Dječice, ne dopustite da se ugasi vaša vjera i nada u bolju budućnost, jer vi ste izabrani da budete u svakoj prilici svjedoci nade. Zato sam ovdje s Isusom da vas blagoslovi svojim mirom. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu."

Magnificat - Marys song & prayer

  Magnificat (Latin for "[My soul] magnifies [the Lord]") is a canticle, also known as the  Song of Mary, the Canticle of Mary , the Prayer of Mary. 

the song that Mary prayed while visiting Elizabeth. 

  August 25, 1988 Blessed Virgin Mary (Gospa in Medjugorje's message):

 "Dear children! Today I invite you all to rejoice in the life which God gives you. Little children, rejoice in God, the Creator, because He has created you so wonderfully. Pray that your life be joyful thanksgiving which flows out of your heart like a river of joy. Little children, give thanks unceasingly for all that you possess, for each little gift which God has given you, so that a joyful blessing always comes down from God upon your life. Thank you for having responded to my call."  

   MAGNIFICAT     
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his Name.

He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children forever.

(~ Lk 1: 46-55) Gospel in the New Testament of the Bible.

Mary's Hands help those in need Jakov Colo

 Medjugorje visionary Jakov Colo gives a profound and beautiful testimony in the video. He pleads with the world for helping hands for those in need.

  Our Lady , Gospa, in her Medjugorje message has often outstretched her hands towards us and tells us all, her "dear children" that she loves us as our Mother more than we know.

 Jakov started an organization years ago which helps those in need and wants to be her outstretched hands. Today many poverty-stricken people in his country do not have food or heat for the winter.

Mary's Hands website: http://marijine-ruke.ba/en/welcome/

Jakov Colo shares his heartfelt testimony of his personal loss, and the loss of seeing the Blessed Mother daily.

He makes a heartfelt appeal

to help the poor and destitute in his homeland

through his charity

Mary's Hands. ("Marijine Ruke")

Click here to donate https://www.friendsofmaryshands.org/  

Due to international travel restrictions and lack of pilgrims and donations, the organization is struggling to provide help for those in need.  

Now the parish food bank is empty.

  Maybe your neighbors, people in your community need help also. If you can, help them. God gave us so much. 

We can recognize & help others 

if we feel God's love in our hearts. 

Sharing. Caring. Forgiveness. Mercy. Prayer. 

These are the greatest gifts. 

  

Jakov is the youngest of visionaries that the Blessed Virgin Mary started appearing to in Medjugorje in 1981. Since then many hundreds of thousands of pilgrims came to this remote area between the mountains high up in Bosnia Hercegovina. The families there welcomed one and all and adapted their lives these 40 years, accommodating the influx of humanity from all corners of the world. They are helping others when they can also. Today, the  country is in dire need. Medjugorje families help others when possible and keep praying for all of us. 

Thank God for people helping people!

Christmas invitation: glorify Jesus BE A LIGHT

 Today, 12-12-2020, remembering Bible verse Romans 12:12 :

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. "

An inspirational Medjugorje message excerpt

after this quote that Gospa gave us on 12-12-1985:  

"Dear children! 

For Christmas my invitation is that together we glorify Jesus. I present Him to you in a special way on that day. My invitation to you: on that day we glorify Jesus and His nativity. Dear children, on that day pray still more, and think more, about Jesus." Let's also continue living in love every day in the New Year!

Focusing on Advent and the preparation for the coming of Christ, Jesus' birth into this physical world for us at Christmastime... Tis the season for joy, hope, faith, new beginnings, true love inside our hearts and the Light of the World.

Inspirational Medjugorje message excerpt by Gospa, Queen of Peace:

"... I need you - you who have been illuminated by the light and have comprehended the truth. I am calling you to adore my Son so that your soul may grow and reach true spirituality.

My apostles, it is then that you will be able to help me. To help me means to pray for those who have not come to know the love of my Son. In praying for them you are showing to my Son that you love Him and follow Him..."

~Gospa, 11-2-2014, our role model and teacher, guide, in the school of love.

BE A LIGHT of Love this Advent, Christmas, and ever after, just as Joseph and Blessed Virgin Mary were when they traveled to Bethlehem, & as God gave His Son, the Light of the World to be born in a manger for each of us.

Carry "God's light and love to all people"

good fruits in Medjugorje vineyard

 The fruit of peace is love and the fruit of love is forgiveness.  

(EN) Gospa's Medjugorje messages for the world through visionary Marija, January 25, 1996

(HR) Gospina poruka, 25. siječanj 1996. 

 (ENGLISH) "Dear Children! Today I invite you to decide for peace. Pray that God give you the true peace. Live peace in your hearts and you will understand, dear children, that peace is the gift of God. Dear children, without love you cannot live peace. The fruit of peace is love and the fruit of love is forgiveness. I am with you and I invite all of you, little children, that before all else forgive in the family and then you will be able to forgive others. Thank you for having responded to my call."

St James Croatian Catholic Church decades ago, when the grape vineyards were still growing nearby. Mir-Peace pilgrimage throwback thursday memory. A happy place in our hearts. Every day!

Poruka, 25. siječanj 1996.

“Draga djeco! Danas vas pozivam da se odlučite za mir. Molite Boga da vam dadne pravi mir. Živite mir u svojim srcima i shvatit ćete, draga djeco, da je mir Božji dar. Draga djeco, bez ljubavi ne možete živjeti mir. Plod mira je ljubav, a plod ljubavi praštanje. Ja sam s vama i sve vas pozivam, dječice, da najprije praštate u obitelji, a onda ćete moći praštati drugima. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mom pozivu! ”

1st Message:
(EN) Gospa, February 25, 1989
"Dear children! Today I invite you to prayer of the heart. Throughout this season of grace I wish each of you to be united with Jesus, but without unceasing prayer you cannot experience the beauty and greatness of the grace which God is offering you. Therefore, little children, at all times fill your heart with even the smallest prayers. I am with you and unceasingly keep watch over every heart which is given to me. Thank you for having responded to my call."

(HR) Gospina poruka, 25. veljača 1989.
“Draga djeco! Danas vas pozivam na molitvu srca. Kroz ovo vrijeme milosti želim da se svatko od vas sjedini s Isusom. A bez neprestane molitve ne možete osjetiti ljepotu i veličinu milosti koju vam Bog nudi. Zato, dječice, u sve vrijeme ispunite svoje srce i najmanjim molitvicama. Ja sam s vama, i neprestano bdijem nad svakim srcem koje se meni daje. Hvala što ste se odazvali mom pozivu! ”

2nd message:
(EN) Gospa, January 25, 1995
"Dear children! I invite you to open the door of your heart to Jesus as the flower opens itself to the sun. Jesus desires to fill your hearts with peace and joy. You cannot, little children, realize peace if you are not at peace with Jesus. Therefore, I invite you to confession so Jesus may be your truth and peace. So, little children, pray to have the strength to realize what I am telling you. I am with your and I love you. Thank you for having responded to my call."

(HR) Gospina poruka, 25. siječanj 1995.
“Draga djeco! Pozivam vas da otvorite vrata svoga srca Isusu kao što se cvijet otvara suncu. Isus želi ispuniti vaša srca mirom i radošću. Ne možete, dječice, ostvariti mir, ako niste u miru s Isusom. Zato vas pozivam na ispovijed da Isus bude vaša istina i mir. Dječice, molite da imate snage ostvariti što vam govorim. Ja sam s vama i volim vas. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mom pozivu! ”

St Nick donations to Medjugorje area children & orphanage kids

 Thank you to everyone who contributed to The Saint Nicholas Project for children in Medjugorje area with prayers, love, and financial contributions.

$2,500 was raised through your generosity. Hundreds of prayers carried those gifts with love to those who needed it this Christmas season. $2,000 was used to make 270 packets for students up to 11-years-old for Saint Nicholas Day. The packets contained sweets, school and art supplies, and Rosary beads – wonderful gifts for children who may not have otherwise been able to receive such treats. The remaining $500 was given to the local orphanage, Mother’s Village, that is run by Franciscan Nuns and was created during the war by Father Slavko Barbaric. The orphanage is organized in family houses to ensure a family life: there are 7 houses and about 50 children who live at Mother’s Village. Mothersvillage.org

~~ A school official wrote to those who supported this project with this note of thanks:

“St. Nicholas arrived today, December 4th at 2 pm. He had the most beautiful gifts for our students up to 4th grade. It was so much fun... "Many thanks from the heart to MirPeace pilgrims from America, and children from Our Lady of Peace Elementary School Clarks Summit Pennsylvania for today's gifts. Many people helped with this project and those involved know it was all orchestrated by Our Lady’s loving hands. May you be filled with love and gratitude for the gifts we have all received."

What a gift it has been to be able to share kindness with the Medjugorje area community that has always shown kindness to pilgrims. The Saint Nicholas Project was started because of the concerns of pilgrims who had visited the villages of Medjugorje in the past. This place of prayer is where The Virgin Mary has been appearing to 6 local visionaries for almost 40 years, & has dedicated itself to the care of religious pilgrims from all over the world; when the pandemic didn’t allow for pilgrims this year, the village took a terrible blow financially. The region depends on tourism and hospitality for economic strength and this has been a very, very difficult time for almost every family in Medjugorje.

The pilgrims who had been to this oasis of peace were moved to provide some gifts for the children of Medjugorje, and to remind the people of Medjugorje that they are loved and prayed for daily by their friends near and far, just as their families pray for all of us in the world every single day. Donations also given via a lovely idea started by Joseph and Brenda on gofundme "the Saint Nicholas Project for Medjugorje".

Saint Nicholas Day was chosen as the day of celebration: local custom traditionally keeps Christmas as a more religious observation & tradition, & honors Saint Nicholas Day as the day of gift giving. Kindness matters.
