Just as the Book of Wisdom was written by a pious Jew reflecting upon the Old Testament, so these little thoughts about Our Lady come from reflections upon all of the Marian apparitions with their messages.
The Father does not delay, but He will act only after Our Lady has prepared the world. By standing at the cross, Mary prepared for the Father’s action of raising Jesus from the dead. At the second hour, she prepares the world for the Father’s special sending of Jesus.
Mary is the new John the Baptist. She has accepted this command, assumed her responsibilities and embarked on her mission. No one can stop her. Even the Roman soldiers could not keep her away from the cross.
Mary needs a messenger who will fill the Church with her teachings. To this messenger, Mary will entrust to him both Fatima and Medjugorje messages. He will bring Sister Lucia’s ministry to a completion. (This should have happened in her lifetime.) Medjugorje is different. He will take the beginning Medjugorje gifts and place them where they belong. After his death, the gifts and secrets will continue and be placed in the hands of another.
Our Lady’s words must guide the Church like the cloud and fire guided Israel in the desert. Mary loves the Catholic Church but the Church must not sleep like the apostles in the garden.
Our Lady will announce these events through the Medjugorje visionaries but she must first prepare her children. The world is entering a time of purification and Our Lady’s words must echo within the Church.
At Fatima, Mary prophesied a future war, but few knew her messages. The Medjugorje secrets are different. The words will be told to the whole world and all will know. Their impact depends on understanding the mystery of the Second Hour.
In the gospels, Jesus announced his going to the center of darkness, Jerusalem where the first hour happened. Soon, another moment of complete darkness will threaten earth. In that second hour, new life will flow as the blood of the bishop clothed in white.
When the blood shed that day is lifted up, God’s Justice will be appeased and casting out the darkness will begin.
In the first hour, Our Lady consoled the Beloved Disciple because he stayed close to her. She could not console those who fled. She could have done so much for Peter and the others. They could have stayed but the Evil One made them flee.
In this second hour, as the events come to their culmination, all must decide whether to stay with Mary, like the Beloved Disciple or to flee like the apostles.
The demon brings about Mary’s second hour, just as he caused her first hour. The Father has commanded her, “Go with my Church in this darkness because you know the way from darkness into light”. The Father plans this second hour so Our Lady can defeat Satan. Did not Mary guide the Church from the darkness of Calvary into the light.
Did not the Beloved Disciple find solace in Mary during those three days of darkness? In this second hour the Church must cling to the Woman.
In the first hour, the Father would not accept Jesus’ plea to remove the chalice because the cross would destroy Satan’s kingdom. In this second hour, the Father will restore the cross as a fresh living power.
The Father chose this because no other event will be powerful enough. The Holy Father and all with him will die in Mary’s second hour. This shedding of blood will reenact Calvary and Mary will be the preacher, reminding the world of the Fatima vision. The whole Church must prepare for this second hour.
During this second hour, Mary will prophesy events and, when they happen, people will believe. The Church, led by her chosen messenger, will put Mary’s words on the lampstand. The world’s wisdom will be shattered, falling into disgrace by its abject failure.
False movements, fueled by anger and led by selfish people, will arise like mighty rivers of confusion. Satan will attack Mary’s messenger, trying to silence his words. This will be the great moment.
At this second hour, the whole world will be trembling from natural disasters, armed conflicts and collapsing economic systems. Leaders will arise to claim power and impose harsh solutions. Evil hearts will see this as their hour. All during this time, the world will stand on the brink of war.
The Holy Spirit will pour forth from Mary’s heart and will sweep across nations. What losses will occur? Who will persevere in faith? The Immaculate Heart will triumph but how many will Satan sweep away? All must stand with Mary, like the Beloved Disciple, so she can be their mother.
This second hour comes from the Father’s wisdom. He foresaw Satan’s actions and planned his defeat. The first hour took place on Calvary when the Father used His Son Jesus. the second hour will take place in Jerusalem and the Father will use a special son of Mary again.
In a single moment, all the world will see and will be shocked. These scenes will go forth and will carry the grace of true repentance. Mary will be the preacher, reminding everyone of her Fatima prophecy. The second hour will be another martyrdom, this time witnessed by the whole world.
Peace can only come by a ferocious war between heaven and hell. At the first hour, the Father sacrificed His Son At the second hour, Mary will sacrifice her priest son. She revealed this to the Fatima children. (July 13, 1917).
The vision sees the city in half ruins. Hell will have already poured out some of its fury. Yet, the bishop dressed in white leads a pilgrimage of intercession. The completeness of the annihilation (all are killed) is like the Lamb who was slain.
With Divine Justice being satisfied (even at such a price), the Father can begin to send wave after wave of mercy (as at the first hour). However, unlike that first hour, the whole world will immediately know of these deaths that have changed history.
Those with faith will see the fulfillment of the Fatima prophecy. This second hour will produce a slow but inevitable victory. Before and after this second hour, much will happen and many events will be destructive.
Hell’s fires will link up into an enormous blaze. At that moment, Satan will claim everything. He wants the total destruction of creation so no more souls can enter heaven.
For centuries he has sought this hour, using Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini until he no longer needed them. He has raised up new instruments, Putin, Assad and the Iranian leaders. While everyone slept, he gained control of the mass communications.
When Our Lady appeared and spoke, Satan raised up opponents. Yet, her fires are alive within the Church, little fires which she will use for her own blazing inferno of unimaginable blessings. This will be the hour of the Woman and of her priest son whom she will raise up.
Only when Mary pours forth the fires in her heart will the fires of hell pull back. No human answers exist. This is Satan’s hour. Calvary relived. Another moment of total conflict.
We are in the second hour, similar to the moment of Jesus’ death. What about the original hour? Did not Mary and Jesus gain the victory? Why this second hour, when a pope’s life must be sacrificed so the Holy Spirit can be released.
When the apostles received the Holy Spirit, they went forth as missionaries. Satan had to wait 2000 years. He inflicted some wounds, the division of East from West (1054) and the division within Roman Catholicism (1517). Secular powers rose up which claimed supremacy and led to satanic entrances. However, Satan has made more progress in this century than all the others.
Now, mankind moves closer to that second hour. The only hope lies in the Woman.
A powerful force, like a tidal wave, pushes mankind to its destruction.
Mary wants to snatch the world from these perils. She must begin with the Church, pulling her out of its own darkness and making her young again. She must raise up new religious congregations and seminaries dedicated totally to her. She must light a new fire in those who have served her for so many years.
Mary wants to pour out the Holy Spirit at a level which the Church has never experienced, even at the time of the apostles. This must happen because, a new night is falling, a night which threatens to totally change human history for centuries to come. The gospel cannot be preached to a destroyed creation, or light be given to total darkness.
The destruction will happen if the Spirit’s fullness in Mary’s heart is not poured forth soon. This is difficult. No need to climb mountains or to cross deserts. All must enter that gentle, loving heart where the Father placed the Spirit. Those who believe must come now.
The victory is not at hand because the battles have not yet been fought. Formerly, Satan was cast out. Now, he has returned by violence in the Middle East, poverty in Africa and Latin America and the decadence of the West. However, Satan cannot claim his victories where cultures cling to Mary.
The full mystery must go forth. Peace is far away. The Satanic onslaught is taking place. The Holy Spirit of a new Pentecost must leap from Mary’s heart. If people receive the Holy Spirit by devotion to Mary’s Immaculate Heart, she will raise them up to important places in the Church. The time cannot be wasted.
The path to peace lies only in Mary’s Immaculate Heart where the Holy Spirit has dwelt for 2000 years. For all to know this truth, Mary will raise up her priest son who will have one message, “All the Spirit’s treasures lie in Mary’s heart”. These truths will not be seen fully until the early secrets of Medjugorje take place.
The Holy Spirit has His own place in the universe, in Mary’s heart. At Mary’s conception, the Holy Spirit took up His residence within her. When she accepted the Father’s invitation, He overshadowed her. On Pentecost, when Jesus sent His Spirit upon the apostles, the Holy Spirit was already living within Mary.
Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, not from heaven but from Mary’s heart. The fire within her became like tongues of fire and rested on all. The apostles shared in the gift which Mary received at her conception.
Whenever the Father and Jesus send the Spirit, they always send Him from Mary’s heart. When this mystery is revealed, all will know that they must enter Mary’s heart.
Few have seen the Spirit’s powers which Jesus wants to unleash. Mary is the new John the Baptist, proclaiming Jesus’ new fires, which purify but do not destroy.
From the beginning, the Holy Spirit has lived at the center of Mary’s heart, forming every beauty and every power within her. He made her a garden of God’s delights.
At her Annunciation, the Spirit, from whom flows no divine person, became fruitful within Mary. This is the mystery of the Divine Fire.
Only the streams in Mary’s heart can quench the fires of evil. Unless these waters go forth, unimaginable fires will bring about a new destruction of human life.
Mary’s streams can avoid this future moment and people will know that the Woman clothed with the Sun has protected the world. Mary does not hold back these streams but she will not pour them out unless hearts are ready to receive.
The Church needs an awakening. Everyone must know what Mary has done at Fatima and at all the apparition sites. She has written a symphony and the Church must come alive to the sounds of her music.
The Church must believe that the Father has decided to place all of Jesus’ gifts into Mary’s Immaculate Heart. He will not repent of His decision, which Mary reveals at every apparition site.
The Father told Peter, James and John to listen to Jesus. Now, the Father says, “Listen to Mary”. Can this be? Can a creature contain the divinity?
Jesus descended into Mary’s womb and left behind all His gifts. The Church must go there to find them. Looking elsewhere is useless. The Father will not change His decision.
Mary’s promises are solid treasures and her warnings are sure light. This is the tragedy of Medjugorje, where she has spoken but the Church has delayed. Years have passed with her gifts being embraced. When Mary’s ten secrets are known to all the visionaries, they will begin to happen.
But, Mary has never told people to wait until the secrets are fulfilled. She has asked for the rosary, for fasting on Wednesday and Friday, frequent confession and Communion. This is a clear agenda for the spiritual life. No need to wait.
The earth is ablaze with wars fueled by greed, envy and hate. Earth has invited these fires from hell, and hell always accepts these invitations.
The secular spirit sacrifices its unborn children to Satan and places everything in his hands, refusing to keep God’s commandments.
The crown of victory belongs to those who fight and the harvest to those who reap. Mary has planted her seeds of victory, but without workers, the harvest will be lost.
Mary cannot wait. Some of the harvest has already been lost. She must lift up the one whom she has prepared.
By her revelations, Mary reveals her faithfulness to the Church. However, when her words are put under a bushel basket, they do not give full light.
The Church’s darkness is self-inflicted. Mary has spoken for centuries. Her messages have central themes, like a symphony of varied instruments. She must find someone who will place her light on the lampstand and highlight all her words, which are already engraved on his own heart. Only after her words go forth, can Mary send her greatest gifts.
A time of cleansing the human race is inevitable. But, a cleansing is dangerous and can lead to destruction. While some grow in faith, others lose all hope. Others, without faith, will blame God in whom they have never trusted. Mary speaks so all can be saved.
The Father gives warnings and then sends his chastisements. He who created the world, reserves to Himself the power to chastise His creation.
These chastisements are limited by the Father’s mercy and must not exceed His purpose.
At the same time, the Father allows Mary to distribute favors. She molds everyone, so the Father can withdraw His chastising hand. This delights the Father who need not punish His children because they have already changed.
These chastisements are real. Mary knows them and has revealed them to the children of Medjugorje. This is the closest she has ever come to the world. She will exalt that village and will associate more powerful voices with these messages because the secrets cannot be postponed.
Mary is God’s instrument against Satan’s plans. His defeat should have come in the twentieth century. Pope Leo XIII saw Satan’s hold over the 20th century. Why has his hold continued into this century? His reign should be over. Russia should have been consecrated. The Church should be flourishing in a new Pentecost.
However, the Church can claim no victory. Satan has not been conquered and war, fear, death and darkness are 21st century realities which the Father never intended.
Mary can only move along the margins and conduct a guerrilla warfare until she moves her armies into the center of the Church. Then, the war will begin.
Our Lady must raise up the Church because the world is changing.
Evil leaders (Russia, Syria, Iran, and North Korea) are in the ascendency.
America is enmeshed in wave after wave of evils that crash upon its shores because this nation has rejected God’s law on human life and on marriage.
The Church will be swallowed up in the evils that have entered Europe.
Mary’s answer will be to raise up her priest son who will give life to all her messages.
The darkness of self-love fills every human heart and influences every decision. God must stand outside. When a culture of self-love is formed, God is pushed to the margins of society.
The Father cannot allow this because He sees that future generations will be destroyed. He must act, not for this generation which has made its choice, but for the future generations.
His actions are called chastisements, which He has often postpones. However, when no repentance takes place, evil captures even more of the culture and the Father wonders if He made a mistake. (I speak now in human terms.)
When are chastisements God’s only option? When will He cease to relent? That is the mystery and Mary is at its center.
The Father sent Jesus and now He sends Mary as His messenger. The Father wants her to bring forth a purified humanity, a plan which Mary reveals in her apparitions.
Revelations come forth slowly and the multiplicity of her visitations confirms the truth that the Father wants to bring about a purified humanity as quickly and as easily as possible. To this task, Mary gives herself completely.
The Father has two goals – the good of each person and the worldwide cleansing of the earth.
The Father constantly seeks eternal life for His children. However, cultures saturated with evil, draw people into eternal death. He must intervene, first with blessings and pleadings. Later, if these are rejected, with warnings and chastisements.
What options has the heavenly Father? He cannot allow creation to sink into the pit of hell. He must bring about a new heaven and a new earth. If people listened to Our Lady’s words, he could bring this about with little suffering, like clay waiting to be molded.
Our Lady has given many warnings about chastisements but many do not know these messages or believe the events will ever happen. So, the Church loses the gifts contained in the warnings.
The Father has asked many saints to accept chastisements, so he could hold these punishments back from the world. No human intellect can understand the Father’s tender love, especially his blessings of chastisements. God threatens his children so they repent and he need not act.
Everywhere in the world, Mary’s voice cries out warnings of future chastisements. Although Our Lady speaks, no one listens.
The Father’s original plan was that his children would experience only His blessings and seek Him. However, the children embraced evil and came under its powers. Violence, wars and selfishness make it difficult to see the original blessings and few want to run into the Father’s arms.
Our Lady, has the task to purify and restore the world as it was at the beginning. This is a long, difficult process (like childbirth) which she must explain to her children so they see what she is doing.
The heavenly Father wants everyone to live in heaven forever. Because the Father is totally determined to gain this goal, his actions are often not understood.
Because everything in heaven is sinless, the Father must purge His children on earth, allowing the good to suffer trials. Because sinners cling to evil, the Father does everything to loosen their hold upon what is forbidden.
Our Lady casts light upon the world so all can understand what the Father is doing.
The present harvest of evils was planted centuries ago and nothing can prevent these centuries of evil from coming forth.
Long ago, Our Lady planted good seeds which are alive in the Church because Mary has not removed them.
She has only one field – the Catholic Church. She will wait. She will not betray her promises. Already she is preparing for her special son to whom she will give the keys and no one shall shut what he opens.
Satan’s darkness has three sources. “Hatred of the nations” (planted by injustices), “Sins of the nations” (evils communicated from one nation to another) and “the ambition of the nations” (all vying to gain the upper hand).
What nation leads its people into Mary’s heart or takes pride in sending forth Jesus’ gospel? This is an unwanted prize in the secular world.
Our Lady must re-align the nations. Mary will put on the mountain top, those who take pride in their faith. She will exalt any nation which exalts her.
Wherever Satan cannot place destructive fires, he forms cultures of selfishness, greed, passions and addictions, while prayer and sacrifice are set aside.
He dominates the media and exalts sinful lifestyles. Mary weeps over the young people immersed in a culture purged of faith practice.
To extricate her children, the Woman must send forth new fires. She can no longer delay these little fires. The massive blaze will come later.
Satan wants a holocaust of the nations. All his fires, great or small, will come from hell and lead there. The destruction of nations is incense offered before his throne in hell and he wants to encompass the whole world in those flames. What will happen when his marginal fires take center stage through Iran, a beast set loose? The Middle East will deal with unleashed evil.
Mary must come quickly onto the scene by raising up her special sons and daughters.
When Jesus said, “This is my Body”, he guaranteed his continued presence in the Church. When Mary accepted the Beloved Disciple, she guaranteed her own abiding presence. How much power Mary wields in the Church depends on whether the faithful believe or refuse to believe. The Church is Mary’s Beloved Disciple and holds the key to world peace.
After gaining all it needs, Iran will take its own course, listening to no one, and threatening the world with atomic weapons. No one sees Iran’s heart, with its hostility to Israel and America.
Currently, the world lives at a level of violence which will escalate to frightening degrees. When that happens, who can draw the world away from nuclear conflict? Who can find a different path? Whole sections of the world will be targeted. Our Lady has another path with no nuclear holocaust. She must reveal this path and raise up the one who will lead the Church.
Satan always keeps his eyes on the goal, quite willing to take different paths. His friends are Russia and Iran. Both will grow more powerful in the Middle East. After gaining economic security and new stature among the nations, Iran will turn to its destructive desires. Iran has never been purged and it remains the heart of Satan’s Middle East strategy.
Mary’s birth pangs have already begun, her greatest sorrows since the Cross. She will again accept the Church as her Beloved Disciple and experience the death of this new beloved one. Such will be her sorrows in the years ahead.
Many martyrs will arrive at heaven’s gate. This will prepare for the Holy Father consecrating Russia. After that, the battle will just be beginning. Persecutions will multiply. Even children will die for their faith. Each death will be a heavenly victory and each suffering will hasten world peace. Mary must prepare her children.
Our Lady sees everything. She sees Satan’s strategies and those who cooperate. She sees a Church about to face its greatest crisis. She sees the great battle about to break loose and an unprepared Church which has not known the time of her visitation.
By now, the Fatima gift should fill the Church and Mary’s armies should be in battle array. None of this is true and the opening battles are at hand.
Because Our Lady holds in her heart every gift needed for world peace, everyone must decide to enter Mary’s heart and never revoke that decision. If so, Our Lady will claim the person and guarantee them eternal life.
The road to peace will be long and difficult because all evils must be conquered. To declare peace without this war is a lie.
Victory comes only when the dark powers reveal themselves and are cast out. Darkness will billow forth so Mary’s victory can be complete.
Mary needs unselfish people like the apostles and the holy women whom Jesus used them to bring about the kingdom. Our Lady can no longer tolerate the selfishness of people in high places. She will stir the hearts of millions and remove those who stand in her way. You will see this before your eyes, “He will cast down the mighty and raise up the lowly”.
Because the world does not understand the streams of good and evil, it cooperates with Satan and helps to release his powers. Not turning its eyes to God, the world allows Satan to edge closer to his goal.
When man relies only upon his own power, he succumbs to Satan, who will lead him where no escape is possible. How much time is left before the annihilation of the nations? Is this destruction inevitable? Mary must act everywhere, using worldwide communications as her instruments.
