The Medjugorje Vol. 26, No. 6 Published for the Glory of God Visionary Marija Speaks to Americans and Italians Star December 2012/January 2013 Reflection on the Message of Our Lady by Fr. Charles Sellars, omi In November, Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti came to Notre Dame to give her witness to the love of God, the love of Our Lady! She greeted the large number of people who came to pray with her in English! And she spoke the entire night in English! It was a first for Marija! She told us that God, through Our Lady, had chosen her to come and witness to us. Her witness was full of joy, hope and a deep faith. Here are the closing remarks given by Marija: has Our Lady come F orhere?whatToreason say, “Get up! Give this testimony [of your faith]. ‘I am God the Resurrection. I am the God who was crucified and died. But I am resurrected! I am with you, and I died for you. But I give you freedom. In this freedom you have a choice: good or bad. I call you for goodness.’” And Our Lady says, “I call you for new life. It’s your choice. It’s your choice to say yes or no.” Today my testimony for every one of you is that I said “yes” with all my life. And I speak today, also, in English. Never did I study. But what brought me here is this big joy in my heart. And I would like to tell you that I am so happy because God, through Our Lady, chose for me to be here with you and to say God is love, and He chose me to be, for every one of you, hope. Hope and joy to be for all of you. Hope that is God. Every one of you should embrace Our Lady’s messages, like the last message, to pray in a special way for priests, who guide us and lead us in holiness. The Holy Father, Pope Benedict, asks us for a Year of Faith. He would like to help Marija continued on page 2. Messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje November 25, 2012 D ear children! In this time of grace, I call all of you to renew prayer. Open yourselves to Holy Confession so that each of you may accept my call with the whole heart. I am with you and I protect you from the ruin of sin, but you must open yourselves to the way of conversion and holiness, that your heart may burn out of love for God. Give Him time and He will give Himself to you and thus, in the will of God you will discover the love and the joy of living. Thank you for having responded to my call. December 25, 2012 As usual on Christmas Day Our Lady came with the Infant Jesus in her arms, but surprisingly she gave no message for the world to the Medjugorje visionary Marija. Instead it was Little Jesus that began to speak and said: “I am your peace, live my commandments.” Jesus Christ is Our Peace The setting for the birth of Jesus is simple and private. The reference to no room in the inn points to the lack of privacy and not a rejection of Mary and Joseph. There is no indication of hardship, unusual circumstances of social tension. Emphasis is on the manger. Luke’s narrative focuses very briefly on the actual birth of Jesus. The fact that shepherds are the first to receive this good news is in keeping with Luke’s theme of simplicity. Their initial reaction is fear, quickly overcome by the joy of the message itself. The sign of the manger cradling the infant was announced to the shepherds. The true king and peacemaker has been born. And the angels fittingly acclaim, “Glory to God in the Highest.” Luke never mentions the star of Bethlehem and the shepherds never see it. What they do see are angels, and their response is not to break out in Christmas carols, rather to be filled with fear. “Do not be afraid,” is the standard greeting of angels. John Paul II told the crowd gathered at St. Peter’s upon his election, “Do not be afraid.” This is a message that in our times we still need to hear, “Do not be afraid.” Then with a Sign of the Cross, Our Lady and the Infant Jesus blessed all who had gathered for the apparition. Volume 26, No. 6; December 2102/January 2013 The Medjugorje Star coming on December 21, as they say? The end can come any day, but it seems that our life depends on the horoscope of the day. But we must learn from those in the past who trusted God,” Marija said, according to the local newspaper. “I do not know what will happen to us, but God teaches us that without Him there is definitely no future for us. What is a hundred years if there is no eternal life? We are too busy with evil, television and computers, but how much time do we devote to God?” the seer also said. Marija continued from page 1. us in this way for our own faith to grow. Since I was very young, we had Pope John Paul II, who was the pope, Totus Tuus. And Pope Benedict XVI is really God’s providence for us today. We need to be strong. And he is like a general, so tough. We pray for him because he feeds us through his Catechism, which is really beautiful and a deep way of our faith. And how beautiful is it to say that we have so many beautiful people who are going before us to heaven. We have an example in Medjugorje, Fr. Slavko. He came to Medjugorje in the beginning. He took Our Lady’s messages seriously, and he prayed every morning, every day. He loved, and he tried to be joy for Our Lady. He died on Cross Mountain one day with pilgrims making the Way of the Cross. And with joy, John Paul II died in holiness. Everyone chanted “Immediately Holy!” Because he was completely Totus Tuus! And there are so many holy people. Mother Teresa, how strong and big she was for us. But she is one of us! John Paul II is one of us! Fr. Slavko is one of us! But we are weak! And we know that Our Lady told us, “Fr. Slavko is with me in heaven!” Our Lady asks every one of us to be holy. So I would like to tell you all through this, my testimony, to be holy like Our Lady is holy and she is one of us. God bless you! Marija Pavlovic Lunetti, Nov. 15, 2012 University of Notre Dame Marija Speaks to Italians W who trusted God, but it seems like e must learn from those in the past more attention is paid to horoscopes, visionary Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti told 900 people at a prayer meeting on December 1, 2012. We are too busy with technology and evil, and devote too little time to God, Marija added. Medjugorje visionary Marija PavlovicLunetti took on what she saw as misplaced priorities and bad use of time in addressing 900 attendees on Saturday at a prayer meeting in the Grand Theatre in Canazei, Italy. “What do we have to fear? The prophets, hurricanes, or that the end of the world is “I do not know what will happen tomorrow – but the important thing is to have your heart free from anxiety, fear, pain, and live through every test of your lives, remaining steadfast in prayer and love,” Marija added, according to the regional newspaper, l’Adige.it. Marija cited several examples of healing, one about a boy who was in a coma for three months after a car accident, but woke up without any kind of brain damage. “So many times we do not believe in miracles, but they are there. My testimony is intended to be a sign of God’s love for you. We are nobody, I am nobody, but we are here as a sign that Our Lady intercedes with God for us,” she said. “Our Lady loves you and carries the image of all of us in her heart, today and tomorrow, because everyone is important to her,” Marija told them. Medjugorjetoday.tv Annual Message of December 25, 2012 to Jakov Colo “Dear children, give the gift of your life to me and completely surrender to me so that I may help you to comprehend my motherly love and the love of my Son for you. My children, I love you immeasurably and today, in a special way, on the day of the birth of my Son, I desire to receive each of you into my heart and to give a gift of your lives to my Son. My children, Jesus loves you and gives you the grace to live in His mercy, but sin has overtaken many of your hearts and you live in darkness. Therefore, my children, do not wait, say ‘no’ to sin and surrender your hearts to my Son, because only in this way will you be able to live God’s mercy and, with Jesus in your hearts, set out on the way of salvation.” The Medjugorje Star 2 Volume 26, No.6; December 2012/January 2013 The Medjugorje Star and P rison Ministry Prison I n November 2012, Pope Benedict XVI addressed prison administrators saying it is not just necessary to simply punish offenders: “It is necessary that in punishing them, everything possible be done to correct and improve them. They take part in the mission of Christ Himself who came to call not the just, but sinners. Many of them are at risk of losing their sense of life’s meaning and the value of personal dignity.” 25 attend for three hours; Friday night, Legion of Mary Praesidium in America has 30 active members; and, of course, Saturday, Mass or Communion service followed by Catholic education and RCIA classes we conduct. We get 80-90 men there. It’s all good stuff! Currently we have six candidates and catechumens with sponsors working toward an after-Easter initiation. We have choir, band, altar server training, and on and on. God holds us close here. To this end we would like to tell you of a volunteer in Ramsey Prison in Rosharon, Texas, through moving letters and thankyou notes from inmates. “Anyway, once again—from all of us— thank you so much for your support and contribution to our community. God bless you all.” From Bill : “On behalf of all the Catholic community at Ramsey, I want to express our sincere appreciation for your kindness and generosity. Our Monday night rosary group volunteer, Bob Vinklarek, brings The Medjugorje Star regularly and we read it and discuss many of the articles after our prayers. By proxy, you and your whole organization have been an active part of our community for years! From Richard: “Prison volunteer Bob Vinklarek has been coming to the Ramsey Prison for 26 years. He has been a dedicated volunteer to all the men here, not just the Catholics. His compassionate teaching of the Gospels and his devotion to Mary after visiting Medjugorje over 27 years ago has become a shining example of the teachings of Christ. “I will tell you that our Church really works ‘inside’ here too. Through the dedication and devotion of so many outside volunteers who bring the Word of Christ in, we meet regularly and often. We get to witness our Church at its absolute best. Men’s lives are changed in here as many of us, unfortunately, had to find our ‘bottom point’ in life to come to the realization that alone we can’t do it. With Jesus and through our Church, life suddenly became meaningful and purposeful again. And with this, we’ve seen families healed and lives changed. “We are blessed here with a very active and committed community. Weekly, we have Monday night rosary, about 40 attend for two hours; Friday afternoon, Liturgy of the Hours and FTCM class, about “He brings the 20 copies of The Medjugorje Star to us each time you send them to him. He reads the messages from our Mother and then we pray the rosary. His group has grown from five men to 42 at our record this summer. Bob, through the inspiration of Mary and his experience at Medjugorje, has brought her words of prayer and love to all those here in prison. Her words of understanding and of maternal love for all her children has broken open hearts devoid of such love and brought dozens of men back to the Church. “Thank you so much for your generous contribution of The Medjugorje Star to Bob and then to us. We all read it from cover to cover and wish we were paid for our labors in here so that we could donate to cover your own expenses. We would love Volume 26, No. 6; December 2102/January 2013 3 to respond to Our Lady’s call, but we are already taxing our families to cover our medical expenses. Thank you so much for including us in your ministry. “We are fortunate here at Ramsey to have dedicated volunteers without which we would not have any programs. Bob, touched by Our Mother Mary, has brought a light of understanding and realization of the Gospels to the men here at Ramsey Prison. We have the only prison Legion of Mary Praesidium in America, and say the rosary every day for people like yourselves who help prisoners. Thank you again for including us in your ministry.” From Brother Rowdy: “I have saved pictures from The Medjugorje Star along the way, making new additions to my devotional materials that have been a wonderful inspiration and will remain with me for life.” From Roland: “Thank you so much for this blessing of The Medjugorje Star. My family enjoys it also.” From Gary: “God bless you all and your loved ones. The Medjugorje Star has been an up-lifting blessing to us men-in-white for over two decades. Thank you all for your time, love and effort in spreading the message. God bless.” There are many more notes of thanks from these men. Bob Vinklarek certainly is carrying out the Pope’s request by “promoting forms of evangelization and spiritual care capable of drawing out the most noble and profound side of the prisoner, awakening his enthusiasm for life and his desire for beauty, so characteristic of people who discover anew that they bear within them the indelible image of God.” And, of course, the Blessed Mother has a big hand in this evangelization. The Medjugorje Star Medjugorje: The Model Who Gave Up Chanel for a Life of Prayer Healing the Y outh Youth A Lame Girl Healed Silvia Busi fell very ill at age 16, but all the tests were negative. Silvia found herself in a wheelchair unable to move her legs. During an apparition where Our Lady was appearing to the visionary Ivan, not only was Silvia healed, but she received the gift of faith. She continued to have some seizures and to take medication, but eventually this stopped and she was completely healed. She now prays every day to receive the love of God and the Madonna more into her heart. The Teenage Atheist! When Emma Fradd was in high school, she got involved in the party scene. She refused to attend Mass and rejected anything to do with the Church. At the age of 20, she didn’t believe in God at all. She lived in Australia, but her brother and his wife lived in Ireland. They invited her to stay with them for three months. When she got there, a priest in Ireland paid for her to go to Medjugorje with the group that her brother was going with. She thought, “I’ll go there and pray and show them that God doesn’t exist.” She prayed the prayers with everyone but emotionlessly. Soon after, her brother went to Canada as part of his work with NET missionaries. It was his job to evangelize. Emma went with him. When she saw the happiness that all the young people had, she wanted some of it too. She was tired of pretending to be happy or basing her happiness on false ideals. She asked God to give her the same feeling as these young people. Emma then decided for the first time in five years to go to Confession. She returned to daily Mass and the Eucharist. When she returned home, she shared her new found happiness and faith with her friends, but they did not know her. They did not like the new Emma. They The Medjugorje Star stopped talking to her, and this hurt a lot. It would have been easier to walk away from her faith, but she didn’t. She returned to Canada joining with NET ministries. She now spends her time not partying but evangelizing. The Countess Who Gave Up All Her Riches Countess Milona Von Hapsburg visited Medjugorje with her relatives for three days when she was in her 20’s. This trip left a profound impression on her. It prompted her to give up her high-flying and pampered lifestyle in Geneva to become a volunteer in Medjugorje performing humble tasks like interpreting for Fr. Slavko and the six visionaries. Milona had a personal encounter with Our Lady on the hill. She felt a presence coming around her and covering her like a mantle. She felt as if two eyes were looking deeply into her very soul. For the first time she saw her entire life and what it amounted to. There was no judgment at all, just total truth. After this she felt she had to rid herself of all that separated her from God. Anna Goledzinowaska was from Poland but was living in Italy. To the outside world and to her family, she had it all. She had looks, a high-paying job and a luxurious apartment. Her friend was going to Medjugorje and paid for Anna to go with her. When Anna arrived in Medjugorje, she realized that she was not happy with her life. Before this, Anna had an allergy to priests and anything to do with the Church; yet, here she was attending daily Mass. She was so touched with Medjugorje that she could no longer find peace with her life back home. She gave up her job, which meant she lost out on a lot of money, and she stayed in Medjugorje. She is now happy that people like her for herself, not for her money. She gave up her Chanel shoes because they did not “fit” anymore. Her friends and family cannot understand her decision, but she is happier than ever. Amanda Curran, Medjugorje Herald, July 2012 The Korean Priest Peter Kim Dae Woo is a parish priest in Korea. He was ordained in 2009 despite his great desire to become a singer. He cursed a lot, and music was his whole world. He came to Medjugorje, and he began to pray the rosary and to attend Mass every day. He lived the five messages of Our Lady. He would cry during Adoration, especially at the sound of the violin. When he returned to Korea, he knew music couldn’t be his whole life. That is when he knew that he was being called to become a priest. If he hadn’t come to Medjugorje, his calling would have never been realized, let alone fulfilled. 4 In honor of the Infant Jesus speaking on Christmas Day, we are offering three items to foster devotion to Him: The Infant of Prague Chaplet, and the Infant Jesus of Prague prayer book, containing a treasure trove of prayers, and a beautiful 4-inch resin statue of the Infant of Prague.
