Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Temptations against faith and purity are the merchandise offered by the enemy, but do not fear him, rather, despise him. As long as he makes an uproar it is a sign that he has not yet possessed the will. Don't be upset by what you experience through the work of this rebellious angel. Let your will always be contrary to his suggestions, and live tranquilly, because you are not at fault, but rather, you please God and gain progress for your soul (Letters III p426).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Those who hate love company!
"Finding a group which collectivizes and intensifies their hatred, those who hate swallow the hook, not so much because of what they admire in the group, but because of what they hate outside the group which socializes their hatred."
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 9 - I CALL YOU TO HUMILITY
The Blessed Mother speaks of humility in this message from 1985:
"Dear Children, today I call you to humility. These days all of you have felt a great joy because of all the people who have come here, and to whom you spoke with love about your experiences. With humility and an open heart, continue to speak with all those who are coming." (Weekly Message June 27, 1985).
In this great act of humility, the Creator is baptized by the created:
Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him. John would have prevented him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and yet you come to me?" But Jesus answered him, "Let it be so now; for it is proper for us in this way to fulfill all righteousness." Then he consented. (Mt 3:13-15).
Reflection:
Humility is not to be confused with humiliation, which is really degradation. Humility is simply seeing ourselves as God sees us, weak and prone to sin, yet made in his likeness and image. Apart form God we are nothing, yet with him we are the heirs of kingdom.
This spirit of humility can be gleaned in remarks Florence Nightingale once made about her career:
If I could give you information on my life, it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God, in strange and unaccustomed paths, to do in his service what he has done for her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing. I have worked hard, very hard that is all, and I have never refused God anything.
Thoreau wrote that, "Humility like darkness reveals the heavenly lights."" We are called as well to recognize and proclaim that light as it shines in our own lives.
Application:
Today, begin to live Our Lady's message on humility, realizing that it is a virtue that rests upon the knowledge of God and of oneself.
Medjugorje Day By Day Apr 08 - The Holy Spirit is working in a special way
"From the celebration and adoration of the Eucharist spring the requirements of the faith, which lead one to become involved seriously in the destiny of the men and women of our time, such as the constant proclamation of the Good News to all; sincere and effective solidarity...; human and Christian promotion...; and, especially for the lay faithful ... the commitment to ordering and sanctifying temporal realities" (Pope John Paul II, March 25, 1996).
If you don't love the Cross, you know nothing of God's love
Mother Teresa
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
-
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Don't let temptations frighten you. They are the trials of those souls whom God wants to put to the test when He sees them strong enough to sustain the battle, weaving with their own hands the crown of glory. Up to now your life has been that of an infant, now the Lord wants to treat you as an adult.
And as the trials of adult life are much greater that those of an infant, this is why you find yourself rather disorganized in the beginning. But the soul will acquire its calm, and the calm will not delay in coming. Be patient a while longer and everything will work out well (Letters III, p 630).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Hate evolves from seeking to place blame on others.
"Hate may come from being ridiculed, for having lost a job, or for being unsuccessful. In order to exonerate themselves, they fasten the blame on others, and develop an unholy hate against a class, a race, a government, a party, a business organization, a group or a Church. But, since their individual hate has such impotence, they search about for some conspiracy that will socialize their resentment."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Most Holy Trinity, I trust in Your infinite mercy. God is my Father and so I, His child, have every claim to His divine Heart; and the greater the darkness, the more complete our trust should be. (357)
I do not understand how it is possible not to trust in Him who can do all things. With Him, everything; without Him, nothing. He is Lord. He will not allow those who have placed all their trust in Him to be put to shame. (358)
During one of the adorations, Jesus promised me that: With souls that have recourse to My mercy and with those that glorify and proclaim My great mercy to others, I will deal according to My infinite mercy at the hour of their death.
My Heart is sorrowful, Jesus said, because even chosen souls do not understand the greatness of My mercy. Their relationship [with Me] is, in certain ways, imbued with mistrust. Oh, how much that wounds My Heart! Remember My Passion, and if you do not believe My words, at least believe My wounds. (379)
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 8 - THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WORKING IN A SPECIAL WAY
Today Our Lady urges us to seek the Holy Spirit in prayer:
"Dear children, if only you knew how many graces God is giving you. You do not want to move ahead in these days when the Holy Spirit is working in a special way.
Your hearts are turned to earthly things and they preoccupy you. Turn your hearts to prayer and ask that the Holy Spirit be poured forth upon you (Weekly Message May 9, 1985).
The prophet Joel speaks of the Spirit poured out upon mankind:
Then afterward I will pour out my spirit of all flesh; your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female slaves, in those days, I will pour out my spirit. Joel 2:28-29
Reflection:
Rather than speak of God's Spirit, let us today pray to the Advocate as the Virgin recommends, using the following ""Daily Prayer to the Holy Spirit:
"Come Holy Spirit, fill my heart with your holy gifts. Let my weakness be penetrated with your strength this very day, that I may fulfill all my duties conscientiously, and that I may do what is right and just. Let my love be such that I may offend no one, nor hurt their feelings. May my generosity pardon any wrong done to me.
Assist me, O holy Spirit, in all my trials of life; enlighten me in your ways, advise me in my doubts, strengthen me in my weakness, help me in all my needs, protect me in temptations, and console me in afflictions. Graciously hear me, O Holy Spirit, and pour your light into my heart, my soul, and my mind. Help me to live a holy life and to grow in goodness and grace. Amen.
Application:
Focus your prayer today on the Holy Spirit, asking for the special graces only he can bestow.
Message to J.N.S.R. Jan. 18,2009
Jesus of Nazareth Lord and King
Jesus of Nazareth the Lord returning
Sunday January 18, 2009
JNSR: Sometime ago, over ten years ago, upon opening a fresh mussel shell, I found a pearl that had formed in it. Not a big one, but still I was impressed by its radiance. I admired it so much that I wanted to save it in a small box. After much research, I never could find it. So, this pearl was lost and I thought
I had lost even the recollection of it.
This morning, Sunday, January 18th 2009, upon awakening suddenly, I vividly remember the dream I had last night and I understood that through that dream, GOD spoke to me.
I don't usually remember any dream but, if I do, it is that the Lord speaks to me through this dream and wants me to remember it.
And then I can hear the parable "of the hidden treasure" of Matthew 13 (45 &46):
45- The Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant looking for pearls;
46- When he finds one of great value, he goes and sells everything he owns to buy it.
This night, nothing I had done during the day was resurfacing in this strange dream - but rather what had happened over ten years ago.
Here is that dream:
After searching my cupboards at length, I finally found that little pearl. I was overjoyed and amazed that I could recollect that episode of my life. I said upon waking up: "Why Lord do I recall that dream, that particular part of it? And this morning, why would I recall this so vividly? And feel such joy?"
And the Lord lets me gently search for a reason. And then the different events of the last few days
come to my mind, one after the other. I wept very much - this last month of December 2008 up to this day; we are now the 18th of January 2009. I relive the solitude of the Christmas days - when I was sick and alone, not even able to respond to my lady friend's invitation to go to Midnight Mass of the Holy Nativity, and the days that followed, sad and unchanging, always the same, between the four walls of my apartment - alone, and abandoned. And then I find out the betrayal of friends I counted on so very much...... Why Lord added to this solitude......
Already, I had started to write about the suffering that was mine from my childhood, looking at my wretched life, the writing paper that I was using, was wet with my tears, and testified of the sorrow brought back to me, as if I was living it all over again, the lack of love discovered in earnest, needing to explore all the pain up to its conclusion.......I was writing, writing, believing I could heal myself of that ceaseless sadness.
I was starting to pull myself down - entirely - and to make myself sick, which forced me to stop writing the book that was to complete the Work of Jesus - "The Testimony of GOD to His little children", really believing that even the Lord no longer wanted to speak to me.
Indeed, I could not live in the present; I was sinking more and more in the past....... only to find myself back in the present with more suffering, more betrayal, always this lack of love, and this overpowering solitude added to illness.
How could I doubt, even for a moment, that GOD could abandon His child in such difficult times? And here again is this dream of the pearl - the one for which one sells everything in order to buy it - comes at a time when no human hand (which you hope for) is extended to you.
"Yes, said Jesus - Have you not told Me: "YES, Lord, I will follow You, at the cost of all that Your Life is about"? YES, Lord.
JESUS: So, if I AM away for one moment, you do not find the courage to continue walking for others?
You were in My arms, and I let you weep, to teach you what I expect from you at this time.
The World thinks that it is all by itself, left alone, and gets into more and more stupidity. But in order to prove that it does not need GOD, it will find its strength, its reason for being, by killing life, by making fun of the poor and the vulnerable. This is how all the seven capital sins are quite current: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, anger, sloth: they are the principle of all other sins, and Humanity is sinking more and more.
If you waste your energy looking at your past and present sufferings, you cannot go forward to those who need you. Those values which you hold within yourself, you annihilate them and lose your orientation. I come to wake you up! This is no time to dwell in the past or even in this furtive present age.
This time is for preparing yourselves; current events, like the ancient prophecies, only have the credence that you allow them to have, especially today, for everything will depend on your actions.
Day after day, you will each decide on your own future, for yourselves, for society as well as for the Planet, where will be played your sensational destiny, and this all of you together.
As for those to whom I give My friendship, they have already been chosen to act in this way. It is useless to flee, for, with your Permission, inscribed in My Sacred Heart, I will catch you right away, as you can see for yourself. For the Pearl which is your GOD, you already bought it with those coins with the name " Suffering, the Gift of Oneself". You were weeping and not reminding yourself that to know Me and to follow Me, is your treasure right there, there is your treasure: GOD is within you.
This Pearl purchased at a great Price is yours, like Myself. I cannot separate Myself from him who has chosen Me. We are one already, and for all Eternity. And so, if your treasure is Me, you are all indeed precious to Me, as the apple of my eye, since, already we are but One: One brother, One father, One mother......for All.
And that is what you become for this New Earth that is arriving very soon.
Be prepared by preparing others, for late-comers will have to hurry to change, at the sound of the trumpet, which is My Voice, unless they wish to turn into those cold stones seen on the roadside, where they are forming the borders of that New City, where they are called the sons and daughters of GOD, in order to live in the Joy and Peace of GOD.
Jesus proclaims that the Holy Truth of the Almighty Father allows the flow in the minds and spirits of men and women, who are ready to become children of the Father, the necessary knowledge
making it possible for them to comprehend what is soon to happen. And the road, the program that GOD shows them, is described in detail in their spirit. They are already informed.
They are already beginning to accept to follow GOD in all those details of perfection that GOD demands, and will demand from each of those who have or will have chosen to come and live with the King of Kings in the DIVINE Kingdom of the Father, who invites all His children to become, like His Unique Son, sons of the King of the whole Universe. For GOD is the Universal King and you shall all be, you His children, sons of the King.
No, you are not dreaming, you are writing for Me, and if I woke you up, it was so that you also take your trumpet and proclaim everywhere that the world is soon to live the Wonders of GOD.
Jesus tells you and everyone:
"Come live with ME, Jesus, the Wonders of GOD".
My child, you must not lose one more minute for
Behold, I am coming. Amen.
Come Lord Jesus.
The strong Love of GOD is coming to awaken the dead to Life,
and to give Life to the dead. Amen.
Jesus the Beloved
of all the Living in GOD.
Amen.
JNSR: I beg you Jesus, continue on if You wish to tell us what You desire to come again.
JESUS: My only desire is all of you. I have bought you at the Price of My Blood.
That is why you are all Mine and I give you My Nature.
My Blood is My Life, My Cross you have already carried.
So, I AM coming for you for this New Life in Me.
In My Country, flows Life and LOVE,
That is My Sharing for everyone.
Be prepared. Amen.
This is why you must all forgive one another,
because I AM Forgiveness,
in your Holy Transfiguration of Divine LOVE. Amen.
Jesus is coming back. Amen.

MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,
IT IS THE DAY OF THE LORD AND YOU COME TO PRAY WITH GENEROUS HEARTS FILLED WITH LOVE FOR JESUS AND FOR ME. ONCE MORE I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT YOU KEEP THIS DAY HOLY.
MY LITTLE CHILDREN, YOU WILL ENTER NOW YOUR LAST WEEK OF LENT. IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY FOR YOU, YET YOU PERSEVERE. THESE NEXT DAYS OF HOLY WEEK WILL BRING TEARS TO YOUR SOULS AS YOU ACCOMPANY MY SON TO HIS CRUCIFIXION, BUT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF HIS RESURRECTION AND THIS SHALL GIVE YOU HOPE IN A TIME OF CHAOS AND GODLESSNESS.
FIX YOURSELVES ON THE HEART OF JESUS, SO OPEN TO ALL. COME TO HIM WITH TRUST AND TRUE LOVE. YOU CARRY THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH MUST PREVAIL. YOU MY LOVES SHALL CARRY IT INTO THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH.
YOU DEAR CHILDREN SEE THE WEAKNESS OF MANY OF YOUR SHEPHERDS. YOUR HEARTS ARE CRUSHED BY SUCH LACK OF STRENGTH. THE WEAK SHALL BE MADE STRONG, BUT PRIDE MUST BE ABOLISHED AND THE HEART MUST BE OPEN. PRAY MY CHILDREN WITH TRUE SINCERITY BECAUSE THIS WEEK SHALL FALL HARD UPON THOSE SHEPHERDS WHO DENY THEIR FLOCKS AND ENCOURAGE LACK OF REVERENCE AND WEAKNESS.
YOU HAVE WELCOMED TWO THAT I LOVE AND I ALSO WELCOME THEM. I SAY TO YOU MY LITTLE PRIEST-SON HELP THOSE ENTRUSTED TO YOU. BE FOR THEM CHRIST-LIKE LEADING THEM TO THE FULLEST RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST. LITTLE BROTHER, WALK WITH CONFIDENCE IN A WORLD THAT GOES AGAINST YOU. SEEK WHAT IS IN YOUR HEART AND LAY TO REST ALL ELSE.
WITH TENDERNESS AND DEEP LOVE I GIVE MY MATERNAL BLESSING, DOING SO IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. I INVITE MY LITTLE PRIEST-SON TO GIVE TO YOU THE BLESSING OF CHRIST, WHICH CAN COME ONLY FROM THE HEART OF THE PRIEST, AND THEN MAY YOU ALL PRAISE AND THANK GOD - NOW AND FOREVER.

Volume I Lesson # 1
September 20, 1988
THE SORROWFUL MYSTERIES
My child, I would like you to start being and living the holiness of Me---not only in your actions, but in your daily thoughts and feelings. Do not be holy on the surface. Be holy within and throughout your entire body. Be Me!
(Jesus talked to me before each Sorrowful Mystery, beginning with the 2nd mystery.)
2ND MYSTERY (The Scourging at the Pillar)
The pain of My scourging was not in the scourge itself, but in who was doing the scourging. That pain still exists. I always comforted; but when that time came for the Lord God to be comforted, My loved ones could not becausethey were afraid. Yes, fear, like in today's world! People live in fear. Where is the trust in the Lord, in God's comfort?
3RD MYSTERY (The Crowning of Thorns)
Then I accepted My thorns for the sake of My peoples' fear and forgiveness of their sins, but My people could not accept this. That is the sorrow!
4TH MYSTERY (The Carrying of the Cross)
Then I carried My Cross for My people. But My people will not carry their crosses for Me. How weak in faith you are! You all want someone else to carry your cross, and you want eternal life too. I say to you: "Carry your own cross and carry your brother's, and then come into My Kingdom!"
5TH MYSTERY (The Crucifixion and Death on the Cross)
My people could not stop at the mockery of Me, but continued with the mockery of My mother, who cried for you at the foot of My Cross and who is still crying for you. She lived My sorrow and is still living it. Feel the pain she feels!

WORTHINESS
My child, I speak to My people, not because of their holiness or worthiness, but because of My holiness and worthiness!
It is written in Scripture that the Son of Man shall save His people through His Blood, and that His people shall be redeemed in Him.
Know that I come to My people and speak to them to fulfill the proclamation as it is written. I am the Son of God, Your Lord Jesus Christ, fulfilling the worthiness given to Me from My Father. I am your Lord God, here to save you through My holiness!
I am here because of My worthiness in the Father, not because of your worthiness. It is through My Blood that I am consecrated to you and you to Me. The Crucifixion was your redemption. I wish to make it known to My people that I am here because it is written, in fulfillment of Scripture, that the Son of Man comes because of His holiness, and not because of your worthiness.
Therefore, humble yourselves unto Me. Humbly accept My love and My teachings. Through them, you shall be able to humble yourselves to My Father, your Father of Mercy.
Know this is true. All shall be fulfilled in accordance to the Word of God.

Volume IV Lesson #6
St. Maria Goretti Church in front of Blessed Sacrament
10/27/91
THE ONLY JUDGE
My dear child, never fear of My punishment. Fear of losing Me is the loss men risk when they denounce Me and do not desire the gifts of life.
I am here always with you because of My Love. The choice is for all My people. They decide which path to walk instead of surrendering to Me to guide them on the right path, separate from the ones they are taking.
Man looks for support of his journey and acceptance from other men. Words move them. They either boost them in pride or offend them through insult and shame. Those who know the Kingdom, know that words of God and trust are the true ways. Those who trust in Me are not moved by the offenses of man's words. Those who are guilty mend their ways! Those who are innocent accept the offenses against them with offer¬ing to God. They are not moved for acceptance of man and acceptance of words pleasing to them, because they know it is I Who sees the ways of those who are guilty and the ways of those who are innocent!
It is I Who am the judge. I make judgment, not man. When man attempts to place judgment falsely on those who are in¬nocent, I am the One Who rectifies in the Kingdom the only one and true judgment.
I know the deepest incentives of each man's heart, the doers and the receivers! I even secretly place pretrial judg¬ment to test the trust of My people and to see the depth of the commitment and devotion they claim to profess.
Today, My Lesson is to tell My people that I am He Who places judgment. Do not allow the words of man to harm you. Trust in Me and in My words, and My judgment shall find you free! If you are knowingly guilty, change your ways by rectifying your behavior to reflect the goodness of God, by being faithful to My commandments.
Those who are innocent know that I am the judge, not man. Offer in sacrifice your crucifixion, and be at peace. The grace of your trust has blessed you with the Kingdom of Peace. I shall come to your aid and be by your side at all times.
Bless you, My dear one, as I look to the heavens of wor¬ship and I proclaim to you the goodness of God's Love. Peace comes in trusting and adoring. It is a grace. Peace finds you. You do not find peace!
Adore Me in purity without consolation, and you will be free always. No man can give you the freedom that I give. Hope always in Me and not the message! Know your state of being will proclaim My goodness, and it does not matter what you do daily to grant you happiness. If you trust in Me, you will have the peace I merit you. Words will not sway you, but you will be grounded firmly in the soil, and your fruits bountiful. Peace.

SOLITUDE
My dear one, the soul is in so much need of solitude, a time to search self and live in the silence of the Truth. Retreat inwardly to find the source of this grace. It is only through prayer that this grace is granted. How loud the whisper of the wind becomes, echoing and breathing life. So is My Spirit! It is good to reflect on your state, facing all imperfections with no place to hide. This is where union begins, knowing you are nothing and experiencing, by the purification of desolation and nothingness, that you can be¬come everything in Me.
When the soul thirsts for Life, because it is stripped of sen¬sory and spiritual life, is when it has the graces of union and gives glory to the Father. God makes His union with you. Seek to find God through the praises of spiritual prayers. Depriva¬tion of the spirit from worldly attachments will come to all who are joined in union with Me. The sinfulness of human attachments to the world through the senses and spirit must be stripped, purified and made whole, if union is to exist, and for God to find His resting place within.
See the beauty in the simplest of God's creation. Be in union with the serenity of the earth as the forests draw their life from the richness of the soil, where God has planted the seed. Each tree in the forest is different, but all yield to tranquil beauty which the birds echo in their chants. Listen. Listen to silence. See the richness through solitude.
I love you, My little one. I love all My people, as I love you. Experience this Love and see My Love in all. The saints before you gave alms of offerings and penance, and their main message is still the one I preach to you today: to love; to give to Me; to give to one another, that those who are hungry and poor may live in union. The richness of the earth was created for all, so that no one should go without. Why, then, are so many without?
Give, and more shall be given to you. Never be afraid to come and be alone with Me! This silence of union is essential for the life of the soul. Even though your life of ministry be active, silence and solitude is vital and is possible. It is the backbone to any life of ministry. You must first face yourself in order to face others. You must first live in union with God before you can love others, or your life of ministry will only be short-lived. Before you can go out to others, you must first allow Me to come to you and find My resting place through your own crucifixion and purification in solitude.
Now let us pray together here and listen to this silence. Blessings and Peace as My Spirit of the wind breathes for your soul. Ad Deum, My love. Ad Deum.
