FOR THE LITURGICAL CHURCH MEMBERS ONLY (AND OTHERS WHO BELIEVE. TEST! DISCERN THE SPIRIT! )

From Jo Ann Riggio, RN I Extend the Baptism of Truth to you. Please accept it and pass it on.

Dear friends and family,

I extend the Baptism of Truth to you with all of my heart and love. Please accept it. Let me expain:

Sept 14-16, 09 I went on a pilgrimage to Holy Love, Maranantha Springs in Elyria Ohio. I have been there many times before. (www.holylove.org) It is an Ecumenical apparition site where Our Lady appears to a visionary as well as Jesus and some of the saints.

During the apparition, Our Lady invited those present to accept the Baptism of Truth, which I did as I was present on the United Hearts Field at the time. An angel was given to those who accepted this Baptism of Truth to guard the Truth in their hearts. Therefore, I believe I received one.

The other day , I received messages from Holy Love regarding the Baptism of Truth via their website. There are two messages for September 18, 2009. (www.holylove.org). In the first message, Our Lady says, "Those who were here present can now extend this Baptism of Truth to others simply by desiring to do so in their own heart. It can be multiplied and proliferated by all who recieve it." .......

The second message is from Jesus, He says , " ....I want to help you understand that the Baptism of Truth which you received in the field of the United Hearts on the Feast of My Mother's Sorrows, can change the heart of the world if proliferated with zeal. Do so then with Holy Love in your hearts."....
So my dear friends and family, I , with love in my heart and all the zeal within me extend this Baptism of Truth to you. Please accept it and pass it on to those you know and love and ask them to do the same. Together, with Jesus and Mary, let us all change the heart of the world! AMEN!

With all my love,

Jo Ann Riggio, RN

PS: Please go to the website (www.holylove.org) for the complete messages of September 18, 2009. May you be blessed abundantly.

September 18, 2009

Blessed Mother says: "Praise be to Jesus."

"In this country, truth has become so compromised that people do not know truth from fiction. That is why I extended to everyone the Baptism of Truth on My Feast of Sorrows. Those who were here present* can now extend this Baptism of Truth to others by simply desiring to do so in their own heart. It can be multiplied and proliferated by all who receive it. The angels given to My children in the Field of the United Hearts on the night of the apparition will not be multiplied with each Baptism of Truth, but will continually guard the truth in the hearts of those who had received angels at the apparition that night."

"You will make this known."

* Blessed Mother is referring to those pilgrims present in the United Hearts Field at the time of Her apparition.

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!

"I love you all"

Dear Friends,

Duty to Live in the Light

Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the disobedient. So do not be associated with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light, for light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth. Try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness; rather expose them, for it is shameful even to mention the things done by them in secret; but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that becomes visible is light.

Therefore, it says: "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light." Watch carefully then how you live, not as foolish persons but as wise, making the most of the opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not continue in ignorance, but try to understand what is the will of the Lord. Ephesians 5:6-17

Below I give you the message of Our Blessed Mother received by Joseph. She spoke to him in these words,

"I bless you, My children, and with your faith in Jesus, My Son, and your great love for Him, you are truly the children of light. Do not listen to the empty arguments of those who do not believe in God and do not honor Me; these are still in darkness and working with the evil one.

You are blessed if you obey My Son and live in His light. Learn how to please Him in your daily life. I call you to prayer every day and to go to church on Sunday and on weekdays too if it is possible. Through prayer and good works you will remain close to Jesus and to Me. Follow the commandments of God and you will truly be the beloved of the Father.

Remember the days are evil so be watchful that you do not fall into sin. The darkness is spreading over many parts of the world because the evil one has taken over these areas. Do not be discouraged over this, but let your light shine even stronger. United with My Son Jesus, you can overcome any pressure from the evil one. Unite with your fellow Christians to be a force for good in the world. I love you all."

"Pray with great love"

Dear Friends,

Prayers for the Readers

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine, by the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21

Yesterday we had sunshine in the morning but it clouded over in the afternoon and rain started in the evening. It was windy the whole night and it is still windy this morning. It will rain for most of the day today.

I celebrated a Healing Mass last evening at the little shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island for all those who are here on retreat. The Holy Spirit was very active and He touched many who took part. The retreat will end today at noon and so far it went very well. I will soon get ready to go to Argentina for my third visit to that beautiful country. It is now the Spring season in Argentina while here it is the Fall season.

Below you will find the message of our dear Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,

"A Christian is one who prays. If a person should say that he or she is a Christian and does not pray, that person is a liar. How important it is, therefore, that you pray regularly every day.

I gave you the prayer 'The Our Father' and you should pray this prayer often during the day. All need to honor and worship the Father every day as the first part of this prayer makes clear. Then you should ask the Father for what you need. In this prayer you ask for the food you need as everything comes from the Father. You also ask Him for forgiveness for all your sins as you forgive those who sin against you. If you refuse to forgive those who hurt you in any way, how can your Father forgive you for all the sins you have committed against Him? So forgive all those who have sinned against you.

Ask for His help to avoid sin because you are weak and without the grace of God you cannot avoid falling into sin. The Father, though, is always ready to give you the strength and the graces you need every day. Pray the Our Father with all your heart and mean what you are saying. Do not race through your prayers like a parrot but pray with great love to your Father who loves you. I bless you all."

Father Melvin

"I dwell among you"
Dear Friends,

One in Christ

Therefore, remember that at one time you, Gentiles in the flesh, called the uncircumcision by those called the circumcision, which is done in the flesh by human hands, were at that time without Christ, alienated from the community of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have become near by the blood of Christ.

For he is our peace, he who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of enmity, through his flesh, abolishing the law with its commandments and legal claims, that he might create in himself one new person in place of the two, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile both with God, in one body, through the cross, putting that enmity to death by it.

He came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near, for through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone. Through him the whole structure is held together and grows into a temple sacred in the Lord; in him you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. Ephesians 2:11-22

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,

"The Jewish Nation had been chosen by God to come and know the Father, to worship Him and to follow the Ten Commandments given to them by the Father through Moses on Mount Sinai. They were the chosen people from whom the Savior was to be born. God had chosen as My Mother the Virgin Mary who is today your Mother too. However, My people rejected Me and condemned Me to death nailing Me to a cross to die.

I was sent to the world to redeem all the people of the world. It was the Gentiles that accepted Me and believed in Me. The Apostles were sent to them to bring them into My Church. They are the glory of My Church as many saints have come from them. The Church today is made up of converted Gentiles who believe in Me and accept Me as their head. May you continue to dwell with Me and grow in holiness every day of your life. I dwell among you and with joy I give you the graces you need."

"My mercy will never end"

Dear Friends,

Generosity of God's Plan

You were dead in your transgressions and sins in which you once lived following the age of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the disobedient. All of us once lived among them in the desires of our flesh, following the wishes of the flesh and the impulses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest.

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, brought us to life with Christ (by grace you have been saved), raised us up with him, and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so no one may boast. For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them. Ephesians 2:1-10

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,

"I pour My love and mercy upon you, My brothers and sisters. Even when you are in sin I do not stop showing you My mercy. By grace I raised you up from sin and, if you remain close to Me, you will be seated with Me in heaven one day. My grace is a free gift from Me and I am very generous with all My gifts.

Mercy is the perfection of love and I am rich in mercy. I know that without My grace you cannot avoid sin so My grace is always there for you if you open your heart to receive this gift. I suffered and died on the cross to pay the price for your sins and to be able to fill you with My mercy and love.

Come to Me with a humble heart and you will be renewed in My love. My heart is on fire for you and all I wish is that you return this love every day. If I show mercy to you then you in turn must show mercy to all those you meet. You must not hate anyone or be angry with anyone. Be like your Father who lets the sun shine on every person good or bad. Pray for sinners that they might stop sinning and embrace Me as their Savior. I want the conversion of every person on earth so they can be with Me forever in heaven. My mercy will never end while you are on earth. I love you."

Father Melvin

"I love you all"

Dear Friends,

The Church as Christ's Body

Therefore, I, too, hearing of your faith in the Lord Jesus and of your love for all the holy ones, do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him.

May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe, in accord with the exercise of his great might, which he worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens, far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the one to come.

And he put all things beneath his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way. Ephesians 1:15-23

Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,

"It is a fact that I died on the cross in great suffering for your redemption and now I am in heaven sitting at the right hand of the Father as your leader and Savior. I founded My Church and I am the head of the Church. I appointed St. Peter as My first Vicar to be in charge of My Church on earth. All his successors have the same power that he had and all are to be respected by all the members of the Church for they represent Me.

The Church is My Mystical Body and each member of the Church is part of My Body. If I live in your heart then you are part of Me and all the graces that come from Me flow into you. I want My Body to grow all the time with new members entering every day.

I want My Body to be strong by your deep faith and your great love. Be an active member of My Mystical Body, the Church, by going to church regularly and taking an active part in the celebration of My Sacrifice on the Cross. Come and receive Me with great respect and devotion and you will be blessed. I love you all, My brothers and sisters."

[Fr. Doucette: 338] Fri, Oct 09, 2009: "Go to adoration"

Friday, October 09, 2009
"Go to adoration"
Dear Friends,

Jesus said: “Well did Isaiah prophesy about you when he said, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines human precepts.’” Matthew 15:7–9

I quote again from the messages of Jesus addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him saying,

“I love the person with a sincere heart that only believes the truth and expresses his or her deep faith in prayer and in loving everyone. Some honor Me with a selfish motive just to show off but their heart is far from Me. They are more interested in the things of this world than the things of God. Others make out that they are worshiping Me but they simply care about themselves. They do not teach My doctrine, which I brought you when I came into the world. They only teach human doctrines, which are only based on what they see. Most of what they teach is false. One false doctrine that is taught is that freedom means to do whatever you wish. True freedom means that you are free to do what is right and to follow the truth.

Look, My dear friends, at how I acted when I was in the world. I truly honoured My Father and followed His will in all things. I followed Him completely right to My death on the cross.

I never committed a sin during My whole life in the world. I call you all to honour the Father as I did. I also worshipped Him in prayer spending whole nights in prayer as I did on the mountain. I loved to take time every day to be with Him. Your greatest act as a creature of God is to worship the Father with all your heart. You owe the Father thanks for everything because He gave you everything you have. Come and thank Him for all He does for you.

There are many, though, that instead of worshipping the Father, insult Him and commit all kinds of sins against Him. You, who love the Father, make reparation for all these horrible sins committed against Him every day. Go to adoration and pray the rosary to repair the damage that these people have done. Show your Heavenly Father that you love Him with all your heart and even if you should fall, you will ask pardon for all your sins and never stop worshipping Him and loving Him.”

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 11 - WHEN SUFFERINGS COME

"Many problems darken the horizon of our time. We need but think of the urgent need to work for peace, to base relationships between peoples on solid premises of justice and solidarity, and to defend human life from conception to its natural end. And what should we say of the thousand inconsistencies of a 'globalized' world where the weakest, the most powerless and the poorest appear to have so little hope!

It is in this world that Christian hope must shine forth! For this reason too, the Lord wished to remain with us in the Eucharist, making his presence in meal and sacrifice the promise of a humanity renewed by his love" (Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 20).

Mother Teresa -
Sacrifice, to be real, must cost; it must hurt; it must empty us of self.
Let us free our minds from all that is not Jesus.
If you find it difficult to pray, ask Him again and again, " Jesus, come into my heart, pray in me and with me, that I may learn from you how to pray. "

Meditations by Padre Pio - Do not fear as regards to your spirit: they are tricks, treats and signs of predilection on the part of the heavenly Spouse who wants to make you similar to Him. Jesus sees the disposition and good will of your soul, which is excellent, and He accepts and rewards this, and not your incapability's and inabilities, so be tranquil.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
The practicality of truth

" Speculative truth is very easy to accept, e.g., London is the capital of England. The reason is because it does not in any way involve a change in our conduct. It makes no practical difference to our lives. But the truth of morality, such as purity, justice and prudence and charity are not so easy for acceptance, because they often demand a revolution in our behavior.

That is why men are more willing to accept objections against a principle of morality than against a theory of science. Our Divine Lord referred to the difficulty of accepting practical truths when He said: `You will not come to Me because your lives are evil' (cf. John 5: 19-47). "

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Once after Holy Communion, I heard these words: You are Our dwelling place. At that moment, I felt in my soul the presence of the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I felt that I was the temple of God. I felt I was a child of the Father. I cannot explain all this, but the spirit understands it well. O infinite Goodness, how low You stoop to Your miserable creature! (451)

I knew, more distinctly, than ever before, the Three Divine Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But their being, their equality, and their majesty are one. My soul is in communion with these Three; but I do not know how to express this in words; yet my soul understands it well. Whoever is united to One of the Three Persons is thereby united to the whole Blessed Trinity, for this Oneness is indivisible.

This vision, or rather, this knowledge filled my soul with unimaginable happiness, because God is so great. What I am describing I did not see with my eyes, as on previous occasions, but in a purely interior manner, in a purely spiritual way, independent of the senses. This continued until the end of Holy Mass.

This now happens often to me, and not only in the chapel, but also at work and at times when I least expect it. (472)

OCT 11 - WHEN SUFFERINGS COME

The Blessed Mother urges us today to offer our sufferings to God :

Dear children, this evening I especially call you to perseverance in trials. Reflect on how the Almighty is still suffering today on account of your sins. So when sufferings come, offer them up as a sacrifice to God. (Weekly Message March 29, 1984).

In his first letter, Peter speaks of victory over suffering:

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you are sharing Christ's sufferings, so that you may be glad and shout for joy when his glory is revealed (1 Pt 4 :12-13).

Reflection:

Viktor Frankl, one of the great psychotherapists of our times, addresses the

Frankl says the deciding difference was faith. It was faith that gave their lives and thus their suffering ultimate meaning. This faith put them in touch with a power that helped them maintain their humanity even in the face of incredible

inhumanity.
Application:

Our Lady says to us today, "When suffering come, offer them up as a sacrifice to God."

The following prayer, An Offering of Suffering, was written in that spirit :

O my Lord Jesus Christ, I lift up my heart to you in my suffering and ask for your comforting help. I know that you would withhold the thorns of this life if I could attain eternal life without them. And so I commend myself to your loving mercy, accepting this suffering in your name. Grant me the grace to bear it and to offer it in union with your sufferings.

Regardless of the suffering that may come my way, let me trust you always, for you are my Lord, my God, and my All. Amen.

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 10 - PRAY THAT YOUR LIVES BENEFIT ALL

"This Fountain [of the Holy Eucharist] is a fountain of light, shedding abundant rays of truth. And beside it the angelic powers from on high have taken their stand, gazing on the beauty of its streams, since they perceive more clearly than we the power of what lies before us and its unapproachable dazzling rays" (St. John Chrysostom).

Mother Teresa -
It doesn't matter because I belong so totally to Him that He can do just what He wants to do with me.

Meditations by Padre Pio - Be tranquil as far as your soul is concerned. Confide totally, more and more, in Jesus. Make an effort to unite yourself always and in everything to Divine Will, both in happy and sad events, and don't worry about the future.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Two kinds of truth

"There are two kinds of truth; speculative and practical. Speculative truth is the truth of knowing, such as comes to us from philosophy, mechanics, physics and chemistry. Practical truth, however, is concerned with doing and living, such as ethics and morals."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Once, the Image was being exhibited over the altar during the Corpus Christi procession [June 20, 1935]. When the priest exposed the Blessed Sacrament, and the choir began to sing, the rays from the Image pierced the Sacred Host and spread out all over the world. Then I heard these words: These rays of mercy will pass through you, just as they have passed through this Host, and they will go out through all the world. At these words, profound joy invaded my soul. (441)

Once when my confessor [Father Sopocko] was saying Mass, I saw, as usual, the Child Jesus on the altar, from the time of the Offertory. However, a moment before the Elevation, the priest vanished from my sight, and Jesus alone remained. When the moment of the Elevation approached, Jesus took the Host and the chalice in His little hands and raised them together, looking up to heaven, and a moment later I again saw my confessor. I asked the Child Jesus where the priest had been during the time I had not seen him. Jesus answered, In My Heart. But I could not understand anything more of these words of Jesus. (442)

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.

Oct 10 - PRAY THAT YOUR LIVES BENEFIT ALL

Today Our Lady asks that our lives be an example of good for others:

Dear children, I invite you to pray with the heart so that your prayer may be a true conversation with God.

I ask that each one of you dedicate more time to God, for Satan is strong and wants to deceive you in many ways. Therefore, dear children, pray every day that your lives be a source of goodness not only for your own benefit, but also for all those you meet I am with you and I am protecting you even though Satan wants to destroy my plans and all that the heavenly Father wishes to accomplish here (Monthly Message September 25, 1990.)

And at the Last Supper, Jesus sets an example for his apostles:

After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? You call me teacher and Lord and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you?" (Jn 13 :12-15).

Application:

Today, try to be especially aware of your influence on others, and the kind of influence Our Lord and his Mother would like you to be

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 08 - DISCOVER HIS WILL FOR YOU

"I thirst for Heaven and for the Eucharist. I thirst for love. I thirst for
you who are the Life of my life. I thirst for you who are as an Ocean of
hope to me, a river to bring me infinite graces, the profound source of the
science of the Cross, and the spring of every consolation and the fountain of all
that is pure" Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God).

Mother Teresa -
Total surrender to God must come in small details just as it comes in big details. It's nothing but that single word, " Yes, I accept whatever you give, and I give whatever you take. "

Meditations by Padre Pio - I have nothing to complain of in particular, except this bitter agitation of your, which prevents you from tasting al the sweetness of the cross. Correct this, and continue to do what you have been doing so well up to now.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen - Though He Who was rich became poor for our sake, yet He would not be an earthly king by force. A poor blind man could stop Him on the roadway to be cured of his blindness, but not all the masses with their universal acclaim and suffrage could make Him king. Then He laid His finger on their error, `You seek Me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied' (John 6: 26). They sought Him not for the higher part of their being, but for their stomachs; not for His morality, but for their economics; not for His saving grace, but because of the dormancy of the spiritual in their souls."

Beware of those who promise the world!

"When loaves are more valued than the Divine Power Which multiplied them; when streams are more admired than the fountains that produced them, the world will accept any kind of a king who promises bread and plenty."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
Jesus likes to intervene in the smallest details of our life, and He often fulfills secret wishes of mine that I sometimes hide from Him, although I know that from Him nothing can be hidden. There is a custom among us of drawing by lot, on New Year's Day, special Patrons for ourselves for the whole year. In the morning during meditation, there arose within me a secret desire that the Eucharistic Jesus be my special Patron for this year also, as in the past. But, hiding this desire from my Beloved,

I spoke to Him about everything else but that. When we came to refectory for breakfast, we blessed ourselves and began drawing our patrons. When I approached the holy cards on which the names of the patrons were written, without hesitation I took one, but I didn't read the name immediately as I wanted to mortify myself for a few minutes.

Suddenly, I heard a voice in my soul: I am your patron. Read. I looked at once at the inscription and read, "Patron for the year 1935-the Most Blessed Eucharist." My heart leapt with joy, and I slipped quietly away from the sisters and went for a short visit before the Blessed Sacrament, where I poured out my heart. But Jesus sweetly admonished me that I should be at that moment together with the sisters. I went immediately in obedience to the rule. (360)

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.

OCT 8 - DISCOVER HIS WILL FOR YOU

Today the Virgin speaks of conversion and the will of God :

Dear children, today I want to thank you for all your sacrifices and prayers. I give you my special motherly blessing.

I call each of you to decide for God. From day to day , discover His will for you in prayer. I wish, dear children, to call all of you to full conversion so that there may be joy in your hearts (Monthly Message June 25, 1990).

And in John's gospel, Jesus also speaks of doing the will of God :

Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me I will never drive away; for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me (Jn 6 :37-38).

Reflection:

…So the prayer to say most often is, first of all,"

God, please tell me what you want." And second, "

Give me the strength to do your will."

Application:

In our gospel reading today, Christ said, "I have come down from heaven not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me." And the Blessed Mother has urged us to "discover God's will for you in prayer." To this end, offer the following prayer today by St. Jane Frances de Chantal :

Lord, what is your will that I do? I am completely open to your plan for me. I desire to live only in you and to be guided by you forever. Grant that your holy will be carried out perfectly in me.

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 09 - MANY HAVE BEGUN BUT THEY FORGET

"God waits for us. ... In this very moment when we are celebrating the Eucharist, when we are inaugurating the Synod on the Eucharist, He comes to meet us.
... Will this find a reply? Or does it happen with us as with the vineyard, about which God says in Isaiah: 'He expected it to yield fine grapes; wild grapes were all it yielded'? Is our Christian life often not perhaps rather vinegar than wine? Is it self-pity, conflict, indifference? " (Pope Benedict XVI, Oct. 2, 2005).

Mother Teresa -

And this is just a simple way for us to be holy.

Meditations by Padre Pio - I beg you not to worry about what I am suffering at present and will suffer in the future. No matter how severe this suffering is, when it is placed before the good that awaits us, it is always a delight for the soul.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -

Pride is the child of ignorance

"Our hatred of a person often decreases as we learn to know him better. A boy graduating from high school is generally not as humble as when he graduates from medical school. At eighteen he thought he knew it all; at twenty-eight he feels himself ignorant in the face of the medical science he has yet to acquire. So it is with God. Because we do not pray or contemplate or love Him, we become vain and proud; but when we know Him better we feel a deep sense of dependence which tempers our false independence. Pride is the child of ignorance, humility the offspring of knowledge."

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian. org/directory_ flash.html -
Often during Mass, I see the Lord in my soul; I feel His presence which pervades my being. I sense His divine gaze; I have long talks with Him without saying a word; I know what His divine Heart desires, and I always do what will please Him the most. I love Him to distraction, and I feel that I am being loved by God. At those times when I meet with God deep within myself, I feel so happy that I do not know how to express it.

Such moments are short, for the soul could not bear it for long, as separation from the body would be inevitable. Though these moments are very short, their power, however, which is transmitted to the soul, remains with it for a very long time. Without the least effort,

I experience the profound recollection which then envelops me-and it does not diminish even if I talk with people, nor does it interfere with the performance of my duties. I feel the constant presence of God without any effort of my soul I know that I am united with Him as closely as a drop of water is united with the bottomless ocean. (411)

When I was attending Mass in a certain church with another sister, I felt the greatness and majesty of God; I felt the church was permeated by God. His majesty enveloped me and, though it terrified me, it filled me with peace and joy. I knew that nothing could oppose His will. Oh, if only all souls knew who is living in our churches, there would not be so many outrages and so much disrespect in these holy places! (409)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY

Oct 9 - MANY HAVE BEGUN BUT THEY FORGET

Decrying the lack of perseverance of some, the Madonna once said :

Many have begun to pray for healing here at Medjugorje, but when they return to their homes, they abandon prayer, forget, and also lose many graces (Special Messages September 12, 1986).

Paul also exhorts us to persevere :

Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the holy ones (Eph 6:18)

Reflection:

The virtue of perseverance is exemplified in the life of a man who went blind at the age of three, in the year 1812. When he was old enough, he was sent to a school for the blind in Paris, which was near to his village. There Louis was taught to read by touching large raised letters of the alphabet with his fingers.

He was so successful that he soon found himself teaching others to read by the same method.

But it was not easy. Some people just could not do it, so he determined to invent another method by which blind people could read. He worked and persevered for many a long hour to try to perfect a special alphabet for the blind. When Louis Braille was 20 years old he succeeded.

Application:

"Great works are performed not by strength" wrote Samuel Johnson, "but by perseverance. " It is a great Christian virtue, as both Christ and Our Lady attest in our readings.

Today, and especially when you feel drained or weakened, pray for perseverance.

Medjugorje Day By Day Oct 07 - Our Lady of the Rosary

Idea inspired by Ecclesia de Eucharistia to help celebrate the Year of the
Eucharist:
"Lord to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life" (Jn
6:68)."Here [in the Holy Eucharist] is the Church's treasure, the heart of the world,
the pledge of the fulfilment for which each man and woman, even unconsciously,
yearns" (59). Plan a parish mission on the awesome gift of the Holy Eucharist
and graces and benefits of Eucharistic Adoration for all.

"During Our Lord's earthly life, 'He went about doing good, and healing . ..' (Acts 10:38). These works of love He still performs in our souls through the Holy Eucharist" (Fr. Lukas Etlin, O.S.B.).

Mother Teresa -
To be holy doesn't mean to do extraordinary things, to understand big things, but it is a simple acceptance, because I have given myself to God, because I belong to Him my total surrender.
He could put me here. He could put me there.
He can use me. He can not use me.

Meditations by Padre Pio - I truly feel my heart bursting from my breast on hearing of your suffering. What wouldn't I do to see you relieved of it. But why are you so anxious? Why are you so restless? Come on, my dear daughter, I have never seen Jesus grant you so many jewels as He does now. I have never seen you so dear to Jesus as you are now. So why do you tremble and fear? Your fear and trembling is similar to that of a child in the arms of its mother. So your fear is useless and silly.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
We are only free when we know the truth!
" The only ones who are truly free from the bondage and the burden of self are those who hold to a truth. `The truth will make you free,' said Our Divine Lord (John 8: 32). Only the boxer who knows the truth about fighting is free to stay on his feet. Only the one who knows the truths of engineering is free to build to build a bridge that will stand. The lover of truth is under an eternal law of rectitude; as he submits to it, he enjoys peace. Truth is not something that we invent; if we do, it is a lie; rather truth is something we discover, like love. "

St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html - One evening as I entered my cell, I saw the Lord Jesus exposed in the monstrance under the open sky, as it seemed. At the feet of Jesus I saw my confessor, and behind him a great number of the highest ranking ecclesiastics, clothed in vestments the like of which I had never seen except in this vision; and behind them, groups of religious from various orders; and further still I saw enormous crowds of people, which extended far beyond my vision

. I saw the two rays coming out from the Host, as in the image, closely united but not intermingled; and they passed through the hands of my confessor, and then through the hands of the clergy and from their hands to the people, and then they returned to the Host... and at that moment I saw myself once again in the cell which I had just entered. (344)

That same day, when I was in church waiting for confession, I saw the same rays issuing from the monstrance and spreading throughout the church. This lasted all through the service. After the Benediction. [the rays shone out] to both sides and returned again to the monstrance. Their appearance was bright and transparent like crystal. I asked Jesus that He deign to light the fire of His love in all souls that were cold. Beneath these rays a heart will grow warm even if it were like a block of ice; even if it were hard as a rock, it will crumble into dust. (370)

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.

Message of September 25, 2003

"Dear children! Also today I call you to come closer to my heart. Only in this way, will you comprehend the gift of my presence here among you. I desire, little children, to lead you to the heart of my Son Jesus; but you resist and do not desire to open your hearts to prayer. Again, little children, I call you not to be deaf but to comprehend my call, which is salvation for you. Thank you for having responded to my call."

OCT 7 - OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY

Of the rosary, Our Lady said :

Dear children, today I invite you to begin to pray the rosary with a living faith. Only in that way will be able to help you. You wish to receive graces, but you do not pray. I am not able to help you if you do not decide to begin.

I invite you, dear children, to pray the rosary in such a way that it will be a commitment for you, achieved in joy. In this way, you will understand the reason why I have been with you for such a long time. I want to teach you to pray (Weekly Message June 12, 1986).

In Luke's gospel, the risen Christ joins his disciples on the road to Emmaus :

Then he said to them, "Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?" Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures.

As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, "Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over." So he went to stay with them. When he was at the table with them he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.

Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?" That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together (Lk 24 :25-33).

Reflection:

In this story we find that the risen Christ "interpreted for them every passage of scripture which referred to him," so that his disciples would understand the meaning of his life, death, and resurrection.

In meditating on the mysteries of the rosary, Jesus also helps us to interpret and understand the meaning of his life and death. And today Our Lady as well says to, "let the faithful meditate each day on the life of Jesus while praying the rosary." It is not necessary to concentrate on the repetitive prayers of the rosary (which serve as a type of mantra), but to let the quiet rhythm of the prayers keep us centered on the particular mystery on which we are meditating.

The more we reflect on the lives of Jesus and Mary through the mysteries, the more we become like them in mind and heart. By means of the rosary, the Spirit of God gradually transfigures our hearts and minds to resemble those of Christ and his Mother.

Application:

Pray the scriptural rosary if you have a book with the verses, or if not, pray the traditional rosary truly from the heart, "meditating on the life of Jesus," as Mary asks of us.

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!
