MEDJUGORJE: OUR LADY WAS IN GREAT PAIN AND ANGUISH “IN A DIFFERENT WAY”
In this time of grace, which has lasted since June 24, 1981, is characterized by an event that is unique in the history of humanity, the presence of Our Lady among us on earth. Our Lady invites us, like never before, to take his only-begotten Son Jesus Christ as an example and to always follow in his footsteps and teachings.
The Holy Mother implores us to live the biblical commandments that the Church calls you to follow and she warns us of the consequences if we choose another way, saying: “Satan wishes to destroy everything that is holy in you and around you. This is why, little children, pray, pray, pray to be able to grasp all that God is giving you through my coming.”
We must not ignore the warnings of our celestial Mother when she tells us that Satan is active in this biblical battle between good and evil. On September 25, 1992 Our Lady said: “Dear children! Today again I would like to say to you that I am with you also in these troubled days during which Satan wishes to destroy all that my Son Jesus and I are building.
He desires especially to destroy your souls. He wants to take you away as far as possible from the Christian life and from the commandments that the Church calls you to live. Satan wishes to destroy everything that is holy in you and around you. This is why, little children, pray, to be able to grasp all that God is giving you through my coming.
Thank you for having responded to my call.” The Visionary Ivan, in a special year-end message in December 2020, said: “Our lives have been changed since the temporary darkness of this storm has entered the Church and the world. Life seems complicated and uncertain; our hearts are restless. Many feel anxious and frightened.
We seek clarity; we seek light; we seek true peace. Now more than ever, our Mother’s voice is being heard. Our Lady is the new voice calling out in the desert: “Do not be afraid of the storm! It is more important to prepare your hearts for the Lord! Be alive in hope! Our Lady gives us the remedy of hope: conversion, prayer from the heart, especially the Rosary, active reading of the Scriptures, frequent confession, fasting and Holy Mass.
For 40 years Our Lady has asked us to pray for the realization of her plans.”
