“And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. And Simon's wife's mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell Jesus of her. And coming to her, He lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to Him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils. And all the city was gathered together at the door. And He healed many that were troubled with divers diseases; and He cast out many devils, and He suffered them not to speak, because they knew Him. And rising very early, going out, He went into a desert place: and there He prayed. And Simon, and they that were with Him, followed after Him. And when they had found Him, they said to Him: All seek for Thee. And He saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come. And He was preaching in their synagogues, and in all Galilee, and casting out devils.” ‭‭ My dearest beloved brethren, after Jesus had driven out the demons from those who were possessed, He commanded the demons “not to speak, because they knew Him.” The demons knew who Jesus was. The demons knew that Jesus was the one who torments them. They were afraid of Jesus and did not want Jesus to be around them. In that same vein, demons recognize everyone who has Christ in him or her and just like they are afraid of Jesus, demons are also afraid of the true believers, worshippers, and adorers of Christ. God gave Christ’s children the power and authority to drive out demons just like Christ Himself. Demons cannot possess Christ and demons cannot possess those who have submitted themselves and their lives to worshiping God in truth. Demons strive in possessing those who in one way or the other dine with Satan and those who have compromised their faith. I pray Lord to grant us the Grace to remain faithful to God and the Grace to continue to strongly stay with, and worship the Lord in truth so that the authority God bestowed upon us over demons will not depart from us, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen. With you and Christ on one side and Satan and his evil agents on the other side, your consistent daily prayers build an impenetrable rock-solid wall between you (you and Christ) and Satan (Satan and his evil agents), dear true and faithful children of Christ Jesus. Prayer is everything to Christ’s children. Prayer is the source of our power and authority over Satan and mundane distractions. Prayer is our shield which is why Satan is afraid of God’s children. Prayer cements our relationship with God. When we stay away from sins and we pray to God, He answers all our prayers that He knows are for our own good and He answers them when the time is ripe. Today’s Bible reading tells us that after Jesus had performed some miracles and driven out demons, “He went into a desert place: and there He prayed.” (Mk 1‬:‭35‬). So even Jesus who is God, who has power over everything and over everyone, still doesn’t fail to pray to the Father in Heaven. Christ has shown us the power of prayer and we need to follow His footsteps. I pray Lord to grant us the Grace of praying always and the Grace to make prayers the foundations of our lives, today and every day of our lives, through the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray. Amen. Be courageous and fearless in the Lord; for God is with you. You’re blessed; remain blessed!!!

“And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to Jesus: I will follow Thee withersoever Thou goest. Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head. But He said to another: Follow Me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go, and to bury my father. And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou, and preach the kingdom of God. And another said: I will follow Thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house. Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” ‭‭ My dearest beloved brethren, for one to be enthusiastic and have good desires to follow Jesus, is important, but not enough. Decision and implementation must follow. Are we those who start well, but if the going gets tough we retreat? Is our following of Jesus conditional on things going smoothly for us? Jesus says that such approach will not be enough and will not catapult us into the kingdom of Heaven. When we decide to follow Christ, we must keep for ourselves some inner strengths to keep and sustain our decisions. I ask Jesus to give us His daily strength and the Grace NOT to look back as we follow Him and the Grace and strength to sustain our efforts and followership of Him, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen. Despite the challenges of this world and all the worldly distractions, you have chosen to stay with Jesus and your commitment is what it takes for God to shoot you into the Kingdom of heaven, dear faithful followers of Christ. Jesus said to one of the people who wanted to follow Him wherever He went: “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head.” (Lk 9‬:‭58‬). The place for one to lay his head, a house, bed and pillows, shelter of any kind and so on, are all things that give one comfort and relaxation and places for one to rest and sleep soundly. Jesus didn’t have any of those, He let the man know. That invariably means that to follow Jesus demands sacrifices and some discomfort, which means that whoever wants to follow Christ must not be looking much at worldly things that make people comfortable. Not even our family members and loved ones should come between us and Jesus. Therefore, following Jesus should be total and all-or-nothing. I pray Lord to grant us the Grace to completely submit ourselves and our lives to following Christ, serving God, doing God’s works, succumbing to God’s WILL, and obeying God’s commandments, today and everyday of our lives, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray. Amen. Be courageous and fearless in the Lord; for God is with you. You’re blessed; remain blessed!!!

“Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan, unto John, to be baptized by him. But John stayed Him, saying: I ought to be baptized by Thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said to him: Suffer it to be so now. For so it becometh us to fulfill all justice. Then He suffered him. And Jesus being baptized forthwith came out of the water: and lo, the heavens were opened to Him: and He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon Him. And behold a voice from heaven, saying: This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” ‭‭ My dearest beloved brethren, John the Baptist who was the forerunner of Jesus Christ, saw himself not worthy by any measure to be near Jesus whom he knew is the Messiah, the Savior everyone was waiting for. It was not surprising therefore that when Jesus wanted John the Baptist to baptize Him, John the Baptist went over the divinity of Jesus in his head and thought that Jesus should rather baptize him instead of the other way. John the Baptist knew that he was but an ant before the Lord. He knew that Jesus is all-knowing, the supreme being, the Second person of the Holy Trinity, the one who has authority and power over everyone and over everything and over the whole world. John the Baptist couldn’t see himself getting near to this God the Son who was sent by God the Father Almighty and he was shaken by Jesus’ request. I pray Lord to grant us the Grace of humility for us to understand that we are but ordinary dust before the Lord, and for us to acknowledge the omnipotence and the omnipresence of our Lord Jesus and to love, honor, and adore Him all the time, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen. Heavens acknowledged Jesus and presented Him to the world to come to save the world. You accepted Him and you’re following Him. The same God the Father who sent Jesus appreciates you because you embraced His own, dear children of God. Today’s Bible reading says: “And Jesus being baptized, forthwith came out of the water: and lo, the heavens were opened to Him: and He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon Him. And behold a voice from heaven, saying: This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” ‭‭(Mt‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬). The same Spirit of God descending from heaven as a dove after Jesus’ baptism, also descends upon every human being when we are baptized because we are made in the image of Christ. The voice from heaven is the voice of God the Father. During our baptism, God the Father speaks the same words and announces that we are His beloved children in whom He is well pleased. The point is that Jesus, after His baptism, spent His life preaching the Words of God and telling people about the Kingdom of God. He would rather die than associate Himself with anything unjust or evil and actually, the evil world persecuted and killed Him. When we are baptized, we are given the grace to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Are we following in those footsteps even if it means our death? Do we out of fear or mundane threats compromise our followership of Christ? I pray Lord to hold us tight and grant us the Grace to remain true believers and worshippers of God, today and every day of our lives, through the Mighty Name of our Lord, Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray. Amen. Be courageous and fearless in the Lord; for God is with you. You’re blessed; remain blessed!!!

2 ND PILGRIMAGE MESSAGE OF THE SECOND LESSON 24 TH JULY, 1997(9:00 PM) ST. JOSEPH’S PARISH CHAPEL, OLO In our novena prayer with Mass and adoration, I saw, in a vision, Our Lord Jesus Christ hanging on the Cross on a mountain. Blood flowed out from the Wounds of His Body. Then Our Lord wept bitterly. Within a short time, cloud covered the whole mountain. The Holy Face appeared with numerous Cherubim. He kept silent at first and was in a great agony. Then He said: “My loving children, keep your root strong in My holy Church. Obey her teachings and live a holy life. Confess your sins to My Priests and prepare yourselves always for the working of My Spirit. Live in the fullness of love and offer your lives for My service. Hold firm your faith. Help to rebuild the Temple for My sake; I say to you, never fight the flesh, never; I say, never attack the Temple of the Spirit. If you do, the Father will judge you. Pray and ask the Father for Divine Wisdom in My Name; I say to you, pray for wisdom. The Spirit gives wisdom to the humble and teaches them Divine ways. I shed My Blood so that your eyes will be opened through the Holy Spirit of My promise. My Precious Blood is the power of the Holy Spirit. Children, whenever you call upon My Precious Blood with all your heart and with love, the Holy Ghost will come and abide in you. Call upon My Precious Blood and be filled with power. My children, the gate will be opened, the way of life will be made known, but only a few will follow it at first. When the door is about to close, the flock will rush to enter. But time will be over. Who will save them? And what shall be their hope? My children, practise the devotion to My Precious Blood now. I say to you pray now that there is time. Inform others to join you in your devotional life now that there is time. Let all who love Me pray much and console Me. Many people come here but their hearts are far from Me. When shall they know this truth? When will their hearts and their eyes open to this great favour? Many will regret at last. Join and make this devotion holy. Pray, pray, console Me. I love you. Show Me love so that you will have nothing to regret. Barnabas, receive the questions from your people. I will allow you to ask them and I will answer you. He who judges shall be judged. Know the Good Shepherd, listen to His alarm and run for your lives. My children, I say, pray that My flock will hear the voice of the Good Shepherd and run for their lives. Those who love Me and adore My Precious Blood will not be lost. My Precious Blood will save them. Barnabas, many will not understand this message, pray for them. I love you all. I bless you all.” Immediately, the vision passed. A great Cross appeared in the cloud. I looked at it for sometime and came back to myself.

“On the following day, Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and He findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him: Follow Me. Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him: We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth. And Nathanael said to him: Can any thing of good come from Nazareth? Philip saith to him: Come and see. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him: and He saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile. Nathanael saith to Him: Whence knowest Thou me? Jesus answered, and said to him: Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. Nathanael answered Him, and said: Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God, Thou art the King of Israel. Jesus answered, and said to him: Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest: greater things than these shalt thou see. And He saith to him: Amen, amen I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.” ‭‭ My dearest beloved brethren, today’s Bible reading focuses on our calls to Christianity, for us to accept Christ and make friends with Him. As Jesus calls us to join Him and be with Him, I pray that we be blessed with the grace to listen to Him and hear His calls to us and then use His Words to have personal relationships with God in Heaven, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen. Jesus called you and you listened, answered, and followed Him. Since you have chosen to remain with the Lord, may the Lord stay and remain with you all through your life on earth and in your next life in Heaven, dear God’s beloved children. Jesus’ call to Philip was direct. Jesus found Philip and called him to follow Him and Philip did. On the other hand, Jesus’ call to Nathanael was indirect because the call had to be mediated by Philip. Remember that Jesus saw Nathanael under the fig tree but did not call him. Jesus could have called Nathanael at that time but He didn’t. Instead, the Lord Jesus waited for Philip to invite Nathanael to come and see Jesus. All these tell us that there are many ways the Lord can give us invitation to come to Him. Sometimes how we receive the Lord’s calls to us may be without drama but simple ‘yes’ on our part. Sometimes we may hesitate at first but eventually we come to terms with the reality that the Lord is inviting us to come to Him so that He will introduce us to God the Father who is in heaven. May our places in Heaven be secure and may neither our souls nor the souls of any of our loved ones be lost today or at any time in our lives, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray. Amen. Be courageous and fearless in the Lord; for God is with you. You’re blessed; remain blessed!!!

FIRST MESSAGE OF THE FIRST LESSON DATE: 14TH APRIL, 1997 TIME: 9:30 PM VENUE: PARISH CHAPEL, OLO TOPIC: THE LAST FIGHT BEFORE THE CHASTISEMENT After our usual adoration Mass, I saw in a vision Our Lord Jesus Christ coming down from the cloud, holding a sword in His Right Hand and a crucifix in the left and with His multitude of Angels. I saw the great Beast and a large number of people who were worshipping him. Suddenly, there was lightning and thunder; the whole world shook and was covered with darkness at once. Within a short-time, a bright cloud appeared, and then the Holy Face with the Crown of Thorns on the Head came out and said: “My children, this fight is the last fight before The Great Chastisement comes. Heaven as well as this earth, is waiting for the salvation, which My Father will give to the world. My children, you are in the Warfield. You are fighting the Red Army of this world, Satan, the enemy of My Death on the Cross. You are fighting also the Dragon that has sent his agents against you. Stand firm, wear all your armour, hold your sword and move out into the battlefield, fight and win the battle”. “My children, remember that you are fighting against the evil spirits in the atmospheric world, in this biospheric world and even those who are living in the hydrospheric world. Be careful how you live now, never allow them to conquer you with their secret plans. Pray often and never give up. Live a simple and humble life; and you will conquer the Red Dragon and his agents. I am with you. I fight for you. I bless you all.” SECOND MESSAGE OF THE FIRST LESSON DATE: 16TH JUNE, 2000 TIME: 1:00 AM VENUE: OUR LADY OF LOURDES PARISH CHAPEL, IMEZI OWA TOPIC: I AM OPENING THE OCEAN OF MY BLOOD THIS MONTH FOR MERCY AND SALVATION. THE PRECIOUS MINUTE IS PASSING AWAY In my preparatory prayer for the retreat I had planned for Oturkpo diocese, I saw the vision of the Agonizing Jesus Christ on the Cross bleeding. He gazed at me steadily, and calmly said: “MY SON, THE PRECIOUS MINUTES ARE PASSING AWAY, the terrible day is fast approaching. On that day men will regret any precious second not well-utilized. I plead with you My loving children to make use of your precious moments. KEEP EVERY SECOND OF YOUR LIFE HOLY AND UTILIZE IT WELL. These seconds are precious. You cannot get them again the moment they pass. Be it known to you My son, that I am passing through My agonizing seconds. I am losing My loved ones, those I have redeemed with My Blood. I am looking for someone to console Me, but find none. As the days are running out, I find you. I recognized you as My chosen. I was happy to see you again. Son, but even now the precious moments are passing without being utilized. MANY ARE GETTING LOST, BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE TO PRAY FOR THEM, TO TEACH THEM THE WAY, AND TO SHOW THEM THE LIGHT. You have kept My warnings and My appeal to the world sealed with you, while the precious seconds are passing away. And you will not see them again. My son, I chose you to be a fisher of souls. Have My Heart consoled through your effort of saving souls. I am looking forward to the day when My agonizing seconds will become joyful seconds. On that day, all who suffered with the Son of Man will reign with Him forever. Barnabas, why are you delaying My teaching to the world? Clearly, write out the inspiration I gave you in the desert and submit it to Rev. Fr. Christopher Enem for the Nihil – Obstat, after final editing by your spiritual director. Then, give it to Rev. Sr. Fidelia Omuta who will send it to your Bishop. The source will not be disclosed to him but the truth will be revealed to him when you meet him and inform him. Then, you will publish it and make it known to the whole world. The title will be: “THE LIVING SANCTUARY IN OUR SOUL – THE GREAT SEAL”. These things shall be done before the second call of reparation. Know you that the precious seconds are passing away. I have seen your little effort towards the making of the crucifix. I will give you the date of the second reparation on 25th of this month. I will explain the Programme during your novenas of the month of July. The precious time is passing away. Do not delay as before, I plead with you again. Inform My people of the great novena of the month of July. Let it be done in families, in groups and in the Church. I have chosen the month of July to be a great month for My Precious Blood. I am opening the ocean of My Blood in this month for mercy and salvation. I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ, the Spotless Lamb. I love you. I bless you.” Instantly, the vision passed. THIRD MESSAGE OF THE FIRST LESSON DATE: 14TH DEC, 2001 TIME: TIME: 12 MIDNIGHT VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: SON, THESE UNFORTUNATE SINNERS ARE THE CAUSE OF MY AGONY In my prayer during this hour, I saw a vision of the Holy Agonizing Face of Jesus Christ, Who calmly said: “My son, I recall with great agony the cause of My Three Falls under a heavy cross as My Birthday anniversary approaches. I recall the eternal damnation that awaits the great multitude of unfortunate sinners who would be damned for their sins. Even now, great is the number of unlucky sinners who are lost forever. If My people will know and turn back to Me, I will be consoled. (Silence) Son, these unfortunate sinners are the cause of My most painful agony in the garden. I sweated Blood because of them. I saw the multitude of sinners who will still get lost after My sacrifice of Blood. I fainted because My hope had gone. These weary thoughts filled My already wounded Heart: Whom then did I lay down My life to save, since all these souls will be lost? What need is there for Me to pour out My Blood? What need is there for Me to lay down My Body to be tortured? Son, these thoughts weighed Me down. I fainted. I sweated blood for them to be saved. As I carried My cross to Calvary, the enemy showed Me a large number of My lovers; those who will suffer much for My sake and will later fall and be damned forever. Their number is too much. I remembered, how much they will suffer for My sake; the rough road they will pass; and how they will give up just near the gate of Heaven, the gate of Salvation, and of rest. Their future agony weighed Me down. I fell the first time. The Angel who consoled Me at Gethsemane called Me; Emmanuel, Do not despair. See the little doves who shall benefit from Your Death. They shall help to strengthen the faith of these fallen lovers.” I saw you and was consoled. Your names, which I heard the Angel call, motivated Me to carry My cross and continue My journey of salvation. On the way, the enemy made Me see My holy Church at the point when a large number of My flock will pull out of its fold to establish false churches. Seeing the large number of the worshippers of these false churches and their eternal damnation, My hope ceased again, I fell the second time. There, under the Cross, I heard the voice of the Angel calling: “Emmanuel! Take heart for the sake of Your little martyrs who will pour their blood for Your sake and for the sake of Your Church; wake up. Look at Your little martyrs. They will suffer for Your Church. Through their holy sweat and blood, Your Church will be refined; through their martyrdom, the lost sheep will come back.” I looked and saw the victim souls like Mine and took courage. My journey continued. Before I climbed up the hill of Golgotha, the enemy showed Me a large number of My lovers who will be lost because of the sins of the flesh. Their number was three times that of the ones I saw before. Worse still and more painful, I saw those hopeless lost souls coming from My Priests and those who will dedicate their lives as religious. These groups of My lovers are My future hope of chastity in the world. Seeing these lovers of Mine who will join the world of sin and be damned, I collapsed in agony and shame. I fell the third time. The same Angel of Comfort came and called Me again: “Emmanuel! Look at these little lilies of Yours. See, many of them will be martyred for the sake of chastity. As their blood sprinkles the rotten world, it will turn to be the seeds of virgins to occupy the earth. Through the sufferings of these little lilies, and their holy tears, your Priests and Religious will return to chaste and holy life. Take heart, Emmanuel. For the sake of Your little lilies in your Bloody way, wake up.” I looked and saw My little lilies and took courage. I continued My journey of salvation. On Calvary, the enemy made the Jewish soldiers strip Me naked. This shameful act combined with what I saw during the third fall, multiplied My agony. In great agony and sorrow, I offered to My Father the poor sinners who will be lost due to the sins of the flesh using the prayer I taught you: “The prayer against the sins of the flesh” as it is titled. (Silence) Son, see all I suffered for the sake of the poor sinners who will be lost. See, you are My only hope and joy. Son, I hope I will not miss you? May I never miss you. May these little souls, which bear much of My agony, remain for Me to possess My everlasting peace and have My consolation. My victim lovers help Me to call back My lost sheep. I say, help and call sinners back to Me. I hope you will respond to My call for help. This is the only gift I demand from My Lovers for My birthday. Anyone who offers Me this gift as My Birthday gift in the years to come will obtain from Me the grace of perseverance. I will give him My Peace. Son, remember that I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ Who called you to be My consolers. I love you all. I bless you all.” Immediately the vision passed. FIRST MESSAGE OF THE SECOND LESSON DATE: 13TH, JULY 1999 TIME: 10:00 PM VENUE: NOVENA CENTRE, OLO TOPIC: YOU ARE CALLED TO PRAY AND WEDGE THE WRATH OF THE ETERNAL FATHER In our adoration-prayer, I saw a vision of Our Lady holding the Crown of Thorns in her hands. As she was coming down, a chalice with a Host on top of it appeared in the cloud. The Host radiated Divine rays, which gave out light in darkness. Our Lady came closer and humbly said: “My children remain in the peace from Heaven. I am the Mother of the Agonizing Jesus Christ. I come to share with you a message of love and give you a gift very dear to the Agonizing Jesus Christ. Take today this Crown of Thorns with which the world crowned the Sacred Head of my Son, Jesus Christ. This is for you and all that consecrated their lives to the Agonizing Jesus Christ and to His Most Precious Blood. This is a sign of consolation and adoration to my Son. Have it on your altars and let is be blessed. My children, Jesus promises to sprinkle His Most Precious Blood anywhere this crown is laid. He said, “I will show them My Sacred Head crowned with thorns, all who have this crown and devoutly venerate My Sacred Head.” He said that He would be their light in the hour of darkness. They shall be consoled, all who console and adore the Sacred Head crowned with thorns, the Head that still wears the thorns for the love He has for His people. He said, ‘I will crown all who have this Crown of Thorns as an act of consolation and adoration to the Agonizing Jesus Christ with a victorious crown adorned with twelve stars’. Children, have it and console my Agonizing Son. Pray, pray, pray harder my children. Pray harder and never give up.” YOU ARE CALLED TO PRAY My Son called you so as to pray to wedge the wrath of the Eternal Father. He called you, so that, through your prayers and reparation, the Father will grant mercy to the whole world and renew the face of the earth. But you did not respond fully to the call. You are waiting to see what will befall humanity. Wake up my children and change your ways. Heaven warns you to pray and not to wait for destruction. It will be better that the wrath of the Eternal Father is wedged than to allow the anger of God to fall. If His anger descends, who shall be saved? I say, who will survive? This motivated Jesus Christ to come and give you this holy devotion, so that you may call His Blood and calm down the wrath of the Eternal Father. Pray always. Make known to the public all that you have privately heard and felt. Children, edit all the messages that Heaven gave you and be happy. Because you have not edited the messages, Heaven seized from you the full Reparation Prayer. This is the cause of not writing it well. When you edit the messages, the Spirit of Truth will be with you and fill you. You will know the missing words and complete it. Children, after the 31st of this month of July, Jesus will no longer give you any public message for this devotion. He will give you the fullness of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit will lead you into the full knowledge of this devotion. If He does not leave you, you will not spiritually mature. Heaven is with you always. Children, if you edit the messages your disappointments will be less. Receive this crown. I am the Mother of the Agonizing Jesus Christ. Console Jesus. I bless you all”. Immediately, the vision passed. SECOND MESSAGE OF THE SECOND LESSON DATE: 1ST JAN. 2002 TIME: 12 NOON VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, OLO TOPIC: I APPEAL TO ALL MEN TO ENTER THE LIGHT OF MY LOVE In my prayer during this hour, I saw in a vision the holy Agonizing Face of Jesus Christ bathed with Blood. He kept silent for a while and finally said: “My son, as you enter the New Year, I call all My children to enter into the light of My love. Look! Your own eyes will see the power of blindness, having advantage over My lovers. This power of error will affect only those who subject themselves to pride.” Children, be wise to clothe yourselves with humility so that the power of pride will not affect you. Children, I have informed you before that the war has reached its climax, so, heroes are the targets. Weigh the level of humility in you always and chose the desert way, the road of the Holy Cross in time of decision. Love the cross. The love of the cross is the way to My love. My love is the light of the soul. Children, I appeal to all men to enter into the light of My love; the power of blindness will not affect you. In this year, I will prepare My lovers with all the training that will make them ready to receive the perfect Rose in the coming year. I will also spread My net through My lovers who respond, to gather My little lilies together for the manifestation of the Glorious Reign. Be wise to respond to the lessons. Children, spread this devotion all over the world and train up more virgins in the world; I appeal again! Remain in My Peace. I bless you.” Immediately, the vision passed. THIRD MESSAGE OF THE SECOND LESSON DATE: 15TH JULY 1999 TIME: 10:00 PM VENUE: NOVENA CENTRE, OLO TOPIC: IF I DO NOT LEAVE YOU, YOU WILL NOT MATURE SPIRITUALLY. In our novena prayer, I saw a vision of the Agonizing Jesus Christ hanging on the Cross. The Wounds of His Sacred Body were bleeding. As I was looking, cloud came down and covered the whole place. In the cloud, appeared the Agonizing Face of Jesus Christ, Who calmly said: “My children, peace be with you. Come closer to Me and learn from Me. I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ. Very soon! Very soon!! I will complete all I have for you. I mean for the growth of this holy call. During that time, you will not hear My words as you hear them now. I will pour in you all the fullness of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit will let you know all that I taught you from the beginning of this call. The light of the Holy Spirit will enable you to see the truth in this holy call. Your EYES and MINDS will be OPENED, to see and to know what to do. You will understand what I meant when I said; console Me, adore My Precious Blood, and make My Will known to the world. As Mother had told you, My children, if I do not leave you, you will not mature spiritually. When I said that I am leaving you, I mean that you should not expect Divine messages as you are hearing them now. You will live with these messages I am giving you now. The Spirit of light will be with you. Children, you will not be troubled because I said that I am leaving you. Remember all My promises to you and be courageous. I am with you to guard you, and direct you always. All that you need for your growth have been given to you. My Mother’s Immaculate Heart will PROTECT and My precious Blood will SAVE. Children, remember always that I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ. This is what the sins of the world made Me. REMEMBER that the Wounds on My Sacred Body are constantly bleeding for mercy so as to console the Eternal Father. Have mercy on Me. Adore My Most Precious Blood. Make constant reparation for the sins of the world. I am in great agony. Children, pray much for mercy. Pray that My Father will have mercy on the world. Offer My Most Precious Blood for the remission of the sins of the whole world. Do it always, so as to multiply the mercy of God the Father and shorten the hour of Chastisement. Children who shall stand the wrath of the Eternal Father? Pray harder and never give up. Work out your salvation. Carry your cross and patiently wait for My Glorious Reign on earth. At that time, your joy will be complete. I bless you all”. Immediately, the vision passed. FIRST MESSAGE OF THE FIRST HOUR DATE: 14TH JULY, 2005 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: THE AGONY OF A SINFUL SOUL In my prayer during this hour I saw in a vision a Saint who came down with three little Cherubim. Raising the rose flower in her right hand, the saint said: “Arise, O children of Zion. Come and embrace the Light. The Saviour is calling you to the Light. He is the light of the world; the light shining in the darkness and the darkness has no power over Him. He is the Son of God and the Son of the Virgin Mary. He has the key of salvation. I am Saint Cecelia, the servant of this great light. Friends, the Light sent me to speak to you on the agony of a soul. Dear friends, sorrow, depression, pain, loss of spiritual weight, fear, blindness and regret are the agonies of a sinful soul. Darkness covers the vision of the eyes of hope of such soul. The sweet peace of holiness has been lost due to sin because; there is a separation from the union of a great lover. Friends of the Light, sin separates souls from the true lover, Jesus Christ. Jesus who has suffered much to win your love is now wounded again. He is the crucified love who has been much wounded for love of you. And now a sinful soul has to cause more wounds to the wounds of His Heart. When a soul separates from the friendship of a true lover; the false lover, Satan, will seize the soul and poison her with all the vices of hell. That soul has exchanged the virtues of holiness. She has betrayed light for the sake of darkness. She has exchanged Jesus with Satan. He has abandoned peace to possess bitterness. In the bitterness of sorrow will such soul live till she cries out for help. Otherwise she will perish in the agony of sin and death. Dear friends of the light arise and let the fallen ones rise. Lift up your tired hand. Call on God for help, he will come quickly to save you and bless you. Your place in the city of God’s love is waiting for you to come back. Arise! Run and meet the great lover. He has come to give you peace. I am praying for you all to conquer the world. Struggle and conquer. So I leave you. Bye! Immediately, the whole vision passed. SECOND MESSAGE OF THE FIRST HOUR DATE: 15TH JULY, 2005 TIME: 3:00 PM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: HOLY MORTIFICATION THE POWER OF RESISTANCE TO SIN In my prayer during this hour, I saw in a vision, Our Lady who came with seven little Angels. She quietly said: “Peace from Heaven be with you! I am your Mother, and the Mother of Agonizing Jesus Christ. I am Mary, the refuge of sinners. I come to say these little words of love to you on this last day of the 3-days prayer in honour of the Holy Trinity. Draw nearer and hear My words. Children, I come to inform you to build up in you the power of self-control and the grace of resistance to sin by means of Holy Mortification. To resist sin, you must be a mortified man. A mortified man is the master of his senses. He has power over his senses and over his urge to act. He is the one who turns the man of the self into a spiritual man. He makes his animal man a man of grace. He is the temple of the God who lives in him. Children, the Holy Spirit is the driver of this temple. The Spirit carries him whenever He likes. The Spirit guides and controls the man of this nature. The Spirit gives him life. In these days of darkness, constant practice of mortification is your hope of survival. Children, it is a struggle, it is a war. And you are called to fight, to struggle and to conquer. Children, you can do it I encourage you. There are many like you who have done it in the past. They suffered what you are suffering now and even greater suffering than yours. With violence, faith, struggle, determination, and love they conquered. Stand up and say, “I am ready for war!” I quickly said, “I am ready for war!” “Yes”, she continued, “it is warfare. You must say no to your will many times so as to follow the will of God. You must fight the flesh and train her to obey the will and the desire of the Spirit promptly. You must crucify the desire of nature of sin in you with Christ on the Cross of salvation; so as to rise with Him to a new life. When I say crucifixion, I mean that you have to nail to the cross through mortification, your pride, and all sins that are controlling you. Children you have to die to sin so as to rise with Christ for a new life. Whoever follows Him to Calvary and dies with Him will surely rise to a new life of grace. Jesus is the life and the resurrection. He died to give life to all men. Surrender all to Him, He will give you the best. Children, your problem may be your inability to say, “No!” to your evil will. Offer me your willingness to be made willing, I will help you. I am the refuge of sinners. May the grace and the fruit of this month of July remain with you all! I am interceding for you all. I am near always. Fear not my children. So I leave you. Bye! Immediately, the vision passed. THIRD MESSAGE OF THE FIRST HOUR DATE: 20TH JULY, 2005 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: CHILDREN, I COME TO HEAL YOUR WOUNDED LOVE In my prayer during this hour, I saw Our Lord Jesus Christ hanging alive on the cross bleeding. He was weeping in deep agony due to the pain of His crucifixion. As I watched, cloud covered the whole place. In the cloud appeared the Agonizing Face of Jesus Christ who calmly said: “Peace be with you all My children! Happy to see a large number of My lovers who are eager to be My consolers. I can see many hearts turning to me in prayer and with desire to love Me in this month of July. I welcome you all into these days of grace and of blessing. I am the wounded Agonizing Jesus Christ who loves you all. Come and share My love. Children, I come to heal your wounded love and reveal to you more about My covenant of Blood between Me and you and the Father. Dear souls of Mine, where are you? The Love and your great defender is looking for you. What has happened to you? Have you been wounded so much? I come to heal you and to save you. Look up, you will see your salvation coming to save you and to heal you. Do not despair. There is hope for you. You can still conquer if you hear My voice and come. See, I have come to give you victory. I saw you when the battle was going on in your soul. Your soul is the battle ground for this Great War. My presence in you is the target of the enemy. They aimed at destroying My Temple and chasing Me away. And see, you have been wounded so much in this battle. Children, renounce the world, the self and Satan once again; stand to challenge them with the power of My name and with all the strength of your soul. I say, challenge the world and all its forces with the power of My name. Nothing is valuable in the world unless it takes its value from Me. The glory of the world is nothing if it does not take a soul to the glory of Heaven and brings true peace to the soul of the flesh. I say challenge the flesh with the power of My name and through the strength of Holy Mortification. Victory will be yours in My Name. Children say no to the voice of sin in you and have your soul at peace. You are precious to Me. And see, I have shed my Blood to save you. How can I bear the pain of losing you? Losing you My children is so bitter. My Heart burns for love of you. I cannot control the flame of love in My Heart for you. I am willing to die for love of you again and again. Children, My love for you caused Me to die a most shameful death on the cross. May this love touch your heart to appreciate the love and at least say with all your heart; “My Jesus, I love you”. I will like that so much. And I will increase My love in you. So I bless you in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit, Amen! Immediately, the vision passed. FIRST MESSAGE OF THE SECOND HOUR DATE: 21ST JULY, 2005 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: THE PRINCE AND A POOR SLAVE GIRL Today, being the second day of the twelve-day prayer for the good of the whole world, I had a vision of the agonizing Jesus Christ who calmly said: “Children, My covenant of blood is a proof that I love you. You don’t even know how much I value you? You are My little flower. Ponder in your heart this story of love and grasp My love. “A prince of a rich king fell in love with a wretched slave girl in a certain poor village, very far from the city of this prince. At a time, the prince left to search for this poor slave girl. He found her dying of poverty and of slavery. The prince threw himself at her feet to express his desire and his love. But the poor girl paid him back with scorn. The prince abandoned all his dignity to serve the poor girl in order to win her love; but all was in vain. The prince went crazy to fight for the freedom of this poor slave girl. This fight for freedom cost him his life. He died for her to set her free. Yet, the girl did not care to love the one who died for love of her. She was ungrateful of this great love shown to her. She is mindless of this love. She did not even care to know whom the man was, she neglected all these favours to the extent of not remembering them. Children, who can you compare this girl to; each one of you is like this poor girl. This is what you are doing to Me. But I have forgiven you. I need your love now. Give it to Me, I will be satisfied. So I bless you as you come forward to love, in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit, Amen! Immediately the vision passed. SECOND MESSAGE OF THE SECOND HOUR DATE: 22ND JULY, 2005 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: MERCY, LOVE, AND FORGIVENESS FLOWS FROM THE OCEAN OF MY BLOOD In my prayer during this hour, I saw a vision of the Agonizing Jesus Christ who was hanging alive bleeding. He was silent for some time and finally said: “Children, my love is eternal. I am merciful. My Blood is a seal of everlasting covenant. Mercy, love, and forgiveness flow from the ocean of My Blood. The Blood is shed for your salvation. Children of mine do not fear to come back to Me. I am waiting for you to come back. My heart is longing to have you back. I am forgiveness and love. I value you more than your sins. That is why I died for you when you were worthless in sin. At that time death and sin were better than you. One would prefer to choose death or sin rather than to choose you. But I singled you out in the midst of odds and paid the price for your head and the debt you acquired due to your evil with My Blood. I washed away your sins and cleansed you of your odds. Children you are precious to Me. I love you so much. Why do you think that I will abandon you now that you are partially wounded with sin? No! My love for you is great! You are Children of My Heart. I need you always. Children, do not delay to come back to Me. Your delay hangs Me and tortures Me all the more. Come back to Me. Come My Heart is waiting for you to come. I am ready to forgive. I am ready to heal. I am merciful. Dear children of Mine, come and be strengthened in My love. Consider the Blood I shed for you and stand up to love. Pour your heart to Me, I will bless you with the gift of true love. I am eagerly waiting for you to come. So I bless you in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit, Amen! Remain in the peace of My love. Immediately the vision passed. THIRD MESSAGE OF THE SECOND HOUR DATE: 23RD JULY, 2005 TIME: 3:00 PM VENUE: ST. MARY’S PARISH, UDI TOPIC: RISE O LITTLE WOUNDED SOULS OF MINE, I AM HERE TO HEAL YOU In My prayer during this hour, I saw the vision of the Agonizing Jesus Christ who hung bleeding on the cross. As I was watching, cloud came down and covered the whole place. In the cloud appeared the Holy Agonizing Face of Jesus Christ who calmly said: “My children, I call on all who are living in the sorrow of their past weaknesses to come and have peace. Come dear lovers of Mine. I have forgiven you and healed you. Why can’t you forgive yourself and grow up with love? Why are you wounding your heart so much in regret of your past failures? Your weakness has humiliated you and you are to learn of My love and mercy from it. I am the wounded Agonizing Jesus Christ. Be bumble and forgive yourself. Think of Me who loves you so much. I have forgiven you and I love you more. My eyes are even more on you now because I have to care for you more tenderly. For those who are humble, they shall see their weakness and learn how to overcome it through their failure. But the proud ones will despair or get lost in sin. Your failure is not your damnation. You can fail and still rise to the highest goal. My three falls on the road to Calvary prove that after ones failure, one can still get the victorious crown. Rise, O little wounded souls of Mine, I am here to heal you. By My wounds you are healed and by My Blood you are saved. Through the merit of My Holy wounds, I will heal the wounds of your souls. I am already nursing you with My words of hope. My love is the medicine for you. My Precious Blood which sealed the everlasting covenant of this love will save you. Rise up in your bed of sorrow and receive My healing love. So I bless you in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Immediately the vision passed. FIRST MESSAGE OF THE THIRD HOUR DATE: 24TH JULY, 2005 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: ST. MARY’S PARISH, UDI TOPIC: YOU HAVE YOUR WILL TO SURRENDER FOR MY GLORY In my prayer during this hour, I saw the Agonizing Jesus Christ who calmly said: “Dear children of Mine, draw near to Me and hear My loving appeals. I am the Wounded Agonizing Jesus Christ Who loves you. You have your will to surrender for My Glory. I have no power over your will and desire. It is through this will and desires of yours that arise passion, pride, envy, avarice and all kinds of evil. You can surrender this will and desires of yours to Me and have peace. Children, you are to surrender to me all the delight of the sensuality of the flesh by denying yourself all sensible delight. I will reward you with Holy feelings of My Kingdom and with the joy of the Saints. Surrender your judgment and your respect to Me by seeing others as better than you, and by true hidden life of humility and self-abasement. I will reward you with the virtue of perfection and true peace of the soul. Barnabas, I have this appeal to My lovers so that I will possess them entirely, I want to act through them. I want to reign in them. I want to be glorified in them. So I bless you all My children, in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit, Amen! Immediately the vision passed. SECOND MESSAGE OF THE THIRD HOUR DATE: 25TH JULY, 2005 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: ST. MARY’S PARISH, UDI TOPIC: I APPEAL TO YOU TO AIM AT A HIGH LEVEL OF THE PURITY OF CONSCIENCE In my prayer during this hour, I saw the vision of the Agonizing Jesus Christ who calmly said: “My children, for the love of you and for the sake of My covenant of Precious Blood, I appeal to you to aim at a higher level of the purity of conscience. This is the angelic purity like that of a little child. Aim at this height of perfection which gives true peace and rest to the soul. You are to do this by not thinking evil of one another. I say, do not envy one another. Be happy to see the good and progress of your neighbor. Be humble to learn always in the light of holiness. Imitate the good of others with a purity of intention to be better. Do not harken to take away your neighbor’s position. Rather support him with pure intention and love. I will put you in your own position in a good time. Always see others as better than yourself and at the same time be contented with your poor positions. Love all with a free heart and be happy with everyone. I assure you that your life is in My hand. I will care for you as Mothers care for their children. No one will ever harm you because you are children of My precious Blood. You are precious in My eyes. Children, if you hear this appeal, I will heal all the wounds of your soul, and you will experience the Holy and pure tranquility that comes from serving Me. Remember that I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ who bought you with My Precious Blood. I love you. So I bless you in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Immediately the vision passed. THIRD MESSAGE OF THE THIRD HOUR DATE: 26TH JULY, 2005 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: ST. MARY’S PARISH, UDI TOPIC: DO NOT THINK OF GOING BACK TO THE WORLD OF SIN AND OF SADNESS In my prayer during this hour, I had the vision of the Agonizing Jesus Christ who calmly said” “The joy of a free soul which is equivalent to the joy of the Angels is far greater than a momentary pleasure in sin. When I say ‘free soul’, I mean the soul that left everything and followed Me. My Blood is the source of life-giving water to such a soul. My wounds are a source of healing and consolation to such a soul. My children, there is a sweetness in the purity of life which a sinful soul cannot understand. This sweetness comes from the peace which My Blood gives. Who can taste this sweetness? It is only those who are pure and simple in heart. Children, freedom I declare to you all. I mean freedom from sadness. Come out of darkness O you beloved souls. Come and taste the sweetness of salvation. I have saved you. The enemy will not see you again. Your wounded heart is healed; your sorrow is now happiness. My Blood has done all these things for you. My Blood has made you well. Do not think of going back to the world of sin and of sadness. Do not wound your heart again. Do not forget My love and mercy. Barnabas, make the feast of 14th September and 15th September open to anyone who wants to attend. Consecrate souls to Me on those days as I have told you in the past. I need souls now. The time is very short. I have not seen the fruit I expected from the choir, My Voice of Little Lilies. My Dear Saint Cecilia is working hard among them, but there is coldness in their hearts. Arise and shine that the world will see and turn to Me. Children make great what has been declared great. Be free all who have been set free. Be happy, all who had been saved. I am with you always. I am Jesus who died to save you. So I bless you all in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit, Amen! Immediately, the vision passed. FIRST MESSAGE OF THE FOURTH HOUR DATE: 27TH JULY, 2005 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: ST. MARY’S PARISH, UDI TOPIC: HOW BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO FIGHT THEIR DEFECTS AND THEIR WEAKNESS In my prayer during this hour, I had a vision of the Agonizing Jesus Christ who was hanging, bleeding on the cross. As I watched, clouds came down and covered the whole place. In the cloud appeared the Agonizing Face of Jesus Christ who calmly said: “My children, if you want to remain in Me and continue to enjoy My peace, you will daily struggle to acquire virtues. How blessed are those who fight their defects and their weakness with eagerness to be better; they will be My Saints. Virtues are acquired by being vigilant to pick up daily, the roses I drop on your way. What are the roses? These are the trials that arouse your imperfections. It is set for you to reveal your weakness. And whoever among you that will see and pluck the virtues of the roses will be My Saint. Anger is aroused for you to pick the virtues of joy, pride for you to pick humility; falsehood for you to pick truth, lust for you to pick chastity, envy for you to pick love; and many more weaknesses of yours for you to pick the opposing virtues. Children, these virtues are gains, which you will be proud to acquire every day. As many the challenges that come to you, which you are able to acquire, so are the happiness and peace that will be deposited in your heart. That also will be the brightness of your soul. Grow up every day My children and gather for yourself the merit of great advantage. My Precious Blood will strengthen you always. Remember Me always and be courageous. I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ who was scourged that you shall be healed. So I bless you, My lovers, in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Immediately the vision passed. SECOND MESSAGE OF THE FOURTH HOUR DATE: 28TH JULY, 2005 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: LET MY LOVERS RISE UP TO LOVE ME AND ALL THEIR IMPERFECTIONS WILL DISAPPEAR In my prayer during this hour, I saw in a vision Our Lord being stripped naked as the soldiers dragged Him to nail Him to the cross. The vision lasted for a while, and then the cloud came down and covered the whole place. In the cloud appeared the Agonizing Face of Jesus Christ who calmly said: “I am searching for your heart, my dear lovers. I am searching to win your heart for Myself. I want that heart of yours to love Me. If only My love will capture yours, all these imperfections of yours will disappear. Can I have it, My lovers? You say you love Me; but your heart is far from Me. See all I suffered for you. Barnabas, you saw Me naked and dragged mercilessly in the sight of the world. I am not ashamed of dying for you because I am bound by love. I mean My love for you. But today, My lovers are ashamed to prove their love for Me. They did not even love Me; they are merely moved by the sentiments of their self-love. I cannot even see in their hearts a concern for My love for them. All I can see is the evil of their animal man. O when will my lovers see the Blood poured out for the love of them and love! Indeed, I poured My Blood only to win your love for Me and My Father. What else will I do for you to be worthy of your love? Shall I die again for you? But truly, you should know that I am already dying for you. And you are daily crucifying Me for lack of your love for Me. On the day when My lovers will raise love My, I will be most happy and My kingdom will manifest in their hearts and in the world. I will repeat to My adversary: “Truly, I have conquered the world”. Children will you not like Me to say those words? I answered, “Father, we really want you to say them”. Then Our Lord said: “Stand up and love Me.” “And for this reason, I charge all My youths to enter into a campaign of purity and chastity in the world. Move into the world and preach purity and chastity. Preach chastity in schools and in the markets. Win My lovers back to me. I want them now. I want their love. Barnabas, if you start a crusade of purity in the universities starting with your own, I will be happy. I will bless every effort of yours in doing this. I will gain much from it. My appeal remains, let My lovers rise up to love Me and all their imperfections will disappear. Come lovers, I bless you all in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit Amen. Immediately, the vision passed. THIRD MESSAGE OF THE FOURTH HOUR DATE: 29TH JULY, 2005 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: YOU SHOULD NOT SAY THAT YOU LOVE ME UNTIL YOU TASTED THE SWEET CHALICE OF LOVE In my prayer during this hour, I saw in a vision the Agonizing Jesus Christ who was bleeding. He gently and calmly said: “Children, I will be sure of your love only when I see that you can prove this love in the time of difficulties, trials and when despised. Many say to Me, “I love you Lord” but their hearts do not possess any flame of love. In the heart that really loves, there is a burning flame of love which cannot be extinguished neither by joy nor sadness, victory nor defeat, praise nor persecution. Their love will always flame like the sun which remains a burning flame either during the day or at the night. When the cloud of coldness covers, there is no coldness in the heart that truly loves. “Children, you should not say that you love Me until this sweet chalice of Mine that taste bitter in your mouth, begins to taste sweet to you. I mean the sweet chalice, which I so much cherish. I mean the sweet cross of love. Until these crosses of yours taste sweet, you cannot say that you love. My true lovers are friends of the cross. They are known as the cross-bearers. Their hearts will not find rest each day, until they have been drunk to their satisfaction, with the Chalice of My love. I mean the Chalice of their daily crosses. The day I fail to offer them enough crosses, they regard that day as a bad day. They say to their soul, “this day I did not give you a full meal, O my poor soul, because I cannot find any more for you. Be calm, perhaps, tomorrow the Lord will supply them in abundance.” This is the desire of the souls that really love. Children, I will like to see you at this level of love. This is what My Saint gave Me in the past. I need it now. I will make a great Saint of you. Do you want to be one of My holy Ones? May your soul really love Me. So I bless you all whom I called and they followed Me in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit, Amen! Immediately, the vision passed. FIRST MESSAGE OF THE FIFTH HOUR DATE: 30TH JULY, 2005 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: LOVE THAT THEY MAY LOVE THE LOVE WHO GREATLY DESIRES TO BE LOVED BY MEN In my prayer during this hour, I saw the vision of the Mother of God who came along with seven little angels. She came nearer and kindly said: “Children, throughout the days of this month, My Jesus has been showing you His tender love and mercy. You have seen how He loves you, even when you remain in sin and care not to see His love. His patience for you is enduring. He waits for you to rise and value His love and mercy. “Children see how His love for you has even cost Him His Blood which cleanses your iniquities. He loves you and died for you. The Creator died for His creatures. Go and love your neighbor as Christ has loved you. Even if it will cause the shedding of the last drop of your blood; be willing to pour it for this purpose. For truly I say to you, “there are no other means through which you can show love to Jesus better than through the love of your neighbor. Whatever you do to these little ones, you did it to Me”, says Christ. If God died for man, it is not too great for man to die for his fellow man. So, I say to you my children, love that they may love the Love who greatly desires to be loved by men. Today, being the eve of the end of the prayers of the month of July for the renewal of the world, I call on all my Children to practice true love. Struggle! All you children of renewal to be perfect. May you all be the light of the world. Show the blind world where the new child has been born. May the house of Israel, rise for the Kingdom of God is at hand. I am the Mother of the Agonizing Jesus Christ whose Heart has triumphed through you. Remain in peace from Heaven. So I leave you. Immediately the vision passed. SECOND MESSAGE OF THE FIFTH HOUR DATE: 31ST JULY, 2005 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: VERY SOON ALL EYES WILL SEE THE GLORY OF THE CRUCIFIED LAMB On this day of the last day of the month of July prayer at this hour, I saw in a vision a hung Crucifix appearing from the sun as the sun rises. As the rays of the sun brightened up the universe, the image of the Crucified Saviour, wounded and bathed in blood appeared clearly. After a while, clouds came down and covered the whole place. In the cloud, appeared the Holy Agonizing Jesus Christ who calmly said: “When I am lifted up, I will draw all men to Myself. Yes, my little lilies will lift me up through their humility and perseverance in true love. They will allow themselves to be crushed, despised, trampled underfoot, and persecuted for Me to be known, praised, and glorified. They will lift Me up through their holiness of life for Me to reign in the hearts of all men. I am happy to see these days coming soon like the rising sun. No force of darkness will ever stop it. Very soon all eyes will see the glory of the Crucified Lamb which will manifest in the life of My little ones. They shall say, “Truly He loves us”. They will repent from their evil ways to marry the Love. So I bless you all My little Angels in the world who are hastening the kingdom of My Father on earth; My death is your salvation. I bless you the lowly and most neglected who pick the neglected petals of perfection; My Wounds will be your comfort. I bless you all who knelt down in reparation for the sins of the world; My Blood is your salvation. My peace and My blessings go to all My children. Barnabas, I have many appeals which I made to you and the Apostolate of this devotion. Be certain that you know all the appeals. They will constitute your way of life and the work of the apostolate. To those appeals, I add, “Go and help the needy, free the poor, clothe the naked, help the oppressed and counsel the despairing souls” Children, you relieve some pains of My Sacred Body. In all these, you are to be as wise as the serpent and as humble as a dove. The evil of men will not discourage you from this work. Remain in my vineyard until I come again. I bless you all in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit, Amen! Immediately, the vision passed. THIRD MESSAGE OF THE FIFTH HOUR DATE: 1ST JULY, 2006 TIME: 1:00 AM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: I WILL SHOW THE LOVELY SOULS THAT FREEDOM IN ME Today being the first day of the great month of July, I saw the vision of the Agonizing Jesus Christ who was hanging, bleeding on the cross. As I watched clouds came down and covered the whole place. In the cloud appeared the agonizing face of Jesus Christ who calmly said: “Peace to you and to all My children. I welcome you all into this great month of grace and of peace. Barnabas, great is My love and nearness to you. I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ who loves you. In this great month of July, I will draw you closer and closer into the immensity of my Love. Son, I want to draw all hearts closer to Mine. I will show the lovely souls that freedom in intimate union with Me will make many souls to find peace in Me. Barnabas, remain closer to Me and enjoy this peace. May the grace of these days be with you! I bless you and all who are waiting for this great month in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen! Immediately the vision passed. FIRST MESSAGE OF THE SIXTH HOUR DATE: 2ND JULY, 2006 TIME: 2:00 AM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: AS FAR AS YOU ARE IN SANCTIFYING GRACE, I AM LIVING IN YOU In my prayer during this hour, I saw the vision of the Agonizing Jesus Christ who calmly said: My son, as far as you are in sanctifying grace, I am living in you. I am in the sanctuary of your soul. Your body is my Temple. Son, I am in union with you. Son, your lack of awareness of this supernatural union embarrasses Me so much. The embarrassment I suffered from you can be compared to that of a king who visited his people and received total abandonment. Nobody recognized his presence. I am the neglected and the abandoned king of your soul. Son, I am the Lord of your soul. Many are treating Me like a fool. See how they shut the door of my Temple behind Me. Those who opened the door for Me did not welcome Me with love. They only allowed Me to enter, and hence abandoned Me. Son, I want your cordial and personal relationship with Me. I want an intimate union with you. This union will bring you heavenly peace and joy. Your soul will find rest in Me. Barnabas, from tomorrow I will send you my Holy Ones to take you little by little to achieve this greatest goal of life. Remember that I am the Agonizing Jesus who loves you. Son, strive for a closer union with Me. So I bless you in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Immediately the vision passed. SECOND MESSAGE OF THE SIXTH HOUR DATE: 3RD JULY, 2006 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: REMOVE ALL IDOLS IN YOUR VERY SOULS In my prayer during this hour, I saw the vision of a Saint coming down from Heaven. The Saint was accompanied by two little Angels. Coming nearer the Saint said: “How happy are those souls who are in union with God; they are among the happiest beings on earth. Wisdom has shown them the way of peace. God is their satisfaction. But how restless are those whose wills oppose the will of God. They will be in a continuous battle with their God. Surely the will of God must be done. So, defeat is theirs. I am your friend Bernard. Dear friends of God, Jesus sent me to tell you to remove all idols in your very souls. This is the first and foremost step towards the road of holy union. Friends, Idols are those things that hold the soul captive more than God. These idols could be money, beauty, pleasure, self, your wife, your husband, your friends, and many more seductive things. A server of these things is an idol-worshipper. An idol-worshipper is a pagan. God’s Temple is not a pagan temple. God never dwells in the sanctuary of pagans. So, my dear friends, an idol worshipper is empty of God. In this journey towards the intimate union with God, all idols in the soul of man must be destroyed. The evil forest must be cleared. All the thrones of Satan in the soul of man must be pulled down and leveled before the King of Glory comes and dwells within. Friends, you can do this if you strongly will it. God sustains every man who strongly wills to do good with His grace. If you really desire the holy union with God, I mean, the happiest thing every soul dreams of, do what I tell you. I say once again. Remove all idols in your very soul and move towards God. You will find peace in Him. May I leave you for Jesus to bless you! Bye! He waved and disappeared in the cloud. Instantly cloud came down and covered the whole place. In the cloud appeared the Holy Agonizing Jesus Christ who gently said: “Thou shall not have any other god besides Me. He who worships other gods will never find rest in Me. He never lives in Me, nor I in him. His soul is a desert of wild reptiles and snakes. The way of peace is far from him. Children, destroy all the idols and temples of pagans in you. Come and have peace in Me. I am the Agonizing Jesus Christ who loves you. As you come, receive my blessing: I bless you in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit, Amen!” Immediately the whole vision passed. THIRD MESSAGE OF THE SIXTH HOUR DATE: 4TH JULY, 2006 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: OPEN YE THE ANCIENT GATE In my prayer during this hour, I saw a vision of a Saint of God who came with two little Angels. Raising a palm frond he had in his right hand, he said: “Arise, O sleepers in the house of God. Rise up O sleeping nation. Wake up O dead beings; the Lord your God is coming to you. He is the Lord of lords, the Prince of Peace. I am your friend and Brother Francis, the man of Assisi. Friends, I come to ask you to take a second step towards the holy union with God. What is the step? Jesus cried to you about His temple and His sanctuary. He calls: “Open ye the ancient gate. The king is coming. I am coming to dwell in My sanctuary. Friends, the step is: open wide the gate of your soul for the Lord. The Lord is coming to heal you and bless you. He will come and dwell in you and you in Him. Friends and brothers, who is this that holds the key of your heart? What are these bonds that bind the gate of your soul so strongly? Is it death? Is it poverty? Is it the love of the world? Is it the pleasure and glory of the world? None of these have merit to lock you up and make you captives. Free your hearts, O souls. Break up the ancient gate of your soul. Open the gate for the Lord. Open the gate by denouncing the things of this world. Let sorrow never paralyze you, let pleasure never seduce you. Let fear never hinder your faith. Rise above your weak nature and open the gate for the Lord. Friends and brothers, this is the message I have for you now. May my Jesus bless you!” Immediately the vision passed and then appeared the Agonizing Jesus Christ who calmly said: “I am standing at the door of your heart and knocking. If anyone hears Me and opens the door for Me, I will come and dwell in him. In this sanctuary of his very soul, I will plant the tree of love. He will find satisfaction and peace in Me. I cry to you O souls, open wide the gate and let your king come into you and to all My children. I bless you in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit, Amen! Immediately the vision passed. FIRST MESSAGE OF THE SEVENTH HOUR DATE: 5TH JULY, 2006 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: ENTHRONEMENT OF GOD IN HIS SANCTUARY In my prayer during this hour, I saw a vision of a Saint of God accompanied by two little Angels. She came closer and gently said: “Listen O creatures of God; the Lord is King. He rules over the entire world. How happy are the people who acknowledge Him as their King; they are the privileged people in the world. I am your sister, Cecilia. Happy month of July! Friends, you are the family of the King of Kings. You are the blessing of the earth. Rejoice O souls of the just for you are the throne of everlasting King. How blessed is the temple in which the King of Glory dwells. Friends, Jesus sent me to give you a guide toward the third step along the journey of the holy union. The step is called the “Enthronement of God in His Sanctuary.” Now that the idol had been removed and destroyed and Christ is welcome in this sanctuary, the next step is the Enthronement of God. The way is easy and the fruits are many. Friends, it is only to allow Jesus to dominate over all your worries, desires, and wills. Let Jesus fill the emptiness of your very soul. May He hold your attention longer than anything else! I say, may my Jesus occupy the center of your heart at all times. Jesus is the satisfaction of the soul. To achieve this, you must struggle to direct your mind and heart to Jesus at all times. Bring Jesus at the center of all your actions. Speak of Jesus all the time. Meet Him in your prayer and make Him your King. Friend, if Jesus did not hold your attention more than any other affection can hold your heart; Jesus is not yet King in your soul. Jesus wishes to climb at all times the throne of your very soul and rule as King. Give Him the opportunity to do this. You will find your soul at rest. Like a King, He will direct all the affairs of your life. You will be in want of nothing. You will be happy at all times. I will leave you now for Jesus to bless you. May Jesus reign in your very souls! Bye! Immediately the vision passed appeared the Agonizing Jesus Christ who calmly said: I am the joy of your heart. I am the peace of your soul. He who makes Me King shall be king as well. I will give Him a staff to rule over the Kingdom of his Faculties. Every voice and passion of the flesh shall obey him. Wisdom will flourish over him. In him, I will take delight at all times. So, I bless you in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit, Amen! Immediately the vision passed. SECOND MESSAGE OF THE SEVENTH HOUR DATE: 6TH JULY, 2006 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: CLOSER TO GOD IN THE SANCTUARY OF YOUR VERY SOUL In my prayer during this hour, I saw a vision of a Saint who came accompanied by two little angels. She came nearer and quietly said: “Come and enjoy the beauty of the Most High. Come and drink from the cup of truth. Come, O you inheritance of the earth, and see the goodness of the Lord. I am your sister, Gertrude. Friends of the living God, how do you enjoy the lessons of this month? Jesus sent me to draw you nearer to His love. He wants you to take the fourth step towards the holy union with Him. The step is: Closer To God in the Sanctuary of Your Very Soul. Friends of the living God, Holy Trinity is interested in you more than any friend on earth may ever be. The love of your God cares for you always. The awareness of this love is the first move towards this closeness. If God consoles you, no bitterness will ever come your way. But if He withdraws His consolation, no friends of the world can give it back to you. Turn to Him, who is the source of happiness and consolation, He will quench your thirst. Friends, you are to do this through your continuous effort to meet Him in prayer. Pray always and everywhere, by turning your attention to Him often. Learn to avoid distraction in prayer. Try always to stay calm in the presence of your God. I say be still and know that He is the Lord of lords. In the presence of God, there is peace, joy, and satisfaction. Come nearer and enjoy this grace. I pray that you will see and come. May Jesus bless and help you! Bye! Immediately the vision passed, then appeared the Agonizing Jesus Christ who calmly said: “Come to Me, My children and I will come to you. I am the source of life. In Me your soul will find peace. Come nearer and have my blessing. I bless you in the name of the Father and, of the Son and, of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Immediately the vision passed. THIRD MESSAGE OF THE SEVENTH HOUR DATE: 7TH JULY, 2006 TIME: 3:00 AM VENUE: MY ALTAR OF REPARATION, AWKA TOPIC: THE INTIMACY WITH GOD In my prayer during this hour, I saw in a vision a saint of God who came with two little Angels. Coming closer, the Saint said: How fortunate are those who are in union with God, their days are blessed. How blessed are those hearts that have been healed of worldly affections; who now find their intimacy in God; they are the free and happy people on earth. Come, O loving creatures of God and taste the sweetness of your God. Taste Him and know whether there is anything on earth as sweet as my Jesus. I have tasted and found that nothing is sweeter than Jesus. I am your sister, Agartha. Jesus sent me to take you to the fifth step towards the holy union and it is intimacy with God. Friends of God, after you have come closer to God, the next step will be the intimate union with Him. This is the absolute closeness between you and your God. At this stage, there is no gap between you and your God. The affection of Jesus has bonded you and engraved a deep cut in your heart. A soul at this stage thinks nothing other than her Jesus. In fact, Jesus is the sound and every beat of your soul. She finds rest in Jesus alone. Friends of the living God, why do you find it difficult to enjoy this peace in God? That may be your false idea and understanding. Know this truth that nobody is as interested in you as Christ Jesus is, he understands you more than anyone could ever understand you. In fact, His love for you is infinite as compared to any other lover of yours. He watches every step of yours with loving admiration. No human friend will be capable of loving you and giving you perfect friendship as my Jesus. Why then do you treat Him as a stranger in His own house? Why did you deny Him the love and friendship He merited? Why should you find it easier to converse with human beings than with Jesus? Turn to Him who loves you dearly and offer Him all the love of your soul. Friends of the living God, you shall do this by making Jesus your highest goal every moment of the day. You shall learn to turn to Him often in the interior room of your soul. Learn to gaze at His Face and love. Wipe this face stained with blood by our sin and console Him with a loving and sincere kiss. Friends, talk friendly matters with Jesus; listen and obey His words with love. This is the way of the fifth step towards holy intimacy with Jesus Christ. My brothers will have much for you in the days ahead. I pray for you to learn and grow. As I leave you, may Jesus bless you! Bye!” Immediately the vision passed, appeared the Agonizing Jesus Christ who gently said: “Truly, I am highly interested in you. I love you dearly. Have confidence in my love and love Me. In Me alone, you will find peace. So, I bless you in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen!”

Request of Our Heavenly Mother for the Hour of Grace: To be started from 12 noon until 1 p.m. (one full hour of prayer); During this hour the person making the Hour of Grace either at home or in a church must put away all distractions; Begin the Hour of Grace by praying three times the 51st Psalm (below) with outstretched arms; The rest of the Hour of Grace may be spent in silent communication with God, adoring the Sacred Host, meditating upon the Passion of Jesus, saying the Holy Rosary, praising God in your own way or by using favorite prayers, singing hymns, etc. ————————————————————————————- History: During the period of November 24 1946 to December 8, 1947, the Blessed Mother appeared to Sister Pierina in a little church in Montichiari, Italy, eleven times. On the first appearance the Blessed Mother told Sister Pierina She wanted to be known as the Mystical Rose and that an hour of grace should be kept at noon, December 8th, in all the Catholic Churches of the world. The Blessed Mother wanted this to be known through all Italy, and the entire world. It was November 16, 1947 when Sister Pierina was finishing Her Thanksgiving after Holy Communion when she saw a great light. She then saw a vision of the Blessed Mother as the Mystical Rose. Sister was so deeply moved by the stunning beauty of Our Lady that she began talking to Her. All of a sudden a gentle force made her kneel down in front of Our Lady. The Blessed Mother spoke these words. “My Son is so greatly offended by the sins of impurity. He is already planning to send the deluge upon the people, for their destruction, but I have asked Him to show mercy, and not send the destruction. So that is why I have appeared, to ask for penance and atonement for the sins of impurity.” On the 22nd of November, Sister Pierina felt the overwhelming urge to go to church at 4:00. The Mother Superior, four Sisters, and a group of friends accompanied her. They were all saying the Rosary when the Blessed Mother appeared as before. Again, Our Lady asked for penance. She said, “Penance is nothing more than accepting all our crosses daily willingly. No matter how small, accept them with love.” At this time She told Sister Pierina to come again on December 8th at noon. “This will be my Hour of Grace.” The Sister asked how she was to prepare for this Hour of Grace? To which the Blessed Mother said, “with prayers and penance. Pray the 51st psalm with outstretched arms three times. During the Hour of Grace, many spiritual graces would be granted. The most hard-hearted sinners will be touched by the grace of God.” The Blessed Mother promised that whatever a person asked her for during this Hour of Grace (even in impossible cases) would be granted to them, if it was in accordance with the Will of the Eternal Father. On the morning of December 8th, people began arriving at the little church at 8:00 in the morning form neighboring towns. By noon, some 10,000 people had gathered to see the Blessed Mother… In the most gentle and loving voice, Our Lady smiled ad began to speak [to Sister Pierina]: “I am the Immaculate Conception, the Mother of my Beloved Son, Jesus. I want to be known as the Mystical Rose. My wish is that every year on the 8th of December, at noon, an Hour of Grace will be installed. Many spiritual graces and physical blessings will be received by those who pray, undisturbed, during this hour.” Psalm 51 Have mercy on me, God, in your goodness; in your abundant compassion blot out my offense. Wash away all my guilt; from my sin cleanse me. For I know my offense; my sin is always before me. Against you alone have I sinned; I have done such evil in your sight that you are just in your sentence, blameless when you condemn. True, I was born guilty, a sinner, even as my mother conceived me. Still, you insist on sincerity of heart; in my inmost being teach me wisdom. Cleanse me with hyssop, that I may be pure; wash me, make me whiter than snow. Let me hear sounds of joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Turn away your face from my sins; blot out all my guilt. A clean heart create for me, God; renew in me a steadfast spirit. Do not drive me from your presence, nor take from me your holy spirit. Restore my joy in your salvation; sustain in me a willing spirit. I will teach the wicked your ways, that sinners may return to you. Rescue me from death, God, my saving God, that my tongue may praise your healing power. Lord, open my lips; my mouth will proclaim your praise. For you do not desire sacrifice; a burnt offering you would not accept. My sacrifice, God, is a broken spirit; God, do not spurn a broken, humbled heart. Make Zion prosper in your good pleasure; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with proper sacrifice, burnt offerings and holocausts; then bullocks will be offered on your altar.

Br Patrick “AND in those days cometh John the Baptist preaching in the desert of Judea. And saying: Do penance: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by Isaias the prophet, saying: A voice of one crying in the desert, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight His paths. And the same John had his garment of camels' hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins: and his meat was locusts and wild honey. Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea, and all the country about Jordan: And were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them: Ye brood of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of penance. And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father. For I tell you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doth not yield good fruit, shall be cut down, and cast into the fire. I indeed baptize you in the water unto penance, but He that shall come after me, is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; He shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost and fire. Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse His floor and gather His wheat into the barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.” ‭‭ My dearest beloved brethren, isn’t it extraordinary how a mortified person can draw people closer to God. People admire one whose needs are minimal, who is the master of his own appetites, who has a deep interior freedom. John the Baptist, with minimal clothes and minimal food, was a magnet. People trusted him because clearly he could not be bought. As Churchill said of Lawrence of Arabia, “Because he despised the world’s prizes, the world held him in awe. He was enfranchised by his indifference to its pleasures.” Where are the chains on us, the appetites which we have not mastered, and that pull us in ways we do not want? Help us towards freer hearts and bodies, Lord, I pray in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen. God has made you the John the Baptist of the present age; may your calls, prayers to humanity and your love of God, win more souls for Christ, dear disciples of Christ Jesus. Today, John the Baptist re-echoes his call to us for repentance. We may feel uncomfortable when confronted with John's call to repentance but we have to listen and acknowledge the call, and admitting and accepting and not being in denial that we are sinners in need of God's mercy. Advent is not for anyone who cannot admit this. God does not want us to passively receive the Word. We work with God, preparing the way in our lives, expecting and hopefully watching for God’s approach and answers. May we hearken to the call to us to repent and I pray the Lord to grant us the Grace repent of our sins and then follow the Lord’s ways, today and everyday of our lives, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray. Amen. On this 2nd Sunday of Advent, please do remember to take your family and go worship and adore the Lord; and invite the Lord home to come and have dinner with all of you. ~Remain blessed!!!

“And Jesus went about all the cities, and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease, and every infirmity. And seeing the multitudes, He had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd. Then He saith to His disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He send forth labourers into His harvest. “AND having called His twelve disciples together, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of diseases, and all manner of infirmities. These twelve Jesus sent: commanding them, saying: Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the city of the Samaritans enter ye not. But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And going, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely have you received, freely give.” ‭‭ My dearest beloved brethren, every one of us is being called to be a harvester; ie, a laborer called to harvest for the Lord. Each one of us can reach a corner of the harvest field that is accessible to no one else. These include each one’s family, neighbors, work colleagues and others who come into our lives. We should not shy away from our calling because we may be the only persons who bring Jesus with His healing and compassion into their lives. There are so many people who need to hear the message of love and compassion in their lives today. Lord, please show us the harvest field and give us the grace to be diligent in harvesting for You according to Your taste and Will, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen. You’re harvesting plentifully for the Lord; He will also give you plentifully with His generous and compassionate mind and graces, dear diligent laborers in the Lord’s harvest field. In today’s Bible reading as well as in the entire gospel Jesus is seen engaging with vigilant eyes and ears to the cry of the suffering world. To the world, Jesus was the compassionate one, bringing balm to the wounded places of their lives. Lord, the cries of the poor and broken hearted are evident in the mass migration daily beamed into our living rooms. Please Lord help us not to forget that You summon us. today, to be Your eyes, Your ears and Your hands of compassion. May we respond with loving compassion to all who come to us today and everyday of our lives, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray. Amen. Be courageous and fearless in the Lord; for God is with you. You’re blessed; remain blessed!!!

“And as Jesus passed from thence, there followed Him two blind men crying out and saying, Have mercy on us, O Son of David. And when He was come to the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus saith to them, Do you believe, that I can do this unto you? They say to Him, Yea, Lord. Then He touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you. And their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know this. But they going out, spread His fame abroad in all that country.” ‭‭ My dearest beloved brethren, Desire is important in life. Knowing what we want, and having energy to pursue it, should be what should guide us. The Lord has desires for us too. The desires of the Lord for us and our own desires can meet, as it happened for the blind men in today’s Bible reading. Their faith and their need brought them to Jesus. We are invited to do the same, recognising that Jesus can transform our desires to bring them into harmony with His own. May the Holy Ghost lead and guide us, to take our desires through prayers, to God so that He can blend our desires with His desires for us to give us the results that will transform our lives according to God’s Will, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen. All of us, in one way or the other, are blind before God, both spiritually and otherwise. As you remain very close to God, may He restore fully your life in whatever ways it has been attacked or touched by the enemy, dear friends of our Lord Jesus. What are our deepest desires and how influential are they to us in living as followers of Jesus? Jesus saw the faith in the two blind men in today’s Bible reading and took His own desires for them to them. When Jesus asked them what they wanted, they did not hesitate to speak and pronounce exactly what they wanted the Lord to do for them. The Lord did exactly that for them. This shows that the words we speak and pronounce, matter a lot and they are powerful too. I pray Lord to grant us the graces of being in touch with Jesus’ desires for us, knowing that our blindness can get in the way; and the grace to always approach God in prayers and speaking and pronouncing our needs and desires to Him, today and everyday of our lives, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray. Amen. Be courageous and fearless in the Lord; for God is with you. You’re blessed; remain blessed!!!

Br Patrick Jesus said to His disciples: “Not every one that saith to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the Will of My Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. Every one therefore that heareth these My Words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock, And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock. And every one that heareth these My Words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand, And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.” ‭‭ HAPPY NEW MONTH OF DECEMBER my dearest beloved brethren. “Listening” is never easy. We can hear without trying too hard, but listening asks more of us, for in order to listen fully we must hear, understand and then act. James 1:22 tells us to not merely listen to the Word but instead to do what it says. If we allow ourselves to be guided by the Word of God then we will be like the wise man who “built his house on rock”. I pray for all our lives to be guided by the Word of God, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen. Your life, faith, and discipleship are as solid as a rock because the foundation of your life is strongly built upon prayers, and the messages, teachings, and the Words of God, dear strong followers of Christ. Building a house can be an analogy for building a life. Jesus is telling us that the foundation is the most important part of a building. With a foundation that is built upon God's Word and teaching, the house will be strong and will be able to withstand anything that comes against it. Our lives remain unshakable when our lives are Christ-like. How are the foundations of our lives? Are they solid and built upon the message, teaching and Word of God? I pray Lord to grant us the Grace of remaining strong in the Lord, and not allowing any space for evil things of this wicked world to poke holes in our already solid foundations of our lives, today and everyday of our lives, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray. Amen. Be courageous and fearless in the Lord; for God is with you. You’re blessed; remain blessed!!!

BR. Patrick. “In that same hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Ghost, and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father, for so it hath seemed good in Thy sight. All things are delivered to Me by My Father; and no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and to whom the Son will reveal Him. And turning to His disciples, He said: Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see. For I say to you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things that you hear, and have not heard them.” ‭‭ My dearest beloved brethren, this lovely prayer of Our Lord Jesus tells us something about the relationship He treasured with His Father through the Holy Spirit. It is Jesus’ prayer of thanksgiving for the successful mission of His disciples whom He had sent out to preach. Jesus then tells them that they are indeed blessed to have accepted the good news and to be building their lives on their relationship with God. A child-like mind of openness and trust is the fertile ground for receiving God’s word. Let us pray that, like the disciples, we have the eyes to see and the ears to hear, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen. You have gradually but consistently built a strong relationship with the Lord Jesus; He will continue to speak to you and may you continue to see and hear His Words, dear God’s beloved children. Jesus is rejoicing because the seventy disciples whom He sent out have returned. They are ecstatic about the great things they have done in His Name. Whenever we spread the Word of God, we too are sharing in the mission of Jesus, and this should give us great joy. Our senses of wonder are strongest when we are children and the whole world is new. As we grow older, we become world-weary. We look without seeing and listen without hearing. I ask the Holy Spirit to make us sensitive to God’s self-revelation in the everyday events of our lives, today and everyday of our lives, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray. Amen. Be courageous and fearless in the Lord; for God is with you. You’re blessed; remain blessed!!!
