“Dear children! May this time be a time of prayer for you. Without God you do not have peace. Therefore, little children, pray for peace in your hearts and families, so that Jesus can be born in you and give you His love and blessing. The world is at war because hearts are full of hatred and jealousy. In the eyes, little children, peacelessness is seen because you have not permitted Jesus to be born in your lives. Seek Him, pray, and He will give Himself to you in the Child who is joy and peace. I am with you and I pray for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (November 25, 2019)

Mother Teresa of Calcutta spoke about prayer and the connection between prayer in the family and peace. Here is a transcript of an old video in which she spoke about prayer and its fruit:

“Dear children! May this time be a time of prayer for you. Without God you do not have peace. Therefore, little children, pray for peace in your hearts and families, so that Jesus can be born in you and give you His love and blessing.

The world is at war because hearts are full of hatred and jealousy. In the eyes, little children, peacelessness is seen because you have not permitted Jesus to be born in your lives.

Seek Him, pray, and He will give Himself to you in the Child who is joy and peace. I am with you and I pray for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

We are covered with protection and grace through Our Lady’s blessing and guidance. In gratitude, we look forward to her message on November 25!

June 25, 2006 “Dear children! With great joy in my heart I thank you for all the prayers that, in these days, you offered for my intentions. Know, little children, that you will not regret it, neither you nor your children. God will reward you with great graces and you will merit eternal life. I am near you and thank all those who, through these years, have accepted my messages, have poured them into their life and decided for holiness and peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

This message from 2006 continues to amaze me. This message was given on the 25th Anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions in Medjugorje. Our Lady was looking back over 25 years of her presence in Medjugorje. She was recalling 25 years of apparitions to the visionaries and 25 years of messages to the villagers and the pilgrims.

The Lord had allowed her to come every day for those 25 years, to teach us to pray and to convert. And for those 25 years Our Lady had been building a furnace of prayer in Medjugorje, a powerhouse of prayer that was centered at the parish church, with the Rosary, Holy Mass, Adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, Confession, Veneration of the Holy Cross, and countless novenas and special prayers prayed day in and out in Medjugorje!

She also built a prayer program on the mountains, where parishioners and pilgrims climb, do penance, and pray in silence while meditating on the Mysteries of the Rosary and the Stations of the Cross. Truly the entire village is a place of prayer now, due to Our Lady’s guiding hand, teaching us all how to pray.

And in this message on the 25th Anniversary, she thanked us all for having prayed for her intentions. Having taught us how to pray, Our Lady was now able to reap the fruit of that prayer. Her intentions for the salvation of souls throughout the world were being lifted up by our prayers.

She told us, and tells us, that we will not regret it! In the future we will not be full of regret at spending our time praying for her intentions. On the contrary, we and our children will be jubilant! We will receive great rewards from God for having helped Mary in her task of saving souls in these days. In fact, by cooperating with Our Lady’s plan we will merit eternal life!!!

Eternal life!!! Nothing matters more than attaining eternal life with God in Heaven. Nothing compares to living forever with our God.

I believe we are still called to pray for Our Lady’s intentions, 13 years later. The work is not finished. In fact, if we look at the world, it would seem the job will never end! But it will. We are on the winning side with Mary. She has come to change the world. And we can help her still, by praying for her intentions.

Denis and I find that we now keep the Mary TV channel going all day long in our home. And when our work permits, we pray along with the rosaries, pray along with the English Mass, pray along with the whole evening program including adoration…we just pray along with the parish all day long. While doing this we are praying for Our Lady’s intentions in these days. And it is wonderful!

God bless all of you, our shipmates, for making Mary TV a reality. And may we all accept Our Lady’s messages, and pour them into our lives, deciding for holiness and peace and responding to her call!!!
