"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."

[ANNOUNCER]

This is Mejanomics with a Friend of Medjugorje.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Everything is built around mentalities. The world drives itself by the way people think. Thinking is something very important. If theres anything Our Ladys here for, its to change our thinking. What do we think about God? What do we think about when we dont think about God? Everything really is related to thinking, because thinking is what motivates our actions, our movements, what we do, follow the Commandments or dont follow the Commandments. Everythings tied to the mind and the decision which is driven by the flesh. The soul is always fighting that thinking in the sense of have the proper thoughts with God, the proper thinking. If theres anything Our Ladys here for, its to change our mentality. Metanoia which means change ones mentality.

So, Our Ladys messages are our answer. Its interesting that God doesnt come down and do things with the belt and whip and all these things to change us. Its just words. And Our Ladys messages are just words if you dont take them, they are to be the guide of our life. How do you follow Our Lady for 30 years and remain the same thing you are? You can only do that if you just look at Our Ladys words as words. Our Lady said a long time ago, do not listen to the news. Do not read newspapers because afterwards your heads are filled with facts and you can no longer pray. And if you cant pray because of that competition of the news, you wont be able to change the mentality because youll never get the correct perspective.

We have probably one negative come in to 50 positive letters that come into us. And it still amazes me that people say theyre following Our Lady, theyre doing what Shes saying, and they havent changed and theyre so warped. We have a letter, a feedback, who wants to be taken off our mail list which we gladly do that. But its amazing statements that she says. So dont think that everybodys changing and that everybodys going to follow Our Lady, even when were thinking that everybody loves Our Lady, that they have the proper thoughts. The following feedback shows you somebody rutted into their life for 30 years and has everything wrong in what they say.

[JOAN]

To the Caritas Community, I am writing to inform you that after more than 30 years I will no longer be supporting a Friend of Medjugorje and Caritas. I am increasingly saddened by his right-wing rants. The Big Q, Little Q book was the last straw. I cannot support an organization which is spreading lies about Trump and the Q conspiracy and even worse is linking Our Ladys messages to this nonsense. I am a prolife Democrat. It is Democrats who seek to further all of Jesus social justice policies, protect the middle class, and protect the earth, which is in severe peril.

Trump and his cronies are only looking out for themselves, the top 1% of the rich and big corporations. They dont care about the poor or working class. They dont even care about America. Its a sad joke when he hugs the glad. Trump is not draining the swamp; he is the swamp. He is the most dishonest, selfish criminal, unchristian-like man to ever hold the office of the presidency. He is more like the anti-Christ than a chosen instrument of God. Wake up! It is the right wing who are being duped by lying voices.

Although I love Our Lady and Jesus and wish to promote Her messages, I can no longer support a Friend of Medjugorjes political agenda. In the Love of God, Elaine from West Islip, New York.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Read what the front of her envelope says too. That says a lot about her.

[JOAN]

It says, Americans dont eat horses.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Really?! I dont like horses. When I first went to Yugoslavia they were giving hotdogs and then Marijas brother Andrija came to our place here and patted one of our horses on the back end and he said, Mmm. I said, What are you doing? He said, This will be good. Because it was a big fat Belgium. And I said, Andrija, what are you talking about? He said, Oh, we eat this. And I said, Ew! I would never eat that! And he said, Youve been eating it at my house every time you come eat a hotdog. I said, Ew, gross. But, people that put things on the envelope that say, Americans dont eat horses. What kind of person is this? What kind of mentality?

She said, I am increasingly saddened by his right-wing rants. I am saddened that this person, for 30 years, hasnt learned anything, cannot see anything. I am a prolife Democrat. How can you be a prolife Democrat when the platform is for murder? For Planned Parenthood, for everything thats evil? So, the Democrats just recently voted 100%. Actually three Democrats didnt vote, but almost all the Democrats voted for murder, outright infanticide. After a babys born it can be killed. How do you say, I am a prolife Democrat? Thats a lie. When shes saying that were promoting lies. Youre lying to yourself. And then she says, It is the Democrats who seek to further all of Jesus social justice policies, protect the middle class and protect the earth which is in severe peril. These people believe in climate change which is a lie, the worlds going to end in 10 years which is a lie. That the Democrats are for social justice, its socialist justice. How erred can a mentality be that it cannot recognize when Our Lady comes and speaks to us?

And Im bringing this up not to be defensive about what were doing but for an example that we want to go into today actually about silver. Because, how people are brainwashed, how theyre so warped in their outlook, and how much they go along with what theyre told and are completely consumed by a lie and, cronies? Thats who we are? Its the rant of the left, the rich, the big corporations, all these things. And, anti-Christ? Obama was an anti-Christ! I wrote that in 2012. I said he was a tyrant. And now its all manifesting. Its provable. Its there. People are seeing it. Go back and read They First the First Shot 2012. Everything happening right now was written there. And its more important to read now because you can put more faith in Our Ladys messages because thats how I saw it. I could see it through that.

So, the political agenda is not mine, but I do have an agenda, and thats to open the messages so that you can see the future of where the world is headed. And so, we can take this erred mentality, unchanging after 30 years, not growing to be able to see the truth, but encompasses a lie and say those who are seeing the truth are living a lie. And this where we are today in our economic situation in regard to what weve grown in to. So, our read is a little bit of a long read. Well break it up and explain it, but its important to go into this to see where so many people have the mentality of this woman who lives in New York that are so off base. That we have the same situation existing, believing in falsehood, about our economic situation and what is real.

Weve gone into a system that has become so complicated, so complex and advanced that everybody daily makes exchanges throughout the day in a lie. And were all caught up in it. How do you get out of it? Well answer that after this read.

[JOAN]

This comes from the book Team of Teams written by General Stanley McChrystal.

We were stronger, more efficient, more robust. But Al Queda in Iraq was agile and resilient. In complex environments, resilience often spells success, while even the most brilliantly engineered fixed solutions are often insufficient or counterproductive.

Scientist Brian Walker describes resilience as the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance and still retain its basic function and structure. In a complex world, disturbances are inevitable, making such a capacity to absorb shocks increasingly important. As a result, resilience is increasingly being studied across a wide variety of disciplines. Few examples of the concept are more dramatic than the shifting Dutch approach to water.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

In other words, we have things happening in our world that is going to increase in necessity of resilience. In other words, if you get shocked by something, something knocks you down, are you set up where you have resilience? So, theres a whole science coming together right now about resilient thinking. Ive always felt like Ive had resilient thinking. If youre in the work of Our Lady, youre going to have to be resilient because youre going to get attacked and knocked down all the time. And, if you dont have the ability or the avenues to get back where you need to be, the attacks that come to you and those things that knock you down will keep you down. So, well continue with this read.

[JOAN]

Were going to go into an example that they give about the Dutch and how, what their approach to water has been in the past.

On the last day of January 1953, a windstorm on the North Sea and a full moon joined forces to create a massive storm tide that swamped low-lying areas in the east of England and Scotland. On the other side of the North Sea, in the southwest corner of the Netherlands where the Rhine River fractures into a tangle of estuaries and low-lying islands, the tide swept over the dikes and poured into the aptly named province of Zeeland. It swallowed up homes, schools, and hospitals, claiming more than 1,800 lives. For this small, developed, prosperous, and water-savvy country, it was a shocking calamity.

As a result, the Dutch built the Delta Works. It was completed in 1997 and was a massive forty-year-long construction project that links dams, storm surge barriers, and sluices, and effectively shortens the coastline in need of protection by dikes. The American Society of Civil Engineers considered the Delta Works one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Had the system been in place in 1953, it would have protected Zeeland from the North Sea flood. However, a robust protection against a known threat is not always sufficient; in complex systems, threats can flow from many places.

In 1993 and 1995, snowmelt in the Swiss Alps met with heavy rainfall downstream and the Rhine swelled, surging from Switzerland through Germany to the Netherlands. Zeeland flooded, with 250,000 people evacuated and hundreds of millions of dollars in damage occurred. In regard to the Delta Works, such predicted design is fine in complicated environments, but often dangerous in complex ones. While a command and control approach of high levees and floodwalls decreased the risk of small floods, it actually increased the risks of larger, more devastating floods. The drive to optimize created a new type of threat.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

So, the Delta Works was so fantastic that they said its one of the Wonders of the World. They thought about everything. They planned for everything, all the things that could happen. And here it is, they come from behind a snowmelt, flood rains, fills up the Rhine River. Ive been on the Rhine with my wife a few years ago. There are castles that are all around the Rhine River and its a big river. So, it came back from the back door when they had all their dikes and everything facing the wrong way. They didnt anticipate that. And thats whats being made in this point that our complex culture has gotten so complicated that weve having to add more things in to anticipate shocks to be able to absorb it and keep running. And this is dangerous. And, to think that the science is coming out now of resilient thinking is to anticipate all these things and build it into the system. And theyre doing that. Weve got a complex world, but were complicating it.

[JOAN]

So, again, reading from the book Team of Teams, The drive to optimize created a new type of threat. If you fight nature, nature is going to strike back, referring to the Dutch trying to create a situation where they will be insulated from the attacks of nature. Going on it says, Countries and organizations are now stepping away from predictability and focusing on increasing resilience instead.

Resilience thinking is a burgeoning field that attempts to deal in new ways with the new challenges of complexity. In a resilience paradigm, managers accept the reality that they will inevitably confront unpredicted threats; rather than erecting strong specialized defenses, they create systems that aim to roll with the punches, or even benefit from them. Resilient systems are those that can encounter unforeseen threats and, when necessary, put themselves back together again. Investor and writer Nassim Taleb captures a similar concept with the term antifragile systems. Fragile systems, he argues, are those that are damaged by shocks; robust systems weather shocks; and antifragile systems, like immune systems, can benefit from shocks.

Resilience thinkers argue that we have inadvertently fragilized many of the systems that surround us. Our urge to specialize, reap efficiencies, and impose our demands for unnatural predictability has created new threats and damaged our ability to bounce back.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

So, the writer of this book is advocating that weve gone to a complexity of being more complicated and that requires us to be able to absorb more shocks that will bring the system down. But its really a lie in a way. And hes advocating for businesses and operations and I understand what hes saying and its true. You have to be able to plan for if this thing happens, so if this goes down over here, way over here on the other side of the world, it wont happen there. But weve become so integrated.

And thats what complex actually means: composed of two or more parts or things, not simple. Including two or more particular connected. Complicated means the same thing except interwoven and entangled. And we are more complicated today than ever. Everything is integrated. Everything can affect the next thing, like a domino, even though its just one domino you have to touch. And you can go a mile away and they have these domino tests and these tournaments. You have unbelievable distances and all you have to do is tap the first domino. And the thing can run 20 minutes down through there. You got to image these things like the dominos of how integrated weve become, how interwoven everything is, and how much more difficult it is to be absorbing these things. So, we have to be always active in doing this.

Why did I bring this up? Because we have a complex world that is growing, daily, more complicated and is going to have more resilient thinking to be resilient to keep things running. I was in Switzerland, with my wife, and theres a clock over the town and its a huge clock. I guess the face of the clock on the tower is probably 20 feet across. So, we went up there to the tower, we went inside, its amazing thing. For them it was complex. But what was running it was a few gears made out of wood, and it was two, three stories up. We walked inside of the tower and theres a big rock in a pouch that, by gravity, just like an old grandfather clock, goes down to two, three stories, and then they pull it back up. When that rock hits the bottom, another rock starts, and they pull the other rock back up. Its complex when you look at it, but its a simple complex. The keeper of the clock of the village was very important because they didnt have pocket watches. So everybody was looking at that at the time of what was going on with this. And it was the most important job in the whole village. We sat there probably for an hour and a half just watching this. To me it was amazing how simple it was, but for that time it was something complex, except a simple complex.

You lay a watch next to that, open it up, and its very complicated! Its so much more advanced, that crude clock, but it spoke to me in so many ways. And Ive gone back there two, three times, and I always go back to that tower and just sit there and meditate. Its an amazing thing to see that. If anything happened with that clock, the resilience of getting that thing back running was simply resetting it with a sun dial. Because they have a sundial nearby there. But its not going to break. A rope could break or whatever. So, it was complex and at the same time, but it wasnt complicated.

Our Lady tells us on August 11, 1984, Dear children, pray, because satan wishes to complicate my plans still further This is where we are today in the world. There are so many deceptions and we have to come up with these new books, Team of Teams, which has some marvelous things in there, but its really guiding us down a road of how to continue the seconds and the minutes and the hours going by that were getting more integrated, more entangled, that when one domino goes down, everything goes down. And just like this letter from our friend who rejects everything I say, which Im ok with that. It doesnt hurt my feelings. It just knows were cleaning up our mail list because we want people off the mail list. If youre not going to change, dont follow us. Our Lady is saying that. Because youre rejecting Our Lady. Youre rejecting truth.

In 1984, Our Lady said, Do not complicate matters So, resilience thinking today is different from whats being said. But we have a little bit more of this read so you can understand this better.

[JOAN]

As environmentalists David Salt and Brian Walker explain in their book Resilience Thinking, quote, Men are great optimizers. We look at everything around us, whether a cow, a house, or a share portfolio, and ask ourselves how we can manage it to get the best return. Our modus operandi is to break the things were managing down into its component parts and understand how each part functions and what inputs will yield the greatest outputs [but] the more you optimize elements of a complex system of man and nature for some specific goal, the more you diminish that systems resilience. A drive for efficient optimal state outcome has the effect of making the total system more vulnerable to shocks and disturbances. Unquote.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

So, all thats said that brings arrogance to man. We have to be more believers of ourselves, more self-confident that we can deal with all these problems while we create the problems. We used to have a computer, IBM, system 34. The thing weighed 500 pounds. It was about eight feet across, four by four. And the thing worked! It was simple. Our mail list when we started Caritas was great. It always did what we wanted it to do. And then we got a system 36, it was refined. It was much more advanced, a little bit smaller, still a dinosaur. And it worked great! It was the best two computers we ever had! PCs came up after that and they were OK at the beginning because it was just two or three people that had designed this thing, the IBM systems. Yes, there are teams that develop, and is it advanced? Two or three more people are behind a computer. Youve got Apple. The development of PCs from there. And you can manage that thing and everything was there and you can figure it out.

But we got more complicated. And as we advanced into PCs, you had more people behind that, and it was you versus 20 people, you versus 200 people, you versus 2,000 people, you versus 200,000 people. Theyre so complicated and you cant figure these things out. You cant go through a whole day. You cant get on a computer without it causing problems. And so, this resilience becomes harder to have because weve complicated things. Our Lady said, Do not complicate matters. Yes, you can walk on a deeper spiritual way but you will have difficulties. Take the simple way, do not delve into your problems, but let yourselves be guided by Jesus Christ."

Our lives are guided by computers, cell phones, the technology, everything, and were trying to figure out how to defeat nature? And they thought they had the seventh Wonder of the World in Holland. And out of the backdoor comes the Rhine River flooding everything. You know what they had to do? Well, what wasnt read that was in the book was they had to go back to the dikes and lower them to allow nature to flood the farmland because they were trying to control too much so they had to let nature do what it did. And that way, letting some of it flood, it protected the other areas.

So, what is all this about? you may say. And where is a Friend of Medjugorje going with this? We are deceived. We think were going to get more complicated and everythings going to work. That clock in Icitylin has been running for centuries and its an amazing thing to see that and its dead accurate. It used to, you could work on a combustion engine. In fact, we just had somebody write us from Australia, Im about to lose my job because I work on cars here as a mechanic in Australia. We actually did a broadcast on this man because he says he thinks he needs to go back to the soil because his job is going away because you cant work on engines anymore. See, so whats his resilience? He cant come back up, you cant fight computers, you dont have resilience against that.

Our mission here is so resilient. Ive said before, the closer you are to the soil, the closer you are to God. The closer you are to God, the closer you are to resilience if something knocks you down. Our system here has a lot of modern things in it. But were able to shift to the right, left, up and down, backwards and keep running. We have built resilience in our mission because of the messages. Weve patterned our life on that. And thats why we encourage you to give back to the soil. Its a beautiful thing that were not out there cranking a crank, generating the grass to grow out of the ground. Gods doing it! And He puts the sunshine on it. He puts the water on it. The cows give us manure for it to grow, and the cow eats the grass. We eat the cow, or we drink its milk. The Dutch had to learn that, Hey, we built these dykes too good, and it caused us a problem. So, they lower the dykes, allowing the flood. You have to work with God. You have to work with nature.

But that brings us to the whole point of why were saying all these things. We have a complex economic system. What was it? Every dollar we had, we had silver backing it up. Every dollar we had, we had gold at Fort Knox backing it up. We didnt print anymore money out there equaling to in storage of gold and silver. And it was a complex system, but it wasnt complicated. Weve gone on all kinds of markets. Weve done all kinds of things, and the lie we have is just like what this woman wrote about, as everybody believes that the dollar bill has value. It is worthless. It is worth nothing. And were getting further and further and deeper and deeper into a system, economically, that cant survive a major shock. One domino, and then the other end, another domino. A flood rain, a snow melt. And it all comes from both ends and crash, and everything sinks, overnight! Instantly! And so, thats why weve encouraged people to go to truth! What is truth? To store dollars? To be in investments? To be in the stock markets? Your wealth can only be preserved in a way of life, in land, in soil, growing your food. But if you cant get to there immediately, you take your funds, and you turn it into silver, because thats real. It wont disappear. Its not a lie. Its Gods truth. He put intrinsic value into it, and silver and gold. But silver is the exchange of man.

So, what does this calculate out, what Im talking about, money, and were not backing it. Its arrogance. Its not humble. We have to be humble before God. We have a complicated complexity in our system that lacks humility, and it will be humbled.

[JOAN]

So, to finish this read from Team of Teams, it states:

Resilience thinking is the inverse of predictive arrogance or self-confidence. It is based in a humble willingness to know that we dont know and expect the unexpected, old tropes that often receive lip service, but are usually disregarded in favor of optimization.

So, this is a good time to get an update with Century Silver.

[JASON]

Well, its very clear, based on the read and what youve said today, a Friend of Medjugorje, that the global financial systems are what these resilience thinkers referred to as very, very fragile systems. Theres nothing that we can really do about that on an individual basis. So, the question becomes, What can I do personally? Well, you can build a personal, financial system for yourself, for your family, for your loved ones, that is resilient. A big, big part of that financial system that you can build for yourself is silver. And of course, the next question would be, why would you do anything other than the Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Round? Not only protecting and preserving your wealth, but sanctifying it as well by helping produce conversions with it.

So, what is the Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Round? It is a one-ounce silver piece designed by a Friend of Medjugorje and released in 2010. It has an image of the Miraculous Medal on either side of the round and also contains images of Medjugorje. So, the purpose of this round is that, when you obtain these silver ounces, and they begin to pass out into circulation in the future, others will have these rounds, and they will have in front of them the images of Our Lady on the Miraculous Medal, which She renewed and reinvigorated through one of Her Medjugorje messages that was given in 1989.

But theres just so many moving parts in the global economy today, and just to use one little example, again, from the Netherlands, they built a gigantic wall, but they could not plan for it. They did not know the unexpected that something was coming behind that wall. And to just use one example, with the release of Big Q, Little Q: The Calm Before the Storm, just the title itself, we know a storm is coming in our nation. What effect is that going to produce in the financial markets? Can you plan against that? Can you prepare against that? Well, as weve read today, and what you can reason out by common sense, is that you can position yourself, at least somewhat, to be in a more resilient position to absorb whatever shock may come from this. The stock markets may soar. They may drop. The prices of precious metals may climb. They may drop as well. We dont know whats going to happen, but we do know that history teaches that holding physical silver means that, historically, you hold real money, and you can exchange or value, even if the financial systems are collapsed.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

And superior to that is land, is cow, is pig, is your own milk. So, were not advocating that, but the quickest thing you can do with your wealth is to move it into safe haven, whether it goes down or goes up, youre not getting it for investment. Youre getting it for preservation until you can get to land, because you cant just go buy land tomorrow. You cant just change over. Were still working 30 years on our system here to get more resilient. And weve grown more resilient every year. Were not even where we need to be. And the reason for that is because our mission is first. We put ourselves second. We have starved ourselves to get where we are. But were a mission, and thats based and rooted into the message of February 25, 1988, sacrifice your lives for the salvation of the world Thats our first reason to live. Thats our first purpose. When we get around to our needs, then we do it.

So, were in just as much a struggle as you are in taking care of our needs, but we do it for the reasons that we dont want to use donations to live by, and we want to have less and less cash need to make our way of life. And it is difficult to do it.

So, the first steps in this, is go out immediately and make sure youve insured enough of your funds or your savings or your retirement or your 401ks or whatever it may be, into solid wealth. In addition with those Miraculous Medal Medjugorje Rounds, are put into the means of exchange for whatever youre exchanging it for, it brings conversion. So, its a holy purpose, and when you do things first for a spiritual reason, the fruit that comes from it is always good.

So, one word about the book Big Q, Little Q: The Calm Before the Storm by a Friend of Medjugorje, this book is making a tsunami across the world. Just the other day, we were speaking with someone who does a lot of work with Medjugorje, and they asked us, How does a Friend of Medjugorje write so much? And we answered by telling a story when a Friend of Medjugorje was with a composer who we work with, actually, the Radio WAVE themes that you hear, the Mejanomics themes that you hear, a Friend of Medjugorje asked this composer, How do you just come up with music like that? And this composer turned the question right around, then asked a Friend of Medjugorje, Well, how do you write the books you write? And a Friend of Medjugorje said, Well, its just inside me. And he said, Well, thats how I write the music.

A Friend of Medjugorje writes the music of the messages and the words that Our Lady gives to him, and Big Q, Little Q is the latest release that has been changing mentalities across the world. The books are available directly with Caritas, on mej.com. You can also order them on Amazon.com. We encourage you to order them by the case. Theres 56 in a case. We pass the paper costs on to you and you can get them for as little as $2.00 each. The audiobook for Big Q, Little Q is also available on CD. Its also available as an Mp3 CD. Its available as an Mp3 download as well. And pretty soon, it will also be available in Audible, iTunes, and the Amazon Store. The Kindle version of the book is also available, which you can get on Amazon.com. And within the first few days, Big Q, Little Q ranked within the top three books in the religion and politics category. So, amongst thousands of books, it still is actually within the top five books at this moment.

We mentioned yesterday to stay connected, that there are many things coming soon, many new releases. One thing some of you know, that a Friend of Medjugorje has also been featured on other radio broadcasts, for example, the Liberty Roundtable, which he is on several times a month. Over the last several years, he has not gone and done as much outside speaking from Caritas just because of the growth of the mission and our expansion, and just now, he is starting to break this open again, which means, very soon, we are in the midst of planning several evangelization trips, where a Friend of Medjugorje will, once again, get on the road and will be going to locations near you. And theres some information on mej.com and also a place where you could also request that to happen. We obviously cannot honor every single request, because there are already, a lot of requests already pending right now at this moment. But just to let you know that he is, once again, going to get on the road and to give a witness with what Our Lady has done with him and how She has changed the way he has thought about everything. And that is what you get on these broadcasts, and that is what you get in the new book Big Q, Little Q: The Calm Before the Storm. And these books are continuing to change the way people think, and that is the grace that these books are carrying across the world, and the world events are proving the rest.

[THEME MUSIC]

[ANNOUNCER]

You are listening to Mejanomics with a Friend of Medjugorje. In just a moment, a Friend of Medjugorje will conclude todays broadcast.

Mejanomics is revolutionary in the Medjugorje world. A Friend of Medjugorje was the first to take the messages of Our Lady and place them as a template over every topic, economics, politics, family, the Church, etc. No topic is left without being viewed 360 degrees with the bias of the Medjugorje message. We wish to thank the Caritas Field Angels, our dedicated financial supporters, who help keep these broadcasts on the air for the whole world, free of charge. Thank you.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

As we close, Id like to tell you how I felt when I first got involved with Medjugorje.

I had a frustration. How do you see people when you get back from Medjugorje, and youre so excited about telling them something, but you really cant? How do you explain Medjugorje? You cant do that. If you see them in a grocery store, you only have a few seconds, and you cant explain Medjugorje. So, I put together, at the time, a tape, Between Heaven and Earth, that told the whole story about Medjugorje. And we sold these things for cost, and people were buying them by the hundreds, and they introduced a lot of people to Medjugorje. And we had cases and cases. I think the first year, we had orders for 100,000 of these tapes. It was very, very successful. And that brought the concept of my writings that I would put out to explain Medjugorje, that people could order for only the cost of the paper and distribute these things about different subjects. We have hundreds and hundreds of writings of short books and books that I really wanted to evangelize, but didnt have the capability.

So, it evolved through prayer, through Our Lady, to arm everybody out there. They cant own a print shop. They cant come up with the monies. Weve got a multi-million-dollar print shop. It took all the money to build that system. It takes a lot of money to continue that. But were still producing things for nothing, that you can take and use this evangelization material, whether its about divorce, whether its about money, whether its about government, whatever it may be about, weve got the material, after 32 years, to arm you, with very little money, as if you were going to print it yourself. You cant go anywhere and re-print what we give to you for the price we do it. How do we do it? We paid for all the equipment. We dont have any debt. But we have to expand our base.

How to Change Your Husband is just one example that has stopped tens of thousands of divorces and healed marriages. We had a Croatian come into our Mission House in Medjugorje. He said, I want 4,000 of these books. We produced them, gave it to him. He had a conference in Bosnia. Theres no place you can go and get this material, even in China, at the price we give it to you.

So, we can take this book, if somebody googles I want a divorce, and we can have an add right there. We can have another add underneath the tragedy of divorce, breaking up family. We can have all over the internet. We can have advertisement there. In other words, if we had hundreds of thousand of dollars, we would be capturing people, saving marriages, saving people, whatever the topic is, money, all these things, we could put adds all over the place if we had a $200 or $300 budget a month! Its not a matter of would it work. It does work! Weve seen it!

So, we need to expand our base. We need to get out more. Big Q, Little Q is going down avenues of people who dont even know Who the Virgin Mary is. And yet, theyre accepting it. We have to have more Field Angels. We have to have Field Angels tithe at least 5%. The Church says tithe 10%, 5% to the Church and 5% to where you want it to go. If the church is not feeding, give 10% to Caritas. We are in a situation where people are starving spiritually, looking for the answer, and we have it! And its delivered from Heaven! And it works! Its not theoretical. If we got $1 million a month, you would see millions of dollars worth of conversion. We hear it constantly.

So, reevaluate. Talk to your friends. Get in prayer groups and encourage people to give to this mission. We need funds now, more than ever, and nobody is more efficient than what we are for the dollar you will give, what it results in the conversion that comes from it.

So, I want to be really strong about this. We need to be supported financially. We need to be supported through prayer. And we give our life to you for that purpose and this whole mission. Were praying for you to reflect on all these things that were saying, especially supporting this mission, both through prayer and through your gifts.

We wish you Our Lady. We love you. Goodbye.
