Mary TV: July 10, 2019 Reflection - Evidence!

July 10, 2019

Dear Family of Mary!
"Dear children, according to the will of the merciful Father, I have given you, and will still give you, evident signs of my motherly presence. My children, this is a motherly desire for the healing of souls. This is a desire that every child of mine may have true faith, to live to see wondrous experiences, drinking from the spring of the words of my Son-the words of life..." (July 2, 2019)

When Our Lady first appeared in Medjugorje, it was the abundance of signs that were given to the children and to those who came to Medjugorje to be near them, that testified to the presence of Our Lady. The most evident sign then, and still now, was the apparition each evening to the 6 visionaries.   
Who is not moved by the immediate and obvious change of demeanor in the visionaries at the moment that Our Lady descends toward them? They can sense her approach, and as their eyes look heavenward, they smile lovingly and radiantly. Though we can see nothing, they certainly do see someone they love dearly!

This beautiful sign of God's love for us, the coming of His Mother into our midst, is a gift of the Merciful Father.

But it is not only the visionaries in Medjugorje who sense the presence of the Mother. Pilgrims from all parts of the world can feel her presence. They feel her love, her maternal care, her gentle warmth, the safety of the Mother present among us. It is part of the very atmosphere of Medjugorje, the awareness of the Mother!

But the evidence of her presence doesn't stop there. Each pilgrim gets a little touch from Our Lady, sometime during their visit to Medjugorje. Be it a Rosary that turns golden, or a rock that is shaped like a heart, or a rainbow, or the dancing sun, we all receive a little touch of Our Lady while on pilgrimage. She wants us to know that she is present. She wants us to know that she is with us to pray for the healing of our souls. She desires that each of us have true faith! She wants us to drink from the spring of the words of her Son!
    
This is the evidence that finally changes us. When we come to know Our Lady's heart and we allow that heart to change us. She comes to free us from our brokenness, heal our inner wounds, give us a new understanding of the words of Jesus found in the Scripture, and show us the joy that is set before us! Eternal life!!

And so, we come to Medjugorje to encounter Our Mother in this most intimate and powerful way, through her presence! Simply her presence with us there.

Thank you, dearest Mother Mary, for coming to Medjugorje to encounter your children. Thank you for coming to bless us with your Motherly blessing! We need you so very much!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: July 9, 2019 Reflection - I am calling you!!!


  
(c)Mary TV / Anthony Zubac 2019

July 9, 2019

Dear Family of Mary!   
"Therefore, my children, apostles of my love, I am calling you to give an example of true faith, to bring light where there is darkness, to live my Son..." (July 2, 2019)   
 
In my July 3, 2019 reflection, I shared a sense I received from Our Lady that I was supposed to set aside all my worries about my family and focus on Our Lady's work in these days. That this was a time of urgency and single-minded focus on Our Lady's mission. I must say I received some amazing responses to this idea of urgency.

I want to share some of them with you, because I think they will build us up in our faith and single-minded focus! Here they are:
 
From D.S.: 
 
Cathy, the world needs Our Lady, I believe the time has come. 40 years of Our Lady of Medugorje will be here soon. And so, I must let go of 35 years of teaching, let go of my own children and entrust them all to Our Lady. Just last night I sent out messages to ladies I know from the church, I want to start a Medjugorje prayer group. I feel this is what our Lady wants me to do. Focus, pray, pray and let go! Jesus, I surrender myself to you take care of everything! D.S.
 
From A.N.

Your work over the past years has been a lifesaver for me, esp. during the past 6 months, during my difficult transition from my former life to life in the Veteran's Home. I'm certain that Mary and the Holy Spirit are very pleased with your combined efforts.

Cathy, with regard to your "inspiration", I too feel like "something is coming down the tracks" and I need to get past the transition difficulties and help people in the Vet's home to hear about Mary's coming triumph. It always amazes me how the majority of Catholics have never even heard of Medjugorje. It never even gets mentioned on the secular news channels. 
Love to all, A. N.
 
From P.K:    
Wow, Cathy. Let me offer you some affirmation.  I had gotten up early to say my Rosary and Divine Mercy prayers but had gone back to bed, exhausted, instead of going to Mass. I always feel a lack of peace when I don't go to Mass when I can. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I got up a few hours later and began watering the garden and I "heard" ~
 
'P... you need to focus on living and spreading my messages and MaryTV. If you would have gone to Mass today, you could have spoken to Fr. Joe about wanting a Medjugorje prayer group on Monday nights where you can share the messages and testimonies on Mary TV. I want your collaborative to be a powerful intercessor and place of consolation and faith in the upcoming days. The priests who are there now have been chosen by me. Daughter, please. Focus. Stay focused. Do not let Satan distract or tempt you with idle pleasures. Nothing is more important.' 
 
Cathy, I heard this all at once. It took me longer to type it out right now than it did to "know" this. Please say a prayer for me in Medjugorje. I am so easily distracted and seeking my own comfort instead of her requests. Love and prayers,  P. K. 
 
 
From L.F.: 
 
Your July 3rd reflection was beautiful and on key.  I, too, have had the conviction today that we are now in crucial times.  No more time left to fool around.  For my own part, it means more time spent in prayer and spiritual reading and before the Blessed Sacrament. Just wanted to share with you my own thoughts earlier today as a conviction of what you, too, experienced at the beginning of Mirjana's apparition.   I think she is a very holy woman.   I'd love to talk to her about my own difficulties just to hear what advice she would have. God bless you and Denis for all you do!  To so many of us, you are a God-send! L. F.
Thank you to all of you who responded to this email. I am built up by your responses!! As we can see, there are as many types of responses as there are people. Each one of us has a call, a way to help Our Mother. It is so exciting!! Now is the time to knuckle down and do as Mother Mary is asking...help her to reach her children!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: July 6, 2019 - A Message given during Ivan's prayer group


  
(c)Mary TV / Anthony Zubac 2019


July 6, 2019
Dear Family of Mary!

On July 5, 2019 Ivan met with his prayer group on Apparition Hill from 9:00 pm until 10:30 pm. Many people joined for prayer on the Hill that night.  Here is Ivan's description of his encounter with Our Lady that evening: 
 
Tonight Our Lady came to us very happy and joyful, and she greeted all of us with her motherly greeting: "Praised be Jesus, my dear children!"
After that for a longer time she prayed here over all of us with her arms extended. She blessed all of us with her motherly blessing. She blessed all that you have brought to be blessed.
 
Then Our Lady briefly turned to all of us with these words:
In this time I especially desire to call you to decide for God. Place God in your lives, in your families, in the first place. In these days that are passing in this world of materialism and everything that distances you from my Son, decide for me! Live my messages! I desire to continue to lead you, to lead you to my Son. In Him you will find true and real peace. Thank you, dear children, also today for having responded to my call.  
After that, Our Lady continued to pray over all of us.
Then I recommended all of you, all your intentions.
After that, Our Lady left in the illuminated Sign of the Cross, with the greeting, "Go in peace, my dear children."

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: July 3, 2019 Reflection -Faith!


  
(c)Mary TV / Anthony Zubac 2019


July 3, 2019
St. Thomas, Apostle

Dear Family of Mary!

Dear children, according to the will of the merciful Father, I have given you, and will still give you, evident signs of my motherly presence. My children, this is a motherly desire for the healing of souls. This is a desire that every child of mine may have true faith, to live to see wondrous experiences, drinking from the spring of the words of my Son-the words of life.
My children, my Son, by His love and sacrifice, brought the light of faith into the world and showed you the way of faith. Because, my children, faith elevates pain and suffering. True faith makes prayer more sensitive, and does acts of mercy-a conversation, a gift of alms. Those of my children who have faith-true faith-are happy despite everything because they live the beginning of heavenly happiness on earth. Therefore, my children, apostles of my love, I am calling you to give an example of true faith, to bring light where there is darkness, to live my Son.
My children, as a mother I am telling you: you cannot go on the way of faith and follow my Son without your shepherds. Pray that they may have the strength and the love to lead you. May your prayers always be alongside them. Thank you. (July 2, 2019)   

Today is the Feast of St. Thomas the Apostle. He was the apostle who needed help to believe in the Resurrection of Jesus. He knows how important faith is. St. Thomas pray for us!!

Our Lady's message yesterday is all about Faith. Faith is absolutely essential in these days. Strong Faith!! True Faith! The Way of Faith! Happy Faith! Our Lady's gift to us is Faith!   
Denis and I have experienced the power of Our Lady's Faith here in Medjugorje during our pilgrimage! Our faith has been strengthened and we feel ready to continue in this journey with Our Lady!!

I want to share with all of you an image I had during the apparition yesterday (July 2) at the Blue Cross. We were at the base of Apparition Hill, just under the Blue Cross, with thousands of pilgrims, waiting for Our Lady to appear. It was very hot. There were so many people crowded together! Everyone was patiently waiting for Our Lady and making room for one another. It was wonderful to see so many of Our Lady's children together!!

There were prayers and singing going on until Mirjana lifted her eyes towards the sky and began to greet Our Lady!! Then all went very quiet. It was a beautiful moment. It was as if the sky had opened and the peace of Heaven has descended upon us. My heart became very quiet too.

As I remained silent, I felt an intuition or thought in my heart that I believe was from Our Mother. She told me that in the days ahead she would need me to have a single focus on my work for Mary TV. She seemed to say that I should entrust to her my children and grandchildren, because she would look after them. That I would need to set aside the days ahead to work very hard for Mary TV. That this was a time when much would happen. It was not frightening but serious.

I just share that because I believe that Our Lady's plans are nearing a critical moment in the days just ahead of us. She has been laying the foundation of her plans for a long time, and now they are culminating. It is no time to sit back and rest for those of us who are helping her!! She tells us she will continue to give "evident signs of [her] motherly presence" because through her presence the plan is taking place. And so, we need to be those who are focused on her presence, living out of her motherly guidance and love, in a determined fashion, so that others will find her!!

I also had a sense that Our Lady's plans are like what a mother feels when she is pregnant. The beginning of the pregnancy is small, with small trials like nausea, but everything progresses slowly. Then the middle weeks of the pregnancy are joyful: a growing child and many changes in the mother that begin to show. But when the child is full term the mother senses that everything is about to change, and the child will soon be born. It can be a bit frightening, full of expectation and also pain. When the mother nears the moment of birth, she begins to push. In fact, all she can think about is pushing that little baby out into the world. It is a time of feverish activity with one focus. That is what I feel I am facing right now for Mary TV, but I wonder if we will all feel a similar urge to work hard for our Mother and her plans as they near completion.

So, I share this as an encouragement for all who are serving Our Lady of Medjugorje. These are decisive and exciting days. Thank you to everyone who has responded to her call!! We will not regret it!! The Church needs her. The lost children of the world need her. We all need her!!

Thank you, dearest Mother, for being with us in these days, in Medjugorje!!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

PS. Denis and I travel tomorrow and Friday. I will continue reflections starting July 8!! We continue to pray for you and thank God for each one of you!!!

July 2, 2019

Mary TV: June 30, 2019 Reflection - The First Stone


  
The Statue of Our Lady on Apparition Hill!
I took this picture for all of you!!

June 30, 2019

Dear Family of Mary!

When I mentioned the 5 Stones of Our Lady the other day, I got many responses from our shipmates, asking me to explain what the 5 Stones are!!  I was surprised!!  So I am transcribing Fr. Leon's talk to pilgrims, in which he explains the 5 Stones!!  We will do one stone a day!  Here is the First Stone:
Fr. Leon Periera - English Speaking Chaplain in Medjugorje  (View his talk at https://marytv.tv/fruit-of-medjugorje/   Fruit show 265)

Our Lady said years and years ago, I think back in 1987, "I give you your five stones against your Goliath."  You remember King David, when he was still a shepherd and he went out to meet Goliath, he had to pick five pebbles from the stream, and with his slingshot, he defeated Goliath.  And Our Lady gave us five stones, she said, against our Goliath, whatever our Goliath is. 
Here is my own take on the 5 Stones:
 
#1 - Pray with the heart!  They always say that here in Medjugorje, "Pray with the heart."  What does that mean?  It means praying in your own words to God like He is your best friend. Praying with the heart means praying with out what the Americans call "B.S."  It means praying without b---s---t.  Think about how you pray.  Lot's of people say nice things to God.  They put it in nice language and then they have distractions.  They are distracted by all these things going on in Church or by all the things they have to do when they get home.  Praying with the heart is telling God exactly what is in your heart.  Oh God, don't let me forget to take the laundry out of the machine, or did i leave the door open and the oven on?? Or why is this gentleman making such a noise? And these things are exactly what we need to tell God because they matter to us and so they matter to Him.  And this is what praying with the heart means.  If you have distractions it means that you are not telling God what is important to you.  You are hiding it from Him.  And what's the point, He already sees it, He knows it.  But you need to tell Him. 
And Our Lady says above all, pray the Rosary.  When we were children, our parents went out one night, and we took out the old photo albums, you know the black and white pictures.  And we were looking at it, my sister and me and my brother, and we were thinking how come we are not in some of these pictures.  You know, like my Grandparent's wedding, my mother's baptism...things like that.  And so, we took orange crayons and we drew ourselves in, like stick figures.  So, at my mother's baptism there is this giant orange version of my sister peering at my mother being baptized.  And me at my parents' wedding...And we got into a lot of trouble. 
 
But this idea of an orange crayon, drawing yourself into black and white pictures, that is what the Rosary is.  If you think about a Renaissance painting sponsored by the Italian gentry, you have the Birth of Our Lord - angels - shepherds - Our Lady - St. Joseph - and Don Giovanni and his wife, Isabella... Or the Crucifixion of Our Lord, and who is there, Thomas Aquinas, Mary Magdalene, St. Dominic, St. Catherine of Sienna, with her stigmata, and all sorts of things.  That is what the Rosary is. It is taking ourselves and inserting ourselves into the Mysteries of Christ.  Because the mysteries of Christ must come with power into my life, now and today. 

So, is the Rosary difficult to pray?  No, it is a big orange crayon, and you are drawing yourself in.  So, you just imagine yourself in these scenes.  You don't have to come away with some wonderful inspiration.  Just imagine yourself there as the Archangel Gabriel greeting Our Lady.  Say the words, "Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with you."  And what that means.  Because Gabriel knows it also means that the Lord is with you when you die on the Cross and when your heart is torn in two with the sword piercing it, when you are standing at the foot of the Cross.  He knows that.  And yes, he says that because God told him to. 

 Or imagine yourself as a shepherd, or an angel or one of the Characters.  Put yourself in the scene.  That's praying with the heart.

P.S.  I was able to climb Apparition Hill on Saturday with our group!  It was wonderful!  I prayed for all of you and your intentions.  There is peace on that Hill.  Deep peace that comes from Our Lady!

Mary TV: June 29, 2019 Reflection - The Sacred Heart of Jesus


  
Drawing close to Jesus!
  (c) Mary TV/ Anthony Zubac 2019

June 29, 2019
The Sacred Heart of Jesus!

Dear Family of Mary!

Today is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus!  I just want to send you the great joy of the love of Jesus, so present here in Medjugorje!!  On this feast you can feel Jesus' love just flowing upon us all. 

During Hour of Mercy I discovered a beautiful prayer that St. Faustina wrote in her Diary to Jesus Sacred Heart.  Of all people, she understands the Sacred Heart!!!

Saint Faustina wrote:

O Jesus, eternal Truth, our Life, I call upon You and I beg Your mercy for poor sinners.

O sweetest Heart of my Lord, full of pity and unfathomable mercy, I plead with
You for poor sinners.

O Most Sacred Heart, Fount of Mercy from which gush forth rays
 of inconceivable graces upon the entire human race, I beg of You light for poor sinners.

O Jesus, be mindful of Your own bitter Passion and do not permit the loss of souls
 redeemed at so dear a price of Your most precious Blood.

O Jesus, when I consider
the great price of Your Blood, I rejoice at its immensity, for one drop alone would have been enough for the salvation of all sinners.

Although sin is an abyss of wickedness
 and ingratitude, the price paid for us can never be equaled.

Therefore, let every soul 
trust in the Passion of the Lord, and place its hope in His mercy.

God will not deny His
 mercy to anyone. Heaven and earth may change, but God's mercy will never be exhausted.

Oh, what immense joy burns in my heart when I contemplate Your
 incomprehensible goodness, O Jesus!

I desire to bring 
all sinners to Your feet that they may glorify Your mercy throughout endless ages.  (Diary, 72)
This Heart of Love is beating here in Medjugorje!!  Draw close to Jesus today!!

Our Lady told us:
October 25, 1996 "Dear children! Today I invite you to open yourselves to God the Creator, so that He changes you. Little children, you are dear to me. I love you all and I call you to be closer to me and that your love towards my Immaculate Heart be more fervent. I wish to renew you and lead you with my Heart to the Heart of Jesus, which still today suffers for you and calls you to conversion and renewal. Through you, I wish to renew the world. Comprehend, little children, that you are today the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Little children, I invite you and I love you and in a special way implore: Convert!" Thank you for having responded to my call."  
 
May we draw closer and closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary!!!  

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: June 28, 2019 Reflection - I am preparing you for the new times...


  
Our Lady being processed before the Anniversary Mass!
  (c) Mary TV/ Anthony Zubac 2019

June 28, 2019

Dear Family of Mary!
"Dear children! I am thanking God for each of you. In a special way, little children, thank you for having responded to my call. I am preparing you for the new times that you may be firm in faith and persevering in prayer, so that the Holy Spirit may work through you and renew the face of the earth. I am praying with you for peace which is the most precious gift, even though Satan wants war and hatred. You, little children, be my extended hands and proudly go with God. Thank you for having responded to my call." (June 25, 2019)

Our Lady has mentioned a new time several times over the years, always with a sense that she has come to get us ready for each new time.  Here are a few of those references. 
January 25, 1993 "Dear children! Today I call you to accept and live my messages with seriousness. These days are the days when you need to decide for God, for peace and for the good. May every hatred and jealousy disappear from your life and your thoughts, and may there only dwell love for God and for your neighbor. Thus, and only thus shall you be able to discern the signs of the time. I am with you and I guide you into a new time, a time which God gives you as grace so that you may get to know him more. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Our Lady told us that the new time she was announcing in 1993 would be a time in which we could get to know God more.  Certainly her presence in Medjugorje has facilitated our getting to know God better and better.  She has taught us to pray with the heart, to adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, to read the Sacred Scriptures and to attend daily Mass.  All of these practices draw us close to God and to His love.  We are so blessed to have experienced that new time of grace. 
December 25, 1995 "Dear Children! Today I also rejoice with you and I bring you little Jesus, so that He may bless you. I invite you, dear children, so that your life may be united with Him. Jesus is the King of Peace and only He can give you the peace that you seek. I am with you and I present you to Jesus in a special way, now in this new time in which one should decide for Him. This time is the time of grace. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Again in 1995 Our Lady announced a new time in which we should decide for God.  She brought us little Jesus, so that He could bless and lead us into a time of grace and joy.  She wanted us to let Jesus lead us into peace!  
 

October 25, 2000 "Dear children! Today I desire to open my motherly heart to you and to call you all to pray for my intentions. I desire to renew prayer with you and to call you to fast which I desire to offer to my Son Jesus for the coming of a new time - a time of spring. In this Jubilee year many hearts have opened to me and the Church is being renewed in the Spirit. I rejoice with you and I thank God for this gift; and you, little children, I call to pray, pray, pray - until prayer becomes a joy for you... Thank you for having responded to my call."

And in 2000, Our Lady invited us into the new time of spring, during the 2000th jubilee year, so that we could be renewed in the Holy Spirit and grow in prayer and joy! 

Now in 2019 we are again invited to New Times, times that will be a challenge to us.  Times in which we will need firm faith and persevering prayer in order to be strong and cooperate with the Holy Spirit who is bringing about renewal of the entire earth.  What these days will be like we do not know.  But we have the tools we need now to face those days.  We have the 5 stones, and Our Lady's prayer program to guide us as we move into these New Times. 

It sounds difficult but triumphant.  Perhaps we are drawing closer to the Triumph of her Immaculate Heart! 


In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

PS.  I will continue reflections over the next few days, but maybe not every day.  I want to take some time to pray and experience Our Lady on the hills and Jesus in Adoration.  So don't be worried if you don't get a reflection every day!!  I am praying for all of you!!  Thank you for responding to Our Lady's call!!!

   The Procession with Our Lady's Statue during the 38th Anniversary Mass

St. Cyril of Alexandria

Dear Family of Mary!
"Dear children! I am thanking God for each of you. In a special way, little children, thank you for having responded to my call. I am preparing you for the new times that you may be firm in faith and persevering in prayer, so that the Holy Spirit may work through you and renew the face of the earth. I am praying with you for peace which is the most precious gift, even though Satan wants war and hatred. You, little children, be my extended hands and proudly go with God. Thank you for having responded to my call." (June 25, 2019)

It seems that Our Lady has plans...plans for the future. She is preparing us for The New Times! We do not know what these new times will be like. But we know they are coming. And it appears that these new times will require something from us. We will need firm faith, perseverance in prayer and the Holy Spirit. It sounds like we will be needed in these New Times to bring about a renewal that will span the earth.

This is no small thing!

It sounds impossible from our human vantage point.

But Our Lady is doing the preparing, we only need to respond.

I can't write much now, so let's just pray together this prayer to Our Lady in response to her call to help her in preparing the New Times:

How to Give Oneself to Mary
Mother of Goodness, of Love and of Mercy
(Given by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj, 4/19/1984)

Oh my Mother! 
Mother of goodness, love and mercy! 
I love you immensely, and I offer myself to you. 
Through your goodness, your love, 
And your mercy, save me! 
I wish to be yours. 
I love you immensely 
And I wish that you protect me. 
In my heart, oh mother of goodness, 
Give me your goodness, 
So that I go to Heaven. 
I ask you for your immense love 
That you may give me the grace 
That I will be able to love each one 
Just like you loved Jesus Christ. 
I ask you in grace 
That I be able to be merciful* to you. 
I offer myself completely to you 
And I wish that you will be with me at each step, 
Because you are full of grace. 
I wish never to forget your grace, 
And if I should lose it, 
I will ask, make me find it again. Amen.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

June 25, 2019 Anniversary Message from the Queen of Peace

  
    Thank you Dearest Mother!!!
  (c) Mary TV/ Anthony Zubac 2019

Dear Family of Mary!

Here is the
 June 25, 2019 Message (through Marija):
"Dear children! I am thanking God for each of you. In a special way, little children, thank you for having responded to my call. I am preparing you for the new times that you may be firm in faith and persevering in prayer, so that the Holy Spirit may work through you and renew the face of the earth. I am praying with you for peace which is the most precious gift, even though Satan wants war and hatred. You, little children, be my extended hands and proudly go with God. Thank you for having responded to my call."
 

And here is the Regular Annual Message through the visionary Ivanka:
The visionary Ivanka Ivankovic-Elez had her regular annual apparition on June 25th 2019.  At her last daily apparition on May 7, 1985, Our Lady confided to Ivanka the 10th secret and told her that she would have an apparition once a year on the anniversary of the apparitions. It was that way also this year.

The apparition, which lasted 4 minutes (18:37h - 18:41h), took place at Ivanka's family home. Only Ivanka's family was present at the apparition. After the apparition, Ivanka said that Our Lady gave the following message:
"Little children, pray, pray, pray."

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

The Eve of the 38th Anniversary
 
Dear Family of Mary!
 
We have arrived at the celebration of 38 years of Our Lady's coming to Medjugorje! It seems impossible that she would stay with us this long.  But, indeed, she has!!  Denis and I arrived yesterday in Medjugorje and were greeted by so many of our dear friends!!  It is really an experience of family here in Medjugorje. 

Today we used our new studio for the first time!!!  We prayed Divine Mercy here and then the Daily Rosary.  Denis and Tom gave everyone a tour right after Divine Mercy which you can watch in the Hour of Mercy Archive. 

Here are three pictures I took:

This is the main set!  Don't the chairs look comfy!!  They wouldn't let us do the Rosary there today because they were afraid we would fall asleep!!


These are the giant studio cameras that were used today for our Rosary.  Wow are they big!!!



And here is our beautiful Blessed Mother, who is really in charge of all this stuff!!  May we serve her well in this studio!


Tomorrow will be a big day, so I am keeping this short!  We will have Hour of Mercy at 3:00 pm, Daily Rosary at 4:00 pm,  Evening Rosary with the Parish at 6:00 pm, and the 38th Anniversary Mass at 7:00 pm!! And there will be Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament directly after Mass!! Don't miss it.  Our Lady is with us to bless us!!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: June 23, 2019 Reflection - 38th Anniversary Novena Day 9

June 23, 2019
38th Anniversary Novena - Day Nine
 
Dear Family of Mary!
 
In Fatima Our Lady promised that "in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph". In Medjugorje she has told us "I invite you to self-renunciation for nine days so that, with your help, everything that I desire to realize through the secrets I began in Fatima, may be fulfilled" (August 25, 1991). The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is our hope in these dark days. As we reflect on Our Lady's coming in Medjugorje, this Triumph gives us a hope for the future. We also are being invited to be part of that Triumph, through our response to her call:
 
"Dear children! Today in a special way I invite you all to prayer and renunciation. For now as never before satan wants to show the world his shameful face by which he wants to seduce as many people as possible onto the way of death and sin. Therefore, dear children, help my Immaculate Heart to triumph in the sinful world. I beseech all of you to offer prayers and sacrifices for my intentions so I can present them to God for what is most necessary. Forget your desires, dear children, and pray for what God desires, and not for what you desire. Thank you for having responded to my call."(September 25, 1991)
 
May we respond with all our hearts to Our Lady's plea! Let us pray:
 
The Annunciation
"Dear children! Also in this difficult time God's love sends me to you. My children, do not be afraid, I am with you. With complete trust give me your hearts that I may help you to recognize the signs of the time in which you live. I will help you to come to know the love of my Son. I will triumph through you. Thank you."(June 2, 2007)
 
The Visitation
"Dear children; Today I call you to a humble, my children, humble devotion. Your hearts need to be just. May your crosses be your means in the battle against the sins of the present time. May your weapon be patience and boundless love, a love that knows to wait and which will make you capable of recognizing God's signs, that your life, by humble love, may show the truth to all those who seek it in the darkness of lies. My children, my apostles, help me to open the paths to my Son. Once again I call you to pray for your shepherds. Alongside them, I will triumph. Thank you."(October 2, 2010)
 
The Birth of Jesus
"Dear children! I come to you as a Mother with gifts. I come with love and mercy. Dear children, mine is a big heart. In it, I desire all of your hearts, purified by fasting and prayer. I desire that, through love, our hearts may triumph together. I desire that through that triumph you may see the real Truth, the real Way and the real Life. I desire that you may see my Son. Thank you."(March 18, 2007)
 
The Presentation
"Dear children, Today, with my motherly heart, I call you gathered around me to love your neighbor. My children, stop. Look in the eyes of your brother and see Jesus, my Son. If you see joy, rejoice with him. If there is pain in the eyes of your brother, with your tenderness and goodness, cast it away, because without love you are lost. Only love is effective; it works miracles. Love will give you unity in my Son and the victory of my heart. Therefore, my children, love."(September 2, 2008)
 
The Finding in the Temple
"Dear children! I desire to share my joy with you. In my Immaculate Heart I feel that there are many of those who have drawn closer to me and are, in a special way, carrying the victory of my Immaculate Heart in their hearts by praying and converting. I desire to thank you and to inspire you to work even more for God and His kingdom with love and the power of the Holy Spirit. I am with you and I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."(August 25, 2000)
 
Dear Mother Mary, we gather together to pray this novena, with deep gratitude for your presence in our midst. You have come to show us the way to heaven. The Heavenly Father has sent you to us to help us to repent and return to Him. You are coming to be the bond between us and the Heavenly Father, and to help us to love and serve His Son. You pray with us for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, because you have told us that when we have the Holy Spirit, we have everything. Therefore we ask that during this Novena you will help us to bond with you and through you with our Triune God who loves us so much. We ask that every grace can be poured out upon our shepherds, especially Pope Francis, during these nine days that they will be strengthened and purified for the days ahead, these most triumphant days of the Triumph of your Immaculate Heart! Thank you, dearest Mother!!!
 
Thank you for praying this novena with us!  I believe we have prepared our hearts for the graces that Our Lady will pour out upon us on June 25!  Let's remain in prayer and hope!  God bless you all!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: June 22, 2019 Reflection - 38th Anniversary Novena - Day 8


  (c) Mateo Ivankovic 2017
Our Lady's great love for us!


J.M.J.
June 22, 2019
38th Anniversary Novena Day 8
 
Dear Family of Mary!

"If you knew how much I love you, you would cry with joy. When anyone is before you, and asks you something, you will give it to him. I am before so many hearts, but they remain closed. Pray so that the world receives my love." (June 21, 1984 Jelena)
 
Our Lady has come to give us her love. Let me share the witness of Musician Dorijan Skrobonja, posted on the parish website (http://www.medjugorje.hr/en/news/the-experience-of-one-medjugorje-pilgrim,6888.html ) :
 
"The special encounter with Medjugorje took place four years ago, when I came on a pilgrimage with my family. We always came here to give thanks to God and to receive blessings. I never thought that anything special should happen to me, but that was exactly what happened. My wife and I were going to the church, to pray there. I knelt and I began to pray. Suddenly, I felt warmth, love and gentleness that were being poured on me. It was in that moment that Mother conveyed a message to me: "Don't you know how much I love you; why do you still question my love?"

I began to cry because of fear and embarrassment; I could feel how small my faith was. All of my worries, all of my burdens were released, I felt completely free, as if I was in the world of complete and utter love, warmth and tenderness. I felt ashamed to cry and I could feel people staring at me. My wife could see that something extraordinary was taking place.

It was that same night that I wrote the poem to Our Lady: 'Tonight I stood beneath Thee, O Mother, I stood beneath Thee, Pure Tenderness'," said Dorijan, who is a member of Aledory band together with his brother and they witness their faith with the music. "We are trying to live the messages of the Queen of Peace. Sometimes we are able to do that, sometimes we fail. I regret for not having been able to come to Medjugorje more often."
 
This is a beautiful description of what it is like to encounter the love of Our Mother, Mary. She is waiting to pour out her love on all of us. We have only to ask! Let us pray!
 
 
The Annunciation
"Dear children! Today I wish to give you my own love. You do not know, dear children, how great my love is, and you do not know how to accept it. In various ways I wish to show it to you, but you, dear children, do not recognize it. You do not understand my words with your heart and neither are you able to comprehend my love. Dear children, accept me in your life and so you will be able to accept all I am saying to you and to which I am calling you. Thank you for having responded to my call."(May 22, 1986)
 
The Visitation
"Dear children! With joy in the heart I love you all and call you to draw closer to my Immaculate Heart so I can draw you still closer to my Son Jesus, and that He can give you His peace and love, which are nourishment for each one of you. Open yourselves, little children, to prayer - open yourselves to my love. I am your mother and cannot leave you alone in wandering and sin. You are called, little children, to be my children, my beloved children, so I can present you all to my Son. Thank you for having responded to my call."(June 25, 2013)
 
The Birth of Jesus
"Dear children, I am coming to you as a mother and I desire that in me, as in a mother, you may find your abode, consolation and rest. Therefore, my children, apostles of my love, pray. Pray with humble devotion, obedience and complete trust in the Heavenly Father. Trust as I have trusted when it was said to me that I will bring the blessing of the promise. May out of your hearts, from your lips, always come forth 'May your will be done!' Therefore, trust and pray so that I can intercede for you before the Lord, for him to give you the Heavenly Blessing and fill you with the Holy Spirit. Then he will be able to help all those who do not know the Lord - you, apostles of my love, will help them to call him 'Father' with complete trust. Pray for your shepherds and place your trust in their blessed hands. Thank you."(March 02, 2014)
 
The Presentation
"Dear children! I am here, I am among you. I am looking at you, am smiling at you and I love you in the way that only a mother can. Through the Holy Spirit who comes through my purity, I see your hearts and I offer them to my Son. Already for a long time I have been asking of you to be my apostles, to pray for those who have not come to know God's love. I am asking for prayer said out of love, prayer which carries out works and sacrifices. Do not waste time thinking about whether you are worthy to be my apostles. The Heavenly Father will judge everyone; and you, love Him and listen to Him. I know that all of this confuses you, even my very stay among you, but accept it with joy and pray that you may comprehend that you are worthy to work for Heaven. My love is upon you. Pray that my love may win in all hearts, because that is the love which forgives, gives and never stops. Thank you."(February 02, 2015)
 
The Finding in the Temple
"Dear children! As a mother, I desire to be of help to you. With my motherly love, I desire to help you to open your heart and to put my Son in the first place in it. Through your love for my Son and through your prayer, I desire for God's light to illuminate you and God's mercy to fill you. In this way, I desire for the darkness, and the shadow of death which wants to encompass and mislead you, to be driven away. I desire for you to feel the joy of the blessing of God's promise. You, children of man, you are God's children - you are my children. Therefore, my children, set out on the ways on which my love leads you, teaches you humility and wisdom, and finds the way to the Heavenly Father. Pray with me for those who do not accept me and do not follow me - those who, because of hardness of their hearts, cannot feel the joy of humility, devotion, peace and love - the joy of my Son. Pray that your shepherds, with their blessed hands, may always give you the joy of God's blessing. Thank you."(March 18, 2014)
 
Dear Mother Mary, we gather together to pray this novena, with deep gratitude for your presence in our midst. You have come to show us the way to heaven. The Heavenly Father has sent you to us to help us to repent and return to Him. You are coming to be the bond between us and the Heavenly Father, and to help us to love and serve His Son.

Mary TV: June 21, 2019 Reflection - 38th Anniversary Novena Day 7


  (c) Mateo Ivankovic 2016


J.M.J.
June 21, 2019
38th Anniversary Novena Day 7
 
Dear Family of Mary!
 
Our Lady has been coming to us for 38 years, injecting into our tired and discouraged world the gift of Divine Hope. God has sent her to be a light in the darkness of sin and faithlessness. Now we are asked to carry that hope into our own spheres of influence. Hope is like fresh air, it revives our spirits. May we receive the hope Our Lady brings and give it to others:
 
"Dear children! Today I call you to renew prayer and fasting with even greater enthusiasm until prayer becomes a joy for you. Little children, the one who prays is not afraid of the future and the one who fasts is not afraid of evil. Once again, I repeat to you: only through prayer and fasting also wars can be stopped - wars of your unbelief and fear for the future. I am with you and am teaching you little children: your peace and hope are in God. That is why draw closer to God and put Him in the first place in your life. Thank you for having responded to my call."(January 25, 2001)
 
Let us pray: 
 
The Annunciation
"Dear children! Also today I call you to pray for peace. Pray with the heart, little children, and do not lose hope because God loves His creatures. He desires to save you, one by one, through my coming here. I call you to the way of holiness. Pray, and in prayer you are open to God's will; in this way, in everything you do, you realize God's plan in you and through you. Thank you for having responded to my call."(March 25, 2003)
 
The Visitation
"Dear children! Also today I call you, in this time of grace, to pray for little Jesus to be born in your heart. May He, who is peace itself, give peace to the entire world through you. Therefore, little children, pray without ceasing for this turbulent world without hope, so that you may become witnesses of peace for all. May hope begin to flow through your hearts as a river of grace. Thank you for having responded to my call."(November 25, 2008)
 
The Birth of Jesus
"Dear children! I look at you and I see in your heart death without hope, restlessness and hunger. There is no prayer or trust in God, that is why the Most High permits me to bring you hope and joy. Open yourselves. Open your hearts to God's mercy and He will give you everything you need and will fill your hearts with peace, because He is peace and your hope. Thank you for having responded to my call."(November 25, 2010)
 
The Presentation
"Dear children! Anew, in a motherly way, I am calling you not to be of a hard heart. Do not shut your eyes to the warnings which the Heavenly Father sends to you out of love. Do you love Him above all else? Do you repent for having often forgotten that the Heavenly Father, out of His great love, sent his Son to redeem us by the Cross? Do you repent for not yet having accepted the message? My children, do not resist the love of my Son. Do not resist hope and peace. Along with your prayer and fasting, by His cross, my Son will cast away the darkness that wants to surround you and come to rule over you. He will give you the strength for a new life. Living it according to my Son, you will be a blessing and a hope to all those sinners who wander in the darkness of sin. My children, keep vigil. I, as a mother, am keeping vigil with you. I am especially praying and watching over those whom my Son called to be light-bearers and carriers of hope for you - for your shepherds. Thank you." (March 02, 2013)
 
The Finding in the Temple
"Dear children, Remember - for I am telling you - that love will win. I know that many of you are losing hope because around you, you see suffering, pain, jealousy, envy... but, I am your mother. I am in the Kingdom but am also here with you. My Son is sending me anew to help you. Therefore, do not lose hope; instead, follow me - because the victory of my heart is in the name of God. My beloved Son is thinking of you as he has always thought of you. Believe him and live him. He is the life of the world. My children, to live my Son means to live the Gospel. This is not easy. This means love, forgiveness and sacrifice. This purifies and it opens the Kingdom. Sincere prayer, which is not only words but is a prayer which the heart speaks, will help you. Likewise fasting (will help you), because it is still more of love, forgiveness and sacrifice. Therefore, do not lose hope but follow me. I am imploring you anew to pray for your shepherds so that they may always look to my Son who was the first Shepherd of the world and whose family was the entire world."(December 02, 2014)
 
Dear Mother Mary, we gather together to pray this novena, with deep gratitude for your presence in our midst. You have come to show us the way to heaven. The Heavenly Father has sent you to us to help us to repent and return to Him. You are coming to be the bond between us and the Heavenly Father, and to help us to love and serve His Son. You pray with us for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, because you have told us that when we have the Holy Spirit, we have everything.

38th Anniversary Novena - Day 6
 
Dear Family of Mary!
 
Today we reflect on the great joy that Our Lady brings to us in Medjugorje. Pilgrims experience this joy during their stay in Medjugorje. It is a joy that cannot be manufactured. No rock concert or baseball game can give this kind of joy. It is a joy that wells up from within. It is triggered by even the smallest thing, like a beautiful sunset or a tiny flower. It is the joy of being with God. Our Lady said to us:
 
"Dear children! I invite you now to be open to God. See, children, how nature is opening herself and is giving life and fruits. In the same way I invite you to live with God and to surrender completely to him. Children, I am with you and I want to introduce you continuously to the joy of life. I desire that everyone may discover the joy and love which can be found only in God and which only God can give. God doesn't want anything from you only your surrender. Therefore, children, decide seriously for God because everything else passes away. Only God doesn't pass away. Pray to be able to discover the greatness and joy of life which God gives you. Thank you for having responded to my call."(May 25, 1989)
 
This joy "can be found only in God". And it is available to us as we respond to Our Lady's call, and live her messages. Today let's give thanks for this great joy which comes from God!
 
The Annunciation
"Dear children! I desire to share my joy with you. In my Immaculate Heart I feel that there are many of those who have drawn closer to me and are, in a special way, carrying the victory of my Immaculate Heart in their hearts by praying and converting. I desire to thank you and to inspire you to work even more for God and His kingdom with love and the power of the Holy Spirit. I am with you and I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."(August 25, 2000)
 
The Visitation
"Dear children! In this time of grace, I call all of you to renew prayer. Open yourselves to Holy Confession so that each of you may accept my call with the whole heart. I am with you and I protect you from the ruin of sin, but you must open yourselves to the way of conversion and holiness so that your heart may burn out of love for God. Give Him time and He will give Himself to you and thus, in the will of God you will discover the love and the joy of living. Thank you for having responded to my call."(November 25, 2012)
 
The Birth of Jesus
"Dear children! Give thanks with me to the Most High for my presence with you. My heart is joyful watching the love and joy in the living of my messages. Many of you have responded, but I wait for, and seek, all the hearts that have fallen asleep to awaken from the sleep of unbelief. Little children, draw even closer to my Immaculate Heart so that I can lead all of you toward eternity. Thank you for having responded to my call."(June 25, 2011)
 
 
The Presentation
"Dear children! Also today I call you to conversion and to holiness. God desires to give you joy and peace through prayer but you, little children, are still far away - attached to the earth and to earthly things. Therefore, I call you anew: open your heart and your sight towards God and the things of God - and joy and peace will come to reign in your hearts. Thank you for having responded to my call."(May 25, 2012) 
 
The Finding in the Temple
"Dear children! Also today I call you to also be like the stars, which by their light give light and beauty to others so they may rejoice. Little children, also you be the radiance, beauty, joy and peace - and especially prayer - for all those who are far from my love and the love of my Son Jesus. Little children, witness your faith and prayer in joy, in the joy of faith that is in your hearts; and pray for peace, which is a precious gift from God. Thank you for having responded to my call."(September 25, 2014)

38th Anniversary Novena Day 5
 
Dear Family of Mary!
 
"Dear children! I want you to surrender your hearts to me so that I may take you on the way, which leads to the light and to eternal life. I do not want your hearts to wander in today's darkness. I will help you. I will be with you on this way of discovery of the love and the mercy of God. As a mother, I ask you to permit me to do this. Thank you for having responded to my call." (March 18, 1999 Mirjana)
 
Today is Day Five of our Novena for the 38th Anniversary of Our Lady's coming to Medjugorje. As we see in this message from March 18, 1999, Our Lady speaks of surrender. She longs that we surrender our hearts, our very lives into her hands. What does surrender mean?
 
In the Oxford English Dictionary one of the meanings of surrender is "To abandon oneself entirely to..." This means to let go control of my life, and place it entirely in another's hands. It is an act of utter trust. It is the kind of abandonment that a baby has in his mother's arms, a trust that is complete. There is no fear or worry involved, only a trusting repose. To abandon oneself entirely to another means to place all one's hope and trust in that person, knowing that it is the best possible thing to do. To abandon oneself entirely to Our Lady and thus to Jesus, is truly the best thing we can do for ourselves. This is total consecration!
 
Our Lady asks us surrender ourselves to her and through her to God. She says that she needs this surrender in order to work in us and through us. Today we will meditate on surrender, in the words of Our Lady!
 
The Annunciation
"Dear children! Today also I call each one of you to decide to surrender again everything completely to me. Only that way will I be able to present each of you to God. Dear children, you know that I love you immeasurably and that I desire each of you for myself, but God has given to all a freedom which I lovingly respect and humbly submit to. I desire, dear children that you help so that everything God has planned in this parish shall be realized. If you do not pray, you shall not be able to recognize my love and the plans which God has for this parish and for each individual. Pray that Satan does not entice you with his pride and deceptive strength. I am with you and I want you to believe me, that I love you. Thank you for having responded to my call."(November 25, 1987)
 
The Visitation
"Dear children! Today also I am inviting you to a complete surrender to God. Dear children, you are not conscious of how God loves you with such a great love because He permits me to be with you so I can instruct you and help you to find the way of peace. This way, however, you cannot discover if you do not pray. Therefore, dear children, forsake everything and consecrate your time to God and God will bestow gifts upon you and bless you. Little children, don't forget that your life is fleeting like a spring flower which today is wondrously beautiful but tomorrow has vanished. Therefore, pray in such a way that your prayer, your surrender to God, may become like a road sign. That way, your witness will not only have value for yourselves but for all eternity. Thank you for having responded to my call."(March 25, 1988)  
 
The Birth of Jesus
"Dear children! I am inviting you to a complete surrender to God. Pray, little children, that Satan may not carry you about like the branches in the wind. Be strong in God. I desire that through you the whole world may get to know the God of joy. By your life bear witness for God's joy. Do not be anxious nor worried. God himself will help you and show you the way. I desire that you love all men with my love. Only in that way can love reign over the world. Little children, you are mine. I love you and want you to surrender to me so that I can lead you to God. Never cease praying so that Satan cannot take advantage of you. Pray for the knowledge that you are mine. I bless you with blessings of joy. Thank you for having responded to my call."(May 25, 1988)
 
The Presentation
"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."(July 25, 1988)
 
The Finding in the Temple
 "Dear children, on this day of grace, I am calling you to love. Little children, God loves you immeasurably and that is why, little children, full of trust and without looking back and without fear, completely surrender your hearts to Him so that God may fill them with His love. Do not be afraid to believe in His love and mercy, because His love is stronger than every one of your weaknesses and fears. Therefore, my children, full of love in your hearts, trust in Jesus and say your 'yes' to Him, because He is the only way which leads you to the Eternal Father." (Jakov Annual Message 2018)
 
Dear Mother Mary, we gather together to pray this novena, with deep gratitude for your presence in our midst. You have come to show us the way to heaven. The Heavenly Father has sent you to us to help us to repent and return to Him. You are coming to be the bond between us and the Heavenly Father, and to help us to love and serve His Son. You pray with us for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, because you have told us that when we have the Holy Spirit, we have everything. Therefore we ask that during this Novena you will help us to bond with you and through you with our Triune God who loves us so much. We ask that every grace can be poured out upon our shepherds, especially Pope Francis, during these nine days that they will be strengthened and purified for the days ahead, these most triumphant days of the Triumph of your Immaculate Heart! Thank you, dearest Mother!!!
 
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
