Jelena of Medjugorje: prayer, confession, sin. What Our Lady says

D. Are you ever tired of praying? Do you always feel the desire?

R. Prayer for me is a rest. I think it should be for everyone. Our Lady said to rest in prayer. Do not pray alone and always for fear of God. The Lord instead wants us to give peace, security, joy,

Q. Why do you feel tired when you pray so much?

R. I think we have not felt God as Father. Our God is like a God in the clouds.

Q. How do you feel with your peers?

A. It is completely normal even if there are classmates from other religions in the classroom.

Q. What advice do you give us to help children pray?

R. Not long ago Our Lady said that parents must pray for inspiration for what they have to say to their children and how they should behave.

Q. What do you want most in life?

R. My greatest desire is to convert and I always ask the Madonna for it. MARIA DOES NOT WANT TO HEAR TALKING ABOUT SIN

Q. What is sin for you?

R. Our Lady said that she does not want to hear about sin. It is a bad thing for me because it moves so far from the Lord. Please be very careful not to make mistakes. I think we all have to rely on the Lord and follow his path. A great joy and peace comes from prayer, from good works and sin is quite the opposite.

D. It is said that man no longer has a sense of sin, why?

R. A strange thing I felt in me. When I pray more, I feel I am doing more sins. Sometimes I didn't understand why. I have seen that with prayer my eyes open; because something that didn't seem bad to me before, now I can't be at peace if I don't confess it. For this we must really pray that our eyes open, because if a person does not see, he falls.

Q. And speaking of confession, what can you tell us?

R. Confession is also very important. Our Lady said it too. When a person wants to grow in his spiritual life, he must confess often. But then Fr. Tomislav said that if we confess once a month perhaps it means that we have not yet felt God close. The need for confession must be felt, not just waiting for the month. I don't know why, but with confession I feel liberation from everything. Above all, it helps me to grow.

Q. Does a confession we make with God, if we confess internally, it has no value? Do we have to confess to a priest?

A. This is done many times in the day, but confession must be made because God forgives us for his great love. Jesus said it in the Gospel, there is no doubt.

SACRIFIES MAKE US FEEL GOD

Q. A qualified person told me that we must not give up all things: television is not a bad thing because it serves us. Giving up is a bit stupid.

R. Our Lady explained to us that our sacrifices can help us to draw closer to God. A sacrifice keeps you awake, you are more attentive. For example, if we watch television and are solid in God, nothing happens. But unfortunately we are not so strong and attached to God. But when we pray and make sacrifices we no longer feel the need to be so enslaved by television or other things. This is not a serious sin, but it takes us away from God.

D.… Always that person continues: God has given us all the things in the world and we must enjoy them, not give them up.

R. I think these people have not understood. Even if I can't judge anyone. I could talk day and night about how beautiful it is to pray and I think that everything is resolved and simplified by kneeling before God. So you can understand, things don't get complicated, thinking only as we think. Whenever I made up my mind, I felt humiliation. What I thought was never good. It is very important to be humble and let the Lord do it. We must pray and the Lord does all the rest.
