Message o 25 July 2012:
Dear Children, oday I call you tothe 'good'. Be bearers o peace
andgoodness in this world. Pray that Godmay give you the strength
so that hopeand boldness may always reign in yourheart and lie,
since you are God'schildren and bearers o His hope to thisworld
which has neither joy in its heart,nor uture, since its heart is
not open toGod, your salvation. hank you orresponding to my
call.
God's Children and Bearerso His Hope
War, hunger, violence, systematicexploitation o human beings and
nature,sacriiced to the god o consumerism: stuo every day we might
say; crimes that bynow don't even make news. Yet, manreuses to
acknowledge his intrinsicinability to solve the great problems
oexistence, and continues to proceed alongways that are inexorably
closed, as he vainlysearches or the way o lie in the maze o a
world that has closed itsel to Lie.Forgetting that we are made
in theimage o God; that we are called to bechildren o God, can only
lead to alienationand a reduction o lie to the biological oranimal
state. However, acknowledging thatwe are made in the image o God or
that weare God's children, is not suicient i we donot also live -
or at least try to live - as such.his is the essence o the
Medjugorjemessage, and it is perectly in line with theGospel and
Church teaching.
Man is inseparable rom God. Onceman acknowledges this, he can
set out on
the way o peace, joy and hope. Jesus is Godwho came amongst men,
and every man iscalled to accept him as the Son o God, orit is only
in Him that man can be ulilled,and is able to realize the good
prepared byGod or him and or the world. his is thetrue essence o
man. Only to acknowledge itand accept the consequences would
suice.All the rest is trimmings.
he task that Mary entrusts us with iso paramount importance and
involves allour aculties: bodily and spiritually; becauseShe isn't
asking us to "do", but to "be". Wemust be authentic Christians who
live by
and are surrendered to Christ, till He livesin us. Only then,
can we serve as bearers opeace and goodness in this world. hesame
goes or all men, no matter his tongue,race or nation. Every member
o the humanrace is called to bear God to others, becauseevery man
is created in His image! Peaceand joy in Jesus and Mary.

"Dear Children, I am with you, and Iwill not give in. I desire
making you knowmy Son. I desire having my children with
me in the eternal lie. I desire that youexperience the joy o
peace and that youhave eternal salvation. I pray that you
mayovercome human weaknesses. I pray to mySon that He might grant
you pure hearts.
My dear Children, only pure heartsknow how to carry the cross
and knowhow to sacriice themselves or all thosesinners who have
oended the HeavenlyFather and that even today oend Him,even though
they have not known Him.I pray that you might know the light othe
true aith that comes only rom theprayer o pure hearts. hen, all
those who
are near to you will experience the love omy Son. Pray or those
whom my Son haschosen, that they guide you on the way tosalvation.
May your lips be sealed against(making) any judgement. hank

Mary doesn't Give In Do we?
Tree desires and three prayers by Mary,and the revelation o the
ruits o eternal liethat ollow. Tese are the contents o thisbeautiul
message by Mary, providing uswith daily contemplation. Purity o
heartis a gi rom the Lord, but it is also ruit o
Mary's prayer, and we need it to know howto carry the cross and
how to recognisethe light o true aith. Mary promises toall those
who are close to her that theywill experience her Son's Love. What
elsecould we desire? Her closing request:pray
or priests! comes with the strict order torerain rom judging
them!
Message o 25 August 2012:
"Dear Children, Also today, withhope in my heart, I pray or you
andI thank the Most High or all o youwho live my messages with the
heart.Give thanks to God's love that I canlove and lead each o you
throughmy Immaculate Heart also towardsconversion. Open your hearts
anddecide or holiness, and hope will givebirth to joy in your
hearts. hank youor responding to my call."
Hope Will Give Birth to Joy
Our Blessed Mother calls us yet againto look at nature to be
inspired to live andgrow in God's plan, which doesn't regardmankind
generally, but every single person,whatever his race, culture,
colour ...
God came into the world to saveeveryone. For this he assumed our
humannature; or this He became a man! Nospecial skills are
required. Just open yourheart to Him! Allow Him to enter, topuriy
it and abide in it. All this is at the
same time both within and not within ourreach. It isn't so much
a question o one'sphysical abilities or scientiic and
technicalknowledge. But neither is it an unattainablemirage. It
does take, instead, our consentand a living desire to receive God's
Spiritwhich raises us up; it takes our Yes to HisProject o Lie.
No one and nothing can prevent thismiracle o Love; nothing but
our ownreedom to reject it. oday, as then, manis ree to choose to
accept or cruciy Jesus.his is true or me, or you, or everyone.And
whether priest or lay person, the risk
is the same. Yet, perhaps a priest is moreat risk because o the
greatness o the taskto which he is called (is this not the
reasonOur Lady asks us every 2nd o the monthto pray or them?).
We are the arbiters o our own lives,and to a certain degree,
even o others'lives; and this responsibility is marvellousand grave
at the same time. But we are notlet to ourselves! God is with us;
the angelsand the saints assist us. However, ours isthe decision in
the end.
Decide or God, Our Lady has explicitysaid a number o times. oday
she is
repeating it in substance when she calls usto Love, to
conversion, to holiness and tohope. "oday", a metaphor or the
Lord'sday; the day we all await so that He maywipe away our tears,
so our eyes may relectHis Light and His Love.
My Son!

Encounter with Christ is Centreo Existence
o the crowd that asks: What must wedo, to be doing the works of
God? (Jn 6:28),Jesus says: Tis is the work of God, that youbelieve
in him whom he has sent (v. 29).
Te centre o existence - that whichgives meaning and certain hope
in the all-
too-oen dicult journey o lie - is aithin Jesus, it is the
encounter with Christ. Wealso ask: What must we do to have
eternallie?, and Jesus replies: Believe in me.Faith is the
undamental thing. It is not amatter here o ollowing an idea or a
project,but o encountering Jesus as a living Person,o letting
ourselves be totally involved byhim and by his Gospel. Jesus
invites us notto stop at the purely human horizon and toopen
ourselves to the horizon o God, to thehorizon o aith. He demands
but a singleact: to accept Gods plan, namely, to believein him whom
he has sent (v. 29). Moses hadgiven Israel manna, the bread rom
heaven
with which God himsel had nourished hispeople. Jesus does not
give something, hegives himsel: He is the true bread whichcomes
down rom heaven. He is the livingWord o the Father; in the
encounter withhim we meet the living God.
What must we do, to be doing theworks o God?(v. 28) asks the
crowd, readyto act in order to perpetuate the miracle othe loaves.
But Jesus, the true bread o liethat satisfes our hunger or meaning
andor truth, cannot be earned with humanwork; he comes to us only
as a gi o Godslove, as a work o God to be asked or andreceived.
Angelus 5 Aug. 2012
The Holy Father, Benedict XVI
Ephphatha!
At the centre o todays Gospel (Mk 7:31-37), there is a small but
very importantword. A word that, in its deepest sense,sums up
Christs whole message and allhis work. Te Evangelist Mark records
thisword in the very language o Jesus in whichJesus spoke it so
that we may hear it evenmore vividly. Te word is Ephphatha,which
means be opened.
Let us look at the context in which it isused. Jesus was
crossing the region knownas Decapolis, between the coast o yreand
Sidon and Galilee, hence an area thatwas not Jewish. Tey brought
him a dea-mute to be healed - evidently the Lord's
ame had spread that ar. Jesus took himaside and touched his ears
and his tongueand then, looking up to heaven, said witha deep sigh:
Ephphatha which means beopened. Ten the man immediately beganto
hear and to speak plainly (c. Mk 7:35).
Tis, thereore is the historical andliteral meaning o this word:
thanks toJesus intervention, the dea-mute was
opened; previously he had been closed,isolated, it had been very
dicult or himto communicate.
For him, healing meant an openingto others and to the world, an
openingwhich, starting with the organs o hearingand speech,
involved his whole sel and hislie: he could at last communicate and
thusrelate in a new way.
However, we all know that a personsclosure and isolation do not
only dependon the sense organs. Tere is an innerclosure that afects
the persons inmostsel, which the Bible calls the heart.
It is this that Jesus came to open, toliberate, so as to enable
us to live to theull our relationship with God and withothers.
Tis is why I said that this small word,ephphatha be opened, sums
up in itselChrists entire mission. He was made manso that man,
rendered inwardly dea andmute by sin, might be able to hear
Gods
voice, the voice o Love that speaks to hisheart, and thus in his
turn learn to speakthe language o love, to communicate withGod and
with others.
Angelus, 9 Sept. 2012 www.vatican.va

11 October 2012 marks the beginning of theYear of the Faith
declared by B.XVI. It ends 24Nov. 2013. The initial date coincides
with the 50thanniversary of the opening of Vatican Council II,and
with the 20th anniversary of the publicaton ofthe Catechism of the
Catholic Church. The letter,Porta fidei, presents basic indications
accordingto which the Church shall live this special year.
POPE BENEDIC XVI's desire is thatthe faithful rediscover "the
journey of faith"and "the joy and renewed enthusiasm of the
encounter with Christ" [2]: "It often happensthat Christians are
more concerned for thesocial, cultural and political consequencesof
their commitment, continuing to thinkof the faith as a self-evident
presuppositionfor life in society. In reality, not only canthis
presupposition no longer be taken forgranted, but it is often
openly denied.
Whereas in the past it was possible torecognize a unitary
cultural matrix, broadlyaccepted in its appeal to the content of
thefaith and the values inspired by it, today thisno longer seems
to be the case in large swathesof society, because of a profound
crisis offaith that has affected many people." [2]
Thus: "We must rediscover a taste forfeeding ourselves on the
word of God ,faithfully handed down by the Church, andon the bread
of life, offered as sustenancefor his disciples (cf. Jn 6:51).
Indeed, theteaching of Jesus still resounds in our daywith the same
power: 'Do not labour for thefood which perishes, but for the food
which
endures to eternal life' (Jn 6:27)."A deeper study of the Word
of God,
the Eucharist and Church teachingswill accompany the witness of
the faith,because faith grows, "when it is lived as anexperience of
love received and when it iscommunicated as an experience of
graceand joy. It makes us fruitful, because itexpands our hearts in
hope and enables usto bear life-giving witness: indeed, it opensthe
hearts and minds of those who listen to
respond to the Lords invitation to adhere tohis word and become
his disciples. (...)Only through believingdoes faith grow
and become stronger; there is no otherway for possessing
certitude with regard toones life apart from self-abandonment, ina
continuous crescendo, into the hands of alove that seems to grow
constantly because ithas its origin in God." [7]
One of the aims of the Year of the Faithis to offer the
opportunity to intensify thewitness of charity: "Faith without
charitybears no fruit, while charity without faithwould be a
sentiment constantly at the mercyof doubt. Faith and charity each
require the
other, in a way that each allows the other toset out along its
respective path." [14]
The path sketched out by the Holy Fatheralso wants to help us
understand the "act bywhich we choose to entrust ourselves fullyto
God, in complete freedom." Citing StPaul who refers to his
encounter with Lydia:'The Lord opened her heart to give heed to
what was said by Paul' (Acts 16:14), we learn:"There is an
important meaning containedwithin this expression. Saint Luke
teachesthat knowing the content to be believed isnot sufficient
unless the heart, the authenticsacred space within the person, is
openedby grace that allows the eyes to see belowthe surface and to
understand that what hasbeen proclaimed is the word of God."
[10]
This is where we find the mostsignificant point of contact with
Our Lady's
teaching given through the Messages atMedjugorje. The journey of
the faith, morethan acquiring on an intelligent level thecontents
to believe, requires an open heart.These years of messages received
have taughtus in many ways the fundamental truth ofChristian life.
"Today I desire urging you toopen your heart to God, just as
flowers openup to the sun in spring" (31-01-1985). "Openyourselves
to God and give over to Him allyour difficulties and crosses so
that He maytransform everything into joy. My children,you cannot
open up to God unless you pray"(25-07-1995). "I call you all to
open yourhearts up to God's love which is so great and
open for each of you. For the love of man,God sent me into your
midst to show youthe way of salvation" (25-04-1995). "Allowme, my
children, to lead you. Open yourhearts to the Holy Spirit so that
all the goodthat is in you may flourish and bear fruit
ahundredfold" (25-07-2011).
The opening of the heart is the beginning
The YEAR of FAITH and the MESSAGE of MEDJUGORJE

MEDJUGORJE
In the Sign o the Cross!byGiuseppe Ferraro
We have always been cautious beore themaniestion o signs, which
at Medjugorjehave however abounded. Tey are a sureexpression o
God's love, but at times - dueto man's weakness and limits - it
happens
that the signs themselves end up occupyingthe place which
belongs only to God.
Nonetheless, the great cross o light thatappeared in the evening
skyat Medjugorjeon the eastday o the Assumption o theBlessed Virgin
Mary,during the celebrationo Mass, speaks to us o spiritual truths
thatneed to be recalled. As a matter o act, thecross expresses the
spiritual core o Mary'smessage and call at Medjugorje, and
theultime signifcance o Her presence in ourmidst.
Christ's Paschal Mystery, which isbeautiully summed up in the
sign o the
glorious Cross, is at the very heart o ouraith. Mary unceasingly
calls us, as baptizedaithul and her children, to live the mysteryo
the Cross and Resurrection in unionwith her Son. "Jesus bore the
Cross or thesake o the whole world, and He was ull o
peace and love. He rose and ascended intoheaven. So, my
children, carry the crosswith love! Te cross is salvation, and
aerthe cross comes the Resurrection"(messageto prayer group,
20.03.90).
Tis is Mary's request, so we can obtain,in Christ, the grace o
salvation or themultitude o brothers "who haven't known
God's love." Says Mary: "oday I call youto oer up your crosses
and suering ormy intentions. My children, oer up yoursuering as a
gi to God so they can becomea most beautiul ower o joy. Pray,
mychildren, to understand that suering canbecome joy, and the cross
the way to joy"(25-09-1996).
Tis is also the "ulflment o the secretsbegun in Fatima"which
Mary announced inMedjugorje (25 Aug. 1981); the importanceo which
Blessed John Paul II had perceivedwhen he said, "Medjugorje is
today thespiritual centre o the world" (c. p. 174,Perch santo, by
S. Oder, postulator othe Cause or Beatifcation).

3of conversion. Then, for the faith to bestrengthened, one must
begin to proceedalong a journey, because without the decisionto do
so, the opening of the heart cannot leadto new life. The messages
of Medjugorje areparticularly rich in this image of makingprogress,
of deciding to advance. "Dearchildren, you do not desire moving
forwardin this time when the Holy Spirit is workingin a special
way. Your hearts are turned toearthly things, and this is holding
you back"(09-05-1985). "My children, you talk much
about God, but you witness little with yourlife. For this
reason, my children, decidefor conversion, that your life may be
truebefore God and so that in the truth of yourlife you can witness
to the beauty that Godhas granted you" (25-07-1996). "Repent,
andbegin to live my messages, not with words,but with your life.
That way you'll have thestrength, my children, to decide for the
trueconversion of heart" (25-09-1998).
This decision needs constant checkingand purification: "When
something is goodone needs to persevere in the good, and notthink:
God doesn't see me, listen to me or helpme"(25-03-1992). "With an
open heart, askyourselves sincerely if you desire the livingGod or
if you desire setting Him aside to liveaccording to your own will"
(02-06-2011).
For the heart to continue to open,it requires the strength and
grace ofthe Sacraments, the Word of God andcommunion with the
Church. All are crucialpoints in the teachings of Benedict XVI,
andall are repeated in the messages. "The Massis the highest form
of prayer. You will neverunderstand how great it is. Therefore,
behumble and respectful during the celebration,and prepare
yourselves for it with great care"(13-01-1984). "Spend as much time
as possiblein prayer and adoration of Jesus in the mostblessed
Sacrament, so He can change you andplace in your hearts a living
faith, togetherwith the desire for eternal life"
(25-03-2008)."Children, you do not know how to live in thegrace of
God, therefore I call you all anew tocarry the Word of God in your
hearts and inyour thoughts. My children, place the HolyScripture in
a visible place in your families;and read it and live it"
(25-08-1996).
The journey of the faith has its ownspace, which is within the
community,within the Church, for it is she who gives usthe
Sacraments, who leads us to the light ofthe Word of God, who
safeguards the gift of
communion. The Church is the great family ofGod. It is one of
the cornerstones of the Pope'smagisterium, and also of Mary's
teachings atMedjugorje. "In discovering the Father, yourlife will
be directed to carrying out Gods willand the realisation ofGods
familyin the waythat my Son desires" (02-01-2011). "Prayer willlead
you to the fulfilment of my desire, of mymission here with you, to
the unity of Godsfamily" (02-02-2011). "I call you to gather
intoGods family and be strengthened with theFathers strength. As
individuals, my children,you cannot stop the evil that wants to
reign inthis world, nor destroy it (02-08-2011).
The above messages clearly show us
the ecclesial dimension of the messages ofMedjugorje. Mary,
Mother of the Church,desires gathering together God's
familywhichwas entrusted to her (Jn 19:27) in the unityof faith, as
at Pentecost which overcame thedispersion of Babel that not only
divided men,but made them "dangerous for one another",as Benedict
XVI has put it. Marco Vignati

Medjugorje seer, Marija, was presentor a prayer meetingheld at
Cassola (N.E.Italy) on 22 Sept. 2012. he meeting beganat 3 pm with
the recitation o the DivineMercy Chaplet, ollowed by the
Rosary,Holy Mass and Adoration. Marija receivedher apparition at

Lady appears, she always says Praisedbe Jesus Christ, and I
respond: Always mayJesus and Mary be praised! Our BlessedMother
then responds with a smile. Aterthat, we usually remain silent, and
wait orher to speak to us. I she doesn't say anythingwe begin to
commend people to her. Alsotoday Our Lady remained in silence
andlooked at us. Something I like to sayateran apparition is that
we seers have seen OurLady (through no merit o our own!) but itis
also true that She has seen all o you! andeven today, She looked at
you, and blessedyou!"
Marija said that through Our Lady'sintercession, healings rom
physicalillnesses, spiritual conversions anddeliverance rom
substance abuse, etc., stillcontinue. Marija particularly stressed
OurLady's request to pray: "his evening too,
when you go back home to your amilies,remember to pray, because

heMONH OF OCOBER is dedicatedto the Holy Rosary. o be truthful,
theRoman Missal speaks of Mary of the MostHoly Rosary, which
underlines its greatvalue. I often think of a message given in
theearly years of the apparitions. It was the 25thJune 1985 and
Marija had asked Our Ladyif there was something she wanted to say
to
priests. After calling all of us to pray theRosary, because,
"With the Rosary you canovercome all the obstacles that Satan
ispresently causing in the catholic Church,"Mary then added that
all priests should"pray the Rosary, to give space to the prayerof
the Rosary."
Praying always means to humble oneself.Humility is the first
virtue needed to pray.he prayer of the Rosary immediatelyhumbles
us. When the Rosary is prayedtogether, it unites hearts and minds.
Afamily that prays the daily Rosary willremain together. he Rosary
- we learn from
the above message - overcomes all obstacles;it sustains us in
trials; it grants peace tohearts. With Mary, Queen of Peace, I
blessyou all.

aren't good. Without mentioning the greatscandals which are
always deplorable, butwhich do not stain the majority o
priests,there are always reasons and situations thataren't what
they ought to be. For example,giving more importance to some
peoplerather than others; doing things out ohabit; not being as
spiritual as we ought;appearing worldly; having bouts o angeror
impatience; not always being available tothose in need; keeping the
church shut or
worship; neglecting the liturgy, etc.However and this applies to
anyone, not
just priests - criticism isn't good or anyone;neither to those
on the giving end or thereceiving end. Priests, however, more
thancommon mortals, bear a treasure in jars oclay. What does this
mean? hat togetherwith their human ragility, there is also
thepriestly dignity that makes him, a man,another Christ.
A priest does not belong to himsel;he belongs to God. From the
moment ohis ordination, it is not him who lives,but Christ who
lives in him. he priest is
responsible or the proclamation o the aithin its integrity; he
must help the people toknow and love God. he dignity o a priestis
unique. He works through Christ torealize that which man cannot do,
which isthe consecration o the bread and wine sothey become the
real presence o the Lord,and the orgiveness o sins.
Priests are a wonderul git or theChurch and the world. Without
them therecould not be the Eucharist, and without theEucharist the
Lord could not be presentas He is; there could not be the
Church.hrough the priestly ministry, the Lord
continues to save men; He continues beingpresent; He continues
sanctiying. Hebrings light to our darkness through HisWord.
he aithul are called to support theirpriests; to be close to
them with prayer,especially in diicult times, so that theycan be
pastors according to God's heart.Finally, even i God - when judging
Hispriests - will be demanding, because "towhom much is given, much
is expected", atthe same time God is jealous o his chosenones [1].
hat is why Our Lady says to usto keep our mouths shut, i.e., not to
judgepriests, but to open our hearts and pray orthem.

understood the importanceof prayer for those of my children who
have not come to know the heavenly Father's love."Her gaze is on us
to trigger the communion between souls: Hers and ours; ti ll we
become asone in prayer. So let us try to be aware of the moment (Rm

read over the message again slowly, to see
what God has to say to me - personally tome - with this message,
and all the timelooking into the heart. For example, whenOur Lady
had given the message in May -and it was a bit sad - I had stopped
to speakwith some pilgrims, and many asked mequestions like, when
will the world change?when will the world understand? Very ewasked
themselves: what should I do? Whenwill I change?
Tat hurt me, because we must beginwith ourselves. Aerwards we
will be ableto change also the others. 25 June 2009

with ourevery breath, our every heartbeat. (Justine
