Reflection on the Message of April 25, 2004 LIVE MY MESSAGES IN HUMILITY AND LOVE "Dear children! Also today, I call you to live my messages even more strongly in humility and love so that the Holy Spirit may fill you with His grace and strength. Only in this way will you be witnesses of peace and forgiveness. Thank you for having responded to my call." Message of April 25, 2004 The Virgin Mary is coming to us for 22 years and 10 months now. With a motherly heart, she is addressing her messages to us. Through her messages, she wants to lead us on the way of conversion and of holiness. Throughout these years, many children of Mary began to believe and encountered the vivifying force of her presence here, among us. The treasure of Heaven that is coming to us can remain undiscovered. This precious pearl can remain hidden and not found. Those who find it are able to give everything: their time, their love and their life. The Gospel is teaching us: “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Mt 6,21) Mary wants that our treasure is in God, in spiritual values, and not in things and corruptible treasures of this world "that moth or rust corrupt”. (Cf.: Mt 6,20) Those who discover this treasure will not remain at the edge of the shore, attached to the banks of this world that is imprisoning us, but will dare to row to the open sea, where Jesus is calling us. In the simplicity of the words of Our Lady is hidden the power of Heaven, the power of the Mother who is able to give a new beginning to our lives. In this message, she is calling us: “Live my messages even more strongly”. Our God is a God of humility and of simplicity. Simple motherly words that she is addressing to us are able to create in us a new mentality, the mentality of the Gospel, of the life of God that wants to blossom in us. It is only in humility and in love that we can know God and recognize the messages of Our Lady as messages of the Gospel, as messages of the Kingdom of God that wants to begin to live in us, and through us in this world. In Jesus, God has humbled himself, he stooped down to us so that we can understand him and listen to him. During the Last Supper, Jesus washes the feet of his disciples. He – who is God - stoops down to his disciples to wash their feet. The washing of the feet is a task of a servant or of a slave. It is possible to wash somebody’s feet only if one bends down or goes on one’s knees in front of somebody. One must be at the feet of somebody. This is precisely what Jesus is doing. He is on his knees in front of his disciples, he is looking at them from down upwards, like a little child that - since it is small – is looking at the adults from down upwards, as if it wanted to ask: Do you accept me? God speaks to man from down upwards, his Word resounds in humility. However, one would expect to hear the Word of God coming from another direction - and this is why God is not heard. One could say that, in this place, Gospa also is speaking to us from down upwards. She is using the words of a child that each one can understand, and she is asking us: Will you accept me, will you listen to me, so that the life according to the Holy Spirit can flower in you, so that you can become the witness of what we need most: peace and forgiveness. Let us listen to the Mother who is speaking to us and we will be happy in this world already. Ljubo Kurtovic Medjugorje, April 26, 2004

Razmiljanje uz zadnju poruku, 25. travnja 2004 ŽIVITE MOJE PORUKE U PONIZNOSTI I LJUBAVI "Draga djeco! I danas vas pozivam da još jace živite moje poruke u poniznosti i ljubavi kako bi vas Duh Sveti ispunio svojom milošcu i snagom. Samo tako bit cete svjedoci mira i praštanja. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu." Poruka, 25. travnja 2004. Djevica Marija dolazi k nama vec 22 godine i 10 mjeseci i majcinskim srcem nam upucuje svoje poruke. Svojim porukama želi nas voditi putem obracenja i svetosti. Mnogo je Marijine djece kroz ove godine povjerovalo i susrelo životvornu snagu njezine prisutnosti ovdje medu nama. Blago neba koje nam dolazi može za nas ostati neotkriveno. Taj dragocjeni biser može ostati zakopan i nepronaden. Oni koji ga otkriju kadri su žrtvovati sve: svoje vrijeme, ljubav i svoj život. Evandelje nas uci: «Doista, gdje ti je blago, ondje ce ti biti i srce» (Mt 6, 21). Marija želi da naše blago bude u Bogu, u duhovnim vrednotama a ne u stvarima i blagu ovoga svijeta koje propada, koje moljac i rda izgrizaju (usp Mt 6, 20). Tko otkrije to blago nece ostati u plicaku, privezan uz obalu ovog svijeta koji zarobljuje nego ce se usuditi zaveslati na pucinu gdje nas Isus zove. U jednostavnosti Gospinih rijeci krije se snaga neba, snaga Majke koja je kadra preporoditi živote naše. Zbog toga nas ovom porukom poziva: «Živite još jace moje poruke». Naš Bog je Bog poniznosti i jednostavnosti. Tako su nam jednostavne majcinske rijeci koje nam upucuje i koje su sposobne u nama stvoriti novi mentalitet, mentalitet evandelja, Božjeg života koji se želi rascvasti u nama. Samo u poniznosti i ljubavi možemo Boga upoznati i Gospine poruke prepoznati kao poruke evandelja, poruke Kraljevstva Božjega koje želi zapoceti živjeti u nama i po nama u ovom svijetu. Bog se u Isusu ponizio i snizio do nas kako bi ga mogli razumjeti i poslušati. Isus na posljednjoj veceri pere noge svojim ucenicima. On Bog saginje se do svojih ucenika da im opere noge. Prati noge nekome je posao sluge ili roba. Oprati noge nekome može se samo tako da se covjek sagne k drugome ili klekne preda nj te mu opere noge. Valja se spustiti do nogu drugoga. Upravo to cini Isus. On kleci pred ucenicima i gleda ih odozdo prema gore, poput maloga djeteta koje, jer je malo, gleda velike odrasle odozdo prema gore kao da ih hoce pitati: Prihvacaš li me? Bog covjeku govori odozdo gore, njegova rijec odjekuje iz poniznosti. A covjek bi Božju rijec ocekivao iz obrnutog smjera – pa zato Boga i ne cuje! I Gospa nam ovdje govori možemo reci odozdo prema gore. Govori djetinjim rijecima koje može svatko razumjeti i pita nas: Hoceš li me prihvatiti, hoceš me poslušati kako bi život po Duhu Svetom procvao u tebi te postao svjedokom onoga što najviše trebamo a to je mir i praštanje. Poslušajmo Majku koja nam govori i bit cemo sretni vec ovdje na zemlji. Fra Ljubo Kurtovic
