An epistle to the Apostles Our Lady is raising up – much-awaited for transcript-writing mentioned last week…
June 8, 2015 A.D.
The basis of the following writing was for a taped broadcast. It turned into an epistle. The fact that much of it was stated seven hours before Our Lady gave a prayer group message through Ivan, May 29, 2015, is the intriguing factor in regard to what A Friend of Medjugorje had said before the message. In the beginning days the visionaries of Medjugorje heard homilies where Our Lady, the next day, would say a similar message paralleling and confirming the message given in the homily by the priest. Much of what A Friend of Medjugorje said, before Ivan’s message from Our Lady, speaks clearly in reference to Our Lady’s message. The statements which follow are “new thoughts” for Medjugorje. Pray before entering into the following epistle to Our Lady’s apostles by A Friend of Medjugorje.
WE MUST GO TO A HIGHER TRUTH
By a Friend of Medjugorje
Addressing a recent organized day of dialogue and prayer with a group of evangelical pastors of Pentecostal orientation, Pope Francis said May 24, 2015:
“I wish to say something that may sound controversial, or even heretical, perhaps.”1
Francis went on to say, satan knows who Christians are. They are united as followers of Christ. The Pontiff said satan does not care whether these Christians are,
“Evangelicals, or Orthodox, Lutherans, Catholics or Apostolic…he doesn’t care! They are Christians. And that blood (of martyrdom) unites. Today, dear brothers we are living an ‘ecumenism of blood’…I am convinced it will not be theologians who bring about unity among us. [They can] help us…but if we hope that theologians will agree with one another, we will reach unity the day after Judgement Day. The Holy Spirit brings about unity…”
The following in some ways are new thoughts and it “may sound controversial, or even heretical perhaps”, but Truth is recognized by the heart that is open to God, whenever he reads or hears it.
Public revelation ended with the death of the last apostle. Today, private revelation is treated as inferior to public revelation, “Go to the back of the bus. You are not allowed here up in the front.” It is almost put into the context of race, “Well, because you’re colored, you are a lower class.” We are not trying to say that private revelation is above public revelation, but there are profound Truths given through private revelation by God. He is coming to us through the visitation of Our Lady of Medjugorje. Why? Because private revelation heightens the importance of the Truth of public revelation. It invigorates it. Pope Benedict confirmed that as Cardinal Ratzinger.2
The Church didn’t recognize the Truth of the Assumption as dogma until 1950. It was the same with the Truth of the Immaculate Conception which was made a dogma in 1854. There were many people who understood these as Truths, but the Church did not yet recognize them as infallible dogmatic truths. So why did it take approximately 1,850 years for the Immaculate Conception and 1,950 years for the Assumption before these were adopted as dogmas in the Church? There have only been two times in Church history where “ex cathedra,”* was declared. Those two times it was in regards to the Virgin Mary. Many think the Pope is infallible all the time, which is not the truth. Infallibly, the two times a Pope declared “ex cathedra,” concerning the Virgin Mary, was the Assumption of Our Lady and the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady.
So the Church evolves in clarity of Truth over the years, as we receive understanding and enlightenment through time. With 34 years of growth in understanding Medjugorje, we can now say we understand Medjugorje to a greater degree. We can say, “Our Lady is here in a new way that has never been seen in the history of the Church and She is bringing us to a higher Truth.” What does that statement mean? It means we have evolved to a higher (fuller) understanding of Truth that is expressed through Her messages. Why is this necessary? Because we no longer understand how to get the Truth, derived through the Scriptures, applying it to the modern way we live because modernity challenges the Church with things that Scripture never “specifically” spoke of that are taking place in our time, nor was understood by those men that wrote public revelation of the Bible 2,000 years ago. Many of the shepherds do not understand that Our Lady’s purpose in coming is to give messages to help modern man understand Scripture applied to our present life. Because many shepherds do not understand Our Lady’s purpose, they do not accept Our Lady and Her messages.
Our Lady said May 29, 2015, during Ivan’s prayer group:
So in regards to these Medjugorje private revelations, no one is to discount them. Don’t put them in the back of the bus. Since the death of the last apostle, these private revelations of Our Lady from Medjugorje are the most important in the 2000-year history of the Church. These Medjugorje apparitions are different, distinctly different, from all Our Lady’s apparitions throughout history. Why? Because the Medjugorje apparitions are public revelation being fulfilled. They do not belong in the back of the bus as previously stated. I, too, (just as Pope Francis said) wish to say something that may sound controversial or, even heretical perhaps.3 However, it is not.
In many ways the private revelation of Medjugorje is more important to man today than the public revelation in Scripture, because modern man can no longer relate to Holy Scripture with his modern mentality. Medjugorje is private revelation that is leading us to a higher understanding of public revelation for man’s elevation and his betterment, of which, public revelation cannot do, with today’s man.
Medjugorje is bigger than anyone on earth can understand at this moment. Even the Medjugorje visionaries cannot fully grasp the magnitude of what Our Lady will do. But the Medjugorje visionaries do have some insight of its importance. Medjugorje visionary, Vicka, states,
“Medjugorje is of great importance because of the messages of Our Lady, because She is still here and because Her presence can be expected daily. Lourdes, Fatima and other places of apparitions are beautiful and it is wonderful to be there, but it is a different feeling when the Gospa is present and not a thing of the past. One cannot compare this with anything, one cannot describe in words the meaning of Medjugorje. For those, who come to Medjugorje, Medjugorje is holy ground.”4
Medjugorje is beyond Holy Ground. Medjugorje comes with the answer because the Church has lost its way, as Ireland’s amendment vote has just shown. The only way that we can come back to God, to His Son, is through the re-invigoration of public revelation by “ the ” private revelation of Our Lady of Medjugorje. This is the moment of Divine intervention directly from Heaven! Medjugorje is the finale of Our Lady’s apparitions, just as Christ was the finale, the fulfillment, after a long trail of prophets. All the prophets for centuries gave way to Christ’s coming in fulfillment of all that was foretold. Christ was the fulfillment. However, all prophets together do not equal Christ’s coming. All the Marian apparitions of past history come together for the purpose and in preparation for Medjugorje.
May, 1984
With each apparition She became more known and loved. Therefore, all the Marian apparitions of past history do not equal the singular event of the Medjugorje apparitions. All previous apparitions served for the purpose for this moment of Medjugorje upon the earth. This is the moment of – ‘The Woman’ of Revelation Chapter 12. It is now! Public revelation being fulfilled. The Queen of Peace apparitions are unmatched in their importance; more important than any other Marian apparitions in history. There is no equal. Marian apparitions, even if combined together, cannot equal Medjugorje. Again, what I am about to say (just as what Pope Francis said) may sound controversial, even heretical, perhaps. However, it is not.
OUR LADY QUEEN OF PEACE OF MEDJUGORJE
IS NOT TO BE CONFINED
UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
THE APPARITIONS OF MEDJUGORJE
ARE NOT ONLY ABOUT THE FUTURE.
THEY ARE ABOUT THE COURSE TO TAKE IN THE PRESENT
TO CHANGE THE FUTURE OF ALL CHRISTIANITY,
ALL FAITHS, ALL PEOPLE, THE WHOLE WORLD,
AND A PLAN TO UNITE THEM UNDER HER SON.
That is Medjugorje. Naysayers in the Church do not get it because they are stuck in a limited capacity of understanding, confined by theology and a theological committee mindset. These mentalities are killing conversion for the multitudes through, “public revelation and its continuing sterile repetition,” as Cardinal Ratzinger said. The mindset that “the Church does not necessarily need private revelation, because we do not need it for salvation,” has been right throughout the ages, but now cannot be applied. In this time of Medjugorje, the Holy Spirit is enlightening man of the world’s need of salvation, through Our Lady coming daily to the earth. Yet, the mindset, “We do not need it,” prevails over and is given more weight over Heaven’s own intentions for the world today.
For those who say, “it’s the church, it’s the church, the church, that we can only go by and we don’t need anything else,” then find 6 bishops or clergy that have produced in conversions, what these 6 visionaries of Medjugorje have done unrestricted in freedom by their testimony. Find 100 bishops, nay find 1,000 that have produced the conversions that the 6 visionaries have produced by God’s grace the past 34 years. This should shake one’s mentality that, indeed, something Divine is taking place.In reality, we must have Medjugorje’s private revelation for the threats facing us today and for salvation. Yes, Jesus is our salvation, but that acceptance of this Truth is rapidly passing from the world today, in which we frequently hear we are living in a post-Christian era. Our time in man’s history is different than in all human civilization. We need Medjugorje to save the world. Our Lady said, “I’m coming here to save the world.” The shepherds of the Church must ask themselves the questions that follow each of Our Lady’s messages below, in regards to whether they will reject or accept Our Lady and Her plan for the salvation of the world. Our Lady said, November 22, 1981 A.D.:
The world must find salvation my beloved shepherds. And a good portion of you want to wait for approval?
February 25, 1988 A.D.
As shepherds, how much will your hesitation, hindering, indifference, or rejection of Our Lady’s apparitions of Medjugorje and Her messages, cost you for what you could have done but did not want to? You will have to seriously repent for not doing so. Our Lady said:
August 25, 2013
Meanwhile, we who ‘accept’ Our Lady’s call as apostles are sacrificing our lives for the salvation of the world.
May 2, 2011 A.D.
As bishops who shepherd the flock, have you not seen what God Himself is showing you through Our Lady of Medjugorje? Our Lady said:
August 25, 2013
Ivan said that had Our Lady of Medjugorje not come, the world would have destroyed itself— and we hear from many we are to discount these private revelations as not necessary? Why is it happening today that the private revelation of Medjugorje is the cause of millions of conversions, conversions that are not coming through public revelation today? Scripture, to be raised out of the confusion of ‘modernism,’ can only be resurrected by the private revelation given in the messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje. In The Catechism Explained, it states:
“It is an error to suppose that Holy Scripture is the ONLY means intended by almighty God to communicate to the nations of the earth the truths of revelation.”5
Cardinal Mueller, of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, has put out a statement on the Medjugorje apparitions, which puts restrictions on the voice of Our Lady. Our Lady’s words are the only clear direction we are getting in a time the Church desperately needs it. The Church has lost its way. The shepherds do not have a direction out of the mess the world is in. To stop or stymie people from going to Medjugorje meetings, gathering to listen to these visionaries who are talking to the Virgin Mary Herself, Wisdom Herself, who is giving us a way out of a situation that has no exit is to stop Our Lady, Herself. Those who fall in such category as to stymie the apostles Our Lady has been raising up for over 30 years, are in serious contradiction of what Heaven is mandating. We have, through Our Lady of Medjugorje, the way out for the world’s situation, as well as for the Church. The Medjugorje apostles will navigate the Church and the whole world out of the chaos to a springtime for the future. Yet, Our Lady says we cannot do it without the shepherds. This, therefore, places them in a position of grave liability.
Many shepherds, without realizing their actions, are in the way of God’s plan to convert the entire world, blocking God’s plans by discounting Our Lady’s messages and apparitions. These actions have already blocked conversions, because nowhere, nowhere do the Medjugorje visionaries go, or Our Lady’s apostles, where they leave without a bountiful harvest of conversion. Cardinals and bishops must be advised. It is better for you just to leave Medjugorje alone. Be Gamaliel if you can’t believe in it. That’s okay. “If it’s from God, it will flourish, if it’s not it will fall.” Every Medjugorje gathering blocked, every apparition of Our Lady silenced, stops conversion of souls, a portion of whom are on the track to hell. Their perdition is on your hands who stopped what could have taken place but was blocked instead. Heaven’s mandate and only plan to save the Church and the world is being given to us now and for the last time.
A shepherd’s position is dangerous if he considers Medjugorje like Pontius Pilate considered Christ, feigning he was not against the Christ, but who politically washed his hands as if he had nothing to do with killing the Heaven-sent Word of God 2,000 years ago. History repeats itself with the Heaven-sent plan of Our Lady of Medjugorje, which is resurrecting God’s Word. Is the directives of Cardinal Mueller, and the actions of other shepherds the same, washing their hands while then proceeding to kill Heaven’s word? Actually, the directives of Cardinal Mueller do not even block the gatherings or attendance of the apparitions, but the way it is written leaves the impression that no one can attend. The directive clearly states you can attend “if the credibility is not taken for granted.” So, why does the Church write an ambiguous statement that purposely causes confusion amongst the flock who have never wavered in their loyalty to the Church?
History shows, when Our Lady comes, it is always the bishops who fight against Her. What ‘is’ different this time is Our Lady has not placed Herself and the apparitions under the Catholic Church. She is here to enact a plan not in the future, but to daily guide apostles in the immediate present to change the future. We will continue, we, as Our Lady’s apostles will not be stopped. Yet, we are obedient to the Church. We are in union with the Church. Medjugorje is not a call for a schism. We will not participate in such evil. However, we will change the Church! This is an intervention of Heaven to raise a body of evangelizers to go out into the world, who are outside of a certain scope or reach of the Church, free from bureaucracy and unnecessary restrictions. There, in a freedom within this scope, we will still remain obedient to the Church. By our baptism we are commissioned to evangelize. And that we will do unceasingly, answering Her call. As a matter of conscience, we will not stop meeting, gathering, or promoting the messages of Our Lady. We will not stop listening to the Medjugorje visionaries or cease to gather to hear them or attend Our Lady’s apparitions. Yes, we will be obedient to a correct compliance to the Church’s directive of which we will state at every Medjugorje event:
“These apparitions have not been approved formally by the Church. The clergy and the faithful attending this event are in compliance with the Apostolic Nunciature of the United States of America, PN 3980, stating to you here in attendance, we are not taking it for granted that the Church has approved these apparitions, they have not done so.”
The only way you, the shepherds, can stop us is if Medjugorje is condemned. It is not condemned. In regards to shepherds, you who have been given the power to call God down to the altar have not been given power over the Blessed Virgin Mary to descend from Heaven each day to the earth as She wishes. She does so for the purpose to be with and guide Her children, raising them to be apostles. Shepherds, you have not the authority to stymie or restrict Medjugorje outside of the Catholic Church and its property, unless condemned. If a Baptist, a Mormon or a Muslim invited a Medjugorje visionary to attend a gathering on private property or property they gather to worship in their faith, would you stop them? Bishops are bishops for all the people in their diocese, the bishop of every person, no matter their belief or unbelief— Catholics; Protestants; Jews; Muslims and on and on. Would you tell a Muslim, attending a mosque in your diocese where a Medjugorje visionary was invited, they cannot attend or gather? Would you tell Muslims who have a devotion to the Virgin Mary, who is mentioned in their Koran, that their meeting for an apparition with Ivan in your diocese must be cancelled because the Catholic Church has not approved the apparitions? Would you say to them, “I, as bishop, will not allow gatherings because the credibility of the apparitions may be taken for granted?” Thousands of Muslims showed up for Medjugorje visionary Vicka’s apparition in Israel in 2013. Would you tell Protestants, on private property, they cannot gather? No? Why not? Why not do to them what is being done to Catholics? These edicts and directives are giving an impression that is being interpreted that Catholics cannot host conferences, prayer events, meetings or attend apparitions involving the Medjugorje visionaries. Are we misunderstanding these actions? Can it be responded otherwise that this is not the case? No, we are not misunderstanding these actions and this cannot be explained away as a misunderstanding. Why was an event involving Ivan and his apparitions cancelled in St. Louis, Missouri, on March 18, 2015, as well as other events in places in the United States, Italy and Spain with other Medjugorje visionaries?
In the same way, you would act with those outside the Catholic faith who attend Our Lady of Medjugorje’s apparitions, and there are many non-Catholics who do have devotion to Our Lady of Medjugorje, why would you not act with us the same, when we host, attend and/or promote events involving the apparitions of Our Lady of Medjugorje outside of Church grounds? Yes, we realize that we must make it perfectly clear we are not taking the credibility of the apparitions for granted at every event. Through the years, we know of no one who has hosted the Medjugorje visionaries “officially” connecting the apparitions to the Catholic Church or who inferred the Church’s consent or approval. There is no abuse of this. To write directives as if that is the case, is to insinuate and leave the impression of abuse. It makes one think that something suspicious is taking place behind the scenes.These apparitions are for the world and are to remain free – unless condemned. They are not to be reined in. If you want to restrict, choke, and shut them down, then you must condemn Medjugorje. Yes, you can stop Our Lady that way, but BE ADVISED: You are interfering with Heaven. BEWARE of what Heaven will do, since Our Lady is coming to the earth because…
…God the Father is repeatedly rejected, as the world heads towards Sodom.
…God’s Son is repeatedly rejected, as the world heads towards Babylon.
…The Holy Spirit is repeatedly rejected in turning around the direction of the world, as the world degredates more into an abyss of sin.
Our Lady is coming, in the last apparitions on earth to lead the world back to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
On May 29, 2015, Our Lady said of the shepherds, to accept Her because many do not accept Her and Her messages:
With a growing body of people rejecting the Three Persons in God, Ireland being the most recent example, the last hope that God could send to man, is a Creature made by His hand to draw the world out of the danger it is in. And you want to be in opposition by not accepting Her messages as Our Lady showed in the previously quoted message? Our Lady said on February 17, 1984:
Our Lady of Medjugorje identifies what She is here for, when she states, “ I ”:
This is amazing! And to those restricting and ignoring Medjugorje, you want to scoff? Our Lady said on March 18, 2009:
You want to stop people from coming to the apparitions? You want to put out innuendos from your offices as bishops that you are not for it because it has not been approved? You want to tell us to just wait until it is approved? If we wait for Medjugorje to be approved before we propagate it, before we send the messages of Our Lady out, what would take place in the meantime?
Our Lady is acting in real time, and many shepherds want us to be non-participants, to be silent in the most important event since Christ’s resurrection and ascension and the descent of the Holy Spirit, until the Church approves the apparitions. Peter and John, after Jesus ascended, were told by the Sanhedrin not to mention Christ. They were lashed, but upon their release they did it anyway. We will not be any different as Her call is to immediate action in the present to save the world. We, the faithful, proclaim Medjugorje is real to us–Sensus Fidelium–while respecting the Church’s judgement. It is clear that these last apparitions of the Holy Virgin Mary and Her messages of private revelation is the complete fulfillment for all that will ever be needed to draw man back to God. Our Lady said:
June 23, 1982
The visionaries have confirmed that these are the last apparitions on the earth where they can see Her, talk to Her, and can touch Her, because “after this there will be no need for apparitions.”
Our Lady speaks clearly to us through Her messages by saying, “Today I call you…” which means do not not delay or wait to act until the Church approves. We are guided by Our Lady to move, to act, to propagate Medjugorje’s plan and to multiply our actions NOW, NOW, NOW. Not later, not even one day later. Medjugorje can only be approved if we propagate it, otherwise there is no reason to approve something that no one follows. This is not said seeking approval. Certainly it is satan’s strategy to damage and stop Medjugorje, and to align with any authority that can be used by him to kill Medjugorje, restrict or choke it down. Our Lady is not to be handcuffed. Our Lady’s messages clearly show She needs freedom to enact a plan and that is why She appears on a mountain side and not in a church. Who is it that sends Our Lady, and who is it that denies Her descent to the earth every day? This is a time of choosing the side of light or darkness and aligning oneself with your choice.
If Medjugorje is real, then this message of February 17, 1984 is real –
What of you who are in authority of the clergy, who want us to sit on our hands, like many of the higher clergy are doing stymieing and stopping Medjugorje? For you who do so, remember history is recording what you are doing now and will show the truth of your actions, whether your actions were good to Our Lady or bad to Her. On the other hand, Bishop Zanic, who presided, and Bishop Peric, who now presides over Medjugorje must not be judged as not doing God’s will. There are those of the clergy who are kept from recognizing the Truth so that God’s plans can be fulfilled. God sometimes allows adversity for a purpose. It is in God’s design that Medjugorje is not to be approved, for the sake of the fulfillment of Our Lady’s plans. If it was, a spider web of controls, restrictions and many other actions would kill the voice of Our Lady, Queen of Peace of Medjugorje’s apparitions. Creating an outlet by Medjugorje being approved, also creates an inlet getting into Medjugorje.
An outlet flowing out from a great lake allows one to travel down the river, but it also allows an inlet back up the river to the lake. If the Church approves Medjugorje—it would draw more people to Medjugorje who, perhaps, were waiting for Church approval before they would go—so there would certainly be a greater “outlet” for Medjugorje flowing out through these pilgrims throughout the world. At the same time, Church approval will create an inlet of more restrictions, more caution, more regulations, more control, etc., over the apparitions, along with an inlet for the influence of enemies of Medjugorje who would harm it once they gain jurisdiction through approval. Do not think this would not happen. We are seeing this now with the restrictions being placed on the visionaries where they can’t speak. as was already mentioned with Ivan. It is the devil’s goal to “silence” the visionaries. If that happens, Our Lady is silenced. They, the six Medjugorje visionaries, are the voice of Our Lady of Medjugorje. You restrict them, you restrict Our Lady. But what if the Medjugorje visionaries are allowed only to give out Our Lady’s messages and are restricted in everything else, as a cautionary act, as they are not schooled theologically? This question is raised as a ploy to choke and restrict the Medjugorje visionaries, thereby Our Lady and Her plans, by the devil.
August 25, 2014
It is a question posed similarly just as the Pharisees did to trick Jesus when He was asked if it was lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, and Jesus responded by asking them to bring a coin to Him. He asked, “Why put me to the test?…Whose likeness and inscription is this?” When they responded, “Caesar’s,” Jesus said, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and give to God the things that are God’s.”
What belongs within the things of God is the Virgin Mary of Medjugorje and Her plans. He has sent Her to speak to the world. Our Lady speaks to the world through the six Medjugorje visionaries. They speak to us about Our Lady, Her personality, Her motherhood, Her love, etc. The visionaries teach us how to love Her, how She cares for us, how we are to love God as a Father and Jesus as Her Son, how we are to work for Her, give our lives for Her and a thousand more things. I have personally seen Marija, many times, enter an apparition tired, overwhelmed by crosses she carries, weighed down by the sufferings of so many people who come seeking her intercession with Our Lady, but then just after the apparition, has a fire within her to witness the love of Our Lady. She is compelled to speak in such a way that she can’t keep it in. Anyone who wants to silence what the visionaries are saying is helping to carry out a plan of regulation to muzzle Our Lady, which is the devil’s goal. It is a pretext to say “we must theologically frame what the visionaries are saying,” and the intent behind the pretext is to stop them, as darkness’ way to silence them. The devil hates what we have learned from the six visionaries about Our Lady, Her plans, and how to bring people to conversion, through our own conversion, and towards holiness.
But suppose the visionaries say something wrong? What have they said that is heretical in the past 34 years? How many have the visionaries turned away from conversion? Or what have they said that is against the Church? There is nothing to accuse the six Medjugorje visionaries of being out of line with the Church. The Medjugorje visionaries, therefore, cannot be restricted or regulated without violating Heaven’s mandate, nor restricted or regulated by the standards of the Church. One may object saying, “Padre Pio was silenced too. It was a test of his obedience and the visionaries should submit to the same, etc.” The six visionaries are not Padre Pio. They are not ordained priests that administer sacraments. There is no jurisdiction of authority like that over them which had the ability to silence Padre Pio. They are Catholics in good standing, commissioned by their baptism to evangelize. There is no authority, no jurisdiction to stop them from speaking. There is no authority on earth that has the right to silence them as long as they are not heretics and as long as Medjugorje is not condemned. They are not heretics. They are not condemned. Therefore, they are free to go anywhere, to speak anywhere, to have apparitions anywhere. If they are restricted from Catholic churches and its properties, then there are plenty of places that will accept Our Lady and Her voices, the six visionaries. They are free. It is God’s will that they remain so. Anyone who says otherwise does not understand Medjugorje, the Church and God’s plan. So what is gained by creating an outlet for Medjugorje, when an inlet for control will restrict the plans of Our Lady? It is better to wait for Our Lady’s plans to be fulfilled before approval is given, and it is God’s will and plan to do just that, so as to protect Medjugorje.
This is why God has prevented Medjugorje being approved or disapproved.6 What Cardinal Mueller’s directives are doing is different. It is a killing of the voice of Our Lady’s apparitions. Then what can the shepherds do to be in compliance with Heaven? Do not approve Medjugorje. Do not condemn Medjugorje. Simply state, “the apparitions are real but don’t approve them,” and let Our Lady continue Her plans. Is the response, “This cannot be done?”
Yes it can be done.
How? The shepherds have all the scientific findings proving the visionaries are seeing something not of this world and “is” supernatural. It is a fact that, the scientists who have studied the visionaries show that the apparitions are real. Three specific conclusions show the Medjugorje visionaries are before something not of this world.7 Two decades of tests and experiments have shown:
1. Six pairs of eyes converging to one spot in perfect timing; this is a human impossibility, possible only if they see something suddenly appear not of this world.
2. Brain waves measured reflect a progressing state of awareness; a human impossibility to create, possible only if they are engaged with something before them.
3. The larynx has vibration and airflow which causes sound; the visionaries lips continue to move, but no audible sound is detected by probes connected to their throats; this is a human impossibility, possible only with some force or power taking away the sound.
Some have concluded that a new statement on Medjugorje forthcoming will possibly echo the April 10, 1991 statement of the Yugoslavian Bishop’s Conference, a portion of which follows:
“On the basis of the research that has been done, it is not possible to state that there were apparitions or supernatural revelations.”
If a new statement has any such judgment the statement would have no credibility. Why? Because it is false to say that research does not show it is supernatural. It is science that says that it is supernatural. To argue against the findings would be an embarrassment for a commission when it has been proven beyond doubt scientifically.
WHEN THE CHURCH GOES AGAINST TESTED SCIENCE,
AS IN GALILEO’S DAY,
IT COMES OUT WITH A BLACK EYE.
In 1633, members of the hierarchy of the Church were “led astray by excessive doctrinal caution, and condemned as formal heresy the then novel scientific teaching of Galileo that the sun is the center of the universe and immovable.”8 Medjugorje has proven itself scientifically. Medjugorje has proven itself by its fruits. Yet, it suffers from excessive doctrinal caution. The 1991 Yugoslavian Bishop’s Conference, already quoted, was wrong when it stated: “On the basis of the research that has been done, it is not possible to state that there were apparitions or supernatural revelations.” This statement is false, as science from the early 1980’s had “research” proving it was an apparition and something not of this world. It can be said the visionaries are experiencing, factually, something real – to the same degree of realness that science can prove that the sun is the center of the solar system and immoveable – as Galileo proved.The most advanced scientific testing that took place from1983 through 2005, concluded that the apparitions are “absent of deceit.” Professor Henri Joyeux was on the initial research team in 1984, as well as the other research teams over the years. In 2005, after completing their latest testing of the visionaries, he said:
“After twenty years, our conclusion has not changed. We were not wrong. Our scientific conclusion is clear: the Medjugorje events must be taken seriously.”9
Over the course of 22 years, a whole panel of scientists using the most advanced instruments, the most advanced tests, have proven conclusively that the Medjugorje visionaries see something supernatural. “What” – they see is by their testimony. Their testimony is backed by millions upon millions of conversions! The way out for you as a shepherd is for you to possess the thought, “Maybe I don’t believe this in my heart, I can’t accept it, but I dare not stand in Our Lady’s way.” You who are standing in the way of the private revelation that is resurrecting public revelation in the heart of man, woe to you and woe to those who are indifferent, washing their hands like Pilate and therefore allowing efforts to stymie Medjugorje. You will realize when it is too late that Our Lady delivered messages for the whole world in your lifetime and you ignored them or were indifferent to the grace lavished upon the earth in such a portion that could never be deserved.
August 25, 1997
The weight of lamentation, which God warns of through Our Lady, cannot be imagined in its reality of what it will be like when it visits you, “…soon a time will come when you will lament for these messages…”
With Guidance to Our Lady’s Apostles and Respectful Direction for the Shepherds,

Cardinal Ratzinger states, “We have thus moved from the somewhat negative clarifications, initially needed, to a positive definition of private revelation.”

6. The two bishops’ resistance to Medjugorje is serving God’s purpose, serving the purpose of saving Medjugorje. Having spoken and met with Bishop Zanic long ago, a Friend of Medjugorje could easily see Bishop Zanic really was sincere in what he believed. To understand this more clearly, what follows is a brief listing of a few epistles by A Friend of Medjugorje (which can be downloaded from Mej.com) regarding Church approval and Medjugorje.

After reading, I couldn’t help but remember Scott Hahn writes, people don’t understand the makeup of actual Kingdoms, and what constituted who was the Queen Mother. It’s important because it explains in part how others outside of the Catholic church don’t understand Our Holy Mother’s, true part in Redemption History. What most miss is, Kings for the most part had Concubines and Multiple Wives. It was the Wife of the King, giving birth to the King’s Heir, whom was the Queen Mother. Our Lady is trully that & when she simply mentioned how the wine had run out at the Wedding of Cana, Our Lady, didn’t even repeat Her request to Her Son, she instead turned to the servants and told them to do as He asks. The Mother of Jesus, knew it was time for Jesus to start His Ministry, and it was She who started it by Her request to Her Son. When we ask for Our Heavenly Mother’s Intercession, we are asking, just as past subjects did, for the Queen Mother to petition the King on our behalf. Awesome.

May God Bless all of us in these difficult times and help us see the Truth! I place all of my family, friends and the entire world in Jesus, Holy Spirit and Mother Mary’s hands! I been to Medjugorje twice and I hope and pray that I will go there again very soon! God Bless!!! Dragi Isuse pomozinam svima!
Exactly one year ago today, I was en route to Medjugorje for my 5th pilgrimage. We were privileged to be staying at Ivan’s home for the entire week. Each evening at 6, we entered his beautiful prayer chapel to pray the Rosary and prepare for his evening apparition at 6:40, Medj time. These apparitions are real. Gamaliel’s wise admonition still stands. If God has sent His Mother to bring us back to Him and live Godly lives these 34 years, then NOTHING can stop either God or Our Lady! No wonder she says repeatedly and insistently, “Pray for your shepherds.” Let God’s will be done and we keep praying for the Holy Spirit’s guidance as to Holy Mother Church’s final decision. Meanwhile, the Sensus Fidelium of millions of pilgrims speaks loud and clear for itself. Much good fruit, conversions, healings, vocations have come about as a result of the Queen of Peace’s being allowed to stay with us for all these years. And God bless the visionaries for their obedience to His will. Pray.
Dear friends of Gods people, I thank you for being a shining example of standing firm in the defence of His plan, to save all His children. We must try to give this letter to as many priests and bishops as possible and pray for their hearts to be opened to the spirit of truth. Ave Maria
We must pray, fast and ask for courage for our shepherds to accept her messages and her peace plan in Medjugorje. Thank you Caritas and Visionaries for your accepting her call daily and sacrifices for the truth.
That is exactly how I feel. As a Field Angel I have kept up with all the info about our Lady of Medjugoria & how can anyone deny her messages. The truth is there, as plain as can be. Finally a Franciscan priest at our parish, coming back from Medj.,is filled with our Lady’s love & talking about her. Now he will take the different Novens’s etc. I will give him. May God bless & strengthen your ministry. Always in my prayers. I have promoted the Novena’s especially the Patriotic Novena & will keep trying.
Medjugorie is the Call of our Dearest Blessed Mother to understand God Almighty, Jesus and the Holy Spirit a call for sanctification and holiness. I was brought home to my Catholic Faith because of and after reading about the visionaries and hearing the messages. The scales on my eyes fell off and everything made perfect sense. I knew in my heart this was real and true.
Thank you all so much for your support and prayers down through the years we are under constant attack through the media government even the opposition parties but we know that Jesus and His Blessed Mother will win through Please Please keep up you support prayers Paddy
I too believe these messages and what a powerful insight written for us. We can see clearly the evil around us and our only hope is Prayer, Prayer, Prayer! We cannot wait any longer but must try to encourage those who do not know.
Thank you for you clear direction as always. As a Field Angel from Leeds, England, I have never had any doubts of their authenticity, but it was very valuable to hear again the scientific proofs of them being supernatural. Oh let us send up a great prayer of penance and holy Masses for our shepherds. Let us each have a Mass offered as often as possible for our shepherds. especially our own priest. Thank you, Community of Birmingham for you dedication.
Wow, Mary our Mother the ARK of our SOUL the FLOOD is here not water this time but DARKNESS hang onto your Rosary its your life jacket. Thank you Caritas my family.
What a clear and strong writing! A Friend of Medjugorje has clarified questions from the past, present and future regarding the apparitions of Our Lady of Medjugorje. Thank you.
Lets pray the rosary and fast to reduce the secrets that are coming. Vicka says the punishments can be lessened through prayer and fasting.
I also agree that this is the most powerful writing of a Friend of Medjugorje. I believe Whole Heartedly that these apparitions of Our Blessed Mother are taking place. I wish that Our Lady could be permitted by God to reveal at least one of her secrets so that our Shepherds may see and believe. But, as Jesus said, Blessed are those who do not see and believe. I wish there was a way to get a copy of this writing to all our shepherds. God Bless you for your service to all of the faithful and for the converts you are bringing to the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
Dear Antonio of Italy,Leeann,John,Ann,Shron& Barbara of US,Rosemary of Ireland,Linda of NZ, Barbara Downer of Trinidad & Tobago, Josephine Marshall of Australia. Thank you very much for your encouraging comments. Our Lady is continuing to do marvellous miracles on this earth. Just another, a Buddhist painter was entrusted to do paint work in a church situated in western province of Sri Lanka. During the day time he had been applying paint to the ornate stand which Our Lady’s statue stands. He had been alone & suddenly a blue light flashed on his face from the statue & said ” Dear Child, Let my people follow the True Message- DO NOT interrupt that” He got scared & had run in search of the priest but he couldn’t. Then he had searched for the sexton(in local language we call as Sanchristian)who looks after the vestments, rings the bell & assist the priest in daily chores. The sweating worker had related the story & it was in local newspapers. Here we experience immense Majesty of BVM.
Thank you friend of Medjugorje for this writing. satan is now really desperate to stop Our Lady from bringing the plan of Almighty God for the world to fruition. We must continue to pray for our misguided shepherds, so that their hearts may be opened and that they see the truth of what is happening in Medjugorje. May God and Our Lady continue to Bless you and all at Caritas. Maria
Thank you. This is an excellent response. Keep up the good work. Mabel and Charles (Zimbabwe)
Mother Mary is our mother and mother of the church, and she knows better how to lead her children to Jesus – e Viv Maria
Our Lady’s helpful Friend expresses the truth as a real Catholic should even if some Bishops disagree with it.
Wonderfull, Thank you, for what I also consider to be the truth. The Virgin is our Mother, Medjugorje is our saviour,in Mary.
You are right on. I have said many times the unbelievers have not visited Medjugorje. You cannot go there and remain an unbeliever. Pray for those shepherds who have not visited so they can believe.
Why cant the world just accept the fact that our Lady is doing US a FAVOR for the salvation of our souls? Maybe because of PRIDE. She has always been consistent in bringing us closer to God. If people continue in resisting that, then there is indeed a lot to pray for!! For us who believe, let us PRAY some more.
Our Lady Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
I believe that the words printed were right on track. We have to pray everyday for our priests and bishops that they will listen to our lady’s messages. I thank “a friend of Mejugorge ” for writing this article. May the angels of our lady carry these messages to all our clergy..
Praise you Father of All Creation! Thank you Our Lady of Medjugorje! From the bottom of my heart! Pray for us ALL, Church Militant!
Shephards are human beings who satan spends over time working to dismantle their faith. We who are blessed with faith in Our Lady of Medjugorje must remember that fact everytime we have questions. Our Lady has asked us to pray, fast and sacrifice. I will answer her request and ask her to intervene to Our Lord for our shephards to have courage. Again thank you to our friend of Medjugorje for the words I need to give me strength. grace schnakenberg
I’ve just read, what a Friend of Medjugorje as wrote , and I can truly tell you, that whilst reading it, from start to finish, my eyes were full of tears. I am a grown man of nearly 54 years old, and as I was reading from the beginning, I seemed to have a feeling inside me, to know what was coming next, in regards to what I was about to read further down. Our Lady as said, if you know how much I love you, you will cry with tears of joy, I cryed for you Gospa, on reading, what I’ve just read. Time is short, it’s time for everyone to support Our Lady.
Our Holy Mother, The Saint Virgin Mary is doing for us, her little children, the best to guide us to Heaven through prayers and fasting. Let us do as she wishes and pray and fast for our shepherds.
Thank you for your wonderful writing! I have followed the apparitions and visionaries since Medjugorje began. I believe in the apparitions with all my heart, they have helped with my own conversion! Our Lady will prevail and be victorious, let us all pray for for the Shepherds who reject the messages. Thank for your yes to our Lady and your inspiring writings. God bless your leadership!
This is the best and most powerful writing of all from a Friend of Medjugorje. May God bless you
Let’s have faith and a spirit of courage in these hard and bad times. May the Holy Spirit of God enlighten the mind and inflame the hearts of all the scholars and followers of Christ. Let us pray the holy Rosary with love and zeal for our blessed Mother.
There is no doubt in my mind that I was converted because of Our Lady of Medjugorje. It was she who pointed to her Son Jesus and opened my eyes! I was a cradle Catholic and yet through ignorance and society as a young person growing up in the 60’s and 70’s I had no idea what being a Christian was about. The first time I heard about Medjugorje was from Caritas back in the late 80’s…it stirred my soul but it took another 15 years of receiving Caritas’ messages and information that I visited Caritas in 2004 while Marija was there. During the 2nd night I was there while praying the rosary and during the apparition my life from that moment I could no longer deny that God existed…that He really existed and that HE loved me and it was thru Our Blessed Mother that I got to experience His love. It saddens me when I hear people say they don’t believe in God or that the Church will not approve these apparitions…but for me God will prevail and I thank Caritas for remaining true all these yrs
OUR LADY’S PROPHECY’S OF LA SALLETTE FATIMA AND GARABANDAL ARE UNFOLDING IN FRONT OF US THE WORLD NEEDS TO AWAKEN FROM IT’S SLUMBER ESPECIALLY US CATHOLICS AS THE ENEMY HAS PLACED A TROJAN HORSE AMONG US, WE EITHER SERVE GOD OR GIVE INTO THE FOLLY OF MEN.
Dear Friend of Medjugorje, Thank you very much for your continuous postings. I am a true believer of the Power of Lord Jesus Christ & Our Blessed Virgin Mary. The most powerful tool on this earth is not money but the grace of our Lord. what money cannot do, God’s power can.
VERY well done. I wanted to add to your “fire:” From the Italian the English translation should read “…the time has come for the WORKS of Truth, of my Son” June 2, 2015
Thank you for this writing. I go to a random message every day and sometimes more than one because i enjoy reading them so much. It never fails that whatever I need to hear is the random message. It also can pertain to something going on in my life or something I have heard about. Today’s random message was from 1986 about the Blessed Mother’s answer to the church’s approval of the Apparations, which is what this writing is about. Amazing. I have never been to Medjugorje, but I believe in the apparations and i wasn’t raised Catholic. I don’t think the naysayers should have an opinion especially if they have never been to Medjugorje and witnessed the conversions and experienced it first hand. They should certainly not discourage others from the blessings and graces that these messages give us. Thank God for the priests who do believe. I know in God’s time and His Will, they will be approved.
Thank you very much for this writeup. May Mother Mary always guide you all. I do believe in Our Holy Mother’s apparitions and her messages. I will spread spread them and pray for our shepherds.
Shepherds have been rejecting Fatima & Lourdes apparitions also.They will realize one day and return to Our Lady’s call. We do not have to worry about their beliefs. Out of all who lived with Jesus Christ, the only person which we meet physically is Our Lady. Her intercession is very powerful. During the Holy Mass every time we say, The Kingdom, The Power & Glory are always yours O Lord. That means the final decision is in Jesus’ hands. As believers let us abide with the true messenger of Jesus, that’s Sancta Maria. She will definitely look after you personally as long as you remain with her in person.Those who reject will repent one day. It will be too late at that time.Just a reminder- read about the Battle of Lepanto.Catholic armies would have been destroyed and the Vatican would have been fallen to barbaric Islam on that day if not Our Lady did not intercede. She is the one who fought the battle. Viva la Madonna of Victories. Sicncerely yours. Iranius Fernando of Sri Lanka
Thank you so much for the wonderful article. I am sure it is divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit. We all can pray for our Shepherds so that they may understand the real importance of Our Lady of Medjugorje. Please keep writing as we really need the Divine Inspiration you provide. God Bless You!
I will always believe in Our Lady, no one will ever change my mind. I love her and get great comfort reading her messages. May God live in our hearts and souls and may more people start believing, I pray. Praise be to God, Jesus and Our Lady
Thank you for this article. It is the same God for all religions and we should not be limited by our own religion but united in the one God who is the same. Just different practices but same belief. Our Lady lead us through the Holy Spirit to do God’s will. Amen
O that the Holy Spirit enlighten our Shepards would listen and believe Our Lady is in the world and listen to Her messages. – Thank YOU Friend of Medjudgorie We will continue to pray – Amen
Mary has always been by my side and I believe with all my heart her pleas to us. I pray that the world will wake up before it’s too late & I continue to pray for that everyday.
As always, “the friend of Medugorje” helps us to understand so much of what is sometimes hard to grasp without the inner grace and spirtual intelligence he has. Thank you” friend of Medjugorje” for being the Warrior for Heaven that you are and for helping us to armor ourselves with the knowledge you are always sharing!!! You wipe away so many cobwebs and so much confusion. God Bless you and all you do for Heaven and for us!
Very good reading thank you very much
Thank you with all my heart for this most wonderful article. My heart was jumping with joy reading every word. Your words are full of encouragement. All His Great Love to you and your most valuable mission. Fiat Lord!
Praise be to God Jesus Christ for His Love and mercy, for The Most Holy Mother of God, Mary, Her mission and Her love for us. I absolutely believe in Medjugorje messages and the content of them, even if I haven’t been there at all. We can see what is going around the world, how much evil, killing , persecution of the Christian, children of God and Holy Mother. Good father and mother always care about their children, and that what exactly is taking place in Medjugorje and other missions around the world. Title priest or Bishop doesn’t give them automatically wisdom or holiness. They must pray like everybody and they need our prayers, our help as well as we need it. What “Friend of Medjugorje” wrote is everything true. satan is always against the Truth and Holy Mother, therefore we must listen to Our Mother , Her massages because this is Will of God for our times to save His children. God bless you
