The Spirit of Medjugorje
Medjugorje Message November 25, 2024
"Dear children! In this time of the grace of expectation, I desire to call you to prayer for Advent to be prayer of the family. In a special way, little children whom I tenderly embrace, I encourage you to prayer for peace in the world; for peace to prevail over peacelessness and hatred. Thank you for having responded to my call. (With Ecclesiastical approval)"

The Eyes of Our Lady
The following is an excerpt from an interview with Marija by Fr. Livio Fanzaga of Radio Maria on 7/25/22 regarding the Message of July 25, 2022. We thank a "shipmate" of Mary TV named Marina who translated the interview from Italian. The entire interview can be read at https://files.constantcontact.com/ e5550497001/27385b65-c91b-4ea1-b7ee-edabde39f36a.pdf
F.L. As you saw Our Lady tonight, you noticed Her eyes. Do you want to describe them? What feelings do they arouse in you? Tell me about the eyes of Our Lady.
M. Paradise! We long for Heaven every time the apparition ends, we feel Heaven, remain astonished like a fish out of the water; Our Lady transmits that desire for Heaven to you - Her eyes...Her face....
F.L. Do you know why I am asking you this? Because today I was working on an interview I did with Jakov when he was a boy here on Radio Maria; well, he went on for ten minutes describing the eyes of Our Lady, and I was surprised by the description he made, and I said to myself: 'Tonight, I'll ask Marjia the same question.' Don't tell me they're indescribable, tell me something more!
M. They are sweet, they are beautiful, they are deep. Do you remember that Jakov once during an interview many years ago (I think he was eleven), well they asked him: "How do you feel when Our Lady looks at you?" He had replied, "I feel naked, because of such a deep gaze that I remain as 'naked' before Her." Naked in our heart, because Our Lady seems to read it, but above all Her eyes love us, and this cannot be described as She has this expression of The Eyes of Our Lady positivity, of the joy of Heaven, of sweetness, that tenderness that when She looks at you, you cannot remain indifferent. Many times, I have wondered if I will end up getting used to seeing Her as She appears to me every day. No. Many times I would like to cry for joy because Her eyes give me so much endearment. Deep down in my heart, I would like to leave everything here on earth and go to Heaven, not for three seconds, five minutes, but much, much longer. I would like to do as Martha and Mary did: where one dealt with material chores and the other one with the spiritual things she was learning from Her Lord.
F.L. Is Her gaze sometimes severe?
M. Her gaze is deep, beautiful and, at the same time, She can be sometimes rigorous, because there are moments when Our Lady has that seriousness, but She doesn't really mean that; She also has sweetness.
F.L. When She talks about Satan, what kind of look does She have?
M. She usually has a very stern look, very firm, even sad, we can say, but at the same time, She is the one who tells us: 'God is hope, God is love.' I believe that during all these years, She has delivered us Her positive nature. When people are worried about the coming secrets, the coming wars, I tell them: 'Heaven is coming,' not wars, because She told us that with prayer and fasting, even wars can be removed. She is calling us, She is inviting us to be prayer and fasting, and with that, to believe everything is possible to God.
