From Sr. Emmanuel- Apparition of June 24, at 11:30 pmLast day of the Novena on Podbrdo The visionaries Ivan and Marija were together to receive Our Lady’ apparition. Here are Marija’s words after the apparition: “At the time of the apparition when Gospa came, Ivan and I offered up this novena to her. Our Lady was very joyful and smiled, she also laughed. She thanked us for our prayers and sacrifices and she said, “continue to do as you have done! (which means to pray for peace). “Gospa came dressed in a golden dress (that she wears for special feast days like Christmas). She was standing on a cloud with a crown of stars around her head. “We recommended to Gospa all of us, all of our intentions, and everything we have in our hearts. “Today again Gospa prayed in her motherly language, Aramaic. “She prayed over us for a very long time and she blessed us all. “Then she left to Heaven.”
I looked to see if there were any previous messages where Our Lady ever had a crown of stars around her head in the concordance, I could not find any. Obviously she is signaling that she is the woman of Revelation. But the fact she is doing this now, for what appears to be the first time in 43 years, is significant. So the indicators we have is that she was coming at night which indicates a watch, to be watchful. She was praying to Jesus the whole time. She indicates that this is about revelation through the crown. She was also wearing gold. I guess it is time to start refreshing on revelation 12.
My own thoughts when I watched Mary Tv last night and they announced Our Lady came dressed in Gold I instantly thought of Our Lady of Knock her message then was unspoken and of course as the song says And the lamb will conquer And the woman clothed in the sun Will shine her light on everyone Golden Rose, Queen of Ireland All our cares and troubles cease Maybe an indication that she was dressed in Gold is her triumph is at hand
Message, 25. June 2024 “Dear children! I rejoice with you and thank God for permitting me to be with you, to lead you and love you. Little children, peace is in danger and the family is under attack. I am calling you, little children: return to prayer in the family. Put Sacred Scripture in a visible place and read it every day. Love God above all that it may be good for you on earth. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
OUR LADY’S ANNUAL APPARITION TO IVANKA - JUNE 25, 2024 The visionary Ivanka Ivankovic-Elez had her regular annual apparition on June 25th 2024. At her last daily apparition on May 7, 1985, Our Lady confided to Ivanka the 10th secret and told her that she would have an apparition once a year on the anniversary of the apparitions. It was that way also this year. The apparition, which lasted 6 minutes (18:37h - 18:43h), took place at Ivanka’s family home. Only Ivanka’s family was present at the apparition. After the apparition, Ivanka said: Our Lady gave the following message: My children,pray,pray,pray. Receive my motherly blessing.
The visionaries have always said Mary appeared with a crown of stars, it's just never been part of the messages. 43. Does Our Lady have any kind of ornament at all? She has no kind. 44. For example, on her head or around the head? Yes - she has a crown of stars on her head. 45. Are there always stars around her head? Ordinarily there are - there always are. (Vicka) 46. For example, when she appears with Jesus? She's the same way. 47. How many stars are there? There are twelve of them. 48. What colour are they? Golden - gold colour. 49. Are they in any way connected with each other? They are connected with something - so that can stay up. (Vicka) Medjugorje | Detailed Description of Our Lady
Father Chris Alar used today’s gospel about knowing a tree by its fruit to discuss his upcoming pilgrimage to Medjugorje. Apparently he has been criticized by many Catholics who misunderstand the Church’s position on these apparitions. He sets the record straight during this homily which starts at the 10:00 minute mark. This is worth listening to as he ends with the miraculous event that God graced him with during his first visit. It really is amazing! https://www.youtube.com/live/EXGp9R8d-R0?si=4dbI79l_1XVQtuHt
An intersting writing here … one that may cause you to pause. I do believe that any technology- cell phone, computers, TV can be told that lead you down wrong path. But, they also can be used as good tools. I think it’s wise to be aware of how technology can be misused. https://medjugorje.com/test-time/
Message, 25. July 2024 ''My dear children, with joy I have chosen you and am leading you, because in you, little children, I see people of faith, hope and prayer. May you, little children, be led by the pride that you are mine, and I am leading you to Him, Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. And I am with you so that peace may win in you and around you, because it is with this intention God sent me to you. Thank you for having responded to my call.''
This is so amazing that Our Lady uses the word “pride” here. Usually pride has a negative connotation. In fact I think the saying is pride is at tge root of all evil. In many ways a tool of the evil one. But I love that Our Lady who has said we are in a battle is taking away this tool from the evil one and saying have pride that we belong to her and her Son.
Marija thought this last message was one of the most beautiful Our Lady had given… https://medjugorje.com/one-of-the-most-beautiful-messages-our-lady-has-given/
I was thinking and praying about this message and I think it is a cause of concern. I don't know anywhere in Scripture, the writings of the Popes, the saints , mystics anywhere that we are invited to take pride in ourselves for anything. Pride is always seen as the first deadly sin and spiritual pride the worst of all. I might assume the use of the word, 'Pride',here might be a mistranslation? If it is not a mistranslation I cannot accept that this message is of God. In fact quite the opposite. I believe it is very, very dangerous indeed.
