Two minds!

Dear Family of Mary!

“Dear children! The love and goodness of the Heavenly Father give revelations which make faith grow, for it to be interpreted, that it may bring peace, certainty and hope. In this way, I, too, my children-through the merciful love of the Heavenly Father-always, anew, am showing you the way to my Son, to eternal salvation. But, unfortunately, many of my children do not want to hear me; many of my children are of two minds. And I-I always, in time and beyond time, magnified the Lord for all that He has done in me and through me…”

(February 2, 2019)

God is always reaching out to us, offering us revelations of His love. The Father’s heart is full. His heart burns for us. And so, He send us “messages” of His love. Those messages come in many forms. We see a beautiful sunset. It is His light from the sun playing a beautiful game in our atmosphere, trying to get our attention. Trying to let us know He is with us. In the midst of a snow storm the world is transformed into whiteness, soft and swirling all around us, dazzling our eyes and wrapping us in coldness. God’s power can leave us breathless! Nature is full of the revelations of the Father if we are awake enough to notice them.

The Father wants to reveal Himself to us.

Our Lady also is trying to reveal her love to us. She has been sent by the Father to lead us to Jesus, the final and most incredible revelation of the Father. Our Lady’s love desires that we all be saved. It is a powerful love of a powerful Mother. But alas, many of us don’t seem to even see her. Many of us don’t see the Father either. Why? Because many of us have two minds.

What does it mean to have two minds?

Merriam-Webster says this:

Double minded: wavering in mind:undecided, vacillating; “a double-minded man unstable in all his ways” – James 1:8 (Revised Standard Version)

Of two minds: not decided or certain about something: having two opinions or ideas about something. I can’t make up my mind where to take my vacation: I’m of two minds about where to go.I’m of two minds about (hiring) him: he seems well-qualified, but he doesn’t have much experience.

Clearly having two minds means that we can’t make a choice, we ride the fence – leaning this way and that. It shows a lack of faith, and lack of commitment, a shallow disposition. Many people have just such a disposition to the faith. They just don’t have the courage or maturity to make a stand and trust in the Lord. And so, they waver and fall away.

Let’s read the whole section of the Letter of James, chapter 1, that was cited in the definition of double-minded above:

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greeting. Count it all joy, my brethren, when you meet various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all men generously and without reproaching, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways, will receive anything from the Lord. (James 1: 1-8)

I would guess that it is when we are tested that we are tempted to become double-minded. We begin to have a debate in our heart. Do I trust the Lord, do I stand with what I believe He is asking of me, or is this suffering too much? Should I run away? Is God with me or not? On and on it goes. When we are like this, Our Lady can’t help us. We just stop cooperating much to easily!

And such a mind cannot receive any of the revelations of the Father either! They are impervious to them because of their distracted-ness and doubt.

Well, enough said. Tomorrow we will look at Our Lady’s remedy for double mindedness!

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!
