Mother Teresa
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Confession which is the purification of the soul should be made no later than every eight days; I cannot bear to keep souls away from confession for more than eight days (AP).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
A life to be lived and a communion to be shared.
"If Christ stayed with us in the flesh, He would have come no closer to us than the touch of a hand or an embrace. But ascending to the Father and sending His Spirit of Love into our hearts, He became not an example to be copied, or a fact to be remembered, but a life to be lived and a communion to be shared. Now it is possible for us to embrace the crosses and trials of this life, knowing that the `sufferings of this life simply cannot be compared to the glory that is to come' (Romans 8: 18)."
St. Faustina's diary -http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
I have understood that at certain and most difficult moments I shall be alone, deserted by everyone, and that I must face all the storms and fight with all the strength of my soul, even with those from whom I expected to get help. But I am not alone, because Jesus is with me, and with Him I fear nothing. I am well aware of everything, and I know what God is demanding of me. Suffering, contempt, ridicule, persecution, and humiliation will be my constant lot. I know no other way. For sincere love-ingratitude; this is my path, marked out by the footprints of Jesus.
My Jesus, my strength and my only hope, in You alone is all my hope. My trust will not be frustrated. (746)
My union with the dying is still as close as ever. Oh, how incomprehensible is God's mercy that the Lord allows me, by my unworthy prayer, to come to the aid of the dying. I try to be at the side of every dying person whenever I can. Have confidence in God, for He is good and inconceivable. His mercy surpasses our understanding. (880)
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 19 - MAY JESUS RISE IN YOUR FAMILIES
The spirit of the resurrection colors Our Lady's message today:
"Pray a great deal at Easter. May Jesus truly rise in your families. Where there is war, let there be peace. May your become new people.
My children, I thank you. Continue to bring about the Resurrection of Jesus in all men". (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana February 21, 1984).
And in Matthew's gospel, the account of the resurrection:
And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. But the angel said to the woman, "Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, "He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.' This is my message for you (Mt 28:2-7)
Reflection:
The Chinese princess Tou Wan, who died about 104 B.C., was buried in a jade suit. Her husband, who had died nine years earlier, was given a suit. The pair were laid to rest in vast tombs hollowed out of a rocky hillside.
In 1969, when their tombs were discovered, they created a sensation because of the staggering wealth of the 2,800 funeral offerings. Most spectacular of all were the jade suits, each made up of more than 2,000 tiny plates of thin jade, sewn together with gold thread. Nobles of the period believed gold and jade would stand the ravages of time, and so confer immortality.
St. John Chrysostom wrote, "After the royal throne comes death; but after the dunghill comes the kingdom of Heaven." Despite failure, mankind has been undeterred in its attempts to conquer death. But the message of Our Lady and St. Matthew is one of genuine hope and shinning promise: "Do not fear. You are eternal, like the stars of heaven. You are the heirs of God."" We have no need, then, of jade garments, for we have the promise of Jesus Christ.
Application:
Today, while praying the first Glorious Mystery of the rosary, reflect on the gift of eternal life.
Messages to John Leary March 25-April 15, 2009

Jesus said: My people, I have given you many messages speaking about the eventual bankruptcy of America. Now some of your Congress people are claiming that if the planned budget deficits continue, that your country will be headed into bankruptcy. Some of your economists are even talking about a 20% chance of America falling into a mild depression. Records of high unemployment abound, and many have lost 30-50% of their investments. Companies are still talking about layoffs, and some banks and companies have already failed.
Many economists and government people are doing everything to make things look like they are improving, but it is all artificial so far. The surprise is that this slowdown will drag on for a lot longer time than is predicted. It is better to trust in My help to get you through these hard times than trust in your money, your investments, or the government.
All of the things around you will come to nothing, but it is your soul that will last forever. This is why your spiritual life is more important to look after than wasting time worrying about the economic hard times around you. Put your faith and trust in Me and you will have nothing to worry about.

Jesus said: My people, many of you are so happy to see the sun and some warmer temperatures in the North. The beginnings of spring is a welcome relief to all of the winter cold, ice, and snow. This joy is first expressed in a desire to pick up your yard from all of the leaves and branches that were left over from fall and the wind. During Lent you do some penances to also try and clean up some of your bad habits that may be holding you back in your spiritual life. It is not easy to admit to some of your faults, but working to correct them is a constant work to avoid sin.
The more often that you take time to have your sins forgiven in Confession, the easier it will be to withstand any future temptations to sin. Keeping your soul pure and cleansed is a life long work, and you cannot let your guard down at any time because the devil is seeking the ruin of souls constantly. Work to perfect your own soul and help other souls to see My Light as well. By profiting from your Lenten devotions, you will be even more joyful in the Spirit at Easter and the rest of the year.
Prayer Group:
Our Blessed Mother said: My dear children, you have been led to place my Miraculous Medals all over your house for protection from evil spirits and natural disasters. Even more important you can pray to me with this medal for souls who have fallen away from their faith and are no longer coming to Sunday Mass.
These souls know that it is their place to be at Sunday Mass, but they are making worldly excuses not to come. During this Lent I want you to pray my Miraculous Medal prayers for these fallen away souls, especially those souls in your family. Put this medal around them and invite them back to church. Once they have a love for this medal and me, I will not forget them and I will intercede with my Son, Jesus, for their souls.
Jesus said: My people, there is an eternal flame in every church in every sanctuary that honors My Real Presence in My Blessed Sacrament in My tabernacle. This flame burns strong because I call everyone to make a special visit to Me to share in My abundant graces. Some have made an extra offering to come to daily Mass for Lent.
Another devotion is to make a special effort to adore Me in open Adoration in My monstrance or a visit to My tabernacle. Everything that you can do to come closer to your Savior, will enrich your love for Me during this Lent.
Jesus said: My people, I am pleased with all of those faithful who believe in My image on the Shroud of Turin, and especially those who promote the viewing of this image. You are fortunate to have this opportunity to see My wounds that I suffered for all of you. This is appropriate also right before Holy Week and Good Friday. You have seen this image before with Alex, and you can see My very face and dimensions of My height.
You have seen Roger and his miracles of seeing everyone’s faces in the magnifications of the blood on this Shroud. You have been to Turin and have seen pictures of the original relic. Treasure this witness of the very moment of My Resurrection.
Jesus said: My people, I am showing you this image of Me as the King of Kings because some people worship idols or other human beings as gods. I am the only One worthy of your worship and there should be no other gods before Me. This is the First Commandment, but some make money, fame, possessions, or other human beings as idols in violation of My Law.
See to it that you do not make idols of these things and consecrate everything over to Me out of love for Me. Those, who love Me sincerely from the heart, are not far from the Kingdom of heaven.
Jesus said: My people, you have just read the recent account of how My people in the desert fashioned a golden calf for idol worship, even as Moses was receiving My Ten Commandments. Even today your Wall Street people worship a golden bull for their bull market where they cheat and steal to gain money in their manipulated stocks. You have experienced a collapse in your markets as a punishment for your greed and avarice. Now, even as these same people want to bring their markets back to life,
I will dash them again with your coming bankruptcy. I tell you all those, who worship money instead of Me, will find their soul’s demise in their lust for wealth. Trust in Me and worship only the One true God.
Jesus said: My people, many are suffering from this recession and for those, who have lost their jobs, it is like a depression. As a Lenten penance look to help those who need food and those who are homeless, and do what you can with donations and your personal help so they can survive. Helping at a food shelf or a soup kitchen can be a means to donate your time as well as your food.
Jesus said: My people, your churches offer many special services during Lent to pray the Stations of the Cross and opportunities for retreats and Confession with the priests. Take advantage of these services to build up your spiritual life, and have your souls cleansed of your sins. As you are approaching Holy Week, make time available so you can share in these services of the Triduum so you can appreciate how much I suffered to save your souls.
Friday, March 27, 2009
Jesus said: My people, these rays of Light from heaven into purgatory are the conduit or path for souls, who are worthy, to be led into heaven by My angels. On certain feast days those souls, that have been purified, are allowed to leave purgatory to their assigned level in heaven. Many souls, when they die, are not condemned to hell, but they are not sufficiently perfected to enter heaven either.
These souls are then sent to a various level of purgatory for purification according to their particular judgment. These souls cannot pray for themselves, but they must rely on their friends and relatives to offer Masses and prayers on their behalf. Masses are the most powerful prayers that can help these poor souls. They are not hopeless, since one day they are promised to be in heaven.
This is far better than a judgment to hell where souls have no hope, and are lost for all eternity. This is why all of heaven pleads with My faithful to try and save as many souls from hell as you can. You do not want to see anyone condemned to hell. Remember to pray for the poor souls in purgatory every day, and especially for your family as well as the souls who have no one to pray for them. If you saw the suffering going on in purgatory, you would answer their pleas for help even more.
Jesus said: My people, you know that there are masons and Council of Foreign Relations people that are running your government. The one world people are smart enough to put their people in places of influence to control how your money is spent.
The recklessness and speed at which trillions of dollars are being allocated for your bank failures, stimulus plans, and bailouts, should show you that these people of power are trying to hurry up the bankruptcy of America for their takeover. Be watchful of the events unfolding as the Executive Branch is reaching for more power to socialize control of your government by controlling the banks and other financial institutions.
As the Federal Reserve tries to monetize your deficits, there are holders of your debts who do not want to see your money inflated.
China has complained about the U.S. deficit spending and wants an international reserve currency other than the dollar so their investments do not become worthless. Your Treasury Secretary was in agreement with China at first, but then realized that he had to stand up for the dollar.
This is another sign to you that the powers running your government are getting ready to change over to the amero currency and make your dollar denominated assets next to worthless. This is why having food and things to barter with will be of more value to you than worthless dollars. Continue to be prepared to leave at a moment’s notice for your refuges because events leading up to a takeover are very close.

Jesus said: My people, this foggy road is how you face life every day when it is hard to determine your direction by yourself. This is exactly why you must realize that you are dependent on Me for everything in your life. When you need something, or when you need to make some big decisions on the direction for your life, come to Me in prayer so I can help you discern what is best for your soul.
Your first inclination may be to take the easy and most comfortable choice, but this may not be the best choice for the long term. Come to Me before My Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle, and let Me talk to your heart in the quiet of your contemplative prayer. Once I have affirmed your path and have opened your eyes of faith, then you can see clearly the path to your salvation.
Jesus said: My people, a socialistic or even communist government will be coming to America. Your government will soon be controlling every facet of your life through smart cards in your driver’s license, or in your passports. Eventually, they will mandate chips in the body which you are to refuse and run to your refuges.
Those, who stay behind, will need chips to buy and sell food and everything else, including house taxes. If you do not use your smart card, you cannot buy food and they will condemn your house and take it away.
I have told you that National Health will demand smart cards and again you could not buy your drugs without it. By going to My refuges, you will look on the luminous cross and be healed of all of your medical conditions. Look at what is going on in your government as your politicians cannot bankrupt your country fast enough.
Beware of all of this fast spending of trillions of dollars with very little time to read any new legislation. Your new leaders want fiat rule so they can control all of you like robots while trying to lead your soul into the hands of the Antichrist. Be forewarned of these coming events as you are preparing to leave for the safety of My refuges.

Jesus said: My people, when I healed people in the Gospel, I focused on healing souls without trying to draw fame to Myself. Even when I cast demons out of people, I told the demons to be quiet and not to proclaim that I was the Holy One of God. I truly was a hidden Messiah. There were several incidents when My true identity was given. My Transfiguration was witnessed only by three of My apostles.
In Nazareth’s synagogue I told them that I was a fulfillment of Isaiah’s writings of healing people, but they wanted to kill Me for blasphemy. Among My apostles St. Peter was given by My Father to know that I was the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity.
Before the High Priest I also admitted that I was the Son of God, but they crucified Me for blasphemy. This was all part of the plan for My crucifixion to save all of mankind from their sins. Many saw power in My healings, My miracles, and the authority of My words, but few wanted to admit that I was the Messiah, especially My own Jewish people refused to believe in Me. Yet, despite this rejection,
My Resurrection was proof to everyone who wants to believe in Me. The history of My Church’s formation and its existence up to today is also a witness to My protection from the gates of hell. Only those, who believe in Me, and accept Me, can enter into heaven, for I truly am the Messiah for all time. I am with you always in My Blessed Sacrament.
Monday, March 30, 2009: (Susanna story-Daniel)
Jesus said: My people, you know that officials in your government and every clergy are sinners with the rest of you. You would hope that people in the public’s eye would know better that people are watching their every move. Still you see drug use, conniving for money, cheating on taxes, and sexual involvements with your public officials. In My Church you have also seen stealing of the collections, and homosexual and heterosexual encounters with My priest sons.
It is a scandal in government and in My Church when this happens, but usually these evil doers are removed from their positions, but not always. It is sad when money and power can even let these bad officials get away with their crimes and they stay in office.
This corruption among public leaders makes all officials suspicious, which is why many do not trust their government leaders and some do not even trust Church leaders. Pray for your government and Church leaders that they do their job correctly without becoming defiled with worldly wealth or pleasures.
Jesus said: My people, there is a large problem with the finances at two of your car manufacturers that required billions of dollars to keep their doors open. But now they are asking for more money to keep going. Your President is showing another grab for power by firing the CEO at GM on his own. Such leaders were not even fired at several of the financial organizations that your government has bailed out.
Your government is planning to allow possible bankruptcy to avoid contracts and then support the revival of these car manufacturers with drastic changes required. These drastic actions are risking the loss of your auto manufacturers and the loss of more jobs. Every day there is another government play to nationalize or socialize another industry. It would be better to let markets deal with bankruptcies than prolong bad situations that bailouts will not solve.
The heavy deficits caused by your bailouts will bankrupt your country, and there is plenty of manipulation in handling the dispersing of the bailout money. Beware of your huge debts that will be near impossible to finance. When your financial system fails, you will need to go to My refuges to avoid the martial law.
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
Jesus said: My people, today’s reading of Moses lifting up the bronze serpent to heal those bitten by the seraph serpents, has much meaning for the coming Holy Week. Soon you will be reading of My crucifixion on the cross as I was lifted up to save everyone from their sins. When you look upon My crucifix, you can see how much I suffered for each one of you in giving up My life, so you could have eternal life in heaven.
Without My sacrifice for your salvation, the doors of heaven could not have been opened as they are open today.
There is an example in My suffering on the cross because I want everyone to take up their own cross, and share life’s trials with Me on My cross. During the tribulation, you will see a luminous cross over every refuge in the sky, and when My faithful look upon this cross, you will be healed of all of your medical problems just like Mosesbronze serpent. In addition to your physical healing, you will see spiritual healings as well when you look upon My luminous cross.
If you do not have a priest for Confession, you can pray your Act of Contrition while looking on this cross, and your sins will be forgiven. During all ages I give you every opportunity to repent of your sins and be saved. During Lent take the opportunity of Confession to cleanse your souls in preparation for Holy Week.
Jesus said: My people, I am recalling a scene on the Sea of Galilee when there was a large storm that was swamping the boat that I was in with My apostles. (Mark 4:35-40) I was awakened by My apostles because they feared that we were going to drown from the storm. I calmed the waters and the storm , and then I questioned their little faith.
My apostles still did not realize My powers, for I can do the impossible in man’s eyes. All that I ask is that you have faith in how I will protect you from the evil ones. Today you are in a financial storm which could easily lead to chaos and riots should the banks be closed or your power is turned off. I am here for My faithful as well in this coming tribulation. Instead of calming everything all over the world,
I will make places of calm at all of My refuges where My angels will protect you and provide for your needs. When I am with you, you have nothing to fear, even as I calmed the storm to save My apostles in the boat. Trust in My hand of protection that is always watching over you.
Wednesday, April 1, 2009
Jesus said: My people, you have seen some serious flooding in the Mid-West of your country from heavy rain and snow melting. Some people are seeing too much water, while others are witnessing droughts as in Texas. This high water level is also a reflection of your high sin level. If evil could be measured in water terms, then you are also witnessing a flood of evil as well. Your abortions and wars continue, as well as your drug traffic and killings associated with drugs.
Euthanasia, sexual sins, and embryonic stem cell research continues to raise the evil level in America. The death culture is running rampant with your latest administration, so expect the worst as a consequence of your misdeeds.
More natural disasters, and more financial problems will be the harvest when you offend Me with these killings. Not only will your economy falter, but your whole government will be taken over by the one world people as evil will reign for a short time. Pray that this time of evil will be shortened for the sake of My faithful.
Jesus said: My people, you are seeing in the news some scenes from England and the Royal Court. Aristocracies with kings and queens are mostly figureheads at most in your heads of government that have presidents and prime ministers. In older days kings ruled over their subjects with dictatorial power.
There are physical kingdoms on earth, but the Kingdom of God is a spiritual kingdom that reigns over the physical and the spiritual realms. I am your King of Kings and I sit on My throne in heaven next to God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. We are all One in the Blessed Trinity. When I came down to earth as a God-man, I died for your sins, and I conquered death and sin.
The Kingdom of God is among you in My very Real Presence in My consecrated Hosts all over the world. Give honor and glory to My Kingship which gives peace to all of your souls. Keep focused on Me to bring all of you closer to Me in following My laws instead of your laws.
Thursday, April 2, 2009: (St. Francis of Paola)
Jesus said: My people, the readings for today talk of two great Covenants in the Bible. The first talks about Abraham how he will be a Father of all Nations, and his descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky. He also was promised the land that they were occupying. In the Gospel you are seeing another statement of My being the Son of God when I declared to the people that before Abraham came to be I AM.
The Jewish leaders did not accept that I was God, or the Messiah, so they tried to kill Me for blaspheming in their eyes. It was for this reason that I declared Myself as the Son of God that eventually they were to crucify Me.
But this is why I came into the world to offer up My life as a worthy sacrifice to ransom all of mankind and bring all of you salvation from your sins.
My crucifixion is a fulfillment of another promise or Covenant that a Messiah would be sent to free all peoples of their sins. Soon you will revisit the words of My suffering on Passion or Palm Sunday leading into Holy Week. Rejoice that I keep all of My promises for mankind, and I continue to watch over you at all times.
Prayer Group:
Jesus said: My people, you have been graced with this exposition of My Holy Shroud at Turin. It shows you all of the nail marks and ths scourging that I suffered, even with My crown of thorns. The vision of the woman anointing Me with oil was done for My pending burial before I was crucified. The wrappings found in the tomb had My image imbedded in the cloth at the moment of My Resurrection when My Light caused this image to form. Rejoice that you have this replica to give witness to My Crucifixion and My Resurrection.
Jesus said: My people, in this scene the people were singing My praise: Hosanna in the Highest. This celebration as I rode into Jerusalem on a donkey was a joyful jubilation, but it lasted only a short time, just as human fame is fleeting. After I shared the Passover Meal that some call The Last Supper, I instituted My Body and Blood in the First Eucharist under the appearances of bread and wine. Later, in the Garden of Gethsamani the people now wanted to crucify Me for claiming I was the Son of God which I am. Be prepared for the coming Holy Week services.
Jesus said: My people, thank you also for displaying Josyp Terelya’s picture of Me as you depart for his funeral. I have given you a message how I wanted to be a hidden Messiah without any fame for Myself. Others did not want to admit that I was the Messiah even when I performed miracles and rose from the dead in My glorious Resurrection.
Once My apostles were given the gifts of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, they were emboldened to go out into the streets to shout that the Kingdom of God was upon everyone. They witnessed My words in the Gospels and I put St. Peter in charge of My Church where the popes have carried on My words of salvation to all peoples, even until today.
Jesus said: My people, there were other relics of My last days that are treasured in sacred places. Some sought the Holy Grail that I offered up at My Last Supper. Veronica’s veil also held a miraculous image of My face as she wiped My face during My carrying of My Cross. Some have relics of My True Cross that have seen healings come from holding it. Even the spear of Longinus that pierced My side was sought for legendary power. All of these artifacts have a holy significance in addition to the Shroud and other miracles of My Eucharist.
Jesus said: My people, you are about to share in praising Me on Palm Sunday as you hold your palms in procession. The irony of this Sunday is that it is also called Passion Sunday because you are reading the account of My suffering and death on the cross. It is appropriate that you are displaying My Shroud of suffering right before hearing My passion again.
As you read the details of how I suffered, think of how much I loved mankind, that of My own free will, I was willing to sacrifice My life for all of you. I could have saved you in a less dramatic way, but I chose this crucifixion to show you that I would go to any extreme to save all sinners from their sins.
Jesus said: My people, there are redemptive graces that can be obtained in your Masses, your prayers, and your good deeds. Those, who give their lives for My Name’s sake, will receive instant sainthood and their intercession for your prayers will bring more souls to conversion. Offer up your own suffering and crosses with My suffering, and I will multiply My graces for all sinners who need to repent and be converted.
Jesus said: My people, I thank you for all of your beautiful displays, but most of all I share My graces even more with My holy adorers who take special time to adore Me in holy hours or visit Me in My tabernacle. Receiving Me in Holy Communion or adoring My Host will give you a peace in your heart and soul that cannot be found anywhere else among your worldly things.
Friday, April 3, 2009
Jesus said: My people, it was the Scribes and Pharisees that stirred up the people to crucify Me by their accusations. Many times I warned the people to hear their words, but not to follow their deeds and actions. I gave many woes about them, but the vision of placing too many burdens on the people’s backs is quoted in (Matt 23:3,4) All things, therefore, that they command you, observe and do. But do not act according to their works, for they talk but do nothing.
And they bind together heavy and oppressive burdens, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but do not with one finger of their own do they choose to move them.It was for My criticisms and showing the people a new way to follow that the Scribes and Pharisees were threatened and they wanted to kill Me.
Even in your own government you also see heavy burdens of taxes and regulations that are weighing you down and oppressing you with their microchips. You will also face persecution as I did. So as you follow My passion and death, you can offer your sufferings to Me on the cross. Be prepared with My graces to endure the coming tribulation.
Our Blessed Mother said: My dear children, I am very proud of my dear Josyp in all of our experiences together and in all of the pictures of me that he painted. I especially want to share two dear moments in Josyp’s life that touched me deeply. I appeared to many people in Hrushiv and Josyp was very faithful in sharing my visions and my words to him. At another time Josyp was being frozen to death by his captors in his cell, and he prayed for my help.
I miraculously kept him warm that night and astounded his captors, and actually brought one closer to God. Josyp’s work is not ended, but will continue on from heaven. When you pray to Josyp and me as intercessors, you will see many miracles of grace in both physical and spiritual healings.
He sends his love to Sam, his children, and all of his friends. Give praise and thanks to my son, Jesus, for the gift of Josyp’s life to all of humanity.

Josyp said: John, I am happy to see all of my friends and family here as well as the clergy. I thank all of them for coming to share their respects with my family. I send my blessings over all of you and I will be praying for all of your souls and protection. I suffered much in the prisons of my homeland for my Church and this was very acceptable to me.
This was my purgatory on earth, but I would do it again if it were possible. I am sad in my heart to see how many suffered persecution in my homeland, but they remained strong in their faith.
The sad part is how in places of freedom as in Canada and the United States that the people are falling away from their faith. Instead of coming closer to Jesus and Mary, the people are paying more attention to the distractions of the world. I plead with all peoples to get down on their knees and pray for the conversion of sinners because the time to repent is short. I bless all of you.
Jesus said: My people, Josyp is fortunate to have his funeral right before Holy Week because he has shared in My suffering on the cross, and now he is celebrating My Resurrection with Me in heaven. Josyp and many people have suffered persecution for My Name’s sake and some have given their lives as martyrs for not denying their faith. Some, who were not physical martyrs, as Josyp, were drymartyrs for the faith.
A time is coming soon in the tribulation when a worse persecution will befall you and you will see an evil worse than you have ever seen. Again you will see more martyrs give their lives instead of denying their faith.
Others will be led to the safety of My refuges. All of My faithful will unite all of your sufferings with Me on My cross and your crosses will become much heavier. Just as Simon helped Me to carry My cross, so I will bring My graces to each of you to make you strong in your faith, and I will assist you in carrying your cross in the end days. Call on Josyp and Me to help you through this trial of your life.
Sunday, April 5, 2009: (Palm Sunday)
Jesus said: My people, I know that you have just heard the account of My passion and death on Mount Calvary. The visions are highlights of the more important parts of this Gospel of St. Mark (Mk 14:1-15:41).
There is a great significance in the institution of My Eucharist as My Real Presence is always with My consecrated Bread and Wine which become My very Body and Blood. This account of the Last Supper is constantly repeated at every Mass so you always have Me present among you. At the scene of My agony in the Garden of Gethsemani I said to My apostles who were sleeping, Could you not pray with Me for one hour?
This is significant not only for My apostles, but it is an invitation to all of you to pray frequent holy hours with Me. If you truly love Me, then a holy hour is a witness of the sincerity of your words.
The third scene on the cross is a remembrance of the good thief’s plea to Me. (Luke 23:42) Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom.My answer to him is the answer that all of you want to hear from My lips: Amen, I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with Me in Paradise.In St. John’s Gospel (Jn 19:26-27)
I gave My Blessed Mother over to John’s care and she became a mother to St. John and to all of My children as she puts her mantle of protection over everyone. These Palm Sunday or Passion Sunday readings are the core of your faith in Me, so meditate on all the readings for Holy Week.

Jesus said: My people, I am showing you the greatest place on earth because this tomb in the vision is where I resurrected from the dead, and I give hope to all sinners who believe in Me that they too could be resurrected one day.
Right before I raised Lazarus from the dead I spoke to Martha. (Jn 11:25-26) I am the Resurrection and the Life; he who believes in Me, even if he die, shall live; and whoever lives and believes in Me, shall never die.Mary in today’s Gospel reading (Jn 12:7-8) anointed Me with the oil of My burial, even though some criticized her.
Let her be-that she may keep it for the day of My burial. For the poor you have always with you, but you do not always have Me.These wonderful readings of the resurrection of Lazarus and Myself are so beautiful.
You must take time to realize that this hope of heaven and being fully resurrected in body and soul at the final judgment should be the goal of every Christian, and anyone who believes in Me. This is your purpose in life that you may live eternally with Me in heaven.
Jesus said: My people, remember how I protected the Israelites from the Egyptian Army during the Exodus. I put a large flame to block the Egyptiansway and then I drowned them in the Red Sea. As My faithful of today seek My protection, I will have your guardian angels make you invisible as you go to your refuges.
You may be able to drive part of the way, use your bikes, or walk if you do not have any other way. It is all about trusting in My protection that will give peace to your soul. Do not worry about using guns, or where you will find food or shelter.
My angels will be your protection and they will build whatever shelter that you will need. Food and water will be multiplied when you need it. You are dependent on Me for everything now, and you will depend on Me during the tribulation as well.
Do not lose your faith, and do not take any chip in your body. Worship only Me and never anyone else. All of those, who remain faithful to Me, will find their reward in My Era of Peace and finally in heaven.

Jesus said: My people, I knew very early on that Judas would be My betrayer. Judas had made plans with the religious leaders to hand Me over before the Last Supper. So he was open to Satan entering him, and Judas then carried out his betrayal for the thirty pieces of silver. In your government and My Church you also have spies where Satan has entered their hearts.
They will betray your people in a takeover of America, and other evil ones will lead the schismatic church when there is a division from My faithful remnant. These evil ones also have sold out for thirty pieces of silver, but they will receive their reward in hell and My faithful in heaven.
Jesus said: My people, you are seeing one natural disaster after another in your floods, tornadoes, and now the recent earthquake in Italy. When you see earthquakes that displace water on the ocean floor, then you have a chance for a displacement of water that could set a tsunami in motion.
The last major tsunami killed hundreds of thousands of people, as the wave traveled many miles at a fast speed. Many strong earthquakes have been occurring recently and one of these could create another killer tsunami. Trust in My protection and I will lead you to safe places at My refuges that will protect you from any harm because My angels will be watching over you.

Jesus said: My people, I am the life blood of your spiritual life. Without Me and My Eucharist, you would not have eternal life. It is My death on the cross and My institution of Holy Communion and Confession as sacraments that gives you the grace to enter the open gates of heaven.
Because My death on the cross has enabled you to have your sins forgiven, My crucifix should be your greatest remembrance of this gift of life. This is why you should have a large crucifix on every altar of every church. I have paid the ransom price for all of your souls, so looking on My crucifix should help keep you focused on the One who loves you most.
When you walk in obedience to My laws and give everything over to Me, you are making a complete commitment to Me in your consecration to Me.
It is this total surrender of your heart and soul to Me, and your detachment from worldly things that will lead you on the path to heaven. Just as I gave My life up for you out of love, so you can give your life over to Me out of love for Me. By having Me with you at all times, you will have My peace in your soul that no one else can promise you.
Jesus said: My people, there are some people who read a lot of books and they are called book-smart. But unless they apply that knowledge to practical uses, then that person is still smart, but their hands are empty of any deeds. It is the same way with knowing chapter and verse of the Bible or other books as the Catechism.
This remains all good knowledge, but you need to put this knowledge into actions and deeds. You may know the Ten Commandments, but you must obey them to show your love for Me. You may know all about My life and how to live from the Gospels, but unless you live your faith or imitate Me in your actions, then this knowledge is not used.
Keeping the faith by your actions, and performing good deeds out of love for Me, will gain more treasure for you in heaven.
Establishing a true love relationship with your Lord takes a personal commitment that will involve giving your will over to Me so I can fully direct your life on the right path to heaven. Faith and good works therefore are much better than all of your book knowledge of the world or of holy books.

Jesus said: My people, My Divine Mercy is for every soul that repents and changes their life to one in imitation of Me. As you look upon this image from St. Faustina and pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, your soul will receive My protection to make you strong in the face of your daily temptations.
Making the Easter Novena and going to Confession within a week of Mercy Sunday will take away all temporal punishment due for your sins. This great promise to St. Faustina is a blessing of mercy for all souls who follow these instructions.
My Divine Mercy draws you closer to Me, and you can identify with My suffering every time that you pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet at the 3:00 p.m. hour. Even if you are unable to pray this chaplet during this hour, make a point to pray these prayers every day. By drawing on My Divine Mercy to forgive your sins, you will see why it is so important not to offend Me in your sins. Remember what I told the adulteress: Go and sin no more.
Friday, April 10, 2009: (Good Friday)
Jesus said: My people, you have suffered your little penances all throughout Lent and you give them over to Me on the cross. Every day you carry your cross in this life, and do not think that all of your sufferings go unnoticed. I see all that you suffer in the little and large things in your life.
So do not be depressed over them, but accept them joyfully for Me because there is redemptive merits in them when you give them over to Me. As you read the account of My Crucifixion, see how much I was willing to suffer for each person’s sins. As you look closely at the Shroud of Turin, you can see the blood marks from My five wounds and all of the rips in My skin from My scourging.
Even on My head you can see the wounds of My crown of thorns, and the bruises on My shoulder and My knees.
It is painful to see how much I suffered, but I went to this extent of torture and death to ransom the sins of all mankind. Not every one accepts Me, and I suffer more rejection from people who do not love Me and do not thank Me for the openness to their salvation.
Every sinner can repent of their sins and I will forgive them. Pray for the conversion of poor sinners so they can be saved from hell. Everyone has a choice for heaven or hell, but unless you repent and accept Me as Master of your life, then you cannot come to heaven.
Saturday, April 11, 2009: (Easter Vigil)
Jesus said: My people, this vision of My Resurrection did occur on the third day at 3:00 a.m. in the morning. This is why some have the urging at this time to pray and give glory to Me. The accounts of the women meeting the angels at the tomb were revealing to them. (Luke 24:5,6) Why do you seek the living One among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.This proof of My Resurrection did not satisfy My apostles. It was My physical appearances that convinced them that I was not a ghost and that I had true flesh and blood showing them My wounds.
It took some time and My sending of the Holy Spirit until My disciples truly believed and started teaching My Resurrection to others. These accounts are further proof to My faithful that I truly resurrected and that everyone of My faithful will also one day be resurrected body and soul after the last judgment. Rejoice that I conquered sin and death by My Resurrection. Be glad in singing your Alleluia verses.
Sunday, April 12, 2009: (Easter Sunday)
Jesus said: My people, My death on the cross opened the gates to heaven because I paid the ransom for all the sins of mankind, both in the past and the future. The souls, who were pure enough to enter heaven, were released from the place of the dead. Easter was a glorious time for all souls. (Matt. 27:52,53)
And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose, and coming out of the tombs after His Resurrection, came into the holy city, and appeared to many.
This event gave hope to those still living and further hope to those living today that you also could be resurrected one day. Give praise and thanks to Me for all of My gifts to My faithful. Repent and follow My laws, and you will have your reward in heaven.
Monday, April 13, 2009
Jesus said: My people, you know how the souls were released from the dead when I resurrected. The saints came to heaven, but there are still others in purgatory that have not yet been allowed to come to heaven. Every time a soul passes from this life, there is a particular judgment for that soul to hell, purgatory, or heaven.
Because of My death on the cross, some souls are allowed directly into heaven if they have been purified in this life by suffering or a holy life. Those, who need purification, are sent to various levels of purgatory. By your good deeds, prayers, and leading a holy life, you can lay up treasure in heaven that will lessen your stay in purgatory.
I want everyone to come to heaven and avoid hell, but this is dependent on the personal choices that you make on earth in this life. I give you an opportunity to have your sins forgiven any time that you can come to Confession.
There is no excuse for not being prepared to die because this could happen to you at any time. By frequent Confession you can keep your soul pure and ready for your particular judgment. As you rejoice in this Easter Season, remember that saving your soul and the souls of others should be your primary concerns in this life.
Jesus said: My people, the meaning of the word Bethlehemis house of bread. My churches are little Bethlehems because each church in My tabernacle is housing My consecrated Body and Blood in the holy bread of My Host. You have My Real Presence in My consecrated Bread in every tabernacle.
So as you make a visit to My Blessed Sacrament, you are adoring and praising your God in your Adoration time. I thank you for visiting Me and keeping Me comforted by your presence every night that you come to Me. My adorers are special to Me because they realize that their God is ever present to them in My tabernacle. Trust in Me that I will be guarding you at all times from the evil temptations of the world.

Jesus said: My people, after My Resurrection there were several accounts given of My appearances in My resurrected Body. The women notified My apostles that the tomb, where I was buried, is now empty. The apostles went to the tomb and found it so. (Jn 20:6,7) Simon Peter therefore came following him (John), and he went into the tomb, and saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief which had been about His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded in a place by itself.This burial cloth, that you have come to know as the Holy Shroud of Turin, is the cloth in your vision. Many have come to believe in Me by this miracle of My Image on this shroud.
I first appeared to Mary Magdalene, and she did not recognize Me in My resurrected Body until I called her name, Mary. She reported My appearance to the apostles, but some did not want to believe her. I call each person by name to come and believe in Me. This is everyone’s choice because I do not force My love on anyone. But for those, who come to believe in Me, now you will have the gift of eternal life.
Wednesday, April 15, 2009: (Road to Emmaus)
Jesus said: My people, this encounter with two of My disciples on the road to Emmaus was a beautiful opportunity to explain all of the Old Testament references to how I would suffer and perform miracles.
Every time that I performed a miracle of healing or raised someone from the dead, the people were amazed, but they did not want to believe that I was the Son of God. They did not know where My power came from, but they knew I was born among them.
They also did not connect that I was fulfilling the role of the Messiah because I did not fit their vision of a ruler who would save them from the Romans. I indeed reminded My disciples of the prophetsprophecies, but they could not believe or understand what rising from the dead meant.
Several times I mentioned that I was sent by God and I was performing the works that the prophets foretold. But the Jews would not accept Me as a God-man and they killed Me because they thought that I was blaspheming in My claiming to be the Son of God. After I arose from the dead and witnessed My flesh body to My disciples, they truly believed that I was the Messiah.
It was after Pentecost and when they received the Holy Spirit that My disciples had the courage to go forth and proclaim My Gospel and heal the infirm. Believe in the Good News of My Resurrection, and be thankful that I paid the ransom for everyone’s sins.
