"Come home"
Saturday, August 30, 2008
Dear Friends,
"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid's lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him.
He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted the lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped Israel his servant, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever." Luke 1: 46 - 55
Here is a message of Our Blessed Mother addressed to Joseph. Our Lady spoke to him in these words, "It was My great joy to be chosen the Mother of Jesus, the Savior of the world. Indeed the Mighty One has done great things for Me and I am forever grateful.
When the angel came to announce to Me that I would be the Mother of the Savior, I gave My complete 'yes' as the handmaid of the Lord. I knew that great things were to happen in the world. God was intervening in the world to bring the people out of darkness into His marvelous light and to open heaven for all those who will follow the Savior.
Many people in the world have come to believe in their Lord and Savior and more and more people are entering the Church founded by Him. They love Jesus, their Lord and My Son, and they want to follow Him every day. However, there are still many who do not believe or who have rejected Him.
I come to call all the people of the world to believe in Jesus, the Son of God, before it is too late. I will not stop My work until all My children have reached heaven. You are My dear children if you believe in Jesus with all your heart.
I ask you all to consecrate yourselves to Me and I will bring you all to Jesus. Prayer is very important for you believers so never forget to pray every day.
If I were living on earth today, I would be an active member of the Catholic Church, the Church founded by the Lord Jesus and My precious Son. My Church teaches the whole truth and She receives an abundance of all the graces, which I shower upon all Her members. Come home to your Savior and Mother in the Catholic Church."

"I want you close to Me"
Friday, August 29, 2008
Dear Friends,
Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all those engaged in selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. And he said to them, It is written: My house shall be a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of thieves. Matthew 21: 12 13
Here is a message Our Lord and Saviour gave to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him saying, The temple in Jerusalem was the most holy building in all of Israel. The Holy of Holies was part of the temple and no one could enter this sacred place except those designated.
But in My time, the people would bring all kinds of things to sell including animals within the temple. This was a desecration of the Holy Place. I simply took a rope and drove all these people with their money and things out of the temple. This building was a house of prayer and they had made it a den of thieves.
Every Catholic Church where I live in the tabernacle is a holy place. I am truly present in the Eucharist and I want every church to be used for prayer and there should be silence so everybody can be in an atmosphere of prayer. However, today there is too much noise in the churches.
People carry on a conversation in the church and this talking distracts those who wish to pray. If they wish to talk, they should go outside. People should be dressed appropriately in church and this is a sign of their respect for Me. It is a fact that I called every Christian to church especially to pray and to take part in the solemn ceremony of the Eucharist. All are to gather together to offer the Father adoration and worship. He is your God who gives you all you need every day.
If I were on earth these days, I would take a rope and chase away many people because of their lack of respect. I would teach them how to genuflect properly in greeting Me as they enter the church.
I would ask them to stop talking aloud in church and to kneel in prayer. The proper position before God is kneeling and not standing. Follow these rules and you will bring joy to My heart. I want you close to Me.
Father Melvin
Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 29 - PRAY FOR THE YOUNG
"In the mystery of the Redemption, that is to say in Jesus Christ's saving
work, the Church not only shares in the Gospel of her Master through fidelity
to the word and service of truth, but she also shares, through a submission
filled with hope and love, in the power of His redeeming action
expressed and enshrined by Him in a sacramental form, especially in the
Eucharist. (154)
The Eucharist is the center and summit of the whole of
sacramental life, through which each Christian receives the saving power of
the Redemption, beginning with the mystery of Baptism, in which we are buried
into the death of Christ, in order to become sharers in His resurrection,
(155) as the Apostle teaches." (This begins a series of excerpts from Our
Holy Father, Pope John Paul II's encyclical Redemptor Hominis, The Redeemer of Man)
Mother Teresa -
I want you to fill your heart with great love. Don't imagine that love, to be true and burning, must be extraordinary.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
The gates of heaven are open for all creatures. Remember Mary Magdalene!
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
There's no happiness in the realm of the ego
"The modern tendency is toward the affirmation of the ego, the exaltation of selfishness, riding roughshod over others in order to satisfy our own self-centeredness. It certainly has not produced much happiness, for the more the ego asserts itself the more miserable it becomes."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian. org/directory_ flash.html -
I receive Holy Communion in the manner of the Angels, so to speak. My soul is filled with God's light and nourishes itself from Him. My feelings are as if dead. This is a purely spiritual union with God; it is a great predominance of spirit over nature. (1278)
The Lord gave me knowledge of the graces which He has been constantly lavishing on me. This light pierced me through and through, and I came to understand the inconceivable favors that God has been bestowing on me. I stayed in my cell for a long act of thanksgiving, lying face down on the ground and shedding tears of gratitude.
I could not rise from the ground because, whenever I tried to do so, God's light gave me new knowledge of His grace. It was only at the third attempt that I was able to get up. As His child, I felt that everything the heavenly Father possessed was equally mine. He himself lifted me from the ground up to His Heart. I felt that everything that existed was exclusively mine, but I had no desire for it all, because God alone is enough for me. (1279)
Today, I have come to understand many of God's mysteries. I have come to know that Holy Communion remains in me until the next Holy Communion. A vivid and clearly felt presence of God continues in my soul.
The awareness of this plunges me into deep recollection, without the slightest effort on my part. My heart is a living tabernacle in which the living Host is reserved. I have never sought God in some far-off place, but within myself. It is in the depths of my own being that I commune with my God. (1302)

Quote of the Day -
Herodias harbored a grudge against him and wanted to kill him but was unable to do so. Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man, and kept him in custody. When he heard him speak he was very much perplexed, yet he liked to listen to him. She had an opportunity one day when Herod, on his birthday, gave a banquet for his courtiers, his military officers and the leading men of Galilee.
Herodias's own daughter came in and performed a dance that delighted Herod and his guests. The king said to the girl, "Ask of me whatever you wish and I will grant it to you." She went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" She replied, "The head of John the Baptist." The Girl hurried back to the king's presence and made her request, "I want you to give me at once on a platter the head of John the Baptist." The king was deeply distressed, but because of his oaths and the guests he did not wish to break his word to her.
So he promptly dispatched an executioner with orders to bring back his head. He went off and beheaded him in the prison. He brought in the head on a platter and gave it to the girl. The girl in turn gave it to her mother. When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb. -Mk 6:19-29
Today's Tidbit - At the beginning of the school year, it is customary in many places to celebrate a Mass of the Holy Spirit to invoke the Lord's blessing on the coming academic year. It is also customary for a similar Mass to be celebrated for the reopening of legislative bodies and courts of law.
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
AUGUST 29 - PRAY FOR THE YOUNG
Our Lady speaks of young people today:
My dear children, your prayers have helped me to
fulfill my plans. Praised be Jesus, my dear children! Dear children, tonight I especially ask you to pray for the young. I would like to recommend to my priests that they organize groups where young people can be taught and given good advice for their lives.
To all of you who are here tonight, I ask that you be the messengers of peace to others, especially to young people. You Mother is praying for you tonight (Visionary Prayer Group August 22, 1988).
Paul's words to the people of Thessalonica can be applied to young people:
As you know, we dealt with each one of you like a father with his children, urging and encouraging you and pleading that you lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory ( 1 Thes 2:11-12).
Reflection:
Some time ago a quick thinking ten-year who boy saved the life of a nine-year-old girl who had fallen through the ice on a river near Toledo, Ohio. Spotting Janet Rospert struggling in the cold waters of the ice-crusted river, young Richard Dicken wasted no time in putting his axe to the best use he ever made of it.
He quickly climbed a nearly tree and chopped off a sturdy branch. Then, hurrying to the shore, he reached out with the branch to Janet, who was precariously hanging onto a thin piece of ice. In a matter of moments he had pulled her to safety.
In these days much is said and written abut the short comings of young people. But there are countless instances like this that reflect the unselfishness and courage that god has instilled in his youth. For our part, the Blessed Mother asks us to be"the messengers of peace to others, to young people especially."
Application:
Today simply put into practice the Gospa's message: "Pray especially for the young."
Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 31 - WHAT TO SAY IN PRAYER
"At the time of Holy Communion I sometimes picture my soul under the figure
of a little child of three or four years, who at play has got its hair tossed
and its clothes soiled. These misfortunes have befallen me in battling with
souls. But very soon the Blessed Virgin hastens to my aid: quickly, she takes
off my dirty little pinafore, smoothes my hair and adorns it with a pretty
ribbon or simply with a little flower... and this suffices to render me
pleasing and enables me to sit at the Banquet of Angels without blushing."
(St. Therese)
Mother Teresa -
Love is a fruit, in season at all times and within the reach of every hand. Anyone may gather it and no limit is set.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Always stay close to the Catholic Church, because it alone can give you true peace, because it alone possesses Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, who is the true Prince of Peace.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
There is only one standard which we can judge
"Proud people think themselves to be better than they are, and when criticized always believe their neighbor is jealous or has a grudge against them. The humble know themselves as they really are, for they judge themselves as they judge time, by a standard outside themselves, namely, God and His Moral Law."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
When I had gone to the chapel for a moment, the Lord gave me to know that, among His chosen ones, there are some who are especially chosen, and whom He calls to a higher form of holiness, to exceptional union with Him. These are seraphic souls, from whom God demands greater love than He does from others.
Although all live in the same convent, yet He sometimes demands of a particular soul a greater degree of love. Such a soul understands this call, because God makes this known to it interiorly, but the soul may either follow this call or not. It depends on the soul itself whether it is faithful to these touches of the Holy Spirit, or whether it resists them. I have learned that there is a place in purgatory where souls will pay their debt to God for such transgressions; this kind of torment is the most difficult of all.
The soul which is specially marked by God will be distinguished everywhere, whether in heaven or in purgatory or in hell. In heaven, it will be distinguished from other souls by greater glory and radiance and deeper knowledge of God.
In purgatory, by greater pain, because it knows God more profoundly and desires Him more vehemently. In hell, it will suffer more profoundly than other souls, because it knows more fully Whom it has lost. This indelible mark of God's exclusive love, in the [soul], will not be obliterated. (1556)
At that moment, the light of God penetrated my being, and I felt that I was God's exclusive property; and I experienced the greatest spiritual freedom, of which I had had no previous idea.
And at the same time, I saw the glory of the Divine Mercy and an infinite multitude of souls who were praising His goodness. My soul was completely drowned in God, and I heard the words, You are My well-beloved daughter. The vivid presence of God continued throughout the whole day. (1681)

Quote of the Day - We should consider those moments spent before the Blessed Sacrament as the happiest of our lives. -St. John Vianney
Today's Tidbit - Amen is a Hebrew word meaning truly, it is true. In the Gospels, Christ used the word to ad a not of authority to his statements. In other New Testament writings, as in Hebrew usage, it was the concluding word to doxologies. As the concluding word of prayers, it expresses assent to and acceptance of God's will.
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
AUGUST 31 - WHAT TO SAY IN PRAYER
To Jelena, concerning prayer, Our Lady said:
I know that I speak to you very often about prayer, but know that there are many people in the world who do not pray, who do not even know what to say in prayer (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana January 15, 1984.).
And in Psalm 81, the Lord himself speaks in answer to a prayer:
I relieved your shoulder of the burden;
Your hands were greed from the basket.
In distress you called, and I rescued you.
Psalm 81:6-7
Reflection:
In a conversation with Marija Pavlovic on February 2, 1992, as we were discussing this book, she asked that I especially emphasize Our Lady's call to prayer.
It is the most important thing. There is nothing the Gospa wants more. She calls everyone to three hours of prayer, which is only 1/8 of our day, She asks for prayer in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. Her favorite prayer, of course , is the rosary, and the greatest of all prayer is holy Mass.
Marija has been invited to many Medjugorje conferences in America and elsewhere, but they pose a problem for her:"They should follow the idea of a retreat rather than a convention. Our Lady calls us to actually pray and live her messages, but sometimes we get caught up in just talking about them."
It is significant that when Marija travels abroad with Fr. Slavko to give presentations on Medjugorje, the format they use is that of a retreat. Marija speaks only briefly and then leads the participants in the rosary. Such a conference retreat would still bring together Medjugorje's friends in camaraderie and support and support, with the emphasis on prayer and spiritual growth.
Application:
Today, reflect on the priority and time you give to prayer. Can you expand your private prayer a bit at a time? This was the approach Our Lady used with the seers and villagers of Medjugorje
Medjugorje Day By Day Aug 30 - DEEDS OF LOVE AND MERCY
"In the light of this teaching, we see still more clearly the reason why the entire sacramental life of the Church and of each Christian reaches its summit and fullness in the Eucharist. For by Christ's will there is in this sacrament a continual renewing of the mystery of the sacrifice of Himself
that Christ offered to the Father on the altar of the cross, a sacrifice that the Father accepted, giving, in return for this total self-giving by His Son, who 'became obedient unto death,' (156)
His own paternal gift, that is to say the grant of new immortal life in the resurrection, since the Father is the first source and the giver of life from the beginning. That new life, which involves the bodily glorification of the crucified Christ, became an efficacious sign of the new gift granted to humanity, the gift that is the Holy Spirit, through whom the divine life that the Father has in Himself and gives to His Son (157) is communicated to all men who are united with Christ."
(This continues a series of excerpts from Our Holy Father, Pope John
Paul II's encyclical Redemptor Hominis, The Redeemer of Man)
Mother Teresa -
No; what we need in our love is the continuous desire to love the One we love.
Meditations by Padre Pio - When we do the will of others, we must realize we are doing God's will, which is manifested for us in the will of our Superiors and neighbors.
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."
Aug 30 http://www.catholic-forum.com/e-pistle.html
Quote of the Day - In what concerns the promotion of justice and especially the defense of fundamental human rights, the Church's apostolate cannot be improvised. As a body organized within the community and the nation, the Church has both the right and the duty to participate fully in building a just and peaceful society with all means at her disposal. -Pope John Paul II Ecclesia in Africa
Today's Tidbit - Many biographies of the saints who lived during the Middle Ages, including St. Fiacre, mention that the person was raised in a monastery. This happened for a variety of reasons. Many times wealthy families would send a child to a convent or monastery to ensure an education appropriate to their social class. Poorer families would often send a child to a monastery to assist the family by reducing their economic dependence.
Religious life was often encouraged as an alternative for children who could not expect much of an inheritance later in life. These are only a few of the reasons for why a child might be sent to a monetary and unfortunately these reasons to not highlight deep religious devotion or the presence of a vocation for entering a monastery despite the fact that these two things brought many women and men to religious life in the Middle Ages.
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Unity with the merciful Christ. Because I am united to Jesus, I must be faithful always and everywhere, and I must be interiorly united with the Lord, while exteriorly observing fidelity to the rule, particularly that of silence. (1352)
At that moment, the Lord gave me to know how jealous He is of my heart.
Even among the sisters you will feel lonely. Know then that I want you to unite yourself more closely to Me. I am concerned about every beat of your heart. Every stirring of your love is reflected in My Heart. I thirst for your love. "Yes, O Jesus, but my heart would not be able to live without You, either; for even if the hearts of all creatures were offered to me, they would not satisfy the depths of my heart." (1542)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
AUGUST 30 - DEEDS OF LOVE AND MERCY
In her monthly message for March, 1987, the Virgin said:
Dear children, today I thank you for your presence
here where I am giving you special graces. I call each of you to begin to live, starting today, the life which God desires of you, and to begin doing good deeds of love and mercy. But, dear children, I so not want you to live this message and, at the same time, sadden me by committing sin.
Dear children, I also want each of you to begin living a new life, being careful not to ruin all that God has done in you and has given to you. As I give you my special blessing, know that I am constantly with you on your road to conversion (Monthly Message March 25, 1987).
At the Last Supper, Jesus also spoke of love and service:
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:
Loving service to others was a major theme of Christ's ministry on earth, and a repeated message at Medjugorje as well. The example of love has drawn countless numbers to the faith overt the ages. One famous example:
When Sir Henry Stanley went out to Africa in 1871 and found the missionary Dr. Livingstone, he spent months in his company. Livingstone never spoke to Stanley about spiritual things. Throughout those months, Stanley watched the old man. Livingstone's habits were beyond his comprehension, and so was his patience. He could not understand Livingstone's sympathy for the Africans.
For the sake of Christ and his gospel, the missionary doctor was patient, untiring, and eager. Stanley wrote, "When I saw that unwearied patience, that unflagging zeal, those enlightened sons of Africa, I became a Christian at his side, though he never spoke to me about it."
Application:
Call to mind someone who has inspired you by their example of faith. Has your own faith had an effect on others?

MESSAGE FROM JESUS CHRIST ALL CHRISTIANS MUST FOLLOW THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, THE
LAW OF GOD AUGUST 28, 2008 AT 12:14 A.M.
Anna Marie: My Lord, may I ask are you Father, Son or Holy Spirit.
Jesus: My dear one, it is I your Savior Jesus.
Anna Marie: Yes my Jesus may I ask please, will you bow down and adore God your
Eternal and Holy Father who is the Alpha and Omega the creator of all life, of
all that is seen and unseen?
Jesus: Yes dear one, I your heavenly Savior Jesus will now and always bow down
and adore my Holy Eternal and Merciful Father who is the Alpha and Omega, the
Creator of all life of all that is seen and unseen.
Anna Marie: Thank you Jesus. Yes my Lord, please speak for your sinful servant
is listening.
Jesus: Little one.
Anna Marie: Yes my Lord.
Jesus: I have a message for my children.
Anna Marie: Yes my Lord.
Jesus: Please tell my beloved ones that I their Savior see the terrible pains
and sufferings they are now enduring.
It is caused by great sins, great offenses of the human race upon others; but my
children are not suffering for their sins, but for the sins of others.
It is
true that the occult is on the rise, no other time in history has the practice
of idolatry been so great. The occult is now being practiced by the youngest of
children because parents have failed their moral obligations and have given
their children the tools to be robbed of eternal life with me and my Mother in
heaven.
For this, new sorrows, new disasters, new trials upon trials will
befall humankind.
My Father is allowing these trials of great magnitude to take place so that many
will turn back from their sinful ways. It must be so.
Jesus: Tell my beloved ones, I their Savior Jesus will stand beside them as
these trials and great sorrows, calamities take place. They are to know that
their reward will not come from human hands, but heavenly ones, once they are
united in heaven with me. Tell my children, they should store up food, blankets
and water as winter season approaches. Many will suffer much during this cold
period.
Jesus: Please also know that calling yourself a Christian and behaving as a
Christian are two distinctive matters that may not match. To call yourself a
Christian, you should gravitate to holiness, not self gratification.
You should hold fast the Laws of God set down in the Ten Commandments, not twist
the Ten Commandments to meet your own self-satisfaction and popularity.
If you
govern, you should govern with prudence and prayer.
If you lead, you should lead with humility and prayer. If you teach, you should
teach with wisdom and prayer.
Love one another, as I have loved you. Give to others who need more because I
have given you more and will judge each individual on how the gifts you received
by my Father in heaven were used to bless and help others who crossed your path
in life.
Jesus: My children, seek me in all you do. Seek my will in all you do. Seek my
love and consolation when you are struggling or when you can?t find peace in
your life.
I will give you the greatest peace. I will pour my grace upon you
and lift you up when your path in life is on a downward slope. I am your Savior
and I will save you. Trust in me, all you who are weary for I am the way. My
teachings are truth and I am your hope.
Jesus: My little ones, you must be concerned over your own nations. You must
pray for your national, state and local government officials. Consecrate them
to me through my Holy Mother’ sacramental, the Green Scapular. By doing so,
you can change the path that your nations are taking,
Away from their God.
Give to me your enemies, give to me your families, give to me yourselves. I
will lead each soul into eternal life, according to my Father?s will. Do not
judge if a soul is worthy to be consecrated to me, but consecrate the most
desperate souls you can find.
By doing so, you will help prevent that life from
destroying others and depriving hell of a servant. Children, my gifts to you
are great and they are simple. Pray the Rosary, attend sacramental Mass,
consecrate souls to me and pray for your world.
Jesus: I ask all my little ones to not view any movies that are in the cinemas
or on your televisions which blaspheme your God or my holy and heavenly Mother.
A new movie will soon come out in your cinemas and my Father is not pleased. He
has warned that anyone who attends this movie will face an unspeakable
punishment.
This movie portrays your Savior in an unspeakable manner. For this, I give you
a warning to not be party to.
Jesus: I love you my beloved friends and servants. I am your Jesus and I will
remain with you always. Your Savior Jesus.
Anna Marie: Thank you my Lord, thank you for speaking this day. Praise you
Jesus!

DAILY OFFERING PRAYER - O Jesus, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, and the reunion of all Christians.

Meditations by Padre Pio - Padre Pio's Prayer After Holy Communion
Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength,
that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life and without You I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light and without You I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much and always be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, as poor as my soul is I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of Love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close and life passes, death, judgment and eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile!
Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its dangers, I need You. Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.
Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by Communion, at least by grace and love.
Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more. With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity. Amen.
