Episode 65: Mary Kloska Speaks About God's Gift of Memory

 “The Power of the Memory is Great, O Lord. You are always there above me, and as I rise up toward you in my mind, I shall go beyond even... this force which we call memory.” -St. Augustine of Hippo

My podcast this week is about God's gift of Memory -please listen, like, and share...

Title: Episode 65: Mary Kloska Speaks About God's Gift of Memory

Description: In this episode, Mary speaks about God's gift of Memory. She explains why it is important in the spiritual life and the process of healing and purifying one's memory on the path to union with God. She also discusses the connection between memory and the theological virtues (Faith, Hope and Love) specifically explaining memory's connection to Hope. She draws heavily from St. John of the Cross and ends with some reflections on memory from Scripture.

Episode 64: Mary Kloska Speaks About Truth, Beauty, Love and the Hearts of Jesus and Mary

 

All this world needs to heal it is TRUTH, BEAUTY and LOVE!

Title: Episode 64: Mary Kloska Speaks About Truth, Beauty, Love and the Hearts of Jesus and Mary

Description: In this episode, Mary talks about the three things that God has asked of the human person, which come forth from His Own Identity: speaking Truth, creating Beauty, and (receiving and then) offering and answering God (and neighbor) with Love. She explains how the source of these three great gifts -Truth, Beauty and Love -are deeply tied to one's union with God and how they come forth from the source of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, both burning as Fires of His Holy Spirit's Love. She hopes that this episode inspires the listener to accept God's invitation to partake with Him in His great work of proclaiming Truth (with our words and lives), creating Beauty in the world (in both big and small ways) and of answering the Father's Love and Will always with a heart of surrendered Love.

PRAYER FOR PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS

First, Fr. Godwin has been kidnapped in Nigeria (see first picture)... so many priests are kidnapped (and killed) in Nigeria. Please pray for his safe release. And please pray for the spread of 'In Our Lady's Shadow: the Spirituality of Praying for Priests' in both Pakistan and Nigeria (as well as here in the US). The more we can get people to pray for priests (especially according to how I explain Our Lady prays for priests), the more we will see these problems just disappear.

Secondly, please consider a donation to the GoFundMe for this purpose -so that we can continue to print these books for free for the persecuted Christians in Nigeria and Pakistan.

https://gofund.me/6f5a0d0f

Thirdly, please see the email I received from Pakistan today along with pictures. These emails and pictures say way more (and better) than anything I could say about this work.

"Greetings to you in the name of our Lord!

Here are a few pictures of this Friday and Saturday activities. On Friday evening I went to a place where once again the majority of the people are being persecuted in one or another ways. People, especially children and women are physically and spiritually hungry. They are living in a certain fear. They really do not know what prayer is and the importance of prayer. They do not pray for themselves so who can we imagine that they pray for others.

So I went there with “In our Lady’s Shadow: The spirituality of praying for priests.

And it was good that one of my friends who is a priest also attended this session. The priest kept his promise. He promised that he would join whenever he has time.

The pictures that I am sharing of this community are not very clear. They don’t have proper light in the church. Later I reflected that they do not have light in their lives as well.

I shared a few texts with them from this book. I am feeling some peace that at the end they were willing to pray for others and themselves. I asked them about the hardships and persecution of their lives. They came with so many things with tears in their eyes. Their stories also brought tears to my eyes. But God turned these tears into joy at the end.

Then our group “Children of the Cross” had special prayer for persecuted priests and Christians. I asked them to draw what they are feeling. In their paintings fear and uncertainty was clear. This group is very active and good in prayer. So I have planned to bring this group (their parents have given me permission) to other places. This will help me to encourage others.

I am very delighted and humble to share that since I am translating your book “A Heart Frozen in Wilderness” and I shared my experience with this group. So this little group of children themselves asked me to pray for the conversion of Russia.

I never thought that in Pakistan, in my little town and in my house and in my other poor churches we would pray for Russia. When children and parents were sharing about their hardships, I added a few stories from “A Heart Frozen”. People in both places said that the suffering of Russia and Pakistan are similar somehow.

Then at the end we had a heart touching prayer.

God bless you and I need your continued prayers as your books have proved a mustard seed in the hearts of my poor, simple, innocent and persecuted people.

I need your prayer because it’s a long way, and I am ready to travel this with people and for people.

Blessings!"

Episode 63: Mary Kloska Speaks About Her New Book, 'A Heart Frozen in the Wilderness: Reflections of a Siberian Missionary"

 

Happy Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

I am releasing my radio podcast this week a day early to honor Our Lady... it is all about my newest book, "A Heart Frozen in the Wilderness: Reflections of a Siberian Missionary." In Fatima, Our Lady asked for a spread of the devotion to Her Immaculate Heart -warning that if people didn't heed what She asked that Russia would spread her errors throughout the world -which it did - but that through prayer and fasting in the end Russia would be converted and Her Immaculate Heart would triumph in the world.

Please listen to this podcast and honor Our Lady by continuing to pray for the conversion of Russia.

Title: Episode 63: Mary Kloska Speaks About Her New Book, 'A Heart Frozen in the Wilderness: Reflections of a Siberian Missionary"

Description: In this episode, Mary shares with the listener her perspective on the Russian people that comes from living with them and serving them as a Catholic missionary. She tells stories to illustrate her understanding of the Russian Heart and the most important 'work' of a Catholic missionary in Russia (which is prayer and Eucharistic Adoration among the people there.) She also tells about the history of the book and its intimate ties with Our Lady of Fatima and her prophecies about Russia and the Triumph of Her Immaculate Heart.

From Pakistan today!

Please pray that we get the money we need to complete printing of these books in Pakistan and Nigeria!

https://gofund.me/e5cc9aa8

“Greetings in the name of our Lord!

Mostly I visit communities on weekends. But sometimes if I feel that I am needed I cannot refuse. Same thing happened today. I got a call from a rural community. This place is located far from Lahore (My place), indeed this is a persecuted community. Poverty is beyond our imagination. Still many people here can read and write.

Today I was asked to share the book “Out of Darkness”. As you can see in the pictures I was welcomed warmly. I was surprised to see the number of people, almost seventy of them. And only six were men. So when I saw a big number of women, I also shared “Holiness of Womanhood”. In this place every house has terrible stories. They do not have enough to eat, they do not have equal rights (even not basic human rights). Being Christians they are deprived of rights. Few can read and write, still they are offered only low jobs. Many of the women work in big houses, and there they are physically, psychologically tortured every day. They cannot even complain.

I spend a couple of hours with these women, young, old, and even children. The whole group including me had Holy Spirit experience. Since many of them could not read, I had to read aloud for them. I also invited young women who could read to lead.

At the end “Out of Darkness” and “Holiness of Womanhood” were able to turn their tears into joy, their hopelessness into hope, and their uncertainty into peace. At the very end a group of young children did a cultural dance to say thank you to God for their life. Before this talk this group could not imagine dancing. They were really sad and felt dark. After this they experienced out of darkness.

At the end, one decade of Rosary was recited for Mary Kloska of her love for our people. I also mentioned “In our Lady’s Shadow”, and I promised that next time I would read that book to them.

Now it is 12:50 a.m. I wanted to write to you tomorrow in the morning, but the woman said that please just go home and say thank you to Mary Kloska. So I promised them.

Blessings to you Mary, and once again thank you God who chose you for our people. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FROM ME AND FROM TODAY’S GATHERING OF WOMEN.”

Episode 62: Mary Kloska Speaks About the Vow of A Victim Soul

 So what exactly is a vow of a victim soul?

Listen to my podcast this week to find out!

Title: Episode 62: Mary Kloska Speaks About the Vow of A Victim Soul

Description: In this episode, Mary takes the listener through the vow of a victim soul and explains what it means, what it does to transform a person and its effects upon the world. She draws heavily from a work by Father Eugene Prevost (who lived in the 1800's) and was translated from the French by a religious sister who Mary recently met. Mary explains the difference between simply offering sacrifices and being a victim of love with Jesus. The treasures shared with us from Fr. Prevost will surely ignite the heart of the listener to draw deeper and closer to the Heart of Jesus, consumed in a Fire of Divine, Crucified Love for all of us!

Progress in Pakistan and Nigeria

 Updates from Nigeria and Pakistan... PLEASE CONSIDER A DONATION (OF ANY AMOUNT) TO THE GOFUNDME BELOW to help support this ministry and provide books for free:

https://gofund.me/6f5a0d0f

In Nigeria we are working on printing more books and you can see the pictures of the work in progress. Plus, I received this message: "Elated College students have been blessed to have your book. Their lives are going to be better after reading this book. I see the smile on their faces."

In Pakistan the work is astounding -little seeds of love are totally transforming hearts and more and more priests, Christian pastors, Muslim leaders and Hindus are converting their ideas and ways through these books (and through the prayer they inspire). Please be part of this peaceful solution and healing of souls and donate to the cause:

https://gofund.me/6f5a0d0f

Here are two messages from Pakistan:

"Greetings in the name of our Lord!

Today I visited the printer. And he said that our books “In our Lady’s Shadow: The Spirituality of Praying for Priests, will be ready, God willingly, on 10th of this month (Thursday) in the afternoon. We are very happy about this.

I have contacted seven priests (including Fr. Yermiah) who are waiting for this book and ready to use this book as well in groups, parishes, communities and hopefully in seminaries as well. This weekend I have a meeting with two priests regarding this book and we will form more prayer groups to pray for priests and persecuted Christians.

Now we are continually praying for the remaining 515 $ to complete this. I am sure God will answer our prayers soon.

Now “Holiness of Womanhood” will be used as a resource book in two formation houses, in one convent and in Islamic University as well.

I have a few more life changing witnesses about “Out of Darkness” and “Holiness of Womanhood”. I will be sharing stories soon.

Further, I am translating “A Heart Frozen in the Wilderness”.

I never thought that your books would become a huge mission in my country. I completely believe this is God’s will. Your books are now touching the hearts of Christians, persecuted Christians, Muslims, other denominations, and next month I am planning to meet a few Hindus (Hindus are also in minority in Pakistan. And sometimes they also face many problems).

Blessings!"

"Greetings and Happy Sunday,

I just got back from church. Today once again I was invited to a church to preach “Holiness of womanhood”. It was a deep experience. There were about a total of 45 participants. I think only 10 were men and the rest were all young women. I am sharing a few pictures of this activity.

I gave them a brief introduction of the book and then I read a few chosen texts from the book. All the young (girls) were full of joy and wondered to listen to the book. There were few mothers as well. I could see their eyes with tears of happiness and gratitude.

Then I divided them into groups. Group work is always amazing as in small groups they feel easy to share their true feelings. I ask them to write and share what they were feeling before they read this book and what they feel after listening to this book. Their response touched me.

What they were feeling before they read this book:

• Women are not born in the image of God.

• God loves men more than women.

• Women got nothing to do in the plan of salvation.

What they felt after they read and listen from this book:

• God has created them on HIS own image.

• God loves us very much.

• We are helpers of God.

• A woman (Mother Mary) gave birth to Jesus, so all women are Holy and can share Jesus with others.

• Women played and still play a vital role in salvation.

At the end many of them came to me and asked more about the author (Mary Kloska) of this book. Thousands of prayers for the writer of this book.

In our culture mostly we keep the Bible in a separate fixed place. Women came and said they would keep this book close to the Bible as this book is also life touching and changing.

I also shared with the group about “Children of the Cross”. All of them promised to pray on Friday for persecuted Christians and all Priests. Few (married women) promised to send their children for Rosary.

Mary, once again, thank you very much for enriching our culture with this spirituality. We did not know what to do but your books have prepared a way for us. Thanks for being Hope in our hopelessness.

Thank you very much Dr. Sebastian for always being available to us. Thank you for always listening to us. And thanks for your encouragement.

Blessings!"
