Dear Family of Mary!

January 25, 2012 “Dear children! With joy, also today I call you to open your hearts and to listen to my call. Anew, I desire to draw you closer to my Immaculate Heart, where you will find refuge and peace. Open yourselves to prayer, until it becomes a joy for you. Through prayer, the Most High will give you an abundance of grace and you will become my extended hands in this restless world which longs for peace. Little children, with your lives witness faith and pray that faith may grow day by day in your hearts. I am with you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

There are times when we actually see Our Lady reach out to her children through someone, almost as if they are her extended hands. I am so happy to share a true story with you, as relayed by John Harpole, from Colorado, in which Our Lady did just that! Let us rejoice that Our Lady wants us to receive abundant graces and become her extended hands in the restless world which longs for peace. Isn’t that the answer to our current woes? To reach out with the love and peace of Mary!!

A ‘THIN PLACE’ WITH THE BLESSED MOTH ER
By John Harpole

When my Aunt Pat died suddenly in Amarillo, Texas, we were all stunned by what some would refer to as the “end of her story.” But her story didn’t end there.

It’s the story the week after her death that will send a warm feeling up your spine, reinforce your spirituality, or perhaps erode at least some degree of skepticism you might have been embracing.

This story’s main elements include our Blessed Mother, a rosary and Aunt Pat.

The day before the funeral, my Amarillo sister-in-law, Eileen, accompanied Aunt Pat’s only daughter, Missy, on what otherwise would have been a lonely mission to the mortuary.

Missy was carrying the burden of all things that day, and when the funeral director asked her for Aunt Pat’s rosary to be buried with her in her hands, Missy drew a blank She didn’t think to add a rosary to the long list of things she was delivering to the funeral home that day.

Eileen came to the rescue, not hesitating to offer up her own rosary. It was a special rosary from Medjugorje, given by a friend who had visited that very holy place. Eileen had carried it with her for 15 years and her constant use of it had actually given the chain between the beads a golden hue.

Later that night, Eileen shared the story of the trip to the funeral home with me. I could tell that she was going to miss that rosary. I even made a mental note to track down another Medjugorje rosary as a replacement for her, even though I clearly sensed that nothing could replace the special significance Eileen attached to that rosary. Hers was a generous gift at the right time and place.

I was reminded of that “mental note” five days later, after 6:30 a.m. Mass. It was the first daily Mass I was able to attend after my Aunt’s funeral and it felt good to be home in Denver.

I was standing in the back of church with friends, sharing the sad news of last week, when a woman approached us. I knew that I had met her once before, but couldn’t place her name. She always sat about five pews behind me at daily Mass.

She said “Excuse me for interrupting but I was praying last night and the Blessed Mother told me to bring this rosary to mass today and give it to someone. She told me that when I got to church she would tell me who to give it to.” She looked directly at me and then said, “She told me during mass to give it to you.”

She handed the rosary to me and then said, “It’s from Medjugorje …”

My knees buckled and I began to cry. I did my best to tell her the story of the prior week but I’m afraid that it only came out in incoherent bits and spurts while I wept.

UNBELIEVABLE … or is it?

Just five days before, at my Aunt Pat’s funeral, her Pastor Fr. John, spoke about an ancient Irish tradition dealing with “thin places.” He described them as a “place in time where the space between heaven and earth grows thin and the Sacred and the secular seem to meet.”

I’m writing this story to thank our Blessed Mother for creating and sharing that unforgettable “thin place” in the back of St. Mary’s church this past Tuesday morning.

You can help by sharing this story with others and let them know that our Mother Mary, is always there for us.

By the way, FedEx completed the sacred journey of that rosary as I write this — back to Eileen in Amarillo.

Thy will be done.

Thank you, John, for sharing this beautiful story with us. We rejoice that you were touched by Our Lady in such a direct way, through this wonderful woman, a true daughter of Mary, who became her extended hands. Praise Jesus and Mary!!

Oh, and I believe that Medjugorje is one of those “Thin Places!!”

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

“Medjugorje is the spiritual center of the world!”

Pope St. John Paul II – February 24, 1990

“Dear children, my real, living presence among you should make you happy because this is the great love of my Son. He is sending me among you so that, with a motherly love, I may grant you safety!”

Our Lady of Medjugorje – July 2, 2016

“Rejoice, little children, because God is merciful and loves you all with His immeasurable love and leads you to the way of salvation through my coming here!”

Our Lady of Medjugorje – June 25, 2018

“My Son promised me that evil will never win, because you, the souls of the just, are here!”

Our Lady Speaks

Vicka's Note MaryTV

Vicka, one of the visionaries in Medjugorje, wrote the note (above) after Our Lady spoke with her during an apparition in Medjugorje in April, 1999, about Mary TV’s  plan to build a television facility in Medjugorje.

Vicka wrote to Denis: “Our Lady says that the plan is good – but you need to wait a little.  Now you can get prepared little by little, until Our Lady tells when the right moment is.  You don’t need to hurry, make haste, but to be patient.”

When Our Lady said this to Vicka, the technical genius in Medjugorje that she had her eyes upon, who would begin Mary TV’s live streaming from Medjugorje, was seven years old.

Totus Tuus (Totally Yours)

Immaculate Conception, Mary my Mother, Live in me, Act in me, Speak in me and through me, Think your thoughts in my mind, Love through my heart, Give me your dispositions and feelings, Teach, lead me and guide me to Jesus, Correct, enlighten and expand my thoughts and behavior, Possess my soul, Take over my entire personality and life, replace it with Yourself, Incline me to constant adoration, Pray in me and through me, Let me live in you and keep me in this union always.

Our Lady gave this prayer 25 years before She started appearing in Medjugorje. This prayer is being answered through Our Lady’s presence in Medjugorje and through Her messages. Mother Immaculata writes: “This is Mary’s hour and She is about to crush Satan’s head. Her very being is like incandescent heat in the center of the Trinity and the manifestation of Her power is growing daily. The Immaculate Conception prayer (which is what Our Lady called the prayer she gave me for union with Her) has been used by exorcists who have told me that the devil reacts violently to it and is subdued by it. We are praying daily for the success of Mary TV!“

Our Lady Gives A Sign…

Mary_with_Sun

MARY TV was LIVE STREAMING Ivan’s May 24, 2013 apparition on Mt. Podbrdo (Apparition Hill) in Medjugorje. My wife, Cathy, was praying in front of her computer in the US, connected through the Internet, welcoming Our Lady along with everyone gathered on the mountain. She couldn’t see anything on her computer screen because it was late at night and Ivan had said, “No lights.” She found herself asking Our Lady for a sign – a little light – as a sign that MARY TV was on the right track and really serving her. Just after the apparition, when she went to give an account on Mary TV’s Facebook page, the page opened with this picture that she had never seen before, captioned: “MARY APPEARS OVER BUILDING IN MEDJUGORJE, PHOTO TAKEN BY PILGRIM.” Our Lady is standing directly over MARY TV’s studios, her feet right where we have two POV cameras STREAMING 24/7 LIVE TO THE WORLD Apparition Hill & Cross Mountain!

ASK JESUS IF HE’D LIKE YOU TO START SENDING A MONTHLY DONATION TO MARY TV.
TO CONTINUE SAILING WITH OUR LADY UPON THE DIGITAL SEA THIS BOAT NEEDS FINANCIAL HELP.

Our Lady spoke to Vicka during an apparition in Medjugorje in April, 1999, about the importance of Mary TV’s mission. At that time she told Vicka that she herself (Our Lady) would begin Mary TV! She did! But she didn’t do it alone. The generosity of her children made Mary TV a reality for her. Your generosity is needed now for it to continue!
