Medjugorje Forum

I'd like to ask the prayers of the people here and anyone else you can get to pray. I've been asked to meet with someone on June 2nd which might have the potential to really and positively influence, help and support people in various ways, who've suffered in specific ways from one of the 'crises.'

"God turns to the good all for those seeking to love - Him", says Paul.

You know at times you wonder about life, why this or that happens and what the reason for it could possibly be, what possible good could ever come of it. I know we are not supposed to ask and just 'accept God's will'. I don't have that kind of patience though. I analyse everything.

I'd like to be open to meeting this man, indeed I am, and have now accepted. But part of me wants to run cancel the meeting and forget it too. I found out we were at school together too. Coincidence. Providence ? Dunno.

So many are on such steep learning curves and trying to find ways through the chaos - maze. I'd suggested in the past that there might be a coming together, even over a tea/coffee, and rather than all the speculation, mis trust, mis understanding etc; even/often ending up people near at each other's throats. That there is a real coming together, as one, listening, speaking and HEARing each other - and learning, maybe even rebuilding.

I have no expectations really. I am wary cause of past experience. But I'd like to give it a shot - maybe put one or two ideas, I'd already suggested through mail, that might then be put to the people too - and that all come together and decide a way forward in this particular matter.

Anyway, I'd really appreciate any and all prayer for this endeavour and if possible a Mass.

Might be another small pear from the 'fruit' tree of Peace that is Medjugorje


Thanks all

and

God bless us all.

Our father, Hail Mary and Glory Be....

Now I REALLY need some prayer. I went along to meet. Was feeling sick at the thought but made myself go. Sat in the chapel for half hour before asking for guidance. Then went into the place. "Out to lunch..... " I sat for a while and then wanted to vomit so left. Time and time again these mindless morons. And I am a bigger moron for leaving myself vulnerable to them. I am disgusted. I am livid as hell. I am seriously wondering about any future with this ''Church'. I even find myself wondering about this Mary at Medjogrje who repeatedly asks we pray for the shepherds as we need them. Why not ask prayer for those the 'shepherds' - wolves in sheep's clothing would destroy. I swear - some times I wonder if it's not the 'angel of light' spoken of in the Scriptures.

Keeping us forever spiritual infants, in bondage to 'clerics' and their 'sacraments'.

I can imagine the thinking it's the devil - some diabolic attack. Maybe. Or maybe I am just finally getting wise to the crap these people feed us.

Sorry, I need a rant. It's this or pluck a live chicken till it bleeds to death.

Yes I would appreciate prayer. I am tempted to write the 'monsignor' asking if he enjoyed his lunch, making his pot belly even fatter. And then going right for his jugular. But I will try and hold my tongue for now.

If this were a one, or even 'two off, I'd see through and let it go. But this has been consistent. They cannot, will not listen and learn.

God bless us all.

Hail Mary,
full of grace,
the LORD is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
JESUS.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

The prayer works. I was tired and a slightly vulnerable going to this today. Not really 'my best'. I had an email waiting me when I got back from one of the priests. He's a good guy and am arranging another time. The other one is a good guy too. Just such a very steep learning curve for all at times and wide open to misunderstandings and trust.

I read Paul, "Faith, Hope and Charity...... " To hold the faith, keep hope, hoping and let Charity take its course. I won't give up or look back. Just need to get over this last hurdle.

Sorry for the ranty. Better that than murdering the poor chicken.

Sorry Mother Mary for 'wondering' but You know all to well about all of it. If it weren't for You - I'd be the plucked chicken

Thanks folks.


God bless us all.

keeping you and all concerned in my prayers. I caught your post{your little "rant"} when you just posted it and put you and all concerned in a 911 prayer. Yes, prayer works!

Peace+love to you--Beloved

It's worked out OK Beloved. Trust when gone can be hard to get back. But to rebuild, recover and heal, it's vital we reclaim. I just had an email again which put a new spin on things and will go again next week. The oul divil knew too well how sensitive I was going today and when it seemed like a no show I read all sorts into it which was not the case.

Mary tells us constantly he wants to destroy families - all kinds of relationships - not least perhaps the family that is Church - the Body of Christ, and what better way to undermine than gnawing away at trust.

Didn't work. God is good.

Thanks again for your prayers.

Praying for a good meeting and a good resolution and peace for you.

Hail Mary ...
St. Pio, pray for them.
Our Lady of Good Remedy, pray for them.
St. Joseph, pray for them.

Thank you. I was reading one of anthencarp's prayers about peace in the other thread. I realised that myself. I need to have faith in God and and not let myself be shaken. I learned something. Reminds me of Teresa of Avila - "Let nothing disturb thee........ all things are passing."

I am in England at the moment for a few days. I was just at Mass tonight. Lovely. Not that many there but those who were there were really there in every way. Such devotion and some would try and have the belief that faith is dying.

Then at end of Mass I lifted a little booklet and opened it. The first page said, "Don't ever tire of praying for priests, especially in these moments in which all the forces of darkness seem to have been unleashed in the world, preaching against the sacred ministers of the Lord. Pray that all priests may remain faithful, that they may be holy, that they may be nothing more and nothing less than 'Alter Christus". Accompany the priests and deacons of the world with prayer."

Thought, OK Mother Mary, message received. She gives excellent advice. I was speaking to someone afterwards about confession. I could not go near confessionals for a long time. Not that I could not confess. But since Medjugorje I have been going again more regularly and She advises monthly, so we were talking about that - the spiritual good of it. Something I have loved about Medjugorje. Going to Mass, into any chapel at any time, praying the rosary, going to confession etc. You want to go, to do - to live these sacraments. They really do become meaningful and life giving again. And I was speaking to a head teacher of a school who is thinking of going. I told her she will get something there - something in her heart she will bring back to her life and the life of her school. Even I don't get to Medjugorje again. I am realising that by really trying to make an effort - live Her spiritual wisdom - ponder all in the heart' - then we maybe do regain life, renew spiritual life in our selves, our homes, our parishes - in whatever little ways. Maybe this is what She wants. I believe so.

I just had a moment the other day. A bit overwhelmed, and as our good friends in the US say, "freaked out." But it passed and had a positive outcome.

Thanks again all. God bless us all.

you are still in my prayers.

Hail Mary............Amen

Gullytale you are in my prayers too. Always remember that God loves you and you don't have to deal with problems on your own. He will take the weight if you ask and let him.

Thanks AW I am OK, just been a bit frustrated with something of late, I could not put my finger on.

I got this lovely photo of the young Maria Gabriella from the nuns last week. She has this lovely face with serene piercing eyes. Very calming and ask her as a good sister to keep those prayers going, fully knowing she does. Those eyes confirm it.

Sat very early during the night, early morning and put pen to paper. People keep telling me to write. So I went with the flow and have asked others here a at home to read through what I have written, in draft form for now, and something I might put to a wider audience in a not too distant future.

The act of writing, any form of self expression is cathartic in itself. I hope you are all well too

God is good.

Though he may not think the same about me. Two young children here carrying on like wild monkeys in a cage and I am about to eat them.

God bless us all.

Sweet Mother Mary - Morning Star - guide us safely home.


Thanks to you all again for all prayer. I am praying for all here too and all intentions, families and friends
