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.

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 bless you"
Dear Friends,
St. Paul’s Example and Teaching
You have followed my teaching, way of life, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra, persecutions that I endured. Yet from all these things the Lord delivered me.
In fact, all who want to live religiously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. But wicked people and charlatans will go from bad to worse, deceivers and deceived. But you, remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it, and that from infancy you have known (the) sacred scriptures, which are capable of giving you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work. (2 Timonthy 3:10–17)
Here below is the message of Our Lord given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“St. Paul was a great Apostle who worked very hard and suffered much as he went around the various countries in the Middle East and Europe spreading My teachings and starting My Church in all these various countries. He used the Scriptures to teach and the wisdom the Father gave him to guide the faithful. He was good at refuting error, correcting any moral deviation and training the people for holiness.
You, too, are to follow My teachings and do not be afraid to stand up for the truth. You will be persecuted as I was persecuted but I will be with you to give you the strength to go through it. If you are My disciple you will live a moral life as I have taught you. You will be strong to do good work and to follow the mission I gave you. You all have a mission to accomplish, so cooperate with the graces I give you and you will succeed.
I am always there at your side to help you. Call on Me daily in prayer for what you need and I will help you. Let our loving relationship grow today and every day and you will have peace. I bless you.”
Father Melvin

"Stay close to Me"
Dear Friends,
False Asceticism
Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the last times some will turn away from the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and demonic instructions through the hypocrisy of liars with branded consciences. They forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected when received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the invocation of God in prayer. If you will give these instructions to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound teaching you have followed.
Avoid profane and silly myths. Train yourself for devotion, for, while physical training is of limited value, devotion is valuable in every respect, since it holds a promise of life both for the present and for the future. This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance. For this we toil and struggle, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the savior of all, especially of those who believe. 1 Timothy 4:1–10
Here below is the message from Our Lord addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,
It is a fact that many of My followers do not go to church anymore. They have listened to the evil one and their faith now is very weak. They are on the way to damnation if they do not wake up and come back to Me. They should be aware of the falsehood being spread all over by newspapers, television or the Internet. I am the truth and I speak but the truth. Come My people and listen to Me and to My Church.
My friends, set your hope on the living God who created you and provides for you. You need to be a person of prayer and devotion who comes to your Heavenly Father, your Blessed Mother and to Me every day. Set your hope on your God and Savior and believe in Him with all your might. There is a lot of darkness in the world today and there are many snares to catch you. Stay close to Me and you will avoid all this evil. I am your greatest friend who is always at your side to protect you if you ask My help. Come to prayer every day and go to Church regularly.
Father Melvin

"Cooperate with all the graces"
Dear Friends,
Prayer and Conduct
First of all, then, I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone, for kings and for all in authority, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity. This is good and pleasing to God our savior, who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth. For there is one God.
There is also one mediator between God and the human race, Christ Jesus, himself human, who gave himself as ransom for all. This was the testimony at the proper time. For this I was appointed preacher and apostle (I am speaking the truth, I am not lying), teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-7
Here below is the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,
All of you who have faith in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are able to pray. Prayer is the elevation of the mind and spirit to God who is the Creator of all that exists and He is the one that keeps you all in existence. He provides you with all your needs especially He gives His friends the beautiful gifts of love, peace and joy.
You are to pray for every person and all of them will pray for you. It is important to praise the Father for all He does for you. You are to give thanks to God every day that you are alive and that you live under His protection. Pray for those who govern that they may govern wisely. Pray for the Church instituted by Me to guide you all the days of your life.
Pray for the leaders of the Church that they may always remain close to Me and follow Me. Pray too for the sick and the elderly that they may have peace and be healed of any bodily sickness so they may be strong until the end. Pray for all those who do not believe that they may receive the gift of faith and believe in God with all their heart.
I told you when I was on earth to ask and you will receive. Prayer then is the means of conversation with God in order to ask for what you need. I am your mediator with the Father Almighty and I ask for only good things for you. I especially wish each one of you to have the graces you need to follow the path I traced out for you and not the one that leads to death. Cooperate with all the graces you receive and you will be blessed.
Fr. Melvin

"I love you all"
Dear Friends,
The Mystery of Our Religion
I am writing you about these matters, although I hope to visit you soon. But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth. Undeniably great is the mystery of devotion,
Who was manifested in the flesh,
vindicated in the spirit,
seen by angels,
proclaimed to the Gentiles,
believed in throughout the world,
taken up in glory.
1 Timothy 3, 14-16
Here below is the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,
When I was on earth I began the Kingdom of God and My Church is the door to the Kingdom. When the Church baptizes you, you become a member of My Church and also a member of the Kingdom of heaven. My Church is a place of devotion and prayer where the Holy Sacrifice of the Cross becomes present again on the altar.
The priest represents Me and he offers My sacrifice to the Father for the salvation of all the people of the world. This is the holiest prayer that can be celebrated on earth and all are called to attend and take part in this sacrifice, which is made present at every Mass.
The Church is the household of the living God and the pillar of truth. If you follow My Church you will never get lost and you will always be in the truth. Take to heart everything that My Church teaches you. Be an active member who loves to come to the Eucharistic Celebration and to adoration as often as possible.
The Church honors Me, your Savior, and She proclaims Me to the whole world and many in all the countries of the world believe in Me. Grow in your faith and love of Me every day through prayer and by helping the poor, the sick, the elderly and all who are suffering in any way. I am Your Redeemer who came on earth to suffer and die for you but now I am risen from the dead and your leader. I call you all to remain united with Me. I love you all.
Father Melvin
[Fr. Doucette: 366] Wed, Nov 25, 2009: Gratitude for God's Mercy
Wednesday, November 25, 2009
Gratitude for God's Mercy
Dear Friends,
I am grateful to him who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me trustworthy in appointing me to the ministry. I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and an arrogant man, but I have been mercifully treated because I acted out of ignorance in my unbelief. Indeed, the grace of our Lord has been abundant, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Of these I am the foremost. But for that reason I was mercifully treated, so that in me, as the foremost, Christ Jesus might display all his patience as an example for those who would come to believe in him for everlasting life.
To the king of ages, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. I entrust this charge to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophetic words once spoken about you. Through them may you fight a good fight by having faith and a good conscience. Some, by rejecting conscience, have made a shipwreck of their faith, among them Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme. 1 Timothy1:12-20
Here below is the message of Our Lord and Our Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,
I came into the world with the desire to save all the people of the world. I call you all to believe in Me with all your heart. I am your only Saviour who suffered and died on the Cross to take away your sins. If you repent sincerely and call upon Me daily for the graces you need, you will be strong to resist all temptations and to follow Me. If you follow your conscience enlightened by My teachings and the teachings of the Church, you will have peace of heart, which is a gift I give My friends.
The Great Apostle, St. Paul, after his conversion, became My great friend. I forgave all his sins when he repented and I called him to spread the faith among the non-Jews. He worked very well for many years until his martyrdom in Rome at the hands of the pagans. He is a great example for all to follow. His faith in Me was remarkable. Let our partnership throughout life be strong and may it persevere to eternity. I bless you all.

"Stand firm in the faith"
Dear Friends,
Give Thanks to God
But we ought to give thanks to God for you always, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in truth. To this end he has (also) called you through our gospel to possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours. May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement and good hope through his grace, encourage your hearts and strengthen them in every good deed and word. 1 Thessalonians 2:13-17
Here is a message from Our Lord and Savior addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him in these words,
Today, My brothers and sisters, there are many that are spreading falsehood instead of the truth I brought to you when I was on earth. Many do not preach the commandments of My Father but teach that all will be saved whether they follow the commandments or not. Some even preach that there is no hell although I spoke about it many times when I was on earth. This is the place for the devil and all the evil spirits and for those who refused to believe in Me and refused to repent of their sins.
My dear friends, do not listen to those who do not teach the truth but adhere completely to the teachings defined by My Church. Stand firm in the faith and believe all that the Church teaches you especially concerning My second coming, the power of the sacraments, the importance of prayer, the faithfulness to the Sunday Eucharist and the regular reception of Holy Communion.
Never forget the sacrament of My mercy, which is the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Follow all the commandments and love one another. You will be blessed.

Bring Back The Light!
Today I went to church to pray the rosary for a family member undergoing major heart surgery today and remembered all with special needs and intentions.
During my commune with Jesus, I gave thanks for His many blessings and asked speak Lord (if it be His will always), Your servant listens.
I began to see a huge stream of blue/white light that was moving quickly past me (like a vacuum) and out of sight, leaving darkness.
Then Jesus spoke saying; Only prayer and the sacraments will insure My Light will be constant, keeping darkness away. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue praying for your brothers and sisters. Amen
MEDJUGORGE MESSAGES
Message of November 25, 2009 "Dear children! In this time of grace I call you all to renew prayer in your families. Prepare yourselves with joy for the coming of Jesus. Little children, may your hearts be pure and pleasing, so that love and warmth may flow through you into every heart that is far from His love. Little children, be my extended hands, hands of love for all those who have become lost, who have no more faith and hope. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Message of November 2, 2009 "Dear children, Also today I am among you to point you to the way that will help you to come to know God's love, the love of God Who permitted you to call Him Father and to perceive Him as Father. I ask of you to sincerely look into your hearts and to see how much you love Him. Is He the last to be loved?
Surrounded by material goods, how many times have you betrayed, denied and forgotten Him? My children, do not deceive yourselves with wordly goods. Think of your soul because it is more important than the body, cleanse it. Invoke the Father, He is waiting for you. Come back to Him. I am with you because He, in His mercy, sends me. Thank you."

St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Abbot and Doctor
"The Eucharist is that love which surpasses all loves in Heaven and on earth." (St. Bernard)
Mother Teresa-
I believe that God has created each soul, that that soul belongs to God, and that each soul has to find God in its own lifetime and enter into His life. That is what is important.
All of us need to seek God and find Him.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
All human ideas, from wherever they come, can be both good and bad. One must learn to assimilate all the good and offer it to God, eliminating the bad.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
God must be the source of the humble and show it through their resources
"Before undertaking a task great or small, before making decisions, before beginning a journey, the humble will acknowledge their dependence on God and will invoke His guidance and His blessing on all their enterprises. Even though they be placed above others by vocation, or by the will of the people, they will never cease to recognize that God has made of one blood all the nations that dwell on the earth. If they are very rich they will not be `defenders of the rights of the poor' without unloading their riches in their aid."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
When we began to share the wafer, a sincere and mutual love reigned among us. Mother Superior [Irene] expressed this wish to me: "Sister, the works of God proceed slowly, so do not be in a hurry." In general, the sisters sincerely wished me great love, which is that which I desire above all. I saw that these wishes truly came from their hearts, except for one sister, who had a concealed malice in her wishes, although this did not cause me much pain, for my soul was pervaded by God.
Yet this enlightened me as to why God communicates so little with a soul of this kind, and I learned that such a soul is always seeking itself, even in holy things. Oh, how good the Lord is in not letting me go astray! I know that He will guard me, even jealously, but only as long as I remain little, because it is with such that the great Lord likes to commune. As to proud souls, He watches them from afar and opposes them. (1440)
When I was apologizing to the Lord Jesus for a certain action of mine which, a little later, turned out to be imperfect, Jesus put me at ease with these words: My daughter, I reward you for the purity of your intention which you had at the time when you acted.
My Heart rejoiced that you had My love under consideration at the time you acted, and that in so distinct a way; and even now you still derive benefit from this; that is, from the humiliation. Yes, My child, I want you to always have such great purity of intention in the very least things you undertake. (1566)

Nov 28 - FIND SOLACE IN PRAYER
A Message to Jelena and Mirijana :
Pray! It may seem strange to you that I always speak of prayer, and yet I say again, pray! Why do you hesitate? In sacred scripture you have heard it said : " Do not worry about tomorrow, for each day has worries enough of its own. " And so do not worry about other days. Find solace in prayer. I, your Mother, will take care of the rest (Locutionists Jelena & Mirjana February 29, 1984).
And in John's gospel. Assurance from Christ : I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world (Jn 16 :33).
Reflection :
One summer a young woman had been rehearsing some songs, leaving her harp before an open window. Suddenly she heard the sound of distant and very lovely music. It lasted only a few seconds and left her very puzzled. When it happened again she noticed that the sound came form the instrument and was caused by the gentle breeze from the open window playing on the harp strings.
At times of prayer we can be like that harp, by allowing sufficient calm to gather round us so that the Holy Spirit, the Breath of God, may play his music in us. But remember, it was a gentle breeze, and the music could be heard only because of the surrounding stillness.
Application :
Today, spend several minutes in silence, repeating only the names of Jesus and Mary. Let every anxiety be calmed by their power.

Each Day Is A Day For Overcoming Darkness!
On Saturday I went to confession for the start of Advent and we attended the 800AM Mass this Sunday morning at our parish, Our Lady Of Sorrows. I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed for all with special needs and intentions.
After receiving the most sacred Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the sacrament of Holy Communion, I knelt in silent thanksgiving to Jesus for all His many blessings and graces.
Then I prayed this prayer as I always do; Speak Lord (if it be His will), Your servant listens.
At once in my mind's eye, I began to see a very steep and totally dark Staircase. And I heard Jesus saying; Come, follow Me! And as I ascended the Staircase with unsure footing, I tilted my head backward so that I could look up and see the top of the Staircase, but I could not see the end of the Staircase. The Staircase appeared to be endless and it remained totally dark and I feared I would never reach the top. It was then that Jesus spoke saying:
My child, Eileen, in life My children must aspire to reach higher in their strife to find and be with Me. You must not give in to fear, anxiety or darkness in your struggle to remain in the Light! In your earthly life you must continually strive to overcome the darkness. In eternal life all struggles are over. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

YOU MUST UNDERSTAND AND TRUST THAT MY IMMACULATE HEART HAS BEEN PREPARED FOR YOU FOR THESE TIMES. IT IS A SAFE PLACE, A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN FIND PEACE AND HOPE. DISCARD THE INVITATIONS OF THE WORLD. IN THE WORLD YOU ARE INVITED TO EMPTY YOURSELVES OF PEACE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO PLACE TO FIND HOPE.
DO NOT FEAR THE WORLD, YOU MUST EXPERIENCE WHAT IS TO COME, THOUGH THROUGH THE REFUGE OF MY HEART, YOU SHALL NOT EXPERIENCE THE WOES. OH MY DEAR CHILDREN, PONDER THESE WORDS. CONSIDER THEIR MEANING AND THEN RESOLVE TO REMAIN WITH THIS MOTHER, THAT I MAY CAREFULLY TAKE YOU THROUGH THESE DREADED TIMES.

AS YOU PRAY, GENEROUSLY PRAISE AND THANK GOD. HE HAS BEEN MOST GENEROUS TO YOU.
PRAISE BE TO GOD NOW AND FOREVER.
Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 27 - 27 YOU ARE MINE
Message of November 25, 2005
"Dear children! Also today I call you to pray, pray, pray until prayer becomes life for you. Little children, at this time, in a special way, I pray before God to give you the gift of faith. Only in faith will you discover the joy of the gift of life that God has given you. Your heart will be joyful thinking of eternity. I am with you and love you with a tender love. Thank you for having responded to my call."
"The devotion to the Eucharist is the most noble because it has God as its object; it is the most profitable for salvation, because It gives us the Author of Grace; it is the sweetest, because the Lord is Sweetness Itself." (Pope St. Pius X)
Mother Teresa -
Through prayer I become one in love with Christ. I realize that praying to Him is loving Him.
For me, prayer means being united to the will of God twenty four hours a day, to live for Him, through Him, and with Him.
Meditations by Padre Pio - We must become accustomed to the sufferings which Jesus will be pleased to send us. Jesus, who cannot bear to keep you in a state of affliction at length, will come to help and comfort you, by instilling new courage in your spirit.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
Blessed are the merciful!
"Humility as it relates to others is a golden mean between blind reverence on the one hand and an overbearing insolence on the other. Humble people are not rigid exacters of things to which they have no undoubted right; they are always ready to overlook faults of others knowing that they have so many themselves. Neither are they greatly provoked at those slights which put vain persons out of patience, knowing that as we show mercy to others so shall we receive mercy from God."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html
- When, at the beginning of my religious life, following the novitiate, I began to exercise myself particularly in humility, the humiliations that God sent me were not enough for me. And so, in my excessive zeal, I looked for more of them on my own, and I often represented myself to my superiors other than I was in reality and spoke of miseries of which I had no notion. But a short time later, Jesus gave me to know that humility is only the truth. From that time on, I changed my ideas, faithfully following the light of Jesus. I learned that if a soul is with Jesus, He will not permit it to err. (1503)
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.
NOV - 27 YOU ARE MINE
Our Lady gave this message of warmth to the two young locutionists:
I hold all of you in my arms. You are mine. I need your prayers so that you may be all mine. I desire to be all yours and for you to be all mine. I receive all your prayers. I receive them with joy (Locutionists Jelena & Mirijana February 23, 1984).
And from Psalm 4:
I will both lie down and sleep in peace; For you alone, O Lord, made me lie down in safety.
Psalm 4:8
Reflection:
Right after World War II, Europe was flooded with homeless, hungry children. Thousands of scared and frightened kids were housed in refugee camps. They were lovingly cared for and adequately housed and fed. But they could not sleep; they were restless and unable to relax.
A psychologist had an idea. After the children were put to bed, they were each given a loaf of bread to hold. If they wanted more to eat, more was provided, but this particular "bedtime bread" was not to be eaten, it was just to hold. The bread produced a miracle: the children dozed off, assured that they would have something to eat tomorrow. That assurance provided calm and restful sleep.
The Blessed Mother gives such assurance. She will place bread in our hands tonight. It will be there tomorrow. What we have to hold onto is her Son. We can be at peace.
In Psalm 23 we hear, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." Other translations say, "The Lord is my shepherd, therefore I shall lack nothing." Our faith is based upon trusting the Shepherd, resting in his arms, and knowing that we will be nourished and fed. We are safe with the bread of trust in our hands.
Application:
"I hold all of you in my arms," the Mother of God says today. "You are mine. I need your prayers so that you may be all mine." Today, offer all your prayers to Mary for her intentions.
Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 26 - SURRENDER YOURSELVES TO ME
Message of November 25, 2006
"Dear children! Also today I call you to pray, pray, pray. Little
children, when you pray you are close to God and He gives you the
desire for eternity. This is a time when you can speak more about God
and do more for God.
Therefore, little children, do not resist but
permit Him to lead you, to change you and to enter into your life. Do
not forget that you are travelers on the way toward eternity.
Therefore, little children, permit God to lead you as a shepherd leads
his flock. Thank you for having responded to my call."
"The whole world" should "come together to venerate and adore Christ the
King hidden under the Sacramental species. Thus by sermons preached, by public adoration of the Blessed Sacrament exposed and by solemn processions, men unite in paying homage to Christ, whom God has given them for their King." "When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony" (Pope Pius XI).
Honor in Mary, at the foot of the Tabernacle, all the mysteries of her life,
for all these were stations, as it were, leading to the Cenacle. In Mary's
life there you will find the model and the consolation of your own life. In
the Cenacle, this august Queen kneels as adoratrix and servant of the Most
Blessed Sacrament: kneel at your Mother's side and pray with her, and in so doing, you will continue her Eucharistic Life on earth." (St. Peter Julian Eymard)
Dear Friends,
I would like to share with you some quotes from Fr. Zlatko Sudac, and Mirjana Soldo regarding the importance of living in this present moment.
In the 1999 Winter issue of Medjugorje Magazine, Fr. Zlatko, who belongs to the diocese of Krk in Croatia, was interviewed by the editors of Medjugorje Magazine. Here are some excerpts from that interview:
"...God does not love you in the past or in the future. He only loves you right now. If you always live in the past or in the future, you will never experience the love of God."
"...I asked myself and I ask you, 'Do I ever live in this moment? Do I ever live in this present moment?' I understood that the answer was no. I always feel guilt about the past and I carry concern in my heart about the future. It's the truth that I don't live in the present moment. But God is an experience of now. God is something to experience now. You can immerse yourself in Him only in this present moment."
"You're seeking spirituality. Do you know how to tell how spiritual you are? When the amount of your spirituality is equivalent to the amount of truth which you can endure about yourself without escaping it, this is a sign of deep spirituality. That's how transformation of the heart happens. Only truth can free us. And then we'll be true adorers of the Lord. We will adore the Lord in spirit and in truth."
Take care and God bless, Mike (Sumner, WA) - from http://www.iipg-queenofpeace.org
(1800 members)
Mother Teresa -
Who is the church? You and I.
The church are those who follow Jesus.
Meditations by Padre Pio - There are such sublime joys and such deep sufferings that words cannot express them. Silence is the last resort of the soul in ineffable joy as in extreme oppression.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
No one is better than the next!
"The psychological reason for the modern fondness for news which deflates others or brings out the evil in their lives, is to solace uneasy consciences which are already laden with guilt. By finding others who apparently are more evil than we, we falsely believe that we are somehow better `than the rest of men' (Luke 18: 11)."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
However, I asked my confessor what to do: whether I should continue to suffer this for the sake of sinners or ask the superiors for an exception by way of milder food. He decided that I should ask the superiors for milder food. And thus I followed his directions, seeing that this humiliation was more pleasing to God. (1429)
Today, the love of God is transporting me into the other world. I am all immersed in love; I love and feel that I am loved, and with full consciousness I experience this. My soul is drowning in the Lord, realizing the great Majesty of God and its own littleness; but through this knowledge my happiness increases... This awareness is so vivid in the soul, so powerful and, at the same time, so sweet. (1500)
I never cringe before anyone. I can't bear flattery, for humility is nothing but the truth. There is no cringing in true humility. Although I consider myself the least in the whole convent, on the other hand, I enjoy the honor of being the bride of Christ. Little matter that often I hear people say that I am proud, for I know that human judgment does not discern the motives for our actions. (1502)
Quote of the Day If you wish to prevent all evil thoughts, let your eyes be modestly reserved, and make a league with them never to desire to look upon anything which is not permitted you to desire. -St. Gregory of Nyssa
Today's Tidbit The Solemnity of Christ the King is always celebrated on the final Sunday of the Liturgical Year. This feast reminds us that Jesus ultimate place is reigning over heaven and earth at the right hand of the Father. This theme is highlighted by the readings of preparation of the end times where Christ will come again that are read in the final weeks of the Liturgical Year.
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
Nov 26 - SURRENDER YOURSELVES TO ME
Today Our Lady speaks of one of the primary messages of Medjugorje:
Dear children, I wish to tell you that I have chosen this parish. I guard it in my hands like a little flower that does not want to die.
I beseech you to surrender yourselves to me so that I can present you as a gift to God, fresh and without sin. Satan has destroyed part of my plan and wants to possess all of it. Pray that he does not succeed, for I wish you for myself so that I may continue offering you to God (Weekly Message August 1, 1985).
And from Paul's first letter to the Corinthians:
For whoever was called in the Lord as a slave is a freed person belonging to the Lord, just as whoever was free when called is a slave of Christ (1 Cor 7:22).
Reflection:
There is glory and joy in surrender to God. When we surrender to other masters we are crushed, shamed, and defeated. But when we give our lives over to God, we are glorified and find victory. An unknown poet knew the honor in this submission: "Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free."
When we abandon ourselves totally to God, we stand before him with nothing: nothing more, nothing less, and nothing other than his Divine Will. Richard Baxter, a great religious writer, died with these words on his lips: "Lord, what you will, where you will, and when you will."
When we submit to God's complete and total control, we become "God-intoxicated", filled with his own life. There is no other way but the way of abandonment and surrender, as the Virgin emphasizes today. It can be hard, but it is essential to a fulfilled life.
Application:
In prayer today, live Our Lady's message: "I beseech you to surrender yourselves your selves to me, so that I can present you a gift to God."
Past Message to Louise Nov. 18, 2004
Message via L., V+J
November 18, 2004- - -1:10 P.M.
Louise began to receive a message from God and said, "Jesus, please cover me with Your Most Precious Blood."
Then our God, Gracious Giver of All spoke, "Thanksgiving Day is rapidly approaching and the holidays follow quickly. Where are My people? The greater majority are getting caught up into the momentum of shopping, decorating, cooking, baking, visiting. Run! Run! Run! There is no time to relax, to pray, to thank the Lord giver of all.
The Pilgrims and Indians were so grateful for a plentiful harvest that they set aside a day of prayer, of thanks to their God. Yet you, My children, celebrate Thanksgiving Day eating, drinking and watching football. You sit down and eat from another great harvest but few offer Me any thanks.
One day very soon all your blessings will vanish. All you now take for granted will be no more. If you do not recognize Me then I will withdraw My blessings. You are an ungrateful lot!
Daily, you should thank your God and ask for My Blessings, NOT just one day a year. Yet the majority are so full of pride and so worldly you do not offer thanks even one day a year.
Therefore, do not be surprised when I take all from you or when I abandon you. As in any good relationship or any good friendship you must keep the lines of communication open. If I do not hear your voice I will not know you.
Begin now to speak to Me, to be ever thankful for all the daily gifts I have given to you and daily give to you. Learn to say thank you and to appreciate all of life's gifts. Share your abundant blessings with those less fortunate, for in sharing, you give to Me, to express true love. Let love guide you, not pride restrain you. Allow your heart to become entangled in the web of love.
I am Love! Follow Me! Become like Me! Reach out and share your blessings to your brothers and sisters everywhere. Allow love to get a contagious grip in your heart. Spread it! May all people be caught in the net of Divine Love."

Medjugorje Day By Day Nov 25 - CONSECRATION TO THE HEART OF JESUS
"Hail, sacred tabernacles, where Thou, O Lord, dost descend at the voice of a mortal! Hail, mysterious altar, where faith comes to receive its immortal food! Oh, I love Thy temple! It is an island of peace in the ocean of the world, a beacon of immortality! Thou art near to hear us.... O happy Church! Truly in thee is a hidden God, an infinite treasure, a copious redemption, an everlasting safety. Human eye sees not, nor can any finite intelligence penetrate that ineffable, mysterious presence of Heaven's great Lord." (St. Paul of the Cross)
Mother Teresa -
Vocation, for a Christian, is Jesus. Our means, how we spend our time, may be different, but it is still our love for Jesus in action.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
The Lord points out and calls, but we do not want to see and answer because we prefer our own interests.
It also sometimes happens that because the voice is always audible, we no longer hear it; but the Lord enlightens and calls. It is man who puts himself in the position of no longer being able to hear.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
No one is better than the next!
"The psychological reason for the modern fondness for news which deflates others or brings out the evil in their lives, is to solace uneasy consciences which are already laden with guilt. By finding others who apparently are more evil than we, we falsely believe that we are somehow better `than the rest of men' (Luke 18: 11)."
St. Faustina's diary http://www.marian.org/directory_flash.html -
O Lord, You who penetrate my whole being and the most secret depths of my soul, You see that I desire You alone and long only for the fulfillment of Your holy will, paying no heed to difficulties or sufferings or humiliations or to what others might think. (1360)
O my Lord, my soul is the most wretched of all, and yet You stoop to it with such kindness! I see clearly Your greatness and my littleness, and therefore I rejoice that You are so powerful and without limit, and so I rejoice greatly at being so little. (1417)
I strive for the greatest perfection possible in order to be useful to the Church. Greater by far is my bond to the Church. The sanctity or the fall of each individual soul has an effect upon the whole Church. Observing myself and those who are close to me, I have come to understand how great an influence I have on other souls, not by any heroic deeds, as these are striking in themselves, but by small actions like a movement of the hand, a look, and many other things too numerous to mention, which have an effect on and reflect in the souls of others, as I myself have noticed. (1475)

MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
Nov 25 - CONSECRATION TO THE HEART OF JESUS
The following message was given to Jelena for the parish:
Devote five minutes to the Sacred Heart. Each family is an image of it (Locutionists Jelena & Mirijana July 2, 1983).
And from John's gospel, a prayer of Jesus to the Father:
Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and those know that you have sent me. I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them (Jn 17:25-26).
Reflection:
The love of Christ is symbolized by his heart. To be consecrated to the Sacred Heart is to be consecrated to the Lord's love, pledged and dedicated to it. Our Lord's love, pledged and dedicated to it. Our Lady emphasizes this in her messages. From October, 1988: "I am calling you today to the prayer of consecration to Jesus, my dear Son, so that each of your hearts may be his." And in Nov of 1983: "Place an image of the hearts of Jesus and Mary in your homes." In April, 1984: "I pray that you especially venerate the Heart of my Son." And last, in October of 1983: "May all families consecrate themselves to the Sacred Heart each day."
Application:
Today, let us live these messages of the Blessed Virgin by consecrating ourselves to the Sacred Heart, using the prayer she dictated to Jelena for that purpose:
O Jesus, we know that you are gentle, that you have given your heart for us, crowned with the thorns of our sins. We know well that today you still pray for us so that we will not be lost.
Jesus, remember us if we fall into sin. Through your most Sacred Heart, enable us to love one another, that hatred may disappear from among men. Show us your love, we love you and wish that you protect us with the heart of the Good Shepherd.
Enter into each heart, Lord Jesus! Knock on the door of our hearts with patience and persistence. We are still locked within ourselves for we have not understood your will. O Jesus, continue to knock, that our hearts may open to you, especially when we remember the passion which you suffered for us. Amen.
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!
