Medjugorje, September 11, 2022
Dear Friends, praise be to Jesus and Mary!
1. On August 25, 2022, the visionary Marija received the following monthly message:
“Dear
children! God permits me to be with you and to lead you on the way of
peace, so that through personal peace, you build peace in the world. I
am with you and intercede for you before my Son Jesus, that He may give
you a strong faith and hope in a better future, which I desire to build
up with you. You be courageous and do not be afraid, because God is with
you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

2. The vision that made Pope Leo XIII tremble
On
October 13, 1884, Pope Leo XIII celebrated Holy Mass and then attended
another ceremony in thanksgiving (see PS 1). Suddenly, he was seen
lifting his head and staring intensely at something above the celebrant.
He stared, without blinking, as if filled with a feeling of terror and
wonder, and his face changed color. Something strange…something great
was happening within him.
Finally,
as if coming to his senses, he straightened himself, leaning on his
hand with a light but energetic movement. He was seen heading to his
private office. His close assistants anxiously followed him and asked
him in a soft voice: "Holy Father, do you not feel well? Do you need
anything?" He replied, "No, nothing."
Half
an hour later, he called the Secretary of the Congregation of Rites
and, handing him a sheet of paper, ordered him to print it and send it
to all the bishops of the world. What did this sheet contain? Three
things: the prayer that we recite at the end of Mass with the faithful
and which contains the supplication of the Blessed Virgin, the ardent
invocation of the Prince of the Heavenly Militias, and the invocation of
God to push Satan back into hell.
(See Don Amorth's book, "An Exorcist Tells")
|
But what did Leo XIII experience in this vision? He
explained that just as he was about to leave the altar, he suddenly
heard some voices: "After Mass," he said, "I heard two voices, one soft
and good, the other guttural and hard; it seemed that they came from
next to the tabernacle. It was the devil who was addressing the Lord, as
if in a dialogue... Then I had a terrible vision of hell: I saw the
earth open like a grenade. It was shrouded in darkness, and from the
abyss I saw a legion of demons coming out of the world to destroy the
works of the Church and attack the Church itself, which I saw had
extremely reduced.
St. Michael appeared and drove the evil spirits back into the abyss. Then
I saw the Archangel intervene not at that time, but much later, when
people prayed numerous fervent prayers to the Archangel.” It is up to us
to respond to this call of extreme importance in order to hasten the
full victory of the Church, and thereby shorten the sufferings that
accompany this struggle!
Here
is the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel that Leo XIII wrote at the
end of this vision. He ordered it to be recited after each low Mass:
"St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be
our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God
rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.”
Although
this obligation was abolished in 1964, St. John Paul II reinstated it
and Pope Francis, on September 29th, 2019, on the feast of St. Michael
the Archangel, asked all Catholics to recite these three prayers
throughout May (the month of the Rosary): a Rosary, then a Sub tuum praesidium (to Mary) and the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel.
"We fly to your patronage, O
Holy Mother of God; despise not our petitions in our necessities, but
deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin.” (Sub tuum prayer – the most ancient Marian prayer)

3. In the year 590, when the plague was raging,
causing thousands of deaths, Pope Gregory the Great invited the
population to make a procession of supplication and penance in Rome.
People would walk slowly, bare foot, with their heads covered. Many
dropped dead from the plague during the procession, but the pope asked
everyone to continue praying. He himself bore the icon of the Blessed
Virgin "Salvation of the Roman people"
painted by St Luke, from St. Mary Major to St. Peter's Basilica. As the
procession was about to cross the bridge over the Tiber River to reach
the basilica, voices of Angels were heard, singing the beautiful hymn “Regina Caeli, Laetare, Alleluia!” After
the song of the Angels, pope Gregory saw St Michael appear above the
tomb of Hadrian, dressed in sparkling armor, brandishing a sword full of
blood. Then the Angel placed the sword back in its sheath. The Pope understood this gesture marked the end of the plague in Rome. In
1304, Pope Benedict XI had a large bronze statue of St Michael placed
on Hadrian's tomb. Since then, it has been called "Castel Sant'Angelo".
What about the coronavirus? In
2021, for Palm Sunday, a historic event of great impact took place at
the Sanctuary of St. Michael the Archangel of Mount Galgano. To stop the
coronavirus, the Rector of the Sanctuary, Father Ladislao Sucky and
Fathers Micheliti took with them the Eucharist, a relic of the Holy
Cross and the sword of St. Michael, and they blessed the city, all of
Italy and the whole world.

4. Why recall these events today? Because
love is becoming increasingly cold in the nest of human life, that is,
the family as the Creator created it! Of course we are witnessing some
very beautiful initiatives of faith, but the spiritual battle that is
raging more than ever must awaken us from a lethargy of the soul. This
is vital and crucial. Family prayer, which creates and weaves the union
of hearts, has given way to 1000 other things. And yet love is what
saves, love heals, it is love that gives peace! God is love, and without
God, without the prayer that gives God to souls, the family has no
future.
Beware, we are at a crossroad! Now
is the time to make a choice: turn right or turn left? Return to God,
or let yourself be seduced by the world. The future of every one of us
depends on this choice.
Mary warns us in her wonderful maternal way! "I am listening to your cry and
prayers for peace. For years, Satan has been fighting for war. That is
why God sent me among you to guide you on the path of holiness, because humanity is at a crossroad. I am calling you to return to God and to God’s commandments, that it may be good for you on earth, and that you may come out of this crisis into which you have entered...” (March 25, 2022)
Here, Mary is repeating the words of St. John Paul II, in his Act of Consecration to Mary on October 8th, 2000: "Today more than ever humanity is at a crossroads. And once again, salvation is entirely and only, O Holy Virgin, in your Son Jesus.”
“Help me with prayer, little children, that Satan may not prevail. His power of death, hatred and fear has visited the earth.
Therefore, little children, return to God and to prayer, to fasting and
to renunciation, for all those who are downtrodden, poor, and have no
voice in this world without God. Little children, if you do not return
to God and His commandments, you do not have a future. That is why He
sent me to you, to guide you...” (February 25, 2022)

5. Yes, we want to help Our Lady! Here are a few effective ways to do this...
For the French speaking, join "France is praying"! This
magnificent initiative of a group of lay Catholics who invite the
faithful to promote and multiply the prayer of the Rosary. It has
already led to more than 2200 public Rosaries being prayed all across
France.
You find it difficult praying the Rosary alone? Here are some great ways to respond to Mary's call:
Join thousands of prayerful people united around our MDML brothers! Every evening, these French young people host a live Rosary prayer at 7:30 pm on the NDML YouTube channel https://youtube.com/c/NDMLvideo

6. It is highly recommended to consecrate ourselves to St Michael the Archangel,
to consecrate to him our families, our parishes, our work, our
ministries... By doing this, we enjoy his great protection against the
evil spirits who want our ruin and who also want to destroy our bodies
by all kinds of means. St. Paul exhorts us: "Put on the full armor of
God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of
this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly
realms.” (Eph 6:11-12)
In times of conflict in the family and in times of war,
St. Michael assists us in our spiritual battles, he gives us the
strength and courage to say no to whatever opposes God, and to stick to
what is good - in short, to choose true love in all circumstances. It is
good to choose a prayer of consecration and repeat it every day, or
even several times a day in case of strong internal or external
fighting, in family, at work, in times of war, etc.
I
have witnessed exorcisms, and I have seen with my own eyes the power of
liberation obtained by a simple invocation to St. Michael the
Archangel.
Consecration to Saint Michael the Archangel : "St.
Michael the Archangel, I dedicate myself to you. I place myself, my
family and all that belongs to me, under your powerful protection. Grow
the fervor in my heart and remember that from this day on, I am under
your protection. Obtain for me the grace to love with all my heart: God,
my Father, Jesus, my Savior, the Holy Spirit, my Sanctifier, and Mary,
my sweet Mother. Amen.”
The
month of September is dedicated to the Angels and Archangels. Let us
offer them beautiful Litanies, to scare away the enemy and spread peace
in our hearts!
