METAPHYSICAL PROPOSAL ON THE MODE OF USING HAWTHORN
FOR THE COMING PLAGUES…HAWTHORN
(QUESTION FOR DISCERNMENT- Is this swine flu ? H1n1? Sars? Bird flu? You do the prayerful research!)
As given by our BLESSED MOTHER MARYAM, August 5, 1880:
"There will be a grave illness which human science will not be able to
alleviate. This illness will attack firstly the heart, then the spirit, and at
the same time, the tongue. It will be horrible.
The heat accompanying it will be a devouring fire insupportable and so intense that the members of the body affected will be red -- an unendurable fiery red. At the end of seven days this
disease, sown like a seed in the field (incubation period) will spread
everywhere rapidly and make great progress."
"My children, here is the ONLY remedy which could save you. You are familiar with the Hawthorn which grows practically in all hedges.
The leaves of the Hawthorn, not the wood, can arrest the progress of this disease."
"You will gather the leaves, not the wood. Even dry, they will keep their efficacy.
You will put them into boiling water and leave them there for 14 minutes, covering the receptacle so that the steam remains therein.
At the onset of this disease, one must use this remedy three times a day."
"This disease will produce a continual vomiting and nausea. If the remedy is taken too late, the part of the body affected will become black and in the black there will be seen a sort of pale, yellow streak."
NO ONE HAS TO BELIEVE ANYTHING! TEST. DISCERN THE SPIRIT!
A SLIGHT CHANGE FOR CHILDREN- 8 MINUTES)
Note: It is a tradition that the Hawthorn was the plant from which Pilate’s Roman soldiers wove the CROWN OF THORNS.

Daily Consecration to the Eternal Father
For the greater glory of God and for the salvation of all, I consecrate myself to You, O' Eternal Father, as one of Your faithful remnant. Behold, I come to do Your Will. With the help of Your Grace, I will keep Your Commandments. I will love and reverence You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. I will love my neighbor as You love me.
I make this Consecration through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Your beloved Son, Jesus.
O' Eternal Father, send forth Your Holy Spirit to restore my/our broken image and likeness of You. Send forth also Your entire Heavenly Court, all the celestial choirs of Your angels and all Your Saints, to aid me/us in my/our struggle against all the forces of evil in this present darkness. Amen. (Adapted from the Father of All Mankind Apostolate).
The Lord's Prayer
How many of us have said the “Our Father” with so little thought, so little reverence, and so little fruitfulness? However, when we are open to the Holy Spirit within us and pray from the heart, look at what can happen:"
Our Father, (“Our” Father—not “My” Father - all of God’s children of all races, all colors & all creeds)
Our Father, (Abba, “Daddy” God)
Who art in Heaven, (and Who art in me)
Hallowed be Thy Name. (Holy be Thy Name, praised be Thy Name, thanks be to Thy Most Holy Name)
Thy Kingdom come. (now - on earth and in me)
Thy Will be done, (now - on earth and in me)
on earth as it is in Heaven. (at the Throne of God, with the Trinity, Our Lady and all the Angels and Saints)
Give us this day our daily bread. (the Bread of your Divine Will, the Bread of Life in the Eucharist, and the bread we need to eat to sustain our bodies)
And forgive us our trespasses(forgive us our sins, our imperfections and our hesitancies in the face of temptation)
As we forgive those (or as we choose not to forgive those) who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,(for we are weak, we are worthless, we are wretched & we are nothing)
But deliver us from evil.(for it is only through your grace, not by our works alonenor our merit that we can escape eternal damnation)
Amen. (So I hope. So be it).
Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary Protectress of Africa
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Protectress of Africa, you have given to the world the true Light, Jesus Christ. Through your obedience to the Father and the grace of the Holy Spirit, you have given us the source of our reconciliation and our justice, Jesus Christ, our peace and our joy.
Mother of Tenderness and Wisdom, show us Jesus, your Son and the Son of God. Guide our path of conversion, so that Jesus might shine his glory on us in every aspect of our personal, familial and social lives.
Mother, full of Mercy and Justice, through your docility to the Spirit, the Counselor, obtain for us the grace to be witnesses of the Risen Lord, so that we will increasingly become the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Mother of Perpetual Help, we entrust to your maternal intercession the preparation and fruits of the Second Special Assembly for Africa. Queen of Peace, pray for us! Our Lady of Africa, pray for us!

PADRE PIO MESSAGES
Sept 23 Life is nothing but a continual struggle against one's self, and it does not open to beauty without the price of suffering.
Always keep Jesus company in Gethsemane and He will know how to comfort you in the hours of anguish that will come.
Sept 24 There is one thing I absolutely cannot stand and it is this: if I have to rebuke someone, I am always ready; but I cannot bear to see someone else do it. To see someone humiliated or mortified like this is unbearable for me.
Sept 25 May God be pleased to see that these poor creatures truly repent and return to Him. One must truly be a mother towards all those people and, for this reason, have great care for them, because Jesus tells us that there is more festivity in Heaven for the sinner who repents than for the perseverance of 99 just people. These words of the Redeemer are truly comforting to many souls who unfortunately sin, and who then want to repent and return to Jesus.
Sept 26 The woes of humanity: these are thoughts for everyone.
Sept 27 Don't try, excessively, to heal your heart, as your efforts would only make it more infirm. Don't make too great an effort to overcome your temptations, as this violence would only make them stronger. Despise them and don't dwell on them too much.
Sept 28 Do good everywhere, so that everyone can say: "This is a son of Christ."
Endure tribulation, sickness and pain for the love of God and for the conversion of poor sinners. Defend the weak, console those who weep.
Sept 29 Don't worry about taking up my time, because the time best spent is that spent in the sanctification of souls, and I don't know how to thank our Heavenly Father when He presents me some souls that I can help in some way.
Sept 30 Never has the thought of revenge crossed my mind. I have prayed for them (the slanderers) and I pray. Perhaps sometimes I have said to the Lord: "Lord if to convert them a punishment is necessary, then give it so that they may be saved."
Medjugorje Day By Day SEPT 27 - ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
Mother Teresa -
The aim of taking a retreat is to advance in the knowledge and love of God, to purify ourselves, and to reform and transform our lives according to the life of our model, Jesus Christ. It is not so much a looking back on the achievements and failures of the past, as a looking forward to a more generous imitation of our Lord Himself.
Meditations by Padre Pio - Don't try, excessively, to heal your heart, as your efforts would only make it more infirm. Don't make too great an effort to overcome your temptations, as this violence would only make them stronger. Despise them and don't dwell on them too much.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Mental parchments patch us to our past
" Lord Bacon and Coleridge both held that nothing that is impressed on the memory ever leaves it. This is evident in persons who in old age are brought before the scenes of their childhood, and immediately names, places and incidents come out from their storehouse of memory and the past is lived again. As old palimpsests bear the original writing under dust or new messages, so the memory retains all that we have seen and heard, said and done. Today is but the product of all our yesterdays, and our present is but the harvest of the past. The fragments of our memory are very much like islands for the moment unconnected. But it may be that they are continuous, as the solid earth itself is continuous if one did but drain off the water from the seas.
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
O my Jesus, from the moment I gave myself completely to You, I have given no thought whatsoever for myself. You may do with me whatever You like. There is only one thing I think about; that is, what do You prefer; what can I do, O Lord, to please You. I listen and watch for each opportunity. It matters not if I am outwardly judged otherwise in this matter... (1493)
Today, since early in the morning, my soul has been in darkness. I cannot ascend to Jesus, and I feel as though I have been forsaken by Him. I will not turn to creatures for light, because I know that they will not enlighten me if Jesus wills to keep me in darkness. I submit myself to His holy will and suffer. Still, the struggle is becoming more and more desperate. During Vespers, I wanted to unite myself with the sisters through prayer. (1496)
Lord, You know that since my youth I have always sought Your will and, recognizing it, have always tried to carry it out. My heart has been accustomed to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit, to whom I am faithful. In the midst of the greatest din I have heard the voice of God I always know what is going on in my interior... (1504)
Daily Quote
Humility has been regarded by the Saints as the basis and guardian of all virtues. -St.
Many saints practice mortification to progress in virtue. This term can be used to refer to any acts of self-discipline, including hardship, austerities, and penances undertaken for the sake of improving the soul.
Intention of the Day--Please pray for all teachers.
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.
SEPT 27 - ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
Speaking of her plans for us, the Blessed Virgin said:
Dear children, today I want to call all of you to start living a new life from this day on. Dear children, I want you to understand that God has chosen each of you to participate in His great plan for the salvation of mankind. You cannot comprehend how great your role is in God's design (MM 1-25-87)
St. Paul also speaks of God's plan of salvation and our responsibility to participate in it:
Therefore we must pay greater attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it. For if the message declared through angels was valid, and every transgression or disobedience received a just penalty, how can we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?
It was declared at first through the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard him, while God added his testimony by signs and wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, distributed according to his will (Hebrews 2:1-4).
Reflection:
Proclaiming the salvation of God through word and deed was the primary motivation of the life and work of St. Vincent de Paul (1581-1660). Ordained a priest in 1600, his work with the poor and his preaching attracted widespread attention. In 1625 he founded his own community, the Congregation of the Mission, dedicated to the care of the poor and the formation of priests.
Eight years later, together with St. Louise de Marillac, he founded the Sisters of Charity, whose main work was care of the sick, of orphans, and children in need.
He once said to his priests:
Do the good that presents itself to be done. I do not say we should go out indiscriminately and take on everything, but rather those things God lets us know he wants of us. We belong to him and not to ourselves. If he increases our work, he will add to our strength as well.
To all his religious he wrote, "It is our duty to prefer the service of the poor to everything else and offer such service as quickly as possible."
Application:
In her message today, the Virgin calls us to pray to discern our role in God's plan. Today, simply, pray for the grace of understanding and for the compassion to serve Christ in the poor.
Medjugorje Day By Day SEPT 26 - LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD
Message of September 25, 2005 "Dear children! In love I call you: convert, even though you are far from my heart. Do not forget, I am your mother and I feel pain for each one who is far from my heart; but I do not leave you alone. I believe you can leave the way of sin and decide for holiness. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Message of September 25, 2009
"Dear children, with joy, persistently work on your conversion. Offer all your joys and sorrows to my Immaculate Heart that I may lead you all to my most beloved Son, so that you may find joy in His Heart. I am with you to instruct you and to lead you towards eternity. Thank you for having responded to my call."
"The tender love of God for the world infused into my soul a need for
adoration, respect and love towards the Blessed Sacrament" (Mother Mary of Jesus, Foundress of the Sisters of Marie Reparatrice).

Who Is Jesus to Me?
Jesus is the Word to be spoken.
Jesus is the Truth to be told.
Jesus is the Way to be walked.
Jesus is the Light to be lit.
Jesus is the Life to be lived.
Meditations by Padre Pio - The woes of humanity: these are thoughts for everyone.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
We can overload our memories and stall
" God has blessed some people with remarkable powers of retention. It is said that Themistocles knew by heart the names of twenty thousand citizens of Athens. History records that Cyrus knew the name of every soldier in his army. On the other hand, Aristotle held that people who have such vivid memories for details never have good judgment. This may be because images pile up with such rapidity as to destroy the relation between abstract ideas which are essential for judgment. "
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
O my Jesus, although I have such very strong impulsions, I am to act on them slowly, and this only in order not to spoil Your work with my haste. O my Jesus, You give me to know Your mysteries, and You want me to transmit them to other souls. Soon now it will be possible for me to act. At the moment of apparent absolute destruction, my mission, now no longer hindered by anything, will begin. Such is the will of God in this, and it will not change; although many persons will oppose it, nothing will change God's will. (1389)
Today the Lord Jesus is giving me an awareness of Himself and of His most tender love and care for me. He is bringing me to understand deeply how everything depends on His will, and how He allows certain difficulties precisely for our merit, so that our fidelity might be clearly manifest. And through this, I have been given strength for suffering and self-denial. (1409)
So today I submit myself completely and with loving consent to Your holy will, O Lord, and to Your most wise decrees, which are always full of clemency and mercy for me, though at times I can neither understand nor fathom them. O my Master, I surrender myself completely to You, who are the rudder of my soul; steer it Yourself according to Your divine wishes. I enclose myself in Your most compassionate Heart, which is a sea of unfathomable mercy. (1450)

If we possessed every virtue, but lacked humility, those virtues would be without root and would not last. -St. Vincent de Paul
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.
SEPT 26 - LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD
The Queen of Peace speaks of love today:
Dear children, you must understand that a person has to pray. Prayer is no laughing matter, but a conversation with God himself. In every prayer, then, you must listen to the voice of God. Truly, without prayer a person cannot live. Prayer is life. (LJM 9-10-84).
In Luke's gospel, Jesus also urges us to pray:
So I say to you, ask and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. (Luke 11:9-10).
Reflection:
Prayer is by far the most frequent message given in Medjugorje, since from it flows a fountain of graces that are obtainable in no other way. For example:
Peace: "In prayer, you will find peace." (WM 7-5-84)
Joy: "By means of prayer...you will obtain joy. (MM 8-25-89)
Love: "Pray, because in prayer each one of you will be able to achieve complete love."
Holiness: "By prayer and sacrifice you will begin to live in holiness" (WM-11-13-86)
Grace: "Without prayer, dear children, you cannot experience...the graces which I offer to you." (WM 7-3-86)
Happiness: "Prayer makes one know happiness" (FY 10-20-84)
We can see why Our Lady calls us so urgently to prayer, for there are so many gifts she wishes to give us. "Before all, pray," she once told Jelena. "I say it again, pray! Know that in your life the most important thing is prayer."
Application:
Today, spend some extra time in prayer, opening your heart to receive the graces of the Holy Spirit.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
May God be pleased to see that these poor creatures truly repent and return to Him. One must truly be a mother towards all those people and, for this reason, have great care for them, because Jesus tells us that there is more festivity in Heaven for the sinner who repents than for the perseverance of 99 just people. These words of the Redeemer are truly comforting to many souls who unfortunately sin, and who then want to repent and return to Jesus.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
God demands full restitution from all
" We once received a plain, brown envelope in which there was stuffed $4,600 in bills, and to which was attached an anonymous note to the effect that the sender was making reparation for his dishonesty to an insurance company, the name and address of which was given. We sent the money to the insurance company and told them of the unjust claim that had been made against them, but the name of the one who had made the restitution remained unknown.
Regardless of how much one may have taken, and regardless of how secretly it may have been done, and regardless of how one may have justified it in his own false conscience, the Divine words still stand: `Believe Me, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.'"

Prayer. O Jesus, stretched out upon the cross, I implore You, give me the grace of doing faithfully the most holy will of Your Father, in all things, always and everywhere. And when this will of God will seem to me very harsh and difficult to fulfill, it is then I beg You, Jesus, may power and strength flow upon me from Your wounds, and may my lips keep repeating, "Your will be done, O Lord." O Savior of the world, Lover of man's salvation, who in such terrible torment and pain forget Yourself to think only of the salvation of souls, O most compassionate Jesus, grant me the grace to forget myself that I may live totally for souls, helping You in the work of salvation, according to the most holy will of Your Father.... (1265)
Jesus, my most perfect model, with my eyes fixed on You, I will go through life in Your footsteps, adapting nature to grace, according to Your most holy will and Your light which illumines my soul, trusting completely in Your help. (1351)
Sixth day. O my God, I am ready to accept Your will in every detail, whatever it may be. However You may direct me, I will bless You. Whatever You ask of me I will do with the help of Your grace. Whatever Your holy will regarding me might be, I accept it with my whole heart and soul, taking no account of what my corrupt nature tells me. (1356)

Quote of the Day
No man can attain to the knowledge of God but by humility. The way to mount high is to descend. -Bl. Giles of Assisi
Loving Mother of the Redeemer,
gate of heaven, star of the sea,
assist your people who have fallen yet strive to rise again.
To the wonderment of nature you bore your Creator,
yet remained a virgin after as before.
You who received Gabriel's joyful greeting,
have pity on us poor sinners.
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.
SEPT 25 - WITH LOVE OVERCOME EVERY SIN
The Queen of Peace speaks of love today:
Dear children, today I call you to holiness. Without holiness you cannot live. Therefore, with love overcome every sin and difficulty which comes to you. Dear children, beseech you to live love in your lives. (WM 7-10-86)
In Luke's gospel, Zacchaeus is converted through Christ's love:
When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today." So he hurried down and was happy to welcome him. All who saw it began to grumble and said, "He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner."
Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, "Look, half my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much." Then Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost." (Luke 19:5-10).
Reflection:
To finance their great world empire, the Romans levied heavy taxes against all nations under their control. The Jews opposed these taxes because they supported a secular government and its pagan gods, but they were still forced to pay. The tax collectors -- Jews by birth who chose to work for Rome -- were considered traitors among the people of Israel. Further, it was common knowledge that they enriched themselves by gouging their fellow Jews of extra tax money which they kept for themselves.
No wonder the crowds were displeased when Jesus went home with the tax collector Zacchaeus. But despite the fact that Zacchaeus was a turncoat, Christ loved him. In response, the little tax collector was converted.
In every society certain groups of people are considered `untouchable' because of their politics, their immoral behavior, or their lifestyle. It is important not to give in to social pressure to avoid these people, for they are still loved by Christ and his Mother. Like Jesus, we are called to reach out to them and convey a love and concern that will help them on the road to conversion. As Our Lady says today, "With love, overcome every sin and every difficulty that confronts you."
Application:
Today, pray for the tolerance and love to help the sinners and outcasts of your own community.
Message from Our Blessed Mother to Jorge Zavala September 16, 2009
St. Bruno’s Church, San Bruno, CA
Dear little children,
Daily you face many challenges and it is only in the light of God that you are able to discern and choose for the truth.
In these times when the truth is distorted in so many ways, you, in union with the Vicar of Christ, must be witnesses of Jesus the Truth and Light of every created being.
These are times when peace is threatened daily and it is for this reason that I send you to be a sign of the love of God, especially to those who are far from me.
I love you, my children; I give you my blessing and may the peace of the Lord remain always in your hearts.

SHARON FITZPATRICK - LOCUTIONIST
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2009
YOU HAVE COME NOW INTO PRAYER THAT HAS TAKEN ON NEW MEANING. I SHALL TAKE EACH PRAYER AND IT SHALL GO BEYOND THE HEAVENS TO THE VERY ROOT OF EVIL. I SHALL CARRY THEM TO THE FATHER AND AS HE ACCEPTS THEM THEY SHALL BE GIVEN TO MY SON! EACH PRAYER SHALL CARRY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND LIKE NO OTHER TIME THESE PRAYERS SHALL THRUST THE HEART OF EVIL CAUSING A DISTURBANCE LIKE NONE OTHER.
IT WILL BE THE HAND OF GOD THAT SHALL BRING ABOUT A STUNNING OF EMOTION AND BRING ABOUT A NEW STRENGTH TO THOSE WHO PRAY AND TRUST.
YOU ARE INDEED IN A BATTLE LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER FOUGHT BEFORE AND SO IT IS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE PROTECTION I HAVE PROMISED. WITH THE CROSS YOU SHALL CAUSE HEAVEN TO OPEN AND THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST SHALL FLOW TO ALL THOSE WHO VENERATE IT. EVIL IS REPULSED BY THE SIGHT OF JESUS?
BLOOD AND FEARS IT. THEREFORE, AS YOU ARE COVERED BY IT - YOU TOO SHALL BE FEARED. MUCH HAS BEEN DONE TO THWART THIS PROTECTION GIVEN YOU, BUT GRACE HAS ENTERED AND YOU KNOW THE TRUTH AND HAVE OVERCOME THOSE ATTEMPTS TO STOP WHAT I HAVE BEGUN. NOW PRAY. PRAY WITH DEEP LOVE AND TRUST. PUT ASIDE ANY WORRY OR ANXIETY, YOU ARE WELL CARED FOR IN THIS BATTLE OF ALL BATTLES.
TONIGHT I SAY TO YOU, I LOVE YOU. I PRAY WITH YOU AND FOR YOU. I TOO VENERATE THE CROSS AND THE WOUNDED JESUS IT HOLDS. I TOUCH THE BLOOD THAT FLOWS OUT TO ALL OF YOU AND THUS YOU HAVE IT ALL.
I DO NOT GIVE A BLESSING, BUT INSTEAD I STAND WITH YOU IN BATTLE HELPING YOU, ENCOURAGING YOU. ADORE AND PRAISE GOD DO THIS MY CHILDREN - FOREVER.
SHORT POWERFUL PRAYER THROUGH ST. JOSEPH
"Glorious St. Joseph, tender-hearted 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!
