33 Day Consecration – Day 21

Dear Family of Mary!

33 Day Prayer of Consecration to Our Lady of the Rosary – Day 21


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

 
Today we continue examining a conversation that Sr. Lucia of Fatima had with Fr. Fuentes in 1957, Part 5:

“…Finally, devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Our Mother, consists in considering Her as the seat of mercy, of goodness and of pardon and as the sure door through which we are to enter Heaven.”  


Yesterday, at English Mass, Bishop Vincent Horan shared with us what Mary, Our Mother, is doing in Medjugorje to meet the challenges to the faith in our world today. He is spot-on, and very clear: Our Lady is maintaining a spiritual Field Hospital for her wounded children who have suffered in this terrible “war zone” of our modern world. She truly is the seat of mercy, of goodness and of pardon, and a sure door through which we are to enter Heaven!!


Homily at English Mass in Medjugorje – given by Bishop Vincent Horan:
 
Within a short time of assuming the Papacy, Pope Francis gave us an image of the Church as that of a field hospital in a war zone. Those in the front lines would be brought to the hospital with various injuries, or just for a time of recuperation. When better, they would return to the battle lines to take up their mission again.
 
In many ways, Medjugorje fits into this image of Pope Francis. We have all come here with our various ailments: physical, psychological, and spiritual. Some have come to rest with the Lord, as they feel that they are in a war zone with our modern world. Whether as priests, religious, or lay people, we often find that we seem to be losing the battle to keep the presence of Christ alive in our various societies, in the laws and customs of our countries. Like the Jewish people in exile in Babylon, we almost seem to be exiles in our world, to be cut off from the joys of our Christian faith, as we experience it here in Medjugorje during these days of pilgrimage.
 
But as we have seen in our first reading today, God did not leave His people in exile forever. The Lord roused the spirit of Cyrus to begin the work of reconstruction of the temple in Jerusalem, so that the chosen people could return to their beloved homeland, purified and humbled by their punishment for their sins and unfaithfulness.
 
With the benefit of hindsight, we can see that the 38 years since the apparitions of Our Lady began here in Medjugorje on the 24th of June 1981, more or less coincides with the most ferocious attack on the Church since the day of Pentecost. With the shocking revelations of sexual abuse by bishops, priests, religious and other Christians, the Church almost collapsed completely. For our punishment, we have been sent into exile to the margins of our societies.
 
But God has not abandoned us. As Mary was with the Apostles in the Upper Room, in the background, praying and supporting the ones chosen by her Son, so now Mary is among us now, especially here in Medjugorje, helping us to rebuild the temple of the Church on new foundations: on the foundation of humility, on the foundation of a personal commitment to Christ, Her Son.
 
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, do you have a personal relationship with Jesus and with His Mother? Have you established a personal relationship, perhaps with one of His saints? Like Padre Pio, for example, whom we are celebrating today. We can bring the peace of Medjugorje back to our homes, parishes and societies, only if we have a deeply personal and intimate relationship with Jesus.
 
Our faith is a love story. The more we give ourselves to Jesus in our various vocations, the more He gives Himself to us. With the love of Jesus in our hearts, with the peace of Our Lady, Queen of Peace in our hearts, we shall be a light to others; even when we are not intentionally wishing to be a light. That light, however, may both inspire others, or it may challenge others; as nothing can remain hidden before God’s light forever.
 
To return to the image of Medjugorje as a field hospital, I think we who come here on pilgrimage for a week or so, must take responsibility for the maintenance and work of this spiritual hospital. Obviously, Satan is not pleased with what is taking place here between the two hills. I ask that each one of us, as we return to our homes at the end of our pilgrimage, that each day we would pray for Medjugorje, for the Franciscan friars, for the sisters, for the visionaries, for the guides and helpers at the Shrine, and for all six-and-a-half thousand people who live now here in Medjugorje, that God would preserve their energies, that God through the intercession of Our Lady, would keep them zealous, and never allow them to become lukewarm, so that the treasure of Medjugorje may grow from strength to strength and become the New Jerusalem of our Christian faith, for the glory and praise of the most Holy Trinity.
(from English Mass in Medjugorje, September 23, 2019 – https://marytv.tv/english-mass-in-medjugorje/  )   


Our Lady has called us to come close to her Immaculate Heart because there she can minister to us and lead us:

August 25, 2012 “Dear children! Also today, with hope in the heart, I am praying for you and am thanking the Most High for every one of you who lives my messages with the heart. Give thanks to God’s love that I can love and lead each of you through my Immaculate Heart also toward conversion. Open your hearts and decide for holiness, and hope will give birth to joy in your hearts. Thank you for having responded to my call.”


Dearest Mother, thank you for your Immaculate Heart which is for us the Seat of Mercy, Goodness and Pardon. Through you we can find our way to God. We can be healed of all our wounds and become ready for Heaven. May the Field Hospital of Medjugorje grow stronger and stronger, as there are so many wounded children in this world. 
 
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! The sorrowful mysteries!! 

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

“Medjugorje is the spiritual center of the world!”

Pope St. John Paul II – February 24, 1990

“Dear children, my real, living presence among you should make you happy because this is the great love of my Son. He is sending me among you so that, with a motherly love, I may grant you safety!”

Our Lady of Medjugorje – July 2, 2016

“Rejoice, little children, because God is merciful and loves you all with His immeasurable love and leads you to the way of salvation through my coming here!”

Our Lady of Medjugorje – June 25, 2018

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!
