Since the 19th century this world welcomed, as though it is good news, what people call the death of God. Man, finally free, has become his own god. He can now enter on the way of progress with no inhibitions. According to those who rely completely on science, man is going to be able to resolve by himself all his problems, including the problem of war and even the problem of death. It is thought that there will be a scientific means found to overcome this final disaster which overtakes every human life. In this triumphalistic spirit the world has calmly given itself over to sin, to the most animalistic desires of the human person, which become the religion and morality of the world. From this has come the worst of slaveries, the worst of violence and the worst of despair. Mary, the Mother of God and Our Mother has been appearing at Medjugorje since June 24, 1981 until this day, Oct 2, 2019 to warn us this calm abandonment to sin has placed the world in a state of self-destruction, with no faith and no moral law, and therefore with neither order nor meaning in life, and this is occurring among Christians…Self-destruction because of sin is what Mary has come to warn the world of. This is precisely the message of the ten secrets of Medjugorje which have not yet been disclosed but are destined to be so.
The message, which started again June 24th of 1981 and continues to this day is a message of faith, prayer, fasting, conversion, and peace.
The message of the reported apparitions at Medjugorje is one of faith in God,
The official atheism of Communism in the East tried to eliminate God, and the practical atheistic materialism of the West has done this more thoroughly. God exists, he loves us, but he has created us free and will do nothing for us without us. This is the very law of creation, in fact it is the law of love. God offers Himself to us through His Son Jesus Christ. God waits for our response, our yes or no. We give our yes through Faith in which we give ourselves unconditionally to the Father through Jesus; we believe all that He revealed that is handed down through the Catholic faith as it is summarized in the Catechism and we do our best to live what he revealed. If we don’t live it then we must not have believed it in the first place. The Blessed Mother says specifically in the messages that all religions are not equal and so there’s no sense of a false ecumenism. Jesus Christ is the one mediator to the Father. Our Lady has also given in the Medjugorje message a promise to leave a permanent visible sign for the “unbelievers”, something people can come and see, which will assist them in accepting the authenticity of Medjugorje.
At Medjugorje Our Lady is asking for a clearly greater quality and quantity of prayer, what she calls prayer of the heart, a greater interior prayer, and with this call of greater quality of prayer there’s also very clearly a call for more generosity in prayer.
Prayer is essential to the Message of Medjugorje because it is in prayer that we communicate with God, that our life derives its energy and is shared with God. Without prayer so many lives are distracted and dispersed for nothing because they are restricted to human solutions alone. Prayer brings us back to the very source of our existence and the goal of our life – God.
At Medjugorje, Mary has called for the fifteen decade rosary daily, and if one is quick to dismiss this as just impossible in the present world, it might be good to keep in mind that John Paul the Second got fifteen decades in each day and because he did, was inspired to do the same and therefor, Pope Francis also gets in his fifteen decades, so, they have rather packed schedules, rather significant calendars, and yet they get their prayers and so perhaps it’s not as impossible of a request as one might think at first glance.
Our Lady calls for Mass to be the “gift of the day” for the faithful.
