Immaculate Heart of Mary

Mary, our Mother!

SS Cyril and Methodius

Dear Family of Mary!

June 25, 2013“Dear children! With joy in the heart I love you all and call you to draw closer to my Immaculate Heart so I can draw you still closer to my Son Jesus, and that He can give you His peace and love, which are nourishment for each one of you. Open yourselves, little children, to prayer – open yourselves to my love. I am your mother and cannot leave you alone in wandering and sin. You are called, little children, to be my children, my beloved children, so I can present you all to my Son. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Our Lady is our Mother! She is truly our Mother. And as our Mother, she calls to us through her presence in Medjugorje. Her call is life-giving, because she draws us to the source of life, her Son. We have no idea how powerful Mary’s love for us is! As she said in the June 25, 2013 message: “You are called, little children, to be my children, my beloved children, so I can present you all to my Son.”

I found this wonderful description of Our Lady’s motherly role in our salvation in the Magnificat for February, and I just can’t help but share it with you. Fr. Philipon captures the incredible reality of Mary’s motherhood for each one of us. Please read this excerpt with as much attention as you can. It will fill you with such great faith and hope:

Christ acts in his Church as priest and king. Through the offering of the holy sacrifice of the Mass, of which he is the principal priest, and through the sanctification of souls, Christ exercises his eternal priesthood in a manner that is always present and efficacious. Through his visible representatives, authorized by him, the Word Incarnate himself continues to offer the sacrifice of his Church and to administer the sacraments. It is Christ himself who baptizes, gives absolution, ordains his priests, joins his faithful in marriage, and who at the end of their life prepares them through extreme unction to pass from this life to his Father’s house in heaven.

In the communicating of grace, as everywhere else, Mary and Jesus work together. Here, as always, it is in her capacity as mother that Mary is associated with this action of her Son that reaches to the inmost being of the soul. Doubtless, her role in this respect is not priestly or sacramental, but one in keeping with her office as mother. Every mother, it should be noted, brings forth life. In fact, God in his eternal plan bestowed on Mary the office of a twofold motherhood. By her divine motherhood she brought forth God in the flesh; by her spiritual motherhood she gives birth every day to the life of God in the souls of men and women.

At the foot of the cross Mary gave us spiritual birth, having conceived us spiritually by her fiat at the Incarnation. Now in heaven she puts forth every effort to lift us up to God and to form Christ in every one of us. This mother seeks to promote only what is eternal and divine. It is not the ephemeral life of earth that she imparts, but the life that is eternal. Needless to say it is not she who baptizes, confirms, and administers the sacraments. Nevertheless it is she who brings us the life of the Blessed Trinity. To repeat, Mary like every mother is a giver of life. She works with her Son in bringing sanctifying grace to all the children of God: he as the head of the Mystical Body and as priest and mediator; she as mother, all-powerful in action, unceasingly moved and guided by the three divine Persons of the Blessed Trinity. God the Father chose her as the mother of all his adopted children; the Son Incarnate made her a partner in his entire work of redemption; and in the sanctification of souls the Holy Spirit employs her as an instrument of predilection. Accordingly, we can say in all truth that nothing comes about in the supernatural order without the mediatory action of Mary.
(From The Mother of God,by Fr. Philipon, Trans. by Rev. John A. Otto (1953)- Magnificat, February 2022, p. 163-64)

Isn’t this description of Our Lady exactly what we experience in Medjugorje!!! Our Lady truly is constantly trying “to lift us up to God and to form Christ in every one of us!” She promotes only what is eternal and divine in her messages! And she calls us to her Son, and gives us His life, through her prayer and guidance. As Fr. Philipon said: “Accordingly, we can say in all truth that nothing comes about in the supernatural order without the mediatory action of Mary.” Truly Our Lady’s mediation is necessary for our salvation!! And she is with us!!

“You are called, little children, to be my children, my beloved children, so I can present you all to my Son.”

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!

Mary TV will LIVE Stream Ivan’s apparition and an Evening of Prayer for Peace, beginning at 5:00pm (EST) in St. Leonard’s Church in Boston.
There will be a special guest speaker!
Our Lady is telling us: “I need you!  Together with you I am able to fulfill my plans.”
