Medjugorje, December 18, 2022
Dear Friends, praise be to Jesus and Mary!
1. On November 25, 2022, visionary Marija received the following monthly message:
“Dear children! The
Most High has sent me to you to teach you prayer. Prayer opens hearts
and gives hope, and faith is born and strengthened. Little children,
with love I am calling you: return to God, because God is love and your
hope. You do not have a future if you do not decide for God; and that is
why I am with you to guide you to decide for conversion and life, and
not for death. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
We
have noticed that for several months, the daily apparitions last longer
than usual, and sometimes much longer. The visionary Marija says that
Our Lady prays with her for a long time for peace, above all for peace
in our hearts, peace in our families, and peace in the world. “Peace is
damaged,” she said last May.

2. How to hasten the time of peace, in
this ‘New Time’ that Mary has announced several times in her messages?
This blessed time may relate to the Triumph of her Immaculate Heart and
to the New Pentecost of Love, which Christ announced to Venerable Marthe
Robin. This time will also be the Church of Light, according to what
Jesus told the French mystic Filiola (see PS1), when the Church will
emerge purified from the grim trial it has begun to experience, and when
as many people as possible have chosen life and not death. God's plan
for our century was, as always, peace (PS2), true peace, in other words
His own peace of divine essence, and not the fragile human tranquility
so easily slackened.
|
3. The scoop of the Child Jesus. In
two specific words, the little Child of Bethlehem gave us the answer we
need on Christmas Day 2013. For the first time, Our Lady did not give
her Christmas message, but to the great surprise of the visionary,
Marija, it was the little newborn Child she was carrying in her arms who
spoke. Have you ever seen a newborn baby speak? That day, Marija did!
Jesus sat on his Mother’s arm and spoke with the authority of a
7-year-old child. He said:
a- “I am your peace!”
Why
look for it elsewhere than in Him? So many false paths are proposed to
the world! So many false kinds of peace are making the headlines! They
can be recognized by the fact that they exclude Christ, His cross and
His resurrection, as if man were great enough to make his own peace and
do without God. This is how one can miss out on love, miss the door of
mercy and delude oneself gravely. “The foundation of your peace is
prayer,” Mary tells us. Without prayer, we are building on quicksand.
Fortunately, there is no distress too deep for God, and His immense
desire to save His children is never shaken. So now, what to do? He
gives the answer...
b- “Live my commandments!”
Why
fall into the snares of the Evil One, this prince of lies who makes us
believe that the Words of God are to be thrown into oblivion, as if the
divine light they contain were obsolete and that man had found something
better than this light in order to be happy on earth and walk towards
Heaven? What a terrible illusion! Everything God says, every one of His
words, comes from His overflow of love for us, for our protection and
happiness. To turn away from it is to mutilate oneself. It is to decide
for death, according to Mary's words last month. (PS 3)
How
can we not quote here what Jesus revealed to the mystic, Marthe Robin,
during an ecstasy: “If all Christians lived their faith, the whole world
would be converted in the space of a year!”
Oh Lord, have mercy on us! Forgive our sins of omission and indifference!

4. Story of a great victory. I will let my friend Toussaint, a French sports fan, tell it to you in his poetic style:
“Another
ten kilometers and this beautiful bike ride will end. The slight sound
of the wind, the smell of oncoming spring, the water evaporating like
the harshness of winter. My sister Claire remains in my thoughts. Where
could she possibly find the courage to keep this child? I understand the
difficult situation she is going through. Everything is pushing her,
like a bad wind, not to keep it. My opinion is far too weak, and I
infinitely respect her freedom. She will probably be arriving at the
hospital soon. The minutes and the landscape sweep by. Suddenly a
thought arises and imposes itself on my mind without knocking: “Recite a
Hail Mary”!
- What??? Here, in the middle of the bike path???
- Yes.
Okay.
So, I hide away a little, because I have quite a few cycling friends in
the area. And here I am on my knees in the grass. Even if I don’t pray
very much, this is a prayer that I do know. Clearing the air, deep calm,
everything fades.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Freeze
frame, I couldn’t go on, I couldn’t finish the prayer. Life is immense,
holy, sacred, irreplaceable and divine. All of this filled me with
unparalleled strength and beauty. I got back on my bike and sped away as
if on a galloping horse. I have to get there on time, even if it means
forcing the door of the hospital. There it is, I see my sister getting
ready to go in. She listens to my little story with great attention, and
says just one single sentence:
Let’s get out of here!”

On
October 13, the day of the great Miracle of Fatima, little Lenny was
born. He is my godson, or rather the godson of “Mary full of grace.” |
|
5. The Feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe (12
December) was an explosion of graces! Graces of joy, peace and maternal
tenderness for all those who prayed to her, and sometimes for those who
did not pray to her! Let us recall that on March 1st, 2007, when the
abortion law was passed in Mexico, the famous Tilma exhibited in the
Basilica lit up precisely on her motherly womb, revealing for a few
minutes a very luminous shape representing a fetus ready to be born.
Hundreds of faithful were present at the celebration (offered for unborn
children), and some photographed it. It was a sign both powerful and
silent, a sign that remains!
|
|
Among
the wonders discovered by scientists regarding the Tilma, let us note
the wonderful music that emanates from this image that was able to be
captured on a computer. Listen to it, it is so uplifting for the soul!

6. The Saints see farther than we do! A
French pilgrim confided to me the other day this word of the Venerable
Marthe Robin: “My wife and I often came to see Marthe because we lived
in her region. We confided to her our desire to have many children.
However, I pointed out to her that, in order for that to be possible, it
would be necessary to have a good job! Marthe replied: “The job will
get better as the children come!” And this happy father of 9 children
today confirms that this is what happened.

Dearest Gospa, as
you did for Toussaint and Clare, come and strongly enlighten our minds
so that in this season of Advent we may choose life and not death,
choose your Son Jesus and not idols, true love and not its disappointing
imitations! During this novena, we walk with you toward Bethlehem to
welcome, together with Joseph and you, our little Savior who is greater
than the world!

PS 1. Term
often used by Jesus when addressing the French mystic Filiola
(1888-1976) to designate the time when confusion and obscurity of
consciences will cease, and give way to a Church regenerated in truth
and charity, as it was in its beginnings. (Tequi Publications, France)
PS 2. “Dear children! This
is the time of grace. Little children, today in a special way with
little Jesus, whom I hold in my embrace, I am giving you the possibility
to decide for peace. Through your 'yes' for peace and your decision for
God, a new possibility for peace is opened. Only in this way, little
children, will this century be for you a time of peace and well-being. Therefore,
put little newborn Jesus in the first place in your life and He will
lead you on the way of salvation....” (December 25, 1999)
PS 3. Good Counselling? Have
you or someone you know been thinking that you may benefit from seeing a
counsellor/ therapist? Life can be difficult at times, and so talking
things through with a professional can really help. A lady who spent
nearly 2 years with me in Medjugorje, and who fully embraced Our Lady’s
school, is a qualified therapist. If you would like to speak to her
about any issues that are happening in your life, safe in the knowledge
that you can bring your faith into the therapy, then please send an email to ann-mariecounsellor@outlook.com to book a free consultation.
Counselling is offered online via Zoom.
PS 4. What did the Servant of God Fr. Dolindo say about heaven and purgatory? You may read his book ‘The Afterlife: Purgatory and heaven explained’, by Fr Dolindo Ruotolo. Click HERE
PS 5. Did you know that the first 7 days of the Apparitions in Medjugorje have been authenticated by the Church. The book, ‘Medjugorje, the first seven days’ details
the interviews with the visionaries and the investigations made which
the Vatican considered when deciding whether the apparitions should be
authenticated. https://www.amazon.com/Medjugorje-first-seven-Darko-Pavicic-ebook/dp/B0B7BW26YH
