These days Satan is working underhandedly…

Dear Family of Mary!

January 17, 1985 “Dear children! These days satan is working underhandedly against this parish, and you, dear children, have fallen asleep in prayer, and only some are going to Mass. Withstand the days of temptation! Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Our Lady spent a lot of time teaching the visionaries and parishioners about spiritual warfare. She wanted them to know that Satan exists, and that he has a plan to destroy each one of them. They needed to be aware of his influence on their lives, and to reject him.

And so she gave them the message on January 17, 1985. She told them, and all of us now, that Satan works underhandedly. He is cunning, and knows just how to get us off track. He sows many temptations and distractions into our lives. If we are not awake and in prayer, we will be taken in by them, and find ourselves outside of God’s plan for us very quickly.

The solution? Don’t fall asleep in prayer. We must pray with all our hearts. We can’t just say the words like robots. Our prayer must be from the heart and always be a conversation with God. If we pray in this way, temptations will be seen for what they are. Likewise, we should strive to go to Holy Mass as often as is possible. When we are at Mass, we receive the Word of God, and Eucharist, two of the most nourishing things we can take in. God feeds us for the journey. Jesus comes to us as our spiritual food for life.

We have to stay awake. We have to withstand the days of temptation. Our Mother has taught us to do so with her main messages. If we listen to her, we will stand in the battle against our enemy and we will be able to help Our Lady in her plan.

Fr. Gabriel Amorth understood the battle very well. He advised people to pray very much, go to Holy Mass and Communion, rely on Confession (even weekly), fast, and to pray in prayer groups if they wanted to be free of Satanic influence. Here is something he said in his second book “An Exorcist: More Stories”:

As I mentioned in the second chapter of this book, the Gospel shows us the most difficult type of liberation: the young man over whom the apostles prayed in vain. Jesus says that to cast out a particular kind of demon three things are required: faith, prayer, and fasting. These are still the most efficacious methods. Undoubtedly, group prayer is stronger than individual prayer, as the Gospel tells us. I will never tire of repeating that we can be liberated from the demon with prayer alone, without any exorcism, but never with exorcism alone [without prayer].

I will add that, when we pray, the Lord gives us what we need, independently of our words. We do not know what we need to ask for; it is the Spirit who prays for us “with sighs too deep for words”. Therefore, the Lord gives us much more than what we ask or dare hope…Let us continue to pray; the Lord will give us what we need. (Fr. Gabriel Amorth. “An Exorcist: More Stories” P. 191-192)

With that encouragement, I want to give you two prayers for protection and liberation from the enemy that Fr. Amorth included in his book. We can converse with the Lord through these prayers. They tell us much about His desire to help us. Our Lady too!

Prayers of Liberation from the Spirit of Evil

To Our Lord Jesus

O Jesus our Savior,

My Lord and my God,

My God and my all,

With your sacrifice of the Cross you redeemed us

And defeated the power of Satan.

I beg you to deliver me from every evil presence

And every evil influence.

I ask you in your name,

I ask you for the sake of your wounds,

I ask you for the sake of your blood,

I ask you for the sake of your Cross,

I ask you through the intercession of Mary,

Immaculate and sorrowful.

May the blood and the water that flow

From your side

Wash over me to purify me,

Deliver me, heal me. Amen.

To Mary

O Most High Queen of Heaven

And of the Angels,

We humbly beseech you,

Who received from God

The power and the mission

To crush Satan’s head:

Command the heavenly host

To pursue the demons in battle wherever they are,

To rebuke their daring

And to thrust them into the abyss. Amen

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

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!
