Peter's Speech at Pentecost (2)
Dear Friends,
Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed to them, "... You who are Israelites, hear these words. Jesus the Nazorean was a man commended to you by God with mighty deeds, wonders, and signs, which God worked through him in your midst, as you yourselves know. This man, delivered up by the set plan and foreknowledge of God, you killed, using lawless men to crucify him. But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it. For David says of him: 'I saw the Lord ever before me, with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed. Therefore my heart has been glad and my tongue has exulted; my flesh, too, will dwell in hope, because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld, nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption. You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.'" (Passage from the Acts of the Apostles 2:14a, 22-28)
On Thursday morning, June 16, I will leave for the USA. I will stay in Kennebunk, Maine, the first night and then I will move to Alfred, Maine, on June 27 to start the three-day retreat. After a stay in Portsmouth, NH, I will leave for Stratford, CT. On June 24 to 26, I will be at My Father’s House in Moodus, CT, for another retreat. Then on June 28, I will celebrate a Healing Mass at St. Mary of the Assumption Church, 46 Conklin Avenue, Haverstraw, NY. I hope to be back in P.E.I. on June 30.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Fr. Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
"I bless you, Melvin My brother, and all My brothers and sisters living in every country of the world. St. Peter, the one I appointed as head of My Church, was not afraid to speak to the Israelites about what they had done to Me. He showed his great faith in Me knowing that I come from God with mighty deeds. He told the Jews that they killed Me by using lawless men to crucify Me. Yet I was raised to life on the third day never to die again. He called on the people to accept Me as their Messiah, to repent and to be baptized. Indeed about three thousand people were baptized that day. Come, My brothers and sisters, and accept Me as Your Savior who sent the Holy Spirit upon you. Follow Me and My Church and you will be saved."

The Coming of the Spirit
Dear Friends,
When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, the Apostles were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. (Passage from the Acts of the Apostles 2:1-4)
In 1977, while I was in Africa, a group of us invited two charismatic priests to come and give us a weekend seminar, and it was the weekend of Pentecost. These two priests taught us about the Holy Spirit and the charismatic movement. On Saturday evening around 9:00 p.m. the two priests prayed over us so that the Holy Spirit may be released in us. We were 23 people in the group. They prayed over me but I did not feel anything. By 9:30 p.m. we all withdrew to our rooms for the night. As I arrived in my room, I sat down and began to pray and I was filled with the Holy Spirit and I prayed the whole night until 6:00 a.m. the next morning. I just could not stop praying and praising God. I found myself praying in tongues and I felt that Jesus was right there with me. I had a very great experience, which I will never forget.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
"It was on the tenth day after My Ascension into the heaven that the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles gathered in the Upper Room in Jerusalem. The Father and I sent the Holy Spirit on all those gathered there. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in tongues. On that day a new era began, the era of the Holy Spirit. The fear, that the Apostles had, vanished after the coming of the Holy Spirit. They opened the doors and St. Peter went out and spoke to the people gathered outside. He called them to believe in Me, to repent of their sins and be baptized. Many accepted the call of St. Peter and three thousand were baptized on that day. Pentecost is the day My Church was born. I call upon all of you to open your hearts today and receive the Holy Spirit. He is coming upon you with great power. May you be renewed completely."

Cure of a Crippled Beggar
Dear Friends,
Now Peter and John were going up to the temple area for the three o'clock hour of prayer. And a man crippled from birth was carried and placed at the gate of the temple called "the Beautiful Gate" every day to beg for alms from the people who entered the temple. When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms. But Peter looked intently at him, as did John, and said, "Look at us." He paid attention to them, expecting to receive something from them. Peter said, "I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, rise and walk." Then Peter took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles grew strong. He leaped up, stood, and walked around, and went into the temple with them, walking and jumping and praising God. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they recognized him as the one who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with amazement and astonishment at what had happened to him. (Passage from the Acts of the Apostles 3:1-10)
Tomorrow, Thursday June 16, I will leave early in the morning for the State of Maine, USA. I will be home on July 1. I ask you all to pray that this visit to the USA will be successful. I wish to announce that I will have two retreats during the summer. On July 19 to 21, I will have a French retreat at the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island and on August 16 to 18, I will have an English retreat at the Little Shrine. All are welcome.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
"May you be filled with My graces, My dear brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters who believe in Me throughout the world. The story of the cure of the crippled beggar who sat at the gate to the temple is very special. It was St. Peter, the Apostle, who uttered the words of healing for this man. After these words, he was completely healed and was able to walk and leap. The people, when they saw him, were filled with amazement to see him walking. The Apostles were now doing the same miracles I did when I was on earth. Many today have the same gift as St. Peter had. Go to them for a healing. I bless you all."
Father Melvin

My child, I come to My children and ask them who is your God? Whose voice is it that you are listening to? I say to My children, rise up and repent for too many are slumbering and I urge you My children, to not wait to awaken on your day of judgment.
I am speaking to the world My children, to all of humanity. I am speaking to you in the wind and the rains for even the oceans are beckoning for My children to turn away from sin. The earth is crying out for nature responds to the commands of heaven. At a time of planting your harvest will be limited.
You cannot expect the course of the universe to be on the cycle of producing fruit when you seek to silence the voice of the One who is the giver and taker of each and every living thing for I am Jesus. Look My children with open eyes and an open heart for it is the heart that drives the will, not the will that drives the heart.
It is My heart My children that gave Me the strength out of total love for you, that gave Me the will to suffer My Passion, Death and Resurrection. Turn to prayer and fasting. Turn to the Eucharist for I desire to nourish your malnourished souls for I am Jesus, the way, the truth, and the life.
Watch My children and listen for you are soon to witness the great splendor of the universe be shown to you in a way that can only come forth from My Father for it is My mercy and justice that will prevail.

My child, I have remained in silence watching My children wither to the ways of the world. My silence is no longer, for nature has awakened for as I have warned My children, earthquakes will come and in the middle of America it will come from the north and tremble to the south and many masses will come and stand before Me while the other masses cry out for My mercy.
Where are you My children? I ask you at the end of your time on this earth what do you bring before Me? Many cry out that they have no time to pray, no time to come before Me, yet I say to you is your business the things of the world or do you offer these things to Me as small penances?
Take heed My children! Take heed to the time which you are given, for one does not return to the day that was just given to them. Now go forth and heed to what lies before you for I call you now to a time of conversion for I am Jesus and My mercy and justice will prevail.

My child, this is a call My children to come before Me in the Blessed Sacrament for five days proceeding the Sunday after Pentecost. I call My children to let this be a time of prayer to the Holy Spirit, to guide you so that you may persevere in faith in time to come. Come and mend My wounds by healing yours to become disciples of the truth.
The world My children has become a harbor of evil but you can rise above the darkness by being ambassadors of the light for I am Jesus. There is much unrest in your hearts but do not wither, rather let this be a time of prayer not only for yourselves but for your children and families.
My children, let Me resolve the unjust in this world for it is a time for you to tell the world about My mercy. Come and join your heart to Mine by total surrender to your Heavenly Father. Now go forth in peace and love in My name for it is My mercy and justice that will prevail.

30th Anniversary Novena to Our Lady
The Queen of Peace
On June 15, 2011, begins the Novena in thanksgiving for 30 years of the apparitions of the Queen of Peace. In Medjugorje, they will pray the rosary at Apparition Hill every day at 4 pm, and we unite with all our friends and with all the pilgrims all over the world through this Novena. The Novena ends on June 23, and on June 24, at 6 am, we pray for peace in the “Peace March” which leads us in a Eucharistic procession from Humac to Medjugorje. We invite all Our Lady’s pilgrims, wherever they may be, to unite in a joyful prayer!
1st day: We pray for the Visionaries
(See end for prayers)
1. Prayer to the Queen of Peace
2. Veni Creator Spiritus
3. Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary

Jesus said to his disciples: "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled." Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures. And he said to them: "thus it is written that the Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold I am sending the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city until you are clothed with the power from on high." (Lk 24,44-49)
"Dear children! Today I thank you for living and witnessing to my messages with your life. Little children, be strong and pray so that prayer may give you strength and joy. Only in this way will each of you be mine and I will lead you on the way of salvation. Little children, pray and with your life bear witness to my presence here. May each day be a joyful witness for you of God's love. Thank you for having responded to my call." (Message, June 25, 1999)
"Prayer is the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God." But when we pray, do we speak from the height of our pride and will, or "out of the depths" of a humble and contrite heart? He who humbles himself will be exalted; humility is the foundation of prayer, only when we humbly acknowledge that "we do not know how to pray as we ought," are we ready to receive freely the gift of prayer. "Man is a beggar before God." (2559)
4. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin
Concluding prayer: Lord, You call all Christians to be real witnesses of Your life and of Your love. Today, we thank You in a special way for the visionaries and for their mission in witnessing to the messages of the Queen of Peace. We present to You all of their needs. We pray for each one of them personally, that You may be near them, so that they may grow unceasingly in the experience of Your strength. We pray that You guide them to a deeper and more humble prayer in further witnessing to the presence of Our Lady in Medjugorje. Amen.
2nd day: We pray for all Priests who Minister at the Sanctuary
1. Prayer to the Queen of Peace
2. Veni Creator Spiritus
3. Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary
Texts for Meditation
Jesus said to his disciples: "Amen, amen I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it." (Jn 14,12-14)
"Dear children! Today I am with you in a special way and I bring you my motherly blessing of peace. I pray for you and I intercede for you before God, so that you may comprehend that each of you is a carrier of peace. You cannot have peace if your heart is not at peace with God. That is why, little children, pray, pray, pray, because prayer is the foundation of your peace. Open your heart and give time to God so that He will be your friend. When true friendship with God is realized, no storm can destroy it. Thank you for having responded to my call." (Message, June 25, 1997)
"If you knew the gift of God!" The wonder of prayer is revealed beside the well where we come seeking water: there, Christ comes to meet every human being. It is he who first seeks us and asks us for a drink. Jesus thirsts; his asking arises from the depths of God's desire for us. Whether we realize it or not, prayer is the encounter of God's thirst with ours. God thirsts that we may thirst for him. "You would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." Paradoxically our prayer of petition is a response to the plea of the living God: "They have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water!" Prayer is the response of faith to the free promise of salvation and also a response of love to the thirst of the only Son of God. (2560 2561)
4. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin
Concluding prayer: Lord, You are the only source of life, the only One who can quench our thirst for love and friendship. We thank You for Your humility in working through a simple man, a priest, giving Yourself to Your people in Holy Mass, in the Sacraments, in Benedictions… Today, we invoke in a special way Your blessing on all priests who minister at the Sanctuary of the Queen of Peace. May they further discover the power of faith through which You grant them whatever they ask of You. May they also become true carriers of peace, fruits of their deeply felt friendship with You. Amen.
3rd day: We pray for all Parishioners

Jesus said to his disciples: "I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me will be thrown out like a branch and wither; people will gather them and throw them into a fire and they will be burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. As the Father loves me, so also I love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete." (Jn 15,5-8)
"Dear children! Today I thank you for all the sacrifices you have offered me these days. Little children, I invite you to open yourselves to me and to decide for conversion. Your hearts, little children, are still not completely open to me and therefore, I invite you again to open to prayer so that in prayer the Holy Spirit will help you, that your hearts become of flesh and not of stone. Little children, thank you for having responded to my call and for having decided to walk with me toward holiness." (Message, June 25, 1996)
Where does prayer come from? Whether prayer is expressed in words or gestures, it is the whole man who prays. But in naming the source of prayer, Scripture speaks sometimes of the soul or the spirit, but most often of the heart (more than a thousand times). According to Scripture, it is the heart that prays. If our heart is far from God, the words of prayer are in vain. (2562)
4. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin
Concluding prayer: Thank You, Lord, for Your love, thank You for the call to remain with the heart in Your love and to bear much fruit. Thank You for having chosen this parish in a special way, by giving it to Your Mother, the Queen of Peace, with the mission to call the world to peace and reconciliation, to conversion through the renewal of fasting and prayer… Thank You for the openness of each heart, which knew how to receive Her, and allowed Her to make each of them a visible sign for those who come here. Today we pray to You, o Lord: make this parish an even greater sign of the Kingdom of God, and help the parishioners to become joyful and holy fruits of the presence of Our Lady. Amen.
4th day: We pray for all Leaders in the Church
1. Prayer to the Queen of Peace
2. Veni Creator Spiritus
3. Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary
Texts for Meditation
Jesus said to his disciples: "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (Jn 8,12)
"Dear Children! Today I am happy to see you in such great numbers, that you have responded and have come to live my messages. I invite you, little children, to be my joyful carriers of peace in this troubled world. Pray for peace so that as soon as possible a time of peace, which my heart waits impatiently for, may reign. I am near to you, little children, and intercede for every one of you before the Most High. I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call." (Message, June 25, 1995)
The heart is the dwelling-place where I am, where I live; according to the Semitic or Biblical expression, the heart is the place "to which I withdraw." The heart is our hidden centre, beyond the grasp of our reason and of others; only the Spirit of God can fathom the human heart and know it fully. The heart is the place of decision, deeper than our psychic drives. It is the place of truth, where we choose life or death. It is the place of encounter, because as image of God we live in relation: it is the place of covenant. (2563)
4. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin
Concluding prayer: Thank You, O Lord, for giving us the Church as Mother and Spouse, to lead us in our earthly life on a path of light towards You. Thank You, because in the Church we are all brothers and sisters, and members of one Mystical Body. Today we pray for those who lead the Church: may they unceasingly renew within themselves their covenant with You, the One and Only True Head, so as to become faithful and joyful carriers of peace and truth in this troubled world. Amen.
5th day: We pray for all Pilgrims who already came to Medjugorje
1. Prayer to the Queen of Peace
2. Veni Creator Spiritus
3. Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary
Texts for Meditation
Jesus said to his disciples: "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it. What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? (Mk 8,34-38)
"Dear children! Today I am happy, even if in my heart there is still a little sadness for all those who have started on this path and then have left it. My presence here is to take you on a new path, the path to salvation. This is why I call you, day after day to conversion. But if you do not pray, you cannot say that you are on the way to being converted. I pray for you and I intercede to God for peace; first peace in your hearts and also peace around you, so that God may be your peace. Thank you for having responded to my call." (Message, June 25, 1992)
Christian prayer is a covenant relationship between God and man in Christ. It is the action of God and of man, springing forth from both the Holy Spirit and ourselves, wholly directed to the Father, in union with the human will of the Son of God made man. (2564)
4. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin
Concluding prayer: Our lives, O Lord, are in Your hands. You alone know what we need to be saved. Thank You for teaching us this here in Medjugorje for 20 years through Your Mother, who came to lead us on the way of salvation. Bless and strengthen all those who have started to walk on the way of conversion and prayer here in Medjugorje. Strengthen their faith, their hope and their charity and never let them betray their covenant with You. Amen.
6th day: We pray for all Pilgrims who will come to Medjugorje
1. Prayer to the Queen of Peace

At that time Jesus said: "I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him. Come to me, all you who labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light." (Mt 11,25-30)
"Dear children! Today I also rejoice at your presence here. I bless you with my motherly blessing and intercede for each one of you before God. I call you anew to live my messages and to put them into life and practice. I am with you and bless all of you day by day. Dear children, these are special times and, therefore, I am with you to love and protect you; to protect your hearts from Satan and to bring you all closer to the heart of my Son, Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call." (Message, June 25, 1993)
In the New Covenant, prayer is the living relationship of the children of God with their Father who is good beyond measure, with his Son Jesus Christ and with the Holy Spirit. The grace of the Kingdom is "the union of the entire holy and royal Trinity . . . with the whole human spirit." Thus, the life of prayer is the habit of being in the presence of the thrice-holy God and in communion with him. This communion of life is always possible because, through Baptism, we have already been united with Christ. Prayer is Christian insofar as it is communion with Christ and extends throughout the Church, which is his Body. Its dimensions are those of Christ's love. (2565)

You alone know all the little ones who will receive the grace of the revelation of Your love through Your Mother, here in Medjugorje. We pray for all pilgrims who will come to Medjugorje: protect their hearts from all satanic attacks and open their hearts to all inspirations coming from Your Heart and from the Heart of Mary. Amen.

Jesus said to his disciples: "Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets. Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. How narrow is the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few." (Mt 7,12-14)
"Dear children! I am calling you to that love which is loyal and pleasing to God. Little children, love bears everything bitter and difficult for the sake of Jesus who is love. Therefore, dear children, pray that God come to your aid, not however according to your desire, but according to His love. Surrender yourself to God so that He may hear you, console you and forgive everything inside you which is a hindrance on the way of love. In this way God can move your life, and you will grow in love. Dear children, glorify God with a hymn of love so that God's love may be able to grow in you day by day to its fullness. Thank you for having responded to my call." (Message, June 25, 1988)
In prayer the Holy Spirit unites us to the person of the only Son, in his glorified humanity, through which and in which our filial prayer unites us in the Church with the Mother of Jesus. Mary gave her consent in faith at the Annunciation and maintained it without hesitation at the foot of the Cross. Ever since, her motherhood has extended to the brothers and sisters of her Son "who still journey on earth surrounded by dangers and difficulties." Jesus, the only mediator, is the way of our prayer; Mary, his mother and ours, is wholly transparent to him: she "shows the way" (hodigitria), and is herself "the Sign" of the way, according to the traditional iconography of East and West. (2673 2674)
4. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin
Concluding prayer: Love is the sign of recognition to Your disciples, O Lord. We thank You for every response of love given through service and gifts to others. We pray for all members of the Medjugorje Prayer Groups and Centres in the whole world. Together with Your Mother, may they more courageously and resolutely, within their families and wherever they live, always show this narrow way, the only one that leads to You. Help them to grow day by day in the fullness of Your Love. Amen.

Jesus said to his disciples: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come towards the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God." (Jn 3,16-21)
"Dear children! Today, on this great day, which you have given to me, I desire to bless all of you and to say: these days while I am with you are days of grace. I desire to teach you and help you to walk the way of holiness. There are many people who do not desire to understand my messages and to accept with seriousness what I am saying. But you I therefore call and ask that by your lives and by your daily living you witness my presence. If you pray, God will help you to discover the true reason for my coming. Therefore, little children, pray and read the Sacred Scriptures so that through my coming you discover the message in Sacred Scripture for you. Thank you for having responded to my call." (Message, June 25,1991)
Mary is the perfect Orans (pray-er), a figure of the Church. When we pray to her, we are adhering with her to the plan of the Father, who sends his Son to save all men. Like the beloved disciple we welcome Jesus' mother into our homes, for she has become the mother of all the living. We can pray with and to her. The prayer of the Church is sustained by the prayer of Mary and united with it in hope. (2679)
4. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin
Concluding prayer: We thank You, O Father, for having given us Your Son and His Mother, so that none of those who believe in them and listen to them may be lost. Thank You for caring for each person and, in Your mercy, for condemning no one. We pray today for all that Our Lady has prayed for here in Medjugorje, and for every grace that has been poured out here into the world. May it bring the fruit of holiness and serve You in Your plan of salvation. Amen.
9th day: We pray for the Intentions of the Queen of Peace

At that time Jesus said: "Father, they are your gift to me. I wish that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see my glory that you gave me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, the world also does not know you, but I know you, and they know that you sent me. I made known to them your name and I will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them." (Jn 17,24-26)
"Dear children! Today I thank you and I want to invite you all to God's peace. I want each one of you to experience in your heart that peace which God gives. I want to bless you all today. I am blessing you with God's blessing and I beseech you, dear children, to follow and to live my way. I love you, dear children, and so not even counting the number of times, I go on calling you and I thank you for all that you are doing for my intentions. I beg you, help me to present you to God and to save you. Thank you for having responded to my call." (Message, June 25, 1987)
Mary's prayer is revealed to us at the dawning of the fullness of time. Before the incarnation of the Son of God, and before the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, her prayer cooperates in a unique way with the Father's plan of loving kindness: at the Annunciation, for Christ's conception; at Pentecost, for the formation of the Church, his Body. In the faith of his humble handmaid, the Gift of God found the acceptance he had awaited from the beginning of time. She whom the Almighty made "full of grace" responds by offering her whole being: "Behold I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be [done] to me according to your word." "Fiat": this is Christian prayer: to be wholly God's, because he is wholly ours. (2617)
4. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin
Concluding prayer: We thank You, O Father, for the gift of prayer which allows us to touch Your heart; prayer in which You give Yourself entirely to us and in which You teach us to give ourselves entirely to You. We pray today for all intentions of the Queen of Peace and for all that is necessary so that the whole world, through Mary, may enter into Your glory, the glory of the Most Holy Trinity. Amen.

I see a great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: "I bless you as you sleep. I affirm you as you arise. I enlighten your way with the Flame of My Eternal Love. I provide for your every need; cheer you on in times of challenge. I celebrate with you every victory great and small."
"I do all of these things for each soul. Yet, many despair. Many curse My Divine Will. These are the ones that do not choose to know Me. These are the ones who depend on human effort and forsake the Divine; but I still reach out to them. I still offer My Provision and My Mercy. It is not I Who reject the sinner, but the sinner who rejects Me. This is because they do not understand how much I love them."
"I am the Eternal Now. My Heart is a Fatherly Heart. What consolation I offer to those who believe this!"

Our Lady showed me the picture above; then She said: "Praise be to Jesus."
"Today many are focused on the future - what they will eat, how will they survive - and so on. They place all their trust on what they themselves can do now to provide for future necessities. While some cargo in the ship is good, if too much is loaded into the ship it will sink. So it is with the soul that becomes distracted with what may come. He sinks beneath the waters of trust."
"The soul that carries a light cargo remains buoyant upon the sea of trust. He provides prudently what he may need in the future. He does not hoard cargo. He always trusts God in every need."
"The best preparation is preparation of the heart. Prepare spiritually; then you will know what commodities you may need, and what you will not need. My Spouse, the Spirit of Truth - will lead you."

Feast of Pentecost
St. Michael says: "Praise be to Jesus."
"Today I tell you, the holy war that must be recognized and fought is not one ideology over another but the war between good and evil. Pray that the Holy Spirit is victorious in every heart - inspiring Holy Love; then the heart of every nation will be ruled by the Spirit of Truth. It is only in this way evil will be shown for what it is."
"No god exists who inspires the destruction of people and nations. Such so-called gods originate in the netherworld - such deceptive ideologies are satanic. Tolerance and silence concerning these false religions is not of God, and strengthens Satan's domain. Do not be fearful in speaking out against these untruths."
"Today receive the Spirit of Truth, along with Holy Boldness. Speak up in support of the Truth always. Be faithful to the Spirit of Truth."

"I am your Jesus, born Incarnate."
"I have come to establish in the world the Kingdom of My Divine Love, which will be the sum total of the New Jerusalem. First I am sending sanctifying grace into each heart. This grace is the necessary foundation of all good - without this grace, good is not possible."
"You must pray that hearts open and accept the grace I desire they have; for without it, hearts are easy prey to evil."
"Do not wonder that I tell you the New Jerusalem, Holy Love and My Father's Will are one. All of these comprise My Mother's Immaculate Heart. Reflect upon these truths. Ask for the grace of understanding. Do not be tripped up by who believes or who does not believe. Let Me help you to believe."

Dear holy Mother, Our Lady of All Graces, please pray for us, your children, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen
My dear child Alix, do not worry about what you are called to do because you are engaged in doing God’s Work for the protection of His people, good and bad. It is very pleasing to the Lord who knows that you are not at all happy that so many people will die in the aftermath of the Three Days of Darkness. The intense destruction that is about to take place in the USA and all over the world is quite immense.
Dearest children, the menace that is predicted for the near future is more severe than can be expected or imagined. There is no longer any time to waste and you, My dearest children, are to waste no time to plead with people. If they hear the word of the Lord as expressed in the Let There Be Life Booklet and decide to comply with what they read, then, send them an extra blessing from your daily prayers because they will need your support in order not to lose faith.
Dearest children, pity the ones who reject the Warning initiated with the Lord for His people. Pity them but never give up on anyone because your faith in God and in the Church will permit God to perform many miracles of conversions for the Glory of His name. The more irreverent the people are to you and to the word of God to His Church, the more God will bless them when you bless them, forgive them and patiently love them. Remember that Jesus permitted Himself to be crucified and put to death for all sinners so that their soul can be resurrected to life eternal.
Dearest children, judge no one, even the worst sinner known to mankind but pray, pray and pray for them as you speak in the name of the Lord. Because the Holy Spirit will empower anyone who speaks in the name of CHRISTIAN LOVE.
Dearest children. Our Heavenly Father blesses the Let There Be Life Booklet so that when you deliver it to anyone by faith, it is important to believe that God’s power can touch and deliver from their sins, the most hardened hearts. If you believe that God empowers the little Booklet to do exactly for you what you intend for it to do, it will all be accomplished in the name of the Lord.
Dearest children, I am Your Heavenly Mother, also Your Lady All Graces who loves you and prays for you that you may be able to reach as many people as needed for the protection of God’s work of creation. The Good Lord is counting on all of My children and all the other children of the world to work diligently because it is very important that none among you be permitted to lose your faith. in God. God is the one and only one who Lives and Died for all sinners, so as to bestow on them the power to choose and enjoy eternal life with the Father of all mankind.
Dearest children, your Father in heaven is merciful and kind. Before it is revealed to man what is to be, already God knows the heart of the people. The great expectation in heaven, among the Angels and Saints, is that the message of LIFE, MERCY and KINDNESS be propagated and accepted in good faith. When enough people pray in love and compassion, the is no power on earth or in Hell that will be permitted to cause any sort of damage to the people of the earth or in nature. Nature and all that it contains will be restored according to the people’s faith in the Creator whose vision is to let the people find happiness for themselves and their loved ones on earth now and in heaven later..
Dearest children, I have already told you that nature has ears and it can be forced to listen because who can resist you when you speak in the name of Jesus who calmed the storm at sea and saved the life of His Apostles with Him in the fishing boat. You are to understand that God formally speaks to His children by the power vested in the Holy Roman Catholic Church to which you are expected to pledge obedience and respect. This is what your Heavenly Father asks of you, His people: "Respect the Authority of the Church and give allegiance to all that it teaches and find favor with the Lord.." This is what God expects of you and this is what pleases Jesus the most. To Abort, Kill, and cause people to lose faith and terminate their lives in order to avoid suffering is all against the teaching of Christ to His Church on earth, He who willingly suffered atrocious death for the salvation of your soul.
Dearest children, to believe and accept the full teaching of the Holy Roman Catholic Church of God and act in full obedience and support to its teaching will calm His just anger and empower Him to remove His curse on this nation as He eliminates His condemnation of the world so that peace and security may return to the whole world.
Dearest children, I am your heavenly Mother who loves you and comes to teach you how to protect yourselves and, I am Your Lady of All Graces who is revealing dire danger to your world and is prepared to lead you in battle for the salvation of souls and the protection of life on earth.
Dearest children, I thank you for responding to My Love and to the love of Jesus for all the children of the earth. Shalom - Shalom - Shalom...
