Love Jesus! Jesus is not an idea, a feeling, a memory! Jesus is a person, always alive and present with us!?Love Jesus present in the Eucharist" (Pope John Paul II, November 8, 1978).
Mother Teresa Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
I therefore exhort you again to be trustful. A soul who trust in her Lord and places all her hope in Him has nothing to fear. The enemy of our salvation is always around us to snatch from our hearts the anchor that is to lead us to salvation, by which I mean trust in God our Father. Let us keep a very firm hold on this anchor and not relinquish it for a single moment. Otherwise all would be lost (Letters II p 410).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Belief and expectancy were clouded by the empty tomb
"When Mary Magdalene found the grave empty, the Resurrection did not enter her mind. She ran to some of the disciples, saying, `They've taken the body from the tomb and we don't know where they've put Him' (John 20: 2).
hen she heard the rustling of someone in the bushes, she did not look up - so little was she anticipating seeing the Savior; she assumed that it was a gardener. Belief and expectancy are two factors that are absolutely essential for the production of psychological visions or imaginings, but both were lacking in the case of the disciples and the followers."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian. org/directory_ flash.html
On one occasion the Lord said to me, My daughter, your confidence and love restrain My justice, and I cannot inflict punishment because you hinder Me from doing so. Oh, how great is the power of a soul filled with confidence! (198)
Today, I heard these words: The graces I grant you are not for you alone, but for a great number of other souls as well... And your heart is My constant dwelling place, despite the misery that you are. I unite Myself with you, take away your misery and give you My mercy. I perform works of mercy in every soul. The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy. My mercy is confirmed in every work of My hands. He who trusts in My mercy will not perish, for all his affairs are Mine, and his enemies will be shattered at the base of My footstool. (723)
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.
APRIL 15 - LONG FOR PEACE
The Mother of God calls us to be peacemakers:
"Dear Children, I call you to help others through your spirit of peace, that they may see this in you and begin to long for peace within themselves.
Because you are at peace, dear children, you cannot understand the absence of it. That is why I call you, through your life and your prayer, to help destroy every evil among men, and to unmask Satan's deceptions. Pray, so that truth may prevail in your hearts (Weekly Message September 25, 1986.)
The prophet Micah speaks of the Messiah bringing peace
And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord, In the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they shall live secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth; and he shall be the one of peace. ---Micah 5: 4-5
Reflection:
In her messages at Medjugorje, Our Lady rarely speaks of peace out of context. Rather, she shows us that it is the fruit of faith, conversion and love.
The church, too, when speaking of the broader level of peace among nations, also traces the roots of this peace back to love, which includes generosity, mutual respect, and a spirit of brotherhood. From a teaching of the Second Vatican Council:
Peace cannot be obtained on earth unless personal values are safeguarded and men freely and trustingly share with one another the riches of their inner spirits and their talents.
A grim determination to respect other men and peoples and their dignity, as well as the studied practice of brotherhood, are absolutely necessary for the establishment of peace. Hence peace is likewise the fruit of love, which goes beyond what justice can provide (The Church Today, 78).
Application:
Reflect today on these words of Pope Paul VI on peace: "If we wish to have true peace, we must give it a soul. The soul of peace is love." Message from St. Michael, Good Friday, 4-10-09, 12 noon to O. Ann S. Hoernschemeyer
I, St. Michael, come to you in the Name of Jesus, for this word is very hard and must be presented.
There is no time left; for by this time next week people of God will be going to their shelters. I cannot say a date to you, but you see how close our God is moving for Jesus to come with His sign and the whole world shake as this has been stated before.
Those who have not gotten their hearts in order with God, must do so for their chances will be gone. Our Blessed Mary is saying to me, not a one will be lost. Children of God you must pray for the lost, the sinners, those on the fence and the misfortunate. God Almighty is hearing your prayers and the rewards are many. Do not stop.
The anti-christ is here. Children of God watch everything you do and how you wear your crosses in public. You must be very aware of all around you. Remember, no fear in you. Your Trinity, saints and your Blessed Mary beside you and hears you.
Your Archangel, St. Michael in your midst to protect and keep safe the children of God. Gabriel, Caproni and Raphael are beside me.

The Father God asked if I would receive St. Michael's message now, and a great presence swelled and filled my heart.
Message from St. Michael, The Archangel, 3-31-09, 5:30 p.m. to O. Ann S. Hoernschemeyer
You are truly Our holy one, our Dove of the New Jerusalem. The activities of the land are upon all of God's beloved. I am to stay close to the activities of the groups united in God's Holiness.
There should not be such concern and certainly no fear among you children of God. Your God has everything under control and where each one will be taken, if necessary, for great protection. Your instructions earlier to have a back pack ready with your necessities; if you are a refuge, be ready to greet the ones sent to you, large and small groups and Our Jesus will manifest all that is needed or not completed. This He has already spoken of.
Children of Our God, you must pray, for the falling of the country is very close as leaders are not paying attention to their souls. Do not yourselves be in distress, for warning must be told and preparation in each heart. Many messages coming forth and all together you receive what you personally need to do and how to pray. I, your St. Michael, is at your side and all must trust in Our God Almighty.
St. Michael, your Archangel of the Lord

My child, it is time for the world to be open to miracles. It is time for the world to take heed to My mercy. My child, the time is soon coming when a great change will cause a shifting of the earth and will cause a great divide in your country.
I have been warning My children in love yet they are lukewarm to the truth. They are lukewarm to their mission, their purpose on this earth. My children do not become indifferent to the truth for your time on this earth is not to self serve.
Do you seek to speak of your neighbor in love as to show them mercy, to bring them closer to Me or do you seek to judge in a way that carries them further away from the light of My love. I desire you to love My children, and love begins in the womb.
Parents must love their children and model My Most Holy Family. There are too many parents who discipline in authority and not in love. It will be your example of love that will begin to heal and bring your children closer to Me. The battle lies in the womb for the core of the family is being destroyed.
Many believe that there is no accountability; they believe they are the dictator of their own destination. This world is soon to awaken to the truth for the darkness of sin is culminating the hearts and souls of My people. It has culminated the womb, My creation, My purpose, My plan.
I shall come and remove the weeds that have taken over the wheat for as I have told you, this world will not be as you have come to know it. The tide of change has come for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.

Jesus Warns Us Of Great Disasters To Come!
Today I spent an hour in adoration with Jesus and prayed for all with special needs and intentions. I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and knelt in silent commune with Jesus. After making an Act of Contrition, I prayed saying: Speak Lord (if it be His will), Your servant listens.
Note: Soon I began to see a muddied earth. It was cracking, shifting and moving, unstable to walk upon.
Then Jesus spoke saying: My child Eileen, the earth as you now know it is rapidly changing, even as I speak.
There will be a multitude of earthquakes, flooding and other instabilities that My creatures have yet to witness.
When I walked on water it was for all mankind, that they would know All things are possible for those who place their trust in Me.
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

Today I spent an hour in adoration with Jesus and prayed for all with special needs and intentions. I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and knelt in silent commune with Jesus. After making an Act of Contrition, I prayed saying: Speak Lord (if it be His will), Your servant listens.
Note: Soon I began to see a muddied earth. It was cracking, shifting and moving, unstable to walk upon.
Then Jesus spoke saying: My child Eileen, the earth as you now know it is rapidly changing, even as I speak.
There will be a multitude of earthquakes, flooding and other instabilities that My creatures have yet to witness.
When I walked on water it was for all mankind, that they would know All things are possible for those who place their trust in Me.
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH
"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."
Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.
Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails). Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

APRIL 17 - RECEIVE THE SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION
"Saint Joseph adored our Lord in a spirit of compassion. By faith he saw and joined the self-immolation of Christ on Calvary and on the altar.
To perfect his love Jesus gave him a preview of the Passion, for a love that does not suffer is a childlike love. You will never equal Joseph in compassionate love, but unite with him in adoring the Sacred Victim on the altar; let your faith be food and light for your adoration. Have faith and you will see, for faith is the eye of a pure soul." (St. Peter Julian Eymard)
Mother Teresa Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Be careful never to become discouraged when you see yourself surrounded by spiritual infirmities. If God lets you fall into some weakness, it is not to abandon you, but only to establish in you humility and make you more careful in the future (ASN, 42).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Even the greatest skeptics cannot dismiss the Resurrection
"A few years ago Frank Morison, a skeptic like the Apostles, decided to write a kind of detective story on who stole the body, and thus gave rise to the `myth' of the Resurrection. His original venture, as he put it in his work Who Moved the Stone, never came to port, but foundered on the rocks, and landed him on an `unexpected shore' - the belief in the Resurrection."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - On the initial day of the retreat, I was visited by one of the sisters who had come to make her perpetual vows. She confided to me that she had no trust in God and became discouraged at every little thing.
I answered her, "It is well that you have told me this, Sister; I will pray for you." And I spoke a few words to her about how much distrust hurts the Lord Jesus, especially distrust on the part of a chosen soul. She told me that, beginning with her perpetual vows, she would practice trust. Now I know that even [some] souls that are chosen and well-advanced in the religious life or the spiritual life do not have the courage to entrust themselves completely to God. And this is so because few souls know the unfathomable mercy of God and His great goodness. (731)
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. APRIL 17 - RECEIVE THE SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION
The Blessed Mother speaks of the sacrament of reconciliation and forgiveness today: I am happy because you have begun to receive the sacrament of reconciliation on a monthly basis. This is good for the whole world. Continue to persevere in prayer. This is the path that leads to my Son (First Years October 1, 1982).
The joy of forgiveness is celebrated in Psalm 32:
Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Happy are those to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit. ---Psalm 32:1-2
Reflection:
Both of our readings celebrate forgiveness today, that love of God which heals and renews our souls. We too are called to forgive one another in imitation of Christ, and this too, takes great love.
Rabbi Leo Beck, a German scholar who took the leadership of German Jews in Hitler's time, testified by his own life to the love and forgiveness of God. He was five times arrested, and finally sent to a concentration camp, where he served on the convicts' committee of management. According to the English educator F. H. Drinkwater, on the very day he was to have been shot, the Russian troops arrived.
Beck could have escaped at once, but stayed behind to argue with the Russians, to persuade them to spare the lives of the German camp guards. The Russians decided that the camp guards should be handed over to the inmates. Beck then argued with the inmates and managed to persuade them not to take vengeance and managed to persuade them not to take the vengeance that they were thirsting for.
Applications:
St. Augustine wrote:
There are many kinds of alms, the giving of which helps us to obtain pardon for our sins; but none is greater than that by which we forgive from our heart a sin that some one has committed against us.
Today, call to mind those who may have sinned against you; prayerfully lift them up to Christ, forgiving them in his name.

Digital TV: The Trojan Horse of the New World Order
"And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If any one worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also shall drink the wine of God's wrath, poured unmixed into the cup of his anger, and he shall be tormented with fire and sulphur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
And the smoke of their torment goes up for ever and ever; and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and itsimage, and whoever receives the mark of its name." Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus." (Cf. Rev 14:9-12)
"Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while.
Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years." (Cf. Rev 20:1-4)
For years, Our Lord has warned us to avoid looking at the Antichrist once he surfaces. He told us that the Antichrist will have demonic powers of influence and persuasion; and that the Antichrist's eyes will have hypnotic power to cause one to worship him and accept the subdermal microchip, the Mark of the Beast (Rev 13). Jesus told us repeatedly to discard all electronic means of hearing or seeing the Antichrist after the Warning (e.g. all television sets, computer monitors and radios).
We discussed this at length in the following writing which we incorporate herein by reference:
Beware of Electronic Surveillance In & Around Your Homes http://groups.yahoo.com/group/era-of-peace/message/381
Countries throughout the world are in the process of mandating (or have mandated) a conversion from analog television to that of digital television (high definition television or HDTV). In an effort to ensure that all Americans convert to digital TV, the US Government is partially subsidizing the conversion costs.
We note that the governments of the world did not subsidize the conversion from horse-drawn buggies to automobiles, nor the conversion from crystal radio sets to sophisticated radios, nor the implementation of the telephone system, nor the conversion from long-playing albums to CDs. Why is the money-hungy government offering a helping hand this time?
The story of the Trojan horse, and the old warning about 'Greeks bearing gifts' comes to mind.
In the following message via John Leary(1), Jesus provides an additional warning. He tells us that the digital television sets have the ability to emit certain silent signals at frequencies that effect, and can control, our minds.
Sounds hard to believe, doesn't it?
Following that is an article from a liberty advocacy web site, citing scientific studies involving such silent signals, related news articles, and more. Excerpts from an additional but unrelated article indicates that companies are experimenting with software that will enable the television set [and others] to identify people in the room in front of it.
"This time is our time." (2).
Our Lord is warning us as He did Lot and His family (Gen. 19). We must obey His warnings, and all will be well.
God bless you and your families,
Ron & Ben
John Leary
March 3, 2009: Jesus said: "My people, you are aware of fiber optic cables coming into your house which has two-way communication. High definition digital cable enables the Cable company to see and hear what is going on by your TV. You have learned of another potential threat to your brain functions when analog broadcast will go over to digital signals.
The broadcast signals could embed a silent sound signal with a similar frequency to your brain waves. This signal could affect your subconscious mind to do things against your will. I told you to remove your TVs and computer monitors out of your house after the Warning to avoid looking at the Antichrist.
This latest technology may be another reason to avoid watching TV for long periods of time. An analog signal would create static when using this silent ELF signal, but a digital signal would not be affected, so you would not know if it was being used or not. Limit your TV watching to a minimum to protect your mental faculties. Call on My protection and heed My warnings."
HDTV: It's Not Just Crisper Images and Richer Sound
THE IDAHO OBSERVER - January 2009 -- I read a story once about how to catch wild hogs. You bait them with food and, once they get comfortable and show up to eat consistently, you build one side of a pen.
The hogs will stay away for a few days but the easy groceries will bring them back again. Then you build the second side of the pen. If you keep that up until the pen is built and the hogs enter through the open gate to eat, all you have to do then is close the gate.
The television broadcast industry was scheduled to change over from analog to digital Feb. 17, 2009. The switch has been delayed indefinitely for reasons that vary depending upon the source and interpretation of source information.
Regardless, we have seen the marketplace expansion of interest in "High Definition (HD) TV" and consumers' appreciation for the new generation of television technology increase dramatically in recent years. To the majority of the TV watching public, the switch to HDTV is just another step in the process of replacing outdated analog systems with digital technology that offers greater image and sound reproduction compatible with modern electronic digital media players.
But better sound and a clearer picture is just the beginning. The evidence shows that HD technology can also be used to remotely gain complete control over the thoughts, emotions and actions of people who will have no power to resist.
The power that could potentially be wielded by those capable of remotely controlling people's thoughts and actions is virtually limitless. An "experiment" of what can happen when large numbers of humans are subjected to remote control was successful in 1990 and witnessed by the whole world when Iraqi troops began surrendering to coalition forces.
Newsweek magazine reported July 30, 1990, that the U.S. military successfully deployed "Silent Sounds" through the FM frequency radio band used by the Iraqi army after Saddam's military communications system had been destroyed by coalition forces. "According to statements made by captured and deserting Iraqi soldiers --- the most devastating and demoralizing programming was the first known military use of the new, high-tech type of subliminal messages referred to as 'ultra-high-frequency silent sounds' or 'silent subliminals,'" Newsweek reported.
Once system-wide conversion to HDTV is made, the silent sounds that neutralized the Iraqi army can be planted into the minds of Americans enjoying the crisper images and richer sounds of digitized TV. Through HDTV, "Big Brother" will be able to order troops to invade the homes of America and begin seizing weapons, food, valuables and maybe even children while our people are absolutely paralyzed for no apparent reason and can do nothing to defend themselves, their families and their homes.
Dr. Delgado
The desire to remotely control animals and people goes back as far as the desire to remotely control machines and for the same reasons. The New York Times reported May 17, 1965, that Dr. Jose Delgado of the Yale University School of Medicine had remotely taken control of a fighting bull with silent sounds during an experiment conducted the previous year in Cordoba, Spain."Afternoon sunlight poured over the high wooden barriers into the [bullfighting] ring, as the brave bull bore down on the unarmed matador, a scientist who had never faced a fighting bull. But the charging animal's horn never reached the man behind the heavy red cape. Moments before that could happen, Dr. Delgado pressed a button on a small radio transmitter in his hand and the bull braked to a halt. Then he pressed another button on the transmitter, and the bull obediently turned to the right and trotted away. The bull was obeying commands in his brain that were being called forth by electrical stimulation by the radio signals to certain regions in which fine wires had been painlessly planted the day before," wrote John A. Osmundsen of The New York Times.
According to Dr. Delgado, experiments of this type had also been performed on humans. While giving a lecture on the Brain in 1965, Dr. Delgado said, "Science has developed a new methodology for the study and control of cerebral function in animals and humans."
In a telling comment to Congress published in the Congressional Record (No. 26, Vol. 118, February 24, 1974), Dr. Delgado, representing the Yale University Medical School, expressed why he felt the development of techniques for remotely controlling animals and humans was so important: "The individual may think that the most important reality is his own existence, but this is only his personal point of view. This lacks historical perspective. Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. This kind of liberal orientation has great appeal. We must electronically control the brain. Someday armies and generals will be controlled by electric stimulation of the brain." [emphasis added] ---
Beyond Dr. Delgado
Since Dr. Delgado's comparatively crude experiments over 30 and 40 years ago, a complete record of the advances being made in the field of remotely controlling other living beings has been published in the scientific literature-and in the U.S. Patent Office.
US PATENT # 4,858,612, issued to Philip Stocklin Dec. 19, 1983, is "For direct transmission of sound into the human auditory cortex [a section of the brain]."
The abstract basically explains that ears are no longer necessary because words can be implanted directly into your brain. This is called "synthetic telepathy."
US Patent #5,159,703 which describes the "Silent Sound Spread Spectrum (SSSS)," was developed for military use by Dr. Oliver Lowery of Norcross, Georgia and granted on Oct. 27, 1992.
SSSS, or "S-Quad," is described in the abstract as, "A silent communications system in which nonaural carriers, in the very low (ELF) or very high audio-frequency (VHF) range or in the adjacent ultrasonic frequency spectrum, are amplitude-or frequency-modulated with the desired intelligence and propagated acoustically or vibrationally, for inducement into the brain, typically through the use of loudspeakers, earphones, or piezoelectric transducers. The modulated carriers may be transmitted directly in real time or may be conveniently recorded and stored on mechanical, magnetic, or optical media for delayed or repeated transmission to the listener."
In layman's terms, this device, this "Sound of Silence" simply allows for the unwarranted implantation of specific thoughts, emotions and even prescribed physical actions into unsuspecting human beings.
Why the switch?
It has recently been decided on a global scale to eliminate the standard analog television broadcasts and convert to digital only. Why? If SSSS was being broadcast through traditional televisions via the analog system, it would show up as static on our stations and, therefore, be detectable. Once SSSS is delivered digitally through HDTV, no one will notice. ---
Further indications that HDTV will be used for ill
Even instincts and emotions can be changed. In another study by Dr. Delgado, a mother giving continuous care to her baby suddenly pushed the infant away whenever the signal was given.
Dr. Ross Adey determined that merely placing a subject in an electromagnetic field could remotely influence emotional states and behavior. Adey and others have compiled an entire library of frequencies and pulsation rates which can affect the mind and nervous system
Dr. Eldon Byrd. From 1980 to 1983, Dr. Eldon Byrd ran the Marine Corps Nonlethal Electromagnetic Weapons project. He conducted most of his research at the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute in Bethesda, Md. During this time, Dr. Byrd stated, "We were looking at electrical activity in the brain and how to influence it. ---"
By using very low frequency electromagnetic radiation-the waves way below radio frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum-Dr. Byrd found he could induce the brain to release behavior-regulating chemicals. "We could put animals into a stupor" by hitting them with these very low frequencies. "We got chick brains-in vitro-to dump 80 percent of the natural opioids in their brains," Dr. Byrd said. ---
Dr. Stephen Aftergood. Director of the Project on Government Secrecy, Dr. Stephen Aftergood with the Federation of American Scientists said during a CNN interview with David Mattingly on the American Edge Show on June 18, 1997, "The idea that electro-magnetic energy can be used against people and not just against other weapons or electronic systems, is current; it is understood that this is an option and it makes the surprising claim that a psychophysical effect on people is possible for the purpose of altering their behavior, and even controlling the social aims of regional or even global societies. The fact is that today the United States is spending as much money on developing psychophysical weapons as on the most complex space programs."
Artificial recreation of natural phenomena
--- We now live in a time where the artificial creation and amplification of the naturally-occurring phenomena of biologically-compromising energy fields has been weaponized.
Weaponized
Dr. Robert J. Bunker of California State University at San Bernardino is an "unconventional war" expert and the editor of the "INSS Occasional Paper," 15 USAF Institute for National Security Studies, USAF Academy, Colorado. In his article, "Electromagnetic, High Power Microwave [HPM] Weapons," Dr. Bunker wrote that HPMs can also cause human unconsciousness without permanent maiming by upsetting the neural pathways in the brain or they can be made lethal.
Evidence that testing of silent sounds is ongoing was noted in an Associated Press article published shortly after Gulf War II began.
SOUTHERN IRAQ Saturday, March 22, 2003
Associated Press-U.S. and British forces streamed in a long line of tanks and armored vehicles toward Basra, Iraq's second largest city, on Saturday, a day after they collected underfed and overwhelmed Iraqi soldiers who surrendered in droves.
An entire Iraqi division, the 51st Infantry, gave up to U.S. troops Friday, military officials said. A key unit for Basra's defense with 8,000 men and up to 200 tanks, it was the largest defection in a day when Saddam Hussein's forces showed signs of crumbling.
Saturday morning, American Marines and British troops rumbled along the main road from the Kuwaiti border to Basra, Highway 80-nicknamed the "Highway of Death" during the 1991 Gulf War when U.S. airstrikes wiped out an Iraqi military convoy along it.
At the Kuwait border, hundreds of tanks, armored personnel carriers, Humvees and trucks were lined up Saturday in a desert muddied by overnight rain, waiting in columns to pass into Iraq. It resembled a great train yard in the desert--some lines 70 vehicles long, others 50 long.
In the wake of the allied force, Iraqi captives were left packed into improvised pens of concertina wire, watched over by Marines. Partly disassembled rifles taken from the surrendering soldiers were piled beside the road. [emphasis added]
The implication here is that the Iraqi soldiers had, themselves, partially disassembled their weapons before surrendering them. Since there is no known incident in the history of war where soldiers had attempted to render their weapons inoperable before surrendering them, one can assume that these soldiers responded to a silent order to do so.
--- The coming conversion to HDTV has been orchestrated to free the airwaves for the potential puppeting of mankind. It is difficult to imagine any other reason why the government would be so concerned about our television viewing habits. When government can dictate every thought, every emotion and every movement in each member of society, we all become electronic toys remotely controllable for political and commercial purposes.

Comcast Cameras to Start Watching You?
NEWTEEVEE - March 18, 2008 -- If you have some tinfoil handy, now might be a good time to fashion a hat. At the Digital Living Room conference today, Gerard Kunkel, Comcast's senior VP of user experience, told me the cable company is experimenting with different camera technologies built into devices so it can know who's in your living room.
The idea being that if you turn on your cable box, it recognizes you and pulls up shows already in your profile or makes recommendations. ---
--- Kunkel said the system wouldn't be based on facial recognition, so there wouldn't be a picture of you on file (we hope). Instead, it would distinguish between different members of your household by recognizing body forms. He stressed that the system is still in the experimental phase, that there hasn't been consumer testing, and that any rollout "must add value" to the viewing experience beyond serving ads. ---

BLACK SAINTS OF THE DAY
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
Yeshua (Our Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ)
While Herod was still alive, He grew up in Hieropolis, outside of Old Cairo, Akebulan (Africa), until He was about age six or seven. "Herod" was the name of several rulers, and included Herod Achaeleus. And while the Apostles Peter (Cephas) and Paul went west:
Other Apostles Evangelize Africa
Matthew, Jude Thaddeus Lebbeus, John Mark (who died in Alexandria (Kemet/Egypt), Nathaniel Bartholomew, the Ethiopian Eunuch, and other apostles and disciples of Yeshua (Jesus) evangelized Africa.
But some evidence exists that St. Peter stopped and preached awhile in Africa (setting up the church in Babylon, Kemet (Egypt), mentoring his protégé, the African, St. Mark (Gospel of Mark). Mark became the first (arch) bishop of Alexandria, Kemet (Egypt). He also served as secretary to Paul, thus straddling two links in the early Church. More about this as facts are discovered in Vol. II.)
I am Mattai (Matthew Levi, also called the Evangelist). Alpheus and Mary were my parents. I spread the good news in Kemet, Ethiopia, Axum, (Abyssinia) for 23 years, (See Ruffin, The 12 Apostles, p.140). In battling two magicians, Zaroes and Arfaxat, through the power of Jesus Christ, I raised the son of King Aeglippus from dead. The magicians were forced to flee to what is now Iran.
I visited my Jewish brethren in Kemet and I am connected with the tradition/history of Abadias.
I preached to the Hebrews and wrote a Gospel for them in Aramaic before I continued my missionary work. In Africa, I was called apostle to the Ethiopians (Greek for “burnt faces”).
I was stoned and crucified downwards in Hierapolis, then beheaded. I am not black, as the term is understood, but I ministered in Africa, and so affiliated.
I am Simon Zelotes. From the bishop of Tyre and theologian, Dorotheus, traditions holds that I preached in Mauritania, Kemet, Libya, before going to Britain. The Coptic Church chronicles my travels in Kemet, and other parts of Akebulan (Africa), including what is now Tunisia, Mauretania Caesariensis (partly Morocco and Algeria). The Apostles, p. 146, puts Simon Zelotes in Mauritania, Kemet, and Libya.
I am Jude Thaddeus (LEBBEUS)
Traditionally my evangelizing in Africa answered a letter received from the King of Axum, Abgar, the Black, by my cousin, Yeshua. But Jesus was on the way to the crucifixion. (Some say the actions took place in between Tigris and Euphrates). I also evangelized in India and what is now Burma.
I am Phillip. I evangelized in Ethiopia and other parts of Africa. Traditionally, I am shown preaching in Carthage (now found in present-day Tunisia, Libya). An Ethiopian Orthodox Church tradition shows its apostolic succession is from me. I consecrated as a bishop, the Ethiopian Eunuch Finance minister of the Kandake (the warrior Queen Candace).
I am Nathaniel bar Tomai (Bartholomew). I evangelized in Central India, as well an area you would now consider black, and I preached in Kemet, according to Eusebius.
I am Thomas Didymus (The Twin). I founded the Church in what is now Beijing, China. I preached in India. The explorer, Marco Polo, prayed at my tomb in Malabar Province. Many of the priests and bishops designated Mar find their apostolic succession from me.
I am John Mark (Mark). I am called the evangelist. Martyred in or near Alexandria, Kemet (or dying there) see the New American Bible preface on section of John Mark.
GROUPS
10 companions and Bishop Dionysius the Great of Alexandria, writer of the doctrine of Trinity (Three persons in one God), MARTYRS;
10,000 martyred Fathers of the Deserts and Caves of Scete with Patriarch Theophilus of Alexandria).July 10
10,000 Soldiers of the Theban Legion of Caesar (some say 6600). All Christians from Africa area of the Thebaid in Kemet (Egypt), around 285 A.D.
100 Anchorite monks in the Kemetian Watzif desert. 17 Nov. We are found in the calendars of the Ethiopian Coptics.
10000 monks of Scete. We are martyrs. 7 July (probably the same as 11 at Alexandria (250 A.D.), Martyrs, 6 Sept.
11 martyr at Alexandria with Faustus the Presbyter (Elder), and Cyriacus, and Abibus, Sept. 6 Martyr (250 A.D.)
12 African Bishops and priests, associates of Melania Divas. Counted among the Nitria Mountain desert fathers and monks.
12 Brothers, the Holy Twelve Brothers, Martyrs, and Africans.
MORE RESOURCES (Some of the links might be broken, as they are old so verify)
Be aware that Yeshua, Jesus the Christ, wants His Church reunited. It will be! For in God’s eyes, there exists one, holy catholic (which means universal), and apostolic church in the Mystical Body of Christ(all Christianity combined).

Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 16 - I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE
"[Jesus] is Immanuel, the God with us, the divine Friend who alone has the words of eternal life! He is the light in darkness. He is our joy because we know that He loves each of us . . . . Do not forget that Jesus willed to remain, personally and really, in the Eucharist" (Pope John Paul II, March 11, 1979)
Mother Teresa Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Oh, what joy there is in spiritual battles! If suffices to know how to fight in order to be certain of victory (ASN, 43).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Why is it we always need an `explanation' of Faith?
"Finally convinced by vision, speech, and touch that He had risen, Mary Magdalene now runs to Peter and John to tell them of the news. Their answer was an `explanation' of the supposed phenomenon, and a typical explanation it was for men. They said `it is a woman's tale; you know how women are; they are always imagining things - are credulous and superstitious.'
When finally they were convinced on empirical grounds, it took seven days of evidence to convince the rest of the Apostles, one going so far as to demand the scientific test of putting his finger into the hands and his hand into the wounded side of Jesus, which evoked from the Savior the words, `Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believed.'"
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
On a certain occasion, the Lord said to me, I am more deeply wounded by the small imperfections of chosen souls than by the sins of those living in the world. It made me very sad that chosen souls make Jesus suffer, and Jesus told me,
These little imperfections are not all. I will reveal to you a secret of My Heart: what I suffer from chosen souls. Ingratitude in return for so many graces is My Heart's constant food, on the part of [such] a chosen soul. Their love is lukewarm, and My Heart cannot bear it; these souls force Me to reject them. Others distrust My goodness and have no desire to experience that sweet intimacy in their own hearts, but go in search of Me, off in the distance, and do not find Me. This distrust of My goodness hurts Me very much.
If My death has not convinced you of My love, what will? Often a soul wounds Me mortally, and then no one can comfort Me. They use My graces to offend Me. There are souls who despise My graces as well as all the proofs of My love. They do not wish to hear My call, but proceed into the abyss of hell. The loss of these souls plunges Me into deadly sorrow. God though I am, I cannot help such a soul because it scorns Me; having a free will, it can spurn Me or love Me. You, who are the dispenser of My mercy, tell all the world about My goodness, and thus you will comfort My Heart. (580)
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. APRIL 16 - I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE
Today Our Lady thanks the youth of the world: Dear children, I ask you to enter fully into prayer, for it is in prayer that you will come to know God's plans. (Weekly Message November 28, 1985).
And from the Old Testament, the advice of a sage:
Rejoice, young man, while you are young, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Follow the inclination of your heart and the desire of your eyes, but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment (Eccl 11:9)
Reflection:
The Blessed Mother has a special place in her heart for the young. Interestingly, most of her apparitions have been to children and youth, including those of Medjugorje.
Perhaps she chooses the young because they are open, innocent, and full of wonder. Yet we are called to these qualities, as the following verses relate:
Youth is not a time of life…it is a state of mind. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years; people grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair…these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust.
Whether seventy or sixteen, there is in every being's heart the love of wonder, the sweet amazement of the stars and the star like things and thoughts, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what is next, and the joy of the game of life.
You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.
Application:
Today, simply reflect on this line from Sir J. Stevens: "Every man has in himself a continent of undiscovered character. Happy is he who acts the Columbus to his own soul."

Dear Friends,
The Story of Thomas
Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe." Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you." Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe." Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed." John 20:24-29
It snowed for most of the day yesterday but not heavy. The temperature was just at the freezing point or just one degree above. What fell was wet snow and much of the snow that fell on the roads melted. Today it should clear up and we should see the sun later on.
I present you now with the message from Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, "When the Apostle Thomas was told that I was raised from the dead, he refused to believe. He wanted to put his finger into the mark of the nails and put his hand in My side. When I returned I called him to do just that. After he put his finger in the place of the nails and in My side, he did believe with all his heart.
My dear brothers and sisters, read this story so that it can help you to believe in Me as he did. He is your witness to show that he had doubts about My resurrection but after seeing Me, his doubts were gone and he believed. Accept his testimony as true and come and accept Me as your Lord and Redeemer. Thomas also died a martyr to show that what he professed was indeed true.
You are blessed, My friends, if you believe in Me without seeing Me. All those who believe today have never seen Me but they believe because of the testimony of the Bible and of the Church. Faith in Me, your Savior, is absolutely necessary in order to get to heaven. Accept and believe in My resurrection and come and follow Me. I will lead you along the right path that leads to heaven. I love you and I bless you."

Dear Friends,
Appearance to the Disciples
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with you." When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." And when he had said this, be breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained." John 20:19-23
We are still in the midst of a fierce winter storm which started Saturday night with plenty of snow. Yesterday the plows were out and cleared the roads so we could go to church but it snowed almost the whole day. Freezing rain fell during the night and this morning the windows are covered with ice and it is still snowing. It should clear up sometime today and I hope this is our last snowstorm.
I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday morning at the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, and a small group attended due to the storm. I was invited to two places for beautiful Easter meals. Today I am supposed to go to the Manor but I don't know if I will be able to reach the place with all this ice and snow. I will be leaving on Thursday for Medjugorje and I will be back on April 26. There will be a Healing Mass at the little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island on May 1.
Here is a message from Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, "After My resurrection on Easter morning, I appeared to various people beginning with My Mother, Mary Magdalene and the ten Apostles. One of the Apostles, Thomas, was not there. After I greeted them and showed them My hands and My side, they believed in Me although they were afraid. At that first appearance, I gave them the power to forgive sins.
I had died on the cross to atone for your sins before the Father. Now that I had accomplished everything the Father had asked Me, I gave the Apostles who were made priests at the Last Supper the power to absolve the sins of those who repented. Today all the priests of My Church have this power, which they received at ordination.
My dear friends, make use of this great sacrament often. It shows My love for you as I had to die on the cross to pay the price for all your sins. Now through the absolution of the priest your sins are wiped away and you receive the important graces of the sacrament. Rely on My mercy and go to receive this sacrament at least once a month.
Some think they do not have to go to confession to a priest because they wrongly think that they can go to Me directly. My friends, follow my teachings and not what My enemies teach you. I bless you."

"I love you"
Tuesday, April 14, 2009
Dear Friends,
The Story of Thomas
Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.
ow a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, Peace be with you. Then he said to Thomas, Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.
Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God! Jesus said to him, Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed. John 20:24 29
I present you now with the message from Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, When the Apostle Thomas was told that I was raised from the dead, he refused to believe. He wanted to put his finger into the mark of the nails and put his hand in My side. When I returned I called him to do just that. After he put his finger in the place of the nails and in My side, he did believe with all his heart.
My dear brothers and sisters, read this story so that it can help you to believe in Me as he did. He is your witness to show that he had doubts about My resurrection but after seeing Me, his doubts were gone and he believed. Accept his testimony as true and come and accept Me as your Lord and Redeemer. Thomas also died a martyr to show that what he professed was indeed true.
You are blessed, My friends, if you believe in Me without seeing Me. All those who believe today have never seen Me but they believe because of the testimony of the Bible and of the Church. Faith in Me, your Savior, is absolutely necessary in order to get to heaven. Accept and believe in My resurrection and come and follow Me. I will lead you along the right path that leads to heaven. I love you and I bless you.

Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 15 - Long for peace
"Love Jesus! Jesus is not an idea, a feeling, a memory! Jesus is a person, always alive and present with us!—Love Jesus present in the Eucharist" (Pope John Paul II, November 8, 1978).
Mother Teresa Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.
Meditations by Padre Pio - I therefore exhort you again to be trustful. A soul who trust in her Lord and places all her hope in Him has nothing to fear. The enemy of our salvation is always around us to snatch from our hearts the anchor that is to lead us to salvation, by which I mean trust in God our Father. Let us keep a very firm hold on this anchor and not relinquish it for a single moment. Otherwise all would be lost (Letters II p 410).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Belief and expectancy were clouded by the empty tomb
"When Mary Magdalene found the grave empty, the Resurrection did not enter her mind. She ran to some of the disciples, saying, `They've taken the body from the tomb and we don't know where they've put Him' (John 20: 2). Then she heard the rustling of someone in the bushes, she did not look up - so little was she anticipating seeing the Savior; she assumed that it was a gardener. Belief and expectancy are two factors that are absolutely essential for the production of psychological visions or imaginings, but both were lacking in the case of the disciples and the followers."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
On one occasion the Lord said to me, My daughter, your confidence and love restrain My justice, and I cannot inflict punishment because you hinder Me from doing so. Oh, how great is the power of a soul filled with confidence! (198)
Today, I heard these words: The graces I grant you are not for you alone, but for a great number of other souls as well... And your heart is My constant dwelling place, despite the misery that you are. I unite Myself with you, take away your misery and give you My mercy. I perform works of mercy in every soul. The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to My mercy. My mercy is confirmed in every work of My hands. He who trusts in My mercy will not perish, for all his affairs are Mine, and his enemies will be shattered at the base of My footstool. (723)
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.
APRIL 15 - LONG FOR PEACE
The Mother of God calls us to be peacemakers:
"Dear Children, I call you to help others through your spirit of peace, that they may see this in you and begin to long for peace within themselves.
Because you are at peace, dear children, you cannot understand the absence of it. That is why I call you, through your life and your prayer, to help destroy every evil among men, and to unmask Satan's deceptions. Pray, so that truth may prevail in your hearts (Weekly Message September 25, 1986.)
The prophet Micah speaks of the Messiah bringing peace
And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord, In the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they shall live secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth; and he shall be the one of peace. ---Micah 5: 4-5
Reflection:
In her messages at Medjugorje, Our Lady rarely speaks of peace out of context. Rather, she shows us that it is the fruit of faith, conversion and love.
The church, too, when speaking of the broader level of peace among nations, also traces the roots of this peace back to love, which includes generosity, mutual respect, and a spirit of brotherhood. From a teaching of the Second Vatican Council:
Peace cannot be obtained on earth unless personal values are safeguarded and men freely and trustingly share with one another the riches of their inner spirits and their talents.
A grim determination to respect other men and peoples and their dignity, as well as the studied practice of brotherhood, are absolutely necessary for the establishment of peace. Hence peace is likewise the fruit of love, which goes beyond what justice can provide (The Church Today, 78).
Application:
Reflect today on these words of Pope Paul VI on peace: "If we wish to have true peace, we must give it a soul. The soul of peace is love."
Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 14 - I need your prayers
A past message from Our Lady April 19,1984 (Holy Thursday) "Dear children! Sympathize with me! Pray, pray, pray!"
"From the celebration and adoration of the Eucharist spring the requirements of the faith, which lead one to become involved seriously in the destiny of the men and women of our time, such as the constant proclamation of the Good News to all; sincere and effective solidarity...; human and Christian promotion...; and, especially for the lay faithful ... the commitment to ordering and sanctifying temporal realities" (Pope John Paul II, March 25, 1996).
Mother Teresa I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.
Meditations by Padre Pio - I understand that temptations seem to stain rather than purify the soul, but this is not really the case. Let us see what the saints have to say about it. For you it suffices to know what the great St. Francis de Sales says, namely that temptations are like the soap, which when spread on the laundry seems to soil, but in reality cleanses it (Letters II pp 75f).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen Christ's followers were shortsighted for the Resurrection was the farthest thing from their mind!
"The followers of Jesus were not expecting a Resurrection and, therefore, did not imagine they saw something of which they were ardently hoping. Even Mary Magdalene, who within that very week had been told about the Resurrection when she saw Lazarus raised from a grave, did not believe it. She came on Sunday morning to the tomb with spices to anoint a body - not to greet a Risen Savior. On the way, the question of the woman was: `Who will roll back the stone for us?' Their problem was how they could get in; not whether the Savior would get out."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Amid the greatest torments, I fix the gaze of my soul upon Jesus Crucified; I do not expect help from people, but place my trust in God. In His unfathomable mercy lies all my hope. (681)
Once, as I was going down the hall to the kitchen, I heard these words in my soul: Say unceasingly the chaplet that I have taught you. Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy. I desire that the whole world know My infinite mercy. I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy. (687)
Suddenly I heard these words in my soul: My daughter, I assure you of a permanent income on which you will live. Your duty will be to trust completely in My goodness, and My duty will be to give you all you need. I am making Myself dependent upon your trust: if your trust is great, then My generosity will be without limit. (548)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages o Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.
APRIL 14 - I NEED YOUR PRAYERS
The Mother of God speaks to us of prayer today:
"Dear children, today I again call you to prayer. I need your prayers so that God can be glorified through all of you. Dear children, I beseech you to hear your Mother 's message and live it, for I call you only out of love so that I can help you." (Weekly Message January 16, 1986)
The psalmist lifts up his soul to God in prayer:
Give ear to my words, O Lord; Give heed to my sighing. Listen to the sound of my cry, My King and my God, For to you I pray. (Psalm 5: 1-2)
Reflection:
The Lord answers all prayers, and yet he may not give us precisely what we ask for, if it would be harmful to us. A child, for instance, may wish to play with matches, but out of love his parent would give him a toy instead.
This loving concern of God is expressed in these lines by an unknown author: I asked God for strength that I might achieve; I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for help that I might do greater things; I asked for riches that I might be happy; I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life; I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I was given nothing that I asked for; But everything that I had hoped for. Despite myself, my prayers were answered; I am among men most richly blessed. Application:
In prayer today, ask the Lord for what you need, but not for what you want. Another correction of Message to Christina Gallagher March 29,2009
Sorry I am late in getting this final corrected email to you. I was working on sending out thousands. Hope you had a Happy Easter.
My first email to you was incomplete. Sorry for this mistake.
Please note corrections especially in portion on Christina’s experience.
Apologies for delay in correction of typing errors in Our Lady’s message.
It is now over 20 years since Our Blessed Mother’s first apparition to Christina Gallagher. Our Lady’s call was not new. It was simply the call of Her Son in the Gospel -a call to come back to God, a call to repentance. It was a call to prayer from the heart through Her most beautiful Rosary. In the course of the past 20 years, God has powerfully upheld everything in Our Lady’s message as announced by Christina. She was frequently shown world events before they took place and all events shown to Christina have invariably been fulfilled.
Earthquake in IRAN
As related in her autobiography (Out of the Ecstasy and Onto the Cross p11) she was shown an earthquake three weeks before it took place in Iran, killing 5,000 people. She told her spiritual director. When it occurred and was shown on television news, Our Lady explained to Christina that she had been shown the calamity before it took place, not to prevent it but to prepare the souls of the people for God.
War in RWANDA
In early 1993, one year before the horrible war in Rwanda, Christina received an apparition (Out of the Ecstasy and Onto the Cross, p.11) in which she was asked by an African boy (unknown to her) named Emmanuel Segastashya, "Pray for me and my country, Burundi." - a country she had never heard of. It was only the following year when the slaughter of the war in Rwanda broke out and engulfed neighboring Burundi and among the countless victims of the massacres was Emmanuel - a visionary in Church - approved apparitions there - that the reason became clear to Christina.
War in CHECHNYA
On December 26, 1992 Christina had an apparition of the war that broke out approximately two years later in Chechnya. She made known, as usual, in advance what was shown to her. (Out of the Ecstasy and Onto the Cross, p.262).
Attack on TWIN TOWERS, NEW YORK
While in New York to address a Rosary Rally at Battery Park on September 11, 1999 Christina prophesied that the Twin Towers would be destroyed. She made the statement in the presence of a number of people including a US judge, a Canadian attorney, a radio broadcaster, and her spiritual director. One of these, Judge Dan Lynch, an American Judge, wrote an article on the matter and made it more widely public.
Tsunami in the INDIAN OCEAN
On a number of separate occasions, the first being eight years before the Indian Ocean tsunami disaster - the massive undersea earthquake which smashed into nine countries across Asia on December 26, 2004 killing approximately one quarter of a million people - Christina was shown the exact tsunami scene taking place on a beautiful sandy beach with the wave washing in over houses and leaving corpses strewn on the beach as it swelled out again to sea.
She did not have the word 'tsunami' as it was not in ordinary use then but she published what was shown her in her biography which appeared as far back as 1996. Christina would lament and cry bitter tears on seeing these scenes in advance for she knew how Our Lady had been trying since the beginning of Her apparitions to warn the world on how to prevent such disasters.
Her calls were widely ignored and even ridiculed. On CNN News and on RTE news bulletins in Ireland, December 29th and 30th scientists were quoted as saying, All we can say is that the sea-bed shifted from its axis .
They were actually using the exact words of warning Our Blessed Mother had spoken to Christina on July 16, 2002 (published then on the web-site) ˜...I tell you the world has been drawn short of its axis. It is clinging to the Hand of God to uphold it through Jesus...' Not only did the foretold happening occur but was even described afterwards by scientists in the very terms predicted by Our Lady.
Weather changes throughout THE WORLD
Long before weather patterns began to alter, Our Lady was warning us of what has now become widespread throughout the world. As far back as January 1, 1995 She declared, '...My daughter, the world is in its decline! World purification has begun. It will intensify more and more. The weather will be so changeable: heat to cold to ice: rainstorms like the world has not witnessed: hurricanes, floods, earthquakes even in unexpected countries: mudslides, disasters throughout the world will increase when the Hand of My Son covers the world...This message's widespread fulfillment is, of course, a matter of historical record.?
Collapse of the STOCK MARKET
On January 23, 2006, Christina was told by Our Blessed Mother that the works She had desired 'should be completed at once as there will be a collapse in the stock market'. This message, given to Christina by Our Blessed Mother at the height of the economic boom in 'celtic tiger' Ireland as it was then called seemed incredible even to some devotees of Our Lady's message! Ireland was the economic envy of the world because of the enormous strength of the national economy and its highest-ever living standards.
We were being held up as the perfect example of material prosperity and for anyone to speak or even think of economic collapse seemed absurd and ridiculous. Yet, against all the odds and despite the complacency of experts the message of Our Lady to Christina was, as always, once again resoundingly fulfilled.
ONE WORLD Currency, ONE WORLD Bank, ONE WORLD Government and ONE WORLD Church
As far back as 1992 Christina was told by Our Blessed Mother that a uniting of currencies would come about in Europe (Out of the Ecstasy and Onto the Cross, pg 329) and following that, in the world. The former has of course already occurred as of March 2009, a number of world political leaders are calling for a world regulation of banking, and even a single world currency. We can, therefore, now see a global bank and uniting of currency about to come into being. Swiftly we will see a total control of people being put in place through the use of the chip which will be nothing other than the mark of the beast mentioned in the Scriptures (Book of Revelations, chapter 13). Those who take it will lose their souls permanently as revelation states. Then there will be put in place a one world Church which will not be Christian.
Message upheld by HEALINGS
Over 500 healings have been recorded. These include 10 different forms of cancer, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, blindness, instantaneous clearance of blocked carotid arteries among several other conditions. Some already have received exhaustive in-depth analysis and been found by consultants and medical professors to have 'no human, scientific, medical or psychological explanation'.
Message upheld by the Gift of Knowledge of SOULS
God's gift of seeing a person's state of soul was given to Christina as she ministered to priests. It is probably best summed up by a Jesuit theologian from London who first visited her 20 years ago. He later wrote of his experience, 'This remarkable Irishwoman demonstrated beyond any doubt that she possessed a sort of x-ray vision into my private world of conscience and moral striving.
She could read the secrets of my heart. She could witness within me that hidden arena where, as is the case with everyone, warfare is waged non-stop between good and evil, truth and falsehood, light and darkness. Though aware that other priests had a similar experience, I was nonetheless bowled over when Christina Gallagher proceeded to discern with clinical precision the weaknesses and strengths of my world within'. (Dr. Richard Foley, S.J., Preface, The Sorrow, the Sacrifice and the Triumph by Dr. Tom Petrisko)
The following is the latest experience given to Christina by Our Lady Queen of Peace on March 29th 2009
The birth-pangs are over. The world is handed over to the anti- Christ.
Civil war will break out in the United States and many will fight and kill each other. ˜Nests™ of foreigners have already been placed in the US. Christina was shown a scene of what will take place, the weapons being used and the blood flowing. The horror was over powering for her.
Christina was then allowed to witness the explosion of a bomb which will be dropped on America. Its impact was horrific. She was shown that an earthquake will follow some time later. (She, herself believes that the earthquake will be a direct consequence of the bomb.)
The events in the U.S. will also filter throughout Europe and then throughout the world. A great suppression will come about.
Many, including Church authorities will go willingly in union with the anti-Christ because of the control he wields. Christina was shown how God desires to protect the handing on of the faith throughout the times that are to follow. Christina was shown how the Holy Father is suffering. There is much rebellion and hatred against him even within the Church. She was then shown the global Church descending into a great blackness and exuding misty vapour. This scene was surrounded by a multitude of angry demons wanting to get rid of the Church and Christianity.
Christina was then shown Blessed Michael, clad in red and gold and holding his sword upright. Behind him could be seen Our Blessed Lady and a multitude of angels in red, in haste to do battle with the adversary.
Pestilence will accompany the civil war and the suppression. Mosquitoes will carry all kinds of new diseases. Locusts such as have never been seen before will form a plague; it will seem as those themselves have an evil intent, almost as if they have an awareness that they are to wreak destruction.
Christina understands that if people in the US wish to gain the graces of protection as invited by Our Blessed Lady, they should be in the state of grace and draw from God's graces through Her promise by going to pray frequently in Her Chain Houses and upholding them -now, beforehand- as it will be too late for them when these events have begun to happen.
As messenger, Christina says it is heartbreaking for her to give this message and yet she has no option but to do so. She gives it in response to Our Blessed Lady despite her knowing that she will be mocked and ridiculed for doing so. However, it is up to each one to choose whether they accept or reject it.
For your information:
Our Lady's words to Christina for the anniversary, July 16th 2008,
"Everyone of you can see around you the disintegration of faith in God and the decline of the world.
I desire that you study My messages in which I prepared you for these times and foretold what has now come upon you.
I desire My children to read those messages in which I tried to protect you from the dangers which now surround you.
There is nothing more to be said."

BLACK SAINTS OF THE DAY
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).
MORE RESOURCES (Some of the links might be broken, as they are old so verify)
Be aware that Yeshua, Jesus the Christ, wants His Church reunited. It will be! For in God’s eyes, there exists one, holy catholic (which means universal), and apostolic church in the Mystical Body of Christ(all Christianity combined).

Medjugorje Day by Day Apr 13 - CONTINUALLY GIVE THANKS "[Jesus] is Immanuel, the God with us, the divine Friend who alone has the words of eternal life! He is the light in darkness. He is our joy because we know that He loves each of us . . . . Do not forget that Jesus willed to remain, personally and really, in the Eucharist" (Pope John Paul II, March 11, 1979).
Mother Teresa I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Rest assured that the more a soul is pleasing to God, the more it must be tried. Therefore, courage, and go forward always (Letters III p 401).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen The Resurrection convinced the greatest skeptics: The Apostles!
"What is most peculiar about Easter is that although His followers had heard Him say He would break the bonds of death, when He actually did, no one believed it. They had to be convinced beyond all shadow of a doubt.
Of all the skeptics in the history of the world, none ever equaled the Apostles and the disciples and the holy women. Voltaire and the like were credulous babes compared to them in skepticism. Contemporary attempts to explain away the belief in the Resurrection psychologically fail to take this doubt into account."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html Amid the greatest torments, I fix the gaze of my soul upon Jesus Crucified; I do not expect help from people, but place my trust in God. In His unfathomable mercy lies all my hope. (681)
Once, as I was going down the hall to the kitchen, I heard these words in my soul: Say unceasingly the chaplet that I have taught you. Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy. I desire that the whole world know My infinite mercy. I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy. (687)
Suddenly I heard these words in my soul: My daughter, I assure you of a permanent income on which you will live. Your duty will be to trust completely in My goodness, and My duty will be to give you all you need. I am making Myself dependent upon your trust: if your trust is great, then My generosity will be without limit. (548)

APRIL 13 - CONTINUALLY GIVE THANKS
The Blessed Mother speaks of joy and thanksgiving today:
Dear children, today I invite you all to rejoice in the life which God has given you. Little children, rejoice in God the Creator for he has created you so wonderfully.
In your prayer, ask that your life be one of joyful thanksgiving, which flows from your heart like a river of joy. Little children, continually give thanks for all that you possess, for even the little gifts, which God has given you. In this way, a joyful blessing will always come down form God upon your life (Monthly Message August 25, 1988).
Psalm 92 also rings with the spirit of joy and thanksgiving:
It is good to give thanks to the Lord, To sing praise to your name, O Most High; To declare your steadfast love in the morning, And your faithfulness by night, To the music of the flute and the harp, To the melody of the lyre. For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work; At the works of your hands I sing for joy. Psalm 92:1- 4
Reflection:
A spirit of gratitude and joy always accompanies our spiritual journey to God. In quiet moments of prayer we can recognize the beautiful array of gifts the Lord has bestowed on us. The following verses by an anonymous poet were written in that spirit:
Today upon a bus, I saw a lovely maid with golden hair; I envied her---she seemed so gay---and wished I were as fair. When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle; She had one foot and wore a crutch, but as she passed, a smile… Oh, God, forgive me when I whine; I'm blessed, indeed! The world is mine… With feet to take me where I'd go, With eyes to see the sunset's glow, With ears to hear what I would know, Oh, God, forgive me when I whine; I'm blessed indeed! The world is mine.
Application:
Today, simply spend several minutes reflecting of God's gifts and expressing your gratitude for them.
Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 12 - DEVOTE YOURSELVES TO PRAYER
"Christians ought to be committed to bearing more forceful witness to God's [Eucharistic] presence in the world. We should not be afraid to speak about God and to bear proud witness to our faith" (Pope John Paul II, Mane Nobiscum Domine, 26
Mother Teresa If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Take heart and don't fear the gloomy wrath of Lucifer. Always remember this, that it is a good sign when the enemy makes an uproar and roars around your will, as this shows you that he is not within you. Courage, my most beloved daughter, I offer you these words with great feeling and in Jesus; courage I say! There is no need to fear when we can say with determination, even if without feeling: "Long live Jesus!" (Letters III p 414).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
There seems to be no rational for the rationalization of the Intelligentsia.
"Intelligentsia do not become members of a sect for an intellectual reason. That is why when discussing the sect with them, they never seem to understand it. Instead of a `reason' for becoming a member, they have only an `intention,' namely the desire to escape boredom. Their motives are alien to the rational."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Love casts out fear. Since I came to love God with my whole being and with all the strength of my heart, fear has left me. Even if I were to hear the most terrifying things about God's justice, I would not fear Him at all, because I have come to know Him well. God is love, and His Spirit is peace. I see now that my deeds which have flowed from love are more perfect than those which I have done out of fear. I have placed my trust in God and fear nothing. I have given myself over to His holy will; let Him do with me as He wishes, and I will still love Him. (589)
I have noticed many times that God tries certain people on account of those things about which He spoke to me, for mistrust displeases Jesus. Once, when I saw that God had tried a certain Archbishop [Jalbrzykowski] because he was opposed to the cause and distrustful of it, I felt sorry for him and pleaded with God for him, and God relieved his suffering. God is very displeased with lack of trust in Him, and this is why some souls lose many graces. Distrust hurts His most sweet Heart, which is full of goodness and incomprehensible love for us. A priest should sometimes be distrustful in order to better ascertain the genuineness of gifts bestowed on a given soul; and when he does so in order to direct the soul to deeper union with God, his will be a great and incomprehensible reward indeed. But there is a great difference between this and disrespect and distrust of divine graces in a soul simply because one cannot comprehend and penetrate these things with one's mind, and this latter is displeasing to the Lord. I greatly pity souls who encounter inexperienced priests. (595)

APRIL 12 - DEVOTE YOURSELVES TO PRAYER
The Blessed Mother speaks of her favorite subject today:
Dear children, today I call you to renew family prayer in your homes. Now that the work in the fields is over, devote yourselves to prayer. Let prayer take first place in your families (WM 11-1-84).
In Psalm 3, David speaks of attaining God's safety through prayer:
But you, O Lord, are a shield around me, my Glory, and the one who lifts up my head. I cry aloud to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy hill. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the Lord sustains me. Psalm 3:3-5 Reflection: One of the gifts that often accompanies deep prayer is serenity, a sense of being safe in the hands of God. In this spirit St. Teresa of Avila wrote: Let nothing disturb you, Nothing frighten you; All things are passing; God never changes; Patient endures Attains to all things; Who God possesses In nothing is wanting; Alone God suffices.
In view of this peace, it would not seem difficult to live the Madonna's call to devote ourselves to prayer.
And the fruit of prayer, of course, is serenity.
Application: Try to remain in quiet prayer today until you feel the peace of God within your heart.
Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 11 - I LOVE YOU IMMEASURABLY
"May the Virgin Mary preserve us in the joy of continually receiving the graces of the Savior . . . the very gift of God Himself, Who dwells with us in His Word, His Spirit and His Eucharist" (Pope John Paul II).
Mother Teresa I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Be firmly convinced that the more the assaults of the enemy increase, the closer God is to the soul. Think of, and ponder well, this great and comforting truth (Letter III p 417)
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Socializers' denial of morality and virtue make their world darker.
"If socializers' behavior were better, they would be truly religious people and do much good for society. They look for a cause which will leave them alone with their individual vices. They swallow the devil's line also because its anti-religious character satisfies their desire to expunge from the world all ideas of morality and virtue, the infractions against which have made them so uneasy in the dark."
In looking for purpose, bored Intelligentsia clamor for freedom and find it not within but without where they can disavow individual responsibility.
"The third group who have been caught on the hooks of the devil's fishing line are Bored Intelligentsia. Their education should have given them a goal or a purpose of life. Having failed to do so, their knowledge is nothing but a crazy quilt of unrelated facts and undigested bits of information. The want of unity both in their moral life and their knowledge makes them desirous of unity, but not a unity from within which demands moral stamina, but a unity from without. Certain sects provide that for them. They no longer have to think; the sect does the thinking for them. They now have a mission, a sense of belonging to a totality, and one in which they are no longer bored by their freedom, having surrendered it to the collective ant hill of the sect."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
On one occasion, I saw Jesus in a bright garment; this was in the greenhouse. [He said to me,] Write what I say to you. My delight is to be united with you. With great desire, I wait and long for the time when I shall take up My residence sacramentally in your convent. My spirit will rest in that convent and I will bless its neighborhood in a special way.
Out of love for you all, I will avert any punishments which are rightly meted out by My Father's justice. My daughter, I have inclined My heart to your requests. Your assignment and duty here on earth is to beg for mercy for the whole world.
No soul will be justified until it turns with confidence to My mercy, and this is why the first Sunday after Easter is to be the Feast of Mercy. On that day, priests are to tell everyone about My great and unfathomable mercy. I am making you the administrator of My mercy. Tell the confessor that the Image is to be on view in the church and not within the enclosure in that convent. By means of this Image I shall be granting many graces to souls; so let every soul have access to it. (570)
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.
APRIL 11 - I LOVE YOU IMMEASURABLY
Our Lady speaks of love today:
"Dear Children, I thank you for the love which you have shown me. You know, dear children, that I love you immeasurably, and that I pray to the Lord daily that he may help you to realize more fully the love which I bear you. That is why, dear children, pray, pray, pray (Weekly Month August 21, 1986).
Paul also speaks of love:
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these of love (1 Cor 13:12-13).
Reflection:
Clearly love is the very essence of God's nature and the motivating force of our faith. We could spend our lives attempting to fathom its depth.
For centuries, writers and poets have sought to express God's love in their verse. In modern times, one beautiful passage was written by Major Malcolm Boyle, who was killed in action after the landing on D-day in June, 1944. He had written the following lines in his Bible:
If I should never see the moon again Rising red gold across the harvest field, Or feel the stinging of soft April rain, As the brown earth her hidden treasures yield.
If I should never taste the salt sea spray As the ship beats her course against the breeze, Or smell the dog-rose and the new mown hay, Or moss and primrose beneath the tree.
If I should never hear the thrushes wake Long before the sunrise in the glimmering dawn. Or watch the huge Atlantic rollers break Against the rugged cliffs in baffling scorn.
If I have said goodbye to stream and wood, To the wide ocean and the green clad hill, I know that he who made this world so good Has somewhere made a heaven better still.
This I bear witness with my latest breath Knowing the love of God, I fear not death.
Application:
Let us pray especially today to more fully comprehend the love of God

Dear Friends,
The Guard at the Tomb
The next day, the one following the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said, ?Sir, we remember that this imposter while still alive said, ?After three days I will be raised up. Give orders, then, that the grave be secured until the third day, lest his disciples come and steal him and say to the people, ?He has been raised from the dead. This last imposter would be worse than the first. Pilate said to them, The guard is yours; go secure it as best you can. So they went and secured the tomb by fixing a seal to the stone and setting the guard. Matthew 27:62 66
Yesterday we had a beautiful sunny day although it was cool. Today there are clouds and we will not see the sun very much. The forecaster predicts snow during the night and tomorrow. I hope this will be the last snowstorm of the season.
I went to the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, yesterday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. for the Good Friday Liturgy. The church was full and it was moving. In the evening I was back at the same church for a dramatized Way of the Cross that was very moving and again the church was full. I will be there again this evening for the Easter Vigil celebration and Holy Mass.
Yesterday I was with Jesus on the cross and He shared with me His suffering. Since my retreat in Jerusalem where I suffered the Passion of Our Lord for two weeks, I always suffer with Jesus on Good Friday. In this way He shows His great love for me and for all the people of the world.
Here is a message given by Our Blessed Mother to Joseph. She spoke to him in these words, Let us go today to the tomb of My Dear Son and pray awhile. Let us not get too close as the guards are there. During the time of silence I prayed to the Father that He send the graces won by My Son Jesus to all the people that they might be converted and come to believe in Him.
Many in the world are far from My Son and they live in sin. May the New Pentecost come soon so that a new era may begin. My Son's suffering and painful death on the cross was not in vain. May the power coming from the cross enlighten all the people to believe in their Savior and follow Him.
I was present at the cross and at the burial of My Son Jesus. I suffered great pain in seeing how horribly He suffered until His death. However, before He died He said these words to the Apostle John, This is your Mother. And to Me He said, This is your son. At that moment I became the Mother of all of you as John stood for each one of you.
As your Mother, I wish to bring you all to Jesus, My Son, so you can be washed in His Blood and be His followers. Look up at the cross today and say just like the centurion, Truly, this is the Son of God. May the new era of grace begin. I bless you all.
Father Melvin
P.S. I wish you all a Happy and Joyful Easter!

Jesus Shares His Gift With Those Who Die For Him!
On Saturday I visited church and made the sacrament of penance. At the 8:00 AM Mass today, I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and remembered all those in prayer with special needs and intentions.
Prior to receiving the most sacred Body and Blood of Christ in the sacrament of Holy Communion, I made an Act of Contrition prior to the taking of the Sacred Host After receiving the Body and Blood of Christ, I knelt in silent commune with Jesus. I thanked Him for His many blessings and affirmed my love and faithfulness to Him. In prayer I asked Jesus to remove all thought and sight from my heart and soul that I might be open to hear or see only that which comes from Him. Then I prayed; Speak Lord (if it be His will), Your servant listens.
I began to see only soft tranquil shades of blue. I was not sure if the colors reminded me of the sky or the sea.
Then Jesus spoke saying; Peace! Eileen My child, I AM the risen Christ! I bring My peace to all who will die to sin. In dying to sin, you will be once again raised up and share eternity with Me!

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE "May the new era of grace begin"
Saturday, April 11, 2009
Dear Friends,
The Guard at the Tomb
The next day, the one following the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said, “Sir, we remember that this imposter while still alive said, ‘After three days I will be raised up.’
Give orders, then, that the grave be secured until the third day, lest his disciples come and steal him and say to the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead.’ This last imposter would be worse than the first.” Pilate said to them, “The guard is yours; go secure it as best you can.” So they went and secured the tomb by fixing a seal to the stone and setting the guard. Matthew 27:62–66
Yesterday I was with Jesus on the cross and He shared with me His suffering. Since my retreat in Jerusalem where I suffered the Passion of Our Lord for two weeks, I always suffer with Jesus on Good Friday. In this way He shows His great love for me and for all the people of the world.
Here is a message given by Our Blessed Mother to Joseph. She spoke to him in these words, “Let us go today to the tomb of My Dear Son and pray awhile. Let us not get too close as the guards are there. During the time of silence I prayed to the Father that He send the graces won by My Son Jesus to all the people that they might be converted and come to believe in Him.
Many in the world are far from My Son and they live in sin. May the New Pentecost come soon so that a new era may begin. My Son’s suffering and painful death on the cross was not in vain. May the power coming from the cross enlighten all the people to believe in their Savior and follow Him.
I was present at the cross and at the burial of My Son Jesus. I suffered great pain in seeing how horribly He suffered until His death. However, before He died He said these words to the Apostle John, ‘This is your Mother.’ And to Me He said, ‘This is your son.’ At that moment I became the Mother of all of you as John stood for each one of you.
As your Mother, I wish to bring you all to Jesus, My Son, so you can be washed in His Blood and be His followers. Look up at the cross today and say just like the centurion, ‘Truly, this is the Son of God.’ May the new era of grace begin. I bless you all.”
Father Melvin
P.S. I wish you all a Happy and Joyful Easter!
Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 11 - I LOVE YOU IMMEASURABLY
"May the Virgin Mary preserve us in the joy of continually receiving the graces of the Savior . . . the very gift of God Himself, Who dwells with us in His Word, His Spirit and His Eucharist" (Pope John Paul II).
Mother Teresa I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Be firmly convinced that the more the assaults of the enemy increase, the closer God is to the soul. Think of, and ponder well, this great and comforting truth (Letter III p 417)
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Socializers' denial of morality and virtue make their world darker.
"If socializers' behavior were better, they would be truly religious people and do much good for society. They look for a cause which will leave them alone with their individual vices. They swallow the devil's line also because its anti-religious character satisfies their desire to expunge from the world all ideas of morality and virtue, the infractions against which have made them so uneasy in the dark."
In looking for purpose, bored Intelligentsia clamor for freedom and find it not within but without where they can disavow individual responsibility.
"The third group who have been caught on the hooks of the devil's fishing line are Bored Intelligentsia. Their education should have given them a goal or a purpose of life. Having failed to do so, their knowledge is nothing but a crazy quilt of unrelated facts and undigested bits of information.
The want of unity both in their moral life and their knowledge makes them desirous of unity, but not a unity from within which demands moral stamina, but a unity from without. Certain sects provide that for them. They no longer have to think; the sect does the thinking for them. They now have a mission, a sense of belonging to a totality, and one in which they are no longer bored by their freedom, having surrendered it to the collective ant hill of the sect."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian. org/directory_ flash.html
On one occasion, I saw Jesus in a bright garment; this was in the greenhouse. [He said to me,] Write what I say to you. My delight is to be united with you. With great desire, I wait and long for the time when I shall take up My residence sacramentally in your convent. My spirit will rest in that convent and I will bless its neighborhood in a special way.
Out of love for you all, I will avert any punishments which are rightly meted out by My Father's justice. My daughter, I have inclined My heart to your requests. Your assignment and duty here on earth is to beg for mercy for the whole world.
No soul will be justified until it turns with confidence to My mercy, and this is why the first Sunday after Easter is to be the Feast of Mercy. On that day, priests are to tell everyone about My great and unfathomable mercy. I am making you the administrator of My mercy. Tell the confessor that the Image is to be on view in the church and not within the enclosure in that convent. By means of this Image I shall be granting many graces to souls; so let every soul have access to it. (570)
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.
APRIL 11 - I LOVE YOU IMMEASURABLY
Our Lady speaks of love today:
"Dear Children, I thank you for the love which you have shown me. You know, dear children, that I love you immeasurably, and that I pray to the Lord daily that he may help you to realize more fully the love which I bear you. That is why, dear children, pray, pray, pray (Weekly Month August 21, 1986).
Paul also speaks of love:
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these of love (1 Cor 13:12-13).
Reflection:
Clearly love is the very essence of God's nature and the motivating force of our faith. We could spend our lives attempting to fathom its depth.
For centuries, writers and poets have sought to express God's love in their verse. In modern times, one beautiful passage was written by Major Malcolm Boyle, who was killed in action after the landing on D-day in June, 1944. He had written the following lines in his Bible:
If I should never see the moon again Rising red gold across the harvest field, Or feel the stinging of soft April rain, As the brown earth her hidden treasures yield.
If I should never taste the salt sea spray As the ship beats her course against the breeze, Or smell the dog-rose and the new mown hay, Or moss and primrose beneath the tree.
If I should never hear the thrushes wake Long before the sunrise in the glimmering dawn. Or watch the huge Atlantic rollers break Against the rugged cliffs in baffling scorn.
If I have said goodbye to stream and wood, To the wide ocean and the green clad hill, I know that he who made this world so good Has somewhere made a heaven better still.
This I bear witness with my latest breath Knowing the love of God, I fear not death.
Application:
Let us pray especially today to more fully comprehend the love of God
Message to J.N.S.R. Feb. 7,2009
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH YOUR BAPTISM?
February 7, 2009
One day, it was given to us, in a limitless LOVE, the grace to have "GOD living on our Earth."
Not knowing LOVE, men condemned Him to death on a CROSS. They asked themselves: "How could GOD who is not visible, live among us by becoming flesh? And as they saw Him die of LOVE on the Cross that they had prepared for Him, this Son of man was giving them HIS LIFE. As a consequence, man was becoming eternal; from then on, the Kingdom of GOD was opened to them. Man could acquire the identity of the SON of GOD, if he accepted to change his character.
Since well over 2,000 years, Man is struggling and defending himself against the price to pay for this "Transfiguration" .
- Becoming better, perfect and generous -
- Becoming LOVE and FORGIVENESS -
To receive the identity of the SON of GOD, is asking too much of him! So, the entire world continues living in "perfect disorder". The whole Earth took the path of "Disobedience" .
GOD who promised to return, in order to bring to completion His dearest WISH: to make of all Mankind, divine beings, in His Image, has been waiting over 2,000 years for Man to change his character.
The LOVE of the Living GOD is not better understood than before. The Father, tired of waiting, and as Time is drawing near, His Holy Promise is leaving room to Punishment, for it is getting late.
So, catastrophes multiplied, elements were mixed up, and rose against Mankind. Death became more and more frequent to those populations that were subjected to every kind of disease, to repeated famines. Barbaric attempts and fratricidal wars came evermore in rapid sequence. The Evil One is furious.
The Father in Heaven is warning Mankind: "Take care. None of the events of this day can really be explained by science, as you believe! Your disobedience is the cause, like your first parents, by denying Me. You have chosen "the dark side". You are held under the power of Evil which you have chosen."
Your origin is divine and to prove it to you, I come to warn you. I AM your Father. A Father full of LOVE cannot abandon His children. I come to ask for your love for your GOD and for your brothers.
Only then, when you will be ALL LOVE, the Earth shall become LOVE, and it shall renew itself in a New Earth.
Seeing a LOVE shared with GOD,
I will cancel all the ancient Prophecies.
Our Father, the Creator of all the Universe says to you: "For the LOVE of only one Creature upon the Earth, I can perform a miracle never seen before. GOD united (in His Three Persons), is that Universal LOVE that brings together all Principles, all the Laws, and the Foundation of the Universe, in one Unique and True God, who is His SON. He, who attributed to His Most Holy Cross, all that is LIFE and Reason for LIFE, in order to pursue, beyond the World and Worlds, the LIFE that has no end, earned through His Holy Death on His Cross of LOVE.
By His Holy Resurrection, He is the LIVING ONE, bringing in His Footsteps, all Men of all races, to His Father, who opens for us His Kingdom of Light and Eternal Glory.
Jesus-Christ, TRUE GOD and TRUE Man, He who was baptized by a man named John (Saint John the Baptist), sanctified all the waters on the Earth.
Those waters, who lead Mankind to Purification, say to each one of you: "What have you done of your Baptism?" which is the first Sacrament requested by GOD. Clovis, the king of the Francs, asked the Bishop of Reims for Baptism, for himself and for his soldiers. And now the Children of the Earth are getting away from the first protection that GOD gives you, so as to receive "the Holy Identity of Your Divine Creator".
Do not separate yourselves from what GOD Himself has initiated: the Holy Baptism.
The Earth is presently drinking all the water that Men have refused for their Baptism, ever since the Baptism by immersion of Jesus-Christ in the Jordan River. The angels are telling you this.
JESUS: Again I say to you: he who sees GOD, becomes GOD himself, and he who sees GOD, already bears in himself His Holy Identity.
So, you shall see this miracle, since in these times, you are very doubtful: you reject LOVE and HOPE that I offer you. I AM coming to perform before your eyes, "the miracle of Saint Thomas". You will remember that he who sees and touches My Holy Wounds, will not be able to remain a doubtful person. But the one who believes in My LOVE, who loves and forgives, because he sees himself in GOD, shall be a glorified man, who has his hands open to receive in abundance My marvelous LOVE.
The Suffering of My Holy CROSS, was transformed in a Holy Blessing, united to the suffering of all Humanity. That Blessing becomes the Purification of Man and his Earth.
1- GOD shall descend from the Throne of the Eternal Kingdom, to point out to this unbelieving World, the Wounds that are the five Jewels of the Lord. I shall touch your hands, your feet, your heart. You shall bear them inwardly, and they will be there to bring you to your conversion. And then, you will believe as did Saint Thomas.
All men, all the Creatures of GOD will be inundated with My LOVE.
Everything will be on the same wave length. Lights and Sounds shall be the reflection of My New Earth.
I come to give My Identity to everything.
To My beloved children.
Jesus-Christ, the King of LOVE.

"I am your Savior"
Friday, April 10, 2009
Dear Friends,
The Death of Jesus
From noon onward, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And about three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Some of the bystanders who heard it said, "This one is calling for Elijah."
Immediately one of them ran to get a sponge; he soaked it in wine, and putting it on a reed, gave it to him to drink. But the rest said, "Wait, let us see if Elijah comes to save him." But Jesus cried out again in a loud voice, and gave up his spirit. And behold, the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom.
The earth quaked, rocks were split, tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. And coming forth from their tombs after his resurrection, they entered the holy city and appeared to many.
The centurion and the men with him who were keeping watch over Jesus feared greatly when they saw the earthquake and all that was happening, and they said, "Truly, this was the Son of God!" There were many women there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him. Among them were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. Matthew 27:45-56
Here is a message given by Our Lord and Savior to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him from the cross while he was in contemplation and here are the Lord's words, "Come, My brother, close to Me as I hang upon the cross for your salvation. See the blood dripping from all My wounds. They have driven the nails through My hands and feet and the crown of thorns is on My head. I am in great pain as I await this cruel death.
See, My brothers and sisters, what your sins have caused Me. How evil sin is that it has caused Me excruciating suffering during My Passion until My death on the cross. However, I suffered all this for you because I love you and I desire reconciliation between you and the Father. Through My Passion I have opened heaven for you so that if you follow Me, you will enter one day eternal life in heaven and you will be with the Father, with Me and the Holy Spirit and with My Blessed Mother and all the angels and saints.
Come spend this holy day in union with Me on the cross. Contemplate the scene as I hang on the cross. You know that I was crucified instead of you because I love you. Let Me wash you completely in My Blood and you will be cleansed. I am your Savior."

Dear Friends,
The Lord's Supper
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.
I tell you, from now on I shall not drink this fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it with you new in the Kingdom of my Father." Then, after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Matthew 26:26-30
I am giving you another message by Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "As it is customary for the Jews, the families come together to celebrate the Passover on a special date every year. This is in commemoration of the first Passover in Egypt where the Jews lived in slavery for four hundred years.
Each family had killed a lamb, smeared the blood on the frame of the door and ate the lamb. The angel of death passed over the homes of the Jews but one was killed in every home of the Egyptians. I am now the Lamb of God killed for your salvation.
It was during the Passover meal that I instituted the Eucharist with the Apostles the night before I died on the cross. I celebrated the First Eucharist by taking bread and blessed it and I gave it to the Apostles saying, 'Take and eat: this is my body.' By these words I changed the bread into My very flesh. I was now present in the Eucharist with My body and blood, soul and divinity.
Then I took the cup of wine, gave thanks and gave it to them saying, 'Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.' At the end I told the Apostles to do this in commemoration of Me.
I gave the gift of the Eucharist to the Church founded upon the Apostles. I disappeared from the sight of the people but I am still with you in a very special way in the Eucharist. I am present there as I live in heaven at the right hand of the Father. Have a great devotion to the Eucharist and come to receive Me often. I bless you."

For My repentant children
February 2, 2009
JESUS: My child, write this for all the children of the World.
When you distance yourselves from GOD, do not take any other path than the One where the Most Holy Virgin of Light, "The Virgin of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple". She is the Mother who, alone, can atone the sin of Her repentant children.
Those who are touched by Her, shall have for their life, the burning fire of Her Motherly LOVE for JESUS, the Child of Divine reconciliation.
They will have to remember that the Blessed Mother and the Divine Child will always be on their heart, in order to give to the World, the "Testimony of the Great Forgiveness", of the Mother and Child.
The Mother in Love with God, and the Divine Child who can refuse nothing to His Blessed Mother. +
Blessings this day, to those who are coming back to GOD, through the path of the Virgin of Light. Jesus and Mary on this day of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple. Amen.
Your Jesus of LOVE with My Most Holy Mother, the Virgin of Light and of FORGIVENESS.

"The Paschal Mystery is Christ at the summit of the revelation of the inscrutable mystery of God. It is precisely then that the words pronounced in the Upper Room are completely fulfilled: 'He who has seen me has seen the Father.'
In fact, Christ, whom the Father 'did not spare' for the sake of man and who in His passion and in the torment of the cross did not obtain human mercy, has revealed in His resurrection the fullness of the love that the Father has for Him and, in Him, for all people. 'He is not God of the dead, but of the living.'
In His resurrection Christ has revealed the God of merciful love, precisely because He accepted the cross as the way to the resurrection" (Pope John Paul II, Dives in Misericordia, 8).
Mother Teresa
Meditations by Padre Pio -
You must turn to God when you are assaulted by the enemy; you must hope in Him and expect everything that is good from Him. Don't voluntarily dwell on what the enemy presents to you.
Remember that, he who flees, wins, and at the first sign of your aversion for those people, you must stop thinking of it and turn to God. Bend you knee before Him, and with the greatest humility say this short prayer: "Have mercy on me a poor weakling." Then get up and, with holy indifference, go on about your business (Letters III p 418).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
The motives of many who cry peace and justice are the socializers satan loves!
"The second group of those who have been caught on the hooks of the devil's fishing line are the Socializers. Not everyone in our modern world develops social interests because he loves his neighbor in God. There are some who enter social work to escape the incessant accusing repartee of their consciences.
Failing in individual justice, they compensate for it by espousing social justice; they escape the need of personal reformation by going hog wild about social reformation; they meddle with everyone else's morals, in order to be too busy to correct their own."

When we went to take part in the celebrations, my heart leapt with joy that the two solemnities were so closely united. I asked God for mercy on the souls of sinners. Toward the end of the service, when the priest took the Blessed Sacrament to bless the people, I saw the Lord Jesus as He is represented in the image. The Lord gave His blessing, and the rays extended over the whole world. Suddenly, I saw an impenetrable brightness in the form of a crystal dwelling place, woven together from waves of a brilliance unapproachable to both creatures and spirits. Three doors led to this resplendence. At that moment, Jesus, as He is represented in the image, entered this resplendence through the second door to the Unity within. It is a triple Unity, which is incomprehensible-which is infinity. I heard a voice, This Feast emerged from the very depths of My mercy, and it is confirmed in the vast depths of My tender mercies. Every soul believing and trusting in My mercy will obtain it. I was overjoyed at the immense goodness and greatness of my God. (420)
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.
APRIL 10 - BEGIN CHANGING YOUR FAMILY LIFE
The family is the topic of Our Lady's message today:
"Dear Children, today I call you to begin changing your family life. May it be like a harmonious flower which I can present to Jesus. Dear Children, I ask each family to actively pray, for one day the fruit of family prayer will clearly seen. Then I will give you all to Jesus, like the petals of many flowers, in fulfillment of God's plan" (Weekly Message May 1, 1986)
In this passage from Ephesians, Paul urges us to seek wisdom and to rejoice in the name of Jesus Christ:
Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of time, because the days are evil. So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Eph 5:15-20).
Reflection:
Truly our joy resides in Jesus Christ, as Paul tells the Ephesians, and as Our Lady tells the families of the world. Clearly it is in the family that Christ is born into the hearts of children and where the torch of faith is passed from one generation to the next.
And so the Blessed Mother urges that, "Every family be active in prayer," for this makes all the difference.
Application:
In response to the Virgin's message today, offer the following prayer for your family:
Lord Jesus, I implore you to grant your special graces to our family. May our home be a shrine of peace, purity, love, labor, and faith. I ask you, dear Jesus, to protect and bless all of us, absent and present, living and dead.
O Mary, loving Mother of Jesus, and our Mother, pray for our family, for all the families of the world. Guard the cradle of the newborn, the schools of the young, and their vocations.
Blessed St. Joseph, holy guardian of Jesus and Mary, assist us by your prayers in all the necessities of life. Ask of Jesus that special grace which he granted to you, to watch over our home and the pillow of the sick and the dying, so that with Mary and with you, heaven may find our family unbroken in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Amen.

"Contemplate on what I suffered for you"
Wednesday, April 08, 2009
Dear Friends,
Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came up to him with an alabaster jar of costly perfumed oil, and poured it on his head while he was reclining at table. When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and said, Why this waste? It could have been sold for much, and the money given to the poor. Since Jesus knew this, he said to them,
Why do you make trouble for the woman? She has done a good thing for me. The poor you will always have with you; but you will not always have me. In pouring this perfumed oil upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. Amen, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be spoken of, in memory of her.? Matthew 26:6 13
It rained yesterday for a good part of the day but the sun came out in the evening and it was mild. It is partly cloudy this morning but the sun will shine later on. The temperature stays a little above the freezing point but the snow is disappearing fast.
I celebrated Holy Mass at the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island yesterday morning and I will celebrate Holy Mass again this morning at the same time. Last evening I was at our church for one hour of Eucharistic Adoration during the most holy week of the year. This evening I will go back to the church for the prayer meeting at 8:00 p.m. I expect a large group of people. I hope to send out the newsletter by the end of the week.
Here now is the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, The day of My Passion and death is now very near. I had told My Apostles many times that I would go to Jerusalem and be arrested by the Chief Priests and be condemned to death and I would die on the cross and on the third day I would rise again. The Apostles could not accept this.
Another action to show that I was close to death was the anointing by Mary of Magdala in Bethany. She poured out upon My head a costly perfumed oil to prepare My body for burial. Although Judas objected that she use this oil, I told him that she did a good thing. He wanted the oil sold and the money given to the poor but the truth is that he was in charge of the common purse and he often stole that money.
Mary of Magdala’s action showed her great love for Me, her Savior. I had forgiven her all her sins and since that time she was a follower of mine.
My dear friends, what are you going to do during this Holy Week to show Me your love? Are you going to pray more? Are you going to help the poor? My dear brothers and sisters, I call you near to Me especially during these coming days when I suffered and died for you and on the third day I rose from the dead. Show by your good actions that you are thankful and you wish to be united with Me during these days. Contemplate on what I suffered for you.

"I am your Savior"
Friday, April 10, 2009
Dear Friends,
The Death of Jesus
From noon onward, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And about three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Some of the bystanders who heard it said, "This one is calling for Elijah."
Immediately one of them ran to get a sponge; he soaked it in wine, and putting it on a reed, gave it to him to drink. But the rest said, "Wait, let us see if Elijah comes to save him." But Jesus cried out again in a loud voice, and gave up his spirit. And behold, the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom.
The earth quaked, rocks were split, tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. And coming forth from their tombs after his resurrection, they entered the holy city and appeared to many.
The centurion and the men with him who were keeping watch over Jesus feared greatly when they saw the earthquake and all that was happening, and they said, "Truly, this was the Son of God!" There were many women there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him. Among them were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. Matthew 27:45-56
Here is a message given by Our Lord and Savior to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him from the cross while he was in contemplation and here are the Lord's words, "Come, My brother, close to Me as I hang upon the cross for your salvation. See the blood dripping from all My wounds. They have driven the nails through My hands and feet and the crown of thorns is on My head. I am in great pain as I await this cruel death.
See, My brothers and sisters, what your sins have caused Me. How evil sin is that it has caused Me excruciating suffering during My Passion until My death on the cross. However, I suffered all this for you because I love you and I desire reconciliation between you and the Father. Through My Passion I have opened heaven for you so that if you follow Me, you will enter one day eternal life in heaven and you will be with the Father, with Me and the Holy Spirit and with My Blessed Mother and all the angels and saints.
Come spend this holy day in union with Me on the cross. Contemplate the scene as I hang on the cross. You know that I was crucified instead of you because I love you. Let Me wash you completely in My Blood and you will be cleansed. I am your Savior."

"I bless you"
Thursday, April 09, 2009
Dear Friends,
The Lord's Supper
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.
I tell you, from now on I shall not drink this fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it with you new in the Kingdom of my Father." Then, after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Matthew 26:26-30
I am giving you another message by Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "As it is customary for the Jews, the families come together to celebrate the Passover on a special date every year. This is in commemoration of the first Passover in Egypt where the Jews lived in slavery for four hundred years.
Each family had killed a lamb, smeared the blood on the frame of the door and ate the lamb. The angel of death passed over the homes of the Jews but one was killed in every home of the Egyptians. I am now the Lamb of God killed for your salvation.
It was during the Passover meal that I instituted the Eucharist with the Apostles the night before I died on the cross. I celebrated the First Eucharist by taking bread and blessed it and I gave it to the Apostles saying, 'Take and eat: this is my body.' By these words I changed the bread into My very flesh. I was now present in the Eucharist with My body and blood, soul and divinity.
Then I took the cup of wine, gave thanks and gave it to them saying, 'Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.' At the end I told the Apostles to do this in commemoration of Me.
I gave the gift of the Eucharist to the Church founded upon the Apostles. I disappeared from the sight of the people but I am still with you in a very special way in the Eucharist. I am present there as I live in heaven at the right hand of the Father. Have a great devotion to the Eucharist and come to receive Me often. I bless you."

For My repentant children
February 2, 2009
JESUS: My child, write this for all the children of the World.
When you distance yourselves from GOD, do not take any other path than the One where the Most Holy Virgin of Light, "The Virgin of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple". She is the Mother who, alone, can atone the sin of Her repentant children.
Those who are touched by Her, shall have for their life, the burning fire of Her Motherly LOVE for JESUS, the Child of Divine reconciliation.
They will have to remember that the Blessed Mother and the Divine Child will always be on their heart, in order to give to the World, the "Testimony of the Great Forgiveness", of the Mother and Child.
The Mother in Love with God, and the Divine Child who can refuse nothing to His Blessed Mother. +
Blessings this day, to those who are coming back to GOD, through the path of the Virgin of Light. Jesus and Mary on this day of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple. Amen.
Your Jesus of LOVE with My Most Holy Mother, the Virgin of Light and of FORGIVENESS.

Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 10 - Begin changing your family life
"The Paschal Mystery is Christ at the summit of the revelation of the inscrutable mystery of God. It is precisely then that the words pronounced in the Upper Room are completely fulfilled: 'He who has seen me has seen the Father.'
In fact, Christ, whom the Father 'did not spare' for the sake of man and who in His passion and in the torment of the cross did not obtain human mercy, has revealed in His resurrection the fullness of the love that the Father has for Him and, in Him, for all people. 'He is not God of the dead, but of the living.'
In His resurrection Christ has revealed the God of merciful love, precisely because He accepted the cross as the way to the resurrection" (Pope John Paul II, Dives in Misericordia, 8).
Mother Teresa
Meditations by Padre Pio -
You must turn to God when you are assaulted by the enemy; you must hope in Him and expect everything that is good from Him. Don't voluntarily dwell on what the enemy presents to you.
Remember that, he who flees, wins, and at the first sign of your aversion for those people, you must stop thinking of it and turn to God. Bend you knee before Him, and with the greatest humility say this short prayer: "Have mercy on me a poor weakling." Then get up and, with holy indifference, go on about your business (Letters III p 418).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
The motives of many who cry peace and justice are the socializers satan loves!
"The second group of those who have been caught on the hooks of the devil's fishing line are the Socializers. Not everyone in our modern world develops social interests because he loves his neighbor in God. There are some who enter social work to escape the incessant accusing repartee of their consciences.
Failing in individual justice, they compensate for it by espousing social justice; they escape the need of personal reformation by going hog wild about social reformation; they meddle with everyone else's morals, in order to be too busy to correct their own."

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.
APRIL 10 - BEGIN CHANGING YOUR FAMILY LIFE
The family is the topic of Our Lady's message today:
"Dear Children, today I call you to begin changing your family life. May it be like a harmonious flower which I can present to Jesus. Dear Children, I ask each family to actively pray, for one day the fruit of family prayer will clearly seen. Then I will give you all to Jesus, like the petals of many flowers, in fulfillment of God's plan" (Weekly Message May 1, 1986)
In this passage from Ephesians, Paul urges us to seek wisdom and to rejoice in the name of Jesus Christ:
Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of time, because the days are evil. So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Eph 5:15-20).
Reflection:
Truly our joy resides in Jesus Christ, as Paul tells the Ephesians, and as Our Lady tells the families of the world. Clearly it is in the family that Christ is born into the hearts of children and where the torch of faith is passed from one generation to the next.
And so the Blessed Mother urges that, "Every family be active in prayer," for this makes all the difference.
Application:
In response to the Virgin's message today, offer the following prayer for your family:
Lord Jesus, I implore you to grant your special graces to our family. May our home be a shrine of peace, purity, love, labor, and faith. I ask you, dear Jesus, to protect and bless all of us, absent and present, living and dead.
O Mary, loving Mother of Jesus, and our Mother, pray for our family, for all the families of the world. Guard the cradle of the newborn, the schools of the young, and their vocations.
Blessed St. Joseph, holy guardian of Jesus and Mary, assist us by your prayers in all the necessities of life. Ask of Jesus that special grace which he granted to you, to watch over our home and the pillow of the sick and the dying, so that with Mary and with you, heaven may find our family unbroken in the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Emperor Hadrian founded the town October 30, 130 A.D. Tradition says the Roman monarch built it to honor Antinus, who jumped into the Nile to save the emperor. A Headquarters (See) within of the Thebaid, now Esneh, or Esench, a city in Egypt, built by the Emperor Hadrian A. D. 132, in memory of his favorite, Antinous. Antinoe played a small part in the history of Christianity. It became the seat of a bishopric subject to Thebes, and a good many monasteries were founded in the neighborhood. Africa Proconsularis Canopus Of Kemet (Egypt). Its old Egypt (ian) name was Pikuat. Greeks called it Kanobos, or Kanopos. That was the name of a Greek fleet naval officer buried there. The city lies by the seventh Nomos (Menelaites, later Canopites), near the Canopic mouth. Martyrs in the persecution of in the reign of terror and persecutions of Roman Emperor Diocletian from there included Athanasia, her three daughters, Cyrus and John. Monks from Tabennisi built a monastery there called Metanoia. Patriarchs of Alexandria found sanctuary in the fifth century religious fights. About two miles to the east of Canopus is found a church on the spot of an old pagan temple, now dedicated to the Evangelists. Cyril of Alexandria took the relics of the martyrs Cyrus and John to the church. It became a place of pilgrimage. At Canopus, God healed Sophronius of Jerusalem of an eye problems said incurable by doctors. The saint then wrote the panegyric of the two saints with a collection of seventy miracles worked in their church. (Migne, P.G. LXXXVII, 3379676) It’s Arabic name is now Aboukir, "Father Cyrus".

(Feast day 3 Jan.). Dioscorus proved oldest of the Tall Brethren the four monks of Nitria from nearby there. Tabenna Alexandria: Why so many saints from Alexandria? Because it has always been a seaport. Alexandria the improved the facilities, this was in the decline of our empire. Further, Our Lord, Yeshua, Jesus the Christ in English was raised near there. My speculation, the place was filled with grace because of the Holy Family's temporary presence.

Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 07 - ST. JOHN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE
"This providential initiative [witnessing to the presence of the Risen Lord], falling appropriately in the context of the year dedicated to the Eucharist, will surely be a source of renewed apostolic vitality and missionary daring for everyone . . . to bear witness, in modern society, to the presence of the Risen Christ, the center of the Church." (Pope John Paul II, February 19, 2005)
Mother Teresa Everything is God's to give and to take away, so share what you've been given, and that includes yourself.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Put an end to these apprehensions. Remember that it is not the thought that makes the sin, but consenting to these thought. Only the free will is capable of good or evil. But when the will groans under the trial presented by the tempter and does not want it, there is not only no sin, but there is virtue. (CE, 34).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Haters are the first of five classes who are gullible to Satan's bait. "Haters. Bigots use their heads, though wrongly; haters use their spleens, though overmuch."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - O my God, my only hope, I have placed all my trust in You, and I know I shall not be disappointed. (317) Once, my confessor [Father Sopocko] asked me where the inscription should be placed, because there was not enough space in the picture for everything. I answered, "I will pray and give you an answer next week." When I left the confessional and was passing before the Blessed Sacrament, I received an inner understanding about the inscription.
Jesus reminded me of what He had told me the first time; namely, that these three words must be clearly in evidence: "Jesus, I trust in You." ["Jezu, Ufam Tobie."] I understood that Jesus wanted the whole formula to be there, but He gave no direct orders to this effect as He did for these three words.
I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature: "Jesus, I trust in You." (327)
Jesus, I trust in You; I trust in the ocean of your mercy. You are a Mother to me. (249)
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.
APRIL 7 - ST. JOHN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE
In the midst of the civil war in Yugoslavia, the Blessed Mother gave this message to the world in the spring of 1992:
"Dear Children, today I also call you to prayer. Only by prayer and fasting can war be stopped. Therefore, my dear little children, pray, and by your life give witness that you are mine and that you belong to me, for Satan wants during these turbulent days to seduce as many souls as possible.
Therefore, I call you to decide for God, for he will protect you and show you what you should do and which path to take " (Monthly Message April 25, 1992).
The Virgin's call to show the world that we belong to her are an echo of the words of Christ in Luke's gospel. No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light (Lk 8 :16).
Reflection:
Example is a teacher's greatest tool of instruction, a fact well understood by St. John Baptist de la Salle, the founder of a teaching order, the Brothers of the Christian Schools. Born in 1651 of a wealthy and noble family, John was both scholarly and devout, beginning his studies for the priesthood while still in his teens. Ordained at 27, his empathy for the poor and uneducated led him to devote his life to their care.
He was also a great innovator : Individual instruction was replaced by instruction in class; he insisted on silence and order in the classroom, and instructions were given in the native language rather than Latin. He once wrote to his friars :
You should not doubt that you have been given the grace to teach (children), to instruct them in the gospel, an to form them in religion. This is a great gift from God…Let your students be moved by your untiring care for them and feel as though God were encouraging them through you.
Application:
"I call you to decide for God," the Virgin says today, "for he will protect you an show you what you should do and which path to take." In the spirit of St. John, make this commitment to God again in prayer today.
Message to Louise April 6,2009 Message via L., VJ April 6, 2009- - -9:35 A.M.
L. began to receive a message fron her sons and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood."
"Dear mom there are few true believers alive on earth today. People are agnostic, atheistic, belong to cults or occults thus ignoring every word of God, breaking His every word. It's very hard to keep the faith today for the influences is everywhere - - on television, newspapers, in magazines; just everywhere!
Adults and children alike live in deadly sin. It won't be long now before our God sends His devastating JUSTICE. People MUST either convert, change their lives or eternally reap their chosen reward- -Heaven with God or Hell with Satan. Mom, TIME IS VERY SHORT! People of every race, color and creed MUST heed the Words the Father, God and OBEY!
We love you mom and pray at the Feet of God for you, our sister and her family.
Forever your sons, Joey and Stephen."
Vision to littlest of servants April 6, 2009
While in Church this morning praying before the BLESSED SACRAMENT I received the following vision.
I saw a CATHOLIC CHURCH and the walls and roof all collapsed leaving a small beautiful CATHOLIC CHURCH in the center.
JESUS then spoke and told me that soon the REMNANT CHURCH that HIS MOTHER has been building all these years will emerge and that CHURCH will be much more beautiful than what we have now.
JESUS speaks of HIS little servant to littlest of servants April 5, 2009
MY little servant has indeed been MY little servant all these years.
MY little servant has served ME in all HUMILITY.
MY little servant has sacrificed much and has suffered much all the while serving ME.
MANY YEARS AGO I RAISED THE LITTLE SERVANT FROM THE DEAD (my life of sin) TO SERVE ME AND TO PROVE THAT I AM CAN EVEN RAISE THE ROCKS UP TO SERVE ME.
MY little servant is one of the MANY GIFTS to this generation.
MY little servant has been the signpost on the road leading to ME.
(I now received a vision and I saw a signpost on a fork in the road that indicated which way to go).
That PATH that the little servant has pointed to has on it SACRIFICE, THE ROSARY, THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET, MASS, AND CONFESSION.
All these things make sure you stay on this RIGHT PATH which will lead you to your SALVATION, your JESUS.
(I received another vision and I saw the RESURRECTED JESUS at the end of a path with HIS ARMS wide open to receive those on this PATH).
PRAY FOR THE LITTLE SERVANT. I LOVE the little servant SO MUCH.
The little servant has suffered so much. LISTEN to MY little servant, My GIFT to you.
THE LITTLE SERVANT IS TRULY THE SIGNPOST ON THE SURE PATH THAT LEADS TO YOUR JESUS.
JESUS YOUR SAVIOR WHO SAVES

"I suffer for you today"
Friday, April 03, 2009
Dear Friends,
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 if 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!"
When Pilate saw that he was not succeeding at all, but that a riot was breaking out instead, he took water and washed his hands in the sight of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood. Look to it yourselves." And the whole people said in reply, "His blood be upon us and upon our children." Then he released Barabbas to them, but after he had Jesus scourged, he handed him over to be crucified. Matthew 27:15-26
Here is the message Our Lord gave Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, "As you can see My trial before Pilate was a farce. Although he said that I was innocent, he had Me scourged and then handed Me over to the soldiers to be crucified. He had a notorious prisoner released instead of Me.
For the scourging the soldiers tied Me to a pillar and stripped Me. Then they started beating Me with long whips with some metal on the tips. This metal would enter My skin and tear out My flesh every time.
At the end I was bleeding all over My body and I was lying on the floor covered with blood. I had no more strength to stand up. After the whipping was over, they placed a crown of thorns on My head driving the thorns into My flesh. Blood poured out of these wounds into My eyes and on the face.
My dear friends, I accepted all this suffering for you because I love you. I am indeed your Savior who paid the price for all your sins. I accepted to suffer and to die on the cross so that you would become My friend and live in union with Me every day. My heart is full of mercy for you, so come to Me and repent of your sins. I will take them all away. Come to the cross today and contemplate Me, Your Savior, as I suffer for you today."
Father Melvin
Mother of God Message of March 25, 2009
"Dear children! In this time of spring, when everything is awakening from the winter sleep, you also awaken your souls with prayer so that they may be ready to receive the light of the risen Jesus. Little children, may He draw you closer to His Heart so that you may become open to eternal life. I pray for you and intercede before the Most High for your sincere conversion. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Our Lady's message to Medjugorje visionary Mirjana Soldo, April 2, 2009:
"Dear children, God's love is in my words. My children, that is the love which desires to turn you to justice and truth. That is the love which desires to save you from delusion. And what about you, my children? Your hearts remain closed; they are hard and do not respond to my calls. They are insincere. With a motherly love I am praying for you, because I desire for all of you to resurrect in my Son. Thank you."
Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 06 - You are all My children
CONFIRMED: MEDJUGORJE SEER RECEIVES ANOTHER MESSAGE MENTIONING 'SIGN OF THE TIMES'
Seer Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo of Medjugorje has received a second message mentioning "signs." We have verified it through a guide who was present.
The visionary, who no longer sees the Blessed Mother every day, receives a monthly messages on the second of every month and the one for April 2 reportedly read:
"Dear Children, I come to you because I wish to show you, by my own example, the importance of prayer for those who have not known the love of God. Ask yourself if you are following me. My children, don't you recognize the signs of the times? Don't you talk about them? Follow me. As your Mother I call you! Thank you for having responded."
One of the eldest of the six seers, who assert apparitions at the famed site since 1981, Mirjana was the first to receive all ten of the secrets designated for each one and in March too relayed a message that for the first time in years seemed to carry prophetic import.
That message -- recorded during her annual birthday apparition on March 18 -- read:
"Dear children! In this Lenten time, I call you to interior renunciation. The way to this leads you through love, fasting, prayer and good works. Only with total interior renunciation will you recognize God's love and the signs of the time in which you live. You will be witnesses of these signs and will begin to speak about them. I desire to bring you to this. Thank you for having responded to me."
The gravity of such language is rare at Medjugorje, where since the 1990s messages have focused almost solely on general spirituality.
Medjugorje - A past message from Our Lady March 25, 1997 "Dear children! Today, in a special way, I invite you to take the cross in the hands and to meditate on the wounds of Jesus. Ask of Jesus to heal your wounds, which you, dear children, during your life sustained because of your sins or the sins of your parents.
Only in this way, dear children, you will understand that the world is in need of healing of faith in God the Creator. By Jesus' passion and death on the cross, you will understand that only through prayer you, too, can become true apostles of faith; when, in simplicity and prayer, you live faith which is a gift. Thank you for having responded to my call."
"In one Spirit we were all baptized into one body . . . and we were all given to drink of one Spirit" (1 Cor 12:13). "The Eucharist, precisely by building up the Church, creates human community" (Art. 24). Offer a parish Holy Hour for vocations to the priesthood and religious life on Holy Thursday. Encourage adorers to pray for seminarians, priests, bishops, cardinals and our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II.
Mother Teresa
I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Apr 9 Temptations against faith and purity are the merchandise offered by the enemy, but do not fear him, rather, despise him. As long as he makes an uproar it is a sign that he has not yet possessed the will. Don't be upset by what you experience through the work of this rebellious angel. Let your will always be contrary to his suggestions, and live tranquilly, because you are not at fault, but rather, you please God and gain progress for your soul (Letters III p426).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Lake Hades is a dangerous fishing area!
"As one makes a study of those who have been caught on the hooks of the devil's fishing line, or who hide behind their freedoms in order to destroy the very source of that freedom, and who are thus particularly gullible for the devil's bait can be reduced to five classes."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
God and Souls. An Act of Oblation.
Before heaven and earth, before all the choirs of Angels, before the Most Holy Virgin Mary, before all the powers of heaven, I declare to the One Triune God that today, in union with Jesus Christ, Redeemer of souls, I make a voluntary offering of myself for the conversion of sinners, especially for those souls who have lost hope in God's mercy.
This offering consists in my accepting, with total subjection to God's will, all the sufferings, fears and terrors with which sinners are filled. In return, I give them all the consolations which my soul receives from my communion with God. In a word, I offer everything for them: Holy Masses, Holy Communions, penances, mortifications, prayers. I do not fear the blows, blows of divine justice, because I am united with Jesus.
O my God, in this way I want to make amends to You for the souls that do not trust in Your goodness. I hope against all hope in the ocean of Your mercy. My Lord and my God, my portion-my portion forever, I do not base this act of oblation on my own strength, but on the strength that flows from the merits of Jesus Christ. I will daily repeat this act of self-oblation by pronouncing the following prayer which You Yourself have taught me, Jesus:
"O Blood and Water which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a Fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You!" (309)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
APRIL 6 - YOU ARE ALL MY CHILDREN
Today Our Lady speaks of our equality in God's sight. In the context of the cure of an Orthodox child, she said:
"Tell this priest, tell everyone, that it is you who are divided on earth. The Muslims and the Orthodox, for the same reason as Catholics, are equal before my Son and I. You are all my children.
Clearly, all religions are not equal, but all men are equal before God, as St. Paul says. It does not suffice to belong to the Catholic church to be saved, it is also necessary to respect the commandments of God while following your conscience." (First Years 1985)
In John's gospel, Christ also speaks of our oneness with God and with each other:
The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that your have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me (Jn;22-23).
Reflection:
Mindful of this call from Christ and his Mother that we be one, united in God's Spirit, let us offer the following prayer for our unity:
Lord Jesus Christ, at your Last Supper you prayed to the Father that all should be one. Send your Holy Spirit upon all who bear your name and seek to serve you. Strengthen our faith in you, and lead us to love one another in humility. May we who have reborn in one baptism be united in one faith under one shepherd. Amen.
Application:
Keep an eye on the religion section of your local newspaper, watch for the next ecumenical liturgy or service project in your community. Support it by your presence and prayer.
Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 05 - I call you today to complete surrender to God
Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 05 - I call you today to complete surrender to God
"We adore You, Jesus Eucharist. We adore Your body and blood given for us and for all in the remission of sins. ... As we adore You, how can we not think about the many things we should do to give You glory? ... Help us, Jesus, to understand that 'to do' in Your Church, .... it is important above all 'to be', that is, to stay with You in adoration, in Your gentle company." (Pope John Paul II, March 18, 2005).
Mother Teresa
Anyone is capable of going to Heaven. Heaven is our home. Dying is not the end, it is just the beginning. Death is a continuation of life. This is the meaning of eternal life; it is where our soul goes to God, to be in the presence of God, to see God, to speak to God, to continue loving Him with greater love. We only surrender our body in death - our heart and our soul live forever.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Observe well that as long as you are displeased by the temptations you have nothing to fear. But why are you sorry about this, if not because you don't want to experience it? These troublesome temptations come from the evil of the devil. But the displeasure and suffering we experience come from the mercy of God, who, contrary to our enemy's will, draws holy tribulations from malice, through which He purifies the gold that wants to be part of His treasure.
Furthermore, your temptations come from the devil but your suffering and afflictions come from God and Paradise. The mother is from Babilonia, but the children are from Jerusalem. Despise the temptation and embrace the tribulation. No, no, my daughter, let the wind blow, and do not believe the noise of leaves is the blast of arms (Letters III, pp 636-637).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
05-Be righteously angry at wrongs!
"When more get mad, not because they lose money, but because right is ignored and wrong enthroned, then the fires will come back to democracy. And these fires will burn like beacons summoning men to a finer and better world."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html
Once the Lord said to me, Act like a beggar who does not back away when he gets more alms [than he asked for], but offers thanks the more fervently. You too should not back away and say that you are not worthy of receiving greater graces when I give them to you. I know you are unworthy, but rejoice all the more and take as many treasures from My Heart as you can carry, for then you will please Me more. And I will tell you one more thing: Take these graces not only for yourself, but also for others; that is, encourage the souls with whom you come in contact to trust in My infinite mercy. Oh, how I love those souls who have complete confidence in Me. I will do everything for them. (294)
Ask of my faithful servant [Father Sopocko] that, on this day, he tell the whole world of My great mercy; that whoever approaches the Fount of Life on this day will be granted complete remission of sins and punishment.
Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My mercy.
Oh, how much I am hurt by a soul's distrust! Such a soul professes that I am Holy and Just, but does not believe that I am Mercy and does not trust in My Goodness. Even the devils glorify My Justice but do not believe in My Goodness.
My Heart rejoices in this title of Mercy. (300)
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.
APRIL 5 - I CALL YOU TO SURRENDER Today the Blessed Mother speaks of both surrender and joy:
"Dear Children, I call you today to complete surrender to God-to great joy and peace which only God can give. I am with you and I intercede for you every day before God (Monthly Message March 25, 1989).
Christ also speaks of the rewards of abandoning oneself to God:
Peter began to say to him, "Look, we have left everything and followed you. " Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold?" (Mk 10:28-30).
Reflection:
Following Christ, surrendering ourselves to his care, is accompanied by beautiful gifts of the Holy Spirit, chief among them being inner peace. Yet it is a seeming paradox that in abandoning ourselves, placing ourselves totally at God's disposal, we should at the same time experience a profound freedom of spirit. But this is because all our cares, worries, and problems are no longer ours, but the Lord's. We become like trusting children again, confident and safe in the hands of our Father.
Application:
Mindful of Our Lady's message today, surrender yourself again to the Lord, using this prayer composed by St. Teresa of Avila:
Lord, grant that I may always allow myself to be guided by you, always follow your plans, and perfectly accomplish your will.
Grant that in all things, great and small, today and all the days of my life, I may do whatever you require of me. Help me to respond to the slightest prompting of your grace, so that I may be a trustworthy instrument for your honor.
May your will be done in time and in eternity---by me, in me, and through me. Amen.
Message to J.N.S.R Jan.11,2009
The END of My Book is not the OMEGA.
It is the ALPHA of your LIFE in ME.
January 11, 2009
JNSR: GOD is asking me to live, with Him, what I am about to write now, in order to bring His Book to its end.
I love to paint as I love to draw , and I noticed that an artist would often like to enter the painting being done and to be involved with all those characters who make up the scenery to which he gives life.
GOD is the sublime artist who paints and animates this immense fresco which is the Universe. GOD is greater than the Universe, since HE is the One who painted it!
If sometimes I find, in a painting I have just done, that something frustrates me, I remove it with one stroke of the brush, and replace it with something else, or even with some paint. In any case, we cannot leave an empty spot.
When the painting is finished, sometimes, after a period of time, I come back to it and I realize that it needs a finishing touch. And this is how, as long as that painting is where I can see it, I never find it just as I wanted it to be.
And thus, GOD sees His Creation, but He granted it all freedom. He does not touch it, and it became quite imperfect.
GOD: I created this animated picture of the World that keeps on deteriorating itself. I did not create it stable, and it has lost its identity. It no longer knows who has created it, or why it exists! Poor World!
It is my Masterpiece. I must repair it. It is now self destructive. Either I obliterate it all, and I start all over again, or I obliterate the part that is most damaged by wars, massacres, insolent powers, the domination of money and all those fornications.
GOD says to Himself: How could I destroy a part of the Work that I Myself conceived? That Work is still Me.
This foolish world, how to save it? Against its own freedom of wanting to break My Work and destroy itself later.
JNSR: I see GOD, the paintbrush in His Hand, ready to intervene.
"My GOD, my GOD, please don't do it! A single stroke of that brush and we are no more, and with us, all Your Work. Have Mercy My GOD!"
that GOD needs to fix this mess. He again, must reestablish His Creation to perfection, as it was designed to be divine. Action must be taken quickly, for matter can stand no longer the Times that are coming; it must disappear with all its subjects, all the creatures.
Since, by all means, it is running to its destruction. GOD: I must redo this painting, Of My Own Substance which is indestructible, and then, do this painting in Myself, so that it will live eternally, protected, and being My delight, instead of being a part of My despair. It will live, this New World, in "My Holy Will". I will give it "My Knowledge".
And so, GOD took this whole fresco which was away from Him, made it to be the delight of His Eyes, and entered it in Himself, after being through its "purification". It then became the delight of GOD, for he who sees GOD, becomes like Him.
AMEN!
Today, the shaky Scene of the entire World is living its final hours of impertinence towards its Creator.

CONTINUE TO PRAY
ONCE AGAIN, MY DEAR CHILDREN, I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT SATAN WANTS ALSO THIS WORLD TO CHASTISE. HE WANTS TO DESTROY ALL THE GOOD, NOT THE EVIL, AND AMONG GOD'S CHOSEN TO CREATE MORE UPHEAVAL.
HE IS MORE CUNNING THAN YOU WOULD EVER SUSPECT, YET HE'LL MENTION NOT THE ROSARY WHICH HELPS YOU TO PROTECT. HIS INTENTIONS, MY DEAR CHILDREN, APPEAR SO APPEASING THAT IS WHY THE NUMBER OF GOD'S FLOCK CONTINUES DECREASING.
SOMETIMES YOU MAY NOT LIKE THE WORDS YOU ARE READING, YET YOU CANNOT CONSUME WHAT TO YOU SATAN'S FEEDING. IT IS NOT, MY DEAR CHILDREN, JUST A MATTER OF TASTE, BUT IT SHOULD BE AS GOD WANTS TO MAKE YOUR HEARTS CHASTE.
GOD DOES NOT WANT ONE SOUL HE CREATED TO LOSE; SO CONTINUE TO PRAY AND YOUR ROSARY TO USE. FOR THOSE, MY DEAR CHILDREN, WITH THEIR ROSARY IN HAND WILL WALK THRU THE RAINBOW TO THE NEW PROMISED LAND.
"THY WILL BE DONE" 4-2-2009
Vision to littlest of servants April 3rd & 4th While in Church both mornings while praying in front of the BLESSED SACRAMENT I received the following vision. I received this vision both mornings. I was in the pew praying and I saw OUR LADY standing right next to my pew.
SHE came as OUR LADY OF FATIMA with HER IMMACULATE EXPOSED.
SHE spoke to me and told me that HER SON has asked that REPARATION be made to HER IMMACULATE HEART for the GREAT OFFENSE OF ABORTION.
That HER IMMACULATE HEART was being LACERATED on a daily basis by this GREAT ABOMINATION.
That what had been asked by HER and HER SON at FATIMA many years ago still holds true today, except the OFFENSES ARE MUCH GREATER.
The things that OUR LADY asked for are, THE COMMUNION OF REPARATION OF THE FIRST SATURDAYS, TO CONFESS AND RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION, AND TO RECITE FIVE DECADES OF THE ROSARY WHILE KEEPING OUR LADY COMPANY FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES WHILE MEDITATING ON THE FIFTEENMYSTERIES OF THE ROSARY WITH THE INTENTION OF MAKING REPARATION TO HER IMMACULATE HEART.
REMEMBER HER PROMISE AT FATIMA "IN THE END, MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMP...AND A PERIOD OF PEACE WILL GRANTED TO THE WORLD."
Corrections to Message to Christina Gallagher March 29,2009 Apologies for delay in correction of typing errors in Our Lady’s message.
It is now over 20 years since Our Blessed Mother’s first apparition to Christina Gallagher. Our Lady’s call was not new. It was simply the call of Her Son in the Gospel -a call to come back to God, a call to repentance. It was a call to prayer from the heart through Her most beautiful Rosary. In the course of the past 20 years, God has powerfully upheld everything in Our Lady’s message as announced by Christina. She was frequently shown world events before they took place and all events shown to Christina have invariably been fulfilled;?
Earthquake in IRAN
As related in her autobiography (Out of the Ecstasy and Onto the Cross p11) she was shown an earthquake three weeks before it took place in Iran, killing 5,000 people. She told her spiritual director. When it occurred and was shown on television news, Our Lady explained to Christina that she had been shown the calamity before it took place, not to prevent it but to prepare the souls of the people for God.
War in RWANDA In early 1993, one year before the horrible war in Rwanda, Christina received an apparition (Out of the Ecstasy and Onto the Cross, p.11) in which she was asked by an African boy (unknown to her) named Emmanuel Segastashya, "Pray for me and my country, Burundi." - a country she had never heard of. It was only the following year when the slaughter of the war in Rwanda broke out and engulfed neighboring Burundi and among the countless victims of the massacres was Emmanuel - a visionary in Church - approved apparitions there - that the reason became clear to Christina.
War in CHECHNYA
On December 26, 1992 Christina had an apparition of the war that broke out approximately two years later in Chechnya. She made known, as usual, in advance what was shown to her. (Out of the Ecstasy and Onto the Cross, p.262). ?
Attack on TWIN TOWERS, NEW YORK
While in New York to address a Rosary Rally at Battery Park on September 11, 1999 Christina prophesied that the Twin Towers would be destroyed. She made the statement in the presence of a number of people including a US judge, a Canadian attorney, a radio broadcaster, and her spiritual director. One of these, Judge Dan Lynch, an American Judge, wrote an article on the matter and made it more widely public.
Tsunami in the INDIAN OCEAN On a number of separate occasions, the first being eight years before the Indian Ocean tsunami disaster - the massive undersea earthquake which smashed into nine countries across Asia on December 26, 2004 killing approximately one quarter of a million people - Christina was shown the exact tsunami scene taking place on a beautiful sandy beach with the wave washing in over houses and leaving corpses strewn on the beach as it swelled out again to sea.
She did not have the word 'tsunami' as it was not in ordinary use then but she published what was shown her in her biography which appeared as far back as 1996. Christina would lament and cry bitter tears on seeing these scenes in advance for she knew how Our Lady had been trying since the beginning of Her apparitions to warn the world on how to prevent such disasters.
Her calls were widely ignored and even ridiculed. On CNN News and on RTE news bulletins in Ireland, December 29th and 30th scientists were quoted as saying, All we can say is that the sea-bed shifted from its axis .
They were actually using the exact words of warning Our Blessed Mother had spoken to Christina on July 16, 2002 (published then on the web-site)...I tell you the world has been drawn short of its axis. It is clinging to the Hand of God to uphold it through Jesus...' Not only did the foretold happening occur but was even described afterwards by scientists in the very terms predicted by Our Lady.
Weather changes throughout THE WORLD
Long before weather patterns began to alter, Our Lady was warning us of what has now become widespread throughout the world. As far back as January 1, 1995 She declared, '...My daughter, the world is in its decline! World purification has begun. It will intensify more and more.
The weather will be so changeable: heat to cold to ice: rainstorms like the world has not witnessed: hurricanes, floods, earthquakes even in unexpected countries: mudslides, disasters throughout the world will increase when the Hand of My Son covers the world... This message's widespread fulfillment is, of course, a matter of historical record.
Collapse of the STOCK MARKET
On January 23, 2006, Christina was told by Our Blessed Mother that the works She had desired 'should be completed at once as there will be a collapse in the stock market'. This message, given to Christina by Our Blessed Mother at the height of the economic boom in 'celtic tiger' Ireland as it was then called seemed incredible even to some devotees of Our Lady's message! Ireland was the economic envy of the world because of the enormous strength of the national economy and its highest-ever living standards.
We were being held up as the perfect example of material prosperity and for anyone to speak or even think of economic collapse seemed absurd and ridiculous. Yet, against all the odds and despite the complacency of experts the message of Our Lady to Christina was, as always, once again resoundingly fulfilled.?
ONE WORLD Currency, ONE WORLD Bank, ONE WORLD Government and ONE WORLD Church
As far back as 1992 Christina was told by Our Blessed Mother that a uniting of currencies would come about in Europe (Out of the Ecstasy and Onto the Cross, pg 329) and following that, in the world. The former has of course already occurred as of March 2009, a number of world political leaders are calling for a world regulation of banking, and even a single world currency.
We can, therefore, now see a global bank and uniting of currency about to come into being. Swiftly we will see a total control of people being put in place through the use of the chip which will be nothing other than the mark of the beast mentioned in the Scriptures (Book of Revelations, chapter 13). Those who take it will lose their souls permanently as revelation states. Then there will be put in place a one world Church which will not be Christian.
Message upheld by HEALINGS
Over 500 healings have been recorded. These include 10 different forms of cancer, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, blindness, instantaneous clearance of blocked carotid arteries among several other conditions. Some already have received exhaustive in-depth analysis and been found by consultants and medical professors to have 'no human, scientific, medical or psychological explanation'.
Message upheld by the Gift of Knowledge of SOULS
God's gift of seeing a person's state of soul was given to Christina as she ministered to priests. It is probably best summed up by a Jesuit theologian from London who first visited her 20 years ago. He later wrote of his experience, 'This remarkable Irishwoman demonstrated beyond any doubt that she possessed a sort of x-ray vision into my private world of conscience and moral striving. She could read the secrets of my heart. She could witness within me that hidden arena where, as is the case with everyone, warfare is waged non-stop between good and evil, truth and falsehood, light and darkness. Though aware that other priests had a similar experience, I was nonetheless bowled over when Christina Gallagher proceeded to discern with clinical precision the weaknesses and strengths of my world within'. (Dr. Richard Foley, S.J., Preface, The Sorrow, the Sacrifice and the Triumph by Dr. Tom Petrisko)
The following is the latest experience given to Christina by Our Lady Queen of Peace on March 29th 2009
The birth-pangs are over. The world is handed over to the anti- Christ.
Civil war will break out in the United States and many will fight and kill each other. Christina was shown a scene of what will take place, the weapons being used and the blood flowing. The horror was over powering for her. Christina was then allowed to witness the explosion of a bomb which will be dropped on America. Its impact was horrific. She was shown that an earthquake will follow some time later. (She, herself believes that the earthquake will be a direct consequence of the bomb.)
The events in the U.S. will also filter throughout Europe and then throughout the world. A great suppression will come about.??
Many, including Church authorities will go willingly in union with the anti-Christ because of the control he wields. Christina was shown how God desires to protect the handing on of the faith throughout the times that are to follow. Christina was shown how the Holy Father is suffering. There is much rebellion and hatred against him even within the Church. She was then shown the global Church descending into a great blackness and exuding misty vapour. This scene was surrounded by a multitude of angry demons wanting to get rid of the Church and Christianity.
Christina was then shown Blessed Michael, clad in red and gold and holding his sword upright. Behind him could be seen Our Blessed Lady and a multitude of angels in red, in haste to do battle with the adversary.
Pestilence will accompany the civil war and the suppression. Mosquitoes will carry all kinds of new diseases. Locusts such as have never been seen before will form a plague; it will seem as those themselves have an evil intent, almost as if they have an awareness that they are to wreak destruction.
The only hope for people in the U.S. to gain the graces of protection as invited by Our Blessed Lady is to be in the state of grace and draw from God’s graces through Her promise by going to pray frequently in Her Chain Houses and upholding them- now beforehand- as it will be too late for them when these events have begun to happen.
As messenger, Christina says it is heartbreaking for her to give this message and yet she has no option but to do so. She gives it in response to Our Blessed Lady despite her knowing that she will be mocked and ridiculed for doing so. However, it is up to each one to choose whether they accept or reject it.

Our Lady's words to Christina for the anniversary, July 16th 2008, "Everyone of you can see around you the disintegration of faith in God and the decline of the world.
I desire that you study My messages in which I prepared you for these times and foretold what has now come upon you. I desire My children to read those messages in which I tried to protect you from the dangers which now surround you.
There is nothing more to be said."
4th Message to J.N.S.R. Jan.4, 2009 GOD dwells in the heart of every human being.
January 4, 2009 JNSR: What GOD did through LOVE for everyone, is exactly what everyone does (or must do) out of love for GOD, when they leave the earth. They rejoin GOD, for All return to GOD.
The Heart of Man is a compass whose needles are constantly turned towards GOD.
The Heart of "GOD of LOVE" is conceived to shelter man.
It is this magnet whose magnetic field draws everyone to Him.
When the Time came to save mankind, Mary only had to say "YES". The Holy Virgin was ready to welcome the SAVIOUR of the World.
She was like the extension of the Heaven of Glory , She was the Holy Divine and Immaculate Conception, already informed by GOD to receive GOD, so as to get Him ready to be "the Son of Man" on Earth.
GOD is amongst mankind.
The Holy Spirit deposited the Verb of GOD in the womb of the Virgin Mary, and the Verb was made flesh and dwelt among us, this Son of man is truly GOD, He is His Verb become flesh.
He is the visible GOD, the GOD of the LIVING. The GOD who spoke to Moses, the GOD who became man so that Man may become GOD. The Father gave Him All His Authority.
Here is the Ultimate Revelation: In the DIVINE is found the Human. In the Human also dwells the DIVINE. He is FATHER, He is SON, He is SPIRIT, in a One and Unique GOD.
A pregnant woman is always one woman by herself, until the birth of her child when they become two persons and even three if we count the father.
GOD with His Verb within Him and even out of Him, for the Word is roaming, it sings, it fascinates, it educates, it appeases.
But GOD and His Verb is the One and Same GOD.
And the Verb became Flesh, to atone for Man's sin and to give His human body to the Cross, to be the martyr of the original sin, so that His brother may be relieved from condemnation. And that the NAME of the Father may not be sullied and questioned, so that the debt incurred by the original sin may be totally remitted. The Son of GOD, the Verb of GOD gave His own flesh of Divine Man to die on the Cross, thereby annihilating with this virgin flesh, the sins it bore from all men, past, present and future.
The sacrificial Lamb of GOD emptied of every last drop of His Divine Blood, has just come to open the door of Heaven, which was locked since the origin of the World.
Now GOD's Name is still YESHOUA but is written YHShWH.
GOD "Yeshoua" is written "YHShWH" since Christ came: YHShWH, for the Sh added to the Hebrew letter, indicates the Humanity of GOD.
And Y is the letter indicating the Father.
The letter H, twice, indicates the Spirit, because it is double in the sign of the Cross. It goes from the Father to the Son. The W is to indicate the Divinity of Jesus, the Verb of GOD.
The Humanity of GOD - SH - indicates GOD become man Yeshoua, YHShWH,
From Father He made Himself SON. From SON He made Himself Man. From Man He made Himself Bread, the Bread of Suffering on the CROSS, so as to give Himself to every human.
The Holy Eucharist For Christmas, My Holy NATIVITY, Man!
You are invited to come and adore your GOD. who makes Himself so vulnerable that He dares say to you:
"See, I desired, like you, to have a Father, so as to look like Him. That is why I became the SON of this GOD of LOVE for everyone. I desired, like you, to have a Mother, for even God has that great need, in order to be consoled in her arms. I wanted to be King, without a crown, without a throne, without a sword, only for you. For you, so that you elevate yourself with Me. For you, I AM your Father, your Brother, and your King. I chose to die on a CROSS, the one lever that can elevate you to Me, For you, to offer you the best place.
I AM the Risen One!
I too would like, for one thing only, to resemble you, for man alone can adore Me and pray to Me very intently, and sing because I AM your CREATOR.
When you see Me in sorrow and suffering, with joined hands, and My eyes fixed on Heaven, it is that I AM praying to My Father who is in ME, as He is in you. And like you are in US, in the Father, in the Son with the Spirit.
I AM the SON of Man and every man has GOD in him. Yes, Jesus prays to His Father who is in HIM. Amen.
Where is the Mystery?

Lec-What I Heard - April 4, 2009
April 4. 2009
6:45 A.M.
Son, receive my anointing and hear my words. I AM not going to belabor anymore the fact that very soon the great events will be witnessed by everyone and many who do not watch or simply shunned hearing words of warning will be shocked not only to witness but actually experience the effects of what are going to take place in the world.
I am not to cause fear as my greatest concern is for people who listen to my words to give the highest priority in the use of their time to gain what will earn merits for the soul in eternity. Reduce time for entertainment and use part of it to pray, do penance, worship and do good works.
Share knowledge on how time on earth can be used for the attainment of sanctity for the soul.
On the last sentence sounding like a directive, the thought of Devotion to the Divine Mercy came to mind. Checking on the small booklet on the first page I feel that what is stated below would satisfy what is asked. Lec
The church teaches us to be merciful in various ways:
THE CORPORAL WORKS OF MERCY
1. Feed the hungry 2. Give drink to the thirsty 3. Clothe the naked 4. Shelter the homeless 5. Comfort the imprisoned 6. Visit the sick 7. Bury the dead
THE SPIRITUAL WORKS OF MERCY
1. Admonish sinners 2. Instruct the uninformed 3. Counsel the doubtful 4. Comfort the sorrowful 5. Be patient with those in error 6. Forgive offenses 7. Pray for the living and the dead REMINDER:
The Divine Mercy Novena begins on April 10th and ends on the eve of the feast day, the 18th.
To the celebration of the Feast of Divine Mercy Jesus attached an extraordinary promise:
The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion (on that day) shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet (II, 138).
Souls who spread the honor of My mercy I shield through their entire life as a tender mother her infant, and at the hour of death I will not be a Judge for them , but the Merciful Savior (III,20,21)

"I suffer for you today"
Friday, April 03, 2009
Dear Friends,
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 if 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!"
When Pilate saw that he was not succeeding at all, but that a riot was breaking out instead, he took water and washed his hands in the sight of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood. Look to it yourselves." And the whole people said in reply, "His blood be upon us and upon our children." Then he released Barabbas to them, but after he had Jesus scourged, he handed him over to be crucified. Matthew 27:15-26
Here is the message Our Lord gave Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, "As you can see My trial before Pilate was a farce. Although he said that I was innocent, he had Me scourged and then handed Me over to the soldiers to be crucified. He had a notorious prisoner released instead of Me.
For the scourging the soldiers tied Me to a pillar and stripped Me. Then they started beating Me with long whips with some metal on the tips. This metal would enter My skin and tear out My flesh every time.
At the end I was bleeding all over My body and I was lying on the floor covered with blood. I had no more strength to stand up. After the whipping was over, they placed a crown of thorns on My head driving the thorns into My flesh. Blood poured out of these wounds into My eyes and on the face.
My dear friends, I accepted all this suffering for you because I love you. I am indeed your Savior who paid the price for all your sins. I accepted to suffer and to die on the cross so that you would become My friend and live in union with Me every day. My heart is full of mercy for you, so come to Me and repent of your sins. I will take them all away. Come to the cross today and contemplate Me, Your Savior, as I suffer for you today."
Father Melvin
Mother of God Message of March 25, 2009
"Dear children! In this time of spring, when everything is awakening from the winter sleep, you also awaken your souls with prayer so that they may be ready to receive the light of the risen Jesus. Little children, may He draw you closer to His Heart so that you may become open to eternal life. I pray for you and intercede before the Most High for your sincere conversion. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Our Lady's message to Medjugorje visionary Mirjana Soldo, April 2, 2009:
"Dear children, God's love is in my words. My children, that is the love which desires to turn you to justice and truth. That is the love which desires to save you from delusion. And what about you, my children? Your hearts remain closed; they are hard and do not respond to my calls. They are insincere. With a motherly love I am praying for you, because I desire for all of you to resurrect in my Son. Thank you."
Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 06 - You are all My children
CONFIRMED: MEDJUGORJE SEER RECEIVES ANOTHER MESSAGE MENTIONING 'SIGN OF THE TIMES'
Seer Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo of Medjugorje has received a second message mentioning "signs." We have verified it through a guide who was present.
The visionary, who no longer sees the Blessed Mother every day, receives a monthly messages on the second of every month and the one for April 2 reportedly read:
"Dear Children, I come to you because I wish to show you, by my own example, the importance of prayer for those who have not known the love of God. Ask yourself if you are following me. My children, don't you recognize the signs of the times? Don't you talk about them? Follow me. As your Mother I call you! Thank you for having responded."
One of the eldest of the six seers, who assert apparitions at the famed site since 1981, Mirjana was the first to receive all ten of the secrets designated for each one and in March too relayed a message that for the first time in years seemed to carry prophetic import.
That message -- recorded during her annual birthday apparition on March 18 -- read:
"Dear children! In this Lenten time, I call you to interior renunciation. The way to this leads you through love, fasting, prayer and good works. Only with total interior renunciation will you recognize God's love and the signs of the time in which you live. You will be witnesses of these signs and will begin to speak about them. I desire to bring you to this. Thank you for having responded to me."
The gravity of such language is rare at Medjugorje, where since the 1990s messages have focused almost solely on general spirituality.
Medjugorje - A past message from Our Lady March 25, 1997 "Dear children! Today, in a special way, I invite you to take the cross in the hands and to meditate on the wounds of Jesus. Ask of Jesus to heal your wounds, which you, dear children, during your life sustained because of your sins or the sins of your parents.
Only in this way, dear children, you will understand that the world is in need of healing of faith in God the Creator. By Jesus' passion and death on the cross, you will understand that only through prayer you, too, can become true apostles of faith; when, in simplicity and prayer, you live faith which is a gift. Thank you for having responded to my call."
"In one Spirit we were all baptized into one body . . . and we were all given to drink of one Spirit" (1 Cor 12:13). "The Eucharist, precisely by building up the Church, creates human community" (Art. 24). Offer a parish Holy Hour for vocations to the priesthood and religious life on Holy Thursday. Encourage adorers to pray for seminarians, priests, bishops, cardinals and our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II.
Mother Teresa
I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Apr 9 Temptations against faith and purity are the merchandise offered by the enemy, but do not fear him, rather, despise him. As long as he makes an uproar it is a sign that he has not yet possessed the will. Don't be upset by what you experience through the work of this rebellious angel. Let your will always be contrary to his suggestions, and live tranquilly, because you are not at fault, but rather, you please God and gain progress for your soul (Letters III p426).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Lake Hades is a dangerous fishing area!
"As one makes a study of those who have been caught on the hooks of the devil's fishing line, or who hide behind their freedoms in order to destroy the very source of that freedom, and who are thus particularly gullible for the devil's bait can be reduced to five classes."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
God and Souls. An Act of Oblation.
Before heaven and earth, before all the choirs of Angels, before the Most Holy Virgin Mary, before all the powers of heaven, I declare to the One Triune God that today, in union with Jesus Christ, Redeemer of souls, I make a voluntary offering of myself for the conversion of sinners, especially for those souls who have lost hope in God's mercy.
This offering consists in my accepting, with total subjection to God's will, all the sufferings, fears and terrors with which sinners are filled. In return, I give them all the consolations which my soul receives from my communion with God. In a word, I offer everything for them: Holy Masses, Holy Communions, penances, mortifications, prayers. I do not fear the blows, blows of divine justice, because I am united with Jesus.
O my God, in this way I want to make amends to You for the souls that do not trust in Your goodness. I hope against all hope in the ocean of Your mercy. My Lord and my God, my portion-my portion forever, I do not base this act of oblation on my own strength, but on the strength that flows from the merits of Jesus Christ. I will daily repeat this act of self-oblation by pronouncing the following prayer which You Yourself have taught me, Jesus:
"O Blood and Water which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a Fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You!" (309)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
APRIL 6 - YOU ARE ALL MY CHILDREN
Today Our Lady speaks of our equality in God's sight. In the context of the cure of an Orthodox child, she said:
"Tell this priest, tell everyone, that it is you who are divided on earth. The Muslims and the Orthodox, for the same reason as Catholics, are equal before my Son and I. You are all my children.
Clearly, all religions are not equal, but all men are equal before God, as St. Paul says. It does not suffice to belong to the Catholic church to be saved, it is also necessary to respect the commandments of God while following your conscience." (First Years 1985)
In John's gospel, Christ also speaks of our oneness with God and with each other:
The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that your have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me (Jn;22-23).
Reflection:
Mindful of this call from Christ and his Mother that we be one, united in God's Spirit, let us offer the following prayer for our unity:
Lord Jesus Christ, at your Last Supper you prayed to the Father that all should be one. Send your Holy Spirit upon all who bear your name and seek to serve you. Strengthen our faith in you, and lead us to love one another in humility. May we who have reborn in one baptism be united in one faith under one shepherd. Amen.
Application:

Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 05 - I call you today to complete surrender to God
Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 05 - I call you today to complete surrender to God
"We adore You, Jesus Eucharist. We adore Your body and blood given for us and for all in the remission of sins. ... As we adore You, how can we not think about the many things we should do to give You glory? ... Help us, Jesus, to understand that 'to do' in Your Church, .... it is important above all 'to be', that is, to stay with You in adoration, in Your gentle company." (Pope John Paul II, March 18, 2005).
Mother Teresa
Anyone is capable of going to Heaven. Heaven is our home. Dying is not the end, it is just the beginning. Death is a continuation of life. This is the meaning of eternal life; it is where our soul goes to God, to be in the presence of God, to see God, to speak to God, to continue loving Him with greater love. We only surrender our body in death - our heart and our soul live forever.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Observe well that as long as you are displeased by the temptations you have nothing to fear. But why are you sorry about this, if not because you don't want to experience it? These troublesome temptations come from the evil of the devil. But the displeasure and suffering we experience come from the mercy of God, who, contrary to our enemy's will, draws holy tribulations from malice, through which He purifies the gold that wants to be part of His treasure.
Furthermore, your temptations come from the devil but your suffering and afflictions come from God and Paradise. The mother is from Babilonia, but the children are from Jerusalem. Despise the temptation and embrace the tribulation. No, no, my daughter, let the wind blow, and do not believe the noise of leaves is the blast of arms (Letters III, pp 636-637).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
05-Be righteously angry at wrongs!
"When more get mad, not because they lose money, but because right is ignored and wrong enthroned, then the fires will come back to democracy. And these fires will burn like beacons summoning men to a finer and better world."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html
Once the Lord said to me, Act like a beggar who does not back away when he gets more alms [than he asked for], but offers thanks the more fervently. You too should not back away and say that you are not worthy of receiving greater graces when I give them to you. I know you are unworthy, but rejoice all the more and take as many treasures from My Heart as you can carry, for then you will please Me more. And I will tell you one more thing: Take these graces not only for yourself, but also for others; that is, encourage the souls with whom you come in contact to trust in My infinite mercy. Oh, how I love those souls who have complete confidence in Me. I will do everything for them. (294)
Ask of my faithful servant [Father Sopocko] that, on this day, he tell the whole world of My great mercy; that whoever approaches the Fount of Life on this day will be granted complete remission of sins and punishment.
Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My mercy.
Oh, how much I am hurt by a soul's distrust! Such a soul professes that I am Holy and Just, but does not believe that I am Mercy and does not trust in My Goodness. Even the devils glorify My Justice but do not believe in My Goodness.
My Heart rejoices in this title of Mercy. (300)
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.
APRIL 5 - I CALL YOU TO SURRENDER Today the Blessed Mother speaks of both surrender and joy:
"Dear Children, I call you today to complete surrender to God-to great joy and peace which only God can give. I am with you and I intercede for you every day before God (Monthly Message March 25, 1989).
Christ also speaks of the rewards of abandoning oneself to God:
Peter began to say to him, "Look, we have left everything and followed you. " Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold?" (Mk 10:28-30).
Reflection:
Following Christ, surrendering ourselves to his care, is accompanied by beautiful gifts of the Holy Spirit, chief among them being inner peace. Yet it is a seeming paradox that in abandoning ourselves, placing ourselves totally at God's disposal, we should at the same time experience a profound freedom of spirit. But this is because all our cares, worries, and problems are no longer ours, but the Lord's. We become like trusting children again, confident and safe in the hands of our Father.
Application:
Mindful of Our Lady's message today, surrender yourself again to the Lord, using this prayer composed by St. Teresa of Avila:
Lord, grant that I may always allow myself to be guided by you, always follow your plans, and perfectly accomplish your will.
Grant that in all things, great and small, today and all the days of my life, I may do whatever you require of me. Help me to respond to the slightest prompting of your grace, so that I may be a trustworthy instrument for your honor.
May your will be done in time and in eternity---by me, in me, and through me. Amen.
Message to J.N.S.R Jan.11,2009
The END of My Book is not the OMEGA.
It is the ALPHA of your LIFE in ME.
January 11, 2009
JNSR: GOD is asking me to live, with Him, what I am about to write now, in order to bring His Book to its end.
I love to paint as I love to draw , and I noticed that an artist would often like to enter the painting being done and to be involved with all those characters who make up the scenery to which he gives life.
GOD is the sublime artist who paints and animates this immense fresco which is the Universe. GOD is greater than the Universe, since HE is the One who painted it!
If sometimes I find, in a painting I have just done, that something frustrates me, I remove it with one stroke of the brush, and replace it with something else, or even with some paint. In any case, we cannot leave an empty spot.
When the painting is finished, sometimes, after a period of time, I come back to it and I realize that it needs a finishing touch. And this is how, as long as that painting is where I can see it, I never find it just as I wanted it to be.
And thus, GOD sees His Creation, but He granted it all freedom. He does not touch it, and it became quite imperfect.
GOD: I created this animated picture of the World that keeps on deteriorating itself. I did not create it stable, and it has lost its identity. It no longer knows who has created it, or why it exists! Poor World!
It is my Masterpiece. I must repair it. It is now self destructive. Either I obliterate it all, and I start all over again, or I obliterate the part that is most damaged by wars, massacres, insolent powers, the domination of money and all those fornications.
GOD says to Himself: How could I destroy a part of the Work that I Myself conceived? That Work is still Me.
This foolish world, how to save it? Against its own freedom of wanting to break My Work and destroy itself later.
JNSR: I see GOD, the paintbrush in His Hand, ready to intervene.
"My GOD, my GOD, please don't do it! A single stroke of that brush and we are no more, and with us, all Your Work. Have Mercy My GOD!"
that GOD needs to fix this mess. He again, must reestablish His Creation to perfection, as it was designed to be divine. Action must be taken quickly, for matter can stand no longer the Times that are coming; it must disappear with all its subjects, all the creatures.
Since, by all means, it is running to its destruction. GOD: I must redo this painting, Of My Own Substance which is indestructible, and then, do this painting in Myself, so that it will live eternally, protected, and being My delight, instead of being a part of My despair. It will live, this New World, in "My Holy Will". I will give it "My Knowledge".
And so, GOD took this whole fresco which was away from Him, made it to be the delight of His Eyes, and entered it in Himself, after being through its "purification". It then became the delight of GOD, for he who sees GOD, becomes like Him.
AMEN!
Today, the shaky Scene of the entire World is living its final hours of impertinence towards its Creator.

CONTINUE TO PRAY
ONCE AGAIN, MY DEAR CHILDREN, I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT SATAN WANTS ALSO THIS WORLD TO CHASTISE. HE WANTS TO DESTROY ALL THE GOOD, NOT THE EVIL, AND AMONG GOD'S CHOSEN TO CREATE MORE UPHEAVAL.
HE IS MORE CUNNING THAN YOU WOULD EVER SUSPECT, YET HE'LL MENTION NOT THE ROSARY WHICH HELPS YOU TO PROTECT. HIS INTENTIONS, MY DEAR CHILDREN, APPEAR SO APPEASING THAT IS WHY THE NUMBER OF GOD'S FLOCK CONTINUES DECREASING.
SOMETIMES YOU MAY NOT LIKE THE WORDS YOU ARE READING, YET YOU CANNOT CONSUME WHAT TO YOU SATAN'S FEEDING. IT IS NOT, MY DEAR CHILDREN, JUST A MATTER OF TASTE, BUT IT SHOULD BE AS GOD WANTS TO MAKE YOUR HEARTS CHASTE.
GOD DOES NOT WANT ONE SOUL HE CREATED TO LOSE; SO CONTINUE TO PRAY AND YOUR ROSARY TO USE. FOR THOSE, MY DEAR CHILDREN, WITH THEIR ROSARY IN HAND WILL WALK THRU THE RAINBOW TO THE NEW PROMISED LAND.
"THY WILL BE DONE" 4-2-2009
Vision to littlest of servants April 3rd & 4th While in Church both mornings while praying in front of the BLESSED SACRAMENT I received the following vision. I received this vision both mornings. I was in the pew praying and I saw OUR LADY standing right next to my pew.
SHE came as OUR LADY OF FATIMA with HER IMMACULATE EXPOSED.
SHE spoke to me and told me that HER SON has asked that REPARATION be made to HER IMMACULATE HEART for the GREAT OFFENSE OF ABORTION.
That HER IMMACULATE HEART was being LACERATED on a daily basis by this GREAT ABOMINATION.
That what had been asked by HER and HER SON at FATIMA many years ago still holds true today, except the OFFENSES ARE MUCH GREATER.
The things that OUR LADY asked for are, THE COMMUNION OF REPARATION OF THE FIRST SATURDAYS, TO CONFESS AND RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION, AND TO RECITE FIVE DECADES OF THE ROSARY WHILE KEEPING OUR LADY COMPANY FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES WHILE MEDITATING ON THE FIFTEENMYSTERIES OF THE ROSARY WITH THE INTENTION OF MAKING REPARATION TO HER IMMACULATE HEART.
REMEMBER HER PROMISE AT FATIMA "IN THE END, MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMP...AND A PERIOD OF PEACE WILL GRANTED TO THE WORLD."
Corrections to Message to Christina Gallagher March 29,2009 Apologies for delay in correction of typing errors in Our Lady’s message.
It is now over 20 years since Our Blessed Mother’s first apparition to Christina Gallagher. Our Lady’s call was not new. It was simply the call of Her Son in the Gospel -a call to come back to God, a call to repentance. It was a call to prayer from the heart through Her most beautiful Rosary. In the course of the past 20 years, God has powerfully upheld everything in Our Lady’s message as announced by Christina. She was frequently shown world events before they took place and all events shown to Christina have invariably been fulfilled;?
Earthquake in IRAN
As related in her autobiography (Out of the Ecstasy and Onto the Cross p11) she was shown an earthquake three weeks before it took place in Iran, killing 5,000 people. She told her spiritual director. When it occurred and was shown on television news, Our Lady explained to Christina that she had been shown the calamity before it took place, not to prevent it but to prepare the souls of the people for God.
War in RWANDA In early 1993, one year before the horrible war in Rwanda, Christina received an apparition (Out of the Ecstasy and Onto the Cross, p.11) in which she was asked by an African boy (unknown to her) named Emmanuel Segastashya, "Pray for me and my country, Burundi." - a country she had never heard of. It was only the following year when the slaughter of the war in Rwanda broke out and engulfed neighboring Burundi and among the countless victims of the massacres was Emmanuel - a visionary in Church - approved apparitions there - that the reason became clear to Christina.
War in CHECHNYA
On December 26, 1992 Christina had an apparition of the war that broke out approximately two years later in Chechnya. She made known, as usual, in advance what was shown to her. (Out of the Ecstasy and Onto the Cross, p.262). ?
Attack on TWIN TOWERS, NEW YORK
While in New York to address a Rosary Rally at Battery Park on September 11, 1999 Christina prophesied that the Twin Towers would be destroyed. She made the statement in the presence of a number of people including a US judge, a Canadian attorney, a radio broadcaster, and her spiritual director. One of these, Judge Dan Lynch, an American Judge, wrote an article on the matter and made it more widely public.
Tsunami in the INDIAN OCEAN On a number of separate occasions, the first being eight years before the Indian Ocean tsunami disaster - the massive undersea earthquake which smashed into nine countries across Asia on December 26, 2004 killing approximately one quarter of a million people - Christina was shown the exact tsunami scene taking place on a beautiful sandy beach with the wave washing in over houses and leaving corpses strewn on the beach as it swelled out again to sea.
She did not have the word 'tsunami' as it was not in ordinary use then but she published what was shown her in her biography which appeared as far back as 1996. Christina would lament and cry bitter tears on seeing these scenes in advance for she knew how Our Lady had been trying since the beginning of Her apparitions to warn the world on how to prevent such disasters.
Her calls were widely ignored and even ridiculed. On CNN News and on RTE news bulletins in Ireland, December 29th and 30th scientists were quoted as saying, All we can say is that the sea-bed shifted from its axis .
They were actually using the exact words of warning Our Blessed Mother had spoken to Christina on July 16, 2002 (published then on the web-site)...I tell you the world has been drawn short of its axis. It is clinging to the Hand of God to uphold it through Jesus...' Not only did the foretold happening occur but was even described afterwards by scientists in the very terms predicted by Our Lady.
Weather changes throughout THE WORLD
Long before weather patterns began to alter, Our Lady was warning us of what has now become widespread throughout the world. As far back as January 1, 1995 She declared, '...My daughter, the world is in its decline! World purification has begun. It will intensify more and more.
The weather will be so changeable: heat to cold to ice: rainstorms like the world has not witnessed: hurricanes, floods, earthquakes even in unexpected countries: mudslides, disasters throughout the world will increase when the Hand of My Son covers the world... This message's widespread fulfillment is, of course, a matter of historical record.
Collapse of the STOCK MARKET
On January 23, 2006, Christina was told by Our Blessed Mother that the works She had desired 'should be completed at once as there will be a collapse in the stock market'. This message, given to Christina by Our Blessed Mother at the height of the economic boom in 'celtic tiger' Ireland as it was then called seemed incredible even to some devotees of Our Lady's message! Ireland was the economic envy of the world because of the enormous strength of the national economy and its highest-ever living standards.
We were being held up as the perfect example of material prosperity and for anyone to speak or even think of economic collapse seemed absurd and ridiculous. Yet, against all the odds and despite the complacency of experts the message of Our Lady to Christina was, as always, once again resoundingly fulfilled.?
ONE WORLD Currency, ONE WORLD Bank, ONE WORLD Government and ONE WORLD Church
As far back as 1992 Christina was told by Our Blessed Mother that a uniting of currencies would come about in Europe (Out of the Ecstasy and Onto the Cross, pg 329) and following that, in the world. The former has of course already occurred as of March 2009, a number of world political leaders are calling for a world regulation of banking, and even a single world currency.
We can, therefore, now see a global bank and uniting of currency about to come into being. Swiftly we will see a total control of people being put in place through the use of the chip which will be nothing other than the mark of the beast mentioned in the Scriptures (Book of Revelations, chapter 13). Those who take it will lose their souls permanently as revelation states. Then there will be put in place a one world Church which will not be Christian.
Message upheld by HEALINGS
Over 500 healings have been recorded. These include 10 different forms of cancer, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, blindness, instantaneous clearance of blocked carotid arteries among several other conditions. Some already have received exhaustive in-depth analysis and been found by consultants and medical professors to have 'no human, scientific, medical or psychological explanation'.
Message upheld by the Gift of Knowledge of SOULS
God's gift of seeing a person's state of soul was given to Christina as she ministered to priests. It is probably best summed up by a Jesuit theologian from London who first visited her 20 years ago. He later wrote of his experience, 'This remarkable Irishwoman demonstrated beyond any doubt that she possessed a sort of x-ray vision into my private world of conscience and moral striving. She could read the secrets of my heart. She could witness within me that hidden arena where, as is the case with everyone, warfare is waged non-stop between good and evil, truth and falsehood, light and darkness. Though aware that other priests had a similar experience, I was nonetheless bowled over when Christina Gallagher proceeded to discern with clinical precision the weaknesses and strengths of my world within'. (Dr. Richard Foley, S.J., Preface, The Sorrow, the Sacrifice and the Triumph by Dr. Tom Petrisko)
The following is the latest experience given to Christina by Our Lady Queen of Peace on March 29th 2009
The birth-pangs are over. The world is handed over to the anti- Christ.
Civil war will break out in the United States and many will fight and kill each other. Christina was shown a scene of what will take place, the weapons being used and the blood flowing. The horror was over powering for her. Christina was then allowed to witness the explosion of a bomb which will be dropped on America. Its impact was horrific. She was shown that an earthquake will follow some time later. (She, herself believes that the earthquake will be a direct consequence of the bomb.)
The events in the U.S. will also filter throughout Europe and then throughout the world. A great suppression will come about.??
Many, including Church authorities will go willingly in union with the anti-Christ because of the control he wields. Christina was shown how God desires to protect the handing on of the faith throughout the times that are to follow. Christina was shown how the Holy Father is suffering. There is much rebellion and hatred against him even within the Church. She was then shown the global Church descending into a great blackness and exuding misty vapour. This scene was surrounded by a multitude of angry demons wanting to get rid of the Church and Christianity.
Christina was then shown Blessed Michael, clad in red and gold and holding his sword upright. Behind him could be seen Our Blessed Lady and a multitude of angels in red, in haste to do battle with the adversary.
Pestilence will accompany the civil war and the suppression. Mosquitoes will carry all kinds of new diseases. Locusts such as have never been seen before will form a plague; it will seem as those themselves have an evil intent, almost as if they have an awareness that they are to wreak destruction.
The only hope for people in the U.S. to gain the graces of protection as invited by Our Blessed Lady is to be in the state of grace and draw from God’s graces through Her promise by going to pray frequently in Her Chain Houses and upholding them- now beforehand- as it will be too late for them when these events have begun to happen.
As messenger, Christina says it is heartbreaking for her to give this message and yet she has no option but to do so. She gives it in response to Our Blessed Lady despite her knowing that she will be mocked and ridiculed for doing so. However, it is up to each one to choose whether they accept or reject it.

Our Lady's words to Christina for the anniversary, July 16th 2008, "Everyone of you can see around you the disintegration of faith in God and the decline of the world.
I desire that you study My messages in which I prepared you for these times and foretold what has now come upon you. I desire My children to read those messages in which I tried to protect you from the dangers which now surround you.
There is nothing more to be said."
4th Message to J.N.S.R. Jan.4, 2009 GOD dwells in the heart of every human being.
January 4, 2009 JNSR: What GOD did through LOVE for everyone, is exactly what everyone does (or must do) out of love for GOD, when they leave the earth. They rejoin GOD, for All return to GOD.
The Heart of Man is a compass whose needles are constantly turned towards GOD.
The Heart of "GOD of LOVE" is conceived to shelter man.
It is this magnet whose magnetic field draws everyone to Him.
When the Time came to save mankind, Mary only had to say "YES". The Holy Virgin was ready to welcome the SAVIOUR of the World.
She was like the extension of the Heaven of Glory , She was the Holy Divine and Immaculate Conception, already informed by GOD to receive GOD, so as to get Him ready to be "the Son of Man" on Earth.
GOD is amongst mankind.
The Holy Spirit deposited the Verb of GOD in the womb of the Virgin Mary, and the Verb was made flesh and dwelt among us, this Son of man is truly GOD, He is His Verb become flesh.
He is the visible GOD, the GOD of the LIVING. The GOD who spoke to Moses, the GOD who became man so that Man may become GOD. The Father gave Him All His Authority.
Here is the Ultimate Revelation: In the DIVINE is found the Human. In the Human also dwells the DIVINE. He is FATHER, He is SON, He is SPIRIT, in a One and Unique GOD.
A pregnant woman is always one woman by herself, until the birth of her child when they become two persons and even three if we count the father.
GOD with His Verb within Him and even out of Him, for the Word is roaming, it sings, it fascinates, it educates, it appeases.
But GOD and His Verb is the One and Same GOD.
And the Verb became Flesh, to atone for Man's sin and to give His human body to the Cross, to be the martyr of the original sin, so that His brother may be relieved from condemnation. And that the NAME of the Father may not be sullied and questioned, so that the debt incurred by the original sin may be totally remitted. The Son of GOD, the Verb of GOD gave His own flesh of Divine Man to die on the Cross, thereby annihilating with this virgin flesh, the sins it bore from all men, past, present and future.
The sacrificial Lamb of GOD emptied of every last drop of His Divine Blood, has just come to open the door of Heaven, which was locked since the origin of the World.
Now GOD's Name is still YESHOUA but is written YHShWH.
GOD "Yeshoua" is written "YHShWH" since Christ came: YHShWH, for the Sh added to the Hebrew letter, indicates the Humanity of GOD.
And Y is the letter indicating the Father.
The letter H, twice, indicates the Spirit, because it is double in the sign of the Cross. It goes from the Father to the Son. The W is to indicate the Divinity of Jesus, the Verb of GOD.
The Humanity of GOD - SH - indicates GOD become man Yeshoua, YHShWH,
From Father He made Himself SON. From SON He made Himself Man. From Man He made Himself Bread, the Bread of Suffering on the CROSS, so as to give Himself to every human.
The Holy Eucharist For Christmas, My Holy NATIVITY, Man!
You are invited to come and adore your GOD. who makes Himself so vulnerable that He dares say to you:
"See, I desired, like you, to have a Father, so as to look like Him. That is why I became the SON of this GOD of LOVE for everyone. I desired, like you, to have a Mother, for even God has that great need, in order to be consoled in her arms. I wanted to be King, without a crown, without a throne, without a sword, only for you. For you, so that you elevate yourself with Me. For you, I AM your Father, your Brother, and your King. I chose to die on a CROSS, the one lever that can elevate you to Me, For you, to offer you the best place.
I AM the Risen One!
I too would like, for one thing only, to resemble you, for man alone can adore Me and pray to Me very intently, and sing because I AM your CREATOR.
When you see Me in sorrow and suffering, with joined hands, and My eyes fixed on Heaven, it is that I AM praying to My Father who is in ME, as He is in you. And like you are in US, in the Father, in the Son with the Spirit.
I AM the SON of Man and every man has GOD in him. Yes, Jesus prays to His Father who is in HIM. Amen.
Where is the Mystery?

Lec-What I Heard - April 4, 2009
April 4. 2009
6:45 A.M.
Son, receive my anointing and hear my words. I AM not going to belabor anymore the fact that very soon the great events will be witnessed by everyone and many who do not watch or simply shunned hearing words of warning will be shocked not only to witness but actually experience the effects of what are going to take place in the world.
I am not to cause fear as my greatest concern is for people who listen to my words to give the highest priority in the use of their time to gain what will earn merits for the soul in eternity. Reduce time for entertainment and use part of it to pray, do penance, worship and do good works.
Share knowledge on how time on earth can be used for the attainment of sanctity for the soul.
On the last sentence sounding like a directive, the thought of Devotion to the Divine Mercy came to mind. Checking on the small booklet on the first page I feel that what is stated below would satisfy what is asked. Lec
The church teaches us to be merciful in various ways:
THE CORPORAL WORKS OF MERCY
1. Feed the hungry 2. Give drink to the thirsty 3. Clothe the naked 4. Shelter the homeless 5. Comfort the imprisoned 6. Visit the sick 7. Bury the dead
THE SPIRITUAL WORKS OF MERCY
1. Admonish sinners 2. Instruct the uninformed 3. Counsel the doubtful 4. Comfort the sorrowful 5. Be patient with those in error 6. Forgive offenses 7. Pray for the living and the dead REMINDER:
The Divine Mercy Novena begins on April 10th and ends on the eve of the feast day, the 18th.
To the celebration of the Feast of Divine Mercy Jesus attached an extraordinary promise:
The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion (on that day) shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet (II, 138).
Souls who spread the honor of My mercy I shield through their entire life as a tender mother her infant, and at the hour of death I will not be a Judge for them , but the Merciful Savior (III,20,21)

"I suffer for you today"
Friday, April 03, 2009
Dear Friends,
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 if 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!"
When Pilate saw that he was not succeeding at all, but that a riot was breaking out instead, he took water and washed his hands in the sight of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood. Look to it yourselves." And the whole people said in reply, "His blood be upon us and upon our children." Then he released Barabbas to them, but after he had Jesus scourged, he handed him over to be crucified. Matthew 27:15-26
Here is the message Our Lord gave Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, "As you can see My trial before Pilate was a farce. Although he said that I was innocent, he had Me scourged and then handed Me over to the soldiers to be crucified. He had a notorious prisoner released instead of Me.
For the scourging the soldiers tied Me to a pillar and stripped Me. Then they started beating Me with long whips with some metal on the tips. This metal would enter My skin and tear out My flesh every time. At the end I was bleeding all over My body and I was lying on the floor covered with blood. I had no more strength to stand up. After the whipping was over, they placed a crown of thorns on My head driving the thorns into My flesh. Blood poured out of these wounds into My eyes and on the face.
My dear friends, I accepted all this suffering for you because I love you. I am indeed your Savior who paid the price for all your sins. I accepted to suffer and to die on the cross so that you would become My friend and live in union with Me every day. My heart is full of mercy for you, so come to Me and repent of your sins. I will take them all away. Come to the cross today and contemplate Me, Your Savior, as I suffer for you today."

"The gift of Myself"
Thursday, April 02, 2009
Dear Friends,
Jesus withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself. The crowds heard of this and followed him on foot from their towns. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, and he cured their sick.
When it was evening, the disciples approached him and said, "This is a deserted place and it is already late; dismiss the crowds so that they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves." Jesus said to them, "There is no need for them to go away; give them some food yourselves." But they said to him, "Five loaves and two fish are all we have here."
Then he said, "Bring them here to me," and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over-twelve wicker baskets full. Those who ate were about five thousand men, not counting women and children. Matthew 14:13-21
Here is another message from Our Lord addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, "During My public life, often large crowds followed Me. When I went to a deserted area, they would gather there by the thousands. I would heal the sick and teach them. A number of times I multiplied loaves of bread and fish to feed all these people. I had the Apostles to help Me distribute all this food to the people.
I know for the Jewish people these feeding in the desert brought back to them what happened to their ancestors when they spent forty years in the desert. My Father gave them manna to eat every day. This miracle was to bring them to believe that I was doing the Father's work and in time I would be accepted as the Son of the Father.
For you who are My followers today, this miracle brings you to another miracle, that of the Eucharist. The Eucharist is the food for your soul. I am truly present in the host and in the chalice so that I can come and live in your heart. I would like that all the people of the world would hunger for the Eucharist and come to receive Me regularly. It is the greatest gift that I left you, the gift of Myself. Repent of your sins and come to receive Me every day if it is possible. Come and live in union with Me."

Message to Mirjana on Apil 2, 2009
"Dear children, God's love is in my words. My children, that is the love which desires to turn you to justice and truth. That is the love which desires to save you from delusion. And what about you, my children? Your hearts remain closed; they are hard and do not respond to my calls. They are insincere. With a motherly love I am praying for you, because I desire for all of you to resurrect in my Son. Thank you."
Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 05 - I call you today to complete surrend
NOTE DATE: 2005 Medjugorje seer claims Pope appeared to him
www.spiritdaily.com
A friend of ours close to Medjugorje seer Ivan Dragicevic of Bosnia-Hercegovina writes, "At Ivan's apparition tonight (4/2) Ivan was recommending intentions to Our Lady when the Pope appeared on her left. He was smiling, young and very happy. All in white with a long gold cape. Our Lady said to Ivan: 'this is my son; he is with me.' Personally, I have never seen Ivan so happy."
"We adore You, Jesus Eucharist. We adore Your body and blood given for us and for all in the remission of sins. ... As we adore You, how can we not think about the many things we should do to give You glory? ... Help us, Jesus, to understand that 'to do' in Your Church, .... it is important above all 'to be', that is, to stay with You in adoration, in Your gentle company." (Pope John Paul II, March 18, 2005).
Mother Teresa Anyone is capable of going to Heaven. Heaven is our home. Dying is not the end, it is just the beginning. Death is a continuation of life. This is the meaning of eternal life; it is where our soul goes to God, to be in the presence of God, to see God, to speak to God, to continue loving Him with greater love. We only surrender our body in death - our heart and our soul live forever.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Observe well that as long as you are displeased by the temptations you have nothing to fear. But why are you sorry about this, if not because you don't want to experience it? These troublesome temptations come from the evil of the devil. But the displeasure and suffering we experience come from the mercy of God, who, contrary to our enemy's will, draws holy tribulations from malice, through which He purifies the gold that wants to be part of His treasure.
Furthermore, your temptations come from the devil but your suffering and afflictions come from God and Paradise. The mother is from Babilonia, but the children are from Jerusalem. Despise the temptation and embrace the tribulation. No, no, my daughter, let the wind blow, and do not believe the noise of leaves is the blast of arms (Letters III, pp 636-637).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
05-Be righteously angry at wrongs!
"When more get mad, not because they lose money, but because right is ignored and wrong enthroned, then the fires will come back to democracy. And these fires will burn like beacons summoning men to a finer and better world."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html
Once the Lord said to me, Act like a beggar who does not back away when he gets more alms [than he asked for], but offers thanks the more fervently. You too should not back away and say that you are not worthy of receiving greater graces when I give them to you. I know you are unworthy, but rejoice all the more and take as many treasures from My Heart as you can carry, for then you will please Me more. And I will tell you one more thing: Take these graces not only for yourself, but also for others; that is, encourage the souls with whom you come in contact to trust in My infinite mercy. Oh, how I love those souls who have complete confidence in Me. I will do everything for them. (294)
Ask of my faithful servant [Father Sopocko] that, on this day, he tell the whole world of My great mercy; that whoever approaches the Fount of Life on this day will be granted complete remission of sins and punishment.
Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My mercy.
Oh, how much I am hurt by a soul's distrust! Such a soul professes that I am Holy and Just, but does not believe that I am Mercy and does not trust in My Goodness. Even the devils glorify My Justice but do not believe in My Goodness.
My Heart rejoices in this title of Mercy. (300)
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.
APRIL 5 - I CALL YOU TO SURRENDER
Today the Blessed Mother speaks of both surrender and joy:
"Dear Children, I call you today to complete surrender to God-to great joy and peace which only God can give. I am with you and I intercede for you every day before God (Monthly Message March 25, 1989).
Christ also speaks of the rewards of abandoning oneself to God:
Peter began to say to him, "Look, we have left everything and followed you. " Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold…" (Mk 10:28-30).
Reflection:
Following Christ, surrendering ourselves to his care, is accompanied by beautiful gifts of the Holy Spirit, chief among them being inner peace. Yet it is a seeming paradox that in abandoning ourselves, placing ourselves totally at God's disposal, we should at the same time experience a profound freedom of spirit. But this is because all our cares, worries, and problems are no longer ours, but the Lord's. We become like trusting children again, confident and safe in the hands of our Father.
Application:
Mindful of Our Lady's message today, surrender yourself again to the Lord, using this prayer composed by St. Teresa of Avila:
Lord, grant that I may always allow myself to be guided by you, always follow your plans, and perfectly accomplish your will.
Grant that in all things, great and small, today and all the days of my life, I may do whatever you require of me. Help me to respond to the slightest prompting of your grace, so that I may be a trustworthy instrument for your honor.
May your will be done in time and in eternity---by me, in me, and through me. Amen.
Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 04 - You will encounter God
"For Christians, the greatest gift is certainly Jesus, our salvation. In the Eucharist He wished to remain with us: He became our 'viaticum', that is, our spiritual nourishment along the path of life. He sustains us in trials and difficulties: He makes us firm in hope and in everyday commitments" (Pope John Paul II, Jan. 15, 2005).
Mother Teresa Never let anything so fill you with pain or sorrow so as to make you forget the joy of Christ Risen
Meditations by Padre Pio - Apr 4 I know the Lord permits the devil to make these assaults, because His mercy renders you dear to Him, and He wants you to be similar to Him in the anguish of the desert, the garden and the Cross. But you must defend yourselves, cast aside and despising his evil insinuations in the name of God and Holy obedience (Letters III, p 588).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Not knowing the absolutes of goodness have got us into the mess we're in!
"Democracy today finds it hard to make up its mind on what is right. Communism, on the contrary, made up its mind on what was wrong. All its passions were devoted to evil. Evil today is starting the fires that are burning down the world. Leadership in democracies today cannot be expected to come out of the ashes of spineless indifference."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
The words of Jesus during my perpetual vows: My spouse, our hearts are joined forever. Remember to Whom you have vowed... everything cannot be put into words.
My petition while we were lying prostrate under the pall. I begged the Lord to grant me the grace of never consciously and deliberately offending Him by even the smallest sin or imperfection.
Jesus, I trust in You! Jesus, I love You with all my heart! When times are most difficult, You are my Mother.
For love of You, O Jesus, I die completely to myself today and begin to live for the greater glory of Your Holy Name.
Love, it is for love of You, O Most Holy Trinity, that I offer myself to You as an oblation of praise, as a holocaust of total self-immolation. And through this self-immolation, I desire the exaltation of Your Name, O Lord. I cast myself as a little rosebud at Your feet, O Lord, and may the fragrance of this flower be known to You alone. (239)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
APRIL 4 - YOU WILL ENCOUNTER GOD
In her monthly message for October, 1989, Our Lady said:
"Dear children, today I am also inviting you to prayer.
I am always calling you, but you are still far away. Therefore, from today, seriously commit yourselves to dedicating time to God. I am with you and I wish to teach you to pray with the heart. In prayer with the heart, you will encounter God. Therefore, dear children, pray, pray, pray." (Monthly Message October 25, 1989).
The conditions of quiet and solitude are needed to pray with the heart. In the gospels, Jesus often withdrew to a place of quiet:
The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. He said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no time even to eat (Mk 6:30-31).
Reflection:
Ohiyesa, a Santee Dakota Indian, once said:
In the life of the Indian there is only one inevitable duty the duty of prayer the daily recognition of the unseen and the eternal. He sees no need for setting apart one day in seven as a holy day, since to him all days are God's.
In the past, some of us have suffered from a mentality that tended to reject anything beyond ourselves. Whatever was unseen or eternal remained invisible to us. We were skeptical, scientific, task-oriented, self-centered, unreflective. It was like racing down a country highway at top speed, hardly tuned in to the rich vitality of life that surrounded us. When we stopped the car and explored the terrain, we could suddenly smell the grasses, hear birds singing, perhaps see a whole community in an anthill, or watch a darting squirrel.
Quiet prayer or meditation is not something we create on our own. It is largely a matter of shifting our attention, of being open to the spiritual, to the gentle urgings of the Holy Spirit deep with us. We don't need to force it. We need only to quiet ourselves and listen.
Application:
Today, make an effort to live moment to moment with the Spirit of God. Try to spend some time in a quiet place.
"Do not be afraid"
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
Dear Friends,
Jesus came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, "Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds? Is he not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas?
Are not his sisters all with us? Where did this man get all this? And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house." And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith. Matthew 13:54–58
Here is a message from Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, “I was often rejected in My homeland and especially in Nazareth where I was born. As they knew Me and My family, they could not believe that I could speak as I did and that I had such mighty powers to heal and to bring back the dead to life.
The people looked at Me as just another man. They could not see that I was the Son of God and the Messiah sent by My Father to bring salvation to all the people of the world. Because of their lack of faith, I could not perform many mighty deeds there.
Am I better accepted today than when I lived in Israel? Am I still rejected by the people? I know that there are many people who have accepted Me and they live with great faith and they are My followers. They go to church and they pray every day. They follow the commandments of God and they are always ready to help the poor. These are My beloved disciples whom I bless every day and they live in close union with Me. However, there are many today who have rejected Me.
They fight against Me and My followers. They make fun of Me and the successor of St. Peter. Others are trying to destroy the Church I founded and spread all kinds of lies against Me and My Church. These are even worst than those who opposed Me during My public life.
They follow Satan and his evil ways. Do not be afraid of them because they will not last. I am now making all things new. Believe in Me, your Savior and your Friend. I will never abandon you. I live in you and I will give you the graces you need to stand up for Me. I love you all.”
Father Melvin
Current Message Public Message Our Lady of Emmitsburg To the World through Gianna Sul September 7, 2008 The Vigil of the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Dear little children, praised be Jesus! Thank you, little ones, for praying with all your heart. In this world there will always be inequality of the poor and of the wealthy. But in the next world, God dwells in glory and in equality. What you do in this world, God will reward you according to your deeds in the next. At some point, all can be in glory with Him, but the main key to dwelling in His glory is spiritual poverty. In all humility you must seek meekness and pray with a humble heart. In everything that you do, you must seek humility. Everything that you are gifted is a grace from God and is not of your doing. You alone can do nothing! Those who are poor truly have the upper hand, and it leads more quickly to spiritual poverty. However, there are many wealthy; and these, my children, give in the benevolence of their work. But everything granted is a gift from God whether it is your health, your appearance, your financial means, or even your spiritual component. Everything is from God! If He took that gift from you, you would have nothing! Live in humility now, so that in the next world you are rewarded more quickly this greater gift of reigning in glory with Jesus. A wonderful gift indeed, spiritual poverty, humility of heart! Pray, children. Pray with all your heart, and remember: Whether you are loved in this world or hated, if you are forgotten or if your good name is remembered, it does not matter because God knows. He will never forget you. He will always love you. If you continue to pray with a humble heart, your name is chosen to be among all the saints where a seat in His Kingdom has been reserved for you. So seek only God; and give Him glory, for He loves you. And if you desire to give me a gift, the greatest gift you can give to me is to live in humility and do all your works in Love, for Love, and through Love—that being my Son. Peace to you, as I bless you abundantly with the great gifts of Heaven and graces from the abode of my Son’s Most Sacred Heart. Thank you for responding to my call. Fair use for those in the African Diaspora who would otherwise not be exposed to such 17 U.S.C
