Dear Children of Medjugorje, praised be Jesus
and Mary!
1. On May 2nd, Mirjana received her monthly apparition at the Blue Cross, and
the Podbrdo was covered with huge crowds! After the apparition, she gave the
following message:
"Dear children, Anew, I am calling you to love and not to judge. My Son,
according to the will of the Heavenly Father, was among you to show you the way
of salvation, to save you and not to judge you. If you desire to follow my Son,
you will not judge but love like your Heavenly Father loves you. And when it is
the most difficult for you, when you are falling under the weight of the cross
do not despair, do not judge, instead remember that you are loved and praise the
Heavenly Father because of His love. My children, do not deviate from the way on
which I am leading you. Do not recklessly walk into perdition. May prayer and
fasting strengthen you so that you can live as the Heavenly Father would desire;
that you may be my apostles of faith and love; that your life may bless those
whom you meet; that you may be one with the Heavenly Father and my Son. My
children, that is the only truth, the truth that leads to your conversion, and
then to the conversion of all those whom you meet - those who have not come to
know my Son - all those who do not know what it means to love. My children, my
Son gave you a gift of the shepherds. Take good care of them. Pray for them.
Thank you."
2. The table.
This month Our Lady invites us not only
to pray for our shepherds, but also to take good care of them. Are the sheep
going to take good care of their shepherds? Our Mother in Heaven sees
everything from above; she knows how much the Evil one attacks our priests, they
are so precious in God's plan! Yet there are some concrete means of protection.
I know an old priest who told me this story:
"When I was ordained a priest, I made a promise to the
Lord. I committed myself to always having a table between myself and the person
who would come to see me for counseling, or for whatever reason, to protect
myself. This promise was not always easy to keep, but I kept it, thanks to God
and it saved me. One day, a woman came to see me in her need to speak to a
priest about her situation. I was immediately very attracted to her, and I even
fell in love with her. Thoughts of her entered my mind and my strong feelings
were uncontrollable. Besides that, she came often to see me with her problems.
Each time I felt a strong desire to take her in my arms, or even to reveal my
feelings to her. But the table was there, between us!
"Oh, how I detested that table! Yet the table never
moved. The torture lasted three years. Then one day, the woman came as usual,
and as I was looking at her, I realized that I no longer felt anything for her.
All my feelings had disappeared as quickly as they had come! I continued to do
my best to help her, but with great freedom of heart, just as with a sister in
Christ. I understood that this feeling was a trap that the enemy had set for me
to destroy my priesthood. That table saved my priestly vocation; or rather
through my promise to Jesus to remain vigilant through a concrete protection,
Jesus saved me from disaster."
Afterwards, this priest was given a special charism to
help tormented people. How many hearts did he help, how many lives did he save
by praying and giving witness to God's mercy!? What a loss his fall would have
been to so many people! Today he is a happy priest, preparing to return to the
Lord, filled with the joy of having been able to humbly serve the Church in the
midst of waves and having remained a priest!
Blessed was that table!
But if this priest was able to insure his own protection
as early as his ordination, we, lay people, can also place "tables" around our
priests and find effective means to avoid situations that could make them fall.
Isn't this a good way to "take good care of them"?
3. Blessed Maryam of Bethlehem and consecrated souls.
Blessed Mary of Jesus Crucified received special
messages from Jesus that reveal the power of the Holy Spirit in souls,
particularly in consecrated souls. Here is a request she received from our Lord
Jesus, which applies to the whole Church:
"Whoever invokes the Holy Spirit, will look for me and
find me. His conscience will be as delicate as a flower in the field. If the
person is the father or mother of a family, peace will reign in his family, and
his heart will be in peace in this world and in the next. He will not die in
darkness, but in peace."
Here is the message intended for priests: "I ardently
desire that priests say a Mass each month in honor of the Holy Spirit. Whoever
says that Mass or hears it will be honored by the Holy Spirit Himself. He will
have light; he will have peace. He will cure the sick. He will awaken those who
sleep." Who among us does not long for light and peace!?
By an order of God, Satan had to reveal to Maryam his
tactics: "When we ( evil spirits) lay siege to a soul consecrated to God,
we begin by tempting her in little things.Triumphing over a soul who has
pronounced the three bad words (meaning the 3 vows) is for us more than
being the mayor of an entire city." But Jesus said to Maryam, "If, in a city,
even one completely perverted, I find one soul, a single soul who is faithful to
her vows, I will save the entire city." (See PS1).
4. Consecration. The month of May is bathed in the grace of Our Lady, and
for us it is the occasion to renew our consecration to her Immaculate Heart and
to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Isn't this an obvious urgency if we examine
closely what direction the Western world is taking? It is no longer time to fool
around.
In Fatima, Our Lady clearly explained the good fruits of
consecration and the bad fruits in its absence. These prophecies, given during
the 1st World War (1917) were fulfilled as we can verify one hundred years
later. We have received in Fatima THE formula for peace of heart, peace in the
family, and peace in the Nations! Not a magic formula, but much better! A
formula that comes straight from Heaven; one that does not fail, unlike that of
our politicians. For God is the only one who can pull us out of misery, the only
one who defeats Satan and his horrible plans of destruction. In Fatima as in
Medjugorje, Our Mother manages the Emergency Room and gives us the basic
instructions:
- Recite the Rosary everyday to obtain peace in the
world and the end of the war.
- Pray and offer sacrifices for the conversion of
sinners.
- Consecrate oneself to her Immaculate Heart and
to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. (See PS2).
A person consecrated to God belongs to God in everything
and adheres to his Word and his will in everything. This person no longer tries
to "live his life" according to his own will, but he submits to his Creator whom
he loves above all else and who gives him the highest degree of happiness. Today
it is a demanding choice because it often means swimming against the tide of
modern society. But what deep inner peace we receive then!
° God tells
us, "Narrow is the gate that leads to life, wide is the gate that leads to
destruction", the world is lying in saying us, "Stay cool, do what you want,
everybody will go to heaven anyway!"
° God tells us: Live my commandments and you will
have life! But the world says, "What commandments? No! We know how to be
happy. Let's put God aside. And we'll call Him if we have a problem."
° St. Paul tells us, "The wages of sin is death, but the
free gift of God is eternal life." (Rom 6:23). The world tells us, "But no, the
wages of sin is no longer death! Sin as you want, and be like everyone else!
It's better to be free and well accepted!"
° The Bible tells us that God created them, "man and
woman", but the world says (and imposes its lie on us), "This is completely
outdated, letus put 2 people of the same
sex together; why follow the law of nature set by the Creator?" Etc.
5. Dilemma in a garage. Here is a recent
example of confusion, which happened just this week. I was going to a garage to
pick up our car. Five men were having coffee in the body shop where they
work. They welcomed me in a friendly manner. I looked around, and on a wall, I
saw two pictures. One was of the Blessed Mother holding the Child Jesus in her
arms, and the other, less than two meters away, showed a half-naked woman in an
erotic poses. I mentioned to the men that these two images didn't fit together!
This sexual image invites sinful thoughts, which cannot be associated with a
picture of the Virgin Mary. They needed to choose whose side they were
on.
Four of the men got the message and told me that they
would remove the pornographic image, and would keep that of Mary. But the fifth
man said to me, "I wish to keep that picture, because I like it, and there's
nothing wrong with that". "Let's not enter into a debate," I answered, "look
into your heart, you know very well what I mean, and you are free to
choose."
The pornographic picture was taken down by the other
four and thrown out before my eyes, but not torn up. I dare hope that it won't
be replaced by the 5th man!
We have become so accustomed to confuse everything! We
want God's blessing, his protection and his peace, while violating his 10 Words
of life. We ask him for his help, but at the same time we push him aside and
cause him to suffer greatly by nurturing certain sins that destroy us from the
inside. This does not work! We can see the sad result of this! We do cry out
against some evil initiatives taken by our politicians, but let us not forget
that in order to save our country and the world from ruin, we need
saints!
If you want to become a saint, following this path that
Mary has shown us for the past 32 years in Medjugorje, you will be most
efficient in saving humanity, as it will shorten the time of trials. If you
choose not to be a saint and to rather follow the downward slope of the world...
why not stop for 5 minutes, and think of the day when you will see in a bright
light the full splendor of God's plan for you?! Don't take the risk of telling
yourself then, with infinite sadness: "It's too late, I missed
out!"
"My children!"Mary tells us, "Do not deviate from the way on which I am leading
you. Do not recklessly walk into perdition!"
6. Vicka had to leave Medjugorje for some unspecified time. Last month she was pushed
once again by a pilgrim and she ended up wounded. (See PS3)
Dearest Gospa, wethank you! Your words are clearer than cristal ! Please, give us the courage to live them without
compromising!
