MEDJUGORJE MESSAGE JUNE 25, 2010

By -
She's docile but determined.
Aggressive yet angelic.
Resolutely relentless in her quest to guide her children.

Our Lady Queen of Peace is no wallflower, silently praying in the background for the conversion of her children. Every single day she is speaking up...Telling us what we need to do to live Holy lives...Guiding millions to her son so that he can move mountains in their lives.

For the past 29 years the Blessed Mother has been appearing in Medjugorje daily...That's 365 days a year for nearly three decades. To me that signals something serious. In fact, it is the longest running apparition that I know of in the history of humankind. Mary doesn't seem to care how old we are or how many times she has had to repeat herself, or whether or not we think she's old fashioned...She consistantly, persistantly plays out the role of a caring, wisdom inspired mom who refuses to sit back and watch us fall deeper and deeper into sinful oblivion.

The Blessed Mother in Medjugorje has been the kind of role model who engages even the most ardent critic because her heavenly request is all inclusive and never divisive...Always aiming to inspire peace in our hearts, peace in our homes and peace in the whole world.

I believe she has continued to come for so many years because so many of us-even those of us who believe-have continued to live our lives for the Love of self, not the Love of God.

Millions of lives have been touched and turned around, yet few have received the true internal healing necessary to consecrate themselves daily to a Holy, harmonious life.

Jesuit Father Anthony McGinn this weekend spoke about our rebellion against God through the sins of the flesh. Not just sexual sin, but also the sins of pride, arrogance, lasciviousness, blasphemy, greed and gossip.

Our choices have removed us from the state of God's grace which has left us feeling empty, unhappy and anxious. We lack the peace we are desperately craving because we have caved in to the insidious lies of this world.

Abortion, addiction, divorce and a general sense of social depravity is growing at an alarming rate and the sense of acceptance is even more alarming.

Pope John Paul II wrote that we must "respect" our moral conscience because it is the sanctuary where the voice of God is heard. Think about it. Our moral conscience is a sanctuary-for God! That's pretty powerful!

That's one of the reasons the Blessed Mother keeps speaking...It's a lesson for all of us moms and dads. When it comes to guiding our kids, silence is not always golden.

OUR LADY OF JOY, HANCEVILLE ALABAMA

High atop a hill in Hanceville Alabama, broken hearts are being healed and hope is being restored. Our Lady of Joyful Hope is a community of young men who are finding new freedom through a life of authentic truth. Once lost in the darkness of addiction they are now living in the light of Christ who is transforming them from the inside out...And their families, if they are open and willing, are being transformed right alongside them. Recently, I spent three days with this community, listening to the young men, their parents and to the foundress, Mother Elvira, who flew in from Italy for the anointing of the new community house and the celebration that followed. Mother Elvira's life story is on par with Mother Teresa. She is an Italian nun who heard the call from God to snatch souls from Satan by delivering young men and women from the demonic grip of addiction. She gave up everything familiar, walked straight into the wilderness and wound up becoming a living legacy for desperate fa

HRUSHIV UKRAINE: APPARITIONS OF THE BLESSED MOTHER

Twenty four years ago today, April 27, 1987 the Blessed Mother allegedly appeared in Hrushiv Ukraine with a warning and words of consolation. She came on the Feast of the Ascension, exactly one year after the nuclear reactor disaster at Chernobyl saying "Do not forget those who have died...Chernobyl is a reminder and a sign for the whole world." In 1990 while producing a television documentary in Ukraine, I visited Hrushi and interviewed a handful of people who had witnessed the apparition above the church of the Holy Trinity. In all, some five hundred thousand witnesses claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary over a four month period. Mary apparently told them she came to thank the Ukrainian people because they had suffered so much at the hands of a raging lion who had been prowling around seeking whom he could devour. She said their suffering would come to an end and one day Ukraine would become an independent state. She then urged disciplined, Christian fortitude, "

CONFESSIONS OF FATHER JOE BENSON

By -
As we sat in silence, meditating...I nudged my friend Terri, "What do we have to complain about?!" I whispered. There he hung, pain stricken, vulnerable in his nakedness, sharp thorns cutting into his head, pleading eyes fixed on the heavens. What I thought, on God's green earth, do I have to complain about?! That's probably why they do it...place the life like crucifix dead center-above the altar, just above the Blessed Sacrament, right where you can't miss it...just to remind us-things could be worse, but they're destined to get better-if we keep our eyes focused-on the solution. Another friend-likes to remind me-he's not on the cross anymore...So why do we keep him there? Every one's got an opinion, but to tell you the truth, I need to be reminded of the sacrifice...and every painful moment in between. Puts my problems in perspective...helps me see clearly...gives me strength to proceed. We went to first Friday adoration in the upper ninth ward..
