Medjugorje "there is no peace where there is no prayer"

"Dear children! Today I invite you to live peace in your hearts and in your families, but there is no peace, children, where one does not pray and there is no love, there is no faith. Therefore, children, I invite you all to decide yourselves again today for conversion. I am close to you and I invite you all to come, children, in my arms to help you, but you do not want and so Satan tempts you; even in the smallest things, your faith fails; therefore, little children, pray and through prayer you will have blessing and peace. Thanks for answering my call. "

Live peace in your hearts and in your families

Peace is surely the greatest desire of every heart and every family. Yet we see that more and more families are in adversity and therefore are being destroyed, because they lack peace. Mary as mother explained to us how to live in peace. First, in prayer, we must draw close to God, who gives us peace; then, we open our hearts to Jesus like a flower in the sun; therefore, we open ourselves to him in the truth of confession so that he becomes our peace. In this month's message, Maria repeats that ...

There is no peace, children, where one does not pray

And this is because only God has the only true peace. He awaits us and wishes to give us the gift of peace. But in order for peace to be preserved, our hearts must remain pure to truly open up to Him, and at the same time, we must resist every temptation in the world. Very often, however, we think that the things of the world can give us peace. But Jesus said very clearly: "I give you my peace, because the world cannot give you peace". There is a fact that we should reflect on, namely the reason why the world does not accept prayer more forcefully as a path of peace. When God through Mary tells us that prayer is the only way to obtain and maintain peace, we should all take these words seriously. We must think with gratitude to Mary's presence among us, to her teachings and to the fact that she has already moved the hearts of many people to prayer. We must be very grateful for the hundreds of thousands of people who are praying and following Mary's intentions in the silence of their hearts. We are grateful for the many prayer groups who meet tirelessly week after week, month after month and who come together to pray for peace.

There is no love

Love is also a condition for peace and where there is no love there can be no peace. We have all proven that if we don't feel loved by someone we cannot be at peace with him. We cannot eat and drink with that person because we only feel tension and conflict. So love must be where we want peace to come. We still have the opportunity to make ourselves loved by God and to have peace with him and from that love we can draw the strength to love others and therefore to live in peace with them. If we look back on the Pope's letter of 8 December 1994, in which he invites women above all to become teachers of peace, we have found a way to understand that God loves us and to draw the strength to teach peace to others. And this must be done primarily with children in families. In this way we will be able to triumph over destruction and all the evil spirits of the world.

There is no faith

Having faith, another condition of love, means giving your heart, giving the gift of your heart. Only with love can the heart be given.

In many messages Our Lady tells us to open our hearts to God and to reserve him the first place in our life. God, who is love and peace, joy and life, wants to serve our lives. Trusting him and finding peace in him means having faith. Having faith also means being firm and man and his spirit cannot be firm except in God, because God created us for Himself

We cannot find trust and love as long as we do not totally rely on Him. Having faith means letting Him speak and guide us. And so, through trust in God and contact with him, we will feel love and thanks to this love we will be able to be at peace with those around us. And Maria repeats it to us once again ...
