Fr Doucette - Sat, Jan 24, 2009: "Follow Me"
FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"Follow Me"
Saturday, January 24, 2009
Dear Friends,
Jesus said, You have heard that it was said, ?You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes the sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:43 48
Here is another message that Our Lord and Savior has addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, I know it is not easy to love your enemies. You would prefer to hate such people because they hurt you. They surely are doing the work of the evil one. When I was on earth many people did not recognize Me as their Messiah or Savior.
They told all kinds of lies against Me and how often I was accused of offending God. Even when I performed a healing, some would say that I did it through the power of the devil. Yet I did not hate them. I loved them and I hoped in the future that they would come to believe in Me and follow Me.
So I tell you, do not hate your enemies but instead love them and pray for them. Pray that they will be converted and come to follow Me. Look, Our Heavenly Father lets the sun shine on everyone even His enemies.
The rain falls on the fields of the good as well as on the bad. You are My followers, so you have to rise above the pagans and those who do not believe in Me. In this way you will be following the perfect way of the Christian.
Yes, many of you have enemies and today many hate you because of your faith in Me. The atheists hate you because you oppose their schemes, such as abortion on demand, euthanasia, stem-cell research, etc. Follow Me, My friends, and you will be blessed.
Father Melvin

2nd Message to J.N.S.R. Jan.15, 2009
For my child J.N.S.R.
Early morning: October 15, 2008
"No one can build without God's permission, for nothing can withstand if I am not in it", says the Lord GOD.
JESUS: To each of you who participated in any way to this Work of GOD, in the distribution of the books "Witnesses of the Cross", and the elevation of the CROSSES OF LOVE, you are, each and all, a witness who must see the completion of this Work, by participating with your individual testimony, in your life, to what GOD is asking from each of His workers.
A work comes to fruition with every one of the participants helped by the Spirit of GOD dwelling in us, who manifests Himself through the choice of the Almighty, in each one who is the most worthy, at the Time of that particular work.
The choice of GOD does not correspond to the wish or even to the perfection of the person. GOD directs His Work and sets His Spirit to work in the Heart of one who usually does not know it, and discovers it only in the obedience of one's own life, in following the footsteps of the Lord, wherever He orders it, and through the acceptance of suffering, not in obedience, but rather through one's own rule, for it is joined to that of the Lord's CROSS.
This is why she became the first "Witness of the CROSS", the name I gave to My Work, and the name that she deserved to have through the same Cross
the CROSS of her Lord and King

Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 24 - ST. FRANCIS DE SALES
Eucharist: the Source of Life!
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by Me."
It is a whimsical fact that a huge number of anti-Catholics spend enormous quantities of energy trying to prove that Catholics "worship Mary." Even in an age of mass communication, this goofy 19th-century Know-Nothing charge is still leveled by people who really ought to know better.
And, of course, as with all such goofy charges (sustainable only by the ability to read minds) the Catholic has a simple reply: "I don't worship Mary." The reply is based on a simple fact: if you cannot read minds, the only way you can know what somebody worships is to ask them. If they say they do not worship Mary then that's that. End of story.
Yet the golden opportunity (tactically speaking) that many such critics of the Faith overlook is this: though Catholics don't worship Mary, we do worship the Eucharist.
We really do hail it as the "source of our life" and adore it exactly as we adore God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Of course, it's still not idolatry for the simple reason that Catholics believe Jesus wasn't kidding when He said "this is My body" and that to worship Jesus is what the Christian faith is all about.
In a thousand different ways, you must reflect the light of Christ through your lives of prayer and joyful service of others.
Mother Teresa -
We need to give Christ a chance to make use of us to be his word and his work. If we do not radiate the light of Christ around us, the sense of darkness that prevails in the world will increase. The people around us should be able to recognize him by our union with God.
Padre Pio - If we want a harvest, planting is not so important as sowing the seeds in a good field. When these become plants, great care must be taken that the tender little plants are not suffocated by weeds.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
The Destruction of Responsibility
"Hardly anyone today challenges the view that character is made by outside or external influences, such as home background, schooling, poverty or wealth, the propaganda to which an individual was subjected and the neighborhood in which he was raised.
This view could lead to the destruction of responsibility if carried to extremes - and responsibility, it must not be forgotten, is the mark of freedom."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
On one occasion, I saw Jesus in a bright garment; this was in the greenhouse. [He said to me,]Write what I say to you. My delight is to be united with you. With great desire, I wait and long for the time when I shall take up My residence sacramentally in your convent. My spirit will rest in that convent and I will bless its neighborhood in a special way.
Out of love for you all, I will avert any punishments which are rightly meted out by My Father's justice. My daughter, I have inclined My heart to your requests. Your assignment and duty here on earth is to beg for mercy for the whole world.
No soul will be justified until it turns with confidence to My mercy, and this is why the first Sunday after Easter is to be the Feast of Mercy. On that day, priests are to tell everyone about My great and unfathomable mercy. I am making you the administrator of My mercy.
Tell the confessor that the Image is to be on view in the church and not within the enclosure in that convent. By means of this Image I shall be granting many graces to souls; so let every soul have access to it. (570)
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 24 - ST. FRANCIS DE SALES
The Blessed Mother speaks of holiness today:
"Dear children, today I again call you to pray with your whole heart and to change your life day by day. I especially ask you, dear children, to live in holiness through your prayer and sacrifices. I desire that each of you who have been to this fountain of grace shall come to paradise one day and present to me a special gift--that of your holiness.
Therefore, dear children, pray and change your life that it may become holy. I will always be close to you. (Weekly Messages November 13,1986)
St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians also deals with holiness:
You were taught to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt and deluded by its lusts, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness (Eph 4:22-24)
Reflection:
St. Francis de Sales exemplified holiness in his life, which was characterized by a supreme trust in God. Born at Savoy in 1567, he worked tirelessly to restore Catholicism to his country after Reformation. Later, as Bishop of Geneva, he became renowned for his compassion to his people and priests. Because of his insightful writings he was later proclaimed a Doctor of the Church.
The following excerpt from his classic work, The Devout Life, deals with trust, that mark of holiness which Our Lady and St. Paul speak of today: In all your affairs, rely wholly on God's providence...Imitate little children, who with one hand hold fast to their father, and with the other hand gather strawberries or blackberries along the hedges.
So too, as you gather and handle the goods of this world with one hand, you must with the other always hold fast the hand of your heavenly Father, turning yourself toward him from time to time to see if your actions or occupations be pleasing to him.
Above all things, take heed that you never leave his hand or think to gather more or to gain some advantage. For should he forsake you, you will not be able to go a step further without falling to the ground.
Application: Today, through the intercession of St. Francis, pray for a deep trust in God that banishes all fear and doubt.
Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 23 - BELIEVE IN HIS CURE
Whenever I go to the chapel, I put myself in the presence of our good Lord, and I say to him, 'Lord, I am here. Tell me what you would have me to do ' . . . . And then, I tell God everything that is in my heart. I tell him about my pains and my joys, and then I listen.
If you listen, God will also speak to you, for with the good Lord, you have to both speak and listen. God always speaks to you when you approach him plainly and simply" (St. Catherine Laboure).
Mother Teresa -
Sacrifice and prayer complement each other. There is no prayer without sacrifice, and there is no sacrifice without prayer. That is what Jesus has shown us. Jesus' life was spent in intimate union with his Father as he passed through this world doing good. We need to do the same.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Let us never oppose the designs of divine providence, which, alternating joys with tears in the life of the individual and of nations, leads them to the achievements of our last end. Let us look beyond the appearances of the hand of man to discover the hidden hand of God.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
We need to help illuminate the world
"We do not make children give up writing because they spill the ink. The world is discouraged enough; it needs encouragement, inspiration, good example, above all, it will be happier when it sees a standard and a Redeemer Who invites us away from the dark side: "I am the Light of the world; whoever follows Me, shall not walk in darkness" (John 8: 12).
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
As God has made us sharers in His mercy and even more than that, dispensers of that mercy, we should therefore have great love for each soul, beginning with the elect and ending with the soul that does not yet know God.
By prayer and mortification, we will make our way to the most uncivilized countries, paving the way for the missionaries. We will bear in mind that a soldier on the front line cannot hold out long without support from the rear forces that do not actually take part in the fighting but provide for all his needs; and that such is the role of prayer, and that therefore each one of us is to be distinguished by an apostolic spirit. (539)
And always and in everything, their intention should be pure, for every sort of mixed motive is displeasing to God. They should accuse themselves of all external transgressions, and ask the superior for a penance. They should do this in a spirit of humility.
They should love one another with a sublime love, with a pure love, seeing God's likeness in every sister. Love should be the special characteristic of this little community, so they must not close up their hearts, but embrace the whole world, rendering mercy to every soul through prayer, according to their calling. If we live in this spirit of mercy, we ourselves will obtain mercy. (550)
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 23 - BELIEVE IN HIS CURE
In the first week of the apparitions, the parents of a deaf and mute child asked the visionaries to intercede on behalf of the boy. The seers asked the Virgin to cure the child so that people would believe them. She responded:
Have them firmly believe in his cure. Go in the peace of God (First Years June 29, 1981).
Little Daniel Setka was cured later that same evening In the gospels, Christ also focused on faith as the foundation of healing:
Then suddenly a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak, for she said to herself, "If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well." Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart daughter; your faith has made you well." And instantly the woman was made well. (Mt 9:20-22).
Reflection:
The power of faith is limitless: it heals, consoles, and strengthens. But the opposite is also true. Once when Jesus was visiting Nazareth, he could work no miracles there because the people's lack of faith distressed him so.
How to deepen our faith? Cardinal Newman once said: "It is love that makes faith, not faith love." And Our Lady gives this answer: "Faith will not know how to be alive without prayer. Therefore, pray!" (October 10, 1981)
The healing of the handicapped child in Medjugorje; the cure of the hemorrhaging woman in Matthew's gospel, were both dependent of faith. May our own healing of body, mind, or spirit also be the fruit of our expectant faith.
Application:
Pray today for a deeper faith; ask for healing if you are in need. Assist someone who is sick through your presence of prayers.
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!
