Renew Prayer Before the Crucifix

Our Lady Queen of Peace of Medjugorje asks us to renew prayer before the Crucifix and says to take the graces coming from the Crucifix and to reflect on Jesus’ passion so that our lives will be in balance with Jesus.

February 20, 1986

“…renew prayer before the Crucifix. I am giving you special graces and Jesus is giving you special gifts from the Crucifix. Take them and live! Reflect on Jesus’ passion and in your life be united with Jesus.”
 

Some might think, “The passion is sad. I want joy. I can be enthusiastic about the resurrection and God will fill me with graces now.” Our Lady indicates that while enthusiasm is good, resurrection is for us later. Our Lady is saying that for this moment (this life), She wants us to be happy and to have joy, but for this to be a reality, we have to learn to carry our crosses and accept our trials. Our Lady of Medjugorje said on April 21, 1984:
 

“…yearn of Jesus because in His Resurrection, He wants to fill you with graces. Be enthusiastic about the Resurrection. All of us in Heaven are happy but we seek the joy of your hearts. My Son’s gift and mine, at this moment is this: you will be comforted in your trials, they will be easier for you because we will be close to you…”
 

This moment is our life here on earth, and even in the midst of the most extreme crosses, there can be joy.

In the Love of Our Lady,
