Behold our Blessed Mother

 "...Jesus Christ said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!”             Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!”

~New Testament, Gospel,  John 19:25-29

"...Isus (reče majci): 'ženo, evo ti sina!'  27 A učeniku reče: 'Evo ti majke.' "
~Evanđelje po Ivanu 19:25-29

(EN) HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!   (HR) Sretan Majčin dan

Gratitude to God for also sending our Blessed Mother to Medjugorje to help us. :-)
 

(ENGLISH) Our Lady Gospa's #Medjugorje Message:
"Dear children! Today I invite you to come still closer to me through prayer. Little children, I am your mother, I love you and I desire that each of you be saved and thus be with me in Heaven. That is why, little children, pray, pray, pray until your life becomes prayer.  Thank you for having responded to my call."

August 25, 1998

Part of Pope's thoughts about this Gospel reading: 

"At the end of his earthly life, as he addressed his Mother and the disciple he loved, the crucified Messiah establishes a new relationship of love between Mary and Christians."

~Pope John Paul II, EWTN, 

"To the Disciple He Said, Behold Your Mother".

(HRVATSKI) Gospina poruka, 25. kolovoz 1998.
“Draga djeco! Danas vas pozivam da mi se preko molitve još više približite. Dječice, ja sam vaša majka, volim vas i želim da se svatko od vas spasi te bude sa mnom u raju. Zato, dječice, molite, molite, molite dok vaš život ne postane molitva. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mom pozivu. ”

cleanse your heart 4 God

 Let's cleanse our hearts and make room to accept the Light of the World, Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God & gave us his all, with love.  

"stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.... “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up." ... But he was speaking about the temple of his body. Therefore, when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they came to believe the Scripture and the word Jesus had spoken.  

~(EN) Gospel according to John 2:13-25 (HR) Evanđelje po Ivanu 2:13-25

July 2, 2005, Gospa, the Blessed Virgin Mary said in Medjugorje:

 "Dear Children, as your mother, I rejoice with you, for as a mother I invited you. I am bringing my Son to you. My Son, Your God. Cleanse your hearts and bow your head before your only God. Let my motherly heart leap with joy. Thank you."

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.

Medjugorje Advent prep: hope faith joy & peace

First Sunday of Advent is Nov 29, 2020.

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

~~~ Our Lady, Gospa's Medjugorje message, 

Advent, 1983, thru visionary:

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."

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. 

 Our Mir-Peace spiritual pilgrimage groups have been traveling to #Medjugorje since the mid 1080s, sharing the authentic peace, faith, culture, visionary and family & priest testimonies in that place known world-wide as "heaven on earth".  #blessed. God bless you! Wherever you are!

 Forgive just like Jesus & don't judge for hope & truth

Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Gospel(EN) - Luke 23:34 - Evanđelje(HR) 'Oprosti im, Oče, jer ne znaju što čine!' reče Isus.

  "My motherly heart yearns for this - for unity of all of my children - through my Son."  

 "If you desire to follow my Son, you will not judge 

but love like your Heavenly Father loves you. " 

" I am knocking on your hearts. They cannot open because they are not humble." ((more quotes below))

Did Jesus Christ compete on one side only? Was He worried was afraid? Or did He want to help you & me & all our brothers and sisters to have salvation & join Him with God Almighty in heaven? This Thanksgiving and Christmas season let's give the gifts of love, forgiveness and trust in God our Father. And peace in our Heart with joy in that truth & trust. Through the decades Gospa asks us to open our hearts to God & truly love each other(all souls),not judge but to #forgive & pray for God's Will. He knows how to fix anything humanity is She (Gospa Queen of Peace, the Blessed Virgin Mary) is always praying for each of us, and encouraging us to do the same.

"Little children, you live in a time in which God gives great graces, but you do not know how to make good use of them. You are concerned about everything else, but least for the soul and spiritual life."

"Dear children, with motherly concern I look in your hearts and see in them pain and suffering. I see a wounded past and an incessant search... Open yourselves to the Father... you will be happy. Your search will end. You will love, and you will not be afraid. Your life will be hope and truth, which is my Son. thank you...

Do not judge, because you will all be judged."

"I, as a mother, desire to save you from restlessness, despair, and eternal exile... My Son, by His death on the Cross, showed how much He loves you; He sacrificed Himself for your sake and the sake of your sins. Do not keep rejecting His sacrifice and do not keep renewing His sufferings with your #sins. "

"Anew, I am calling you to love and not to judge. My Son, according to the will of the Heavenly #Father, was among you to show you the way of #salvation, to save you and not to judge you.

If you desire to follow my Son, you will not judge but love like your Heavenly Father loves you. " We thank God for being patient with us & sending the Blessed Mother to Medjugorje to help us get closer to Him and #eternal happiness, eternal life for all eternity.

read the New Testament Scriptures - Gospa: PRAY

"Pray as much as you can; pray however you can, 

but pray more always. ...

...I know that many do not understand 

because they think only of living for their work." 

~ Gospa, Our Lady, 1984, Medjugorje.  

Why does the Blessed Virgin Mary keep repeating herself? "PRAY, pray, pray!" She often asks us to fast, pray the rosary. to read the Bible. to think of Jesus Christ's love and sacrifice, how He lived his life on earth in the New Testament, the Gospel... ever since she started appearing to the visionaries in 1981... in #Medjugorje.

(EN) “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.”

~ New Testament, 2 Timothy 3:16  

(HR) Druga poslanica Timoteju 3:16 

16 Jer cijelo je Sveto pismo od Boga nadahnuto i korisno za poučavanje, za popravljanje i odgajanje u pravednosti.

  Here are a few of Gospa's quotes during her apparitions:  

(EN) Gospa's Medjugorje message, April 25, 2013 (HR) Gospina poruka, 25. travanj 2013.

(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. ”

"Faith will not know how to be alive without prayer. Pray more." 1981
"Pray as much as you can; pray however you can, but pray more always. ...I know that many do not understand because they think only of living for their work." 1984

"Dear children! Today I call you to pray in a special way that you offer up sacrifices & good deeds for peace in the world. " "Let prayer be life for you."
"God is great, and His love for every creature is great. Therefore, pray to be able to understand the love and goodness of God." 1990's

Jesus Gospel quote with 39 anniverary Gospa message

Living by following the Way, the Truth and the Life has meaning. 

True happiness :-) Everlasting life. 

Go with God! May God's Will be done.

~ (EN) From today's Gospel according to Matthew 10-37-42

~ (HR) Evanđelje po Mateju 10:37-42 ((Croatian Gospel excerpt after Gospa's message))

(EN) Jesus said to his apostles:
“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Our Lady's Medjugorje message on the 39th anniversary of Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary's apparitions in Medjugorje, thanks be to God! Gratitude also to the citizens of that area: families, visionaries, franciscan priests... who had faith, love Jesus Christ, and took up their crosses not only for themselves, but also for every one of us around the world, many of whom have traveled to #Medjugorje as pilgrims.

(EN) Gospa,Our Lady's Medjugorje Message,

(HR)  Gospina poruka, 25. lipanj 2020

(ENGLISH)

“Dear children! I am listening to your cries and prayers, and am interceding for you before my Son Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Return, little children, to prayer and open your hearts in this time of grace and set out on the way of conversion. Your life is passing and, without God, does not have meaning. This is why I am with you to lead you towards holiness of life, so that each of you may discover the joy of living. I love you all, little children, and am blessing you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Poruka, 25. lipanj 2020

„Draga djeco! Slušam vaše vapaje i molitve i zagovaram pred mojim sinom Isusom za vas koji je put istina i život. Vratite se, dječice, molitvi i otvorite vaša srca u ovom milosnom vremenu i pođite putem obraćenja. Život je vaš prolazan i bez Boga nema smisla. Zato sam s vama da vas vodim prema svetosti života da svaki od vas otkrije radost življenja. Sve vas, dječice, ljubim i blagoslivljem mojim majčinskim blagoslovom. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu."

~ (HR) Evanđelje po Mateju 10:37-42 

37 Tko voli svojega oca ili svoju majku više nego mene, nije me dostojan. Tko voli sina ili kćerku više nego mene, nije me dostojan.

38 Tko ne uzme svoj križ i ne pođe za mnom, nije me dostojan.

39 Tko za sebe čuva svoj život, izgubit će ga, a tko izgubi život zaradi mene, naći će ga.

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!
