Message of December 25, 2004 “Dear children! With great joy, also today I carry my Son Jesus in my arms to you; He blesses you and calls you to peace. Pray, little children, and be courageous witnesses of Good News in every situation. Only in this way will God bless you and give you everything you ask of Him in faith. I am with you as long as the Almighty permits me. I intercede for each of you with great love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” I carry my Son Jesus in my arms to you “Dear children! With great joy, also today I carry my Son Jesus in my arms to you; He blesses you and calls you to peace. Pray, little children, and be courageous witnesses of Good News in every situation. Only in this way will God bless you and give you everything you ask of Him in faith. I am with you as long as the Almighty permits me. I intercede for each of you with great love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Message of December 25, 2004 Mary is joyful because she is coming from the joy, the glory, from the celestial fatherland, which we must still join. She appears because she wants that we also arrive and be where she is. Her maternal desire to see us where she is, is as great as the joy that she is carrying in her heart. As on the first day of the apparitions, today also, she is carrying in her arms Jesus, her Son and our Saviour. In her arms and in her heart, she is carrying God, she is giving him to us and she is leading us towards him. Mary, our Mother, desires that we also can hear and listen to the words of the angel, like the shepherds: “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” (Lk 2,10-11) The Saviour of the world is born for you and for me, for each person. God is born, “and to as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God.” Jesus is unique in all the history of humanity. Because he lived, because he existed, we do not have the right to despair, whatever our cross, our illnes and our suffering may be. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (Jn 3,16) God gave his Son Jesus to save you, to save me. God so much loved the world that he desired to become man and to take upon oneself human life, human sufferings, even death, to destroy it. We celebrate Christmas, the birthday of Jesus. It is a day of joy and of blessing for the earth, for all humanity. Since his coming, nothing is the same any more in the history of humanity. “The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.” (Is 9,1) We also, we can leave our darkness, our illnesses and our fears, because God came in our darkness, in our sins and in our illnesses to destroy them. The birth of Jesus was neither pleasant, nor idyllic. He was born in a manger, among the animals, “because there was no room for them in the inn.” (Lc 2,7) The manger inside of us, it is the space in which live the animals. It is the space which we would like to hide of ourselves and of others. We are ashamed of it, because it is not clean and it does not smell good. But he wants to be been born today in the manger of our heart, where all is not perfumed or pleasant. But Jesus wants to come in our hearts, to illuminate everything by his blessing, by himself. It is such a God that Mary, our Mother, brings to us and offers to us today. We can be united with Jesus, because he is within us. We have the possibility of becoming almighty by the faith in him, because he is the Almighty and the Highest. Then, we can become courageous witnesses of the presence of God, and his Almightiness on this earth, in our situations and in the circumstances in which we live. The Mother is with us, and with her, we are in safety. We are under her protection and her intercession. Let us do all that we can to be day after day closer to the heart of Jesus and of Mary. Let us allow her to take us by the hand and lead us to peace that God gives us. Ljubo Kurtovic Medjugorje, December 26, 2004

“Draga djeco! S velikom radošću i danas vam nosim mog Sina Isusa u naručju koji vas blagoslivlja i poziva na mir. Molite dječice i budite hrabri svjedoci radosne vijesti u svakoj situaciji. Samo tako Bog će vas blagosloviti i dati vam sve što od Njega u vjeri tražite. Ja sam s vama sve dok mi Svevišnji dopusti. Zagovaram za svakoga od vas s velikom ljubavlju. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu.” NOSIM VAM MOG SINA ISUSA Marija je radosna jer nam dolazi iz radosti, iz slave, iz domovine na nebesima do koje nama treba još ići. Zato se i ukazuje jer želi da i mi dođemo i budemo tamo gdje je ona. Njezina majčinska želja da dođemo tamo gdje je ona velika je kao i radost koju nosi u srcu. Kao prvog dana ukazanja 24. lipnja 1981. tako i danas u naručju nosi svog sina i našeg Spasitelja Isusa. U rukama i u srcu nosi Boga kojega nam daruje i kojemu nas vodi. Majka Marija želi da i mi danas možemo čuti i poslušati anđelove riječi kao i pastiri: «Ne bojte se! Evo, javljam vam blagovijest, veliku radost za sav narod! Danas vam se u gradu Davidovu rodio Spasitelj – Krist, Gospodin!» (Lk 2, 10 – 11). Rodio se Spasitelj svijeta za tebe i mene, za svakog čovjeka. Rodio se Bog kako bi svakom koji ga primi dao moć postati dijete Božje (usp Iv 1, 12). Isus je jedinstvena osoba ljudske povijesti, ljudskog roda. Samo zato što je on postojao, zato što je on živio nemamo pravo očajavati pa ne znam kakav križ, bolest i patnja nas zadesili u životu. «Uistinu, Bog je tako ljubio svijet te je dao svoga Sina Jedinorođenca da nijedan koji u njega vjeruje ne propadne, nego da ima život vječni» (Iv 3, 16). Bog je dao svog sina Isusa da spasi tebe i mene. Bog je tako ljubio čovjeka da je poželio i sam postati čovjekom i uzeti na sebe njegov život, njegove boli i samu smrt kako bi je razorio. Mi slavimo Božić, Isusov rođendan. Dan je to radosti i blagoslova za ovu zemlju, za cijelo čovječanstvo. Od njegova dolaska više ništa nije isto u ljudskoj povijesti. «Narod koji je u tmini hodio svjetlost vidje veliku; one što mrklu zemlju obitavahu svjetlost jarka obasja» (Iz 9, 1). I mi možemo izići iz svojih tmina, bolesti i straha jer je Bog došao u našu tamu, u naše grijehe i bolesti da sve to u nama razori. Isusovo rođenje nije bilo ni ugodno, ni idilično. Rodio se u štali među životinjama, «jer za njih nije bilo mjesta u svratištu» (Lk 2, 7). Štala je ono područje u nama u kojemu stanuju životinje. To područje bismo najradije skrili od sebe i od ljudi. Stidimo ga se jer ono nije čisto niti miriše ugodno. I danas se želi roditi u štali našeg srca u kojoj neće sve biti mirisno niti uredno. Ali Isus želi doći u naša srca, u našu nutrinu da sve obasja svojim blagoslovom, samim sobom. Tog i takvog Boga Majka Marija nam i danas donosi i daruje. S Isusom se i mi možemo povezati, jer je on u nama. U nama je mogućnost da postanemo po vjeri u njega i sami svemoćni jer je on Svemoćni i Svevišnji. Tada ćemo moći biti hrabri svjedoci Božje prisutnosti i svemoći na ovoj zemlji, u našim situacijama i okolnostima u kojima živimo. Majka je s nama a s njom smo sigurni. Pod njezinom smo zaštitom i zagovorom. Učinimo i mi sa svoje strane sve kako bismo bili iz dana u dan sve bliži Isusovu i Marijinu srcu. Dopustimo joj da nas uzme za ruku i vodi do mira kojega Bog daruje. Fra Ljubo Kurtović
