Medjugorje: The Last Stand

Medjugorje: The Last Stand

Holy Thursday
April 13, 2017 A.D.

The following is Our Lady Queen of Peace of Medjugorje’s April 2, 2017 Message Given through Mirjana on the Day for Non-Believers:

“Dear children, apostles of my love, it is up to you to spread the love of my Son to all those who have not come to know it; you, the little lights of the world, whom I am teaching with motherly love to shine clearly with full brilliance. Prayer will help you, because prayer saves you, prayer saves the world. Therefore, my children, pray with words, feelings, merciful love and sacrifice. My Son has shown you the way – He who became incarnate and made of me the first chalice, with His exalted sacrifice He has shown you how you need to love. Therefore, my children, do not be afraid to speak the truth. Do not be afraid to change yourself and the world by spreading love, by doing everything for my Son to be known and loved by loving others in Him. As a mother I am always with you. I am imploring of my Son to help you for love to reign in your life – love that lives, love that draws, love which gives life. I am teaching you such love – pure love. It is up to you, my apostles, to recognize it, live it and spread it. Pray with feeling for your shepherds so that they can witness my Son with love. Thank you.”

Medjugorje: The Last Stand

by a Friend of Medjugorje

We strongly urge you to pray to the Holy Spirit before reading the following — that divine grace be poured over you to hear Our Lady’s words and what She wishes to tell you from what you are about to read. It will be necessary to read more than once to fully absorb all that is written. It is a writing that even if you read it twice, and then a month from now read it a third time, will continue to give benefit to your soul. Therefore, please pause, go on your knees, and pray with seriousness to Our Lady and the Holy Spirit before reading further.

ST. FRANCIS WAS CALLED BY GOD TO TRANSFORM THE CHURCH. Much, much bigger the Queen of Peace is here to transform the whole Church and the whole world. St. Francis’ mission was in proportion to some of the greatest awakenings in the Church. The Queen of Peace of Medjugorje’s apparitions is much greater because it is of Biblical proportion. It is Revelation playing out. Biblical happenings typically are not recognized in the real time they occur. Medjugorje is a Bible moment, not recognized as such in the real time of its happening.

June 25, 2007

“…Little children, do not forget that you are all important in this ‘ great plan,’ which God leads through Medjugorje. God desires to convert the entire world and to call it to salvation and to the way towards Himself, who is the beginning and the end of every being…”

The Biblical promise that “the gates of hell will not ‘prevail’ against the Church,” is only one part of this Biblical moment manifesting through Our Lady and Medjugorje. To escape the clutches of death takes resurrection. Resurrection is needed when the body is being ‘prevailed’ against by a fatal disease, an injury or death.

March 25, 1999

“… Let us pray, little children, for all those who do not desire to come to know the love of God, even though they are in the Church. Let us pray that they convert, so that ‘ the Church may resurrect’ in love…”

Why? Our Lady said:

January 25, 2009

“…I am with you for this long because you are on the wrong path…”

When Heaven moves decisively, it is always outside the walls of the mentalities of theologians, the learned and scholars, because those intellectual approaches are too complex to recognize the profound movements of God. They are blind to God’s ways which are too simplistic to their ways of thinking. Medjugorje is very simple, yet profound in the power contained in Our Lady’s words and actions. It is the second greatest moment not only in Church history, but also in world history. No one will state such because very, very few understand the profoundness of Our Lady’s presence daily upon the earth with the visionaries, the parish people and pilgrims of Medjugorje. The “learned” did not recognize the Biblical moment of Christ on earth. Our Lady’s presence in Medjugorje is Biblical revelation manifesting, written in the Holy Word of God, the book of Revelation, especially Revelation chapter 12 and chapter 22.

Revelation 12 speaks of the “woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet1, and on her head a crown of twelve stars” battling with the dragon which is how Our Lady appears to the six Medjugorje visionaries. Revelation 22 speaks of “the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb…” which is Our Lady’s messages, as Our Lady said that they are “crystal” clear. Our Lady said they are conveyed from God, flowing from God’s throne. It continues saying, “…on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit once each month; twelve times a year and the leaves of the tree were medicine for the healing of the nations.” This lends itself clearly to the 25th monthly message and the 2nd of the month message which is the medicine for the healing of the nations, and therefore the world. Biblical? The Woman of Revelation…if not now, when? If not Medjugorje, where? If She is not to save the Church and the world, then who? Our Lady said:

May 2, 2016

“…I invite you, my children… be apostles of the revelation …”

Is it possible for Our Lady to say “be apostles of the revelation” and Our Lady mean it only symbolically? Our Lady is here upon the earth choosing apostles. We are to take this literally. Christ chose and formed His apostles while He walked the earth; they continue in succession to this day as the shepherds, the bishops of the Church. By what Our Lady spoke physically to the Medjugorje visionaries, it cannot be denied that Our Lady is paralleling the birth of the Church, not to rebirth it, but to resurrect it. It will be done as Her Son did, but with a different structure from what He set and established on earth. Our Lady is here to introduce a whole new body of apostles operating outside the realm of Her Son’s apostles! Not in a competing way, nor a rebellious way, rather in a new realm of acting through a new efficacy of the Virgin Mary that God is giving Her to act upon the Church and world. It is a new dawn never seen before in the Church or world! The Church is in a position of stagnation, incapable of breaking loose from what is harming it. It is in need of outside intervention by a new commissioned body of apostles of which Our Lady says, it is up to them to save the Church and save the world. Our Lady said:

April 2, 2017

“…apostles of my love…it is up to you…”

This world cannot be saved, nor the Church, without a clear understanding of love…a love that is not understood by the Church, therefore neither by the world in this time of modernism. One may object to the statement that “the Church needs saving,” saying that Jesus said, “On this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matt 16:18 That is a correct Biblical fact and is exactly the reason Our Lady is here. She is here to save the Church and the world from the gates of hell. Who understands this or verbalizes this, except that Our Lady has revealed it now in your hearing? In addition, Ivan revealed through Our Lady’s messages that had Our Lady not been sent, the world would have destroyed itself. That means the Church as well. This is why this moment, this time of Mary “ is” the second greatest moment in the world’s history. Our Lady is here to teach what is not being taught, to make known what is not known in this age of too many distractions which give the disguised appearance as good, but rather is evil. This false goodness of modernism has killed love. How can one know this statement is true? By Our Lady’s own words:

April 2, 2017

“…I am teaching you such love – pure love…”

Our Lady would not say this unless it were really true that we do not know love—pure love. Who is She teaching this to? Our Lady continues with the following sentence.

April 2, 2017

“…I am teaching you such love – pure love. It is ‘ up to you’, ‘ my apostles’, to recognize it, live it and spread it…”

There is a great void in the Church of not propagating a correct understanding of pure love; therefore God is sending Our Lady to teach us what we’ve lost. Otherwise, why does Our Lady say, “recognize it, live it, spread it?” Our Lady is building a body of apostles, as Christ built His body of apostles. Our Lady is doing this to resurrect the Church and change the world which today is crying out to reunite to the Christ it no longer knows. The moment in which we are living is beyond extraordinary, and beyond comprehension of the present mentalities of man. It can only be understood by those who are Our Lady’s apostles that are being established now, in the time God has given to Mary, for Her to reset the Church and reset the world to enter into a new time of peace the world has never known: The era of Mary reigning as the Queen of man’s heart. Mary, in the womb of Her heart, is here to birth into being something never experienced upon the earth since its very beginning; a holy era surpassing the greatest moments of Church history, outside of Christ’s birth, death, Resurrection and Pentecost. Our Lady said:

March 25, 1990

“…As I bore Jesus in my womb, so also, dear children, do I wish to bear you unto holiness…”

Man is in the midst of a moment that cannot be overstated in its effect of what it will affect upon the earth. It is in the hands of Her apostles, who are called not by the shepherds/bishops or by being self-appointed, but rather by Her direct and literal call to be real apostles of Hers, a real existence upon the earth to act upon the earth and in the Church! They will have power infused in them to enact Her teachings with the power of grace physically manifested out through their lives, sourced out in their witness supernaturally. They are apostles who will hold sway over the world, not to conquer it as warriors, but to save and lead it into a new era and a great time of peace conquered by love. Why? Because the Church has lost love. If it knew love it would convict the world of its shame, and sinners would flock to it. But they do not. The Church’s witness is nil, while other beliefs are growing. Scripture says in the latter times, love will grow cold.

Matthew 24:11-13

“And because wickedness is multiplied, most men’s love will grow cold. But he who endures to the end will be saved.”

Our Lady said:

March 25, 1986

… pray, so that in the whole world may come the Kingdom of Love…”

This responsibility is placed upon Our Lady’s apostles. Do not mistake these statements as comparable to those who were part of past renewals and movements. It is explosive to state, literally, the Holy Virgin Mary is here on earth to choose apostles. This is not some symbolic gesture by Our Lady or just another movement in the Church, such as St. Louis de Montfort started. He had members inducted as “slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady.” Nor can what Our Lady is doing in picking Her own apostles be likened or compared to St. Maximillian Kolbe’s group that he was inspired to put together called the Militia Immaculata. Our Lady’s plan is not in such league of past or current movements in the Church. There is nothing it can be likened to. Medjugorje is not a movement. Medjugorje is not a shrine any more than Jerusalem and its sacred sites are shrines. Jerusalem is a sacred place where the living God walked and established the Church. Likewise, Medjugorje is beyond a shrine. It is a live place of grace, between Heaven and earth, where just as Jesus was seen transfigured on Mt. Tabor, the transfigured, glorified Body of the Holy Virgin Mary visits daily, appearing all over the village as if She lives there.2   In fact, She does. Our Lady has taken up residence there, living among the parishioners and pilgrims for 36 years! It is Her place upon the earth in which She has called it Her most favorite place where the Almighty has sent Her.

March 21, 1985

“…in a special way I have chosen this parish, one more dear to me than the others, in which I have gladly remained when the Almighty sent me…”

Medjugorje is Our Lady’s Holy Lands with many significant sacred sites. It is a happening of God, a happening of direct Divine Intervention, an interception of man’s direction so to reverse his spiral into an abyss of total destruction. It should now be understood by you that Our Lady’s call for apostles, Her chosen ones, is in a whole different dimension from what happened in past Church history. It is absolutely not in a class like those of Louis de Montfort or Kolbe’s movements. Do not lessen, minimize, discount or put in a narrow frame work that Our Lady has simply come to put a body of people together comparable to de Montfort, Kolbe or other good movements which rose up in the Church throughout its history. One must reflect on exactly what Our Lady is telling us:

August 25, 1992

“…I call upon you to open yourselves completely to me, so that through each of you I may be enabled to convert and save the world…”

It is up to Our Lady’s apostles to fulfill God’s desire for the whole world.

June 25, 2007

“…God desires to convert the entire world…”

July 30, 1987

“…this is the reason for my presence among you for such a long time: … I want to save you and, through you, to save the whole world…”

May 5, 2014

“… pray for my intentions and my plans that I desire to realize with the world, with this parish, and with my Church…”

June 24, 1987

“…I wish that you convert the world…”

October 25, 1996

“…Through you, I wish to renew the world…”

April 2, 2005

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

Mirjana asked, “Can I do this, can we do this?”: Our Lady answered:

“My children, but I will be with you! My apostles, I will be with you and will help you!…”

December 2, 2015

“…Now, the Church is suffering and needs apostles who by loving unity, by witnessing and giving, show the ways of God. The Church needs apostles who by living the Eucharist with the heart, do great works; it needs you, my apostles of love…”

No one—no one has completely comprehended why Our Lady is here. Some do not because they do not want to, others because of their pride, still others because it has not been revealed to them. But for those few, very few, whom Our Lady has revealed it to, they know, they believe, they would die for it because it is of Biblical proportion—it is public revelation coming into being. Our Lady said on June 25, 1991:

“…There are many people who do not desire to understand my messages and to accept with seriousness what I am saying. But you I therefore call and ask that by your lives and your daily living you witness my presence. If you pray, God will help you discover ‘ the true reason’ for my coming. Therefore, little children, pray and ‘ read the Sacred Scriptures so’ that ‘ through my coming you discover the message in Sacred Scripture’ for you…”

Our Lady told us today, April 2, 2017:

“…apostles of my love, ‘ it is up to you’ to spread the love of my Son…”

Our Lady continued:

“…I am teaching you such love—pure love. ‘ It is up to you,’ my apostles, to recognize it, live it and spread it…”

Come out of the fog of the mentality that classifies these apparitions of Medjugorje in the context of all past Marian apparitions. This is not so. This is the finality of Mary. Her last stand. Her last call in such fullness that She will never appear upon the earth again. Why? Because of a brilliant new efficacy that will remain here to act and to work and be with us upon the earth, a new presence of Our Lady that will be with us until the earth ends.

March 18, 1996

“… On this message… I desire for you to reflect a long time…Do not close your eyes, do not close your ears while I repeat to you: Great is His love! Hear my call and my supplication which I direct to you… My eyes and my heart will be here, even when I will no longer appear…Do not reject from yourself the name of God, that you may not be rejected. Accept my messages that you may be accepted. Decide, my children, it is the time of decision…”

Our Lady is clear of this new power given to Her: “…My eyes and my heart will be here, even when I will no longer appear…” And what are the consequences of not accepting Our Lady’s messages? “…That you may not be rejected. Accept my messages that you may be accepted. Decide…it is ‘the’ time of decision…”

June 25, 1991

“…There are many people who do not desire to understand my messages and to accept with seriousness what I am saying…”

Now pause, look into your heart, close your eyes, get on your knees and strive to read very slowly today’s message, entering into it.

April 2, 2017

“Dear children, apostles of my love, it is up to you to spread the love of my Son to all those who have not come to know it; you, the little lights of the world, whom I am teaching with motherly love to shine clearly with full brilliance. Prayer will help you, because prayer saves you, prayer saves the world. Therefore, my children, pray with words, feelings, merciful love and sacrifice. My Son has shown you the way—He who became incarnate and made of me the first chalice, with His exalted sacrifice He has shown you how you need to love. Therefore, my children, do not be afraid to speak the truth. Do not be afraid to change yourself and the world by spreading love, by doing everything for my Son to be known and loved by loving others in Him. As a mother I am always with you. I am imploring of my Son to help you for love to reign in your life—love that lives, love that draws, love which gives life. I am teaching you such love—pure love. It is up to you, my apostles, to recognize it, live it and spread it. Pray with feeling for your shepherds so that they can witness my Son with love. Thank you.”

You do not become apostles overnight, nor by just self appointing yourself. You are accepted when you comply with Our Lady’s messages and through the cognition that is greatly gained by walking the path She has told of and shown. It may take years. You will know when She accepts you. It is a difficult road and many do not make it. But you will know when you are an apostle of the Queen. It then will be up to you to change the whole Church and world.

The Last Stand of the Virgin Mary Will be Upon the Head of the serpent…

With Love,

    The Last Stand is a great story which Our Lady allowed it to be exposed through different apparitions. We must pray for the world, clergy conversion of sinners, souls in Purgatory and Our lady.s request of the children at Fatima July 13, 1917 pray for the conversion of sinners.

    I thank you Mary for delivering this message to me and I aim to spread love and light. Thank you Lord for healing me and I thank you for healing Cian from autism. Please Holy Spirit fill me with hope and faith and patience as I wait to see Cians healing manifest in the world. I know by Jesus stripes cian is healed. Please help me keep that belief and faith as I await to see his autism symptoms disappear in Jesus name Amen 🙏🏻

  3. I wonder am I worthy to do this. Time will tell if Mary accepts me and wants me as her apostle. I believe she is asking me, and has been for many years – there is no other reason I can think of why I have been given small bits of information that have slowly been put together in my head like a jigsaw puzzle. I will need to question every piece of advice given me that pops into my head and ask if this is true. However, I should remember to not over complicate things as we tend to do with the more knowledge we get. What is true love, pure love? I do not yet know but when I find out, this is probably when I will know I am accepted as an apostle. I will pray that pride is totally foresaken from me. Indeed this is very interesting and exciting times if what is coming as have learned from many sources, will indeed come to fruition. True Peace is coming but will only happen with the intervention from Jesus in our hearts, instantly changing those who will choose to be saved.

  5. I feel a Friend of Medjugorje’s ability to extract on a deep level the deeper meaning for Mary’s continued coming and Her purpose for us is pertinent and insightful. Her purpose for us involves a unwavering commitment and a responsibility to ultimately spread Her main message of LOVE towards humanity. Our world is crying out for that now. A Friend of Medjugorje has articulated this commitment in his writings as evidenced by his thoughtful epistle.

  6. With all the feelings of love and the Holy Spirit within me, all I can say is Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, to Our Blessed Mother Mary and all the wonderful friends and apostles of Medjugorje who work diligently to bring Mary’s words to the world. Thank You to my mother for instilling in me a love and fervent belief in Mary, and to my Angels who have stood by my side throughout my life. It hasn’t been easy. I learned to offer all my physical and mental incapacities to God the Father with happiness and thankfulness instead of the “why me” attitude. Thank You so much Mother Mary for everything you have shown and taught us, for Your Love, Grace, Protection, and the all-important Road to Eternal Salvation.

    “Medjugorje The last Stand” is so important, so clear, so urgent that I immediately translated it into Spanish to share with my Prayer Group and family. (web translation is terrible) I will continue sharing, though many resistance to Medjugorje because it is not approved…. I unite in prayer with the Community so this writing reaches as many souls as possible.

  8. Our blessed Mother the cause for my joy!!!! After almost dying twice a couple years ago in my disease of alcoholism I cannot describe fully here in words how Our mother has touched my life and made me Her lil’ apostle, the tiniest of jewels in Her little crown. Ah, too many miracles here including your writings. as Jesus teaches us to overcome so we can too. The graces are amazing and sharing the messages now, I have started a prayer group, help those suffering alcoholics to stay sober, assist at Mass, help a blind sister, help in those little acts of love which mother calls us to do. And finally after first hearing about Medjugorje and so many rosaries, I am going to Medjugorje!!!! My husband first went in 1990 when we were dating and we have shared Medjugorje w/many couples who were having trouble conceiving children. Eleven pairs of Rosary beads given and many miracles of children. When you have God in your life and His Mother, life has meaning. Keep praying you are loved. Lisa

  9. I have been a Caritas Community member for 19 years. Through the years, in following a Friend of Medjugorje and his insights into Our Lady’s messages, I have felt the seriousness of the responsibility we have in being called by Our Lady. After this writing, I am both ecstatic and scared, both excited and nervous, both proud to be called and humbled at the thought. We are called by Jesus’ Mother to be “Her apostles.” As a Friend of Medjugorje always says, “did we catch that?” The years of crosses we’ve been carrying, the purification and refining of our souls, the difficulties we’ve undergone are for this moment. I think we will never understand the magnitude of this call because we cannot comprehend that we, sinners, can be Apostles of Our Lady. But this writing, being released during Holy Week, should remind us of all that Jesus’ Apostles went through this week… and all of their failures too… yet Christ chose them despite their weaknesses. It is both a heavy commitment and a release to give the One who gave the first “FIAT,” my fiat. Following Her footsteps, in the footsteps of a Friend of Medjugorje who sees it so clearly – I accept the call. I am Hers – forever.

  10. Robert Greenhalgh

    Clarity and direct activity communicated. Strength required with purity of purpose to deliver the request made by the Mother of God. The time is now for everyone who loves God to pick up their cross and follow him as he has did for us. Holy Mother of God, pray for us that we can be made worthy of the promises of Christ. St. Kolbe, give us your strength. Holy Spirit guide our path with your wisdom. Sacred Heart watch over us. St Michael be our protector. amen.
