"Sweet Children of My Most Sacred Heart, We are finding large groups of people who are treating their Faith as an activity that they do, if they have time for it. If they have time and are not too tired, they may pray. Some treat the whole experience of God as an after-thought. Some envision God as a person, who they can control through the means spoken of in the earthly language of psychics, or those who think of God as a person in earthly context. Some do not see value in speaking of God, let alone praying to God. Their attitudes come from worldly knowledge, earthly images, and followers of magic.

All of these problems come directly from the evil one, who has set out this year to disclaim or offer images of a God who is human. The reason for this is to make the acceptance of the Maitreya as a god to believe that much easier. And, Dear Children, in the minds of many, this strategy has taken root.

Beware, then, Dear Children, that you do not fall victim to these enticements, these evil strategies. Make sure you have a talk to your children about God in the Most Blessed Trinity. Make sure they understand their Souls. Make sure they know God as God in Heaven Who they will meet in Heaven. Try harder, My Children. We love you. - Jesus"

"Sweet Children, after My Son's admonition to you to keep your Faith against many challenges, I wish to express an appeal to you to not let a day go by without prayer. Prayer is your life-line to the truth of God, of Faith, and of perseverance in the Faith. It is the element which shall demonstrate for you that your goal is to reach Heaven. Your goal is to stay with the One True God. Your goal is to live or die always believing in the One True God.

You need confidence. You get it from prayer. You need trust and hope. You get it from prayer. You need strength and courage. You get it from prayer. All you need comes from a hearty and earnest prayer life. From the moment you awake to the moment you sleep, you should make every moment a prayer and sacrifice. It is not difficult. Just say those words as a prayer to God and to Me, your Mother. Thus you make all you do a prayer and sacrifice.

These are not days to sqander your time and effort. With the clocks accelerating and time at a premium, you have no time to waste. Therefore, pray well all day. Help your family to pray all day each day as your safeguard against the evil enemy.

We love you. - Mary"

"My Children, after these days [of June, days] of conflict in the World are over, there shall be another and even greater conflict, arising from disease and spreading throughout the World. This new conflict shall pass person to person to those not in the State of Sanctifying Grace. Know this. Your protection is your Spiritual State. You must maintain a healthy Spiritual life of freedom from mortal sin, prayer and charity towards all. In this way only can you be protected.

It is not surprising that God has chosen this way to protect you. Both prophecy and Scripture notes that those who remain constant in their love and ways, of God shall be given special gifts. This special gift at this time is freedom from disease. Other times, there shall be other gifts.

Please, Children of God, do as you have been advised and stay in a healthy State of Grace. - Joseph"

May 1, 2003 - A Message from Blessed Dina Bellanger.

"Sweet Children, I feel pleased to speak to you once again. These are the times when the Saints and particularly your Patron Saints wish to help you for we are aware of your great need today. That great need is to protect you from the secular and hedonistic world which surrounds you in your quest to follow God's Ways.

I say again to you that you need to call upon the Angels and Saints to "surround, protect, guide and assist" you whenever you leave the security of your home, for all around you the evil ones wait. Yes, there are many evil demons prepared to tempt you, to badger you, to flash evil before you, hoping you will sin. This evil force never sleeps, and is constant in its trying to dissuade you by doing evil. Be on your guard. Keep a prayer on your lips and in your thoughts. How ? From billboards of semi-dressed women, to angry drivers, pressing you to a lack of charity, to thoughts of revenge. It is all so easy to tempt you outside your home and away from images of Heavenly helpers.

Therefore I say: call upon Heaven to help you overcome these temptations, realize they are real, and control your mood and motives. We are here to help you, but you need to seek our assistance. Please do so. - I am Dina."

May 1, 2003

"Now Dear Children, I want you to examine your personal way of relating to God in the Most Blessed Trinity. I want you to truly realize the importance of your Faith, of your belief in God, of your prayers. I want you to try and understand the truths of your Faith. I want you to treat your Faith and belief in God as a gift that must be acted upon first in your life. It is not a some-time belief. It is a full-time belief. It is not a human gift, your Faith, but a God-given gift. It can not be slighted nor ignored. It must not be, for the sake of your Souls.

Be forewarned. Be alert. Be prepared. You must look on Faith with eyes of love and seek to know, love and serve God. If you only view Faith with eyes of this world of knowledge and images, you are committing a severe vice against Faith, which is a confessable sin. Therefore We must warn you against this vice.

My Children, love God, seek His care and help. Try to understand yourselves. Search for God's Grace and Blessings upon you. Seek always the face of God to help you through the trials you have in this life. Everyone has troubles. That is what happens on earth, but, Dear Children, offer all these trials for your Soul.

I love you. - Jesus"

May 1, 2003

"Sweet Children, I am very surprised that good and faithful Catholics have found themselves looking for religious practices that are not mystical but human, social rather than spiritual. Where are the beliefs that God in the Most Blessed Trinity should offer you the peace, love and mercy ? Why are people seeking God-like qualities from human beings ? Why does your behavior in Churches today look like Protestant attitudes and behaviors, when you have your God before you in the Blessed Sacrament ?

I am thoroughly amazed that you look, but do not see or believe, that God is there. Why, My Children ? Have you been so indoctrinated by the Modernists that you believe this secular display of behavior is pleasing to God ? All these thousands of years, you were reverant and showed God reverence due Him. These days your social world has brought you to show Him no respect at all. Why is that, My Children ? Please return to your old ways for God has been patient with you long enough. Next He may decide not to be with you, and then where will you be ? Try harder, Dear Children. - Your Mother Mary."

Prophetic Messages by Jesus Christ Given to His Secretary, Dr. M.J. Even for June - Vol. 1

May 1. 2003

"My Sweet Children, it has been a trying time in the life of the Church. It has been a time in which the problems for Priests and the Hierarchy seem to spill out by the buckets full. Do you know why this is taking place ? Do you recognize the signs which have led up to these problems and why they are now being brought forth ? For this is their time. These are the times for anguish, for persecution, for embitterment, forecast in prophecy and described in the Book of the Apocalypse. These are one sign to you that the ends to which We have referred on many occasions are coming to pass.

You need to read the Book of the Apocalypse or, some say, the Book of Revelation. You need to acquaint yourselves with the signs shown there. This is a time foretold from the beginning that there shall be problems within the Church.

There shall be upheavals and changes in the universal weather patterns. There shall be wars and the talk of wars. Do you not see this even today ?

We speak plainly to you of these happenings in order for you to not misunderstand the signs. We speak of these things to alert you once again to the truth of these signs and wonders. Be assured that, whatever you have read, that these are the days of fulfillment. These are the times; the signs, of the ending days.

Do you not see that this is the time of persecution ? The concept of persecution takes many forms. When you struggle to find a valid Mass. When you struggle to find a Priest for a dying family member. When you are unable to pray as you wish and should. All these things are persecution of a form. We have told you to expect it, deal with it as you can, and pray it won't last a long time.

So few understand that these happenings are a form of persecution. They just appear to see these problems as another problem to get through. That is so, but it will even get worse, My Friends, much worse.

These are the days of Catholic ridicule. These are the days when you need to be quiet and pray. These are the days when Catholic bashing will become more evident to you, from the media, from Protestants, from Modernists. You need a strong Faith and knowledge that your Faith and beliefs will sustain your life, your integrity, your hope.

It has come to Our attention that people are asking questions about their Faith. These questions are basic to the beliefs of the Catholic Faith. That means that people of the Faith do not know their Faith. Some have been taken in by Modernists who seek to destroy the Truths of the Faith.

The notion of modernism has been carefully described in these messages over the years. You have only to read the Encyclicals of Pope Pius X or Pope Leo XIII, to understand that Modernism is open to and indeed brings about heresy.

For, the changes demanded by Modernism are not part of the long-term beliefs of the Catholic Faith. Beliefs of Catholicism are not changeable. They can not be altered. A Modernist may think he or she can do so, because they want to do so, but the outcome is a very different religion. The outcome produces a religion, a faith, which they may call Catholic, but no longer is True Catholicism.

Why ? Because the Catholic Faith can not change It's precepts or conditions of belief. This is known by all, yet the Modernists don't really care. They say they will believe as they wish, thinking God will understand and accept what they have done. I will not accept their whims and fantasies. The Truths of the Catholic Faith, the True precepts and beliefs of the Catholic Faith are God-given beliefs. God hasn't changed them. They hold. They will not change. They are forever in place.

So as you hear of change from Priests or laity, you must quietly think, check, study the Truth of these words. I say again, there can be no change in the precepts of Faith in the Catholic Church. There can be no alternative strategies to make up for or change the bases of Salvation of your Soul.

The Catholic Church was designed by God Himself and no person, whom God Himself created, has any authority or right to change what God Himself disposes. It is a ridiculous presumption, whose origins most definitely are evil in the purest sense. That is correct. I said evil in its purest sense. And who would that be ? Lucifer, Satan and the evil demons who are trying to thwart the Truths of God, so he may bring more people to Hell than God the Father will have in Heaven.

I say this bluntly to you, so you understand that the Truths of the Faith can not be changed, altered. If you have been taken in by a Priest or Bishop, who is a Modernist, due to their insistence they know best, or because you like changes, know this is the time to study the Truths, change your thinking. Come back to the True Faith, My Children.

If you do not like this or that aspect of the Faith, you need to pray for Wisdom and understanding. If you stubbornly believe some aspect of the Faith should be different, or you do not believe what Catholics should believe to be calling themselves Catholic, then may be you aren't a Catholic after all. Yes, I said it. Catholics must believe all that the Catholic Faith believes, from abortion to the True Presence. If you think abortion is acceptable, or do not believe in the True Presence of Jesus Christ, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the Holy Eucharist, then you are not a True Catholic.

The Truths of the Catholic Faith must be believed by all Catholics. That is the True Faith beliefs, not those changed or misinterpreted by Modernists.

Remember I know all your thinking and beliefs. I know why you may change your reasoning. No matter what age you are, or the length of time you are of the Catholic Faith, there is no excuse I accept for deviation from the True Faith principles. You must believe all to be a True Catholic.

Remember also that socializing, or a community group, may seem nice, but no other [person]or group can save your Soul. Do not think I like all this socializing or talking in Church or such a notion. A Church is supposed to be a place to talk to God. You and God, not a dozen or more friends.

This idea of a community church may appeal to those who want friends in this life, but they will not have any part of your Soul's destination. I do not think those in Community Churches really understand the True Faith, let alone the True nature of God and their Souls.

People need to take a hard look at the real bases for the changes they entertain, when they go to Church. Is it a prayerful place to speak to God ? Or is it a social, friendly place ? I do not criticize friends talking to friends, but the Church is not the place to do that. My Churches appear at times loud discos, a beehive of entertainment. Where is God ? I tell you, I have left some of these places due to the lack of belief by the Priest in My True Presence and who, thus, does not bring about My Transubstantiation at Consecration.

People say: "0 God must be pleased. We are here." I say: "No, I am not." People and Priests speak about the joy of friendships, of sharing. I say "God is too dignified to be a part of such orchestrated noise in His Own home. He leaves."

No, I do not like the noise. I do not think that this is prayer. I am not spoken to. I am shunned.

My Children, come before the Tabernacles, where My Holy Presence is adored by the Angels with a True and peaceful heart, and I will hear you. I will answer your pleadings as God the Father advises. I love to have you come. The Angels make way for you.

I am a God of love, quietude, peace and mercy. I disdain the noise, a presumptive heart, and flagrant disrespect.

In the end, you have a Soul to save, yours. You are alone in this act. No one can dispense My rules, My Commandments, My Precepts. God makes things perfect initially. It is mankind who tends to destroy what God has made perfect.

My Children, I love you, but you must understand what it means to be truly Catholic. It is My Church and Faith, not anyone elses.

Now study and learn. - I am Jesus"

Prophetic Messages by Blessed Virgin Mary Given to Her Secretary, Dr. M.J. Even for

"Sweet Children, let us speak together, regarding your time upon earth. Let us speak together, regarding life and death. Let us speak together here, regarding the realities of your Soul.

Oh so many do not know about their Soul. Some do not understand what a Soul is. Some others do not measure their actions so as to protect their Soul from getting blacker from the evils of sins they commit. Some let the evil ones lead them in this life, and thus straight to Hell. Some do not believe in the afterlife, while others believe only Heaven waits for all and all go there after they die.

It is such a tragedy to see these ignorant persons die, and come before My Son Jesus for their particular judgement. Though they do not speak, they look wide-eyed at the consequences of their sins, and run to Hell, to avoid having such sins of their life clearly stated by their Guardian Angel. Some just wonder at it all. Yes, mercy is given to some who are truly ignorant, but in this age few are truly innocent. They know their behavior was inappropriate, and did not care. They willingly go with the evil one for they like him for what he gave them in life. They expect the same in death. But of course, you know that is not the case. Hell is Hell.

My Children, life for you began, when your Soul was created by God. The Soul entered your [still small] body, where it stays until you die. Souls never die. They live forever [after]. They are the part of you which looks like you, but is a spirit. At the General Resurrection your Soul and body are reunited for the General Judgement and for eternity thereafter. Yes, your Soul and body thereafter live for eternity in whichever place you, while living on earth, have made a place for it - Heaven or Hell.

The reason you have this choice is through the freewill God gave you for this life. It is the freewill of people that brings about the place for your Soul.

It is the Soul which is the most important part of you. It is the Soul which makes you fit for Heaven or Hell. These are the only two places to exist after the General Judgement, and no one can move out of Hell once there. Nor can a person go from Heaven to Hell. The primary judgement for a Soul is at the person's death. The decision made then is forever. The General Judgement [much later] is merely to justify God's decision made when you die. That decision is not changed, only justified.

Therefore you must live upon earth with your Soul as your key basis for decision-making. Of your freewill you must earn your way to Heaven. It is up to you alone, no other.

I reiterate these points of your Faith plainly and directly to answer any questions you may have, but also to show you the extent of the problem all human beings have with life and with death's judgement. A lot of mercy is shown to many. A lot of Grace is offered to many. I can [during life] provide enough [Grace] for all, and some refuse what I could give. They just run [when judged] with the pack of evil to the evil's home - Hell.

No matter what age you die. No matter what life gave you. No matter the circumstances of your death. All come before Jesus for a particular Judgement at death. Souls are old or young, but they are then only Souls, no bodies. If you lived a long life, you have more freewill acts to account for. That is all. A Soul is a Soul at whatever their age at death. Of course, the Soul looks like you. That is a dogma of the Catholic Church. A Soul is recognizable as you, but is a spirit. A Soul therefore can run, speak, and do things as you do with a body, yet is only spirit.

Souls in Heaven are given a place to live, given them long ago before their Souls were conceived [because God knows beforehand which Souls will eventually by their freewill reach Heaven, predestination does not exists]. A Soul in Hell has no home, only a wasteland of tortures. They do not exist with friends as friends, but they may recognize each other. Whereas in Heaven Souls are friendly, and speak to each other - not as on earth however - close friendships [in Hell] do not form, only passing recognition. It is not correct to think friends meet and greet and enjoy themselves together as on earth.

No, there is a great difference which exists in Heaven. People do not live as on earth at all. Attitudes are totally changed. God is the center of all activity, yet no one is bored or lazy. There is much to do in Heaven, and people are never left without something to do. They never go looking for activity. They are busy doing the Will of God. God has given all in Heaven work, and a life beyond your imagining.

Do not look upon Heaven with earthly eyes. You can not understand with your limited ideas what Heaven truly is. I tell you these things only to give you courage and inspiration, that you may desire to go to Heaven of your freewill, and therefore act accordingly on earth.

It is a great gift from God the Father to give you life upon earth. It is His desire you wish to be with Him in Heaven. But you must prove yourself. You must follow His wishes and carry out His Commandments. Yes, you must earn the right to go to Heaven. So the gift of life comes with strings attached. It is not a means to automatically be given the reward of Heaven just because you were given life. No, you must earn it.

Jesus opened Heaven by His death, but to go to Heaven you must earn your way. You were given a freewill to decide if you wish to be with God. God only wants those with Him, who desire Him above all He has given to humankind upon earth. It is a struggle for some to follow God's ways. Indeed even in Purgatory some struggle with the separation of loved ones on earth. But they must, just as you must.

Life on earth is so very short as compared with eternity. You may live a long or short life on earth, but eternity is forever. Earth is only a portion of the universe created by God. Yet God chose to make it for you, and people it with Souls with bodies, who would live as long as He chooses. In imitation of His Son, Jesus Christ, God the Father created humankind in His Wisdom. It is His desire all these Souls He created return to Him of their freewill.

It is another story all together for those who refuse to live as God desires, who turn away from God, who hate Him, while seeking only the pleasures of this earth. The pleasures of this earth have been revealed by the evil ones, who seek daily, hourly, minute by minute, to get people to turn away from God and toward evil pleasures.

While not all earthly pleasures, such as love of God and family, some recreations, are not evil, when I use the term earthly pleasures, most people know what I mean. The objective is to consider whether the deed or pleasure is sinful. That is the test of which something is good or evil. It is necessary to check. It is wise, for the good of your Soul, to avoid all evil pleasures which are sinful.

Confession has been given as a gift from God Who knows the potential danger of sinning by humans. Take full advantage of this gift often. Make clear to God you are sorry for your sins and try very hard not to repeat them. If you do so, seek Confession quickly for you do not know when God will call you to death.

In this age, so many sin very often. There has been a dismissal in the minds of many of the nature of sin. This works against the Soul and the consequences of sin. Try, My Children, to awaken in your minds the needs of your Soul. Try to understand that God awaits you if you desire to be with God. It is truly up to you to decide.

We love you all and instruct you because We love you. - Mary"

Prophetic Messages by St. Joseph Given to His Secretary, Dr. M.J. Even

"Sweet Children of the Hearts of Jesus, Mary and Me, Joseph, We are with you to help you through these difficult times ahead, and give you advice and counsel. It is certainly a weird and worrisome world in which you live at times, for you do not always know your friends from your enemies. I speak here of the many messages given to you by special interest groups, and those, who have much greater agendas for you to accept, than the smaller plans presented to you.

There is one group who seeks to protect the environment, but for the benefit of a one world government. There is another group who seeks protection of many people with the aim of a one world religion. Yes, you have many messages coming at you, but you need to be alert, aware and pray for discernment. It doesn't really matter that you know what these groups are, rather that you use caution, when listening or accepting all you hear. Many people seek goals that are not what appears on the surface.

I tell you this, Dear Children, because you need to be more cautious, more careful, with where you place your support. You need to learn the reality of what is taking place in your world. It is not a world any longer in which what one says is the whole story; or for that matter, the truth. There are so many examples of this, but you need to read the numerous books, which explain these things to you. You need to become informed.

So much is being done today to put in place the world leader and the new World Government. Countries are vying for a part of the control in the one world government. China, Russia, Korea, the European Union and North America, each have a stake in the ruling efforts. Each are using language to build up their power. Each has strategies to thwart others. Watch for this in the media. It is growing in intensity as your times speed up. The clock is moving faster for all these days, and world powers feel a great intensity to promote themselves.

Now, Dear Children, I bring up these problems, so you may observe more keenly, what is taking place on the world stage. Try to understand you and your country is but one piece of a larger puzzle in a drama, that continues to build. There is intrigue and deception. In all of this, it is your life, your way of life, that is being pushed one way and another. In the end, your way of life will be altered dramatically. You will not recognize you are living in the same world.

Sweet Children, We have told you over and over that life is changing for you. We have advised you to be quiet, secure, close to home, whenever possible. We have asked you to develop a means to be more secure. We have made suggestions that you tone down your talk, secure your homes. We have suggested you also may wish to move statues from the front of your homes to the rear of your homes. Little ways to keep a low profile.

These days I strongly suggest you carefully read the newspaper and magazines of news. Try to keep up on the world news, especially, and that of the United Nations organization. See where the World Bank is putting its money. Try to understand what is being done by your leaders and Congressional leaders.

Try also to keep up with the news in and around the Vatican and the Bishops of the Church. So many Prelates are resigning due to age; see who the Pope puts in their place. Learn these world leaders' names.

It may seem like work to do this, but if you are without knowledge, you will have no clue what is really taking place. You will be innocent and naive. Perhaps you want to be, but this is no time to be so. This is the time to be aware, alert, ready.

Times like you have today have never been as such before. These times are filled with difficulties and deception. You must become more alert and wary. You need knowledge to know how to manage your lives. You need help, but you also need to become involved in the process of knowing. You are the only one that can realize how all this will effect you personally. So get the papers. Listen, watch the news. Read the books. Become aware. Be prepared.

Long ago We spoke of being prepared. Long ago We advised you to keep your eyes open. Some have done so, but others thought it was too much work. Well, perhaps you can form a partnership with a friend to discuss various news. Just watch who that might be. Discussing various issues may help. One reads a book and tells one other. Talk about things among yourselves. That will get you going. However this is not a good time to initiate others into all that We tell you. This is the time to be quiet.

My Children, try to understand that for a time, sometime ago, We asked you to share. That time has passed. Now We ask you to be still, and not to gossip, or describe all you know. Let God do what He wants with those, who do not know. Pray for others to gain the wisdom you have grown to have.

Now, dear Children, in the face of danger, of possible persecution, of your invasion of privacy, try to order yourselves and your lives. Be organized, get yourselves mentally and Spiritually ready. Pray each day for wisdom and courage. Pray that God in His Mercy will look kindly upon you and protect you.

It is difficult for you to see today what shall be in the future. It is hard for you to reconcile in your mind, that there will be times in your lives, when you do not have the security and protection you seek. Yet I, and all of Heaven, do tell you that these days approach and you need to get ready.

Be not forlorn, in despair, or take no heed. I am using stronger words here, but We have spoken of this many times over the years.

Sweet Children, until next month, I am Joseph."

Introducing a NEW BOOK: The Bible Speaks

Vol. 1 Old Testament (about 375 pages) Vol. 2 New Testament (about 250 pages)

IN a few weeks we will be taking a new book The Bible Speaks - Volumes One and Two to the printer.

Before I do, I wish to make you aware that this book is being printed, and to seek advance sales to pay for its printing. As close as we estimate now, from the Printer's bid price, the cost on, the two volumes will be $20.00, which includes postage.

The Bible Speaks is an explanation, an interpretation, of the books of the Bible, Through reading and studying it, you will better understand what is going on in the language of the Bible.

This book was commissioned by Our Lord to help people read and understand the Bible, It was not written by Heaven, nor are there any interpretations by Heaven.

Rather it was prepared, at Our Lord's request, by a Catholic Professor of Scripture having taken her high degree in Scripture and who has taught it at Universities and in Seminaries. Even with this background and using her class notes, it took eight months to write.

It was originally proposed as a study program for the "House of Prayer with Jesus and Mary and Joseph" as Stage Eleven and Stage Twelve. This is why the book is organized by Lessons. Those persons, who have this prayer program, shall receive the study schedule in the near future for these stages of study with a request to obtain the book in two volumes.

At Our Lord's request I am making the book available now to our subscribers, as the monthly messages have stated, "We need to read and study the Bible." After reading it myself I believe it will help us to understand, in depth, the various books of the Bible.

For your information, all references used were from the Douay-Rheims (Latin Vulgate) edition of the Bible. It appears it may be helpful for parents using Home Schooling also. We will not be able to sell the two volumes separately, only together. Thank you.

to order, write a note with the name of the book, along with a check or cash for $20.00 to me, Mary Jane Even. The book shall be available around November 1, 2003.
