Not everything happening with Medjugorje and the Church is necessarily good. A Friend of Medjugorje shares how satan can creep in and disrupt the plans of Our Lady in this way, and in keeping Her apostles from doing what they are supposed to do.

[REYES]
And you are
listening to Radio Wave broadcasting from the Radio Wave studio at
Caritas, Alabama. A Friend of Medjugorje is joining us from the holy village of
Medjugorje. And so, first we will hear a short message from a Friend of
Medjugorje speaking to us about the message Our Lady gave earlier today which
will be followed by an encounter with the BVM Caritas pilgrim group which
happened also earlier today.
And so,
joining us from the Radio Wave studio in the Caritas Mission House in
Medjugorje, here is a Friend of Medjugorje.
[A FRIEND
OF MEDJUGORJE]
Today is
the 38th anniversary of the apparitions. Is that important? Or is
37, 36, 35, 25, why is this important? Because were counting down the clock.
Twenty-four months from today we will enter into the 40th year of
the apparitions. Thats a Biblical number. Ive been telling you this since the
10th anniversary that thats how long these apparitions would go.
And nobody had the idea, or rather they were scared to say it because they
didnt understand it. I saw it through the messages. And we need to be
preparing ourselves. We need to be aware of what is happening in these next
months. Its not a tea party. It is something profound. It is war. It is
hatred. I told our group today that Medjugorje is a prefigurement
of Armageddon.
And what
happened today? Our Lady validated everything Im saying to you, that were in
a moment to be prepared for something thats coming. The feast day of June 25,
honoring the first apparitions have typically been short, and todays was a
little bit longer than normal. But the power of it is very significant in what
Shes telling us. These words youre about to hear should stun you and put you
in a disposition that, I need to be ready. I need to be contemplating. I need
reevaluate my walk with Medjugorje.
[RUTH]
Our Lady
Queen of Peace of Medjugorjes June 25, 2019 monthly message to the world.
Dear
children! I am thanking God for each of you. In a special way, little children,
thank you for having responded to my call. I am preparing you for the new times
that you may be firm in faith and persevering in prayer, so that the Holy
Spirit may work through you and renew the face of the earth. I am praying with
you for peace which is the most precious gift, even though satan
wants war and hatred. You, little children, be my extended hands and proudly go
with God. Thank you for having responded to my call.
[A FRIEND
OF MEDJUGORJE]
Im working
on a writing that came from one of the Radio Wave broadcasts. It starts
off saying, New life. Our Lady said today in Her 25th message, new
times. So, starting off new life, Our Lady is calling us to it, and She
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 in changing over to where you
have to live what you did not choose to do in the time of grace when you could
have done it. And I continue with this statement, Advance yourself into the
future through the messages. Read our materials even if youve read them
before, read them again. They will speak to you. Unquote.
Why is this
important? Why is what Our Lady saying today important? Because with August 25,
1997, Our Lady said, God gives me this time Our Lady said today, I
am preparing you for the new times Going back to the 1997 message, Our
Lady says, now you do not comprehend this grace, but soon a time will come
when you will lament for these messages And this is what I was referring
to on the writing that Im working, where it says, If you dont change,
youre going to regret it. In other words, you can lament because the
difficulties of changing over how to live what you should do but you didnt
choose in the time of grace when you could have done it.
Thats
going to cause some lamentations. Going back to todays anniversary message, I
am thanking God for each of you She starts this way. How? In a
special way, little children, thank you for having responded to my call
Thats a typical message that She says, at the end of the messages. Never at
the beginning. What do you do when you thank people at the beginning of
something, when you start announcing it? Say its a football team, its sports,
you go into the locker room. Ok, you just finished the game, Thank you for
making that happen. Thank you for responding. Your effort was great. You
achieved something. Our Lady is saying, In a special way, little
children, thank you for having responded to my call In other words,
something has been achieved. Something has happened. Something bigger is coming
on the horizon. And Our Lady continues, I am preparing you for the new
times that you may be firm in faith and persevering in prayer
Were on
the verge of everything, everything weve worked for. In 24 months, the 40th
year is going to bring things to a light, and yet people still arent getting
on board. After She says today, persevering in prayer, She says,
quote, so that the Holy Spirit may work through you and renew the face of
the earth That is a bombshell! That is Biblical. Come Holy Spirit,
fill the hearts of the faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Your love.
Send forth Your Spirit, and they shall be created, and You shall renew the face
of the earth. She said that. Who else said that? Where else can we find
that? We can find it in the Psalms, in the Bible, 104. Biblically. Verse 30. When
you send your spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth.
Wow. Wow.
Do you
realize what is happening in our midst? Do you know what youre seeing unfold
and one time She used that word was unfolding, a great battle between My Son
and satan. What does Our Lady say in this message
today? She encompasses everything. Shes touched on the whole thing. This is an
outline of Her 38 years. I am praying with you for peace which is the most
precious gift, even though satan wants war and
hatred And that goes back to what I just talked about, August 2, the war
between Her and satan.
The
composition of this message stretches from June 24, 1981 to June 25, 2019,
today. What a span. And what a beautiful profound outline that we receive from
the Queen of Peace here in Medjugorje. And you dont want to pay attention?
Youre too busy? Youre going this way, youre going that way? You let the
culture tell you what to do and Our Lady is saying to us, way back August 25,
1997, God gives me this time as a gift to you, so that I may instruct and
lead you on the path of salvation And then She goes on what Ive already
quoted. Youre going to lament because youre not going to be ready. And today
She says be ready. Thank you for being ready. For all you being ready, I
am preparing you for the new times that you may be firm in faith and
persevering in prayer, so that the Holy Spirit may work through you and renew
the face of the earth
Do you
realize what Shes saying? Do you understand and comprehend how big this is? We
are talking about a second Pentecost. We only had one in the Church. Were
going to have something equal to that, a second descending of the Holy Spirit.
She put it in Her words today. She put it back in 1997, youre going to lament
when this happens because youre not ready. And Shes thanking us at the very
beginning, which is not only abnormal to put it at the beginning but its also
a good sign that something has been achieved. You made it. And my question to
you, have you made it?
So, another
question to you, are you going to be the one that loses the most precious gift
through satan, what he wants, which is war and
hatred, Our Lady said today? We are not to be apologizing. We are not to be
ashamed to be incited with God and confront people. It is over. There is no
more silence. We confront. You, little children, be my extended hands and
proudly go with God We are to march forward from this moment. This message is
a big message. Im telling you. There are messages that I use as a keystone for
all the other messages, and this is it. This uncovers so many things yet its
so simple and yet that is the wisdom of the messages. And its beyond
intellectualism because theyre too smart for it, they think. And actually,
theyre not smart enough for it. Thats the problem.
So I leave
you with this from this holy land, Our Ladys Jerusalem, mentioning a few
things to spark and energize you to be active. No more quietism. No more being
stopped because somebodys trying to block it whether its your parish priest,
other people, lay people, because Our Lady is saying to move forward. Youve
got your marching orders.
proudly go with God And so, what does it mean when Our Lady
said, I am preparing you for the new times That means the present
times, the modernism, the consumerism, the tech devices, all these things, are
under indictment. Were going to come into a different time. So, I leave this
briefing with the words, Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful,
and enkindle in them the fire of Your love. Send forth your spirit, and they
shall be created, and You shall renew the face of the earth. It is a
guarantee. And Im telling you, we are on the verge of a second Pentecost. You
decide if you want to be active or on the sidelines. Active, youll be proud
that you gave your hands to God. On the sidelines, you will be lamenting tears
and sorrow. And I leave you with those words.
[REYES]
And that
was the very short message that we received earlier from a Friend of Medjugorje
about the monthly message that we received through Marija. Now we join a Friend
of Medjugorje in his encounter with the BVM Caritas Pilgrimage group in
Medjugorje.
[A FRIEND
OF MEDJUGORJE]
Fr. Hosier
is the ambassador, whatever you want to say, for the Vatican to come to
Medjugorje and open the doors for it. It needs to be done, which, hes done
that. And I want to start off with that because its pertinent to what were
going to talk about a little bit today. But he said, quote, Medjugorje will
not be stopped. So, hes speaking on behalf of the Vatican when he says
that, because he was sent for that. And Im saying these things because I wrap
it up at the end of this that you are not to be stopped. He says, This,
referring to Medjugorje itself. He says, This movement will not stop and
should not be stopped because of the good fruit that grows out of it.
There are
two things to see, or two perspectives to see on Medjugorje. He called it a
movement. They say from here its a movement. This is not a movement. A
movement has a time of the life of the movement last and then it goes away, or
it peaks out somewhere. This is not that. So, Im not contradicting Hosier, but
Ive got 32 years of cognition. This is not just another apparition. This is
not another movement. Fatima has teetered out because it gave way to
Medjugorje. John the Baptist did the same thing. He peaked out, but not like
Jesus, but he prepared for that.
So, we have
prophetic apparitions just like the prophets preparing for Jesus Christs
coming. And when Jesus Christ came, that was the peak. This is the peak. And
its not a movement. Its a mistaken statement to say that. People say, Whats
the big deal? A movement is something thats passing. You move and it goes
and it has a strength, it builds. You may move changing from places where you
are. But Our Lady is not here for that. This is movement verses moment. This is
the moment. So, movement verses moment. Moment is Biblical. Moment means, The
most minute and indivisible part of time, an instant, force, impulse of power,
important in influence or effort, consequences, weight, and value.
The
consequences of Medjugorje are not going away. Its not something we join. A
lot of good things came out of Fatima, the Blue Army, different rosary groups,
the marriage things that they got through Fatima. But so many movements have
come out of that, a lot of them have died out. Medjugorjes moment is
continuous because it is for the preparation of the Second Coming. And it has
to get embedded in the ground, putting dirt over the seed, and it sprouts and
grows into a mighty tree, and that tree will give fruit until the end of time
for those people who have to go through the anti-Christ.
I dont
personally believe its going to be 1,000 years from now because as we said the
last couple of three days is that man does not forget what he invents. He may
be knocked backwards, but hell come back. He knows what electricity is. He
knows what the digital things are. Hell come back to that. But for us to have
a peace, a period of peace which Our Lady promised in 2000, 1999 December, is
the opportunity for a century of peace for you. And we thought that was the
turn of the century. We realize now, at the end of 2017, the 100th
anniversary, satans power has been broken.
And She did
say at 2000, right there on January 1, the beginning of the millennium,
something that contradicts and supports that satans
power continued. We thought that what She said that 1999, in December, right
before the change in the millennium, that satans
century would be over. But through prayer and seeing now, 1917 to 2017, we see
everything starts happening. If you go back and see what ever changed around.
From the politics, from the situation, it changed October 13, 2017.
So, where
do we go with that? I called Marija because I was told she was on the mountain
that night, Cross Mountain, and Our Lady appeared to her, January 1, 2001, at
the turn of the millennium. And Our Lady said, Now that when satan is unchained, consecrate yourself to my heart and the
Sacred Heart of Jesus. So, I happened to be in California, Colorado,
somewhere, with my whole family, and I called Marija. I said, Marija.
I said, We thought satan was unchained. What
happened last night on the mountain, what it said? She said, Our Lady
said, Now that when satan is unchained, consecrate
yourself to me and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, my heart. And when I told
her, I thought he had already been unchained. She said, No. he had
big chain. Now the chain is cut. So, he was released.
And what
happened in 2000? Everything broke loose, from the Twin Towers and weve been
going downhill real quick, rapid. We would never think, even in 2000, people
would be running over people with trucks, cars, bombs, killing themselves. The
hatred, the family where it is now, all these things, we never would have
dreamed of this. So, satan has been wreaking havoc
for us.
So, its
important for you to understand that is not a movement. This is a moment. Our
Lady said in the 90s, This is a particular time. And of course, you know
the message we promote always, This is Her time. She said, Thisis
my time We have to take that in the context of what Fatima was about.
Preparation for the time of when She was going to walk the earth. And todays
38 years of that. So you have to put these things together to understand it
because Hosier goes on and says this, Medjugorje is a light in a world
going down into darkness. He says, quote, You can say to the whole
world that there is a light with Medjugorje, and we need these spots of light
in the world that are going down into darkness. So friends, be carriers of this
joyful news. I would change that, Be carriers of these joyful
messages. They still wont say that. They still dont want to accept that.
You say, Well, he doesnt know. He doesnt. Hes new to Medjugorje.
The
messages are the fundamental foundation of what is taking place here. It is the
map. It is the Pentagon plan for this Armageddon, a prefigurement
of Armageddon, of a war in a world that is at war with God. August 2, 1981, Our
Lady said, A great struggle is about to unfoldbetween my Son and satan. Human souls are at stake. Thats a declaration
of a war. It wasnt even happening at that moment. Yes, there were battles and
there were people going into perdition and Heaven and purgatory. But, She said,
about to unfold Jesus is declaring war through His Mother, and She
gave that declaration.
She comes
up in 1987, Dear children, the first monthly message, foundation
message for the month, 12 times a year, Behold! I call you to a new life as
of today. If Our Lady said those words, She means that. We are going to
live different. Were not. Weve been going downhill since 1987. So, when you
say the word behold, thats a proclamation. I want you to pay attention to my
words. This is not simple. This is something very strong that must be
deciphered through meditation, contemplate, and struggle to comprehend. Behold,
as of today I call you to live a new life. And we have looked for years.
Because She kept saying the plan, the plan, the plan, the plan. The plans Jesus
has, the plans I have, the plans that God has. And finally She revealed it on
that first message. And She said, God wants to use you. If you go up
to a person and say, Im going to use you. No, youre not going to use
me. Nobody likes to be used. But when God says it, Yes. Use me. God
wants to use you for a great plan.
I know
where I was. It was a Kennedy moment. It was the second locations of Caritas.
We had four different locations that we moved to two or three years because we
got expanded and growing beyond what we could have in the offices we had. So,
Im standing there reading that and it says, A great plan for the salvation
of the world. So, that puts into context, this is bigger than we can
imagine in what your role is because youre going to be used. And Our Lady goes
on and says that, You cannot comprehend the greatness of your role.
Therefore, you pray to see what Gods design is for you. Everyone is
inducted to this, everybody is invited to become an apostle, but not everybody
is going to let themselves be inducted. And not everybody is going to let
themselves be an apostle. Because they put limits on God. They just go so far
because God starts asking you to give up things that you have a struggle with
because it chokes you. Its difficult. And some, and many, really dont do it.
They dont want to do it.
I met a
priest, I was with him for a week. He knew we were Medjugorje people. He never
said anything about Medjugorje. Were riding in the car and he comes out and
says, Oh, Ive been to Medjugorje. We said, Weve been with you a
week! You never told us that. Why? He said, Well, I dont pay any
attention to it. Why Father, why not? He said Because Our Lady asked
for fasting, and I dont want to fast. This is a priest. Hes been here.
So not everybody will accept, and youll get a certain point where, Ill do
this for You. Ill do this for You. But then it comes choke time. And when
that happens, its not easy to follow Our Lady but you have to to be an apostle. So not everybodys going to make it as an
apostle. When they say, Be carriers of this joyful news, its tippy
toeing. Just say it! Its Our Lady who said, Spread my messages. Nice
day, huh?
There was
an exorcism going on and this priest was doing this exorcism, and the demoniac
was fighting constantly against the priest and it took him two hours. And he
finally got him on his knees because he was in front of the Blessed Sacrament
and he wanted to be prostrated. And he worked on this guy with holy water, oil,
salt, praying, another couple of priests were with him. He finally got him on
his knees, then he got him on all fours, then he got him laying down and his
nose was on the floor. And the demoniac says, This is nice carpet down
here. He didnt want to admit he was in front of the Blessed Sacrament.
Im down here looking at this carpet. Im not down here because youre making
me be in front of Jesus.
So, you can
pass Our Ladys words and what She was saying. If these messages arent
important, why is Our Lady saying this? Are we just supposed to carry the good
news? Or are we supposed to carry the messages and not be ashamed of them or
not be trying to hide them or being political or trying to make this get
approved. Because even the people who want to approve it will try to make it be
approved. Im not interested in that. To me thats being an apostate. I laid
Medjugorje over and over and over on the guillotine because I believe in Our
Ladys apparitions and I got condemned by the whole Medjugorje world. There were 150, 160 Medjugorje centers. They
were furious when I wrote to John Paul about the Poem of the Man-God
because its on the Index. Its been condemned. And Our Lady told Marija, You
can read these books. So I wrote to John Paul and I said, The whole
world is being split right now. We need a shepherds voice. We are a Medjugorje
community. The Virgin Mary told Marija we can read these books. Its been on
the Index. We need a shepherds voice. John Paul turns it to the Italian
conference of bishops. They ruled on it. It goes back to my bishop. I wrote to
Ratzinger. Through Ratzinger back to my bishop.
My bishop
calls me, hes so excited. He didnt know I did that. It took eleven months to
get this. He said, You got a letter from the Holy Father. Its Church
history. And he said, You can read these. You just cannot declare them
supernatural. Which Im fine with that because everything starts off, and
building up a following, which sensus fidelium. The people, in the end, prove it. So, I was ok
with that. But the repercussions of that, how dare you put that jeopardy of
Medjugorje because saying that, when something is on the Index. See, I didnt
care. I knew and I verified with Marija, I know Our Lady said it, and I know
Our Ladys appearing. And I wasnt worrying about consequences.
Dont weigh
our consequences to being an apostle. You just do it, and when you do it, its
a negative, almost every case, but its like the coyote on the road runner, the
cartoon. Theyre jumping and all fighting and the road runner steps out of the
fight, and theyre still fighting. And that happened over and over and over.
People got to fighting. I was in the middle of it. I stepped out and they
started fighting each other. If you want to be somebody to Our Lady to be used,
you cannot worry or consider the consequences. If you know Shes calling you to
do something, you do it.
A reporter
asked me once, You pulled your kids out of sports, your kids. You do this
with your kids or do that. Dont you think thats a bad thing? I said, No.
Im doing what I know Im supposed to be doing through prayer. And she was
objecting to it. Not just as a reported, just on her opinion. Our kids are more
athletic than most of the kids out there playing sports. When youre dealing
with bulls and horses and climb trees. And youve got the altar in front of the
Tabernacle, weve got three year old, four year old kids in front of that. They
may fall, they may break their arm, but they learn not to do it next time. They
know how to hold on.
So, these
things come in front of you that youll be asked by Our Lady to do that will be
negative consequences but will turn out into a positive for you. Our Lady says,
Turn every negative into a positive. So, here it is, Our Lady, about
the messages, are we just supposed to be carriers of the news? Do we want
generic so nobody gets ruffled about it? Our Lady said September 2, 2015, my
dear apostles of love, my carriers of truth Not of Good News. Carriers of
truth. She says eleven times, I. I. I. I. I am calling you and
gathering you around me to help me Can you imagine that? See, Shes handcuffed.
She can raise Her arms during apparition. She can pray. She can make the sign
of the cross. But with you, Shes handcuffed. Why? Because you are Her extended
hands. Thats what She claimed in Italy when Marija and I were together.
You be my
extended hands. What She does has to be performed through you. I
am calling you and gathering you around me to help me, to help all of my
children who thirst for love and truthI am a grace from the Heavenly FatherI
lived your earthly life Four. I know that it is noteasy Five.
I again. I, your mother, am waiting for you there Shes talking
about Heaven. Because I am there Seventh time. I am with you. I
will help you. I will teach you faithI will teach you truthI will teach you
love You dont just carry apparition and Our Ladys doing these things.
You carry the word because She carried the flesh. And the Word was made Flesh.
She is the cover of the Bible. She was wombed and
clothed with God. Dont wait on everybody else. Dont weigh out consequences.
So, Shes
in the wind. But that means trouble for you if Shes here. So, it goes on the
official status of early apparitions were real. The devotion of Medjugorje is
allowed. It is not prohibited and need not be done in secret. So we dont have
to be quiet anymore. This is from the Vatican. This is the spokesman for
Francis. But I disagree with one thing. The devotion of Medjugorje is allowed.
We dont want devotion here. Why? Because we have it at Fatima. We have it at
Guadalupe. We have it at all these places. But those places originally were
places of conversion. This place must stay a place of conversion, not devotion.
Too good? Devotion? And conversion. Which would satan
settle for? Just devotion. he hates conversion more than even devotion.
This place
is for conversion and nobody here sees this. Thats why weve got you out here.
For conversion. And conversion, Our Lady says, is a process that will last your
entire lifetime. You will be converting to your last breath. So dont let
anybody say, Oh, I love the devotion there. We have a lot of people
come here, just go to the church, they stay in the pancions,
theyre not going on the mountains, theyre just doing Adoration and all these
things. Thats nice. But we can do that at home too. These paths, these
mountains, this grace, is for conversion. This place is not to be for just
coming and doing devotion. You go to Guadalupe, you see the Mexicans, and
theyve got their kids, and theyve got holy water on a rag, and theyre going
all over the kids with it. Its devotion. Its really beautiful what they do,
but at the same time, we want conversion. This place cannot be redefined. And satan will redefine it with light. Because he doesnt want
conversion. The world needs conversion. It doesnt need devotion. Conversion
allows the devotion to come there. Im devoted to Our Lady. But today, when I
wake up, I have to convert. Every day, at every moment of the day. Not a
movement. But a moment.
So, I
wanted to cover that, first of all so you can do whatever you want to do with
Medjugorje. Youre going to get resistance. But dont think and to put this
place as devotion. Im not going to fly over here just to pray. Im coming here
to get something else. And its available. And its available for devotion
because they want to define it because we want to make it where there are no
bumps in the road. Dont sit there and write the Vatican about a book thats on
the Index, is condemned, and put Medjugorje on the guillotine. I didnt have any
problem with it.
You
wouldnt believe the firestone I had. I mean, I was hated. You risk the whole
Medjugorje world. Because the pope, or the Italian bishops, could have
condemned Medjugorje if Our Lady said read these books and the Church says you
cant because its on the Index. Apostates is what I call them! When they
confront it, youre an apostate! You dont believe Our Lady is appearing! Dont
come to me about your garbage! And dont you dare stop me because Im not
stopping. And thats the kind of people Our Lady is looking for. Not arrogant,
not boastful or haughty, but you stand your ground. You have been on holy
ground.
So, that
said, Our Lady in 1986 in regard to a question about Church approval of the
apparitions, Our Lady said, One must follow the authority of the Church
with certainty See, we have to be there. If were going to be obedient to
every jurisdiction, were obedient. Yet, before She expresses an opinion,
it is necessary to advance spiritually Well, if people are telling you
its not approved yet, we cant do anything, how are we going to advance
spiritually if were not doing something about it? If everybody quit coming to
Medjugorje, the Church would drop it. They investigate it because something is
happening, either something false, false apparition, or something real. So, Yet,
before She expresses an opinion, it is necessary to advance spiritually,
because She will not be able to express a judgment in a vacuum So, many
of you, weve been stopped many times.
We had a
scheduled talk one time. We had everything there in the Church, and the bishop
calls up in the Church two hours before and says that I cant speak there. We
had to find a hotel, we had to have people there at that place to reroute them
there. You know what happened? We had probably more people crying at the end of
the talk than we ever had. Why? Because we went through a persecution. We were
rejected by the bishop, rejected by the Church, parish church. And we had to go
to a hotel and Our Lady turboed the grace for these
people. Because people were really upset. Youre not going to lose. When you go
through the gauntlet, youll get more grace. She will not be able to
express judgement in a vacuum, but in a confirmation which presupposes growth
of the child. First comes birth, followed by Baptism, then Confirmation. The
Church comes to confirm him, who is born of God. We must walk and advance in
the spiritual life, affected by these messages.
And the
Church still hasnt caught onto that. And theyre not going to. And theyre not
going because something Our Lady did and made me understand this real clearly.
Im going to let Joan read this. Ill pass this out. Dont read it. Youve
heard it probably before. When I started the mission of Caritas, I was praying
to Our Lady, what is the mission? What are we supposed to do? I evolved into
writing some things and printing things because I knew, the convey Medjugorje,
you cant talk to people. If youre running across the grocery store, a friend
or somebody, you want to give them materials. So, we made Between Heaven and
Earth which is the story of Medjugorje. I worked with ABC, 20/20, their top
producer, and we produced a one-hour audio story of Medjugorje. And hundreds of
thousands of those went out in the first two, three years. Because people wont
sit there and talk to you about Medjugorje for an hour. So we gave those out.
People bought them. They distributed that.
But I was
praying the whole time, what is the mission of Caritas? What do you want me to
do with it? Where am I going with it? The Community didnt exist. And then, of
course, Our Lady came to our house and Marijas come
15 or 20 more times. Weve had almost 200 apparitions there. So it was defined.
But I had been praying, show me, somehow show me what to do as far as the
mission. Now, we had the scandal in the Church at that time. They said in the
70s it was really, really bad, but it was embedded at that time. And it was
prevalent all over the place. And still, even what you hear today, you dont
even hear the tip of the iceberg. We know priests and bishops and people in
different places. Its bad. Very bad.
So, the
scandals that have taken place, you have that, plus many other things. We had
theologians being heretical, all kinds of bad things. You had Mass, they were
doing stupid things in Mass with a clown. A priest would be dressed up as a
clown. All kinds of bad stuff. So, all this is happening in the Church, so Im
praying, what do you want the mission to be? I was in the Field where Our Lady
appeared, and I was by myself. I started saying the Rosary. Weve said the
Rosary every day since 1988 when Our Lady appeared out there, never stopped no
matter what it is, a storm.
Joan and Ruth
had visited. They had gone back. They were coming into the Community at kind of
that phase of getting ready, we hadnt started the Community really. And so I
was by myself out there praying and a thunderstorm hit. And it was pouring down
as hard as it could. And I was kneeling in front of the statue. And Our Lady
gave me what were supposed to do. And I was shocked. It was so long I knew I
couldnt remember this. I ran out of the Field and wrote everything, word to
word. Exactly. But it didnt give meaning of what was written. And so, when I
wrote it down, I knew most of what it said. But I didnt know about the rot in
the Church. And that rotting Church, contaminating other people, the
seminarians coming in, and that rot taking place. And thats just one part of
the problems in the Church.
You dont
get 38 years of apparitions if the Church is healthy. In fact, you dont get
any apparitions, you dont get any angels coming down here. Because if
everythings right, God doesnt have to mess with it. You dont sit there and
start fixing and engine thats perfect, a new car because its fixed, I want to
fix it. What are you going to fix? We have Our Lady because we are very, very
sick. The fact that weve had Her for 38 years tells you the temperature is more
than feverish. Its brain-damaged. And it cannot fix within the Church. So, Im
going to let Joan read this, but this was instantly put on my heart, instantly
I knew it, and it was really like when Marija or Mirjana got their message.
They saw Our Lady talking to them; I had it put in me. And I couldnt repeat it
now. So, this is what I wrote down immediately and in word for word exactly
what was put there. As you hear this, as you read it, be thinking of the
Church. Be thinking of the good priests in the Church. Be thinking about the
bad priests in the Church and whos there and who is the ones that are going to
be the shining lights? Because were not going to rebuild the Church from the
inside.
[JOAN]
Once in a village there was a very old church.
There was a law stating there could be only one church designated on the site
where the church stood. This posed a great problem because the old church was
in a bad state of decline. The old church could not be torn down and rebuilt
because there would be no place to worship during its construction. Therefore,
it was renovated age after age. But there came a time when the very structure
itself became so decayed that it became impossible to make it sound. Nevertheless,
there was no choice but to continually try to make it sound. New beams would be
brought in only to be contaminated by rotted beams attached to it. However, a
few beams, by natures own design, were very hard and were able to resist the
rot. New stones throughout the ages were also laid, some next to stones which
were crumbling and the new stones also became contaminated and crumbled. However,
by natures own design, some stones were very hard and able to resist the rot
even though next to the contaminated beams and stones and these stones gave
some continued strength to the structure.
Some who went to worship in the church were
struck from falling beams or crumbling stones. Some were injured to the point
of saying they would not come back. And, indeed, they and many others left the
church. Those who remained faithful prayed to God and asked, What are we to
do, Lord? Our own church is falling down
upon us. We have continually worked to strengthen it but the church cannot be
rebuilt. There is so much decay. The people were distraught, sad, and in grief
at seeing their centuries-old church going to ruin. Their suffering and tears
moved Gods mercy and a great light shone into the hearts of a few of them.
They met and told the others, God has given a plan to give us a new church. A
great light shone into our hearts and revealed it. Great wonderment of how
this could come about swept through those gathered. The enlightened group
answered, We are to build a foundation around the existing church. By building
around and over the existing church, the original structure would be left in tact so that all can continue to worship while a new,
strong church can be built on this same site around it. Once finished, we will
be able to retrieve the good stones and beams from the old church and build
altars and decorate the inside of the new church.
Indeed, they did as God revealed and a
beautiful church rose up around the old one. The bad material was cast
away. The good beams and stones were
kept making beautiful altars and architectural features on the inside. All
marveled because this was the same church, new, rebuilt from the outside, and
yet the same old church, devoid of the rot. -A Revelation from Our Lady to a
Friend of Medjugorje, 1990.
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
My goal was always to work with the Church, work with the bishops,
submit everything to the priests, get permission for everything. And that was a
turning point for me when this took place, a turning point in realizing that
Our Lady was leading everything. Everybody said, Go
get a spiritual director. I had a priest and
a nun, who wore blue jeans, telling me, You
need to go get a spiritual director. You need to go take theological classes. And I knew people that went to Medjugorje, and they started taking
theological courses, and they stopped their following of Medjugorje. They got
above Medjugorje. This, we
dont need that. Everything Our Lady
pushed me was away from not being inside the Church and that structure, but on
the outside of it. Because the Church is not going to be rebuilt from the
inside. It cant be fixed by just remodeling. It has to be a new Church to be
built over the top of it and then dismantle it. Its going away.
Cardinal Ratzinger said that in 1969. The
Church will be very small but it will grow in influence and it will regain its
power. Were living that. So, youve got
1969, Father Ratzinger, or Bishop, Cardinal Ratzinger, Pope Benedict. He
prophetically said this. And not that he even believed in Medjugorje. So, Our
Lady made that real clear. And thats why Ive stayed out, even when my bishop
invited me to come in, I didnt want to be dealing with all that stuff in the
diocese. You do what youre going to do, Im going to do what I do. That
doesnt mean we dont need our bishops or our priests. We have to have that. We
have to have the sacraments. But, once they start being strong, that structure
thats in there, and theres a structure thats in there. And Ive heard people
in the Vatican say, call it the Vatican mafia. But it always is there. It was
with Jesus apostles. Judas. And even some of His good apostles were working
against Him.
Would you call Pope Francis a demon? Would you call John Paul a devil?
Jesus called Peter a devil. Get behind
me, you satan.
Because he was under the influence of a darkness that did not allow him to see
that He had to go to Jerusalem. And it was difficult enough for Jesus to want
to go there when He says, Pass this
cup if its possible. But Your will, not Mine. He didnt need His own people around here advising Him and saying, Dont go to Jerusalem. Get behind
me, you satan.
Does that mean he was possessed? No. But his thinking was in line with that.
And Jesus was severe. Thats pretty strong stuff for the first pope.
So, Our Ladys here to tell us youre going to rebuild the Church, not
from within, because you cant. Its too permeated with this rot. Thats a hard
thing to digest. And I had no idea about the rot contaminating the stones and
the beams contaminating the new stones and beams coming in. Because they were
next to each other. Our last group here said a seminarian was here and he said,
Well, theyre fixing a lot of
things in the seminary. And I said, I dont buy it. He said, Oh yeah.
They are. He says, What
theyre doing, theyre really being careful now. In other words you cant put your hand on the shoulder of one of the
other guys. Buddies do that! Were under an electric co-op. They had the crew
there, all these electrical guys there. They took a picture of them. They said
these are the guys, the employees of the month. They got their shoulders on
each other. One guys like that. Theyre buddies. Theres something wrong if
you have to make a rule you cant touch another guy in the seminary! That means
its so prevalent, you might incite something. This is ridiculous, beyond
ridiculous. Its demonic. If youve got that going in seminaries, just burn
them down. Just stop. Let the bishop do his own classes and what they used to do.
It used to be, thered be a priest, theyd spend a year with the priest.
Apprenticeship. Thats what we need to go back to if we cant get this rot out.
But Our Ladys here to purge that out. We have a very influenced, very
strong of the devil. The winds gotten louder. Our Lady likes this. Shes
blowing more wind. Shes excited. My wife collects angels, for years. When
Marija came there, we have angels all over the house. We want angels to appear.
We really dont have angels; we have angel hospital because after six boys many
of them are broken and patched up and have their arm broke. But anyway, Our
Lady appeared with three angels. My wife and I, we were so excited. And we
asked Marija all these questions about the angels. What
were they doing? She said that they do
whatever Our Ladys doing. If Our Lady is sad, theyre sad. If Our Lady is
solemn, theyre solemn. If Our Lady is happy, their wings are flapping like
this. And it was just a joy to hear this because they reflect whatever Our Lady
is. Shes excited with this wind. Shes excited that youre getting to hear
this stuff because this chokes you. If you get something that chokes you,
thats going to be good, because you have to figure out what youre going to do
about it.
So, She says January 28, 1987, Whenever I come to you my Son comes
with me, but so does satan hes escorting Her?
hes the limousine driver? hes always going to be there. satan
is in this village. he is here, really, really here. And its not just his
sergeants or generals, hes here, the big chief. but so does satan. You permitted, without noticing, his influences on
you and he drives you on In other words, hes not going to let you know
his appearance. hes not going to let you feel it. hes going to have to give
you something, You come
here. You need to devote. Just stay in the church. Just do everything you can
do back home because its better here. Thats what you came here for. he hates that! But hell take that any day of the week than you start
changing your life.
After Criscio, I grouped with about six guys.
They came out of Mass every day. I was growing. They were cussing, they were
slandering, everything. I got away from them after about a year. They didnt
change their lives. They just added daily Mass, Holy Hour, but there was no
change. What good is Adoration and Mass if its not lived there? Were called
to be a Eucharistic people. That doesnt mean going to Holy Hour. It means
going to Holy Hour and being Eucharistic when youre out! Oh, I go to daily Mass. I had a lady tell me one time, You
dont go to daily Mass. Its a three-hour
thing. We have to go out from the country. We have to get into the traffic. We
got to come back. We cant do that every day. Wed love to. But what you need to do is you need to be
daily Communicants. Well I was for years when I went in town. And some of the worst people I know are daily Communicants. Im not
saying youre bad, but you know that. Are they changing their life?
I met my aunt coming out of the Adoration chapel one day and she, I had to just do my Holy Hour, but your uncle,
hes going to be so mad at me because my house is a wreck. I didnt do that. Jesus doesnt want you there in front of Him. Jesus
wants your state in life to be lived. Im sure she didnt go home and clean it.
Because I know her. And dont edit that. I want her to hear this. So, she says,
Hes just going to be so mad, but
I had to have my Jesus. It isnt a fix! It
isnt about you! Its about Adoration and then sacrifice.
The Mass is sacrifice. Our Lady says, live the Mass How do
you live when you go in there? How do you live it? You live it when you leave
and Mass stays with you all day. You sacrifice all day. You take that Mass and
the grace from it, and you live sacrifice. Thats what its about. And very few
people understand that. And Our Lady was trying to show us this. So, hes going
to, without your notice, hes going to influence you and hes going to drive
you on. Youre not going to clean the house. Im going to go give Jesus
something. Me. I feel good now. Ive been to Holy Hour. My dress is this short
too. Really? Ok. I want to hear his homilies, because I like to hear people
that talk like me.
[PILGRIM]
He does.
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
Oh I know it. Ive heard about it. Ill fly up for one day to
Washington just sneak in there to see if hes real. Our Lady is here to tell
you that you are driven by satan on everything you
do, and youre driven by God if you let Him by everything you do. But you dont
let Him do that. As far as Medjugorje goes, you cannot be silent. Youve got
the book Quietism. How many of you have read it? Man, yall arent reading anything.
Yall been on cellphones? Thats a mortal sin. Go to confession.
The social justice crowd, I wrote in The
Sin of Waiting. We cant wait until
Medjugorje is over. Our Lady said, This is a time of grace She
conveyed, Dont wait. She said August 25, 1997. Who knows the message? Ive said this for
years. A Kennedy moment. Im in the hayfields with the boys. They bring me the
message. Our Lady says, now you do not [understand]but soon will come a
time when you will lament for these messages Our Ladys words are not
exaggerated. If She means lament, She means lamentations, the Book of
Lamentations. Youre going to suffer if you dont get into these messages while
you have the opportunity, while you can change your life instead of being
forced to change your life. In the time of grace, the greenwood, things are
much easier than in the dry wood.
The social justice crowd has moved away beyond the borders of truth
infecting the Church with many false infections and diseased mentalities. We
have such a socialist Church driven by Communism, taking care of people who are
not poor, no work ethic, no encouragement to work, and this is all we hear from
the pulpits. Were infected by these things. Its a diseased mentality. Social
justice is a term secular. Its Biblical justice. Thats a whole different
matter. Thats what we have to go to. And social justice is nothing more than
returning an injustice to justice. And thats the end of it. Weve gone off the
rocker on this stuff. Im just giving you a little bit about it.
But Im saying this only because you can go for anything you want to,
you can have socialist ideas, even Communist ideas, and you get a place in the
Church and promote it and do something. But you cant talk about Medjugorje. No
we cant have that! Because the devil wont allow it. You fight. You dont
wait. Dont commit sin. Dont commit the sin of somebody who could have been
saved through Medjugorje because it converts. It works. Its proven. There are
no questions about it. This is about the bishops and addressing them. And this
is real simple. If your bishop doesnt believe, you just say the six
visionaries of Medjugorje are seeing something not of this world. Its
scientifically proven. We have the answer for the cure for the United States of
America. We are told to wait. No, we wont wait as a matter of conscience.
Our Lady appeared in the Field. We prayed millions, Im telling you
millions. We gave out 75,000 novenas, which start today and well do them every
day on the 25th for the next seven months from June until Christmas.
Seven novenas to reconcile ourselves, our families, and our nation back to God.
We consecrated the United States of America in the Field to Our Lady 2008,
2009, 2011, and 2012 I think, and 2013. No, that was the Cross. We consecrated
the Cross. And Our Lady gave a message, finally. It took millions of prayers.
But to give a message for our nation when even Ireland has asked for it, other
people, Slavko asked for different things. And they just said just pray. Marija
was shocked. We were shocked.
We were able to give the Consecration of the United States of America.
Were you there? Who was there at the consecrations? Our Ladys appearing there
and we consecrate in Her presence. Who has that opportunity in 2,000 years of
history? Nobody. I wrote the consecration here in Medjugorje. And Our Lady
said, Form and make prayer groups through which we will pray for your
healing and the healing of this nation Shes standing there in Alabama.
This nation. The United States of America. Why? Because if it changes, the
world changes. If it goes down the drain, everything goes down the drain. Its
not about being above the other nations. Its about leading. It is the natural
leader because its formed on principles that are Christian. Its the first
time in the history of the world that a group of men sat down on paper and
conceived a nation with Biblical principles. It never happened before. The most
generous nation in the history of the world. Not with just money and their
wealth. We have people dead on the battlefield and we start rebuilding their
countries that we just fought. Nobody does that. Dont let anybody desecrate
America. I say desecrate because it is to be a holy nation. And I dont want to
be one of them who say, Well, we
got our bad side. I dont have to
apologize.
Judas had that bad side of the apostles. So, does that make them all
bad? Youre always going to have rotten apples. It is a good nation and it is
to be respected. And it is holy. And the potential for that is tremendous. So, Form
and make prayer groups through which we will pray for your healing and the
healing of this nation to draw closer to God and to Me.
So, bishop, you dont want to believe in the apparition, you have to
believe science. They say theyre seeing something out of this world. They
cant say its the Virgin Mary scientifically, but there is something
scientifically that is proving that there is a supernatural being in front of
them, something happening. Our conclusion is absent of deceit. Twenty-five
scientists, 20 plus years doing every test there is. No more tests could be
done. They closed the case. So, if you dont want to believe, bishop, then look
at the scientific evidence. Cant you just let that happen? Unless, act on this
message. Weve got that. Here is your answer, straight from the Virgin Mary and
not one prayer group has been formed from that date through that message except
some individuals.
If the bishops say, Hey! Weve
got this message from the Virgin Mary. I want everybody in the diocese. I want
you to be in prayer groups, form it. Do it. Neighborhoods, whatever. Lets do
this. Weve got the solution. Its
amazing what we have in our hands. So, you have to leave here soldiers,
emboldened with power, the strength of the Holy Spirit, the power of God.
Because Hes sending it, Who He has vested into power, the Holy Virgin Mary,
the Queen of Peace, to save the world. Because, had She not come, it would have
destroyed itself. And that was a message from Ivan.
Father? Were looking for that. Were getting addicted.
[FATHER]
In the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Good and gracious God, we thank you for this moment, for this time, a
time of Our Lady. We thank you for the gift of Caritas. We thank you for the
gift of your servant Terry. Father, endow him with more of the wisdom of your
Holy Spirit. Endow him with the gift of knowledge and understanding. Father, to
all of us here, we need more of your Holy Spirit. Your intention for sending
your spirit, the spirit of the Father and the Son, is that He will lead us to
all truth. Enlighten us to see the truth. Give us the courage to accept the
truth, and the strength to live the truth because you are the Truth. You are
the Life and we want life. Father, we ask you to send the fire of the Holy
Spirit in each and every one of us, to drive away the powers of the evil one in
whatever form that we must have been that makes us to run away from the light.
Because you said in the Gospel of John, Light came into the world, but people
preferred darkness to light. Father, thats why youve sent your Mother, to
help us, to take us away from the dominion of the evil one, the enemy, whose
mission is to separate us from your love. But in your name, Father, that will
never happen. Fill us with the gift of your Holy Spirit, that this pilgrimage
will be a life-changing one. As your Mother has asked us to accept the message
and to live the message, give us the strength to do so. In your holy name I
bless these your children knelt before you. In the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Go in peace.
[REYES]
And so now, with the very last word, here is a Friend of Medjugorje.
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
Tomorrows apparition will be before Our Lady and we will petition for
all of you who have supported this mission. So, you be on your knees at the
same time at apparition time, also, that you might receive the graces that are
available at that holy time.
We wish you Our Lady. We love you. Goodnight.
