Once again, this message of Our Lady, as the majority of her messages, begins with a call to prayer. At this moment, she has nothing more important and more necessary to tell us. Mary, our mother, wants us to become filled with joy and gratitude as she is. It is prayer that should lead us to joy and gratitude. Our Lady knows no other path than the one that she is recommending us during all these years with such zeal. If she knew another or a different way, she certainly would not hide it from us. She is a mother that loves each one of her children and she cannot and will not mislead us. As for us, we will not be deceived by her if we listen to her and take refuge in her. This is why Saint Bernard used to pray: “Remember, o most blessed Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession was left unaided.” Many have made the experience, even a tangible experience, of the power and the efficacy of prayer to God. The most powerful is the prayer of thanksgiving, which open the heart of God, beginning by opening the door of our heart, through which God can and wants to approach us. What the Virgin Mary recommends to us, what she puts into our hands and want to put into our heart, is prayer, which may seem to us such a simple and weak means. By pure human logic and intelligence, it is difficult to believe that it can obtain something big. Our Lady’s language here is very simple, it is not wise in the eyes of the world. Saint Paul said already: “For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.” (1 Co 1:20b-21.25) And Jesus exclaims in the Holy Spirit: “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.” (Lk 10:21) Truly, only the little ones recognise God, they recognise the motherly presence here in Medjugorje. We know from the Gospel that Jesus himself could not help those who approached him full of themselves, with mountains of their haughtiness. God himself found no space to approach them and offer them his salvation. Through our prayer, we create ourselves space for God, and without this space, he is unable to enter into our lives. Saint Theresa of Avila used to say: God waits for our decisions, in order to do everything in our lives himself. God is patient; he waits for us all our life. He waits for us with nothing else but his love, to give us himself and to enrich us with himself. He waits for every human heart, he waits for each family to receive him as a dear guest and friend, to open to him the door of their houses as Zaccheus did. Then a new life happened, a full life in his heart, which became grateful, able to forgive and to share. We can do little with our human powers. It is impossible to become holy with human strength, it is impossible to forgive, to love, to share one’s time and one’s heart with others. Very often the real problem in our life is not to be able or not to be able to forgive something to someone, but the real problem is our NO to forgiveness and to the freedom that comes. The problem is also in the fact that maybe we have not allowed God to forgive us and we have not had the experience of his forgiveness. Let us allow to Mary, our Mother, to lead us to her Son Jesus, so that we may become joyful and grateful to God, that we may become people who see and recognise God in their lives and in every person that God has put on our path.

Razmiljanje uz zadnju listopada, 25. rujna 2002 PREKO MOLITVE OTVARATE SVOJE SRCE BOGU "Draga djeco! Pozivam vas i danas na molitvu. Djecice, vjerujte da se jednostavnom molitvom mogu ciniti cudesa. Preko vae molitve otvarate svoje srce Bogu i On cini cudesa u vaem ivotu. Gledajuci plodove vae srce se ispunja radocu i zahvalnocu Bogu za sve to cini u vaem ivotu a preko vas i drugima. Molite i vjerujte djecice, Bog vam daje milosti a vi ih ne vidite. Molite i vidjet cete ih. Nek va dan bude ispunjen molitvom i zahvalom za sve to vam Bog daje. Hvala vam to ste se odazvali mom pozivu." Poruka, 25. listopada 2002. I ova Gospina poruka kao i vecina njezinih poruka pocinje s pozivom na molitvu. U ovom trenutku nam nema to vanije i potrebnije reci. Majka Marija eli da postajemo i postanemo kao Ona ispunjeni radocu i zahvalnocu. Do radosti i zahvalnosti bi nas trebala dovesti molitva. Ona ne poznaje drugog puta osim onoga kojega nam tako arko svih ovih godina preporucuje. Kad bi znala drugi i drugaciji put sigurno ga ne bi sakrivala od nas. Ona je Majka koja ljubi svako svoje dijete te nas ne moe i nece prevariti. U Nju se necemo razocarati ako je posluamo i k njoj se uteknemo. Zato je i sveti Bernard molio: «Spomeni se, milostiva djevice Marijo, kako se nije nikad culo da si ikoga zapustila koji se k tebi u zatitu utekao, tvoju pomoc zatraio i tvoj zagovor zaprosio.» Mnogi su iskusili i opipljivo doivjeli snagu i djelotvornost molitve Bogu. Najsnanija je zahvalna molitva koja otvara Boje srce a najprije vrata naih srca kroz koja nam Bog moe i eli prici. Ono to nam Djevica Marija preporucuje, u ruke daje, i u srce eli staviti jest molitva koja nama moe izgledati tako jednostavno i slabano sredstvo u koje je teko ljudskom logikom i pameti povjerovati da moe neto veliko postici. Samo jednostavni uistinu razumiju Boji govor. I Gospin govor ovdje je vrlo jednostavan, nije mudar u ocima svijeta. Zbog toga ce i Pavao reci: «Zar ne izludi Bog mudrost svijeta? Doista, kad svijet u mudrosti Bojoj Boga ne upozna mudrocu, svidjelo se Bogu ludocu propovijedanja spasiti vjernike. Jer lûdo Boje mudrije je od ljudi i slabo Boje jace je od ljudi» (1 Kor 1, 20b 21. 25). A Isus u Duhu Svetome klice: «Slavim te, Oce, Gospodaru neba i zemlje, to si ovo sakrio od mudrih i umnih, a objavio malenima. Da, Oce! Tako se tebi svidjelo» (Lk 10, 21). Uistinu samo maleni prepoznaju Boga, prepoznaju majcinu prisutnost i ovdje u Medugorju. Znamo i u evandelju da i sam Isus nije mogao pomoci onima koji su mu prilazili puni samih sebe, s brdima vlastite oholosti. Bog sam nije imao prostora u koji bi im mogao doci i svoj spas ponuditi. I mi sami molitvom stvaramo prostor Bogu, a bez tog prostora On u nama biva onemogucen da ude u nae ivote. Sveta Terezija Avilska znala je reci: Bog ceka na nau odluku, kako bi onda u naem ivotu moga sve sam uciniti. Bog je strpljiv, ceka na nas cijeli ivot. Ceka na nas ni s cim osim s ljubavlju da nas samim sobom obdari i obogati. Ceka svako ljudsko srce, ceka svaku obitelj kad ce ga primiti kao dragog gosta i prijatelja, kad ce mu otvoriti vrata svojih kuca kao to je to ucinio Zakej i dogodio se novi ivot, ispunjen ivot u njegovu srcu koje je tek onda postalo zahvalno, sposobno opratati i dijeliti. Malo toga moemo uciniti svojim ljudskim silama. Ljudskom snagom nemoguce je postati svet, nemoguce je pratati, ljubiti, dijeliti svoje vrijeme i svoje srce s drugima. Cesto u naem ivotu nije problem u tome moemo li ili ne moemo oprostiti nekome neto nego je veci problem na Ne pratanju a time i slobodi koja nam dolazi. Problem je i u tome to moda i sami nismo dopustili Bogu i nismo iskusili da nam je On vec oprostio. Dopustimo Majci Mariji da nas povede do svog sina Isusa kako bismo postajali radosni i zahvalni Bogu, ljudi koji vide i prepoznaju Boga u svome ivotu, u svakom covjeku kojeg nam je On stavio na put ivota.
