A Friend of Medjugorje shares an impending crisis coming to the youth, and some of the causes.

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 3rd. 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
2nd, 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]
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 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.
