upon his release from the hospital after the assassination attempt.

May 14, 2021

Dear Family of Mary TV, Apostles of Our Lady of Medjugorje,

“The Catholic Thing” carried an article yesterday titled “Signs and Wonders”. Noting that May 13, 2021, the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, was the 40th anniversary of the assassination attempt on the life of St. John Paul ll, Stephen White posed the question to readers:

What signs of God’s action in our own day have we missed because we are too skeptical, too cynical, too eager to seem sophisticated?”

After the assassination attempt “as he was being rushed to the hospital, John Paul ll said, more and more feebly as the moments passed, only Our Lady’s name, Mary, and none of the things the newspapers attributed to him,” (Andre Frossard, “Portrait of John Paul ll”, p.55).

The following month Our Lady started appearing in Medjugorje.

Perceiving the hand of providence – the assassination attempt happening on the anniversary of the day, at the very hour, of Our Lady’s first apparition in Fatima – the Holy Father asked Bishop Paolo Hnilica to bring to him, while he was convalescing in Gemelli Hospital, all the materials he could gather on Fatima.

As a result, Pope St. John Paul ll asked bishops throughout the world to join him in his March 25, 1984, Act of Consecration to Our Lady that he did in response to her request at Fatima.  In a book of her writings published after her death Sr. Lucia confirmed that Our Lady had accepted it in response to her Fatima request. Sisters of her convent in Portugal reiterated this again recently.

Sr. Lucia of Fatima also confirmed this to me in a February 12, 1992 letter sent by Fr. John D. Marchi, “Yes, the Consecration of the world is well established”.

Traveling to Moscow and secretly slipping into the Kremlin, Bishop Paolo Hnilica consecrated Russia while saying Mass behind an issue of the communist newspaper “Pravda”. Returning to Rome the following day he arrived in St. Peter’s Square just as the Pope was beginning to recite the words of consecration. (Bishops could do the consecration on March 24, as Bishop Hnilica did, or on March 25th.) The Holy Father was overjoyed hearing Bishop Hnilica’s account of his trip. They spent four hours together later that day in the Pope’s private apartment. Taking from his shelf Fr. Rene Laurentin’s first book on Medjugorje (that he had written with Fr. Ljudevit Rupcic), “Is the Virgin Mary Appearing in Medjugorje?” the Pope read to him several sections out loud, asking, “Didn’t you stop in Medjugorje on your way back to Rome?”  In response to the bishop’s reply, “No, your Holiness, it has been forbidden,” with a wave of his hand Pope John Paul ll said, “Pay no attention! Go to Medjugorje! Medjugorje is the continuation and fulfillment of Fatima!”

Our Lady confirmed the Holy Father’s words in her August 25, 1991 message. She invited her children to nine days of prayer and sacrifice: “so that, with your help, everything that I desire to realize through the secrets I began in Fatima, may be fulfilled. I call you, dear children, to now grasp the importance of my coming and the seriousness of the situation. I want to save all souls and present them to God. Therefore, let us pray that everything I have begun be fully realized. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Four days later, on August 29th, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR suspended the activities of the Communist Party throughout the country. But the devil wasn’t backing down. The following month Our Lady warned in her September 25, 1991 message:

“Dear children! Today in a special way I invite you all to prayer and renunciation. For now as never before Satan wants to show the world his shameful face by which he wants to seduce as many people as possible onto the way of death and sin. Therefore, dear children, help my Immaculate Heart to triumph in the sinful world. I beseech all of you to offer prayers and sacrifices for my intentions so I can present them to God for what is most necessary. Forget your desires, dear children, and pray for what God desires, and not for what you desire. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Pope John Paul ll did not miss the signs of God’s action in his own dayOn February 24, 1990 he said, “Medjugorje is the spiritual center of the world!” (“Why He Is A Saint, the Life and Faith of Pope John Paul ll and the Case for Canonization”, p. 168, by Msgr. Slawomir Oder, Postulator for his Cause of Sainthood). In the chapter he includes on the Pope and Medjugorje, Msgr Oder quotes from eight letters the Holy Father had written in regard to Medjugorje.

For example, on December 8, 1992, in his own hand: “I thank Sophia for everything concerning Medjugorje. I, too, go there every day as a pilgrim in my prayers. I unite in my prayers with all those a who pray there or receive a call for prayer from there. Today we have understood this call better. I rejoice that our time is not lacking people of prayer and apostles.”

And it wasn’t just St. John Paul ll. An August 6, 2019 Catholic News Service headline gave the Church’s verdict: “Vatican confirms Medjugorje approval by joining youth festival”

In response to the Holy Father’s appeal earlier this month for prayer to bring an end to the pandemic, thirty representative Shrines scattered throughout the world have been chosen to lead the Marian prayer each during one day of the month of May. Vatican News reports that “the Shrine of Our Lady Queen of Peace at Medjugorje in Bosnia” has been chosen to lead the Rosary tomorrow, May 15, 2021.

With the 40th anniversary of Our Lady’s daily apparitions in Medjugorje now upon us, maybe the author of that article in “The Catholic Thing” should pose this question as it relates to Medjugorje: What signs of God’s action in my own day have I missed because I am too skeptical, too cynical, too eager to seem sophisticated?  Mainstream traditional Catholic outlets should do the same.

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!
