Multius, I am formerly a tomb robber and bandit. But by the grace of God, turned my wicked life to service of the Lord, Jesus. One night, I was to rob a virgin’s house. But I could not break in. A vision bade me desist from my life of crime.
In the morn, the virgin discovered me, asked what I was doing on the roof. I requested she immediately take me to a church, which she did. I met the Presbyter (Elder)s and begged to be a Christian. They hesitated, but knew my reputation.
Knowing my reputation, they gave me three verses of Psalm 1, [Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the waterside, that bringeth forth his fruit in due season, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper].
The Presbyter (Elder)s told me if I would act accordingly, I would find salvation. And so I did.
Later, they taught me scriptures. The Lord provided my needs. I was baptized, and served the Church.

Fr Doucette - Thu, Mar 05, 2009: "By their fruits you will know them"
FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"By their fruits you will know them"
Thursday, March 05, 2009
Dear Friends,
A Tree and its Fruits
Jesus said, Either declare the tree good and its fruit is good, or declare the tree rotten and its fruit is rotten, for a tree is known by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you say good things when you are evil? For from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.
A good person brings forth good out of a store of goodness, but an evil person brings forth evil out of a store of evil. I tell you, on the day of judgment people will render an account for every careless word they speak. By your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned. Matthew 12:33 37
Today I will celebrate Holy Mass at the little shrine and get ready this afternoon to go to Charlottetown to be nearby to take the plane tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m. for Texas. I will be back on March 18. Father Charles received $75.00 yesterday so now his fund stands at $9,436.00. I thank the person who sent this gift and I am sure Father Charles thanks her too.
Here is another message from Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, We know that a tree is either good or rotten. We judge a tree by its fruit. If it produces good fruit, then that tree is good. If it produces bad fruit, then the tree is no good. It is the same with a person. If a person says that he or she is a good Christian but does not go to church, that person is lying. If a person slanders his or her neigbours and gossips about them, that person is not good. We know the heart of a person by what he or she says and does. By their fruits you will know them.
Therefore, My brothers and sisters, if you have sinned and offended your Father in heaven, go and confess your sins and ask for forgiveness and the grace you need to change your way of life.
Conversion is a great grace and Lent is the time to ask for this grace of conversion. Become My friend and walk with Me and you will produce very good fruits of love, caring, helping the poor and the sick, speaking well of others and praying for all those who need conversion.
Do not be a bad example to people and check your speech. Think first before you utter a bad word or a cruel judgment on another. You will be judged one day by the Great Judge so follow Me and you will be acquitted.

Jesus Tells Us To Live By Faith Alone!
On Saturday I received the sacrament of Penance and made my Easter duty. On Sunday we attended the 8:00 AM Mass where I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and in prayer remembered all with special needs and intentions.
After receiving the most sacred Host during the sacrament of Holy Communion, I knelt in commune with Christ. I gave thanks and adoration. Then I prayed saying; Speak Lord (if it be His will), Your servant listens.
Jesus responded to my heart saying; My child Eileen, I tell you truly, blessed are those who believe and have not seen, for the day is coming when man must stand on faith alone or perish forever!
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.
Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 07 - PREPARE THROUGH RENUNCIATION
In this vale of tears our life is a continual warfare. We battle against
the enemies of our salvation: the world with its doctrine and example, our own corrupted nature, and the archfiend of human souls, who, the Prince of the Apostles [St. Peter] says, 'as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour' (1 Peter 5:8). We receive many a wound in this conflict?as often as we succumb to temptation. Great is our need of a physician, and our Physician is Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament" (Fr. Lukas, Etlin, O.S.B.).
-"Return to me with all your heart" (Joel 2:12). "The love of the Blessed Sacrament is the grand and royal devotion of faith; it is faith multiplied, faith intensified, faith glorified . . . Out of it there comes three special graces which are the very life and soul of an interior life: an overflowing charity to all around us, a thirst to sacrifice ourselves for God, and a generous and filial love of Holy Church" (Fr. Frederick Faber).
Mother Teresa -
Love until it hurts; it takes deep sacrifice to proclaim the word of God.
My sufferings took as if forms of light, and they placed themselves before the Lord as in an act of adoration.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Therefore, don't fear at all, but consider yourself extremely fortunate to have been worthy of participating in the sufferings of the God-Man. So there is no abandonment, but love, and great love which God is showing you. Your state is not one of punishment, but one of exquisite love. Therefore bless the Lord for this, and resign yourself to drinking the chalice of Gethsemane (Letters III, p. 445).
-Archbishop Fulton Sheen
It's the ol' "bait and switch" in advertising
"Contentment depends upon the control of our desires. Advertising serves many needs but it has also made luxuries appear as necessities, and created a desire for goods which the individual cannot possibly possess in their fullness."
-
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
While I was saying the chaplet, I heard a voice which said, Oh, what great graces I will grant to souls who say this chaplet; the very depths of My tender mercy are stirred for the sake of those who say the chaplet. Write down these words, My daughter.
Speak to the world about My mercy; let all mankind recognize My unfathomable mercy. It is a sign for the end times; after it will come the day of justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fount of My mercy; let them profit from the Blood and Water which gushed forth for them.
O human souls, where are you going to hide on the day of God's anger: Take refuge now in the fount of God's mercy. O what a great multitude of souls I see! They worshiped the Divine Mercy and will be singing the hymn of praise for all eternity. (848)
Today the Lord's gaze shot through me suddenly, like lightning. At once, I came to know the tiniest specks in my soul, and knowing the depths of my misery, I fell to my knees and begged the Lord's pardon, and with great trust I immersed myself in His infinite mercy.
Such knowledge does not depress me nor keep me away from the Lord, but rather it arouses in my soul greater love and boundless trust. The repentance of my heart is linked to love. These extraordinary flashes from the Lord educate my soul. O sweet rays of God, enlighten me to the most secret depth, for I want to arrive at the greatest possible purity of heart and soul. (852)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
Mar 7 - PREPARE THROUGH RENUNCIATION
During Lent of 1988, Our Lady said to Ivan's prayer group:
"Prepare yourself for the time of Lent by renouncing something. During Lent I will need your help for the accomplishment and fulfillment of all my plans (Visionary Prayer Group February 1, 1988)
Ezekiel also asks us to renounce something the spirit of sin:
But if the wicked turn away from all their sins that they have committed and keep all my statues and do what is lawful and right, they shall surely live; they shall not die. None of the transgressions that they have committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness that they have done they shall live (Ez 18:21-22).
Reflection:
The concept of renunciation or penance often has a negative connotation; to give up something for Lent or Advent seems to be an imposition that no one welcomes. And yet the actual effect of penance is to set us spiritually free; we develop a greater desire for God and a growing freedom from material things---and thus peace begins to take root in our hearts. When we begin to live this interior freedom from exterior things, we begin rapidly in the spiritual life.
Fr. Slavko Barbaric, spiritual director to the visionaries, has written:
Once you embrace God, you let go of other things, because there is no room for them anymore. So the core issue is not giving up luxury or wealth; you have found something better when you have found God. God leaves no room in your life for other things.
For instance, a candidate for the Olympic swimming team will need to "renounce" smoking if he is to realize his dream of competing for the gold medal. When Our Lady asks a penance or sacrifice from us, it is so that we can win in the spiritual life, with its attendant gift of inner peace. The issue is one of liberation or freedom from material appetites that shackle us from embracing God more and more with our hearts.
Application:
Let us heed the Gospa's request today by renouncing (giving up) something special so that we can grow spiritually.
Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 06 - BE CONVERTED!
The sacred host exposed on the altar gives my soul food for `admiration.' I admire my Divine Spouse in His humility but above all His love which has placed Him to be there" (St. Katharine).
The Cross prepares the soul for patience. The Cross opens Heaven and earth together, that is, God and the soul.. The virtue of the Cross is powerful and when it enters into a soul, it has the power to take away the rust caused by earthly things. Not only that but it gives the soul boredom, annoyance and scorn for earthly things, and instead it gives it the taste for Heavenly things. But the virtue of the Cross is recognized by only a few, that is why many despise it.
"Behold hidden within the Sacred Host, O my beloved Jesus, the virtue which I need above all others! My soul thirst for charity: for that clear crystal water of charity which rests within your Sacred Heart as within a deep unfathomable well. I come to drink at this pure and holy Source that I may be cleansed, and may be blessed, and may receive life from it, and light and love" (Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God).
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.
Grace for him who receives it, is light, it is the way, it is nourishment, it is strength, it is comfort. And for him who does not receive it, it is converted into fire and punishment.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Firstly I want to tell you that Jesus needs those who groan with him at human sinfulness and, for this reason, He is leading you along paths filled with suffering, about which you tell me in your letter. But may His charity always be blessed; that charity which knows how to mix the sweet with the bitter and convert the transitory sufferings of life to eternal reward (Letters III, p. 417).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Where your heart is determines your worth!
"Desire is to the soul what gravitation is to matter. When we know our desires, we know the direction our soul is taking. If desire is Heavenly, we go upwards, if it is wholly earthly, we go downwards. Desire is like raw material out of which we fashion either our virtues or vices. As Our Lord said: `Where your treasure is, there your heart is also.'"
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
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 6 - BE CONVERTED!
The season of Lent has always been a time of repentance, conversion, and penance---a time for turning back to the Lord, renouncing sin, and beginning anew. This is the call of Our Lady today:
Be converted! It will be too late when the sing comes. Beforehand, several warnings will be given to the world. Have people hurry to be converted. I need your prayers and your penance.
My heart is burning with love for you; it suffices for you to be converted. To ask questions is unimportant. Be converted. Hurry to proclaim it. Tell everyone that it is my wish, and that I do not cease repeating it. Be converted, be converted.
It is not difficult for me to suffer for you. I beg you, be converted. I will pray to my Son to spare you the punishment. Be converted with without delay. You do not know the plans of God; you will not be able to know them. You will not know what God will send, nor what he will do. I ask you only to be converted. That is what I wish.
Be converted! Be ready for everything, but be converted. That is all I wish to say to you. Renounce everything else. All that is part of conversion. Good bye, and may peace be with you (Locution Jelena & Mirajana April 25, 1983.)
Our Lady's message is echoed in the Acts of the Apostles:
In this way God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer. Repent therefore, and turn to God so that yours sins may be wiped out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah appointed for you, this is, Jesus (Acts 3:18-20).
Reflection:
During this Lenten season, let us take the Blessed Mother seriously and seek conversion in renewed prayer, penance, and works of love. This will bring us great joy at Easter and a confirmation of the Gospa's words today: "My heart is burning with love for you."
Application:
During Lent, set aside extra time for prayer and works of charity. Be active in the special Lenten devotions of your local parish. Go the extra mile for Our Lord and Our Lady.
WHAT MERE WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE
HOW CAN YOU SURVIVE THE LIFE YOU ARE LIVING
IF YOU CONTINUE ACCEPTING ALL THAT SATAN IS GIVING?
LOOK AT THE TURMOIL THAT YOUR CHOICES CREATED
AND WHO, IF NOT SATAN, IS THE ONE THAT'S ELATED.
WHAT HAVE YOU GAINED FROM A SHORT SPURT OF GLORY?
IF YOU COMPARE IT WITH OTHERS, YOU WILL HEAR THE SAME STORY.
THE ROSARY, DEAR CHILDREN, CAN HELP YOU BREAK THRU
THE BARRIERS THAT SATAN HAS PLACED AROUND YOU.
BECAUSE, MY DEAR CHILDREN, OF HOW THE WORLD IS BECOMING,
WORDS CANNOT EXPLAIN ALL THAT IS STILL COMING.
MANY SIGNS HAVE BEEN GIVEN WHICH MANKIND DID IGNORE;
GOD MUST NOW CLEANSE THE EVIL AND THE LANDSCAPE RESTORE.
YOU HAVE SEEN FIRES BURNING AND SCORCHING THE LAND;
YOU HAVE SEEN HIGH WINDS TOPPLE TALL BUILDINGS WHICH DID STAND.
YOU WITNESSED GREAT DEVASTATION WHEN THE WATERS DID RISE;
YET, IN SPITE ALL OF THESE EVENTS, WITH SATAN YOU STILL COMPROMISE.
THE EVENTS THAT ARE PENDING WILL FIRST COME FROM THE SKY;
THEY WILL BE MORE DEVASTATING THAN THE ONES THAT PASSED BY.
THE CHAIN OF EVENTS WILL THEN ESCALATE
TO SUCH LEVELS THAT NO ONE CAN NOW ANTICIPATE.
THE ROSARY, DEAR CHILDREN, WILL BE YOUR LIFELINE;
YOUR BEADS I'LL CONNECT TO THE ONES THAT ARE MINE.
MY ROSARY WILL SHIELD YOU AND THOSE FOR WHOM YOU NOW PRAY;
PRAISE GOD, MY DEAR CHILDREN, FOR EACH GIFT OF THIS DAY.
"THY WILL BE DONE"

(THE ONES THAT PASSED BY refers to the events and tragedies that have
already occurred,
ones mentioned in the previous stanza.)
Monthly message as given to Anne, a lay apostle
October 1, 2008
Jesus
Dear apostles, how strongly you desire holiness. This desire pleases Me and I will bless this desire. I will increase your holiness. There are times when you despair of becoming as holy as you wish. At those times when you are tempted, I would like you to know that I can make you holy in an instant. If you require heroic holiness in a moment, I can give it to you.
The Holy Spirit blows where it is both welcomed and needed so if you welcome the Spirit, the Spirit will sanctify you. I, Jesus, lived on earth and in My humanity I understand the struggles that plague you. I understand the frustration you feel when you examine yourself and find that you have work to do in virtue.
Dear ones, consider life like a walk. If you are taking a walk on any given day, you walk. You do not sit down on the path and call that action walking. That would be sitting down and that is different from walking. Your spiritual life is meant to be active. If you look at yourself and find that you need to work on holiness, then you are looking at yourself in truth.
You are on the path and you are walking and you see that ahead of you the path continues on into the unknown as far as the possibility for your holiness. I, Jesus, am comfortable with this for you.
I am not pleased, however, when you move backwards on the path or leave the path altogether. You were meant to serve Me and you were meant to serve Me in this time. Please, do not be distracted.
Do not believe that My plan can do without your service. My plan does not require your perfection, My dearest one, but it does require your presence. If you remain with Me during your time on earth, My treasures are transmitted to you. You can then open your heart to others and allow these treasures to be distributed to them. Ask Me for these treasures for others. I will send them to others through you.
Have no fear that this prayer will go unanswered. It will not. It will be answered more generously than you can imagine. Draw closer to Me in holiness, dear apostle, so that I can sanctify you and move into the world through you. Do not be afraid of changes. Just as you must always be moving on your path, so the world must always be moving through time. As the world moves through time it changes and it is changing now. You, dearest apostle, are a part of that change.
Monthly message as given to Anne, a lay apostle
On the first of every month, Our Lord gives Anne a new message about His call to
service.
July 1, 2008
Jesus My heart never stops loving and not for a moment does My heart stop
craving love in return. I crave love from you, My dear apostle. You love Me, I
know. You serve Me with steadiness, I know.
What is it that Jesus wants from Me that I am not giving?, you ask. I will tell
you. I want you to show Me that you understand My love for you by trusting Me.
I am hurt when you do not trust Me.
Look at your time of service. Would you
agree that I have provided you with everything you need to see to your part in
My plan? Would you agree that I have given you consolation when you were
afraid? Have I not guided you when you were unsure? What have I withheld from
you?
You are growing in holiness and I am answering your prayers for your loved ones
with heavenly prudence and steadiness. The part you are called to play in My
plan is important and I need your service but I would never ask you to serve to
the detriment of your holiness.
If you are not increasing in holiness, My dear
apostle, it is because you are not allowing Me to direct you. Perhaps you are
increasing but not as quickly as you would like. That is another matter
altogether. It is for Me to decide how quickly to advance you. It is for you
to cooperate.
I am speaking today so that I can urge you forward. My apostles must be
willing to benefit from the guidance I am sending. You must sit in silence with
Me each day, asking Me where you can improve in holiness.
What habits are you holding on to that you need to relinquish? What new habits
should replace them?
Apostles, it is not to stand still that you are called, but to move forward in
holiness. This advance is necessary for these times or I would not be calling
you to it so seriously. I am looking for you to change. I want you to grow.
Many of you are saintly now, walking closely with Me in each day.
I rejoice in you, it is true. You know that I do. And yet, I allow you to
remain on earth, to work, yes, but also to become even holier. One of the ways
you can become holy in a short time is by trusting Me in everything.
A small child does not worry about one meal shortly after she has been fed
another. She trusts her parents to provide for her, particularly if she has
never gone hungry.
You, dear apostles, have never been without My providence so there is no reason
for you to fear. You can trust Me. I have proved this to you many times. I
desire that you serve in joy and confidence and only through trusting Me will
that be possible. Return My great love for you by trusting Me in everything.

Dear little children, Praised be Jesus!
I come this night as the Immaculate Conception together with my little Bernadette. Little children, just as, my now, Saint Bernadette surrendered herself humbly to God, I come today to ask you to surrender yourselves humbly to your Creator, to Love.
I come to ask you to pray for the conversion of the world and your own conversion. Conversion is sacrifice and sacrifice is love. Pray to the Spirit of Love so that He may help you to love, to obtain a sincere conversion of your hearts.
Mankind has hearts of ice. I ask you to pray for them so that they may obtain a heart filled with the fire of the Holy Spirit and in that way may love and do everything with love for the glory of God. Listen to my pleas. Pray, pray, pray and do not be afraid to love. When you love, then, you will learn to surrender your lives to God.
Thank you, beloved of mine, for having accepted my message of this night. I love you, beloved of mine, through the Heart of my beloved Jesus. Little children, pray for the conversion of mankind, your families and for your own conversion. Trust in me. I am the Immaculate Conception and I come to leave the Holy Spirit upon you so that He may consume you with His love.
I bless my beloved priests and deacons who helped me this night. May the blessing of Almighty God be with all of you.
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Today I tell you, my beloved ones: love one another as I love you. Love all my children. Love those who do not love you. Love your enemies because when you do not love one another, you do not love Me, for I am present in the heart of all, including in the heart of your enemies. If you reject them, you reject Me. If you do not love as I ask you to, you do not love Me.
The world is deaf to my words because it is losing its love towards Me. Love and you will see and feel My presence within you. Listen to My words. My words are eternal life.
I love you. If you listen to Me, you will see the Paraclete descend upon you. I desire to be loved as I ask you. Love one another. This is my wish: love one another and do not reject Me anymore.
Message from Our Blessed Mother to Jorge Zavala
February 18, 2009 St. Bruno’s Church, San Bruno, CA
Dear little children,
I invite you to proclaim my messages by the way you live; I am calling you to be witnesses of living as God asks.
Little children, your hearts are full of fear and of uncertainty because you have placed your trust in material things. Surrender all to me because God never abandons those who trust in Him.
By means of prayer I desire to guide you along the sure path of conversion and in that way your hearts will possess the peace to which God has called you.
Little children, take advantage of this time of grace with me; do not lose your fervor, on the contrary, may my presence with you, encourage you to persevere in the faith.
I love you, I bless you and may the peace of the Lord remain always in your hearts.

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!
