Mother Mary said at Fatima: "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the sure way which will lead you to God." St. Thomas Aquinas said: "The things we love tell us who we are!" With that in mind, I will try to post each day something about Our Blessed Lady, items about the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and public domain Catholic books too! I pray you enjoy my ministry!
Below are two albums of pictures that I created:
1. Our grand daughter Adrianna.
2. Tears of Mary!
Pray, work and witness with love for the Kingdom of Heaven that it may be good for you here on earth.
Little
children, God will bless your effort a hundred fold; you will be
witnesses among peoples, souls of unbelievers will feel the grace of
conversion and Heaven will be grateful for your efforts and sacrifices.
Little children, witness with the Rosary in hand that you are mine and decide for holiness.
Thank you for having responded to my call."

"Dear
children! My call for you is prayer. May prayer be a joy for you and a
wreath which binds you to God. Little children, trials will come, and
you will not be strong, and sin will reign but, if you are mine, you
will win, because your refuge will be the Heart of my Son Jesus.
Therefore, little children, return to prayer until prayer becomes life
for you in the day and the night. Thank you for having responded to my
call." (July 25, 2019)
On Sunday, Our Lady will give
us another message. We have become so secure in that reality. She never
leaves us. She always comes. And she gives us the message because she is
faithful and she knows how much we need her. I like to look
back at the last 25th message to again take time with it. There is a
continuity. On July 25, Our Lady spoke to us about the first stone,
prayer! She probably speaks the most about prayer. Prayer is
foundational to her entire school. When I do a find in my message
document, it says that there are more than 1000 times that 'pray' or
'prayer' is found. I suspect there are many more than 1000. She never tires of calling us to prayer. "My call for you is prayer."
I would say her fundamental call is prayer. Why? Without prayer we
cannot find God. Without prayer we have no connection with God. Prayer
is a living relationship with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Prayer brings us into the Communion of the Trinity. Prayer binds us to
God. And only God can lead us to eternal life. Without prayer we have no
future, no hope, no truth, no light. Our Lady tells us:
"Prayer a wreath which binds you to God...." (7/25/19)
"Therefore, little children, return to prayer until prayer becomes life for you in the day and the night." (7/25/19)
"Prayer is indispensable to life." (1/1/84)
"When
you pray, you must feel more. Prayer is a conversation with God. To
pray means to listen to God. Prayer is useful for you because after
prayer everything is clear. Prayer makes one know happiness. Prayer can
teach you how to cry. Prayer can teach how to blossom. Prayer is not a
joke. Prayer is a dialogue with God." (10/20/84)
"Dear
children! Today I call you to prayer. I am with you and I love you all.
I am your Mother and I wish that your hearts be similar to my heart.
Little children, without prayer you cannot live and say that you are
mine. Prayer is joy. Prayer is what the human heart desires. Therefore,
get closer, little children, to my Immaculate Heart and you will
discover God." (11/25/94)
"...pray, pray, pray, because prayer is the foundation of your peace." (6/25/97)
"Dear
children! Today I invite you to respond to my call to prayer. I desire,
dear children, that during this time you find a corner for personal
prayer. I desire to lead you towards prayer with the heart. Only in this
way will you comprehend that your life is empty without prayer. You
will discover the meaning of your life when you discover God in prayer.
That is why, little children, open the door of your heart and you will
comprehend that prayer is joy without which you cannot live. Thank you
for having responded to my call." (7/25/97)
"Also
today I am calling all of you to prayer. You cannot live without
prayer, because prayer is a chain which brings you closer to God." (1/25/16)
"Dear
children! Today I am calling you to be people of prayer. Pray until
prayer becomes a joy for you and a meeting with the Most High. He will
transform your hearts and you will become people of love and peace. Do
not forget, little children, that Satan is strong and wants to draw you
away from prayer. You, do not forget that prayer is the secret key of
meeting with God. That is why I am with you to lead you. Do not give up
on prayer. Thank you for having responded to my call." (8/25/17)
"You must comprehend that your prayer is a conversation of a child with the Father..." (4/2/11)
"Dear
children, you must understand that one has to pray. Prayer is no joke;
prayer is a conversation with God. In every prayer you must listen to
the voice of God. Without prayer one cannot live. Prayer is life." (Jelena 9/10/84)

"Is she not a rainbow in the clouds reaching towards God, the
pledge of a covenant of peace? "Look upon the rainbow, and bless Him
that made it; surely it is beautiful in its brightness. It encompasses
the heaven about with the circle of its glory, the hands of the Most
High have displayed it." (Pope Pius XII)
August 22, 2019 The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary! Dear Family of Mary!
Today we honor Mary as our Queen!! This feast has not been long
declared. Pope Pius XII declared it on October 11, 1954, just four years
after he proclaimed the Dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin
Mary in 1950. It made sense that if Mary had been assumed into heaven,
body and soul, she would now be seated at the right hand of her Son, in
royal splendor. And so a feast in her honor as Queen of Heaven would
benefit all the faithful! We would have recourse to our Queen for all
our ills. Here is an excerpt from the encyclical. It seems
long, but you will love reading it, as it speaks so well of the joy and
glory of Our Lady!! The more we understand how God has raised her up,
the better we will recognize the correctness of our recourse to her. She
is our Mother and she is the Queen!! We are children of the Queen of
Heaven!!
Also, all the concerns and problems that Pope Pius XII
enumerates have come to pass. We are in such need of a rescue. It is
Our Lady of Medjugorje, Queen of Peace, who has come! She is with us in
Medjugorje to answer all the needs Pope Pius XII put in her hands.
As she said to us:
June 25, 2007 "Dear children! Also today, with great joy in
my heart, I call you to conversion. Little children, do not forget
that you are all important in this great plan, which God leads through
Medjugorje. God desires to convert the entire world and to call it to
salvation and to the way towards Himself, who is the beginning and the
end of every being. In a special way, little children, from the depth of
my heart, I call you all to open yourselves to this great grace that
God gives you through my presence here. I desire to thank each of you
for the sacrifices and prayers. I am with you and I bless you all. Thank
you for having responded to my call."
AD CAELI REGINAM
ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XII ON PROCLAIMING THE QUEENSHIP OF MARY TO THE VENERABLE BRETHREN, THE PATRIARCHS, PRIMATES, ARCHBISHOPS, BISHIOPS, AND OTHER LOCAL ORDINARIES IN PEACE AND COMMUNION WITH THE HOLY SEE
47.
Since we are convinced, after long and serious reflection, that great
good will accrue to the Church if this solidly established truth shines
forth more clearly to all, like a luminous lamp raised aloft, by Our
Apostolic authority We decree and establish the feast of Mary's
Queenship, which is to be celebrated every year in the whole world on
the 31st of May. (Note: it has since been transferred to August 22)
We likewise ordain that on the same day the consecration of the human
race to the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary be renewed,
cherishing the hope that through such consecration a new era may begin,
joyous in Christian peace and in the triumph of religion.
48. Let all, therefore, try to approach
with greater trust the throne of grace and mercy of our Queen and
Mother, and beg for strength in adversity, light in darkness,
consolation in sorrow; above all let them strive to free themselves from
the slavery of sin and offer an unceasing homage, filled with filial
loyalty, to their Queenly Mother. Let her churches be thronged by the
faithful, her feast-days honored; may the beads of the Rosary be in the
hands of all; may Christians gather, in small numbers and large, to sing
her praises in churches, in homes, in hospitals, in prisons. May Mary's
name be held in highest reverence, a name sweeter than honey and more
precious than jewels; may none utter blasphemous words, the sign of a
defiled soul, against that name graced with such dignity and revered for
its motherly goodness; let no one be so bold as to speak a syllable
which lacks the respect due to her name.
49. All, according to their state, should
strive to bring alive the wondrous virtues of our heavenly Queen and
most loving Mother through constant effort of mind and manner. Thus will
it come about that all Christians, in honoring and imitating their
sublime Queen and Mother, will realize they are truly brothers, and with
all envy and avarice thrust aside, will promote love among classes,
respect the rights of the weak, cherish peace. No one should think
himself a son of Mary, worthy of being received under her powerful
protection, unless, like her, he is just, gentle and pure, and shows a
sincere desire for true brotherhood, not harming or injuring but rather
helping and comforting others.
50. In some countries of the world there
are people who are unjustly persecuted for professing their Christian
faith and who are deprived of their divine and human rights to freedom;
up till now reasonable demands and repeated protests have availed
nothing to remove these evils. May the powerful Queen of creation, whose
radiant glance banishes storms and tempests and brings back cloudless
skies, look upon these her innocent and tormented children with eyes of
mercy; may the Virgin, who is able to subdue violence beneath her foot,
grant to them that they may soon enjoy the rightful freedom to practice
their religion openly, so that, while serving the cause of the Gospel,
they may also contribute to the strength and progress of nations by
their harmonious cooperation, by the practice of extraordinary virtues
which are a glowing example in the midst of bitter trials.
51. By this Encyclical Letter We are
instituting a feast so that all may recognize more clearly and venerate
more devoutly the merciful and maternal sway of the Mother of God. We
are convinced that this feast will help to preserve, strengthen and
prolong that peace among nations which daily is almost destroyed by
recurring crises. Is she not a rainbow in the clouds reaching
towards God, the pledge of a covenant of peace?[Gen 9:12-17] "Look upon
the rainbow, and bless Him that made it; surely it is beautiful in its
brightness. It encompasses the heaven about with the circle of its
glory, the hands of the Most High have displayed it." Whoever,
therefore, reverences the Queen of heaven and earth - and let no one
consider himself exempt from this tribute of a grateful and loving soul -
let him invoke the most effective of Queens, the Mediatrix of peace;
let him respect and preserve peace, which is not wickedness unpunished
nor freedom without restraint, but a well-ordered harmony under the rule
of the will of God; to its safeguarding and growth the gentle urgings
and commands of the Virgin Mary impel us.
52. Earnestly desiring that the Queen and
Mother of Christendom may hear these Our prayers, and by her peace make
happy a world shaken by hate, and may, after this exile show unto us
all Jesus, Who will be our eternal peace and joy, to you, Venerable
Brothers, and to your flocks, as a promise of God's divine help and a
pledge of Our love, from Our heart We impart the Apostolic Benediction.
Isn't this beautiful!!! Such a joy!!! Notice this sentence:
"We likewise ordain that on the same day the consecration
of the human race to the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary be
renewed, cherishing the hope that through such consecration a new era may begin, joyous in Christian peace and in the triumph of religion."
I believe that Satan noticed this sentence as well. He began in grave
earnest in the 50's to destroy us all by unleashing the worst of all
lies: "There is no God, you are God. There is no eternal life. This life
is all you have." It was his last great effort to defeat God, by
stealing away God's children. And so God sent the Mother, to retrieve
her children and give them back to the real Father in Heaven,
establishing a new time, a new era of peace. Our Lady came to
Medjugorje to begin the showdown with the enemy. And we are now her
extended hands, her instruments in the battle. This is it!! We must
fight with her. Let us pray: The Litany of the Queenship of Mary
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

Let Us Pray:
God of mercy, listen to the prayers of Your servants who have
honored Your handmaid Mary as Mother and Queen. Grant that by your
grace we may serve You and our neighbor on earth and be welcomed into
Your kingdom. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
August 21, 2019 St Pius X "The Rosary is the most beautiful
and the most rich in graces of all prayers; it is the prayer that
touches most the Heart of the Mother of God...and if you wish peace to
reign in your homes, recite the family Rosary." (Pope St. Pius X) Dear Family of Mary!
Denis and I have become more and more aware of the spiritual warfare
surrounding Medjugorje in these days. The battle between light and
darkness has intensified. In our Church, in our societies, in our work
places and in our families, there is a battle going on. But we must be
very clear about this, our enemy is Satan. Evil is a person. And that
person is the Fallen Angel, Satan. Yes, many people are behaving in evil
ways. But the one who is instigating it all is the Devil. And God still
hopes to save each human being, no matter how seemingly lost. To do
that Satan must be defeated. And that defeat has been planned out in Heaven, by the Father. As St. Maximillian Kolbe said:
"The Immaculate alone has from God the promise of victory over Satan.
She seeks souls that will consecrate themselves entirely to her, that
will become in her hands forceful instruments for the defeat of Satan
and the spread of God's kingdom." Our Lady has received the
promise of victory of Satan, and she is looking for souls who will
become her instruments, who together with her will bring Satan's plans
down. I believe that in Medjugorje, Our Lady launched her most concerted
effort to form her faithful instruments. It is by living Our Lady's
school in Medjugorje that we can be formed into reliable and trustworthy
companions in the battle that Our Lady is waging against her adversary.
Our Lady's school is simple but powerful. She has arranged her teaching around 5 simple components: Prayer Fasting The Holy Bible Confession The Holy Eucharist
These are her five stones! Similar to the five smooth stones that David
picked up as he approached Goliath, these stones, though seemingly
small and harmless, are in fact deadly for the Devil. Why? Because, when
lived with the heart, they form us into faithful children of God, who
will not be overcome by the assaults of the enemy, but instead will
advance the Kingdom of Heaven by their lives. Our Lady needs
us to be those faithful children. She needs us to begin (or begin again)
to live her messages, which all come out of these five stones. In
living those messages, we will be her instruments who will help her
build the new time, the time of Peace!! So Denis and I want to
begin a concerted effort to live the five stones, and to support all of
you in living them. We believe that this is the best way to do spiritual
warfare against the enemy. He would get us all tangled up in worries
and fears, focusing on the evil and being discouraged. But we are called
to focus on Our Lady and on her messages as the way to peace and hope.
And If we do this successfully, we, under Our Lady's leadership, will
help taken down the enemy of our souls and vanquished his kingdom.
During our Daily Rosary we will work on the "stones" and we will add a
succinct Spiritual Warfare prayer as well. Thank you to all of you
shipmates who join us in prayer. If you cannot pray with us, don't
worry, you can live the 5 stones in any circumstance. We are all joined by
our love of Mother Mary!! And she needs us to bring about her victory
of the evil one. Thank you for responding to Our Lady's call:
June 25, 2019 "Dear
children! I am thanking God for each of you. In a special way, little
children, thank you for having responded to my call. I am preparing you
for the new times that you may be firm in faith and persevering in
prayer, so that the Holy Spirit may work through you and renew the face
of the earth. I am praying with you for peace which is the most precious
gift, even though Satan wants war and hatred. You, little children, be
my extended hands and proudly go with God. Thank you for having
responded to my call."
August 20, 2019 St. Bernard Dear Family of Mary!
I keep coming back to the August 2, 2019 message, as if there is
something in it that I am missing. I think it is becoming clearer to me
now. I think this message is Our Lady's clarion call to us, a call to
run to Jesus, to fix our eyes on Him, and to surrender to Him
completely, now! As a good mother, she is calling us into safety. She
sees a danger that is growing, and she wants her children to be
protected. She wants us in the right place. And that place is in the
Heart of her Son. Here is the message again. Prayerfully read it with what I said in mind:
Dear children! Great is the love of my Son. If you were to come to know the greatness of His love, you would never cease to adore and thank Him. He is always alive with you in the Eucharist, because the Eucharist is His Heart. The Eucharist is the heart of faith. He has never left you. Even when you tried to go away from Him, He has not [left] you. That is why my motherly heart is happy when I watch how you-filled with love-return to Him, when I see that you are coming to Him by the way of reconciliation, love, and hope.
My motherly heart knows that when you set out on the way of faith, you are shoots-buds. But along with prayer and fasting you will be fruits, my flowers, apostles of my love; you will be carriers of light and will illuminate all those around you with love and wisdom.
My children, as a mother I am imploring you: pray, think, and contemplate.
Everything beautiful, painful and joyful that happens to you-all of
this makes you grow spiritually, so that my Son may grow in you.
My children, surrender yourselves to Him,
believe Him,
trust in His love,
let Him lead you.
Let the Eucharist be the place where you will feed your souls,
and afterwards, will spread love and truth-will bear witness to my Son.
Thank you. (August 2, 2019)
Mother Mary is calling us to her Son, in the depths of our hearts,
to find Him. She knows that we need to be totally His, or we will be
washed away in the flood of disbelief that threatens us. There is no
more time to waste. Run to Jesus! Fix your eyes on His beautiful Face.
Open your heart to His love. Be forgiven by Him in the Sacrament of
Reconciliation. Receive His Body and His Blood. Adore Him in the Blessed
Sacrament. Speak to Him all day long. Serve Him in your neighbor. Trust
Him in every situation. Be filled with His peace and give it to others.
Mary has been drawing us to her Son for 38 years. We cannot resist any longer.
August 19, 2019 St. John Eudes Dear Family of Mary!
Today we remember St. John Eudes, who understood the presence of Jesus
in the Eucharist, and the great love that awaits us in Adoration of the
Blessed Sacrament. He once said:
You
should adore our Lord Jesus Christ, who makes Himself present to us on
the altar, so that we might offer him the homage and adoration we owe.
Pray that just as He changes the lower earthly nature of bread and wine
into His Body and Blood he might change and transform also the
sluggishness, coldness and dryness of our earthly and arid heart into
the fire, tenderness and agility of the holy divine affections and
dispositions of His divine and heavenly heart. Then you should remember
that Christians are one with Jesus Christ, as members with their head . .
.. They should also be there as hosts and victims who are but one host
just as they are one priest with Jesus Christ. They need to be immolated
and sacrificed with the same Jesus Christ for the glory of God.
Our Lady was the first adorer of Jesus. From the moment of
Jesus' conception in her womb, she adored Him, present within her. Her
child is her God! She has urged us to adore Jesus, to spend time with
Him and to contemplate His merciful Heart. In this adoration, we are
healed and changed forever. In this loving encounter, we become who we
are meant to be, true children of God. Here are some messages that Mary
has given us. They are food for our souls in this perilous time, when
love for God is being snuffed out all around us. But NOT in us!!
April 02, 2019"Dear children,
as a mother who knows her children, I know that you are crying out for
my Son. I know that you are crying out for truth, for peace, for that
which is pure and not deceptive. That is why I, as a mother, through the
love of God, am addressing you and calling you that, by prayer and a
pure and open heart within yourselves, you may come to know my Son - His
love, His merciful heart. My Son saw beauty in all things. He seeks the
good in all souls - even that which is little and hidden - so as to
forgive evil. Therefore, my children, apostles of my love, I am calling
you to adore Him, to ceaselessly give Him thanks, and to be worthy.
Because He has spoken to you divine words, the words of God, the words
which are for all and forever. Therefore, my children, live joy,
radiance, unity and mutual love. This is what you need in today's world.
In this way you will be apostles of my love. In this way you will
witness my Son in the right way. Thank you."
August 02, 2019 "Dear children,
great is the love of my Son. If you were to come to know the greatness
of His love, you would never cease to adore and thank Him. He is always
alive with you in the Eucharist, because the Eucharist is His Heart. The
Eucharist is the heart of faith. He has never left you. Even when you
tried to go away from Him, He has not left you. That is why my motherly
heart is happy when I watch how you - filled with love - return to Him,
when I see that you are coming to Him by the way of reconciliation,
love, and hope. My motherly heart knows that when you set out on the way
of faith, you are shoots - buds. But along with prayer and fasting you
will be fruits, my flowers, apostles of my love; you will be carriers of
light and will illuminate all those around you with love and wisdom. My
children, as a mother I am imploring you: pray, think, and contemplate.
Everything beautiful, painful and joyful that happens to you - all of
this makes you grow spiritually, so that my Son may grow in you. My
children, surrender yourselves to Him, believe Him, trust in His love,
let Him lead you. Let the Eucharist be the place where you will feed
your souls, and afterwards, will spread love and truth - will bear
witness to my Son. Thank you."
July 2, 2009 "Dear children! I am
calling you because I need you. I need hearts ready for immeasurable
love. Hearts that are not burdened by vanity. Hearts that are ready to
love as my Son loved, that are ready to sacrifice themselves as my Son
sacrificed Himself. I need you. In order to come with me, forgive
yourselves, forgive others and adore my Son. Adore Him also for those
who have not come to know Him, those who do not love Him... Therefore, I
need you. Therefore, I call you. Thank you."
Dear children of Medjugorje, praised be Jesus and Mary!
1. On August 2nd, 2019, Mirjana received her
monthly apparition at the Blue Cross, surrounded by a large crowd of
pilgrims. After the apparition, she conveyed this message: "Dear children,
great is the love of my Son. If you were to come to know the greatness
of His love, you would never cease to adore and thank Him. He is
always alive with you in the Eucharist, because the Eucharist is His
Heart. The Eucharist is the heart of faith. He has never left you. Even
when you tried to go away from Him, He has not [left] you. That is why
my motherly heart is happy when I watch how you-filled with
love-return to Him, when I see that you are coming to Him by the way of
reconciliation, love, and hope. My motherly heart knows that when you
set out on the way of faith, you are shoots-buds. But along with
prayer and fasting you will be fruits, my flowers, apostles of my love;
you will be carriers of light and will illuminate all those around you
with love and wisdom. My children, as a mother I am imploring you:
pray, think, and contemplate. Everything beautiful, painful and joyful
that happens to you-all of this makes you grow spiritually, so that my
Son may grow in you. My children, surrender yourselves to Him, believe
Him, trust in His love, let Him lead you. Let the Eucharist be the
place where you will feed your souls, and afterwards, will spread love
and truth-will bear witness to my Son. Thank you."
As on all sites linked to Medjugorje, at the request of the
authorities, we won't post the video of Mirjana's apparition as before.
Obedience is always blessed!
2. "Little children, trials will come!"
The Queen of the Prophets has never been clearer than today, and that
is no accident (See PS1). The worst thing for us to do would be to
ignore her warning, because it is serious. For 38 years, she has shown
us the way to peace and even to prosperity (see message of 25 Dec. 1999
for the 3rd millennium.) But despite her warnings about the risks we
take by not listening to her, her children's response has been too
weak. She must now warn us that difficult times are near. As if the
world weren't already going through hard times! Kyrie eleison! Take
note, however, we are not talking about the end of the world. In fact,
Mary tells us about future generations, she is "preparing us for the
New Times", and of course for the triumph of her Immaculate Heart.
Obviously, when a mother prepares her child for something, she does not
prepare him for an event in the future that he will not experience. On
the contrary, she prepares her child for what he will see in his
lifetime. In other words, you and I will probably see these New Times!
Every triumph is preceded by a conflict or a battle, for one does not
triumph over peace. We are already in the middle of this battle. That
much is obvious. So many wounds, so much suffering! The closer victory
approaches, the more intense the battle becomes, because the enemy,
seeing the end of his power closing in, behaves like an aggressive
animal before collapsing having been wounded to death. With God it
is never too late. We may no longer be able to prevent trials from
happening, but we can soften and shorten them. Far be it from me to
want to explain here the kinds of trials that await us, let us instead
focus on ways to draw upon God's grace and His extraordinary mercy so
that we may survive in the midst of these waves that overpower us.
Every authentic prophecy contains its share of hope, and today Mary
tells us where to find true refuge, the one that never deceives: The
Heart of her Son Jesus, who will always remain present to us through
the Eucharist. "He is still alive with you in the Eucharist, for the
Eucharist is his Heart. The Eucharist is the heart of faith. He has
never abandoned you, even when you tried to move away from Him..." She
also said, "Those of my children who have faith - true faith - are
happy no matter what, because they begin to experience heavenly
happiness while on earth." Now who are those who have true faith? Those
who cling to Christ with their whole being. The assurances
offered to us by the world and its excessive materialism can no longer
assure us of anything. If I take out life insurance, it only works when
I'm dead! Jesus alone is our true security, our safe haven, our true
Life insurance! 3."Sin will reign", Mary said.
"But if you are mine, you will overcome it because your refuge will be
the Heart of my Son Jesus. That is why the world needs worshipers, to
allow the Lord to reign again in the heart of the world. Mary asked
that there be a chapel of perpetual adoration in each parish. Seeing
her Son adored by His children is her most treasured dream. When we
adore Jesus hidden in the tabernacle, or exposed on the altar, even if
distractions may disturb us, Jesus is there alive, He radiates in the
invisible and He acts in our souls! His whole life is there before us,
like an open book with gushing flames. We are gradually transformed,
because we are filled and enriched with Him. Why do so many Catholics
today doubt the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist? Don't they know
that Satan himself is aware of this presence? Why do Satanists, who
always seek to prolong Christ's passion with their sacrileges, smash
tabernacles to steal the hosts? Don't they have enough bakeries near
their homes to find bread?
It is beautiful to see that Jesus extends his divine rays of love
and light not only on those who adore Him, but that this powerful
radiation of love extends even to the surroundings! We move from the
natural to the supernatural, and fruit is borne. I know a priest whose
mission is to create chapels of perpetual adoration in the parishes
that invite him. He told me that in 1984, the city of Trieste had the
highest suicide rate in all of Italy. Not to mention other evils such
as crime, rape, theft, divorces, abortions, occult practices, etc.
These statistics are in the city's records. That very year, he founded
a chapel of perpetual adoration. Well, in just one year, the suicide
rate fell by one half! 4. Rome has arrived! Thanks
to the good work of Bishop Hoser, the Pope's envoy for the pastoral
care of Medjugorje, many prelates did not shy away from coming to
celebrate the Eucharist in Medjugorje in recent weeks! From Rome came
Archbishop Rino Fisichella, President of the Pontifical Counsel for the
New Evangelization and Cardinal Angelo De Donatis; and then the
Cardinal of Sarajevo, Mgr. Pulic; The Apostolic Nuncio for Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Mgr. Luiggi Pezzuto.
Even France is starting to budge! We already had Mgr. Dominique Rey,
Bishop of Toulon, then the Archbishop of Avignon, Mgr. Jean-Pierre
Cattenoz.
Mgr. Dominique Rey, Bishop of Toulon
This marks a new turning point for the Marian Shrine of Medjugorje, which is very positive and promising! 5. When there are too many mosquitoes in a room,
a device is plugged in that emits a scent or sound that scares them
away. Our prayer, on the other hand, is like an incense that rises to
God, like a fragrance that delights His heart. And prayer annoys the
demons so much that they run away from this incense. So let us not
forget this touching confidence disclosed by Our Lady in May 2017: "The
prayers you address to me are the most beautiful roses of love for me.
I cannot fail to be there where I smell the scent of roses!" Do you
know that each of our Ave Maria's is a rose offered to the Mother of
God?
6. Van and France. Because several people have
expressed a great interest in the young Vietnamese Marcel Van whom I
quoted in July, here is a new text that concerns France. I hope it
will speak not only to the hearts of my dear people, but also to those
from other countries who will take into their hearts this blessed
country who should behave as the elder daughter of the Churchand who is
still so far from it! Jesus (Nov. 12 1945)! O little
apostle of my love, everywhere in France my love is calling out for
help. And what help is it asking for? For the relief of prayer which,
by reviving the flame of love, will make the hearts of the enemies of
my love more pliable. In order to do the right thing, wherever there
are French people, the incense of prayer should rise up to my love. O
France, I love you; and you French people, do you actually know what
the feelings of my heart are towards you? Do you see my tears mingling
with those of a foreigner who is busy writing down the words I am
dictating to him here, for you? O France, I press you in my arms, I
give you a kiss. It is not possible that you should take advantage of
this mark of tenderness to strike me in the face. Alas! You, the
children of the country I particularly love, how will you behave
towards my love? Will you deliberately throw it out of your home? O
priests of the country that I particularly love, I am a fugitive who is
seeking asylum in your home. What welcome do you want to give to my
love? Will I be chased away or eagerly welcomed? O my children, I do
not want to allow my love to move away from France. O France! Country
that I love more than others, hear the call of my love. People of
France, my children, if you push my love away from you, what other love
could you possibly use to lift up France? If there is no love to lift
France, then France will be covered in thick smoke rising from hell,
and in that case, she will become a country opposed to my love and will
eventually be destroyed. But, my child, humble child of my love, if
prayers from trusting, simple and pure hearts are brought up to me,
later you will see me smiling happily at the land I love. "

PS1. Message from July 25, 2019: "Dear children, my
call for you is prayer. May prayer be joy for you and a wreath which
binds you to God. Little children, trials will come, and you will not
be strong, and sin will reign. But if you are mine, you will win,
because your refuge will be the Heart of my Son Jesus. Therefore,
little children, return to prayer until prayer becomes life for you in
the day and the night. Thank you for having responded to my call." PS2. Ivan the visionary was recently in Medjugorje! On August 12th, Mary entrusted him with this message at the Blue Cross where we were invited: "Dear children,
in this time of mercy, in a special way, I wish to call you to prayer -
perseverance in prayer. So many times, I have said that my Son has
allowed me to stay here together with you because I wish to teach you
and to raise you - educate you -, because I wish to lead you to my Son.
Therefore, decide for Him! Put Jesus in the first place in your
families. Pray in front of Him, so that you can receive graces. The
Mother prays for all of you and intercedes for you to her Son." PS3. The Youth Festival in Medjugorje was a shower of blessings!
It was followed this year on the Internet by more than 2.8 million
people. Unheard of! On August 4, for the feast of St Jean Vianney, 714
priests co-celebrated Mass. An exceptional event which had been announced the day before on the Vatican website: https://www.vaticannews.va/it/chiesa/news/2019-08/a-medjugorje-al-via-il-festival-dei-giovani.html You may smile while watching our 6' video, it will give you a glimpse of our Youth.... : http://www.enfantsdemedjugorje.fr/30eme-festival-des-jeunes-a-medjugorje/
Mladifest 2019 in Beit Lehem House PS4. Hong Kong in trouble!
Seeing the very serious events happening there, we suggest that we
start a special chain of prayer and fasting for Hong Kong, until peace
is settle back! An appeal has been sent to many friends, remembering
these words from the Gospa: "Only by prayer and fasting can the war be
stopped." PS 5. Marcel Van, Resources:http://www.marcelvanassociation.com/writings-of-van/

you from my Son. Decide firmly. Live my messages. I desire to continue
