Have Faith!
Researching material for a book I'm writing...I came across the messages of the Blessed Mother in Medjugorje.
They call her the Queen of Peace-the mother of recovery...who came on a white cloud begging humankind to turn back to God...to surrender their will...to practice their faith...before we destroy ourselves and one another.
My favorite message has always seemed- simply- profound...It goes something like this "God has a special role for you in his plan of salvation, but to understand that role...you must pray." Another urges "Peace in our hearts, peace in our homes and then we can spread peace throughout the world."
For those of us who have been to Medjugorje, and those who have not, but who still believe...the messages are meant to be lived by us...every single second of every single day. But sometimes, life gets in the way of our good intentions...in the way of our faith...in the way of our destiny--Life gets in the way, because we let it...we let go of God--and his saving strength-right when we need him the most.
My friend told me several months ago-that someone was questioning Medjugorje because of the challenges in my life......She laughed in disbelief...telling this person-that none of us can escape the cross...not even Jesus...but that we can right our wrongs...through his example, by picking up our crosses and carrying them with dignity and faith...while learning the lessons of true humility and unyielding surrender.
I can tell you--it's worth a try...because try as we may-life gets in the way...and sometimes it gets us down...but when we hold on-tightly to God-he always lifts us up...to exactly where we are supposed to be...and for me, that's exactly where I want to be.
