Today is Wednesday, November 25, 2020, and this is Radio WAVE.

This is Radio WAVE with your host, a Friend of Medjugorje.

 

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

We’re going to start with, about a novena that we do every year for the last several years. It’s my favorite novena. If you do it, and you participate in it, you’ll comprehend the deepness of how much Christmas you can have. I wrote this several years ago. We didn’t script it. It was just a freelance meditation.

 

I recommend strongly for you to order this, because we don’t prepare for Christmas in the right way, and Our Lady’s message today, on the 25^th, through Marija, is about preparation for Christmas and making our heart ready. How can you do anything better than do a nine-day novena right up to Christmas day?

 

We’re going to play the fifth day just to give you a sample of what you’ll hear. Your Christmas will be different through this novena. So, we play this so you can have a taste of what it is like.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Several years ago, I was working with ABC 20/20 in New York, and Ed Koch, the mayor at that time, gathered up 2,500 street people. He fed them. He clothed them, put them in an apartment, gave them a year of job training. After that, he put them in civil jobs, garbage trucks, on the parks, different things in the city.

 

Within one year, every single one of the 2,500 people were back on the streets.

 

I went from New York to Medjugorje, and I was talking to Marija and telling her this story, about how lazy and sorry people can be. And I was telling this story, and I said, “This is wrong.” And she says, “No.” And she put her finger on her temple and said, “This is poverty of mind.”

 

And I was stunned because what I saw, rottenness in man, she saw the Jesus in the man. And when she explained that, I never thought of that before. The people were crippled mentally, from their family life, the way they were raised. But that every man has a soul, and Our Lady has taught us, the Scriptures teach us, the saints tell us, that we are to see Jesus in every person.

 

And if every person on earth has a soul in them, this is of God, and that’s a part of God that’s in them. So, we always are to see Jesus in the person, in that individual, no matter how vile, no matter how bad, no matter how good, or what we think of them. And this is love.

 

Years in the beginning of the first year of Medjugorje, Marija asked Our Lady about reading the books The Poem of the Man-God. Our Lady said, “They must be read.” There’s people say you can’t read them. The Church has said you can. But in that, Jesus tells us many things.

 

One thing Our Lady’s doing for us right now is creating an efficient group of people that are formed, that not only will say She exists and Jesus exists, but they will give the features of an essential teaching of how and what it is She’s saying.

 

Jesus says in The Poem of the Man-God,

 

“First of all, I tell you that it is absolutely necessary for you to love one another and be united…”

 

This group of people Our Lady’s raising up, the apostles, have to love each other, have to be totally united.

He goes on and says,

 

“…Who are you? Men of every social condition, of different ages, and from everywhere…”

 

He says something profound at that moment:

 

“…I prefer to choose those who are not indoctrinated because I will more easily instill within them My doctrine.”

 

Amazing. This is the problem today. We’re indoctrinated. Our whole views of our holy days, our holidays, whatever it may be, our work, the schools. There’s an indoctrination taking place. We don’t understand circumstances about 2,500 people on the streets getting a job and going back on the streets, other than explaining they’re lazy. What’s their background? What kind of warzone were they raised in in their family? Were they ever given a work ethic?

 

I’m not excusing their laziness. I still don’t do that. But one thing I see is that we have to find out, through love, the reasons things are the way they are. And you won’t discover that without that. Our Lady said,

 

December 19, 1985

 

“…The more you will to love your neighbor, the more you shall experience Jesus especially on Christmas…”

 

An amazing statement. Love is the fabric for everything. Without it, you can achieve nothing, Our Lady says. With love, you’ll achieve everything. We’re commissioned. We’re part of a formed group, by Our Lady, that is to explain the essential features of Our Lady’s doctrine of really Who Jesus is in this modern time.

 

If you follow Our Lady, you’ll understand, with all the theology and all the things that assail us—and I say that in a way that it makes us think the wrong way—that Our Lady wants us to think the simple way. And all we have to do is love to achieve that.

 

In The Poem of the Man-God, it says how powerful a family can be. And Christmas is about family, the first Holy Family 2000 years ago. Jesus says,

 

“You are like one family. When does a family thrive and when does the world admire it? When its members are united and of the same mind. If one son becomes the enemy of another, if one brother harms another, is it possible for the posterity of that family to last long? No.

 

In vain the father of the family strives to work to smooth down difficulties, to impose himself on the world, and his efforts are not successful because the wealth of the family falls to pieces. Their difficulties increase, the world laughs at their perpetual quarrels by which their hearts and possessions fall apart, which, if were united, were powerful against the world.

 

Instead, they are broken into small knots of tiny, opposite interests, and enemies of the family take more and more advantage of them to hasten their ruin. You must never be like that. Be united. Love one another. You must love one another to help one another.”

 

Our Lady’s plans are to teach us this. And yet, we have a discontentment today. There are some people that live in a constant state of discontentment. Never can they be pleased, never satisfied, and when something can be as good as it can be, a constant discontented person will find the smallest flaw to make the good into a bad.

 

We must love first in the family. Our Lady said,

 

June 6, 1985

 

“…during these days people from all nations will be coming into [this] parish. And now I am calling you to love: love first [all of] your own household members, and then you will be able to accept and love all who are coming…”

 

Love achieves everything. Love achieves what’s most impossible. And if Christmas is about anything, it’s about love. You must decide for love, and you must have the will to love your neighbor to experience the real Christmas.

 

If you do not do that, you cheat yourself, you cheat your family, and your path is one of ruin with the culture and the way it’s going.

So, the family that loves conquers the world, and love leads to glory. We, as a family, are to be a song of love. We are to sing love. This Christmas, love.

 

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

[SONG]

 

Windshields kissed with snow on this endless interstate. Over the fields we go laughing all the way. We sing love, love, love it’s glorious.

 

Friends and family near, no more judgments, no more fear. All is calm, all is bright. Everyone will hold this light and sing love, love, love it’s glorious.

 

Sleep in heavenly, in heavenly, sleep in heavenly, in heavenly, believe in heavenly, in heavenly peace.

 

I have heard the angels sweetly singing o’er the plain. And I’ve heard the mountains echoing their sweet refrain. They sing love, love, love, love, love, love it’s glorious. Love, love, love, it’s glorious. Love, love, love it’s glorious.

 

Sleep in heavenly, in heavenly, sleep in heavenly, in heavenly, believe in heavenly, in heavenly peace.

 

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

And, of course, that’s the meditation from the beginning of the fifth day, and from there, you go into a rosary. You’ll be invested about 45 minutes a night for nine days before Christmas. And it’s an investment. Something comes from that. Something can change in your family.

 

Of course, this song was about love, and that’s what Christmas is about. We’re in a time of love, warmth, prayer and joy. Why do we have that in the winter, having a fireplace, all those things, the coziness to that, and the ability to have remembrances of Jesus?

 

So, what is it Our Lady told us today? A message for the world. We’re headed for a year from now, for the last month, December 25^th, of the fortieth year. What will the world look like? What’s going to happen? Do you think you can’t invest into this novena? You call Caritas. You order this, and you do this with your family. The times are too serious not to do that.

 

So, let’s hear what Our Lady said today for the whole world, and at the same time, for you as an individual.

 

[COCI]

 

Our Lady Queen of Peace of Medjugorje’s November 25, 2020 monthly message to the world:

 

“Dear children! This is a time of love, warmth, prayer and joy. Pray, little children, for little Jesus to be born in your hearts. Open your hearts to Jesus Who gives Himself to each of you. God sent me to be joy and hope in this time, and I am saying to you: Without little Jesus you do not have the tenderness or the feeling of Heaven which is hidden in the Newborn. Therefore, little children, work on yourselves. By reading the Sacred Scripture you will discover Jesus’ birth and joy, as in the first days which Medjugorje gave to mankind. History will be truth which, also today, is being repeated in you and around you. Work on and build peace through the Sacrament of Confession. Reconcile with God, little children, and you will see miracles around you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

 

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

Our Lady didn’t say, “You maybe see miracles around you.” She said,

 

“…you will see miracles around you…”

 

Our Lady’s telling us something, because, preceding that, She said,

 

“…Work on and build peace…”

 

And She tells us how to do that. She says,

 

“…through the Sacrament of Confession…”

 

That makes everything new. The problem we have is people don’t believe when they sin. You can do anything, and you can be forgiven for anything except the sin against the Holy Spirit, and that would be in the sense of, “Jesus can’t forgive me. His price on the Cross is not enough to forgive my sins.”

 

If you have that mentality, you’re belittling what Jesus did on His Death on the Cross. There’s nothing that cannot be forgiven if you seek that. And that’s the difference of those who go to Confession for their sins. They’re emptying into the construction of building peace.

 

So, the world is being called right now to reconcile with God. Our Lady’s asking for us to be converted. And once you’re converted through Our Lady, there can be no night so dark that you can’t get through it. And I can tell you, most people who are converted, they can’t wake through the night without having Our Lady on their mind.

 

I do that. I think most of you would do that. Through the night, when you wake up, you maybe have your rosary in your hand. Or if you don’t, as an apostle of Our Lady, She’s on your mind through the night. I think it’s impossible not to be thinking about Her, and you have Her on your mind through the night.

 

[SONG]

 

Fear not this night.

You will not go astray.

Though shadows fall

still the stars find their way.

 

Awaken from a quiet sleep. Hear the whispering of the wind.

Awaken as the silence grows in a solitude of the night.

Darkness spreads through all the land and your weary eyes open silently.

Sunsets have forsaken all and must cover up their eyes now.

Nightmares come when shadows grow.

Ice glows and heartbeats slow.

 

Fear not this night.

You will not go astray.

Though shadows fall

still the stars find their way.

 

And you can always be strong. Lift your voice with the first light of dawn.

Dawn is just a heartbeat away. Hope’s just a sunrise away.

Distant songs of melody scoring through the night to your heart.

Auroras make circumstance in the solitude of our life.

Pleading silent arias gently grieving in captive misery.

Darkness sings a violent song, yet our hope can still rise up.

Nightmares come where shadows grow. Lift your voice. Lift your heart.

 

Fear not this night.

You will not go astray.

Though shadows fall

still the stars find a way.

 

And though the night skies fill with blackness.

Fear not risen, hold out and take my hand.

 

Fear not this night.

You will not go astray.

Though shadows fall

still the stars find a way.

Fear not this night.

You will not go astray.

 

Though shadows fall still the stars find a way.

And you can always be strong.

Lift your voice with the first light of dawn.

Dawn is just a heartbeat away…

Home’s just a sunrise away…

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

The Holy Virgin Mary came down from Heaven today and appeared exactly like Jesus did on the Transfiguration because He was in His human Body, and He was transfigured. Peter, James, and John saw Him on Mount Tabor. And Our Lady said in Medjugorje,

 

“You are on a Tabor…”

 

What is She saying in that? “I am here in My transfigured Body.” That’s why Marija says you can’t explain what She looked like. She comes in the light of the Sun. She’s beautiful, beyond anything that can be explained through language.

 

So, what does it mean to you when She says today, coming down from Heaven, and we’re in this moment, and people will be looking at this for decades, into the centuries of whatever the world has left. And She said these words today, in your time, in this moment, in your life. She says,

 

“…God sent me to be joy and hope in this time…”

 

You’re alive now. I am alive. What are we doing with this? Continuing life as it is when it’s changing right in front of us, passing away, falling apart? And you’re not changing those aspects of your life that doesn’t glorify God? You want to still hold onto those things? They’re going away, because She said only what’s left is what glorifies God.

So,

 

“…God sent me to be joy and hope in this time…I am saying to you…”

 

Then She pauses, and She says this:

 

“…Without little Jesus you do not have the tenderness or the feeling of Heaven which is hidden in the Newborn…”

 

What does that mean? What is Our Lady saying here? Why did She say, “…which is hidden in the Newborn…”? Why didn’t She say, “Which is hidden in the Baby Jesus”? I never thought about it, when my children were born, that there was a joy. I felt something. There was something so tender to it. And it’s because God Himself was born. And that’s why everyone’s always happy about a baby being born. There’s a joy there.

 

I never tied that to that until I saw that hidden in the newborn. It’s not just Jesus; it’s that Jesus came through the womb. And that supernatural joy, if you’re in prayer, and you love God, you’ll experience that. And I realized, it was the joy of Christmas at the birth of every one of my children. Profound.

 

But you don’t have “…tenderness or the feeling of Heaven which is hidden in the Newborn…” if you’re committing abortion. You don’t have the tenderness there. It’s hidden, and you can only have it if you’re walking with God.

 

There’s something beautiful about birth, and so many people have never found it because there are people out there who are abortion after abortion. That hardens their heart. They never discover or come to know that tenderness.

 

“…Without little Jesus you do not have the tenderness or the feeling of Heaven which is hidden in the Newborn…”

 

This is something profound. Are there other things profound in this message? There certainly is. I just love how Our Lady started this message today.

 

“…This is a time of love, warmth, prayer and joy. Pray, little children, for little Jesus to be born in your hearts…”

 

That’s what this nine days before Christmas is about. Can’t you invest into that? Because investment means you’re trying to propagate something that what you put into in investment, to get a return on it. I encourage you strongly to do this for your family, and you’ll know the tenderness of Jesus.

 

And yet, we see now, we’re in battle. We’re in war. Our Lady talked about that. The great struggle coming. You know about the message. The angels of light fighting the angels of the dark.

 

I was thinking earlier today, a saint is someone who goes through hell and not be affected by it. Because saint’s life is hell. They suffer. And we’re experiencing these things today. You have to go through the flames and fire that the Holy Family went through, the difficulties, getting up in the middle of the night, going to Egypt, all the sufferings. So, contemplate these things.

[SONG]

 

When love’s a battle, and life’s a war.

When I just can’t go on fighting anymore.

When I’m surrounded, and they’re closing in.

When I feel the bullets graze against my skin

This world’s a war zone, and I’ve got a shield.

And I won’t surrender ’cause your love feels,

 

Like an army of angels.

Like an army of angels.

Like an army of angels.

Like an army of angels.

 

Hey, hey

 

If hate is poison, then love’s the cure.

And it’s you that drives the demons from my door.

When they got me cornered, close to giving in, oh,

I feel you ‘round me like a second skin.

 

This world’s a war zone, and I’ve got a shield.

I won’t surrender ’cause your love feels,

 

Like an army of angels.

Like an army of angels.

Like an army of angels.

Like an army of angels, angels, angels, angels.

 

Through the flames and the fire, yeah, I will go.

‘Cause I know, yeah, I know that I’m not alone.

 

Through the flames and the fire, yeah, I will go.

‘Cause I know, yeah, I know that I’m not alone.

 

Oh, what a beautiful sight, woah.

A hundred thousand soldiers in the sky, woah.

I don’t need to worry tonight with you by my side, yeah.

 

Like an army of angels.

Like an army of angels.

Like an army of angels.

Like an army of angels, angels, angels.

 

(Like an army of angels) Through the flames and the fire, yeah, I will go.

(Like an army of angels) ‘Cause I know, yeah, I know that I’m not alone.

 

(Like an army of angels) Through the flames and the fire, yeah, I will go.

(Like an army of angels) ‘Cause I know, yeah, I know that I’m not alone.

 

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

How do you win? How do you fight? Our Lady said,

 

February 25, 1987

 

“…I beseech you, surrender…”

 

That’s the key. When you’re in battle, you don’t surrender to darkness. You surrender to light.

 

So, in this message I just quoted, Our Lady says,

 

“…I beseech you, surrender to the Lord your entire past, all the evil that has accumulated in your hearts…”

 

The world has piled it up onto us, everywhere we turned, through everything that’s taking place, all modernism, consumerism, everything that assails us throughout the day.

 

January 2, 1986

 

“…surrender yourselves completely and you shall be able to live everything I am telling you. It shall not be difficult for you to surrender yourselves completely to God…”

 

That’s Who we put the white flag toward, not to darkness. Many people today are surrendering to darkness, to the world, to all its ways, to their demise.

 

June 29, 1992

 

“…I want…”

 

And remember, Our Lady gets what She wants, except through our free wills if we don’t. But what She goes before God, She gets it.

 

“…I want to invite you to surrender completely to me…”

 

Let Her, Her time here of love, the warmth She brings to us, the prayer that She prompts in our hearts, equals joy. The song just said,

 

“If hate is poison, then love is the cure.”

 

And that’s Who descended down today. She gave a message once that says, “Love descends down to you.” If you looked in the dictionary in Heaven that they have, and you look up love, it says, “The Queen of Peace.”

 

Our Lady said something really incredible today. She said,

 

“…By reading the Sacred Scripture you will discover Jesus’ birth and joy, as in the first days which Medjugorje gave to mankind…”

 

And what is incredible to me is the next sentence after saying that. She says,

 

“…History will be truth…”

 

Why is She saying that? Because history we’re learning and indoctrinated now, what you just heard on the meditation on the fifth day of the Christmas Novena, that we’re indoctrinated. The history we’re getting is false. It’s lying voices, and it’s strange the way Our Lady says that.

 

“…as in the first days which Medjugorje gave to mankind. History will be truth…”

 

She’s come here to reverse the revisionist who has changed history. People are hearing today, every day, about Corona and all kinds of things. They’ve been given bad information, which becomes history tomorrow, and they think they understand what happened in history. Next week, they’ll be thinking, “Oh, I remember in history.” It’s a lie. She’s here for history to be truth. And She adds to that,

 

“…which, also today, is being repeated in you and around you…”

 

What is She here for? To repeat the Birth of Jesus? No. She gave us a message, and She said, “Jesus is not coming back in a manger.” Is He coming back? Yes, a second time. And that’s what She’s here for, the Woman of Revelation 12. She’s preceded Jesus the first time, and history will show again, today, being repeated, that She is here for His Second Coming, and to prepare yourself, purify yourself through the Sacrament of Confession, and reconcile with God, “…and you will see miracles around you…”

 

Our Lady says, February 25, 1987, a message I’ve already quoted, but there’s another part of it that says,

 

“…today I want to wrap you all in my mantle…”

 

You mean Mary, that you want to put Your arms around me? Around You? Around us? Around the whole world? You’re going to save our lives because we’re drowning in this world today? We need hope. We need You to catch us. We’re falling.

 

So many people today are crippled. We have broken family, broken hearts who want to be loved but do not know how to accept it. People are scared to love because to love means you can lose love, and many people won’t allow themselves to love. Our Lady’s come for us to allow Her to put Her arms around us.

[SONG]

 

I never thought that You would be the one to hold my heart.

But you came around, and you knocked me off the ground from the start.

 

You put your arms around me, and

I believe that it’s easier for you to let me go.

You put your arms around me and I’m home.

 

How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around?

I can’t decide if I’ll let you save my life or if I’ll drown.

 

I hope that you see right through my walls.

I hope that you catch me, ’cause I’m already falling.

I’ll never let a love get so close.

You put your arms around me and I’m home.

 

[INSTRUMENTAL]

 

The world is coming down on me, and

I can’t find a reason to be loved.

I never wanna leave you,

but I can’t make you bleed if I’m alone.

 

You put your arms around me, and

I believe that it’s easier for you to let me go.

 

I hope that you see right through my walls.

I hope that you catch me, ’cause I’m already falling.

I’ll never let a love get so close.

You put your arms around me and I’m home.

 

I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth, and

I’ve never opened up.

I’ve never truly loved ’till you put your arms around me, and

I believe that it’s easier for you to let me go.

 

[INSTRUMENTAL]

 

I hope that you see right through my walls.

I hope that you catch me, ’cause I’m already falling.

I’ll never let a love get so close.

You put your arms around me and I’m home.

 

You put your arms around me and I’m home.

 

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

Our Lady told us today,

 

“…little children, for little Jesus to be born in your hearts…”

 

Who’s Jesus’ Father? God the Father. Did the angels call God the Father before that? He became a Father at the point when the Virgin Mary was upon the earth, and then the Holy Spirit conceived in Her. And God became a Father. And since that point, satan hates fatherhood because he hates God.

 

And fatherhood has been attacked more so in this time in history than ever. Yes, Eve went against the husband who would be a father. That’s why Hollywood demeans, belittles, is caustic to fatherhood, because, to be in that position is to be in the position of the authority of God, to guide your family, to navigate them, through their whole life.

 

[SONG]

 

Oh, before they turn off all the lights,

I won’t read you your wrongs or your rights.

The time has gone. I’ll tell you goodnight, close the door.

Tell you I love you once more.

The time has gone. So here it is.

 

I’m not your son, you’re not my father.

We’re just two grown men saying goodbye.

No need to forgive, no need to forget.

I know your mistakes and you know mine.

And while you’re sleeping, I’ll try to make you proud.

So daddy, won’t you just close your eyes?

Don’t be afraid. It’s my turn

to chase the monsters away.

 

Oh, well I’ll read a story to you.

Only difference is this one is true.

The time has gone.

I folded your clothes on the chair.

I hope you sleep well, don’t be scared.

The time has gone. So here it is.

 

I’m not your son, you’re not my father.

We’re just two grown men saying goodbye.

No need to forgive, no need to forget.

I know your mistakes and you know mine.

And while you’re sleeping, I’ll try to make you proud.

So daddy, won’t you just close your eyes?

Don’t be afraid. It’s my turn

to chase the monsters away.

 

Sleep a lifetime. Yes, and breathe a last word.

You can feel my hand on your own.

I will be the last one, so I’ll leave a light on.

Let there be no darkness in your heart.

 

I’m not your son, you’re not my father.

We’re just two grown men saying goodbye.

No need to forgive, no need to forget.

I know your mistakes and you know mine.

And while you’re sleeping, I’ll try to make you proud.

So daddy, won’t you just close your eyes?

Don’t be afraid. It’s my turn

to chase the monsters away.

 

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

So this Christmas, we’re supposed to have Jesus in our hearts and born, but we don’t need to forget of God the Father, that He gave His Son for us, for peace, for love, and for direction. Invest this Christmas, a novena in gratitude to God the Father and what He’s bestowed through the gifts of His Mother.

 

We wish you Our Lady. We love you. Good night.
