Messenger:      We have been experiencing very great
                            difficulties with our toll free number

                        This has affected our donations.

                        Our long distance carrier changed hands 
                            and so we went to another long distance carrier 
                            and they have now held us up for well over a week 
                            with no toll free assistance

                        In trying to get help from the new carrier they said 
                            the old carrier had taken the numbers back.

                        This has bothered me immensely.

                        Please pray for the quick rectification of this situation. 

                        Materials can be ordered by email 

                                info@sofc.org

                            or by calling 

                                1-513-932-4451 (which is not toll free). 

                        Please pray for us.

                        We really do need your donations 
                            and Our Lord wants us to get the Blue Books 
                            printed immediately for Christmas presents.

                        Pray for 2 urgent intentions.

Here is the Reading and the Gospel from Today
  

Ephesians 4: 1-6

I, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you therefore to lead a life worthy of the vocation to which you were called. With all humility and gentleness, and with patience, support each other in love. Take every care to preserve the unity of the Spirit by the peace that binds you together. There is one Body, one Spirit, just as one hope is the goal of your calling by God. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of all, over all, through all and within all.

Luke 12: 54-59

On reading the signs of the times

He said again to the crowds, ‘When you see a cloud looming up in the west you say at once that rain is coming, and so it does. And when the wind is from the south you say it’s going to be hot, and it is. Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the face of the earth and the sky. How is it you do not know how to interpret these times? 

    ‘Why not judge for yourselves what is upright? For example: when you are going to court with your opponent, make an effort to settle with him on the way, or he may drag you before the judge and the judge hand you over to the officer and the officer have you thrown into prison. I tell you, you will not get out till you have paid the very last penny.’

October 25, 2002

Messenger:         If Jesus told you that every person has
                        a part to play and if they did it the world
                        would work like a clock, what would make
                        the clock go off. One thing that could make
                        it go off is if other parts of the clock try to
                        perform functions they aren't supposed to.

                            Some parts are the lead parts, they
                        are connected to others and help them work.
                        If some parts underneath the lead parts would
                         try to break the lead parts it would make
                        the clock go off. If some parts dependent on the
                        leader try to do the leading it could make
                        things go off.

                            In a symphony the conductor conducts —
                        he is the leader. Others can play their own
                        music — it will sound awful.

                            Children can disobey their parents. How does
                        the family work then.

                            The person in authority must be pure and
                        want God's will.

                            If God calls certain people to help and

                        they say no, it affects everybody else.

                            Mary couldn't teach her class at the university

                        because the children next door were playing

                        with matches and their house caught on fire and

                        she had to help the children next door.

                            Satan tries to work so there will be confusion.

                        A lot of people get blocked doing God's will for

                        them because satan works to tempt others to do

                        things that aren't good like playing with matches.

                            God wants the parents in charge of the family —

                        the priest to have a certain role in the Church,

                        if the children are willful and fight and try

                        their parents over and over again, the parents

                        may want to give into the children and let

                        them do what they want.

                            People running the parish may try to get
                        more authority than they should.

                            Satan wants confusion.

                            Satan wants people in authority to give into
                        those under them wanting their own way.

                            What happened in the garden.

                            Eve disobeyed God.

                        There is a weakness in human persons.
                        We all have weaknesses.
                        There is not jealousy in heaven.

                        People here on earth very often block the work
                            Jesus wants done because they get angry
                            and lose their power in one situation and
                            do something that helps them feel they have
                            gotten power in another situation.

                        Some people have so much "baggage", unmet needs
                            and they think people in the job are thinking
                            things they aren't even thinking.

                        Some people just spend their life being in control
                            and having their own way many times when
                            they need to work together and give up
                            their own selfish way of doing something.

                        How will we get the job done if people won't
                            learn to work together in a community
                            and if everyone wants to control and be
                            on top.

                        Jesus is God. He came to earth. He
                            has a human nature.

                        How will the lion lay down with the lamb?

                        How do you get next to a porcupine?

                        What can set somebody off when one minute

                            they are "down trodden" loosing power

                            they feel in one situation and then they

                            do something that is not God's will to get

                            a feeling of power back. And who pays

                            for the deed done that throws everybody off.

                        We are one body.

                        What we do affects everybody else.

                        No body can fill all our needs but Jesus.

                        We do what we do for Jesus not primarily for the

                            approval of others.

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje

July 13, 1917

    But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. ⁽¹³⁾

Excerpt of The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, by Louis J. Puhl, S.J.
 

136. THE FOURTH DAY

        A MEDITATION ON TWO STANDARDS

The one of Christ, our supreme leader and lord,
the other of Lucifer, the deadly enemy of our
human nature

PRAYER.   The usual preparatory prayer.

window at a former Jesuit Seminary

137. FIRST PRELUDE.   This is the history. Here it will be that Christ calls and wants all beneath His standard, and Lucifer, on the other hand, wants all under his.

138. SECOND PRELUDE.   This is a mental representation of the place. It will be here to see a great plain, comprising the whole region about Jerusalem, where the sovereign Commander-in-Chief of all the good is Christ our Lord; and another plain about the region of Babylon, where the chief of the enemy is Lucifer.

139. THIRD PRELUDE.   This is to ask for what I desire. Here it will be to ask for a knowledge of the deceits of the rebel chief and help to guard myself against them; and also to ask for a knowledge of the true life exemplified in the sovereign and true Commander, and the grace to imitate Him.
   

FIRST PART

THE STANDARD OF SATAN

140. FIRST POINT.   Imagine you see the chief of all the enemy in the vast plain about Babylon, seated on a great throne of fire and smoke, his appearance inspiring horror and terror.

141. SECOND POINT.   Consider how he summons innumerable demons, and scatters them, some to one city and some to another, throughout the whole world, so that no province, no place, no state of life, no individual is overlooked.

142. THIRD POINT.   Consider the address he makes to them, how he goads them on to lay snares for men and bind them with chains. First they are to tempt them to covet riches (as Satan himself is accustomed to do in most cases) that they may the more easily attain the empty honors of this world, and then come to overweening pride.

   The first step, then, will be riches, the second honor, the third pride. From these three steps the evil one leads to all other vices.
   

SECOND PART

THE STANDARD OF CHRIST

143.   In a similar way, we are to picture to ourselves the sovereign and true Commander, Christ our Lord.

144. FIRST POINT.   Consider Christ our Lord, standing in a lowly place in a great plain about the region of Jerusalem, His appearance beautiful and attractive.

145. SECOND POINT.   Consider how the Lord of all the world chooses so many persons, apostles, disciples, etc., and sends them throughout the whole world to spread His sacred doctrine among all men, no matter what their state or condition.

146. THIRD POINT.   . . .

end of excerpt of The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius
  

        (7)    Say the Our Father.

The Our Father

    Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

        (8)    May the Sacred Heart of Jesus Reign
                in all the hearts of the earth.

        (9)    May the Sacred Heart of Jesus Reign
                in all places.

        (10)   

Revelation 19: 1-10

Songs of victory in heaven

After this I heard what seemed to be the great sound of a huge crowd in heaven, singing, ‘Alleluia! Salvation and glory and power to our God! He judges fairly, he punishes justly, and he has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her prostitution; he has avenged the blood of his servants which she shed.’ And again they sang, ‘Alleluia! The smoke of her will rise for ever and ever.’ Then the twenty–four elders and the four living creatures threw themselves down and worshipped God seated on his throne, and they cried, ‘Amen, Alleluia.’ 

    Then a voice came from the throne; it said, ‘Praise our God, you servants of his and those who fear him, small and great alike.’ And I heard what seemed to be the voices of a huge crowd, like the sound of the ocean or the great roar of thunder, answering, ‘Alleluia! The reign of the Lord our God Almighty has begun; let us be glad and joyful and give glory to God, because this is the time for the marriage of the Lamb. His bride is ready, and she has been able to dress herself in dazzling white linen, because her linen is made of the good deeds of the saints.’ The angel said, ‘Write this, "Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb," ’ and he added, ‘These words of God are true.’ Then I knelt at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, ‘Never do that: I am your fellow–servant and the fellow–servant of all your brothers who have in themselves the witness of Jesus. God alone you must worship.’ The witness of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

Transfiguration

        (1)    God has all the power.

        (2)    Jesus is the Light of the world.

        (3)    

Matthew 17: 1-8

The transfiguration

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as dazzling as light. And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them; they were talking with him. Then Peter spoke to Jesus. ‘Lord,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; if you want me to, I will make three shelters here, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He was still speaking when suddenly a bright cloud covered them with shadow, and suddenly from the cloud there came a voice which said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’ When they heard this, the disciples fell on their faces, overcome with fear. But Jesus came up and touched them, saying, ‘Stand up, do not be afraid.’ And when they raised their eyes they saw no one but Jesus.

        (4)    I saw Him transfigured.

Excerpt from December 22, 1998

Messenger:    On January 9, 1996, I went to pray. The snow was so bad the street was blocked to Holy Cross-Immaculata. I finally managed to find a place to park and trudged through the snow, panting with joy to be with Our Lord in the tabernacle there. When I arrived all I could do was kneel before the Sacred Heart statue and pour out myself to Him.

Please show a picture of the tabernacle and the Sacred Heart statue.

From my writings of January 9, 1996, I write:

"I was engulfed again in my love of God and cried so hard because I love Him so much. In this intimate act of giving myself totally to Him, my whole act was in emptying myself, wanting only to be lost in Him and united forever to Him in this most blissful moment. I turned myself over and was lost in Him, knowing His presence with me and knowing His deep love. The world stopped and I existed in Him, longing to forever stay there, so this moment would never end."

"I touched you, God and in this embrace I knew your unending love. I saw Your Body as if it was transfigured and glowing in light and I was lost in Thee."

This is how it began. I would see a great reflective light, as if from a mirror, on the eaves of the church in the front of Holy Cross-Immaculata and His Body was changed in the most brilliant light before my eyes. I cannot describe what I saw, nor have I ever seen it except in this vision and two that would follow the next two days. Jesus was transfigured before my eyes.

The date of January 9, 1996, when it first happened, was the same date January 9, 1994, when I genuflected before the crucifix and the altar at St. Gertrude's and the Father spoke; Blue Book II-page 18, January 9, 1994: "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."

On January 9, 1996, I would see Jesus transfigured before me in the statue.

At the end of December, on the 5th of the month, 1996, I would see Him in the back of the church on the crucifix at the point of death.

On August 20, 1997, I would see the glorified Lord as He appeared in magnificent light transfigured on the crucifix at St. Gertrude's church in Maderia, Cincinnati, Ohio.

Excerpt from February 28, 1999

Messenger: I was in St. Gertrude's Church and I was in the front of the church. I was looking at the crucifix, and I heard the Father speak: "My gift to you is My Son. This is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased."

    On the 20th of August, 1997, I was at St. Gertrude's and the Lord appeared transfigured on the cross. I heard the voice of the Father speak, "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased, listen to Him."

Excerpt from February 24, 2002

Messenger:     When we opened the Rosary Factory February 5, 2000
                            Jesus appeared transfigured in the Sacred Heart
                            Statue beneath Mary's image.

        (7)    ...‘This is my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on him.’ 
                Matthew 3:17

        (8)    Jesus is the Son of God.

        (9)    The Father wants us to recognize
                    Jesus is the Son of God.

        (10)   

                God is. There are 3 person in one God.

    Last Supper
    

        (1)    

The institution of the Eucharist

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples. ‘Take it and eat,’ he said, ‘this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them saying, ‘Drink from this, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. From now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in the kingdom of my Father.’
  

        (2)     

Mark 14: 22-24

And as they were eating he took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to them. ‘Take it,’ he said, ‘this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them, and all drank from it, and he said to them, ‘This is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many. 

        (3)    Jesus is the Son of God.

        (4)    Jesus gives us Himself in the Eucharist.

        (5)    God gives us the Mass and the priest to preside.

        (6)    There is so much grace that can
                    be released when we unite to the Mass.

        (7)    Jesus is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.

        (8)    Jesus is the Light of the World.

        (9)    We can receive so much grace
                    when we pray fervently
                    before the Blessed Sacrament.
