Sister Emmanuel's Report from Medjugorje for August 2018

 Medjugorje, August 22, 2018
Queenship of Mary 
 
Dear children of Medjugorje, praised be Jesus and Mary!
 
  

1. On August 2, 2018, Mirjana received her monthly apparition at the Blue Cross, surrounded by a large crowd of young, and not so young, pilgrims who came to the Festival. After the apparition, she transmitted the following message: 
 
"Dear children, with a motherly love I am calling you to open hearts to peace; to open hearts to my Son, so that in your hearts love for my Son may sing, because only out of that love peace comes in the soul. 
My children, I know that you have goodness, I know that you have love - a merciful love, but many of my children still have a closed heart. They think that they can do it without directing their thoughts towards the Heavenly Father who illuminates-towards my Son who is always with you anew in the Eucharist and who desires to listen to you. My children, why do you not speak to Him? The life of each of you is important and precious, because it is a gift from the Heavenly Father for eternity. Therefore, do not ever forget to keep on thanking Him: speak to Him. 
I know, my children, that what is to come afterwards is unknown to you, but when your hereafter comes you will receive all the answers. My motherly love desires that you be ready. My children, by your life keep putting good feelings in the hearts of the people whom you meet, feelings of peace, goodness, love and forgiveness. Through prayer, hearken to what My Son is saying and act accordingly. 
Anew, I am calling you to prayer for your shepherds, for those whom my Son has called. Remember that they need prayers and love. Thank you. "

MESSAGE DU 2 AOUT 2018 A MEDJUGORJE ... MESSAGE DE LA VIERGE MARIE ... GOSPA

 
2. Our Lady in Galilee! In the little village of Abeline, where Saint Maryam of Bethlehem was born, the Hahouad family was deeply distressed. Their 3-year-old daughter, Eleanor, born with a disability, was doomed to never walk. A month earlier, an Israeli Catholic friend went to visit this stricken family. Seeing the little girl, he had the idea of giving her some rose petals which he had brought back from Medjugorje and which had been blessed by the Mother of God during an apparition. The Gospa (when she appears to the visionaries) actually blesses religious articles that are presented to her: rosaries, icons, crucifixes, medals, as well as rose petals. Pilgrims then give them to those who cannot come, especially to the sick, as signs that their Heavenly Mother is willing to reach out to them through her maternal blessing. With such simple signs received in faith and prayer, Mary does what she wants in the person who is suffering, giving them the graces she deems necessary. 
Our friend, upon seeing little Eleanor, was overcome with compassion and began to hope for the impossible. He explained to the family where the petals were from, and left after having prayed with them. In the evening, the grandmother said to the mother, "Did you put the petals on your daughter's legs?" "No", answered the mother! "Well what are you waiting for?" The mother placed the petals on her daughter's lifeless legs, and after praying many Hail Marys, she went to bed, crying all night long because her heart was so heavy. In the morning, the father, a construction worker, asked his wife, "Why don't you go and see if Our Lady has done anything for Eleanor?" The mother went, tried to lift her daughter upright, but - to her amazement - the little girl stood up on her own, she was comfortably standing on her two feet and started to walk in front of everyone! She went out into the courtyard and turned around several times, so amazed that she was finally able to walk! Since then, Eleanor's walking has come on leaps and bounds, and the whole family continues blessing God for this miracle. Medical records attest to this healing which cannot be explained by science. The Gospa of Medjugorje visited this stricken family, how can we not cry out with joy!?
 
Eleanor's first steps were filmed for one minute, see link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycFpRlS2mOE

3. The Youth Festival 
With great enthusiasm, we thank Heaven for the magnificent Festival that we have just experienced in Medjugorje! Thousands of young people have received great graces and have decided to become witnesses back home. 
More than one million internet users were able to follow the program via the web, which greatly increased the number of graces. Over 570 priests made themselves available to greet, listen, exhort, console and confess these many young people, and to concelebrate the Eucharist. Among them, was our dear Mgr. Hoser, the Special envoy of Pope Francis... 
Our own house Beit Lehemwas full of youngsters, like every year! We were happy to provide this service to Our Lady for her dear young people, so often plagued by the attacks of this world with its destructive viruses. Their lives are difficult because they are surrounded by paganism. They need help to find the true meaning of their existence and prepare their future according to the plan that God has for them in particular! For them, this Festival is a real breath of fresh air...
We created a little six minute video to give you a glimpse of the Festival, seen from Beit Lehem, with our young people. Watch it and pray for them! May they have the grace of perseverance! May they find good priests to encourage them in their decision to walk on the path of holiness! May they never let go of the hand of their Mother from heaven! Thank God for them.

4.The pope's envoy in action! 
On Sunday, July 22nd, Mgr. Henrik Hoser celebrated Sunday mass in front of the entire parish of Medjugorje together with many pilgrims. An historical Moment!
On this occasion, Msgr. Luigi Pezzutole, Apostolic Nuncio for Bosnia and Herzegovina, came to Medjugorje and communicated the following letter from Pope Francis: 
"To our revered brother, Mgr. Henryk Hoser, Archbishop, Bishop Emeritus of Warsaw-Prague! As the continuation of the task of the Special Envoy of the Holy See for the parish of Medjugorje, which You recently accomplished, and in the desire to express the particular pastoral care that this reality requires, I appoint Your Excellency as Apostolic Visitor with a special role for the parish of MeÄ‘ugorje for an indefinite period, ad nutum Sanctae Sedis, with the authority, obligations and in accordance with the modalities specified in the Mandate attached to this Document. Convinced that You will know how efficiently to carry out the entrusted task in the spirit of positive cooperation with all the interested parties, I assure you of my prayers and with heart I impart you the Apostolic Blessing. At the Vatican, May 31st 2018, the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ." Pope Francis.
 
Bishop Hoser resides in the old presbytery of the Franciscans, where Father Slavko used to live and where so many apparitions occurred. One of Mgr. Hoser's tasks will be to prepare the construction of a chapel of perpetual adoration. To be continued...!
 
5.The Day of Prayer on June 16 at Pontmain (France) was a shower of graces! You will find my teaching and prayer of the Rosary with the mysteries of Shabbat on YouTube at:

6.  In the face of the new sexual abuse scandals in the Church, it is of course necessary for us to open our eyes and fight by every means to prevent these horrific crimes against children. Let us nevertheless remain centered on Christ and his peace, and never forget that Jesus died because of our crimes, these and all of our own. To fight effectively against these realities that Satan is using to undermine the Church from inside, there is something all Christians can do: prayer, adoration, contemplating Jesus in his Passion, fasting, and lastly - making reparation. Of course, the idea of making reparation might not be very fashionable today, but it is very pleasing to God, as the saints teach us, so let us begin to make reparation! There are 1000 ways to do it, and you will know in prayer what the Holy Spirit will inspire you to do. 

However, here are some examples that could guide your choice:
Have a Mass celebrated to free a priest from purgatory.
Offer a day of fasting for the priests in Pennsylvania who are impacted by the recent scandals.
Offer a Way of the Cross for seminarians who are exposed to the dangers of sexual deviations. 
Offer a Rosary to help priests who are in the midst of a crushing spiritual struggle.
Offer a Mass for children who have been sexually abused by a member of the clergy or his or her family.
Offer a Mass in honor of the Immaculate Conception and her intentions.
Renounce any compromise in the field of impurity, starting with pornography, indecent or borderline clothing, any inappropriate words, etc.
Offer one or X number of days of sexual abstinence between spouses, etc.
 
Don't abandon Jesus! We know from the mystics that during his agony at Gethsemane, Jesus saw all the sins of the past and those that were going to be committed in the future. Especially those of the chosen souls and those of the shepherds of his Church. For Him to sweat blood meant he endured dreadful anguish, as dreadful as the sins committed by his children! Jesus asks us more than ever: "Watch and pray with me!" (Lk 22, 33)
By keeping Jesus company and meditating on the pain he endured to save all sinners, we will perform a very powerful act towards curbing the development of these crimes against children, for then, through our prayers and the compassion in our hearts, we will be one heart with our Savior's divine supplication to His Father. Instead of losing ourselves in sterile criticism of the Church, we will contribute to healing by associating ourselves with Jesus and Mary. We will contribute to rebuilding the Church. For only the Church has received from Jesus himself this promise, "The gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Mt 16, 18)
 
7. The next Live Broadcast on the message of the 2nd will be on September 3rd at 9pm. The 3rd of June broadcast can be seen here: http://www.enfantsdemedjugorje.fr/medjugorje-direct-du-3-juin-2018/
 
Dearest Gospa, you call and call your children incessantly, you warn them, feed them, teach them, console them, and prepare them for future struggles... We beg of you, awaken our souls that have fallen asleep in materialism, so that we may begin to work on our immortal souls and be among those whom you call the apostles of your love!

Mary TV: August 24, 2018 Reflection - I call you to be born anew in prayer.


"All together with my Son you can change everything and heal the world!"
 
(c) Anthony Zubac 2018

August 24, 2018
St. Bartholomew, Apostle
Dear Family of Mary!
August 2, 2011 "Dear children; Today I call you to be born anew in prayer and through the Holy Spirit, to become a new people with my Son; a people who knows that if they have lost God, they have lost themselves; a people who knows that, with God, despite all sufferings and trials, they are secure and saved. I call you to gather into God's family and to be strengthened with the Father's strength. As individuals, my children, you cannot stop the evil that wants to begin to rule in this world and to destroy it. But, according to God's will, all together, with my Son, you can change everything and heal the world. I call you to pray with all your heart for your shepherds, because my Son chose them. Thank you."

 I find this message to be very important for us in these days. Our Lady captures the temptations, the trials and the challenges of our time with these words:
"Today I call you to be born anew in prayer and through the Holy Spirit, to become a new people with my Son; a people who knows that if they have lost God, they have lost themselves; a people who knows that, with God, despite all sufferings and trials, they are secure and saved."

We know that if we lose God we lose ourselves. If we reject God, His Word, His Creation, His Commandments, we do lose ourselves. We become so much less than we were created to be. We lose our dignity. We lose our purpose. We lose our hope and our future, which should be eternity with God.

And yet, it would appear that many, many people today have lost God. They have rejected Him, or turned from Him due to their wounds and sorrows. They have made lesser gods for themselves, and have begun to experience the disorder that ensues.

Our Lady is with us to help us to adhere to the Lord with all our hearts. She is with us to help us become those who know that with God, despite all sufferings and trials, we are secure and saved. We experience this security and salvation in Medjugorje where Our Lady has come to be with us. The most common testimony given by pilgrims is that in Medjugorje they find peace. They find contentment and hope. They find themselves.

Our task then is to gather ourselves into God's family in these days. In particular, we can gather into the family of Mary which is formed in Medjugorje. In that family we find strength. We find encouragement and hope, peace and love.

Our Lady knows that we cannot stand alone against the evils of our day. We are no match for the enemy alone. The enemy would cut us off from the family of God, so that alone, he would destroy us. But we stand together. We pray together. We believe together. And we have one Mother who watches over us.

And as Our Lady says, "But according to God's will, all together, with my Son, you can change everything and heal the world." She has come to change the world as she told Mirjana. But she needs her family at her side to accomplish this transformation. We are her family. She needs us.

So let us continue in prayer, continue in our new birth in Christ through the Sacraments and the Holy Spirit, continue in love and hope as we travel with Our Lady. She will prevail.

And let's always pray with all of our hearts for our shepherds, because Jesus chose them. Good and bad, they need our prayers and sacrifices, not our judgement. We must be informed of the truth but we must leave the ultimate judgement to God. This is a hard truth, but one that will bear great fruit. Hate the sin but love the sinner. Support the victims, and pray for them. In the long run, this will protect us from the enemy, who would like to use this situation to destroy us all.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: August 23, 2018 Reflection - We must forgive

 
(c) Mary TV 2016


August 23, 2018
St. Rose of Lima
Dear Family of Mary!

Here is the message given through Ivan on August 3rd, 2018 on Apparition Hill. The priest for yesterday's Mass (August 22) in Medjugorje spoke about it:
"Dear children, also today, I desire to call you in a special way to forgiveness. Forgive, dear children, and like this, open the way to the Holy Spirit to your heart. I pray, dear children, for all of you, and intercede for you before my Son. Pray together with me for my plans. Thank you, dear children, for also today having responded to my call." (Ivan, August 3, 2018)

The homily for English Mass on August 22, 2018 in Medjugorje:
Praised be our Lord Jesus Christ. Now and forever...
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ! Dear Brothers in saintly priesthood. Today we celebrate Our Lady with this title: Queen. And as I spoke at the beginning of the Mass, she here in Medjugorje, she is the Queen of Peace. Queen means to "have mercy." And she is indeed the Queen of Mercy because she is coming here in Medjugorje for 37 years. And she is spreading her love to us. And she is spreading her love, her divine love from the person of Jesus Christ through messages, through events. And we should understand the calling of our Mother here in Medjugorje.
She is a Queen. She is the Queen of heaven and earth. But today, she's coming in our hearts and she wants us to open our hearts to the Holy Spirit. In the last message given through Ivan, one of the visionaries, she said that forgiveness opens the way to the Holy Spirit. So the key to having the Holy Spirit in our hearts, to have the divine grace, is to try to forgive. Because forgiveness means love. It means the love of God. And this is the will of God, to love one another, and to love each one with the love of God. Which means forgiveness, which means peace.
But to achieve this is not an easy feat. The key is to listen to what Our Lady, Queen of Peace is telling us here today and is telling us through her messages for 37 years. This is really mind-blowing- 37 years of apparitions! Tens of thousands of messages given to the whole world. Given to us to understand that God wants us to return to the right path. Because she is the Queen, she is the Mother who knows that her sons are not following the path of God. They are following a path that leads away from God.
And this is really the essence of Medjugorje, to return to God's way. To fulfill His will, and to forgive and to love. So today Our Lady is telling us, I want to be the Queen of your heart. I want to be a Queen of love in your heart. But first, you have to forgive yourself. And you have to forgive everyone in your life that you cannot manage to forgive.
If we don't have the power to forgive, we should ask Our Lady to give us this amazing power to forgive and to love. We by ourselves, we cannot forgive. Because we have this ego which is from the beginning. From the mortal sin that we inherited from Adam and Eve. And this battle between us and our ego and Satan will last until the very last moments of our lives. And this is the most important battle in our life. To forgive and to love and to understand that our enemy is not the people around us, our enemy is Satan, who wants us to be destroyed, literally.
So to fight against Satan and against our ego, we must forgive and love with the love of Our Lady, Queen of Peace in Medjugorje. And the easiest way is to pray the Rosary, to fast, to confess, to read the Bible every day, and to attend the Holy Mass. These are the five stones with which we can defeat Satan. Our Lady is telling us this through her messages.
So we must pray the Rosary. Our Lady has requested only one prayer. She requested the Rosary to be prayed all over the world. Because the Rosary is the prayer of peace. And if we pray the Rosary, personally or with others, we manage to have peace in our hearts. We manage to have forgiveness and love.
So, dear Brothers and Sisters, today I tell you with great joy that I am happy to celebrate the Mass today on the Queenship of Our Lady, and I am really happy to be in Medjugorje for the fourth time, second time as a priest, with two seminary students, and we are staying with Sr. Melinda. She has invited us here. And we want to stay here in Medjugorje as long as we can, to pray and be a sign for others that we have peace, forgiveness and love in our hearts.   
 


Thank you to this beautiful priest who gave the homily yesterday. I do not know his name, but he spoke very clearly about the essence of Our Lady's presence in Medjugorje. I had never realized that the five stones are actually designed to help us fight our own ego, our pride, and Satan. But it is so true! Each one of these practices help us to become smaller before God, more ready to be taught, more repentant and forgiving, and more teachable. How beautiful is Our Lady's plan. She helps us to fight our real enemy, through her stones. The real enemy is our pride, our unforgiveness and Satan, who tries to increase our pride with his temptations.   
 
May we live the messages of Our Lady with the heart! She has such wisdom!
 
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: August 22, 2018 Reflection - The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary

 
(c) Mary TV 2016

August 22, 2018
The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Dear Family of Mary!   
July 25, 1988 "Dear children! Today I am calling you to a complete surrender to God. Everything you do and everything you possess give over to God so that He can take control in your life as the King of all that you possess. That way, through me, God can lead you into the depths of the spiritual life. Little children, do not be afraid, because I am with you even if you think there is no way out and that satan is in control. I am bringing peace to you. I am your mother, the Queen of Peace. I am blessing you with the blessings of joy so that for you God may be everything in your life. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Let us pray:

Our Lady, queen of all hearts.

O Mary, Queen of all hearts,
Queen of the family, Queen of the home, Your heart is the overflowing
treasury of the graces of God; Your heart is filled with the riches of The Mysteries of your Son; Your heart truly believes that Nothing is impossible with God; Your heart is the first to receive and welcome The Lord of all glory into this world; Your heart receives as children all of those Redeemed by your Son.
We open our hearts to you. We open our home to you.
We invite you to reign as Queen of our Family.
O Mother so compassionate, O Queen so generous, Strengthen, protect and sustain our family In the goodness of true love; In the difficulties and struggles of life, be our refuge; In the joy and goodness of life, Teach us to rejoice and give thanks to God; Overcome all that threatens to separate us And preserve us in unity; See the hidden and unspoken needs within our hearts And in your goodness answer them.
O Mary, Queen of all hearts, we trust in you. O Mary, Queen of all hearts, we hope in you. O Mary, Queen of all hearts, we love you and we honor you.

Amen.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
