READING THE BIBLE

 





READING THE BIBLE

(Pray to the Holy Spirit before reading Scripture!)

 
"You will find your Lord in the Bible, and that is why your contact with the revealed text has a special meaning.  It is contact with God who loves you and desires to affect you with his grace.

"This contact leads you to inner conversion, its greatest purpose. You should, therefore, not read the Bible just to satisfy your curiosity, or to gain knowledge, or to find a solution to a problem that is nagging you,  although this will be needed at times.   You should take advantage of this form of contact with the Lord in hope that He will bestow the grace of conversion on you.  

"If you enter into a person to person relationship with Christ, who is present throughout the inspired text, this text will permeate you.Then you will begin to listen intently to the Word of God, understand better the thoughts and desires of Jesus, and begin to know him even better.  Saint Jerome warns,  "Ignorance of the Holy Scriptures is ignorance of Christ."    Listening intently to the Word of God will influence your choices and decisions.  You will want them to be in accordance with his teachings and desires.  

"Reading of Scripture is fundamental to your growth in faith and your sharing in God's life.  It is looking at oneself and surrounding realities as though through the eyes of God."   [Father Tadeusz Dajczer d. 2009]  Source:  [Magnificat, January 10th, 2017, page 139]

AFIRE WITH LOVE


"The Infant Saint John with the Lamb"
Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1618-1682)
"He is Elijah who is to come." (Matt 11:14)


"Saint John the Baptist stands in a rocky landscape, a reference to the wilderness in which he lived as a young man, dressed in a camel-hair tunic and eating only locusts and honey.

"He embraces a lamb, a symbol of Christ’s sacrifice, and points towards heaven. According to the Gospel, when Saint John met Christ he declared: ‘Behold, the Lamb of God’. These words are inscribed in Latin on a ribbon wound around a reed cross, one of Saint John’s attributes (a symbolic object associated with him).

"The lamb is also a symbol of Christ as the Good Shepherd, who lays down his life for his sheep – as Christ is believed to have done for humanity’s salvation."  THE NATIONAL GALLERY
   

FIRE OF LOVE
"'I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!' (Lk 12:49) In the Bible, God often appears in the form of fire. Jesus has come to light the world with the fire of God's love. Fire is a powerful and ambivalent gift: it can give light and strength, it can purify, it can destroy. God is preparing us to live a life of eternal love. His fire burns away all that cannot live in the presence of such love."  [Magnificat, August 14, 2016, page 181-2]

in a landscape with classical ruins 
that allude to the defeat of paganism.

CHASTITY FOR PEACE

ST JOSEPH IS THE PATRON SAINT OF CHASTITY


Chastity for Peace on Earth !


Saint Joseph
Patron Saint of Chastity

Saint Joseph, Please pray for CHASTITY ! 

THE BRINGER OF WORLD PEACE THROUGH CHASTITY

  
Saint Joseph said, "Let my children honor my most pure heart .......
on the First Wednesday of the month."


The Joyful Mysteries
of the Rosary
honor St. Joseph especially.


YES! FIRST WEDNESDAYS !


Saint Joseph's words to Sister Mary Ephrem (Mildred Neuzil) in an apparition on March 19, 1958:
"I am the protector of the Church and the home, as I was the protector of Christ and His Mother while I lived upon earth. Jesus and Mary desire that my pure heart, so long hidden and unknown be now honored in a special way. Let my children honor my most pure heart in a special manner on the First Wednesday of the month by reciting the Joyful Mysteries of the rosary in memory of my life with Jesus and Mary and the love I bore them, the sorrow I suffered with them. Let them receive Holy Communion in union with the love with which I received the Savior for the first time and each time I held Him in my arms. Those who honor me in this way will be consoled by my presence at their death, and I myself will conduct them safely into the presence of Jesus and Mary."

ON THE FIRST WEDNESDAYS OF THE MONTH, WIN A HAPPY DEATH WHILE HONORING SAINT JOSEPH AND RECEIVING ABUNDANT GRACE FOR OURSELVES AND FOR THE WORLD!

  • Recite the Joyful Mysteries of the rosary
  • Receive Holy Communion

Saint Joseph pray for us!



EVERY TIME YOU HEAR ABOUT SOMETHING IMMORAL, ASK SAINT JOSEPH:
"SAINT JOSEPH, PLEASE HELP US GET BACK TO PURITY."


SO WASHED ARE WE!
Saint Joseph told Sister Mary Ephrem 
that his hands have been filled by Jesus
with abundant grace especially
to restore humanity to the
VIRTUE OF CHASTITY.
He has been thus honored by his Son
 and IS SO PLEASED TO HELP US!


Let us Pray to Saint Joseph and Make Sacrifices,
maybe say an extra decade of the Rosary every day? THIS IS AN EMERGENCY.  If we ever want to have Peace, we need to go for Chastity!


 Ancient Prayer to Saint Joseph
"O Saint Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires.

"O Saint Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, so that having engaged here below your Heavenly power I may offer my Thanksgiving and Homage to the most Loving of Fathers.

"O Saint Joseph, I will never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms.  I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart.  Press him in my name and kiss His fine Head for me, and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath.  

"Saint Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for us.  Amen"

Love, Jeanne

Christmas 2022 

December 25, 2022 Message to Jakov:  "Today, when the light of Jesus' birth is illuminating the entire world, in a special way, with Jesus in my arms, I am praying that every heart becomes a stable of Bethlehem, in which my Son will be born, so that your lives become a light of His birth. Little children, you live in peacelessness and fear. That is why, little children, today, on this day of grace, implore Jesus to strengthen your faith and to become the ruler of your lives; because, my children, only with Jesus in your lives will you not be looking at peacelessness but praying for peace and will live in peace; and you will not be looking at fear, but at Jesus Who frees us of all fears. I am your Mother who ceaselessly keeps vigil over you and I am blessing you with my Motherly blessing."  MEDJUORJE WEB

December 25, 2022 Message to Marija:  "Dear children! Today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, that you may be His peace and a reflection of clarity and joy of Heaven. Pray, little children, to be open to receive peace because many hearts are closed to the call of the light, which changes hearts. I am with you and am praying for you to open yourselves to receive the King of peace, Who fills your hearts with warmth and blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."  MEDJUORJE WEB

November 25, 2022 Message to Marija:  "Dear children! The Most High has sent me to you to teach you prayer. Prayer opens hearts and gives hope, and faith is born and strengthened. Little children, with love I am calling you: return to God, because God is love and your hope. You do not have a future if you do not decide for God; and that is why I am with you to guide you to decide for conversion and life, and not for death. Thank you for having responded to my call."  MEDJUORJE WEB

October 25, 2022 Message to Marija:  "Dear children! The Most High permits me to be with you, and to be joy for you and the way in hope, because mankind has decided for death.

Witness joyfully your faith and do not lose hope in a change of the human heart. I am with you and am blessing you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."  MEDJUORJE WEB

September 25, 2022 Message to Marija:  "Dear children! Pray that the Holy Spirit may enlighten you that you be joyful seekers of God and witnesses of love without bounds. I am with you, little children, and, anew, I am calling all of you: take courage and bear witness to the good works that God is doing in and through you. Be joyful in God. Do good to your neighbor so that it will be good for you on earth and pray for peace, which is threatened because Satan wants war and peacelessness. Thank you for having responded to my call."  MEDJUORJE WEB

June 25, 2022 Message: “Dear children I rejoice with you and thank you for every sacrifice and prayer which you have offered for my intentions. Little children, do not forget that you are important in my plan of salvation of mankind. Return to God and prayer that the Holy Spirit may work in you and through you. Little children, I am with you also in these days when Satan is fighting for war and hatred. Division is strong and evil is at work in man as never before. Thank you for having responded to my call.”  MEDJUORJE WEB

May 25, 2022 Message to Marija:  "Dear children! I am looking at you and thanking God for each of you, because He permits me to still be with you, to encourage you to holiness. Little children, peace is disturbed and Satan wants peacelessness. That is why, may your prayer be even stronger so that every unclean spirit of division and war may be stilled. Be builders of peace and carriers of joy of the Risen One in you and around you, for the good to win in every man. Thank you for having responded to my call."  MEDJUORJE WEB

March 25, 2022 Message to Marija:  "Dear children! I am listening to your cry and prayers for peace. For years, Satan has been fighting for war. That is why God sent me among you to guide you on the way of holiness, because humanity is at a crossroad. I am calling you to return to God and to God's Commandments that it may be good for you on earth, and that you may come out of this crisis into which you have entered because you are not listening to God who loves you and desires to save you and lead you to a new life. Thank you for having responded to my call."  MEDJUORJE WEB  This is the same day, March 25, 2022, the Solemnity of the Annunciation, that Pope Francis and all the bishops of the world, solemnly consecrated all the people of the world and especially Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  [Jeanne]


February 25, 2022 Message to Marija:  "Dear children! I am with you and we pray together. Help me with prayer, little children, that Satan may not prevail. His power of death, hatred, and fear has visited the earth. Therefore, little children, return to God and to prayer, to fasting and to renunciation, for all those who are downtrodden, poor, and have no voice in this world without God. Little children, if you do not return to God and His Commandments, you do not have a future. That is why He sent me to you to guide you. Thank you for having responded to my call."  MEDJUORJE WEB 

January 25, 2022 Message to Marija:  "Dear children! Today I am calling you to return to personal prayer. Little children, do not forget that Satan is strong and that he wants to attract all the more souls to himself. That is why, you be vigilant in prayer and resolute in the good. I am with you and am blessing all of you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."   MEDJUORJE WEB

The Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help, or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen.
