We do not state that lightly as we have had too many positive experiences regarding the messages of Medjugorje and have had personal encounters that bespeak of its Truth.
But our Queen, as the Mother of Mercy, has been giving the world the milk of love it has desperately needed in Her 30 years of calling. A calling which has pleaded with the world to get back to prayer, back to faith in God, back to Her Son.
In the Warning, there is meat and plenty of it. Most people, it seems, cannot stomach it. It is too much for them.
And what has the Lord said regarding this?
"Oh how it saddens me to see how closed the minds are of those Sacred Servants who profess to communicate My word, My teachings, to the world. They break My heart so hardened have their own hearts become.
"My teachings espouse the fact that divine revelations do take place and have taken place since the beginning of time. Did they think that My Mother or I would not communicate to My children over the centuries? They are happy to pay attention to the word of saints gone by, long after their messages were given to the world. But not so today. The difference during this time is that no time will be afforded to them to enable them to digest these messages after the event. Because time will be no more as you know it."
How true.
One priest we know warns against the Warning but is a devoted follower of Medjugorje.
Fine. But how does that work? How is that he can believe, yet ignore the fact that not one but two local bishops have spoken against Medjugorje? So despite the "rules," he picks one from Column A: "I like the messages of Medjugorje, but Column B, the Warning, disturbs me."
How is that our current priests and bishops then have ignored the messages given to Mother Eugenia when, after a 10-year investigation, the local bishop and two prominent theologians who are priests, as well as a close associate of St. Pio, have all stated the messages are worthy of our belief. What has the Church officially done with them 70, 80 years later?
How did the priest react to St. Bernadette?
What did the Church originally do with St. Faustina's writings?
How was her confessor treated?
Who persecuted Padre Pio?
Yes, the list goes on. The point is, when it comes to revelation, the Church can be its own worst enemy until the dust clears and many of the persecutors are dead. We always love reading about the Saints who were persecuted by this bishop or that priest and what always strikes us is we do not know their names, but the persecuted one now has a feast day!
It is the same now with The Warning.
But with a vast difference as the Lord has stated.
The Church will not have the luxury of time.
Therefore, we, as believers, must be astute and pay attention.
We cannot wait for the most popular Catholic websites to begin discussing the merits or criticisms they may have regarding these messages.
We cannot wait for our local bishop or priest to get on board.
We cannot wait for theologians to pour over the messages and then stamp an "imprimatur" on them. After all, what did they do to Father Gobbi despite these very actions?
No.
The only way we can discern these messages is with God guiding our hearts and minds.
As we watch, at the same time, the news and events within the Church.
And they are running on parallel lines.
Lines that say Jesus is about to intervene.
Intervene as He told St. Faustina; as He told Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, and others.
The fact is that no one, including us, is really ready, least of all His Church.
"Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will He find, do you think, faith on the Earth?"
Luke 18:8
And therein, lies the Warning.
For when He does intervene then "every eye shall see Him, and they also that pierced Him. And all the tribes of the Earth shall bewail themselves because of Him."
Apocalypse 1:7
That is the difference. The difference between World Wars I and II and now.
For in this World War, which we are now in the midst of, Israel, whose very existence is threatened, will bewail itself because of Him; the One whom they have pierced.
And He, in His Mercy, will save them, as well as all of us.
Events are moving quickly now and may soon overtake us all. It only takes one more spark.
Let us, then, be vigilant, awake and prepared with enough lamp oil to meet our King.
In this, we cry, Jesus, i not only trust in You, i await You!
