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.
Hello all, I know this is a bit late, but I wanted to share with you all that we had a few hours of snow here in Medjugorje. It started forming Sat. afternoon, we had the loveley white blanket for a few hours until it started raining. Athough snow is not a common thing here and everything stops once we have snow, the trafic is slowed down, the school is usualy closed and so on but it does bring a dose of joy and especially now in this advent time and anticipation of the birth of Jesus. :-)
At this time of preparation and joyful expectation I, as a mother, desire to point you to what is the most important, to your soul. Can my Son be born in it? Is it cleansed by love from lies, arrogance, hatred and malice? Above all else does your soul love God as your Father and does it love your fellow brother in Christ? I am pointing you to the way which will raise your soul to a complete union with my Son. I desire for my Son to be born in you. What a joy that would be for me as mother. Thank you.
Today, we remember a special man a special franciscan, Fr. Slavko, it has been 9 years since he passed away but he is still alive through the projects he started and the number of book he wrote.
Please remember him in your prayers, remember, he remembered all of us as he introcided with Our Lady for us.
Message of our Lady of November 25, 2000.
"Dear children! Today when Heaven is near to you in a special way, I call you to prayer so that through prayer you place God in the first place. Little children, today I am near you and I bless each of you with my motherly blessing so that you have the strength and love for all the people you meet in your earthly life and that you can give God’s love. I rejoice with you and I desire to tell you that your brother Slavko has been born into Heaven and intercedes for you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
I give you the weapon against your Goliath, here are your little stones: 1. Pray the Rosary 2. Eucharist 3. Holy Bible 4. Fasting 5. Monthly confession
“Dear children! With great joy, also today, I desire to call you anew: pray, pray, pray. May this time be a time of personal prayer for you. During the day, find a place where you will pray joyfully in a recollected way. I love you and bless you all. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

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
