I was Prochoice On My 17th Birthday Party – Silent No More

It was my seventeenth birthday. I missed school that day, and my friend drove me to the hospital. I was admitted and put into a ward with other young ladies who were waiting for their abortions. Later, I was wheeled into the operating room and put under general anesthetic. I woke up bleeding, in pain, nauseated, and had a very large tell-tale bruise where the IV had been. Late that afternoon I was released. My friend picked me up to drive me home. We arrived at my home to my seventeenth birthday party. My whole family was there. I hid my hand to avoid any questions about the bruise. No one knew that night, as they celebrated the day I was born that I had taken the life of my first child.

The new dawn is approaching, so please turn to My Son

MESSAGE #2984 from the Blessed Mother April 23, 2007
 
My daughter;  Please continue to write, for these messages are for the world.

All my children must come to know God’s love, mercy and forgiveness. Believe; believe in God’s unconditional love. Believe in God’s love for you so you turn to Him each new day. It is time now to respond to God’s love so you can be light to a world that is so filled with darkness.

The new dawn is approaching, so please turn to My Son and place all your trust in Him. Climb God’s holy mountain and through your efforts, peace and love will dwell in your hearts. Amen.
Psalm 56 1-6 & 13

Be merciful to me, O God, for men hotly pursue me; all day long they press their attack.  My slanderers pursue me all day long; many are attacking me in their pride.

When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid.  What can mortal man do to me?  All day long they twist my words; they are always plotting to harm me.  They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, eager to take my life. For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
JOHN PAUL II  GENERAL AUDIENCE
Wednesday 19 September 2001

Dear Brothers and Sisters, It is a dark night; devouring wild beasts are perceived in the surroundings. The one who prays is waiting for the coming of dawn so that the light will dispel the darkness and fear. This is the background of Psalm 56 on which we reflect today. It is a night prayer made by the one who prays at the break of day, anxiously awaited, in order to be able to praise the Lord with joy. In fact, the psalm passes from dramatic lament addressed to God to serene hope and joyful thanksgiving.

In reality, one assists at the passage from fear to joy, from night to day, from nightmare to serenity, from supplication to praise.

Catechism of the Catholic Church

409 This dramatic situation of “the whole world [which] is in the power of the evil one” makes man’s life a battle:

The whole of man’s history has been the story of dour combat with the powers of evil, stretching, so our Lord tells us, from the very dawn of history until the last day. Finding himself in the midst of the battlefield man has to struggle to do what is right, and it is at great cost to himself, and aided by God’s grace, that he succeeds in achieving his own inner integrity.

Excerpts of a Homily by Fr. Robert Altier December 21, 2003

If we look around in our society today, [God] is allowing our society and the people within it to go their own way. As we have spoken of over the last number of weeks, quoting Saint Paul, “Where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more,” so we know that there is more grace available to people today than there ever has been before in history. It is not because of a lack of grace on God’s part that all of these things are happening. In fact, Saint Faustina told us about the time of mercy and how there would be an abundance of grace available for people

Our Lady has to be firmly established before her Son is going to come. She is going to give birth again but not in any kind of physical way. Rather, the fullness of the truth regarding Our Lady will be fully known and understood and accepted and lived.

And it is through that that Jesus Christ is truly going to be born in the hearts of all who believe, and that He will find a new sort of incarnation, if you will, in the world – through us, who are children of Our Lady and who believe in her Son. This is the pattern that God has established. He will give up the people; He will send Our Lady, the dawn that comes before the sunrise; and then He will send the Son of justice, Jesus Christ.

The time of mercy has not yet stopped. Things are going to get very ugly because the darkest part of the night comes right before the dawn, and the saints tell us that Mary is the dawn that precedes the sunrise. So as the world prepares to receiver her Savior, there was one who was prepared long before everyone else – and that was His mother. She is now preparing the hearts of those who will believe, of those who will be faithful to her Son.

I want to walk with each of you, but you must first come to Me

I want to walk with each of you, but you must first come to Me

Prayer group 5/1/2007

MESSAGE #2969 from Jesus March 5, 2007

 My child, Come to Me and I will strengthen and renew you. I will give you hope through all trials and suffering.

I want to walk with each of you, but you must first come to Me. You must allow My light to shine through you. Open your hearts and trust in My love and forgiveness. Accept My love, and My mercy will flow and heal your broken hearts. I am here to cleanse you and protect you from all evil.

Listen to Me and take refuge in My Most Sacred Heart. Listen to My cry of mercy. Pray, fast and do penance. Time is short. Devote yourself to prayer and listen to My voice. Come to Me and I will do all things for you. Follow Me along the Way of the Cross and unite your soul to Mine.

I am Jesus. Respond to My words of mercy and love.

Catechism of the Catholic Church 

74 God “desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth”: that is, of Christ Jesus. Christ must be proclaimed to all nations and individuals, so that this revelation may reach to the ends of the earth:

1506 Christ invites his disciples to follow him by taking up their cross in their turn. By following him they acquire a new outlook on illness and the sick. Jesus associates them with his own life of poverty and service. He makes them share in his ministry of compassion and healing: “So they went out and preached that men should repent. And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.”

2717 Contemplative prayer is silence, the “symbol of the world to come” or “silent love.” Words in this kind of prayer are not speeches; they are like kindling that feeds the fire of love. In this silence, unbearable to the “outer” man, the Father speaks to us his incarnate Word, who suffered, died, and rose; in this silence the Spirit of adoption enables us to share in the prayer of Jesus. 

Isaiah 55

Invitation to the Thirsty

 1 “Come, all you who are thirsty,

       come to the waters;

       and you who have no money,

       come, buy and eat!

       Come, buy wine and milk

       without money and without cost.

 2 Why spend money on what is not bread,

       and your labor on what does not satisfy?

       Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,

       and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.

 3 Give ear and come to me;

       hear me, that your soul may live.

       I will make an everlasting covenant with you,

       my faithful love promised to David.

Excerpts from a Homily by Fr. Robert Altier July 31, 2005 

Our Lord tells us through the prophet Isaiah that we are to come to Him and we are to receive freely the milk and the food and the water that we need.

Yet, at the same time, we realize that it is not the food for the stomach that is important here, but it is the Eucharist.

He is there giving Himself freely to us, but it requires a choice on our part. As He says in that first reading: Come to Me. He has already made the first move and He has come to us. Now He is right here in front of us every single day. How many of us come to Him? How many of us are really taking the opportunity every single day to come to Christ to receive for our souls what we need? All too long, we, as American Catholics, have been giving lip service to Christ but our hearts (if we are honest) are rather far from Him.  How many times we have heard over and over again that we need to pray

We need it desperately. If we do not pray – and I mean pray from the heart, not just say some prayers; I mean going inside and praying deeply within the heart – we are not going to make it. Things are only beginning, and look at how hideous it is. It is going to get far, far worse in the very near future. If we are not steeped in prayer, we will be lost because lip service to Christ is not going to suffice. Only true love for Jesus Christ is going to suffice, and the only way to develop a true love for the Lord is through prayer.

But we now have to make the choice. He is present among us, but He is there passively waiting for us. He will not force us to love Him. He will not force us to be faithful to Him. He gives to each one of us the choice because He made us free and He will treat us according to the dignity that He has given us in creation. We have to make a free choice,

Look at it honestly and seriously in prayer in front of the Blessed Sacrament. We need to heed the voice of the Lord when He says to us, Come to Me, and receive freely what He is offering; also to look very seriously at the warning of Saint Paul, his great question: What can separate us from the love of Christ, and the knowledge that the only one who can separate us from the love of Christ is our own self; and that we are going to remain faithful to Him regardless of the circumstances. Then it is going to require time before the Blessed Sacrament and opening our hearts to grow in faith, to grow in love, and to unite ourselves with Jesus Christ.

Doctor of Sister Lucia of Fatima Interview

Doctor of Sister Lucia of Fatima Interview

by FATHER ROBERT J. FOX – DIRECTOR,

FATIMA FAMILY APOSTOLATE INTERNATIONAL

http://fatimafamily.org/

It was my privilege on the eve of May 2007 to spend two and one-half hours with the personal doctor of Sister Lucia of Fatima. This woman doctor who is now 57 years old came here to the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, Hanceville, Alabama where I offer Mass daily in the lower church. Branca Paul M.D. was Sister Lucia’s personal doctor the last 15 years of Lucia’s life and was with her when she died. Branco Paul M.D. shared special and precious pictures with me concerning informal moments with Sister Lucia.

This woman doctor had gone to the Castle Store here at the Shrine and discovered my book, “FATIMA IS FOREVER.”

She was delighted to find in the book one of the pictures she had taken of Sister Lucia venerating the image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

It was especially interesting to hear Branca Paul M.D. talk about papers of Sister Lucia discovered after her death, including Sister Lucia’s personal diary in which she reveals the seventh apparition of Our Lady of Fatima, something not known previously. It was known that at the May apparition [just 90 years ago as I enter this blog] that our Blessed Mother said: “I came to ask you to come here for six successive months, on the 13th day at the same hour. Later I will tell what I want. And I will return here yet a seventh time.”

There has long been speculation about about what, when, if, that seventh apparition took place. Sister Lucia’s Diary opened by others – after her death – clears it up, according to her personal doctor. I will write what that Diary revealed in a future issue of my magazine.

I was delighted that after our dinner and interview together, which was filmed, that Branca Paul M.D. came to my home to receive a personal autographed copy of my recent book, FATIMA IS FOREVER, concerning lives and deaths of the two friends, Pope John Paul II and Sister Lucia. The doctor wanted a picture of my presenting her an autographed copy of my book, FATIMA IS FOREVER, – by the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima and the three little shepherds which is front of my home here in Alabama – which is near the Mother Angelica’s Monastery of Our Lady of the Angels and Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

THE INTERVIEW WITH SISTER LUCIA’S DOCTOR and many pictures given by the doctor – will be in the July issue of the IMMACULATE HEART MESSENGER which will be out later part of June.

This 90th year celebrations of the Fatima events will also contain in my magazine a future article by a Scientist who has studied the miracle of the sun at Fatima through witnesses for past 40 years or more. You can click into information on obtaining the magazine at the bottom of this page. Thank you. Father Robert J. Fox
