Medjugorje with Mom Part 2

Located in the heart of Medjugorje is a spiritually powerful place of healing and contemplation.  The focal point is an enormous sculpture of the Risen Christ....made mostly of bronze and copper. Slovenian sculptor, Andrija Ajdič donated it to the Shrine of Medjugorje in1998 after having it blessed by Pope John Paul II. It was installed on Easter Day.   While named the Risen Christ, the intent of the sculptor was to merge the Crucified with the Risen Christ as one. It displays Jesus posed like a cross, yet he is resurrected because he is standing in triumph with his body imprint left on the ground. At close look, you can see the scripture of Psalm 138 is engraved over his loin cloth. Mysteriously, in 2002, just a few years after the statue was erected, a trickling flow of water, began seeping from the right knee of this sculpture that is very similar to a tear-like liquid. On any given day, pilgrims can be seen lining up to get close to the statue, some with handkerchiefs in their hands, wiping the “liquid” oozing from just below the right knee.

Jose was fortunate enough to have participated in the 40th anniversary in Medjugorje and shares his eye witness testimony. He has an astounding story to tell of the power of the Rosary and how it worked to deliver a woman from demonic possession! Not something you typically hear about everyday since we live in a very broken world where evil prevails. However, when encountering the holy place of Medjugorje these evil spirits don't stand a chance.   Among, other miracles, fellow pilgrims saw the miracle of the sun (see vid at the 33 minute mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wmAEOKvyJk&t=2039s) and many noticed the cross ontop of Cross Mountain DISAPPEAR for 2 hours!    To hear Jose's original interview go to Episode 8. https://youtu.be/DqbdZI7mtUs  To join Jose's Queen of Rosary Prayer Group on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/21319...

This is a follow up to my previous video, (Ep. 16) where I discussed how I was compelled to receive the Eucharist on my knees and directly on my tongue while in Medjugorje. However, at home I felt awkward and out of place.   After some deep introspection and coming across this video of a Priest (link below), I want to go on record to say, I will now be taking the Eucharist in this way from now on.    I encourage you to watch this video of the Priest I mentioned, who had a mystical experience at Mass that immediately prompted him to tell parishioners that 'from this moment in our parish, it’s only going to be possible to receive Holy Communion on the tongue and kneeling down.   https://youtu.be/YnDGZxLZebc  Just a little food for thought. ;-)

In the 2nd half of our discussion, we reminisce of our time in Medjugorje at Adoration, Cross Mountain, meeting Mirjana, Cenacolo, Latta Castle and a special surprise friend who personally escorted us around town.    Book: Poem of the Man of God (vol. 3) https://www.amazon.com/Poem-Man-God-3-Maria-Valtorta/dp/B000H4L1Z2  Patrick Latta Testimony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOSpKcttFhA  Cenacolo Recovery Center: https://arthurmc.com/cenacolo-community-medjugorje/

My personal pilgrimage to Medjugorje to visit the Blessed Mother with my Earthly Mother. Since we tend to get caught up in details, I split the show up in two segments. This first part is about the miracles we experienced while in route. We spoke about meeting Mirjana, being able to be present during Marija's daily apparition at her church, Apparition Hill and the Risen Christ Statue. Stay tuned for more.    If you have a story you would like to share, please email me at: [email protected]

Author of the Book I highly recommend, Six Months to Live, Artie shares his miraculous story how he was diagnosed with a terminal cancer at age 44 and still lives to tell about it 20+ years later.  Artie is a father to 13 children, so you can imagine his desperation to find a way to be here to help his wife take care of the family.  When he heard about Medjugorje, where healings have been known to take place, he and two of his good buddies dropped everything and ventured over where they encountered not just a physical, but a spiritual healing. Upon his return, his doctors were dumbfounded as xrays proved he was fully cured.   I hope you enjoy hearing Artie's story as much as I did. It's packed with sage advise as well as highly charged both spiritually and emotionally.    You can check out his book at:  https://www.amazon.com/Six-Months-Liv...

Judith Weible, who was married to the late Wayne Weible, the most notable and best selling author on the subject of Medjugorje, tells of her own personal conversion that took place in Medjugorje. Judith personally witnessed many miracles; from the spinning of the sun, people being slain in the spirit, to demonic spirit unrest. She tells how she first met Wayne and what he would have to say about today's current events.  Judith is currently working on on a book titled, "Mary's Boy." It is a memoir of Wayne and includes a series of locution messages he received from Our Lady.   In an effort to continue Wayne's legacy, Judith took over Weible Columns and continues to lead pilgrimages to Medjugorje as well as other apparition sites.    Subscribe to the monthly newsletter or book your next pilgrimage at:  weiblecolumns.org  PH: 877.896.6061

I’m thrilled to interview author and fellow podcaster, Cyndi Peterson from San Diego.   I was introduced to Cyndi through a couple of our mutual Medjugorje friends. And I’m so honored and humbled to be able to be able to bring her testimony on this platform.    She describes witnessing many accounts of the miracle of the sun. Staring into it for up to 20 minutes. As a physician, she knows this is physically impossible to do without going blind. On Cyndi's first trip she climbed up apparition hill in the dark. She smelled the overwhelming fragrance of roses only to find out the next day, there were no roses or any vegetation for that matter anywhere around. Another pilgrim dropped to his knees and begins speaking as though Mary is talking through him.  All this and many other miracles that had Cyndi reeling in awe to the point she couldn't take it anymore.    You can read Cyndi's full story in the book:   Waiting for a Miracle: One Mother's Journey to Unshakable Faith https://www.amazon.com/Waiting-Miracl...  Cyndi's podcast about deepening your faith is:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

Our Lady specifically chose six children, ranging in ages 10 to 17 when she first appeared in Medjugorje. With this unique grace, comes a special burden. They have been blessed with visions from God, yet these visions show them a painful future for the world. No one asked these young people if they wanted these apparitions, but they accepted them, and with it came responsibility and suffering.    Many people, including the visionaries themselves, have wondered why Our Lady chose them in particular. The visionaries once asked Our Lady she replied, “it’s not always necessary to look for the best.”   No one can deny that these 6 visionaries have given their lives in obedience with their mission to be messengers and examples of Our Lady’s messages.  Now, approaching almost 40 years later, the consistency of the good fruits is evidence in itself.    References:   1) My Heart Will Triumph, Mirjana Soldo https://www.amazon.com/Heart-Will-Tri...  2) The Visions of the Children, Janice T.

This episode on Medjugorje (or skeptics like to call it….”Mega-forgery”) is for all of those naysayers looking for hard evidence in the supernatural.  Having just celebrated the 39th anniversary of the appirations that first took place on June 25th 1981. Do you realize that NO other time in the history of apparitions have visions, of this type, lasted for such a long time, and on a daily basis? Also, the technology available today in the field of psychology and physiology have never been available during apparitions of other visionaries, such as with Bernadette in Lourdes in the 1800’s, or the three children of Fatima in 1917. Medjugorje was the first opportunity where a battery of tests using high tech equipment could be used to study every facet of the human being’s experience in the midst of an ecstatic state.    Italian neurophysiologist, Dr. Marco Margnelli, a specialist in ecstasy and altered states of consciousness, was part of the group of Italian doctors who tested the visionaries in 1985. Prior to his investigation he was an Atheist. Now, he confesses, he is now a practicing Catholic. There was not one doctor, professor, theologian, or scientist who tested the visionaries in all the 28 years of the apparitions that found anything abnormal about their behavior. There have been allegations by those who do not believe the apparitions to be true that the visionaries are hallucinating, lying, under the influence of satan, etc., but in regards to the actual tests and observations made by professionals in that area of expertise, the visionaries were found to be normal in every respect concerning their mental well-being.   After hearing of all the hard data, I think you will agree, there really isn’t much more proof we can ascertain. In fact, let me leave you with this thought….. if you were to turn the tables, and YOU were one of the visionaries, just ask yourself, what more evidence could you possibly give that would show more proof?   References:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpcbe...  https://www.medjugorje.com/medjugorje...
