The Victory of My Immaculate Heart July 15, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! I want to share with you a few thoughts I shared at the end of the Rosary for Sunday, July 14, 2024. We are all wondering about the events of this weekend. In the USA, we have had an assassination attempt on one of our Presidential candidates. Innocent people were killed or injured in the attempt. It has left our nation in an uproar. My thoughts have to do with Our Lady and her presence in Medjugorje, and her relationship to these events. Here is what I said: We are in this Marian time…it just is…John Paul II said it was, I think. It is just clear from Fatima onwards that something was up! God was doing something, in the midst of chaos – with two World Wars, in the midst of several other wars that have continued on – governments sliding into totalitarianism! It is as if the world is this giant mountain that is just crumbling! It is hard to watch. It is sad. Especially when you think of the amount of carnage… all those aborted children. We could stop right there. It is the worst thing ever. So we do live in a very difficult time. A very, very difficult time for humanity. It is also unparalleled. You know, we have all these kinds of media…the different ways we can communicate through the internet, which changes the whole social structure of things. It gives us information we don’t want, and gives our information out that we don’t want to give. I just had an experience of someone who was hacked, and the perpetrator was sending out cries for help, in the name of my friend. Asking for money…There are so many faceless perpetrators whose identity you won’t ever know. It is a very difficult time. And in this difficult time, Our Lady came…in 1981. And she said that she came as the Queen of Peace. And she came to 6 very lovely but young Croatian children. And those children have been so strong. Their whole lives have been spent serving Our Lady, truly! Just being the six witnesses to her presence. And that is enough, because we have no idea how much their lives are intruded on because of their witness. And they have been very generous, all six of them. So we have all lived in this time when Our Lady has been with us on a daily basis, which is unheard of. Most of the previous visionaries had apparitions once a month, or for a few days. The daily apparitions in Medjugorje were criticized as being too much. They said that Our Lady would not come every day like that. But she has! Now I think we see why… because of the enormity of the problems in our time. We need her every day, and she wants to be with us every day. So here is her message from 2000: August 25, 2000 “Dear children! I desire to share my joy with you.” Joy! She always brings her heavenly joy to us! “In my Immaculate Heart I feel that there are many of those who have drawn closer to me and are, in a special way, carrying the victory of my Immaculate Heart in their hearts by praying and converting.” What does this mean? The victory of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart. The victory of her pure, spotless, Immaculate Heart. What does this mean? Her response to God was perfect. Always perfect! And this perfect response was how God could give us His Son. His Son, Her Son would be Man and God, which was unheard of. Outrageous almost! This idea that God had!! That He would have His Son become Man for ever!! It wasn’t so that He could just move around on earth for a little while, it was forever! He is always Man and God in Heaven!! And this changed everything for us! It changed our whole trajectory. Jesus opened the way for all of us to go to Heaven, to be with Him and with the Father, in our bodies, all of us! And this is what He wanted to give us. But do you think we have been able to accept it? No, there has been a giant fight ever since. Between those who accept the Lord’s gift of His love, His life, His salvation, and those who hate it! And the fight has been horrible and it continues. And I feel that these days are the climax of it all. So she needs us to carry that victory. That victory comes through each one of us. We win by staying faithful to God and sharing that faithfulness with others. We win with her!! We will win. That is the victory! “I desire to thank you and to inspire you to work even more for God and His kingdom with love and the power of the Holy Spirit.” Ok, we win. But how do we do it? Through the power of the Holy Spirit. And why? Because the Holy Spirit can work through us. I see that my son, Michael, has chosen that path. Everywhere he goes he is ready to pray with someone. He is constantly in prayer, receiving from the Holy Spirit. And miracles happen all around him. He is getting worn out. He really is. But he is standing firm and going forward. It has been at a great cost for his family and his wife. But he doesn’t stop, and does what the Holy Spirit asks. We all need to work even more by the power of the Holy Spirit, for God. Each one of us has something to do. That is what God is calling us to now. Even more now that things are heating ups. And they are really heating up! Don’t take your eyes off the prize. Don’t take your eyes off of Our Lady! “I am with you and I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Let’s take that blessing and walk into the world, as witnesses of Jesus Christ. In what ever way we can do it, in what ever way we are called to do it. We must do it! Thank you for helping us at Mary TV to be a little channel for her! Pray for us, we are trying our best. We do need your help! And we love having you with us in prayer. Thank you!
