August 11, 2025 Reflection – Medjugorje is a sign to all of you….
Medjugorje is a sign to all of you… August 11, 2025 St. Clare Dear Family of Mary! After an intense week of prayer, catechesis, beautiful celebrations of the Holy Mass, and just plain joy as we sang with the choir, we find ourselves back to a normal routine. But the joy lingers in our hearts!! Thank you, Mother Mary, for the Youth Festival. We have all been replenished! As I prayed about what to share with you today, I heard the word suffering. I decided to do a search in the messages, and I came across this message, April 25, 1992. I realized that this message was given during the Balkan war in the early 90’s. Such a dark time it was, especially for the parishioners of St. James Parish and all those involved with that terrible war. But I then was reminded that our time is no different. We have wars going on in many countries. And we have societal wars going on as well. There is very little peace today. So I want to share this message with you all. It is very meaningful. April 25, 1992 “Dear children! Today also I invite you to prayer. Only by prayer and fasting can war be stopped. Therefore, my dear little children, pray and by your life give witness that you are mine and that you belong to me, because satan wishes in these turbulent days to seduce as many souls as possible. Therefore, I invite you to decide for God and He will protect you and show you what you should do and which path to take. I invite all those who have said ‘yes’ to me to renew their consecration to my Son Jesus and to His Heart and to me so we can take you more intensely as instruments of peace in this unpeaceful world. Medjugorje is a sign to all of you and a call to pray and live the days of grace that God is giving you. Therefore, dear children, accept the call to prayer with seriousness. I am with you and your suffering is also mine. Thank you for having responded to my call.” This message gives us a roadmap for these days. We who are responding to Our Lady’s call have been given a specific job to do. We are being asked to consecrate ourselves to Jesus and Mary, and to become instruments of peace in this unpeaceful world. The people in Medjugorje responded to this very call, and their village was spared. Now it has become an oasis of peace for the whole world. Just think what could happen if we responded to this call together! What good might God be able to do!! God bless, Cathy Nolan Mary TV www.marytv.tv https://marytv.tv/donate/
