Not seers’ duty to convince says cardinal“It is not the seers’ duty to convince; it is their duty to communicate. Regardless of the future final judgment on these phenomena, one thing is evident: the messages are simply evangelical, they have common sense: prayer, peace, reconciliation with God and amongst us, and we always, always have to remember that there is no greater miracle than Eucharist itself; the coming of Jesus amongst us, in the poorest village, in the most beautiful cathedral, in St Peter's Basilica in Rome...”
• Christoph cardinal Schönborn.
In an interview given to kath.net Cardinal Schönborn, the Archbishop of
Vienna, has made more comment about his time spent in Medjugorje
recently .
He said that it was rather unusual for a Cardinal to visit Medjugorje
as a pilgrim but has since heard that several other cardinals and
bishops had been there in a very private way.
He added that Medjugorje is now one of the greatest pilgrimage sites in the world to travel to.
This story was sent to me in one of those messages that circulate around the web with a request that it needs to be sent to xx number of people and so on. The story is quite interesting and I thought I would put it on my site and for those that wanna take the time to read it please click read more below and those that don't, no worries.
Today I am calling you to, with complete trust and love, set out with me, because I desire to acquaint you with my Son. Do not be afraid, my children, I am here with you, I am next to you. I am showing you the way to forgive yourselves, to forgive others, and, with sincere repentance of heart, to kneel before the Father. Make everything die in you that hinders you from loving and saving – that you may be with Him and in Him. Decide for a new beginning, a beginning of sincere love of God Himself. Thank you.
Our friend, Jim Browne from Westport, Ireland, was on an Irish Radio Station, Midwest Radio, sharing powerful stories about Medjugorje. It is a great program that ran for 45 minutes. I adopted this from the midwestradio.ie, it is available on their website for 7 days only and then it gets deleted automatically, so I figured I would upload it here and keep it for good. Jim is below with , an Irish health care professional who is also featured on the radio program.
Christopher Cardinal Schönborn, Cardinal Archbishop of Vienna, arrived in Medjugorje today, December 28, 2009, to celebrate the New Year and enjoy a few days of quiet prayer time. On his first visit to St. James Parish of Medjugorje, Cardinal Schönborn was greeted today by Fr. Petar Vlasic, the Pastor, and met with the Franciscan Friars including former pastor, Fr. Tomislav Pervan. Cardinal Schönborn shared that he plans to spend time with the Cenacolo Community and meet with Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti, one of the six visionaries of Medjugorje. He intends to be available to hear confession and will be celebrating midnight Mass at St. James Church on New Year’s Eve.
At
the last daily apparition to Jakov Colo on September 12th, 1998, Our
Lady told him that henceforth he would have one apparition a year,
every December 25th, on Christmas Day. This is also how it was this
year. The apparition began at 14:35 am and lasted 12 minutes.
Our Lady gave the following message:
“Dear children! All
of this time in which God in a special way permits me to be with you, I
desire to lead you on the way that leads to Jesus and to your
salvation. My little children, you can find salvation only in God and
therefore, especially on this day of grace with little Jesus in my
arms, I call you to permit Jesus to be born in your hearts. Only with
Jesus in your heart can you set out on the way of salvation and eternal
life. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
VATICAN CITY, DEC. 23, 2009 (Zenit.org). - Here is a translation of the address Benedict XVI gave today during the general audience in Paul VI Hall.
Dear brothers and sisters,
With the Christmas novena that we are celebrating in these days, the Church invites us to live intensely and profoundly the preparation for the birth of the Savior, which is nearly upon us.
The desire that all of us have in our hearts is that, in the midst of the frenetic activity of our days, the coming feast of Christmas gives us serene and profound joy to enable us to touch the goodness of our God with our hands and to fill us with new energy.

Possess my soul. Take over my entire personality and life.
Replace it with yourself.
Incline me to constant adoration and thanksgiving.
Pray in me and through me.
Let me live in you and keep me in this union always.

MARIAN CONSECRATION
I, (name), a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in your hands, O Immaculate Mother, the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before.
In the presence of all the heavenly court, I choose you this day for my Mother and Queen. I deliver and consecrate to you, as your slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present, and future; leaving to you the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to your good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and eternity. Amen. - St. Louis Marie de Montfort
