Uncorrupted body of Blessed Carlo Acutis

This is a photo of Blessed Carlo Acutis' incorrupt body. It was found uncorrupted shortly after his death, but the Vatican decided to expose it to the public only close to the Beatification, which will be on October 10, 2020. The opening of tomb was broadcast live on October 1, 2020 on Italian television and internet with the Carlo's mother, Antonia Salzano, and she was very moved. This time, the world did not see an incorrupt body of a priest or nun, as are many of the bodies of incorrupt Saints, but of a teenager wearing sneakers, pants and jacket.

Life of Blessed Carlo Acutis

Birth: This teenager in the photo wearing dark glasses will be more of a young Saint! He loved much the computers, the internet and video games! This is the Blessed Carlo Acutis, who died at just 15 years old, in 2006. He was born in London, on May 3, 1991, the son of the Italian couple Andrea and Antonia. But a few months later, they went to live in Italy, in Milan, where Carlo lived until the end of his life. Since he was a child, Carlo loved to pray more than his own parents. His great loves were Jesus and Mary. Still very small, as he passed in front of the churches, he said: "Mother, let's go in to greet Jesus and say a prayer." His parents were not very faithful or prayerful. His mother said: “He asked me many profound questions to which he did not know how to answer. I was perplexed by his devotion. He was so small and so full of certainty. I understood that it was something of his, but that it also involved me. This way, I started my way of getting closer to the faith. I followed him.”  

Eucharist: At the age of 7, Carlo asked to make his First Communion. Because of his great devotion to the Eucharistic Jesus, a priest allowed him to do it. His mother says: “From that moment on, the center of Carlo's life and day of Carlo was Jesus Eucharistic. He went to Mass every day. I always visited the Tabernacle for a few minutes before and after Mass.” He received Communion with great devotion and said: "The Eucharist is my way to Heaven." Carlo was very fond of learning about Eucharistic miracles and asked his parents to travel to all the cities in which they had occurred. But he couldn't because of his illness, in 2006. He said: “We are more fortunate than the Apostles who lived with Jesus 2000 years ago: to meet Him it is enough that we enter the church. Jerusalem is beside our homes.” 

Devotion to Mary: He was very devoted to Our Lady and as a child he already said the complete Rosary every day. Carlo said: "Our Lady is the only woman in my life." He has consecrated himself several times throughout his life to Our Lady, mainly during the visits he made to the Shrines of Lourdes and Fátima. Carlo said: “The Eucharist and the Rosary are my kit for becoming a saint.” He also prayed fervently for the souls in Purgatory and offered sacrifices and penances for them. Impressed by the messages of Fatima, he also prayed and was concerned for the conversion of sinners. Carlo was sad to see the Church and the Pope misunderstood. 

Joyful teenager: Carlo was a normal boy like the others. I liked to play with friends and go for a walk. He was always cheerful and smiling. It was very smart. He always spoke to his friends about Jesus and invited them to go to Mass with him. Carlo was always concerned about those friends whose parents were divorcing and invited them to his home to support them. He defended the rights of people with disabilities and defended disabled classmates at school when they were mocked. He was outgoing and friendly with everyone at school. Even friends without religion liked to be with him. He was not very interested in wearing fashionable clothes. He was upset once when his mother bought him a pair of shoes that he didn't need much saying that it could go to those who need it most. In his room, there was a large picture of Jesus that was in plain view. In a notebook, he wrote: “Sadness is looking at yourself, happiness is looking at God. Conversion is nothing more than looking away from the bottom up. Just a simple eye movement.” 

Fun: Carlo never stopped having fun with his friends. He still found time to play the saxophone, play football, create computer programs, have fun with video games, watch detective movies, record short videos with his dogs and cats and take pictures. In addition to studying, of course, because he attended the Leo XII School of Milan.

Purity: Carlo often confessed and said: “A balloon, in order to rise very high, needs to strip itself of everything that weighs. So does the soul, in order to rise to Heaven it is necessary to remove these small weights that are venial sins. If there is a mortal sin, the soul falls on the earth and the Confession will be like fire, the same fire that makes the balloon return to Heaven. It is necessary to confess frequently because the soul is very complex.” He was a very pure and very chaste teenager. For this, Carlo recommended himself to the prayers of the priests and religious he knew. They were enchanted by the fervor of this young boy. He was a devotee of several Saints and read their lives. Carlo loved especially San Francis of Assisi, Saint Clare of Assisi, Saint Bernadette, Saint Jacinta and Francisco of Fatima, Saint Aloyius Gonzaga, Saint Tarcisius, Saint Dominic Savio. Carlo did not know that he would set an beautiful example through his life in his time like them. He said: "The more Eucharist we receive, the more we will become like Jesus, so that on this Earth we have a foretaste of Heaven."  

Charitable: Despite living in Milan and being a family with conditions, there were many poor people and immigrants in the city. Carlo always thought of them, of the poor. At lunchtime, he kept leftover food in containers and took it to the homeless people who lived in the region. Everyone in the neighborhood knew him. Carlo always greeted neighbors and doormen, many of them from other religions such as Muslims and Hindus. Rajesh, a Hindu Brahmin, worked at his home. They became so friend and Rajesh converted and asked to receive the sacraments. Rajesh says: “Carlo told me he would be happier if I approached Jesus. I asked me for Christian Baptism because he attracted and captivated me with his deep faith, his charity and his purity. I always considered him to be someone out of the ordinary, because a boy so young, so handsome and so rich usually prefers to lead a different life.” Carlo never wasted money, not even a penny, because it could go to those who need it most. With his first savings, Carlo bought a sleeping bag for a beggar who he saw near the church. He also made donations to the Capuchins who give food to the homeless. Carlo was not afraid to be different from others if he needed to and said: “We were born originals and many die like copies of each other.” 

Internet: Carlo was passionate about the internet and the computer. It was great in all computer programs and put up a website with about all the Eucharistic miracles, a site that was later translated into several languages and is still online. He participated in several evangelization activities in his city. 

Death and illness: In early October 2006, Carlo fell ill. It looked like a normal flu. I had just finished presenting a video with volunteering proposals for the students at the Leão XIII School. This was a difficult job to do and Carlo considered it very important. The projection date was October 4th. But he couldn't go. He was admitted to the São Geraldo hospital in Monza. It was not the flu, it was fulminant leukemia, type M3, the worst. There was no possibility of recovery. Shortly after walking through the doors of the hospital, he said to his mother: "I'm not leaving here." Later he said to his parents: "I offer to the Lord the sufferings that I will have to suffer for the Pope and the Church, so that I don't have to be in Purgatory and be able to go straight to Heaven." The sufferings arrived and were enormous. Despite this, when a nurse asked him how he felt, he replied: “I'm fine. Do not wake up my mother, who is tired and will worry more.” He asked for the anointing of the sick and for the “medicine” of the Eucharist. He received it with devotion and serenity. The doctors and nurses were delighted with his good humor and patience even with terrible pain. He was still smiling at everyone and always very kind. When the doctor who accompanied him asked if he suffered a lot, Carlo responded with courage: "There are people who suffer much more than me!" He also wrote serenely: "I am happy to die because I have lived my life without wasting a minute on things that do not please God." At 6:45 am on October 12, 2006, the day of Our Lady of Aparecida, Carlo died at the age of 15 years. After his death, his organs were removed for donation and the young man of holiness was buried in the cemetery of Assisi, as requested. On the day of his funeral, the church and cemetery were filled to capacity. His mother recalls: “There were people who I didn't know from anywhere. Homeless people, immigrants, beggars, children... A crowd that told me about Carlo. The things he had done for them, and I knew nothing. They testified to my son's life, and I felt like an orphan.” 

Fame of holiness: The fame of the teenager Carlo Acutis soon spread throughout the world, in many countries. Young people and teenagers from all over the world, but also adults, quickly identified with his example and life, feeling called to imitate him, because holiness is a call for everyone and for normal things and not just for convents. God wants saints all over the world and in all conditions of life. 

Beatification: In 2018, the Vatican declared Carlo Acutis as venerable. His body was exhumed and found uncorrupted. The Vatican decided to display the uncorrupted body to the public only in the proximity of the beatification. The opening of the tomb was broadcast live on October 1, 2020 on Italian TV and the Internet with Carlo's mother, Antonia Salzano, and she was very moved. This time the world did not see the incorruptible body of a priest or nun, as many incorruptible bodies of Saints are, but of a teenage boy wearing sneakers, pants and a jacket. The beatification ceremony of young Carlo Acutis took place this Saturday, October 9, 2020 at the Basilica of San Francesco in Assisi.

Novena to Our Lady of Childbirth

(Novena and prayers for gestation) 

Initial prayer for pregnancy:  
“God the Father Almighty, I am your daughter and at this moment I am expecting your child and carrying it in my womb. Each child is yours first and then of the parents. Take care of this child and your parents too. Take care of me, I am the mother of this child at this time of pregnancy. Enlighten me about the grace of motherhood and the gift of each life that you bring to this world. Each child has infinite value for You. You are the Creator and you love your creature infinitely. Guide me with the Holy Spirit through your Word and the Eucharist to feed my soul. Take away all worry and fear. I know you are with all your children and pregnant women. Help me to bear all the sacrifices of pregnancy and childbirth. Rescue pregnant women and newborns from all ills during childbirth. Stay with me at all times until the birth of this child, who I already consecrate to You, my Heavenly Father, through the intercession of Our Lady of Childbirth. Amen." 

Final prayer to Our Lady of Childbirth: 
“Dear Mother, Our Lady of Good Birth, right now, I expect your child. I want to wait with the same love with which you waited for the Baby Jesus in your womb. Help me at all times. Take away all my fear, for you are beside all of us who beseech You. Give me patience, strength and courage in the difficulties in my way, just as You had a long and hard journey to Bethlehem. But in the end, Jesus was born and your Heart was filled with joy. My heart will also rejoice with this child who I hope. This is your child too, my dear Mother. After the birth, help me and the father to raise this child throughout the life. Livelihood is not always easy, as your life in Nazareth with Saint Joseph was poor to raise the Child Jesus. But the providence of the Heavenly Father will help us. Illuminate my doctor and every nurse who will help me during childbirth. Protect pregnant women and babies of whole world with your sacred mantle. Deliver us from all dangers, diseases and fear. Give us the grace of good births. Help me during my childbirth and my pains. From now on, I also consecrate this child to You, Our Mother. Our Lady of Childbirth, pray for us and for all pregnant women and babies! Amen." 

First day: (Ecclesiasticus 2, 1-13) "Son, when thou comest to the service of God, stand in justice and in fear, and prepare thy soul for temptation. Humble thy heart, and endure: incline thy ear, and receive the words of understanding: and make not haste in the time of clouds. Wait on God with patience: join thyself to God, and endure, that thy life may be increased in the latter end. Take all that shall be brought upon thee: and in thy sorrow endure, and in thy humiliation keep patience. For gold and silver are tried in the fire, but acceptable men in the furnace of humiliation. "Believe God, and he will recover thee: and direct thy way, and trust in him. Keep his fear, and grow old therein. Ye that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy: and go not aside from him, lest ye fall. Ye that fear the Lord, believe him: and your reward shall not be made void. Ye that fear the Lord, hope in him: and mercy shall come to you for your delight. Ye that fear the Lord, love him, and your hearts shall be enlightened. My children behold the generations of men: and know ye that no one hath hoped in the Lord, and hath been confounded. For who hath continued in his commandment, and hath been forsaken? or who hath called upon him, and he despised him? For God is compassionate and merciful, and will forgive sins in the day of tribulation: and he is a protector to all that seek him in truth." 

Second day: (Psalm 144) "I will extol thee, O God my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever. Every day I will bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end. Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power. They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works. And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness. They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice. The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy. The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. Let all thy works, O lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power: To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom. Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages: and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down. The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season. Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature. The Lord is just in all his ways: and holy in all his works. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: to all that call upon him in truth. He will do the will of them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save them. The Lord keepeth all them that love him; but all the wicked he will destroy. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless thy holy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever." 

Third day: (II Coríntios 5, 17-21. 6,2) "If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away, behold all things are made new. But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Christ; and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. For God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their sins; and he hath placed in us the word of reconciliation. For Christ therefore we are ambassadors, God as it were exhorting by us. For Christ, we beseech you, be reconciled to God. Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us, that we might be made the justice of God in him. And we helping do exhort you, that you receive not the grace of God in vain. For he saith: In an accepted time have I heard thee; and in the day of salvation have I helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation." 

Fourth day: (Colossenses 3, 12-17) "Put ye on therefore, as the elect of God, holy, and beloved, the bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience: Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against another: even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so do you also. But above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection: And let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body: and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom: teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God. All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." 

Fifth day: (Filipenses 4, 4-9) "Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I say, rejoice. Let your modesty be known to all men. The Lord is nigh. Be nothing solicitous; but in every thing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on these things. The things which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these do ye, and the God of peace shall be with you." 

Sixth day: (Galatians 6, 2-10) "Bear ye one another's burdens; and so you shall fulfil the law of Christ. For if any man think himself to be some thing, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every one prove his own work, and so he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another. For every one shall bear his own burden. And let him that is instructed in the word, communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things. Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting. And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing. Therefore, whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but especially to those who are of the household of the faith." 

Seventh day: (Psalm 26, 1-4.7-9.11-14) "The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid? Whilst the wicked draw near against me, to eat my flesh. My enemies that trouble me, have themselves been weakened, and have fallen. If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear. If a battle should rise up against me, in this will I be confident. One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple. Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: have mercy on me and hear me. My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: thy face, O Lord, will I still seek. Turn not away thy face from me; decline not in thy wrath from thy servant. Be thou my helper, forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour. Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies. Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself. I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living. Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord." 

Eighth day: (Psalm 118, 105-120) "Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths. 106. I have sworn and am determined to keep the judgments of thy justice. I have been humbled, O Lord, exceedingly: quicken thou me according to thy word. The free offerings of my mouth make acceptable, O Lord: and teach me thy judgments. My soul is continually in my hands: and I have not forgotten thy law. Sinners have laid a snare for me: but I have not erred from thy precepts. I have purchased thy testimonies for an inheritance for ever: because they are a joy to my heart. I have inclined my heart to do thy justifications for ever, for the reward. I have hated the unjust: and have loved thy law. Thou art my helper and my protector: and in thy word I have greatly hoped. Depart from me, ye malignant: and I will search the commandments of my God. Uphold me according to thy word, and I shall live: and let me not be confounded in my expectation. Help me, and I shall be saved: and I will meditate always on thy justifications. Thou hast despised all them that fall off from thy judgments; for their thought is unjust. I have accounted all the sinners of the earth prevaricators: therefore have I loved thy testimonies. Pierce thou my flesh with thy fear: for I am afraid of thy judgments." 

Ninth day: (Psalm 32) "Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright. Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings. Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise. For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness. He loveth mercy and judgment. The earth is full of the mercy of the Lord. By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth: Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him. For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created. The Lord bringeth to naught the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes. But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance. The Lord hath looked from heaven: he hath beheld all the sons of men. From his habitation which he hath prepared, he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth. He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: who understandeth all their works. The king is not saved by a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength. Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength. Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy. To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine. Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector. For in him our heart shall rejoice: and in his holy name we have trusted. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee."

Silence in Medjugorje:

Eucharistic miracle of Cascia

In 1330, a priest went to carry the Communion to a sick peasant near Siena, Italy. Before leaving, in a hurry and without due respect, he placed a Host within the pages of his breviary, which is the book of prayers of priests. At the time of Communion, he opened the breviary and saw that the Host had become a Blood stain between the two pages of the book. He came out sorry and handed the book with the Blood stains to an priest Augustinian in Siena, who was very saint. The priest Augustinian listened to the irreverent priest in Confession and took one page stained by Blood to the city of Perugia and the other to Cascia. The page that was in Perugia was lost in 1866, but the page with the stain of Blood of Cascia is preserved today and is venerated in the Basilica of Santa Rita.

Pray to peacefully withstand every trial

Abundant gifts to your hearts

Be on your guard!" 

Message of Our Lady in Medjugorje.

Eucharistic Miracle of Faverney

In Faverney, France, in the year 1600, there was a monastery of St. Benedict. This monastery had only 6 monks and 2 novices who always encouraged the faith of the people. On May 25, 1600, the Feast of Pentecost, the monks made a beautiful wooden altar adorned with beautiful flowers. The ceremony was beautiful and fervent. At night, the monks left the Blessed Sacrament in a monstrance on this Altar with two candles and went to sleep. On May 26, 1600, there was a fire at this altar and a lot of fire burned the church. However, the Ostensory and the Host were not struck by fire. This Ostensory rose and hovered in the air before them all, unbroken. The fire was extinguished, and the Ostensory still hovered in the air. Fathers, religious and a large crowd of people went to the site to see the miracle. Many prayers and masses were made there while the Ostensory remained motionless and suspended in the air, day and night. During the consecration of the Mass on May 27, the Ostensory changed position, descended gently to the Altar and landed there. That was the end of the miracle. The Ostensory was suspended for 33 hours in the air. In this Ostensory there was also a relic of Saint Agatha, a proclamation of the Pope's indulgences and a letter from the bishop who also remained undamaged from the fire. The Host of this miracle remains uncorrupted to this day in the Church of Our Lady of La Blanche.

Give the love of Our Lady

  Marija, seer of Medjugorje, asked Our Lady if She had something concrete to give her. Our Lady answered, “Yes, I give you my love, so that you give it to others.” Marija then said to Fr. Slavko, “To experience the beauty of Our Lady’s love, and to know that it is that love which gives itself to you, is the most beautiful thing in life. But, when I try to love others and try to give that love to them, then that is difficult and I often feel shame for my insufficiencies to love in the light of Our Lady’s all encompassing motherly love.”

   Our Lady instructed the visionary Marija to write down her messages to the world. From 1984 to 1986, Our Lady gave a message every Thursday. From 1987, she started giving on the 25th of the month. Our Lady said to Marija, "I give you my love, so that you can transmit it to the world." After the apparitions, Marija wrote down the messages and gave it to Father Slavko to translate. However, on August 21, 1986, Marija wrote down the message and was crying much. Father Slavko asked: 

-Why are you crying, Marija? 

-Father, I will ask Our Lady to choose someone else to transmit her messages. 

-Why? 

-I am not able to transmit what she shows me!... Look at today's message! This is not a message!... Father Slavko was startled and thought that Our Lady had given a sad message. He read it and was relieved to see how beautiful she was, talking about love. Our Lady said: 

“Dear children! I thank you for the love which you are showing me. You know, dear children, that I love you immeasurably and daily I pray the Lord to help you to understand the love which I am showing you. Therefore, you, dear children, pray, pray, pray!”  

   Father Slavko saw no reason for Marija to be so sad. Marija explained: 

-Father, Our Lady said: "I love you immensely." But Father, if you saw her while she said that... She opened her arms and it was as if her love embraced each child! And that with a tenderness in your smile, in your eyes!... But now, when I see those poor words written on that simple piece of paper, I feel so bad... These simple words are nothing with what Our Lady expresses… With this role, people will never understand the love she has for them... I am not good enough to convey her love. She must choose someone else...” 

   Father Slavko comforted Marija as best as she could, but her deep regret at not being able to convey Maria's immense love well enough never left her.

The bless of Our Lady

Marija, seer of Medjugorje, said:

“Every time I receive Our Lady, when there are many numbers present in the apparitions, Our Lady blesses us and She asks, really from everyone of us, to be more near to Her and to be Her instruments. The more people are with Her, the more Her plan is fulfilled. Always we should be open for the graces Our Lady wishes to give us. Our Lady has said, ‘Pray for my intentions. The moment you pray for my intentions, it is then possible I can help you.’ Then our hearts, our minds are open for the blessing of Our Lady, of the presence of Our Lady, and so in this way you become more open to receive grace from Our Lady and your soul is affected. Every time at the moment of the apparition, we, the visionaries, forget everything and we then become aware only of Our Lady and Her presence and more beautiful things are in our hearts. But in our mind, ‘we remember’ also those people who are present and in a special way, those who are physically sick, and those who are spiritually sick. Our Lady blesses us and I think the most beautiful thing is this blessing of Our Lady that is for everyone.”

Prayer of Spiritual Communion

“At Thy feet, O my Jesus, I prostrate myself and I offer Thee repentance of my contrite heart, which is humbled in its nothingness and in Thy holy presence. I adore Thee in the Sacrament of Thy love, the ineffable Eucharist. I desire to receive Thee into the poor dwelling that my heart offers Thee. While waiting for the happiness of Sacramental Communion, I wish to possess Thee in spirit. Come to me, O my Jesus, since I, for my part, am coming to Thee! May Thy love embrace my whole being in life and in death. I believe in Thee. I hope in Thee. I love Thee. Amen.” 

Pope Francis prayed at the beginning of Mass for families who cannot leave their homes due to quarantine. Pope Francis said, 

“Let us pray to the Lord, let us return to Him. The Lord teaches us how to pray… how we must approach the Lord: with humility. When we begin praying with our own justifications, with our securities, that’s not prayer. That is like speaking to a mirror. Instead when we begin praying with our true reality – I’m a sinner – this is a good step forward in allowing the Lord to look at us. May Jesus teach us this. Perhaps the farthest they can go is their balcony. May they know how to find a way of communicating well, of building loving relationships within the family. And that they might know how to conquer the anguish of this moment together as a family. We pray for peace in families today during this crisis, and for creativity.”

Message of Our Lady in Medjugorje to seer Jakov Colo

Message of Our Lady in Medjugorje to seer Jakov Colo in his annual apparition: 

Message of December 25, 2017: “Today, on this day of grace, I am calling you to ask the Lord for the gift of faith. My children, decide for God and begin to live and to believe in that what God is calling you to. To believe, my children, means to surrender your lives into God’s hands - the hands of the Lord who created you and who loves you immeasurably. Do not be believers only in words but live and witness your faith through works and through your personal example. Speak with God as with your Father. Open and surrender your hearts to Him and you will see how your hearts are changing and how your life will marvel at God’s works in your life. My children, there is no life without God and that is why, as your mother, I intercede before, and pray to, my Son to renew your hearts and to fill your life with immeasurable love. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Eucharistic miracle of Ferrara

On March 28, 1171, Easter Sunday, in Ferrara, Italy, Father Pietro da Verona celebrated Mass with the other three priests. At the moment of departing the Consecrated Host, a large amount of Blood was released from it, splashing droplets everywhere and staining the dome that was above the Altar. The people who attending Mass and the priests were very impressed. The Host become red and many people saw the Baby Jesus in it. Many people have documented testimonies of the miracle and it this proves its authenticity. Blood stains are still visible today and the church has become a place of pilgrimage.

Look at the Cross in silence

Message of February 2, 2020: “Dear children, by the act of the decision and love of God, I am chosen to be the Mother of God and your mother. But also by my will and my immeasurable love for the Heavenly Father and my complete trust in Him, my body was the chalice of the God-man. I was in the service of truth, love and salvation, as I am now among you to call you, my children, apostles of my love, to be carriers of truth. To call you to spread His words, the words of salvation, by your will and love for my Son: that with your actions you may show, to all those who have not come to know my Son, His love. You will find strength in the Eucharist, my Son who feeds you with His Body and strengthens you with His Blood. My children, fold your hands and look at the Cross in silence. In this way, you are drawing faith to be able to transmit it; you are drawing truth to be able to discern; you are drawing love that you may know to love truly. My children, apostles of my love, fold your hands, look at the Cross. Only in the Cross is salvation. Thank you.”

Help them always

Message of Our Lady in Medjugorje to Mirjana, March 18, 2017:

“Dear children! My motherly desire is for your hearts to be filled with peace, and for your souls to be pure so that in the presence of my Son you could see His face. Because, my children, as a mother I know that you thirst for consolation, hope and protection. You, my children, consciously and unconsciously are seeking my Son. I also, as I passed the time on earth, rejoiced, suffered and patiently endured pains, until my Son, in all His glory, removed them. And that is why I am saying to my Son: help them always. You, my children, with true love, illuminate the darkness of selfishness which all the more envelops my children. Be generous. May both your hands and heart always be open. Do not be afraid. Abandon yourselves to my Son with trust and hope. As you look towards Him, live life with love. To love means to give oneself, to endure, and never to judge. To love means to live the words of my Son. My children, as a mother I am speaking to you: only true love leads to eternal happiness. Thank you.”

Eucharist Miracle of Bolsena and Orvieto

In the year 1263, Father Pete de Praga doubted the presence of Christ in the Eucharist and made a pilgrimage to Rome to pray for the grace of St. Peter's tomb. After returning to Bolsena, while celebrating Holy Mass in the Church of Santa Cristina, at the time of the Consecration, the Host bled. The drops of Blood fell on the Corporal and also on the marble floor of the church. Pope Urban IV was very close in the city of Orvieto and ordered to the people to take the Corporal to him. The Corporal was taken to the pope in procession through the streets, which were decorated by the people with flowers, candles and ornaments. As the Pope approached the sacred corporal with the drops of Blood on the street, he knelt and said: "Body of the Lord." It was because of this miracle that the Pope ordered the Solemnity of Corpus Christi to be celebrated throughout the Church on the Thursday after the Holy Trinity Sunday of each year. Pope Urban IV commissioned Saint Thomas Aquinas to prepare a liturgical office for the feast and to compose hymns, which are sung to this day. Saint John Paul II, during his visit to the Cathedral of Orvieto in 1990, said, “Jesus became our spiritual food to proclaim the sovereign dignity of man, to claim his rights and his just demands, to convey to them the secret of victory on evil and eternal communion with God.”

Message of March 18, 2020

Message of March 18, 2020: “Dear children, my Son, as God, always looked above time. I, as His Mother, through Him, see in time. I see beautiful and sad things. But I see that there is still love, and that one should endeavor to make it known. My children, you cannot be happy if you do not love one another, if you do not have love in every situation and in every moment of your life. Also, I, as a mother, come to you through love to help you know the true love, to help you know my Son. This is why I am calling you, always anew to thirst all the more for love, faith and hope. The only spring you can drink from is the trust in God, my Son. My children, in moments of peacelessness and renunciation all you have to do is to seek the face of my Son. You just live His words and do not be afraid. Pray and love with sincere feelings, with good works, and help that the world may change and my heart triumph. As does my Son so I also tell you to love one another for there is no salvation without love. Thank you my children.” 

After Mirjana relayed the message from Our Lady today, Mirjana stated that Our Lady would no longer be appearing to her on the second of the month. Mirjana left the room in tears and went into seclusion after that.

Message of March 25, 2020 in Medjugorje

Message of March 25, 2020 in Medjugorje: “Dear children! I am with you all these years to lead you to the way of salvation. Return to my Son; return to prayer and fasting.

You will see conversion in your hearts and families; prayer will be heard; God will hear your cries and give you peace. I am with you and am blessing you all with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Eucharistic Miracle of Offida

In Offida, Italy, in the year 1273, the wife Ricciarella wanted to be more loved by her husband, as they fought a lot. On the advice of a witch, Ricciarella did not swallow the Host she received at Mass. At home, she set fire to the hollow part of a log and threw the Host there to be burned. But the Host did not burn, but became Flesh, from which abundant Blood flowed and spread throughout the trunk. Very scared, Ricciarella threw ashes on the stump, but the Blood did not stop flowing. Then the woman took a linen tablecloth and wrapped the trunk with the Host and buried them in the stable, under the manure of donkeys! When her husband Giácomo arrived, the donkey refused to enter in the stable, something he had never done, because it was cozy there for him and there was food. After being pushed and beaten, the donkey entered and prostrated itself with its head down towards the place where the Host was buried! The husband called Ricciarella and showed her the horse kneeling in adoration and respect. She lied and said she did nothing. And so, the Host was buried for seven years and all animals that entered there always prostrated themselves before the place where she was. Ricciarella didn't tell anyone during this time. She was unable to sleep well and full of regret and shame, she decided to confess to Father Giacomo Diotallevi. He decided to go to the place and went with the sacred robes. There was no bad smell in the place. Father Giacomo dug up the trunk and the Host under the manure and saw that they were intact, completely clean, as was the towel that wrapped it. The Blood and the Meat were still fresh. The residents of Offida were happy that this miracle took place there and placed the Host in a reliquary in the shape of a cross. The towel remains uncorrupted even today and as the Holy Host.

Testimony of Vicka Ivankovic

The seer of Medjugorje Vicka always gives her testimony with a contagious smile and a joy that can only come from Heaven to pilgrims from all over the world who gather to hear her. Vicka shares the messages she received many years ago. See the testimony of Vicka: 

The main messages of Our Lady are the prayer, peace, conversion, Confession and fasting. Our Lady recommends that we pray every day all three parts of the Rosary, and to fast two days a week on bread and water on Wednesdays and Fridays. Another beautiful thing that Our Lady recommends to us is to pray for a firm, strong faith. When Our Lady says that we should pray, it doesn’t mean that we should just use our lips to pray, but we should use our hearts. Every day we should open our hearts so that prayer may become a joy for us. Our Lady gave us a beautiful example. She said: “Dear children, all of you have a flowerpot at home. If you water this flower every day, if you pour the right amount of water, you will see what it looks like – it is getting a beautiful flower.” It is almost the same example with our heart. If we put in our heart every day the right amount of prayer, our heart will be growing and blossoming like a beautiful rose. But if we don’t water the flower for a few days, we are going to see very soon what it looks like – as if it never existed before. The same thing happens with us. When the time for prayer comes, we may say, “Today I am tired, I will do my prayers tomorrow.” Tomorrow, by tomorrow, we never find the time for prayer and in this way, we let all bad influences enter into our heart. The Blessed Mother says, “Dear children, as one flower cannot live without water, you cannot live without God’s graces. Prayer with the heart you cannot study, you cannot learn prayer with the heart, but you can live prayer with the heart, making every day step forward.” When Our Lady talks about fasting, it is not for the sick people. On these days, they should give up something else that they like very much. About all other people who don’t have health problems, and we can still hear about their complaints, feeling weak, dizzy, having headaches, stomach ache or something like that, Our Lady said that it is not a question of health, it is a question of your good will. You must have the good will to make the decision to fast. The Blessed Mother wants our complete conversion. She says, “Dear children, when you have some problems or illnesses, all of you think that Jesus and I are far from you. You are always so close to you. You just open your hearts and then you will be able to see how much we love you.” Our Lady wants us to make little sacrifices. She would be very, very happy if we would not commit sin anymore. Our Lady says, “I am giving you my peace and my love so that you can take it with you to your friends, to your families.” Our Lady gives us Her blessing and She prays for all of us. Our Lady is very, very happy if we pray the Rosary in our family, in our community. She is very happy when the parents pray with the children and children with the parents. In this way, being united in prayer, satan cannot harm us. Our Lady says that satan works very hard as he wants to disturb our prayers and take away our peace. Our Lady recommends that we pray a little bit more. The strongest weapon in our hands against satan is the Rosary. Our Lady recommends that we wear something blessed on us. It could be any little blessed item – Crucifix, medal – anything that is blessed so that we may defend ourselves easier from satan. Our Lady says that we should place the Holy Mass in the first place because this is the most important, the holiest moment. In this moment, during the Holy Mass, Jesus, Who is alive, comes to us. Our Lady wants us, while we are in the church, to receive Jesus without any excuses, without any fears. She also recommends monthly Confession and She says, "Dear children, don't go to the Confession just because you are a sinner, but go also to hear some good advice from your priest." Especially today, Our Lady is very much concerned about all the young people in the world. The young people live in a very, very difficult situation. We are the ones who could help them with our prayer with the heart and our love. Our Lady says, "Dear young people, what this world has to offer to you is temporary. See how satan uses every moment of ours, the moments when you are free, weak, and he wants to attack you." And he works especially very hard on the young people, as he wants to destroy our families. The Blessed Mother says these are the days of the great graces. She wants us to take Her messages and to start living them. The Blessed Mother wants us to become the carriers of Her peace and to pray for peace in the whole world. But, first of all, Our Lady recommends that we pray for the peace in our hearts, for the peace in our family, in our community. Then, when we receive the peace in our heart, we may pray for the peace in the world. The Blessed Mother says: “Dear children, if you pray for the peace in the world, and there is no peace in your heart, it is not worth the prayer.” In these days, Our Lady recommends that we pray more. She asks of us to prayer for Her intentions and for Her plans. Take the Holy Bible everyday – to read a few lines and to live them during the day. Our Lady asks of us to pray for the Holy Father, for all bishops and priests, for the whole clergy of the Church because they are very much in need of our prayers. In a special way Our Lady asks from us to pray for one of Her plans that should be accomplished. Her greatest concern, something that really causes the pain in Her heart, are the families and the young people because they are in a very difficult situation today. Our Lady says that She has been praying for peace, and She recommends to all of us to pray for the same intention of Hers and to support Her by our prayers. This evening when Our Lady appears, I am going to recommend all of you and all of your intentions. At that time, I will be having the apparition at twenty to seven, open your hearts and present to the Blessed Mother all of your needs and all of your intentions.

Important reflection about Coronavirus

The seer of Medjugorje Ivan Dragicevic said this important reflection about Coronavirus, March, 20, 2020: 

“The same goes for this unwanted, unexpected and intimidating guest... Maybe it's a curse, maybe a blessing. The world has remained silent for a moment. The industrial giant is silent. All people are equal again, both large and small, trembling with the same fear before the unknown... They say you can finally see the Heaven in Italy and that the italians are socializing, meeting and loving their neighbors. The walls of the balconies and the glass windows are no longer obstacles... There will no longer be silence in the rooms and lifts. The whole christian world is praying together for the same thing. Families are finally getting to know each other, to get to know each other, to socialize and pray aloud, and suddenly there is a lot of time. The virus also slows down times. Where were you hurrying, poor and little human? Don't you see how small and helpless you are compared to something much smaller than you? - What are you doing with yourself while your days have been counted just like hair on the head? Stop and listen to the silence, go back to your roots and pray to God. You have such a desperate fear for your bodies, but as for your soul, how are you preparing it? Some gifts do not seem to us blessings, yet they are... Open your eyes to see how a tiny unknown particle changes your world, and Someone above is seeing everything. And what do you think, is He smiling??? Greetings to all of you and, with your head raised, pray to Our Lord Jesus Christ. I greet and join you in prayer.” 

 

On April 25, 2020, Marija said on Radio Maria, Italy: 

“The world today is covered with crimes and God sees everything from up there. And we can certainly say: He is full of sadness... People are living like sheep: they only eat, work and sleep... Many people do not think about doing good works or living the Word of God. They forget that their life on Earth will come to an end and after death the Heaven or Hell will come. ” 

 

On December 25, 2020, Marija said: 

“Man without God is nothing. God allowed this pandemic so that for us to stop and reflect. It was necessary to come this stupid virus for man to understand that he is nothing without God.” 

 

On February 25, 2021, Marija said: 

"This pandemic has served for man to return to his place as a man and for God to return to his place of God."
