[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

We are starting with a radio show today that I did fourteen years ago. My voice was different than it was now, but I didn’t have any transcript, and this is a very important broadcast. You need to listen to this several times.

 

It’s important that you come back to these broadcasts because the messages of Our Lady say something this month, something a year later, five years later. This is a strong broadcast.

 

Some people may not like it. I don’t care. I’m going to say what Our Lady says. You’ll find why.

 

Vicka, one of the six of the visionaries, she said that she has never seen Our Lady so sad since this, and this time, in the family, in the world.

 

Our Lady has said, in a message, directly to women. Listen to this. And this is why I say, you women may not like what I’m going to say. And the message Our Lady says, “I desire to be your Mother because the family is in crisis.” (June 25, 1995)

 

I said what is in my heart and what Our Lady shows me and what She says the messages. And the problem in the whole world is women and the mothers.

 

You can get mad, but truth cuts to pieces. As I said already, as Our Lady said, we have a crisis with the mothers.

 

I never worry about getting in trouble with people.

 

Last year, I wrote a booklet that said, “You have blood on your hands.” And I sent it to all the bishops. Five hundred bishops in the United States. I got some bad letters from them. Truth got Jesus in trouble. Most of you, you would have gotten it in the mail. We’re not here to solve things. I can say that because Our Lady said on April 2, 2005, quote,

 

“At this moment…”

 

Not yesterday, not five hundred years ago. She says,

 

“At this moment, I ask you to renew the Church.”

 

What does that mean?

 

The Church is very sick.

 

“At this moment, I ask you to renew the Church.”

 

We are doing broadcasts for this and also what we put on mej.com, a nine-day countdown to March 18^th, Mirjana’s apparition. She said that one, Mirjana, apparition, maybe this one or maybe not, something’s going to happen. And this countdown to March 18^th, we’ve got a writing every day like I just said on mej.com. You need to be reading everything on that.

 

All of Our Lady’s messages, what the problem is, fatherhood in the family has been killed. The mothers—the women—are running everything. It’s the round. Ephesians 5:23 states,

 

“for the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the Church, and he is savior of the body.”

 

Oh, that’s just one Bible. No. There’s probably ten things saying that the husband is the head and God his Head, and the husband is the head of the wife. And through these decades, it’s changed around.

 

Colossians 3:18,

“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands as it is fit to the Lord.”

 

Women, wives, are you doing that?

 

Husbands have no say. A lot of women—and I’ve seen it, and you’ve probably seen it. It may be you, one of them, that you think you’re smarter than your husband. How can you say that when God has got in him, and he is supposed to guide her?

 

Go out on the beach, look at the swimming suits. It’s nasty! Even downtown, in the school, the mothers…

 

Let’s take another one. Let’s take 1 Timothy, chapter 2, verses 11-12:

 

“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection, but I suffer not a woman to teach nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”

 

I can keep going with this, but I want to get enough for you to listening to this, the show, for the purpose, because the family is in big trouble, because the headship is the wife.

 

1 Corinthians 11:8-9. Go look it up.

 

“For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man.”

 

satan got, in the beginning, in the Garden, and man fell, it’s happening now.

 

The devil, he’s very smart. We’ve got the Church now, all the women on the altar. It says in the Bible, the woman is not to be on the altar. And then they change brother and sisters. They changed the Bible. And now, I’ve heard some priests stand up, say, “Sisters, brothers,” change it there.

 

What does that tell you? It makes me sick every time in Mass I hear, “Brother, sister.” Brother is woman, because she’s out of brother. Language is very important.

 

I bet you, playing around with language, is the men. And so, nobody’s seeing that. I see it. You get a GPS, go in your car or on your cell phone. Listen. It’s a woman’s voice. “Now, take a left.” GPS says, “Take a right there.” It’s a woman’s voice. That is satan. I saw that years ago, to condition that woman to be telling man, because most of the time, he’s driving the car. And it says, “Turn right. Go to west. Go left,” to get you to follow and listen. How come it’s woman? You can’t do that.

 

I don’t have a cell phone, but I’ve heard people in the car, and what I have is a GPS plugged up in, and I started to look at this. It’s woman. I’m getting in the car to go somewhere. I get orders from a woman fifteen times to go over here. You go there. “You’ve got two more miles. Take a right.”

 

I looked. I had to find out to get a man’s voice on it. I got somebody to look at this GPS, “I want a man telling me where I’m going now.” He found another voice for another woman and another one. We got down nine, all women! And then finally, they got one man at the back.

 

Who’s doing that? It’s the devil.

 

I went to Communion, and I was out of town, and there was three women giving Communion. The Bible says they’re not supposed to be on the altar. I don’t want to get the Eucharist from a woman. Why? Because it’s Christ. And my whole life, I have never taken Communion in my hands, and I’m sure not going to get it from a woman.

 

I am not a woman hater. It’s got me 180 turnaround because satan does change God’s order in the family.

 

I’m giving you something to think about it. The wife and the husband, I’ve got a book called, How to Change Your Husband. You’re about to listen to a broadcast, but I want to say about this book, this book, we give it to people free, just for the postage and for the paper.

 

What you’re going to hear now, you order fifty books. It shows the right order for you, wife, woman, and man your role.

 

So, I turn over now this broadcast. Listen to it several times. Call people, because what this show is a cure if you accept it. The whole broadcast is really, where are nonbelievers coming from, from the family. And that’s not me. It’s in the messages that Our Lady says, they don’t have father in the family.

 

So, we begin this broadcast.

 

[THEME MUSIC]

[CLIP – FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

And of course, this is a special broadcast because it’s about Mirjana’s March 18^th apparition. It’s the apparition date that Our Lady gave to her when her daily apparitions ceased.

 

Several years later, Our Lady came back with inner locutions, actually, in Oregon, in the United States of America, for one of her first apparitions after those that had ceased for several years. And from that point, we began to publish those, and others were saying they shouldn’t be published. We continued to put those out, that if Our Lady said it, it is to be put out. And we got persecution for it. What came from that is Our Lady eventually said that, “I want everybody to come to the second of the month messages,” and then that broke it open for everyone.

 

But several of those messages we continued to put out, because if Our Lady’s gathering on the mountain with Ivan, and five thousand people are there, then you around the world have the right to that message just as anyone else who would be there.

 

Our Lady, if She gives a private message—and she has done that for the prayer group—then it’s closed. We don’t have that.

 

And so, this annual apparition that Mirjana had was all we had from her for a while until Our Lady began to give these other second of the month messages. And we’ve been one that, if Our Lady says it, we’re going to put it out. If it costs us, it costs us.

 

But then again, Our Lady’s called us to be apostles, and the early apostles were with Christ. We’re told not to speak about the Christ anymore. And in fact, Peter was hauled in before the other apostles, Peter and John, and told to not mention the Christ anymore. They lashed them, let them go, and the first thing they did, they started professing Christ.

 

So, we profess these messages, their importance. No one owns the messages. You do. I do. Everyone does. The visionaries have no authority to withhold them themselves, and nobody over them has the authority to hold them or retain the messages or stymie the messages. They belong to everybody.

 

Medjugorje belongs to the world. And it’s why it hasn’t been approved at this point. God doesn’t want Medjugorje approved. God doesn’t want the Catholic Church to have ownership of these. Yes, doctrinal error in the messages or something heretical happens, the Church steps in. But there’s nothing heretical. There’s no reason for the Church to step in. And the Church has spoken, because it gives freedom for private revelations to be spread.

 

So, for those who say the Church hasn’t approved it, you’re off base. You don’t go to the negative. You go to the positive. What is the positive? The Church says private revelations can be spread. Woe to those, sad to those, who choose to ignore Our Lady’s actions, what She’s saying, what She’s trying to get us to understand, because this is the time of grace, with a limited amount of years—which, we’re in thirty years—months, days and hours. And we’re coming down to the closing of that. Our Lady’s been with us thirty years to lead us out of the desert for forty years, 2021.

 

The messages Our Lady shows us on a daily basis is to give the world everything it will need to go through the antichrist  because we’re going through a mock-up, we’re going through the space shuttle’s training of Apollo moon launch, where they had to go and do dress rehearsals. We’re in not a dress rehearsal, because when they did a dress rehearsal, it was a real thing. And we’re going through the real thing of the antichrist now.

 

And so, we have an antichrist system that we’re faced with. And fortunately for us, in our time, that we live in this, Her time, it’s going to show the Christians later, the elect, who have to go through three and half years through the fullness of the antichrist system, which we’re going through now a type…not a type, but a mock-up, that She’s come to dismantle. She’s come to stop. She’s come with a wrecking ball to tear it to pieces, just like the Tower of Babel. If you want to understand more about that, read Thirty Years of Apparitions, which you can download free, correct? On the site, mej.com, Thirty Years of Apparitions. It explains this.

 

You need to understand this time. The way you understand this time is to recognize the signs of the times. There are so many laws coming at you, so many assaults, that it’s very easy to realize that all we need is the devil to become incarnate in a man in a system, because the antichrist is not just one man. It’s the whole system. And we’ve got that.

 

And so, why are we so sick? Our Lady said, “And you, my children are deaf and blind to which direction the world is going without my Son,” February 2^nd, I think it was that date.

 

And so, with that message, Our Lady’s not telling, “Well, some people are that way.”

 

Some may say, “Oh, you can’t speak about the messages in generalizations.” Our Lady speaks in generalizations. “YOU are blind. YOU are deaf.” I know, when I’m walking right, and Our Lady gives a message, that that message at that moment doesn’t apply to me, because I’m seeing, and I’m not deaf, and I’m listening to Her. But I might be the next week. I might be the next month. And that’s why we have to pray three hours a day.

 

So, it’s amazing to me, you people that follow Medjugorje are still deaf and blind in the way Our Lady’s talking to us and what they see.

 

And so, this message today has something really profound in it, not even completely hidden. There’s millions of ways to see this message, because that’s what they’re about, to lead us in this time, as well as tomorrow, as well as the antichrist system when it comes to do battle with Christ’s people and Jesus comes back.

 

And so, with this message, we’re going to go to the obvious, to what’s important that She’s saying, clearly, and identifying it to our time.

 

We have a tragedy in the world. In fact, Vicka said the saddest times that she sees Our Lady, it’s about the youth and the family. And if there was ever a message about family, about what Our Lady’s trying to get us to understand that what we’re deaf to, what we’re blind to, it’s in this message.

 

“…I desire to be your mother…”

 

How many families suffer from the lack of mother in the family?

 

Oh, I wrote about that yesterday and today. It’s on the site. Talking about motherhood, the crisis.

 

People say, “Okay, you’ve got a crisis in fatherhood.” Well, that’s because we’ve got a crisis in motherhood. “Well, you know, it’s Adam’s fall that we fell through.” Well, it came through Eve.

 

So, if we’re going to correct it, we’ve got to correct motherhood.

 

The tragedies in the family surround that. It’s the mother who Our Lady’s come to show how to mother the world. What the world needs now, the most, is mother. We’ve had God the Father. We’ve had Christ the Son. We’ve had the descent of the Holy Spirit. And this is why Our Lady is saying, “This is My time,” because nowhere in the history of the world have we needed mother more than we need now. How many even know not where their mother is? How many long for their mother. They haven’t seen her in years?

You may say, “That’s not my case. I’m in the home.” But then we live in a broken home, too. But we start with those who never knew their mother, who long to have them. And that stands for people who are right next to their mother who’s not emotionally involved with them, except their flesh, taking care of them, buying their clothes, doing this, going there.

 

What about their souls? If you really love your children, your first priority is the children’s soul, not that they have the best school clothes, or even adequate school clothes. Let them be in rags radiating light from their soul, than dressed up, radiating darkness from their whole being and their countenance.

 

And so, Our Lady says something in this message that makes us stop and pause and look at the condition we’re in. Do you ever wonder, is the family structured right? Is it going down the right way? Is motherhood right and correct today? I wonder. Do you not wonder? It’s something really to think about. Why is this?

 

[SONG]

Sometimes I think about you
Wonder if you’re out there somewhere thinkin’ ’bout me
And would you even recognize
The woman that your little girl has grown up to be?

 

‘Cause I look in the mirror, and all I see
Are your brown eyes, lookin’ back at me
They’re the only thing, you ever gave to me at all

 

Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in California
There’s sunny skies as far I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you’d say to me

 

I think about how it ain’t fair
That you weren’t there to braid my hair like mothers do
You weren’t around to cheer me on
Help me dress for my high school prom like mothers do

 

Did you think I didn’t need you here?
To hold my hand, to dry my tears

 

Did you even miss me through the years at all?

 

Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in California
There’s sunny skies as far I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you’d say to me

 

Forgiveness is such a simple word
But it’s so hard to do
When you’ve been hurt

 

Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in California
And just in case, you’re wonderin’ about me
From now on, I won’t be in Carolina
Your little girl is off… Your little girl is off…
Your little girl is off to Tennessee

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

“…I will take your lives into my motherly hands and I will teach them peace and love…”

 

To begin the message, Our Lady says,

 

“…I desire to be your mother…”

 

Preceding that, She says,

 

“…I am coming among you…”

 

Do you think that’s a message?

 

Do you think the world needs something, that even the mothers there that’s really trying, with the way that the world is conditioned, trained, and the mentalities that’s instilled into us, even into the Church of what real motherhood is, we’ve lost.

 

There’s something really interesting in this whole framework, the whole structure of this message, and that’s that She shows that She wants,

 

“…I desire to be the bond between you and the Heavenly Father…”

 

She’s the Mother. And put this in the context of a husband and wife. She’s saying something there. Yes, it’s you individual and you as a mother, to take you to the Father. But that’s to be reflective in the home also. Why? Because we don’t have the proper exchange between the husband and wife in the home. We don’t know what we’ve been taught by Hollywood, and so many things have eroded and corrupted the mentality of what that really true relationship should be and how solid it should be, the rock.

 

In the Poem of the Man-God, Jesus says, even though He had to leave Heaven, He experienced on earth, between the pillars of Mary and Joseph, their love and their exchange between each other was so exalting that Heaven descended down upon the earth and surrounded Him with angels.

 

And so, Our Lady’s trying to point us to something here, when She says, first, Her first thing is what Jesus said when He was on the earth, “My Heavenly Father.” You know, “Don’t look at Me for the miracles. It comes from the Father.” Jesus shows this structure. He shows its importance.

 

And so, that’s why we see 25, 35, 40, 50, 60 years ago, an attack on fatherhood, to demean him, to degrade him by degrading the woman.

 

Our Lady says something interesting in here.

 

“…I am asking of you to pray and fast because only in this way will you know how to witness my Son in the right way through my motherly heart…”

 

The fashions that the women wear just to Church is offensive, on the streets, is offensive. The clothing magazines is offensive.

 

Oh, well, we’re so conditioned, we’re desensitized to it. It’s the mom. It’s the mom on the go. It’s on the billboard.

 

And so, we have, even not even the proper concept of the representation of motherhood, when we have Our Lady saying, know how to be a witness. We don’t know really, completely, about motherhood, and therefore, not fatherhood, because the son comes through the mother. She imprints him growing up, and she paints the image of the father, and that’s something that’s very important to grasp and to understand.

 

And so, we have, Our Lady says, “…I will teach them peace and love…” is the question you just asked. Well,

 

“…I will take your lives into my motherly hands and I will teach them peace and love…”

 

You can’t do that if you don’t have a relationship with the Father. Nonbelievers, we’re told, are people that don’t know the love of God. That’s through Mirjana. We were told through Jelena, the inner locutionist, Our Lady said, how do the children learn to love God the Father, and it’s through the exchange of the love of the mother and father.

 

We know at vocations, the better the relationship that the vocation or the priest or the nun or even people in the Community had with their father, the more sound, the more solid, the more they’re anchored in the right way. The weaker relationship, the worse they are, because they don’t have a proper relationship with God the Father.

 

So, nothing can be mended with Jesus until we amend with God the Father. And that’s why Hollywood, and that’s why the culture has attacked, so strongly, fatherhood. It’s got to be destroyed.

[NARRATOR]

God, all-powerful, could bring His Son into the world any way He chose. He chose the structure of the family. Family is, therefore, the most sacred institution which exists. It is why Jesus, Mary and Joseph are referred to as the Holy Family. Family is to be a holy way of living.

 

satan hates holiness, and therefore, hates the family.

 

Today’s families need a model. Meditate on the Holy Family, which brought Heaven to earth.

 

Ancient Christian mystics tell us little Jesus, being raised between two pillars whose love was as pure as fire, did not even miss Heaven, for it existed in His home.

 

Does your family and home reflect the Holy Family?

 

Come to the Resting Place, a gift shop to help your family on the path to holiness and surroundings to reflect the same.

You’re listening to Radio WAVE with a Friend of Medjugorje.

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

What I wrote in this commercial is cored into the message, and you see, it’s just as timely as it is at this moment as it was back then.

 

And that’s what Our Lady’s trying to get us to understand, not to be deaf and blind to what She’s saying. It’s timeless.

There’ll be people marching in front of the antichrist in defiance professing Christ, giving their lives. They will be using these messages as applied into our life the way we’re living it today.

 

We, like the early Church, with the apostles, are who they’ll reference their lives to pattern it then, because that’s why we’re going through a mock-up to show that they did defeat this through Our Lady’s hands. And in that time, hold out.

 

The messages are so critically important for the future. And there’s certain things about the mystics that tell us that one thing in the family, the future’s going to be really hellacious is family. There’ll be so much hatred in it.

 

And so, we have broken family today, and we have people that don’t know how to recognize what it is Our Lady’s saying.

 

We see that the husband can be bad. He can do bad things, be a drunk, other things, and the mom can highlight those things and accentuate those things and make it horrible for the children. They won’t be made whole.

 

But a good mother, a good woman will be able to mend that. The kids will grow up and see what she did, despite their father’s faults or what might not have been correct, and make these children whole. The mom’s interpretation of the events and the marriage is critically important to give the children the ear of the father. She loses when she doesn’t do that.

 

I had a song called “Mama” that I wanted to play, but it’s really difficult to understand the words. But it goes like this:

 

“It could’ve been bitter

You could’ve hated him

You could’ve talked how bad he was about things

You could’ve done better

But you loved him anyhow

Then you taught us

All the power of forgiveness”

 

See, you’re teaching your kids. You say, “I want to leave,” or, “My husband’s a louse.” No! Our Lady’s showing you, you as a mother has the tender love of forgiveness that’s going to make your children whole. You want them to be quitters? You want them to stop?

 

And I’m talking about a husband without faults. We’ve got husbands that are very good that we hear from, walking perfect. And the image the wife makes of him is he’s inconsequential. “Don’t listen to him.” Or, “This matter he doesn’t have any expertise,” or “This matter he doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” or being overridden by the wife.

 

This is dangerous! A woman like this song was talking about, “You could’ve hated him, but you taught us all the power of forgiveness,” make them love the dad. Those children will fare better than a husband who’s walking right, and the wife is always rebuffing him or humiliating him or not listening to him.

 

The power of the woman is immense, and that’s why Our Lady’s coming

 

You say, “Oh, this is a stretch.” It’s in the message!

 

Our Lady said something incredible, and it was December 19, 1985.

 

“…God will bestow great gifts on you if you surrender yourselves to Him…”

 

Mothers, surrender to this relationship that Our Lady shows how She is before the Heavenly Father, in submission. And that relationship between Her, the Heavenly Father, and the Virgin Mary will give Her the ability to take us by the hand, teach us peace and love. “…and I will give them over to my Son…”

 

Are you giving your children over to the Son?

 

You say, well, “Oh, you’re slanted, just toward the wife.” Well, listen to what Our Lady says.

 

December 19, 1985

“…I wish in a special way on Christmas Day to give mothers my own Special Motherly blessing and Jesus will bless the rest with His own blessing…”

 

And I speak this to you, woman. Why did Our Lady do that? Why does Our Lady keep coming and saying, “I’m coming to you as your Mother”? Why does Our Lady come yesterday in the 18^th of the month message, and say, “…I desire to be your mother – your intercessor…”? Your bond before the Father! The mother in the home is a bond before the father before the children.

 

You say, “Well, that’s stretching it.” Okay. What about this message:

 

July 31, 1989

“…tonight especially I would like to invite all the parents in the world to find time for their children and family…”

 

You have mothers saying, “Yeah, that’s right. Find time.” But this is what Our Lady says…and I’m saying that in regards to the husband. There’s always a complaint, instead of saying, “Well, your father works hard. He provides this roof over your head. He’s trying.” And yet, she complains. So, what will the children think?

 

He’s inadequate.

 

They’re following Hollywood’s theme, because, in that way, the children’s relationship with God the Father will be damaged.

 

Are you blind to this? Are you deaf to this? Do you do this? You damage your children’s eternity.

 

Our Lady continues, She says, “…May they…” the husband and wife,

 

“…offer love to their children…”

 

Listen carefully to the next sentence.

 

“…May this love that they offer be parental and Motherly love…”

 

Wow.

 

Our Lady really discriminates against fatherhood.

 

She left us out on Her blessing on Christmas Day, December 19, ’85, said She’s only going to bless the mothers, and all the men and the children, the little boys and girls, will get Jesus’ blessing?

 

Why does She segregate that? You think that’s a message? And why did She say, “…May this love that they offer be parental and Motherly love…”? Why didn’t She say, “May this love that they offer be fatherly and motherly love”? Except the world is sick for motherhood! It’s got cancer. It’s infected. It’s infected with the bite of the apple.

Our Lady says,

 

October 24, 1988

“…your Mother wants to call you to pray for the young of the whole world, for the parents of the whole world so they know how to educate their children and how to lead them in life with good advice…the situation of the young is difficult…Help parents who don’t know, who give bad advice!”

 

The bad advice given today to children is between the exchange of the husband and wife, your witness, your love for each other, especially the wife showing that there is somebody that directs the family, that she follows direction. You can’t have two people teaching authority. You’ll always have fights. You’ll always have dissension. You have the kids deciding when they’re going to not obey. They learn to obey the teacher, the officer, how the mothers relate to the husband.

 

You don’t like that? I know. Many women don’t like that. That’s why I wrote How to Change Your Husband. They tell me they don’t like it. But they say, “You know, it works.”

 

So, this song I was talking about goes on and talks about,

 

“You taught us all

About the power of forgiveness”

 

The refrain is,

 

“Mama, you smiled when you could’ve been cryin’

Oh, Mama, you made me believe everything was alright”

 

Can you believe the wisdom there?

 

I’ve said it before, there’s been alcoholics, husbands, who the mother made everything right and made their children right, including Ronald Reagan. The mother was a saint. And she made her husband, Ronald Reagan’s father, as a saint, because she had the wisdom to know, if she did that, and he could look up and follow his good attributes, forget about his bad, he would be whole!

 

“You could’ve been cryin’

Oh Mama, you made me believe everything was alright

Oh Mama, you never wore your pain too thick

I’d like to thank you for this

You could’ve fought

You could’ve cut him down to shame

You could’ve told us that our daddy didn’t want us

That would’ve been…”

 

Well, it goes on and says that, but the point I’m saying is this, she knew, this woman in this song, or the story of it, that to make her children whole, they had to have a good relationship with their father. They had to have a good, imprinted image of him.

 

My mother did that for my father. We thought he was the best appliance service man in the whole state of Alabama. She would say that! Alabama’s, you know, a pretty big state. But we believed that! It was almost adulthood before I understood she was saying it because she wanted us to believe in him.

 

It’s easy for me to believe in God, because I saw that in my father.

 

And so, this next song is about surrender.

 

Our Lady says,

 

June 29, 1992

“…tonight in a special way I want to invite you to surrender completely to me. Give me all your problems and difficulties. I especially want from you to renew my messages in your lives…”

 

Our Lady can’t do that if you don’t surrender.

 

But there’s one error in this song, and that’s why I’m qualifying this song, “Surrender,” that’s about to be played. It’s because it says he learned about a father from other fathers he watched.

 

See, the mother, instead of crying all day and every day, could’ve changed the situation and helped make this son that grew up more than what he was. Instead, now, he has difficulties. He has hard times. The only thing he can do is now surrender. So, you might have been through that. Your mother may have been painting the image that she could have made things better, but didn’t have the wisdom or was raised in the right way, to you, as a boy, a child, or husband that you grew up to be, not what you should’ve had.

 

And so, we need to realize, broken homes don’t have to be broken. The mom has the power, and Our Lady wants to see this by having a strong relationship and imprinting a good image of the father no matter what he is or who he is.

 

[SONG]

Well I grew up in a broken home

I thought it didn’t wound me, but I was wrong

I learned how to be a man,

Watching the fathers of my friends

It’s hard getting what you need

When your mother is cryin’ every day

I turned all that sorrow

And I learned how to lock it away

 

I never let anyone in

I was solid as a stone

If something needed figuring out

I’d figure it out on my own

I fought with the ones that I loved most

Screaming in the dead of the night

I saw love as a battlefield

And I put up a fight

But I surrender

I surrender

 

Now I’ve done a lot of things wrong

But I can’t blame my childhood on

Withholding forgiveness

Is living, but it’s sickness

I’m ashamed that I’m too weak

To turn my life around

Tonight, I just give up

I lay everything down

 

I never let anyone in

I was solid as a stone

If something needed figuring out

I could figure it out on my own

I fought with the ones that I loved most

Screaming in the dead of the night

I saw love as a battlefield

And I put up a fight

But I surrender

I surrender

I surrender

Imitating what she’s established between the father and her son. We don’t call the Holy Family the Holy Family without cause, without purpose. You can’t have a relationship with a father, the Heavenly Father, if you don’t have it in the home. The overall messages show you’re crippled.

 

Nonbelievers—I never finished the point before about nonbelievers—all of them have a difficult time with their father. And that father’s image, we have to ask ourselves, is determined and defined by the mother’s reaction, staying with him, do what you have to do. Or as the first song we talked about, “I Wonder,” abandon it. But that doesn’t mean you have to go off somewhere else like California and the child being in Carolina. You can abandon them in the home, just like this song was just about, the war, a battleground.

 

“I saw love as a battlefield

And I put up a fight”

 

And so, we have this crippling acceptance of the fractured family today, and we don’t know how to get out of it. We don’t know how to walk out of it, and Our Lady’s showing us, have a relationship with the Heavenly Father. “I will be your bond. I will help you as Mother so that you can have the proper children in your family who know My Son.”

The home is sacred, a noble place where order is born.

 

The Greek philosopher Homer said,

 

“There is nothing more nobler, more admirable, than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.”

 

What takes place in the home has an important affect upon the whole world. If homes are unstable, the whole of society will be also.

 

The only way to have a noble home and see eye to eye is to understand your role and live it.

 

By this means, society will change.

 

Many homes today, including Christian homes, are only filled with unpeace and strife.

 

Is your home a sacred, holy place, a refuge where the Holy Spirit wishes to dwell in the midst of family?

 

Or, is your home a warzone with no peace, full of strife and division?

 

Is there hope for change?

“…I desire to take you by the hand and to walk with you in the battle against the impure spirit…”

 

The impure spirit has invaded the family, just like it did the first family. Through jealousy, Cain looked at Abel, then anger, and then murder.

 

The impure spirit is in the family, and it’s come through womanhood, just like it did in the first family, through Eve. There was a period of time between Eve eating the apple that followed before Adam ate it. He wasn’t broken away yet from God. He was told by God not to eat it, and Eve was told by Adam not to eat it, that God the Father said not to. She listened to the serpent. He listened to her. This is the order of things. This is how the Fall came about.

 

And so, if you can’t understand why Our Lady’s coming saying over and over about “mother,” and we need parental love…She could have just as easily said “fatherly” love. Why did She say “parental”? Because we must unblind ourselves through prayer. We must not be deaf to recognize this. This is painful when people start realizing what they’ve done with their life and what they could have done.

And there are some people out there that’s very fortunate to be blessed, that’s had a good mother, that her voice is always in that child, even when she grows up, or when he grows up and does what he needs to do, and they have a good father, that when they do something bad, they think about him, and they think about how it would hurt him, because it hurts God the Father.

 

This is the whole home. And what happens when somebody strays? They’ll hear those voices to keep their feet on the ground, from the parents. Their heart in their hand faces forward.

 

Be yourself, not what everybody else wants you to be, the mask, all cardboard people.

 

And they’ll long, they’ll long badly to be what it is their mother and father wanted them to be, or rather, what their mother and father taught them to be.

 

And so, we need to realize, there is an importance that when your children stray, if the mother and father has given them the way, they know how to come back to it.

 

[SONG]

I’ve got money in my pocket

I like the color of my hair

I’ve got a friend who loves me

Got a house

I’ve got a car

I’ve got a good mother

And her voice is what keeps me here

 

Feet on ground

Heart in hand

Facing forward

Be yourself

 

I-I’ve never wanted anything

Oh I, Oh I, I’ve never wanted anything so bad

So bad

 

Cardboard masks of all the people I’ve been

Thrown out with all the rusted, tangled, dented

Worn out miseries

You could say I’m hard to hold

But if you knew me, you’d know

 

I’ve got a good father

And his strength is what makes me cry

Feet on ground

Heart in hand

Facing forward

Be yourself

 

I-I’ve never wanted anything

Oh I, Oh I, I’ve never wanted anything so bad

So bad

 

I’ve got money in my pocket

I like the color of my hair

I’ve got a friend who loves me

Got a house

I’ve got a car

I’ve got a good mother

And her voice is what keeps me here

 

Feet on ground

Heart in hand

Facing forward

Be yourself

 

Heart in hand

Feet on ground

Facing forward

Be yourself

 

Just be yourself

Just be yourself

Our Lady’s desire for you is to realize, no matter what the circumstances how you’re in, you always can make good come out of that.

 

Struggles, tribulations, difficulties, poverty, being rich, whatever circumstances, if it be good, it’s because of the proper mentality, and that’s not taught, especially in the family today. Like Ivan said, the parents are into material things, and they leave the children what’s most important. And then satan can come after a big sin in the family and the marriage, after the children one by one.

 

I was raised in a home where we had five of us in a small bedroom, and I mean small, 10 x 12. I don’t even think, I think it was 10 x 11. We each had one drawer growing up. My mother and father weren’t perfect, but we never doubted that they loved each other and they loved us. We felt it. We knew it.

 

My mother cared more for our souls than she did our flesh.

 

My father gave love. We look at him as a patriarch.

 

But one thing we didn’t know, because we weren’t given that mentality, is that we were without. All the houses in our neighborhood were about like ours. They were crammed in with two bunk beds, two sleeping on one, three in the other. So, we had five people there at one point.

 

We thought we were rich! We thought we were the luckiest people in the world. We didn’t even know what we didn’t have until I went over to a friend’s house when I was almost a teenager and saw his bedroom, and he had a bed there for himself and his brother’s bed. I couldn’t believe it! I remember standing there like, “Wow! Y’all have just two of you in this bedroom?” And it was three times bigger than our bedroom. But I never knew that because my mentality was not taught to be, oh, what you don’t have or complaining about, “We need this,” or “We need that.” We were happy because we were taught to be happy. We had fun.

 

You’re only going to have one time to go through this life, and it goes fast. Look, thirty years of apparitions! It’s amazing when we see somebody 27, 28 years old, they’ve been with the apparitions in Medjugorje since the beginning of their life, and how quickly that’s passing.

 

Are you making your home where the children feel like they’re lucky, how blessed they are?

 

Not if you’re at war or it’s a battleground.

 

You distract their attention into broken relationship, a warzone, no happiness.

 

There was a lot of laughter in our house. Oh yes, there were some arguments. But we felt joy. We had joy in our hearts. We were interested in life.

 

In this life, we only get one trip around the sun. We live in a dream time right now. Do you see that? Do you understand that? If you do, you’ll be making your home Heaven.

 

[SONG]

I don’t wanna be the one who’s old before their time
And lose the wonder that I felt as a child
I can’t run this race believing I might lose
Still so much to see and so much left to do

 

Yes, I’ll fall before I fly
But no one can say I never tried

 

Oh, we just get one ride around the sun
In this dream of time
It goes so fast
But one day we look back and we ask
“Was that my life?”

 

I close my eyes and think how lucky I have been
To hold the ones I love and share my dreams with them
All those sunny days and all those starry skies
Good morning kisses and sweet good nights

 

Oh, I can’t tell them enough
Just how much that they are loved

 

Oh, you just get one ride around the sun
In this dream of time
It goes so fast that one day we look back
And we ask, “Was that my life?”

 

We just get one ride around the sun
In this dream of time
It goes so fast, that one day we look back
And we ask, “Was that my life?”

 

Ooh, was that my life rollin’ on by?
Oh, rollin’, rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on by
Was that my life?

For you fathers out there, you have a hard road to hold in many ways. Everything is against you. Everything is a current against fatherhood, and many have succumbed to the wrong things. Many have been oppressed. Many have been raised wrong and have the wrong ideas.

 

But Our Lady as Mother has come to take you back to your boyhood, that you might can be in your manhood a good husband and a good father and a good leader. It doesn’t matter if it’s not given to you. It may be by a good wife. It may not be. But it’s not for anybody’s to take because God gave it to you. He gave it to you. He gave you fatherhood, and this is where you need to walk, because not just fatherhood. One day, you’ll be a grandpa. When you’ve fallen in that position, even imprint more. You become a patriarch. It’s important to understand the legacy you leave by the way you live. And what they see, your children, your grandchildren, is what you are. You give them a foundation, a solid way, to walk.

 

[SONG]

You stood on that bank when I got baptized
Gave me a 30, 30 when I turned nine

 

I could hear you cheerin’ when we won the state
And you held my hand at grandma’s grave
And I’ll always be thankful you never sold the farm

 

You were the same man on Sunday mornin’ as Saturday night

Five foot six to the top of your hat
But when you talked about the war, thought you were Superman
American born simple man with a southern drawl
You walk the walk, you talk the talk, grandpa

 

You still swear Roosevelt was the best
That a home grown tomato tastes better than the rest
And 50 years goes too fast with a woman you love

 

Well, this life I’ve chose is gettin’ busy now
But I know where to go when I need to slow down
And when I walk up on your front porch, it’s just like I’m still young

 

You were the same man on Sunday mornin’ as Saturday night

Five foot six to the top of your hat
But when you talked about the war, thought you were Superman
American born simple man with a southern drawl

You walk the walk, you talk the talk, grandpa

 

Yeah, American-born, a dirt road man with that slow southern drawl
Now keep walkin’ the walk and talkin’ the talk, grandpa

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

What is the story in this life that you’re writing with your life?

 

What is the story that you will wish you would write?

 

Do you write what you live? That’s what people will see.

 

And what will you say at the end of your life?

 

Was that my life?

 

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