St. Valentine
Dear Family of Mary!
Today
is the feast day of the saint who chose our Daily Reflections for 2014!
St. Valentine. Here is the little entry for our saint:
Saint Valentine, priest, physician, martyr (celebrated February 14th)
"I am
beautiful because I love. If you want to be beautiful, love." (Our Lady
in Medjugorje, March 25, 1985) Pray that people will model their love
after God's love.
Our little job from St. Valentine is to model our love after God's love and pray that others will too!! What a great job.
Interestingly,
today in the second part of Vicka's talk on October 25, 2013, she
refers to the very same message used for St. Valentine: "I am beautiful because I love. If you want to be beautiful, love."
St.
Valentine, please pray for us today and every day, as we try to
understand and live Our Lady's messages. St. Valentine, pray for us!
Vicka Ivankovic - Mijatovic, speaking to pilgirms on October 25, 2013, Part 2:
And
Our Lady asks us to pray a little bit more for her plans, for her
intentions. Our Lady wants us to take the Holy Bible into our hands and
to read a little bit every day. And Our Lady also wants us to pray for
the Holy Father, for the bishops and priests, because they are very much
in need of our prayers. But in a particular way, Our Lady asks us to
pray for one of her plans. There is really something that Our Lady is
very concerned about, that breaks Our Lady's heart. It is the situation
of the young people and families in today's world.
Our
Lady says that she has been praying for peace, and she invites us to
pray for the same thing, and to support her with our prayers. And this
evening when Our Lady appears at 5:40
I am going to recommend all of you and all of your petitions to Our
Blessed Mother. At that time of the apparition please open your heart
and recommend to her all your needs and your desires.

I
am sure that many of you know about the experience that I and Jakov had
at the beginning of the apparitions when Our Lady showed us heaven,
hell and purgatory. We were at Jakov's and Our Lady appeared, and she
said, "Now you are going to go with me." And then Jakov who was only
ten, thought that to go with Our Lady meant to die, and so he generously
offered, "Our Lady, why don't you take Vicka, since she has 7 brothers
and sisters and I am the only son of my mother." And I personally was
thinking, How long will we travel, how many days will we travel up or
down. Our Lady gave me her left hand and her right to Jakov and she took
us with her. And the ceiling just opened for us to go through.
And
in a second we came to Paradise. I saw an endless space. I saw the
light that does not exist here on earth. I saw people who looked very
much alike, and they were dressed in long gowns in pastel colors, green,
yellow and pink. They were all walking around talking and praying and
little angels were flying around. And then Our Lady said "Look
at all these souls in Paradise, how happy they are! This is the joy that
cannot be described, that does not exist here on earth." And there was endless space.
In
purgatory we were not able to see persons but it was very foggy. And
one could perceive that the souls were suffering there. And Our Lady
said that all those souls here in purgatory are waiting for our prayers
so they can be transported to paradise.
And
in hell we saw fire. We saw people who looked normal, but when they
entered the fire, they were cursing, and transforming into different
animal forms. And Our Lady said that all those souls in hell got there
because it was their own will and decision. They are souls who here and
now live and do everything against God and when they die they just
continue the same way of life. Our Lady said that there are many people
who live here on earth who think that when they die everything will be
over. Our Lady said this is the biggest mistake. We are just travelers
here on earth and when we die life goes on.
There
was somebody who asked me, "Vicka how beautiful is Our Lady?" When Our
Lady appears, there is a flash of light three times and then Our Lady
appears. She comes in a gray dress, and she has a white veil, black
hair, blue eyes, and there is also a cloud on which she floats. And for
special feasts, like Christmas, her birthday or the anniversary, Our
Lady comes in a gold dress. And during the Christmas apparition, Our
Lady always comes with Jesus, the infant, in her arms. Also during our
birthdays Our Lady wishes us her best, and we do the same on her
birthday. We may touch her and shake hands, and it is the same feeling
as with an ordinary person.
The
beauty of Our Lady cannot be described because there is no beauty like
it on earth. And once we asked Our Lady, "Why are you so beautiful?" And
the Madonna responded, "I am beautiful because I love. And you need to love in order to be beautiful."
The beauty from outside is not that important, but the beauty from the
inside reflects in our hearts and our faces, and it is the way we become
more beautiful when we have love in our heart. Our Lady said we should
not be concerned about the way we look, but we should be more concerned
about the beauty of our hearts because when we have beautiful hearts it
will reflect on our faces.
Vicka prays with pilgirms!
Now
we are going to stay in silence and prayer and I am going to pray over
all of you. It is very important to spend time in silence because
silence helps us a lot. Our Lady says that we speak a lot because we
don't pray enough. So we will spend time in silent prayer. And every
evening the first words I direct to our Lady are about the sick, for all
of you who are carrying crosses. And Our Lady said one time, "You
cannot even imagine the value of your crosses in the eyes of the Lord,
especially if you carry your crosses in love."
As
I said, we will spend some time in silence, and during this time you
may hear some sounds but just continue to pray in silence. Thank you
all....
Vicka prayed with the crowd for 23 minutes in silence....
When
Vicka prays, she seems to get lost in the prayer. She no longer seems
connected to earth! Her eyes are closed, her hands clasped, and her head
bowed. Intense!! And silent! And filled with peace. Her prayers are
powerful. There have been many conversions and healings during Vicka's
prayer. I believe that Our Lady wants our prayer to be intense, silent,
and powerful as well. She needs our prayer, our faith, our hope and our
love, so that she can convert the world.
May we learn to pray like Vicka! And may we love like God!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
