FATHER MELVIN DOUCETTE
"The power of the Holy Spirit will come upon you"
Tuesday, May 05, 2009
Dear Friends,
In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, the angel said, “Hail Mary, full of grace! The Lord is with you. and Elizabeth said, Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” Luke 1:26 28, 1:42
Here is the message I wanted to send you on Saturday. Our Blessed Mother on the first Saturday of the month spoke to Joseph. She spoke to him in these words, I bless you, My son, as I come to visit you. The purification throughout the world is continuing because of all the sins committed against God. Through the purification, the Father is sending precious graces to all of you. Open your hearts to accept these gifts from the Father. It is time now for you to turn from your sins and to come and follow Jesus, My Son.
The power of the Holy Spirit will come upon you and you will be renewed. Do not reject this powerful grace that the Father will send in the near future. You will receive the New Pentecost filled with great faith and with the strength to follow Jesus every day. Begin to pray today if you have not been praying in the past and you will be filled with the love of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Let the whole earth be renewed and let all people praise and thank God as His beloved children.
Father Melvin

MESSAGE TO MIRJANA 2 May 2009
On Saturday, there was this sobering message reputedly given by the Blessed Mother to a seer named Mirjana Dragivecic Soldo at the famous apparition site of Medjugorje:
"Already for a long time I am giving you my motherly heart and offering my Son to you. You are rejecting me. You are permitting sin to overcome you more and more. You are permitting it to master you and to take away your power of discernment. My poor children, look around you and look at the signs of the times.
Do you think that you can do without God's blessing? Do not permit darkness to envelop you. From the depth of your heart cry out for my Son. His Name disperses even the greatest darkness. I will be with you, you just call me: 'Here we are Mother, lead us.' Thank you."

MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN
SHARON FITZPATRICK - LOCUTIONIST
SUNDAY, MAY 3, 2009
MY DEAR DEAR PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,
IT IS THE DAY OF THE LORD, REJOICE! HE IS YOUR LOVE, HE IS YOUR SHEPHERD.
OH HOW HE LOVES YOU, YOU WHO ARE THE LITTLEST OF MY CHILDREN.
DEAR CHILDREN, DO NOT CONCERN YOURSELVES WITH THE WORLD OR WITH THOSE WHO
PROCLAIM IT'S DESTINY. YOU ARE MY LITTLE ONES, AND I GIVE TO YOU THESE
PETALS FROM HEAVEN. YOU ARE TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT I TELL YOU - I AM YOUR
MOTHER, I AM YOUR GUIDE, I AM YOUR TEACHER, I AM YOUR HOPE. I WILL GIVE TO
YOU ALL YOU NEED AND IN ALL WAYS.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO WORRY OR BE ANXIOUS.
YOU HAVE NO REASON TO TAKE ON FEAR. I AM WITH YOU, I LOVE YOU, AND I WILL
CARE FOR YOU. LISTEN TO THESE WORDS - THEN LIVE THEM.
TODAY, MANY SUFFER BECAUSE THEIR SHEPHERDS DO NOT FEED THEM. MANY GIVE ONLY
WHAT IS NECESSARY, OTHERS HOLD YOU IN CONTEMPT. THEY SEE NOTHING, THEY GIVE
LITTLE, THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN MY SON. YOU LIVE WITH HEARTACHE AND SORROW NOT
ONLY FOR WHAT IS LACKING BUT FOR THOSE SHEPHERDS WHO PLACE THEMSELVES ABOVE
JESUS GIVING HIM LITTLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ESPECIALLY AT MASS WHICH BELONGS
SOLELY TO HIM.
BUT THESE SHEPHERDS ARE DRAWING NEAR THE TIME WHEN THEY
SHALL WEEP AT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE AND WHAT THEY HAVE NOT DONE. SOME OF MY
BELOVED PRIEST-SONS HAVE BECOME TRUE SHEPHERDS. THEY CARE FOR THEIR FLOCKS
AND GIVE OF THEMSELVES, MAKING OFTEN TREMENDOUS SACRIFICES FOR THOSE
ENTRUSTED TO THEM. THEY TOO SHALL SEE THE RESULTS OF THEIR LOVE AND
COMMITMENT.
MY LOVES, TODAY YOU SEE JESUS AS THE SHEPHERD, HOLDING EACH OF YOU AS HIS
LITTLE LAMBS. HOW SWEET IS THIS AS YOU TOO GROW CLOSER AND CLOSER TO HIM.
YOU ARE LOVED LITTLE ONES, CHERISH THIS REVELATION AND BE CONTENT. PLACE
YOUR TOTAL TRUST IN THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS AND IN MY OWN IMMACULATE
HEART. YOU ARE LOVED, DEAR CHILDREN, YOU ARE LOVED.
TODAY I GO TO EACH ONE AND GIVE MY KISS. THE BLESSING OF CHRIST COMES UPON
YOU AS THE TRUE SHEPHERDS OF SOULS EXPRESS THEIR LOVE FOR GOD, FOR ME, AND
FOR YOU.
BE EVER GRATEFUL MY LITTLE LAMBS, PRAISING AND THANKING GOD FOREVER,
FOREVER, FOREVER.
Medjugorje Day By Day May 05 -The great love God has for you
The Holy Eucharist must be "at the center of every pastoral plan . . . it builds the Church as authentic community of the People of God and always regenerates it on the basis of the sacrifice of Christ himself."
"Above all, I invite you, dear families, to make reference to the Eucharist, as you are called to support your children in the path of preparation to the sacraments of Christian initiation and to follow them in adolescence and beyond, so that, growing, they will faithfully carry out the mission that God has reserved for them" (Pope John Paul II, March 8, 2004).
Mother Teresa
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
May Mary be the reason of your existence and guide you to the safe harbor of eternal salvation. May she be your gentle model and your source of inspiration in the virtue of humility.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
The self-destruction of self-will
"The will that always insists on having its own way, begins to hate its own way. Those who live only for self begins to hate self. self is too narrow, confining and dark a sanctuary for happy adoration."
You can't have it both ways. Either you're pro-life or not. Pro-choice is not an alternative!
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
One day, just as I had awakened, when I was putting myself in the presence of God, I was suddenly overwhelmed by despair. Complete darkness in the soul. I fought as best I could till noon. In the afternoon, truly deadly fears began to seize me; my physical strength began to leave me. I went quickly to my cell, fell on my knees before the Crucifix and began to cry out for mercy. But Jesus did not hear my cries. I felt my physical strength leave me completely.
I fell to the ground, despair flooding my whole soul. I suffered terrible tortures in no way different from the torments of hell. I was in this state for three quarters of an hour. I wanted to go and see the Directress, but was too weak, I wanted to shout but I had no voice. Fortunately, one of the sisters [another novice, Sister Placida Putyra] came into my cell. Finding me in such a strange condition, she immediately told the Directress about it. Mother came at once.
As soon as she entered the cell she said, "In the name of holy obedience get up from the ground." Immediately some force raised me up from the ground and I stood up, close to the dear Mother Directress. With kindly words she began to explain to me that this was a trial sent to me by God, saying, "Have great confidence; God is always our Father, even when He sends us trials. " (24a)
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.
MAY 5 - THE GREAT LOVE GOD HAS FOR YOU
The Madonna speaks of love today:
Dear children, today I call you to a complete surrender to God. You are not conscious, dear children, of the great love God has for you. This is why he has allowed me to be with you, to teach and help you to find the way to peace. But you cannot find it if you do not pray.
Therefore, dear children, forsake everything and consecrate your time to God, for then he will bestow gifts upon you and bless you.
Little children, do not forget that your life is fleeting like a spring flower, which today is wondrously beautiful, but tomorrow has vanished. Therefore, pray in such away that your prayer, as well as your surrender to God, maybe be come like a road sign. In this way your witness will not only have value for yourself, but also for others and for all eternity [MM 3-25-88].
In his great love for us, God will deny us nothing which is good:
Ask, and it will be given you, search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be open for you. For everyone who asks, receives, and everyone who searches, finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if the child asks for a fish, would you give a snake? If you then, who are sinful, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask him! [Matthew 7:7- 11].
Reflection:
The heart of God overflows with a kindness and generosity beyond our understanding, which is the core of Our Lady's message today: "You dear children, are not conscious of the great love God has for you." Because of this, he can deny us nothing that is good, if we but seek it in prayer: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find."
Like a father giving bread to his son, God's power and gifts are available to all his children. The key is prayer; as the Gospa says, "consecrate your time to God, and then he will bestow gifts upon you and bless you."
Application:
Today, offer the rosary for the intention that God provide = for all your needs, and that you may more deeply understand his love.
Medjugorje Day By Day May 04 - Follow the way of holiness
"We who nourish ourselves with the Body and Blood of the crucified and risen Lord, cannot keep this 'gift' to ourselves; on the contrary we must share it.
Passionate love for Christ leads to courageous proclamation of Christ; proclamation which, with martyrdom, becomes a supreme offering of love for God and for mankind. The Eucharist leads us to be generous evangelizers, actively committed to building a more just and fraternal world" (Pope John Paul II, February 22, 2005).
Mother Teresa
Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
May Mary be the star which shines on your path, and May she show you the safe way to reach the Heavenly Father. May she be like an anchor to which you must be more closely attached in time of trial.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
The dulling of conscience!
"The inner workings of the mind are quite different in the good doing wrong and the evil doing evil. In the latter, a hardening process sets in. Conscience first shouts; then, after repeated choking it becomes so weak it can only whisper; finally, its voice is stifled altogether. Since such people willed to have no moral law except of their own making, God leaves them alone. It is terrible for the soul when God pursues it and drives it to perfection; but it is more terrible still when He leaves the soul to its own conceits."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
At a certain point, there came to me the very powerful impression that I am rejected by God. This terrible thought pierced my soul right through; in the midst of the suffering my soul began to experience the agony of death. I wanted to die but could not. The thought came to me: Of what use is it to strive for virtues; why mortify oneself when all this is disagreeable to God? When I made this known to the Directress of Novices, I received this reply, "Know, dear Sister, that God has chosen you for great sanctity. This is a sign that God wants to have you very close to Himself in Heaven. Have great trust in the Lord Jesus."
That dreadful thought of being rejected by God is the actual torture suffered by the damned. I fled to Jesus' Wounds and repeated the words of trust, but these words became for me an even greater torture. I went before the Blessed Sacrament, and I began to speak to Jesus: "Jesus, You said that a mother would sooner forget her infant than God His creature, and that 'even if she would forget her infant, I, God, will never forget My creature.'
O Jesus, do You hear how my soul is moaning? Deign to hear the painful whimpers of Your child. I trust in You, O God, because heaven and earth will pass, but Your word will last forever." Still I found not a moment of relief. (23b)
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.
May 4 - FOLLOW THE WAY OF HOLINESS
In this monthly message, the Gospa urges us to holiness:
"Dear Children, I beseech you to follow the way of holiness from this day onward. I love you and therefore I wish you to be holy. Do not let Satan block you on this path.
Dear children, pray and accept all that God is offering you on a way which is bitter. But at the same time, God will reveal every sweetness to those who travel this path; he will gladly answer whenever you call on him. Do not attach importance to petty things, but long for heaven." (Monthly Message July 25, 1987).
Paul echoes this call to holiness:
Pursue peace with everyone, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord (Heb 12:14).
Reflection:
Both Paul and Our Lady call us to holiness today, to become more and more the reflection of Christ.
Referring to this transformation, the philosopher Blais Pascal wrote, "The serene, silent beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world, next to the might of God."
The Blessed Mother provides the means to holiness in her message today: prayer, acceptance of God's grace, refusing to give importance to the petty things in life, and last, keeping the goal of heaven in sight. She urges us on in our journey, promising that, "God will reveal every sweetness to those who travel this path; and he will gladly answer whenever you call on him."
Application:
Today, try to put into practice this advice from Cardinal Manning: "Holiness consists not in doing uncommon things, but in doing all common things with an uncommon fervor".
Fair use 17 U.S.C. for those in the African Diaspora who would otherwise not be exposed to such. See: http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/2corinthians/2corinthians10.htm
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!
