Gospa, Queen of Peace and Mother of all men, is perseverant as all the mothers who want that their children walk on the right path into life. Mary, our Mother, does not want to remove from us the weight of the responsibility, of a personal and free choice of God, as she was never deprived from the free decision when she said to the angel: “Let it be done to me according to your word”. Mary, just like Jesus, treats us with much patience. While addressing herself to us, she never offends our freedom. In the Gospel, Jesus speaks in the form of parables, so that each one may freely and without any pressure decide for the Kingdom of God. Our Lady could appear without problem to all, but she wants to leave intact our freedom and our choice of God, who comes so close to us here through her. Today - as much as in the Gospels - we can despise this grace, leave it unused. God gives Himself to us completely freely and so simply. The messages of Our Lady, given during these 22 years of grace, speak precisely in favor of this simplicity. Mary calls us also today, putting between our hands the same means: prayer. The means is always the same, but God is never the same. He never repeats himself. With Him, one is never bored. Only when we follow Him, we discover how little we know Him, how little we know ourselves. Prayer always leads to joy, more precisely to God who is the source of joy. “Only in this way each of you will discover peace”, tells us Mary. There is no other way or other means to approach God. This is precisely the means, which appears most difficult today, and which one escapes mostly, finding thousand reasons and excuses. In front of oneself and of God, we can always recognize to oneself and to God how little we pray. We pray much less then our soul needs. As for our body, we can easily feel when it needs food. Our soul is hidden within us, and it is thus easier for us to neglect it. It arrives thus that it cries and shouts, and we forget and neglect it. Our body needs hygiene and bathing, and it is the same way with our soul. Only the One Who created it and Who knows it best can bathe it. We do not know ourselves enough, the others know us even less; God alone is the One who knows and who scrutinizes the secrets of our hearts. If we neglect ourselves, we discover consequences: nervousness, dissatisfaction, restlessness, tension, incapacity to forgive and to live in joy. We ask then ourselves from where all can that may come? The reason is in the malnutrition and the negligence of our soul. Our Lady does not talk about possible negative consequences, but her words show us the way to God, all the positive, good and holy for which human heart yearns. “You will feel the need to witness to others the love that you feel in your heart”, tells us Mary. The meaning of our seeking of God and of our coming closer to God is not to remain next to Him, which would be a spiritual selfishness. The meaning and the goal of our life is to carry God to others, to testify that He is a living God, and not a remote and hidden god. This is what Mary, our Mother, does during all these years. This is what she did after the encounter with the angel Gabriel: she carried Jesus to her cousin Elisabeth and was thus the first missionary of the love of God and of His Kingdom. We are neither alone nor abandoned, ensures us Mary, our Mother. She is our intercessor and our advocate. No one who sought her intercession was ever forsaken. Let us entrust ourselves to her, let us entrust to her our families, in order to remain on the path of life. Medjugorje, July 26, 2003

Razmiljanje uz zadnju listopada, 25. srpnja 2003 SAMO TAKO SVAKI OD VAS OTKRIT CE MIR "Draga djeco! I danas vas pozivam na molitvu. Djecice, molite sve dok vam molitva ne postane radost. Samo tako svaki od vas otkrit ce mir u srcu i vaa dua biti ce zadovoljna. Osjecat cete potrebu svjedociti drugima ljubav koju osjecate u vaem srcu i ivotu. Ja sam s vama i zagovaram pred Bogom za sve vas. Hvala vam to ste se odazvali mome pozivu." Poruka, 25. srpnja 2003 Gospa, Kraljica Mira i Majka svakog covjeka uporna je kao i svaka majka koja eli da njezino dijete ide pravim putem u ivot. Majka Marija nas ne eli osloboditi tereta odgovornosti, osobne i slobodne odluke za Boga, kao to ni ona sama nije bila oslobodena slobodne odluke i svoga «Neka mi bude po rijeci tvojoj» koji je izrekla andelu Gabrijelu. Marija kao i Isus postupa s velikom strpljivocu prema nama. Govori nam tako da ne eli povrijediti nau slobodu. Isus u evandelju svojim sluateljima govori pod koprenom usporedbi kako bi covjek toliko vidio koliko mu je dovoljno da se slobodno, a ne prisilno odluci za Kraljevstvo Boje. I Gospa bi se mogla ukazati svima, to joj ne bi bio problem, ali eli ostaviti netaknutom nau slobodu i odluku za Boga koji se ovdje pribliio k nama po njoj. Kao u evandelju tako i danas moemo tu milost prezreti i ostaviti neiskoritenom. Bog nam se daruje potpuno besplatno i tako jednostavno. Upravo o toj jednostavnosti svjedoce Gospine poruke kroz ovih 22 godine milosti. Marija nas i danas poziva nudeci nam isto sredstvo u ruke: molitvu. Radi se o istom sredstvu ali Bog nikada nije isti. On se nikada ne ponavlja. S Njim nikada nije dosadno. Tek kad podemo za njim otkrijemo koliko ga malo poznajemo, odnosno koliko sebe malo poznajemo. Molitva uvijek vodi do radosti, tj. do Boga koji je izvor radosti. «Samo tako svaki od vas otkrit ce mir» - kae nam Marija. Ne postoji drugi put ni drugo sredstvo kojim bismo se mogli pribliiti Bogu. Upravo je to sredstvo koje je covjeku danas najtee i od kojega najvie bjei i sakriva se pronalazeci tisucu razloga i isprika. Ako stanemo pred sebe i Boga uvijek moemo priznati sebi i Bogu koliko malo molimo. Molimo puno manje nego to naoj dui treba. Vrlo lako osjetimo kad nae tijelo ima potrebu za hranom. Dua je u nama sakrivena pa je lake zanemarimo. Tako se dogodi da ona place i vice a mi je zaboravimo i zapustimo. Nae tijelo ima potrebu za higijenom, kupanjem a tako je i s duom. Moe je okupati samo onaj tko ju je stvorio i tko je najbolje poznaje. Ni sami sebe ne poznajemo dovoljno, jo manje drugi, a samo je Bog onaj koji poznaje i pronice tajne naih srdaca. Ako se zapustimo i zanemarimo otkrivamo posljedice: nervoza, nezadovoljstvo, nemir, napetost, nemoc pratanja i radosnog ivljenja. Covjek se onda pita odakle sve to u mome ivotu. A razlog je u neishranjenosti i zaputenosti nae due. Gospa nam ne govori o posljedicama i negativnostima nego nas njezine rijeci upucuju na Boji put, na sve ono pozitivno, dobro i sveto za cim ljudsko srce cezne. «Osjecat cete potrebu svjedociti drugima ljubav koju osjecate u vaem srcu» - govori nam Marija. Smisao naega traenja i pribliavanja Bogu nije ostati kod njega, bila bi to duhovna sebicnost. Smisao i svrha naega ivota je donijeti Boga drugima, svjedociti da je on ivi Bog a ne daleki i skriveni. To cini i Majka Marija kroz sve ove godine. Ona je to ucinila nakon susreta s andelom Gabrijelom, odnijela je Isusa svojoj rodakinji Elizabeti i tako bila prvi misionar Boje ljubavi i njegova Kraljevstva. Nismo sami ni ostavljeni obecava nam Majka Marija. Ona je naa zagovornica i odvjetnica. Nitko nije ostao neuslian tko se njoj utekao. Njoj povjerimo sebe i svoje obitelji kako bismo ostali na putu ivota. Fra Ljubo Kurtovic Medugorje 26.
