“Dear children, great are the works that the Heavenly Father has done in me, as He does in all those who love Him tenderly and who faithfully and devoutly serve Him. My children, the Heavenly Father loves you, and it is through His love that I am here with you. He is speaking to you. Why do you not desire to see the signs? Everything is easier alongside Him. Also pain lived with Him is easier because faith exists. Faith helps in the pain, and pain without faith leads to despair. Pain lived and offered to God raises up. Did my Son not redeem the world through His painful sacrifice? As His mother I was with Him in the pain and suffering, as I am with all of you. My children, I am with you in life, in suffering, in pain, in joy and in love. Therefore, have hope. It is hope that makes you comprehend that life is there. My children, I am speaking to you, my voice is speaking to your soul, my heart is speaking to your heart. Oh, apostles of my love, how much my motherly heart loves you. How many things I desire to teach you. How my motherly heart desires that you be complete, and you can be complete only when your soul, body and love are united within you. I implore you as my children, pray much for the Church and her servants - your shepherds; that the Church may be such as my Son desires - clear as spring water and full of love. Thank you.”
Hi David We have something in common the Queen of Peace. I know you love the church as the bride of Christ so do I. I know you pray for her so do I. Can I ask you a sincere question? On the 25th Feb the commandments were mentioned now on the 2nd of March clear as spring water full of love. To the confusion engulfing the church with opposing factions at civil war (today my archbishop is featured on life site news insulting other cardinals) the water of truth is clouded the constant teaching always and ever taught is fudged. Can you honestly say the light is shining - to the ordinary man on the streets of the world is truth presented?Is sin named and the man called to repentance? In the midst of this great confusion where oh where are the words that lead to eternal life ? The cardinal from Holland is featured on 1peter 5 yes I know it can be a little or lot testy but his testimony is beautiful and heartfelt. His words are filled with the spirit of God and I am deeply effected by his faithful words. Are you? I do not believe our holy father is wicked etc but I pray he may find the courage to speak without confusion! When I read the message from Medjugorje I do not need to. Grab a thesaurus or dictionary. I pray we get the same clarity from the holy father. Is there a question here...? Is there a problem in Rome or are the everyday rosary praying frequent confessor commandment believing man/women or child deluded? Or in other words what was true in the first 20 centuries of church history true today in the 21st.
Thank you, Ignacio, for your comments. Let me try to respond to the points you are making as best I can. Yes, Our Lady says, "pray much for the Church and her servants - your shepherds; that the Church may be such as my Son desires - clear as spring water and full of love". And we all know that the Church is not yet as Jesus desires! But Our Lady asks us to pray for that purpose. The Church has been struggling for a long time, certainly throughout the last century. Man is rebellious and has reaped the rewards of that rebellion through the horrors of two world wars and the spread of communism. But God comes to our aid in times of need. Jesus IS renewing His Church but we are impatient and we think we know how to do it quickly! But no, God is patient and we have to learn from and imitate Him. The renewal could be said to have begun with the second Vatican Council. Many now portray that Council negatively but they are mistaken. As Our Lady told Conchita in Garabandal about the Council, 'it will be a success'. But the devil has been attacking the Church's renewal viciously, particularly with regard to the Council so we can see now how badly it has been implemented in many cases but all the Popes have rightly spoken positively about the work of the Council and that will continue. Medjugorje is, of course, part of God's plan of renewal but we have to be patient and allow God to work. I would suggest you avoid reading too many of websites like the two you mention because, ultimately, they will undermine your faith. Because they are constantly presenting things in a negative way and I doubt very much that the owners believe in Garabandal or Medjugorje. Focus on Jesus and Mary, pray much and trust in Them for the renewal of the Church which will come. Prayer is the answer to all problems.
I implore you as my children, pray much for the Church and her servants - your shepherds; that the Church may be such as my Son desires - clear as spring water and full of love. I implore you is the same as I beg you! I beg you!! Imagine the mother begging us to pray much for the Church and her servants -- Why? Because the Church is not as clear as spring water and is not full of love -- the Church must be purified of the dross that obscures the light of the gospel. The water is contaminated and needs purification --- Purification is painful - we are headed for painful times in the Church and in the world -- this is a time of trial for the Church and a time of trial for the world --
