Dear Family of Mary!

Today our brother, Reuben, shares with us something beautiful he discovered about Our Lady in relation to the Blessed Trinity! It makes me so excited!! He heard Denis and me talking about something that Mother Immaculata had said about Our Lady to us in a letter she wrote to us in 2011. She said: “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!” I will share more about Mother Immaculata tomorrow. But here is Reuben’s reflection on Our Lady’s Incandescence!!

Our Lady as the “Incandescence of the Trinity”.

We’ve just celebrated Trinity Sunday. I was praying the rosary with Mary TV just after attending “virtual” Mass at the Shrine of Divine Mercy, Stockbridge. I was listening to Denis and Cathy speak about the Sister Immaculata’s observation that Our Lady is like the “incandescence” at the heart of the Trinity.  This discussion reminded me of the sacred art above the shrine’s altar. It’s such a great visual representation of how the power of all three Persons of the Trinity are drawn down through Mary’s crown to light up her majestic figure. She is a strong and mighty figure, glorious and white as Christ might have been at the Transfiguration, and she is standing just above Divine Mercy, as the herald she surely is for these last days of God’s unfathomable desire to forgive and forget our sins.

This idea of “incandescence” also makes me think of Mary’s Magnificat. Scripture tells us that Mary ‘magnifies the Lord”. This line always makes me think of a magnifying glass picking up the rays of the sun and setting alight the dry ground. This must have been what her presence – her heart – was like during the nine days awaiting Pentecost. She must have been so focused on prayer, a creature so empty of self-interest, and so pure in love, that she can serve as a vessel to enflame the whole environment of apostles around her. Perhaps that’s why Mary calls us her “Apostles of Light”! Perhaps she wants to do the same for us! This is why Medjugorje, and Medjugorje’s pilgrims, are so aflame with the faith, because the little Mother is always with us, praying.

Now I look again to the altarpiece at Stockbridge, and I see how Mary’s crown is itself like a magnifying glass. The hole in its centre is empty, and small, as empty and small as the ego of Mary. The Persons of the Trinity are all looking lovingly down on the splendour of that crown’s humility. They see the victory of love in its tiny, unseen centre, and so do we who see the Mother in Medjugorje! The crowning of Mary is a herald for us all. It stands over Divine Mercy for us all. It announces that we who are small too can also be God’s royal children! That is the incandescence of the Trinity: its burning scandal of love, to bend down among us who are nothing but dust and raise us up to the throne!
 How blessed we are to stand beneath the figures of Mary and Jesus in this bright-lit time. (Reuben Purchase)

Thank you so much Reuben!  So beautiful!!!

And t hank you Dearest Mother, Queen of Peace and Queen of Divine Mercy! Your selfless and pure love for God allows the Trinitarian love to flow through your heart to our hearts, magnifying and sharing that heat, that fire of love that they give to you, with us, and setting us aflame!! May we be set on fire with that same love and in turn set the entire world on fire!!

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

“My Son promised me that evil will never win, because you, the souls of the just, are here!”

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!
