Devotion to Medjugorje: Our Lady tells you to avoid idols

Message dated February 9, 1984
"Pray. Pray. Many people abandoned Jesus to follow other religions or religious sects. Their gods are made and their idols worshiped. How I suffer from this. How many unbelievers are there. When will I be able to convert them too? I can only succeed if you help me with your prayers. "
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.
Proverbs 15,25-33
The Lord tears down the house of the proud and makes the widow's boundaries firm. Evil thoughts are abominable to the Lord, but benevolent words are appreciated. Whoever is greedy for dishonest earnings upsets his home; but whoever detests gifts will live. The mind of the righteous meditates before answering, the mouth of the wicked expresses wickedness. The Lord is far from the wicked, but he listens to the prayers of the righteous. A luminous look gladdens the heart; happy news revives the bones. The ear that listens to a salutary rebuke will have its home in the midst of the wise. Whoever refuses the correction despises himself, who listens to the rebuke acquires sense. Fear of God is a school of wisdom, before glory there is humility.
Wisdom 14,12-21
The invention of idols was the beginning of prostitution, their discovery brought corruption to life. They did not exist at the beginning nor will they ever exist. They entered the world for the vanity of man, which is why a quick end was decreed for them. A father, consumed by a premature mourning, ordered an image of his son so soon kidnapped, and honored like a god who shortly before was only a deceased ordered his employees mystery and initiation rites. Then the wicked custom, strengthened with time, was observed as a law. The statues were also worshiped by order of the sovereigns: the subjects, not being able to honor them in person from a distance, reproduced the distant appearance with art, made a visible image of the revered king, to zealously flatter the absent, as if he were present. To the extension of the cult even among those who did not know him, he pushed the artist's ambition. In fact, the latter, eager to please the powerful, strove with the art of making the image more beautiful; the people, attracted by the gracefulness of the work, considered the object of worship the one who shortly before honored as a man. This became a threat to the living, because men, victims of misfortune or tyranny, imposed an incommunicable name on stones or woods.
