The Words of God the Father
through Gianna Sullivan To the World January 8, 2009
Children of Humanity,
You were created through Love to love. Your vocation is to love. How easily
you become distracted. You desire changes and are quick to respond to any
person or situation if it lifts your spirit in a self-serving way. You all seem
to desire to be loved and accepted. The irony is that you were created for this
actual reality, that being to love. The communion with humanity and God through
Love is your center of happiness and freedom.
You lose your focus by missing your opportunity of serving and loving people,
whether in need or otherwise. The only tool at your disposal is the fundamental
act that you can to decide to love or decide to hate. Indifference will lead to
hate because it is a poisonous venom. Your free will was a gift to grant you
freedom, but you have chosen to endure hardships by ignoring the Truth of Love.
I Am Love, and it was through My Love that you exist. To continue to exist, you
must also love, or your existence will be short-lived and will lead to
destruction. If you fear difficulties now, how much more will you fear them
when they surface later?
I have given you graces and opportunities to multiply in My Love. I cautioned
you to beware and to live your vocations in Truth. That vocation is Love, for
you are nothing without Love. You are nothing without Me; for I Am Love. I
Am.

SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 2010 - CORE GROUP
MY PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,
IT IS WITH GREAT JOY THAT I DRAW YOU FROM THE WORLD AND PLACE YOU IN THAT SPECIAL PLACE OF RESERVE IN MY HEART. AS YOU HAVE LONGED FOR THIS GATHERING, SO TOO HAVE I. I UNDERSTAND YOUR HEARTS AND I KNOW YOUR QUESTIONS AND ANXIETIES. DEAR SWEET CHILDREN, I AM YOUR MOTHER AND I WILL HELP YOU IN ALL SITUATIONS - TRUST MY IMMACULATE HEART. IT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU BY GOD THE FATHER, THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY CARE, ALWAYS UNDER MY PROTECTION AND FOREVER WITHIN MY HEART WHICH IS ENTWINED WITH THE SACRED HEART OF MY SON.
AS YOU YEARN FOR MORE KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM, I BRING TO YOU WHAT THE FATHER DEEMS NECESSARY FOR TODAY.
YOUR NATION IS FACING AN EVIL OF UNKNOWN MAGNITUDE. THIS EVIL IS KNOWN TO GOD AND SO HE SEEKS OUT THE FAITHFUL SOULS TO PRAY AND HIS ARMY TO DO BATTLE. YOUR NATION MUST RETURN TO GOD AND THE PROCESS IS THUS VERY SLOW. BUT EVIL WILL NOT WIN OVER THE HAND OF GOD. THOUGH HIS HAND HAS BEEN REMOVED TO ALLOW MAN TO SEE CLEARLY - IT SHALL BE ONCE MORE HELD OVER YOUR COUNTRY - THAT THERE BE NO DOUBT THAT THERE IS GOD WHO IS ALMIGHTY AND HE WILL FOREVER BE MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY EVIL. SO I SAY TO YOU TRUST, TRUST, TRUST. SO OFTEN YOU HAVE BEEN SHOWN THE POWER OF GOD, YET YOU AT TIMES GIVE IN TO THE TROUBLES THAT SURROUND YOU. I TELL YOU TO PUT ASIDE ANY FEAR OR ANXIETY AND KNOW THAT WHAT I HAVE SAID TO YOU THROUGH THESE PETALS FROM HEAVEN IS TRUE AND IS FOR ALL TIME. IT IS YOU THAT IS WEAK, NOT GOD. YOU GIVE IN TO SO MANY WORRIES AND YOU FORGET THAT YOU WERE CHOSEN FOR GOD?S WORK IN THESE TIMES. THEREFORE, IT IS NOT THE WORLD YOU SHOULD HAVE SO MUCH CONCERN FOR, BUT THE STATE OF THE HOLY CHURCH - PUT YOUR HEARTS INTO THE TRUTH, IT IS THE TRUTH THAT YOU MY DEAR LITTLE CHILDREN, THAT SHALL CARRY IT INTO THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH.
YOU ARE INDEED AWARE OF THE PAIN OF THE HOLY CHURCH. IT SHALL SURVIVE, BUT ITS WOUNDS SHALL BE DEEP AND TAKE THEIR TOLL. SO MANY ARE LEAD ASTRAY BECAUSE PRIESTS AND OTHERS HAVE FORSAKEN THE TRUTHS OF JESUS CHRIST. THE PEOPLE ARE NOT NOURISHED AND THEY SCATTER AS THEIR SHEPHERDS TURN AWAY FROM THEIR FLOCKS. MY SON KNOWS WHAT IS IN THE HEART OF EACH PRIEST AND HE WILL SHOW THEM ALL OF IT AT THE MOMENT OF DECISION. THE EARTH WILL QUAKE OVER AND OVER BECAUSE OF THE SINS OF THE PRIESTS. THEY MUST BE SHAKEN AND MADE AWARE OF THEIR DISCREPANCIES, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BECOME SO BLINDED BY PRIDE. SEEK AFTER HOLY PRIEST - THOSE I CAN CALL MY SONS. THEY WILL FEED YOU WITH THE HOLY EUCHARIST AND CLEANSE YOUR SOULS. THEY WILL BE YOUR STRENGTH AS THE CHURCH BEGINS TO CRUMBLE UNDER THE FORCE OF EVIL. BUT GOD?S HAND HAS ALREADY MADE READY THE REMEDY, AND THOSE WHO ARE FAITHFUL AND PERSEVERE WILL SEE THE CHURCH RISE ONCE MORE IN SPLENDOR AND IT WILL BE AS NEVER BEFORE.
MY CHILDREN, YOU HAVE COME TOGETHER BECAUSE YOU HAVE ENDURED A TIME AS NEVER BEFORE. YOU FIND YOURSELVES AT A DISTANCE FROM ONE ANOTHER AND THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN YOU HAVE BEEN DENIED THE COMFORT YOU FIND IN EACH OTHER. THIS TOO HAS BEEN NECESSARY THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO STAY CONNECTED WITHIN MY HEART, DESPITE ANY AND ALL OBSTACLES. AS YOU CONTINUE TO HOLD TOGETHER THE UNITY WHICH HAS BEEN TESTED IN MANY, MANY WAYS, YOU WILL BECOME ONLY STRONGER. IT IS NOT THE BODY WHICH MUST ENDURE, BUT THE HEART AND THE SOUL. EACH HEART HAS BEEN KISSED AND EMBRACED BY THIS MOTHER, BUT EACH HEART AND EACH SOUL HAS BEEN EMERGED IN THE GRACE OF GOD. IT IS GOD?S GRACE THAT SHALL KEEP YOU AND STRENGTHEN YOU. YOU HAVE EVERY GRACE ATTACHED TO YOU, ONLY TO BE AWAKENED AS YOU PROCEED TO THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH. OH MY CHILDREN, YOU HAVE BEEN FORTIFIED AND MADE READY FOR THESE TIMES WHICH ARE MOST DIFFICULT. YOU HAVE MADE READY TO FORGE AHEAD AND COME TO REST AT THE SIDE OF MY SON. HE KNOWS YOU, HE LOVES YOU. WHEN MANKIND WITNESSES THE GREAT ACT OF MERCY - THEY SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO LOOK INTO THE EYES OF MY SON. YOU MY CHILDREN ARE ASSURED OF THIS BECAUSE I HAVE REVEALED IT THROUGH THESE PETALS FROM HEAVEN. BE AT PEACE AS YOUR HEARTS CAN ENDURE. LET ME LOVE YOU AND CARE FOR YOU.
MY BELOVED PRIESTS-SONS, I VISIT YOU TODAY IN THIS SPECIAL WAY BECAUSE YOU ARE MY BELOVED SONS AND I LOVE YOU BEYOND COMPREHENSION. TO YOU I SAY, BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO HOLD TO THE TRUTH. GOD HAS PROVIDED FOR YOU IN A MOST SPECIAL WAY. NOURISH YOUR FLOCKS THOUGH EXHAUSTION IS INEVITABLE. YOU WILL HAVE WHAT YOU NEED TO STAY IN GRACE AND OVERCOME FATIGUE AND INSULTS. THE INSULTS WILL COME FROM THOSE WHO ARE FILLED WITH PRIDE AND THINK THEMSELVES ABOVE YOU. YOU WILL BE LADEN WITH THE WORK OF SAVING SOULS, AND MY SONS, YOU WILL BE GIVEN THE GRACE TO DO SO. TRUST IS MOST IMPORTANT, EVEN WHEN YOU SEEM TO BE ABANDONED. NEVER WILL YOU BE LEFT ALONE. YOU HAVE ONLY TO CLOSE YOUR EYES IN PRAYER AND YOU WILL BE FILLED TO OVERFLOWING WITH LOVE AND MERCY. NOW TAKE UP THE CROSS AND BRING IT TO THOSE WHO LONG FOR SALVATION. I LOVE YOU MY BELOVED SONS, AND I CARRY EACH OF YOU IN MY HEART.
MY PRECIOUS CHILDREN, YOU TOO HAVE A GREAT TASK AHEAD. BUT YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN MADE READY. AND SO I BRING TO YOU MY LOVE IN AN OVERWHELMING WAY. YOU ARE CRADLED AND BLESSED, BECAUSE YOU ARE MY LITTLE ONES GIVEN TO ME BY GOD AND I SHALL BE WITH YOU FOREVER.
I GO TO EACH OF YOU TODAY, AND AS I HOLD YOU TO ME, I BRING INTO YOUR HEARTS THE LOVE OF THIS MOTHER. MAY THIS LOVE ENTICE YOU TO RECALL ALL I HAVE PROMISED YOU, THUS BRINGING YOU CONSOLATION IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES. AND SO WITH THE GRACE GOD DESIRES FOR YOU THIS DAY, I BLESS YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
MAY YOU GIVE PRAISE AND THANKS TO GOD - NOW AND FOREVER.

"Have a plan for your life"
Dear Friends,
The Conditions of Discipleship
Then Jesus said to his disciples, Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life? For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father’sglory, and then he will repay everyone according to his conduct. Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom. (Matthew 16:24:28)
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,
At times when I was with the Apostles, I spoke to them about discipleship. How important it is to deny oneself and be humble. Pride does not have a place in you if you want to follow Me. You know that I carried My cross right up to Golgotha and I call each one of you to carry your cross every day. Each person has a cross to carry and how important it is for you to carry it behind Me. Your cross is all the suffering you have in your life, such as sickness, tiredness, difficult work to do, insults you receive from others, depression, discouragement, etc. How important it is that you call upon Me to help you in carrying your cross.
You have to give Me your life so I can make use of you for the mission I have planned for you. It is in giving your life to Me that you will find it and you will have the strength and the joy in doing what I have called you to do. The main reason why you were born was to work together with Me to attain eternal life in heaven. Look at Me at all times to have the graces you need every day and cooperate with all I give you. You are called to love the Lord with all your heart and to love one another as I have loved you. Have a plan for your life and follow it every day. I will give you the gifts you need. I love you.

Private Message from Our Lady
to Gianna Talone Sullivan August 22, 2009
The Feast of the Queenship of Mary
My dear little children, praised be Jesus!
Thank you, little ones, for praying. Know, as your Mother, I am pleased to be
here with you.
I wonder if you understand the meaning of Queenship. Do you know what it
entails to be a queen? Is it royalty? Is being catered to? Is it being a
role model with glamour and fame?
My Son was King of the Jews; and after all the good He did, this King was
despised, spat upon, tormented, crushed and crucified. People were jealous of
Him. In the time of my Son’sLife, many people were crucified. In fact, there
were so many people crucified that there were rows of those on crosses. That
was the way of execution, but not to the extent of my Son’s.
So as a Queen, should I not be like my Son, the King lowly, unnoticed, loving,
doing all good, and devoted to the Divine Will of God the Father? As you
celebrate and honor my Queenship, I celebrate my Son Who has gained you the
honor to dwell with Him in His true royalty which is far beyond and more
glorious than your meaning and definition of king and queen today.
I am not inviting you to be tormented or despised, to be spat upon, to be
tortured or crushed. What I am inviting you to be is by my side, within my
mantle, doing all you can do to be loving and kind and detached from the way
that the world can distract you and lead you away from God.
We desire you to be happy and whole, healthy and pure, wise and humble. We
desire you to receive, yet not be distracted. So Peace and blessings to you!
Because of my Son’s Act, you are free and will never have to suffer to the full
extent that He has suffered for the world’sfreedom and salvation.
I love you, and I thank you. I encourage you to be full of Life!
Peace (fading whisper).

Mar 2, 2010 Tues, 8 am, my altar, divine mercy chaplet
Me: I had to esp. pray for a dear friend whose husband
is very brooding and is not cooperative
when entire family goes out and bonds. He does
not want to talk to them, either the wife or kids.
The children are also getting fed up with him. (they are nice kids)
This friend of mine does everything in the home - is a very
good wife and mother, and compassionate friend. In
my time of need, I could count on her. She has been
one of my Simon of Cyrenes in several
low / critical moments of my life.
I'm worried because it's always been usually
me seeking comfort/counsel/guidance on what
to do re: a particular situation. This time she was
unusually visibly upset and going crazy with the
situation. She also takes care of her aging mother,
etc. Have mercy on her lord and enlighten her
husband. She does not want to rock the boat but
I'm discerning there is something rocking
the boat at work - someone?
Jesus: Pray much, offer me today, anything,
your lunch, (half it) , your actions, etc. I shall send
forth My Spirit down on him and enlighten him.
He's tempted and continuously by someone.
He is blessed with a faithful wife and loving
humble, grounded children. I will touch his heart...
The devil is no longer sleeping and is increasing his
work to destroy strong families. Pray, offer, worry not.
Trust in me. Trust in my promise.
end message
note: after extra prayers offered for my friend and
her husband and divine mercy chaplet mentioning
specifically the husband's name, For the sake of his
sorrowful passion, have mercy on (husband's name)...
and offerings, little things throughout day, my friend
in a very good mood, came to see me the next day and when i
asked her how everything was at home, she said,
you won't believe it, but he was surprisingly in a very
different mood, He was in a good mood! What a difference are
prayers and offerings!
Mar 5, 2010, 4:30 am, Fri, Sorrowful mysteries
Me: I have been making daily consecration
of myself, my will, my goods, my works, actions,
past, present and future to God thru Mama Mary
including that of my family. Almost always,
daily yet it was pointed out to me
that we need some preparation time/effort
before we can do a successful consecration.
I was repeatedly told last nite about
the conflict eternally between the spirit of
the world/flesh and the spirit of God. We must
be in this state of casting off the spirit of lust/
of passions of this world, as we do this we can
enlarge/grow in the life in the Spirit according
to the Will of the Father. This was my last inspired
thought before I fell asleep.
And it no longer surprises me this morning, as I'm
directed to the book,'True devotion to Mary'
that St. Louis de Montfort has a specific
instruction on the PREPARATION FOR CONSECRATION
TO JESUS THRU MARY.
THere are exercises recommended to assure
the purity and proper disposition they tend to
develop in our souls.
The first part is a 12 day period where we are to t
try to free ourselves from the Spirit of the world.
and a second period of 3 weeks:
1st week -knowledge of ourselves
2nd week - knowledge of Mama Mary
3rd week - knowledge of Jesus christ
This period may be lengthened or shortened but
the point is to cast the spirit of the world in
order to acquire fully the spirit of Jesus Christ thru
Mama Mary.
In the first period - renouncement of the world -
there are prayers suggested, bible readings, and book
readings.
More importantly there are spiritual exercises consisting of:
1. examination of conscience
2. pray
3. practice renouncement
4. mortification
5. purity of heart
!st week- Knowledge of self - use all effort to
ask for knowledge of self and contrition of their
sins in a spirit of humility.
The devil who is the spirit of the world
employs all devices to bring error and darkness
to the mind, seducing and corrupting the will.
,,,bring error to the mind, seducing....and corrupting
the will...He employs various charms to render sin
alluring in persons, places and things.
Jesus: Start to practice reflecting on what earthly things
you crave for - notice how first you gazed at
it and lusted over it, to posses it. It possesses your
mind: this object of the world - a thing,
a person, an exotic place. As it consumes your mind
it draws attention away from ME.
Start to look to the Star of the Ocean - Mary my Mother
Find in her all virtues, pleasing to the Father - her
humility, purity, patience, her full total obedience to the Father.
Her lack of any earthly desire but to do His will.
Try to imitate her virtues.
Then afterwards, turn to my Sacred Heart and
observe what I set out to accomplish. Ask
me to cover you with my precious blood.
I through the intercession of my Mother, and the
workings of the Holy Spirit shall enlighten you to
your miserable self. Allow me to show you your
weaknesses, allow me to mold you a little
every day, and point to you lovingly, patiently
peel off the layers of pride, lust, envy your soul
is enveloped in.
Then you may come to me in confession,
armed with the right conscience and
begin to walk in the right path according to
my Father's will.
Consecration is not easy my child but
with God's grace, I can transform you and so
long as you consistently persist in trying to
desire to follow the will of the Father, He shall
assist you.
end of message
Note: confession to be fruitful requires a greater
preparation and greater self reflection. One must
call on the Holy Spirit to show us our many many
many sins. Some sins are done daily, naturally,
that we have no sense of sin in these small acts.
Our mouths sin a lot...our eyes too. Envy begins here
then makes its way to our hearts. Watch watch yourself.
Mar 6, 2010 saturday joyful mysteries
Jesus; Consecration is not as many think,
something that is done in one day and then
you move on to other things. It is a
series of peeling away of the layers of self.
of which some outer layers you may
be already aware of but the other layers
of sin is a lengthier process.
I liken it to psychiatric counselling.
Patients go to the psychiatrist to get better
but find that understanding themselves and
overcoming their addictions or treating their
problems require a deeper knowledge of
self. It requires a deeper knowledge of
things and going to the subconscious level.
Be patient when seeking to examine your
conscience. It is pride to even think that you
sin so little. You may not sin in the mortal ways
that you have narrowly defined. But again
pride is a very tight film that clothes and cloaks
the spirit of evil from your eyes.
By God's help, he shall pour graces and
enlighten your conscience to make you aware
of many of your offenses.
After your first confession, do not think you are
ready to make your final consecration.
The Spirit shall help but you must turn all your
efforts to heaven for help. Look to Mary
and see and praise her attributes. How near or
far are you from my model?
You see there is a very wide gap once you
see with my eyes - and then let me ask you,
how do you fair when you glance at my life?
esp. how I obediently lovingly carried my cross
until my crucifixion? Do you obediently carry your cross?
You must learn to see yourself with spiritual
eyes more and more. By offering sacrifices, repenting
and going to confession, mortification of the senses,
mortification of the tongue,
by your continued prayers, by turning your thoughts
to me, you begin to let go of the spirit of
this world and can thus be led by My Spirit.
Consecration is a lifelong process of
transformation into a holy child of God.

My child, My peace be with you on this day that celebrates this journey, this mission in which I have given you. My Blood flows My daughter and the fountain of My mercy is pouring out but I say to you on this day that much prayer is needed.
I tell you My child that the days, the hour is rolling ahead like claps of thunder and cities will become like deserts. An island in the middle of the Pacific will descend into the ocean as the earth continues to respond to the depth of man’ssins.
Repent My children! Repent for you have been given this extended time of grace to mend your lives and change your sinful ways. My words to My children are to pray, pray, pray for little time remains for your hour has now come. Heaven is warning you dear children for mercy and justice are becoming one through Us, your Triune God, for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.

My child, I say to My children, do you not see that all will be accountable for themselves? I say to you My children you are given one life, one soul. Do you see My children you speak words but your tongues do not always have direction. You use your actions that do not always reflect Mine.
Each and every word you speak, each action that you possess is yours to be accounted for. No one will stand with you at judgment. Your neighbor cannot atone for you, only you can atone for yourself. Allow Me to posses your thoughts, guide your tongues and in turn your actions will be of Me.
Too many seek to look to the faults of their neighbor instead of the faults of themselves. I say to you that the devil may use the mind to trick the body to trap the soul. But it is I Jesus who speaks to the heart to drive the mind to do the will of your Heavenly Father to save your soul.
Now go forth dear children in love and action of Your Creator for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.

Solemnity of Mary
Dear Children,
Today I invite you as a family to pray with your Heavenly Mother for world peace. The world has entered into a New Year, a world which continues to live without God in their lives in many parts of the world. Many have abandoned their faith and have embraced the ways of the world. Sin continues to increase. Prayer is the medicine for all unconverted sinners. Little children, remain strong in prayer for there will be much more suffering throughout the world, and many will be affected by these sufferings. Pray with your Heavenly Mother and fear nothing for I am with you. Trust in my powerful intercession. Offer your masses, rosaries, visits to the Blessed Sacrament, frequent confessions and reading holy scripture for the conversion of the world. Do this daily, if possible. Do not abandon the call to holiness. I am praying for you as family and securing the path that will lead you to Heaven.
Pray, children, pray for all the evil in unconverted souls. Thank you for listening to my message.
Our Lady’swords to me: My angel, offer your prayers and sufferings for the sufferings in the world." I saw many people suffering and many people dying.

Behold, beloved of the Father,
We the three Archangels bring you guidance from Heaven. Ponder all that we share with you
.Beloved, behold the vision before you:
The Archangels showed me the vision of December 7, 2009. Again I saw major earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, severe weather, hot and cold, the sufferings in the economy worldwide. I saw the seriousness of the calamities and pestilence that would continue throughout the world. The Archangel Michael said: Beloved, as sin increases, suffering will continue to cover many parts of the world. Many souls continue to live without God and thus ignore the warnings from Heaven. Pray and fast, beloved, asking the mercy of the eternal Father upon a world that continues to walk in darkness.
I saw myself praying where there were very tall trees. Then the Archangel Michael said: Pray for Spain." Then he added: Also for Rome, Italy." Again no explanation was given as to why.
Then the Archangel Michael said for me to look up into the sky and I saw the letters that spelled Revolution and these letters were surrounded by fire. Then St. Michael said to me: Beloved, pray and fast for all that we the three Archangels show you. You will suffer much as you pray and fast, but do not give up on prayer." The vision ended.

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 08 - GIVE THIS LOVE TO OTHERS
"With ever-living ardor, contemplate Christ in the mystery of the Eucharist. Following His example, be ready in all circumstances to make yourselves instruments of mercy and communion. The secret of pastoral success is the crucified and risen Lord, Whom we adore in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. As you well know, in order to be eloquent signs of His love and instigators of His peace in all environments, everyone is first of all asked to cultivate an intimate and constant familiarity with Him. From intense participation in the Eucharist springs the spiritual energy needed to bring all projects of goodness to fruition." (Pope John Paul II, February 19, 2005)
The Cross suffered by you, Jesus Christ, freed me from the slavery of the devil and wed me to the Divinity with an indissoluble bond.
"I am one who came up out of Egypt, and pray God none of my seed shall return thither
. . . . I fell in love with the Blessed Sacrament from the beginning?and by the mercy of God never have fallen out again . . . . Out of wickedness and sloth I almost ceased to practice my religion . . . . Not for me the Hound of Heaven, but the never-ceasing silent appeal of Tabernacle, and the sense of starving hunger" (J. R. R. Tolkien).
Pope John Paul II -
Mother Teresa wrote in her own hand to Denis Nolan April 8 1992
"We are all praying one Hail Mary before Holy Mass to Our Lady of Medjugorje." Medjugorje and the Church, Sr Emmanuel & Denis Nolan p 18
Mother Teresa -
It is very important that right from the beginning we simply live the gospel. Live the gospel in prayer; live the gospel in words.
You won't be able to give what you don't have.
Pray for priests in order that they may be a light in the people so that, as the light rises again, the laity may be able to obtain light and see the errors they commit.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
I understand very well, that your Calvary is becoming more and more painful. But remember that it was on Calvary the Jesus redeemed us, and the salvation of redeemed souls must be accomplished there (Letters III, p. 452).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
You cannot be indifferent and be content
"The Eastern World has struck on the secret of inner peace by suggesting that inner happiness is dependent on the control and limitation of desires. St. Paul said: `I have learned to be content with what I have' (Philippians 4: 11). Contentment is not indifference though the ignorant sometimes make that identification."
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.
Mar 8 - GIVE THIS LOVE TO OTHERS
The Blessed Mother speaks of love to the prayer group on Mt. Podbrdo:
"Dear children, tonight your Mother is happy to see so many of you. I desire, dear children, that from today you begin to live a different life. Your Mother gives you her love and asks that you give this love to others so that we can all live the Easter message. When you return to your homes, conclude the day with prayer (Visionary Prayer Group March 4, 1989)
Of love, St. Peter writes:
Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins (1 Pt 4:8).
Reflection:
The message of love of neighbor reaches far back in our Judeo-Christian roots. The rabbi Hillel was a renowned scribe in Jerusalem about the time of Christ's birth; he seems to have died about A.D. 10 at an advanced age. He was called "the Great" or "the Elder," and his interpretations of the Law were more generous than others. He is said to have been the grandfather of Gamaliel (Acts 22:3) who taught St. Paul. Jesus must have heard often of Hillel, and could possibly have spoken with him as a youth during the three days he remained in the Temple. Here is one of the tales Our Lord probably heard. A certain Gentile came to Shammai (Shammai was the leader of the more strict school of interpretation) and said that he would like to become a convert, but could not stay long in Jerusalem. "Can you teach me the whole Torah while I am standing on one foot?"
Shammai sent him away angrily. So the Gentile went to Hillel with the same question. Hillel admitted him as a convert, and said, "Whatever is hateful to thee, do not do to thy fellow man. This is the whole Torah, all the rest is commentary. Now go and study."

For reflection today: Love seeketh not itself to please, Nor for itself have any care, But for another gives its ease, And builds a heaven in hell's despair (William Blake)
Immaculee: “Valentine still gets private messages from Our Lady and Our Lord; last night she got a message from Our Lord.”
Valentine: “The message I have for you is, when I left yesterday I didn’t sleep last night, I have a program of prayers I normally have to follow daily that I was given by heaven. So, because yesterday we were busy, and I didn’t get time to do my prayers, I said them when I got to my room. Since I didn’t have much time to sleep, I was actually happy, because it gave me time to pray for you, and to think of you, and to thank God for this great work that is being done. So during my prayer, around 4:00 a.m., Jesus came to visit me. Immaculee will forgive me because in the morning she kept asking me if He came or Our Lady came…and I didn’t give an answer (laughs). He said this to me:”
Jesus: “My children I love you, and I want you to grow in love, I give you my love, do not have fear, do not have fear to pray, don’t have fear to talk about the one you love. Ask me; I will give you, my children I sent you my instrument, because I love you, and because I want her to keep you in prayer. My children, you are my family; pray a prayer that comes from the heart that shows in your action, in your behavior, and in your love that you show your neighbors. Always be ready, because you don’t know the day and time that I will come back. There will be miracles; there will be people who will do miracles in my name, the one who doesn’t pray will not understand. They will come; those who call themselves by my name, but if you remain in my love, you will be given light, you will know what is true and not. I want you to remain wrapped in the mantle of My Mother I love very much, because we never separate, where She is, I am also. Say the Rosary everyday it is your daily food for your soul and body, your daily protection and your spiritual strength. My children, I am love and I give you my love and I promise, I will never leave you alone.”
Valentine: Those are the words He gave me, and then I asked Him, that there is somebody who asked me if He ever gave me any message specifically for America?
Jesus: “Tell them I love you my children.” And then He asked me to sing this song, and He told me, “It is also a message”.
Listen to me little children,
I have given you a heritage of Love,
Make it your goal wherever you go,
Let it be your jewel that you wear day and night,
Do not let anything scare you.
Be good to one another, the other is a part of me as well,
And if the other is being difficult and pushing you away,
Call upon me so we can go together,
I promise you, after time, he/she will change come back in peace,
And if you find that you are the one being difficult, not being loving, call me to help you as
well, you are also sick. Do not worry, I have conquered and have enthroned love.
Valentine:
He told me to give you His message without adding or taking anything away; that is the message He gave me to give you.
Valentine: But from my heart, I want to thank you; to thank Immaculee who invited me to come here. There is a time I feel lonely, to be an orphan is not easy even though I have to remind myself that I am not alone, I have Our Lady and Our Lord. I do thank Immaculee, because she have been a true sister, and I thank you a lot also because now as Our Lady’s children, I don’t have a doubt that we are a family, and I promise to pray for you always and to love you. Please do pray for me, especially that I could be a good instrument to deliver Our Lord and Our Lady’s messages to the world. Please pray for me that I can guide the groups of the youth I have in my care in love. I ask you to pray that I am able to give proper love to my three children I have adopted and be a good mother.
And Valentine says in English “Thank you so much and I love you”.

"Repent of all your sins"
Dear Friends,
The First Prediction of the Passion
From that time on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly from the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised. Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you. He turned and said to Peter, Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do. (Matthew 16:21:23)
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer addressed to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,
I knew that the Apostles would have great difficulty accepting that I would suffer and be killed. Peter expressed the thoughts of them all when he said, God forbid, Lord’™ They had accepted Me as the Messiah, the Savior and the Son of God so they could not imagine that I would suffer and die on the cross. That is why I had to predict My Passion and Death three times. They also had great difficulty in accepting that I would rise from the dead after three days.
My dear friends, I want you to believe that the main reason why I came on earth was to suffer My Passion, to die on the cross and to rise again. I offered the sacrifice of My life in great suffering until death for your salvation. In this way I could atone before My Father for all the sins that you had committed and will commit until the end of the world. No greater love does a man have than to lay down his life for his friends. That is what I did for each one of you because I love you.
My dear brothers and sisters, how do you look upon this sacrifice of mine? Do you truly believe that I suffered all this pain up to death for you? Do you accept Me now as your Savior? Yes, I was sent by My Heavenly Father to take on human nature and to come and live with you, so as God and man I could offer a fitting sacrifice for all your sins. See how horrible sin is that it caused Me so much suffering and death on the cross. Repent of all your sins by receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation and come follow Me.

"Love My church"
Dear Friends,
Peter's Confession about Jesus
When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" Then he strictly ordered his disciples to tell no one that he was the Messiah. (Matthew 16:13-20)
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,
"One day when I was in the north of Israel I asked My Apostles this question, 'But who do you say that I am?' It was Peter who answered inspired by Our Father and these are his words, 'You are the Messiah (the Savior) the Son of the living God.' His answer was perfect and at that moment I told him that he was the rock on which I would build My church.
When I was on earth I founded only one church and it is the church I built on Peter. So where you find Peter you have found My church. In the world today there is only one successor of St. Peter and he is the Pope of Rome. He has the title of successor of St. Peter because Peter was the first Bishop of Rome and he was killed in Rome and his remains are there today. The Pope of Rome is the only head of the church that I recognize because he has all the authority I gave to St. Peter.
I call you all, My friends, to be obedient to the Pope and to follow his teaching. Whatever he teaches is the truth and you are to accept it. Be an active member of My church and you will indeed be blessed. Love My church as you love Me."

"I call you to enter the Kingdom"
Dear Friends,
The Greatest in the Kingdom
At that time the disciples approached Jesus and said, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" Jesus called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, "Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me." (Matthew 18:1-5)
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,
"One reason why I came into the world was to inaugurate the Kingdom of heaven. You enter the Kingdom by receiving the sacrament of Baptism. Through Baptism your sins are taken away including original sin and you receive the life of God in your heart. I come to live in you with the Father and the Holy Spirit. You can lose your membership in the Kingdom of God by committing mortal sins but if you repent and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation you are reaccepted in it.
As a member of the Kingdom, it is important to believe in Me, your Savior, and to be a person of prayer. Another quality that is needed is humility. Proud people will be the last in the Kingdom but those who are humble will be the greatest in the Kingdom. Be humble as a child and you will be blessed in My Kingdom.
The Kingdom of heaven begins here on earth and it is perfected in heaven. By being a member of My Church and following the Ten Commandments given by Our Heavenly Father, you are indeed in the Kingdom of heaven and growing in holiness every day. Ask daily for the graces you need to follow Me for without the grace of God you will not succeed. I won these graces for you by My suffering and death on the cross so I desire that you open your heart to receive them every day. I call you, My brothers and sisters, to enter the Kingdom prepared for you and to remain in it forever. I bless you."

"I love you"
Dear Friends,
Love One Another
Jesus said, "I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father. It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. This I command you: love one another." (John 15:11-17)
Below you will find the message of Our Blessed Mother given to Joseph. She spoke to him in these words,
"I bless you, My son, and I bless all My children in every country of the world. Jesus, My Son, gave you all a commandment to love one another as He loves you. Come and read the Gospels and you will see what great love He has for you. He laid down His life for your salvation. He also said, 'No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.' Come, My children, and follow Him and you will bear much fruit.
There is too much self-pride among you and you are doing what is wrong by judging others. Be humble as Jesus was and be ready to forgive all those who hurt you in any way. The title I loved to call Myself was 'the servant of the Lord.' My only desire was to do the will of the Father every day. You too are called to be humble and to accomplish the will of the Father all the time. My Son Jesus came into the world for the same reason: to do the will of His Father.
I am praying for you that you will advance in holiness every day by following the Commandments of God and praying regularly. I love you and bless you."

"Believe in Me"
Dear Friends,
The Rejection at Nazareth
Jesus came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, "Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds? Is he not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? Are not his sisters all with us? Where did this man get all this?" And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house." And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith. (Matthew 13:54-58)
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him saying,
"During My public life I would go back to My home town of Nazareth now and then. When I was there on the Sabbath, I would go to the synagogue and often I was asked to read and to preach. The people also heard that I healed many people and they were astonished. They could not believe that I did all these things because they knew Me as I had grown up among them. At the end they rejected Me and would not believe that I had such power to do such things.
You know, My brothers and sisters, that I always asked the people to believe in Me before I would do any miracle. Without faith, I could not do anything. So I was not able to work any healings in Nazareth where I grew up.
Do you want Me to answer your prayers? I know you do. However, how can I answer them if you have any doubts about Me? What I ask of you is that you believe in Me with all your heart and not like the people of Nazareth. You know that I am human and you are right but I am also divine with all the power of God. It is with the power of God that I can heal the sick, raise the dead, give sight to the blind and make the lame walk. I did many such miracles when I was on earth. Believe in Me and I will answer your prayers."

"Live as children of the Father"
Dear Friends,
The Parable of the Weeds among the Wheat
Jesus proposed another parable to them. "The Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off. When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well. The slaves of the householder came to him and said, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field?
Where have the weeds come from?' He answered, 'An enemy has done this.' His slaves said to him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?' He replied, 'No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until harvest; then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters, "First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barns."" (Matthew 13:24-30)
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Joseph, His brother. Jesus spoke to him these words,
"As the parable teaches you, I am the sower of the good seed in the world. Those who receive the good seed and bear good fruit are the children of God. The one who sows the weeds is the evil one and those who accept the weeds are the followers of the evil one. In the world today there are the children of God on the one hand and the children of the evil one on the other. The destination of the children of God is heaven forever but the destination of the children of the evil one is everlasting hell.
I am calling you all to examine yourselves to find out in which camp you are. You just have to look at your actions and you will know. If you have rejected Me and are now following the evil one, it is time for you to change direction. Come back to Me and leave your sinful ways behind. Repent of all your sins sincerely in the Sacrament of Reconciliation and I will take them all away and come follow Me.
I desire the salvation of all My brothers and sisters but you need to open your heart to Me. Live as children of the Father with the graces He gives you every day. In this way you will reject the evil one in your life and walk with Me, your Brother."

"By their fruit you shall know them"
Dear Friends,
The Parable of the Sower
On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore. And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep, and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it. But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold. Whoever has ears ought to hear." (Matthew 13:1-9)
Here below is the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,
"I often spoke in parables to the people during My public life. These parables are timeless and can be told in any age. They are not difficult to understand. I am the principle sower but any person who evangelizes is also a sower. What is sown is the word of God or the word of the Kingdom of God. The condition of the soil is very important for the seed to grow.
It is the same with the word that is sown in your heart. What sort of reception do you give the Word of God? If you hardly have any faith, it will not take root in your heart and be discarded. If you are a person who is just curious, you might welcome the Word today and forget about it tomorrow. If you are a person that is taken up by the affairs of the world, you will not have much time to nurture the Word of God in your heart and it will die. However, if you are a person of great faith, you will welcome the Word with all your heart and you will produce wonderful fruit for all to see.
My dear friends, I want you to be brothers and sisters with great faith in Me. You have a relationship with Me, Your Savior, and My Words help you to grow every day in holiness. Live in a deep loving union with Me and nurture this relationship with prayer, the Eucharist and charitable acts. By their fruit you shall know them. I bless you all."
Father Melvin
Message to Mirjana Soldo March 2, 1010
March 02, 2010
"Dear children, In this special time of your effort to be all the closer to my Son, to His suffering, but also to the love with which He bore it, I desire to tell you that I am with you. I will help you to triumph over errors and temptations with my grace. I will teach you love, love which wipes away all sins and makes you perfect, love which gives you the peace of my Son now and forever. Peace with you and in you, because I am the Queen of Peace. Thank you."

"Had I but Mary's sinless heart

(Fr. Faber)
The Cross is fire and reduces to ashes all that is not of God, unto emptying the heart of the smallest blade of grass that could be there.
Mother Teresa -
God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen. And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens.
And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be: oneness with God, oneness with Jesus.
Everything that carries light is from God
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Some interior consolations are for infant souls. They are not signs of perfection. It is not consolations that are needed, but suffering. Aridity, listlessness, helplessness, these are the signs of real love. Suffering is pleasant. Exile is beautiful because by suffering we have something to give God. The gift of our pain, of our sufferings is a great thing, which we cannot do in Paradise (GB, 35).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Thy Will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven.
"In contentment one does not submit before he has prayed and acted, but after one has done all he can, accepting the event as the will of the Lord."
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
Mar 11 - CONFESSION WILL BE THE REMEDY
Regarding questions on confession, the Blessed Virgin answered:
One must invite people to go to confession each month, especially the first Saturday. Here I have not spoken about it yet. I have invited some people to frequent confession. I will give you yet some concrete messages for our time. Be patient because the time has not yet come. Do what I have told you. They are numerous who do not observe it. Monthly confession will be a remedy for the church in the West. One must convey this message to the West (Special Message August 6, 1982).
Psalm 32 speaks of confession and its fruit:
Then I acknowledged my sin to you, And I did not hide my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,"
And you forgave the guilt of my sin.
Therefore let all who are faithful offer prayer to you; At a time of distress, the rush of might waters shall not reach them. Psalm 32L5-6)
Reflection:
A soldier asked a holy monk if God accepted repentance. He said, "Tell me, if your cloak is torn do you throw it away?" The soldier replied, "No, I mend it and use it again." The old man said to him, "If you are so careful about your cloak, will not God be equally careful about his people?"
To experience the joy of forgiveness is a great gift of God, but it requires that we let go of our guilt and truly believe that the Lord has actually forgiven us. This can be difficult when a sin has taken deep root and grown over many years, or if it is very serious or causes deep shame. Then we are in need of a special grace that will convince us of God's infinite mercy that remits all sin of whatever depth or kind. This grace puts us tin mind of the staggering price Jesus paid for our souls through his Passion and death, and almost impossible love that absorbs all sin, hurt, shame, and injury.
Therefore not to accept the Lord's forgiveness is to belittle or even ignore his Passion and cross, to say to him in effect: «I don't believe you. Your love isn't great enough to forgive this sin, to wash away my guilt. And so I refuse you." This is a self-inflicted exile that Satan always has a hand in.
Clearly it is much better to pray for the grace to realize God's forgiveness deep within ourselves, that we may be healed and set free.
Application:
As we see, the sacrament of confession is a great gift. If you haven't done so already, mark your calendar for your Lenten confession. Can you also schedule a regular day each month when you can receive the sacrament, as Our Lady asks today?
Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 10 - Conquer some fault each day
"Go to adoration as one who would go to heaven, to the divine banquet. Our Lord will give us audience of grace and love. He is waiting for us. He is longing for us." (St. Peter Julian Eymard)
The Cross is Light and undeceives me of the temporal and unveils to me the Eternal.
"Invite them all, men and women, of every class and degree, and compel them to come in, for this is the bread of life of which they all stand in need. This is the only bread the Church of Jesus Christ has at her disposal; a bread to satisfy all the longings of our souls, to unite them closely to Jesus Christ, to form into 'one body' and one community of brethren all those who sit at the same heavenly Table, so that breaking one bread they may receive the medicine that gives immortality" (Pope Pius XII).
Mother Teresa -
Faith in action through prayer, faith in action through service: each is the same thing, the same love, the same compassion. This is something that should encourage us and should be a strength for us, that we complete each other more fully
The works which please me most are the hidden works, because they are deprived of every human spirit.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Our Lord sometimes makes you feel the weight of the cross. This weight seems unbearable but you carry it because, in His love and mercy, the Lord helps you and gives you strength (CE, 21).
Companions of the Cross
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
No room for doom and gloom!
"Contentment has no kinship with fatalism which refuses to plan or act in the belief that nothing can be altered. It is such fatalism which characterizes certain Eastern philosophies and makes progress impossible."
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.
Mar 10 - CONQUER SOME FAULT EACH DAY
During Lent of 1985, Our Lady said to Jelena:
"I give you some advice: I would like you to try to conquer some fault each day, If your fault is to get angry at everything, try each day to get angry less. If your fault is not to be able to study, try to study. If your fault is not to be able to obey, or if you cannot stand those who do not please you, try on a given day to speak with them. If your fault is not to be able to stand an arrogant person, you should try to approach that person. If you desire that person to be humble, be humble yourself. Show that humility is worth or than pride.
Thus, each day, try to go beyond, and to reject every vice from your heart. Find out which are the vices that you most need to reject. During this Lent, you should try and truly desire to spend it in love. Strive as much as possible." (Locution Jelena & Mirajana February 20, 1985).
In his first letter, Peter also speaks of rejecting vices:
You have already spent enough time in doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in licentiousness, passions, drunkenness, revels, carousing, and lawless idolatry…The end of all things is near, therefore be serious and discipline yourselves for the sake of your prayers (1 Pt 4:3.7)
Reflection:
Philip Henry, a 15th Century English writer, once wrote that, "Sins are like circles in the water when a stone is thrown into it; one produces another. When anger was in Cain's heart, murder was not far off," Recognizing our sins and the vices that produce them is not a pleasant task, yet it is the doorway to peace and holiness. The sacrament of confession is especially helpful in this.
In our examination of conscience we can go one step further to identify the roots of our sins. For example, the sin of lying may be founded in pride; sexual misconduct rooted in selfishness. Once we identify these roots, we can then take action to modify and eventually eliminate them for our lives, as Our Lady asks today; "Each day try to go beyond, to reject every vice from your heart."
Application:
When you prepare for your next confession, actually write down your sins and, next to them, the vice from which they come. During the sacrament itself, present both to your priest so that the Lord can begin his healing work within you.
Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 09 - It would be a good thing to give up
"Let us fix our eyes on Christ's Blood and understand how precious it is to his Father, for, poured out for our salvation it has brought to the whole world the grace of repentance" (St. Clement of Rome).
The Cross is fruitful and gives birth to Grace in me.
"I fall in adoration at Your feet, Lord!
I thank You, God of goodness;
God of holiness, I invoke You,
on my knees, in Your sight"
(St. Ephrem of Syria).
Mother Teresa -
We could know all possible knowledge, and all of theology and all the things about God, but we would not be able to light a fire in the hearts of the people. We could just be uttering words, not living those words. That is why it is necessary for us that our words be the fruit of our life, the fruit of our prayers. " The mission of proclaiming Christ, through action or through words, is one mission, the mission of love and compassion.
A thousand external works are under a single internal work, because in the external works, the human spirit always plays its part
Meditations by Padre Pio -
I know you are suffering a great deal, but isn't this, perhaps, the jewels of the Spouse (Letters III, p. 449).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
One who is truly content never broods
"Contentment does not mean immunity from trial, for it can know sighs and tears, but its feelings are never allowed to run into fretfulness. If it cannot have what it wants, it never broods over its disappointments but brightens them by sweet submission."
O incomprehensible and limitless Mercy Divine,
To extol and adore You worthily, who can?
Supreme attribute of Almighty God,
You are the sweet hope for sinful man.
Into one hymn yourselves unite, stars, earth and sea, and in one accord, thankfully and fervently sing of the incomprehensible Divine Mercy. (951)
Jesus looked at me and said, Souls perish in spite of My bitter Passion. I am giving them the last hope of salvation; that is, the Feast of My Mercy. If they will not adore My mercy, they will perish for all eternity. Secretary of My mercy, write, tell souls about this great mercy of Mine, because the awful day, the day of My justice, is near. (965)
Today I heard these words: Pray for souls that they be not afraid to approach the tribunal of My mercy. Do not grow weary of praying for sinners. You know what a burden their souls are to My Heart. Relieve My deathly sorrow; dispense My mercy. (975)

Mar 9 - YOU CAN GIVE UP A NUMBER OF THINGS
To the visionaries during the first year of the apparitions:
"If you are experiencing difficulties or if you need something, come to me. If you do not have the strength to fast on bread and water, you can give up a number of things. It would be a good thing to give up television, because after some programs you are distracted and unable to pray. You can give up alcohol, cigarettes, and other pleasures. You yourselves know what you have to do.
(The Gospa then kneels down, and with hands extended, prays to Christ.) My beloved Son, I beseech you to be willing to forgive the world its great sin through which it offends you." (First Years December 8, 1981).
St. John also speaks of the world and sin:
Do not love the world or the things in the world. The love of the Father is not in those who love the world; for all that is in the world—the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, the pride in riches---comes not from the Father but from the world. And the world and its desire are passing away, but those who do the will of God live forever ( 1Jn 2:15-17).
Reflection:
Worldliness is not limited to external behavior, but also affects us internally, within the heart. It seems to be characterized by any of three attitudes: a preoccupation with gratifying physical desires; craving and accumulating material things; or an obsession with one's status or importance.
By contrast, God calls us to restraint, a spirit of generosity, and to living service. To achieve these virtues---and their fruit of inner peace---Our Lady ask us to surmount our worldliness through acts of sacrifice. During Lent especially, we are encouraged to practice some form of self-denial as a gesture of love for God and to strengthen our spiritual lives.
Application:
If you have not already done so, choose a special sacrifice for the remainder of Lent, as the Gospa asks.
Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 08 - GIVE THIS LOVE TO OTHERS
"With ever-living ardor, contemplate Christ in the mystery of the Eucharist. Following His example, be ready in all circumstances to make yourselves instruments of mercy and communion. The secret of pastoral success is the crucified and risen Lord, Whom we adore in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. As you well know, in order to be eloquent signs of His love and instigators of His peace in all environments, everyone is first of all asked to cultivate an intimate and constant familiarity with Him. From intense participation in the Eucharist springs the spiritual energy needed to bring all projects of goodness to fruition." (Pope John Paul II, February 19, 2005)
The Cross suffered by you, Jesus Christ, freed me from the slavery of the devil and wed me to the Divinity with an indissoluble bond.
"I am one who came up out of Egypt, and pray God none of my seed shall return thither
. . . . I fell in love with the Blessed Sacrament from the beginning—and by the mercy of God never have fallen out again . . . . Out of wickedness and sloth I almost ceased to practice my religion . . . . Not for me the Hound of Heaven, but the never-ceasing silent appeal of Tabernacle, and the sense of starving hunger" (J. R. R. Tolkien).
Mother Teresa -
It is very important that right from the beginning we simply live the gospel. Live the gospel in prayer; live the gospel in words.

Meditations by Padre Pio -
I understand very well, that your Calvary is becoming more and more painful. But remember that it was on Calvary the Jesus redeemed us, and the salvation of redeemed souls must be accomplished there (Letters III, p. 452).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
You cannot be indifferent and be content
"The Eastern World has struck on the secret of inner peace by suggesting that inner happiness is dependent on the control and limitation of desires. St. Paul said: `I have learned to be content with what I have' (Philippians 4: 11). Contentment is not indifference though the ignorant sometimes make that identification."

Mar 8 - GIVE THIS LOVE TO OTHERS
The Blessed Mother speaks of love to the prayer group on Mt. Podbrdo:
"Dear children, tonight your Mother is happy to see so many of you. I desire, dear children, that from today you begin to live a different life. Your Mother gives you her love and asks that you give this love to others so that we can all live the Easter message. When you return to your homes, conclude the day with prayer (Visionary Prayer Group March 4, 1989)
Of love, St. Peter writes:
Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins (1 Pt 4:8).
Reflection:
The message of love of neighbor reaches far back in our Judeo-Christian roots. The rabbi Hillel was a renowned scribe in Jerusalem about the time of Christ's birth; he seems to have died about A.D. 10 at an advanced age. He was called "the Great" or "the Elder," and his interpretations of the Law were more generous than others. He is said to have been the grandfather of Gamaliel (Acts 22:3) who taught St. Paul. Jesus must have heard often of Hillel, and could possibly have spoken with him as a youth during the three days he remained in the Temple. Here is one of the tales Our Lord probably heard. A certain Gentile came to Shammai (Shammai was the leader of the more strict school of interpretation) and said that he would like to become a convert, but could not stay long in Jerusalem. "Can you teach me the whole Torah while I am standing on one foot?"
Shammai sent him away angrily. So the Gentile went to Hillel with the same question. Hillel admitted him as a convert, and said, "Whatever is hateful to thee, do not do to thy fellow man. This is the whole Torah, all the rest is commentary. Now go and study."

Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 07 - PREPARE THROUGH RENUNCIATION
"In this vale of tears our life is a continual warfare. We battle against
the enemies of our salvation: the world with its doctrine and example, our own corrupted nature, and the archfiend of human souls, who, the Prince of the Apostles [St. Peter] says, 'as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour' (1 Peter 5:8). We receive many a wound in this conflict—as often as we succumb to temptation. Great is our need of a physician, and our Physician is Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament" (Fr. Lukas, Etlin, O.S.B.).
"Return to me with all your heart" (Joel 2:12). "The love of the Blessed Sacrament is the grand and royal devotion of faith; it is faith multiplied, faith intensified, faith glorified . . . Out of it there comes three special graces which are the very life and soul of an interior life: an overflowing charity to all around us, a thirst to sacrifice ourselves for God, and a generous and filial love of Holy Church" (Fr. Frederick Faber).
Mother Teresa -
Love until it hurts; it takes deep sacrifice to proclaim the word of God.
My sufferings took as if forms of light, and they placed themselves before the Lord as in an act of adoration.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Therefore, don't fear at all, but consider yourself extremely fortunate to have been worthy of participating in the sufferings of the God-Man. So there is no abandonment, but love, and great love which God is showing you. Your state is not one of punishment, but one of exquisite love. Therefore bless the Lord for this, and resign yourself to drinking the chalice of Gethsemane (Letters III, p. 445).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
It's the ol' "bait and switch" in advertising
"Contentment depends upon the control of our desires. Advertising serves many needs but it has also made luxuries appear as necessities, and created a desire for goods which the individual cannot possibly possess in their fullness."
MEDJUGORJE DAY BY DAY
Mar 7 - PREPARE THROUGH RENUNCIATION
During Lent of 1988, Our Lady said to Ivan's prayer group:
"Prepare yourself for the time of Lent by renouncing something. During Lent I will need your help for the accomplishment and fulfillment of all my plans (Visionary Prayer Group February 1, 1988)
Ezekiel also asks us to renounce something—the spirit of sin:
But if the wicked turn away from all their sins that they have committed and keep all my statues and do what is lawful and right, they shall surely live; they shall not die. None of the transgressions that they have committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness that they have done they shall live (Ez 18:21-22).
Reflection:
The concept of renunciation or penance often has a negative connotation; to give up something for Lent or Advent seems to be an imposition that no one welcomes. And yet the actual effect of penance is to set us spiritually free; we develop a greater desire for God and a growing freedom from material things---and thus peace begins to take root in our hearts. When we begin to live this interior freedom from exterior things, we begin rapidly in the spiritual life.
Fr. Slavko Barbaric, spiritual director to the visionaries, has written:
Once you embrace God, you let go of other things, because there is no room for them anymore. So the core issue is not giving up luxury or wealth; you have found something better when you have found God. God leaves no room in your life for other things.
For instance, a candidate for the Olympic swimming team will need to "renounce" smoking if he is to realize his dream of competing for the gold medal. When Our Lady asks a penance or sacrifice from us, it is so that we can win in the spiritual life, with its attendant gift of inner peace. The issue is one of liberation or freedom from material appetites that shackle us from embracing God more and more with our hearts.
Application:
Let us heed the Gospa's request today by renouncing (giving up) something special so that we can grow spiritually.
Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 06 - BE CONVERTED!
"The sacred host exposed on the altar gives my soul food for `admiration.' I admire my Divine Spouse in His humility but above all His love which has placed Him to be there" (St. Katharine).
The Cross prepares the soul for patience. The Cross opens Heaven and earth together, that is, God and the soul.. The virtue of the Cross is powerful and when it enters into a soul, it has the power to take away the rust caused by earthly things. Not only that but it gives the soul boredom, annoyance and scorn for earthly things, and instead it gives it the taste for Heavenly things. But the virtue of the Cross is recognized by only a few, that is why many despise it.
"Behold hidden within the Sacred Host, O my beloved Jesus, the virtue which I need above all others! My soul thirst for charity: for that clear crystal water of charity which rests within your Sacred Heart as within a deep unfathomable well. I come to drink at this pure and holy Source that I may be cleansed, and may be blessed, and may receive life from it, and light and love" (Concepcion Cabrera de Armida, Servant of God).
Mother Teresa -
You are to be that presence of Christ to each other.
Love each other tenderly as Jesus loves each one of you. Tender love for each other speaks much louder than all the words you can say.
Grace for him who receives it, is light, it is the way, it is nourishment, it is strength, it is comfort. And for him who does not receive it, it is converted into fire and punishment.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Firstly I want to tell you that Jesus needs those who groan with him at human sinfulness and, for this reason, He is leading you along paths filled with suffering, about which you tell me in your letter. But may His charity always be blessed; that charity which knows how to mix the sweet with the bitter and convert the transitory sufferings of life to eternal reward (Letters III, p. 417).
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Where your heart is determines your worth!
"Desire is to the soul what gravitation is to matter. When we know our desires, we know the direction our soul is taking. If desire is Heavenly, we go upwards, if it is wholly earthly, we go downwards. Desire is like raw material out of which we fashion either our virtues

MARCH 6 - BE CONVERTED!
The season of Lent has always been a time of repentance, conversion, and penance---a time for turning back to the Lord, renouncing sin, and beginning anew. This is the call of Our Lady today:
Be converted! It will be too late when the sing comes. Beforehand, several warnings will be given to the world. Have people hurry to be converted. I need your prayers and your penance.
My heart is burning with love for you; it suffices for you to be converted. To ask questions is unimportant. Be converted. Hurry to proclaim it. Tell everyone that it is my wish, and that I do not cease repeating it. Be converted, be converted.
It is not difficult for me to suffer for you. I beg you, be converted. I will pray to my Son to spare you the punishment. Be converted with without delay. You do not know the plans of God; you will not be able to know them. You will not know what God will send, nor what he will do. I ask you only to be converted. That is what I wish.
Be converted! Be ready for everything, but be converted. That is all I wish to say to you. Renounce everything else. All that is part of conversion. Good bye, and may peace be with you (Locution Jelena & Mirajana April 25, 1983.)
Our Lady's message is echoed in the Acts of the Apostles:
In this way God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer. Repent therefore, and turn to God so that yours sins may be wiped out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah appointed for you, this is, Jesus (Acts 3:18-20).
Reflection:
During this Lenten season, let us take the Blessed Mother seriously and seek conversion in renewed prayer, penance, and works of love. This will bring us great joy at Easter and a confirmation of the Gospa's words today: "My heart is burning with love for you."
Application:
During Lent, set aside extra time for prayer and works of charity. Be active in the special Lenten devotions of your local parish. Go the extra mile for Our Lord and Our Lady.
Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 05 - Significance of Ashes
"In the Eucharistic sacrifice, we bring the suffering of all our brothers and sisters who live in poverty and darkness to unite with the sufferings of Jesus on the cross" (Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta).
the bridle to the horse. What would happen to the horse if man would not use the bridle? The Cross tames him and restrains him. It softens him, pacifies him and leads him by the hand.
"The Eucharist is connected with the Passion. If Jesus had not established the Eucharist we would have forgotten the crucifixion. It would have faded into the past and we would have forgotten that Jesus loved us. There is a saying that to be far away from the eyes is to be far away from the heart. To make sure that we do not forget, Jesus gave us the Eucharist as a memorial of his love" (Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta).
Mother Teresa -
You have a challenge from Jesus to meet:
He has shed the light, and you will take His light and lighten every heart you meet.
Everything that is suffering to us touches Jesus
Significance of Ashes
Ash Wednesday opens up this season of penitence.
"Remember, man, you are dust, and unto dust you shall return."
So says the priest as he makes the sign of cross with ashes on our foreheads. The ashes are made by burning the previous year's blessed palms. This is a vivid reminder of our mortal nature. We are bodies fashioned from dust. "Then the Lord God formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being" (Gen 2:7). Our bodies were made from nothing, and will return to nothing when we die. Ashes are a symbol of this passing world, a reminder of our death.
The imposition of ashes is also a symbol of penance and sorrow for our sins. The practice of sprinkling ashes on one's head as a sign of penance was customary even in the Old Testament—in the Book of Esther, Mordecai put on sackcloth and ashes (Est 4:1); Job sat in sackcloth and ashes to repent (Job 42:6); all of Ninevah put on sackcloth and ashes to repent after Jonah's preaching (Jon 3:5-6). In early Christian centuries the imposition of ashes was only used for public sinners, but around the year 1000 popes and all faithful started to receive the ashes as a sincere and external token that we are all poor sinners.
Ashes remind us of the curse from Genesis. After Adam and Eve committed the Original Sin, God expelled them from the Garden of Eden with these words:
Cursed be the ground because of you; in toil shall you eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to you, and you shall eat the plants in the field. In the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, since out of it you were taken; for dust you are and unto dust you shall return (Gen 3:17-19).
The Church repeats these words as the cross is traced on our foreheads "Remember, man, you are dust and to dust you shall return." Thus this opens a theme that is echoed throughout Lent and then decidedly pronounced during the Easter Vigil. In the Exsultet, the Church rejoices in this Original Sin, because it brought the Redemption: "O happy fault, O necessary sin of Adam, which gained for us so great a Redeemer!"
The liturgy of Ash Wednesday gives us guidelines for our 40 day journey. We pray for blessing upon our endeavors in the opening prayer at Mass:
"Lord, protect us in our struggle against evil. As we begin the discipline of Lent, make this season holy by our self-denial."
The Old Testament reading is from the Prophet Joel 2:18. Here the message is very clear: do penance, but avoid an outward show, "Rend your hearts and not your garments." Our penance should not be mere hypocrisy. It is an interior change that is more important.
Love is that which goes above everything. Therefore he who loves much, and not he who does much, will be more acceptable to God
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Walk with simplicity in the ways of the Lord and do not torment your spirit. Your must hate your faults, but with a quiet hate, not troublesome and restless. We must be patient with them and gain from them through holy humility. Without that patience, instead of diminishing, your imperfections will increase constantly, as there is nothing that nourishes our defects like restlessness, and the haste to drive them away.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
There is a difference between good and evil
"Thus humility is the pathway to Truth and inner peace is grounded on the recognition of two dimensions beyond the flatness of the mass level: one is the recognition of the dimension of height, which is the Sanctity above, the other is the dimension of depth, which is the existence of evil within the human heart."

MARCH 5 - MAKE A SPECIAL DECISION FOR PRAYER
The Mother of Jesus urges us to pray as a defense against evil. To Ivan's prayer group:
"Dear children, your Mother warns you tonight that Satan is active in a special way these days. Do not allow emptiness inside of you, but fill this emptiness with prayer. Dear children, prayer is the best medicine these days to defend yourselves against evil. And so, dear children, make a special decision for prayer during Lent. Tonight I expect you to pray the Glorious Mysteries when you return home." (Visionaries Prayer Group February 19, 1990)
Fittingly, Psalm 54 is entitled, "Confident Prayer in Great Peril": But surely, God is my helper; The Lord is the upholder of my life. He will repay my enemies for their evil. In your faithfulness, put an end to them. With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good. For he has delivered me from every trouble, And my eye has looked in triumph on My enemies. ---Psalm 54:4-7
Reflection:
As Our Lady tells us today, prayer is our chief weapon against evil. It is of such importance that she once told Jelena, the elocutionist, "I have nothing else to tell you, but pray, pray, pray."
In a sermon on prayer, Fr. Tomislav Vlasic, formerly assigned to Medjugorje, made the analogy that, "Just as we find ourselves talking to a friend for hours on end, so it is just as natural to talk with Jesus Christ." On problems in prayer, he suggests that, "If we are distracted or absent-minded in prayer, it may be that we are too far from God, too devoted to the world, and have not given enough time to seeking him in prayer."
He adds: "I therefore invite you to a continuous deepening of prayer. The Holy Spirit will enlighten you each step of the way and Satan will be completely disarmed."
Application:
Let's simply heed the Virgin's advice today: "Don't allow emptiness inside of you; fill this emptiness with prayer…it is the best medicine to defend yourselves against evil."
Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 04 - JESUS GIVES HIMSELF TO YOU!
"From the shedding of His blood, came our redemption. From the beating of His heart in love for us, came the Blessed Eucharist" (Fr. Leonard Feeney, M.I.C.M.).
Your Cross St. Francis De Sales
The everlasting God has in His wisdom foreseen from eternity the cross that He now presents to you as a gift from His inmost heart.
This cross He now sends you He has
considered with His all-knowing eyes,
understood with His divine mind,
tested with His wise justice, warmed with
loving arms and weighed with His own hands to see that it be not one inch too large and not one ounce too heavy for you.
He has blessed it with His holy Name,
anointed it with His consolation,
taken one last glance at you and your courage,
and then sent it to you from heaven,
a special greeting from God to you,
an alms of the all-merciful love of God. Amen!
Mother Teresa -
Christ must be the light that shines through you, and the people looking at you must see only Jesus.
It is necessary to empty yourself of everything in order to be able to be filled with the All of God.
Meditations by Padre Pio –
Let us walk always, even with slow steps, as long as we have good intentions, we cannot but make progress. No, it is not necessary to be always attentive to everything for the exercize of the virtues.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Dare to be right!
"Mediocrity can be a terrific form of tyranny, and it has a thousand and one penalties for those who forsake the external standards for an inward change of heart to a line of conduct above the level. When a thousand people are walking to the edge of an abyss, the one who is seen walking in the opposite direction is taunted for not following the mob. We must be humble to bear up under these reproaches and dare to be right when the majority is wrong."

MARCH 4 - JESUS GIVES HIMSELF TO YOU!
The Virgin speaks to Jelena of the joy of salvation:
How can you not be happy? Jesus gives himself to you! I wish to fill the souls of all. But I am sad this evening, for many have not prepared themselves for Easter. Thus Jesus will not be able to unite himself to their souls on that great day (Locution Jelena and Mirajana April 14, 1984)
Paul explains salvation as a pure gift of Christ:
But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God (Eph 2:4-8).
Reflection:
St. Paul emphasizes that we do not need to live any longer under sin's power. The penalty of sin and its power over us were destroyed by Christ on the cross. Through him we stand acquitted, "not guilty," before God (cf. Rom 3:21-22).
Our Lady urges us to accept and rejoice in this gift of salvation. When someone gives you a gift, do you say, "That's very nice, now how much do I owe you?" No the appropriate response is, "Thank you." Yet some of us, even after we've been given the gift of salvation, feel obligated to try to work or earn our own way to God. But because salvation and even faith are pure gifts, our response can only be one of gratitude, praise, and joy.
Application:
Have we ever accepted, deep down, the gift of salvation? Today, pray that you may experience the awesome impact of this greatest of gifts, as Our Lady urges.
Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 02 - Thank you for each sacrifice
"I have a burning thirst to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament, and I find hardly anyone who strives, according to my desire, to allay this thirst by making me some return of love." (Words of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary)
"In the Eucharist the Church is as it were at the foot of the cross with Mary, united with the offering and intercession of Christ" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1370).
Mother Teresa -
God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen. And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens.
And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be: oneness with God, oneness with Jesus.
Peace is light to the soul, light to your neighbor and light to God
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Beware of anxiety and restlessness because there is nothing that more greatly impedes progress towards perfection. Sweetly place your heart in the Wounds of Our Lord, but not with force. Have great confidence in His Mercy, because He will never abandon you. But do not fail, for this reason, to tightly embrace His Holy Cross.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Just because everyone's doing it doesn't make it right!
"Numbers become the measure of goodness. If a sufficient number can be counted who violate a certain Commandment of God, then it is argued: `50 million adulterers cannot be wrong. We have to change the Commandments.' The excellence of moral excellence does not reside in any external conformity to a conventional standard, but in an inward disposition under the control of a recognized principle to which we submit whether we agree with it or not."

Mar 2 Thank you for each sacrifice
During Lent of 1986, Our Lady gave the following message:
Dear children, today I invite you to live this Lent with your small sacrifices. Thank you for each sacrifice which you have already presented to me. Dear children, continue to live in this way and, with your love, help me to present your offering to God, who will reward you. (WM 3-13-86).
St Paul also speaks of sacrifice:
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. (Heb 13:16)
Reflection:
"Live this Lent," Our Lady says today, "with your small sacrifices." The Gospa knows well that God lovingly receives our sacrifices and uses them to draw us closer to Him, and to aid in no less than in the salvation of mankind.
Sacrifices are the true sign of love, for on the eternal level we gain nothing for ourselves, but direct our action outward for the benefit of another. For instance, we can speak many words of concern for the mentally handicapped, but it is quite a different thing to sacrifice several hours a week to help out a local center, especially if we find it a demanding experience. In much the same way, our sacrifice of giving up, say, alcohol or coffee for Lent is a concrete action of love for God that goes beyond mere words. A sacrifice made with love, as Mary urges us, is even redemptive in the hands of God, for it becomes joined to the greatest love-sacrifice of all, that of Christ on the cross.
In addition, sacrifices such as fasting amplify the power of prayer many fold. For again, it is a concrete expression of love - more than words - that directly touch the heart of God.
Thus Our Lady's message, "live this Lent with your small sacrifices," refers to a living love for God that is proved by more than words. It says to Him, "See that I love you by my sacrifices, by my self denial, I am serious. I love you even when it hurts, just as you loved me.
Application:
St. Therese, the Little Flower, once prayed and fasted for the conversion of a murderer on death row, who was also an atheist. On the day of his execution, at the gallows, he astonished everyone by reaching for the chaplains crucifix and kissing it. How aware are you of the great power you possess in prayer with sacrifice? For what intention can it be offered this week?

Thursday Adoration March 04, 2010
Walking as A Child Toward Jesus!
Today I spent an hour alone with Jesus and His Holy Mother in adoration and prayed for all with special needs and intentions. Before saying a rosary to Our Lady I knelt and talked inwardly to her and I asked her to take my heart and replace it with the protection of your motherly mantle. Then I asked our Mother if she wanted to speak to me as I am hers. The Blessed Mother did speak to me saying; My child, there is so much sin n the world that the Lord our God suffers much. Please.pray, pray, pray! Pray that those who have lost their way will return to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Thank you for having responded to my call.
Note: In the nearly nine years that I have been receiving messages from Jesus, this is only the second, perhaps third time that Our Blessed Mother has spoken to me.
After completion of the Five Sorrowful Mysteries of the rosary, I sat with Jesus and my mind drifted back to that time so long ago when I was 6 ½ years old and close to death when I picked up the rosaries and prayed to God to spare my life. And when I saw graced with His spirit in my small bedroom.
Then I prayed to Jesus, Speak Lord (if it be Your will), Your servant listens. Jesus responded to my heart saying: Eileen My child, walk slowly toward Me, taking steps as a child learning how to walk.
Know that I will be there waiting to accept you when you reach the end of your walk. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.

"When you hear of an earthquake, no matter the number on the Richter Scale, the under earth connection has a great force on the entire web of quakes activity. The shaking is having a great effect on the poles in the shifting of the axis.
Your weather will change severely: storms will be powerful, great heat and severe cold is coming. Power will go out. Are you prepared? Do you have a second source of heat and for light? PREPARE!!!
Amen I, tell you- - -ALL will happen soon!"

Solemnity of Mary
Dear Children,
Today I invite you as a family to pray with your Heavenly Mother for world peace. The world has entered into a New Year, a world which continues to live without God in their lives in many parts of the world. Many have abandoned their faith and have embraced the ways of the world. Sin continues to increase. Prayer is the medicine for all unconverted sinners. Little children, remain strong in prayer for there will be much more suffering throughout the world, and many will be affected by these sufferings. Pray with your Heavenly Mother and fear nothing for I am with you. Trust in my powerful intercession. Offer your masses, rosaries, visits to the Blessed Sacrament, frequent confessions and reading holy scripture for the conversion of the world. Do this daily, if possible. Do not abandon the call to holiness. I am praying for you as family and securing the path that will lead you to Heaven.
Pray, children, pray for all the evil in unconverted souls. Thank you for listening to my message.
Our Lady’s words to me: My angel, offer your prayers and sufferings for the sufferings in the world." I saw many people suffering and many people dying.

Behold, beloved of the Father,
We the three Archangels bring you guidance from Heaven. Ponder all that we share with you
.
Beloved, behold the vision before you:
The Archangels showed me the vision of December 7, 2009. Again I saw major earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, severe weather, hot and cold, the sufferings in the economy worldwide. I saw the seriousness of the calamities and pestilence that would continue throughout the world. The Archangel Michael said: Beloved, as sin increases, suffering will continue to cover many parts of the world. Many souls continue to live without God and thus ignore the warnings from Heaven. Pray and fast, beloved, asking the mercy of the eternal Father upon a world that continues to walk in darkness.
I saw myself praying where there were very tall trees. Then the Archangel Michael said: Pray for Spain." Then he added: Also for Rome, Italy." Again no explanation was given as to why.
Then the Archangel Michael said for me to look up into the sky and I saw the letters that spelled Revolution and these letters were surrounded by fire. Then St. Michael said to me: Beloved, pray and fast for all that we the three Archangels show you. You will suffer much as you pray and fast, but do not give up on prayer." The vision ended.

My child, My peace be with you on this day that celebrates this journey, this mission in which I have given you. My Blood flows My daughter and the fountain of My mercy is pouring out but I say to you on this day that much prayer is needed.
I tell you My child that the days, the hour is rolling ahead like claps of thunder and cities will become like deserts. An island in the middle of the Pacific will descend into the ocean as the earth continues to respond to the depth of man’ssins.
Repent My children! Repent for you have been given this extended time of grace to mend your lives and change your sinful ways. My words to My children are to pray, pray, pray for little time remains for your hour has now come. Heaven is warning you dear children for mercy and justice are becoming one through Us, your Triune God, for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.

My child, I say to My children, do you not see that all will be accountable for themselves? I say to you My children you are given one life, one soul. Do you see My children you speak words but your tongues do not always have direction. You use your actions that do not always reflect Mine.
Each and every word you speak, each action that you possess is yours to be accounted for. No one will stand with you at judgment. Your neighbor cannot atone for you, only you can atone for yourself. Allow Me to posses your thoughts, guide your tongues and in turn your actions will be of Me.
Too many seek to look to the faults of their neighbor instead of the faults of themselves. I say to you that the devil may use the mind to trick the body to trap the soul. But it is I Jesus who speaks to the heart to drive the mind to do the will of your Heavenly Father to save your soul.
Now go forth dear children in love and action of Your Creator for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.

SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 2010 - CORE GROUP
MY PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS LITTLE CHILDREN,
IT IS WITH GREAT JOY THAT I DRAW YOU FROM THE WORLD AND PLACE YOU IN THAT SPECIAL PLACE OF RESERVE IN MY HEART. AS YOU HAVE LONGED FOR THIS GATHERING, SO TOO HAVE I. I UNDERSTAND YOUR HEARTS AND I KNOW YOUR QUESTIONS AND ANXIETIES. DEAR SWEET CHILDREN, I AM YOUR MOTHER AND I WILL HELP YOU IN ALL SITUATIONS - TRUST MY IMMACULATE HEART. IT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU BY GOD THE FATHER, THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY CARE, ALWAYS UNDER MY PROTECTION AND FOREVER WITHIN MY HEART WHICH IS ENTWINED WITH THE SACRED HEART OF MY SON.
AS YOU YEARN FOR MORE KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM, I BRING TO YOU WHAT THE FATHER DEEMS NECESSARY FOR TODAY.
YOUR NATION IS FACING AN EVIL OF UNKNOWN MAGNITUDE. THIS EVIL IS KNOWN TO GOD AND SO HE SEEKS OUT THE FAITHFUL SOULS TO PRAY AND HIS ARMY TO DO BATTLE. YOUR NATION MUST RETURN TO GOD AND THE PROCESS IS THUS VERY SLOW. BUT EVIL WILL NOT WIN OVER THE HAND OF GOD. THOUGH HIS HAND HAS BEEN REMOVED TO ALLOW MAN TO SEE CLEARLY - IT SHALL BE ONCE MORE HELD OVER YOUR COUNTRY - THAT THERE BE NO DOUBT THAT THERE IS GOD WHO IS ALMIGHTY AND HE WILL FOREVER BE MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY EVIL. SO I SAY TO YOU TRUST, TRUST, TRUST. SO OFTEN YOU HAVE BEEN SHOWN THE POWER OF GOD, YET YOU AT TIMES GIVE IN TO THE TROUBLES THAT SURROUND YOU. I TELL YOU TO PUT ASIDE ANY FEAR OR ANXIETY AND KNOW THAT WHAT I HAVE SAID TO YOU THROUGH THESE PETALS FROM HEAVEN IS TRUE AND IS FOR ALL TIME. IT IS YOU THAT IS WEAK, NOT GOD. YOU GIVE IN TO SO MANY WORRIES AND YOU FORGET THAT YOU WERE CHOSEN FOR GOD?S WORK IN THESE TIMES. THEREFORE, IT IS NOT THE WORLD YOU SHOULD HAVE SO MUCH CONCERN FOR, BUT THE STATE OF THE HOLY CHURCH - PUT YOUR HEARTS INTO THE TRUTH, IT IS THE TRUTH THAT YOU MY DEAR LITTLE CHILDREN, THAT SHALL CARRY IT INTO THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH.
YOU ARE INDEED AWARE OF THE PAIN OF THE HOLY CHURCH. IT SHALL SURVIVE, BUT ITS WOUNDS SHALL BE DEEP AND TAKE THEIR TOLL. SO MANY ARE LEAD ASTRAY BECAUSE PRIESTS AND OTHERS HAVE FORSAKEN THE TRUTHS OF JESUS CHRIST. THE PEOPLE ARE NOT NOURISHED AND THEY SCATTER AS THEIR SHEPHERDS TURN AWAY FROM THEIR FLOCKS. MY SON KNOWS WHAT IS IN THE HEART OF EACH PRIEST AND HE WILL SHOW THEM ALL OF IT AT THE MOMENT OF DECISION. THE EARTH WILL QUAKE OVER AND OVER BECAUSE OF THE SINS OF THE PRIESTS. THEY MUST BE SHAKEN AND MADE AWARE OF THEIR DISCREPANCIES, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BECOME SO BLINDED BY PRIDE. SEEK AFTER HOLY PRIEST - THOSE I CAN CALL MY SONS. THEY WILL FEED YOU WITH THE HOLY EUCHARIST AND CLEANSE YOUR SOULS. THEY WILL BE YOUR STRENGTH AS THE CHURCH BEGINS TO CRUMBLE UNDER THE FORCE OF EVIL. BUT GOD?S HAND HAS ALREADY MADE READY THE REMEDY, AND THOSE WHO ARE FAITHFUL AND PERSEVERE WILL SEE THE CHURCH RISE ONCE MORE IN SPLENDOR AND IT WILL BE AS NEVER BEFORE.
MY CHILDREN, YOU HAVE COME TOGETHER BECAUSE YOU HAVE ENDURED A TIME AS NEVER BEFORE. YOU FIND YOURSELVES AT A DISTANCE FROM ONE ANOTHER AND THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN YOU HAVE BEEN DENIED THE COMFORT YOU FIND IN EACH OTHER. THIS TOO HAS BEEN NECESSARY THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO STAY CONNECTED WITHIN MY HEART, DESPITE ANY AND ALL OBSTACLES. AS YOU CONTINUE TO HOLD TOGETHER THE UNITY WHICH HAS BEEN TESTED IN MANY, MANY WAYS, YOU WILL BECOME ONLY STRONGER. IT IS NOT THE BODY WHICH MUST ENDURE, BUT THE HEART AND THE SOUL. EACH HEART HAS BEEN KISSED AND EMBRACED BY THIS MOTHER, BUT EACH HEART AND EACH SOUL HAS BEEN EMERGED IN THE GRACE OF GOD. IT IS GOD?S GRACE THAT SHALL KEEP YOU AND STRENGTHEN YOU. YOU HAVE EVERY GRACE ATTACHED TO YOU, ONLY TO BE AWAKENED AS YOU PROCEED TO THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH. OH MY CHILDREN, YOU HAVE BEEN FORTIFIED AND MADE READY FOR THESE TIMES WHICH ARE MOST DIFFICULT. YOU HAVE MADE READY TO FORGE AHEAD AND COME TO REST AT THE SIDE OF MY SON. HE KNOWS YOU, HE LOVES YOU. WHEN MANKIND WITNESSES THE GREAT ACT OF MERCY - THEY SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO LOOK INTO THE EYES OF MY SON. YOU MY CHILDREN ARE ASSURED OF THIS BECAUSE I HAVE REVEALED IT THROUGH THESE PETALS FROM HEAVEN. BE AT PEACE AS YOUR HEARTS CAN ENDURE. LET ME LOVE YOU AND CARE FOR YOU.
MY BELOVED PRIESTS-SONS, I VISIT YOU TODAY IN THIS SPECIAL WAY BECAUSE YOU ARE MY BELOVED SONS AND I LOVE YOU BEYOND COMPREHENSION. TO YOU I SAY, BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO HOLD TO THE TRUTH. GOD HAS PROVIDED FOR YOU IN A MOST SPECIAL WAY. NOURISH YOUR FLOCKS THOUGH EXHAUSTION IS INEVITABLE. YOU WILL HAVE WHAT YOU NEED TO STAY IN GRACE AND OVERCOME FATIGUE AND INSULTS. THE INSULTS WILL COME FROM THOSE WHO ARE FILLED WITH PRIDE AND THINK THEMSELVES ABOVE YOU. YOU WILL BE LADEN WITH THE WORK OF SAVING SOULS, AND MY SONS, YOU WILL BE GIVEN THE GRACE TO DO SO. TRUST IS MOST IMPORTANT, EVEN WHEN YOU SEEM TO BE ABANDONED. NEVER WILL YOU BE LEFT ALONE. YOU HAVE ONLY TO CLOSE YOUR EYES IN PRAYER AND YOU WILL BE FILLED TO OVERFLOWING WITH LOVE AND MERCY. NOW TAKE UP THE CROSS AND BRING IT TO THOSE WHO LONG FOR SALVATION. I LOVE YOU MY BELOVED SONS, AND I CARRY EACH OF YOU IN MY HEART.
MY PRECIOUS CHILDREN, YOU TOO HAVE A GREAT TASK AHEAD. BUT YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN MADE READY. AND SO I BRING TO YOU MY LOVE IN AN OVERWHELMING WAY. YOU ARE CRADLED AND BLESSED, BECAUSE YOU ARE MY LITTLE ONES GIVEN TO ME BY GOD AND I SHALL BE WITH YOU FOREVER.
I GO TO EACH OF YOU TODAY, AND AS I HOLD YOU TO ME, I BRING INTO YOUR HEARTS THE LOVE OF THIS MOTHER. MAY THIS LOVE ENTICE YOU TO RECALL ALL I HAVE PROMISED YOU, THUS BRINGING YOU CONSOLATION IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES. AND SO WITH THE GRACE GOD DESIRES FOR YOU THIS DAY, I BLESS YOU IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
MAY YOU GIVE PRAISE AND THANKS TO GOD - NOW AND FOREVER.
Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 03 - PEOPLE RESUME THEIR BAD HABITS
"Making reference to the Blood that flowed from the wounds of the Crucified Christ, especially from the wound in his side, evoke[s] the significance of the Eucharistic Sacrament. The Church 'de Eucharistia vivit' (lives on the Eucharist), because from that Blood she comes into being and draws vigor for her daily commitment to the task of announcing the Gospel." (Pope John Paul II, February 19, 2005)
The cross is to the creature as the bridle to the horse. What would happen to the horse if man would not use the bridle?
"Jesus in the Eucharist, we glorify You, above all, in union with Mary Immaculate, Queen of Heaven. We offer You through her, her homage of boundless love and fervent reparation. Yes, adorable Jesus, it is in union with her that we come today to praise Your infinite mercies; with her we wish to weep over
Your mystic agony in the Tabernacle where You are forsaken and saddened by the ingratitude of so many!" (Fr. Mateo Crawley-Boevey).
Mother Teresa
The fruit of Silence is Prayer.
The fruit of Prayer is Faith.
The fruit of Faith is Love.
The fruit of Love is Service.
The fruit of Service is Peace.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Don't be upset when you are unable to meditate, receive Communion or carry out all the pious practices. In the meantime, try to make up for this in different manner, by keeping yourself united to Our Lord with a loving will, with ejaculatory prayers and Spiritual Communions.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
It takes courage to follow your convictions
"Humility is required to challenge mediocrity; one must be ready to brave the taunts of those who knock anyone in the head who raises himself above the masses."
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.
Mar 3 - PEOPLE RESUME THEIR BAD HABITS
The Blessed Mother was in tears when she gave this message to the visionaries:
"So many people who have been here, and have started to pray, to be converted, to fast, and to do penance, quickly forget when they return home, and resume their bad habits." (Special Message April 24, 1984)
Our Lady's implicit call to repentance is echoed by the prophet Joel:
Put on sackcloth and lament, you priests; wail, you ministers of the altar. Come, pass the night in sackcloth, You ministers of my God! Grain offering and drink offering Are withheld from the house of your God. Sanctify a fast, Call a solemn assembly, Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land To the house of the Lord your God, And cry out to the Lord. Joel 1 :13-14
Reflection :
Lent is a time for renewal and repentance, for turning back to God with our whole heart. Although we may have stepped backwards in our spiritual journey, now is the time to rearrange our priorities, to recommit ourselves to the Lord. Of this renewal, Pope Paul VI wrote :
We must aim above all at an inner renewal, a liberation from the mere following of conventions, a new departure in our way of thinking. More than anything else, we must lament our shortcomings before God, and the community of our brethren. We must renew the self-understanding each must have of himself or herself as a child of God, as a Christian, as a member of the Church. May our Lenten renewal reward us with a deeper share of God's love and peace at the feast of Easter.
Application :
Remembering Our Lady in tears, reflect on how you can deepen your spiritual life during these remaining days of Lent.
Message Thru Marie - February 25 - March 1, 2010
Feb 25 7:15 am, luminous mysteries
I was finishing the 4th mystery : transfiguration when
Jesus: I transfigured at night,
I became LIGHT
I showed my men my DIVINITY
I did this prior to my Passion.
So again, this will come to pass
prior to your coming passion
I shall show you my LIGHT
THis great light shall shine, encompass
all men,
It shall be your last WARNING
If you still do not CONVERT
I can no longer save you (he was not angry but filled with longing and sadness)
Trust in ME
Trust in My MERCY
Souls that trust in My Mercy
I shall pour abundant graces - more than
in any generation past (has been given)
I thirst for such souls
Hurry ----- Hurry ----- come to ME
Entrust everything to ME
I shall protect you
enlighten you
strengthen you
empower you
humble you
mold you
guide you
use you to enlighten others
decrease your self
increase myself
increase my gifts in you
*This illuminating light that will penetrate
through man's conscience -
let me describe this light a bit more. It is very
brilliant - maybe ten times the brightness of our sun -
It is bright white not yellow. Second, it does not
burn even if it is more brilliant. Third, I think and forgive
me if I'm mistaken it will be seen with our
spiritual eyes NOT our physical eyes. Fourth,
when it penetrates you, it is as if your physical body
is gone, it is just you as a pure soul that will be
bathed in this DIVINE LIGHT. This light is GOD. One will
enter and be submerged in the LIGHT OF GOD. I caught only
a glimpse of an experience of this but you will not be scared of it.
It is so beautiful and loving an experience. After, you will not have
a doubt that God is Love, God is Light and God exists.
Feb 28 sun 8 am, glorious mysteries
I prayed for people of Chile - esp divine mercy chaplet.
Jesus: Scientists were amazed at the scale of
this quake, but I tell you it will only escalate.
The great superpower USA lies to the North but it is
destined for greater destruction.
On the economic front, the stage has been set
by the freemasons decades past. They
are pushing thru with their plans to
create this great collapse. While some are now
waking up to this possibility, majority are lulled
into hopefulness that this great nation will rise up
and save itself still.
Yet it will shake on all sides as disasters strike it
from quakes, drought, tornadoes, famine,
plagues. It has been warned you before! Have my
people changed? have any gone back to ME?
Me: Lord, please give them more time, more
opportunity to know you. If you just come to them
the way you came and show yourself to me, I know more
will turn to you and change their lives. Precious blood
of Jesus cover the US with your protection esp my loved
ones and those that are in most need of your mercy.
Since you came to save us, and you came to show the
way, Lord, we implore you, we beseech you to give them
another chance to feel your loving mercy. Forgive them,
forgive us for we know not how much we offend you and how
often...
Jesus: My daughter, so much is needed -
prayer, sacrifices, transformations, just to delay
the just hand of my Father on this sinful nation. Offer anyway,
pray anyway, ask my Mother's help.
I'm praying and asking for extension.
end of message
Mar 1 Mon 8 am joyful mysteries
6:30 pm at the altar
Me: Lord, sometimes, it is hard to find the joy,
when so much sadness all around.
So many sad news. more of my friends are
sick of their loved ones, sick with cancer, it has spread,
accidents, unusual sickness - my daughter caught some virus?,
my friend got chicken pox at 40+. My other married friend in
marital dilemna...then also i feel souls in purgatory asking more
prayers. My spiritual advisor, also noted more prayers being
asked of her by souls in purgatory...How do you get to the
state of Joy?
Jesus: Find joy in little things, the kiss of your
children before they go to school, the kiss of the sun
as you go out the door to work, the breath of air I allow
you to take!
Find joy deep within. Think of how far you have
travelled in your faith journey with me
and where you are now...(I used to just go to mass - I would
only pray when in trouble or I need His help but had
little in terms of a deep relationship with Mama Mary or the Lord-
now you could say I'm addicted to them and prayer is such a
natural part of my waking moments)
Find joy in anticipation of my promise that
the earth will be renewed!
Find joy in the little thing:. the rosy cheeks of your
daughter after exercising outside, her smile and her hug.
Find joy in her purity, see how her eyes are so honest
and clear.
Find joy in your companion, your husband who
worries so much when your children get sick
or worries when you do not get enough sleep.
So much this went on and on - until I was sort of
wrapped in joy. Joy in the future, joy inside, joy in my
family, joy in little things, joy about life/being alive. etc.
Me: thank you lord

Message to Ned Dougherty March.1.2010: The "Great Shaking" has already begun...
The following message is an interior locution received by Ned Dougherty, who attests and represents that he continually receives messages from Jesus, Mary, and St. Michael the Archangel on or about the first day of each and every month since the inauguration date of the monthly messages on August 1st, 2005.

"The Rock" Shrine of Our Lady of the Island, Eastport NY
Message from St. Michael the Archangel,
Has the Lord God, the Master of the Universe, received the attention of His children here on Earth? I am afraid not! For Lo and Behold, now the Great Shaking that has been referred to in both ancient and modern prophecies has already begun.
Here and there around the globe of planet Earth, the fragile crust upon which humanity resides is beginning to awaken as a result of the manifestation of all the cumulative evil and sin that has permeated the mantle of the Earth, since the beginning of the fall of mankind up to the current times that are so filled with the materialism, the greed, and the hubris of a society not in accordance with God’splan for humanity.
Therefore, a great correction is taking place now throughout your world that has become self-evident in the chaos and confusion of the planet’s geophysical changes that are erupting within the crust of planet Earth, as well as in the atmosphere surrounding the Earth, which is going through rapid changes now as a reflection of the activities of mankind; activities, not as they are being defined by many of your scientists, but activities of a negative nature, as a result of the leaders of your governments and institutions who are planning a global authority and control of all the inhabitants of planet Earth.
Their intentions are so opposite to the plans of the Father for His children that the Father in Heaven is now intervening and correcting the evil plans of these despots to return humanity to a proper course in fulfillment of the Father’sintentions for all of His children.
So now, it is beginning - the greatest transformation of the world in which you live, since the beginning of mankind. Prepare yourself now for the times ahead, for it will be a difficult time for those of you who are not attuned to the Father’sintentions for all of you. However, it will be a glorious time for those of you who have been living in anticipation of the Coming of the Father’sSon as predicted in the ancient texts and as promised to all of you by the seers of these modern times, who have been given specific instructions to prepare all of the Father’s children for the coming times that are ahead of you.
The Great Shaking of the Earth will continue to manifest itself in an increasing number of seismic events as well as in the fallout from these events - tsunamis, destruction of different geographical regions, and a sense of vulnerability to the fragility of your planet to be witnessed by an ever increasing number of you, particularly those of you who are living in fear of the future.
The Father in Heaven expects His sons and daughters to be courageous now as you venture forth through this difficult period, for many of you have been called to reassure those who are living in fear that the Father in Heaven is in charge. As long as you recognize and except His Presence in the events that are to come, you have no reason to fear the future, for the Father in Heaven has great love and mercy for His children, and those of you who are doing His work will be rewarded for your efforts, when the time comes for each and every one of you to be called home by the Father in Heaven.
So remember, first of all, that your life here on Earth is transitory; secondly, that you are here on this journey to serve the Father in Heaven; and thirdly, that each and every one of you has a responsibility to your fellow brothers and sisters to bond together in love, in prayer, and in sacrifice to survive during the difficult times to come.
Courage is required of all of you who are living in these times, for much is being asked of you. Cherish the times that you are experiencing now in your everyday activities, as you also prepare for the times ahead. Recognize that the mundane and frivolous activities of your daily lives must take an inferior position in the importance of your lives, because now it is time for you to focus on your most important responsibilities to your Father in Heaven and your Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
All of God’s children are being called now to recognize that the struggle of good versus evil is now becoming the most important issue facing planet Earth. It is during this time that the Father in Heaven is calling you to awaken to your most important mission in life, since He has prepared each and every one of you for this moment in time.
If you are still in doubt as to your role in these End Times, take the time now to pray and mediate to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, so that you may ascertain exactly what it is that God is personally asking you to do to participate in the taking of the planet from the forces of evil and transforming all that there is into the New Heaven and New Earth that the Father in Heaven is promising for all of His sons and daughters here on Earth.
For the time is coming now, fast and furiously, when all of you will be asked to make your stand with the Father in Heaven in opposition to all the evil that there is. Rest assured that when the time comes, the evil one will be exposed and the Children of God will be triumphant over satan and his minions here on Earth.
Grand is the plan of the Father in Heaven for all of you! Begin now to participate in your own personal mission to assist the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, for in these times the Holy Trinity will prevail over all of the evil and injustices in your world from this time forward!

Message from Jesus The Redeemer
The time will come soon when all of this madness will be brought to a halt. There will be great changes for you during a great shaking up that will affect your economies and your resources. Those who have manipulated and controlled the economies for their own benefit will be stripped bare of their resources and exposed for their past sins. As a result, many will suffer from great losses to your economies and to your material assets of which many of you pride so dearly.

Message from Jesus of Nazareth
Do you recognize now that there is a strange wind blowing across the world in these times? Do you see how the world appears to be out of balance and more unstable than it has ever been before? This is because there is a Great Shaking going on within the consciousness of all humanity, which is preparing all of you for the times ahead. For we are already in a period of time of great change and transition and there are more great changes ahead for all of humanity. The world is now experiencing growing pains, and the planet is actually groaning from the weight of the sins of mankind that has been accumulating for too long now.

During this period of time, the Earth will go through a Great Shaking that will be recognized by those of you who have turned your lives over to My Son, and you will survive these times with full confidence in the Lord, and you will recognize that you are being blessed even during the times that could lead to despair. These will be extremely difficult times for those who are still leading lives of materialism and greed for they will not be able to find the answers to the growing problems in their lives, unless they turn their lives over to My Son the Redeemer, who is so closely involved with the mission of each and every one of you, my Chosen Ones.

This is a time in which the world is being shaken anew to usher in the Era of Peace for all humanity. It is during this time that I call upon you and all brothers and sisters in Christ to pray powerfully to usher in the Era of Peace around the world.
Pray for the leaders of the world who have not lost their way and who have not fallen into the trap of the secular majority of leaders for the time will come when certain leaders will be asked by My Son to lead the world back to the Church of My Son, and this time will come after the Great Shaking that will transform the world for the better in the future. This time will come for you in the blinking of an eye and in the not too distant future.

Fr. Stefano Gobbi: Save Your Children
DURING a cenacle in the United States, a Marian priest, Father Stephan Gobbi of Italy, was asked how parents could save their children who had been led astray or were in danger of being seduced by the allurements of the world and false religions, led like little lambs to the slaughter as it were.
He answered:
PRAY the Rosary
EVERY TIME you pray the Rosary say:
"I bind all my children to the Immaculate Heart of Mary."
Our Lady "will see to their souls."
Sr. Faustina's Healing Prayer
"Jesus may Your pure and healthy blood circulate in my ailing organism, and may Your pure and healthy body transform my weak body, and may a healthy and vigorous life flow within me, if it is truly Your Holy Will."

MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN
CAN YOU SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD? FIRST HAITI WITH THE EARTHQUAKE AND NOW LAST WEEK CHILE WITH AN EARTHQUAKE. THEY HAD SAID: LITTLE OVER 700 PEOPLE HAD DIED BUT YET THEY HAVE NOT FOUND EVERYONE, THAT HAS BEEN BURIED UNDER THE RUMBLE IT WILL BE OVER 900 LIVES THAT WERE TAKEN DUE TO THE EARTHQUAKE.
HOW CAN THEY PREDICT WHAT WILL OCCUR THEY PREDICTED THE TSUNAMI WOULD TRAVEL OVER 6,000 MILES AND HAWAII WOULD BE HIT WITH THE TSUNAMI. AND WHEN IT DID NOT TAKE PLACE THE REPORTERS WERE SAYING: IT IS THE EFFECTS OF THE TSUNAMI. IT WAS NO WHERE NEAR A HURRICANE OR A TROPICAL STORM THE WAVES THAT WERE TO HIT BUT YET IT WAS MORE LIKE JUST A RAINY DAY. WITHOUT THE RAIN, NO ONE CAN PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPEN EXCEPT GOD OUR FATHER SO DO NOT THINK THAT YOU WILL KNOW ANSWERS ON ANYTHING AS THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS YES IS GOD OUR FATHER.
IS THIS THE END OF EARTHQUAKES? NO WILL THERE BE MORE YES BUT I AM NOT TO REVEAL WHERE EARTHQUAKES WILL OCCUR BUT THEY WILL CONTINUE. AND THERE WILL BE ALSO A TSUNAMI THAT WILL DO DAMAGE
MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN
PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR PEACE IN THE WORLD THAT WARS COME TO AN END CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR POPE BENEDICT THE XVI AND HIS INTENTIONS, AND THAT HE CONTINUE WITH HIS MISSION.
MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN
THIS IS THE LENTEN SEASON AND MORE THAN ANY OTHER TIME THIS IS THE TIME TO MAKE SACRIFICES BUT MANY PEOPLE FEEL, IF THEY DID ONE THING TODAY THEY DO NOT HAVE TO DO ANOTHER
EVERY OPPORTUNITY YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR MY SON JESUS CHRIST NEVER PUSH IT ASIDE IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO EASY FOR HIM TO PUSH EVERYTHING ASIDE AND GIVE EVERYONE MIRACLES AND HE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE KING HERE ON EARTH BUT YET HE MADE SACRIFICES AND HE MADE THE SACRIFICE FOR YOU, AND FOR YOUR SINS
MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN
PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY ,,, HAVE FAITH OPEN YOUR HEARTS TO MY SON YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST LET HIM FILL YOU WITH HIS LOVE TRUST IN HIM AND NEVER DOUBT HIM
MY DEAR, DEAR CHILDREN I LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY, VERY MUCH AND I BLESS YOU ALL IN THE NAME OF OUR FATHER, MY SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN.

Jesus:
Love Me, My little ones, I am in need of your love. The Pain of these times are what I have Suffered for all time. Never before has man been in so much darkness of sin. Never before has man went against Me, in such a blatant way.
Come, children, listen to Me; listen to My calls for they are the calls of a God who Suffers greatly for the loss of so many of His children. Come, children, listen to Me. I, your Jesus, Love you.
Patrick:
Thank You, Jesus, I love You.
Wednesday 24 February 2010

My Love is yours if you are willing to take it.
Look, children, I give you the Gift of Life. Are you willing to stop and look? I have done it all for you; I have paid the Price so that you could have Eternal Life. I Love you, My children, I Love you.
Patrick:

Ash Wednesday
Jesus:
Come, little children of Mine, and I will give you rest. Believe in Me and allow Me to show you the Sure Path to My Father’sKingdom. Allow Me to be your Guide and allow Me to lead you upon this Path of Truth.
Come, children of Mine, and allow Me to be your God.
I Love you and I come in these Words to call you back from the danger you have placed yourselves in.
I Love you, come listen to My calls.
I, your Jesus, Love you.
Patrick:
Thank You, Jesus, I love You.
Thursday 11 February 2010
Jesus:
Look only to the Truth and see the Ways of your God. I do not lead My followers into darkness. Those who know Me and believe in Me have peace in their hearts. Come, children, follow Me in Truth and do not listen to the lies that are told of Me. Read My Word (Scriptures) and see the Way that I Lived. If you want to be a follower of Mine, you must walk in My Footsteps, even to the cross, for this life is only short - a preparation for the next - but you must decide where you want to be for eternity by the way you live on this earth. I Love you, children, come follow Me. I am to be found in the Truth.
I, your Jesus, Love you.
Patrick: Thank You, Jesus, I love You.
Friday 5 February 2010
Look only to Love and do not allow anyone to take your peace from you. Always seek Me in those that you meet and believe that I am with you for you are My Hands, My Feet and My Lips. We, together, will overcome the darkness of this world. We, together, will overcome the evil that stalks My people every day but you must believe and trust in Me for this is where the Power of Love is to be found. Trust in Me, My people, trust in My Love for you and then you will see the things begin to change within your lives. I Love you, come, believe in what I say.
I, your Jesus, Love you.
Friday 15 January 2010
Jesus:
Come, My little ones, and see Me. Do not look at what man does to My Church. See Me and My Ways, children. So many of you use the excuse of what man has done to turn your backs on Me. Trust in Me, your God, and allow Me to show you the True Path. My Love for you is great. Can you not see what I have done for you? I Died so that you could have Eternal Life.
Look at these lives that you live, they are so short. They are only for you to choose whether you want to be in My Kingdom or not. If you choose My Kingdom, then you must prove it by the way you live your lives. Look, I give you the path back, will you accept it? My Love is yours, little ones, come, love Me in return.
I, your Jesus, Love you.
Patrick: Thank You, Jesus, I love You.
Wednesday 13 January 2010
Jesus:
Now, children, look at the Truth and see, do you want to know Me in Truth? The decision is yours. I come in these Words to open up the True Path to you. Do not look for signs but simply believe in Me and I will come to you in the depths of your heart. I will guide you back but you must be willing: you must be willing to deny self.
Denying self is achieved by prayer and sacrifice. Sacrifice is going against self, denying self the things that it really wants, those things that are not important.
Fasting is also denying self for self many times desires more than is really needed; fasting is a form of discipline but this must also be controlled. To fast one or two days a week is good but you must also be aware that self can become greedy for fasting and this can defeat what you are trying to do. You must remember that the evil one will always be trying to divert away from the True Path. There are many dangers on this Path of Truth but if you follow Me in the Ways of My Gospels, you will not be drawn away. Trust in Me and trust in My Ways and, remember, I Love you always.

Monday, February 15, 2010 (2nd Message?)
Jesus said: My people, you have seen much loss of life from the earthquake on Haiti because of the poor house construction. About the same number died in the large earthquake in Indonesia from a tsunami. Several smaller tsunamis have occurred recently with smaller numbers of deaths. The most loss of life in recent years from natural disasters has come mostly from earthquake activity. Earthquakes are an ongoing occurrence, and the numbers are increasing as well as the intensity. This vision of another devastating tsunami is just a matter of time, but it could happen at any time. The earth’splates are constantly shifting, and there is much activity all around the Pacific Rim. Be prepared with your early warning protection for tsunamis so people can be warned as soon as possible to get to high ground. These events are causing more and more food shortages, as the floods are destroying warehouses and the land to grow crops. Pray for My help for those who could suffer destruction of their homes and food supplies.
Tuesday, February 16, 2010
Jesus said: My people, I have talked to you much about the things people knew about in My day in the form of parables, so they could start to understand the parallels of their physical life with their spiritual life. In today’sGospel I warned the people to avoid the leaven or yeast of the teachings of the Pharisees and Herod. Their deeds were done for show, but their hearts were far from Me. Then I reminded My apostles of My leaven or teaching as I multiplied the bread and fish for the 5,000 and the 4,000. I took what little they had and I made enough food available for everyone to have some with even a surplus of twelve baskets and seven baskets. This multiplication of food and shelters will be provided again at My refuges. I also multiply My Presence in the bread of Holy Communion. In the vision people tie up their boats at the dock so the boats do not wander off, and they are protected from the storms in the safety of the harbor. This is symbolic of how I want you to be tied to Me in faith in the safety of My protection from the demons who are tempting you on the sea of life’. By staying in the harbor of My grace, your soul can remain pure and free of sin. I am also like an anchor that keeps you from drifting away into sin. I want to keep you in My sheepfold so I do not have to seek you out as a lost sheep. When you are detoured by the world’sattractions and curiosities, as well as comforts and desires, then you are risking the loss of your soul in hell. By returning to Me in Confession or holding fast to Me in your daily prayers, you can follow the narrow road to heaven. Prepare to improve your spiritual life with your coming Lenten devotions.
Jesus said: My people, some refuges will not only be shielded by My angels from sight, but they will be built behind hills and in out of the way rural areas. Even when planes and helicopters go over these refuges, they will not be seen. I will protect My faithful from the evil ones at My refuges in miraculous ways. When you are there, your living conditions will be more rustic with few of the comforts that you are used to today. Preparing food, bathing, bedding, and any entertainment will be more of a chore as in older days with little, if any electricity. Your living conditions will be more like living in a monastery where prayer and worship of Me will be your focal point. This will be a penance and spiritual preparation for your coming to heaven. You are tomorrow starting another Lenten Season that is focused on more prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Use each Lent to purify your spiritual life, and be prepared at any time to leave for My refuges.
Wednesday, February 17, 2010: (Ash Wednesday)
Jesus said: My people, as you receive your ashes today, let this be a beneficial Lent in helping your spiritual life. Not everyone honors this time as a chance to purify your soul with self-denial and penances. You may have chosen to do some extra prayers or give something up during Lent. In all that you do for Lent, bear your suffering in silence without complaining of any of your fasting. As you offer up your prayers, fasting and alms to Me, let your weak family members or friends be your intentions to help their faith to be saved. You all need to help each other, not only in worldly needs, but in spiritual needs as well. Be persistent in your prayers and do not give up on any soul, regardless of how sinful that person may be. You may not know it, but they may be searching, and you could be the beacon of faith that they are looking up to. You have seen even how anxious the souls in heaven are to help their loved ones here on earth. So as you are trying to improve your own spirituality, keep working to evangelize all souls, and especially your own family members.
(Hunter Resch Funeral Mass) Jesus said: My people, the readings and songs, that were chosen, were well chosen for a child’sfuneral. I truly love the children and cared for them even when I was on the earth. I have told everyone that you need to have the innocent faith of a child if you wish to enter heaven. I also frowned on those people who abused My little ones, especially by killing them. Many people, that have abortions, do not realize that they are killing their children, and this action is just as serious a crime as if they killed a child already born. Every soul has to make an accounting of their actions before Me at their judgment. But let Me be the judge and do not judge people on your own. Pray for the family that has had to endure this hardship of the loss of this young boy.
Jesus said: My people, you are starting another Lenten Season on this Ash Wednesday. One of your Lenten penances is almsgiving or donations to the poor and needy. When you tithe ten per cent of your income to charity and support of My Church, you are storing up real treasure in heaven. Some people place more trust in their riches than they do in My helping them through prayer. They think that gold, money, and stocks are going to provide them food and all of their needs. These things of the world can be stolen, lost, or lose their value, and then what will you rely on for your survival. Put your trust in Me and I will never let you down, especially once you come to My refuges. During Lent you can give your prayers and time to help people spiritually, as well as physically with money donations. Keep your focus on Me in retreats and your Lenten devotions, and you will keep close to Me in your souls. Giving up something that you like to do is another penance along with your fasting that can help you fight against sin by training the body to keep its desires under control. Be persistent throughout the whole of Lent in your chosen penances so you can have more self-control in dealing with your temptations.
Thursday, February 18, 2010
Jesus said: My people, today’s first readings from Moses directs your attention to Choose Lifewith God instead of the world. I have told you before that every action is either a choice for Me or for yourself. This choice of Moses is a life commitment which means that you want to be focused on Me down the narrow road to heaven, rather than following the devil down the broad road to hell. When you get to your judgment, there will be no excuses as you will be the only one to blame for your sins. I love all of My people and I will have mercy on your souls, but still there will be an accounting for all of your actions. As you are starting Lent and you still have not decided on what extra penances that you would like to perform, now would be a good time to think about what you could do. Just as I went off into the mountains to pray, taking some extra time for prayer is always gratifying for your soul. Your life is a faith walk full of opportunities for graces in correcting your own life, and helping to evangelize others in their spiritual lives. The more souls, that you can bring to heaven, are the more souls that are saved from going to hell. Saving souls is one of your most important goals in life, and your reward in heaven will be great.
Prayer group:
Jesus said: My people, your Federal government and State governments are spending money way beyond reason, as if your economy was fully financed. In your home budgets when your income is less, you are forced to spend less to avoid bankruptcy. Unfortunately, your governments are spending more instead of less. Your recession is still having effects on your economy, and your unemployment rate is still high, which is why less taxes are being collected. Your elected officials are afraid to reduce spending and raise taxes because it is an election year. If nothing is done, your country and your states will go bankrupt. Already Social Security and your health programs are spending more than what is being collected for that purpose. Pray that your Congress people will make the right choices before everything collapses under the weight of your overextended debts.
Jesus said: My people, this latest destruction of a government building fortunately did not result in a lot of deaths. Some people are going over the edge of reality in expressing their frustrations with the latest job situation and poor economy. Many of your jobs have been taken overseas and will not return. Other cheap labor is being brought into your country. It is the rich and heads of corporations who are to blame for seeking cheap labor at the expense of your own workers, yet they are charging the same high prices for their products. If your people cannot stop this flood of jobs out of America, very few will be employed. It is your corporations who are running your governments and stripping your people of living wages and jobs. Pray for more justice in this employment problem, or you soon will be taken over by the one world people.
Jesus said: My people, your church laws have been relaxed considerably in respect to mandatory fasting. In older days you were supposed to fast between meals, but now some still fast on their own as part of their Lenten devotions. I have mentioned before that prayer with fasting is more powerful toward your intentions than just prayer alone. Offer up all of your prayers and fasting to Me for the benefit of souls who need to be saved from their sins. See the value of daily prayer which could be carried on all year long. Some even attend daily Mass during Lent which also gives you more graces. Be faithful to your chosen Lenten penances.
Jesus said: My people, your leaders are carrying on their own agenda without any hearing from the rejection of your people. Certain politicians have been voted out of office for going against the people’swishes. Some talk of change, but their actions have been the opposite of what they said they would do. There is a sense of reversal in your previous voting that is showing an independent feeling that is against the two parties in power. If America does not take back control from your corporations and special interests, then you will soon be taken over.
Jesus said: My people, your world is becoming more evil with every year. As you see the tribulation coming, there will be more open persecution of Christians. You are honoring how I suffered at the hands of men when they scourged Me and crucified Me. Many of My faithful will be suffering also at the hands of the one world people. But I will protect My faithful at My refuges for those who follow My instructions promptly. Keep your souls pure with Confession and hold Me close to your heart as you seek to follow My laws.
Jesus said: My people, I thank you for your prayers tonight as you honor Me in Adoration of My Blessed Sacrament. During Lent you are thinking more of praying the Stations of the Cross and being more fervent in your prayers. One thing I would ask is that you sincerely carry out your penances for love of Me and your neighbor, and not just to go through the motions for show. Many start with the ashes and good intentions, but within a short time they have forgotten why they were doing these devotions. Focus on being true to Me and true to your initial fervor, and you could profit spiritually from your efforts.
Jesus said: My people, some of your older traditions have changed in your churches during Lent. There still are Stations of the Cross, soup suppers, and other Penance services, but some outward signs, as your coverings, are not always giving you the sense of Lent as you knew it. You have more liberties now in doing your own devotions, so use your opportunities to grow in your faith with special spiritual readings, retreats, and daily Mass to help you. The more you put into your Lenten devotions, the more you will benefit in My graces for you.
Friday, February 19, 2010
Jesus said: My people, in this Lenten Season you need to look at how you spend your time and try to focus more on doing things for Me and your neighbor than just for yourself. It is not sinful to desire some entertainment, but do not let games or other pastimes so occupy your time to the exclusion of everything else. Some games and gambling can become addicting. So when you see that you have some games that are controlling you, it would be better to avoid such time consumers. You need to be in control of what you do so you can apportion your time for Me, your needs, and then your entertainment. There are many people that could use your time to help them in their needs. First, you need to make time for others in your life, and make that a priority in your decision making. Second, you also need to give Me time for prayer, since you should be doing everything out of love for Me. If you so occupy your time filling your own agenda, then you will not have time to do the mission that I have chosen for you to accomplish. I have very few prayer warriors, and I need My people not to forget their responsibilities for the many souls that they are praying for. By keeping your priorities in focus on My mission, then you will see why it is so important not to waste time on your frivolous desires and things that are of little concern.
Jesus said: My people, many Southern and Mid-Atlantic states have been experiencing record snowfalls and colder than usual temperatures. As a result, some are having more doubts about global warming. Your measured world temperature has dipped a little, but the longer average is on the rise. When your average temperature increases, it puts more moisture into the atmosphere as precipitation. Any increase in heat would also cause more violent weather. An increase in violent weather could also be enhanced by man-made microwave machines. The HAARP machine could also be used to cause earthquakes that are happening more frequently. Be prepared for more violent weather which is also an end time sign. Ask My protection from such violence, and call on My help for those who are suffering from your current natural disasters.
Saturday, February 20, 2010: (Phyllis Tripi Funeral Mass)
Jesus said: My people, you are in the middle of Lent and you are leading up to the feast day of Easter that celebrates My Resurrection. Today’s Gospel (John 11:25) quotes My words: I am the Resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me, shall never die.This is My promise to all of My faithful that on the last day you will be resurrected body and soul to be with Me in heaven for all eternity. This is what is promised today to Phyllis who was the matriarch of this family. Many gave witness of her physical strength and her spiritual strength. Her reward will be great with Me in heaven.
Jesus said: My people, just as I provided food for My people wandering in the desert, so in this modern day exodus to come, I will provide food for My faithful at My refuges. In the desert I had quail come up and land in the camp so they had meat to eat in the evening. Then in the morning I gave them bread in the manna that they had to collect on the desert dew. As you are brought to My refuges by your guardian angels, I will give you the bread of Holy Communion in the morning. If a priest is not present for a Mass, My angels will give you My Holy Bread on your tongue. Later in the day, you will have deer come into your refuges and you will need deer knives to provide the meat for My faithful. Not everyone will like the taste of this meat, but unless you have other animals for meat, you will have to accept the food given to you. Some may want to try some venison to get used to this kind of meat. Be thankful that you have multiplied shelters, food, water, and protection by My angels.
Sunday, February 21, 2010
Jesus said: My people, on this First Sunday of Lent you are just starting out following in My footsteps on your way to Calvary, and eventually to celebrate My Resurrection on Easter. You may endure some fasting between meals, abstinence from meat, and any other penances, but you can offer them up along with My ongoing suffering on the cross. Americans know little about suffering, but you are enduring high unemployment and a poor economy. The people in Haiti are truly suffering, and I thank all of those people who have helped them, or are still helping them. Forty days of Lenten suffering seems long at first. You need spiritual endurance to help people, and this struggle during Lent will help cleanse your soul. I am not asking everyone to be a martyr, but let your daily trials be a means of sharing your pain with Me. Spiritual cleansing by Confession and acts of self-denial are a huge help for your weaknesses to sin. Keep focusing on perfecting your soul so you are constantly prepared to meet Me at your judgment every day, because you do not know when I will call you home.
Monday, February 22, 2010: (Chair of St. Peter)
Jesus said: My people, at one point I asked My apostles: (Matt. 16:13-19) Who do you say that I am?Simon Peter answered and said: Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.Then Jesus answered and said, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar Jona, for flesh and blood have not revealed this to thee, but My Father in heaven. And I say to thee thou are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give thee the keys of the Kingdom of heaven; and whatever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven, and whatever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.This is when I gave authority of My Church over to the first pope, St. Peter, and I also was instituting the sacrament of Penance where you could confess your sins to the priest. All of My faithful need to acknowledge that I am the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity and that you accept Me as Master over your life. For I have created every soul to know, love, and serve Me. If you are to be My true disciples, then these are your commitments. The smoke, that you see in the fire, represents the smoke of Satan who is always trying to destroy My Church. Beware of those who are trying to mislead you against My teachings. Especially do not follow anyone trying to teach you to follow New Age principles which will be causing a division in My Church. But My faithful remnant will prevail over a coming schismatic church.
Jesus said: My people, you go about your entertainment, as with this outdoor pool table, and then some unusual weather events upset your plans. A few inches of snow can be a little unexpected, but when some areas get several feet of snow, it could be a disaster. Some of these areas are receiving twice as much snow as their normal amount for the whole season. Many records for snow and cold are being set this winter. Some people are already complaining that they have had enough winter, but you still could get snow into April. Be patient and let this weather be one of your Lenten penances that I asked you to bear quietly. As you prepare for your next trip, pray for safe travel and a peaceful conference.
Tuesday, February 23, 2010: (St. Polycarp)
Jesus said: My people, part of your Lenten devotions are prayers for various intentions, and this is why I gave all of you My Our Fatherprayer. When you pray, it would be proper to pray for things according to My Will instead of what you desire. It was said in the Gospel that My Father knows your needs before you request them. Every prayer is answered, but sometimes the answer is no if it is not in the best interest for souls. I am always looking at the big picture of how I can best help you. Sometimes I allow suffering because it is humbling and good may come out of it, if it is offered up as redemptive suffering for souls. In the Our Fatherit speaks of your daily bread, or your food to sustain you. You have physical bread for the body, but I also feed you Myself in the Spiritual Bread of Holy Communion. This is the Bread that I said if you eat, you will have eternal life. I give you Myself freely and you can share with Me intimately at daily Mass and at Adoration. Give praise and thanks to Me for all that I provide for your daily living, both for the body and the soul.
Prayer Group:
Jesus said: My people, you all are in the world and you are tempted every day by the demons. This cross that you saw in the vision is your protection in wearing the Benedictine Cross or the cross that contains part of My original cross. The exorcism medal is a protection from evil, and you can call on My Name, Jesus, and the evil ones will leave you. Trust in My protection even amidst these demon attacks.
Jesus said: My people, Juliet has been under pressure in arranging this huge conference, but she has seen how I have helped her through My Christmas Novena. Pray continuously to My Santo Nino image or statue and I will continue to protect this conference and make it a success. Your intentions of repentance and saving souls is an appropriate theme for Lent. Trust in Me and have faith in Me, and all of your prayers will be answered.
Jesus said: My people of America, I know many people are out of work and depending on unemployment insurance. Your lawmakers are voting on extending this safety net, but it is difficult to expect the government to increase jobs when this is not their function. Companies are still cutting back, and it is difficult for employers to hire more when your tax laws and your economy are so full of uncertainty. Your people need to repent of their sins and have faith in praying to Me for more jobs to be created. You need stable laws and stable banks before your jobs can increase. You are being tested as a country, and you need to pray more on your knees to change America back to its former ways.
Jesus said: My people, more U.S. troops are leaving Iraq and some are going to Afghanistan. It is always difficult to know if these wars on terror are having any long term effects. It is good that you are keeping your word in leaving Iraq. What will be left behind will still allow a haven for terrorists, but they could go to any country that they choose. Having an exit strategy is needed for both these wars because they are running up your National Debt even now. Pray for peace in these countries because constant killing has not solved any problems there.
Jesus said: My people, many of your small banks are in jeopardy of being closed, as many are on a watch list. Your big banks have been bailed out by your taxpayers because you were told that they were too big to fail. Yet your central bankers are willing to close smaller banks so there are only a few large banks left. This closing of small banks has left Canada with only three large banks which puts control in the hands of a few. Pray that your small banks survive because these were helping your small businesses the most.
Jesus said: My people, you are just in your first week of Lent and you are seeing how difficult it is to fast between meals. When you think fasting is too hard, just think of those who do not have any food, and how they are suffering through fasting without a choice. Fasting is a way to train your body to be obedient to the desires of the soul. Do not give in so easy to the hunger of the body, and especially to desserts for those giving these up for Lent. Be strong in your Lenten efforts because your soul will benefit in fighting off sinful temptations.
Jesus said: My people, I have told you that when you come to My refuges, you will be living more of a monastic kind of prayer life. Even when you come to Adoration to pray in silence, I have asked you to practice some contemplative prayer when you are not reading or praying your prayers. Just be quiet as you gaze on My Host, and give Me an opportunity to talk to your heart. In order to listen to My words, you need to be silent without any distractions occupying your mind. Pray to Me to take away any demon of distractions that is trying to keep you away from Me. Satan wants to keep you busy with confusing noisy environments because he knows that it is difficult to hear My voice through your worldly chatter. Once you have experienced quiet contemplative prayer, you will desire it more often.

Jesus said: My people, in the Old Testament you remember how Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by fire and brimstone for their unforgiving sinful lifestyles. Today, you are seeing in the first reading how I relented of the destruction of Nineveh because they repented and put on sackcloth and ashes. These are My examples of justice and mercy. You also have a gift of the Holy Spirit called fear of the Lord which is really a fear of going to hell for wrongdoing. There are two ways to avoid going to hell. The first is more desirable in that you want to love Me and not offend Me by sin. If you really love someone, then you would work to do everything out of love for that person. So it is by loving Me and your neighbor that you will then be worthy of heaven. St. Paul said without love, all that you do is as nothing. The second way to heaven is to do things so you will not be judged to hell. Fear of hell is a real concern since I have shown you how people in hell in their soul bodies are ugly, have a constant burning of flames, are tormented by the demons, and most of all they will not see My face or love again for all eternity. Seeing how souls suffer in hell should be an incentive for My evangelists to bring as many souls as possible to heaven so those souls can avoid hell. But do not deny either of these ways to heaven out of love or out of fear of hell. If you focus on loving Me and your neighbor, then you know that I will save you from hell.
Mary said: My dear parents, this scene in the vision of when I was miscarried and died, was a very traumatic moment for my mother. I want to greet my parents and my sisters because I am up in heaven with David, my brother, who also died after a short life. We are praying for all of you up here. You often wondered what was causing the strange noises upstairs as if someone was walking upstairs. This is where I died and I was giving you some signs, but you did not connect this with my death. I was happy that you asked for my name and honored me at Norbert’s farm. You could honor me even more if you could frame this message with my name Mary Learyand place it next to my brother David ‘s picture. I know this message may be difficult to hear and understand, but I have been waiting for the right moment to share my feelings of love for all of you. Remember us as your children who are always ready to intercede for you in your prayers. David already has brought about some beautiful miracles. So when you pray to David, think of me also.

Jesus said: My people of this conference, I am bringing My Blessed Mother with Me as you adore Me and honor her in our two hearts that are portrayed in the vision. Our love goes out to all of you as you are blessed with hearing your gifted speakers and the Betania Choir. Open your hearts to our two hearts as you dwell on the theme of Reconciliation. There will be confessions so you can truly reconcile your sins and restore graces to your souls. You have started your conference with a beautiful Mass because I am the focus of all that is holy. Remember during this conference to pray your rosaries and make time for Me at your Adoration hours. Again we in heaven are all happy for you, as you are all joined together in prayer, worship, and song. As you see My Santo Nino image, I also want you to pray for the success of this conference and that all debts will be covered by the generosity of your faithful supporters.
Jesus said: My people, in your homes you usually throw your scrap paper into your waste baskets. After a while your baskets get full and you need to empty them so the garbage trucks can take away all of your trash. If you did not empty your trash, you would be inundated with piles of paper. In the spiritual world your souls are collectors of your sins. Your souls also get filled up with your sins, and they need to get cleaned out by going to Confession. The priest cleanses your soul by his absolution in Confession and I forget your forgiven sins. Once you have your sins cleansed, then I can fill your soul full of My graces. The emptying of your full baskets is parallel to emptying your soul of your sins. Keeping your soul clean and pure is even more important than keeping your room clean. Encourage your family and friends to go to at least monthly Confession, and you can encourage them to keep pure souls.

Jesus said: My people, this mountaintop experience on Mount Tabor was a prefigurement of My coming Resurrection. My apostles were graced with seeing Me in all of My glory with Moses and Eliziah. Some say you do not have many mountaintop experiences on earth, but in reality, you are with Me as I was on the mountain every time that you come to Holy Communion or visit My Blessed Sacrament. Rejoice in My Real Presence because I have left you My greatest gift of Myself in My Holy Eucharist. I am always at your side when you call on Me, and I am in your midst where two or more are gathered.

Jesus said: My people, I criticized the Pharisees and the priestly class for seeking places of honor and not practicing the words that they taught the people. All of you today need to be careful so you are not hypocrites as well, so that you practice what you preach. Obeying My Commandments is one of your first steps in following what I taught through the Scriptures. The other lesson in today’sGospel is about the sin of pride and how you should practice humility instead. When life’sthings do not go according to your expectations, do not get angry over things that you cannot change. Accept life as it happens and do your best to change the ba[Fr.

"Live as children of the Father"
Dear Friends,
The Parable of the Weeds among the Wheat
Jesus proposed another parable to them. The Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off. When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well. The slaves of the householder came to him and said, Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?He answered, An enemy has done this.His slaves said to him, Do you want us to go and pull them up?He replied, No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until harvest; then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters, "First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barns." (Matthew 13:24–30)
We had a very wintry day yesterday. It snowed for most of the day and we did not see the sun the whole day. What fell was wet snow and some freezing rain. We will not see the sun before Wednesday.
I was not able to go to the Manor yesterday afternoon because of the snowstorm. I prayed at home instead. I will go to the parish church this evening for one hour of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. In many churches of the Island there is perpetual adoration or a day a week for adoration. This is a great blessing for the Island. On Friday I will have the Healing Mass and it seems it will be a nice day. Today is my birthday and I thank the Lord for giving me the gift of life.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and Redeemer given to Joseph, His brother. Jesus spoke to him these words,
As the parable teaches you, I am the sower of the good seed in the world. Those who receive the good seed and bear good fruit are the children of God. The one who sows the weeds is the evil one and those who accept the weeds are the followers of the evil one. In the world today there are the children of God on the one hand and the children of the evil one on the other. The destination of the children of God is heaven forever but the destination of the children of the evil one is everlasting hell.
I am calling you all to examine yourselves to find out in which camp you are. You just have to look at your actions and you will know. If you have rejected Me and are now following the evil one, it is time for you to change direction. Come back to Me and leave your sinful ways behind. Repent of all your sins sincerely in the Sacrament of Reconciliation and I will take them all away and come follow Me.
I desire the salvation of all My brothers and sisters but you need to open your heart to Me. Live as children of the Father with the graces He gives you every day. In this way you will reject the evil one in your life and walk with Me, your Brother.

"By their fruit you shall know them"
Dear Friends,
The Parable of the Sower
On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore. And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying: A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep, and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it. But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold. Whoever has ears ought to hear. (Matthew 13:1:9)
Yesterday we had a cloudy day with some wind. Freezing rain had fallen the night before and all the trees were covered in ice but most of this ice fell off during the day. We will get a little snow today.
I celebrated Holy Mass at the Immaculate Conception Church, Palmer Road, yesterday at 11:00 a.m. and a smaller crowd than usual was present. At 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon I was back at the same church for the baptism of a three-month old child. In the evening I was back at the church for the third time for the last day of the Seminar in the Spirit. The whole group that came for the seven weeks was present. I also heard some confessions. Now on Friday this week I will have a Healing Mass at the Little Shrine of Our Lady of Prince Edward Island at 7:30 in the evening. We will begin with the rosary at 7:00 p.m.
Here below is the message of Our Lord and Savior given to Joseph. Jesus spoke to him these words,
I often spoke in parables to the people during My public life. These parables are timeless and can be told in any age. They are not difficult to understand. I am the principle sower but any person who evangelizes is also a sower. What is sown is the word of God or the word of the Kingdom of God. The condition of the soil is very important for the seed to grow. It is the same with the word that is sown in your heart. What sort of reception do you give the Word of God? If you hardly have any faith, it will not take root in your heart and be discarded. If you are a person who is just curious, you might welcome the Word today and forget about it tomorrow. If you are a person that is taken up by the affairs of the world, you will not have much time to nurture the Word of God in your heart and it will die. However, if you are a person of great faith, you will welcome the Word with all your heart and you will produce wonderful fruit for all to see.
My dear friends, I want you to be brothers and sisters with great faith in Me. You have a relationship with Me, Your Savior, and My Words help you to grow every day in holiness. Live in a deep loving union with Me and nurture this relationship with prayer, the Eucharist and charitable acts. By their fruit you shall know them. I bless you all.

My children, at a time when the world is covered in the darkness of sin, I invite you to this time of special prayers. I come to light the way as the Mother of Divine Light, Divine Mercy, that it is only through my son Jesus that you can elevate yourselves to great holiness.
Be obedient children and pray to God for healing in all families. Pray for your children and for the children to come for it is through prayer that conversions will take place.
Come, my children, and say yes to God, say yes to my son and heal His wounds through love and obedience for I am your Heavenly Mother and it is through my Immaculate love that I come to you with this special intention. Now go forth in the peace of my son, Jesus.

My children, I ask that for the next forty days you pray a novena to my most chaste spouse Saint Joseph. I ask that you pray this novena for healing in your families and for conversions in your families.

My child, the hour is coming when the mountains will awaken and I will say to My people, Repent! The hour is coming when the seas will rise up and coast lines will be reformed and I will say to My people, Repent!
I come now through My Most Blessed Mother. I come now through My messengers to prepare the world for its hour of purification to warn My children in love that hearts must change. I come to you now, My children, to bring you into the desert.
Lent is a time to remove yourselves from the distractions and to empty yourselves from a world that seeks to culminate everything that is not of Me. I yearn for My children to open the eyes and hearts and to embrace Me as their Master, Messiah, their Savior for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.

My child, I thirst and you hunger. I came to feed My sheep, to nourish My sheep through My Body and Blood and it is through the consecrated hands of My chosen sons that My sheep become Me, with Me, for I am Jesus.
I say to My children, why do you continue to turn to a world that only starves your soul from being nourished with the truth? My children, the hour is at hand and it is time for you to live by the divine plan and not the plan of man that only keeps you from living in My light.
My majesty is upon this earth each time My creation, My plan is being executed. My majesty is upon this earth each time the bread and wine become My Body and Blood and My children receive Me. I am with you, My children, for I am not a King ruling in a distant castle. I am not guarded by soldiers and seek to take life away. I am Life; the giver of life, the Way, the Truth. I sit in the silence of the tabernacle.
You do not need to travel a great distance to speak to Me for I am present each time you call upon My name for I am your Lord and your God and I ask you to come and follow Me for I am your Shepherd. You are My sheep. You are My majesty for you are a reflection of heaven each time you seek to live the will of your Heavenly Father.
Now go forth and live in the harmony of heaven and earth by being open to My plan for it is My mercy and justice that will prevail.

10:00 AM
My child, I say to My children, .Where is heaven for you? Is it your treasures that you store up on this earth or is it your soul seeking its eternal place of rest with your Messiah? I say to you, My children, it is better for you to not spend your time storing up your treasures on earth and to lose your treasure of heaven. I come to you as your Teacher and you as My pupils. I tell you that it is better for you to let the will overcome the emotion, than the emotion to overcome the will.
It is not the hour to worry about your brothers and sisters but to pray for them and be a witness to them. It is not worth the risk of losing a few over the actions of many. And it is not worth losing many over the actions of a few. Do you see, My children, be accountable for yourselves for the words and actions of others will hold no merit at your hour of judgment. All are called but few are chosen, yet all will be judged.
Seek the Kingdom for as I have spoken to you through the Gospel, My Kingdom is not of this world. You are here to labor for your Heavenly Father. You would not risk losing a whole day’swages because you seek to spend your time sitting under a tree looking for more treasure. Then why would you risk losing the treasure of heaven by not doing the will of your Father?
You are not your own master, rather you are little treasures awaiting heaven. Now go forth and be My witnesses in the world for I am Jesus and all will be done according to My will.
Please Pray for the following people
Please pray for all priests

Vision to littlest of servants March 1, 2010
I saw JESUS in a ROSE GARDEN that had thousands of rose bushes and they all had BEAUTIFUL RED ROSES ON THEM THAT HAD NOT BLOOMED.
I then saw JESUS and HE was clipping the RED ROSES. When HE had several of them HE put them in a vase that had water in it.
When the RED ROSES were put into the water they immediately bloomed and looked VERY BEAUTIFUL and it was then that I was given the understanding that they also had a BEAUTIFUL FRAGRANCE.
I saw thousands of these vases. I was then given the understanding of what this vision meant.
The RED ROSES represented people who will at the illumination (the mini-judgment) be completely transformed.
The water represented the HOLY SPIRIT WHO WILL TRANSFORM US INTO LIVING IMAGES OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST AND THAT WAS REPRESENTED BY THE ROSES THAT HAD BLOOMED.
THE BEAUTIFUL FRAGRANCE REPRESENTS THE LOVE THAT EACH PERSON WILL HAVE. THAT LOVE WILL BE THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WITH THAT LOVE THEY WILL HELP CONVERT MANY.

The everlasting God has in His wisdom foreseen from eternity the cross that He now presents to you as a gift from His inmost heart.
This cross He now sends you He has
considered with His all-knowing eyes,
understood with His divine mind,
tested with His wise justice, warmed with
loving arms and weighed with His own hands to see that it be not one inch too large and not one ounce too heavy for you.
He has blessed it with His holy Name,
anointed it with His consolation,
taken one last glance at you and your courage,
and then sent it to you from heaven,
a special greeting from God to you,
an alms of the all-merciful love of God. Amen!

Mother Teresa -
Christ must be the light that shines through you, and the people looking at you must see only Jesus.
It is necessary to empty yourself of everything in order to be able to be filled with the All of God.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Let us walk always, even with slow steps, as long as we have good intentions, we cannot but make progress. No, it is not necessary to be always attentive to everything for the exercize of the virtues.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Dare to be right!
"Mediocrity can be a terrific form of tyranny, and it has a thousand and one penalties for those who forsake the external standards for an inward change of heart to a line of conduct above the level. When a thousand people are walking to the edge of an abyss, the one who is seen walking in the opposite direction is taunted for not following the mob. We must be humble to bear up under these reproaches and dare to be right when the majority is wrong."

MARCH 4 - JESUS GIVES HIMSELF TO YOU!
The Virgin speaks to Jelena of the joy of salvation:
How can you not be happy? Jesus gives himself to you! I wish to fill the souls of all. But I am sad this evening, for many have not prepared themselves for Easter. Thus Jesus will not be able to unite himself to their souls on that great day (Locution Jelena and Mirajana April 14, 1984)
Paul explains salvation as a pure gift of Christ:
But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God (Eph 2:4-8).
Reflection:
St. Paul emphasizes that we do not need to live any longer under sin's power. The penalty of sin and its power over us were destroyed by Christ on the cross. Through him we stand acquitted, "not guilty," before God (cf. Rom 3:21-22).
Our Lady urges us to accept and rejoice in this gift of salvation. When someone gives you a gift, do you say, "That's very nice, now how much do I owe you?" No the appropriate response is, "Thank you." Yet some of us, even after we've been given the gift of salvation, feel obligated to try to work or earn our own way to God. But because salvation and even faith are pure gifts, our response can only be one of gratitude, praise, and joy.
Application:
Have we ever accepted, deep down, the gift of salvation? Today, pray that you may experience the awesome impact of this greatest of gifts, as Our Lady urges.

Mar 3 - PEOPLE RESUME THEIR BAD HABITS
The Blessed Mother was in tears when she gave this message to the visionaries:
"So many people who have been here, and have started to pray, to be converted, to fast, and to do penance, quickly forget when they return home, and resume their bad habits." (Special Message April 24, 1984)
Our Lady's implicit call to repentance is echoed by the prophet Joel:
Put on sackcloth and lament, you priests; wail, you ministers of the altar. Come, pass the night in sackcloth, You ministers of my God! Grain offering and drink offering Are withheld from the house of your God. Sanctify a fast, Call a solemn assembly, Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land To the house of the Lord your God, And cry out to the Lord. Joel 1 :13-14
Reflection :
Lent is a time for renewal and repentance, for turning back to God with our whole heart. Although we may have stepped backwards in our spiritual journey, now is the time to rearrange our priorities, to recommit ourselves to the Lord. Of this renewal, Pope Paul VI wrote :
We must aim above all at an inner renewal, a liberation from the mere following of conventions, a new departure in our way of thinking. More than anything else, we must lament our shortcomings before God, and the community of our brethren. We must renew the self-understanding each must have of himself or herself as a child of God, as a Christian, as a member of the Church. May our Lenten renewal reward us with a deeper share of God's love and peace at the feast of Easter.
Application :
Remembering Our Lady in tears, reflect on how you can deepen your spiritual life during these remaining days of Lent.
Medjugorje Day By Day Mar 02 - Thank you for each sacrifice
"I have a burning thirst to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament, and I find hardly anyone who strives, according to my desire, to allay this thirst by making me some return of love." (Words of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary)
"In the Eucharist the Church is as it were at the foot of the cross with Mary, united with the offering and intercession of Christ" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1370).
Mother Teresa -
God speaks in the silence of the heart, and we listen. And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart, and God listens.
And this listening and this speaking is what prayer is meant to be: oneness with God, oneness with Jesus.
Peace is light to the soul, light to your neighbor and light to God
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Beware of anxiety and restlessness because there is nothing that more greatly impedes progress towards perfection. Sweetly place your heart in the Wounds of Our Lord, but not with force. Have great confidence in His Mercy, because He will never abandon you. But do not fail, for this reason, to tightly embrace His Holy Cross.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
Just because everyone's doing it doesn't make it right!
"Numbers become the measure of goodness. If a sufficient number can be counted who violate a certain Commandment of God, then it is argued: `50 million adulterers cannot be wrong. We have to change the Commandments.' The excellence of moral excellence does not reside in any external conformity to a conventional standard, but in an inward disposition under the control of a recognized principle to which we submit whether we agree with it or not."

Mar 2 Thank you for each sacrifice
During Lent of 1986, Our Lady gave the following message:
Dear children, today I invite you to live this Lent with your small sacrifices. Thank you for each sacrifice which you have already presented to me. Dear children, continue to live in this way and, with your love, help me to present your offering to God, who will reward you. (WM 3-13-86).
St Paul also speaks of sacrifice:
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. (Heb 13:16)
Reflection:
"Live this Lent," Our Lady says today, "with your small sacrifices." The Gospa knows well that God lovingly receives our sacrifices and uses them to draw us closer to Him, and to aid in no less than in the salvation of mankind.
Sacrifices are the true sign of love, for on the eternal level we gain nothing for ourselves, but direct our action outward for the benefit of another. For instance, we can speak many words of concern for the mentally handicapped, but it is quite a different thing to sacrifice several hours a week to help out a local center, especially if we find it a demanding experience. In much the same way, our sacrifice of giving up, say, alcohol or coffee for Lent is a concrete action of love for God that goes beyond mere words. A sacrifice made with love, as Mary urges us, is even redemptive in the hands of God, for it becomes joined to the greatest love-sacrifice of all, that of Christ on the cross.
In addition, sacrifices such as fasting amplify the power of prayer many fold. For again, it is a concrete expression of love - more than words - that directly touch the heart of God.
Thus Our Lady's message, "live this Lent with your small sacrifices," refers to a living love for God that is proved by more than words. It says to Him, "See that I love you by my sacrifices, by my self denial, I am serious. I love you even when it hurts, just as you loved me.
Application:
St. Therese, the Little Flower, once prayed and fasted for the conversion of a murderer on death row, who was also an atheist. On the day of his execution, at the gallows, he astonished everyone by reaching for the chaplains crucifix and kissing it. How aware are you of the great power you possess in prayer with sacrifice? For what intention can it be offered this week?

St. Gabriel Possenti, Patron of Clerics & Youth (Italy) 1838-1862
"There is more sweetness in one hour of prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament than in all the world's crowded theaters, and brilliant drawing rooms, and giddy diversions, and social gatherings" (St. Gabriel Possenti).
"He remains among us until the end of the world. He dwells on so many altars, though so often offended and profaned" (St. Maximilian Kolbe).
Mother Teresa -
Jesus said, " Learn of me for I am meek and humble of heart."
The naked truth is the magnet to draw hearts
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Walk with simplicity in the ways of the Lord and do not torment your spirit. Your must hate your faults, but with a quiet hate, not troublesome and restless. We must be patient with them and gain from them through holy humility. Without that patience, instead of diminishing, your imperfections will increase constantly, as there is nothing that nourishes our defects like restlessness, and the haste to drive them away.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen
How we have lowered the moral bar
"The growth of democracy has done much to do away with a false social snobbishness and to keep men humble in their external relations. But it has also, from another point of view, weakened the respect for Goodness and Truth, inasmuch as the masses of people are generally inclined to equate morality with the general level of society at any given moment."

March 1 - EXPERIENCE THIS PEACE
Our Lady speaks of peace in this monthly message:
"Dear Children, today I thank you and I want to invite you all to God's peace. I want each of you to experience, in your heart, this peace which only God can give. I bless you with God's blessing and beseech you to live, dear children, in the way I have shown you.
I love you, dear children, which is why I do not count the number of times I have called you—and continue to call you.
I thank you for all you have done according to my wishes. Help me, please, that I may present you to God and guide you to salvation." (Monthly Message June 25, 1987).
And in John's gospel, Christ gives his peace to his disciples:
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. (Jn 14:26-27)
Reflection:
The effect of the Holy Spirit's work in our lives is often a deep and lasting peace. Unlike the world's peace, which is only the absence of conflict, this peace lives in us as a confident assurance in all circumstances. With Christ's peace, we have no need to fear the past, present, or future.
Application:
Reflect today on this line from the philosopher Baruch Spinoza: "Peace is not an absence of war; it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, and justice."
Medjugorje Day By Day Feb 28 - Experience in your heart, this peace
Bl. Angela of Foligno, Widow & Mother (Italy) 1248-1309—Feast, February 28
"Burning with love for us, [Jesus] You desired to give Yourself to us and took up Your dwelling in the consecrated Host, entirely and forever, until the end of time. And You did this, not only to give us a memorial of Your death which is our salvation, but You did it also, to remain with us entirely and forever" (Bl. Angela of Foligno, Third Order Franciscan).
"Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, inflame our hearts with love for you."
Mother Teresa -
Holiness is the greatest gift that God can give us because for that reason He created us.
Meditations by Padre Pio -
Pray for the wicked, pray for the lukewarm, pray even for fervent souls, but pray especially for the Supreme Pontiff, for all the Spiritual and temporal needs of Holy Church, our most tender Mother. A special prayer for all those who are working for the salvation of souls and for God's glory.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen -
What goes up must come down!
"Almost all moments of high sensible exaltation are followed by a period of depression. This is particularly true in any experience which has to do with the flesh. Drunkenness is followed by the hangover, excesses by disgust, the dream stage of opium by disenchanting depression. The body cannot sustain continued pleasure. Even tickling can turn into pain."

Jesus Tells Us God Will Hold Us Accountable!
Today we attended our usual 8:00 A,M Mass at our parish where I made small offerings to Jesus and Mary and prayed for all with special needs and intentions.
Before receiving Holy Communion, I made an Act of Contrition. With the sacred Body and Blood of Our Savior on my tongue, I knelt with both hands covering my face in commune with Jesus. Feeling His magnificent presence humbling me so that tears flow. Immediately I told Jesus of my immense love for Him and how I want to become more and more pleasing in His eyes.
Then I prayed: Speak Lord (only/always if it be His will), Your servant listens. Jesus responded once again to my prayer saying, My child Eileen, I tell you truly, with each new day that passes, choices and decisions are made. Be forewarned that all will be accountable to the Father for choices and decisions made by each and everyone of you.
Also know that there will also be a storage reserve of all merits derived from living life through practicing such works as feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and giving alms to the poor. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Continue to pray for your brothers and sisters. Amen.
d things to good things where you can as in stopping abortion. Do not try to be someone who you are not, in trying to impress someone, or in trying to be politically correct. Be yourself as a humble person who follows My ways and not the world’s ways. Live a simple life without focusing on the latest fashions and rich looking attire. Instead, focus more on Me and what you need to do in working toward heaven. Follow your Lenten devotions of fasting and prayer to better your spiritual life instead of rushing to buy things that you do not need. Remember the last line of this reading: Those, who exalt themselves, will be humbled, while those, who humble themselves, will be exalted.
