Dear Family of Mary!

April 25, 2001 “Dear children! Also today, I call you to prayer. Little children, prayer works miracles. When you are tired and sick and you do not know the meaning of your life, take the Rosary and pray; pray until prayer becomes for you a joyful meeting with your Savior. I am with you, little children, and I intercede and pray for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

During these days of trial and unusual difficulties, we may all be a little bit tired.  Such difficulties require a great deal of energy.  Being sick can really throw us off.  We may be tempted to lose hope, to get listless about the spiritual life.  Life is always a trial.  Things don’t go our way.  We have to practice patience and trust in so many ways.  It can be at times like this that we grow lax in our prayer.

Our Lady understands this.  And so, in this message she gave us a pep talk about prayer.  “Also today, I call you to prayer.”  She lets us know that she knows she has been calling us to prayer in every message, but “also today” she is going to call us to prayer again!!

Why does she call us to prayer so consistently?  “Little children, prayer works miracles.”  That’s why!  She wants us to receive miracles from her Son.  We need miracles.  We need miracles of faith, of hope and of love.  We need healings.  We need inner healings.  We need to get that job or find the person to marry.  We need to be converted more completely.  Prayer connects us to God, the One who can truly help us in our lives.

And so, when we are tired and sick and we do not know the meaning of our lives, we need to tale the Rosary and pray;  pray until prayer becomes for us a joyful meeting with our Savior.  When we take up the Rosary and pray, we are saying, “I will not give up on prayer.  I will pray, not matter how I feel right now.  I will pray the Rosary with Our Lady, no matter what.  This not giving up is important.

Mother Immaculata wrote in her book “Communion with God”:

Whatever happens we must never give up prayer:

“Never give up our hours of prayer; you do not know when the Bridegroom will summon you, and you might share the fate of the foolish virgins.” (Way of Perfection. Ch. 18:4 St. Teresa of Avila)

“If he does not give up prayer, let him be assured of this…prayer will bring him to the haven of light.” (Lettters of St. Teresa, No 19:7)

 

St. Teresa assures us that even the so-called obstacles to prayer such as aridity, distraction, impotence to think anything good, burdens of worries and anxieties can even be used as the subject of our prayer and can help prayer.  (Sister Immaculata. Communion with God. P. 119)

We do not know when the bridegroom will summon us!!  May we be found in prayer, with our Rosaries in our hands!  We will not be alone in that prayer.  Our Lady says,” I am with you, little children, and I intercede and pray for you.”  Our Mother will pray with us.  Indeed, she never stops praying for us.

May we never give up on prayer.  Prayer works miracles!

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!
