After
considerable reflection upon the messages
now being given to “Anne”, we
believe that Our Lady in Medjugorje has
been, in part, preparing us for these messages
over the past 27 years. A set of eight (currently)
“Volumes” and other books by
“Anne” are being distributed
by the Queen of Peace Centers in Dallas
and Ft. Worth.
Basically,
Our Lord is asking that we become apostles
for these times in order to reach souls
who are lost or do not know Him and His
love for them. It is a time for transition
from an age of disobedience to an age of
obedience. This mission is closely tied
to the message of St. Faustina and the Divine
Mercy. Our Lord tells us He will be coming
as the Returning King to reclaim His Kingdom
and the rendition of Him as Returning King
came from St. Faustina’s convent in
Poland.

Talks now heard from
DFOT Website
Since June 2007, Anne participates
in a monthly prayer group in her parish
at St. Anne’s Church in Bailieborough,
County Cavan, Ireland. This takes place
on the first Thursday of each month with
a talk by Anne at 8:00 pm, followed by an
hour of Eucharistic Adoration, including
the Rosary, reading of the Monthly Message
and Anne’s prayers of intercession
during the procession of the Blessed Sacrament.
DFOT is pleased to announced that these
monthly talks can now be heard from their
website – Free! The goal is to spread
God’s Good News without delay. The
first Friday of each month (the day after
this monthly prayer group meeting convenes),

Message to "Anne" from Jesus
December 1, 2008 |
My
dear little apostles, there is so much to
be done. You see the need to bring Me to others.
You see your brothers and sisters struggling
in darkness without Me. If the light is to
be brought to them, it will be brought by
you. When I say there is much to be done,
I am telling you that the world needs your
service, it is true. But I am also telling
you that there are many things to be done
in your soul. You must be committed to changing.
Are you prepared to allow Me to make you holy?
If you are not prepared to let go of those
things that prevent you from progressing in
holiness, then you will not advance. If you
do not advance, you will move away from me.
You will begin to resent Me for the crosses
I send to you. You will begin to persuade
yourself that perhaps there is an easier way
for you, a way that calls for less sacrifice
and less commitment. This will not be My plan
but your plan. This will be your version of
holiness, not Mine. I know that some of the
services I ask from you are repugnant to you.
I know this and yet I call you into these
things anyway. If you reject parts of the
work, you will be executing an incomplete
plan. I have a big plan. I build on it each
day. You are part of that. I need you to listen
carefully for My directions and then serve
exactly as I am asking. My dear friends, if
I cannot instruct and direct you, then who
will listen to Me? Who will trust Me to protect
humanity? Where is the joy that comes from
God's children when they trust their Father
in heaven? I tell you that where joy is absent,
trust is absent. When a person is humble,
he will see that he needs greater trust and
he will try to become smaller so that I can
become bigger in his life and in his work.
I am asking you to do that. Be humble. Allow
Me, Jesus, to be your King. My kingdom was
not of this world. Your Kingdom is not of
this world. You will be rewarded in heaven,
My beloved. For now, serve Me, your King,
in the way I am asking. This will be the best
plan for you and for the world.

Rejoice
in Each Other
by "Anne", a lay apostle |
When
we are drawn to one of the saints, we must
understand that what attracts us is the saint
combined with Jesus Christ. A person becomes
a saint through a process of reducing his
personal will and replacing it with the Lord’s
will. Reducing and replacing, over and over
again, day after day.
When this process is being practiced, a person
begins to resemble Jesus Christ more than
himself, even while retaining his personal
characteristics and unique qualities. How
beautiful is this process that is sanctioned
and what joy is there in the contemplation
of our canonized brothers and sisters who
overcame their self-will in order to align
themselves with the will of the Father, setting
glorious examples for us.
Each of the saints would tell us to look not
at them, but at Christ and truly when we admire
their holiness, we are admiring the handiwork
of the Lord. This stated, contemplation of
saints themselves gives us terrific hope and
courage because if they can become holy, we
can become holy.
Jesus rejoices in our individuality. Jesus
utilizes our individuality to draw others.
Those of us who are drawn to St. John the
Apostle may not be drawn to St. Paul. Their
styles are different and their approaches
to holiness are different. This is fine. Jesus
allowed for many different styles of service
to be represented in the Gospels.
It is the same now during this time of renewal.
Jesus needs each one of us. Sometimes we look
at another apostle and think, Hmmm. That is
not what I would think a loyal apostle should
look like or act like or sound like. That
same apostle might look at us and think the
same thing. And yet heaven looks at these
two people and rejoices because truly each
is called and each is serving, albeit in different
ways with different styles and each bringing
in the same harvest in different ways.
Let us rejoice in and learn from all of the
saints who have gone before us. Let us also
rejoice in and learn from all the saints who
walk alongside us.
