Dear Family of Mary!

“Dear children! This is a time of grace. I am with you and anew am calling you, little children: return to God and to prayer until prayer will be a joy for you. Little children, you do not have a future or peace until your life begins with a personal conversion and a change to the good. Evil will cease and peace will begin to reign in your hearts and in the world. Therefore, little children, pray, pray, pray. I am with you and intercede before my Son Jesus for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”  (August 25, 2020)

It is significant that Our Lady again told us “This is a time of grace.”  Everything she says has great meaning.  Not one word is wasted.  But it is most important that she tells us that “This is a time of grace.”  Why?  Because it means much more than a vague promise of some graces made available to us in this time.  She is announcing something incredible.  (Franjo explained this very well in his Jesus Rosary for August 26, 2020.  I quoted him in my reflection for August 27, 2020 as well.)

Let me explain, using the words of one of our shipmates.  During the Daily Rosary, Denis and I had talked about the greeting that The Archangel Gabriel said to Mary when he appeared to her for the Annunciation.  He said to her: “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!” (Lk 1:28).  The Greek word used for that greeting is “kekaritomene”.  It is a word only used once in all of history, the word that describes Mary in Luke’s Gospel.  Only once was this word used in all of history because only one woman could be described by this word.  Here is what our shipmate said:

“This mystery defines the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. When the Archangel Gabriel came to Our Lady, he called Her, ‘Kekaritomene’ which translated means “having been full of grace”. Our Lady’s name in heaven is “She who was always full of grace”. Grace is the unmerited favor of God.”

Our Lady is the woman who was, is and always will be “full of grace!  She alone is the Immaculate One.  And this is by the unmerited favor of God, who chose her from the beginning of time to be the Mother of His Son, Jesus, who would save us from our sin.

And our shipmate continues:

“At Medjugorje She calls this time a “time of grace” which is Her direct way of saying ‘the Time of Mary’. This too is also a time of unmerited favor from God by giving us Her presence at Medjugorje.  St Louis de Montfort tells us to be filled with the Spirit of Mary so as to “rejoice in God”.  There is no surer way to please God!”

Our Lady is with us and that is why this is a time of grace.  It is her grace-filled presence through which God pours out graces upon us.  And we have experienced this grace in Medjugorje in so many ways.  Healings, joy, conversion, deepening of prayer, spiritual gifts and blessings, and on and on.  The Time of Grace is Mary’s Time.  And we are in it!!

Let’s keep our eyes on Mary, our Mother, during this “time of grace”, the time of her presence with us in Medjugorje!  She will guide us through these difficult waters to the time of peace she waits so impatiently for!

Thank you, dearest Mother, for being with us in Medjugorje!

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!
