October 11, 2024 Reflection – “The gift of my presence…”
“the gift of my presence” October 11, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! As I prayed about this reflection, I heard the words, “my presence…” I realized that we may take the incredible reality of Our Lady’s presence among us for granted. But certainly we should not!! These apparitions of Our Lady in Medjugorje are an intense grace from God. Her presence changes us! Her presence heals us. Her presence delivers us of evil! Her presence directs us towards Heaven and Salvation. Mother Mary is an inestimable gift from God for us in these terrible days. To help us to truly appreciate the amazing gift of Our Lady’s presence in Medjugorje, I have gathered 5 messages in which she talks about her presence. Let’s pray a Rosary in thanksgiving for Mother Mary’s presence among us!! I think is will bless us greatly!! Here are five messages, to be meditated upon at the beginning of each decade: September 25, 2003 “Dear children! Also today I call you to come closer to my heart. Only in this way, will you comprehend the gift of my presence here among you. I desire, little children, to lead you to the heart of my Son Jesus; but you resist and do not desire to open your hearts to prayer. Again, little children, I call you not to be deaf but to comprehend my call, which is salvation for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” October 25, 2005 “Little children, believe, pray and love, and God will be near you. He will give you the gift of all the graces you seek from Him. I am a gift to you, because, from day to day, God permits me to be with you and to love each of you with immeasurable love. Therefore, little children, in prayer and humility, open your hearts and be witnesses of my presence. Thank you for having responded to my call.” June 25, 2007 “Dear children! Also today, with great joy in my heart, I call you to conversion. Little children, do not forget that you are all important in this great plan, which God leads through Medjugorje. God desires to convert the entire world and to call it to salvation and to the way towards Himself, who is the beginning and the end of every being. In a special way, little children, from the depth of my heart, I call you all to open yourselves to this great grace that God gives you through my presence here. I desire to thank each of you for the sacrifices and prayers. I am with you and I bless you all. Thank you for having responded to my call.” September 25, 2008 “Dear children! May your life, anew, be a decision for peace. Be joyful carriers of peace and do not forget that you live in a time of grace, in which God gives you great graces through my presence. Do not close yourselves, little children, but make good use of this time and seek the gift of peace and love for your life so that you may become witnesses to others. I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” June 25, 2009 “Dear children! Rejoice with me, convert in joy and give thanks to God for the gift of my presence among you. Pray that, in your hearts, God may be in the center of your life and with your life witness, little children, so that every creature may feel God’s love. Be my extended hands for every creature, so that it may draw closer to the God of love. I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Prayer: Mother Mary, we are so grateful to you for being present in Medjugorje through your apparitions to the visionaries. Thank you for remaining with us all these years, in order to guide us, teach us, correct us, bless us, and protect us! We are totally grateful to you for loving us so much. We will listen to your messages and live as you advise, always in prayer, fasting, and loving service of our neighbor. We long to share your presence with all those we meet!
