Medjugorje: Our Lady's messages on God's graces, how to ask and receive

Message dated January 25, 1984
Tonight I wish to teach you to meditate on love. First of all, reconcile yourself with everyone by thinking about the people with whom you have relationship difficulties and forgive them: then in front of the group you recognize these situations and ask God for the grace of forgiveness. In this way, after you have opened and "cleaned" your heart, everything you ask the Lord will be given to you. In particular, ask him for the spiritual gifts that are necessary for your love to be complete.

«Pray. I wish to purify your hearts in prayer. Prayer is indispensable because God gives you his graces when you pray ».

The second millennium of my birth will be celebrated on August XNUMXth. For that day God allows me to give you special graces and to give the world a special blessing. I ask you to prepare intensely with three days to devote exclusively to me. In those days you don't work. Take your rosary crown and pray. Fast on bread and water. During all these centuries I have dedicated myself completely to you: is it too much if I ask you now to dedicate at least three days to me?

You can have as many graces as you want: it depends on you. You can receive divine love when and how much you want: it depends on you.

Dear children, no, you do not know how many graces God gives you. You do not wish to progress in these days, in which the Holy Spirit works in a particular way. Your hearts are turned to earthly things, and these hold you back. Turn your hearts to prayer and ask for the Holy Spirit to pour out on you! Thanks for answering my call!

I cannot speak to you tonight because your hearts are closed. In fact, you did not do what I told you. And as long as you remain still I cannot tell you anything else and I cannot grant you graces.

Dear children, in these days (Novena for the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross) I want to invite you to place the Cross at the center of everything. In particular, pray before the Cross, from which great graces come. During these days, make a special consecration to the Cross in your homes. Promise not to offend Jesus and the Cross and not to injure him. Thank you for having responded to my call!

Message dated October 3, 1985
Dear children, I wish to invite you to thank God for all the graces He has given you. Give thanks to God for all the fruits, and give him glory. Dear children, learn to be grateful in small things, and in this way you will be able to give thanks also for great things. Thank you for having responded to my call!

Dear children, this parish that I have chosen is a special parish, which stands out from the others. I give big thanks to all those who pray with the heart. Dear children, I give the messages first to the parishioners, then to all the others. It is up to you to receive the messages first, and then to others. You will be responsible for it before me and before my Son Jesus.

Dear children, the second message for the days of Lent is this: renew the prayer before the cross. Dear children, I am giving you special graces, and Jesus from the Cross gives you particular gifts. Welcome them and live them! Meditate on the passion of Jesus, and join Jesus in life. Thanks for answering my call!

Message dated February 22, 1986
Dear children, know that you will be able to accept divine love only if you understand that in the crosses God offers you his graces and his love. God puts his graces at your disposal. You can get as many as you like, it's up to you. So pray, pray, pray!

Dear children, I invite you to live the Holy Mass. Many of you have experienced its beauty, but it is also those who do not like to come. I have chosen you, dear children, and Jesus gives you his graces in the Holy Mass. Therefore live the Holy Mass consciously and may your coming be full of joy. Come with love and welcome the Holy Mass within you. Thank you for having responded to my call!

Dear children, in these days my Lord has allowed me to obtain many graces for you. For this, dear children, I wish to invite you again to pray. Pray continuously, so I will give you the joy that the Lord gives to me. With these graces, dear children, I want your sufferings to become joy. I am your Mom and I want to help you. Thank you for having responded to my call!

Many sick, many in need have begun to pray for their own healing here in Medjugorje. But when they returned home they soon gave up prayer, thus losing the possibility of receiving the grace they await.

Message dated October 2, 1986
Dear children, also today I invite you to pray. You, dear children, are unable to understand how valuable prayer is until you say to yourself: Now is the time to pray. Now nothing else matters to me. Now no person is important to me except God. Dear children, devote yourselves to prayer with particular love, so God can reward you with his graces. Thank you for having responded to my call!

Dear children, today too I thank the Lord for all he is doing, especially for the gift of being able to be with you today too. Dear children, these are the days when the Father offers special graces to all those who open their hearts to him. I bless you and I want you too, dear children, to know the graces and make everything available to God, so that He may be glorified through you. My heart follows your steps closely. Thank you for having responded to my call!
