December 28, 2012 Message to Medjugorje visionary named Ivan Dragicevic
" "Dear
children, also today I desire to call you to joy. Anew I call you to joy!
I call you at the same time to responsibility. Dear children, accept my
messages responsibly and live my messages, because in the living of my
messages I desire to lead you to my Son. All of these years that I have
been together with you my finger has been directed toward the Son, towards
Jesus. I have a desire to lead all of you to Him. Therefore these days
that are upcoming, may your question also be -- and I pose this question
to you - 'What can I do that my heart may be closer to Jesus?' May this
question lead you. Say to yourselves, 'What must I leave behind? What
must I reject that my heart may be closer to Jesus? Pray dear children,
and I will pray for all of you that your answer in your hearts may be
'Yes, I desire to be closer to Jesus!' Thank you, dear children, for also
today having responded to my call."

A Prayer to Our Lady of Siluva
A Prayer
to Our Lady of Siluva
O Most Holy Virgin Mary, Thou who didst appear to the
shepherds in the fields at Siluva, Thou whose tears did bathe the rock
where once an altar stood, Thou who didst with plaintive voice say: “You
plow and seed here where formerly my Son was honored,” grant that we,
moved by Thy tears, may, once as our Forefathers did, revive the spirit
of adoration of Thy Son in our fallow hearts, strengthen the tottering
structure of the shrine which is the family, and seek forgiveness for
our negligence and sins.O Mother of God, we desire to raise up the glory of Your revelation from forgotten ruins, that we may all the more honor Thee, the Patroness of Lithuania, and with Thy help obtain for us the spirit of a living Faith. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Lady of Siluva
Our Lady of Siluva
For several generations the faithful worshiped God and honored the Blessed Mother in their little shrine church.
The story begins in 1457
The story of Our Lady of Siluva actually began in 1457, when Peter Giedgaudas, a diplomat for Vytautas the Great, built the first church in the area and gave the land to the Catholic Church. On one of his many travels he went to Rome and there obtained a magnificent painting of the Blessed Virgin Mary holding the child Jesus. He brought the painting back to Lithuania and put it in the sanctuary of the new church in Siluva.For several generations the faithful worshiped God and honored the Blessed Mother in their little shrine church.

"Dear children! In this time of
grace, I call all of you to renew prayer. Open yourselves to Holy
Confession so that each of you may accept my call with the whole heart. I
am with you and I protect you from the ruin of sin, but you must open
yourselves to the way of conversion and holiness, that your heart may
burn out of love for God. Give Him time and He will give Himself to you
and thus, in the will of God you will discover the love and the joy of
living. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Monday, November 05, 2012 Venerable Solanus Casey (1870-1957)
Barney Casey
became one of Detroit’s best-known priests even though he was not allowed to
preach formally or to hear confessions!
Barney came from a large family in Oak Grove, Wisconsin. At the age of 21, and after he had worked as a logger, a hospital orderly, a streetcar operator and a prison guard, he entered St. Francis Seminary in Milwaukee—where he found the studies difficult. He left there and, in 1896, joined the Capuchins in Detroit, taking the name Solanus. His studies for the priesthood were again arduous.
On July 24, 1904, he was ordained, but because his knowledge of theology was judged to be weak, Father Solanus was not given permission to hear confessions or to preach. A Franciscan Capuchin who knew him well said this annoying restriction "brought forth in him a greatness and a holiness that might never have been realized in any other way." During his 14 years as porter and sacristan in Yonkers, New York, the people there recognized him as a fine speaker. "For, though he was forbidden to deliver doctrinal sermons," writes his biographer, James Derum, "he could give inspirational talks, or feverinos, as the Capuchins termed them" (18:96). His spiritual fire deeply impressed his listeners.
Father Solanus served at parishes in Manhattan and Harlem before returning to Detroit, where he was porter and sacristan for 20 years at St. Bonaventure Monastery. Every Wednesday afternoon he conducted well-attended services for the sick. A co-worker estimates that on the average day 150 to 200 people came to see Father Solanus in the front office. Most of them came to receive his blessing; 40 to 50 came for consultation. Many people considered him instrumental in cures and other blessings they received.
Father Solanus’ sense of God’s providence inspired many of his visitors. "Blessed be God in all his designs" was one of his favorite expressions.
The many friends of Father Solanus helped the Capuchins begin a soup kitchen during the Depression. Capuchins are still feeding the hungry there today.
In 1946 in failing health, he was transferred to the Capuchin novitiate in Huntington, Indiana, where he lived until 1956 when he was hospitalized in Detroit. He died on July 31, 1957. An estimated 20,000 people passed by his coffin before his burial in St. Bonaventure Church in Detroit.
At the funeral Mass, Father Gerald, the provincial, said: "His was a life of service and love for people like me and you. When he was not himself sick, he nevertheless suffered with and for you that were sick. When he was not physically hungry, he hungere with people like you. He had a divine love for people. He loved people for what he could do for them —and for God, through them."
In 1960 a Father Solanus Guild was formed in Detroit to aid Capuchin seminarians. By 1967 the guild had 5,000 members—many of them grateful recipients of his practical advice and his comforting assurance that God would not abandon them in their trials. He was declared Venerable in 1995. From Saint of the Day--AmericanCatholic.org

October 2, 2012 Message to Mirjana
Today, October 2, 2012, Our Lady appeared
to the visionary Mirjana at the Blue Cross area in Medjugorje. She
delivered the following message:
"Dear children; I am calling you and am coming among you because I need you. I need apostles with a pure heart. I am praying, and you should also pray, that the Holy Spirit may enable and lead you, that he may illuminate you and fill you with love and humility. Pray that he may fill you with grace and mercy. Only then will you understand me, my children. Only then will you understand my pain because of those who have not come to know the love of God. Then you will be able to help me. You will be my light-bearers of God’s love. You will illuminate the way for those who have been given eyes but do not want to see. I desire for all of my children to see my Son. I desire for all of my children to experience his Kingdom. Again I call you and implore you to pray for those whom my Son has called. Thank you."

The feast of the three archangels- Sts. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael- will be commemorated on September 29.
St.
Michael whose name means "Who is like God" was the archangel who fought
against Satan and all his evil angels, defending all the friends of God.
He is the protector of
all humanity from the snares of the devil. St. Gabriel which means
"Strength of God" announced to Zachariah the forthcoming birth of John
the Baptist, and to Mary, the birth of Jesus. His greeting to the
Virgin, "Hail, full of grace," is
one of the most familiar and frequent prayers of the Christian people.
St Raphael meaning "Medicine of God" is the archangel who took care of
Tobias on his journey.
PRAYER TO ST RAPHAEL FOR HEALING
PRAYER TO ST RAPHAEL FOR HEALING
Glorious Archangel St. Raphael, great prince of the heavenly court, you are
illustrious for your gifts of wisdom and grace. You are a guide of those who
journey by land or sea or air, consoler of the afflicted, and refuge of
sinners.I beg you, assist me in all my needs and in all the sufferings of this life, as once you helped the young Tobias on his travels. Because you are the "medicine of God" I humbly pray you to heal the many infirmities of my soul and the ills that afflict my body. I especially ask of you the favor (here mention your special intention), and the great grace of purity to prepare me to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
God, with great wisdom You direct the ministry of Angels and men. Grant that those who always minister to You in heaven may defend us during our life on earth. Amen.

Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary
This feast is
a counterpart to the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus (January 3); both have the
possibility of uniting people easily divided on other matters.
The feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary began in Spain in 1513 and in 1671 was extended to all of Spain and the Kingdom of Naples. In 1683, John Sobieski, king of Poland, brought an army to the outskirts of Vienna to stop the advance of Muslim armies loyal to Mohammed IV in Constantinople. After Sobieski entrusted himself to the Blessed Virgin Mary, he and his soldiers thoroughly defeated the Muslims. Pope Innocent XI extended this feast to the entire Church.

I am calling you because I need you. Accept the mission and do not be afraid, I will strengthen you. I will fill you with my graces. With my love I will protect you from the evil spirit. I will be with you. With my presence I will console you in difficult moments. Thank you for your open hearts. Pray for priests.

Queenship of Mary
Pius XII
established this feast in 1954. But Mary’s queenship has roots in Scripture.
At the Annunciation, Gabriel announced that Mary’s Son would receive the
throne of David and rule forever. At the Visitation, Elizabeth calls Mary
“mother of my Lord.” As in all the mysteries of Mary’s life,
Mary is closely associated with Jesus: Her queenship is a share in Jesus’
kingship. We can also recall that in the Old Testament the mother of the king has
great influence in court.
In the fourth century St. Ephrem called Mary “Lady” and “Queen.” Later Church fathers and doctors continued to use the title. Hymns of the 11th to 13th centuries address Mary as queen: “Hail, Holy Queen,” “Hail, Queen of Heaven,” “Queen of Heaven.” The Dominican rosary and the Franciscan crown as well as numerous invocations in Mary’s litany celebrate her queenship.
The feast is a logical follow-up to the Assumption and is now celebrated on the octave day of that feast. In his encyclical To the Queen of Heaven, Pius XII points out that Mary deserves the title because she is Mother of God, because she is closely associated as the New Eve with Jesus’ redemptive work, because of her preeminent perfection and because of her intercessory power.

"The most important aspect of anyone's life on earth is his own personal holiness. That is what this Mission is all about. Personal holiness is the embrace of Truth as to where the soul stands before God. The soul pursues his personal holiness when he acts upon ridding his heart of all imperfections in Holy Love."
"Those who oppose this Mission have not recognized the Truth - do not seek the Truth, and in the reality of the Truth - are opposing the strengthening of the Remnant Faithful."
"Because the evil one disguises his lies in seeming good, the good fruits of this Ministry have been denounced and disallowed; but the graces at this site continue. No one can decree against them."

Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary
On November
1, 1950, Pius XII defined the Assumption of Mary to be a dogma of faith: “We
pronounce, declare and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma that the
immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her
earthly life, was assumed body and soul to heavenly glory.” The pope
proclaimed this dogma only after a broad consultation of bishops, theologians and
laity. There were few dissenting voices. What the pope solemnly declared was
already a common belief in the Catholic Church.
We find homilies on the Assumption going back to the sixth century. In following centuries the Eastern Churches held steadily to the doctrine, but some authors in the West were hesitant. However, by the 13th century there was universal agreement. The feast was celebrated under various names (Commemoration, Dormition, Passing, Assumption) from at least the fifth or sixth century. Today it is celebrated as a solemnity.
Scripture does not give an account of Mary’s Assumption into heaven. Nevertheless, Revelation 12 speaks of a woman who is caught up in the battle between good and evil. Many see this woman as God’s people. Since Mary best embodies the people of both Old and New Testament, her Assumption can be seen as an exemplification of the woman’s victory.
Furthermore, in 1 Corinthians 15:20 Paul speaks of Christ’s resurrection as the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Since Mary is closely associated with all the mysteries of Jesus’ life, it is not surprising that the Holy Spirit has led the Church to belief in Mary’s share in his glorification. So close was she to Jesus on earth, she must be with him body and soul in heaven.

DELIVERANCE
St. John Vianney says: "Praise be to Jesus."
"Today I have come to speak to you specifically about deliverance. There is great need for this today, but not all are given this gift or are called to such a ministry. It is attractive to many through spiritual pride. Deliverance seems to carry with it the pride of being 'in the know' and above others in the spiritual realm."
"But, I tell you, just reading a book, hearing a talk or desiring to be in the deliverance ministry does not give you the gift of deliverance. Deliverance ministry is a gift from God. Many are thrown off track by those who claim to be deliverance ministers, but are really looking for self-importance."
"Those who really are called to the deliverance ministry are chosen by God to help others; not to be in the spotlight themselves. They are humble, self-effacing and not looking for identity through titles."
"Most priests have the gift of deliverance if they are living in the Truth of Holy Love. There are few lay people who really have such a gift - but there are many who think they do, and profess that they do."
"Be wary of anyone who proclaims that he has any gift."
"In short a deliverance ministry is more than reciting a formula prayer or placing a label of 'Deliverance Ministry' upon yourself. It is more than intellect. It is spiritual - an interaction between human and Divine. Never presume to be more than God chooses for you. Let God decide what gifts to give you."

"Most priests have the gift of deliverance if they are living in the Truth of Holy Love. There are few lay people who really have such a gift - but there are many who think they do, and profess that they do."
"Be wary of anyone who proclaims that he has any gift."
"In short a deliverance ministry is more than reciting a formula prayer or placing a label of 'Deliverance Ministry' upon yourself. It is more than intellect. It is spiritual - an interaction between human and Divine. Never presume to be more than God chooses for you. Let God decide what gifts to give you."

Book of Daniel 7: 9-10,13-14
As I watched:
Thrones were set up
and the Ancient One took his throne.
His clothing was bright as snow,
and the hair on his head as white as wool;
his throne was flames of fire,
with wheels of burning fire.
A surging stream of fire
flowed out from where he sat;
Thousands upon thousands were ministering to him,
and myriads upon myriads attended him.
The court was convened and the books were opened.
As the visions during the night continued, I saw:
One like a Son of man coming,
on the clouds of heaven;
When he reached the Ancient One
and was presented before him,
The one like a Son of man received dominion, glory, and kingship;
all peoples, nations, and languages serve him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
that shall not be taken away,
his kingship shall not be destroyed.

Our Lady of Medjugorje's Monthly Message to Marija Pavlovic
Our Lady's Message of July 25, 2012
“Dear children! Today I call you to the 'good'. Be carriers of peace and goodness in this world. Pray that God may give you the strength so that hope and pride may always reign in your heart and life because you are God's children and carriers of His hope to this world that is without joy in the heart, and is without a future, because it does not have its heart open to God who is your salvation. Thank you for having responded to my call. ”

Hebrews 13:1-6 Sacrifices Well-Pleasing to God
Let brotherly Love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained Angels unawares.Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you also are in the body. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled; for God will judge the immoral and adulterous. Keep your life free from Love of Money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, I will never fail you nor forsake you. Hence we can confidently say, The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid; what can man do to me?

Prayer for the Protection of Religious Liberty
Prayer for the Protection of Religious Liberty
O God our Creator,
from your provident hand we have received our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
You have called us as your people and given us the right and the duty to worship you, the only true God, and your Son, Jesus Christ.
Through the power and working of your Holy Spirit,
you call us to live out our faith in the midst of the world,
bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel
to every corner of society.
We ask you to bless us
in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty.
Give us the strength of mind and heart
to readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened;
give us courage in making our voices heard
on behalf of the rights of your Church
and the freedom of conscience of all people of faith.
Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father,
a clear and united voice to all your sons and daughters
gathered in your Church
in this decisive hour in the history of our nation,
so that, with every trial withstood
and every danger overcome—
for the sake of our children, our grandchildren,
and all who come after us—
this great land will always be "one nation, under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Holy Love Ministry June 26, 2012
"I am your Jesus, born Incarnate."
"Always, always, My Victory comes into hearts, and so, too, the world when decisions are made based upon Holy Love. It is in this way that My Father's Will comes alive in the world."
"So you see where Satan's attacks most certainly lie; it is in weakening Holy Love in hearts in the present moment. Then the enemy of your salvation ushers in disunity, greed and distorted thinking. It is in this compromised state that souls are persuaded to surrender God-given rights and individual freedoms. Never before has freedom of conscience been so under attack - without outrage."
"Do not cooperate with Satan's agenda with meekness and docility. Stand firm in righteousness which is always Holy Love. Speak boldly for the Truth. Let the Light of Truth shine through you and all around, revealing evil for what it is. Do not allow the enemy to remain hidden under the cloak of darkness he prefers."
"Truth is your weapon. Truth is Holy Love."

Fasting for Freedom
Some of us, as American Catholics, may have allowed our esthetic practices to grow weak...or perhaps some of us have never cultivated them...
However, now is the time to ask God to help us to fast.
We have an octave now until the 4th of July.
We can fast now, each day, starting small, and increasing our fasting each day.
To break this
stronghold and persecution against our religious beliefs and freedom, fasting and prayer is needed!
So let us go to our knees each day and
ask God who gave us this nation,
to save our relgious beliefs
from tyrrany...
Also prayer each day to the Saint of the Day asking for their intercessory assistance.

Message to Mirjana - June 2, 2012
Today, June 2, 2012, Our Lady appeared to the visionary Mirjana Soldo and gave the following message:
"Dear
children, I am continuously among you because, with my endless love, I
desire to show you the door of Heaven. I desire to tell you how it is
opened: through goodness, mercy, love and peace – through my Son.
Therefore, my children, do not waste time on vanities. Only knowledge of
the love of my Son can save you. Through that salvific love and the
Holy Spirit He chose me and I, together with Him, am choosing you to be
apostles of His love and will. My children, great is the responsibility
upon you. I desire that by your example you help sinners regain their
sight, enrich their poor souls and bring them back into my embrace.
Therefore, pray, pray, fast and confess regularly. If receiving my Son
in the Eucharist is the center of your life than do not be afraid, you
can do everything. I am with you. Every day I pray for the shepherds and
I expect the same of you. Because, my children, without their guidance
and strengthening through their blessing, you can not do it. Thank you."

Today, May 25, 2012, Our Lady appeared to the visionary Marija and delivered the following message:
"Dear
children! Also today I call you to conversion and to holiness. God
desires to give you joy and peace through prayer but you, little
children, are still far away - attached to the earth and to earthly
things. Therefore, I call you anew: open your heart and your sight
towards God and the things of God - and joy and peace will come to reign
in your hearts. Thank you for having responded to my call."

We all Need Healing
God loves each and everyone of us. He's always there with a Hand ready to lift you up. He knows everything about you and what your going to ask him, even before you do. I believe God is always looking over us with His Tender Love and Care. Jesus Christ wants to heal us, he doesn't want anyone to suffer. All we have to do is ask Our Dear Lord Jesus Christ, to please come into my heart and fill me with your Holy Spirit so that i may see where i need to forgive and receive His Love. Once i have received the Lord's Mercy, i will have Peace and Healing. God Bless you all. St. Raphael

Mirjana's apparition of May 2, 2012
This
morning, on May 2, 2012, Our Lady appeared to the visionary Mirjana
Soldo in front of the Blue Cross at the base of Apparition Hill. After
the apparition, Mirjana reported that Our Lady gave the following
message:
"Dear
children! With motherly love I implore you to give me your hands,
permit me to lead you. I, as a mother, desire to save you from
restlessness, despair and eternal exile. My Son, by His death on the
Cross, showed how much He loves you; He sacrificed Himself for your sake
and the sake of your sins. Do not keep rejecting His sacrifice and do
not keep renewing His sufferings with your sins. Do not keep shutting
the doors of Heaven to yourselves. My children, do not waste time.
Nothing is more important than unity in my Son. I will help you because
the Heavenly Father is sending me so that, together, we can show the way
of grace and salvation to all those who do not know Him. Do not be hard
hearted. Have confidence in me and adore my Son. My children, you can
not be without the shepherds. May they be in your prayers every day.
Thank you."

Love

Public
Blessed Mother says: "Praise be to Jesus."
"Today I have come to help mankind to re-evaluate his priorities; for in days yet to come, much of what has taken over his heart and his life will be stripped away. Telecommunications, which have become the center of human existence, will not exist; then, as humanity is forced into a more simplistic life style, he will be more open to dependence on God."
"I tell you these things now while there is still time to propagate these Messages worldwide. Do not receive them only with mild, passing interest intellectually. Let what I am saying penetrate your heart. Focus on your relationship with God and neighbor; for this is what is everlasting."
"Realize that God has given you everything, and that nothing comes to you by your own merit. This is the way to be sustained in and through grace."
