Texts for Meditation
Jesus said to his disciples: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone
who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the
world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him
will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has
not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the verdict, that the light came into the
world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does
wicked things hates the light and does not come towards the light, so that his works might not be
exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as
done in God." (Jn 3,16-21)
"Dear children! Today, on this great day, which you have given to me, I desire to bless all of you and
to say: these days while I am with you are days of grace. I desire to teach you and help you to walk
the way of holiness. There are many people who do not desire to understand my messages and to
accept with seriousness what I am saying. But you I therefore call and ask that by your lives and by
your daily living you witness my presence. If you pray, God will help you to discover the true reason
for my coming. Therefore, little children, pray and read the Sacred Scriptures so that through my
coming you discover the message in Sacred Scripture for you. Thank you for having responded to my
call." (Message, June 25,1991)
Mary is the perfect Orans (pray-er), a figure of the Church. When we pray to her, we are adhering with
her to the plan of the Father, who sends his Son to save all men. Like the beloved disciple we
welcome Jesus' mother into our homes, for she has become the mother of all the living. We can pray
with and to her. The prayer of the Church is sustained by the prayer of Mary and united with it in hope.
(CCC: 2679)
4. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin
Concluding prayer: We thank You, O Father, for having given us Your Son and His Mother, so that
none of those who believe in them and listen to them may be lost. Thank You for caring for each
person and, in Your mercy, for condemning no one. We pray today for all that Our Lady has prayed for
here in Medjugorje, and for every grace that has been poured out here into the world. May it bring the
fruit of holiness and serve You in Your plan of salvation. Amen.
