FOR THE LITURGICAL CHURCH MEMBERS ONLY (AND OTHERS WHO BELIEVE. TEST! DISCERN THE SPIRIT! )

From Jo Ann Riggio, RN I Extend the Baptism of Truth to you. Please accept it and pass it on.

Dear friends and family,

I extend the Baptism of Truth to you with all of my heart and love. Please accept it. Let me expain:

Sept 14-16, 09 I went on a pilgrimage to Holy Love, Maranantha Springs in Elyria Ohio. I have been there many times before. (www.holylove.org) It is an Ecumenical apparition site where Our Lady appears to a visionary as well as Jesus and some of the saints.

During the apparition, Our Lady invited those present to accept the Baptism of Truth, which I did as I was present on the United Hearts Field at the time. An angel was given to those who accepted this Baptism of Truth to guard the Truth in their hearts. Therefore, I believe I received one.

The other day , I received messages from Holy Love regarding the Baptism of Truth via their website. There are two messages for September 18, 2009. (www.holylove.org). In the first message, Our Lady says, "Those who were here present can now extend this Baptism of Truth to others simply by desiring to do so in their own heart. It can be multiplied and proliferated by all who recieve it." .......

The second message is from Jesus, He says , " ....I want to help you understand that the Baptism of Truth which you received in the field of the United Hearts on the Feast of My Mother's Sorrows, can change the heart of the world if proliferated with zeal. Do so then with Holy Love in your hearts."....
So my dear friends and family, I , with love in my heart and all the zeal within me extend this Baptism of Truth to you. Please accept it and pass it on to those you know and love and ask them to do the same. Together, with Jesus and Mary, let us all change the heart of the world! AMEN!

With all my love,

Jo Ann Riggio, RN

PS: Please go to the website (www.holylove.org) for the complete messages of September 18, 2009. May you be blessed abundantly.

Blessed Mother says: "Praise be to Jesus."

"In this country, truth has become so compromised that people do not know truth from fiction. That is why I extended to everyone the Baptism of Truth on My Feast of Sorrows. Those who were here present* can now extend this Baptism of Truth to others by simply desiring to do so in their own heart. It can be multiplied and proliferated by all who receive it. The angels given to My children in the Field of the United Hearts on the night of the apparition will not be multiplied with each Baptism of Truth, but will continually guard the truth in the hearts of those who had received angels at the apparition that night."

"You will make this known."

* Blessed Mother is referring to those pilgrims present in the United Hearts Field at the time of Her apparition.

METAPHYSICAL PROPOSAL ON THE MODE OF USING HAWTHORN

FOR THE COMING PLAGUES…HAWTHORN

(QUESTION FOR DISCERNMENT- Is this swine flu ? H1n1? Sars? Bird flu? You do the prayerful research!)

As given by our BLESSED MOTHER MARYAM, August 5, 1880:
"There will be a grave illness which human science will not be able to
alleviate. This illness will attack firstly the heart, then the spirit, and at
the same time, the tongue. It will be horrible.

The heat accompanying it will be a devouring fire insupportable and so intense that the members of the body affected will be red -- an unendurable fiery red. At the end of seven days this
disease, sown like a seed in the field (incubation period) will spread
everywhere rapidly and make great progress."

"My children, here is the ONLY remedy which could save you. You are familiar with the Hawthorn which grows practically in all hedges.

The leaves of the Hawthorn, not the wood, can arrest the progress of this disease."

"You will gather the leaves, not the wood. Even dry, they will keep their efficacy.

You will put them into boiling water and leave them there for 14 minutes, covering the receptacle so that the steam remains therein.

At the onset of this disease, one must use this remedy three times a day."

"This disease will produce a continual vomiting and nausea. If the remedy is taken too late, the part of the body affected will become black and in the black there will be seen a sort of pale, yellow streak."

NO ONE HAS TO BELIEVE ANYTHING! TEST. DISCERN THE SPIRIT!

A SLIGHT CHANGE FOR CHILDREN- 8 MINUTES)

Note: It is a tradition that the Hawthorn was the plant from which Pilate’s Roman soldiers wove the CROWN OF THORNS.

Daily Consecration to the Eternal Father

For the greater glory of God and for the salvation of all, I consecrate myself to You, O' Eternal Father, as one of Your faithful remnant. Behold, I come to do Your Will. With the help of Your Grace, I will keep Your Commandments. I will love and reverence You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. I will love my neighbor as You love me.

I make this Consecration through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Your beloved Son, Jesus.

O' Eternal Father, send forth Your Holy Spirit to restore my/our broken image and likeness of You. Send forth also Your entire Heavenly Court, all the celestial choirs of Your angels and all Your Saints, to aid me/us in my/our struggle against all the forces of evil in this present darkness. Amen. (Adapted from the Father of All Mankind Apostolate).

The Lord's Prayer

How many of us have said the “Our Father” with so little thought, so little reverence, and so little fruitfulness? However, when we are open to the Holy Spirit within us and pray from the heart, look at what can happen:"

Our Father, (“Our” Father—not “My” Father - all of God’s children of all races, all colors & all creeds)

Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)

Who art in Heaven, (and Who art in me)

Hallowed be Thy Name. (Holy be Thy Name, praised be Thy Name, thanks be to Thy Most Holy Name)

Thy Kingdom come. (now - on earth and in me)

Thy Will be done, (now - on earth and in me)

on earth as it is in Heaven. (at the Throne of God, with the Trinity, Our Lady and all the Angels and Saints)

Give us this day our daily bread. (the Bread of your Divine Will, the Bread of Life in the Eucharist, and the bread we need to eat to sustain our bodies)

And forgive us our trespasses(forgive us our sins, our imperfections and our hesitancies in the face of temptation)

As we forgive those (or as we choose not to forgive those) who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,(for we are weak, we are worthless, we are wretched & we are nothing)

But deliver us from evil.(for it is only through your grace, not by our works alonenor our merit that we can escape eternal damnation)

Amen. (So I hope. So be it).

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa

Holy Mary, Mother of God, Protectress of Africa, you have given to the world the true Light, Jesus Christ. Through your obedience to the Father and the grace of the Holy Spirit, you have given us the source of our reconciliation and our justice, Jesus Christ, our peace and our joy.

Mother of Tenderness and Wisdom, show us Jesus, your Son and the Son of God. Guide our path of conversion, so that Jesus might shine his glory on us in every aspect of our personal, familial and social lives.

Mother, full of Mercy and Justice, through your docility to the Spirit, the Counselor, obtain for us the grace to be witnesses of the Risen Lord, so that we will increasingly become the salt of the earth and the light of the world.

Mother of Perpetual Help, we entrust to your maternal intercession the preparation and fruits of the Second Special Assembly for Africa. Queen of Peace, pray for us! Our Lady of Africa, pray for us!

PROPHECY MEDITATIONS TODAY

Test! Discern The Spirit! Accept what speaks to YOUR SOUL/SPIRIT. Disregard the rest!

from such as Seers, OLOE, ERA OF PEACE, J.Leary, and Fr. Doucette, Anne Hidden Lay Apostle, Sharon Fitzpatrick, Lousie Tomkiel, Carol Ameche, and others.
Fair use, educational and religious purposes, 17 U.S.C. for those in the African Historic and Geologic Diaspora who would otherwise not be exposed to such,

On the first of every month, Our Lord gives Anne a new message about His call to service.

November 1, 2009

Jesus

My dearest apostle, how pleased I am with your efforts. Shall I tell you all that pleases Me? I am pleased that you accept My words and welcome them into your heart. I am pleased because as you welcome My words into your heart, you welcome My graces into your life.

Many come and go in My service. But you do not do this. You remain in My service. It will take eternity for Me to show you My gratitude. When I say service, you no doubt think practically. You think of work, of heaven’s work, which includes the tasks that you complete for Me and for others in My name.

This is good. I so badly need those who are willing to work for Me. But when I say service, I want you to also think of love. You see, we need bridges built that will transport God’s children safely into My heart.

But the invitation to cross the bridge from isolation to the love of God will be extended through your love, through My presence in your heart. My love will flow out from you to others and they will find out that the wounds they suffer are vulnerable to love. Wounds melt away when they are exposed to love.

Love, rooted in Me, is always selfless. It is quiet rather than boisterous. It waits patiently, willing to accept suffering for the greater good of the soul in front of it.

The greater good will always be reconciliation with Me but this reconciliation between the Creator and the created is deeply personal and takes place in the privacy of the soul. Dearest children of God, you have been chosen to accept My love and to use that love to draw others back to Me.

I am watching closely as you struggle for greater holiness. I am watching closely as you advance. I am with you in your own suffering and I allow loneliness for every serving apostle because it is only through this loneliness that you understand how badly you need Me.

Your loneliness then becomes a heavenly port in a storm of activity through which you draw graces down into the world. You see that you suffer. When you return to Me forever, you will see that your suffering, accepted in My name, advanced not only My intentions, but yours. Be at peace, little apostle. I am involved in all that occurs in your life. I am with you. I will not leave you.

Message to Mirjana - November 2, 2009

Our Lady appeared to the Medjugorje visionary Mirjana Soldo this morning and gave the following message:

"Dear children! Also today I am among you to point you to the way that will help you to come to know God's love, the love of God Who permitted you to call Him Father and to perceive Him as Father. I ask of you to sincerely look into your hearts and to see how much you love Him.

Is He the last to be loved? Surrounded by material goods, how many times have you betrayed, denied and forgotten Him? My children, do not deceive yourselves with worldly goods.

Think of your soul because it is more important than the body, cleanse it. Invoke the Father, He is waiting for you. Come back to Him. I am with you because He, in His mercy, sends me. Thank you."

Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 03 - ST. MARTIN DE PORRES

"Oh, what a heaven the Saints found on earth in their ardent devotion to the
Most Blessed Sacrament! They indeed experienced that to none is Jesus so
lavish of His sensible graces as to those who have a fervent devotion to the
Blessed Sacrament.

What sighs of love, what sweet tears and raptures, what floods
of delight and consolation overwhelmed their souls when they celebrated or
approached the Sacred Mysteries! . . . Oh, let us, too, foster a tender devotion
to the Holy Eucharist; let us, too, seek this "Heaven on earth," in which the
Saints found such supreme delight"
(The Blessed Sacrament: God With Us).

Mother Teresa -
In silence we will find new energy and true unity. The energy of God will be ours to do all things well, and so will the unity of our thoughts with His thoughts, the unity of our prayers with His prayers, the unity of our actions with His actions, of our life with His life.
All our words will be useless unless they come from within.

Meditations by Padre Pio -
One day a spiritual son asked him: Father, how can I increase my love?

Reply: by doing your duty with exactitude and upright intentions and observing the law of the Lord. If you do this with constancy and perseverance, your love will grow.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
God must be the source of the humble and show it through their resources
"Before undertaking a task great or small, before making decisions, before beginning a journey, the humble will acknowledge their dependence on God and will invoke His guidance and His blessing on all their enterprises.

Even though they be placed above others by vocation, or by the will of the people, they will never cease to recognize that God has made of one blood all the nations that dwell on the earth. If they are very rich they will not be `defenders of the rights of the poor' without unloading their riches in their aid."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Here are a few words from a conversation I had with the Mother Directress [Mary Joseph] toward the end of my novitiate: "Sister, let simplicity and humility be the characteristic traits of your soul. Go through life like a little child, always trusting, always full of simplicity and humility, content with everything, happy in every circumstance.

There, where others fear, you will pass calmly along, thanks to this simplicity and humility. Remember this, Sister, for your whole life: as waters flow from the mountains down into the valleys, so, too, do God's graces flow only into humble souls." (55)

Humiliation is my daily food. I understand that the bride must herself share in everything that is the groom's; and so His cloak of mockery must cover me, too. At those times when I suffer much, I try to remain silent, as I do not trust my tongue which, at such moments, is inclined to talk for itself, while its duty is to help me praise God for all the blessings and gifts which He has given me.

When I receive Jesus in Holy Communion, I ask Him fervently to deign to heal my tongue so that I would offend neither God nor neighbor by it. I want my tongue to praise God without cease. Great are the faults committed by the tongue. The soul will not attain sanctity if it does not keep watch over its tongue. (92)

Quote of the Day However great the work that God may achieve by an individual, he must not indulge in self-satisfaction. He ought rather to be all the more humbled, seeing himself merely as a tool which God has made use of. -St. Vincent de Paul

Today's Tidbit St. Pirminius, mentioned in today's historical fact is important because one of his writings, book entitled "Scarapsus," is the earliest known writing to contain the Apostles' Creed as it is worded in its present form.

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.

- Nov 3 - ST. MARTIN DE PORRES

The life of St. Martin de Porres was characterized by two great virtues : love of neighbor and service to the poor. In the following two messages, Our Lady speaks of both :

Dear children, during these days people from every nation will be coming into the parish. And so I now call you to love. First of all, love the members of your own family and in this way you will be capable of accepting and loving all who come here (Weekly Message June 6, 1985).

Dear children, tonight I call you to pray for all the poor and hungry people throughout the world. I especially thank you because you have helped me to fulfill my plans (Visionary Prayer Group September 12, 1988).

And from the Beatitudes :

Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled.

Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

---Luke 6 :20-21

Reflection:

St. Martin, patron of the poor, was born in Peru in 1579, the son of a Spanish knight and a Negro mother. During his youth he was apprenticed to a barber-surgeon and became very knowledgeable of medicines and herbs, which he later used in his car for the poor.

He became a lay brother of the Dominican Order and is most remembered for his care of the slaves who were brought to Peru from Africa. He once said, " I wish to be the slave of the slaves who were brought to Peru from Africa.

He once said, " I wish to be the slaves of God. " Upon his death in 1639, he was carried to his grave by bishops and noblemen. He is also, appropriately, the patron of social justice.

At his canonization in 1962, Pope John XXIII said to him :

Saint Martin, always obedient and inspired by his divine Teacher, dealt with his brothers with that profound love which comes from our faith and humility of service. He loved men because he honestly looked upon them as God's children and as his own brothers and sisters.

Application :

Today, let us put into practice Our Lady's message : "I call you to pray for all the poor and hungry people throughout the world. "

Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 02 - ALL SOULS DAY

"The devotion to the Eucharist, together with the devotion to the Blessed Mother, is the devotion of Paradise, because it is the devotion which the Angels and Saints of Heaven also have" (Jesus, Our Eucharistic Love, Fr. Stephano Manelli, O. F. M.).

Mother Teresa -
If we really mean to pray and want to pray we must be ready to do it now. This is only the first step towards prayer, but if we never make the first step with determination, we will not reach the last one: the presence of God.

Meditations by Padre Pio - My children, to remain like this, unable to do my duty, is useless, it is better that I die!

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Blessed are the merciful!

"Humility as it relates to others is a golden mean between blind reverence on the one hand and an overbearing insolence on the other. Humble people are not rigid exacters of things to which they have no undoubted right; they are always ready to overlook faults of others knowing that they have so many themselves.

Neither are they greatly provoked at those slights which put vain persons out of patience, knowing that as we show mercy to others so shall we receive mercy from God."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Spiritual Counsel Given Me
by Father Andrasz, S.J.

First: You must not turn away from these interior inspirations, but always tell everything to your confessor. If you recognize that these interior inspirations refer to your own self; that is to say, they are for the good of your soul or for the good of other souls, I urge you to follow them; and you must not neglect them, but always do so in consultation with your confessor.

Second: If these inspirations are not in accord with the faith or the spirit of the Church, they must be rejected immediately as coming from the evil spirit.

Third: If these inspirations do not refer to souls, in general, nor specifically to their good, you should not take them too seriously, and it would be better to even ignore them.

But you should not make this decision by yourself, either one way or the other, as you can easily be led astray despite these great favors from God. Humility, humility, and ever humility, as we can do nothing of ourselves; all is purely and simply God's grace.

You say to me that God demands great trust from souls; well then, you be the first to show this trust. And one more word-accept all this with serenity. (55)

Nov 2 Feast of the Day Today is the feast of All Souls, this is the day set aside out of the year for us to pray for the souls of all who have died, especially the souls in purgatory waiting for the joys of heaven.

This feast has biblical origins, for example, in the Second Book of Maccabees, "Judas made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin, and it has historical origins because from the beginning of the Church, the Faithful were encouraged to pray for all who had died.

A day set aside for prayer for all who had died began to be observed in the Middle ages. In the eleventh century, St. Odilo, Abbot of Cluny, decreed that the monks should set aside November 2 as a special day to pray for the dead in the Divine Office, and through special prayers.

The theological ideas for this feast day are based on the fact that very few of us achieve perfection in our lives on earth, so we must remove the scars of our sinfulness and imperfection before we come face-to-face with God. This day is set aside for the Church on earth to pray for those who have died and are still preparing to meet God face-to-face.

A more recent addition to this celebration happened in 1915 when Pope Benedict XV stated in an apostolic constitution that priests could celebrate three Masses on this day. The intention for the first Mass is for a particular intention of the priest, the intention of the second is for all the Faithful Departed, and the intention of the third is for the intentions of the Pope.

Let us help commemorate them. If Job's sons were purified by their father's sacrifice, why would we doubt that our offerings for the dead bring them some consolation? Let us not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for them -St. John Chrysostom

Intention of the Day Please pray for all the faithful departed

Nov 2 - ALL SOULS' DAY

In this message from 1986, Our Lady speaks of purgatory and our role in helping those who have gone before us :

Dear children, today I invite you to pray everyday for the souls in purgatory. Every soul need prayer and grace in order to reach God and his love. By this way, dear children, you will gain new intercessors, who will help you , than longing for heaven. For that, dear children, pray without respite, so that you may be able to help yourself and others, to whom your prayers will bring joy (Weekly Message Nov 6, 1986).

The Book of Revelation also speaks of life after death

Then I saw a great white throne and the one who sat on it; the earth and the heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, the book of life.

And the dead were judged according to their works, as recorded in the books. And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and all were judged according to what they had done (Rv 20 :11-13).

Reflection:

Especially on All Souls' Day, the church calls us to remember and pray for the souls in purgatory, including our loved ones who have gone before us.

The church's doctrine of purgatory is too often misunderstood. It is not a place where the residue of sin is remitted through suffering; it is rather a process in which we are perfected until that point when we can unite in harmony with the fullness of love and life, which is God. Just as oil and water cannot mix, so too we must resemble the Spirit of God, free from sin, before entering into his life a state called heaven.

This process is veiled in mystery, but it is without doubt a benevolent concept, a gift from God who allows us, the living, to help those who have already died :

" For every soul, " Our Lady says, " prayer and grace are necessary to reach God and the love of God. "

Further, those whom we have helped to obtain paradise will in turn help us : " You obtain new intercessors, " Mary says, " who will help you in this life to realize that earthly things are not important, that it is necessary to strive only for heaven.

"Application:

All Souls' Day is an appropriate time to arrange for masses to be offered for the dead, which the Blessed

Mother recommends. Your parish office can inform you of the procedure and suggested offering. Mary also asks us to pray for the forgotten dead and those in most need of God's mercy, to whom, Our Lady says, "your prayers will bring great joy. "

Eve of All Saints Day

"The saints experienced in this world such pleasure in remaining in the presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, that days and nights appeared to them as moments" (St. Alphonsus Liguori).

"Jesus is the only source of true peace. There cannot be hope of real peace in the world apart from Christ . . . How does Christ bring about this peace?
He earned it by His Sacrifice. He gave His life to bring reconciliation between God and man . . .

This sacrifice which draws the human family to unity is made present in the Eucharist. Thus, each Eucharistic celebration is the
source of a new gift of peace . . . The gift that Christ made of Himself is more powerful than all the force of division that oppress the world" (Pope John Paul II, Eucharistic Congress, March 11, l988)

"How I hate this folly of not believing in the Eucharist, etc.! If the gospel be true, if Jesus Christ be God, what difficulty is there?" (Pascal).

Mother Teresa -
Prayer, to be fruitful, must come from the heart.

Meditations by Padre Pio - My children, to remain like this, unable to do my duty, is useless, it is better that I die!

Archbishop Fulton Sheen

No one is better than the next!

"The psychological reason for the modern fondness for news which deflates others or brings out the evil in their lives, is to solace uneasy consciences which are already laden with guilt. By finding others who apparently are more evil than we, we falsely believe that we are somehow better `than the rest of men' (Luke 18: 11)."

Spiritual Counsel Given Me
by Father Andrasz, S.J.

First: You must not turn away from these interior inspirations, but always tell everything to your confessor. If you recognize that these interior inspirations refer to your own self; that is to say, they are for the good of your soul or for the good of other souls, I urge you to follow them; and you must not neglect them, but always do so in consultation with your confessor.

Second: If these inspirations are not in accord with the faith or the spirit of the Church, they must be rejected immediately as coming from the evil spirit.

Third: If these inspirations do not refer to souls, in general, nor specifically to their good, you should not take them too seriously, and it would be better to even ignore them.

But you should not make this decision by yourself, either one way or the other, as you can easily be led astray despite these great favors from God. Humility, humility, and ever humility, as we can do nothing of ourselves; all is purely and simply God's grace.

You say to me that God demands great trust from souls; well then, you be the first to show this trust. And one more word-accept all this with serenity. (55)

Nov 1 Feast of the Day Information taken from the Catholic Encyclopedia

The Solemnity celebrated on the first of November is instituted to honor all the saints, known and unknown, and, according to Urban IV, to supply any deficiencies in the faithful's celebration of saints' feasts during the year. In the early days the Christians were accustomed to solemnize the anniversary of a martyr's death for Christ at the place of martyrdom. In the fourth century, neighboring dioceses began to interchange feasts, to transfer relics, to divide them, and to join in a common feast; as is shown by the invitation of St. Basil of Caesarea (397) to the bishops of the province of Pontus.

Frequently groups of martyrs suffered on the same day, which naturally led to a joint commemoration. In the persecution of Diocletian the number of martyrs became so great that a separate day could not be assigned to each. But the Church, feeling that every martyr should be venerated, appointed a common day for all.

The first trace of this we find in Antioch on the Sunday after Pentecost. We also find mention of a common day in a sermon of St. Ephrem the Syrian (373), and in the 74th homily of St. John Chrysostom (407).

At first only martyrs and St. John the Baptist were honoured by a special day. Other saints were added gradually, and increased in number when a regular process of canonization was established; still, as early as 411 there is in the Chaldean Calendar a "Commemoratio Confessorum" for the Friday after Easter.

In the West Boniface IV, May, 13 609, or 610, consecrated the Pantheon in Rome to the Blessed Virgin and all the martyrs, ordering an anniversary. Gregory III (731-741) consecrated a chapel in the basilica of St. Peter to all the saints and fixed the anniversary for November 1. A basilica of the Apostles already existed in Rome, and its dedication was annually remembered on May 1. Gregory IV (827-844) extended the celebration on 1 November to the entire Church. The vigil seems to have been held as early as the feast itself. The octave was added by Sixtus IV (1471-84).

That man is truly humble who converts humiliation into humility. -St. Bernard

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 31 - YOU WILL DISCOVER A NEW PATH TO JOY

"Mary, the paramount adorer of the most High God, together with the angels and saints, sings his praises perpetually. And to promote within the Church Militant a matching devotion [perpetual adoration] towards him present in the Blessed Sacrament is Mary's very special wish and intention" (Mary and The Eucharist, Fr. Richard Foley, S.J.).

Mother Teresa -
I Thirst: "On the Cross Jesus said: `I thirst.' From the Blessed Sacrament Jesus continues to say to each of us: `I thirst.' He thirsts for our personal love, our intimacy, our union with Him in the Blessed Sacrament. His longing for us to be with Him in the Blessed Sacrament is infinitely greater than our longing to be with Him."

Meditations by Padre Pio - Patience is more perfect when it is less mixed up with worries and disturbances. If the good God wants to prolong the time of trial, do not complain or try to investigate the reason, but remember the following: That the children of Israel traveled for forty years in the desert before setting foot in the Promised Land.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Truth is like a precious metal

Truth is like the veins of metal in the earth; it is often very thin and runs not in a continuous layer. If we lose it once, we may have to dig for miles to find it again."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -

God, You could have saved thousands of worlds with one word; a single sigh from Jesus would have satisfied Your justice. But You Yourself, Jesus, purely out of love for us, underwent such a terrible Passion. Your Father's justice would have been propitiated with a single sigh from You, and all Your self-abasement is solely the work of Your mercy and Your inconceivable love. On leaving the earth, O Lord, You wanted to stay with us, and so You left us Yourself in the Sacrament of the Altar, and You opened wide Your mercy to us.

There is no misery that could exhaust You; You have called us all to this fountain of love, to this spring of God's compassion. Here is the tabernacle of Your mercy, here is the remedy for all our ills. To You, O living spring of mercy, all souls are drawn; some like deer, thirsting for Your love, others to wash the wound of their sins, and still others, exhausted by life, to draw strength. At the moment of Your death on the Cross,

You bestowed upon us eternal life; allowing Your most holy side to be opened, You opened an inexhaustible spring of mercy for us, giving us Your dearest possession, the Blood and Water from Your Heart. Such is the omnipotence of Your mercy. From it all grace flows to us. (1747)

The most solemn moment of my life is the moment when I receive Holy Communion. I long for each Holy Communion, and for every Holy Communion I give thanks to the Most Holy Trinity.

If the angels were capable of envy, they would envy us for two things: one is the receiving of Holy Communion, and the other is suffering. (1804)

“We often say that we are nothing. But we would be very sorry if anyone should take us at our word. We pretend to retire and hide ourselves, so that the world may run after us and seek us out. True humility does not make a show of herself or use many humble words; for she desires not only to conceal all other virtues, but most of all to conceal herself.” -St. Francis de Sales

Oct 31 - YOU WILL DISCOVER A NEW PATH TO JOY

In this message the Blessed Virgin shows the way to happiness :

Dear children, today I wish to gather you under my mantle and lead you along the way to conversion. I beseech you, dear children, to surrender all of your past to the Lord, as well as all the evil that has accumulated in your hearts.

I want each one of you to be happy, but happiness is not possible in sin. Therefore, dear children, I ask you to pray, for in prayer you will discover a new path to joy. Joy will shine forth from your hearts and thus you will be joyful witnesses of what my Son and I wish to accomplish in each of you. I bless you! (Monthly Message February 25, 1987).

And in John's gospel, Christ wishes to give all of us his joy :

As my Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete (Jn 15 :9-11).

Reflection:

People have searched for happiness in many ways, often oblivious to the fact that it can only truly be found in the heart of God. One amusing story illustrates :

Application:

We often seek God in times of sorrow, but not so often when we are happy. Today offer a joyful prayer of thanksgiving for the Lord's many gifts.

Message To Carolyn Kwiecinski October 24, 2009

Blessed Virgin Mary given to Carolyn Kwiecinski - October 24, 2009

Dear Children, how I am pleased to be with you, to gather with you this day, to offer praise to the Father in Heaven, to worship the Son who came, Word Made Flesh, and dwelt among you, and to be one with the Holy Spirit who inspires you to live a life worthy of the Blood of Christ.

Dear ones, as your Mother, I grieve for the sorrow and the sickness and the sadness and the sin in this world. Many years I have spoken to you through the grace of God. I have come to you my little ones to lead you on a better road, the road that leads to Heaven.

My little ones, again this day as always, I beg you to embrace the love that Christ offers to you, the love that He gives to you, the love that you must share with one another.

My little ones, it is a time of darkness. Sin… sin is not the way to life. My little ones are lost and they cannot find their way to God. You, my little children, must embrace the Gospel message and live with the fullness of your being the love of God. You must be obedient, my children, to His law for if you keep His commands you will know joy. You must love one another with sacrificial love. You must teach one another through your humility, in your littleness.

My little ones, I do not call you to accomplish great things in this world, to go out and win many converts, to go and to baptize the world, but rather in each day in the place where God has put you, to witness to those who need to see the love of Christ in you. It is only in this way, my little ones, that you, my lights in this world, the light of God, might shine more brightly and fill the world with the illumination of the Holy Spirit.

My little children, long I have come to you. Again and again I come as mother and will come so long as God permits me. And yet I say to you, many have heard my voice but few few, my little ones, have loved my Son as He must be loved.

Therefore, my little children, go before Him always in His Eucharistic Self and worship and adore Him. Offer to Him every praise and make reparation for the grave injustices committed against Him.

My little ones, in this way also, I do not ask for great deeds, only the simple gift of your contrite and love-filled hearts. Give yourselves completely to God, that He might do great things in you and that when you permit the Spirit to fill you,

He might do great things through you, that this world might no longer know sadness, grief, sin, sorrow, and death, but might be resurrected into a new glory, the glory that exists through, with, and in our Father in heaven, only because of His love, only because of His justice, only because of His mercy.

My little ones, I commend you to the care of the Holy Spirit who guides the Church, guides the people of God, and will guide each of you each day in your life, as you are converted to my Son.

May the peace of Christ be with you today, and always.

“NOTE: There were nearly 100 persons present on Oct. 24, 2009 at the annual Heavenly Grace prayer meeting in Howell, MI, where Carolyn received this message. The notice about the prayer meeting was spread in small ways and all interested persons are always welcome.

This is the first time we have ever been able to obtain a copy quickly of the message from Mary through Carolyn over the Internet because her husband, Nick, was able to record it live on a digital recorder. In the coming weeks, he will be working to get most of the many previous messages converted to a digital format so they can also be available on-line. You can go to and check back for updates and how to access the messages at: www.heavenlygrace.org

Since this e-mail is going to some persons who are not familiar with Carolyn or the messages and inspirations God has given to the world through her, here is some background. Most of her monthly prayer meetings were held at St. Mary Church in Pinckney, Michigan, until the monthly messages ended in November 2004.

Starting on October 24, 2005, Carolyn began receiving an annual message from Mary at the Heavenly Grace prayer meeting which has been held in St. Joseph Parish, Howell, Michigan, on Oct. 24 each year, the wedding anniversary of Carolyn and Nick.

Three books are available containing Messages to Carolyn Kwiecinski. Fr. Bill Ashbaugh, her longtime Spiritual Director, former pastor at St. Joseph Parish in Howell (currently pastor of St. Thomas the Apostle in Ann Arbor, MI), wrote in the first volume: "Many of the misguided ideologies that were present last century have taken deep root in our modern world and continue to threaten humanity.... God has been pouring out special graces on the Church at this time to revive it. We call these graces charisms --- gifts of the Holy Spirit. They build up the Church in every age. These gifts need to be discerned and if truly from the Lord, need to be cultivated in the life of the Church.

A good seed in good soil will bear good fruit. For a number of years, a young woman named Carolyn (Belprez) Kwiecinski has been sharing with her prayer group the words that flow from her inner soul.... These gifts point us back to the public revelation of Jesus. I believe such a thing has happened to Carolyn....

Her messages [published in her three books] were given to a priest in the Diocese of Lansing who has been charged by the bishop to review books and materials for proper theological content. According to his best judgement, Carolyn's messages are free from theological error and are in harmony with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In evaluating the messages, there was no intention of making a judgement on the supernatural origins of Carolyn's experiences or her messages...." (For Fr. Ashbaugh's complete statement, please see volume one "Heavenly Grace" -2002)

Fr. Ken Coughlin, former pastor of St. Mary Church in Pinckney, MI (currently pastor of Church of the Holy Family in Grand Blanc, MI) wrote in the second volume: "God continues to pour out heavenly graces even today... I believe one of those ways is through a young lady, wife, and mother, named Carolyn Belprez Kwiecinski. Since December of 1996, the Holy Mother of God has spoken through Carolyn, giving messages to her prayer group. As this prayer group grew in number, it was moved into St. Mary Catholic Church with the permission of the Diocese of Lansing, with extreme caution. The bishop wanted to make sure that the messages were free from theological error and in harmony with Church doctrine.

As the pastor of St. Mary Parish, I have very carefully observed and listened to their content, and have not found any wrong doing. They are simple messages calling us to holiness and to the sacramental life of the Church....

I do want to say that I do not want to make any judgement on the supernatural origins of Carolyn's experiences or her messages. I remain obedient to the Magisterium and the wisdom of Holy Mother Church. The final decision on the messages' origins is in the hands of the Church hierarchy. Personally, however, these messages have had and continue to have an awesome impact on the lives of those in attendance....

The messages to the prayer group have been challenging and uplifting.... As Christians, sons and daughters of God, we are called to a more complete conversion and a richer and more personal relationship with Jesus...." (For Fr. Coughlin's complete statement, please see volume two "Standing in a Miracle" -2002)

Fr. Coughlin, in writing about Mary and the Heavenly Grace prayer group, wrote in the third volume: "I have had the privilege to hear her call these past seven years as the pastor of St. Mary Parish in Pinckney, Michigan through God's chosen instrument, Carolyn (Belprez) Kwiecinski. Being part of a prayer group that gathered on the fourth Tuesday of every month, God used this young lady to speak to His children which He loves so much.

Every month God permitted His holy mother to give to the prayer group, through Carolyn, messages from heaven. As I stated in the previous book..., I do not make any judgement on the supernatural origins of Carolyn's experiences or her messages....

However, I also stated that I have seen great fruits of holiness in my life and others through these wonderful messages...." (For Fr. Coughlin's complete statement, please see volume three "Loved for All Ages" -2005)

Like all private revelations, there is no requirement that anyone believe these messages. Belief is optional, but as theolgian Fr. Edward D. O'Connor says in his book, I am Sending You Prophets, "To cut off these graces until they have been officially approved by the Church is in effect to close oneself to them, because it is simply impossible for the Church to investigate them all; and the few that are investigated are seldom approved until long after they have taken place...

Even the prophecies of Scripture were not, at the moment they were given, approved by religious authorities... when the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary, or the Lord to St. Paul on the way to Damascus, the recipients had to judge on the spot whether this was from God. If they had postponed their response until the hierarchy gave its imprimatur, the grace of these messages would have been lost.... Prophecy is a permanent gift to the Church."

The messages Carolyn receives are in English so there is no loss of the message through a translation. The messages are received and delivered and recorded in real time, that is without waiting for them to be written down or remembered so they can later be given to all interested persons.

Carolyn allows the Holy Spirit to use her to speak what God wants people to know. The messages she receives are given directly through her to all who listen. They are spoken at the exact time they occur. She allows Heaven to speak using her voice, similar to what happens at many charismatic prayer meetings.

Anyone who listens to the messages as they are given or to the reproductions of the messages can notice the inflections, emotions, and other aspects of the messages, in addition to the words themselves. There is great love, as well as moving pauses, excitement, amazement, sadness and grief for sins committed in the world over how Jesus was and is treated.

Her mother, Mrs. Deb Walker, teaches theology at a Catholic High School and assists her in scheduling, and other matters.
Over the past 11 years or so, I have been able to attend almost every prayer meeting to record these messages for Heavenly Grace. I strongly recommend the messages Carolyn has received because, as I have found, they can really help you to live the Gospels.

Sincerely in Christ,

John Beutler
Marian Peace Center of Lansing”
