Jacov of Medjugorje: I tell you the main messages of Our Lady

FATHER LIVIO: Well Jakov now let's see what messages Our Lady has given us to guide us towards eternal salvation. There is no doubt in fact that she, as a mother, has been so long with us to help us, in a difficult moment for humanity, on the way that leads to Heaven. What are the messages that Our Lady has given to you?

JAKOV: These are the main messages.

FATHER LIVIO: Which ones?

JAKOV: They are prayer, fasting, conversion, peace and Holy Mass.

FATHER LIVIO: Ten things about the message of prayer.

JAKOV: As we all know, Our Lady invites us every day to recite the three parts of the rosary. And when he invites us to pray the rosary, or in general when he invites us to pray, he wants us to do it from the heart.
FATHER LIVIO: What do you think it means to pray with our heart?

JAKOV: It's a difficult question for me, because I think nobody can ever describe prayer with the heart, but only try it.

FATHER LIVIO: It is therefore an experience that one must try to do.

JAKOV: Actually I think that when we feel the need in our heart, when we feel that our heart needs prayer, when we feel the joy in praying, when we feel the peace in praying, then we pray with the heart. However, we must not pray as if it were an obligation, because Our Lady does not force anyone. In fact, when she appeared in Medjugorje and asked to follow the messages, she did not say: "You must accept them", but she always invited.

FATHER LIVIO: Do you feel a little Jacov the Madonna prays?

JAKOV: Definitely.

FATHER LIVIO: How do you pray?

JAKOV: You certainly pray to Jesus because ...

FATHER LIVIO: But have you never seen her pray?

JAKOV: You always pray with us our Father and Glory to the Father.

FATHER LIVIO: I suppose you pray in a very particular way.

JAKOV: Yes.

FATHER LIVIO: If possible, try to describe how he prays. Do you know why I ask you this question? Because Bernadette was so impressed by the way Our Lady made the sign of the holy cross, that when they said to her: "Show us how Our Lady makes the sign of the cross", she refused saying: "It is impossible to make the sign of the holy cross as the holy Virgin does it ". That's why I ask you to try, if possible, to tell us how the Madonna prays.

JAKOV: We cannot, because first of all it is not possible to represent the voice of the Madonna, which is a beautiful voice. Furthermore, the way Our Lady pronounces the words is also beautiful.

FATHER LIVIO: Do you mean to say the words of our Father and of Glory to the Father?

JAKOV: Yes, she pronounces them with a sweetness that you cannot describe, to such an extent that if you listen to her then you desire and try to pray as Our Lady does.

FATHER LIVIO: Extraordinary!

JAKOV: And it is said: “This is what prayer is with the heart! Who knows when I too will come to pray as Our Lady does ”.

FATHER LIVIO: Does Our Lady pray with the heart?

JAKOV: Definitely.

FATHER LIVIO: So you too, seeing the Madonna praying, did you learn to pray?

JAKOV: I learned to pray a little, but I will never be able to pray like Our Lady.

FATHER LIVIO: Yes, of course. Our Lady is the prayer made flesh.

FATHER LIVIO: Besides our Father and the Glory to the Father, what other prayers did Our Lady say? I have heard, it seems to me from Vicka, but I am not sure, that on some occasions he recited the Creed.

JAKOV: No, Our Lady with me no.

FATHER LIVIO: With you, isn't it? Never?

JAKOV: No, never. Some of us visionaries asked Our Lady what her favorite prayer was and she replied: "The Creed".

FATHER LIVIO: The Creed?

JAKOV: Yes, the Creed.

FATHER LIVIO: Have you never seen Our Lady make the sign of the holy cross?

JAKOV: No, like me not.

FATHER LIVIO: Evidently the example he gave us in Lourdes must suffice. Then, besides our Father and the Glory to the Father, you have not said any other prayers with Our Lady. But listen, did Our Lady never recite the Ave Maria?

JAKOV: No. In fact, at the beginning this seemed strange and we asked ourselves: "But why doesn't the Ave Maria say?". Once, during the apparition, after reciting our Father together with Our Lady, I continued with the Hail Mary, but when I realized that Our Lady, instead, recited the Glory to the Father, I stopped and I continued with her.
