Mary tells us that we live in a time of grace and God permits Her to love us. Saint Faustyna during one of her visions heard from Jesus that He gives great treasures of grace to the souls however not all the souls can draw from His generosity. Much depends on our cooperation with His grace.

Let’s remember those moments which we experienced in the presence of Mary in Medjugorje. Let’s be thankful. Gratitude for grace attracts new graces. Gratitude is not just politeness. It is a disposition of the heart which becomes like the Heart of Mary. At the end of each message She gives us thanks for having responded to Her call. So, today She thanked us for having accepted Her love. A grateful heart is a heart filled with love and joy. It holds no bitterness.

Love of Mary is stronger than evil. She desires for us to accept Her love and to love with Her love. Holiness is the effort to love God with all our heart and love our neighbor. 

Mary warns us that in this time of grace satan is strong and wants to entangle us with the cord of peacelessness and hatred. Peacelessness is truly like a cord which paralyses and suffocates us slowly. The devil knows well how to entangle us with negative thoughts and feelings therefore if we are not vigilant then we will be absorbed in rage, hatred and war. 

Everyday we should fight against satan’s temptation who tries to involve us into his logic about the world or to lead us towards selfishness and lie through wounds.

“Holiness isn’t something distant and something only for chosen ones. Holiness isn’t a luxury for a few persons. It is a simple duty of everyone”, – Mother Teresa used to say.

There is holiness in every decision, in every forgiveness, in every kind look or smile. Mary teaches us to fight for the holiness of every life by working on our hearts, to win others for Jesus with our personal holiness; to fight for the holiness by always beginning from ourselves and choosing the good even if it would be easier to ignore it.

On January, 21th  1991 She also said that we are responsible not only for human life but for every life on the planet: “Satan is strong and desires to destroy not only human life, but also nature and the planet on which you live. Therefore, dear children, pray that through prayer you can protect yourselves with God’s blessing of peace. God has sent me among you so that I may help you. If you so wish, grasp for the rosary. Even the rosary alone can work miracles in the world and in your lives. I bless you and I remain with you for as long as it is God’s will”.

Mary’s proven plan to protect ourselves from peacelessness and hatred is to live in accordance with Her five main messages:

Daily prayer of the Rosary which unites with God and Her. The personal prayer and the prayer of community. Don’t stay alone with peacelessness when it envelops us. Let’s give it to God. We may act with the short calls: “Jesus, I trust in You”, “Mary, help me”.

Mary often repeats to us: “Dear children, you don’t have peace without God”. When we distance from God then peacelessness and fear come.

Fasting frees us from addictions and peacelessness.

Holy Mass where Jesus comes Who is our peace and King of peace.

Reading of the Holy Scripture that is God’s truth which dispels every lie and peacelessness.

Confession releases us from the sins which are the source of peacelessness.

  It’s important to examine our heart, make an examination of our conscience and to forgive every day. If we can’t do it then let’s begin from the desire: “Lord, I beg You to help me to forgive, give me Your love”.

Mary is given to us to lead us. She is the One Who will crush satan’s head. Every day let us consecrate ourselves and our families to Her Immaculate Heart. Evil disappears where Mary comes. She said to us on March, 25th  2006:

“Courage, little children! I decided to lead you on the way of holiness. Renounce sin and set out on the way of salvation, the way which my Son has chosen…”.

We are safe with Mary.

Prayer

Mary, Our Mother, thank You for we can hear again that we are beloved ones and are guided by You. We plead You help us to let You love us as we are. We beg You to remind us that You love us. Help us not to forgot that we are not alone in our spiritual fight for peace. You are with us. We give to You our sisters and brothers throughout the world who haven’t come to know Jesus. Bring them to Him, towards peace which may be given only by Him.

Mary Who is Undoer of knots intercede for us for satan not to prevail over us.

We entrust to You every life on earth and everything that is entangled with the cord of peacelessness and hatred. Amen.
