How to obtain the grace of healing, said by Our Lady in Medjugorje

In the Message of September 11, 1986 the Queen of Peace said: “Dear children, for these days while you are celebrating the cross, I wish that for you too the cross is joy. In a particular way, dear children, pray to be able to accept sickness and suffering with love as Jesus accepted them. Only in this way will I be able with joy to give you the healing graces that Jesus allows me. I can't heal, only God can heal. Thank you because you answered my call. "

It is not really possible to underestimate the extraordinary power of intercession that Mary Most Holy enjoys with God. Many sick people come to ask the help of Our Lady in Medjugorje to obtain healing from God: some have obtained it, others have instead obtained the gift of joyfully enduring their sufferings and offering them to God.

The healings that took place in Medjugorje are many, according to the spontaneous testimonies of the healed or their family members, they are vice versa less numerous for those who, rightly, demand a very rigorous medical documentation to endorse them. At the office for the findings of extraordinary healings opened by ARPA itself. over 500 cases have been recorded in Medjugorje. A multi-specialist team coordinated by some doctors, including dr. Antonacci, dr. Frigerio and dr. Mattalia, have selected from these about 50 cases, in accordance with the strict protocol of the Bureau Medical de Lourdes, which had the characteristics of immediacy, totality and irreversibility as well as being incurable pathologies for official medical science. Famous healings are those of Lola Falona, ​​multiple sclerosis patient, Diana Basile multiple sclerosis patient, Emanuela NG, doctor, recovered from a brain tumor, by Dr. Antonio Longo, pediatrician, who had long suffered from colon cancer . (see www.Miracles and Healings in Medjugorje). I would also like to mention here the Message of September 8, 1986 which said: “Many sick, many needy people began to pray for their healing here in Medjugorje. But, returning home, they quickly left out the prayer, thus losing the possibility of receiving the grace they await. "

When, which and how can we receive healing also here?

Of course, there are times and places in which the Lord, through the intercession of Mary or the Saints, grants graces and healings, but at any time and in any place he can give his graces.

I briefly recall the sacraments of healing the soul and body:

1- Confession, understood not only as an internal washing, but, according to the multiple requests of the Queen of Peace, as a path of conversion that engages all life ..., and therefore regular and periodic.

2- The anointing of the Sick, which is not only "Extreme Unction", but the Anointing for the healing of the sick (even old age is a disease from which you can no longer heal ..). And how many times we fear and neglect it for ourselves or for our sick family members!

3- Prayer before the Cross. And here I would like to recall the Message of March 25, 1997 which said: “Dear children! Today I invite you in a special way to take the cross in your hands and to meditate on the wounds of Jesus. Ask Jesus to heal your wounds, which you, dear children, have received during your life because of your sins or because of the sins of the your parents. Only in this way will you understand, dear children, that the healing of faith in God the creator is necessary in the world. Through the passion and death of Jesus on the cross, you will understand that only through prayer can you also become true apostles of the faith, living, in simplicity and in prayer, the faith that is a gift. Thanks for answering my call. "

4- The healing prayers ... We know that almost every evening after the Mass the healing prayer of the soul and body is done in Medjugorje, while there are those who go and those who come and also those who remain in prayer. We recall the Message of October 25, 2002: “Dear children, I invite you also to prayer today. Children, believe that with simple prayer miracles can be done. Through your prayer, you open your heart to God and He works miracles in your life. Looking at the fruits, your heart is filled with joy and gratitude to God for everything he does in your life and, through you, for others. Pray and believe, children, God gives you graces and you do not see them. Pray and you will see them. May your day be filled with prayer and thanksgiving for all that God gives you. Thanks for answering my call. "

5- The Eucharist: We remember how many healings take place in Lourdes in the Eucharistic Processions, before the Eucharist. For this reason, I would like to develop this point briefly, according to an already known study: "The five healings" that can be received in every Holy Mass ...

+) The healing of the soul: It takes place from the beginning of the celebration until the Oration of the day or Collect. It is the healing of the soul from sin, especially from the usual ones, from the sins of which the cause or root is not understood. For serious sins it is necessary to confess first, but here we can thank the Lord for having been freed from it or for forgiveness received ... Before healing the bodies Jesus heals souls. (cf. Mk. 2,5). Sin is the source of all evil and death. Sin is the root of all evil!

+) Healing of the mind: It occurs from the First Reading to the Prayer of the faithful included. Here all the healings can take place from "in my opinion", from wrong ideas, from memories that still work negatively within us, from all the activity of a mind disturbed or misled by obsessive ideas and obsessions, as well as from mental illnesses ... A single word can heal us! ... (cf. Mt 8, 8). All the good but also the bad start from the mind. Good and evil are conceived in the mind before being put into action!

+) Healing of the heart: It takes place from the Offertory to the Oration on the Offerings included. Here we heal our selfishness. Here we offer our life with all the joys and sufferings, with all the hopes and disappointments, with all the good and less good things present in us and around us. We know how to donate!

+) The healing of our prayer: It takes place from the Preface to the Eucharistic Dossology ("For Christ, with Christ and in Christ ...), which is the pinnacle of our thanksgiving. Here we learn to pray, to be in prayer with Jesus before the Father, remembering the main reasons for our prayer. Already the "Holy, holy, holy" makes us partakers of the Heavenly Liturgies, but there are various celebratory moments: the memorial, the particular intentions for which the Sacrifice of Praise is offered ..., and it all ends with the Christocentric Dossology, with an "Amen" that must fill not only the arches of our churches, but our whole being. Prayer connects us to the source of our spiritual life which is God, recognized, accepted, loved, praised and witnessed!

+) Physical healing: It takes place from the Our Father until the last prayer of the Holy Mass. It is good to remember that we do not only touch the edge of the mantle of Jesus like the Emoroissa (cf. Mk. 5, 25 ff.), But he himself! It is good to remember that we pray not only for some precise illness, but also for the conditions that are necessary for our earthly life: Peace understood as the fullness of the gifts (Shalom), the defense and liberation from evil, from all evil. God created us healthy and wants us healthy. "The glory of God is the living man." (Title of Psalm 144 + St. Irenaeus).

The sign of healing is the heat that we can feel in the diseased part or in another part of the body. When you feel cold or chills, it means that there is a struggle that prevents healing.

Physical healing can be instantaneous or progressive, definitive or temporal, total or partial. In Medjugorje it is often progressive after a journey ...

+) Finally, everything is sealed by the final blessings and by the song of final praise, without rushing out of the church, but also without market atmospheres in the church, but with silence and deep awareness of what the Lord has done in us and among us. Outside or on another occasion we will testify to it, exchange questions and information. Let us rather remember to thank the whole Lord!

Do we realize what we lose when we neglect or live these moments of grace badly or in sin? For those who cannot approach the Eucharist, or on weekdays, when we have other binding commitments, spiritual communion is always of great relevance and importance. Do you think that Jesus does not manifest himself to those who seek him and to those who love him? (Jn 15, 21). Who among us is not interested in physical or spiritual health? Who has no physical or spiritual health problems? So let's remember where we can find answers and also teach them to our children or family! ..

I end with this Message of February 25, 2000: “Dear children, wake up from the sleep of unbelief and sin, because this is a gift of grace that God gives you. Use this and seek from God the grace of healing your heart, so that you can look with heart at God and men. Pray in a special way for those who have not known the love of God, and testify with your life, so that they too may know His immeasurable love. Thanks for answering my call. "

I bless you.
