This is not an approved apparition. People obsessed with these apparitions need to be very careful. I say: why obsesse with something unapproved when we have Fatima, Lourdes, Akita, Guadalupe, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, Our Lady of La Salette, Our Lady of Knock,etc
@@me-ds2il all the research shows that it is an image from Heaven. During a ProLife Mass there were pictures taken of the Virgin’s womb having a heavenly light
I do the First Saturdays continuously... and frequent mass, confession, eucharist, fasting, rosary, scripture reading is encouraged in Medjugorje - just as in Fatima.
Medjugorje is a obvious caricature of Fatima. Satan will do anything to get people away from the true Church. Christ and The Church are one. Obedience Obedience Obedience to the Bishop always stressed by The Blessed Mother. Condemned by all the Bishops and one was kidnapped and beaten. The seers are liars.
@@KenPaulsenArchitect Many Catholics do not practice this devotion. We are not living in an era of peace and Russia has spread its errors. The First five Saturdays was the specific formula given to Sr Lucia by Our Lady with the Child Jesus in 1925 for for the Triumph of Her Immaculate Heart. It isn’t mentioned in the 40,000-50,000 messages of Medjugorie.
@@PBXVIILY The visionaries ARE obedient. Give an example of disobedience. The bishop told them they could not have apparitions in the church. And certainly, his authority has jurisdiction there. They complied and had apparitions elsewhere. So some people said that was disobedient. But it's not. Bear in mind, the limits of jurisdiction. If your bishop tells you to wear yellow pants, or that the sun revolves around the earth, that is outside of his jurisdiction. In Fatima, the local priest told Lucia, and others, not to go to the Cova. That was beyond his jurisdiction. Be careful of judging people.
@@kzs5594 I'll bet you the five first Saturdays are not mentioned in subsequent approved apparitions such as Akita or Kebeho either (nor had they been mentioned previously such as at Lourdes). Praying, fasting, (on Wednesdays and Fridays) the Eucharist, Confession and reading scripture daily are the requests of Our Lady in Medjugorje.
For everyone saying the apparition couldn't be fake because Mary has apparently requested heavenly things here, all I gotta say is this: *don't assume the devil won't take short-term losses to make long-term gains.* The former greatest of all angels still has the capacity for deception as a _chess grandmaster_ , not some hasty toddler.
Precisely, toooo many Christians undermine the Devils cunning ways of hurting the faithful. This apparition for instance and all the people who claim fruition of conversion is enough, are ready to attack those who disprove of it like a cult. The testimonials of conversion to combat those who see it for what it is proves what you said to be correct. The conversions were meant to happen to allow Catholics to fight against each other. Sounds to me, not enough priest teach their flock how cunning the Devil is, given how many people flock to the fake apparition of Medjugorje
So the only way you will accept it is if the church approves it? Hard to approve if it's been happening for over 20 years. Church is careful so therefore from all the apparitions which have been approved were approved after they stopped. So many stories of miracles and healings that have happened you seem the think that the devil is doing the work? Logical reasoning would say otherwise.
You have to be careful when you mention healings, because they can be counterfeit ones. My heart WANTS to believe what is happening is true, but I prefer to love my Mother by trying to live the message of Fatima, wearing my brown scapular, praying the rosary and having the miraculous medal around my neck, until the Church approves these apparitions.. or not.
I listened (I did not technically read) to Fr Amorth's (Vatican's Exorcist) account saying that same thing about the feet. I believe the feet ARE the key. We can be deceived in so many ways. Pray on it. The truth shall set you free. The church is going through her passion. Stay with Our Lady at the foot of the cross. St Joseph, Terror of demons, pray for us.
@@natty7217 NO Fr. Amorth never approved of Medjugorje and you cultists keep saying he did because you need “big name” approval. It is an absolute LIE that he approved it just as the Padre Pio lie and the JP2 lie and the Benedict lie. None of them approved it and if they had it would’ve been huge news but it’s a lie. Cultists lie to protect the dopamine hits they are addicted to. Get over your addiction. Try something that won’t cause your damnation.
@@zthroescha It’s a LIE that Gabriel Amorth “approved” of Medj. He denied it many times in his life, right up to the end but people will assume that nobody would lie about something like that, so they believe the lie and the lie spreads as if it’s true. Do not believe this lie about ANY prominent Catholic believing in Medjugorje because it isn’t true. The devil loves this lie because it destroys reputations.
I don't know if this is related to the statue of Medjigore. But I remember a story of Saint Padre pio saying that he will not believe in any apparition where he cannot see our Heavenly Mother crushing the head of Satan.
Padre pio doesn't know everything either. No human know how the heavenly mother will show herself. She didn't show herself crushing the head of Satan either in Fatima
Mary wasn't crushing the serpent's head at Lourdes or Fatima. Also, her feet were hidden by a cloud when she appeared in Beauraing. I don't think Medjugorje is a true apparition but these arguments against it are weak.
I had long wondered why the feet of the Mother of God were showing, when Saint Bernadette saw her at Lourdes. This video makes clear how important Mary’s feet are in crushing the evil one. Thank you so much for explaining that, and may God bless you 🙏🏼
@Julie At Lourdes, Mary also had roses on her feet. I believe that they were gold. The accounts of her interaction with Bernadette, as related by the Saint, reveal the loving and pure nature of the Holy Virgin. They make for beautiful reading.
@Julie There are so many good books about Saint Bernadette and Our Lady of Lourdes. You should be able to find several that will keep you occupied 🙂🙏🏼 Merry Christmas ✝️🎄
@@A.C- Why do you say that? The Holy Scriptures tell us that the Mother of God will crush the serpent beneath her foot, and the reality that her feet were clearly visible during the Apparitions at Lourdes and at La Salette underscore their validity. The children who saw Mary had little conception of her role in Biblical prophesy.
Usually, to justify the false apparition of Medjugorje's incessant chatter box for decades, the cultic followers bring another apparition that was extended BUT in that apparition that they drag as an excuse the Virgin Mary just appeared without saying anything. Do not be deceived.
Our Lady's Requests are, 1. Daily Mass 2. Continue confession 3. Eucharist adoration 4. Daily Rosary 5. Fast on Wednesday & Friday Will these requests come from the enemy of Our LORD?? 🤔🤔
The hallmark of Satan is to speak the truth with falsehoods sprinkled in. He is far more intelligent than you or I and will not so easily give himself away. This is where discernment has its place
The question is, are the sacraments valid? I have a feeling that these sacraments are forced, to make it look like there are “fruits of conversions.” If invalid, there is no grace. I can defend Mary and the validity of apparitions, if they don’t contradict Christ’s public revelations. I don’t sin this way. What about the Immaculate Heart, has it ever been mentioned? How could souls go mostly Purgatory (Medjugorje) as opposed to Hell (at Fatima), are we better than people then? I don’t think so, considering the rampant abortions, contraceptions and promiscuity today.
Having come back to the practice of my faith through my experiences at Medjugorje, I thank Our Lord and his blessed mother for all the graces that have been poured down on hundreds of thousands of pilgrims that have visited this blessed site. Judy Paris, you are absolutely right in your comment that these divine graces can only come through divine intercession. What is Satanic and so disconcerting is this terrible video that is a blasphemy to the blessings given to all of us through our blessed Mother. I urge all readers and viewers to ignore its negative message.
If Mary is hiding her feet and if the resurrected Christ has not his 5 glorious wounds, then we know this to be a diabolical apparition. Well said Fr. SC. Thank you for this timely sermon.
Father claims, “Covered feet” makes for a devil not Our Lady? What a claim and how funny for a priest that apparently is not familiar with of an image created by God and it resides in Mexico City, Mexico. Correction, my good father, please spend a few moments and ponder on the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. You will notice very clearly, Her feet are covered, Her feet are not exposed.
@@ourladyofmedjugorje-queeno2904 Blessed be Our Lord and His Immaculate Mother! Concerning Our Lady of Guadeloupe, her right foot can be seen standing over the darkened Crescent Moon. Sure it is in a shoe, but the shoe is in the shape of her foot, not a hoof. A hoof cannot fit in a shoe. May we always love Our Immaculate Mother more and more. Ave Maria!
This is a childish statement. Satan doesn't listen to men. Only God by force. Men don't have control over him. I have heard testimonies from exorcist and satanists.
She made a request of time and place. The children of Fatima had appointment times. If you read Lucia’s account, she was drawn to Cova at certain times
When the statue w/o the serpent was showing, I saw to the right our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. Thank you Lord for opening my eyes. I pray more people discerns and learns more. Ave María purísima, ruega por nosotros que recurrimos a vos.
Look at the image of the Tilma of Guadalupe. Her feet are not visible on that either. Yes her feet will crush the head of the serpent and her work at Medjugorje is working toward that end. But do not take not seeing them as it being a deception. This video is ill prepared at best, the work of Satan trying to confuse and turn away people at worst
This is hard one to know I know of people who have gone to medjugorje completely turned their life around, others I have heard no change, a priest once told my mother “ sitting with the blessed sacrament is better than going to any shrine” yes going to these places may help with faith but remember, I’ve never heard of our lady of Medjugorje call for repentance unlike Fatima or Lourdes or a good success
@@thomasturtle7207 that was the one where I was like ya no way, I tried to keep an open mind but once the "seer" claimed that she saw Mary dropping Jesus I was like what a liar, or at least I hope she's a liar it's very possible that she's seeing a demon pretending to be Mary playing on the pride and greed of the seer's in order to fool the world.
@@MillionthUsername actually, she did say that. It is extremely well documented in Medjugorje literature. I should know, I lived there for a short time - on the eve of the war, sadly- and (to my everlasting regret) I actively promoted it for most of the 90s; led a couple of pilgrimages. I was also present during an "apparition" . It was after the children stopped seeing Gospa together with Maria, who agreed to her friend's (my retreat centre's owner's), request that she had her apparition there that evening, for a change. I was three feet away from Maria during her supposed ecstasy. She looked as fed up as anyone I've ever seen. It was the beginning of the end of my time as a Medj follower. I live in the UK by the way, so just a three hour flight away hence the easy frequency of visits. Also true, the claim that Our Lady once appeared to Miriana "disguised" as the devil..."excuse me for this" the Gospa is supposed to have said " but you must know that the Devil exists." Hardly the terrifying visit to hell the poor children at Fatima had. Also true, the tale of the local driver who said he was stopped and then told by Jesus to throw a bloody handkerchief into the river, "otherwise" said the redoubtable Gospa "it would have meant the end of the world." (Incidentally this is in part based on a pre-existing Croatian legend). Now, like Vicka's explanation about Mary dropping the Baby Jesus, all of this is very much in the public domain and free to be read by any proponent of Medjugorje. But, in my experience at least, no "Medj-Head" ever does; or, if they do, they mirror the spirit of disobedience coming from the local priests and dismiss it. Nor, do those who see the sun spin, relate how often this happens during Mass. Far from it being a "sign" pointing to the majesty of the Eucharistic, it's instead, a baleful distraction to those outside the church, supposedly attending Mass (if you've been there, you'll remember, church is often overflowing), who suddenly have their attention drawn away from the Sacrament, towards sensations in the sky. Medj supporters can protest all they like, but, it's quite possible I know more about Medjugorje than almost anyone you know. It is a diabolic fake. A demonic distraction to keep the people away from Our Lady's actual requests at Fatima (or Akita, to name just one authentic Marian apparition, with simple substantial messages for the world). And it's also there to keep the flagging faithful in touch with their "feelings". Popular among those looking to live their best life. And whilst I do accept there have been conversions, I cannot draw myself away from the mystery, that given how immediate and life-changing it's supposed to be, why aren't there more. Because, in reality, while on pilgrimage it's great, but far from being gentle, Gospa's messages are in fact very demanding. Let's face it, if all the millions who visited there actually "lived the messages"; Gospa's five-point plan, the world wouldn't be in this mess. People do pray there, the experience can be overwhelmingly positive and faith affirming. How could it not be? That's the only fruit of any worth, and it comes from basking in the faith of thousands of pilgrims at prayer. It is a fruit despite the visionaries, not because of them. But at home, mostly, people don't live the messages and they get their knickers in a good old twist about it too...then, just stop bothering. It happened to me and it happened to everyone I ever met there or through it. And I met plenty. That's the most pernicious thing about it, it does go against Catholic teaching (all religions are equal being just one), in answer to some of the protestations below. But worst of all, it twists the spiritual requirements of the faithful to the point where the apparition becomes more important than the Gospel or even the mass. Live the messages! Have you seen Our Lady's monthly message? Why can't priests read Our Lady's messages? Pilgrims often ask. Shouldn't "The Poem of the Man God" (Gospa approved, btw), be read in church instead of the Gospel? I was once asked. Medjugorje turns Catholic teaching into mere lingo. And it's followers lap it up...to say nothing of it's attendant "visionaries" who spring up everywhere in it's wake, on melodramatic RUclips channels and in the pages self-published books of messages- available at the back of church after today's talk folks! I was once at a Medjugorje evening here, where the "monthly message" was read out alongside another message made that from a so called apparition I Scottsdale. They only thing they had in coming was they said, absolutely nothing at all. Messages like gossip at the back of church. And still now, no one can tell me why "Queen of Peace" failed to warn the "visionaries" of the forthcoming, horrific Balkan civil war and genocide, the way Our Lady did in Kibeho, where she actually appeared. Or even as Our Lady warned about the Second World War at Fatima. But, we know the answer to this mystery, she isn't there. Meanwhile, the world at large has gone from bad to worse. So much for the fruits of Medjugorje and it's message of twice weekly fasting, confession and three hours prayer daily "but it's only a sixth of your day" the apparition said! It's time Medjugorje supporters wised up. But no, off they go each year to top up the experience. And really, to what ends? Signs and wonders for a week, then spiritual drudgery back in the real world, as pilgrims bemoan how hard it is when you're back in your drifting parish, no longer experiencing the Medj "high"...never mind, there's always next year. Well, there have been 40 of those years now and where are we?
I was drawn back to Church via Medugorje, had experiences not of this world, saw the Eucharist in front of the Sun after making my first Confession since I was a boy whilst the apparition took place in the Church in Medugorje. I proceeded to see the Eucharist in front of the Sun for weeks back home. I stopped looking because the real Eucharist is so much greater. I have transferred my devotion to Our Lady of Fatima and the unfulfilled Consecration of Russia which St Joseph will bring about. I cannot deny what this good priest says as it seems correct in reason and faith. I do the work of the Lord in education. I cannot explain what I experienced nor deny it. I have travelled towards devotion to the Three Sacred Hearts - deception is easy to fall into so submit to a good Catholic priest.
Agreed, and I was led back to the sacraments of the church by a devotee of Medjugorje during a pilgrimage my sister invited me on to the national Shrine of the Immaculate Conception with what is now my parish. If something will be known by its fruits it will take time for the fruits to be known. It seems things on earth will always be arguable. Case in point Padre Pio, or the diary of Divine Mercy and now Medjugorje all of which always submitted to the authority of the church in humility. Only time will tell but I for one am grateful to the one whose faith made her reach out to me and bring my own faith to life. Apparently no one at my parish or neighborhood ever felt led to do that.
I too had a conversion experience in Medjugore. I witnessed extraordinary phenomena but it was the opening of my heart to the truth of the Church that convinced me. Also Sr Briege confirms she has been given confirmation of our Bl Mother's appearance there.
I was fascinated in my 30s and had ordered the books. But when I read all religions are the same I was stunned. Thought about it for a while and threw all the items I had received from Medjugorje. I am from India and I know about many religions and I couldn't believe this vision anymore.
"The Commonitory" written by St. Vincent of Lerins in the 5th century, was written as a way to identify heresy/heretics, but also, why God allows even prominent men (Origen etc.) to err. God allows error/heresy & false apparitions to test the faithful. Gal. 5.25, 5:16 , "If any man preach a new doctrine let him be accursed" anathema. Any man, even an angel, of course includes anti-popes.
The fact that this comment thread is absolutely divided is a HUGE SIGN that Medjugorje is false. The devil wants Catholics in conflict because then we won’t evangelize or even pray within our family. These false apparitions cause nothing but conflicts, and continue to do so going on 40+ years.
Medjugorje visionaries: living a life of materialism and worldly success. (Armani, million Dollar homes). Fatima visionaries: 2 died shortly after. Becoming prayerful, suffering servants of our lady, while Lucia became a religious spreading much devotion to our lady. This comparison alone should shed light on the validity of the medjugorje “apparitions”
There is a documented time when Satan appeared dressed as the Virgin to the “seers” and immediately disappeared, then “she” reappeared and the first thing that was said was “Sorry about that!” As if the demon forgot to put on makeup first. I don’t have the link for it anymore but you can look it up.
@@holyroller. it was on a video channel called The Marian Catholic but unfortunately the channel doesn’t exist anymore. I will try to find another link for you
Thank You so much for these clarifications from someone I can trust. It was by the grace of God, that when I first starting using You Tube that I happened upon The Discovery of St. Ann's Relics, a program produced by you, I didn't even know who St. Ann was until you taught me and I loved it and have been with and relied on your programs every since. Tahnk You and May God Bless You and keep you!
If the Church declares Medjugorje a false apparition then we must also consent. I've been on pilgrimage four times to Medjugorje starting in 1997. I would be terribly saddened to find out this has all been one immense diabolical deception as would millions of other people who have been there. However it would not shake my faith and belief in the one true and holy Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ. In the meantime there is no harm in following the message of Medjugorje: a deeper personal conversion to Christ through the grace of receiving the Sacraments, meditating on the Sacred Scriptures and devoting yourself to prayer and fasting.
Well it is and if this apparitions fool you then I fear for you when the Antichrist appears very very soon, you better get back to the traditional Catholic Latin mass stay away from Freemason Francis and his man made Catholic Church find your true faith again nothing tied to Vatican 2.
Father Donald Calloway stated that Our Lady of Medjugorje inspired his conversion and he propagates the Rosary. Sounds like Satan is doing a terrible job.
Would a diabolic place such as medjugorije Convert many people that are not in faith such as Fr.Donalld colloway who is one of the strongedt preachers of Holy Mary and Rosary?
God uses all sorts of things. Converting someone doesn't make it true. Protestantism has converted some to the true religion and I doubt you'll say protestantism is true. What will happen is when this is condemned is many many many will reject the Church bc they 'know' this is true
@@SensusFidelium So you are a prophet now? We will have to see whether your prophecy comes true or not, as that is the test of a prophet who foretells future events. If it teaches indifferentism, which your no-name priest claims, why isn't it already condemned for that? Why can't I find the supposed teaching on indifferentism? Can you quote the visionaries' teaching on indifferentism? There must be forty years' worth of such teaching if in fact they are teaching it. Can you or the supposed priest engage in a rational dialogue about what you both claim to be indifferentism in the messages? And lastly, if you freely admit that there is massive good fruit, why are you claiming that it's evil? The person you are responding to is not claiming, nor am I aware that anyone else is, that the mere existence of any conversion is proof of authenticity, but they are asking whether a "diabolic place" such as you claim Medjugorje is, would produce such fruit. So you didn't answer the question properly, did you? Do you believe that a diabolic apparition would lead so many millions to conversion to Jesus Christ? If so, what is your argument for that. Provide examples of known diabolic places of false apparitions and false prophecies which have led to such a massive positive impact for conversion to Christ. I think this is a case of you can't have your cake and eat it too. If your claim is that it is of the devil, then show us the demonic fruit. When you make the claim that the devil is converting millions to Christ on account of a plan to pull the rug out from everyone decades into the future - according to your prophecy - then your argument seems not only weak but bogus. How is the devil even capable of converting millions to Christ? And then why should any of those converted to Christ ever leave Him for some future secret heresy that the devil plans to unveil in Medjugorje in the future? If this is the devil at work, he seems to be self-defeating. It seems to me that actual demons are interested in taking people away from Christ, not drawing people to Him.
@@MillionthUsername what Steve predicted doesn't take a prophet...it's happened with a number of false apparitions over the years. There almost certainly will be those who leave the church if it rules Medugorje as false, if precedence shows anything Clearly some people know better than Holy Mother Church or her ministers
@@MillionthUsername This video is one man's opinion. Unfortunately it seems most people on this thread are "looking" for a priest to disagree with Medjugorje. If he's right, which he isn't then oh happy deception that brings millions to pray the rosary, return to monthly confession, Eucharistic adoration, reverencing the Holy Mass again..the fruit goes on and on. My comment correcting him about our Lady's message about all religions being equal (which she did not say). He deleted. So he's afraid of debate and cannot prove his statement. I'm sure this will get deleted as well.
I have been to Medjugorje and present during an apparition. I would never say ever that that apparition, or what is going on there by grace “protects the head of the serpent.” nothing that is of God that promotes peace fasting prayer, and the holy mass protects the head of the serpent. I’m offended as to how this is titled without knowing the fruits. Whatever is going on here by gods grace allowed me and my family as young teenagers to approach God in prayer and fasting on Wednesday & Friday and penance. I would not have grown in grace without Medjugorje. There is commercialism in France too around Lourdes any of the shrines there. What you are judging is peoples reaction to God and what they decide to do but they are also promoting the Faith when they sell their wares/ goods. because you haven’t been there, you don’t realize how hungry people are when they get there for God for any reminder of God to hold onto what they’re experiencing there at Mass at Adoration when the body trembles at the Presence of God. I know I was not going there to see our lady, but going there to be with her which was the most important and to re-configure my life so the tenants in this talk, of their conclusions are immature. Vicka and others desired to be religious but in order to be a religious I know this. Canonically, I think the apparitions had to cease for her to be considered.
Well said! The religious leaders in Jesus’ time said that He did His signs through Satan. And what was Jesus’ response? “A house divided will not stand.” It is total ridiculous to say that it is a demonic force that gives the message of fasting/prayer (rosary)/Mass/The Eucharist.
@@brianwalsh7352 Sorry but Satan is doing his best with sowing misinformation, causing division between well meaning people. As Fr. Chris Alar, of the Marians of the Immaculate Conception, the promoters of Divine Mercy, said in his response today on their "Divine Mercy" RUclips Channel, the nitpickers of little things, miss the "fruits" that are huge and more important. At every apparition site, you can find erroneous information by well meaning people. But the Church commission in 2010, by Pope Benedict, has approved the possible validity of the early apparitions at Medjugorie. The site has been taken away from the local Bishops and has been under the jurisdiction of the Holy See. It is not approved OR disproved as the apparitions are ongoing. The Church in 2019 approved pilgrimages and has setup for pastoral care, because of the crowds that come every year. And as I have said, Satan would NOT promote "The Mass/Receiving Communion/Praying the Rosary/Fasting". I think Jesus would agree with that!
2 Timothy 4:3. “For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires.” This is a prophecy for our times. The evil one is VERY cunning. He will deceive. And, I have heard visitors their said they “felt” close to God there. Faith is not a feeling. Would they not “feel “ closer to God at Mass? People who believe in this WANT to believe! Please use discernment.
I have been to Medjugorje 7 times or so. It is the confessional of the world like no other, lukewarm faith is renewed, devotion to the Rosary and the Blessed Sacrament is clearly evident, miracles, weeping statues, and healings happen, which I have personally seen. Even St John Paul II said if he wasn’t the Pope he would be in Medjugorje. I have been present at apparitions, perceived the Holiness present, even bird song is hushed at that moment. It’s a great Mystery why God has hidden these apparitions from some people of good faith, whilst others truly believe in them. The Pope has now recognised Medjugorje as a shrine and official pilgrimages are now allowed. It’s better not to condemn, even Our Lord said judge not that you be not judged, and to the pagan soldier even in Israel He had not found such faith. So let Us keep open hearts to the fruits of Medjugorje so clearly evident. Holy Mother of God, Save Us. Amen! Lord Faithful King! 🙏🏻❤️🔥🕊
I totally agree!!!! And honestly I don't think our lady said all religions are equal... In a message she said that all people are equal before God in heaven... That is it was important to keep the commandments of God, to those who have been given little little would be required or less, but to those who had been given more, much more would be required... Got alone knows and pronounces judgment ☦️✝️📿🙏🥀 May the most high God be praised forever and ever... In the name of the holy Trinity... Father Son and Holy Spirit
@@Crusader33ad Dear Phillip, Brother in Christ, Our Lady always keeps God’s Commandments. Have you been to Medjugorje? If not I would recommend you to go. Our Lady bears testimony to Herself there and renews Our Faith in Christ. When I mention about the pagan soldier in the Gospel’s being commended by Our Lord that he had not found such Faith in Israel, it indicates that He alone is able to judge the Gift of Faith in Our Hearts as He alone is the God Giver of such supernatural Gifts. Our Lady and Lord Love Us all equally,, however, of course we know Our Lord and Lady recognise the Catholic Church to be the supreme Magisterial Custodian of Truth, as it’s Truly Chris’s Body and Blood we receive, Christ Himself, The Way, Truth and Life, in Us. No-one knows this better than Our Lady in Medjugorje. Our only fear should be Our pride of unbelief, Our only Hope is Christ Himself and His Life in Us. Every Blessing Mark
Annamarie Grec - thank you for your kind post. However, med is a sore point for my family as a sister of mine studied it and because of the scandals there began to question the Catholic faith and eventually became a Protestant and now an anti Catholic. I saw the video of the seer who feigned ecstasy and flinched when a journalist waved his hand before her eyes, then made up a story that Our Lady was fumbling the baby Jesus as her reason for flinching. That’s just not believable The other scandal is that the seers have made millions from this I know God has made good come from this but I trust the church and She does not recognize this as legit. Many holy priests and of course jp2 himself give no credence to the >50,000 visions. That’s my take. God bless and pax Christi
You do not “perceive holiness”. Are you really serious with that? A good Catholic seriously discerns an apparition through reading its messages and comparing them to the teaching of the Church. It’s amazing to me how this priest lays out the case for why Medjuhorje is false and the response is: but,but,but…I felt holiness there and I know friends who felt warm and fuzzy. I have friends who felt warm and fuzzy after going to hooters or smoking pot. Is that proof of some supernatural holiness? It is embarrassing that supposedly devout Catholics are willing to overlook multiple heresies and literal video proof that one of the supposed visionaries faked her ecstasy. They even accept her blasphemous explanation which completely insults Mary! And you call yourselves Marian devotees? You want warm and fuzzies? Go drink a couple glasses of wine.
"All religions are equal...". If this is the message of this Gospa, I have doubts about this apparition now... I'll stick to approved apparitions...🙏🙏🙏
The scripture has prophesied this: {Matthew 24:24} For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect. Satan is willing to give a little to gain a lot. May the Holy Ghost grant us the grace of discernment and deliver us from the deception of satan. 🙏🏾
This priest has misquoted quoted the messages. Please do your own research. "In the world, all religions are not the same because all people have not complied with the commandments of God." (10/01/81). Consider it might in fact be Our Lady. All apparitions have a period where they are unappoved before a Church judgement. Can you imagine being one of the faithful that condemned Fatima before it received its approval?
Great thanks to this brave priest in speaking the truth in detail about the Medj disturbance. Whenever anyone speaks out against Medj, the vitriol from its followers and promoters overwhelms. Thank you to Sensum Fidelium!! May all hearts be open to the truth, love truth, and recognize truth when they hear it. Those that hate truth won’t even listen to it or seek it out. We must love and obey the authority of the church and ignore our personal private interpretation of anything today.
It's turned into the cult of Medjugorje now. The people who ardently believe that the Virgin Mary is appearing there refuse to look at all of the evidence that proves it's a hoax.
The Vatican has approved the first seven apparitions. Did you know that? Did you know that the Vatican allows priests to take pilgrims to Medjugorje? Did you know that there has not been and will not be an official ruling for years and years? So Yes! Let's obey the authority of the Church. Not one priests "opinion".
@@tracyann484 did you know that Vicka likes to tell tales while in "ecstasy" and say that the only reason she flinched was because "Mary" was about to drop the baby Jesus! 🤣🤣 they're scammers and so many people have fallen for it. Fatima, Akita, Lourdes, Guadalupe etc all church approved and totally believable. Medjugorje is a scam.
@@tracyann484 This video is NOT a "priest's opinion" as you so conveniently and deviously call it. All this Priest does is REPORT AND INFORM the very words, actions and messages of the alleged "Virgin of Medjugorje" itself, which go unnoticed by naive, sentimental Catholics in the midst of the enormous, ridiculous barrage of messages that this apparition gives, in absolute contrast to all the approved apparitions of Mary where the REAL Holy Mother is brief and to the point, even with Juan Diego who had just a little Catholic instruction. The false apparition itself trumps by far in a very negative, anti-Catholic way any permissions to go see the place. So, yes, we are listening very carefully to its messages and are horrified.
This channel’s a Holy apostolate with THE greatest fidelity to Our Faith and its Doctrine! I’m soo thankful to you for this video! I’ve always known by all the same reasons you’ve expressed, that Medjugorje is DEMONIC! and lately I’ve been shocked to see several priests including good exorcists somehow supporting this idol and its supposed “good fruits”. There’s a particular priest, called Fr. Ianuzzi who claims to have a number of “theology diplomas”, who’s prolific support for heresy, aliens thus not surprisingly, vehemently advocacy for Medjugorje, has been making the rounds on several otherwise orthodox Catholic channels. Even more worrisome’s to read the majority of comments praising Ianuzzi and this demonic cult to Medjugorje! I will repost a link to this video in such channels and keep praying for the repentance and conversion of Ianuzzi who’s making so many people fall for this idol. In Corde Iesu et Mariae✝️
Going to Beauraing in Belgium (fully approved apparition) in two weeks, where Our Lady appeared and her feet were covered. The same in Fatima. Medjugorje is such a peaceful place with holy fruits which cannot be denied. There is no validity to any of the objections when you take each in term, do not listen to hearsay. There is a reason why the people who go frequently to Medjugorje pray the rosary and attend mass daily, fast, read scripture and confess regularly. Ubertrads are missing some of the greatest graces of our time with their block-headedness. God Bless you all, and private revelation is not essential for salvation, but I know how deeply Medjugorje has helped me grow closer to Our Lord through Our Blessed Lady. The last time I went, St Charbel began to intercede for me in a powerful way. I cannot recommend visiting this holy place enough.
Medjugorje even if true, is private revelation. No one is required to believe messages of private revelations. If you have to choose between Medjugorje or Catholic doctrine, choose doctrine and you will not err. Jesus’ words in Scriptures are public revelations and are therefore free from errors and lies, and hence must be believed. If in doubt, cling to God’s words. Satan wants Catholic faithful divided. Love, don’t hate. Be humble, be not proud. Pray that we will not be subject to the trial.
As a reminder: greatest evil is for good men to do nothing. Also, not enough to just protect justice but not DEFEND the truth!! In other words, it isn't enough to just NOT choose the heretical, Jedj...must speak out against it in order to correct those lost souls who are being taken in!!!
@Hold Fast Sorry the church never approved medjugorje and they never will . Why are you blatantly lying . You are seriously under the deception of the devil . You know what you should be looking at Fatima Lourdes our Lady of Lasallet . Apperations approved by the church not this garbage
Listening to a comment by Father Malachi Martin about the demonic apparition at Medjugorje, he said that the Irish have a tradition that the Devil can change everything about his appearance but his feet, his hooves, he cannot change his hooves. This is why these "visionaries" say her feet are not seen. They were seen at Fatima and Lourdes. Maybe one of my fellow Catholics that know more about Medjugorje can answer this question: Didn't this demon actually appear as a demon for a fraction of a second, then disappeared, then reappeared as Our Lady and said "Sorry".??? Is this true?
@@ragejinraver The Vatican doesn't think so. The Vatican has approved of the Medjugorje apparitions for the first several years as being supernatural in nature. It allows Parrish pilgrimages to travel to Medjugorje. JP2 believed in the apparitions and visionaries there. Our current pope has sent an papal envoy to continually study it. Cardinal Sara celebrated youth day there last summer. Is this your definition. Of a cult? You'd do better to investigate the matter yourself than listen to 20 year old rumors on a RUclips channel.
My mother has been sucked into the this false apparition.... sure you get a bunch of people together praying the rosary(which Mary gave us a LONG time ago) some good, will come of it, but everything else is junk! My mother has been like 14 times.. when she comes home bad comes with her! She took a granddaughter with her who saw a possessed person on cross hill, that granddaughter jumped up and over my mother un-naturally. Now that they are home that granddaughter suffers as a “skitzo”, sees dark figures, hears voices. Another time she hosted a woman who came from there, supposedly was very holy... came to the states, went crazy, caused my mother a lot of grief... I agree with this priest!!!!!! We have Fatima, Our lady of Good Success and so many other approved.... this one is a cunning scam by the devil!!!
Isn't it ironic that so many flock to apparition sites seeking the supernatural, yet there is little to no wonder and awe for the word made flesh and food in the Holy Eucharist. The same ones that kneel on Mt. Podbrdo for the Gospa don't kneel to receive the King of the Universe. That should tell you something right there.
Fr. Malachi Martin, exorcist, many years ago said satan can appear in any shape or form but the feet will never be visible because he cannot change those hooves. The interview with Fr. Martin is on RUclips. X
I have never been to Medjugorje and I never felt called to go there. Although I did read her messages off and on over the years. I am taking the words from Father in this video seriously but I hope that those of you who have had sincere conversions through Medjugorje not lose hope or feel that it wasn’t genuine. God can use anything and of course He would have compassion on His poor children if they were being deceived. And Mother Mary would also. May the truth be made known once and for all by Holy Mother Church.
It must also be said that although the Church hasn't approved it, after 40 years or so it hasn't condemned it either, and has approved it as a place pilgrimage. So what has been said there up until now, doesn't contradict the faith and the dogmatic teaching of the Church.
@@ashpod9096 I believe you aren’t informed on the current status of the Medjugorje’s situation. I’ll explain it to you while also prompting you in good Christian spirit to apologize to me for calling me a troll, and also suggest to you to do better research before writing/saying ignorant statements. On 2010 Pope Benedict designated a commission chaired by Cardinal Camillo Ruini to determine the nature on Medjugorje’s apparitions and moved the authority for the final decision (approval or condemnation) to be taken at the Vatican and not the parish diocesan Bishop. Since a final decision hasn’t been made until today, the current position of the Church as of today is following: Official position of the Church: Until such time as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith releases its findings, the 1991 determination of the Yugoslav Bishops Conference of non constat de supernaturalitate ("It is undetermined at this time if it is of supernatural origin") still stands, and the Holy See considers this judgment still operative. Traditionally, there have been one of three determinations with regard to apparitions: 1. Constat de supernaturalitate (Determined to be supernatural) (approved) 2. Non constat de supernaturalitate (Not determined to be supernatural) (Neither approved or condemned - not determined - neutral) 3. Constat de non supernaturalitate (Determined not to be supernatural) (condemned) Until such time as the Holy See commission's findings are revealed and approved by the pope, the "not determined" ruling remains in effect. A commission on Medjugorje established in 2010 by Pope Benedict XVI and chaired by Cardinal Camillo Ruini reportedly voted 13-1 to confirm the supernatural origin of the first seven occurrences of the apparition only. In addition, Commission members also voted to recommend lifting the Holy See ban on official diocesan and parish pilgrimages to Medjugorje and for turning the town's parish Church of St. James into a pontifical shrine under Holy See oversight. The move, the commission indicated, would not signify recognition of the apparitions, but would acknowledge the faith and pastoral needs of the pilgrims while ensuring a proper accounting of donations. However, Pope Francis also mentioned that The Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, which reviewed the Ruini report and other material to which it was privy, expressed doubts about both the phenomenon and the Ruini report. The final decision will be made by the Pope after Polish Archbishop Henryk Hoser has completed his examination of the pastoral situation in Medjugorje. Authorization of Pilgrimage Made Official According to Massimiliano Menichetti from Vatican News, on May 12, 2019, Pope Francis authorized pilgrimages to Medjugorje considering the "considerable flow of people who go to Medjugorje and the abundant fruits of grace that have sprung from it." These pilgrimages can now be officially organized by dioceses and parishes even though the authentication of these visions has not been granted. The first sanctioned pilgrimage then took place for five days from August 2-6, 2019. During the pilgrimage, approximately 60,000 young Catholics from 97 different countries took part in the celebration of a youth festival. Fourteen archbishops and bishops and about 700 Catholic priests joined the festivities as well. Gian Franco Svidercoschi, who co-wrote the book "Gift and Mystery" with Pope John Paul II, and others, suggests that the Church has drawn a distinction between the "apparitions" and Medjugorje as a place of prayer. The general position seems to be that the spiritual fruits are undeniable
I never heard of our lady as saying any of there things the priest mentioned. There have been many people brought to Jesus , confession ? It’s just difficult to understand. I would need the specifics? If you knew the people I know 2 personally. 1 young man was brought to the priesthood from his Medjugorie experience, and 1 woman I personally know was cured 100% verified by the Mayo Clinic . ? So interesting debates? We shall ser
@@cindyjohnson6266 Read the books by Donal Foley or the one by E. Michael Jones. I also bought an “approved by the seers” book of “messages” and it was vague Hallmark-card-style platitudes none of which even made sense. Hundreds of pages that sound as solid as a Joe Biden speech. Utter garbage, run on sentences, non-sequiturs, and contradictions. I’m guessing few people try to read them and instead rely on the word of mouth. It’s very popular with the charismatic crowd because they rely on the heresy of Emotionalism.
@@rosezingleman5007 E. Michael Jones pushes his own peculiar conspiracy theories, often involving "the Jews," and thus is not very objective. And your attack on charismatics is quite telling. Why do you constantly accuse others of heresy? Did you know that Our Lady was present at Pentecost and spoke in tongues along with the other disciples of Christ? Is she a heretic now too? I'm asking because in your accusation of heresy you didn't make any distinction, you just said "the charismatic crowd," which of course includes Our Lady.
Pray for discernment as this priest in fact is not telling the truth himself. Ive been to Medjugorje and she is the Queen of Peace. She asks us to say 3 rosaries a day and to fast on Wed and Friday and to go to confession once a month - this would not come from the devil. Please do a little more research on good sites. One of the woman is a nun as well. they are not millionaires either.
Thank you, Father! I’ve been suspicious ever since I visited about 8 years ago. So much commercialism, the expensive private chapel of the seer, and his noticing as I looked up during the “apparition” all made me suspect, but this talk has absolutely convinced me that it’s a sad hoax. I’m going to bury the statue I got there and get one of Our Lady of Lourdes.
He’s wrong. Ugh. Mary NEVER said in Medjugorje that all religions are the same. Never. She said “all People are equal before God”. She specifically stated that all religions are not the same; every statement she makes is about the Catholic faith. The entire village is Catholic. Good grief.

I have visited Medjugore and there is so many conversions to God and many many blessings. This priest is not telling the truth. Yes our Lady said that all people are loved by God and are children of God. This priest has twisted the truth. Don't forget the devil is very alive with false priests as well "you will know them by their fruits" .
It’s not a hoax it is a real have you ever been there you should go there have been many conversion people praying the Rosary they go to Sacraments fasting even Pope John Paul 2 recommends it I don’t know where person in the video gets his information from not from God he is wrong I heard Mary’s Medjugore Message for years and all I heard was about drawing closer to Jesus ,loving others things like that and that satan is trying to trick us and influence us to go against God and nothing like the person in video says he should make sure of his information
@@zoj7454 I have been there. There is a beautiful parish there and many holy priests administering the sacraments. I just don't believe in the apparitions.
@@mommyseastar5776 and when did you go during the time of the apparition then why not do you believe in any of the apparitions or just this one you don’t believe I have never been there and I know it is true do you ever listen to the message of Hers you can find easily listen them
Fatima had 6 Apparitions in total while Medjugorje has 13,000 and counting..... and the majority of the messages given are repetitions of previous messages. Makes you wonder....
The messages coming from Medjugorje have been consistent from the beginning: An emphasis on daily prayer (especially the Rosary) in atonement for the sins of the world, confession, and a life that revolves around the Mass and the Most Holy Eucharist. Doesn't rely sound all that demonic to me.
There have been some weird messages, too. I wasn't even fully converted back to the Faith when I read some of the latest messages around 2010. Yet even I recognized that bits of the daily messages were more bizarre than the claims in the mailings I was receiving from the Prosperity Gospel charlatans. They were certainly not Catholic. I might have left the Faith for a long time, but I still had the ability to recognize authentic Catholic teaching.
@@kimfleury Are you familiar with seer John Leary? He went to Medjugorje many years ago and has himself been receiving daily visions and messages from Christ and the Blessed Mother. If what is occurring in Medjugorje is false, then his messages must be false as well. That is hard for me to believe, but I have to admit that it has been several years since I read books about what's taking place out there.
@@michaeldavid4857 the seers were disobedient to the church from the very beginning. Mary would never encourage disobedience to the church. That's enough for me. It's false from the beginning.
@@bweatherman3345 You need to realize where Međugoruje is. It is in Hercegovina, an area where Catholics were perseucted by Ottomans for centuries. Where people went to war with Muslim Bosnjak and Serbian Orthodox folk. Where lots of blood and tears were shed. How can such a "demonic" place have such fruits like being a rich source of zealous priests, helping feed the poor, caring for orphans, drug rehabilitation centers? Why would the devil implore people to pray the Rosary? To live a life aligned with the teachings of the Church? Judge a tree by its fruits not what you hear online. When you look at what happened to the leity that lived there for so long. One begins to understand why the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared there in the first place.
Father, I hope you one day speak out about Fr. Michel Rodrigue. There are Catholics who are acting like Protestants waiting for the rapture. People are hoarding, they're choosing to be sedevacantists. I don't say things are going well in the world or the Church. But we must trust and pray for our priests and bishops and put our faith in Christ and stick it out.
I know what you're talking about. There's a Facebook page Countdown to the Kingdom, I'm banned from it, but yeah... the multiple apparitions not approved, and people freaking out over it. I tried listening to Fr. Rodrigue, I just couldn't. The energy felt more like a seminar or stand-up club.
Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. You're right, there's a lot of noise out there. But discern carefully - not everything should be dismissed. The priest speaking in this video IS a member of SSPX I believe or at least a Trad as is the case of Fr. Ripperger (who is behind this channel). I'll try to find his name...
@@anneliesed not Fr. Ripperger, sounds nothing like him. I used to know the name of this priest a few years ago but I forgot, & yes I think he is FSSP if I remember correctly...
this priest does not speak truth - Our Lady Queen of Peace asks for 3 rosaries a day,, frequent mass, fast on wed and friday and monthly confession - this request is not diabolical.
Fatima and La Salette have all the warnings and admonishing pertinent to this generation. Medjugorje is full of confusion and is embracing of Vatican 11. The road to salvation is very very narrow...and millions of sight seers flocking to Medjugorje is not a narrow road in my humble opinion..
I'm shocked by the comments below. Why are you shooting the messenger? Isn't it possible that what he's saying is true? We know God can create good from evil. Isn't it possible that these visions are demonic and the "visionaries" are either liars or truly deceived, but that true conversions still could take place? I've had my doubts about these apparitions, and I think it's very telling that the very bishops have said these are not true Marian apparitions. If anything, wouldn't these bishops WANT the notoriety? What on earth would their incentive be to deny them?
If Father is accurately describing some of the things the apparition has supposedly said and done then it’s pretty clear that what he’s saying about it is true. Further discussion on the matter is not needed.
@@thomasturtle7207 He is not accurately describing it. He claims the visionaries teach indifferentism and they do not. This is not hard to check. If they were teaching a known heresy then it would be quite easy for the Church to condemn it on that basis.
There's a visionary in Brazil, Pedro something. He claims to have a vision of Our Lady EVERY DAY at 6pm, ongoing for years now.There's even a transmission live on RUclips. Never believed in this thing of daily apparitions, and for years.
A good friend of mine sent me this video. My grandmother would chase any apparitions (not approved), so called seers, etc. I guess she was trying to fill a void. I never liked Medjugorje nor Garabandal. By their fruits you will know them and by that I mean this. If you question someone who follows these non-approved apparitions, they will turn on you like a pack of wolves. Right now we see someone named Glenn Hudson making the Catholic media rounds re: Garabandal. Despite that the Bishops held, and still hold, that there is nothing supernatural there, he keeps pushing the messages and preys on a fearful populace. People really and truly need to discern everything carefully.
I was reading the series of message of our lady of medjugorje and what really alarmed me is when she said YOU ARE MINE. That really sent Red Flags over me because although she's our heavenly mother and a powerful intercessor to our Lord, we can't be hers because we are only for God.
If she said that, it makes me think of what Archbishop Fulton Sheen said, and that is, at the end of your life, you will hear, "You are Mine." And that'll be either Our Lord or satan who says that.
How wrong you are. She has more power than all the saints combined. She was born human and only human to ever been given such power. She is the mother of us humans and therefore we are hers
We are hers, hers to bring to Jesus, her SON and SAVIOR of the human race. What is said here about “Mary” is scary… and the price of their houser is disgusting as where:from whom did they get that money. Suspicious and well hidden…evil?😢
I have been to Medjugorje, I seen people of all ages going to Mass , confession and holy hour, praying the rosary and fasting . I can't see how this can be a bad thing
In and of itself, it is not. However, what are the doctrines they are being taught? The errors in their beliefs? Believing in a false version of the One True Faith, however devoutly, is still false. That is one of the saddest things about Medjugorje. It pulls the faithful away from the true faith into error and from there, spiral down into hell.
The people I've known to go come back and are excited, reengage with faithful activities and then their lives start to fall apart. Sickness, lost jobs, family members estranged all kinds of overwhelming problems.
I have been to Medjugorie in August 2011. I was in my 5th year of seminary. It was a very holy time for me: prayer, confession, Mass, rosaries, cross mountain, a sign of the cross in the sky formed, etc. However, the messages published by the visionaries are suspect. I had a very holy cousin who went, and she is virtually a Catholic/Protestant now because of her husband, and believes that everyone who “loves” will be saved… even without the sacraments of the Church. This is only because the visionaries are saying that Our Lady is saying this. This. Is. HERESY. Our Loving Mother would never teach Heresy. “Narrow is the road to Heaven, and few people take it.” - Jesus Christ
I've been to a Jehovah's witnesses gathering, I've seen how multitudes of people became good and God fearing and started helping each other, and I've also been to a Pentecostal meeting and all people there were praising God and renounced sin.....I can go on and on..that's how a skilful scammer works ( Satan for example 😉) he'll tell you many truths to make you trust him and eventually leads you to perdition. That's how poison works ,it's wrapped in sugar.
Did you know that st Joachim and st Anne were very rich as well, just like st Abraham. But all of them lives a poor lifestyle. The supposed visionaries fast intensively and do not live a luxurious lifestyle.
Who else can afford to travel, duh? Like working people get to jet set around the world in search of God. Average people have to seek God in service to our families and our fellow man.
whoa - pray Fluffy as this priest obviously has not been to Medjugorje. Many untruths he speaks. Our Lady Queen of Peace asks us to pray 3 rosaries, go to mass often, confessions once a month and fast on wednesday and friday. something that the devil certainly wouldnt be requesting.
@Rachel James She allowed it to happen to show them they were in sin. The pilgrims then went to the church for confession. I was at the spot where this happened. Not many people are aware of this place in Medjugorje.
He's lying. He's falsely claiming that the Blessed Mother has been teaching indifferentism for forty years. That's utterly absurd and satanically evil. Scripture promises a one way trip into the lake of fire for all liars.
@MillionthUsername can you please go to one of the numerous Medjugorie diabolical hoax RUclips sites and stop trolling here? We get it , you're completely brainwashed by the charlatans in Medjugorie much like a Jehovah's witnesses or pentecostal so go to your fellows medjugoogoos and be happy 😊
So thankful for Sensus Fidelium and it's credibility. What then happens if one has done Novenas or prayed with good intentions with Medjagorie? I ask this because during the Novena for Peace, I had many nightmares. A crow was banging on my window trying to cause harm. It could have been coincidence. However, it did not subside until I stopped the Novena early after hearing this and started praying to Our Mother of Sorrows.
Thank you Fr. for showing all of us this Medjugorje fraud. I went on the Internet and all the statues of our lady, as you pointed out, her feet are covered.
For me, the conversions and vocations that arose from Medjugorge are more than enough grace to speak for itself. ( See the testimony of Fr. Calloway and his conversion) Of course where the Holy Mother is, the devil would be near trying to pervert and deceive. But in the end her Immaculate Heart will triumph and crush his head under her feet. Ave Maria!
I remember reading that the message said that people of all faiths were equal before God, not about the faith itself but the people. I think there’s a lot of confusion and inaccurate information out there. There are also several exorcists at least that I’ve heard of, who have been in favor of Medjugorje like Fr. Gabriel Amorth or Fr. Reehil who had his conversion there.
also one of the early messages was this "July 17, 1986 "Dear children! Today I am calling you to reflect upon why I am with you this long. I am the Mediatrix between you and God." There are other messages where she refers to herself as mediatrix as well. I think there's just so much inaccurate information out there. If a good Dominican priest like Fr. Gregory Pine believes the apparitions in Medjugorje are authentic (he said this recently in an interview with Matt Fradd) the information here in this talk cannot be all true
No one is obsessed with medjugorje it is the land of Our lady where her feet have touched and she is saving souls through the sacrifices of priests and nuns and laity
@Darren Cahill on the other hand you follow shameless charlatans masquerading as seers that were exposed numerous times as liars and religious crooks...talking about using judgment 🙂
Father Gabriel Amorth the Vatican exorcist was a very big defender of Medjugorje, saint John Paul 2 also said many good things about Medjugorje, those were people with very good discernement, Why do so many people ignore the Ruini commission which is very positive that at least the first 7 apparitions there are real? This commission was started by pope Benedict and did an huge study on Medjugorje
The Bishop of the Diocese said it was not of God. It was his diocese, he was there first hand to govern and lead, not Amorth. The alleged visionaries responded by saying, "the bishop is bad." Fr. Vlasic was bad, too. He didn't leave the priesthood to father the child he sired with a nun, he was kicked out, just like he kicked out that nun he impregnated....oh, but "the fruits" you say. They never tell you that story. Doesn't the blessed mother provide graces and holiness to her priests where she appears?
@@Christian-lm6qh the Vatican removed the power from the local Bishop to rule on the apparitions, Fr. vlasic was there just for sometimes but alot of other priests like Fr.Jozo , Fr.Slavko,Fr.Danko, Fr.Marinko did an excellent job. The fruit cannot be ignored its a very important aspect, the miracle of conversion is the biggest miracle in Medjugorje
You can identify true apparitions of our Lord and Mother by their speech. For no created creature speaks with the Dignity and Truth as our Lord, with the exception of our Mother. I could not believe these apparitions in Medjugorjue because of the words supposedly spoken by our Mother. Then one of the male visionaries came to speak in America, many years ago, and I went to listen to him to determine the truth of these visions. When asked if he sees our Mother every day he responded, yes. When asked if our Mother would then visit him today? He said, no. He was on vacation and She did not know where he was!!! Obviously, anyone who knows God, and therefore our Mother; knows that God, and therefore our Mother, always knows where her children are. He then said again, Our Mother will visit me today, to end his final words. The visionaries words, proved his deceit in regards to these apparitions.
Catholics are not obligated to believe in private revelations. I believe that God would be extremely happy if everyone picked up their bibles and catechisms AND participated in the sacraments frequently and worthily as they're called to do.
"Jesus, Mary, I love you save souls!" Reparation prayer saves a soul & repairs 1000 blasphemies. These people need to be saved! GOD bless! Impirmatur Cardinal Fossati, Turin, Italy, 1949.
The actual quote is this: “Members of all faiths are equal before God. God rules over each faith just like a sovereign over his kingdom. In the world, all religions are not the same because all people have not complied with the commandments of God. They reject and disparage them.” God rules over all religions because God rules over *everything.* He loves us regardless of our religious beliefs because we are all His children and He loves all of us. All religions however are NOT the same. Stop spreading false information. If you want to make a point, you can make it without lying.
As someone who has known and studied Medjugorje since 1989, I definitely heard things that were misquoted and taken out of context. I’d like to see every receipt for every claim that was made. I don’t particularly think you have the authority to condemn an apparition site that is currently not approved but also not condemned by the Church.
This is ridiculous. Conversions happen in Medjugorje. Miracles happen in Medjugorje. The Blessed Mother has and does appear in Medjugorje, I have no doubt about it. People go to Mass and pray the Rosary all day. This would not be happening if it were not of God. If it is true that it’s diabolical because her feet are hidden, then ask yourself why Our Lady of Guadalupe’s feet are hidden? I get that discernment is hard, but Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruit.”
The Holy Catholic Church is the only true church. I'm speaking of pre vatican 2. Medugorije is a false apparition, Our Lady would never put her son's church at the same level as false churches. Our Lady is the only way to Jesus.
Without Medjugorje, I wouldn’t be catholic. I was a very broken cradle catholic in my teens who discovered the beauty of the gospel, the sacraments, tradition & beauty of the Church through Medjugorje. Not once was I lead to believe that all faiths are equal. No, but that the catholic faith is the only way to the truth and salvation. That’s what I learned through Medjugorje.
@@SensusFidelium but thank you for the acknowledgment. As long as you’ve seen another person’s testimony of the effects of grace this place has brought into another life
Without having been addicted to pornography as a child, and without having been emotionally neglected by a parent as a child, I wouldn't be Catholic all these years later. Order can come out of the most warped of things; God sent his only Son to remedy the wrongs of Adam and Eve. The better situation, of course, would be that we never offended God in the first place. To obtain good never justifies that which is warped. I'm glad you're Catholic, and do take your winnings and run, but please don't hold Medjugore in esteem because of where it led you. May God Bless and Mary keep you.
@@W3R3W00F you know we could probably argue back and forth, but ultimately, we know this is a private revelation that the church has not condemned. We are to use our best judgement and prayerful discernment to form our own opinions to which we are entitled. I appreciate your weigh-in, but I’m here to share my positive testimony about these apparitions as I believe them to be true. I’d encourage others to learn about them so they can experience coming to know the joy of our Catholic faith themselves. I believe Medjugorje leads people to Jesus through our Blessed Mother Mary.
BY THEIR FRUITS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM! The countless conversions at Medjugorje speak for themselves. "A Bad tree cannot produce good fruit; and a kingdom divided against itself will collapse." SATAN CANNOT PRODUCE GOOD FRUIT!!!!! Medjugorje has been described as the Confessional of the world. ✝️🛐🙏
You are wrong, When people are gathered together, the Holy Spirit is present, but the Virgin Mary has NEVER APPEARED AT MEDJUGORGE! The Holy Rosaries of the people produce good fruit, not the machinations of the devil. Please wake up. True visionaries don't cash in and lead rich lives.
Good evening, Sir! Your point is very well taken, Mr. Bastian, I most assure you. We must at all times be cognizant of the bad trees which flourish all around us, and on that point I most heartily and enthusiastically concur. However, I think we Catholics can all readily agree that the Freemasons, for example, are a notoriously evil organization and have been for centuries, yet they themselves do much that can best be described as being exceptionally benevolent for the most vulnerable among us (e.g., Shriner's Hospital for Children). Please understand that I do not wish to ever dare dispute the words of Our Lord, I merely seek to point out that He also warned us of those perpetually among us who are "...wolves in sheep's clothing;" meaning, among other things, we must always be on guard against evil and clever deceptions, particularly those which may come from Satan himself. Finally, I should like to suggest, most respectfully, that while true and genuine conversions may, of course, come from heavenly encounters; but, glory be to God, they may also come from extraordinarily gruesome, even purely evil, experiences. Yes, the grace received is always from God (e.g., the grace of conversion), but the manner in which it is bestowed is solely by His Holy Will, no matter the method He lovingly chooses. To Jesus through Mary; God richly bless you (and a very merry and blessed Christmas to you & yours!)...
@@plahmon And add to that: While conversions may be granted by God in this particular place (much to the devil's consternation), I'm sure the devil uses that to confuse the issue in people's minds. While I'm very happy over the conversion of souls there, I'm also curious to know, in the end, how many of those conversions will have been of the kind that resemble the seeds that fell on stony ground, which initially sprang up, then withered away because they had no root. I certainly pray that's not the case. But any conversions based solely on emotion or "feelings" will...not....last. Therefore, to my mind, this kind of fruit that people speak of regarding Medugorje is yet to be determined.
too many souls have been there over 25 years now and we are asked by Our Lady Queen of Peace to pray 3 rosaries a day, frequent mass, confession monthly, fasting wednesday and fridays, that doesn't seem diabolical.
Thank you Father for clarifying the medijorge cult. I always instinctively felt that the constant messages coming out of that place didn’t ring true. However in recent times friends of mine who are devoted, almost obsessed with these ‘apparitions’ almost persuaded me that they were genuine. Having listened to this podcast however has cemented my conviction that it is indeed diabolical.
It is good to be careful and even disbelieve, because if this is a real apparition, this disbelief will only help people develop discernment and that will actually help get the Medjugorje apparitions approved. But I would like to say that I just ran over and checked my image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and her feet are also completely covered.
@@dgathome4345 Good point. I also was looking at the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and there is a fold in her dress near the bottom that looks like it could be a foot sticking out from beneath her dress...or it could just be a fold in the cloth, I can't tell. Anyways, I would recommend reading 'My Heart Will Triumph' by Mirjana Soldo, which is a book written about Medjugorje by one of the seers. The way she writes seems very sincere. Thank you for disagreeing with me in such a kind way.😀❤😀
I too am a friend of Tradition, I pray for the Unity of All Christians. I know there are many people who have been converted through Medjugorie, and there are continuous miracles that occur there. I pray many catholics do their research on Medjugorie and look into the lives of the seers. Maybe this is a Fatima event, where many have doubted and denounced the visions, when indeed the visions were real. Remember we must test all the prophets as Holy Scripture says. May you all be Blessed, and may we begin to worship the Lord "In Spirit and in Truth". May All Schisms in the Body of Christ be healed in Jesus name, and may the hierarchy in the church be Illumined and grow closer to the Sacred Heart of Our Saviour. Soon the Warning is coming for us all, and the great conversion of souls is upon us. May you all live in love of neighbor and above all Love of God Almighty. May the Most Holy Mother of God save us and keep us safe under her mantle. Amen. Amen.
Be CAREFUL regarding Medjugorje..... Despite the countless conversions, something could be terribly wrong over there...... It is not up to me to judge anything or anyone, but please keep in mind that during the so called "endtimes" evil wil take any form possible to deceive the faithful as well as the non-believers desperately seeking for the truth.... Beware of false prophets........ as mentioned in the Bible, by Christ Himself! 🙏💒🇳🇱
just got back from Medugorje. I saw people flocking to Mass, Adoration and the Rosary, fasting and doing penance. I personally saw the Holy Eucharist shining like the ☀️.
This is not an approved apparition. People obsessed with these apparitions need to be very careful. I say: why obsesse with something unapproved when we have Fatima, Lourdes, Akita, Guadalupe, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, Our Lady of La Salette, Our Lady of Knock,etc
Our Lady of Guadalupe is questionable. To say the least
@@me-ds2il why?
@@freshbrewedasmr3378 Do some proper research
@@me-ds2il all the research shows that it is an image from Heaven. During a ProLife Mass there were pictures taken of the Virgin’s womb having a heavenly light

The message of Our Lady we need to follow and practice is the First Five Saturdays Devotion, the message of Fatima.
I do the First Saturdays continuously... and frequent mass, confession, eucharist, fasting, rosary, scripture reading is encouraged in Medjugorje - just as in Fatima.
Medjugorje is a obvious caricature of Fatima. Satan will do anything to get people away from the true Church. Christ and The Church are one. Obedience Obedience Obedience to the Bishop always stressed by The Blessed Mother.
Condemned by all the Bishops and one was kidnapped and beaten. The seers are liars.
@@KenPaulsenArchitect Many Catholics do not practice this devotion. We are not living in an era of peace and Russia has spread its errors. The First five Saturdays was the specific formula given to Sr Lucia by Our Lady with the Child Jesus in 1925 for for the Triumph of Her Immaculate Heart. It isn’t mentioned in the 40,000-50,000 messages of Medjugorie.
@@PBXVIILY The visionaries ARE obedient. Give an example of disobedience. The bishop told them they could not have apparitions in the church. And certainly, his authority has jurisdiction there. They complied and had apparitions elsewhere. So some people said that was disobedient. But it's not. Bear in mind, the limits of jurisdiction. If your bishop tells you to wear yellow pants, or that the sun revolves around the earth, that is outside of his jurisdiction. In Fatima, the local priest told Lucia, and others, not to go to the Cova. That was beyond his jurisdiction. Be careful of judging people.
@@kzs5594 I'll bet you the five first Saturdays are not mentioned in subsequent approved apparitions such as Akita or Kebeho either (nor had they been mentioned previously such as at Lourdes). Praying, fasting, (on Wednesdays and Fridays) the Eucharist, Confession and reading scripture daily are the requests of Our Lady in Medjugorje.
Please can anyone pray for me, I m in great pain
Praying for you. For God to intervene and ease your pain and heal you.
🙏🙏🙏
@@mazikode who is hod
@@bweatherman3345 sorry typo meant God.
Will do... May God Bless You.
For everyone saying the apparition couldn't be fake because Mary has apparently requested heavenly things here, all I gotta say is this: *don't assume the devil won't take short-term losses to make long-term gains.*
The former greatest of all angels still has the capacity for deception as a _chess grandmaster_ , not some hasty toddler.
Precisely, toooo many Christians undermine the Devils cunning ways of hurting the faithful. This apparition for instance and all the people who claim fruition of conversion is enough, are ready to attack those who disprove of it like a cult. The testimonials of conversion to combat those who see it for what it is proves what you said to be correct. The conversions were meant to happen to allow Catholics to fight against each other. Sounds to me, not enough priest teach their flock how cunning the Devil is, given how many people flock to the fake apparition of Medjugorje
So the only way you will accept it is if the church approves it? Hard to approve if it's been happening for over 20 years. Church is careful so therefore from all the apparitions which have been approved were approved after they stopped. So many stories of miracles and healings that have happened you seem the think that the devil is doing the work? Logical reasoning would say otherwise.
Excellent post, well stated 👏 🙏
You have to be careful when you mention healings, because they can be counterfeit ones. My heart WANTS to believe what is happening is true, but I prefer to love my Mother by trying to live the message of Fatima, wearing my brown scapular, praying the rosary and having the miraculous medal around my neck, until the Church approves these apparitions.. or not.
@@CountofHazelview Amen! Perfectly said, completely agreed.
I listened (I did not technically read) to Fr Amorth's (Vatican's Exorcist) account saying that same thing about the feet. I believe the feet ARE the key. We can be deceived in so many ways. Pray on it. The truth shall set you free. The church is going through her passion. Stay with Our Lady at the foot of the cross. St Joseph, Terror of demons, pray for us.
Fr Gabriel Amorth believed in Medjugorje apparitions and called it 'A Fortress against Satan'.
How can you prove Fr. Amorth stayed that ?)
@@natty7217 Well thanks -- I didn't know that! I guess I'll take the advice of the exorcist instead of the average priest.
@@natty7217 NO Fr. Amorth never approved of Medjugorje and you cultists keep saying he did because you need “big name” approval. It is an absolute LIE that he approved it just as the Padre Pio lie and the JP2 lie and the Benedict lie. None of them approved it and if they had it would’ve been huge news but it’s a lie. Cultists lie to protect the dopamine hits they are addicted to. Get over your addiction. Try something that won’t cause your damnation.
@@zthroescha It’s a LIE that Gabriel Amorth “approved” of Medj. He denied it many times in his life, right up to the end but people will assume that nobody would lie about something like that, so they believe the lie and the lie spreads as if it’s true. Do not believe this lie about ANY prominent Catholic believing in Medjugorje because it isn’t true. The devil loves this lie because it destroys reputations.
I don't know if this is related to the statue of Medjigore. But I remember a story of Saint Padre pio saying that he will not believe in any apparition where he cannot see our Heavenly Mother crushing the head of Satan.
Padre pio doesn't know everything either. No human know how the heavenly mother will show herself. She didn't show herself crushing the head of Satan either in Fatima
Mary wasn't crushing the serpent's head at Lourdes or Fatima. Also, her feet were hidden by a cloud when she appeared in Beauraing. I don't think Medjugorje is a true apparition but these arguments against it are weak.
@@bballerp06THANK YOU❤️
@@mysticalrose6576THANK YOU❤️
Also our lady of Guadalupe.
Sometimes it’s a good idea to listen to the whole talk before commenting. Father, you are 100% correct.
I had long wondered why the feet of the Mother of God were showing, when Saint Bernadette saw her at Lourdes. This video makes clear how important Mary’s feet are in crushing the evil one. Thank you so much for explaining that, and may God bless you 🙏🏼
@Julie At Lourdes, Mary also had roses on her feet. I believe that they were gold. The accounts of her interaction with Bernadette, as related by the Saint, reveal the loving and pure nature of the Holy Virgin. They make for beautiful reading.
@Julie could you tell me the name of the book about La Salette please? Merry Christmas and Ave Maria.
These feet comments are so ignorant, especially if you'd learn what the Bible actually says.
@Julie There are so many good books about Saint Bernadette and Our Lady of Lourdes. You should be able to find several that will keep you occupied 🙂🙏🏼 Merry Christmas ✝️🎄
@@A.C- Why do you say that? The Holy Scriptures tell us that the Mother of God will crush the serpent beneath her foot, and the reality that her feet were clearly visible during the Apparitions at Lourdes and at La Salette underscore their validity. The children who saw Mary had little conception of her role in Biblical prophesy.
Our blessed mother in Fatima said there would be diabolical disorientation and oh boy was she right
I believe Padre PIO said The Blessed Mother does not jabber daily!!!
I completely agree.
Didn't know Padre pio knows what the holy mother will do and won't do
@@bballerp06 The guy saw his guardian angel daily and fought demons... i think he'd know...
Agreed. Bible is full of visions . Ezekiel Daniel St John . The visions where once off experiences or a few in a life time . Can't be think .
Usually, to justify the false apparition of Medjugorje's incessant chatter box for decades, the cultic followers bring another apparition that was extended BUT in that apparition that they drag as an excuse the Virgin Mary just appeared without saying anything. Do not be deceived.
this makes me so sick. May God have mercy on us all. May Our Lady crush all heresy. Our Lady of Good Success, pray for us.
If the doctors of the church say to not follow apparitions that are not approved by the church is enough for me. St Francis of Sales is one of those.
Our Lady's Requests are,
1. Daily Mass
2. Continue confession
3. Eucharist adoration
4. Daily Rosary
5. Fast on Wednesday & Friday
Will these requests come from the enemy of Our LORD?? 🤔🤔
The hallmark of Satan is to speak the truth with falsehoods sprinkled in. He is far more intelligent than you or I and will not so easily give himself away. This is where discernment has its place
Our Lady requested this with the first five Saturdays devotion at Fatima, which is never mentioned in the Medugorje messages.
Judy read what she said. You will see contradiction to our catholic faith.
The question is, are the sacraments valid? I have a feeling that these sacraments are forced, to make it look like there are “fruits of conversions.” If invalid, there is no grace. I can defend Mary and the validity of apparitions, if they don’t contradict Christ’s public revelations. I don’t sin this way. What about the Immaculate Heart, has it ever been mentioned? How could souls go mostly Purgatory (Medjugorje) as opposed to Hell (at Fatima), are we better than people then? I don’t think so, considering the rampant abortions, contraceptions and promiscuity today.
Having come back to the practice of my faith through my experiences at Medjugorje, I thank Our Lord and his blessed mother for all the graces that have been poured down on hundreds of thousands of pilgrims that have visited this blessed site. Judy Paris, you are absolutely right in your comment that these divine graces can only come through divine intercession. What is Satanic and so disconcerting is this terrible video that is a blasphemy to the blessings given to all of us through our blessed Mother. I urge all readers and viewers to ignore its negative message.
If Mary is hiding her feet and if the resurrected Christ has not his 5 glorious wounds, then we know this to be a diabolical apparition. Well said Fr. SC. Thank you for this timely sermon.
Thank you! My thoughts exactly!
We wher always told that the devil can take any form but he can't change his feet...that was a myth in Ireland
Father claims, “Covered feet” makes for a devil not Our Lady? What a claim and how funny for a priest that apparently is not familiar with of an image created by God and it resides in Mexico City, Mexico.
Correction, my good father, please spend a few moments and ponder on the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. You will notice very clearly, Her feet are covered, Her feet are not exposed.
@@ourladyofmedjugorje-queeno2904 Blessed be Our Lord and His Immaculate Mother! Concerning Our Lady of Guadeloupe, her right foot can be seen standing over the darkened Crescent Moon. Sure it is in a shoe, but the shoe is in the shape of her foot, not a hoof. A hoof cannot fit in a shoe. May we always love Our Immaculate Mother more and more. Ave Maria!
@@BreakingTradSermons Thanks, breakingTrad, I also noticed our Lady's shoe in the tilma. God bless you. Mater Divinæ Gratiæ Ora pro nobis. 🙏✝️
Our Mother wouldn't appear on command.. but satan would.
So true my friend
This is a childish statement. Satan doesn't listen to men. Only God by force.
Men don't have control over him. I have heard testimonies from exorcist and satanists.
She made a request of time and place. The children of Fatima had appointment times. If you read Lucia’s account, she was drawn to Cova at certain times
When the statue w/o the serpent was showing, I saw to the right our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. Thank you Lord for opening my eyes. I pray more people discerns and learns more. Ave María purísima, ruega por nosotros que recurrimos a vos.
Look at the image of the Tilma of Guadalupe. Her feet are not visible on that either. Yes her feet will crush the head of the serpent and her work at Medjugorje is working toward that end. But do not take not seeing them as it being a deception. This video is ill prepared at best, the work of Satan trying to confuse and turn away people at worst
Sigh, where is the reply?😢
@@patriciagrenier9082Why is a reply needed? She explained how Međ is different from true sites.
This is hard one to know I know of people who have gone to medjugorje completely turned their life around, others I have heard no change, a priest once told my mother “ sitting with the blessed sacrament is better than going to any shrine” yes going to these places may help with faith but remember, I’ve never heard of our lady of Medjugorje call for repentance unlike Fatima or Lourdes or a good success
Excellent homily. Our Lady would never say that all religions are the same.
Nor would she nearly drop the infant Jesus by accident.
@@thomasturtle7207 that was the one where I was like ya no way, I tried to keep an open mind but once the "seer" claimed that she saw Mary dropping Jesus I was like what a liar, or at least I hope she's a liar it's very possible that she's seeing a demon pretending to be Mary playing on the pride and greed of the seer's in order to fool the world.
She did not say that, but the lying priest whom you praise for an "excellent homily" falsely claimed that she did.
@@MillionthUsername actually, she did say that. It is extremely well documented in Medjugorje literature. I should know, I lived there for a short time - on the eve of the war, sadly- and (to my everlasting regret) I actively promoted it for most of the 90s; led a couple of pilgrimages. I was also present during an "apparition" . It was after the children stopped seeing Gospa together with Maria, who agreed to her friend's (my retreat centre's owner's), request that she had her apparition there that evening, for a change. I was three feet away from Maria during her supposed ecstasy. She looked as fed up as anyone I've ever seen. It was the beginning of the end of my time as a Medj follower. I live in the UK by the way, so just a three hour flight away hence the easy frequency of visits.
Also true, the claim that Our Lady once appeared to Miriana "disguised" as the devil..."excuse me for this" the Gospa is supposed to have said " but you must know that the Devil exists." Hardly the terrifying visit to hell the poor children at Fatima had.
Also true, the tale of the local driver who said he was stopped and then told by Jesus to throw a bloody handkerchief into the river, "otherwise" said the redoubtable Gospa "it would have meant the end of the world." (Incidentally this is in part based on a pre-existing Croatian legend). Now, like Vicka's explanation about Mary dropping the Baby Jesus, all of this is very much in the public domain and free to be read by any proponent of Medjugorje. But, in my experience at least, no "Medj-Head" ever does; or, if they do, they mirror the spirit of disobedience coming from the local priests and dismiss it.
Nor, do those who see the sun spin, relate how often this happens during Mass. Far from it being a "sign" pointing to the majesty of the Eucharistic, it's instead, a baleful distraction to those outside the church, supposedly attending Mass (if you've been there, you'll remember, church is often overflowing), who suddenly have their attention drawn away from the Sacrament, towards sensations in the sky. Medj supporters can protest all they like, but, it's quite possible I know more about Medjugorje than almost anyone you know. It is a diabolic fake. A demonic distraction to keep the people away from Our Lady's actual requests at Fatima (or Akita, to name just one authentic Marian apparition, with simple substantial messages for the world).
And it's also there to keep the flagging faithful in touch with their "feelings". Popular among those looking to live their best life. And whilst I do accept there have been conversions, I cannot draw myself away from the mystery, that given how immediate and life-changing it's supposed to be, why aren't there more. Because, in reality, while on pilgrimage it's great, but far from being gentle, Gospa's messages are in fact very demanding. Let's face it, if all the millions who visited there actually "lived the messages"; Gospa's five-point plan, the world wouldn't be in this mess.
People do pray there, the experience can be overwhelmingly positive and faith affirming. How could it not be? That's the only fruit of any worth, and it comes from basking in the faith of thousands of pilgrims at prayer. It is a fruit despite the visionaries, not because of them.
But at home, mostly, people don't live the messages and they get their knickers in a good old twist about it too...then, just stop bothering. It happened to me and it happened to everyone I ever met there or through it. And I met plenty. That's the most pernicious thing about it, it does go against Catholic teaching (all religions are equal being just one), in answer to some of the protestations below. But worst of all, it twists the spiritual requirements of the faithful to the point where the apparition becomes more important than the Gospel or even the mass. Live the messages! Have you seen Our Lady's monthly message? Why can't priests read Our Lady's messages? Pilgrims often ask. Shouldn't "The Poem of the Man God" (Gospa approved, btw), be read in church instead of the Gospel? I was once asked. Medjugorje turns Catholic teaching into mere lingo. And it's followers lap it up...to say nothing of it's attendant "visionaries" who spring up everywhere in it's wake, on melodramatic RUclips channels and in the pages self-published books of messages- available at the back of church after today's talk folks! I was once at a Medjugorje evening here, where the "monthly message" was read out alongside another message made that from a so called apparition I Scottsdale. They only thing they had in coming was they said, absolutely nothing at all. Messages like gossip at the back of church.
And still now, no one can tell me why "Queen of Peace" failed to warn the "visionaries" of the forthcoming, horrific Balkan civil war and genocide, the way Our Lady did in Kibeho, where she actually appeared. Or even as Our Lady warned about the Second World War at Fatima. But, we know the answer to this mystery, she isn't there. Meanwhile, the world at large has gone from bad to worse. So much for the fruits of Medjugorje and it's message of twice weekly fasting, confession and three hours prayer daily "but it's only a sixth of your day" the apparition said!
It's time Medjugorje supporters wised up. But no, off they go each year to top up the experience. And really, to what ends? Signs and wonders for a week, then spiritual drudgery back in the real world, as pilgrims bemoan how hard it is when you're back in your drifting parish, no longer experiencing the Medj "high"...never mind, there's always next year. Well, there have been 40 of those years now and where are we?
@@msj5885 thank you for these details
I was drawn back to Church via Medugorje, had experiences not of this world, saw the Eucharist in front of the Sun after making my first Confession since I was a boy whilst the apparition took place in the Church in Medugorje. I proceeded to see the Eucharist in front of the Sun for weeks back home. I stopped looking because the real Eucharist is so much greater. I have transferred my devotion to Our Lady of Fatima and the unfulfilled Consecration of Russia which St Joseph will bring about. I cannot deny what this good priest says as it seems correct in reason and faith. I do the work of the Lord in education. I cannot explain what I experienced nor deny it. I have travelled towards devotion to the Three Sacred Hearts - deception is easy to fall into so submit to a good Catholic priest.
Will 2022 be a worse year?? Should we take the jab??
Agreed, and I was led back to the sacraments of the church by a devotee of Medjugorje during a pilgrimage my sister invited me on to the national Shrine of the Immaculate Conception with what is now my parish. If something will be known by its fruits it will take time for the fruits to be known. It seems things on earth will always be arguable. Case in point Padre Pio, or the diary of Divine Mercy and now Medjugorje all of which always submitted to the authority of the church in humility. Only time will tell but I for one am grateful to the one whose faith made her reach out to me and bring my own faith to life. Apparently no one at my parish or neighborhood ever felt led to do that.
I too had a conversion experience in Medjugore. I witnessed extraordinary phenomena but it was the opening of my heart to the truth of the Church that convinced me. Also Sr Briege confirms she has been given confirmation of our Bl Mother's appearance there.
Remember, the devil can do this kind of magic too. I don't believe in Medjugorje from the very beginning
The devil is 90 percent truth and 10 percent lies. It's the 10 percent that kills you.
As Fr. Malichi Martin once said, the woman’s feet are hidden because of the hooves!
Our Lady Queen of Peace pray for us
Amen!
Our Lady Queen of Peace pray for us and the whole world!
I was fascinated in my 30s and had ordered the books. But when I read all religions are the same I was stunned. Thought about it for a while and threw all the items I had received from Medjugorje. I am from India and I know about many religions and I couldn't believe this vision anymore.
"The Commonitory" written by St. Vincent of Lerins in the 5th century, was written as a way to identify heresy/heretics, but also, why God allows even prominent men (Origen etc.) to err. God allows error/heresy & false apparitions to test the faithful. Gal. 5.25, 5:16 , "If any man preach a new doctrine let him be accursed" anathema. Any man, even an angel, of course includes anti-popes.
The fact that this comment thread is absolutely divided is a HUGE SIGN that Medjugorje is false. The devil wants Catholics in conflict because then we won’t evangelize or even pray within our family.
These false apparitions cause nothing but conflicts, and continue to do so going on 40+ years.
Medjugorje visionaries: living a life of materialism and worldly success. (Armani, million Dollar homes). Fatima visionaries: 2 died shortly after. Becoming prayerful, suffering servants of our lady, while Lucia became a religious spreading much devotion to our lady.
This comparison alone should shed light on the validity of the medjugorje “apparitions”
There is a documented time when Satan appeared dressed as the Virgin to the “seers” and immediately disappeared, then “she” reappeared and the first thing that was said was “Sorry about that!” As if the demon forgot to put on makeup first. I don’t have the link for it anymore but you can look it up.
I've tried looking this up and haven't found anything. Could you tell me how you found it or send me the link if you found the video again. Thanks.
@@holyroller. it was on a video channel called The Marian Catholic but unfortunately the channel doesn’t exist anymore. I will try to find another link for you
@@freshbrewedasmr3378 Thank you, and if you can't find it that's okay. I appreciate the effort.

Thank You so much for these clarifications from someone I can trust.

Thank you Father! AVE MARIA!
If the Church declares Medjugorje a false apparition then we must also consent. I've been on pilgrimage four times to Medjugorje starting in 1997. I would be terribly saddened to find out this has all been one immense diabolical deception as would millions of other people who have been there. However it would not shake my faith and belief in the one true and holy Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ. In the meantime there is no harm in following the message of Medjugorje: a deeper personal conversion to Christ through the grace of receiving the Sacraments, meditating on the Sacred Scriptures and devoting yourself to prayer and fasting.
BEAUTIFULLY STATED..
Completely agree! Thank you for sharing
Well it is and if this apparitions fool you then I fear for you when the Antichrist appears very very soon, you better get back to the traditional Catholic Latin mass stay away from Freemason Francis and his man made Catholic Church find your true faith again nothing tied to Vatican 2.
That is correct and I do not believe the Vatican has declared Medjugorje a "false" apparition.
Father Donald Calloway stated that Our Lady of Medjugorje inspired his conversion and he propagates the Rosary.
Sounds like Satan is doing a terrible job.
Would a diabolic place such as medjugorije
Convert many people that are not in faith such as Fr.Donalld colloway who is one of the strongedt preachers of Holy Mary and Rosary?
God uses all sorts of things. Converting someone doesn't make it true. Protestantism has converted some to the true religion and I doubt you'll say protestantism is true.
What will happen is when this is condemned is many many many will reject the Church bc they 'know' this is true
@@SensusFidelium So you are a prophet now? We will have to see whether your prophecy comes true or not, as that is the test of a prophet who foretells future events.
If it teaches indifferentism, which your no-name priest claims, why isn't it already condemned for that? Why can't I find the supposed teaching on indifferentism? Can you quote the visionaries' teaching on indifferentism? There must be forty years' worth of such teaching if in fact they are teaching it. Can you or the supposed priest engage in a rational dialogue about what you both claim to be indifferentism in the messages?
And lastly, if you freely admit that there is massive good fruit, why are you claiming that it's evil? The person you are responding to is not claiming, nor am I aware that anyone else is, that the mere existence of any conversion is proof of authenticity, but they are asking whether a "diabolic place" such as you claim Medjugorje is, would produce such fruit. So you didn't answer the question properly, did you? Do you believe that a diabolic apparition would lead so many millions to conversion to Jesus Christ? If so, what is your argument for that. Provide examples of known diabolic places of false apparitions and false prophecies which have led to such a massive positive impact for conversion to Christ. I think this is a case of you can't have your cake and eat it too. If your claim is that it is of the devil, then show us the demonic fruit. When you make the claim that the devil is converting millions to Christ on account of a plan to pull the rug out from everyone decades into the future - according to your prophecy - then your argument seems not only weak but bogus. How is the devil even capable of converting millions to Christ? And then why should any of those converted to Christ ever leave Him for some future secret heresy that the devil plans to unveil in Medjugorje in the future? If this is the devil at work, he seems to be self-defeating. It seems to me that actual demons are interested in taking people away from Christ, not drawing people to Him.
I like Fr. Calloway, but I also disagree with his devotion to Divine Mercy chaplet...the man isn't perfect.
@@MillionthUsername what Steve predicted doesn't take a prophet...it's happened with a number of false apparitions over the years. There almost certainly will be those who leave the church if it rules Medugorje as false, if precedence shows anything
Clearly some people know better than Holy Mother Church or her ministers
@@MillionthUsername This video is one man's opinion. Unfortunately it seems most people on this thread are "looking" for a priest to disagree with Medjugorje. If he's right, which he isn't then oh happy deception that brings millions to pray the rosary, return to monthly confession, Eucharistic adoration, reverencing the Holy Mass again..the fruit goes on and on. My comment correcting him about our Lady's message about all religions being equal (which she did not say). He deleted. So he's afraid of debate and cannot prove his statement. I'm sure this will get deleted as well.
I have been to Medjugorje and present during an apparition. I would never say ever that that apparition, or what is going on there by grace “protects the head of the serpent.” nothing that is of God that promotes peace fasting prayer, and the holy mass protects the head of the serpent. I’m offended as to how this is titled without knowing the fruits. Whatever is going on here by gods grace allowed me and my family as young teenagers to approach God in prayer and fasting on Wednesday & Friday and penance. I would not have grown in grace without Medjugorje. There is commercialism in France too around Lourdes any of the shrines there. What you are judging is peoples reaction to God and what they decide to do but they are also promoting the Faith when they sell their wares/ goods. because you haven’t been there, you don’t realize how hungry people are when they get there for God for any reminder of God to hold onto what they’re experiencing there at Mass at Adoration when the body trembles at the Presence of God. I know I was not going there to see our lady, but going there to be with her which was the most important and to re-configure my life so the tenants in this talk, of their conclusions are immature. Vicka and others desired to be religious but in order to be a religious I know this. Canonically, I think the apparitions had to cease for her to be considered.
Well said! The religious leaders in Jesus’ time said that He did His signs through Satan. And what was Jesus’ response? “A house divided will not stand.” It is total ridiculous to say that it is a demonic force that gives the message of fasting/prayer (rosary)/Mass/The Eucharist.
Did you listen to what this priest presented as per the “seers”? Why don’t you rebut what the “seers” claim in contradiction to the Church?
@@brianwalsh7352 Sorry but Satan is doing his best with sowing misinformation, causing division between well meaning people. As Fr. Chris Alar, of the Marians of the Immaculate Conception, the promoters of Divine Mercy, said in his response today on their "Divine Mercy" RUclips Channel, the nitpickers of little things, miss the "fruits" that are huge and more important. At every apparition site, you can find erroneous information by well meaning people. But the Church commission in 2010, by Pope Benedict, has approved the possible validity of the early apparitions at Medjugorie. The site has been taken away from the local Bishops and has been under the jurisdiction of the Holy See. It is not approved OR disproved as the apparitions are ongoing. The Church in 2019 approved pilgrimages and has setup for pastoral care, because of the crowds that come every year. And as I have said, Satan would NOT promote "The Mass/Receiving Communion/Praying the Rosary/Fasting". I think Jesus would agree with that!
2 Timothy 4:3. “For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires.” This is a prophecy for our times. The evil one is VERY cunning. He will deceive. And, I have heard visitors their said they “felt” close to God there. Faith is not a feeling. Would they not “feel “ closer to God at Mass? People who believe in this WANT to believe! Please use discernment.
I have been to Medjugorje 7 times or so.
It is the confessional of the world like no other, lukewarm faith is renewed, devotion to the Rosary and the Blessed Sacrament is clearly evident, miracles, weeping statues, and healings happen, which I have personally seen.
Even St John Paul II said if he wasn’t the Pope he would be in Medjugorje. I have been present at apparitions, perceived the Holiness present, even bird song is hushed at that moment. It’s a great Mystery why God has hidden these apparitions from some people of good faith, whilst others truly believe in them.
The Pope has now recognised Medjugorje as a shrine and official pilgrimages are now allowed.
It’s better not to condemn, even Our Lord said judge not that you be not judged, and to the pagan soldier even in Israel He had not found such faith.
So let Us keep open hearts to the fruits of Medjugorje so clearly evident.
Holy Mother of God, Save Us.
Amen! Lord Faithful King!
🙏🏻❤️🔥🕊
“All religions equal “??!! Heresy.
I totally agree!!!!
And honestly I don't think our lady said all religions are equal...
In a message she said that all people are equal before God in heaven... That is it was important to keep the commandments of God, to those who have been given little little would be required or less, but to those who had been given more, much more would be required...
Got alone knows and pronounces judgment ☦️✝️📿🙏🥀 May the most high God be praised forever and ever... In the name of the holy Trinity... Father Son and Holy Spirit
@@Crusader33ad Dear Phillip, Brother in Christ,
Our Lady always keeps God’s Commandments. Have you been to Medjugorje? If not I would recommend you to go.
Our Lady bears testimony to Herself there and renews Our Faith in Christ.
When I mention about the pagan soldier in the Gospel’s being commended by Our Lord that he had not found such Faith in Israel, it indicates that He alone is able to judge the Gift of Faith in Our Hearts as He alone is the God Giver of such supernatural Gifts.
Our Lady and Lord Love Us all equally,, however, of course we know Our Lord and Lady recognise the Catholic Church to be the supreme Magisterial Custodian of Truth, as it’s Truly Chris’s Body and Blood we receive, Christ Himself, The Way, Truth and Life, in Us. No-one knows this better than Our Lady in Medjugorje.
Our only fear should be Our pride of unbelief, Our only Hope is Christ Himself and His Life in Us.
Every Blessing
Mark
Annamarie Grec - thank you for your kind post. However, med is a sore point for my family as a sister of mine studied it and because of the scandals there began to question the Catholic faith and eventually became a Protestant and now an anti Catholic.
I saw the video of the seer who feigned ecstasy and flinched when a journalist waved his hand before her eyes, then made up a story that Our Lady was fumbling the baby Jesus as her reason for flinching. That’s just not believable The other scandal is that the seers have made millions from this
I know God has made good come from this but I trust the church and She does not recognize this as legit. Many holy priests and of course jp2 himself give no credence to the >50,000 visions.
That’s my take.
God bless and pax Christi
You do not “perceive holiness”. Are you really serious with that? A good Catholic seriously discerns an apparition through reading its messages and comparing them to the teaching of the Church. It’s amazing to me how this priest lays out the case for why Medjuhorje is false and the response is: but,but,but…I felt holiness there and I know friends who felt warm and fuzzy. I have friends who felt warm and fuzzy after going to hooters or smoking pot. Is that proof of some supernatural holiness? It is embarrassing that supposedly devout Catholics are willing to overlook multiple heresies and literal video proof that one of the supposed visionaries faked her ecstasy. They even accept her blasphemous explanation which completely insults Mary! And you call yourselves Marian devotees?
You want warm and fuzzies? Go drink a couple glasses of wine.
"All religions are equal...". If this is the message of this Gospa, I have doubts about this apparition now... I'll stick to approved apparitions...🙏🙏🙏
When I saw one of the so-called visionaries running around the world in an Armani suit, I instantly knew it was fake.
Don’t judge.
The scripture has prophesied this:
{Matthew 24:24} For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.
Satan is willing to give a little to gain a lot. May the Holy Ghost grant us the grace of discernment and deliver us from the deception of satan. 🙏🏾
This priest has misquoted quoted the messages. Please do your own research.
"In the world, all religions are not the same because all people have not complied with the commandments of God." (10/01/81).
Consider it might in fact be Our Lady. All apparitions have a period where they are unappoved before a Church judgement. Can you imagine being one of the faithful that condemned Fatima before it received its approval?
Great thanks to this brave priest in speaking the truth in detail about the Medj disturbance. Whenever anyone speaks out against Medj, the vitriol from its followers and promoters overwhelms. Thank you to Sensum Fidelium!!
May all hearts be open to the truth, love truth, and recognize truth when they hear it.
Those that hate truth won’t even listen to it or seek it out.
We must love and obey the authority of the church and ignore our personal private interpretation of anything today.
It's turned into the cult of Medjugorje now. The people who ardently believe that the Virgin Mary is appearing there refuse to look at all of the evidence that proves it's a hoax.
The Vatican has approved the first seven apparitions. Did you know that? Did you know that the Vatican allows priests to take pilgrims to Medjugorje? Did you know that there has not been and will not be an official ruling for years and years? So Yes! Let's obey the authority of the Church. Not one priests "opinion".
@@tracyann484 did you know that Vicka likes to tell tales while in "ecstasy" and say that the only reason she flinched was because "Mary" was about to drop the baby Jesus! 🤣🤣 they're scammers and so many people have fallen for it. Fatima, Akita, Lourdes, Guadalupe etc all church approved and totally believable. Medjugorje is a scam.
@@tracyann484 This video is NOT a "priest's opinion" as you so conveniently and deviously call it. All this Priest does is REPORT AND INFORM the very words, actions and messages of the alleged "Virgin of Medjugorje" itself, which go unnoticed by naive, sentimental Catholics in the midst of the enormous, ridiculous barrage of messages that this apparition gives, in absolute contrast to all the approved apparitions of Mary where the REAL Holy Mother is brief and to the point, even with Juan Diego who had just a little Catholic instruction.
The false apparition itself trumps by far in a very negative, anti-Catholic way any permissions to go see the place. So, yes, we are listening very carefully to its messages and are horrified.
@@tracyann484 wrong
This channel’s a Holy apostolate with THE greatest fidelity to Our Faith and its Doctrine! I’m soo thankful to you for this video! I’ve always known by all the same reasons you’ve expressed, that Medjugorje is DEMONIC! and lately I’ve been shocked to see several priests including good exorcists somehow supporting this idol and its supposed “good fruits”. There’s a particular priest, called Fr. Ianuzzi who claims to have a number of “theology diplomas”, who’s prolific support for heresy, aliens thus not surprisingly, vehemently advocacy for Medjugorje, has been making the rounds on several otherwise orthodox Catholic channels. Even more worrisome’s to read the majority of comments praising Ianuzzi and this demonic cult to Medjugorje! I will repost a link to this video in such channels and keep praying for the repentance and conversion of Ianuzzi who’s making so many people fall for this idol. In Corde Iesu et Mariae✝️
Catholics who are ignorant of the teachings of our faith and sacred tradition will often be drawn to Pious devotions and apparitions as a substitute.
The ignorant are easily manipulated.
Going to Beauraing in Belgium (fully approved apparition) in two weeks, where Our Lady appeared and her feet were covered. The same in Fatima.
Medjugorje is such a peaceful place with holy fruits which cannot be denied. There is no validity to any of the objections when you take each in term, do not listen to hearsay.
There is a reason why the people who go frequently to Medjugorje pray the rosary and attend mass daily, fast, read scripture and confess regularly. Ubertrads are missing some of the greatest graces of our time with their block-headedness.
God Bless you all, and private revelation is not essential for salvation, but I know how deeply Medjugorje has helped me grow closer to Our Lord through Our Blessed Lady. The last time I went, St Charbel began to intercede for me in a powerful way. I cannot recommend visiting this holy place enough.
Medjugorje even if true, is private revelation. No one is required to believe messages of private revelations. If you have to choose between Medjugorje or Catholic doctrine, choose doctrine and you will not err. Jesus’ words in Scriptures are public revelations and are therefore free from errors and lies, and hence must be believed. If in doubt, cling to God’s words. Satan wants Catholic faithful divided. Love, don’t hate. Be humble, be not proud. Pray that we will not be subject to the trial.
As a reminder: greatest evil is for good men to do nothing. Also, not enough to just protect justice but not DEFEND the truth!! In other words, it isn't enough to just NOT choose the heretical, Jedj...must speak out against it in order to correct those lost souls who are being taken in!!!
Medjugorje is not true at all it's demonic
@Hold Fast How 🤔 stop believing this cult the church clearly condemned this garbage stop it
@Hold Fast ....thats lies
@Hold Fast Sorry the church never approved medjugorje and they never will . Why are you blatantly lying . You are seriously under the deception of the devil . You know what you should be looking at Fatima Lourdes our Lady of Lasallet . Apperations approved by the church not this garbage
Listening to a comment by Father Malachi Martin about the demonic apparition at Medjugorje, he said that the Irish have a tradition that the Devil can change everything about his appearance but his feet, his hooves, he cannot change his hooves. This is why these "visionaries" say her feet are not seen. They were seen at Fatima and Lourdes. Maybe one of my fellow Catholics that know more about Medjugorje can answer this question: Didn't this demon actually appear as a demon for a fraction of a second, then disappeared, then reappeared as Our Lady and said "Sorry".??? Is this true?
Yeah, isn't there an irish saint that was seeing an apparition of Mary but noticed it was fake by the hooves? I can't remember the name.
I've heard that story repeated by credible people. I believe it's true
None of what this priest said is accurate. It's hear say and rumors that he relies on as substantial facts.
@@xtraordinairartist9469 Really so why don't you try to prove him wrong. Ooohhh wait you can't Because that cult of medjugorje is demonic
@@ragejinraver The Vatican doesn't think so.
The Vatican has approved of the Medjugorje apparitions for the first several years as being supernatural in nature.
It allows Parrish pilgrimages to travel to Medjugorje.
JP2 believed in the apparitions and visionaries there.
Our current pope has sent an papal envoy to continually study it.
Cardinal Sara celebrated youth day there last summer.
Is this your definition. Of a cult?
You'd do better to investigate the matter yourself than listen to 20 year old rumors on a RUclips channel.
My mother has been sucked into the this false apparition.... sure you get a bunch of people together praying the rosary(which Mary gave us a LONG time ago) some good, will come of it, but everything else is junk! My mother has been like 14 times.. when she comes home bad comes with her! She took a granddaughter with her who saw a possessed person on cross hill, that granddaughter jumped up and over my mother un-naturally. Now that they are home that granddaughter suffers as a “skitzo”, sees dark figures, hears voices. Another time she hosted a woman who came from there, supposedly was very holy... came to the states, went crazy, caused my mother a lot of grief... I agree with this priest!!!!!!
We have Fatima, Our lady of Good Success and so many other approved.... this one is a cunning scam by the devil!!!
Isn't it ironic that so many flock to apparition sites seeking the supernatural, yet there is little to no wonder and awe for the word made flesh and food in the Holy Eucharist. The same ones that kneel on Mt. Podbrdo for the Gospa don't kneel to receive the King of the Universe. That should tell you something right there.
I say the say things all the time.
Fr. Malachi Martin, exorcist, many years ago said satan can appear in any shape or form but the feet will never be visible because he cannot change those hooves. The interview with Fr. Martin is on RUclips. X
I have never been to Medjugorje and I never felt called to go there. Although I did read her messages off and on over the years. I am taking the words from Father in this video seriously but I hope that those of you who have had sincere conversions through Medjugorje not lose hope or feel that it wasn’t genuine. God can use anything and of course He would have compassion on His poor children if they were being deceived. And Mother Mary would also. May the truth be made known once and for all by Holy Mother Church.
It must also be said that although the Church hasn't approved it, after 40 years or so it hasn't condemned it either, and has approved it as a place pilgrimage. So what has been said there up until now, doesn't contradict the faith and the dogmatic teaching of the Church.

@@ashpod9096 I believe you aren’t informed on the current status of the Medjugorje’s situation. I’ll explain it to you while also prompting you in good Christian spirit to apologize to me for calling me a troll, and also suggest to you to do better research before writing/saying ignorant statements.
On 2010 Pope Benedict designated a commission chaired by Cardinal Camillo Ruini to determine the nature on Medjugorje’s apparitions and moved the authority for the final decision (approval or condemnation) to be taken at the Vatican and not the parish diocesan Bishop. Since a final decision hasn’t been made until today, the current position of the Church as of today is following:
Official position of the Church:
Until such time as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith releases its findings, the 1991 determination of the Yugoslav Bishops Conference of non constat de supernaturalitate ("It is undetermined at this time if it is of supernatural origin") still stands, and the Holy See considers this judgment still operative.
Traditionally, there have been one of three determinations with regard to apparitions:
1. Constat de supernaturalitate (Determined to be supernatural) (approved)
2. Non constat de supernaturalitate (Not determined to be supernatural) (Neither approved or condemned - not determined - neutral)
3. Constat de non supernaturalitate (Determined not to be supernatural) (condemned)
Until such time as the Holy See commission's findings are revealed and approved by the pope, the "not determined" ruling remains in effect.
A commission on Medjugorje established in 2010 by Pope Benedict XVI and chaired by Cardinal Camillo Ruini reportedly voted 13-1 to confirm the supernatural origin of the first seven occurrences of the apparition only. In addition, Commission members also voted to recommend lifting the Holy See ban on official diocesan and parish pilgrimages to Medjugorje and for turning the town's parish Church of St. James into a pontifical shrine under Holy See oversight.
The move, the commission indicated, would not signify recognition of the apparitions, but would acknowledge the faith and pastoral needs of the pilgrims while ensuring a proper accounting of donations. However, Pope Francis also mentioned that The Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, which reviewed the Ruini report and other material to which it was privy, expressed doubts about both the phenomenon and the Ruini report. The final decision will be made by the Pope after Polish Archbishop Henryk Hoser has completed his examination of the pastoral situation in Medjugorje.
Authorization of Pilgrimage Made Official
According to Massimiliano Menichetti from Vatican News, on May 12, 2019, Pope Francis authorized pilgrimages to Medjugorje considering the "considerable flow of people who go to Medjugorje and the abundant fruits of grace that have sprung from it." These pilgrimages can now be officially organized by dioceses and parishes even though the authentication of these visions has not been granted. The first sanctioned pilgrimage then took place for five days from August 2-6, 2019. During the pilgrimage, approximately 60,000 young Catholics from 97 different countries took part in the celebration of a youth festival. Fourteen archbishops and bishops and about 700 Catholic priests joined the festivities as well.
Gian Franco Svidercoschi, who co-wrote the book "Gift and Mystery" with Pope John Paul II, and others, suggests that the Church has drawn a distinction between the "apparitions" and Medjugorje as a place of prayer. The general position seems to be that the spiritual fruits are undeniable
May God bless this priest, and may God bless all holy priests who help us to love the truth and hate the lie. Amen.
I never heard of our lady as saying any of there things the priest mentioned. There have been many people brought to Jesus , confession ? It’s just difficult to understand. I would need the specifics?

@@cindyjohnson6266 Read the books by Donal Foley or the one by E. Michael Jones. I also bought an “approved by the seers” book of “messages” and it was vague Hallmark-card-style platitudes none of which even made sense. Hundreds of pages that sound as solid as a Joe Biden speech. Utter garbage, run on sentences, non-sequiturs, and contradictions. I’m guessing few people try to read them and instead rely on the word of mouth. It’s very popular with the charismatic crowd because they rely on the heresy of Emotionalism.
@@rosezingleman5007 E. Michael Jones pushes his own peculiar conspiracy theories, often involving "the Jews," and thus is not very objective.
And your attack on charismatics is quite telling. Why do you constantly accuse others of heresy? Did you know that Our Lady was present at Pentecost and spoke in tongues along with the other disciples of Christ? Is she a heretic now too? I'm asking because in your accusation of heresy you didn't make any distinction, you just said "the charismatic crowd," which of course includes Our Lady.
Pray for discernment as this priest in fact is not telling the truth himself. Ive been to Medjugorje and she is the Queen of Peace. She asks us to say 3 rosaries a day and to fast on Wed and Friday and to go to confession once a month - this would not come from the devil. Please do a little more research on good sites.

Thank you, Father! I’ve been suspicious ever since I visited about 8 years ago. So much commercialism, the expensive private chapel of the seer, and his noticing as I looked up during the “apparition” all made me suspect, but this talk has absolutely convinced me that it’s a sad hoax. I’m going to bury the statue I got there and get one of Our Lady of Lourdes.
He’s wrong. Ugh.
Mary NEVER said in Medjugorje that all religions are the same. Never. She said “all
People are equal before God”. She specifically stated that all religions are not the same; every statement she makes is about the Catholic faith. The entire village is Catholic. Good grief.

Fatima had 6 Apparitions in total while Medjugorje has 13,000 and counting..... and the majority of the messages given are repetitions of previous messages. Makes you wonder....
I thank the good priest for making it ABUNDANTLY CLEAR that this garbage is A FRAUD.
The messages coming from Medjugorje have been consistent from the beginning: An emphasis on daily prayer (especially the Rosary) in atonement for the sins of the world, confession, and a life that revolves around the Mass and the Most Holy Eucharist. Doesn't rely sound all that demonic to me.
There have been some weird messages, too. I wasn't even fully converted back to the Faith when I read some of the latest messages around 2010. Yet even I recognized that bits of the daily messages were more bizarre than the claims in the mailings I was receiving from the Prosperity Gospel charlatans. They were certainly not Catholic. I might have left the Faith for a long time, but I still had the ability to recognize authentic Catholic teaching.
@@kimfleury Are you familiar with seer John Leary? He went to Medjugorje many years ago and has himself been receiving daily visions and messages from Christ and the Blessed Mother. If what is occurring in Medjugorje is false, then his messages must be false as well.

How can such a "demonic" place have such fruits like being a rich source of zealous priests, helping feed the poor, caring for orphans, drug rehabilitation centers? Why would the devil implore people to pray the Rosary? To live a life aligned with the teachings of the Church? Judge a tree by its fruits not what you hear online.

@@bweatherman3345 Please cite one instance of disobedience. And back it up with a quote. You can't find one, because there's no disobedience.
Father, I hope you one day speak out about Fr. Michel Rodrigue. There are Catholics who are acting like Protestants waiting for the rapture. People are hoarding, they're choosing to be sedevacantists. I don't say things are going well in the world or the Church. But we must trust and pray for our priests and bishops and put our faith in Christ and stick it out.
I know what you're talking about. There's a Facebook page Countdown to the Kingdom, I'm banned from it, but yeah... the multiple apparitions not approved, and people freaking out over it. I tried listening to Fr. Rodrigue, I just couldn't. The energy felt more like a seminar or stand-up club.
Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
You're right, there's a lot of noise out there. But discern carefully - not everything should be dismissed. The priest speaking in this video IS a member of SSPX I believe or at least a Trad as is the case of Fr. Ripperger (who is behind this channel). I'll try to find his name...
@@KenPaulsenArchitect It sounded like Fr. Ripperger, who's FSSP. And there's nothing wrong with being traditional.

I just knew the previous upload would be deleted due to intolerant people getting angry. Steve is not the one giving the sermon, guys.
Fatima and La Salette have all the warnings and admonishing pertinent to this generation. Medjugorje is full of confusion and is embracing of Vatican 11. The road to salvation is very very narrow...and millions of sight seers flocking to Medjugorje is not a narrow road in my humble opinion..
"And you shall know the truth: and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32)
I'm shocked by the comments below. Why are you shooting the messenger? Isn't it possible that what he's saying is true? We know God can create good from evil. Isn't it possible that these visions are demonic and the "visionaries" are either liars or truly deceived, but that true conversions still could take place? I've had my doubts about these apparitions, and I think it's very telling that the very bishops have said these are not true Marian apparitions. If anything, wouldn't these bishops WANT the notoriety? What on earth would their incentive be to deny them?
If Father is accurately describing some of the things the apparition has supposedly said and done then it’s pretty clear that what he’s saying about it is true.
Further discussion on the matter is not needed.
The Medjugorie hoax followers are completely brainwashed and usually aggressive towards anyone who is exposing the lies and deceit going on there.
@@thomasturtle7207 He is not accurately describing it. He claims the visionaries teach indifferentism and they do not. This is not hard to check. If they were teaching a known heresy then it would be quite easy for the Church to condemn it on that basis.

Your talks has taught me so much
There's a visionary in Brazil, Pedro something. He claims to have a vision of Our Lady EVERY DAY at 6pm, ongoing for years now.There's even a transmission live on RUclips.
Never believed in this thing of daily apparitions, and for years.
A good friend of mine sent me this video. My grandmother would chase any apparitions (not approved), so called seers, etc. I guess she was trying to fill a void. I never liked Medjugorje nor Garabandal. By their fruits you will know them and by that I mean this. If you question someone who follows these non-approved apparitions, they will turn on you like a pack of wolves. Right now we see someone named Glenn Hudson making the Catholic media rounds re: Garabandal. Despite that the Bishops held, and still hold, that there is nothing supernatural there, he keeps pushing the messages and preys on a fearful populace. People really and truly need to discern everything carefully.
I was reading the series of message of our lady of medjugorje and what really alarmed me is when she said YOU ARE MINE. That really sent Red Flags over me because although she's our heavenly mother and a powerful intercessor to our Lord, we can't be hers because we are only for God.
If she said that, it makes me think of what Archbishop Fulton Sheen said, and that is, at the end of your life, you will hear, "You are Mine." And that'll be either Our Lord or satan who says that.
How wrong you are. She has more power than all the saints combined. She was born human and only human to ever been given such power. She is the mother of us humans and therefore we are hers
@@jojo212 your comment..... just scared me so much
We are hers, hers to bring to Jesus, her SON and SAVIOR of the human race. What is said here about “Mary” is scary… and the price of their houser is disgusting as where:from whom did they get that money. Suspicious and well hidden…evil?😢
Pope Saint John Paul II's personal motto was "totus tuum", in English that's "totally yours", in reference to our Blessed Mother. We are her children.
I have been to Medjugorje, I seen people of all ages going to Mass , confession and holy hour, praying the rosary and fasting . I can't see how this can be a bad thing
In and of itself, it is not. However, what are the doctrines they are being taught? The errors in their beliefs? Believing in a false version of the One True Faith, however devoutly, is still false. That is one of the saddest things about Medjugorje. It pulls the faithful away from the true faith into error and from there, spiral down into hell.
Molly the people aren't bad they are praying fasting etc it's the seers that are very doubtful to say the least.
The people I've known to go come back and are excited, reengage with faithful activities and then their lives start to fall apart. Sickness, lost jobs, family members estranged all kinds of overwhelming problems.
I have been to Medjugorie in August 2011. I was in my 5th year of seminary. It was a very holy time for me: prayer, confession, Mass, rosaries, cross mountain, a sign of the cross in the sky formed, etc. However, the messages published by the visionaries are suspect. I had a very holy cousin who went, and she is virtually a Catholic/Protestant now because of her husband, and believes that everyone who “loves” will be saved… even without the sacraments of the Church. This is only because the visionaries are saying that Our Lady is saying this. This. Is. HERESY. Our Loving Mother would never teach Heresy. “Narrow is the road to Heaven, and few people take it.” - Jesus Christ
I've been to a Jehovah's witnesses gathering, I've seen how multitudes of people became good and God fearing and started helping each other, and I've also been to a Pentecostal meeting and all people there were praising God and renounced sin.....I can go on and on..that's how a skilful scammer works ( Satan for example 😉) he'll tell you many truths to make you trust him and eventually leads you to perdition. That's how poison works ,it's wrapped in sugar.
The visionaries are all millionaires that alone should tell you the truth
yes, few know that. Very easy to research.
I did not know, please inform us. That is sad 😢
Did you know that st Joachim and st Anne were very rich as well, just like st Abraham. But all of them lives a poor lifestyle.
The supposed visionaries fast intensively and do not live a luxurious lifestyle.
Who else can afford to travel, duh? Like working people get to jet set around the world in search of God. Average people have to seek God in service to our families and our fellow man.
"She's STAINED!" 8:15 Most powerful words in the whole video! I have never heard this fine priest angry.
Imagine being there in person.
whoa - pray Fluffy as this priest obviously has not been to Medjugorje. Many untruths he speaks. Our Lady Queen of Peace asks us to pray 3 rosaries, go to mass often, confessions once a month and fast on wednesday and friday. something that the devil certainly wouldnt be requesting.
That’s one of the points that opened my spiritual eyes.
What is the name of this priest
@Rachel James She allowed it to happen to show them they were in sin. The pilgrims then went to the church for confession. I was at the spot where this happened. Not many people are aware of this place in Medjugorje.
Medjugorje STANS come after any exorcist or Bishop or priest who cautions them that it is a false apparition.
Thank you, Father, for speaking out in plain language that which many lack the courage to say. May God bless you, and Our Lady protect !
Amen amen
He's lying. He's falsely claiming that the Blessed Mother has been teaching indifferentism for forty years. That's utterly absurd and satanically evil. Scripture promises a one way trip into the lake of fire for all liars.
@MillionthUsername can you please go to one of the numerous Medjugorie diabolical hoax RUclips sites and stop trolling here? We get it , you're completely brainwashed by the charlatans in Medjugorie much like a Jehovah's witnesses or pentecostal so go to your fellows medjugoogoos and be happy 😊
"The problem is, the lie for you is sweeter than the truth."
Calumny is a grave sin.
@@tarasbulba77 "you're completely brainwashed"
Explain how I'm 'brainwashed' like Jehovah's witnesses.
So thankful for Sensus Fidelium and it's credibility. What then happens if one has done Novenas or prayed with good intentions with Medjagorie? I ask this because during the Novena for Peace, I had many nightmares. A crow was banging on my window trying to cause harm. It could have been coincidence. However, it did not subside until I stopped the Novena early after hearing this and started praying to Our Mother of Sorrows.
Thank you Fr. for showing all of us this Medjugorje fraud. I went on the Internet and all the statues of our lady, as you pointed out, her feet are covered.
For me, the conversions and vocations that arose from Medjugorge are more than enough grace to speak for itself. ( See the testimony of Fr. Calloway and his conversion) Of course where the Holy Mother is, the devil would be near trying to pervert and deceive. But in the end her Immaculate Heart will triumph and crush his head under her feet. Ave Maria!
I remember reading that the message said that people of all faiths were equal before God, not about the faith itself but the people. I think there’s a lot of confusion and inaccurate information out there. There are also several exorcists at least that I’ve heard of, who have been in favor of Medjugorje like Fr. Gabriel Amorth or Fr. Reehil who had his conversion there.
also one of the early messages was this "July 17, 1986 "Dear children! Today I am calling you to reflect upon why I am with you this long. I am the Mediatrix between you and God." There are other messages where she refers to herself as mediatrix as well. I think there's just so much inaccurate information out there. If a good Dominican priest like Fr. Gregory Pine believes the apparitions in Medjugorje are authentic (he said this recently in an interview with Matt Fradd) the information here in this talk cannot be all true
Whoaaa, great info and update, thank u Fr🙏❣️
Could you do a video on Garabandal?
garabandal is another demonic hoax. They are both modernists propaganda!
No one is obsessed with medjugorje it is the land of Our lady where her feet have touched and she is saving souls through the sacrifices of priests and nuns and laity
He is defending the true doctrine of Mary and pointing out the errors that are happening. It doesn’t matter how many millions have been there or not.
How about thinking about it yourself and make your own mind up. He he jumped of a cliff would you follow? Be curious 🙂
@@darrencahill5069 I have. But thanks for reading and replying. May God be with you and Our Lady watch over you too.
@Darren Cahill on the other hand you follow shameless charlatans masquerading as seers that were exposed numerous times as liars and religious crooks...talking about using judgment 🙂
It's all about the endgame. Satan is creating massive confusion by encouraging and inspiring "good fruits" so he can gain followers of his deceptions.
Father Gabriel Amorth the Vatican exorcist was a very big defender of Medjugorje, saint John Paul 2 also said many good things about Medjugorje, those were people with very good discernement, Why do so many people ignore the Ruini commission which is very positive that at least the first 7 apparitions there are real? This commission was started by pope Benedict and did an huge study on Medjugorje
Antipope JP 2nd ? Lol of course he said good things was a heretic globalist.
The Bishop of the Diocese said it was not of God. It was his diocese, he was there first hand to govern and lead, not Amorth. The alleged visionaries responded by saying, "the bishop is bad." Fr. Vlasic was bad, too. He didn't leave the priesthood to father the child he sired with a nun, he was kicked out, just like he kicked out that nun he impregnated....oh, but "the fruits" you say. They never tell you that story. Doesn't the blessed mother provide graces and holiness to her priests where she appears?
@@Christian-lm6qh the Vatican removed the power from the local Bishop to rule on the apparitions, Fr. vlasic was there just for sometimes but alot of other priests like Fr.Jozo , Fr.Slavko,Fr.Danko, Fr.Marinko did an excellent job. The fruit cannot be ignored its a very important aspect, the miracle of conversion is the biggest miracle in Medjugorje
JP2 never approved of it
@@carsonianthegreat4672 you can find documents online, he said alot of positive things about Medjugorje
We need to pray more for Discernment And Guidance in these times..
You can identify true apparitions of our Lord and Mother by their speech. For no created creature speaks with the Dignity and Truth as our Lord, with the exception of our Mother. I could not believe these apparitions in Medjugorjue because of the words supposedly spoken by our Mother. Then one of the male visionaries came to speak in America, many years ago, and I went to listen to him to determine the truth of these visions. When asked if he sees our Mother every day he responded, yes. When asked if our Mother would then visit him today? He said, no. He was on vacation and She did not know where he was!!! Obviously, anyone who knows God, and therefore our Mother; knows that God, and therefore our Mother, always knows where her children are. He then said again, Our Mother will visit me today, to end his final words. The visionaries words, proved his deceit in regards to these apparitions.
Not sure if its the same male seer, but one of them can just conjure up an apparition on a plane. SMH
At last someone has clarified Medugorie. I've always wondered about those feet!
Has anyone seen any feet in the Fatima statues?
@@gloriaortiz2379 Yes, just google "Our Lady of Fatima".
Thank you for this.
Wow. The severity of spiritual deception…
Catholics are not obligated to believe in private revelations. I believe that God would be extremely happy if everyone picked up their bibles and catechisms AND participated in the sacraments frequently and worthily as they're called to do.
So true!
Does anyone knoe the name of this priest? Love his sermons.
"Jesus, Mary, I love you save souls!"
Reparation prayer saves a soul & repairs 1000 blasphemies. These people need to be saved! GOD bless!

The actual quote is this:
“Members of all faiths are equal before God. God rules over each faith just like a sovereign over his kingdom. In the world, all religions are not the same because all people have not complied with the commandments of God. They reject and disparage them.”
God rules over all religions because God rules over *everything.* He loves us regardless of our religious beliefs because we are all His children and He loves all of us. All religions however are NOT the same.
Stop spreading false information. If you want to make a point, you can make it without lying.
Medjugorje is Satan as an Angel of Light!
AVE MARIA!
As someone who has known and studied Medjugorje since 1989, I definitely heard things that were misquoted and taken out of context. I’d like to see every receipt for every claim that was made. I don’t particularly think you have the authority to condemn an apparition site that is currently not approved but also not condemned by the Church.
This is ridiculous. Conversions happen in Medjugorje. Miracles happen in Medjugorje. The Blessed Mother has and does appear in Medjugorje, I have no doubt about it. People go to Mass and pray the Rosary all day. This would not be happening if it were not of God. If it is true that it’s diabolical because her feet are hidden, then ask yourself why Our Lady of Guadalupe’s feet are hidden? I get that discernment is hard, but Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruit.”
The Holy Catholic Church is the only true church. I'm speaking of pre vatican 2. Medugorije is a false apparition, Our Lady would never put her son's church at the same level as false churches. Our Lady is the only way to Jesus.
You're wrong Urina, Medjugorie is a diabolical hoax that was exposed as such numerous times, please stop trying to deceive people.
The speaker said and I quote they could be there doing pious works but no graces can they receive because of the conditions he related.
Thanks
Has any one climbed cross mountain barefoot seen the older women and man that went through a war , opened their homes generously to pilgrims ?
Without Medjugorje, I wouldn’t be catholic.
I was a very broken cradle catholic in my teens who discovered the beauty of the gospel, the sacraments, tradition & beauty of the Church through Medjugorje.
Not once was I lead to believe that all faiths are equal. No, but that the catholic faith is the only way to the truth and salvation. That’s what I learned through Medjugorje.
I know Protestants that could make that claim. Doesn’t make Protestantism true
@@SensusFidelium doesn’t make sense
@@SensusFidelium but thank you for the acknowledgment. As long as you’ve seen another person’s testimony of the effects of grace this place has brought into another life
Without having been addicted to pornography as a child, and without having been emotionally neglected by a parent as a child, I wouldn't be Catholic all these years later.
Order can come out of the most warped of things; God sent his only Son to remedy the wrongs of Adam and Eve. The better situation, of course, would be that we never offended God in the first place.
To obtain good never justifies that which is warped. I'm glad you're Catholic, and do take your winnings and run, but please don't hold Medjugore in esteem because of where it led you. May God Bless and Mary keep you.
@@W3R3W00F you know we could probably argue back and forth, but ultimately, we know this is a private revelation that the church has not condemned. We are to use our best judgement and prayerful discernment to form our own opinions to which we are entitled. I appreciate your weigh-in, but I’m here to share my positive testimony about these apparitions as I believe them to be true. I’d encourage others to learn about them so they can experience coming to know the joy of our Catholic faith themselves. I believe Medjugorje leads people to Jesus through our Blessed Mother Mary.
Finally, so glad to hear the truth being told on this.
BY THEIR FRUITS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM!
The countless conversions at Medjugorje speak for themselves. "A Bad tree cannot produce good fruit; and a kingdom divided against itself will collapse."
SATAN CANNOT PRODUCE GOOD FRUIT!!!!!
Medjugorje has been described as the Confessional of the world. ✝️🛐🙏
You are wrong, When people are gathered together, the Holy Spirit is present, but the Virgin Mary has NEVER APPEARED AT MEDJUGORGE! The Holy Rosaries of the people produce good fruit, not the machinations of the devil. Please wake up. True visionaries don't cash in and lead rich lives.
The fruits of the visionaries is suspect. They profit off their visions to the point of excess.
Good evening, Sir!
Your point is very well taken, Mr. Bastian, I most assure you.
We must at all times be cognizant of the bad trees which flourish all around us, and on that point I most heartily and enthusiastically concur.
However, I think we Catholics can all readily agree that the Freemasons, for example, are a notoriously evil organization and have been for centuries, yet they themselves do much that can best be described as being exceptionally benevolent for the most vulnerable among us (e.g., Shriner's Hospital for Children).
Please understand that I do not wish to ever dare dispute the words of Our Lord, I merely seek to point out that He also warned us of those perpetually among us who are "...wolves in sheep's clothing;" meaning, among other things, we must always be on guard against evil and clever deceptions, particularly those which may come from Satan himself.
Finally, I should like to suggest, most respectfully, that while true and genuine conversions may, of course, come from heavenly encounters; but, glory be to God, they may also come from extraordinarily gruesome, even purely evil, experiences.
Yes, the grace received is always from God (e.g., the grace of conversion), but the manner in which it is bestowed is solely by His Holy Will, no matter the method He lovingly chooses.
To Jesus through Mary; God richly bless you (and a very merry and blessed Christmas to you & yours!)...
@@plahmon And add to that: While conversions may be granted by God in this particular place (much to the devil's consternation), I'm sure the devil uses that to confuse the issue in people's minds. While I'm very happy over the conversion of souls there, I'm also curious to know, in the end, how many of those conversions will have been of the kind that resemble the seeds that fell on stony ground, which initially sprang up, then withered away because they had no root. I certainly pray that's not the case. But any conversions based solely on emotion or "feelings" will...not....last.
Therefore, to my mind, this kind of fruit that people speak of regarding Medugorje is yet to be determined.
@@ADVENT_MarkPtak Excellent points, Sir; I applaud your insightful wisdom!
Amen father!!! Preach it. Too many souls believe in this nonsense. Thank you!
too many souls have been there over 25 years now and we are asked by Our Lady Queen of Peace to pray 3 rosaries a day, frequent mass, confession monthly, fasting wednesday and fridays, that doesn't seem diabolical.
Thank you Father for clarifying the medijorge cult. I always instinctively felt that the constant messages coming out of that place didn’t ring true. However in recent times friends of mine who are devoted, almost obsessed with these ‘apparitions’ almost persuaded me that they were genuine. Having listened to this podcast however has cemented my conviction that it is indeed diabolical.
People who are deceived by Medugorije need to pray....."Lord that I may see!" Thank God, that you saw the truth by the grace of God!
It is good to be careful and even disbelieve, because if this is a real apparition, this disbelief will only help people develop discernment and that will actually help get the Medjugorje apparitions approved. But I would like to say that I just ran over and checked my image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and her feet are also completely covered.
But that image is different. It appeared on Juan Diego’s tilma . It was not a vision of Mary, per se.
@@dgathome4345 Good point. I also was looking at the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and there is a fold in her dress near the bottom that looks like it could be a foot sticking out from beneath her dress...or it could just be a fold in the cloth, I can't tell. Anyways, I would recommend reading 'My Heart Will Triumph' by Mirjana Soldo, which is a book written about Medjugorje by one of the seers. The way she writes seems very sincere. Thank you for disagreeing with me in such a kind way.😀❤😀
I too am a friend of Tradition, I pray for the Unity of All Christians. I know there are many people who have been converted through Medjugorie, and there are continuous miracles that occur there.
I pray many catholics do their research on Medjugorie and look into the lives of the seers. Maybe this is a Fatima event, where many have doubted and denounced the visions, when indeed the visions were real. Remember we must test all the prophets as Holy Scripture says.
May you all be Blessed, and may we begin to worship the Lord "In Spirit and in Truth". May All Schisms in the Body of Christ be healed in Jesus name, and may the hierarchy in the church be Illumined and grow closer to the Sacred Heart of Our Saviour.
Soon the Warning is coming for us all, and the great conversion of souls is upon us. May you all live in love of neighbor and above all Love of God Almighty.
May the Most Holy Mother of God save us and keep us safe under her mantle. Amen. Amen.
When is the warning please? This situation is horrible, I can't stand it!!!!
@@abortion_worst_CRIME_inHISTORY The Warning is just another hoax.
I believe the Apparitions are real. I've experienced the supernatural while there & my faith has increased immensely.
Heaven help us all. 🙏
Be CAREFUL regarding Medjugorje..... Despite the countless conversions, something could be terribly wrong over there...... It is not up to me to judge anything or anyone, but please keep in mind that during the so called "endtimes" evil wil take any form possible to deceive the faithful as well as the non-believers desperately seeking for the truth.... Beware of false prophets........ as mentioned in the Bible, by Christ Himself! 🙏💒🇳🇱
Satan is willing to give a little and to gain a lot. The Bible says, the devil can appear as an angel of light so he can deceive the gullible.
just got back from Medugorje.
I saw people flocking to Mass, Adoration and the Rosary, fasting and doing penance. I personally saw the Holy Eucharist shining like the ☀️.
