, and all God's faithful, loving remnant. Offer your all to Him each day, live for Him, do all for Him, love and pray incessantly for this is God's Will for you. He wants all souls to return to Him and reside in Heaven eternally.
Love and prayers forever... Your sons Joey and Stephen"
Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 24 - Even the smallest prayers
"'You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church' . . . 'Feed my lambs . . . Tend my sheep'. This invitation of Jesus' is especially alive in my soul when I contemplate the Eucharistic mystery. I entrust all the People of God to Him, the Good Shepherd, in this Lenten walk towards Easter" (Pope John Paul II, February 20, 2005).
Outside the Eucharistic celebration, the Church is careful to venerate the Blessed Sacrament, which must be "reserved...as the spiritual centre of the religious and parish community" (Paul VI, Mysterium Fidei, n. 68).
Mother Teresa - True love for our neighbor is to wish him well and to do good to him.
Padre Pio - He who does not meditate is like a person who never looks in the mirror and therefore does not bother to be tidy when he goes out, since he can be dirty without knowing it. The person who meditates and thinks of God, who is the mirror of his soul, tries to discover his defects, attempts to correct them, controls himself and straightens out his conscience.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Pity can be misplaced if one does not see the whole picture
"When Our Lord was being led out to Calvary, the pious women came to console Him, but He addressed them saying, 'Weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves and your children.' In other words, 'Your pity is misplaced. It is not for Me that you should mourn, but rather weep for those who send Me to death.
Shed no tears for the Crucified, but for the crucifers. I go to a momentary sorrow, but there is a glorious Resurrection from it. In every flame there is a point of quietness and repose where a match may be inserted without igniting; so too within My heart, already so crowned with thorns of sorrow, there is an oasis of joy which no man can take from Me.'"
St. Faustina's diary Where there is genuine virtue, there must be sacrifice as well; one's whole life must be a sacrifice. It is only by means of sacrifice that souls can become useful. It is my self-sacrifice which, in my relationship with my neighbor, can give glory to God, but God's love must flow through this sacrifice, because everything is concentrated in this love and takes its value from it. (1358)
I am coming out of this retreat thoroughly transformed by God's love. My soul is beginning a new life, earnestly and courageously; although outwardly my life will not change, and no one will notice it, nevertheless, pure love is [now] the guide of my life and, externally, it is mercy which is its fruit. I feel that I have been totally imbued with God and, with this God, I am going back to my everyday life, so drab, tiresome, and wearying, trusting that He whom I feel in my heart will change this drabness into my personal sanctity. (1363)
O Eternal Love, who enkindles a new life within me, a life of love and of mercy, support me with Your grace, so that I may worthily answer Your call, so that what You Yourself have intended to accomplish in souls through me might indeed be accomplished.
My God, I see the radiance of eternal dawn. My whole soul bounds toward You, O Lord; nothing any longer holds me back, nothing ties me to earth. Help me, O Lord, to bear the rest of my days with patience. The sacrifice of my love burns incessantly before Your Majesty, but so silently that only Your divine eye sees it, O God, and no other creature is capable of perceiving it. (1365)

Feb 24 - EVEN THE SMALLEST PRAYERS
Today the Blessed Mother speaks of prayer from the heart
: "Dear Children, today I call you to pray with the heart. Throughout this season of grace; I wish each of you to be united with Jesus. But without unceasing prayer, you cannot experience the great and beautiful graces which God is offering you.
Therefore, little children, at all times fill your hearts with even the smallest prayers. I am with you and I keep watch unceasingly over every heart which is given to me. (Monthly Message Feb 25, 1989)
St. James advises : If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. But ask in faith; never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind (Jas 1 :5-6).
Reflection :
James emphasizes that our prayer should be confident and hopeful, for God will deny nothing that is good to his children. And the Blessed Virgin stresses the importance of "even the smallest prayers, " for they too are an encounter with her divine Son.
The following is a special "small prayer " for inner peace which seeks the intercession of St. Therese, the Little Flower :
"Lord Jesus, inspired by the example of St. Therese, I place all my trust in your Sacred Heart, and surrender myself to your will. Come into my life, drive away my fears, stop my restless strivings, and show me new ways of pleasing you. Teach me to discern the good in others, and to love them with an affectionate smile, a gentle touch, a patient ear, and an affirming word.
St. Therese, pray that I may become alive again with awe, the appreciation of truth, and the courage to oppose evil. Remind me always that I am created for happiness, for the joy of living in the presence of God. St. Therese, pray that I, and all God's people, may have the inner peace that comes form confidence, surrender, and affirmation. Amen.
Application :
While reflecting on this prayer, you may wish to copy it on a mall piece of paper and tuck it into your wallet or purse for use in troubled or anxious times.

Vision to littlest of servants February 21, 2009
While in Church after Mass while praying in front of the BLESSED SACRAMENT I received the following vision.
I saw people on what looked like a battlefield and I could see that they were marching toward a group that I could not make out expect that they seemed to be dark and black and were retreating.
I then saw that the group of people who were marching had on their shirts the TWO HEARTS.
I then saw clearly that they had ROSARIES in their hands and they were PRAYING THE ROSARY.
I could hear the thunderous roar of the HAIL MARY from this group that was made up of thousands of people from every race and gender (it was wonderful to hear the HAIL MARY said like this it was powerful).
I then saw again the group that was retreating and I could now clearly see that this group was made up of demons.
Later I saw the map of the United States and on the map in the center I saw a small group of people who had ROSARIES in their hands and were in a circle. Around the circle on the rest of the map I saw nothing but darkness.
I then saw a map that had North, Central, and South America on it. In each one of these countries the scene I had seen in the United States was repeated.
Then I saw a map with every country of the world on it and the scene was repeated in all the countries. The only difference being that some of the countries had groups that were very small.
I was then given the understanding to know that these groups represented the PRAYER GROUPS that OUR LADY had formed in each country and that soon they would be called into the FINAL BATTLE TO HELP DEFEAT THE EVIL ONE AND HIS DEMONS.

How souls go to Hell or Purgatory or Heaven In September, of 1995, my wife, my daughter and I went to a Marian conference in Chicago. While we there listening to the speakers, a thought came to my mind about how souls go to hell. Now no one was talking about this subject, for some reason I just started thinking about it.
Before I go on, I must tell you that I have read several messages that state that God does not send souls to hell, that the soul sends itself to hell, and I had wondered how this could happen. Well as I said, I was thinking about this, and it is like this, darkness is sin and light is God. Now if a person lives in a room or cave of compete darkness and has been there for along time, when that person comes into the light, he or she can not stand the light so the person goes back in to the dark room.
This is like a soul that has lived in sin, when the soul dies, it can not stand to look at God, Who is pure Light, so the soul drives itself into hell. Now the next day I was praying before Jesus in the blessed sacrament, the Holy Eucharist, when I began to think of this again and it was like this, a soul who lives in sin lives in darkness, but if the soul, while still living would let some light in, then when the soul died it would be like a person, who was in a dark room but let some light in.
So then when the person went into the Light, he or she would be able to squint their eyes and look at the light and eventually be able to open their eyes all the way. This would be a soul that, when it died was not pure enough to go to heaven, so it went to purgatory. All souls are different some have to squint harder then others and some can adjust faster to the light and some live always in the light, their eyes are wide open, these go straight to heaven.
Now on this same subject I would like to quote the book The Victorious Queen of The World , a spiritual diary of a mystic, Sr. Natalia of Hungary, page 45:
Once I cried on Jesus shoulder: Why did you create hell? To answer me, Jesus brought me to the judgment of a very sinful soul, whose sins He forgave. Satan was outraged!
You are not just! This soul was mine all his life! He shouted to Jesus: This one committed so many sins, while I committed only one, and You still created hell for me.
Jesus then with unbound love told Satan: Lucifer! Did you ever ask Me for forgiveness? Then Lucifer, seemingly beside himself, shouted: That never! That I will never do!
Then Jesus turned to me, You see, if he could ask Me for forgiveness only once, hell would cease to exist.
At the conference in Chicago, September 1995, Christina Gallagher, a visionary, a mystic, a stigmatist, and a victim soul was there and made very good talk. But not about how a soul goes to Hell or purgatory. Then in November 1995 I bought a book
The Sorrow, The Sacrifice, and The Triumph by Thomas W. Petrisko, which had just come out in November 1995. This book is about Christina Gallagher, The Apparitions, Visions, and Prophecies.
Now I would like to quote, what happens at death starting on page 117, When release from the body each soul is destined for immortal life, and its future in eternity is determined by its state when death takes place and the soul is released from the body. When the body dies and the soul is released, it suddenly finds itself in the full light of awareness, able to see itself as it stands in the sight of God.
It then realizes the darkness to which the body’s actions condemned it. The sensitivity of the soul to the enormity of the Light of God is like the naked eye before the brilliance of a thousand suns, and the soul in darkness quivers in pain. It plunges itself into the sea of Hell to avoid the pain of the enormity of the Light.
Purgatory
The soul destined for Purgatory seeks shade at the level in Purgatory appropriate to its own imperfection. It will automatically plunge itself into which it failed to atone sufficiently; it will gladly go to whatever level of Purgatory is necessary, and it will be eternally grateful to God, in the knowledge that it will one day gain His Presence in Heaven.
Wow!! Now isn’ t this something. Very similar to what came to my mind at the conference. It confirms that what came to me is true.
2/17/05 Also from The Diary Of St. Faustina, I quote, After these words, I received a deeper understanding of divine mercy. Only that soul who wants [to be damned] will be damned, for God condemns no one.(1452)
Here is something else I would like to share with you.
This is why Jesus asks us to live in constant penance for our sins! We should meditate on how much He suffered for our sins, in order that we might reach salvation. We should ask His forgiveness often and love Him for His unfathomable love!

14th Meditation on Stations of the Cross from Jesus to Patsy Soto
also included are the Prayers Jesus asked be done with Meditations
Monday, February 23, 2009 10: 31 a.m. Message from Jesus to Patsy Soto Approved by Reverend Fr. Melvin Doucette & Reverend Fr. Al Winshman
I plead your most precious blood over the following words, my Lord Jesus, let it be done only according to your most Holy Will
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour , Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations
The Fourteenth Station: Jesus is Laid in the Sepulcher
Beloved little one of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, I am being removed from My Holy Mothers’ arms to be placed on cloth which had been laden with spices. This cloth brought by Joseph of Arimathea who had asked Pilate for my body. It was not only Joseph but Nicodemus as well who removed my body from my mother’ s loving arms as they proceed to wrap my body.
( John Ch 19 Vs 38 - After this Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took away his body.
39 Nicode'mus also, who had at first come to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds' weight.
40 They took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the bur ial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb where no one had ever been laid.
42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
My Holy Mother watches as Joseph and Nicodemus wrap my body. As if time were standing still, she remembers this child of hers from the day of his birth and the love she has always received from this her child. now laying before her being wrapped. She reaches over and places her hand over the wound on my side where blood and water had gushed forth. It is now over, realizing all that her son has offered in his love to the Father for all humanity to have Eternal Life.
Oh my children, remember these words from My Divine Mercy, Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.
Is that not what was given for each of you not only from Me but also what My Holy Mother gave, the life of her child for each of one of you, My children. Out of My Love and the Love of My Holy Mother to My Father, Love and Life Eternal
(John Ch 19 Vs 33) but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a20spear, and at once there came out blood and water.
35 He who saw it has borne witness -- his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth -- that you also may believe. 36 For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him shall be broken." 37 And again another scripture says, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced."
Beloved children of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, I have given you My Meditations on My Stations of the Cross which I now invite you to pray them along with My Divine Mercy as I have shown my little one. It is an invitation of your love to Me My children as you will not only offer me your love during this time of prayer but also realize and know how many souls your prayers will be saving as you meditate on my way of the cross interceding with the words I have given to My beloved St. Faustina, My Divine Mercy. I love you My children, I AM your Jesus Crucified. I AM your Jesus of Mercy.

Come, O Most Holy Spirit, we are the Church united together in prayer with the Mother. As the disciples at the very beginning, united together with Her in prayer for the gift of Your Spirit, for the gift of love, that we may be freed from selfishness and hatred, that we may be freed from every evil, and that we may start to love, that we may start to forgive and to pray, that we may start to fast.
Come, O Most Holy Spirit. Come bless us. Come, change us. You who are prayer, come and anoint us with prayer that we may become the Church that believes in the power of prayer. Come, Most Holy Spirit, renew prayer in us, that we may become the renewers of family prayer.
Come, O Most Holy Spirit, come heal us, come bless us, come convert us. O You who anoints with Your Peace, with Your Joy, with Your Love. Come anoint us.
Prayer of Surrender from St. Ignatius of Loyola
Take, O lord and receive my entire liberty, my memory, my understanding and my whole will. All that I am and all that I posses You have given me: I surrender it all to You to be disposed of according to Your Holy Will. Give me only Your Lov e and Your Grace: with these I will be rich enough and will desire nothing more.

The First Station: Jesus Is Condemned To Death
Praise be to Jesus, for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
My Beloved children, are you willing to stand with20Me before Pontius Pilate. Look into your hearts, it is not easy to surrender to the Holy Will of My Father, but with your surrender you will be filled with a Grace that will lead you and yours to Eternal Life. Pontius Pilate had no choice but to condemn Me, because he knew if he did not accept the will of the people, his decision could cause the people to rise against him. Oh my beloved children, you see the Pontius Pilate's of this world that are leading my children astray to the epitome of desolation, the pits of eternal damnation, these choices as they continue to kill My Innocents.
You my children must use the weapons I and My Holy Mother have given you, the weapons of fasting, prayer, sacrifice and the Holy Sacraments. Prayer can change even hearts of stone. As I stood before Pontius Pilate, I could see the fear in his eyes, as he knew he was condemning an innocent man, for he knew there was something different about this man who stood before him.
As he asked the people to choose for either Barabas or this man called Jesus, the evil filled the streets with cries of hate calling out that I Jesus King of the Jews should be crucified. You my children are now in a world that is filled with evil and you are being asked to make a choice. How many times has the choice been made to continue in sin and be a part of the evil and worldly choices rather than being one with your Jesus of Mercy? What will your choice be?

Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
Oh20my beloved children. It is now time for them to take me away to be crucified. I have been beaten, scourged. The weapons of evil shredded my body, tore the flesh from my bones and bleeding they grab a dirty purple cloth which was laying on the ground, putting it around my body laughing they were putting the robe of royalty around a king.
Another soldier grabbed some branches from a weeded thorn bush, twisting it and placing it on my head, screeching with laughter he was crowning a king. He pushed harder and harder to penetrate my head until the blood started streaming down my face, then they pushed me to the ground telling me to pick up my staff, the cross I was to be crucified to. Dragging the cross, the laughter grew louder from the people in the crowds as they yelled out obsenities to t he King of the Jews .
In this world, where you see the blatant evil weapons of drugs, killing, abortion, euthanasia, sex, how easy it is for your children to come under these weapons of evil destruction which deadens the souls to Graces.
Those Graces that were given as I suffered for each of you, as I allowed the beatings, scourging and the carrying of the cross for each of you, each of your children. Do not waste this time you have been given, nor the graces you have been given, change your ways, return to prayer, to sacrifice, to fasting, to the Holy Sacraments. Not just for yourself but for your children, for all my children.

Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
My beloved children open your hearts to My Words. I will give you the Grace to walk with Me your Jesus of Mercy the road of the Via Dolorosa. Just as My Father gave me the Grace to pick myself up from the heavy weight of the cross, from the pain and exhaustion of the Beating, the Scourging, the Crown of Thorns.
We are so willing to give you many Graces, it is up to you for you have a free will, your free will to accept them or to not accept them.

The Fourth Station: Jesus Meets His Afflicted Mother
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
Beloved children of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, could you stand by and watch if it was your child walking before you, bleeding, carrying a heavy cross, knowing your child was walking to his Crucifixion.
And yet My Mother did not cry out, nor did she rush towards me to try to stop this because she knew this is what the Almighty Father was allowing for the salvation of all people. She was giving her total surrender to save you my children.
Looking into her eyes I knew it was the Grace of Surrender given by the Father and yet I also knew the ultimate pain of sorrow she was suffering and could do nothing to stop this suffering for it was also My Surrender to My Father out of love for each one of you.
1 X - Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.

The Fifth Station: Simon Helps Jesus Carry His Cross
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
Oh My beloved children. When Simon was told to help me, he accepted because he had no choice. But as he continued to help me, his heart of anger and mistrust began to change. Here is this stranger being ordered to help carry a heavy wooden cross, for a stranger he didn’ t even know or desired to know.
Simon became fearful that his own life might be taken if he refused, he also feared that the evil crowds might harm him, there was no trust in his heart.
Both he and I look ahead to a road that looks long and difficult, yet he continues to help me carry a cross that neither of us chose but was chosen for us. It became the surrendering of our wills that made this difficult road called the Via Dolorsa a Grace for all of Humanity. Think about this My children how your surrender can become the Grace needed to save not only your souls but the souls of many.

10:49 p.m. 2/14/09 The Sixth Station: Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations
Beloved children of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart There was but one in the crowd that ran out to wipe my face even though she knew she could die at the=2 0hands of the soldiers for doing this. Veronica wanted to show Me that I was not alone in the midst of the horrid evil atrocity being done against this man they called Jesus King of the Jews. Her heart breaking at the scene before her.
There was no stopping the evil that was being done but she could show love and compassion even though this may have meant retribution to her. It was this love and compassion which left the imprint of My Face on her veil.
Realize My children how through your acts of Love, Prayer, Compassion, Sacrifice, Forgiveness, Fasting, The Holy Sacraments Graces of My Love can leave the imprint of My Face, My Eternal Glory, within your Soul, the souls of your children, your world.

The Seventh Station: 11:07 2/14/09 Jesus Falls A Second Time
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations
We continue on this road called the Via=2 0Dolorsa. Simon is still helping Me, yet I feel as if My Strength is leaving me and the heat is draining me to the point of exhaustion and I can no longer carry the cross which is now upon my rattled body as I have fallen now a second time.
I can’ t go on, my body tortured and pained beyond human strength. But Simon pulls the cross off atop me and helps lift me up along with the cross. His strength being given to him by the Father, as it is not to be over yet.
Please My children, draw on the strength of the Father when you feel you can no longer go on in this world of corruption, deceit, evil consumption. The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit will be your strength, your fortitude, your perseverance. We will never leave you. We have never left you. We love you, you only need to call out to us.

The Eighth Station: 11:22 2/14/09 Jesus Speaks to the Holy Women
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Savior, Redeemer, Reconcil er of all nations. Listen my children as I spoke to the Holy Women who stood crying out for what they were witnessing, the injustice, cruelty, evil. As I spoke to them, I speak this to you My children. You are in a world of evil, sadistic, materialistic socialism, which has brought the killing of innocents not only in abortion but the killing of souls in what has been loosed upon this world.
They could not change what was happening on the day of My crucifixion and as I spoke the words, do not cry for me but cry for yourselves and your children, I speak these words to you, YOU CAN CHANGE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS WORLD TODAY!
Lift your voices in Prayer, Lift your hearts to the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit in sacrifice, fasting, the Holy Sacraments. Cry out to Me your Jesus of Mercy for yourselves and your children. I Will never Leave you, I love you

The Ninth Station: Jesus Falls the Third Time
Praise Be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations
Beloved Little One, I invite you to open your heart for My Words, My Meditations which I will continue giving to you this night. Open with Prayer My Beloved one with the prayers I have invited My children to pray as they begin My Holy Way of My Cross. Oh My children, look at Me your Jesus of Mercy, continuing on the Via Dolorosa with Simon carrying most of the weight of the cross.
For My strength is again beginning to go. The weight of the cross is now to much for me to bare and the pain has caused me total exhaustion to the point of collapsing. But I continue the walk, straining to breathe as the sun and wind blows into my face and my body quickly dehydrating. Unable to go on, I fall for the third time, again the heavy cross falling and ripping the flesh even more. Such excruciating pain, the rocks, dirt and blood now clinging to the open wounds.
Simon hurriedly tries to hold on even more to the cross so that it does not fall atop of me again. I see that My Mother is standing in the distance with My beloved John and others who are continuing to follow. Her face shows the anguish of seen her son falling again in pain and I know that her desire20is to run to Me and save Me.
But again she knows she must remain silent lifting her prayers to the Father as Simon once again is given the strength to lift me and the cross, so that we can continue on this road of the Via Dolorsa. We can see ahead, the soldiers that already have reached the top of the hill where I am to be crucified.
They are drinking, laughing, yelling for me to hurry, so they can get out of the burning penetrating heat. Some of the soldiers are now gathering the crowds away, to give them room to proceed with the other two men who are now being tied to their cross. Simon and I are now struggling to get up the hill and I can see the soldiers pulling some men out of the crowd to help them lift the crosses, placing them in an upright position in order to give the room needed for my cross.
How many times My children, have you allowed situations that you know are wrong, but go along with others, because you either don’ t care to change from a lifestyle of sin, even when you know it will cause another disastrous consequences.
Or you feel that you need not make this your business because it has no affect on you. How sadly mistaken My children are, for you see each person is part of My Mystical Body and what affects one in My Mystical Body affects all.
Sin has a great affect on all My children but Grace also has a GREATER affect on all My children. Just as when Simon began this walk with Me, little did he know his heart would change=2 0to have love, compassion, empathy for this man called Jesus, and little did he know that the Father Almighty Himself would thank him for not only helping in carrying this cross, but for picking up off the ground the SON OF THE ALMIGHTY!

The Tenth Station: Jesus is Stripped of His Garments
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
My precious children, see Me alone with only the soldiers and the two men on the cross, atop this hill of the Crucifixion. The soldiers continue to pull the clothes away from My body. My Holy Mother and all those who are standing around can see that the soldiers desire to humiliate and ridicule me more, by stripping me and leaving nothing on me, not even the purple cloth they had so tenuously tied so that it would not fall of in order to show all, My Robe of Royalty.
This cloth found in the dirt, even more dirty and now soaked in My Blood. Here I stand alone, My head bowed in shame that I had no covering and all could see Me shamefully and maliciously being exhibited, another humiliation which brought laughter to the crowds and tears to My Holy Mother, to John and the others there with My Holy Mother.
My Beloved John trying to shield her, yet she did not want to be protected, she could not bare to look up, she pleaded instead forgiveness of the Father over and over again for all that they were doing to her Son, to the Son of the Almighty.
How quickly are each of you willing to forgive any who have hurt you or your family? Maybe even humiliated you or your family! Would you, could you ask forgiveness of the Father, if all this was being done to your child?

Tuesday - February 17, 2009. 12:10 a.m. The Eleventh Station: Meditation from Jesus to patsy soto Jesus is Nailed to the Cross
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
This night I speak to you of My Eleventh Station, the ascent to the cross. Be strong in Me My children, for I AM with you. The soldiers for the last time push me to the ground, but this time the cross is laid out before me as I am falling atop the cross.
My hands still tied, one soldier begins to rip the twisted rope from My wrists, it is not enough that they ridicule and yell more obscenities at Me, they surround me in laughter as the soldier to the left of me begins pulling on my arm and wrist to extend it to reach where the hole has already been started on the cross, while the soldier to the right of me ties a piece of rope around My right wrist to extend my arm to that side of the cross as the first soldier now begins to hammer the nail into the wrist, my body collapses from the pain the blood now pouring out from the wrist, now again another nail is hammered to the right wrist as another soldier is pulling my leg down but the excruciating pain throughout My body causes my leg to twist as the soldier now extends my other leg over pulling and twisting my foot over the other foot and begins hammering the nail into my feet.
The pain is unbearable, the soldiers lift the cross and drop it into the hole that had been dug so that the cross was in an upright posit ion, the excruciating pain as the cross falls into the hole , my body, my head falls forward for I have no control, I cannot breathe, I have no strength to pull my head up, but I hear my holy mother’ s voice pleading with My Father as I cry out, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do!
I see the soldiers below me, picking up My cloak, looking up at me, they are laughing, saying I had saved others, why couldn’ t I save myself (Luke 23 vs. 36 - If you are king of the Jews, save yourself ) Hearing the hate, desperation, fear coming from the man on the cross to the side of me asking me if I am the Messiah, to save myself and save them.
But the man on the other side in a voice of compassion, tells him to quiet himself, telling him that they both belong in this forsaken place but that I was not suppose to be there with them. I pull my head up looking over at him, I see the compassion and pain in his eyes, and with the little strength I have left I tell him, that this day he will be with Me in Paradise. .
I now see My Holy Mother, with My beloved John on one side and both Mary’ s on the other side. My Holy Mother’ s eyes full of tears yet full of her love reaching My Heart, giving me the strength to say to her, Woman, behold your son, and to My beloved John, I said, behold your mother.0
I gave you my children, the grace to redeem yourselves through my sacrifice of suffering on this hill called Golgatha. I gave you My Mother, to be your mother on this hill called Golgatha, She gave the Father for each one of you her son’ s unbearable sufferings, asking forgiveness for all they were doing to her son.
We gave you our complete selfless love atop this hill of Golgatha so that every soul could have the gift of life eternal, yet how many have lost and are losing their souls to evil for all eternity? Do not betray our love, return to Me your Jesus of Mercy, I will always love you.

Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
Thank you My beloved little one for opening your heart to Me your Jesus of Mercy. Whenever any of My children call out to Me I open the gates of My heart, I place My rays of life upon them showering them with My Grace, My Mercy.
The answer to your prayers may not be the answer you are looking for but it is My Perfect Will given to you.
This night I speak to you of the ultimate sacrifice of My Love, My Death in this world but Eternal Life for each of you, My children, who are accepting of My Holy Will. For I so willingly, so lovingly lead you to eternal lif e, with Me, through Me, For Me. It was My Life, offered to the Father, so that each child brought into this world would have the choice for Eternal Life.
It is now time for My life in this world to be given to the Father Almighty, one of My many sacrifices offered to the Father for you My children, yet the greatest sacrifice offered to the Father with love for all off humanity, My Death upon the cross atop the hill of Golgotha.
I have no strength, my body totally dehydrated yearns for water. Looking at the soldier below me, I say to him I thirst."
But instead of water, the soldier takes a sponge dips it into a bowl, then reaches up and the sponge with this bitter vinegar hits my lips, I refuse it. I turn away and I see My Holy Mother's face, her eyes say it all, the love she has given me since the moment she was told by the Angel Gabriel that she was with child, her love never faltered, her sacrifice unimagin able, her total surrender, her total love offered to the Father.
I know that her heart broken, must now give the ultimate gift of love to the Father, her son’ s death. I cry out to My Father, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?."
I look up giving my complete surrender to the will of My Father, I say to Him, "It is finished; Father into Thy hands I commend my spirit". Oh My children can you surrender totally to the Father?
A total surrender of your will offered to the Father Almighty for your children's souls, for your soul, for Eternal Life with the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit! Change your hearts, return to prayer, to sacrifice, to the Holy Sacraments. I love you My children, your Jesus of Mercy, your Jesus Crucified

Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations
It is over My children, standing before Pilate, betrayed, punished, the soldiers taking me to be scourged, beaten, condemned, a crown of thorns, Simon helps to carry My Cross, the long road of the Via Dolorsa, My Mother's eyes, pained with an insurmountable suffering, bearing her son’ s crucifixion. It is done, it is over. My Holy Mother never left Me .
She still at the foot of My Cross, as Joseph of Arimathea, My beloved John and other men, so carefully remove My lifeless, bloodied body, placing Me in My Holy Mother's arms. She holds me so closely, her veil covering my bloody, crowned head, she removes her veil and covers My body.
She gently removes the crown of thorns, and begins to wipe my face. She still begs forgiveness of the Father for all that was done to her son.
I was tortured and crucified but that wasn’ t my greatest agony on this day of My Crucifixion, no My children, it was seeing My Holy Mother’ s suffering throughout this day of My Crucifixion, that caused me the greatest pain. We have given you the ultimate gift of Our Love. It is your decision what you do with our love. Your Jesus of Mercy

Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour , Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations
The Fourteenth Station: Jesus is Laid in the Sepulcher
Beloved little one of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, I am being removed from My Holy Mothers’ arms to be placed on cloth which had been laden with spices. This cloth brought by Joseph of Arimathea who had asked Pilate for my body. It was not only Joseph but Nicodemus as well who removed my body from my mother’ s loving arms as they proceed to wrap my body.
( John Ch 19 Vs 38 - After this Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave.
So he came and took away his body. 39 Nicode'mus also, who had at first come to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds' weight.
40 They took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb where no one had ever been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.)
My Holy Mother watches as Joseph and Nicodemus wrap my body, as if time were standing still she remembers this child of hers from the day of his birth and the love she has always received from this her child now laying before her being wrapped, she reaches over and places her hand over the wound on my side where blood and water had gushed forth.
It is now over, realizing all that her son has offered in his love to the Father for all humanity to have Eternal Life. Oh my children, remember these words from My Divine Mercy ,
Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement=2 0of our sins and the sins of the whole world. Is that not what was given for each of you not only from Me but also what My Holy Mother gave, the life of her child for each of one of you, My children. Out of My Love and the Love of My Holy Mother to My Father, Love and Life Eternal
(John Ch 19 Vs 33 - but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.
35 He who saw it has borne witness -- his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth -- that you also may believe. 36 For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him shall be broken."
37 And again another scripture says, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced." )
Beloved children of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, I have given you My Meditations on My Stations of the Cross which I now invite you to pray them along with My Divine Mercy as I have shown my little one.
It is an invitation of your love to Me My children as you will not only offer me your love during this time of prayer but also realize and know how many souls your prayers will be saving as you meditate on my way of the cross interceding with the words I have given to My=2 0beloved St. Faustina, My Divine Mercy. I love you My children, I AM your Jesus Crucified. I AM your Jesus of Mercy.

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 from the land.
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.

"I love you with all My heart"
Saturday, February 21, 2009
Dear Friends,
"Behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, 'Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.
She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.' All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 'Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,' which means 'God is with us.'" Matthew 1:20-23
I present you now with a message from Our Blessed Mother addressed to Joseph. She spoke to him these words, "I bless you all, My children, for you are all very dear to Me. Our Heavenly Father chose Me to be the Mother of Jesus, the Savior of you all.
He came to suffer and to die on the cross for each one of you to redeem you from your sins and to make you the beloved of the Father. Before His death on the cross, He gave Me to you as your Mother. My role is to help you to come to My Son Jesus and to follow Him.
You see, My sons and daughters, that many people are suffering today because of the economic crisis that has taken hold of the world. Many people are out of work and many more have lost their homes and have little to eat. Unfortunately this crisis will get worst as time goes on.
You can bring a great change to all that, if you would leave the path of sin and return to your loving Savior who waits for you. Reform your life and call upon Him to help you. Repent of all your sins and become an active member of His church.
I will continue to pray for you that Jesus, My Son, may grant you a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit to strengthen you and to give you an increase of faith, hope and love. Make Jesus your friend and have a deep personal friendship with Him. No one else has the power to help you but Jesus, Your Savior.
He said, 'Ask and you shall receive.' So come to Him with great faith and love and ask Him for your needs and He will help you for He loves you. Do not delay, My children, but do it today. I love you, each one of you, with all My heart."

"Look at Me today on the cross" Friday, February 20, 2009
Dear Friends,
The Sentence of Death
"Now on the occasion of the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner whom they wished. And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
So when they had assembled, Pilate said to them, 'Which one do you want me to release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus called Messiah?' For he knew that it was out of envy that they had handed him over. While he was still seated on the bench, his wife sent him a message, 'Have nothing to do with that righteous man. I suffered much in a dream today because of him.'
The chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas but to destroy Jesus. The governor said to them in reply, 'Which of the two do you want me to release to you?' They answered, 'Barabbas!' Pilate said to them, 'Then what shall I do with Jesus called Messiah?' They all said, 'Let him be crucified!'
But he said, 'Why? What evil has he done?' They only shouted the louder, 'Let him be crucified!' ... Then he released Barabbas to them, but after he had Jesus scourged, he handed him over to be crucified." Matthew 27:15-23, 26
I am sending you another message from Our Lord given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "When I was brought before Pontius Pilate, the governor, he tried to have me released by the people. He asked them to choose between Me and Barabbas. Barabbas was a well known criminal and a murderer.
The people, influenced by the chief priests and the elders, began to shout to release Barabbas. Then Pilate asked them what he should do with Me, called the Messiah. They all shouted, 'Let him be crucified!' After washing his hands, Pilate had Me scourged and then handed me over to be crucified.
This trial was indeed a mockery especially as I had not done any wrong. Pilate went along with them because he was afraid. The soldiers took Me and scourged Me terribly. I was tied to a pillar and they beat me with whips that had metal pieces at the end of them.
These entered my skin and took out huge junks of My flesh. They beat Me relentlessly until I was bleeding all over My body. At the end I was lying on the floor with no more strength to stand.
See, My people, what I have suffered for you. I gave My life for you in horrible pain to pay the price for your sins. Look at Me today on the cross and repent of all your sins."
Father Melvin
Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 21 - IT IS UP TO YOU TO CHOOSE
St. Peter Damian, Bishop and Cardinal (Italy) 1007-1072, Feast, February 21 He wrote, "Your heart should beat with confidence in God's love." "Christ cannot be accused of forgetfulness: Christ does not enjoin things contrary to His commands. He is the Bread that came down from heaven, which is daily brought to the table of the Church, as a heavenly food, which is broken for the forgiveness of sins, which feeds and nourishes unto life everlasting them that eat the same."
(From our February 2003 newsletter. The entire text may be viewed at the Newsletters section website at www.ACFP2000.com)
At the Visitation [Our Lady] was greeted by St. Elizabeth who recognized the presence of Jesus veiled in His first tabernacle. Is it any wonder that Mary said: 'For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name' (Lk 1:49)? The Lord Himself has come to us. He is here! (Excerpts from the book Bread of Life)
Mother Teresa -
We need to be someone for the naked who not only lack clothing but mercy.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Be patient in persevering in this holy exercize of meditation and be content with taking small steps, until you have the legs to run, or better still, wings to fly. Be content with obedience which is never an easy matter for a soul which has chosen God as its portion, and resign yourself for now, to being a little bee in a hive, that will soon become a big bee capable of making honey.
Always humble yourself lovingly before God and men, because God speaks to those who truly have a humble heart before Him, and He enriches it with His gifts.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Burnout comes fast for those who are not sincere
"When, after multiplying the bread, the multitude wished to make Christ a bread king, Our Lord fled into the mountains alone. Economic kingships last only while the bread is plentiful and the circuses are in the playgrounds. It is always a good policy never to choose the most enthusiastic person in a gathering as a leader. Wait to see how much wood there is for the flame."
St. Faustina's diary
I will enclose myself in the chalice of Jesus so that I may comfort Him continually. I will do everything within my power to save souls, and I will do it through prayer and suffering.
I try always to be a Bethany for Jesus, so that He may rest here after all His labors. In Holy Communion, my union with Jesus is so intimate and incomprehensible that even if I wanted to describe it in writing I could not do so, because I lack the words. (735)
During Mass today, I saw the Lord Jesus, who said to me, Be at peace, My daughter; I see your efforts, which are very pleasing to Me. And the Lord disappeared, and it was time for Holy Communion. After I received Holy Communion, I suddenly saw the Cenacle and in it Jesus and the Apostles. I saw the institution of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Jesus allowed me to penetrate His interior, and I came to know the greatness of His majesty and, at the same time, His great humbling of Himself. The extraordinary light that allowed me to see His majesty revealed to me, at the same time, what was in my own soul. (757)
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.
Feb 21 - IT IS UP TO YOU TO CHOOSE
In answer to a question by the visionaries about their futures, the Blessed Virgin responded :
I would like all of you to become priest and religious, but only if you desire it. You are free. It is up to you to choose… (First Years December 8, 1981).
Vocations are also the theme from this passage from Matthew's gospel :
When he saw crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, " The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send our laborers into his harvest " (Mt 9 :36-38).
Reflection :
There are two conditions on which vocations to the priesthood and religious life hinge. The first, as Christ tells us today, is prayer. Through prayer an individual discerns the call of God, and through prayer God's people help to plant the seeds of vocations.
Second, the environment and support of a Christian family nourishes these budding vocations. I have a friend from a farming family who was working in a field one day with his father. In the course of their conversation on Ken's future, his father said, "Have you ever thought of the priesthood? "
That's all it took. These seven words contained approval and encouragement for such a career, which is what Ken needed to think seriously about it. Today he is a pastor of a parish in his home state of Iowa. I believe my own vocation was inspired by my parent's example of faith as well as a large measure of God's grace.
I was also blessed to have as role models several fine Benedictine friars from my home parish. Prayer, family, example, and grace; the essentials needed to bring in the workers of the harvest.
Application :
How can you encourage a vocation within your own family? Have you ever broached the subject with a friend or acquaintance who might be a promising candidate? The following Prayer for Vocations is response to Christ's request that we pray for more laborers. Try to pray it often :
"Lord, you told us that, "The harvest is great but the laborers are few. Pray, therefore, that the Lord of the harvest send laborers to his field. " WE ask you to strengthen us as we follow the vocation to which you have called us. We pray particularly for those called to serve as priests. sisters, brothers and deacons : those whom you have called, those you are calling now, those you will call in the future.
Grant them the grace to be open and responsive to your urgent call. We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Amen. the most we can do is open ourselves radically to God-but are pure gifts from the Holy Spirit. Pope Leo XIII wrote, "Whatever we are, that we are by the divine goodness; and this goodness is especially attributed to the Holy Spirit. "
But because our God possesses infinite generosity and love, he will fill with the Spirit any emptiness within us, if it has been emptied for him.
Application :
"Every time we say, `I believe in the Holy Spirit, " writes J.B. Philips, "we mean that we believe there is a living God able and willing to enter human personality and change it. " Today, pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as Our Lady urges us, for she has said, "When you have the Holy Spirit, you have everything. "
Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 22 - THE CHAIR OF PETER
September 25, 1995
"Dear Children! Today I invite you to fall in love with the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Adore Him, little children, in your Parishes and in this way you will be united with the entire world. Jesus will become your friend and you will not talk of Him like someone whom you barely know.
Unity with Him will be a joy for you and you will become witnesses to the love of Jesus that He has for every creature. Little children, when you adore Jesus you are also close to me. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Pope Pius XII writes of the importance of spending time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, "The Divine Redeemer loves to listen to our entreaties, to speak with us familiarly, and to give us a refuge in His Heart which burns with love for us" (Mediator Dei).
Mother Teresa - We need to be someone for the destitute who not only lack a roof over their heads, but who are deprived of having someone who cares, someone to belong to.
Meditations by Padre Pio - I cannot at all believe and therefore dispense you from meditation for the sole reason that you feel you gain nothing from it. The holy gift of prayer, my good daughter, is in the right hand of the Saviour, and to the degree to which you are emptied of yourself, that is, emptied of love of body and your own will, and that you continually become more well-rooted in holy humility, the Lord will communicate this to your heart.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The difference between the penitent and proud
Take the other case of those who suffer unjustly but with faith and love of God in their hearts. They may have a sadness in their hearts from pain and torture, but never remorse. They end in penitence or a making up for guilt by bearing patiently the trials of others.
This is illustrated in the case of Judas and Peter. There is much similarity between the two, up to a point. Our Lord warned both of them that they would fail; He even told them that each would be a devil."
St. Faustina's diary
A light from the morning meditation: Whatever You do with me, Jesus, I will always love You, for I am Yours. Little matter whether You leave me here or put me somewhere else; I am always Yours.
It is with love that I abandon myself to Your most wise decrees, O God, and Your will, O Lord, is my daily nourishment. You, who know the beatings of my heart, know that it beats for You alone, my Jesus. Nothing can quench my longing for You. I am dying for You, Jesus. When will You take me into Your dwelling place [cf. John. 14:1-3]? (1145)
As long as we live, the love of God grows in us. Until we die, we ought to strive for the love of God. I have learned and experienced that souls living in love are distinguished in this: that they are greatly enlightened concerning the things of God, both in their own souls and in the souls of others. And simple souls, without an education, are outstanding for their knowledge. (1191)
Today, I have heard these words: My daughter, delight of My Heart, it is with pleasure that I look into your soul. I bestow many graces only because of you. I also withhold My punishments only because of you. You restrain Me, and I cannot vindicate the claims of My justice. You bind My hands with your love. (1193)
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.
Feb 22 - THE CHAIR OF PETER
In the first weeks of the apparitions, the Blessed Virgin kissed an image of the Pope and said :
"He is your father, the spiritual father of all. It is necessary to pray for him. " (First Years November 8,1981)
And in March of 1982, smiling at two large pictures of the Pope that had been brought by a woman from Osijek, Our Lady said : "He is your father, my angels. " (First Years March 2, 1982) In Matthew's gospel, Jesus responds to Peter's faith in these words :
And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, an the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven (Mt 16 :18-19)
Reflection :
On the cross, Jesus gave us his mother to be our own. In a like manner, in today's message, Mary in turn points to the Holy Father and gives him to us as "the spiritual father of all. " The Chair of Peter is a gift from God who never leaves us without a shepherd to guide and teach us. It has been the charge of the Popes through the ages to hand down the body of faith which Christ gave to his apostles and followers, to preserve it in its integrity for future generations.
Through the calm and turbulence of 2000 years, that legacy of faith has now come down to us and to the present Pope, who in turn will teach and preserve it. No other institution of any kind has so survived the ages, a sign of the Spirit's presence with the church , once called "Mother " to signify its mission of nourishing God's children.
As Christians and Catholics, we give thanks today for this priceless legacy and for the successor of Peter who is "father of all. "
Application :
Our Lady says of the Pope in her message, "He is your father…it is necessary to pray for him. " Let us then offer a rosary for the Holy Father today, and remember him in prayer for the rest of the week. Today, simply speak to the Lord with your heart.
Holy Spirit
"I adore Thee, Jesus, in the Blessed Sacrament, and with all my heart I wish to make myself a fitting temple for Thee. Come to me, O loving Jesus" (St. Thomas Aquinas).
St. Joan of Arc, patroness of soldiers and her country France, fought valiantly to defend her Faith and her country. Joan drew her courage from the Eucharist. Fr. Stephano Manelli writes, 'Christ in the Eucharist is the true Bread to make them [us] strong ... the nourishment to make men heroic, to sustain martyrs, and to bring strength and peace." (From our May 2002 "Could You Not Watch One Hour With Me?" newsletter. The entire text may be viewed at the Newsletters section of our website at www.ACFP2000.com).
Mother Teresa - People who are unloved and unwanted are, just like us, children of God. Even more, they are Christ in our midst and they belong to us. They are our brothers and sisters. God loves people and provides for them. They are more important to Him than the lilies of the field and the sparrows.
Meditations by Padre Pio - In order to imitate Jesus, we must reflect each day on the life of the One we intend to take as our model. From our reflections is born esteem for His acts and from esteem springs the desire and consolation of imitation.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The test of time will measure true enthusiasm and zeal
"Decisions and resolutions taken during an enthusiastic moment mean little unless tested by time and by waiting. At the beginning of the public life of Our Lord, when many wished to follow Him, He refused to accept them: 'He knew what was in man.'
The immediate request for places on the right and left side of the kingdom by James and John He ordered tested by the ability to bear sacrifice and to drink the cup of His Passion and Crucifixion."
St. Faustina's diary
Jesus, living Host, You are my Mother, You are my all! It is with simplicity and love, with faith and trust that I will always come to You, O Jesus! I will share everything with You, as a child with its loving mother, my joys and sorrows-in a word, everything....(230)
Holy Hour. During this hour of adoration, I saw the abyss of my misery; whatever there is of good in me is Yours, O Lord. But because I am so small and wretched, I have a right to count on Your boundless mercy....(237)
Jesus, I trust in You; I trust in the ocean of your mercy. You are a Mother to me....(249)
I feel certain that my mission will not come to an end upon my death, but will begin. O doubting souls, I will draw aside for you the veils of heaven to convince you of God's goodness, so that you will no longer continue to wound with your distrust the sweetest Heart of Jesus. God is Love and Mercy. (281)
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.
Feb 20 - OPEN YOURSELVES TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
Regarding the Holy Spirit, Our Lady once said :
Dear children, this is a time of grace. Open yourselves to the Holy Spirit that he may make you strong. Your Mother, dear children, calls you especially to prayer and sacrifice during this time (Visionary Prayer Group June 1, 1990).
In Galatians, Paul speaks of the fruits of the Holy Spirit :
By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit (Gal 5 :22-25).
Reflection :
Isaac Hecker, the founder of the Paulists, once wrote : "The whole future of the human race depends on bringing the individual soul more completely and perfectly under the sway of the Holy Spirit." This Spirit is always at work within us, gently transforming us into the likeness of Christ and imbuing us with the gifts of peace, kindness, faithfulness, and the other virtues of which Paul speaks today.
These traits are not the reward of our own spiritual achievements-the most we can do is open ourselves radically to God-but are pure gifts from the Holy Spirit. Pope Leo XIII wrote, "Whatever we are, that we are by the divine goodness; and this goodness is especially attributed to the Holy Spirit." But because our God possesses infinite generosity and love, he will fill with the Spirit any emptiness within us, if it has been emptied for him.
Application :
"Every time we say, `I believe in the Holy Spirit," writes J.B. Philips, "we mean that we believe there is a living God able and willing to enter human personality and change it." Today, pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as Our Lady urges us, for she has said, "When you have the Holy Spirit, you have everything."
12th & 13th station to Patsy Soto Feb.19,2009
On Thu, 19 Feb 2009 05:53:12 EST
…the 12th and 13th Station meditations. They continue to reveal so much of God's love for us. Definitely approved to share these meditations.
On Jesus' greatest suffering being, as He says here, seeing the suffering of His Mother. There is nothing here against Catholic teaching. In fact, I find it a great testimony from Jesus Himself that His Mother was indeed Coredemptrix. He is our Redeemer, but His Mother's role in her ministry in the Church is Advocate, Mediatrix, and Co-Remptrix, not equal to Jesus but cooperating with Him in a way far superior to any other human being.
Peace, Fr Al Winshman SJ
Meditation from Jesus to Patsy Soto February 19, 2009 12:15 am The Twelfth Station: Jesus Dies on the Cross
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
Thank you My beloved little one for opening your heart to Me your Jesus of Mercy. Whenever any of My children call out to Me I open the gates of My heart, I place My rays of20life upon them showering them with My Grace, My Mercy.
The answer to your prayers may not be the answer you are looking for but it is My Perfect Will given to you. This night I speak to you of the ultimate sacrifice of My Love, My Death in this world but Eternal Life for each of you,
My children, who are accepting of My Holy Will. For I so willingly, so lovingly lead you to eternal life, with Me, through Me, For Me. It was My Life, offered to the Father, so that each child brought into this world would have the choice for Eternal Life.
It is now time for My life in this world to be given to the Father Almighty, one of My many sacrifices offered to the Father for you My children, yet the greatest sacrifice offered to the Father with love for all off humanity, My Death upon the cross atop the hill of Golgotha. I have no strength, my body totally dehydrated yearns for water. Looking at the soldier below me, I say to him “I thirst." But instead of water, the soldier takes a sponge dips it into a bowl, then reaches up and the sponge with this bitter vinegar hits my lips, I refuse it.
I turn away and I see My Holy Mother's face, her eyes say it all, the love she has given me since the moment she was told by the Angel Gabriel that she was with child, her love never faltered, her sacrifice unimaginable, her total surrender, her total love offered to the Father. I know that her heart=2 0broken, must now give the ultimate gift of love to the Father, her son’s death. I cry out to My Father, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?."
I look up giving my complete surrender to the will of My Father, I say to Him, "It is finished; Father into Thy hands I commend my spirit". Oh My children can you surrender totally to the Father?
A total surrender of your will offered to the Father Almighty for your children's souls, for your soul, for Eternal Life with the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit! Change your hearts, return to prayer, to sacrifice, to the Holy Sacraments. I love you My children, your Jesus of Mercy, your Jesus Crucified
February 19, 2009 - 1:47 a.m. The Thirteenth Station: Jesus is Taken Down From the Cross
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations
It is over My children, standing before Pilate, betrayed, punished, the soldiers taking me to be scourged, beaten, condemned, a crown of thorns, Simon helps to carry My Cross, the long road of the Via Dolorsa, My Mother's eyes, pained with an insurmountable suffering, bearing her son’s crucifixion.
It is done, it is over. My Holy Mother never left Me . She still at the foot of My Cross, as Joseph of Arimathea, My beloved John and other men, so carefully remove My lifeless, bloodied body, placing Me in My Holy Mother's arms. She holds me so closely, her veil covering my bloody, crowned head, she removes her veil and covers My body. She gently removes the crown of thorns, and begins to wipe my face.
She still begs forgiveness of the Father for all that was done to her son. I was tortured and crucified but that wasn’t my greatest agony, no, My children, it was seeing My Holy Mother’s suffering throughout this day of My Crucifixion, that caused me the greatest pain. We have given you the ultimate gift of Our Love. It is your decision what you do with our love. Your Jesus of Mercy
Message to Carol Ameche Feb.15, 2009
External locution through Carol at Ameche Prayer Group, 2/15/2009
My very dear children, I am your God and Father, your Creator and your Lord. You bring joy to all of Heaven in this gathering, uniting yourselves to everyone in the world who prays; and I speak to all of you of My love for you, of your place in My plan for the salvation of souls in the whole world, especially those who are enemies of My Church, enemies of My creation.
All of My dear ones, everywhere in the world, thank you, thank you, thank you! My dear children, thank you for loving Me. I must say this again. You fulfill My plans to drive evil out of the world, out of the hearts of all men, My plans to give the gift of salvation to everyone who will receive it, My plans for your healing, for your joy, for your great mission to My people who will come to you. You wait so eagerly, yet patiently for the gifts that will heal so many, that will reunite families, that will convince so many of all of the messages given everywhere in the world these past many years.
My children, I love you. I pour out every grace and healing you need this very moment. Again, I give you new trust, for you will need more trust in the very near future. You will need more trust in spite of the evidence with which you are presented, in spite of the fear that will visit you at first, but then be overcome by My power and the gifts I have given you to prepare you.
You are My faithful ones. You are My dearest children. Thank you for gathering to reflect upon words that I have given to this precious child of Mine for all of you, My precious children. I give you the gift of openness again this day to the words of Our Spirit, to the new place you occupy in My plan for the world, for all of those sad and lost, abused, wretchedly poor; aborted children and their mothers, those who are enemies of unity, those who would seek to destroy your freedom, your peace.
Do not fear, My children. You know that all is well. You know that you are surrounded by Angels who guard you, who will lead you.
Thank you. Thank you for your obedience, for loving Me in the Trinity and the Holy Mother, your precious Mother. Joyfully remind people that She is the Mother of all people whether they know her or not, whether they accept her or not. You await the great gift of Illumination.
Pay attention to every word that is given about this great gift for, as time goes by, I enlighten you more about My plans and the gifts that await you. Once again be filled with the peace of My Son. I love you. You are Mine. Amen. Amen." Carol Ameche

EGYPT (ORIGINALLY KEMET)
Kemet (Egypt) frequently called herself the lack land, Kemet, during her Old Kingdom period (about 2600 B.C.). But racists European scholars say it suggested only the rich Nile mud.
The Sumerians had earlier called the entire continent of Meluha (Africa), the land of the Black man. And during the 3rd century before Christ, a bordering nation, Ethiopia, was called Blackland, in one of the languages of the time (The Greeks called it the land of burnt faces).
To Kemetian (Egyptian) and Ethiopian sailors and farmers, the Nile River meant life or death. Called Gihon, see (Gen. 2:13), and the Sihor (Isaiah 23) in the Bible, this world’s longest river flows well beyond Cush—one of Ethiopian territories old names.
The Nile runs north from its remotest headstream, the Luvironza, in Burundi. Central Africa. It drains uplands from where the longest of its headwaters lay, the Kagera in what was formerly known as Northern Tanganyika; land southwest of Kenya, and land northwest of the Congo basin, into Lake Victoria.
Flowing through the lake, part of the Nile continues to Tanzania into Uganda, then Sudan. There it branches to its major tributaries, the Ghazal, and the Sobat before joining the White Nile and Blue Nile (Bahr el Az raq in Arabic) at Khartoum Sudan.
The Kemetians (Egyptians) sailed he river. And then as now, as goes trade routes, so does ides, including the faith.
The fiction of Kings Solomon’s Mines literature notwithstanding, the olds well knew the Nile and her source. It was the Europeans thousands of years later, who didn’t. Herodotus (historian of 500s B.C.) spoke of an abysmal bottomless lake.
Aristotle mentioned a silver mountain nearby (the Ruwenzori mountain range). Ptolemy drew a map. The men are not important here, only what they knew.
According to Western reckoning high Kemetian (Egyptian) culture flourished in the Middle Kingdom (2000-1700 B.C.) --Black scholars claim much earlier—producing classic literature and conquests.
The Kemetian 12th Dynasty invaded and conquered Syria and Palestine, ruling the area 200 years (Recall the definition of Black and what conquering armies do). Conquerors and the conquered true to the rule, exchanged customs and bloodlines. (Review the Kenites, in Jewish Encyclopedias).
Elsewhere in the East on a collision course, the Semitic Amorites from Arabia were repeatedly raiding Mesopotamia, Syria, and Palestine. (Curiously, eons earlier, Africa and Arabia were once a joined land mass).
Then came the Patriarchal Age of covenant with God in Habiru history. It was the time of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and his sons.
In the Old Kingdom, Kemet (Egypt) had extended a trading station to Kerma, beyond the Nile’s third cataract (rapids or waterfalls), and 150 miles south of Semna.
By 1970 B.C. this upper region going south down the Nile was called Cush (Kush). Kemetian hieroglyphics (writing) described it as land of the Nubian. It was later to be called Nubia.
Middle Dynasty and Middle Kingdom scribes (writers) first restricted use of the word Cush to land between the second and fourth cataracts of the Nile. Lower Cush-Nubia between the first two cataracts was once known as Wa-Wae.
Kerma by 1900 B.C. was a garrisoned post, showing Kemetian and distinctly black central and West African cultural forms. Cush-Nubia soon became the entire region south of Kemet (Egypt), incorporating part of what is now Sudan, an area corresponding to that which the Greeks later called Ethiopia.
Cushites were called Neshesi, or Neshasyu, darker-skinned Southerners or Nubians. The name originally was used to distinguish these riverside people from the desert Nubian tribesmen, the Madjoi, Medjayu, or Medjayo.
The Madjoi formed the backbone of the Kemetian (Egyptian) Army, the desert police, or militia. (Remember this, when we get to Caesar’s Legion of Africans, and note the connection).
The Greek historian Diodorus Siculus found the majority of Ethiopians-Cushite-Nubians living along the Nile black-skinned, flat nosed, and wooly-haired.
YUSEF (JOSEPH) IN AFRICA
During the Second Intermediate Kemetian New Kingdom Period, roughly 1570 B.C.-1200 B.C. Yusef, son of Yacob emigrated to Kemet with his tribe into Kemet (Egypt) because of famine. Some put the year as earlier as about 1630 B.C..
The emigration brought the Habiru into their first real contact with Kemetians and Africans (But see the above, where 12th Dynasty had invaded Palestine).
For Egyptians, it was the time of change. Yusef’s arrival coincided with the final Kemetian conquests of the Hyksos invaders. That conquering tribe had begun around 1720 B.C.
During the Hysksos occupation, the Neshesi Nubians took their independence from Egypt at Dongola Reach. The area is now a Northern sub-district province in Sudan, about 47 miles above the 3rd cataract. The Nubians then established trade with the Hyksos as equals and allies.
The Kemetians (Egyptians) soon revolted. From Thebes, called Niwt Amun of City of Amun, an area over which the Hyksos had little control, Black Nubian Kings of the 17th Dynasty sent men and materials to help the Kemetians.
The Kemetians engaged their racial kinsmen to oust the Hyksos invaders. They won many victories, finally freeing, then uniting the area.
After ruling 200 years, the Hyksos were expelled, this around 1550 B.C.. Later Nubian Napatan-Ethiopian Pharaohs (1610 B.C. to 715 B.C.) would make Thebes their capital.
Trade Missions
It should always be remembered, as goes trade, so goes new or developed ideas—such as The Way, (what Christianity was originally called).
Kemetians (Egyptians) expanded their trade with the darker skinned Africa. One Pharaoh reportedly received a pigmy as a gift from Punt, a land though to have been on the Somali coast. He left stringent orders so that the little man would arrive safely.
Kemetian Queen Hapsetshut of the 18th Dynasty (15th century) visited Punt, and arranged for the export of myrrh (the spice that was a gift to Mother Maryam by the Magi), gold, ebony, incense, animals, and fruits. The dynasty saw Nubians become a principle force in Egyptian politics. (Remember these points when you see Ethiopian Queen Candace convert to Christianity).
Egyptian trade lanes between Mesopotamia and Africa, via sea routes shipped incense produced from gum resin trees, grown only in South Arabia, Ethiopia, and Somaliland, which borders Ethiopia and Kenya.
The latter part of the New Kingdom period was called by the Akkadians, the Amarna Age of Revolution. But Kemet (Egypt) was decaying.
During the reign of Amenophis III (1402 A.D. to 1364 A.D.), and his successor, Egyptian officials, complaining of Habiru (Hebrew) freebooters, constantly requested Nubian troops when losing the Syrian Palestine area.
The next Pharaoh proved revolutionary. Amenophis IV, called Akhenaton introduced the concept of “There is One God!” (Monotheism) into Kemet at a time, the Habiru still lived there. He changed the priesthood, making many enemies.

"I love you with all My heart"
Saturday, February 21, 2009
Dear Friends,
"Behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, 'Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.
She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.' All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 'Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,' which means 'God is with us.'" Matthew 1:20-23
I present you now with a message from Our Blessed Mother addressed to Joseph. She spoke to him these words, "I bless you all, My children, for you are all very dear to Me. Our Heavenly Father chose Me to be the Mother of Jesus, the Savior of you all.
He came to suffer and to die on the cross for each one of you to redeem you from your sins and to make you the beloved of the Father. Before His death on the cross, He gave Me to you as your Mother. My role is to help you to come to My Son Jesus and to follow Him.
You see, My sons and daughters, that many people are suffering today because of the economic crisis that has taken hold of the world. Many people are out of work and many more have lost their homes and have little to eat. Unfortunately this crisis will get worst as time goes on.
You can bring a great change to all that, if you would leave the path of sin and return to your loving Savior who waits for you. Reform your life and call upon Him to help you. Repent of all your sins and become an active member of His church.
I will continue to pray for you that Jesus, My Son, may grant you a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit to strengthen you and to give you an increase of faith, hope and love. Make Jesus your friend and have a deep personal friendship with Him. No one else has the power to help you but Jesus, Your Savior.
He said, 'Ask and you shall receive.' So come to Him with great faith and love and ask Him for your needs and He will help you for He loves you. Do not delay, My children, but do it today. I love you, each one of you, with all My heart."

"Look at Me today on the cross" Friday, February 20, 2009
Dear Friends,
The Sentence of Death
"Now on the occasion of the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner whom they wished. And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
So when they had assembled, Pilate said to them, 'Which one do you want me to release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus called Messiah?' For he knew that it was out of envy that they had handed him over. While he was still seated on the bench, his wife sent him a message, 'Have nothing to do with that righteous man. I suffered much in a dream today because of him.'
The chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas but to destroy Jesus. The governor said to them in reply, 'Which of the two do you want me to release to you?' They answered, 'Barabbas!' Pilate said to them, 'Then what shall I do with Jesus called Messiah?' They all said, 'Let him be crucified!'
But he said, 'Why? What evil has he done?' They only shouted the louder, 'Let him be crucified!' ... Then he released Barabbas to them, but after he had Jesus scourged, he handed him over to be crucified." Matthew 27:15-23, 26
I am sending you another message from Our Lord given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "When I was brought before Pontius Pilate, the governor, he tried to have me released by the people. He asked them to choose between Me and Barabbas. Barabbas was a well known criminal and a murderer.
The people, influenced by the chief priests and the elders, began to shout to release Barabbas. Then Pilate asked them what he should do with Me, called the Messiah. They all shouted, 'Let him be crucified!' After washing his hands, Pilate had Me scourged and then handed me over to be crucified.
This trial was indeed a mockery especially as I had not done any wrong. Pilate went along with them because he was afraid. The soldiers took Me and scourged Me terribly. I was tied to a pillar and they beat me with whips that had metal pieces at the end of them.
These entered my skin and took out huge junks of My flesh. They beat Me relentlessly until I was bleeding all over My body. At the end I was lying on the floor with no more strength to stand.
See, My people, what I have suffered for you. I gave My life for you in horrible pain to pay the price for your sins. Look at Me today on the cross and repent of all your sins."
Father Melvin
Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 21 - IT IS UP TO YOU TO CHOOSE
St. Peter Damian, Bishop and Cardinal (Italy) 1007-1072, Feast, February 21 He wrote, "Your heart should beat with confidence in God's love." "Christ cannot be accused of forgetfulness: Christ does not enjoin things contrary to His commands. He is the Bread that came down from heaven, which is daily brought to the table of the Church, as a heavenly food, which is broken for the forgiveness of sins, which feeds and nourishes unto life everlasting them that eat the same."
(From our February 2003 newsletter. The entire text may be viewed at the Newsletters section website at www.ACFP2000.com)
At the Visitation [Our Lady] was greeted by St. Elizabeth who recognized the presence of Jesus veiled in His first tabernacle. Is it any wonder that Mary said: 'For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name' (Lk 1:49)? The Lord Himself has come to us. He is here! (Excerpts from the book Bread of Life)
Mother Teresa -
We need to be someone for the naked who not only lack clothing but mercy.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Be patient in persevering in this holy exercize of meditation and be content with taking small steps, until you have the legs to run, or better still, wings to fly. Be content with obedience which is never an easy matter for a soul which has chosen God as its portion, and resign yourself for now, to being a little bee in a hive, that will soon become a big bee capable of making honey.
Always humble yourself lovingly before God and men, because God speaks to those who truly have a humble heart before Him, and He enriches it with His gifts.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Burnout comes fast for those who are not sincere
"When, after multiplying the bread, the multitude wished to make Christ a bread king, Our Lord fled into the mountains alone. Economic kingships last only while the bread is plentiful and the circuses are in the playgrounds. It is always a good policy never to choose the most enthusiastic person in a gathering as a leader. Wait to see how much wood there is for the flame."
St. Faustina's diary
I will enclose myself in the chalice of Jesus so that I may comfort Him continually. I will do everything within my power to save souls, and I will do it through prayer and suffering.
I try always to be a Bethany for Jesus, so that He may rest here after all His labors. In Holy Communion, my union with Jesus is so intimate and incomprehensible that even if I wanted to describe it in writing I could not do so, because I lack the words. (735)
During Mass today, I saw the Lord Jesus, who said to me, Be at peace, My daughter; I see your efforts, which are very pleasing to Me. And the Lord disappeared, and it was time for Holy Communion. After I received Holy Communion, I suddenly saw the Cenacle and in it Jesus and the Apostles. I saw the institution of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Jesus allowed me to penetrate His interior, and I came to know the greatness of His majesty and, at the same time, His great humbling of Himself. The extraordinary light that allowed me to see His majesty revealed to me, at the same time, what was in my own soul. (757)
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.
Feb 21 - IT IS UP TO YOU TO CHOOSE
In answer to a question by the visionaries about their futures, the Blessed Virgin responded :
I would like all of you to become priest and religious, but only if you desire it. You are free. It is up to you to choose… (First Years December 8, 1981).
Vocations are also the theme from this passage from Matthew's gospel :
When he saw crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, " The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send our laborers into his harvest " (Mt 9 :36-38).
Reflection :
There are two conditions on which vocations to the priesthood and religious life hinge. The first, as Christ tells us today, is prayer. Through prayer an individual discerns the call of God, and through prayer God's people help to plant the seeds of vocations.
Second, the environment and support of a Christian family nourishes these budding vocations. I have a friend from a farming family who was working in a field one day with his father. In the course of their conversation on Ken's future, his father said, "Have you ever thought of the priesthood? "
That's all it took. These seven words contained approval and encouragement for such a career, which is what Ken needed to think seriously about it. Today he is a pastor of a parish in his home state of Iowa. I believe my own vocation was inspired by my parent's example of faith as well as a large measure of God's grace.
I was also blessed to have as role models several fine Benedictine friars from my home parish. Prayer, family, example, and grace; the essentials needed to bring in the workers of the harvest.
Application :
How can you encourage a vocation within your own family? Have you ever broached the subject with a friend or acquaintance who might be a promising candidate? The following Prayer for Vocations is response to Christ's request that we pray for more laborers. Try to pray it often :
"Lord, you told us that, "The harvest is great but the laborers are few. Pray, therefore, that the Lord of the harvest send laborers to his field. " WE ask you to strengthen us as we follow the vocation to which you have called us. We pray particularly for those called to serve as priests. sisters, brothers and deacons : those whom you have called, those you are calling now, those you will call in the future.
Grant them the grace to be open and responsive to your urgent call. We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Amen. the most we can do is open ourselves radically to God-but are pure gifts from the Holy Spirit. Pope Leo XIII wrote, "Whatever we are, that we are by the divine goodness; and this goodness is especially attributed to the Holy Spirit. "
But because our God possesses infinite generosity and love, he will fill with the Spirit any emptiness within us, if it has been emptied for him.
Application :
"Every time we say, `I believe in the Holy Spirit, " writes J.B. Philips, "we mean that we believe there is a living God able and willing to enter human personality and change it. " Today, pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as Our Lady urges us, for she has said, "When you have the Holy Spirit, you have everything. "
Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 22 - THE CHAIR OF PETER
September 25, 1995
"Dear Children! Today I invite you to fall in love with the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Adore Him, little children, in your Parishes and in this way you will be united with the entire world. Jesus will become your friend and you will not talk of Him like someone whom you barely know.
Unity with Him will be a joy for you and you will become witnesses to the love of Jesus that He has for every creature. Little children, when you adore Jesus you are also close to me. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Pope Pius XII writes of the importance of spending time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, "The Divine Redeemer loves to listen to our entreaties, to speak with us familiarly, and to give us a refuge in His Heart which burns with love for us" (Mediator Dei).
Mother Teresa - We need to be someone for the destitute who not only lack a roof over their heads, but who are deprived of having someone who cares, someone to belong to.
Meditations by Padre Pio - I cannot at all believe and therefore dispense you from meditation for the sole reason that you feel you gain nothing from it. The holy gift of prayer, my good daughter, is in the right hand of the Saviour, and to the degree to which you are emptied of yourself, that is, emptied of love of body and your own will, and that you continually become more well-rooted in holy humility, the Lord will communicate this to your heart.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The difference between the penitent and proud
Take the other case of those who suffer unjustly but with faith and love of God in their hearts. They may have a sadness in their hearts from pain and torture, but never remorse. They end in penitence or a making up for guilt by bearing patiently the trials of others.
This is illustrated in the case of Judas and Peter. There is much similarity between the two, up to a point. Our Lord warned both of them that they would fail; He even told them that each would be a devil."
St. Faustina's diary
A light from the morning meditation: Whatever You do with me, Jesus, I will always love You, for I am Yours. Little matter whether You leave me here or put me somewhere else; I am always Yours.
It is with love that I abandon myself to Your most wise decrees, O God, and Your will, O Lord, is my daily nourishment. You, who know the beatings of my heart, know that it beats for You alone, my Jesus. Nothing can quench my longing for You. I am dying for You, Jesus. When will You take me into Your dwelling place [cf. John. 14:1-3]? (1145)
As long as we live, the love of God grows in us. Until we die, we ought to strive for the love of God. I have learned and experienced that souls living in love are distinguished in this: that they are greatly enlightened concerning the things of God, both in their own souls and in the souls of others. And simple souls, without an education, are outstanding for their knowledge. (1191)
Today, I have heard these words: My daughter, delight of My Heart, it is with pleasure that I look into your soul. I bestow many graces only because of you. I also withhold My punishments only because of you. You restrain Me, and I cannot vindicate the claims of My justice. You bind My hands with your love. (1193)

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.
Feb 22 - THE CHAIR OF PETER
In the first weeks of the apparitions, the Blessed Virgin kissed an image of the Pope and said :
"He is your father, the spiritual father of all. It is necessary to pray for him. " (First Years November 8,1981)
And in March of 1982, smiling at two large pictures of the Pope that had been brought by a woman from Osijek, Our Lady said : "He is your father, my angels. " (First Years March 2, 1982) In Matthew's gospel, Jesus responds to Peter's faith in these words :
And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, an the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven (Mt 16 :18-19)
Reflection :
On the cross, Jesus gave us his mother to be our own. In a like manner, in today's message, Mary in turn points to the Holy Father and gives him to us as "the spiritual father of all. " The Chair of Peter is a gift from God who never leaves us without a shepherd to guide and teach us. It has been the charge of the Popes through the ages to hand down the body of faith which Christ gave to his apostles and followers, to preserve it in its integrity for future generations.
Through the calm and turbulence of 2000 years, that legacy of faith has now come down to us and to the present Pope, who in turn will teach and preserve it. No other institution of any kind has so survived the ages, a sign of the Spirit's presence with the church , once called "Mother " to signify its mission of nourishing God's children.
As Christians and Catholics, we give thanks today for this priceless legacy and for the successor of Peter who is "father of all. "
Application :
Our Lady says of the Pope in her message, "He is your father…it is necessary to pray for him. " Let us then offer a rosary for the Holy Father today, and remember him in prayer for the rest of the week. Today, simply speak to the Lord with your heart.
Holy Spirit
"I adore Thee, Jesus, in the Blessed Sacrament, and with all my heart I wish to make myself a fitting temple for Thee. Come to me, O loving Jesus" (St. Thomas Aquinas).
St. Joan of Arc, patroness of soldiers and her country France, fought valiantly to defend her Faith and her country. Joan drew her courage from the Eucharist. Fr. Stephano Manelli writes, 'Christ in the Eucharist is the true Bread to make them [us] strong ... the nourishment to make men heroic, to sustain martyrs, and to bring strength and peace." (From our May 2002 "Could You Not Watch One Hour With Me?" newsletter. The entire text may be viewed at the Newsletters section of our website at www.ACFP2000.com).
Mother Teresa - People who are unloved and unwanted are, just like us, children of God. Even more, they are Christ in our midst and they belong to us. They are our brothers and sisters. God loves people and provides for them. They are more important to Him than the lilies of the field and the sparrows.
Meditations by Padre Pio - In order to imitate Jesus, we must reflect each day on the life of the One we intend to take as our model. From our reflections is born esteem for His acts and from esteem springs the desire and consolation of imitation.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The test of time will measure true enthusiasm and zeal
"Decisions and resolutions taken during an enthusiastic moment mean little unless tested by time and by waiting. At the beginning of the public life of Our Lord, when many wished to follow Him, He refused to accept them: 'He knew what was in man.'
The immediate request for places on the right and left side of the kingdom by James and John He ordered tested by the ability to bear sacrifice and to drink the cup of His Passion and Crucifixion."
St. Faustina's diary
Jesus, living Host, You are my Mother, You are my all! It is with simplicity and love, with faith and trust that I will always come to You, O Jesus! I will share everything with You, as a child with its loving mother, my joys and sorrows-in a word, everything....(230)
Holy Hour. During this hour of adoration, I saw the abyss of my misery; whatever there is of good in me is Yours, O Lord. But because I am so small and wretched, I have a right to count on Your boundless mercy....(237)
Jesus, I trust in You; I trust in the ocean of your mercy. You are a Mother to me....(249)
I feel certain that my mission will not come to an end upon my death, but will begin. O doubting souls, I will draw aside for you the veils of heaven to convince you of God's goodness, so that you will no longer continue to wound with your distrust the sweetest Heart of Jesus. God is Love and Mercy. (281)

Feb 20 - OPEN YOURSELVES TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
Regarding the Holy Spirit, Our Lady once said :
Dear children, this is a time of grace. Open yourselves to the Holy Spirit that he may make you strong. Your Mother, dear children, calls you especially to prayer and sacrifice during this time (Visionary Prayer Group June 1, 1990).
In Galatians, Paul speaks of the fruits of the Holy Spirit :
By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit (Gal 5 :22-25).
Reflection :
Isaac Hecker, the founder of the Paulists, once wrote : "The whole future of the human race depends on bringing the individual soul more completely and perfectly under the sway of the Holy Spirit." This Spirit is always at work within us, gently transforming us into the likeness of Christ and imbuing us with the gifts of peace, kindness, faithfulness, and the other virtues of which Paul speaks today.
These traits are not the reward of our own spiritual achievements-the most we can do is open ourselves radically to God-but are pure gifts from the Holy Spirit. Pope Leo XIII wrote, "Whatever we are, that we are by the divine goodness; and this goodness is especially attributed to the Holy Spirit." But because our God possesses infinite generosity and love, he will fill with the Spirit any emptiness within us, if it has been emptied for him.
Application :
"Every time we say, `I believe in the Holy Spirit," writes J.B. Philips, "we mean that we believe there is a living God able and willing to enter human personality and change it." Today, pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as Our Lady urges us, for she has said, "When you have the Holy Spirit, you have everything."
12th & 13th station to Patsy Soto Feb.19,2009
On Thu, 19 Feb 2009 05:53:12 EST
…the 12th and 13th Station meditations. They continue to reveal so much of God's love for us. Definitely approved to share these meditations.
On Jesus' greatest suffering being, as He says here, seeing the suffering of His Mother. There is nothing here against Catholic teaching. In fact, I find it a great testimony from Jesus Himself that His Mother was indeed Coredemptrix. He is our Redeemer, but His Mother's role in her ministry in the Church is Advocate, Mediatrix, and Co-Remptrix, not equal to Jesus but cooperating with Him in a way far superior to any other human being.
Peace, Fr Al Winshman SJ
Meditation from Jesus to Patsy Soto February 19, 2009 12:15 am The Twelfth Station: Jesus Dies on the Cross
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
Thank you My beloved little one for opening your heart to Me your Jesus of Mercy. Whenever any of My children call out to Me I open the gates of My heart, I place My rays of20life upon them showering them with My Grace, My Mercy.
The answer to your prayers may not be the answer you are looking for but it is My Perfect Will given to you. This night I speak to you of the ultimate sacrifice of My Love, My Death in this world but Eternal Life for each of you,
My children, who are accepting of My Holy Will. For I so willingly, so lovingly lead you to eternal life, with Me, through Me, For Me. It was My Life, offered to the Father, so that each child brought into this world would have the choice for Eternal Life.
It is now time for My life in this world to be given to the Father Almighty, one of My many sacrifices offered to the Father for you My children, yet the greatest sacrifice offered to the Father with love for all off humanity, My Death upon the cross atop the hill of Golgotha. I have no strength, my body totally dehydrated yearns for water. Looking at the soldier below me, I say to him “I thirst." But instead of water, the soldier takes a sponge dips it into a bowl, then reaches up and the sponge with this bitter vinegar hits my lips, I refuse it.
I turn away and I see My Holy Mother's face, her eyes say it all, the love she has given me since the moment she was told by the Angel Gabriel that she was with child, her love never faltered, her sacrifice unimaginable, her total surrender, her total love offered to the Father. I know that her heart=2 0broken, must now give the ultimate gift of love to the Father, her son’s death. I cry out to My Father, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?."
I look up giving my complete surrender to the will of My Father, I say to Him, "It is finished; Father into Thy hands I commend my spirit". Oh My children can you surrender totally to the Father?
A total surrender of your will offered to the Father Almighty for your children's souls, for your soul, for Eternal Life with the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit! Change your hearts, return to prayer, to sacrifice, to the Holy Sacraments. I love you My children, your Jesus of Mercy, your Jesus Crucified
February 19, 2009 - 1:47 a.m. The Thirteenth Station: Jesus is Taken Down From the Cross
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations
It is over My children, standing before Pilate, betrayed, punished, the soldiers taking me to be scourged, beaten, condemned, a crown of thorns, Simon helps to carry My Cross, the long road of the Via Dolorsa, My Mother's eyes, pained with an insurmountable suffering, bearing her son’s crucifixion.
It is done, it is over. My Holy Mother never left Me . She still at the foot of My Cross, as Joseph of Arimathea, My beloved John and other men, so carefully remove My lifeless, bloodied body, placing Me in My Holy Mother's arms. She holds me so closely, her veil covering my bloody, crowned head, she removes her veil and covers My body. She gently removes the crown of thorns, and begins to wipe my face.
She still begs forgiveness of the Father for all that was done to her son. I was tortured and crucified but that wasn’t my greatest agony, no, My children, it was seeing My Holy Mother’s suffering throughout this day of My Crucifixion, that caused me the greatest pain. We have given you the ultimate gift of Our Love. It is your decision what you do with our love. Your Jesus of Mercy
Message to Carol Ameche Feb.15, 2009
External locution through Carol at Ameche Prayer Group, 2/15/2009
My very dear children, I am your God and Father, your Creator and your Lord. You bring joy to all of Heaven in this gathering, uniting yourselves to everyone in the world who prays; and I speak to all of you of My love for you, of your place in My plan for the salvation of souls in the whole world, especially those who are enemies of My Church, enemies of My creation.
All of My dear ones, everywhere in the world, thank you, thank you, thank you! My dear children, thank you for loving Me. I must say this again. You fulfill My plans to drive evil out of the world, out of the hearts of all men, My plans to give the gift of salvation to everyone who will receive it, My plans for your healing, for your joy, for your great mission to My people who will come to you. You wait so eagerly, yet patiently for the gifts that will heal so many, that will reunite families, that will convince so many of all of the messages given everywhere in the world these past many years.
My children, I love you. I pour out every grace and healing you need this very moment. Again, I give you new trust, for you will need more trust in the very near future. You will need more trust in spite of the evidence with which you are presented, in spite of the fear that will visit you at first, but then be overcome by My power and the gifts I have given you to prepare you.
You are My faithful ones. You are My dearest children. Thank you for gathering to reflect upon words that I have given to this precious child of Mine for all of you, My precious children. I give you the gift of openness again this day to the words of Our Spirit, to the new place you occupy in My plan for the world, for all of those sad and lost, abused, wretchedly poor; aborted children and their mothers, those who are enemies of unity, those who would seek to destroy your freedom, your peace.
Do not fear, My children. You know that all is well. You know that you are surrounded by Angels who guard you, who will lead you.
Thank you. Thank you for your obedience, for loving Me in the Trinity and the Holy Mother, your precious Mother. Joyfully remind people that She is the Mother of all people whether they know her or not, whether they accept her or not. You await the great gift of Illumination.
Pay attention to every word that is given about this great gift for, as time goes by, I enlighten you more about My plans and the gifts that await you. Once again be filled with the peace of My Son. I love you. You are Mine. Amen. Amen." Carol Ameche
