Mary, Mother of exorcists, pray for us!

Dear Family of Mary!

Our Lady has been with us in Medjugorje for 42 years now. She has given us many messages, much teaching, much encouragement, much love and joy! She truly is our mother. But recently I have learned much more about Our Lady. She would never say it, but she has great power to defeat the devil. In her purity, holiness, humility and complete love for God, she is invulnerable to the enemies attacks, and the devil actually runs from her in great fear.

From the early days of the apparitions in Medjugorje, there would be demonic manifestations amongst the pilgrims especially at apparition time. In the midst of the great silence, as pilgrims would greet Our Lady, there would be screams and loud cries from those who were suffering from demonic infestations. The devils cannot remain hidden when Our Lady comes. They manifest and scream in fear.

This is a demonstration of Our Lady’s power over the enemy and his minions. Mary is called “The Terror of Demons”! Exorcists all attest to her power during exorcisms.

Monsignor Stephen Rossetti gave testimony to this power in a recent blog on his website. Here is a link to that diary entry:

Here is what he said:

I have never heard of Jesus personally showing up in an exorcism and casting out the demons. Perhaps it has happened but I have not yet heard of one.

Of course, it is in Jesus’ holy name that the demons are cast out. Recently, a possessed person told me that whenever I say the holy name of Jesus, it makes the demons “seriously angry” and he finds it “very painful.” Jesus’ death and resurrection is THE fundamental exorcism that smashed Satan’s kingdom. The name and power of Christ casts out demons. So then why doesn’t He personally show up at exorcisms?

Understanding who Satan is and thus his punishment is important. Satan tried to make himself equal to God. As one of our exorcism prayers addresses Satan, “In your great pride you still presume to be held equal [to God].” One might speculate that if Jesus, the God-man, were to show up in person to cast out Satan, it would support his delusions that he can be on the same plane as God, to challenge Him, and to be equal to Him. But Satan is dust compared to Jesus; he is a lowly creature who has made himself even lower because of his evil.

Moreover, it is often speculated by theologians that one of the reasons Satan originally rebelled against God was in response to the revelation of the Incarnation. For Satan, it was an insult that God would choose to exalt our lowly humanity instead of his superior angelic nature. Satan’s pride blinded him and he became enraged against Jesus and all of humanity, perpetually dedicated to destroying it.

In response, Jesus sends a “lowly” woman from Palestine to cast him out. Her only “weapons” are her love for Jesus, her total humility, and her obedience to God. It is precisely in these that we humans triumph over evil. According to Divine justice, Satan is enduring a reality he never learned: the essence of true power belonging to God. As St. Paul says: “I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me” (2 Cor 12:9).

I personally believe that the entire ministry of exorcism has been delegated by God to the Blessed Virgin Mary. She is the Mother of Exorcists; I believe she is spiritually present at every exorcism; and she often makes her presence directly felt in casting out Satan.

I do not know a seasoned exorcist who does not have a deep, heart-felt devotion to the Mother of God. In fact, I tell new exorcists in training that such a devotion is not simply a pious addition to one’s ministry. It is essential. We begin every exorcism invoking the aid of the most powerful Mother of God.

Mary, Mother of Exorcists, pray for us.

I agree with Msgr Rossetti! I actually believe that every time Our Lady comes to us in Medjugorje, she is doing exorcisms. She is waging a war with the devil that he cannot win. And she is beginning in Medjugorje. Why else would we feel so much peace in that place? We experience the wonderful peace of God, without the interference of the devils. It is palpable.

She has come to defeat the enemy of our souls. Here are two messages in which she tells us about the battle that she is waging for us and with us:

February 25, 1994 “Dear children! Today I thank you for your prayers. All of you have helped me so that this war may end as soon as possible. I am close to you and I pray for each one of you and I beg you: pray, pray, pray. Only through prayer can we defeat evil and protect all that satan wants to destroy in your lives. I am your Mother and I love you all equally, and I intercede for you before God. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

October 25, 1984 “Dear children! Pray during this month. God allows me every day to help you with graces to defend yourselves against evil. This is my month. I want to give it to you. You just pray and God will give you the graces you are seeking. I will help along with it. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Let’s cooperate with the graces Our Lady is bringing to us, and help her to defeat our common enemy. This time is Our Lady’s time. This is the time of victory!

Mary, Mother of Exorcists, pray for us!

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!
