Today also, the Virgin Mary is calling us. She is inviting us to be her “extended hands in this world”. She has extended, and she continues to extend her hands and her heart to us. She desires that we take her by the hand, that we open our heart to her and that we listen to her voice. The glance that we pose on her with the heart helps us to persevere on the path, on which we have to go, on the way that God intended for us. Mary, our Mother, desires to be present in our families, in our human relations, in our conversations through our life and our deeds. She is not expecting from us to do extraordinary things. She did not do any either. She fulfilled her work through simple and ordinary domestic services, but she was doing simple and insignificant things with an extraordinary love. The real greatness is not to do something extraordinary, but to do all that we do with an extraordinary love. Mary was offering to the Lord small and daily deeds with love. In the privacy of her life, she wanted to please only the Lord. Her will did not waver. For her, God was in the first place, and this is why her life was entirely filled. This is why she is our Mother and our Teacher. As a Mother, she wants to wake us up, and to teach us that it is not important what we do, but how we do it. Through this message also, she is encouraging us to put God in the first place in our life. When God is in the first place, all the rest finds its right place. The worst of all, it is that human beings have forgotten God, and all the rest that happens to us in life, are only the consequences of this. It is strange that human beings do not notice the creator and author of their lives. Even stranger is than human beings are able to turn away from God, and thus destroy themselves and those who are close to them. If we put God at the first place, we will certainly find time for prayer, for the encounter with God. If we seek God sincerely, and if we do not know where to find Him, we must begin to pray, to pray daily. It will not always be easy, but it will be salutary. We find time for what we love. If we love ourselves, we will find prayer, the encounter with God who heals, who saves and who gives the strength to live and give witness in favour of God who is love and peace. Without God, we are weak and helpless, unable to forgive, to love and to give witness in favour of God who is alive and who languishes for us, his children. To believe in God means to abandon oneself to Him, to dare to jump into the arms of God. Then, we will experience that He is carrying us and maintaining every instant of our life. Mary leads us to God, and she is promisins us her intercession and her presence. She offers us the love of her heart, the gentle, tender and salutary love. Let us ask Mary, not to be for us a remote and unknown being, but the Mother who is present and who does not refuse anybody who asks her help and her intercession. Let us listen to her in order to experience already here on earth, in our life and in our families, the foretaste of Heaven. Ljubo Kurtovic Medjugorje, February 26,2005

Razmiljanje uz zadnju Poruka, 25. veljace 2005 STAVITE BOGA NA PRVO MJESTO "Draga djeco! Danas vas pozivam da budete moje ispruene ruke u ovom svijetu koji Boga stavlja na zadnje mjesto. Vi djecice stavite Boga na prvo mjesto u vaem ivotu. Bog ce vas blagosloviti i dati vam snage da svjedocite Boga ljubavi i mira. Ja sam s vama i zagovaram za sve vas. Djecice, ne zaboravite da vas ljubim njenom ljubavlju. Hvala vam to ste se odazvali mome pozivu." Poruka, 25. veljace 2005 Djevica Marija nas i danas poziva. Poziva nas da budemo njezine ispruene ruke u ovom svijetu. Ona je nama pruila i prua svoje ruke i srce. eli da je uzmemo za ruku, da joj otvorimo srce i sluamo njezin glas. Zato na pogled srca na nju nam pomae ustrajati na putu kojim trebamo proci, na putu koji nam je Bog namijenio. Majka Marija eli preko naeg ivota i djelovanja biti prisutna u naim obiteljima, u naim meduljudskim odnosima, u naim razgovorima. Ona od nas ne ocekuje da cinimo neka velicanstvena djela. Ni ona sama nije ucinila neka velika djela. Njezino djelovanje se ispunjavalo u jednostavnim, uobicajenim kucnim poslovima. Male i neznatne poslove obavljala je s izvanrednom ljubavlju. Najveca velicina nije u tome da izvanredno neto cinimo nego u tome da ono svakodnevno cinimo s izvanrednom ljubavlju. Mala i svakodnevna djela Marija je darovala Gospodinu s ljubavlju. Ona se samo Gospodinu htjela svidjeti u skrovitosti svoga ivota. Njezina volja se nije kolebala. Bog joj je bio na prvom mjestu. I zbog toga je njezin ivot bio posve ispunjen. Zato nam je ona majka i uciteljica. Kao majka eli nas probuditi i pouciti da nije vano to cinimo nego kako to cinimo. I ovom porukom nas ohrabruje da Boga stavimo na prvo mjesto u naem ivotu. Kad je Bog na prvom mjestu onda je sve ostalo na svom mjestu. Najvece zlo je u tome to je covjek zaboravio Boga, a ostalo to se dogada u ivotu su samo posljedice. Cudno je da covjek ne zamjecuje tvorca i autora svoga ivota. Jo je cudnije da se covjek moe okrenuti od Boga i tako unitavati samoga sebe i svoje blinje. Ako covjek stavi Boga na prvo mjesto onda ce sigurno pronaci vrijeme za molitvu, za susret s Bogom. Ako covjek iskreno trai Boga a ne zna gdje bi ga pronaao potrebno je da pocne moliti, i potrudi se svakodnevno moliti. Nece to biti uvijek lako ali ce biti spasonosno. Ono to u ivotu volimo za to sigurno nademo vrijeme. Ako covjek voli sebe onda ce nastojati pronaci i izboriti se za molitvu, za susretanje s Bogom koje ozdravlja, spaava i daje snage da se ivi i svjedoci Boga koji je ljubav i mir. Bez Boga smo u svemu nemocni i slabi. Nemocni smo da pratamo, ljubimo i svjedocimo Boga koji je iv i koji cezne za nama, svojom djecom. Vjerovati Bogu znaci predati se njemu. Usuditi se skociti u Boje ruke, i tada cemo iskusiti da nas On nosi i uzdrava svaki trenutak naeg ivota. Marija nas vodi Bogu i obecava svoj zagovor i svoju prisutnost. Daruje nam ljubav svoga srca koja je blaga, njena i spasonosna. Molimo Mariju i s Marijom da nam ona ne bude neko daleko i nepoznato bice nego prisutna Majka koja nikoga ne odbija tko se njoj u zagovor utjece i njezinu pomoc zatrai. Posluajmo je kako bismo imali i doivjeli vec ovdje predokus neba u svome ivotu i obiteljima. Fra Ljubo Kurtovic
