[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Today, the Doctrine of the Faith, we got up at 4:30 this morning, central time, because they made a major press conference, what they’re going to be doing with Medjugorje and the messages.

 

I am very angry! It’s a shame! Cardinal Fernandez was the moderator. It’s a setup. They were saying how all the beautiful things about Medjugorje. The fruit coming from Medjugorje! They got butterfly statements. “All the fruit from Medjugorje!”

 

It’s a sham! It’s a trap! How to stop Our Lady, stop Her messages! They were smooth. “We have to approve the messages for the faithful.” I went through that fight back in the 80s. They tried to stop the messages then. And now, they dropped their atomic bomb to stop and control Our Lady.

[TRANSLATOR]

Now, you spoke about the stop. What happens is that we have analyzed these based on the criteria of distinguishing between a mystical and theological language.

 

The ones we’ve studied…Well, the ones that will come later? We don’t know. There’s no judgment on what is not yet in existence.

 

So, I wouldn’t say to put a stop on rendering them public all together, but only until they have been evaluated. So, the visitor will see, there is no problem. Every two months, they can be rendered public. They can be published. But it something doubtful arises that can confuse the faithful, we will receive…They will contact us. They will call us, and we’ll try to answer, not after two years, but within the week, possibly.

 

The note says that the text, future texts, if any, if there were to be any…The ones of the past that have not been published, all of these texts, in order to be published, must have…receive authorization from the apostolic visitor, including the so-called Secrets that we don’t know about.

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Our Lady had to have an outlet to make sure Her messages would be propagated.

 

I didn’t know at the moment, but in November, 1988, Marija came here for three months. Our Lady set up shop here at Caritas. Had Our Lady not come here and what She showed me to do, you would not have the messages now.

 

They told me to stop, the Franciscans! And now, it’s at the Doctrine in the Vatican. Shame! Many times, they told me to stop doing what I’m doing. They told me, “You are banned from Medjugorje. You’re not part of Medjugorje.” Several pastors I’ve been through, Medjugorje Father Oreč after we showed a documentary in Medjugorje, there were several priests, Ivan was there, I was there, giving a preview for them to see it. When I walked outside, Father Oreč, he told me, “That was very good. But this ‘Secrets’ stuff, you have to edit that out.”

 

I didn’t say anything, and I didn’t. I’ve been in fights, threats, letters from the parish, blocking us giving out the messages. A lot of dirty things have happened. satan hates these messages.

 

Our Mission House gives out more messages, more materials than the whole place of Medjugorje. They don’t even come close to us. Had we not set up shop in Medjugorje, and here, Medjugorje would be dead.

 

I’m telling you things I’ve never talked to you before now. But what I heard this morning, it’s time to talk serious.

 

They will stop the messages.

 

Marija, at one point, to stop the messages. “We’ve got enough.”

 

When I started building the Tabernacle of Our Lady’s Messages, a 65,000 square-foot building, Marija was here in February, 1994. Marija was here for three days, and I was being so persecuted, so much that I was wondering, have I stepped over Our Lady? I was getting hit from the front, the side, and the back, to destroy Caritas of Birmingham and me. Many lies.

 

It was February 1^st. It was only my family and Marija. I was even started wondering, maybe I was wrong about some things. I was told to put a lock on the gates to the Field and stop what you’re doing.

 

Another priest in Medjugorje screaming at me, “You stop that back in Birmingham, and close it up!”

 

We were in the rectory, two priests, one of them slammed his fist on the desk, hard, “You put a lock on that gate.”

 

They said, “The plan is here, not at your place.”

 

This screaming, a friend of mine was outside the rectory. He heard everything.

 

Ivan was going to have an apparition. We go to the mountain. The priest said, “The plans are here!” So, I prayed the whole time for the climb to the mountain, “Mary, just give me some words. I’ll close everything down. Please say something in your apparition.”

 

Went through the apparition, Ivan gave the message out. And it was July 24, 1989. Our Lady said,

 

“…tonight your Mother is happy to see you in…large numbers…”

 

And at the end of the message, She did give me, directly, a message of what just happened in the rectory, “The plan is here.” She said,

 

“…I need you…to cooperate with me, because there are today many plans that I cannot fulfill without you. I need your cooperation…”

 

So, going back to February in 1994, I’m still getting so much persecution. I started thinking, “Maybe I’m off the track.”

 

We go in the Bedroom. It’s only my family and Marija. And Our Lady appears. We didn’t ask Marija to say anything. The apparition ended, and Marija said, “Our Lady gave a message:”

 

“I am happy to be here.”

I melted, completely melted. All the weight by those words, “I am happy to be here.” “Here” was in my home, in the Bedroom, of what She set up.

 

Going from that year, so many battles, so many wars, so much slander, so much hatred. The Franciscans telling the guides to tell their pilgrims, “Do not go to Caritas Community Mission House.” We’re a cult.

 

We would see people go by, and they’d be looking in our place. There would be thirty people following the guide. We hear them, “Don’t go in there. They’re bad.”

 

We’ve got purple and gold embossed to put the messages we put on. It’s beautiful. We have given way over a million copies.

 

One of our children here in the Community was there in Medjugorje. They were right there on the sidewalk by the rectory. And one of the Franciscans grabbed him by the neck, took the cards away from him, and pushed him to the ground. Another Community member saw this.

 

I can tell you many things. I’ve kept this quiet for all these years. But what I heard this morning is a trap to stop Our Lady’s voice.

 

We have here, at Caritas, Our Lady’s outlet what She can’t do in Medjugorje.

 

And now, we’ve got this slick, sly plan to shut Our Lady up. They said this morning, they’ve got to look at every message from here on out. And that February time Our Lady had, the third day Marija was here, Our Lady had an apparition out by the Tree. And the Tabernacle was still under construction. The structure was up. The floors, the cement. You could see sixty or seventy percent in its construction. We invited the construction workers to go to the apparition. They weren’t Catholic. We didn’t the Rosary. We had the apparition. We didn’t ask anything.

 

And Our Lady stayed, and She stayed, and She stayed, and She stayed, and She stayed.

 

We’d never seen that. It was ten minutes in Her apparition.

 

When the apparition was over, Marija says, “Our Lady stretched out Her arms over the Tabernacle.” The whole ten minutes.

 

I asked her what She did. “She prayed constantly,” for that whole ten minutes.

 

When I heard that, I understood why I said the name of this building. The Tabernacle of Our Lady’s Messages.

 

This is a tabernacle like at the church where the Host is. We propagate. We archive. We preserve what Our Lady has done and Her messages. Death threats, not just one, not just two. Not seven times. I’ve never made this public. But again, my blood is boiling of what I heard. It’s slick. They said, today,

 

“Any past messages that’s not been published or…”

 

Hear this now.

 

“…or future messages, they have to approve them.”

 

You want me to tell you something else? I won’t tell you which visionary it was, after they got a message, several years ago, this was, the pastor, he changed the message! The person that was standing there that I’m close with saw it happen. See what they want? They want to neuter the messages to get Medjugorje approved. Mundane everything, bury it, and so we can get it approved.

 

I don’t care about Medjugorje being approved by anybody! satan hates these words for the purpose to save the world and defeat satan. You know he’s going to influence. Ivan said, “satan has a master intellect.” You’re not going to outsmart him. he pursues the Woman. And who is he? he’s the dragon!

 

Nobody is saying, infallibly, of what I’m saying, that we are in Revelation 12! The Woman! The Child! The Woman! The male Child! The Woman! “He will rule with an iron rod.”

 

So, Who is it?

 

This is in a Biblical moment. We are living something that comes back all the way in the beginning with Adam and Eve. Genesis 3:15. And all the scholars have changed that verse, that the serpent will strike at His heel.

 

That’s not what it says. You go back to Jerome, who, in Bethlehem, he translated, “he will strike Her heel, while She crushed the snake.”

 

So, the beginning of the Bible to Revelation 12. And they have to silence Our Lady. And they’re doing that. And they just publicly do it today.

 

I have so many things I know about, so many persecutions.

 

You’ve heard what I wrote, the statement, “To Love.” It was three or four minutes of writing. It was easy for me to write that, because it’s my life. And now, this morning, they release, “We want to make sure everything is theologically correct.” The Franciscans, they want just to get Medjugorje approved. That’s all they care about. And now, they want to take it from the Franciscans, they’re going to do the same thing.

 

Our Lady said, “spread and propagate my messages to the whole world.”

 

I’m telling you right now, on the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary, on the third mystery, you say, “Proclamation of the Kingdom of Love” and the Propagation of Our Lady’s Message to the World. You hear that added to the Proclamation, add this to this from now, the Propagation of Our Lady’s Message to the Whole World. Our Lady wants that. I know it. I’m telling you, you start saying that with the Rosary of the Luminous. It is to be stated from here now. I’m telling you, She wants it. I know that, and that’s all I’m going to say.

 

I want to blow up everything what we heard this morning from the Vatican. I don’t care if they want my neck or what they want to say, condemn me. I have already plans to condemn me by the Doctrine of the Faith. And my bishop stopped it.

 

This mission, this Community, my position—a flunky, a ditch-digger—She chose to safeguard Her messages.

 

“Woman, behold Your son.”

 

“Son, behold your Mother.”

 

I’ve felt that many times.

 

We are in…

 

Three days ago, in the evening, I went to the Cross by myself. I picked a message. It was January 25, 1991. I picked, through the index, the words, “Through prayer with the blessing of God’s peace.” That was the phrase that I picked. But the message I’m going to tell you, Our Lady says,

 

“…satan is strong and wishes not only to destroy human life but also nature and the planet on which you live…”

 

This is worth to repeat.

 

“…satan is strong and wishes not only to destroy human life but also nature and the planet on which you live…”

 

That can mean but one thing. We are in Revelation. The battle.

She said,

“…God sent me to you so that I can help you. If you wish to, grasp for the Rosary. Already, the Rosary alone can do miracles in the world and in your lives. I bless you and I stay among you as long as it is God’s will…”

 

And this next sentence is what they did in the Vatican today.

 

“…Thank you that you will not betray my presence here…your response is serving God [and] peace…”

 

The Franciscans has looked at me as a rebel.

 

I have received letters from different pastors in Medjugorje. In August, 1996, I received this message:

 

“Dear Mr. Colafrancesco…”

 

This is from the pastor, Father Landeka,

 

“…Your newsletter, Field Angels, is scandalous and an attack against Medjugorje. Unfortunately, this is not the first time. You are no longer spreading authentic messages of Our Lady, but rather inaccurate or false theological principles…”

 

See, that’s what they want to change. They want to go through the message of Our Lady, theologically smooth it down, water it down. That’s been the battle against them for me and them for Our Lady.

 

“…but rather inaccurate or false theological principles. As a result, you are making the work regarding Medjugorje more difficult and are discrediting the entire movement within the Church…”

 

I’m a peon. I’m comfortable to be a peasant in the pew, and as I said, a ditch-digger. I am the peasant in the pew is affecting the whole Church worldwide. I didn’t say that. They did.

 

He continues,

 

“…I hereby am letting you know that the parish of Medjugorje is distancing itself from your center, Caritas of Birmingham…”

 

There was 150 Medjugorje centers and most of them are gone now, and we’re the largest one in the world.

 

“…[we] are distancing itself from your center, Caritas of Birmingham. We are telling you that now personally, and soon, we will do so publicly. You no longer have the right to utilize Medjugorje, since you have already been using your own Medjugorje for some time, which has nothing to do with the true Medjugorje. The newsletter, “Field Angels,” is an abuse. We also suggest that as long as you act in this offensive way against Medjugorje, you no longer conduct pilgrimages to Medjugorje.”

 

Landeka, the pastor.

 

They even tried to turn Marija against me, several times, many times, but Marija sees Our Lady.

 

One day I went to Marija’s house, and she said, this Field Angel thing that you’ve got, “You can’t say that.”

 

I said, “Oh, the Franciscans’ been talking to you.”

 

And she said, “Well, they were saying that it doesn’t look good to call people Field Angels.”

 

And I said, “Marija, Our Lady called you and the visionaries are Her angels.”

 

And immediately, Marija caught on.

 

They want these visionaries to go away. They want them to get further and further away. And I’ve got intel from people about that. That letter is right when I had began the Mission House. We gave everything free!

 

How do we do that? We have people out there in the Field. You that supports this place, Field Angels, gives us the possibility to give away millions of books over all these years.

 

A few months ago, we calculated that our press, how many pages what has been printed through our print shop? You know what it is?

 

61 billion pages…

 

That’s scattered across the world.

 

And you think satan is not going to do everything to stop us?

 

They tried to arrest us in Medjugorje. And they did, really, two of my sons, for giving out cards, on the streets. And I can tell you many more things, and I never wanted to say these things, but what I heard this morning from the Doctrine of the Faith, there is a plan to silence Our Lady.

 

Shame!

 

Shame!

 

Shame!

 

I’m only telling you a little bit. My life has not been pleasant. I’ve kept it quiet, and now, what I hear, my blood boiled. I can back all this I’m saying in the letters, archived, we’ve got it. We didn’t throw it away.

 

This slick thing…satan is so slick. The rest of the Medjugorje world will be applauding about this, what the Vatican said today.

 

Not us!

 

It’s the death of Medjugorje. This is the killing of Medjugorje. I’m telling you!

 

The results is going to be the killing of the conversions of this holy place.

 

Marija, Mirjana, Vicka, Jakov, Ivan…They’ve been everywhere and had their apparitions everywhere. But Our Lady didn’t do anything geographically about the place. When Our Lady came here in 1988, She gave messages every day! Marija was surprised, and she said, “Our Lady’s not giving messages every day like here.” And every day, from the first moment of the apparition in the Bedroom, of which Our Lady picked through Marija, was very happy.

 

The next day, very happy.

 

The next day, very happy.

 

The next day, very happy.

 

All the way through.

 

It’s in Words from Heaven. Look in the book. We didn’t understand. Marija didn’t understand. She stayed here three months. Thousands of people coming here. She geographically says, “Okay, tomorrow, I’m going to have an apparition in the Bedroom.” And She said, from the Bedroom, for tomorrow, “I will appear by the Pine Tree in the Field.” That’s geographically.

 

When Marija goes somewhere, or those visionaries, Our Lady’s not saying, “Go over there.” Wherever they go, She goes. And that’s what people started persecuting me, even then, that were making something. Then Our Lady, the next day, went back into the Bedroom. And thousands of people, every day, was around the Tree. And She blessed them, at the Tree, from the Bedroom.

 

There’s been 213 apparitions, and Our Lady has geographically said, “I’ll go to the Tree tomorrow,” or the next day, “back in the Bedroom,” or five days straight at the Tree. And She said that. At one day, I asked Marija, “Did She say the word ‘Tree’?” “Yes.”

 

Our Lady said, tomorrow, to go to the Cross and to bless it. We were shocked. Our Lady had to escape from the things that She can’t do in Medjugorje to a second geographic place in the world. This ground She has sanctified it and repeatedly making it clear that She’s not just following Marija because She’s there. There’s no place anywhere else of all the six visionaries where Our Lady just geographically making it an apparition like Fatima.

 

Our Lady said, “This is the last apparition. I will never have apparitions in the world.”

So, this place is the last place, geographically, She marked. And people that come here are not coming here for devotion. They come here and convert. The odor of Our Lady’s presence is felt when people come here.

 

This is a setup to control Medjugorje and snuff it.

 

It is the killing of Medjugorje. And this place will keep it alive.

 

I want you to hear something that I put into writing in 2020. This is the first time I put this in writing, because the ending of Mirjana’s second of the month messages. This, in 2020, this is what satan’s going to do to stop the release of the Secrets.

 

And they said that today. They said it, in the Vatican! When the Secrets are going to be released, they said, they have to approve them!

 

Listen to what you’ll hear now.

 

[NARRATOR]

The following is from the book, The Plan for Nonbelievers: From Dark to Light and the Resistance Against It, written in 2020.

 

This book chronicled the behind-the-scenes work a Friend of Medjugorje did to spread Our Lady’s second of the month apparitions through Mirjana.

 

The following postscript was written by a Friend of Medjugorje to explain why he allowed the publication of the never-before-told story.

 

Quote,

 

“There have been a lot of people through the years who have suppressed Our Lady’s messages and not taken them seriously. For them, Our Lady has given them their sentence, a sentence that has already been pronounced that cannot be understood by them now, but will be understood in the future.

 

“Our Lady announced the sentence in Her Augus 25, 1997 message when She said,

 

“…now you do not comprehend this grace, but soon a time will come when you will lament for these messages…”

 

“The mission of Caritas is not the only thing that has been built and structured on Our Lady’s messages, but a whole new way of life, bonded to the messages that is lived by the Community of Caritas, all of which manifested from Our Lady’s words.

 

“When I wrote the Rule for the Community of Caritas for our bishop in 2001, who requested it, I gave it the title: ‘A Way of Life in a New Time,’ because it is not so much a rule as it is a way of living the messages of Our Lady that is successful and unique in all of the Medjugorje world.

 

“What has been stated in this book is sufficient to awaken people to the reality that there is a grave threat coming in the future. When the time comes for the release of the secrets, satan and all his minions in hell and on earth will attempt to delay the announcement of their release.  Whether that delay is to the last moment before their release, or more so, until after the Secrets take place—the aim of the delay would be to steal the thunder of the secrets away from Our Lady by not allowing the secrets to be foretold.

 

“If this happened, at the very least, it would minimize the time for the warning of the Secrets to be spread to the world’s population. Because the devil cannot stop the Secrets from happening, his first choice would be to have the announcement come after the Secrets occur. The devil’s second choice would be to delay their announcement as much as possible to eat up the time during the three days notice in order to minimize the spreading of the warning to the least number of people as possible. Again, to be explicitly clear of what will happen: satan will do anything and everything to delay the announcing of the release of the secrets. How can I be so certain? Chinese warrior, Sun Tzu, two thousand years ago, said, know your enemy. Who is the enemy? satan. The enemy of Our Lady. The enemy of Our Lady’s plans.

 

“These points are important to repeat. Why? The whole Medjugorje world must fast on bread and water for 7 days with Mirjana and Fr. Petar, the priest that Mirjana has chosen, in order to block satan’s interference. So I repeat this very critical point:  Since satan cannot stop the secrets from happening, and we know he can’t, as Mirjana has stated the secrets will happen, he will work to diminish the effects of the secrets. Remember, Our Lady said that his power will be destroyed through the secrets—but that doesn’t mean that he will not be able to wield his influence in such a way as to cheat Our Lady out of the greatest harvest possible by diminishing the numbers of conversions through devious means.

 

“As already covered in the previous chapter, the question is: who could stop the secrets? Mirjana has said that the priest she chose to reveal the secrets to the world does not have a choice whether or not he will announce the secrets. He must reveal the secrets because it is God’s will. Who, then, could stop Fr. Petar from revealing the secrets? Donald Trump, the President of the United States couldn’t stop him. Nor could the President of Bosnia, or the mayor of Medjugorje. The only ones who could stop Fr. Petar are those who have legitimate authority over him.  The history that has been revealed in these pages is for the sole purpose as to send a message. What is the message?  Let not anyone even dare to think to delay or stop the secrets from being released.”

 

A Friend of Medjugorje, May 8, 2020.

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Nowhere in Medjugorje can you get the material that we give through our Mission House.

 

I want to tell you, we are under-funded to meet the demand that we need to have. The last apparitions of the place here frees Her, a place where She is free to do what She can otherwise. And what is the Vatican going to do? I’m going to buck it. I’m not going to stop the messages. No way.

 

We have to have everybody donating to this mission for it to thrive.

 

We work 80 hours a week. How do you do that. We do it because we love Our Lady, and we want Her and Her words to be propagated across the whole world. Why? Because She said, “spread my messages to the world.”

 

Today is a sad day, but at the same time, a joyful day that Our Lady came here to Alabama. Another year again that Alabama is the number one, the most religious state in the United States of America. Do you think that has something to do with Our Lady? I do, and I believe that. And you who have come, you’ve felt that same thing.

 

Pray for Our Lady to come back. Support this mission, monthly. Increase your donations.
