Abandon yourselves to Jesus!

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!

“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

“Rejoice, little children, because God is merciful and loves you all with His immeasurable love and leads you to the way of salvation through my coming here!”

Our Lady of Medjugorje – June 25, 2018

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!

On Saturday, Nov. 23 Mary TV will LIVE Stream Ivan’s apparition and an Evening of Prayer for Peace, beginning at 5:00pm (EST) in St. Leonard’s Church in Boston.
There will be a special guest speaker!
Our Lady is telling us: “I need you!  Together with you I am able to fulfill my plans.”
