Gospa Medjugorje, Bible, & Pope good advice

today, 9/20/20, during these scary times of worldwide pandemic coronavirus and our responses to or for each other, 

don't worry. 

***  We can have peace. *** 

1) Moses' advice in Exodus 20:20 in the Bible, 

 2) Gospa's encouragement in Medjugorje... 

 3) a quote from Pope Francis. 

Let's approach others, all God's children, with love, forgiveness, mercy, respect.

 (EN) #Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning."  (HR) Ne bojte se, reče Mojsije narodu. "Bog je došao da vas samo iskuša; da strah pred njim ostane s vama te da ne griješite."

(ENGLISH) #Medjugorje message by #Gospa Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Medjugorje, August 22, 1985 

"... God wants to send you trials which you can overcome by prayer. God is testing you.through daily chores/burdens. Now pray to peacefully withstand every trial. From everything through which God tests you come out more open to God and approach Him with love." 

(HRVATSKI) Gospina poruka, 22. kolovoz 1985. 

"... Bog vam želi poslati kušnje koje molitvom možete pobijediti. Bog vas kuša kroz svakodnevne radove. Sada molite da nadi|ete mirno svaku kušnju. Iz svega kroz što vas Bog kuša izlazite otvoreniji Bogu i pristupajte Bogu s ljubavlju. " 

According to #Pope Francis, “The fear of the Lord, the gift of the Holy Spirit, doesn’t mean being afraid of God, since we know that God is our Father that always loves and forgives us,...[It] is no servile fear, but rather a joyful awareness of God’s grandeur and a grateful realization that only in Him do our hearts find true peace.”

There is hope in the silence (tišina)

video: "Medjugorje Today and Tomorrow"

Many people have more time to pray 🙏... and can also pray for those who do NOT have time for more than helping others, sacrificing for those sick with coronavirus... choosing to do the right thing, just as Jesus Christ did. This Lenten season let's remember that tomorrow is another day. LOVE will overcome.

Thank God for sending us His Son, #Jesus. Thank you, Lord, our Father, for allowing Gospa, Our Lady Queen of Peace, for being with us since 1981 in this special way. She reminds us to pray to God and open ourselves to peace in our hearts, then our families, then we can share peace in the entire world.
May you hear His voice in the silence. Peace be with you, everyone. Have faith for a better tomorrow.

Now is our Lent of prayer, fasting and sacrifice.
Tomorrow will be our Easter of resurrection, salvation in our hearts ❤️ .
May God's Will be done.

are you preparing your soul during this crisis?

...but what about your soul, how are you preparing it?"Sometimes gifts don't look like blessings to us, but they can be. It is so with this unwanted, unexpected and intimidating guest... maybe it's a curse, maybe a blessing."

"The world has grown silent for a moment, the industrial giant is quiet, all people are equal again, both great and small, trembling with the same fear before the unknown...

They say that you can finally see the sky over Italy, and the Italians are socializing, meeting and loving their neighbors, balcony walls and glass windows are no longer obstacles .. There will not be silence in the halls and elevators anymore. The entire Christian world is praying together for the same thing. Families are finally coming to know one another, to become familiar, to socialize and pray out loud, and suddenly there is plenty of time. The virus even slows down time.
Where were you hurrying to, poor little person? Don’t you see how small and helpless you are compared to something far smaller than yourself? - What are you doing with yourself while your days have been counted just as the hairs on your head have?
Stop, and listen to the silence, return to your roots and pray to God. You are so desperately afraid for your bodies but what about your soul, how are you preparing it?

Some gifts don't look like blessings to us, yet they are... Just open your eyes to see how a tiny unknown particle changes your world, and Someone high up above is seeing everything and, what do you think, is He smiling?? 😉

Greetings to all and, with heads raised, pray to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Greeting you and united with you in prayer"
-Ivan

Medjugorje visionary Ivan Dragičević shared this through UdrugaKraljicaMira fb. Let's take the advice and prayers by Gospa the Blessed Virgin Mary to hearts as he has since gospa's (Our Lady's) apparitions started there in 1981... and learn to get truly closer to God through her son, Jesus Christ. As Fr Petar Ljubicic said days ago, this corona virus is a virus of sin... our sins. It's a chance to focus on heaven and eternal spiritual life rather than the temporary physical earthly. We always wanted more time to reflect and meditate on the New Testament during Lent, let's do it now. Let us rise together with love. Stop, look, listen to God's voice inside your heart. May God's Plan be realized. We can help by being united in prayer.

Medjugorje: message & visionary Mirjana no more 2nd of month apparitions

"... Simply live His words and do not be afraid. Pray and love sincerely, with good works; and help the world to change... there is no love without salvation... " 

~Gospa, 3-18-2020

 Visionary Mirjana Dragicevic Soldo will no longer have  apparitions every 2nd of the month

"This day, March 18, 2020, was a great turning point for all of Medjugorje, for the world and for the many believers who make pilgrimage every second of the month to the base of Apparition Hill, to a place known as the Blue Cross.We have learned that Mirjana Dragicevic Soldo will no longer have public apparitions nor will she receive the messages ((on the 2nd of each month)) that Our Lady has given from August 2, 1987 up until today. 

Mirjana had daily apparitions from June 24, 1981 to December 25, 1982. That Christmas Our Lady announced to Mirjana that she would no longer have regular (daily) meetings with Our Lady, but left her a gift: that she could see her for her birthday as long as she was alive. So today, on her birthday, around 1:30pm in her family home, surrounded by her family members, Mirjana learned from Our Lady that there will no more apparitions in the second of the month, and relayed the following message:.. ~medjugorje-info.com 

Gospa Our Lady, who is Blessed Virgin Mary, 3-18-2020:
“Dear children,
My Son, as God, always looked outside of time. I, as His mother, through Him, see within time. I see beautiful things and sad things. But I see that there is still love, and that it needs to be recognized.

My children, you cannot be happy if you do not love each other, if you do not have love in every situation and at every moment of your life.
And I, as Mother, am coming to you through love—to help you to come to know true love, to come to know my Son.

This is why I am calling you to always, in a renewed way, thirst even more for love, faith, and hope. The only spring from which you can drink is Trust in God, my Son.

My children, in times of unrest and sacrifice you need only to seek the face of my Son (Jesus Christ). Simply live His words and do not be afraid. Pray and love sincerely, with good works; and help the world to change, so that my heart may triumph.

Like my Son, I am also saying to you: love one another because without love there is no salvation.
Thank you my children.”
(translated from original Croatian)

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.

prayer together can stop wars & suspend the laws of nature

"Through fasting and prayer, one can stop wars, one can suspend the laws of nature."   During the current pandemic of coronavirus COVID19,donot worry. Pray.

Gospel, Matthew 18:20 'For where two or three gather in my name, there I (Lord, Jesus Christ) am with them.' 

-- 1982, Gospa in Medjugorje: "Communities of prayer are necessary in all parishes."  

"In the 1st years of the apparitions, Our Lady, Gospa, had said more than once, " Let us go to church to pray."   Gospa, the Blessed Virgin Mary also said, "that faith began to extinguish itself. There are many who do not come to church except through habit." She's often reminded us that through trust in God's, prayer and faith, miracles can happen,  GOSPA, 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 Jesus 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? We can focus on that this Lent. God loves each of us. He gave His only Son for us. Thank God!

1984 "You have learned that the Cross represents Christ; it is a sign of Him. It is the same for the crucifix you have in your home. For me, it is not the same. I am with you then, "... when it is cold (& difficult to attend) & you come to church, you want to offer everything to God. I am with you then; I am with you in the wind. Do not be afraid."  ... "

  "I would like to guide you spiritually, ... When you go to Mass, your trip from home to church should be a time of preparation for Mass. You should also receive Holy Communion with an open and pure heart; purity of heart and openness..."  

Let's also remember the Eucharist is the greatest remedy of soul and body.   

(ENGLISH) Her Medjugorje message, July 25, 2014 

"Dear children! You are not aware of the graces that you are living at this time in which the Most High is giving you signs for you to open and convert. Return to God and to prayer, and may prayer begin to reign in your hearts, families and communities, so that the Holy Spirit may lead and inspire you to every day be more open to God's will and to His plan for each of you. I am with you and with the saints and angels intercede for you. Thank you for having responded to my call."

During this time of epidemic coronavirus spreading in the world, there is fear. and it's now a pandemic. covid-19 . Do not be afraid. Prayers that we will get through it the best possible way. We are all God's children and saw in the New Testament of the Bible how strong faith and prayer and fasting are, especially if we also gather together, and celebrate our faith through the sacraments, the Eucharist. Together in prayer and faith we can survive and thrive.
