By A Friend of Medjugorje

Witnessing the Death of Civilization by A Friend of Medjugorje 1

SPECIAL STATEMENT So as not to take for granted the credibility of the Medjugorje Apparitions, it is stated that the Medjugorje apparitions are not formally approved by the Church. Medjugorje Status May 1, 2015 A.D. No attempt is intended to pre-empt the Church on the validity of the Medjugorje Apparitions. They are private revelation waiting the Church s final judgment 1. In the interim, these private revelations are allowed by, and for, the faithful to have devotion to and to be spread legally by the Church. Devotion and the propagation of private revelations can be forbidden only if the private revelation is condemned because of anything it contains which contravenes faith and morals according to AAS 58 (1966) 1186 Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Medjugorje has not been condemned nor found to have anything against faith or morals, therefore it is in the grace of the Church to be followed by the faithful. By the rite of Baptism one is commissioned and given the authority to evangelize. By Baptism they share in the priesthood of Christ, in his prophetic and royal mission. 2 One does not need approval to promote or to have devotions to private revelations or to spread them when in conformity to AAS 58 (1966) 1186, as the call to evangelize is given when baptized. These apparitions have not been approved formally by the Church. Caritas of Birmingham, the Community of Caritas and all associated with it, realize and accept that the final authority regarding the Queen of Peace, Medjugorje and happenings related to the apparitions, rests with the Holy See in Rome. We at Caritas, willingly submit to that judgment. While having an amiable relationship with the Diocese of Birmingham and a friendly relationship with its bishop, Caritas of Birmingham as a lay mission is not officially connected to the Diocese of Birmingham, Alabama, just as is the Knights of Columbus. 3 The Diocese of Birmingham s official position on Caritas is neutral and holds us as Catholics in good standing. 1. The Church does not have to approve the apparitions. The Church can do as She did with the apparitions of Rue du Bac in Paris and the Miraculous Medal. The Church never approved these apparitions. She gave way to the people s widespread acceptance of the Miraculous Medal and thereby the Apparitions to St. Catherine. Sensus Fidelium (latin, meaning The Sense of the Faithful ), regarding Medjugorje, is that the sense of the people says that Mary is here (Medjugorje). 2. Catechism of the Catholic Church 2nd Edition 3. The Knights of Columbus also are not officially under the Church, yet they are very Catholic. The Knights of Columbus was founded as a lay organization in 1882, with the basic Catholic beliefs. Each local council appeals to the local Ordinary to be the Chaplain. The Knights of Columbus is still a lay organization, and operates with its own autonomy. See pages 21 24 for Pricing.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR The author of this book is also the author of the books Words From Heaven, How to Change Your Husband, I See Far, Look What Happened While You Were Sleeping, It Ain t Gonna Happen They Fired the First Shot 2012 hundreds of short books and other publications such as the Words of the Harvesters and the Caritas of Birmingham Newsletter. He has written more on Medjugorje and its messages than anyone in the world, producing life-changing writings and spiritual direction to countless numbers across the world, of all nationalities. He wishes to be known only as A Friend of Medjugorje. The author is not one looking in from the outside regarding Medjugorje, but one who is close to the events many times, right in the middle of the events about which he has written; a first-hand witness. Originally writing to only a few individuals in 1987, readership has grown to over 250,000 in the United States, with additional readers in over one hundred thirty foreign countries, who follow the spiritual insights and direction given through these writings. The author, when asked why he signs only as A Friend of Medjugorje, stated: I have never had an ambition or desire to write. I do so only because God has shown me, through prayer, that He desires this of me. So from the beginning, when I was writing to only a few people, I prayed to God and promised I would not sign anything; that the writings would have to 3

carry themselves and not be built on a personality. I prayed that if it was God s desire for these writings to be inspired and known, then He could do it by His Will and grace and that my will be abandoned to it. The Father has made these writings known and continues to spread them to the ends of the earth. These were Our Lord s last words before ascending: Be a witness to the ends of the earth. These writings give testimony to that desire of Our Lord to be a witness with one s life. It is not important to be known. It is important to do God s Will. For those who require ownership of these writings by the author in seeing his name printed on this work in order to give it more credibility, we state that we cannot reconcile the fact that these writings are producing hundreds of thousands of conversions, if not millions through grace, and are requested worldwide from every corner of the earth. The author, therefore, will not take credit for a work that, by proof of the impact these writings have to lead hearts to conversion, have been Spirit inspired with numbers increasing yearly, sweeping as a wave across the ocean. Indeed in this case, crossing every ocean of the earth. Our Lady gave this author a direct message for him through the visionary, Marija, of Medjugorje, in which Our Lady said to him to witness not with words but through humility. It is for this reason that he wishes to remain simply A Friend of Medjugorje. Caritas of Birmingham 4

Medjugorje The Story in Brief A VILLAGE SEES THE LIGHT is the title of a story which Reader s Digest published in February 1986. It was the first major news on a mass public scale that told of the Virgin Mary visiting the tiny village of Medjugorje, Bosnia-Hercegovina. At that time this village was populated by 400 families. It was June 24, 1981, the Feast of John the Baptist, the proclaimer of the coming Messiah. In the evening, around 5:00 p.m., the Virgin Mary appeared to two young people, Mirjana Dragičević* and Ivanka Ivanković*. Around 6:40 p.m. the same day, Mirjana and Ivanka, along with four more young people, Milka Pavlović*, the little sister of Marija, Ivan Ivanković, Vicka Ivanković*, and Ivan Dragičević saw the Virgin Mary. The next day, June 25, 1981, along with Mirjana, Ivanka, Vicka and Ivan Dragičević, Marija Pavlović* and Jakov Čolo also saw the Virgin Mary, bringing the total to six visionaries. Milka Pavlović* and Ivan Ivanković only saw Our Lady once, on that first day. These six have become known as and remain the visionaries. * Names at the time of the apparitions, they are now married with last names changed. 5

These visionaries are not related to one another. Three of the six visionaries no longer see Our Lady on a daily basis. As of July 2015, the Virgin is still appearing everyday to the remaining three visionaries; that s well over 15,031 apparitions. The supernatural event has survived all efforts of the Communists to put a stop to it, many scientific studies, and even the condemnation by the local bishop; yet, the apparitions have survived, giving strong evidence that this is from God because nothing and no one has been able to stop it. For over thirty-four years, the apparitions have proved themselves over and over and now credibility is so favorable around the world that the burden of proof that this is authentic has shifted from those who believe to the burden of proof that it is not happening by those opposed to it. Those against the apparitions are being crushed by the fruits of Medjugorje millions and millions of conversions which are so powerful that they are changing and will continue to change the whole face of the earth.

Witnessing the Death of Civilization I run from hate I run from prejudice, I run from pessimists but I run too late I run my life, or is it running me Run from my past, I run too fast Or too slow it seems When lies become the truth That s when I run to You This world keeps spinning faster To a new disaster So I run to You I run to You When it all starts coming undone You re the only One I run to I run to You* Never before have so many lies been put forth in society than in our time.

government, educational institutions, the money system, relationships and a thousand more things which could be named, the lie of it all abounds. If you scoff at this statement, you are very clouded in your ability to see what is going on around you. To the degree one looks with the glasses, known as Our Lady s messages, to judge the condition of man s present culture and where it is headed is to the degree you will see the lie of it all. Where is the truth? Pontius Pilate asked Jesus, What is truth? Our Lady has told us what is truth. Our Lady said on June 16, 1983: God is truth The absence of truth means there is an absence of God in the world. This holds true for the Christian s heart as well. Many Christians, Our Lady says, live like pagans. 1984 1985 There are many Christians who live like pagans Therefore, many Christians do not have God in their hearts in the first place, and therefore, do not accept truth, despite the multitudes who would believe that they have truth. Because truth holds together and builds culture, untruth leads to the culture spinning faster and further apart, heading it towards disaster. As culture falls 8

more towards lies than towards truth, it changes into a civilization. Civilizations are what we look at as people in the past. All cultures which turned to lies became civilizations. Our present civilization is just such a civilization which is without a future. It is no longer a culture built on truth, which was what caused it to thrive and grow. Rather, we have become a civilization based in lies and, therefore, we are in decline. The culture is dying, as the judgment of truth is against this present generation s wayward ways. How can it be said as full truth that our civilization is without a future? The judgment of truth is the judgment of God. Jesus is the only future. If God is Truth, Jesus, Son of God, is Truth. It is Truth, Our Lady Herself, who said Jesus is the only future. Our Lady said on December 25, 2008: without Him (Jesus), you have no future The world is rejecting Jesus. It is happening through the courts, the choice of entertainments and lifestyles, in government and politics. In virtually every aspect of society, Jesus is being rejected. But Truth s light will drive away all darkness. Being that the world is in darkness, it is, therefore, headed for a crash. Though at the moment this is prophetically stated, the present way of life of this society will become known 9

as a civilization that joined the many others of history. Yet the moral decline of those past civilizations did not reach the measure of depravity we, in our time, have. A grossly erred civilization built on lies cannot, will not, nor has ever withstood the forces of confrontation when truth was laid in its path. The stone wall of truth crushes that which runs into it. This civilization is headed straight for the wall of God s truth. When God visits the earth, He actually comes among His people. The confrontation between the two conflicting sides will result in only one being victorious. It will be a clear victory. The track record of survival of all civilizations in history who pit their lies vs. truth is 0 victories. When God comes among His people, His track record of truth vs. lies is 100% victorious. When evil matures to the point of no return, history shows that God s decisions are decisive. The Messenger of God comes among His children. God tells the Messenger what to say to His people. The Woman tells us God s message, His desires, His plans, His warning of satan who will rob you of the joy of life. Our Lady said on July 25, 1985: listen to my messages and then you will be able to live everything that God tells me to convey to you 10

By contrast the voices of society tell us satan s message, satan s desires, satan s warning that God is the one who will rob you of the joy of life. Today, September 21, 2010, as this was being written, we were faxed a report from a supporter that a bureau made up of economic academies declared the 2008 2010 recession is officially over! Do you believe this? Do you believe it because this is declared by the Learned who are known as experts? Or does the Holy Spirit tell you something else than the academies? What does Scripture tell you? It tells you this is another lie, a lie to make you not sure of the way Our Lady is calling and guiding you in a change of direction. Our Lady said on February 21, 1982: I will guide you on a sure way. The lie is to convince you this civilization is recovering, so just relax. We are going back to the economic days of 2007 Boom days! Yes, the academic bureau panel said there are still difficulties ahead, but the recession is over!! We tell you it cannot be over, it is impossible. How can it not be over? How is this impossible? Our Lady s messages and the Scriptures show it to be so. When there is a spiritual recession, it will result in a 11

recession of the world s well-being. You will not, you cannot be in spiritual decline and the civilization and its other elements prosper. The way of life is intrinsically connected to a good or bad well-being, depending on the moral condition of society. This is why we must oppose the acceptance of sin in society and in our laws which would protect sin as normal behavior. For example, it is not accepted of those who claim a right to run a red light, that they should have the freedom to do so. Why do we not allow such a right? What if they say: I cannot help it. I confess I was born a red light runner. I, therefore, want the public to accept me for who and what I am. Would this be absurd? Of course it would. But far more absurd is to accept and give rights to immoral behavior. Throughout our culture, there are agendas set in motion with countless efforts to force society to accept as normal behavior, abnormal behavior. This always, always leads to the destruction of the culture, turning it into a past civilization, if there is no public resistance and the reversing of these agendas and laws. Many Christians think: Well, if this group or another group wants the right to live sin, they should have that right. It s their business. Many Christians say, Who am I to say others cannot be socially accepted if they are living in sin? Then who are you to say a stoplight runner, who 12

believes it is his right to run red lights, should not have that right? Of course, you would say, No, you have no right even though you believe you should have the right to run a red light. But why? Because there are things that are right and wrong by nature. There is a black and white difference. There is no gray zone. In fact, as clear as this example is as to the damaging consequences of being a red light runner, this example still leans more to a gray zone, when compared to the sinful behavior that many Christians are giving way to having protected in our law and culture. In this latter scenario, there is no area of grayness. Studying history, the prevalent immorality cultured in society is shown more dangerous than people who began running red lights as their right. Running red lights would hurt or kill some. But public acceptance of sin and allowing it to enter the life of the culture, without resistance and stopping it, leads to the whole public being hurt and killed. God s judgment visits not only those who choose to live depraved lifestyles, but also those who accept it into society. Do you not get it? Do you not see the lie? Do you not see the truth? You cannot live, go to church and yet accept pagan ways in the culture without the whole civilization dying. With acceptance, even though you do not agree with the sin, you become an accessory. The attitude that says, Who 13

am I to say to another, we will not accept blatant sin in the culture, will cause you to be judged with the sin. So, what is truth? All that is of God. So, what is the lie? All that is of satan. We cannot accept, as a culture, by or through apathy, the change of common law that would allow trends or protective laws which sanitize sins. To do so would make us a people traveling the path that would lead into a stone wall of truth, wrecking civilization, as once was said, into the trash heap of history. * Our Lady is coming, as God s Messenger of truth to give us warnings from God to come back to His way, His commandments, His love, His mercy, and His forgiveness. For those who do not, a stone wall is around the curve. The Community of Caritas mission is to culturalize the message around the world with the written word, is to give how to s through the message to transform and birth new cultures which will rise up out of the trash heap of history. Paralleling this at the same time, the written messages will be the means which will annihilate present civilization into the trash heap of those societies who fell throughout history. Though many will not fully grasp what is written, the going away of life as we know it, and how crushing it will be, cannot be * Ronald Reagan 14

measured or even imagined by all in the present. The destruction of the present and the birth of new cultures will experience the labor of birth in very painful ways. All that can be said is, now is the time. Now is Her time, and all who contribute to Her efforts will walk toward the light of truth. It won t be found in other religions. While respect for other religions is a Christian tenet, we cannot deny Our Lady s words to them. December 25, 2008 Without Him (Jesus), you have no future All else, all other religions, all movements, sects, and ways will fail. Why? Because Our Lady says so. July 25, 2010 I desire to lead all of you to my Son, your Savior. You are not aware that without Him you do not have joy and peace, nor a future or eternal life In the Hope of Truth In the Love of Our Lady, A Friend of Medjugorje 15

They Fired the first shot 2012 By A Friend of Medjugorje Chinese warrior, Sun-tzu, taught that in order to win every battle, you must know yourself and you must know your enemy. We know that the United States of America is facing an attack unlike anything it has ever experienced in its history. Why are we losing battle after battle in the face of an all-advancing evil? It s because we don t know ourselves and we don t know our enemy. After reading They Fired the First Shot 2012, you will learn how to know yourself, you will learn how to know your enemy, and you will know what to do. But will you do what this book shows you to do? After reading They Fired the First Shot 2012, you will not be able to keep yourself from following the directives contained within. You will read and learn many new thoughts and truths that will have an atomic bomb effect on your thinking. What you abided by before is not what you will continue to abide by. They Fired the First Shot 2012 is not just another book telling you what is going on. It is the only book that is a complete book, showing you the first step to the last step of what to do to protect yourself, your family and save our nation. As you set out upon the path this book will lead you on prepare to be stunned, then shocked; prepare to feel helpless, then hopeless, moved to the edge of despair, then seeing a turnaround that maybe there s a way out, growing hopeful, to full confidence, to feeling the impulse to begin formulating your own personal plan and finally, taking action that grows into a full-scale reaction of having your future placed back into your own hands again. This book will become your cause to act, to spread, to promote, with all your effort, with all your being to save our nation. It is the solution that no one else has. Most importantly, do not look through this book. It must unfold for you starting at page one, reading page by page. If there ever was a read not to peek through, this is it. You will ruin the impact of the book in how you will graduate from page to page in understanding the next page. Do not even look at the chapter titles in the beginning. Just start reading from page one (after reading the foreword). 16

It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles. Patrick Henry Why have unbelievers, today, been allowed to get in positions to turn our laws upside down, destroying our Nation? Why are the unbelievers in offensive positions, while we, Christians, find ourselves in defensive positions? Why do individual States have to pass amendments to defend marriage? Why can t we get Godly leaders in office? Why have we lost authority over wickedness? Why do the godless proudly parade their un mentionable and illicit lifestyles that cannot even be de scribed in these writings, their abortions, their decadence, all the while imposing them forcibly upon society as the norm, flaunting in our faces that You cannot stop us!? 18

W hat is a lie? Do you believe lies, accepting them to be true? Lies abound in today s world; so much so, that it can be said that never has the world not only had so many lies, but so many people who believe the lies; so much so, that people everywhere form opinions, beliefs, philosophies, and make major decisions in their lives based on lies. The voices we hear daily fill our lives with lies. How do you discern what to believe and what not to believe? Because so many do not believe truth, we are seeing the death of civilization. A truth that is coming but won t be believed until it happens. To believe that life as we know it will continue is a lie. To believe life as we know it will not continue is truth. The judgement is cast, and the judgement will prove this truth. 100 Our Lady Queen of Peace Drive Sterrett, AL 35147 USA 205-672-2000 USA mej.com all your Medjugorje information Printed by Caritas of Birmingham.
