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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

This is Mejanomics with a Friend of Medjugorje.

 

[COCI]

 

Thank you for joining us on tonight’s broadcast of Mejanomics. This week, we have been blessed to share the experience of what Our Lady has done here with a Friend of Medjugorje in Her apparitions and messages, and spending time with the pilgrims here who are able to witness this historic pilgrimage of seeing these sacred sites and what Our Lady has established here.

 

For Mejanomics today, we are going to share with you the highlights of what a Friend of Medjugorje spoke to the Caritas Pilgrimage group yesterday. And so, here is a Friend of Medjugorje.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

The messages of Our Lady shows us one thing: responsibility. The responsibility we have right now is more grave than anything in 2000 years with the birth of the Church itself. And Our Lady gives us a period of time to prepare for divine intervention. If I told you that twenty years ago or thirty years ago, you would say, “What’s the big deal?” Nobody questions it now.

 

They know we can’t correct this problem we have now. Had Our Lady not started in 1981 and started now at 2000, say, 11, She would be overwhelmed with the messages by electronics. We got rooted before the fax machine, before the computer laptop, before all these things that have snowed us deep and bury us, basically, so deep that we can’t get out. Our Lady couldn’t come earlier, and She couldn’t have come any later. So, all this timing, and your birth and where you are, your age, nothing’s by chance.

 

Our Lady gave a message that spoke to us that there’s no chance. You’ve heard that, and if you’ve read my writing, I use this a lot. In the ancient Jews, and probably today the same way, when they had a decision they had to make, they would draw straws. Actually, you might say, “Well, I’m not going to do that. I’m not going to pick yes or no or get a straw to go buy a car or should I marry this person.” Yet, the most responsible decision first made by the Church was who was going to replace Judas. Well, they had two people, and how did they come to that conclusion? Drawing straws. So, Our Lady now comes to tell us in our time, there’s nothing by chance.

 

So, the Jews had gone throughout history that everything, when they couldn’t make a decision, they left it up to God by chance. So, that’s a big responsibility as far as what we do now today, tying that into our decisions of what we make. We have to pray for decisions. But many times when you’re going to make a decision, you still don’t know that confidence of what you’re supposed to do.

 

But if you pray, if you walk that way, you can develop that system that you can always make the right decision, and it’s not by chance the way it turns out. Things happen, and those things are always questioned. There’s not even the least insect that’s made on the earth and created, throughout creation, without it having a purpose.

 

So, everything we do and everything we live, we have distanced ourselves and this culture away from God. So, Our Lady comes to us with a big, big responsibility for us. She says on May 8, 1986,

 

“…you are the ones responsible for the messages…”

 

You here have to go into the messages and have to change the direction of your life, your mentality, your thinking, decisions you made twenty years ago that’s on the wrong path. You have to align everything with the message. Is it difficult? You bet it is. Our Lady says, “This is a difficult thing I give to you.” January 25, 1987. You are chosen for “…a great plan for the salvation of [the world]…”

 

So, we go back to the Crucifixion, Pentecost, these things, the Church growing, and here we come, a new thing, 2000 years later that you are responsible, and you have a great role in this for the salvation of the world. Why? Because it’s losing salvation. Never in a period have we had the circumstances as we have now except for one other time. It was before Noah and the Flood, and God struck through nature.

But now He sends His Mother, and She’s not going to do it that way. It’s going to come through grace, a real, real grace. We’re going to be struck raining down graces. But don’t think it’s going to be a pleasant thing. Remember Francisco in Fatima, six years old, She shows him hell, and he’s looking down there and he’s screaming and screaming. “Take it away! Take it away!”

 

That would be child abuse today. Jakov saw hell when he was thirteen or fourteen, and he will not talk about it today it was so hard. And he says, “All I will tell you about hell is you’d never want anybody, your worst enemy, to go to hell.” Francisco, in 1917, sees hell, and Our Lady doesn’t take it away. She makes him see that and allows him to see that. To think about how much he’s terrorized by that.

 

We are in a situation right now, Our Lady’s showing us things and we’re seeing things that you might not want to see. We don’t want to see what’s happening with this election. We don’t want to see what’s going on in the government. We don’t want to see what’s happening in the family and all the divorce and all these things that’s taking place. The world’s an ugly place right now.

 

We don’t try to sell anybody Medjugorje. We don’t try to convince anybody. We just show them our witness and how we live. And people are now, because of corona, are thinking different about everything, that we have to change our way of life. We have to change the system. We can’t depend on the dollar. We have to depend on somebody in community with you or your next-door neighbor, or whatever you can put together.

 

June 25, 1989. Ivanka, I’m with her, and Our Lady tells her, “…you are in great temptation…” through materialism. satan is involved with this. So, it’s his plan for that, and everybody’s connected, and it’s very difficult to be far away from the system as it is now. Ask yourself, is the system glorifying God? What is glorifying God and what is not glorifying God? You can pick out what’s going down because She said that September 2, I think, 2011. “…Everything…is passing…” You’ve heard me say it. “…everything is falling apart…” Everything. She didn’t say most things are going to fall apart. She said,

 

“…Everything…is passing…everything is falling apart…”

 

What will be left? Our Lady says,

 

“…only the glory of God…”

 

In other words, your life, your business, your house, what you do, your school, the universities. If they don’t glorify God, they are over. Starbucks is going out of business, I’m telling you right now. Zuckerberg, all their stuff is going away. It’s going to pass; it’s going to fall apart. The system’s going to crash. If you know that, you understand that, why would you not start changing the direction of your life? Our Lady said that, quote,

 

“…change the direction of your life…”

 

“I can’t just do that.” It’s true. That’s why Our Lady’s here for almost forty years because we’re so rooted. We’ve got a weed here that a lot of people like. It’s wisteria. When I was in business I said, “Don’t plant this thing. It’s from the devil.” [LAUGHTER] I mean, it grows right here, and then it sprouts up at the front of the building. And once you’ve got it, you can’t get rid of it. It’s constant.

 

And for those of you who know what wisteria is, it has a beautiful look, purple flowers in the Spring, and people do it for that little sweetness, and the rest of the year, you’re fighting it. And that’s what’s in us. We’re so rooted, so enslaved, we can’t get away from it. That’s why we did the Miraculous Medjugorje Round. It’ll give you a system. That actually is a system, the rounds, the silver rounds that we’re doing, is going to turn into an economic currency itself. There’s four million of them out there.

 

And that was part of getting the people from that segment, get away from your retirements, changing things like that. You have to change everything and re-evaluate everything in your life. Why would you want to keep your 401(k)s where they are when they’re all spread out in the stock markets? This over here is in the insurance. This is over here in some other kind of investment. You think that’s going to stay there? Is it glorifying God? That’s your question. Is that system going to be there?

 

Are the 401(k)s going to be there? But that’s just one little speck of our lives where we messed up. We’ve got mortgaged houses. We’ve got these things and these situations. This may be…You can start getting depressed thinking about that, but Our Lady said, “It’s never too late.”

 

One thing I’ve noticed, that people have a lot of money, that’s very, very strong Christians, when they get something, they get cancer or they get something, the first thing they do is go get the best doctor, the best hospital, the best medicine. They don’t care what they’ve got to spend. And at the end, when everything’s over, and they can’t fix it, they say, “Well, the only thing left to do is prayer.”

 

My sister works in ICC with Children’s Hospital. There was actually a little girl who came in who was on a four-wheeler, damaged her brain, and after three or four days, the doctors couldn’t do anything. And they told my sister, “Well, there’s nothing left to do but prayer.” That’s the last thing you do? You be praying. You be praying every day. And then whatever does happen, it goes through what God patterned out for you and it’s easier to accept.

 

We pray, I pray, for a happy, holy death, not not to die of cancer, not to die from this…what God’s plan is for me when I don’t want to live one second longer or one second less. Everything’s programmed, for whatever the reasons are, and so it’s important for you to be praying for that.

 

We have plaques on a lot of our machines that you saw down there. It says, “For (so-and-so), for a happy, holy death.” We’re all going to die. A hundred and twenty years ago, everybody that lived, they’re dead. You’re going to die. When that happens, you want to carry a bucket of graces and prayers.

 

So, the responsibility we have, Our Lady’s asking for us, is showing us to live in the physical world, but always have our thoughts and one foot in the physical world. People want to stay in the physical realm rather than spiritual. They only want to step in the spiritual realm when something happens. Don’t wait for that. On this pilgrimage you’re on, you make a decision to go deeper into that, and don’t cling and hold onto problems and be worrying about them because you can’t fix it, but God can.

 

May 8, 1986 message says,

 

“…you are the ones responsible for the messages…”

 

So, She’s putting a grave responsibility on you. Catholics are trying to go to the priest, go to the bishop, go to the Pope, whatever. She’s not telling that for them. She’s not telling us to go to the priest. People go to Medjugorje. They get excited. “I’m going to get my priest involved with this and get the priest to do this, and the priest to do that.” It’s not their commission. She’s come to the people. She’s come to you. And everybody who goes to Medjugorje always, “I’ll get my priest to do this.” Forget that.

 

Our Lady can’t change things inside the Church now. You’re the Church. You’re the renewal. And it took me a long time to accept that because when Our Lady started saying, “You are an apostle,” and that took twenty years before She started saying that. “You are My apostles.” Well, I had trouble with it because the bishops were the apostles. And then Our Lady gave a message that says, “…You, my apostles…” And then She ended at the end about the bishops, “…your shepherds…” She said. “The shepherds are My Son’s apostles.” Our Lady is literally here to raise up a body of people that literally are the apostles of this time. The question is, do you want to accept that? Will you accept that? If you accept it, it’s a big responsibility.

 

So, She says,

 

“…you are the ones responsible for the messages…”

 

The priests give us the Sacraments, and if a priest starts doing Medjugorje, [SLAMS PODIUM] they’re squashed, over and over and over. satan is in the Church. he’s always been. And Our Lady says, “Wherever I go, My Son’s there, but so does satan.” satan is in Medjugorje. satan is here. he goes to holy places. he’s not going to Rome where the saints used to say, it only takes one sleeping devil to watch Rome and take care of it, but a saint, it takes a whole legion of devils to make him fall.

 

What’s first important is what Our Lady says in the same message. You’re responsible for your job. Everybody has a job. Everybody works. The kids, they’ve got their homework. They’ve got their school. If you’re born, as soon as you can start doing things, you’ve got a job. Even these little kids have a job.

 

Maddalena! Maddalena, come here! Maddalena! Maddalena! Over here. Come see Papa. Is she coming? Alright. Maddalena…Hey Maddalena! [LAUGHTER] Come here. Come here. [KISSES MADDALENA MULTIPLE TIMES] That’s her job. [LAUGHTER] She’s got a job. When you’re born, you’ve got a job. There’s things that you do…Things just happen. It’s in your heart. Their job is to play. [TO MADDALENA] You’re free. [LAUGHTER]

What is a vessel? A vessel is something that carries things. What is that? It transports. Our Lady says in this message,

 

“…the source of grace is here, but you, dear children, are the vessels which transport…”

 

Look at the verbiage of Our Lady. “Vessel,” and “transport.”

 

“…are the vessels which transport the gifts. Therefore, dear children, I am calling you to do your job…”

 

And even a little infant has a job like we just showed you.

 

“…I am calling you to do your job with responsibility. Each one shall be responsible according to [their] own ability…”

 

Whatever your skills are, whatever you do, whatever your abilities are, if it’s an architect or it’s whatever, or a mailman, whatever it may be, are you glorifying God through it, or are you just doing it secularized? It’s going to disappear. It’s going away. If you own a company, if you work somewhere, you have to sanctify that. Again, going back to the Miraculous Medjugorje Round, we sanctified our money because we know the Miraculous Medal creates miracles.

 

There’s a grace with it, and Our Lady reinvigorated it in 1989 to Marija. I was shocked about that, on the Feast of the Miraculous Medal, that Our Lady upped the ante on that. And She said, whoever carries this, you pray for them. That wasn’t said in Rue de Bac 180 years ago. It was just said they just wear it. And now, She adds that, if they carry that. So, if you’re in the banking industry…The banking industry is not glorifying God. So, a lot of people catch themselves when they start looking at where I work and what I’m doing, it’s troubling. It’s difficult.

 

So, going back to Ivanka, She’s talking about you’ll be enslaved, it is something in a situation that people can’t escape that. But if you have to start doing what you do, you get fired for it and then God will lead you to where you will need to lead to.

 

Our Lady said on November 2, 2012,

 

“…Do not take the given responsibility lightly…”

 

August, 1984

 

“Your responsibility is to accept Divine peace…”

 

Not your peace, not man’s peace, Divine peace. You can’t get Divine peace without the Divine. You can’t get the Divine without prayer, sacrifice, fasting and penance. Sin’s not a problem. You say, “Woah, what are you saying?” Sin’s not a problem because Jesus died to wipe it away. You confess and do penance for it. What’s not erased are those who do not acknowledge sin. That’s the problem in the world today. Nothing’s a sin. That’s why Our Lady’s not coming into the Church, because the Church, it’s building up there.

 

You’re the Church. You want to go with what’s going on? Because I wanted to know…I wanted to know what to do with this mission. I prayed and prayed and prayed really hard, did penances, asked, “Mary, what is the mission? What do You want me to do here?” And in a flash, it was given. It’s downstairs in the vestibule, far to the left. It’s called “Rebuilding the Church.” And remember as you read that, 1989, we didn’t know anything that we know now with scandal. And when you read that, just because God gives you something, doesn’t mean you understand what you’re saying. I didn’t understand it. I knew I had to write down what I was given, instantly, in one second.

 

I ran out of the Field because I was afraid I was going to forget it. And that’s documentation that that was done in 1989. And then all this comes out, and you’ll read exactly how Our Lady explained it to me. And I don’t have to prove anything because it’s in documents. It’s been printed. We’ve talked about it for years, way before the news came out. So, I was writing something that I wasn’t even aware of, but I was describing exactly what was going on with the Church. While you’re here, go there and read that very, very carefully and very slowly and two or three times and contemplate what that means. It’ll speak to you because it’s straight from Heaven.

 

June 2, 2012

 

“…My children, great is the responsibility…”

 

Why is it great? Because Our Lady is here to save the whole world. She just gave us a message. What did She say?

 

“…satan wants to destroy…the earth on which you walk…”

 

How more literally can you get than that? Where do you walk? You walk on the earth. What is the earth? It’s the earth. It’s where we live. It’s our home.

 

June 18, 2010

 

“…this time…”

 

This is ten years ago.

 

“…this time is a time of responsibility…”

 

If you love Our Lady, if you want to get close to God, you’ve got to realize, I’ve got a responsibility. I can’t ignore the responsibility. If you go to work when you go back home, or you’ve got some obligation you’ve got to do, you’re responsible for that. Never, ever has Our Lady been given a greater responsibility in the history of Her being as She is doing right now.

 

The first greatest responsibility She had was the birth of the Savior and raise Him all the way to death. This is the second biggest thing Our Lady’s been given. Not Fatima, not Guadalupe, not something ten centuries ago. This is the biggest thing, the second biggest task, that She has ever been given because we are at the brink of our civilization ending and the world.

 

“…this time is a time of responsibility, live my messages responsibly…”

 

You can reject it. You can not accept this. You can walk away from here. You don’t have to go through conversion because it’s not forced. You can’t be an apostle because, “Well, I’ve got to do this. This is a responsibility…” and you’re grumbling in your heart, or “This is something I didn’t want to do.”

 

You’ve got to pray to get the desire. The desire gives you the strength to continue with it because satan’s going to immediately try to stop you. Everything. That’s why we had so much persecution. That’s why we’ve got garbage all over the internet.

 

“…this time is a time of responsibility, live my messages responsibly. Dear children, I desire for you to do works…not words…”

 

Many people go to Medjugorje, that’s all they talk about. “Medjugorje, Our Lady’s appearing.” They want the fluff. They’re like a butterfly going to nectar, nectar, nectar on the flowers. A lot of Medjugorje’s walk is bitter. It’s not always sweet, but it does give something. It gives contentment. Our Lady said on March 18, 2015,

 

“…Do not permit for all that is of this earth to distance you from the true cognition of the contentment in the communion with my Son…”

 

If you’re discontented, and you want to be contentment, what do you have to do? Immediately today, “God, what is your will? I want to do that. I’m praying to discover that.” You are in God’s will, you immediately have contentment, even if you’re suffering from bad decisions, tragic things in family. You say, “I want God’s will,” because once you start doing God’s will, then you get the flood of contentment.

 

↓ Share your thoughts – It helps bring people to conversion ↓

 

It doesn’t mean you won’t suffer from bad things that’s happened. You won’t be in a situation where you’re always getting depressed or your past is locked in your mentality, can’t escape. You escape through God’s will. And if you’re in prison, the POWs…One of the highest POWs in the Vietnam war was from Alabama. What kept him alive, he said, and mentally, was the Rosary. They were so starving that they would be praying for a roach to crawl through their cell so they could eat it. Jeremiah Denton.

 

He’s the one that got off and saluted and kissed the ground. He was the highest-ranking officer. He wrote a book called, When Hell Was in Session. It’s a good book. Read it. It’s amazing the torture, what they went through.

 

“…true cognition of the contentment in the communion with my Son…Therefore, my children, pray so that the Holy Spirit can lead you into truth…”

 

Why? Because we don’t have truth. You can talk to somebody in the pew and be just the opposite of what you believe because they’re not in truth. They’re getting the information from the media. And you can’t say anything to them. And we have people telling us who are listening to bad media. We don’t get truth from the media, even good media. We don’t look at that. We go to the source.

 

“…you into truth, can help you to come to know it, and through that knowledge of the truth that you may be one with the Heavenly Father and with my Son…”

 

So, if you want to be happy, no matter where you are in your life, you want to start experiencing joy, you take the responsibility for these messages, put them in your life, no matter how difficult it is, because what happens with that, Our Lady says, after the Father with my Son,

 

“…That is the cognition which gives happiness on earth…”

 

In Lourdes, Bernadette was told by Our Lady, “I can’t make you happy on this earth.” That’s a contradiction. No, it’s not a contradiction, because in that period of time, it was in a position that She could give that. Our Lady’s here to show us to live and be close to the earth, close to God, have that cognition that we can be happy.

 

I was with Marija in the hospital on that first 1988 trip of hers, and we’re sitting there. I said, “Marija, has Our Lady ever told you what She told Bernadette?” And it’s really pretty amazing to sit down with somebody that’s seeing the Virgin Mary and then talk about St. Bernadette, that she saw the Virgin Mary, and asking this visionary,

 

“Did Our Lady ever tell you, Marija, like She did Bernadette, ‘I can’t promise you that you’ll be happy in this life’?” Now, she was underneath communism, a lot of difficulties. She’s fixing to donate a kidney. She had a lot of difficulties, a lot of attacks from satan. And she says, “No! Our Lady wants me to be happy.” Our Lady wants us all to be happy. And here she says that, March 18, 2015,

 

“…That is the cognition which gives happiness on earth…”

 

You can be happy on this earth, no matter what has happened. If you surrender and give everything to God, everything to Our Lady, everything to Jesus, and live for Them, for Him, not for yourself.

 

One of the things Our Lady showed me very quick is get away from the dollar—the need for money. You say, “Well, I can’t do that.” Well, we create here things straight from the soil. You saw the studio. We’ve got a hundred dollar a foot crown molding in there. What did it cost us? Zero. Almost nothing. We’ve got a sawmill. Once you pay for that, we write that off and stop looking at that. (29:05) We’ve got a molder that we run the wood right through there. It’s just our labor.

 

And if you’re not trying to make a business out of this, when you crank it up, it can sit there for three weeks. We don’t care. We need it so we don’t have to spend money to go buy something like that. And to build a studio like that…It’s fifteen layers of sound and everything, and it’s got to float because we’ve got a big press downstairs, the vibrations, cutters and things like that. You saw how noisy it is. So, it had to be floating. It’s basically separate from the building the way it’s built. Easily 100,000 plus. We didn’t put $5,000 into it.

 

So, our whole life has been, how do we get away from cash. Well, you say, well, we’re asking this and we’re asking for four million dollars or five million dollars for land to do that. Yeah, we have to raise money, but our persons, ourselves, we don’t want money. I don’t want royalties. The way you financially structure this is, we do have to raise money.

 

This is a four-story addition over here. We had to raise money for that. But we buy our equipment that a contractor may be using. We’ll go buy the equipment. Instead of paying the contractor the same money, we’ll buy the machine. So, in essence, the machine is free. You say, “Well, how do you buy an $80,000 machine for free?” Well, if we ask a contractor to come out here and he wants $90,000 for excavation, and we can buy a machine for the same price or for $80,000, then instead of paying him, and he gets the check, and then he walks off. We’ve got the building or the excavation done for that part, and he keeps his equipment, and he’s using it. We rent it from him.

 

So, through the years, we will buy a piece of equipment, and it’s really, literally, free. You say, “How can it be free?” Because we wouldn’t have that machine after we got the construction. We’re going to have to pay the contractor anyway. I’ve been doing that for years. I did that in my business. And we just continue this. I’m just telling you that, how we have gotten away from the dollar, and our equipment can be there and be like money in the bank. It’s money in the bank for us because we don’t need money.

 

And so, we’re showing people how to get into these systems. The way to do it, if you get you a cow, and you’re just by yourself, don’t even…just keep buying your milk. Let the calf be drinking. But if something happens, a crash, you can make the calf into veal and then you’ve got milk, because, really, you have to have a community to make this work.

 

The whole direction of the messages is not just to be praying, fasting penance. It’s to get yourself away from a system that is not of God. And I’m telling you, not me, I’m speaking in Our Lady’s words, Our Lady saying, “I’m telling you, this system’s going away. It is not glorifying God.” And I’m not saying that to scare you, and you might say, “Wow. What am I going to do? How am I going to do this?” Well, the solution is one thing: it’s community.

 

I was in Medjugorje and the this lady comes up, and she says, “Oh, I read everything you write. I’m listening to everything you’re doing. My camper is full of food so when something happens, I’m coming to Caritas.” [LAUGHTER] I said, “Don’t come to our place.” We’re not a refuge. We don’t believe in that. It’s The Corona Vision. Small communities. Go to your church. Put out in the bulletin, “We’re looking for people to buy 200 acres together.”

 

But see, it takes sacrifice. And everybody puts 50,000. Somebody else put 300,000 into it. Whatever you do. It’s not about your money. The hardest thing for people to give up, not the money, is their opinion, because opinions keep…You don’t want to go in community if you’re for Auburn and this person is for Alabama. [LAUGHTER] How do you solve that? Drop your sports. It’s not glorifying God. They desecrate a flag that men have died for to give us liberty. It’s holy. It’s sacred. And you tell me NFL’s not going away? The basketball? All the BLM, all this stuff, is not glorifying God.

Our kids’ sports is out there playing with a deer. Well, we’ve got a dog that chases that deer. You should see that. And then we’ve got ponies that, once they get those out there, you’ve got the ponies and the deer. You’ve got that. The day before yesterday we had pigs out there. And it’s a joy.

 

Our rosary’s not contemplative. It’s not deep, but it’s so joyful. And Our Lady says that. “…Pray until prayer becomes a joy…” These kids have never, ever thought in their mentality not going out in the Field, not saying, “Oh, I don’t want to go out there today.”

 

We’ve never heard that. It’s just what we do. Do you drink water? It’s just natural, and it’s just like drinking water. It’s natural for our children to be out there. In fact, it’s one of the greatest joys of the day. They’re out there playing constantly. They play; we pray. And people sometimes think it may be disrespectful. I understand Our Lady.

 

It’s a joy for Our Lady to see these kids free, not being told to get on their knees and pray, to watch them be raised every day of their life, rain, hurricanes, tornadoes, lightning, the flagpole’s been struck. We felt it in the ground before getting shocked. Whatever weather, we’re out there, no matter how cold, how severe, whatever’s going on. We’re out there every day. These kids are out there ever day of their life. But they get at a point in their age where, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, they begin to kneel down. We never tell them to kneel down. We’ve been doing this for thirty-four years. We have not told one of the youth to go kneel down and pray.

And so, that was a Friend of Medjugorje speaking to the Caritas Pilgrimage group here at Caritas of Birmingham in Alabama. A Friend of Medjugorje said earlier today that we will be planning more of these pilgrimages in the future. If you keep close to Medjugorje.com and to the Caritas mission, we’ll keep you updated about when the next pilgrimage will take place. We thank all of those who have written to us that have said they are praying for the group here, and we certainly appreciate your prayers, and we have been praying also for you from the sacred sites here at Caritas.

 

And so, ending his encounter with the pilgrims here, here is a Friend of Medjugorje to conclude.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

What I want to end with is your responsibility, your investment that you put in here in these days and your heart and how deep you go into this, to turn everything to God, everything to Our Lady, physically, spiritually, traumas, whatever, begins for you the walk toward the apostle. And if you do that, you will get contentment and happiness. You can be very sad but still be happy and content.

 

It doesn’t mean you won’t have sorrow. Our Lady is standing at the foot of the Cross. Her Son dies. She was wounded immediately when He took His last breath. And that cold Body that She holds and held at the foot of the Cross was the same Body that was warm when He was a Baby. And yet, She knew the joy of the future of what Her Son did. So, don’t think happiness is just something shallow and fake. You can be in deep sorrow, deep trouble or difficulties, whatever, but the contentment is what She says, and I’ll end with this again.

 

“…I am imploring you: be vigilant and open for truth. DO not permit for all that is of this earth to distance you from the true cognition of the contentment in the communion with my Son…”

 

That’s the key. If you’re in communion with Jesus, no matter what you’re going through, you can be content, because nothing’s by chance. And with that knowledge of the truth, She says,

 

“…you may be one with the Heavenly Father and with my Son. That is the cognition which gives happiness on earth and opens the door of eternal life and infinite love…”
