Dear Family of Mary!
In this time of suffering and social upheaval, we need to keep our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus! We need to focus on what God is doing, not on what humans are doing. This is a time of grace!!
Our Lady said to us:
“Little children, believe, pray and love, and God will be near you. He will give you the gift of all the graces you seek from Him. I am a gift to you, because, from day to day, God permits me to be with you and to love each of you with immeasurable love. Therefore, little children, in prayer and humility, open your hearts and be witnesses of my presence. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (10/25/2005)
Our Lady’s simple words are powerful! She is with us because God permits her to be with us. She is a gift from the Father for these days.
I received a beautiful witness from one of our shipmates that I think will be a blessing for us all. This account of unexpected graces through Our Lady will strengthen all of us for the days ahead!
Ginna wrote to us:
Today (February 1, 2021) I talked to an attorney I had employed in the 1980’s in a city in which I lived. We hadn’t talked for 25 years!
When I went to Medjugorje in 1987 I thought I remembered that this attorney had told me that she prayed the Rosary at night. So when I got home, I brought over a bunch of Wayne Weible newspapers and a blessed medal and put it all in her mailbox! I wrote a note and told her I had been in Medjugorje and that I prayed for her.
I didn’t know until today when we talked, that on the day I dropped off those Medjugorje materials my friend had been planning to kill herself. When she saw the Medjugorje materials in her mailbox, something happened in her heart. The next day she started fasting and called a priest and went to confession for the first time in 30 years. She said her life changed that day and she felt she was saved from hell.
When we talked today, I told her that I thought she had told me 1981 that she prayed the Rosary at night. That is why I shared about Medjugorje with her when I returned from my first trip. Then she told me, “Ginna, all I did was hold the Rosary. I didn’t know how to pray it!” When I dropped off the Medjugorje materials she said she began to really pray it instead of holding it.
We went to Medjugorje together in August 1987. She told me today that that trip changed her life even more! We reminisced about our pilgrimage quite a bit and it was such a blessing.
“Ponder what you have received!!” Next pilgrimage we make together will be to heaven! What a joy to share what Our Lady has done for both of us in the 34 years since! It just gives me such joy to think of how Our Lady has changed so many lives.
Hoping you are both recovering and that this story brings you joy! – Ginna!
Wow! All I can say is WOW! God’s timing is perfect! And Our Lady’s presence is indeed a life saving grace!! Be encouraged, everyone!! We have a job to do in these days. It is the job of being witnesses of Our Lady’s presence!
“Little children, believe, pray and love, and God will be near you. He will give you the gift of all the graces you seek from Him. I am a gift to you, because, from day to day, God permits me to be with you and to love each of you with immeasurable love. Therefore, little children, in prayer and humility, open your hearts and be witnesses of my presence. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (10/25/2005)
In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!
