St. John Paul II

St. John Paul II

Dear Family of Mary!

Today is the feast day of St. John Paul II, who was Pope from 1978 until 2005! Truly, Pope John Paul II was a living miracle for Denis and me. We were newly married when He became Pope, and he single-handedly pulled the Church out of its modernist spiral, giving us again the strength of the truth about God! His catechesis breathed new and holy life into the Church, and turned our eyes to heaven!! Denis was a religion teacher in a Catholic high school, and St. John Paul II became his standard bearer, showing him the way to ignite the young people in the faith. Oh, St. John Paul, we love you!!!

I have gathered a few things that Our Lady said publicly to the visionaries about St. John Paul II. She spoke simply and to the point! But her love for him was evident:

Beginning of November 1981
The Virgin appeared with a picture of John Paul II in her hand. She embraced the picture: “He is our father, and the father of all. It is necessary to pray for him.”

Thursday, May 13, 1982
A year after the attempt on the life of John Paul II: “His enemies have wanted to kill him, but I protected him.”

Sunday, September 26, 1982
For Pope John Paul II: “Have him consider himself the father of all mankind, and not only of Christians. Have him spread untiringly and with courage the message of peace and love among all mankind.”

Friday, September 16, 1983
“In my messages, I recommend to everyone, and to the Holy Father in particular, to spread the message which I have received from my Son here at Medjugorje.

“I wish to entrust to the Pope, the word with which I came here: ‘MIR’, (peace in Croatian), which he must spread everywhere.

“And here is a message which is especially for him: ‘That he bring together the Christian people, through his words and his preaching; that he spread particularly among the young people, the messages which he has received from the Father in his prayers, when God inspires him.'”

We see how Our Lady loves St. John Paul II. She protected him from death when the deadly bullet went through his body in 1981. And St. John Paul II loved her so much as well, writing so beautifully about her in his encyclicals and letters.

Let’s pray to St. John Paul II today, with all our hearts, for the Church, and for Our Lady’s plans through us, that we will do our best to follow her and respond to her call in these most decisive days:

PRAYER FOR THE INTERCESSION OF ST. JOHN PAUL II

O Blessed Trinity, we thank you
for having graced the Church with
Saint John Paul II and for allowing
the tenderness of your fatherly care,
the glory of the Cross of Christ
and the splendor of the Spirit of love
to shine through him.

Trusting fully in your infinite mercy
and in the maternal intercession of Mary,
he has given us a living image of
Jesus the Good Shepherd.

He has shown us that holiness
is the necessary measure of ordinary
Christian life and is the way of
achieving eternal communion with you.

Grant us, by his intercession,
and according to your will,
the graces we implore,
through Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. John Paul II, pray for us!!

In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

“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!
