Listen to what Our Lady of Medjugorje tells you about Confession

November 7, 1983
Do not confess out of habit, to stay as before, without any change. No, that's not a good thing. Confession must give impetus to your life, to your faith. It must stimulate you to draw close to Jesus. If confession does not mean this to you, in truth you will be very difficult to convert.
Some passages from the Bible that can help us understand this message.
John 20,19: 31-XNUMX
On the evening of that same day, the first after Saturday, while the doors of the place where the disciples were for fear of the Jews were closed, Jesus came, stopped among them and said: "Peace be with you!". Having said that, he showed them his hands and his side. And the disciples rejoiced at seeing the Lord. Jesus said to them again: “Peace to you! As the Father sent me, I also send you. " After saying this, he breathed on them and said: “Receive the Holy Spirit; to whom you forgive sins they will be forgiven and to whom you will not forgive them, they will remain unremitted. " Thomas, one of the Twelve, called God, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples then said to him: "We have seen the Lord!". But he said to them, "If I do not see the sign of the nails in his hands and do not put my finger in the place of the nails and do not put my hand in his side, I will not believe." Eight days later the disciples were at home again and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, behind closed doors, stopped among them and said: "Peace be with you!". Then he said to Thomas: “Put your finger here and look at my hands; stretch out your hand, and put it in my side; and no longer be incredulous but a believer! ". Thomas replied: "My Lord and my God!". Jesus said to him: "Because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are those who, even if they have not seen, will believe!". Many other signs made Jesus in the presence of his disciples, but they have not been written in this book. These were written, because you believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and because, by believing, you have life in his name.
Matthew 18,1-5
At that moment the disciples approached Jesus saying: "Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?". Then Jesus called a child to himself, placed him among them and said: “Truly I say to you, if you do not convert and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever becomes small like this child will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And anyone who welcomes even one of these children in my name welcomes me.
Luke 13,1: 9-XNUMX
At that time, some presented themselves to report to Jesus the fact of those Galileans, whose blood Pilate had flowed along with that of their sacrifices. Taking the floor, Jesus said to them: «Do you believe that those Galileans were more sinners than all the Galileans, for having suffered this fate? No, I tell you, but if you don't get converted, you will all perish in the same way. Or do those eighteen people, on whom the tower of Sìloe collapsed and killed them, do you think were more guilty than all the inhabitants of Jerusalem? No, I say to you, but if you are not converted, you will all perish in the same way ». This parable also said: «Someone had planted a fig tree in his vineyard and came looking for fruit, but he did not find any. Then he said to the vintner: “Here, I have been looking for fruits on this tree for three years, but I can't find any. So cut it out! Why must he use the land? ". But he replied: "Master, leave him again this year, until I have hoed around him and put manure. We will see if it will bear fruit for the future; if not, you will cut it "".
