Give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you!

Dear Family of Mary!

Luke 11:37-41

After Jesus had spoken, a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home. He entered and reclined at table to eat. The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal. The Lord said to him, “Oh, you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil. You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside? But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you.”

“But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you.”

Jesus was really abashed at this Pharisee, and how thick headed he was.  He just didn’t get Jesus.   He was so picky and stubborn and self-centered!!  But He gave him a very simple remedy.  “Give alms, and behold everything will be clean for you!”

Giving alms is a remedy for so much that is disordered within us.  Why?  I think it is because the act of serving and sharing with others who are poor can penetrate our hearts as nothing else can.

Last week I was blessed to go to the movie, “No Greater Love” which is a tribute to Mother Teresa of Calcutta – ( https://www.motherteresamovie.com/ ) – It was so moving, I could hardly take it all in.  I highly recommend it!!  Mother Teresa made her entire life a gift of alms for the poor.  She gave everything.  And for her everything was clean!!!  Her soul was a bright and shiny as the sun!!

Our Lady knows about having souls that shine.  In this very long message she gives us very good advice about how to become good.  Of course the poor are included in her list.  In fact so many of the things Our Lady calls us to do are exemplified in Mother Teresa.  She prayed the Rosary. none-stop!  She And she offered her entire life to Jesus, through Mary, by serving the poor.  May Our Lady teach us our road to holiness so that one day we will shine like the sun!!

“Dear children,

I turn to you as your mother,
the mother of the just,
the mother of those who love and suffer,
the mother of those who are holy.

My children,
you too can be holy –
this depends on you.

Those who are holy are
those who immeasurably love the Heavenly Father,
those who love Him above all.

Therefore, my children,
always strive to be better.

If you strive to be good
you can be holy
even though you may not think so of yourselves.

If you think that you are good,
you are not humble,
and arrogance distances you from holiness.

In this peaceless world full of threats,
your hands, apostles of my love,
should be extended in prayer and mercy.

And to me, my children,
give the gift of the rosary,
the roses which I love so much.

My roses are your prayers pronounced with the heart
and not only recited with the lips.

My roses are your acts of prayer, faith and love.

When my Son was little,
he said to me that my children would be numerous
and that they would bring me many roses.

I did not comprehend Him.

Now I know that you are those children
who are bringing me roses
when, above all, you love my Son,
when you pray with the heart,
when you help the poorest.

Those are my roses.

That is the faith which makes everything in life
be done through love,
not knowing arrogance,
and always ready to forgive;
never judging,
always striving to understand one’s brother.

Therefore, apostles of my love,
pray for those who do not know how to love,
for those who do not love you,
for those who have done evil to you,
for those who have not come to know the love of my Son.

My children,
I ask this of you because,
remember,
to pray means to love and to forgive.

Thank you.”

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

“My Son promised me that evil will never win, because you, the souls of the just, are here!”

Our Lady of Medjugorje – November 2, 2014

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!
