( As of 03/01/2009 Medjugorje is still not an approved apparition of the Church -
Everything Seen, Said and Done should be discerned with the Holy Spirit's guidance.)
THE POSITION OF THE CHURCH - NO OFFICIAL STATEMENT
- Still Investigating
I went to Medjugorje in 1991 to see for myself if the Queen of Heaven - Mary the Mother of My Lord Jesus Christ was appearing.
What I saw was the battle between good and evil being fought right here on earth.
Is Mary present in Medjugorje - yes she is... but just as she is present -- Satan was also present...
There was a battle of good and evil occurring there.
People gathered to seek forgiveness in the long lines of confessions, people were finding redemption for previous sins, celebrating the life of Christ and rediscovering God.
People were reading the bible, saying prayers such as the Our Father and Hail Mary, receiving communion and finding peace.
But The Devil was also there, trying to confuse the message, radicalism was present on both the ethnic and religious side causing an intentional blurring between what was man made and what was god made.
Today, that battle between good and evil continues... and it rages well beyond the valley where the apparitions first appeared. Many "cult like Groups" have formed which have turned on the Catholic Church and it's leaders for not approving the apparition in a more expeditious manner.
Let there be no doubt - these groups represent good intentioned individuals who have become ensnared in the Devil's work.
For Christ, would never turn against his own church.
It was Christ himself who said, a house divided can not stand.
These groups should be avoided at all costs.
But keep in mind, there are also many other responsible groups who have been formed who remain obedient to the church, and who responsibly spread the news and messages of our Lady who seems to be appearing there.
The fact that Satan himself has taken so much interest and has personally gotten involved in these apparitions and the controversy surrounding them, makes me personally inclined to believe that our Lady did indeed appear with a dire warning for all of us.
It's time to come home to Christ.
It's time to put aside your selfish ways, your sinful lives and repent... for the kingdom of God draws near.
Soon after the apparitions started, a terrible war ensued, tens of thousands of people lost their lives in a Genocide of unspeakable horror. Ethnic Cleansing in our modern times. It reminds me of the warning in Kibeho, Africa - Rwanda - a couple of years before the genocide occurred there. Mary, our beloved mother, worries about us and tries to warn us, to help us before its too late.
So I beg of you to discern the events of Medjugorje,
The Messages being provided with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Remember, Mary is NOT GOD.
Mary's sole purpose is to bring her human family closer to Christ - her son.
She is an intervener, and as our mother, she lovingly petitions the good Lord for mercy and forgiveness for all of us.
Anything which puts Christ second - is not sacred. If it brings you closer to him - it is good.
