What can I do to get closer to Jesus?

  (c)Mateo Ivankovic 2017 What can I do to get closer to Jesus? April 1, 2019 Dear Family of Mary! We are mid-way through Lent, and many of us may be flagging in our zeal! Our Lenten practices can become tedious. I must admit I am not doing that well with mine. So, Denis suggested I share with you one of his favorite messages from Our Lady of Medjugorje. It is a message given through Ivan, on the mountain to his prayer group several years ago (December 28, 2012): “Dear children, also today I desire to call you to joy. Anew I call you to joy!  I call you at the same time to responsibility. Dear children, except my messages responsibly and live my messages, because in the living of my messages I desire to lead you to my Son. “All of these years that I have been together with you my finger has been directed toward the Son, towards Jesus.  I have a desire to lead all of you to Him.  Therefore, these days that are upcoming, may your question also be – and I pose this question to you – ‘What can I do that my heart may be closer to Jesus?’  May this question lead you.  Say to yourselves, ‘What must I leave behind?  What must I reject that my heart may be closer to Jesus?’   “Pray dear children, and I will pray for all of you that your answer in your hearts may be, ‘Yes, I desire to be closer to Jesus!’  Thank you, dear children, for having responded to my call.” (December 28, 2012 – To Ivan on Apparition Hill) For the next three weeks, let’s do as Our Lady says, every day!! “What can I do that my heart may be closer to Jesus? What must I leave behind? What must I reject that my heart may be closer to Jesus?” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!Cathy Nolan©Mary TV 2019 PS.
