[day]

Love the Blessed Mother! Never, ever let go of her guiding hand that will lead us to Jesus. Pray the Rosary daily for her intentions. Love her!

[lloydpatrick]

Praise the Lord God our Father. Lord show us your mercy and heal our ailments. Protect us against Corona Virus Pandemic. For our family and near and dear ones. For our spiritual and temporal wants. Our Lady of Medjugorje pray for us. St Andrew Kim Taegon and St Paul Chong Hasang and Companions pray for us

So does this mean EWTN will be opening up the vault and selling episodes of “Mother Angelica Live” where she talked about Medjugorje again?

However, from Vatican YouTube channel today it tells a different story - "KEYS: The Vatican's concerns regarding Medjugorje"
Also, the image of Our lady of all nations at 1:45 has been condemned by Vatican. Quote "..not recognized as stemming from a supernatural origin."

It's been 43 years. Time enough to make a decision.

Gee, never realized that Mary would be discussing soccer scores. I'm afraid this declaration is just another bit of confusion coming out of the Vatican these days.

The "highest" level of approval would be to say the apparition are "real"!!!..Which they have NOT SAID!!!

[femaleKCRoyalsFan]

false apparition! especially if it’s the one where a seer claimed that Mary almost dropped the baby Jesus!

What Does Medjugorje Say? Its message proves that it is also a false apparition

"The Madonna always stresses that there is but one God and that people have enforced unnatural separation. One cannot truly believe, be a true Christian, if he does not respect other religions as well."1 – "Seer" Ivanka Ivankovic

"The Madonna said that religions are separated in the earth, but the people of all religions are accepted by her Son."2 – "Seer" Ivanka Ivankovic

Question: "Is the Blessed Mother calling all people to be Catholic?"

Answer: "No. The Blessed Mother says all religions are dear to her and her Son."3 – "Seer" Vicka Ivankovic

This is total apostasy in the Message of Medjugorje. It is a rejection of Catholic dogma; it is a rejection of the dogma Outside the Catholic Church There is No Salvation; and it is a total rejection of the clear teaching of the Gospel on the necessity of believing in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, for salvation. This proves that Medjugorje, like the rest of the false modern apparitions, is a deception of the Devil. Those who are aware of these facts and refuse to reject it as a false apparition are rejecting the Catholic Faith.
