The vast mountain side of Cross Mountain in Medjugorje, a special place where Our Lady has said She prays to Her Son Jesus to forgive the world its many sins. The Cross dominates the village of Medjugorje, seen from every part of the village, as a constant reminder of Jesus Who has given Himself completely out of love.

In striving to follow Our Lady’s words given through Medjugorje visionary Ivan on June 15, 2018, how can the Eucharist be “in” your family? The Eucharist is the pinnacle gift of Love, God, Who gives Himself to us completely. Our Lady has shown much about this Love already in Her messages, and a Friend of Medjugorje explains more:

“…Our Lady tells us to die out of love as Jesus did. She wants us to let our selfishness, wants, and desires die, to be only love, and to give completely everything through love of God. She is not necessarily referring to material things or money as this may be easy, but rather to giving oneself. This is the highest degree of love. Our Lady gave a beautiful and special message after praying in Hebrew over the crowd in Alabama.*

November 30, 1988

“I wish that all your life be love, only love. Everything that you do, do it with love. In every little thing, see Jesus and His example. You also do as Jesus did. He died out of love for you. You also offer all you do with love to God, even the smallest little things of everyday life.”¹

To have the Eucharist “in” your family, have love in the smallest things. By helping out without being told, by making someone else’s burden easier, by fulfilling daily chores and work with peace. Then, others will see in your family, God Who has given Himself completely out of love. Others will see the Eucharist “in” your family.

* In 1988, Medjugorje visionary Marija came to the home of the founder of Caritas and his wife, and Our Lady appeared every day in their home. This message of November 30, 1988, given in the Bedroom of Apparitions, is considered by many to be their most favorite message ever given by Our Lady in Her Medjugorje apparitions.
