The following is Our Lady of Medjugorje's December 25, 2011 Monthly Message : “Dear children! Also today, in my arms I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for Him to give you His peace. Pray, little children, and witness so that in every heart, not human but God's peace may prevail, which no one can destroy. It is that peace in the heart which God gives to those whom He loves. By your baptism you are all, in a special way called and loved, therefore witness and pray that you may be my extended hands to this world which yearns for God and peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Significant that the message mentions peace four times - peace can only come through prayer and reconciliation with God the Father. Jesus, Prince of Peace hear our prayer.
It is also so significant that Mary suggests human peace is not enough, only God's peace will do. For instance that you can't bring peace at the point of a gun. :shock:
Jacov also receives a message on Christmas: At the last daily apparition to Jakov Colo in 1998, Our Lady told him that from then on he would have one apparition a year, every December 25th, on Christmas Day. This Christmas, Jakov's apparition began at 3:30 pm and lasted 11 minutes. Our Lady delivered the following message: "Dear children! Today, in a special way, I desire to take you to and give you over to my Son. Little children, open your hearts and permit Jesus to be born in you, because only in this way, little children, you yourselves will be able to experience your new birth and set out with Jesus in your hearts towards the way of salvation. Thank you for having responded to my call."
'There was no room for them in the Inn' - how many hearts reject the Saviour of the World Our Lady invites us to throw our hearts wide open to invite the Saviour in & to be born anew in us; Our hearts must be purified and undivided for the Saviour to reside intimately there; Let Him rest in the 'manger of our hearts' and we can contemplate the mystery of His presence there; May His Light might shine in and through us this Advent and for all eternity
Ivan received a message for all tonight, Dec. 30. Here is a synopsis: On a very cold evening tonight, December 30, 2011, thousands gathered on top of Apparition Mountain for Our Lady’s apparition to Ivan. The following translation of the message is an initial translation from the Italian to English, and is the substance of the message: “Dear children, the Mother blesses you with joy. Be carriers of my messages in this tired world. Welcome my messages with responsibility. Dear children, pray together with me for the plans that must be realized. Especially tonight, I call you to pray for unity of the Church and my priests. Dear children, pray, pray, pray. The Mother prays with you and intercedes before Her Son for each one of you. Thank you also today for having responded to my call, and for accepting my messages, and living my messages.” Our Lady prayed for a while over everyone, and blessed them with Her Special Motherly Blessing. Our Lady blessed the religious articles that were brought to be blessed. Then Our Lady prayed especially for the sick present. Then Ivan recommended all our needs, and our intentions. In a special way, Ivan recommended all the sick. Then Our Lady extended Her hands and prayed over everyone. She then left in the illuminated sign of the cross, saying, “Go in peace, my dear children.”
This is significant: "...pray together with me for the plans that must be realized." sometimes I wish she would be more specific though, it leaves us guessing "which" plans...? Pray Pray Pray!
