pray and open heart like flowers to the warmth of sun

May our hearts open in faith today, and more & more everyday!  Pray, read & learn from the Gospel. Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary has been asking this of us for 39 years in Medjugorje. She loves each of us and perseveres in teaching us how to get closer to our Father, through His mercy and graces.  Then we can convert to faith and trust in Him better and better. 

Hvala Bogu! Thank God!

(ENGLISH)

 "Dear children! Pray, pray, keep praying until your heart opens in faith as a flower opens to the warm rays of the sun. This is a time of grace which God gives you through my presence but you are far from my heart, therefore, I call you to personal conversion and to family prayer. May Sacred Scripture always be an incentive for you. I bless you all with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."  

(HRVATSKI)

  “Draga djeco! Molite, molite, samo molite dok se vaše srce otvori u vjeru kao cvijet koji se otvara toplim zrakama sunca. Ovo je vrijeme milosti koje vam Bog daje po mojoj prisutnosti a vi ste daleko od mog srca, zato vas pozivam na osobno obraćenje i obiteljsku molitvu. Neka vam Sveto pismo uvijek bude poticaj. Sve vas blagoslivljem mojim majčinskim blagoslovom. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu. ”

Croatian Palm Sunday tradition: Flowers, New Life Cvjetnica

Tomorrow is Palm Sunday 2020! 

✨🙏✝️✨💖✨

The beginning of Holy Week.    Along with going to Holy Mass, (this year via tv, internet...due to crisis of coronavirus pandemic), and getting either palm fronds or olive branches blessed On Palm Sunday, (Cvjetnica in Croatian), Cvijetna nedjelja (hr) , many Croatian Catholics also traditionally participate in the solemn triumphal entry of our Lord Jesus Christ into Jerusalem 

and the beginning of Holy Week, by washing their faces with flower petal water. Usually violets or other fragrant flowers and herbs. This also symbolizes Spring and new life.

Now is the Lent of viruses and of our sacrifices, prayer & fasting to overcome our sins and to change, 

Easter is the salvation of our hearts and souls in love and light through the sacrifice accepted by Jesus Christ, and his Resurrection.

Thank God! Halleluia.

Gospa in Medjugorje & Holy Spirit help us 2 salvation

Gospa in Medjugorje & Holy Spirit help us 2 salvation

Our Lady Gospa's #Medjugorje message, July 25, 1995

💐 "...only in prayer can you understand my coming here. The Holy Spirit will enlighten you to understand that you must convert. Little children, I wish to make of you a most beautiful bouquet prepared for eternity but you do not accept the way of conversion, the way of salvation that I am offering you through these apparitions... May good overcome evil. I love you and bless you...."

Holy Spirit can help us convert our hearts to God. 

We'll symbolically become a beautiful bouquet of flowers, through prayer with the heart. 

May God's Will be done! 

In the "war" within us between good vs evil, we can say, "Love wins!", and make it happen... with the help of Gospa, the Blessed Virgin Mary in Medjugorje & her son, Jesus Christ.

On Palm Sunday, (Cvjetnica in Croatian),

many Croatian Catholics traditionally participate in the solemn triumphal entry of our Lord Jesus Christ into Jerusalem and the beginning of Holy Week, by washing their faces with flower petal water. Usually violets or other fragrant flowers and herbs.

This also symbolizes Spring and new life. At Holy Mass, parishioners receive either blessed palm fronds or olive branches.
