Reflection on the Message of January 25, 2007 PUT SACRED SCRIPTURE IN A VISIBLE PLACE "Dear children! Put Sacred Scripture in a visible place in your family and read it. In this way, you will come to know prayer with the heart and your thoughts will be on God. Do not forget that you are passing like a flower in a field, which is visible from afar but disappears in a moment. Little children, leave a sign of goodness and love wherever you pass and God will bless you with an abundance of His blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call." Message of January 25, 2007 The Virgin Mary loves and keeps on calling her children to a life with God. She does that once again in her message beginning with the following words: "Put Sacred Scripture in a visible place in your families and read it." We have already become familiar with these motherly words and calls from her previous messages in which she invited us to read Sacred Scripture. Just as she spoke in January last year: "Do not forget, little children, to read Sacred Scripture. Put it in a visible place and witness with your life that you believe and live the Word of God. " In her message of 25th June 1991 Mary said to us: "Little children, pray and read Sacred Scripture so that through my coming you discover the message in Sacred Scripture for you ." In her message of 25th August 1993 she spoke: "Dear children, read Sacred Scripture, live it, and pray to understand the signs of the times.“ In her message of 25th August 1986: "Put, little children, Sacred Scripture in a visible place in your families and read it and live it.“ On 25th January 1999 she spoke to us: "Put Sacred Scripture in a visible place in your families, read it, reflect on it and learn how God loves His people. His love shows itself also in present times because He sends me to call you upon the path of salvation." In September of 1999 she said: "I call you to renew prayer in your families by reading Sacred Scripture and to experience joy in meeting with God who infinitely loves His creatures." So many times in her motherly messages the Virgin Mary has confirmed to us and said the following: "Dear children, live my messages and put into life every word that I am giving you. May they be precious to you as they come from heaven. Dear children, joyfully live the messages of the Gospel that I am repeating in the time I am with you.“ Maybe somewhere deep inside of us we expect the Virgin Mary to explain her messages in more detail and make them more clear. However, Our Lady's messages do not provide us with ready-made recipes for happiness. She has come to direct our look at Christ who is our only Saviour and the aim of life. She helps us with her presence, calls and love so that we can walk on the path of conversion and salvation. She does not come to tell us tales, play with us or entertain us. She has come to call us to the truth, to the light and high demands of the Word of God. She invites us to read and live Sacred Scripture so that we may discover the life-giving power of the Word of God that speaks to us. As the Holy Spirit has inspired Sacred Scripture, Sacred Scripture is permeated with it. We discover that by reading Sacred Scripture which encourages us to do good enlightening our mind and the feelings in our hearts. St. Gregory the Great asked himself: "What can a word of Sacred Scripture be compared with?" And he answered: "It is like flint and steel, like flint which is cold when we hold it in our hand, but when used to strike iron, it sparks and lights a fire. The words of Sacred Scripture remain cold if taken for granted. When, however, a person embraced by the Holy Spirit gives them a gentle knock, they make a mystical fire." Only if we rely on the truth of the Word of God shall we disclose the transience of our lives and the certainty of Jesus' words: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." (Matt. Let us listen to the Virgin Mary for the sake of our lives and our good. Ljubo Kurtovic Medugorje 26 January 2007

Razmiljanje uz zadnju Poruka, 25. sijecnja 2007 STAVITE SVETO PISMO NA VIDLJIVO MJESTO "Draga djeco! Stavite Sveto pismo na vidljivo mjesto u vaoj obitelji i citajte ga. Tako cete spoznati molitvu srcem i vae misli bit ce u Bogu. Ne zaboravite da ste prolazni kao cvijet u polju, koji se vidi iz daleka, ali u trenutku nestane. Djecice, ostavite znak dobrote i ljubavi gdje god prolazite, i Bog ce vas blagosloviti obiljem svoga blagoslova. Hvala vam to ste se odazvali mome pozivu." Poruka, 25. sijecnja 2007 Djevica Marija ljubi i ne prestaje pozati svoju djecu na ivot s Bogom. To cini i ovom svojom porukom koju pocinje rijecima: Stavite Sveto pismo na vidljivo mjesto u vaoj obitelji i citajte ga. Ove majcinske rijeci i pozivi su nam poznati iz prethodnih njezinih poruka u kojima nas je pozivala na citanje Svetoga pisma. Tako isto u sijecnju prole godine Marija govori: Ne zaboravite, djecice, citati Sveto pismo. Stavite ga na vidljivo mjesto i svjedocite svojim ivotom da vjerujete i ivite Rijec Boju. U poruci od 25. lipnja 1991. Marija nam govori: Djecice, molite i citajte Sveto pismo da biste preko Svetog pisma otkrili poruku za vas preko mojih dolazaka. U poruci od 25. kolovoza 1993.: Draga djeco, citajte Sveto pismo, ivite ga i molite da biste shvatili znakove ovoga vremena. U poruci od 25. kolovoza 1986: Stavite, djecice, Sveto pismo na vidljivo mjesto u svojoj obitelji i citajte ga i ivite. Godine 1999., 25. sijecnja govori nam: Stavite Sveto pismo na vidljivo mjesto u svojoj obitelji, citajte ga, razmiljajte i ucite kako Bog ljubi svoj narod. Njegova se ljubav pokazuje i u dananje vrijeme, jer vam alje mene, da vas pozovem na put spasenja. U mjesecu rujnu 1999. godine kae nam: Pozivam vas, da citajuci sv. Pismo obnovite molitvu u svojim obiteljima i doivljavate radost u susretu s Bogom, koji beskrajno ljubi svoja stvorenja. Toliko puta u svojim majcinskim porukama Djevica Marija nam je potvrdila i rekla: Draga djeco, ivite moje poruke i stavite u ivot svaku rijec koju vam dajem. Nek vam budu dragocjene jer dolaze iz neba. Draga djeco, ivite radosno poruke evandelja, koje ponavljam u vrijeme otkad sam s vama. Moda negdje u svojoj nutrini ocekujemo da nam Djevica Marija jo vie objasni, protumaci i ucini jasnijim svoje poruke. Medutim, Gospine poruke nam ne daju gotove recepte za srecu. Ona je dola upraviti na pogled prema Kristu koji je jedini na Spasitelj i cilj ivota. Kako bismo mogli koracati na putu obracenja i spasenja Ona nam pomae svojom prisutnocu, pozivima i ljubavlju. Ona nam ne dolazi pricati pricice, igrati se s nama i zabavljati nas. Dola je pozvati nas istini, svjetlu i zahtjevnosti Boje rijeci. Poziva nas da citamo i ivimo Sveto pismo kako bi otkrili ivotvornu snagu Boje rijeci koja nam govori. Duh Sveti je nadahnuo Sveto pismo, i zato Sveto pismo odie Duhom Svetim. To otkrivamo citajuci Sveto pismo koje potice i pokrece nau volju na dobro, prosvjetljuje nau pamet i osjecaje naega srca. Sveti Grgur veliki se pitao: Cime se moe usporediti rijec Svetog pisma? I odgovorio je: Ona slici na kresivo, na kremen koji je hladan kad ga drimo u ruci, ali kad o nj udarimo eljezom, iz sebe izbacuje iskre i zapali oganj. Rijeci Pisma ostaju hladne ako ih se uzima doslovce, ali kada netko na njih paljivo kuca zahvacen Duhom Svetim, iz sebe putaju misticni oganj. Samo ako smo oslonjeni na istinu Boje rijeci otkrit cemo prolaznost svoga ivota i sigurnost Isusove rijeci: Nebo ce i zemlja proci, ali rijeci moje nece proci (Mt 24, 35). Posluajmo Djevicu Mariju za na ivot i nae dobro. Fra Ljubo Kurtovic
