Be Prepared at all times
Monday 1st August 2011 time 23.00 hours
My dearly beloved daughter you are now truly in union with Me at last. Now you will see why there is an urgency to help people to open their eyes so that they can convert in order to enter My Father’s kingdom.
So many men today mock Me. When My name is mentioned by believers in a revered manner they, too, are mocked, sneered and laughed at. Then there are others who become angry when challenged in My name. There are also others who not only deny Me but who also hate Me. Never before has there been so many people in the world who have turned their back on the faith.
So many souls chose to dismiss any thought that I, or My Eternal Father exist. They think it does not matter whether or not they believe and that it is irrelevant in their lives. Many of those lukewarm in their faith casually dismiss My teachings which they merely pay lip service to. They believe that they will have plenty of time later on in life to devote the time they need to their faith. This is especially true of the younger generation who think that their faith is not something they need to bother about just yet. They believe that they have many years ahead of them to honour Me their beloved Saviour and My Eternal Father. This is why older people tend to re-kindle their faith at a later stage of their lives when they begin to think about the hereafter.
What man fails to grasp is that they can die at any moment, any time, any age from birth to old age. It does not matter. He must be prepared at all times.
I implore all believers to pray for the discernment to teach young people everywhere of the urgent need to open their eyes to the love that I and my Eternal Father has for each of them. Help to open their eyes to the promise of Paradise. It is your duty to Me now so that I do not lose My younger children to the lies that Satan spreads in the world today.
Help Me save all those who believe that time is plentiful for them to pay attention to their souls in preparation for the New Paradise on earth which is drawing nears and which will become a reality in the blink of an eye when most of you least expect it.
Your beloved teacher and saviour
Jesus Christ

Questions to Jesus
Monday 1st August 2011 23.30 hours
After receiving the message entitled “Be Prepared at all times” the visionary saw an image of Jesus in which he appeared sad. She then asked him a number of questions to which he replied.
Question to Jesus “Are you sad?”
Answer: “Yes and weary. The sins of man are tearing my heart in two.
Question to Jesus “What will help?”
Answer: “Prayer and much of it. The devotion of My followers through the daily recital of the Divine Mercy and the Holy Rosary will save My children. They, My followers, must persevere even if this is hard.”
Question to Jesus “What upsets you most?”
Answers:
“Those who not only hate Me but who chose to worship Satan in obscene rituals where they cannot see how they are being lied to.
“My sacred servants who have lost their love for Me.
“Those who persecute others
“Those murderers with no regard for the lives of My children.
“Abortion, the worse form of genocide. I spill tears every single moment for My little souls who never get to take their first breath.
“War and the ease in which it is inflicted usually by those who, that if they were to be placed in the middle of a battlefield, would run away in cowardice. Many of these people who declare war only do so to gain power. They offend Me greatly.
Question to Jesus “What makes you happy?”
Answer: “The faith of My followers and those who are determined to help Me save souls. I love them with such tenderness and compassion. They will be rewarded greatly in My Father’s Kingdom.
Conclusion
Our Lady’s message to Mirjana Soldo of August 2nd, 2011
"Dear children; Today I call you to be born anew in prayer and through the Holy Spirit, to become a new people with my Son; a people who knows that if they have lost God, they have lost themselves; a people who knows that, with God, despite all sufferings and trials, they are secure and saved. I call you to gather into God’s family and to be strengthened with the Father’s strength. As individuals, my children, you cannot stop the evil that wants to begin to rule in this world and to destroy it. But, according to God’s will, all together, with my Son, you can change everything and heal the world. I call you to pray with all your heart for your shepherds, because my Son chose them. Thank you."
Medjugorje Day By Day July 30 - FOLLOW THE SHEPHERD
The womb of Our Immaculate Mother Mary is "wholly untouched, not dug nor sown, from heaven's dew alone, it brings forth a Savior, and provides mortal men with the Bread of angels and the food of eternal life" (St. Irenaeus).
Mother Teresa -
He could know all possible knowledge, and all of theology and all the things about God, but we would not be able to light a fire in the hearts of the people. We could just be uttering words, not living those words. That is why it is necessary for us that our words be the fruit of our life, the fruit of our prayers. "
Meditations by Padre Pio -
In order to attract us the Lord gives us many graces and we imagine we are almost in Heaven. We do not know, however, that to grow we need hard bread, crosses, humiliations, trials and contradictions (FSP 86).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Passion is blind without knowledge
"Passion is not a reflex like the watering of a dog's mouth in the presence of food. It is true that there are many similarities between passion in animals and passion in man, but it must never be forgotten that in man, passion cannot operate unless something is known."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
During meditation, the Lord gave me knowledge of the joy of heaven and of the saints on our arrival there; they love God as the sole object of their love, but they also have a tender and heartfelt love for us. It is from the face of God that this joy flows out upon all, because we see Him face to face. His face is so sweet that the soul falls anew into ecstasy. (1592)
The Lord Himself moves me to write prayers and hymns about His mercy, and these hymns of praise force themselves upon His mercy, and these hymns of praise force themselves upon my lips. I have noticed that ready-formulated words of praise of God's mercy enter my mind, and so I have resolved to write them down in so far as is within my power, I can feel God urging me to do so. (1593)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 30 - FOLLOW THE SHEPHERD
Mary asks us not to fear, but to follow the Good Shepherd:
Dear children, sometimes you oppress your hearts with certain matters, but this is not necessary. Sometimes you are frightened by this or that, but again, why do you need that? Who is with Jesus need not fear. Do not worry or be anxious about what will happen tomorrow or a few years from now. Abandon yourselves to Jesus, for only that way can you be the faithful sheep that follow their Shepherd (Locutionists Jelena & Mirjana March 1, 1987).
And in John's gospel, Jesus also speaks of the Good Shepherd:
I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep (Jn 10: 14-15).
Reflection:
At night, sheep in ancient Israel were gathered into a sheepfold to protect them from thieves, weather, or wild animals. The sheepfolds were caves, sheds, or open areas surrounded by low walls made of stones or branches. The shepherd slept in the fold to protect the sheep, often at the entrance. Wild animals could not get in, nor the sheep get out, without alerting him. He was, literally, the "sheepgate."
» Jesus' listeners were aware of the shepherd's role and his dedication in protecting his flock. In speaking of himself as the Good Shepherd, Christ also evoked the comforting images of Psalm 23, which he and his followers may well have known by heart.
Application:
The following is a poetic version on the 23rd Psalm. Pray it « with the heart, » as Our Lady asks, that is may calm any anxiety:
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
he leadeth me beside the still waters;
he restoreth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
for years without end (King James Version).
Octave to God The Father starts July 31 to end on His Feast, August 7th
THE EIGHT DAYS OF THE HOLY OCTAVE OF CONSECRATION
TO GOD OUR FATHER
_____________________________________________________________________________________
THE FORMAL CHAPLET
A Preparatory Prayer Invoking the Presence of God Our Father:
Dearest Father--my Creator and my God:
You promised that in every place where we honor Your name, You would come to us and bless us.
O Father, arise and come to rest in us, Your children. Clothe us in Your Salvation and let us rejoice in Your goodness. Please do not turn away our faces from Your loving presence.
If we have found favor in Your sight, show us Your face so that we may know You and find grace before Your eyes. Please speak to us now as You spoke to Moses--as a man speaks to his friend.
Let it be known this day that You are the "Father of All Mankind" Who can turn all hearts back to Yourself,
and that we are Your children who desire only to do Your Will in all things. Answer us, Lord; answer us--so all Your children may know that You are mankind's one true God and Father.
As Your prodigal children, we want only to return home to You. As we approach You, Father, please run to meet us. And in Your unconditional love and compassion, embrace and kiss us.
Like Mary, Your handmaid, and Jesus, Your Son, we love You, Father, and we give ourselves to You. Following those You sent to bring us back home, we now freely consecrate ourselves to You, saying:
(With Mary, our Mother)--"Be it done to me according to Your Will'."
(Through Jesus, our God and Savior)--"Not as I will but as You will. "
(In the Holy Spirit, our God and Sanctifier)--"Abba, Father!"
Jesus promised, when two or three are gathered together in His name,
He is in the midst of us. So as Jesus is in You and You in Jesus--and Jesus is the vine and we are the branches--be with us now, and through Your Holy Spirit, dwell in us always as Your living temples.
Bless us, Father, and walk among us, Your children. And may Your Glory descend upon us as the transforming fire of Your tender love and mercy--now and forever. Amen.
Dearest God Our Father, I humbly ask that on my journey home to You, Your Holy Angels protect and guide me; that Your Blessed Saints in Heaven intercede for me; and that Your suffering souls in Purgatory pray for me, as I pray for them now. Amen.
1--Hail Mary…
2--Jesus, my God and my Savior, You loved me so much, You died for me on the Cross, so that I, too, could return to our Father in Heaven. You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Through Your Holy Eucharist, please sustain me and be present with me always on my journey home. Amen.
3--Holy Spirit, my God and my Sanctifier, Jesus sent You to me for my journey back home
to the Father. Please purify and refine me. Fill me with Your Divine Light and Love so that the Presence of God may dwell in me. Amen.
FIRST OCTAVE: THE DISOBEDIENCE AND EXILE OF GOD
OUR FATHER'S CHILDREN
Let us Meditate on (1 ) Adam and Eve's choice not to do
God Our Father's Will, (2) their exile from the Paradise He
created for them, and (3) Our Father's promise that "the
woman" (Mary) would someday Triumph by "crushing the
head" of the serpent that seduced them into disobedience.
God Our Father was with us at the beginning in the Paradise He created for us--the Paradise of
His Divine Will. Seduced by Satan, Adam and Eve chose not to do the Will of God and were, therefore,
expelled from this Paradise and denied God's intimate presence. However, Our Father promised that "the woman" would ultimately defeat the evil that had caused this separation--the evil of saying "No" to God's Will. (Gen 2:8-3:24)

SECOND OCTAVE: THE PRESENCE OF GOD OUR FATHER IN THE OLD TESTAMENT ERA
Let us meditate on God Our Father's Presence Among Us During the Old Testament era:
Although God's children were expelled from Paradise by their choice not to do God's Will, God never abandoned them. He was present with them from the beginning. In Old Testament times, He manifested His presence through His own voice, the words of His Prophets, in the burning bush, in a pillar of smoke, and in the Ark of the Covenant.
After God rescued His children from the bondage of Egypt, He requested that they
celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for eight days each year.
He wanted them to remember that He loved them, He saved them, and He was present with them.
Later when God was present in the Ark of the Covenant, Solomon built a magnificent Temple to house it.
He then celebrated an eight-day Feast of Dedication in preparation for God's presence in the Temple. And God responded by manifesting His presence in a tangible and powerful way.
At the close of the Old Testament, the Maccabee's re-instituted this eight-day feast to purify and re-dedicate the Temple that had been defiled through Pagan influence, so the Presence of God would dwell with them once more. (Lev 8:33-36-9:1-24; 23:33-43; 2 Chron 7:1-9; 2 Mac 2:1-12)
Our Father Prayer
In praise/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In thanksgiving/ I love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In offering/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In repentance/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In my inheritance/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In saying my "Yes"/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In fidelity/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In consecration/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
THIRD OCTAVE: THE FIAT OF MARY, OUR MOTHER
Let us meditate on (1) Mary's "Triumphant" Fiat, her "Yes" to God's Will, and (2) how she became the "New Ark," a living tabernacle for the newly manifested presence of God: Jesus, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity--Savior of God Our Father's children:
Mary gave her "Yes" when the angel Gabriel came to her and asked her to be the mother of the Son of God. The Holy Spirit came upon her and the power of God Our Father overshadowed her. In saying "Yes" to God's Will, Mary ("the woman") allowed God to be present with His children in a new way. She
actually became the "New Ark," a living tabernacle of Jesus, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity--
mankind's Savior--who with His Mother's cooperation, would restore the exiled children of God to their Father. (Lk 1:26-35)
Our Father Prayer
In praise/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In thanksgiving/ I love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In offering/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!

In saying my "Yes"/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In fidelity/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In consecration/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
FOURTH OCTAVE: THE FIAT OF JESUS, OUR SAVIOR- SON OF GOD, AND SECOND PERSON OF THE HOLY TRINITY
Let us meditate on (1) Jesus' Fiat, His "Yes" to God's Will, and (2) how God Our Father sent Jesus to save us and to bring us back home to Him:
Jesus offered His "fiat" to God Our Father during His Passion in the Garden of Gethsemane. "My Father,
if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt" (Mt 26:39).
Through His Passion, Death, and Resurrection, Jesus redeemed us, defeating the sin (saying "No" to
God's Will) and death (separation and exile from God) which Satan introduced into the world. Through Jesus, His Church, and His Sacraments, we could now return to God Our Father and have eternal life.
Our Father Prayer
In praise/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In thanksgiving/ I love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In offering/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In repentance/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!

In saying my "Yes"/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In fidelity/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In consecration/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
FIFTH OCTAVE: THE SENDING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, OUR SANCTIFIER-SPIRIT OF GOD AND THE THIRD PERSON OF THE HOLY TRINITY
Let us meditate on how Jesus, after completing His Mission for God Our Father, asked Him to send the Holy Spirit, a newly revealed manifestation of God-the Third Person of the Holy Trinity. The Holy Spirit was sent (1) to lead us on our journey back home to Our Father and (2) to purify and refine us so that we could become living tabernacles of the indwelling presence of God:
Before ascending to His Father, Jesus promised that He would not leave us orphans. He asked God Our
Father to send the Holy Spirit. In doing this, God could again be present with us in a new way. It was now
"possible" for God, not only to be "with" us (as in Old Testament times), but "in" us (In 14:16-17).
Our Father Prayer
In praise/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In thanksgiving/ I love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In offering/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In repentance/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In my inheritance/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In saying my "Yes"/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In fidelity/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In consecration/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
SIXTH OCTAVE: THE CHOICE OF GOD'S PRODIGAL CHILDREN TO RETURN TO THEIR FATHER
Let us meditate on (1) how we are all prodigal children of
God Our Father and (2) how He has provided every one of us with the opportunity to make a free-will choice to return to Him:
As prodigal children of God Our Father, we are given the opportunity (individually and collectively) to make a sincere, free-will decision to return to our Father's House. This means deciding to turn away
from our own will, our own sinfulness, our own worldliness, and "convert" or turn back towards the presence of God Our Father (Lk 15:11-24).
Our Father Prayer
In praise/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In thanksgiving/ I love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In offering/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In repentance/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In my inheritance/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In saying my "Yes"/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In fidelity/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In consecration/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
SEVENTH OCTAVE: THE FIAT OF GOD OUR FATHER'S
CHILDREN--INDIVIDUALLY AND AS THE BODY OF CHRIST
Let us meditate on how, in consecrating ourselves to God Our Father and saying "Yes," unconditionally, to His Will, we find our way home to Him--we become living tabernacles of the indwelling presence of God:
In giving our "Yes" to God Our Father, in agreeing to do His Will in all things, in giving ourselves completely to Him, He comes to dwell in us and we dwell in Him--we are home with our Father. We become temples of the Living God (2 Cor 6: 16). In a sense, heaven and earth are joined: "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Mt 6: 10).
Our Father Prayer
In praise/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In thanksgiving/I love You, Father, and I give myself to You!

In repentance/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!

In saying my "Yes"/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In fidelity/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
In consecration/ l love You, Father, and I give myself to You!
EIGHTH OCTAVE: THE COMING OF THE NEW JERUSALEM
Let us meditate on the eventual conclusion of our Salvation History--the New Jerusalem promised in the Book of Revelation-when heaven and earth will be transformed, when mankind will finally be fully restored to God our Father, and when God will manifest His presence and dwell with His children forever in a new way:
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband; and I heard a great voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away.”
And he who sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true." And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water without price from the fountain of the water of life. He who conquers shall have this heritage, and I will be his God and he shall be my son. (Rev 21'1-7)

CONSECRATION PRAYER TO GOD OUR FATHER
My Dearest Father, please accept this offering of myself-my body, mind, and soul:
I praise You for Your Creation--all Your works and wonders.
I thank You for giving me life and for all that You have done for me.
I offer up to You all that You have so generously given me.

Dearest Father, as Your child, I ask--
That You send Mary to guide me to Jesus, and that Jesus sends me the Holy Spirit so that they may all bring me to You.
That You dwell with me and in me--a living temple prepared by Mary, dedicated by Jesus, and purified by Your Holy Spirit. And may I always be with You and in You.
That You permit me, as Your child, to be Your true and intimate friend--one who loves You above all things.
And that You come for me when I die, to bring me home to You.
I further ask You, Father: for the sake of all mankind:
To have mercy on all Your children--past, present, and future.
To bring peace to the world and to gather all Your children to Yourself.
And that Your Kingdom comes and Your Will is done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.

May this be granted through Your Love and the Love of Jesus, our God and Savior; the Holy Spirit, our God and Sanctifier; and Mary, our Mother. Amen.
[NOW PROCEED WITH THE DAILY THEME]
DAY ONE
Daily Theme: Praise
"I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have being."--Ps 146:2
Glory to You, God my Father!
You, Who made the universe and all that is in it.
You, Who made the brightest star and the darkest ocean depth.
You, Who made the fiercest storm and the gentlest summer breeze.
You, Who made the heavenly angels, as well as the beasts, birds, and fishes of the earth.
You, Who made me, created in Your image.
I praise you, God my Father--now and forever! Amen.
[Meditate on the wonders God Our Father has created, and praise Him in your own thoughts and words.]
_____________________________________________________________________
DAY TWO
Daily Theme: Thanksgiving
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits."--Ps 103:2
Thank You, my dearest Father, for loving me into existence.
Thank You for this body, mind, and soul that You fashioned specially for me.
Thank You for the people and circumstances of my life.
Thank You for opening my eyes, ears, and heart so that I may see, hear, and love You.
Thank You for taking me by the hand and leading me
back home through all the dangers and difficulties of my life.
Thank You for loving me. Amen.
[Meditate on all that God Our Father has given you. Thank Him in your own words.]
_____________________________________________________________________
DAY THREE
Daily Theme: Offering
"And like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priest-
hood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."--1 Pet 2:5
You have given me everything, Father.
You have given me Yourself!
What can I possibly offer You?
Let me offer you the first fruits, the best fruits, of all I do or receive.
Let all Your children offer themselves as the fruit of Your Tree of Life,
Ripened on the sacrifices, sufferings, and crosses of their earthly journeys,
So that the worldwide effects of Your children's "No"--darkness, discord, and disorder--
May be transformed and made new through Your Light and Love.
I raise my arms in offering to You, Father.
Receive all You have given me into Your Paternal Heart. Amen.
[Meditate on what you can offer up to God Our Father. Offer back to Him all that He has given you-the blessings and the crosses--so that all may be trans- formed in His Love.]
_____________________________________________________________________
DAY FOUR
Daily Theme: Repentance
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort."--2 Corinthians 1:3
My Good Father, You are all loving, But You are also Just.
How can Your children ever make reparation for all their sins?
How can they ever hope to balance Your Scales of Justice--especially in these times:
These times when so many of Your children say "No" to You,
These times when so many of Your children reject Your Will,
These times when so many of Your children no longer believe in You and have enthroned themselves as "gods,"
These times when so many of Your children embrace the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
They have embraced the lie; they have embraced death.
Shower us with Your Grace and Mercy, Father. Cleanse us in your tears,
Allow us to be compassionate warriors of Your Mercy on earth,
So that Your Sword of Justice may be transformed into a loving means of Your Mercy. Amen.
[Meditate on all the many ways you have hurt or offended God Our Father. Ask for His forgiveness and mercy. Ask for the grace to know, love, serve, and honor Him and to do His Will in all things.]
_____________________________________________________________________
DAY FIVE
Daily Theme: Inheritance
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sons hip. When we cry, Abba! Father! it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him."--Rom 8:14-17
Dearest God My Father:
With awe and wonder, I have learned to praise You and all Your creation,
With sincere gratefulness, I have learned to thank you for Your boundless generosity.
With humility and love, I have learned to offer up to You all that You have given me.
With a sorrowful but hopeful heart, I have learned to ask for Your forgiveness and tender mercy.
And now that I can fully appreciate that You exist, that You are God, that You created this entire universe, that You created me,
I now learn, that in addition to these wonders, You are truly my Father and I am truly Your child.
How can my heart contain the excitement--I am not only Your creature, but I am actually Your child.
You created me in Your own image so that I could spend eternity with You. You loved me that much.
But even though You have told me this in Holy Scripture and through the teachings of the Church, my ears have not heard the words, my heart was hardened.
I had wandered far away--from Your voice, Your Heart, Your Love for me.
But now the veil is lifted, the fog has cleared. I see, I hear, I understand--
You are truly my Father and I am truly Your child! I am Your prodigal child, running back to You, into Your waiting arms.
I am coming home, to You, my Father, where I belong. Please hold me tightly to Your Heart and never let me go--now and forever. Amen.
[Meditate on what it means to have God as your true Father and for you to be His true child. What does this legacy mean? Think about the tremendous joy and responsibilities that this involves.]
_____________________________________________________________________
DAY SIX
Daily Theme: Fiat (Saying "Yes" to God Our Father)
"Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word."--Lk 1:38
"My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt."-Mt 26:39
My Good and Loving Father:
Please allow me the privilege of saying my "Yes" to You! I say "Yes" to You, Father, in all things.
Not a conditional "Yes" that involves doing only those things that are comfortable or easy.
Not a conditional "Yes" that means doing only those things that benefit me.
No, I give you my "Yes" in all things, Father,
Because I know You are pure Love and as pure Love You can transform all things.
Doing Your Will can never hurt me.
Doing Your Will can never harm another.
Doing Your Will can never separate me from You.
Doing Your Will can only bring about the rhythm and harmony of Your Will here on earth.
Doing Your Will can only spread Your Light and Love. Doing Your Will can only help bring me to You.
Doing Your Will can only help me bring others to You. When I step inside Your Will, I am dancing with You in the order, rhythm, and harmony of Your Divine Will. When I step outside Your Will, I am stumbling alone in the chaos, disorder, and discord of darkness.
Let me listen to Your gentle, loving voice beckoning me, inviting me into Your Divine Will.
I am yours, Lord, do with me what You will. Because I know that Your Will is Love.
Even when Your Will may seem painful or unfair,
I know that Your ways are not always man's ways. Only You can see the grand scheme of things. Only You know the "whys" of my crosses.
But despite what may sometimes appear to be unjust, I trust You totally.
Why? Because You are my Father...and You love me. You want only what is good for me.
You want me to come home-to You.
There's nothing in heaven or on earth that I want more. So I say "Yes," Father! I say "Yes" to You!
I say "Yes" to the rhythm and harmony of Your Divine Will. Amen.
[Meditate on what it means to give your fiat, your "Yes" to God Our Father. How will this change your life? How will this change your relationship with God, with others?]
_____________________________________________________________________
DAY SEVEN
Daily Theme: Fidelity
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."--2 Tim 4:7
Dearest Father, my Love and my Life:
I pledge my faith, hope, and love, As a precious gift, a promise,
of my unconditional fidelity to You. Know that I trust in Your love for me.
Give me the strength, courage, and perseverance to never doubt, never stray, never despair. Please bless this vow and make of me a gentle warrior,
Battling the darkness with Your Sweet Sword of Love and Mercy.
As You will never abandon me, I pray I will never abandon You.
Please press me tenderly to Your heart, and never let me go.
In You, Father, I trust! Amen.
[Meditate on pledging your fidelity to God Our Father. What does it mean to be loyal and committed to God? Do you feel committed to returning to your Father? Do you want to help others return, too? What does it mean to be a "gentle warrior" of God Our Father's Love and Mercy here on earth? Like St. Paul, when you die, will you feel as though you've fought a good fight?]
_____________________________________________________________________
DAY EIGHT
Daily Theme: Consecration
"For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, I will live in them and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people." --2 Cor.6:16
Dearest God My Father:
I call upon You to witness and participate in my solemn consecration to You. After seven days of preparation, I come to You now as one who is still learning how to know and love You, how to praise and thank You, how to offer up to You all the blessings and crosses You have given me, and how to ask for Your forgiveness and mercy. I also come to You as a warrior, strong in my resolve to serve and honor You. But most importantly, I come to You as a wide-eyed child, filled with awe and wonder in the knowledge that I am truly Your child and that You--Creator of the vast universe--are truly my Father.
Although I have wandered far from You in my lifetime, I choose now to return, for I long to be with You in Your house forever.
In Your Divine Presence, with full knowledge and free will, I consecrate myself to You on this day. Like a small child, I approach You; I lay tenderly against Your Fatherly Heart, and I ask that You hold me tightly and never let me go.
Let me be a temple for You to dwell in, Father. And with the greatest love and tender- ness, may I be Your gentle and loyal companion, carrying You within me all the days of my life. May I bring You to my family and friends, to strangers I have yet to meet, so that they might also see Your Light and feel your tender Love.
When You dwell in us, there is a blessed connection between heaven and earth. May more and more of Your children consecrate themselves to You. As Jesus taught us to pray, may "Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Amen.
[Meditate on what it means to be "consecrated" to God Our Father. The word consecration means to "make holy" or "to give oneself for a holy purpose." How does this change your life? How does this change your relationship with God Our Father? How can you "live" your consecration everyday?]
Dear Friends,
Jesus said to them in reply, "... Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other." (Passage from the Gospel of St. Matthew 24:4a; 29-31)
Yesterday evening I was at adoration at our church in Palmer Road. We have Eucharistic Adoration every Tuesday all day. I usually go at 5:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. It is always a great joy for me to be there with Our Lord and I listen to what He has to tell me. Last evening He talked to me about the Brothers and Sisters of Jesus. The first time He spoke about these religious societies was in 1977. I was awakened at 3:00 a.m. in the morning and He told me to come to the parish church right away. This happened when I was in Africa. That morning Jesus spoke to me for three hours. Last evening He came back to all this and He wants me to start with the Brothers and Sisters of Jesus. Please pray that there will be development in the near future.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior which He gave to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
"I have great love for you, My brother Melvin, and all My brothers and sisters living in every continent of the world. I want you to read My word in the Gospel and understand what I said. You know that I will return at the end of time to judge the living and the dead. When you see everything coming to an end, you will know that My time to return has arrived. You will all be gathered in Jerusalem and there the judgment will take place. The good will go with Me to heaven but the evil ones will be sent to hell. Make sure that you follow Me every day and you will be saved. Know that you were made for heaven and your name is written on one door there. If you do not come to take your place, it will be your own fault -- you did not follow Me, your Lord, who loves and calls you."

God the Father One most urgent message to mankind
2nd August 2011 20.15 hours
I come in the name of My Son Jesus Christ. I am God the Father and wish to communicate to the whole world. It is My intention to put a stay on the severity of The Chastisement to give mankind a chance to open their hearts to the truth of My existence. They, My precious children, must know that I am a God firstly of Mercy and then of Justice.
My Mercy has been stretched to extraordinary limits. I will, because of the power of prayer, hold My hand back in Mercy so that man can alleviate the hatred that is manifested in many souls throughout the world.
Beware My children when I warn you that failure to stop sin from spreading will result in a chastisement that will destroy much of mankind. Such a chastisement will not have been witnessed since the days of the flood that destroyed the earth in the time of Noah.
I will no longer allow you My ungrateful children destroy those who have shown allegiance to Me. Nor will I stand back and allow the One World Order to contaminate My creation. My children. My earth.
Heed now this, one of the final warnings being given to mankind. Turn away now from the way of sin and you will be saved. Turn away from your blind devotion to the lure of Satan and his seductive charms which attract you by means of love of oneself and of material wonders. Should you continue to desecrate this beautiful world created out of love for you in the way you do it will not be there for you to inflict any further damage.
I am the God of love, slow to anger, but My patience is running out. Those who continue to maim and destroy My children through war and control of the world’s finances know that your days are numbered. Your chance of redemption now will be your last. Should you not respond appropriately during the great gift of Mercy that is The Warning then you and your minions will be destroyed.
My glory will be known to every man, woman and child. Those who chose the path to My Kingdom will have ever lasting life. Those who do not will experience a darkness the like of which they could never imagine nor want.
Followers of Satan who knowingly idolise his wickedness hear now My promise. You, My lost children will be offered the hand of love and peace once more during The Warning. Grasp it for it will be your lifeline back into the bosom of My love. Ignore My pleas and you will suffer for eternity never to return to the fold of My cherished family.
This now, My daughter, is one of the most important warnings to save your brothers and sisters from the torturous fires of eternal damnation.

The Cleansing of the Temple
Dear Friends,
Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all those engaged in selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. And he said to them, "It is written: 'My house shall be a house of prayer,' but you are making it a den of thieves." The blind and the lame approached him in the temple area, and he cured them.
When the chief priests and the scribes saw the wondrous things he was doing, and the children crying out in the temple area, "Hosanna to the Son of David," they were indignant and said to him, "Do you hear what they are saying?" Jesus said to them, "Yes; and have you never read the text, 'Out of the mouths of infants and nurslings you have brought forth praise'?" And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany, and there he spent the night. (Passage from the Gospel of St. Matthew 21:12-17)
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
"I greet you and bless you, My dear brother Melvin, and all My dear brothers and sisters living all over the world. If you are My followers you will go to church every Sunday and participate in the celebration of the Eucharist. You will also have respect for My Church and you will know that I am present in the tabernacle of your church. The church is not a place to carry on a conversation and to sit together and joke. No, it is a place of prayer and silence.
I was not happy when I went to the temple in Jerusalem and found that they had turned it into a market. I drove out those who were selling and told them that the temple was a house of prayer. My just anger flared up at them. I would do the same thing in many churches today because many people have no respect for the house of prayer. I ask all of you to kneel and to show respect for Me. I love you."

The Workers in the Vineyard
Dear Friends,
Jesus said to them, "... The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out at dawn to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with them for the usual daily wage, he sent them into his vineyard. Going out about nine o'clock, he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and he said to them, 'You too go into my vineyard, and I will give you what is just.' So they went off. And he went out again around noon, and around three o'clock, and did likewise. Going out about five o'clock, he found others standing around, and said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all day?' They answered, 'Because no one has hired us.'
He said to them, 'You too go into my vineyard.' When it was evening the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Summon the laborers and give them their pay, beginning with the last and ending with the first.' When those who had started about five o'clock came, each received the usual daily wage. So when the first came, they thought that they would receive more, but each of them also got the usual wage. And on receiving it they grumbled against the landowner, saying, 'These last ones worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who bore the day's burden and the heat.' He said to one of them in reply, 'My friend, I am not cheating you. Did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage?
Take what is yours and go. What if I wish to give this last one the same as you? Am I not free to do as I wish with my own money? Are you envious because I am generous?' Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last." (Passage from the Gospel of St. Matthew 19:28a; 20:1-16)
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
"It is because I love you that I have called you all to follow Me, My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters spread throughout the world. I call you all to work in My vineyard, which is the Kingdom of God. As long as you are living in the world you can answer My call and I will give you the graces you need to follow Me.
Some enter when they are just children, others come in when they are adolescents, still others when they are adults and finally there are some who come in just at the end of their lives. If you persevere and work until the end you will receive your reward. There is a great reward indeed if you work until the end and you remain in union with Me. The reward, which I give you, is eternal life in heaven forever. You will be with Me forever in great happiness with your heavenly Father, with the Holy Spirit and with all the angels and saints. My heavenly Mother will be filled with joy to welcome you into paradise.
I call you to use the time you have on earth wisely. You need to work for a living but you need to prepare yourself daily for your new life, which will be completed in heaven. This means you will follow what I have taught you and be a person of prayer and great love. You will forgive all those who hurt you in any way. I bless you all."
Father Melvin
P.S. It is written in a previous message that the laity should not pray for those possessed. In fact what is meant is that they should not place their hands on those people to attempt to drive away the evil spirits. Only priests should lay hands on those people.

Meditations by Padre Pio -
Furthermore I tell you to love your abjection, and loving your abjection consists precisely in this: If you are humble, tranquil, sweet and confident in times of darkness and impotence; that is, if you do not become restless, upset and anxious because of all of this, but are cheerful (I don't say joyful, but that you frankly and constantly embrace these crosses, and remain in this darkness) then you will love your abjection. Because what does abjection mean if not to be humble and powerless? (Letters III p569-570).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
We must treasure our parental duty
"What if God placed a precious diamond in the hands of parents and told them to inscribe on it a sentence which would be read on the Last Day, and Where there's a will, there's a way to educate goodness!
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Good night, my Jesus; the bell is calling me to sleep. My Jesus, You see that I am dying from the desire to save souls. Good night, my Beloved; I rejoice at being one day closer to eternity. And if You let me wake up tomorrow, Jesus, I shall begin a new hymn to Your praise. (679)
Jesus, You know that I love suffering and want to drain the cup of suffering to the last drop; and yet, my nature experienced a slight shudder and fear. Quickly, however, my trust in the infinite mercy of God was awakened in all its force, and everything else had to give way before it, like a shadow retreating before the sun's rays. O Jesus, how great is Your goodness! Your infinite goodness, so well known to me, enables me to bravely look death itself in the eye. I know that nothing will happen to me without God's permission.
I desire to glorify Your infinite mercy during my life, at the hour of death, in the resurrection and throughout eternity.
My Jesus, my strength, my peace, my repose; my soul bathes daily in the rays of Your mercy. There is not a moment in my life when I do not experience Your mercy, O God. I could do nothing in my whole life, but only on Your infinite mercy. It is the guiding thread of my life, O Lord. My soul is filled with God's mercy. (697)

AUGUST 2 - SIN HAS GAINED GROUND
In her weekly message for September, 1984, the Gospa said:
Dear children, I continually need your prayers. You wonder why all these prayers? Look around you, Dear children, an you will see how much ground sin has gained in this world. Pray, therefore, that Jesus conquers (Weekly Message September 13, 1984).
But although sin abounds, forgiveness abounds all the more, as the psalmists sings:
Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call on you. Psalm 86:4-5
Reflection:
In Jesus' day, the rabbis taught that Jews should forgive those who offended them three times. Peter, in trying to be especially generous, asked Christ if seven ( the "perfect" number) was enough times to forgive someone. But Jesus answered, "Seventy times seven" meaning that we should not even keep track of the number of times.
Realizing how completely Christ has forgiven us produces a fee and generous attitude of forgiveness toward others. When we refuse to forgive, we set ourselves outside and above Christ's law of love.
Application:
Today, reflect on these words of George Hebert: "He who cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself."

St. Teresa of Avila says: "Praise be to Jesus."
"Today, and during these times, it is important that souls keep hope always in their hearts. Hope can be likened to an open door with a warm light pouring through it, inviting the soul to step into it. The barometer of Holy Love in the heart is trust, as you know. The ambiance of trust is hope. The hopeful heart trusts in God's Perfect Provision in the future. Hope does not embrace fear but is ever vigilant for God's grace to overcome every difficulty."
"Hope is gladdened by trust and decorated with joy. Hope is the sister of faith - the child of Holy Love. Hope is the enemy of Satan's discouragement and the sword which enlightens truth, placing all things in perspective according to God's Will."

St. Teresa of Avila says: "Praise be to Jesus."
"Any virtue to be strong in the heart must be practiced throughout the day no matter the situation the soul finds himself in. To live in the virtues means to live in the truth; otherwise the virtuous life crumbles into hypocrisy."
"The virtue of hope must not give way to discouragement, for then faith is diminished, as well. God will not default the soul on good faith but always respects the soul's belief without challenge. This is not to say God respects superstition - but faith and hope in all that upholds righteousness."

Monthly message from Anne, a lay apostle
On the first of every month, our Lord gives Anne a new message about His call to service.
August 1, 2011
Dear apostles,
You are friends of My heart. As such, please be patient with Me as I bring you along in holiness. Would you like to be holier? Perhaps you identify My teachings as good but you feel frustrated because you see that you fall short on some days. This is when you must be truly patient and trust that I am bringing you along as quickly as is needed. Remember that you may see very little progress on some days, but your decision to remain with Me in the process of becoming holier creates a disposition for heaven that keeps the light where it should be, that is, on the need to examine yourself for failure instead of examining others. How easy it is to see the flaws of another.
How much more difficult it is to identify which pain in you creates the disposition for repeating a mistake, perhaps again and again. Yes, patience is necessary, both with oneself and with others. I, Jesus, am patient with you. And so you must be patient with yourself. And then you must be patient with others. Do not be distracted by events around you. Do not be drawn into thinking that many events or big events mean that you can take your eyes off of the process of becoming holier.
No, dear apostles. I speak gravely when I say to you that you must concentrate seriously on becoming holier because your holiness and your commitment to holiness is a crucial part of My plan to bring comfort to others. Allow Me to see to the world. If you see daily to the condition of your soul and if you love others then you will have fulfilled My plan for you. Rejoice. You are committed to Me and I am eternally committed to you.
Jesus

Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 01 - ST. ALPHONSUS LIGUORI - Aug 5th Our Lady's birthday
Sts. Joachim and Anne, Parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary?Feast, July 26
"St. Joachim and St. Anne were poor. They belonged to the Levitical family,
and lived on the tithes of the Temple.
However, Mary was born with a splendor
far surpassing all the riches of the daughters of the world . . . She was
enriched with God's choicest gifts.
But on the day of her birth, she was already
rich in her own right; she had already acquired treasures of merit during the
nine months of silent, uninterrupted adoration in her mother's womb"
(St. Peter Julian Eymard). Sts. Joachim and Anne, pray for us!
Mother Teresa -
Faith in action through prayer, faith in action through service: each is the same thing, the same love, the same compassion. This is something that should encourage us and should be a strength for us, that we complete each other more fully.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
The Lord allows us to discover who we are a little at a time. In fact it is inconceivable to me how anyone with intelligence and a conscience can become proud (GB 57).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Parenting can be God's kiln of kindness
"The duty of parents to children is to rule while avoiding exasperating severity on the one hand and excessive indulgences on the other. God gives parents a child as so much plastic material that can be molded for good or evil."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
My day is drawing to a close,
Even now I glimpse the refulgence of Your light, O my God.
No one shall learn of what my heart is feeling;
My lips shall fall silent in great humility.
Even now, I draw night to the eternal nuptials,
To heaven unending, to spaces without limit.
I long for no repose or reward;
The pure love of God draws me to heaven.
Even now, I go to meet You, eternal Love,
With a heart languishing in its desire for You.
I feel that Your pure love, Lord, dwells in my heart,
And I sense my eternal destiny in heaven.
Even now, I go to my Father, in heaven eternal,
From the land of exile, from this vale of tears,
The earth can no longer hold back my pure heart,
And the heights of heaven have drawn me close.
I go, O my Bridegroom, I go to see Your glory,
Which even now fills my soul with joy
There where all heaven is plunged in Your adoration.
I feel that my worship is pleasing to You,
nothingness though I am.
In eternal happiness, I will not forget those on earth,
I will obtain God's mercy for all,
And I will remember especially those who
were dear to my heart,
And the deepest absorption in God
will not allow me to forget them.
In these last moments I know not how to converse with others.
In silence I await only You, O Lord.
I know the time will come when all will understand the work
of God in my soul.
I know that such is Your will. So be it. (1653b)
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.

AUGUST 1 - ST. ALPHONSUS LIGUORI
Today Our Lady gives us words of hope and consolation
Dear children, these days you have been experiencing how Satan is working. But do not be afraid of temptations, for I am always with you and God always watches over us. I have also given myself to you and sympathize even in your smallest temptation (Weekly Message July 19, 1984).
The letter of James gives us further encouragement:
Blessed is anyone who endures temptation. Such a one has stood the test and will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him (Jas 1:12).
Reflection:
In one of the prayers he composed, St. Alphonsus wrote, "My Lady, since you are so powerful with God, obtain for me the strength to overcome all temptations, until death." The founder of the Redemptorists had a deep aversion to temptation and sin, and was himself the author of many books on moral theology. He is the author of this little-known prayer to the Virgin Mary:
Most holy Virgin Immaculate, my Mother Mary, to you who are the Mother of my Lord, the Queen of the Universe, the advocate, the hope, the refuge of sinners; I, who am the most miserable of sinners, have recourse to you today.
I venerate you, great queen, and I thank you for the many graces you have obtained for me. I love you, most dear Lady, and because of this I promise to serve you willingly and to do what I can to make you loved by others.
Since you are so powerful with God, obtain for me the strength to overcome all temptations, until death. Help me have a true love for you Son, Jesus Christ. Assist me always, but especially at the last moment of my life. Forsake me not then until you see me safely in heaven. Such is my hope. Amen.
Application:
Perhaps the best gift you could give to St. Alphonsus on his feast day is to offer this prayer to the Virgin once more today, perhaps at the end of rosary.
Mirjana's second of the month message.
English
Our Lady's message to Mirjana Soldo of August 2nd, 2011
Dear children;
Today I call you to be born anew in prayer and through the Holy Spirit,
to become a new people with my Son; a people who knows that if they have
lost God, they have lost themselves; a people who knows that, with God,
despite all sufferings and trials, they are secure and saved.
I call you
to gather into God's family and to be strengthened with the Father's
strength. As individuals, my children, you cannot stop the evil that
wants to begin to rule in this world and to destroy it. But, according
to God's will, all together, with my Son, you can change everything and
heal the world. I call you to pray with all your heart for your
shepherds, because my Son chose them. Thank you.
Latest visions or locutions given to V
Introduction: These visions or locutions were given to an alleged messenger in Michigan, who wishes simply to go by the pseudonym “V.” They, with accompanying messages (including poems), are given to him during Mass, or at adoration, or while praying the Rosary as part of a prayer group. All visions mentioned are seen by V alone. V started receiving visions and locutions in 1994 in connection with a pilgrimage to Medjugorje.
7-17-2011
(All day long V had a feeling that something major will happen within the next three days or so.)
7-18-2011 Mass of Reparation* with Fr. Joe
God the Father on the throne with both arms extended in the form of a blessing. Angels lined the stairway to heaven on both sides holding rosaries. Our Lady holding Baby Jesus, and St. Joseph were present.
The Blessed Mother said, “Waters will continue to rise, but the Masses said here will keep the property dry.”
V was told, “Arrows were being aimed at everyone coming here, but they were shielded by My rosary.” (A big storm was brewing all around us, knocking power out to some homes and disabling traffic signals. This caused hours of delay for some people trying to come to the Mass. However, almost everyone arrived on time.
Father Joe and the people present were immersed in light during his homily.
God the Father was looking at a clock and pointed to it. V could see that there were two minutes remaining.
The Blessed Mother’s rosary surrounded all the areas that were united with this Mass and where the other Masses of Reparation were being offered.
During the anointing/healing part of the Mass, God the Father’s hand was on top of Fr. Joe’s hand.
Four physical healings and six spiritual healings were taking place.
The union of the Masses of Reparation delayed a magnitude nine earthquake that would have affected the United States and would have occurred during the next three days.
Three healings are taking place among family members.
10,000 souls were released from purgatory for each person participating in the union of Masses of Reparation and for those joined in prayer at home.
The Blessed Mother said, “I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful bouquet of flowers than those who were present at the Mass.”
During Holy Communion, God the Father lifted everyone here onto His lap and everyone was glowing.
God the Father blessed everyone here and all united with the Mass as well as those praying at home. The Holy Dove circled three times and flew up.
*These Masses of Reparation are being offered every third Monday at 7 p.m. EST if you would like to join this effort (by offering Mass if you are a priest or just praying at this time). These Masses are offered in reparation for our nation’s sins and to mitigate the effects of a prophesied major, future ecological disaster in the U.S.
7-24-2011 Adoration
V saw Jesus again carrying the blazing earth, which represents the sins of the world, for at least four different times during adoration. It started with just the earth; then the top was burning; and now almost the entire earth was ablaze.
7-26-2011 Adoration
V saw Jesus carrying the burning earth, which represents the world’s sins, on His shoulders.
7-27-2011 Holy Mass with Fr. Sam
God the Father was on the throne with His right hand extended in blessing.
The angels on both sides of the stairway from here to heaven were holding rosaries.
The usual were present: Our Lady holding Baby Jesus, and St. Joseph.
V was shown people storming closed bank buildings. They were breaking windows and setting them on fire.
The Blessed Mother said, “The earth will continue to shake like never before.”
Orphanages will be overflowing world-wide.
This Mass saved the lives of two young children.
God the Father blessed all those here and at home. The Holy Dove circled three times and flew up.
7-28-2011 Adoration
V saw the image of Our Lady of Dawn Gate with Her Heart exposed and many little hearts surrounding Hers. These little hearts represented the people, and their intentions, that Fr. Sam blessed with the picture at the end of last night’s Holy Mass.
Later, he was shown large areas of land submerged under water.
The Blessed Mother said, “A very contagious virus will be introduced that will affect not only humans but also animals.”
