"No
one can serve two masters. He will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You
cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your
life-- what you shall eat or drink-- or about your body-- what you will wear.
Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
"Look at the birds in the sky. They do not sow or
reap. They gather nothing into barns, yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are
not you more important than they? Can any of you, by worrying, add a single
moment to your life span?
"Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from
the way the wildflowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not
even Solomon in all his splendour was clothed like one of them. If God so
clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven
tomorrow, will He not much more provide for you, oh you of little faith?
"So do not worry and say, what are we to eat? Or
what shall we drink? Or what are we to wear? All these things the pagans seek.
Your Heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
"But seek first the Kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry
about tomorrow. Tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its
own evil."

This
Radio WAVE Mejanomics
with your host, a Friend of Medjugorje.
[A
FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
We
have many feedback always coming back to us, and they
cover and they send some to me. And, interesting enough, hearing from this from
all over the world, youve got different perspectives. And of course, some
people dont always speak English perfectly, but this one feedback they speak good
English. Everythings perfect in their feedback, but there was one misspelling
in the front. I thought it was pretty interesting
because it was really from the Holy Spirit. She says, In our first reunion of the year, my payer group decided 2019 to be Year
of St. Joseph.
And
I read that because its not prayer, p-r-a-y-e-r. Its p-a-y-e-r. Like paying
somebody. Payer group. It really, in reality, thats
what it is. So, what are we to think about this? To me, it brings up the
economy of salvation. Our Lady just said on February 2, 2019, this past week,
The
Heavenly Father does not unite anyone by chance Prayer groups are put together by God. And what happens from prayer
groups? You send your prayers to Heaven, the economy
of salvation brings back graces to you. You labor in prayer, you join together. And in this united group, not by chance, but
put together by Our Lady, by the Holy Spirit, by Jesus, pays back to you by
something. You receive something.
So, when
she says, In our first reunion of the
year, my payer group decided 2019 would be the year of St. Joseph. You
receive economy from this paid in graces. So, a prayer group is a payer group.
I thought that was amusing. At the same time, its not by chance because Our
Lady says nothing is by chance. Theres not a misspelled word in the whole
paragraph that follows.
Sometimes
just a misspelled word can speak to us. Everything should be reflected up,
Well, what does this mean? Ivan said, What
the world needs is prayer groups, and prayer groups would heal the world.
Thats payment, So, maybe you should start looking it at that way.
We have
another feedback on another subject asking us a question about the past
message.
[JOAN]
It
begins:
Praised be Jesus
Christ now and forever. To Caritas, thank you all for your faithfulness to
Jesus and His Mother. Could a Friend of Medjugorje speak to Our Ladys words in
which She said on February 2, 2019 quote, My Son speaks to your
souls. I speak to your heart. Unquote. I thought they were the same. Are they?
Or, how are they different? Does She mean that we perceive Jesus and Mary
speaking to us differently? One through Sacred Scriptures, Mass, and the
sacraments and personal prayer? And the other through the inspirations
throughout the days work and activities as we process Her messages in our
heart and mind? Am I making this too complicated? Mary wants things simple to
understand. Thank you so much. Monica from Caledonia, MN.
[A FRIEND
OF MEDJUGORJE]
It is
simple. And Our Lady does want things to be simple. She does not want us to
make things complicated. Its real simple. The soul is
something thats eternal. So, mans soul is not derived from his parents. We
dont receive that. We receive from our parents our body. Theres no
possibility for evolution of your soul because its the spiritual substance.
Its not made from flesh. Its not subject to the laws of nature physically.
And it could never be, without any possibility, develop from lower material
from a form of life like us.
But the
heart is. The heart is something of the flesh meaning that its a vital organ.
The word heart always awakens an idea of a material heart. It throbs, its
within our bosom, and we intimately connect it to our body. Its something
thats inside of us. So, what does Our Lady mean when She says, My Son
speaks to your souls. I speak to your heart?
We have to understand the context of whats being said. The
heart said in this way is really symbolic. Its a word
that weve assigned to the heart when we speak like this in symbolic language.
When Our Lady says on September 2, 2013, I needapostles who, with an open
heart which means you have to symbolically transfer that language to what
Our Ladys speaking about when She says, I speak to your heart In
other words, the symbol is divested of its material meaning. And so, we turn that
into something else. What is it?
What Our
Lady is doing is speaking to our emotional and moral life. Thats what Shes
talking about. Thats what Shes saying. Not our heart of flesh, but the moral
life. Its associated with what Shes addressing you to. In other words, what
She suggests by doing this is the thought that the heart brings
to mind courage and love. Thats why we have the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Why did He show that? Why do we have the Immaculate Heart of Mary?
When Marija finished her chapel and consecrated it to Our Lady, She asked Our Lady to name the chapel. We were very much a
part of that when it was being built. We laid the foundation in Medjugorje with
it. We helped her with it, even gave her some ideas about to start it. Because
so many people were coming into her house, I told her, Marija, you need to have something outside
where people can stay there, come to the apparitions, because you cant close
it down. That resulted in this chapel, so there was a lot of effort into
it. They put their heart into it.
And so,
during an apparition, she gives it to Our Lady and said, Would you name this chapel? Our Lady didnt say a word. She
tilted Her head, smiled, and with Her finger pointing to Her heart, She made a shape of the heart. And then She made, out of two
fingers, a V, meaning two. And with that thought, Marija
understood that Our Lady was naming it The Chapel of Two Hearts. Is that not
beautiful?
See,
there were no words there. Marija didnt hear Her say
anything. She saw an image of being traced on Our Ladys heart and holding up
the signal of two, and immediately Our Lady spoke to her heart without words,
in a profound way saying, The Chapel of Two Hearts. Im telling you there
will be people 100 years from now in a line for hours with an appointment to be
able to consecrate themselves in the Chapel of Two Hearts. Thats a very
profound thing.
That was
the 20th anniversary of the apparitions, 2001. And so, they wanted
to ask Our Lady to name the chapel. They did a novena, and they were set for
the 20th anniversary of the apparitions in 2001, and Our Lady gave
this. And She spoke to the heart. Does it mean the flesh of the heart of Jesus
and the flesh of the heart of Mary? No, it means something beyond that.
And so,
the symbolic thing is really very useful in designating the person above
everything, love. These ideas about the heart are confirmed that it was put
into the heart of man when Jesus made the object of the devotion of Sacred
Heart at the chapel in France. Ive been there. Its a powerful thing. The
Sacred Heart of Jesus is symbolic, but at the same time, its real because its
part of the emotions. Its part of the moral life.
Our Lady
is addressing us this way. We feel emotions from the heart, we feel love from
the heart. You feel that yearning. You feel in your heart what it wants. So,
the character of the heart in this way is an emblem of love of God and love for
each other and what Our Lady asks us to do. The heart is affected by
sentiments, virtue, and again, the emotional and the moral.
So, to
answer that question, we have to look into these
things and see what Our Lady is speaking about when She says, My Son
speaks to your souls. I speak to your heart And then She adds to that, As
a mother I am saying to you: set out with me, love one another Shes
defining, when She speaks to us, what does that mean. Can Our Lady speak to you?
Yes. And this is the part that Shes bring up, this new efficacy, this new way,
to show us that She literally is giving us a new language to our heart, that She
will speak to us. It may be in thought. Or you can feel that.
How is it
through the centuries that the heart represents love, even romance, attachment?
My heart is attached to such and such. All these attachments, if theyre virtuous,
have love. Youve heard the term of cold heart. Weve had the Scriptures saying
toward the end, The love of the heart of
man will grow cold. Our Lady says January 23, 1986, I call you to prayer
with the heart We have people out there with hard hearts, criminals, mean,
hateful people, no conscience. But this is what Our Lady says to our hearts, I
call you to prayer with the heart
Whats going
to happen if you pray with the heart? She says, If you pray with the heart
And then She tells you what happens, If you pray with the heartthe ice of
your brothers hearts will melt and every barrier shall
disappear Thats pretty profound. So, the heart represents
something very hateful. At the same time, our hearts are supposed to be open to
pray and to be an ice breaker opening these hearts up.
She goes on
and says, Conversion will be easy for all who desire to accept it [And
this is a] gift by whichyou must obtain for your neighbor How? By having
an open heart. How? By prayer. On March 2, 2017, Our Lady says, Look at me
with the heart, speak to me as to a mother about your pains sufferings and joys
She literally wants you to talk to Her, heart to heart.
So, you say,
Whats the difference between Jesus speaking
to our soul? Because, thats purely a spiritual thing, but our emotion and
moral side of it has to do with our life, our being, our flesh. She wants our flesh
guided by morals, by the heart.
In the same
message, Our Lady gives a 16-word sentence, but in that sentence, She says the same word five times. What kind of sentence is that?
Its this kind. She says, after, Look at me with the heart, speak to me as
to a mother So, She wants you talk to Her like that,
about what? As a mother. And then She goes into the next sentence and She says,
pray, pray, pray with the heart, pray with love, pray with good works
Five times She says pray. Thats the only way to open your heart, and when you open
your heart, She can address it. And She literally will.
Youll hear thoughts in your heart. Youll be prompted what to do. All you have to do is what we quoted earlier. I need humble apostles
who, with an open heart, will accept the Word of God And that will, help
others to comprehend the meaning of their life alongside of Gods word And
then She goes on and says how. How will you be able to do that? She says, To
be able to do this, my children, through prayer and fasting you mustlisten with
the heart
So, you have to pray. You have to fast. And
you will be listening with the heart. So, its just not Her speaking. She says,
I want to speak to your heart. But you
have to learn how to listen. How? Fast and pray, and youll
learn to listen.
This mission
wouldnt be where it was, our Community wouldnt be where it is if we werent listening
to Our Lady. Weve had to learn how to do that. Weve had to put ourselves in the
proper disposition for that. If you dont pray in the right way, youre never going
to hear Our Lady. Youre not putting your heart into it.
October, 1985, Shes crying when She
says these words, There are many who finish their prayers, even without entering
into them. You will never hear words of the heart. Youll never understand
Jesus speaking to the soul if you dont pray.
So, reread,
She has three questions about Jesus and Our Lady speaking
one to the soul, one to the heart.
[JOAN]
So, Shes referring to Our Ladys words, quote, My Son speaks
to your souls. I speak to your heart Unquote. Monica says, I thought they were the same. Are they? Or,
how are they different? Does She mean we perceive Jesus and Mary speaking to us
differently, one through Sacred Scriptures, Mass, and the sacraments and personal
prayer? And the other through inspirations throughout the days work and activities
as we process Her messages in our heart and mind? Am I making this too complicated?
[A FRIEND
OF MEDJUGORJE]
Well, lets
look at the situation. Jesus had a side of Him that was very severe. He rebuked
Peter and said, Get behind Me, you satan. He was severe many times with the Pharisees
calling them six times hypocrites. Woe
to you, you hypocrites. Calling them like whitewashed tombs full of dead
mans bones and every kind of filth, evil-doers, serpents, brood of vipers. He told
the Canaanite woman, wanting a miracle, that she was a dog. He went into the Temple
in a rage, turned it upside down, whipping the people and animals outside of the
Temple. And when the fig tree gave no fruit, He cursed it! He told the townspeople
of Capernaum, It will go better for Sodom
and Gomorrah than for you. And it was buried for 2,000 years. They just
found Capernaum in the 50s.
Jesus was
severe when He was talking about the final judgment. Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil
and his angels. So, whats the difference in Jesus and Our Lady? There
is a difference between Our Lady and Jesus. But they have the same goal. Jesus was
love but was very manly and fatherly. Mary was love, but very womanly and motherly.
Thats the difference. And so, one speaks to the soul, because He wants to save
it, and sometimes He has to be severe to that. And Our
Lady wants to address your heart as a Mother.
Mary was never
the way Jesus was in His severity. She never was severe. Shes all love as a mother.
And thats why He sent Her to the world because Jesus doesnt need to come back
right now, because when He comes back, its going to be severe! The Scriptures say
that. People paint Jesus as some kind of pacifist. He never
got angry. He never got upset. Yes, He was extremely in love, yes, very forgiving.
But, He had traits as a man, as a mans man, actually,
of what a man should be like. And His counterpart, Mary, is what a woman should
be, and how motherly She is.
So, I want
to close this out with Our Ladys new efficacy. God has given Her the power to speak
to us a new language. The word the February 2 message was talking about, the Fathers
revelations. Shes talking about Her being about to speak to us. He speaks words
of eternal life to you. Shes speaking about our life on earth for eternal life.
And She gives
us a promise, incredible. whoever acts in the light of merciful love and truth
is always Not sometimes. is always helped by Heaven and is not alone
These are incredible things Our Lady is revealing to us. These revelations about
the Bible, echoed by Her revelations, privately, that what we are dealing with today.
She will speak to you. She has this new power. Its there.
And I end
with this, October 29, 1983, Our Lady says, I give you my heart; accept it!
I would not want to distress you, nor to stop talking to you, but I cannot stay
always with you. You have to get used to it. In the
meantime, I wish to be constantly with you, with the heart. It is necessary to
pray much, not to say: If today we have not prayed, it is nothing serious We
are in a moment of deathly seriousness. We have to understand
that when we do something with the heart, you do it with everything you have in
your very being. And thats how Our Lady wants you to talk to Her.
So, She continued on this October 29, 1983 message, "You
must strive to pray. Prayer is the only road which leads to peace. If you pray
and fast, you will obtain everything that you ask for." And what is
She asking of us? To open our hearts so that well understand what it is that were
to pray for.
And so, to
answer this question, were dealing with Jesus and Mary, the soul and the heart.
And its up to your heart to learn these things and make things come into being
that is ready to be gifted to you from Heaven, all the blessings.
We wish you
Our Lady. We love you. Goodbye.
