[COC]

Broadcasting from Caritas of Birmingham in Alabama, across the whole world, a Friend of Medjugorje tonight is going to share with you Our Lady’s message.

 

Those of you who are schooled in what a Friend of Medjugorje speaks about on these broadcasts, you’re different.

 

When you hear what a Friend of Medjugorje talks about, and you are schooled in his understanding of the message, it makes you set apart as being different from other people out there.

 

You know that his view of Our Lady is from his personal experience with Her. There is many, many more things that can be told and that will be told in the future about his walk with Our Lady. Some of these things will probably not even be revealed till after he dies. But you have the confidence in knowing what following his discernment, following his understanding of the messages, the fruit that it has brought to your lives.

 

And so, tonight, as a Friend of Medjugorje opens this message up for us, one more opportunity for you to grow and for you to become a witness following behind what Our Lady has shown him.

 

And so, here is a Friend of Medjugorje.

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

We have now arrived at Thanksgiving, a beautiful time preceding Christmas, and the gift we get for this week, we still have Our Lady giving us messages and guidance.

 

Our Lady gave a beautiful message today. And as we are in expectation of the beautiful time of Christmas.

 

Our Lady gave these words.

 

[COC]

Our Lady of Medjugorje’s November 25, 2024 monthly message to the world:

 

“Dear children! In this time of the grace of expectation, I desire to call you to prayer for Advent to be prayer of the family. In a special way, little children whom I tenderly embrace, I encourage you to prayer for peace in the world; for peace to prevail over peacelessness and hatred. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

It’s always interesting where Our Lady says, in Her words, where She puts them in the message. She said, “this time.”

 

“…In this time of the grace…”

 

Of you know what it is, coming into Thanksgiving, Christmas, how beautiful of the time it is. And many people waste their time. They’re so busy they’re not praying.

 

I wrote years ago, Nine Days Before Christmas. Each night, you pray with it. You pray, and it begins a topic for each night. I’m going to play the second night, which tells us everything at this time.

[MOM]

So, Jacqueline…

 

[JACQUELINE]

Yes mom…

 

[MOM]

I wanted to talk to you about something, and…[PHONE BUZZES] Oh, wait. Hold on. I just got a text. [PHONE BUZZES] Oh, there’s another one. Wow. Busy, busy me. So, anyway…

 

[JACQUELINE]

[PHONE PINGS] Oh, wait mom. I just got a message. [PHONE PINGS] My friends keep commenting on my comment. [PHONE PINGS] Oh, there’s another one. So many comments on my comment.

 

[TV TURNS ON]

[DAD]

Oh, I can’t wait to watch TV tonight. Playoffs!

 

[SON]

Hey guys, check out my new video game!

 

[FAMILY TOGETHER]

Wait…Mom…What?…What?…Hold on…What did you say?…Wait a second…Mom?…

 

[NARRATOR]

This weekend…

 

Unplug.

 

Take your family to the forest. There’s nothing in the world like experiencing nature firsthand, trees, paths, bluebirds, streams. Getting closer to nature can get you closer to your family.

 

To find the forest nearest you, go to discovertheforest.org.

 

Brought to you by the U.S. Forest Service.

 

[END CLIP]

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Our Lady has given many messages to go into nature, and God can talk to you.

 

What you just heard, the electronics and what happens, there is no time for God, for Our Lady, for Jesus.

 

We are in a time that we cannot waste one minute.

 

The two words Our Lady said, “…this time of grace…”

 

Tonight, we launch on Radio WAVE, our Christmas songs, and they say many things. Music affects the heart.

 

People are scattered across the country. Not everybody to come together to be with their family. Our Lady’s word said, “…to be prayer of the family…”

 

The songs that we play for Christmas is not Jingle Bells, those kinds of songs, and people and families not being together.

 

So, tonight, we’re going to give you a few songs that’s going to continue well after Christmas.

 

Christmas should be celebrated for a month. We don’t throw Jesus out of the crib.

 

Materialism starts taking things right after Christmas for Spring. You have to fight that.

 

So, this Christmas, you keep listening to Radio WAVE. It goes 24 hours a day through the official end of Christmas. We’re going to play several of the songs. This is 2000 Miles.

 

[SONG]

He’s gone, 2,000 miles.

It’s very far.

The snow is falling down,

Gets colder day by day.

I miss you.

The children will sing,

“He’ll be back at Christmas time.”

And leaves frozen in silent night,

Sometimes, in the tree, you appear.

Outside, under the purple sky,

Diamonds in the snow, sparkle.

Our hearts were all singing,

It felt like Christmas time.

Two thousand miles is very far through the snow.

I think of you, wherever you go.

 

[INSTRUMENTAL]

 

He’s gone, 2,000 miles.

It’s very far.

The snow is falling down,

Gets colder day by day.

I miss you.

I hear people singing.

It must be Christmas time.

I can hear people singing.

It must be Christmas time.

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Are you going to have Christmas? Are you going to be so busy that you miss Christmas?

 

This Christmas, “…this time of grace…prayer of the family…” Our Lady’s asking to enter into Christmas, “…In a special way…” She said, “…little children whom I tenderly embrace [you]…”

 

Our Lady’s not just saying that. She can do that. But you have to be ready. You have to be part of it. And that’s what these songs are about.

 

[SONG]

Where are you Christmas?

Why can’t I find you?

Why have you gone away?

Where is the laughter you used to bring me?

Why can’t I hear music play?

My world is changing

I’m rearranging

Does that mean Christmas changes too?

Where are you Christmas?

Do you remember the one you used to know?

I’m not the same one

See what the time’s done

Is that why you have let me go? Oh,

Christmas is here, everywhere, oh

Christmas is here if you care, oh

If there is love in your heart and your mind

You will feel like Christmas all the time

I feel you, Christmas

I know I’ve found you

You never fade away, oh

The joy of Christmas stays here in silence

Fills each and every heart with love

Where are you Christmas?

Fill your heart with love

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Are you going to have Christmas? Are you going to be so busy that you miss Christmas?

 

This Christmas, “…this time of grace…prayer of the family…” Our Lady’s asking to enter into Christmas in a special way. “…In a special way…” She said, “…little children whom I tenderly embrace…” Our Lady’s not just saying that. She can do that. But you have to be ready, and that’s what these songs are about.

 

Our Lady’s message today is talking about a special way. This is the time.

 

Just like the commercial you heard about, all the cell phones, go to nature. God’s creation. Don’t miss this Christmas. It’s a special time in the history of the Christendom.

 

[SONG]

Oh, hey.

In these moments, moments of our lives,

All the world is lost, and this world is so right.

You and I, sharing these time together

Sharing the same dream,

As time goes by,

We will find,

 

These are the special times, times we’ll remember.

These are the precious times,

The tender times,

We’ll hold in our hearts forever.

These are the sweetest times,

These times together,

And through it all, one thing will always be true:

The special times are the times I shared with you.

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

With each moment, moment passing by,

We’ll make memories that will last all our lives

‘Cause you and I travel through time together

Living this sweet dream,

And every day, we can say,

 

These are the special times, (these are the special times)

Times we’ll remember (times we’ll remember)

These are the precious times,

The tender times (the tender, tender times)

We’ll hold in our hearts forever.

These are the sweetest times (hold in our hearts forever)

These times together,

And through it all, one thing will always be true:

The special times are the times I shared with you.

 

These tender moments when Heaven is so close,

These are the moments that I know,

 

These are the special times, (these are the special times)

Times we’ll remember

These are the precious times (the precious times)

The tender times (the tender times)

We’ll hold in our hearts forever

These are the sweetest times

These times together (forever)

And through it all, one thing will always be true:

The special times are the times I shared…

The special times (oh, the times we shared)

The special times are the times I shared with you

 

Special times I shared with you

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Alabama is a special place.

 

Our Lady has had 213 apparitions, consecrated, with the family, with the nation, with many messages.

 

Our Lady’s first apparition was back in 1988 in November. We had Christmas. Our Lady had Baby Jesus in an apparition in the loft of our house. That’s not vapor. That’s spiritual history!

 

Since that time, 1988, Alabama, out of fifty states, the PEW surveys says Alabama is the most religious state in the United States.

 

[SONG]

[MUSIC PLAYS]

By now in New York City,

There’s snow on the ground.

And out in California,

The sunshine’s falling down.

And maybe down in Memphis,

Graceland’s all in lights.

And in Atlanta, Georgia,

There’s peace on earth tonight.

 

Christmas in Dixie,

It’s snowing in the pines.

Merry Christmas from Dixie,

To everyone tonight.

 

[MUSIC PLAYS]

 

It’s windy in Chicago,

The kids are out of school.

There’s magic in Motown.

The city’s on the move.

In Jackson, Mississippi,

To Charlotte, Caroline,

And all across the nation,

It’s a peaceful Christmas time.

 

Christmas in Dixie,

It’s snowing in the pines.

Merry Christmas from Dixie,

To everyone tonight.

 

And from Fort Payne, Alabama,

Merry Christmas tonight.

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

If you lost a family member, your child, your husband, wife…

 

This next song for those who have lost a loved one.

 

Actually, the woman who sung this song, a little after that, after she recorded this song, she got cancer. She didn’t have it when she sang the song. Two years later, she died from this.

 

This song, while it’s not about Christmas, it’s one to have in remembrance of those loved ones.

 

[SONG]

A bright sunrise will contradict

The heavy fall that weighs you down

In spite of all the funeral songs

The birds will make their joyful sounds

You’ll wonder why the earth still moves

You’ll wonder how you’ll carry on

But you’ll be okay

On that first day

When I’m gone

Dusk will come with fireflies

And whippoorwill and crickets call

And every star will take its place

And silvery gown and purple shawl

You’ll lie down in our big bed

Dread the dark and dread the dawn

But you’ll be alright

On that first night

When I’m gone

You will reach for me in vain

You’ll be whispering my name

As if sorrow were your friend

And this world so alien

But life will call with daffodils

And morning glorious blue skies

You’ll think of me, some memory

And softly smile to your surprise

And even though you love me still

You will know where you belong

Just give it time

We’ll both be fine

When I’m gone

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

These songs are samples of what you’re going to hear for the whole next month. Beautiful, songs with meanings that touch your heart, bring you joy and tears and reflection.

 

Our Lady said one time in a message, “I want to teach you how to cry.” It’s a gift.

 

[SONG]

I pray you’ll be our eyes

And watch us where we go

And help us to be wise

In times when we don’t know

Let this be our prayer

When we lose our way

Lead us to a place

Guide us with your grace

To a place where we’ll be safe

La luce che tu dai

(I pray we’ll find your light)

Nel cuore resterà

(And hold it in our hearts)

A ricordarci che

(When stars go out each night)

L’eterna stella sei

(Whoa)

Nella mia preghiera

(Let this be our prayer)

Quanta fede c’è

(When shadows fill our day)

Lead us to a place

(Guide us with your grace)

Give us faith so we’ll be safe

Sogniamo un mondo senza più violenza

Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza

Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino

Simbolo di pace, di fraternità

La forza che ci dà

(We ask that life be kind)

È il desiderio che

(And watch us from above)

Ognuno trovi amor

(We hope each soul will find)

Intorno e dentro sé

(Another soul to love)

Let this be our prayer

Let this be our prayer

Just like every child

Just like every child

Need to find a place

Guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we’ll be safe

È la fede che

Hai acceso in noi

Sento che ci salver

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

These songs that we’re playing for the next month, you’ll be hearing these songs to keep Christmas alive and your loved ones that are in Heaven, or who may be sick now, that will be passing during this period of time…

 

Music moves the heart and gives you time to reflect. Reflections of life and where we’re going in the future after we die.

 

[SONG]

She held him close, then she kissed his face. He said, “It just has to be this way. Yours is the heart I’ll always keep. I’m not gone even if I leave.”

 

If you love me, don’t you be afraid

To look in my eyes and open up the gate

Then watch me ride beneath the newborn sun

Just like them horses when it’s time to run

 

He said mountain is calling me. Gonna take a walk where I can see. Turn and face that western wind, oh and I will be home again.

 

If you love me, don’t you be afraid

To look in my eyes and open up the gate

Then watch me ride beneath the newborn sun

Just like them horses when it’s time to run

 

Oh, just like them horses

 

She held his hand. He took one last breath. Then she walked out to the front porch step, stared at the sky, tears on her face. And she swore she could hear him say,

 

If you love me, don’t you be afraid

To look in my eyes and open up the gate

Then watch me ride beneath the newborn sun

Just like them horses when it’s time to run

 

Just like them horses

When it’s time to run

When it’s time to run

When it’s time to run

Now, it’s time to run

Just like them horses

Just like them horses

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

We love here at Caritas, we split our wood. We have wood stoves and fireplaces. And it’s such a joy. It’s a gift to contemplate about Joseph and Mary. You can contemplate…Just look at the fire. If you’ve got a fireplace, or just making a fireplace outside. This is a gift.

 

[SONG]

Winter snow is falling down

Children laughing all around

Lights are turning on

Like a fairy tale come true

Sitting by the fire we made

You’re the answer when I prayed

I would find someone

And baby I found you

 

All I want is to hold you forever

And all I need is you more every day

You saved my heart

From being broken apart

You gave your love away

And I’m thankful every day

For the gift

 

Watching as you softly sleep

What I’d give if I could keep

Just this moment

If only time stood still

But the colors fade away

And the years will make us grey

But baby in my eyes

You’ll still be beautiful

 

And all I want is to hold you forever

All I need is you more every day

You saved my heart

From being broken apart

You gave your love away

And I’m thankful every day

For the gift

 

[MUSIC PLAYS]

La-da-da-da-da-da-da

 

[MUSIC PLAYS]

 

And all I want is to hold you forever

All I need is you more every day

You saved my heart

From being broken apart

You gave your love away

I can’t find the words to say

That I’m thankful every day

For the gift

With this message today, Our Lady wants you to enter into Christmas.

 

This Christmas music can move your heart in such a way for your soul to be closer to Our Lady and Jesus.

 

[SONG]

It’s coming on Christmas

They’re cuttin’ down trees

They’re putting up reindeer,

Singing songs of joy and peace

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But it don’t snow here

It stays pretty green

I’m gonna make a lot of money, and then I’m gonna quit this crazy scene

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long I

Teach my feet to fly

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

 

[MUSIC PLAYS]

 

They tried hard to help me, no it put me at ease

And he loved me so naughty, made me weak at the knees

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Well, I’m so hard to handle

I’m selfish and I’m sad

Now, I’ve gone and lost the best baby I ever had

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so long I would

Teach my feet to fly

Oh, I wish I had a river that I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

It’s comin’ on Christmas

They’re cuttin’ down trees

They’re putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

This last song was a miracle.

 

I was flying on an airplane, flying to L.A., and the plane had dropped below altitude, I suppose because of air traffic. And I was watching out the window, and I guess we’re going, like ten minutes below the mountains, and this song came on, And I couldn’t believe it. Our Lady does things and gives you things, puts things in your path.

 

I never heard this song before and never heard it after. I got my pen. I started writing the words. I said, “I’ve got to find this.” And I love this song. And you’ll get hooked on it. And I end of the songs we want to show you tonight.

 

[SONG]

Woke up to sun streaming in my room

One beach front palm December afternoon

You close your eyes, another year blows by

Somewhere in the wind of just another life

My parents sent a Christmas card and tennis shoes

“We understand you staying, and we’re proud of you.”

There’s a well-rehearsed disinterest in the atmosphere

Don’t know if that’s what this time gave me, or if it led me here

And I’ve played so many parts

I don’t know which one’s really me

Don’t know if I can take…

Another Christmas in L.A.

Another pitcher of Sangria in an empty beach café

Another Christmas in L.A.

I don’t know how long I can stay

Left a girl behind,

And sometimes I wonder where she ended up

Maybe she got married, had a couple of kids

Who do you think you’re fooling man?

Of course she did

I’m walking in Dan Tana’s Bar

I try and talk with Harry Dean

I don’t know if I can take

Another Christmas in L.A.

Another casting call on Thursday for a job that doesn’t pay

Another Christmas in L.A.

Another burn out in a tanktop

Who seems to bask in his decay

A fat protagonist in flip flops

With an extensive resume

From Echo Park to Catalina

Dreaming of a White Christmas

The one I used to know

Tree tops glisten, children listen

To sleigh bells in the snow

 

[MUSIC PLAYS]

 

Another Christmas in L.A.

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

I love that song, and you will too. Not just these songs. We will have 700 different songs for these last two months.

 

[COC]

Many of you know that a Friend of Medjugorje recently released the Radio WAVE app. This has been several years in the making just to make it simple and easy. You can download it on your phone or tablet, any kind of mobile device. If you’re in your house, at work, in the car. You can use Bluetooth to your speakers, any place, you can listen to Radio WAVE 24 hours a day.

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

I’m not selling you to be having cell phones. You know what I think about them. But this is like a Trojan horse, that you grow more holy and wake up more where the world is going.

 

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