A New Life!

(c)Anthony Zubac

Dear Family of Mary!

“Dear children! You have a great grace of being called to a new life through the messages which I am giving you…” (October 25, 2018)

I feel like we cannot afford to ignore this latest message. Even in the first line there is an urgency. We need to understand that right now, in this time, we are being offered a “great grace.” The grace is being offered to us by God, through Our Lady, present with us in Medjugorje. The grace is for something extraordinary. We are being offered a new life.

What is a new life? What does it mean to live a new life? It must mean first of all that we have an old life. We have a life that has developed over time in this world. And it may not be worth hanging on to, or God would not offer us a new life! That old life may feel comfortable, but is it really? We are used to it. We are used to living with habitual sins, dark memories, broken relationships, boredom, lost hope, and on and on. Our old lives are most likely built on a compromise between what is holy and what is not. And we are stuck in the middle. Our hearts may be divided or broken or just numb. That is the old life. It is just old.

But the new life we are being offered is a life with God. It is a life centered on God, lived with God, filled by God and made beautiful by God. It is a life that shines with light!

St. Paul said it this way:

For the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore, all have died. And he died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a human point of view, we regard him thus no longer.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. So we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Cor 5: 14-21)

In Christ, we become new creations! We live a new life, free from the old, by Christ’s redemption. This is the new life we are being offered by Our Lady. Her messages lead us to her Son, and through Him we become new creations with new lives. No more inner division, no more confusion, no more doubt and faithlessness. We become lovers of God, new creatures in His Kingdom.

So this new life we are being offered is something to desire. It is a gift to be accepted with open hearts. But how do we receive this gift? By living Our Lady’s messages. By living the 5 stones, and all the other beautiful things she has called us to live. It is a new life we are being offered. While we are in Medjugorje, it may seem that the new life is very simple, very possible. That is because of Our Lady’s presence. It is a bit of heaven there.

But when we get home, and all the old constructs of our lives appear, we have to begin to embrace the new life by leaving the old one. Little by little, we begin to pray more, talk less, love more, think of ourselves less, adore Jesus more, pay less attention to the world. Little by little the new life grows in us, through grace. It will make us so happy!!!

As St. Paul said: “We beseech you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.”

This is the new life!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

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!
