[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 38^th 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 40^th year of the apparitions. Thats a Biblical number. Ive been telling you this since the 10^th 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 25^th 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 40^th 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 100^th 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 25^th 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.
