Accepting God’s message...

Another reason we constantly thank God for you is that as soon as you heard the message that we brought to you as God’s message, you accepted it for what it really is, God’s message and not some human kind of thinking; and it is still a living power among you who believe it. 1 Thessalonians 2 : 13

Dear children! Today I thank you for living and witnessing my messages with your life. Little children, be strong and pray so that prayer may give you strength and joy. Only in this way will each of you be mine and I will lead you on the way of salvation. Little children, pray and with your life witness my presence here. May each day be a joyful witness for you of God's love. Thank you for having responded to my call.  Medjugorje message, June 25, 1999

Little children, joyfully live the messages of the Gospel, which I am repeating in the time since I am with you. Little children, I am your Mother and I desire to reveal to you the God of love and the God of peace. I do not desire for your life to be in sadness but that it be realized in joy for eternity, according to the Gospel. Only in this way will your life have meaning. Thank you for having responded to my call. part Medjugorje message, December 25, 1996

Water to Wine...

I love you and I’m praying for your conversion without ceasing before my Son Jesus. Part message, October 25, 2011

Yes, there can be times in all of our lives when the wine runs out and there is a need for things to change, to get back on track, even in our relationship with God.

For myself, there is always a tendency to drift and be distracted from focusing on the direction God is leading me. Sometimes I choose to stop on the way and take a detour along a route that is less challenging and is instantly gratifying. I don’t do hardship very well.

But now I am beginning to understand that many of the roads I have taken in my life to search for joy and happiness have mostly led me away from the destination I should be focusing on, my own heart. Sometimes it can be easier to seek a change of scenery outside than within: a change of companions and realtionships, a change of jobs, a change of pubs and clubs, a change of hobbies, a change of towns, and even a change of churches.

But rarely do I consider wanting to change within. The challenge can be to much for my weak will.

Perhaps because I am no longer a young person and age is beginning to tell on my body, but lately I have begun to understand and accept that my weakness will always be with me, my own strength never enough and that a change of heart can only come through my desire and the grace of God. I am in God’s hands. Always was and always will be.

Thank God for the everyday prayer and intercession of our Blessed Mother for each of us, for standing alongside Jesus and letting her him know when the wine has run out in our lives, for asking us to do whatever he tells us, for helping us to understand that daily prayer brings daily conversion, that prayer is the water that fills jars and becomes new wine, that the marriage at Cana speaks of our own marriage and relationship with Jesus, the new wine, the wine that brings change to all of our lives without ceasing.

In my weakness, Lord be my strength,
and your grace enough for me.
May your power be at its best
when the thorn is piercing me.

Our Lady’s October message to Marija

Dear children! I am looking at you and in your hearts I do not see joy. Today I desire to give you the joy of the Risen One, that he may lead you and embrace you with his love and tenderness. I love you and I am praying for your conversion without ceasing before my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call. October 25, 2011

When the Lord delivered Zion from bondage,
it seemed like a dream.
Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
on our lips there were songs.
Psalm 125

The precepts of the Lord are upright,
joy for the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is clear,
light for the eyes.
Psalm 19

Gladness of heart is life to a man,
joy is what gives him length of days.
Ecclesiaticus 30

He, the Lord, is merciful, tenderhearted,
slow to anger, very loving,
and universally kind; The Lord’s tenderness
embraces all his creatures.
Psalm 145

Our Lady’s October message to Mirjana

Dear children; Also today my motherly heart calls you to prayer, to your personal relationship with God the Father, to the joy of prayer in him. God the Father is not far away from you and he is not unknown to you. He revealed himself to you through my Son and gave you Life that is my Son. Therefore, my children, do not give into temptations that want to separate you from God the Father. Pray! Do not attempt to have families and societies without him. Pray! Pray that your hearts may be flooded with the goodness which comes only from my Son, Who is sincere goodness. Only hearts filled with goodness can comprehend and accept God the Father. I will continue to lead you. In a special way I implore you not to judge your shepherds. My children, are you forgetting that God the Father called them? Pray! Thank you. October 2, 2011
