Our Lady asked that in this Novena that we pray for peace in the world.
We have just received this message from Father Leon who is the Chaplain in Medjugorje for the English speaking people.
He said:
“Tonight, during Our Lady’s apparition to the visionary Marija, Our Lady invited us to pray the rosary from tomorrow at 10 pm on Apparition Hill at Our Lady’s statue, where there will also be an apparition every evening during the Novena to the Queen of Peace. Our Lady’s apparition will be at 11:30 p.m. Our Lady asked that in this Novena that we pray for peace in the world.
“Come, let us respond to Our Lady’s call.
“So, wherever we are in the world maybe we can unite in prayer and try to pray the rosary together for Peace as Our Lady is calling us. And wherever we are also we can pray during the apparition time and unite ourselves to the apparition. I know when we are in Medjugorje Our Lady says during the evening program when she is appearing on earth, that if we thank God for allowing her to be coming to this earth and we are really praying with the heart that we receive the same graces as if we were right there present at that apparition.
LOURDES: Alive with healing.
9 month Novena
O Virgin Mother of God, we fly to your protection and beg your intercession against the darkness and sin which ever more envelop the world and menace the Church. Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, gave you to us as our mother as He died on the Cross for our salvation. So too, in 1531, when darkness and sin beset us, He sent you, as Our Lady of Guadalupe, on Tepeyac to lead us to Him Who alone is our light and our salvation.
Through your apparitions on Tepeyac and your abiding presence with us on the miraculous mantle of your messenger, Saint Juan Diego, millions of souls converted to faith in your Divine Son. Through this novena and our consecration to you, we humbly implore your intercession for our daily conversion of life to Him and the conversion of millions more who do not yet believe in Him. In our homes and in our nation, lead us to Him Who alone wins the victory over sin and darkness in us and in the world.
Unite our hearts to your Immaculate Heart so that they may find their true and lasting home in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Ever guide us along the pilgrimage of life to our eternal home with Him. So may our hearts, one with yours, always trust in God's promise of salvation, in His never-failing mercy toward all who turn to Him with a humble and contrite heart. Through this novena and our consecration to you, O Virgin of Guadalupe, lead all souls in America and throughout the world to your Divine Son in Whose name we pray. Amen.
In these early days of the novena, carry the events of the first apparition in your hearts as you pray the following each day
January 2024 Message from Mary
Today children I implore you to open your hearts. Let the kingdom of God come forth into the world. Bring heaven to earth. Pray for your brothers and sisters that they may know the truth of who they are. The Father is asking us to return home to His love. Sadly, you have turned from Him to be a part of a fleeting world that provides nothing that lasts. Dear sweet children do not forget our Father, His love, and His life are forever, eternal, and real. Pray for wisdom and understanding to see the world as the Father does. This is especially important in this coming year.
The world is leaning towards darkness and fear, and it is affecting all God people and the earth. However, you can, we can stop this, and Love is the key. It is important to learn the love of God and to share that love with all. Christ, my beautiful son made a way for you. Follow His teachings, pray for His light to come upon you and lead you out of the darkness. Pray for the Holy Spirit to come upon your minds to reveal the light of truth to your consciousness. This is vital this coming year.
Families are suffering because the world has made God to be powerless, giving them no way to fight when they need help. They are losing hope. They are forgetting to love one another but instead they are placing love in “things.” You are not things, you are Spirits, you are not bodies and need to gain control over your bodies, your families, your lives. Turn to my Son, let Him in.
Truth has never changed, the world changed, and you children followed it into the darkness but that can be change right now. Find the truth. The truth of God, the truth of your true nature, how you were created, and you will walk boldly into the darkness as a beacon of light casting out all fear and false appearances that come towards you.
Meditate on the Father words each day, pray for those hurting to know they are eternally love and light. Because God the Father never changes, (He is the same today, tomorrow, and always) you also remain unchanged, in reality. However, you must know you are love and light in order to bring that forth. Try not to follow the Christ by sight but by the unseen. The energies of love, life, peace, and harmony are the signs to be followed. These will lead you home to your true self and bring your brothers and sisters with you.
I am here for you. I will continue to pray for your peace and revelation because I love and adore you my precious children. Seek the truth that you are the Christ, and that truth will guide your steps home.
With all my love, Your Mary
February Prayer

There is no other Power Lord only you and we are here to acknowledge this and to bring healing to all. In glory we walk, in peace we receive and in love we manifest all good. Thank you. Amen
The Forgiveness Prayer By Dr. Catherine Ponder
Books: Dynamic Laws of Healing, Prospering Power of Love
All that has offended me, I forgive.
Within and without, I forgive.
Things past, things present, things future, I forgive.
I forgive everything and everybody who possibly needs forgiveness of the past or present.
I forgive positively everyone. I am free and they are free too.
All things are cleared up between us now and forever.
Dear Father,
Only your living word, your presence, your love can dispel the condemnation and fear of this world.
It is your righteousness, truth and grace that must live my life.
Let your word come alive within me and help me to listen to your still small voice, which transforms me inwardly by a complete renewing of my mind.
Only then can I know your perfect will for me.
From Linda Johnson's book: I Have Always Loved You
It was almost midnight when St. Catherine Labouré was awakened by a soft voice, whispering, “Sister, sister, sister.” Mysterious events led her to the chapel where the Blessed Mother appeared and sat down near the altar. St. Catherine knelt at her feet, rested her hands in Mary’s lap, looked into her eyes, and had a heart-to-heart conversation with her. The Virgin Mary said to her, "God wishes to charge you with a mission. You will be contradicted, but do not fear; you will have the grace to do what is necessary. Tell your spiritual director all that passes within you. Times are evil in France and in the world". Later, St. Catherine would refer to that night as “the sweetest moment of my life.”
Months later, in November of 1830, Mary again appeared to St. Catherine at the Rue de Bac Chapel. This time, our Blessed Mother was standing on a globe, with dazzling rays of light streaming from her outstretched hands. Framing the apparition was an inscription: "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee." As Labouré watched, the frame seemed to rotate, showing a circle of twelve stars, a large letter M surmounted by a cross, and the stylized Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary underneath. Asked why some of the rays of light did not reach the earth, Mary reportedly replied, "Those are the graces for which people forget to ask." She said, "all who wear them will receive great graces, especially if they wear it around the neck. Those who repeat this prayer with devotion will be, in a special manner, under the protection of the Mother of God. Graces will be abundantly bestowed upon those who have confidence.” Mary then asked her to take these images to her confessor, telling him that they should be put on medallions.
Almost immediately, after the medal was approved and created the blessings that Mary promised showered down on those who wore her medal, and soon all of France was clamoring for what the people
referred to as the “Miraculous Medal.” Use of the Medal spread from country to country, and, at the time of St. Catherine’s death in 1876, more than a billion medals had been made.
Today, the Medal is still drawing down from God blessings for body and soul. Today The Holy Mother is asking us to where the medal, so her graces come upon us during the trials and tribulations happening in the world.

As mentioned earlier in the month that one of the visionaries from Medjugorje said that Mother Mary would have an apparition on October 13th 2023. I have been scouring the web to see where this happened, and I found it. On October 13th, this miraculous event occurred in San Francisco. An image of the Blessed Mother appeared in a monstrance containing the most Blessed Sacrament (Holy Communion). It was witnessed by the people in the church who were present in adoration of Jesus. Earlier Fr. Chris Alar the priest was giving a retreat talking about Eucharistic miracles which I believed opened the hearts of the congregation to allow this miracle to happen.
Mary is wanting us to join her as her Emissaries of the Miraculous to pray for the world and stepping up to help those in need of the love and peace of Christ. Here is a photo of the apparition.

13 October 1917 in Fatima our Lady (Mother Mary) would reveal her identity and perform a miracle "so that all may believe." October 1930 her visitation would be considered real by the church. The month of October is often noted in history as a time when significant things happen in the world. This October is also a time when some very strong prophies have been announced by churches and seers of our time. About 3 months ago Mother Mary begin to speak much more frequently to both me and my friend Linda about bringing people closer to God. We both said of course we would do this but at the time didn’t know why. As the prophies of this time have been revealed to us we now have a greater understanding of our mission, and we hope a mission that others will embark on with us.
The prophecies are talking about the time of great tribulation and how it is coming upon us. The war in Russian and Ukraine was not the start but was prophesied first in 1970’s and then again in March and July of this year and is a big factor in this time of unrest. Now we have Israel and Gaza battling. The Holy Mother has great concern and is now speaking to all who will listen to let them know that unless we stop living for the world and live for spirit, we are going to experience much more suffering.

Born of God
I pray that my children will come to know that they are born of God, they come from a holy lineage, and therefore they don’t have to take on the beliefs of genetics, heredity, and characteristics that never belonged to them.
I want my children to know that they are children of light. They do not have to come into agreement with mortality which brings illusions causing great suffering.
The resurrected life is implanted in all my children and as you turn to that you are turning to an abundant glorious life.
Each day you are being called to choose, mortality and all the mortal beliefs that go with it or will you choose resurrection, radiant eternal life? Linda Leigh Johnson
Prayer Posted September 2023
Reconciliation
Mother Mary, please help me to see my neighbor with new eyes of love and compassion.
He has been entrusted to you, given to you, for you to recognize him as God’s son. Forgive him, and let God love him through your prayers. Reconcile him back to God in your mind.
As long as you judge him you are in the same realm as the acts that you think he has done, and you are no longer sensitive to my presence or the wisdom I want to impart to you.
Join your father God in the love he has for him.
Now when I see my neighbor across the street, I feel connected to the knowledge that God has chosen this moment for me to see, with new eyes, that I might go higher and take him with me. I can have grace filled responses to life instead of reactions that pull me out of the Kingdom.

In approximately May of 2007, a Holy Icon in Hawaii began dripping myrrh and continues today to drip and bring healing to people around the world. This is not a new miracle as there are icons all over the world that bleed, drip oil and have healing powers. The most incredible incident of weeping statues happened in Akita Japan from 1975 to 1981. At that time a statue of Mother
Mary was seen weeping over 100 different times. The Holy Mother always shares a message of returning to Christ and to find out our identity as spiritual beings and to pray as often as we can to know this.
I personally have a cotton ball covered with myrrh oil from the current icon in Hawaii and it is so powerful I feel safe and comforted every day that I wear it upon my body.
