Our Lady of Light

My dear son,

On this very important feast day in the Church of My Son Jesus, the Redeemer of the world, I come to you with greetings from not only your Heavenly Mother, but also from your brothers and sisters, who are now united with us in the Eternal Kingdom of the Father in Heaven.

You must know that your brothers and sisters are particularly saddened by the events that are taking place in your world, but your brothers and sisters in Heaven know resolutely that all will be fulfilled in the end according to the Word of the Father in Heaven.

But your brothers and sisters know the challenges that you are going through in your world, particularly in the United States of America, where the evil one, the demon from hell, is currently waging his battle for the future of your country, and his minions are working overtime to keep the evil one in power  and control over the rest of you.

The challenge for you living here on Earth, not only in America, but throughout the world is to identify and defeat the minions of satan, who are stealthily going about their plans to create a draconian new world order to dominate and control the rest of you.

Alas! Now the minions of satan are becoming exposed to the rest of you, as it has been ordained through the intervention of the Father in Heaven through His Son, the Redeemer of the world. In your governments, your institutions, your foundations, your places of higher learning, as well as through your commercial businesses and entities, and in your media and entertainment, you are seeing the work of the evil one stripped bare and the minions of the evil one fully exposed now.

This dressing down of the minions of satan has been made necessary for the Father’s plans for mankind to be realized. However, the Father in Heaven and His Son, the Redeemer of the world, are relying on you, the sons and daughters of all that is good, to stand up to the challenge presented by those who are supporting all that is evil.

Never before has it been so clear to you, who among your public figures have sworn their allegiance to the evil one, so it is imperative upon humanity in these times to remove these evilly motivated and controlled individuals from places of power and authority, for such is the will of your Father in Heaven.

You have been given a unique opportunity in the history of mankind to reduce, nay to eliminate, all the evil in the world that comes from satan, but that is implemented and fueled by his minions.

Do not avoid the truth at this point!

Now is the time to remove the despots from their positions of power and authority and to replace them with those who can align themselves with the Heavenly Father and His Son to usher in a New Heaven and a New Earth, as opposed to the new world order of the evil one.

So be it!

Thanks be to God!

Our Lady of Medjugorje
Message Given through Mirjana on the Day for Non-Believers
November 2, 2016
http://www.medjugorje.com

“Dear children, to come to you and to make myself known to you is a great joy for my motherly heart. It is a gift from my Son for you and for others who are coming. As a mother I am calling you: love my Son above everything. In order to love Him with all your heart, you need to come to know Him. You will come to know Him through prayer. Pray with the heart and with your feelings. To pray means to think of His love and sacrifice. To pray means to love, to give, to suffer and to offer. I am calling you, my children, to be apostles of prayer and love. My children, it is a time of vigilance. In this vigil I am calling you to prayer, love and trust. As my Son will be looking in your hearts, my motherly heart desires for Him to see unconditional trust and love in them. The united love of my apostles will live, will conquer and will expose evil. My children, I was a chalice of the God-man; I was God’s instrument. That is why I am calling you, my apostles, to be a chalice of the true and pure love of my Son. I am calling you to be an instrument through which all those who have not come to know the love of God—who have never loved—may comprehend, accept and be saved. Thank you, my children.”

While Our Lady was leaving, Mirjana saw a chalice.

IVAN: As every time after the meeting with Our Lady, I would like to also bring closer to you and describe tonight’s meeting. Also today Our Lady came to us joyful and happy and She greeted all of us at the beginning with Her motherly greeting: ‘Praised be Jesus, my dear children.’ Then, She prayed here especially over those of you who are sick and then with Her arms extended, She prayed over all of us. Then Our Lady said:

“Dear children, also today in a special way, I desire to call you to open your hearts. Open your hearts to my messages, which I am giving to you so that I can give you new (other) messages. Live my messages. Especially, dear children, through this time, I am calling you: pray for peace. May there be peace, dear children. The Mother prays for all of you and intercedes for all of you before Her Son. Thank you, dear children, for also today having responded to my call.”

Then Our Lady blessed all of us with her motherly blessing and blessed everything you brought for blessing. I recommended also all of you – your needs, your intentions, your families and in a special way the sick. Then Our Lady continued to pray and left in that prayer in an illuminated sign of the Cross with a greeting: ‘Go in peace, my dear children.’”

“Dear children! Today I am calling you: pray for peace. Leave selfishness and live the messages which I am giving you. Without them, you cannot change your life. By living prayer, you will have peace. By living in peace, you will feel the need to witness, because you will discover God whom you now feel to be far away. Therefore, little children, pray, pray, pray and permit God to enter into your hearts. Return to fasting and confession so as to overcome the evil in you and around you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

“Understanding Worldwide Evil”

Mary

The Trojan Horse

Good and evil are not separated. They are intertwined in every event and in every moment. Evil inserts itself into all that is good and good is present even when evil seems to be triumphant. This is the mystery I will explain. Except in those actions which are totally divine, all of human history is a mixture of good and evil.

Not understanding that human events are a mixing of good and evil, man often proclaims as good what is only partially good. He, then, opens his heart to it, not knowing that evil enters with the good. If the evil is not impeded, it takes over the good and destroys it. There remains only the selfishness of man, not the goodness of God which initially inspired the action.

Look at human history. So many events and movements have begun with the good but have ended with evil. See the French Revolution that began with high ideals but soon became the tool of evil, causing social disruption, overturning the divine and making reason the new god of mankind. So much evil goes back to that revolution because man was not aware that evil attached itself to good, like the Trojan horse, to enter unnoticed into the city.

Comment: Mary points out what man often overlooks, the evil mixed with the good that enters history unnoticed until the effects are seen.

Explaining Why Man is Confused

Now, let me explain good and evil. Each has its own fruits and its own source. Good comes from God alone and is given freely to all creation. God saw that everything was good as it came from his hands. Man and woman were created in God’s own image. They were rooted in divine goodness, more than any other material creation. Man was meant to be the bearer of divine life and the purpose of material creation. Yet, man became the door to evil, the only door that Satan could have used, the only creature with free will. What was good (the free will of man) was used for evil and became the door to chaos.

The world is now filled with a goodness that comes from God and an evil that enters by man’s free will. Man does not understand this. It is like light and darkness. As if man forgot that all light comes from the sun. So, he walks away from the sun and is plunged in darkness and he does not know why. Man forgets God. He turns away from God and wonders why the world is plunged into evil. Then, he blames God for the evil that does not come from God.

Progress That is Not Progress

O Man, you must turn back to the source of all goodness. Purify your works of evil. Otherwise, you are blind. Your solutions will be no solutions until you understand that everything which man brings forth is a mixture of good and evil. Without God, the good will always carry evil with it. Without God, the good that was originally intended will soon surrender to the evil that accompanied it. It is a purified mankind that I seek, when creation will once again be creation, “as it was in the beginning”.

Without God, progress is not progress. To each new invention, evil is attached. I do not say, “Halt all progress”. I say, “Let your progress be done in God and it will be true progress. Progress without God carries only greater potential for destruction.”

O Man without God, look at the world you have brought about. Is it progress that your bombs are atomic bombs? Is it progress that your technology destroys the very earth that you live on? Look at all your technology. Look at the powerful Internet that causes so many problems.

Look at everything. Everything you produce for good is taken over by evil. This is the mystery that I put before you. You are building a world without God. You are building a destructive creation. God must purify creation before creation destroys itself.

Comment: Mary answers a confusing question, “Why is the world less safe when we have had so much progress?”

Approaching a Disastrous Moment

The world is approaching that moment when the power of Satan will have two aspects. First, he will have linked his evil into what is truly a worldwide system. Second, this system will contain the power to destroy most of the world.

I say this. The heavenly Father will not allow this but he has only two alternatives. Either he purifies creation by divine chastisements that totally disrupt what Satan is putting in place so that all of creation is not destroyed. Or, the world comes into my Immaculate Heart and I reveal a much easier salvation, by which hearts are touched and the evil attached to progress and inventions is purified. In this way, the power is used for good and not evil.

The choice is a solemn one, filled with a thousand ramification which touch the hearts of people and the fibers of society. I say this again and again – the secrets of God lie in my Immaculate Heart. That is where the Father has placed them.

Comment: What Mary says is almost self-evident. Man is approaching a moment when he not only can destroy himself but the forces of evil are present that are willingly and even hope to destroy large segments of humanity. What she reveals is even more important. The only way to avoid world-wide disaster is to listen to her wisdom.

“Dear children, also today I desire to call you to perseverance in prayer. Pray dear children for peace—for peace. May peace come to reign in people’s hearts, because from a peaceful heart, a peaceful world is born. Thank you, dear children, for also today having responded to my call.”

“Afterwards, Our Lady blessed all of us with her motherly blessing and blessed everything you brought for blessing.

“Artificial birth control – You cannot accept this or support it politically and expect God to look the other way”

/ a soul

Holy Love Ministry
http://www.holylove.org

October 2, 2016

Mary, Refuge of Holy Love says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“Dear children, with the introduction of artificial birth control, man has slowly, methodically moved towards placing himself and his free will in the place of God and His Divine Will. These days the decisions of the court system take precedence over God’s Commandments. You cannot accept this or support it politically and expect God to look the other way. Take this My Motherly warning to heart. When you experience God’s Justice, which is on its way, do not be surprised or caught off guard.”

“Live as Christians under God which is what your nation was founded on. Do not support the status quo, but support the return to Christian values. My Son has been too gravely offended not to seek justice. His Heart is Mournful and sorrows for the errant path so many choose. Allow God His Dominion over you once again as it should be.”

October 2, 2016

St. Joseph is here and says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“My brothers and sisters, I have come to ask all parents to be united in the Truth. Make certain that your children live in the reality of the Truth in all their opinions. This is the way to foster Holy Love in hearts and in the world.”

“Tonight, I’m extending to you my Fatherly Blessing.”

Comments (by a soul):

  • The Holy Spirit cannot dwell in a person that has mortal sin on their soul.
  • The punishment for mortal sin on a soul upon death is eternal damnation.
  • The ordinary means of removing mortal sin on a soul are the Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation (Confession), and the Anointing of the Sick/Last Rites.
  • There are extraordinary means for God to forgive mortal sin upon death, which include martyrdom (“baptism by blood”), “baptism by desire,” and an act of free will by a soul for forgiveness of mortal sin with necessary contrition known only to God.
  • It is a mortal sin if you miss a Sunday Mass or holy day of obligation without a valid excuse in the eyes of the Catholic Church (for example, illness, care-giving, etc.).
  • Mortal sin can take place simply by thought (belief).
  • For example, according to the statistics above, 85% of Catholics believe that cohabitation/fornication is acceptable. Cohabitation and fornication are mortal sins. Therefore, potentially 85% of Catholics are in a state of mortal sin on their souls unless they repent of this belief through Confession.
  • If you receive Holy Communion while in a state of having mortal sin on your soul, it is a sacrilege, which is another occurrence of mortal sin.
  • The recommended minimum by the Catholic Church is the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) once a year.
  • Our Lady of Medjugorje recommends monthly Confession to cure the ills of the Christian Church in the West.
  • Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in the Book of Truth (Maria Divine Mercy), recommends Confession every two weeks or more to stay in a state of grace (no mortal sin on soul).
  • In my own spiritual life, I have noticed that I need to go to Confession at least monthly (I usually go 1-3 times a month), otherwise, I easily slip into mortal sin. I can only attend Mass weekly and so, what usually happens to me, is I start missing Sunday Mass, so it puts me in a state of mortal sin on my soul. Everyone’s temptations are unique, though, so I offer this as my own personal observation.
  • If you do not reveal all your mortal sins when confessing to a priest, you have potentially made a bad Confession in the Eyes of God, which is another occurrence of mortal sin.
  • If you are reading this and are concerned now that you may have mortal sin on your soul or made a bad Confession, this can easily be fixed by making a good Confession and also asking the priest to forgive you for “any times a bad Confession was made and any times a bad Holy Communion was taken,” etc.
  • In my own spiritual life, I always end my Confession with these words, “please, father, forgive me for any forgotten sins and sins of omission.”  I recommend this as a good spiritual practice and it also helps with doubts that satan usually tempts people with who think they may have made a bad Confession afterwards.

“Dear children, the Holy Spirit, according to the Heavenly Father, made me the mother — the mother of Jesus — and by this alone, also your mother. That is why I am coming to hear you, that I may open my motherly arms to you; to give you my heart and to call you to remain with me, because from the top of the Cross my Son entrusted you to me. Unfortunately, many of my children have not come to know the love of my Son; many of them do not want to come to know Him. Oh, my children, how much bad is done by those who must see or interpret in order to come to believe. That is why, you, my children, my apostles, in the silence of your heart, listen to the voice of my Son, so that your heart may be His home, that it may not be dark and sad, but that it may be illuminated with the light of my Son. Seek hope with faith, because faith is the life of the soul. Anew I am calling you: pray, pray to live faith in humility, in spiritual peace, and illuminated by the light. My children, do not strive to comprehend everything immediately, because I also did not comprehend everything immediately; but I loved, and I believed in the divine words which my Son spoke — He who was the first light and the beginning of redemption. Apostles of my love — you who pray, sacrifice yourselves, love and do not judge — you go and spread the truth, the words of my Son, the Gospel, because you are the living Gospel; you are the rays of the light of my Son. My Son and I will be with you to encourage you and to test you. My children, always implore the blessing of those, and only of those whose hands have been blessed by my Son, of your shepherds. Thank you.”

“Dear children, continue in earnest to pray for the victory of good over evil in this upcoming election. Many things can happen between now and the Election Day. Many events can unfold revealing much, and in some hearts the seed of cyber piracy has taken root. There has been much dishonesty on the part of some, but plans are afoot for a last-ditch effort to alter the Truth of the returns. I encourage steps to be taken to check and recheck voter results.”

“Do not think that certain things are not possible. What you regard as certainty can easily be changed through modern technology put to ill-use. I tell you these things with My Motherly warning. Expect the unexpected.”

COMMENT (by a soul):
I wanted to let my beloved followers know that several Public Rosary Rallies are being planned for Saturday, October 15, 2016, for the upcoming U.S. Presidential Election.

Firstly, the Catholic organization, “America Needs Fatima,” has over 15,000 groups signed up to do a Public Rosary on October 15th. On their website, they are planning to put up a searchable map, so people can find the Rosary Rally nearest to them.

See this webpage:

https://americaneedsfatima.org/Rally-News/rosary-rally-central-2.html

The second Public Rosary Rally on October 15th is being organized by the Caritas Community (Our Lady of Medjugorje) in Philadelphia, PA. They will be praying the Patriotic Rosary.

Also, I want to remind beloved followers of the special prayer services arranged for Friday, October 7, 2016 (Feast of the Most Holy Rosary).

Firstly, on October 6-7th, there are special prayer services being planned at Holy Love Ministries (Maranatha Spring and Shrine, near Cleveland, Ohio) for a public apparition and special blessing of the Blessed Mother. If you can attend, I urge you to go, as the Blessed Mother has indicated that She needs the sacrificial Rosaries for the upcoming presidential election.

ADDED (9/21/16):
If you are a Christian, but not Catholic, please know that you are still welcome to attend a Rosary Rally to pray for the upcoming presidential election.

Holy Love Ministries is an ecumenical organization not associated with any particular church denomination.  They will be praying the Rosary on October 6-7th at their prayer services in Ohio and all are welcome to attend.

At the October 7th National Rosary Rally in Washington D.C., all are welcome to attend.

On October 15th, the prayer event being organized by Caritas at Philadelphia, PA, is also ecumenical.  It is the Patriotic Rosary and materials will be provided for those who attend on how to pray this particular Rosary.

And on October 15th, the Rosary Rallies being planned by America Needs Fatima, will be smaller groups of people, but anyone who loves Jesus can attend and pray the Rosary.

Even if you do not know the Rosary, I have prepared a quick 2-page guide with the prayers that are said.  Just print it out and attend–no experience needed.  During a public rosary, you just have to recite the words that are underlined and in red.  Also, you do not have to have rosary beads–I actually prefer to count with my fingers.

The Rosary is a scripture-based prayer that consists of meditations on the Life of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, while asking for the intercessory prayer of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  You can find out more information about the Rosary on this blog page: https://maryrefugeofholylove.com/the-seal-of-the-living-god/the-most-holy-rosary-of-the-blessed-virgin-mary/

How To Become a “little one” of the Blessed Mother Mary and the First Three Infant Steps

/ a soul

Locutions To The World

February 18, 2015
A Path Revealed to the Little Ones

Mary

The path of light is a road filled with blessings which are hidden from the proud but revealed quickly to the little ones who want to walk my ways.

First, they see that I am with them in every danger, always protecting them from the harm which is caused by others or by their own foolish decisions.

Second, they experience my constant encouragement. They know that when the great problems come upon them, that I will be there to help carry them. Third, they often experience my presence, as warmth or a peace comes over them. This quiets their fears and allows them to choose the right road.

Thirdly, they know that I will be with them until the end. I will never abandon them until that moment when I embrace them forever and ever. This is the path of light which is open to all the little ones. How do you become “a little one”? This is the great secret. A person must decide to be a “little one” (and everyone in the world can make that decision).

First, they must see that their own strength and their own intellect are unable to overcome all their difficulties.

Second, they must be filled with hope, that I hear their every cry.

Third, they must walk in my ways, according to my truths. This is the great illumination that takes place in the heart, when the person allows me to place my new light within them.

Now, they are my little one, able to walk my path of light.

The First Three Steps

Mary

I must teach this way of light quickly because the darkness can already be seen. This path has only little steps, but it has great gifts. These I pour out on all who walk. This is the first truth. You do the little things and I do the great things. At every step, huge blessings await. This is why I must teach.

People think that they must do great things, especially as the darkness comes. Really, they must do only little things, but these acts are so important. They dispose and prepare the person for my acts.

The first little act is always faith, and faith comes from hearing. I speak. You listen. What happens to the word? You either accept it or reject it. If you accept it, then it enters your heart and you set out on the path of light. If you reject it, my word sits by the wayside, and you choose other roads, roads of darkness.

The second step is hope. “I am on a journey. Mary is with me. I will not go astray. She will protect me. If I fall, she will pick me up. If I fear, she will calm me. Even if I sin, she will lead me to forgiveness. It is different now. I am not alone. The Virgin is with me and she is my mother”. Such are the thoughts of hope, always casting out the darkness of doubts.

The third step is a choice, a choice of love, when your will embraces me. How many times and with such great tenderness, I have embraced you. But that is not enough. You must embrace me. Do this now. This great act of love seals everything. Once you embrace me, I will never let you go. I will always show up. I will intervene. When you embrace me, you give me permission to act as your mother.

You can see that this path is very easy but you would never have found it unless I revealed it to you.

The path of light is my gift to those who accept me. Many set me aside, as if I were not important in the Father’s plan. Others see no need to call upon my help. If you are one of these, it is specifically for you that I speak today. Without me, you can certainly walk a road to the Father through Jesus, but that road is hard to find and difficult to walk.

The heavenly Father foresaw this present time of darkness brought about by the cleverness of Satan’s plan. For this moment of history, God reserved a new and special light, a candle burning brightly which each person can hold. Is that not what you yourselves do? When the lights go out, you use candles, because there is no central light. So each person carries their own lit candle and all feel safe.

Picture me as the Heavenly Father’s candle and Jesus as the flame. Can you have the flame without the candle? I am not the flame. Jesus is the flame, but I am the candle, easily available to all who accept me. The candle comes first, then the flame. Who would try to take the flame into their own hands? That is foolishness. Only harm would result.

How long will the candle burn? How bright will be its flame? I am the Father’s candle and I will burn as long and as brightly as each one needs. I am Immaculate. The light will be pure, piercing and totally able to lead you. When the night grows darker, I will burn more brightly. When the wind comes, I, myself, will protect the flame. Even if the flame goes out, I will ask the heavenly Father and He will light your candle again.

The time is now because you must get your candle before the darkness comes.

Our Lady of Prompt Succor

Definition of Succor:
(noun) – assistance and support in times of hardship and distress;
(verb) – give assistance or aid to

My dear son,

I come to you today as your Lady of Prompt Succor.  As you now know, I intentionally interrupted your sleep during the night and addressed to you my desire to be celebrated in these times as Our Lady of Prompt Succor. I knew you were troubled about a pressing matter, and by daylight the miracle you requested was given. However, you must not assume that I will always respond to your requests, and for the reason that what you may want, may not be what God wants!

I know that you will now reveal to your brothers and sisters here in America, as well as around the world, that they must come to me with their troubles and in search of relief, or even miracles perhaps, because in these end times, it will take many miracles to turn the tide of darkness and evil from the prince of darkness into a groundswell of goodness and light through Me, as Your Lady of Succor, for I respond to you in fulfillment of the Father in Heaven’s plans for all of you.

Keep in mind, my children, that the Father in Heaven has great love for each and every one of you, and he has tasked me with the great responsibility of saving many souls. In these times of darkness, there are so many of you, who are headed into darkness in the eternal abyss that the Father in Heaven is directly intervening now through His Son, Your Lord and Saviour, and my Son, The Redeemer of the world, Jesus Christ, as well as through your Heavenly Mother.

In prayer, I want you to call out to me for relief from your earthly problems, and even for the impossible, as it may seem, which would require miracles for your request to be heard. I have a deep and longing love for you, the people of America, and historically, you can recognize in many historic events that it was through my intercession that many miracles have taken place in America through prayers directly to me with specific requests made by your brothers and sisters many, many years ago.

Today in America, your country is in a lot of trouble and turmoil. This is understandable and recognized by many of you that the troubles that America is experiencing are because of all the sin in America, as well as in the whole world.  Now is the time for you to turn your focus and attention to me as Your Lady of Prompt Succor to address not only your troubles, but the troubles of America, as well as the whole world.

I have addressed and resolved many of the world’s problems in the past, because many of your ancestors, as well as your living brothers and sisters recognized the power and effectiveness of praying for my intercession in many areas, including famine, disease, pestilence, wars, terrorism, materialism and greed, and the sins of the flesh, including the sinfulness and soullessness that leads to the darkness of addiction of all kinds, particularly of alcohol and drugs that have become the scourge of the modern world, and that are frankly contributing to bringing your nation to its knees.

Now is the time to turn to me with your prayer requests, as Your Lady of Prompt Succor. I promise that I will listen to and answer your prayers with the help of God, as it is his plan that will prevail in the end.

So be it!

Thanks be to God!

Our Lady of Prompt Succor

PRAYER:
Traditional Nine Day Novena

“Our Lady of Prompt Succor, thou are after Jesus our only hope. O Most Holy Virgin, whose merits have raised thee high above angel choirs to the very throne of the Eternal and whose foot crushed the head of the infernal serpent, thou art strong against the enemies of our salvation. O Mother of God, thou art our Mediatrix most kind and loving. Hasten, then, to our help, and as thou didst once save thy beloved City from ravaging flames and our Country from an alien foe, do now have pity on our misery, and obtain for us the graces we beg of thee. Deliver us from the wiles of Satan, assist us in the many trials which beset our path in this valley of tears, and be to us truly Our Lady of Prompt Succor now and especially at the hour of our death. Amen.”

“Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us.” (Three times.)

The Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be to the Father may be added, with the Litany of Our Lady of Prompt Succor [above] and the prayer “O Mary, Mother of God”.

“O Mary, Mother of God, who amid the tribulations of the world, watches over us and over the Church of thy Son, be to us and to the Church, truly, Our Lady of Prompt Succor; make haste to help us in all our necessities, that in this fleeting life thou may be our succor, and obtain for us [mention your request here] Help us to gain life everlasting through the merits of Jesus, thy Son, Our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.”

“Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.”

August 12, 2002

Mary of Agreda comes and sits next to me. She says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“My sister, I have come to share with you certain things about the Blessed Virgin Mary–specifically, Her life of virtue, and how She most perfectly lived certain virtues.”

“First, I invite you to understand that on the surface, She was much like you and I–unassuming, always happy to be in the background, ready to take on the lowliest task. The difference is She did everything to perfection. She perfectly fulfilled God’s Divine Will because She wasn’t a fallen creature.”

“You (and me when I was alive) have trouble sometimes knowing God’s Will. But Mary always made the perfect choices. She was childlike in simplicity, humble in Her bearing, trusting in Her nature. Though She was often overlooked for certain ‘important’ tasks, She was satisfied and accepting of this. The love She had for creatures was always based on Her profound love of God. She saw everything and everyone as God’s creation.”

“I will be coming to you now to describe Our Mother’s life in certain virtues; I will come quietly and lovingly.”

August 15, 2002

Mary of Agreda comes. She says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

I throw holy water on her. She smiles and vision brightens.

“I have come to speak to you about Mary’s Glorious Assumption. Our Lady chose to undergo death although Her Son did not ask it of Her. As Her immaculate soul took leave of Her body, a bright light shone around the little house where She had been living. Many angels escorted Her soul into Heaven. Many more angels returned some time later with the sacred mission of escorting Her body to Heaven.”

“As they moved through the heavens with Her pure and virginal body which lay resting in their arms, the firmaments parted. The Gates of Heaven opened. The spirit of St. Joseph called the angels through the Gates, and there in the presence of the Holy Trinity and all the Heavenly Court, Mary’s body and soul were reunited.”

“All of the angels fell prostrate in front of the Holy Trinity, and Mary, our Heavenly Mother, was seated on a throne in their midst. Her song of praise rose above all the rest–and to this day, still does.”

August 16, 2002

Mary of Agreda comes. She says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“I have come to begin my discourse with you concerning the virtuous life of Mary, Queen of Heaven and earth.”

“Because Our Lady was immaculately conceived, She was not of a fallen nature. Every virtue was perfect in Her and each one based on Holy Love which was Her very Heart.”

“Through the deepest virtue of humility ever known to one of God’s creatures, Mary always accepted God’s Divine Will. This is made apparent in Her words to the Archangel Gabriel at the Annunciation: ‘Be it done unto Me according to Thy Word’. Though She sorrowed many times, it was a sorrow that did not proceed from self-love. She sorrowed at the sight of sin in the world and at the sight of Her Son’s suffering. She always preferred to be a loving support in the background.”

“If the women in Her company began to gossip, Our Lady always found good to say about the person in question. She, in perfect humility, never argued to defend Her opinion, and never gave the least thought to others’ opinions of Her. This is because She was humble in thought, word and deed.”

“The world today should be consoled at the thought of such a loving, humble Mother up in Heaven.”

August 16, 2002

Mary of Agreda comes. She says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“Dear little sister, it would be a mistake to compare what I revealed to you last night with what I had written when I was in the world. To do so would be to say one is right, the other wrong. Prophecy is never perfect. And so…accept what I have come to offer. For who is to say, perhaps you are a better recorder of facts than I was. Be humble enough to just pass on to the world what I reveal to you.”

August 22, 2002

“I am Mary of Agreda.”

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“I have come to describe to you the Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth.”

“Our Lady was invited upon Her arrival in Heaven–Body and Soul–to be seated upon a magnificent Throne. She accepted only as She knew it pleased Her Beloved Son. Immediately, myriads of angels fell prostrate at Her Feet. The Most Blessed Holy Trinity placed themselves behind Her, though They were elevated a little higher than Mary. Mary was given this honor because the Love in Her Heart was always Holy and Perfect–She being immaculately conceived.”

“She obeyed the Father as an obedient daughter. She cared for Her Son as only a loving Mother could. She was the humble, willing spouse of the Most Holy Spirit. Now and always, a bright Heavenly Light forms a Crown over Mary’s Head. The Crown is the reward given to Mary as Mediatrix, Co-Redemptrix and Advocate.”

August 26, 2002

“I am Mary of Agreda.”

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“I have come that you might know the perfect composite of virtue that abides in the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”

“Her Heart is perfect Holy Love. Since Her Love is perfect, every virtue is perfect. Since Our Lady’s Heart is perfect in all virtue, She exemplifies the perfect balance between Holy Love and Holy Humility.”

“The Holy Mother knew well Her humble place before Her Creator. She never presumed to be more than She was before the Eyes of God. In this, Mary’s Heart was the simple reflection of truth.”

“The Holy Mother gave Glory to God in everything–even the Cross itself.”

September 30, 2002

Mary of Agreda comes. She says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“My sister, take this down.”

“I am here to speak to you about the virtue of patience in the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Our Lady, who was perfect in every virtue, never allowed time to become Her enemy. In this way She never thought about the past in a negative context–nor did She worry over the future. This allowed Her to patiently live out the present moment in patience and humility. She did not consider how many times She performed a simple task in the past or how long She would need to wait for something in the future. She did not fault others for their sins–thus showing impatience with them. Instead, She prayed for them.”

“When She saw Her Son suffer She did not have a bitter Heart, but was patient with God’s Will for Her and Jesus in the present moment. She endured patiently every separation from Jesus–even His Ascent into Heaven.”

“Humility and love were the basis of Her patience, and they shone through Her like sun shines through crystal.”

“Imitate Her.”

August 26, 2016

Ivan says:

As every day, after the meeting together with Our Lady, I would like to also bring closer to you and describe what is the most important from tonight’s meeting. Also today Our Lady came to us joyful and happy, and at the beginning She greeted all of us with Her motherly greeting, ‘Praised be Jesus my dear children.’ Then She extended Her arms and She prayed especially over all of us present here, and especially She prayed over you, the sick who are present here. Then Our Lady said:

“Dear children, also today, in a special way, I desire to call you to live my messages. Dear children, do not speak about my messages, but live my messages. Also you be my living sign, a sign of my presence here and irradiate others with your presence. Pray, dear children, through this time, more. Pray together with me and for my intentions. Follow me, dear children. Live my messages. Do not be afraid. I am with you and I intercede for all of you before my Son. Thank you, dear children, also today, for having responded to my call.”

Then Our Lady blessed all of us with Her motherly blessing, and She also blessed everything you brought to be blessed. I recommended also all of you, all of your needs, your intentions, and your families, and in a special way, sick. Then Our Lady continued to pray for awhile over all of us here and She left in that prayer, in an illuminated Sign of the Cross, with a greeting, “Go in peace my dear children.”

Mary – Our Lady of Garabandal – the Story, the Messages, the Prophecies (The Warning, Great Miracle and Chastisement), with Videos (Supernatural Evidence)

/ a soul

Our Lady of Garabandal 2

Our Lady of Garabandal – Historical Background – 1960s

  • Pope John XXIII is elected and three months later announces on January 25, 1959 to convene a general ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church. It will address relations between the Catholic Church and the modern world.
  • Pope John XXIII chooses not to reveal the Third Secret of Fatima (Portugal) during the Year 1960 as requested by Our Lady in 1917.
  • On June 18, 1961, St. Michael the Archangel begins appearing to four girls in a remote, poor village of Garabandal in the mountains of Spain. He announces the coming of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
  • On July 2, 1961, the Blessed Virgin Mary starts appearing, almost daily, to the four girls.
  • On October 18, 1961, a first public Message is given by the Blessed Virgin Mary. It emphasizes the importance of the Blessed Sacrament (Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist) and living holy lives. If the world does not change, a very great Chastisement will come. “The cup is already filling up.”
  • Through these apparitions, the Blessed Virgin Mary prophesies The Great Warning for the world and a Great Miracle at Garabandal which will take place within a year of The Warning.  A permanent, indestructible, supernatural Sign will be placed at the Pines in Garabandal.
  • In 1962, one year after the apparitions began, at the time of the feast of Corpus Christi (June 21), the girls have visions of the future Warning and Chastisement. They begin screaming fearfully during the Nights of the Screams.
  • Announced 15 days in advance, on July 19, 1962, the Miracle of the Visible Host (Mystical Holy Communion) takes place to one of the girls (Conchita).
  • Pope John XXIII opens the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II) on October 11, 1962.
  • By the end of January 1963, the visions end for three of the girls and Conchita continues to have fewer, less frequent visions.
  • Pope John XXIII dies on June 3, 1963 and Vatican II is suspended.
  • Pope Paul VI is elected on June 21, 1963 and announces Vatican II will continue.
  • On January 1, 1965, the Blessed Virgin Mary tells Conchita that since the world did not acknowledge the first Message, a second Message (final one) would be delivered by St. Michael on June 18, 1965.
  • The second Message says, in part, “Before, the cup was filling up. Now it is flowing over.” It states that “Many cardinals, many bishops and many priests are on the road to perdition (hell) and are taking many souls with them.” The Message stresses the importance of the Holy Eucharist and seeking forgiveness for sins. The Message asks for more prayer, sacrifices and reflection upon the Passion of Jesus.
  • On November 13, 1965, Conchita has her last apparition with the Blessed Virgin Mary.
  • On November 14, 1965, Conchita is interviewed for a German book (“Garabandal – Der Zeigefinger Gottes”) and she reveals what the Blessed Mother said about abortion, which as a girl, she did not understand.
    (Page 203): “She [Conchita] spoke quite openly about the developments by which men in the near future would rebel against God. On the day after Our Lady’s last appearance at Garabandal, Conchita asked the author, “Can you imagine how somebody could kill children in the womb without thereby killing the mother?” The author spontaneously answered, “No! What gave you that idea, Conchita?”
    “Well, the Blessed Mother spoke about this and she let me know that this will happen with the overflowing of the chalice.” [In her second Message of June 18,1965, the Virgin said, “Before, the cup was filling up. Now it is flowing over.”]”
  • Pope Paul VI concludes Vatican II on December 8, 1965.

The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared as Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Two Messages were given for the world by Our Lady at Garabandal, Spain where she appeared over a period of four years (1961-1965).

October 18, 1961

“We must make many sacrifices, perform much penance, and visit the Blessed Sacrament frequently. But first, we must lead good lives. If we do not, a chastisement will befall us. The cup is already filling up, and if we do not change, a very great chastisement will come upon us.”

June 18, 1965

“As my message of October 18 has not been complied with and has not been made known to the world, I am advising you that this is the last one. Before, the cup was filling up.  Now it is flowing over. Many cardinals, many bishops and many priests are on the road to perdition and are taking many souls with them. Less and less importance is being given the Eucharist. You should turn the wrath of God away from yourselves by your efforts. If you ask His forgiveness with sincere hearts, He will pardon you. I, your mother, through the intercession of Saint Michael the Archangel, ask you to amend your lives. You are now receiving the last warnings. I love you very much and do not want your condemnation. Pray to us with sincerity and we will grant your requests. You should make more sacrifices. Think about the passion of Jesus.”

Feast of Our Lady of Knock – Holy Love Messages

Holy Love Ministry

August 21, 2016
Feast of Our Lady of Knock

Mary, Refuge of Holy Love says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“I am happy to be here* today on the day which commemorates My Apparition at Knock. That apparition lasted a short time on one day. This apparition is ongoing, as a means of supporting and protecting the Remnant Faithful during this crisis of faith which perpetuates. If you do not have a strong faith, My children, you are vulnerable to any attack and the veil of deceit Satan has placed over the heart of the world. You do not see the subtle ways the enemy uses modern-day technology, political issues and even well-intended efforts to weave his confusion into hearts.”

“Even those once consecrated to My Immaculate Heart have now failed Me. I find My solace in the Remnant whose faith is not shaken by the state of the heart of the world. I am calling you to understand these times in which you live. Build up your prayer lives as armor against Satan’s subtleties. Every weakness is a portal for his entry.”

“The hour is now at hand when many will have to choose liberal versus conservative. This is why it is so important that you identify evil as opposed to good. Evil does not respect religious borders or vocations. Evil does not stop or back away from any prestigious title. In fact, these are all incentives for the enemy to redouble his efforts. Therefore, pray for all Church hierarchy, priests and all vocations.”

“I am praying with you.”

* The apparition site of Maranatha Spring and Shrine.

Read 2 Corinthians 4:1-5+

Synopsis – In discharging the Mission and Ministry of Holy Love do not lose heart. On the contrary, renounce actions which shame conceals in the dark, avoid unscrupulous conduct and do not corrupt the Word of God; but make known the Truth of Jesus Christ, which is Holy Love, commending yourself to your examination of conscience according to the Ten Commandments in the sight of God. If the Truth is concealed, it is only to those who are perishing; for in their case they have been blinded to Truth by their unbelieving hearts and minds – not seeing the Light of the Gospel of Christ Who is the Truth and the Image of God.

Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart. We have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways; we refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s Word, but by the open statement of the Truth we would commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the Light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the likeness of God. For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.

Feast of Our Lady of Knock

Our Lady, Mary, Refuge of Holy Love, comes in white. She is holding the Rosary of the States (50 Hail Mary beads in the shape of the 50 states of the United States). She smiles and says:

“Praise be to Jesus.”

“On October 7th, I will return to My much beloved Field* to celebrate the Feast of the Holy Rosary. Present to Me the gift of your hearts wrapped in the many rosaries you have been praying for this country. These are desperate times. Many do not realize the grave urgency of prayer for this nation. The outcome of the upcoming presidential election will have worldwide influence. Souls are at stake. Lives are at stake.”

“Dear children, you are engaged in war – spiritual and physical war. Your weapon is this.” She holds up the rosary of the states. Then it changes into the rosary of the unborn. “Pray for an end to abortion which is Satan’s weapon of mass destruction.”

Why it is Okay for All People to Ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to Intercede for Them

A short commentary
By a soul

(8/17/16 – Eve of the Feast of the Coronation of Our Lady)

I am writing this short commentary for the many people who visit this blog, MaryRefugeOfHolyLove.  While many of them are Catholic, I know there are many Christians of other denominations as well, and also, perhaps, people of other faiths or no faith at all.

I am writing this commentary for all of them.

I want to introduce you to Our Lady, Queen of Heaven and Earth, the Blessed Virgin Mary.  She is the Mother of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and Your Mother, too, although, you might not be certain of that fact yet.  I want to tell you that it is okay to ask the Blessed Mother to intercede for you and for others in prayer.  You do not have to be Catholic or an Orthodox Christian to turn to Our Lady and to ask Her for certain favors.  She loves you just as She loves Her own Child, Jesus.  Our Lady was entrusted by Jesus to all of us at the foot of The Cross before Jesus died.  She was given to us to be the Mother of All and She desires that you know that in your heart.

Mary loves you very much and She wants you to know that honestly and truly.  If you simply say, “Mary, help me to know Jesus better and love God more,” She will answer that prayer in a profound way for you.  She desires that very much for you and if you have certain needs, She will listen to them and respond to them as best as She could as Your Mother.

Mary will obtain the “best grace” possible for you and your particular need.  It may not be exactly what you want, but it will be the best grace that God desires to give to you.

Mary will provide for you, as any loving mother would.

There are many theological arguments on the internet about why or why not praying to Mary is a good thing.  Many of them are arguments based in Holy Scripture, which may or may not be correct interpretations, but they are written by people with good intentions, who simply want to honor God as best they can.

If you would like to read a theological argument, then by all means, search for an appropriate article to read.  But, what I am writing is not a theological argument…  Rather, it is a writing based on the heart and what the heart feels is right—Love.

This is a commentary of Truth in Love.  Not made of fancy words and articulated viewpoints.  Rather, it is a writing that appeals to your heart and what you know, instinctively, as a child of God.

Mary is Your Mother.  She loves you.

From the very beginning of Christianity, the Blessed Mother has been honored by the faithful.  You may not know this fact, but the early Christians loved and honored the Blessed Mother very much.  During the first 300 years of Christianity, the early Christians hid in the Catacombs—the tunnels underneath Rome, Italy—to protect themselves from on-going persecution by the Roman empire.  In the Catacombs, the early Christians would hold Mass (prayer services) to God and would bury the deceased Christians in marked tombs.

Do you know what these early Christians would mark on the tombs?  There are tunnels of tombs marked with many prayers to Mary and the Saints in Heaven.

The early Christians believed in the powerful intercession of Mary and also, the martyrs of the faith, because they knew that they were close to God’s favor in Heaven.  And so, they marked the tombs with intercessory prayers, because they also believed in the existence of Purgatory, which some faithful may have to go to, to be fully purified from sin before finally going to Heaven.

This was the real beauty and true fullness of the meaning of the Communion of Saints—the family of God.  One Body in Christ, One shared and Mutual Love no matter the distance between earth and Heaven.

Just as a Christian today might ask another faithful to pray for them on earth, the Oneness in Christ meant that the early Christians felt immediate closeness and oneness to those already saved in Heaven.  Asking Mary or a Saint to pray for you and intercede for you is no different from asking someone on earth.  And guess what?  It has the extra bonus grace of faith attached to it, so God looks with great favor on those who trust in Him through demonstrating their deep faith in intercessory prayer in Heaven.  Faith moves mountains.

Some people might say that praying to Mary and the Saints is idol worship and prohibited by Holy Scripture.  But, these same people might not know that the Ten Commandments are interpreted differently by Protestant Christians and Catholic/Orthodox Christians.  In fact, the Ten Commandments were changed by the Protestant Christians during the Reformation, so it could be justified the ransacking of Catholic Churches and overturning of statues, dismantling of Crucifixes, and destroying of relics of the Saints.

I do not want to go into theological debates here, but simply research the differences between the Ten Commandments in the Protestant Churches and the Catholic/Orthodox Church.  You will see they are written differently and it is up to you to discern the better argument—

Meanwhile, I continue to appeal to the heart.

Many Christians are proud of being “Bible-only” believers.  I applaud them for their fidelity to seeking Truth in Holy Scripture.  Truly, I am impressed by those who know by heart many verses of Holy Scripture.

I wish that I had that good of a memory and could be that learnt in the Holy Bible.  But, alas, I am not graced with those talents.  I have accepted that fact sadly.

Yet, I ask the “Bible-only” believers, how do you teach a person who cannot read?  Is Christianity really a faith limited to those who can read?  Or, is there something more to it?

Love is shown much more than through words.  Love is shown through acts of love.

Statues, murals of art, paintings, stained glass, prayer cards, and other works such as music that glorify God are acts of love that teach others the traditions, stories and mysteries of the Christian faith.  These acts of love are what has sustained the Christian faith for the past 2000 years during which most Christians could not read.  This is a simple historical fact.

Some of these works of art—acts of love—honor the Blessed Mother and the Saints.  I simply say, as Christians, we must not be afraid to love.

A Saint, Maximilian Kolbe, once said:

“Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did.”

In the Ten Commandments that are shared between Protestant Christians and Catholic/Orthodox Christians is the Commandment of “Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother.”  We also know that Our Lord, Jesus Christ, fulfilled perfectly all the Commandments of God, no doubt loving His Mother all the more than we ever could.

If Jesus opened His Sacred Heart to His Mother and we are called to imitate Him in all ways, how can we not also open our own hearts to Her as well?  To honor Mary, is to honor Jesus.  To love Mary, is to love Jesus and the way He calls us to love.

On this blog, MaryRefugeOfHolyLove, I want to tell you of three resources that have been created especially for you.  These webpages are called:

“Invitation To Become A Child Of Mary”
https://maryrefugeofholylove.com/invitation-to-become-a-child-of-mary/

“Our Lady Speaks To Those Who Never Heard The Gospel”
https://maryrefugeofholylove.com/the-warning-god-speaks-to-you/our-lady-speaks-to-those-who-never-heard-the-gospel/

“Our Lady Speaks To Those Who Have Little Love In Their Life”
https://maryrefugeofholylove.com/the-warning-god-speaks-to-you/our-lady-speaks-to-those-who-have-little-love-in-their-life/

These three webpages were created so that you could learn more about Our Lady and the message of the Gospel (which means, “Good News”).  I hope you were take the time to read the heavenly messages and will invite the Blessed Mother to have a place in your life, because She loves you very tenderly and desires only your best.

Also, on this blog, MaryRefugeOfHolyLove, I try to feature every day the daily heavenly message of Holy Love Ministry (http://www.holylove.org).  The daily heavenly message are words of wisdom from Our Lord, Our Lady, or the many Saints that visit the site of Maranatha Spring and Shrine, which is home of Holy Love Ministries.  It is located near Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

Holy Love Ministry is an ecumenical organization not affiliated with any church authority.  Although the visionary who receives the messages is Catholic and many of the followers of the messages are Catholic, it is open to all peoples of good will who desire to know and love God better.  You do not have to be Catholic to believe in the heavenly messages and anyone can visit and participate in the prayers and prayer services.  It is open to one and all.

Also, if the spirituality of the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary appeals to you, there is also a prayer association that you can join that is open to all peoples.  It is called the “Secular Order of Missionary Servants of Holy Love (MSHL)” and more information can also be found at the main website for Holy Love Ministry.

Finally, I want to conclude with a heavenly message from Our Lady through Locutions To The World.  God bless!

“The Road the King Will Use to Come Again”

MARY

“I begin where I always begin – in my Immaculate Heart.  This is the heavenly Father’s secret, his plan for the salvation of the world.  He has placed his Son in my heart.  His Holy Spirit has come to abide in my heart.  These are the secrets that I am trying to reveal so all might know of this treasury.  Some misinterpret this doctrine.  They think I am speaking of my own powers and my own prerogatives.  Rather, I am speaking of God’s powers and where to find them.”

“Am I not the Mother of God?  Did not Jesus, true God and Lord of all, dwell in me?  Did not the Holy Spirit overshadow me?  These are the realities that I speak about when I proclaim the importance of my Immaculate Heart.  “He who is mighty has done great things in me”.  I am revealing what God has done by his own free decision.  Just as he decided to abide in the human nature of Jesus, so he has decided to make my Immaculate Heart a place of his abiding and a place where all can find him.”

“People search for Jesus.  They look, but so many times they do not find.  He is in my heart.  He abides there.  He dwells there.  For this reason, the Father wants all the world to honor my Immaculate Heart.  This is the easiest place to find his Son, Jesus.”

“He came the first time through me and he will come the second time through me.  If a king is coming by a certain road, cannot the citizens go out to meet him?  Surely, they can stay home.  Yes, the king will certainly come.  Yet, the wise citizens say, “We need not wait.  We can go out to meet the king”.  They only need to know the road that he will use to come to their city.”

“Everyone knows the road that Jesus used to come the first time.  This is without dispute.  My revelation is so simple, “The road he used the first time, he will use the second time” and those who understand it can go out to meet him.  They can find him before the others, who have no interest in meeting the king or do not know which road he will use.  Now you see the importance of these revelations of my Immaculate Heart.  The king is coming and you can be the first to greet him.”

Our Lady of Medjugorje
Ivan’s Prayer Group
August 12, 2016
http://www.medjugorje.com

(Ivan): I would like to describe to you tonight’s meeting together with Our Lady. Also tonight Our Lady came to us joyful and happy. And as always at the beginning She greeted all of us with Her Motherly greeting, “Praised be Jesus, my dear children.” After that, for awhile, She prayed over all of us here present and then She prayed over all of those of you who are sick present here. Then She said:

“Dear children, also today I am calling you to perseverance in prayer. Pray, dear children, especially for perseverance in families. Today, I am praying together with you for families. I desire, dear children, holiness in the families; that there may be more holy families; those who will live, those who will pray, those who will live the words of my Son and my messages that I am giving to you. Thank you, dear children, also today for having responded to my call.”

After that, Our Lady blessed all of us with Her Motherly Blessing and blessed everything that we brought to be blessed. I recommended all of you, your needs, your intentions, your families. In a special way, I recommended all of you who are present who are sick and the priests. Then Our Lady continued to pray over all of us here. In that prayer, She left in an illuminated Sign of the Cross with the greeting, “Go in peace, my dear children.”

BOOK: “MY HEART WILL TRIUMPH”

Memoir by Medjugorje Visionary, Mirjana Soldo

Introduction (First Page)

My name is Mirjana. I’ve experienced visions of the Virgin Mary for more than 35 years. I cannot say it more directly than that.

I understand that it might be difficult to imagine such a thing happening in modern times. Even to some believers, miracles are things of the past. But I doubt that anyone was more shocked than I was when it all began. I did not even know such things could take place, especially in Međugorje, a small village in former Yugoslavia.

You should know that I’ve been tested by doctors and scientists from all over the world, and they all agree on one thing: I am perfectly normal. I even have that in writing.

So, before you question my mental health, with a smile on my face I simply ask: Do you have an official document validating your sanity?

I did not write this to persuade you to believe me. I am just a messenger, and I wish to share my story with the hope that it might bring some comfort to a world in which peace is becoming increasingly scarce.

Saying that my life changed on the afternoon of June 24, 1981 hardly conveys the gravity of what transpired.

Until that day, I lived under the heavy hand of communism and stomached the many aggravations that went along with it, but the worst suffering began after I and five other children experienced something extraordinary.

What we saw radically changed us, our families, and millions of people around the world, but it also provoked the wrath of the Yugoslav regime. Fearing that my testimony was a threat to their rule, the communists declared me an enemy of the state when I was just 16 years old.

Perhaps their fears were warranted, because I had come to know something far greater than the communist government—far greater, in fact, than anything on Earth…

I had come to know God’s love.
