Medjugorje message 25 March 2015

“Dear children! Also today the Most High permits me to be with you and to lead you on the way of conversion. Many hearts have shut themselves to grace and have become deaf to my call. You, little children, pray and fight against temptation and all the evil plans which the devil offers you through modernism. Be strong in prayer and with the cross in your hands pray that evil may not use you and may not conquer in you. I am with you and pray for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

 

'..... and all the evil plans which the devil offers you through modernism'

Wow !! Very,very pointed. Our Mother to me is pointing here ,to me to the Chruch itself!! Remarkable. Aslo perhaps to the Synod.

I feel like stnading up and cheering. I had these very thougths myself, but was worried in case I was going too far.

'Be strong in prayer and with the cross in your hands pray that evil may not use you and may not conquer in you'

More cheering.a warning notto swallow certian stuff certain Cardinals and Bishops are trying to sell us ..the schmucks.

 

I was asked by my PP to attend a meeting that was collecting input to prepare a submission for the Synod. There were 5 priests and about a dozen laity present. We were asked to break up into groups to discuss all the issues 're communion to people in second relationships etc. After a while it dawned on me that I was the odd one out. The priests to a man will swallow anything. My contribution on the need to support sacramental marriage and reaffirm it was omitted from the final presentation. All fluff, the church of nice. The church here in Ireland is very weak. Glad to read this message which is so strong. I despair of our church leaders.p

 

But it is agreat relief, Mary to have the mother of God speak out so strongly.

at least she is not a wimp. I am delighted.

 

Such a direct message may cause some in the Church to push to suppress Medjugorje.

 

Yes.

Although Our Lady would have been aware of this herself when she said it.

 

Wow.

Is this the first time Out Heavenly Mother has been so direct in Medjugorje? Has She ever spoken so bluntly before?

 

Yup. Occurred to me when I read the "M" word. Immediately.

 

Only once before has she used the term 'modernism'.

“Dear children! God gave you the grace to live and to defend all the good that is in you and around you, and to inspire others to be better and holier; but satan, too, does not sleep and through modernism diverts you and leads you to his way. Therefore, little children, in the love for my Immaculate Heart, love God above everything and live His Commandments. In this way, your life will have meaning and peace will rule on earth. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

 

Our Lady is my hero. What a woman.

Our Lady Hammer of Heretics, pray for us.

“One day, through the Rosary and the Scapular, Our Lady will save the world.”
Saint Dominic


1. Mary of Agreda ~
The Venerable Mary of Agreda, who lived in the 17th century, left this Marian message for us today:
"It was revealed to me that through the intercession of the Mother of God, all heresies will disappear. This victory over heresies has been reserved by Christ for His Blessed Mother...Before the Second Coming of Christ, Mary must, more than ever, shine in mercy, might and grace in order to bring unbelievers into the Catholic Faith."

Medjugorje message, March 25, 2015
• We follow our will, but doing so our heart hardens and becomes of stone. And the Word of the Lord cannot penetrate. Thus the people get more and more distant. This is also the risk in our personal histories. Now, on this day of lent, we must ask ourselves: “Do I listen to the voice of the Lord or do I do what I please?”
Pope Francis, homily, March 12, 2015

 

Arrangement ban is based on misquotation
By Jakob Marschner on Mar 23, 2015
When the Vatican’s doctrinal office took away permission to participate in Medjugorje events, it did so by misquoting a statement from the Yugoslav bishops. The error is critical and damaging, and has caused people to believe Medjugorje is at best questionable, says author Wayne Weible.

The decisive part of the letter in which the Vatican’s doctrinal office forbids participation in events that take the authenticity of the apparitions in Medjugorje for granted
Medjugorje arrangements are being cancelled, and the visionaries are increasingly being kept from appearing in public outside of Medjugorje due to the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) misquoting the only official Church document on Medjugorje.
This document, the April 10th 1991 so-called Zadar Declaration from the Catholic bishops of then-Yugoslavia, was the only document referred to when CDF on October 21st 2013, via the papal nuncio to the United States, circulated a letter forbidding participation in events that take the authenticity of the apparitions “for granted” to all the American bishops. Recently, the letter was re-inforced to have visionary Ivan Dragicevic’s scheduled appearance in St. Charles, MO, cancelled.

Cardinal Franjo Kuharic of Zagreb (1919-2002) chaired the Yugoslavian Bishops Conference that formulated the Catholic Church’s only official statement on Medjugorje in the 1991 Zadar Declaration which is now being misquoted by the Vatican’s doctrinal office. Cardinal Kuharic’s cause for beatification will now be postulated by Croatians, it was recently revealed
But the passage from the Zadar Declaration that CDF employed as jumpboard for the ban does not quote the Zadar Declaration correctly.
Two words were omitted, and the apparitions were no longer mentioned in present tense, as in the Zadar Declaration, but in past tense. Errors which have been causing serious damage to Medjugorje and the credibility of the visionaries, says Wayne Weible, the author of ten books on the events of Medjugorje.
With the changes to the Zadar Declaration, it appears as if the Yugoslav bishops closed the case of Medjugorje with a negative decision in 1991 while their declaration in fact left the case open.
“On the basis of the investigations, so far (our emphasis, ed.) it cannot be affirmed that one is (our emphasis, ed.) dealing with supernatural apparitions and revelations” the Yugoslav bishops wrote in the Zadar Declaration.
“On the basis of the research that has been done, it is not possible to state that there were (our emphasis, ed.) apparitions or supernatural revelations” CDF quoted the declaration in 2013, having first referred to the Zadar Declaration as a document that “all should accept”.

The postman: Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, the papal nuncio to the United States, circulated the restriction letter on Medjugorje to the American bishops upon CDF’s order
The misquoted part of the Zadar Declaration was the only material used by CDF to justify why participation in Medjugorje events is no longer permitted. In the following paragraph of the letter, CDF concludes:
“It follows, therefore, that clerics and the faithful are not permitted to participate in meetings, conferences or public celebrations during which the credibility of such “apparitions” would be taken for granted. In order, therefore, to avoid scandal and confusion, (CDF Prefect) Archbishop Müller asks that the Bishops be informed of this matter as soon as possible.”

The initiator: the restriction letter on Medjugorje was sent to the American bishops at the request of Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the Prefect of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
Emphasizing that the case of the authenticity of Medjugorje was being left open, the Yugoslav bishops ended the Zadar Declaration by stating they would keep on following the place:
” (…) through their Commission (the Yugoslav bishops) will continue to keep up with and investigate the entire event in Medjugorje” the bishops stated in 1991.
Before CDF’s circulated letter of restrictions in 2013, the Zadar Declaration had never been employed to stop events related to Medjugorje.

Wayne Weible: “the carelessness of this error cannot be overlooked due to the damage it has done to the followers of Medjugorje here in the United States”
The misquotations are very serious, says author Wayne Weible.
“The error has caused people to withdraw from any event concerning Medjugorje, including conferences, gatherings and pilgrimages to the site. In fact, there is strong sentiment among the faithful that the Church is stating that the apparitions at Medjugorje are questionable at best” Wayne Weible tells Medjugorje Today.
“Were the two words deliberately left out of the quoted statement? I would like to think not, but the carelessness of this error cannot be overlooked due to the damage it has done to the followers of Medjugorje here in the United States. Pilgrimages to the village are down considerably and there are only a handful of conferences that focus on the apparitions – this from a country that sent millions of pilgrims there in the eighties” Weible continues.

Medjugorje visionary Ivan Dragicevic with whom a public arrangement in Missouri was recently cancelled when CDF’s restriction letter was being re-inforced
The author points out that CDF’s restriction letter also contains misspellings, and displays “lack of respect and possibly bias”.
“Adding to this obvious error of omission of these important words, the name “Medjugorje” is twice misspelled in the letter as “Medjogurje”, and visionary Ivan Dragicevic is referred to as one of the “so-called” visionaries, lending further evidence that it was written in haste and possibly with bias. Referring to Ivan as a so-called visionary shows a lack of respect of him and the apparitions, which the Church may one day rule as worthy of belief, making him an authentic visionary of the Blessed Virgin” Wayne Weible says.

Ex-Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls
Banning participation in Medjugorje arrangements also contradicts a statement of clarification given on August 21st 1996 by then-Vatican Press Office spokesman Dr. Joaquin Navarro-Valls, Wayne Weible calls to mind:
“You cannot say people cannot go there until it has been proven false. This has not been said, so anyone can go if they want” Joaquin Navarro-Valls said.
“Frankly, the harshness of the language of (CDF’s) letter is damaging in itself by stating that the faithful are not permitted to attend meetings, gatherings, conferences or any celebrations that would take for granted that the apparitions are authentic. On the contrary, the faithful, as individuals, are allowed to believe in, promote, make pilgrimage, write about and attend such events until the Church formally rules on an alleged apparition. We are then to accept the ruling as obedient members of the Church” Wayne Weible says.
“I can only hope the CDF would acknowledge the error and issue a corrected announcement with corrected and less harsh language” he concludes.

 

Be strong in prayer and with the cross in your hands pray that evil may not use you and may not conquer in you

This request from Our lady really stands our for me. Things are going to get a whole lot worse when we will be all tempted to despair so Cling to the Cross. Its a very stark message. I dont think there has been such a stark message given on 25th before.

Mary

 

I am going to Medjugorje for two weeks in May. Somehow I have a feeling and something tells me that it will be my last time going there for a few years judging by the way things are developing at the moment with the economy and the instability that is around the world at the moment.

 

I was watching the last few days 'The Fruits of Medugorje ' series on utube.

It is just wonderful

It probably will be the last time, you're right make the best of it.

 

Thanks Padraig, I'm looking forward to going there. I always think a trip to Medjugorje is better than any holiday

 

Well it is just a huge grace and gift. I am very humbled watching so many of the people talking about having gone there.

Actually I was watching one lady who reminded me so much of my late Aunt Rosie I sent her an email today inviting her to the forum.

Extraordinary stories of grace. But if the this story of this blessed village is to end, no doubt it will be because God has something even bigger in store.

 

I too am heading for Medjuorje 27 May. I've been every year since 2001 and I also feel this will be my last year. If you are there that week send me a pm and we could meet for a coffee at Columbos. I'm so looking forward to it.

 

Hi Maryrose, I will be there from the 10th to the 24th of May so I don't know will we be there at the same time, but if we are then Columbos is a good spot to meet up. I always think it is the nicest restaurant in Medjugorje
