The Holy Spirit will come upon you!
March 22, 2021

Dear Family of Mary!

Day Seven of our Novena for the Annunciation of the Lord:

“And the angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.” (Lk 1:35)

The Father spoke again directly to Our Lady, through the Angel Gabriel with this most important and incredible answer to her question. He was so happy to answer her question. The Father was ready to explain everything to Mary, because she was asking from a pure desire only to serve Him. I love this conversation!!

“The Holy Spirit will come upon you…” This outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon Mary was the most powerful and incredible outpouring of the Holy Spirit ever given. The Holy Spirit was coming to enact the Incarnation of God Himself, in the womb of Mary!!

“And the power of the Most High will overshadow you…” This image is very moving. The power of the most High will overshadow you. I did a search about the word “overshadow” and found that from the Greek (Episkiazo) it can mean to come over someone, or even to cover someone. And that word is used also in Genesis 2:21-22, where it says, “So the Lord God caused a deep sleep ‘to fall upon the man’ (to cover or overshadow), and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh; and the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. ”

There is deep significance here! When God created woman (Eve) out of man (Adam), He overshadowed the man, and in that creative overshadowing He withdrew the rib and fashioned the woman! In Luke 1:35, the Angel Gabriel tells Mary that the power of the Most High will overshadow her! God’s creative power would enact the Incarnation of The Lord in the womb of Mary!!!

“…therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God!” Wow, wow, wow!! The Father told Our Lady exactly what would happen. She was given all the information she would need. And thankfully, we are given that information too, so we can worship Jesus with all our hearts as our Lord and God!!

Our Lady wants us to be open to the “overshadowing” of the Holy Spirit just as she was. She wants us to desire the Holy Spirit and to open our hearts to His coming, because He brings everything good to us. She told us to allow God’s blessings to fall upon us in this message:

September 2, 2005 “Dear children, I, as a mother come to and am showing you how much your God, your Father loves you. And you? Where are you, my children? What takes the first place in your hearts? Why do you not put my Son in the first place? My Children, allow God’s blessings to fall upon you (could this be the same word, overshadow?). Let God’s peace overcome you. Peace, that my Son gives, only He.”

Let’s allow God to cover us with His Presence and give us all the blessings He has for us today, in preparation for the Annunciation on Thursday!!!

Mother, teach us how to receive the Holy Spirit!

Let us pray:

Annunciation prayer of faith:

Lord Jesus Christ, Eternal Word,
You became Incarnate as man
in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

You, through whom the universe was created,
began your earthly course,
in the womb of a humble and chaste Virgin.

At the annunciation of this miracle,
Mary responded in faith:
“Let it be done to me according to your word.”

May we who are made new creatures by your grace,
respond with such faith, when you call us to your service. Amen
(written by David Bennett)

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!
