Dear Family of Mary!

“Dear children…I am gathering you around myself. Look at me with the heart, speak to me as to a mother about your pains, sufferings and your joys. Ask me to pray to my Son for you…” (March 2, 2017)

Our Lady tells us how to relate to her in this message. She wants to gather us around her. Mothers love it when their little ones congregate around them on a rocking chair or the couch. It happens very often when she offers to read them a story. They climb up and sit on each side of her, and one or two may be on her lap or hanging over her shoulder so they can peer down at the pictures. It is a wonderful moment. Everyone is leaning up against each other, in rapt attention to the story. But the real communication is the love that is radiating between them all.

This is bonding time. Bonding is very important to children. They need to know that they are not alone, that they are loved and accepted, and that they have a network of support. The family is constructed by God to provide just such bonding. But our families are in distress, sin has broken so many of them. So bonding doesn’t always happen properly.

That is why Our Lady longs to gather us around her. She knows that we may have bonding issues in our lives. We need to bond with her and receive the motherly love we so desperately need. We can gather around Our Lady in prayer. This is how she gathers us. I think that the prayer of the Rosary provides such a family bonding time. It can happen in our families. But I experience it, even in large groups, such as the prayer outside at St. James in Medjugorje. There we are all together, gathered, sitting close, praying the mysteries together, and we are family with Mary.

So what does she do once we are gathered around her, leaning by her side, soaking in her presence? She tells us to “Look at me with the heart, speak to me as to a mother about your pains, sufferings and your joys. Ask me to pray to my Son for you…” This is the heart of prayer. To look at Mary with the eyes of our hearts. That is to look at her without disguises, to be just who we are, like children. Then we are to share everything with her, everything. Once we do, she turns around and shares it all with Jesus. It passes right through her heart to His.

This is what it is like to have a heavenly mother, one who loves us completely and wants us to be close to her, so close that we can hear each other breathe!

Thank you, dearest Mother, for gathering us around you! Thank you for being our Mother.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

“Medjugorje is the spiritual center of the world!”

Pope St. John Paul II – February 24, 1990

“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!
