“Dear children! With joy I am calling all of you, little children, who have responded to my call: be joy and peace. Witness with your lives Heaven, which I am bringing to you. It is time,  little children,  that you be a reflection of my love for all those who do not love and whose hearts hatred has conquered. Do not forget: I am with you and intercede for all of you before my Son Jesus, that He may give you His peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Fr. Goran Azinović na Križevcu: We should never renounce the Cross

“Blessed are we for having the cross and the final battle in the world shall be against the cross. When the cross is removed, then Jesus is lost, and while the cross stands upright, Christ is winning and your task is never to be ashamed of the cross”, said Fr. Goran and he gave the examples of Cardinal Stefan Wiszynski and Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac, and many other bishops from the communist countries who stood against the communism regime and did not want to renounce the cross at all.

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.
