2ND SUNDAY of LENT Transfiguration

 SECOND SUNDAY of Lent. 

Hvaljen Isus I Marija! Praise be Jesus and Mary!

The Transfiguration --  Preobrazba

7 Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud:

 “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!” (ENGLISH)
7 'Ovo je moj ljubljeni Sin! Njega slušajte!' 

                                                                                (HRVATSKI - Croatian)

 Our Lady, Gospa's response to questions which were asked concerning Confession,  

August 6, 1982 (Feast of the Transfiguration) "...
"... They are numerous who do not observe it. Monthly Confession will be a remedy for the Church in the West. One must convey this message to the West." "I will give you yet some concrete messages for our time. Be patient because the time has not yet come. Do what I have told you..."   

The cross up on Krizevac (Cross Mountain) built in faith by the Croatian families in Medjugorje so long ago ... and now a beacon of hope, a light, for pilgrims around the world. "... and the cross was in God's plan when you built it... "
Our Lady, Queen of Peace, who is the Blessed Virgin Mary said that about the huge cross way up on top of Cross Mountain ( Krizevac, in Croatian). The families of the Medjugorje parish built it decades ago in faith and devotion to Jesus Christ... and now it is a beacon of hope,a light, for pilgrims around the world.

Marys Way of the Cross FIRST station

 "PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!... with the heart" "I am often at Krizevac, at the foot of the cross, to pray there. Now I pray to my Son to forgive the world its sins..."

~Gospa, the Blessed Virgin Mary, in Medjugorje, 1981.

Lent 2021

FIRST STATION - JESUS IS CONDEMNED TO DIE

“We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you, because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.”

  Stations of the Cross, also called Way of the Cross, a series of a 14-step Catholic devotion  portraying events in the Passion of Christ, from his condemnation by Pontius Pilate to his entombment:  Jesus Christ's last day on Earth as a man.   

Mary's WAY OF THE CROSS (Stations of the Cross) 

                       FIRST STATION
MARY, the Blessed Mother of God: It was early Friday morning when I saw my son. That was the first glimpse I had of him since they took him away. His bruised and bleeding skin sent a sword of pain deep into my heart and tears down my cheeks. Then Pilate, from his chair of judgment, asked the crowd why they wanted my son executed. All around me they shouted, "Crucify him!" I wanted to plead with them to stop, but I knew this had to be. So I stood by and cried silently.

Our PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, it is hard for me to imagine the anguish your mother felt at your condemnation. But what about today, when I hold a grudge ...? "Crucify him!" When I judge others...? "Crucify him!" Doesn't this bring tears of anguish to both you and your mother? Forgive me, Jesus.

PRAYERS: Our Father...Hail Mary...Glory Be...

Thank you!  Mary's Way of the Cross - Mir-Peace spiritual pilgrimage group prays this together while climbing up Krizevac (Cross Mountain) each time we travel to Medjugorje. Imagine the suffering the Mother of God, Blessed Virgin Mary endured as she followed her Son, Jesus Christ... It's always very powerful when we are climbing up, stopping at each station and praying together, meditating on what it must have been like for the Mother of God to follow her Son during His #Passion!  

We can follow her example in how we carry our crosses and treat our fellow human beings, our brothers and sisters.  Jesus accepted all this, and so did His mother, with love for all of us. 

True love! Sharing God's love!

fruit & gifts of the holy spirit

 

   dear children, "pray for the 

gifts of the Holy Spirit..."  

 (EN) Our Lady's Medjugorje message, April 17, 1986  

(HR) Gospina poruka, 17. travanj 1986.

(ENGLISH) 

"Dear children! You are absorbed with material things, but in the material you lose everything that God wishes to give you. I call you, dear children, to pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit which are necessary for you now in order to be able to give witness to my presence here and to all that I am giving you. Dear children, let go of everything to me so I can lead you completely. Don't be absorbed with material things. Thank you for having responded to my call."

(HR) Poruka, 17. travanj 1986.
(HRVATSKI) “Draga djeco! Zaokupljeni ste materijalnim stvarima, a u materiji izgubite sve što vam Bog želi dati. Pozivam vas, draga djeco, da molite za darove Duha Svetoga koji su vam sad potrebni da biste mogli svjedočiti moju prisutnost ovdje i sve što vam dajem. Draga djeco, prepustite se meni da vas mogu voditi potpuno. Ne zaokupljajte se materijalnim stvarima. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mom pozivu. ”

GIFTS: 

wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and awe (fear) of the Lord. 

FRUITS of the Holy Spirit: 

the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

As she, the Blessed Virgin Mary often reminds us in #Medjugorje (#heaven on earth ;-) ) ; if we look to God and to heaven, and pray to open our hearts to God's Will, we will be open to the #gifts of the Holy Spirit and be able to better prepare for, share, and accept eternal life, eternal happiness. We can share the gifts & fruits of the Holy Spirit, too!

Gospa needs us - pray

  "Dear children! I still need your prayers. You wonder why all these prayers? Look around you, dear children, and you will see how greatly sin has dominated the world. Pray, therefore, that Jesus conquers. Thank you for having responded to my call."

~Gospa said this September 13, 1984, 37 yrs ago.

~Gospa, the Blessed Virgin Mary said, "Pray, pray, pray!" 
in 1981... 40 years ago!

She is still here with us, teaching us in her 

school of love. 

Thanks be to God!

Prayers for God's will, & that love overcomes all darkness and evil! Deeply, in the silence of our hearts, open to the calm peace and joy of the Light of the World, Jesus Christ. 

Our Lady's love: the Queen of Peace is with us encouraging us since the 1st time she appeared on Apparition Hill to the visionaries. 

Let's continue to learn & grow; pray the rosary. reflect & meditate on the mysteries & on Jesus Christ's life; how he & his earthly mother (Mary),  & father (St Joseph), love as a family of caring, compassion, kindness, discernment & perseverance (staying power) in prayer. 

Role models. Perfect examples. the holy family. 

May you feel God's love today and every day!
