Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I am Lord of the Universe – Creator of this and every present moment. I choose these times and this format to draw the heart of the world back into the state of reality. Each soul has the responsibility of choosing good over evil. Not to do so results in sin. This neglect of discernment has drawn the heart of the world off the path that leads to My Heart – the Path of Righteousness.”

“If you only look at a couple of ways this is most evident, consider politics and entertainment. Confusion rules the political scene. Loose morals have taken over most forms of entertainment. All of this is supported by mass media. Do not wonder then, that My Words to you are challenged. Keep your focus on My Commandments which safeguard the righteousness in your heart. Seek My Intercession against every attack.”

Read 2 Peter 2:21-22+

For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. It has happened to them according to the true proverb, the dog turns back to his own vomit, and the sow is washed only to wallow in the mire.

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I am the Father of all Ages. Today, I point out to you that unforgiveness brings with it a darkness of the spirit. When the soul decides to forgive everyone, his heart is flooded with the light of the Truth. Then there is no space between his heart and Mine. I listen to his every petition – be it spoken or unspoken. I repair relationships in his life. I change circumstances to his advantage.”

“If the soul recalls any moment from the past that involved unforgiveness, he must forgive all over again. Holding a grudge is always from Satan and an acceptance of his darkness. There are many in Purgatory today who nurtured grudges during their lifetime. They were given the grace to forgive, but did not accept it. Imitate Divine Mercy which forgives over and over, often for the same wrongs.”

Read 2 Timothy 2:24-26+

And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kindly to every one, an apt teacher, forbearing, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant that they will repent and come to know the Truth, and they may escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by Him to do His Will.

32nd Anniversary of Mary, Protectress of the Faith – Message from God the Father

32nd Anniversary of Mary, Protectress of the Faith

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I am the Eternal Now, Creator of time and space. In Me is All Truth – every solution. This is the day designated as the Feast of Mary, Protectress of the Faith. With lack of gratitude man received this grace,* even though the graces attendant to this title are miraculous. This title was given at a time when the Tradition of Faith was at great risk and today, it continues and imperils the Truth. Just calling upon the Protectress sends Satan retreating. His attacks are weakened and his evil revealed.”

“I suffered greatly during My Son’s Passion so that this title could be revealed to mankind. Imagine My chagrin when it was not supported by the very ones who needed it the most – My Church.”

“These days, Faith is regarded as a take or leave choice – something like life in the womb. The precious treasure of all ages – the Tradition of Faith – is not viewed as something that needs or is worthy of special protection. Those who do not treasure their Faith are already in Satan’s grasp. You can readily see this stands for a great portion of the heart of the world.”

“Today, I ask clergy and religious to rely upon the Protectress of the Faith to safeguard the treasure of their vocations which are so greatly under attack. Ask for the grace to recognize attacks against your faith. All of the ones who support this Ministry** should do so as well.”

* In March 1988, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland through its “expert theologian”, summarily dismissed Our Lady’s request in 1987 for the title ‘Mary, Protectress of the Faith’ stating that there already were too many devotions to Blessed Mother and the saints.
** The ecumenical Ministry of Holy and Divine Love at Maranatha Spring and Shrine.

Read Ephesians 6:10-20+

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace; above all taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that utterance may be given me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

“I am Creator of all good. I transcend time and space to speak to you. In the world, there are many problems, circumstances and situations. Most of these begin in time and end in time. Man has become dependent upon his own efforts and the efforts of others in dealing with day-to-day problems. As Creator and Father, I desire mankind learn to depend upon Me. My Omnipotence is the solution. When others come to man’s rescue, it is because I have sent them. When circumstances meld together to form a solution, it is by My Will it happens. I always have the perfect plan even in certain failure. Problems test the virtues of patience and perseverance. You must practice a virtue in order to be stronger in it.”

Read 1 Thessalonians: 5:18+

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Holy Family Refuge – God the Father – “What you and your friend just talked about is true and We are all here with you as you write”

Holy Family Refuge Messages
https://www.childrenoftherenewal.com/holyfamilyrefuge

January 10, 2018 — The Most Holy Trinity

My beloved son, this is God the Father of Heaven and earth. What you and your friend just talked about is true and We are all here with you as you write (the Trinity, Mary, St. Joseph, and Mary’s parents, Sts. Joachim and Anne). Mary conceived Jesus through the Power of the Holy Spirit, and Her mother, St. Anne, conceived Mary through the Power of the Holy Spirit to be the grandmother of My Son, Jesus.

One more step to look at is St. Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist who was the forerunner of Jesus Christ. She also conceived through the Power of the Holy Spirit since John the Baptist had an important job like Mary and St. Anne. St. John was sent from Heaven to tell of the coming of My Son, Jesus, and to baptize Him.

There were also others that were conceived through the Power of the Holy Spirit back through the centuries: Adam, Eve, Noah, and Moses. Adam was created from the dust of the earth through the Power of the Holy Spirit and Eve was created from Adam’s rib through the Power of the Holy Spirit.

These are things that many people in the past and present have thought about but have not been confirmed in any way. My son, do not doubt about what I am telling you. It is from God the Father.

The new picture that I want you to draw and have painted is a picture of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph with St. Anne and St. Joachim, along with the Holy Trinity—God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The love between the Father and the Son created the Holy Spirit, just like mothers and fathers on earth, through the Power of the Holy Spirit, help create all of God’s little children in the image of Christ to love and serve Me. Love, God the Father of Heaven and earth.

By a soul

(Feast of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, January 15, 2018)

In 2003, I returned to Holy Mother Church through a powerful conversion experience made possible by Our Blessed Mother. And during that time, I was asking for help from two great Saints whom I admired to overcome several sinful habits and tendencies that I had. Well, when a relative of mine heard about this, she told me, “oh, no, you can only pray to one Saint at a time.” And when she said this to me, it made me very concerned, as I thought that I had offended the Saints that I was invoking. However, I did not understand why if we could pray to all Saints through prayers like the Litany of the Saints, we were limited to only praying to the Blessed Mother or one Saint at a time for a particular need. I became very confused about this for awhile. Years later, I know better.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I am going to say something that might sound “radical” to your ears, but this truth will give you much freedom in knowing. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, unless you are praying to a particularly holy person for a miracle in order to have them canonized, all people should be praying to multiple Saints for intercessory help. You are free to ask as many Saints in prayer for help and you are not limited to solely the Blessed Mother or one Patron Saint. No, you are not offending any Saint by asking for multiple intercessors and no, you are not limiting somehow God’s Divine Power in granting your petition by asking more than one Saint for help.

Currently, there are four Church-recognized Patron Saints for Lost (Impossible) Causes. They are St. Jude Thaddeus, St. Rita, St. Philomena, and St. Gregory the Wonderworker. So, if you have an impossible situation and thought you could only invoke St. Jude for help, I am here with good news for you. Yes, you can pray to all four Patron Saints at the same time and no, you are not limiting God’s Mercy and His Grace towards you and your cause. And yes, you can add additional Saints, too, for help. It will only benefit you to do so!

Do not think that you can ask the intercessory help of everyone you know on earth and yet, you are limited to one Saint in Heaven! Storm Heaven, friends, storm Heaven for your cause!

There is only one person who does not want you to ask any Saints for help and well, he is mean, ugly, and his opinion does not count! Storm Heaven, friends!

Heaven is all about teamwork when it comes to prayer. “Anne,” the visionary of Direction For Our Times, Jesus Christ, The Returning King (http://www.directionforourtimes.com), was privileged to be granted several visits to Heaven by Our Lord. And she recorded these visits in a few of her books, which I have read and learned much from. During one experience, Anne saw St. Clare of Assisi giving a lecture to a group of fellow Franciscans. And when Anne saw this large group, she suddenly felt unworthy as a child of God being there. Well, St. Clare then stopped her lecture and asked that everyone gather around and pray for Anne and her mission. And Anne was lifted up in prayer and felt much better by the experience.

I am not sure if it was St. Clare of Assisi or another heavenly soul who revealed this fact, but in Heaven, whenever a petition is coming from earth, the Saints will ask other Saints and heavenly souls for help in praying for the petition. For example, if a Saint is being asked to help to overcome a sin by someone on earth, that Saint will ask other heavenly souls who had faced that similar challenge on earth, because they know intimately about the struggle over that sin. So, the Saints never pray solely by themselves for any petition. They take their tasks seriously and always ask for intercessory prayer from other heavenly souls, like St. Clare did for Anne’s discomfort. They are always seeking the best outcome for every person’s petition, which involves asking others for help, too.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, if a Patron Saint, like St. Clare of Assisi is not afraid of asking for help from other heavenly souls, neither should we be afraid of asking as many Saints as possible to help us with our individual needs. The Communion of Saints is all about teamwork, both on earth and in Heaven. These are higher truths.

I will tell you all a story. One time, I was looking for a prayer group to belong to. However, I was having difficulty, because all of my parish prayer groups met during the daytime and I worked full-time, so I could never attend. Then, I tried to form my own prayer group, but it never worked out. Saddened about this situation for a longtime, suddenly, I had an inspirational thought. I thought to myself, well, if I cannot find a prayer group to belong to on earth, I will form my own prayer group in Heaven. So, that is what I did. So, I asked in prayer, five Saints that I felt particularly close to, to be my Patron prayer group. And this made me quite happy finally having a prayer group that I could belong to, which I often asked for their help.

Now, something happens when you ask Saints in Heaven to be your Patron prayer group. Other Saints find out about it and want to join, too! The thing is, as I would read and learn more about various Saints, I kept “falling in love” with their stories. Then, I would develop a fondness for him or her and would ask the Saint to be a member of my Patron prayer group.

Well, this fondness of mine kept happening, until finally, I started to lose track of all their names! (Yes, I never thought of writing them down). Then, one day, the Holy Spirit made me realize that everyone wanted to join my Patron prayer group. So, I got down on my knees and asked every Saint—both known and unknown—in Heaven to be my Patron Saint, to which this petition was answered as a resounding “yes” by everyone.

From this experience, I realized that there is no limit to love. God just kept expanding my heart with more and more love until I was “carrying” all the love for all the Saints. I was so shocked—I went from having no prayer group on earth to having all of Heaven as my Patron Saints. God Is Truly Amazing.

Everybody needs to have their own Patron prayer group—their own cheer-leading group in Heaven. Several Saints that they can regularly go to and ask for daily help. I cannot promise you that you will end up with all of Heaven belonging to your prayer group, but I do recommend that you write down their names so you do not lost track of them! (Or, you will become embarrassed like me forgetting people).

Another higher truth that people should know is that it is alright to pray to other people’s guardian angels. Many people, if they remember, pray to their guardian angel for help. But, very few people know that you can pray to the guardian angel of others if you feel it is needed. For example, many people pray to God and the Blessed Mother for the conversion of their children and family members. People should include the guardian angels of their children and family members, too, in their petitions. Whenever I am praying generally for the world—for example, the conversion of the heart of the world, I always include the Blessed Mother and all the guardian angels of the world in my prayers. The guardian angels get invoked so rarely by people, yet, they are the most powerful of intercessors for their charges, who they are totally devoted to. So, I suggest that whenever you pray for someone, you should include their guardian angel on the petition. It only helps.

I do not recall if I learned this fact from my study of the heavenly messages at Holy Love Ministries (http://www.holylove.org), or by study of other visionaries’ messages, etc., but I will reveal another higher truth that most people do not realize. The Blessed Mother is involved with every prayer petition that comes to Heaven. Whether the prayer petition comes via intercession of a Saint or the person is praying directly to Jesus, the Blessed Mother is always involved in every prayer and sacrifice.

So, for many protestant Christians, they will be very surprised to learn that the Blessed Mother is always praying with them when they thought they were only conversing with Our Lord. And many Catholic Christians will be surprised to know that when they thought they were only praying to St. Jude or St. Philomena, etc., they were also praying to the Blessed Mother every time.

The fact is Our Blessed Mother is Our Advocate before Our Heavenly Father. Every prayer petition is passed through the Immaculate Heart of Our Blessed Mother for blessing before it is placed on the Altar of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord. Then, Jesus presents the petition before Our Heavenly Father and Papa then converts the prayer into heavenly grace. This grace then returns through the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord passing through the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Mother, Who then as Our Mediatrix of All Grace, dispenses the grace to the designated recipient of the prayer petition and sacrifice. And if a Saint was an original intercessor of the petition, the grace will also pass through the heart of the named Saint for blessing before reaching earth.

Yes, the Blessed Mother has Her Hand in every prayer petition. It is through the Immaculate Heart that every prayer petition is refined and enhanced in power before it goes before God’s Heart. Now, oftentimes, people will pray for things that are not good for them or not in keeping with the Divine Will or Divine Plan. That is alright, as the prayer petition gets “purified” and “perfected” in the Immaculate Heart of Our Blessed Mother. Our Lady will add her “motherly touch” to every prayer petition, making it acceptable to God. So, no prayer is ever wasted by Heaven. God will always send grace back into the world, although the prayer petition may not be answered in the way that the person originally asked for.

Now, what do I mean by every prayer gets “enhanced in power” in the Immaculate Heart? The fact is not every prayer and sacrifice merits the same amount of grace. Every prayer and sacrifice is carried by angels to Heaven on the wings of hope, faith and holy love wrapped in the blanket of trust—all dependent on the holiness of the person who prays the petition along with earthly intercessors. Then, in the Immaculate Heart, Our Lady matches the petition’s depth of hope, faith, holy love, and trust, with Her “motherly touch” before it presented to Our Heavenly Father for His Gift of Grace.

However, some prayer petitions and sacrifices are deeply steeped in hope, faith, holy love, and trust—being very meritorious in the Eyes of God. Our Lady is able to not only simply match the holiness of the petition, but is also able to magnify its power. The depth of hope, faith, holy love, and trust then becomes a multiplying factor, resulting in grace being multiplied many times over. That is why Our Lord has said a few times at Holy Love Ministries that one “Hail Mary” prayer “recited with a loving heart… brings with it the power to convert a soul, to stop a war, to deliver a soul from purgatory, even to change the future of the world.” That is why Our Lord has said that the best prayer petition are not simply ones that receive grace, but actually “win” graces for others.

During the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election season, God and Our Lady revealed many important heavenly realities and higher truths through messages given at Holy Family Refuge (https://www.childrenoftherenewal.com/holyfamilyrefuge). Jesus revealed that Donald Trump was able to win the U.S. Presidency, because Our Lord was able to multiply the graces from prayers many times over on the day of the election. Jesus also revealed that He has been “storing up” graces for our particular generation who will live through the Great Tribulation and reign of the antichrist.

That is why Saints such as Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres (Our Lady of Good Success), Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, St. Anne Catherine Emmerich, St. Padre Pio, and others, were given prophetic visions of our particular time and were asked by Our Lord if they would offer up their prayers and sufferings for our generation. God so loved His beloved children of this “lost generation” that He has been storing up graces throughout the centuries for this particular time when graces would be in such a huge deficit.

Our Lady also revealed some interesting facts at Holy Family Refuge and Locutions To The World. Unlike God Who saves up graces wisely using them when needed, satan runs on nearly bankrupt powers. As soon as satan receives demonic powers from sin, he spends it. And because of his pride, he often makes foolish mistakes.

Recently, at Holy Love Ministries, God the Father said, “I can fill the atmosphere with My Grace, but man must choose to respond wisely to it.” And in another message, God the Father said, “satan attacks hearts as he knows hearts are his last battleground.” Both these statements are true. Let me explain.

Grace is very similar in behavior to light, which acts both as a particle and a wave. The atmosphere (and indeed the entire universe) is filled with God and His Presence found in His Grace. This is similar to how light fills the atmosphere and the universe. Also, similar to how one cannot observe a light beam directly, but a person can see the effect of the light through visible colors of objects surrounding them; likewise, with grace, one cannot observe it directly, but we can see its effects all-around us with all of Creation responding positively to God’s Grace.

As Mediatrix of All Grace, the Hands of the Blessed Mother act as a prism refracting the grace from Our Heavenly Father and surrounding us into the particular spiritual helps needed by the recipient. Then, like a funnel, the “beams of grace” are further amplified by intercessor Saints before they are finally received by the recipient on earth. Grace is first received on hearts that are open and willing to be blessed. Grace is also received upon the person’s body if they need healing and the surrounding environment. It is all dependent on the requests in the prayer petition on how grace will manifest in the person’s life according to the Divine Will.

Now, as I indicated, grace is always received first in a person’s (spiritual) heart. That is why satan’s last and first battleground is a person’s heart. If he can inspire evil at its inception—a person’s heart—then he knows that he can win the battle for the person’s soul. satan is constantly working to “choke” out the grace that God and Our Lady are constantly flooding hearts with from Heaven. That is why it is so important for people to pray constantly and consistently for the salvation of those whom they care about and love, as well as generally, for all living souls. It enables God and Our Lady to send more grace to compensate, as well as special graces to counter-attack satan, in every present moment. It is a constant battle over each heart that Heaven and hell are waging every moment over the salvation of souls.

And so, having revealed all these higher truths, how pleasing it must be to Jesus and Our Heavenly Father if we acknowledge Our Blessed Mother’s Great Role in every one of our prayers. Just as Jesus in His Great Humility becomes Our Prisoner of Love in the Tabernacle 24-hours a day as simple bread and wine; Our Blessed Mother is so humble doing so much out of love for Her children who often fail to simply acknowledge Her help in their prayers. Twin Loves of Profound Humility.

Lord, have Mercy on me, a sinner!

Many blessings to everyone who reads this commentary! May you be blessed with a deeper love of God, Our Blessed Mother, the Angels and Saints!

I love you.

“I have come – Jesus, the Word born Incarnate.”

“I wish to reveal to you the depth of the United Hearts Revelation. As My Mother’s Heart is the Refuge of Holy Love, so My Own Sacred Heart is the Kingdom of Divine Love. Thus, the United Hearts represent both Refuge and Kingdom – security in tribulation and victory over evil. We are united. We share everything. She is always in Me. I am always in Her – spiritually and emotionally.”

“Therefore, see that when you petition the Heart of My Blessed Mother, the petition goes into My Heart as well. Further, when you pray directly to Me, She is praying for you also. When My Mother’s Heart is sorrowing, I too sorrow. When the Immaculate Heart holds joy, I too am joyful. We share the same emotions. While I am Godhead present in the tabernacles of the world, My Mother stands beside the tabernacle consoling Me. While She draws souls into the confessional, I am in the confessional waiting to forgive. Thus, We have always shared.”

April 24, 1999

“I have come to you today as your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“I wish today to teach you about prayer. Prayer is a refuge or weapon and a means of unification – creature to Creator. The more the soul surrenders his own will to the Will of God, the deeper his union through prayer.”

“Surrender then your plans, your choices, your desires. No good comes to you except through God. In this surrender you are engaging all the virtues – faith, hope, love, humility, simplicity, meekness, trust.”

“Prayer is communication with God, either in the heart, on the lips, or through any action that is surrendered to the Divine Will.”

“My Mother prays with you when you pray the Rosary. Her Heart is a channel through which your prayers ascend to Heaven and grace passes back down to you. Her Heart is a connection then to God and God’s grace, just as you would connect an electric light to currents.”

“God receives the sacrifice of prayer and uses it as a sword against evil. He changes the prayer into grace that overcomes evil in hearts. Then see, it is Satan that tries to keep you from praying. It is Satan who embattles your heart and tries to keep you from surrendering your will so that you can pray.”

“No matter your course of action in any event, everything depends on God. Trust this. The soul that trusts only in himself is lost.”

“Think of prayer as a sunbeam. Its ray stretches down from Heaven. It nourishes the lilies and flowers. It royally clothes them in light. Thus arrayed, they bloom and their beauty gives glory to God. The soul that surrenders to prayer much, also becomes beautiful in God’s eyes and gives glory to God.”

“I have told you, My confidante, that prayer is a surrender and a sacrifice. But the soul must also accept the way prayers are answered. The little flower receives what it needs to be nourished and grow. The soul, through prayer, receives what it needs for salvation. In humility, he must accept God’s Will. If the Father knows what the little flower needs, does he not know your needs as well? Accept what He sends you in humility and gratefulness, like the little flower dancing in the sunlight.”

“I am pleased with any prayer. Most of all I am pleased with sincere prayer from the heart. This kind of prayer changes people and events. I, your Jesus, love the prayer of the Mass the most. Then I love the Rosary.”

“Follow Me in prayer. I will lead you.”

July 19, 1999

“Dearest child, I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“I have come to help you understand the value of the present moment. I do not ask of you heroic deeds and pious acts in each and every present moment as a means of salvation. I do ask your surrender to the law of love. This is the way of reconciliation with your Creator. Mankind has lost sight of this truth. I have come today to renew every heart in a commitment to Holy Love.”

“Take for instance one Hail Mary. If it is recited with a loving heart it brings with it the power to convert a soul, to stop a war, to deliver a soul from purgatory, even to change the future of the world. See then that the love in your heart when you pray determines the power of the prayer.”

“Suppose you were to make a great sacrifice but with much tepidity. I would honor a small, hidden sacrifice done with much Holy Love so much more!”

“If you were to surrender to Me everything you own, but did so begrudgingly or with much flamboyance and show, I would not honor such a sacrifice as much as one Hail Mary offered in the quiet of your heart with much love.”

“Do not lose sight of this truth. Do not be confounded by how much you give Me, but always give with love. This is the key to accomplishing much good and to staying within the Divine Will of My Father. Make it known.”

October 11, 2007

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“Today I tell you, it is sacrificial love that wins the conversion of souls. When you sacrifice with a loving heart for the good of another, I am able to reach out with strength and power which you have earned for that soul through sacrificial love.”

“Love must be at the heart of all prayer, all good works, all sacrifice; the deeper the love, the more meritorious the action. I desire all people realize this so as to strengthen My army against evil.”

By a soul
(Feast of the Martyrs of Ephesus, January 12, 2018)

Recently, I wrote a short commentary about the benefits of drinking holy water as a healing medicinal, and I realized that I made some statements that might be controversial to some people (see: https://maryrefugeofholylove.com/2018/01/10/commentary-drinking-holy-water-as-a-healing-medicinal/ ). And so, I want to address some things that I said, and then, speak about the larger issue of holiness, especially, of priests.

Now, firstly, many people believe that there is no difference between blessing oneself with holy water and actually drinking holy water. After all, the Holy Spirit is still acting upon the person, so they believe that the blessing is the same, whether it is internally or externally received, and that it depends on the faith of the recipient whether they will be helped or not. So, it is pointless to drink holy water.

Well, I speak directly from personal experience from actually drinking holy water as a medicinal as well as from my family using it as regular treatment for illness. There can be a huge difference between simply blessing oneself or blessing a wound with holy water and actually drinking the holy water coupled with prayer. I have seen immediate positive effects in both my family and my pets, as I revealed in my other commentary, from drinking the holy water.

Also, drinking holy water makes a huge difference if you are suffering from a demonic sickness or especially, demonic possession. I do not even know if exorcists know this or not, but if a priest is uncertain whether a person is possessed, using holy water or Lourdes water can be used as a simple test. Either the reaction will be immediate or may occur a few hours later, but the devil within the person WILL react to the ingested holy water. Trust me, I am speaking from very personal experience. And the more holy water ingested, the more violent the reaction in the person, so this test must be done with care.

satan does not want the drinking of holy water to become widespread in its use. Why? Well, in the Book of Truth (Maria Divine Mercy), Our Lord has said many times that many people are suffering from demonic possession and demonic sicknesses, even though, it may not look apparent to others, etc.

If people start drinking holy water or miraculous spring waters on a widespread basis, many instances of demonic possession would start getting properly diagnosed and people would start getting healed from physical and mental illnesses that are either demonic in origin or whose severity of symptoms have been “enhanced” by demonic powers. In my special commentary, “Exposing Satan’s Evil Agenda – Part One – The Antichrist,” I actually touched upon the fact that the fallen angels (devils) have the ability to manipulate living matter, which includes both imparting spiritual sicknesses on people, as well as making existing illnesses and physical ailments several times worse, etc. (See: https://maryrefugeofholylove.com/exposing-satans-evil-agenda-part-one-the-antichrist-by-a-soul/ )

satan does not want anyone to be healed!! his trademark is suffering!!

So, if a person–or even a priest–says there is no difference between blessing oneself and actually drinking holy water, I want people to recognize that the person probably stating that false fact likely has no experience in how drinking regularly holy water coupled with faith can improve someone’s situation. Again, as I stated in my prior commentary, I cannot promise a cure or complete healing from solely drinking holy water, but my family has greatly benefited from its regular use in all kinds of illnesses–physical, mental, and spiritual.

Now, I want to turn to the greater and more important reason for this commentary–the holiness of priests. In my previous commentary about using holy water as a medicinal, I said something very important that all people, especially, priests, need to understand. I said that the holier the priest, the more effective the blessing on the holy water.

Perhaps many people missed what I said on first blush, but that statement I made is pretty huge and yes, can be controversial to many people, especially, priests. Because many people, including–I will dare say, the majority of priests, believe that “a blessing is a blessing” and that their personal priestly holiness does not matter on the efficacy of a blessing.

I am sorry, but that mentality is wrong–very wrong. And it is because of that mentality why the priesthood is in trouble. The faith and holiness of a priest DOES COUNT. Not only do bad priests set a poor example to others–as everybody knows–bad priests also lose graces for their flock due to their poor behavior!!

Sometimes, I will approach a priest after Mass with items to be blessed and I will get a very “sloppy” blessing. By “sloppy” blessing, I mean something like where the priest will barely look at me or the items, say like four or five words, and wave their hand in the air in a nonchalant sign of the cross, etc. I notice that this tends to happen more with parish priests than other types of priests, because they become so preoccupied with trying to greet everyone, they forget their priestly duties come first!

Well, I have two responses to a “sloppy” blessing–one, for the recipient of the blessing, and two, for the priest who gives it.

One, for the recipient of a “sloppy” blessing, you deserve a proper blessing with the proper words said with care by a priest. If you can go to another priest, obtain another blessing. Most people do not know this fact, but items (and people) can be blessed multiple times–there is no limit to the generosity of God and His grace.

Many years ago, I was living in an apartment and I was suffering terribly from satan. And so, my family invited a Franciscan priest to come to my apartment to bless the dwelling. And this nice priest did everything required–praying with my family over each room, sprinkling holy water, etc., and so, the apartment got blessed. Then afterwards, I approached him and asked if he could bless my Holy Bible, and this nice priest said, “oh, no, it already got blessed,” and I was so disappointed, simply accepting the fact.

Years later, I know better. My dear recipient of the “sloppy” blessing, you deserve a properly worded blessing for your Holy Bible, your rosary, your miraculous medal, your crucifix, etc. Never accept a “sloppy” blessing and never accept that items can only be blessed “once” and no more. A priest that tells you that is limiting the generosity of the Infinite God!

And my second comment directed to priests who give “sloppy” blessings is this… You do have pockets in your clothing, no? Every priest should be carrying on themselves a small book of commonly-used priestly prayers! That small book should be in your hands ready for use after every Mass, if you do not have your prayers memorized! And imagine, if you had a small bottle of holy water in your pocket–what a difference that would make if you could anoint people, too!

Sadly, I think that there might be too many shallow pockets among our priests!

Now, why get the item re-blessed? Why not accept the “sloppy” blessing and move on? Well, as I stated earlier, the faith of a priest has direct bearing on the efficacy of their blessings and their prayers. The holier the priest, the more powerful their works. If the faith of a priest is weak, their blessings and prayers will be weaker in grace, and that is really a disservice for their flock.

If I am using holy water as a medicinal, the blessing should be as strong as it can be from the priest. Otherwise, the faith of the recipient of the holy water will need to be even more stronger to compensate where the blessing is lacking in power from the priest. That is not right. Grace should not be so hard to come by.

Many priests do not accept that their own personal holiness has any bearing on their service. And yet, I think that many priests would accept the premise that to be an exorcist, a priest needs to be holy and very faith-filled with much spiritual preparation beforehand any exorcism, etc.

Why (generally) do priests accept that holiness matters only when dealing directly with the devil? My dear father priests, personal holiness matters all the time!!

Holy Scripture, Acts, Chapter 5, Verse 15

“Thus they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or another of them.”

Acts 5:15 is often cited as a supporting verse for why the Catholic Church believes in the use of holy relics by the faithful for healing and blessing. However, did the famous stigmatic priest, St. Padre Pio’s relics suddenly become holy upon his death? No, it was because Padre Pio grew in holiness throughout his life so that things he touched and wore, and even his very self, were blessed in great healing grace. Likewise, in Acts 5:15, St. Peter was still alive and was so holy, that even his mere shadow would impart healing to the sick in its path.

Yet, the personal holiness of priests is not just important for blessings of healing, but for grace from any type of intercessory prayer!

Holy Mother Church recognizes the fact that those who are closest in friendship with God are most powerful as intercessors. This belief is why Mother Church holds so many Saints and Martyrs in high esteem after their deaths for the pious to call upon for aid. Yet, intercessory help begins on earth, as many faithful will seek out people who they feel are particularly holy for additional prayers. For example, many people sought the intercession of Padre Pio while he was alive. They witnessed the evidence of his close friendship with God, i.e., stigmata and other spiritual gifts, etc., and as his lifetime holiness grew, even more people sought him out daily for prayers, as well as for Confession and Holy Mass.

Priestly holiness is not just a calling for the Twelve Apostles, like St. Peter, or Padre Pio. All priests are called to a vocation of personal holiness, even more so than the laity, because their personal holiness has a direct effect on everything they do and every person they reach. Priests must strive to be powerful intercessors for their flock gaining as much grace as they can for their spiritual children.

In a message at Holy Love Ministries (http://www.holylove.org), Jesus once said that when we receive the Most Holy Eucharist, we should ask for the grace given His Blessed Mother at the Annunciation. That it is a special grace that will be given. As taught in seminaries, the same word used for the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit on the Blessed Mother at the Annunciation is used to describe the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit at the moment of Consecration of the Most Holy Eucharist by a priest. That is the moment when the priest stretches out his hands over the bread and wine and pronounces the sacred words. Thus, in a sense, they are essentially the same Act by God.

The moment of the Annunciation is one of the greatest moments of Our Blessed Mother demonstrating her great self-less love of God and neighbor–of the Commandment of Holy Love. Totally devoid of any care to self, the Blessed Mother completely loves God and us–all Her children. It is an act of total humility to become the Mother of God.

Thus, if the moment of the Annunciation and the Consecration of the Most Holy Eucharist can be seen as similar Acts by God, how important it is for a priest to be totally devoid of any semblance of self at that moment in the Holy Mass. In imitation of the Blessed Mother, a priest must be a total and complete vessel of absolute grace in self-less love–Holy Love of God and his spiritual children. Truly, the moment of the Consecration of the Most Holy Eucharist is when a priest becomes a father to all his spiritual children and recommits himself to this fatherhood in every celebration of Holy Mass.

Now, just imagine the horror it must be to God if a priest is not in a state of grace at the moment of the Consecration of the Most Holy Eucharist. It is as if the Blessed Mother, full of grace, was in mortal sin at the Annunciation! Instead of being a reflection of radiating absolute grace to his flock, a priest is repelling the encounter of the Holy Spirit, Who only comes because God has sacredly bound Himself to mankind in this Holy Act. Of course, I, a soul, am not educated in these theological matters, so I cannot say if this would constitute an act of sacrilege for a priest, etc. But, how it must displease the Holy Child Jesus in His coming to us on earth through such a vessel of disgrace.

Such an act of utter pride! “I am a priest therefore I command down the presence of God” versus “I am a priest therefore I tremble in fear and awe of this great servitude of God.” Pride!

In conclusion, I want people to know that although I have been somewhat critical of priests in this commentary, that I love very much our priests. Honestly, if I could kiss the hands of every priest who has ever brought me Jesus in the Most Holy Eucharist, I would do so with much gratitude. Some people might say that I have no right to be critical, because I do not know the challenges of modern-day priests, etc. Yes, I am not a priest (I am a lay female), but sometimes, it is necessary for someone on the outside to look in at a situation for a problem to be properly diagnosed and cured. And so, I offer this entire commentary in deep love and charity for our dear fathers. I want every priest to have a deeply satisfying and fulfilling relationship with Our Lord. A deeply holy faith that brings great graces for not only our priests but benefits us, all their spiritual children.

God bless!

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I am the Eternal Now – Creator of time and space. I tell you, the best way to prepare for the future is to prepare your hearts now by surrendering to My Divine Will. My Will exists outside of time and space. There is no beginning nor end to My Will. It is always perfect. To reject My Will is to reject all the grace that comes with it.”

“So often you do not have the time to debate what My Will is. The best way to be united with My Will is to base your decisions upon Holy Love. Holy love is never wrong. When you live in Holy Love, you walk hand in hand with the Holy Mother, with My Son and with Me.”

“This is the path I give you around all violence, false religions and laws which support sin and sinful lifestyles. Never think that mankind can legislate his way past sin. My Laws are your legal precedence. To focus on Holy Love is to focus on My Commandments. For this reason alone, Holy Love is the subject of attack. Do not listen to critics. Listen to Me.”

Read 1 John 3:19-24, 4:6+

By this we shall know that we are of the Truth, and reassure our hearts before Him whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything. Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His Commandments and do what pleases Him. And this is His Commandment, that we should believe in the Name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as He has commanded us. All who keep His Commandments abide in Him, and He in them. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit which He has given us.

We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I am the Lord of all Creation. Tell Me, which of My creations do you admire the most? Is it the air you breathe? Perhaps it is the opening and closing of each season. Or is it the millions of species of vegetation, animal life and sea life? Each of these I created to perfection.”

“Mankind, in his disrespect for Me and My role as Creator, has abused what I so generously gave him. The environment is polluted with man-made effort. So too, the seas have been polluted. Misuse of many natural resources has resulted in want. It is not My Provision that falls short, but man’s priorities. He thinks of his immediate needs, not of the effect his actions may have on the future and future generations.”

“There is a cure for every disease within nature. So much is lost in mankind’s disregard for what is all around him. I can fill the atmosphere with My Grace, but man must choose to respond wisely to it. My Blessing rests upon those who look for My Provision and use it with My guidance.”

Read Genesis 1:29-31+

And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

Commentary – Drinking Holy Water As A Healing Medicinal

I, a soul, want to write this short commentary because many people do not know about how great a sacramental holy water can be. Many people bless themselves often with holy water, but I do not think many people know that they can also drink holy water and it is not a sin.

I believe in using holy water as a medicinal. Whether you are suffering from a physical, mental, or a spiritual sickness, holy water can be a very effective treatment for your condition. Although you may not be fully healed from solely drinking holy water, I do know that it will alleviate symptoms from illness.

When my dad was dying from Parkinson’s Disease, we often gave him holy water to drink and he often said that it made him feel better. In the later stage, he suffered from dementia and we always noticed that drinking holy water would alleviate the severity of the dementia or would actually bring him back into a state of sanity for a short while. The holy water was powerful even when he was not consciously aware of it.

If I was suffering from a life-threatening disease, such as cancer, etc., I would use every means possible to fight it spiritually, such as frequent receptions of the Sacraments of the Anointing of the Sick and Confession, etc. This would include also drinking holy water everyday along with any medication and daily prayer.

Do not drink the holy water found in the font at your Catholic Church. Unfortunately, that holy water has been used by many people to bless themselves and so, it is likely, not sanitary (although, I do believe if someone has strong faith in God, they could drink poison and not die like St. Francis of Assisi, etc.). But here’s how you do this properly…

When my dad was still alive, every month, my mom and I would go to the benedictine abbey about an hour away from our house for Sunday Mass. We would load the van with several gallons of unopened drinking water from the store. Then, after Mass, one of the benedictine priests would bless all the gallons of water with the special exorcism prayer particular to the Order of St. Benedict (such as the prayer used for blessing St. Benedict Crucifixes). The prayer is not specific to just holy water, though, so we had the added bonus of the car getting a blessing, too, every time we did this.

However, if you do not have access to a benedictine priest, you can simply ask your parish priest if he will bless some holy water for you. At my parish, we used to have a particularly holy and kindly priest who would bless gallons of water for me whenever I asked. He would actually bless the water with the longer Latin prayer which includes an exorcism, which is much more effective than the more modern vernacular prayer typically used today to bless the holy water in the parish fonts. I would just drop the gallons of water off at the parish office on the weekend and then, would retrieve them the following Sunday, so my priest would have a week to do the blessing when he was not busy.

Now, there are a few things that you should know. Firstly, the St. Benedictine prayer is better to use than the Latin Rite prayer and the Latin Rite prayer is better then the modern vernacular prayer for holy water. But, whatever prayer is used, it is always better to have the holy water blessed by a priest than to bless it yourself or by another type of Christian minister. If the water is blessed by a priest (Catholic or Orthodox), it becomes a sacramental with special blessings and graces attached. So, strive to have your holy water blessed by a priest.

Secondly, faith is important in how effective the holy water is. Faith not just of the recipient (person drinking the water) but also faith of the priest who blessed the water. The holier the priest, the more effective the holy water can be in healing. Also, the faith of those who give the holy water to the recipient can also be important. Remember, my dad would suffer from dementia and he would be alleviated of his symptoms when he was not aware of his suffering, because the faith of my mom and I would act as a substitute for his. Just like for the Sacrament of Baptism, the parents’ faith will act on behalf of the infant so the child can receive the blessing from God.

Thirdly, it is alright to filter the holy water, to use it in teas, soups, and for cooking. However, do not use bleach or other harsh chemicals to filter the water, as I believe that will remove the blessing. Brita and other filters that use natural substances, like charcoal, should be alright to cleanse the water.

Fourthly, if you have a very sick animal, you can give them holy water and I do not believe it is a sin–although I would not do this as a normal daily thing. Normally, holy water is a sacramental for human beings, but, I also believe God looks at a person’s heart and their intentions. My family used to have a dog that suffered from epilepsy. And so, whenever he suffered from a seizure attack, we would bless him with holy water and sometimes, give him a little holy water to sip. Although we had no “hard evidence,” my family believes that the holy water helped our dog to have less seizure attacks and when they did happen, for them to be less severe. And I believe that God honored our faith in Him and our love for our dog when we did this.

Fifthly, besides holy water blessed by a priest, my family has found water from miraculous springs to also be very effective. In particular, I have found Lourdes water to be very powerful when battling the devil whether it is used for blessing or for drinking. Depending on faith, I actually believe that Lourdes water can be and is more powerful than holy water blessed by a priest. So, if you have Lourdes water, try to have it blessed by a priest, so you can have even more graces attached.

I do not know why Lourdes water, for me, is more powerful than regular holy water. The only reason I can think of, is because the Lourdes water is directly blessed by Our Blessed Mother and it requires a higher level of faith to believe in its healing properties. However, if you intend to drink Lourdes water, I suggest that you filter it, as typically, it comes directly from the grotto and has not been filtered to be drinking water. But, St. Bernadette drank directly from the grotto with no ill effects, so it is up to you.

However, I want to issue a caution here. If you suspect that you are suffering from a demonic sickness or might be suffering from demonic possession, you might have a reaction to drinking Lourdes water or holy water. This includes an immediate “jerking” reflex upon drinking it or even vomiting, etc. I believe that holy water can be an amazing sacramental when suffering from demonic attacks, but I issue this caution based on personal experience. The Lourdes or holy water will not make you sick, but the devil will reaction to its presence in your body, which causes great discomfort to him. So, if you suspect that you are battling satan, only drink a few sips of holy water as that is all you need(!). Any more than a few sips might cause a very severe adverse reaction from the devil (I say this truly from the bottom of my heart based on personal experience).

Also, although I talk about Lourdes water being very powerful, I believe that the same healing properties can be found at other miraculous springs of Our Blessed Mother throughout the world. In particular, the Blessed Mother has called the miraculous spring on the grounds of Maranatha Spring and Shrine (home of Holy Love Ministries, http://www.holylove.org), as the “Lourdes” of the western continents. So, if you cannot obtain Lourdes water from France, I suggest that you obtain water from miraculous springs closer to where you live, perhaps, Holy Love, etc. It should have equally beneficial healing properties as well.

Lastly, I have talked a lot about holy water in this commentary, but some of you may not have access to a priest who can bless holy water for you on a regular basis. In that case, I suggest that you use blessed salt, which is another great sacramental and can be just as effective as holy water. Store-bought containers of salt blessed by a priest will actually last longer than having gallons of holy water on-hand and they take up less space. Again, the benedictine and Latin Rite blessings are more powerful than the vernacular prayer used today by most parish priests, etc., and blessed salt can be used in cooking, sprinkled in food, or mixed in a glass of regular water to drink. Or, you can simply put a tiny bit on the tip of your tongue to swallow each day, etc. So, if you cannot get regular blessings of holy water from your parish priest, try having him bless several containers of salt–that should last you a very long time!

Anyways, I wrote this commentary mainly for the many people suffering from debilitating physical, mental, and life-threatening diseases, like cancer. I cannot promise a cure or complete healing, but holy water has been an amazing medicinal for my family and I. Properly used, it can be a wonderful spiritual aid in your healing.

God bless!
–a soul

Additional Note:
I just remembered. Of note, the holy water blessed by the priest with the Easter candle during the Easter Mass for the baptisms of the catechumens has special graces attached to it. It is not just the simple holy water normally blessed by the parish priests throughout the year. Although you likely would not have enough for drinking, I do suggest that you bring a small bottle with you to Easter Mass so you can obtain some of this special holy water afterwards for blessing yourself. God bless!

“I am Lord of all Creation. All things are subject to Me. To believe this is to trust. In order to trust, the soul needs to give the present moment over to me. This surrender means you accept whatever My Divine Will sends you. This is the attitude which makes your prayers stronger. This is the attitude which closes the gap between My Heart and the heart of the world.”

“Often when things seem the most desperate, it is this trustful surrender which pulls the greatest graces from My Heart. So few believe this. Their lack of trust grieves Me. I come to inspire each soul’s trustful surrender in the present moment.”

2010 Monthly Message for January 1, 2018

January 1, 2010

JESUS

“There are many different ways to communicate love. One of the ways that I communicate love to My apostles is through My constant presence. I am in each moment, in each day, offering you My heavenly companionship. I offer you a constant stream of love which heals and reassures, which steadies and directs. When allowed, I can help an apostle to adjust his viewpoint to My viewpoint, which is very different from the viewpoint of one who has either forgotten about My presence or rejected My companionship. With this viewpoint comes calm purpose. The days flow past, one by one, and My will flows through each one of you who has accepted My presence. You often do not see big changes through your service. Perhaps you wonder if your cooperation is helpful at all. I assure you today, that if you were to reject Me tomorrow, My kingdom would suffer. Without you, I would have one less home for My great love on earth. Each time I use you to love another, I feel gratitude. My gratitude is a force for change in the lives of those around you. You are gaining graces that only Heaven can understand. Only Heaven can see how an action of grace is stored in waiting. This grace surrounds each person you intercede for and at a moment when it is possible, meaning that Heaven sees the opening, that grace is utilised to protect and advance the person. Dear apostle, serving so steadily, leave all of your difficulties to Me. Abandon yourself to My providence completely. Serve with discipline in this moment and I will care for your loved ones. I am using you for the purpose of love and I want to use you even more fully. When you become discouraged, please sit with Me and I will help you to grasp the limited nature of your vision. Concentrate on My will for your day. Concentrate on remaining in the present, connected to your service in each moment. Avoid being trapped by the past and avoid being drawn into a future on earth which may not include you. You do not know when I will come for you. But I am with you now, as you read these words, and I have work for you today. Look, together with Me, at what I am asking of you and together we will be a successful force for love. I crave love from you. When you trust Me and reject fear, I am delighted. Calm, steady service is what I require from My beloved apostles who seek to serve Me. Be at peace. I am with you.”

MESSAGE FROM OUR DIVINE SAVIOR JESUS
“2018 WILL BE THE LAST YEAR FOR THOSE IN THE OCCULT TO BE ABLE TO RETURN TO ME”
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2017 @12:30PM

Anna Marie: My Lord, are you calling me?

Jesus: Yes my dear one.

Anna Marie: My Lord, are you Father, Son or Holy Spirit?

Jesus: My dear one, it is I, your Lord God and Savior, Jesus of Nazareth.

Anna Marie: Yes my Divine Lord, I love you Jesus. My Lord may I ask You please, will You bow down and adore Your Holy Eternal Merciful Father, who is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of all life, of all that is visible and invisible?

Jesus: Yes my dearest one, I, Your Divine Savior, will now and will always bow down and adore My Holy Eternal Merciful Father, who is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of all life, of all that is visible and invisible.

Anna Marie: Please speak my Holy Divine Savior, for your sinful servant is now listening.

Jesus: My dear one, I have come to speak with you this day regarding the New Year 2018. This year will not be an easy one for many as the world has increased in evil practices and the destruction of life. No one knows the diabolical wicked practices that so many humans are committing each day. If you only knew what Your Father in Heaven knows, you would be on your knees in prayer daily, praying for the victims of such satanic occult practices. Woe to the world, for your day of destruction is near! Woe to those who serve the enemy of God, for truly I say to each, you will burn in the pit of damnation forever and your pains will never be relieved. You have chosen hell, so you will endure it for all eternity!

Jesus: For any witch who was once a Catholic, you have separated yourself from Holy Church. You have excommunicated yourself from My Father’s grace and Mine. Your sacrilege and heresy will not go unpunished. You will be condemned to hell for all eternity because you knew Me through the Sacraments of Grace, but you departed from them. You have condemned yourself and will suffer unspeakable tortures for all eternity.

Jesus: 2018 will be the last year for those in the occult to be able to return to me, through Sacramental Confession before it is too late. You must choose now, to serve Me your Divine Merciful Savior or the devil. You have no other options. You will either spend your eternity with Me in the Heavenly Kingdom or in the pit of hell, being tormented from demons, burning and other torture chambers that await you there! Now you must decide to repent, attend Sacramental Confession and atone for your wicked curses you have cursed against others. Repent now, while you still have breath in your lungs. For you murderers, those who kill, those who have aborted, those who kill in the name of their false god: repent and ask for My Divine Mercy while you can.

Jesus: My dear little ones, your time here on earth is being shortened, because My Father sees the younger children are all getting involved in the occult now. Strip your children’s lives of all things, all items that will send them to hell: computers, phones. These are tools that the enemy of My Father uses to draw your children into the occult and into the devil’s service. Why do you not see what is before you? Why do you parents, ignore and deny the truth when you see with your own eyes the wicked behaviors of your children?

Jesus: Parents be assured, you will be held responsible before Almighty God because of your lazy parenting and the denial of your participation in their dereliction on attending Mass, saying prayers and ingratitude of My Father’s great blessings upon your family. Families, you have been warned, you must change while you still have time to make changes in your family members life. Pray now, pray for the holy graces to be poured upon you and your sinful actions.

Jesus: Pray to receive the wisdom and fortitude to change yourself and your family members. Begin with the daily recitation of My Mother’s Holy Rosary. If you do, you will witness amazing grace being poured upon each member of your family. Pray for your family members, pray for your friends, pray for your Priests, pray for your community, pray for your government leaders, pray for your Catholic faith, for truly I say, she is under grave attack by those hiding their true intentions. They call themselves “Priest” but they are not. They are servants of the devil, wolves dressed in sheep skins. Pray for Holy Mother Church on earth and pray for My quick return.

Jesus: I hear many of My beloved children, even my holy Priest sons, crying out to Heaven for My return. I know each of My servants who are suffering tortuous curses the demons exact upon my children. Continue to pray and please offer your sufferings for the salvation of sinners. Your prayers, sacrifices, and sufferings are all needed now to save souls. Please children, pray daily, pray perpetually, as much as possible. Pray, pray, pray!

Jesus: I love you My beloved and chosen Apostles. You I have chosen in these End Days to save souls. I love you, you are mine and I will never leave you. Your Divine Savior, Jesus of Nazareth.

“Dear children! Today I am bringing to you my Son Jesus for Him to give you His peace and blessing. I am calling all of you, little children, to live and witness the graces and the gifts which you have received. Do not be afraid. Pray for the Holy Spirit to give you the strength to be joyful witnesses and people of peace and hope. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I AM WHO AM – Father of the Cosmos – Creator of Heaven and Earth. I have told you to prepare for days ahead. By that, I mean prepare your hearts. Remember, I look only at what is in hearts – not outward actions or appearances. I protect and provide for the heart that trusts in Me. Therefore, pray to be able to trust in Me in good times and in the time of trial. I take delight in this type of trust.”

“This generation, as a whole, trusts in human efforts and does not rely on grace in time of need. I come here* to speak in an effort to change all of that. I come as a loving Father. You see the last leaves drift lazily to the ground. A month ago, they adorned the trees in an admirable way. So, it is, in human life. You are vibrant and important in the world and suddenly make the transition into eternal life. How I welcome the heart that trusts Me to provide and lead them in this eternal transition without fear. You do not see what lies ahead. But, I tell you, every grace you will need will be provided. To trust in this, is to be at peace in your heart. No soul in a state of grace is left without My Assistance.”

Read Lamentations 3:19-25+

Remember my affliction and my bitterness,
the wormwood and the gall!
My soul continually thinks of it
and is bowed down within me.
But this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is thy faithfulness.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.”
The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul that seeks him.

God the Father – “I desire to be a part of your everyday life – a part of your every decision”

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I am the Lord, Father of every generation. In Me, is all Truth. In Me, is every grace – every solution. These days, mankind picks his way through life without regard for what is good or evil in My Eyes. This is what liberalism is. The liberal person makes a god of his free-will choices. If it is something he wants – something that will give him temporary pleasure, he chooses it. His liberal choices are without regard for pleasing Me or the consequences to others. This is how ambition takes ahold of hearts.”

“Remember, My Knowledge is infinite and eternal. I see every choice and every decision you are faced with. I desire to be a part of your everyday life – a part of your every decision. I am your Father – your paternal goodness. I seek your welfare which is one with your salvation. You cannot make just choices without My help. My Grace is your ally. Seek to please Me – not yourself. The conservative decision is based upon good in My Eyes.”

Read Romans 1:24-25+

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever! Amen.

Jesus is here* with His Heart exposed. He says:

“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“My brothers and sisters, prepare for My coming to you on Christmas, making your hearts humble as the manger was humble. Pray for this grace.”

“Tonight, I am blessing you with My Blessing of Divine Love.”

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I am the Father of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I come to pronounce the path of righteousness, peace and Truth.”

“Corruption of the heart begins with too much self-interest. This leads to the compromise of Truth and the abuse of authority. Corruption is insidious – beginning in an unnoticed way and deepening with every decision. So, it is, you have corrupt leaders, governments and regimes.”

“You will never have peace in the world so long as you have corruption in hearts. Each one must look to the best interests of others with meekness and patience. This unselfishness is the key to peace. Be reconciled with My Will in such a way.”

Read 1 Peter 1:22-23+

Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart. You have been born anew, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God.

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“Today, I come to you as the Creator of all the Universe – of every drop of water in the oceans, every creature on land and in the sea, every blade of grass or leaf which falls from a tree. I know the whereabouts and well-being of all these creations of Mine. How much more then, am I concerned with every soul which I created to spend eternity with Me?”

“When a human heart beats out of rhythm it is said to be diseased and often needs to be shocked back into a healthy way of functioning. During this Age, the heart of the world is not beating in rhythm with My Paternal Heart. This is why certain events will, of necessity, occur to shock the heart of the world back into the reality of the Truth in the way it is traveling. This is why My Wrath will be a healing of the heart of the world.”

“Very often for good to occur, evil must be revealed and dealt with. This awakening is trying very hard to come to light today in certain areas of the world – this nation* being one of them.”

“I am using My Remnant Faithful to shed light on the Truth. Of course, they are met with ridicule and disdain. I am giving them the grace of courage to persevere in this, My endeavor.”

“Do not be alarmed at certain and inevitable events which will unfold in your midst. Do not look at false leaders who do not embrace Holy Love to direct you in times of trouble. You will remember My Words to you today as events occur all over My created world. Persevere in the Truth.”

* U.S.A.

Read Lamentations 3:40-43+

Let us test and examine our ways,
and return to the Lord!
Let us lift up our hearts and hands
to God in heaven:
We have transgressed and rebelled,
and thou hast not forgiven.
Thou hast wrapped thyself with anger and pursued us,
slaying without pity;

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I am the Eternal Now – Father of all Ages. In My Heart is the hope of this generation. It is according to My Will the circumstances of the future will evolve and unfold. Nothing takes place outside of My Divine Will. Therefore, if it is happening – it is My Will. In some way and at some time, the present moment becomes the future. Now you are in the world and living in time and space. After this life passes – time and space do not exist.”

“Everything in this life is temporary – every problem, every solution, every victory and every defeat. Do not revel over seeming victories or mourn defeats. Keep your eyes and your hearts fixed on eternity, which I lovingly have prepared for you. Make your decisions based on the eternity I have chosen for you which is the fulfillment of My Commandments. The alternative is eternal condemnation.”

“I speak to you today, once again, to make your choices clearer. Every decision you make affects the heart of the world and therefore the future of the world.”

Read Acts 1:7+

He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority.”

Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says:

“I am Lord of the Universe. I am the Eternal Now. Each soul is created to share eternity with Me, to know Me and to love Me above all else. During these harrowing times which weigh upon the heart of the world, man has lost sight of that, due to the consequences of sin. Any sin encourages poor decisions, concerning any matter. This is how abuse of authority and the compromise of Truth take root and are encouraged.”

“Errors in judgment lead to bad politics. Bad politics lead to confusion of purpose. Your nation* is an example of this. So much is being accepted as law to please man and to transgress My Commandments. The confusion is that people do not see the way they are being led. Some nations, which have received the greatest graces by way of saints and apparitions, are now in the most trouble spiritually.”

“I speak now at this site** to encourage the conversion of the heart of the world which includes every heart. Do not allow the grace of My speaking here to slip by you unnoticed. Pay attention. Do not turn your hearts against your own salvation.”

Read Genesis 6:5-8+

The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the ground, man and beast and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
