The Miraculous Power of the Crusade Prayers and the Messages

Introduction
We had been praying for and trying to help a Crusade Prayer Group member’s son.
Following is the testimony of Graham at a Crusade Prayer Group Meeting
on Thursday, 24th September, 2015 at Veronica’s house:

Graham’s Testimony:

Hello everybody.
My name is Graham, and I have a story I would like to share with the world.
To believers, but most importantly, non-believers.

I started life in a public school, for which I have little memory. I started at Catholic School in Year 4, in Australia – that’s approximately 10 years old. While I was at this Catholic school I became an Altar boy and attended Mass so regularly I knew the service by heart. During this time, apart from the pretty normal troubles kids have, my life was normal. I also had and have a wonderful loving family. I continued going to Catholic School and serving as an Altar boy until I was 13 years old and then we moved to a Government Housing area.

I was very easily influenced and quickly fell into the wrong crowd. My Mum tried to keep us going to Church, but my brothers and I had other things we wanted to do. Once I stopped going to Church, my life began to descend into utter chaos. I started stealing, lying, having sex, disobeying my parents, and so much more. Needless to say, I ended up in Children’s jail. I served probably 18 months of my teenage years incarcerated.

When I got out, I managed to stay out of trouble with the Law of man, but continued to sin HORRIBLY, all the while CLAIMING to be Christian and to have faith. At around 22 I got addicted to Heroin, my God please forgive me for those years of my life, so Godless. I stole from EVERYONE! I had allowed myself to drift so far from God, that things I once would never DREAM of doing, I was now doing without batting an eyelid. My shame was, and still is, so great.

I managed to get away from this life style, thank God, but trouble, anger, problems and everything that could go wrong did go wrong still, so I retreated into online gaming, to escape reality. Here I met someone that became a good friend, but after a while he introduced me to The Lost Book of Enki, and I realised he was a God hater. I MUST be honest, I was sucked in by this obviously well put together ancient tablet. I actually started to believe some of it. After about a month of reading and research, which for a reason I didn’t understand at the time, I had an insatiable desire to absorb more and more information. Then I discovered that these tablets described the lies of one of the fallen ones.. The Egyptian gods. Once I started to see that these beings actually walked the Earth, and that SO much of what I found PROVES the bible is TRUTH, I came back to God in a way I never thought I would!!

I don’t believe anymore, I KNOW!! So I decided I wanted to follow God to the letter, and started to study the bible. Before long I found myself flooded with what I had no idea were Protestant type questions that I desperately needed answers for. Nothing anyone could tell me could convince me that the Catholic Church was right. I even attacked the prayers that we say to our most Blessed Virgin Mother, please God forgive me, saying we should pray to God alone. I kept researching and reading and everything led me to Protestant conclusions.

My Mum told me I was talking like a Protestant, so I tried to contact a Protestant Church. However, I ended up in touch with a Baptist Minister. He came to my home, we spoke about my concerns, we read the Bible and we prayed. He invited me to their Sunday service and I attended. They were lovely people, with the best of intentions, but the service that’s meant to WORSHIP God was so much less than that. I visited my Mum the following week and she gave me a book to read, “Warning from the Beyond”. TRY TO GET THIS BOOK!! After a very short time of reading, I was FILLED with grief, sadness, a horrible emptiness, followed by a feeling of CERTAINTY that Mary is INDEED our Most BLESSED Virgin Mother.

The following day my mother took me to meet the most dedicated, holy loving people I’ve EVER met!! If heaven will be full of people like these, BELIEVE me, YOU WANT TO BE THERE! I immediately felt like family. We started to pray the Rosary, and MANY other prayers, and during this prayer session the most AMAZING thing happened.(Graham is talking about our Crusade Prayer Group and the Crusade prayers).

I saw first a flash of light, followed by a dim illuminessence of the entire room, it slowly got brighter and brighter. I’m not sure how long it remained as I closed my eyes. At the time I thought someone had simply switched on the light and turned it up. The problem with this solution is, we were in a room on a bright sunny day with a HUGE window that had the curtain opened all the way. When I mentioned it to my mum, she had no idea what I was talking about, and no one else saw it either. That’s not possible, it was SO BRIGHT!!

Also during the rosary, we were doing Sorrowful Mysteries, I felt the most horrible feeling of betrayal, abandonment, loneliness and emptiness. I was so emotional I found it hard to pray. I now know this was a sign for me, reassuring that what we were doing was VERY pleasing to God.

I now know it was all one big journey guided by God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Blessed Virgin Mary to open my eyes to the evil ones that will soon be here, if they’re not already. And that I had all those questions so I could learn the answers to help those needing answers after the Illumination of conscience. I believe this to be the same reason God led me to meet the Baptists too, we got along very well. This opens options for them too, they can seek answers from someone who loves and serves God that they know.

People, if God still has time for this lowly sinner, he has time for us all. I hope that condensing something that should be a novel down to one page doesn’t take away from the message contained within. God NEVER gives up on us, it is MANKIND that have given up on him. WE ALL NEED TO PRAY!!

Please pray the rosary as OFTEN as you can! It’s our best weapon against the evil ones.
Pray for the Priests, Cardinals, and Bishops.
Pray for the Souls in Purgatory.
Our time is short!! Christ is coming.
God bless you.

Conversation between Graham and Donna (member of prayer group) after writing the testimony:
On Fri, Oct 2, Donna wrote:
“Ok firstly your testimony is AMAZING!! It’s so real. I LOVE it!!! It can’t help but touch souls! Wait til my mum reads it! …God has big plans for you, Graham! He loves you SO much! I think the prayers of our Blessed Mother saved you!

Graham replied:
“Oh believe me. You know what clinched it?
I had a thought that said
“Think of the lengths your mother would go to for you, now imagine if you were Christ!” That was IT for me!! I’m so sorry it took so long.

Donna: Wow- that’s amazing! I want mum to put that in too! (i.e. onto our website)
And you know what, when I read it, I was equally amazed about the “flash of light” as the rest of the light story.
I had instant recognition that I’d heard of that somewhere before but couldn’t remember where…
Then as I was re-telling mum, I suddenly remembered! It’s when Our Lady appears to the children of Fatima! Same details. Her appearance was always preceded by a flash of light.

At the time we prayed, I knew Our Lord was present- I thought I could feel His Presence or sense it. When you told your mum that it was because Mary and Jesus were present, I thought “of course, Graham is right. They must have both been there: Mary is always beside her son!”

And I just remembered one more thing. A long time ago, I told the others that there would be another (bigger) miracle when our prayer group was complete. It wasn’t complete yet; there were more to come and Jesus was waiting so no-one would miss out.

Well this clearly means you are one of us! Because I think this was the Miracle and the sign Jesus desired to give us. Even if you can’t be with us in body, you will be in spirit. (Graham .lives about 3 hours drive away and won’t be able to attend our prayer group very often).

In reference to the book mentioned in the testimony, Graham wrote:
“Our Blessed mother said that this book was to be made available to ALL
by putting it on the tables at the back of the Church FREE OF CHARGE.
This hasn’t been done either
This book describes SO MUCH!!
In my eyes, ESSENTIAL reading for the whole world”

Veronica’s Testimony:
On Thursday 24th September we had a visitor to our Prayer Group. He was the son of a prayer group member and we had been praying and trying to help him. He had been far away from his Faith and suddenly a few weeks ago went to Confession and Holy Communion. He had felt very special after Holy Communion and inspired. He started to read the Bible and anything he could find, but within a few days, he had turned and was accusing his mother of idolatry and worshipping holy pictures and statues. There were many other issues.

His mother was trying to help, Donna was trying to help the mother, but nothing helped and we were getting nowhere. Finally, a thought popped into my daughter’s head – she told his mum to invite him to a prayer group. And she did. There he was last Thursday at our JTM prayer meeting.

It all seemed very normal. He joined in all the prayers and the Rosary and chaplet. The only notable thing, which I mentioned to the group afterwards, was that during the Rosary (I think the Crucifixion) I heard a voice behind my shoulder say my name. I turned my head slightly in that direction but quickly realized there was no-one there but the ladies on either side of me praying. I knew it had to be my guardian angel. I thought that maybe I had been distracted, but I couldn’t recall the fact that I was, but it was quite probable, so I tried to focus on my prayers more intensely. (This was confirmed after I read Graham’s testimony about what he was feeling during these Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary.)

At the end, as usual we picked 3 readings at random from the Book of Truth and Bible.When we finished and started to chat, Graham said that every single word in every message was meant for him. He was on a “spiritual high” – he was full of zeal and ready to go and fight for Jesus!

The theme for our Crusade prayers for that day was “Special Graces”.

After Graham and his mum arrived home, he texted me with more information. He had been discussing the prayer group with his mother. Following is the conversation (as it is on my phone):

“Hi Veronica. It’s Graham. Just told mum about something that happened in prayer group today during the crusade prayers and she said I should have told you all.

The entire room lit up and got brighter, like when someone turns up a dimmer. I didn’t think much of it as I honestly thought someone had done just that but mum said she never saw it. But it was so bright she couldn’t have missed this!!”
Veronica’s reply:
“Wow!!!. That is huge. Jesus keeps reinforcing the fact that He is there with us at every prayer group just like he promised.”
“It is symbolic of the Truth starting to dawn on you until it became very clear.”
Graham: I agree, but I think it was also because Jesus and Mary were rejoicing over our utter devotion and offering of such holy prayers. Also assuring me that they were with us and love us.”
Veronica :
Yes U are right. When they are seen they always approach as a light first. Jesus also promised in those messages that He is present at all Crusade prayer groups. He also promised many miracles and we have seen quite a few in ours.”

Veronica’s comment (in summing up the prayer group for that day):
Once more, God in His benevolence had picked readings for us which explain the theme (Special Graces) that we prayed for today. The prayers explained the theme we had chosen for that day.
It is more than co-incidence. It happens all the time. It is God-incidence.

Most of all, through these readings and these prayers, a most amazing thing happened.
God had worked quietly on our visitor during our prayers.
These prayers are so powerful – as has been shown to us many times.
Praise be to God!

Feast of the Guardian Angels – for our times

Feast of the Guardian Angels 2nd October, 2015

This morning at Mass, I thought that the Reading seemed to be especially for us in these end times. Our angels would lead us (just as they did Moses and the Israelites who were in the Desert on their way to the Promised Land.) If we listen to our angel, God will protect us against our enemies.

Epistle (Traditional Latin Mass)  Exodus 23: 20-23

 Behold I will send my angel, who shall go before thee,

and keep thee in thy journey,

and bring thee into the place that I have prepared.

Take notice of him, and hear his voice,

and do not think him one to be condemned:

for he will not forgive when thou hast sinned,

and my name is in him.

But if thou wilt hear his voice, and do all that I speak,

I will be an enemy to thy enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee.

And my angel shall go before thee

A Tribute to our Guardian Angels Part IV: The Letterbox and the Phone.

The following Testimony was donated by a Prayer Group member.

My Guardian Angel Saved My Life

One day I wanted to post some letters, so I stopped at a side street off a main road. I parked across the road opposite the letter box. I had to walk across the road to post them. The street was a “T” intersection.

As I dropped the letters in the big red letter box, I heard a voice say to me, “check the letters.” I said back to it in my mind, “I dropped them in.” It said again a little louder this time, “Check the letters in the box.” I said again, “ I put them in.” It then repeated again, even louder still, “CHECK THE LETTERS IN THE BOX.”

I said, “OK.” So I checked the letter box. I said, “see I put them in.” Just as I finished saying that I put my foot onto the road stepping off the nature strip and around the corner coming from the main road was this Combi van speeding.
He did not slow down to take the corner. He was in the middle of the road just as I put my foot on the road. So If I had not checked the letters I would have been in the middle of the road as he came around the corner. He wouldn’t have been able to stop in time as the letter box was very close to the corner.

I would have been killed if I didn’t listen to my Guardian Angel. It was really funny as our conversion was only a few seconds, but we said a lot. I thanked my Guardian angel for protecting me and asked for forgiveness, and said I was sorry for not listening the first time. So I give thanks to my dear Guardian angel and to God for giving us Guardian angels.

My Guardian Angel Telling Me To Phone My Friend

For many years I use to pick up a priest from M. He was a traditional Latin Priest. His name was Fr P.F. I used to take him to a house in T every Friday night at 6pm and he would celebrate the Latin Mass. The lady’s name was Emily. She was a really lovely lady. Both Emily and Fr F have passed away but I have fond memories of them both. Fr P F taught me a lot about the traditional Latin Mass and many other things. He had a good sense of humor too.

I drove Fr F for over 6 years every Friday night to Emily’s place. We hardly ever missed a Mass over there.

This one day, late in the afternoon, I heard a voice that said to me, “ring Emily”. I said again. “I don’t have to as I know she is going to have the Mass.” It repeated again, “ring Emily.” So I thought about it because it was not long before I had to leave. I thought it is only a phone call to check if Mass was on.

So I phoned Emily and she told me that she was not having Mass that night. I was so glad I phoned so I didn’t make the trip from N to M and then to T for nothing. It use to take me over 1 ½ hours to get to Emily’s after I picked Fr F up. Then another 1 ½ to take him home again. This was all in peak hour traffic too.

I thanked my Guardian Angel for telling me to phone first. I never used to ring before we went on Friday. It was just this one day I heard the voice.

JTM Prayer Meeting, Thursday 1st October, 2015

Theme for prayers today was “Discipleship”.

Messages are chosen at random.

Much of humanity will be cleansed and will then be ready for the long awaited Era of Peace
7 November 2012

My dearly beloved daughter, all the world will feel the changes, as every country will experience a stillness and a sense of anticipation, yet many will not understand why this is happening.
Life will change and, for those who trust in me, you will have much to look forward to in the future.
Think of the world as if it is a living person suffering from a terrible illness.
He must suffer, feel pain, and endure the period during which the disease is treated by his doctor.
Many people respond to treatment quickly.
Others more slowly.
Others not at all.
Some patients have hope and accept that their body will have to endure a sometimes-painful treatment before he will feel well and healthy again.
The world is suffering from an infestation caused by the influence of Satan where he, and his demons, coax, tempt and convince God’s children that sin does not exist.
They plunge from one crisis of the spirit to the next.
How they displease my beloved Father.
How much pain they will have to endure before they can live life the way in which the Laws of God dictate.
Once this illness, however, is treated and after the pain has gone, much of humanity will be cleansed and will then be ready for the long awaited era of peace.
The era of peace, promised to all those who follow God’s teachings, will await those who have redeemed themselves before my eyes.
Each of you will be shown the truth.
Then you will be able to distinguish between the ugliness of sin and that of the purity, which is required to enter my glorious Kingdom.
When each person has been shown the truth, none of them will doubt it, but not all will embrace it.

It is time for mankind to see what has happened to the world because of greed, selfishness and a love of self.
No regard is paid to the welfare of those who are unfortunate in life.
There is little regard for human life anymore.
You must drop your arrogance, for if you don’t you will be stripped of all that you possess.

The various leaders in different nations will soon join ranks and prepare to destroy Christianity throughout the world.
Because of this, the bowls of fire and lightning will be poured out over the world to punish the wicked.

You must understand, however, that much of the chastisements planned by My Father have been mitigated because of your prayers.
Keep strong.
Continue with my Crusade Prayers and never give up hope.
Your Jesus

I call on all of you, who don’t know Me
30 April 2012

My dearest beloved daughter, I must explain to those people, who believe in God, but who do not go to Church or pray.
Many do not know how to pray.
A little like the way in which you, My daughter, find it difficult.
Prayer means to ask.
Prayer means to communicate.
Prayer means to show love and give thanks.
Many people today, well-meaning and of generous heart do not know how to pray.
Some will find it distasteful and will feel awkward.
Others will feel that their prayers won’t count.
Oh how I love these special souls.
So far removed and yet how I yearn to show them my deep love.
I call on all of you who don’t know me.
There is no need to fear me.
All you have to do is to ask me to take you and give you comfort.
Let me prove My Love.
Speak to me in your own simple words.
Nothing will shock me.
Confide in me your worries, as I will soothe your heart.
Let me help you to feel true peace.
Ask me to sort out your concerns.
I will show you the truth so that your worries will no longer seem as bad.
How will you know I hear you?
How will you be sure that I will respond to you?
Just sit down quietly and ask me to help you with this prayer, to help you open your heart to me and to ask for my help.
Crusade Prayer (50) Jesus help me to know who you are
“o dear Jesus, help me to know who you are.
Forgive me for not speaking with you before now.
Help me to find peace in this life and be shown the truth of eternal life.
Soothe My Heart.
Ease my worries.
Give me peace.
Open My Heart now, so that you can fill my soul with your love.
Amen.”
Many of you will not come to me at this time.
But that is okay.
In times of hardship, confusion and fear, you will.
I stand with you every day, although you do not realise this yet, but very soon you will see me and know the truth of my promise to grant you eternal life in body, mind and spirit.
I await your call.
Then I can take you, when the time is right, to the gates of the new era of peace and my New Paradise on Earth.
Your friend
Your beloved Jesus

My final Plan to gather My Church into My Refuge is about to be revealed
5 April 2014

My dearly beloved daughter, I desire to give courage and fortitude to each of you, who have been given the gift of discernment to recognise my voice, as I speak to the world through these messages.

As you, my remnant, march forward, in union with My Church on Earth, you will soon see many people withdraw from the holy sacraments.
This will be upsetting for you and will then become a torment, because soon they will be desecrated and will no longer be the same sacraments, which I gave the world.
You must never waste time, if you truly believe that I am speaking with you.
Go – gather my priests and those who respond to My Call.
Then prepare for the years ahead, so they can feed my flock with the food of life, when there will be no trace of my presence left.
When all that is of me and of who I am is taken out of My Churches, all that will be left will come from all that I am not.
The Devil incarnate will enter My Church and he will infest everyone who bows before him and worships him.
He will devour souls for eternity and you must remain alert at all times, for those times which lie ahead.

Do not leave yourselves open to heresy, which will invade My Church from both within and from outside of it.
You are being prepared now, so you must follow all that I will tell you, so you can save My Church, in so much as you can, from my enemies.
My final plan to gather My Church into my refuge is about to be revealed.
When I instruct you, you will need great strength and perseverance, for your foe will be the Antichrist – and his army, sadly, will be bigger than mine in size.
And so, this will be daunting for you – but know this.
It will not have the power of God behind it and it will never overcome you, once you remain faithful to my word.
Go in peace and await my instructions.
Your Jesus

Those who try to uphold the Word, within My Churches, will be silenced by expulsion
7 April 2014

My dearly beloved daughter, the seeds have been sown and every detail of the plan, to prepare the world for the Antichrist, has been completed.
Every change, which you will witness in the world of politics and My Church on Earth are linked – as is every gesture made between nations – as is every law that defies God’s laws.

It is no coincidence that such laws are being introduced, around the world, at such speed as they are now, for they have been orchestrated carefully.
New, sudden announcements, regarding the forging of links between state and Church, where their laws become entwined, will be sprung upon you.
Those who try to uphold the word, within My Churches, will be silenced by expulsion.

No mercy will be shown to those who try to defend My Church, because my enemies will declare the opposite to be true.
You, my followers, will be declared heretics for disobeying the new rules, which will soon be laid down by My Church.
You will be told that My Church cannot err and so, even when you uphold the truth, you will be isolated.

My Church will never err.
My chosen leaders will never err, but when an imposter seizes power, you must not follow him, when he declares the truth to be a lie.
You will know, through the power of the Holy Spirit, when that day dawns.
And, on that day, you must follow me, Your Jesus.
Pray for my courage, so that I can sustain you, because you will need nerves of steel to remain true to me, when the world will be coerced into falling flat, in complete surrender of free will, before the Antichrist.
Your Jesus

You will soon be told to use your faith to create a political campaign around the world to save the poor
6 October 2013

My dearly beloved daughter, the voice of the False Prophet roars about all that is sacred in My Church.
Little, however, will be said about the importance of upholding God’s teachings, sacraments and the proclamation of the truth.

Instead, you will see diversions, such as looking after the world’s poor and hungry, and this will be deemed to be your first task as servants of God.
As servants and followers of God in the Church, your first allegiance is to the truth of what I told you.
Loving the poor and the hungry and helping them is a good thing, but My Church on Earth has a much bigger role, which was sworn to me.
This includes the teaching of the truth in everything I taught you and you will do this, if you truly love me.

The Church has a mission to teach the truth of My Teachings.
Taking one aspect of my word, to help the poor is admirable, but misleading, as My Teachings clearly state that you must help the poor in soul.
Help them to cure their soul, before you help them to be free of life’s afflictions.
If I give you a poor man and ask you to help him, how would you do this?
Give him clothes?
Money to feed his family?
Or, would you have me save his soul first?
You will soon be told to focus all your attention on the world’s poor.
You will be asked for money – and this will be taken from different sources to help the world’s poor, jobless and homeless.
You will be told that I, Jesus Christ, always loved the poor.
The problem is this.
I seek out the poor of spirit first – to free them away from their lost lives.
The poor of soul – those who have little spiritual feeling for God – are the ones I crave.
Blessed are those who are poor in this life, with little to show for it, but who love me, for these people are not poor at all.
The rich man, who has no love for me, is in more need of My Love, My Mercy, my compassion, than those who are forced to find food, clothes and shelter.
How you love me and how you ask me to save you is what you need to pay attention to.
The sacraments will be the saving force of those who are rich and poor, but who have no love for me.
You will soon be told to use your faith to create a political campaign around the world to save the poor by leaders in My Churches everywhere.
Nothing will be said to encourage you to prepare for my second coming, for they will not dare to prepare you for this great day.
They would rather take your mind off me by asking you to spend more time honouring the works of the False Prophet.

Very shortly, statues, relics, posters, cups and large commissioned paintings will be made of the False Prophet to be placed in Churches everywhere.
His image, along with the Antichrist, in time, will adorn many public places, Churches, political centres, as well as, in countries where their parliaments will be seen to embrace the Catholic Church in a ‘new light.’ this will create a new form of false evangelism, and because it will appeal to a modern secular society, it will attract admirers from all over the world.

Not one word will condone the importance of the holy sacraments, as they were given to the world or the important graces, which they yield.
Instead, each will be played down – extra meanings added, in order to appeal to those who deny them as they are. This will be in the hope that the abomination of the desecration of my sacraments will be offered to as many people as possible, to take them away from God, so that the enemies of God can complete their pact with the Devil.

The Devil will deceive many who belong to My Church in this time in history.
He will do this in the most charming and convincing way and he will justify lies when his servants will say that I would approve of these new changes.
I, Jesus Christ, will be misquoted in order to win over souls.
My Teachings will be twisted in order to destroy My Church and steal those souls closest to me.
Millions will accept the lies, without a care in the world.
You must pray for them in the hope that they will realise, in time, that something is wrong.

When I appoint leaders and when a chosen soul has been appointed to spread my holy word, within My Church on Earth, the truth is always straightforward, clear, concise, and straight to the point.
When you are being lied to, through the influence of the spirit of evil, you will become confused.
Phrases won’t make sense.
So-called improvements, presented by enemies within My Church, mean that the truth is not ‘good enough.’
My word, my sacraments, My Teachings do not need to be improved upon, for they came from me.
I am God.
I am perfect.
My word remains forever.
Any man who tampers with my most holy word is an enemy of God.

My anger is great at this time and any man who treats My Body, the most Holy Eucharist, with disrespect and says he leads My people, know that this is untrue.
I would never request a leader in My Church to change the word of God, by introducing new meanings or new interpretations.
This could never be.
Your Jesus

NAB BIble Isaiah 8: 5-17
Yahweh spoke to me again and said,
6 ‘Since this people has rejected the waters of Shiloah which flow smoothly, and has trembled before Razon and the son of Remaliah,
7 now, against it, the Lord will bring the mighty, swelling waters of the River (the king of Assyria and all his glory); the River will flood up all its channels and overflow all its banks;
8 it will flow into Judah, flooding everything and passing on; it will reach right up to the neck, and the spreading of its wings will cover the whole extent of your country, Immanuel!
9 Realise this, peoples, and be afraid, listen, all members of far-off nations! Arm yourselves yet be afraid! Arm yourselves yet be afraid!
10 Devise plans as you may: they will come to nothing! Make what pronouncements you like; it will not come about! For God is with us!’
11 For this was how Yahweh spoke to me when his hand seized hold of me and he taught me not to follow the path of this people, saying,
12 ‘Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy; do not dread what they dread, have no fear of that.
13 Yahweh Sabaoth is the one you will proclaim holy, him you will dread, him you will fear.
14 He will be a sanctuary, a stumbling-stone, a rock to trip up the two Houses of Israel; a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
15 over which many of them will stumble, fall and be broken, be ensnared and made captive.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal the instruction in the heart of my disciples.’
17 My trust is in Yahweh who hides his face from the House of Jacob; I put my hope in him.

 

Padre Pio and his Guardian Angel.

We all have a guardian angel, to protect us and guide us.
St Padre Pio had a great devotion to his guardian angel, and he encouraged his “spiritual children” to do the same.

Father Alessio, (Padre Pio’s attendant), told Padre Pio about a woman who had just written with a question about her job. He was surprised at his response. “I am very busy right now,” Padre Pio replied. “I cannot answer your question at this time.”

Father Alessio was confused. It was obvious to him that Padre
Pio was not busy. He was sitting alone with his Rosary in his hand.
He always had his Rosary in hand. Father Alessio remained silent.
“There have been many guardian angels here today,” Padre Pio
explained to Father Alessio. “They were bringing me messages
from my spiritual children. Did you see them?”

One day, Father Alessio was sitting by Padre Pio’s side, thinking
about his problem with oversleeping. He felt ashamed of
himself for being so unreliable. He told Padre Pio that he could
not understand why his alarm clock failed to wake him up. “You
must buy yourself another alarm clock,” Padre Pio said. “I am
not going to continue to send my guardian angel to you each
day to wake you up!” It was then that Father Alessio realized for
the first time who had been knocking on his door and calling to
him in his sleep.

On one occasion, when a man was making his confession to
Padre Pio, it became apparent to him that Padre Pio was aware
of his needs, even before he had a chance to verbalize them.
“The angel told me about your problems,” Padre Pio explained.

A Tribute to our Guardian Angels Part III: An Angel’s Name

(Submitted by a Crusade Prayer member)

I asked my Guardian Angel his Name

About 20 years ago, I heard that you can ask your Guardian Angel his name and he will tell you, so I decided to do just that.

I prayed about it and then I asked my Guardian angel his name. As soon as I did that a name that I had never heard of before popped into my head, but I was not happy. I did not feel at peace and I could not remember the name and I felt that the name came too quickly.

A little while later, I decided to try again with exactly the same result. I was still just as disturbed as the first time.

I decided to pray some more and tried to place myself in a quiet state of mind again. I then again asked my Guardian Angel his name and then a surprising thing happened that I did not expect. I heard in my head a very quiet but clear voice which I would not have heard if there had been any noise and what I heard was “My name is Joshua”. I was at peace.

As a result of this experience I always address him as ‘Joshua’ rather than ‘Angel of God’. I feel I have a more personal relationship with him, but I tread carefully about what I can actually ask for – whether he can, or should help me, or whether it is out of place for me to ask. It’s as if I don’t want to take undue advantage or our wonderful friendship/ relationship.

Every morning I ask him to help me with my day – eg my driving during the day. He feels like a brother to me.

Editor’s comment: St Padre Pio explained to one of his spiritual children “… and this heavenly spirit guides and protects us like a friend, a brother.”

A Tribute to our Guardian Angels Part II: A Car, A Bus, and a Voice

Testimony from a prayer group member

A Giant Angel’s Protection in a Car Accident

One day, when my granddaughter was 6 years old, she had a dream which she related to me. It entailed a “giant” angel on the window of her mum’s car, of which she was a passenger. A few weeks later, she was being driven home from school by her mother. At the time I was also driving home from work and saying the Rosary.

I received a call to say that my daughter had driven into a telegraph pole. Both were okay, but the car was a write-off. My granddaughter was sitting in the front seat (this was before laws which now do not allow children this young in the front). Her schoolbag was under the dashboard, which had been pushed right up to the seat. The bag could not be retrieved from under the dashboard, but my granddaughter was unharmed, as was my daughter. Their escape was miraculous. The only explanation was my granddaughter’s dream – that an angel had lain across the windscreen and protected them from harm.

My future husband’s time had not yet come.

My husband had just started work as a 16 year old in the city. He had an errand to go to the Post Office. He caught the bus, which was an old style double-decker with a door at the back as well as the front. The bus was in the middle lane, and cars were parked in the left lane. Traffic was slow and he was eager to get off. He could see the bus stop up ahead, where he knew the bus had to pull into. There were now no more cars parked in the left lane. He went to quickly jump off the slow-moving bus, but he couldn’t move! Just at that second, a sports car zoomed past the bus. It had come out of an underground carpark beneath one of the buildings and was racing to get past the bus before it reached the bus stop. He would not have survived. God still had plans for him!!! He didn’t tell anyone of this story till decades later.

Me and my angel

I love my Guardian angel. I have always, since I was little prayed the Guardian Angel Prayer every morning. I try to have a devotion to my dear Guardian angel. I talk to him at times, and ask him for favours – like trying to get me safely across a difficult intersection in the car. Sometimes I send him to someone whom I urgently need to contact who is not answering their phone. Whenever I have to get up early, I just ask my angel to wake me up in the morning at a certain time. He never fails. I don’t use an alarm clock. When I am at Mass, and find that my mind wanders, I ask my guardian angel to shield my mind so that I can focus on Jesus and the Mass. It works every time.

Recently I was with our Crusade Prayer Group and during the Rosary (5th decade – the Crucifixion), I heard someone behind my shoulder say my name. I turned my head slightly, on a natural impulse, but realised there was no-one there – only the usual prayer group members on either side, who were praying. I thought immediately it was my angel. I pondered for a few seconds, the reason for this, and came to the conclusion that my prayers needed more intensity – that perhaps I was distracted (although I couldn’t remember the fact that I was being distracted). As it turned out, all our prayer were needed that day for a special intention, which we found out afterwards.

It will only be the brave and courageous amongst you, who love Me the most, who will lead My army towards salvation

28 February 2013
My dearly beloved daughter, these days, almost upon you, bring with them a terrible darkness and despair, the likes of which has never been witnessed in your lifetimes.
This darkness will be of the spirit and will be caused by the emptiness of those souls who follow the Antichrist and the False Prophet.
The pain of the spirit, which they will inflict on Christians, who will refuse to listen to heresy, will be difficult to endure.
I only tell you this, so you will know in your hearts, that the pain of rejection you feel will be because you, by upholding my holy word, will suffer in My Name.
You must never question the huge demands, which will be made upon you, or lose confidence, for it is I, your king, who has the power to ensure that you can bear this.
Nor, must you ever doubt that this remnant army, of which you will now become part of in order to remain true to me, Jesus Christ, has been foretold.
Do not listen to those who will try to tell you that you must not believe in these, my holy messages for the world, for they are being deceived.
You must pray for those who will not have the strength or the spirit of discernment and who will choose the wrong fork in the road.
Many who will follow the False Prophet, will try to drag you down the same road.
Brother will fight brother and sister, Father against son, mother against daughter – all in their quest to follow the truth, but so many will fail to see the errors of the teachings of the False Prophet and will be lost to me.
It will only be the brave and courageous amongst you, who love me the most, who will lead my army towards salvation.
They will bring with them billions of souls, under my guidance, to safety.
This is why you must never give up.
Your Jesus

Even those, who commit terrible sin, are loved by God the Father

20 April 2012
My dearest beloved daughter, My children must be told of the intense love that I hold in my Sacred Heart for every child born on this Earth.
Even those, who commit terrible sin, are loved by God the Father.
Each one of you is a child of God.
Because of this you are abused, tormented and hurt by Satan and his demons.
To those hardened sinners, members of Satan’s army, who know that God exists, but who choose to idolise the beast, know this.
No matter how much homage you pay Satan, remember, he does not love you.
He hates you and will destroy you.
His promises to offer you a Paradise, both on Earth and beyond, are empty lies.
Very soon you will be given proof of My Love for you.
There will be no doubt in your heart that I, your beloved Jesus, want to embrace you, forgive you and bring you eternal peace, love, joy and happiness in my new Kingdom, the New Paradise.
Never be afraid to turn your back on the life you lead where you idolise all the perceived gifts of wealth, sex and other material comforts offered to you by Satan, whose reign on this Earth comes to an end shortly.
Only I, your beloved Jesus, can save you.
My Mercy is so great that I will forgive you anything when you feel remorse.
Hurry.
Come to me now.
Do not waste one second, for your future happiness is at stake.
I promise you eternal life, peace, love, joy and a beautiful Paradise where you will be loved, cherished and where you will want for nothing.
If you cannot accept My Hand of Mercy now, then when the time comes on the last day, you will be given one more chance to ask me for mercy.
When this day comes, you will, many of you, realise the mistake you have made.
Yet, I will still embrace you, like a long lost and much loved child of God, no matter how much you have suffered by the hand of evil.
All you have to do will be to call out to me and ask for My Mercy.
If you are involved, at this time, in a web of deceit and evil, from which you cannot escape, then I ask you to call on me by reciting this:
Crusade Prayer (46) free me from the chains of Satan
“o Jesus, I am lost.
I am confused and feel like a prisoner caught in a web I cannot escape from.
I trust you, Jesus, to come to my aid and free me from the chains of Satan and his demons.
Help me, for I am lost.
I need your love to give me the strength to believe in you and trust in you, so that I can be saved from this evil and be shown the light so I can find peace, love and happiness at last.
Amen.”
Your beloved Jesus

I cannot force people to convert or turn back

15 October 2011
My dearly beloved daughter, as more people hear my word, My Love will infiltrate their souls as soon as they read my messages.
I will speak to their souls and awaken their slumber in order to unite them with me so that I can save souls everywhere.
Strength in numbers will help me achieve the salvation of souls on such a grand scale.
Because of the free will given to man as a gift from My Father, I cannot force people to convert or turn back to the faith in God the Father.
It will have to be their own decision.
Prayer will spread conversion.
Of that I promise you.
Just think of the gift that awaits souls when you, My children, pray for them.
Don’t you know the power of prayer?
Prayer said by the multitudes, in thanksgiving to My Father and in atonement for your sins, can save the world.
Such is the power it wields.
Never before have I urged you so much for your prayers, which must come from your own lips and with a generosity of heart for hardened sinners everywhere.
I need your prayers.
Without your prayers these poor souls may not be saved, because many of them are in such darkness that the impact of The Warning will have little effect.
You, my cherished, beloved children, all of you sinners, many of whom do your best to show me your love, don’t you realize that I rely on you so much to keep me company.
Join with me in the bosom of my Sacred Heart and ask me for the graces to save your brothers and sisters.
I will save millions of souls when you devote your time to praying the Divine Mercy.
This is the time when the recital of the Divine Mercy will be most effective.
Be generous of heart, mind, body and soul.
Cast any doubts aside.
Allow me, Your Jesus, to lift you up to bring you and all those you pray for into my eternal life.
Your Beloved Saviour
Jesus Christ
Douay Rheims Bible. Luke 9: 33-35
And it came to pass, that as they were departing from him, Peter saith to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias; not knowing what he said. [34] And as he spoke these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they entered into the cloud. [35] And a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son; hear him.
Message for today:
The readings today speak of the darkness and the pain of spirit this will inflict on us soon. It seems most pertinent in light of recent events in Cuba and US.
They speak of Jesus’ Love for each sinner and the need for repentance and they also speak of the promise of the new Kingdom. The Bible reading emphasises this and is to remind us of his second coming in His glorious majesty.

St Michael and the cave at Monte Sant’ Angelo

 

144St Michael first appeared in about the year 490AD.

One day, a nobleman of the area, lost the best bull of his herd. After days of searching he found it kneeling in an inaccessible cave. He couldn’t get near it, so he shopt an arrow, but the arrow turned around and came bavk and hit him.

He was so surprised at thios unusual occurrence that he went straight to the bishop, who ordered him to pray and fast for 3 days.. The Archangel appeared to the Bishop 3 days later and said:

“I am Michael the Archangel and am always in the presence of god. I chose the cave which is sacred to me. There will bw no more shedding of bull’s blood ( referring to a pagan practice in the area). Where the rocks open widely, the sins of man may be pardoned. What is asked here in prayer will be granted. Therefore, go up to the mouintain cave and dedicate it to the Christian cult!!”

The Bishop delayed in obeying the angel’s order because he was undecided.

Two years later, in 492, the Christian city of Siponto at the foot of the mountain, was besieged by pagan hordes. The people were desperate. The Bishop obtained a 3 day truce from the pagans and ordered prayer and penance.

The Archangel appeared to him and promised his help if the townspeople dared to attack the enemy. A severe storm, with sand and hail, rained on the pagan army, which was terrorized and escaped. The town was saved. The Bishop announced a thanksgiving procession and went with the people to the top of the mountain, but he did not venture into the grotto.

On the third anniversary, the Bishop was still not sure if he should follow the angel’s order.He went to the Pope who ordered him to fast for 3 days then go there with other bishops.

St Michael appeared for the third time and ordered him to enter the grotto. The angel said:

“It is not necessary that you dedicate this church that I have consecrated with my presence. Enter and pray with my assistance and celebrate the Sacrifice. I will show you how I have consecrated this place.”

 

141

The bishop entered the cave and found an altar covered with a red cloth and a crystal cross, and at the entrance was a child’s footprint, which confirmed the presence of the Archangel St Michael.

The bishop had a chapel built at the entrance to the grotto and dedicated it on September 29th. It is the only place that is not consecrated by the hand of man.

Through the centuries, it has been called the ‘celestial Basilica’.

The last apparition was in 1656 in answer to prayer because of the terrible plague that had hit the area. The local Bishop and his people invoked the help of St Michael and the plague stopped.
