Dear Family of Mary!

“As a mother I am calling you: love my Son above everything.”   (November 2, 2016)

Here is the homily for English Mass in Medjugorje for November 8, 2016. What wonderful words of wisdom! You may enjoy hearing it rather than reading it. Here is the link to the English Homily in Medjugorje Archive, https://marytv.tv/?page_id=192

The November 8, 2016 English Mass Homily in Medjugorje:

I wonder if we have ever reflected on exactly why we have come to Medjugorje. Out of interest? Maybe. But I suspect that it is something deeper, although we might not be able to articulate it.

All of us have a deep need. At the center of each one of us is a profound loneliness. A loneliness that only God can fill.

Right from the start Our Lady has been appearing to the visionaries for one purpose: to draw us to her Son, Jesus.

As she has so frequently told the visionaries, “My coming to you is not as important as Jesus coming to you in the Eucharist, in Communion.” I think we should often reflect on that. Our Lady has not come to give us some intellectual enlightenment, but to draw us to a person, Jesus Christ, God made Man for us.

I suspect we have never really reflected enough on the mystery of the Incarnation. God made Man for us. Jesus lives among us to be with us, to save us, to forgive our sins, to heal us, to redeem us. Now, not in the future, but now, at this moment.

If we feel our inadequacy, our incompetence, our emptiness, our sinfulness… and we do, otherwise we wouldn’t have come here…let us rejoice!! Because that is why He came: to forgive our sins, to transform us, to fill us, to love us, unconditionally, just as we are.

God does not love us because we are good. God loves us because God loves us. All he asks of us is an open heart. Not a hard, confident heart, a heart of stone, that seeks self-fulfillment, self-adequacy. But a heart of flesh, a soft, wobbly heart, one that can suffer, can be hurt, can be dry, but capable of loving and being loved.

Prayer opens us up to that love.

St. Augustine describes prayer as “cor ad cor loquitor”, that is “heart speaks to heart”. The honest exposure of the heart.

I often quote the famous statement of St. Cyprian, martyred in the 3rd Century. He says, “God does not listen to the voice, but to the heart.”

So Jesus says to each one of us, “At each moment of the day, come. Do not be afraid, it is I. I am with you. I am with you in your suffering. I am with you in your dryness. I am with you in your inadequacy, in your incompetence, in your sinfulness, but just with you.”

We reply, “Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul with be healed.” No we say that before Communion, but we should say that frequently during the day. Every day. And then we will have a peace, because our security is not in ourselves, but in Him who loves us.

In these very difficult days, Jesus alone is our security. He is our only hope!

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!
