The Book of Truth:

These people will destroy My Churches and few will be allowed to offer the daily Sacrifices

January 20, 2013fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, I wish that My disciples will embrace the changes, which will lie ahead, without fear. It is because of these changes that man can be purified.

The evil acts of war and the abolition of your rights, brought about to control the way in which your countries are run, will soon come about.  If this final battle between My Father’s Kingdom and the devil and his evil spirits were not to take place, then evil could not be destroyed.

There will be attempts made, constantly, to take over your currencies and your personal access to money. But your prayers can stop these wicked leaders from inflicting this attempt at slavery.

These people will destroy My Churches and few will be allowed to offer the daily Sacrifices. Yet, there will be those among them, which will remain standing because of the Grace of God.

They will persecute the Church and cause a big division amongst leaders in the Christian Churches and, yet, there will be priests and clergy still left standing because they will refuse to submit to this pressure.

They will try to stop the Sacraments of Baptism, Holy Communion and Confession and, yet, these faithful and brave sacred servants will continue to serve Me.

Remember your prayers will dilute the impact and severity of these trials. When My chosen souls pray for these acts of Mercy, especially, I will respond to their calls.

Your Jesus

 

Sacraments, The ClergyHoly Eucharist

 

It is the Missions of the true prophets, which cause outrage

January 20, 2013fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, it is My greatest wish to see unbelievers read My Holy Word. Even, were it only for just a few minutes, they would be tempted to come back to My Script, again and again.

Because Satan deceives the world into believing he does not exist, or that his demons, the fallen angels, do not roam the world freely, seeking refuge in the hearts and bodies of people, he is unknown to unbelievers.  It is only when man accepts the existence of evil in the world, will he truly open his mind to accept the Existence of God.

When evil spirits wander, they seek out places where they can easily enter a soul. Once within the soul, they are very difficult to get rid of. They cling to those poor souls who have no faith or trust in God. They attack My followers in similar ways and only their prayers can offer them protection.

When a prophet has been sent into the world, Satan and his demons will go to extraordinary lengths to fight the Gift of Prophecy.

You, My daughter, are surrounded by the attacks of Satan. This takes many forms. People who respond to My Messages will be tormented, also. Doubts will, firstly, be planted within their hearts by the spirit of evil who will then create anxiety within the soul. This will lead them to question and challenge My Messages until their doubts turn into hatred.

Many souls you associate with, unbeknown to them, will be tempted, constantly, to betray you. Some strangers will come up and say to you that they also are prophets. Some of those souls, who came to you since the start of this Mission, in the pretence that they were also prophets of Mine with special gifts from Me and lied to you, are your worst enemies. They are infested by evil spirits and many, sadly, do not realise this. Those sacred servants of Mine, to whom you confided and who betrayed you, were also stopped from doing their duty to Me, because of the spirit of jealousy.

There are very few who can be trusted to work with My prophets, which is why the genuine ones have to work alone, with just a handful of people they can trust.

You, My followers, must never feel hurt or insulted when I will not permit My prophet to meet you, or participate in public events.

As the end time prophet, I cannot permit diversions. I need all of  Maria’s time and devotion. It will be I, Jesus Christ, Who will guide you in your prayers, and through My Prayer Groups. Never underestimate the spirit of evil, which creates doubts and arguments amongst you, along with the temptation to walk away.

Recognise the reasons for this. It is because Satan’s biggest war is being waged in this time. It is the Missions of the true prophets, which cause outrage. It is I, Jesus, Who leads the battle against the evil one and it is I Who will win it.

Your Beloved Jesus

Wicked group perpetrating biggest lie in order to seize control of countries

February 16, 2012fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, you must tell My children, all those followers of Mine, to link and form a chain of protection in prayer.By joining as brothers and sisters in prayer for those lost children, who wander, seeking love for Me, but who cannot find peace in their souls, you can save them.

They need you to pray for them because The Warning won’t convert these poor souls.

You, My loyal followers, bring Me the consolation I need when I see the terrible pain and hardships, which are now being endured by My children in almost every corner of the world.

This wicked group, made up of some of the worlds most powerful and elite are perpetrating the biggest lie through their deliberate plotting to seize control of countries in the Middle East, Europe and the US.

Their plan is unveiling before your eyes. Can’t you see? This plan has taken decades to develop.

Every one of My children needs to stay awake at all times.

Do not allow them to take your countries. Stand up to them. Money is their weapon of deceit. The collapse of your banking systems was deliberate. Now they move to complete the next phase of their plan.

You, children, can stop this evolving through your prayers.

Already My Father is placing obstacles in their way.

My followers span many countries. Now you must join together, in prayer, to stop European leaders, some of whom are intrinsic in bringing about terrible hardship on innocent people, in their wicked ways.

I urge you to say this Crusade Prayer (31) to stop them

“O my Jesus, let my prayer invoke Your Holy Spirit to descend on those leaders driven by lust, greed, avarice and pride to stop the persecution of Your innocent children. I ask You to stop poverty, famine and wars from devouring Your children. And I pray that European leaders will open their hearts to the Truth of Your Love. Amen.”

My daughter, the chain of prayer will spread out far and wide and the Power of the Holy Spirit will help stop those people, who have the power to stop suffering and halt them in their actions.

Spread My Word in order to spread conversion.

My time to come to Reign is close. So, there will not be time enough to save all souls.

Do all you can for Me, your Jesus, Who loves and cherishes you all.

We must work together, children, for the sake of all of mankind, in our battle to prevent the antichrist and his atrocious plan of deception.

Hope, love and prayers, children, this is what I expect of you.

I thank you for all your loyalty and obedience.

You have not seen, yet you have believed. Once you heard My Voice, through these Messages, you recognised Me.You were able to do this because of the Holy Spirit, which reigns in your souls.

You must share this great Gift so that you can bring all of your loved ones with you into My New Paradise on Earth.

I love each and every one of you. You bring Me such consolation and joy.

Your beloved Jesus

Attempts to introduce World Currency in Europe

December 9, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, how I wish My children, especially those suffering in Europe under the oppression, would just turn to My Father for help.

The evil group, I have referred to time and time again, are now moving closer in their attempts to control all My poor children in this part of the world.

They, innocent pawns in a ruthless plan to introduce a World Currency in order to control the whole of Europe, must pray hard now for help from God the Almighty Father.

Never give in, children, to the persecution, which is being perpetrated behind closed doors. Pray to mitigate these circumstances. Call on God the Father, in My Name, His beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to avert this crisis and say:

“God the Father, in the Name of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, I beg of You to stop this abomination to control Your children. Please protect all Your children in these terrible times so that we may find peace and dignity to live our lives free from the evil one.”

My daughter, prayer can and will bring these sinister plans to an end.

God the Eternal Father will, as I have said, chastise those responsible for this evil plot should they not turn back to the belief in their Almighty Creator.

Trust in Me. Trust in My Eternal Father and pray that this persecution be halted before the real plan to destroy, control and damage these souls is eventually revealed.

Your beloved Saviour
Jesus Christ”

THE BOOK OF THE TRUTH – Message 240

The Book of Truth – Jesus to Mary Divine Mercy – MDM Last Prophet – Archives of MDM Messages

Messages given to a European woman to prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ

Friday, November 4th, 2011, 19:00

My dearest daughter from Me comes true life, the only life that man will ever need from here to eternity.

Children you must know that this terrible turmoil you are seeing all around you will not last long.

God, My Eternal Father, will not allow His precious children to suffer much more. You, My children are the victims of the work of the deceiver. He who controls the Global Group is weakening. His powers are being scuppered through the power of My Father. This group who deliberately destroyed your banking systems to make beggars out of you will fall apart. You must not worry because the hand of My Father will fall on their wicked ways.

Pray that all those deluded souls who slavishly abide by the wickedness which is at the very heart of this group will convert during The Warning.

You must never give up hope children. It will be through your love of God the Most High that you will return to the fold of your family. The Blessed Trinity is your home children. Those of you who accept this fact, brought about through conversion, will inherit the glorious era of Paradise on earth.

Trust in Me always. Offer your worries, troubles and fears to Me. Allow Me to ease your pain and suffering. It will not be too long now when the world will find relief from the painful birth pangs you endure in these times.

Never lose hope. Trust in Me. Pray for My graces to make you stronger. Lay your head on My shoulders and allow My peace to envelop your souls. Only then will you understand the truth of My Glorious promise of eternal life.

Your Jesus, Saviour of Mankind”

Your banking collapse was masterminded by the antichrist

The Book of Truth:

Your banking collapse was masterminded by the antichrist

October 6, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, pray hard because the antichrist is ready to spring from his hiding hole and will leap upon the world in order to devour My children.

His cunning plan will be hidden behind a handsome, charming and articulate exterior, but when My children look into his eyes they will see darkness, for he has no soul. He was not created by the Hand of God the Father.

Pray, My children, now, every one of you, to stop him from destroying all those he controls from within the One World Order.

Prayer can mitigate many of his proposed, sickening plans against humanity. Sadly, many will be fooled by him. Never before have I urged My children for so much prayer, because without your prayers the schemes he is orchestrating will be fulfilled as foretold in the Book of Revelation.

His presence on Earth is felt throughout the world, but his actions are hidden from view. He is like a rock, which when thrown into the water, creates ripples that can travel for miles. He wants to destroy you because you are My children.

My children who follow his every move in a slavish manner are blindfolded. The secret atrocities committed by these people create tremendous sorrow in Heaven.

Children, I must ask you to pray to St.Michael the Archangel to rebuke Satan during these turbulent times. The antichrist is moving quickly and his influence is speeding up the global plot to unify your currencies everywhere.

Your banking collapse was deliberately mastermind by the antichrist so that when your countries needed help, he and his wicked minions would rise to rescue your countries.

Wake up all of you and see what is really happening before your eyes. He is waiting to pounce, but your prayers can mitigate his actions and halt him in his tracks. His soiled hands are waiting to grab you into an embrace, from which you will find it hard to disentangle.

Remember, children, Satan’s remaining time on Earth is short. The antichrist has been sent to steal souls from My Father. These souls come from My Father, God the Creator of all things. The antichrist’s promise of an everlasting universe is nonsense. Many souls are now being seduced by this new and sinister doctrine. I watch as they fall into this deceitful den of darkness and weep bitter tears. For once these souls follow this path of deceit they are contaminated. Their attitude to others, including their family, changes as their hearts turn cold.

Satan’s power is strong, but God the Father will step in and punish his followers on this Earth most severely. The Warning is their last chance to turn their backs on the antichrist.

Pray that My Light will penetrate each and every soul during The Warning, so that lost souls, especially, can be rescued from this terrible darkness.

Your beloved Jesus Christ”

„Wise Sayings of Solomon

10 The proverbs of Solomon.

A wise child makes a glad father,
but a foolish child is a mother’s grief.
2 Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit,
but righteousness delivers from death.
3 The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,
but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.
4 A slack hand causes poverty,
but the hand of the diligent makes rich.
5 A child who gathers in summer is prudent,
but a child who sleeps in harvest brings shame.
6 Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
7 The memory of the righteous is a blessing,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
8 The wise of heart will heed commandments,
but a babbling fool will come to ruin.
9 Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but whoever follows perverse ways will be found out.
10 Whoever winks the eye causes trouble,
but the one who rebukes boldly makes peace.[a]
11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
12 Hatred stirs up strife,
but love covers all offenses.
13 On the lips of one who has understanding wisdom is found,
but a rod is for the back of one who lacks sense.
14 The wise lay up knowledge,
but the babbling of a fool brings ruin near.
15 The wealth of the rich is their fortress;
the poverty of the poor is their ruin.
16 The wage of the righteous leads to life,
the gain of the wicked to sin.
17 Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,
but one who rejects a rebuke goes astray.
18 Lying lips conceal hatred,
and whoever utters slander is a fool.
19 When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
but the prudent are restrained in speech.
20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;
the mind of the wicked is of little worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many,
but fools die for lack of sense.
22 The blessing of the Lord makes rich,
and he adds no sorrow with it.[b]
23 Doing wrong is like sport to a fool,
but wise conduct is pleasure to a person of understanding.
24 What the wicked dread will come upon them,
but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
25 When the tempest passes, the wicked are no more,
but the righteous are established forever.
26 Like vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes,
so are the lazy to their employers.
27 The fear of the Lord prolongs life,
but the years of the wicked will be short.
28 The hope of the righteous ends in gladness,
but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing.
29 The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the upright,
but destruction for evildoers.
30 The righteous will never be removed,
but the wicked will not remain in the land.
31 The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,
but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.”

„Admonition to Trust and Honor God

3 My child, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments;
2 for length of days and years of life
and abundant welfare they will give you.

3 Do not let loyalty and faithfulness forsake you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 So you will find favor and good repute
in the sight of God and of people.

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own insight.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
8 It will be a healing for your flesh
and a refreshment for your body.

9 Honor the Lord with your substance
and with the first fruits of all your produce;
10 then your barns will be filled with plenty,
and your vats will be bursting with wine.

11 My child, do not despise the Lord’s discipline
or be weary of his reproof,
12 for the Lord reproves the one he loves,
as a father the son in whom he delights.

The True Wealth

13 Happy are those who find wisdom,
and those who get understanding,
14 for her income is better than silver,
and her revenue better than gold.
15 She is more precious than jewels,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;
those who hold her fast are called happy.

God’s Wisdom in Creation

19 The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
by understanding he established the heavens;
20 by his knowledge the deeps broke open,
and the clouds drop down the dew.

The True Security

21 My child, do not let these escape from your sight:
keep sound wisdom and prudence,
22 and they will be life for your soul
and adornment for your neck.
23 Then you will walk on your way securely
and your foot will not stumble.
24 If you sit down,[a] you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
25 Do not be afraid of sudden panic,
or of the storm that strikes the wicked;
26 for the Lord will be your confidence
and will keep your foot from being caught.

27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,[b]
when it is in your power to do it.
28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again,
tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.
29 Do not plan harm against your neighbor
who lives trustingly beside you.
30 Do not quarrel with anyone without cause,
when no harm has been done to you.
31 Do not envy the violent
and do not choose any of their ways;
32 for the perverse are an abomination to the Lord,
but the upright are in his confidence.
33 The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the abode of the righteous.
34 Toward the scorners he is scornful,
but to the humble he shows favor.
35 The wise will inherit honor,
but stubborn fools, disgrace.”

„Jesus the Good Shepherd

10 “Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

7 So again Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and bandits; but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. „

Wednesday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time

Lectionary: 463

Reading I

Jon 4:1-11

Jonah was greatly displeased
and became angry that God did not carry out the evil
he threatened against Nineveh.
He prayed, “I beseech you, LORD,
is not this what I said while I was still in my own country?
This is why I fled at first to Tarshish.
I knew that you are a gracious and merciful God,
slow to anger, rich in clemency, loath to punish.
And now, LORD, please take my life from me;
for it is better for me to die than to live.”
But the LORD asked, “Have you reason to be angry?”

Jonah then left the city for a place to the east of it,
where he built himself a hut and waited under it in the shade,
to see what would happen to the city.
And when the LORD God provided a gourd plant
that grew up over Jonah’s head,
giving shade that relieved him of any discomfort,
Jonah was very happy over the plant.
But the next morning at dawn
God sent a worm that attacked the plant,
so that it withered.
And when the sun arose, God sent a burning east wind;
and the sun beat upon Jonah’s head till he became faint.
Then Jonah asked for death, saying,
“I would be better off dead than alive.”

But God said to Jonah,
“Have you reason to be angry over the plant?”
“I have reason to be angry,” Jonah answered, “angry enough to die.”
Then the LORD said,
“You are concerned over the plant which cost you no labor
and which you did not raise;
it came up in one night and in one night it perished.
And should I not be concerned over Nineveh, the great city,
in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons
who cannot distinguish their right hand from their left,
not to mention the many cattle?”

Responsorial Psalm

86:3-4, 5-6, 9-10

R.    (15) Lord, you are merciful and gracious.
Have mercy on me, O Lord,
for to you I call all the day.
Gladden the soul of your servant,
for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
R.    Lord, you are merciful and gracious.
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in kindness to all who call upon you.
Hearken, O LORD, to my prayer
and attend to the sound of my pleading.
R.    Lord, you are merciful and gracious.
All the nations you have made shall come
and worship you, O Lord,
and glorify your name.
For you are great, and you do wondrous deeds;
you alone are God.
R.    Lord, you are merciful and gracious.

You have received a spirit of adoption as sons
through which we cry: Abba! Father!

Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished,
one of his disciples said to him,
“Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.”
He said to them, “When you pray, say:

Father, hallowed be your name,
your Kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread
and forgive us our sins
for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us,
and do not subject us to the final test.””

The Book of Truth:

The Keys of Rome now being handed back to God the Almighty Father

June 6, 2011fatherofloveandmercy

My dearly beloved daughter, be strong now. The content of My Messages to you are causing you fear, which you must not succumb to. Sometimes you feel so alone in this Work, yet I stand with you every day and Am not far from your side. My Messages, as I have told you before, will not always bring joy to souls. Believers, however, will understand that chastisement is necessary to help purify the world.

It is difficult, I know, to digest the content sometimes, but you must place all your trust in Me. I Am instructing you, once again, not to engage with those people, believers of mine, who challenge, analyse or pick holes in My Holy Word. For neither you nor those souls has the authority to do so.

You must obey me now. Let those who continue to pour scorn and denounce My Word be, for this is no longer your concern. Yes, of course, you will be criticised when you proclaim My Word. Ignore those now who try to engage with you. Time is too short to waste with such diversions. The people you need to concern yourself with now are My poor children who lack faith, or who do not know Me or My Eternal Father. They are the ones of great concern to Me.

So while those well-meaning Christians who will always try to discern My Word, devote their time to analysis, instead of simply following My Teachings and praying for their poor brothers and sisters, valuable time is being wasted.

My daughter, tell the world that the ecological disasters foretold will now strike the Earth. All will commence now, so many, so quickly. And all due to the blind eyes turned on the Word of God the Father by sinners, wrapped up in their dens of iniquity.

Believers do not be fearful
Believers, pray now. Do not be fearful. I will offer you My Divine protection at all times, even when you are ridiculed in My Name. Prayer will give you strength and courage, as the evil one and his minions now pour out their venom on My children. As their heinous acts of warfare on humanity begins to escalate, through terrorism, monopoly of world currencies and the poisoning of the Earth through deliberate contamination, hear Me now.

The Wrath of God the Father will now fall, and quickly. Prayer must be conducted in groups all over the world because it will help avert some of these events.

Pray for My beloved Pope Benedict. He is surrounded by very powerful enemies of God, gluttons for power and control of My Church. Prayer can help delay his imminent departure, when he will be forced to leave the Vatican as foretold. Pray, pray, pray for this period in time, for it will be the darkest ever to befall My sacred servants, Bishops, Cardinals and all true followers of Mine. The Keys of Rome will now be handed back to God the Almighty Father.

The time has come for the battle against Satan and his evil followers. Their attempts to sabotage mankind will be dealt with most severely, for they will endure great suffering for their evil acts.

Rise now, My children. Place all your trust, confidence and devotion to Me as a priority. Daily prayer, Mass and the Eucharist will help Me, and My Father, stamp out this evil. Follow Me. Take up My Cup, for when you do this, you will enjoy eternal life.

Your loving Saviour
King of Mankind, Jesus Christ”

„Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look[a] into the tomb; 12 and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. 13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” 14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew,[b] “Rabbouni!” (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she told them that he had said these things to her.”

„… The Keys of Rome now being handed back to God the Almighty Father …”

„Paul and Silas in Prison

16 One day, as we were going to the place of prayer, we met a slave-girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners a great deal of money by fortune-telling. 17 While she followed Paul and us, she would cry out, “These men are slaves of the Most High God, who proclaim to you[a] a way of salvation.” 18 She kept doing this for many days. But Paul, very much annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I order you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.

19 But when her owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the authorities. 20 When they had brought them before the magistrates, they said, “These men are disturbing our city; they are Jews 21 and are advocating customs that are not lawful for us as Romans to adopt or observe.” 22 The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates had them stripped of their clothing and ordered them to be beaten with rods. 23 After they had given them a severe flogging, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to keep them securely. 24 Following these instructions, he put them in the innermost cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.

25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was an earthquake, so violent that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were unfastened. 27 When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors wide open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, since he supposed that the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul shouted in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” 29 The jailer[b] called for lights, and rushing in, he fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he brought them outside and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32 They spoke the word of the Lord[c] to him and to all who were in his house. 33 At the same hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds; then he and his entire family were baptized without delay. 34 He brought them up into the house and set food before them; and he and his entire household rejoiced that he had become a believer in God.”

„A Man Born Blind Receives Sight

9 As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God’s works might be revealed in him. 4 We[a] must work the works of him who sent me[b] while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man’s eyes, 7 saying to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see. 8 The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some were saying, “It is he.” Others were saying, “No, but it is someone like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.” 10 But they kept asking him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” 11 He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ Then I went and washed and received my sight.” 12 They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”

The Pharisees Investigate the Healing

13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. 14 Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. 15 Then the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I see.” 16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not observe the sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And they were divided. 17 So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” He said, “He is a prophet.”

18 The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight 19 and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” 20 His parents answered, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; 21 but we do not know how it is that now he sees, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.” 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus[c] to be the Messiah[d] would be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”

24 So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and they said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.” 25 He answered, “I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” 26 They said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” 27 He answered them, “I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?” 28 Then they reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.” 30 The man answered, “Here is an astonishing thing! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to one who worships him and obeys his will. 32 Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” 34 They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you trying to teach us?” And they drove him out.

Spiritual Blindness

35 Jesus heard that they had driven him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”[e] 36 He answered, “And who is he, sir?[f] Tell me, so that I may believe in him.” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he.” 38 He said, “Lord,[g] I believe.” And he worshiped him. „

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ

Lectionary: 168

Reading I

Ex 24:3-8

When Moses came to the people
and related all the words and ordinances of the LORD,
they all answered with one voice,
“We will do everything that the LORD has told us.”
Moses then wrote down all the words of the LORD and,
rising early the next day,
he erected at the foot of the mountain an altar
and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
Then, having sent certain young men of the Israelites
to offer holocausts and sacrifice young bulls
as peace offerings to the LORD,
Moses took half of the blood and put it in large bowls;
the other half he splashed on the altar.
Taking the book of the covenant, he read it aloud to the people,
who answered, “All that the LORD has said, we will heed and do.”
Then he took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, saying,
“This is the blood of the covenant
that the LORD has made with you
in accordance with all these words of his.”

Responsorial Psalm

116:12-13, 15-16, 17-18

R. (13)    I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the Lord.
or:
R. Alleluia.
How shall I make a return to the LORD
for all the good he has done for me?
The cup of salvation I will take up,
and I will call upon the name of the LORD.
R. I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the Lord.
or:
R. Alleluia.
Precious in the eyes of the LORD
is the death of his faithful ones.
I am your servant, the son of your handmaid;
you have loosed my bonds.
R. I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the Lord.
or:
R. Alleluia.
To you will I offer sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and I will call upon the name of the LORD.
My vows to the LORD I will pay
in the presence of all his people.
R. I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the Lord.
or:
R. Alleluia.

Reading II

Heb 9:11-15

Brothers and sisters:
When Christ came as high priest
of the good things that have come to be,
passing through the greater and more perfect tabernacle
not made by hands, that is, not belonging to this creation,
he entered once for all into the sanctuary,
not with the blood of goats and calves
but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.
For if the blood of goats and bulls
and the sprinkling of a heifer’s ashes
can sanctify those who are defiled
so that their flesh is cleansed,
how much more will the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God,
cleanse our consciences from dead works
to worship the living God.

For this reason he is mediator of a new covenant:
since a death has taken place for deliverance
from transgressions under the first covenant,
those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance.

Sequence

Lauda Sion

Laud, O Zion, your salvation,
Laud with hymns of exultation,
Christ, your king and shepherd true:

Bring him all the praise you know,
He is more than you bestow.
Never can you reach his due.

Special theme for glad thanksgiving
Is the quick’ning and the living
Bread today before you set:

From his hands of old partaken,
As we know, by faith unshaken,
Where the Twelve at supper met.

Full and clear ring out your chanting,
Joy nor sweetest grace be wanting,
From your heart let praises burst:

For today the feast is holden,
When the institution olden
Of that supper was rehearsed.

Here the new law’s new oblation,
By the new king’s revelation,
Ends the form of ancient rite:

Now the new the old effaces,
Truth away the shadow chases,
Light dispels the gloom of night.

What he did at supper seated,
Christ ordained to be repeated,
His memorial ne’er to cease:

And his rule for guidance taking,
Bread and wine we hallow, making
Thus our sacrifice of peace.

This the truth each Christian learns,
Bread into his flesh he turns,
To his precious blood the wine:

Sight has fail’d, nor thought conceives,
But a dauntless faith believes,
Resting on a pow’r divine.

Here beneath these signs are hidden
Priceless things to sense forbidden;
Signs, not things are all we see:

Blood is poured and flesh is broken,
Yet in either wondrous token
Christ entire we know to be.

Whoso of this food partakes,
Does not rend the Lord nor breaks;
Christ is whole to all that taste:

Thousands are, as one, receivers,
One, as thousands of believers,
Eats of him who cannot waste.

Bad and good the feast are sharing,
Of what divers dooms preparing,
Endless death, or endless life.

Life to these, to those damnation,
See how like participation
Is with unlike issues rife.

When the sacrament is broken,
Doubt not, but believe ‘tis spoken,
That each sever’d outward token
doth the very whole contain.

Nought the precious gift divides,
Breaking but the sign betides
Jesus still the same abides,
still unbroken does remain.

 The shorter form of the sequence begins here.

Lo! the angel’s food is given
To the pilgrim who has striven;
see the children’s bread from heaven,
which on dogs may not be spent.

Truth the ancient types fulfilling,
Isaac bound, a victim willing,
Paschal lamb, its lifeblood spilling,
manna to the fathers sent.

Very bread, good shepherd, tend us,
Jesu, of your love befriend us,
You refresh us, you defend us,
Your eternal goodness send us
In the land of life to see.

You who all things can and know,
Who on earth such food bestow,
Grant us with your saints, though lowest,
Where the heav’nly feast you show,
Fellow heirs and guests to be. Amen. Alleluia.

Alleluia

Jn 6:51

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven,
says the Lord;
whoever eats this bread will live forever.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel

Mk 14:12-16, 22-26

On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread,
when they sacrificed the Passover lamb,
Jesus’ disciples said to him,
“Where do you want us to go
and prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
He sent two of his disciples and said to them,
“Go into the city and a man will meet you,
carrying a jar of water.
Follow him.
Wherever he enters, say to the master of the house,
‘The Teacher says, “Where is my guest room
where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”‘
Then he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready.
Make the preparations for us there.”
The disciples then went off, entered the city,
and found it just as he had told them;
and they prepared the Passover.
While they were eating,
he took bread, said the blessing,
broke it, gave it to them, and said,
“Take it; this is my body.”
Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them,
and they all drank from it.
He said to them,
“This is my blood of the covenant,
which will be shed for many.
Amen, I say to you,
I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine
until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
Then, after singing a hymn,
they went out to the Mount of Olives.”

Your money will be worthless. You will need then to survive the way of the jungle – Seeds to grow your own food will mean more to you than a million dollars

The Book of Truth:

My beloved daughter, concentrate and listen to what I have to say. You are now in the throes of a transition, from the time you received the first Message, to the present ones. Please understand that these Messages are coming from Me and please stop your doubts, now. This will enable you to concentrate on the Work, for which you have been called.

In relation to matters, which are occurring in the world, it is now becoming clearer by the day what the evil World Order are trying to inflict on the world. The United Nations, one of the many fronts for this New World Order, are trying to stamp out all My Teachings and will use every lethal weapon at their disposal to do this.

Fear not, because My believers will fight hard and will not deny Me, especially in those countries which are consecrated to Me and who have a devout and unshakable faith. They will not stand back and allow this. But for many, because of the costs involved in ensuring that their children are guided in the Light, they will be powerless.

As explained to you before, the Wrath of My Eternal Father is about to be shown on the Earth, as man inches nearer and nearer in their attempts to disown Me.

The world looks the same. People seem the same. The world of television, with its rose-tinted appeal, seems the same. People bury their heads in the sand. They think that the world will continue as it is. Sadly, they are mistaken.

My duty ,to My children, is to save you. Not to allow you continue to be sucked into an empty vacuum of promises, empty dreams and false ambitions. These are the pleasures to which you gave allegiance for many, many years. These are the promises that those of you, through no fault of your own, were convinced was the path to follow for self-worth. Self-gain. Self-reward. You were told to look after number one, whatever the cost, the number one -being you. You, with your ambitions, lust for wealth for yourself and your children, desire to become better than your brothers and sisters, and a constant relentless quest for self-acclaim, were fooled.

These ambitions were fed to My children, through the appeal and gloss of these ambitions, by the deceiver. Many of My children will laugh at this Message and say that this is not true. Unfortunately, the deceiver exists and most of My children do not accept that he does.

He is cunning, in that he hides behind things, people, acts and appealing incentives. His glamorous allure, means that today, if you ask a person, which they would accept – money, or a chance to reunite with their lost families – and they will opt for money. Ask another if they would betray their brother or sister for material gain, and the answer will be yes. Ask a young child if they would trade their simple life for a life of wonder and excitement, and the answer will be yes.

Why then do My children find it hard to understand that once the grand prize has been awarded to them do they then feel they need more and more? A wealthy man who gains once, will constantly continue to attain more. The reason for this is that Satan’s gifts leave a raw, empty feeling inside you, that you do not understand. So you continue in your quest to seek out more and it is usually at the expense of the welfare of your neighbour. No man gains huge wealth without the people he met on the way suffering to some degree. No person, who gains fame, will get there, unless someone else has had to do without. A man that does not share his wealth is doomed. A person who has nothing tends to share more than those who have been blessed with material comforts.

My Teachings cannot be watered down
Why do My children ignore these Teachings, taught by My apostles, since the new Scriptures were produced? Why do they not heed the doctrine they contain? Do they believe that they were written by My disciples, so that people would not listen? These Teachings have not changed, since I left this Earth. They are there for a reason. You can change their interpretation, water it down, add new meaning, or delete some parts, but one thing will remain. And that is the Truth. The Truth will always stay the same. It cannot and will not be changed to suit mankind. Heed this now. Sit up and listen. You cannot expect to follow this route and enter My Father’s Kingdom. Many of you justify the wealth and glory you gain and attribute this to luck. What you may not realise is that many of you sold your souls to the evil one in the process.

Some of My children do know that they have committed this grave sin and think nothing of it. Others genuinely believe that they are simply doing the best for themselves and their families, but they must understand that financial security is acceptable; quest for luxury and wealth is not.

The reality is that vast amounts of wealth are gained through sin. Wealth that may be gained, without sin, will lead to sin.

Despite the Teachings of My Father’s Church, throughout the world, people still do not accept My Teachings. Wealthy people, who strive for material gain, have one God. Poor people, who strive for wealth, have one God. They are both the same. Money. Money is useless, if it is acquired dishonestly, and where those less fortunate do not benefit from the experience.

Money, material wealth and all good things, gained by those people who consider themselves fortunate, must be shared among those who need it. Money given away to charity is meaningless, if it is done in order to seek glory or attention.

Be assured that with the evil that is being planned, now, in the world, when the desire to leave you with empty pockets becomes a reality, only then will you realise how little value money holds. When they, the evil entity, take over your money and render you powerless to touch it, without agreeing to their terms, then you will finally realise that you will need an alternative route to happiness.

Your money will be worthless. You will need then to survive the way of the jungle. Those with survival instincts will find it easier than those who never had to work on their bended

knees before. Seeds to grow your own food will mean more to you than a million dollars. A simple fruit will mean more to you than a flashy car. Because when you are stripped bare, you will call out to your Maker, your Creator. It is then and only then, you will realise that all that matters is the love in your heart. Because without love you cannot grow, nor can you enter My Father’s Kingdom.

Think now. Be careful in your quest for wealth. Stop now before it is too late. Share and divide and follow My path. This is a tough lesson for My children who feel a sense of insecurity.

Your beloved Saviour
Jesus Christ”

IS 29:17-24

Thus says the Lord GOD:
But a very little while,
and Lebanon shall be changed into an orchard,
and the orchard be regarded as a forest!
On that day the deaf shall hear
the words of a book;
And out of gloom and darkness,
the eyes of the blind shall see.
The lowly will ever find joy in the LORD,
and the poor rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
For the tyrant will be no more
and the arrogant
will have gone;
All who are alert to do evil
will be cut off,
those whose mere word condemns a man,

Who ensnare his defender at the gate,
and leave the just man with an empty claim.
Therefore thus says the LORD,
the God of the house of Jacob,
who redeemed Abraham:
Now Jacob shall have nothing to be ashamed of,
nor shall his face grow pale.
When his children see
the work of my hands in his midst,
They shall keep my name holy;
they shall reverence the Holy One of Jacob,
and be in awe of the God of Israel.
Those who err in spirit shall acquire understanding,

“7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke the word of God to you; consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. 9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings; for it is well for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by regulations about food,[a] which have not benefited those who observe them. 10 We have an altar from which those who officiate in the tent[b] have no right to eat. 11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. 12 Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the city gate in order to sanctify the people by his own blood. 13 Let us then go to him outside the camp and bear the abuse he endured. 14 For here we have no lasting city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. 15 Through him, then, let us continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name. 16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions, and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Watchful Slaves

35 “Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; 36 be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks. 37 Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down to eat, and he will come and serve them. 38 If he comes during the middle of the night, or near dawn, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.

39 “But know this: if the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he[a] would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.”

4 For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, provided it is received with thanksgiving; 5 for it is sanctified by God’s word and by prayer.

A Good Minister of Jesus Christ

6 If you put these instructions before the brothers and sisters,[a] you will be a good servant[b] of Christ Jesus, nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound teaching that you have followed. 7 Have nothing to do with profane myths and old wives’ tales. Train yourself in godliness, 8 for, while physical training is of some value, godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

16 Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and your hearers.

19 When the scribes and chief priests realized that he had told this parable against them, they wanted to lay hands on him at that very hour, but they feared the people.

The Question about Paying Taxes

20 So they watched him and sent spies who pretended to be honest, in order to trap him by what he said, so as to hand him over to the jurisdiction and authority of the governor. 21 So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and you show deference to no one, but teach the way of God in accordance with truth. 22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?” 23 But he perceived their craftiness and said to them, 24 “Show me a denarius. Whose head and whose title does it bear?” They said, “The emperor’s.” 25 He said to them, “Then give to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” 26 And they were not able in the presence of the people to trap him by what he said; and being amazed by his answer, they became silent.”

„… Despite the Teachings of My Father’s Church, throughout the world, people still do not accept My Teachings. Wealthy people, who strive for material gain, have one God. Poor people, who strive for wealth, have one God. They are both the same. Money. Money is useless, if it is acquired dishonestly, and where those less fortunate do not benefit from the experience.

Money, material wealth and all good things, gained by those people who consider themselves fortunate, must be shared among those who need it. Money given away to charity is meaningless, if it is done in order to seek glory or attention.

Be assured that with the evil that is being planned, now, in the world, when the desire to leave you with empty pockets becomes a reality, only then will you realise how little value money holds. When they, the evil entity, take over your money and render you powerless to touch it, without agreeing to their terms, then you will finally realise that you will need an alternative route to happiness.

Your money will be worthless. You will need then to survive the way of the jungle. Those with survival instincts will find it easier than those who never had to work on their bended.”
