Our Lady in Medjugorje gives you advice on how to overcome suffering

March 25, 2013
Dear children! In this time of grace I invite you to take the cross of my beloved Son Jesus in your hands and to contemplate His passion and death. May your sufferings be united to His suffering and love will win, because, He who is Love, gave himself out of love to save each of you. Pray, pray, pray that love and peace begin to reign in your hearts. Thanks for answering my call.
Some passages from the Bible that can help us understand this message.
Luke 18,31: 34-XNUMX
Then he took the Twelve with him and said to them: “Behold, we are going to Jerusalem, and all that was written by the prophets about the Son of man will be accomplished. It will be handed over to the pagans, mocked, outraged, covered with spit and, after having scourged him, they will kill him and on the third day he will rise again ". But they understood none of this; that talk remained obscure to them and they did not understand what he had said.
Luke 9,23: 27-XNUMX
And then, to everyone, he said: “If anyone wants to come after me, deny himself, take up his cross every day and follow me. Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. What good is it for man to gain the whole world if he loses himself or ruins himself? Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and that of the Father and of the holy angels. Truly I say to you: there are some present here who will not die before having seen the kingdom of God ”.
Matthew 26,1-75
MAtteo 27,1-66
Then Jesus went with them to a farm called Gethsemane and said to the disciples: "Sit here while I go there to pray." And taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, he began to feel sadness and anguish. He said to them: “My soul is sad to the death; stay here and watch with me. " And advancing a little, he prostrated himself with his face on the ground and prayed saying: “My father, if possible, pass this cup to me! But not as I want, but as you want! ". Then he went back to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter: “So you have not been able to watch for one hour with me? Watch and pray, so as not to fall into temptation. The spirit is ready, but the flesh is weak. " And again, going away, he prayed saying: "My Father, if this cup cannot pass by me without me drinking it, your will be done". And when he came back he found his own sleeping, because their eyes had grown heavy. And leaving them, he went away again and prayed for the third time, repeating the same words. Then he approached the disciples and said to them: “Sleep now and rest! Behold, the hour has come when the Son of man will be delivered into the hand of sinners. 46 Get up, let's go; behold, he who betrays me draws near. "

While still speaking, here comes Judas, one of the Twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and sticks, sent by the high priests and the elders of the people. The traitor had given them this signal saying: “What I'm going to kiss is him; Arrest him! ". And immediately he went to Jesus and said: "Hello, Rabbi!". And kissed him. And Jesus said to him: "Friend, that is why you are here!". Then they came forward and put their hands on Jesus and arrested him. And behold, one of those who were with Jesus, put his hand to the sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest by cutting off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, "Put the sword back in its scabbard, because all who put their hand to the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot pray to my Father, who would immediately give me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the Scriptures, according to which this should happen, be fulfilled? ”. At that same moment Jesus said to the crowd: “You went out as against a brigand, with swords and sticks, to capture me. Every day I was sitting in the temple teaching, and you didn't arrest me. But all this happened because the scriptures of the prophets were fulfilled. " Then all the disciples, abandoning him, fled.
