Fr Steven Scheier's Near Death Experience which changed his life

On October 18, 1985, as he was traveling from Wichita to his parish in Fredonia, Kansas, Fr. Steven Scheier was involved in a terrible accident: a head-on collision with a pickup truck and with God. He found himself standing before the judgment of Jesus. His sentence from Jesus was “hell.” He says that the Lord took him through his entire life, and showed him how he had failed in his priestly service. At that moment, however, he heard a woman’s voice say, “Son, will you please spare his life and his eternal soul?” The Lord replied, “Mother, he’s been a priest for 12 years for himself and not for me, let him reap the punishment he deserves.” “But Son,’ she said, ‘if we give him special graces and strengths . . . then let’s see if he bears fruit; if not, your will be done.” There was very short pause, after which Jesus said, “Mother, he’s yours.” Sometime afterwards when he was reading the Parable of the Fig Tree (Luke 13) the words leapt off the page to him, especially the order to cut down the fig tree but getting a reprieve of one more year to bear fruit. (Further details in a homily in which I shared Fr Scheier's story)

I have reproduced below with permission a large excerpt of Fr Steven Scheier's most interesting interview on EWTN, the Catholic TV channel, with Mother Angelica which I think you will find most interesting.

The Fifth Marian Dogma, Our Lady as Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix of all Graces and Advocate

Four Marian Dogmas have already been proclaimed. There is growing support within the Catholic Church now for a fifth and final Marian dogma to be proclaimed, that Mary is Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix of All Graces and Advocate. Further information on this dogma is in my page The Fifth Marian Dogma which I recommend to you since it may answer some questions you may have on the proposed dogma. The movement Vox Populi Mariae Mediatrici is at the forefront of the growing enthusiasm for this fifth dogma. Since 1993 this movement has collected more than five million signatures in 157 countries in support of the proclamation of this dogma.

It is the opinion of many that when this dogma is proclaimed the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart will begin which she predicted at Fatima and that it will usher in a new Pentecost in the Church.

Meditations on the Rosary by Sr Emmanuel

I offer you here beautiful meditations on the Rosary by Sr Emmanuel of Medjugorje which I filmed there. At least listen to her introductory general meditation on the Rosary and her meditation on the Fifth Luminous Mystery and I recommend the others if time allows. (Sr Emmanuel's CDs and cassette tapes on the Rosary and her bi-monthly report)

Overcoming Drug Addiction through Prayer and Work - Cenacolo Communities

The worldwide Cenacolo Communities were founded by Sr Elvira in Italy to help addicts overcome drug addiction through work and prayer. Addicts may spend up to three years in the community and experience a deep spiritual renewal in the community also. A number of religious vocations have come out of these communities. When an addict enters the community he/she is assigned another addict who is called his/her guardian angel to accompany him/her. These communities are a wonderful testimony to the power of prayer to heal. The philosophy of the communities is that we only rediscover ourselves in Jesus when we are lost. Below I have added video I filmed of two testimonies in the Cenacolo Community in Medjugorje. The first testimony is given by Hrvojé from Crotia speaking through an interpreter and the second testimony is given by Giggi from Italy also speaking through an interpreter. Then Hrvojé gives an explanation of the icon of the resurrection on the wall of the community chapel which is so meaningful for those overcoming drug addiction.
