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

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

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 02 - Thank you for each sacrifice
"I have a burning thirst to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament, and I find hardly anyone who strives, according to my desire, to allay this thirst by making me some return of love." (Words of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary)
"In the Eucharist the Church is as it were at the foot of the cross with Mary, united with the offering and intercession of Christ" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1370).
Mother Teresa -
God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen. And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens.
And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be: oneness with God, oneness with Jesus.
Peace is light to the soul, light to your neighbor and light to God
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Beware of anxiety and restlessness because there is nothing that more greatly impedes progress towards perfection. Sweetly place your heart in the Wounds of Our Lord, but not with force. Have great confidence in His Mercy, because He will never abandon you. But do not fail, for this reason, to tightly embrace His Holy Cross.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Just because everyone's doing it doesn't make it right!
"Numbers become the measure of goodness. If a sufficient number can be counted who violate a certain Commandment of God, then it is argued: `50 million adulterers cannot be wrong. We have to change the Commandments.'
The excellence of moral excellence does not reside in any external conformity to a conventional standard, but in an inward disposition under the control of a recognized principle to which we submit whether we agree with it or not."
St. Faustina's diary -
O Wound of Mercy, Heart of Jesus, hide me in Your depths as a drop of Your own blood, and do not let me out forever! Lock me in Your depths, and do You Yourself teach me to love You! Eternal Love, do You Yourself form my soul that it be made capable of returning Your love. O living Love, enable me to love You forever. I yearn to eternally reciprocate Your love.
O Christ, a single gaze from You is dearer to me than a thousand worlds, than all heaven itself. Lord, You can make my soul capable of understanding completely who You are. I know and I believe that You can do all things; if You have deigned to give Yourself to me so generously, then I know that You can be even more generous. Bring me into an intimacy with You so far as it is possible for human nature to be brought... (1631)
O Christ, suffering for You is the delight of my heart and my soul. Prolong my sufferings to infinity, that I may give You a proof of my love. I accept everything that Your hand will hold out to me. Your love, Jesus, is enough for me.
I will glorify You in abandonment and darkness, in agony and fear, in pain and bitterness, in anguish of spirit and grief of heart. In all things may You be blessed. My heart is so detached from the earth, that You Yourself are enough for me. There is no longer any moment in my life for self concern. (1662)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.
Mar 2 Thank you for each sacrifice
During Lent of 1986, Our Lady gave the following message:
Dear children, today I invite you to live this Lent with your small sacrifices. Thank you for each sacrifice which you have already presented to me. Dear children, continue to live in this way and, with your love, help me to present your offering to God, who will reward you. (WM 3-13-86).
St Paul also speaks of sacrifice:
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. (Heb 13:16)
Reflection:
"Live this Lent," Our Lady says today, "with your small sacrifices." The Gospa knows well that God lovingly receives our sacrifices and uses them to draw us closer to Him, and to aid in no less than in the salvation of mankind.
Sacrifices are the true sign of love, for on the eternal level we gain nothing for ourselves, but direct our action outward for the benefit of another. For instance, we can speak many words of concern for the mentally handicapped, but it is quite a different thing to sacrifice several hours a week to help out a local center, especially if we find it a demanding experience. In much the same way, our sacrifice of giving up, say, alcohol or coffee for Lent is a concrete action of love for God that goes beyond mere words. A sacrifice made with love, as Mary urges us, is even redemptive in the hands of God, for it becomes joined to the greatest love-sacrifice of all, that of Christ on the cross.
In addition, sacrifices such as fasting amplify the power of prayer many fold. For again, it is a concrete expression of love - more than words - that directly touch the heart of God.
Thus Our Lady's message, "live this Lent with your small sacrifices," refers to a living love for God that is proved by more than words. It says to Him, "See that I love you by my sacrifices, by my self denial, I am serious. I love you even when it hurts, just as you loved me.
Application:
St. Therese, the Little Flower, once prayed and fasted for the conversion of a murderer on death row, who was also an atheist. On the day of his execution, at the gallows, he astonished everyone by reaching for the chaplains crucifix and kissing it. How aware are you of the great power you possess in prayer with sacrifice? For what intention can it be offered this week?
Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 01 - Experience this peace
St. Gabriel Possenti, Patron of Clerics & Youth (Italy) 1838-1862
"There is more sweetness in one hour of prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament than in all the world's crowded theaters, and brilliant drawing rooms, and giddy diversions, and social gatherings" (St. Gabriel Possenti).
"He remains among us until the end of the world. He dwells on so many altars, though so often offended and profaned" (St. Maximilian Kolbe).
Mother Teresa -
Jesus said, " Learn of me for I am meek and humble of heart."
The naked truth is the magnet to draw hearts
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Walk with simplicity in the ways of the Lord and do not torment your spirit. Your must hate your faults, but with a quiet hate, not troublesome and restless. We must be patient with them and gain from them through holy humility. Without that patience, instead of diminishing, your imperfections will increase constantly, as there is nothing that nourishes our defects like restlessness, and the haste to drive them away.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
How we have lowered the moral bar
"The growth of democracy has done much to do away with a false social snobbishness and to keep men humble in their external relations. But it has also, from another point of view, weakened the respect for Goodness and Truth, inasmuch as the masses of people are generally inclined to equate morality with the general level of society at any given moment."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Hail to You, Eternal Love, my Sweet Jesus, who have condescended to dwell in my heart! I salute You, O glorious Godhead who have deigned to stoop to me, and out of love for me have so emptied Yourself as to assume the insignificant form of bread. I salute You, Jesus, never-fading flower of humanity.
You are all there is for my soul. Your love is purer than a lily, and Your presence is more pleasing to me than the fragrance of a hyacinth. Your friendship is more tender and subtle than the scent of a rose, and yet it is stronger than death.
O Jesus, incomprehensible beauty, it is with pure souls that You communicate best, because they alone are capable of heroism and sacrifice. O sweet, rose-red blood of Jesus, ennoble my blood and change it into Your own blood, and let this be done to me according to Your good pleasure. (1575)
O my Jesus, if You yourself do not soothe the longing of my soul, then no one can either comfort or soothe it. Your every approach arouses new raptures of love in my soul, but also a new agony; because, despite all Your approaches to my soul, even the most exceptional, I am still loving You from a distance, and my heart dies in an ecstasy of love; because this is still not the complete and eternal union, although You commune with me so very often unveiled [as if face to face]; nevertheless, You thereby open in my soul and heart an abyss of love and desire for You, my God, and this bottomless abyss, this total desiring of God, cannot be completely filled on this earth. (1600)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
These thoughts for a day are taken from a daily meditation book based on the Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje by Father Richard J. Beyer, Ave Maria Press.
March 1 - EXPERIENCE THIS PEACE
Our Lady speaks of peace in this monthly message:
"Dear Children, today I thank you and I want to invite you all to God's peace. I want each of you to experience, in your heart, this peace which only God can give. I bless you with God's blessing and beseech you to live, dear children, in the way I have shown you.
I love you, dear children, which is why I do not count the number of times I have called you—and continue to call you.
I thank you for all you have done according to my wishes. Help me, please, that I may present you to God and guide you to salvation." (Monthly Message June 25, 1987).
And in John's gospel, Christ gives his peace to his disciples:
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. (Jn 14:26-27)
Reflection:
The effect of the Holy Spirit's work in our lives is often a deep and lasting peace. Unlike the world's peace, which is only the absence of conflict, this peace lives in us as a confident assurance in all circumstances. With Christ's peace, we have no need to fear the past, present, or future.
Application:
Reflect today on this line from the philosopher Baruch Spinoza: "Peace is not an absence of war; it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, and justice."
Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 28 - Experience in your heart, this peace
Bl. Angela of Foligno, Widow & Mother (Italy) 1248-1309—Feast, February 28
"Burning with love for us, [Jesus] You desired to give Yourself to us and took up Your dwelling in the consecrated Host, entirely and forever, until the end of time. And You did this, not only to give us a memorial of Your death which is our salvation, but You did it also, to remain with us entirely and forever" (Bl. Angela of Foligno, Third Order Franciscan).
"Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, inflame our hearts with love for you."
Mother Teresa -
Holiness is the greatest gift that God can give us because for that reason He created us.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Pray for the wicked, pray for the lukewarm, pray even for fervent souls, but pray especially for the Supreme Pontiff, for all the Spiritual and temporal needs of Holy Church, our most tender Mother. A special prayer for all those who are working for the salvation of souls and for God's glory.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
What goes up must come down!
"Almost all moments of high sensible exaltation are followed by a period of depression. This is particularly true in any experience which has to do with the flesh. Drunkenness is followed by the hangover, excesses by disgust, the dream stage of opium by disenchanting depression. The body cannot sustain continued pleasure. Even tickling can turn into pain."
St. Faustina's diary
At that moment, love for Jesus was enkindled so strongly in my heart that, offering myself for ungrateful souls, I immersed myself completely in Him. When I came to my senses, the Lord allowed me to taste a little of the ingratitude which flooded His Heart. This experience lasted for a short while. (1538)
The Lord said to me, I am delighted with your love. Your sincere love is as pleasing to My Heart as the fragrance of a rosebud at morningtide, before the sun has taken the dew from it. The freshness of your heart captivates Me; that is why I unite Myself with you more closely than with any other creature... (1546)
O Everlasting Love, Jesus, who have enclosed Yourself in the Host,
And therein hide Your divinity and conceal Your beauty,
You do this in order to give Yourself, whole and entire, to my soul
And in order not to terrify it with Your greatness.
O Everlasting Love, Jesus, who have shrouded Yourself with bread,
Eternal Light, incomprehensible Fountain of joy and happiness,
Because You want to be heaven on earth to me,
That indeed You are, when Your love, O God, imparts itself to me. (1569)

Message to Eileen Renders March 1, 2009

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

While driving my car home from confession I was praying the DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET for those dying at that second, hour, or day.
JESUS then spoke to me and told me that a person was dying and that person was in danger of LOSING THEIR SOUL TO THE FIRES OF HELL and that I needed to continue to pray the DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET ESPECIALLY FOR THIS SOUL.
I PRAYED THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET FROM MY HEART ASKING THAT IT BE OFFERED THROUGH THE IMMACULATE HEART OF HIS MOTHER FOR THIS SOUL.
When I was done JESUS spoke again to me and said that soul had been saved by the DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET and had entered the sixth level of purgatory.
JESUS then said that HE wants us to PRAY THE DIVINE MERCY FOR THE SICK AND THE DYING because this PRAYER SAVES MANY SOULS. That through this PRAYER SOULS WHO ARE MOST IN NEED OF HIS MERCY AT THE MOMENT OF DEATH RECEIVE IT.
SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH
"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful
guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of
God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father
through His Divine Son who died on the cross and
rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the
Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain
from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here
state your intention)."
Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.
Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails. Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!
