FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"May the new era of grace begin"
Saturday, April 11, 2009
Dear Friends,
The Guard at the Tomb
The next day, the one following the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said, “Sir, we remember that this imposter while still alive said, ‘After three days I will be raised up.’
Give orders, then, that the grave be secured until the third day, lest his disciples come and steal him and say to the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead.’ This last imposter would be worse than the first.” Pilate said to them, “The guard is yours; go secure it as best you can.” So they went and secured the tomb by fixing a seal to the stone and setting the guard. Matthew 27:62–66
Yesterday I was with Jesus on the cross and He shared with me His suffering. Since my retreat in Jerusalem where I suffered the Passion of Our Lord for two weeks, I always suffer with Jesus on Good Friday. In this way He shows His great love for me and for all the people of the world.
Here is a message given by Our Blessed Mother to Joseph. She spoke to him in these words, “Let us go today to the tomb of My Dear Son and pray awhile. Let us not get too close as the guards are there. During the time of silence I prayed to the Father that He send the graces won by My Son Jesus to all the people that they might be converted and come to believe in Him.
Many in the world are far from My Son and they live in sin. May the New Pentecost come soon so that a new era may begin. My Son’s suffering and painful death on the cross was not in vain. May the power coming from the cross enlighten all the people to believe in their Savior and follow Him.
I was present at the cross and at the burial of My Son Jesus. I suffered great pain in seeing how horribly He suffered until His death. However, before He died He said these words to the Apostle John, ‘This is your Mother.’ And to Me He said, ‘This is your son.’ At that moment I became the Mother of all of you as John stood for each one of you.
As your Mother, I wish to bring you all to Jesus, My Son, so you can be washed in His Blood and be His followers. Look up at the cross today and say just like the centurion, ‘Truly, this is the Son of God.’ May the new era of grace begin. I bless you all.”
Father Melvin
P.S. I wish you all a Happy and Joyful Easter!
Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 11 - I LOVE YOU IMMEASURABLY
"May the Virgin Mary preserve us in the joy of continually receiving the graces of the Savior . . . the very gift of God Himself, Who dwells with us in His Word, His Spirit and His Eucharist" (Pope John Paul II).
Mother Teresa
I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Be firmly convinced that the more the assaults of the enemy increase, the closer God is to the soul. Think of, and ponder well, this great and comforting truth (Letter III p 417)
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Socializers' denial of morality and virtue make their world darker.
"If socializers' behavior were better, they would be truly religious people and do much good for society. They look for a cause which will leave them alone with their individual vices. They swallow the devil's line also because its anti-religious character satisfies their desire to expunge from the world all ideas of morality and virtue, the infractions against which have made them so uneasy in the dark."
In looking for purpose, bored Intelligentsia clamor for freedom and find it not within but without where they can disavow individual responsibility.
"The third group who have been caught on the hooks of the devil's fishing line are Bored Intelligentsia. Their education should have given them a goal or a purpose of life. Having failed to do so, their knowledge is nothing but a crazy quilt of unrelated facts and undigested bits of information.
The want of unity both in their moral life and their knowledge makes them desirous of unity, but not a unity from within which demands moral stamina, but a unity from without. Certain sects provide that for them. They no longer have to think; the sect does the thinking for them. They now have a mission, a sense of belonging to a totality, and one in which they are no longer bored by their freedom, having surrendered it to the collective ant hill of the sect."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian. org/directory_ flash.html
On one occasion, I saw Jesus in a bright garment; this was in the greenhouse. [He said to me,] Write what I say to you. My delight is to be united with you. With great desire, I wait and long for the time when I shall take up My residence sacramentally in your convent. My spirit will rest in that convent and I will bless its neighborhood in a special way.
Out of love for you all, I will avert any punishments which are rightly meted out by My Father's justice. My daughter, I have inclined My heart to your requests. Your assignment and duty here on earth is to beg for mercy for the whole world.
No soul will be justified until it turns with confidence to My mercy, and this is why the first Sunday after Easter is to be the Feast of Mercy. On that day, priests are to tell everyone about My great and unfathomable mercy. I am making you the administrator of My mercy. Tell the confessor that the Image is to be on view in the church and not within the enclosure in that convent. By means of this Image I shall be granting many graces to souls; so let every soul have access to it. (570)
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.
APRIL 11 - I LOVE YOU IMMEASURABLY
Our Lady speaks of love today:
"Dear Children, I thank you for the love which you have shown me. You know, dear children, that I love you immeasurably, and that I pray to the Lord daily that he may help you to realize more fully the love which I bear you. That is why, dear children, pray, pray, pray (Weekly Month August 21, 1986).
Paul also speaks of love:
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. And now faith, hope and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these of love (1 Cor 13:12-13).
Reflection:
Clearly love is the very essence of God's nature and the motivating force of our faith. We could spend our lives attempting to fathom its depth.
For centuries, writers and poets have sought to express God's love in their verse. In modern times, one beautiful passage was written by Major Malcolm Boyle, who was killed in action after the landing on D-day in June, 1944. He had written the following lines in his Bible:
If I should never see the moon again Rising red gold across the harvest field, Or feel the stinging of soft April rain, As the brown earth her hidden treasures yield.
If I should never taste the salt sea spray As the ship beats her course against the breeze, Or smell the dog-rose and the new mown hay, Or moss and primrose beneath the tree.
If I should never hear the thrushes wake Long before the sunrise in the glimmering dawn. Or watch the huge Atlantic rollers break Against the rugged cliffs in baffling scorn.
If I have said goodbye to stream and wood, To the wide ocean and the green clad hill, I know that he who made this world so good Has somewhere made a heaven better still.
This I bear witness with my latest breath Knowing the love of God, I fear not death.
Application:
Let us pray especially today to more fully comprehend the love of God
Message to J.N.S.R. Feb. 7,2009
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH YOUR BAPTISM?
February 7, 2009
One day, it was given to us, in a limitless LOVE, the grace to have "GOD living on our Earth."
Not knowing LOVE, men condemned Him to death on a CROSS. They asked themselves: "How could GOD who is not visible, live among us by becoming flesh? And as they saw Him die of LOVE on the Cross that they had prepared for Him, this Son of man was giving them HIS LIFE. As a consequence, man was becoming eternal; from then on, the Kingdom of GOD was opened to them. Man could acquire the identity of the SON of GOD, if he accepted to change his character.
Since well over 2,000 years, Man is struggling and defending himself against the price to pay for this "Transfiguration" .
- Becoming better, perfect and generous -
- Becoming LOVE and FORGIVENESS -
To receive the identity of the SON of GOD, is asking too much of him! So, the entire world continues living in "perfect disorder". The whole Earth took the path of "Disobedience" .
GOD who promised to return, in order to bring to completion His dearest WISH: to make of all Mankind, divine beings, in His Image, has been waiting over 2,000 years for Man to change his character.
The LOVE of the Living GOD is not better understood than before. The Father, tired of waiting, and as Time is drawing near, His Holy Promise is leaving room to Punishment, for it is getting late.
So, catastrophes multiplied, elements were mixed up, and rose against Mankind. Death became more and more frequent to those populations that were subjected to every kind of disease, to repeated famines. Barbaric attempts and fratricidal wars came evermore in rapid sequence. The Evil One is furious.
The Father in Heaven is warning Mankind: "Take care. None of the events of this day can really be explained by science, as you believe! Your disobedience is the cause, like your first parents, by denying Me. You have chosen "the dark side". You are held under the power of Evil which you have chosen."
Your origin is divine and to prove it to you, I come to warn you. I AM your Father. A Father full of LOVE cannot abandon His children. I come to ask for your love for your GOD and for your brothers.
Only then, when you will be ALL LOVE, the Earth shall become LOVE, and it shall renew itself in a New Earth.
Seeing a LOVE shared with GOD,
I will cancel all the ancient Prophecies.
Our Father, the Creator of all the Universe says to you: "For the LOVE of only one Creature upon the Earth, I can perform a miracle never seen before. GOD united (in His Three Persons), is that Universal LOVE that brings together all Principles, all the Laws, and the Foundation of the Universe, in
one Unique and True God, who is His SON. He, who attributed to His Most Holy Cross, all that is LIFE and Reason for LIFE, in order to pursue, beyond the World and Worlds, the LIFE that has no end, earned through His Holy Death on His Cross of LOVE.
By His Holy Resurrection, He is the LIVING ONE, bringing in His Footsteps, all Men of all races, to His Father, who opens for us His Kingdom of Light and Eternal Glory.
Jesus-Christ, TRUE GOD and TRUE Man, He who was baptized by a man named John (Saint John the Baptist), sanctified all the waters on the Earth.
Those waters, who lead Mankind to Purification, say to each one of you: "What have you done of your Baptism?" which is the first Sacrament requested by GOD. Clovis, the king of the Francs, asked the Bishop of Reims for Baptism, for himself and for his soldiers. And now the Children of the Earth are getting away from the first protection that GOD gives you, so as to receive "the Holy Identity of Your Divine Creator".
Do not separate yourselves from what GOD Himself has initiated: the Holy Baptism.
The Earth is presently drinking all the water that Men have refused for their Baptism, ever since the Baptism by immersion of Jesus-Christ in the Jordan River. The angels are telling you this.
JESUS: Again I say to you: he who sees GOD, becomes GOD himself, and he who sees GOD, already bears in himself His Holy Identity.
So, you shall see this miracle, since in these times, you are very doubtful: you reject LOVE and HOPE that I offer you. I AM coming to perform before your eyes, "the miracle of Saint Thomas". You will remember that he who sees and touches My Holy Wounds, will not be able to remain a doubtful person. But the one who believes in My LOVE, who loves and forgives, because he sees himself in GOD, shall be a glorified man, who has his hands open to receive in abundance My marvelous LOVE.
The Suffering of My Holy CROSS, was transformed in a Holy Blessing, united to the suffering of all Humanity. That Blessing becomes the Purification of Man and his Earth.
1- GOD shall descend from the Throne of the Eternal Kingdom, to point out to this unbelieving World, the Wounds that are the five Jewels of the Lord. I shall touch your hands, your feet, your heart. You shall bear them inwardly, and they will be there to bring you to your conversion. And then, you will believe as did Saint Thomas.
All men, all the Creatures of GOD will be inundated with My LOVE.
Everything will be on the same wave length. Lights and Sounds shall be the reflection of My New Earth.
I come to give My Identity to everything.
To My beloved children.
Jesus-Christ, the King of LOVE.
1 - Madeleine of Dozulé touched the Wounds of Christ. She will never forget.

"I am your Savior"

Dear Friends,
The Death of Jesus
From noon onward, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And about three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Some of the bystanders who heard it said, "This one is calling for Elijah."
Immediately one of them ran to get a sponge; he soaked it in wine, and putting it on a reed, gave it to him to drink. But the rest said, "Wait, let us see if Elijah comes to save him." But Jesus cried out again in a loud voice, and gave up his spirit. And behold, the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom.
The earth quaked, rocks were split, tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. And coming forth from their tombs after his resurrection, they entered the holy city and appeared to many.
The centurion and the men with him who were keeping watch over Jesus feared greatly when they saw the earthquake and all that was happening, and they said, "Truly, this was the Son of God!" There were many women there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him. Among them were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. Matthew 27:45-56
Here is a message given by Our Lord and Savior to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him from the cross while he was in contemplation and here are the Lord's words, "Come, My brother, close to Me as I hang upon the cross for your salvation. See the blood dripping from all My wounds. They have driven the nails through My hands and feet and the crown of thorns is on My head. I am in great pain as I await this cruel death.
See, My brothers and sisters, what your sins have caused Me. How evil sin is that it has caused Me excruciating suffering during My Passion until My death on the cross. However, I suffered all this for you because I love you and I desire reconciliation between you and the Father. Through My Passion I have opened heaven for you so that if you follow Me, you will enter one day eternal life in heaven and you will be with the Father, with Me and the Holy Spirit and with My Blessed Mother and all the angels and saints.
Come spend this holy day in union with Me on the cross. Contemplate the scene as I hang on the cross. You know that I was crucified instead of you because I love you. Let Me wash you completely in My Blood and you will be cleansed. I am your Savior."

Dear Friends,
The Lord's Supper
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.
I tell you, from now on I shall not drink this fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it with you new in the Kingdom of my Father." Then, after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Matthew 26:26-30
I am giving you another message by Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "As it is customary for the Jews, the families come together to celebrate the Passover on a special date every year. This is in commemoration of the first Passover in Egypt where the Jews lived in slavery for four hundred years.
Each family had killed a lamb, smeared the blood on the frame of the door and ate the lamb. The angel of death passed over the homes of the Jews but one was killed in every home of the Egyptians. I am now the Lamb of God killed for your salvation.
It was during the Passover meal that I instituted the Eucharist with the Apostles the night before I died on the cross. I celebrated the First Eucharist by taking bread and blessed it and I gave it to the Apostles saying, 'Take and eat: this is my body.' By these words I changed the bread into My very flesh. I was now present in the Eucharist with My body and blood, soul and divinity.
Then I took the cup of wine, gave thanks and gave it to them saying, 'Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.' At the end I told the Apostles to do this in commemoration of Me.
I gave the gift of the Eucharist to the Church founded upon the Apostles. I disappeared from the sight of the people but I am still with you in a very special way in the Eucharist. I am present there as I live in heaven at the right hand of the Father. Have a great devotion to the Eucharist and come to receive Me often. I bless you."

For My repentant children
February 2, 2009
JESUS: My child, write this for all the children of the World.
When you distance yourselves from GOD, do not take any other path than the One where the Most Holy Virgin of Light, "The Virgin of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple". She is the Mother who, alone, can atone the sin of Her repentant children.
Those who are touched by Her, shall have for their life, the burning fire of Her Motherly LOVE for JESUS, the Child of Divine reconciliation.
They will have to remember that the Blessed Mother and the Divine Child will always be on their heart, in order to give to the World, the "Testimony of the Great Forgiveness", of the Mother and Child.
The Mother in Love with God, and the Divine Child
who can refuse nothing to His Blessed Mother. +
Blessings this day, to those who are coming back to GOD,
through the path of the Virgin of Light.
Jesus and Mary on this day of
the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple. Amen.
Your Jesus of LOVE with My Most Holy Mother,
the Virgin of Light and of FORGIVENESS.

Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 10 - Begin changing your family life
"The Paschal Mystery is Christ at the summit of the revelation of the inscrutable mystery of God. It is precisely then that the words pronounced in the Upper Room are completely fulfilled: 'He who has seen me has seen the Father.'
In fact, Christ, whom the Father 'did not spare' for the sake of man and who in His passion and in the torment of the cross did not obtain human mercy, has revealed in His resurrection the fullness of the love that the Father has for Him and, in Him, for all people. 'He is not God of the dead, but of the living.'
In His resurrection Christ has revealed the God of merciful love, precisely because He accepted the cross as the way to the resurrection" (Pope John Paul II, Dives in Misericordia, 8).
Mother Teresa
Meditations by Padre Pio -
You must turn to God when you are assaulted by the enemy; you must hope in Him and expect everything that is good from Him. Don't voluntarily dwell on what the enemy presents to you.
Remember that, he who flees, wins, and at the first sign of your aversion for those people, you must stop thinking of it and turn to God. Bend you knee before Him, and with the greatest humility say this short prayer: "Have mercy on me a poor weakling." Then get up and, with holy indifference, go on about your business (Letters III p 418).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
The motives of many who cry peace and justice are the socializers satan loves!
"The second group of those who have been caught on the hooks of the devil's fishing line are the Socializers. Not everyone in our modern world develops social interests because he loves his neighbor in God. There are some who enter social work to escape the incessant accusing repartee of their consciences.
Failing in individual justice, they compensate for it by espousing social justice; they escape the need of personal reformation by going hog wild about social reformation; they meddle with everyone else's morals, in order to be too busy to correct their own."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Sunday, [April] 28, 1935. Low Sunday; that is, the Feast of the Divine Mercy, the conclusion of the Jubilee of Redemption. When we went to take part in the celebrations, my heart leapt with joy that the two solemnities were so closely united. I asked God for mercy on the souls of sinners. Toward the end of the service, when the priest took the Blessed Sacrament to bless the people, I saw the Lord Jesus as He is represented in the image. The Lord gave His blessing, and the rays extended over the whole world. Suddenly, I saw an impenetrable brightness in the form of a crystal dwelling place, woven together from waves of a brilliance unapproachable to both creatures and spirits. Three doors led to this resplendence. At that moment, Jesus, as He is represented in the image, entered this resplendence through the second door to the Unity within. It is a triple Unity, which is incomprehensible-which is infinity. I heard a voice, This Feast emerged from the very depths of My mercy, and it is confirmed in the vast depths of My tender mercies. Every soul believing and trusting in My mercy will obtain it. I was overjoyed at the immense goodness and greatness of my God. (420)
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.
APRIL 10 - BEGIN CHANGING YOUR FAMILY LIFE
The family is the topic of Our Lady's message today:
"Dear Children, today I call you to begin changing your family life. May it be like a harmonious flower which I can present to Jesus. Dear Children, I ask each family to actively pray, for one day the fruit of family prayer will clearly seen. Then I will give you all to Jesus, like the petals of many flowers, in fulfillment of God's plan" (Weekly Message May 1, 1986)
In this passage from Ephesians, Paul urges us to seek wisdom and to rejoice in the name of Jesus Christ:
Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of time, because the days are evil. So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Eph 5:15-20).
Reflection:
Truly our joy resides in Jesus Christ, as Paul tells the Ephesians, and as Our Lady tells the families of the world. Clearly it is in the family that Christ is born into the hearts of children and where the torch of faith is passed from one generation to the next.
And so the Blessed Mother urges that, "Every family be active in prayer," for this makes all the difference.
Application:
In response to the Virgin's message today, offer the following prayer for your family:
Lord Jesus, I implore you to grant your special graces to our family. May our home be a shrine of peace, purity, love, labor, and faith. I ask you, dear Jesus, to protect and bless all of us, absent and present, living and dead.
O Mary, loving Mother of Jesus, and our Mother, pray for our family, for all the families of the world. Guard the cradle of the newborn, the schools of the young, and their vocations.
Blessed St. Joseph, holy guardian of Jesus and Mary, assist us by your prayers in all the necessities of life. Ask of Jesus that special grace which he granted to you, to watch over our home and the pillow of the sick and the dying, so that with Mary and with you, heaven may find our family unbroken in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Amen.
Fr Doucette - Wed, Apr 08, 2009: "Contemplate on what I suffered for you"

"Contemplate on what I suffered for you"
Wednesday, April 08, 2009
Dear Friends,
Now when Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came up to him with an alabaster jar of costly perfumed oil, and poured it on his head while he was reclining at table. When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and said, Why this waste? It could have been sold for much, and the money given to the poor. Since Jesus knew this, he said to them,
Why do you make trouble for the woman? She has done a good thing for me. The poor you will always have with you; but you will not always have me. In pouring this perfumed oil upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. Amen, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be spoken of, in memory of her.? Matthew 26:6 13
It rained yesterday for a good part of the day but the sun came out in the evening and it was mild. It is partly cloudy this morning but the sun will shine later on. The temperature stays a little above the freezing point but the snow is disappearing fast.
I celebrated Holy Mass at the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island yesterday morning and I will celebrate Holy Mass again this morning at the same time. Last evening I was at our church for one hour of Eucharistic Adoration during the most holy week of the year. This evening I will go back to the church for the prayer meeting at 8:00 p.m. I expect a large group of people. I hope to send out the newsletter by the end of the week.
Here now is the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, The day of My Passion and death is now very near. I had told My Apostles many times that I would go to Jerusalem and be arrested by the Chief Priests and be condemned to death and I would die on the cross and on the third day I would rise again. The Apostles could not accept this.
Another action to show that I was close to death was the anointing by Mary of Magdala in Bethany. She poured out upon My head a costly perfumed oil to prepare My body for burial. Although Judas objected that she use this oil, I told him that she did a good thing. He wanted the oil sold and the money given to the poor but the truth is that he was in charge of the common purse and he often stole that money.
Mary of Magdala’s action showed her great love for Me, her Savior. I had forgiven her all her sins and since that time she was a follower of mine.
My dear friends, what are you going to do during this Holy Week to show Me your love? Are you going to pray more? Are you going to help the poor? My dear brothers and sisters, I call you near to Me especially during these coming days when I suffered and died for you and on the third day I rose from the dead. Show by your good actions that you are thankful and you wish to be united with Me during these days. Contemplate on what I suffered for you.
