Reflection on the Message of October 25, 2003 WITH MARY, ON THE WAY OF CONVERSION AND HOLINESS "Dear children! I call you anew to consecrate yourselves to my heart and the heart of my Son Jesus. I desire, little children, to lead you all on the way of conversion and holiness. Only in this way, through you, we can lead all the more souls on the way of salvation. Do not delay, little children, but say with all your heart: “I want to help Jesus and Mary that all the more brothers and sisters may come to know the way of holiness.” In this way, you will feel the contentment of being friends of Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call." Message of October 25, 2003 Today also, in this message, Mary, our Mother, pours out her heart full of love through these simple words. It is almost impossible to express in the words all that Mary, as a Mother, feels towards us who are her children. She wants us to be holy, which means happy, normal and healthy people. Only this is worth to be, only for that to fight with all our strength. The desire and the prayer of Jesus and Mary are addressed to us, here and now, through Our Lady’s message. I would dare to say that Our Lady implores each one of us to begin finally to believe that God wants our good, that He loves us. God does not love only the good ones and the holy ones, but also wicked people. The problem is that all do not respond to this love. Without love, human life on earth is difficult and almost impossible - not only without the love of God, but also without human love, without human warmth, comprehension and goodness. We could not live if we had not received this love from our very birth in so many ways and in so many occasions. Love is the ground, the soil on which we can lean our life. It is the fundamental condition of life for all. Every human being asks: “Does God love me?” If it is true that He loves me, and if I allow this truth to enter into my heart, into my thoughts, into my feelings, if I allow it to overwhelm my whole life, then my life becomes different and more beautiful. Unfortunately, there are so many negative experiences, so many experiences of evil and wickedness, which tell us the opposite and put on trial our faith in the love of God, in the love that was proved to us by Jesus and His own life. Jesus himself experienced infernal wickedness, but He did not refrain from men or from His love for men. God did not spare His own Son Jesus in order to convince us that we are loved. He allowed Himself to be crucified so that we may realize what God is ready to do for us. As for us, we should answer to the truth of this event with trust. If we respond with faith to the love of Jesus, we become eternal and indestructible. St Paul says: “The Son of God loved me, and gave himself for me.” (Ga 2,20) Jesus loved us all with a human heart, not with a plastic heart, but with a heart that feels suffering, pain and joy, that feels all that we feel. There is no human feeling that Jesus did not feel; he felt them all, except sin. In the heart of Mary, the desire to take us on the way of conversion and holiness does not vanish. Since the moment when - through the apostle John - Jesus entrusted each one of us to her, “Woman, behold your son!”, Mary is a Mother who does not give up, who is not afraid of such a heavy and responsible task: to lead us on the way of holiness towards God, towards life, and not just any life, but life in fullness. "Do not delay", Mary warns us, because a waste of time is also a loss of grace. Jesus and Mary need us, they need you and me, so that the others also, all of them, may reach life, may reach God. The one who has made the experience of the love of God cannot remain passive and uninterested in all those who have not yet made this experience. The love of God cannot be kept for oneself; one cannot take pleasure in it alone. It wants to be given to all, so that all may experience it, seek it and desire it with the whole heart. Each Christian is a missionary there where he lives, for people whom he meets and who surround him. Let us not become weary and let us not stop on the way on which calls us Mary, our Mother.

Razmiljanje uz zadnju poruku, 25. listopada 2003 NA PUTU OBRACENJA I SVETOSTI S MARIJOM "Draga djeco! Iznova vas pozivam da se posvetite mom srcu i srcu mog Sina Isusa. elim vas, djecice, sve povesti na put obracenja i svetosti. Samo tako, preko vas, moemo povesti to vie dua na put spasenja. Nemojte odugovlaciti, djecice, nego recite svim srcem: elim pomoci Isusu i Mariji da to vie brace i sestara upoznaju put svetosti. Tako cete osjetiti zadovoljstvo biti Isusovi prijatelji. Hvala vam to ste se odazvali mome pozivu." Poruka, 25. listopada 2003 I danas u ovoj poruci Majka Marija izlijeva svoje srce puno ljubavi u ovim jednostavnim rijecima svoje poruke. Gotovo je nemoguce u rijeci staviti sve ono to Marija kao Majka osjeca prema nama, svojoj djeci. Ona eli da budemo sveti, a to znaci sretni, normalni i zdravi ljudi. Samo se to isplati biti i za to se svim silama u ivotu boriti. Isusova i Marijina elja i molitva je upucena nama, danas i ovdje, preko Gospine poruke. Usudio bih se reci da Gospa moli svakoga od nas kako bi konacno povjerovali da nam Bog eli dobro, da nas Bog ljubi. Bog ne ljubi samo dobre i svete nego i zle ljude. Problem je u tome to svatko ne odgovara na tu ljubav. Bez ljubavi je ivot covjekov na zemlji teak i gotovo nemoguc, ne samo Boje nego i ljudske ljubavi, topline, razumijevanja i dobrote. Ne bi mogli ivjeti da tu ljubav nismo primili vec od rodenja na mnogo nacina i u mnogim ivotnim prigodama. Ljubav je onaj teren, tlo na koji svoj ivot moemo osloniti. Ona je temeljni uvjet ivota za sve ljude. Svaki covjek se pita: Da li me Bog ljubi? Ako je to istina i ako toj istini dopustim da ude u moje srce, misli, osjecaje i preplavi cijeli moj ivot onda ivot postaje drugaciji i ljepi. Naalost puno je negativnih iskustava, iskustava zla i zloce koji nas razuvjeravaju i stavljaju na kunju nau vjeru u Boju ljubav koju je Isus posvjedocio za nas svojim ivotom. I sam Isus je iskusio paklenu zlocu na samome sebi ali nije odustao od covjeka ni od ljubavi prema covjeku. Bog ni svoga sina Isusa nije potedio samo da nas uvjeri da smo ljubljeni. Dao se raspeti na kri kako bi spoznali to je Bog spreman uciniti za nas. S nae strane potrebno je na istinu tog dogadaja odgovoriti povjerenjem. Ako Isusu vjerom odgovorimo na njegovu ljubav postajemo vjecni i neunitivi. Sveti Pavao kae: «Sin Boji me je ljubio i predao samoga sebe za mene» (Gal 2, 20). Isus nas je sve ljubio ljudskim srcem, ne srcem plasticnim, nego srcem koje osjeca patnju, bol i radost, osjeca sve ono to i sami osjecamo. Ne postoji u naem ivotu ono to moemo osjetiti a da Isus nije osjetio, sve osim grijeha. U Marijinom srcu nije se ugasila elja povesti nas na put obracenja i svetosti. Od trenutka kad joj Isus povjerava svakoga od nas preko apostola Ivana: «eno, evo ti sina!» Marija je Majka, koja nije odustala niti se prepala tako teke i odgovorne zadace da nas vodi putem svetosti do Boga, do ivota, i to ne bilo kakvog nego ivota u izobilju. Nemojte odugovlaciti upozorava nas Marija, jer gubitak vremena je i gubitak milosti. Isus i Marija nas trebaju, trebaju i tebe i mene kako bi i drugi, svi doli do ivota, do Boga. Tko doivi Boju ljubav ne moe ostati miran i nezainteresiran za sve one koji to jo nisu doivjeli. Boja ljubav se ne moe zadrati za sebe i u njoj uivati. Ona se eli darovati svima kako bi je svi doivjeli, nju traili i za njom svim srcem ceznuli. Svaki krcanin je misionar tamo gdje ivi, ljudima koje susrece i koji ga okruuju. Ne umorimo se i ne zastanimo na putu kojim nas zove Majka Marija. Fra Ljubo Kurtovic Medugorje 26. 10. 2003
