I wish you all the best, for you and for me. However, in this season of Easter, everyone should devote some time, a few hours, to a deep meditation on what Easter is and that means: Christ died for our sins. This is how we will understand the value of the Cross. Yet that is to understand that the Lord Jesus, who died for our sins, was buried and resurrected, by the grace of God, by the will of God, is alive! And that is the transition, Passover - the transition of the Son of God among us. In the communion we have with Him, in prayer and contemplation, we must make the same transition with Him: enter into the death of sin, and rise again, and enter a new life of conversion and grace.
Like Peter and John, let us run to the empty tomb full of faith, to be assured in Christ's love for us, to be assured in God's faithfulness to the eternal covenant made with the blood of Christ! Like faithful women, let's announce the good news of the resurrection to the whole world! As children of the resurrection, let us spread hope, joy and love in this world! May the Risen One endow us all with his peace!

Both in Lourdes and Fatima the events first ceased and than Church had its decision about that. Its final decision. Sooner or later that will take place here as well, but in this case we let Mother of God with freedom of choice...I think that Medjugorje can continue well on their journey, with full trust that Church, Mother and Teacher, in this case, is going to continue to monitor their journey.
