Day: November 28, 2017

(c)Mateo Ivankovic 2017 November 29, 2017 Dear Family of Mary! “Dear children! In this time of grace, I call you to prayer. Pray and seek peace, little children. He who came here on earth to give you His peace, regardless of who you are and what you are – He, my Son, your Brother – through me is calling you to conversion, because without God you do not have a future or eternal life. Therefore, believe and pray and live in grace and the expectation of your personal meeting with Him. Thank you for having responded to my call.” November 25, 2017 “And so, from the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, to lead a life worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. “He has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation; for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities — all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything he might be pre-eminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. “And you, who once were estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him, provided that you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.” (Col 1:9-22)   In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

  (c)Mateo Ivankovic 2017 November 27, 2017 November 28, 2017 Dear Family of Mary! December 25, 1998 (Jakov) “Dear children! Today, on the birthday of my Son, my heart is filled with immeasurable joy, love and peace. As your mother, I desire for each of you to feel that same joy, peace and love in the heart. That is why do not be afraid to open your heart and to completely surrender yourself to Jesus, because only in this way can He enter into your heart and fill it with love, peace and joy. I bless you with my motherly blessing.” As we approach the new Liturgical Year, we may be experiencing some inner battles. The readings at Holy Mass are all about judgement time and things that have to do with the end of our own lives and the end of our world. It can make us uneasy, and open us up for temptations to fear, anxiety, and gloominess. But Our Lady gives us the way out of these temptations. She urges us to “not be afraid to open your heart and to completely surrender yourself to Jesus.” This is the antidote to all temptations!! I read this excerpt from the writings of Lucie Christine, a French Mystic. The excerpt can be found in the USA Edition of “Magnificat” on pages 386-7. In darkness and anguish of heart. A tempest of troubles, sadness, vague uneasiness. It seems as if a storm of wicked elements were let loose on my soul. I feel myself burning with impatience, without any motive, against people whom I love the most. I want to break something. I feel displeasure, involuntary, but full of bitterness, against others, against myself, and against everything; I am even tempted against God, although this is but a passing feeling. I go on praying as usual, and I think grace prevents anyone from noticing my interior state. Even at night, I have gone through these struggles. I could not write all I have prayed and suffered interiorly during one day and night. The soul is led, as it were, to the edge of an abyss, to the gates of an intimate death, where it seems to her that her faculties will suffer shipwreck. The she offers simply to God the total abandonment of herself, renouncing everything of which he wishes her to make the sacrifice. And this abandonment establishes the soul in a peace which renders her capable of facing all her troubles. My soul made frequent acts of abandonment during these storms and ended them, this time, by the desire and resolution to do something more for God. What? She does not know; It is not in these states of mind that one can judge and decide what one will do. Even in general, when my poor soul wishes to make a plan to advance in sanctity she soon sees that she knows nothing about it. Lucie Christine “[My soul] offers simply to God the total abandonment of herself…and this abandonment establishes the soul in a peace which renders her capable of facing all her trouble.” Lucie Christine “That is why do not be afraid to open your heart and to completely surrender yourself to Jesus, because only in this way can He enter into your heart and fill it with love, peace and joy.” Our Lady! The antidote to all the ills of our day, to all the temptations we endure, to all the sorrows we face, is to totally abandon our entire selves to Jesus, over and over again. He will not abandon us. He will come to our aid and quiet the most terrible storms. And He will show us the way to become the antidote to the ills of the world, through our surrender to Him. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
