Message of the Blessed Virgin Mary

July 25, 2020

"Dear Children!

In this peaceless time in which the devil is harvesting souls to draw them to himself I am calling you to persevering prayer, so that in prayer you discover the God of love and hope. Little children, take the Cross in your hands. May it be your encouragement for love to always win, in a special way now when the Cross and faith are rejected. You be a reflection and an example with your lives that faith and hope are still alive and a new world of peace is possible. I am with you and intercede for you before my Son, Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call."

A Small Number goes to Heaven, the Majority to Purgatory,

Many go to Hell

I love sharing with you the knowledge I acquire in my Faith journey, hoping it will help you as it helps me. One of the things that helps my Faith is reading the messages of Our Lady, She have been giving around the world. It is so easy to be excited about apparitions of Our Lady, and of Jesus here around the world, but then pay little attention to the most important things about them, "THE MESSAGE" they give us. Yes it is good to know about these supernatural events, that prove to us, that there is more beyond this life, that Heaven is real, purgatory is and hell is real. However, it is not enough to know, the most important thing, is to know what to do to live a good life that lead us to Heaven, Our Lady and Jesus appear to call us to actions.

Our Lady in Kibeho said, "Those who go to Heaven are those who have worked for it" And then the good Mother offers us ways to work for Heaven, to avoid Hell and even shorten or avoid Purgatory through God's mercy with our work. I used to think, that as long as I go to purgatory I am fine. I realized that it put me in a weak position not to do my best to avoid even small sins or pray more, confess more. After I heard more about purgatory, I am working to go to Heaven straight, Jesus will be the Judge I know, but just like a student who works hard to pass an exam to the best and still wait for the judgment of the teacher to know how he or she did, I want to do my best without pretending I know for sure where I will go, but work hard anyway. There ia too much sufferings in the world, to miss out Heaven.

Purgatory is not pretty. It is a place of suffering, thankfully, it is not eternal, it ends one day. But it might last longer than life on earth, so it is not a place we wish to work for. It is possible to go to Heaven straight. Our Lady told the visionary Jalkov, the same day his mom died, that his mom was in Heaven. Also, Fr. Slavko, the day after he died, Our Lady revealed to the visionaries that he was in Heaven. Pope Jean Paul II, appeared to Ivan with Our Lady just few hours after he died. He appeared much younger and-very- happy. We might not compare ourselves to Jean Paul II, but at least we can try to be a good Mom like Jakov's mom. "Pray, pray, pray" Our Lady says.

On January 10, 1983 "There are different levels of which the lowest are close to Hell and the highest gradually draw near to Heaven. It is not on all souls day, but at Christmas, that the greatest numbers of souls leave Purgatory. There are in Purgatory, souls who pray ardently to God, but for whom no relative or friend prays for them on earth. God makes them benefit from the prayers of other people. It happens that God permits them to manifest themselves in different ways, close to their relatives on earth, in order to remind men of the existence of Purgatory, and to solicit their prayers close to God who is just, but good. The majority go to Purgatory. Many go to Hell. A small number go directly to Heaven."

January 19, 1984 "Pray and fast, because without prayer you cannot do anything."

February 4, 1984 "Pray, because prayer is very necessary to you. With prayer, your body and soul will find peace.."

February 20, 1984 "Pray and fast! I desire to purify you and to save you. For that, help me with your prayers."

February 29, 1984 "Pray! It may seem strange to you that I always speak of prayer. And yet I say: pray! Why do you hesitate? In Holy Scripture, you have heard say: 'Do not worry about tomorrow, each day will have its own worries.' Then do not worry about the other days. Be content with prayer, I, your Mother, will take care of the rest."

March 22, 1984 "Pray each day the 'Come Holy Spirit' and the 'Angelus'. God has given each one the will to decide for himself. My wish is for all to be converted, but I do not want to force anyone."

July 3, 1986 "Dear children! Today I am calling you all to prayer. Without prayer, dear children, you are not able to experience either God, or me or the graces which I am giving you. Therefore, my call to you is that the beginning and end of your day always be prayer.

April 2nd 2005 "Just hours after the Pope died. Visionary Ivan said: "When Mary appeared to me, I saw John Paul II by Her side: the Pope was smiling, he looked young and was really happy. He was dressed in white and with a golden coat The Virgin Mary turned toward him, and the two, looking at each other, both smiled an extraordinary, wonderful smile. John Paul II was ecstatic as he watched her and Our Lady said to me: "My dear son is here with me." www.immarculee.com www.facebook.com/immaculeee

'Leisure of the Holy Spirit' by Father James Peterson

(Excerpts)

The Kingdom of God is within you. When you have the courage and patience to go within, you will wonder why you have been out-to-lunch so long...God's ways are not our ways, and faith is the b ridge by which I cross from the worn tracks of my own inner struggles into the mind of God.

The most God like thing that you can do today is make Jesus Lord in your own life. He will accept your gift and be grateful for it. You can be sure of one thing, he loves you too much to waste a minute of your life. Jesus said, "You are my beloved child, and I am pleased with you."

"...I believe you are a spirit and that you seek those who will adore you in spirit and truth. I believe in you. I love you above all things. 'In every star you tell me that you love me.' 'And by your invitation, I want to come back to you. I want to live a new life with you, in the power of the Holy Spirit."

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Come 0 Holy Spirit beloved of my soul, I adore you.

Enlighten me, build me, strengthen me, and console me.

Tell me what I must do. Inspire me with what I must say.

Give me your orders

I promise to submit myself to You in all that You ask of

Me and accept all that You permit to happen to me.

Let me only know Your will, and do Your will. Amen

Let us pray:

May the divine assistance remain always with us and may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Biography of Mary Given to Ivanka, Vicka, and Mirjana

In July, we try to feature something on the visionary Ivanka when we publish her message from Our Lady on June 25th. Since Ivanka lives the most private live of all the six visionaries, it is hard to find material on her that we have not already used. My friend and proofreader, Pat Berrier, volunteered to help me in my quest to find something about Ivanka.

Pat found a video of a talk Ivanka gave in September of 2011. I think few people are aware that Ivanka was given Our Lady's life story. Pat thought it was Vicka, and she was right. Vicka has Our Lady's life story, as well as Migana. Pat summarized a part of what Ivanka said in her 2011 talk.

Ivanka had daily apparitions from 1981-1985, and during those years, Our Lady was telling her about Her own life.

She gave Ivanka her biography and told her about the future of the Church, and the world. All of this is written down. When she tells Ivanka to publish it, she will do so.

Ivanka's ministry is to pray for families. Our Lady said that Satan is so string. He wants to destroy our families, we destroy the whole world. If the family is a holy family, if the stability is strong, we don't have problems. Everything comes out of the family. Out of the family, we get good priests, good family members.

Our Lady invites us to accept the Sacrament of Matrimony. Matrimony should be Holy Matrimony. We should resume family prayer, go to Holy Mass on Sunday and have monthly Confession because we have a problem with being reconciled with ourselves. We need to have Confession in order to be reconciled. And then we will be able to go to Holy Mass, which is the center of our lives. And the Bible should be the center of our family lives. In the Bible, you find the meditation, divine meditation for all our wounds and pains, for all our crosses. So it is prayer.

Ivanka prays every day for all families in the world.

On June 24, 1984 in Medjugorje, Our Lady began appearing to six children. She identified Herself as the Blessed Virgin Queen of Peace. Her words to the visionaries: "I have come to tell the world that God exists. He is the fullness of life, and to enjoy this fullness and obtain peace, you must return to God."

Today, the Blessed Mother still appears daily to those of the visionaries, and monthly or annually to the others. 'They are all now adults. During the apparitions, the visionaries do not react to light, don't hear any sound or react to being touched. They feel that they are outside of time and space. They declare to see the Blessed Virgin Mary as they see other people - three dimensional. They pray and speak with her.

The Blessed Mother granted to confide ten secrets to each visionary (some are chastisements for the world) Some of the visionaries have received all ten secrets. Our Lady promised to leave a visible sign at the original site of the apparitions in Medjugorje, for all humanity. In the meantime, this period of grace is for conversion and a deepening of faith.

Father Jozo Zovko, who was the pastor of St. James when the apparitions began, has spoken about what he calls "the weapons" or " the five stones" of Our Lady (as in the story of Goliath).

They are PRAYER with the heart, especially the Rosary, EUCHARIST, BIBLE; monthly CONFESSION; and FASTING.

The publisher recognizes and accepts that the final authority regarding the apparitions at Medjugorje rests with the Holy See.
