Mary TV: June 29, 2021 Reflection - Pray for Peace....

 




My Heart is Joyful!

June 29, 2021

Dear Family of Mary!

This is our last day in Medjugorje! We are so sad to leave this oasis of peace. There is so much that Denis and I have to share with you, but we will do that from home! We want to spend as much time as we can in prayer here before we travel. So forgive me for not writing more to you these last days.

One thing I can share is that Friday, June 25, 2021 was a turning point in human history. We witnessed it! Pilgrims from around the world flowed into Medjugorje on that day, and filled the church, the outdoor altar area, not just the benches but the ground going past the trees to the fields beyond, and the courtyard in front of the church. There were thousands upon thousands, including approximately 380 priests!!! It was a miraculous event!! Our Lady called her children, and they came!!!

The prayer was like thunder! The choir was from heaven! And the procession of Our Lady's statue took our breath away!! All those priests processing before her, their hearts on fire!! It was heaven.

And so Our Lady said to us, to all who had gathered there and all who were joined through the internet, including our Mary TV family:

"Dear children! My heart is joyful because through these years I see your love and openness to my call!"

She has called us and we have answered her call. We were with her on the 40th Anniversary, because we love her and have responded to her call! Her heart is joyful!!

Denis feels that the 40th Anniversary marks an important moment. Our Lady has made a decisive move to claim her children, to claim the world for Christ, and to defeat the devil decisively. She has stepped over the line and is on the offensive.

We will talk about this more, but I just want to thank you all for joining us in responding to Our Lady's call. We are her chosen troops, who will follow her into battle for the sake of souls. And she will be victorious.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Our Lady’s June 25, 2021 Annual Message through Medjugorje Visionary Ivanka

 


June 25, 2021


Our Lady appeared to Ivanka at her home around 6:41 pm. The apparition lasted five minutes. Only Ivanka’s family was present.

After the apparition, the visionary Ivanka said: “Our Lady gave the following message:


‘Little children I am in need of your prayers. Pray, pray, pray.’”

Our Lady's Message to Marija 
on June 25, 2021
 

“Dear children!
My heart is joyful because through these years I see your love and openness to my call.
Today I am calling all of you: pray with me for peace and freedom, because Satan is strong and by his deception, wants to lead away all the more hearts from my motherly heart.
That is why decide for God so that it may be good for you on the earth which God gave you.
Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Mary TV: June 25, 2021 Reflection - The 40th Anniversary of Our Lady's Apparitions

 





The 40th Anniversary of the Apparitions in Medjugorje!

June 25, 2021

Dear Family of Mary!

Happy and blessed 40th Anniversary of the Apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Medjugorje! We have arrived at this anniversary of one of the most powerful spiritual events in modern times! Our Lady came to this little village to begin a long and beautiful motherly relationship with all of us! And she has continued that relationship without cease all these 40 years. Our gratitude grows and grows as we understand the magnitude of this gift.

Let's look back at the second encounter that the visionaries had with Our Lady, the encounter that would mark the anniversary date. Here is the simple retelling of the first conversation the visionaries had with Our Lady on this day 40 years ago. They had the typical concerns of young people, because they were such normal children!

Thursday, June 25, 1981:

The date of the first apparition for the group of six visionaries, who see Our Lady nearby on the hill: Our Lady says: "Praised be Jesus!"

Ivanka speaks: Where is my mother? (Her mother had died two months previously.) The Apparition replies: "She is happy. She is with me."

The visionaries ask: Will you return tomorrow? The apparition answers with a nod of her head.

Mirjana interjects: No one will believe us. They will say that we are crazy. Give us a sign! The apparition responds only with a smile. Mirjana believed she had received a sign. Her watch had changed time during the apparition.

The Apparition departs, saying: "Goodbye, my angels. Go in the peace of God."

Our Lady was so gentle as she greeted the children that day. She said very little, but looked at them with her loving eyes, and nodded reassuringly to their questions. She wanted them to slowly warm up to her. She knew that her relationship with them would be critical for the plans of the Father, and that they were fragile children, needing to feel safe and understood.

Our Lady comes to each of us in the same gentle and respectful way. She does not shock or frighten her children. She offers her gentle hand to guide us, her loving gaze to comfort us, and her motherly arms to embrace us. Even today, here 40 years later, she is the same. She leads only with love. And she calls us with gentleness and much care, asking us to help her in her task of converting the world.

I feel Our Lady very close today, very close this entire week. She is here. And she is still loving us with her Immaculate Heart, loving us into Heaven.

I will send out the message we hope to receive from her today through Marija, as soon as I can. Denis and I are praying for you with much love and gratitude. You are here in our hearts!

Blessed and happy Anniversary, dearest Mother!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: June 24, 2021 Reflection - The Nativity of St. John the Baptist

 

 




Our Lady first was seen on this day in 1981


June 24, 2021

Dear Family of Mary!

Wednesday, June 24, 1981
The visionaries see a distant apparition of a young woman in a long grey dress holding a baby in her arms on the hill of Crnica (now known as Apparition Hill).

Forty years ago, today, Our Lady first appeared. It was the feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist. She was high up on the hill of Crnica. But from below the young people saw her, holding a baby in her arms. They were frightened and confused. And they ran away!!

I have recently wondered what it must have been like to suddenly see a heavenly being standing among the brambles and bushes of a rugged hill that had always been there, empty and barren. Think about it. What was it like for everyone in Medjugorje 15 days before Our Lady came? The grownups were working very hard to feed their families. Poverty was a constant. They worked in their vineyards and tobacco fields for long hours every day. And they lived a humble rural life. I am absolutely sure that no one had ever thought or even imagined that Our Lady would appear to 6 of the young people in their village. The idea would not have entered their minds. Not for a moment. Never!

And yet it happened. And when it did the event triggered a huge change in that village. Our Lady came that first day, and the next, and the next, and the next. And as her coming became a daily event, the village had to come to terms with the presence of the Mother of God in their midst.

And here we are 40 years later, coming to Medjugorje in order to be near to the presence of the Blessed Mother, who has not left the village for all these years. We come to be near her. We come to give our hearts to her and to experience her love. We come to learn from her how to love her Son. And we snuggle close to her as little ones who need the security of their mother.

Medjugorje has become for us all a home, a family gathering. It is the same this year as all the others. Our Lady is here, quietly and gently loving us into holiness. We are the most blessed of children with such a Mother!!

As she once told us:

March 18, 2014

"Dear children! As a mother, I desire to be of help to you. With my motherly love, I desire to help you to open your heart and to put my Son in the first place in it. Through your love for my Son and through your prayer, I desire for God's light to illuminate you and God's mercy to fill you. In this way, I desire for the darkness, and the shadow of death which wants to encompass and mislead you, to be driven away. I desire for you to feel the joy of the blessing of God's promise. You, children of man, you are God's children - you are my children. Therefore, my children, set out on the ways on which my love leads you, teaches you humility and wisdom, and finds the way to the Heavenly Father. Pray with me for those who do not accept me and do not follow me - those who, because of hardness of their hearts, cannot feel the joy of humility, devotion, peace and love - the joy of my Son. Pray that your shepherds, with their blessed hands, may always give you the joy of God's blessing. Thank you."

Thank you, dearest Mother. We will pray as you ask! We love you.


In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: June 23, 2021 Reflection - Anniversary Novena, Day 9

 

 



Be my extended hands in the lost world!

Anniversary Novena, Day 9

June 23, 2021

Dear Family of Mary!

Novena before the 40th Anniversary Day 9:

May 25, 2021

"Dear children! Today I am looking at you and calling: return to God because He is love and out of love has sent me to you to lead you on the way of conversion. Leave sin and evil, decide for holiness and joy will begin to reign; and you will be my extended hands in this lost world. I desire that you be prayer and hope to those who have not come to know the God of love. Thank you for having responded to my call."

"...you will be my extended hands in this lost world.

Our Lady looked at us on May 25, and what did she see? She saw her children who needed to return to God! She saw so many of us in need of conversion. She saw sin and evil beginning to infect us again.

But instead of getting discouraged, what did she say? "Decide for holiness and joy will begin to reign!!" We simply have to change our hearts and minds and choose holiness again. Just do it!

And the best part, then we will become her extended hands in this lost world.

At first I didn't think much about being her extended hands. But as I prayed, I realized that she has been working through her children for all these 40 years of her presence in Medjugorje. And those children have been her extended hands for ME!! I began to remember so many times when one of her children in Medjugorje offered me help so freely, and gave it so beautifully! And it changed my life. And as I prayed about it, I saw that there were many, many people who were her extended hands to me. So many!! And they blessed me so much!! (Thank you to each of you who have blessed me with your help and love...I am forever grateful!)

A good way to begin to be extended hands for Our Lady is by recognizing those who have been her extended hands for us, and then imitating them in their generosity, kindness, witness, and love. These extended hands of Our Lady are changing the world!

Let us pray:

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.
[That I will accept your plan when it differs from mine.]
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!
