Dear children, this is a time of grace and prayer…

Dear Family of Mary!

“Dear children! This is a time of grace and prayer, a time of waiting and giving. God is giving Himself to you that we may love Him above everything. Therefore, little children, open your hearts and families, so that this waiting may become prayer and love and, especially, giving. I am with you, little children, and encourage you not to give up from what is good, because the fruits are seen and heard of afar. That is why the enemy is angry and uses everything to lead you away from prayer. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (November 25, 2018)

Whenever I think about Advent, I get double vision. It is hard to focus with double vision. What I mean is that in Advent we celebrate two realities. Those realities are both about “comings”. The first part of Advent we hear Jesus in the Gospels proclaiming the truth about Himself and preparing His people to be ready for His coming in Glory. It is a looking for the Second Coming of Christ, as King and Judge. We have been pondering this reality during November, and it continues in Advent.

The other “coming” is of course the Incarnation and Birth of Jesus! Man and God, Jesus’ first coming is remembered as we look forward to Christmas. We learn each Advent that all of history was waiting for this coming of the Messiah. And we also learn that Jesus’ coming as our Savior involved conflict from start to finish. For Jesus was entering a war zone.

So Advent is not as comfortable and joyous as we might think. The Coming of Jesus, both times, is a coming that tests the hearts of men! We remember the coming of Jesus the first time with thanksgiving and wonder, hoping that we will make room for Him in our hearts every moment, and we await the coming of Jesus as Judge and King at the end of time, praying that we will be ready for His return.

And that is why I think Our Lady’s message is all about Advent. She tells us: “This is a time of grace and prayer, a time of waiting and giving.” This time, right now, as we enter Advent, is a time of grace and prayer. God gives us grace through His Church, and Advent is a special time of grace for us. It is a powerful moment when we take in the great history of salvation, and ponder it anew! And Advent is a time of prayer, a time when we set aside extra time to be with Jesus and Mary, living with them the memory of Jesus’ birth, a memory that Our Lady is well equipped to transmit to us.

So prayer and grace. These are the constant gifts we receive from God. But waiting and giving? Well Advent comes from the Latin – “adventus” which means “coming”. How do we relate to a “coming”? We wait. We wait with hope, or with fear, or with joy, or with anxiety. We wait. And how we wait, especially how we wait for Jesus, tells us a great deal about our own hearts. Are they clean? Are they divided or whole? Are they given to God or kept for ourselves? Waiting for Jesus in both of His comings can be quite a process. A personal process.

Enough for now. We will see about the giving tomorrow.

I am excited that Our Lady is going to travel with us through this Advent. She can teach us how to wait with her pure and perfect heart. She can show us how to wait through giving!

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!
