Prayer to bless your home!


FROM: "The Precious Blood" and "Mother"
by The Monastery, Precious Blood, Edmonton, Alberta


O Holy Virgin Mary, conceived without sin, I choose thee this day, to be
the Lady and Mistress of our home, and I pray thee, in the name of the Most
Precious Blood of Jesus, thy Divine Son, and of thy Immaculate Conception, to
preserve it from fire and lightning, from tempests and thieves, from cholera,
influenza, diphtheria, malaria, and all other contagious and pestilential
diseases.



Bless and protect every member of our family, preserve us from sin, from
sudden and unprovided death, and from all other evils and accidents, in the name
and through the Lord, may everything we do begin with Your inspiration and continue with Your help, so that all our prayers and works may begin in You and by You be
happily ended. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

"Come, let us walk together"



Wednesday, January 07, 2009



Dear Friends,



Ministering to a Great Multitude



Jesus went around all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness among the people. His fame spread to all of Syria, and they brought to him all who were sick with various diseases and racked with pain, those who were possessed, lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them. And great crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him. Matthew 4:23 25



Here is another message of Our Lord addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, During the beginning of My ministry, I worked hard in the north of the country in an area called Galilee. I taught the people in their synagogues and I spoke about the kingdom, which I had come to introduce in the world.



I also spoke in the various villages I visited and many people came to listen to Me. I healed many people from all kinds of sicknesses either physical or mental and the people were astonished to see so many cures. People came from all over the area and as far away as Jerusalem and all over Judea and beyond the Jordan River.



I came into the world to show the people that God the Father and I loved them. To show My love, I would forgive them for their sins and heal them from all kinds of sicknesses. I would simply say words like, You are healed, and indeed they were healed. However, what I had come to do was to teach the people the good news that their Savior had come because the Father loved them.



I came to begin My Kingdom among them. To join the Kingdom, you need to believe in Me as your Lord and Saviour and become a member of My Church through Baptism. If you follow Me, you will indeed be part of My Kingdom and I will bring you to heaven with Me one day. Come, let us walk together.

Fr Doucette - Tue, Jan 06, 2009: "Pray so that you will not fall into temptation"



FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE



"Pray so that you will not fall into temptation"



Tuesday, January 06, 2009



Dear Friends,



The Temptation of Jesus



Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was hungry. The tempter approached and said to him, If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread. He said in reply, It is written: One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.



Then the devil took him to the holy city, and made him stand on the parapet of the temple, and said to him, If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written: He will command his angels concerning you, and with their hands they will support you, lest you dash your foot against a stone.



Jesus answered him, Again it is written: You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test. Then the devil took him up to a high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their magnificence, and he said to him, ?All these I shall give to you, if you will prostrate yourself and worship me. At this Jesus said to him, Get away Satan! It is written: The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve. Matthew 4:1 10



Here is another message from the Lord to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, After My baptism in the Jordan, the Holy Spirit led Me into the desert where I spent forty days fasting. During this time I was tempted by the devil three times. The devil knew that I was hungry so he tempted me to use My power to change the rocks into loaves of bread. This would have been an act of pride on My part but I told him that one has to live by every word of God.



The second temptation happened when the devil took me to the top of the temple and told me to throw Myself down and the angels would come to support Me. This is called presumption to force the hand of the Father, so I refused to do what he said.



For the third temptation, the devil took me to a high mountain and showed Me the kingdoms of the world. He offered Me all these kingdoms if I would kneel down and worship him. At this suggestion I chased him away for God alone is to be worshipped.



I call upon you all to be watchful for the evil one is around and he can tempt you. Only with the grace of God can you refuse the devil and avoid sin. I refused completely to do what the evil one asked of Me. You, too, if I live in you can say ?no? to the temptations of the devil. Pray so that you will not fall into temptation.

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 08 - A TRANSFIGURED BODY



Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 08 - A TRANSFIGURED BODY
"By daily visiting the Blessed Sacrament, we follow the footsteps of the
first Christians. In the catacombs were frequently found representations of the
shepherds and the Magi kneeling before the Infant Jesus. Animated by the
living faith that Jesus is present in the Eucharist, with Divinity and Humanity,
with Body and Soul, with Flesh and Blood, these early Christians said with the
shepherds, 'Let us go to Bethlehem'; with the Magi, 'falling down they adored
him' (Matt 2:11). (From The Holy Eucharist Our All, Fr. Lukas Etlin, O.S.B.).



Mother Teresa -
May the joy and love of the Risen Jesus be always with you, in you, and among you, so that we all become the true witnesses of His Father's love for the world:
" For God loved the world so much that He gave His Son. "



Meditations by Padre Pio - In all that you do always be humble, guarding jealously the purity of your heart and the purity of your body; these are the two wings which will raise us to God and make us almost divine.



Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Why do we need to be constantly on the move?



"Most pleasures today are associated with movement and in the case of the young, with speed. A quick change of scenery and pace seems to be one of the ingredients of modern enjoyment. One out of four persons in the United States changes his address during the year. The unquiet mind makes an unquiet body."



St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Help me, O Lord, that my hands may be merciful and filled with good deeds, so that I may do only good to my neighbors and take upon myself the more difficult and toilsome tasks.




Help me, that my feet may be merciful, so that I may hurry to assist my neighbor, overcoming my own fatigue and weariness. My true rest is in the service of my neighbor.



Help me, O Lord, that my heart may be merciful so that I myself may feel all the sufferings of my neighbor. I will refuse my heart to no one. I will be sincere even with those who, I know, will abuse my kindness. And I will lock myself up in the most merciful Heart of Jesus. I will bear my own suffering in silence. May Your mercy, O Lord, rest upon me.



You Yourself command me to exercise the three degrees of mercy. The first: the act of mercy, of whatever kind. The second: the word of mercy-if I cannot carry out a work of mercy, I will assist by my words. The third: prayer-if I cannot show mercy by deeds or words, I can always do so by prayer. My prayer reaches out even there where I cannot reach out physically. O my Jesus, transform me into Yourself, for you can do all things. (163b)



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.



Jan 8 - A TRANSFIGURED BODY



Today Our Lady speaks of the kingdom of heaven in answer to questions by the visionaries :



We go to heaven in full conscience : that which we have now. At the moment of death, we are conscious of the separation of the body and the soul. It is false to teach people that we are reborn many times and that we pass to different bodies. One is born only once.



The body, drawn from the earth decomposes after death. It never comes back to life again. Man receives a transfigured body (First Years July 24, 1982). When speaking of heaven, Jesus liked to use analogies such as the following :



The kingdom of heave is like treasure hidden in a field,which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heave is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; an finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought (Mt 13 :44-46).



Reflection :



The visionary Mirjana describes the vision of heaven the Virgin gave her in this way:



The first thing I noticed were the faces of the people there; they were radiating a type of inner light which shoed how immensely happy they were�The trees, the meadows, the sky are totally different from anything we know on the earth. And the light is much more brilliant. Heaven is beautiful beyond any possible comparison with anything I know of on the earth.



Mirjana goes on to speak of the people there, concluding with, " They have everything. They need or want nothing. They are totally full. "



Vicka, another of the visionaries who were shown heaven, describes it as, "a vast space, and it has a brilliant light which does not leave it. It is a life which we do not know here on earth�People in heaven know the absolute fullness of a created being. "




And a last not on heaven by little Jakov : " If I thought about it too much, I would die of loneliness."



Application :



Reflect on the following today : " See, this kingdom of God is now found within us. The grace of the Holy Spirit shines forth and warms us, and, overflowing with many varied scents into the air around us, regales our senses with heavenly delight, as it fills our hearts with joy inexpressible " (Seraphim of Sarov).

Ned Dougherty Message.January.1.2009: "What To Expect in 2009 & Beyond!"



January 1, 2009



11:00pm
The Rock
Shrine of Our Lady of the Island



Eastport NY
From St. Michael the Archangel



Lo and Behold! A new year dawns upon humanity, and it is a year of great changes for all of the sons and daughters of the Father in Heaven. You are preparing yourselves now for a powerful manifestation of the Holy Spirit that will become evident to all of you within the near future.



These are the times that many prophets of the old ages and of the new ages have been speaking about in preparing humanity for the changes that will take place. It is time now to pay heed to those among you, who have been chosen by the Father, and who have been gifted with the words of prophecy.



These are the times when great changes will take place within your Universe in a way that you will recognize within yourselves interiorly, for as the changes are being made in the heavenly realms, the changes are also being made within the hearts, and minds, and souls of all mankind.



There are many among you who have been living your lives in the Spirit of the Lord. But many among you have been led astray by the darkness of the evil one. Now it is obvious throughout your world, in your politics, in your governments, within your economies, within your institutions of higher learning, nay, it seems within all the earmarks of progress that mankind has made since the birth of the Saviour that all of your works are being reduced to piles of dust, because of the greed and materialism of those among you who have been living sinful and licentious lives.



The evil of the world today is without comparison in any other time in the history of humanity, and many of you are blinding yourselves to the evil that is being worked among you by people of darkness, who are attempting to manipulate and control all of humanity.



This is the time then, as predicted in prophecy, when the Holy Spirit will be manifested powerfully among the peoples of the world to expose those among you who have been deceiving you. It is time now for a revolution of peaceful and prayerful means to manifest a higher level of consciousness and decency among the peoples of the world.



The forces of the dark ones on the earthly plane, as well as the forces of darkness in the spiritual plane, have begun a final grasp at controlling all of you in subjugating you to accept a draconian feudal society that was never part of God’s plan for mankind. Now they seem to be near success in their attempts, and they are conducting their affairs in a sinister and shadowy way across the globe in a very orchestrated attempt to suppress and enslave all of humanity.



How ignorant these despots are in their arrogance and hubris to think that they can joust with God’s plan for mankind and be successful in their attempts against the One who has created all that there is – the Father in Heaven, who has great love for all of His children, and a Father, who intends to directly intervene in the affairs of mankind to bring about a correction caused by all the evil in the world.



Do not be afraid, as great changes will take place that will overwhelm many of you. Those of you who have been living prayerful lives, and who have been attuned to the events that are about to take place, can be readily identified among you.



For those of you who are true believers in the One True God, you must live in these times with great courage, and without fear, and with a sense of excitement, for the times ahead will - in the finality of these events - bring great and wonderful results for all of humanity.





Those who have aligned themselves with the evil one will be exposed for their terrible deceits placed upon their brothers and sisters. The Father in Heaven will see to it that no man will have control over others among His children in the ways that have been used by the deceivers, who are in league with the evil one.



Watch for the signs of the times, especially within your night skies, for there will be signs of the future in spectacular events that will take place among the stars and the planets. These will be signs to prepare you for the coming times in which the power of the Holy Spirit will become so manifested among you that true believers will be filled with great joy, while others, who have fallen away from the Lord and Saviour, will be living in great fear. For they will not have the tools provided by prayer and sacrifice that are necessary for the true believers, who will reign victoriously as God’s children during the times ahead.



Prepare yourselves now, for great events are coming to humanity. The signs of these great events will appear throughout the world and will be recognized by the faithful as signs from God. Recognize that these signs are intended to get your attention and to awaken all of you to focus your attention on your spiritual nature and to recognize that your existence and purpose in your lives is to honor your Father in Heaven, for He alone is your Creator, and He alone offers you the salvation of eternal life.



Be wary of the false gods and false religions that are being manifested before you in these times, for there will be many false prophets and many deceivers pretending to be doing the work of the Lord, when they are really acting as agents of the dark one, who is using his earthly minions and puppets to create a new world order. This plan of evildoers will collapse under the weight of the justice of the One True God in Heaven.



I call upon all of you now to take up your arms of prayer and to pray mightily for the power of the Holy Spirit to intervene in the affairs of mankind. It is through your prayers that the Father in Heaven will intervene in the affairs of mankind. Your Lord and Saviour, the Redeemer of the world, who manifested Himself among you 2,000 years ago, is now very powerfully present among you, as the Son of the Father, and it is through His Son and through the power of the Holy Spirit that great events are coming to mankind.



Love, above all, is the ingredient that God calls for in the prayers of His children in these times. While the enemy is provoking fear and loathing among brothers and sisters of different beliefs, or backgrounds, or nations, the One True God in Heaven is promoting His love among His children.



You must ask yourselves: Will you be God’s children of love and manifest the Holy Spirit throughout your daily lives? Or will you join the forces of evil and continue to lead lives of materialism and greed?



The answer should be clear for you. Those of you who believe in the one True God are already experiencing the Love, the most powerful and joyful Love that comes only from the Father and Creator in Heaven. You have a responsibility now, as you are gifted with God’s eternal love, to spread and promote the Love of God to all of your brothers and sisters. This is your mission now to bring real change to the future of the world.



This is what your Father in Heaven, the Lord and Saviour, and Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit are asking of you right now, not tomorrow, but tonight and today.



Prepare yourselves through prayer and sacrifice. The year ahead of you will be fraught with great changes and even shocking events for all of you. For those of you who are living the life that God wants of you, you have nothing to fear for the Father in Heaven will prevail in the end.



God bless all of you who contribute to His victory!

Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.


Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails. Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

BLACK SAINTS OF THE DAY


Black Saints of the day—From the Black Saints reference book (James Wesly Smith), 456 pages, paperback, 1000 lines of Black and African Saints in the Latin Rite, Coptic and Orthodox branches of the Mystical Body of Christ (all Christianity combined) to year 599 A.D. Order from BarnesandNobles.com, Ingram Book Group internationally, Amazon, wherever online books are sold, or quickly from www.booklocker.com/books/3088.html



Two folks who must be mentioned in the order of African Christianity (so thus under Holy Folk, because of their respective influences Origen, and Tertullian).
Tertullian had problems later with Latin Rite. If the reader is a member of those ways of worship. Read with discernment




Tertullian



(QUINTUS SEPTIMIUS FLORENS TERTULLIANUS).



I was a prolific Church writer in the second and third centuries. The sunrise of my life was in and around 160 A.D. At Carthage. My father was a Roman Centurion in government (proconsular) service.



I was an advocate in the Roman (civil) law-courts. I spoke and read proficiently both Greek and Latin, writing in the former.



I converted to Christianity in my later years before 197 A.D.
I was consecrated a priest in the Church of Carthage in and around the year 200 A.D. Around 206 A.D. I joined the Montanist sect of Christianity, I am thought to have separated from the Orthodoxy of the Church in or about about 211A.D. or 213 A.D.



Later I separated from the Montanists and am said to have founded a Christian sect of his my own. Augustine reconciled my remaining followers (Tertullianists) to the Church. St Jerome says I lived to old age.




The Carthage Church system included those who committed grievous sins confessed them to the bishop. I absolved them after due penance enjoined and performed, unless the case was in his judgment so grave that public penance was obligatory.



Public penance was allowed only once. It lasted for protracted periods, even often until the death’s hour. At the end of it forgiveness and restoration were promised. At the prayer of martyrs, the term was frequently shortened.



It has been said my Trinitarian teaching proves inconsistent, an amalgamation of the Roman doctrine with that of Justin martyr.
But scholars have pointed out that I have the true formula for the Holy Trinity, tres Personae, una Substantia. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are numerically distinct, and each is they are of one substance, one state, and one power. My doctrine is Nicene derivative.



Though not in Scripture, my list of customs observed by Apostolic tradition remains renowned: the baptismal renunciations and feeding with milk and honey, fasting Communion, offerings for the dead (Masses) on their anniversaries, no fasting or kneeling on the Lord's Day and between Easter and Pentecost, anxiety as to the falling to the ground of any crumb or drop of the Holy Eucharist, the Sign of the Cross made continually during the day.



I am among the preeminent firsts of the Latin theological writers. I have developed a theological idiom of explanation. I have been said to have used new expressions. I am among the first witnesses to the Latin Bible being extant in my day. Scholars think I frequently translated from the Greek Bible in my writing. Perpetua possessed one at Carthage in 203 A.D.

O Holy Virgin Mary, conceived without sin, I choose thee this day, to be
the Lady and Mistress of our home, and I pray thee, in the name of the Most
Precious Blood of Jesus, thy Divine Son, and of thy Immaculate Conception, to
preserve it from fire and lightning, from tempests and thieves, from cholera,

diseases.

sudden and unprovided death, and from all other evils and accidents, in the name
and through the Lord, may everything we do begin with Your inspiration and continue with Your help, so that all our prayers and works may begin in You and by You be
happily ended. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

"Accept My Church today"
Monday, January 05, 2009



Dear Friends,



As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.



At once they left their nets and followed him. He walked along from there and saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat, with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him. Matthew 4:18 22



Here is another message from Our Lord addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, My Father founded the State of Israel on the twelve tribes that issued forth from the twelve sons of Jacob or Israel. So, in order to establish My Church I founded her on the twelve Apostles chosen by Me.



Their names are Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James, Thaddeus, Simon and Judas Iscariot. I called them one by one to leave everything and to follow Me.



They were with Me about three years. They were present at all My speeches and they witnessed many of My healings. I give them talks when I was alone with them and I answered their questions. I gave them power to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers and to drive out demons.



They became the leaders of My Church under the headship of Peter. They all worked very well except Judas who denied Me and killed himself. All the others are saints and they are with Me in heaven. All the Bishops and priests are successors of the Apostles and the Pope of Rome is the successor of St.



Peter.



I founded only one Church and where the successor of Peter is, there is My Church. Accept My Church today and follow her teachings, which I gave to her. She alone teaches the full truth I brought to you. I bless you all.

Fr Doucette - Sun, Jan 04, 2009: "You are My beloved friends"



FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE



"You are My beloved friends"



Sunday, January 04, 2009




Dear Friends,



The Visit of the Magi



When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage. When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled and all Jerusalem with him.



Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born. They said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea. Herod sent them to Bethlehem and said, Go and search diligently for the child.



When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and do him homage. After their audience with the king they set out. And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother.



They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way. Matthew 2:1 5, 8:12



Joseph received another message from Our Lord and this is the message he received from Jesus, The Magi who were not Jews came from the east of Israel following a star to Jerusalem. They had seen a star, which they interpreted as the star of the newborn king of the Jews and they wanted to go and do homage to him. They stopped in Jerusalem to ask King Herod where I was born.



The chief priests and the scribes knew that the Messiah was to be born in Bethlehem, so the king sent them to Bethlehem to find him and to report to him so he too could go and do him homage. They left and the star guided them to the house where I was with My Mother. They did Me homage and gave me great gifts. Then they returned home another way because they were told not to return to Herod as what he had told them about doing homage to Me was a lie.



On this Feast of Epiphany or Manifestation, I manifested Myself to the Gentiles, as I came as the Savior of all the people of the world not only the Jews. This is seen today by the fact that My Church is spread throughout the world.



The three magi represent all of you, non-Jews, who have come to believe in Me and to follow Me. Today is your great Feast. Come and render Me homage like the magi and I will bless you. You are My beloved friends for whom I came into this world and for whom I died.

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 07 - DEEPEN YOUR FAITH




"The eucharistic blessing shows us how close Jesus is to us in our humble lives. 'God with us.' His blessing falls upon our troubles and afflictions, our anxieties and temptations, our failings and weaknesses" (Pope Bl. John XXIII).



Mother Teresa -
I believe that the most important thing is for us to love Jesus, then to love one another ourselves and the members of our families and to show our love for the poor



Meditations by Padre Pio - We must always strictly observe these two virtues: sweetness with our neighbors and holy humility with God



Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Getting away from the Maddening Mob
"It is much easier to find a television program on a prize fight than one on Shakespeare. As the English philosopher, C.E.M. Joad put it, `Those things which are peculiar to each of us and may in their forms of expression well be different in all of us cannot be catered for in bulk by commercial agencies.' When you want to enjoy an individual pleasure, even though it be but an hour of chamber music in the privacy of your own room, or a page of Pepys' Diary, you must isolate yourself from those who cater to the mob."



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



O Most Holy Trinity! As many times as I breathe, as many times as my heart beats, as many times as my blood pulsates through my body, so many thousand times do I want to glorify Your mercy.



I want to be completely transformed into Your mercy and to be Your living reflection, O Lord. May the greatest of all divine attributes, that of Your unfathomable mercy, pass through my heart and soul to my neighbor.



Help me, O Lord, that my eyes may be merciful, so that I may never suspect or judge from appearances, but look for what is beautiful in my neighbors' souls and come to their rescue.



Help me, that my ears may be merciful, so that I may give heed to my neighbors' needs and not be indifferent to their pains and moanings.



Help me, O Lord, that my tongue may be merciful, so that I should never speak negatively of my neighbor, but have a word of comfort and forgiveness for all. (163a)



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.



Jan 7 - DEEPEN YOUR FAITH



The Blessed Mother speaks today of deepening our faith:



For you who have the faith, this time constitutes a great opportunity for you to be converted, and to deepen your faith (Locutionists Jelena & Mirjana December 15, 1982).



And Jesus speaks of the great power of faith:



He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move form here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you" (Mt 17:20).



Reflection:



There is a story of the poet Coleridge who one day listened to a visitor's vehement argument against religious education of the young. His acquaintance had concluded with a statement of his determination not to prejudice his children toward any faith or religion, but to let them make up their own minds when thy reached maturity. Coleridge made no immediate comment, but shortly afterwards asked this same visitor if he would like to see his garden. Receiving a positive response, he led his guest to a strip of lawn that was overgrown with weeds.



"Why, this is no garden. It's nothing but a weed patch", said his guest.



"Oh", replied Coleridge, "that's because it hasn't come to its maturity yet. The weeds, you see, have taken the opportunity to grow, and I thought it would be unfair of me to prejudice the soil toward roses and strawberries".



Clearly one of the responsibilities of faith is to pass it on to the next generation. If we believe it to be the most precious of gifts, as Jesus and his Mother teach us today, then we will be anxious to share it with others, especially those closest to us.



Application:
In your life, who was most instrumental in handing on the faith to you? In prayer, reflect on the ways that you in turn can pass on your faith to others.



Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 06 - LIFE WILL FLOW FROM YOUR HEARTS



"It moves me to see how the joy of Eucharistic adoration is increasing throughout the Church, and how its fruits are appearing. During the period of liturgical reform, Mass and Eucharistic adoration outside of Mass were often seen as
being in opposition." "[However,] receiving the Eucharist means adoring Him Whom we receive." (Pope Benedict XVI, Dec. 22, 2005)
"If you ate only one meal a week would you survive? It is the same for your soul. Nourish it with the Blessed Sacrament." (Bl. Andre Bessette)



SATAN FEARS MARY
"Satan fears Mary, and he especially fears Her in Her promise of salvation. How could we better practice an apostolate against him at the present stage, than by dispelling the clouds of ignorance which hide Her there? ...



'They who explain Me shall have life everlasting' is a passage of Scripture (Ecclus. 24:31) that has caused many men to write about the Blessed Virgin.



She has already promised life everlasting; but if we explain Her, spreading books written about Her, may we not hope that so bountiful a Mother will give us life everlasting more abundantly? Not only is She never outdone in generosity, but today, more than ever, She wants it to be known that She may draw men to Her Son" (Haffert).





Mother Teresa -
Love has to hurt to be true.
It hurt Jesus to love us.
It truly hurt Him.



Meditations by Padre Pio - Love does not tolerate delay and immediately upon arrival, they [the Magi] did everything within their power to make Him known; He who had conquered their hearts through the influence of grace, wounding them with the kind of charity that must overflow, because it cannot be contained in the small structure of the heart and must therefore be communicated.



Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Reaching the masses has turned into a mess




"Our complex modern society is directed to the creation of mass entertainment rather than individual pleasure. Movies, television, advertising are geared to the masses, and generally to their lowest common denominator. Their aim is to satisfy what all have in common, rather than what they have individually."



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

November, 1932. Today I arrived in Warsaw for the third probation. After a cordial meeting with the dear Mothers, I went into the small chapel for a moment. Suddenly God's presence filled my soul, and I heard these words, My daughter, I desire that your heart be formed after the model of My merciful Heart. You must be completely imbued with My mercy.



Dear Mother Directress [Margaret] at once asked me whether I had had a retreat that year, and I said no. "Then you must first have a retreat of at least three days." Thanks be to God there was at Walendow an eight-day retreat in which I could take part. But difficulties arose in regard to my leaving for this retreat. A certain person opposed my going very much, and it already [appeared that] I was not to go. After dinner, I went into the chapel for a five-minute adoration.



Suddenly I saw the Lord Jesus, who said to me, My daughter, I am preparing many graces for you, which you will receive during this retreat which you will begin tomorrow. I answered, "Jesus, the retreat has already begun, and I am not supposed to go." And He said to me, Get ready for it, because you will begin the retreat tomorrow. And as for your departure, I will arrange that with the superiors. And in an instant, Jesus disappeared. (167)






MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY




Jan 6 - LIFE WILL FLOW FROM YOUR HEARTS




The following locution was received by Jelena Vasilj for her prayer group:



If you pray, a source of life will flow from your hearts. If you pray with strength, if you pray with faith, you will receive graces from this source, and your group will be strengthened (Locutionists Jelena & Mirjana October 24, 1983).



Jesus speaks of group prayer in the following passage from scripture:



Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about everything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them (Mt 18:19-20).



Reflection:



In Medjugorje, Our Lady has made a point of encouraging group prayer, and has founded two prayer groups herself, one led by Ivan and Marija, the other by the two young locutionists, Jelena and Mirjana Vasilj.



Concerning such groups, Ivan has said, "The Gospa would like prayer groups throughout the world. Through prayer we come to know God, and there is much power in group prayer".



With regard to the organization of such groups, Ivan emphasizes the importance of a dedicated and reliable leader. Also, he says, "the prayer group should have a definite goal. The members should have a reason to meet and pray and fast".



The goal of his own group is to help the Blessed Virgin to achieve God's plans, no less than the conversion of the world. "We do this", he says, "through living the messages and encouraging others to live them."



Application:




Have you considered joining a prayer group in your local area, or perhaps starting one if none exist? You could count on an array of blessings from the Mother of God in doing so.



Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 05 - LIVE EACH NEW DAY WITH LOVE



-
"Praised be Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar. May he be
praised as many times as there are stars in the sky, drops of water in the
sea, grains of sand on the shore" (Bl. Therese Couderc).



Mother Teresa -

With a generous and cheerful smile, we should be able to accept everything that happens, both the joyful things and the sad things.



Meditations by Padre Pio -

Oh how precious time is! Blessed are those who know how to make good use of it, because, on the day of judgment, all will have to render a strict account of it to the supreme Judge. Oh, if only all could understand how precious time is, undoubtedly everyone would do his best to spend it in a praise worthy manner!






Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
There is never a singular pleasure by and of itself!



"Pleasure is very peculiar: to possess it one must not seek it directly, but rather seek it through something else. Not even an avid cocktail drinker takes a cocktail to have pleasure; rather, he has pleasure because he takes a cocktail. Pleasure does not cause itself, but is caused by the possession of some good or the attainment of some purpose."



St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian. org/directory_ flash.html
During adoration I felt God close to me. A moment later I saw Jesus and Mary. At the sight of them I was filled with joy, and I asked the Lord, "What is Your will, Jesus, concerning the matter about which my confessor told me to ask You?"



Jesus replied, It is My will that he should remain here and that he should not take the initiative of dispensing himself. I asked Jesus whether the inscription could be: "Christ King of Mercy." He answered, I am King of Mercy, but He did not say "Christ." I desire that this image be displayed in public on the first Sunday after Easter. That Sunday is the Feast of Mercy. Through the Word Incarnate I make known the bottomless depth of My mercy. (88)




Strangely, all things came about just as the Lord had requested. In fact, it was on the first Sunday after Easter [April, 1935] that the image was publicly honored by crowds of people for the first time. For three days it was exposed and received public veneration. Since it was placed at the very top of a window at Ostra Brama [Shrine of Our Lady above the "Eastern Gate" to the city of Vilnius], it could be seen from a great distance.



At Ostra Brama, during these three days, the closing of the Jubilee of the Redemption of the World was being celebrated, marking the nineteen hundred years that have passed since the Passion of our Savior. I see now that the work of Redemption is bound up with the work of mercy requested by the Lord. (89)



MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY



Jan 5 - LIVE EACH NEW DAY WITH LOVE



Of love and peace, Our Lady said to Jelena:



Dear children! I want you to live each new day with love and peace. I want you to be the carrier of peace and love. People need so much those graces of peace and love, but they have lost them because they don't pray!



Create in your hearts a permanent prayer, because only thus will you be able to be prepared vessels. Through prayer your Father will build you into the vessels he wants. For this abandon yourselves completely to him (Locution Jelena & Mirajana July 11, 1987).



I have given you my love, so that you may give it to others (First Years September 1987).



And to Marija in 1985:



I have given you my love, so that you may give it to others (First Years September 1985).



In Romans, Paul echoes this call to love:



Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord (Rom 12:9-11).



Reflection:



With the Blessed Mother, St. Paul also emphasizes the law of love, which supercedes even civil and religious laws. Sometimes we can excuse our indifference to others simply because we have no legal obligation to help them. We even can justify harming them if our actions are technically legal.



But Jesus and his Mother do not leave loopholes in their call to love. Whenever love requires it, we are asked to go beyond human legal requirements and imitate their loving kindness.



Application:



Today, reflect on this thought by St. Catherine of Sienna: "The reason why God's servants love others so much is that they see how much Christ loves them, and it is one of the properties of love to love what is loved by the person we love?"



Message to Eileen Renders Jan.4,2009



Sunday, January 04, 2009



Those Who Follow Jesus Will Fear Not!



Saturday I visited church to make the Sacrament of Penance. And attended my usual 8:00 A.M. Mass at my parish where I made small sacrifices to Jesus and Mary and prayed for all with special needs and intentions.



With new enthusiasm, I prayed to my guardian angel to help guide me and to intercede for me with Jesus that I hear only and see only His word after Holy Communion.



After making perfect Act of Contrition, I received the Eucharist and knelt giving thanks and praise to God. Then I prayed saying; Speak Lord, Your servant listens.



Jesus responded to my prayer saying, My child Eileen, hear the wind blow and see how the roofs shake, some being completely torn away! Yet there is not one human being who can control the forces of nature, but for the Lord Your God!



Those who are Mine will follow Me and I will lead them to safety! Man with of luke warm faith will be taken over by the evil one who will control their comings and goings. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

Vision to littlest of servants January 4, 2009



While driving to MASS this morning I saw the words DNA.



Then the ETERNAL FATHER spoke and said that there is only ONE GOD and that there shall be no false gods before HIM. That men are trying to play god and HE WILL NOT ALLOW THIS.



That HE is the CREATOR and we are the created. That the clay does not tell the pottery maker what he wishes to be nor will HE allow us to run HIS CREATION. That the created are trying to play creator and that this will not be allowed. That now man would feel the power of HIS MOST HOLY JUSTICE and that we would be brought to our knees.



That we have forced HIS HAND and in order to protect HIS CREATION HE MUST TAKE ACTION. If HE does not man will destroy HIS CREATION and himself in the process.



Later at MASS I again saw the words DNA but this time I saw an Angel and he had a sword in his hand and the sword was flaming red indicating JUSTICE. On the sword I saw the words abortion, DNA, stem cell, and cloning on it.



I then saw the angel standing over the earth and he touched the earth with the tip of the sword and when he did this the entire earth started to shake.




I then hear GOD THE FATHER say they shall have no false gods before ME. The ETERNAL FATHER then said that HE takes no comfort in what has to be done but it is necessary.



JESUS then spoke and told me that the world must be purified of it filth in order for HIS REIGN to start. That the world must go through a purification in order that all creation be returned to the original state that the MOST HOLY TRINITY FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT intended for it.



Message to Mirjana Jan.2,2009



Our Lady's first message of the new year, through
Medjugorje visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo.
January 2, 2009:



"Dear children!



While great heavenly grace is being lavished upon you,
your hearts remain hard and without response. My
children, why do you not give me your hearts completely?
I only desire to put in them peace and salvation - my Son.



With my Son your soul will be directed to noble goals and
you will never get lost. Even in greatest darkness you will
find the way. My children decide for a new life with the
name of my Son on your lips. Thank you."



Lec's Dream - New Year's Eve-12-31-08



January 4, 2009



On New Year's Eve, I took a short nap while waiting for the
clock to strike 12:01 to welcome the new year. I had a scary dream.
I saw myself and my wife walking into a big church (not St. Francis
where I attend daily mass).



While inside, I saw torrents of water
pouring down from the roof and the walls of the church building.
Fearing that the building would collapse from the sheer force of the
onrushing water, I told my wife to run with all her might out of
the building. No matter how much faster we run, we were still
engulfed by the surging waters and found ourselves struggling to
remain afloat. At the end, I saw that my wife and myself survived
the great flood.



A tsunami dream perhaps. There is recent news of a huge earthquake
occuring near us at 7.2 magnitude. Here is the report:

EPIPHANY BLESSING OF A HOUSE
Blessing of the Home on Epiphany



Read the story about Zacchaeus [Luke 19:1-9] from the Family Bible.



Chalk is blessed at Church and brought to the home.



Write above the entry way: 20 + C + M + B + 09 and pray . . .



Leader. Peace be to this house and all who live here. During these days of the Christmas season, we keep this feast of Epiphany. Through the guidance of a star, the coming of Jesus was made known to the Gentiles. We celebrate Christ made known to the Magi, to John in the River Jordan, and to the disciples at the wedding at Cana.



Today Christ is made known to us! Today this home is a holy place!

The Magi came from the east to Bethlehem to adore the Lord.

"They went into the house, and when they saw the child

with His mother Mary, they knelt down and worshipped him.

They brought out their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh,

and presented them to Him." [Matthew 2:11]




We bow our heads and pray for God's blessing . . .

Lord our God, bless our home and all who live here.

May we be filled with health, goodness of heart,

gentleness, obedience to Your law, and thanksgiving to the Father,

and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.


Help us love and respect one another

and make Your presence known by the way we care for others.

May this blessing remain upon this house and upon all who live here.



Through Christ our Lord. AMEN.



[All the rooms can be blessed and sprinkled with Holy Water if you wish]



Although their names are not known, medieval legend calls the Magi Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. The name magoi was used by Matthew [2:1-12] to indicate "sages" who came to adore Christ. This blessing of homes on Epiphany has become traditional in some cultures.



Some interpret the letters to stand for Christus Mansioni Benedicat!



May Christ bless this house!



SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH



"Glorious St. Joseph, tenderhearted father, faithful
guardian of Jesus, chaste spouse of the Mother of
God, I ask you to join me in praising God the Father
through His Divine Son who died on the cross and
rose again to give us sinners new life. Through the
Holy Name of Jesus, pray with me that we may obtain
from the eternal Father the favor we ask. (here
state your intention)."



Say this prayer for nine consecutive days.


Fear not! God is your shelter (the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer. God never fails. Don’t fail him. Call on Jesus. Jesus on the mainline, tell him what you want!

PROPHECY MEDITATIONS TODAY



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



Fair use, educational and religious purposes, 17 U.S.C. for those in the African Diasora who would otherwise not be exposed to such.






Monthly Message to Marija - December 25, 2008
“Dear children! You are running, working, gathering – but without blessing. You are not praying! Today I call you to stop in front of the manger and to meditate on Jesus, Whom I give to you today also, to bless you and to help you to comprehend that, without Him, you have no future. Therefore, little children, surrender your lives into the hands of Jesus, for Him to lead you and protect you from every evil. Thank you for having responded to my call.”



Message to Jakov - Annual Christmas Apparition



"Dear Children! Today, in a special way, I call you to pray for peace. Without God, you cannot have peace or live in peace. Therefore, little children, today on this day of grace, open your hearts to the King of Peace for him to be born in you and to grant you his peace; and you, be carriers of peace in this peaceless world. Thank you for having responded to my call."





Fr Doucette - Fri, Dec 26, 2008: "I love you"



FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE



"I love you"



Friday, December 26, 2008



Dear Friends,



When the angels went away from them to heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let us go, then, to Bethlehem to see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.? So they went in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds. And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them.? Luke 2:15?20



Here is another message from Our Lord addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, On the day I was born, angels appeared to the shepherds who were guarding the sheep around Bethlehem. They announced to them the good news that would fill them with joy: 'In Bethlehem a Savior has been born who is the Messiah.' Hearing this news, they hurried up and went to Bethlehem to see what the Lord had made known to them.



They found Mary, My Mother, Joseph, my foster father, and I lying in the manger. They saw this small infant and they were amazed what the angels had said about this child. Indeed I had come into the world as the Messiah and Lord to redeem the people of the world.



The Jewish shepherds were the first to come to the stable to see Me after My birth. They were filled with joy at what they saw. I call you to be like these shepherds and come and see Me in the manger and see that I am born for you. I come to show you the love of the Father for you all. The Father is the one who sent Me to be born as a man among you.



I come as a weak human being to be cared for and fed by other human beings. I am God with all power but, in My love, I place myself as a child in the hands of those I created that they may take care of their God. In my humility, I identify with you in your humanity to raise you up to the heights of heaven. Yes, I am truly God but at the same time I am truly man. I come to close the gap caused by sin between the Father and you. I want you all to be His beloved children. I love you and I give Myself for your salvation.



Father Melvin

Message to J.N.S.R. Oct.8,2008



The Reign of God is very near



October 8, 2008



JNSR: What noise, what uproar! Do not fear anything any longer. It is the fall of the giants with feet of clay..... They fall one after the other......It is a cascade tripping them all. In this torrent, they try to stand up in spite of the swift stream, but how can anyone resist this non-stop assault of that river of money, that will not stop running, thereby destroying the feet of clay, all those foundations crumbling, one after the other.



"Fear not", says the Lord, "I am with you".



Human pride, which has fed the Enemy of Humanity, has just seen crashing its golden and silver gate, that separated the rich from the poor.



It is crumbling, it gets out of its bed, that great prostitute that was selling to the highest bidder, making each country that rose up above the others, its favorite bed. The prostitute is crying.



O Wealth, wealth, you are crumbling in the arms of your lovers, who are losing their crown in losing you. Not one of those giants can stand up any longer. That swift uncontrollable current brings everything with it towards the bottomless ocean. Goodbye victories, power, mansions! Which possessions could you fight for now? Where will you hide what you have left?



When God tells you: "Behold I am coming", you will no longer be there for you will have chosen Him in order to come with Him, to take possession of His New Earth, or His New Heavens, but either way, it will be with God as the sole Master, Love for all men for Eternity, conquered with all His children at the sole price of your Love for Him.



The Reign of God is very near.



Amen.



Jesus Our Lord Returns



http://www.jnsr.be/uk.htm



"We can actually come and adore Him like the shepherds; we can prostrate ourselves before Him like the Magi; we need no longer regret our not having been present at Bethlehem" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).



"This is the great reality of Christian history: Jesus, the sacred host, the Bread of life, in the midst of his Church. This is that brightest star which enables us to look forward with great confidence to the future kingdom of Christ. And as we bless and adore Jesus in the most holy Eucharist we wish to raise our hearts in trustful prayer to Mary, his sweet Mother, and our Mother too.



"So let us turn to her as our own dear Mother. It is she who bore and presented to the world Jesus, our Redeemer and Saviour . . . . We worship Jesus in the holy Eucharist: God with us! God with us!" (Pope Bl. John XXIII).

December 25, 1986 (Christmas Day)



"Dear children! Today also I give thanks to the Lord for all that He is doing for me, especially for this gift that I am able to be with you also today. Dear children, these are the days in which the Father grants special graces to all who open their hearts. I bless you and I desire that you too, dear children, become alive to the graces and place everything at God's disposal so that He may be glorified through you. My heart carefully follows your progress. Thank you for having responded to my call."

When was the first all night vigil?





Mother Teresa -
I think there is something that can make us live joyfully. It is that Jesus is with us and loves us. If each one of us would simply remember that God loves us and is giving us the chance to love others in that love not so much in big things but in the little things of life our countries could become full of God's love.



Meditations by Padre Pio - Live joyfully and courageously, at least in the upper part of the soul, amidst the trials in which the Lord places you. Live joyfully and courageously, I repeat, because the Angel who foretells the birth of our little Savior and Lord, announces singing, and sings announcing that he brings tidings of joy, peace and happiness to men of good-will. So that there is nobody who does not know that in order to receive this Child it is sufficient to be of good-will.



Archbishop Fulton Sheen -



True Faith is not popular with the ego



"How many people there are in Church on Sunday sitting in the first seat of the pew, who resent anyone asking them to `please move over.' They came to kneel before a cross, but they do not want one standing along side them. How many there are too who sing lustily the hymn.



`Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were an offering far too small.'



And, then, when the collection box is passed, they drop in a nickel. The fact is religion is popular only when it ceases to be truly religious. Religion by its very nature is unpopular - certainly unpopular with the ego"




St. Faustina's diary



December 23, 1936. I am spending this time with the Mother of God and preparing myself for the solemn moment of the coming of the Lord Jesus. The Mother of God is instructing me in the interior life of the soul with Jesus, especially in Holy Communion. It is only in eternity that we shall know the great mystery effected in us by Holy Communion. O most precious moments of my life! (840)



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.



Dec 25 - CHRISTMAS DAY



On Christmas Day in 1989, Our Lady spoke of being a light for others:



Dear children, here is my Son in my arms! I would like to ask you to be a light for all in the year to come. I would like to call you again to live my messages, the message of peace, conversion, prayer, penance, and faith. Dear children, your Mother does not seek words from you, I ask for deeds. Your Mother will help you and she will give you the strength to persevere. And tonight I would like to tell you: Rejoice! (Visionary Prayer Group Dec 25, 1989).



And from Luke's gospel, the shepherds come to adore the Christ-child:



When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us".



So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them.



But Mary treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them (Lk 2:15-20).





Reflection:



Christmas is a season of light, the light of angels among shepherds, the light of a great star beckoning wise men, and in our own day, the multicolored lights of Christmas trees, outdoor decorations, and the bright glow from the windows of homes where families are gathered to celebrate.



Appropriately, today the Blessed Mother calls each of us to be, "a light for all in the year to come". Through living her messages, we have become changed people. The new peace and kindness in our lives attracts others who wish to share in these gifts of grace. In such a way, we have to become beacons of hope and joy drawing others to Christ.



Although our characters differ, and our personalities are unique, it is our many colors that form a harmony as Christmas lights on an evergreen. In the darkness, the glowing of the shinning lights is truly beautiful.



Application:



As Our Lady calls us to be a light for others by living her messages, let us pray for her special help today in doing just that.



Message to Eileen Renders Dec.24, 2008



Those who do not believe that Jesus sends us messages through this messenger has the option to delete them, or not subscribe to them.



As I said earlier, I did not even know for certain that we HAD guardian angels, let alone they had such names, but I do not question Jesus.



If we were made to take a Saint's name in order to receive the sacrament of Confirmation to be confirmed in our faith/church. Why then is it so difficult to believe that our guardian angels may have the name of a Saint, Martyr or Hero in history?



As far as the church in her teachings, it is not infallible, only the Pope is infallible in what he has to say about our religion and I can find nothing where the Pope has said that our guardian angels cannot have names of people that once lived.



Those that are too quick to judge are righteous but not necessarily "right." If I become too defensive that is because in a way, I feel I am defending Jesus' word. I am human and with many failings. Not a Saint, not a martyr or a hero.



December 24th, 2008



Christmas Eve



Jesus Asks Us To Be A Light In The World



This evening we went to the 6:30 P.M. Mass at our parish. After making small offerings to Jesus and Mary, I made an Act of Contrition in preparation of receiving the Holy Eucharist and prayed for the special needs and intentions of all.



After receiving the most precious body and blood of Jesus Christ, I knelt in silent commune with Him and prayed for His guidance. I asked Jesus to please cover me with His most precious blood and then prayed, speak Lord (if it be His will always), Your servant listens.



Jesus responded to my prayer saying, Eileen My child, Behold a child is born, a Light unto the world. Be a light in the world by allowing the light inside you that comes from Me to be seen by others through your words and actions.



I love you as I love all My children. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters.

Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 27 - I WISH TO DEEPEN YOUR LOVE



Message of December 25, 2005 (Transmitted by Marija)
"Dear children! Also today, in my arms I bring you little Jesus, the King of Peace, to bless you with His peace. Little children, in a special way today I call you to be my carriers of peace in this peaceless world. God will bless you.



Little children, do not forget that I am your mother. I bless you all with a special blessing, with little Jesus in my arms. Thank you for having responded to my call."



Message of December 25, 2005 (Transmitted by Jakov)
"Dear children! Today, with Jesus in my arms, in a special way I call you to conversion. Children, through all this time which God permitted me to be with you, I continuously called you to conversion. Many of your hearts remained closed. Little children, Jesus is peace, love and joy; therefore now decide for Jesus. Start to pray.



Pray to Him for the gift of conversion. Little children, only with Jesus can you have peace, joy and a heart filled with love. Little children, I love you. I am your mother and give you my motherly blessing.



"To each and everyone He comes as if He had never come before in His own sweet way, He the Child who is born . . . Jesus the Savior, He Emmanuel, He, Christ as Christ's Mass on Christmas—Merry Christmas!!" (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen).



Mother Teresa -
Let's concentrate on a worthwhile goal:

that no child be unwanted,

that no person go unloved.

And let's not stop smiling at whomever we meet, especially when it's hard to smile.




Meditations by Padre Pio - Jesus calls the poor and simple shepherds by means of angels to manifest Himself to them. He calls the learned men by means of their science. And all of them moved interiorly by grace hasten to adore Him. He calls all of us with divine inspirations and He communicates Himself to us with His Grace. How many times has He not lovingly invited us also? And with what promptitude have we replied? My God I blush and am filled with confusion at having to reply to such a question.



Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Totalitarianism is the scapegoat of irresponsibility



"Perhaps it is the very burden of responsibility which flows from free choice that makes so many human beings ready to surrender their great gift of freedom. This also explains the search for someone to whom they can commit their choice, who will do their thinking for them and relieve them of the awful burden of the consequences of their free decisions.



This search for someone to whom neurotic minds can commit themselves explains the comparatively facile surrender of so many to totalitarianism in our day and age."



St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Sister C.* came in the afternoon and took me home for the holy days. I was happy to be reunited with the community. As we were riding through the city [Cracow], I imagined it was the town of Bethlehem. As I watched all those people hurrying about, I thought: who is meditating today, in recollection and silence, on this inconceivable mystery? O pure Virgin, You are traveling today, and so am I. I feel that today's journey has its symbolism.



O radiant Virgin, pure as crystal, all immersed in God, I offer You my spiritual life; arrange everything that it may be pleasing to Your Son. O my Mother, how ardently I desire that You give me the Infant Jesus during the Midnight Mass. And I felt such a living presence of God in the depths of my soul, that it was only by sheer will-power that I restrained my, joy in order not to show outwardly what was going on in my soul. (844)



Mary, Immaculate Virgin, take me under your special protection and guard the purity of my soul, heart and body. You are the model and star of my life. (874)



*Sister Cajetan-Mary Bartkowiak. Born January 19, 1911, she entered the Congregation in 1933. She was with Sister Faustina in Warsaw and in Cracow. She was a witness at the information process in 1965-66.



MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY






Dec 27 - I WISH TO DEEPEN YOUR LOVE
In this Christmas season, Our Lady seeks to lead us further in love:



Dear children, I wish to thank all of you who have heeded my messages and who, on Christmas Day, have put into practice what I asked of you. Undefiled by sin from now on, I wish to deepen your love even further. And so, abandon your hearts to me! (Weekly Message Dec 26, 1985).



The story of the Magi speaks of love expressing itself in giving:



When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh (Mt 2: 9-12).



Reflection:



As our readings illustrate today, Christmas is the great season of love and giving. The Magi, awed by the miracle of God coming into the world as a helpless infant, responded by offering him their most precious gifts.



This spirit of giving is captured in this passage from Frank O'Connor's, An Only Child:



One Christmas, Santa Claus brought me a toy engine. I took it with me to the convent, and played with it while mother and the nuns discussed old times. But it was a young nun who brought us in to see the crib.



When I saw the Holy Child in the manger, I was distressed because little as I had, he had nothing at all. For me it was fresh proof of the incompetence of Santa Claus.



I asked the young nun politely if the Holy Child didn't like toys, and she replied composedly enough, "Oh, he does, but his mother is too poor to afford them." That settled it. My mother was poor too, but at Christmas she at least managed to buy me something even if it was only a box of crayons.



I distinctly remember getting into the crib and putting the engine between his outstretched arms. I probably showed him how to wind it as well, because a small baby like that would not be clever enough to know. I remember too the tearful feeling of reckless generosity with which I left him there in the nightly darkness of the chapel, clutching my toy to his chest.



Application:



Today, simply reflect in prayer on the gifts you have received from the Lord. In what way can you share them?



Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 26 - REJOICE WITH ME!



Message of December 25, 2006



Merry Christmas to all.




Our Lady in 1996, Christmas day told us that, these are the days in which the Father grants special graces to all who open their hearts.



I pray that today, God blesses you all abundantly and that Our Lady wraps you all in her mantle of protection. That we all open our hearts to receive those special graces God wants to give us.



Here is our Message for Christmas day from Our Lady.



Message of December 25, 2007



"Dear children! With great joy I bring you the King of Peace for Him to bless you with His blessing. Adore Him and give time to the Creator for whom your heart yearns. Do not forget that you are passers-by on this earth and that things can give you small joys, while through my Son, eternal life is given to you. That is why I am with you, to lead you towards what your heart yearns for. Thank you for having responded to my call."



Jakov Colo Message of December 25, 2006



At the last daily apparition to Jakov Colo on September 12th, 1998, Our Lady told him that henceforth he would have one apparition a year, every December 25th, on Christmas Day.



This is also how it was this year. The apparition began at 2:29 pm and lasted 6 minutes.



Our Lady gave the following message:



"Dear children! Today, in a special way I call you to become open to God and for each of your hearts today to become a place of Jesus' birth. Little children, through all this time that God permits me to be with you, I desire to lead you to the joy of your life. Little children, the only true joy of your life is God. Therefore, dear children, do not seek joy in things of this earth but open your hearts and accept God. Little children, everything passes, only God remains in your heart. Thank you for having responded to my call."



Message of December 25, 2006



"Dear children! Also today I bring you the newborn Jesus in my arms. He who is the King of Heaven and earth, He is your peace. Little children, no one can give you peace as He who is the King of Peace. Therefore, adore Him in your hearts, choose Him and you will have joy in Him. He will bless you with His blessing of peace. Thank you for having responded to my call."



At the last daily apparition to Jakov Colo on September 12th, 1998, Our Lady told him that henceforth he would have one apparition a year, every December 25th, on Christmas Day. This is also how it was this year. The apparition began at 3:23 pm and lasted 6 minutes.



Our Lady gave the following message:



Today is a great day of joy and peace. Rejoice with me. Little children, in a special way, I call you to holiness in your families. I desire, little children, that each of your families be holy and that God's joy and peace, which God sends you today in a special way, may come to rule and dwell in your families. Little children, open your hearts today on this day of grace, decide for God and put Him in the first place in your family. I am your Mother. I love you and give you my Motherly Blessing.



Message of December 25, 2003



"Dear children! Also today, I bless you all with my Son Jesus in my arms and I carry Him, who is the King of Peace, to you, that He grant you His peace. I am with you and I love you all, little children. Thank you for having responded to my call."



"When we worship you in the form of bread . . . we always see you as an adult. But every year at Christmas, you reveal yourself to us as a child born in a crib. We stand in silent amazement . . . In silent adoration we stand before the mystery, like Mary when the shepherd came and told her what they had seen and heard: `She kept all these things, pondering them in her heart'" (Chiara Lubich).



"The swaddling clothes of an infant hid the Son of God in Bethlehem, and the appearance of bread and wine hides the Reality of Christ" (Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen).



Mother Teresa -
When life is most demanding and you give cheerfully in spite of that, that is love at its best.



Meditations by Padre Pio -
From the time of His birth Jesus points out our mission, which is to despise what the world loves and seeks.




Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
When we shirk responsibility we cannot shed our shackles



"People talk most about their health when they are sick, and most about liberty when they are in danger of losing it. Despite all the pleas for liberty, it must be remembered that every flight from responsibility is a flight from liberty and every denial of personal guilt is also a denial of freedom. Cabbages cannot do wrong, though they have heads; calculators cannot commit sin, though they can do many things which seem to emulate human thought."



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




Thank you, Eternal Love, for Your inconceivable kindness to me, that You would occupy Yourself directly with my sanctification. My daughter, let three virtues adorn you in a particular way: humility, purity of intention, and love. Do nothing beyond what I demand of you, and accept everything that My hand gives you. Strive for a life of recollection so that you can hear My voice, which is so soft that only recollected souls can hear it... (1779)



O my Jesus, You know that there are times when I have neither lofty thoughts nor a soaring spirit. I bear with myself patiently and admit that that is just what I am, because all that is beautiful is a grace from God. And so I humble myself profoundly and cry out for Your help; and the grace of visitation is not slow in coming to the humble heart. (1734)

Dec 26 - REJOICE WITH ME!



On Christmas in 1988, the Blessed Mother asked us to rejoice with her:



Dear children, I am calling you to peace. Live peace in your heart and in your surroundings, so that all may recognize the peace, which does not come from you, but from God. Little children, today is a great day. Rejoice with me! Celebrate the birth of Jesus with my peace, the peace with which I came as your Mother, Queen of Peace. Today I am giving you my special blessing. Carry it to every creature so that each one may have peace. (Monthly Message Dec 25, 1988)



And from Luke's gospel, the birth of the Messiah:



While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn (Lk 1:6-7).



I see Mary with the newborn son in her arms. A little baby, flushed, bustling with his little hands and kicking with his small feet: and crying with a thin trembling voice just like a newborn lamb.



And he moves his small head that is so blond that it seems without any hair, a little round head that his mother holds in the hollow of her hand, while she looks at her baby and adores him weeping and smiling at the same time, and she bends down to kiss him not on his head, but on the center of his chest, where underneath there is his small heart beating for us…where one day there will be the Wound…



"Come, let us offer Jesus to the Father", says Mary. And she lifts her baby in her arms and says: "Here I am. On his behalf, O God, I speak these words to you: Here I am to do your will. And I, Mary, and my spouse, Joseph, with him. Here are your servants, O Lord. May your will always be done by us, in every hour, in every event, for your glory and your love".



Application:



Today, let us simply live the Gospa's message: "Rejoice with me! Celebrate the
birth of Jesus with my peace…"



Medjugorje Day By Day Dec 25 - CHRISTMAS DAY




Please keep us in your prayers and sufferings



"We can actually come and adore Him like the shepherds; we can prostrate ourselves before Him like the Magi; we need no longer regret our not having been present at Bethlehem" (St. Peter Julian Eymard).



"This is the great reality of Christian history: Jesus, the sacred host, the Bread of life, in the midst of his Church. This is that brightest star which enables us to look forward with great confidence to the future kingdom of Christ. And as we bless and adore Jesus in the most holy Eucharist we wish to raise our hearts in trustful prayer to Mary, his sweet Mother, and our Mother too.



"So let us turn to her as our own dear Mother. It is she who bore and presented to the world Jesus, our Redeemer and Saviour . . . . We worship Jesus in the holy Eucharist: God with us! God with us!" (Pope Bl. John XXIII).



December 25, 1986 (Christmas Day)



"Dear children! Today also I give thanks to the Lord for all that He is doing for me, especially for this gift that I am able to be with you also today. Dear children, these are the days in which the Father grants special graces to all who open their hearts.



I bless you and I desire that you too, dear children, become alive to the graces and place everything at God's disposal so that He may be glorified through you. My heart carefully follows your progress. Thank you for having responded to my call."



"Is not the enraptured gaze of Mary as she contemplated the face of the newborn Christ and cradled Him in her arms that unparalleled model of love which should inspire us every time we receive Eucharistic communion?" (Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 54).
