Reflection on the Message of November 25, 2004 PRAY FOR MY INTENTIONS "Dear children! At this time, I call you all to pray for my intentions. Especially, little children, pray for those who have not yet come to know the love of God and do not seek God the Savior. You, little children, be my extended hands and by your example draw them closer to my Heart and the Heart of my Son. God will reward you with graces and every blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call." Message of November 25, 2004 Mary, Mother of the Church and our mother, is walking with us. She is awakening us and she is calling us. In this time of Advent, which is approaching, she is inviting us to pray for her intentions. The Mother knows better than us, because she has already made the way, which we must still cross. She has lived on this earth and she entered into the glory of the heavenly fatherland, which is our goal, the goal that she also desires for us. We will not make a mistake if we put our prayers, our desires and our intentions into her heart and into her hands, because she knows better than us what we need, what is necessary for our families and for the world in which we live. “God created us without us, but he will not save us without us”, said Saint Augustine. We have the responsibility for our lives and the lives of others. God desires that we are co-creators of a new and a better world. This is why Mary calls us to pray and to feel the responsibility for all those who did not yet know the love of God, and who do not seek God, the Savior. Human freedom is wounded, but the desire remains in the heart, the desire of God, that nobody and nothing can fill, except God alone. Mary calls us to prayer, and prayer is to come in touch with the desire that is in us, the desire of God. If the human heart is not filled with the desire and the love of God, it will seek elsewhere, and it will fill its vacuum by other things, by idols. We see that human beings are capable of uplifting themselves towards an ideal and of falling down towards an idol. We are created in the image and likeness of God, and this is why God is our unique ideal. All the rest are idols. God alone can fill the soul with the light of meaning, and give the strength for life in hi footsteps. Through Mary, God is bending towards us, eager to attract us to himself, not by force but by love. However, love, so to speak, cannot remain quiet as long as it does not see the happiness of the beloved creature. Love is the power, which attracted Mary to us, her children. Love is giving her strength during all these years. Love is the source on which she is drawing strength, and obtaining the victory in so many hearts. We can help her, and this is what Mary desires. To be able to help Mary, we must approach her and her heart. We should obtain in ourselves the transformation, which we want to obtain and see in others. There is no other means or another way. We know, that it is impossible to change the others by our councils, our admonitions, our words of wisdom or our criticism. We can change them only by love, by transformation and conversion that they will see in us. Our Lady almost implores us to be her hands. She does not have other hands but ours. She wants that our hands, our feet, our words and our hearts belong to her and to her son Jesus. Love tends towards resemblance. Day after day, we will become what is in front of us, what we have taken as the ideal of our life. In this way, our thoughts, our feelings, our words and our hearts will become similar to the thoughts, the feelings, the words and the heart of Mary and of Jesus. Then only will we be able to bring the others closer to the heart of Mary and of Jesus, or rather, through us, they will be able to attract them to their hearts. Let us pray with blessed Mother Teresa: "Do you want my hands, my God, to assist all the day those who need assistance? My God, I give you my hands. Do you want my feet to go all the day, each day, towards those who need a friend? Today, my God, I give you my feet. Do you want my voice, my God, so that it speaks all the day to those who need your words of love? My God, I give you my voice today. Do you want my heart, my God, from dawn to the evening, to love without exception? My God, I give you my heart today." Ljubo Kurtovic

Razmiljanje uz zadnju Poruka, 25. studenog 2004 MOLITE NA MOJE NAKANE "Draga djeco! U ovom vremenu sve vas pozivam da molite na moje nakane. Posebno, djecice, molite za one koji jo nisu upoznali ljubav Boju i ne trae Boga Spasitelja. Budite vi djecice moje ispruene ruke i vaim primjerom pribliite ih mom Srcu i Srcu mog Sina. Bog ce vas nagraditi milostima i svakim blagoslovom. Hvala vam to ste se odazvali mome pozivu." Poruka, 25. studenog 2004 Marija kao majka Crkve i naa majka hoda s nama, budi nas i poziva. U ovom vremenu doaca koje je pred nama poziva nas da molimo na njezine nakane. Majka zna bolje od nas jer je prola put kojim nama treba jo ici. ivjela je na ovoj zemlji i dola je u slavu u domovinu na nebesima kamo je na cilj, i kamo ona eli da i mi dodemo. Necemo pogrijeiti ako svoje molitve, elje, nakane stavimo u njezino srce i u njezine ruke jer bolje od nas zna to je potrebno nama, naim obiteljima i svijetu u kojem ivimo. «Bog nas je stvorio bez nas ali nas bez nas nece spasiti.» - rece sveti Augustin. Odgovorni smo za svoje ivote ali i za ivote naih blinjih. Bog eli da budemo sustvaratelji novog i boljeg svijeta. Zbog toga nas i Marija poziva da molimo i osjecamo odgovornost za sve koji jo nisu upoznali Boju ljubav i koji ne trae Boga Spasitelja. Ljudska sloboda je izranjena, ali ostaje cenja u ljudskom srcu, cenja za Bogom koju nitko i nita ne moe ispuniti doli Bog jedini. Marija nas poziva na molitvu, a molitva je u tome da dodemo u dodir s cenjom u nama, cenjom za Bogom. Ako covjek svoje srce ne ispuni cenjom i ljubavlju prema Bogu on ce traiti ispuniti svoje praznine drugim stvarima, idolima. Svjedoci smo kako se covjek na svom ivotnom putu moe uspinjati k idealu i moe padati k idolu. Stvoreni smo na sliku i priliku Boju i zato je Bog na jedini ideal. Sve ostalo su idoli. Samo Bog moe ispuniti duu svjetlom smisla i dati snagu za ivot na Njegovom putu. Bog se po Mariji naginje nad nas eleci nas privuci k sebi ne prisilom nego ljubavlju. A ljubav, da tako kaemo, ne moe biti mirna dok ne vidi sretnim ljubljeno stvorenje. Ljubav je ta sila koja je Mariju privukla nama, njezinoj djeci. Ljubav joj daje snagu kroz tolike godine. Ljubav je izvor iz kojeg crpi snagu i ostvaruje pobjede u mnogim srcima. U tome joj i mi moemo pomoci, to i Marija eli. Da bismo mogli pomoci Mariji moramo se i sami pribliiti njoj, njezinom srcu. Mi sami moramo postati promjenom koju elimo vidjeti i izmoliti kod drugih. Nema drugog nacina ni puta. Znamo da je nemoguce mijenjati druge svojim savjetima, opomenama, mudrim rijecima i kritikama. Druge moemo mijenjati samo ljubavlju, samo promjenom i obracenjem koje ce vidjeti na nama. Gospa nas moli, rekao bih, da budemo njezine ruke. Ona nema drugih ruku nego nae. eli da nae ruke, noge, rijeci i srce postanu njezino i njezinog Sina Isusa. Ljubav tei slicnosti. Mi cemo iz dana u dan postajati ono to stoji pred nama, ono to smo stavili kao ideal svog ivota. Tako ce nae misli, osjecaji, rijeci i srce postajati slicni Marijinim i Isusovim mislima, osjecajima, rijecima i srcu. Tek tada cemo moci druge pribliiti Marijinu i Isusovu srcu, odnosno oni preko nas svome srcu. Molimo i mi s blaenom majkom Terezijom: «eli li moje ruke, Boe, da bi cijeli dan pomagale onima to trebaju pomoc. Boe, dajem ti svoje ruke. eli li moje noge, da bi citav dan, svaki dan, odlazile k onima kojima je potreban prijatelj. Boe, danas ti dajem svoje noge. eli li moj glas, Boe, da bi citav dan govorio onima to su im potrebne tvoje rijeci ljubavi. Boe, danas ti dajem svoj glas. eli li moje srce, Boe, od zore do mraka, da bi voljelo sve bez iznimke. Boe, danas ti dajem svoje srce. Fra Ljubo Kurtovic Medugorje 26. 11. 2004
