Our Lady of All Nations to littlest of servants October 12, 2008
My dear, dear children just as the religious of the time when My SON walked the earth thought it was their church, their religion so shall it be today.
. Just as the religious of old put My SON to death thinking that they now had control so today will the religious again put My SON to death thinking now they will have control.
The religious of old crucified My SON. The religious today will re-crucify HIM by claiming that HE is not present in the BLESSED SACRAMENT.
And just as the the religious of old FAILED as My SON'S Crucifixion led to HIS victory over death, over satan. So today the religious will fail as the REMNANT CHURCH will rise victorious to reign in the ERA OF PEACE.

IN WHAT WILL YOU INVEST?
SATAN IS TRYING TO CREATE WORLD-WIDE PANIC
SO MANKIND WOULD RESPOND TO ALL THAT IS SATANIC.
THOUGH THE ECONOMY SEEMS NOW TO BE YOUR PRIMARY GOAL,
YET FOR SATAN IT'S A MEANS OF ENSNARING YOUR SOUL.
EVEN THOSE WHO ARE TRYING THEIR ROSARY TO PRAY,
CONCENTRATE NOW ON THE MARKET AND WHERE IT WILL CLOSE TODAY.
IF YOUR ONLY CONCERN IS WHAT YOU CAN BUY OR SELL,
YOUR MONEY MAY JUST BUY YOU A TICKET TO HELL.
SATAN WILL SOON INTRODUCE HIS OWN CURRENCY;
TO HAVE ACCESS, HE WILL NEED YOUR IDENTITY.
THE MARK IN THE SCRIPTURES THAT HAS BEEN FORETOLD
WILL BE MANDATED FOR EACH ONE BEFORE THEY CAN BUY WHAT IS SOLD.
MILLIONS WILL FLOCK THIS MARK TO OBTAIN
TO BE ABLE THEIR POSSESSIONS, WHICH THEY LOST, TO REGAIN.
THE FEW WHO WILL CHOOSE SATAN'S PLAN TO RESIST
WILL BE PLACED ON SATAN'S "MOST WANTED" LIST.
BUT WHEN THE TIME COMES HIS PLAN TO ENFORCE,
THE ONES WHO WERE FAITHFUL WILL BE BEHIND SAFE, CLOSED DOORS.
THE ANGELS WILL BE THERE WITH THE ONES THEY HAVE BROUGHT
TO KEEP THEM FROM EXPOSURE TO THE ONGOING ONSLAUGHT.
"THY WILL BE DONE"

My Dear Children, today as I , your Mother of the World come to you, I come to speak of Peace in your world. My dear children I beg of you to Pray and Sacrifice much for these smaller countries who are in conflicts and many larger countries are backing them. These small conflicts all over the world may lead to a Third World War. Pray, Pray, PRAY !!!
Today, I also will speak of your end of times as you know them, I have told you of many signs that would be given, I am sure you have seen many of these signs, although many refuse to listen.
Storms, Wars, rumors of wars, your stock market, I warned you that when your Dow got below 10,000 and your Nasdaq below 2,000 and stayed there for a few days, you would know your times is upon you.
Many of you have put too much faith in this, your God. Repent, Repent, Repent!!! Where are your ears as you do not listen, where are your eyes as you do not see that which is upon you.?
My Dear Children, you need to speak to your families, friends and those you do not know, tell them of Gods Love, Mercy and Justice. Tell them of Scripture as it is written in the Bible. Do you think you are better than in Noah's time, or Lots time?
God will not destroy the whole world now, but you will see disaster upon disaster befall you. Soon there will be an era of Peace I have spoken of, if enough prayers are said, but, then the anti-christ will make his stand.
My Son, Jesus will never allow the anti-christ to take over the seat of Peter.
Children, The war has been won for you, but you must face the battles daily. Remember, much can be mitigated.
Pray, Pray, PRAY !!! My Dear Children, when you pray, Pray from your heart, not just your mouths. I see so many of you dry, in prayer, repeating words over and over. You may say the rosary or you may pray the rosary. It is NOT how many or how fast, but how these prayers are done. How would you like God to hear your prayers? I ask you to continue to pray fast and sacrifice.
This is a wonderful time of the year to fast as My Son, Jesus did. To pray and become closer to your Father in Heaven. As you make the way of the cross, My, Son, Jesus' Passion, Remember why He did this for you. Go to Mass, Pray much, confess your sins and cleanse your soul,
My children, you never know when it will be your time. Receive communion often. Pray much for the leaders of all countries to soften their hearts, to learn to love others, not their power and money. I Bless you all with My Motherly Mantle of Love. Go in Peace and Love.

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 14 - DO NOT GIVE UP ON MEDITATION
Ann. Our Lady's Apparition at Fatima & the Miracle of the Sun (1917)-Oct. 13
"Let us listen to Mary Most Holy, in whom the mystery of the Eucharist appears, more than in anyone else, as a mystery of light. Gazing upon Mary, we come to know the transforming power present in the Eucharist" (Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 62).
Our Lady of the Rosary—Oct. 7
"The prayer of the Rosary, or five decades of it, after the Sacred Liturgy of the Eucharist, is what most unites us to God by the richness of the prayers . . . we see that it is indeed a Trinitarian and a Eucharistic prayer, even more than a Marian one. I do not know if we can find prayers more sublime or more appropriate to recite before the Blessed Sacrament" (Sr. Lucia of Fatima).
Mother Teresa -
We stand before the world as ambassadors
of peace by preaching the message of love
in action that crosses all barriers of
nationality, creed, or country.
Padre Pio - Those souls who throw themselves into the whirlpool of worldly occupations are poor and unfortunate. The more they love the world, the more their passions multiply; the more their desires are lit, the more they find themselves incapable of carrying out their projects, and thus they are uneasy, impatient, affected by that shock that breaks their hearts; those hearts which do not beat with charity and holy love. Let us pray for these unfortunate and miserable souls, that Jesus may forgive them and draw them to Himself in His infinite mercy.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Virtue is the key to Truth
"Notice how often today men in public life accuse one another of `lying.' Why is it they never speak of truth? May it not be that they studied in the same school as Pilate and asked `What is Truth?' (John 18: 38) and then turn their backs on it. It takes a heap of virtuous living for any one of us to discover Truth. "
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -Midnight Mass. During Holy Mass, I again saw the little Infant Jesus, extremely beautiful, joyfully stretching out His little arms to me. After Holy Communion, I heard the words: I am always in your heart; not only when you receive Me in Holy Communion, but always. I spent these holy days in great joy. (575)
One time, I was in doubt as to whether what had happened to me had seriously offended the Lord Jesus or not. As I could not solve this doubt, I made up my mind not to go to Communion before first going to confession, although I immediately made an act of contrition, as it is my habit to ask for forgiveness after the slightest transgression.
During those days when I did not receive Holy Communion, I did not feel the presence of God. This caused me unspeakable pain, but I took it as a punishment for sin. However, at the time of Holy Confession I was reproached for not going to Holy Communion, because what had happened to me was not an obstacle to receiving Holy Communion.
After confession, I received Holy Communion, and I saw the Lord Jesus who said to me, Know, My daughter, that you caused Me more sorrow by not uniting yourself with Me in Holy Communion than you did by that small transgression. (612)

Quote of the Day Humility is the key which opens all the treasures of God. -St. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier
Today's Tidbit A martyrology is a work that lists all the canonized saints, their feast days, and a small biography of each saint. Martyrologies may exist for a local district or exist for the general use of the faithful. One of the most exhaustive martyrologies is the Roman Martyrology, which is set up to list all the saints of the Roman Catholic Church, not just one district. Martyrologies began as accounts of the martyrs for the Faith but began to be expanded as the Church began to officially recognize the saintliness of people who did not die through martyrdom.
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
Oct 14 - DO NOT GIVE UP ON MEDITATION
Speaking again of her most crucial message, Our Lady says :
Pray and fast. Do not give up on meditation. At home meditate at least half an hour (Locutionist Jelena & Mirijana January 21, 1984).
And in Colossians, Paul also stresses prayer :
Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving. At the same time pray for us as well that God will open for us a door for the word…(Col 4 :2-3).
Reflections:
Fr. Mark Link tells the story of a young prince who was very handsome except for one thing : he had a crooked back. This birth defect caused him great sorrow and kept him from being the kind of prince that he really wanted to be.
One day the prince's father asked the best sculptor in his kingdom to make a statue of the prince. However, it should portray him with a straight back. The king wanted his son to see himself as he could be. When the sculptor finished the statue, it was truly magnificent. It was so lifelike that you could mistake it for the prince. The king placed the statue in the prince's private garden.
Each day when the prince went to his garden to study, he looked longingly at the statue. Then one day he noticed that when he did this, his heart beat faster and his body tingled. Months passed. Soon the people began to say to one another, » When the prince heard this, his heart beat even faster and his body tingled even more.
Now he began to go to the garden more often. He spent hours standing before the statue, studying it closely and meditating on it. Then one day a remarkable thing happened. The prince found himself standing as straight as the statue.
This story is a kind of parable of each of us. We see Jesus as the perfect image of what we ere born to be. He stands spiritually straight and beautiful. And just as the prince studied and pondered the statue, so we must study and ponder Christ so that we can become his image.
Application:
Today, let us simply take the Madonna's advice and meditate on the life of Christ through scriptural prayer, the rosary, or quiet contemplation.
Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 13 - SING, BE FULL OF JOY!
"The encounter with Christ, constantly intensified and deepened in the Eucharist, issues in the Church and in every Christian an urgent summons to testimony and evangelization" (Pope Benedict XVI, October 9, 2005).
"Where Jesus is . . . there is joy
there is peace
there is love.
And that is why He made Himself the Bread of Life
to be our life of love and joy.
No one else can give what He gives
and He is there all the time"
(Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta).
Mother Teresa -
Our vocation is to belong to Jesus. The easiest way and the simplest way of belonging is this: the Holy Spirit makes us do that giving of self, that total surrender to God, without any reflection, without any counting the cost.
We call that " blind surrender. "
Meditations by Padre Pio - You are searching feverously for the Supreme Good, but in truth, He is within you, keeping you stretched out on the naked cross, breathing strength into you to bear the intolerable torment, and love, that you may painfully love His love. Your fear of having lost Him, then, is altogether futile, for He is quite near and clasps you to Himself. Equally futile is your anxiety for the future, since the present is a crucifixion of love.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
The Golden Quality of Truth
"Grains of truth are like grains of gold that prospectors find; they can be discovered after a long search; they must be sifted from error with great patience; they must be buried with sacrifice to erase the dross and washed in the streams of honesty."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
On Friday during Mass when my soul was flooded with God's happiness, I heard these words in my soul: My mercy has passed into souls through the divine-human Heart of Jesus as a ray from the sun passes through crystal. I felt in my heart and understood that every approach to God is brought about by Jesus, in Him and through Him. (528)
O God, how I desire that souls come to know You and to see that You have created them because of Your unfathomable love. O my Creator and Lord, I feel that I am going to remove the veil of heaven so that earth will not doubt Your goodness.
Make of me, Jesus, a pure and agreeable offering before the Face of Your Father. Jesus, transform me, miserable and sinful as I am, into Your own self (for You can do all things), and give me to Your Eternal Father. I want to become a sacrificial host before You, but an ordinary wafer to people. I want the fragrance of my sacrifice to be known to You alone. O Eternal God, an unquenchable fire of supplication for Your mercy burns within me. I know and understand that this is my task, here and in eternity. You yourself have told me to speak about this great mercy and about Your goodness. (483)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
OCT 13 - SING, BE FULL OF JOY!
The following was given to Jelena, the locutionist :
In difficulties, when you carry the cross, sing, be full of joy! (Locutionist Jelena & Mirjana 1986).
The psalmist also urges us to sing :
O sing to the Lord a new song;
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
Tell of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among all the peoples.
For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
He is to be revered among all gods.
Psalm 96 :1 - 4
Reflection:
Joy and song are two of God's most beautiful gifts to mankind. Needless to say, the greatest joy is found in God himself, as we see from Psalm 96 today.
The following hymn is one of the most ancient in the church. Composed by St. Nicetas, it dates from A.D. Sundays, feasts, and solemnities. Let us offer the TeDeum (You Are God) with joy :
You are God: we praise you;
You are the Lord: we acclaim you;
You are the Eternal Father:
All creation worships you.
To you all angels, all the powers of heaven,
Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise :
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
The glorious company of apostles praise you.
The noble fellowship of prophets praise you.
The white-robed army of martyrs praise you.
Throughout the world the holy church acclaims you :
Father, of majesty unbounded,
Your true and only Son,
worthy of all worship,
And the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.
You, O Christ, are the king of glory,
The eternal Son of the Father.
When you became man to set us free.
You did not spurn the Virgin's womb.
You overcame the sting of death,
And opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
You are seated at God's right hand in glory.
We believe that you will come, and be our judge.
Come then, Lord, and help your people,
Brought with the price of your own blood,
And bring us with your saints to everlasting glory.
Amen.
Application:
Joyful pray the TeDeum on the next several Sundays, as priests and religious do throughout the world.
Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 12 - I LOVE YOU ALL
"All the angels . . . fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped
God" (Rev 7:11).
Mother Teresa -
The whole of our life must come to that one word "yes."
Yes to God: that is holiness.
We allow God to take from us whatever He wants and we accept whatever He gives with joy.
That is yes in action.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Don't tire yourself with things that cause anxieties, perturbation and worries. Only one thing is necessary, to lift up your spirit and love God.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Truth travels along the narrow way
"Truth is a narrow path; either side is an abyss. It is easy to fall either to the right or the left; it was easy to be an idealist in the nineteenth century, as it is easy to be a materialist in the twentieth century; but to avoid both abysses and walk that narrow path of truth is as thrilling as a romance."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
When I entered chapel, I heard these words interiorly: Every time you enter the chapel, immediately recite the prayer which I taught you yesterday. When I had said the prayer, in my soul I heard these words: This prayer will serve to appease My wrath. You will recite it for nine days, on the beads of the rosary, in the following manner: First of all, you will say one OUR FATHER and HAIL MARY and the I BELIEVE IN GOD.
Then on the OUR FATHER beads you will say the following words: "Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world." On the HAIL MARY beads you will say the following words: "For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world."
In conclusion, three times you will recite these words: "Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world." (476)
During Holy Mass I prayed fervently that Jesus might become King of all hearts and that divine grace might shine in every soul. Then I saw Jesus as He is depicted in the Image, and He said to me, My daughter, you give Me the greatest glory by faithfully fulfilling My desires. (500)

Quote of the Day Those whose hearts are pure are the temples of the Holy Spirit. -St. Lucy

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
OCT 12 - I LOVE YOU ALL
In this weekly message during May, the Madonna spoke of love:
Dear children, I have told you already that I have especially chosen you just the way you are. I am your Mother and I love you all. During times that are difficult, do not be afraid, for I love you even when you are far from my Son and me.
Please, do not let my heart weep with tears of blood for the souls that are being lost in sin. Therefore, dear children, pray, pray, pray! (Weekly Message May 24, 1984).
In Romans, Paul speaks of the love that has been poured out into our hearts:
And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God is love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us (Rom 5 :3-5).
Reflection:
One of the shows in the television series "Highway to Heaven" dealt with children with cancer, got the idea to have real-life victims play the parts.
One victim was a boy named Josh Wood. His case was especially tragic because he had already lost a leg to cancer. But what bothered little Josh even more was the fact that he had s speech defect that caused him to stammer badly. People avoided talking to him and the more they did this the more he stammered.
Michael Landon surprised everybody by asking Josh to audition for one of the parts, saying to the boy: " The important thing about acting is to be a good actor. If you stammer, that's all right. You're just a good actor who stammers." To everyone's amazement, when the boy read for the part, his stammer disappeared completely. Josh's cancer is in remission and his stammer has never come back.
Josh Wood is a living example of the tremendous power that loving kindness has, of the great power that is contained in a little assurance, a little affirmation. He is a living example of how kindness can work miracles.
Application:
Today, simply offer this Prayer for Kindness and Love:
Lord Jesus Christ, help us to realize the power of kindness and love. Help us to use this power the way you intended us to use it when you created us. Help us to use it to bring happiness to those around us. Help us to use it to work miracles, healing people in our time, just as you healed them through in your time. Amen.
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!
