“It is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. … The night is past and the day is at hand.”

light in darkness

I love the readings at Mass at this time of year. Today is the beginning of the Church Liturgical Year. Last Sunday we celebrated the end of the Church year – the Last Sunday after Pentecost. Did you take note of the readings?

Gospel: Last Sun after Pent: Matt 24: 13-35

“At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: When you shall see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (he that reads, let him understand:) then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains and he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take anything out of his house and he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat. And woe to them that are with child and that give suck, in those days. But pray that your flight be not in the winter, or on the sabbath: for there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been found from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be: and unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved; but for the sake of the elect, those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say to you: Lo, here is Christ, or there; do not believe him: for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect. Behold I have told it to you beforehand. If therefore they shall say to you: Behold, he is in the desert, go ye not out. Behold He is in the closets, believe it not. For as lightning cometh out of the east, and appeareth even into the west, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be: Wheresoever the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered together. And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be moved and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn; and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty. And He shall send His angels with a trumpet and a loud voice, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them. And from the fig tree learn a parable: when the branch thereof is now tender, and the leaves come forth, you know that summer is nigh. So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that ìt is nigh at the doors. Amen I say to you that this generation shall not pass till all these things be done. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.”

First Sunday of Advent

Introit: Psalm 24:1-3

To Thee have I lifted up my soul: in Thee, O my God, I put my trust, let me not be ashamed: neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on Thee shall be confounded.

Epistle: Romans13:11-14

Brethren, knowing that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. The night is past and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and impurities, not in contention and envy: but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Gospel: Luke 21:25-33

At that time Jesus said to His disciples: There shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea and of the waves: men withering away for fear and expectations of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved. And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great power and majesty. But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand. And He spoke to them a similitude: See the fig tree and all the trees: when they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh. So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand. Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away till all things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My words shall not pass away.

Today is the beginning of the Church Liturgical Year. Last Sunday we celebrated the end of the Church year – the Last Sunday after Pentecost. Did you take note of the readings?

Last week the Gospel reading was Jesus’ prophecy about the times of the end. His words were strong – He wanted to warn us well ahead of how awful these times would be. He uses words such as “abomination of desolation … , standing in the holy place”; “let them flee to the mountains”; “woe to them that are with child”; and “great tribulation, such as hath not been found from the beginning of the world until now”.  He interjects his description to reassure us : “but for the sake of the elect, those days shall be shortened.’ He continues to tell us of false Christs, and false prophets, great signs and wonders, of deception, and fearful details about the sun, the moon and the stars …. The great tribulation… but then he fortifies us again and tells us how it will end :

“And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great power and majesty. But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand”

This reading is so important that it is repeated each year, to remind us of what is to come.

Are we taking any notice? Does this Gospel give us direction and strength and hope? It is meant to fortify us ad prepare us. Are we ready to listen?

Today is the beginning of the church year. We are preparing for the coming of our Saviour.

The story is repeated in Luke’s Gospel, but not on quite as much detail. The signs of the sun, moon and stars are again mentioned.  

“And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great power and majesty. But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.”

This reading focuses not on the details -it  is more expectation, We are reminded about the fig tree and the final message to us –

“So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.”

Jesus came the first time to save us. The Church has been reminding us what to expect. Now He comes again to save His children – His people. After a tribulation so great “such as hath not been found from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be”, St Luke reminds us about the fig tree and that “summer is nigh” – He tells us

“ So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.”

For 2000 years we have been praying the prayer that Jesus taught us “…Thy Kingdom come…”. Advent is about Hope and Expectation.

We need to be reminded about the trials and to be ready. But we are also reminded to place out Trust in our loving God and Saviour, “Who will come again” to claim us as His Own.

In these days of Revelation – of tribulation, of Apostasy, of war and famine, of the “abomination of desolation”, of the “mark of the beast”- will we be ready? Will  we recognize evil when it rears its ugly head? Will we be ready to fight for Christ and His Church and His Teachings? Are our ears and our hearts open to Christ and his Teachings?

Tonight’s Reading

The Lord supplies my daily bible reading and tonight, being Easter, when I opened and read Psalm 114, as it is numbered in my bible, ( some versions numbered differently) the connection was very obvious; strong & powerful. The strength of the connection reminded me of Jesus presence: loving and strong. In fact, I felt He was there.

(The CTS new Catholic Bible 2007)

Psalm 114 (Hebrew psalm 116a) Verses 1-9

Rescue me from Death

Alleluia!!

I love the Lord for he has heard the cry of my appeal; for he turned his ear to me in the day when I called him.

They surrounded me, the snares of the death, with the anguish of the tomb. They caught me, sorrow and distress.  I called on the Lord’s name. Oh Lord my God deliver me!

How gracious is the Lord and just! Our God has compassion! The Lord protects the simple hearts. I was helpless so he saved me.

Turn back, my soul, to your rest for the Lord has been good; he has kept my soul from death (my eyes from tears) and my feet from stumbling.

I will  walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the Living.

How I feel about Jesus

Thank you, Lord. I love you, Lord.

MDM Messages- Jesus to Mankind CP Meeting Thursday, 16th July, 2015.

The following words from God were opened upon by different volunteers and read aloud at the conclusion of our prayer group meeting:

Tobias 6

By the angel’s advice young Tobias taketh hold on a fish that assaulteth him. Reserveth the heart, the gall, and the liver for medicines. They lodge at the house of Raguel, whose daughter Sara, Tobias is to marry; she had before been married to seven husbands, who were all slain by a devil.

[1] And Tobias went forward, and the dog followed him, and he lodged the first night by the river of Tigris. [2] And he went out to wash his feet, and behold a monstrous fish came up to devour him. [3] And Tobias being afraid of him, cried out with a loud voice, saying: Sir, he cometh upon me. [4] And the angel said to him: Take him by the gill, and draw him to thee. And when he had done so, he drew him out upon the land, and he began to pant before his feet. [5] Then the angel said to him: Take out the entrails of the fish, and lay up his heart, and his gall, and his liver for thee: for these are necessary for useful medicines.

[6] And when he had done so, he roasted the flesh thereof, and they took it with them in the way: the rest they salted as much as might serve them, till they came to Rages the city of the Medes. [7] Then Tobias asked the angel, and said to him: I beseech thee, brother Azarias, tell me what remedies are these things good for, which thou hast bid me keep of the fish? [8] And the angel, answering, said to him: If thou put a little piece of its heart upon coals, the smoke thereof driveth away all kind of devils, either from man or from woman, so that they come no more to them. [9] And the gall is good for anointing the eyes, in which there is a white speck, and they shall be cured. [10] And Tobias said to him: Where wilt thou that we lodge?

[8] Its heart: The liver (ver. 19) God was pleased to give these things a virtue against those proud spirits, to make them, who affected to be like the Most High, subject to such mean corporeal creatures as instruments of his power.

[11] And the angel answering, said: Here is one whose name is Raguel, a near kinsman of thy tribe, and he hath a daughter named Sara, but he hath no son nor any other daughter beside her. [12] All his substance is due to thee, and thou must take her to wife. [13] Ask her therefore of her father, and he will give her thee to wife. [14] Then Tobias answered, and said: I hear that she hath been given to seven husbands, and they all died: moreover I have heard, that a devil killed them. [15] Now I am afraid, lest the same thing should happen to me also: and whereas I am the only child of my parents, I should bring down their old age with sorrow to hell.

[15] Hell: That is, to the place where the souls of the good were kept before the coming of Christ.

[16] Then the angel Raphael said to him: Hear me, and I will shew thee who they are, over whom the devil can prevail. [17] For they who in such manner receive matrimony, as to shut out God from themselves, and from their mind, and to give themselves to their lust, as the horse and mule, which have not understanding, over them the devil hath power. [18] But thou when thou shalt take her, go into the chamber, and for three days keep thyself continent from her, and give thyself to nothing else but to prayers with her. [19] And on that night lay the liver of the fish on the fire, and the devil shall be driven away. [20] But the second night thou shalt be admitted into the society of the holy Patriarchs.

[21] And the third night thou shalt obtain a blessing that sound children may be born of you. [22] And when the third night is past, thou shalt take the virgin with the fear of the Lord, moved rather for love of children than for lust, that in the seed of Abraham thou mayst obtain a blessing in children.

God the Father: I will wipe out their false churches, their wicked cults, their false idols, their cities and their nations

Sunday, 15 July 2012 @ 17:45
Message 488
(received during adoration of the Holy Eucharist)
My dearest daughter it is difficult for My children to remain free of sin because of the curse inflicted upon them by the hand of the serpent.
Never do I expect My children to be completely free of sin at all times for this is impossible.
It is important that anyone who knows the teachings of My Son’s Church on Earth to seek repentance for your sins as often as possible.
Through repentance it will be easier to remain in a state of grace and this will create a barrier to further temptation.
My children you are now about to witness great everlasting changes in the world.
They will happen after The Warning takes place.
While many will ignore these messages from Heaven, it is important for those who accept them as the word of God to prepare.
You are the link in my armour against the enemy and through your faith I will lift you up and protect you against the persecution.
It will be your love for My Son, Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the universe, that I will be able to salvage those children who cannot abide the light of God.
Your consecration of love, suffering and prayers will be their saving grace from the fires of Hell.
Be not afraid for yourselves but for those who not only cannot see, but who refuse to see, the times in which you are living today.
The preparations are complete and the time is ripe for the changes to commence for I will not allow the beast to steal souls.
This intervention, promised to mankind for so long will take place very soon and then the battle will begin to save My children.
Do not fear my hand for, when it falls, it will be used to punish those who are trying to destroy My children.
I will stop them from deceiving souls.
I will stop them from their murderous intent and I will wipe out their false Churches, their wicked cults, their false idols, their cities and their nations if they continue to reject the hand that feeds them.
They have been warned.
You, my beloved children will help My Son to save them.
Never fear because those with the seal of the living God are not only protected but are given the graces to defend the word of God so that as many souls as possible will be given the gift of life.
Your beloved Father
God the Most High

You are living in the time when many of God’s children have become pagans

Friday, 22 February 2013 @ 23:00
Message 712
My dearly beloved daughter, you are living in the time when many of God’s children have become pagans.
Even those born as Jews and Christians have now resorted to different kinds of idolatry, as foretold.
How it offends me to witness the respect, which God’s children hold in their hearts for self-gratification and a belief in false Gods, which exist only in their minds.
The surges of new age spiritualism and a passion for all things, which relate to the calming of the mind, amount to one thing.
These people are in darkness because they refuse to acknowledge me, Jesus Christ.
By blocking out the light of God, deliberately, they leave themselves open to the darkness of the spirit of evil.
Satan and his demons prey on such souls and cause, within them, a terrible stark emptiness, which no matter what new age spiritual remedies they seek, they will never find comfort, for this is not the natural habitat into which they were born.
The paganism which has gripped humanity at this time is at its highest since before the time I, Jesus Christ, was born on Earth.
Although the world was given the truth of the existence of God, and even though I, through My Death on the cross, saved them from damnation, they still turn their backs.
Self-obsession, adulation and a love of worldly excesses, is the scourge of mankind and it comes from a desperate sense of unease, disquiet and barrenness.
Idolatry – a love of famous people, false Gods and the display of pagan objects – bring a cloud of darkness upon all those who are passionate about such pursuits.
Christians suffer ridicule by the hands of such people, but through their suffering and prayers, they can help to save their fellow human beings from the fires of Hell.
When you flirt with these false idols, you play with the demons from Hell, sent to drag you into the abyss for eternity.
Never believe that such pagan practices are harmless, because they are not.
When you spend your time and your mind in such distractions you shut yourself away from God and eternal life.
Wake up to the truth.
I am the truth.
There is no other way to eternal happiness, only through I, Jesus Christ, the Son of Man.
I come now to reveal the truth, so that I can save you again and bring you eternal life by helping you to salvage your souls.
Your Jesus
(* Editor’s note: Emphasis is mine as relates to the following: The reading above was a timely confirmation, as was the Chapter of Tobit. A young woman we know had recently been to see a ‘bible-quoting’ medium/physic who involved her in New Age practices. A few weeks later, she came down with a debilitating mental illness with schizophrenia-like symptoms.  I believed it was a spiritual manifestation. We are praying for her delivery, healing and for her whole family to come to know God .)
