Love changes everything…

Dear Family of Mary!

“Love changes everything; it makes most beautiful also that which, without love, seems insignificant to you.That is why, anew, I am saying to you that you must love a lot if you desire to grow spiritually…” (September 2, 2018)

“Love changes everything…” I think that when we love, it is like putting on special glasses. Through these special glasses we can see everything differently. We see the gifts that are pouring out upon us, gifts of love, of kindness, peace, support, hope, beauty, and on and on. Love changes the way we see everything.

Now think of God. He has told us that He is love itself. How do we recognize this? Here is a quote from Mother Teresa of Calcutta. She could see God’s love everywhere:

“God made the world for the delight of human beings– if we could see His goodness everywhere, His concern for us, His awareness of our needs: the phone call we’ve waited for, the ride we are offered, the letter in the mail, just the little things He does for us throughout the day. As we remember and notice His love for us, we just begin to fall in love with Him because He is so busy with us — you just can’t resist Him. I believe there’s no such thing as luck in life, it’s God’s love, it’s His.” Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa had eyes that recognized love. She could spot it a mile away. God’s love was evident to her in even the smallest things. The sunrise, a moment of silence, a kind gesture from a family member, a hug when it is not expected. These are all gifts from God. (She must have had those special glasses!)

As Our Lady told us: Love changes everything; it makes most beautiful also that which, without love, seems insignificant to you.” Those little signs of love are all around us, but without love in our hearts, we won’t see them. They will be insignificant. Love changes the way we see everything. When we have love, when we love others, love ourselves and love most of all, God, then we see love everywhere. We begin to see that God is pouring out His love on us. Nothing is insignificant when we love and know that we are loved.

I often experience little acts of love from my grandchildren. Many of them are very little. But I receive so much love from them. A hug. A smile. An invitation to go with them on a walk, or to read a book. A call for help, which is a big honor to receive from a little one. All these things would be insignificant to a stranger. But to Grandma, they are much more than a million dollars. They are little windows into heaven.

So, as Our Lady says, love changes everything. And God is very busy loving us, though we may not notice most of the time. Mother Teresa is right, He is very busy with us, loving us non-stop. If only we could love enough to see Him doing it!

“That is why, anew, I am saying to you that you must love a lot if you desire to grow spiritually!” The more we practice love, the better we will be at recognizing it all around us!

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

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!
