Founder and President of the mission of Hope and Mercy, Father Andre has learned the secret to safety, joy and peace. Love God and one another. Now, let us spend 33 minutes on the Lord’s day, retuning ourselves to the truth of love in the hands of God. Praise be the most holy name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ now and forever and ever am in. Good Holy Sunday morning, my dear brothers and sisters to you, to all of those who are joining us on this beautiful radio show as we spend today, these moments, these moments, we spend a space in the Lord and being with Him. In front of me, today on the Sunday, it is the pleasure and honor to tell you, I am discovering the world of podcasts, we are turning our radio show into a podcast. The vision and the view you were seeing is the pilgrimage where we go places in the world, that meant something to populations, meant something to humanity, meant something to locals, or meant something even to the political history and the political reality, the military reality of the world. Today on the Sunday, September 8, the church and Christianity all over the world celebrate the birthday of our lady, the version Mary, Mother of God. For those who are able to see the podcast, you are looking at the mountain of the cross. The mountain of the cross, this wonderful and beautiful place in Bosnia. You know, Bosnia is in the old country of Yugoslavia under the old USSR. Today Bosnia is its own country, neighboring Croatia, neighboring Montenegro, neighboring Macedonia, and other areas they used to be known as the areas of the Illyricum at the time of the Roman Empire, and the Balkan areas as well. And it happens that doing a pilgrimage into this place has become a destination for millions of pilgrims on daily basis inside a little town in Bosnia. A little town that is bordering exactly, I think it’s the first town you get to once you cross the borders between Croatia and Bosnia called Mediogorgy. And of course, you will know from the view why it is Mediogorgy because it’s this little bit of a high plane, surrounded by mountains. So the town that is in the middle of the mountains, it is known that this town has been a place for a lot of prayers, a refuge for people. You know, people do not know that Bosnia, Croatia, the old Czechoslovakia, the old Yugoslavia, actually were part of the Ottoman Empire and for between 600 and 800 years. Christianity here was definitely not allowed and people in order for them to pray, the priest used to dress up in burguesy. People worked in fields, as you can see, people tended to divine. They planted vineyards, they planted wheat, they have fig trees, there is a lot of olives around us, and there is a lot of yield and fruit trees, and there is this little donkey who is a friend of mine on this beautiful Sunday morning. The donkey has played an important role in the history of salvation, so we are walking in pilgrimage with on daily basis 25 to 30,000 people, that is 25 to 30,000 people, that come to this place, which is in the middle almost of nowhere, a town that is in the middle of the mountains. I was indicating to you this beautiful mountain of the cross, because it is significant for the history of Christianity. On this mountain of the cross, Pope John 23, Pope John 23, when he was the, I believe, still bishop in 1933, in 1933, at the celebration of the probably 1,900 years anniversary for the crucifixion of the Christian church. They brought from the Vatican, piece of the wood of the cross, and they buried it on top of the mountain of the cross. Right there. And funny enough, people come here and they take pictures and photos of the sky, seeing the light that is in the sky. On these two mountains, there is two hills, one facing the other. Right in front, there is the mountain that is in June 24-25. Of 1982, I believe, apparitions happen in Medjugorje, in this area of Bosnia, at the time, was still of the old Yugoslavia. And they say that our lady appeared in this place, and here she spoke to about six children on this hill, on this mountain, right above these beautiful vineyards of red grapes and white grapes. Lara wine is being done here as well. And when she appears, she said to them three times, “Near, near, near.” A word that is stand in a local Basin language, which is a Slavic language, for peace, peace, peace. Of course, our lady always spoke about words of peace for some time now, right? I mean, at least if we look at the history of the apparitions in 1500 thuries, and that is in America, in America, in our beautiful continent, in Mexico, our lady of Guadalupe. There, our lady also spoke in somehow, even though not directly, but about the integration, the importance of treating the local people as human beings. She saved the Zillians and thousands, and hundreds of thousands of people from Meen massacre, because of the Europeans when they first came, and they met with the local tribes. And they may have not treated them as equal in humanity. So, of course, there are our lady launched an international, a universal message about the human dignity, and how the local culture is to be valued, and to be discovered. And also a culture that is in need for God’s salvation, and it signs and it symbols, exist multifactors, that actually they speak, and they show that those people, also probably the Asak at that time, are in need for God’s salvation. And of course, our lady appears to Juan Diego, and then with his mentor, he was dressed up with, it was shown, it was imprinted on that December 12, of 1,532 or 1,534, not sure exactly the year, but in the 1,530s, it was imprinted on her beautiful face, and her beautiful image on the telma of Juan Diego. And similar to this, in Las Alettes and France in 1842s as well, our lady also appeared to children in Las Alettes and the Alps mountains of France, and she asked that the parents on Sundays do not go to work. They start going to church. You know, France in the 1800s was totally a socialist country, probably the earliest form of communism, within the Bolshevik revolution is the mother of communism. You know, I can argue that the French Revolution, actually there is a dark side for the French Revolution, you know, everything has positive and negative. I think one of the sides of the French Revolution that may not be an honorable side is its persecution for God, its persecution for the church, its persecution for the face. You know, the French Revolution actually not only ended the Catholic reign inside the France in a name of Fraternité, Egalité and Liberté, but also it actually ended the church as we know it in France as a free institution. Not only this, immediately after the French Revolution, the reign of terror began in France. And then under the reign of terror, which lasted probably sometimes they see about 10 months, others argue almost for all the 1800s. And I can argue that the reign of terror in France actually never ended till today France is still somehow, a master’s to faith specifically to the Catholic faith. If you look at the sad incidents, I do not know why France are of all other countries, more than any other place in Europe. We have all these stories of church burning. You know, we thought that the incident of the burning of Notre Dame de Paris would be probably the only one happen as a burning church basically in France. In fact, at that year when the burning, the fire that took place, the d’Ocupula and the seapull of Notre Dame de Paris, probably 42 more churches were burning. This year about a week ago, also another church that’s important as Notre Dame de Paris burned in France from top to down. And nobody even said anything. Funny, lot of accidents are happening inside the church buildings in France. I wonder what would that be. So to come back to this beautiful Medjugorje, this is a mountain of the apparitions right there where our lady appeared and she told the children on that hill, she told them, “Mir, Mir, Mir, Mir.” So that means peace, peace, peace. There is what I like to share with you this little message that our lady, they say here, she gave to me a janna on November 2nd of 2002, you know, November 2nd, the Feasal of Oaxanez. And also, the day of November 1st and November 2nd. And according to the message that Mir, Mir, Mir, received and that she herself said, “Our lady would say, “Dear children, my motherly heart suffers. “As I am looking at my children, who do not love the truth? Those who are hiding it. As I look at my children, who do not pray with their feelings and actions. “I am sad, as I am saying to my son, that many of my children no longer have faced. They do not know him, my son.” Again, this is Father André, a good Sunday morning, was Father André. And on these are 33 minutes with the Lord that we spend with the KLZ and Good Sunday morning with KNUS. Coming to you on this new form of a live podcast, coming from a place of worship, from a place of apparitions, from a place of mystery, from a place of Mary and apparitions. A major sanctuary that is vitted on daily basis between 25 to 30,000 people are present at Mass on daily basis at Saint James Parish in Mediubori. Lot of Americans come. Confessions here happen in over 70 languages, in over 70 languages. We call this the “shower of renewal”. The most confessions happen worldwide in any given place. Confession is the sacrament of reconciliation where people come and they come with repentance spirit, they come and they lay. They are sent before God in front of the priest and of course they receive the absolution and the repentance that they need to pray or the penance that they need to pray. In this place in Mediubori, on daily basis, hundreds of confessions, an average of 450 confessions are being heard every day in this place. So huge place for prayer, for spiritual renewal. For climbing also onto mountains, there are two mountains in particular, the mountain of the apparition where our lady in 1980s appeared. And here in this Bosnian town of Mediubori, which was part of the Old USSR, was a part of the Old Yugoslavia and on the hill where she appeared to six children who are still alive today and of course are grown-ups and she told them near, near, near. And there is a piece, piece, piece. And also something mysterious about this Mediubori or the village or the town that is in between mountains in this Old Bosnian is the second hill where the sun is now rising, where the Holy Church brought a relic of the wood of the cross. And planted it on that mountain that overlooks Montenegro, all of Bosnia, all of Croatia and all of Eastern European of the Balkan countries. In an area where Christians were being persecuted for over between 600 and 800 years, a priest could not even say the mass or be known. Register of baptisms, you know, I think one of the wives of the political candidates to the American presidency is from this area, from the Czech area actually, not from Yugoslavia but from Slovenia. That would be Mrs. Melania Trump, she lived actually in her days such a life where Christians here had to practice their faith in hiding Catholics and Orthodox could not practice their faith in public. They had to do it in hiding. People here would recognize and still carry photos and pictures of a priest dressed up in Turkish outfits, we call them Burgessi. So they would come here and in secret they would go visit the homes of the faithful, they tried to cataclyze, they tried to celebrate massages in the houses of the faithful and then they would baptize and carry the sacraments in the houses of the faithful for hundreds of years. There are no records of people baptisms, no churches. So maybe Burgessi was known during the entire time to be a little town of a player, tended in beautiful vines and vineyards. It reminds me of the time when Jesus would go into Galilee and to high Galilee between Israel and Lebanon and his disciples would love, would eat from the wheat when it was a silge green, from the vines, from the vineyards. From the fictories, a beautiful and similar, if you may want to call it typography, like the same type of beautiful sight scenes that we could see in South Lebanon and in Israel, you would see here as well. So with you today we are trying this a new form of podcast being a life in an area to bring you with us spiritually and if you can go to missionofhopeandmursy.org, missionofhopeandmursy.org, and sign up to receive in our frequent messages. We will send you the link to the podcast and we will send you the link which will be put on our YouTube channel for missionofhopeandmursy. And hopefully as this podcast catch on with us today, after week after week, we will take you to more places to reeducate us, re-installing our lives as Americans, deeper faith, deeper hope, deeper love. So today we are together talking to one another and praising the Lord, taking this pilgrimage with hundreds of thousands of people coming from various nations and various countries in the world to Medjugorje. And we were talking about the message of our lady, namely a message that came to Mirjana on November 2nd, 2018. And I continue what our lady is saying. That is why I call you, “A parcels of my love.” You strive to look to the very depth in human hearts and there you are certain to find the little hidden treasure. To look in this way is mercy from the Heavenly Father, to seek the good even where there is the greatest evil, to strive, to comprehend each other and not to judge. That is what my son is asking of you. And I as a mother, I am calling you to listen to him. My children continues our lady in her message to Mirjana on November 2nd, 2018. The Spirit is mightier than the flesh and carried by love and actions. It overcomes all obstacles. Do not forget, my son has loved you and loves you. His love is with you. And in you, when you are one with him, he is the light of the world and no one and nothing will be able to stop him in the final glory. Therefore, a parcels of my love do not be afraid to witness to the truth. Witness it with anto the Asim, with works, with love, with your sacrifice and above all in humility. Witness the truth to all those who have not come to know my son. I will be alongside you. I will encourage you. Witness the love which never ends because it comes from the Heavenly Father who is eternal and who offers eternity to all of my children. The Spirit of my son will be alongside you. I knew I am calling you. My children, pray for your shepherds, pray that the love of my son may lead them. Thank you. So, this was the message of our Lady to Mjuzana in 2018 on November 2nd, given here in Mediogurgia in this little town. From where today we are leading with you on the Sunday of September 8, in which the Christianity and the Church celebrate the Feast Day of the Birthday of our Lady, the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. And you heard this beautiful message that our Lady gave according to the visionary Mjuzana to her through her to the entire world. But let us take a moment and together I like us to pray today as it is Sunday and to praise the Lord. Let us today pray with Psalm 145 before we continue our show. O God, come to my assistance, O Lord, make haste to help me, glory me to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning is now. And we will be forever a man, hallelujah. Day by day, I shall bless you, Lord, hallelujah. I will give you glory, O God, my King. I will bless your name forever. I will bless you day after day and praise your name forever. The Lord is great, highly to be praised. His greatness cannot be measured. H to A shall proclaim your works. Shall declare your mighty deeds. Shall speak of your splendor and glory. Tell the tale of your wonderful works. They will speak of your terrible deeds. Recound your greatness and might. They will recall your abundant goodness. H to A shall ring out your justice. The Lord is kind and full of compassion. Slow to anger, abounding in love. How good is the Lord to all, compassionate to all his creatures. Day by day, I shall bless you, Lord, hallelujah. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Again, my friends, good Holy Sunday morning to you, walking in the fields between vineyards and between those beautiful palm granite trees and the thick trees and the olive trees and the vine that we see. You know, it reminds me of the time of Jesus Christ, our Lord, when He would go around and of course He would be talking with His disciples and speaking to them about the importance of the kingdom of God, about the importance of the kingdom of heaven. And of course, it reminds me as well of the dangers that these disciples and these apostles with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ would face on daily basis. For instance, imagine them walking in the fields in areas where there are not too many people during heat time, just like we are now in August and September and the spark of the world. There is an extreme heat and well, you know, they’re not feeling snakes, they’re not feeling no evil, just what we hear in Psalm 20, third with David the King. The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall fear and pastors, greens, he gives me a last meal, quiet water, he leaves me. This is my prayer that I would pray with you on this beautiful day from here, from Mediagorgy, from where our lady appeared in 1980s to these six little shepherds. What is Mediagorgy? And this is the thing I like to cover with you today on this podcast and on this radio show of Good Sunday morning was Father Andrey and on these 33 minutes that we will be praising the Lord together. So I was telling you on this area of the world, which was the old USSR and this area of the world, which was the old Yugoslavia in the Bosnia made of very, very, very high mountains, a beautiful river. A small town in Mediagorgy, our lady appears and three times on June 1983 or 1982 would say to the children on Eve or the Feast of Saint John, the baptism, June 24/21, she would tell them, peace, peace, peace, near, near, near. The context for today’s presentation, for today’s dialogue and conversation with you has to do in fact with the destination where all the nations are coming at this point. And this destination is Mediagorgy. Between now and September 14, you know, we will see and we will talk together to you on the smallest of September about the signs that our lady gave here in Mediagorgy. The sign of the exaltation of the Holy Cross. And what is this phenomenon according to which our lady, the mother of God, a topic and a person of heaven, an emissary from heaven, the mother of God, for the Catholic and Orthodox Church known as the Seo Tocos, a lady who is a sign of contradiction inside the Protestantism and inside the reforms. Yet our lady who appeared in 1917 in Fatima in Portugal and there she gave three secrets to the little shepherds of Fatima to Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco, in which she told them the entire world depends on the prayer of the most Holy Rosary. The entire world depends on the acts of charity that Catholics and Christians in general and people of God will are set to do in order for the world to be saved from the fire of hell, in order for the first world war to end and in order for the second world war for not to happen. And the worst part is laying in the third secret of Fatima where our lady gave a third secret and she told the little Lucia that unless the world depends. And unless her desire is obeyed and Russia is consecrated for the sacred heart of these, for the triumph of her immaculate heart that a third war will break in the world and then it will bring a lot of sadness to the world. This is in short what people saw and the apparitions would started also in 1980 to hear in Medjugorje as a completion or as a full revelation, a continuation for the messages that our lady has shown in Fatima in Portugal. This is what I wanted to share with you for us who are following us on this good Sunday morning with father Andre and of course next Sunday will speak more do not forget to go on our website mission of hope emergency dot org that is mission of hope emergency dot org and please show us your continuous support so we can continue sharing with you advocacy and awareness and charity with our brothers and sisters in the world and always working for the peace and award. The love of our God the father the grace of the only son and unity and indwelling and the consolation and the defense and the protection of the Holy Spirit to be with us. Amen. And now my friends we shall continue on our journey with the 33 minutes with our Lord talking that you know between now the feast of the birth of our lady which we celebrate the Sunday and then the next Sunday will be celebrated in the feast of the exaltation of the cross. People wonder about the exaltation of the cross right what was it about what happened what is this feast about this is a feast which was instituted as a commemoration for a historical event that has to do with the empire with the Roman Empire. You know the Roman Empire raised at least 10 waves of major persecution against the Christians at the time since you know Jesus Christ’s crucifixion all the way till about 306 even 313 even 350 even after constant time the great Christianity was being persecuted Judaism was being persecuted and both Christians and Jews had to stay. And to live underground with you today from Bosnia from Medjugorje from this little town that is in between mountains between the mountain of the cross and a mountain of the apparition of our lady who spoke and gave message in 1980s to six little children to speak and to do work for peace peace peace. I father Andre and the team of the mission of hope and mercy will be reporting to you and will be developing this conversation so we and our homes we are our places of work in the United States as we are driving our cars as we are going on the Sunday morning to our places of worship or having our coffee or water or tea or capuchino or preparing for whatever taken longer naps probably and for those who still do not go to church I beg you and I urge you pray. Have your sanctuary even in your own home little bit have a place where you can have the Bible have a place where you can have a small cross above the Bible to candle and for those who believe in the veneration of the saints and specially the veneration of our lady please have a nice beautiful icon of our lady as such for our lady mother of God the immaculate conception that today we celebrate her birthday on the Sunday of September 8 and started a new beautiful happens for the sake of peace and award. For the sake of the conversion of all centers to our Lord and say we’re just price for the sake of peace in America it’s unity that America will remind a shining city on top of that hill because I’m afraid if we lose the light in America America may not be lost but America might turn to become a dark power a power for darkness in the world a power that might actually persecute the faithful persecute families persecute the family. Prosecutes. Prosecutes. Oh, persecute laws. Prosecutes of humanity the way we know it. Prosecutes of religion. Prosecutes of expression. And these are not warning signs that I’m sharing with you out of fear. Now this is our sacred duty that was given to us by God and we can only achieve it to maintain America the way we know it to maintain it as a beacon of light in the soul as a hero that can save many nations who have been and darkness so much for so long just like places like this. Place for instance where the governed by the address of communism for that probably little less than a century and before that by a persecuting evil power in the autumn and pie where expression of faith was not allowed. This is what we’re talking about. This is the expression of the memorial of the feast of the Holy Cross in relationship to these beautiful apparitions that our lady the mother of God keeps doing in very sensitive area. Just put yourself in this context in history. How is it possible? How courageous that should have been that in 1980s in the middle of an area where there is communism all over and the old Yugoslavia in Bosnia. You know, and the Balkan countries which we hear about in the news. You know, we always hear in the news about the Balkan country and we do not want to welcome us United States. You know, this is the only difference between the 19th and the Balkan countries and we have unity. They have division. There we have the people who live under the rule of law together with respect each other. We have a mutual respect regardless of religion, regardless of race, regardless of color, regardless of political views. Except that here and the Balkan countries people killed each other. People were killed. They lived under oppression for centuries and centuries. So the feast of the Holy Cross that we will explain more and more and more for the next Sunday show has a beautiful sign here on this mountain where the sun rises and behind which the sun sets the mountain of the cross, the crucifix. And on that cross there is an actual relic from the wood of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ which was brought here by Vatican authorities and it was laid on this cross in the midst of a communist country at the time. And to celebrate the 1900 year anniversary for the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ in 1933. I don’t know you might counted to see in 2033 the church will also celebrate now I believe the 2000 year anniversary if I’m not mistaken for the crucifixion of our Lord. And this year the 25 that we come to celebrate will mark the Jubilee of the 25th year inside the 21st century from Medjugorje, from this place where our lady called for peace. Coming to the veneration of the Sunday in which we will commemorate the miracle that constant time the great saw in the sky when God appeared to him before he even became Christian when he was still in emperor of Rome coming to unite Rome and to open the gates of Rome, sign appeared to him in the sky and the voice telling him, “Each Sennius wins shit and the sign you will conquer your enemies.” We will conquer our enemies with the sign of the cross with the love for one another with pardon and peace and mercy. So let us praise the Lord Jesus Christ now and forever. And thank you so much for listening to this beautiful radio show 33 minutes on the Lord’s Day. Father Andre, God bless us all.
