"Walk with Me"
Thursday, January 29, 2009
Dear Friends,
Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.” Matthew 6:19–21
Our Lord and Redeemer gave a message addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, “Life on earth is short. You do not know how long you will live. Some die young while others live longer but if you live to 70 or 80 years, that goes by very fast. In fact you are on earth only for a visit and to prepare for life everlasting in heaven.
Some act as though they will live on earth forever. They never provide for the next life, which is much more important. They store up huge amount of money and build houses fit for kings. They are only interested in the things of earth and giving expression to their drives and instincts.
They live as though I did not exist. However, they will have a severe awakening but it will be too late. Do not wait till the last moment to make your peace with your Heavenly Father, because you might not be able to do so later on. Now is the time, when you have all your faculties and strength to come and accept Me, Your Savior, and to live as My friend. You will store up treasures in heaven, where you will be welcome one day.
If your treasures are in heaven, your heart will be there too. So be reconciled with your Heavenly Father and amend your life. You will live a life of virtue pleasing to Him and He will bless you with the graces you need. You will be a person of prayer who will have a personal relationship with Me. You will love to go to Holy Mass and to receive Me in Holy Communion.
I will absolve you of all your sins when you come to confession. Do not be bound to the things of earth but free yourself from all attachments and place your heart in heaven. You will live in peace with Me and your love for Me will grow every day. Walk with Me and you will grow in holiness.”

Fr Doucette - Wed, Jan 28, 2009: "Take My words to heart and begin fasting"
FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"Take My words to heart and begin fasting"
Wednesday, January 28, 2009
Dear Friends,
Jesus said, When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not appear to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you. Matthew 6:16 18
Here is another message from Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, All My followers are called to fast. Fasting is important in your life because it helps you have mastery over your drives and instincts. So many people today are ruled by their bodies, their instincts, their addictions and their drives. If you can say no to your body when it cries for food, then you will be able to say no when your body pushes you to do something that is sinful.
When My Blessed Mother appears somewhere, She often calls on the people to fast on bread and water. She wants every one to fast twice a week. In this time of overeating and of putting on much weight, all should fast in order to break the cycle and in the end you will feel much better.
The spiritual advantages of fasting are even greater than the psychological benefits. Those who fast become less materialistic and more spiritual. It is easier for one who fasts to pray and to contemplate every day. Your mind is not so taken by the things of this world and your hang-ups and addictions will not play such a great role in your life.
My dear friends, take My words to heart and begin fasting. I will be with you to help you with My grace, to liberate you from your prison and bring you to the light of day. Apply yourself and there will be more peace and joy in your heart. My heavenly Father will reward you if you fast regularly. I love you.

Fr Doucette - Tue, Jan 27, 2009: "Pray as a child of God"
FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"Pray as a child of God"
Tuesday, January 27, 2009
Dear Friends,
Jesus gave us the Lord's Prayer in these words,
This is how you are to pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be your name,
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done,
On earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread,
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors,
And do not subject us to the final test
But deliver us from the evil one.
If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions. Matthew 6:9 15
Here is another message by Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words, Prayer is very important for all those who believe in Me and follow Me. I gave the Apostles a special prayer addressed to Our Father and all should pray this prayer often during the day.
This prayer has all the major points of a prayer. The first part is in honor of the Father who lives in heaven and He is the Creator of everything that is. All are to praise and adore Him for He is God. He wants His Kingdom to grow every day.
You are all called to enter this Kingdom so that you may reach heaven one day. The Kingdom begins here on earth and it will be perfected in heaven. Every human being is to follow the will of the Father. If you follow His will, you will be on the right road to everlasting life.
The second part of the prayer refers to your needs here in the world and to implore the Father to give you His help. You ask the Father for the food for your body and forgiveness for your sins. However, you have to forgive others their sins against you. At the end you ask to be delivered from the evil one. Pray as a child of God.

Words of God the Father (taken by Victoria Spalding, SFO) Jan.23, 2009
Healing Service, Immaculate Heart of Mary Church
My dear people, I, your God, wish to greet you with joy and love from my soul to yours. I know that you are weary at times, so I have sent my Son, Jesus, to refresh your soul and lead you closer to Me. I know what is in your heart and mind at all times, and I will give you whatever you need to draw closer to Me.
So, my dear people, when you stand before Fr. Zygmunt tonight, know that I also stand with you, along with my Son, Jesus, who I am giving to you to heal you and make you whole. Each word that Fr. Zygmunt speaks to you when he prays over you is ordained from above. So do not doubt what he says to you. He knows best what your soul needs to be healed and can readily call upon my Son’s Name to heal all that is within you that is causing you suffering and pain.
Therefore, my dear people, I, your loving God and Father, invite you tonight to gather with Me and my Son, and to know that although the way has been long for you, the future will be full of hope and promises from my desire to lead you home.
I am with you, my dear people, allowing you now to hear Me, your Father, speak these words to you, so that you may know the mercy of your God.
I am truly with you, my dear people.
I love you, my dear people. Go in peace.

REFLECTION:
God the Father loves each of us very much, and all He asks is that we love Him in return. God the Father knows what we need before we ask, but He still wants to hear it from us, so that we can dialogue with Him. Parents can’t’ raise a child properly unless there is dialogue between them.
God the Father knows that the world is not an easy place to live in. We need to have our souls refreshed, and Jesus can do that. But he can’t refresh us unless we spend time with Him. There has to be contact between us. And how does that contact take place; through the sacraments, through prayer, and through spending time with Jesus that comes through silent listening.
God the Father points out in this message that He has given Fr. Zygmunt to us, as His ordained minister. God the Father says:
Each word that Fr. Zygmunt speaks to you when he prays over you is ordained from above. So do not doubt what he says to you. He knows best what your soul needs to be healed and can readily call upon my Son’s Name to heal all that is within you that is causing you suffering and pain.
When God the Father says Do not doubt my ability to use Fr. Zygmunt as my instrument of healing, what does this mean? God is telling us: When Fr. Zygmunt speaks, my Son speaks. When Fr. Zygmunt blesses, it is my Son, who blesses. And where the Son dwells, there God the Father dwells also.
Why? Because when Jesus spoke, God spoke. When Jesus blessed, it was God who blessed. Jesus said, I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me. The Father and I are one.
Jesus gave all his apostles authority to heal the sick, to cure the lepers, to drive out demons. And that same authority has been passed down through apostolic succession, the laying on of hands from Peter, the first Pope, down to all the priests through their ordination. Therefore, priests today carry that same authority that Jesus gave the apostles. And Fr. Zygmunt carries that authority as well. So when he speaks, God speaks; when he blesses, God blesses.
When Fr. Zygmunt blesses you in the Name of Jesus, the blessing of Almighty God attaches itself to you and remains with you, and the only way it leaves is through mortal sin. And even then, we have the sacrament of confession. So God never leaves us, only we can leave Him. That is the mercy of God, the loving kindness of Our Father.
So when you come to a priest for any blessing, remember, when a priest blesses you and invokes the Name of Jesus, it is truly the Trinity who is blessing you and healing you.
I love you, Jesus. Come into my heart!. Amen.
2nd Vision to littlest of servants January 28, 2009
While in Church this morning praying in front of the BLESSED SACRAMENT JESUS spoke to me.
HE repeated three times that the United States was risking devastation because we continue to support abortion.
I then saw a city and I knew it to be San Fransisco and I saw it begin to shake and then I saw it quickly disappear underneath the ocean.
I then saw scene after scene like I was watching a slide show.
I saw earthquakes in Los Angeles.
I then saw hurricanes in Texas and along the gulf coast.
I then saw the east coast being hit by tsunamis and I saw Florida disappear under the waves of a tsunami.
I then saw California and most of it was missing and was underwater.
I then saw Texas again only this time I saw tornadoes moving across it.
I then saw California again and the coastline in southern California being hit with tsunamis.
JESUS spoke to me again and told me that hurricanes that are coming that will make Katrina look small. The tornadoes that will hit the U.S. will be like nothing that we have ever seen before. Some will be miles and miles across.
That the earthquakes will be of great magnitude. That the JUSTICE OF GOD can longer be contained. That HEAVEN IS FILLED DAILY WITH THE ANGUISH CRY OF THE UNBORN AS THEY ARE RIPPED APART IN THE WOMB. That their cry "mommy don't kill me I want to live" fills the HEAVENS. That daily this calls for HIS JUSTICE. THE JUSTICE OF HIS FATHER IN HEAVEN.
That time had run out for AMERICA and when these events begin the people of AMERICA are so blind to the evil of abortion that they will not know why these devastating events are taking place.
That at first we will call to HIM to stop these events but we will refuse to repent of the abortions and these events will continue.
It is then that we will turn on GOD and begin to blame HIM for our misery.
I was crying as I saw all this and I asked JESUS if we could still mitigate or stop this from happening.
HE THEN TOLD ME THAT WE COULD NOT STOP THE EVENTS BECAUSE THE TIME HAS RUN OUT. BUT JESUS TOLD ME WE COULD LESSEN THEM THROUGH PRAYER. THAT THE PRAYERS OF THE ROSARY AND THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET ARE ESPECIALLY POWERFUL.
I THEN SAW A MAP OF THE UNITED STATES AND IT HAD BLOOD DRIPPING FROM IT.

1st Vison to littlest of servants January 28, 2009
While in Church this morning after I received HOLY COMMUNION
I saw the following vision.
I saw a man but I could not make out his features however I could see clearly that he was wearing the skin of a lamb.
I then saw a closer look at this man and he had the head of a wolf.
JESUS then spoke to me and told me that the one who will come as a lamb but really is a wolf who desires to destroy mankind is soon to appear.
PS. The first time I sent this message out it disappeared.
2nd Message to Louise Jan.27,2009
2nd Message via L., V+J
January 27, 2008- -1:35 P.M.
L. began to receive a message from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood." (and other prayers of testing)
Then God the Father spoke again,
"The world is slightly tilted off its axis causing shifts in your weather.
The icebergs at the poles are slowly melting.
A devastating event is soon to occur.
You will have NO water, NO electricity, NO heat, NO oil, NO gas, NO food, NO stores will be open- - -you will be totally without .
Have you listened to My words of preparation?
Only those prepared in soul and body, My tiny remnant, will have nothing to be concerned about.
I AM WITH YOU UNTIL THE END OF TIME!"
This is note from Mari not Louise
Note: A very dear trusted Marian friend called to tell me (and gave me permission to share this with you all as we thought it might encourage you) that a religious was coming to their home recently (which is a refuge) and when they arrived they proceeded to tell them that their home never showed up on their navigation system but only the meadow behind it showed up on it. L. and John Leary ( I think it was him) and possibly several other messengers had received msgs over the years that the refuges would be made invisible of protection reasons from evil men.
Now if you try this this you may disappointed because it just may not necessarily happen to you as remember that God gives gifts in His own timing for what ever reason is always His Perfect Will and His choice alone.
Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 29 - THROUGH FASTING
Holy Sacrifice!
Nor was it to offer Himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the Holy Place yearly with blood not his own; for then He would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, He has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Hebrews 9:25-26
Today's verse is one of the all-time favorites among critics of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Such critics allege that the Mass "sacrifices Jesus again and again." In reality, however, the Mass is a participation in the one and only sacrifice there ever has been, will be, or even could be for the sins of the world: the sacrifice of Christ. Since it is a real participation, it is a real sacrifice, for Christ is our Paschal Sacrifice.
But since it is a participation, it is not a repetition. The Christ Who is present on the altar under the appearance of bread and wine is the very same Christ Who died on the cross two thousand years ago. The sacrifice into which we enter is the one and only sacrifice He ever offered on Calvary. And the new life we receive from Him Who is really present in the Eucharist is the Risen Life He brought with Him out of the tomb.
"Who can see you, O Sacred Host, without being moved? Who is not attracted by your Divine beauty? Who on feeling your burning rays does not feel your warmth, and drink of the fountain of life?" Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God
Mother Teresa
Let us keep the joy of loving Jesus in our hearts. And let's share that joy with everyone we meet. Passing on joy is something which is very natural. We have no reason for not being joyful, since Christ is with us.
Christ is in our hearts.
Meditations by Padre Pio - We don't reach salvation without crossing the stormy sea continually threatened with disaster. Calvary is the hill of the saints, but from there we pass on to another mountain which is called Tabor.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
If there is no outrage, evil will continue
"As long as the people are not aroused to abuses or evil, they will not support social legislation. It must be remembered that all crimes against society are founded on false and wicked ideas, and until these are altered, society will not be altered. A lion is not gentle once it is behind a cage; a wild horse is not less ill-tempered because of a bridle and kicking stirrups put on it."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
I feel that God will let me draw aside the veils [of heaven] so that the earth will not doubt His goodness. God is not subject to eclipse or change. He is forever one and the same; nothing can contradict His will. I feel within myself a power greater than human. I feel courage and strength thanks to the grace that dwells in me.
I understand souls who are suffering against hope, for I have gone through that fire myself. But God will not give [us anything] beyond our strength. Often have I lived hoping against hope, and have advanced my hope to complete trust in God. Let that which He has ordained from all ages happen to me. (386)
On one occasion, the Lord said to me, Why are you fearful and why do you tremble when you are united to Me? I am displeased when a soul yields to vain terrors. Who will dare to touch you when you are with Me? Most dear to Me is the soul that strongly believes in My goodness and has complete trust in Me. I heap My confidence upon it and give it all it asks. (453)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
Jan 29 - THROUGH FASTING
In the second year of the apparitions, the Blessed Virgin gave the following message on fasting :
The best fast is on bread and water. Through fasting and prayer, one can stop wars, one can suspend the laws of nature. Charity cannot replace fasting. Those who are not able to fast can sometimes replace it with prayer, works of love, and confession; but everyone, except the sick, must fast (First Years July 21,1982).
Fasting was a common practice in the early church. In this passage, Paul and Barnabas fast and pray for the new church leaders :
And after they has appointed elders for them in each church, with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had come to believe (Acts 1 4 :23).
Reflection :
In the Canterbury Tales, Chaucer wrote, Who will pray, he must fast and be clean, And fat his soul, and make his body lean.
Fasting is a difficult teaching, for it entails sacrifice and self-denial. And yet Our Lord and his Mother would not ask it of us unless it were vitally important, as Mary says, to " the salvation of the world, " to the fulfillment of her plans in Medjugorje. And as she has told us many times, those plans are totally dependent on our prayers and sacrifices.
If we feel trepidation at the prospect of fasting, it is best simply to confide this to Our Lady and ask for the special graces we need to live this message. We can be sure that she will answer this prayer without delay, for she urgently needs our help.
Application :
Asking boldly for Mary's help, make a decision to fast this Friday. Be sure to offer this sacrifice for one of your prayer intentions, or those of Our Lady, since fasting greatly amplifies the power of prayer, even to working the miraculous.
Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 28 - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS
"May the Most Blessed Virgin Mary from whom Christ the Lord took the flesh
which under the species of bread and wine `is contained, offered and
consumed,' may all the saints of God, especially those who burned with a more ardent
devotion to the divine Eucharist, intercede before the Father of mercies so
that from this same faith in and devotion toward the Eucharist may result and
flourish perfect unity of communion among all Christians," Pope Paul VI,
Mysterium Fidei (The Mystery of Faith).
"Eucharistic adoration strengthens Christian life ... I exhort you to
continue along this adoring path, putting before the gaze of Jesus Christ the
anxieties, the hopes, the worries and even the sins of all humanity. Before Him everything takes on a new face." (Pope John Paul II)
Mother Teresa -
We need to bring prayer into our family life. Through prayer, we will be able to teach our children and relatives to share. We will gain more through genuine prayer than with mere words.
Meditations by Padre Pio - "As long as you are afraid, you will not sin." "Maybe, Father, but I suffer a great deal." "Certainly, one suffers, but one must have confidence; there is the fear of God and the fear of Judas." Too much fear makes us act without love, and too much confidence cause us not to consider and fear the danger that we must overcome. One should help the other, and go together like two sisters.
Always, when we become beware of being afraid, of having too much fear, we should remember to become confident. If we are excessively confident, we should become instead a little fearful. Love tends to the object loved, however, in its approach, it is blind, it does not see. But holy fear enlightens it.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
There is a need to nip problems in the bud
"Much social reform attempts to cure problems such as crime and juvenile delinquency by changing environment, such as building more dance halls and swimming pools. One of the difficulties social reform must always face is that it hardly ever goes into operation until things have gotten very bad."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
O my Jesus, how immensely I rejoice at the assurance You have given me that the Congregation will come into being. I no longer have the least shadow of a doubt about this, and I see how great is the glory which it will give to God. It will be the reflection of God's greatest attribute; that is, His divine mercy. Unceasingly, they will intercede for divine mercy for themselves and for the whole world.
And every act of mercy will flow from God's love, that love with which they will be filled to overflowing. They will strive to make their own this great attribute of God, and to live by it and to bring others to know it and to trust in the goodness of the Lord. This Congregation of Divine Mercy will be in God's Church like a beehive in a magnificent garden, hidden and meek. The sisters will work like bees to feed their neighbors' souls with honey, while the wax will flame for the glory of God. (664)
During Holy Mass, I offered myself completely to the heavenly Father through the sweetest Heart of Jesus; let Him do as He pleases with me. Of myself I am nothing, and in my misery I have nothing of worth; so I abandon myself into the ocean of Your mercy, O Lord. (668)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
Jan 28 - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS
The following is the Gospa's message for April, 1990:
"Dear children, today I call you to seriously accept and live the messages I have given you. I am with you and I wish to draw each of you ever closer to my heart.
But to accomplish this, little children, I need you to pray and always seek the will of God in your everyday life. I wish that each of you discover the way of holiness and grow in it until eternity.
I will pray and intercede for you before God that you can understand my presence here for the great gift that it is--gift from God to both of us."
(Monthly Message April 25,1990)
The ultimate purpose of the messages, of course, is to transform us into the image of Christ, that his peace may prevail:
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit. (2 Cor 3:17-18
Reflection:
Through his many scholarly books on theology, St. Thomas Aquinas' goal, like that of the Blessed Virgin, was to draw the individual closer to Christ so that he could be transformed into his image and likeness. He spent great effort in examining the characteristics of the divine nature and showing how we might acquire them. His composition of the following prayer reveals those virtues which he considered most important.
Application:
As Our Lady recommends, let us offer this Prayer for a Faithful and Upright Heart from the heart.
O Lord my God,
help me to be obedient without reserve,
poor without servility,
chaste without compromise,
humble without pretense,
joyful without depravity,
serious without affectation,
active without frivolity,
submissive without bitterness,
truthful without duplicity,
fruitful in good works without presumption, quick to revive my neighbor without haughtiness, and quick to edify others by word and example without simulation.
Grant me, O Lord, an ever-watched heart that no alien thought can lure away from you;
a noble heart
that no base love can sully;
an upright heart
that no perverse intention can lead astray;
an invincible heart
that no distress can overcome;
an unfettered heart
that no impetuous desires can enchain.
O Lord my God,
also bestow upon me
understanding to know you,
zeal to seek you,
wisdom to find you,
a life that is pleasing to you,
unshakable perseverance,
and a hope that will one day take hold of you.
May I do penance here below and patiently bear your chastisements. May I also receive the benefits of your grace, in order to taste your heavenly joys and contemplate your glory. Amen.
Medjugorje Day By Day Jan 27 - LET PRAYER ILLUMINATE YOUR LIFE
Message of January 25, 2006
Dear children! Also today I call you to be carriers of the Gospel in your families. Do not forget, little children, to read Sacred Scripture. Put it in a visible place and witness with your life that you believe and live the Word of God. I am close to you with my love and intercede before my Son for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.
Message of January 25, 2005
"Dear children! In this time of grace again I call you to prayer. Pray, little children, for unity of Christians, that all may be one heart. Unity will really be among you inasmuch as you will pray and forgive. Do not forget: love will conquer only if you pray, and your heart will open.Thank you for having responded to my call."
Mother Teresa -
I don't think there is anyone who needs God's help and grace as much as I do. Sometimes I feel so helpless and weak. I think that is why God uses me. Because I cannot depend on my own strength, I rely on him 24 hours a day.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Remember that at first a mother teaches her child how to walk by supporting him, but later he has to walk by himself. You, therefore, must think things out for yourself.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
The heart steers our actions
"The heart is the mint wherein the coinage of human life is stamped; it is the anvil which forges habits and routines; it is the `stick' which pilots the plane of life. Sir Walter Scott once said to his son-in-law Lockhart: `We shall never learn to feel and respect our own calling and destiny, until we have taught ourselves to consider everything as moonshine, compared with the education of the heart.'"
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Mother of God, your soul was plunged into a sea of bitterness; look upon your child and teach her to suffer and to love while suffering. Fortify my soul that pain will not break it. Mother of grace, teach me to live by [the power of] God. (315)
Once, the confessor told me to pray for his intention, and I began a novena to the Mother of God. This novena consisted in the prayer, "Hail, Holy Queen," recited nine times. Toward the end of the novena I saw the Mother of God with the Infant Jesus in Her arms, and I also saw my confessor kneeling at her feet and talking with her. I did not understand what he was saying to her, because I was busy talking with the Infant Jesus, who came down from His Mother's arms and approached me.
I could not stop wondering at His beauty. I heard a few of the words that the Mother of God spoke to him [i.e., my confessor] but not everything. The words were: I am not only the Queen of Heaven, but also the Mother of Mercy and your Mother. And at that moment she stretched out her right hand, in which she was clasping her mantle, and she covered the priest with it. At that moment, the vision vanished. (330)
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
Jan 27 - LET PRAYER ILLUMINATE YOUR LIFE
The Blessed Mother speaks of her favorite subject today:
"Dear children, today I call you to prayer. By means of prayer, little children, you will find joy and peace. Through prayer you will be richer in the mercy of God. Therefore, little children, let prayer illuminate your entire life. Especially, I call you to pray that those who are far from God may be converted. Then our own hearts will be richer because God will reign in the hearts of all. And so, little children, pray, pray, pray! Let prayer reign throughout the whole world. (Monthly Message August 25, 1989)
In this passage from Matthew's gospel, Jesus bears out the importance of prayer, and also its great power:
In the morning, when he returned to the city, he was hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the side of the road, he went to it and found nothing at all on it but leaves. Then he said, to it, "May no fruit ever come from you again!" And the fig tree withered at once.
When the disciples saw it, they were amazed, saying, "How did the fig tree wither at once?" Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, `Be lifted up and thrown into the sea', it will be done. Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive." (Mt 21:18-22)
Reflection:
Prayer is by far the most common subject of Our Lady's messages in Medjugorje, as well as a primary teaching of Christ in the gospels. It is the root of joy and peace, as Mary reminds us today, and its power is unbounded, as Jesus teaches his disciples in the gospel.
Of prayer with the heart, John Bunyan wrote, "When thou prayest, rather let thy heart be without words, than thy words without heart." So much has been written about prayer that for now we might simply underline the words of Mary's message today: prayer begets true joy and peace. This is the peace the world cannot give; this is the joy that abides deep within the heart.
There is no other way to obtain these gifts, not money, cars, homes, nor any of the world's allurements. There is only one way, a very simple way: our hearts opened to God in quiet prayer, in quiet communion with the divine Lord.
Application:
Give your fears and anxieties over to Our Lady today in prayer. Remain with her until you feel at peace.
Message to J.N.S.R. Oct.17,2008
JESUS, the Reaper
Friday, October 17, 2008
JNSR: You know Lord, that I will do everything that you are asking of me. But, is it what you really desire? What more can be done?
JESUS: I am the Reaper. Listen to your heart, nothing is granted in advance. One must persevere. The tunnel has many exits, but GOD alone knows the real exit (My Door).
I always said to you (to those serving Me, in Truth), that your work was simply to throw the seeds in the soil. Then, the Spirit of Truth keeps up the growth of all that grain that will awaken, and grow until the harvest, when I am coming to reap.
That harvest can only be good if the sowers were already diligent in choosing the good grain, and to sow liberally all over that field, which belongs to GOD. I said the whole Earth. The result: GOD alone knows. But be aware that only GOD can tell you to stop.
I am not saying that you are sowing in vain, as He who is speaking to you, is asking you to continue. The grain that I am putting in your bag is of prime quality, and it is not at 10 or 20 or even 50 percent that it will give fruit, but at 100 percent, if you sow broadly. Everything will grow in depth.
Go, I expect My Harvest.
Your GOD of Hope,
JESUS Christ.
