Ivan of Medjugorje: Our Lady wants to wake us up from the spiritual coma

The beginning of the apparitions was a huge surprise for me.

I remember well the second day. Kneeling before her, the first question we asked was: “Who are you? What's your name?" Our Lady replied smiling: “I am the Queen of Peace. I come, dear children, because My Son sends me to help you ". Then he said these words: "Peace, peace, peace. Peace be. Peace in the world. Dear children, peace must reign between men and God and among men themselves ". This is very important. I want to repeat these words: "Peace must reign between men and God and between men themselves". Especially in the time in which we live we must resurrect this peace.

Our Lady says that this world today is in great discomfort, in a profound crisis and there is a risk of self-destruction. The Mother comes from the King of Peace. Who can know more than you how much peace this tired and tried world needs? Tired families; tired young people; even the Church is tired. How much he needs peace. She comes to us as the Mother of the Church. You want to fortify it. But all of us are this living Church. All of us gathered here are the lungs of the living Church.

Our Lady says: “Dear children, if you are strong the Church will also be strong. But if you are weak, the Church will also be weak. You are My Church alive. So I invite you, dear children: let each of your families be a chapel where you pray. " Each of our families must become a chapel, because there is no praying Church without a family that prays. Today's family is bleeding. She is spiritually ill. Society and the world cannot heal unless they heal the family first. If the family heals we will all benefit. The Mother comes to us to encourage us, console us. He comes and offers us a heavenly cure for our pains. She wants to bandage our wounds with love, tenderness and maternal warmth. He wants to lead us to Jesus. He is our only and true peace.

In a message, Our Lady says: "Dear children, today's world and humanity are facing a great crisis, but the biggest crisis is that of faith in God". Because we have turned away from God. We have turned away from God and from prayer.

"Dear children, today's world and humanity have walked towards a future without God." “Dear children, this world cannot give you true peace. The peace it offers you will disappoint you very soon. True peace is only in God, so pray. Open yourselves to the gift of peace for your own good. Bring prayer back to the family. " Today prayer has disappeared in many families. There is a lack of time for each other. Parents no longer have time for their children and vice versa. The father has none for the mother and the mother for the father. The dissolution of the moral life occurs. There are so many tired and destroyed families. Even external influences such as TV and the internet… So many abortions for which Our Lady sheds tears. Let's dry your tears. We tell you that we will be better and that we will accept all your invitations. We really have to make up our mind today. We don't wait for tomorrow. Today we decide to be better and we welcome peace as a starting point for the rest.

Peace must reign in the hearts of men, because Our Lady says: "Dear children, if there is no peace in the heart of man and if there is no peace in families, there can be no peace in the world". Our Lady continues: “Dear children, do not just talk about peace, but start living it. Don't just talk about prayer, but start living it. "

TV and mass media often say that this world is in an economic downturn. Dear friends, it is not only in economic recession, but above all in spiritual recession. The spiritual recession generates other types of crises, such as that of the family and of society.

The Mother comes to us, not to bring us fear or to punish us, to criticize us, to talk to us about the end of the world or the second coming of Jesus, but for another purpose.

Our Lady invites us to Holy Mass, because Jesus gives himself through it. Going to Holy Mass means meeting Jesus.

In a message, Our Lady said to us visionaries: “Dear children, if one day you had to choose whether to meet Me or go to Holy Mass, do not come to Me; go to Holy Mass ”. Going to Holy Mass means going to meet Jesus who gives himself; open up and give yourself to him, speak to him and receive him.

Our Lady invites us to the monthly confession, to adore the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, to venerate the holy Cross. Invite priests to organize Eucharistic adorations in their parishes. He invites us to pray the Rosary in our families and wants prayer groups to be created in parishes and families, so that they heal the same families and society. In a particular way, Our Lady invites us to read sacred Scripture in families.

In a message he says: “Dear children, the Bible be in a visible place in your every family. Read the Holy Scripture. Reading Jesus, he will live in your heart and in that of your family ". Our Lady invites us to forgive, to love others and to help others. He repeated the word "forgive yourself" many times. We forgive ourselves and forgive others to open the way to the Holy Spirit in our hearts. Without forgiveness, says Our Lady, we cannot heal neither physically nor spiritually nor emotionally. We really need to know how to forgive.

In order for our forgiveness to be complete and holy, Our Lady invites us to pray with the heart. He repeated many times: “Pray, pray, pray. Pray incessantly. May prayer be joy for you. " Don't just pray with your lips either mechanically or traditionally. Don't pray looking at the clock to finish first. Our Lady wants us to dedicate time to prayer and to God.

Praying with the heart means above all praying with love and with our whole being. Prayer is a meeting with Jesus, a dialogue with him, a rest. We must come out of this prayer filled with joy and peace.

May prayer be joy for us. Our Lady knows that we are not perfect. You know that it is sometimes difficult for us to gather in prayer. She invites us to the school of prayer and says: "Dear children, you must not forget that there are no stops at this school". You must attend the school of prayer every day, as an individual, as a family and as a community. She says: "Dear children, if you want to pray better you must try to pray more". Praying more is a personal decision, but praying better is a divine grace, which is given to those who pray most.

We often say that we don't have time to pray. We find many excuses. Let's say that we have to work, that we are busy, that we don't have the opportunity to meet ... When we go home we have to watch TV, clean, cook ... What does our Heavenly Mom say about these apologies? “Dear children, don't say you don't have time. Time is not the problem. The real problem is love. Dear children, when a man loves something he always finds time. " If there is love, everything is possible. "

In all these years, Our Lady wants to awaken us from the spiritual coma.
