Dear Family of Mary!

Mother Mary is with us. She is with us in Medjugorje, accompanying us on our way to heaven. As we continue to prepare for Pentecost, let’s listen to another message she has given us with her guidance for this time of battle for the Kingdom of God:

August 25, 2000 “Dear children! I desire to share my joy with you. In my Immaculate Heart I feel that there are many of those who have drawn closer to me and are, in a special way, carrying the victory of my Immaculate Heart in their hearts by praying and converting. I desire to thank you and to inspire you to work even more for God and His kingdom with love and the power of the Holy Spirit. I am with you and I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Our Mother was excited to see that many of her children had drawn closer to her. Through prayer and conversion, her children were able to carry her victory in their hearts, the victory of her Immaculate Heart. This is very important. The victory of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart is a victory over our terrible enemy, Satan. Her victory is bringing many souls into the Kingdom of God. It is the final battle for souls.

Mario Mijatovic (Vicka’s husband!) shared about the importance of Mother Mary in his interview with Rosie in “Tea with Rosie”, episode 290. He spoke with such conviction! It was his personal experience that he spoke about. (I highly recommend that you watch this interview on our website, www.marytv.tv  because seeing Mario speak communicates much more than the words he spoke alone could communicate. He is filled with the Holy Spirit!)

Mario shared with Rosie:

Mario: Mother Mary, Mother Mary is calling us to have patience, which is a beautiful way to stay close to Her. We must stay close to Mother, not with our lips, not with our words – but with our heart. You know, with our heart. Speaking with Her about all your problems. Speak with Her, talk to Mother. Tell her everything. Ask Mother – she is doing something for us, she is sending her Son Jesus. Mother is doing this for us.

This is most important. Because, when I speak today with my Mother, with Mother Mary, when I tell Her everything that is here [he points to his heart], then tomorrow somebody may ask me, “Who is your Mother?” I can tell him, “My Mother is the same mother – the Mother of Jesus Christ, Mother Mary.” Well, after this the man may ask me, “What did you speak about with Mother Mary today?” Then I can tell him, “I spoke this, this, this.”

But when you speak to another person, and you ask him, “What did you speak about with Mother Mary? What did Mother Mary tell you today?” That person might frown like this… (frowning). Now, many people say this: “Mother Mary is my mother.” Excuse me? Who is this mother when you don’t speak with her? Who is your mother – (that you don’t speak with her)? This is important.

Mother Mary is safe for us. A sure way for us. Mother Mary brings us to her Son Jesus. You know, this is important. Because when I go to find Jesus without Mary, I am not sure which Jesus I will find. Maybe some can find Jesus. But I find Him with Mother. I want to tell you all, this is most important, to stay close to the Mother Mary.

Rosie: And She will guide you to Jesus.

Mario: Mother Mary of Nazareth! Not Mother Mary of Medjugorje, of Lourdes, of Fatima…but of Nazareth! This same Mother Mary of Nazareth has been to Lourdes, has been to Fatima, is here for us [in Medjugorje]!

Mario knows the Mother! He wants us all to understand that we need to be her children. We need to speak to her every day from our hearts, sharing everything with her, simply, like children. And we need to listen for her words, her guidance. This is how we will grow in holiness. This is how we will be ready for the coming of the Holy Spirit. This is how we will help her heart to triumph!! Be her children, truly her children.

Thank you, Mario, for your witness. It brings us closer to our Mother, the Mother, Mary, our Mother.

We pray together to the Holy Spirit:

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful

and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.

V. Send forth Thy Spirit and we shall be created.
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray. O God, Who by the light of the Holy Spirit didst instruct the hearts of thy faithful, grant by the same Spirit that we will be truly wise, and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

What happens to my petition?

The Information Center collects your petitions and makes sure they are given to either Vicka or Ivan to be presented to Our Lady during one of their daily apparitions.

Although hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of petitions are offered to Our Lady at one time, Our Lady knows the content of each petition. Our Lady tells us that she will pray with us and intercede for us before her Son Jesus for our intentions.

After every apparition, the petitions are burned.
