Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Protectress of Africa, you have given to the world the true Light, Jesus Christ. Through your obedience to the Father and the grace of the Holy Spirit, you have given us the source of our reconciliation and our justice, Jesus Christ, our peace and our joy.
Mother of Tenderness and Wisdom, show us Jesus, your Son and the Son of God. Guide our path of conversion, so that Jesus might shine his glory on us in every aspect of our personal, familial and social lives.
Mother, full of Mercy and Justice, through your docility to the Spirit, the Counselor, obtain for us the grace to be witnesses of the Risen Lord, so that we will increasingly become the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Mother of Perpetual Help, we entrust to your maternal intercession the preparation and fruits of the Second Special Assembly for Africa. Queen of Peace, pray for us! Our Lady of Africa, pray for us!

"Follow Me; I am your Savior"
Dear Friends,
Freedom from Sin; Life in God
What then shall we say? Shall we persist in sin that grace may abound? Of course not! How can we who died to sin yet live in it? Or are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life.
For if we have grown into union with him through a death like his, we shall also be united with him in the resurrection. We know that our old self was crucified with him, so that our sinful body might be done away with, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin. For a dead person has been absolved from sin. If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.
We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no longer; death no longer has power over him. As to his death, he died to sin once and for all; as to his life, he lives for God. Consequently, you too much think of yourselves as dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:1 11
Yesterday we had a mostly cloudy day with showers in the afternoon and thunder in the late afternoon and evening. It was very humid for a while. Today it is sunny.
Yesterday I celebrated Holy Mass at the Manor in Alberton at 1:30 p.m. and the chapel was full. I also visited those who are bedridden and gave them Holy Communion. I also visited a woman at home who is very sick with cancer and I prayed with her that Jesus would heal her. I had some visitors yesterday in the morning and in the evening. Today I will celebrate Holy Mass at the little shrine of Our Lady at 7:00 p.m.
Below you will find the message given by Our Lord and Savior to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,
As Christians you have been baptized in My death so that you, too, might live in newness of life. As a baptized person you are to grow in union with Me. Your old self has been crucified with Me so that we might no longer be slaves to sin. You are now people with a new life, so you are to be dead to sin and living for God in Me.
Those who lived to adulthood without Me and without baptism lived in sin and had no way to be saved. However, once you were baptized you put on My own spirit and you were cleansed from sin and I came to live in your heart. If you are united with Me, sin will no longer have a hold on you. You will cooperate with My graces so you will receive the strength to avoid all sin and follow the path I traced out for you. You are called to leave the path of sin and to follow the true way that leads to God. Stay united to Me and you will never return to your old ways. Be alert and do not let the evil one trick you to do what is evil. If you are with Me, I will protect you from the snares of the evil one and you will live each day without giving in to his temptations. Follow Me; I am your Savior.
Father Melvin

Message to Patsy Soto July 26,2009
Sunday, July 26, 2009 - 11:00 pm
Message given to patsy Soto and Fr Melvin from Jesus Approved by Reverend Fr. Melvin Doucett, Monday July 27, 2009 3:00 pm
My dear precious sisters and brothers in our Jesus Mercy, I do not know why I am writing you I actually was on my way to sleep but somehow made a turn to the computer and Jesus gave the following words: . Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
Beloved children of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, I give these words this night to you in great sadness. For though I have given you teachings' for many years now, my words' seem to not reach or touch your hearts. My Novenas touched many as they were being done in your area than when left your area, hearts again closed.
My Medal Mission given to you for many to be saved from the temptations to the great epidemic of suicide in your world only to be put aside. Just as My Teachings' have been put aside. My little one sits alone each night doing the novena but not really alone for just as Our Presence was promised at every novena our presence is here at the novena being done at My House of Prayer.
And though our Presence is and has been shown in many novenas and will continue at each novena they also are not being invited to other areas. I have said many times, unless you see or hear for yourself my words, touch my wounds, as My doubting Thomas you do not make the effort to attend My Novena for World Peace, or bring My Novena to your areas, and how many are answering My Call to go on My Novena For World Peace Medjugorje Pilgrimage, where your sacrifice can save MANY SOULS FROM BEING LOST ETERNALLY.
If you knew how many souls would be saved by YOUR SACRIFICE TO ATTEND THE NOVENA FOR WORLD PEACE PILGRIMAGE YOUR HEARTS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONTAIN THIS MERCIFUL LOVE. My Medal Mission is almost at a stop with the few faithful that continue to order medals, to say the prayers daily this is why I have not taken away these gifts to the world.
And soon you will realize that the souls that could have been saved through your efforts may have been that one soul you know or knew but was lost, because it was more important to visit with friends, take vacations, get weekend away from your jobs, and be satisfied with Sunday Mass because that is sufficient as your Sunday Obligation.
You do not see the souls being lost to eternal damnation which if you did see the amount of souls that could have been saved by your sacrifice, YOUR TEARS WOULD FILL ALL OF HEAVEN! It is your choice, your free will. I invite you My little one to send this to My Beloved Fr. Melvin that He will be given the words to finish this Message. I love you My little one, thank you for remaining obedient to My Call, your Jesus of Mercy
Dear Patsy,
Thank you for sending the message of Jesus to me. As I was reading it, Jesus gave me these words:
"I call you, My little sister and all My friends, to a renewal of your whole spirit. I want you all to become My close friends through prayer, the Sacraments especially thru the reception of the Holy Eucharist and by going to Mass as often as you can. Do not be taken by the lure of the world, it will only lead you to sin and at the end emptiness.
I am the one who can give you what you need if you accept Me with all your heart and follow Me. If you are far from Me, turn back and come near and let us walk together every day. I love you and I wish to lead you along the right way. I bless you all and I shower My graces upon you. Your Jesus of Mercy,
Father Melvin.

SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH

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!

"Follow Me; I am your Savior"
Dear Friends,
Freedom from Sin; Life in God
What then shall we say? Shall we persist in sin that grace may abound? Of course not! How can we who died to sin yet live in it? Or are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life.
For if we have grown into union with him through a death like his, we shall also be united with him in the resurrection. We know that our old self was crucified with him, so that our sinful body might be done away with, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin. For a dead person has been absolved from sin. If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.
We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no longer; death no longer has power over him. As to his death, he died to sin once and for all; as to his life, he lives for God. Consequently, you too much think of yourselves as dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:1 11
Yesterday we had a mostly cloudy day with showers in the afternoon and thunder in the late afternoon and evening. It was very humid for a while. Today it is sunny.
Yesterday I celebrated Holy Mass at the Manor in Alberton at 1:30 p.m. and the chapel was full. I also visited those who are bedridden and gave them Holy Communion. I also visited a woman at home who is very sick with cancer and I prayed with her that Jesus would heal her. I had some visitors yesterday in the morning and in the evening. Today I will celebrate Holy Mass at the little shrine of Our Lady at 7:00 p.m.
Below you will find the message given by Our Lord and Savior to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,
As Christians you have been baptized in My death so that you, too, might live in newness of life. As a baptized person you are to grow in union with Me. Your old self has been crucified with Me so that we might no longer be slaves to sin. You are now people with a new life, so you are to be dead to sin and living for God in Me.
Those who lived to adulthood without Me and without baptism lived in sin and had no way to be saved. However, once you were baptized you put on My own spirit and you were cleansed from sin and I came to live in your heart. If you are united with Me, sin will no longer have a hold on you. You will cooperate with My graces so you will receive the strength to avoid all sin and follow the path I traced out for you. You are called to leave the path of sin and to follow the true way that leads to God. Stay united to Me and you will never return to your old ways. Be alert and do not let the evil one trick you to do what is evil. If you are with Me, I will protect you from the snares of the evil one and you will live each day without giving in to his temptations. Follow Me; I am your Savior.
Father Melvin

Message to Patsy Soto July 26,2009
Sunday, July 26, 2009 - 11:00 pm
Message given to patsy Soto and Fr Melvin from Jesus Approved by Reverend Fr. Melvin Doucett, Monday July 27, 2009 3:00 pm
My dear precious sisters and brothers in our Jesus Mercy, I do not know why I am writing you I actually was on my way to sleep but somehow made a turn to the computer and Jesus gave the following words: . Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
Beloved children of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, I give these words this night to you in great sadness. For though I have given you teachings' for many years now, my words' seem to not reach or touch your hearts. My Novenas touched many as they were being done in your area than when left your area, hearts again closed.
My Medal Mission given to you for many to be saved from the temptations to the great epidemic of suicide in your world only to be put aside. Just as My Teachings' have been put aside. My little one sits alone each night doing the novena but not really alone for just as Our Presence was promised at every novena our presence is here at the novena being done at My House of Prayer.
And though our Presence is and has been shown in many novenas and will continue at each novena they also are not being invited to other areas. I have said many times, unless you see or hear for yourself my words, touch my wounds, as My doubting Thomas you do not make the effort to attend My Novena for World Peace, or bring My Novena to your areas, and how many are answering My Call to go on My Novena For World Peace Medjugorje Pilgrimage, where your sacrifice can save MANY SOULS FROM BEING LOST ETERNALLY.
If you knew how many souls would be saved by YOUR SACRIFICE TO ATTEND THE NOVENA FOR WORLD PEACE PILGRIMAGE YOUR HEARTS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONTAIN THIS MERCIFUL LOVE. My Medal Mission is almost at a stop with the few faithful that continue to order medals, to say the prayers daily this is why I have not taken away these gifts to the world.
And soon you will realize that the souls that could have been saved through your efforts may have been that one soul you know or knew but was lost, because it was more important to visit with friends, take vacations, get weekend away from your jobs, and be satisfied with Sunday Mass because that is sufficient as your Sunday Obligation.
You do not see the souls being lost to eternal damnation which if you did see the amount of souls that could have been saved by your sacrifice, YOUR TEARS WOULD FILL ALL OF HEAVEN! It is your choice, your free will. I invite you My little one to send this to My Beloved Fr. Melvin that He will be given the words to finish this Message. I love you My little one, thank you for remaining obedient to My Call, your Jesus of Mercy
Dear Patsy,
Thank you for sending the message of Jesus to me. As I was reading it, Jesus gave me these words:
"I call you, My little sister and all My friends, to a renewal of your whole spirit. I want you all to become My close friends through prayer, the Sacraments especially thru the reception of the Holy Eucharist and by going to Mass as often as you can. Do not be taken by the lure of the world, it will only lead you to sin and at the end emptiness.
I am the one who can give you what you need if you accept Me with all your heart and follow Me. If you are far from Me, turn back and come near and let us walk together every day. I love you and I wish to lead you along the right way. I bless you all and I shower My graces upon you. Your Jesus of Mercy,
Father Melvin.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, Protectress of Africa, you have given to the world the true Light, Jesus Christ. Through your obedience to the Father and the grace of the Holy Spirit, you have given us the source of our reconciliation and our justice, Jesus Christ, our peace and our joy.

"Advance on your journey to the Promised Land"
Dear Friends,
God's Just judgment
Therefore, you are without excuse, every one of you who passes judgment. For by the standard by which you judge another you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the very same things.
We know that the judgment of God on those who do such things is true. Do you suppose, then, you who judge those who engage in such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? Or do you hold his priceless kindness, forbearance, and patience in low esteem, unaware that the kindness of God would lead you to repentance?
By your stubbornness and impenitent heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself for the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God, who will repay everyone according to his works: eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works, but wrath and fury to those who selfishly disobey the truth and obey wickedness. Yes, affliction and distress will come upon every human being who does evil, Jew first and then Greek. But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, Jew first and then Greek. There is no partiality with God. Romans 2:1-11
Below is the message of Our Lord given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,
"When I was on earth, I insisted that all My followers stop judging others. St. Paul also wrote about it in his letter to the Romans. You cannot judge properly as you only see the exterior but I am the true judge because I can see the interior of a person and that person's whole life.
Those who judge others will also be judged. However, those who do not judge will not be judged. Do not be selfish and wish to lord it over others, trying to show yourself on a higher plain than those you meet and your neighbours. Be humble and kind to everyone and pray for them and you will be blessed.
I can tell you that those who continuously judge others and do not repent of their sin will be found on My left at the Last Judgment. Repent now of this sin and stop your sinful ways and you will be found on My right on that last day and I will bring you with me to heaven. Begin today to follow Me and you will receive all the graces you need to advance on your journey to the Promised Land."

"Let Her cover you with Her mantle" Dear Friends,
Jesus on the Cross speaks to His Mother
Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I thirst."
There was a vessel filled with common wine. So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth. When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, "It is finished." And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit. John 19:25-30
I give you now the message of Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,
"I spent three hours hanging on the cross in great suffering. I knew that My Mother was standing by the cross with John the Apostle and with Mary Magdalen and other women. Just before I died I spoke to My Mother these words, 'Woman, behold, your son.'
Then I spoke to John saying, 'Behold, your mother.' John stood for all of you who believe in Me. Therefore, I gave My Mother to be your Mother. You now have a great Mother who lives in heaven. She prays continuously for all of you, Her children.
I want you all to have a great devotion to My Mother who loves you with all Her heart and desires that you all reach heaven one day. You cannot love Me as you should if you do not love My Mother. Pray to Her regularly and She will intercede for you. Pray the rosary, the prayer that she loves, and you will be blessed. Accept this wonderful gift of a mother, which I gave you from the cross.
She has come to visit every continent to show you that you are all very special to Her. She calls you all to believe in Me and to give your life completely to Me. She is the cause of many conversions in the world and She is the one who leads you to Me. Let Her cover you with Her mantle of protection to keep you away from the evil one and to give you the graces you need to follow Me. As you love Me, love My Mother too."

Medjugorje Day By Day July 26 - Sts. Joachim and Ann
"He [Jesus] knew that His love was necessary to us. He knew that only in His love could we find our happiness, our joy, our bliss. For this reason He suffered and died to obtain for us Redemption, reconciliation, and eternal life. He knew that His personal presence [in the Holy Eucharist] was necessary for the people of all times and all places who would live after the thirty-three years of His mortal life" (Fr. Lukas Etlin, O.S.B.).
Mother Teresa - True love for our neighbor is to wish him well and to do good to him.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Don't refuse in any way or for any reason to act charitably to all without exception. Go out of your way to do this when you get the chance. The Lord desires it and you must make an effort to do it (Letters 1 p 1353).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Faith is fathomless.
"Faith in a human being is not like sawdust in a doll. You cannot rip it open, shake out the sawdust on a couch, analyze its tree origins, put it back and make a new creature."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Today I heard the words: In the Old Covenant I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts to My people. Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My Merciful Heart.
I use punishment when they themselves force Me to do so; My hand is reluctant to take hold of the sword of justice. Before the Day of Justice I am sending the Day of Mercy. I replied, "O my Jesus, speak to souls Yourself, because my words are insignificant." (1588)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
JULY 26 - Sts. Joachim and Ann
Of holiness and the family, Our Lady says:
Dear children, what joy you give me; you are on the road to holiness! I beg you, help by your witness, all those who do not know hoe to live in holiness. That is why your family must be the place where holiness is born. Help everyone to live in holiness, especially the members of your own family. (Weekly Message July 24, 1986).
And in the Book of Proverbs, advice from wise parents is likened to a beautiful garland: Hear, my child, your father's instruction,
And do not reject your mother's teaching;
For they are a fair garland for you head,
And pendants for your neck. Proverbs 1 :8-9
Reflection:
On this Feast of Joachim and Ann, the parents of Mary, it is fitting to speak of holiness and the family, for that is where the latter is often born and nourished. In a broad sense, to be holy is to be a reflection of God, to possess the characteristics of the divine, especially love. In holiness, love illuminates the whole person; it becomes a living dynamism or energy within us.
Yet love cannot be isolated form the other virtues and usually does not spring up suddenly within us. As the Blessed Virgin said in 1985: "If you live the messages, you are living the seeds of holiness." It is a process, a journey.
This brings us to the family and today's message in which Our Lady says to, « let your family be a place where holiness is born, » and « help your family to live in holiness. » In other words, families are urged to live the messages of prayer, scripture reading, fasting and the sacraments, and then love will be born and nourished within them.
Prayer is essential to holiness and love, as Mary said in 1987: "Pray, because in prayer each one of you will be able to achieve complete love " (and its corollary, holiness).
With holiness alive in our families, we can achieve the good fruits of family life which St. Paul recommends to Ephesians today, and which were evident in the family of Joachim, Ann and their child Mary.
Application:
Is there a holiness within your family? How can you better foster it in the future?
Current Message
Public Message Our Lady of Emmitsburg To the World through Gianna Sullivan October 5, 2008
Little children, praised be Jesus!
Little ones, always remember that Almighty God is merciful, kind and compassionate. He is always there for you. Always remember this, because you have every opportunity at your hand at any moment you desire to give yourself totally to Him, to follow Him, to love Him, to suffer for Him, to be a vehicle of peace, to be Him, to live in Him, and to love as He loves.
Time as you know it is quickly passing. What seemed a year ago to be a year away in your time, now has past. Quickly events and circumstances rush by you. It is hard to grasp even a moment, dwelling in the most perfect Love of God, without being distracted. Many events have unfolded, one after another, without even enough time to focus on one before another happens. Is that not what I have foretold to you?
Make your house in order by prioritizing the necessities of life, those being purity and true love of God, by following Him, being detached, being at peace, removing vices that hinder your relationship with God, and by silencing all types of gossip, slander, malice, and unjustified rejections and persecutions. Be the Light of God!
As you have witnessed, in a moment’s glance you could have all and lose all. What is the value of “life” to you? And to what means will you pursue your desires over that which God desires? You know the Commandments. You know what has been asked of you, morally, ethically, and family-wise. You have been given a gift. There is no need to seek anymore. Please, children, be the Light and love one another. Pray for wisdom and discernment.
As parents, be responsible to bring up your children with good moral values. Help them to be responsible and accountable. Help them to have self-esteem by their doing what is right. Challenge them to achieve, and they will be proud children of God. They are only a gift to you.
All those around you are gifts; and when God deems fit, they return to Him. Use your gifts wisely, and know that I am here with you. I am not leaving, even if you think I am far away. Be prepared. Pray with all your heart, and do not take “life” for granted.
I take your petitions gratefully to God; and through His omnipotent, most glorious and adorable Love and power, all blessings from Heaven are upon you!
Thank you for listening. Please respond.
Reflection by Fr. John B. Wang
Our loving, wise, and solicitous Mother has once more given us some very precious guiding lights.
She begins this message by reminding us of the transitory nature of worldly events. Things are ephemeral. Time passes and vanishes rapidly. All our possessions can be lost in an instant. Our Mother reminds us the only important focus in our own life is God for He is our Pivot, our Center, our Beginning and End. He wants us to live, love, and exist in Him, with Him and through Him. God’s mercy and compassion are always available and He is anxiously waiting for us to respond and come to Him.
God has given us many gifts such as family, children and friends and Our Mother exhorts us to use them wisely. Of course, Our Lady of Emmitsburg is a very special gift. We are so grateful that She reiterates Her decision to not leave us as She continues to guide us.
Public Message
Our Lady of Emmitsburg
To the World through Gianna Sullivan given on Holy Saturday, the Easter Vigil
April 7, 2007 for release on Divine Mercy Sunday April 15, 2007
Little children, praised be Jesus!
What a joy it is to come to be with you! With all your penances and sacrifices, how pleased I am that you give to God the Eternal Father, and to my Son, and to the Holy Spirit, all of who you are! For all that you have done during this Lenten season,
I thank you. I thank you, and with joy I join you in prayer for the fruition of all of your sacrifices. It is a glorious day because it is one on which the whole world joins together to pay homage to the True King, the Authentic God, the One and Only!
When my Son died on the Cross, my heart was torn from Him, and I was in shock. There was complete emptiness in me. I was numb. When I received my Son in my arms, all my emotion poured out; then there was nothing left in me. I wanted to die with Him. In my heart, I did; but I had to remain on this earth for you.
As I opened my hands, I called to the world, "See, there is nothing left in me. Come. Come." I pressed my lips on my Son, and there I found comfort. The world truly will never know the depth and the breadth of your Mother's sorrow until you meet your Creator face to face.
How many of you live now in this world "empty," day by day, without any consolation, and suffering with a sorrowful heart? I join you, for I am with you. But remember this: the hope is there in my Son, for He awoke and resurrected.
He closed His Eyes in sorrow and in pain from what He knew He had done for the salvation of humanity. But then, He opened His Eyes on a new mission, knowing very well that He would have to walk in the world to convince all of His Presence. So it is today, and He knew very well then that the mission and the fight against evil was just beginning. Yet, victoriously He stood and walked.
You too pray, and you know that the waves of torment and frustration crash on you daily, from rebuking people who think you are not of God, that you are fraudulent, criminals and deceivers. You close your eyes. You leave it to my Son at the Cross. Then you open your eyes, and you also know to move valiantly ahead on a mission.
It is most sorrowful and sad that there are those, especially if they are clergy, who exhibit spiritual jealousy; but there are many who walk in this way. They do not realize the great gift that awaits them, and that their useless energy could be spent on doing good to build up, not to tear down.
I love you. I thank you so much for being with me and walking my way. Thank you for not turning away, but for knowing that there is much work to be done, all for the greater glory of God. Praise be to His Most Glorious Name! Thank you, little ones. You are so special in my heart, just as my Son had a special one of the apostles (John) in His
Heart. I will always be there for you; and know this: My Son is alive!
He is no longer at a distance.
He is with you, and in you, and all around you!
Everywhere, He is with you!
Take courage. Never despair. Move forward. We shall win, because God the Father deems it so. He created your soul for this very moment. The greatest thing that you can do in your life is now about to unfold!
Peace.
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!

GALASIUS I, I am Gelasius (Galasius), the African born in Rome, Latin Rite Pope. I was elected as chief priest of the Latin Church, Archbishop of Rome, in 492 A.D. and among the first serving as Vicar of Christ. Previously, I served as Felix the Third’s archdeacon. My administration saw stresses n relations with The Eastern Emperor of the formerly Roman empire, Anastasius I.
I taught the separation of spiritual and earthly powers. The former is superior the temporal later. I despised teachings with which I vehemently disagreed (e.g. the Henoticon).
I banned Christian involvement in the Lupercalia, pagan celebration. And, yes, I caused to be torched the books of the Manichean heresies. The 5th century year 496 A.D. saw the sunset of my life.

When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, Woman, behold, your son.Then he said to the disciple. Behold, your mother. And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, I thirst.There was a vessel filled with common wine. So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth. When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, “It is finished.And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit. John 19:25–30
We had a sunny day yesterday and there was a little wind. Today although the forecaster announced rain it is still sunny this morning.
I gave four talks yesterday to those who are here for the retreat. In the evening we all went to the Immaculate Conception Church here for a Healing Mass. There was a large crowd present. There were three priests to pray with the people for healing. The retreat will continue this morning and all will meet at 9:30 a.m. We will end with Holy Mass at noon. I will celebrate Holy Mass tomorrow Saturday at 9:30 a.m. as usual.
I give you now the message of Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I spent three hours hanging on the cross in great suffering. I knew that My Mother was standing by the cross with John the Apostle and with Mary Magdalen and other women. Just before I died I spoke to My Mother these words, Woman, behold, your son. Then I spoke to John saying, Behold, your mother. John stood for all of you who believe in Me. Therefore, I gave My Mother to be your Mother. You now have a great Mother who lives in heaven. She prays continuously for all of you, Her children.
I want you all to have a great devotion to My Mother who loves you with all Her heart and desires that you all reach heaven one day. You cannot love Me as you should if you do not love My Mother. Pray to Her regularly and She will intercede for you. Pray the rosary, the prayer that she loves, and you will be blessed. Accept this wonderful gift of a mother, which I gave you from the cross.
She has come to visit every continent to show you that you are all very special to Her. She calls you all to believe in Me and to give your life completely to Me. She is the cause of many conversions in the world and She is the one who leads you to Me. Let Her cover you with Her mantle of protection to keep you away from the evil one and to give you the graces you need to follow Me. As you love Me, love My Mother too.

"Become a living member of My Kingdom and My Church"
Dear Friends,
Thanksgiving to God
First, I give thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is heralded throughout the world. God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in proclaiming the gospel of his Son, that I remember you constantly, always asking in my prayers that somehow by God’s will I may at last find my way clear to come to you. For I long to see you, that I may share with you some spiritual gift so that you may be strengthened, that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by one another’s faith, yours and mine. I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, though I was prevented until now, that I might harvest some fruit among you, too, as among the rest of the Gentiles. To Greeks and non-Greeks alike, to the wise and the ignorant, I am under obligation; that is why I am eager to preach the Gospel also to you in Rome. Romans 1:8–15
We had a mostly rainy day yesterday and it was humid. This morning the sky is clearing and the sun should be out shortly. The humidity is gone.
I celebrated Holy Mass yesterday morning at the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island. At 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon I started the retreat. A good group attended with people as far away as Kansas. There are some from Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and P.E.I. Last evening most of them were at the prayer meeting at our church. It is a long time that we had so many people at the gathering. We were around 50 people and I believe every person enjoyed the one hour of prayer. This morning I will continue the retreat starting at 9:30 a.m. and this evening we will all go to the Immaculate Conception Church for the Healing Mass.
Here is a message from Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words:
“St Paul the Apostle wrote many letters to the Christians in various cities of his time. He especially wrote about Me. His letter to the Romans shows his great love for these people and his great desire to come and visit them. He was indeed eager to go and preach the Gospel to all the countries around. He is an example for all of you of a man with great faith. He did not fear suffering or persecution. All he cared for was to make Me known to the people.
My dear friends, I desire you all to have great faith just like St. Paul. May you believe with all your heart that I am your Savior who came to rescue you from darkness and emptiness and to bring you into the light of My Kingdom. I want you all as My friends who know Me as the only Savior of the world. Become a living member of My Kingdom and My Church and you will have peace in your heart. Be an example to all the people you meet of a convinced Christian who puts Me first in your life. I bless you all.â€

Jesus Comforts Us In Sorrow!
Today and before I begin sharing Jesus' message, I must first share with you how this message came to us.
For the past several days, and after hearing on TV News about a little girl (two or three years of age) was suffocated in her bed by a python, I had a lot of sorrow for her. Always in my prayers, I pray for the children! They are innocent little babies. And when I could not sleep with these feelings gnawing at me about this child and all the other innocent children who are kidnapped, raped and murdered, often at the very hands of their parents, I implored Jesus to help me to reconcile this.
At adoration I spent time alone with Jesus and prayed for all those with special needs and intentions. I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and made an Act of Contrition. I read from a special book I had brought with me about the indulgences attached to saying the rosary and promised to say the rosary more frequently.
On my knees I prayed to Jesus to block out all distraction and help me to focus only on Him and to only hear in my heart or see in my mind what comes directly from Him.
Then I prayed, Speak Lord (only and always if it be His will), Your servant listens. Jesus immediately responded to my prayer saying: My child Eileen, Come with Me.
I could see Jesus reaching down His right arm and taking me by my right hand, leading me up toward the heavens. Then I was led to the throne of God the Father.
God spoke to me saying: “Do not attach yourself to the ways of the world. The earth is comprised of dirt and gold, it is cold and hard. Little children who suffer and die in the few minutes it takes to die, will spend eternity in the lap of My Son Jesus. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.
Discernment here to me is God once again telling us not to be concerned with the death of our bodies, but to work toward saving our soul. v Medjugorje Day By Day July 25 - GIVE ME YOUR DIFFICULTIES
"Especially from the Eucharist, as from a font, grace is poured forth upon us; and the sanctification of men in Christ and the glorification of God, to which all other activities of the Church are directed as toward their end, is achieved in the most efficacious possible way" (Sacrosanctum Concilium).
Mother Teresa - Jesus is the Light Jesus is the Truth Jesus is the Life
Meditations by Padre Pio - Fight like a strong soul if you wish to obtain the reward of strong souls (Letters III p 409).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - There is no substitute for Faith "Even when psychoanalysis does effect what it calls a `transference' of the mental state, it never appeases the hunger of the soul for something spiritual and beyond self to adore and worship."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - You have surrounded my life with Your tender and loving care, more than I can comprehend, for I will understand Your goodness in its entirety only when the veil is lifted. I desire that my whole life be but one act of thanksgiving to You, O God. (1285) Most sweet Jesus, set on fire my love for You and transform me into Yourself. Divinize me that my deeds may be pleasing to You. May this be accomplished by the power of the Holy Communion which I receive daily. Oh, how greatly I desire to be wholly transformed into You, O Lord! (1289) My God, despite all the graces, I long cease to be eternally united with my God; and the better I know Him, the more ardently I desire Him. (1303)
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 vPress. July 25 - GIVE ME YOUR DIFFICULTIES
Today the Madonna asks that we surrender our problems and anxieties to her:
Dear children, tonight your Mother is happy to see you. I especially ask you tonight to give me your problems and difficulties, so that you will be able to pray with more joy and freedom and thus your prayer will be from the heart. That is why I ask you tonight to free yourselves from your troubles through prayer. Know that I am with you, dear children, and that I need your prayers (Visionaries Prayer Group November 5, 1990).
And in Luke's gospel, the prodigal son reaches the end of his rope and surrenders to his father's care:
So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. Then the son said to him, « Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to called your son » (Lk 15 :20-21).
Reflection:
Unfortunately, some of us need to hit bottom before we awaken to the real meaning and purpose of life. The prodigal son's errant attitude was based on a desire to live as selfishly as he pleased. That attitude is not so different from the desires of a great many people in our society today. It may take great sorrow and tragedy to cause them to look to God for true fulfillment peace.
In Alcoholics Anonymous, it is said that one of the chief characteristics of the addictive personality is « self will run riot. » Unless the individual can surrender to a « higher power, » and exchange self-will for God's will, the addictive disease will kill him. Alcoholism is far more than a physical addiction to alcohol; it is a degenerative disease of the mind and spirit as well as the body. A new way of living and thinking must replace the old, or there can be no recovery. In the same way, our own spiritual is dependent upon our surrender to the will of God. Like the prodigal son, we will find only acceptance and Love at the hand of our Father.
Application:
As Our Lady urges us today, surrender yourself and all your problems and anxieties to the Lord in prayer.
Ask also for the grace to continue to « let go and let God. »
Medjugorje Day By Day July 24 - PRAY ESPECIALLY FOR PEACE
"He [Jesus] could have endured the agony alone. He could have anticipated
His Passion alone. Indeed, in the end, this is what He had to do. But He chose three to be with Him. He showed that He did not want to be alone. He even came and woke them up, even though He knew that though they were willing in spirit they were just too tired to stay awake, and He lamented to them: 'Could you not watch one hour with Me?' Now, we are the chosen ones . . . . We know how much Christ wants us with Him" (John Haffert).
Mother Teresa - We too must be: the Light of Charity the Truth of Humility the Life of Sanctity
Padre Pio - May the Mother of Jesus, and our Mother, always smile on your spirit, obtaining for it, from her Most Holy Son, every heavenly blessing.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Without Faith it's all psychobabble!
"When religion is strong, it purges the unconscious mind of all those fears and anxieties, those worries and psychoses which psychoanalysis tries to expunge in the soul without faith."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - I am reliving these moments with Our Lady. With great longing, I am waiting for the Lord's coming. Great are my desires. I desire that all humankind come to know the Lord. I would like to prepare all nations for the coming of the Word Incarnate. O Jesus, make the fount of Your mercy gush forth more abundantly, for humankind is seriously ill and thus has more need than ever of Your compassion. You are a bottomless sea of mercy for us sinners; and the greater the misery, the more right we have to Your mercy. You are a fount which makes all creatures happy by Your infinite mercy. (793)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.
July 24 - PRAY ESPECIALLY FOR PEACE
In here monthly message for December, 1990, the Virgin spoke of peace:
Dear children, today I call you to pray especially for peace in the world. Offer sacrifices and good deeds for peace, for Satan is strong and tries with all his strength to destroy the peace which comes from God. Therefore, dear children, pray with me in a special way for peace. I am with you and I wish to help you with my prayers and to guide you on the path to peace. I bless you with my motherly blessing, and ask you not to forget to live the messages of peace (Monthly Message October 25, 1990).
And in Luke's gospel, the angels sing of peace:
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, « Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors! » (Lk 2 :13-14).
Reflection:
Prayer for peace is one of Our Lady's most frequent requests, and so let's simply take her advice, using a prayer written by Fr. Slavko Barbaric, spiritual director to the visionaries:
O Lord of Peace, we praise and glorify you for giving us your son, Jesus Christ. Through him you have reconciled the world to yourself, showing us the deepest love.
Father, grant us your peace so that we might spread it throughout the world. We place ourselves under your protection and pray for those who are suffering wherever there is conflict. We lift up to you those who are destroying themselves through sin and evil, seeking only the happiness of this world.
Lord of Peace, we thank you for the opportunities for peace you have given us in this new age; help us, in the words of St. Francis, to be instruments of your peace.
Through the intercession of our Holy Mother, may we experience and sing within our hearts the song of the angels: »Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth. » May we truly live this peace to your glory, and for the good of all our brothers and sisters. Amen.
Application:
Try to offer Fr. Slavko's prayer one day each week as a family, before or after the evening meal

Do not reject my messages anymore. Take a moment to meditate on whether you really have accepted and lived all that I have told you.
In no other time as the present, have you such need to listen to the voice of your Mother to call you back to the right path. This is why I tell you: pray, make sacrifices and do penance and return to the Sacraments; then, the peace and the joy that every human person desires will come to rest in your hearts.
I love you, I bless you and may the peace of the Lord remain in your hearts.

"Practice your faith openly" Dear Friends,
Paul’s Arrival in Rome
Three month later we set sail on a ship that had wintered at the island. It was an Alexandrian ship with the Dioscuri as its figurehead. We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days, and from there we sailed round the coast and arrived at Rhegium. After a day, a south wind came up and in two days we reached Puteoli. There we found some brothers and were urged to stay with them for seven days. And thus we came to Rome.
The brothers from there heard about us and came as far as the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns to meet us. On seeing them, Paul gave thanks to God and took courage. When he entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him. Acts 28:11-16
Here is a message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,
My great Apostle Paul had much to suffer in his life. After his arrest in Jerusalem, he was kept in prison for some years until he was sent to Rome to be tried by the Emperor. He was in shackles all the time he was in Rome to show that he was a prisoner although he was allowed to live by himself with a soldier. He had done nothing wrong but he was like Me who suffered horribly until My death on the cross.
Although Paul was burdened with these chains, he never stopped preaching the Word of God and talking about Me, your Savior. He traveled around Rome meeting the Gentiles and witnessing about Me.
He first addressed the Jews but many of them did not believe what Paul was telling them about Me. They thought that he belonged to a sect and the government wanted to destroy it. In fact he belonged to My Church and he played a great role in bringing many into My Church. It is a fact that many Christians were persecuted and killed during those days.
You, too, must not be afraid but practice your faith openly wherever you are. Those who acknowledge Me before others, I will acknowledge before My Father in heaven. Be My friend and offer all your sufferings to Me for the conversion of the people of the world. I will fill you with My love and you will have much peace.

"Open your heart to Him"
Dear Friends,
Mary Visits Elizabeth
During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of you womb.
And how does this happen to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled." Luke 1:39-45
Below is the message of Our Blessed Mother addressed to Joseph. She spoke to him in these words,
"I bless you, My son, and I bless all My sons and daughters. I was chosen by God the Father to be the Mother of His only Son, Jesus. It was a great joy for Me to bring the Messiah into the world. When the Angel Gabriel came to announce this news to Me, he also told me that My cousin, Elizabeth, was with child and that she was in her sixth month. I went with haste to her home near Jerusalem to help her during this time.
At My arrival her child leaped in her womb and she was filled with the Holy Spirit. She was inspired to speak words that only God knew, that I was the Mother of the Lord. I was filled with joy and I sang the 'Magnificat.'
God had chosen His lowly handmaid to be the Mother of His Son destined to be the Savior of the world. Later at the cross, Jesus before His death gave Me to you to be your Mother. Now you are all My children for whom I pray continuously. I appear in all continents of the world to call you all to repent of your sins and change your life.
I desire to bring you all to My Son Jesus so that you may believe in Him and follow Him. My dear children, open your heart to Him every day and live in close union with Him. May you be filled with the Holy Spirit and with love to walk with your Lord every day. I bless you all."

Jesus Warns Us Of A Sign To Come!
At the 8:00 A.M. Mass at our parish, I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed for all with special needs and intentions. Prior to receiving the Most Sacred Host in the Sacrament of Holy Communion, I made an Act of Contrition while thanking Jesus for His many gifts and confirming my love for Him.
After receiving the most sacred Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the sacrament of Holy Communion, I knelt in silent commune with Jesus. First I prayed that Jesus remove all distraction and help me to focus only on Him that I might only see with a mind full of Jesus and hear with a heart connected to His heart. On my knees I prayed Speak Lord (only and always if it be His will), Your servant listens.
In my minds eye, I began to see small white clouds being overpowered by darkness!
Then Jesus spoke to my heart saying: My child Eileen, look up and see the sky. See the darkness encompass the heavens. All will know that this is My will as there will be no thunder and/or lightening. All will know that this sign from the heavens is a warning that the time for recompense is near. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.
From Jo Ann Riggio RN I had a revelation this morning
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I went outside this morning to try to focus on Jesus and Mary to do my morning offering ......
Again I still can't seem to focus since Wed .........on the rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet. I believe I am being attacked because I made arrangements to go to Holy Love in Sept and several people may be coming with me.
However when I went over to the rose bush on the side of the house to actually smell the roses, where I have a little garden and I rearranged it yesterday, pulled weeds etc. , these thoughts came to me as I looked at some of the leaves which were yellow with holes (I pruned most of the branches yesterday) :
Although we still have our faults (represented by the holes in the leaves and them being yellow) , God still loves us because eventually they produce a perfect rose. When we keep our eyes on Jesus as the rose bush does reaching towards heaven, and accept the rain as the rose bush does as God's grace , and the warmth of his love as the rose bush does the sun, and realize we need to be firmly planted in Him as the roots of rose bush, WE TOO BECOME THE PERFECT ROSE TO GOD, each with our own fragrance........diverse as there are many types of roses. We become that perfect rose through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother.........she is the one who creates the fragrance.
May each and every rose Our Lady presents to Jesus for us while we are on this earth be preserved in heaven as Our Special Bouquet of Love presented to Jesus when we meet him face to face. Amen.
God Bless
Love

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - We have our divine priorities askew
"At the end of the twentieth century [and now in the 21st] we find ourselves living in an era of superstition in which minds believe everything as fanatics and quacks become shrines of worship and objects of adoration."

With great longing, I gaze upon you, my homeland, When will this, my exile, come to an end? O Jesus, such is the call of Your bride Who suffers agony in her thirst for You.
With longing, I gaze at the footprints of the saints Who crossed this wilderness on their way to the fatherland. They left me the example of their virtue and their counsels, And they say to me, "Patience, Sister, soon the fetters will break."
But my longing soul hears not these words. Ardently it yearns for its Lord and its God, And it understands not human language, Because it is enamored of Him alone.
My longing soul, wounded with love, Forces its way through all created things And unites itself with infinite eternity, With the Lord whom my heart has espoused.
Allow my longing soul, O God, To be drowned in Your Divine Three-fold Essence. Fulfill my desires, for which I humbly beg You, With a heart brimming with love's fire. (1304)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press. -
July 21 - YOUR MOTHER GIVES YOU HER LOVE
Today the Madonna charges us with carrying her love and peace to others:
Dear children, tonight your Mother is happy to see so many of you. Your Mother wishes to give you her love tonight so that you can share it with others when you go back to your homes. Live love.
I wish to give you peace, so you can carry it to others. Realize that you cannot give peace to others if you do not have peace within yourselves. I need you, dear children, to cooperate with me, for today there are many plans that I cannot fulfill without you. I need your cooperation. Pray, Pray, Pray (VPG 7-24-89).
Paul also charges the Thessalonians to build up and encourage one another:
For God has destined us not for wrath but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing (Thes 5:9-11).
Reflection:
When an athlete nears the end of a race, his legs ache, his throat burns, and his whole body cries out for him to quit. This is when supporters are most valuable. Their encouragement helps the runner to push through the pain to the finish.
In the same way, Christians are to encourage one another, as Our Lady and St. Paul urge us today. Encouragement offered at the right moment can make the difference between finishing well or giving up along the way.
There are plenty of nay-sayers around, those who discourage others and point to the bleak side. But to support and affirm others is a much needed ministry, and a calling of the gospel as well. Sharing enthusiasm, giving a sincere compliment, supporting another's project or new idea, are all ways of sharing in the affirming work of the Holy Spirit.
Application:
Look around you today, sensitive to the need of others for encouragement; offer an affirming word or a supportive gesture.
Medjugorje Day By Day July 20 - LOVE YOUR BROTHERS
"Let's suppose that our Lord, Jesus Christ, would be present in only one church in the whole world: for example, in St. Peter's Basilica, in Rome. Oh! What a great amount of peregrines would travel there! With what fervor and devotion they would go to visit! What a beautiful tabernacle would be built! What lighting would be placed there! With what immense respect would respond all who succeeded to get close! Well, Jesus is now in every Catholic Church where there are consecrated hosts!" (St. Alphonsus Liguori).
Mother Teresa - You are to be that presence of Christ to each other. Love each other tenderly as Jesus loves each one of you. Tender love for each other speaks much louder than all the words you can say.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Charity is the yardstick with which the Lord will judge us all (AdFP560).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - No mystery as to why we have missed the Mystery "When minds abandon their concern about final destiny, they substitute for the mystery of what happens after death, the mystery of how someone was murdered. But mystery there must be."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - February 5, 1937. My Jesus, in spite of everything, I desire very much to unite myself to You. Jesus, if this be possible, take me to Yourself, for it seems to me that my heart will burst of longing for You!
Oh, how very much I feel that I am in exile! When will I find myself in the house of our Father, delighting in the happiness that streams from the Most Holy Trinity? But, if it is Your will that I still go on living and suffering, then I desire what You have destined for me. Keep me here on earth for as long as You wish, even though this be until the end of the world. O will of my Lord, be my delight and the rapture of my soul. Although the earth is so filled with people, I feel all alone, and the earth is a terrible desert to me. O Jesus, Jesus, You know and understand the fervors of my heart; You, O Lord, alone can fill me. (918)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
July 20 - LOVE YOUR BROTHERS
Today, a message of love:
Love your Serbian, Orthodox, and Muslim brothers and even the atheists who persecute you (Special Message 1987)
Paul also speaks of the love and unity that marks God's family:
For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us that he might reconcile both groups to God in one body through the cross, thus putting to death that hostility through it (Eph 2 :14-16).
Reflection:
There are many barriers that can divide us from other Christians: age, appearance, intelligence, politics, economic status, race, culture. Unfortunately, we can stifle Christ's love in catering only to those for whom we have a natural affinity.
But Christ broke these barriers and unified all believers into one family. As Paul says today, « But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ » the blood that was shed for all human beings without distinction. Thus the cross is the focus of our unity and our motivation for loving all God's children. As Jesus prayed to the Father at the Last Supper : « The glory that you have given them, so that they maybe one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one » (Jn 17 :22-23).
Application:
Today, pray to the Holy Spirit that he may help you look beyond the barriers of our differences, to the unity that we are all to share.
Medjugorje Day By Day July 19 - GIVE THANKS TO GOD
Of the Holy Eucharist, Bl. Elizabeth of the Holy Trinity writes: "O my beloved Christ, crucified by love . . . O Eternal Word, Word of my God, I want to spend my life in listening to You, to become wholly teachable that I may learn all from You. Then, through all nights, all voids, all helplessness, I want to gaze on You always and remain in Your great light. O my beloved Star, so fascinate me that I may now withdraw from Your radiance."
Mother Teresa - He has shed the light, and you will take His light and lighten every heart you meet.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Charity is the queen of virtues. As pearls are held together by a string, so are the virtues held by charity. And just as the pearls fall if the string breaks, so are the virtues lost if charity fails (CE 11).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Think about what has filled our void today! "An age without faith is an age of superstition. Religious belief is so essential to the heart that once it is cast aside, some false form is called in to fill the void. Unless the house is tenanted with goodness, seven devils worse than the first come in to dwell there."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - The desires of my heart are so great and incomprehensible That nothing can fill the abyss of my heart. Even the most beautiful things, gathered from all over the world, Would not for a moment fill Your place for me, O God.
With one glance, I penetrated the whole world, And I found no other love like the love of my heart. Therefore I looked into the world of eternity- Because this one is too small for me. My heart has desired the love of the Immortal One.
My heart has sensed that I am a royal child, That I have found myself in exile, in a foreign land. I see that the heavenly palace is my home; Only there will I feel as in my own fatherland.
You Yourself have drawn my soul to You, O Lord; O Eternal Word, You Yourself have stooped to me, Giving my soul a deeper knowledge of Yourself. Behold, the mystery of love for which You have created me!
Pure love has made me strong and brave. I fear neither the Seraphim nor the Cherubim, standing with sword in hand, And I pass over with ease where others tremble, Because there is nothing to fear, there where love is the guide.
And suddenly the eye of my soul came to rest upon You, O Lord Jesus Christ, stretched upon the Cross. Here is my Love, with whom I will rest in my grave This is my Bridegroom, my incomprehensible Lord and God. (1632)

- July 19 - GIVE THANKS TO GOD
In the fall of 1989, the Blessed Mother gave a message on gratitude:
Dear children, today I invite you to give thanks to God for all the gifts you have been given in the course of your life. Thank him even for the smallest gifts you have received. I give thanks with you and hope that you will experience joy in all these gifts. I want God to be everything to you. Then, dear children, you can continue to grow in the way of holiness. (Monthly Message September 25, 1989).
Psalm 30 also speaks of giving thanks and praise to God:
You have turned my mourning into dancing;
You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, So that my soul may praise you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever. Psalm 30 :11-12
Reflection:
Some time ago, a 70-year-old toymaker gave his toyshop to the children of Denmark. His « house of toys, » one of the biggest in the world, was started 157 years ago by his family. It was a favorite haunt of fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen, as well as hundreds of thousands of enchanted youngsters who romped through the five-story toyland.
When he announced that the toy store would be placed in trust for needy youngsters, the owner said, « We
earned all our money from children, so it comes quite naturally to us to give the money back to the children, especially to those who have never had the joy that toys can give. »
God abundantly blesses those who show gratitude; thus Our Lady calls us to « give thanks to God for all the gifts you have discovered in the course of your life. » This also draws us closer to him, for we begin to see the tremendous depth of his love, expressed in an endless array of gifts.
Application:
Live the Madonna's message today by taking several minutes to call to mind God's gifts, and then giving thanks for them. Can you include this as part of your daily prayer?
Medjugorje Day By Day July 18 - ADORE THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT "Anyone who approaches this august Sacrament with special devotion and endeavors to return generous love for Christ's own infinite love, will experience and fully understand--not without spiritual joy and fruit--how precious is the life hidden with Christ in God . . . Countless blessings will accrue to the whole Church and the entire world from an increase in devotion to the Eucharist" (Pope Paul VI, Mysterium Fidei).
Mother Teresa You have a challenge from Jesus to meet:
Meditations by Padre Pio - I can not tolerate criticism and speaking ill of our brothers. It is true, sometimes I enjoy teasing them, but speaking ill of them makes me sick. We have so many defects ourselves to criticize, why pick on our brothers? And lacking in charity we damage the roots of the tree of life, with the risk of killing it (GB 62).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - America is spoiled because she expects too much!
"The discontent is far greater among the over-privileged than the underprivileged. The rich need the psychoanalysts more than the poor. Few European minds cracked under two wars. Many American minds have. The first learned not to expect anything. This lesson America has yet to learn."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - I go, Lord, at Your command. I go to conquer souls. Sustained by Your grace, I am ready to follow You, Lord, not only to Tabor, but also to Calvary. I desire to lead souls to the fount of Your mercy so that the splendor of Your mercy may be reflected in all souls, and the home of our Father be filled to overflowing. And when the enemy begins to attack me, I shall take refuge behind the shield of Your mercy. (1488b)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
July 18 - ADORE THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT
Although many of the villagers had worked hard in the fields all day, many remained after Mass for adoration.
In this context Our Lady said:
Dear children, I am especially grateful that you are here tonight. Adore unceasingly the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. Know that I am always present when the faithful are adoring (SM 3-15-84).
And in the gospel of John, Christ speaks of the bread that we adore:
Then Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world" (Jn 6:32-33).
Reflection:
Our Lady of Medjugorje urges us to adore her Son in the Blessed Sacrament, and has promised to be present herself as we do so. Special graces are received, she says whenever we are in adoration before the Eucharist.
On this subject, Fr. Albert Shamon tells the story of the Countess of Feria, whose mentor was the great Spanish mystic, St. John of the Cross. The countess, who had entered the Order of Poor Clares, had such a great devotion to Eucharistic adoration that she was called the "Spouse of the Blessed Sacrament." Once, when asked what she did during all those hours before the sacrament, she responded,
Good Lord! I'm asked what I do in his presence! What does a poor man do in the presence of a rich man? What does a sick person do in the presence of his doctor? What does a thirsty man do at the well? What does a starving person do before a table laden with food? He is rich; he is the physician; he is the fountain; he is the bread from heaven. And his love for us is so great that he died that he might dwell among us. Why? That he might enrich us, heal us, refresh and nourish us.
Application:
Visit the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament at your parish church this week, perhaps before or after Mass. Can you do this on a regular basis?

"Open your heart to Him"
Dear Friends,
Mary Visits Elizabeth
During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of you womb.
And how does this happen to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled. Luke 1:39-45
Below is the message of Our Blessed Mother addressed to Joseph. She spoke to him in these words,
I bless you, My son, and I bless all My sons and daughters. I was chosen by God the Father to be the Mother of His only Son, Jesus. It was a great joy for Me to bring the Messiah into the world. When the Angel Gabriel came to announce this news to Me, he also told me that My cousin, Elizabeth, was with child and that she was in her sixth month. I went with haste to her home near Jerusalem to help her during this time.
At My arrival her child leaped in her womb and she was filled with the Holy Spirit. She was inspired to speak words that only God knew, that I was the Mother of the Lord. I was filled with joy and I sang the Magnificat.
God had chosen His lowly handmaid to be the Mother of His Son destined to be the Savior of the world. Later at the cross, Jesus before His death gave Me to you to be your Mother. Now you are all My children for whom I pray continuously. I appear in all continents of the world to call you all to repent of your sins and change your life. I desire to bring you all to My Son Jesus so that you may believe in Him and follow Him. My dear children, open your heart to Him every day and live in close union with Him. May you be filled with the Holy Spirit and with love to walk with your Lord every day. I bless you all.
Father Melvin
Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez
Message from Our Blessed Mother to Carlos Lopez June 24, 2009 St. Bruno’s Church, San Bruno, CA
Dear little children, Praised be Jesus!
Give thanks to God with praise for having allowed me to be with you.
My little ones, pray, pray, pray. There are storms around you that are able to destroy entire cities because there are some storms that can destroy and annihilate. But this night I come to talk not about those storms but about the spiritual storms that can annihilate the soul. These are the storms that you should fear.
The storms that many go through are dark; dark in the soul and they dim your lives. Pray, my little ones, because these storms are filled with darkness where my adversary takes advantage trying to destroy many, through envy, pride, passions, jealousy, hate, impurity, destruction and all kinds of sin. The darkness of your souls blinds you and does not allow you to see the light of truth, of love and of peace.
Pray, pray, pray and do many sacrifices and penance so that the sun may shine in the hearts of all and the Holy Spirit may revive the being that was once dead in worldly pleasure and may become a light and salt of the world.
My little ones, pray much as I ask you so that I, your Mother, may be able to help you. Trust in me without fear; trust in me blindly because I will help you to rise to life, to the light of the Holy Spirit, to the light of that Love Who is Jesus the Prince of Peace. I love you and I bless you and I desire that you obey my words. I cover you and I bless you and my beloved priests and deacon who helped me this night. May the peace of God be always with all of you.
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

"I bless you all"
Dear Friends,
Transfer to Caesarea
Then the commander summoned two of the centurions and said, "Get two hundred soldiers ready to go to Caesarea by nine o'clock tonight, along with seventy horsemen and two hundred auxiliaries. Provide mounts for Paul to ride and give him safe conduct to Felix the governor." Then the commander wrote a letter with this content: "Claudius Lysias to his excellency the governor Felix, greetings.
This man, seized by the Jews and about to be murdered by them, I rescued after intervening with my troops when I learned that he was a Roman citizen. I wanted to learn the reason for their accusations against him so I brought him down to their Sanhedrin. I discovered that he was accused in matters of controversial questions of their law and not of any charge deserving death or imprisonment.
Since it was brought to my attention that there will be a plot against the man, I am sending him to you at once, and have also notified his accusers to state their case against him before you." So the soldiers, according to their orders, took Paul and escorted him by night to Antipatris. The next day they returned to the compound, leaving the horsemen to complete the journey with him. Acts 23:23-32
Here is a message from Our Lord given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,
"The Jews were set to kill Paul and they were just waiting for an opportunity. The Roman soldiers guarded him but their commander became afraid and decided to take Paul out of Jerusalem and send him to Governor Felix in Caesarea. There he would be better protected.
You who are My followers will be hated by the world. They will mock you and say all kinds of lies against you. They will call you "old fashion" or people living in the past. You will be rejected even by your own family. However, rejoice because the Kingdom of God is yours. Those who believe in Me will be your friends and there are many of them yet in the world.
You will find them especially in My Church as they go to church regularly and they pray every day. Intercede every day for those who are far from Me especially your close family. Be like St. Monica who prayed for her son Augustine for years until his conversion. Even the most hardened of sinners can be converted, so pray with confidence. Father Melvin

"I am with you always"
Dear Friends,
Paul before the Sanhedrin
The next day, wishing to determine the truth about why he was being accused by the Jews, the commander freed him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to convene. Then he brought Paul down and made him stand before them. ...
Paul was aware that some were Sadducees and some Pharisees, so he called out before the Sanhedrin, "My brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees; I am on trial for hope in the resurrection of the dead." When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the group became divided.
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection or angels or spirits, while the Pharisees acknowledge all three. A great uproar occurred, and some scribes belonging to the Pharisee party stood up and sharply argued, "We find nothing wrong with this man. Suppose a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?"
The dispute was so serious that the commander, afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces by them, ordered his troops to go down and rescue him from their midst and take him into the compound. The following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Take courage. For just as you have borne witness to my cause in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness in Rome." Acts 22:30, 23:6-11
We had a lovely sunny day yesterday with the temperature reaching over 20 degrees Celsius. It is sunny this morning but there are clouds and we should have rain later.
I celebrated Holy Mass at the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island yesterday morning at 9:30 a.m. and a good group came. This evening I will have Mass at 7:00 p.m. I was at the prayer meeting last evening at our church and 25 people attended. The Holy Spirit was surely at work. I am preparing for the retreat next week from July 22 to 24.
Here is the message given by Our Lord to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,
"Paul, the Jewish convert, was arrested and brought to trial before the Sanhedrin. He began by saying that he was a Pharisee and that he believed in the resurrection, in the angels and in the spirits. A dispute began among the group and it was so fierce that the soldiers took Paul from their midst. He was brought back to the prison.
In the evening I appeared to him and told him to take courage because he will go to Rome to bear witness to Me. Paul never lost courage even in Rome and he was always ready to acknowledge Me before the people. I was truly His Lord and His friend.
Paul is a great example of a truly Christian person who loves Me with all his heart and he was always ready to suffer anything for his faith in Me. Pray daily for an increase of faith and for the strength to be faithful to Me every day in this secular world of turmoil and unbelief. Be united to Me and do not be afraid. I am with you always."

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel:
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel—Feast, July 16: When the Carmelite order was persecuted, St. Simon Stock prayed for Our Lady's intercession. Mother Mary appeared to him on July 16, 1251 in Aylesford, England with the gift of the scapular, promising salvation to all who wear it, live a chaste life, and practice Marian devotion.
Our Lady appeared with the Scapular again at Fatima in 1917, in which she asked for prayer at Eucharistic Adoration and the Rosary. Our Lady of Mount Carmel lead us to Jesus, your Eucharistic Son!
"I praise, and bless, and give myself wholly to Him, who is the true Bread of my soul, and my everlasting joy" (Ven. John Henry Newman).
Mother Teresa - Christ must be the light that shines through you, and the people looking at you must see only Jesus.
Meditations by Padre Pio - I was extremely sorry to hear you have been ill, but was very happy to hear you are recovering, and I was even happier to see true piety and Christian charity flourish once again in your midst, which you showed during your infirmity (Letters III p 1094).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - We're more blessed than we think! "The talents we have must be put to work, but if they yield only a certain return, we do not murmur because the return is not greater. When we really examine our consciences we have to admit that we have received more than we morally deserved!"
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Jesus, there is one more secret in my life, the deepest and dearest to my heart; it is You Yourself when You come to my heart under the appearance of bread. Herein lies the whole secret of my sanctity.
Here my heart is so united with Yours as to be but one. There are no more secrets, because all that is Yours is mine, and all that is mine is Yours. Such is the omnipotence and the miracle of Your mercy. All the tongues of men and of Angels united could not find words adequate to this mystery of Your love and mercy.
When I contemplate this mystery, my heart falls into a new ecstasy. In silence I tell You everything, Lord, because the language of love is without words; not a single stirring of my heart escapes You. O Lord, the extent of Your great condescension has awakened in my soul an even greater love for You, the sole object of my love. The life of union manifests itself in perfect purity, deep humility, gentle silence, and great zeal for the salvation of souls. (1489)

JULY 17 - PREVENT SATAN FROM ENTERING
The Virgin speaks of Satan to Ivan's prayer group :
Dear children, again today you Mother wants to warn you that Satan, by every means possible, wants to ruin everything in you, but your prayers prevent him from succeeding. When you fill up all the empty space in your soul with prayer, you prevent Satan from entering. Pray, dear children, and your Mother will pray with you to defeat Satan.
May this be a time when all of us convey peace to others. And so please spread peace within your homes, in your families, in the streets, and everywhere (Visionary Prayer Group March 21,1988).
In strong, clear language, Paul identifies and warns the Ephesians of Satan and the powers of evil :
Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authoritative, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm (Eph 6 :11-13)
Reflection:
Both St. Paul and Our Lady wish us to recognize the reality and danger of Satan and the demonic, that we might be prepared and armed to defeat him. This is of such consequence to Mary that she has given over 25 messages on Lucifer.
Obviously Satan is not to be taken lightly. The trouble is that he usually works undercover subtly plying us with temptations and eroding our faith. He can also be overt and dramatic, as in some of the exorcisms that have occurred in Medjugorje, but this is rare behavior for him, for he does not like to show his face.
Our defense? Our Lady gives us five weapons : Prayer, fasting, scripture reading, monthly confession, and the Mass. She asks that we wear objects, make use of holy water, and "to let the rosary in your hands be a sign to Satan that you belong to me."
Application:
In prayer today, call to mind those temptations that bother you the most. See these as your weakest links, and place them before God in prayer each morning, asking for his protection against the Evil One.
Medjugorje Day By Day July 16 - OUR LADY OF MT. CARMEL
"Our Lord is present in this sacrament [of the Holy Eucharist] in which the martyrs and virgins received fervor, and the saints received fortitude" (St. John Bosco).
St. Dominic Savio, Patron of Children (1842-1857), Italy—Feastday, March 9 St. John Bosco advised those about to receive First Holy Communion to take St. Dominic Savio as their Patron Saint, due to his love of Jesus Eucharistic. He loved to visit and spend time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament daily, and invite his friends too. St. Dominic wrote, "What else do I need to be happy? Nothing in this world but to be able to see Him, Whom I now see by faith and adore on the altar."
Mother Teresa - Jesus said, " Learn of me for I am meek and humble of heart. "
Meditations by Padre Pio - To see suffering makes me very unhappy! I would gladly stab myself in the heart to take away suffering from someone! Yes, this would be very easy for me! (T 121). The Rosary is the weapon
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - God helps those who help themselves for His sake
"Contentment is not inconsistent with our endeavor to have our condition improved. We do everything we can, as if all depended on us, but we trust in God as if everything depended on Him."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - On the following day during Holy Mass, before the Elevation, this spirit began to sing these words: "Holy, Holy, Holy." His voice was like that of a thousand voices; it is impossible to put it into words. Suddenly my spirit was united with God, and in that instant I saw the grandeur and the inconceivable holiness of God and, at the same time, I realized the nothingness I am of myself. (471)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
JULY 16 - OUR LADY OF MT. CARMEL
Our Lady speaks of consecration today:
Dear children, I call you daily to live the messages which I am giving you because I want to draw your closer to the heart of Jesus. Therefore, little children, I am calling you today to the prayer of consecration to Jesus, my dear Son, so that each of your hearts may be his. And then I am calling you to consecration to my immaculate heart. I want you to consecrate yourselves as person, families, and parishes so that all belongs to God through my hands (Monthly Message October 25, 1988).
Consecration is a way of confirming our total dedication to the Lord. As Peter writes: Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more eager to confirm your call and election, for if you do this, you will never stumble. For in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you (2 Pt 1: 10-11).
Reflection :
The feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel speaks of profound dedication or consecration to the loving hearts of Jesus and Mary, as Carmelite religious have done for centuries. This is an act of love that links us to them forever.
Today the Virgin asks to help us on this path of love: « .I want to draw you closer to the heart of Jesus.
"And so she calls us to the prayers of consecration to the heart of Jesus and to her immaculate heart, so that all belongs to God through my hands." To consecrate means to completely dedicate ourselves. It means to irrevocably decide for God, to commit ourselves body and soul. It puts us in mind of the inscription on the papal coast of arms: "totus tuus," or "totally yours."
It is in regard to his act of profound dedication that Mary exhorts us: "pray that you may comprehend the greatness of this message (of consecration) which I am giving you." Consecration must be taken very seriously, for it is a radical commitment, a vow to the Lord himself.
Application: On this feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, let us again reverently consecrate ourselves to Jesus and Mary (prayers on November 24 and 25) and, as she says, « by constant prayer press tightly to my motherly heart. »
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!

"Open your heart to Him"
Dear Friends,
Mary Visits Elizabeth
During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of you womb.
And how does this happen to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled." Luke 1:39-45
Below is the message of Our Blessed Mother addressed to Joseph. She spoke to him in these words,
"I bless you, My son, and I bless all My sons and daughters. I was chosen by God the Father to be the Mother of His only Son, Jesus. It was a great joy for Me to bring the Messiah into the world. When the Angel Gabriel came to announce this news to Me, he also told me that My cousin, Elizabeth, was with child and that she was in her sixth month. I went with haste to her home near Jerusalem to help her during this time.
At My arrival her child leaped in her womb and she was filled with the Holy Spirit. She was inspired to speak words that only God knew, that I was the Mother of the Lord. I was filled with joy and I sang the 'Magnificat.'
God had chosen His lowly handmaid to be the Mother of His Son destined to be the Savior of the world. Later at the cross, Jesus before His death gave Me to you to be your Mother. Now you are all My children for whom I pray continuously. I appear in all continents of the world to call you all to repent of your sins and change your life.
I desire to bring you all to My Son Jesus so that you may believe in Him and follow Him. My dear children, open your heart to Him every day and live in close union with Him. May you be filled with the Holy Spirit and with love to walk with your Lord every day. I bless you all."

"I bless you all"
Dear Friends,
Transfer to Caesarea
Then the commander summoned two of the centurions and said, "Get two hundred soldiers ready to go to Caesarea by nine o'clock tonight, along with seventy horsemen and two hundred auxiliaries. Provide mounts for Paul to ride and give him safe conduct to Felix the governor." Then the commander wrote a letter with this content: "Claudius Lysias to his excellency the governor Felix, greetings.
This man, seized by the Jews and about to be murdered by them, I rescued after intervening with my troops when I learned that he was a Roman citizen. I wanted to learn the reason for their accusations against him so I brought him down to their Sanhedrin. I discovered that he was accused in matters of controversial questions of their law and not of any charge deserving death or imprisonment.
Since it was brought to my attention that there will be a plot against the man, I am sending him to you at once, and have also notified his accusers to state their case against him before you." So the soldiers, according to their orders, took Paul and escorted him by night to Antipatris. The next day they returned to the compound, leaving the horsemen to complete the journey with him. Acts 23:23-32
Here is a message from Our Lord given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,
"The Jews were set to kill Paul and they were just waiting for an opportunity. The Roman soldiers guarded him but their commander became afraid and decided to take Paul out of Jerusalem and send him to Governor Felix in Caesarea. There he would be better protected.
You who are My followers will be hated by the world. They will mock you and say all kinds of lies against you. They will call you "old fashion" or people living in the past. You will be rejected even by your own family. However, rejoice because the Kingdom of God is yours. Those who believe in Me will be your friends and there are many of them yet in the world.
You will find them especially in My Church as they go to church regularly and they pray every day. Intercede every day for those who are far from Me especially your close family. Be like St. Monica who prayed for her son Augustine for years until his conversion. Even the most hardened of sinners can be converted, so pray with confidence. Father Melvin

"I am with you always"
Dear Friends,
Paul before the Sanhedrin
The next day, wishing to determine the truth about why he was being accused by the Jews, the commander freed him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to convene. Then he brought Paul down and made him stand before them. ...
Paul was aware that some were Sadducees and some Pharisees, so he called out before the Sanhedrin, "My brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees; I am on trial for hope in the resurrection of the dead." When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the group became divided.
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection or angels or spirits, while the Pharisees acknowledge all three. A great uproar occurred, and some scribes belonging to the Pharisee party stood up and sharply argued, "We find nothing wrong with this man. Suppose a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?"
The dispute was so serious that the commander, afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces by them, ordered his troops to go down and rescue him from their midst and take him into the compound. The following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Take courage. For just as you have borne witness to my cause in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness in Rome." Acts 22:30, 23:6-11
We had a lovely sunny day yesterday with the temperature reaching over 20 degrees Celsius. It is sunny this morning but there are clouds and we should have rain later.
I celebrated Holy Mass at the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island yesterday morning at 9:30 a.m. and a good group came. This evening I will have Mass at 7:00 p.m. I was at the prayer meeting last evening at our church and 25 people attended. The Holy Spirit was surely at work. I am preparing for the retreat next week from July 22 to 24.
Here is the message given by Our Lord to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,
"Paul, the Jewish convert, was arrested and brought to trial before the Sanhedrin. He began by saying that he was a Pharisee and that he believed in the resurrection, in the angels and in the spirits. A dispute began among the group and it was so fierce that the soldiers took Paul from their midst. He was brought back to the prison.
In the evening I appeared to him and told him to take courage because he will go to Rome to bear witness to Me. Paul never lost courage even in Rome and he was always ready to acknowledge Me before the people. I was truly His Lord and His friend.
Paul is a great example of a truly Christian person who loves Me with all his heart and he was always ready to suffer anything for his faith in Me. Pray daily for an increase of faith and for the strength to be faithful to Me every day in this secular world of turmoil and unbelief. Be united to Me and do not be afraid. I am with you always."
Father Melvin
Medjugorje Day By Day July 19 - GIVE THANKS TO GOD
Mother Teresa - He has shed the light, and you will take His light and lighten every heart you meet.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Charity is the queen of virtues. As pearls are held together by a string, so are the virtues held by charity. And just as the pearls fall if the string breaks, so are the virtues lost if charity fails (CE 11).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Think about what has filled our void today! "An age without faith is an age of superstition. Religious belief is so essential to the heart that once it is cast aside, some false form is called in to fill the void. Unless the house is tenanted with goodness, seven devils worse than the first come in to dwell there."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - The desires of my heart are so great and incomprehensible That nothing can fill the abyss of my heart. Even the most beautiful things, gathered from all over the world, Would not for a moment fill Your place for me, O God.
With one glance, I penetrated the whole world, And I found no other love like the love of my heart. Therefore I looked into the world of eternity- Because this one is too small for me. My heart has desired the love of the Immortal One.
My heart has sensed that I am a royal child, That I have found myself in exile, in a foreign land. I see that the heavenly palace is my home; Only there will I feel as in my own fatherland.
You Yourself have drawn my soul to You, O Lord; O Eternal Word, You Yourself have stooped to me, Giving my soul a deeper knowledge of Yourself. Behold, the mystery of love for which You have created me!
Pure love has made me strong and brave. I fear neither the Seraphim nor the Cherubim, standing with sword in hand, And I pass over with ease where others tremble, Because there is nothing to fear, there where love is the guide.
And suddenly the eye of my soul came to rest upon You, O Lord Jesus Christ, stretched upon the Cross. Here is my Love, with whom I will rest in my grave. This is my Bridegroom, my incomprehensible Lord and God. (1632)

July 19 - GIVE THANKS TO GOD
In the fall of 1989, the Blessed Mother gave a message on gratitude:
Dear children, today I invite you to give thanks to God for all the gifts you have been given in the course of your life. Thank him even for the smallest gifts you have received. I give thanks with you and hope that you will experience joy in all these gifts. I want God to be everything to you. Then, dear children, you can continue to grow in the way of holiness. (Monthly Message September 25, 1989).
Psalm 30 also speaks of giving thanks and praise to God:
You have turned my mourning into dancing;
You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, So that my soul may praise you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever. Psalm 30 :11-12
Reflection:
Some time ago, a 70-year-old toymaker gave his toyshop to the children of Denmark. His « house of toys, » one of the biggest in the world, was started 157 years ago by his family. It was a favorite haunt of fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen, as well as hundreds of thousands of enchanted youngsters who romped through the five-story toyland.
When he announced that the toy store would be placed in trust for needy youngsters, the owner said, « We earned all our money from children, so it comes quite naturally to us to give the money back to the children, especially to those who have never had the joy that toys can give. »
God abundantly blesses those who show gratitude; thus Our Lady calls us to « give thanks to God for all the gifts you have discovered in the course of your life. » This also draws us closer to him, for we begin to see the tremendous depth of his love, expressed in an endless array of gifts.
Application:
Live the Madonna's message today by taking several minutes to call to mind God's gifts, and then giving thanks for them. Can you include this as part of your daily prayer?
Medjugorje Day By Day July 17 - PREVENT SATAN FROM ENTERING
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel:
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel—Feast, July 16: When the Carmelite order was persecuted, St. Simon Stock prayed for Our Lady's intercession. Mother Mary appeared to him on July 16, 1251 in Aylesford, England with the gift of the scapular, promising salvation to all who wear it, live a chaste life, and practice Marian devotion.
Our Lady appeared with the Scapular again at Fatima in 1917, in which she asked for prayer at Eucharistic Adoration and the Rosary. Our Lady of Mount Carmel lead us to Jesus, your Eucharistic Son!
"I praise, and bless, and give myself wholly to Him, who is the true Bread of my soul, and my everlasting joy" (Ven. John Henry Newman).
Mother Teresa - Christ must be the light that shines through you, and the people looking at you must see only Jesus.
Meditations by Padre Pio - I was extremely sorry to hear you have been ill, but was very happy to hear you are recovering, and I was even happier to see true piety and Christian charity flourish once again in your midst, which you showed during your infirmity (Letters III p 1094).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - We're more blessed than we think! "The talents we have must be put to work, but if they yield only a certain return, we do not murmur because the return is not greater. When we really examine our consciences we have to admit that we have received more than we morally deserved!"
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - Jesus, there is one more secret in my life, the deepest and dearest to my heart; it is You Yourself when You come to my heart under the appearance of bread. Herein lies the whole secret of my sanctity.
Here my heart is so united with Yours as to be but one. There are no more secrets, because all that is Yours is mine, and all that is mine is Yours. Such is the omnipotence and the miracle of Your mercy. All the tongues of men and of Angels united could not find words adequate to this mystery of Your love and mercy.
When I contemplate this mystery, my heart falls into a new ecstasy. In silence I tell You everything, Lord, because the language of love is without words; not a single stirring of my heart escapes You. O Lord, the extent of Your great condescension has awakened in my soul an even greater love for You, the sole object of my love. The life of union manifests itself in perfect purity, deep humility, gentle silence, and great zeal for the salvation of souls. (1489)

JULY 17 - PREVENT SATAN FROM ENTERING
The Virgin speaks of Satan to Ivan's prayer group :
Dear children, again today you Mother wants to warn you that Satan, by every means possible, wants to ruin everything in you, but your prayers prevent him from succeeding. When you fill up all the empty space in your soul with prayer, you prevent Satan from entering. Pray, dear children, and your Mother will pray with you to defeat Satan.
May this be a time when all of us convey peace to others. And so please spread peace within your homes, in your families, in the streets, and everywhere (Visionary Prayer Group March 21,1988).
In strong, clear language, Paul identifies and warns the Ephesians of Satan and the powers of evil :
Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authoritative, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm (Eph 6 :11-13)
Reflection:
Both St. Paul and Our Lady wish us to recognize the reality and danger of Satan and the demonic, that we might be prepared and armed to defeat him. This is of such consequence to Mary that she has given over 25 messages on Lucifer.
Obviously Satan is not to be taken lightly. The trouble is that he usually works undercover subtly plying us with temptations and eroding our faith. He can also be overt and dramatic, as in some of the exorcisms that have occurred in Medjugorje, but this is rare behavior for him, for he does not like to show his face.
Our defense? Our Lady gives us five weapons : Prayer, fasting, scripture reading, monthly confession, and the Mass. She asks that we wear objects, make use of holy water, and "to let the rosary in your hands be a sign to Satan that you belong to me."
Application:
In prayer today, call to mind those temptations that bother you the most. See these as your weakest links, and place them before God in prayer each morning, asking for his protection against the Evil One.

"Our Lord is present in this sacrament [of the Holy Eucharist] in which the martyrs and virgins received fervor, and the saints received fortitude" (St. John Bosco).
St. Dominic Savio, Patron of Children (1842-1857), Italy—Feastday, March 9 St. John Bosco advised those about to receive First Holy Communion to take St. Dominic Savio as their Patron Saint, due to his love of Jesus Eucharistic. He loved to visit and spend time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament daily, and invite his friends too. St. Dominic wrote, "What else do I need to be happy? Nothing in this world but to be able to see Him, Whom I now see by faith and adore on the altar."
Mother Teresa - Jesus said, " Learn of me for I am meek and humble of heart. "
Meditations by Padre Pio - To see suffering makes me very unhappy! I would gladly stab myself in the heart to take away suffering from someone! Yes, this would be very easy for me! (T 121). The Rosary is the weapon

"Contentment is not inconsistent with our endeavor to have our condition improved. We do everything we can, as if all depended on us, but we trust in God as if everything depended on Him."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - On the following day during Holy Mass, before the Elevation, this spirit began to sing these words: "Holy, Holy, Holy." His voice was like that of a thousand voices; it is impossible to put it into words. Suddenly my spirit was united with God, and in that instant I saw the grandeur and the inconceivable holiness of God and, at the same time, I realized the nothingness I am of myself. (471)

JULY 16 - OUR LADY OF MT. CARMEL
Our Lady speaks of consecration today:
Dear children, I call you daily to live the messages which I am giving you because I want to draw your closer to the heart of Jesus. Therefore, little children, I am calling you today to the prayer of consecration to Jesus, my dear Son, so that each of your hearts may be his. And then I am calling you to consecration to my immaculate heart. I want you to consecrate yourselves as person, families, and parishes so that all belongs to God through my hands (Monthly Message October 25, 1988).
Consecration is a way of confirming our total dedication to the Lord. As Peter writes: Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more eager to confirm your call and election, for if you do this, you will never stumble. For in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you (2 Pt 1: 10-11).
Reflection :
The feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel speaks of profound dedication or consecration to the loving hearts of Jesus and Mary, as Carmelite religious have done for centuries. This is an act of love that links us to them forever.
Today the Virgin asks to help us on this path of love: « .I want to draw you closer to the heart of Jesus.
"And so she calls us to the prayers of consecration to the heart of Jesus and to her immaculate heart, so that all belongs to God through my hands." To consecrate means to completely dedicate ourselves. It means to irrevocably decide for God, to commit ourselves body and soul. It puts us in mind of the inscription on the papal coast of arms: "totus tuus," or "totally yours."
It is in regard to his act of profound dedication that Mary exhorts us: "pray that you may comprehend the greatness of this message (of consecration) which I am giving you." Consecration must be taken very seriously, for it is a radical commitment, a vow to the Lord himself.
Application: On this feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, let us again reverently consecrate ourselves to Jesus and Mary (prayers on November 24 and 25) and, as she says, « by constant prayer press tightly to my motherly heart. »
SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH
"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."
Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.
Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails). Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

"I will give you the grace you need"
Dear Friend,
Paul’s Arrest
... The Jews from the province of Asia noticed Paul in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd, and laid hands on him, shouting, “Fellow Israelites, help us. This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place, and what is more, he has even brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this sacred place.†... The whole city was in turmoil with people rushing together.
They seized and dragged Paul out of the temple, and immediately the gates were closed. While they were trying to kill him, a report reached the cohort commander that all Jerusalem was rioting. He immediately took soldiers and centurions and charged down on them. When they saw the commander and the soldiers they stop beating Paul.
The cohort commander came forward, arrested him, and ordered him to be secured with two chains; he tried to find out who he might be and what he had done.
Some in the mob shouted one thing, others something else; so, since he was unable to ascertain the truth because of the uproar, he ordered Paul to be brought into the compound. When he reached the steps, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob, for a crowd of people followed and shouted, Away with him! Acts 21:27–28, 30–36
We had a partly sunny day yesterday with some rain now and then. This morning the sun is shining bright and it is cool.
Here is the message from Our Lord given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,
My great Apostle Paul suffered much as he traveled around the world of his time. Often he was beaten, thrown out of the city, cursed and people would tell lies about him. When he was in the temple in Jerusalem one day, people started shouting against him and dragged him out of the temple and started to beat him desiring to kill him. The soldiers came and took him away from the people and arrested him. He spent years in prison although he never did anything wrong. At the end he was beheaded in Rome.
My brothers and sisters, do not fear those who can kill your bodies but fear the one who can condemn you body and soul into hell. Therefore, place your heart in Me, your Savior, and follow Me in good days and in not so good days. I will give you the grace you need.

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.
JULY 16 - OUR LADY OF MT. CARMEL
Our Lady speaks of consecration today:
Dear children, I call you daily to live the messages which I am giving you because I want to draw your closer to the heart of Jesus.

Medjugorje Day By Day July 15 - LIVE IN MUTUAL LOVE
What about Jesus?
Meditate on this.
We have to thank God for all the people who defend the Eucharist!
"The Church believes that a holy hour spent before the Blessed Sacrament does more good for the well-being of the world than whole days spent in talking about progress to the utter oblivion of the fact that the only true progress consists in the diminution of the traces of original sin; she believes that a penitent returning to God is of far more consequence than the cancellation of war debts; that an increase of sanctifying grace in a soul is of far more value than the increase of international credit; that a group of cloistered nuns in prayer are more effective in preserving world peace than a group of world politicians discussing peace to the forgetfulness of the Prince of Peace" (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen).
Mother Teresa - There is great humility in God. He can stoop down to people like us and become dependent on us for His work to live, to grow, to bear fruit. And He could easily have done it without us. Yet He stooped down and called us to do it.
Meditations by Padre Pio - I beseech you by the meekness of Jesus, and by the bowels of mercy of the heavenly Father, never to slacken up on the path of virtue. Keep on running and don't ever make up your mind to stop, for you know that to stand still on this path is equivalent to retracing one's steps (Letters II p 274).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The greater our love for God, the less our needs in this world
"Contentment is based on the idea that `our sufficiency is not from ourselves but from God.' The soul does not desire or lack more than what God has supplied him. His will suits his state after he has exhausted his resources and his desire does not exceed his power. Hence everything that happens is judged to be as good and worthy of Divine appointment. As Socrates observed: `He is nearest to God who needs the fewest things.'"
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - One day, when I was at adoration, my spirit seemed to be dying for Him, and I could no longer hold back my tears. I saw a spirit of great beauty who spoke these words to me: "Don't cry-says the Lord."
After a moment I asked, "Who are you?" He answered me, "I am one of the seven spirits who stand before the throne of God day and night and give Him ceaseless praise." Yet this spirit did not soothe my yearning, but roused me to even greater longing for God. This spirit is very beautiful, and his beauty comes from close union with God. This spirit does not leave me for a single moment, but accompanies me everywhere. (471)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.
July 15 - LIVE IN MUTUAL LOVE
Today the Blessed Mother speaks of love:
Dear children, today I call you to live and practice love in your life love for God and for your neighbor.
Without love, dear children, you can do nothing. Therefore I call you to live in mutual love. Only in that way can you love and accept me, as well as all those around you who are coming to the parish.
Then everyone will sense my love through you. And so I beseech you, dear children, to start loving form today with an ardent, powerful Love the same love with which I love each one of you (Weekly Message May 29, 1986).
St. John speaks of love casting out all fear.
God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. Love has been perfected among us in this : that we may have boldness on the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love (1 Jan 4 :16-18).
Reflection:
In this passage from John's first letter, we are assured that, « there is no fear in love. » This is illustrated in a story set in Nazi Germany. An order had gone out the incurables and the insane were no longer to be a burden on the Reich.
Three high officials descended upon the Bethel institution (a huge hospital for epileptics and the mentally ill). « Herr Pastor », they said, « the Fueher has decided that all these people must be gassed. » Dr. Von Bodelschwingh, the administrator, looked at them calmly. « You can put me into a concentration camp, if you want; that is your affair.
But as long as I am free, you do not touch one of my patients. I cannot change to fit the times or the wishes of the Fuehrer. I stand under orders from our Lord Jesus Christ. »
Application:
Can you remember a time when, out of love, you chose to stand up for the right thing? Today, pray for the love that casts our all fear, and for the courage of faith.

Message for the Land from The Father, 7-15-09, 7:30 a.m., Weds. to O.A.S. Hoernschemeyer
Lovely daughter of the Most High, My people are praying and I hear them. They pray for an end to abortion and My children to know My Son. I hear them. Every one of My remnant are ready for Me to take evil out of the land. My children, the messages coming forth are for the sinners and lost now and those on the fence; not for their God or against Me. Do not stop praying My children.
Take heed in everything your Father says and keep them in your heart. You never will be afraid when you understand My words in the messages and the Sacred Word given to My Apostles. The prophets were then and they are now and greater works shall be done. In all shrines, holy prayer groups and masses; The I Am, The I Am is coming forth to be present and all the host of angels and saints to bless each one. Be intimate with your Father; your prayers are My heart towards you and My love for you forever. It is time for miracles upon miracles.
Your Father in heaven and on earth

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Protectress of Africa, you have given to the world the true Light, Jesus Christ. Through your obedience to the Father and the grace of the Holy Spirit, you have given us the source of our reconciliation and our justice, Jesus Christ, our peace and our joy.
Mother of Tenderness and Wisdom, show us Jesus, your Son and the Son of God. Guide our path of conversion, so that Jesus might shine his glory on us in every aspect of our personal, familial and social lives.
Mother, full of Mercy and Justice, through your docility to the Spirit, the Counselor, obtain for us the grace to be witnesses of the Risen Lord, so that we will increasingly become the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Mother of Perpetual Help, we entrust to your maternal intercession the preparation and fruits of the Second Special Assembly for Africa. Queen of Peace, pray for us! Our Lady of Africa, pray for us!

"Follow My Church"
Dear Friends,
Council of Jerusalem
Some who had come down from Judea were instructing the brothers, Unless you are circumcised according to the Mosaic practice, you cannot be saved. ... The Apostles and the presbyters met together to see about this matter. After much debate had taken place, Peter got up and said to them, my brothers, you are well aware that from early days God made his choice among you that through my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the Gospel and believe. And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the Holy Spirit just as he did us. He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts.
Why, then, are you now putting God to the test by placing on the shoulders of the disciples a yoke that neither our ancestors nor we have been able to bear? On the contrary, we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they. The whole assembly fell silent, and they listened while Paul and Barnabas described the signs and wonders God had worked among the Gentiles through them. Acts 15:1, 6–12
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,
The first council of the Church was held in Jerusalem at the beginning of the Church. There was a big controversy as regards the Mosaic Law. Some Christian Jews maintained that one cannot become a Christian unless he or she becomes a Jew and follows the laws of Moses. For example the Mosaic Law prescribes that all males are to be circumcised.
All the Apostles and priests convened a council to discuss this problem. It was Peter, the leader of the Church, who spoke of what he saw among the Gentiles. They received the Holy Spirit just like the Apostles did. One is not saved by ritual but by the grace received from Me. So his decision was that there is no need of circumcision and it is not necessary to follow the Mosaic Law. All are called to believe the Gospel and to follow Me. This council was important because it freed you all from the yoke of the Law of Moses. Follow My Church and you will be saved.

My child, My will is in everything. It is mankind’s failure to place his full trust in Me that causes him to believe that his plan and purpose is greater then Mine. Do you see My child the importance of the soul recognizing its sinfulness for only I can free a soul from the bondages it attains on earth through My Divine Mercy.
I say to My faithful children to pray. Pray for this world needs much prayer. Do not relish in worldly things for they do not benefit the soul. The greatest benefit for the soul comes through the Eucharist. I say to you come and receive My Most Precious Body and Blood. Allow Me to cleanse you and nourish you for you are My creation made in My image and likeness. Go forth in great love as My witness for you are called to be holy for I am Jesus and My mercy and justice will prevail.

My child, My children wander as if they answer to no one. I say to you that the day of awakening is near. It shall come like a strong driving wind and it will pierce the hearts and souls of My people. Those who believe they can live as though they will never die are the ones who will find themselves caught off guard
The day of financial awakening is near for unless My children turn away from sin and live in My light this world will continue to purge itself into greater darkness. I have told My children that you cannot fight evil with evil. You cannot draw those who do not know the truth if you do not speak it.
The hour of satan’s rage is soon to expire for My mothers heart is soon to triumph. Come into the abyss of My Most Sacred Heart. Live your mission. Live your vocation and allow them to shine.
For out of the dust of the earth I formed you into the greatest of gems and when you respond to the will of your Heavenly Father you then allow that gem to shine for it is then heaven and earth coming together to bring glory and honor to your Master for I am Jesus and My mercy and justice will prevail.
Please Pray for the following people

WE WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF SOME CHANGES TO THE 'WORDS FROM JESUS WEBSITE' THE INDEX THAT IS IN THE BOOK HAS BEEN UPDATED REFERENCING THE NEW MESSAGES PUBLISHED SINCE THE BOOK AND IS AVAILABLE IN THE TABLE ON THE LEFT.
UNDER THE HEADING 'MESSAGES FROM JESUS' ON THE LEFT YOU WILL FIND A DOCUMENT WHICH LISTS ALL OF THE MESSAGES PUBLISHED SINCE THE BOOK WAS PRINTED, THEY ARE ALSO BROKEN OUT BY YEAR.
JENNIFER ALSO WANTED TO SHARE SOMETHING THE LORD RECENTLY ASKED HER PRAY GROUP TO DO. HE ASKED EACH PERSON TO WRITE DOWN TEN NAMES OF PEOPLE THEY KNEW AND TO SAY THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET FOR THOSE TEN PEOPLE, HE ASKED EACH PERSON TO ADD 10 NEW NAMES AND TO SAY THE CHAPLET FOR THEM, THE PROCESS WAS REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES. JESUS ASKED THAT WE TRY TO LIST ANYONE WE EVER KNEW, AND TO CONTINUE DOING THIS.

Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Jesus said: my people, many of your smaller wars are a testing ground for the latest new weaponry from your Defense Industrial Complex. Your troops need high tech weapons to justify the billions of dollars spent on defense.
There has been a low profile in the reporting of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, yet your Congress is continually appropriating hundreds of billions of dollars to keep them going. Even as high deficits are being incurred to battle the recession, the deficits for war are adding even more to the National Debt. This irresponsible deficit spending will soon bankrupt your country when you will be unable to monetize your debt.
Your dollar will lose its buying power as a new world currency in the amero will replace the dollar. This is all part of the one world people’s plan to set up a world government. Trust in Me to defeat these evil ones in time, as I will bring My victory over all of them.
Thursday, June 11, 2009: (St. Barnabas)
Jesus said: my people, St. Paul and St. Barnabas were two of My great missionaries in My Early Church when you risked your life to teach My Word. They were annointed by the apostles to teach the Gentiles and they were called Christians for the first time in Antioch. St. Paul had a miraculous conversion, and he worked with St. Barnabas to bring many converts into the faith.
These early missionaries were an inspiration of faith in their zeal to bring souls to Me. As you read the Acts of the Apostles during the Easter Season, you can see how My disciples were eager to spread the Good News of My death and Resurrection for the salvation of all of mankind. Even as you are inspired by their works, I call on all of My faithful to go out and preach My Good News. Trust in Me and call on the gifts of the Holy Spirit to strengthen you in your own missionary efforts.
My Father in heaven, who sees your good deeds, will reward you with treasure in heaven.
Prayer Group:
Jesus said: my people, those, who are managing your crop surpluses as a back up for bad years, have squandered your surplus either on purpose or for greed of making more money. The result is that your supplies of grain are at an all time low, and it is important to have a bumper crop this year to replenish your shortages. When back up supplies are low, a serious famine could result with one bad year of crops. Pray that everyone will have enough to eat, or if necessary you could pray to Me to multiply your crops.
Jesus said: my people, your manufacturing leaders have turned your country into a third world country by shipping all of your manufacturing jobs overseas in the name of cheap labor. They also have made the tax and tariff laws to allow cheap goods to be imported and ruin all of your businesses with no protection.
Now it is late in this plan of self-destruction to try and salvage your auto industry with taxpayer bailouts. Even producing your military weapons is in danger from not producing your own steel products. This has been part of the one world people’s plan to lessen American influence in manufacturing and other businesses. The overall plan is to weaken your economy, military, and banking so you are ripe for a takeover. Prepare for this takeover which is coming closer every year.
Jesus said: my people, evil men have taken advantage of unregulated debt instruments to swindle people’s pensions and mortgages for their own gain by over leveraging their loans. They did this with low interest rates, and the Federal Reserve is encouraging another housing bubble with cheap rates again.
Bankers are given 0% loans and government or taxpayer funds are supporting their toxic assets. Low rates help the rich make billions, but savers get low interest for their savings. These evil Wall Street people are stealing from the poor to make themselves richer. They will feel My heavy hand at their judgment for their organized theft on a grand scale.
Jesus said: my people, your current leader is trying to claim everyone should have health care in a national program. Your government has done a poor job in even handling Medicare for the elderly, let alone trying to control everyone’s health care. They are attacking the small part that cannot afford health care as an excuse to control everyone. They will use smart cards and eventually chips in the body to control your drugs, doctor choice, and any operations.
Foreign countries with national health plans have a hard time scheduling operations because of the bureaucracy. The cost of such a plan is also an added means to bankrupt your country because taxes and fees would be required to pay for a plan that your country cannot afford. Do not take any chips in the body at all costs.
Jesus said: my people, the banking crisis and America’s deficits have grown so large that it may soon be evident that there will not be enough buyers of Treasury notes to sponsor loans needed to fund your growing deficits. China and some countries with dollars are demanding an international currency to replace the dollar.
When the Federal Reserve prints money as a buyer of last resort, then the dollar will be so diluted that it will quickly lose its value. Be prepared when this debt cannot be afforded by your taxpayers. There will be a bankruptcy of America which could lead to a martial law takeover to quell the riots of unhappy people holding worthless dollars. Pray then to be led to My refuges for your protection.
Jesus said: my people, there are government people and business people trying to put a good face on your recession by showing less job losses. It will take a long time to stop job losses completely and find job gains that will last.
Many laid off workers have had to take less paying jobs and are finding it harder to survive. Less tax revenue has put stress on many levels of government. Things may appear all right to some, but your country is headed for a takeover by the one world people.
Jesus said: my people, as deficits and the recession take their toll on America, you will find less income is available to buy your necessities, let alone any extras. As people are pressed to limit their spending, you will see a dramatic drop in your standard of living. Be prepared for this stripping of your wealth that is being manipulated by the one world government people. Pray for My help when all of your economy will be under siege.

Jesus said: my people, there has finally been a recognition that the Swine flu has spread over all the nations of the world enough to call it a pandemic disease. Even though there has been a lot of cases in the United States, fortunately, not many have died as yet. Even your health people are concerned that if this Swine flu mutates, it could prove more deadly when the flu season begins in October with the colder weather. In reality this is a man-made disease and the perpetrators of this disease can make a more virulent form that could be distributed by chemtrails or even by flu shots themselves.
If you see many people dying from such a new and deadlier form of this pandemic virus, then this will be a sign to you to call on Me and I will have your angels guide you to protection and a cure at My refuges.
Looking on My luminous cross or drinking the healing spring water will cure any disease or sickness. This killing of people by a pandemic virus is another reason to go to My refuges in addition to world famine, division in My Church, and martial law. Give praise and thanks to Me for providing a safe haven for My faithful.
(Robin & Enzio Romano Wedding) Jesus said: my people, it is always a great celebration when a couple gets married in the church. Marriage should be a life long commitment, and getting married in the church is a statement about how serious they are taking their vows. Having a Mass for the wedding is also an invitation to Me to be a part of their marriage.
Matrimony is a sacrament and My grace will be with both spouses helping them in their marriage. All those, who are present in the church today, are giving witness to the sacramental life of this couple. Your presence is also a support for this newly married couple and they will look to you for advice and counsel.
Their parents have trained them in the faith so they will be responsible to follow their vows, and be faithful to each other. Love is a gift that both spouses can share together, and it is a treasure for lasting marriages. Married love gives even more purpose to your life in your human existence. Give glory and praise to Me for bringing this couple together in marriage.
Saturday, June 13, 2009: (St. Anthony of Padua)
Jesus said: my people, I have given you many messages concerning the need to come to My refuges for protection during the tribulation of the Antichrist. I have also comforted you in promising My angels will bring daily Communion to you at My refuges if you do not have a priest for a Mass.
My Blessed Sacrament is your daily spiritual food that strengthens you with My grace to bear the day’s burdens. You are seeing in this vision how the angels will bring Hosts from a nearby tabernacle and multiply them for everyone to have a Host.
Even if there are no more tabernacles on earth, I will bring Hosts down from heaven even as the people in the Exodus had manna from heaven on the ground. In your modern day Exodus you will have a heavenly Bread even with a physical form that will be My Body and Blood to share. I will take care of My faithful in the end times not only with your physical needs, but also your spiritual needs in My daily Communion. In the same way with Confession, if you do not have a priest, I will accept your Act of Contrition prayer to forgive your sins so you can receive Me in Communion more worthily. Give praise and thanks to Me who understands your needs and grants you My blessings.
Jesus said: my people, as you look at this track in a tunnel, you know that it is the train that will take many to their deaths in the detention center death camps. The one world people already have lists for who is to be killed both before and after martial law is declared.
They have prepared vented boxcars with shackles to hold the prisoners. Do not fear if you are called to be a martyr for your faith in Me. I will lessen any pain and you will become an instant saint in heaven.
Those, who leave their homes quickly at My call, could avoid martyrdom by going to My refuges of protection. In either case you are dependent on Me for everything, and you will need to have full trust in Me to protect your soul from the evil one. I am at your side always, so you can call on My help in this test of your faith. You need to accept being stripped of all of your money and your possessions.
Desire to follow My Will in life and death because this life is passing away. By offering everything up to Me every day in your total consecration, you indeed will have your eternal life with Me in heaven. Heaven is your goal, so prolonging this life only postpones your eventual death. Accept everything that I put in your path as My Will for you, and you will have My peace in your soul.
Sunday, June 14, 2009: (Body & Blood of Jesus-Corpus Christi)
Jesus said: my people, in the first reading you have My Covenant with Moses and the Ten Commandments sealed with the offering of the bull’s blood as a sacrifice. In the vision you are seeing the bread and wine offered at the Last Supper which now in the Mass is My true Body and Blood as a sacrifice for all of your sins.
The next day on Good Friday I died and gave My life as a sacrifice for the salvation of all of mankind from your sins. My Eucharist at the Mass is a sharing among the Communion of Saints of the living, those in purgatory, and the saints in heaven.
When you receive Me in Holy Communion, you are receiving My Real Presence into your soul, and I dwell with you as a tabernacle until the Host is consumed.
Those, who treasure My Real Presence, can visit Me in Adoration of My consecrated Host, or before My tabernacle. In the history of My Church there have been many miracles of My Eucharist performed to prove My Real Presence, as blood has appeared on the Host. Rejoice in this gift of Myself to you in every Communion.
Monday, June 15, 2009
Jesus said: my people, when you start your day with Mass and Holy Communion, you go forth from church with My grace in your soul. This bright light that you see is another day of challenges, but you are radiating out your own light of joy to go forward in My Will.
As you consecrate everything over to Me at the Consecration of the Mass, everything that you do is offered up to Me as a prayer. My grace is with you to defend you from the temptations of the devil. This is a hard Gospel for some to not seek revenge for anything done to them by another person.
You need to forgive others of any injustices done to you, even as you seek to be forgiven of your own sins against Me and other people. How can you harbor a grudge against others when you want to be forgiven of your own transgressions?
This is why you need to forgive and forget others’ sins against you, as I forgive and forget your sins. This is not easy because of your earthly roots, but it is a higher moral order that I am calling My faithful to follow. I have called you not to make a defense of your mission and My messages. It is enough to hear My Word and let the people discern the truth of My words. Go and live My message of forgiveness all of the time, and you will be living My Word.
Jesus said: my people, there are many cures of various diseases that your scientists have discovered. Some of these involve cancer, heart problems, breathing problems, and various organ problems. Some scientists have a problem understanding miracle cures.
Yet by faith you know miracle cures can be granted. When a person with healing gifts prays over someone, there is a grace of healing energy that goes out to the person being prayed over. For healings to take place both the person and the healer have to have faith that I can heal them of some disease or problem part of the body.
When you pray for someone’s healing, offer up your Masses and prayers in a novena. You have some prayers for the sick in your Pieta prayer book. Have confidence in My healing power and you will witness many miracles.
Tuesday, June 16, 2009
Jesus said: my people, you have witnessed a miracle of healing for your wife and you were right to give praise and thanks to Me for this gift. I told you that those, who have faith in My power to heal, will see miracles of My grace.
You were given a vision of an angel healing your wife and you were blessed for inviting Me and My angels to heal her out of faith. Remember when St. Raphael was instrumental in healing Tobit’s blindness with the gall of the fish. Angels can be given authority to heal, as this gift was a result of much prayer as well. I want you to continue praying a novena of thanksgiving for this gift of healing.
Remember to pray for all souls in need of My grace, especially for those who are near death. This healing of souls is even more important than physical healings. Jesus said: my people, what you are seeing in this vision is a desire by people for money, power, and fame.
Some even sell their souls to the devil for these earthly things. In the end what or whom do you worship? Is it Me, or you and your money? Only those, who are humble and worship Me, are on the right path to heaven. What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul to the devil in hell in the process? The things of this world and fame are fleeting and passing away.
But the love of God and neighbor will win you eternal life in heaven. To gain heaven, it does not matter how rich or poor you are. I measure your worth in heavenly treasure for your good deeds. The treasure of heaven far surpasses any treasure on earth. Seek first the Kingdom of God, and everything else will be given you.
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
Jesus said: my people, this overflowing waterfall is how I pour out My abundant graces on all of you. You should be grateful and give Me thanks for all that I have given you. The best way to say thank you to Me would be to share what bounty you have with others, so they can have what they need in physical things and spiritual needs of faith as well.
You share alms with the poor in money, but you can also share your grace of faith with the poor in spirit. Those, who need conversion to knowing Me, or re-conversion to bring them back to Me, are in need of your help spiritually because they are lost, but now they are found through you.
I am like the Father of the Prodigal Son waiting for all sinners to return to Me so I can grant them forgiveness of their sins and heal their souls. My faithful are My arms and legs to bring souls to Me. Continue in your charity of alms and your charity of evangelization by prayer and invitation to come to Me.
Jesus said: my people, when you have many people at a refuge, it is difficult to have enough water for everyone’s needs. The well water is best for drinking and cooking, but it may be limited. I will multiply your water when needed. In the vision you saw people in multiplied buildings and the gutters were catching rainwater which fell into water barrels.
This rain water would be good for bathing and washing your clothes. Care needs to be taken in how to get the water out of the barrels. Either have a removable lid on top or a mechanical pump through a hole in the top. Take care during the freezing days of winter to bring the barrels inside where you are heating.
You may have to collect snow and melt it inside for extra water. Water is a very necessary item for survival, so protect your water sources from getting disease or freezing. As you learn how to live on a refuge for protection, you will also learn what you need to survive. Gathering food from animals and your crops will be another concern, as well as storing the food in a root cellar in the ground.
All of your needs will be satisfied, but you will need to help each other with your own various skills. Give praise and thanks to Me for providing you a safe haven of protection.
Thursday, June 18, 2009
Jesus said: my people, there are many foreign troops in your country to implement martial law. This is why you have many made up wars to keep your troops out of your country. Your census will help direct these foreigners to pick up religious and patriotic people.
They also will have road signs to direct these trucks where to bring their prisoners. I will warn My faithful when to leave for your refuges before martial law is declared. Be ready to leave with your backpacks ready, and leave quickly when I tell you, or you could be captured and killed. Have no fear of these evil ones because I will protect your souls. They may harm some of your bodies, but never your souls.
Pray for the souls of all people so they could be converted before it is too late and the Antichrist will control them. This trial of evil will be brief before I will come in victory over the evil ones.
Prayer Group:
Jesus said: my people, you have seen problems with the bee populations all over the world, and now even other insects as bumble bees are having similar declining numbers. Most of these problems are a result of man’s interference with nature. Chemtrail viruses, HAARP and cell phone microwaves, along with various pesticides are taking their effect on the very bees needed to pollinate your crops. Reduced harvests can be affected by this reduced bee population and your hybrids for crops. The coming world famine will be a direct result of mans’ interference with My balance of nature. This is another need for My refuges where I will multiply your food.
Jesus said: my people, as the evil ones take control, they will be searching to kill all those who will be against their new world order. You have seen in the Middle East and Vietnam where various terrorists have hid in caves from America’s bombing.
This is why caves are a good place, even for My faithful to hide from the evil ones. There I will provide for your food and water. Be patient since I will soon come in victory over the evil ones.
Jesus said: my people, some people, who are building refuges, have built their buildings with camouflage so they cannot be seen well from the air. In addition My angels will place invisible shields over My refuges so they cannot be detected by any of man’s means. Trust in My protection of My refuges with miracles that you cannot imagine by your worldly knowledge.
Jesus said: my people, the angels at My refuges will not only make you invisible, but they will protect you from bombs, defoliants, and any pandemic viruses. I know all of man’s ways to attack you, but none of them will harm you, or affect you in any way. These acts will be miracles of My grace that you will not fully understand, but you will witness these miracles during the tribulation.
At the proper time I will send My Comet of Chastisement and My angels will bring tormenting plagues against all of the evil ones as they will suffer their hell on earth. Then I will gather up these evil ones and demons and chain them in hell. My faithful will then be rewarded in My Era of Peace.
Jesus said: my people, one of your punishments will be a massive volcanic explosion that will spew massive amounts of dust and ash over parts of your country. There has been an increase in earthquakes which will trigger some large volcanic explosions. This is when you should seek cover, wear your masks, and cover any openings in your doors and windows. Some have forecasted these events and they could bring about a famine situation when your crop lands will be destroyed.
Jesus said: my people, you know that the flu season starts in October and is usually over in February. This latest outbreak of Swine flu has been designated a pandemic, but it is completely out of season.
This flu is not just a mutation, but it has all the signs of a laboratory man-made disease. This first wave has been spread very easily, but it has thus far not killed very many people. This H1N1 virus has similarities to the Spanish flu that killed millions of people.
The same evil ones, who developed this disease, could just as easily generate a more virulent form that could attack your population in October with more deaths occurring. This is why you need masks and food storage to weather this coming outbreak. Build up your immune system with Hawthorn, herbs, and vitamins.
As you see larger numbers dying from this new virus, then you are to call on Me to lead you to My refuges. There you will look upon My luminous cross and drink the healing spring waters which will protect you from all diseases and deadly viruses, or bacteria.
Jesus said: my people, the next two feast days honor My Sacred Heart and My Blessed Mother’s Immaculate Heart. These feasts are together to indicate that our two hearts are joined as one. When you pray to both of our hearts, your heart will also be joined with our hearts, especially at Holy Communion in the Mass.
At some churches you celebrate Mass back to back around midnight to commemorate the joining of our two hearts. We both lived on the earth without sin and we are your examples of perfection to strive to live in My Divine Will. Rejoice in these feasts, even as you try to live your lives as close as possible to our example. We bless all of you for your honoring our two hearts.
Friday, June 19, 2009: (Sacred Heart of Jesus)
Jesus said: my people, this image of My Sacred Heart is a fitting testimony of My love for all of mankind. This is why you should have a large crucifix on the altar so you can be reminded that I love you so much that I gave My life for the reparation of all of your sins. Out of love for you I shared the ways of heaven with you to live according to My teachings.
I showed you the love of the Father to send His Son, and this love of God generates the Third Person of the Holy Spirit. This is why love is at the basis of My Commandments in love of God and love of neighbor. You are made in My Image, so love needs to be a part of your makeup as well. You can show Me your love by your prayers and your obedience to My Will. Trust in Me, and I will see to all of your needs and petitions.
Jesus said: my people, in days past you were focused on an endless war on terrorists, and you still are active in such wars. The latest new people in office have kept a low profile with a new vocabulary for fighting wars. You still are dealing with cells of terrorists, but another event is being planned to hit multiple cities at once with massive explosions.
Your economy and banking are still recovering from this financial crisis which was also created. A major terrorist event could send your country into martial law with enough confusion created by bombings.
The one world people will use any opportunity for a takeover, even if they have to create such an event themselves. The economic crisis, the pandemic virus, and any seeming terrorist attacks could all be used by the one world people in a takeover of America under martial law and emergency Executive Orders.
Be prepared for any events that could trigger martial law because this will be the time to call on Me and My angels to lead you to safety at My refuges. Trust in My help and early warning to leave for My refuges.
Saturday, June 20, 2009: (Immaculate Heart of Mary)
The Blessed Virgin Mary said: my dear children, I invite you to come and share your love with my Immaculate Heart and imitate my life in the Divine Will of my Son, Jesus. I always bring you to my Son because He is the source of grace to be shared with everyone. Since the time I was at the foot of my Son’s cross, I have been your spiritual mother. You also see my heart where my love for my children reaches out to everyone. My mantle is also held over all of my children to protect you from the devil and evil people.
Continue to send your petitions to me in your rosaries, because you know my Son listens to my pleas for help. Continue to honor me in my statues, icons, shrines, and my Miraculous Medal. Many of you also wear my Brown Scapular of protection as well. Remember on these two feasts to unite your heart with our two hearts.
Sunday, June 21, 2009: (Father’s Day) God the Father said: I AM started all of creation from Adam, so I am literally the Father of all humanity. I sent My Son, Jesus, to offer His life as a sacrifice for your sins and He gave you new life in the Spirit. I truly am watching over all of you, and I hold all of the universe in its proper place.
Give glory and praise to Me, and you can wish Me a Happy Father’s Day as well. Give thanks to Me also for all the beauty of the earth and flowers of My creation. I love all of you, even as I sent My Son to help you out of love. Thank all of your fathers for all that they do for your families.
Jesus said: my people, I have told you that it would be a good preparation for My people to do some backpacking and use your tents for an overnight stay. When you are on your way to My refuge, you may have to camp outside a few days until you reach the refuge. By having tried living in a tent overnight, you can see what you really need and how well you can adapt to living in rustic outdoor camps. You will not have all the comforts of home, so you need to be able to live a simple lifestyle. Remember to bring your sacramentals, rosaries, and holy books for reading.
This is in addition to your basic camping supplies. I commend those who are willing to go through with this exercise which may be beneficial training for the time that you really have to leave. Once you are warned, do not be wasting time, but leave your home quickly without thinking about what you left behind. I will provide for your needs, so have no fear.
Monday, June 22, 2009: (St. John Fisher & St. Thomas More)
Jesus said: my people, when I asked you to prepare your backpacks for leaving for your refuges, you acquired what you needed, but you were slow to put it all together. It was in going through the actual practice of loading your backpack that you realize what you need and how much will fit into your bag.
You would not realize this unless you actually prepared for it. The same can be said for going camping. It was then that you realized you could not find your tent, so you had to purchase a larger one, but not too heavy. This enabled you to have hammers, matches, windup flashlights, water bottles, and all that you need for camping.
See how these exercises prepare you better for your actual leaving for My refuges. Be prepared spiritually and physically as you will have many difficulties in living outdoors that you did not expect. Pray for My help in all of your preparations.
Jesus said: my people, you have had some experiences in preparing meals outdoors so you can see how difficult it can be. You also are conscious of outdoor noises of the animals and insects. This is just a little taste of now rustic living can be a trial.
Once you arrive at My refuges, you will have My angels to protect you, and I will multiply your food and water. Have no fear because My angels will make you invisible. When you are hungry sometimes, you will be thankful for My many gifts. Trust in My care for you, and you will have nothing to worry about.
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
Jesus said: my people, this vision of a boat at sea represents everyone living on the sea of life. At times you will experience stormy seas or major difficulties as deaths or sicknesses in the family. At other times the sea may be calm at a happy occasion as an Anniversary, wedding, or birth.
Sometimes even small waves of disappointments can upset your day. Just as I calmed the storm for My apostles, so you can call on My help in any life crisis to smooth out your problems.
Consecrate everything over to Me and I will help you in everything you do each day. Trust in Me by faith and your life will be smoother, even during difficult times. Those, who follow My Commandments, and trust in Me will come into a beautiful harbor of heaven at the end of your life’s journey.
Wednesday, June 24, 2009: (Birth of St. John the Baptist)
Jesus said: my people, this feast of St. John the Baptist’s birth is why you are seeing this vision of people’s feet. St. John said that he was not worthy to loosen My sandal straps out of humility. (Luke 3:16) As St. John baptized Me, the people witnessed the Blessed Trinity in My Father’s speaking, Myself, and God the Holy Spirit in the sign of a dove.
St. John the Baptist is an example for all of My faithful to follow in his simple living, his humility, and his zeal to baptize and save sinners.
You also should seek to evangelize and convert sinners baptizing them in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In this age of weak faith and evil about you, you are hearing of many who do not want to baptize their children. Remember the message that I gave you to pray the Baptism prayer for all who had not been baptized. (Message on 5-5-09)
Jesus said: my people, when it comes time to go to My refuges, you will have to make some decisions on who in your family that you want to take with you. Hopefully, your family members will understand the need to leave your homes behind. You have prepared your backpacks to leave, and some of you have practiced camping in your tents.
Your family has seen you prepare food and water for the end times. Still every spouse may not want to leave, and you will have some hard choices to leave someone behind. I have told you the consequences of staying behind that could lead to your death at the hands of the one world people.
Call on Me to have your angels lead you to the safety of My refuges where I will provide for your shelter, food, and water. As you saw with your camping trip, you will have to cook your meals, provide fires for cooking, gather food, and help with your shelter, washing clothes, and bathing. My angels will protect you from the evil ones, but have your things ready to leave for My refuges at a moment’s notice.
Thursday, June 25, 2009
Jesus said: my people, in today’s Gospel I told the people only those, who act in faith on My teachings, will come to heaven, not those who just call Lord, Lord. I see the intentions of the heart in your actions, and I know who is sincere and who is just doing things for show.
At the judgment time you want to have plenty of good deeds in your hands to offset your sins. I told the people that their faith should be well grounded, as the man who built his house on rock. They should not try to get into heaven with words alone, or they would be like the man who built his house on sand. In another account as in the vision I speak of My faithful as the wheat being gathered up into My barn of heaven.
These are the ones, who by their actions of good deeds, have been judged righteous and faithful. Those, who refused to accept Me into their lives and refused to seek My forgiveness are like the tares or weeds that are bundled up and thrown into the fires of hell. Choose rightly in following My example, and you will be confident in being rewarded with heaven at your judgment.
Prayer Group:
Jesus said: my people, when you go out walking during the darkness of night, you need to use a flashlight to see your way. I have even asked you to have windup flashlights at My refuges so you do not need batteries or electricity.
This image of light represents My showing you the way as I disperse the darkness. Even My angels will lead you with a sign of light so you can follow them to My refuges. You will see miracles upon miracles as I will protect My faithful at My refuges.
Jesus said: my people, fame and money may seem desirable from your earthly senses, but these movie stars have a hard life constantly in the public’s eye. As they travel to various shows, there is a constant schedule and loneliness that can test anyone. A simple life is more rewarding than fleeting fame or seeking elusive wealth. This life is passing away and you need to seek Me in heaven more than any earthly attraction.
Jesus said: my people, some think that taking a cruise is a little bit of an extravagance, but it can be a learning experience in dealing with people. You see people from different walks of life and you view some beautiful places of My creation.
Even some trips can teach you of the history of man and what man worships. Some seek trips as a show of their wealth, while others seek a well deserved vacation from hard work.
Focus more on the people and what you can learn from them, while at the same time you can be a witness of My love to show people how to live in My love. Continue your daily prayers wherever you travel so you are always united with Me.
Jesus said: my people, those, who have gone camping, know the comforts they like as they pitch their tents. Some may like pads over the ground for sleeping and easy ways for making fires with gas instead of wood fires.
The difficulty with some of these comforts is that they may be too heavy to carry into rural areas with woods and grassy plains. You need to limit what you take to My refuges and bear with some penances. You had to deal with uncomfortable bedding and various noises of nature that kept you from sleeping.
The quiet mornings were very conducive for prayer while others were asleep. You have many gifts to be thankful for, but preparing to live in the wild can be a trying experience. Trust that I will protect you wherever My angels will lead you.
Jesus said: my people, do not worry about what you will eat, what you will wear, or where you will stay at My refuges. Two changes of clothes will be sufficient as you will be making more clothes. I will bring you animals for food and you will plant your vegetables.
Other food will be multiplied to take care of the hungry crowds of people. I have told you that I will multiply your buildings so everyone will have a place of their own to stay. By keeping faith in My miracles, you will see many things that you could not even imagine, but I will do it for you out of love.
Jesus said: my people, you have seen nuclear bomb preparations going on in Iran and North Korea. Many have been stressed about such bombs, missiles, and anti-missiles. These events have threatened nuclear exchanges and even possible pre-emptive strikes to slow down this bomb making.
More prayers for peace are needed in your world that craves power with nuclear weapons. There is even a desire by some for more expensive and more deadlier weapons. There are more than enough lethal weapons in your stockpiles. Why be concerned about producing more weapons to kill people? It would be better to feed the poor than spend your billions of dollars on making more weapons.
Jesus said: my people, I am the giver and taker of life, even though man wants to manipulate birth and death. It is wise to have someone, that is very sick or near death, to have the Anointing of the Sick sacrament. You feel better when someone has had these sacramental preparations for death.
Do not try to guess why I take some people early in life or allow some lives to be prolonged. You have seen some miracle healings through prayer, so be thankful for these gifts of life. When I do take someone home to Me, do not be too remorseful, but see death as your needed transition into the spiritual life that awaits you.
Friday, June 26, 2009
Jesus said: my people, in the Old Testament and in the New Testament you are seeing promises from Us made to man that We will bring things about according to Our Will. In the first reading you are seeing a promise made to Abraham that in his old age Sarah will give birth to a son.
Even though nature would not allow such births, with Me all things are possible. Isaac was indeed born and from him and Ismael there would be many descendants as the stars in the sky. In the New Testament you have My promise of salvation in My very Incarnation as a man.
I performed many miracles as today’s healing of a leper, but the most important miracle, which sealed My Covenant, was My Resurrection from the dead. This was My victory over sin and death which opened the gates of heaven and gave everyone an opportunity to be saved by My worthy sacrifice. Rejoice in My miracles which are still going on, and see that I keep My promises out of love for man and the truth of My Word.
I am calling on all of you to make your own promise or covenant of love to consecrate everything of your life over to Me out of love for Me. It is by My love that you have your miracle of life, and it is by your love for Me that you can be with Me for all eternity in heaven.
Jesus said: my people, when you come to My refuges, you will have to do some farming in growing crops and taking care of any animals, providing there is enough land. For farming you will need some non-hybrid seeds that I will multiply, and you will need fertilizer from the animal wastes.
Planting, harvesting, and storing crops may have to be done with animals where you have no gasoline or electricity. You will become an agricultural society without the need of your electronic entertainment. Your simpler life will give you more time to pray and be close to Me in the nature around you. You will give thanks to Me for My angels protecting you, and for multiplying your food, dwellings, and heating fuel. Pray for My help so you may adjust to this style of living which will help make saints out of you.
Saturday, June 27, 2009
Jesus said: my people, as you hear the readings of today, you see how I answer your prayer when you ask in faith. I fulfilled My promise to Abraham that he would have many descendants by giving him Isaac in his old age by a miracle. I performed a miracle of healing the Centurion;s servant from a distance because of his great faith. You, yourself, have seen many miracles performed for people through My grace and your faith.
I remind you all again that those, who have faith in a requested healing, can be healed through My instruments that also have faith in their prayers.
Even as you approach the end times, My instruments will be graced with more healings. When you finally come to My refuges, you will see healings of all of your sicknesses and pains as you look upon My luminous cross and drink from My miraculous springs of water. So have faith in your petitions, and your prayers will be answered.
The most important request is to pray for conversions in faith because the souls are more in need of saving than curing the body. You are dealing with free will in trying to change people’s spiritual lives, but I will hear your persistent prayer to save even the worst of sinners. Again, have faith in your prayers of conversion, and it will be granted.
(Sunday Mass) Jesus said: my people, in the Gospel you read of an unusual healing of Jairus’ daughter from the grave. I raised her from the dead to show that I not only have healing power, but I also have power over life and death. This rising from the dead is a preview of My own Resurrection which came later on.
When I consecrated the bread and wine at the Last Supper, this was to now represent My Body and Blood after I died and resurrected. This is the connection of the vision of grapes and wheat as I brought the young girl back to life.
There is also a promise being made to My faithful that after the final judgment, My faithful will also be resurrected body and soul for all eternity with Me in heaven. Rejoice that one day you will be joined with your soul and a glorified body to be whole again.
Monday, June 29, 2009: (Sts. Peter & Paul)
Jesus said: my people, you are celebrating the feast day of My dear apostles St. Peter and St. Paul. I built My Church on the Rock of St. Peter and his successors in My popes throughout the years. I promised that the gates of hell will not prevail over My Church.
I gave St. Peter the Keys of the Kingdom of heaven for all of mankind. St. Paul was a convert to the faith, and one of My great missionaries, especially to the Gentiles outside of the Jewish faith. My Church was much persecuted in the beginning and these apostles were martyred for their faith in Me.
Throughout the ages, My faithful have had to endure persecution and by My protection, I have guided My Church to preserve its roots. As you see this church burning down, this represents the division coming in My Church when it will be separated into the schismatic church and My faithful remnant.
The schismatic church will fall away teaching a New Age heresy and teaching that the sexual sins are no longer sins. My faithful remnant will preserve the faith of My apostles at their homes and eventually in My refuges. This remnant will be protected by My angels from the demons and the Antichrist. Give praise and glory to Me because I keep all of My promises. Thank My apostles and messengers for directing the faithful to all the nations.

Jesus said: my people, in today’s first reading you saw how I removed Lot and his family from Sodom by My angels leading them to a safe place away from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot’s wife looked at this destruction and she was turned into a pillar of salt for disobeying My instructions not to look at it.
This is the same lesson that I give My faithful. At the appointed time I will also have your angels lead you to a safe place of My refuges. Again I remind you to leave immediately. If you refuse to leave, the evil ones will capture you and kill you in their death camps.
My martyrs will become instant saints in heaven, but My faithful, who follow My instructions, will be protected in My refuges and all of your needs will be provided for you. You see the storm in the Gospel as I bring punishment in the hurricanes of the vision. Pray for protection and I will have mercy on My faithful, even as I protected Lot, and calmed the waters for My apostles in the boat.
It is coincidental that this reading comes today, even as you are on a boat for your cruise. Even in the storms of life, I am at your side when you petition Me to help you calm any fears. Trust in Me and I will walk with you through life’s trials advising you what to do.

Jesus said: My people, you have heard My cure of the demon possessed persons that were healed when I called the demons to leave them. The many demons drowned a large herd of swine and that is why the town people asked Me to leave.
They did not realize the miracle healing, but they only concerned themselves with the lost swine. You have seen major water damage over the years from broken levees. Now you are about to see more water damage as a punishment for allowing so much evil to occur. It is by free will that you choose these evil acts, but there are also consequences for your actions.
The evil of abortions and sexual sins have so cried out for My justice that you will see more destruction and loss of life. Pray for these sinners and to stay My hand of punishment. I call on My people to love Me and worship Me, and not to abuse My gifts and disobey My Commandments. Choose life over death and you will have your reward. Choose evil and you will see your punishment fit the crime.
Thursday, July 2, 2009
Jesus said: My people, there are some people that think the end of the Mayan Calendar could be the end of the world or the end of an age. I have not given you such a message about the end of time, because only the Father knows the time of the last day. You will know that this time is getting close by reading closely the signs of the end times and whether they are happening already.
Many experts have tried to interpret these Mayan prophecies, but it is hard to draw a firm conclusion. It is sufficient to know that a date has been chosen, but it is not for you to know this date. Instead, continue your mission to prepare peoples’ souls for this end time so they all will be ready to face Me at their judgment.
The best preparation is to pray every day and love Me and your neighbor by having good deeds in your hands. Do like Abraham in the reading and obey My commands, and you will have your reward in heaven.
Friday, July 3, 2009: (St. Thomas, our 44th wedding anniversary)
Jesus said: My people, I realize many are dressed in light attire for swimming and the hot weather, but there are too many dressed immodestly and flaunting it in public. Such immodest dress is making an unnecessary temptation for the men. This lifestyle of crude dress, overeating, gambling, and adult language comedy is not conducive to a holy life which requires a life of prayer, modesty, and humility.
As you celebrate the feast of St. Thomas and his faith in My Resurrection, you should be more focused on pleasing Me and your soul than satisfying the senses of the body. You saw in the previous readings how I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for their flagrant sexual sins. America and other nations are also calling for My justice in your sinful lifestyles without any seeking of forgiveness of your sins.
Put aside your desires of the flesh and obey My Commandments of love of God and love of neighbor. This striving to be faithful will gain you more merits in heaven than following your own ways of the world. Listen to St. Thomas in My Lord, and My God, and be grateful for My gift of Myself to all of you in My Eucharist.

Medjugorje Day By Day July 14 - GOD COMES TO HELP EVERYONE
"You will always find a friend in Jesus in the Holy Eucharist to console you in your moment of need. He will never fail to help you" (St. John Vianney).
"Grant that my soul may hunger after Thee, the Bread of Angels, the Refreshment of holy souls, our daily and supersubstantial Bread" (St. Bonaventure).
Mother Teresa - Holiness is the greatest gift that God can give us because for that reason He created us.
Padre Pio - Where there is no obedience there is no virtue, where there is no virtue, there is no goodness, no love, and where there is no love, God is not there and without God we do not go to paradise.
These form a stairway and if one step is missing from the stairway we fall down (AP).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The good of sacrifice makes the effort worthwhile
"The violin strings, if they were conscious, would complain when the musician tightened them, but this is because they do not see that the sacrificial strain was necessary before they could produce a perfect melody. Evils actually become lighter by patient endurance and benefits are poisoned by discontent."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
One day, when I was at adoration, my spirit seemed to be dying for Him, and I could no longer hold back my tears. I saw a spirit of great beauty who spoke these words to me: "Don't cry-says the Lord." After a moment I asked, "Who are you?"
He answered me, "I am one of the seven spirits who stand before the throne of God day and night and give Him ceaseless praise." Yet this spirit did not soothe my yearning, but roused me to even greater longing for God. This spirit is very beautiful, and his beauty comes from close union with God. This spirit does not leave me for a single moment, but accompanies me everywhere. (471)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press. July 14 - GOD COMES TO HELP EVERYONE
Questioned about curing the sick, the Virgin responded:
I cannot cure. God alone cures. Pray! I will pray with you. Believe firmly. Fast and do penance. I will help you as long as it is in my power to do so. God comes to help everyone. I am not God. I need your sacrifices and your prayers to help me (FY 12-83).
And in Matthew's gospel, the cure of a leper:
When Jesus had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him; and there was a leper who came too him and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean." He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, "I do choose. Be made clean!" Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Then Jesus said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them" (Mt 8:1-4).
Reflection:
In ancient Israel, leprosy was a feared disease since there was no known cure. The term was used for a variety of similar diseases, and some forms were contagious. If a person contracted the contagious type, a priest declared him a leper and banished him from his home and city. He was sent to live in a community with other lepers until he either got better or died.
Yet when the leper begged Jesus to heal him, Jesus reached out and touched him, even though his skin was covered with the dread disease. Through a single touch, Jesus heals; when he speaks a single word, demons flee his presence.
As Our Lady affirms today, her Son has authority over all earthly disease and every form of evil. In the future, when God cleanses the earth from sin, there will be no more sickness and death. Jesus' healing miracles, in scripture as well as in Medjugorje, are a foretaste of what will one day be experienced in the kingdom of God.
Application:
Today, lift up to God in prayer those who are sick in body, mind, or spirit.
Remember them especially on your next fast day.
SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH
"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father through His Divine Son who died on the cross and rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here state your intention)."
Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.
Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails). Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

I did not speak without it being necessary to do so.
I was able through God’s grace to reclaim swamplands, so that the brothers might grow their own provisions.
God graced me to administer the gathered monasteries containing a thousand brother monks and priests. The Almighty allowed me long life. At 90 years of age, my strength sill endured.
Herbs and roots, and sparse drinking water proved my sustenance. The psalms and prayers my real food for grace.
An angel once appeared to me to inform me of God’s plan, that through His work in me, 10,000 salvations of souls, people would gain faith. The angel told me I would not be lacking for anything, God would provide even up to death, as long as I called upon the Almighty.
At first, I could not really read. But God allowed me the grace to memorize the Scriptures, and then actually read them. The Good Lord graced me to expel evil spirits.
When brother monks visited, I would provide for their hospitality, and resting place, water, and building materials.

"Pray daily for the Church"
Dear Friends,
Address to the Gentiles
On the following Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and with violent abuse contradicted what Paul said. Both Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first, but since you reject it and condemn yourselves as unworthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.
For so the Lord has commanded us, ‘I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may be an instrument of salvation to the ends of the earth.’” The Gentiles were delighted when they heard this and glorified the word of the Lord. All who were destined for eternal life came to believe, and the word of the Lord continued to spread through the whole region.
The Jews, however, incited the women of prominence who were worshipers and the leading men of the city, stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their territory. So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium. The disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit. Acts 13:44–52
We had a cloudy day yesterday and some sun. The rain started overnight and it is raining this morning with thunder in the distance.
I celebrated Holy Mass at two churches yesterday. I was at the Assumption Church at Miminegash at 9:00 a.m. and at the Immaculate Conception Church at 11:00 a.m. In the evening I went to the celebration in honor of the Year of the Priesthood and we had a great meal. Many priests were present including our retired Bishop Vernon Fougere.
I wish to let you know once more that I will have a retreat next week starting on July 22 at 2:00 p.m. and it will end on July 24 at noon. All are welcome. Here is the message given by God the Father to Joseph. Our heavenly Father spoke to him these words,
“My son and follower of Jesus, My beloved, I bless you and fill you with the graces you need. As Paul and Barnabas were sent in the power of the Holy Spirit to spread the Word of God in many countries, you too are sent to all those who invite you to bring as many people as possible to Jesus and to Me. I am calling many to go out and preach the Word so they may believe in My Son Jesus and receive eternal life.
I desire with all My Heart that every human being be a friend of My Son Jesus and receive salvation. I call all the members of the Church to dedicate themselves to Me and do all they can with the graces they receive to bring those who do not believe in My Son and in His Church. Pray daily for the Church to grow in numbers and in holiness. Pray also for the priests that they may be strong and courageous in their great work. I bless you all.”
Father Melvin

"Come and show your love to the Father" Dear Friends,
Herod’s Death
Herod had long been very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, who now came to him in a body. After winning over Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they sued for peace because their country was supplied with food from the king’s territory. On an appointed day, Herod, attired in royal robes, and seated on the rostrum, addressed them publicly. The assembled crowd cried out, This is the voice of a god, not of a man. At once the angel of the Lord struck him down because he did not ascribe the honor to God, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last. But the word of God continued to spread and grow. Acts 12:20-24
Here is a message from Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,
Every action will have consequences for eternity. If one commits bad actions and does not repent, he or she will suffer in the next world. Take King Herod for example. When the people of Tyre and Sidon said to him that his voice was the voice of a god and not of man, he agreed with this in his pride instead of ascribing this honor to God. Because of his pride, he was struck down and died and was eaten by worms.
This shows, My brothers and sisters, that you must be humble and not think of yourselves as gods for you are human beings created by God. Remember there is only one God, the Creator of all that exist. He has all power and holds everything in existence. He will never have an end and He never had a beginning. All human beings have as a duty to acknowledge Him and to worship Him.
He loves every person but He hates sin. Repent of all your sins and you will be His friend. The Father sent Me into the world to live as a human being in order to suffer and die for you for your salvation. Come and show your love to the Father and thank Him for all He has done for you.

"Spend time with Me in prayer every day" Dear Friends,
Mockery of the Soldiers
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus inside the praetorium and gathered the whole cohort around him. They stripped off his clothes and threw a scarlet military cloak about him. Weaving a crown out of thorns, they placed it on his head, and a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!They spat upon him and took the reed and kept striking him on the head. And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the cloak, dressed him in his own clothes, and led him off to crucify him. Matthew 27:27-31
Here is a message given by Our Lord to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,
It was on Friday that I suffered My Passion. As the reading shows, the Roman soldiers mocked Me and they struck Me on the head with a reed. They called Me the King of the Jews and these words were put on the cross above My head. Indeed I am the King of the whole universe and all are called to My Kingdom.
The scourging and the crowning with thorns brought Me great suffering. At the end I was covered in blood from My head to My feet. My flesh was hanging in pieces all over My body and the blood flowed over My face because of the crown of thorns driven into My head. I suffered all this horrible pain for each one of you because I love you and I wanted to pay the price for your sins. Through My passion and death, I was able to open heaven for all those who would follow Me in the future.
Come, My dear brothers and sisters, and look at the crucifix today and see that I died for you. I love you and I want you with Me today and every day. Repent of all your sins and spend time with Me in prayer every day. Come to church to the Eucharistic Celebration and receive Me in Holy Communion. We will then be united in faith and love.
Father Melvin

WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 2009
MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,
IT IS A NIGHT OF DEEP PRAYER FOR YOU HAVE COME TO THIS PLACE TO PRAY WITH THE MOTHER OF GOD. I DRAW YOU ALL TO ME MAKING EACH PRAYER FRAGRANT AND PRESENTING EACH ONE TO THE FATHER. I TELL YOU MY LOVES, HE DOES NOT HESITATE TO TAKE THEM TO HIMSELF AND HE HOLDS THEM - ALL OF THEM.
YOUR PRAYERS TAKE ON MY FRAGRANCE, BUT THEY COME FROM YOUR HEARTS, THUS THEY ARE ALREADY PLEASING TO HIM. SO MANY DO NOT PRAY. SO MANY DO NOT KNOW THE POWER OF PRAYER - AND SO IT IS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ASKED TO GIVE SO MUCH, FOR SO MANY.
IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT YOU ARE TIRED AND MANY TIMES YOU MUST GIVE EXTRA EFFORT TO COMPLY. BUT I SAY TO YOU, DO NOT GROW WEARY. REMEMBER THE POWER OF PRAYER. HOLD FAST TO THIS TRUTH AND RECALL IT OFTEN.
LITTLE ONES, YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN MUCH. SO MUCH THAT YOU CANNOT EVEN RECALL ALL THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED. BE GRATEFUL, BE GRATEFUL. YOUR GIFTS AND BLESSINGS CONTINUE, EVEN AS WE SPEAK. YOU HAVE MY PROMISE, YOU HAVE GOD.
IN THE DAYS AHEAD, I CAUTION YOU TO BE ALERT. THOSE WHO ARE THE LEADERS IN THE WORLD ARE GREATLY CONFUSED AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS NEEDED. THEY DO NOT SEE THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE, BUT PROFESS LOVE AND CONCERN FOR ALL. BE AWAKE TO THEIR DECEITFUL WAYS.
THEY WILL DECEIVE THEMSELVES AND FIND THEMSELVES VULNERABLE AND WEAK BEFORE GOD AND MAN. TRUST THAT WHAT IS TO TRANSPIRE IS OF GOD AND THEN WATCH - BE ALERT. RECOGNIZE GOD?S HAND AND BE GLAD.
I GIVE TO EACH OF YOU MY KISS, MY BLESSING. THE BLESSING OF CHRIST FALLS UPON YOU. GIVE PRAISE AND GRATITUDE - NOW AND FOREVER.
Message For America, from The Father to O. Ann S. Hoernschemeyer, 7-9-09, 8:20 a.m.
The land will be healed of all evil that is already here and evil in process of being imposed on My remnant. Sons and daughters stand up for your Jesus and let your voices be heard. This is the time.
The one- world people that believe they can take over have many surprises coming. Tell My children; open their spiritual ears and see with their spiritual eyes what I Am, The I Am is doing. You are My vessels; you are all I have, precious children of the Most High.
Take your places in battle now. Do this for your Jesus and Yes, your reward in My Glory awaits you. Receive My fire for your Holy Boldness that is upon the earth now with miracles upon miracles. Your Father who loves you forever
Medjugorje Day By Day July 10 - JESUS GIVES HIMSELF AT THE MASS
O Saving Victim, opening wide The gate of Heaven to man below; Our foes press on from every side; Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow. To Thy great Name be endless praise, Immortal Godhead, One in Three. Oh, grant us endless length of days In our true native land with Thee. Amen. (English version of "O Salutaris Hostia")
Mother Teresa - The Blame Game!
"The self-indulgent always find fault with others. The blame has to be placed somewhere: the boss, the nagging wife, the teachers, the politicians or the nasty man at the next desk. The sense of justice is so rooted in the human heart that responsibility must be laid on some shoulders; if not on self, where it belongs, then on another, where it does not. The self-pity awakens a sorrow which leads to despair and remorse."
Meditations by Padre Pio - Even when reprimanded one must be courteous and gentle (GB 34).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The difference between the penitent and proud"Take the other case of those who suffer unjustly but with faith and love of God in their hearts. They may have a sadness in their hearts from pain and torture, but never remorse. They end in penitence or a making up for guilt by bearing patiently the trials of others. This is illustrated in the case of Judas and Peter. There is much similarity between the two, up to a point. Our Lord warned both of them that they would fail; He even told them that each would be a devil."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - January 10, 1937. I asked the Lord today to give me strength in the morning so that I could go to receive Holy Communion. My Master, I ask You with all my thirsting heart to give me, if this is according to Your holy will, any suffering and weakness that You like-I want to suffer all day and all night-but please, I fervently beg You, strengthen me for the one moment when I am to receive Holy Communion. You see very well, Jesus, that here they do not bring Holy Communion to the sick; so, if You do not strengthen me for that moment so that I can go down to the chapel, how can I receive You in the Mystery of Love? And You know how much my heart longs for You. O my sweet Spouse, what's the good of all these reasonings? You know how ardently I desire You, and if You so choose You can do this for me.
On the following morning, I felt as if I were perfectly well; the faintings and the weaknesses ceased. But as soon as I returned from the chapel, all the sufferings and weaknesses immediately returned, as if they had been waiting for me. But I had no fear of them at all, because I had been nourished by the Bread of the Strong. I boldly look at everything; even death itself I look straight in the eye. (876)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.
- July 10 - JESUS GIVES HIMSELF AT THE MASS
Speaking of the Mass, the Blessed virgin said to Jelena, My children, I wish that the holy Mass would be the day's gift to you. Attend it, wish for it to begin. Jesus gives himself to you at the Mass. Therefore, look forward to that moment, for than you are cleansed. Pray a great deal that the Holy Spirit will renew your parish, for if people attend Mass with lukewarmness, they will return to their homes cold, with an empty heart. (LJM 3-30-84)
St. Mark offers us this account of Jesus' institution of the Eucharist:
While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, "Take; this is my body."
Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it. He said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many." (Mk 14:22-24
Reflection:
The Mass is by far the most precious gift of God to his people, for it is the gift of himself. St. Augustine wrote that, "Although God is all powerful, he is unable to give more; though supremely wise, he knows not how to give more; though vastly rich, he has no more to give."
St. Thomas Aquinas, one of the great theologians of the church wrote that, "The celebration of holy Mass is as valuable as the death of Jesus on the cross."
Padre Pio, the contemplative friar who carried the wounds of Christ, made the remarkable statement that, "It would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do so without the holy Mass."
And last, from Pope Pius X, who allowed children to receive communion: "If angels could envy, they would envy us holy communion."
Application:
Today, reflect prayerfully on these lines from St. Anthony Claret:
When we go to holy communion, all of us receive the same Lord Jesus, but not all receive the same grace...Our differences in disposition are the reason. When a branch is grafted on a tree, the more similar the branch is to the tree, the better the graft will succeed. Likewise, the more the one going to holy communion resembles Jesus, the better will the fruits of holy communion be.
Medjugorje Day By Day July 11 - ST. BENEDICT, ABBOT
November 25, 1987
"Dear children! Today also I call each one of you to decide to surrender again everything completely to me. Only that way will I be able to present each of you to God. Dear children, you know that I love you immeasurably and that I desire each of you for myself, but God has given to all a freedom which I lovingly respect and humbly submit to.
I desire, dear children, that you help so that everything God has planned in this parish shall be realized. If you do not pray, you shall not be able to recognize my love and the plans which God has for this parish and for each individual. Pray that Satan does not entice you with his pride and deceptive strength. I am with you and I want you to believe me, that I love you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
"Make use of devotion to the Blessed Sacrament as a means of persevering in the practice of virtue. Let us go to Him toward evening and tell Him about our shortcomings, let us ask Him for help and forgiveness. Our Lord loves us, He thinks of us constantly, and His glance follows us every moment of the day" (Rafael Cardinal Merry del Val, Servant of God).
Mother Teresa - Whatever you do, even if you help somebody cross the road, you do it to Jesus.
Meditations by Padre Pio - To lack charity is to wound the pupil of God's eye. What is more delicate than the pupil of the eye? To lack charity is like sinning against nature (AdFP 555).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen - The difference between Pity and Penitence
"Both Peter and Judas did deny the Master and both repented or were sorry. But the Greek word used in the Scripture is not the same in both instances. Judas repented unto himself - he had self-pity. Peter repented unto the Lord - he had penitence, sorrow and a desire for amendment. Peter cleaned the weeds out of the garden, but Judas killed the nocturnal brood of remorseful serpents in his breast by hanging himself."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - O Lord, I feel your grace and Your peace filling my poor soul. I feel overwhelmed by Your mercy, O Lord. You forgive me, which is more than I dared to hope for or could imagine. Your goodness surpasses all my desires. And now, filled with gratitude for so many graces. I invite You to my heart. I wandered, like a prodigal child gone astray; but you did not cease to be my Father. Increase Your mercy toward me, for You see how weak I am.
Jesus: Child, speak no more of your misery; it is already forgotten. Listen, My child, to what I desire to tell you. Come close to My wounds and draw from the Fountain of Life whatever your heart desires. Drink copiously from the Fountain of Life and you will not weary on your journey. Look at the splendors of My mercy and do not fear the enemies of your salvation. Glorify My mercy. (1485b)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press. July 11 - ST. BENEDICT, ABBOT
The Blessed Mother gave Jelena this explanation after she saw a beautiful pearl divide itself. Each half sparkled and then faded away:
Jelena, everyone's heart is like this lovely pearl. When one belongs completely to the Lord, one shines even in the darkness. But when one is divided—a little to Satan, a little to sin, a little to everything— one's heart fades away and becomes worthless. (LJM 6-15-85)
And from the book of Revelation:
I know your works; you are neither hot nor cold. I wish you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold not hot, I will spit you out of my mouth. (Rv 3:15-16)
Reflection:
St. Benedict, the father of Western monasticism, was known for his steadfast loyalty and love of the Lord, and he carefully inculcated these virtues in his friars. Born in 480 and educated in Rome, he began the monastic life at Subiaco where he gathered disciples, and then departed for Monte Cassino. There he established the famous monastery and composed the Benedictine Rule, which spread throughout Europe.
His undivided faith, which Our Lady calls us to today, can be easily discerned in his writing. From the Rule of St. Benedict:
What could be more delightful, dearest brothers, than the voice of Our Lord's invitation to us? In his loving kindness he reveals to us the way of life. And so, girded with faith and the performance of good works, let us follow in his paths by the guidance of the gospel; then we shall deserve to see him who has called us unto his kingdom. If we wish to attain a dwelling-place in his kingdom we shall not reach it unless we hasten there by our good deeds.
Application:
Today, pray for an undivided heart that expresses itself in good deeds for others.
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!
