This is Radio WAVE with your
host, a Friend of Medjugorje.
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
The countries of the world all have
intelligence. In other words, theyre spying or their
listening or theyre finding outBecause they want to get intel. The
intelligence agencies are very active with this. Why?
Because informations important to protect the nations, or to overthrow your
own nation, or to find something happening in your own nation that may be
dangerous, and this information is vital and even top secret, and often intel
is leaked out.
There are secrets in Heaven. Our
Lady brought them down to the earth and gave ten of them to Mirjana. We dont know about that, but Heaven does, and Our Lady is
preparing us for that. Our Lady is bringing us intel. Shes
giving us information to prepare us. To prepare us for what? For secrets. Were in the midst of a pandemic. Everybodys attention is
on it. Its altered the world. You may be sick of
hearing it. I know Marija is. I talked to her today.
She says its like prison. They cant
do anything. They cant go anywhere. Shes in an apartment with her whole family. She cant even find a corner to pray in. Shes having to go into
the bathroom and light a candle so shell have a place
to pray. Its strange in that situation because, back
in 1988, where Marija and I and my wife, the only
privacy we had was in the bathroom. Wed go in there
and talk and discuss things, talk about Our Lady or about the situation because
thousands and thousands of people were in the Field and crawling all over the
house. And shes having a hard time finding that
solitude that she needs, because everybody needs that.
So, before we go any further about Marija, lets hear the intel. Im amazed how few people, even Medjugorje people, Well,
Ill read it later. You should be waiting all day, the day before, the
anticipation of this, because thats why what was the
tradition in Medjugorje. Cant wait till the 25th. We look
forward to that. Do you? Is it just curiosity, or is it a letdown? Oh, She didnt say anything. Youre
always looking for something grandiose. Everything, one word, if She says and
A-N-D, that is a grandiose thing because the Mother has come down from Heaven
and said the word and, and a human individual has heard that word with her
ears and her soul and her whole being. And not only is the word and important,
the letter A-N-D written down, is profound. Theres
mysteries in it. You mean, I can find mysteries in the word and? You
better believe it, because She made with one statement, and then She wants to
emphasize it. She says, and And thats how you should
look at the words, every single thing. In Judaism, they believed not only the
word, but every single letter in the Torah has purpose. Why? Because Scriptures
relay that not one word will pass away, nor a letter, nor a part of the letter.
Its eternal.
So, Scriptures is being brought
back to life through Our Lady's messages.
[JOAN]
Our Ladys April 25, 2020 message
to the world:
Dear children! May this time be an incentive
for personal conversion for you. Pray, little children, in solitude, to the
Holy Spirit to strengthen you in faith and trust in God, that you may be worthy
witnesses of the love which God bestows upon you through my presence. Little children, do not permit trials to harden your heart
and for prayer to be like a desert. Be a reflection of
Gods love and witness the Risen Jesus by your lives. I am with you and I love
all of you with my motherly love. Thank you for having responded to my call.
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
What a comfort it is that we have Our Lady with us, our Mother,
through these situations. If were grasping for Her
now, how much more will we want Our Lady to be with us to walk through the Secrets?
More people are praying across the world now to Our Lady, the Queen of Peace,
because of the pandemic. How much greater, through the Secrets, will we be
praying, calling out for Our Lady? And just think, when She leaves us, this
world will be frozen. It will be cold for us. I dont look forward to that,
having Our Lady every day, and then suddenly, Shes
gone. She wont appear anymore. And were
in this world on our own. Yes, there is going to be an efficacy of Our Ladys
with us. But these daily apparitions must go away. They will. They cant continue to last, and Our Lady's told us that.
On one of Marijas visits here, I
asked her, when Our Lady quits appearing, and Marija
just interrupted me and held up her hand and crossed her fingers, meaning, I
dont want Her to go. Please dont go. Weve seen
miracles, and we see the last line of a falling time.
[SONG: SONS & DAUGHTERS]
Tonight I dreamed that I could not catch my breath. Tonight I dreamed that you were gone, and I could feel
the ocean pound against my chest. In this world (in this world) on my own,
(on my own) this frozen world (this frozen world)alone.
But if you must go away, would you find no words to say? And would you steal my
heart away? Please don't go. But I know along this way,
We've seen the miracles (weve seen the miracles), and the long road,
and the breath that blows across the water. We've seen
the last line of a failing time. But these friends of mine are sons
and daughters, sons and daughters.
And underneath a clouded sky, we found a home. The mountains
rising from the sea, and the falling rain washed us clean and healed our souls.
The waters rise (the waters rise), but then they fall (but then they fall). I
close my eyes, (I close my eyes) and our summer's gone. And now you must go
away, and should you find no words to say, and should you steal my heart away,
I would let it go, because I know along this way
We've seen the miracles (weve seen the miracles), and the long road,
and the breath that blows across the water. We've seen
the last line of a failing time. But these friends of mine are sons
and daughters, sons and daughters.
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
And weve seen the miracles repeatedly,
converting of souls, supernatural, unexplainable miracles. We are in an
extraordinary moment.
I spoke to Marija today, several hours
before her apparition today in which she received the message. And I asked her
many questions. We talked about many things. Toward the end of it, I said, Marija, let me tape you for Radio WAVE. And whats surprising some of the things she said to me would be
related to what Our Lady told her this afternoon. Often, we see this with the
messages. Its part of the miracles. What were thinking, what were doing, or something happened
yesterday or the week before, is in the message! And it happened to Marija today of what she spoke of, and Our Lady literally
says it, of what I told you about, her being locked in the house, that she had
no place to go to, to be by herself. She needed to be solitude. And you heard
the message where Our Lady says,
May this time be an incentive for personal
conversion for you. Pray, little children, in solitude
Amazing.
So, my conversation and all these things, and what I learned
about that, was this morning before the message, how shes seeking out
solitude, and she was seeking to do that before she even heard Our Lady say
that today. If youre living the messages, youll be
aligned with the messages when they come in, and youll be able to grasp them
in a depth for those who dont pray or fast.
So, well play this conversation of Marija. Its difficult to
understand. Well clarify a few things after we listen
to it.
[CLIP]
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
Marija, were taping you
for a greeting America and whats going on with corona, and wed like for you
to have a few words. This is the 25th message day, and were talking to you this morning. Youre
going to have the apparition in a few hours, and so, wed like to hear from you
about what you think of these things.
[MARIJA]
You know, this time is good opportunity for us to pray more. And
we are in long time of during this long time doing this before Easter. We have [INAUDIBLE]
this coronavirus. And many people are so [INAUDIBLE] pray, pray, and [INAUDIBLE]
is really bad. But for us, Our Lady said, I am with you and I pray with you, so, we are in peace, we
are praying, and this is good opportunity for us to do what Our Lady said from
beginning, to conversion, our own conversion, you know. We have no possibility
to go here and there, to make testimony or to makeWe have no have no freedom
to go make testimony in parish or we do not have possibility to go to holy
Mass, but were beginning to pray in our family, what Our Lady said from
beginning. She said, in beginning, Put Holy Scripture in visible place in
your family, read every day and pray. So, with Our Lady's message, with
Holy Scripture, were beginning to renew what Our
Lady, from beginning, ask us. We have big problem because we have no priest. We
have no holy Mass. We have no Sacrifice of Holy Mass which we receive Jesus,
and this is problem for many people, for all us who are Our Lady lead us [INAUDIBLE]
spiritual life is holy Mass, meeting with God in holy Mass.
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
Marija, I know you love the Mass. What is it, being
a visionary and seeing the Virgin Mary every day, that you have not been able
to go to Mass, what, for a month or more? What do you feel about that?
[MARIJA]
We dont know. We dont
have freedom likeThis is diabolic. This is not God. This is diabolic. And Our
Lady ask us to make more pray, and we really make more pray. Many people who
are [INAUDIBLE] for many people who are distanced from God now come back to
God. But, [INAUDIBLE], and many people are dying, no
Sacraments, no Confession, no blessing for sick people. Many priests have died.
But same time, the [INAUDIBLE] Our Lady prepare us many years for this
situation.
[END CLIP]
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
To clarify some of this, because its
difficult to understand on the telephone, Marija
says,
We have no freedom. I think this is diabolical. This is not
God. This is diabolical.
So, she lays it out. She goes into, we need to be praying. Our
Lady said in Her 25th message,
May this time be an incentive for personal
conversion
Marija said, before the 25th
message was given to her,
This is a good opportunity.
In other words, this time is an
incentive, like Our Lady said in the message. You see how shes
in tune with the messages even before she hears it. And thats
how the message is supposed to affect you. And what you just heard Marija relayed, she said,
The situation is not good. Many
people are dying. No Sacraments, no Confession, no blessing for the sick
people. Many priests have died.
Thats terrible. Its
a bad situation. They are people in the Medjugorje world that do not want
anyone to talk about the Secrets, do not want to sit there and say its going to be something negative or something difficult
or whatever. They want to mundane it.
But what does Marija
say? What she tells me, what you just heard, I dont
know if its clear to you, but I want to make it clear to you, she says,
Many priests have died, but at the
same time
See, she said the word.
but at the same time, we always say,
Our Lady, prepare us for many years for this situation.
Wow. Do you understand what that
statement means? Shes been preparing us for the
Secrets, which is going to have some kind of resulting effect to bring
conversion. And heres a pandemic thats not the
Secret, and those who say, Oh, dont be thinking about the Secrets, or
Dont pay attention to them. Its just a
complication. Theologically, we shouldnt be looking at these things. You
would believe whats being said against that and how
much resistance is out there. Were going to be putting
something out big, big, big about the Secrets. Be praying for it. Weve been working on it for a long time. And maybe were a couple months away from it. Theres
nothing out there like it. And here it is, Marija
says that Our Lady has been preparing us for many years for this situation.
Now, she doesnt speak good English. Shes not saying the corona, specifically, singularly, but
for the times were going into!
Well continue what she says.
[CLIP]
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
What are you doing for Sundays for
Mass? Are you doing like a spiritual communion?
[MARIJA]
We make spiritual communion. And, you
know, thank God we have Ave Maria would help us, really, [INAUDIBLE] with
Medjugorje and become so international and help us every day with pray, novena,
and to be, we pray what Our Lady said, Pray that soul come back to God.
[END CLIP]
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
So, Marija
is saying that we pray until souls come back to God. When she meant souls,
she means, people coming back to God.
What Marijas
about to tell you about is what were doing, that I had talked to her earlier
in the conversation about, todays our third time going up to the Cross to
consecrate the United States of America, before the election, for the soul of
America. Marija is very aware of this. She knows that
tonight, as youre listening to this broadcast, were
going to be at the Cross, praying the Patriotic Rosary, and those of you who
will be joining us across the United States. And I talked, also, earlier in the
conversation, for this 25th apparition, that she recommend
all the people praying for our nation. And so, shes
making a statement about that because weve already discussed it. So, shes going to go into us about praying in union with us in
her apparition and with the people of America.
[CLIP]
[Marija]
We are in union also with you with all
people who live in America, to really pray this. You pray Patriotic Rosary, but
we pray also Rosary to ask Our Lady to give for us
strong, to be every grace, more example for others. So, in this situation, I like
to say only, more beautiful things and more important things to be in union of
pray. We dont know what comes out because now, this
moment, the situation with this coronavirus is bad, but
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
Has Our Lady alluded to, or has She mentioned
anything about the coronavirus in regards to even your
private apparitions? Has She said anything about it?
[MARIJA]
Our Lady always asks us to pray corona
[LAUGHS], to pray Rosary, because Our Lady always said, believe me, this is not
God, and this is not God. [INAUDIBLE] And we need to pray to be free in
everything, to be free from this virus, to be free, because now, we do not have
holy Mass, and you know, some priests beginning to make holy Mass with little
person, [INAUDIBLE] because he is not with law. [INAUDIBLE] Same time, its
possible to see how many people, like in China, who no
have ability to have holy Mass or make like catacomb there, when is during
Roman part when Christians have holy Mass in catacomb. And I think this
moment/situation is a little bit so. And we need pray Our Lady to give for us
freedom because freedom and peace is more precious things that we have. So,
pray together.
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
We look forward to the message today
and your apparition in a little bit, and
[MARIJA]
I go pray for you. I go during, like
always, I pray always Our Lady, and I go pray for you.
And we need be in union of pray because when we are in union, we are strong,
and we are together Our Lady to help us.
[END CLIP]
Its very interesting that Marija said,
Its during the Roman times when
Christians have holy Mass in catacombs, and I think this moment, the situation,
is a little bit so.
Amazing. Do you realize the times were in? Our Lady said, I think it was 92 or 93, but in
the mid-nineties, You are in a particular time. That means this time
is different from any others. Its particular,
singularly. This is why I say its revelation. Its part of the Bible coming to life, in our midst. Were seeing things thats never happened before, where the
whole world has shut down Mass! Thats never happened
in Christianity. They were in the catacombs. We cant
even go anywhere. Marija, also, elaborated on how
difficult it is. Its not like here in America. They
are strictly house bound. They cannot go anywhere except for to get their food.
She said many people are getting punished. Theyre
getting fines. And she says its like Communism. And
she told me before we taped this, that,
The government is wanting to give
more freedom, but the Communists
Theres many Communists in Italy, in their
parliaments, that,
they do not want people to go to
Mass.
So, they dont want to lift this ban. They want to keep it in place
because theyre able to stop the Christians from going
to holy Mass. So, the devils making great use of this. And we see the same
thing with the democrats in America. They want to break the economy, to change
the election thats coming up. And thats
why were praying the Patriotic Rosary. We have to
hold Our Ladys arms up like Moses was held up by Aaron and Joshua. And as long as Moses arms were up, they were beating down the
Philistines. But when his arms went down, we started losing. So, our prayer,
our rosaries, all these things, the Patriotic Rosary, holds Our Lady's arms up
with Her protection, where Gods grace can come, that we will conquer. We will
experience victory through, not the means of the earth, but through the
spiritual realm manifesting physically.
By now,
many of you know of the writing The Corona Vision, and its caused quite a stir because its about what were going
to live in the future. Marija told me of her regrets
that theyre five stories up in an apartment, and they
cant go out. She said, We should have bought some land and a
little house so we could be walking around there and be outside. The
manifestation now is bringing a lot of thinking to people. Reflection. Our Lady
said that word today, and its tied to the Risen
Christ. We need resurrection the way we live. The Corona Vision is all
about that, and were living that, and we havent
changed anything here. Well, you remember the cartoon, The Jetsons. Were living in the future. Nothing has changed our life
here. Were not separated from each other. We spoke
about this on Mejanomics, how our
life is not disrupted. The kids are all together. Were
still going to school. We havent stopped our work.
Our presses are running. Everythings moving. Why?
Because Our Lady guided us, through Her messages, of how we should be living
now of how people will have to be living in the future. Do you want to be in an
apartment, or do you want to have a little plot of land and a house? Oh, now,
yeah, you can see it. Now you can reflect on it. This is what Our Lady said,
an incentive for personal conversion
And when
that happens, you go in solitude. And when that happens, you have to trust in
God that what he asks you to stop doing and turn away from, and some of the
examples with ours, is pulling our kids out of sports, pulling them out of the
schools, building a one-room schoolhouse, changing the things, getting away
from the dollar, and a hundred, hundred things, how weve changed our life,
that now, were not changed by corona.
If you
havent read The Corona Vision, you want to get this now, and you want
to read it over and over, and you want to study it, because it is what the
future is. Its not suggestion. It could be a choice
for you, and if you dont choose it now, you wont
have a choice later. Youre going to have to do it,
and its not going to be easy then.
And Marija was expressing that to me, basically, alluding, it
was a stupid decision. Were staying in this
apartment. Theres nowhere to go, no yard, no nothing,
and complaining about where to even pray, when Our Lady says, I want you to go
into solitude. Marija says shes
putting up little statues and holy cards all over the place, she says, not
fanatically, to remind them to constantly be in prayer. Now, seeing the Mother
of God, shes already in that framework, but shes got
a whole family there. And what shes done is making
her house a chapel now.
And talking
about Medjugorje, of course, theres nobody there,
except the villagers. And you know who the pilgrims are? The villagers. Theyre back in their original days. They cant
even get out. Theyve had a real outbreak in Mostar.
Several people have contracted the coronavirus in Medjugorje. And they cant go out. But she said shes
talking to Vicka, the visionary, almost every
morning. And Vickas husband is sneaking out early in
the morning, and hes going to the mountain to bring
Our Lady flowers. And thats how it was with her in
the beginning. They were hiding from the Communists. Marija
also said she would dress up every day because the Communists were so strong
and so threatening, that if she was killed and she died, she wanted to be
dressed nicely. And Ive seen that before in a story
that when Marija told me in her house, in the early
days Marija was sick. And Our Lady said, Get out of the bed
and dress up because Jesus is coming. And she realized she was going to die. So,
she dressed up. So, this is her mentality. Then she hears the knock on the
door. She goes there, and Fr. Slavko is there, and he brought her communion.
Our Lady wasnt lying. Our Lady wasnt
stretching anything. Jesus Christ came to her. And Marija
had no hint that that was going to take place. So, in those days, she dressed
up because she wanted to be ready to meet Jesus dressed up. So many beautiful
stories, incredible things.
One thing Marija said is to remain confident in these days. Thats how they were with the Communists. And they werent scared because they put their trust in God, and
thats what Our Lady says over and over, and said today.
Pray, little children, in solitude, to the Holy Spirit to
strengthen you in faith and trust in God
When Marija, in these kinds of days and these times, we have to do that. Marija said
today, Keep your eyes on Heaven. Our Lady
has not referred to this in any way to her. Its
really not Our Ladys concern, Marija said, but she
said, God decides what happens here on
earth. She said, We have to have confidence in God. He
sees all that he has created. And she said, The Lord is content, and that we are not to be
concerned of things of the earth. And thats why she said
Shes giving us the impetus to change how we live, where we live.
Marija said, God will not
abandon us. He loves us. She said, In these days, we cannot go to the
church and bring roses, but what we can do is give Our Lady your Rosaries, and
thats a beautiful perfume, she said, that we can present to Her. And she
said, In these days, do not abandon the
Rosary. In fact, everything now is to increase. Another thing she also said, that these days, theres so much confidence being
put into medicines and into doctors and cures, and little faith in God. The
measure of our faith submitting to medicine is the wrong way to cure this
thing. We pray to God that he may what we need as far as medicine. It comes
through His hand, not to doctors.
For many of
us, including myself, when you first get involved with Our Lady or go through
conversion in Medjugorje or however it happens, we dont have the confidence
that here is the Mother of God, that we can be speaking for Her. And what Marija did, she was told the same thing. She didnt have confidence when she spoke. But the more
confidence that she put in God, the more confidence that she had, and thats how your witness becomes stronger. Our Lady had to
convince me what I was supposed to be doing. I thought somebody else should be
doing it, a priest or somebody else. Im just a father
and a husband. And then when Our Lady presented things to me, I really didnt have the confidence, Who am I to speak
for the Mother of God? Who am I to be working for Her? She gave a
message once that said, I knowyou feel smallin these
things But Im telling you, basically,
She says, to go forward.
But what is
the most powerful witness? Its not just actions. Its to be witness in silence, because sometimes words are
not enough. You cant talk words into being an apostle
of Our Lady. Its your actions. And the most powerful,
the strongest way to witness is in silence. And Marija
testified to love. We have to testify to love of how
to live, and thats when love begins. Thats when
every story, every incident you have, all the people you bring to Our Lady from
every corner of the earth. None of us could have imagined in the Community, I
could not in 1988, and not in 1986 when I went to Medjugorje, of where Our Lady
would bring us to, so far away from the beginning to across the whole world. Youre called for that. You may not have the confidence for
that, but you put it in God, and you will receive that.
[SONG: TESTIFY TO LOVE]
All the colors of the rainbow, all the voices of the wind, every
dream that reaches out, that reaches out to find where love begins.
Every word of every story, every star in every sky, every corner
of creation, lives to testify.
For as long as I shall live, I will testify to
love. I'll be a witness in the silences when
words are not enough. With every breath I take, I will give thanks to God
above. For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love.
From the mountains to the valleys, from the rivers to the sea,
every hand that reaches out, every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy, every step to kingdom come, all the
hope in every heart, will speak what love has done.
For as long as I shall live, I will testify to
love. I'll be a witness in the silences when
words are not enough. With every breath I take, I will give thanks to God
above. For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love.
For as long as I shall live, I will testify to
love. I'll be a witness in the silences when
words are not enough. With every breath I take, I will give thanks to God
above. For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love.
For as long as I shall live, I will testify to
love. I'll be a witness in the silences when
words are not enough. With every breath I take, I will give thanks to God
above. For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love.
For as long as I shall live, I will testify to
love
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
You are being called to testify. We
witness miracles. What would you do if you knelt down
and what happened next to you, that somebody saw one million people being
slaughtered, floating down the rivers, the water red? Rwanda! Im kneeling next to Ivanka. Shes
given a vision, nine months before an event that happened. When Ivanka came out
of the apparition, she lost it, screaming. I dont
have to have any faith in the apparitions. Ive
experienced cognition that makes my witness unrepeatable, irreplaceable. I wasnt there by chance. I was supposed to be there, because
that birthed another book called, They Fired the First Shot. And nobody
put that out. Nobody would state it because they were told not to do these
things.
Immacule lived in Rwanda. Her whole family was
killed. Only her brother survived. She wrote a book, Left to Tell. An
incredible book. If you havent read it, you look it
up. You buy it. Get it. Get a used copy. You read this. If youve got the book They
Fired the First Shot, read the beginning of it because I give more detail
that people dont understand of the circumstances that Ivanka had, whereas, Immacule tells her story, being locked with six women or
so, in a tiny, tiny bathroom, for months. And Immacule
had to testify to love. She had every reason to hate, every reason to be angry,
and she struggled to pray the Rosaries over and over and over. Its the only thing that saved her. She would start the
Rosary. She had to continue praying through the Rosary because the devil was
trying to stop her to say the Rosary. But through her determination, peace
would come to her. And it saved her.
Immacule has been here. She was shocked what
she found. She loved this place. She fell in love with it. Why? Because she
felt a spirit here. The people with her was ready to leave, and they said she wouldnt stay long because so many people wanted to talk to
her. Shes well-known around the world, and she didnt
want to leave. And when she did leave, she said to me, that she felt here,
family. And now she has a family because her whole family was lost. Just being
here just a few hours, she felt that. Our silent witness, the way we lived. And
shes longed to want to come back. She wrote to us
today, and I think its appropriate, with the pandemic
going on, and everybody locked up like she was, that we share the letter to
you.
[JOAN]
Dear a Friend of Medjugorje and family,
My heart feels so happy reading your letter and hearing
about all you shared. I keep good memories of my visit there, too. In a special
way, I remember everything there like it was yesterday. It left a great
impression on my mind. I love you all with the love of Jesus and Our Lady. I
want to come back and bring some friends who love your mission.
I read about the message, too, of Mirjana, of March
18th
And shes
referring about the apparitions ending for Mirjana. And she said,
My goodness! I felt a bit scared that things are
approaching. You know, the apparition of Kibeho
publicly ended to one main visionary, Alfin Singh on November 28, 1989, and
soon after, everything Our Lady was talking about, the prophecy of the
genocide, the war, started less than a year later on October 1, 1990. And the
most final battle was four years later in 1994, that killed a million and more
in three months in a country of eight million. It was as if Our Lady was
saying
And she has this in quotes,
I have spoken. I have trained you. I
have given you all the tools to fight. Now, go into the battle and use them.
[Unquote] Im trying to read the signs of
our time.
Coronavirus seems like a step into the Secrets, I
fear so too. But Our Lady is with us. God be with us.
As soon as I can, I will visit you and have
conversations with a Friend of Medjugorje about all this. I wish it can be now.
Do you have a website? I want to get a Friend of Medjugorjes books. You have
my address, right?
I look forward to sharing a meal with you all again
and sing together and pray. I praise God that there are people like you taking
the messages of Our Lady seriously and applying faithfully. We could have saved
a lot in Rwanda if we did listen. But it is not too late for all of us now to
listen today.
Please keep me and my family in your prayers. I
will keep you in mine as well. And give my love to everyone in the Community.
God bless you, Immacule
I remember when she came, the two
things that struck me the most, was we had just finished a slide presentation. Its called, Why is Medjugorje Real? It had not been
released yet, but it was finished enough for Immacule
to watch it, and a Friend of Medjugorje wanted to get her reaction. And you can
see that yourself on the homepage of mej.com, at the very bottom module on the
right-hand side. But it begins with a lot of tragic scenes. And we were all
watching her watch this, and we would see her entering into
all of these horrible scenes, knowing what her own experience had been, and her
eyes filled up with tears. It was like a magnetic stare of these scenes,
watching her. And so, that was the beginning of her visit. From that moment,
her heart was just connected with a Friend of Medjugorje and the Community. It
so impacted her that it communicated something of her own experience and how
Our Lady led her towards being free from that tragedy.
The second thing that really impacted
me was how much the children touched her here. And after seeing them, just
being with them for just a few moments, she said, These children are like
the children of Rwanda. They remind me so much of the children of my own
country, the simplicity, how they play. And she went on and on just
describing the simplicity of her own people and how that came to life for her
within the Community. So, I think that was really why
she was saying to a Friend of Medjugorje, I found my family here.
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
We bring this up because we have so
many contacts with so many people that are connected through Our Lady and Her
plans. One affects the other and strengthens the body of apostles across the
world.
So, were not
to turn back. Were to grow in our conversion, not to
lose hope. We have found hope in a hopeless time. Our Lady is planting seeds in
our heart, and we are to watch that grow, keep us moving down the road. Our
Ladys showing these things in Her words and Her actions and Her miracles. satan is here on the earth to stop the dawn that is on the
horizon. We have to realize were not walking alone. Were walking with Our Lady. Shes
guiding us to our home thats in Heaven.
Oh gentle heart, oh simple soul, you have come
so far on your own. Do not turn back. Do not lose hope. Who can say how far is
left to go?
And all the nights you've
walked alone, you've followed lights to guide you home.
Well, should the dawn refuse to rise, should the darkness close
on all sides, well, may you find your heart next to mine. For we found hope in
a hopeless time.
Oh gentle heart, oh simple soul, there is still
so much I have to know. So, plant your seeds and watch them grow. Keep on
moving on down the road. Through the night, the wind shall blow. All the lights
are burning low.
Well, should the dawn refuse to rise, should the darkness close
on all sides, well, may you find your heart next to mine. For we found hope in
a hopeless time.

And all the nights you've
walked alone, you've followed lights to guide you home.
Well, should the dawn refuse to rise, should the darkness close
on all sides, may you still find your heart next to mine. For we found hope in
a hopeless time.
Oh, we found hope in a hopeless time.
Oh, we found hope in a hopeless time.
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
Our Lady said today,
do not permit trials to harden your heart and
for prayer to be like a desert
In the words of this song, Our Lady
speaks to us, saying,
Well, should the dawn refuse to rise, should
the darkness close on all sides, well, may you find your heart next to mine.
For we found hope in a hopeless time.
After todays message, Marija said,
People
pray and pray mechanically, but without fruit, without confidence in God. They
become like a desert, which has no flowers.
And she says, Marija,
Be a
desert flower that is a beautiful thing bringing color in a desert.
And thats
the world, and thats your call. Testify on behalf of Our Lady, and you testify
love.
We wish you Our Lady. We love you. Good night.
