cure our virus of sin with prayer, fasting, sacrifice


Starting this Lenten season, you can help. 

Let's cure our virus of sin with prayer, fasting, sacrifice -- not only for ourselves or our family, but for every person, every soul.

That's the same true love and God's truth that Jesus sacrificed for us when he was crucified. He rose above our sins and death: the Resurrection of Christ at Easter.

*** When asked if we should be afraid of the coronavirus, COVID-19, Fr. Petar Ljubicic said,
"Dear friends, don't be afraid. This is just a warning call to us to be afraid of the virus of sin. If we are without sin, if we pray, fast, make sacrifice... that's the best defense against the corona virus. Fear does not help anything. Rather, pray, believe, and stay away from sin. That's the most effective way to be safe if the virus comes. And if it does come, it will find that it shouldn’t have even bothered.
Peace, and God's blessing.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen."


We are in this together - one family under God - all God's children. When all else fails in life here in this physical world, if we trust God's plan, He will be there for us through it all. Now is the time to have faith, to have no fear.

Bible quotes (and Medjugorje message below) :
 "
The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.

~Psalm 28:7
"
And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

~1 John 5:14

Our Lady often reminds us that through trust in God, with prayer and faith, miracles can happen, GOSPA quote, 1982: "
The best fast is on bread and water. Through fasting and prayer, one can stop wars, one can suspend the laws of nature." She and her son, Jesus Christ, are helping us to realize God's spiritual kingdom is stronger than anything physical or earthly. Have we forgotten that God's grace is worth more than anything of this earth? Thy kingdom come.

Fr Ljubicic is the priest that Medjugorje visionary Mirjana originally chose to reveal her 10 secrets to the world from Gospa, Our Lady: the Blessed Virgin Mary, because she admired how much he was helpng the poor. Mirjana said, "Our Lady asked me to choose a priest who will reveal the secrets at the appropriate time. I am supposed to tell the priest 10 days in advance what will happen and where. We are supposed to spend seven days in prayer and fasting, and then three days before what is to happen... it will be revealed to the world". Let us have as much faith in God's plan as do the visionaries, trusting that we can do the right thing, and having faith in God's plan for the future and eternity.
