Leave sin and evil…

Dear Family of Mary!

“Leave sin and evil…” (May 25, 2021)

Our Lady has tried to build into our lives the gift of repentance. In so many ways she has tried to help us root out sin from our lives. As long as we cling to our sins and failings, we will not advance on the road to holiness. But we need help.

Fr. Slavko Barbaric wrote a lovely book “Pray with the Heart!” In it he actually prays with us for the graces we need. I want to share with you part of the evening prayer that Fr. Slavko composed, in which he so gently and lovingly helps us to recognize and root out the sins of the day and give them to Jesus. May this prayer be a help to us in leaving sin and evil behind.

Pray with the Heart! by Fr. Slavko Barbaric
Evening Prayer

Father, the day has passed and the evening has come. I pray to You to send me Your Spirit that I may, in Your light, consciously spend these moments which I want to dedicate to You and to myself. Thank you for being ready to listen to me as Your child.

Father, hush my heart as the heart of a child is hushed in its father’s arms. Hush my heart at the sunset of this day as a baby is hushed in its mother’ arms. As everything around me is falling into the darkness of the night, send me Your light which never passes. Appease my soul as a doe is appeased at a water spring and as the earth is appeased after a fruitful rain.

Mary, so many times you hushed Jesus, your Son, as a child in your motherly arms and committed Him to the calm of the night. So I, too, ask you to be with me in these moments, that peace and tranquility may enter into my heart, that they may affect my soul and body.

Mary, thank you for having called me to change my heart. You said:

“Dear children! I would like to tell you today to start working on your hearts like you work in your fields. Work and change your hearts that a new spirit from God may settle down in them. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (April 25, 1985)

(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be)

Father, I have worked today and have become tired. Thank you for my having had a chance to make use of the gifts You gave me for my own good and for the good of others. Thank you that I have worked hard today too. And now I pray to You to give me grace to cultivate my heart, as I was ready to do other jobs during the day. Father, I pray to You that I may, at Mary’s intercession, redecorate and cultivate my heart, that it may change and become good and pure. Remove from it the dust of sin and evil. Let a new Spirit make its abode in me. Father, I admit that I have sinned today, too. At times selfishness and haughtiness took hold of me. I was angry and impatient. Others around me have sinned, too, uttering blasphemies, curses, lies and slanders. Father, all this has burdened my heart. So, cleanse and wash me. Cleanse my consciousness and subconsciousness that peace may settle down in me.

Mary, thank you for your call to cleanse ourselves of sin:

“Dear children! Today, too, I invite you to prepare your hearts for all the days when the Lord especially wants to cleanse you of all sins from your past. You, dear children, are not able to do it alone. That is why I am here to help you. Pray, dear children. Only in this way will you be able to recognize all the evil that is in you and to deliver it to the Lord in order that He may completely cleanse your hearts. So, dear children, pray without ceasing and prepare your hearts in penance and fasting. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (December 4, 1986)

Mary, thank you for being here to help us to cleanse ourselves. O Mother, take me on your lap now. A mother makes little of how dirty and soiled her child is, she rather helps it to be clean and nice. Do so with me now. Let the Lord, at your intercession, take the burdens from my heart.

(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be…)

May we turn to the Lord, in this beautiful and gentle manor, and allow Him to cleanse our hearts each night. What a beautiful way to leave sin and evil!!

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!
