The Glory of God!

Dear Family of Mary!

“Dear children! I am with you for so long because God is great in His love and in my presence. I am calling you, little children: return to God and to prayer. May the measure of your [way of] living be love and do not forget, little children, that prayer and fasting work miracles in you and around you. May everything you do be for the glory of God, and then Heaven will fill your heart with joy and you will feel that God loves you and is sending me to save you and the earth on which you live. Thank you for having responded to my call.” September 25, 2020

“May everything you do be for the glory of God, and then Heaven will fill your heart with joy and you will feel that God loves you and is sending me to save you and the earth on which you live.”

What does this mean: May everything you do be for the Glory of God.  I must say that I have lost track of this sentiment in my daily life!  But doesn’t the Deacon say at the end of Holy Mass: “Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life.”  Certainly, this work of glorifying the Lord is important, even central to our lives.  How could I forget it?

It occurs to me that if I lived in such a way that everything I did was for the glory of the Lord, then I would be constantly aware that somehow my behavior was a proclamation and a demonstration of how Good and Great and Wonderful God is!!  Each moment could become a moment lived in the awareness that God is with me, and I am with Him, and I have the opportunity in each moment to give God the praise and thanks He is due, through my actions, my words, my thoughts, my prayers, and my desires.  I would no longer be a “lone ranger” operating on my own behalf in a world that only belongs to me.  I would be already in Heaven in that I would be present to God as He is present to me!

Maybe that is why Our Lady continued in the message saying, “then Heaven will fill your heart with joy, and you will feel that God loves you…”  Living in the desire to glorify God in everything would naturally bring me into His presence, since I would be offering everything to Him as a gift.  And then, I would receive the joy of Heaven in return, the Love of God.

Well it sounds like a lovely way to live.  Always living for the Glory of the Lord!!

Notice that the end of that sentence says: “you will feel that God loves you and is sending me to save you and the earth on which you live.” When our hearts are filled with heaven, we see things from a different perspective.  We see God acting in our poor world.  We see what He is doing.  And what He is doing is amazing.  He is saving us and our measly planet through the coming of Our Lady.  This is her Triumph.  This is her time.  And we are called to help her, by living our lives for the Glory of the Lord!

“May everything you do be for the glory of God, and then Heaven will fill your heart with joy and you will feel that God loves you and is sending me to save you and the earth on which you live.”

Let’s start practicing this way of living today.  Before we begin a task, while we are doing the task, at the end of the task, may we offer it for the Glory of the Lord!  It will make our every moment deeply meaningful and sweetly humble!

In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

“Medjugorje is the spiritual center of the world!”

Pope St. John Paul II – February 24, 1990

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 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!
