Dear Family of Mary!

33 Day Prayer of Consecration to Our Lady of the Rosary – Day 32


In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit!
Receive our Consecration Prayer, O dearest Mother Mary!

Today is the Feast Day of two of my favorite holy ones, St. Faustina Kowalska and Blessed Bartolo Longo! They both died on October 5! St. Faustina was given the gargantuan task of presenting the Devotion to the Divine Mercy to the world. We know how much she suffered in doing so. But today the Feast of Mercy is officially celebrated on the Sunday after Easter throughout the entire Church! So many souls are aided by this feast!

And Blessed Bartolo Longo had his own great work, the spreading of the prayer of the Holy Rosary throughout Italy and into the world as well. He was given the task of building a Shrine to Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompei, to which many millions of pilgrims flock each year. Bartolo Longo had fallen into Satanism as a young man, but it was the Rosary of Our Lady that drew him out of hell and back into the arms of Mother Church. His one desire was to spread this devotion to the Rosary for other poor souls in need of salvation.

That is why I think this is a very special day!! I want to quote Blessed Bartolo as he speaks about the power of the Rosary, at the end of our 33 Day Consecration. Tomorrow is our last day of prayer before we arrive at the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, Our Lady of Victory!!

Bartolo Longo has said:

“Like two friends who, seeing each other very often, are used to conform also as to their habits; in the same manner, talking closely and in a friendly way with Jesus Christ and the Virgin, while meditating on the Mysteries of the Rosary, and forming together one only life with Communion, we can become similar to them, as far as our lowness is capable to, and to learn from these supreme models, the humble, poor, hidden, patient and perfect way of living.”

“If we want that the Rosary would become a means of sanctification in our heart, we must identify with the sentiments of the Heart of Jesus and the Heart of Mary, we must identify with their sufferings; we must draw practical teachings, and reflect their virtues in our life.”

“Life’s teaching is a teaching full of sweetness and love; so, man, under Mary’s glance almost without realizing it, finds himself educated to be able to gain his second life, which is true life, because it is not destined to last a few years, but an endless eternity.” – “Come to me, my sons, and listen to me, Mary says. Come to my School, to my Rosary School and I will teach you the holy love and the short and safe way to gain heaven.” (Pasquale Mocerino. “The Blessed Bartolo Longo” P. 57)

Doesn’t Bartolo Longo sound like Fr. Shamon? They both understand that the Rosary is a way of communing with Jesus and Mary and letting them lead us in meditating on the mysteries in such a way that the Holy Spirit can fill us and guide us. We learn through our feet, so to speak. It is being with Jesus and Mary that changes us, and during the prayer of the Rosary we can be with them in a powerful and special way.

I know this conclusion to our consecration seems possibly a bit mundane. It is rather small and humble. But that is also what makes the Rosary so effective. It is humble! That is why Satan hates it. The Rosary helps us stay small and completely docile to Jesus and Mary. That littleness is our greatest protection and strength!! Hurray for the Rosary!!

Tomorrow is our last day of prayer, day 33!!

Supplication to the Queen of the Holy Rosary:

“O Blessed Rosary of Mary, sweet chain which unites us to God, bond of love which unites us to the angels, tower of salvation against the assaults of Hell, safe port in our universal shipwreck, we will never abandon you. You will be our comfort in the hour of death: yours our final kiss as life ebbs away. And the last word from our lips will be your sweet name, O Queen of the Rosary of Pompei, O dearest Mother, O Refuge of Sinners, O Sovereign Consoler of the Afflicted. May you be everywhere blessed, today and always, on earth and in heaven”. (Blessed Bartolo Longo)

We commit ourselves to praying the Rosary for your intentions, dearest Mary, our Mother, as You enter this final battle with Satan, for the sake of souls. We will take up the Rosary as an obligation that we will fulfill with great joy! Together we will pray for Your Triumph over Satan, and for the coming of a New Time of Peace which has been given to us through You, Oh Clement, O Loving, O Sweet Virgin Mary!! Amen

Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit! As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

Now we pray our Rosary for today! Joyful Mysteries!! 

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Our Lady of Medjugorje – July 2, 2016

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!
