Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" 50 But they did not understand what he said to them. 51 He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus advanced [in] wisdom and age and favor before God and man.

Self-denial, Perseverance 28 After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I thirst." 29 There was a vessel filled with common wine. So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth. 30 When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, "It is finished." And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit. Return to the top The Resurrection of Our Lord - Jesus rises from the dead. Faith 6 He said to them, "Do not be amazed! You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been raised; he is not here.

Hope 10 While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them. 11 They said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky?

Then he allowed him. 16 After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened [for him], and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove [and] coming upon him. 17 And a voice came from the heavens, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." The Self-Manifestation of Our Lord at the wedding of Cana - Jesus changes water into wine and opens the hearts of the disciples to faith. To Jesus through Mary 1 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine." 4 [And] Jesus said to her, "Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come." His mother said to the servers, "Do whatever he tells you." 6 Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. 7 Jesus told them, "Fill the jars with water." So they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he told them, "Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter." So they took it. 9 And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, "Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now." 11 Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him. The Proclamation of the Kingdom of God, with the Call to Conversion - Jesus preaches about the Kingdom of God and calls for conversion.

Krunica je jednostavna molitva satkana od temeljnih molitava naše vjere: Vjerovanje, Očenaš, Zdravo Marijo ... U taj niz utkana je molitva kojom slavimo Presveto Trojstvo u ime cijelog svemira: Slava Ocu i Sinu i Duhu Svetomu. Pogledajte na [ovom linku]. Ako poznaješ Boga, našao si prijatelja iznad svih, ako znaš moliti, Bog te čuje i uslišit će tvoju molbu, ako se vežeš uz Boga, nitko više neće moći uništiti tvoj život, ako zaista tražiš Boga, On će ti oprostiti sve tvoje ludosti, ako nađeš Boga, otkrio si puninu svog života. Ako nađeš put do Krista i čuješ Božju riječ, ti ćeš osjetiti Božju blizinu i Bog je tvoj dom. Krunica ti pokazuje kako je Isus živio, Krunica je tvoj zajednički put s Kristom, Vodi te k Ocu, daje ti Duha i snage, Vodi t na visinama života, na vrhunce radosti i mira, Pokazuje ti goruće ideale i veličanstvenost vječnog života. Moli krunicu svakodnevno, tako ćeš svakodnevno napredovati. Bog je tvoj Otac! On se brine o tebi i voli te. Njega možeš za sve moliti, jer On želi da živiš i da imaš život u punini. Bog je svet: bezgranična, neopipljiva, goruća vatra. Tko njega spozna, klanja se pred njim pun strahopoštovanja. Ako dođeš Bogu, On postaje središtem tvog života. Tvoj oslonac, tvoj smisao i cilj, tvoja čvrsta osnova, tvoje blago i sreća. Ako dođeš k Bogu, On dolazi k tebi: Dođi kraljevstvo Tvoje! Boga ćeš naći ako tražiš Njegovu volju: Budi volja Tvoja! Većina ljudi živi daleko od Boga, jer žele biti "slobodni". Ali bez Boga čovjek gubi temelj i oslonac, smisao i cilj. Vrati se natrag kući, k Ocu, i ostani mu vjeran. Oprosti nam duge naše! Ali Bog će ti orpostiti samo ako imaš ljubavi, jer Bog je Ljubav; prestani dakle s neprijateljstvima. Inače ti Bog neće oprostiti. Život je odlučivanje između dobra i zla, između Boga i čovjekovog ja: Ne uvedi nas u napast! Iz đavoljeg kruga krivice i udaljenosti od Boga može nas izbaviti samo Jedan: Bog je Izbavitelj, Spasitelj i Osloboditelj: Izbavi nas od zla ! Marija je put kojim je Bog došao k nama: kroz Mariju smo primili Isusa, a kroz Isusa ćemo naći put Bogu Ocu. Put kojim je Bog došao k nama i za nas je najsigurniji put da dospijemo k Bogu: Marija nam pokazuje Isusa, Isus nam pokazuje Oca! Kroz Mariju ćeš dospjeti do Isusa, kroz snažnu vjeru do Njegove riječi. To je iskustvo kršćanstva počevši od proganjane Crkve prvih stoljeća do današnjih dana. Danas je kod mnogih poljuljana vjera. Vjeruju u razum, slobodu, napredak, ali ne više u božanstvo Krista. No samo je On Put, Istina i život. Bez njega nitko ništa ne zna o Bogu, o onostranosti, o vječnom, o svrsi i cilju života. Samo on poznaje Oca. Ako želiš iskusiti duboku vjeru u Isusa Krista, moli svakodnavno krunicu. Tada će Marija i tebi donijeti Gospodina, to joj je naložio Bog. Ona je Majka Božja, Majka vjere, Majka Crkve. Ona je i tvoja Majka. Ako je Marija tvoja majka, zauvijek ćeš imati Boga za Oca. Prihvati Mariju u svoj život i moli krunicu ! Godinu 2003 (A.D.2003) je sveti otac papa Ivan - Pavao II nazvao ''Godinom krunice'' proglašavajući nova otajstva krunice: otajstva svjetla, te tako pozvao cijeli kršćanski katolički puk na molitvu krunice. Između ostalog sveti otac papa je naglasio: '' Krunica je moja najmilija molitva ! Krunica nas smješta u živo zajedništo s Isusom po srcu Njegove Majke. Vi ljubite Isusovu majku, moleći krunicu. Potičem Vas da ustrajete u toj svojoj pobožnosti koja Vas, ako je ispravno shvatite i živite, zasigurno, vodi tome da sve više proničete u otajstvo Krista, našeg Spasitelja '' (Papa Ivan - Pavao II) Što je to Krunica ? Krunica je evanđeoska molitva, jer iz evanđelja crpi predmet otajstava i poglavito svoje oblike. Nadahnjuje se na evanđelju i nudi vjernicima cijeli misterij Isusova života od otajstva začeća Isusova, preko čudesa i propovijedanja, pa sve do njegove smrti, uskrsnuća i uzašašća. Četverostruka razdioba krunice na radosna, žalosna, slavna i otajstva svjetla predstavlja temeljni nacrt iskonskog navještaja vjere i ponovno uprisutnjuje Kristovo otajstvo u svijetu, otajstvo u kojem ga je ugledao sv. Pavao i opisao u glasovitom hvalospjevu Poslanice Filipljnima: poniženje, smrt, uzvišenje (Fil 2,6 - 11). Druga bitna sastavnica krunice je razmatranje. Po svojoj prirodi molitva krunice zahtijeva smireni ritam i misaoni element kršćanske meditacije, što u molitelja pospješuje razmatranje otajstava Gospodinova života, kako ih je moguće spoznati kroz srce One koja je bila najbliža Gospodinu. Zbog toga, molitva krunice je u najužoj vezi s Marijom Majkom Isusovom koja je bila sjedinjena s Kristom u njegovu spasiteljskom poslanju. Zato je molitva krunice istodobno i molitva Mariji, našoj najboljoj posrednici i zagovornici kod svoga Sina, a našega Gospodina. '' Krunica je molitva koju na poseban način molimo zajedno s Marijom, baš onako kako su zajedno s njome molili apostoli u blagovalištu 'Posljednje večere' kada su se pripravljali na primitak Duha Svetoga '' (Papa Ivan – Pavao II) Po sakramentima je kršćanin suobličen s Kristom: njegovo biće je na novo preobraženo. Odatle proizlazi kršćaninova obveza da živi poput Krista. Da bi pak mogao živjeti poput Krista, prijeko je potrebno da kršćanin neprestance ima pred očima otajstva Isusova života. Crkva mu ih predlaže u sakramentalnim slavljima, posebno u euharistijskome slavlju i kroz liturgijsku godinu. S druge strane, nitko nikada nije savršenije nasljedovao Spasitelja, nitko mu nikada nije bio suobličeniji od Njegove Majke Marije. Prema tome, krunica je jednostavno pomagalo po kojem svaki kršćanin koji moli krunicu ima pred očima svoje duše prisutnost Isusovih i Marijinih otajstava, kako bi ona bila svjetlo u našem životu, koji bi trebao biti što suobličeniji s Njima. Razmatranje otajstava odvija se na podlozi glasovnog ponavljanja Zdravomarije. Na taj način mole usne i srce, a cjelovita osoba molitelja ulazi u zajedništvo s Bogom po Kristu jedinom posredniku između Boga i ljudi. Dakle, moliti krunicu znači uključiti se u veliku struju molitve, u nebrojeni zbor kršćanskih i svetačkih naraštaja koji su je ljubili i provodili u životu. '' Ako je krunica oduvijek bila molitva 'teških vremena Crkve', osobito je danas prijeko potrebno da ona uđe u svagdanji život svih vjernika, kako bi u njima razbudila i razjačala vjeru u Boga i njegovu Crkvu. Henrik M. Rossetti, OP) '' Marijina krunica je uzdignuta na stupanj velebne, javne i sveopće molitve u redovnim i izvanrednim potrebama svete Crkve, naroda i svijeta. '' (Papa Ivan XXIII) Kako se moli krunica ? Uzevši krunicu u ruku poljubi se sveti križ izgovarajući riječi: O Isuse, to je tebi za ljubav, za obraćenje grješnika i kao naknada za uvrede koje se nanose Bezgrješnom Srcu Marijinu. Dalje se nastavi znakom križa: U ime Oca i Sina i Duha Svetoga. Amen. Držeći križ izmoli se Apostolsko vjerovanje: Vjerujem u jednog Boga, Oca svemogućega, stvoritelja neba i zemlje. I u Isusa Krista Sina njegova jedinoga. Gospodina našega, koji je začet po Duhu Svetom, rođen od Marije Djevice, mučen pod Poncijem Pilatom, raspet, umro i pokopan, sašao nad pakao, treći dan Uskrsnuo od mrtvih, Uzašao na Nebesa, sjedi o desnu Boga Oca Svemogućega, odonud će doći i suditi žive i mrtve. Vjerujem u Duha Svetoga, svetu Crkvu Kakoličku, općinstvo svetih, oproštenje grijeha, uskrsnuće tijela i život vječni. Amen. Nakon vjerovanja, na prvo zrno koje slijedi poslije križa moli se: Oče naš, koji jesi na nebesima, sveti se Ime Tvoje … Na sljedeća tri zrna mole se tri Zdravomarije s nakanama: Koji neka nam umnoži vjeru. Koji neka nam učvrsti nadu. Koji neka nam usavrši ljubav. Na petom zrnu moli se Slava Ocu. (Uvijek iza Slava Ocu dodaje se molitva koju je Gospa naučila djecu u Fatimi, a glasi: "O moj Isuse, oprosti nam naše grijehe; očuvaj nas od paklenog ognja; dovedi u raj sve duše, osobito one kojima je najpotrebnije Tvoje milosrđe".) Zatim se prijeđe na molitvu desetice t.j. otajstava (radosna, žalosna, slavna i svjetla) ovisno u kojem se danu moli: (Radosna otajstva – Ponedeljak i Četvrtak, Žalosna otajstva – Utorak i Petak, Slavna otajstva – Srijeda, Subota i Nedjelja, Otajstva svjetla – Četvrtak i Subota.) Uvijek je dobro da nakon pročitanog otajstva, što će ga molitelj razmatrati, uslijedi kratko razmišljanje o tom otajstvu. U svakom otajstvu (desetici) moli se jedan Očenaš, deset Zdravomarija, jedan Slava Ocu i Fatimska molitva. Preporuča se nakon pet desetica izmoliti Očenaš, Zdravomariju i Slava Ocu na čast Duhu Svetome po nakani Svetoga oca, te dodati molitvu Zdravo Kraljice i Lauretanske litanije. Koja su to otajstva krunice ? - RADOSNA OTAJSTVA : Koga si, Djevice, po Duhu Svetom začela. Koga si, Djevice, Elizabeti u pohode nosila. Koga si, Djevice, rodila. Koga si, Djevice, u hramu prikazala. Koga si, Djevice, u hramu našla. - ŽALOSNA OTAJSTVA : Koji se za nas krvlju znojio. Koji je za nas bičevan bio. Koji je za nas trnjem okrunjen bio. Koji je za nas teški križ nosio. Koji je za nas raspet bio. - SLAVNA OTAJSTVA : Koji je od mrtvih uskrsnuo. Koji je na nebo uzašao. Koji je Duha Svetoga poslao. Koji je tebe, Djevice, na nebo uzeo. Koji je tebe, Djevice, na nebu okrunio. - OTAJSTVA SVJETLA : Koji je na rijeci Jordanu kršten bio. Koji nam se na svadbi u Kani objavio. Koji nam je Kraljevstvo Božje navjestio i na obraćenje nas pozvao. Koji se na Gori preobrazio i svoju nam slavu objavio. Koji nam se u otajstvu Euharistije darovao. Kako je nastala krunica ? Vrijeme nastanka svete krunice može biti nekako zaokruženo između 12. i 16. stoljeća. Početkom 12. stoljeća na Zapadu se širila praksa recitiranja molitve Zdravo Marijo. Naravno da je anđeoski pozdrav bio poznat u kršćanstvu još prije ovog vremena, to je dio svetog evanđelja, te se koristio kao darovna antifona IV. nedjelje adventa, nedjelje koja je imala poseban marijanski naglasak. Ovdje se htjelo, ponavljanjem ove antifone, postići ono što je već prije toga u samostanima bilo uobičajeno ponavljanjem molitve Očenaš, za one monahe i redovnike koji nisu znali čitati, a kao nadomještaj za 150 psalama. Od molitva Zdravo Marijo je bio poznat i recitiran samo njezin prvi dio anđeoski pozdrav, i Elizabetin blagoslov. Tek pred kraj XV. stoljeća, kada se raširio običaj moljenja "Sveta Marijo", bilo je pridodano izgovaranje imena Isus, i završni Amen. Također je važno napomenuti za shvaćanje nastanka i razvoja svete krunice, da je ovaj način moljenja "Psaltira" izgovaranjem molitava Očenaš ili Zdravo Marijo, bio podijeljen na tri dijela, prema ustaljenom načinu moljenja u samostanima. Njemački kartuzijanac Henrik Kalkar (1328-1408) je podijelio 150 Zdravo Marija na 15 desetki između kojih je umetnuo molitvu Očenaš. Nekako u isto vrijeme nastaje legenda o nastanku krunice od strane svetog Dominika, utemeljitelja Reda dominikanaca, koju je osobito širio njegov subrat Alan de la Roche. Ova legenda ne može biti u potpunosti prihvaćena, ali se ne smije niti odbaciti. Naime, dokumentacija o nastanku tzv. "Marijanskog psaltira" je dokumentirana upravo od strane sv. Dominika (1170-1221), jer su zacijelo Dominik i njegova subraća koristili ovakav način molitve. Bez obzira na to ovo još uvijek ne objašnjava kako se došlo do razmatranja povijesti spasenja kroz molitvu svete krunice. Prvi dokument koji potvrđuje postojanje ili pokušaj da se ujedini molitva ponavljanja Zdravo Marija sa meditacijama otajstava uzetih iz svetog evanđelja dolazi iz XV. stoljeća. Između godine 1410. i 1439, kartuzijanac iz Kölna, Dominik Pruski, predlaže jednu novu formu prema kojoj je moljenje Zdravo Marija svedeno na 50, ali je svakoj molitvi Zdravo Marijo pridodano određeni odlomak svetog evanđelja. Ti odlomci su bili raspodijeljeni tako da ih je 14 razmatralo život Isusov prije početka javnog djelovanja; 6 njegovo javno djelovanje; 24 njegovu muku i smrt; te ostalih šest uskrsnuće Isusovo, slavu i krunjenje Marijino. Ovakav način razmatranja otajstava spasenja dovest će i do podjele na tri velika otajstva: radosno, žalosno i slavno. Upravo Dominiku Pruskom moramo zahvaliti postojanje tog obnovljenog načina moljenja "Marijanskog psaltira", koji je uz manje izmjene došao i sačuvao se do današnjeg dana. Ovaj njegov primjer je kasnije pridobio puno ljubitelja i onih koji su to gorljivo prenosili drugima. Osobito u XV. stoljeću će ova vrsta molitve doživjeti svoj veliki procvat te će točke uzete iz svetog evanđelja o kojima se razmatra dostići visoki broj 300. Veliku važnost oko širenja ove pobožnosti, koja od sada nosi naziv "Ružarij Blažene Djevice Marije", ima već spominjani Alan de la Roche (1428-1478), suvremenik Dominika Pruskog. To je činio osobito propovijedanjem, ali i preko marijanskih bratstava koja je sam osnivao. Nakon što se ova pobožnost jako raširila među vjernicima osjetila se potreba da se još oblikuje u smislu pojednostavljivanja. Godine 1521 dominikanac Alberto da Castello je sveo ova otajstva na svega 15, na načina da ih je formulirao tako da bi se oni razmatrali u obliku kratkog teksta ili bi se jednostavno ponavljali kratki zazivi iza svakog moljenja prvog dijela Zdravo Marijo. Mnoga marijanska bratstva širom tadašnje Europe rado su prihvatila ovu "reformiranu" pobožnost. Marijanska pobožnost i sveta krunica doživjeli su ogroman uspjeh i prihvaćanje: od siromašnih obitelji, župnih crkvi, pa sve do najvećih svjetskih katedrala i do na kraj svijeta u misijama. Ova divna pobožnost privlači i danas i okuplja na molitvu ljude svih slojeva, pokušavajući tako pronaći neke nove forme i neke nove načine razmatranja otajstava spasenja, ali nikada više ne odstupajući od onoga koji je zacrtao Alberto da Castello i njegovi prethodnici. OBEĆANJA PRESVETE DJEVICE MARIJE MOLITELJIMA KRUNICE (Obećanja primio blaženi Alan de la Roche) · Svima koji budu molili moju krunicu obećajem svoju najveću zaštitu. · Krunica će biti najmoćnije oružje protiv pakla, uništit će mane, raspršiti grijehe i pobiti krivovjerja. · Tko se krunicom bude preporučio, neće propasti. · Tkogod uz razmatranja otajstava bude pobožno molio svetu krunicu, obratit će se ako je grješnik, porasti u milosti ako je pravednik i postati dostojan života vječnoga. · Svaki dan iz čistilišta ja izbavljam duše koje su pobožno molile moju krunicu. · Prava djeca moje krunice uživat će veliku radost na nebesima. · Što budeš zaiskao moleći krunicu, dobit ćeš. · Promicateljima moje krunice priteći ću u pomoć u svakoj nevolji. · Pobožnost svete krunice veliki je znak predodređenja. Zaključak : Isus je svima nama kršćanima, umirući na križu, dao svoju Majku za majku, preko Ivana apostola, te nam je preporučio i predložio da je ljubimo kao svoju Majku. Isus je tada znao da je njegovo spasiteljsko djelo privedeno kraju, te da je došao do posljednjih iskaza savršenstva. To nam daje razumjeti da je ljubav prema Majci Božjoj vrhunac Božanskog života Milosti. Povratak Home
