Message - 25th April 2012

“Dear children! Also today I am calling you to prayer, and may your heart, little children, open towards God as a flower opens towards the warmth of the sun. I am with you and I intercede for all of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Message 2nd February 2012

"Dear children; I am with you for so much time and already for so long I have been pointing you to God’s presence and His infinite love, which I desire for all of you to come to know. And you, my children? You continue to be deaf and blind as you look at the world around you and do not want to see where it is going without my Son. You are renouncing Him - and He is the source of all graces. You listen to me while I am speaking to you, but your hearts are closed and you are not hearing me. You are not praying to the Holy Spirit to illuminate you. My children, pride has come to rule. I am pointing out humility to you. My children, remember that only a humble soul shines with purity and beauty because it has come to know the love of God. Only a humble soul becomes Heaven, because my Son is in it. Thank you. Again I implore you to pray for those whom my Son has chosen - those are your shepherds

Message, 25. January 2012

"Dear children! With joy, also today I call you to open your hearts and to listen to my call. Anew, I desire to draw you closer to my Immaculate Heart, where you will find refuge and peace. Open yourselves to prayer, until it becomes a joy for you. Through prayer, the Most High will give you an abundance of grace and you will become my extended hands in this restless world which longs for peace. Little children, with your lives witness faith and pray that faith may grow day by day in your hearts. I am with you. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Mary TV to broardcast Ivan's Apparition in Michigan

Everyone can follow Medjugorje visionary Ivan Dragicevic’s apparition on January 31 when MaryTV streams live from Michigan. Two days later, visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo’s monthly apparition will not take place in Medjugorje as usual, but in Italy.

Ivan Dragicevic

One million people prayed along, and another one million hits were registred at MaryTV’s website before and after the apparition when the Marian online tv station was streaming Medjugorje visionary Ivan Dragicevic’s apparition on November 17th 2011 from St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna.

For those who missed out, and for those who would like to repeat the experience, MaryTV will live stream Ivan’s apparition on January 31 from Kalamazoo in Michigan, USA. People who follow the apparition online will be blessed as if they had been physically present. Likewise, religious articles brought in front of the computer will be blessed:

“According to Church teaching, those who participated  ‘piously and devoutly’ through our live internet broadcast received all the blessings given in the cathedral – the same as those sitting in the pews!  Section 12 of the Enchirdion Indulgentiarum can be taken analogically: Through broadcasts or digital transmissions blessings will be received by those who participate ‘piously and devoutly’ and this includes also religious items brought with them, in the same way as if they had participated personally” MaryTV informs.

Visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo’s apparition on February 2 will not take place in Medjugorje as usual, but in Ponticelli, Italy. In recent years, Mirjana has made a tradition of having her February apparition on the other side of the Adriatic Sea, guesting Napoli in 2010 and Sacro Monte di Orta last year.

Our Lady's Message to Mirjana 2nd January 2012

Dear children; As with motherly concern I look in your hearts, in them I see pain and suffering; I see a wounded past and an incessant search; I see my children who desire to be happy but do not know how. Open yourselves to the Father. That is the way to happiness, the way by which I desire to lead you. God the Father never leaves His children alone, especially not in pain and despair. When you comprehend and accept this, you will be happy. Your search will end. You will love and you will not be afraid. Your life will be hope and truth which is my Son. Thank you. I implore you, pray for those whom my Son has chosen. Do not judge because you will all be judged.

Christmas Day Message

Dear children! Also today, in my arms I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for him to give you his peace. Pray, little children, and witness so that in every heart, not human but God’s peace may prevail, which no one can destroy. It is that peace in the heart which God gives to those whom he loves. By your baptism you are all, in a special way called and loved, therefore witness and pray that you may be my extended hands to this world which yearns for God and peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.

December 2, 2011 Message

"Dear children; With all my heart and soul full of faith and love in the Heavenly Father, I gave my Son to you and am giving Him to you anew. My Son has brought you, the people of the entire world, to know the only true God and His love. He has led you on the way of truth and made you brothers and sisters. Therefore, my children, do not wander, do not close your heart before that truth, hope and love. Everything around you is passing and everything is falling apart, only the glory of God remains. Therefore, renounce everything that distances you from the Lord. Adore Him alone, because He is the only true God. I am with you and I will remain with you. I am especially praying for the shepherds that they may be worthy representatives of my Son and may lead you with love on the way of truth. Thank you."

Apparizione Ivan a Vicenza, 19 novembre 2011 HD

Marija’s apparition on November 20th 2011 in Varese, Italy.

Ivan live stream: No hope without God

All continents were represented via online live stream when the Cathedral in Vienna was turned into a little Medjugorje for a day. Before his 8 minutes long apparition, visionary Ivan Dragicevic said that the Virgin Mary has come to bring hope to a world without hope because God has been abandoned.

The Virgin Mary has come as a teacher and there are no weekends in her school of conversion, Medjugorje visionary Ivan Dragicevic reiterated before his live streamed apparition of the Virgin Mary in the Cathedral of Vienna, Austria, on November 17.

During his eight minutes long apparition Ivan indeed resembled the pupil in love with his teacher – with frequent gazes of delight on top of a thoroughly polite demeanor with much smiling and nodding, obviosuly engaged in a familiar and friendly conversation. Before that he had told the packed Cathedral and all the viewers worldwide present via MaryTV’s live stream why the Virgin Mary is appearing at this time:

“Our Lady wants to take the tears from our faces. She wants to bring us hope because the world is without hope because we have abandoned God. Therefore our Mother comes to bring us the divine medicine. She wants to heal us from our illnesses with her motherly love and warmth. She is coming to us. She wants to lead us to her Son. Only in her Son is peace” Ivan said.

“There is so much talk about economic recession but obviously it is not just an economic recession but also a spiritual recession. Our Lady comes to us to show us a new way. She wants to get sinful people out of this recession. She is our Mother and she is so concerned of our salvation”.

Emphasizing the Rosary, Ivan described prayer as the cure to the many illnesses faced by individuals, families and whole societies:

Ivan during his apparition in Vienna in September 2010

“She wants to lead us out of darkness into light, into hope. She says society is sick in a spiritual sense. Families and societies are sick. But with the return of prayer in families, spiritual healing can take place. Our Lady says we need healing in societies and families and then there will be so much more love” Ivan said.

“Prayer is needed to know God. Prayer must become a friendship with Jesus – that we may be full of joy and peace for every word we pray”.

Ivan also reitereated the Virgin Mary’s calls to fasting and reading the Bible:

“Put the Bible in a visible place in your homes. Read the Bible. Through reading the Bible, Jesus will be born in your hearts and in your families” the visionary said.

After the evening’s Mass presided over by Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, Ivan said that the Virgin Mary had been “very happy and joyful”. Ivan also told that, in a special way, he had entrusted the diocese of Vienna to the Virgin Mary who had then “prayed in a very special way for this diocese and for the needs of this diocese”. Ivan then passed on this message from the Virgin Mary:

“Dear children, today I call you to prayer. In a special way because Satan wants war, I call you again, my little children, pray, pray that God will give you peace. Be witnesses to everyone in this world, and be carriers of God’s peace. I am with you and I pray in front of God for each person who is here. And you, do not be afraid because the one who prays is not afraid of evil and has no hatred in the heart. Thank you, dear children, for coming back and having followed my call.”

“In truth this evening when we have been together in prayer has been full of the Holy Spirit. May we continue in our families what we have started tonight. I hope the seed we have sown will bear good fruit. Thank you!” Ivan ended his description.

Cardinal Schonborn and Medjugorje - It's a big deal

Are there really any words to describe what Cardinal Schonborn, the Archbishop of Vienna, is undertaking right now in Europe?  

Can we compare Cardinal Schonborn’s actions today to anything else in the modern era of the Catholic Church?

To fully understand Cardinal Schonborn’s incomparable pursuit, first it must be understood that Cardinal Schonborn, the Archbishop of Vienna, is a giant figure in the Catholic Church. Cardinal Schonborn is a former student and close friend of Pope Benedict XVI.  He serves as a member of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.  Earlier this year he was appointed as the first member of the newly created Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization. The young Cardinal is widely recognized as “Palabile” (could one day be Pope) and as Editorial Director of the Catholic Catechism – the official rule book of the Catholic Church – he is greatly respected throughout the world.  

Cardinal Schoborn’s gravitas and impeccable catholic credentials speak for themselves, and so within this context, we find it extraordinary that he is proclaiming, from the roof tops, or more accurately, from inside the great St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna, Austria, that the Blessed Mother is now appearing on earth in an unprecedented fashion to six "Visionaries" and he is urging the Catholic faithful to pay close attention.     The Austrian Archbishop, by his actions today, unequivocally lends support to claims that the Blessed Virgin Mary is revealing Herself to the world and that her presence on earth is for the clear purpose of demonstrating that God truly exists.  Cardinal Schonborrn also insists  that the Blessed Mother is bringing important messages of peace for a world that has little peace. Her messages of peace are accompanied by an urgent and incessant plea for all of humanity to reconcile with God.

In an extraordinary event in Vienna, Austria, Cardinal Schonborn celebrated Mass with a man who claims to see and speak to the Blessed Virgin Mary. His name is Ivan Dragicevic. Ivan is one of six visionaries who say they see the Virgin Mary and these six people are at that center of a mysterious phenomenon known the world over as “Medjugorje”   Ivan, is Croation and comes from the town of Medjugorje located in Bosnia and Herzegovinain and he has experienced daily apparitions with the Blessed Mother since June of 1981.    

Ivan was in Austria at the invitation of Cardinal Schonborn not only to attend Mass but to have his apparition inside St. Stephen's Cathedral with the Cardinal there to witness the experience as well. Ivan's apparition lasted about eight minutes and afterwords Cardinal Schonborn celebrated Mass mentioning Medjugorje in his homily and expressed regret that he could not attend this year's Youth Festival at Medjugorje.

The entire apparition and Mass were shown locally on TV and broadcast throughout the world over the internet. To see the Editorial Director of the Catholic Catechism and close friend of the Pope on live television sitting patiently and reverentially in the grand setting of St. Stephen's Cathedral as the visionary falls into ecstasy and visits with the Blessed Mother who arrives quite literally from the afterlife is something to behold. Watch it here:      

But many are asking why would Cardinal Schonborn provide such a high profile platform to a supernatural phenomenon when the Catholic Church has yet to give its official approval?   Why the invitation? Afterall, the Vatican just recently commissioned a special  task force to determine the authenticity of Medjugorje.

By his actions today, essentially front-running the Vatican Commission on Medjugorje, does Cardinal Schonborn, a key member of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelisation, sense a special urgency? What are his motivations? Does he sense time is running out for the troubled Church in Europe?

Few would argue that the Catholic Church is not under siege and in crisis the world over.  The Catholic Church in Europe has been devastated by the sex abuse horror.  Austria particularly has been hard hit and has seen a troubling exodus of worshipers. Furthermore there is now a growing disobedience movement in Austria led by rebellious priests who are calling for, among a number of contentious issues,  that the Eucharist be offered at the Mass by lay people when a priest is not available. The responsibility for all of these problems in Austria, of course, falls on the shoulders of Cardinal Schonborn, and in the midst of this crisis, rather than schedule more meetings, appoint new commissions, or hire consultants, the Archbishop has instead reached out to Ivan Dragicvic of Medjugorje to come to his Cathedral and pray.

This is not a little deal. This is not an aside. This is not a promise kept. This is not a PR stunt.  The invitation to a visionary to experience  an apparition of the Blessed Mother in a great European Cathedral in the middle of colossal upheaval within the Catholic Church is a big deal. Unprecedented really.  By Cardinal Schonborn's bold and decisive action it appears, he is telling the world, under no uncertain terms, that the Church is in trouble and the best way out of the crisis is not through more meetings and task forces but to pray and to turn to the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary and to seek her intercession in a time of great need.  It is important not to forget the words of Our Lady at Fatima: “In the end my heart will triumph”. It would seem Cardinal Schonborn has taken these words seriously and to his heart. 

It seems clear that Cardinal Schonborn, unlike the bishops in America who continue to look for solutions for what ails the Church in the political arena - urgent meeting with President Obama, issuing position papers and press releases to the New York Times - is taking a different path to repair the damage.  Cardinal Schonborn has moved beyond seeking solutions to problems confronting the Catholic Church through worldly means. Schonborn is not looking to lawyers and courts to protect the faith but rather the great Cardinal understands the solution will come only from the heavens. The Catholic Church will only be restored with our prayers, our humility to God and by the intervention of the supernatural revealed to us by the presence of Our Lady here on earth who is among us today to show us the way back to Her son.

Message to Mirjana 2nd November 2011

"Dear children, the Father has not left you to yourselves. Immeasurable is his love, the love that is bringing me to you, to help you to come to know him, so that, through my Son, all of you can call him ‘Father’ with the fullness of heart; that you can be one people in God’s family.
However, my children, do not forget that you are not in this world only for yourselves, and that I am not calling you here only for your sake

Top exorcist laments apathy to Medjugorje

Ignoring the apparitions in Medjugorje is unforgivable for Christians, says Rome’s leading exorcist who shakes his head at those who wait until the Church has ruled. Speaking of “betrayal” Fr. Gabriele Amorth also lashes out at bishops and priests for being indifferent to the fruits of Medjugorje.
