Please pray and discern the following Message and Reflections.
There are heaviness and shockwaves happening in the minds and hearts of almost the whole world. Yet sadly, we cannot understand that our sinfulness is the cause of what is taking place. Remember, Our Lady has warned us for centuries and we refuse to listen. A few consequences of years of corrupt choices and defiant actions: the conflict in the Middle East, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the pro-evil support for criminal nations, the godless demonstrations in the United States, Europe and other countries who support and embrace evil---these immoral decisions will bring chastisements of nature, pestilence, plague, famine and might lead to the third world war
What should our response be to the battles raging in our lives as well as the mayhem raging in the world? Which one of us is not experiencing distress, suffering, hardships, difficulties of every kind as we simultaneously watch the worldwide dramas unfolding with scenes of death, chaos, pain and indescribable sorrow? We cry out for relief from ----Jesus. I trust in You! Blessed Mary, hide my family under your mantle of love and protection!
The choice is so clear:
Prayer, Fasting, and a Life of Holiness
is the key to obtain peace and salvation for our souls.
Our Lady repeatedly asks us to defeat Satan through prayer, fasting, and a life centered on Jesus. She emphasizes the importance of prayer with the heart, which is to pray with love, trust, abandonment, and concentration. Prayer is considered the center of Our Lady's plan and is the most frequent message in Medjugorje.
“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness but rather expose them.”
Ephesians 5:11
"Therefore, to him that knows to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."
James 4:17
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. For in all things, it befitted him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 2:14-17
Put on the full armor of God, so that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
Ephesians 6:11
Our Lady of Medjugorje
“Satan is strong and wants to turn all of you against God, and to return you to everything that is human, and to destroy in the heart all feelings towards God and the things of God.” (January 25, 2017)
"Without unceasing prayer, you cannot experience the beauty and greatness of the grace which God is offering you." (February 25, 1989)
"Today I am calling you to pray. You know, dear children, that God grants special graces in prayer... I call you, dear children, to pray with the heart." (April 25, 1987)
"May prayer reign in the whole world." (August 25, 1989)
"Without unceasing prayer, you cannot experience the beauty and greatness of the grace which God is offering you." (February 25, 1989)
Lucifer can only be defeated through prayer, and Peace will be given to us by Almighty God in our sincerity and love of Him. The Medjugorje messages of Our Lady at Medjugorje point up to the importance of prayer and the presence of God in our lives. Our Lady of Medjugorje encourages us to pray with the heart, abandon ourselves to God, and not allow Satan to seduce us. Our Lady provides us with a path to peace and salvation through prayer, and she asks us to dedicate our prayers to those under Satan's influence. The messages also highlight the power of prayer to defeat Satan's power and obtain peace and salvation for our souls.
God the Father
to John Martinez
My son. I am saddened, disappointed and hurt at the response from my creation. I am being mocked as my Holy Name and Church are being desecrated. My people have left me out of their lives and have embraced Lucifer with his lies and deception. Satan has taken a stronghold of humanity. Evil is trying to replace me with its hatred of My Love and Mercy. My Divine Mercy is at its end. My Justice shall prevail. Whenever my children of any nation turn to evil, the specific result is moral and spiritual chaos. Instead of following My Sacred Laws, my children have accepted human lust and mindless desires that lead to their sinful circumstances. Man is trying to replace Me by deciding what’s right and wrong, instead of seeking My Will and MY Law. My church is being replaced by man’s sinfulness and ambition. Yet I will not be mocked.
No one knows the time nor the date of my Divine Justice. Yet it is coming very soon. Satan’s fabricated power and vengeance is coming to an end. The spiritual wars and man’s made wars are bringing much confusion and the loss of faith to my children. The time is nearing when I will intervene. Jesus My son and your Savior will come again to establish His Kingdom of perfect justice and righteousness. Beware of false prophets, false teachers for even the elect will bring many to perdition. I warn you about those of you who follow those who fabricate predictions and erroneously forecast what I am going to do about the sinfulness of man. My Son warned you about the “Signs- Warning Signs”: My people have become lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy”
The Middle East conflict and other areas of worldwide struggles are signs. Stop judging and blaming others; each should examine their own self. Many chastisements will take place worldwide, yet it is not the end but the beginning of the eradication of sinful man. It is sad that many innocent, faithful children will suffer martyrdom. It has to be understood that I will not tolerate evil anymore and will not be mocked. My son Jesus Christ will come again, and all evil will be judged and destroyed for their extremely grave sins: violence, injustice, sexual immorality, and lack of love, peace, and kindness.
I will not destroy the earth, but I will terminate all the unholy sinful followers of Satan. I will restore the earth, My Paradise. All is being prepared for the New Holy Jerusalem to come upon the world. My creatures, birds of the air, animals and wildlife will be protected and flourish in the Paradise that awaits my children.
Our Holy Trinity has sent the Blessed Virgin Mary to warn and prepare My Faithful for the storm that is on the horizon. Listen and pray with Her. The Holy Spirit and the Blessed Virgin Mary have prepared you for the coming tribulation and the cleansing of all sin.
Come before me and seek my direction and love. Repent of all your sinfulness, seek My Holiness and Love. I will bless you with my Divine Mercy. Jesus has prepared your home in Paradise. Many of your loved ones wait for you in Heaven. Where there will be much rejoicing, joy and happiness.
I love you, my children.
Our Lady of Guadalupe
to John Martinez
These are the days that have been spoken by the prophets of old. They are now coming upon humanity. My visitation in Mexico with Juan Diego was a cry for help
from my innocent helpless children, I was sent by God to stop the genocide that was about to take place with indigenous Indians at that time. Today, I come to you in Medjugorje for the salvation of souls and to stop the genocide of millions of my children worldwide. My apparitions at Medjugorje are the fulfillment of My visitation as Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. Today, I come to bring peace and love from God to all His children who are in turmoil. These are the last days of an era for mankind.

Queen of Peace in Medjugorje Message:
“Peace, peace, peace! Be reconciled! Only peace. Make your peace with God and among yourselves. For that, it is necessary to believe, to pray fast, and to go to Confession.”
The Queen of Peace gave this message to Marija in Medjugorje at the early beginning of her visits. It is the central message in every apparition. She asks us to seek what Jesus and our Blessed Mother request of us: make peace with God and His grace and with each person in your lives, including yourselves. If we do as she requests… we will be blessed with peace and harmony in our lives despite the chaos around us. Always seek peace and forgiveness instead of conflict. Our families will change and be blessed with harmony and love and our prayers for our communities, our countries, and our broken world will have a new beginning.
If we must confront evil, it must be done with serious prayer and true love. Confronting evil should be done ONLY with clear direction from our Lord and always without malice, without hatred or an attitude of arrogance and superiority. We must do so with peace in our heart and soul.

Todd St. Romain
The Blessed Virgin Mary says in this revelation to John Martinez,
“These are the last days of an era for mankind.”
The Risen Jesus gives us a promise when He speaks to St. John in Revelations 3: 10-13, “Because you have kept my word of patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial which is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell upon the earth. I am coming soon; hold fast to what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. He who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God; never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem which comes down from my God out of Heaven, and my own new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit has to say to the churches.
This verse is addressed to the Church of Philadelphia, which is the era that we are nearing the end of. The promise of God’s protection during these coming chastisements as well as the New Jerusalem, Heaven on earth, provides us with much hope as all evil on earth must be eradicated before this new Era of Peace can begin. God hears our cry, our unceasing prayers, fasting, masses and sacrifices of the Faithful Remnant and from this tiny spring a great river filled with living water will flow.
"Holy Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen."
