It may just be that if enough people pray this Novena, that war can be mitigated. Or not... Pray, pray, pray!
France seems to be on the point of Civil War. Also Europe itself seems unstable This was all prophesied.
I think some of these times our Lady has given relate to scripture. I am currently poking around a bit. Also, if they start the rosary at 23:30, this will carry them into midnight. Midnight brings up some interesting verses.
Our Lady requested that a feast to honor her as Queen of Peace be celebrated on June 25 each year. Of course, it will take time for the Vatican to even consider her request. God's will be done! Here is a pdf copy of the nine-day novena to the Queen of Peace: https://medjugorje.org/anniversarynovena.pdf
I know that millions and millions of good, holy and wise Catholics throughout the World do not believe in Medugorje, including many, many clergy. Nor do they have to.Nor do they have to believe in any Marian apparition, approved or not approved; Medugorje of course not being approved. But for those who do believe, as I do. Well if Our Blessed Mother asks for something like nine days of prayer it's something I feel I just have to do. You know even if I didn't believe in it , nine days of prayers for World Peace would not kill me. Anyhow I will be praying along. I hope it helps somehow. Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
Thanks, Padraig. This is simple, yet sweet. Sr. Emmanuel has such a humble countenance! O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
I honestly think Sister Emmanuel is a saint. I read her book on Purgatory based on the writings of the late Austrian mystic Maria Simna and loved it. I think actually the sister met Maria in Austria. Maria said that the souls in purgatory confirmed Medugorje is genuine. There are many, many great Catholic saints in the World at the moment, bad as things are. This is very consoling. Even in our local Churches, if we keep our eyes open for them. https://sremmanuel.org/books/
I'm so excited and happy to be doing this nine day novena and very greatly looking forward in Faith to see what is going to happen and what Our Blessed Mother is going to tell us and perhaps do. It occurs to me that since she is appearing at night, when it is dark it may be related to the stars! That makes me think of upcoming astronomical events such as the coming supernova event. https://starwalk.space/en/news/t-coronae-borealis-nova-star-exploding The Blaze Star T Coronae Borealis: A Nova Set to Explode Any Night in 2024 Any moment now, a star that was hiding for decades will light up the night sky! A nova eruption is about to occur in the constellation Corona Borealis. That sounds big, and you might be expecting to see a full-sized explosion in the sky, but spoiler alert: the star in question, T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), will be just as bright as the North Star. Still, this is a fascinating event for astronomers and stargazers. Imagine: T CrB was last visible to the naked eye 80 years ago! This reminds me of the Sign from Garabandal, 'Two stars will collide!': http://www.garabandal.org/News/Garabandal_Warning_Miracle_Interviews.shtml Q. It (the Warning) is not going to hurt you? A. No. To me, it's like two stars... that crash and make a lot of noise and a lot of light but they don't fall... It's something that's not going to hurt us but we're going to see it. In that moment, we're going to see our conscience. You're going to see everything wrong that you're doing. Conchita August 1980
I must say I am very,very surprised all this is not getting much attention from the Catholic World online. At least not that I can see...there is some stuff in Spanish...
Thank you, Lord, that this young man has embraced the Catholic Faith! Dear Lady, embrace him and help keep his eyes on the Lord! St. Therese, send some roses his way!
I loved that he just comes across very joyfully! Having been blessed to visit Medjugorje just last Fall, I would say its a place that does help you find joy and peace even in your sufferings.
Surely the blessing and graces of a pilgrimage are very special, but I also treasure the following from today's evening prayer PSALM PRAYER Lord Jesus, you foretold that your disciples would be despised on account of your name, but that not a hair of their heads is ever forgotten. In times of persecution, defend and revive us by the power and comfort of the Holy Spirit, so that we can be freed from our enemies and praise your saving help.
This might tie in with Acts 2:20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. We have already had the solar eclipse, and we are going to have a blood moon later this year.
