The Good Shepherd

May 9, 2022

Dear Family of Mary!

Today Jesus uses the image of the Good Shepherd in the Gospel. He is trying to explain to the people how He wants to relate to them. We of course are meant to see ourselves as sheep. Because most of us live lives far removed from sheep, farms, gates and pens, we may not relate to this analogy.

But as I view current events and social trends, I feel more and more sure that we are like sheep. We follow too easily. We hope to find what we need through the hands of a leader, and cling to promises that usually can’t be completed.

Jesus assures us that He is the rightful Shepherd, the only One who can provide for us safety and food and show us the way to Eternal Life . But how does Jesus lead His Sheep? He opens the way, He calls us each by name, and He goes ahead of us, to lead us out of our pen into the future of good and peace. We must follow. And to do that we need to know His voice. That is why we pray. Here are His words:

“Truly, truly, I say to you,
he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door
but climbs in by another way,
that man is a thief and a robber;

but he who enters by the door
is the shepherd of the sheep.

To him the gatekeeper opens;
the sheep hear his voice,
and he calls his own sheep by name
and leads them out.

When he has brought out all his own,
he goes before them,
and the sheep follow him,
for they know his voice.
A stranger they will not follow,
but they will flee from him,
for they do not know the voice of strangers.”

This figure Jesus used with them,
but they did not understand what he was saying to them. (John 10:1-6)

Our Lady gave us a message that could only have come from one of Jesus’ closest disciples. She is such a good guide for us in these days:

November 25, 2006

“Dear children!
Also today I call you to pray, pray, pray.

Little children,
when you pray you are close to God
and He gives you the desire for eternity.

This is a time when you can speak more about God
and do more for God.

Therefore, little children,
do not resist
but permit Him to lead you,
to change you
and to enter into your life.

Do not forget that you are travelers
on the way toward eternity.

Therefore, little children,
permit God to lead you
as a shepherd leads his flock.

Thank you for having responded to my call.”

With Our Lady’s guidance may we learn to know Jesus’ voice in prayer and allow Him to lead us, change us and !

Here is the prayer to Our Lady we are praying every day in May!

“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

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!

Mary TV will LIVE Stream Ivan’s apparition and an Evening of Prayer for Peace, beginning at 5:00pm (EST) in St. Leonard’s Church in Boston.
There will be a special guest speaker!
Our Lady is telling us: “I need you!  Together with you I am able to fulfill my plans.”
