Message to Marijana
“Dear children, I, the mother of all of you gathered here and the mother of the entire world, am blessing you with a moth-erly blessing and call you to set out on the way of humility. That way leads to the coming to know the love of my Son. My Son is almighty, He is in everything. If you, my children, do not become cognizant of this, then darkness/blindness rule in your soul. Only humility can heal you.
My children, I always lived hum-bly, courageously and in hope. I knew, I became cognizant that God is in us and we are in God. I am asking the same of you. I de-sire for all of you to be with me in eternity, because you are a part of me. I will help you on your way. My love will envelop you like a mantle and make of you apostles of my light – of God’s light. With the love that comes forth from humility you will bring light to where darkness/blindness rule. You will be bringing my Son who is the light of the world. I am al-

Message to Marija
“Dear children! You are not aware of the graces that you are living at this time in which the Most High is giving you signs for you to open and convert. Return to God and to prayer, and may prayer be-gin to reign in your hearts, fami-lies and communities, so that the Holy Spirit may lead and inspire you to every day be more open to God’s will and to His plan for each of you. I am with you and with the saints and angels intercede for you. Thank you for having re-sponded to my call.”

Comments from Listeners
We would like to hear from you! Send us your comments!radiomaria.us
as you gave yourself completely to the Eternal One,help us to say our own “yes”to the urgent call, as pressing as ever,to proclaim the good news of Jesus.
Filled with Christ’s presence,you brought joy to John the Baptist,making him exult in the womb of his mother.Brimming over with joy, you sang of the great things done by God.Standing at the foot of the cross with unyielding faith,you received the joyful comfort of the resurrection, and joined the disciples in awaiting the Spiritso that the evangelizing Church might be born.
Obtain for us now a new ardour born of the resurrection,that we may bring to all the Gospel of lifewhich triumps over death.Give us a holy courage to seek new paths,that the gift of unfading beautymay reach every man and woman
Virgin of listening & contemplation,Mother of love, Bride of the eternal wedding feast,pray for the Church, whose pure icon you are,that she may never be closed in on herselfor lose her passion for establishing God’s kingdom.
Star of the New Evangelization,Help us to bear radiant witness to communion, service,ardent and generous faith,Justice and love of the poor,that the joy of the Gospel may reach to the ends of the earth,Illuminating even the fringes of our world.Mother of the Living Gospel,Wellspring of happiness for God’s little ones,Pray for us! Amen. Alleluia!

Kyle Rodriguez has a unique take on his new position as the promotions coordinator for Radio Maria’s Southern region.
“As a marketing person with over 30 years’ experience, you DOZD\V� VWULYH� WR� ¿QG� WKH� SHUIHFW�thing to market. Found it in Radio Maria!” he said. “Everyone loves our Holy Mother, and who can say no to your Mother?”
Kyle’s primary task is to re-mind those who listen – and those who have never listened - just how important the station and its
programs are, in their everyday routine – 24/7. Kyle was intro-duced to Radio Maria by his sis-ter, Jan Bordelon in 2010. When the opportunity arose to help pro-mote the station, he jumped at the chance to market six stations in the Southern region. His du-ties include meeting with volun-teers at each of the six stations, coordinating Radio Maria events, meeting with local priests to in-form them of station updates and changes, and reaching out to po-tential listeners of all ages.
