Dear Family of Mary!

"Dear children! Today I am calling you to live your new life with Jesus. May the Risen One give you strength to always be strong in the trials of life and to be faithful and persevering in prayer, because Jesus saved you by His wounds and by His Resurrection gave you new life. Pray, little children, and do not lose hope. May joy and peace be in your hearts and witness the joy that you are mine. I am with you and love you all with my motherly love. Thank you for having responded to my call." (04/25/18) 

Our Lady gave Jelena a prayer of Consecration to the Heart of Jesus in 1983. Jelena was just a little girl, but she had a very fruitful relationship with Our Lady. We can pray this prayer that Our Lady dictated to Jelena in response to this beautiful message, because it will help us to "live [our] new life with Jesus."

Consecration to the Heart of Jesus
(Given by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj, 11/28/1983)

O Jesus, we know that You are sweet (Mt. 11:29).
That you have given Your heart for us.
It was crowned with thorns by our sins.
We know that today You still pray for us
so that we will not be lost.
Jesus, remember us if we fall into sin.
Through Your most Sacred Heart,
make us all love one another.
Cause hatred to disappear among men.
Show us Your love.
All of us love You.
And we desire that you protect us with Your
Heart of the Good Shepherd.
Enter into each heart, Jesus!
Knock on the door of our hearts.
Be patient and tenacious with us.
We are still locked up in ourselves, because we
have not understood Your will.
Knock continuously, Oh Jesus.
Make our hearts open up to you,
at least in reminding us of the passion
which you suffered for us. Amen
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Dear Family of Mary!

Tonight Ivan's prayer group met at the statue on Apparition Hill, and at about 10:00 pm Our Lady appeared to Ivan.  There were many people present, in the dark awaiting Our Lady's coming.

After the apparition, Ivan shared about his encounter with Our Lady:
I would also like to describe to you, and bring closer to you, tonight's meeting together with Our Lady. Also tonight Our Lady came to us joyful and happy. She greeted all of us with her motherly greeting, "Praised be Jesus, my dear children!"
Then Our Lady extended her arms over us and prayed over all of us. She especially prayed here over all of us present who are sick, here. Then she remained and especially prayed for families and for holiness in families.   Then she blessed all of us with her Motherly Blessing. She blessed everything that you brought to be blessed.
I recommended you, all of you, your needs, your intentions, your families, especially the sick. And after that Our Lady prayed and left in an illuminated Sign of the Cross, with the greeting, "Go in peace, my dear children."
I want to emphasize that tonight Our Lady for a longer time prayed for holiness in the family, and for families. Thank you.


In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Dear Family of Mary!

Here is a prayer that Our Lady gave to Jelena that will help us to prepare for today's message!

Let's really give ourselves to Our Lady!
How to Give Oneself to Mary
Mother of Goodness, of Love and of Mercy
(Given by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj, 4/19/1984)
Oh my Mother!
Mother of goodness, love and mercy!
I love you immensely, and I offer myself to you.
Through your goodness, your love,
And your mercy, save me!
I wish to be yours.
I love you immensely
And I wish that you protect me.
In my heart, oh mother of goodness,
Give me your goodness,
So that I go to Heaven.
I ask you for your immense love
That you may give me the grace
That I will be able to love each one
Just like you loved Jesus Christ.
I ask you in grace
That I be able to be merciful to you.
I offer myself completely to you
And I wish that you will be with me at each step,
Because you are full of grace.
I wish never to forget your grace,
And if I should lose it,
I will ask, make me find it again. Amen.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: April 24, 2018 -I am calling you to be with me in prayer!

   
(c)Mater Ivankovic 2018
  
  
April 24, 2018
St. Fidelis of Sigmaringen
 
Dear Family of Mary!
"Dear children! I am calling you to be with me in prayer in this time of grace when darkness is fighting against the light. Pray, little children, confess and begin a new life in grace. Decide for God and He will lead you towards holiness; and the cross will be a sign of victory and hope for you. Be proud that you are baptized and grateful in your heart that you are a part of God's plan. Thank you for having responded to my call." (March 25, 2018)

Tomorrow we will receive the 25th of the month message. I always like to review the message from the previous month, in preparation for the new message.
 
Our Lady said to us, "I am calling you to be with me in prayer in this time of grace when darkness is fighting against the light." She asked us to be with her! To be with her! When someone asks you to be with them, it is usually because they need your comforting presence, or your strengthening presence, or just your company! To be with someone is to be in communion with them, to be a support in a trial, or a helper in a task. To be with Mary in this time of grace for us is a call to accompany our Mother in her mission to save souls.
 
She needs us. Mary needs us to stay close to her. She doesn't want to be alone. This mission is a titanic one. She is taking on the enemy, to win back souls for her Son. And she wants us to be with her, to be with her in prayer.
 
I propose that we consciously decide to pray with Our Lady. We all pray to Our Lady every day, asking for her help. But do we pray with Our Lady? Do we draw close to her and pray with her for the conversion of sinners, for the salvation of those who do not know her Son? Do we take on her petitions, and pray with her for God's plan to be fulfilled?
 
I suspect that if we each try to pray one Rosary (5 decades) each day with the intention of praying with Our Lady in this time of grace so that God's plan for Our Lady would be fulfilled, we will begin to see the Triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart sprouting here and there all over the world. Maybe we can try it.
 
"I am calling you to be with me in prayer in this time of grace when darkness is fighting against the light." Let's pray with Our Lady for what she needs, staying close to her so she won't be alone in this apocalyptic battle. She needs us.
 
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: April 23, 2018 - My Son has permitted me to stay this long!

   
(c)Mater Ivankovic 2018
  
  
April 23, 2018
St. George
St. Adalbert
 
Dear Family of Mary!
"Dear children! Also today I desire to say to you that my Son has permitted me to remain this long together with you because I desire to educate you, teach you and lead you to peace. I desire to lead you to my Son. That is why, dear children, accept my messages and live my messages. Accept the Gospel, live, live the Gospel! Know, dear children, that the Mother always prays for all of you, intercedes for all of you before her Son. Thank you, dear children, for also today for having responded to my call!" (Message given through Ivan, 04/20/18)
 
Our Lady told us in this message that Jesus has permitted her to remain this long with us because of a desire she has! Jesus has been and is listening to Our Lady and giving her permission to do as she desires! She has told us that before:
 
December 25, 2002 "Dear children! This is a time of great graces, but also a time of great trials for all those who desire to follow the way of peace. Because of that, little children, again I call you to pray, pray, pray, not with words but with the heart. Live my messages and be converted. Be conscious of this gift that God has permitted me to be with you, especially today when in my arms I have little Jesus - the King of Peace. I desire to give you peace, and that you carry it in your hearts and give it to others until God's peace begins to rule the world. Thank you for having responded to my call."
 
Our Lady desires to give us peace, to bring Jesus to us, to lead us on the way of holiness and prayer. God supports Our Lady's desire, and is permitting her to come to us in these days to help us to respond and convert.
 
It has indeed been a long time now! Almost 37 years!! But her desire remains the same. "Accept my messages and live my messages. Accept the Gospel, live, live the Gospel!"  She wants us to become saints! She wants us to become holy and live in the peace of holiness. Way back in 1987 she told us:
August 25, 1987 "Dear children! Today also I am calling you all in order that each one of you decides to live my messages. God has permitted me also in this year, which the Church has dedicated to me, to be able to speak to you and to be able to spur you on to holiness. Dear children, seek from God the graces which He is giving you through me. I am ready to intercede with God for all that you seek so that your holiness may be complete. Therefore, dear children, do not forget to seek, because God has permitted me to obtain graces for you. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Our Lady wants to spur us on! To be our shepherdess, who guides and urges her flock to safety. She has continued to spur us on all these years, month after month, with messages that speak to our hearts and move us forward in conversion. She wants to do this!! God is permitting her to do it! She is free, as we are all. And in her freedom she is coming to us, choosing us in this time to be her little ones. She wants to take care of us, as a good mother, a good shepherdess does!!

All I can say is this continuing choice of Our Lady to be with us through Medjugorje, through her apparitions, through her messages and through her presence in that holy place, is a massive grace! Just watch the Fruit of Medjugorje testimonies on our web page. One after another, we see the fruit of Our Lady's desire to be with us, each one of us, in Medjugorje!! It is mind-blowing!

Let's thank Mother Mary today for desiring to come to us, teach us, educate us, and lead us to peace, to her Son. She desires to gather us in. She loves us. Thank you, Mother Mary!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

April 20, 2018 - Our Lady's apparition to Ivan

 
Picture taken April 20,2018 during the prayer group meeting with Ivan.
  
  
April 20, 2018

Dear Family of Mary!
Ivan's prayer group met for prayer around the statue of Our Lady on Mount Podbrdo on April 20, 2018. At about 10:00 pm Our Lady appeared to Ivan. After the apparition, Ivan shared his experience with Our Lady and her message. Here are his words:
 
As after every meeting with our Lady, also tonight I would like to bring closer to you what is the most from tonight's meeting. Also tonight Our Lady came to us joyful and happy and at the beginning she greeted all of us with her motherly greeting, "Praised be Jesus, my dear children!" Then with her arms extended over us here, for a longer time she prayed and then in a special way she prayed over those who are present who are sick here. And after that she said:
 
'Dear children! Also today I desire to say to you that my Son has permitted me to remain this long together with you because I desire to educate you, teach you and lead you to peace. I desire to lead you to my Son. That is why, dear children, accept my messages and live my messages. Accept the Gospel, live, live the Gospel! Know, dear children, that the Mother always prays for all of you, intercedes for all of you before her Son. Thank you, dear children, for also today for having responded to my call!'
 
Then Our Lady blessed all of us with the Motherly blessing. She blessed everything that you brought to be blessed. And then I recommended all of you, your needs, your intentions, your families, in a special way all of those who are present who are sick.
 
After that Our Lady, for a while in a special way, prayed for peace. And after that prayer she left in an illuminated Sign of the Cross with the greeting, "Go in peace, my dear children!"   Thank you.   (Onsite English translation by Nancy Latta)

Mary TV: April 20, 2018 Reflection - Be the first!!

 
(c)Mateo Ivankovic 2018
  
  
April 20, 2018

Dear Family of Mary!
"...Apostles of my love, you must pray much and cleanse your hearts so that you may be the first to walk on the way of my Son..." (April 2, 2018)

I have had several people ask me what Our Lady means by this phrase, 'that you may be the first to walk on the way of my Son." Does she want us to be the "best" or the most renowned? Doesn't she urge us to humility?
 
Good question.
 
In this part of the message Our Lady first of all calls us to "pray much". She wants us to really give time to prayer. Over and over again, she has called us to prayer in almost every message. She has used the word pray or prayer over 2000 times in her messages. Surely prayer is at the top of her agenda for us. And with good reason. Without prayer we have no communication with God. We have no avenue for the Holy Spirit to travel on into our hearts. Prayer provides the possibility for communion with Jesus.
 
And she calls us to cleanse our hearts. She wants us to be pure, free of habitual sin, delivered of all evil inclinations and healed of the consequences of our sins. She wants us free to be children of God. Renunciation, fasting, and confession are the tools for such cleansing!
 
And then we get to the troublesome part of this message. "...so that you may be the first to walk on the way of my Son..." Once we have prayed much and cleansed our hearts, what will we be like? Will we be the greatest of those who walk the way of her Son? The best, the smartest? No, we will be the "first" to walk on the way...we will be the quickest of all to respond to the call of Jesus. We may not be the best, the smartest, the holiest to walk on the way of Jesus. But we will be the fastest to respond to Jesus when He calls us. We will be so devoted to Jesus, so ready to hear His call, that we will respond to His inspirations with alacrity. There will be no impediment to our "yes" to the Holy Spirit, nothing will be gumming up the works!

We can take St. Paul as an example. In today's Mass, the first reading is from Acts 9:10-20. It is the account of St. Paul's conversion. After his encounter with Jesus in the desert, St. Paul is blinded, and spends three days fasting and praying. It is a crash course in cleansing of the heart!! Then he is healed, baptized and immediately gets to work, "He began at once to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God." St. Paul did not hesitate, he was the "first" to walk the way of Jesus, spreading the Gospel. And he never stopped for the rest of his life on earth.
 
I think that is what it means to be the first! We must be totally surrendered to Jesus, so that whatever He asks of us, we will do. No hesitation. No balking. Always yes!!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: April 19, 2018 Reflection - The communion which emanates from my Son!


(c)Mateo Ivankovic 2018
  
  
April 19, 2018

Dear Family of Mary!
"...Apostles of my love, you must pray much and cleanse your hearts so that you may be the first to walk on the way of my Son, that you may be the just who are united with the justice of my Son. My children, as apostles of my love, you must be united in the communion which emanates from my Son, so that my children who do not know my Son may recognize the communion of love and may come to desire to walk on the way of life, the way of unity with my Son. Thank you." (April 2, 2018)

I must admit that I have not quite comprehended what Our Lady is asking in these lines from the April 2, 2018 message. Being cleansed and praying much makes sense. But then she talks about the justice of her Son, and being united in the communion which emanates from Jesus. This has been mysterious to me.

But I was led to a very beautiful passage from St. Faustina's Diary that I think explains it to me. I think Our Lady very much wants us to develop a relationship with Jesus that is a complete surrender to Him. It is a giving of ourselves that makes us sacrifices to His love. We become surrendered in such a way that we live His will out of love for Him, and keep nothing for ourselves. This creates a communion, because Jesus loves us in the very same way, giving Himself completely to us. But let's read St. Faustina's account of this communion between Jesus and herself:
135 During the third probation, the Lord gave me to understand that I should offer myself to Him so that He could do with me as He pleased. I was to remain standing before Him as a victim offering. At first, I was quite frightened, as I felt myself to be so utterly miserable and knew very well that this was the case. I answered the Lord once again, "I am misery itself; how can I be a hostage [for others]?
You do not understand this today. Tomorrow, during your adoration, I will make it known to you. My heart trembled, as did my soul, so deeply did these words sink into my soul. The word of God is living.
When I came to the adoration, I felt within my soul that I had entered the temple of the living God, whose majesty is great and incomprehensible. And He made known to me what even the purest spirits are in His sight. Although I saw nothing externally, God's presence pervaded me. At that very moment my intellect was strangely illumined. A vision passed before the eyes of my soul; it was like the vision Jesus had in the Garden of Olives. First, the physical sufferings and all the circumstances that would increase them; [then] the full scope of the spiritual sufferings and those that no one would know about. Everything entered into the vision: false suspicions, loss of good name. I've summarized it here, but this knowledge was already so clear that what I went through later on was in no way different from what I had known at that moment. My name is to be: "sacrifice."

When the vision ended, a cold sweat bathed my forehead. Jesus made it known to me that, even if I did not give my consent to this, I could still be saved; and He would not lessen His graces, but would still continue to have the same intimate relationship with me, so that even if I did not consent to make this sacrifice, God's generosity would not lessen thereby.

136 And the Lord gave me to know that the whole mystery depended on me, on my free consent to the sacrifice given with full use of my faculties. In this free and conscious act lies the whole power and value before His Majesty. Even if none of these things for which I offered myself would ever happen to me, before the Lord everything was as though it had already been consummated.
At that moment, I realized I was entering into communion with the incomprehensible
Majesty. I felt that God was waiting for my word, for my consent. Then my spirit immersed itself in the Lord, and I said, "Do with me as You please. I subject myself to Your will. As of today, Your holy will shall be my nourishment, and I will be faithful to Your commands with the help of Your grace. Do with me as You please. I beg You, O Lord, be with me at every moment of my life."
137 Suddenly, when I had consented to the sacrifice with all my heart and all my will, God's presence pervaded me. My soul became immersed in God and was inundated with such happiness that I cannot put in writing even the smallest part of it. I felt that His Majesty was enveloping me. I was extraordinarily fused with God. I saw that God was well pleased with me and, reciprocally, my spirit drowned itself in Him. Aware of this union with God, I felt I was especially loved and, in turn, I loved with all my soul. A great mystery took place during that adoration, a mystery between the Lord and myself. It seemed to me that I would die of love [at the sight of] His glance. I spoke much with the Lord, without uttering a single word. And the Lord said to me, You are the delight of My Heart; from today on, every one of your acts, even the very smallest, will be a delight to My eyes, whatever you do. At that moment I felt transconsecrated. My earthly body was the same, but my soul was different; God was now living in it with the totality of His delight. This is not a feeling, but a conscious reality that nothing can obscure.

138 A great mystery has been accomplished between God and me. Courage and strength have remained in my soul. When the time of adoration came to an end, I came out and calmly faced everything I had feared so much before. When I came out into the corridor, a great suffering and humiliation, at the hands of a certain person, was awaiting me. I accepted it with submission to a higher will and snuggled closely to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, letting Him know that I was ready for that for which I had offered myself. (St. Faustina's Diary 135-138)
 
St. Faustina was invited to make of herself a complete offering to Jesus, so that all of her actions would be from now on subject to His will. She said that when she made that offering, she entered into communion with the incomprehensible Majesty! As Our Lady said: "My children, as apostles of my love, you must be united in the communion which emanates from my Son..." Like St. Faustina, we are being offered a life of surrender to Jesus that creates a communion of love between each of us and Jesus. This communion of love radiates from our souls to others, strengthening them and drawing them to Jesus. This communion is similar to the communion that the Father offered Our Lady at the Annunciation. When she said, "Be it done to me according to Thy word", the communion of love was established in a spectacular way. God's will was for Mary to be the Mother of Jesus. And a communion of love was forged that day between Mary and the entire Trinity that would reverberate throughout history. The love that radiates from that communion has drawn us all to Jesus. Our little communions with Jesus will be extensions of that great communion of love!

Well, St. Faustina said that after her yes to God, "God was now living in [my soul] with the totality of His delight. This is not a feeling, but a conscious reality that nothing can obscure." St. Faustina was totally changed by this communion of love that she received through her yes to Jesus' invitation. She now was conscious of God within her. It was not just a hope or desire but a reality.
 
I believe that Our Lady is moving us towards this kind of relationship with Jesus, a surrender to Him that will bond us to Him in the deepest of manners. We will become praise! We will become bearers of light and hope, because Jesus will be living within us.
 
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
