But one night, Peter dreamed he had go with Mark, to Rome and then to Alexandria, Kemet. Mark preached in Rome, and then returned to Kemet. His efforts drew many to Christ. He finally landed in Alexandria.
Another tradition by Eusebius, accords Mark the first bishop of Alexandria. As he entered the city gates, a sandal rap broke. A shoemaker was chosen to fix the leather—Anianus. He became Mark’s first disciple and convert to Yeshua, Jesus the Christ in Alexandria.
Enemies, however, sought out Mark. The writer of the Gospel of Mark after sufficient teaching, appointed Anianus bishop, and ordained three priests and seven deacons. Leaving the city, he told them to "serve and comfort the faithful brethren.”
After some years, Mark returned. The Christian community had grown considerably. But his enemies had not forgotten him. They jailed him.
On the following morning, Mark’s neck was tied with a rope. The malefactors dragged him by the neck from Alexandria up to the little port of Bucoles until he died.
They attempted to burn the body. The flames would not touch it. Christians in the community claimed the remains, burying it in a Church Mark had founded. It is said he is the first Christian martyr of the Church in Kemet.
He is credited with writing one of the four Christian canonical gospels, or at least his name and influence is attached to it. Severus, Bishop of Al-Ushmunain, in late tenth century in his Life of Apostle and Evangelist Mark, said Mark was one of the wine pouring servants that Jesus turned from water at marriage feast of Cana. Severus goes on to say that, Mark’s house was where Jesus appeared to disciples who were hiding after His resurrection dead.

But through the grace of God, I was called to Christianity, after visiting Jerusalem, the places where Yeshua Maryam, and the apostles walked and talked, the Palestine Holy Land.
At a memorial service there, called the Exaltation of the Cross, I pressed through the crowds to get a good place in the Church. But a mysterious force did not allow me to enter it. I could not pass the doorway.
I became overwhelmed with grief for my life’s activities up to then. I spiritually asked Maryam for her blessing,help and remedy. An interior locution (voice) told me to go beyond the Jordan River. That a voice told me go to the desert, which I did immediately. I became a hermitess, and for 50 years practiced that in repentence, living on herbs and berries.
Now one day a holy man, Zosimus from Palestine, and a friend of God came to visit. He informed me he would return in a year. When he returned, I had died, in 421 A.D. A lion with its paws, helped him dig my grave. Zosimus wrote of me.

FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"John spoke very clearly about Me"
Monday, December 15, 2008
Dear Friends,
"The angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah, standing at the right of the altar of incense. Zechariah was troubled by what he saw, and fear came upon him. But the angel said to him, 'Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear a son, and you shall name him John.
And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He will drink neither wine nor strong drink.
He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb, and he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of fathers toward children and the disobedient to the understanding of the righteous, to prepare a people fit for the Lord.'" Luke 1:11-17
Here is another message from Our Lord addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him saying, "Next week you will celebrate the Great Feast of Christmas. It was six months before My birth that John the Baptist was born. His parents did not have any children until their old age. Elizabeth was said to be barren but one day the angel came to Zechariah, her husband, and he told him that his wife was to have a son.
They would call him John. He would be filled with the Holy Spirit and he would have the spirit and power of Elijah. He was the one who prepared the way for My public life. He introduced Me to the people when I came to the Jordan River to be baptized by Him. He is the greatest of the prophets and he played a great role in My life. He is a martyr, as he was killed at the command of King Herod.
I would like you all to read the passages in the Bible, especially in St. Luke's Gospel, that give the story of this holy man. He was born after an intervention from heaven. He went to live in the desert in great suffering and with very little to eat. He spent his time in prayer getting ready for the mission he was given by the Father. He spoke very clearly about Me as the Messiah, the Saviour, who was coming to save the people.
My baptism at the hands of John the Baptist was very important. It was at that moment that I gave My 'yes' to the Father to the mission He had given Me. I accepted to give My life for the salvation of all the people of the world. Today I call them all again to believe in Me and to follow Me so that they may be saved. I bless you all."

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2008 - CORE GROUP
MY MOST PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,
I GREET YOU AND WELCOME YOU INTO THE PLACE OF RESERVE IN MY HEART. I GREET YOU WITH SUCH LOVE THAT ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS THE DEPTHS. I LONG FOR YOU MY CHILDREN AND NOW I GIVE TO YOU LITTLE PETALS FROM HEAVEN.
IT HAS BEEN SOME TIME SINCE I HAVE GIVEN YOU THESE WORDS MEANT ESPECIALLY FOR YOU. I HAVE HELD MUCH IN MY HEART BECAUSE IT IS NOT YET TIME FOR ME TO CALL YOU TOGETHER FOR YOUR FINAL INSTRUCTIONS.
MY CHILDREN, I HOLD YOU TODAY AS BABES, JUST AS I HELD JESUS SO LONG AGO. I HOLD YOU LIKE THIS BECAUSE YOU HAVE COME SO FAR IN YOUR JOURNEY AND YOU HAVE GROWN SO TIRED AND YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED MUCH PAIN, SORROW, AND LONELINESS. THE WORLD HAS CAST YOU ASIDE JUST AS THEY HAVE DONE TO JESUS.
YET YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED A JOY THAT FEW HAVE EVER KNOWN. LITTLE ONES, YOU HAVE BEEN NOURISHED BY THE TRUTH. YOU HAVE BEEN FED AS THOUGH INFANTS UNTIL NOW, WHEN YOU HOLD THE TRUTH IN MATURITY.
BECAUSE OF YOUR FAITH AND FIDELITY, IT CAN BE SAID THAT YOU HAVE GROWN IN WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING AND ALL THIS IS NEEDED FOR THE GREETING OF JESUS. OFTEN I HAVE SAID TO YOU, JESUS WILL KNOW YOU. HE KNOWS YOU NOW.
HE HAS KNOWN YOU ALWAYS. IT WAS FROM YOUR BEGINNING THAT YOU WHERE CHOSEN EACH ONE SEPARATE, YET COMING TOGETHER IN UNITY. OH MY CHILDREN I CANNOT TELL YOU, FOR NO WORDS SUFFICE, HOW BLESSED YOU ARE. YOU ARE LOVED DEAR CHILDREN WITHOUT BLEMISH.
MY LOVES, YOU COME TODAY AWAY FROM THE WORLD. IT IS A TIME FOR YOU TO BE TOGETHER, PRAYING AND CONVERSING. THIS YOU NEED THAT YOU ARE UP ON EMOTIONS, TRIALS, AND JOYS.
YOU MUST ALWAYS BE FOR EACH OTHER. THE HOUR OF WAITING WILL SOON COME TO AN END, AND THEN YOU MUST STAND TOGETHER, STRONG AND COURAGEOUS, HELPING OTHERS TO REMAIN WITH YOU, THAT IN UNITY YOU PASS TO THE NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH THIS WILL BE A TIME THAT WILL DRAW GREAT JOY, SO MUCH SO, THAT THIS OVERPOWERING JOY COULD NOT BE WITHSTOOD, EXCEPT WHEN YOU ALL STAND TOGETHER.
UNITY HAS BEEN A WORD OF GREAT DISTINCTION, DWELL ON ITS MEANING. FOCUS ON YOUR PURPOSE AND THEN WITH ALL YOUR HEARTS REJOICE. EVEN NOW WHEN YOU GROW SO WEARY, REJOICE. YOUR REWARDS WILL BE MANY AND THEY WILL BEGIN WITH THOSE
IN YOUR OWN FAMILIES. BUT YOUR PERSONAL JOY WILL COME WHEN YOU LOOK INTO THE EYES OF JESUS BECAUSE HIS LOVE FOR YOU SURPASSES ALL ELSE.
NOW I SPEAK TO YOU OF THESE DAYS OF ADVENT. REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE PREPARING FOR A GREAT CELEBRATION, WHEN ALL OF HEAVEN RESOUNDS WITH PRAISE FOR JESUS.
PREPARE WELL, NOT TO EXCLUDE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES, BUT TO KEEP PEACE IN YOUR HEARTS AND IN YOU HOMES. A GREAT GRACE WILL BE YOURS AT THIS TIME AND ALL IN UNITY SHALL RECEIVE IT. FROM YOUR SOULS WILL COME A LIGHT AND ALL YOU LOVE WILL SEE IT.
SOME MAY REMARK ON IT, BUT MOST WILL REMAIN SILENT, SINCE THEY FEEL INADEQUATE TO DESCRIBE WHAT THEY SEE AND WHAT THEY FEEL. BE QUIET, LET GOD DO HIS WORK THROUGH YOU. LET THE PEACE OF JESUS ENCOMPASS YOU AS YOU UNKNOWINGLY TOUCH MANY HEARTS AND SOULS.
BELIEVE IN WHAT IS SAID TO YOU AND DO NOT GO ABOUT QUESTIONING WHAT IS BEING DONE THROUGH THIS GRACE. ACCEPT THIS MY CHILDREN AS ONE OF YOUR GREATEST GIFTS UP TO THIS TIME. ACCEPT WHAT IS YOURS PRAYING AND THANKING GOD FOR HIS OUTPOURING OF LOVE.
LITTLE ONES, YOU STRUGGLE NOW WITH THE LACK OF SHEPHERDING OF YOUR PRIESTS. CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THOSE WHO SO NEGLECT THEIR FLOCKS. YOU ARE THE SENTINELS OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST, SO DO WHAT YOU CAN TO MAKE REPARATION FOR THOSE PRIESTS WHO SO NEGLECT THEIR SHEEP.
MY LOVES, YOU CARRY MUCH BURDENS AND YOU ARE HAVING TO SACRIFICE YOUR FREQUENT RECEPTION OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN. HOWEVER, YOU ARE NOT ABANDONED IN THESE TIMES, BUT YOU ARE MADE AWARE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF RECEIVING JESUS WHO NOURISHES BODY AND SOUL.
YOU WILL BE CARED FOR MY CHILDREN, BUT YOUR YEARNING IS ALSO A PREPARATION FOR WHAT IS TO COME. YOU WILL FALL IN ADORATION WHEN YOUR EYES MEET THE EYES OF JESUS. HE WILL PICK YOU UP AND BRING YOU BESIDE HIM AND YOU WILL TRULY, TRULY EXPERIENCE AS NEVER BEFORE THE SPLENDOR OF HEAVEN.
MY PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN, I LOVE YOU SO DEEPLY. DESPITE YOUR WEAKNESSES AND FAILINGS, YOU REMAIN PRECIOUS TO ME. I GIVE TO YOU AND TO THE ONE WHO COULD NOT BE WITH YOU, HE IS ALWAYS WITH ME, A PIECE OF MY HEART THAT YOU CAN CALL YOUR OWN. YOU HAVE EARNED THIS TREASURE WITH PERSEVERANCE AND WITH TRUE LOVE. JUST AS I LOVE YOU, I KNOW YOUR LOVE FOR ME AND MOST ESPECIALLY FOR MY SON. I GO TO YOU INDIVIDUALLY AND KISS YOU, AND I WHISPER
TO EACH HEART, I LOVE YOU. I AM YOUR MOTHER AND I WILL SEE TO ALL YOUR NEEDS. LET ME RESIDE WITHIN YOU THAT I CAN HELP YOU WELCOME JESUS FOR ALL ETERNITY.
I BLESS YOU ONE AND ALL IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY GHOST. I BLESS YOU AS QUEEN AND I BLESS YOU AS ONLY A MOTHER CAN BLESS HER CHILDREN.
I WILL HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND THESE PETALS FROM HEAVEN, AND I WILL HELP YOU PRAISE AND THANK GOD FOREVER, FOREVER, AND FOREVER.
Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 15 - I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS JOY
"The season of Advent is the perfect opportunity for us to recall the worthy
reason why the Holy Father convoked the extraordinary Year of the Eucharist:
so that we would 'contemplate more intensely the face of the Incarnate Word.'
For Advent prepares us to experience that incomparable moment at Christmas
when we will behold God's human face in Jesus" (Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P.).
Remember there's no I in team... (but there is a M and an E)
Mother Teresa -
Let us pray for one another.
Let us pray that we may accomplish our life's mission, which is to be holy. Let us pray that we will be the love and kindness of God in today's world.
Meditations by Padre Pio - To fear losing yourself in the arms of Divine Goodness, is stranger than the fear of an infant held tightly in its mother's arms.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
We do have control
Just as there is a right and wrong theory about the sun and the earth, so there is a right and wrong theory about external circumstances. If we revolve about what happens on the outside, then the latter determines our moods and attitudes. But if we make what is external revolve around us, we can determine the amount of their influence.
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - On Friday evening during the rosary, when I was thinking about tomorrow's journey and about the importance of the matter which I was to present to Father Andrasz,* fear seized me at the sight of my misery and incapability, and of the greatness of God's work. Crushed by this suffering, I submitted myself to the will of God.
At that moment, I saw Jesus, in a bright garment, near my kneeler. He said, Why are you afraid to do My will? Will I not help you as I have done thus far? Repeat every one of My demands to those who represent Me on earth, but do only what they tell you to do. At that, a certain strength entered my soul. (489)
In the evening, when I was walking in the garden saying my rosary and came to the cemetery, I opened the gate a little and began to pray for a while, and I asked them interiorly, "You are very happy are you not?" Then I heard the words, "We are happy in the measure that we have fulfilled God's will"-and then silence as before. I became introspective and reflected for a long time on how I am fulfilling God's will and how I am profiting from the time that God has given me. (515)
*Father Sopocko, not sure of Sister Faustina's inspirations regarding the establishing of a new community, wanted to refer the matter to one more priest for consideration, and for that reason he told Sister Faustina to give an account of all the commands she received to her former confessor, Father Andrasz, S.J., in Cracow.

Quote of the Day Just as we can never separate asceticism from mysticism, so in St. John of the Cross we find darkness and light, suffering and joy, sacrifice and love united together so closely that they seem at times to be identified. -Thomas Merton
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press. -
DECEMBER 15 - I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS JOY
Our Lady speaks of joy in this Advent message :
Dear children, I invite you to pray durin this special
time, so that you may experience the joy of meeting
with the newborn Jesus.
Dear children, I wish that you live days as I lived
them. I want to guide you and show you this joy, to
which I want tto bring all of you. That is why I ask
you, dear children, to pray and abandon yourselves
totally to me (Weekly Message December 12, 1986).
Joy also resounds in these verses from Philippians :
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.
Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord
is near. Do not worry about anything, but in
everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving
let your requests be made known to God. And the
peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will
guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Phil
4 :4-7).
Reflections :
Not surprising, the Blessed Mother equates joy with
prayer, in which we encounter the living God. « I am
calling you to pray, » she says, « in order that you
experience the joy of meeting the newborn Jesus.
» Prayerful encounters with the Lord are often
joyous, for that is the divine nature.
Samuel Gordon has written that joy is a distinctly
Christian word, and a Christian experience. "It is
the reverse of happiness," he says; "Happiness is
the result of what happens of an agreeable sort. Joy
has its spring deep down inside, and that spring
never runs dry, no matter what happens of an agreeable
sort.
Joy has its spring deep down inside, and that
spring never runs dry, no matter what happens. Only
Jesus gives that joy. He had joy, singing its music
within, even under the shadow of the cross."
Joy, then, is the echo of God's life within us. May
our prayer this Advent give rise to this joy in all
our hearts.
Application :
Today, put into action the advice Our Lady gives in
her message : "I want to guide you to joy.
Therefore, pray and abandon yourselves totally to me."
THE GLORIES OF MARY
(These thoughts are taken from the book written by
St.Alphonsus Liguori, and published by the Catholic
Book Publishing Co. New York)
(Begins at : Were still in Chapter 1 sub section 2,
third paragraph page 30)
Mother most loving! O most compassionate Mother!
Thanks to you forever! And may God too be thanked,
Who gave you to us for a Mother and a perfect refuge
in all the dangers of this life!
Be of good heart, then, all your children of Mary,
Remember that she accepts all those who want to be her
children. Why be afraid of losing your soul, when
such a Mother defends and protects you?
« I will rejoice, » says St. Bernard, « for whatever
judgment is pronunced on me, it depends on, and must
come from, my Brother and my Mother. »
The same feeling makes St. Anselm cry out with joy : «
O happy confidence ! O perfect refuge! The Mother of
God is my Mother. What firm trust we should have,
then, since our salvation depends on the judgment of a
good Brother and a tender Mother! »
So it is our Mother who calls us in these words of
Sacred Scripture : « Let whoever is simple come to me
» (Prv 9 :4). Children always have their mother's
name on their lips, and when they are frightened, or
in danger, they cry out immediately, Mother! Mother!
O most tender Mary, most loving Mother! This is just
what you desire. You want us to become children and
call out to you in every danger. For you long to help
and save us, as you have saved all your children who
had recourse to you.
Message to J.N.S.R. September 19,2008
To save Russia
September 19, 2008
JESUS: My child, I left you alone and I had warned you. The Evil One intended to make you fall. But My Plan was coming to your rescue, and it was necessary for you to suffer until this hour, with no help, with no relief. For if you had fallen, many would have fallen with you.
You needed to be resigned to suffer for your God who did place His Confidence in you. All by yourself, facing the one who shamelessly kept frightening you, by knocking furiously every night, on the wardrobe in your bedroom. You have shown much courage, your Guardian Angel assisted you.
A war was in preparation and in order to show that everything comes from God, it was through the idol of these times, that I came to demonstrate to you, that to God, nothing is impossible. Money has been the main factor of this destruction, a worldwide money crisis.
At the same time, the Evil One planned to use it against Me. For, in spite of everything I was able to tell you, very few people were aware that money, very often came up against God, against the choice that the envious man must make: choose to serve God or money.
Therefore, to demonstrate to you that God can do whatever He likes with His enemies, by using all the idols that the Evil One has put up between God and man, money has become, in the Will of God, the main factor of Peace, by withdrawing from that country, the spirit of war.
In order to arrive at this, it was necessary for it to see itself at the level of all other countries, running short facing this fatality. Facing this crisis of the financial system that touched all the richest countries, and among them, the first one is Russia.
God is asking you and first of all His Church, to trust in His Holy Word, and to offer Him as many Prayers and Masses with all your Love, as much as are billions and billions of euros and dollars are needed to save the world banks. So, how many Masses and Masses are needed to save your poor Humanity, and for God to give you your New Earth!
JESUS Christ

Our Lady final pleas to littlest of children December 13, 2008
My dear, dear children I want you to PRAY, PRAY because you cannot comprehend the changes the world will go through in the coming months.
Prepare yourselves with much PRAYER. I do not want to lose any of My children but so many are unprepared for what is to come. So many will be lost to fear.
My eyes are bleeding for My children. The danger is so close. Console My IMMACULATE HEART with your PRAYERS.
I AM MAKING THESE FINAL PLEAS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. PRAY My dear children, the events that are coming will change the world forever.

Jesus Tells Us About Our Heavenly Home
We attended our usual 8:00 AM Mass at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows. There I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed for all with special needs and intentions. After making an Act Of Contrition, I received the most precious body and blood of Christ in the sacrament of Holy Communion.
On my knees I prayed and communed with Jesus. I asked Him to please cover me with His most precious blood and to help me to shut out all distraction and that I might discern only visions and voices that truly came just from Him.
Then I prayed, Speak Lord (if it be His will), Your servant listens.
Jesus immediately responded to my prayer saying, Eileen My child, often My children hear words and understand not the meaning of those words, and My children often see actions that are not accompanied by words. Interpreting actions and the words of others is necessary for you in understanding life.
Yet I assure you that in My Kingdom, words and actions are not necessary in order to feel love, peace, joy and contentment. I ask all My children to make their words and actions a confirmation of their desire to live for eternity in My Kingdom.
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. I love you as I love all My children. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.
SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH
"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful
guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of
God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father
through His Divine Son who died on the cross and
rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the
Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain
from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here
state your intention)."
Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.
Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails. Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!
