Fourth Sunday ADVENT Gospa quote

Fourth week of Advent, Sunday, December 18, 2022. 

We light the final purple candle to mark the final week of prayer and penance as we wait for the birth of our Savior. This final candle, the “Angel's Candle,” symbolizes peace. It reminds us of the message of the angels: “Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men.” 

***May Jesus Christ be born in our hearts. ***

--- Gospa's inspirational words of wisdom to the visionaries in Medjugorje the 1st year she came there for us, from December 18th and to the day of her Son's birthday, December 25th. 

We can still learn from her today, in 2022. : 

 Friday, December 18, 1981 

The Blessed Virgin (Gospa) did not respond to our questions. She sang, Jesus Christ, in Your Name. 

After the first verse, she said: 

"Come on, sing more joyfully. Why are you so pensive?"

 After the prayer, she began, Queen of the Holy Rosary, and she departed. 

 Monday, December 21, 1981 

"Be on your guard, my children. Prepare yourselves for difficult days. All kinds of people will come here." 

 Thursday, December 24, 1981 

"Celebrate the days which are coming. Rejoice with my Son. Love your neighbor. May harmony reign among you." 

 Friday, December 25, 1981 

"Love one another, my children. You are brothers and sisters. Don't argue among yourselves." 

Our Lady then blesses them and leaves.

First Sunday of Advent, HOPE!1st of the 4 weeks we joyfully and with prayer prepare for the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ's birth at Christmas... And opening our hearts in trust for God's truth and love for the coming of the Light of the world.  May we share that light and love with all our brothers and sisters, help them get to know Gospa's son, Jesus, in their hearts May the Holy Spirit help us all use wisdom to do God's will together. Peace be with you today everyone!

~~~ Our Lady, Gospa's Medjugorje message, Advent, 1983, thru visionary: "Begin by calling on the Holy Spirit each day. The most important thing is to pray to the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit descends on earth, then everything becomes clear, and everything is transformed." ~Gospa.

Bless the ADVENT WREATH "Traditionally, Advent wreaths are constructed of a circle of evergreen branches into which four candles are inserted, representing the 4 weeks of Advent. Ideally, three candles are purple and one is rose, but white candles can also be used.
The purple candles in particular symbolize the prayer, penance, and preparatory sacrifices and goods works undertaken at this time. The rose candle is lit on the third Sunday, Gaudete Sunday, Gaudete Sunday is the Sunday of rejoicing, because the faithful have arrived at the midpoint of Advent, when their preparation is now half over and they are close to Christmas.
The progressive lighting of the candles symbolizes the expectation and hope surrounding our Lord’s first coming into the world and the anticipation of his second coming to judge the living and the dead."(~USSCB.org)

Christmas gifts

 Lest we forget the true meaning of Christmas time, the reason for the season. 
"...I am carrying to you my Son Jesus who is the King of Peace..."

Gospa, the Queen of Peace and Mother of God in Medjugorje, January 2, 2019:

“Dear children! Sadly, among you, my children, there is so much battle, hatred, personal interests and selfishness. My children, so easily you forget my Son, His words, His love. Faith is being extinguished in many souls, and hearts are being grasped by material things of the world.
But my motherly heart knows that there are still those who believe and love,.."

Also below the link is a CHRISTMAS quote: (EN)  Gospa's message for us, December 25, 2018. --- (HR)  Gospina poruka, 25. prosinac 2018.

 The greatest gift we can receive is the new life in our hearts, enlightened with the gift that God gave us of His son, Jesus Christ. This Christmas 2021, let's share the gifts of love, hope, faith, and new beginnings.
Joy to the World! --- Peace be with you all!
--- Kyrie eleison ("Lord have mercy")!

This Autumn, with the approach of winter and Advent, we pray that we each can prepare for the coming of the Lord, the Light of the World. The 12 twelve days of Christmas start with Christmas Day to the day before Epiphany (5 January).

(ENGLISH) Gospa, December 25, 2018:
 "Dear children! I am carrying to you my Son Jesus who is the King of Peace. He gives you peace and may it not be only for you but, little children, carry it to others in joy and humility. I am with you and am praying for you in this time of grace which God desires to give you. My presence is a sign of love here while I am with you to protect you and lead you towards eternity. Thank you for having responded to my call."

(HRVATSKI) Gospina poruka, 25. prosinac 2018.
“Draga djeco! Nosim vam mog sina Isusa koji je Kralj mira. On vam daje mir i neka ne bude samo za vas nego, dječice, nosite ga drugima u radosti i poniznosti. Ja sam s vama i molim se za vas u ovom milosnom vremenu koje vam Bog želi dati. Moja prisutnost je znak ljubavi ovdje dok sam s vama da vas štitim i vodim prema vječnosti. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu. ”

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"

FOUR WEEKS OF ADVENT

(EN) Gospel MK 13:33-37 -- (HR) Evanđelje po Marku 13:33-37 

(ENGLISH) Jesus said to his disciples: “Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come. It is like a man traveling abroad. He leaves home and places his servants in charge, each with his own work, and orders the gatekeeper to be on the watch. Watch, therefore; you do not know when the Lord of the house is coming, whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning. May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to all: ‘Watch!’” 

(HRVATSKI - Croatian language) Bdijte, dakle, i stražite jer ne znate kada će se to zbiti! Dolazak Sina Čovječjega može se usporediti s odlaskom čovjeka koji je otputovao u drugu zemlju. Prije polaska kuću je povjerio na brigu slugama. Svakome je zadao posao, a vrataru zapovjedio da budno čeka njegov povratak.  Zato budno bdijte jer ne znate kada će se gospodar vratiti - uvečer, u ponoć, u ranu zoru kad pjevaju pijetli ili ujutro - da ne dođe iznenada i nađe vas kako spavate. Što kažem vama, kažem svima: Budno iščekujte njegov dolazak!

The Blessed Virgin Mary has been appearing to the visionaries since she 1st came to them in 1981 on Apparition Hill, to help bring all people, all souls, to prepare them to get closer to God Almighty through her Son, Jesus Christ, Light of the World.

Apparition Hill, where the Blessed Virgin Mary, known in #Medjugorje as #Gospa, Our Lady Queen of Peace first started appearing to the visionaries in 1981... After all these decades, the rough path and rugged rocks have become more level by the many thousands of pilgrims worldwide, some of whom have traveled there with our Mir-PEACE pilgrimages.This Advent, let's remember what she keeps reminding us, and in the Bible reading below, "prepare the way for the Lord":

(EN) "...The world is at war because hearts are full of hatred and jealousy. In the eyes, little children, peacelessness is seen because you have not permitted Jesus to be born in your lives. Seek Him, pray, and He will give Himself to you in the Child who is joy and peace..."
~part of Medjugorje message November 25, 2019. (HR) "...

Bible: Isaiah 40:3-5 A voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain.And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together.For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

BE A LIGHT (Mir-Peace spiritual pilgrimage group motto) :-)

Gospa's MEDJUGORJE MESSAGE, 1996:

"Dear children! Today, again, I invite you to pray, so that through prayer, fasting and small sacrifices you may prepare yourselves for the coming of Jesus. 

May this time, little children, be a time of grace for you. 

Use every moment and do good, for only in this way will you feel the birth of Jesus in your hearts. 

If with your life you give an example and become a sign of God's love, joy will prevail in the hearts of men. 

Thank you for having responded to my call."

 Medjugorje Message to Mirjana Soldo of December 2nd, 2018. 

“Dear children,

when you come to me, as to a mother, with a pure and open heart, know that I am listening to you, encouraging you, consoling you and, above all, interceding for you with my Son.
I know that you desire to have a strong faith and to express it in the right way. What my Son asks of you is to have a sincere, strong and deep faith – then every way in which you express it is proper. 

Faith is a most wonderful mystery which is kept in the heart. It is between the Heavenly Father and all of His children; it is recognized by the fruits and by the love which one has towards all of God’s creatures. 

Apostles of my love, my children, have trust in my Son. Help all of my children to come to know His love. You are my hope – you who strive to sincerely love my Son. In the name of love, for your salvation, according to the will of the Heavenly Father and through my Son, I am here among you. Apostles of my love, along with prayer and sacrifice, may your hearts be illuminated with the love and the light of my Son.
May that light and love illuminate all those whom you meet and bring them back to my Son. I am with you.
In a special way, I am alongside your shepherds. With my motherly love I illuminate and encourage them that, with the hands blessed by my Son, they may bless the entire world. Thank you.”
