"All peacemakers are blessed by Me"
Thursday, January 15, 2009
Dear Friends,
The Beatitudes
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."
Matthew 5:9
Here is another message from Our Lord and Saviour to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, "Almost every day you hear of war in some part of the world. In other countries there are civil wars and many people are killed and there is much suffering. There is no peace also in many families. These are torn apart because of many issues and often the issue is money. You can ask yourself this question: with how many people am I not at peace? The second question is this: what should I do so that peace can return among us?
Peace is a great gift and it comes from Me, Your Saviour. After My resurrection I greeted the Apostles with the words, 'Peace be with you.' I am always ready to give you this peace if you open your heart to Me. I gave you this beatitude: 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.' If you have peace in your heart then you can become a peacemaker. This is a great gift and all those who are My followers should be peacemakers. You must never bring division between people but instead this gift of peace.
My dear friends, you will truly be the children of God the Father if you promote peace among your family and friends. Pray for all of them that they will be able to forgive those who hurt them and live in harmony with all of them. All peacemakers are blessed by Me and all will live in My love forever."
Father Melvin
Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 16 - HAVE CONFIDENCE IN ME
Mother Teresa -
We have to give until it hurts. We need to give from the resources we would like to keep for ourselves. We need to give to the point of sacrificing. We must give something that we find hard to give up.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Terrible is the justice of God. But let us not forget also that His mercy is infinite.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Respect for the map helps man keep his bearings
"In other ages, though men lost virtue, they still admired it; though they ran from the battlefield at the first need of courage, they still admired the hero who fought and suffered; though they threw away the map of the roadway of life, they never denied the need of a map. But, in our generation, men look for shadow in the radiance of every virtue."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
On one occasion, Jesus gave me to know that when I pray for intentions that people...entrust to me, He is always ready to grant His graces, but souls do not always want to accept them: My Heart overflows with great mercy for souls, and especially for poor sinners.
If only they could understand that I am the best of Fathers to them and that it is for them that the Blood and Water flowed from My Heart as from a fount overflowing with mercy. For them I dwell in the tabernacle as King of Mercy. I desire to bestow My graces upon souls, but they do not want to accept them.
You, at least, come to Me as often as possible and take these graces they do not want to accept. In this way you will console My Heart. Oh, how indifferent are souls to so much goodness, to so many proofs of love! My Heart drinks only of the ingratitude and forgetfulness of souls living in the world. They have time for everything, but they have no time to come to Me for graces. (367a)
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.
Jan 16 - HAVE CONFIDENCE IN ME
In answer to the visionaries doubts as to whether they would be strong enough to endure, the Virgin said:
You will be able to, my angels. Do not fear. You will be able to endure everything. You must believe and have confidence in me (First Years June 29, 1981).
Jesus also prepared his disciples for persecution:
See, I am sending you out like sheep into the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of them, for they will hand you over to councils and flog you in their synagogues; and you will be dragged before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to them and the Gentiles. You will be hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved (Mt 10:16-18; 22).
Reflection:
Today both Christ and Our Lady speak of endurance in the midst of persecution, not only for the individual, but for the Church as a whole. Almost every nation on earth has record of Catholics who suffered and died in the name of the Christian religion. Elizabethan England, for example, saw the ruthless persecution of Catholics who took enormous risks to practice their faith. The issues were clear, a kingdom or state determined to crush the Catholic religion as something manifestly opposed to its goals, and a threat to its principles.
In more recent times, Nazi Germany also recognized the threat presented by the Church, as was attested by the presence of over 2,000 priests in Dachau alone. During the Cold War, Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union had an appalling number of Catholics and Christians who suffered severely for their faith, and usually the issues were as clearly defined as before: they represented a threat to a state determined to exterminate their ways and attitudes.
But the persecutions have never succeeded, although today they are more subtle and so, more dangerous. They take the form of a gradual wearing away of Christian values and beliefs by constant exposure to a hedonistic and materialistic culture through the mass media, the cinema, the arts, and even the courts.
Application:
Persecution is not always overt; do not be robbed of your faith through stealth. Stay close to Our Lady, live her messages. Remember her encouraging words today, "You will be able to endure everything. You must believe and have confidence in me."
Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 15 - UNTIL YOU ARE FILLED WITH JOY
"The eternal spring is hidden in this living bread for our life's sake ...
It is here calling out to creatures; and they satisfy their thirst" (St. John of the Cross).
Mother Teresa -
Jesus became man to bring that good news to the poor. Being God, He became like us in every way except sin. And He proclaimed clearly that He had come to bring good news.
Meditations by Padre Pio - I feel a great desire to abandon myself with greater trust, to the divine mercy, and to place my hope in God alone.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Beware of the dark shadows
"While there is justification for looking on the dark side because of evil, there is, however, no justification for the present tendency to look upon the dark side of good. It is one thing to be gloomy about starvation, but it is quite another matter to be gloomy about good health; disease has its shadows, but why see shadows in health? In a word, why is it that so many see the dark side of virtue, goodness, honesty, purity and honor?"
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
January 10, 1935. In the evening during benediction, such thoughts as these began to distress me: Is not perhaps all this that I am saying about God's great mercy just a lie or an illusion...? And I wanted to think about this for a while, when I heard a strong and clear inner voice saying,
Everything that you say about My goodness is true; language has no adequate expression to extol My goodness. These words were so filled with power and so clear that I would give my life in declaring they came from God. I can tell this by the profound peace that accompanied them at that time and that still remains with me. This peace gives me such great strength and power that all difficulties, adversities, sufferings, and death itself are as nothing.
This light gave me a glimpse of the truth that all my efforts to bring souls to know the mercy of the Lord are very pleasing to God. And from this springs such great joy in my soul that I do not know whether it could be any greater in heaven, Oh, if souls would only be willing to listen, at least a little, to the voice of conscience and the voice-that is, the inspirations-of the Holy Spirit! I say "at least a little," because once we open ourselves to the influence of the Holy Spirit, He himself will fulfill what is lacking in us. (359)
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.
Jan 15 - UNTIL YOU ARE FILLED WITH JOY
I am joyful, but my joy is not complete until you are filled with joy. You are not yet filled with joy because you are not yet at the stage of understanding my immense love (Locutionists Jelena & Mirjana October 1986).
And from the prophet Isaiah, words of joy:
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, My whole being shall exult in my God; For he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Isaiah 61:10
Reflection: The great Austrian composer, Franz Josef Haydn, once said,"When I think upon my God, my heart is so full of joy that the notes dance and leap from my pen; and since God has given me a cheerful heart, it will be pardoned me that I serve him with a cheerful spirit."
Joy is the echo of God's love within us. To the degree that we can comprehend his love, through prayer, the deeper our joy will be. Marija Pavolovic, one of the Medjugorje visionaries, says that, "God's love is very great, and in his love he has created us. We are the fruit of his love. God has given us a special gift,: he wants to love us more than himself… He created us to respond to his love."
Application:
Reflect on the following today: "The supreme happiness of life is the conviction of being loved for yourself, or more correctly, of being loved of yourself" (Victor Hugo).
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!
