The youngest visionary Jakov, is going to tell us some important things about our Lady’s apparitions and answer some questions many people asked like "what is the most important reason why Our Lady is calling us to listen to her messages? The apparitions last already nearly 25 years and many people visited Medjugorje since the apparitions have begun, and many of them ask themselves, "why are these apparitions lasting so long?" and "why Our Lady has been giving us so many messages?"
Jakov always says to everybody, instead of asking why, we should say thank you. Thank God because he let Our Lady to be here for 25 years.
Why these apparitions are lasting such a long period of time? Why Our Lady has been coming to Medjugorje? What does she want?
If we open up our hearts, we will be able to find the right answers by ourselves. Our Lady is coming to us because she is Our Mother Mary and we are her children. She loves us and she wants us to live in peace, joy and love we can only find in Jesus Christ. That is why Our Lady is giving us her messages. What are Our Lady’s messages about? These messages are the way to show us how to reach Jesus and how to get to Jesus. Our Lady is trying to show us this way 25 years.
She wants us to pray, to convert, and to fast so we can live a satisfied and peaceful life. We just have to open up our hearts and to surrender our lifes into her hands, like she said in one of her messages "Dear Children, just open your hearts and I will do the rest...”.
Our Lady says in all Medjugorje messages "pray, pray, pray the holy rosary". She also says that we should renew the prayer of the rosary and pray it with all our heart to feel the joy and peace of the prayer. Our Lady says turn the prayer into the joy. We shouldn't pray if we only do it because we think that someone is expecting from us to do it. Pray only if you feel the need in your heart to do it. Pray if YOU really want to it. Our Lady wants to help us to come to the point where we realize that t is for our own good to pray. She also says that all questions will be answered by prayers.
Many people ask, how to pray fro the bottom of the heart? The answer to this question is very siple: praying from the heart is a natural gift God has given to everyone of us, but numerous people ignore this gift and forget about it. These people have to seek for that gift and God will let us find it again.
Our Lady also says that we should pray together with our families. Find time for God in your family every day. If God is within your family, you will have peace in our family and you will have love in your family. And of course we should be a role model for our children. Fr Slavko always used to say, if you give your children the roots of faith from the beginning, they will always return to the faith, even if they decide to remove themselves from God one day. A little bit of faith you have given to them will stay forever in their hearts.
Just follow your heart, listen to the messages of Virgin Mary and pray for peace for yourself, your beloved ones and for the world and we will all live in a better world.
And don't miss the amazing atmosphere in Medjugorje. Visiting this small town is really a great experience. Stay at one of numerous Medjugorje pansions and have a great time.
I was born in Medjugorje http://www.medjugorjemap.com , Bosnia-Herzegovina.We (my family and I) left the small village when my father got a job offer in Germany.We moved to Germany where I finished highschool and college. I am visiting Medjugorje every year, because I love being in Croatia and Herzegovina, two amazing countries.Thats is the reason why I started to write about these places.
