"No
one can serve two masters. He will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You
cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I tell you, do
not worry about your life-- what you shall eat or drink-- or about your body--
what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than
clothing?
"Look at the birds in the sky. They do not sow or
reap. They gather nothing into barns, yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are
not you more important than they? Can any of you, by worrying, add a single
moment to your life span?
"Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from
the way the wildflowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not
even Solomon in all his splendour was clothed like one of them. If God so
clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven
tomorrow, will He not much more provide for you, oh you of little faith?
"So do not worry and say, what are we to eat? Or
what shall we drink? Or what are we to wear? All these things the pagans seek.
Your Heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
"But seek first the Kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry
about tomorrow. Tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its
own evil."

Medjugorje.
[CLIP]
[Gunshots heard] London calling in the home, overseas,
and European Services of the BBC and through United Nations Radio
Mediterranean. And this is John Snag speaking. Supreme headquarters, allied
expedition reports have just issued communicate number one, and in a few seconds I will read it to you.
Under the command of General Eisenhower, allied naval
forces, supported by strong air forces, began landing allied armies this
morning on the northern coast of France.
We are here to mark that day in history when the allied
armies joined in battle to reclaim this continent to liberty. For four long
years much of Europe had been under a terrible shadow. Free nations had fallen,
Jews cried out in the camps, millions cried out for liberation. Europe was
enslaved in the world parade for its rescue. Here in Normandy, the rescue
began. Here the allies stood and fought against tyranny in a giant undertaking
unparalleled in human history.
President Trump: When America Soldiers set out beneath
the dark skies over the English Channel in the early days of D-Day 1944, they
were just young men of 18 and 19 hurdling on fragile landing crafts toward the
most momentous battle in the history of war. They did not know if they would
survive the hour. They did not know if they would grow old. But they knew that
America had to prevail. Their cause was this nation and generations yet unborn.
I was assigned to the First Infantry Division. Our
squad leader was Sergeant Stamborsky. He was an old
man, 36. We were 18, 19 years of age, he was a father to us. And in Normandy, a
German 88th split his back open and he nearly died. And he went to
England to recuperate.
The Americans who fought here that morning knew word
of the invasion was spreading through the darkness back home. They felt in
their hearts, though they couldnt know, in fact, that in Georgia they were
filling the churches at 4am. In Kansas, they were kneeling on their porches and
praying. And in Philadelphia, they were ringing the Liberty Bell.
President Trump: Why did they do it? They did it for
America. They did it for us.
You were young the day you took these cliffs. Some of
you were hardly more than boys with the deepest joys of life before you, yet
you risked everything here. Why? Why did you do it? What impelled you to put
aside the instinct for self-preservation and risk your lives to take these
cliffs? What inspired all the men of the armies that met here? We look at you
and somehow we know the answer. It was faith and
belief. It was loyalty and love. The men of Normandy had faith that what they
were doing was right, faith that they fought for all humanity, faith that a
just God would grant the mercy on this beachhead or on the next.
Our squad leader, Sergeant Stamborsky,
went to England to recuperate. And after there, I think he was there about two
months. At the end of that recuperation period, the surgeon said to him, Serg, you can go home now. Youve seen enough war. Youve
been through Africa and Sicily. And you know what he said? He said, No. I
want to go back to my offset. And we were in the first rest period that wed had
since D-Day. And we were in this little farmhouse and this guy comes running up
the road and said, Stamborsky! And we couldnt
believe it that hed come back. And we said, Youre crazy. What did you come
back for? And he said, Because I knew you guys couldnt win the war without
me.
Something else helped the men of D-Day, the rock-hard
belief that Providence would have a great hand in the events that would unfold
here, that God was an ally in this great cause. And so, the night before the
invasion, when Colonel Wolverton asked his parachute troops to kneel with him
in prayer, he told them, Do not bow your heads, but look up so you can see God
and ask His blessing in what were about to do. Also
that night, General Matthew Ridgeway, on his cot, listening in the darkness for
the promise God made the Joshua, I will not fail thee nor forsake thee.
These are the things that impelled. These are the things that shaped the unity
of the allies.
President Trump: We must choose whether we squander
our great inheritance or whether we proudly declare that we are Americans. We
do the incredible. We defy the impossible. We conquer the unknown. This is the
time to reignite the American imagination. This is the time to search for the
tallest summit and set our sights on the brightest star. This is the time to
rekindle the bonds of love and loyalty and memory that link us together as
citizens, as neighbors, as Patriots.
We all went back into combat, and Christmas Eve,
Christmas Eve, Sergeant Stamborsky stepped on a mine
and was killed. What he meant to us, what he contributed On Christmas Eve, we
were in this old barn. We went into this barn to get away from the artillery
and everything else. It was pretty tough. It was hard
to describe the character of our American Soldiers. We came from nothing, had
nothing. But if we wanted something, we had to get it. It was a wonderful,
wonderful Army. And I think every young person today should know, and it bothers
me that in the history books you see these half pages talking about the second
world war. It should be pages and pages and chapters about what this country
did, what our people did, what our soldiers did in the Pacific, in Africa, in
Sicily. They saved the world, no question about it. And yet, you dont hear a
thing about it. Schools eliminate it. I think the world should continue to know
what man is capable of. The hated, evil, is what it is, and we should be up and
ready to stand up against it.
Here in this place where the West held together, let
us make a vow to our dead. Let us show them, by our actions, that we understand
what they died for. Let our actions say to them the words for which Matthew
Ridgeway listened, I will not fail thee nor forsake thee. Strengthened
by their courage, heartened by their value, and born by their memory, let us
continue to stand for the ideals for which they lived and died.
President Trump: This is our future, our fate, and our
choice to make. I made asking you to choose greatness no matter the trials we
face. No matter the challenges to come, we must go forward together. We must
keep America first in our hearts. We must keep freedom alive in our souls, and
we must always keep faith in Americas destiny that one nation under God must
be the hope and the promise and the light and the glory among all the nations
of the world.
[A
FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
We
are in the Pentagon of Medjugorje, the place of instruction, the leadership,
the whole battle plan, all about the messages, giving it to people across the
world. And today is the 75th anniversary of D-Day. It was stated, The
most momentous battle in the history of war. And now in our time, when we
have it of all the wars since the beginning of time, from the little villages
fighting each other, all the way to the great World War II, that we have
something taking place that is bigger than all those put together.
We
are in battle. Our Lady just gave a message June 2 saying, Only love will
make you comprehend that it is stronger than death because true love conquered
death and made it so that death not exist Death
is associated with war. Death is associated with battles. We are in a moment
that nothing parallels this in history except one war that took place. And that
battle was in Heaven, and those who are fighting against each other was satan and all his angels. Im saying angels. These were
angels who were glorifying God, those who were with God, they betrayed Him, and
they went to satan. And a great battle broke out with
those who stayed with God versus those who went with satan.
It was stated on this clip that they didnt know if they would grow old. Were in the midst of these same thoughts.
Trump
said America had to prevail. Well what about all the other hundred countries in
World War II? Why was it America that had to prevail?
Because America was that important. And dont think D-Day and what this brings
back and how the Americans with the English and other nations, but primarily
America, had to be the leaders to this. Just like the Roman Empire. Why we
infiltrated as Christians into it and changed it into the Christian Roman
Empire. And you have the parallels.
Mirjana
starts her second of the month messages. I wrote the book Mirjana, a
Mystery Revealed. She spoke about a wave coming across the world of
massive conversion in this epic battle that were in that Our Lady said August
2, 1981, A great struggle is about to unfoldbetween my Son and satan. Human souls are at stake This parallels the original
battle in Heaven. Weve entered into something that
you have to be on your knees, just like what Reagan said that in Georgia at 4am
they were filling the churches. When I released that book about Mirjana and
what she told me, people around the whole world, in the middle of the night,
going into the churches. This lasted for a whole year. We literally had a
ten-inch stack of paper of faxes from people all over the world, meeting the
second of the month apparition time in the churches. Priests opened
up.
We
heard from many nations, Puerto Rico had almost all their churches open in the
middle of the night to pray matching the second of the month. These prayers
impel what we see now with the second of the month, that this continued. And
Reagan said in Philadelphia theyre ringing the Liberty Bell. How do we
parallel things in history with spiritual life? So, look at the momentum from
the beginning of history of the world. Our Lady said, Im going to give
messages unlike anything in the history of the world. So, we have to go back and see the momentum of those first
scrimmages between tribes who followed each other, all the way to World War II.
They all added up to this point.
We
also have all Our Ladys apparitions, all Marian apparitions adding up to this point
from the beginning of the ultimate battle for Christ coming back. Thats not
going to be a five-year war. We have entered into
Armageddon. It hasnt started. This is a prototype. Were in the throes of
whats going to happen when Christ comes back. And we are the witnesses of how
theyre going to continue the battle to defeat satan.
Because Our Lady is here to crush the serpents head.
You
heard in the clip about loyalty and love. Our Lady tells us this, Only
love will make you comprehend Thats the key to our battle. And love
covers all things. And if we dont have that in our heart, we cannot defeat
death. Just like Stamborsky. When he came back he said, I knew you guys couldnt win this war
without me. We cannot win this war without Our Lady. Shes bringing us to
this point to do battle. Reagan said in this clip, Unfold. Our Lady
said, A great battle is about unfold. We have everything that we can
look upon in history to understand now whats unfolding in our midst. You have to rise to the occasion. Youre asked to be an apostle.
How are we going to be protected? Just like the officer who was laying and he heard about it being read about Joshua, the
promise God had made to him, I will not fail thee nor forsake thee.
Thats
why God has sent Our Lady here. He will not forsake us. But we cannot forsake
Him and expect to win. Theres a requirement from us of how this clipped in
that the American Soldier was so extraordinary, so many things that took place,
the character of them, it was that kind of character that was required to save
the world. This verbiage is out of the messages. Our Lady is here to save the
world. Our Lady is here with us in battle array. She said on the second of the
month, fresh from Heaven for you, follow me Who? My children, follow me. My way is the way of peace and love,
the way of my Son. It is the way that leads to the triumph What is
triumph? Thats what happened in World War II. We triumphed over evil. And
whos going to do it? Our Lady. leads to the triumph of my heart
Do
you understand the gravity of these things? Or is it because you have to go shopping at the grocery store, this minimizes the
sensitivity of the situation were in. Or youve got to go to work, or soccer
game, or football, or watch a movie. All these things we do that really is not
contributing to the battle that were in. You have to
have a certain character realized for you to be clothed in battle array,
clothed with armaments of love, that Our Lady can triumph. She is here for this.
And Our Lady said in the second of the month, Youmust pray that you be
strong in spirit and that you could comprehend and forgive Thats the
first thing of winning battle. If you dont forgive all the people that you
have to in your life, you cant be the character necessary to draw down the
graces of Heaven to fight equally with the power of Saint Michael.
Oh,
you might say, Well, I dont have his power. You have Mary. Shes
dispensing that. And the more you love, the more you conquer. Love gives you
the ability, She says, to comprehend that it is
stronger than death because true love conquered death We are in this
battle and it is big, way bigger than what I can understand, the visionaries
can understand, the priests, all of Medjugorje, all the
people who are coming to Medjugorje. We do not and cannot see all the
consequences. Our Lady said that January 25, 1987, You cannot comprehend how
great your role is You say, Ive heard a Friend of Medjugorje say these
things before. True. But how much did a teacher teach you division,
multiplication, geography, religion? Its something that has
to be part of you. You have to be able to speak
and talk about these things or get on a broadcast like this and say it from the
heart if you know the messages.
There
is nothing more, whether youre in college, getting a masters degree, whatever,
going through training at work, there is nothing that should be above what you
know in regard to the messages. You have
to dive into them because thats the instructions, thats the
battleplan. And Im telling you, this place is the Armageddon of the war of the
first crushing of satan and killing him. He will die.
She will crush him underneath Her feet, but somehow he
will come back to life. Electronics are not going to leave us,
theyre going to die and its going to come back. And all the modernism, consumerism,
all the glitter.
One of
the first things we have in this battle, you have to recognize
your enemy. When you have an opposing enemy, what do they do to each other? They
try to infiltrate. Theyre like spies. Theyre there amongst you. How do they work?
Our Lady said August 2, 2005 how we begin the bootcamp, how we enter in to fight
this. She said She wants to take you into Her embrace under Her mantle. And then
She says, I cannot do this while your heart is filled with false glitters and
false [gods] And what does She add to that? Cleanse your heart
What are those things? What lies to you all day long? What are you hearing all day
long? What are you dealing with? You cant be a soldier of Hers, you cant be an
apostle of Hers.
February
2, 2018 Ive already spoken about this, but heres the whole message, My children,
do not believe lying voices which speak to you about false things, false glitter
You wont be able to get the instructions. You wont understand them. You wont
go into the messages. We had a few people on our group while we were here, Its
the same old same, when they heard the second of the month. Its a long
message, another one said. Another one said, Theres nothing new.
Thats because they havent entered into the message. They
didnt understand it because they have too many lying voices, too much glitter in
their life, too many false idols, and it stops you from the realization of how big
this moment is. Nothing, in all the wars since the beginning, equals what were
in the midst.
Well, nobodys shooting bullets at me. Well, they can shoot you with the bullet, you can die, you can still have
eternal life in Heaven. But we have eternal death in hell and perdition. This is
a big battle, way bigger than anybody can understand. And thats why I said that
Medjugorje is the prefigurement of Armageddon. Bishop Tobin, ask him. He just came down on abominable sin. Hes
being attacked from the front, from the back, from the right, from the left, up,
above, and below. Hes getting hit so hard that hes even made a statement hes
regurgitating what he said which is condemning the sin.
See,
you cant speak out without getting attacked by these people who swarm, exaggerate
the numbers. Some of them are paid to do these things. Do your research. This is
a fight. You cant even speak out against a sin today without being called down.
Pray for him that he wont back down. And thats just one little aspect of what
were in the middle of. If you stand up and you speak for truth, youre in trouble.
And we have only one place in Medjugorje that is focused 100% just purely on the
message. And we need protection. What do want to do when you kill your enemy? Destroy
it. Crush it. Pray for protection for our Mission House. We have things that we
give out showing people and inducting them into the battle to make them understand
who they are. And theres no other place in Medjugorje like this. So its a target. It always will be.
And as
Our Lady makes our voice stronger, we will have more against us. Why? Because satan hates the messages. And this is the one place, not only
to receive it, but to learn about it.
[ANNOUNCER]
We take
now a very short pause to remind you about your important role in this great battle
with evil. In just one moment, a Friend of Medjugorje will conclude. But first,
the work of the Caritas mission is to help support who fight the battles of everyday
life. Our materials have helped thousands find their voice in a world that often
marginalizes morality and the way of truth. Our outreaches in the United States,
in our Mission House in Medjugorje, and our many other mission outreaches, help
to keep the spirit alive in those who often feel alone or abandoned in this important
time we live.
Thank
you for all who pray daily and financially support this mission. We cannot do this
without your help. We need your continued help in this daily war against evil and
sin so that we can continue to assist those of Our Ladys soldiers who fight every
day. Many of your are among those. Thank you for your commitment.

For all
who give, a Friend of Medjugorje will gladly share with you one free copy of todays
broadcast as a way of saying thank you. When making your generous gift, please mention
todays broadcast and the CD number CD2452MJ. Thank you for your help. Now, here
is a Friend of Medjugorje to conclude todays broadcast.
[A FRIEND
OF MEDJUGORJE]
The Mission
House needs your prayers and your support because we feed people from all over the
world that come to us and say, We never knew this about the messages. We never
understood Medjugorje. We were going home. This is our last day, and we havent
experienced conversion. They spend one hour here and
they convert. It is an important place. Its a strategic place for this battle.
And its importance is growing.
So here
at this 75th anniversary of D-Day broadcasting from the Mission House.
The most important thing that you hear today no matter what the news is, no matter
what event happens, nothing surpasses these words that youre hearing because of
the messages. And where I fill in the blanks with my words, its based and grounded
in Her words. Nothing else. No college degree, no first grade, nothing at work surpasses
this. Commit to this, recommit to this, give Our Lady your soul, as She asked August
2, 2005, I have come to you with open arms, to take you all into my embrace,
under my mantle. I cannot do this while your heart is filled with false glitters
and false gods. Cleanse your heart and allow my angels to begin to sing it it
Whats
in your thoughts? Whats singing in your heart? Its from false glitter, not from
Her. Dont say to yourself, Ive heard all of this before from a Friend of Medjugorje.
No, today, you have another perspective. Its not just repeating certain messages.
Its growing, having another perspective to get another perspective of this. Just
like the same Bible verse you heard ten years ago speaks to you differently now.
Contemplate
this. Reflect on this. New thoughts, new directions, new understanding will come
to you.
[CLIP]
Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States.
My fellow Americans, last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I
knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our allies were crossing
the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus
far.
Trump: We are gathered here on freedoms altar, on these
shores, on these bluffs, on this day 75 years ago, 10,000 men shed their blood,
and thousands sacrificed their lives for their brothers, for their countries, and
for the survival of liberty. Today we remember those who fell, and we honor all
who fought right here in Normandy.
Say a prayer for peace for every fallen son. Set my spirit
free. Let me lay down my gun. Sweet Mother Mary, Im so tired, but I cant come
home til the last shots fired.
In June 1944, I waited in the blood of Omahas shores.
Twenty-one and scared to death. My heart pounding in my chest. I almost made the
first seawall, when my friends turned and saw me fall. I still smell the smoke, I can taste the mud as I lay there dying from a loss of
blood.
Say a prayer for peace for every fallen son. Set my spirit
free. Let me lay down my gun. Sweet Mother Mary, Im so tired, but I cant come
home til the last shots fired.
Im in the fields of Vietnam, the mountains of Afghanistan,
and Im still hoping, waiting, praying, I did not die in vain.
Say a prayer for peace, for every fallen son. Set our spirits
free. Let us lay down our guns. Sweet Mother Mary, were so tired, but we cant
come home til the last shots
fired. Til the last shots fired.
Say a prayer for peace for our daughters and our sons.
Set our spirits free. Let us lay down our guns. Sweet Mother Mary, were so tired,
but we cant come home, no we cant come home, til the last shots
fired.
[A FRIEND
OF MEDJUGORJE]
Ponder
these things on this great day, this anniversary of all those people whose character
saved the world from being destroyed. And we are in a position now for the same
except much, much greater.
We wish
you Our Lady. We love you. Goodbye.
