Texts for Meditation
Jesus said to his disciples: "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross,
and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake
and that of the gospel will save it. What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his
life? (Mk 8,34-38)
"Dear children! Today I am happy, even if in my heart there is still a little sadness for all those who
have started on this path and then have left it. My presence here is to take you on a new path, the
path to salvation. This is why I call you, day after day to conversion. But if you do not pray, you
cannot say that you are on the way to being converted. I pray for you and I intercede to God for peace;
first peace in your hearts and also peace around you, so that God may be your peace. Thank you for
having responded to my call." (Message, June 25, 1992)
Christian prayer is a covenant relationship between God and man in Christ. It is the action of God and
of man, springing forth from both the Holy Spirit and ourselves, wholly directed to the Father, in union
with the human will of the Son of God made man. (CCC: 2564)
4. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin
Concluding prayer: Our lives, O Lord, are in Your hands. You alone know what we need to be saved. Thank You for teaching us this here in Medjugorje for 20 years through Your Mother, who came to
lead us on the way of salvation. Bless and strengthen all those who have started to walk on the way
of conversion and prayer here in Medjugorje. Strengthen their faith, their hope and their charity and
never let them betray their covenant with You. Amen.
