Put Jesus in the first place in your life…

Dear Family of Mary!

The Gospel for Mass today makes us all sing for joy because Jesus finally finds a scribe who gets it!! Instead of arguing with Jesus about this or that law, this scribe asks the most important question and gets the most beautiful answer from Jesus. And the scribe echoes it with joy!! Here is the Gospel:

One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?” Jesus replied, “The first is this: Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” The scribe said to him, “Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, He is One and there is no other than he. And to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” And when Jesus saw that he answered with understanding, he said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” And no one dared to ask him any more questions. (Mark 12 :28-34)

Of course we all want to be like this scribe. We want to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength!!! We want to put the Lord first in our lives. But it is not as easy as it sounds. Our Lady has been asking us to do the very same thing for the past 38 years.

Here is another little litany, this time about putting God in the first place…It will be a joy to pray these words from Our Lady, hoping that they will sink deeply into our hearts:

A Little Litany to the Lord, asking to put Him in the first place in our lives.Our Lady: I am calling you to sincere prayer with the heart so that every prayer of yours may be an encounter with God. In your work and in your everyday life, put God in the first place. I call you today with great seriousness to obey me and to do as I am calling you. (12/25/87)
Response: Mother teach me to put God in the first place in my life!

Our Lady: Dear children, put God in the first place in your families, so that He may give you peace and may protect you not only from war, but also in peace protect you from every satanic attack. When God is with you, you have everything. (12/25/91)
Response: Mother teach me to put God in the first place in my family!

Our Lady: Today I invite you that each of you begin again to love, in the first place, God who saved and redeemed each of you, and then brothers and sisters in your proximity. (11/25/95)
Response: Mother teach me to love God in the first place in my life!Our Lady: In this time when due to the spirit of consumerism one forgets what it means to love and to cherish true values, I invite you again, little children, to put God in the first place in your life. Do not let satan attract you through material things but, little children, decide for God who is freedom and love. (03/25/96)
Response: Mother teach me to decide to put God in the first place in my life!

Our Lady: Place God in the first place, then the risen Jesus will become your friend. (03/25/99)
Response: Mother teach me to put God in the first place so that Jesus will be my friend!

Our Lady: Put little newborn Jesus in the first place in your life and He will lead you on the way of salvation. (12/25/99)
Response: Mother teach me to put little newborn Jesus in the first place in my life!

Our Lady: I am with you and am teaching you little children: your peace and hope are in God. That is why draw closer to God and put Him in the first place in your life. (01/25/2001)
Response: Mother teach me to draw closer to God so he will be in the first place in my life!

Our Lady: Dear children, today, watching you with a heart full of love, I want to tell you that, what you persistently seek, what you long for, my little children, is before you. It is sufficient with a clean heart to put my Son in the first place, and then you will see. Listen to me and let me lead you on this motherly way. (10/02/2004)
Response: Mother help me to clean my heart so that I can put your Son in the first place in my life!

Our Lady: “Dear children, With motherly love I implore you, love one another. May there be in your hearts, as my Son desired from the very beginning, love for the Heavenly Father and for your neighbor in the first place – above everything of this world. (10/02/2014)
Response: Mother teach me to put God in the first place – above everything else!

Our Lady: “Dear Children! As a mother, I implore you, open your heart and offer it to me, and fear nothing. I will be with you and will teach you how to put Jesus in the first place. I will teach you to love Him and to belong to Him completely. (03/18/2002)
Response: Mother teach me to put Jesus in the first place in my life so that I will belong completely to Him!

Let us pray: Mother Mary, you are our example of complete and total love for God. You modeled such love in every moment of your life on earth, and shine with that love now in Heaven. Mother give us your Immaculate Heart, so that we can love with your love, always putting the Lord in the very center of our lives and loving Him without limit. We know you can help us. We ask for your help today! Amen!

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!
