On Christmas Day we celebrate the birth of Jesus. On 25 December Our Lady gave us a message, which is a reminder and a call. She says: Dear children! You are running, working, gathering – but without blessing. These words are true. They touch us even deeper because they come from the mouth of Our Lady. If we just look around, we can notice how anxiously worried about material things we all are. We work hard and have no blessing. There is no blessing because we do not put God first. One was able to notice that these few days before Christmas when wholesale stores, shops and hair salons were more crowded that confessionals. A great attention is paid to appearances, whereas we do not strive towards the inner beauty of the soul that much. If we were so concerned with our salvation and spiritual life as much as we are concerned with external things, Paradise would soon start blooming on Earth. In her message Our lady continues by saying: You are not praying! In the morning, before going to work, most Catholics just make the sign of the cross, without any other more profound prayer. In the evening, already tired from work, we fall asleep at the second Hail Mary. And it goes on in this way day by day. Our body is getting tired, but our soul is getting even more tired. Then we ask ourselves: Why there is no blessing? Why does not God hear us? He does hear us, but it is us that do not hear Him. Whenever He comes, we are not at home. Our Lady calls us to stop in front of the manger and to meditate on Jesus, Whom she gives to us today also, to bless us and to help us to comprehend that, without Him, we have no future. Christmas, the birth of Jesus, is a holiday of the eternal and infinite love of God that has entered history in the form of an innocuous child. While we are meditating and thinking of the birth of Jesus, we must bear in mind that it is not merely a nice story of a little child, shepherds, angels and kings who lived a long time ago. It is a holiday that speaks about the incessant connection between God and man. It is not an event that occurred a long time ago. It is a reality that should be happening in us every day. God becomes embodied and becomes God with us every day. We encounter Him at Holy Mass, in sacraments, in prayers and in good deeds. Jesus wants to keep on being born in us, His beloved sons and daughters, as well as in the community of His believers, in the Church, which is His mysterious embodiment. Our Lady offers us a solution to all our fears and anxieties – it is Her son Jesus. She says: Surrender your lives into the hands of Jesus, for Him to lead you and protect you from every evil. Only in the hands of Jesus, only in His heart shall we have true protection from every evil. Let us bear witness to the Joyful News and let us be happy feeling that primordial joy St. Paul calls us to: «Brothers! Rejoice in the Lord always! I will say it again: Rejoice!» Let us not be gold diggers who struggle their entire lives searching for gold, finding it, digging it, but remaining the poorest although holding gold in their hands. Let the newly born Jesus bless our whole life and all our noble strivings. Danko Perutina

Razmiljanje uz zadnju Poruka, 25. prosinca 2008 PREDAJTE SVOJE ŽIVOTE U ISUSOVE RUKE "Draga djeco! Trcite, radite, skupljate, a bez blagoslova. Vi ne molite! Danas vas pozivljem da se zaustavite ispred jaslica i meditirate o Isusu kojega vam i danas dajem da vas blagoslovi i pomogne da shvatite da bez njega nemate buducnosti. Zato, djecice, predajte svoje živote u Isusove ruke da vas on vodi i štiti od svakoga zla. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu." Poruka, 25. prosinca 2008. Na dan Božica slavimo blagdan Isusovog rodenja. Gospa nam je 25. prosinca dala poruku koja je ujedno opomena i poziv. Ona kaže: Draga djeco! Trcite, radite, skupljate, a bez blagoslova. Sve ove rijeci su istinite. Još nas više diraju jer dolaze iz Gospinih usta. Ako pogledamo oko sebe možemo primijetiti kako smo svi tjeskobno zabrinuti za materijalna dobra. Puno radimo a blagoslova nema. Nema ga zato što nam Bog nije na prvom mjestu. Ovih nekoliko dana pred Božic moglo se primijetiti kako su veleprodaje, prodavaonice, frizerski saloni puniji nego ispovjedaonice. Velika se pažnja posvecuje vanjskom izgledu dok se za nutarnju cistocu duše ne borimo baš toliko. Kad bi bili toliko zabrinuti za naše spasenje i duhovni život kao za izvanjske stvari, ovdje na zemlji bi brzo procvjetao raj. Gospa u poruci nadalje kaže: Vi ne molite! Vecina katolika ujutro prije posla napravi samo znak križa bez neke dublje molitve. Navecer umorni od posla zaspemo vec kod druge Zdravomarije i tako iz dana u dan. Tijelo se umara a duša još više. I onda se pitamo: zašto nema blagoslova? Zašto nas Bog ne cuje? Cuje on nas ali mi ne cujemo njega. Kad god dode nismo kod kuce. Gospa nas poziva da se zaustavimo ispred jaslica i meditiramo, razmišljamo o Isus kojega nam je donijela da nas on blagoslovi i pomogne da shvatimo kako bez njega nemamo buducnosti. Božic, porodenje Isusovo je blagdan vjecne i bezgranicne Božje ljubavi koja je ušla u našu povijest uzimajuci bezazleni lik djeteta. Dok meditiramo, razmišljamo o Isusovu rodenju moramo imati na umnu kako to nije samo lijepa prica o malom djetetu, pastirima, andelima i kraljevima koji su živjeli u davna vremena. To je blagdan koji govori o neprestanoj povezanosti izmedu Boga i covjeka. To nije dogadaj koji se dogodio nekada davno. To je stvarnost koja bi se trebao dogadati svaki dan u nama. Bog se utjelovljuje i svaki dan postaje Bog s nama. Susrecemo ga u svetoj misi, u sakramentima, u molitvi, u dobrim djelima. Isus se želi neprestano radati u nama svojim ljubljenim sinovima i kcerima a isto tako u zajednici njegovih vjernika, u Crkvi koja je njegovo otajstveno tijelo. Gospa nam daje rješenje za sve naše strahove, tjeskobe nemire a to je njen sin Isu Krist. Ona kaže: Predajte svoje živote u Isusove ruka da vas on vodi i štiti od svakoga zla. Samo u Isusovim rukama, u njegovom srcu cemo imati pravu zaštitu od svake vrste zla. Budimo svjedoci Radosne vijesti i radujmo se onom iskonskom radošcu na koju nas poziva sv. Pavao:«Braco! Radujte se u Gospodinu uvijek! Ponavljam: Radujte se!» (Fil 4,4). Ne budimo kao kopaci zlata koji se muce cijeli život i traže zlato, iskopavaju ga, pronalaze a uvijek ostaju najsiromašniji iako drže zlato u rukama. Neka novorodeni Isus blagoslovi cijeli naš život i sva naša plemenita nastojanja. Fra Danko Perutina
