“No one can serve two masters. He will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life– what you shall eat or drink– or about your body– what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

“Look at the birds in the sky. They do not sow or reap. They gather nothing into barns, yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? Can any of you, by worrying, add a single moment to your life span?

“Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wildflowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will He not much more provide for you, oh you of little faith?

“So do not worry and say, what are we to eat? Or what shall we drink? Or what are we to wear? All these things the pagans seek. Your Heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

“But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.”

This is Mejanomics with a Friend of Medjugorje

 

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

A big anniversary is coming up September 25^th. Have you forgotten about it? I haven’t. I was there with Marija. You know, some of you may know what I am talking about.

 

Marija was shocked. Marija said to me after the apparition that Our Lady has never said something like this.

 

I said, “What?”

 

She started putting her hands on her head. Our Lady said about your brain. Your mind.

 

September 25, 2023, a shocking message. Have you done something about it? Have you changed your ways?

 

And now we have a problem, a big problem. Our Lady identifies something and how many have changed their ways?

 

“Dear children, I am calling you to strong prayer…”

 

Not weak, strong prayer.

 

“…Modernism wants to enter into your thoughts…”

 

“…Modernism wants to enter into your thoughts…”

 

“…Modernism wants to enter into your thoughts and steal from your joy…”

 

Steal from your joy? How is that going to happen? Is Our Lady just saying something.

 

I want to get this into your head.

 

“…Modernism wants to enter into your thoughts and steal from you, the joy of prayer and a meeting with Jesus…”

 

That means something is not giving you the time, even in your prayer, it distracts you.

 

“…that is why, my dear little children, renew prayer in your families so that my motherly heart maybe joyful as in the first days…”

 

And then She says something that is amazing.

 

“…may be joyful in the first days when I had chosen you and day and night, prayer resounded and Heaven was not silent…”

 

In 1981, cell phones did not exist. From the earth, and it started June 24, 1981, it grew day by day, month by month, year by year.

 

satan wanted to stop that. He came up with the little god, and you know what I’m talking about, the cell phones.

 

“…and day and night prayer resounded and Heaven was not silent…”

 

It’s incredible. The pipeline from Medjugorje and then it spread from other countries.

 

“…and Heaven was not silent but abundantly bestowed peace and blessing on this place of grace. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

 

So now we see the veil that satan has covered what Our Lady was exposing a year ago, and now we can see more clear.

 

I didn’t need to have that. You heard me many times over the years of what I have been saying.

 

There is a class action lawsuit happening right now. The lawsuit is about TikTok. It states:

 

“If you or a loved one’s child chronically used social media such as TikTok and other things, it is damaging teenagers, kids and also, probably adults.

 

It causes many disorders. It is not just mild, but very severe. We are going to hear now what it has done and for those a year ago who didn’t make changes, that you didn’t take the message literally and now it’s grown.

 

This is something, what you are about to hear, you are going to have to listen to it two or three times. Here it is.

[NARRATOR]

So this is a list of ten different effects that social media has on mental health.

#1 Increased Risk for Depression

 

TikTok has a unique algorithm that may accelerate this phenomenon.

 

For vulnerable teenagers, this can lead to an increased risk of depression as they may encounter content that amplifies feelings of sadness, inadequacy, or hopelessness.

 

Further, excessive social media scrolling can become a coping mechanism for stress and loneliness, exacerbating depressive symptoms.

 

As teens continually consume content that showcases seemingly perfect lives, they may feel that their own lives do not measure up, leading to feelings of worthlessness and isolation.

 

#2 Signs of Anxiety

 

Anxiety is another prevalent mental health issue among teenagers, and social media can contribute to its development or escalation.

 

The pressure to create and share content, gain followers, or fit into popular trends can lead to performance anxiety.

 

The fear of missing out (FOMO) that constant updates induce can intensify feelings of restlessness and unease.

 

Teens may feel compelled to be constantly connected to the social media app, fearing that they might miss out on the latest trends or challenges.

 

This sense of urgency and constant comparison can create an environment of high stress and anxiety.

 

#3 Feelings of Loneliness

 

While social media is a platform built for connection, it can also foster feelings of loneliness and isolation among teenagers.

 

Watching the seemingly happy lives and social interactions of others may lead to a sense of exclusion or inadequacy in teens who feel left out or have difficulty making meaningful connections in their lives.

 

Moreover, excessive use of TikTok can decrease face-to-face interactions and reduce the quality of real-life relationships, further exacerbating feelings of loneliness and social isolation.

 

#4 Self-harm Tendencies

 

Social media’s unrestricted nature means some users may post self-harm or triggering content.

 

Exposure to such content can be highly detrimental for teenagers struggling with emotional issues and may trigger self-harm tendencies.

 

I want to repeat to you, “can be highly detrimental for teenagers struggling with emotional issues.”

 

This is particularly concerning as many young users turn to social media platforms like TikTok to escape real-world problems, only to find content that worsens their emotional state.

 

While most social media platforms have community guidelines, monitoring every piece of inappropriate content can be challenging, leaving room for harmful content to circulate.

 

Further, teens who engage with self-harm content may form communities where self-destructive behaviors are normalized, perpetuating the cycle of harm.

 

#5 Body and Appearance Issues

 

Social media platforms emphasize appearances, beauty standards, and body image, which can negatively impact teenagers’ self-esteem and body image perception.

 

Constant exposure to edited, posed, and filtered content may lead to unrealistic expectations, body dissatisfaction, and even the development of eating disorders.

 

Teenagers, and specifically teen girls, may be inclined to believe that their worth is tied solely to their physical appearance, leading to a preoccupation with looking perfect and seeking validation through likes and comments.

 

This preoccupation with appearance can negatively affect their self-confidence and overall mental well-being.

 

Beyond the general adverse effects of social media, chronic and excessive use of TikTok can exacerbate existing mental health conditions and give rise to new challenges for teenagers. Such as,

#6 Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

 

Excessive use of TikTok, with its rapid and constant stream of short videos, can contribute to attention difficulties in some teenagers, particularly those with underlying ADHD.

 

The platform’s addictive nature can make it challenging for TikTok creators and users to control the impulse to scroll endlessly, leading to difficulties in focusing on important tasks and responsibilities.

 

For teens with ADHD, TikTok’s constant sensory stimulation can worsen their symptoms and hinder their ability to concentrate on schoolwork or other essential activities.

 

#7 Next, the Development of Eating Disorders

 

For susceptible teenagers this may lead to the development or reinforcement of eating disorders as they strive to attain unrealistic and often unhealthy body ideals promoted on the platform.

 

The prevalence of “thinspiration” content and the normalization of extreme dieting behaviors can push vulnerable teens and young girls into dangerous habits in pursuit of an unattainable body image.

 

#8 Next, there are Psychological Tics

 

While psychological tics may resemble those seen in neurological disorders like Tourette syndrome, they are distinct in origin, arising from psychological stress, anxiety, or emotional disturbances.

 

#9 Then we have worsening of Depression or Anxiety

 

For teenagers who grapple with depression or anxiety, excessive TikTok use can exacerbate their symptoms.

 

Spending hours scrolling through curated content can create a sense of detachment from reality and reduce face-to-face social interactions, further isolating individuals and worsening their mental health struggles.

 

Moreover, constant exposure to content that promotes negative thought patterns or unrealistic expectations can perpetuate feelings of hopelessness and inadequacy.

 

#10 The adverse effects of TikTok on teenagers’ mental health can lead to significant pain and suffering, impacting their overall well-being and quality of life. TikTok’s detrimental effects may result in a loss of enjoyment of daily activities and hobbies that your child previously enjoyed.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Everybody has to digest these words and Our Lady’s words. Our Lady has said in Her messages 126 times, “satan.”

 

She is the Woman battling satan through you.

 

Going back to September 25, 2023, She is talking about satan. Modernism is satan. How do we know that? Because it says, “modernism wants to enter into your thoughts.”

 

Who is that? She uses the word, “steal.” Who is the thief?

 

Just five days ago, Ivan in Medjugorje, quote, “Our Lady is very concerned about the situation in the world.”

 

You should listen to this more than once, even more than two.

 

Your children, your grandchildren, your students, young adults that you know and your neighbors.

 

Our Lady has said in the past the youth are in a difficult situation.

 

People are hungry. They want answers. They want to know the road to walk on and the world doesn’t let you do that.

 

Just in the last couple of months, we have almost ten more thousand people signed up to get the materials we give out each month. The postage is expensive. We depend on you and they depend on us to send them this material.

 

Caritas has grown so big that we barely can keep it going. We are under water and we need your help.

 

She has told us over and over, give me your hands. You are my hands. She has said that more than once.

 

You listen to anything on the radio, they are always asking for donations. I don’t like to say that. I don’t say that every broadcast. Just keep it in your heart to keep this ship floating in the water of the world.

 

We wish you Our Lady, we love you. Goodnight.
