Reflection on the Message of March 25, 2002 UNITE WITH JESUS "Dear children! Today I call you to unite with Jesus in prayer. Open your heart to Him and give Him everything that is in it: joys, sorrows and illnesses. May this be a time of grace for you. Pray, little children, and may every moment belong to Jesus. I am with you and I intercede for you. Thank you for having responded to my call." Message of March 25, 2002 The Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace, calls us to unite with Jesus, and a means that She puts into our hands is prayer. Long ago, we learned in the catechism that prayer was a dialogue with God. To dialogue, you need someone, another person. You may converse with someone without grasping life itself, but remaining simply at its surface. There are conversations, which bring about movement, lift up and heal. Prayer is such a conversation, held not with just anyone, but with the God almighty. Man has the capacity to converse with God, with Jesus, because he has the spirit, as God is spirit. As God became man in Jesus, we can talk to Him humanly, because we have the Holy Spirit, because we are baptised and confirmed, because we have received these capacities, these gifts which enable us to be as close to Jesus as possible. If we ask ourselves where is Jesus, I would say: Where is He not? Wherever you look, you can meet Him. His look and His eyes watch every person with love. It is important to be conscious of this fact, in order to be able even to start our walk towards Him. He is with us always, but we have to make an effort to be with Him. Our Mother calls us: Open your heart to Him and give Him everything that is in it. To share bread, property, money, even time with someone, is much easier then to receive someone under one´s roof, to introduce someone into one´s own house, to open one´s heart to someone. To allow someone to enter into the most hidden parts of one´s soul is much more difficult. Most difficult is to share the deepest depths of one´s joy, one´s sufferings, wounds and crosses of one´s life. It is possible with those who are closest to us, if it is possible at all to really do it with human beings. We are an enigma and a mystery for ourselves, we do not know ourselves until the end and completely, and other people know us even less than that. Only the One from whose hand we have come knows us and can heal us, make us well and fill the void of our soul and heart. It is much easier to enumerate prayers then to open one´s heart. This is why it is not prayer that will help us, because prayer does not help and does not bring rest, but God in prayer. However, He cannot come into a prayer done without heart, as you cannot enter into a house whose door is locked. The greatest suffering of man is the mistrust towards God, which provokes fear, anguish and worries about one´s own life, about the future. If I am afraid that someone will steal my property or kill me, I will try to defend myself, to protect myself, I will close and lock the door. I feel the opposite if I trust. It is the same in our relationship to God: If I trust Him, if I believe that my life with Jesus will be happy and fulfilled, if I take His words as divine and not human, if I believe that His word is truth, that He has the words of the eternal life I will open to Him the door of my house, of my home and of my heart. This is a time of grace, tells us Mary, our Mother. She motivates us not to allow our hours and days to pass without Jesus. With Jesus everything can be realised. The fundamental problem of man is that he is far away from God, that he works without Him, without contact with Him. It can often happen that we forget Him, push Him aside, or call Him maybe as an ambulance when life´s distress oppresses us. Maybe we pray five minutes or half an hour, and then we push Him aside instead of permanently being nourished with Him. Hence, God is not a fireman; He would like to become our companion on the road, our friend and saviour, yours and mine. Let us take seriously the words conceived in the heart of our Mother, so that our days do not pass without meaning and without goal. Let us allow Jesus to rise in us also this Easter. Peace and good to you. Ljubo Kurtovic, OFM

Razmiljanje uz zadnju poruku, 25. oujka 2002 SJEDINITE SE S ISUSOM Draga djeco! Danas vas pozivam da se sjedinite s Isusom u molitvi. Otvorite mu svoje srce i darujte mu sve to je u njemu: radosti, tuge i bolesti. Nek vam ovo bude vrijeme milosti. Molite, djecice, i neka svaki trenutak bude Isusov. S vama sam i zagovaram za vas. Hvala vam to ste se odazvali mom pozivu. Poruka, 25. oujka 2002 Blaena Djevica Marija, Kraljica Mira nas poziva na sjedinjenje s Isusom, a sredstvo koje nam daje u ruke jest molitva. Jo smo davno ucili na vjeronauku kako je molitva razgovor s Bogom. Da bi mogao razgovarati potreban ti je drugi covjek, druga osoba. S nekim moe razgovarati a da taj razgovor ne zahvaca ivot, nego ostaje na povrini ivota. Ima razgovora koji pokrecu, pridiu i ozdravljaju. Molitva je takav razgovor, i to ne bilo s kim nego s Bogom svemocnim. Covjek ima sposobnost razgovarati s Bogom, Isusom jer ima duha kao to je Bog duh. Jer je Bog postao covjekom u Isusu zato s njim moemo ljudski razgovarati, jer imamo Duha Svetoga, jer smo krteni i krizmani, jer smo primili te sposobnosti, darove po kojima moemo biti to blie Isusu. Ako se pitamo gdje je Isus? Rekao bih: a gdje On nije? Gdje se god zagleda moe ga susresti. Njegov pogled i njegove oci s ljubavlju promatraju svakog covjeka. Vano je biti svjestan te cinjenice da bismo uopce mogli zapoceti svoje hodanje k Njemu. On jest s nama uvijek, ali se nama potrebno potruditi da budemo s Njim. Majka nas poziva: Otvorite mu svoje srce i darujte mu sve to je u njemu. Puno je lake s nekim podijeliti kruh, imanje, novac pa i vrijeme nego primiti drugoga pod vlastiti krov, uvesti ga u svoju kucu, otvoriti mu svoje srce. Dopustiti nekome da zade i u najskrovitije predjele vlastite due mnogo je tee. Najtee je s nekim podijeliti najvece dubine vlastite radosti, svoju patnju, rane i krieve svoga ivota. Moguce je to s onim osobama najbliskijim ako je uopce moguce s ljudima to do kraja uciniti. I samima sebi smo nepoznanica i tajna, i same sebe ne poznajemo do kraja i u potpunosti a jo manje nas poznaju drugi ljudi. Samo onaj iz cije smo ruke izili zna i moe ozdraviti, iscijeliti i ispuniti praznine due i srca. Puno je lake nabrajati molitve nego otvoriti svoje srce. Zato nam nece pomoci molitva, jer molitva ne pomae niti odmara nego Bog u molitvi. A on ne moe doci u molitvu bez srca, kao to ti ne moe uci u kucu kojoj su vrata zakljucana. Najveca patnja covjeka jest nepovjerenje prema Bogu to proizvodi u covjeku strah, tjeskobu i zabrinutost za vlastiti ivot, za buducnost. Ako se bojim da ce me netko okrasti, ubiti onda cu se nastojati obraniti, zatititi, zatvorit cu i zakljucati vrata. Suprotno osjecam ako imam povjerenja. Tako je i u odnosu prema Bogu. Ako imam povjerenja u Njega, ako vjerujem da ce moj ivot s Isusom biti sretan i ispunjen. Ako uzmem Njegove rijeci kao boanske a ne ljudske. Ako vjerujem da je Njegova rijec istina, da on ima rijeci ivota vjecnoga otvoriti cu mu vrata svoje kuce, svoga doma i srca. Vrijeme je milosti govori nam Majka Marija. Potice nas da nam sati i dani ne prolaze bez Isusa. S Isusom se sve ostvaruje. Osnovni problem covjeka jest to je daleko od Boga, to radi bez Njega, bez kontakta s Njime. Cesto se moe dogoditi da ga zaboravimo, da ga gurnemo na stranu, ili ga moda dozovemo kao hitnu pomoc kad nas ivot pritisne kakvom nevoljom. Moda molimo pet minuta ili pola sata pa ga onda gurnemo u stranu umjesto da se stalno hranimo njime. A Bog nije vatrogasac, on bi elio postati tvoj i moj suputnik, prijatelj i spasitelj. Uzmimo ozbiljno rijeci koje su zacete u Majcinu srcu da nam dani ne produ bez smisla i cilja. Dopustimo Isusu da i ovog Uskrsa on u nama uskrsne. Mir vam i Dobro. Fra Ljubo Kurtovic, OFM
