[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Oh, people. You don’t know what you’re missing if you haven’t put the messages of Our Lady into life 100%.

 

Our Christmas yesterday was beautiful.

 

We led up with Marija to that date—yesterday—from Thanksgiving Day for five days, here. We went into the Dedication, December 8-12^th, with all the graces and prayers and the residue of the holiness, as Our Lady said once, “the odor of holiness,” still on the grounds in a special way.

 

And we went into Christmas, where what happened is what Our Lady said. She’s expressed to us that She wants Christmas to come alive. And I can say the days preceding Christmas for us, it was alive, and still is.

 

We saw beautiful scenes. We knew they were full of grace. We did Christmas in the Field. And we felt joy and sorrow. The sorrow was that so many people are missing Christmas.

 

I feel bad for people who don’t get to experience what we experience in the way of life.

 

But yet, we paid the price for this. We’ve sought it. We wanted it. We’ve carried the cross for it. And we get that sweetness that’s so beautiful.

 

Christmas Eve, we took Baby Jesus out of the manger. We put little Polly—newborn—in the manger. When she woke up, she stared at Joseph looking down on her, and she smiled. We all were moved deeply.

 

Then, she turned her face toward Mary—the statue of Mary—and she smiled again. And she went back and forth like this. And then she looked up at the top of the tent that covers the Nativity, and she’d smile so big that you’d see her gums. We knew she was looking at something.

 

And she went back over to Joseph. This lasted ten minutes. The most hardened person’s heart would have been softened by it. It wasn’t just natural. It wasn’t just an event. It was supernatural. We knew Our Lady was acting. We knew this baby, this child, was woken up to give us the gift of bringing the Nativity alive.

 

You’re cheating yourself if you’re only 90% there and putting the messages into your life. And what we have in our life here is a connection that’s seamless from Heaven to earth. And nothing else matters for us. There’s no one else we would rather work for than Our Lady and Her plans for the world today.

 

[COC]

Good evening, everyone, and thank you for joining us tonight’s broadcast of Radio WAVE.

 

Our hose is a Friend of Medjugorje, and yesterday, the whole community was together for Christmas Day, and no one had heard the 25^th message yet, and so, a Friend of Medjugorje had stopped everyone, and he shared with us the message and spoke to us about the message. And I could not help but think as I was listening to hear him speak, that this is the way it used to always be, these little informal gatherings that we used to have on the 25^th, and he would speak to us about the message, eventually became Radio WAVE.

 

And so, tonight, we’re going to share with you that encounter with a Friend of Medjugorje, and let you taste, a little bit, the Nativity of Radio WAVE.

 

If you had to take everything that Our Lady has done over the past 30 years here, if you had to take all of a Friend of Medjugorje’s experiences with Our Lady and sum them up or place them in an outline, it would be summed up in the message that Our Lady gave yesterday. And that’s what you will hear tonight as you hear a Friend of Medjugorje speak to us about the message.

 

[COC]

We had just gotten together to share our Christmas meal, which is a simple meal of chicken soup. A Friend of Medjugorje, when we began the Community, put this as a practice on Christmas, that we would live the poverty of the Holy Family, with just having a simple meal instead of a big feast, and in that way, we’ve come to enjoy this meal and the simplicity of Christmas touches us very much.

 

So, we were there sitting at the tables, just finishing our soup, and a Friend of Medjugorje greeted us with the message of Our Lady through these words.

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE – DECEMBER 25, 2016]

The message came in today, which is a very profound message. It’s very simple, but on the first read, it was something that I think we need to take a five-minute little pause and really think about it, because there’s some things in here that’s really prophetic in the fact of the path we’ve been on for years.

 

Our Lady, She warned us that evil wants to rule, and then She comes up several months later and said it has come to rule, basically. It wasn’t in those next words on the second phrase of what I just said, but it was saying, you can’t fight the evil, as an individual, and it came to power. And we knew this was about the presidency. We knew the evil, that he was released, and satan’s actions through people and the evil, through ISIS, the combination of many things.

 

But anyway, on December 25, 1999, Our Lady says,

 

“…This is the time of grace. Little children, today in a special way with little Jesus, whom I hold in my embrace, I am giving you the possibility to decide for peace. Through your ‘yes’ for peace and your decision for God, a new possibility for peace is opened…”

 

She didn’t say you’re going to get peace. She didn’t say evil, on that message, was coming, about to rule. What She said was, it’s about to happen. And this ’99 message, it didn’t say it was coming. She says,

 

“…your ‘yes’ for peace and your decision for God, a new possibility for peace is opened. Only in this way, little children, this century will be for you a time of peace and well-being…”

 

And of course, that was only six days or so before the millennium changed to 2000. And at that point, we thought peace was coming, or that new possibility, and here we are, in 2016, and it hasn’t happened. And in fact, things are degradaded.

 

“…Only in this way, little children, this century will be for you a time of peace and well-being. Therefore, put little newborn Jesus in the first place in your life and He will lead you on the way of salvation…”

 

And of course, we have sixteen years into this century—the new century—and we know that Our Lady first came to the visionaries, and what She did with the visionaries was She told them things about their formation, things about their life, things about what they were going to be doing in their life.

 

And from that point, She started speaking Thursday messages. That went to the parish, which would be the family. So, as the individual was formed first, and then the Thursday messages was formed for the families and for the parish, and then the third thing is for the world. That’s how I came up with the concept, through the messages, partly forming Reconciling Ourselves, Our Families, and Our Nation to God.

 

The visionaries were the first ones to be reconciled with Our Lady and Her plan. Then the parish was reconciled, and now the world grows into that, and it’s being reconciled.

 

So, it’s three principles there of reconciling ourselves, our families and our nation back to God, have to do with those things of the messages that reveal that to me through my walk and which we pass on, and which came up with the nine novenas to reconcile ourselves, our families and our nation back to God. So, it’s based on that formation of the visionaries, then the family, and then the world.

 

And so, Our Lady, at that point, has used this theme throughout everything we do. We just heard, a few weeks ago, November 2^nd, Our Lady says, “You live. You conquer. You expose evil.” That’s on the other side of evil wants to come to rule. That’s on the other side of December 25, ’99, that you have a possibility for peace.

 

And so, we’ve been in anticipation of this. Is this going happen? Is it going to come to be? And when is it going to be?

 

We know the election was a big thing. We know what we’ve been praying for was the reconciling of our nation, which represents the world too, because if our nation changes, so goes the United States, so goes the world.

 

And so, we have all these parallels happening with these messages, and many other things we can go into, but this message is a reason for reflection. If we don’t stop and read this message, we won’t even see what’s here.

 

But Our Lady gets on the other side. She’s on the other side about conquering, in the future, which is in Words from Heaven all the way back from 1991, that Our Lady’s coming here to teach us to conquer. But She hasn’t given us the marching orders.

 

That March (November) 2, 2016, “You live. You conquer. You expose,” was that. Everything else before that was, “I want you to be ready for that.” She’s never released us and said, “This is it. This is the moment.” This is six days before the election of Trump and everything that came about through that. And everybody knows there’s a new day. There’s something happening, something different. And the whole spirit of Washington, and the whole world, really, is affected by it. Everybody in Italy, everybody we went to, was asking us, what do we think about Trump? Everybody wanted to hear about that.

 

And so, in this message today, all this is paralleled, and it shows you the walk we’ve been on, the trail we’ve been on, is accurate, accurate to something that is stunning to us, if we think and if we reflect on who we are, what Our Lady’s called us to do, and the walk we’ve had and how we’ve led other people to do what we do.

 

January 1^st is always ominous. We know what happened in 2001. We know what happened just before 9/11. “Now when satan’s unchained…” And, of course, the only thing to defend ourselves is the consecration to Her Heart and the Heart of Jesus.

 

So, here it is, we’ve got January 1^st coming up, and we’ve got the 25^th message, which is usually a typical 25^th message, doesn’t reveal anything. It’s more of an encouragement of the whole previous year. Jesus is here. Jesus is blessing you. “I am your peace. Live My Commandments.” (December 25, 2012) So forth.

 

This message here, though, is different, because this time, Our Lady’s on the other flip side of this.

 

December 25, 2016—today’s message—Our Lady says,

 

“Dear children! [Behold]…”

 

That’s not what She says. She says,

 

“Dear children! With great joy…”

 

She didn’t say “with joy.” She didn’t say, “50% joy.” She said, “…With great joy…” The word, “great,” must get your attention, and that must define everything else coming from this.

 

So, that’s “behold,” January 25, 1987. It’s a trumpet broadcasting a proclamation. “What I’m about to tell you is something of great joy for you.” Will you hear it? Will you see it? Will you stop long enough? Will you reflect on it? Are you going to be in Christmas? Are you going back to your jobs? Are you going to go back to community? Will you see what’s in this message?

 

“Dear children! With great joy, today…”

 

“…behold…as of today…”

 

January 25, 1987.

 

December 25, 2016, today:

 

“Dear children! With great joy, today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for Him to give you His peace…”

 

Not pray for His peace, not the time of grace, not the new possibility for peace, but He’s going to give you this peace.

 

“…Open your hearts, little children, and be joyful that you can receive it…”

 

This isn’t something we’re in preparation for. This is something in receptive availability now. For the first time, it’s something new. All the way back from the new possibility, it roots…Immediately, I thought about December 25, 1999, immediately, when I read that, because all these sixteen years, is possibility, possibility, this, and “You’re threatened…” “Everything’s wrong going on…” “You’re being persecuted…”

 

“…Open your hearts, little children, and be joyful that you can receive it…”

 

The possibility is at hand. When? Today. And why does that cause great joy for Her? Because finally, what we’re praying the novena for, for January 1^st, is what? To release Our Lady. People might think, “How arrogant. You think you can release Our Lady?” I said this when I was talking to the group here for December’s event of Reconciling Ourselves, Our Families, and Our Nation Back to God, that you can do a novena of this. Because I’ve always felt Our Lady’s restrained. There’s a whole lot more of what She wants to do than what God would allow Her to do. That’s why She’s getting us to pray. That’s why She’s interceding for us. And She says, “I can’t do it without you.” She is handcuffed. Actually, I said that. Now, this makes more sense, even to me. Remember, I said Our Lady’s handcuffed, with Her hands behind the wall. You pray more, you release Her hands. Then, you pray more, She’s released, and She can get in the jail cell. She’s got space in that jail cell. You keep praying more, and that jail cell opens up, and then She’s free to act.

 

So…And now, my memory recalls that why I said that and made that statement, because Our Lady’s not free to do what She would like to do. She depends on us for Her freedom, because we’ve got the keys to unlock that, and our keys to unlock that is our prayer, is our fasting, is our sacrifice.

 

This community is the point to go to. This community is the place to look at. The individuals here are to look at themselves for conversion, and then the families—the Community—and then the world. Reconciling ourselves, our families, and our nation. This whole theme was dead on, more so now after Our Lady says what She says today than what I had heard before. It’s confirmation.

 

“…Open your hearts, little children, and be joyful that you can receive it. Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace…”

 

So, Our Lady gives this message, a little over a month ago, November 2^nd, “You live. You conquer. You expose evil.” She released us with this. We are released to fight. For the first time, we have been told to be proactive, not passive. Just like Our Lady gave the message in Italy about going out now and getting hearts. Before, it was passive. When we got that message in Italy on May 31^st of ’95, then we knew we could go out and be more aggressive.

 

So, Our Lady confirms this message of what happened back then in ’95. She confirms it now.

 

“…Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace in your hearts…”

 

Individual.

 

The first reconciling is the individual.

 

“…Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace in your hearts, in the families and in the world…”

 

One, two, three.

 

That’s what She said today. That confirms the path we’ve been on for over two decades. All the millions of prayers and all the novenas we led across the world to all the people, reconciling yourselves, your families and nation back to God. The visionaries, the parish family, the world. And today, “…fighting for peace in your hearts…” as an individual. I added the word, “individual.” “…in [your] families and in the world…”

 

“…and you, little children, help with your prayers for it to be so…”

 

That confirms it. She said He’s giving the peace. We’re coming into inauguration January 20^th. We’ve never had what’s happened. Nobody can explain how this election came about. Nobody can explain, as an individual, who’s a wild card in many ways, not the best Christian at all, and yet, God used him.

 

That is an answer to us that God’s acting for us on our behalf, because it’s an impossibility, and to this day, nobody can explain it and say how he got there. He didn’t get there by himself. He got there as a result of Our Lady’s actions.

 

And this is not an endorsement or getting into politics. This is showing and recognizing God’s movement. We can’t correct the things that’s afflicting us and the immorality of the laws without somebody coming at the top who reflects our sentiments. And we’ve got a mirror up there who is fed up with everything that’s happening.

 

“…in the families and in the world; and you, little children, help with your prayers for it to be so. I bless you with my Son Jesus and call you not to lose hope…”

 

People have more hope, and hope is growing right now.

 

“…and for your gaze and heart to always be directed towards Heaven and eternity. In this way, you will be open to God…”

 

And then Our Lady shows us that She’s not just saying something about nice or figures, but that She’s talking about the plan.

 

“…you will be open to God and to His plans. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

 

This is pre-inauguration. There’s no way…I’m not going to get into this and understand the depth of this and where we’ve been and what we’ve walked and what we’ve been through, how we’ve made it through over and over and over, Our Lady has saved us and has led us, that we’re coming into the triumph and a glorious time. It may not be a triumph like we think. Iwo Jima was not a triumph. It was a defeat, but it lead to the triumph. So, we don’t know how many “Iwo Jimas,” how many of those we’ve still got in front of us. But one thing we do have, one thing we do know, is the triumph’s part of it, and this message confirms all those things.

 

So, before I give you this message as we typically do, I wanted to reflect and give things like this to you that you ponder this. Don’t let this message pass without entering into it, because it’s our walk. It’s everything we’ve done. It confirms us, especially the fervency we’ve had for Christmas in the Field, the Dedications of December 8^th-12^th for The Reconciling of Ourselves, Our Families, and Our Nation Back to God, and for it happening to be released at the end of these novenas. And December 12^th was the last day of the novena for the feast day of Guadalupe, Our Lady of the Americas.

 

So, we can go on and on and on with this thing, but you have to dig into this message. Don’t just take this thing lightly.

 

[END FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE DECEMBER 25, 2016]

[COC]

So, again, to read the message of Our Lady from yesterday, December 25, 2016:

 

“Dear children! With great joy, today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for Him to give you His peace. Open your hearts, little children, and be joyful that you can receive it. Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace in your hearts, in the families and in the world; and you, little children, help with your prayers for it to be so. I bless you with my Son Jesus and call you not to lose hope; and for your gaze and heart to always be directed towards Heaven and eternity. In this way, you will be open to God and to His plans. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

 

Receiving this message yesterday after our founder, a Friend of Medjugorje, spoke with us, we all kind of went our separate ways for the rest of the afternoon. Some went up to the Cross. Some went to the Field. Some visited other houses in the Community.

 

But the words began to really saturate into us and the reflection of what Our Lady was really speaking to us was something that resonated very strongly, because within the words of Our Lady are such familiar words to us here. They’re part of our fabric. They’re part of what a Friend of Medjugorje has from the beginning spoken about. And to see, really, that Our Lady is bringing something about to a fullness, and just what a Friend of Medjugorje spoke about with the reconciliation of ourselves, our families and our nation back to God. That is something that was inspired here from the very beginning—a specific prayer of “pray, pray, pray” that Our Lady gave to pray for the reconciliation of ourselves, our families and our nation back to God so that we could have peace in ourselves, peace in our families and peace in the world.

 

And so, this was something that we know is grounded in our community, in our mission, and what so many of you have prayed for with us over these years, that Our Lady is saying, “Your prayers are being heard. Your prayers are brining Heaven to you, and your prayers are helping Heaven fight for peace.”

 

So, this is just one thing, but we ended our day, yesterday, with the last contemplation of the Nine Days Before Christmas Novena. This was day 10. We’ve been doing this novena for the last nine days leading up to Christmas. And this was entitled, A Century Depends on Your Family.

 

So, we are settling down in our homes. We’re letting these words come, and we’re all of a sudden hearing, in what a Friend of Medjugorje spoke two years ago, the exact same thing of what he said to us at our Christmas meal. So many different things, he spoke about the possibility for peace, the December 25, 1999 message, in this contemplation. He spoke about this great day of grace, just like the message today with the “great joy,” and so we saw the confirmation of what he was speaking to us come alive again in this novena that also confirmed the message.

 

So, it was very exciting, a very exciting day, a very exciting Christmas, and one that confirmed that we had just entered into a new time. Something different is happening with the plan of Our Lady.

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Well, it’s remarkable for us to see Our Lady, how She guides us, and then seeing it fulfilled in the future. We did this three years ago, this meditation. It wasn’t written. It wasn’t even scripted. We just came in the studio and did these things. And here it is, you see exactly the same day, the timing is stunning that Our Lady gives a message of what was said on the first novena, written for the Christmas Day, that we know Our Lady’s with us. It’s not like we have to sit there and convince people. We see it physically manifest in our life. And this is what I was referring to that I feel bad for people that haven’t taken the steps we’ve taken, or they’re reluctant to do that. And a lot of people are stuck in peace because they want it, but they don’t have it. Somebody might say they’re in peace, but even the season, the whole dynamics of Christmas and the shopping and the activity and the busyness of it doesn’t lend itself to peace.

 

And so, it’s nice to come home when you are out into a way of life, and we see these beautiful things. And we grow numb to things. Man’s nature is such that if you have steak every single day, you would grow numb to that, and you won’t enjoy it anymore.

 

Likewise, with grits. If you eat something like impoverished meals, you get numb to that. And after being hungry, you get grits, and you’ve been starving, you’d be happy for it, just like a steak.

 

But no matter what it is, whether you’re a peasant or a king, those states in life are empty today. And we’re searching. And everybody’s drowning, just like they’re in an open sea. They’ve been dog-paddling for hours, and you can just last so long in that.

 

And so, the world’s a tired place. This is Our Lady’s words. She quotes that. “The world is tired.” (June 25, 2010) The path it’s on has worn it out. And so, She’s coming to bring a freshness to everything. And I can tell you, this past week, and just the last couple of months, we’ve worked hard. We are physically tired, but there’s a freshness if you reflect. You can be in community with us, and you don’t reflect and you don’t stop and just do what we did yesterday with this message and look at it and say, “Woah.” And then everything said earlier in the day is confirmed in something written three years ago, or two years ago. It is the third time we’re doing the novena.

 

And so, we live something that when we get worn out, we’re refreshed. But we see the same thing with Mary and Joseph wandering looking for the inn, wandering around trying to find a place. They were tired. But they had something they were looking forward to that kept them fresh. And that’s what we are to be looking forward to.

 

[SONG]

I found them standing in my door
In the clumsy silence of the poor
I’ve got no time for precious things
But at least they won’t be wandering
If they’re sleeping on my stable floor

There were no rooms to rent tonight
The only empty bed is mine
‘Cause I’m overbooked and overrun
With so many things that must be done
Until I’m numb and running blind

I need rest, I need rest
Lost inside a forest of a million trees
Trying to find my way back to me
I need rest

As a boy I heard the old men sing
About a Kingdom and a coming King
But keeping books and changing beds
Put a different song inside my head
And the melody is deafening

I need rest, I need rest
Like a drowning man in the open sea
I need somebody to rescue me
I need rest

To Rome we’re only names and numbers
Not souls in search of signs and wonders
But we’re waiting for the day of our salvation
The messiah who will be our liberation
We’re waiting, I’m waiting

I need rest, I need rest
Oh come oh come Emmanuel
With a sword deliver Israel
I need rest

Tonight I can’t get any sleep
With those shepherds shouting in the streets
A star is shining much too bright
Somewhere I hear a baby cry
And all I want is a little peace

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Clever words.

 

“To Rome we’re only names and numbers…”

 

That’s what we are to the government. That’s what, just, in our last visit, which I did not mention a little while ago, just being with Marija in Italy in the last week, that we’ve gone from Thanksgiving with Marija, then the Dedication things, and now we were with Marija just a few days ago, right here before Christmas.

 

And in Italy, they’re saying the same things. It’s just taxes. It’s just a number. It’s just a system. It’s the way you have to work.

 

So, these words in this song, “To Rome, we’re only names and numbers,” is exactly what our government looks at us at. Nothing but numbers. And who won’t get tired of all that?

 

[COC]

Well, to what you’re saying, Our Lady said in yesterday’s message, “…Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace in your hearts, in the families, in the world…” She makes those three different denominations, as we heard in the clip that we played from yesterday.

 

But two questions. First of all, do you expect to see physical manifestations of this, for people who are praying and living the message; number one, seeing that happen in their own hearts; number two, seeing that happen in families. But also, something kind of physical manifestation happening in the world toward peace?

 

The second question was, Our Lady said, “…help with your prayers for it to be so…” Do you expect there to be a threat to it, that it may not come to pass, depending on whether we pray or don’t pray?

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

It’s going to come to pass. We’ve gotten the prayers, all these years, we’ve worked for it. She said, “…a new possibility…” in ’99. And here it is, She says, “…With great joy, today…” I am telling you, my Son, I’m carrying, for Him to give you peace.

 

She’s not saying “maybe.” But also, it won’t be everybody, because they’re not participating. But they can eventually jump on the bandwagon because they’ll see us in peace, as everything else falls apart and deteriorates. But it’s a mandate, a declaration, August 2, 1981, “…A great struggle is about to unfold…between my Son and satan. Human souls are at stake.” That Our Lady said today, “…Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace in your hearts…”

 

This is a beautiful, most profound confirmation. Hearts is the individual, then the family, and then the world.

 

So, it’s coming.

 

And she says, “…I…call you not to lose hope…” The message on the meditation last night was about all about losing hope. Everything’s going the wrong way. We didn’t have any hope. See, we see it now. We see with the election of an individual that we can’t bring peace about through him, but we can be given somebody that would open the door for us.

 

You say, “Well, it seems awkward to be putting Trump in the messages in like this context.”

 

Who was Herod? Who was Pilate? All these had plays in the Via Dolorosa walk with Jesus. Why did they go to Bethlehem? Was it an evil thing that they ordered the census? That’s what this song was saying:

 

“To Rome, we’re only names and numbers.”

 

Yet, they helped, through these leaders, to fulfill the Scriptures, that out of Bethlehem will come the Savior.

 

So, God uses these things. People try to put God in a small box. You have a view of Him that He’s what you think. Our Lady gave that message, saying, “You realize God not for Who He is but how you imagine Him.” (February 2, 2011)

 

We have to look at how Jesus was born. He’s a little King. How can a King be a Baby? And yet, He is. We forget these things. We’re guilty of taking life. We’re guilty of so many things, and we take everything out of the Hands of the King of the World. God’s not king in the world. We are. Man has placed himself there. When did we forget these things? We started with the Industrial Revolution, with the French Revolution, and we continue on this walk.

 

He’s the Voice that made you from dust. Reflect on that. Think about all these things. And also, we wonder about your question was about what’s coming in events…You know, when Our Lady says “Pray for the shepherds. Pray for the shepherds,” is She only talking about bishops?

 

What is a shepherd? It’s somebody who watches over a flock. Typically, when we think of shepherd, it’s tending and feeding and guarding sheep. And yet, Jesus referred to Himself as a Shepherd. But He wasn’t talking about tending sheep. Who was sheep? It’s interchangeable. It’s people. The care of souls.

 

So, we have two kinds of shepherds. We have the religious shepherd. That’s our bishops, of course. And also, secular. So, am I saying Trump is our shepherd? When Our Lady’s saying, “Pray for your shepherd”? Yes, that’s what I’m saying. We think, “Oh, that’s wrong. This is mixing politics with religion.” You’re putting God in a box. You don’t understand God. You don’t understand history. You don’t understand how He works if that’s your mentality is.

 

I was at an Italian restaurant with Marija, and one of her friends and my friends I’ve known since Medjugorje from Scotland, and we started coming up and talking about Trump, and she said people in Scotland didn’t like him. He built a golf course there, and he used eminent domain to do that.

 

I don’t like eminent domain. I think it’s unjust in a lot of ways, sometimes the government has to do that. But you’re just a number. And so, he used this to get rid of people’s land in Scotland, and a lot of Scottish people don’t like him. She still lives in Scotland. So, they’re violently opposed, in many ways, to Trump, what he did.

 

Jesus don’t like somebody crooked, right?

 

Jesus don’t like crooked tax collectors…

 

And yet, he picked Matthew, number six or seven or eight, whatever, in number of twelve that He picked. Why did He do that? This guy was a tax collector right up to that date. He’s a ruthless man. You can say the same thing about Trump, taking things from the people.

 

Now, why would God do that? Why would God pick Trump? Why did Christ pick Matthew? Because those attributes of doing what he was doing and he was good at, He wanted those attributes. Matthew had something, Jesus saw in him, that, “If I can change these bad things he’s doing into good, there’s going to be a great good he can produce.”

 

And the same way with Trump. We see this. When was the last president you’ve seen put a Christmas card out in front of a Christmas tree saying, “Merry Christmas”?

 

Don’t discount and put God in your mentality what you think He can do. The same as Matthew. Do you think that’s a mistake of what I’m talking about, about Trump? And this isn’t a commercial. This is a recognition of your question you asked me of where we’re going. Our Lady comes right here, in January 20^th, we’ve got the inauguration, and we’ve got this possibility of peace spoken about, and then we’ve got this, Our Lady saying peace is coming? It doesn’t mean it’s coming to everybody. It doesn’t mean there won’t be more terrorist attacks. But we’ve got somebody who’s vehemently opposed to this, ready to act on our behalf. And people of good will recognize it, and people who have bad will, will not recognize it.

 

Matthew was a bad guy. Many people were bad people when Jesus chose them—Mary Magdalene. But don’t discount the actions of God. Why are you numb to it? Why are you blind to it? He’s the King of the world. You don’t think He can do whatever He wants to do? You don’t think He has a power to ordain something and take somebody with incredible talents, to know how to manipulate the laws and not break them, and yet, implement and make his kingdom on earth through riches, like Trump did, that Matthew can be taken and do the same things and his attributes, change him to good?

 

Did you know He went to all the apostles for all these things? They caught fish, they did this, they did that…

 

God’s not looking for un-talented people. He’s looking for those who have some kind of zeal for whatever they do and turn that toward good.

 

So, don’t fit Him in your mentality of what you think He’s about.

 

[SONG]

I tried to fit You in the walls inside my mind
I try to keep You safely in-between the lines
I try to put You in the box that I’ve designed
I try to pull You down so we are eye to eye

When did I forget that You’ve always been

The King of the world?
I try to take life back right out of the hands of the King of the world
How could I make You so small
When You’re the one who holds it all
When did I forget that You’ve always been

The King of the world

Just a whisper of Your voice can tame the seas
So who am I to try to take the lead
Still I run ahead and think I’m strong enough
When You’re the one who made me from the dust

When did I forget that You’ve always been

The King of the world?
I try to take life back

Right out of the hands of the King of the world
How could I make You so small
When You’re the one who holds it all
When did I forget that You’ve always been

The King of the world

Oh, You set it all in motion
Every single moment
You brought it all to me
And You’re holding on to me

When did I forget that You’ve always been

The King of the world?
I try to take life back

Right out of the hands of the King of the world
How could I make You so small
When You’re the one who holds it all
When did I forget that You’ve always been the King of the world

You will always be the King of the world

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

He’s over the nations, over the people.

 

Christians would say, “Oh, I know that.”

 

But then we it comes to our governing, our own affairs and our own family, our own soul, our nation and the world, we limit Him, and we wonder why we’ve inherited all the difficulties we have.

 

I remember as a child, we’d go to the football stadium for feast of Christ the King, the whole diocese would do that. All the schools, all the parents, thousands of people would show up. It was beautiful. But we’ve forgot that. And look where we are.

 

[COC]

Reyes brought up the question, looking towards the future, but I, in one phrase that Our Lady gave today, calls me to look at the past, in which She said,

 

“…I bless you with my Son Jesus and call you not to lose hope; and for your gaze and heart to always be directed towards Heaven and eternity…”

 

This is what your gaze was in the beginning, before even Community.

 

You had your gaze and your heart directed towards Heaven and eternity. And in the midst of starting Caritas, and so much of what you’ve done over the years, over the decades, is to move people to prayer.

 

How many novenas, you know…The Seven Novenas that we pray every year for the reconciliation of ourselves, our families, and our nation back to God…Just recently, the novenas, the prayer groups that are starting for the election, going all the way to Philadelphia to meet with our prayer groups, to pray for this, the nine-day novena to Christmas, the novena we start on December 24^th to free Our Lady, all of these prayers have led to a fulfillment that I believe Our Lady is showing us today, that when She said on July 3, 2013, “Form and make prayer groups through which we will pray for your healing and the healing of this nation…” that this message today reflects on what She was saying then, and that because you have always had your gaze and your heart towards Heaven and towards eternity, these prayers have brought us to this point.

 

Our Lady has said…And I looked this up because She talked about a plan, you know, God’s plans, and over the last three years, in primarily Ivan’s prayer groups, She has talked about the plan, to pray for the plan, just like you always would speak about when you first began to get into the message, that Our Lady would say, “Pray for the plan…” “Pray that satan doesn’t thwart the plan…” “Pray that the plan would be fulfilled…” And you couldn’t find in the message anywhere where the plan was. She has come, over the last three years in a particular way to Ivan saying the same thing.

 

June 24, 2013

“…Dear children, with you I desire to realize my plans with the world and with the Church…”

 

August 23, 2013

“…Dear children, especially during this time, pray for peace in the world. Pray for my plans which I desire to realize – plans of peace…”

 

January 3, 2014

“…Pray in a special way for my plans that need to be realized, plans for the world, plans of peace…”

 

May 5, 2014

“…I desire to call you, through this time, to pray for my intentions and my plans that I desire to realize with the world, with this parish, and with my Church…be persevering in prayer…”

 

I could go on. Those are just the first four. There’s ten other ones that I’ve gotten.

 

But, so this plan, and what Our Lady’s saying today, that you saw She was saying back at the beginning, where are we in this plan? Is it the same plan that you saw at the beginning that we are just living out today, and where is that plan bringing us into the future?

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Starting all this was, of course, our main, primary focus was the nation’s deterioration. And that was pre-Medjugorje I saw it coming. And I was very concerned with it, because I love our nation.

 

And as I went to Europe more and more, and now, I have underneath my belt, over 200 trips to Europe, there’s no place like this country. There’s no place that expresses the thoughts of freedom.

 

And people say, “Well, there’s so much freedom with the guns and all this, there’s a lot of lawlessness in this country.” It’s true. But it’s more true in other countries.

 

But that freedom represents what Jesus and what God the Father and the Holy Spirit honors, is He gave us liberty. He gave us freedom of will. You don’t think He’s aware when somebody’s about to kill somebody else, especially if it’s pre-meditated. Why doesn’t He stop that, the injustice of it?

 

This is a lifetime of mercy. Justice is on the other side of death, and free will reigns. And so, our country reflects something that no other country reflects, and it is the hope of the world.

 

Why did Peter go, why did Paul go, why did the early Christians base in Rome, because when they started seeding there, and they grew and they propagated, it veined out to the whole world.

 

Why did Our Lady come here in 1988? What’s Her purpose in being here? Because we have a spirit of freedom. When we’re told not to spread the messages, we’re going to do it anyway.

 

When I get a letter in Medjugorje from the Franciscans, at that time who’s running the parish, “Don’t come to Medjugorje no more. Don’t use Medjugorje’s name. You can’t come here and be here lawfully operating civilly or with the Church.”

 

You know what I did?

 

I laughed.

 

They didn’t call me to Medjugorje. Our Lady did. And we have an independent spirit, one of freedom. And we’re going to put the messages out. We’re going to propagate them. We’re not going to stop. Nobody’s going to stop us.

 

You say, “Well, if the Church condemns it…” The Church cannot stop something that’s been going on for 35 years. They would have stopped it a long time ago. I’m not concerned about that.

 

And so, we have a spirit in this nation of freedom, even though we’ve lost a lot of freedom through our sins, and we’re at fault first, not the reprobates, no the liberals, not another party or this and that. We are the ones.

 

What was it, four years ago? “I am your peace. Live My Commandments.” (December 25, 2012) The Voice of the little King, Jesus, to Marija? And now, today, “…Heaven is fighting…”

 

No, not Heaven. “…Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace in your hearts…”

 

With us! This is a collaboration. And you can’t recognize, because you’ve got God in a box, what’s coming now? And who’s He putting in office?

 

Yes, we’ve said it before, Our Lady said, “Peace will not come through the presidents.” If we had George Washington in there, and we were still where we were thirty years ago, he couldn’t do anything, nor could he do anything today, unless God ordains it.

 

God does use leaders. It’s Biblical. It’s Scriptural.

 

So, get rid of your caustic mentality that we can’t speak about these things or we can’t mix these messages, or, “You’re brining Our Lady into politics.” No, politics is corrupt. We’re bringing Our Lady into something of the movement of God, that if you’re reflecting, if you’re sensitive, if your praying, if your fasting, you can see it. You can see She Who is, is here because of He Who is, Christ, King of the world. And we’ve lost that position. And why is She here? To show us this and tell us that.

 

So,

 

“…I bless you with my Son…and call you not to lose hope…”

 

The meditation last night was, three years ago, we’re all losing hope because everything’s bad and it’s gone downhill worse and worse. Nobody could imagine just two years ago, all the atrocities we’re seeing. And now, everything’s reversed.

 

So, to fully answer your question, where are we in the plan?

 

We’re on the upscale. The freight train’s moving now. It’s enacted. It’s astounding to know that the Mother of God came down and descended down in the Field and said,

 

“Form and make prayer groups through which we will pray for your healing and the healing of this nation to draw closer to God and to Me.”

 

We got this! Our shepherds everywhere should be implementing this from the top of the steeples of the churches, every basilica in the dioceses across this country and the world because they can take the same message. But it was given for this country. It just takes initiative. If we’re at least five percent of the population of the world, or even less, everybody else will follow. That’s the principle it goes by. That’s why everybody went to Rome. He needed to get five percent of the people, the whole world would be conquered by that. This principle threads out through history. It’s part of our philosophy here, to teach you to understand, you don’t have to have everybody in the parish go from Medjugorje. Just five percent! You take over with that, because you’re going to be stronger than they are.

 

That’s why the Muslims have such impact, the radicalization of those Muslims, because there’s some good Muslims in following what they do, maybe sometimes through ignorance, but they want to be good. But the five percent rules. Everybody else will follow.

 

And so, we now have it mandated.

 

“…Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace in your hearts…”

 

“…Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace…in [your] families…”

 

“…Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace…in the world…”

 

Don’t negate the other two that follows in your heart and focus on the individual heart. That’s the base, because you can’t fix the family without fixing the individual heart. You can’t fix the world without fixing the individual family. And this was seeded from the apparitions over the Bed.

 

I went through a transformation in my mentality. How will this thing change? What will make the change? Me. I change the world as an individual if I change and then change my family because nations are made up of families.

 

So, where are we with the plan?

 

Look at what’s happening. Look at everything.

 

And so, to sum these things up, we need to look at everything Our Lady’s doing. What does it show about this place? We’ve got a message from Heaven on this geographic place because we’re strong in voicing Our Lady’s messages and calling people to the way of life without apology, without worrying about the consequences, whether you lose your job or not, you do it.

 

And so, we have, at the turn of the millennium, right there where Our Lady says on the 25^th, six days before it was going to change, and then when Our Lady comes, in that event, a new possibility is going to come. And now, here it comes, 16 years later, the 100^th year of the anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima? You think all that just happens this way?

 

And then, on November 2, 2016, just ahead of 2017 for the 100^th anniversary, Our Lady says, “You live, you conquer, you expose evil”? And that’s six days before the election of November 8^th of Trump? And then there’s six apparitions at Fatima? “Expose evil,” 6-6-6?

 

God wants to do what Our Lady said He would do. He wants to reach you through messages, through nature, through men, and various other ways, She said.

 

You don’t fit these things together and try to make it into something. Let them fall into place. If you’re not deeply entering into the Scriptures, you won’t understand them, nor the messages, nor what happens through the day.

 

You will never convince me what happened in the Nativity, Christmas Eve here, wasn’t graced by Our Lady. We put little Polly in there, which means “Mary” in 63 languages, the Virgin Mary. When we put her there, I laid her there because I knew she’d stay asleep. And she woke up. She had just gone to sleep.

 

We see grace. It’s alive. The question is, will you see it? Will you see these patterns? Here we are, 16 years into this new century, and the nation’s conversion, all this is at hand, and that’s what this message yesterday was about. It’s an amazing thing. And who is it about? Reflect.

 

You think Our Lady’s impatient? Do you think it’s unvirtuous to be impatient? I would think so. But Our Lady actually said, in ’95, that She waits impatiently. What was it like when the angel came to Her, “Oh, I’ve got plenty of time. I’ve got nine more months.” You think She was impatient? Our Lady’s birthing something into the world, and it’s a big, big thing. And all or some of this will lead up to the Second and Final Coming of Christ, and that could be over a century or more or next month, when the apparitions end.

 

But this is all preparation. But also, Biblically, everything applies to the now moment, just like we talked about recently on the radio, “For at that time there will be great tribulation such as has not been since the beginning of the world until now.”

 

If we’ve progressed in evil, the world has never seen that. That Bible verse can apply to the moment people lived of a tribulation that the world’s never seen up to that point.

 

It’s just going to get bigger. The Scriptures aren’t dead. They’re alive. Our Lady’s messages aren’t dead. They’re alive! And now, we’re waiting. We’re waiting for something to come.

 

[SONG]

A little baby told God, “Hey, I’m kinda scared
Don’t really know if I wanna go down there
From here it looks like a little blue ball
But that’s a great big place and I’m so small”

Why can’t I just stay here with you?
Did I make you mad, don’t you want me, too?
And God said, “Oh, child, of course I do
But there’s somebody special waiting for you”

So, hush now, baby
Don’t you cry
‘Cause there’s someone down there waiting
Whose only goal in life
Is making you sure you’re always
Gonna be alright
A loving angel, tender tough and strong
It’s almost time to go and meet your mom

You’ll never have a better friend
Or a warmer touch to tuck you in
And she’ll kiss your bruises, your bumps and scrapes
And anytime you hurt, her heart’s gonna break

So, hush now, baby
Don’t you cry
‘Cause there’s someone down there waiting
Whose only goal in life
Is making you sure you’re always
Gonna be alright
A loving angel, tender tough and strong
It’s almost time to go and meet your mom

Now when she’s talking to you
Make sure you listen close
Cause she’s gonna teach everything
You’ll ever need to know
Like how to mind your manners
To love and laugh and dream
And she’ll put you on the path
That’ll bring you back to Me

So, hush now, baby
Don’t you cry
‘Cause there’s someone down there waiting
Whose only goal in life
Is making you sure you’re always
Gonna be alright
A loving angel, tender tough and strong
Come on child it’s time to meet your mom

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

As Our Lady was waiting on Jesus, we need to look at this moment, that She’s impatiently waiting for you, because She said, “As I bore Jesus in my womb, I wish to bear you unto holiness.” (March 25, 1990)

 

We live in a time that’s unbelievable, surreal. The time of Mary. And I can tell you, without reserve, the reality of this being known to people, and yet, they’ve ignored it, or been indifferent, will cause such lamentation compared to those who never knew of it who came to Our Lady later, that if you regroup and dig into it in the future, how sorry you will be that you missed the time of Mary.

 

She’s real. She walks the earth, and this is something not foreseen in the Church, nor any man. It was kept secret. He knew at the wedding feast at Cana, when He started His ministry, He had to have it in His Heart that He would send Her to the earth to precede the Second Coming, and I stake my life on it, that all of this is in preparation for that Second Coming. But what you live, what we put into a way of life, will help those, perhaps shortly in the future or far in the future, to go through the final great tribulation.

 

Reflect, begin this year anew with Mary.

 

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