Mary TV: December 31, 2021 Reflection - I , the mother, am coming to help you...

 


 



I , the mother, am coming to help you...

December 31, 2021
New Year's Eve

Dear Family of Mary!

On the eve of the New Year, 2022, may we remain in prayer with our Mother. She wants to prepare us for this new year. She wants us to be ready, to be her apostles in these grace-filled and yet dangerous times.

I think that Our Lady's messages can be read as poetry. Sometimes it is important to pause between phrases, in order for the words to enter our hearts and change them. This message of the New Year in 2018 is one of those messages. I can feel Our Lady speaking to my heart each time I read it. May it bless us all as we contemplate the New Year:

January 2, 2018

"Dear children!

When love is beginning to disappear on earth,
when the way of salvation is not being found,
I, the mother, am coming
to help you to come to know true faith
– living and profound –
so as to help you to truly love.

As a mother, I am longing
for your mutual love, goodness, and purity.
My desire is that you be just
and that you love each other.

My children,
be joyful in your soul,
be pure,
be children.

My Son used to say that he loves to be among pure hearts,
because pure hearts are always young and joyful.

My Son said to you to forgive and to love each other.
I know that this is not always easy.
Suffering makes you grow in spirit.
For you to spiritually grow all the more,
you must sincerely and truly forgive and love.

Many of my children on earth do not know my Son,
they do not love Him;
but you who do love my Son,
you who carry Him in your heart,
pray, pray
and in praying feel my Son beside you.

May your soul breathe in His spirit.

I am among you and am speaking about little and great things.

I will not grow tired speaking to you about my Son
– the true love.

Therefore, my children,
open your hearts to me.
Permit me to lead you as a mother.

Be apostles of the love of my Son and of me.

As a mother I implore you not to forget
those whom my Son has called to lead you.
Carry them in your heart and pray for them.
Thank you."

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: December 30, 2021 Reflection - Invoke the help of all the saints...

Invoke the help of all the saints....

December 30, 2021
6th Day within the Octave of the Nativity of the Lord

Dear Family of Mary!

October 25, 2020 "Dear children, At this time, I am calling you to return to God and to prayer. Invoke the help of all the saints, for them to be an example and a help to you. Satan is strong and is fighting to draw all the more hearts to himself. He wants war and hatred. That is why I am with you for this long, to lead you to the way of salvation, to Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Little children, return to the love for God and He will be your strength and refuge. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Our Lady called us to "invoke the help of all the saints, for them to be an example and a help to you." She put this call in the context of the great war that Satan is waging in our world. It is a war that uses hatred as a weapon. Hatred of God and of anyone who is loyal to God. It is cloaked in fancy sounding words that make you think it is for good, but in fact it causes division and pain everywhere.

So we need the help of heaven in these days, as we stand with our Savior and His Mother. The saints are waiting to help us, to defend us, and to strengthen us in this battle. At the turn of the year, many of us choose a saint to be our advocate and help. The saint "chooses" us! We have a pile of saints on little pieces of paper so that we can pray and draw out a saint to help us. Denis and I do it on New Years Day. It is such a comfort to have a saint as our special companion for the year.

In 2021, I was given St. Juan Diego. And he has been fantastic. He has taught me so much about Our Lady. I will hang on to St. Juan, as I receive a new saint for 2022.

I have attached a document to this email which contains a list of saints, with short bios. You can use this list if you wish. You can print it and cut the saints out individually. Or you can scroll down the document and stop at random to find your saint. And since Our Lady told us to invoke the help of all the saints, you could ask a saint to pick you for each day of the year!!! Why not!!!




This year we find ourselves in a real confrontation. Our Lady wants us to have recourse to the saints so that they can help us and protect us as we stand with her in love and peace. God bless us all and may the saints be a help and a strength for us!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: December 29, 2021 Reflection - Return to prayer...

 


Birth of Jesus
Return to prayer...

December 29, 2021
Saint Thomas Becket

Dear Family of Mary!

“Dear children! Today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for Him to give you His peace. Little children, without peace you do not have a future or blessing; therefore return to prayer, because the fruit of prayer is joy and faith, without which you cannot live. Today's blessing which we give you, carry to your families and enrich all those whom you meet, that they may feel the grace which you are receiving. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (December 25, 2021)

This message is a loving correction for us as we walk into the future with Our Lady. She is still coming to us every day in Medjugorje. She is with us every day. But she still finds us without peace, without prayer. This is the struggle in which we must persevere. We must struggle to pray. We must fight hard to quiet our souls and pray with our hearts, to give God time to enter into our hearts and minds and speak to us. We must fight for this every day.

It is true that even if we pray today with all our hearts, we may not pray the next day at all. We are so easily distracted. And so Our Lady has to call us back to prayer. It is a daily choice to pray. We cannot rely on yesterday's prayer, because today the battle continues. Our prayer is the weapon in this battle. Our prayer is our daily work for God!

May we pray for ourselves and for one another, that we can stay rooted in prayer, grounded in prayer, completely steeped in prayer. May we learn to calm our minds and spirits, and seek time with God every day. May we respect the times for prayer that we have established and learn to set everything else aside so that God can have our attention. We need to pray. We need that time with Our Lord, so that He can speak to us, give us His wisdom and will, show us what is most important for today and follow Him towards His Kingdom. May Our Lady show us how to return to prayer and make a daily choice for prayer from today onward.

Mother, please help us to pray, so that we will be filled with joy and faith, and Jesus will give us His peace.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: December 28, 2021 Reflection - Maria speaks about the Message

Birth of Jesus
Our Lady came with Baby Jesus!

December 28, 2021
The Holy Innocents

Dear Family of Mary!

We have finally received the English translation of Marija Pavlovic Lunetti's conversation with Fr. Livio about the December 25, 2021 Message. It is always wonderful to hear Marija describe her experience in the apparition and share about the message. I present here an excerpt from that discussion and a link to the full transcript!

Marija and Fr. Livio spoke about the Baby Jesus first in their discussion:

FL. Dear friends, we have now Marija "live" who is going to tell us the December 25, 2021 message of the Queen of Peace.  Hi Marija

M. Hi Father Livio, and hello to all radio Maria’s shipmates. I wish a Holy Christmas to everyone with peace and joy. Today Our Lady like every 25th of the month gave us the following message:

“Dear children! Today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for Him to give you His peace. Little children, without peace you do not have a future or blessing; therefore return to prayer, because the fruit of prayer is joy and faith, without which you cannot live. Today’s blessing which we give you, carry to your families and enrich all those whom you meet, that they may feel the grace which you are receiving. Thank you for having responded to my call.” 

Here we are Father Livio!

FL. I think the most important thing today is the fact that Our Lady came with the Infant Jesus.

M. Yes, Our Lady today in a special way gave us the blessing of peace with her Son Jesus who is the King of Peace. With the presence of the Baby Jesus in her arms and the richness of peace that we do not appreciate until a war begins, they are stronger.

F.L. Listen Marija, I was particularly struck by the fact that Our Lady said that today's blessing “we give you”, that is both of them gave us the blessing of peace; but did Jesus also give the blessing?

M. Exactly, this is extraordinary because Our Lady and her Child Jesus, both, gave us the blessing through their sign of the cross.

F.L. That is, Our Lady who was holding the Child in her arms and the Child turned to you and gave the blessing just looking at you.

M. Exactly! Our Lady said that today's blessing is not only for us, our families, but also for all those we will meet.

F.L. Listen Marija, I say this because it is nice to be able to describe the apparition to people but the Child is just a newborn baby or ..

M. He is a beautiful little newborn baby and our hearts melt with joy even at the thought of Christmas which, like every year, is special. Our Lady arrives with a golden dress, the most beautiful, as if it was embroidered with gold but also at the same time with the Child Jesus who is the King of Peace, who is the bearer of peace, who is the blessing for us and for our future. Today in a special way I asked Our Lady and the Child Jesus to free us from this pandemic and to restore peace to the whole world.

Isn't this beautiful! Here is the link to the entire text:


Enjoy!!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Medjugorje, the 2 messages of December 25, 2021



The message of December 25, 2021given to Marija
“Dear children! Today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for Him to give you His peace. Little children, without peace you do not have a future or blessing; therefore return to prayer, because the fruit of prayer is joy and faith, without which you cannot live.
Today’s blessing which we give you, carry to your families and enrich all those whom you meet, that they may feel the grace which you are receiving. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

The message of December 25, 2021given to Jakov
At the last daily apparition to Jakov Colo on September 12th, 1998, Our Lady told him that henceforth he would have one apparition a year, every December 25th, on Christmas Day. This is also how it was this year. The apparition began at 2:25 pm and lasted 9 minutes. Our Lady came with little Jesus in her arms.
Through Jakov, Our Lady gave the following message:
“Dear children, You are, and you are called, ‘children of God’. If only your hearts would feel that immeasurable love which God has for you, your hearts would adore and give thanks to Him at every instant of your life. Therefore, little children, today, on this day of grace, open your hearts and implore the Lord for the gift of faith; so that you could truly become worthy of the name ‘children of God’ who, with a pure heart, give thanks to and honor their Heavenly Father. I am beside you and am blessing you with my motherly blessing”

Mary TV: December 24, 2021 Reflection - Christmas Eve!

 


The nativity





The Nativity of the Lord

December 24, 2021
Christmas Eve

Dear Family of Mary!

Tonight, we will pray and await the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. This night is a most tender night. We gaze at the manger and the Newborn Jesus in it, with awe and amazement, but even more with a love that fills our being. We love Him. And we know that He loves us. Love is all in all on this night.

Our Lady gave a very strong message on Christmas in 1987. May her words guide us in our prayer this night:

December 25, 1987 "Dear children! Rejoice with me! My heart is rejoicing because of Jesus and today I want to give Him to you. Dear children, I want each one of you to open your heart to Jesus and I will give Him to you with love. Dear children, I want Him to change you, to teach you and to protect you. Today I am praying in a special way for each one of you and I am presenting you to God so He will manifest Himself in you. I am calling you to sincere prayer with the heart so that every prayer of yours may be an encounter with God. In your work and in your everyday life, put God in the first place. I call you today with great seriousness to obey me and to do as I am calling you. Thank you for having responded to my call."

We will obey you, dearest Mother. Your commands are sweet!

Happy Birthday, dearest Jesus!!!!

Let us sing!:


O Little Town of Bethlehem 

O little town of Bethlehem, 
how still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep 
the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth 
the everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years 
are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary, 
and gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep 
their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together 
proclaim the holy Birth,
And praises sing to God the King, 
and peace to men on earth!

How silently, how silently, 
the wondrous Gift is given;
So God imparts to human hearts 
the blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming, 
but in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still, 
the dear Christ enters in.

Where children pure and happy 
pray to the blessèd Child,
Where misery cries out to thee, 
Son of the Mother mild;
Where charity stands watching 
and faith holds wide the door,
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks, 
and Christmas comes once more.

O holy Child of Bethlehem, 
descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in, 
be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us, 
our Lord Emmanuel! 

Merry Christmas!! God's Blessing to all of you!!


In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
