Black Saints of the day—From the Black Saints reference book (James Wesly Smith), 456 pages, paperback, 1000 lines of Black and African Saints in the Latin Rite, Coptic and Orthodox branches of the Mystical Body of Christ (all Christianity combined) to year 599 A.D. Order from BarnesandNobles.com, Ingram Book Group internationally, Amazon, wherever online books are sold, or quickly from www.booklocker.com/books/3088.html
FOREWORD
We include here stories, legends, and myths of the black saints. Companion volumes (Black Saints Narratives, Writings of the Black Saints), cover a more comprehensive examination of the lives of these and other holy folk.
Now in the cultural anthropologic sense, the word myth does not mean fiction. Oral and historical traditions show a different reading.
Those following cultural anthropology templates (folklore) should be able to glean the kernels of "truth” hidden in the ether of time.
In this first volume, we primarily focus on the African East coast and Northern areas (Kemet, Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, Cush, Abysinnia, the Mauretanias, Libya, and what now is Algeria.
These areas proved to be the base of the Ancient African Church in the first 599 years, anno domini. Other volumes will contain additional areas, materials, for example, 600 A.D. to the modern era, as well as the annals, writings, and narratives of the Black Saints, Mystics, and Holy Folk.
Those not brothers and sisters, SKIP THIS PART!
An old Black adage reports, “your friends don’t need an explanation, and your enemies won’t believe it ‘no way’”. (Not that any readers are enemies, but brothers and sisters know my meaning). So how do we know the saints and companions are Black (instead of just African)?
In these pages, we used the age-old American test. Notwithstanding the legal examination (the “One drop rule”) we asked, “How would the inclusion candidate, and his or her companions fare in the American South in 1930s, segregation Mississippi, walking into a Ku Klux Klan rally?)
Or
Would the saint, mystic, and companions need an identity card in South Africa from the late 1940s to the early 21st century?
We also used the “birds of a feather” paradigm. What would happen to those “not black,” associating in the perilous times of martyrdom with those who were?
Still, some listed here aren’t ethnically black (unless you count HB Leakey’s discoveries that modern man (Homo Sapiens Sapien)-- the one drop rule-- walked out of Africa million(s) of years ago).
Black they are, nevertheless. The American South had a name for them. Presumably, South Africans in the 1940s to 1990s held like epithets.
So we include them. They helped lift up the Kingdom of God among Africans, and the descendants of the historical and geologic African Diasporas. These are reckoned among the “holy folk”.
Genesis of the Work
This writer tired of Western American church racism. Still extant but now waning in this 21st century, we tired of feeling we did not belong.
We tired of being psychologically unwilling or unable to receive Blood of Christ in Holy Eucharist without fear that some third- worlder would frown in disdain and refuse to drink afterwards.
Further, watching a music awards called Grammys one 1980s night, one prominent Black artist thanked the crowd for “teaching us about Jesus!” I nearly fell out of my chair.
Christianity came out of Africa, not to it! As did Yeshua—the Christ, Jesus. “That what was said through the prophet might be fulfilled, ‘Out of Egypt I called my son’”.
But we disparage no one’s (group, heritage, and ethnicity) involvement in the faith tradition. We desired, however, the little ones singing, “Yes, Jesus loves me!” included those with melanin. These need the knowledge of their historical involvement in The Way--the people of God of. Hence, this book.
In some instances, calendar dates differ while the saint may be the same. Changes in the calendars of the Latin, Byzantine, Coptic, Russian, or Greek rites (Orthodox) caused this. And some dates are approximate, due to the differences in the Latin Rite, Russian, Greek, and Roman, AND Western interpretations/translations of those calendars.
Again, under the “birds of a feather” model,we took names without dates from tombs sources, authorities, references to other saints in Africa, Kemet, and environs. Some duplicates appear due to name spellings. Others may be different entities, altogether.
Also, acclamation determined the saints in all the early church. Devotions arose for this or that holy person or martyr.
As this is remains a work in progress—we’ve found hundreds of saints we have as yet to include. And should the reader find any grammatical or other errors, please let us know at stbernice@yahoo.com. God will bless you all.
Author’s note and caveat: With Yeshua’s averment, “I am the vine, you are the branches…” (John 15:5), this writer submits that Christ Jesus knew His church would splinter.
Indeed, even Judaism had previously split into segments of Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essennes. Each manifested subdivisions in practice, depending in what continent/territory believers found themselves.
Since there were 12 working apostles plus 1, and disciples sent by Yeshua, and disciples of the apostles, themselves--inevitably, different church branches, rites, traditions grew.
This book—and following volumes- seeks to include all the saints discoverable, without the Western Church shenanigans of who follows whom. By way of background, the writer belongs to the African root of the Latin rite in the Oriental Church.
But he reminds the reader (by way of example and not limitation), that not only is there an Archbishop of Canterbury, as well as the the Chief priest and Archbishop in the Eternal City, but there also exists Pope Shenouda II (as of this writing)-as well as their Holinesses Alexis and Bartholomew, and others administering branches of Yeshua’s universal Church.
The writer, Tielhard de Chardin, said years ago that the Church was in involution, slowly re-combining as Yeshua so desired in the beginning.
The foolishness of “who is and who ain’t” Christian or “Christian enough” won’t be found here. The reformation is over! (And the then dormant African Church wasn’t a part of it, anyway).

Fr Doucette - Tue, Feb 24, 2009: "Be a faithful follower of mine"
FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"Be a faithful follower of mine"
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Dear Friends,
Jesus said, Therefore do not be afraid of them. Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father. But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father. Matthew 10:26 33
Following is the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words, There will be persecutions of My followers but do not be afraid of them. These persecutors do the work of the evil one and they are like those who persecuted Me during My public life.
These evil people can only kill the body but they cannot touch your soul. You should be afraid of God who can destroy both the soul and body in hell. Remember, you are worth much in the eyes of the Father. The Father, the Holy Spirit and I love you all with infinite love and We give you all the graces you need.
I call you all to be men and women of faith who are not afraid to acknowledge Me before the people. Express your belief in Me as the Son of God who came to suffer and die in order to redeem you from your sins. If you acknowledge Me before others, I will acknowledge you before My Father in heaven.
I am your greatest friend who never leaves you and strengthens you to fight the good fight till the end. With Me you can conquer the evil one and grow in holiness every day of your life.
Be a true example of a faithful follower of mine. Do not rely on yourself but rely on Me and you will succeed. Do the will of your Heavenly Father and you will be blessed by Him. Forgive all those who hurt you and I will forgive you all your sins. I love you.

Fr Doucette - Mon, Feb 23, 2009: "Join your sufferings to mine"
FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"Join your sufferings to mine"
Monday, February 23, 2009
Dear Friends,
Jesus said, Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of people, for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans.
When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.
You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. No disciple is above his teacher, no slave above his master. ... If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household! Matthew 10:16 25
Here is another message from Our Lord given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him saying, I told My disciples about the coming persecutions. All those who believed in Me would be handed over to courts and scourged and many would die.
They did not have to worry about what they would say in court because the Holy Spirit would speak through them. Brother would hand over brother, and father his child. You will be hated by all because of Me but the one who lasts till the end will be saved.
After My Ascension for hundreds of years there were persecutions throughout the Roman Empire. They killed many holy people and they thought they were doing a good thing. There are many saints and martyrs from these years that are venerated in My Church.
There will be more persecutions in the future and in fact there has been persecutions in My Church all through her two thousand years of existence. As they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; but be of good cheer because you are on the right path. I will never leave you, so remain always with Me.
See how My Apostles have suffered. They are all martyrs except John although he suffered greatly; he pulled through everything and remained alive by a miracle. There will be more persecutions in the future but do not worry I love you. Join your sufferings to mine so that the peoples of the world may accept Me and live with Me in heaven.

Message to Louise Feb. 21, 2009
Message via L., V+J
February 21, 2009- - -11 A.M.
L. began to receive a message from her sons and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood." (and other various prayers of testing)
Then Joey and Stephen spoke, " Mom, oh dear mom, all of Heaven, the Holy Souls and God's tiny remnant are united in constant prayer. The prayers are sung and the melody and harmony is so beautiful.
We pray that God's Will will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. If only humans would seek and do God's Will for them daily what wonderful peace would encompass the entire earth.
Now, today it's all - I, me, MY will be done. They do not believe in God or that Jesus came to earth in the flesh to live and and die for them and for them alone.
For this reason there is little if any true faith remaining on earth. Only the prayers and tears of the faithful console the Lord.
Mom, tell all people to seek God's Will daily and DO IT! Pray incessantly! Pray from your heart! God hears all prayers and very soon you will see the results of your love, faith and dedication for His Divine Justice will encompass the entire earth.
This punishment has begun and will worsen quickly. God's beautiful creation is being totally destroyed by evil men everywhere.
Be at peace mom, and all God's faithful, loving remnant. Offer your all to Him each day, live for Him, do all for Him, love and pray incessantly for this is God's Will for you. He wants all souls to return to Him and reside in Heaven eternally.
Love and prayers forever...
Your sons
Joey and Stephen"
Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 24 - Even the smallest prayers
"'You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church' . . . 'Feed my lambs . . . Tend my sheep'. This invitation of Jesus' is especially alive in my soul when I contemplate the Eucharistic mystery. I entrust all the People of God to Him, the Good Shepherd, in this Lenten walk towards Easter" (Pope John Paul II, February 20, 2005).
Outside the Eucharistic celebration, the Church is careful to venerate the
Blessed Sacrament, which must be "reserved...as the spiritual centre of the religious and parish community" (Paul VI, Mysterium Fidei, n. 68).
Mother Teresa -
True love for our neighbor is to wish him well and to do good to him.
Padre Pio -
He who does not meditate is like a person who never looks in the mirror and therefore does not bother to be tidy when he goes out, since he can be dirty without knowing it.
The person who meditates and thinks of God, who is the mirror of his soul, tries to discover his defects, attempts to correct them, controls himself and straightens out his conscience.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Pity can be misplaced if one does not see the whole picture
"When Our Lord was being led out to Calvary, the pious women came to console Him, but He addressed them saying, 'Weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves and your children.' In other words, 'Your pity is misplaced. It is not for Me that you should mourn, but rather weep for those who send Me to death.
Shed no tears for the Crucified, but for the crucifers. I go to a momentary sorrow, but there is a glorious Resurrection from it. In every flame there is a point of quietness and repose where a match may be inserted without igniting; so too within My heart, already so crowned with thorns of sorrow, there is an oasis of joy which no man can take from Me.'"
St. Faustina's diary
Where there is genuine virtue, there must be sacrifice as well; one's whole life must be a sacrifice. It is only by means of sacrifice that souls can become useful. It is my self-sacrifice which, in my relationship with my neighbor, can give glory to God, but God's love must flow through this sacrifice, because everything is concentrated in this love and takes its value from it. (1358)
I am coming out of this retreat thoroughly transformed by God's love. My soul is beginning a new life, earnestly and courageously; although outwardly my life will not change, and no one will notice it, nevertheless, pure love is [now] the guide of my life and, externally, it is mercy which is its fruit. I feel that I have been totally imbued with God and, with this God, I am going back to my everyday life, so drab, tiresome, and wearying, trusting that He whom I feel in my heart will change this drabness into my personal sanctity. (1363)
O Eternal Love, who enkindles a new life within me, a life of love and of mercy, support me with Your grace, so that I may worthily answer Your call, so that what You Yourself have intended to accomplish in souls through me might indeed be accomplished.
My God, I see the radiance of eternal dawn. My whole soul bounds toward You, O Lord; nothing any longer holds me back, nothing ties me to earth. Help me, O Lord, to bear the rest of my days with patience. The sacrifice of my love burns incessantly before Your Majesty, but so silently that only Your divine eye sees it, O God, and no other creature is capable of perceiving it. (1365)

Feb 24 - EVEN THE SMALLEST PRAYERS
Today the Blessed Mother speaks of prayer from the heart
: "Dear Children, today I call you to pray with the heart. Throughout this season of grace; I wish each of you to be united with Jesus. But without unceasing prayer, you cannot experience the great and beautiful graces which God is offering you.
Therefore, little children, at all times fill your hearts with even the smallest prayers. I am with you and I keep watch unceasingly over every heart which is given to me. (Monthly Message Feb 25, 1989)
St. James advises : If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. But ask in faith; never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind (Jas
1 :5-6).
Reflection :
James emphasizes that our prayer should be confident and hopeful, for God will deny nothing that is good to his children. And the Blessed Virgin stresses the importance of "even the smallest prayers, " for they too are an encounter with her divine Son.
The following is a special "small prayer " for inner peace which seeks the intercession of St. Therese, the Little Flower :
"Lord Jesus, inspired by the example of St. Therese, I place all my trust in your Sacred Heart, and surrender myself to your will. Come into my life, drive away my fears, stop my restless strivings, and show me new ways of pleasing you. Teach me to discern the good in others, and to love them with an affectionate smile, a gentle touch, a patient ear, and an affirming word.
St. Therese, pray that I may become alive again with awe, the appreciation of truth, and the courage to oppose evil. Remind me always that I am created for happiness, for the joy of living in the presence of God. St. Therese, pray that I, and all God's people, may have the inner peace that comes form confidence, surrender, and affirmation. Amen.
Application :
While reflecting on this prayer, you may wish to copy it on a mall piece of paper and tuck it into your wallet or purse for use in troubled or anxious times.

Vision to littlest of servants February 21, 2009
While in Church after Mass while praying in front of the BLESSED SACRAMENT I received the following vision.
I saw people on what looked like a battlefield and I could see that they were marching toward a group that I could not make out expect that they seemed to be dark and black and were retreating.
I then saw that the group of people who were marching had on their shirts the TWO HEARTS.
I then saw clearly that they had ROSARIES in their hands and they were PRAYING THE ROSARY.
I could hear the thunderous roar of the HAIL MARY from this group that was made up of thousands of people from every race and gender (it was wonderful to hear the HAIL MARY said like this it was powerful).
I then saw again the group that was retreating and I could now clearly see that this group was made up of demons.
Later I saw the map of the United States and on the map in the center I saw a small group of people who had ROSARIES in their hands and were in a circle. Around the circle on the rest of the map I saw nothing but darkness.
I then saw a map that had North, Central, and South America on it. In each one of these countries the scene I had seen in the United States was repeated.
Then I saw a map with every country of the world on it and the scene was repeated in all the countries. The only difference being that some of the countries had groups that were very small.
I was then given the understanding to know that these groups represented the PRAYER GROUPS that OUR LADY had formed in each country and that soon they would be called into the FINAL BATTLE TO HELP DEFEAT THE EVIL ONE AND HIS DEMONS.

How souls go to Hell or Purgatory or Heaven
In September, of 1995, my wife, my daughter and I went to a Marian conference in Chicago. While we there listening to the speakers, a thought came to my mind about how souls go to hell. Now no one was talking about this subject, for some reason I just started thinking about it.
Before I go on, I must tell you that I have read several messages that state that God does not send souls to hell, that the soul sends itself to hell, and I had wondered how this could happen. Well as I said, I was thinking about this, and it is like this, darkness is sin and light is God. Now if a person lives in a room or cave of compete darkness and has been there for along time, when that person comes into the light, he or she can not stand the light so the person goes back in to the dark room.
This is like a soul that has lived in sin, when the soul dies, it can not stand to look at God, Who is pure Light, so the soul drives itself into hell. Now the next day I was praying before Jesus in the blessed sacrament, the Holy Eucharist, when I began to think of this again and it was like this, a soul who lives in sin lives in darkness, but if the soul, while still living would let some light in, then when the soul died it would be like a person, who was in a dark room but let some light in.
So then when the person went into the Light, he or she would be able to squint their eyes and look at the light and eventually be able to open their eyes all the way. This would be a soul that, when it died was not pure enough to go to heaven, so it went to purgatory. All souls are different some have to squint harder then others and some can adjust faster to the light and some live always in the light, their eyes are wide open, these go straight to heaven.
Now on this same subject I would like to quote the book The Victorious Queen of The World , a spiritual diary of a mystic, Sr. Natalia of Hungary, page 45:
Once I cried on Jesus shoulder: Why did you create hell? To answer me, Jesus brought me to the judgment of a very sinful soul, whose sins He forgave. Satan was outraged!
You are not just! This soul was mine all his life! He shouted to Jesus: This one committed so many sins, while I committed only one, and You still created hell for me.
Jesus then with unbound love told Satan: Lucifer! Did you ever ask Me for forgiveness? Then Lucifer, seemingly beside himself, shouted: That never! That I will never do!
Then Jesus turned to me, You see, if he could ask Me for forgiveness only once, hell would cease to exist.
At the conference in Chicago, September 1995, Christina Gallagher, a visionary, a mystic, a stigmatist, and a victim soul was there and made very good talk. But not about how a soul goes to Hell or purgatory. Then in November 1995 I bought a book
The Sorrow, The Sacrifice, and The Triumph by Thomas W. Petrisko, which had just come out in November 1995. This book is about Christina Gallagher, The Apparitions, Visions, and Prophecies.
Now I would like to quote, what happens at death starting on page 117, When release from the body each soul is destined for immortal life, and its future in eternity is determined by its state when death takes place and the soul is released from the body. When the body dies and the soul is released, it suddenly finds itself in the full light of awareness, able to see itself as it stands in the sight of God.
It then realizes the darkness to which the body’s actions condemned it. The sensitivity of the soul to the enormity of the Light of God is like the naked eye before the brilliance of a thousand suns, and the soul in darkness quivers in pain. It plunges itself into the sea of Hell to avoid the pain of the enormity of the Light.
Purgatory
The soul destined for Purgatory seeks shade at the level in Purgatory appropriate to its own imperfection. It will automatically plunge itself into which it failed to atone sufficiently; it will gladly go to whatever level of Purgatory is necessary, and it will be eternally grateful to God, in the knowledge that it will one day gain His Presence in Heaven.
Wow!! Now isn’ t this something. Very similar to what came to my mind at the conference. It confirms that what came to me is true.
2/17/05 Also from The Diary Of St. Faustina, I quote, After these words, I received a deeper understanding of divine mercy. Only that soul who wants [to be damned] will be damned, for God condemns no one.(1452)
Here is something else I would like to share with you.
This is why Jesus asks us to live in constant penance for our sins! We should meditate on how much He suffered for our sins, in order that we might reach salvation. We should ask His forgiveness often and love Him for His unfathomable love!

I plead your most precious blood over the following words, my Lord Jesus, let it be done only according to your most Holy Will
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour , Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations
The Fourteenth Station:
Jesus is Laid in the Sepulcher
Beloved little one of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, I am being removed from My Holy Mothers’ arms to be placed on cloth which had been laden with spices. This cloth brought by Joseph of Arimathea who had asked Pilate for my body. It was not only Joseph but Nicodemus as well who removed my body from my mother’ s loving arms as they proceed to wrap my body.
( John Ch 19 Vs 38 - After this Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and took away his body.
39 Nicode'mus also, who had at first come to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds' weight.
40 They took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the bur ial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb where no one had ever been laid.
42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
My Holy Mother watches as Joseph and Nicodemus wrap my body. As if time were standing still, she remembers this child of hers from the day of his birth and the love she has always received from this her child. now laying before her being wrapped. She reaches over and places her hand over the wound on my side where blood and water had gushed forth. It is now over, realizing all that her son has offered in his love to the Father for all humanity to have Eternal Life.
Oh my children, remember these words from My Divine Mercy, Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.
Is that not what was given for each of you not only from Me but also what My Holy Mother gave, the life of her child for each of one of you, My children. Out of My Love and the Love of My Holy Mother to My Father, Love and Life Eternal
(John Ch 19 Vs 33) but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a20spear, and at once there came out blood and water.
35 He who saw it has borne witness -- his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth -- that you also may believe. 36 For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him shall be broken." 37 And again another scripture says, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced."
Beloved children of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, I have given you My Meditations on My Stations of the Cross which I now invite you to pray them along with My Divine Mercy as I have shown my little one. It is an invitation of your love to Me My children as you will not only offer me your love during this time of prayer but also realize and know how many souls your prayers will be saving as you meditate on my way of the cross interceding with the words I have given to My beloved St. Faustina, My Divine Mercy. I love you My children, I AM your Jesus Crucified. I AM your Jesus of Mercy.

The First Station:
Jesus Is Condemned To Death
Praise be to Jesus, for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
My Beloved children, are you willing to stand with20Me before Pontius Pilate. Look into your hearts, it is not easy to surrender to the Holy Will of My Father, but with your surrender you will be filled with a Grace that will lead you and yours to Eternal Life. Pontius Pilate had no choice but to condemn Me, because he knew if he did not accept the will of the people, his decision could cause the people to rise against him. Oh my beloved children, you see the Pontius Pilate's of this world that are leading my children astray to the epitome of desolation, the pits of eternal damnation, these choices as they continue to kill My Innocents.
You my children must use the weapons I and My Holy Mother have given you, the weapons of fasting, prayer, sacrifice and the Holy Sacraments. Prayer can change even hearts of stone. As I stood before Pontius Pilate, I could see the fear in his eyes, as he knew he was condemning an innocent man, for he knew there was something different about this man who stood before him.
As he asked the people to choose for either Barabas or this man called Jesus, the evil filled the streets with cries of hate calling out that I Jesus King of the Jews should be crucified. You my children are now in a world that is filled with evil and you are being asked to make a choice. How many times has the choice been made to continue in sin and be a part of the evil and worldly choices rather than being one with your Jesus of Mercy? What will your choice be?
1 X - Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.
10 X - For the sake of Jesus most sorrowful passion, Abba Father have mercy on us and on the whole world
The Second Station:
Jesus Carries His Cross
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
Oh20my beloved children. It is now time for them to take me away to be crucified. I have been beaten, scourged. The weapons of evil shredded my body, tore the flesh from my bones and bleeding they grab a dirty purple cloth which was laying on the ground, putting it around my body laughing they were putting the robe of royalty around a king.
Another soldier grabbed some branches from a weeded thorn bush, twisting it and placing it on my head, screeching with laughter he was crowning a king. He pushed harder and harder to penetrate my head until the blood started streaming down my face, then they pushed me to the ground telling me to pick up my staff, the cross I was to be crucified to. Dragging the cross, the laughter grew louder from the people in the crowds as they yelled out obsenities to t he King of the Jews .
In this world, where you see the blatant evil weapons of drugs, killing, abortion, euthanasia, sex, how easy it is for your children to come under these weapons of evil destruction which deadens the souls to Graces.
Those Graces that were given as I suffered for each of you, as I allowed the beatings, scourging and the carrying of the cross for each of you, each of your children. Do not waste this time you have been given, nor the graces you have been given, change your ways, return to prayer, to sacrifice, to fasting, to the Holy Sacraments. Not just for yourself but for your children, for all my children.
1 X - Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.
10 X - For the sake of Jesus most sorrowful passion, Abba Father have mercy on us and on the whole world
The Third Station:
Jesus Falls the First Time
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
My beloved children open your hearts to My Words. I will give you the Grace to walk with Me your Jesus of Mercy the road of the Via Dolorosa. Just as My Father gave me the Grace to pick myself up from the heavy weight of the cross, from the pain and exhaustion of the Beating, the Scourging, the Crown of Thorns.
We are so willing to give you many Graces, it is up to you for you have a free will, your free will to accept them or to not accept them.
1 X - Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.
10 X - For the sake of Jesus most sorrowful passion, Abba Father have mercy on us and on the whole world
The Fourth Station:
Jesus Meets His Afflicted Mother
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
Beloved children of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, could you stand by and watch if it was your child walking before you, bleeding, carrying a heavy cross, knowing your child was walking to his Crucifixion.
And yet My Mother did not cry out, nor did she rush towards me to try to stop this because she knew this is what the Almighty Father was allowing for the salvation of all people. She was giving her total surrender to save you my children.
Looking into her eyes I knew it was the Grace of Surrender given by the Father and yet I also knew the ultimate pain of sorrow she was suffering and could do nothing to stop this suffering for it was also My Surrender to My Father out of love for each one of you.
1 X - Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.
10 X - For the sake of Jesus most sorrowful passion, Abba Father have mercy on us and on the whole world
The Fifth Station:
Simon Helps Jesus Carry His Cross
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
Oh My beloved children. When Simon was told to help me, he accepted because he had no choice. But as he continued to help me, his heart of anger and mistrust began to change. Here is this stranger being ordered to help carry a heavy wooden cross, for a stranger he didn’ t even know or desired to know.
Simon became fearful that his own life might be taken if he refused, he also feared that the evil crowds might harm him, there was no trust in his heart.
Both he and I look ahead to a road that looks long and difficult, yet he continues to help me carry a cross that neither of us chose but was chosen for us. It became the surrendering of our wills that made this difficult road called the Via Dolorsa a Grace for all of Humanity. Think about this My children how your surrender can become the Grace needed to save not only your souls but the souls of many.
1 X - Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.
10 X - For the sake of Jesus most sorrowful passion, Abba Father have mercy on us and on the whole world

The Sixth Station:
Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations
Beloved children of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart There was but one in the crowd that ran out to wipe my face even though she knew she could die at the=2 0hands of the soldiers for doing this. Veronica wanted to show Me that I was not alone in the midst of the horrid evil atrocity being done against this man they called Jesus King of the Jews. Her heart breaking at the scene before her.
There was no stopping the evil that was being done but she could show love and compassion even though this may have meant retribution to her. It was this love and compassion which left the imprint of My Face on her veil.
Realize My children how through your acts of Love, Prayer, Compassion, Sacrifice, Forgiveness, Fasting, The Holy Sacraments Graces of My Love can leave the imprint of My Face, My Eternal Glory, within your Soul, the souls of your children, your world.
1 X - Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.
10 X - For the sake of Jesus most sorrowful passion, Abba Father have mercy on us and on the whole world
The Seventh Station: 11:07 2/14/09
Jesus Falls A Second Time
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations
We continue on this road called the Via=2 0Dolorsa. Simon is still helping Me, yet I feel as if My Strength is leaving me and the heat is draining me to the point of exhaustion and I can no longer carry the cross which is now upon my rattled body as I have fallen now a second time.
I can’ t go on, my body tortured and pained beyond human strength. But Simon pulls the cross off atop me and helps lift me up along with the cross. His strength being given to him by the Father, as it is not to be over yet.
Please My children, draw on the strength of the Father when you feel you can no longer go on in this world of corruption, deceit, evil consumption. The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit will be your strength, your fortitude, your perseverance. We will never leave you. We have never left you. We love you, you only need to call out to us.
1 X - Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.
10 X - For the sake of Jesus most sorrowful passion, Abba Father have mercy on us and on the whole world
The Eighth Station: 11:22 2/14/09
Jesus Speaks to the Holy Women
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Savior, Redeemer, Reconcil er of all nations. Listen my children as I spoke to the Holy Women who stood crying out for what they were witnessing, the injustice, cruelty, evil. As I spoke to them, I speak this to you My children. You are in a world of evil, sadistic, materialistic socialism, which has brought the killing of innocents not only in abortion but the killing of souls in what has been loosed upon this world.
They could not change what was happening on the day of My crucifixion and as I spoke the words, do not cry for me but cry for yourselves and your children, I speak these words to you, YOU CAN CHANGE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS WORLD TODAY!
Lift your voices in Prayer, Lift your hearts to the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit in sacrifice, fasting, the Holy Sacraments. Cry out to Me your Jesus of Mercy for yourselves and your children. I Will never Leave you, I love you
1 X - Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.

The Ninth Station:
Jesus Falls the Third Time
Praise Be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations
Beloved Little One, I invite you to open your heart for My Words, My Meditations which I will continue giving to you this night. Open with Prayer My Beloved one with the prayers I have invited My children to pray as they begin My Holy Way of My Cross. Oh My children, look at Me your Jesus of Mercy, continuing on the Via Dolorosa with Simon carrying most of the weight of the cross.
For My strength is again beginning to go. The weight of the cross is now to much for me to bare and the pain has caused me total exhaustion to the point of collapsing. But I continue the walk, straining to breathe as the sun and wind blows into my face and my body quickly dehydrating. Unable to go on, I fall for the third time, again the heavy cross falling and ripping the flesh even more. Such excruciating pain, the rocks, dirt and blood now clinging to the open wounds.
Simon hurriedly tries to hold on even more to the cross so that it does not fall atop of me again. I see that My Mother is standing in the distance with My beloved John and others who are continuing to follow. Her face shows the anguish of seen her son falling again in pain and I know that her desire20is to run to Me and save Me.
But again she knows she must remain silent lifting her prayers to the Father as Simon once again is given the strength to lift me and the cross, so that we can continue on this road of the Via Dolorsa. We can see ahead, the soldiers that already have reached the top of the hill where I am to be crucified.
They are drinking, laughing, yelling for me to hurry, so they can get out of the burning penetrating heat. Some of the soldiers are now gathering the crowds away, to give them room to proceed with the other two men who are now being tied to their cross. Simon and I are now struggling to get up the hill and I can see the soldiers pulling some men out of the crowd to help them lift the crosses, placing them in an upright position in order to give the room needed for my cross.
How many times My children, have you allowed situations that you know are wrong, but go along with others, because you either don’ t care to change from a lifestyle of sin, even when you know it will cause another disastrous consequences.
Or you feel that you need not make this your business because it has no affect on you. How sadly mistaken My children are, for you see each person is part of My Mystical Body and what affects one in My Mystical Body affects all.
Sin has a great affect on all My children but Grace also has a GREATER affect on all My children. Just as when Simon began this walk with Me, little did he know his heart would change=2 0to have love, compassion, empathy for this man called Jesus, and little did he know that the Father Almighty Himself would thank him for not only helping in carrying this cross, but for picking up off the ground the SON OF THE ALMIGHTY!
1 X - Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.
10 X - For the sake of Jesus most sorrowful passion, Abba Father have mercy on us and on the whole world
The Tenth Station:
Jesus is Stripped of His Garments
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
My precious children, see Me alone with only the soldiers and the two men on the cross, atop this hill of the Crucifixion. The soldiers continue to pull the clothes away from My body. My Holy Mother and all those who are standing around can see that the soldiers desire to humiliate and ridicule me more, by stripping me and leaving nothing on me, not even the purple cloth they had so tenuously tied so that it would not fall of in order to show all, My Robe of Royalty.
This cloth found in the dirt, even more dirty and now soaked in My Blood. Here I stand alone, My head bowed in shame that I had no covering and all could see Me shamefully and maliciously being exhibited, another humiliation which brought laughter to the crowds and tears to My Holy Mother, to John and the others there with My Holy Mother.
My Beloved John trying to shield her, yet she did not want to be protected, she could not bare to look up, she pleaded instead forgiveness of the Father over and over again for all that they were doing to her Son, to the Son of the Almighty.
How quickly are each of you willing to forgive any who have hurt you or your family? Maybe even humiliated you or your family! Would you, could you ask forgiveness of the Father, if all this was being done to your child?
1 X - Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.

The Eleventh Station: Meditation from Jesus to patsy soto
Jesus is Nailed to the Cross
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
This night I speak to you of My Eleventh Station, the ascent to the cross. Be strong in Me My children, for I AM with you. The soldiers for the last time push me to the ground, but this time the cross is laid out before me as I am falling atop the cross.
My hands still tied, one soldier begins to rip the twisted rope from My wrists, it is not enough that they ridicule and yell more obscenities at Me, they surround me in laughter as the soldier to the left of me begins pulling on my arm and wrist to extend it to reach where the hole has already been started on the cross, while the soldier to the right of me ties a piece of rope around My right wrist to extend my arm to that side of the cross as the first soldier now begins to hammer the nail into the wrist, my body collapses from the pain the blood now pouring out from the wrist, now again another nail is hammered to the right wrist as another soldier is pulling my leg down but the excruciating pain throughout My body causes my leg to twist as the soldier now extends my other leg over pulling and twisting my foot over the other foot and begins hammering the nail into my feet.
The pain is unbearable, the soldiers lift the cross and drop it into the hole that had been dug so that the cross was in an upright posit ion, the excruciating pain as the cross falls into the hole , my body, my head falls forward for I have no control, I cannot breathe, I have no strength to pull my head up, but I hear my holy mother’ s voice pleading with My Father as I cry out, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do!
I see the soldiers below me, picking up My cloak, looking up at me, they are laughing, saying I had saved others, why couldn’ t I save myself (Luke 23 vs. 36 - If you are king of the Jews, save yourself ) Hearing the hate, desperation, fear coming from the man on the cross to the side of me asking me if I am the Messiah, to save myself and save them.
But the man on the other side in a voice of compassion, tells him to quiet himself, telling him that they both belong in this forsaken place but that I was not suppose to be there with them. I pull my head up looking over at him, I see the compassion and pain in his eyes, and with the little strength I have left I tell him, that this day he will be with Me in Paradise. .
I now see My Holy Mother, with My beloved John on one side and both Mary’ s on the other side. My Holy Mother’ s eyes full of tears yet full of her love reaching My Heart, giving me the strength to say to her, Woman, behold your son, and to My beloved John, I said, behold your mother.0
I gave you my children, the grace to redeem yourselves through my sacrifice of suffering on this hill called Golgatha. I gave you My Mother, to be your mother on this hill called Golgatha, She gave the Father for each one of you her son’ s unbearable sufferings, asking forgiveness for all they were doing to her son.
We gave you our complete selfless love atop this hill of Golgatha so that every soul could have the gift of life eternal, yet how many have lost and are losing their souls to evil for all eternity? Do not betray our love, return to Me your Jesus of Mercy, I will always love you.
1 X - Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.

The Twelfth Station: Jesus Dies on the Cross
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations.
Thank you My beloved little one for opening your heart to Me your Jesus of Mercy. Whenever any of My children call out to Me I open the gates of My heart, I place My rays of life upon them showering them with My Grace, My Mercy.
The answer to your prayers may not be the answer you are looking for but it is My Perfect Will given to you.
This night I speak to you of the ultimate sacrifice of My Love, My Death in this world but Eternal Life for each of you, My children, who are accepting of My Holy Will. For I so willingly, so lovingly lead you to eternal lif e, with Me, through Me, For Me. It was My Life, offered to the Father, so that each child brought into this world would have the choice for Eternal Life.
It is now time for My life in this world to be given to the Father Almighty, one of My many sacrifices offered to the Father for you My children, yet the greatest sacrifice offered to the Father with love for all off humanity, My Death upon the cross atop the hill of Golgotha.
I have no strength, my body totally dehydrated yearns for water. Looking at the soldier below me, I say to him I thirst."
But instead of water, the soldier takes a sponge dips it into a bowl, then reaches up and the sponge with this bitter vinegar hits my lips, I refuse it. I turn away and I see My Holy Mother's face, her eyes say it all, the love she has given me since the moment she was told by the Angel Gabriel that she was with child, her love never faltered, her sacrifice unimagin able, her total surrender, her total love offered to the Father.
I know that her heart broken, must now give the ultimate gift of love to the Father, her son’ s death. I cry out to My Father, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?."
I look up giving my complete surrender to the will of My Father, I say to Him, "It is finished; Father into Thy hands I commend my spirit". Oh My children can you surrender totally to the Father?
A total surrender of your will offered to the Father Almighty for your children's souls, for your soul, for Eternal Life with the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit! Change your hearts, return to prayer, to sacrifice, to the Holy Sacraments. I love you My children, your Jesus of Mercy, your Jesus Crucified

The Thirteenth Station:
Jesus is Taken Down From the Cross
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour, Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations
It is over My children, standing before Pilate, betrayed, punished, the soldiers taking me to be scourged, beaten, condemned, a crown of thorns, Simon helps to carry My Cross, the long road of the Via Dolorsa, My Mother's eyes, pained with an insurmountable suffering, bearing her son’ s crucifixion. It is done, it is over. My Holy Mother never left Me .
She still at the foot of My Cross, as Joseph of Arimathea, My beloved John and other men, so carefully remove My lifeless, bloodied body, placing Me in My Holy Mother's arms. She holds me so closely, her veil covering my bloody, crowned head, she removes her veil and covers My body.
She gently removes the crown of thorns, and begins to wipe my face. She still begs forgiveness of the Father for all that was done to her son.
I was tortured and crucified but that wasn’ t my greatest agony on this day of My Crucifixion, no My children, it was seeing My Holy Mother’ s suffering throughout this day of My Crucifixion, that caused me the greatest pain. We have given you the ultimate gift of Our Love. It is your decision what you do with our love. Your Jesus of Mercy
1 X - Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.
10 X - For the sake of Jesus most sorrowful passion, Abba Father have mercy on us and on the whole world

Message from Jesus to Patsy Soto
I plead your most precious blood over the following words, my Lord Jesus, let it be done only according to your most Holy Will
Praise be to Jesus for Jesus is Lord, Saviour , Redeemer, Reconciler of all nations
The Fourteenth Station:
Jesus is Laid in the Sepulcher
Beloved little one of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, I am being removed from My Holy Mothers’ arms to be placed on cloth which had been laden with spices. This cloth brought by Joseph of Arimathea who had asked Pilate for my body. It was not only Joseph but Nicodemus as well who removed my body from my mother’ s loving arms as they proceed to wrap my body.
( John Ch 19 Vs 38 - After this Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him leave.
So he came and took away his body. 39 Nicode'mus also, who had at first come to him by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds' weight.
40 They took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb where no one had ever been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.)
My Holy Mother watches as Joseph and Nicodemus wrap my body, as if time were standing still she remembers this child of hers from the day of his birth and the love she has always received from this her child now laying before her being wrapped, she reaches over and places her hand over the wound on my side where blood and water had gushed forth.
It is now over, realizing all that her son has offered in his love to the Father for all humanity to have Eternal Life. Oh my children, remember these words from My Divine Mercy ,
Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement=2 0of our sins and the sins of the whole world. Is that not what was given for each of you not only from Me but also what My Holy Mother gave, the life of her child for each of one of you, My children. Out of My Love and the Love of My Holy Mother to My Father, Love and Life Eternal
(John Ch 19 Vs 33 - but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.
35 He who saw it has borne witness -- his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth -- that you also may believe. 36 For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him shall be broken."
37 And again another scripture says, "They shall look on him whom they have pierced." )
Beloved children of My Most Wounded Sacred Heart, I have given you My Meditations on My Stations of the Cross which I now invite you to pray them along with My Divine Mercy as I have shown my little one.
It is an invitation of your love to Me My children as you will not only offer me your love during this time of prayer but also realize and know how many souls your prayers will be saving as you meditate on my way of the cross interceding with the words I have given to My=2 0beloved St. Faustina, My Divine Mercy. I love you My children, I AM your Jesus Crucified. I AM your Jesus of Mercy.
1 X - Eternal Father I offer you the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Most Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement of our sins and the sins of the whole world.
10 X - For the sake of Jesus most sorrowful passion, Abba Father have mercy on us and on the whole world
