(EN) On the evening of that first day of the week,
when the doors were locked, where the disciples were,

for fear of the Jews,
Jesus came and stood in their midst
and said to them, "Peace be with you."
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.
The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, so I send you."
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,
"Receive the Holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,
and whose sins you retain are retained."

(HR) 19 Te su se večeri prvoga dana u tjednu učenici sastali iza zaključanih vrata zbog straha od židovskih vođa kad odjednom među njih stane Isus. Pozdravi ih: 'Mir vama!'
20 Kad im je to rekao, pokaže im svoje ruke i bok. Učenici se razvesele kad ugledaju svojega Gospodina.
21 Isus im opet reče: 'Mir vama! Kao što je mene poslao Otac, tako i ja šaljem vas.'
22 Zatim dahne u njih i reče: 'Primite Svetoga Duha!
23 Kojima oprostite grijehe, oprošteni su im. Kojima ne oprostite grijehe, nisu im oprošteni.'

SUPER COMBO! God's Covenant: RAINBOW & CROSS

Let's remember Our Father's covenant with us, even when we don't see a rainbow. :-) when all we might see is the rain falling... 
Trust in Him who sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, who answered God's will & was crucified & died on the cross for us. He did it in love to redeem our sins & humanity. Salvation for every soul & for every living creature on earth.

Thank you! Thank God. 

Let's be a light and follow the example of the Light of the world.

"Peace, Peace, Peace! Be reconciled! Only Peace. 

Make your peace with God and among yourselves. 

For that, it is necessary to believe, to pray, to fast, and to go to confession." 

~(Upon returning to the village after the apparition, Friday, June 26, 1981, visionary Marija saw the Blessed Virgin, in tears, near a cross with rainbow colors)

God said to Noah after the flood, 

"Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, 

I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” 

~Genesis

The cross is seen as a symbol of the ultimate sacrifice. 

It evokes Jesus’ death & resurrection. 

The sign of the cross is a mark of discipleship. We can carry our crosses daily, even when we slip & fall on a slippery path in the love and the belief and promise that God gave us and in His reminder, a rainbow. By doing the sign of the cross, you're saying to the Lord, "I want to obey you; I belong to you. You direct all my decisions. I will always be obedient to God's law, Christ's teachings When suffering, the sign of the cross is a sign of acceptance: remembering that Jesus became a man and suffered for us and that we participate in Christ's suffering. It brings Him closer to you to help you when you stumble.

Pray for PEACE for the Korean Peninsula! And true peace and love in everyone's heart

Pray for PEACE for the Korean Peninsula!

And true peace and love in everyone's heart throughout the world.

"Salvation is available to everyone, without exception."

Gospa's statue on Apparition Hill is said to have been donated by a Buddhist Korean family in 2001 who had been to Medjugorje praying for their child. in gratitude.

Mir-Peace pilgrimage group prays in Spirit with the Blessed Virgin Mary to Jesus Christ every time we travel to this Croatian Catholic parish shrine, heaven on earth, where people of all religions can come together, sharing faith in God Our Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. During a recent trip, guide & translator Darlene Milas took 2 of these photos.

The plaque at the base of the statue in Korean,

then in Croatian & English languages:

Za mir na Korejskom poloutoku! (Hrvatski - Croatian language)

Peace on the Korean peninsula! (English)

text In small print at bottom of plaque: Republic of Korea

Our Lady answered a question in 1985: " it is you who are divided on earth. The Muslims and the Orthodox, for the same reason as Catholics ((all religions)) , are equal before my Son and me. You are all my children. Certainly, all religions are not equal, but all men are equal before God,... it is necessary to respect the commandments of God in following one's conscience. Those who are not Catholics are no less creatures made in the image of God, and are destined to rejoin someday the House of the Father. Salvation is available to everyone, without exception."

North and South Korea move to end the Korean War in historic accord.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will meet on Friday in an act of diplomacy not seen for more than a decade... comes after months of improving relations between the two countries... Denuclearisation and peace on the peninsula will top the agenda... the summit carries promise for both Koreas. ~BBC news.

Let us pray together for God's will to be done here on earth. After all, we trust that true love will open heaven to every soul. Thank God! Let's be a light and help Jesus Christ and his mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.#prayerworks

(HRVATSKI - Croatian language) Ja sam s vama i Bogu zahvaljujem za svakoga od vas koji je s ozbiljnošću prihvatio i živi molitvu. 

She also repeats her words of wisdom to us through the visionaries, excellent advice, including these phrases in that same message:

(EN) I call you to pray from your whole heart and to love each other. (HR) Pozivam vas da molite iz svega srca i ljubite jedni druge.

(EN) Little children, you are chosen to witness peace and joy. If there is no peace, pray, and you will receive it. Through you and your prayer, little children, peace will begin to flow through the world. 
(HR) Dječice, vi ste izabrani da svjedočite mir i radost. Ako mira nema molite i dobit ćete ga. Preko vas i vaše molitve, dječice, mir će poteći svijetom.

(EN)... pray, pray, pray, because prayer works miracles in human hearts and in the world. 
(HR) dječice, molite, molite, molite jer molitva čini čudesa u ljudskim srcima i u svijetu.

We are not alone. We're in it together. Let's light up the world. BE A LIGHT, joining the Light of the World, our brother, Jesus Christ... helping others to feel the joy of that true love as well.
