FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"Live in union with Me"
Tuesday, September 09, 2008
Dear Friends,
"Great crowds were traveling with Jesus, and he turned and addressed them, 'If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.'" Luke 14: 25 - 27
There was no procession because of the wet weather. In the evening Father Nicholas left to go and sleep at my cousin's who will take him to the airport early this morning. He has to be at the airport in Charlottetown for 5:30 a.m. He stayed with me for two months. He is a fine priest who has great love for Jesus and for Our Blessed Mother. I will celebrate Holy Mass this evening at 7:00 p.m.
I will now give you the message Our Lord addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, "I often spoke to the people about the conditions of discipleship. The first condition for you to be My disciple is to place Me first in your life. You cannot place your parents, your children, your brothers or sisters or your own life before Me.
To express in a very forceful way what I wanted to teach them, I used the word 'hate.' In fact what is meant by that word is that you have to prefer Me above everybody else. No one else is to be placed higher in your life than Me. The second condition I stressed was that if you want to be My disciple, you must carry your own cross and follow Me. If you truly follow Me, I will help you every day in carrying your cross.
I want you to always keep your eyes on Me for I am all-powerful to help you. This power I give you is called grace and it is necessary for you if you want to advance but you need faith to be able to receive it. You also need to be humble and come and ask Me for this precious gift. I am ready to give it to all those who ask for it.
If you have rejected Me, you will be unable to face the trials and difficulties in life. You will be very easily discouraged and you will think that suicide is the only way out of your misery. You will also feel empty not knowing why you are on earth and there will be no meaning to your life.
With My grace, you will have the strength to go through any kind of trial or suffering and still there will be peace in your heart. I am your friend who is calling you every day to come to Me. You are weak but I am strong and with My help you too will be strong. Do not follow the foolishness of the world, which leads nowhere, but live in union with Me."
Father Melvin
Medjugorje Day By Day Sept 10 - LET PRAYER BE LIFE FOR YOU
"I thirst for Heaven and for the Eucharist. I thirst for love. I thirst for
you who are the Life of my life.
I thirst for you who are as an Ocean of
hope to me, a river to bring me infinite graces, the profound source of the
science of the Cross, and the spring of every consolation and the fountain of all
that is pure" Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God).
Mother Teresa wrote in her own hand to Denis Nolan April 8 1992
"We are all praying one Hail Mary before Holy Mass to Our Lady of Medjugorje."
Medjugorje and the Church, Sr Emmanuel & Denis Nolan p 18
Sept 10 Quote of the Day - When the Holy Rosary is said well, it gives Jesus and Mary more glory and is more meritorious than any other prayer. - St. Louis de Montfort
Today's Tidbit - The cardinal virtues the four principal moral virtues. These virtues are prudence, justice, temperance and fortitude.
Mother Teresa -
Jesus has chosen us for Himself; we belong to Him. Let us be so convinced of this belonging that we do not allow anything, however small, to separate us from this belonging from this love.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Love Jesus, love Him a lot, but for this you must love sacrifice more. Love should be bitter.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Why is it we can't rejoice at another's good fortune?
"Of the two kinds of sympathy, it seems easier to show sympathy with people in trouble than to rejoice with happy folk. In Shakespeare's As You Like It, there is a description of two brothers, each in love with his chosen mistress. One succeeds in his courtship, whereupon the other exclaims, `How bitter it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes!'"
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
My physical strength declined, and though I did not speak to anyone about it, nevertheless Mother Superior [Borgia] noticed my pain and remarked that I had changed in appearance and was very pale. She told me to go to bed earlier and to sleep longer, and she had a cup of hot milk brought to me in the evening.
She had a motherly heart, full of care, and tried to help me. But in the case of spiritual sufferings, external things have no influence, and they do not bring much relief. It was from the confessional that I drew my strength and the consolation of knowing that it would not be long before I could begin to act. (615)
On Thursday, when I went to my cell, I saw over me the Sacred Host in great brightness. Then I heard a voice that seemed to be coming from above the Host: In the Host is your power; it will defend you. After these words, the vision disappeared, but a strange power entered my soul, and a strange light as to what our love for God consists in; namely, in doing His will. (616)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
SEPT 10 - LET PRAYER BE LIFE FOR YOU
In this monthly message, Our Lady encourages us to pray:
Dear children, today I wish to call all of you to prayer. Let prayer be life for you. Dear children, devote your time to Jesus and he will give you everything that you are seeking. He will reveal himself to you fully.
Dear Children, Satan is strong and he watches each of you in order to tempt you. Pray, and then he will neither to able to injure you nor block you on the way to holiness. Dear children, grow closer to God day by day through prayer (Monthly Message SEPT 25, 1987).
And in Psalm 61, a prayer for refuge:
Hear my cry, O God; Listen to my prayer. From the end of the earth I call to you, When my heart is faint.
Psalm 61:1
Reflection:
The church has a great treasure of prayer, the subject of our reading today. One little known prayer is the Crown of Twelve Stars of the Blessed Virgin, sometimes called The Little Crown of Mary, referring to the image of Mary in Revelation, the woman clothed with the sun and crowned with twelve stars. It was a favorite prayer of St. Louis de Montfort, the tireless supporter of Marian devotion. It is presented here in three parts, over the next three days:
1. The Crown of Excellence: To honor the divine motherhood of the Blessed Virgin , her ineffable virginity, eternal purity, and perfection in virtue. First star: Our Father….Hail Mary…. Blessed are you, Queen of Peace who bore the Lord, the Creator of the world; you gave birth to him who made you and yet remain a virgin forever. Rejoice, O Virgin Mary, rejoice with us a thousand times!
Second star: Hail Mary…. O holy and immaculate Virgin, I know not with What praise to extol thee, since you bore in your Womb the One whom even the heavens cannot Contain. Rejoice, O Virgin Mary, rejoice with us a thousand times!
Third star: Hail Mary…. You are beautiful, O Mother of God, with no stain upon you. Rejoice, O Virgin Mary, rejoice with us a thousand times!
Fourth star: Hail Mary…. Your virtues, O Queen of Heaven, surpass the number of stars in the sky. Rejoice, O Virgin Mary, rejoice with us a thousand times! Glory be….
Application:
Offer this prayer during your quiet time today.
Medjugorje Day By Day Sept 09 - SURRENDER ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
"[Jesus] the same Redeemer is present in the sacrament of the Eucharist. In
the stable at Bethlehem He allowed himself to be worshipped under the humble outward appearances of a newborn baby, by Mary, by Joseph and by the shepherds; in the consecrated Host we adore Him sacramentally present in his body, blood, soul and godhead"
(Pope John Paul II, Message for World Youth Day 1995).
Sept 9 Quote of the Day - We must speak to them with our hands before we speak to them with our lips. -St. Peter Claver
Today's Tidbit - The sacramentary is a liturgical book that contains the celebrant's part of the Mass and rites for administration of the sacraments. One of the earliest sacramentaries is the leonine Sacramentary, which was printed during the sixth century.
Mother Teresa -
The more room we give God to fill us.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
God loves us, and this is shown by the fact that He tolerates us when we offend Him.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
We cannot have tunnel vision
"In a nation, bad blood arises immediately when others are indifferent to our misfortunes. Nothing so spoils a people as a spirit which makes each say, `I am I and you are you, and that's the end of it.' Rather, as the poet said: `We, are we not formed as notes of music are for one another though dissimilar?' "
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
God embraces with His incomprehensible love the soul who lives by His will. I understood how much God loves us, how simple He is, though incomprehensible, and how easy it is to commune with Him, despite His great majesty.
With no one do I feel as free and as much at ease as with Him. Even a mother and her truly loving child do not understand each other so well as God and I do.
When I was in that state of communion with God, I saw two particular persons, and their sad interior condition was revealed to me. They were in a sorrowful state, but I trust that they, too, will glorify the mercy of God. (603)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
SEPT 9 - SURRENDER ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
The Virgin speaks of surrender and prayer today:
Dear children, today I am calling you to renew your heart. Open yourself to God and surrender to him all your problems and crosses, so that God may transform everything into joy.
Little children, you cannot open yourselves to God if you do not pray. From today, then, decide to consecrate a time and a day solely for an encounter with God in silence. In that way, you will be able, with God's help to witness my presence here. Little children, I do not wish to force you; rather, freely give God your time as the children of God (Monthly Message July 15, 1989).
Psalm 125 also urges us to trust in God:
Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the Lord surrounds his people,
Form this time on and forevermore
Psalm 125:1-2
Reflection:
Our Lady of Medjugorje often speaks of trust, of surrendering ourselves completely to the Lord, as an essential step in our spiritual journey. For members of Alcoholics Anonymous, this surrender is a matter of life and death.
Suffering from an incurable addiction that ruthlessly destroys the body, mind, and soul, the only way to arrest the disease is by spiritual means, for simple willpower is useless. The alcoholic must surrender himself and his disease to God, who has the power to do for him what he cannot.
Thus step three of the 12 steps of AA states: "We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him." From Alcoholics Anonymous:
At the third step, many of us said to our Maker, as we understood him: "God, I offer myself to thee to
build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy
will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help by Thy Power, They Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always!"
With this surrender, a new life opens up for the alcoholic. Our Lady knows that this would also be the case with us, that we too would know a new freedom, peace, and joy in life, if we could but surrender and trust in God.
Application:
Today, abandon yourself to God using the above prayer. From AA
