Medjugorje: earthly goods and how to manage them according to the advice of Our Lady

March 25, 1996
Dear children! I invite you to decide again to love God above all else. In this time when, due to the consumerist spirit, you forget what it means to love and appreciate true values, I invite you again, children, to put God first in your life. May Satan not attract you with material things but, little children, decide for God who is freedom and love. Choose the life and not the death of the soul. Children, in this time when you meditate on the passion and death of Jesus, I invite you to decide for the life that flourished with the resurrection and that your life today is renewed through the conversion that will lead you to eternal life. Thanks for answering my call!
Some passages from the Bible that can help us understand this message.
Genesis 3,1-24
The snake was the most cunning of all the wild beasts made by the Lord God. He said to the woman: "Is it true that God said: You must not eat of any tree in the garden?". The woman replied to the snake: "Of the fruits of the trees in the garden we can eat, but of the fruit of the tree that stands in the middle of the garden God said: You must not eat and touch it, otherwise you will die." But the snake said to the woman: “You will not die at all! Indeed, God knows that when you eat them, your eyes would open and you would become like God, knowing the good and the bad ". Then the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, pleasing to the eye and desirable to acquire wisdom; she took some fruit and ate it, then also gave it to her husband, who was with her, and he also ate it. Then both of them opened their eyes and realized they were naked; they braided fig leaves and made themselves belts. Then they heard the Lord God walking in the garden in the breeze of the day and the man and his wife hid from the Lord God in the middle of the trees in the garden. But the Lord God called the man and said to him, "Where are you?". He replied: "I heard your step in the garden: I was afraid, because I am naked, and I hid myself." He went on: “Who let you know you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat? ". The man replied: "The woman you placed beside me gave me a tree and I ate it." The Lord God said to the woman, "What have you done?". The woman replied: "The snake has deceived me and I have eaten."

Then the Lord God said to the serpent: “Since you have done this, be you cursed more than all the cattle and more than all the wild beasts; on your belly you will walk and dust you will eat for all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, between your lineage and her lineage: this will crush your head and you will undermine her heel ". To the woman she said: “I will multiply your pains and your pregnancies, with pain you will give birth to children. Your instinct will be towards your husband, but he will dominate you. " To the man he said: “For you have listened to your wife's voice and have eaten from the tree, of which I had commanded you: You must not eat from it, damn the ground because of you! With pain you will draw food for all the days of your life. Thorns and thistles will produce for you and you will eat the field grass. With the sweat of your face you will eat bread; until you return to the earth, because you were taken from it: dust you are and to dust you will return! ". The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living things. The Lord God made man's robes of skins and dressed them. The Lord God then said: “Behold man has become like one of us, for the knowledge of good and evil. Now, let him no longer stretch out his hand and do not even take the tree of life, eat it and always live! ". The Lord God chased him from the garden of Eden, to work the soil from where it was taken. He drove the man away and placed the cherubim and the flame of the dazzling sword to the east of the garden of Eden, to guard the way to the tree of life.
Tobias 6,10-19
They had entered the Media and were already close to Ecbatana, 11 when Raffaele said to the boy: "Brother Tobia!". He replied, "Here I am." He went on: “We have to stay with Raguele tonight, who is your relative. He has a daughter called Sara and no other son or daughter other than Sara. You, like your closest relative, have the right to marry her more than any other man and to inherit her father's possessions. She is a serious, courageous, very pretty girl and her father is a good person. " And he added: “You have the right to marry her. Listen to me, brother; I will talk to the father about the girl tonight, because she will keep her as your fiancée. When we get back to Rage, we'll have the wedding. I know that Raguel will not be able to refuse it to you or promise it to others; he would incur death according to the prescription of the law of Moses, since he knows that before any other it is up to you to have his daughter. So listen to me, brother. Tonight we will talk about the girl and ask for her hand. On our return from Rage we will take it and take it with us to your home. " Then Tobias replied to Raffaele: “Brother Azaria, I have heard that she has already been given as a wife to seven men and they died in the wedding room the same night they were to join her. I also heard that a demon kills husbands. This is why I'm afraid: the devil is jealous of her, she doesn't hurt her, but if someone wants to approach her, he kills him. I am the only son of my father. I am afraid of dying and of leading the life of my father and mother to the grave out of the anguish of my loss. They don't have another child who can bury them. " But the one said to him: “Have you perhaps forgotten the warnings of your father, who recommended you to marry a woman of your family? Listen to me therefore, brother: do not worry about this devil and marry her. I am sure that you will be married this evening. However, when you enter the bridal chamber, take the heart and liver of the fish and put a little on the incense embers. The smell will spread, the devil will have to smell it and run away and will no longer appear around her. Then, before joining with it, both of you get up to pray. Beseech the Lord of heaven for his grace and his salvation to come upon you. Fear not: it has been destined for you from eternity. You will be the one to save it. She will follow you and I think that from her you will have children who will be for you like brothers. Don't be worried. " When Tobia heard the words of Raffaele and learned that Sara was his blood relative of the lineage of his father's family, he loved him to the point that he could no longer divert his heart from her.
