Today is Monday, December 3, 2018, and this is Radio WAVE.

[THEME MUSIC]

[ANNOUNCER]

Broadcasting across the world from the Radio WAVE Studio at Caritas, Alabama. This is Radio WAVE with a Friend of Medjugorje.

[REYES]

And you are hearing a Friend of Medjugorje on Radio WAVE. Hell be joining us in just a moment. But first, we wanted to start off by asking a question.

Now, we come here and you will speak about the message and the mission of Caritas as a religious mission based on the apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Medjugorje. It didnt start that way, but a Friend of Medjugorje, over time, understood that our mission was to spread solely Medjugorje.

But thats not the question that I had for you. The question I had was is, we come and we really speak about what you would consider to be a religious topic. And theres a lot of people out there that have zero interest in religion. We hear from a lot of wives whose husbands dont want to have anything to do with religion, and a lot of times we cant blame them, because religions a pretty boring thing.

So, how would you answer to people who may be hearing this for the first time, or that husband thats sitting next to the wife or vice versa, that what it is that you have to say tonight is something that theyre in need of hearing?

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

I think a general statement that people think religion is boring in the context of who delivers it makes it boring, and where we are in the world and in the Church, it can be boring. Ive talked about the pulpit, and Im not getting fed from it. And yes, theres some excellent priests out there, but by far and large, were not getting the food. You say, Oh, well this is a Friend of Medjugorje cutting down the priests. Im not cutting down the priests.

Benedict had the U.S. bishops come to Rome and say whats wrong in America with the Church. An Atlanta bishop was the spokesman that put out the statement, after they met, that they are going to Mass, and theyre getting half the food. They get the Eucharist, but they dont get the Bible. And theyre leaving Mass, quote. Im quoting. You go google this. Go look it up if you dont believe it. I dont remember the bishops name, but he was a black bishop of Atlanta. And he said that they leave and they turn on Protestant radio to get the other food, which is the Scriptures. And some even go to Protestant churches afterwards, because theyre not getting fed.

So, the boredom, religion is very exciting. Its not bored, but its been made bored by some who are delivering that. And thats why Our Ladys coming to us.

It was Our Lady Who said that, it is you who are divided and a divided religion. But faith is in one, and Our Lady spoke about that in Her message yesterday. Were broadcasting the day after because it was Sunday yesterday. Today is December 3^rd. But putting all this in context, do you think it was boring watching Noah build the Ark? People made fun of him. They didnt believe him. You think it was boring for them? And then the Flood? All these things? The Tower of Babel? They wanted to go up to the heavens, and God looks down to see them, and they think theyre God themselves?

We just got through reading an article about China, that scientists are condemning other scientists because theyre going in and genetically modifying embryos now. And they said, This is a territory we shouldnt be going into. Why? Because, even them, in their atheism, communism, knows theres certain domains you dont even enter into, because thats what happened to Babel. Were so complex. Were growing. Were building the tower to the heavens, and Gods going to do something. Does that interest you? Does it sound exciting? This is what the topics should be about religion today, because were in trouble. Why are we in trouble? Jesus says in The Poem of the Man-God, quote,

Everything happened because man did not obey. That is why there is sorrow in the world. That is the reason for our grief.

Our world, at this moment, is in grief. Our Lady is here talking about it. Would you like to travel with Joan of Arc and just watched her from a distance when the Hundred Year War was going on? And she saved France within six weeks? We talk about, on this broadcast, of the messages, about money, about government, politics, birth of nations, nations going astray, family, divorce. Theres no limit what these things encompass. Because, if were going to be living in eternity, everything thats taking place, in regard to your question, is religious. It is something of the light and something of the dark. Thats the real story.

We all went to school. If youre going to write a piece, theyd say, Do an outline. I never do that, because I didnt like doing it anyway, and I dont do it know when I write. But in the outline, youre supposed to put the main points. If you want to make the most simple outline of our world today, you would say, the first thing on that outline: The Light. The second point would be: The dark. Everything surrounds that.

So, dont buy into this lie that we have to be secularized, even in our Church, because we have, that theres topics we cant talk about. We should be talking about every single thing, whether its making steel, iron, changing genetics, whatever the topic, has a purpose, because God made everything, and everything is to be of the Light, and the devil is doing everything to make things be sorrowful for us to disobey.

So, we think were God now, and weve got technologies and things and ways that were doing that has religious connotations, because its going to send you, in the end, to perdition, or to the Light. Forget about Purgatory. Its just two directions in the end. And so, everything encompasses that. And Our Ladys message is here to show us these things, and She has given something very clever in the message She gave for December 2^nd, yesterday, that has some things in that that are really amazing. Its easy to gloss over it and to say, Oh, sweet words. But its far more than just sweet words.

[JOAN]

Our Lady Queen of Peace of Medjugorjes December 2, 2018 message given on the day of non-believers through Mirjana.

Dear children, when you come to me, as to a mother, with a pure and open heart, know that I am listening to you, encouraging you, consoling you and, above all, interceding for you with my Son. I know that you desire to have a strong faith and to express it in the right way. What my Son asks of you is to have a sincere, strong and deep faith then every way in which you express it is proper. Faith is a most wonderful mystery which is kept in the heart. It is between the Heavenly Father and all of His children; it is recognized by the fruits and by the love which one has towards all of Gods creatures. Apostles of my love, my children, have trust in my Son. Help all of my children to come to know His love. You are my hope you who strive to sincerely love my Son. In the name of love, for your salvation, according to the will of the Heavenly Father and through my Son, I am here among you. Apostles of my love, along with prayer and sacrifice, may your hearts be illuminated with the love and the light of my Son. May that light and love illuminate all those whom you meet and bring them back to my Son. I am with you. In a special way, I am alongside your shepherds. With my motherly love I illuminate and encourage them that, with the hands blessed by my Son, they may bless the entire world. Thank you.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

What are we to think of this message? She says:

when you come to me, as to a mother, with a pure and open heart, know that I am listening to you

Does that mean sometimes Our Ladys not listening to us if our hearts are not pure, our hearts not open?

Scripture says that when youre in sin and persist in sin and dont want to leave that sin, then all your prayers fall back on top of your head.

And so, we see this. Actually, this reminds me of a story with my mother. I was probably 9 or 10 years old. I had one of my schoolmates, Michael, come over at our house. And we were in the kitchen, and it said,

when you come to me, as to a mother

I went to my mother. And I asked her to do something. I dont remember what the issue was. And she said no, and I smart-mouthed her. And the next thing I knew, a big old hand came across my face, slapped me down to the ground, and I fell all the way on my shoulder, flat. Michael was stunned. Michael never did get that kind of discipline. I got up, and I realized she wasnt listening to me at all. Im not to talk back to her.

He went to school that Monday morning telling everybody about what happened and reenacting it, slapping himself, falling on the floor just dying laughing. I thought it was pretty funny myself. It hurt. It wasnt just a little, it was like being socked. You say, Is that abusive? I didnt think so, because my attitude was that I deserved it. And my moms not going to listen to me if Im going to be sassing her. Now, Im not saying the Blessed Virgin Marys going to do that to you, but Michael was never disciplined. He was a wild child.

His mother got a call at 3 oclock in the morning, said that hes been in an accident. And she says, No. Hes in the bed. And then he says, No. Theres been something terrible happened. She went to the bed. He wasnt there. Michael was killed. He was out doing some bad things and crashed in a car.

And a lot of thats related to discipline, and the worlds about to crash right now, and Our Ladys here wanting us to be listening. And while Our Ladys not going to give you a slap, Her messages really convict you, and its like throwing cold water in your face. So,

know that I am listening to you, encouraging you, consoling you and, above all, interceding for you with my Son

Were in a most momentous moment that weve never experienced before because were in a new time that the time couldnt be what it is until now. Weve never experienced where man is today, and were in trouble. And because of that, God is sending Our Lady, and She said that. Why did She say that? Because Shes been commissioned. Shes been given the world. This is Her moment. This is Her time. She said that. She said in the messages yesterday,

You are my hope

What does that mean? Shes speaking to us, Her children.

You are my hope

Hope for what? She goes on and says,

you who strive to sincerely love my Son. In the name of love, for your salvation

So, Shes here to encourage us to love Her Son for the purpose of our salvation. Our salvation is at risk because weve lost the way. Its Our Lady Who says, You imagine God who you think He is, not Who He truly is. Weve forgotten Him, even the concept that He is a God of Love. Our Lady says,

I am here among you

She means that. So, Shes telling us, in this message, you pray, you sacrifice, and may your hearts be illuminated with the love and the light of my Son

This message has many mysteries in it, several things being said. Basically, where our faith is today, and She spoke about this faith, a strong faith, to express it, and that faith is the most wonderful mystery But faith is in trouble.

So, Our Ladys here to show us about our faith, how sick we are, how far were from it, that weve lost our faith, but the one thing that we have to have is hold onto faith. Thats the only thing thats going to make us get through this situation. The first beginning days of Medjugorje, what was the main message? Faith is beginning to extinguish itself. Faith is changing. Faith is changing many, many things, from yoga to secularism to many, many other variations. What is faith? Theres only one faith. And in the message, She says its Jesus Christ. But yet, She speaks about all of Gods children, wherever they are.

So, we have to have faith, and faith in you, speaking of Jesus, is the only thing thats going to help you get through this situation were in now.

[SONG- MY FAITH IN YOU]

Yeah, this world will turn its back when you find yours against that wall. Just watch it as it keeps on spinning just like there's nothing wrong. That's why I'm thumbing through these pages. They say the answers are in red. And I believe they're in there somewhere, I just haven't found 'em yet. It's the only hope that I got left.

'Cause I could stand to lose my faith in friends that come and go. Yeah, they'll be there when you need them, they say that when you don't. I could give up on my heroes, could let myself down, too. But what would I do if I lost my faith in You? My faith in You!

You know I've learned through all these stories all about the pain You felt. And I know You did all that for me and I'm still asking You for help. 'Cause Lord I just can't help myself!

'Cause I could stand to lose my faith in friends that come and go. Yeah, they'll be there when you need them, they say that when you don't. I could give up on my heroes, could let myself down, too. But what would I do if I lost my faith in You?

'Cause I've been beaten, I've been broken, I've been dangerously bruised. And Lord, I never would have made it if I'd of lost my faith in You, if I'd lost my faith in You.

Know You always got my back and I don't know why. It feels like I deserve it for a hell raiser like me to have a safe place to land. Can't thank You enough, You saved my life.

I will never lose my faith in You, oh, oh. My faith in You.
If Id lost my faith in You. If Id lost my faith in You.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Michael and I were best friends. He and I both were the fun of the school. He began to go down a dark road, and I went another road. We separated. I quit hanging around with him. My faith saved me, and he lost his faith. How many people out there are like that? I remember getting the phone call. I couldnt believe it. What hurt me the most was I know where he was in his faith, and it wasnt good. To this day, I hope he made it. But its not a good prognosis.

And how many people out there need you? And thats what Our Ladys saying in the message.

I am here among you. Apostles of my love, along with prayer and sacrifice, may your hearts be illuminated with the love and the light of my Son. May that light and love illuminate all those whom you meet and bring them back to my Son

And this is what youre called for. This is what Our Ladys demanding of you. Youre not an apostle if you have only self-interest and forget the rest of everybody else. Its strong words to be told, your life does not belong to youbut is to be spent bringing others to Eternal Life. You dont own yourself if youre going to be connected to Our Lady. How can you say that? Because She said it, February 25, 1988:

sacrifice your lives for the salvation of the world

In the name of love She said yesterday,

for your salvation, according to the will of the Heavenly Father and through my Son, I am here among you

She, my friends, is here for the salvation of the entire world. She said, June 25, 2007:

God desires [the conversion of] the entire world

This is serious stuff. We have bad parenting. My parents were strong. Michaels parents were not. They were lenient. They spoiled him. How many children are not getting the attention they need to be getting. And whats happened today? Were in a mess. They whole worlds in a mess. How do we fix these things? Youve got people that Our Lady said yesterday,

Help all of my children to come to know His love. You are my hope

You may be the person standing between someone and eternity to perdition. We are not taking these messages seriously. June 25, 1991, There are those who do not take my messages seriously. As for you, I want you to find your message in Sacred Scripture and take the messages seriously.

Its an amazing thing, where we are today in the Medjugorje world, that we still have, practically, nobody really dwelling in the messages. Yes, theres people out there. Yes, we do this. But still, we havent touched the surface. We havent scratched the surface. And so, all this, really, is more futuristic than it is now because were not acting. Were not doing what were supposed to be doing.

So, God sends the Virgin Mary. She says, I am here among youI am with you And the purpose is to clean up this mess. And the only way to do it is through Gods blessing, by enough people praying, praying the Rosary, sacrificing, fasting, to turn this thing around. And its going to turn around. The question is, whos going to walk with the Light, and whos going to go down in the dark? You are important. Our Lady says, I need you She says, I cant do this without you. Contemplate these things, what kind of mess weve made.

[SONG: GOD BLESS THIS MESS]

Here's to the brokens, the misfits and wannabes, the part of you that's just like me, the wildflowers and the "Holier than thou's. The diamonds that are never gonna leave the rough, the rolling stones that are always stuck, the all-nighter's and the lost I've never found.

God bless this mess if this is as good as it's gonna get. I'm gonna hold you like I know it's gonna be okay again. I got a hurricane in my heart, keeps on rattling the gooder part. And honestly, I'm just an honest wreck, but I'm trying my best. God bless this mess, oh, God bless this mess.

Here's to the waiting, all the waiting that we have to do. The dreams we make that never come true. And all the hurting that comes without warning. Here's to the view from the tile of the bathroom floor. Ain't we all been there before? And the hell bent Sun that's gonna come up the next morning.

God bless this mess if this is as good as it's gonna get. I'm gonna hold you like I know it's gonna be okay again. I got a hurricane in my heart, keeps on rattling the gooder part. And honestly, I'm just an honest wreck, but I'm trying my best. God bless this mess, oh, God bless this mess.

Most the time I forget to pray, but when I close my eyes, I just say

God bless this mess if this is as good as it's gonna get. God bless this mess if this is as good as it's gonna get. I'm gonna hold you like I know it's gonna be okay again. I got a hurricane in my heart, keeps on rattling the gooder part. And honestly, I'm just an honest wreck, but I'm trying my best. God bless this mess, oh, God bless this mess.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

You are part of the army, the garbage collectors, to clean up this mess. Every blessing, every apparition every day, things are reversing. We dont always see that, but Our Lady has said, I can see now, in your hearts, my triumph. Things are changing. Things are getting darker, but things are getting more distinct between the other. Were no longer in an amalgamation with light and dark. The separation is taking place. Dont believe and accept those voices that say, Weve got to be together. Weve got to be together. No. Weve got to separate like the early Christians did. And then we be light and draw them to our side. We dont shun them in that sense. Weve got to be in a position that we can shine our light to them, and theyll see the difference. Thats the playbook. Separation is very much part of it. Diversity is garbage. Being together is garbage. We are to separate for the purpose of unity. Thats how we unify, and thats how we grow. Thats how we become stronger.

Our Lady has said,

as to a mother, with a pure and open heart

In another part of the message says,

[you] have a sincere, strong, and deep faith

Those two words, pure and sincere. Pure means, separate from all extraneous matter. In other words, pure is defined as

clear; free from mixture; free from moral defilement; without spot; not soiled or tarnished; incorrupt.

You go to the Vatican, you look at John XXIII, you see him in a glass casket underneath an altar. Hes incorrupt. He was known, when I was a kid, as the happy pope. He was always joyful. And hes laying there.

Pure also means,

holy; genuine; real; true; free from guilt; guiltless and innocent; chaste; free from anything improper.

Thats a big definition for pure. And Our Lady says, If you want me to listen to you, I want you to be pure. Thats what we have to strive for. Were all impure, because we live in such a tainted culture, that you cant even go outside or listen to a song or look out down the street or walk in a grocery store line without some defilement touching you. So, purity is something Our Lady is calling about. Look at the way the women dress. They dont even know theyre impure, and they cause impure thoughts walking down the streets. Our Ladys giving us a tall glass of spiritual water to drink. Its more than we can drink because its hard to see. But Shes slowly, slowly showing us. And She says, You have to be sincere, in this message yesterday. What does sincere mean? It means, pure. Those two words are connected, pure and sincere. It means, umixed. Are you startled or questioning, did I say separate? The mixture has to be unmixed. Thats the definition of sincere.

unmixed; unhurt; uninjured; being in reality what it appears to be; not feigned; not simulated; not assumed or said for the sake of appearance; real.

What is real today? What is truth today? Pilate was asking it 2,000 years ago. What is truth? I have come to testify to the truth. Whos testifying to the truth 2,000 years later? Our Lady is here for that!

Sincere also means, not to be hypocritical or pretended. Our Lady says later in the message of yesterday,

You who strive sincerely to love my Son

You could say sincerity, what does that mean? It means, honest of mind or intentions, freedom from disguise or false pretense. So, lets see whats not in the message. Whats the opposite of sincere? Insincere. What does that mean?

Not being in truth what one appears to be, disassembling, false, deceitful, not sound.

Sometimes its good to go look at the definitions of what Our Ladys saying to get a fuller meaning of what Shes intending for us.

So, for Our Lady to listen to us, to really hear us, Her character is not going to slap you like my mother did, but it worked for me. And Our Lady is going through a positive lovely way to get your attention that, you will have my ear.

Ive told this story before. I went to Medjugorje one time just to petition Our Lady. Marija was sick, she was at her house. I was the only one there. She knelt down in front of her couch, Im in the apparition to the right of her, and during that apparition, what I was doing, I was pouring out my heart to Our Lady because I had some petitions to give Her. I came to Medjugorje just specifically for this, to go in front of Her and to tell Her these things.

And you know what She did? Marija said after the apparition, she said, Our Lady did something strange today. I said, What happened? She said, She leaned over. She tilted Her head sideways and leaned over. And immediately my heart started throbbing, literally, started racing in my chest. And I realized what it meant. But I didnt want to say anything. I didnt want to lead Marija. I said, Marija, what do you think that meant? She said, She shows She was listening to us.

I went there for that! Shes giving me cognition so I can pass this on, how She is, what kind of Mother She is. And She says, as [to] a mother, with a pure heart and open heart, know that I am listening to you, encouraging you, consoling you I was consoled like you cant even believe. Whos had that kind of recognition with Our Lady? I know Shell listen if your heart is right.

And thats what She wants to do, is set you apart. Pure and sincere in following Her messages with all your heart. On February 2, 2014, Our Lady said: with motherly love I desire to teach you Do you believe Shes going to teach you? How is She going to teach you? Through the priests in the pulpit? No, Shes coming here, and Im not saying you cant learn from the pulpit. But Shes coming here literally to teach you! She says this. She says, Take these words seriously. I believe it, and I believed it in the beginning. And I started realizing what Our Lady was doing. I desire to teach you sincerity Wow.

Remember sincerity? Honesty of mind and intentions, freedom from stimulation and hypocrisy. Shes going to teach you that. Why? She says, because I desire that, in your actions as my apostles, you be exact, resolute, and above all You hear that? above all sincere. And again, sincere means:

pure, unmixed, being in reality what it appears to be.

We are to be real apostles, real people, real sincere people. For what? She says later in the message for what. I want you to be fasting, prayer, purification and reconciliation. You will have the efficiency which I seek of you. Thats a strange word to use. Efficiency. Why do we have to be efficient? Because we have a limited time. She has limited time on the earth. And Shes got to make us efficient. We have to make our right turn make a full right turn. Every step has to be going forward. Nothing backwards.

So, this encouragement, these words, all these have really profound meaning. What does Our Lady want to do? She wants you to understand youre somebody. Many people today do not have self-esteem. Theyre not doing anything. Their work is not gratifying. We have a low self-esteem from many, many people which brings depression and all kinds of other problems and even sin as a result.

Our Lady wants us to know that youre wanted, youre important, youre somebody. Thats why She says, What my Son asks of you is to have sincere, strong and deep faith then every way in which you express it is proper She wants to know that youre somebody that can actually speak about and for her and She gave the requirements of what is necessary for that to happen. And She goes on and says:

Faith is a most wonderful mystery which is kept in the heart. it is between the Heavenly Father and all of His children; it is recognized by the fruits

What does all this mean? Youre really somebody. Most people walking on the earth today are just nobodies.

We see this in the selfies, the cellphones, Facebook. Theyre showing people everywhere they walk, just like theyre a Hollywood actor, and they take a picture here. You cant go into any tourist place without people have these little poles with the cellphones. Its constant self-grandizing because in reality theres a truth as they say so by their actions, That Im trying to be somebody, and Im nobody. And youre going to be a nobody as long as you keep doing these things. When you realize youre nothing, and youre a nobody, and its God Whos somebody, and youre in the family of God, then youre somebody!

And thats what She said. This is so intimate this mystery, this wonderful mystery that God the Father is your Father. When you realize this, then you know you have great lineage because youre in the family of God.

So, we have so many people depressed who dont have faith. They dont have faith in themselves, so how can they have faith in anybody else or even in God? Theyre disillusioned. Everybody is trying to be somebody. They want to be important.

I remember when they came out with the Blackberry phone, and everybody was talking about this. And there was a study done on it that this created self-importance when two or three guys are standing there talking and then they get a call or whatever happened with the Blackberry, theyd step off to the side and talk, and it made them important. You say, Well, I dont do that. Well, the study showed that, that theres a psychological effect on that.

But were seeking to be connected. Were seeking to be somebody. People go into the city. They do these things, they go out partying, they go all this. They want to be with the somebodies. In reality, its a truth reversed that we are nobodies the way our culture is, and everybody is searching for something that theyll never find until they follow what Our Ladys messages are, to be somebody.

[SONG: SOMEBODY)

There's something different, helpin' us get lifted, helpin' us forget. There's something extra runnin' in our blood.

We're in a hatchback party with the music turned up. Got my head out the window throwing two fingers up.

Like I'm somebody, as if I'm really somebody. Tonight I am a big deal. Tonight I know just how it might feel to be somebody, like I'm really somebody. Tonight I am a big deal. Tonight I know just how it might feel.

Runnin' from the city up the motorway. They can come and get us. This time we won't run.

And I say a little prayer that the morning never comes. And I'm screaming over here from the top of my lungs.

I am somebody. As if I'm really somebody. Tonight I am a big deal. Tonight I know just how it might feel to be somebody, like I'm really somebody. Tonight I am a big deal, tonight I know just how it might feel to be somebody. As if I'm really somebody.

Tonight. Tonight.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I am somebody. I'm really, really somebody. I'm tellin' you, I'm somebody. I'm somebody.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Mary is the Spouse of the Holy Spirit, the third part of the Trinity. She gave birth to Jesus. Hes our Brother. Jesus gave His Mother, from the Cross, to John, to us today. And the daughter of God the Father is Mary. Your Brother is Jesus, your Mother is Mary, your Father is God the Father, and the Holy Spirit was the Spouse to Mary. Do you realize youre in the family of God?

And thats why Our Ladys stressing not just God, but the Heavenly Father. She doesnt just say Father, She says Heavenly Father. Because fatherhood on earth doesnt have a good name now. Its not necessarily because of the fathers, its because of the reversal of roles, Hollywood. If you look at anything more ridiculed in the world, its fatherhood. Because its not attacked on me as a father, or another father out there listening to this, or fathers across the world, its attacked against God the Father. My authority comes from God the Father.

satan first is after not Eve, but Adam. Thats the first place he wants to attack. Because its the closest attack to the fatherhood of God. Why are there so many nonbelievers? They attribute it to fatherhood. Its not necessarily just their fault, its because the whole culture hates the male when hes a father. They hate it. Look everywhere. Its denounced. Its ridiculed. Its feminized. And its damaged the image of God the Father.

Where else do you hear except in Christianity where it says, It is between the Heavenly Father and all of His children. Thats as clear as it gets. And what is his name? Is it just father? Our Lady says:

In the name of love, for your salvation, according to the will of the Heavenly Father and through my Son

There you have all of it right there. The Son, the Father Who is Love, and who you are, and your position.

Every year, in the Field of Apparitions, we have three big fires representing the Trinity. Our Lady is in the middle of that. Ive said over and over, no creature, no angel, everybody together, all their holiness, none of them can penetrate to the deepness of the Holy Trinity as the Virgin Mary, our Mother. Shes not putting out a concept, Shes putting out a real, something sincere, that you are in a family. You are there by somebody. You dont need all these external things showing who you are, where you are, where youve traveled, talking to. You dont need these things.

In fact, the more I prayed with the first cellphone, I had [???42:42] in Birmingham back a long time ago when they were a monstrosity and a big thing. I got rid of it. I felt an aversion to it, and its part of my cognition. The fact that I went to the first thing, whats the next thing to do in your business? But because I prayed, I realized this thing was bad and its going to end up bad. And it is.

So, people forgot who they are. And theyre trying to be somebody through it. You dont need that stuff. In fact, its harmful. You dont even have the mentality to understand my words now, but you will one day because the Tower of Babel is going to be destroyed and peace will descend. Our Lady is here for a plan, for a purpose. Weve got three secrets coming. This is going to happen. So, its better to be in preparation for this.

We have so many youth who have wiped out totally their childhood from almost infancy all the way to teenagers to adulthood. Because all their time, all their memories surround their cellphones, games, and electronics, and computers. What kind of memory are they making? Theyre going to have terrible memories because they dont have any.

Our children here, from morning until dark, they play. They create so many miracles. They come up to the studio door, sometimes when were broadcasting, wanting to tell us something. They come up on the third floor here throughout the day to recite a message to get a snack, and I always stop and talk to them and cut up with them. And theyve got different memories, and theyre usually telling me a story of what just happened outside, or this took place, or whatever, or a calf was just born. This is rich. This is memory. Theyre going to be able to recall back and tell their children.

In fact, my granddaughter called me last night. And she says, My mom was telling about my dad. We put a little small Christmas tree in our sunroom. Those whove visited our house, the Bedroom of Apparitions, you go out the door through the sunroom. And they said, Can we put up a little Christmas tree in there too? And we can put some things on there and petitions or some decorations on it? I said, Sure, you can do that. Thatd be great.

But see, that was a memory that my son, their father, told them enough that he I actually forgot about it. But it was enough of a memory for him that brought sweetness that Mom and Dad had told, my son and daughter-in-law, that excited them enough that they wanted to do that. Thats from a memory!

We have today what Jakov said is the tyranny of memory. We have kids and children and people raised who are so scarred, they have so many terrible memories, that Jakov was asked, after seeing Heaven, hell, and Purgatory, what were his thoughts about that? Jakov asked the Blessed Mother, and She said for us to be careful with the problem of tyranny of memory. Thats a very profound thing. If you go to Jakov, youre in a group, and say, Tell us about Heaven, hell, and Purgatory. He talks about Heaven, he talks about Purgatory. I will not tell you anything about hell. The tyranny of memory haunts him. He doesnt want to speak about it.

Ive been with Mirjana three times, asked her what the devil looked like when he appeared. Shes tried to open her mouth and start, and she stopped. Three times she couldnt do it. She said, I just cant speak of it. The tyranny of memory. People who live in hell go to hell.

But some children are raised in the middle of hell in the family where theres no love, where hatred and dissention which knows no bounds and no peace. Its total destruction. And so, if youve got that going on in your house, different situations, what do they escape to? Their cellphone. Thats going to be your memory?

But I tell you one thing thats going to be part of the tyranny of these generations that we have now of these electronics is they have no memory! Maybe a few sports and things like that. But all the hours in this, theyre not going to have any memory except doing that. What joy comes from that? What pleasure comes from that? What kind of life comes from that? Nothing! Its what I said the other day on Mejanomics, its the electronic nothing. It gives you nothing! Theres no value to it! Theres value for our children to go out and play with baby pigs. Theres value for our children to go out in a rainstorm when we have to clean up everyday and they get in the mud. Theyre making memories! And its beautiful. And then we eat supper at night, we go to the auditorium when were working together, and theyre going crazy in the auditorium. Playing! Not like idiots. Just joy. Just happy.

You dont see this anywhere. If you could crack the door and look at these children, you would say, Why are these kids so happy? Because they wake up and they play, and they go to bed playing. Free play. That doesnt exist today.

And so, what are you going to remember? Whats going to be in your memory? Tyranny of memory? You going to have to do what Our Lady says, Be careful with the problems She didnt say, Be careful with tyranny of memory. The Blessed Mother asked us to be careful of the problem of the tyranny of memories. A lot of people have bad memories today. The darkest hours they think about, and it mentally can affect you. And we have a lot of people being affected this way. Our Lady is here to change that, to heal it, to be prayed to be healed from the tyranny of memory. And I can say for this generation, its going to be the lack of memory, which is a bad memory. We live in a dangerous world. We live in a wonderful world. And the most wonderful mystery, or one of them, is faith. And wheres your children? Wheres the youth? Even young adults, wheres their faith? Its in their little God they hold.

You can say, Im tired of hearing a Friend of Medjugorje say this. Our Lady says things for the last 37 years. Are you tired of hearing that? Shes never mentioned cellphones. She has. She just doesnt say the name. She talks about the idols, the glitter, dont be mesmerized by these things, materialism, consumerism, all these things, useless chatter. But you cant see it if youre connected to what Shes talking about because youre blind to it.

So, what are you going to remember? Your darkest hours? Are you going to have pain in your memory? Is this what you want to remember in your life? Or are you going to have beautiful moments made, like my granddaughter calling last night? Just hearing about it, she was so enthralled. Can we do this?! Can we put the little Christmas tree there? Sure, lets do that. Theyre living and wanting to put into action a memory of what came from the previous generation. We have lost these things and its tragic, and Our Lady is trying to get us to go back to those things.

 

[SONG: REMEMBER]

In the darkest hour, when I cannot breathe fear is on my chest, the weight of the world on me. Everything is crashing down, everything I had known when I wonder if I'm all alone.

I remember, I remember. You have always been faithful to me. I remember, I remember even when my own eyes could not see. You were there, always there.

I will lift my eyes even in the pain above all the lies, I know You can make a way. I have seen giants fall, I have seen mountains move. I have seen waters part because of You.

I remember, I remember. You have always been faithful to me. I remember, I remember even when my own eyes could not see. You were there, always there.

I remember, I remember. You have always been faithful to me. I remember, I remember even when my own eyes could not see. You were there, always there with me.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Everything is crashing down. What will you remember? You have to make memories. You can make bad memories or good memories. Beautiful memories. Never stop thinking about Our Lady and Her goodness and the Father and His goodness. And His Son, Her Son, Whos coming this Christmas. Come to the Field of Apparitions. You can encounter Jesus in the manger. If you want to feel Christmas, if you want to make a memory. Youve never been here December 8-12, we invite you. The whole purpose is to leave here with a memory and a heart full of faith of a wonderful mystery of really celebrating the coming of the Messiah in the Field of Apparitions.

Spread this. Make a spontaneous moment to have a memory. If youve never been here through Christmas in the Field, you will not regret it. Were in the moment of making history in our past that we will recall later that will be our greatest joys to remember.

We wish you Our Lady. We love you. Goodnight.
