I see there is a really huge pilgrimage in Medugorje at the minute from the Ukraine. They were held up at the Russian Border for 13 hours. I think there is about 3500 of them . A sign of the times. I see also that the Russian Military have begun building sites for burying their troops and cremating them a 100 at a time around the Ukrainian Border....they have also begun to make a huge effort to secure their citizens from Nuclear bombardment.... Civil Defense on a massive scale.. The Western media is of course not reporting this... Putin is not bluffing about Ukraine in the slightest... Not at all... This is what Our Lady meant in her Christmas message from Medugorje, the Russians are intensely Patriotic. This is why Mary comes as, 'Queen of Peace'.
The current American President, Biden is clearly gaa, gaa and out of it. Also the Americans clearly hate each other far more than they do anyone else. They are regarding their own navel like crazy. It's Putin's big chance. He'll never get another one like it. Russians are united. They see a common enemy and NATO encirclement. Time to press the Big Red button and go for it... Now or never...
I like how it seems like Our Lady was referencing the second reading in today's Mass in her message. Here is part of the second reading from the first letter of Saint John from today's Mass, the Feast of the Holy Family Beloved: See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. And so we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...population-fight-invasion-Russian-troops.html Russia releases footage of Christmas WAR GAMES in Crimea amid fears of Ukraine invasion as Putin announces he has launched a salvo of 'unstoppable' 6,670mph hypersonic missiles The Russian defence ministry has released a video showing large-scale war games conducted by its forces Russia has for weeks been amassing troops near the Ukrainian border, sparking fears of an imminent invasion The latest estimates from Kiev put the number of Russian troops along Ukraine's borders at around 104,000 It comes as Putin announced the successful test-firing of a salvo of Russia's Mach-9 capable Zircon missiles Oleksiy Danilov, Ukraine's Defence Council Secretary, said yesterday that Putin 'wants to destroy Ukraine' 'We want Russians to withdraw their troops and tanks and go home, but Putin does not want this,' said Danilov A new video released on Christmas Day showed the Russian army drilling in 'new forms and methods of modern combined arms combat in the Voronezh region' - which borders Ukraine. The video shows more than 1,200 air assault troops and 250 pieces of military equipment engaged in military drills in snow and fog at the Opuk range in Crimea, annexed by Russia from Ukraine in 2014, and at the Rayevsky range near Novorossiysk in Krasnodar region, close to the Ukrainian border. The show of strength - coinciding with Christmas celebrations in the West - comes as Vladimir Putin maintains 100,000-plus troops and heavy military equipment on Ukraine's border, leading to fears he intends an imminent invasion. Russian President Vladimir Putin also announced a successful salvo launch of Russia's Mach-9 capable Zircon missiles which Russia boasts can evade all missile defences. 'Zircon are our newest missiles fired from the sea at sea targets, and land targets,' he said. 'The tests were carried out successfully, flawlessly. This is a big event for our country, a significant step in improving Russia's security, in increasing (our) defence capability.' It is the first time a successful Zircon salvo test has been reported, and was announced personally by Putin.
look at how much Mirjana is suffering in this video just one month before her '2nd day of the month apparitions' halted and the covid pandemic began. It makes me wonder if Our Lady was showing her the future.
I have definitely not watched every 2nd of the month video, but it appears that in this 3/2020 apparition Mirjana's expressions weigh more in the direction of concern and anguish, than they do in joy. What that infers , I'm unsure. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
No need to worry, every time Vicka gets a message she is always smiling. Sometimes I wonder if Mirjana only gets negative messages and Vicka just gets the good ones.
this was the message given to Mirjana that day: https://www.medjugorje.ws/en/messages/200202s/ to Mirjana “Dear children! By the act of the decision and love of God, I am chosen to be the Mother of God and your mother. But also by my will and my immeasurable love for the Heavenly Father and my complete trust in Him, my body was the chalice of the God-man. I was in the service of truth, love and salvation, as I am now among you to call you, my children, apostles of my love, to be carriers of truth; to call you to spread His words, the words of salvation, by your will and love for my Son: that with your actions you may show, to all those who have not come to know my Son, His love. You will find strength in the Eucharist-my Son who feeds you with His Body and strengthens you with His Blood. My children, fold your hands [in prayer] and look at the Cross in silence. In this way, you are drawing faith to be able to transmit it; you are drawing truth to be able to discern; you are drawing love that you may know to love truly. My children, apostles of my love, fold your hands [in prayer], look at the Cross. Only in the Cross is salvation. Thank you. ”
Don't forget, some of her anguish is due to excruciating knees. That is a penance she has chosen to take on. All six need our prayers, as we ALL do.
Vicka hasn't yet received the 10th secret, which I believe is the most serious one of all. Mirjana has known all 10 secrets for a long time and said that Mary told her she was able to understand sooner than some of the others and was thus prepared to receive all the secrets sooner. But Mirjana needs comfort from Mary to sustain her every time she thinks of the later secrets... She can't bear them on her own, they're so awful. I think that's part of her suffering, along with a more melancholy personality and a great longing to be with Mary and God. When I've been in her presence, I can see such a deep spiritual peace in her but a painful longing for God and the conversion of others. You can see the great burden of what she knows. Vicka has a tremendous joy and vivacious personality. She is outgoing, while Mirjana is an introvert. You can't not smile in her presence. Perhaps Mary has spared her some of the worst details of future events in order to preserve that beautiful radiating joy in her that is so comforting to others. They all have their role to play. Vicka has terrible physical suffering, though, which has periodically left her bedridden and forced her to undergo several surgeries. She has been in comas, where she sits up in ecstasies for her meetings with Mary, then falls back into the coma. She has the most debilitating splitting headaches... But she also has some great spiritual gifts like healing and bilocation, and has been given many details of Mary's hidden life that she's written down for a future date. It is certainly interesting that the 3 visionaries that are most upbeat and people-oriented are the ones with only 9 secrets, and the 3 quieter ones who seem more reflective are the ones with all 10 secrets. I think some may be burdened more than others with certain sobering aspects of the future, and are helping atone for others through a certain sharing of the suffering hearts of Mary and Jesus.
We cannot begin to grasp any of her pain or struggles. After being there in November, my heart breaks for the whole village.
The Minister General of the Franciscan Order, Fr. Massimo Fusarelli, made a pilgrimage to Medjugorje over New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. He met with Cardinal Puljic and others. This report is from Medjugorje Every day. FR. MASSIMO FUSARELLI: I AM TAKING A PILGRIMAGE HERE TO INVOKE A LIVING FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST 01/01/2022 On the last day of 2021, pilgrims from Sweden, Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Austria, Ukraine, Slovakia, Slovenia, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Mexico and Croatia visited Medjugorje. Prayer vigil in the church of St. James in Medjugorje before the Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the World Day of Peace began at 10pm, followed by a Mass at 11.30pm, which marked the start of the new year concelebration with a hundred priests. The Provincial of the Franciscan Province of Herzegovina, Fr. Miljenko Šteko, welcomed him in Medjugorje, and the parish priest of Medjugorje, Fr. Marinko Šakota, thanked him for coming, and at the end wished many pilgrims a Happy New Year. in their languages. “May the Lord look upon you and give you peace! On this first day of the year dedicated to the Mother of God and to prayer for peace, the words of the so-called blessing of Aaron enlighten us for a new time that is opening: it is the face of God that shows us direction and gives us peace. We don't start the year by relying on ourselves and our ability to sow and achieve peace. Christ is our peace! We know that peace is a gift that comes from above, it is a blessing for us , it is a promise of good " , are the words with which Fr Massimo Fusarelli began his homily and invited everyone to" welcome this gift of peace ". “ I came as a pilgrim to this Shrine to begin the new year and bring here, with joy and faith, above all the brothers of the Order of Friars Minor, the Poor Sisters of St. Clare and many members of the Franciscan Family. I am making a pilgrimage here to invoke for all of us a living faith in Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word, center of the universe and of history. Here I am a pilgrim, as the heir of St. Francis, who “flooded the Mother of Jesus with an unspeakable love because she gave us a brother, the Lord. In this place, in Medjugorje, for many years now, many people have seen the flame of faith rekindled in them in listening to the Word of God, in the celebration of the sacraments, especially in the sacrament of Reconciliation and the Eucharist. Here, too, freedom opens up to the discovery of the gift of prayer, especially through silence and adoration. And this is why many in this place have experienced the gift of reconciliation and peace ", said the General of the Franciscan Order, explaining how we find it all" in the Virgin Mary, Mother of God and our sister in faith ". As St. Francis and Mary say, we can truly become a house, a palace, a sanctuary of God, in the middle of the world. As on her, the Spirit of the Lord will rest on us, will find a home and abode in us. (St. Francis, Letter to the faithful, I, 5-10: FF 178/2.) Here is a new life, which is the fruit of peace, and which is born from the acceptance of Jesus Christ, the Word incarnate in the womb of the Virgin Mary: it is a gift that many have experienced in this place and that many others will be able to receive. We pray that this work of God will continue and grow according to His will. Let us pray that peace will promote the full development of the people, and that, as Pope Francis told us on this day, "Intergenerational dialogue, education and work: the means to build lasting peace" may grow. (Pope Francis, Message for the World Day of Peace 2022) Let us pray that faith may grow in our Franciscan Family, among us Friars Minor, and that the presence of the Virgin Mary be rediscovered in the heart of our charism. Let us pray that the presence and action of the Friars Minor in this place become a solid door of listening and mercy for many who come here. May the Mother of God, Queen of Peace, who made our brother the Supreme Lord, continue to bless us and accompany us in peace. Happy New Year! Amen.

Beautiful! On my last trip to Medjugorje, what struck me above all else was the overwhelming beauty of the dozens and dozens of faithful, reverent priests concelebrating Mass each day, hearing confessions for hours, and walking around ready to give blessings. Unlike in that strange Mass in Knock Padraig posted about in another thread, there were no Eucharistic ministers...just countless beautiful priests streaming out from the altar to the people to give each one of the huge crowd Holy Communion. On my first trip to Medjugorje, I cried to a priest in confession about a certain vice I couldn't seem to shake and he prayed for me to receive the Holy Spirit in a more powerful way than I'd felt Him in my Confirmation. He gave a small "blow" to my cheek and I was bowled over with the most profound sense of being loved and filled with light and strength that I literally ran out of the confessional sobbing with joy (very unlike myself, as I am a quiet, reserved person in public, lol). The most amazing gift Mary is giving us in Medjugorje is a calling, renewal, and strengthening of our priests. They are indeed our bridge to her Triumph.
Mir Center of Western Colorado in Grand Junction puts out the Medjugorje Daily newsletter. home | medjugorjedaily.com I think they have pdfs at the site besides the physical copies, some good reading for those who like this apparition.
Radio Maria director, Medjugorje 'messenger' suspended By Ding Cervantes of the SUN Star (Philippines) January 9, 2022 FATHER Livio Fanzaga, known as the “messenger” of the Medjugorje Marian apparitions, was recently suspended for six months as director of Radio Maria for his alleged harsh words for an Italian solon pushing some kind of “sexual liberation.” His predicament is one that portends the biblical sign of the times. From his frequent interviews of the visionaries of Medjugorje (where the Blessed Mother has been appearing since 1981), he was well aware of what has been happening in the world and how all could turn out as prophesied. Once, he said, “the coronavirus comes from the devil, it is a test: the solution is to renounce Satan and return to God” and that “the cult of Mother Earth is one form of false religion; it's terrible and ridiculous.” Fr. Livio has said that already, “Satan reigns, Our Lady calls us to conversion.” It was really an indirect quote of the Blessed Mother who had once said in Medjugorje: “Be more united with God, Satan reigns and wants to destroy your lives and the planet on which you walk.” “Satan's plan has already been implemented; the false religion of man who has replaced God rules the world,” Fr. Livio also once said, and this we see in how the world is responding to the coronavirus pandemic: fear over virus seems to reign and world leaders respond almost by instinct to the dictates of iatrarchy seated at the World Health Organization (WHO). It’s a rehearsal toward universal control, a prophesied return of communism worldwide with the Antichrist at the helm. “Our Lady has a plan to save humanity; this is the time of the spiritual battle that prepares the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary,” Fr. Livio had said. “Terrible things will happen, everyone will have to decide whether to entrust themselves to God or not, eternal salvation is at stake.” Unlike others whose quotes I have been sharing in this space, Fr. Livio is not a mystic. HIs being a “messenger” of Medjugorje, however, has earned him significant credibility in the things he says. More on the pandemic, Fr. Livio once remarked: “Covid criminal project of world elites.” Further, he said “you can trash what I say, maybe I myself will correct myself, but by acquiring new knowledge I have remained with the basic idea that I told you at the beginning: this epidemic is a project not random, which does not come from the bats or the Wuhan market. It developed as a very specific project to strike the West, perhaps not only from China. It is a deliberate fact and this epidemic has been tested, proven: a simulation was done while we were not aware. It started in Brazil, causing 60 million deaths, with a simulation of the Gates Foundation. And then in fact it came about exactly like that.” “I tell you how I think, this epidemic is a project that I have always attributed to the devil who acts through criminal minds who have achieved it with a very specific purpose: to create a sudden transition, after ideological preparation, politics and mass media, for a media coup d’état. A project aimed at weakening humanity, bringing it to its knees, establishing a sanitary and cybernetic dictatorship, creating a new world that is no longer of God the Creator, through the elimination of all those who do not say yes to this criminal project carried out by world elites, with complicity perhaps of some state,” Fr. Livio also said. Noting that the Medjugorje apparitions would be on their 40th year and saying the number was “a symbolic number from the biblical point of view,” Fr. Livio saiid “the shift means that we are now entering a period of trials, which concerns the faith, it is the time of the 10 secrets: it will be an incredible trial, never happened before in the history of the Church, which must be interpreted in the light of Revelation.” “It is the time of the great spiritual battle, at the end of which the two beasts – financial, political, mass media power on one side and false religion on the other – will be cast “into the pool of fire and sulphur” and the Lamb will win. It’s the time of the 10 secrets, you say. There's been much speculation about these secrets (as revealed to the Medjugorje visionaries),” he said. On the secrets, Fr. Livio added: “The first two will be in Medjugorje; this will have to be an example of how to deal with secrets. The third will be a visible, indestructible sign in Medjugorje, proof that Our Lady has really been there. Then all the others, in an apocalyptic context of anguish and fear for what will happen: every man in the world will have to decide whether to believe or not to believe, and decide what to do. Because it will be some event in a precise place, so there will be decisions to be made.” He added: “But above all: to trust in God or not to trust in God? Eternal fate depends on it. It is the time of great decisions, and it will be up to each person to decide for himself. A bit like what happened with the Coronavirus, this is a test of what could happen. Terrible things will happen, but Our Lady offers us the chance to save ourselves, Mary's power will save humanity. But beware, Our Lady warned us: do not wait for the time of secrets to convert, it may be too late. Those whose hearts are hardened will risk closing down even more.” As churches and religious icons are being physically attacked in some Western countries, Fr. Livio commented: “Among the things that are happening, what strikes us is how the so-called antiracist movement began with attacking statues and ended up attacking representations of Jesus, Mary, St. Michael the Archangel. It's shocking.” He added: “Shocking but enlightening. For the simple reason that Satan is behind it, fuelling the hatred; and Satan’s hatred always ends up on Jesus Christ and Our Lady. There is nothing to be done, it is the endpoint. Our Lady repeats it many times: Satan wants hatred and war. And so in the world that is Satan's kingdom there is hatred, and hatred grows continuously and ends up striking the Church, the Marians, Jesus Christ, Our Lady, the saints. That's Satan’s endgame.” Even before the coronavirus pandemic, the Blessed Mother warned on 25 July 2019: “The trials will come and you will not be strong, Satan will roar, but if you are mine you will win”. Stressing the need for conversion for such winning, Fr. Livio said: “As Our Lady said to the children, there is a battle between Jesus and the devil. Souls are saved through conversion, our conversion above all. This pandemic is the instrument through which they want to create the New World Order, to impose the ideology of the Man-God, to impose the Antichristic creed on everyone, right from the start, in the nurseries. It is clear that the epidemic leads to all this. The only way out is by returning to God,” he also stressed.
Outstanding article! Fr Livio’s explanation actually says much the same as many of the seers who are not approved by the Vatican.
