''Aren’t all these years of Mary’s presence the revelation of that promise of Jesus. Mary is here, we need her always, that is why she has been coming, appearing, for her heart hurts for her children.

Homily of Archbishop Henryk Hoser, the Apostolic Visitor for the parish of Medjugorje, given on August 4, 2020

But most important is our personal prayer: from heart to heart. If that heart is not pure, the dirtiness that Jesus is talking about should be removed from it. So much, even excessively, we care about the cleanliness of the body: baths, showers, soaps and shampoos, creams and lotions. But they do not purify the heart. There is a way: it is the sacrament of healing, it is called the sacrament of reconciliation and peace. It is the sacrament of forgiveness of sins and strengthening for a better way of life. 

Msgr. Tomo Vukšić: Jesus is saying to us tonight: „Take courage! It is I! Do not be afraid!“

We also know that to us, who are His disciples in these days, he is saying: „Take courage! It is I! Do not be afraid!“ (Mt 14,27) We thank Him for that and let us pray that God would always have His hand of help extended over each one of us, through Christ our Lord.'' (PHOTO)
