She always talks about what we should do for them. They do not need you to judge and criticize them; they need your prayers and your love, because God will judge them as they were as priests, but God will judge you the way you treated your priests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our Lady says if you lose respect toward your priests, you will lose respect for your Church and for your God, as well. [In] the same way, during every second of the month apparition, she always says something about the importance of priests. For example, when she gives us her blessing, she says, \u201cI am giving you my motherly blessing, but the greatest blessing you can receive on earth is the blessing that comes from your priests. When they bless you, it is my Son, Himself, blessing you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">She also says, \u201cDo not forget to pray for your shepherds. Their priestly hands are blessed by my Son.\u201d That is why I am kindly asking of you, when you go back to your parishes, show to the others how we should respect our priests. If your priest is not doing [things] the way you think he should, do not judge him around. Take the rosary and pray to dear God for him. That would be the way to help him, and not to judge, because in this world that we live in, people judge and criticize so much, but there is so little love, and Our Lady desires that what we [all] may be seen through love and not to take into our own hands what only Our Heavenly Father, God, is supposed to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>I\u2019m sorry I cannot share with you more of what is supposed to happen [in the future], but I can tell you one thing. We have this time we are living in right now, and we have the time of the triumph of Our Lady\u2019s heart. Between these two times, there is a bridge, and that bridge is our priests. That is why Our Lady insists so much that we pray for them, because that bridge needs to be strong enough for every one of us to cross it\u2013because Our Lady said, \u201cAlongside them [the priests], I will triumph,\u201d which means that without priests, there is no triumph of Our Lady\u2019s heart.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just as in her message yesterday, Our Lady said not to judge our priests and not to forget that our Heavenly Father chose them. It is one thing for me to say what she said, but the expression of her face tells much more. I would say that she meant, \u201cHow do you dare to judge, because God is the one who is supposed to do it.\u201d How can we take into our own hands what only God Himself is supposed to do? Because if God invited the priests, God will be the judge. Who are we to do it?<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_361\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-361\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ministryvalues\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-361 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/616\/2016\/01\/2eeccb8051e03c3cdadd7c4bbb624fbc-300x128.jpg\" alt=\"2eeccb8051e03c3cdadd7c4bbb624fbc\" width=\"300\" height=\"128\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-361\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Please Like Mystic Post on Facebook \u2013 Thanks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_860\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-860\" style=\"width: 199px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/616\/2016\/01\/Christine_5514.jpg\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-860 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/616\/2016\/01\/Christine_5514-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"Christine_5514\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-860\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christine Watkins<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><br>\nTranscribed by Christine Watkins, author of\u00a0<\/span><\/b><a style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #061f4b;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Full-Grace-Miraculous-Conversion-Intercession\/dp\/1594712263\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1281307473&amp;sr=1-1\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><i><b><span style=\"color: blue;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Full of Grace: Miraculous Stories of Healing and Conversion through Mary\u2019s Intercession<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/i><\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIn the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.\u201d -Our Lady of Fatima On October 3, 2011, a day after the Medjugorje visionary, Mirjana, received her once a month apparition, she shared with pilgrims the following words, translated immediately into spoken English, by pilgrim guide, Miki Musa: \u201cIf anyone is really privileged for Our Lady, we [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2537,"featured_media":53,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-medjugorje"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Pray for Priests.
