Marija encounters Our Lady on March 27, 2011 in Sacramento
(c)Mary TV 2011 |
| May 20, 2011Dear Family of Mary!"Dear children! Today I wish to call you to pray daily for souls in purgatory. For every soul prayer and grace is necessary to reach God and the love of God. By doing this, dear children, you obtain new intercessors who will help you in life to realize that all the earthly things are not important for you, that only Heaven is that for which it is necessary to strive. Therefore, dear children, pray without ceasing that you may be able to help yourselves and the others to whom your prayers will bring joy. Thank you for having responded to my call." |
Question:
Many people in their questions spoke about their families and their family problems. Their children don't want to go to church, or they don't believe any more etc. What is Our Lady asking us to do for our families?
Marija: First we have to convert ourselves. We need to think about our own conversion first. In our own conversion and our own way of life we need to be an example for those around us. Our Lady is asking us to be peace, to be love, to be forgiveness. Our Lady tells us: "I want you with your own life to be an example for the others around you." We are supposed to give an example with our lives. We are not asked to oblige those around us, to demand that they live like us. We are to plant seeds, and give time for those seeds to grow. It might be that we are asked to be like St. Monica for St. Augustine. She prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed, for maybe 28 years. And in the end there were to two saints, St. Augustine and St. Monica! Both of them became saints. We'd like to take all our family members into holiness. This is what Our Lady is centering upon so that we help others this way. Question: Will you tell us a little bit about Heaven, Hell and Purgatory?
Marija:
Yesterday when I spoke I shared a little bit about Heaven, Hell and Purgatory, and how Our Lady physically took Vicka and Jakov to Heaven. When Our Lady told them she wanted to take them to Heaven, Jakov said, "O blessed Mother, take only Vicka, because her mother has 9 kids, and I am the only kid."
Our Lady took them by the hand and they were lifted up to Heaven.
They went up like a rocket, very fast, and the houses became very small, and they went up.
They were gone for over 40 minutes.
When they went to Heaven, the first thing they saw was a huge enormous space like a field.
They saw many people.
These people were so happy and they were rejoicing and thanking God and singing and praising God for all He had done in their life to get them to Heaven.
The people in Heaven didn't pay much attention to them.
Our Lady explained to them that these people they saw during their life on earth always tried to live God's will, so when they died God took them to Heaven.
They are in Heaven and their life is a life of rejoicing and celebrating and thanksgiving for everything, for knowing Him and loving Him and in thanksgiving to Him for all the opportunities that He gave them to come to Heaven.
When Our Lady took them to Purgatory they didn't see anybody because they were in a thick, thick cloud, but they could hear their voices, crying out in pain, begging for prayers.
Our Lady said this is why she is asking us to pray for those in Purgatory, because the greatest suffering for a soul in Purgatory is that they saw God when they died, and they couldn't go to God, so they are begging us for prayers and they have to count on our prayers.
They can do nothing for themselves.
So they are waiting for our prayers and that is why Our Lady is inviting us to pray and sacrifice for the souls in Purgatory so they can go to Heaven and their suffering of not being able to be rejoined to God is diminished by our prayers and sacrifices.
Our Lady then took them to Hell.
They saw Hell like a huge lake of fire.
And while they were watching there were these horrible looking beasts around the fire.
And they saw this very, very beautiful young girl, this teenager and she fell into the fire and she came out like a horrible beast.
Our Lady said that God gave us free choice, and the people who are in Hell chose with their own free will to live in sin and to be against God and so when they died they went where they chose to go.
And so they went to Hell.
That is why Our Lady asks us and continues to ask us on the 2
ndof the month through Mirjana, to pray for the nonbelievers, those who don't know God and are far away from Him, so they have time to convert.
It is like a repetition of the messages of Fatima where Our Lady taught them the prayer, "We adore you for those who do not adore you, we hope for those who do not hope."
We have to be praying for those who are far away from God that God can give them the grace to return to Him.
It is through our prayers and the example of our life that we can pray for these people so they can return to God, so they can know him, and put God in the first place.
It is through our prayers, and our sacrifices through our way of life, that we can pray for these people so they are not lost.
In this way we become the way, the sign, the salt, so they can have eternal life.

"Only Heaven is that for which it is necessary to strive." The visionaries, by their mere presence, direct our eyes and hearts towards Heaven. They are in touch with Heaven every day. We are so blessed to have their witness, their testimony about the things of Heaven, the things of God. Through them, Our Lady is able to reach out and touch us. She wants us to be with her in Heaven, each and every one of us, each and every person on earth. Like the visionaries, our job is to "become the way, the sign, the salt, so they can have eternal life."
With Our Lady's help, we will do so!
In Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and Blessed John Paul II!
