Our Lady Shows Us God's Promise
A Friend of Medjugorje
The loving spouse prepared the new home. Everything was set in place, furnished all the way down to the table being set. All was prepared with love and with the thought to show the arriving husband, the beloved spouse, a profound love. When he arrived, indifference flowed from the heart. A spilling out of ingratitude and no recognition of all the effort put forth to make him realize the love which was being given through the gift of the home. The ungrateful spouse acted toward the loving spouse as if everything was owed. The spoiled spirit then fell into mockery against the loving wife whose meekness and goodness was taken advantage of. The loving spouse, who had prepared with the might of love, with the hope of giving a peaceful home, instead was wounded and rejected. The suffering spouse was so neglected as to eventually being cast out of the home which had been so lovingly prepared – a suffering bore for the sake of the ungrateful and wicked spouse.
Is it not true of man? That we have had the full goodness of God who prepared a culture, a place to be happy, a beautiful way of life in which peace was to fill the heart, and that man has now rejected God throughout culture? But we, as Our Lady’s children, say we love God. We do not offend and make God suffer! But was it not Our Lady who just said to us a few days ago:
November 25, 2010
This analysis of our heart by Our Lady could only be a result of the indifference to our need of God, which has resulted in the distance from God the whole world is restless of.
There is a disease of tolerance of sin in the homes of Christians. The Church is gravely ill, no longer able to preserve the culture. Yet, man’s ungrateful spirit blinds himself from seeing and recognizing what God has given and prepared, and what is now being rejected.
A God of might approaches us so quietly, so meekly, through the Holy Virgin in Her daily apparitions and the world continues to interpret no consequences to decades of sin, that God is tolerant of the sins of man and man will not pay a price for his actions. It is not tolerance, rather God’s mercy and mighty love which allows our feeble continuance. But God’s mercy and love will be vindicated when His love is offended to the point that He withdraws, giving man up to man’s degradations, an arrival point in which the culture tears itself apart. We cannot keep rejecting God without being rejected.
You will not, you cannot go forward in peace and a sane culture without that which holds together the culture whose marriage with its Savior is the only one who can stop a divorce with God now taking place in the world. It is not any other prophet, religion, belief or yoga. It is the only, the one true God, His Son Jesus that can save us. The culture will not be saved, will not move forward through any other faith except the faith God established through His Son, the suffering God. The world does not comprehend this, does not accept this because it does not want to.
That “you cannot go forward without my Son,” who is Jesus Christ means what? Once we comprehend and accept ‘this,’ what does the mighty God intend with His mighty love? What is the second ‘this’ Our Lady speaks of in today’s message? ‘This’ He intends for us, for a new culture to be born. The present culture will die. We are to go forward and comprehend and accept this! Simply “this” is a great event that is coming, a Second Pentecost, somewhere along with the permanent sign to be left in Medjugorje. First, a flushing of the world’s culture, removing all that is not of God, brought forth by prayer and penance, resulting in conversion. The Holy Spirit will come and wash the world, thereby, birthing the new cultures of the world into a flourishing kingdom – a Kingdom of Heaven born in each heart of man which will manifest out of the heart into the new culture. ‘This’ will be by following the Holy Virgin Mother who says:
Leading you to this by prayer and penance which results into conversion. Our Lady said of prayer and penance on June 6, 1988:
Today, Our Lady spoke of two of the four basic messages given in the first decade of the apparitions from which all other messages come from – prayer and penance.
But what man needs as the basis for his existence is peace. God is peace and peace is one of the four basic messages Our Lady told us from which all other messages spring forth and bloom from man’s heart. “You need God” means you need peace. Once you have these four basic messages (fasting is the fourth) in your spiritual life, you will gather the strength to open your heart to become aware of the mighty love of God and what home He is preparing for us in ‘this’ life and also eternity. Why is He a suffering God? Because of our indifference to the gift of His detailed preparation as a loving spouse who is waiting for His beloved spouse to come home.
Please pray for the mission of Caritas, for many plans and projects to bear fruit in the future, of which Caritas has born in the past. An exciting year awaits this work. Join us tonight on Radio Wave for more about today’s message.

Medjugorje—the New Jerusalem, and the mystical land in which Our Lady has come to establish the Kingdom of Heaven in the hearts of all mankind. It is here that a promise was made for a coming sign on Apparition Mountain that will prove Her apparitions.
June 24 or 25, 1982
“…have them wait with patience for the realization of my promise. Everything is unfolding according to God’s plan."
Apparition Mountain can be seen here in the background. The grandeur of what awaits us through the coming of the sign is made more beautiful by the laundry hanging from a clothesline of a villager’s home. Our Lady came to simple people to seek their help with a plan from Heaven to save the entire world. The world does impact studies, goes to the universities, the intelligentsia, spends billions of dollars, but Our Lady goes to a little village and its people to change the world.
Mirjana, Medjugorje’s second of the month visionary, continues to receive Our Lady’s words on the day designated for special prayers for nonbelievers. In her talks with pilgrims she is often heard to refer to God as our “Good Father”, a phrase that she no doubt has heard Our Lady express to her many times in the apparitions, such as in a message given this year:
May 2, 2010
“…Today, through me, the good Father calls you to, with your soul filled with love, set out on a spiritual visitation…”
We imitate those whom we admire and look up to. It is a beautiful thing to hear in ourselves and in others around us the messages of Our Lady as they are repeated by memory in our everyday conversations, in giving advice, encouragement, in reflections of daily events, etc. This comes from reading Her messages everyday. The messages are becoming woven in the fabric of our thinking, of our speaking, and of our living. This is the beginning of having the Kingdom of Heaven established in us, through Our Lady. It is a work of great patience on the part of God to allow this process to continue, even though the darkness of the world is a daily reminder to Him that what we deserve is His justice. And yet, it is through the Father’s “mighty love, goodness and meekness” that Our Lady has been given to us in this time. Strive to understand more and more just what gift the good Father has given to us through Our Lady’s apparitions and words, and may Her words continue to root themselves into our hearts until the promise is realized—the Kingdom of Heaven born in our hearts, in our families, in our nations and in the world.
