Will You Have Regrets When You’re Older?

[Podcast] (66 Minutes) – A Friend of Medjugorje asks the most important questions that everyone needs to think about – questions one will think about on their deathbed.

Episode Transcript

[THEME MUSIC]

[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.”

[ANNOUNCER]

This is Mejanomics with a Friend of Medjugorje.

 

[COC]

Tonight’s Mejanomics broadcast is a one-hour special.

 

This is a Friend of Medjugorje speaking to the Caritas Pilgrimage group that is here at Caritas right now.

 

As many of you know, we recently announced that a Friend of Medjugorje is opening up pilgrimages to Medjugorje again with BVM Caritas Pilgrimages, and as many of you around the world know the story, a Friend of Medjugorje started Caritas for the purpose of spreading Catholicism. Then he went to Medjugorje and refocused Caritas to be solely on Medjugorje.

 

Pilgrimages to Medjugorje was actually the very first thing that he did with Caritas. And so, those pilgrimages are now restarting, and the pilgrimages here to the sacred sites in Alabama are also continuing as well. And that is what today’s broadcast is from.

 

So here is a Friend of Medjugorje April 6, 2022.

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Good afternoon.

 

Well, you’re in a place where Our Lady has drawn you to for years and years. You’ve been on this path longer than you think, and as you go back home, you’ll discover that your time here was an appointment of destiny. Nothing’s by chance. Our Lady says that. Nothing. Everything happens.

 

So, Our Lady is choosing people at their time, in their time, for where you are. Our birth in this time is something different than anybody that has been birthed throughout history. The only thing you can compare it to was when Jesus walked the earth.

 

So, we are privileged people. We’re in an amphitheater of the history of the world. And people don’t get it. They’re so blinded. They’re so busy. They don’t realize what time we’re in, and they waste their life. There’s going to be a lot of regrets—a lot of regrets—even for you here, for me, for what we could have done or what we didn’t do.

 

So, Our Lady has talked to us about different messages…What was y’all’s message this morning? I always like to look and see what the message you always pick for the morning. I don’t know what it was.

 

And it was July 7, 2006, and it says,

 

“Tonight Our Lady came very, very happy. At the beginning She greeted us…: ‘Praised be Jesus my…children.’…

 

And then Ivan goes on and talks about what happened and it says,

 

“The following…message Our Lady gave to Ivan:

 

‘Dear children, also today I call you, especially through this time…’

 

We started talking about time. And one thing I wanted to talk to you today about is time. I didn’t hear this. I didn’t know this message.

 

“…especially through this time, to pray in your families. Dear children, return to prayer into your families; pray together with the children. Dear children, may each of your families grow in this way in holiness. Thank you [dear children] for having responded to my call.”

 

Our Lady navigates your whole day. Things, when you pick a message in the morning, is applicable for what your day is. That’s why you have to, every morning, pick a message and see what She’s guiding you. And it may not manifest when you read it, but something through the day, that message will be tangible to your walk.

 

Our Lady told us a message on December 2, 2011, and She was talking about us being a seed. The seed is something that grows. Everything you eat from comes from seed. You say, “What about cows?” Well, they have to have seeds for the grass. So, the whole creation is based on something seeded. And once we understand that and apply ourselves to these things with Our Lady and Her messages—agrarian—and with nature, we see that. Not the people who are looking at nature as God, but where we come from.

 

A seed has to grow. If it’s not growing, then it’s not going to give the nourishment.

 

So, Our Lady used these things that were tangible to us to make us understand, not theological stuff, lofty stuff, or go get theologians and all these PhDs. That’s not what Our Lady’s about. She’s very clear, because everything in the world today is cloudy, and it’s all intellectual, all IT, all these things, all advanced, way up in the clouds. Not the clouds of Heaven, though. Of man.

 

Our Lady said,

 

December 2, 2011

“…with my…example…”

 

She walked the earth. She’s gone more than you went and what your suffering is by far.

 

So, with “…my…”, the Virgin Mary,

 

“…my…example I may help you to become a seed of the future, a seed that will grow into a firm tree and spread its branches throughout the [whole] world…”

 

She’s thinking of you to change the world. How can I change the world? She makes that happen. Your witness, your life, is for the purpose to bring people to eternal life, not hell, but to Heaven.

 

You’re important. Our Lady says, “I can’t do anything without you.” The basis of Her plans, where God let Her come down here, and somewhat, She’s handcuffed because She says, “I can do nothing without you. I have to pray just like you.”

 

So, you are more important to the plan than you know of, and you’ll never know it until you get to Heaven of what your impact on the bad, or impact on the good.

 

So, this seed that you are, when you start growing, is a sapling. You can go in the woods right here, and you’ve got little trees that big. But Our Lady said,

 

“…a seed that will grow into a firm tree…”

 

Not deformed or rotted or diseased. And the earth is diseased today. The sapling that She calls us to, which is weak, has to be nourished over year after year after year.

 

We’ve got a mighty Pine Tree out there in the Field. It’s known all over the world, and it’s strong, and it’s rooted, and we consecrated that to Our Lady.

 

But there’s a big weakness in that Tree because you don’t want a pine tree to grow a split like that at the top. And it’s in danger because that split eventually is going to split the Tree. You want a single trunk going all the way up. But also, it’s a symbol that Our Lady allowed that to be growing with that weakness, that with the weakness that we have of we’re split in the world, in the physical and the spiritual realm, and not growing toward the spiritual realm, we won’t have the strength.

 

So, Our Lady is here for us to make us stronger even if we’re split, because we’re always going this way or this way, and one way’s going to win. The only way that Tree is going to do is…we’ve got rope at the top of it. We’ve got some things coming in, that we’ve got to hold it together.

 

Our Lady is here to hold your life together, to be solid as one, because satan I always pulling, defined by the world pulling, and Our Lady always pulling in the spiritual.

 

So, all these things speak to us. Our Lady says, “Go into nature. It will teach you. It will speak to you.”

 

And so, we’re in a time of being weak. Our Lady says,

 

“…a firm tree and spread its branches throughout the [whole] world…”

 

We’re in a cow pasture that reaches people all over the world, and it’s amazing that this is nowhere, no place, and how would people have said forty years ago that people across the world would know about this place?

 

This family just came from Mexico. They found out just a week ago. Our Lady puts the call. If you’re seeking Our Lady, you’re going to find, somehow, what She needs to show you.

 

“…throughout the [whole] world…”

 

From your little home, where you are.

 

“…for you to become a [tree] of the future, a seed of love, implore the Father to forgive you your omissions up to now. My children, only a pure heart, unburdened by sin can open itself and only honest eyes can see the way by which I desire to lead you…”

 

Our Lady, here, is leading us. Are the pulpits leading you? Are you getting food? No. Because there’s a lot of things in the Church off-kilter. If it wasn’t, Our Lady wouldn’t be here. The troubles and problems we have start with the Church, starts with us as Christians, not with the world and the evil and what the bad people are doing. The more evil grows, it’s because of the weaker we’ve grown. The stronger we are, the more we oppress that, driving it out of society, and that’s Our Lady’s basis—to keep you in a position of strength.

 

October 10, 1985

“…if you live the messages, you are living the seed of holiness…”

 

January 25, 2009, Our Lady says,

 

“…May prayer be for you like the seed that you will put in my heart…I desire…for each of you to fall in love with eternal life…”

 

People really aren’t in love with eternal life. They’re in love with the world, the things that are glitter, things that capture your hearts.

 

Our Lady has a big job trying to navigate through all this stuff, all this clutter, all these things, to get to us. That’s why you’re here. You’ve got to get out of the world. You’ve got to have a few days to just contemplate and just think, “What do you want your life to be?” How is it supposed to be?

 

The world doesn’t allow it. Our work, our jobs, everything. This whole system does not give you opportunities to reflect on what you want out of your life.

 

“…to fall in love with eternal life which is your future, and for all worldly things…”

 

Not most things.

 

“…all worldly things to be a help for you to draw you closer to God the Creator…”

 

Everything we’re supposed to have is consecrated to Our Lady’s work, to God the Father. These worldly things are used by the devil, are used by God.

 

What is your work? How do you sanctify it? How do you change it? How do you do, whatever your company, whatever the school, whatever you’re a part of. Are these worldly things helping for you to be drawing closer to God the Creator?

 

So, Our Lady brings that word, “Creator,” because He didn’t create these things that man has generated from creation to be something for satan.

 

T.V. is from the devil, completely. It’s one of the biggest and first things that changed the whole world. It brought filth, rebellion, bad witness into the living room. I See Far, the book, if you read that, that would show it to you real clearly. Once you read that, you won’t want to be having a T.V.

 

So, everything, the things…And Our Lady said in a message, there are evil things. Those are the things in your life, you have to get rid of it. She says,

 

“…I am with you for this long because you are on the wrong path…”

 

The whole world, we know, it doesn’t take a scientist or a theologian, that the world is on the wrong path, and the path it’s on now is on a crash, a devastating crash. We see it every day, something is changing for the world, for its darkness.

 

I remember back before Medjugorje, when I went there, I didn’t know it was only…There was something minused out of my life. And then, nothing, really, can complete you where you are right now. The only thing is Our Lady.

 

Until now, we didn’t have anything to change our life and the direction of the world. There was no light, no rising sun. Everything was getting darker and is darker, and the only thing we have is Our Lady to illuminate our souls and our walk in this perilous time.

 

Every thought the world has defeats us. We know that we are being defeated by the direction of the world, and we know that the whole world is going to crash together. It’s in a serious situation. It was on alone of the whole world, with the world, on a different road that I am now, until I discovered later. My walk, your walk, and what we’ve done in the past, has to change. Had Our Lady not come to us to illuminate it, you’ve heard me say it. You’ve heard, quoted Ivan, the world would have destroyed itself had She not come.

 

But sometimes, I think about Our Lady, I’m going to wake up in the morning, that She’s not going to be with us anymore. She’s going to be gone. And all this time, all this opportunity we had to walk with Our Lady, doesn’t come to us anymore. The apparitions will be over. And you’re at the tail end if you’re coming into it now. But thank God, and thank Our Lady, that you’re here before She’s gone.

 

Are you going to be strong enough with Her not here every day? You’ll find out.

 

What have you done with your life?

 

What towers are you building?

 

Where is your heart?

 

What will you show for your life?

 

You can build all your homes. You can do all these things, but they don’t last forever.

 

There’s a lot of fear of the future. Our Lady wants to hold our hands. And there’s going to be a time where we’re going to wish we could go back in time, because we would like to change our past. And that’s what the message said a minute ago,

 

“…[and I] implore the Father to forgive you your omissions up to now…”

 

See, She’s ready to wipe it just clean.

 

So, it’s not too late, and that’s what She’s doing. We’re going to have a deadening of longing in our feelings of what we’re going to have for Our Lady. We’re going to wish, while She was here, after She’s gone, that we could apologize.

 

We want Her. We want to say, “I’m sorry.”

 

“You called me. You asked me. You told me, and I didn’t do it,” or “I was lazy. And I missed an opportunity.”

 

I’m going to work myself to death when I die. I don’t want to do anything but make Our Lady more known and loved. Our Lady’s given me too many experiences that there’s anything else I can do except make Her known.

 

What the world needs today is healing—real healing.

 

The world today is Cain. They follow him. We are Cains. Our Lady’s here to call and bring you to be Abel. Are you? You think you might? I think I might. But I always have to be like a drunken fool out there, when we can have so much rich, so much grace, so many beautiful things. But we get tugged on this direction, and because we’re a sapling instead of an oak tree, we’re weak wood. There’s a lot of things that have to change, constantly, in your life.

 

We’ve got people…I did it. You’ve done it. You lay all the cards on the table that you have, wanting this and betting on this is going to happen. You’re betting on the future’s going to come back to what it used to? Our Lady’s not here for us to go back to what we were doing. We’re declining, and we’re going to continue to decline in the world until a new way of life comes back to us.

 

The hope we have is things are not, for us, that we lost our hope, that it’s too late. Our Lady is here for us to help find the way to Her in this earth, to use worldly things only for Heaven. Not for building towers.

 

The real question, if you look inside yourself, that you find, really, you are a sapling. Through the messages, you grow your branches. You become and oak. You become strong. And it all starts with Her love.

 

Our Lady told us,

 

“…a seed of love…”

 

Everything is based in love. If you don’t have love, and you don’t do what you do with love, you are going to be lost. And love hurts because it has to accept everything bitter, just like Jesus did, just like Our Lady did, the Apostles and the saints have done. The whole foundation is love, even those who are hard to love.

 

This is your life. This is your call.

 

And so, the question really is, are you strong enough?

 

[SONG]

I remember way back when, I felt only ennui, like nothing could complete me. No promise of a rising sun illuminating everyone. The very thought defeated.

 

My life, what a blinding light. Must be what it’s like when worlds collide, especially when he sees her. I was on the road too long. My labored love bore only song, not one of them a keeper.

 

But if I woke in the morning to find you were gone, I know I’d try and find the will to be strong. But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough? I once built a bower; I could build you a home. Together forever but forever and on is still not long enough. Still not long enough.

 

The look of fear was in your eyes, and I could see myself as a child. Such a devastating feeling. I wished I could go back in time, but all I could do was apologize. Right then your eyes were healing, healing.

 

Oh, if I woke in the morning to find you were gone, I know I’d try and find the will to be strong. But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough? I once built a bower; I could build you a home. Together forever but forever and on is still not long enough. Still not long enough

 

Oh, I’ve been Cain, but I wanna be Abel. Been a drunken fool, but I wanted to be stable enough to lay every one of my cards out on the table. Hope it’s not too late for us to find a way too.

 

If I woke in the morning to find you were gone, I know I’d try and find the will to be strong. But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough? I once built a bower; I could build you a home. Together forever but forever and on is still not long enough. It’s still not long enough.

 

I went looking inside myself for a home, found only a sapling in search of an oak. But it’s a start my love, oh, it’s a start my love. But am I strong enough?

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

Are you strong enough? No, you’re not. If you were, we wouldn’t have Our Lady.

 

The world is in a weak, weak point, worse than the day before the Ark was shut. God had to purify the earth. And they didn’t even come close to what we do and what we have. The vileness, the creator of satans replacing God with unimaginable things of what’s happening in our culture that never existed.

 

So what is important now is what Our Lady said, “…This…is my time…” And when She said on June 25th in the middle 90s, that this is a particular time. You were born to be a seed to be strong, and you can’t do it without Our Lady.

 

I wrote something twenty-two years ago, and it shows what I understood back then is what’s happening right now. I’m always surprised reading something I wrote twenty or thirty years ago. I started writing thirty-three years ago about Medjugorje. And I wonder where it came from because I’m just writing. Often, I got to write something, no subject. I pick a message and start writing. And then ten years later, or fifteen years, thirty years later, it’s dead on target what’s happening right now.

 

Our Lady’s messages are prophetic! But you’ve got to pray. You’ve got to fast. You’ve got to live those messages, and then you’ll understand things that you don’t even know your thoughts are.

 

So, Our Lady wants to change our mentality, our thoughts, the way we walk throughout the day, and when She says, “I’m waking beside you,” She is literally doing that! And the more sensitive you become to Her, you know Her presence because She has a new presence on the earth, not just with Marija or with the visionaries, appearing, but as a Mother, She is gaining, every day, more power to do more than your physical mother can do.

 

And that’s why these are the last apparitions on earth, because after this, there’s no more need of apparitions. Why? Because She’s going to be with us in a different way. Not the way Marija sees, but you’ll know something, Our Lady’s up to something. And you can see.

 

I just saw several things in Medjugorje. Our Lady did certain things. And you know it just, not by chance. You know She guides you across this person or whatever. She’s there as a mother, not like a mayor.

 

Go to your city. Go to your mayor and call him on the telephone, “I want to meet you tomorrow.” No, you can’t do it. Why can’t you do it? Well, he’s booked up for two months. And you’re a peon anyway. He’s not going to meet with you. You can’t even do that.

 

Our Lady says, “…[if you need me,] call me. I will come immediately…”

 

The highest Being in Heaven, next to the Trinity, you can talk to. And you can’t talk to a two-bit mayor. Think about that. This is some of the new efficacy. Our Lady’s listening to you if you speak to Her. She’s that close, and She’s there ready to come for every situation, She says, to help you.

 

She said also, when you’re boxed into a room, you seam up the wall, four walls, ceiling, floor. You can’t get out. She tells us how to do it.

 

“…[through] prayer you [will] perceive the greatest joy…[of] every situation that has no exit…”

 

Think about that. If you’re in a situation that has no exit, Our Lady says, “I can get you out of that, through prayer.” And when you discover that, it’s going to be the greatest joy you’ve ever experienced. And you can do it again the next time if something happens.

 

Our Lady’s not just saying these things, or a Ford commercial truck on the radio, to buy into something. She is saying what She says is going to be.

 

So, I wrote this writing twenty-two years ago, and I want you to listen to it, because this is where we are and what we’re doing because time, Her saying this is My time, we’re in a serious, serious moment, and the clock is running out. For that one morning you wake up, and you hear the news, Our Lady…She stopped Her apparitions.

 

Who’s going to regret that?

 

I am. And we’re full-time. I’m going to miss that.

 

[NARRATOR]

Time…Time…Time…It is a part of everything.

 

Within its arms, Fathertime never stops.

 

Life, death, history, joy, tragedy, advances, regrets…all are in constant motion.

 

No power on earth can slow it, stop it, alter it.

 

It continues one second at a time, building a foundation into minutes, hours, days, months, years, decades, centuries, to build millenniums.

 

The ages come and go as falls give way to winters.

 

Lifetimes turn into mere specs of time.

 

Lives ancient by our ways who never saw the dawn of modern times haunt us from the past with the question,

 

“Were they better off having lived in a safer, less complex, time?”

 

Sin knows no barrier of time for it transcends time.

 

It was there in the heart of the primitive man and his club, the archer facing the castle for ill gain, and the munitions expert firing a missile with an ill heart just as it was and is today in the heart of he who cheats his measurements of goods by scales with the counterweight of rocks, then iron, and now electronics.

 

Though there are forbidden fruits today, sin comes from the heart and as time is built into millenniums by seconds, the monstrous sins of the present were built one sin at a time.

 

The accumulation of sin is amassed to the point when in another time God sealed the door of the Ark.

 

Oh door of our time…where are you but in the opening of Our Lady’s mantle.

 

Noah’s ark that saved mankind physically; and afterwards, the new covenant and the Ark that saved us spiritually, bring us through time, to “another time”, where the Ark of today will save us “physically” and “spiritually”.

 

The Ark is Our Lady, and yes, what better time to live than now in answer to the question from ancient man:

 

“Were others better off living in a simpler time?”.

 

All through time, “history” is continually teaching us this:  as for our time; that the more severe the test the greater will be its reward for the victorious.

 

It’s a glorious time to live.

 

We sit in the front row seat of the amphitheater of time.

 

The age of peace is on the horizon, the invitation to be under Our Lady’s mantle, our Ark, is the open door.

 

Time doesn’t exist in Heaven.

 

How privileged are we to gaze in the face of a visionary where time doesn’t exist, for while “we” remain in time, “they” are outside of space and time right before our eyes.

 

Everything stands still.

 

Existence, minus time, is before us.

 

No,…voice of ancient man cannot haunt he who stands in the face of time where it doesn’t exist.

 

If Our Lady tells us by living Her messages we can begin to experience Heaven upon earth even before we get there, are we then also already beginning to transcend time,  beginning to live eternity before this passage from this life to the next?

 

Look at time.

 

Whose lives, though just mere specs in time, changed the whole world towards good? 

 

Span the centuries.

 

Who are those who have left and continue to leave the greatest imprint towards good upon the ages?

 

It is God’s saints.

 

Even though their lives were brief, compared to a millenium, it is their witness that lives not only in time, but outside of time as well.

 

Everything else passes, yes, even time will die.

 

Therefore, what you do along the way will make an imprint and when you go,

 

as the leaves today are green, tomorrow yellowed and gone, what remains is how you lived.

 

Not the lofty, illustrious and elevated, but the meek and humble will be remembered throughout eternity, passing love from one heart to another, generation after generation, until the last man draws his last breath, touched by you, transcended into eternity.

 

Do look at time, as ages after ages slide by, oh man, and begin to live eternity now,

 

Not bound by time, as one is not bound to this world.

 

As Our Lady said, by living Her messages we will not feel the passage from this life to the next, so too, we will also begin transcending time into eternity while still upon the earth by our holy lives and virtues, all of which are recorded for ages to come, even if hidden and known only by the angels who record them for forever.

 

Every virtuous act will be known through eternity by all, when all ages pass.

 

The passage through time and beyond has only one key to unlock it.

 

Love.

 

Yes, Love…Not human love, rather Love “expressed” by “obedience” to all of God’s Commandments.

 

For if love saves, obedience preserves, not only in time, but when time is no longer.

 

A Friend of Medjugorje

 

For Our Lady of Victory’s Little Schoolhouse, September 1999

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

The message really ask us a question:

 

What are we doing with our life?

 

What is your age now?

 

What have you accomplished for God?

 

What have you accomplished for the world?

 

What have you accomplished for satan?

 

This is a reflective time.

 

This is a time to be thinking.

 

If you’re fifteen now…or forty…or sixty…or seventy…On the younger side, you’re looking to the future. When you start getting older, you start thinking on looking back.

 

When you’re looking back, what have you done with your life?

 

Are you going to be happy with it?

 

Are you going to be consoled by what your life has shown and done for Heaven for populating Heaven? Because the most important thing is that.

 

How did you spend your time?

 

Building your tower?

 

Are you going to regret things?

 

When you get past a certain age, you start looking back on your past, wishing that you did different things when you were young to fill up your chest—your diary.

 

What is your chest? Is it full of good things? Is it like a treasure chest?

 

If you were given one when you were born, and you were putting all the memories into it, all the good deeds, all the things you have with it, that chest gets old. When you see old paint on a wall, it cracks. The chest is the same way, and those cracks are bursting because of what you didn’t do, what you should have done.

 

Our Lady says that you will have to ask for forgiveness for what you could have done, but you didn’t.

 

Who wants to go through your life and be older and realize, well, you’ve got nothing to show for it, or just a little bit?

 

You look back on your life, you think, “Oh, well, I’ve done this. I worked at this company. I did this. I went on this. I vacationed. I raised kids,” and stuff like that.

 

And then, you retire, and you look back on your life. You start thinking, “Yeah, I worked. I got retirement, and we went on vacation.”

 

That’s what you’ve got to show? Is there one person that you have brought to Heaven?

 

But if you did hundreds of them, through your witness, will you be consoled?

 

There’s a lot of people, when they get older, they can’t go back. They can’t change time. And that’s why Our Lady wants us not to be in grief in your golden age. She wants you to have things now that you yourself can reflect on things, “My life was filled with these things where I helped people.” Just not feeding the poor. Jesus says the poor is always going to be there. Who’s poor today? Those people who are going to hell. I’m sick of the social justice in the Church. The poor, the poor, the poor. Most of them are religious. They’re in good shape. They may not have the material things. Yes, you should help people, but what we really are supposed to be doing is helping people to bring them conversion. What good is it just giving people stuff?

 

That’s why we give our materials free. We’re feeding souls, not food, but spiritual food.

 

Your old age is going to be a consoling period or a very, very sad thing. And I would say most people are very sad because they’re looking about what they could have done, and they didn’t do. And they can’t go back and change that. You change it when you’re fourteen, nine years old, twenty years old, not when you’re sixty, seventy or eighty.

 

How much money did you make? Is that what you’re going to look at? “I did this. I have that.”

 

Wealth is supposed to be transitioned for conversion, not for feathering your bed and making things more comfortable. You are called, by your witness and what you do…

 

And that’s one thing. I want to witness to wealthy people because I made it in business, and I put all mine into this. And that’s why I don’t take any royalties. I don’t want money. I don’t want to get paid. And you’ve got books that’s gone over a million copies. There’s a lot of ways that I enriched this mission for souls, not for self. I don’t want it. Why would I want stupid money? Yes, you’ve got to have it. But if you have the capability of making a lot of money, what are you doing with that?

 

I sleep good at night because I know I give everything away. I like to go down the conveyor, all those writings, all those books, sometimes it’s three stacks, could be a hundred, two hundred orders every day. That’s consolation. You know it changes people’s life. Why would you want that in your pocket?

 

There’s nothing wrong with being rich, materially, but it’s what you’re doing with your life with it.

 

Our Lady said,

 

October 2, 2017

“…do not waste time…”

 

Say you’re 75 years old, or 70 or 65, what have you done with your life?

 

“…do not waste time thinking about the future, worrying…”

 

If you’re walking, you don’t worry about the future. We know that we’re supposed to be closer to the soil, not to continue, and we hope, “Okay, everything’s going to get better. All this stuff’s going to get back…”

 

On the airplane I was just flying to Medjugorje, was only two-thirds filled. And they’re expecting for it all to come back. It’s not going to. It’s going to diminish more.

 

“…May your only concern be how to live well every moment according to my Son…”

 

That’s your bank that’s going to be in your old chest—that you lived well at the moment. We are called back to be an agrarian people. It’s in the booklet, The Corona Vision. It’s very clear. We’re too far from the soil, and because we’re too far from the soil, we depend on man, not on God.

 

You see the famous picture of the husband and wife with the pitchfork, doing their prayers at twelve o’clock.

 

If you’re close to the soil, you’re close to God. Adam was close to the soil because he was soil. He was made from dirt, and dirt you should return. Isn’t that interesting, what the Bible says? Because we’re going back to the dirt, whether you like it or not. You can start planning now, or you can get hit by a train, “How am I going to eat? What am I going to eat?”

 

“…do not waste time thinking about the future, worrying…”

 

You don’t have to worry about. If you do what She says here,

 

“…May your only concern…”

 

Not about the future. Not about getting food. Not all this stuff. It’s,

 

“…how [you] live well every moment according to my Son…”

 

God said, “By the sweat of your brow shall you eat.” That’s biblical, and we’re away from that. We want man to do it, and now he’s drying up the grocery store shelves. It’s not there, and it’s going to get worse.

 

And if you do that, being,

 

“…do not waste time thinking about the future, worrying. May your only concern be how to live well every moment according to my Son…”

 

And then Our Lady says,

 

“…And there it is – peace for you!…”

 

It’s amazing. You want peace? Live what the Bible tells you to live by. That’s how you’re going to have peace. People don’t have peace now. They’re worried about what’s going to happen. You can’t even get toilet paper. You can’t do this, can’t do that.

 

June 2, 2017, Our Lady says,

 

“…My children, be ready…”

 

Be ready for what?

 

Two and a half years ago, could you imagine where the world is now? Think about this for a moment. We knew it was coming, but you can’t even see how this happened. Now you can because you know with the corona and the vaccination, all the lies, all the stuff, now the world banks, all these things. You see it now. We knew something was coming, but we couldn’t imagine how everything could be stopped. And they’re doing it.

 

So, June 2, 2017 is a big, big statement.

 

“…My children, be ready…”

 

For what?

 

“…This time…”

 

Time, time, time. She says, “…This time is my time…” Why?

 

“…My children, be ready. This time is a turning point…”

 

Our Lady is either a liar, or She is telling truth. Which one? She’s telling the truth? Okay, then this is a turning point. This is not going to pick back up. “Okay, everything’s going back. Diesel fuel’s going down, gasoline, all these things, all this happening. It’s going to just get back on the track.” No, it’s going off the track, and it’s not coming back because if it’s a turning point, then it would keep going.

 

A turn is a turn. The world, you have to be ready for it, for this turn.

 

Everybody’s driven a car, and it’s wet, and you go around a curve too fast, and you start thinking like, “I’m going too fast for that.” I do that all the time. I like it. But you feel that thing, and then you get unsteady like, “Woah, I was going too fast around that curve.”

 

So, we’re on a turning. Our Lady is here to make that turn pretty wide so you won’t skid off the road. But somewhere, it’s going to go off the road for those people who aren’t ready.

 

If you’re not ready, you’re going to crash.

 

We may crash with them, but because we’re ready, we’ve got safety belts. We’ve got the airbags, and that’s the messages.

 

So, this message is real clear.

 

“…My children, be ready. This time is a turning point…”

 

January 2, 2017

“…do not waste time…”

 

You don’t have time.

 

I’ve been doing this with Medjugorje almost thirty-four years, and before that, at least fifteen years working business and doing what I did, preparing, even before Medjugorje, I knew what I needed to do. I needed to be out of debt. I needed to be independent. I didn’t want to be dependent upon everybody else, what I get. And so, I was living the messages in a way that I never thought I would be underneath Our Lady, what She says, what you were doing is the right point to turn to.

 

In that same message, it says,

 

“…At the end of your journey on earth, the Heavenly Father will give [all the answers] to you…”

 

On February 2, 2009, Our Lady says,

 

“…Do not lose time…because you are not its masters…”

 

And that’s what’s wrong with us. We think we can master and control everything. And we have up to this point, but Our Lady’s driving everything now, and it’s not in your control.

 

March 18, 2017

“…I…”

 

Our Lady,

 

“…I also, as I passed the time on earth…”

 

And She said She,

 

“…rejoiced, suffered and patiently endured pains…”

 

And She says,

 

“…with true love…”

 

How She passed on time on the earth,

 

“…with true love, illuminate the darkness of selfishness which all the more envelops my children. Be generous…”

 

There’s many things through your life that you’re going to be reflecting, while you’re here walking these grounds, and even the Community, be thinking about what you’re doing, what we do, what we’re called to.

 

You can read too many books, too many things, the wrong thing. And when you get old, you’re young, or you’re older, what is it going to be like?

 

What did you do with your life?

 

The West, Our Lady said, monthly confession would be a remedy. That’s back in the early 80s. Our Lady said that! The West has made great advances, materially, but they’ve lost confession. Monthly confession would heal us.

 

Why didn’t the bishops say, “Hey! Everybody go to confession. Every priest be in the confessional thirty minutes before Mass and thirty minutes afterward.” You think people would come to confession? Yeah. It’s that simple!

 

There’s things in your life that you’ve got to change. We have everything we need through Our Lady.

 

Time. There’s always time. When you’re old, the only thing that’s going to be on your mind is time.

 

Did I waste time?

 

Our Lady said, “Don’t waste time. You’re not its masters.” And when your time runs out, every day, what did you do?

 

Is everything going to pass you by?

 

You’ll be saying,

 

“I regret that.”

 

“I wish I had made this turn.”

 

“I wish I would have followed.”

 

“I wish I would have given everything.”

 

But we’re occupied. And for a lot of people, there will be a lot of regrets. Deep regrets, because you’re filling up your chest right now, and it’s going to get older and older. And it’s going to be full of one thing or another. Things that you wish you wouldn’t have done, and things you wish you would have done.

 

[SONG]

Older chests reveal themselves, like a crack in a wall, starting small, and grow in time. And we always seem to need the help of someone else to mend that shelf of too many books. Read me your favorite line.

 

Papa went to other lands, and he found someone who understands the ticking, and the western man’s need to cry. He came back the other day, yeah you know, and he swore to God his life had changed. And some things, they stay the same.

 

Like time, there’s always time, on my mind. So pass me by. I’ll be fine. Just give me time.

 

Older gents sit on the fence with their cap in hand, looking grand. They watch their city change. Children scream, or so it seems, louder than before. Out of doors, and into stores with bigger names.

 

Mama tried to wash their faces, but these kids they lost their graces. And daddy lost at the races too many times

 

She broke down the other day, yeah you know. Some things in life may change, and some things, they stay the same.

 

Like time, there’s always time, on my mind. So pass me by. I’ll be fine. Just give me time. Time. There’s always time, on my mind. Pass me by. I’ll be fine. Just give me time.

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

The last words,

 

“Just give me time.”

 

Everybody will be saying that, whether you’re thirty years old, on your deathbed from some sickness, or you’re eighty.

 

“Just give me time.”

 

What does that define?

 

All the regrets, all the things you would change in your life, just if I could go back.

 

Thank God Our Lady is telling us, “Turn. This is the point to turn your life, to change it.”

 

Your message,

 

“…I call you, especially through this time…”

 

Our Lady says you’re chosen, but I say to you, you are chosen to live in this time.

 

May God’s divine providence…don’t waste it. We’re in serious moments. Your next days here, go deep into the messages. Open your heart. Our Lady will hear you here. She will hear and heal you. The scars are there, but we all need healing, because we live in a broken time in our life.

 

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

 

Mary, we give these days to You to speak through nature, through man, through various other ways. That’s Your words. We believe with faith that You can do that to all of us. You know what we need, and we’re here to seek it.

 

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of Thy Womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, amen.

 

Our Lady Queen of Peace and Reconciliation,

 

[PILGRIMS]

Pray for us.

 

[FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

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

    It’s a small miracle for me that a FOM mentioned the Angelus painting. A month ago I had really wanted that painting to hang in my house. I almost bought it online but something stopped me. Then I found it on the side of the road a week or so later. Now it hangs in the front of my house and every time I look at it I yearn for a more simple way of life in a simpler time.

    Just can´t hold it.Our Lady said in the message in the apparition of december 2, 2019
    “There where love reigns, time no longer counts” .
    This broadcast is like if time had stopped. Our Lady´s words are powerful and they change us deeply inside. Thank you for this broadcast and all the others. We will miss Our Lady when Medjugorje apparitions are over. We will regret so many things and every second lost not making Her more loved and known.

    And tme is like a commodity. Time is the ONE thing given equally to all of us. Where we are at in our lives we have SPENT all our time getting to that point.. I don’t want to regret not taking advantage of the special gifts we have – our Blessed Mother, Caritas, Medjorgie.

    Dear Friend,

    God Bless

    Thank the Lord, my brother’s found “time” to fix my trailer lights and help me pick up 38 old wooden windows to turn into the walls of the Greenhouse, FOM & Our Lady have put into my heart to build. We’ll drive over 115 miles one way to get them and God’s Awesome Providence, never ceases to amaze me. What a wonderful surprise the seller recently purchased an actual Lowe’s Stores, Garden Centers Translucent Roof, so now, I’ll have a roof as well. Dear Holy Mother, I pray all will be used for your Son’s Great Kingdom, thank your for giving me the Providence and awareness to prepare for this “Time,” we live in. May all of your children listening to FOM, even as late as it is, be blessed with the time they need if they start preparing their Hearts by Consecrating Everything to You and Your Son and listening to His witness on how best to get ready. We all know what we need to do, “….seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides.” Let God meet your needs, allow yourselves to be creative, and the Holy Spirit to lead you to what you need, “Even in these Times.” God Bless and Amen
