January 11, 2023 Reflection – Witness!!
Franjo Zubac has been witness to Jesus and Mary since the beginning of the apparitions! We are all called to witness!! January 11, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8, RSV-CE) As I prayed about what to share today, I just heard the word, “witness”! I looked in Our Lady’s messages and discovered that she has mentioned witnessing at least 141 times. Jesus told his disciples that they would be His witnesses “to the end of the earth!” Our Lady realizes that the only way to help others to meet Jesus is for us to witness to them all that Jesus has done for us! We have received the love and forgiveness of Jesus, and so we must share it with others who need it just like we do. Who else will tell them? Here is a beautiful message from Our Lady about witnessing: September 25, 2011 “Dear children! I call you, for this time to be for all of you, a time of witnessing. You, who live in the love of God and have experienced His gifts, witness them with your words and life that they may be for the joy and encouragement to others in faith. I am with you and incessantly intercede before God for all of you that your faith may always be alive and joyful, and in the love of God. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Jesus called his disciples to witness to everyone, even to the ends of the earth! He needs us to do the same in our day. He has sent Our Lady to draw us close to Him, and we have received so much grace!! Now it is time for us to witness as the early disciples did. Let’s shout it to the roof tops! Jesus and Mary are with us, loving us, healing us, guiding us, and blessing us!! Mary TV has been able to film over 500 testimonies which we have compiled in the “Fruit of Medjugorje” archive on the Mary TV website. Just sharing these testimonies with others is one good way to witness! They can be viewed at this link: https://marytv.tv/fruit-of-medjugorje/ “You, who live in the love of God and have experienced His gifts, witness them with your words and life that they may be for the joy and encouragement to others in faith.” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
