The Immaculate Heart of Mary
Dear Friends,
Each year his parents went to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover, and when Jesus was twelve years old, they went up according to festival custom. After they had completed its days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it. Thinking that he was in the caravan, they journeyed for a day and looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances, but not finding him, they returned to Jerusalem to look for him.
After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions, and all who heard him were astounded at his understanding and his answers. When his parents saw him, they were astonished, and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety." And he said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" But they did not understand what he said to them. (Passage from Luke's Gospel 2:41-50)
Below you will find the message of Our Dear Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,
"I bless you, Melvin my son, and all my children everywhere in the world on this day in commemoration of My Immaculate Heart. Yesterday was the Feast of the Sacred Heart of My Son, Jesus. I love you, all My children, and I want you all to follow My Son, Jesus. He came into the world to save you all but you must believe in Him and follow Him every day. Go to Church at least every Sunday and receive Him in Holy Communion if you have repented of your sins.
When Jesus was twelve years old, Joseph and I lost Him in Jerusalem and we searched for Him for three days, finding Him in the Temple. I challenged Him for having caused us such anxiety. His response was that of the Son of God, saying that He was in His Father's house. We should have thought of this when we returned to Jerusalem. He reminded us who He was. Remind yourselves often that Jesus is the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. He is the Son of God and act with great reverence and with love toward Him."

Parameters of the Catholic Church In Respect of the End of Time
The Catholic Church says relatively little about future events leading up to Christ's Second Coming. Many of her teachings are rejections (either implicit or explicit), not affirmations, of particular beliefs such as the dispensational dichotomy between the Church and Israel, the Pre-Tribulational Rapture, and reigning of Jesus in the flesh upon the Earth for 1,000 years (Millenarianism). What she does teach is quite clear, as well as succinct: there will be a Second Coming, a time of trial which the Church must endure, an Antichrist, a conversion of Jews to Christ, a definitive judgment of all people, and the fulfillment of the Kingdom that has already begun in the Church. Within those parameters, Catholics may freely roam, search the Scriptures, and seek to better understand the Word of God. (A)
Remain Vigilant at All Times
Holy Scripture describes a three and one half year period known as the Tribulation which will be dominated by a most charismatic, duplicitous and tyrannical man. Initially, he will appear as a man of peace. He will seize control of the European Union, then the United Nations and later, the world. He will claim to be Jesus Christ having arrived the second time, and is known in Holy Scripture as the Antichrist. At the beginning of the Tribulation, he will declare himself a god and ruler of the one-world government, and will be the worst tyrant and persecutor of Christians in history. At such time, Satan will unleash his plan to deceive mankind into continuing its rebellion against God; and God’s just judgment will descend upon mankind for its wicked, unrepentant ways in order to prepare the world for the second coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ in glorious victory to usher in the Era of Peace.
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” (cf. Mat 24:36) Indeed, no one knows the date of the end of time; but Holy Scripture tells us of signs that will precede it, and Jesus told us to remain vigilant at all times. "But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a snare; for it will come upon all who dwell upon the face of the whole earth. But watch at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of man." (cf. Luk 21:34-36)
Signs of the Times
“He answered them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather; for the sky is red.' And in the morning, 'It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.” (cf. Mat 16:2-3)
Holy Scripture tells us to look for the following signs to occur shortly before the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ [also refer to #357]:
The return of the Jews to their homeland – In Daniel 12, Daniel had a vision of a man dressed in linen who delineated certain events that were to occur during the Tribulation. Thereafter, Daniel asked how long it would be until the end of these events. The response lies in Daniel 12:7 which reads: “The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven; and I heard him swear by him who lives for ever that it would be for a time, two times, and half a time; and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be accomplished.” The modern state of Israel became an autonomous nation on May 14, 1948, and the Jews have been returning to their homeland ever since.
Birth pangs – earthquakes have increased exponentially since 1970. What was once a large quake now is considered an average quake. (Mat 24)
Wars and rumors of wars – no other period in history has known the number or nature of wars as during the last 110 years. (Mat 24)
Teachings of certain Fathers of the Church that time would last for 6,000 years – Using the Bible, it has been established that Adam & Eve were on Earth about 6,000 years ago. Refer to the section on Era of Peace below and the hyperlink provided therein for additional information. [St. Irenaeus & Lactantius]
· The Revived Roman Empire - The book of Daniel predicts that the revived Roman Empire is to be in existence at the time of the Tribulation of the Antichrist (Daniel 2:33-34 & 2:41-44). In Daniel, the revived Roman Empire is represented by the image of the statue’s "feet of iron and clay" (a loose confederation). The Antichrist is to be a politician from the revived Roman Empire. Revelation 17 affirms that the Antichrist comes from this revived Roman Empire, as Rome is the city surrounded by seven hills. (Rev. 17:7-18). Further, Our Lady of LaSalette stated “Rome will loose the Faith and become the seat of the Antichrist.” The European Union is a loose confederation by anyone’s standards, and is believed by many to be that revived Roman Empire. Officially, it came into existence in 1992. [Refer to the teachings of St. Cyril of Jerusalem and St. Irenaeus, also.]
· As it was in the days of Noah & Lot – The Blessed Mother told us via a number of private prophets (e.g. Fr. Stefano Gobbi – IMPRIMATURS; yet-to-be-approved (B)) that the world today is worse than in the days of Noah. n.b. the rise in open homosexuality, human sacrifice via abortion promoted by the state, cloning, etc. Indeed, love has grown cold; and both daily business and governmental activities are filled with fraud, deceit, violations of trust and misrepresentation. (Luk 17 & Mat 24)
· The battle lines of the Middle East – The Arab nations together with Russia are unified in opposition against the modern state of Israel. (Eze 38) [Refer to #416]
· The Euphrates River is drying up - Due to a prolonged severe drought and Turkish and Syrian dams upstream and the related diversion of water, the Euphrates River is drying up as predicted to make way for the ‘kings of the East’ (Rev. 16) [Refer to #405]
· The new Health Care Law of the USA contemplates the use of the Mark of the Beast (which is the Subdermal Microchip). The satellite system is in place, and Microsoft developed the necessary software. The new Health Care Law requires that the system be operational by March, 2013. Smart cards may precede the use of the Chip. (Rev. 13)
· Terrorism is being used as a ruse to promote laws restricting and revoking freedom (n.b. US Patriot Acts I & II, the John Warner Act, the Military Commissions Act, etc.). Soon it will be used to promote, and later force, the implantation of the Mark of the Beast (the Subdermal Microchip) - (Isa 24 & Rev 13). [Refer to #415]
· The Gospel has been preached throughout the world – The Greek word for ‘world’ used in Matthew 24:14 refers to the then-known world of the Roman Empire. Romans 10:18 is clear: “But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” [Refer to “Has Matthew 24:14 been realized? Definitely, Yes” at the Call To Holiness site.].
· Persecution of Christianity is on the rise – No other religion is being attacked like that of Christianity. It will increase significantly very soon, and the Church will go out the same way that she came in: via the catacombs. (Dan 8, Joh 16, Luk 21, Mar 13 & Mat 24)
“And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death...” (cf. Mar 13:12) The US Patriot Acts contain provisions in which anyone having knowledge of the location of ‘enemy combatants’ must turn them into authorities, or be imprisoned. The US President (a Muslim) is the one who unilaterally designates who are ‘enemy combatants’. Such law will call for priests to expose confidential disclosures obtained in the confessional. Recently, a former cabinet member of former US President Clinton stated in an article that “Christians are worse than terrorists.”. Additionally, certain Catholic teaching is being declared as ‘hate crimes’ in a growing number of places worldwide.
· Many will claim to be the returning Christ – There have been many persons claiming to be the returning Christ during the last several years; including as of this writing, a man in Florida, a man in Papua New Guinea, and a man who calls himself, Lord Maitreya (Discussed below). (Mat 24)
· Natural disasters have been increasing significantly in recent years. The insurance industry has reported record losses for many of the years since 1999. (Luk 21 & Mat 24) [Refer to #53,217,289,329,377 & 394]
· One-world government – to make the way for one-world government the Illuminati (a group of 13 wealthy elitist families who control international finance and all nations from the shadows) have broken the back of the former USSR economically, and are now doing the same to the remaining superpower, the USA. (Dan 7 & 11) [Refer to #387 & 386.]
· The Earth’s magnetic poles are in the process of reversing. Refer to discussion below.
Famines in diverse places – Shelves in grocery stores and food distribution centers will empty quickly as a result of the forthcoming global economic collapse. Additionally, our Lord advised us through John Leary (C), Louise Tomkiel (D) and Carol Ameche (E), that famine will result from (1) nuclear, biological and chemical fallout, (2) natural disasters and climatic changes, (3) the dispersion of diseases and contamination by way of chemtrails and tainted vaccines by evil men to cause panic, and (4) leaks from nuclear reactors resulting from earthquakes. The ability of people to treat themselves medically against the forthcoming plagues (many of which are, and will be man made) is being restricted. Vitamins and dietary supplements will soon be taken off of the shelves, and provided only with a medical subscription. Part of the plan of the Globalists and their New World Order is to decrease the world population significantly. Further, there is a disproportionate number of medical scientists and microbiologists that are dying mysteriously. Clearly, the purpose is to (1) decrease the world population significantly, (2) make the survivors fully-dependent upon those in control, and (3) force people to accept the Mark of the Beast (the subdermal microchip) to control them. The recipients of the chip can be tracked by the Global Positioning System. Our Lord told us that they can exert mind control electronically upon the recipients to comply with the New World Order, and to worship the Antichrist. [Refer to “Tribulation Protection: The Blood of the Lamb” at the Call To Holiness site, and to #283,302,357,358, 379,395,397,407.]
Many false prophets will arise and lead many astray – Through Fr. Stefano Gobbi, Our Lady stated that the Great Apostasy exists today, and will break out into the open soon. The words of Pope John Paul II indicate this, as well.
· Private prophecy (both approved by the Church and that yet-to-be approved by the Church as worthy of belief) confirms that the times have arrived.
"Then afterward I will pour out my spirit upon all mankind. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions; Even upon the servants and the handmaids, in those days, I will pour out my spirit." (cf. Joel 2:28-29)
"Extinguish not the spirit. Despise not prophecies. But prove all things; hold fast that which is good." (cf. 1Th. 5:19-21) (n.b. This is not a recommendation…….. but a directive!).
The Abomination of Desolation – This will occur soon, and will be one of the signs to flee to the refuges. It will occur at the beginning of the Tribulation. (Discussed below.)
And more.......
Now, what is the probability that all of these prophesized events have occurred simultaneously by chance? Answer: Extremely Remote!
In Mar 13 and Mat 24, Jesus delineated a number of signs that would precede His triumphant return (n.b. the listing above includes those delineated therein plus several others found elsewhere within Holy Scripture.) Thereafter, He stated: “Now of the fig tree learn ye a parable. When the branch thereof is now tender and the leaves are come forth, you know that summer is very near. So you also when you shall see these things come to pass, know ye that it is very nigh, even at the doors. Amen, I say to you that this generation shall not pass until all these things be done. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my word shall not pass away.” (Cf. Mar 13:28-31 - DRV).
Please understand that this is NOT the end of the world. It is the end of the era of Satan. What follows is the Era of Peace.
Certain Heretical Beliefs About the End Times
The Jewish Temple of Jerusalem must be rebuilt prior to the second coming of Jesus. This is heretical, and is not taught by the Catholic Church. The ‘temple’ referred to in Daniel 9, Matthew 24 & 2 Thessalonians 2 is the Church. Refer to: “Must the Reconstruction of the Temple of Jerusalem Precede the Second Coming of Jesus Christ?” at the Call To Holiness site.
The Pre-Tribulational Rapture of the good people into Heaven prior to the Tribulation. This is heretical, and stems from a footnote (only) placed in the Protestant Darby Bible about 150 years ago. “This I declare, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God...” (cf. 1Co 15:50) For a detailed discussion, refer to “The Myth of the Pre-Tribulational Rapture” at the Call To Holiness site.
Millenarianism, which is the belief that Jesus will return to reign on Earth in the flesh for 1,000 years, has been condemned by the Church. Refer the discussion on the Era of Peace below.
The Era of Peace
"Then I saw an angel come down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the abyss and a heavy chain. He seized the dragon, the ancient serpent, which is the Devil or Satan, and tied it up for a thousand years and threw it into the abyss, which he locked over it and sealed, so that it could no longer lead the nations astray until the thousand years are completed. After this, it is to be released for a short time.
Then I saw thrones; those who sat on them were entrusted with judgment. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image nor had accepted its mark on their foreheads or hands. They came to life and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over these; they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for (the) thousand years." (cf. Rev 20:1-6)
The Era of Peace will be established by Jesus when He comes in glory in His spirit. Jesus will not be present in the flesh, but will reign in our will and, in a most powerful way, by means of the Holy Eucharist. The duration of this kingdom cannot be interpreted as a literal 1,000 years (n.b. time will have been suspended at that point.). The doctrine of the Millennium - an "age to come", an "era" of peace or "some mighty triumph of Christianity before the end" - has been accepted as sound doctrine. Millenarianism, which is substantially different, has been condemned by the Church. (Rev 20:1-6; Rev 21; Isa 65:17-25; Dan 2:44).
Remember and understand that Our Heavenly Father has a plan for this world. Adam interfered with God’s plan, and He sent His Son to earth to make reparation. God’s plan will be realized – He will not be upstaged by man. “...and He who sat upon the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” (cf. Rev 21:5)
The preternatural gifts (immortality, immunity to pain and suffering & integrity) that were lost with Adam’s fall will be restored with the Era of Peace. (Rev 21:3-5, 27; Rev 20) Note also that the Era of Peace is an antitype of the Garden of Eden. As such it will be much greater than the Garden of Eden.
Time corresponds directly with the 7 days of creation. As mentioned above certain of the Fathers (St. Irenaeus & Lactantius) taught that as the world was created in six days, and on the seventh day God rested; similarly, the world as we know it will last six thousand years to be followed by the Era of Peace i.e. the "seven thousandth year". As the basis for this teaching, they cite Genesis, Catholic Tradition, Ps 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8 which reads:
"But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." (cf. 2 Pet 3:8)
Using the dates and ages of people provided in the Bible it can be proven that Adam was created about 6,000 years ago. Consider that the first approximate 2,000 years up until Abraham represented man’s direct interaction with Our Heavenly Father. The next 2,000 years represented man’s awaiting the Messiah and man’s direct interaction with Jesus. The next 2,000 years represent man’s direct interaction with the Holy Spirit from Pentecost until the end of time (e.g. charisms).
The final period is the Era of Peace, which corresponds to the day of Sabbath or rest taken by the Father in creation.
Rejoice! For we will see the Era of Peace soon!
For a detailed discussion, see: ”Era of Peace” at the Call To Holiness site.
The Warning, Great Miracle & Chastisement
We have been living through the Era of Divine Mercy, as explained by Jesus to St. Faustina Kowalska. A time of extraordinary grace to bring man to conversion and repentance. Soon it will end, and His Divine Justice will begin.
Very soon each person alive will experience a phenomenon that has been predicted by a number of prophets (yet-to-be-approved), most notably by Our Lady of Garabandal, Spain to the four children visionaries: Jacinta Gonzalez, Mari Loli Mazon, Conchita Gonzalez and Mari Cruz Gonzalez. That phenomenon has been called the Warning or Illumination.
It will be a phenomenon in which each person alive at that time will experience an interior vision of his entire life and the state of his soul along the way as God has seen it. At the end, we will see the current state of our soul at that time; and where in Heaven, Purgatory or Hell we would reside if we died at that moment.
Some (i.e. those who are in the state of mortal sin at the time) may die of fright. THIS MAY BE GOD'S LAST ATTEMPT TO GET OUR ATTENTION BEFORE HE BEGINS TO CLEANSE THE WORLD OF EVIL. (n.b. This is NOT the end of the world -- say the "Glory Be" prayer slowly and note the words: “world without end”. It is the end of the era of time controlled by Satan.). The Warning will accompany the passing of a comet near Earth coming from behind the sun.
With respect to the predicted Warning, Jacinta, stated "The Warning is something that is first seen in the air everywhere in the world and immediately is transmitted into the interior of our souls. It will last for a very little time, but it will seem a very long time because of its effect within us. It will be for the good of our souls in order to see in ourselves our conscience; the good that we have failed to do, and the bad that we have done. Then we will feel a great love towards our Heavenly Parents and ask forgiveness for all our offenses. The Warning is for us to draw closer to Him and to increase our faith. Therefore, one should prepare for that day, but not await it with fear. God does not send things for the sake of fear but rather with justice and love. He does it for the good of all His children so they might enjoy eternal happiness, and not be lost. The Warning will come when conditions are worst."
Immediately upon experiencing the Warning each person MUST make a choice either for Jesus or for Satan -- there can be no alternative. It will require overt actions; simply sitting in a pew for 1 hour on Sunday won't cut it. Faith alone is insufficient.
“What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well," but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead. Indeed someone might say, "You have faith and I have works." Demonstrate your faith to me without works, and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works. You believe that God is one. You do well. Even the demons believe that and tremble. Do you want proof, you ignoramus, that faith without works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by the works. Thus the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called "the friend of God." See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. And in the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by a different route? For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.” (cf. Jam 2:14-26)
"Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?" He answered him, "Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." He asked him, "Which ones?" And Jesus replied, "'You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; honor your father and your mother'; and 'you shall love your neighbor as yourself.'" (cf. Mat.19:16-19)
“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense, to repay every one for what he has done.” (cf. Rev 22:12)
It is important that immediately after the Warning, each of us write down everything that we experienced to reflect upon later. The prophecies are clear: For a short time people will repent, but thereafter return to their evil ways.
Shortly after the Warning, all hell will break loose. Literally all of the demons of hell will be loosed upon the Earth. Evil will be used to rid the world of evil.
Further, it was predicted that after the Warning a great miracle will occur at Garabandal. Mari-Loli stated, "The Miracle will take place within one year of the Warning.". It is to occur on a Thursday evening at 8:30 p.m. between the 8th and 16th of March, April or May. It is to coincide with an important event of the Church and on the feast day of a young martyr of the Eucharist. There will be conversions and healings.
Conchita: "The Blessed Virgin advised me of a great miracle, saying that God, Our Lord, would perform it through her intercession. Just as the chastisement will be very, very great, in keeping with the needs of the world. The Blessed Virgin has told me the date of the miracle and what it will consist of. I am supposed to announce it eight days in advance, so that people will come. The Pope will see it from wherever he is, and Padre Pio also [he is reliably reported to have already seen the miracle before he died in 1968].The sick who are present at the miracle will be cured and the sinners will be converted.
One will be able to see and photograph the Great Miracle, but not touch it. Shortly afterwards, Russia is to be converted. A permanent sign is to remain as a result of the Great Miracle. According to one of the visionaries, it will be like a pillar of smoke.
Our Lady told the visionaries that, if we do not heed her warnings and mankind does not change after the warning and miracle, God will send the chastisement.
Mari-Loli: "It would be worse than having fire on top of us --- fire underneath us and fire all around us. She saw people throwing themselves into the sea, but instead of putting the fire out it seemed to make them burn more."
Conchita: "The punishment is conditional upon whether or not mankind heeds the messages of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I cannot reveal what kind of punishment it is except that it will be a result of the direct intervention of God, which makes it more terrible and fearful than anything we can imagine.” [Refer to “Information on the Warning” at the Call To Holiness site and #310.]
Freemasonry and the New World Order
Freemasonry is a secret society, which some hold can trace its beginnings to the masons of ancient Babylon. Indeed, it is a religion complete with a creed, belief system, rituals, altars (places of worship), names for god, feast days, vestments, symbolism and more.
Freemasonry is based upon the false premise that God has not definitely revealed Himself. They believe in religious indifferentism and syncretism in that all religions (other than atheism) are acceptable, provided they swear blood covenantal oaths to the teachings of Freemasonry. Such blood covenantal oaths are incompatible with Christianity.
Masonry teaches that eternal life is available to those who practice virtue and good works. Hence, they believe that faith in Jesus Christ and Baptism are not required for salvation. Freemasonry, claims to have the truth. Only the Catholic Faith has the truth. Further, they profess belief in the ‘Grand Architect of the Universe’ rather than the Holy Trinity. Such Grand Architect is none other than Lucifer and the gods of ancient Egypt (which originated in ancient Babylon).
The name ‘Lucifer’ means ‘light bearer’. They believe that while Jesus is the Light of the world, Lucifer is the light bearer – pure and virtuous; and thus stronger than Jesus. Further, they believe that Lucifer enlightened mankind; whereas God the Father is angry and repressive. It is worthy of emphasis that Luciferians of today dress like you and I; and are bankers, doctors, lawyers, politicians, plumbers, carpenters, teachers, priests, etc.
There are 33 degrees (levels) of both the York and Scottish Rites of Freemasonry. The lower degrees are social clubs, which is the method used to lure initiates into Masonry. As the Mason progresses to the higher degrees, Freemasonry becomes progressively demonic.
Masonry is comprised of a number of sub-groups throughout the world: the Illuminati, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderbergs, the Club of Rome, the Trilateralist Commission, the Knights of Malta, Skull & Bones, the Alta Vendita, and more.
The Illuminati represent 13 elitist families, which have controlled international finance for centuries. From the shadows, they finance governments, and thus own them. They have sought to replace monarchies with republics, typically with a two-party system. They finance the campaigns of the leading Masonic candidates of both parties in elections ensuring that one of their members is elected.
They seek a one-world government centered (initially) under the United Nations, a one-world currency and a one-world New-Age religion (n.b. there is nothing new about the New Age religion. They worship the same demonic gods of ancient Babylon/Egypt.). In particular, they seek the destruction of the one true Apostolic and Catholic Church from both within and from outside the Church.
It is worthy of emphasis that the Catholic Church has condemned Freemasonry and issued an anathema to anyone joining the Masons. Any Catholic who joins the Masons is ex-communicated automatically from the Mystical Body of Christ, which is the Church.
The party line that the Masons use to describe the above mentioned plan for the world, is the “New World Order”.
To facilitate their New World Order, they had to eliminate the two existing Superpowers. They ran down the price of oil artificially, and escalated US defense spending and trading during the 1980s to bankrupt the USSR. Similarly, they have destroyed the US mortgaged-back securities market, and the debt market in general, escalated defense spending, engaged in an expensive and ill-defined ‘war on terror’, escalated welfare programs, nationalized healthcare, etc. to bankrupt the US.
Their plan calls for the elimination of billions of ‘useless eaters’, like you and I. This will be attempted in a number of ways. During the last several years, they closed certain military bases and government installations, and converted them into detention/death camps, which surpass anything that the Nazis or Japanese had during World War II. They have been spraying the skies with chemicals (chemtrails) to weaken the immune systems of people; and have, and will continue, to release deadly bacteria and viruses into the atmosphere (e.g. SARS, H1N1-Swine Flu Cocktail, etc). They have tainted, and will continue to taint, vaccines with deadly diseases. They have passed laws, that when enforced, will require doctors’ prescriptions for vitamins and supplements thereby making it difficult for people to treat themselves. They have nationalized healthcare putting them in control of our health care. There are bills before the US Congress calling for the outlawing of private vegetable gardens, thus requiring people to buy food from them. They have passed draconian laws, which have eliminated many other basic freedoms. Further, they are pushing genetically altered seeds, which do not reproduce. They have established an extensive surveillance system (including digital television that can be used to monitor people in their homes – now you know why the government agreed to subsidize conversion to digital television.), which has turned our environment into electronic concentration camps. These evil men will eliminate many people via nuclear, biological and chemical warfare. Such warfare will not only kill many people directly, but will poison our food and water supplies. And more.....
In short their plan calls for them to have complete control over the lives of all survivors. One of the premier mottos of Masonry, is ‘Order out of Chaos’. Once they have established an uncommon chaos and fear, they will require all to accept the Mark of the Beast (Rev. 13) in order to eat, drink, work, travel, obtain medical treatment, etc.
BUT........Our Heavenly Father has a plan !!! Remember that God always takes care of His people..........ALWAYS! We shall learn more about this plan later in this writing.
Additionally, it should be noted that Our Lady told us via Fr. Stefano Gobbi that the Beast Like a Leopard spoken of in Daniel 7 is Freemasonry. [Refer to #198] Further, she advised that the Beast Like a Lamb is Freemasonry infiltrated into the Church. Refer to the section on the Great Apostasy and the False Prophet below for discussions on Ecclesiastical Masonry.
Once world government has been established under the United Nations, the Antichrist will seize its control. [Refer to 22, 80, 302, 320, & 380.]
The Antichrist
The tyrant of the end times that rules the world, sets himself up as a "god" and persecutes the faithful Christians. The Antichrist is the first Beast of Revelation, the deceiver tyrant of Daniel 7,8,9 and 11, and the son of perdition of 2 Thessalonians 2.
The Antichrist is evil incarnate. He will mock Jesus, deny that Jesus is the Christ, and claim to be god. According to Our Lord’s messages via John Leary, the Antichrist is an Arab cleric (religious person) that is living in England at this time. He will go to Egypt to be anointed by the occult priests of the ancient Egyptian gods. The Antichrist will seize control of European Union and later the world government (3). Our Lady of LaSalette (approved by the Church as worthy of belief) told us that “Rome will lose the Faith and become the seat of the Antichrist.”. [Refer to “After the Warning” at the Call To Holiness site.].
Through John Leary, Jesus told us that not only is he living in England at this time, but that we have seen his public relations man. Many feel that this refers to Benjamin Crème who has been promoting the one who calls himself ‘Maitreya’. This Maitreya calls himself The World Teacher. Maitreya promotes religious pluralism, which is condemned by the Church. Essentially, religious pluralism holds that all religions worship the same god, only by different names. Hence, all religions can lead to Heaven. However, he adds a twist to it. That is, that we must all come together in a one-world New Age religion and worship him. Avoid this ‘Maitreya’! Do not look at his face or listen to his voice!
The Antichrist has extended powers from Hell. Through John Leary and Louise Tomkiel (yet-to-be approved) Jesus told us not to look at the image of the Antichrist, as he has demonic power to hypnotize us into worshipping him. Further, Jesus told us that after the Warning, it is imperative that we discard our televisions sets, computer monitors, stereos, radios and newspapers/magazines so that we do not see his image or hear his voice.
He will be duplicitous, and initially will appear as a man of peace. The Antichrist will preach to the masses in the large sports stadia that were constructed in recent years. During the 3 ½ years of the Tribulation, his true evil character will be revealed. He will be the worst tyrant the world has ever known, specifically persecuting Christians.
Through John Leary, Jesus advised that He will shorten time during the Tribulation by sending a huge earthquake (Mat 24:22). Such earthquake will knock the Earth off its axis, and cause it to spin faster (Isa 13 & Rev 6 & 11). As a result, there will be less than 24 hours in each day. [Refer to #406.]
He will force all to receive the Mark of the Beast (discussed below), in order to buy or sell. The Antichrist will persecute the Christians unlike ever before beheading many of them. [Refer to #385, 419 & 420 and Rev 20.]
The False Prophet
“Then I saw another beast which rose out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. It works great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of men; and by the signs which it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast, it deceives those who dwell on earth, bidding them make an image for the beast which was wounded by the sword and yet lived; and it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast should even speak, and to cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain." (cf. Rev. 13:11-15)
A few years ago, Our Lord stated the following to me: “If the First Beast is a man of duplicity, what can be expected of the Second Beast? Is not Satan a snake?” Clearly, the First Beast refers to the Antichrist, while the Second Beast refers to the False Prophet – both of whom are two-faced.
According to the prophecies via John Leary and Louise Tomkiel, the False Prophet (Anti-pope) will apostatize, and will attempt to lead the Church in the direction of the false one-world New Age religion. It is worthy of note that the doctrine of papal infallibility applies only when the true Pope teaches ex cathedra (emphasis added). That is when by virtue of his supreme Apostolic authority, he (a) teaches on faith and morals, and (b) teaches to the universal Church.
Historically, the Church has taught that as a Pope continues to have free will, he can teach heresy or apostatize. However, immediately upon doing so, he is ipso facto automatically deposed. Schismatics loose all jurisdiction, immediately. As such, he ceases immediately at such time to be the Pope. This is the teaching of the Fathers of the Church, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Robert Bellarmine and other doctors of the Church. Hence, his heretical teaching would fall outside of the doctrine of papal infallibility.
It is worthy of note that in defining Papal infallibility, the First Vatican Council attached the charism to office of the Papacy, not to the individual. The term ex cathedra, means ‘from the chair [of St. Peter]’. Hence, when such a Pope apostatizes, he immediately leaves the office of Pope, and the charism of Papal Infallibility remains with the ‘chair’ or office.
Some non-Catholics would hold that one should not follow the Catholic Church, as the False Prophet will arise from her ranks. This is nonsense! The Catholic Faith is sound regardless of the sins of the men who comprise the Church. If one who ate and drank with Jesus would betray Him, what can be expected of others? The fact that one of the Apostles committed a great sin, which lead to the immolation and death of Jesus, did not invalidate the teachings of Jesus. Similarly, the Catholic Faith will remain sound regardless of whether any such “pope” apostatizes. We reiterate that upon the apostasy of any “pope”, the Faithful are no longer required to obey his teachings after such act of apostasy.
Through John Leary and Louise Tomkiel, Our Lord advised that the successor to Pope John Paul II would be the Anti-pope. We shall see whether this prophecy will be realized or not during the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI.
Refer to “Ecclesiastical Masonry: The Beast Like a Lamb”, “To Protect the Faith” and “The Original Prayer to St. Michael” at the Call To Holiness site and #307, 308 & 309.].
The Great Apostasy & Great Schism
"We ask you, brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling with him, not to be shaken out of your minds suddenly, or to be alarmed either by a "spirit," or by an oral statement, or by a letter allegedly from us to the effect that the day of the Lord is at hand. Let no one deceive you in any way.
For unless the apostasy comes first and the lawless one is revealed, the one doomed to perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god and object of worship, so as to seat himself in the temple of God, claiming that he is a god-- do you not recall that while I was still with you I told you these things? " (cf. 2Th 2:1-5)
Name another time in which man has become more "advanced" (degraded) than that of our time. With his technology and medical science, man has elevated himself to a "god". Matters are explained no longer as spiritual, but are explained in terms of science and nature. Cures for diseases are thought of no longer as gifts from God, but as the result of sufficiently-funded scientific research.
Through contemporary prophets, Our Lord and Our Lady each stated that the world today is worse that in the days of Noah. Witness: abortions, homosexuality, illicit sex, deceit and violation of contracts, liberal theology, lack of personal responsibility, unprecedented weapons of mass destruction, divorce, murder, rape, DNA engineering, harvesting human organs from animals, medical experimentation which only 70 years ago were considered atrocities, cloning, theft, greed, genetically modifying nature, etc.
No other time has known illicit sex broadcast into every home via television, making the family environment a cesspool. Man has made materialism his golden calf. Since Adam, man has always sinned, but today he laughs at sin, even boasts of it. Man has lost the sense of sin and made it a lifestyle.
As stated above, the Blessed Virgin told us via Fr. Gobbi that the Great Apostasy exists within the Church at this time, but has yet to break out into the open.
Shortly before he was elected Pope, Pope John Paul II stated: “We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel." (Notable & Quotable, Karol Cardinal Wojtyla (who became Pope John Paul II), Wall Street Journal, Nov. 9, 1978.).
In 1998, Pope John Paul II took steps to clarify the Church's position on obedience, and any teaching contrary to Catholic doctrine by issuing his Apostolic Letter Motu Proprio AD TUENDAM FIDEM. At the Call To Holiness site, the writing, “To Protect the Faith”, discusses the above mentioned Apostolic Letter Motu Proprio, and certain Holy Scripture, the Didache and private prophecy. Read how the above mentioned Apostolic Letter clarifies Canon Law prohibiting ANYONE one from reforming or changing any teaching of the Catholic Church or its Pontiff, and punishing these unfaithful with excommunication......THIS INCLUDES THE POPE.
Witness the Pontificate of Pope John Paul II. It's been said that it appeared to have been orchestrated by Heaven! His pontificate was a consistent preparation for, and struggle against, the Evil of the End Times. In the light of his recent repeated references to the book of Revelation, and his recent statements to certain cardinals and bishops to "examine the signs of the times", it appears as though he was making a momentous effort to protect the Faith, and gather his flock before the storm.
We have been told that Freemasonry has infiltrated the Church, and that during the Tribulation the following will come under attack: (a) the Catholic Church as the one true Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ,
(b) the real presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist,
(c) the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (in particular, the Holy Words of Consecration), (d) devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, (e) the power and efficacy of the Holy Rosary, (f) the primacy of the Papacy, (g) the Sacrament of Matrimony, (h) the priesthood, (i) the Sacrament of Reconciliation, (j) the Faith and morality in general, and more. They will form a one-world New Age religion, which will worship gods and goddesses of the Earth. There is nothing new about ‘New Age’. They worship the same pagan gods and goddesses of the ancient Egyptians and the ancient Babylonians before them.
John Paul II dedicated his pontificate to restraining the lawlessness of the Tribulation. As predicted in Second Thessalonians above and in certain private prophecy, now that he has died the Great Apostasy, which has been slithering into the Church, will become manifest openly; and the Great Schism will occur.
"The work of the devil will infiltrate even the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate Me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres ...churches and altars sacked, the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them. " (Our Lady of Akita, October 13, 1973; approved by the Church as worthy of belief.)
Led by the False Prophet, the Church will split into two, and only a remnant will remain faithful to the historical teachings of the Church. Read and heed the “Catechism of the Catholic Church”! Pope John Paul II had it compiled for these times. Remain faithful to the historical teachings of the Catholic Church!
[Refer to “To Protect the Faith”, “The Original Prayer to St. Michael” and “Ecclesiastical Masonry: the Beast Like a Lamb” at the Call To Holiness site.]
The Abomination of Desolation
"And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off, and shall have nothing; and the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war; desolations are decreed.
And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause sacrifice and offering to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator." (cf. Daniel 9:26-27) n.b. The Hebrew word used is shabuwa, which means a "week of years" or seven years.
"When you see standing in the holy place the abomination that causes desolation spoken of through the prophet Daniel -- let the reader understand -- then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, a person on the housetop must not go down to get things out of his house, a person in the field must not return to get his cloak - for at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will be. And if those days had not been shortened, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect they will be shortened.". (cf. Mat 24:15-22).
According to prophecies through Fr. Stefano Gobbi and John Leary, this refers to the forthcoming time when the holy words of consecration are changed in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, thereby preventing transubstantiation, and thus making the host desolate of Our Lord's presence. A sacrilege is defined as the abuse of a sacrament, and this will certainly be an abomination.
According to the prophecies, after the one-world people seize Rome, and run the Catholic Church out of Rome; they will turn the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass into a satanic ritual, even worshiping an image of the Beast on altars formerly used by the Catholic Church. [Refer to “The Abomination of Desolation” and “Tribulation Update” at the Call To Holiness site.]
Christian Persecution
"...for it pertains to the appointed time of the end...a king of bold countenance, one who understands riddles, shall arise. His power shall be great, and he shall cause fearful destruction, and shall succeed in what he does, and destroy mighty men and the people of the saints." (cf. Dan 8:19-24).
“They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me. But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you of them.” (cf. Joh 16:2-4).
The persecutions of Christians during the Tribulation will be the greatest persecution of man since the beginning of time. As mentioned earlier, the US Patriot Acts require that citizens turn in ‘enemy combatants’ to the authorities, and the US President designates who are ‘enemy combatants’, unilaterally.
The detention camps exist. The Masons have designed their plan to control every aspect of our lives. Churches will loose their tax exempt status, and will be sacked. It will be illegal to convene in public in a Christian setting. The Church will return to the catacombs. The plan of the Masons is designed to control our lives completely. Those who refuse the Mark of the Beast, the Subdermal Microchip, will be taken by force to the death camps.
According to Leary and Tomkiel during the End Times, God’s Faithful will bear the images of a crosses on their foreheads. The Faithful will see the crosses on each other’s foreheads; while evil people will not see them, nor have such a cross on their foreheads. Priests and visionaries will have a triangle or a ring [Refer to #392; Rev 7 & 9.].
As mentioned earlier, God has a plan to protect His people. We shall discuss this plan in greater detail below. [Refer to #264, 267, 274, 301, 331, 375, 381, 390, 392, 401, 403 & 410.]
The Mark of the Beast
During the last 25 years, private prophecy has been very specific: The black beast as a leopard is Freemasonry. We have also been told that it is Freemasonry, which is behind the New World Order; and their plan is to control the world. Several have tried, and all have failed; but none have tried it the way that we have been told that the Masons are attempting to do it.
The premiere motto of Freemasonry is: 'Order Out Of Chaos'. Simply stated, they intend to throw the complete world into a state of fear, panic and chaos. Once they have succeeded in achieving worldwide chaos, they intend to solve it their way --- with them in complete control.
To create such chaos Heaven told us, and we are now seeing, that they will use
(a) nuclear, biological, chemical and conventional attacks upon man, animals, crops, and water supplies from both terrorists and from warring nations;
(b) manipulation of all financial and commodity markets, including energy, transportation and utilities;
(c) manipulation of the food supply; and
(d) manipulation of the weather (e.g. HAARP).
Further, they will control the availability of all health care, food, supplies and water. Once an uncommon and pervasive fear has been established, they will force acceptance of the Mark of the Beast (Rev 13) into the hand or forehead of many survivors in order to buy or sell ---- but not all survivors.
The Mark of the Beast is the Subdermal Microchip placed in the hand or forehead. Those who accept the Chip will be monitored via the Global Positioning Satellite System. Through John Leary and Louise Tomkiel, Our Lord warned that the Chip will enable evil men to transmit messages from their cell towers to the Chips, which will emit electronic charges into the central nervous system allowing them to control the minds of the recipients to worship the Antichrist.
Consider the 24th chapter of Isaiah, which reads: "Lo, the LORD empties the land and lays it waste; he turns it upside down, scattering its inhabitants: Layman and priest alike, servant and master, The maid as her mistress, the buyer as the seller, The lender as the borrower, the creditor as the debtor. The earth is utterly laid waste, utterly stripped, for the LORD has decreed this thing.
The earth mourns and fades, the world languishes and fades; both heaven and earth languish. The earth is polluted because of its inhabitants, who have transgressed laws, violated statutes, broken the ancient covenant. Therefore a curse devours the earth, and its inhabitants pay for their guilt; Therefore they who dwell on earth turn pale, and few men are left. The wine mourns, the vine languishes, all the merry-hearted groan. Stilled are the cheerful timbrels, ended the shouts of the jubilant, stilled is the cheerful harp. They cannot sing and drink wine; strong drink is bitter to those who partake of it.
Broken down is the city of chaos, shut against entry, every house. In the streets they cry out for lack of wine; all joy has disappeared and cheer has left the land. In the city nothing remains but ruin; its gates are battered and desolate. Thus it is within the land, and among the peoples, As with an olive tree after it is beaten, as with a gleaning when the vintage is done. These lift up their voice in acclaim; from the sea they proclaim the majesty of the LORD: "For this, in the coastlands, give glory to the LORD! In the coastlands of the sea, to the name of the LORD, the God of Israel!"
From the end of the earth we hear songs: "Splendor to the Just One!" But I said, "I am wasted, wasted away. Woe is me! The traitors betray: with treachery have the traitors betrayed! Terror, pit, and trap are upon you, inhabitant of the earth; He who flees at the sound of terror will fall into the pit; He who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the trap. For the windows on high will be opened and the foundations of the earth will shake. The earth will burst asunder, the earth will be shaken apart, the earth will be convulsed. The earth will reel like a drunkard, and it will sway like a hut; Its rebellion will weigh it down, until it falls, never to rise again." (cf. Isa 24:1-20)
A Sin that Will Not Be Forgiven
"And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If any one worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also shall drink the wine of God's wrath, poured unmixed into the cup of his anger, and he shall be tormented with fire and sulphur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up for ever and ever; and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name." (cf. Rev 14:9-11)
As we see from the citation above, anyone who willingly accepts the subdermal microchip placed in their body will go to Hell irrevocably upon his death. Willful acceptance of the Mark of the Beast constitutes a sin that will NOT be forgiven.
Modern Articles and Devices Containing the Chip
The following is a brief list of modern devices that contain a microchip that can be tracked by the agents of the New World Order. This list is not comprehensive:
Late model automobiles (those manufactured after 1984 have computers), cellular telephones, electronic pagers, national smart identification cards, smart driver's licenses, smart credit cards, smart passports & visas, personal digital assistants (pda's), satellite dishes, Fastrak & EZ Passes and other toll booth cards for tollways, automobile license plates, shoppers cards, gas station cards, student identification cards, passes for the work place, GPS positioning and locating devices, Onstar and LoJac automobile location systems, watches and bracelets with the chip, radio frequency identification tags (also known as RFID’s) in consumer goods including food and clothing, microwave ovens, late model appliances and electronics, and of course --- the Mark of the Beast, the subdermal microchip in the hand or forehead.
Modern Devices Monitored
The following is a brief list of modern devices in which we are monitored by the agents of the New World Order. This list is not comprehensive:
Telephones; cellular telephones; electronic mail (e-mail); the Internet/computers; high definition television; fax machines and cable television.
One can now see how the Masons have manipulated events, and are continuing to manipulate events, to further their evil agenda (e.g. false flag events such as the attack upon the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, the blowout of BP’s Macondo well off of the coast of Louisiana, USA, etc. Since September 11, 2001, they have been clamoring about the threat of ‘terrorism’, and taking away our freedoms. In April of 2010, US President Obama convened a Nuclear Security Summit of many nations in which they signed a document stating that the threat of nuclear terrorism is one of the greatest threats to global security, and agreed to defend against it collectively. Reflect upon this and reread Isa 24, 1Th 5 and #36, 135, 381, 401, 414 & 415.
DO NOT ACCEPT THE CHIP UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES !
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
Revelation 6 speaks of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. The rider with a bow on the white horse is the Masonic Council on Foreign Relations (whose logo is a rider on a white horse with bow and arrow drawn). The CFR ‘rides’ throughout the world conquering by stealth. They topple governments, and install republics with two political parties. Subsequently, they finance the campaigns of leading Masonic candidates in both parties ensuring CFR victories. Once their men are elected, they control the strings of the puppets. The rider of the black horse holding a scale represents a general bankruptcy. As of this writing, the international banking system of fiat money and fractional reserve lending is bankrupt. A bankruptcy, which was orchestrated.
The rider on the red horse represents war. As of this writing, the nations are poised for World War III, unlike ever before. The rider on the pale green horse represents pestilence and plagues. Using high altitude jet aircraft, the Masons have been spraying municipalities with chemicals (chemtrails) to weaken our immune systems.
It is a fact that SARS and the H1N1 flu cocktail were developed in test tubes. Additionally, their plan calls for the tainting of vaccines to inject live bacteria and viruses into people. This occurred in March of 2009. Also, Our Lord stated that ancient bacteria and viruses are being released into the atmosphere as glaciers melt. Further through Louise Tomkiel, He predicted that radiation would escape from nuclear power plants due to forthcoming earthquakes. [Refer to #276, 283, 358, 368, 387, 386, 380, 400 & 407].
It is worthy of note that the plagues of Revelation are antitypes of the plagues of Exodus. As such, they will be much worse. [Refer to “Tribulation Protection: the Blood of the Lamb” and “To the Refuges on Wings of Eagles” at the Call To Holiness site and to #384 & 390.]
Sky Signs
Within the last few years, there have been many predictions of signs in the sky alerting us to events of the End Times made by Jesus and Our Lady through various alleged mystics: the visionaries of Garabandal and Medjugorje, Father Stefano Gobbi, John Leary, Carol Ameche and Louise Tomkiel, to name a few (each of these continue to be under investigation by the Church). Our Lady stated that some signs will be explicable by scientists, while others will be inexplicable. In some cases, a number of unusual phenomena have occurred subsequent to the predictions.
Soon the messages from Heaven will cease. God will continue to let us know that He is watching over us by providing signs in the sky. [Refer to #313.]
Through St. Luke, Our Lord spoke to us about signs in the sky during the Tribulation. He said:
"There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roar of the sea and the waves. People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand…Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap. For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth. Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man." (Luk 21) Refer to “Sky Signs” at the Call To Holiness site.
Earth’s Poles & Glaciers
The Day of the Lord, which appears in Holy Scripture in many places, represents the climactic release of Our Heavenly Father's terrible wrath upon an unrepentant world shortly before the return of His Son in glory. It will be a time unprecedented in the history of mankind, in which the anger of God will be manifest in his nature, and the forces of evil will receive their due.
The Day of the Lord is not to be interpreted literally as a single twenty-four hour day, but rather an extended period of time. We see evidence of this in 2 Peter 3:8 where we are told that "with the Lord one day is as a thousand years".
The manner in which God manifests His wrath upon the earth is unknown precisely, but insight is provided throughout Scripture and certain private prophecy. We are told that the stars will fall from the sky, the sun will not give its light, the mountains will be laid low and swallowed up, the seasons will be altered, the earth will be shaken from its place, the seas will roar with huge waves, storms will rage, earthquakes will be plentiful, famine and disease will be widespread, etc. Simply stated, the earth will be in the state of turmoil.
The geologic record indicates the earth's magnetic poles have reversed many times during its existence. That is to say, that with the next polar reversal, compasses will point South instead of North. Further, evidence indicates that during the reversal process nature becomes chaotic. Specifically, the earth's core becomes unstable causing: significant movement of the tectonic plates resulting in massive earthquakes, increased volcanic activity, disruption in the earth's climatic conditions, increased tidal activity, disruption of the seasons and production of food, and increased solar radiation being absorbed throughout the globe (which reminds one of Rev 16:8-9).
Scientific evidence indicates that the earth is in the process of such a polar reversal currently. The current polar reversal began with a steady decrease of the earth's magnetic field about 150 years ago, or about the time that Our Lady appeared at LaSalette. You will recall that her message contained warnings about the earth being struck with calamities of all kinds, the seasons being altered and more. Coincidence? [Refer to the message of Our Lady of LaSalette contained in “After The Warning” at the Call To Holiness site. Also see #295, 349, 357, & 368]
The Three Days of Darkness
There have been many prophecies about the three days of darkness over the centuries. We have been told that only blessed candles will give light during such time, and that those present should not look out their windows. God will be punishing the evil at such time, and those who look out will die.
According to the prophecies of John Leary, the three days of darkness will be caused by the return of the comet of the Warning. It will strike the earth in the Atlantic Ocean when the armies are gathered at Armageddon. [Refer to Dan 2, Rev 16 & 18.]
The three days of darkness should be of no concern to those who respond to the call of their guardian angels to flee, as we will be at the refuges at such time. This is discussed in greater detail below. [Refer to #284 & 315.]
Remedy: Prayers of Consecration and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
In Holy Scripture, the term: ‘Israel’ refers to ‘the people of God’. With the immolation and death of Jesus on the cross, the presence of God was transferred from the synagogue to the Church (witness the tearing of the curtain of the Holy of Holies as Jesus expired on the cross). As a result, the Church became the New Israel (Gal 4 & 6; Luk 1:16) [Refer to #396].
Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords [1TI 6, Rev 17 & 19]. Further, Jesus was born in the line of King David (Luk 1). In the Davidic kingdoms, the kings had several wives. The one who sat at his right hand was the king’s mother, the Queen Mother. Her purpose was to serve as the advocate and intercessor of the people of Israel to her son. This is chiefly because sons have difficulty turning down the requests of their mothers (Joh 2)
"…Then Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, and the king stood up to meet her and paid her homage. Then he sat down upon his throne, and a throne was provided for the king's mother, who sat at his right. "There is one small favor I would ask of you," she said. "Do not refuse me." "Ask it, my mother," the king said to her, "for I will not refuse you…". (cf. IKi 2:19-20)
As Jesus is King of kings and we are the New Israel, the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Queen Mother of the New Israel.
The Blessed Mother of God (Joh 1) is the fairest daughter of the Father, the Mother of the Son and the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. She has a relationship with the Holy Trinity unlike any other creature. Her role as Advocate for the children of God is unlike any other creature’s as well (n.b. she is a creature, as human as you or I – but a very special creature due to her relationship with the Holy Trinity.). Our prayer to the Blessed Mother is “pray for us”.
In the New Testament, with the announcement of the new and eternal King and Kingdom of God (cf. Lk. 1:32-33), so too humanity receives a new Queen Mother, as principal advocate for the people of God in presenting their needs to Jesus Christ, the King of kings. Her advocacy is manifest clearly at Cana, interceding on behalf of those without physical wine, but ultimately for the spiritual and Eucharistic wine of her Son (Joh 2:1-10). At Calvary, the Crucified King presents his Mother and Queen to the world as gift to all in his Kingdom (Joh 19:27).
And in Revelation, the new Queen Mother in the universal and everlasting Kingdom of Christ is crowned with twelve stars (Rev. 12:1), as she, in battle array, continues her life and death advocacy for humanity against the spiritual warring of the Dragon-Adversary.
"Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple; and there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail. And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; she was with child and she cried out in her pangs of birth, in anguish for delivery.
And another portent appeared in heaven; behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads. His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth.
And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child, that he might devour her child when she brought it forth; she brought forth a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne, and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days." (cf. Rev. 11:19-12:6)
"And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the man child. And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert, unto her place, where she is nourished for a time and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth, after the woman, water, as it were a river: that he might cause her to be carried away by the river. And the earth helped the woman: and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.". (cf. Rev. 12:13-16)
(n.b. the Greek word eremos (which means 'wilderness' or 'desert') was used in both instances above, but the translator chose to use 'wilderness' in one place and 'desert' in another.
It is a fact that the authors of the books of the Bible did not break their writings into chapters. This is a convention added by the Church centuries later to aid in reference. Hence, we can gain greater insight as to the meaning of the word 'woman' by taking this into consideration in reading the last verse of Rev 11 together with Rev 12.
The Blessed Virgin Mary is the 'New Ark of the Covenant'. While the Old Testament ark of the covenant carried the written word of God; for nine months, the Blessed Virgin carried the Incarnate Word (Joh 1:1-14).
The Old Testament ark of the covenant remains on earth hidden in a cave (2Ma 2:5). It can not possibly be in Heaven. Whereas, the New Ark of the Covenant was assumed body and soul into Heaven (a singular privilege – God would not allow the womb that carried His flesh to become food for worms.). Therefore, the Ark of the Covenant that St. John saw in Heaven had to be the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God.
Furthermore, the Mother of God has appeared on earth subsequently with a crown of stars, and clothed with the sun and with the moon at her feet (e.g. Our Lady of Guadalupe).
We have additional assurance that the above passage refers to the Blessed Virgin in that it states "she brought forth a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne". Psalm 2:9 confirms that the phrase, "rules with a rod of iron", refers to Jesus. Additional confirmation is provided in the verbiage, "but her child was caught up to God and to his throne". This can be no other than Jesus, the Son of God.
Lastly, note that the woman wears a crown. Which type of women wear crowns? Queens and Queen Mothers.
As discussed above, the Tribulation is to last 3 ½ years. 'Time, times and a half', and '1260 days' relate to such 3 1/2 years.
Your attention is directed to the sentence: “And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert [wilderness], unto her place, where she is nourished for a time and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.” Gen 3:15 reads: “I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.” [DRV & Latin Vulgate]. At Fatima, in speaking of the End Times Our Lady stated: “...But in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph...”
To Fr. Gobbi she stated: “…For this, I invite all to consecrate themselves to my Immaculate Heart, and I am extending this, my request, to the most extreme limits of the earth through my Marian Movement of Priests. In this way, I am offering you a safe refuge, which the Most Holy Trinity has prepared for you, for these stormy times of the great tribulation and of the painful trial which has come for the Church and for all humanity.…"
This is how she wages battle with the Red Dragon. This is how she crushes the head of the serpent. This is how the Triumph of her Immaculate Heart will be realized. Satan's ploy is to draw the whole world into wholesale rejection of God's Holy Will.
To be sure, Jesus defeated evil through His Passion and Death on the cross, but He reserved the final crushing blow for His Mother (You will recall that at the Annunciation, the Blessed Virgin was well aware that the Messiah was to die a horrible death.
With her fiat, she agreed to sacrifice her Son in a horrible death for the salvation of mankind. At Calvary, she suffered a crucifixion of the heart as she watched her Son suffer a horrible death to which she had agreed. – Luk 2). It was the Holy Trinity who created Lucifer, and they could have destroyed him with just a thought.
But they had a different plan. Our Heavenly Father chose a meek and humble obedient virgin to crush the head of the powerful, prideful and disobedient Satan. We have been told repeatedly that when Satan springs his plan to seize the whole world in his grasp via his Antichrist and False Prophet of Revelation, Our Lady will rescue those consecrated to her Immaculate Heart and guide them to safe refuges.
Accordingly, we ask the you join us in making the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary:
An Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
I, (your name), a faithless sinner-- renew and ratify today in thy hands, O Immaculate Mother, the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before.
In the presence of all the heavenly court I choose thee this day, for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to thee, as thy slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity. Amen.
[Refer to “Prayers of Consecration and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary” at the Call To Holiness site.]
Remedy: Refuges
"When you see the desolating abomination spoken of through Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then those in Judea must flee to the mountains, a person on the housetop must not go down to get things out of his house, a person in the field must not return to get his cloak. Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days. Pray that your flight not be in winter or on the sabbath, for at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will be. And if those days had not been shortened, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect they will be shortened." (cf. Mat 24:15-22) (Also, see Mar 13:14-19)
St. Luke recorded the above mentioned discussion of Our Lord differently: "Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it." . (cf. Luk 21:21) .
The refuges discussed in the previous section exist. I am a member of a group that was called by Our Lord to build such a refuge. Indeed, it is located in the countryside; and has a natural spring on it, which we were told would have healing properties (as at Lourdes, France).
Jesus told us through John Leary and Louise Tomkiel that we should call upon His Name when we see
(1) a world famine;
(2)schism (division) in the Catholic Church;
(3) mandatory subdermal micro computer chips in the body;
(4) mandatory vaccines for a pandemic virus; and
(5) martial law.
Also, we should call upon Jesus’ Name:
(6) upon the failure of the economy of the USA & its bankruptcy;
(7) when the North American Union (merging of Canada, USA & Mexico) takes place;
(8) when the Antichrist declares himself;
(9)when people start dying in large numbers from pandemic disease;
(10) when riots for food begin;
(11) when we see men in black trying to take captives in the USA;
(13) upon religious persecution;
(14) when they threaten to kill Christians; and
(15) at the beginning of the Tribulation.
At such time, our guardian angels will lead us to the nearest refuge. It is IMPERATIVE that we leave IMMEDIATELY upon being called by our guardian angel. Those who fail to leave immediately, will be captured by evil men, taken to the death camps and martyred. We should be ready to leave when the economy crashes. Further, He told us to have our bicycles and backpacks packed and ready to go with some warm clothing, food, supplies, etc. [Refer to “To the Refuges on Wings of Eagles” at the Call To Holiness site and to “Home Protection – Food and Water Purification” below.].
Through John Leary, Jesus asked us to prepare His priests for the forthcoming Tribulation by preparing them to flee to the refuges. He told us to be prepared to help guide the priests with His help via prayer when He warns us that it is time to flee.
Food, water, supplies, clothing and shelter will be provided miraculously when those consecrated to the Immaculate Heart are called later by their guardian angels into hiding at the refuges at the time of the persecution of Christians during the Tribulation.
Further, we will be invisible to evil men once we are underway traveling to the refuges and while residing there. (Acts 12)
[Refer to “To the Refuges on Wings of Eagles” at the Call To Holiness site and to #390 & 402.]
Remedies: Home Protection – Food & Water Purification
Our Lord has been preparing us for the Tribulation for many years. In the LINKS section of the Yahoo-Era of Peace site under the subdirectory entitled: “Home Protection – Food & Water Purification” we have accumulated such messages relating to physical preparations.
There you will find messages in which He told us how to purify food and water; to take Hawthorn supplements to boost our immune systems; to prepare back packs with some warm clothing, supplies and food to take with us as we leave for the refuges, to have bicycles in working order to ride to the refuges, and much more. He told us to set aside some extra food, water, fuel and supplies for Him to multiply during the Tribulation (1Ki 17, Joh 6).
Jesus told us to bless our homes in specific manner with blessed salt, holy water (blessed by a Catholic priest), and blessed crucifixes & medals. These are the blood of the Lamb that will protect us during the Tribulation. They will not only protect us from the plagues of revelation, but will make our homes invisible to evil men who will be seeking us. Refer to “Tribulation Protection: The Blood of the Lamb” at the Call To Holiness site for the detailed messages of Jesus.

THE DAYS OF ELIJAH ARE HERE! [Refer to #384 & 390.]
Remedies – Other
Remember that the purpose of prophecy is not to predict the future, but to explain the will of God for the present, and therefore show the right path to take for the future.
· Unconditional trust in His Divine Providence – He will provide! Trust is one of the highest forms of love. God wants to be loved. It is impossible for Him to disregard a trusting soul. Jesus told St. Faustina that the more that a person trusts, the more they receive.
· The Sacraments – Receive the sacraments as often as you can. When in the state of mortal sin, you MUST make a sacramental confession in order to receive Holy Communion. [Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph 1385]
· Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Great graces are received in this manner. When praying the rosary in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, the Immaculate and Sacred Hearts are united in a special way. Great strength and peace are obtained in this manner
· Holy Water and Sacramentals. Use holy water and blessed salt frequently to bless your house, car, children, pets, etc. Blessed sacramentals are useful in warding off Satan. He hates them. The image of the Sacred Heart around your neck, and in your house provide very special graces. Use and wear the St. Benedict crucifix and the Brown Scapular. "O stupid Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? (cf. Gal 3:1)
· The Rosary. The Rosary is extremely powerful. Praying it has stopped the forces of nature, and wars. During the 1980’s the bishops of the Philippines asked their parishioners to pray the rosary to defeat the onerous Marcos regime. Shortly thereafter, the Marcos regime imploded, and he was run out of the country. During World War II, Fr. Schiffer and his brother priests lived in Hiroshima only 8 blocks from ground zero – the spot where the atomic bomb was dropped.
They escaped the powerful force of the blast, the deadly gamma radiation and the intense heat of over 15,000 degrees Fahrenheit unharmed! Later when interviewed, Fr. Schiffer stated that they remained unharmed, because they lived the message of Our Lady of Fatima and prayed the rosary daily.
Pray the rosary daily. Buy an audio tape of it being said, and pray with it as you commute to work each day. Our Lady said that each bead of the Rosary said is a tear of joy in heaven. She also said that when you pray the Rosary, you can multiply its impact by (1) asking all of the angels and saints to join with you in reciting it, and (2) uniting it with all of the Masses, rosaries and prayers said on that day. [Refer to ‘Thank You For Having Respond To My Call’ at the Call To Holiness Site and to #278 & 343.].
The power of prayer is incomprehensible, and can change prophesized events. Consider the following: “In those days, when Hezekiah was mortally ill, the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, came and said to him: "Thus says the LORD: 'Put your house in order, for you are about to die; you shall not recover.'"
He turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD: "O LORD, remember how faithfully and wholeheartedly I conducted myself in your presence, doing what was pleasing to you!" And Hezekiah wept bitterly. Before Isaiah had left the central courtyard, the word of the LORD came to him: "Go back and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people: 'Thus says the LORD, the God of your forefather David: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears.
I will heal you. In three days you shall go up to the LORD'S temple; I will add fifteen years to your life. I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; I will be a shield to this city for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.'" (cf. 2Ki 20:1-6)
· The Angels and Saints. Call upon the angels and saints for assistance in times of need. Saint Joseph, the Protector, has been declared the saint of these times, and has been given special power [Refer to #226.]. Call upon the Archangels: St. Michael for protection, St. Gabriel for strength, and St. Raphael for healing [Refer to ‘Heaven and Earth Are Uniting’ at the Call To Holiness Site.]. Pray to your guardian angels daily.
· The Devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ – a very powerful devotion that is particularly efficacious during the Tribulation. [Refer to #336,337 & 340]
· The Chaplet of Divine Mercy. [Refer to #44.]
· Indulgences. Through her power granted by Jesus Christ, the Church has granted certain indulgences for acts of piety and devotion, etc. that remove temporal punishment due to our sins. Remember that at end of the Warning we will see where we would have resided in either Heaven, Purgatory or Hell if we died then. Use indulgences to make your after life and Warning experience more pleasant experiences. A list of partial and plenary indulgences is available in the LINKS section of the Yahoo Era of Peace site under the subdirectory entitled: “Prayers and Prayer Petitions Online”. (Act 26).
”He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust." For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence; he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. Because you have made the LORD your refuge, the Most High your habitation, no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent. For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot. Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation.” (Psa 91)
Jesus said: “Now when these things begin to take place, look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." (Cf. Luk 21:28)
Rejoice! We win! Jesus is returning soon!
Marana tha!
May Almighty God bless and protect you and your family.

Monthly message from Anne, a lay apostle
July 1, 2011 Monthly Message
On the first of every month, our Lord gives Anne a new message about His call to service.
July 1, 2011
Jesus
My dear apostles, do you see how I am working through you? Be alert to My presence in your day and, as a grace, I will give you a glimpse of what I am accomplishing. Look for little blessings going out to others. Look for flashes of consolation in suffering or calming of your heart when your heart feels anxious. You see, dear apostles, not only do I move through you to others, but I minister to you in a continuous way so that you are sustained. I want you to be peaceful. I want you to be calm. I want you to understand that if you say no to Me, there are others who will not be comforted and others who will not be blessed and instructed through you. You, My beloved apostles who remain firm in service, act as holy hands and hearts. Your holy hands and your holy hearts are used to gently tap others, into service, into healing and into love for Me and all of the Father's children on earth. How earnestly I ask the Father for greater blessings for you. How earnestly I prompt you, through the Spirit, to continue on in service. I know that there are times when you need encouragement, so at this time, I will send you evidence of either your progress or of the effect of your willingness to serve on others. Look for this, dear apostles, and then you will know that I am with you and that I am using your presence on earth. When you see this, be at peace. Gird yourself in holiness and prepare for further service, not less service. You are important to Me and I count you as an asset in this time of change.

Messages to John Leary June 15-29,2011
Wednesday, June 15, 2011:
Jesus said: “My people, some people try to interpret My mission on earth, but they do not know My Mind or the many intentions that I had when I was on the earth. You are fortunate that My evangelists were empowered by the Holy Spirit to write down all that I told them. This is why the Scriptures that you read at every Mass have meaning that can be used by My people every day. My main purpose in coming to earth is to give every soul the opportunity for salvation of their soul in heaven. My death and resurrection have ransomed all souls from their sins. The gates of heaven have been opened, and I have given you My sacraments for all your needed graces. By Confession you can ask My forgiveness of your sins, and by Communion you can receive My Real Presence into your souls. Baptism and Confirmation give My faithful the grace of the Holy Spirit to evangelize others. The formation of My Church through My apostles gave you the priests and bishops that can dispense these sacraments, and the Church is the guide to interpreting My words in Scripture. I sought out people to believe in My Word, and to establish love relationships with Me and their neighbors. Many came to believe in Me through My healing miracles. As you view all that I did on earth, you can see that truly I fulfilled the many intentions that My Father requested.”
Jesus said: “My people, you should not criticize other people for their actions because you should not be passing judgment on them. I am the only One to make judgments on people. There are some people who even criticize others for doing what they do. If you are going to preach My Word, you need to get your own spiritual house in order. If you teach one thing, but you are committing the same sin, then you lose your credibility by being a hypocrite. This is why you need to give good example in your actions so you are practicing what you preach. I told you about the Pharisees to follow what they teach, but do not follow their actions.”
Jesus said: “My people, in older days the average worker had a good work ethic, and workers took pride in their work. Today, there is a large part of the work force that wants to do just the bare minimum to earn their wage. There are some over achievers who want to improve their work by coming up with new ideas to get the same product for less money. In many companies it is the good workers who carry the rest who are not putting out as much effort. There are new problems in today’s work force that starts with outsourcing cheap labor. An American worker now has to compete with cheap labor in poor third world countries. Unless that worker is in a technical field, it may be difficult to compete. The basic problem is that there are fewer good paying jobs that are available. With such a high unemployment rate, many are satisfied to get unemployment checks for two years, or get government aid from welfare or disability. You have read data that said 46% of the people are working to support the rest. Even in the Early Church, you did not get supper unless you worked for it. When fewer work for a living, it puts a harder burden on the workers because they are taxed higher to support the welfare state. As deficits and taxes go up, there will come a time when the workers will go on strike for a fairer part of their salary. Pray for your workers, as those getting entitlements may have to take cuts in their payments.”
Thursday, June 16, 2011:
Jesus said: “My people, in all of your lives you are going to have some smooth days with plenty of sun. You are also going to have cloudy days without much light, and even rainy days that could try your patience. These are the ups and downs of life that test your faith. Today, you have My ‘Our Father’ prayer which is about depending on Me for your daily necessities, but also how to handle forgiveness of your faults and the faults of others. At the end of the reading there is an emphasis on not holding any grudges on anyone for their misdeeds. These guidelines are what I want My faithful to follow, but in life it can be difficult to carry out these things in your actions. Because you have a weakness to sin, you are going to have occasions when you fail to live up to My laws. I have given you My sacrament of Reconciliation where your sins can be forgiven, and My love is restored in your heart and soul. I look out for you in all of your daily needs, so trust in Me by asking for what you need with the assurance that your prayers will be answered. Make your daily prayers so much a part of your life that you cannot go on without them. You show your love for Me when you pray. Remember also how I asked you to make up any prayers that you may have missed on the previous day.”
Prayer Group:
Jesus said: “My people, you have seen a few pictures where you could feel a beating heart. This picture of My Divine Mercy is a special blessing for those who pray before this image. My heart is burning with love for My people, and this vision of a beating heart in this picture shows you vividly how much I care for all of you. Continue to pray your Divine Mercy chaplet in front of this image that is holy.”
Jesus said: “My people, this vision is one of My miracles of the Eucharist in Venezuela. This bleeding Host is another example of how I am constantly suffering for the sins of mankind. It pains Me also that there are many Catholics who do not believe in My Real Presence in My Blessed Sacrament. When you receive Me in the consecrated Host and consecrated Wine, you are truly eating My Body and drinking My Blood. These miracles of My Eucharistic Hosts are given for the unbelievers to believe in My Real Presence.”
Jesus said: “My people, the relics of the saints and of My True Cross should be revered and used in your healing ministries. These relics will help you in fighting off demons, and they are instrumental in healing. Call on My Name when you are blessing people, and call on My Most Precious Blood for physical healing and spiritual healing. I have an abundance of graces, and you can ask for My graces through My instruments of healing gifts and relics.”
Jesus said: “My people, there are some saints whose bodies have remained incorrupt. This again is a special grace to show you these miracles, and it is a sign that one day your bodies will be resurrected with your souls. Some people have difficulty in believing things that they cannot see. These physical miracles are given to help those who are weak in their faith. Give praise and glory to Me for allowing these miracles to strengthen your faith.”
Jesus said: “My people, some of you have witnessed further miracles in blood liquefying, statues or pictures weeping oil or blood, and a holy scent of roses in holy places. These are miracles to show that heaven is sad over the many sins and injustices being performed by man. You have witnessed this holy scent of roses at the place of My Crucifixion and with certain visionaries. All of these signs are again meant to witness the truth of My Word and to accentuate holy places.”
Jesus said: “My people, you have heard many testimonies of near death experiences where some have seen heaven or hell. The life review that is experienced, wakes up many souls to the seriousness of their sins and how they offend Me. Some may see their place of judgment, but they are given a special grace to return to their bodies for a second chance to improve their lives. Most souls see the need to get closer to Me, but some will suffer more in purgatory for not changing their lives. Learn from these people why it is necessary to lead a holy life to gain heaven.”
Jesus said: “My people, the souls in purgatory are truly suffering, but they are all promised to be with Me one day in heaven. These are saved souls, but they need purification to make them worthy to enter heaven. These souls may be allowed at times to seek prayers from the living souls who may sense their need for prayers. I have asked you to have Masses and prayers said for the deceased, especially those in your family and your friends. You have witnessed many stories of how these souls in purgatory are requesting prayers. Remember to pray for the souls in purgatory, especially for those souls that no one is praying for.”

Jesus said: “My people, in today’s Gospel you have a kernel of life in My Words: ‘Where your treasure lies, so lies your heart.’ What is meant here is you either hold Me close to your heart or your money. Those, who are selfish, buy everything for themselves without regard for others. In this case their treasure is money, and this is where their heart is. For the Christian, you should share your wealth with the poor, the Church, and your family. If you are leaving out the poor, then you need to spend less on your family. When people are strapped with lower incomes and higher inflated expenses, then donations have to be cut back to balance the budget. Still make an effort to give something to your food shelves, the poor, or victims of natural disasters. Remember that I love a cheerful giver who does not hold back even a little for the poor.”

Jesus said: “My people, every day that is given to you is another opportunity to serve Me the best that you can. Your frail bodies are faced with your human needs for food, water, clothing, and shelter. But do not worry or be anxious over these needs because I know what you need, and I will help you to obtain them. Be prudent to do what is necessary, but do not spend more effort on that which is unnecessary. Be thankful that you have a job or an income to pay your bills. You can even provide help for those who are unemployed and in need of their necessities. (Matt. 6:33) ‘But seek first the Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be given you besides.’ Trust in My help every day and you will not be anxious about today or tomorrow. The fire in the vision is how you are being purified as you are tested by evil temptations and the problems that come up. You may have to deal with health problems or repairs to your house or car. Whatever you have to face, keep a good disposition without letting things disturb your peace. Everyone has to face the same life situations that you are dealing with. It is how you deal with adversity that will test your true trust in Me.”
Jesus said: “My people, this latest volcanic eruption in Chile is very much like the one in Iceland that disrupted may airplane routes because planes cannot fly through the ash. You are seeing another natural disaster that is causing large evacuations. I have warned you to have masks as a protection for the ash of volcanoes or deadly viruses. Some of this ash has already circled around the globe and is returning to the original site. If enough ash stays suspended in the upper atmosphere to block the sun, you could see a cooling effect and possibly a change in the weather. Chile has had some severe earthquakes and these events can trigger old volcanoes along the Pacific Rim. Pray for the people in this area to help them avoid any deaths by following their evacuation orders.” (Cordon Caulle volcano)
Sunday, June 19, 2011: (Trinity Sunday, Father’s Day)
God the Father said: “I AM is giving you this message as you celebrate one of My feast days along with your human fathers. My Son in recent days has given you My prayer in the ‘Our Father’. You pray to Me in your rosaries and I love all of you dearly for remembering Me in your day. The first reading refers to Moses and the Ten Commandments that I have given to all of you as a means to live a holy life. You also are celebrating the Blessed Trinity as I had My only Begotten Son, Jesus, come and redeem you. The Holy Spirit brings life into your souls as you are conceived. The Holy Spirit is the love in the Spirit that unites Myself and My Son. Even as you are celebrating these feasts, I have given you a beautiful sunny day to share in My creation. You take for granted My many gifts that you should be thanking Me for in your prayers. Give praise and glory to all Three Persons of the Blessed Trinity.”
Jesus said: “My people, what you are seeing in this vision is the current high radioactivity still coming forth from these Japanese reactors. If you had a special viewer that could see radioactivity, you could see a green glow around the three reactors that suffered meltdowns. Even your latest news said that the water was too radioactive for people or robots to work on any repairs. As the water needs to be replaced to cool down the nuclear fuel, much of this radioactive water is being dumped into the ocean. After several weeks the radioactive iodine will dissipate. There still could be a bad effect on the marine life in this area. These reactors still need to be contained in some way as at Chernobyl. Until this heat can be controlled, you will continue to see this problem with radioactive water. Many countries are taking a new look at starting new nuclear reactors and even some are stopping existing plants. It will be difficult to take these nuclear reactors off line without some backup energy source. In addition to looking at nuclear plants, these same countries are searching for viable energy sources that are safe and can provide enough power to fulfill each country’s needs. Pray for solutions to the energy needs that people are demanding from their power plants.”
Monday, June 20, 2011:
Jesus said: “My people, some people may question this talk of having a wooden plank in someone’s eye. In the language of My day people used hyperboles or exaggerations of speech to make a point clear and obvious. Man has a tendency to want to correct other people’s faults without thinking that his own faults may be just as bad. The message here is for everyone to work on his or her own faults and improve spiritually before you can try to give advice to others about their faults. Do not be hypocrites in criticizing others for something that you are doing in your own actions. Allow Me to be the judge of people’s actions because you each have enough to answer for in your own actions. Rather than criticize people, your best approach should be a good example of your own actions when you perform good works for others. Your actions speak much louder than your words, so be attentive to how you are witnessing your faith to others.”
Jesus said: “My people, this incense cloud over My Real Presence in My Host is what you are seeing today. In the Old Testament there was a cloud of God the Father over the tent of Moses. This love of God the Father and Myself radiates out from this cloud of power. My love goes out to all people who need both physical and spiritual healing. My power went out from the prophet to heal Naaman from his leprosy. That same power went out from My hands to heal the ten lepers. Even today, My healing goes out from My healing ministers to touch many with physical and spiritual healing. Give thanks to Me for all the gifts of healing that people are still experiencing.”
Tuesday, June 21, 2011: (St. Aloysius Gonzaga)
Jesus said: “My people, this account of Abram shows you his generosity in settling a potential problem over who should have which land. Lot chose the well watered land near Sodom and Gomorrah, and Abram was rewarded with a promise of many descendants on his choice of land. It is better to make peaceful compromises than to have constant wars that have occurred throughout history over land and money. This example of Abram could be an answer for the many wars that you are seeing in the Arab countries and in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some of these wars are instigated by the one world people for gain in money in selling weapons or for the oil on the land. The latest conflicts in the Arab countries are changing old regimes with a goal to raise oil prices by threatening the oil supplies. These powerful men behind the scenes are not seeking compromises, but they have a desire for control in money and power. Just as Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for their sins, so America is going to suffer its own demise because of its sins. Because man cannot learn from history, your people are doomed to repeat it with your own fall. Be prepared to leave for My refuges when the coming persecution will attack you.”
Jesus said: “My people, there are some people who accumulate wealth for its own sake. I know what you need, and I will see to it that you have your necessities. Sometimes people have more trust in their money than they have trust in My help. Having too much wealth can corrupt people, and they may feel that they do not have to depend on Me. You would much rather store your spiritual treasure in heaven than be concerned about accumulating any money or gold on earth. Remember the Gospel reading recently that said: ‘Where your treasure lies, so lies your heart.’ If you have excess wealth, you could share it with the poor or those in need in your family. Today’s Gospel speaks of the golden rule which says to do unto others what you would want them to do to you. Following My ways of life will lead you to heaven through the narrow gate. Give praise and thanks to Me for all the gifts that I give you. Remember that you are dependent on Me for everything, even for those who do not realize or accept this truth.”
Wednesday, June 22, 2011: (St. John Fisher)
Jesus said: “My people, in today’s Gospel I am warning you to beware of false prophets. The Antichrist, who is already announcing himself, will be claiming himself to be Me and the expected one of all religions. He will claim to be a man of peace, but he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Do not believe in or worship this man, and do not take his mark or chip in the body. He will be truly possessed by a demon and he will have demonic powers to try and get you to worship him. After the Warning I told you to remove your TVs and computers out of your houses so you can avoid looking at his face and avoid listening to his voice. When he declares himself, it will begin the tribulation when I warned you to leave for My refuges of protection. Just as the early Christians were martyred for their faith, so these evil ones will be seeking to kill all Christians and patriots. This will be a time of persecution and evil that you have yet to see. This time will be occurring in your life time in the not too distant future. My Warning experience will occur first to prepare all souls for this time of evil. By the Antichrist’s fruits of evil you will know who he is.”
Jesus said: “My people, you are soon going to see a time of increasing persecution of Christians all over the world. It will be at that time when My faithful will need to seek out My refuges of protection. You will be led by your guardian angels to places of My Blessed Mother’s apparitions; places of holy ground that have adored My Blessed Sacrament, or at monasteries; also at places of caves. I have asked you to have tents, sleeping blankets, and backpacks loaded with your physical and spiritual needs. You may need some food, water, clothes, flashlights and masks for several days of travel to the nearest refuge. If you have fuel, you can use your car, but have some bicycles in case you cannot find fuel. Call on Me to protect you from the evil ones who will be trying to kill you. Living at My refuges may be difficult, but the tribulation will be shortened for the sake of My elect. During this trial you will be totally dependent on Me for providing you food, water, and a shelter. Pray daily for the strength to get through this test, but I will send you My Host every day for your spiritual food. Trust in Me that I will care for you, but you will be praying more for sinners than you are now. Give thanks and praise to Me for looking after My faithful in this evil age.”
Thursday, June 23, 2011:
Jesus said: “My people, this story of Ishmael, the son of Haggar, represents the offspring of Abram from Sarah’s maid. This was Abram’s only heir until later when Sarah had Isaac. These two children of Abram were the beginnings of the Jews in Isaac and the Arabs from Ishmael. As you see the Middle East today, it is prophetic that these two peoples are still contesting for the land in Israel. I started My Church among the Jews and Christianity has spread throughout the world. Now in these end days you are seeing also a conflict between the Muslims and the Christians. As you approach the time of tribulation, you will see the Antichrist leading the Muslims against My believers who will be protected at My refuges. This history from Genesis shows you the roots of today’s problems where these descendants are still fighting over the same land. Be grateful that I am giving My faithful the instructions for making refuges, and eventually directing My faithful to where they are located. My refuges will be My havens of protection until I return to defeat all of these evil ones.”
Prayer Group:
Jesus said: “My people, you know how much I desire peace and love all over the world, but the devil has stirred up wars and has encouraged hate among different nations. As individuals it is hard to stop the fighting, but My people can pray for peace and an end to hostilities. Wars result in death and destruction which is why wars do not have any good results. Work and pray to inspire My love among all peoples so you can live in harmony.”
Jesus said: “My people, in several countries in Europe there have been financial threats of near bankruptcy. These countries, including Greece, have had to rely on the IMF(International Monetary Fund) and the European Union for funds to protect them from going into bankruptcy. As a means of securing needed loans, Greece has been forced to set up austerity budgets which have put people out of work, and have allowed less money for entitlements. As a result of these austerity measures, the people have demonstrated in the streets against the government. Greece should be an example to America how your Treasury Bonds can also be downgraded because of your deficits and your increasing National Debt.”
Jesus said: “My people, you know how much you are happy to be in your comfortable homes. Imagine if you lost your home to a natural disaster, and how lost you would feel. Pray for these homeless people, and help them in any way that you could donate your money or time to help them with their daily necessities. Some aid groups are giving some immediate help, but pray that they can get their jobs back and get back on their way to recovery. Clearing the debris and rebuilding homes takes a lot of money and effort by neighbors helping each other.”
Jesus said: “My people, your country is having a period of high unemployment as a result of your recession and banking crisis. It is important for your children to get the best education that they can get because there are many people competing for every available job. Pray for your graduates that they could continue into college or find a good job for their livelihood. It is a nice celebration for their scholastic accomplishment, but they also need to be prepared to enter the work force.”
Jesus said: “My people, you know how much I love all of you, but you also know that I think homosexual acts are an abomination. When Adam and Eve were the first people married, it was intended to procreate children in a natural setting of love. Throughout the years marriage between a man and a woman has been attacked by divorce, living together in sin without marriage, separation, and now homosexual marriage. Because your society is broken, it does not change My Commandments concerning the sexual sins. Any acts outside of the marriage bond are mortal sins and require Confession to be forgiven. This is why it is important to encourage your legislators to stand up for marriage of a man and a woman in voting against homosexual marriages.”
Jesus said: “My people, world events are showing you how your financial system is approaching bankruptcy. With signs of problems in the oil countries, you are seeing potential fuel shortages and a coming world famine. You can also see that the one world people are about to introduce their new world order with the Antichrist as their leader. Because of all of these prophesies of evil coming, I have inspired certain faithful to set up refuges where the rest of My faithful may come for protection. Pray for those who are building refuges and support them with your prayers and your finances.”
Jesus said: “My people, you are seeing an increase in evil entering into power in the world. There are forces of good and angels on one side, and those in the occult with demons on the other side. I need My faithful to pray for My help in supporting you against the coming evil forces that you will be facing. The Battle of Armageddon is getting closer as you see the various nations lining up against each other. Prepare to go to My refuges, as some will be in this last battle fighting with Me.”
Friday, June 24, 2011: (Nativity of St. John the Baptist)
Jesus said: “My people, today’s feast is one of the beginning steps of the coming of the Kingdom of God to mankind. Just as in the vision you see man building things, so you are seeing the beginning of how I built My Church. St. John the Baptist even heralded My coming as he stirred in the womb of his mother on My arrival in the womb of My Blessed Mother. Later, St. John baptized Me and My public ministry began as I taught the people for three years. My apostles spread My Christian faith to all the nations as My Church spread and grew to what it is today. As you look on the plan of My salvation, you are blessed with how My Church has guided souls through the years with My help. I have promised you that the gates of hell will not prevail over My Church.”
Saturday, June 25, 2011:
Jesus said: “My people, I prayed over many for healing when I was on the earth. Those, who had faith that I could heal them, were healed even when they only touched My garment. Some people, as in today’s Gospel, saw healings even when I was a distance away. Even today, you can still see My healing of people when they pray and have faith in My healing power. I have also told you that during the tribulation, you will see luminous crosses in the sky over My refuges. Those, who believe, will receive instant healing when they look on My cross. This is just how the people in the Exodus had their snake bites healed when they looked on the bronze serpent that Moses lifted up into the air. This same trust that healed the centurion’s servant, will also heal all of My faithful who look on My luminous cross or drink the healing spring water at My refuges. It will be hard to find doctors and hospitals at My refuges, so you will have My healing power any time that you need it. Rejoice that those, who receive physical healing at My refuges, will also receive spiritual healing as well because I heal the whole person, both body and soul.”
(Corpus Christi vigil) Jesus said: “My people, this feast is My most precious gift to all of you which is a gift of Myself. Under the appearances of bread and wine you receive My Body and Blood. In My Blessed Sacrament My true believers receive My Real Presence in Communion. As the priest mentioned, some people come to Mass out of obligation, but others come to be close to Me in My Blessed Sacrament. My true believers talk to Me in prayer in their morning offering, during the day, and in evening prayer. Those, who come to Mass every day, are coming because they want to, and not just out of obligation. Those, who visit Me in Adoration every day, are even in more love with Me. The consecrated Host is not just a piece of bread, but it is truly My very Body and Blood. Rejoice, that you have this gift of Myself that I have left with you on earth. Even during the coming tribulation, I will bless My faithful at My refuges when My angels will give you My daily Communion.”
Sunday, June 26, 2011: (Body and Blood of Jesus)
Jesus said: “My people, you have been celebrating some graduations, but the people in North Dakota are losing their homes, their jobs, and their schools to floods. You may have a little inconvenience without power, but these people have also lost power and even a home to use the power. In the Southern states that have endured months of droughts, now many of them are dealing with fires that are burning thousands of acres. They continue to have scorching hot days without any rain. The vision of the gold bars is an example to show you that soon your paper money will be worth next to nothing because it has no intrinsic value. You cannot keep spending more money than you take in with taxes, and not have some consequences. Many of the disasters, money problems, and job losses are coming as a punishment for all the killing of babies in abortion, killing in euthanasia, and your sexual sins. Now in your state and others, you have just accepted a law in your Legislature that allows homosexual marriages to be legal. You are insulting My laws against killing, and My laws against adultery, fornication, and homosexual acts which are all mortal sins. I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for less. You will have your wish for My coming to demand My justice against your sins and insults.”1
Monday, June 27, 2011: (St. Cyril of Alexandria)
Jesus said: “My people, Abraham found out that the Lord was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, so he tried to bargain with God to save these people. He started with fifty just men and then came down to ten just men that if they were found, the Lord would not destroy these towns. Only Lot and his family of eight were found just, but not ten, so these towns were destroyed with fire and brimstone. Tradition in history has put this place near the Dead Sea where it is barren with traces of sulfur. These people were destroyed by the justice of God because of the evil of their sins that cried out for punishment. I have mentioned before how the same fate of My justice is being called for on America because of the cries of your abortions, killings in euthanasia and wars, and your sexual sins. Many of your natural disasters are a punishment for these sins. Pray for sinners in your country and for a stoppage of your abortions.”
Jesus said: “My people, you have been hearing a lot about legalizing homosexual marriage between two men or two women. These unions are very unnatural, as I only intended marriage between a man and a woman in order to procreate the human race. All sexual acts outside of the marriage bond are mortal sins. They include adultery, fornication, masturbation, and homosexual acts. Even among married partners, they are to avoid birth control devices because every act should be open to procreation. These sexual urges and pleasures were meant for carrying on the human race, but they require a control of the passions. Remember to obey My Sixth Commandment and do not have impure thoughts about others outside of the married partners. There are many abuses of the sexual sins, and many go to hell because of them. Guard your eyes and thoughts so you do not let the devil lead you into sin. Ask for My grace to help you when you are being tempted. By your prayers and controlling yourself, you can remain pure and chaste. If you do sin, you should go to Confession quickly because these are usually serious sins, and you do not want to risk dying in mortal sin.”
Tuesday, June 28, 2011: (St. Irenaeus)
Jesus said: “My people, this punishment of Lot’s wife of being turned into a pillar salt is an example of how important it is to follow My Word, or you will face the consequences. In three or more instances the Bible records My justice of many being killed by My hand. One incident was in the Great Flood when I saved Noah. Another was the evil ones killed in Sodom and Gomorrah where I saved Lot and his family. Still one more was when I killed Pharaoh’s army to save the Hebrews with Moses. These are all examples of My justice in punishing the evil people, but you also see My mercy in protecting My righteous people. You are all obliged to follow My Commandments out of love, and everyone will have an accounting for their actions. Be thankful that you can seek My forgiveness of your sins, instead of being punished with a violent death from My hand.”
Jesus said: “My people, those, who live in the North or the middle of America, have been getting adequate rain levels and even a little excess. As soon as the rains become less frequent, then your people start watering their plants and yards more. It is more difficult for farmers to continually irrigate their farms because you need equipment and a large source of water. Any farmers in the deep South are having much less than normal rainfall, and it is almost impossible to have enough fresh water for irrigation. They need prayers for rain, but it is already getting late to have a good crop there. Pray that the rest of your country is more successful with their crops, or there could be some food shortages. Even other countries are seeing floods and bad weather for crops. If natural disasters continue at a high level, you could see the beginnings of a world famine. As the world’s population increases, this also will put an extra demand on food and a place to live. Give praise and thanks to Me if you have enough food to eat and water for your needs. Fresh water is becoming a scarce commodity and a good share comes from rainfall. Some drier areas will need to look at membrane technology to desalinate ocean water to help provide enough fresh water for their needs.”
Wednesday, June 29, 2011: (St. Peter & St. Paul)
Jesus said: “My people, St. Peter was the first Pope who said to Me: ‘Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’ I gave him the keys to the Kingdom of God as I would build My Church on him. The gates of hell will not prevail over My Church which I have protected over these many years. St. Paul was My missionary to the Gentiles, and many were converted to the faith because of him. You also were given his many epistles which have helped the faithful in directing their lives to Me. These two pillars and most of My apostles were martyred for their faith. The blood of the martyrs have become the seeds of many converts. Many Christians were killed by the Romans in an attempt to purge Christianity, but this did not stop the faith from spreading. You will see another physical persecution coming again, but I will be protecting My faithful at My refuges with My angels. Even St. Peter was released from prison by an angel.”

"I am your Jesus, born Incarnate."
"I have come to describe to you the anatomy of grudge-bearing. A grudge is a burden you are not being asked to carry. A grudge is unforgiveness, and holds the heart in the past. It is a useless barrier between your human heart and My Sacred Heart. It is the sign of anger. A grudge is most certainly Satan's handiwork."
"Sometimes the soul does not recognize that he is carrying a grudge. But at the end of the day when he examines his conscience, as all souls should, if he remembers thinking of someone or some situation with a dissatisfied turbulence, he may well be carrying a grudge."
"I hold no grudges. Divine Mercy forgives all who seek My forgiveness. I do not remember past sins the soul repents of. I do not search out error in people."
"In Holy Love, you are all being called to imitate My Mercy. Ask Me for the grace to forgive and forget. I will help your sincere efforts in this regard."

Please understand, as well, the reason people lie is because they want to cover up the truth. The reasons may vary - to protect power, reputation or some other worldly gain.

God does not want you to experience the feeling of love for Him and your neighbor in a perceptible manner? How fortunate we are to be held so tightly to our heavenly tutor! We need do no more than we are doing at present; that is to love divine Providence and abandon ourselves in His arms and heart.
No, my God, I desire no greater pleasure than my faith, my hope, my love; to be able only to say sincerely, even if sometimes without feeling, that I would rather die than abandon this virtue (Letters III p 425).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Burnout comes fast for those who are not sincere
"When, after multiplying the bread, the multitude wished to make Christ a bread king, Our Lord fled into the mountains alone. Economic kingships last only while the bread is plentiful and the circuses are in the playgrounds. It is always a good policy never to choose the most enthusiastic person in a gathering as a leader. Wait to see how much wood there is for the flame."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
When, during adoration, I repeated the prayer, "Holy God" several times, a vivid presence of God suddenly swept over me, and I was caught up in spirit before the majesty of God. I saw how the Angels and the Saints of the Lord give glory to God. The glory of God is so great that I dare not try to describe it, because I would not be able to do so, and souls might think that what I have written is all there is. Saint Paul, I understand now why you did not want to describe heaven, but only said that eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love Him [cf. 1 Corinthians 2:9; 2 Corinthians 12:1-7]. Yes, that is indeed so. And all that has come forth from God returns to Him in the same way and gives Him perfect glory. Now I have seen the way in which I adore God; oh, how miserable it is! And what a tiny drop it is in comparison to that perfect heavenly glory. O my God, how good You are to accept my praise as well, and to turn Your Face to me with kindness and let us know that our prayer is pleasing to You. (1604)
Oh, how greatly I desire the glory of Your mercy-for me, bitterness and suffering! When I see the glory of Your mercy, I am immeasurably happy. Let all disgrace, humiliation and abasement come down upon me, as long as the glory and praise of Your mercy resounds everywhere-that's all that matters. (1691)
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.
July 1 - A SPECIAL DAY
Our Lady speaks of talents to Jelena's prayer group:
Each of you has a special gift which is your own, and can alone understand it interiorly. (Locutionist Jelena Message 7-85)
And in Romans, Paul urges the people to utilize their gifts: We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us:
prophecy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness (Romans 12:6-8)
Reflection:
Looking at Paul's list of talents, we can imagine the kinds of people who would have each gift. For instance, prophets are often bold and articulate; servers are faithful and loyal; teachers are clear thinkers; preachers know how to motivate others. Givers are generous and trusting, while administrators are good organizers and managers. Comforters are sympathetic and have a natural ability to listen. It would be impossible for one person to embody all these gifts. An assertive prophet would not usually make a good counselor, and a generous giver might fail as an administrator.
Once you have identified your own gifts (and Paul's list is far from complete), ask yourself how you can use them to God's glory. Aware that your gifts cannot do the work of your local church alone, give thanks for the people whose gifts are completely different from your own. Let your strengths balance their deficiencies, and vice versa, so that we can all build up Christ's church together.
Application:
Identify at least one talent that you can use in the Lord's service.
Medjugorje Day By Day June 22 - PREPARE YOURSELF WITH LOVE
"Behold the source of every good, Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament, who says, If any man thirst, let him come to Me. Oh, what torrents of grace have the saints drawn from the fountain of the Most Blessed Sacrament! for there Jesus dispenses all the merits of his Passion, as it was foretold by the Prophet: You shall draw waters with joy out of the Saviour's fountains" (St. Alphonsus Liguori).
Mother Teresa -
Reflect today on these words of Pope Paul VI on peace : "If we wish to have true peace, we must give it a soul. The soul of peace is love."
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Do not be discouraged if you do not succeed in doing everything as you desire, force yourself to do what you have to do and see to it that you never fall short of anything in this respect, taking no account of whether you feel comfort or tediousness and boredom. Always be upright in this resolution (Epist IV p 466).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
The only way to solve the hunger problem
"The problem is the whole world is dying of hunger - the Eastern world is dying of hunger of body; the Western world is dying of hunger of soul. The first will be fed, but not by those who hate liberty when they give them flour; the Western world will be saved by feeding the East while recognizing their own hunger of the Spirit and by seeking again the true King of Hearts Who alone gives `The Bread of Life'."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Then, in an instant, I was caught up to stand near Jesus, and I stood on the altar next to the Lord Jesus, and my spirit was filled with a happiness so great that I am unable to comprehend it or write about it. A profound peace as well as repose filled my soul. Jesus bent toward me and said with great kindness, What is it you desire, My daughter? And I answered, "I desire worship and glory be given to Your mercy." I already am receiving worship by the institution and celebration of this Feast; what else do you desire? I then looked at the immense crowd worshiping The Divine Mercy and I said to the Lord, "Jesus, bless all those who are gathered to give glory to You and to venerate Your infinite mercy." Jesus made a sign of the cross with His hand, and this blessing was reflected in the souls like a flash of light. My spirit was engulfed in His love. I felt as if I had dissolved and disappeared completely in God. When I came to myself, a profound peace was flooding my soul, and an extraordinary understanding of many things was communicated to my intellect, an understanding that had not been granted me previously. (1048)
On several occasions, I have learned how some religious defend their own glory under the pretext of being concerned for the glory of God, whereas it is not a question of the glory of God, but of glory of self. O Jesus, how painful this has been for me! What secrets the day of Your judgment will bring to light! How can one steal God's gifts? (1149)
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.
JUNE 22 - PREPARE YOURSELF WITH LOVE
As we approach the anniversary, Our Lady asks us to prepare with love:
Dear children, your Mother is happy to be with all of you. Dear children, you have helped me to realize the plans of God.
I wish to speak to you of love, and give you love. During these days, prepare yourselves for the anniversary with love, with my messages, and with joy. Your mother will help you, dear children, and your Mother will remain with you. There is nothing more important for you than to make what I have said your first priority. (Visionary's Prayer Group 6-6- 98)
St. John also recognizes the primacy of love:
"We love because he first loved us. Those who say, `I love God,' and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen. The commandment we have from him is this; those who love God must love their brothers and sisters also (1John 4:19-21).
Reflection:
Some years ago the BBC sent its star journalist, Malcolm Muggeridge, to India to do a documentary on Mother Teresa. The BBC wanted to televise her and her sisters picking up the dying in the slums of Calcutta and caring for them at a shelter they ran. Here the dying are washed up and cared for, as Mother Teresa puts it, `within the sight of a loving face.'
The shelter is dimly lit by tiny windows high up in the walls. The television crew had not anticipated the poor lighting inside the building, and had not brought any portable lights with them. They concluded that it was useless to try to film the sisters working with the dying inside the building. But someone suggested they do it anyway. Perhaps some of the footage would be usable. To everyone's surprise the footage turned out to be absolutely spectacular. The whole interior was bathed in mysterious warm light. Technically speaking, the camera crew said, the results were impossible to explain.
Muggeridge has his own theory about the mysterious light: `Mother Teresa's home for the dying is overflowing with love...This love is luminous, like the haloes artists have seen and made visible round the heads of the saints. I find it not at all surprising that the luminosity should register on photographic film.'
Application:
Today, pray especially for this gift of luminous love, as Our Lady urges us today.
Message Thru Marie- June 19, 2011
June 19, 2011,
I had just ended the Creed, when visions came to me, still I continued the rosary
but had to stop to begin writing already so I don't forget...
1st vision
Mary at the foot of the Cross with her mantle
wide open and full of her children crowded together within,
Jesus crucified is above her, then above the cross
the light of God spreading upwards and outwards as a ray of light
2nd vision
World (globe) with a lot of cracks and big tears
ready to tear open wide in many places
3rd vision
bodies, dead bodies piled on top of the other, all drenched in water- or so it seemed
debris also everywhere but no structure anywhere just rubble
4th vision
plain Cross is to my left as the message below flows from the Lord,
from previous visions, I know that the cross is a sign to Trust
This time, I am to guided to answer 'Trust' and my answers are led by Him...
Lord: when you see the great darkness easily oppress and
take over my weak children, they become despondent, heavy, what will you do
Me: I will trust you, lord. Trust in your goodness and ask for the grace to pray
for all and for those I can reach, to bring your healing grace to them for you
are the Light that shall dispel the darkness
Lord: When I shake your false foundations ( I see and sense big money
institutions, big business, multinationals, big homes, luxurious stuff tumble and destroyed)
what will you do
Me: I will trust in you, Lord. Trust always in your goodness. I will ask for the grace of
detaching from these idols and desire simplicity. I will ask too for the grace of conversion
for all in my family, my loved ones, my various circles who may also be clinging to the treasures of
this world. That we all cling to you instead, in total trust
and believe a greater good shall arise once you tear down this present world
Lord: When I shake the world (I saw again earth with cracks enlarging) and great cities
fall, many lives lost, much death surrounding you, what will you do
Me: I will trust you, Lord, for I know you love me. Even if I suffer also to my death (sudden or slow)
I will persevere and offer whatever pain to yours. I know you are bringing about the renewal of the earth.
I will close my eyes to the gruesome sight of death all around, pray to You and pray for all my
brothers and sisters. I will ask for the grace of conversion, but mostly, I will find that state of serenity
only to be found when in close communion with You.
Even if I were to be surrounded by death, I will have You in me, Hope in me, to move on, if only inch by
inch, to live your truth and bring your love and your peace to whoever needs it. All you taught me
I will do the same for those you put in my path, in patience and compassion through your grace.
Lord: When the warning comes will you not cease praying for all your loved ones, for my mercy to pour
limitlessly in order to melt hardened hearts, lost hearts, distant hearts, bitter hearts? (at this I feel His
great pain at the large number of distant souls who may not turn towards him and I too cry)
me: Yes, Lord, I will pray for all but I ask for the grace to be strong enough to recall all the lessons,
prayers you taught me and the grace not to be led to despair or panic. I will ask for a faith strong enough
as to never doubt or be tempted to doubt your great love expressed in your great forgiveness for all of us
who repent, and that you have healed me whole and continue to rebuild me into a living holy tabernacle
of your Love.
Lord; When violence, hate, greed , despair take over lost souls, when men's actions turn to beasts' and
the evil spirit takes over, what will you do
Me: I shall trust in you. I shall trust in your precious blood and ask that it cover all of us, your faithful few.
so that evil cannot enter our sanctuaries. I shall call on Our Mother's protection with her mantle, to cover
us whole, body mind and soul. I shall call on the angels too, the saints, esp too St. Michael, St Raphael.
Also I shall pray to my guardian angel. We shall trust in these shields of protection because only by this
total trust can we survive the enemy's violent thrashing.
Also I will not forget to pray for the grace to pour upon the Martyrs of the latter days. For their blood shall
also help protect us who are weaker and will fall if not for their sacrifices.
Lord: When all the earth lies prostrate before me, when all the enemies are locked in hell, bounded by
chains of your Mother (rosaries), all that arise from the ashes of destruction shall form the renewed kingdom.
So glorious in Light, Simple in stature, great in faith, boundless in charity, extending my compassion to all, there
will be no more false treasures to attach to as all of you are restored back to Me. All gifts of My Spirit will
pour unbounded to heal all pain you suffered, and all shall turn towards Me, your Triune God.
When all reverberate in my goodness, witness the miracles unfold. Miracles yet to be, shall flow outside of time
and love shall rebuild nations.
I am then shown circles -concentric circles, I see how there is a total unrestricted flow of riches/graces/talents from
the innermost smallest circle of the individual and his small family, flow, to the community, to the nation, to the
world. It is as though the walls between concentric circles have been broken and they now flow freely...the other image
shown is a circle that has rays of light all emanating from the center - this is what happens when the borders between circles collapse,
the light flows outward unimpeded.
I sense that everywhere it will be this way. There are no distinction in the amount of grace flowing from the inner to the outer circle.
For ex, normally we tend to protect and save the best for the innermost circle,our immediate family, but in this case
our transformation is such that the love for the community becomes as great as that normally reserved for the inner
circle - the immediate family (this is my interpretation) Kindly discern as well. God bless.

"I have come specifically to dissect the beautiful grace of forgiveness. Forgiveness flows directly from Truth. It is Truth that helps the unforgiving heart to make allowances in Holy Love. It is God's Wisdom which allows the soul to accept the human frailty which needs forgiveness. It is humility of heart which finally embraces forgiveness."

Medjugorje Day By Day June 21- SURRENDER YOURSELVES
Jesus Christ, my Lord and my God, whom I believe to be really present in the
Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, receive this most profound act of adoration
to supply for the desire I have to adore You unceasingly, and in thanksgiving
for the sentiments of love which Your Sacred Heart has for me in this
Sacrament" (St. Margaret Mary Alacoque).
Mother Teresa
To make sure that we do not forget, Jesus gave us the Eucharist as a memorial of his love ... When you look at the Crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you then, when you look at the Sacred Host you understand how much Jesus loves you now."
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Father, why do you cry when you receive Jesus in Holy Communion?" Reply: "If the Church can utter the words: speaking of the incarnation of the Word in the womb of the Immaculate Virgin, what should be said of us miserable creatures? But Jesus said to us: 'He who does not eat my Flesh and does not drink my Blood will not have life everlasting,' so then let us approach Holy Communion with great love and fear. Let the whole day be a preparation and thanksgiving for Holy Communion" (LdP,55)
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Both body and soul must be fed
"Let it not be forgotten that He Who promised the spiritual did not deny bread to the poor. Our hopes and our liberties are sold too cheap when they are bartered away to him who feeds the body and leaves the soul unsatisfied."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Today, I took part in a one-day retreat. When I was at the last conference, the priest was speaking of how much the world needs God's mercy, and that this seems to be a special time when people have great need of prayer and God's mercy. Then I heard a voice in my soul: These words are for you. Do all you possibly can for this work of My mercy. I desire that My mercy be worshiped, and I am giving mankind the last hope of salvation; that is, recourse to My mercy. My Heart rejoices in this feast. After these words, I understood that nothing can dispense me from the obligation which the Lord demands from me. (998)
Let the glory and praise to The Divine Mercy rise from every creature throughout all ages and times. (1005)
Praise and glory be to You, O Holy Trinity, Eternal God. May the mercy springing from Your very bowels protect us from Your just anger. Let the praise of Your incomprehensible mercy resound everywhere. All Your works bear the seal of Your unfathomable mercy, O God. (1007)

JUNE 21 - SURRENDER YOURSELVES
In anticipation of the anniversary, the Virgin calls us to surrender ourselves to God:
Dear children, until the anniversary day, I call you, the parish, to pray more and to let your prayer be a sign of surrender to God. Dear children, I know that you are all tired, but you don't know how to surrender yourselves. During these days, surrender yourselves completely to me! (Weekly Message 6-13-85)
Perhaps the greatest example of surrender was that of Job, who remained faithful in prosperity and poverty, in illness and in health, in joy and in tragedy. His simple words were:
"Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there; the Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord (Job 1:21)."
Reflection:
Surrender to God is one of the most difficult tasks of the spiritual life, for we are ingrained with a self-centeredness and egotism (original sin) that impels us to seek control not only over our own lives, but over everyone and everything around us. Left unchecked, this sometimes unconscious attitude leads inevitably to emptiness and despair.
However, turning from self to God allows us to enter a new life of God-centeredness, oneness, and joy that we were created for. Instead of moving inward, we move outward, and become free. It all begins, as Our Lady says, with a conscious choice.
Application:
Today, let us make that choice -- using a special prayer written by St. Therese of Lisieux, "The Little Flower":
"I consider that `all is vanity but to love God and serve him alone.' The grace which I especially ask, O Jesus, is never to offend you. My gifts are all unworthy, and so I offer you my very soul, O most loving Savior.
I fear only one thing, my God, to keep my own will.
Take it, therefore, for I choose all that you choose. O my Beloved, I offer myself to you, that you may perfectly accomplish in me your holy designs, and I will not allow anything created to be an obstacle to their accomplishment."

Message from MOTHER OF MERCY
To THE WORLD
May 25, 2011, through Chris Courtis, a visionary in Maryland, U.S.A.
(She wants me to remind people that next year on October 13, (2012), she will appear again with a public message for the world in honor of Fatima. She says,)
And now, some instructions on the Mother of Divine Mercy. I desire that it be made known to the world. I desire that everyone pray the Mother of Divine Mercy Chaplet* along with the Mother of Mercy Chaplet. They should be prayed at 4:00 pm, even the Mother of Divine Mercy Chaplet. I desire also to make it known that next year, the following Sunday after Jesus’ Divine Mercy, the following Sunday after shall be celebrated in honor of me as Mother of Divine Mercy.
Do not concern yourself with the novena which I will give slowly through this year and next year privately. For now, it is enough that you pray both chaplets and make the Novena of the Mother of Mercy Chaplet which I have so often called you to do. Please understand, dear children, that Mother of Divine Mercy is the culmination of Mother of Mercy. I hold Jesus in my arms as Mother of Mercy. I am presented in Mother of Divine Mercy as the key to Jesus’ Divine Mercy. You see Jesus standing behind a door. To open that door, you need the key. I am the key to Jesus’ mercy. All this will be explained more later on. For now, I wish to continue giving you my messages to the world. (She’s changing. There’s a light that’s enveloping her. The light is dimming.

* CHAPLET OF
MOTHER OF DIVINE MERCY
“I am the Mother of Divine Mercy because Jesus has filled me with His Divine Mercy. Those who are afraid to approach Jesus as Divine Mercy may approach me as Mother of Divine Mercy with assured confidence that I will give to them the Divine Mercy of my Son with the blessings of my own motherly mercy.” *
1. The Sign of the Cross: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
2. Opening Prayer: In your anguish, Oh Holy Lady, you stayed beneath your Son’s Cross, and the prophecy of Simeon was fulfilled. A sword pierced your innermost heart, thus opening wide your tender and motherly mercy. Empty your mercy on us and on the whole world.
Oh, great mercy which gushed forth from the heart of Mary as a fountain of thy Son’s mercy for us, I trust in you. (x3)
3. One Our Father: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen
4. One Hail Mary: Hail Mary, full of grace, The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
*www.movingheartfoundation.com/wd10-m2-jun2.doc
5. The Apostles’ Creed: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day, He rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
6. On the five large beads: Eternal Father, I offer you the emotional and bodily sufferings of your dearly beloved daughter, the Blessed Mother Mary, in reparation for our sins and those of the whole world.
7. Ten small beads: For the sake of Our Lady’s sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
8. On each of the three small beads:
Holy Mary, Holy Mother of God, Holy Immaculate One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
9. Closing Prayer:
Eternal God, whose mercy is found in the Blessed Virgin Mary, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence, come to know your Divine Will through Mary, ever blessed, and then come to submit ourselves to Your Holy Divine Will which is love and mercy itself.
10. Sign of the Cross
Prayer to Mary, Mother of Divine Mercy:
(Optional)
Oh Holy Lady, in your profound humility you sought nothing and yet you gained everything. The idea of a God who wanted to love and save humanity was not foreign to you because, in you, you bore the God of love, light, and mercy.
So many times did you ponder your Son Jesus’ divine mercy. So many times did you see His mercy. So many times did you hear His mercy. So many times did you speak of your Son’s mercy. Only Heaven could have seen, only Heaven could have known the heights of mercy that you would obtain within you.
It was at the Cross where as the spear which opened up your Son Jesus’ Divine Mercy to flow, so did the sword which pierced your heart, thus opening wide your motherly divine mercy.
Who is it that can open the doors of divine mercy at any time, night or day? Is it not she who bore within herself the Incarnate Word, or Mercy
Oh, Holy Lady Mary, thy wound in thy heart is most venerable to God because through that wound in thy heart, all of thy mercy for humanity was poured out for all. No one ever will be turned away from thee, unless it is by their own free will.
So we come to thee, you who are the channel of Jesus’ mercy to us, and thus remembering this: Those who come to know Jesus’ divine mercy, come to know God the Father’s mercy, and in like fashion, all those who come to know the Mother of Divine Mercy come to know, honor, venerate, and love the Divine Mercy of Jesus Christ. Remember, to Jesus through Mary, or is it
through Mary to Jesus? Amen
Message from OUR LADY OF AMERICA
To THE WORLD
May 25, 2011, through Chris Courtis, a visionary in Maryland, U.S.A.
(It’s Our Lady of America! with the crown, with the lily, with her Immaculate Heart, everything. She’s so pretty! She says,)
Dear children of America,
The time has come for you to awaken spiritually and return back to my Son. I have called, and I have called, and I have called, and you have turned a deaf ear to my messages. My little children, my only advice for you at this time is return to Jesus through prayer. Nothing is more important to me now than your prayers and your sacrifices for your nation. If you offer me your prayers and your sacrifices, I will mitigate what is happening and what is to come soon, but I cannot do this without your help. Yes, I need more prayers and sacrifices on your part. Pray! Pray! Pray! (She has a Rosary in her right hand. She’s lifting it up. She says,) Pray the Rosary together as a family and dwell closer to God. I’m inviting you through your prayers to find peace again with God.
After you discover this peace through prayer, I invite you, for your individual conversion, to go to Confession. Cleanse your soul of the sins which, by your own actions, you have caused by not listening and by not heeding my requests. Know, dear children of America, every sacrifice that is offered to me I take to my Son and give to Him, with my own blessing, to obtain an alleviation of His justice. He loves you and He does not desire to punish anyone, but through His justice, He will bring many back to His mercy.
Again, my call is the same as in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. Please, dear children, you must STOP OFFENDING GOD! I have warned you throughout last year of greater suffering and natural disasters of all kinds. Where were the sacrifices on your part? I tell you in truth, the sins of America are great, and in order to preserve peace, my Son’s justice must be given to you in all its measures. But you can help alleviate this through your prayers and sacrifices. My heart is mourning for all the lost souls in this country. With a mother’s pleading, I say to all of you, my dear little children, please, STOP OFFENDING GOD! Be my prayer warriors and help me bring peace to this nation. More suffering will befall you unless you amend your ways. Tell America and the world to STOP OFFENDING GOD! Tell them I desire nothing more and nothing less than their total conversion. Let me, as your mother and Lady of America, lead you to that which is right and just in His sight. Thank you for your response to my call. (The light is radiating even more. The light is now slowly fading. She’s Our Lady, Mother of Mercy. ) [see next message]

Message from OUR LADY, MOTHER OF MERCY
To THE WORLD
May 25, 2011, through Chris Courtis, a visionary in Maryland, U.S.A.
My dear little children, praised be Jesus!
My dear children, I come because I love you. I come here to encourage you on your road to conversion and peace. You ask me, “Oh mother, where is it that I can find your mercy? Where does your mercy dwell? Where do I look for your mercy?” And I say, “Look no further than my Immaculate Merciful Heart.”
Yes, it is through my heart that you will find all my mercy and all my loving embrace. My Immaculate Heart is merciful because God has made me the mother of everyone in the whole world. All children are loved by me whether they honor me or not. My heart is so merciful towards the whole world that it does not matter to me what race or religion or creed you confess to. I still pour forth graces and mercy upon you because I love you, I am your Mother of Mercy, and because Jesus desires my mercy to be victorious.
Where did my mercy come from? It came to me by Jesus’ own mandate at the foot of the Cross making me your mother. So, in a way, I am pointing you to Jesus. He is the one who fills my heart with the most tender of mercy for all God’s children. I desire for you to love Jesus and thank Him for the mercy that He has given to me that I am able to share with you. I point you to His Cross and to my Most Immaculate Heart. From my heart and the Cross flow abundant mercy, enough to save the whole world. (She’s smiling.) That is why I desire you to consecrate yourself seriously to my Immaculate Heart so that through my mercy, I may protect you, and that I may present you pure and innocent before my Son. Focus on the Cross and my heart! Focus on the Cross and my heart! Focus on the Cross and my heart and you will discover the richness and blessing that I give as Mother of Mercy!
My call is for you to come to me, and pray, and have a strong confidence in my mercy. I am so merciful that I will wrap you in my mantle and you will be protected from all that is evil and unclean. Have confidence in me, and I will protect you and lead you, deeper and deeper in the spiritual life, to Jesus. Surrender yourselves completely to my Most Merciful Heart and have a devotion to my Most Merciful Immaculate Heart. This is the message that I come to deliver to you today under the title of Mother of Mercy.
And now, I shall bless you and all that is here, all that is in this room, all that you have on, all that’s on the altar, by the altar, and under the altar, I am blessing, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. As I depart, please know that I take your petitions into my heart, and I will present them as your Most Merciful Mother to the throne of the Most Holy Trinity which is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Now as I make the Sign of the Cross again, I shall depart. I shall depart, dear children, but I shall always be with you, with each and every one of you when, and especially when, you pray your Rosaries.
Thank you for responding to my call. Go in the great peace, love, and mercy of God Most High. Ad Deum. (The light is developing around her. She’s in the blue mantle and the white dress. The light is very bright. All I see is the light. The light is dimming as it floats upwards. I can barely see the light. It’s gone.)

Message from OUR LADY QUEEN OF PEACE
To THE WORLD
May 25, 2011, through Chris Courtis, a visionary in Maryland, U.S.A.
(She has twelve, blue, twinkling stars as a crown. Her veil is long and flowing. Some parts of it are like see-through but because it’s so long and flowing, the thickness varies, especially around the top, the covering of her head which is thicker. Her hair is dark, beautiful blue eyes. She’s in a bluish-grey dress. She’s on a pure white cloud. She’s all bathed in light. She says,)
Praised be Jesus!
Dear children,
Today, like never before do I wish to urge you to conversion. The only word I wish to say to you is “convert!” Give time to your prayers. Do not simply recite the Rosary or your prayers quickly but give time to your prayers. Pray the Rosary slowly. Meditate upon the meaning of each prayer. Then, and only then, shall you discover the richness of prayer, and the fruit of the mysteries will come alive and blossom in your heart.
Pray! Pray! Pray! Pray from your heart! Do not just recite words but speak as if I or God were right in front of you. There’s no reason to hold anything back. Speak and pray from your heart. Conversion will become easier to obtain for those who want it and desire it if they listen to my call and do as I ask.
Also, dear children, do I invite you to come and look for me. You ask where can you find me when I am not appearing. I say to you, I am present when you recite your Rosary. I am present during Adoration. There, you can also pray and speak to me, and it is a perfect time because there I will intercede to my Son who is present in the Eucharist. You can find me at Mass. During the Sacrifice of the Mass, when Jesus is lifted up, pray to me, and I will intercede to my Son there at the foot of His Cross in the Eucharist where the Living Sacrifice is offered up. I say to you, seek me there and you shall find me.
Go to your churches, kneel in front of the tabernacle, and pray to me there also, for I am there. Go to Confession, be cleansed of your sins, and pray from your heart. Seek me where I ought to be sought, where I have told you so many times. Wherever Jesus is present, I am there. I desire for you to remember my messages of Medjugorje and to live them, twice a month, as they are still being given.
I, as your mother and Queen of Peace, bless you. (She’s blessing us with the Sign of the Cross, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.) Now I shall extend my hands and pray over you.
Dear children, may you seek me where I am asking you to find me.
May you find what you are seeking there, and may your hearts burn
with fervor for the faith of Jesus and for love of me, Amen.
And now, I extend to you my motherly blessing of peace and love which you can extend to others with the Sign of the Cross. (Her hands are open. Rays of light are streaming out. There’s a beautiful cross forming behind her. It’s a cross of light.) Remember, dear children, I am always with you when you pray your Rosary. Teach others to pray the Rosary, especially those who desire to know more about my appearances in Medjugorge. I thank you for having responded to my call. Go in the peace of God. (The cross of light is enveloping her. It’s just so bright! Now Our Lady is all light. I do see a cloud, just a big oval of light is resting on it. It’s making its ascent up towards the ceiling. The light is still there, going through. The light is gone.

FROM Patricia
WORDS FROM ROMANS AND PROVERBS AND A PRAYER
THESE ARE SOME WORDS FROM ROMANS CHAPTER 1 STARTING WITH VERSE 21...AS WE KNOW NY NOW CONDONES MARRIAGES THAT ARE NOT OF SOLELY CONSISTING OF A MEN AND WOMAN....BUT OUR GOD HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ON THIS...SO I WILL TYPE HIS FEELINGS AS EXPRESSED IN THIS CHAPTER AND ONWARDS.
ALSO ON PROVERBS, ON WHAT WE SAY COUNTS MORE THAN WE KNOW. OUR THOUGHTS TAKE UP MOST OF OUR LIVES AND WHAT WE SPEAK OUT LOUD STEMS FROM THEM OF COURSE. PROVERBS HAS MUCH TO SAY. I PRAY OTHERS WILL FEEL INFORMED AND ENCOURAGED TO APPLY THE TEACHINGS FROM THIS BOOK OF THE BIBLE.
GOD BLESS AND LOVE YOU ALL ~ THROUGH MOTHER MARY'S HEART, SORROWFUL AND IMMACULATE ~
Verse 21 from Romans: For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. {22} Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools {23}
and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
{24} Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. {25} They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served things rather than the Creator - who is forever praised. Amen.
{26} Because of this God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for un-natural ones. {27} In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversions.
{28} Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, He gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. {29} They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, {30} slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; {31} they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. {32} Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Romans Chapter 2: God's Righteous Judgment
You, therefore have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. {2} Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. {3} So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment? {4} Or do you show contempt for the riches of His kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?
{5} But because of your stubborness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when His righteous judgment will be revealed. {6} God will give to each person according to what he has done. {7} To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, He will give eternal life. {8} But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. {9} There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; {10} but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, and then for the Gentile. {11} For God does not show favoritism.
FROM PROVERBS: On the words that proceed from the mouth....do they honor God?
Chapter 8 ~ vs.8: All the words of my mouth are just: non of them is crooked or perverse.
Chapter 11 ~ vs. 9: With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous escape.
Chapter 12 ~ vs. 18: Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Chapter 13 ~ vs. 3: He who guards his lips, guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.
Chapter 15 ~ vs. 4: The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.
Chapter 15 ~ vs. 28: The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil.
Chapter 17 ~ vs. 4: A wicked man listens to evil lips; a liar pays attention to a malicious tongue.
Chapter 20 ~ vs. 19: A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much.
AND A PRAYER TO OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN....
Eternal loving Father please open up all hearts, especially hardened sinners that Your Son, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ can live therein and have His own way. Cover sinners with His most Precious Blood and Holy wounds leading to their conversion ~ that they will praise and give you glory one day and have contrition for their sins and be re-instated to Your loving kindness because of your awesome, great merciful Heart.... Do remember His Words from the eternal Cross of suffering dearest Father... Father forgive them for they know not what they do.... Have mercy on all of us dearest Father. Free us from the influence of the enemy of our salvation. Grant peace to this darkened world! Oh, Lord Jesus...return to us Beloved Savior! Have mercy on us! Amen and amen.
All through Mother Mary's Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart ~ Our Virgin Mother of Seven Sorrows ~

Three O'Clock Prayer to the Divine Mercy
You expired, O Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls and an ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy
For use with Rosary Beads
One Our Father...One Hail Mary...The Apostles' Creed
On the five large beads of the Rosary: Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.
On the ten small beads: For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Conclude with (recited three times): Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world
Prayer to the Divine Mercy
O Lord, behold here before You a soul who exists in this world in order to allow You to exercise Your admirable MERCY and manifest it before heaven and earth. Others may glorify You through their faithfulness and perseverance, thus making evident the power of Your grace. How sweet and generous You are to those who are faithful to You!
Nevertheless, I will glorify You by acquainting others of Your goodness to sinners and by reminding them that Your MERCY is above all malice, that nothing can exhaust it, and that no relapse, no matter how shameful or criminal, should allow the sinner to despair of forgiveness.
I have offended You grievously, O Beloved Redeemer, but it would be still worse if I were to offend You by thinking that You were lacking in goodness to forgive me. I would rather He deprive me of everything else than the TRUST I have in Your Mercy.
Should I fall a hundred times or should my crimes be a hundred times worse that they actually are, I would continue to trust in Your MERCY. Amen
Prayer for Mercy for the Dying
O merciful Jesus, lover of souls, I beseech You, by the agony of Your Most Sacred Heart and by the sorrows of Your Immaculate Mother, wash clean in Your Blood the sinners of the whole world who are now in their final agony, but especially those on their way to eternal damnation and who are to die this day. Heart of Jesus who suffered death's agony, I beg You have mercy on these poor souls. Amen.
Prayer for Mercy for the Souls in Purgatory
Eternal Father, I offer You the most precious blood of Your Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, for those in my own home and within my own family. Amen.
Prayer For A Lonely Soul
Jesus, Friend of a lonely heart, You are my haven, You are my peace. You are my salvation, You are my serenity in moments of struggle and amidst an ocean of doubts. You are the bright ray that lights up the path of my life. You are everything to a lonely soul even though it remains silent. You know the weaknesses and You comfort and heal, sparing us sufferings. Amen.
Divine Mercy Direct Me
Eternal God, Goodness itself, whose mercy is incomprehensible to every intellect, whether human or angelic, help me, your feeble child, to do Your holy will as You make it known to me. I desire nothing but to fulfill God's desires. Lord, here is my soul and my body, my mind and my will, my heart and all my love. Direct me according to Your eternal plan. Amen.
NOVENA TO THE DIVINE MERCY
Jesus, I Trust in You
"...Jesus instructed me to write down and make before the Feast of Mercy. It begins on Good Friday." #1209 (57) of the Diary of Saint Faustina - Divine Mercy in My Soul.
I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fount of My mercy, that they may draw there from strength and refreshment and whatever graces they need in the hardships of life and, especially, at the hour of death.
On each day you will bring to My Heart a different group of souls, and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy, and I will bring all these souls into the house of My Father. You will do this in this life and in the next. I will deny nothing to any soul whom you will bring to the fount of My mercy. On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My bitter Passion, for graces for these souls."
I answered, "Jesus, I do not know how to make this novena or which souls to bring first into Your Most Compassionate Heart." Jesus replied that He would tell me which souls to bring each day into His Heart.
FIRST DAY
Today, bring to Me all mankind, especially all sinners and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. In this way you will console Me in the bitter grief into which the loss of souls plunges Me.
Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins, but upon the trust which (58) we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Oh omnipotence of Divine Mercy,
Salvation of sinful people,
You are a sea of mercy and compassion;
You aid those who entreat You with humility.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy forever and ever. Amen.
SECOND DAY
Today, bring to Me the souls of priests and religious, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy. It was they who gave Me the strength to endure My bitter Passion. Through them, as through channels, My mercy flows out upon Mankind.
Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in us, that we may perform worthy works of mercy, and that all who see us may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.
The fountain of God's love
Dwells in pure hearts,
Bathed in the Sea of Mercy,
Radiant as stars, bright as the dawn.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gave (59) upon the company {of chosen ones} in Your vineyard-- upon the souls of priests and religious, and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son, in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation, and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.
THIRD DAY
Today bring to Me all devout and faithful souls, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. These souls brought Me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were that drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness.
Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this of You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.
The miracles of mercy are impenetrable.
Neither the sinner nor just one will fathom them.
When You cast upon us an eye of pity,
You draw us all closer to Your love.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.
FOURTH DAY
Today bring to Me the pagans and those who do not yet know me. I was thinking also of them during My bitter Passion, and their future zeal comforted My Heart. Immerse them in the ocean of My mercy.
Most Compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of pagans who as yet do not know You. Let the rays of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate Heart.
May the light of Your love
Enlighten the souls in darkness;
Grant that these souls will know You
And, together with us, praise Your mercy.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of pagans and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Draw them to the light of the Gospel. These souls do not know what great happiness it is to love You. Grant that they, too, may extol the generosity of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.
FIFTH DAY
Today bring to Me the souls of heretics and schismatics, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. During My bitter Passion they tore at My Body and Heart; that is, My Church. As they return to unity with the Church, My wounds heal, and in this way they alleviate My Passion.
Most Merciful Jesus, Goodness Itself. You do not refuse light to those who seek it of You. Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of heretics and schismatics. Draw them by Your light into the unity of the Church, and do not let them, escape from the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart; but bring it about that they, too, come to adore the generosity of Your mercy.
(61) Even for those who have torn the garment of Your unity,
A fount of mercy flows from Your Heart.
The omnipotence of Your mercy, Oh God,
Can lead these souls also out of error.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of heretics and schismatics, who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces by obstinately persisting in their errors. Do not look upon their errors, but upon the love of Your own Son and upon His bitter Passion, which He underwent for their sake, since they, too, are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.
SIXTH DAY
Today bring to Me the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony, I saw them as earthly Angels, who would keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. Only the humble souls is able to receive My grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence.
(62) Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said "Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of Heart." Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy, and they are the heavenly Father's favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy.
A truly gentle and humble soul
Already here on earth the air of paradise breathes,
And in the fragrance of her humble heart
The Creator Himself delights.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek and humble souls, and upon the souls of little children, who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love you bear these souls and by the delight You take in them; bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.
SEVENTH DAY
Today bring to Me the souls who especially venerate and glorify My mercy, and immerse them in My mercy. these souls sorrowed most over My Passion and entered most deeply into My Spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death.
(63) Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. these souls are might with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy. These souls are united to Jesus and carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life.
A soul who praises the goodness of her Lord
Is especially loved by Him.
She is always close to the living fountain
And draws graces from Mercy Divine.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy and their spirit, overflowing with joy, sings a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God; Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promises of Jesus, who said to them, I Myself will defend as My own glory, during their lifetime, and especially at the hour of their death, those souls who will venerate My fathomless mercy.
EIGHTH DAY
Today bring to Me the souls who are in the prison of Purgatory, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasure (64) of My church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice.
Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy, so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of the purifying fire, that in that place, too, the power of Your mercy may be praised.
From the terrible heat of the cleansing fire
Rises a plaint to Your mercy,
And they receive comfort, refreshment, relief
In the stream of mingled Blood and Water
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded, manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way than through the Wounds of Jesus. Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion.
NINTH DAY
Today bring to Me souls who have become lukewarm, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: "Father, take this cup away fro Me, if it be Your will." For them, the last hope (65) of salvation is to flee to My mercy.
Most Compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pour love let these tepid souls, who, like corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love; and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power.
Fire and ice cannot be joined;
Either the fire dies, or the ice melts
But by Your mercy, O God,
You can make up for all that is lacking.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls, who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross; Let them too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy...
O day of eternity, O day so long desired,
With thirst and longing, my eyes search you out.
Soon love will tear the veil asunder,
And you will be my salvation.
O day most beautiful, moment incomparable,
When for the first time I shall see my God,
The Bridegroom of my soul and Lord of lords,
And fear will not restrain my soul.
O day most solemn, O day of brightness,
When the soul will know God in His omnipotence
And down totally in His love,
Knowing the miseries of exile are o'er.
O happy day, O blessed day,
When my heart will burn for You with fire eternal.
For even now I feel Your presence, though through the veil.
Through life and death, O Jesus, You are my rapture and delight.
O day, of which I dreamed through all my life,
Waiting long for You, O God,
For it is You alone whom I desire.
You are the one and only of my heart; all else is naught.
O day of delight, day of eternal bliss,
God of great majesty, my beloved Spouse,
You know that nothing will satisfy a virgin heart.
On Your tender Heart I rest my brow.

Medjugorje Day By Day June 29 - SAINTS PETER AND PAUL
"I wish I could help people understand that the Eucharist is a heaven.
Heaven is only a tabernacle without doors. God lives on altars with infinite love in order to unite our souls to Him" (St. Teresa of the Andes).
"Do not be ashamed of your convictions . . . When you kneel before the altar, do so in such wise that it is evident you are before Him before whom you kneel" (St. Maximilian Kolbe).
Mother Teresa
God will never, never, never let us down if we have faith and put our trust in Him.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
See how much scorn and sacrilege is committed by the sons of men towards the most holy humanity of His Son in the sacrament of love? It is up to us to defend the honor of the meek Lamb who is always concerned when the case of souls is in question, but always silent where His own case is concerned (Letters III p 64-65).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
The blind we see, but the deaf we do not hear
"One of life's greatest joys comes from loving those whom no one else loves. Thus do we imitate Our Heavenly Father Who certainly cannot see much in any of us creatures that is very attractive. It is curious that most people are more kind to the blind than they are to the deaf. Aristotle commented upon this fact, saying that sight is the most spiritual of all the senses and hearing the most material. For that reason we are moved by sympathy towards those who are afflicted in the most spiritual way."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
January 30, 1930. One-day retreat. The Lord gave me to know, during meditation, that as long as my heart beats in my breast, I must always strive to spread the Kingdom of God on earth. I am to fight for the glory of my Creator.
I know that I will give God the glory He expects of me if I try faithfully to cooperate with God's grace. (1548)
O my Jesus, Life of my soul, my Life, my Savior, my sweetest Bridegroom, and at the same time my Judge, You know that in this last hour of mine I do not count on any merits of my own, but only on Your mercy. Even as of today, I immerse myself totally in the abyss of Your mercy, which is always open to every soul.
O my Jesus, I have only one task to carry out in my lifetime, in death, and throughout eternity, and that is to adore Your incomprehensible mercy. No mind, either of Angel or of man, will ever fathom the mysteries of Your mercy, O God. The Angels are lost in amazement before the mystery of divine mercy, but cannot comprehend it. Everything that has come from the Creator's hand is contained in this inconceivable mystery; that is to say, in the very depths of His tender mercy, When I meditate on this, my spirit swoons, and my heart dissolves in joy. O Jesus, it is through Your most compassionate Heart, as through a crystal, that the rays of divine mercy have come to us. (1553)
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.
JUNE 29 - SAINTS PETER AND PAUL
Jelena received the following message intended for the Pope:
In my messages, I recommend to everyone, and to the Holy Father in particular, to spread the messages which I have received from my Son here at Medjugorje. I wish to entrust to the Pope, the word with which I came here: `mir' (peace), which he must spread everywhere.
And here is a message which is especially for him:
that he bring together the Christian people through his word and his preaching; that he spread, particularly among the young people, the messages which he has received from the Father in his prayer, with which God inspires him.
(LJM 9-16-83)
St. Paul charges Timothy with preaching the word:
Proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching (2 Tm 4:
Reflection:
Peter and Paul no doubt were the greatest evangelists of the church, converting in turn the Jews and Gentiles of their age. In his second letter to Timothy, Paul charges him to, "preach the word...put up with hardship, perform your work as an evangelist, fulfilling your ministry."
In a similar way, today Our Lady charges the successor of Peter, and all of us really, to evangelize as well by carrying her messages to others. She entrusts to us the message of peace.
As Paul exhorts Timothy, so the Blessed Virgin encourages the Holy Father to "bring together the Christian people through his word and preaching..."
On this feast of two great evangelists, the Mother of God urges us again to spread her messages by our words and by our lives. May the example of Peter and Paul inspire us to active roles in this great work.
Application:
Reflect today on the ways you can spread Our Lady's messages. Possibilities include word-of-mouth, printed material and audio/video cassettes, a program in your home or parish hall, and volunteer work or financial assistance for your nearest Medjugorje center.
Our Lady of All Nations to littlest of servants June 26,2011
OUR LADY OF ALL NATIONS HAS REQUESTED THAT HER MESSAGE GIVEN AT AKITA BE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
THOSE WHO READ THIS MESSAGE PLEASE PASS IT ON TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT DELAY BUT SEND IT OUT IMMEDIATELY.
THE FOLLOWING IS THE MESSAGE GIVEN AT AKITA ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1973.
"If men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests not faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the Bishops, and the priests.
"The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see Cardinals opposing Cardinals, Bishops against other Bishops. The priests who venerate Me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres (other priests). Churches and altars will be sacked. The Church will be full of those who accept compromises, and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord.
"The demon will be especially implacable against the souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of My sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will no longer be pardon for them. Pray very much the prayers of the Rosary. I alone am able to still save you from the calamities which approach. Those who place their confidence in Me will be saved."
Message/Visions Thru Marie - May 8, 2011
May 8, 2011 (Sunday - Mother's day) 7:50 am during rosary time...
Me: Mother, teach me about the Will, how do I stay in His Will, Fight
His Battle, Know it is His Will? I sometimes wonder what His plan is for me,
since its easier to follow my plans - etc?
Mama mary: I am the woman spoken of who shall lead the army in the
Greatest battle this world faces for in the end, stands eternal bliss or
eternal fire for my children.
If you wish to take up arms, it is by the weapon of the rosary and
my Son's Divine Mercy (the Mass or the chaplet) You must often say to the Father,
'behold I am the servant of the Lord, be it done to me according to your
will.' The Will of the Father is the will of perfect submission to the
ways of My Son. In your desire to stay close to me, I bring you to my
Son always.
The Father knows that you, without a plan, can be pulled in so many
directions. The Father teaches you stillness, in order to hear and discern
His Will and how it plays out in your plans. More and more you are allowing
His Spirit to direct you blindly. This develops as your Trust in Him develops.
Also a synchronicity develops in events when the Father's plan is followed.
Me: I ask something personal, here - how to reply to this person whose nature
is very 'hateful'.
Mama Mary: Do you know my child who will lead in this Great Battle? Who I have
chosen to help me win the battle? It is Mothers! The lay! The broken and injured!
In particular, those who have experienced and lived in my maternal heart who
know no limits when it comes to forgiving, that who have treated or accused you
falsely, who forgive those who have betrayed your trust again and again,
who forgive because you live in my maternal heart.
Those who forgive circumstances, events when my children lost a loved one
too soon...Mothers naturally have this experience close to their hearts but I do not
necessarily speak of only women. Rather those whose hearts closely resemble mine
in faithfulness, in submission to the Father's Will, especially in the time of your
personal experience of your own crucifixions..
When you extend your Heart regardless of the lacerations received, when you
extend Your Faith regardless of the hopelessness(seeming) of the situation,
when you extend your Mercy (My Mercy) regardless of the painful blows you receive,
when you extend my charity regardless of the desire of your ego to say no
because of the pains you received and the weariness of your soul...
Reflect the heart of my Son.
Let your hearts likewise bleed open so the precious blood of My Son can pour
through you and once in you, your renewed hearts can immerse others in
my Son's love, peace and forgiveness.
My Child, mothers do not waste the leftovers. For ex, left over cloth is turned
into material for patching up other clothes, or used for quilting, or to be sown
together as a kitchen towel etc. Left over food is mixed with other ingredients
and turned into 'new' food.
Do you know why I love these people? It is because you carry a maternal heart
everywhere you go. You re evangelize by your daily actions and sacrifices.
All over the world, this nation's workers have taken on the scraps (jobs others
would not normally want) as domestic helpers, caring for the elderly, sweeper
type of jobs, hard labor. Your people know the sacrifice they make in order to turn
scraps into 'gold' to send to their families.
Look at this world and the great garbage coming out of it now? You pick up the
garbage and find creative ways to turn it into Gold. Is this not similar to
what My Son did by picking up the Cross of Humiliation and Sin? He embraced
that which the world looked down upon.
When you encounter a difficult situation, one that is difficult to swallow
(at this point I recalled my question on what to do with a particularly difficult person)
think and connect to your filipino brothers abroad, who endure so much more and
knowingly swallow the sacrifices in order to give much needed help back home
who unlike you, must swallow, must continue to sacrifice, out of love, out of
necessity, who come to Me always, whose trust in My Son is great because
great too are their crosses. Pray for them. They suffer potential of so much ---a broken
family, children who become wayward, spouses who lose fidelity to their vows and engage in
affairs, depression and suicidal thoughts that set in when in a foreign land and abuses from difficult
bosses, situations are prolonged.
They endure so much out of Love and so, they are close to my heart. Their heart resembles My Son's
the most, a constant sacrifice, prolonged sacrifice,( lasting years) all for love of family.
For their generosity, faithfulness, obedience to the Father's will,and enduring sacrifice,
i cover them with my Immaculate mantle.
end of message
Note: during the mass, as only the Lord knows, I had my doubts as to this message and
I was praying for some kind of confirmation re: this message when during homily, though not a part of the gospel,
the priest started to talk about praying for the Overseas contract workers all over the world who sacrifice much etc...
and this startled me somewhat because he talked about them at length and out of the blue and I felt it was
a confirmation of the message.

"God is waiting for us in Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. Let us not leave him waiting in vain! Let us not, through distraction and lethargy, pass by the greatest and most important thing life offers us . . . . Let us not pass it heedlessly by. Let us take time, in the course of the week, in passing, to go in and spend a moment with the Lord who is so near. During the day our churches should not be allowed to be dead houses, standing empty and seemingly useless. Jesus Christ's invitation is always being proffered from them.
This sacred proximity to us is always alive in them. It is always calling us and inviting us in. This is what is lovely about Catholic churches, that within them there is, as it were, always worship, because the Eucharistic presence of the Lord dwells always within them" (Pope Benedict XVI).
"In the Blessed Sacrament a heavenly school is open to me, with the best teacher one can possibly imagine, Jesus Christ himself" (Bl. Pope John XXIII).
Mother Teresa
Cheerfulness is often a cloak which hides a life of sacrifice, continual union with God, fervor and generosity.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
I end here because the bell is calling me and urging me. I am going to the wine press of the church, to the holy altar where the sacred blood of that delicious and singular grape, with which only very few are allowed to inebriate themselves, drips continually. There - and you know I cannot do otherwise - I will present you to the Heavenly Father in union with His Son, to whom, for whom, and through whom I am totally yours in the Lord (Letters III p 593).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Impressions are a reflection of behavior or image!
"People are like a mirror which reflects back on us the kind of image we cast. The kind man bears with the infirmities of others, never magnifies trifles and avoids a spirit of fault finding. He knows that the trouble with most people in the world is that they are unloved. No one cares for them either because they are ugly or nasty, or troublesome, or so-called bores. To a great extent their character is made by the resentment they feel toward others who are unkind."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
At that moment, I saw Jesus, who said, I am pleased with what you are doing. And you can continue to be at peace if you always do the best you can in respect to this work of mercy. Be absolutely as frank as possible with your confessor.
Satan gained nothing by tempting you, because you did not enter into conversation with him. Continue to act in this way. You gave Me great glory today by fighting so faithfully. Let it be confirmed and engraved on your heart that I am always with you, even if you don't feel My presence at the time of battle. (1499)

JUNE 28 - FAST
In a special apparition to Ivan in 1984, the Blessed Mother asked him to convey the following message:
I would like the people to pray with me as much as they can during these days. Fast strictly on Wednesdays and Fridays and each day pray at least one full rosary, the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries. (Special Message 8-14-84)
In Acts we see the infant church engaged in fasting and prayer:
While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off (Acts 13:2-3)
Reflection:
Although fasting may seem to be a difficult teaching, the rewards far outweigh its inconvenience. Our Lady wants us to be aware of its power, especially when combined with prayer. It is by prayer, of course, that we attach ourselves to God, but it is by fasting that we detach ourselves from the world. Thus fasting leads to a new freedom of mind and heart.
"Fasting," says Fr. Slavko Barbaric, "is a call to conversion directed to our body. And as we free ourselves from things outside of ourselves, we also free ourselves from the passions within us that are keeping our interior life in chains."
This new freedom allows us to embrace spiritual values through which we can experience true happiness. In this way fasting liberates us from bondage and sets us free to life the joyous life for which we were created.
Application:
On your next fast day, pray especially for freedom from the material.
"This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of Lord is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10)

We must learn from the Humblest of Servants
"Unconscious influence is never superior. As Our Divine Lord said: `I am among you as One Who serves' (Luke 22: 27). From that basic humility came the advice to His disciples, that one who would be greatest among them should be the least of all (Matthew 23: 11). At the same time, He was never so royal as when He committed Himself to death in order to save others."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
When once I asked the Lord Jesus how He could tolerate so many sins and crimes and not punish them, the Lord answered me, I have eternity for punishing [these], and so I am prolonging the time of mercy for the sake of [sinners]. But woe to them if they do not recognize this time of My visitation. My daughter, secretary of My mercy, your duty is not only to write about and proclaim My mercy, but also to beg for this grace for them, so that they too may glorify My mercy. (1160)
O Jesus, I want to live in the present moment, to live as if this were the last day of my life. I want to use every moment scrupulously for the greater glory of God, to use every circumstance for the benefit of my soul. I want to look upon everything, from the point of view that nothing happens without the will of God.
God of unfathomable mercy, embrace the whole world and pour Yourself out upon us through the merciful Heart of Jesus. (1183)
MedjugorjeInspirationals] Medjugorje Day BY Day June 30 - THE MIRACULOUS
"All of us can only stand before him and adore. Even the authority of a priest must in the end be adoration, must spring from adoration and culminate in adoration. And thereby something else becomes clear: Communion and adoration do not stand side by side, or even in opposition, but are indivisibly one" (Pope Benedict XVI).
"If you ate only one meal a week would you survive? It is the same for your soul. Nourish it with the Blessed Sacrament." (Bl. Andre Bessette)
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 -
My Jesus, save everyone; I offer myself as a victim for everyone; strengthen me, take my heart, fill it with Your love and then command me to do whatever You want (AD 53).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
A compassionate man always has time!
"The truly compassionate and kind man who gives up his time for others manages to find time. Like the bread, miraculously multiplied, he gives, and yet he gathers up for himself more than he gave."

As I took the pen in hand, I addressed a short prayer to the Holy Spirit and said, "Jesus, bless this pen so that everything You order me to write may be for the glory of God." Then I heard a voice: Yes, I bless [it], because this writing bears the seal of obedience to your superior and confessor, and by that very fact I am already given glory, and many souls will be drawing profit from it. My daughter, I demand that you devote all your free moments to writing about My goodness and mercy. It is your office and your assignment throughout your life to continue to make known to souls the great mercy I have for them and to exhort them to trust in My bottomless mercy. (1567)

JUNE 30 - THE MIRACULOUS
Concerning the miracle of a fire that several hundred people saw burning on Mt. Podbrdo, but which did not consume anything, the Gospa said:
The fire seen by the faithful was miraculous. It is one of the signs -- a forerunner of the great sign. (First Year, 10-28-81)
In the gospel of Luke, we see the miraculous healing of a crippled woman:
Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And just then there appeared a woman with a spirit that had crippled her for eighteen years. She was bent over and was quite unable to stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, "Woman, you are set free from your ailment." When he laid his hands on her, immediately she stood up straight and began praising God (Luke 13:10- 13)
Reflection:
A striking miracle occurred in Medjugorje involving a forty-three- year-old Italian secretary and mother of three, Diana Basile. Multiple sclerosis had been diagnosed in 1972, along with total urinary incontinence, perineal dermatitis, blindness in one eye, difficulty in walking and, to compound matters, a severe clinical depression. In May of 1984, a friend persuaded Diana to join a pilgrimage group going from Milan to Medjugorje.
On the evening of May 23, she was in the church and a friend helped her to climb the steps to the side chapel where the apparitions were then occurring. From the records kept at the parish in Medjugorje, here are her own words:
At that point I no longer wanted to enter the chapel...but the door was opened and I went in. I knelt just behind the door. When the children came in and knelt down...I heard a loud noise. After that I remember nothing, except an indescribable joy and certain episodes of my life passing before my eyes as though on film.
When it was all over, I followed the children, who went straight to the main altar in the church. I was walking just like everybody else, and I knelt down just as they did. It didn't actually occur to me that anything extraordinary had happened, until my friend came up to me in tears.
Diana's cure had been instantaneous. Later that night she found that she was no longer incontinent, and the dermatitis had completely disappeared. Her right eye, useless for twelve years, had regained perfect vision. The following day she walked the six miles from her hotel in Ljubuski to the church in Medjugorje, and later climbed Mt. Podbrdo.
Application:
Today, offer a prayer of thanksgiving for the miracles at Medjugorje, which give witness to the world of the love of Christ and the Blessed Mother.

I wish I could help people understand that the Eucharist is a heaven.
Heaven is only a tabernacle without doors. God lives on altars with infinite love in order to unite our souls to Him" (St. Teresa of the Andes).
"Do not be ashamed of your convictions . . . When you kneel before the altar, do so in such wise that it is evident you are before Him before whom you kneel" (St. Maximilian Kolbe).
Mother Teresa
God will never, never, never let us down if we have faith and put our trust in Him.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
See how much scorn and sacrilege is committed by the sons of men towards the most holy humanity of His Son in the sacrament of love? It is up to us to defend the honor of the meek Lamb who is always concerned when the case of souls is in question, but always silent where His own case is concerned (Letters III p 64-65).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
The blind we see, but the deaf we do not hear
"One of life's greatest joys comes from loving those whom no one else loves. Thus do we imitate Our Heavenly Father Who certainly cannot see much in any of us creatures that is very attractive. It is curious that most people are more kind to the blind than they are to the deaf. Aristotle commented upon this fact, saying that sight is the most spiritual of all the senses and hearing the most material. For that reason we are moved by sympathy towards those who are afflicted in the most spiritual way."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
January 30, 1930. One-day retreat. The Lord gave me to know, during meditation, that as long as my heart beats in my breast, I must always strive to spread the Kingdom of God on earth. I am to fight for the glory of my Creator.
I know that I will give God the glory He expects of me if I try faithfully to cooperate with God's grace. (1548)
O my Jesus, Life of my soul, my Life, my Savior, my sweetest Bridegroom, and at the same time my Judge, You know that in this last hour of mine I do not count on any merits of my own, but only on Your mercy. Even as of today, I immerse myself totally in the abyss of Your mercy, which is always open to every soul.
O my Jesus, I have only one task to carry out in my lifetime, in death, and throughout eternity, and that is to adore Your incomprehensible mercy. No mind, either of Angel or of man, will ever fathom the mysteries of Your mercy, O God. The Angels are lost in amazement before the mystery of divine mercy, but cannot comprehend it. Everything that has come from the Creator's hand is contained in this inconceivable mystery; that is to say, in the very depths of His tender mercy, When I meditate on this, my spirit swoons, and my heart dissolves in joy. O Jesus, it is through Your most compassionate Heart, as through a crystal, that the rays of divine mercy have come to us. (1553)

It is not what we do but how much love we put into it.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
In these sad times when faith is dead and wickedness is triumphant; when we are surrounded by those who have perpetual hatred in their hearts and blasphemy on their lips, the surest way to remaining immune from the pestiferous disease which surrounds us is to strengthen ourselves with the Eucharistic food. This cannot be achieved by those who, month after month, live without satiating themselves with the Immaculate Flesh of the Divine Lamb (AdFP 463).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
We reap what we sow!
"If we start with the belief that most people in the world are crooks, it is amazing how many crooks we find. If, however, we go into the world with the assumption that everyone is nice, we are constantly running into nice people. To a great extent the world is what we make it. We get back what we give. If we sow hate, we reap hate; if we scatter love and gentleness we harvest love and happiness. "
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
O my God, let everything that is in me praise You, my Lord and Creator; and with every beat of my heart I want to praise Your unfathomable mercy. I want to tell souls of Your goodness and encourage them to trust in Your mercy. That is my mission, which You yourself have entrusted to me, O Lord, in this life and in the life to come. (1325)
After Communion today, Jesus told me how much He desires to come to human hearts. I desire to unite Myself with human souls; My great delight is to unite Myself with souls. Know, My daughter, that when I come to a human heart in Holy Communion, My hands are full of all kinds of graces which I want to give to the soul. But souls do not even pay any attention to Me; they leave Me to Myself and busy themselves with other things. Oh, how sad I am that souls do not recognize Love! They treat Me as a dead object. I answered Jesus, "O Treasure of my heart, the only object of my love and entire delight of my soul, I want to adore You in my heart as You are adored on the throne of Your eternal glory. My love wants to make up to You at least in part for the coldness of so great a number of souls. Jesus, behold my heart which is for You a dwelling place to which no one else has entry. You alone repose in it as in a beautiful garden. (1385)

JUNE 27 - MAY PRAYER BE YOUR JOY
Today Our Lady speaks of joy in prayer:
Dear children, may your prayer be a joyful encounter with the Lord. But know that I cannot guide you as long as you do not experience joy in prayer. From day to day I wish to lead you more deeply into prayer, but I cannot force you. (Weekly Message 8-14-86)
Psalm 34 is a prayer of rejoicing:
I will bless the Lord at all times:
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the Lord:
let the humble hear and be glad
.O magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together. Psalm 34:1-3
Reflection:
Our Lady of Medjugorje emphasizes that it is the quality of our prayer which is most important. It is to be an intimate encounter with God, a touching of our heart to his. The story is told by the English journalist William Aitken of a certain priest who was disturbed to see a shabby old man go into his church at noon every day and come out again after a few minutes. What could he be doing? He informed the caretaker and bade him question the old man. After all, the place contained valuable furnishings.
"I go to pray," the old man said in reply to the caretaker's questioning.
"Come, come now," said the other, "you are never long enough in the church to pray."
"Well, you see," the shabby old man went on, "I cannot pray a long prayer, but every day at twelve o'clock, I just comes and says, `Jesus, it's Jim' and waits a minute and then comes away. It's just a little prayer, but I guess he hears me."
When Jim was injured some time later and taken to the hospital, he had a wonderful influence on others in the ward. Grumbling patients became cheerful and often the ward would ring with laughter.
"Well, Jim," said the sister to him one day, "the men say you are responsible for this change in the ward. They say you are always happy." "Aye, sister, that I am. I can't help being happy. You see, it's my visitor. Every day he makes me happy."
"Your visitor?" The sister was puzzled. She always noticed that Jim's chair was empty on visiting days, for he was a lonely old man, with no relations. "But when does he come?"
"Every day," Jim replied, the light in his eyes growing brighter. "Yes, every day at twelve o'clock he comes and stands at the foot of my bed. I see him and he smiles and says, "Jim, its Jesus."
Application:
Today seek to make your prayer a meeting of hearts, an encounter with love.

I am near you and thank all those who, through these years, have accepted my messages, have poured them into their life and decided for holiness and peace. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Birth of St. John the Baptist—Feast, June 24
"To adore Jesus Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament is first of all to
acknowledge him truly, really and substantially present therein by the humble
sentiment of a lively and spontaneous faith: humbly surrendering our feeble reason
to the divinity of this sublime Mystery; asking neither to see or touch, like
the unbelieving Apostle, before accepting the truth of Jesus Hostia; merely
waiting, to prostrate ourselves at His feet, for the infallible and gentle word
of the Church telling us like Saint John the Baptist: `Look, this is the Lamb
of God; look, this is he who takes away the sin of the world'" (St. Peter
Julian Eymard).
Mother Teresa
I serve Jesus twenty-four hours a day. Whatever I do is for Him. And He gives me strength.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Each holy Mass heard with devotion, produces marvellous effects in our souls, spiritual and material graces, that we ourselves do not know. For such purposes do not spend your money uselessly, make a sacrifice of it and come here to hear holy Mass (FSP 45).
It would be easier for the earth to exist without the sun than without the holy sacrifice of the Mass (AP).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
The golden rule of love!
"Since God finds us lovable because He put some of His love into us, so we can find others lovable because we put some of our love into them. But to do this implies a basic kindness which is always prepared to be pleasant with other people."

When I was steeped in a prayer of thanksgiving for the great grace that I had received from God; namely, that of seeing Father, I became united in a special way with the Lord who said to me, He is a priest after My own Heart; his efforts are pleasing to Me. You see, My daughter, that My will must be done and that which I had promised you, I shall do. Through him I spread comfort to suffering and careworn souls. Through him it pleased Me to proclaim the worship of My mercy. And through this work of mercy more souls will come close to Me than otherwise would have, even if he had kept giving absolution day and night for the rest of his life, because by so doing, he would have labored only for as long as he lived; whereas, thanks to this work of mercy, he will be laboring till the end of the world.

JUNE 26 - THE PRAYER GROUP
On this day after the anniversary, Our Lady said to Ivan's prayer group:
Dear children, your Mother told you yesterday (the anniversary) to renew the messages from now on. Your Mother asks, especially from the prayer group, that you live my messages in prayer from this time forward. If you want your Mother to give other and new messages, you have to first live the messages I have already given. (Visionary Prayer Group 6-26-89)
In the Acts of the Apostles, we find that Our Lady too was part of a very special prayer group:
"When they had entered the city, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying, Peter, and John and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. All these were constantly devoting themselves to prayer, together with certain women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as his brothers." (Acts 1:13-14)
Reflection:
Prayer groups have played a major role in Medjugorje. At the request of Our Lady, Ivan and Marija formed a group, as did Jelena and Marijana, the locutionists. Among the prayer guidelines the Madonna gave them are the following:
Pray in deep meditation. Do not look at your watch all the time, but allow yourself to be led by the grace of God. Do not concern yourself too much with the things of this world, but entrust all that in prayer to the Heavenly Father.
If one is greatly preoccupied, he will not be able to pray well because internal serenity is lacking. God will contribute to bring a successful end to the things of here below, if one strives to work for the things of God.
Those who attend school or go to work must pray half an hour in the morning and in the evening and, if possible, participate in the Eucharist. It is necessary to extend the spirit of prayer to daily work, that is to say, to accompany work with prayer.
Application:
Consider attending a prayer group meeting in your local Catholic community in the next week or two. If there are not any, would you consider organizing a group with the help of your parish priest?

"God is waiting for us in Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. Let us not leave him waiting in vain! Let us not, through distraction and lethargy, pass by the greatest and most important thing life offers us . . . . Let us not pass it heedlessly by. Let us take time, in the course of the week, in passing, to go in and spend a moment with the Lord who is so near. During the day our churches should not be allowed to be dead houses, standing empty and seemingly useless. Jesus Christ's invitation is always being proffered from them.
This sacred proximity to us is always alive in them. It is always calling us and inviting us in. This is what is lovely about Catholic churches, that within them there is, as it were, always worship, because the Eucharistic presence of the Lord dwells always within them" (Pope Benedict XVI).
"In the Blessed Sacrament a heavenly school is open to me, with the best teacher one can possibly imagine, Jesus Christ himself" (Bl. Pope John XXIII).
Mother Teresa
Cheerfulness is often a cloak which hides a life of sacrifice, continual union with God, fervor and generosity.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
I end here because the bell is calling me and urging me. I am going to the wine press of the church, to the holy altar where the sacred blood of that delicious and singular grape, with which only very few are allowed to inebriate themselves, drips continually. There - and you know I cannot do otherwise - I will present you to the Heavenly Father in union with His Son, to whom, for whom, and through whom I am totally yours in the Lord (Letters III p 593).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Impressions are a reflection of behavior or image!
"People are like a mirror which reflects back on us the kind of image we cast. The kind man bears with the infirmities of others, never magnifies trifles and avoids a spirit of fault finding. He knows that the trouble with most people in the world is that they are unloved. No one cares for them either because they are ugly or nasty, or troublesome, or so-called bores. To a great extent their character is made by the resentment they feel toward others who are unkind."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
At that moment, I saw Jesus, who said, I am pleased with what you are doing. And you can continue to be at peace if you always do the best you can in respect to this work of mercy. Be absolutely as frank as possible with your confessor.
Satan gained nothing by tempting you, because you did not enter into conversation with him. Continue to act in this way. You gave Me great glory today by fighting so faithfully. Let it be confirmed and engraved on your heart that I am always with you, even if you don't feel My presence at the time of battle. (1499)
My health has improved somewhat. I went down to the refectory and the chapel today. I still cannot resume my duties, and so I stay in my cell at the hand-loom [making borders for altar linens]. I enjoy this work very much, but still, even with such light work, I tire easily. I see how feeble I am. There are no indifferent moments in my life, since every moment of my life is filled with prayer, suffering, and work. If not in one way, then in another, I glorify God; and if God were to give me a second life, I do not know whether I would make better use of it... (1545)

JUNE 28 - FAST
In a special apparition to Ivan in 1984, the Blessed Mother asked him to convey the following message:
I would like the people to pray with me as much as they can during these days. Fast strictly on Wednesdays and Fridays and each day pray at least one full rosary, the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries. (Special Message 8-14-84)
In Acts we see the infant church engaged in fasting and prayer:
While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off (Acts 13:2-3)
Reflection:
Although fasting may seem to be a difficult teaching, the rewards far outweigh its inconvenience. Our Lady wants us to be aware of its power, especially when combined with prayer. It is by prayer, of course, that we attach ourselves to God, but it is by fasting that we detach ourselves from the world. Thus fasting leads to a new freedom of mind and heart.
"Fasting," says Fr. Slavko Barbaric, "is a call to conversion directed to our body. And as we free ourselves from things outside of ourselves, we also free ourselves from the passions within us that are keeping our interior life in chains."
This new freedom allows us to embrace spiritual values through which we can experience true happiness. In this way fasting liberates us from bondage and sets us free to life the joyous life for which we were created.
Application:
On your next fast day, pray especially for freedom from the material.

UNE 23 - HAVE A PURE HEART
On this day in 1988, the Madonna said to Ivan's prayer group:
Dear children, I am happy and so is my Son. Go to confession to have a pure heart for the anniversary. Come to pray on the hill tomorrow between ten and midnight, but I will not appear. (Visionary's Prayer Group 6-23-88)
St. John also speaks of confession: "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us (1John 1:8-10).
Reflection:
John's words speak to our times. Today there is a growing tendency to joke about sin, to downplay it, or to deny it. For example, people nowadays no longer lie; they merely juggle the facts or stretch the truth. People no longer steal: they rip-off, lift, or `borrow'. People no longer commit adultery; they fool around or live in the fast lane. People no longer cheat; they pad expenses or fudge figures. People no longer kill unborn children; they terminate a pregnancy or remove an unwanted fetus.
Downplaying or denying sin inevitably leads to downplaying or denying one's need for Christ. For if we have no sins that need forgiving, we have no need for Jesus Christ. Thus the worst evil is not to commit sin, but to commit sin and then to deny it. Theologian Louis Evely once said: `It is better to sin with sincerity than to lie to oneself in order to stay virtuous.'
Concretely, as Our Lady asks of us today, this means using the sacrament of reconciliation: admitting our sin, seeking forgiveness, and receiving absolution. For it was for this gift that Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, offered himself for us on Calvary. Its fruit is new life.
Application:
This week, if you have not done so for a while, receive the sacrament of reconciliation so as, `to have a pure heart for the anniversary,' as Our Lady urges.
On the 25th of each month, Our Lady appears to the Medjugorje visionary Marija to give us her message to the world. Below is the latest official English translation as provided by the Information Center in Medjugorje.
Message of May 25, 2011:
“Dear children! Give thanks with me to the Most High for my presence with you. My heart is joyful watching the love and joy in the living of my messages. Many of you have responded, but I wait for, and seek, all the hearts that have fallen asleep to awaken from the sleep of unbelief. Little children, draw even closer to my Immaculate Heart so that I can lead all of you toward eternity. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.” (Rom. 13:11-14)
Message of June 2, 2011:
“Dear children! As I call you to prayer for those who have not come to know the love of God, if you were to look into your hearts, you would comprehend that I am speaking about many of you. With an open heart, sincerely ask yourselves if you want the living God, or do you want to eliminate Him and live as you want? Look around you, my children, and see where the world is going, the world that thinks of doing everything without the Father, and which wanders in the darkness of temptation. I am offering to you the light of the Truth and the Holy Spirit. According to God’s plan, I am with you to help you to have my Son, His Cross and Resurrection, triumph in your hearts. As a mother, I desire and pray for your unity with my Son and His works. I am with you; you decide. Thank you.”
Mary asks us to look into our own hearts and see what we have put in first place there. Many of us in this world have decided to search for love and happiness by following common idols, such as money, prestige, power, lust, pleasure, greed, looking sexy, and our own personal version of what we think Church teachings should be. And, oh, those sneaky, less obvious idols, which can trap our souls, even for those of us who go to Mass and say we believe in God. . . These covert habits sneak up on us, such as judgment of others, thinking oneself as somehow better than our neighbor, being unkind, overly fearful or negative, unforgiving, addicted to food, drink, sexual fantasies–you name it, refusing to say the name Jesus or evangelize for fear of persecution, prolonged rage at God, cursing the darkness, not trusting God, putting a relationship above God, or not asking God if we’re supposed to have the relationships we do, wanting to be liked more than wanting to love, wanting the world to think we’re “great” or “cool,” caring too much what others think, focusing too much on appearance, not speaking up or acting when injustices occur, putting our security or sense of well-being in stuff, not helping the poor, the difficult, the lonely, refusing to love everyone–yes, everyone, or just sitting down every evening to be entertained in front of mindless T.V. shows, rather than praying to Almighty God, alone, or with our families. All these habits reveal what we’re attracted to and what we have placed as first in our hearts.
We will always be tempted, but not to fear. We’re human. Mary isn’t expecting us to never fall or to be perfect. Mary is simply asking us the most important question there is. Have we chosen God? She wants us to ask ourselves, Have we allowed God first place in our lives? Are we willing to speak up and say whatever He tells us to? Are we willing to let Him take us wherever He wants us to go?
Message of May 25, 2011:
“Dear children! My prayer today is for all of you who seek the grace of conversion. You knock on the door of my heart, but without hope and prayer, in sin, and without the Sacrament of Reconciliation with God. Leave sin, and decide, little children, for holiness. Only in this way can I help you, hear your prayers, and seek intercession before the Most High. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Knock with hope and with prayer, says Our Lady. Make a choice of the will to leave behind sin and be completely forgiven and renewed in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. If we cannot envision holiness for ourselves, then we will not be able to move toward it. Envision for yourself a life without sin, imagine how beautiful it could be. And move, each day, a step in that heavenly direction. Then you will surely see the effect of your prayers and those of your Mother.

Message of May 2, 2011:
“Dear children; God the Father is sending me to show you the way of salvation, because He, my children, desires to save you and not to condemn you. That is why I, as a mother, am gathering you around me, because with my motherly love I desire to help you to be free of the dirtiness of the past and to begin to live anew and differently. I am calling you to resurrect in my Son. Along with confession of sins renounce everything that has distanced you from my Son and that has made your life empty and unsuccessful. Say ‘yes’ to the Father with the heart and set out on the way of salvation to which He is calling you through the Holy Spirit. Thank you. I am especially praying for the shepherds (priests), for God to help them to be alongside you with a fullness of heart.”
Our Lady is calling us to to confess our sins. She want us “to begin anew and live differently,” and asks us not just to go to confession, but with the force of our human wills, renounce everything that has distanced us from Jesus and made our lives “empty” and “unsuccessful,” in any way. To this end, we are still in a time when the promises of Divine Mercy Sunday–of forgiveness for ALL our sins and any punishment due to sin–is ours, if we went to Mass and received Communion on Divine Mercy Sunday, and if we went, or will go to, Confession soon. Click here to read of Jesus’ great promise.
Message of April 2, 2011:
“Dear children; With motherly love I desire to open the heart of each of you and to teach you personal unity with the Father. To accept this, you must comprehend that you are important to God and that He is calling you individually. You must comprehend that your prayer is a conversation of a child with the Father; that love is the way by which you must set out – love for God and for your neighbor. That is, my children, the love that has no boundaries, that is the love that emanates from truth and goes to the end. Follow me, my children, so that also others, in recognizing the truth and love in you, may follow you. Thank you.”
Once again Our Lady called us to pray for our shepherds (priests) and said: ”They have a special place in my heart. They represent my Son.”
Message of March 25, 2011:
“Dear children! In a special way today I desire to call you to conversion. As of today, may new life begin in your heart. Children, I desire to see your ‘yes’, and may your life be a joyful living of God’s will at every moment of your life. In a special way today, I bless you with my motherly blessing of peace, love and unity in my heart and in the heart of my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Annual Apparition of Our Lady to Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo on March 18, 2011
The visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo had daily apparitions from June 24th 1981 to December 25th 1982. During the last daily apparition, Our Lady gave her the 10th secret, and told her that she would appear to her once a year, on the 18th of March. It has been this way through the years. Several thousand pilgrims gathered in prayer of the Rosary at the ‘Blue Cross’. The apparition lasted from 13:46 to 13:50.
“Dear children! I am with you in the name of the greatest Love, in the name of dear God, who has come close to you through my Son and has shown you real love. I desire to lead you on the way of God. I desire to teach you real love so that others may see it in you, that you may see it in others, that you may be a brother to them and that others may see a merciful brother in you. My children, do not be afraid to open your hearts to me. With motherly love, I will show you what I expect of each of you, what I expect of my apostles. Set out with me. Thank you.”
Message of March 2, 2011:
“Dear children; My motherly heart suffers tremendously as I look at my children who persistently put what is human before what is of God; at my children who, despite everything that surrounds them and despite all the signs that are sent to them, think that they can walk without my Son. They cannot! They are walking to eternal perdition. That is why I am gathering you, who are ready to open your heart to me, you who are ready to be apostles of my love, to help me; so that by living God’s love you may be an example to those who do not know it. May fasting and prayer give you strength in that and I bless you with motherly blessing in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Thank you.”
Our Lady was very sad.
“Dear children! Nature is awakening and on the trees the first buds are seen which will bring most beautiful flowers and fruit. I desire that you also, little children, work on your conversion and that you be those who witness with their life, so that your example may be a sign and an incentive for conversion to others. I am with you and before my Son Jesus I intercede for your conversion. Thank you for having responded to my call.
Our conversion, our daily walk to let the glory of God within us shine forth to others is “work,” as Mary says. We are made in the image of God, and who we human beings are lies far beyond our own comprehension. To discover and reveal our divine nature takes vigilance on our part–a shedding of the ego, and of sin, to radiate beams of God’s heart, through our words, our actions, and our eyes. This work of conversion is nothing less than helping God reveal Himself to the world, for as a priest friend of mine once said, “If we could but see the beauty of just one human soul, we would weep with joy and wonder.”
Message of January 2, 2011:
“Dear children; You are gathering around me, you are seeking your way, you are seeking, you are seeking the truth but are forgetting what is the most important, you are forgetting to pray properly. Your lips pronounce countless words, but your spirit does not feel anything. Wandering in darkness, you even imagine God Himself according to yourselves, and not such as He really is in His love. Dear children, proper prayer comes from the depth of your heart, from your suffering, from your joy, from your seeking the forgiveness of sins. This is the way to come to know the right God and by that also yourselves, because you are created according to Him. Prayer will bring you to the fulfillment of my desire, of my mission here with you, to the unity in God’s family. Thank you.”
Our Lady blessed everyone present, thanked them and called us to pray for priests.
“Dear children! Also today I am with you and I am looking at you and blessing you, and I am not losing hope that this world will change for the good and that peace will reign in the hearts of men. Joy will begin to reign in the world because you have opened yourselves to my call and to God’s love. The Holy Spirit is changing a multitude of those who have said ‘yes’. Therefore I desire to say to you: thank you for having responded to my call.”
Joy is a fruit of the Spirit. It is a gift to those who strive towards holiness. Scripture speaks of this true joy, rooted in heaven, not on earth, which the world cannot take away. When Jesus spoke to his disciples in the Gospel of John, Chapter 15, verses 10 and 11, he said, “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 may be in you and your joy may be complete.”
And then he said these words to reassure his disciples, because he was headed for his crucifixion, “I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.”
Message of January 2, 2011:
Mirjana arrived at the Blue Cross at 8:55 a.m. Our Lady came in the apparition at 9:02 a.m. and stayed for approximately seven minutes. It was very cold, but despite the cold, the thousands who had gathered were very joyful. Having just been to the mountain the night before, with Ivan, during a special prayer group apparition, most only had a few hours sleep before waking, dressing and heading back to Apparition Mountain for Mirjana’s second of the month apparition—a beautiful grace.
“Dear children; Today I call you to unity in Jesus, my Son. My Motherly Heart prays that you may comprehend that you are God’s family. Through the spiritual freedom of will, which the Heavenly Father has given you, you are called to become cognizant of the truth, the good or the evil. May prayer and fasting open your hearts and help you to discover the Heavenly Father through my Son. In discovering the Father, your life will be directed to carrying out of God’s will and the realization of God’s family, in the way that my Son desires. I will not leave you alone on this path. Thank you.”
Mirjana felt that she could say to Our Lady: “We have all come to you with our sufferings and crosses. Help us, we implore you.” Our Lady extended Her hands towards us and said:
“Open your hearts to me. Give your sufferings to me. The Mother will help.”
Mirjana also stated, after the apparition, that Our Lady emphasized the importance of the priest’s blessing.
Our Lady Queen of Peace of Medjugorje’s Prayer Group Apparition
through the visonary, Ivan:
Message of January 1, 2011
Our Lady appeared to Ivan on top of Apparition Mountain at a little after 10:00 p.m. on January 1, 2011. The apparition lasted about 10 minutes. There were thousands of pilgrims present for this apparition.
The following is Ivan’s description of the apparition:
Tonight, as after every day after every encounter with Our Lady, I want to describe also to you what was the most important from this meeting tonight. Tonight Our Lady came to us very joyful and happy and greeted all of us at the beginning with Her usual Motherly greeting: “Praised be Jesus, my dear children.” Afterwards Our Lady said:
“Dear children also today the Mother calls you with joy – pray, pray, pray. Pray, dear children, and help me realize my plans which I desire to realize with the world and with this parish. Dear children, in a special way today I call you to pray for vocations in the Church, for a firm faith of my priests. Know, dear children, that I always pray with you when it is the most difficult for you, therefore, persevere in prayer. Pray together with me. Also today I want to say thank you to you for having responded, for having accepted my messages and for living my messages.”
Afterwards, Our Lady prayed for a longer time over all of us here with Her arms extended. She blessed us all with Her Motherly blessing and blessed everything you brought to be blessed. After that, She prayed especially over you the sick who are present here. I recommended all of you, all your needs, your intentions, your families and in a special way, as always, I recommended the sick. Afterwards a conversation followed, I spoke to Our Lady and She spoke to me. After that conversation, Our Lady continued to pray over all of us and in that prayer She left in an illuminated Sign of the Cross with the greeting: “Go in peace, my dear children”.
“Dear children! Today, I and my Son desire to give you an abundance of joy and peace so that each of you may be a joyful carrier and witness of peace and joy in the places where you live. Little children, be a blessing and be peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
At first glance, perhaps this message seems too simple, even childish. But I invite you, I invite myself, to live this message in each moment of each day, and lo, suddenly it gains a complexity of difficulties, excuses, and repeated failures. When we fall short of being carriers of joy and witnesses of peace where we live, let us not forget this message, that Jesus and Mary desire to GIVE US AN ABUNDANCE OF JOY AND PEACE. Let us say Thank You, even if we feel like carriers of turmoil and woe, and let us embrace Their gift with the full force of our will. Join me in saying, Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Mary. Let us enter into this glorious Christmas season, with hearts open to the peace and joy God and Mary wish to give us, as we collapse like a child, embracing the one he/she loves most.
Message of November 2, 2010:
“Dear children; Today I am praying here with you that you may gather the strength to open your hearts and thus to become aware of the mighty love of the suffering God. Through this His love, goodness and meekness, I am also with you. I invite you for this special time of preparation to be a time of prayer, penance and conversion. My children, you need God. You cannot go forward without my Son. When you comprehend and accept this, what was promised to you will be realized. Through the Holy Spirit the Kingdom of Heaven will be born in your hearts. I am leading you to this. Thank you.”

That is all for this evening.
WE THANK YOU ALL FOR JOINING US IN PRAYER THIS EVENING.

The periods that sometimes appear after some of Blessed Mothers words mean this is where She has .... paused.... before Her next word or paragraph.
