Medjugorje, November 18, 2021Dear friends, praise be to Jesus and Mary!
1. On October 25, 2021, visionary Marija received the following monthly message:
“Dear children! Return to prayer, because whoever prays is not afraid of the future; who prays is open to life and respects the life of others; who prays, little children, feels the freedom of the children of God and in joy of heart serves for the good for his brother-man. Because God is love and freedom, therefore, little children, when they want to put you in bonds and to use you, it is not from God. Because God loves and gives His peace to every creature; and that is why He sent me to you to help you to grow in holiness. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

2. The great crossing-over…It can be a good experience!
November reminds us of our loved ones who have gone before us, and makes us think of our own departure too; so, let us learn something from this famous dialogue between 2 great Italian saints, John Bosco and Dominic Savio.
Savio: Do you see these flowers? They represent the virtues that most please the Lord. Bosco: Which ones?Savio: Roses symbolize charity; violets, humility; sunflowers, obedience; gentian, penance and mortification, and cobs, frequent communion. Lilies symbolize the beautiful virtue of which it is written: 'They are like angels in heaven', namely chastity. And everlasting flowers symbolize all those virtues which must last forever, namely perseverance.Bosco: All right, my dear Savio. But tell me, you who have practiced these virtues in your life, what was your greatest consolationat the moment of death?Savio: What was it, in your opinion?Bosco: Perhaps having kept the beautiful virtue of purity?Savio: No, not just that one. Bosco: Perhaps you rejoiced in having a clear conscience?Savio: This is indeed a good thing, but not yet the best.Bosco: Could the hope of Heaven maybe have been your comfort?Savio: It wasn’t that either. Bosco: So may having acquired merit from many good works?Savio: No, no...- So what comforted you at this final hour? Bosco asked him, almost pleading, saddened at not having been able to guess his thought.Savio: What comforted me most at the moment of death was the assistance of the powerful and eminently kind Mother of the Savior! And this you must tell your sons! Let them never forget to pray to her while they are alive.(Excerpt from San Giovanni Bosco, Il beato Domenico Savio. Torino, SEI 1950 p. 229-243)
This dialogue speaks for itself, as we ask ourselves about the best way to please the Lord and fall into his arms of mercy in our last hour!"The main thing is not to act so much according to our idea, said St. Maximilian Kolbe in a later time, but to be in the hands of the Immaculate!"

A prophetic voice. A little-known episode can shed light on how to help the souls in Purgatory.Maria-Anna Lindmayr (1657-1726) was a mystic from Munich who made headlines in her time with her prophetic expression and her experiences with the souls in Purgatory.She was 27 years old when the Lord began to teach her how to effectively help souls in Purgatory. He asked her to choose every week a certain virtue and to offer the efforts she makes to acquire it for the benefit of the souls in Purgatory. She had to do it through the hands of the Blessed Virgin or her guardian Angel. For instance, she could choose practicing humility for souls that suffer in Purgatory because of their pride, because they did not practice this virtue much... It is precisely through humility that we can help the souls in Purgatory a great deal, much more than through other practices of hard penance... Jesus also asked her to invoke the souls in Purgatory to help her, so that through their guardian angel, they may warn her when she was lacking in this virtue, so that she could help them... 

3. On November 24th, we will celebrate the 21st anniversary of the birth in Heaven of Father Slavko Barbaric, the tireless apostle of Mary's love. On this occasion, the small local group "Gospa majka moja" that has been praying the Rosary on Podbrdo every morning at 5 am for 17 months, have also been praying a novena of the Stations of the Cross on Mount Križevac, every day at 8:30 am, since November 15th. This is a humble but strong invitation to join them from wherever we are, to implore more than ever the help of Heaven, because it is through prayer that evil and fear will be overcome!
On November 25th, 2000, about 24 hours after Father Slavko's death at the top of Križevac, Mary's message ended as follows: "I rejoice with you and I desire to tell you that your brother Slavko has been born into Heaven and he intercedes for you”.

4. Saint Joseph will not leave us! On December 8th, on the feast of the Immaculate Conception, the year dedicated to Saint Joseph will end. Here is a simple and inspirational prayer that we can address to St. Joseph:
"Saint Joseph, You who are my spiritual father watch over us with love. Teach me to live like Jesus and Mary, as you did. Help me constantly grow in love. Obtain for me the openness of spirit which you had. And lead me by the hand to the greatest day of my life; my entrance into heaven. Amen”
Pray to St. Joseph with us:https://sremmanuel.org/video/sister-emmanuel-prays-to-saint-joseph-1337/5. A ladder for Heaven? At the Three Fountains in Rome, where St. Paul was put in prison, Roman soldiers were martyred in the days of Emperor Diocletian, St Zenon and his companions. In this place, St Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) celebrated Mass with Pope Innocent II. At the time of the consecration, he saw something that looked like a ladder raised on the altar. The souls in Purgatory climbed this ladder to reach Heaven, where they were welcomed by the Blessed Virgin Mary, hence the name of this church, St. Mary in Scala Coeli, St. Mary of the Ladder of Heaven.
This vision shows the value of the Eucharist for the deliverance of these souls. It also tells us the importance of the intercession of the Mother of God and the importance of our prayer. As a Mother, she wants only one thing, for all her children to share in her glory as soon as possible, and she does everything to spare us from Purgatory.
"If you surrender to me completely, she said, you will not feel the crossing from this life to the next life. You will begin to live the joy of Heaven on earth.” (To Jelena Vasilj, 1986)

New intercessors. Through the visionary Vicka, Mary recommends a daily prayer on behalf of these souls. Then, she said that when we pray for the poor souls, we gain new intercessors who will, in turn, pray for us. They will help us to become detached from earthly things, and cling to heavenly things instead. Vicka told me: "If you saw Purgatory even for a single second, you would never fail to pray for these souls, you would want to empty Purgatory!" (See PS3)
The teachings of the Church on what happens after death are important facets of our faith that we rarely hear about today. This can lead to many of the faithful neglecting their deceased or allowing themselves to be taken in by false beliefs, such as the idea that there is nothing after death, or reincarnation. This ignorance often breeds anguish, while Christian hope alone gives true comfort.
"It is wrong to teach people that we are reborn several times on earth and pass into different bodies. We are born only once", Mary tells us. (24. 07. 82), and she adds: "Many people think that after death there is nothing. No, dear children, this is a great mistake, because after death there is eternity!”
6. Know how to protect yourself! Many people have asked me if there are traditional ways in the Church to be freed from evil spirits, to be strengthened in temptations, to keep peace in their heart at all costs when the arrows of the enemy are flying in every direction, on a personal, family or national level. I will mention here only one of these means, because this topic would require several pages(see my book “Spiritual Warfare: the express lane to union with God” for more detailshttps://sremmanuel.org/books/#Spiritual_Warfare_The_Express_Lane_to_Union_With_God)!
One day, while speaking with Don Gabriele Amorth, the famous exorcist of Rome (born into Heaven in 2016), he pointed out to me the great power of exorcised water and salt. He especially recommended to me the formula in Latin, that of Pope Leo XIII, and he wondered why it was so rarely used.
I have published on our website this Exorcism formula(https://sremmanuel.org/pearls/latin-water-and-salt-exorcism-formula/), so that the faithful can print it, take it to their priest with water and salt (you can add oil), and suggest that he exorcise these elements. Only a member of the clergy can perform this exorcism; the laity cannot. 

In Medjugorje, mothers of families go around the house and garden every Saturday, sprinkling water and blessed salt while praying. This is an old and excellent local tradition, which has helped Christians remain faithful during times of persecution. Why ignore them at a time when spiritual warfare is so intense? This practice is within everyone's reach, when done from the heart, and it is a source of liberation.

Mary TV: November 19, 2021 Reflection - More encouragement to pray for the Souls in Purgatory

 

Praying the Seven Our Fathers, Hail Mary's, and Glory Be's after Mass in Medjugorje!
Praying for the souls in Purgatory!


November 19, 2021

Dear Family of Mary!

Once again, I would like to quote Our Lady on Purgatory. She only said a few things, but she was very clear. We need to pray for the souls in Purgatory, and we need to take a warning from her words. She speaks for our own good:

November 6, 1986 "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."

May we strive for Heaven and pray for our brothers and sisters to arrive there quickly!

She gave these instructions in 1982:

Wednesday, July 21, 1982
"There are many souls in Purgatory. There are also persons who have been consecrated to God: some priests, some religious. Pray for their intentions, at least 7 Our Father's, Hail Mary's and Glory Be's and the Creed. I recommend it to you. There is a large number of souls who have been in Purgatory for a long time because no one prays for them."

The Parish of St. James prays the seven, seven, seven every evening after Holy Mass!! For the Souls!!

And she gave this description of Purgatory in 1983:

Monday, January 10, 1983
Questioned on the subject of Purgatory, the Blessed Virgin says:
"There are different levels of which the lowest are close to Hell and the highest gradually draw near to Heaven. It is not on all souls day, but at Christmas, that the greatest numbers of souls leave Purgatory. There are in Purgatory, souls who pray ardently to God, but for whom no relative or friend prays for them on earth. God makes them benefit from the prayers of other people. It happens that God permits them to manifest themselves in different ways, close to their relatives on earth, in order to remind men of the existence of Purgatory, and to solicit their prayers close to God who is just, but good. The majority go to Purgatory. Many go to Hell. A small number go directly to Heaven."

May we pray for the souls who have no relative or friend who prays for them! We can help them!!

Finally, here is a wonderful prayer that can be prayed at Mass:
 
Hi Cathy and Denis
I have been saying this prayer for years now, everyday just before the Consecration at Holy Mass. I can’t remember where I got it only that it should be said at the Consecration:

Oh Heavenly Father I offer you the Body and Blood of Jesus on behalf of the souls in purgatory and I ask you now to pour out on them the fullness of your forgiveness, redemption and salvation merited for them by Jesus on Calvary so that many of them now may come into the fullness of your presence. Amen.

Fionnuala (shipmate)

May we become more active in helping the souls in Purgatory. They are our family now, waiting to one day enter Heaven where they will wait to welcome us into our Home with the Lord!

In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And let the perpetual light shine upon them.
May their souls and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
