What does Our Lady of Medjugorje say about the well-being of life?

November 18, 1983
Here in Medjugorje many families had begun to convert with enthusiasm, but then they went back to worries about material things, thus forgetting the only true good. I am not against the faithful also seeking material well-being, but they must not neglect prayer.
Some passages from the Bible that can help us understand this message.
Tobias 12,8-12
Good thing is prayer with fasting and almsgiving with justice. Better the little with justice than wealth with injustice. It is better to give alms than to put aside gold. Begging saves from death and purifies from all sin. Those who give alms will enjoy long life. Those who commit sin and injustice are enemies of their lives. I want to show you the whole truth, without hiding anything: I have already taught you that it is good to hide the king's secret, while it is glorious to reveal the works of God. Know therefore that, when you and Sara were in prayer, I would present the witness of your prayer before the glory of the Lord. So even when you buried the dead.
Genesis 3,1-9
The snake was the most cunning of all the wild beasts made by the Lord God. He said to the woman: "Is it true that God said: You must not eat of any tree in the garden?". The woman replied to the snake: "Of the fruits of the trees of the garden we can eat, but of the fruit of the tree that stands in the middle of the garden God said: You must not eat it and you must not touch it, otherwise you will die". But the snake said to the woman: “You will not die at all! Indeed, God knows that when you eat them, your eyes would open and you would become like God, knowing the good and the bad ". Then the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, pleasing to the eye and desirable to acquire wisdom; she took some fruit and ate it, then also gave it to her husband, who was with her, and he also ate it. Then both of them opened their eyes and realized they were naked; they braided fig leaves and made themselves belts. Then they heard the Lord God walking in the garden in the breeze of the day and the man and his wife hid from the Lord God in the middle of the trees in the garden. But the Lord God called the man and said to him, "Where are you?". He replied: "I heard your step in the garden: I was afraid, because I am naked, and I hid myself."
Sirach 34,13-17
The spirit of those who fear the Lord will live, because their hope is placed in the one who saves them. Whoever fears the Lord is not afraid of anything, and does not fear because he is his hope. Blessed is the soul of those who fear the Lord; who do you rely on? Who is your support? The eyes of the Lord are on those who love him, powerful protection and strength support, shelter from the fiery wind and shelter from the meridian sun, defense against obstacles, rescue in the fall; lifts the soul and brightens the eyes, grants health, life and blessing.
