| COLOURS OF CONVERSION... AN OUTWARD SIGN OF INWARD CHANGE |
Jesus answered his disciples... “The reason I talk to them in parables is that they look without seeing and listen without hearing or understanding. So in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled:
‘You will listen and listen again but not understand, see and see again, but not perceive. For the heart of this nation has grown coarse, their ears are dull of hearing, and they have shut their eyes for fear that they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and be converted and be healed by me.’
“But happy are your eyes because they see, your ears because they hear! I tell you solemnly, many prophets and holy men longed to see what you see, and never saw it; to hear what you hear and never heard it.” Matthew 13 : 13-17
Dear children! Today, I call you to become my witnesses by living the faith of your fathers. Little children, you seek signs and messages and do not see that, with every morning sunrise, God calls you to convert and to return to the way of truth and salvation. You speak much, little children, but you work little on your conversion. That is why, convert and start to live my messages, not with your words but with your life. In this way, little children, you will have the strength to decide for the true conversion of the heart. Thank you for having responded to my call. Medjugorje message, September 25, 1998
A QUESTION FOR VICKA...
• How much effort is needed to start conversion and a life in accordance with the messages?
Vicka: “It does not require much effort. What matters most is that you want conversion. If you want conversion, it will come, and no effort is needed at all. But as long as you struggle, as long as there is a fight going on inside you, it means you are not determined to make that step. You’d better never start struggling if you are not persistent to the end, asking of God the favour of conversion.“Conversion is a grace. Conversion will not drop down out of the blue sky, if you do not want it. Our conversion is our whole life. Who can say today, ‘I am converted’? Nobody. We have to go the way of conversion. Whoever says he is converted is lying, he hasn’t moved an inch. He who says he wants to be converted, he is on the way of conversion, he prays for conversion every day.
“We know very well how to hear and understand the message quite well. The trouble is that we resort to the messages mostly when we have some problem, but you see, God even uses that way so He can draw people closer to Himself.
“We should try to pray for the grace from Jesus and Our Lady to help us, naturally along with our good will, to open our hearts. If we ‘manage’ to open them, there will be no problems accepting Our Lady’s message.”
