 Here's my podcast this week! I am sorry I didn't get it posted until tonight. PLEASE listen and share -PLEASE PRAY for our work in the Middle East -and PLEASE, in your mercy, consider making a donation for the printing and distribution of books in Afghanistan. Thank you!!

Title: Episode 112: Mary Kloska Speaks About Mission Work in the Middle East
Description: In this episode, Mary Kloska tells her listeners about the incredible mission work being done in Pakistan and Afghanistan. This work was begun by the little seeds of her books being published and distributed among faithful Catholics in these countries, and yet it has taken on a missionary dimension even among non-Catholic Christians and Muslims, Hindus, etc., through the Holy Spirit forming missionaries among those being persecuted for their Catholic faith. She describes the great present needs of prayers and funding to continue and expand mission endeavors in Afghanistan. And she briefly tells of some saints connected to the Middle East and several of who suffered at the hands of Muslims who we ask to intercede from heaven in this work.

Afghanistan...


 AFGHANISTAN!

As I have shared before, we are working with the underground Church in Afghanistan to support them through prayer and spiritual nourishment. We are the ONLY outside support they are receiving at this time (at least amongst the Catholics we are serving).
We have sent thousands of books to them, as well as two missionaries to help form prayer groups. They have requested additional copies of my book 'Out of the Darkness' in Dari, since reading about the interior suffering of Christ is giving them great healing, strength and hope. They have also requested 1000 copies of my book 'Mornings with Mary: A Rosary Prayer Book' and so we are translating it into Dari.
I have had to pay for this all myself. We usually don't pay translators -but considering that only the Muslims we have contact with speak the languages well, we hired a very trustworthy Muslim to translate it and then the translations are being double checked by Catholics. This is the FIRST TIME the Hail Mary has been translated into the native Dari language of Afghanistan... and through our work we are equipping the people -especially children -with a weapon of hope that cannot be overcome -it is the weapon of the Rosary and a deep relationship with Mama Mary.
The people have also requested copies of my icon of Our Lady of Pakistan -with the purple rose of suffering on the top left corner representing the persecuted Church in Afghanistan. We have printed a few hundred of these icons and are having them blessed by an Archbishop (along with exorcised salt) and will send them along with the books.
One of the greatest miracles of these books and prayer groups in the Middle East are the converts, which I cannot share with you. But I am allowed to tell you anonymously that our Dari translator is desiring to convert after working on translating the Catholic Prayers in my Mornings with Mary prayer book. His story is below.
WE STILL HAVE A GREAT NEED OF HELP FROM YOU! We desperately need $4000 for this project for Afghanistan. This covers translations, printing of 2000 books, 300 icons and then transportation of them to the underground Church. I also suggested that they send large quantities of exorcised salt to these people to sprinkle around their homes to protect them. I am literally begging you not only for prayers, but for donations. There is probably no other Catholics suffering greater in the world than in Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover. And you can help them -simply by helping me give them the tools they need to grow in prayer. Prayer can change the world.
Thank you, in advance, for your generosity! Come Holy Spirit!
"Thursday, September 15
Regarding the translation updates, he has translated five chapters of “Mornings with Mary” into Dari.
The translator has shared with me. He is deeply touched with these prayers. He acknowledged that for the first time after reading and translating these prayers he is feeling peace in his heart.
The translator is really inspired and touched with these prayers. He has never heard about these prayers. He hesitantly shared that these prayers are urging him to convert. This is a miracle. I told him that we would talk about this. I don’t have a separate and safe place for these converts, therefore I am always extra careful about this. But these prayers have really touched the soul of the translator.
The presence of the Holy Spirit and Our lady is very much visible in this project.
And, our printer has started Icon’s printing as well. I assured him and the translator to pay them when I receive the money.
Come Holy Spirit.
September 19, 2022
The printing of icons of our Lady of Pakistan is complete. I will collect it tomorrow. Then I will talk to Archbishop (depending on his availability) or any other priest to bless these icons and salt.
Regarding the translation, he has completed seven chapters.
The translator is deeply touched with these prayers. When he read the “Hail Mary” and reflected on this prayer, he shared that women in his culture and tribe are considered as a thing and treated very badly. He was deeply touched to know that all women are sacred and loved by God. When his wife read Hail Mary, full of grace, she also had tears in her eyes. He told me that the prayers that he has translated into Dari, are being recited every day in his house by his family. It is a miracle in indeed that how Our lady has touched his and his family life. his whole family (especially women in his family) are grateful for this book “Mornings with Mary”.
We are continually praying to God to provide for this project as the salvation of many souls in Afghanistan is waiting for these books.
Come Holy Spirit."

Our Lady of Czestochowa, pray for us!

 


When the Communists took over Poland they put Blessed Cardinal Wyszynski in house arrest for three years. The Cardinal who had united the Church of Poland and inspired her faith in the face of ugly atheist was cut from his people. But God had a bigger plan. He knew that in 10 years his country would celebrate the 1000 anniversary of the Faith coming to Poland and he spent his time in prison arranging much for his people. He wrote the following prayer entrusting Poland to Our Lady of Czestochowa (whose Feast we celebrate today!) and sent it to Jasna Gora where the icon was on display to be read and prayed by the Catholic hierarchy in his name (as the Primate of Poland). After this prayer, the people began shouting 'Mother, come to us!' and another idea was inspired. He arranged for 10 years for the icon to travel around Poland to every parish for prayers and processions. As Communists were trying to kill Catholicism, his action of sending Our Lady's icon totally renewed the faith of Poland. In fact, the government was so threatened by the icon's travel, that they ended up ARRESTING THE ICON!! and sending to it 'prison' at the Cathedral, eventually ordering it back to Czestochowa and forbidding it to leave. Cardinal continued to spread the faith by sending the ICON'S FRAME around the country as a symbol that Communists could take an icon, but they could not kill what it stood for... the Polish people's childlike faith in Our Lady's Protection.

Today is the Feast of Our Lady of Czestochowa. I encourage you to read this prayer -for us Poles, it is natural to join spiritually with our homeland in such a consecration. But even those without Polish descent can simply pray the prayer inserting their own heritage and ethnicity into it. What if the whole world loved and consecrated themselves to Mary like this?
Blessed Cardinal Wyszynski, pray for us!
St. Pope John Paul II, pray for us!
All you Polish saints, pray for us!
Our Lady of Czestochowa, pray for us!
I will be doing a podcast next week about all of this -and the history of our holy Polish saints!
S
The Pledge of Jasna Góra
O Great Mother of God and Man! The Virgin who gave birth to God, Mary who was praised by God! The
Queen of the world and the Queen of Poland!
Since three centuries have passed since that joyous day when you became Queen of Poland, we, the
Children of the Polish nation and your children, of the same bloodline as our Ancestors, stand once again
before You, full of those same feelings of love, faithfulness, and hope that once enlivened our Fathers.
We, the Polish Bishops and the Royal clergy, a People saved by the saving Blood of Your Son, come,
Mary, again to Your Throne, O great Mediator of Grace, Mother of Mercy and of all consolation. We
bring to Your immaculate feet all the centuries of our faithfulness to God and the Church of Christ, the
centuries of faithfulness to the lofty mission of the Nation, washed in the water of holy Baptism. We
place at Your feet ourselves and everything that we have: our families, houses of worship, homes, fields
and workplaces, plows, hammers and pens, all of our efforts, our beating hearts and our bursts of will. We
stand before You full of gratitude that You have been our Virgin of Assistance at times of glory and at the
many times of disaster. We stand before You full of repentance, with a sense of guilt for not yet fulfilling
the pledges and promises of our Fathers. Look upon us, O Kind Lady, with the eye of Your Mercy, and
hear the mighty voices which go out to You in a harmonious chorus from the depths of the hearts of many
millions of those from the People of God who have been given over to You.
O Queen of Poland! We renew today the pledge of our Ancestors to You as our Patron and we recognize
You as the Queen of the Polish Nation. Both ourselves and all the Polish lands and all the People we
commend to Your special protection and defense. We humbly call for Your help and mercy in the struggle
to remain faithful to God, the Cross and the Gospels, the holy Church and its Shepherds, our holy
Fatherland which is the advanced guard of Christianity dedicated to Your Immaculate Heart and the Heart
of Your Son. Remember, Virgin Mother, when in the presence of God, the nation that was given to You,
which wants to remain Your Kingdom, under the protection of the Greatest Father of all the nations of
earth. We promise to do everything in our power so that Poland will be truly Your Kingdom and Your
Son's Kingdom, given over entirely to Your rule in our personal, family, national, and social lives.
Response: Queen of Poland, we so pledge!
O Mother of Divine Grace! We pledge to you to protect the gift of grace, which is the source of Divine
Life, in every Polish heart. We hope that every one of us will live in sanctifying grace and be a temple of
God, that the entire Nation will live without mortal sin, and that it will become a House of God and a
Gate of Heaven for the generations passing across the Polish lands, under the leadership of the Catholic
Church, to the eternal Fatherland.
Response: Queen of Poland, we so pledge!
O Holy Mother of God and Mother of Good Advice! We pledge to You, with eyes focused on the manger
of Bethlehem, that henceforth we will all defend unborn life. We will fight to defend every child and
every cradle as courageously as our Fathers fought for the existence and freedom of the Nation, paying
with their own blood. We are ready to die rather than kill a single defenseless one. We consider the gift of
life to be the greatest Grace of the Father of all Life, and as the most valuable treasure of the Nation.
Response: Queen of Poland, we so pledge!
O Mother of Christ and House of Gold! We pledge to You to defend the permanence of marriage, to
protect the dignity of women, to guard the domestic hearth so that within it the lives of Poles will be safe.
We pledge to you to strengthen the reign of Your Son Jesus Christ in the family, to protect the honor of
the Name of God, to implant in the hearts and minds of children the spirit of the Gospels and love
towards You, to guard the laws of God and Christian and national traditions. We pledge to You to raise the
young generations in faithfulness to Christ, to defend them against godlessness and depravity and
surround them with watchful parental protection.
Response: Queen of Poland, we so pledge!
O Mirror of Justice! Listening closely to the eternal longings of the Nation, we pledge to You to walk in
the Light of Justice, in Christ our Lord. We promise to work hard so that in our Fatherland all children of
the Nation will live in love and justice, in harmony and peace, so that among us there will be no hatred,
violence, or exploitation. We promise to share among ourselves willingly the harvests of the earth and the
fruits of labor, so under the common roof of our house there will be no hunger, no homelessness, no
weeping.
Response: Queen of Poland, we so pledge!
O Victorious Lady of Jasna Góra! We promise to fight under Your banner a most holy and most difficult
struggle with our national defects. We promise to declare war on laziness and recklessness, wastefulness,
drunkenness, and promiscuity. We promise to attain the virtues of faithfulness and conscientiousness,
hard work and frugality, self denial and mutual respect, love and social justice.
Response: Queen of Poland, we so pledge!
O Queen of Poland! We renew of the Pledge of our Fathers and promise that we will diligently strengthen
and spread in our hearts and in the Polish Lands your honor and the worship of You, Mother of God, who
is praised in so many of our houses of worship, particularly in Your capital of Jasna Góra. We give over to
you in a particular act of love every Polish home and every Polish heart, so that we will never cease to
speak of Your glory on any day, particularly on Your holydays. We pledge to walk in the path of Your
virtue, Virgin Mother and Faithful Lady, and with Your help fulfill our pledges.
Response: Queen of Poland, we so pledge!
In fulfilling these pledges we see a living vote of the Nation, more precious to You than granite and
bronze. Let them commit us to a worthy preparation of our hearts for the 1000 year anniversary of Polish
Christianity. On the eve of the 1000 year anniversary of the Baptism of our Nation we want to remember
that You first sang to the nation the hymn of liberation from slavery and sin; that You first stood in
defense of the little children and those who hungered, and showed the world the Light of Justice, of
Christ, and of our God. We want to remember that You are the Mother of our Way, Truth, and Life, that in
Your Maternal Face we will most surely recognize Your Son, to whom you unfailingly point the way.
Accept our pledge, strengthen it our hearts and place it before God in the One Holy Trinity. In Your hands
we place our past and future, all our national and social life, the Church of Your Son and everything that
is precious to us in God. Lead us through the land of Poland, which is given over to you, to the Gates of
the Heavenly Fatherland. And at the threshold of the new life show us Jesus, the blessed fruit of Your
womb. Amen.

Episode 107: Mary Kloska Speaks about the Narrow Road, Purification, Suffering and Silence

 This past Sunday we heard in Luke 13 where Jesus says:

"Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able..."
My podcast this week is about following the Narrow Road that leads to heaven which Christ points out to us -which is often the Way of the Cross. In Luke 9 Jesus says, "“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.”
Wanna go deeper into what He meant? Listen to this podcast!
Episode 107: Mary Kloska Speaks about the Narrow Road, Purification, Suffering and Silence
Description: In this episode, Mary talks about Christ's words exhorting us to 'enter the Kingdom of Heaven by the Narrow Road' -what is this narrow road and how do we find it in the midst of the clutter of earthly life? The process of traveling the Narrow Road (which in essence is the Way of the Cross) is one of purification -which often happens to us through the permitted experience of suffering. But Jesus asks us to see suffering as a means to heaven, not as a punishment inflicted simply to cause us pain. Mary also encourages the listener to embrace deeper silence in life in order to be stripped of this world and fly quickly on the path of Christ's Love to Paradise.

Please pray for little Maria in Pakistan!!

 Please pray for little Maria in Pakistan!! She's another baby saved from abortion by the intercession of my translator Aqif and my book, 'The Holiness of Womanhood.' She was born prematurely but in good health and with our prayers she will survive and be a great saintly witness to the sanctity of all life. Thank you for your prayers and to all of you who so generously contribute to help print my books for the persecuted Christians... you'll see below the photos of the fruit of your gifts. Here's this little one's story:

"Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
As I shared with you earlier, how children of the Cross and especially this book “Holiness of Womanhood” is saving unborn souls. In one very poor village there was a couple, they wanted to go through abortion only because they were poor. They did not have enough resources for the new baby. And I have personally seen and witnessed that they really are extremely poor. They don’t have enough to eat.
So they decided to go for abortion. They had already taken different medicines recommended by fake doctors (who just concerned their money). But thank God I met them, of course it was God who planned our meeting. So after great struggles and challenges they were ready to say no to abortion.
Yesterday I got a call that this certain mother was complaining of severe pain, so I brought her to the doctor. She and her family did not have any money. So I brought her to the hospital and paid for them.
In the hospital, Dr. Ehtisham was there to help us. Dr. Ehtisham is a dedicated member of the Children of the Cross ministry. After a long examination, the doctor said that since she was taking some rubbish medicine, she gave birth to a premature daughter. This baby is in critical situation but we are all happy that she had not been a victim of abortion.
Doctor said though she is in critical condition, God willing she will survive. We need a lot of prayers for this baby. Thank God that the mother is fine. Immediately the mother asked me to go to her newborn daughter and pray for her with the book.
This is a miracle that has really taken place because of this book (children of the Cross). Our lady is really using this ministry. When I saw this baby I really cried with joy. Thank you very much God, Mary Kloska, Dr. Sebastian who are all involved to save this baby. Thank you very much Dr. Ehtisham who really helped me a lot in all the procedures.
I am really praying now that God may provide for this baby and her parents. They are in need of some help. Please need your continued prayer.
I am really thankful to God for this baby. The mother said she would like to name her ‘Maria’.
I am also taking this opportunity to share that the printing of “House of Gold” in Urdu is going well. Hope God will do everything on his appointed time.
Come Holy Spirit."
