Our Lady of Medjugorje "I invite you to discover God in prayer"

Message dated July 25, 1997
Dear children, today I invite you to respond to my invitation to prayer. I wish, dear children, that at this time you will find a corner for personal prayer. I wish to guide you towards prayer of the heart. Only in this way will you understand that your life is empty without prayer. You will discover the meaning of your life when you have discovered God in prayer. Therefore, little children, open the door of your hearts and you will understand that prayer is joy, without which you cannot live. Thanks for answering my call!
Some passages from the Bible that can help us understand this message.
Tobias 12,8-12
Good thing is prayer with fasting and almsgiving with justice. Better the little with justice than wealth with injustice. It is better to give alms than to put aside gold. Begging saves from death and purifies from all sin. Those who give alms will enjoy long life. Those who commit sin and injustice are enemies of their lives. I want to show you the whole truth, without hiding anything: I have already taught you that it is good to hide the king's secret, while it is glorious to reveal the works of God. Know therefore that, when you and Sara were in prayer, I would present the witness of your prayer before the glory of the Lord. So even when you buried the dead.
Proverbs 15,25-33
The Lord tears down the house of the proud and makes the widow's boundaries firm. Evil thoughts are abominable to the Lord, but benevolent words are appreciated. Whoever is greedy for dishonest earnings upsets his home; but whoever detests gifts will live. The mind of the righteous meditates before answering, the mouth of the wicked expresses wickedness. The Lord is far from the wicked, but he listens to the prayers of the righteous. A luminous look gladdens the heart; happy news revives the bones. The ear that listens to a salutary rebuke will have its home in the midst of the wise. Whoever refuses the correction despises himself, who listens to the rebuke acquires sense. Fear of God is a school of wisdom, before glory there is humility.
