Welcome to Radio WAVE with a Friend of Medjugorje.

 

Tonight, a very special feature.

 

Two days ago, a Friend of Medjugorje spoke to the pilgrims that were gathered here for the Five Days of Prayer. We’re going to share that with you tonight. It is a deep spiritual lesson for all of us, and especially as we enter into Christmas, and particularly the Nine Day Christmas Novena, which just begins in a couple of days from now. This encounter with a Friend of Medjugorje is especially important for us to listen to, to learn the lessons that he teaches, and to make it a part of our life.

 

Here is a Friend of Medjugorje at Caritas of Birmingham, December 10, 2024.

 

[THEME MUSIC]

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Our Lady is looking for people to be marketing Her messages, and even all the people in Medjugorje could be doing a lot more. She wants it to be your life—everything. Everything you do is propagating these messages.

 

We are not doing, in the Medjugorje world, a good marketing. Our Lady, She’s coming, She’s marketing Her Son and God the Father. It’s pitiful to the people coming to Medjugorje. They get a high, and they still go the ways. Our Lady doesn’t want devotion to Her, and every site She’s gone to, the devil has said, “Come here for devotion.” he hates it. Literally hates it. But he takes that because he triply hates conversion.

 

We were never going to let this place be a place of devotion to Our Lady. It is for conversion. That’s what She’s seeking. She did it in Fatima, Guadalupe, two million people. The Franciscans could not do it, Guadalupe. And then She appears, two million. They converted. But if you go down there to Mexico—I’ve been there several times—it’s a circus. Shops, souvenirs, and nobody is converting. They’re doing their rosaries. They’re praying. Medjugorje is the last time for what’s coming.

 

August 25, 2019. There’s four things She says.

 

“…Pray, work…witness…[and] love…that it may be good for you here on earth…”

 

And it hasn’t been going good for us because we still, we’ve got a lot of places, a lot of things we’re doing. We have to change, and we’re not. Actually, from 1981 till now, to here, Medjugorje has weakened because they changed the directions for many things about it.

 

Our Lady said, in the same message, the four things,

 

“…the Kingdom of Heaven that it may be good for you here on earth…”

 

It’s not been going good for us on the earth.

 

She says, if you do that, pray, work, witness and love,

 

“…God will bless [you and] your effort a hundred fold…”

 

That’s a lot.

 

“…you will be witnesses among peoples, souls of unbelievers [and they] will feel the grace of conversion…”

 

Medjugorje is conversion. And people are slipping…She wants devotion, and that’s nice. But that’s not the first thing. She’d rather have somebody just doing a devotion, praying, talking everything…She wants first conversion. She says…You may be saying, “I’ve been doing this.” Our Lady says you,

 

“…will feel the grace of conversion and Heaven will be grateful for your efforts and [your] sacrifices…”

 

She didn’t say for your devotion. Have you done this?

 

“…Little children, witness with the Rosary in hand…”

 

Are you carrying it at the grocery store? The doctor’s office? Wherever you go, have the Rosary in your hand.

 

They make these tennis shoes, and then everybody wants one. They spread it. They market these things. Could be a shirt, a fashion. And everybody, it spreads. If every Medjugorje person had the Rosary in their hand, wherever they are, grocery store…

 

When Our Lady said that, I went to France, and I had the Rosary in my hand, and the French, an old lady was coming to me, and I saw her see me just holding the Rosary, and she grimaced, and she sat off into the curve, and it was shocking. They don’t want to see that.

 

We, I would say, have been in the Medjugorje system of what they do for the Franciscans, everybody, is not marketing Our Lady good. And the Bible says, “Do like they do, the worldly. They promote all that.” It’s a calling, and your whole day is marketing Our Lady and talking to somebody. You can’t just stop them, “Hey, stop. I’m going to tell you about the Virgin Mary.”

 

Villaggio Colafrancesco, it is incredible. We are over the wall, nonbelievers, Protestants, Catholics, they are open. That’s not about money. You go to people, to their stomach. They like the gelato, and we don’t make money off of that. But we have the graces through the witness.

 

The world, they do good marketing. That’s why I write about sports, money, whatever else, everything we have, all the politics, war, machinery, farming, all my books and my writing is about that. And we’re successful out here. We catch a lot of fish.

 

You want to hear somebody market something? You can’t read this, but I’m going to read it to you right here. You see what it is:

 

“If your grandfather hadn’t worn this, you wouldn’t exist.”

 

[LAUGHTER]

 

Smart! Very, very…

 

This is what I do with the messages. You can pass this.

 

My whole day, my nights, waking up, what can I do is to get the messages into people’s pockets.

 

What we have, hatred, hatred doesn’t just start. It’s by judging and jealousy, and ends with murder. In the consecration of the two hearts, Our Lady says,

 

“By means of Your Sacred Heart, grant us that all men love one another. Cause hatred to disappear from among men.”

 

Our Lady has called you to be a commercial and marketing everything. How can you do it? What do you do? How do you do it?

 

You can ask the Community, when we’re traveling, wherever it is, I’m getting to people, over and over and over, sit and talking to them, and then turn around, something, I talk about, “Boy, the world is messed up, isn’t it?” If we’re in line or something.

 

“Yeah.”

 

And then you sneak right in to what’s happening, the Virgin Mary.

So, what I want to talk about, the world is filled with hate, and it doesn’t stay just hate. There is steps that get to that.

 

April 25, 1995

“…If you do not first love God, then you will neither be able to love neighbor nor the one you hate…”

 

November 25, 1991

“…pray that from your heart would flow a fountain of love to every person both to the one who hates you…”

 

And I’ve got a lot of people that do hate me since I started this, and I kill them with love. And you,

 

“…both to the one who hates you and to the one who despises you…”

 

April 12, 1987

“…If you hate, you lose a lot…”

 

Is there people that you hate or you don’t like, and you won’t talk to them, and you make yourself a victim of them?

 

“…Dear children, love makes great things…”

 

January 25, 2023

“Dear children! Pray with me for peace, because satan wants war and hatred in hearts and peoples…”

 

What’s all these shootings about? It’s hate. Bad family and their jealousy. That’s where it starts—judging.

 

June 25, 2022

“…I am with you also in these days when satan is fighting for war and hatred. Division is strong and evil is at work in man as never before…”

 

Among everybody, among Christians.

 

February 25, 2022. Our Lady says,

“…Help me with prayer, little children, that satan may not prevail. his power of death, hatred, and fear has visited the earth…”

 

January 25, 2021

“…Yearn for Heaven; and in Heaven there is no sorrow or hatred…”

 

I’m doing something a little bit different than what I normally do. Jealousy is a mortal sin because it doesn’t stay jealousy. It comes and despises from there, and it goes to be a victim from the people or the person you don’t like or what they do. It’s a mortal sin.

 

The phases from there goes to the next thing in murder, reputations of people, being against God.

 

We have always, on the radio shows, he lets him read some things. So, we’re going to pass this book, and you’ll start at page seven. You can listen to something, but reading with it, as I said, is more deeper. So, I had him do this last night.

 

So, we’ll go through this. We’re going to play this, so follow this, listen to it, and go deeper into it and get more out of it. This is for you, where you’re going to change what you see and how deep this is.

 

I didn’t read out of this little book. I just started writing. I don’t think about writing. I wrote these things, five phases walking recklessly going into perdition.

 

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

 

May the Holy Spirit descend on you and all of us.

 

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

 

[NARRATOR]

JUDGING: FIVE PHASES WALKING RECKLESSLY INTO PERDITION, by a Friend of Medjugorje.

 

Our Lady gave a very critical message on May 2, 2013.  It should be read with deep reflection and prayer to the Holy Spirit for the writing following the message.

 

“Dear children! Anew, I am calling you to love and not to judge. My Son, according to the will of the Heavenly Father, was among you to show you the way of salvation, to save you and not to judge you. If you desire to follow my Son, you will not judge but love like your Heavenly Father loves you. And when it is the most difficult for you, when you are falling under the weight of the cross do not despair, do not judge, instead remember that you are loved and praise the Heavenly Father because of His love. My children, do not deviate from the way on which I am leading you.  Do not recklessly walk into perdition. May prayer and fasting strengthen you so that you can live as the Heavenly Father would desire; that you may be my apostles of faith and love; that your life may bless those whom you meet; that you may be one with the Heavenly Father and my Son.  My children, that is the only truth, the truth that leads to your conversion, and then to the conversion of all those whom you meet – those who have not come to know my Son – all those who do not know what it means to love. My children, my Son gave you a gift of the shepherds. Take good care of them. Pray for them. Thank you.”

 

Our Lady tells us today, clearly, do not judge.

 

Evan Todd, a fifteen-year-old sophomore, went routinely to school one April morning. His routine was like that of millions of school students across the land that did the same. Two of his classmates also did the same—Dylan and Eric. Todd was in the library with other students when Dylan and Eric walked in.

 

At this point, Dylan and Eric began yelling at the students.  The students, already having heard blasts going off before the two boys had walked in, were hiding under the desks. Todd was one of them. The desk he hid under was suddenly blasted with a shot gun and he was wounded. Dylan and Eric had begun their deadly rampage before entering into the library. It would take seven minutes before the two of them would find Todd. During that long period of time, the two killer students went throughout the library.

 

They found Kyle, 16, under a desk and killed him. They fired the shotguns at a table injuring three more students. In another line of desks, they killed 14-year-old Steven, and then injured another student, a 17-year-old named Kasey. They then came upon Cassie hiding under a table. They asked her, “Do you believe in God?” She closed her eyes for a moment as though in prayer and then answered, “Yes,” at which time they killed her. They taunted the rest of the students. The killers then discovered three more students who were athletes. Two were killed while the other pretended he was dead, escaping death by lying in the blood of his friends. After wounding several more students, they then killed 18-year-old Lauren. They had shot 22 people thus far. No one received mercy. It was at this point that they discovered Todd, already wounded, who had moved from the desk he had been hiding behind. They put a gun to Todd’s head and taunted him, saying, “Why should we let you live?”  Todd answered them by saying, “I’ve always been good to you.” In a small moment of hesitation, the killers then backed off, left Todd, and went on shooting and setting off bombs for the next 32 minutes.  Finally, when swat teams began arriving, the two killers ended their lives. Our Lady said:

 

“…Do not recklessly walk into perdition…”

 

But Our Lady tells us not to judge. Does Our Lady also mean false judging will recklessly walk us into perdition?

 

In the early 1990s, during the Balkan War, a young Croatian man who had been a guide in Medjugorje from the early days, was captured and put in jail by Serbian soldiers. He was beaten, front teeth kicked out, and like all the prisoners, had to bow on his knees with head to the ground never being allowed to look up at his prison guards. If you looked up, you got kicked in the face.  One day, the guards decided it was time to kill the Croatian. They typically would take the prisoner out, kill him and dump him somewhere. Another Serb, hearing the guards’ plans, relayed he wanted the pleasure of killing him. They said okay and the soldier took his prey, bound and blind-folded, and put him in a car; the last trip for this guide from Medjugorje. The Serb stopped the car after awhile and got out to carry out the evil deed. Was the guide cursing the Serb? Was he filled with hatred before he would be killed? How, before such a situation, could the one condemned not judge the one who was about to become his murderer? Could we judge what was in the heart of the guide, being that we did not talk to him before he was to die?

 

Our Lady tells us not to judge. Is this even logical in such a situation with such a clear telling of the physical circumstances? When the Croatian guide was pulled from the car and unbound, he knew not to look up, having repeatedly in the past been kicked in the face when he did so. Yet, this is exactly what he was told to do. He was, however, reluctant to obey. Was he going to be kicked when he looked up? Was he going to be kicked if he didn’t obey? Was it another game to taunt him to have his mouth kicked in? Being told to look up, he eventually did so. He was shocked at what happened next. The soldier told him he knew him from going to school with him. The guide barely recognized him and could hardly remember that he had gone to school with this Serbian soldier. The soldier had been keeping an eye on him in prison, trying to find a way to help him. When the decision was made to end his life, he feigned wanting to kill him to have the opportunity to help him escape.  The guide is alive today.

 

Medjugorje visionary, Marija, asked Our Lady about the writings of mystic Maria Valtorta, The Poem of the Man-God.  Our Lady told Marija, “One can read them.” In these writings, Jesus tells Peter:

 

“…it is not right to judge our brothers, because every man has his faults and his faculty of knowing and judging is so limited that seven times out of ten his judgment is wrong…” (Poem of the Man-God, Vol. 4, pg. 190)

 

Did the Medjugorje guide judge he who would kill him? Or did he forgive him as Jesus said from the Cross, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” At least a few on Calvary really thought they were killing a guilty insurgent, a criminal named Jesus. Would they not be judged for killing the Messiah?  We do not know what was in the hearts of the two murderers of Columbine High School in Colorado. Why did they turn out to be such heinous murderers? Are they the only ones responsible for what they did? Certainly, they are responsible for their actions! But do we know if they are solely, the only ones guilty before God? What kind of parents did they have? Did they ever experience the love of God, which comes through the parents first and the witness of others? Were they odd and out-casted?  Did today’s educational systems undermine their belief in the existence of God and eternal life, take their hope away, lead them to believe that there are no consequences to their actions outside of this world that we live in? Our Lady said:

 

May 2, 2013

“…live as the Heavenly Father would desire; that you may be my apostles of faith and love; that your life may bless those whom you meet…the truth…leads to your conversion, and then to the conversion of all those whom you meet – those who have not come to know my Son – all those who do not know what it means to love…”

 

Killers Dylan and Eric did not know what it means to love. They were merciless that horrible day at Columbine High School in Colorado. But even in their evil, even in their mindless rampage, a tiny sliver of love remembered, affected the most beastly hearts of killers in action. That’s how powerful love can be. But, what love? It is love to show good to someone.  Todd responded to the question put to him by the murderers, “Why should we let you live?” Todd had recalled some things he had done in his past that was done in the name of good to these loner outcasts or whatever they were to their fellow students.  Todd responded, “I’ve always been good to you.” That good, ‘remembered’ by those he did good to, spared his life. Did the guide show goodness to the Serb in high school, good enough to be remembered that the Serb risked his own well-being to allow the guide to escape? Our Lady wants us to realize that goodness, which is love, always comes back to you. In the Redwood Forest in California, in the midst of these giant trees, stands a national park sign which in part relays that even the most beastly man cannot stand in front of these giant redwoods and not be in awe, moved and gentled by them. Our Lady said:

 

“…the Heavenly Father would desire; that you may be my apostles of faith and love…”

 

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

 

You are the giant redwoods, the apostles, that are to gentle the beastly world, as you encounter hearts one by one, who come across your path, be they the Dylans, Erics or some like the Serbian soldier. Our Lady said today, to you:

 

“…that your life may bless those whom you meet…”

 

Our Lady has relayed that when we pray for nonbelievers we are praying for our own future. Did not Todd’s action of always being good to the two future killers, and the guide’s past positive experience in school come back to them? Yes, but what of those who died in such situations? The good still rebounds.  Cassie must have experienced unimaginable joy that will continue for eternity from her one action of goodness in saying “yes” after being asked the question, “Do you believe in God?”  How much good has come and will come from Cassie’s good witness of that one word of hers; that “yes” said for all of us? Good expels evil. Evil expands evil when not confronted with good. You giants, the apostle redwoods, are called to love when hated; even when those who judge you, judge you wrongly.

 

It is only natural that evil would oppose such a force of good that Our Lady’s messages bring to so many, through the graces the Heavenly Father has blessed the world with in this special time in which we live. satan wants us to judge and condemn and this is often grounded in jealousy. When a circumstance deems one to judge someone, he should bear in mind Leviticus 19:15, “In righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.” When one is condemning another because of things they themselves are jealous of, the judgment, in essence, arises from hatred. It becomes a tree which grows until it produces deadly fruit.  Jealousy is the root, satan its soil, hatred the trunk, disillusionment the branches, misperception which becomes perception the leaves, and victimization the final fruit. How is this to be understood? How does the one who is jealous end up the victim?  How does the one who is envied become the persecutor and oppressor of the one who is envious of him?  Jealousy becomes hatred, hatred becomes disillusionment, disillusionment becomes misperception, and misperception which metamorphoses to false perception becomes victimization.

 

Jealousy

Hatred

Disillusionment

False perception

Victimization

 

The one who envies another without checking the jealousy, in the end will see himself as a victim.  How?  By his inability to judge correctly according to what God sees. The Bible teaches how evil, jealousy is and that it begins with making a judgment on another. Jealousy will not stay in the character of jealousy.  It ferments in the heart if not removed and will build into resentment, where one will come to despise the one they are jealous of, which will eventually metamorphose into the anger of hatred. The Bible teaches us that hatred causes one to become blind. Why? Because one who hates has no grace. One who has no grace can no longer see truth. For the one whose jealousy metamorphoses into hatred, at best, truth is blurred. At worst, one becomes completely blind in his discernment as he can no longer discern truth on his own. Our Lady said:

 

July 31, 1986

“…hatred gives birth to dissensions and does not regard anyone or anything…”

 

Every individual wants to believe he is in truth. If one hates, he will bend things to his own way of thinking, without being able to distinguish what is truth or what is falsehood. This personal truth is called relative truth; a false realization of truth vs. divine truth. Divine truth is beyond the thoughts and opinions of that which flows from the human part of man. We gain divine truth through the Holy Spirit through praying and studying Sacred Scripture, Our Lady’s messages, God’s creation, the lives of the saints, Church tradition, etc. When one arrives from jealousy to hatred he will begin seeking his own truth apart from God. “Judging” through the lens of hatred, hatred that causes blindness in the person, will lead the person to become disillusioned. Again, the path taken is via jealousy, to hatred, to disillusionment. Anger has been the fuel at every stage.  The one in the state of disillusionment grapples to see what he cannot see as he is blinded to what is truth. Being humble, rejecting jealousy in one’s heart, repenting, realizing jealousy is destructive to one’s clarity of vision of seeing what is good in every one, one can arrive back at grace, at divine truth which is love. Not to reject the jealousy in one’s heart and repent, one will go through disillusionment, not knowing what is true, false, good or bad. All will blur with all sorts of beliefs, judgments and ways which will prevail over divine truth.

 

In this state, the human desire, not to be in disillusionment, results in one coming out of the phase of disillusionment and arriving at a false perception that is adopted, so to be able to hold on to his own relative or personal truth—in order to perceive what is right in his own eyes. The 4th phase, then, is grounded in misperceiving, thereby adopting a false perception, via jealousy, hatred and disillusionment. Not having a true perception leads to bad judgments of what is right and what is wrong. Many people walk the earth today who have clung to their false perceptions of what is truth according to their own relative truth, which is influenced by others, bad doctrines, faulty educational systems, a bad family life, a bad marriage, a bad society, etc. Not having the grace to see, blinded by hatred, driven by anger that was birthed by jealousy, one comes from disillusionment to a warped perception.

 

Phase 4 is the pivotal point of reversing the situation. Once beyond this, one then will begin to falsely perceive that they are victims of those they are jealous of. The one who is jealous is wronged in some way by the one who they envy when, in truth, the opposite is the case. This was Jesus’ problem with the Sanhedrin and Doctors. Jealousy, because of all the people they watched following Jesus, turned them to hatred, so much so that they could not even see real miracles as from God because they saw them through their own eyes, blinded by hatred. They then became so disillusioned, they did not know what to do. They deceived themselves in their disillusionment, coming up with a misperception. Jesus became a demon to these great doctors of the Sanhedrin who falsely thought of themselves as His victims!   Jesus became the persecutor, the tormentor of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Yet, as we all know, it was Jesus who was the victim.  Those who arrive at this 5th phase, however, do not see their own jealousy as its source, rather they see and ‘believe’ their state is a result of wrongs that others committed against them and they become in their own eyes the victim, filled with anger.  They judged. In this case, the Sanhedrin judged very badly to their own detriment.

 

Judgments, when based in jealousy that form in one’s own mind, independent of knowing or even wanting all the facts, never end in good fruit. Jealousy will cause a judgment in one’s own mind to distort the facts to justify the condemnation. Man must make judgments to decide the penalty for various crimes, violations of law, etc., but to judge a heart is a different matter. It involves having to gather information on the reason one acted, the way he acted, when and with whom he acted, how he acted, the circumstances surrounding the action, etc. This does not mean man cannot condemn sin when there are evil efforts to try to rearrange marriage, etc., passing laws to normalize sinful abominable behavior. Man can oppose this with all his being in that he has the responsibility and obligation to protect society. However, man does not have the capacity to have all the facts or know the organic spiritual disease a soul may have.  Much of the make-up of man that would shed light on the “whys” are known only to God, and only God can judge what is in the heart, and only God can judge the acquittal of the soul or its condemnation. Jesus assured the Pharisee that tax collectors and prostitutes would enter Heaven before they would.

 

Matthew 21:31

“I tell you the truth, corrupt tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom of God before you.”

 

Our Lady also wants us to know that even if our judgment is correct, we must not discount that in addition to one who may not be good, they may respond towards conversion with love from us, more than they would by being judged by us for their sin.  In many ways Our Lady telling us, “…I am calling you to love and not judge…,” can be difficult to understand. It can best be understood in what Our Lady Herself has done through a situation with Medjugorje visionary, Marija’s son, Francesco. Marija’s second son, Francesco, did something bad. He was supposed to take a report home from school, have his mother, Marija, sign it and then return it back to the teacher. All of which he did except when he brought it to the teacher, the signature on it was not Marija’s. Francesco had forged his mother’s name. The teacher condemned his action and showed it to Marija, who, being the visionary, was not very happy to see what her son had done.  Marija, and Francesco’s dad and brothers were all not happy with him.  This was on a Friday afternoon. The next day was Francesco’s birthday. Of course, Francesco wasn’t happy. He was brooding and dreaded now going before Our Lady in the apparitions.

 

For the birthdays of Marija’s children, Our Lady never gives any kind of salutation or any kind of special recognition during the apparition to them. Marija just recommends her children and Our Lady blesses them and that’s it. On this occasion, everybody knew that Francesco went into the apparition knowing this wrong he committed in forging his mother’s signature would be a problem for him. Since it was his birthday, Marija did what she always does and recommended Francesco to Our Lady. After the apparition, Francesco was still wearing his brooding face knowing now it will be Our Lady who will be disappointed in him. Marija then explained that when she recommended Francesco to Our Lady, Our Lady did something She had never done before with her children for their birthday. Our Lady said, “Give Francesco my best.” Upon hearing this, Francesco lit up and all were amazed about this, because while everybody else was down on Francesco for doing this wrong that he did, Our Lady comes through love and lifts him up. Our Lady did more to change him than anybody else.

 

We cannot judge, as Our Lady said today, because we do not have the attributes of God to understand all things, therefore we rely on judgment by appearance. And because of that, it is as Jesus told Peter in the Poem of the Man-God, out of ten judgments we make, only three are relatively accurate. Even if we are accurate, what is our reason for judging? Proverbs states that a just man falls seven times a day. Then, is one of our greatest avenues to sin, false judgments? Who, therefore, is all seeing to judge Dylan and Eric, the Serbian guard, the Croatian guide, the saints, the Hitlers, the holy, the unholy?  Our Lady said today,

 

“…My Son…was among you to show you the way of salvation, to save you and not to judge you…”

 

“My Son did not come to judge you.” But, what of God? Is He ready to judge us for what we’ve made the world into? The missing words above the dotted line in the message above tells us the answer. Our Lady clearly tells us the intent of God.

 

“…My Son, according to the will of the Heavenly Father, was among you to show you the way of salvation, to save you and not to judge you…”

 

Take note, Our Lady did not say, “God the Father.” Our Lady said, “the Heavenly Father.” Why did Our Lady say this? Our Lady highlights “Father” without diminishing Him as God, but rather diminishing in our mentality God as “Judge” and that He is there to judge us. Our Lady shows us by saying “Heavenly Father,” He is there to “father” us, to love us, not to condemn us. He wants to be known in the ideal of our mentality as a warm, loving heavenly Father who is as near to us as a father who comes home every day after work, not some cold mighty God off in a distance who is looking for reasons to judge and punish us.

 

These writings are written to you as epistles, letters from one who has walked the path, weathered the storms, lived through the lessons, suffered the persecutions, and gained cognition and insight into Our Lady’s words through years of experiences after answering Her call to be a witness to “Her way.” A whole village here, at Caritas, Alabama, is dedicated solely to the living and transmitting of Our Lady’s Medjugorje messages, through the production of the written word, to a spiritually impoverished world. Our Lady’s May 2, 2013, message is a wakeup call to reconcile. Your responsibility is to insure those who need these epistles receive the life-giving words of Our Lady. This mission has its fair share of calumnies, slanders and false judgments against it, birthed from the kind of jealousy that led down the path discussed in this writing. Truth needs no defense as God is truth and perfectly capable of His own defense. Truth, however, does need protection. Protect Our Lady’s plans and this mission from judgments which condemn it.

 

With Love to All, a Friend of Medjugorje

 

P.S.  Related to the above writing are five additional steps that demonstrate the intricate network satan works in a soul to lead hearts away from the heart of God through rebellion.

 

Hurt or perceived hurt

Bitterness

Anger

Stubbornness and Insubordination

Rebellion

 

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

 

Hurt or perceived hurt. A person can experience a hurt or perceived hurt and does not forgive. Rather than forgive, he lets the hurt fester in his heart.

 

Bitterness. Hurt turns into bitterness. It becomes rooted in the heart, like a weed. If it is not identified as a weed, bitterness is left to root deeper into the soil of the heart.

 

Anger. Bitterness turns into anger. It is an anger that becomes life-dominating. The hurt that is not resolved through forgiveness continues to compound, reinforcing bitterness, and anger slowly begins to have a dominating effect upon the person.

 

Stubbornness and Insubordination. Anger leads to stubbornness and insubordination. Like a donkey that digs its front legs into the ground and refuses to budge, the person stubbornly resists what can correct a situation, or perceived situation. He refuses his cooperation, is disrespectful and disagreeable and grows more so.

 

Rebellion. Stubbornness and insubordination leads to full rebellion. Scripture parallels rebellion to witchcraft because rebellion against authority or even lack of respect ultimately is rebellion against God.

 

“For rebellion is as the sin of divination [witchcraft], and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.” 1 Samuel 15:23

 

All things improve for self when forgiveness reigns, which is followed by surrendering the situation to Jesus. Then God takes control, rather than self. All problems and preconceived problems, which may not be a problem at all, are to be given to Jesus. Our Lady said:

 

June 25, 1988

“…Little children, love bears everything bitter and difficult for the sake of Jesus Who is love. Therefore, dear children, pray God to come to your aid, not, however, according to your desires but according to His love. Surrender yourselves to God so that He may heal you, console you, and forgive everything inside you which is a hindrance on the way of love. In this way, God can mold your life and you will grow in love…”

 

A priest once said that when he became a priest, he began to believe that unforgiveness was the cause of 50% of all sin. As he grew older, he believed that 80% of all sin was caused by unforgiveness. After living a long life as a priest, towards the end of his life he said that he believed unforgiveness was the root of every sin.

 

P.S. P.S. When I see someone on the street, church, store, etc., and I begin to make judgements in my thoughts about them, I immediately change my thoughts to give them Our Lady’s Special Blessing to make up for my grievance against them. This works quite well for me, as I am now, instead, “giving them my best” from Our Lady! Read A Blessing to Help Save the World to understand Our Lady Special Blessing.

 

[END NARRATION]

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

As I said in the beginning, Our Lady says, to read the Bible every day. You have to read the messages of Our Lady every day. I can tell you, in this, it says, several times, on the message here, “The message today…” Did you catch that? I wrote that the day She gave the message. I didn’t know all this stuff. Another time, it says, “This day, Our Lady said this…” And a third time, maybe four times, “Our Lady said this today…” I didn’t go get books and learn these things. I learned from it. If you’ve got to be reading the Bible, and She’s giving messages for the purpose that the Second Coming of Jesus, we know how to deal in a different kind of world of what the Biblical world is, you have to read these books, and you’ll learn something a second time, because there’s a grace attached to you, and it will see something the next month, you’ve grown a certain way, or you didn’t grow a certain way. You need to have…There’s probably 800 writings. You have to be reading these books. I read them. I pull something out of my library, and I read it because the system, your family, your work, everything changes, and you get you another perspective.

 

You should have, in your library, every one of the books. Actually, three or four, because when the Secrets happen, you’re going to be a little Medjugorje center. “Oh, my neighbor, my aunt, my father, my mother.” “I want to know about this message.” We don’t know.

 

We’ve had in the last seven, eight months, that the paper companies are saying they’re shutting down, one after another, one after another. The paper is going to cost more money, and it’s getting to a position we may not have paper. When the Secrets happen, we’re going to be running six days, 24 hours, because everybody’s going to want everything. There’s certain kinds of papers they’re not even making anymore.

 

We have to be thinking, it’s the written word. It’s not the cell phone. It’s not the computer. It’s going to disappear. How do we know? Because Our Lady said it. It’s going to fall apart, because it doesn’t glorify God.

 

Pope Francis just said, recently, “Everybody should be carrying the Bible instead of the cell phone.” He’s still a little bit off. It’s the Rosary! You can be thinking with the Rosary. But even he’s waking up.

 

Me re-reading this, listening to this, my perspective was different, because it’s always going to speak to you. Our Lady said, you know the message,

 

April 4, 1985

“…I wish to keep on giving you messages…”

 

Everybody says, even Medjugorje people, “She says the same thing.” Really? Why would She say that?

 

“…I wish to keep on giving messages…”

 

Francis said She’s a telegraph. He market, why did Our Lady say this?

 

“…I wish to keep on giving [you] messages as it has never been…”

 

Do you believe it? Do you accept that? That means you’re living when the birth of the Biblical, of the New Testament, and we’re privileged.

 

“…has never been in history from the beginning of the world…”

 

Do you treat these messages this way? Do you think, “Wow. This is something that’s never happened since the beginning of the world, the universe! The birth of the earth!”

 

It’s our life, and it’s got to be your life, and you’ve got to be thinking, how do you propagate these. We give you the ammunition, these books, writings, everything, and you’re the gun to shoot it.
