    [37] Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren? [38] But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. [39] For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call. [40] And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.

    [41] They therefore that received his word, were baptized; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls. [42] And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of bread, and in prayers. [43] And fear came upon every soul: many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and there was great fear in all. [44] And all they that believed, were together, and had all things common. [45] Their possessions and goods they sold, and divided them to all, according as every one had need.

    [46] And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and simplicity of heart; [47] Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord increased daily together such as should be saved.

    2. For My Followers who denounce these Messages

    5th July, 2011

    My dearly beloved daughter,

    Today is a special day, for it pleases me to tell you that those whose faith has been strengthened by my messages can be assured that their daily recital of the Divine Mercy is saving souls.

    My children must never forget that prayers, when said with sincerity and from the heart, will always be heard. Prayers are always listened to and any special intentions are fulfilled according to My most Holy Will. Children please continue with your prayers because they will help ease the period of the great chastisement.

    My father is now ready to take over his holy kingdom and commence his reign once again when the new paradise on earth emerges.

    The evil in the world right now has never been so intense.
    Satan has many followers. They, his followers, in many instances are not aware as to how he influences every thought and deed at all times during any one day. If my children could only see the amount of demons present in such men they would be sickened. They possess many of my children, the only visible signs being through their evil deeds. Pray, pray now, my followers, that those poor, lost souls can be saved during the warning.

    Between now and the warning all I ask of you, children, are your prayers and especially the recital of the Divine Mercy.
    My father will save souls if you dedicate yourselves to saying this once a day, preferably at 3 o’clock in the afternoon

    If it is satan who you believe influences these messages then why would he ask you to pray, to seek forgiveness, to receive the Holy Eucharist? Then you will know that this is impossible. The deceiver will influence my followers firstly, to encourage them to deny my word because he knows that it will be their rejection of My most Holy Words of Love that will hurt me most. Reject satan and his wicked ways now. Turn to me.

    3. Mother of Salvation: Think of life as a stage between birth and the New Glorious Kingdom

    29th August, 2014

    …  Those who accept the existence of evil do not believe in God’s Love nor do they accept the existence of the evil one. Only those who manage to overcome evil in all its forms truly understand the power which evil has over people’s words, deeds and actions.  It is only when a soul is disentangled from the influence of evil that he can be set free. True freedom can only be achieved when you accept the Truth. If you do not accept the Word made Flesh, that is my Son, Jesus Christ, then you will never be free.

    Children you must fight evil in all its deceitful forms but it is not easy to identify it clearly. Satan is the king of lies. He is the deceiver who manages to convince the world that he does not exist. He always presents the Truth as being an evil thing and he will convince the weak amongst you that evil can be justified always.  You must never allow yourselves to be deceived, for the Truth was given to the world and is contained in my Father’s Book. Anything, which deviates from the True Word of God, must be avoided. Do not listen to those who tell you that an evil act is a good thing, or that it must be accepted because of the times you are living in.

    The human race has not changed. Sin has not changed. All that has changed is man’s reluctance to accept God as his Creator. ..

    Overview of the Readings:

    In the Bible today, we are reminded of things that are to come. It reminds us of the importance of doing Penance. It mentions “this perverse generation” – (seems very appropriate). The “breaking of bread from house to house” reminds us that in the near future we will be obliged to go ‘underground’ in order to receive the Holy Eucharist. We have to be prepared.

    The reading from the book of Truth emphasizes the importance of prayer – particularly the Chaplet of Divine mercy. Jesus speaks to those who believe these messages are from the evil one. (Good to remember when we are faced with this accusation.) We have to remember that the evil one is very intent on attacking the faith of Jesus’ followers first.

     The second reading from the Book of Truth also focuses on the evil one and the acceptance of evil and sin, which is happening in the church  – the Eucharist, Prayer and the evil of sintoday. Our dearest Mother, alerts and warns us to stay true to teachings of Jesus.

    The readings today tell us of what is important in our Faith – the Eucharist, Prayer and the existence of the evil one and his deceptive ways.

     

Thought for the Day – Monday 28th December

The thought for the day is from Donna, who opens the Bible randomly each day for a point to reflect upon.

Monday 28th December, 2015

The Bible used is the CTS New Catholic Bible 2007.

St. James says in chapter 2:

My brethren, do not hold the faith of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Lord of glory, with partiality. (1)…

Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into courts?
Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which you are called? (6-7)
And
“You believe that there is ONE GOD. You do well.
Even the DEMONS believe and tremble!
But do you WANT to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?” (19-20)

Comment – There is a lot of food for thought here:

  • Bishop Julian Porteous of Hobart, Tasmania (Australia) is being taken to court for handing out a booklet entitled “Don’t mess with Marriage” which was the result of the Aust. Bishops’ Conference outlining what the Catholic church believes about marriage.
  • It was deemed to be discriminatory according to a local Tasmanian law.
  • The name of “Christ” (Christian/s) by which we are called.
  • There is One Godeven the demons believe this. Those who are not Christian do not believe in the same god as our God. Their god is completely different to the Christian God – the one True Trinitarian God.
  • Faith without good works is dead – A declaration of faith  is not enough according to the Bible (as some Christians believe). Good works alone are not enough either! True faith is seen through the good works.

Pilgrimage Part 8 cont.- Eucharistic Adoration and other activities

12th July

Eucharistic Adoration and other Activities

Yesterday, after Mass in the morning, we went back to hotel and ‘veged out’ because we were exhausted from the previous day.

We found out at short notice that Ivan would broadcast his recent message.
We had radios that translated it into various languages – we just had to tune in. What stands out from his message is “Before you can pray really well, you have to pray more often.” After his talk, the parish priest gave a sermon – also with translations. He is also a very humble and holy man. He enlarged on Ivan’s topic from Our Blessed Mother.

In the evening, we went down to the church and went to Confession to one of the many priests there. We went inside the church just as a wedding was ending so we said a Hail Mary for the new couple. We took a picture of the beautiful statue of Our Lady outside.

20150711_212932(0)We went outside because we heard beautiful singing. Around the statue of Our Lady was a crowd of people – maybe a few hundred – singing hymns. There was a man with a trumpet, and a man with a guitar and 2 nuns and 2 priests leading the singing.

We all swayed and waved our arms or held hands. We couldn’t understand the words but we could feel the meaning. Some were to Our Lady and some to Jesus. This was at 9 o’clock at night.

You could feel the love. When it finished, we went over to the large outside area as Adoration was to start shortly. It seemed like just a few hundred people Outside seating empty before Adorationinitially but, within 10 minutes, the place was packed with people. Every seat was full – 2 or 3 times as many as for the Adoration the night before.  There were maybe 4000 people or more.

As before, there was a respectful atmosphere.  Blessings from heaven just pour out onto this place. No-one spoke or moved.  Adoration was from 10pm to 11pm. The format was as the night before: short paragraphs of spoken text in 6 different languages; a short silence; then a chant – also in 6 different languages. This lasted for an hour.

This place is so holy and the people who come here so full of faith.

The monstrance was huge and the Host
as big as a bread and butter plate. A light behind the host illuminated it.

I would not have missed any of this for the world. What a blessing to be here! And to see so much Faith and love.
