[NARRATOR]

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

This is Mejanomics with a Friend of Medjugorje.

 

[JOAN]

We have, tonight, a one-hour special. This is a Friend of Medjugorje speaking in Medjugorje on November 2, 2015.

 

If you read a Friend of Medjugorje’s recent letter, his first public letter since his heart attack three weeks ago, you will understand why we are sharing this particular encounter tonight.

 

So, here is a Friend of Medjugorje, November 2, 2015.

 

[CLIP]

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

In the Name of Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, amen.

 

So, what I was just saying is, you’re here in history, spiritual history, that won’t go away because these messages are not given just for us, now, to change the world’s direction, but for those who will follow our witness, just like those who we follow now, in the readings, in the Gospel, of what the early Church did. Our Lady speaks in real time in our moment. It’s interesting that the first reading was from Wisdom, and I don’t know if y’all caught that at Mass. It’s incredible. It’s about, God’s going to purify His people for the time of the visitation. We need to re-look this message up for tomorrow’s talk, but the reading was really about the apparition today and everything that happened and what we did and what we’re going through and what Medjugorje’s about. And we often see this in real time from Our Lady.

 

And so, you’re in a position of being where St. Louis de Montfort wanted to be when he was talking about this time of Mary, when it would come, that he waits. He longs for, and he waited for it. And you’re in the amphitheater of history, spiritually, of something that’s so unique that it’s not equalled or surpassed except when Jesus walked the earth. And as I was saying yesterday, we never, in the presence, realize, like Peter, how big his role was. Our Lady says, “You cannot comprehend the greatness of your role.” January 25, ’87. And it’s the same way with us. You will not. The Virgin Mary, even in Her humility, and even in Her insights, even in Who She was, could not comprehend, because of humility, of how great Her Being would be, and so connected to the Trinity. She couldn’t imagine that. There’s no capability of it.

 

And so, Marija and the visionaries are the same way. Their role’s bigger than what they even realize. Marija doesn’t understand who she is. Our Lady says, “You cannot comprehend the greatness of your role.” I don’t understand who I am. You won’t understand who you are. Our Lady never says you will in this life. She only says, “You must pray to comprehend your role in God’s design.” So, everybody’s chosen, and as we spoke of yesterday, you’re unrepeatable and you’re unreplaceable, because we’re doing actions with Our Lady in the presence of Her daily apparitions that after She’s gone, we’re going to be the transmitters. We will be those who transfer what experienced to the next generation to the next generation to the last generation. Generation unto generation. The Magnificat.

 

And so, you’re living something very significant. The fact that you spent the night on the mountain is not without the rewards and things you’ll find out fifteen years from now, something happened here. I found out some things through this message today from a long time ago. It’s amazing.

 

So, this message speaks to us, and I’m going to go through the message today and how you can apply it to your life. And as you grow, you’ll see more than you see today, because your capacity will be bigger later. You don’t have the capacity to understand everything this message has for you at this moment. But you’ll grow into it, and then you’ll continue to grow, to your deathbed, from this one message as well as the rest of them.

 

So, Our Lady said this morning,

 

“Dear children, anew I desire to speak to you about love…”

 

As soon as I said that, “This is fantastic.” Because She’s going to speak to us about love, She’s giving us a lesson on love. And if there’s anything you want to know from Our Lady, it’s love. The other second subject I hope She comes up and does a sequel is, “Dear children, anew I desire to speak to you about humility.” I would love to hear everything She has to say about that because this is our safety net. This gives us everything we need where satan cannot attach himself to us, because even She speaks in this message about that, about boasting of self. And we have a lot of this in the Church. We’ll get to that point in a minute. But it’s incredible She even addresses that.

 

So, the fact She speaks to us about love is very significant. Our Lady, in 1988, the most beautiful message, we have one of our favorite messages, She gave on November 30, 1988. It was 10:30 at night, and we felt this in the room when this message was given. It wasn’t superior to another night that we felt something else. One night, we saw Marija’s voice change. We felt, in the room, the walls permeated with it. Our Lady said on that message,

 

“…I give you my love, [that you can] give it to others…”

 

And She said that as many times there in our Bedroom over the course of the time She’s appeared as She has in Medjugorje or in the 25^th messages.

 

And so, Caritas, the word, means love. And so, one thing Our Lady has put in our community is love. We are to love others before ourself. We are to give to others before ourself. So, love is something, of course, the world has perverted and what it means. And basically, it’s real simple. Love is to prefer another’s needs before your own. Mirjana said that Our Lady went Her whole life without putting Herself first. Think about that. Not one time did She prefer Her own compared to somebody else’s needs. It’s an amazing thing to live a life like that.

 

And so, on November 30, 1988, Our Lady was in the Bedroom. She says,

 

“I wish that all your life be love, only love. Everything that you do, do it with love. In every little thing, see Jesus and His example. You also do as Jesus did. He died out of love for you. You also offer all you do with love to God, even the smallest little things [in] everyday life.”

 

I can say my dad taught me love just by his actions, not by saying it. He was love in the whole neighborhood. He was Italian too. [LAUGHTER] And that’s a big achievement to be Italian and be able to transmit love instead of pushing. [LAUGHTER]

 

And so, the whole neighborhood…Everybody knew my dad, and everybody knew he was a good man. And I saw things in him that, if there was any trait he had, it was love. He died November 30^th four years ago, the day Our Lady gave this message about love. So, as soon as…We knew he died, suddenly…He was not sick, but he had a full life. And so, seeing that message with my father dying, we see Our Lady write our story. And if there’s anything we’re called to, it’s love. I’ve seen Marija sit there and say, when somebody’s getting out of hand, she says, “No. The message is love. Back down. Be more meek. Love.” It doesn’t mean we’re never to get riled up. It doesn’t mean we’re never to get upset. There’s a righteous anger. God has that. And of course, we are to have the same virtues.

 

So, Our Lady’s message, “Dear children, anew I desire to speak to you about love…” is more than the words you’re going to read here in these next days that you’ll be learning from. Our Lady said,

 

“…I have gathered you around me in the name of my Son…”

 

She comes in the name of Her Son, the name of Jesus Christ. This is an important statement She’s saying, because there’s people saying, last month, we didn’t know we were going to have a second of the month apparition. They were told to stop this. But we thought Mirjana was going to stop and not come. She did come. And last month She said that, about gathering around me. She wants this. There’s elements in the Church that doesn’t want you to gather around Her because the devil always has to come through some structure to stop it, and there’s a great effort.

 

How many people read Ten Facts? That’s about that. Higher Truth is the same thing. Both those things need to be read here because, when you get back, people will try to stop you because the devil wants to stop you from speaking. “It’s not important. The Church teaches even if they approve it, all that’s saying is it’s worthy of belief, but you don’t need it for salvation.” You don’t? Yes, Jesus Christ paid the price, but we rejected that price. The 2009 message yesterday say, “…You are rejecting me…” And She came because we’d already rejected Christ back in 1979 when we put a crucifix in a jar of pig urine and put it in Manhattan in New York as a piece of art. Did we pour out into the streets? We were righteous people then. Were we indignant? No. Not a peep. I remember hearing about it back then, nobody liked it. But we were too busy. We were mesmerized by everything and going to the moon and all the technology, and everything’s happening to us. You can’t even do a cartoon about Mohammed. Am I saying do what the Muslims do? No. But our indignation, with the bishops, should have been out in the streets, saying, “You’re not going to have this in that museum. We will not tolerate it.” And all we had to do was pour out into the streets. We could have stopped it.

 

But we’re not a convicting people anymore, and we’ve deteriorated from that point greatly down from there. That’s not love. We don’t love God. And the fact that they can do that is because we’re not a convicting people. So, we’re defeated there, and we’ve been defeated continually on the same level.

 

And so, now we have it, there’s elements in the Church saying, “You can’t gather around here. You can’t attend the apparitions. You can’t go to a conference. You can’t host a conference.” I’m not stopping. I’m not an apostate. It’s what I told you yesterday. What’s going to change with the commission? Nothing’s going to change. I know She’s there. Nobody’s going to change my mind. It’s a matter of conscience for me. You won’t stop me. I won’t be quiet. I’ll never be quiet. And I don’t want to say that in context of Peter where he says, “I’ll never betray you.” We all betray Our Lady, including me, including Marija, because we’re sinners. We betray God every time, we betray Our Lady every time, we betray Christ every time we sin. But I’m not talking about that. Our Lady said from here, a message that told us, “Thank you for not betraying my presence.” And we’ve got strong elements, “Quiet this thing down. Don’t make too much about this.” And see, we’re posturing ourselves for the commission. If Our Lady’s appearing, why do we worry about posturing ourselves about anything? She’s appearing! Peter and John got scourged because they were talking about Jesus. They got called back in after they started preaching again a second time, and they came back out and did it again. They didn’t shut up. I’m not going to shut up. Because if I do, they quiet Our Lady. They silence Her. And this is the devil’s plan.

 

So, you’ve got to learn who you’re obedient to, and you’ve got to learn when it’s required obedience to the Church. Pope Benedict himself said, “You don’t have to agree with me on just war. You don’t have to agree with me on the electric chair, the death penalty. You do have to agree with me about marriage. You do have to agree with me about abortion.” And we Catholics are so dumbed down that we think we’ve got to obey an expressed thought from a bishop or a priest. They don’t have that oppressive jurisdiction that the inserters say, “Well, the Church doesn’t teach that.” I don’t need you to come tell me what the Church teaches. I’ll look at it. And we have, I call them inserters. You know, “We can’t go to Medjugorje. We can’t do this. We can’t follow that.” I know I can. By right of Baptism, I can do that. I’m given that. And to evangelize. I can’t be stopped.

 

Francis said about six months ago, bishops speak for the Church. Priests speak for the Church. But also lay people have a right to speak for the Church. You have a right to talk about the Catholic faith and evangelize it. And no priest, no bishop, no authority can stop that, unless you’re doing heresy. But we have people that just say, “Well, my priest don’t want me to do that,” or, “My bishops don’t want me to do that.” My second bishops told me to close down the Field while Marija was there in 1988. And I stood up to him, and I said, “Bishop, you’re telling me to stop people to go praying in the Field to the God that I love and the God you love?” Three second pause. No sound. The next words came from him, he says, “You’re right.” All I had to do was stand up. You show me. Show me where I’m disobedient, and I’ll be obedient, because I love the Catholic faith. I’ll die as a Catholic. But you’re not just going to roll over me with wishes, or because this causes you problems in the diocesan office or causing you problems here. It’s your problem, not mine. The commission, what they do, that’s their problem.

 

So, when Our Lady says, “…I have gathered…”

 

“…I have gathered you around me…”

 

She didn’t just say “here.” “…around me…” That’s physically what happened at the mountain, especially you who spent the night. She wants you there, and there’s people in the Church saying, “Don’t go there.” They’re trying to tell the visionaries, “Don’t have apparitions publicly.”

 

“…I have gathered you around me in the name of my Son…”

 

Jesus Christ. Are we going to be apostates? Are we going to go back home and deny it because somebody says this in the Church or a deacon or a priest or bishop, whatever, “You can’t do this,” or “It’s not good.” “Wait until the Church approves it,” or “Go a little slower.” I’m not going slower because the world’s going faster and faster in a whirlpool! It’s time to speak. It’s time to say what we need to say and never be silent. We don’t be belligerent. We don’t be arrogant. We can be strong like I’m speaking to you, each other. Sinners, we have to do it with compassion because we want to draw them. We don’t want to alienate them. We don’t want to beat them over the head with this. But we don’t be quiet. And we’ve got the Protestants that live around us respecting us after thirty years because we have not been quiet, and we’ve got it moving our way.

 

One guy whose business was going bad in 1988 watched us for a month and half, very fundamentalist, very evangelical, which means very much against what we’re doing. But one day, he passed when it was real late. Our Lady had already had Her apparition. He goes out in the Field and puts his business card on the statue out there at the foot of Our Lady. He said he’s been covered up since that time, even thirty years later, with business. Because we lived what we believed instead of being quiet about it. “Well, I can’t bring it in to a university. I can’t bring it into the classroom. I can’t bring it into business. I can’t talk about it in the breakroom,” or whatever. You speak. Don’t be timid. Sitting on a plane, wherever you are, if you get cognition, the conversation…I try to avoid it because I speak about this all the time, so when I sit on a plane, I just want peace and quiet, open up a book and be reading. I can’t get away from it. They say something. “Where are you going?” “What do you do?” “What do you print?” Because I go to printing. I don’t even talk about Our Lady. That was pulled out of me, and then that happens, and before you know it, they’ve got mej.com or the address or the materials I pull out of my book thing, because I always have it. I never, if I ever don’t have something, I always need it. God puts me in position to cross the paths of somebody.

 

So, as you get cognition, Our Lady will use you. There’s people out there that’s been, for years, ready to cross your path that had to get to the point when they would hear you or see you or talk to you, that you’re the instrument that will introduce them to Our Lady.

 

So, Her Son is Who we’re coming to here, through Her, to be gathered around. That’s Her words. So, you either listen to somebody else and their wish not do this, “Don’t come to Medjugorje,” because you can find priest that say, “Don’t come to Medjugorje,” or, “Wait till the Church approves it.” The world will be over, banished, disappeared by that time.

 

“…around me in the name of my Son, according to His will…”

 

It’s Jesus’ will that you come to Medjugorje, that you go around Her, that you take back what you have and go to others. There on the mountain, when She says, “You’re on Tabor. I give you a blessing that you take back to your families.” You’re not supposed to do that? You’re supposed to leave it here? You’re supposed to be quiet? Garbage. Don’t let that stop you.

 

“…I desire that your faith be firm…”

 

Do you believe this? You’re going to be quiet? You’re going to be timid?

 

“…I desire that your faith be firm, flowing forth from love…”

 

So, delivery is very important. She gave a message a few months back that said, “I will show you how to transmit the message.” Because a lot of people do go home, and they’re not quiet, and they won’t shut up, and they turn people off. So you’ve got to have some savvy. You’ve got to have some class. You’ve got to know how to do that. And your wife or your children see you as a husband, taking out the garbage, which you hate, at ten o’clock at night, and you’re whistling doing that, and you’re happy, they’re going to be looking out the door, “What’s gotten into him?” They’re going to want that. So, the first way to transmit it is your own heart, that you’re happy, that you take things with patience, that you do things with love, and you serve. Love is service.

 

“…flowing forth from love…”

 

Firm faith.

 

“…Because, those of my children who understand the love of my Son and follow it, live in love and hope…”

 

Our Lady gave a message that said, those who think of war and disasters, chastisements, is not the desire She wants. What She wants, She says, is to live in hope, that you have future. We are to live that. She is our hope. And so, for us to see the world deteriorating and hopeless, because it is hopeless, but if you live in Her and what She’s saying, you’ll have hope for future.

 

Our Lady’s not here to let everything go away. The people that aren’t following, who won’t change the direction of their life, have no hope, and they have no future. And so, She wants us to be in the hope of what’s coming. And you can only position yourself by doing that by fasting and prayer and doing the four basic messages, which are prayer, fasting, peace and penance. And there’s not five messages. There’s a lot of misnomer right here about this five basic messages. They include holy Mass there. That’s not in that. Our Lady said, “…All…other messages come from these four basic [messages]…” That’s a Thursday message given through Marija. Four basic messages, all of the messages. Holy Mass came at the end of Jesus’ ministry. We can’t get there to understand the Mass and its magnitude and its greatness of there’s no greater prayer in the universe than the holy Mass unless you go through prayer, fasting, penance and peace. That gives you the wisdom, and then, you can approach it with awe and with a depth that you can live the Mass, because living the Mass is not a thirty-minute ceremony during the day that you go to. Living the Mass is a sacrifice. Living the Mass means you live it all day long. It’s part of your life. You live, when you come out of those church doors, the Mass. Live the Mass. And that’s what Our Lady addresses later on in this message.

 

“…It is a boasting of self…”

 

“I go to daily Mass.” Well, you sure aren’t living the rest of it that day.

 

And so, we have this mentality. Our Lady’s trying to change to show you, what does it mean to do that. Mass is not an attendance record. Adoration is not an attendance thing. “Well, I do this every Friday,” like I this woman said. I didn’t finish that story yesterday. So, she’s walking this way. She comes to the talk. I said, “No, you go to the talk.” People say, “Oh, well he took her from adoration.” No, I took her to adoration. After the talk…And she was reluctant to even come. She comes up to me, and she says, that night, after the talk and what she went in here and prayed out here, she says, “You were right.”

 

So, Our Lady dealt with her. I never asked her what I was right about. I didn’t take her from something. I took her to it by teaching her more about it. And that’s why Our Lady’s here to teach you about it.

 

So, don’t go by the schedule they give you at the end of Mass. This is not Medjugorje. You get out here in the fields. You get on the mountains, and you’ll learn everything you need to go back and do it in a proper way, in much more depth than if you didn’t. Break your routine. Don’t follow what you’ve done in the past because people aren’t converting, even going daily Communicants, even going to adoration.

 

I had an aunt one time. She’d go to adoration. She’d spend half her day that. I’d see her. I’d run across, because I’d go in for a visit to the Blessed Sacrament, and she said, “Oh, my house is a wreck. I’ve got to get home before your uncle gets home. I’ve got to go home.” Jesus don’t want that. Jesus wants you to get your house and do your state in life, then go visit Him if you’ve got time. [LAUGHTER] In fact, Sister Lucia said in the fifties, “Penance, penance…” Which, there was a revelation, a leaking of the secret, because in 1999, when we got the message, or 2000, when we got the third secret of Fatima released, the first words of the third secret were, “Penance, penance, penance.” Nineteen-fifty, you can’t know a secret without talking about it. These visionaries talk about things that, if you catch them, you’re real attentive, they’re giving little revelations about the future and about the Secrets. They don’t say it, but Lucy says, “The penance that God requires…” 1950. Way before the message was released. “The penance that God requires is that you do your duties in your state in life.” Amazing. Why? Because we’re so far from that, living motherhood, living fatherhood, living family, that man has ever been.

 

And so, Our Lady says,

 

“…I desire that your faith be firm, flowing forth from love. Because, those [who are] my children…understand the love of my Son and follow it, live in love and hope…”

 

You leave here living hope for the world. People will find hope in you. People come to Caritas to see us because we’re their hope. People say, “It’s enough to know that Caritas exists to keep me going.” Marija’s often relayed to us that we give her hope, because she does want to start a community and has wanted to for years. And a lot of what she sees, she has an appetite for it spiritually. She wants it. Her life and the standards of what she has to live and the circumstances has prevented that. But she’s closer and closer, and she’s wanting it now, really bad. She loves to come to Alabama because it’s like Medjugorje in the beginning days. We developed it like this place here now.

 

So, live in hope,

 

“…They have come to know the love of God. Therefore, my children, pray, pray…”

 

She didn’t say it three times. She said, “…pray, pray…”

 

“…so as to be able to love all the more and to do works of love…”

 

Protestants, especially in the South, who live there, over and over say, “It’s not by works. It’s by faith alone that you gain salvation.” She says,

 

“…all the more to do works of love…”

 

She’s contradicting what they teach and what they preach. And She goes on and says,

 

“…Because, faith alone without love and works of love is not what I am asking of you…”

 

That’s a direct contradiction of what many Protestant ministers say. “It’s by faith alone in Jesus Christ are you saved.” And Our Lady says, “It is not faith alone.” She literally says,

 

“…Because, faith alone without love and works…is not what I am asking [for]…”

 

And so, this has even affected the Church. “All I need is faith. I don’t need Medjugorje. I’ve got salvation from Jesus Christ. I don’t have to do anything else. When the Church approves it, all it does is say it’s worthy of belief.” No, this doesn’t apply anymore. This cannot be applied to Medjugorje. This place is necessary. Our Lady said in ’84 or ’85 to Ivan, had She not come, the world would have destroyed itself. You read The Red Rogue about a nuclear bomb that was sent to Hawaii, launched from the KGB, and miraculously, it melted down before it took off, blew up. The whole story’s incredible. People were sleeping, four o’clock in the morning. They were going to completely make Hawaii disappear. And it’s called, The Red Rogue. Fascinating. Get “Twenty Years of Apparitions” here. Our Lady repeatedly, over and over and over has saved us from nuclear war. And then, when Russia realized, with Reagan, that they were going to fall, all the [INAUDIBLE] The main guys, the powerhouse, were all drinking. They were at a meeting, and they said, “We’ve lost. Russia’s going to go down. All we have left is push the button.” They decided to do that. They were going to do that. And one man stood up and said, “We cannot do that even if we lose our nation.” One man. It was from Our Lady.

 

And so, when we hear Her say the world would have destroyed itself, that’s a real thing. She said in a message, “satan does not only want to destroy man and nature, but the whole planet.” So don’t think if She said this…She’s told us this. So, you and I wouldn’t be sitting here if this hadn’t happened. And you’re going to tell me this is just going to be approved and it’s just worthy of belief? We have to have these apparitions. There is no choice for God except to send Her, by Jesus, the Son, His will, to gather around Her.

 

I’m saying this to strengthen you because in here, She says, “I want you to have strength.” Because love is strength when you go back home because you’ll be assaulted or, “That’s for you. It’s not for me.” It is for you. It’s for every “you” out there, every person that’s not Catholic, every heathen, every native, whatever people, or indigenous, whoever they are. Every Muslim. This is for every person on earth. And you’re the transmitters in this time of grace, so when this is over, that we continue to conquer the world for Our Lady and triumph with it.

 

“…Because, faith alone without love and works of love is not what I am asking of you: my children, this is an illusion of faith…”

 

So, when they say, “It’s just worthy of faith,” It’s an illusion.” If they teach you, or if you’re presented with, “It’s just faith alone.” The Book of James is never quoted by Protestants especially, because it says, “It’s not by just faith alone. It’s by faith and works.” What is faith without the witness of works?

 

So, Our Lady wants action. She’s said this many times. “I don’t want your words. I want your actions.”

 

“…Because, faith alone without love and works…is not what I am asking [for]: my children, this is an illusion of faith. It is a boasting of self…”

 

This is why I got away from the group I was with. Daily Communicants. I was a daily Communicant for years with some of these guys. We’d go out to dinner as businessmen after we did this. But nobody’s changing their life. And there were some in there, “Yeah, I go to daily Mass.” What good is that? Might as well not go for but once a Sunday. To me, I was fascinated when She says,

 

“…It is a boasting of self…”

 

It’s an illusion of faith if all you have is faith and you’re not working, you’re not putting works into your life on everything you do.

 

“…It is a boasting of self. My Son seeks faith and works…”

 

She’s staying on this point.

 

“…My Son seeks faith and works, love and goodness. I am praying, and I am also asking you to pray, and to live love; because I desire that my Son, when He looks at the [heart] of all of my children, can see love and goodness in them…”

 

What is goodness? Mercy. What’s love? Mercy.

 

“…see…goodness in them and not hatred and indifference…”

 

We’ve talked about Our Lady saying this is a tired world, and the results are, our eyes grow tired, and when we look up, we look up without seeing, and we become indifferent to our neighbor, and we have an obsession with the poor and the third world and all these things, when our own neighbor, our own family, we have great suffering taking place in that. People say, “Well, I want to go to Africa.” We’ve got so much evangelization in our own neighborhood, in our own parish, that needs to be done. And what divorce and the pain…What’s worse…Poverty’s nothing compared to divorce and the breakup of the family. Those of you who’s been through that, you know what it’s like to lay your head on a pillow at night and what suffering and what torment. There’s no greater torture. It’s a horrible situation. And we’re rabied with it. And it’s gotten so bad that now we’ve given marriage to reprobates, and they define it. And nobody put the formula, how do you put this together.

 

I went to the Vatican. I met with Cardinal Trujillo who was given, by John Paul, the encyclical on the family. I met with the people around him after that. This book, right here, will save millions of marriages. It gives a formula. It shows the structure, how everything should work and save marriages, because we know. We’ve seen thousands of marriages saved through what we put out. It’s difficult, yes. But that’s the way God laid it out to be. And it works. I left it with him. I said, “If we, maybe, get two sentences in the encyclical, three sentences, that’s enough.” But the curtains of power…Cardinal Trujillo liked it, what we were talking about. The curtains of power, who puts the things together, who, through the cardinal’s name, who through the pope’s name, gets it out, just like this climate change we’ve got going on in the Vatican. Completely absurd. I disagree with it. But the curtain of power advises our leaders now because nobody goes into on their own…I don’t write anything I put out without me going through it, verifying it, and then have people going through it after I write it to make sure everything’s accurate. And I don’t let anybody tell me what I’m going to write. I do my own research, and then I have that research verified, and I let them do research.

 

I had a priest here in June, a lady who knew a priest, her priest, who read They Fired the First Shot, and he doubted a lot of things in it. So, he went everything through the book, checked everything out, sent it to his bishop. His bishop read it, and he said he didn’t find one thing wrong with that, because it’s no opinions. It’s based on truth. And his bishop told him he could start teaching this in school.

 

So, this climate change thing is a whole nother matter, and it’s absurd if you check it out. But it shows you how untruth has entered into the Church. And we are allowed to disagree with this. It’s not dogma in the sense that they’re messing with science and what they’re saying. I don’t want to go too much into it. But I’m just giving you enough to realize, just because the Church says it or it comes from it, is not something we have to accept, and not even, sometimes, we don’t have to reject. Climate change, some of you may believe in it, is an outright lie. Get Look What Happened While You Were Sleeping. It’s just laid out. It’s from the United Nations. It’s from their Bible. It’s called the Biobible. I called it the Biobible. It’s a bio thing about nature as God, basically, is what it’s about.

 

“…My Son seeks faith and works, [and] love…goodness [and] I am praying, and I am also asking you to pray, and to live love; because I desire that my Son, when He looks at [your heart] of all of my children, can see love and goodness in them and not hatred and indifference. My children, apostles of my love, do not lose hope…”

 

Because we have a world that we’re losing hope in. Where is hope? What does the world offer to us right now as far as hope? Everything, as we said yesterday, is passing. Our Lady didn’t say many things. She said everything. And so, why should we have hope that the world, as it is, the economy as it is, economics as it is, the political situation as it is, our corporations as they are, are going to last? I don’t have any hope in it. I don’t have hope in it because Our Lady’s taught that. Our hope only is what remains: the glory of God.

 

“…Everything…is passing…everything is falling apart, only the glory of God remains…”

 

Amazing. We talked about this yesterday because Our Lady talked about this today.

 

“…do not lose hope, do not lose strength. You can do this. I am encouraging and blessing you. Because all that is of this world…”

 

Not much of this world. Not many things of this world. Not even saying, “But…” She says, “…Because…”

 

“…I am encouraging and blessing you. Because all that is of this world, which many of my children, unfortunately, put in the first place, will disappear…”

 

If you believe She’s appearing. If you believe you were in the presence of the Virgin Mary, you have to believe Her words and take them to heart that everything we see that’s not of God is going to disappear, just like when Noah stepped off that ark, everything that was not of God was gone. The earth was in peace. There’s three Secrets coming. We’re in that moment.

 

So, you begin to see this is bigger than what you think. And when you leave here in a couple days, you’re going to have more capacity to even think more than what we’re hearing right now with Our Lady. This message will grow with your capacity. Every time you increase it, you’re going to learn more from it.

 

“…do not lose hope, do not lose strength. You can do this. I am encouraging and blessing you. Because all that is of this world, which many of my children, unfortunately, put in the first place, will disappear; and only love and works of love will remain and open the door of the Kingdom of Heaven…”

 

Nothing else will. Your money, your house, your lands, your children, your spouses, your family, everything has to glorify God. If it’s not, it’s not going to remain. We’re coming in purification time. We’re coming in a moment that if you’re not glorifying God through your bank account and your company, and you’re not putting on your ingredients on your Tabasco sauce if you make that in Louisiana, or whatever you produce on your computers or electronics or whatever you are, that in the ingredients you say, “God’s blessing’s the first thing.”

 

Pray before you work and when you finish your work. Why would you not do that? Are you in a position in a company to do that? Do it. We do it on our milk jugs. We’ve got a whole thing. We’ve got a whole message. Not in the wrong way. How to transmit it, Our Lady says, “…I will teach you…how to transmit it…” Are you in a position, or do you know somebody, or you’re at a company where you can say…Are you a Christian, and your president or your boss, “Why don’t we have that on there? Are we not blessed by God by this company Who takes care of us? Why would we not put that on our ingredients?” Because it’s part of the ingredients. “…pray before your work…” so that it will be blessed! Then put that on there! God’s blessing’s the first thing. Then dextrose. [LAUGHTER]

 

So, Our Lady’s got a lot to say to you with this message. This is exciting because this whole sentence,

 

“…Because all that is of this world, which many of my children, unfortunately, put in the first place, will disappear; and only love and works of love will remain and open the door [to] the Kingdom of Heaven…”

 

“…Everything…is passing…everything is falling apart, only the glory of God remains…”

 

She said this in another way, another frame, and She made it so clear that everything’s disappearing. You think I was given interpretation yesterday, and now She comes and clarifies it more? It’s going to disappear! And everybody here has investments or money or things they put into your possession. Does your house glorify God? Our house is full of, maybe, a hundred angels. And my wife collected angels. We’ve got them all over the House. Those who’ve been there in Alabama, you’ve seen it. All the way through the House, because we want people to know when they walk in, we are Godly people. We believe in it. We fail. We’re sinners like everybody else, but our house represents…As soon as you walk in our back door, “As for me and my household, we shall serve the Lord.” Joshua. It’s who we are. I can sit in my living room and do a Rosary and look at probably ten different pictures or scenes of Jesus, or whatever.

 

There’s one beautiful picture above our door, when you come for Christmas in the Field, if you come this year, look at the door when you walk in, and there’s this picture about this big, and Mary’s got Jesus right here. And She’s like this saying, “Shhh!” Because Jesus is asleep, and John the Baptist, the baby’s right there wanting to mess with Him. [LAUGHTER] It’s a beautiful picture.

 

And so, you are to represent that. Does your house glorify God when you walk in it? What is in your house not of God? Think about that. What would you go home, now, as you pray and start throwing things away? Why do you let a newspaper come into your house? It’s full of filth and garbage and trash. Or magazines. We filter everything. When mail comes into our community, we censor, and we don’t apologize for it, because a lot of junk mail comes into our place that we don’t want there and goes straight into the garbage because it is that. We put it where it’s supposed to be, the garbage that it is. That’s why we don’t have television. We don’t have just any music coming in our house. We screen everything, or we edit it out.

 

Do you know what the definition of censorship used to be? “The right of government to protect the morals of the people.” Because it’s so vital that a nation have morals and virtue for its ability to sustain itself. Without it, you’re cursed. And that’s where we’re headed. We have a cursed world, under judgment, economically, politically, all the way through. Everybody’s putting their hope in the next election in the United States of America, for what? It’s passing. Nothing’s going to change. The only thing we can do in the next election is, who do we want to elect that’s going to crash-land the plane the best? That’s what we need to look for because we’re going to crash. And I wish some of the candidates would say that. “Listen, I’m not up here to say we’re going to fix the economy, we’re going to fix anything. All I’m here is going to guide the plane down as soft as I can. There’s going to be a lot of casualties because we’re going down.” I would vote for that person in a minute because that’s the truth, and you would recognize that. And we know that. We want to deny it. I want to deny it. I want things to continue. But it’s going to disappear. She said that today. And that’s not lying or exaggerated.

 

So, I want to back up because this is worth repeating and repeating to you.

 

“…I am encouraging and blessing you…”

 

In this midst of going down, She’s going to encourage us. And She’s blessing us, because people that’s wanting to stay with the world and their corporation and their bank accounts, what they’re doing, She’s not, because they’re rejecting Her. They’re not accepting the blessing. They’re not even acknowledging Her apparitions, or, “I don’t need that.”

 

Kyle and Michelle got married, and this priest was with them for three days in Savannah. And then, after three days of being with them, knowing who we were, he said, “I’ve been to Medjugorje.” We said, “Why didn’t you tell us that?” He said, “Well, I just didn’t.” We’re doing this, and we’re fasting, and he said, “No, I don’t fast.” “But you went to Medjugorje. Why don’t you want to fast?” He said, “Because I don’t want to fast.” So, he had to push Medjugorje away. Amazing thing.

 

So, don’t think that you can’t be a good person, or even a priest, without rejecting what Our Lady’s saying. He didn’t want to fast, so he didn’t want to follow Medjugorje. Our Lady just told us on the 25^th that, “You grow hard to my call.” So, you can be a lay person. You can be a priest. You can be anybody. Are you going to accept everything She says, or some of what She says? Are you going to change the direction of your life, or just go ninety degrees?

 

“…I am encouraging and blessing you. Because all that is of this world, which many of my children, unfortunately, put in the first place, will disappear…”

 

What’s in the first place that’s above God instead of God in the first place? Many things in your lives. You start evaluating it, and you’re honest to yourself, you’re going to see this has to go. I’m telling you, one thing that’s going to disappear is all this cell phone garbage, all these computers. This is going away. There is too much concentration on this little idol that’s taking up a prayer time and conversation, anti-social time, being indifferent to your neighbor, that…Could that be glorifying God? Does your use of cell phones glorify God. “Oh, yeah. I use it to look up mej.com.” It’s going away. We’ve never put stock in mej.com is going to be there forever. In fact, you need to download everything on mej.com. You can. Get archival paper. Get archival ink. If it’s a stack that big, you’re going to want to go back to this material later. It’s important that you have everything in a library. Don’t depend on it on that screen. It will disappear one day because this thing’s not serving and glorifying God. People say, “Oh, well, evangelize…” We started giving away the T.V., and we wanted it, so we just watched religious programs. But then there were another hundred stations come on. They had many more other things and brought in whole things. We threw that away. So, television doesn’t do for good what it does for evil. If I stand on this table, and I try to pull you up on it, if it was bigger, you can pull me down, even if I’m much stronger than you, because it’s easier to pull somebody down than up. Religious broadcasting does not do what evil does in its broadcasting. That’s why Hollywood’s so powerful and so much money around it. And with religious, there may be money around it on the T.V. shows, but still, it doesn’t do the same results. I don’t want to watch a Rosary on T.V. I want to walk around doing a Rosary.

 

My mission is to follow Our Lady. Our Lady says, “Renounce television, especially bad programs.” But what do you do when you renounce something? You do an exorcism. You get rid of it. Renounce the devil. There’s nothing more destructive than television to man, across cultures, bringing everything into the same, everybody, fashions, etc. All this is going to disappear. Why not adjust your life now in the time of grace, so you can be living what you’re supposed to be living and the way you’re supposed to be living, and gain the cognition while She’s walking with you? Because you’re going to have to do it later without Her, and it’s going to be very, very painful.

 

“…put in the first place, will disappear; [the] only love and works of love will remain and open the door of the Kingdom of Heaven. I will wait for you at this door…”

 

What door? The door that’s opened by love and works. How much time do you waste on these little idols that you could be doing something for the glory of God? Or your life be glorifying God? Not with a trumpet. Not blowing, “Here we come. We’re going to do this.” Don’t let your left hand know what the right hand’s doing. You do it for God’s glory, not to be seen, if you want to be rewarded. The Scriptures says that. You invite somebody that can come back and invite you back for me. You’re repaid. I will repay you back. I want my payment back from Our Lady.

 

“…I will wait for you at this door. At this door…”

 

The third time,

 

“…I desire to welcome and [to] embrace all of my children. Thank you!”

 

Incredible.

 

Marija just said, She once, on Her April 1^st birthday, She said Our Lady kissed her right here. I said, “What did it feel like?” She said, “It felt like something you’ve never felt before.” I said, “Well, what did it feel like.” She says, “It went through me. It went through my whole being through my very soul. I felt it in my soul. I felt this kiss.” She said, “I didn’t want to wash my face the rest of my life.” She felt the warmth of Our Lady’s lips. Our Lady’s in the flesh, transfigured.

 

We found a note in Marija’s Bible. A guy who could read Croatian, a friend of mine, back in the ‘80s, and it just melted me when I found out because after we had her Bible read at our house, we got down here coming on the trail, halfway down to where the trail is, and he told me. We stopped, and he started telling me what it said. And Our Lady said, She relayed to Marija…Marija wrote down the message from Our Lady to her, personally. It says, “Marija, it is very difficult for Me not to take you in My embrace right now. It’s very difficult for Me not to have you, to keep you on the earth, that your life of love is such that I love you so much that I want to take you now.”

 

[PILGRIMS]

 

Wow.

 

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

We couldn’t believe it. Couldn’t believe it. And I tell you, Marija, in those days, was a walking saint, almost above the ground, because she didn’t have any obligations to her husband, to children. She would go three days without eating. She slept on a pile of carpets behind our house above the washing machine because she had guests in the house. And we would go out there and talk late at night. And you don’t even know the life of penance every day, every moment, and the joy she had. It’s hard to say…She was a walking saint. She still is. But those days were so incredible. And I can see what Our Lady meant when She said that. And so, Our Lady desires the same thing of you.

 

We have, in the sixties, we heard all these things come up to us. How many people have listened to May Queen? It’s about a song in the, maybe, seventies, but it’s incredible. The things that made us fall back in the sixties and the seventies are things that, step-by-step, loosen up society, and we went from one sin to the next to the next to sin. And the very thing people lost their faith over, now is reversing it, because if you listen to the music now, or the garbage…It’s not even music. Rap music has nothing to do with music. God is order. God is symphonic. And when you hear this stuff, it has nothing to do with that.

 

But what’s amazing, my wife and I had our fortieth anniversary last January 18^th, and so, we found a bunch of old records we had and we listened to them to see if we could censor some of them or whatever. Well, what we were shocked at is those things that loosened everybody up and started getting away from religious music into some of the pop music, which brought us down, is actually an elevation, now, because you won’t hear it now, some of the songs, because where society was at that point had to be run down. We’re so low now, to hear it, it’s talking about relationships and staying together. And it’s an amazing thing.

 

And so, as soon as I…Our Lady is amazing. She’s so alive in our lives. She’s so alive in my life and in the Community. And She just puts things together, even some of our radio programs and what we do.

 

So, as soon as I read, “…I desire to speak to you about love…” Immediately, She put something in my heart. She says goodness and God’s love. And so, I immediately told Joan. I said, “Joan, I want you to download this song.” And I listened to the words. And I could not believe it. It’s so…I mean…It’s unbelievable. And it’s the message today. Because we have to pay. We have to pay for the sacrifice that’s required of us, to love. And we’re supposed to love our spouses. We’re supposed to love our children. We’re supposed to love everybody, our neighbor. And what does that mean for Our Lady, She, Our Lady, to have in our lifetime, Her love? And it’s very amazing when you hear something from 1969 that so much addresses, in the modern time, the message we heard today.

 

[SONG: “LOVE CAN MAKE YOU HAPPY”]

Wake up in the morning with the sunshine in your eyes. And the smell of flowers blooming fills the air. Your mind is filled with the thoughts of a certain someone – that you love. Your life is filled with joy when she is there.

 

Love can make you happy if you find someone who cares to give a lifetime to you and who has a love to share.

 

If you think you’ve found someone you’ll love forevermore, then it’s worth the price you’ll have to pay (pay). To have, to hold’s important when forever is the phrase that means the love you’ve found is going to stay.

 

Love can make you happy if you find someone who cares to give a lifetime to you and who has a love to share.

 

La-love, la-love

 

Love can make you happy. Love can make you happy. Love can make you happy. Love

 

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

We were in Florida. We were on vacation with Our Lady. We actually had been down there, and actually, this was the second vacation with Our Lady. One of them we went on, barely got to the beach, and the apparition time was coming. We didn’t get to the house we were going to stay at, and Marija and several people in the Community…We had half the Community with us. We jumped out real quick to go. The sun’s shining and everything. We’d go onto the beach. We have the apparitions, and we knock over some big rocks because we had to go over a sea wall and half the people almost got killed doing it real quick to get there. And Our Lady appeared, and She said, “Now that you’re on vacation, when you pray, I will come.” You can’t believe the joy we had, the love that we had for this. We would come in when it got hot at twelve o’clock. We didn’t have to meet a time. We just prepared. The girls would do up their hair in bows for Our Lady. We spent three hours preparing for the apparition, not just in prayer, just arranging flowers and sea oats. We’d go through the whole house we rented. They had big starfish. Only twelve were in there. The number was there. I mean, everything. And Our Lady just writes a story with our life. She’s entered into our life. Our life is seamless with Our Lady. She wants that with you. You can get it.

 

But we were on another vacation with Our Lady. I say with Our Lady. Marija was with us, and there was a smaller group of our family. So, we’re at Sea World, and Shamu was going to do the last night something after they closed. Well, Our Lady said the night before She would appear at ten o’clock. So, we knew we couldn’t get there, but we wanted so badly to go in there to be there at the close, because they lock the gates at ten. Her apparition’s going to be at ten. So, we decided we’d go there in the parking lot and just see if we could get in. We knew we couldn’t. And so, we got there at 9:30, and so, it got to where it was 9:20, and then we were going to do the Rosary to match up. It would take us twenty minutes or so to do the Rosary.

 

So, we started Rosary at twenty till ten. And we knew it was impossible for that to happen. So, we start the Rosary, do the Creed we do the Father, we do three Hail Mary’s. And all of us are standing at the van, and all of the kids are just like…Our Lady’s first. The apparitions, if we don’t get in there to see the extra show behind the scenes and the fireworks with Shamu at night time and all the lights, we just don’t get it.

 

So, we’re praying the Rosary, and we start the first decade, and we keep on going, and everybody starts poking everybody in the van all the way back to the back. I was sitting in the back. “Marija’s in ecstasy! Marija’s in ecstasy! Marija’s in ecstasy!” Our Lady appeared in the first decade. And then She left, and it was over, and Joshua, my son, says, “She’s so cool!” [LAUGHTER] The doors opened and we ran inside. [LAUGHTER]

 

Our Lady, She cares about our life. I mean, this is hard to believe. She’s the only Being that can penetrate into the Trinity, and how much She cares for us. But that was so joyful for us, just so much love. And I can tell you today that this song was such a joy to hear it, because She’s so cool. [LAUGHTER] There’s fifteen times She says “love,” and on this song, it’s fifteen times, [CHOKES UP] the word “love” said. And I started counting, and I started thinking, “This will be unbelievable if it’s in there.” And it is.

 

So, we’ll play it again, and you read the words because it refers to “she.” It talks about paying the price. And you apply it to Her and what you’re doing here.

 

[JOAN]

He hadn’t read the whole message. He just read the first two lines. He starts humming the song, and he says, “Love, by Mercy.” He said, “Joan, look that song up right now.” And so…And then it just unfolded like that. And so, halfway through, then, he’s like, “Start counting how many times ‘love’ is in this song.” And this was probably twenty minutes or thirty minutes before he even came out here to talk to y’all. So, this was, like, going on, trying to get it all put together. So, it was pretty remarkable. And then he had…

 

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

So, I don’t know if you could catch it, but the name of the band is Mercy. And then She was talking about goodness. And the message is really about mercy. So, read with the song. Apply it to Our Lady and then the sacrifice of what love means. And we found a lifetime of love with Our Lady. She’s calling us to this. And so, for this, there’s just no way, instantly, when I started this, that She said this fifteen times, and then it’s fifteen times in the song with the title.

 

I was praying this morning, and at 7:30, I decided to go ahead and go up the mountain, which is what I was going to do, because I like to go up behind everybody and get by myself and pray. As I’m going up there, I’m looking at, walking up the trail, and the sun is so much in my eyes, and I’m thinking about it, and it’s even distracting me from Rosary, with the sun. “I should have brought sunglasses.” And I started looking at people. Is the sun in their eyes like that? And how can they see? Because you couldn’t hardly see walking up the trail. All the way up there, the sun was on my mind, about, “This is in my eyes.” I don’t even know why. And then I go around, and then I go right above everybody in the woods, and I’m looking down in the balcony of everybody looking up, and I said, “They can’t see anything because the sun’s in their eyes now,” because it was to my back. And then, look at the first line of the song. I’m telling you, She really will enter into your life, and there’s things come up…She said, “I will give you miracles in your everyday life. Just live my messages.” And that’s how much She’s trying to get our attention for us. If you don’t believe that, this happened in Dubrovnik with May Queen. Listen to this when you get home. Listen to all the radio shows. Read everything. You’ve got to read. You’ve got to change what you’re looking at. You’ve got to change what you’re paying attention to. You’ve got to pay the price. The song says that. “Pay, pay” twice. Our Lady said, “…pray, pray…” twice today. She wanted this song, us to connect today, sitting here, so much of this song, that it’s always “…pray, pray, pray…” The song says, “Pay, pay,” for the price of love. Pray, pay. It’s amazing. So, She even matched this. It’s not a coincidence. And Our Lady, you’ll see this in your life, repeatedly, and you’ll know She’s near. “…I am watching…you and am with you whenever you think of me…”
