"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."

This
is Mejanomics with a Friend of
Medjugorje.
[A
FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
You
know that we live in a time like none other. Its why Our Lady has said through
the years that this is a special time. In the 1990s, She
said on June 25, You are in a particular time. Why? Because man has
never had, at his hand, what we have now. We have so much abuse on all levels.
The
one thing that is disgusting to everybody is child abuse. You have many people
that would have an aversion to that. And thats rightly so. But the question
is, have you done that? Are you doing that? Are you allowing that? Are you
tolerating that? Many times people dont know what
theyre doing because they themselves are actually doing that. If you go out on
the streets, you look around, you see whats happening, nowhere in history have
we lived and done what we do now.
Reyes,
I want to ask you a question spontaneously. Who is
Steve Jobs?
[REYES]
Hes
the founder of Apple.
[A
FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
What
kind of guy is he?
[REYES]
A really good businessman. He was a devout Buddhist. He was a
pioneer, a visionary, if you will, in the technology world.
[A
FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
He
wasnt even Christian then.
[REYES]
No,
he was not.
[A
FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
So,
what kind of guy was he?
[REYES]
He
was a good person, but he was also pretty tough to be
around.
[A
FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
In
2010, New York Times reported that the mastermind Steve Jobs was asked
by a reporter how his children love the new iPod. Do you know what he said?
They havent used it. He didnt say they havent used it yet. He said
they havent used it. Was he going to let him use it? He continues,
Jobs, he says, We limit how much technology our kids use at home. What
does that say to you? Are you unlimited? Heres the mastermind of these things,
and he wont let his kids on it.
Whos
Bill Gates?
[REYES]
Bill
Gates is the founder of Microsoft.
[A
FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
What
did he do?
[REYES]
He
made it possible to have a computer in every home.
[A
FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
Yeah,
and he married Melinda Gates. His wife, Melinda Gates, said to the Washington
Post, that adolescents do not have emotion tools to navigate lifes
complications and confusions. They can exacerbate the difficulties of growing
up. And she adds to that, learning how to be kind, coping with
feelings of exclusion, taking advantage of freedom while exercising
self-control. What are these people trying to tell us? Theyre at the top
of the food chain and theyre not letting their children do what youre letting
your children do, or your grandkids, or your family members. Why are these
things?
This
thing is a monster and it is very damaging especially to the youth. Most older
people have their habits, most older people have decided where theyre going to
go, to Heaven, purgatory, or hell. And those habits continue into old age and
most, to their death. So satan doesnt spend a lot of
time there. Where has satan always been the most
active? In the youth. And hes got a prodigy in front of these children that is
very, very dangerous and its an abuse of the parents. And youre committing a
very big sin, a very big wrong, that will come back onto you later that youre
letting something influence your children, your youth, your adolescence, that
you should be doing. Our first read starts speaking about some of the problems
with this.
[RUTH]
The
name of this article is called Kids and Digital Dementia.
Research shows that our growing use of digital devices
can affect sleep quality, obesity risk, and aggressive behavior. Now there is
concern that many young people are suffering from digital dementia too. In
South Korea, nearly a decade ago, after doctors began seeing young patients
with brain function issues that are more commonly found in aging people or
those with conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, or tumors. Most recent research from around the globe supports
this finding. At alarming rates, kids raised in the digital age are developing
cognitive problems and attention issues and struggling with memory,
organization, reasoning, problem solving, and in-person social communication.
Multitasking and rapidly clicking through websites
can contribute to short attention spans and impaired learning, says
neuroscientist Manfred Spitzer, direction of the psychiatric hospital at
Germanys University of Ohlm. He believes young
brains should be allowed to develop with a greater range of use and application
then our technology addiction allows. While digital dementia can affect anyone,
youth might be at a higher risk for overuse of devices because the brain is
still developing. Spitzer feels so strongly about the issue that he recommends
children avoid media consumption.
[A
FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
So,
we have problems with this as far as scattered attention. It damages the youth
and its a more open gate for the devil to influence them. I heard the other
day on the radio, Millennials complaining about other Millennials. How off base
they are! He said, Im like a fish out of the water. Talking about fish,
we had in 2000, the average attention span was 12 seconds for an individual. By
2015, it had dropped to eight seconds. So, you go from 12 seconds to eight
seconds. Do you know what a goldfish is? What his attention span is? Nine
seconds. They can focus more than where we are today, for those who use these
things. This continual distraction is not a novelty. It is doing something that
is hindering all levels.
I
just came back on a plane from Medjugorje. Two older women, at least 65, maybe
70, sat the whole flight with a screen in front of them, iPads, 8x12, playing Solitare. And these stupid games! I saw her putting her
finger on, making the ball go up here and do this. And Im thinking, what in
the world is an old woman doing like that except satan
is occupying their time, mesmerizing these people, so they wont pray.
When
I was in Medjugorje at English Mass, our priest said this. He was from Cork,
Ireland. He started his homily this way. He said, You cannot pray all of
the time everywhere unless you pray some of the time somewhere. Thats
parallels Paul, pray without ceasing. That also aligns with Our Ladys
messages. She said, Pray without ceasing And really thats what that
means. You cant pray all the time everywhere unless you pray some of the time
somewhere. In other words, you always have that. But we have these two women
not contributing to anything except something thats electronic. Its
startling. But children are doing the same thing. And all ages are.
But
really astounding to me, and this is not the first time Ive seen this. I cant
even see what they see into it. I did my four rosaries, I did Scripture
readings, I did praying, and looking at that, I see
how lost we are. How can you be 70 years old headed toward your death
somewhere, and this is what youre being preoccupied with? Theres a recent
study that was done that showed infants attention spans suffer when their
caregivers eyes wandered to their smartphones. Just the caregivers just
looking at their smartphones that they have or either other technological
distractions during play time of the child, and it impairs the capacity of the
language acquisition and their problem solving.
One
thing you can observe with children, we do anthropology here. As adults, you
can look in the peripheral of your eye, and you know whos next to you or whos
praying the rosary in the Field, or whatever. Because you can see the shirt they have that you saw 30 minutes ago, on them. The
children do not identify adults in the first couple of years or what the adult
is saying without making eye contact. Its a marvelous thing. Every time you
see a small child here, they look, not at the blue jeans when theyre standing
up, they look to make eye contact. And its a really wonderous thing. They
cannot communicate or understand without eye contact. And what was Eves
problem? Eye contact. So, satans created something
that what youre allowing is so damaging that is puts a lot of youth on the
road to perdition.
Thats
why Our Lady had to come in 1981, before the fax machine which came around
1987, to get rooted! Because She wouldnt be able to get their attention right
now. Im going to tell you now, if Our Lady appeared today and began
Medjugorje, She could forget it. There are so many
people in Medjugorje with their phones and what theyre doing and preoccupied
and distracted that they cant be penetrated. You cant reach them.
These
things are so dangerous that one recent study showed that the mere presence of
a cell phone diminished the quality of conversation. Thats a study. Im not
making that up. Just the presence of it. Not even being on it. And this
objective experience of trust to each other. They lose trust. They lose also
empathy, the closeness between the two people, and having discussions of
meaningful topics. They cant penetrate it. They cant not enter
into that just with it there.
Nicholas
Carada, PhD, says, Were social animals and we
think technology is a panacea thats going to keep us connected. But depression
rates are sky rocketing. Thats another big thing. The youth are in deep
depression. You may see them laugh or have fun or discussion, but theyre
depressed. And this is showing up everywhere right now. Nicholas says, Weve
been sold the false narrative thats connecting us. Weve been lulled by how
amazing these devices are, but we didnt fully vet the dark side. These
are the pros. These are people who are looking at
these things.
We
know that hyperstimulation is affected by smartphones and it harms your sleep
quality. An article called Get Synched says, Many of us go to bed
with our phones beside us making it easy to succumb to the blue glow of the
screen until we close our eyes. This blue light disrupts the circadian rhythms
tricking our bodies into thinking its daytime which leads to sleep
disturbances. Add the temptation to check your phone during the night and you
have the ingredients of a poor nights rest. And what happens after that
with a poor nights rest? The Professor Kohler whos quoting this says, We
power down our devices so they can reboot, but we need to do the same for
ourselves.
We
are deceived. And if this is doing this to adults, what is it doing to
children? I really physically get nauseated when were
out somewhere or at a restaurant and they give a little iPod or a little phone
to a kid, sometimes two years old, three years old. They are immediately
silenced. They go into this state of a trance. And theyre no problem for mommy
and daddy until theyre 15 and they want to end their life
or they get on drugs or they go crazy. This is the abuse, and one of the
greatest abuses taking place, widespread.
I
never do my research; I never write anything through a computer. All my
writings, all the books, all through the years, is all written by pen. Often, I
run the ink right out of the pen in a few days. All these thick books, They
Fired the First Shot was all handwritten. I dont want to be on a computer.
Why? Because its a distraction for me. Intuitively I know that because between
me and the writing is a system, and this thing thats printing, that when it
goes down or some kind of glitch happens in the computer, I have to disengage
what Im thinking about and how to figure this stupid thing out. I say stupid
because I think theyre stupid in a lot of ways. You say, Well, we use them
here. Yes, we do. I dont, and you shouldnt on serious stuff. But that
does not lesson my belief that these things are going to go away. Its part of
whats going to happen. And Ive always felt, reading a book on print, is Gods
way to communicate to us. Yes, we have the top number one Medjugorje site in
the world, the most visited around the world, the most comprehensive, the most
that people stay on the site of all Medjugorje sites of the world. And we do
that to bring people into Medjugorje and to teach them to get away from these
things. They may do information, but we would rather download and read from
paper.
Ann Magan, who is a professor in a university in Norway, says, Screens
encourage people to skip around rather than digest the text from beginning to
end. Scrolling through digital screens consumes more mental resources than
turning a page. Ive never read that before. Nobody has ever told me that.
But, thoughtful men, and being in prayer, fasting, following Our Lady, reading
Her messages, you will know that intuitively. I knew this in my heart. I dont
need the research. But she confirms what I believe. It says that, The eye
strain caused by screens can be distracting to the brain. So, you cant
engage through the screen like you can enter into a
book. And theres nothing more warm, more enjoyable,
then sitting down with a book and reading it. She goes on and talks about, Theres
a growing body of research that shows we simply pay more attention to words and
images on paper. Thats pretty profound. Magan says, Text on paper has physicality and special
extensions that are easily accessible. With her colleague she says that
the published findings of the International Journal of Education Research
quote, When you read a printed book, you can see how long it is and even
visualize where certain passages fall. Its like having a map with landmarks to
track the narrative. Astounding stuff. In other words, youre seeing
peripheral in front, behind, what youre reading. You know whats coming, you
know where its going up and down, you can see the landmarks, youve got a
narrative. You know where its going. But that doesnt show up on the screen.
Why are these people coming up with these things?
Ruth
read earlier about digital dementia with children. The America Academy of Pediatrics and Spitzer, who was quoted in that, says he
recommends this, Use print media. This is a different group from Norway but theyve got the same conclusion. He says, Use
print media rather than tablets or smartphones for reading to give your child a
break from looking at screens. Pediatric
Associate is saying this? How come you cant even reason this out? You should
already know these things. But see, its too appetizing, its too consoling, it
brings peace in the house, everybody becomes silent, but they become unsocial. From
looking at screens, studies have shown that reading print materials also boost
reading comprehension. So, were not comprehending. Our Lady uses that
word often. January 25, 1987, back then She says, You cant comprehend how
great your role is in Gods design. How much less can we now with all
these things that surround us? Were bombarded all day long with this,
everywhere.
The
list continues, Practice memorizing things like phone numbers and passwords
instead of letting technology track them. You ask somebody for their phone
number, I dont know it. Let me look it up. Its right in your hand.
Most people dont have numbers. They dont have to remember anything. What
happens when that goes away? Whats going to happen when GPS goes away? GPS
went down on the eastern seaboard, what happened? I wasnt in the States, I just heard a little bit about it. Explain it real quick.
[REYES]
It
was just the other day. The Delta flights were grounded on the eastern seaboard
because the GPS system was down.
[A
FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
How
long was that?
[REYES]
I
think about an hour or so.
[A
FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
Millions
and millions of dollars that went out, how many missed flights. We are in such
a delicate thin-ice situation that when God snaps His fingers, its gone. Is
God going to do that out of meanness? No. Hes going to do it out of love
because its a false idol. Our Lady said that. Your false idols. What
do you think Our Lady meant when She said, lying voices? These little
boxes hold voices all day long. And She called them false glitter.
Its an idol. So, we know its going to pass because it replaces God. Two old
women on an airplane didnt have the time to think about God through a
nine-hour flight. They played with this stupid thing constantly instead of just
reading a good book or something that can be consoling to your heart or your
intellect. It tells you for your children to, use puzzles and games such as
Chess and Scrabble that promote real time problem solving rather than games
that let the computer do your thinking. See, you dont have to think
today. And because you dont have to think today, when you go hire these
people, and even adults, they dont know how to think. They were never taught
that. And its getting worse.
The
next suggestion is, Create screen free zones where no digital technology is
allowed, like dinner table and your childs bedroom. How about a better
suggestion than that? Just get rid of it. No children should have these things.
No teenagers should have it. But see, youve accepted it because you follow the
culture, you let it drag you along through the wave of the tsunami where were
going. The next one is, Ensure your child gets enough outdoor play and
physical exercise. We dont do that here; it just happens. Its natural
they get exercise. You just create an environment where those things arent
there. The kids have energy. They are made to play with each other. Through my
observations here and watching the children, I often have said that the best
toy a child can have is another child. You cant get on the floor for hours.
They can. And you know what happens when their batteries run out? They fall
asleep. We see them fall asleep on the carpet in the auditorium. And then they
wake back up and they start again. Theyre regenerated. And theyre healthy
mentally, physically, and they sleep good at night.
Another
one, Allow unstructured play time which is critical for learning, problem
solving, and skills, and fostering creativity. Ive already answered that
before about the comment about the kids just playing. Develop creativity by
offering your child musical instruments, art supplies, physical toys that spark
their imagination. This is almost like kindergarten. Why do we even have
to say this? This is so common sense, so simple. And yet, were having to put
out papers from universities to tell parents, This is what you need to do.
And lastly, Encourage your child and form them to develop hobbies that
arent related to digital media.
And
it goes on. So what are these experts and executives
and CEOs from Silicone Valley, what are they saying? Chris Anderson, CEO of
Robotics and Drone Company, 3DR, said to the New York Times, My kids
accuse me and my wife of being fascist and overly concerned about tech. And
they say that none of their friends have the same rules. Thats because weve
seen the dangers of technology first-hand. See, theyre at the top of the
food chain. They know what this stuff does. They know what the companies are
doing. So, this CEO, thats what hes done and he sees
it. And its amazing what he goes on and says, Thats because we have seen
the dangers of technology first-hand. Ive seen it in myself. I dont want to
see what happens to my kids. On the scale between candy and crack cocaine, its
closer to crack cocaine. Take that to the bank. Hes part of the system
and hes confessing.
Former
president of Facebook Sean Parker says, speaking at a conference, he says, The
thought process that went into building these applications, Facebook, being the
first of them, was all about how do we consume as much of your time and
conscious attention as possible? And he ends this quote saying, God
only knows what its doing to our childrens brains. This is a profession
that there is something happening very devastating to our childrens brain, but
only God knows where this is going to end up, and how deep its happening. We
just know the peripherals of it.
The
former executive assistant of Facebook Athenia Cavera, now whos currently executive assistant of Zuckerbergs
philanthropy arm said in 2018 to the New York Times, I am convinced
the devil lives in our phones. Did you hear what she said? Thats means
possessed! If the devil lives in the phones, then something dark is in that.
And keep in mind her position with Facebook and Zuckerberg. I am convinced
the devil lives in our phones and is wreaking havoc on our children. This
one quote is enough for me as a parent to make sure any youth not have these things. Forget about what their friends have.
Let them rebel against it. Dont be in a gray zone.
Teach them, Were not going to have it. Its not part of our life. Well,
my friends have it. Well they do, they can do what they want. But, youre not putting them in the gray
zone. Youre showing black and white. Dont cross this line. Were not going to
do that. They may not like it. But for you who have young children, dont even
ever let them get on it. You yourself needs to be the witness. And who is Time
Cook, Reyes?
[REYES]
Tim
Cook is the current president of Apple.
[A
FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
Oh!
The big Apple. I want to tell you real quick, go do
research on Apple and how it got its name and where it came from back in the
50s. The first guy who cracked the ability to create a computer that comes
from this guy. And look what happened. He was an abominable, and he poisoned an
apple, and he took a bite out of it to end his life.
So,
you may question that and do a facts check on that and
say, Oh! Well, Steve Jobs didnt name it because of that. Its because hes
around apple orchards and all these kinds of stories. Well, it was some of his
partners that came up with the name. Well, thats true in the physical
world. But the physical world is driven and is led by
the spiritual world. So, if you go look at the spiritual world, youll find
exactly what Im saying. And thats how you see the fingerprint of satan. And the first Apple computer sold, how much money?
How much money, Reyes? Say it.
[REYES]
$666.66
[A
FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
Woah,
woah, woah, woah. You mean to tell me 666 of Revelation? You remember its got
the apple of Eve biting that, and we had death? And this guy who cracked the
secrets to start computers, I think its the 50s, poisons the apple, and takes
a bite out of it. And Steve Jobs names it the Apple. He had to know the origin
of that! And if he did know the origin of that, satan
inspired it.
So,
now that youve heard the price, and if you do have any doubts that this comes
back from the abominable, the apple, instead of what a facts check may tell
you, oh, its just from Steve Jobs and his buddies, how do you end up $666?
Theres no chance! Our Lady said, Theres nothing by chance. And then
they emphasized dot the cents, 66. So weve got $666.66, or 66 cents. Theres
no way that the spiritual realm didnt guide these names and the price and many
things in the computer world.
satan
leaves his fingerprint; Our Lady leaves Her fingerprint. Were in an epic
situation. Go research the story. It is unbelievable, and at the same time,
fascinating and revealing of what this other lady Athenia
said, Im convinced that the devil lives in our phones and is wreaking
havoc on our children. This is not for a good purpose. Its for a damning
purpose, to send many people to perdition.
So,
Tim Cook, as quoted in the Guardian 2018, Apple CEO, I dont have a
kid, but I have a nephew that I put some boundaries on. There are some things
that I wont allow. I dont want them on social networks. He didnt say
some of them. He didnt say limit the time. I dont want them on a social
network. Think about that. Contemplate these things. I didnt learn these
things to stay away from it, from these quotes. I knew it through the messages
and through prayer and through fasting. Have an aversion to these things. And
Ill tell you, and I confess that. I have an aversion to these things. They are
horrible. Im speaking about the smartphones and cell phones and how theyre
used.
So,
former Apple senior vice president Tony Fidel says, and actually
he was one of the major developers of the iPod and the iPhones. On
Twitter, he said, Apple watches Google phones, Facebook, Twitter. Theyve
gotten so good at getting us to go for another click, another dopamine hit,
they now have a responsibility and need to start helping us to track and manage
our digital addition across all usages. Tony Fidel, who I just quoted, he
says, When it comes to digital nourishments, we dont know what a vegetable
or a protein or a fat is. In other words, we see these things on the cans.
It tells you what this is. This is protein, this is fat. Hes saying, as far as
digital, nobodys putting a label on it. He says, What is overweight? What
is underweight? What does a healthy, moderate, digital life look like?
Hes making an incredible point. He continues and says, I think that
manufacturers and app developers need to take on this responsibility before the
government regulators decide to step in. Thats what all this research is
coming to. Theyre going to have to label these things because its dangerous
for your health, mental health, your depression, your life, happiness,
everything.
He
says, Decide to step in as with nutritional labeling.
Interestingly, he says, we already have digital detox clinics, with
s, in the United States. I didnt know that. And he continues, I have
friends, with an s, I have friends who have sent their children to them.
What in the world are we doing? He continues, But we need basic tools to
help us before it comes to that. It already is that. Reddits co-founder
Alex Ohanian says, My wife and I both want our daughter to be bored.
Why would somebody say it like that? Our kids here are never bored because we
let them be bored. We dont give them anything. Theyre out there playing with
the dirt. They create things. When they get bored, they learn, and then they
start being creative.
But
anyways, he says and continues, My wife and I both want to know what its
like to have limits on technology. So well be
regulating her screen time pretty heavily. So, the quote is a little bit
vague, but what they mean through boredom, theyre going to find something to
do instead of just being bored. And thats healthy.
Youve
got another one, Facebook senior executive, Shammoth Palahapatia, says something profound. There is no
screen time whatsoever for my children. Theyre not even given the
opportunity to the kids. Does that not speak to you for all your nieces, your grandchildren,
your own children, your adult children? Does this speak to you? And,
appropriately, to be a last quote, because were the generation where all this
came about, former Google product manager and former Facebook engineer leader
Justin Rosenstein says, It is very common for humans to develop things with
the best of intentions and for them to have unintended negative consequences.
In other words, anytime you create something, there are positives for it, but
there are always negative consequences. And he goes on and says, One reason
I think it is particularly important for us to talk about this, now, is that we
may be the last generation that can remember life before what we have now.
Thats profound. Do you realize what hes saying? Weve got people so grown up
with this now that theres going to be people, Hey, what was it like before
people flew, before the airplane? The last vestige of people on the earth
that knew life before it.
But
thank God Our Lady is here. What is She here for? Because Shes going to bring
us back these things. This is all secular stuff, all the reports, everything
theyre talking about, that this is a bad thing. Its not good. And its not
leading to a good path. And its amazing that its the highest people in the
industry saying these things. Oh yeah, some of them are completely in love with
it, but if theyre honest they wouldnt be.
So,
we have this situation with Our Lady. She says September 2, 2010 what we need
to do, of what this time is. What is it? She says, Dear children, I am
beside you because I desire to help you to overcome trials Whats the
trial? Being associated, embracing, accepting, tolerating, things that
everything is falling apart, everything is passing, only the glory of God
remains. So, weve got evidence secularly these things arent glorifying God.
Our Lady has never spoken about technology and using it. Our Lady speaks in
agrarian terms, nature, seeds, harvest, waves in the ocean. Shes speaking all
about nature, something so prevalent in our daily life She doesnt even mention
it. Thats a statement right there. Im here, She
says, I desire to help you to overcome trials, which this time of
purification puts before you We are going and will go and continue into
purification of all that is not of God.

So
many of these things come under what the cardinal told me. Many good people are
doing bad things. Its not that youre bad, or its not that youre doing
wicked things, but were doing some bad, bad things. Bad decisions. And a lot
of it is based in selfishness because it takes more effort. And sometimes its
necessary to draw the land in the sand that we dont cross over this. We have to come into a new life. Our Ladys calling us to it.
And shes made it very clear that if you dont begin this now, in the Time of
Grace, you will deeply regret it and have great difficulties to changing over
to where you have to live that you didnt choose to in the time you could have
done it.
Advance
yourself into the future through the messages. Read our materials even if
youve read them before. Read it again and it will speak to you.
We
wish you Our Lady. We love you. Goodbye.
