 The Blessed Virgin Mary is our Mother


Dear Friends,

Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. (Passage from the Gospel of St. John 19:25-27)

Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Father Melvin. She spoke to him these words,

"I love you, My son Melvin and all My sons and daughters living in all the countries of the world. I stood at the cross of My Son, Jesus, on that Friday He died for you. I suffered very much seeing My Son in such torture and bleeding all over His body. He suffered all that out of love for each one of you. I too suffered with Him for your salvation.

It was there at the cross that Jesus called Me to be Your Mother. John the Apostle stood for each one of you and the words spoken to John are also addressed to all of you who believe in My Son, Jesus, as Your Savior. After His death on the cross, I held the lifeless body of My Son in My arms. What pain filled His Mother's heart seeing My Son dead in My arms. Indeed I am your Mother and I come often to earth to call you all to follow My Son. Remember, He is your Lord and Savior. He alone can save you. I bless you."

Mystic Josep Terelya/Letter From Reader

September 2, 2011

From a reader:
"About 6 years ago I was with Josep Terelya (formerly imprisoned by Stalin in brutal gulags for 18 years for being Catholic) while he had a vision from the Lord.

I did not write down the entire message, but the crux of it stuck with me.

Jesus told him that the Nephilim have returned.  Jesus referred to them as the soulless ones.

At the time I had only the vaguest idea of what He was talking about.

I had been living in Ann Arbor and the scientific community was extremely excited about the new genetics research.  There was a great deal of talk about the 'potential' but what I saw was the horrifying concequences of chimera, which seems to me qualify as soul-less ones, as God created souls according to their kind.

Thanks for your huge contribution to my understanding of the Nephilim and Rephaim.  Its a terrifying thing, but imho it is critical information.

from the Columbia Encylopedia (rewritten): 
Nephilim: 
Hebrew Bible history indicates peoples of gigantic stature with superhuman strength. The term is translated as "giants" in the Authorized Version. The Book of Genesis refers to Nephilim as the offspring of marriages between "daughters of humans" and "sons of God." See Anak.
Correspondingly the Anak or Anakim proved to be a 
Bible folk tradition describes an Anakim ancestor as a people of giants. they lived around Hebron when Israelites grabbed Canaan. "




Just released messages to Jennifer


My child, it is My desire for you through the permission of your director, to release to the world My words of love to you on the third day of each month. Now go forth in peace for I am Jesus. (Note: if the 3rd day falls on a weekend, the messages will be posted on Friday or Monday)

My child, the time for change is now. The time of harvest is not far in the distance and yet what am I to harvest if hearts are not prepared to allow Me to take refuge? My people cry out for justice at a time they should be embracing the abundance of mercy that I am pouring out all over this world.


When mankind chooses his way it will only rebel against him. When mankind chooses evil it will come. The time of change is here. Do not wait for greater turmoil to come throughout the world. The only boundaries that come between mankind and My mercy is his own failure to take heed to it.


Divine means all, My children. You receive all of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Embrace the Divine plan for you must let go of the things of this world that do not fill your soul. If you seek out work so as to earn the wages necessary to nourish your body then why do you not seek out the same nourishment for your soul which is the Eucharist?


Your body may be good and strong but your soul is empty and is seeking out in ways that will only starve it further. Fast, My children, and nourish your soul at a time when you are being tested by the spirits. I tell you that your true nourishment is through the Divine for I am Jesus.


If your body is weak then I say come to Me and I will give you strength. Is your faith in the world that continues to erupt in greater chaos and confusion or is it in Me for I am the Way, the Truth and the Life? I am the Divine for I am Jesus and it is My mercy and justice that will prevail.


8/18/11
1:50 PM


My child, I am calling all hearts to be open to the truth for I am Jesus. My children are restless because their hearts and minds seek peace yet they are searching out for peace in the world and peace can only come from your heavenly Father.


Your refuge is coming My children, for it is time to prepare your hearts for the time of My visitation and the way in which you prepare your hearts is through My way of simplification. Too many are consumed by a world that does not free you to take time to pray and fast.


The world consumes you in a way that does not permit you to be silent to let My voice speak. Too many are seeking comfort in a way that is leading them to sin and their souls are not prepared to meet Me. I tell you My children, in love and warning that what is taking place in Africa will spread throughout the world. As the winter winds blow forth the snow will come and cities and towns will not be seen as a great cold will come that has not plagued mankind before and will not cease for a great period of time.


China will push forward making a greater presence upon America as the change of power and currency begins to come forth. It is a time to unite yourselves in prayer with those who strive for holiness.


I will come to those who gather in numbers in My name and bestow My heavenly graces upon them. Now go forth in being My instrument of love and peace for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.


8/23/11
5:15 PM


My child, I say to My children, embrace on Earth what awaits you in heaven for I am Jesus. It is time to prepare your hearts today for the awakening of tomorrow. How are you preparing My children? And what are you preparing for?


Are you preparing for your time on Earth by storing up earthly treasures that remain here to wither and disintegrate or are you preparing your soul and the souls of your children. Your children will lack direction if you are wandering in the darkness. Come My children, for My love and mercy are bountiful.


Each time you cleanse your soul you are magnifying My creation for your hands, heart and feet are an imprint of your heavenly Father. If you could open your eyes, My children, and realize that you will acquire greater reward in heaven than anything you acquire on earth that is of the world.


I came in love and I come in love now to bring My children to the tabernacle of truth for I am Jesus, the Way, the Truth and the Life for My mercy and justice will prevail.

Please Pray for the following people:

Medjugorje Day By Day Sept 03 - THE KINGDOM OF LOVE


St. Teresa of Avila wrote of the Holy Eucharist: "If when He lived in this world, He healed the sick by the mere touch of His garments, what doubt is there but that He will perform miracles for us? He is so intimate with us. If we have a lively faith He will grant us what we ask of Him."



 Mother Teresa -
A joyful heart is like a sunshine of God's love.


Meditations by Padre Pio - (You who are responsible for souls) try with love, with much love, with all your love; and if that is useless? punish because Jesus who is our model, taught us this, creating Paradise but also Hell

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
"

God can reason with anyone
"God speaks more frequently through our subconscious mind, probably, than through our conscious mind, simply because our self-consciousness puts up obstacles to Him. God can guide us quite naturally in a particular direction without our being aware of it. What was it, for example, that induced Paul Claudel, an agnostic and unbeliever, to enter Notre Dame Cathedral at midnight on Christmas, and ultimately to receive the gift of faith? Here was a reasonable man who was guided unreasonably. Very often stupid people come to God through very reasonable arguments, and reasonable people come to God through no argument at all."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
I am to write down the encounters of my soul with You, O God, at the moments of Your special visitations. I am to write about You, O Incomprehensible in mercy towards my poor soul. Your holy will is the life of my soul. I have received this order through him who is for me Your representative here on earth, who interprets Your holy will to me. Jesus, You see how difficult it is for me to write, how unable I am to put down clearly what I experience in my soul. O God, can a pen write down that for which many a time there are no words? But You give the order to write, O God; that is enough for me. (6)

O my Jesus, You have tested me so many times in this short life of mine! I have come to understand so many things, and even such that now amaze me. Oh, how good it is to abandon oneself totally to God and to give Him full freedom to act in one's soul! (134)

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.


SEPT 4 - THE KINGDOM OF LOVE


The Queen of Peace speaks of love today:

I wish to engrave in every heart the sign of love. If you love all mankind, then there will be peace within you. When you are at peace with all men, it is the kingdom of love (Locutionists Jelena & Mirijana January 18, 1984).

And out of love, Jesus heals the blind beggar Bartimaeus:

Bartimaeus, son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside. When he heard that it was Jesus ob Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out even loudly, "Son of David, "Call him here," and they called the blind man, saying to him "Take heart; get up, he is calling you."

 So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. Then Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "My teacher, let me see again," Jesus said to him "Go; your faith has made you well." Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way (Mk 10:46-52).

Reflection:

Beggars were a common sight in most towns in first-century Israel. Since most occupations of that day required physical labor, anyone with a crippling disease or handicap was at a severe disadvantage and was usually forced to beg, even though the Law of Moses commanded care for such needy people.

Blindness was considered a curse from God due to sin; but Christ refuted this idea when he reached out in love to heal those who were blind. It was to the ignored, oppressed and despised of society that Christ went to proclaim in both word and deed the kingdom of love. He charges us with the same mission, as does Our Lady of Medjugorje: to bring God's love to the ignored, oppressed, and despised of our own community.

Application:

Today, look about to see those in special need of your care and attention. Pray for a deeper measure of God 's love to help the needy

Archived Messages to Louise referring to coastal areas


With tropical storm "Lee" brewing in the Gulf of Mexico, I searched
 for past messages to Louise that might reference "Louisiana," etc.
I located these two from 2002 referring to the Gulf "coastal areas," which still
appear to be pertinent today!

Two Messages via Louise Starr Tomkiel, V+J

January 22, 2002- (8:55 A.M.)

Louise started to receive a message from Jesus and said, " Please
cover me  with Your Most Precious Blood."

Then Jesus said:

"Oh, My beloved children of My Heart, I tell you--keep your eyes
posted on  the coastal areas and the mountain areas.  Many signs and
warnings will begin there.

Again, I tell you to be alert. Major, heavily populated cities and
seats of  local and world government will draw much attention.

The sky too will bring forth signs from Heaven but it will also rain
with signs from evil.

Your days have been numbered since the creation of the world.  Now,
days are  limited.  You are living the countdown.

Be prepared in body, mind and especially in soul.  Listen, live and
obey all  I have told to you.  Pray unceasingly.  Repent and forgive
daily.  Love  always.  Trust in Me.  Live My Divine Will for you.

Always I send you My love, My peace, My mercy; and in these days of
total  unrest, I send you much strength and will dissipate your fears.
Remain with  Me always as I am with you."


April 11, 2002- (2:40 P.M.)
Feast of St. Leo the Great

Louise began to receive a vision and message from God the Father and
said  "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood."

Then the Father spoke:

"Very soon, the USA will be under great attack from the terrorists
from the Middle East.  These people follow Satan, their god, and are
filled with hate.  They will aim for the Capitol Building in Washington,
D.C. at an hour when it is most populated."

>From L.S.T.: For two hours I've seen the dome of our Nation's
Capitol [building].  Then I saw and still see flames shooting from it.  Panic and
pandemonium fill the people of Washington, D.C.  There is much
screaming and running as government buildings are attacked, under
fire.

The Father speaks: "The mighty Mississippi River will flood as never
before--north to south it will flood.  It will go many miles inland
and every state will feel its force (along both sides of the
river). The Gulf of Mexico will rise and states bordering the Gulf
will be washed away, especially cities on the coast.  Florida,
Louisiana and Texas will be the hardest hit.  War, terror and My
wrath have begun."

From L.S.T.  For many days, I have seen this and the mighty
destruction.  All in its path is gone--forever.  The water flows very
swiftly and soon flows into the Gulf of Mexico.  The water is powerful
and merciless.

The Father speaks:  "The events you see are about to take place.  The
destruction and loss of life will be tremendous.  As this begins, evil
will spread rapidly, and My Wrath will settle upon the earth.  The
majority of people in the USA live in great sin.  The terrorists
worship Satan. Neither believes or follows Me.

Woe to the lot of you!!!  I ask for prayer, yet I hear little.  I speak
to all, and very few answer.  I send signs and you ignore them,
remaining in sin and growing deeper into it (sin).

Punishment will begin!  Blood will be shed.  Death will come to many,
and many will pray to die, yet they will live through the horror.  Sin
causes death.

Now, the hour of punishment will arrive and settle upon the earth
until I purge  it of all its sin.

Remain in Me, and be strong.  Place your life in My Hands.  Trust in
Me; I will protect My own.

Pray as you've never prayed before!  The hour is upon you

WAY OF DIVINE LOVE ~ SISTER JOSEFA MENENDEZ ~ 1923 ~ MESSAGE OF THE SACRED HEART TO THE WORLD

"Our Lord began the day by showing Josefa His Heart, all aflame, and during her prayer, He plunged her into its fiery depths.

She wrote: “I implored Him to give me true contrition for my sins . .
For the greater the graces He gives me, the more unworthy I know myself to be . . . On the one hand, my soul is urged by love to unite itself to Him, and on the other, the consciousness of my sins keeps me away and makes me fear to approach Him . . . with all the intensity of which I am capable I begged Him to purify me before I renew my vows.”

A little later, when Mass had begun, and the chapel was filled with the whole assembled household, Jesus showed Himself to her.  “Open your soul,” He said, “for I Myself have come to purify you.”

Then He drew Josefa’s attention to what each of the vows implied and to the plenitude of self-sacrifice which is demanded by each.

“Dispoil yourself of all things,” He said, “keeping back no desire, an attraction, no personal judgment . . . Then, submit yourself wholeheartedly  to the will of your Beloved.  Let Me do with you what I like,  and not what you desire.  You ought so to conform yourself to Me that My will in you becomes your own, by total submission to My good pleasure.  You have given over to Me all your rights by the vow of obedience.
 ...
 “Would that souls understood that never are they more free than when they have thus given themselves up to Me, and that never am I more inclined to grant their desires then when they are ready to do My will in everything . . . Clasp tight those chains that sweetly bind you to Me.  Go and renew the vows that bind you to My feet, to My hands, and introduce into My Heart.”

Josefa went up to the alter-rails, and when the Sacred Heart was held before her, she renewed her loved vows, then received communion and returned to her place.

What He says next below after this note is so heart-warming.

( In our own words we can surrender to Jesus, giving Him all our time and love as best we can even though some of us  { really I guess, most of us! }are in the world.  Let us ask Him how we can bring more of the souls in the world, especially so, to Him, since this is where we are loving Him.  That in our own personal way we give Him our liberty and our will ~ to let Him also be the Master of our thoughts, words and actions in this world.  He will provide for us too if we have nothingness to offer and that we want Him to live in us, love us and forgive us… I can’t help to think He would be pleased with this…we can try…)

Then Jesus once more manifested Himself to her and with overwhelming love said:

  “Josefa, you have just told Me that you love Me alone . . . that you have voluntarily despoiled yourself of everything for My sake . . . that you will never have any other liberty or will than Mine . . . My will is ours, your will is Mine . . . I shall be Master of your thoughts, of your words and of your actions.  If you have nothing, I will provide everything for you.  I will live in you, love you, and forgive you.”

Taking up each of these words, Our Lord make His thought clear:

“I will live in you and you in Me.
“I will speak in you, and My words will reach souls and will not pass away.
“I will love you, and by that love souls will discover My love for them.

“I will forgive you, and souls will recognize My mercy by that with which I have wrapped you round.”

“Many believe in Me, but new believe in My love . . . and among those who do, too few rely on My mercy . . . Many know Me as their God, but how few trust in Me as their Father.

“I will manifest Myself . . . especially to those who are the objects of My predilection.   I will show them through you that I ask nothing of them that they do not possess.  But I do ask that all they have they should give Me, for all is Mine.”
[ this is tender; I may have written this before, but it is worth mentioning again ]

“If they possess nothing but miseries and weaknesses, these I
desire . . .even if they have only faults and sins . . . I desire them also.
I beg them to give them to Me.  Give them to Me; yes, give all to Me and keep nothing, but trust My Heart:  I forgive you, I love you, I will sanctify you Myself.”


I will continue another time… again I ask Our Lord to bless and love you and all dear to you through Mother Mary’s Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart ~ Our Virgin Mother of Seven Sorrows "

9 OCT DIRE WARNINGS AND PROPHECIES FOR THE AFRICAN DIASPORA

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 10 - PRAY THAT YOUR LIVES BENEFIT ALL

"This Fountain [of the Holy Eucharist] is a fountain of light, shedding abundant rays of truth. And beside it the angelic powers from on high have taken their stand, gazing on the beauty of its streams, since they perceive more clearly than we the power of what lies before us and its unapproachable dazzling rays" (St. John Chrysostom).

Respect Life Sunday
"Many problems darken the horizon of our time. We need but think of the
urgent need to work for peace, to base relationships between peoples on solid premises of justice and solidarity, and to defend human life from conception to its natural end. And what should we say of the thousand inconsistencies of a 'globalized' world where the weakest, the most powerless and the poorest appear to have so little hope! It is in this world that Christian hope must shine forth! For this reason too, the Lord wished to remain with us in the Eucharist, making his presence in meal and sacrifice the promise of a humanity renewed by his love" (Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 20).

Mother Teresa -
It doesn't matter because I belong so totally to Him that He can do just what He wants to do with me.

Meditations by Padre Pio - Be tranquil as far as your soul is concerned. Confide totally, more and more, in Jesus. Make an effort to unite yourself always and in everything to Divine Will, both in happy and sad events, and don't worry about the future.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Two kinds of truth
"There are two kinds of truth; speculative and practical. Speculative truth is the truth of knowing, such as comes to us from philosophy, mechanics, physics and chemistry. Practical truth, however, is concerned with doing and living, such as ethics and morals."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Once, the Image was being exhibited over the altar during the Corpus Christi procession [June 20, 1935]. When the priest exposed the Blessed Sacrament, and the choir began to sing, the rays from the Image pierced the Sacred Host and spread out all over the world. Then I heard these words: These rays of mercy will pass through you, just as they have passed through this Host, and they will go out through all the world. At these words, profound joy invaded my soul. (441)
Once when my confessor [Father Sopocko] was saying Mass, I saw, as usual, the Child Jesus on the altar, from the time of the Offertory. However, a moment before the Elevation, the priest vanished from my sight, and Jesus alone remained. When the moment of the Elevation approached, Jesus took the Host and the chalice in His little hands and raised them together, looking up to heaven, and a moment later I again saw my confessor. I asked the Child Jesus where the priest had been during the time I had not seen him. Jesus answered, In My Heart. But I could not understand anything more of these words of Jesus. (442)

Quote of the Day The pure soul is a beautiful rose, and the Three Divine Persons descend from Heaven to inhale its fragrance. -St. John Vianney
Today's Tidbit Friar is the term used to refer to the male members of mendicant orders, such as Franciscans, to distinguish them from members of monastic orders. Friars are also referred to as brothers.

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

Oct 10 - PRAY THAT YOUR LIVES BENEFIT ALL
Today Our Lady asks that our lives be an example of good for others:
Dear children, I invite you to pray with the heart so that your prayer may be a true conversation with God.
I ask that each one of you dedicate more time to God, for Satan is strong and wants to deceive you in many ways. Therefore, dear children, pray every day that your lives be a source of goodness not only for your own benefit, but also for all those you meet I am with you and I am protecting you even though Satan wants to destroy my plans and all that the heavenly Father wishes to accomplish here (Monthly Message September 25, 1990.)
And at the Last Supper, Jesus sets an example for his apostles:
After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? You call me teacher and Lord and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you?" (Jn 13 :12-15).
Reflection:
Application:
Today, try to be especially aware of your influence on others, and the kind of influence Our Lord and his Mother would like you to be



Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 09 - MANY HAVE BEGUN BUT THEY FORGET

"God waits for us. ... In this very moment when we are celebrating the Eucharist, when we are inaugurating the Synod on the Eucharist, He comes to meet us.
... Will this find a reply? Or does it happen with us as with the vineyard, about which God says in Isaiah: 'He expected it to yield fine grapes; wild grapes were all it yielded'? Is our Christian life often not perhaps rather vinegar than wine? Is it self-pity, conflict, indifference?" (Pope Benedict XVI, Oct. 2, 2005).

"Before . . . Christ glorified and enthroned, let everyone fall to their
knees in adoration" (Pope John Paul II, August 18, 2004).


Mother Teresa -
And this is just a simple way for us to be holy.

Meditations by Padre Pio - I beg you not to worry about what I am suffering at present and will suffer in the future. No matter how severe this suffering is, when it is placed before the good that awaits us, it is always a delight for the soul.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Pride is the child of ignorance
"Our hatred of a person often decreases as we learn to know him better. A boy graduating from high school is generally not as humble as when he graduates from medical school. At eighteen he thought he knew it all; at twenty-eight he feels himself ignorant in the face of the medical science he has yet to acquire. So it is with God. Because we do not pray or contemplate or love Him, we become vain and proud; but when we know Him better we feel a deep sense of dependence which tempers our false independence. Pride is the child of ignorance, humility the offspring of knowledge."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Often during Mass, I see the Lord in my soul; I feel His presence which pervades my being. I sense His divine gaze; I have long talks with Him without saying a word; I know what His divine Heart desires, and I always do what will please Him the most. I love Him to distraction, and I feel that I am being loved by God. At those times when I meet with God deep within myself, I feel so happy that I do not know how to express it. Such moments are short, for the soul could not bear it for long, as separation from the body would be inevitable. Though these moments are very short, their power, however, which is transmitted to the soul, remains with it for a very long time. Without the least effort, I experience the profound recollection which then envelops me-and it does not diminish even if I talk with people, nor does it interfere with the performance of my duties. I feel the constant presence of God without any effort of my soul. I know that I am united with Him as closely as a drop of water is united with the bottomless ocean. (411)
When I was attending Mass in a certain church with another sister, I felt the greatness and majesty of God; I felt the church was permeated by God. His majesty enveloped me and, though it terrified me, it filled me with peace and joy. I knew that nothing could oppose His will. Oh, if only all souls knew who is living in our churches, there would not be so many outrages and so much disrespect in these holy places! (409)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
Oct 9 - MANY HAVE BEGUN BUT THEY FORGET
Decrying the lack of perseverance of some, the Madonna once said :
Many have begun to pray for healing here at Medjugorje, but when they return to their homes, they abandon prayer, forget, and also lose many graces (Special Messages September 12, 1986).
Paul also exhorts us to persevere :
Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the holy ones (Eph 6:18)
Reflection:
The virtue of perseverance is exemplified in the life of a man who went blind at the age of three, in the year 1812. When he was old enough, he was sent to a school for the blind in Paris, which was near to his village. There Louis was taught to read by touching large raised letters of the alphabet with his fingers.
He was so successful that he soon found himself teaching others to read by the same method.
But it was not easy. Some people just could not do it, so he determined to invent another method by which blind people could read. He worked and persevered for many a long hour to try to perfect a special alphabet for the blind. When Louis Braille was 20 years old he succeeded.
Application:
"Great works are performed not by strength" wrote Samuel Johnson, "but by perseverance." It is a great Christian virtue, as both Christ and Our Lady attest in our readings.
Today, and especially when you feel drained or weakened, pray for perseverance.


Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 08 - DISCOVER HIS WILL FOR YOU
"I thirst for Heaven and for the Eucharist. I thirst for love. I thirst for
you who are the Life of my life. I thirst for you who are as an Ocean of
hope to me, a river to bring me infinite graces, the profound source of the
science of the Cross, and the spring of every consolation and the fountain of all
that is pure" Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God).

Mother Teresa -
Total surrender to God must come in small details just as it comes in big details. It's nothing but that single word, " Yes, I accept whatever you give, and I give whatever you take. "

Meditations by Padre Pio - I have nothing to complain of in particular, except this bitter agitation of your, which prevents you from tasting al the sweetness of the cross. Correct this, and continue to do what you have been doing so well up to now.


Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Though He Who was rich became poor for our sake, yet He would not be an earthly king by force. A poor blind man could stop Him on the roadway to be cured of his blindness, but not all the masses with their universal acclaim and suffrage could make Him king. Then He laid His finger on their error, `You seek Me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied' (John 6: 26). They sought Him not for the higher part of their being, but for their stomachs; not for His morality, but for their economics; not for His saving grace, but because of the dormancy of the spiritual in their souls."
Beware of those who promise the world!
"When loaves are more valued than the Divine Power Which multiplied them; when streams are more admired than the fountains that produced them, the world will accept any kind of a king who promises bread and plenty."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Jesus likes to intervene in the smallest details of our life, and He often fulfills secret wishes of mine that I sometimes hide from Him, although I know that from Him nothing can be hidden. There is a custom among us of drawing by lot, on New Year's Day, special Patrons for ourselves for the whole year. In the morning during meditation, there arose within me a secret desire that the Eucharistic Jesus be my special Patron for this year also, as in the past. But, hiding this desire from my Beloved, I spoke to Him about everything else but that. When we came to refectory for breakfast, we blessed ourselves and began drawing our patrons. When I approached the holy cards on which the names of the patrons were written, without hesitation I took one, but I didn't read the name immediately as I wanted to mortify myself for a few minutes. Suddenly, I heard a voice in my soul: I am your patron. Read. I looked at once at the inscription and read, "Patron for the year 1935-the Most Blessed Eucharist." My heart leapt with joy, and I slipped quietly away from the sisters and went for a short visit before the Blessed Sacrament, where I poured out my heart. But Jesus sweetly admonished me that I should be at that moment together with the sisters. I went immediately in obedience to the rule. (360)


MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
OCT 8 - DISCOVER HIS WILL FOR YOU
Today the Virgin speaks of conversion and the will of God :
Dear children, today I want to thank you for all your sacrifices and prayers. I give you my special motherly blessing.
I call each of you to decide for God. From day to day , discover His will for you in prayer. I wish, dear children, to call all of you to full conversion so that there may be joy in your hearts (Monthly Message June 25, 1990).
And in John's gospel, Jesus also speaks of doing the will of God :
Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me I will never drive away; for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me (Jn 6 :37-38).
Reflection:
G. Gordon Liddy was one of the men convicted in the Watergate affair that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. After his release from prison in 1977, Liddy wrote an autobiography entitled Will. It was a fitting title, for since childhood Liddy has been a man of tremendous will power.
In his book he describes how he used to perform painful and distasteful acts in order to strengthen his will. For example, as a youngster he ate part of a rat. On other occasions he held his hand steady in a burning flame.
In the 1960's, Liddy abandoned his Catholic faith. But twenty years later, in the 1980's, he underwent a religious conversion. It came about as a result of attending Bible-study meetings with his former FBI colleagues. Commenting of the experience, Liddy says that the resolved to spend the rest of his life seeking and doing God's will rather than his own.
The hardest thing I have to do now, each day, is to decide what is God's will rather than what is my will.
So the prayer I say most often is, first of all,"
God, please tell me what you want." And second, "
Give me the strength to do your will."
Application:
In our gospel reading today, Christ said, "I have come down from heaven not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me." And the Blessed Mother has urged us to "discover God's will for you in prayer." To this end, offer the following prayer today by St. Jane Frances de Chantal :
Lord, what is your will that I do? I am completely open to your plan for me. I desire to live only in you and to be guided by you forever. Grant that your holy will be carried out perfectly in me.

MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN, I GREET YOU WITH DEEPEST LOVE AND I GATHER YOU ALL TO ME. IT IS THE DAY OF THE LORD, AND YOU DO MUCH TO KEEP IT HOLY. THANK YOU MY CHILDREN, THANK YOU.

MY CHILDREN THE WORLD CONTINUES ITS PATH AND IT SEEMS THAT ONLY FEW RECOGNIZE THE DANGERS THAT EXIST. YOUR NATION IS AT ITS GREATEST TRIAL.
THEY WILL COME TO GOD OR THEY WILL COME TO HIS JUSTICE. OH LITTLE CHILDREN, THE DAYS OF DECISION PASS QUICKLY AND YOU WAIT, TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT IT IS THAT CAN CHANGE THE HEARTS OF MAN. PRAY. I CAN ONLY SAY TO YOU PRAY, PRAY, PRAY. LOOK TO JESUS. HE IS YOUR HOPE, HE IS MERCY, HE IS LOVE.

YOUR WORDS CANNOT CHANGE THE HEARTS OF MAN. THESE HEARTS ARE HARDENED AGAINST ME AND AGAINST GOD. YOUR WORDS MEAN NOTHING. MY WORDS ARE CAST OFF -- THE WORD OF GOD IS NO LONGER ACKNOWLEDGED.

PRAY, PRAY, PRAY. WHEN THERE IS MUCH PRAYER, ALL IS NOT LOST. I GATHER YOUR PRAYERS AND PRESENT THEM TO THE FATHER. THEY ARE LIKE FLOWERS IN THE SPRING BRINGING LIFE AFTER THE DEAD OF WINTER. LET US HOPE THAT THE HEARTS OF MAN WILL ONCE MORE COME ALIVE WITH A NEWNESS, PRAISING AND LOVING GOD.
LISTEN CHILDREN TO THE WORD OF GOD. IT WILL BE MADE CLEAR TO YOU THE MEANING. THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL AWAKEN IN YOU THIS WISDOM, THAT YOU WILL BE HELP FOR THE HELPLESS. PRAY MY LITTLE CHILDREN PRAY.

IN YOUR PRAYER, DO NOT BE FEARFUL, BUT BE HOPEFUL. LET YOUR HEARTS BE FILLED WITH ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY. LET THE JOY OF YOUR LOVE FOR GOD SHINE IN YOU AS NEVER BEFORE -- BECAUSE NOW THE DARKNESS OF SIN HAS BLANKETED THE EARTH.

MY CHILDREN, YOU HAVE BEEN MADE READY FOR THESE TIMES AND YOUR PRAYERS, THE PRAYERS OF THIS UNITY SHALL BE NOW MOST POWERFUL. BE AT PEACE IN PRAYER AND KNOW THAT WHAT IS TO COME WILL COME AND YOU WILL NOT BE FRIGHTENED OR DISHEARTENED, BUT READY TO SERVE GOD.

I SAY TO YOU ONCE MORE -- PRAY, PRAY MY CHILDREN PRAY.

TODAY, I GIVE MY BLESSING. I GIVE IT AS A MOTHER AND I GIVE IT TO ALL AS A SIGN OF MY DEEPEST LOVE FOR YOU.
