Our Lady in Medjugorje: We must pray in families and read the Bible

In this time of January, after Christmas, it can be said that every message of Our Lady spoke of Satan: pay attention to Satan, Satan is strong, he is angry, he wants to destroy my plans ...

And he asked for prayer for all who are tempted. Each of us is tempted, but above all the people responsible for these events. Then we need to pray a lot.

Fifteen days ago he said: "Pray that all the trials that come from Satan end for the glory of the Lord." He also said that Satan can be more easily disarmed with ardent prayer and humble love. These are the weapons with which Satan can be disarmed without difficulty. There is no need to be afraid. Then pray and have a humble love, as Our Lady prayed and loved.

Last Thursday (February 14) he said: "I am sad because there are still many who do not follow this path, even in the Parish."

And he said: "We must pray in families and we must read the Bible." I have already said a few times that we don't know many messages where Our Lady says: "You must". So he said to Marija: "You must." Every message in the apparitions is always an invitation: "if you want". But at this moment he said: "it must be."

I think he also wanted to prepare us a little for Lent.

For example, if a mother takes a three-year-old boy by the hand to teach him to walk, one fine moment he leaves his hand and says: "You have to go your own way ...". It is not an imperative. He has grown up and then says: "You must now, because you can."

This can be said because little Jelena, who has the inner locution, said of the difference between speaking of the Madonna and speaking of the devil (at times she heard and also had tests with Satan). Jelena said that Our Lady never says "we should" and does not wait nervously for what will happen. It offers, invites, leaves free. Satan, on the other hand, when proposing something or seeking, is nervous, does not wait, does not have time: he wants everything immediately, he is impatient.

And then I think that if Our Lady says "we must", we really must! Tonight we will see what Our Lady will say. There is something or a message for us every day ...

Look, the general message is not peace, it is the presence of the Madonna.

If she didn't say anything, if for example she only appeared for a second, it's the general message: "I'm with you". And from this presence everything receives a special force.

* In January Our Lady gave this message through Vicka (January 14, 1985): «Dear my children. Satan is so powerful that he wants with all his strength to hinder my plans started with you. Pray, just pray and don't stop even for a moment. I will pray to my Son for all the plans I have started to be fulfilled. Be patient and persevering in prayers and do not allow Satan to discourage you. He acts strongly in the world. Be careful ».
