Reflection on the Message of June 25, 2003 RENEW MY MESSAGES EVEN MORE, WITH NEW ENTHUSIASM AND JOY "Dear children! Also today, I call you with great joy to live my messages. I am with you and I thank you for putting into life what I am saying to you. I call you to renew my messages even more, with new enthusiasm and joy. May prayer be your daily practice. Thank you for having responded to my call." Message of June 25, 2003 The Gospel is the Joyful News. Joy resounds in all its pages, because God has decided to visit and save his people. At the Visitation to Elizabeth, Mary cried out: “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour!” (Lk 1,46) At the Annunciation, the angel Gabriel greets Mary with the words: “Hail (rejoice), full of grace… Do not be afraid, Mary: for you have found favour with God.” Today, Mary, Queen of Peace, speaks to us with great joy, and she wants us also to be joyful. To live her messages means to be led to true joy. To follow the voice of the Mother means to find a home and safety. To obey to her voice means to become more joyful, liberated and redeemed; friends of God, to whom Mary guides us. Her messages are like signposts on the road, so that we do not get lost. We need these signals to find an unknown place. However, if we remain still, we will never arrive. We have to start walking and to keep on walking. The way will perhaps not always be paved or straight, but it is important to walk. On the way, we will stumble, fall, bleed... but it is the goal that counts, God, the source of life, for whom our heart languishes. Mary knows the way better than us; she knows Jesus better than we know him. The purpose of her messages is to make us join with and meet Jesus. Mary wants us to be joyful. Our joy is also her joy, just as our sufferings are also her sufferings. Mary thanks us, whereas it is us who should thank her for her presence, her proximity, her patience. She loves us with a disinterested love, as if she was asking us: “May I love you? Will you allow me to lead you to life, to joy?” Mary knows well the human heart. She knows that it glows easily, and that its enthusiasm disappears even more easily. This is why she told us: ‘Renew the enthusiasm of the first days of my coming’, and today, she tells us: “Renew my messages even more, with new enthusiasm and joy”. The first days and the first years of her coming were full of enthusiasm, of joy, of readiness to suffer and to give all for Our Lady and for God. However, narrow and selfish human interests enter easily into this small corner of Heaven that Mary offers to us here; interests that darken the eyes of our hearts, which, then, cannot recognize any more the Heaven that came to us, and that continues to come here, to Medjugorje, through Mary. What occurs here is a gift from Heaven, a visitation of grace, which can remain fruitless for us if we do not receive it with a humble and open heart. We receive Mary in so far as we love our neighbours, in so far as the strength to support daily crosses grows in us. We receive Mary in so far as we are able to forgive more easily, to raise ourselves above the earthly dirt towards which our weakness attracts us, towards which this world draws us, offering much, but finally taking away everything. Mary does not threaten us when she says: “A time will come when I will no longer be with you in this way”. The nearness of her heart, and of her soul means time of grace. This is why Mary, Queen of Peace, today, on this 22nd anniversary of her apparitions, attracted so many hearts and such crowds, who are hungry and thirsty for God. Mary knows to whom she is coming, but all the pilgrims, who came today and who came on pilgrimage to Medjugorje during all these years, also know to whom they are coming to. In Mary, they recognized their Mother, the Mother of the Saviour (like Elisabeth did), and they were not mistaken. Today, Mary wants to awaken all the hearts that are asleep. She can do it and she wants to do it. She is doing it today. Let us help her, so that she can help us. Let us approach her by our daily prayer; because without prayer we cannot be close to her Heart and to the Heart of her Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Let us allow her to lead us to joy and peace - to Jesus. Let us allow her that. Ljubo Kurtovic Medjugorje 26.6.2003

Razmiljanje uz zadnju listopada, 25. lipnja 2003 S NOVIM ODUEVLJENJEM I RADOCU OBNOVITE MOJE PORUKE "Draga djeco! I danas, s velikom radocu, vas pozivam ivjeti moje poruke. S vama sam i zahvaljujem vam to ste stavili u ivot ono to vam govorim. Pozivam vas da obnovite s novim oduevljenjem i radocu jo vie moje poruke. Nek molitva bude vaa svakodnevica. Hvala vam to ste se odazvali mome pozivu." Poruka, 25. lipnja 2003. Evandelje je Radosna vijest. Radost odjekuje svim stranicama Evandelja, zbog toga jer je Bog odlucio pohoditi i spasiti narod svoj. Marija u susretu s Elizabetom klice: «Velica dua moja Gospodina, klikce duh moj u Bogu, mome Spasitelju» (Lk 1, 46). Andeo Gabrijel kod navijetenja Isusova rodenja obraca se Mariji pozdravom: «Raduj se, milosti puna Ne boj se, Marijo, jer si dobila milost kod Boga» (Lk 1, 28. 30). I danas nam se Marija Kraljica Mira obraca s velikom radocu i eli da mi budemo radosni. ivjeti njezine poruke vodi pravoj radosti. Slijediti Majcin glas znaci pronaci dom i sigurnost. Posluati njezin glas znaci postajati iz dana u dan radosniji, sretniji, oslobodeni i otkupljeni ljudi koji druguju s Bogom kojemu nas Marija vodi. Njezine poruke su poput prometnih znakova na putu da se ne izgubimo. Potrebni su nam smjerokazi kako bi pronali neko nepoznato mjesto. Necemo doci u eljeno mjesto ako ostanemo sjediti kod smjerokaza. Potrebno se zaputiti, hodati. Taj put moda nece uvijek biti asfaltiran, ni ravan. Vano je ici. Na tom putu cemo i padati, i krvariti i posrtati. Vaan je cilj, vaan je izvor ivota Bog za kojim nae srce cezne. Marija poznaje put bolje nego mi, kao to poznaje Isusa bolje nego mi. Upravo nam tome slue njezine poruke da dodemo i susretnemo Isusa. Mariji je stalo do toga da budemo radosni. Naa radost je i njezina radost, kao to su nae patnje i njezine patnje. Ona nama zahvaljuje a mi bi njoj trebali zahvaliti za prisutnost, blizinu i strpljivost. Ljubi nas bez ikakvog interesa. Kao da nas pita: «Mogu li vas ljubiti»? «Hocete mi dopustiti da vas povedem do ivota, do radosti? Ona sama dobro poznaje ljudsko srce. Zna da se covjek lako oduevi i da to oduevljenje jo lake nestane. Zato nam je govorila: obnovite ar prvih dana mojih dolazaka, a danas nam govori: obnovite s novim oduevljenjem i radocu jo vie moje poruke. Prvi dani i godine njezinih dolazaka bili su dani i godine oduevljenja, radosti i spremnosti trpjeti i sve dati za Gospu i Boga. U ovaj komadic neba, kojega nam Marija ovdje daruje, lako se umijeaju uski i sebicni ljudski interesi koji zamrace oci srca koje vie ne prepoznaju ovaj dio neba koji nam je doao i jo dolazi po Mariji ovdje u Medugorju. Ovo to se dogada ovdje jest dar neba, pohod milosti koji moe biti uzaludan za mene ako ga ne primim ponizna i otvorena srca. Prihvacam ovdje Mariju u onoj mjeri u kojoj ljubim svoje blinje, ukoliko u meni raste snaga za podnoenje svakodnevnih ivotnih krieva. Prihvacam Mariju ukoliko mogu lake pratati, izdici se iznad zemaljskog blata u koje me vuce vlastita slabost i ovaj svijet koji mnogo nudi ali sve na kraju oduzima. Marija nam ne eli prijetiti kad nam kae: «Doci ce vrijeme kad ne budem vie s vama na ovakav nacin». Ova blizina njezinoga srca i due su milosni dani i vrijeme. Zato je Marija Kraljica Mira i danas na 22u obljetnicu njezinih ukazanja privukla srca tolikog mnotva ljudi koji su gladni i edni Boga. Marija zna kome dolazi, ali isto tako znaju kome dolaze svi oni koji su danas hodocastili i koji kroz sve ove godine hodocaste u Medugorje. Prepoznali su u Mariji svoju Majku, Majku Spasitelja poput svete Elizabete, i nisu se prevarili. Marija i danas eli probuditi svako zaspalo srce. Ona to moe i eli. Ona to cini i danas. Pomozimo joj da nam ona mogne pomoci. Pribliimo se njoj svakodnevnom molitvom, jer bez molitve ne moemo biti blizu njezina srca i srcu njezina Sina i naeg Spasitelja Isusa Krista. Neka nas ona povede do radosti i mira, do Isusa, dopustimo joj to. Fra Ljubo Kurtovic Medugorje 26.
