Dear Family of Mary!

We are in the last two weeks of this Liturgical Year – 2019. The readings we are hearing at Mass deal with the last things, with death, judgement and eternity. This makes us grow increasingly aware of our own future. We all have a future. But what that future will be depends on how radically we have chosen to follow Jesus.

I hope to use these last two weeks as a time to reflect on what Our Lady has said to us about our own personal futures. She is not shy to talk about this reality. Maybe, with her help, we can reflect on this most important aspect of our lives.

In 1986, she said to us:

November 27, 1986 “Dear children! Again today I call you to consecrate your life to me with love, so I am able to guide you with love. I love you, dear children, with a special love and I desire to bring you all to Heaven unto God. I want you to realize that this life lasts briefly compared to the one in Heaven. Therefore, dear children, decide again today for God. Only that way will I be able to show how much you are dear to me and how much I desire all to be saved and to be with me in Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

“Dear children! Again today I call you to consecrate your life to me with love, so I am able to guide you with love…”

Our Lady begins this message by calling us to consecrate ourselves, our entire lives, all of our selves, to her. She wants to be able to guide us, with love. But she can’t do it without our consecration to her. It is easy to overlook this call to consecration. Most of us have done some kind of consecration to Mary in our past. But we may be forgetting it in our day to day lives. 

We want to know what she has to say about Heaven. But we won’t get very far on our own steam with our own ideas. We have to surrender to Mary every day and let her lead us towards Heaven and unity with God. We have to make our consecration every day!!

So before we go any further, let’s pray this short consecration to Our Lady. Say it with simplicity and trust. It will prepare us to hear the rest of the message:

Act of Consecration to Mary
O my Queen, O my Mother, I love you and give myself to you. I give to you this day my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole self. Since I am yours, keep me and guard me as your child forever. Amen.

I think if we memorize this little consecration and pray it often throughout the day, we will begin to experience the power of living under Mary’s guidance.

“I love you, dear children, with a special love and I desire to bring you all to Heaven unto God…”

Once we have given ourselves to Our Lady, she will show us her special love. That love brings us to Heaven unto God! The fruit of our consecration to Mary will be an infilling of her love, which will change us. Her love will teach us what love really is, and we will begin to love as well. That love will help us to draw closer to the reality of Heaven.

“I want you to realize that this life lasts briefly compared to the one in Heaven…”

As we grow in Our Mother’s school of love, we will begin to have her eternal perspective on our lives. We will begin to comprehend Heaven in all its glory, and what the word “forever” really means. We will be able to see our earthly lives in comparison to the “forever life” of Heaven, and we will loosen our tight grip on the present. In comparison to “forever” what are a few years on earth?

“Therefore, dear children, decide again today for God. Only that way will I be able to show how much you are dear to me and how much I desire all to be saved and to be with me in Heaven…”

The bottom line is that if we are living our lives in consecration to Our Lady, and we begin to see our lives on earth as only a short preparation for eternity, we will be ready each day to decide for God! We will want to live for God, because our Mother lives for God, and we want to follow her lead. Her desire for our salvation will be an impetus for our own change of heart. We will want what she wants. And she wants us to become holy and live with her in God. Once we have done that, we will fall in love with God ourselves, and that is of course, Heaven. We want to be with God in Heaven forever!!

So today, let’s consecrate ourselves to Mary, and see what happens. If we do it every day we will really see what happens!

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!
