It is always so encouraging to me to know that living in this world was not meant to be anxious, stressful, or hopeless. It was meant to be peaceful, and the means toward that peace is simply making every moment of our lives about loving God and one another. That's it. Pretty simple, and I love that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14762836534543083837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686705840883488515.post-22479085940609668102009-01-02T08:44:00.000-08:002009-01-02T08:44:00.000-08:00You're welcome, Karen!- ErikYou're welcome, Karen!<BR/><BR/>- ErikAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14762836534543083837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686705840883488515.post-98837074138224692009-01-01T16:27:00.000-08:002009-01-01T16:27:00.000-08:00Thank you Erik for inspiring me through your readi...Thank you Erik for inspiring me through your readings and for taking the time to inspire others through this blog....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686705840883488515.post-18023807212769504372008-12-26T08:44:00.000-08:002008-12-26T08:44:00.000-08:00I think this is a pretty intense message.

Danko's commentary brings home the reality of just how dark our world really is right now.<BR/><BR/>I've spent a lot of time studying the Virgin Mary's messages to the world through the visionaries of Medjugorje and spent a lot of time in recent years in books about the apparitions. One thing I always feel when reading or thinking about what is coming out of Medjugorje is a tremendous sense of peace and positivity because the answers to all of the world's problems (no matter how large) can be delivered through prayer and fasting. It's that simple.<BR/><BR/>I always take that sense of positivity into the world and get saddened when I look at the world from that perspective. Greed, perversion, abortion, war...This world, overall, is in a very bad place. And it's no wonder to me, in realizing that, why the Virgin Mary has stayed with the visionaries for 26 years. This is a time of grace, but also a time of grave warning. The world needs correction. We can do it ourselves, through prayer and fasting, or God will do it Himself, through more drastic measures.<BR/><BR/>I think all of us who live the messages provided to us by the Virgin Mary can rest assured we will be on the right side of the fence when the time for those drastic measures comes, and that is exactly the Virgin Mary's point in her apparitions.<BR/><BR/>The visionaries have told us there are secrets concerning chastisements that will come during their lifetimes, but that we should focus on what we're going to do to save our souls. It's important to KNOW this is an urgent time, but not to focus on that. This is a time of grace during which God is inviting us back, providing us a miracle through which to understand how beautiful life really can be when we live it His way, and to realign ourselves with our life's ultimate purpose: to return home to Heaven.<BR/><BR/>I want each of you who reads this to understand why I do this blog. I am confident that while I am not perfect I am traveling generally on the right path. I am trying to pray and fast and LIVE these messages. But it is not enough for me to want to save myself. I have tremendous faith that through networking together we can spread these messages on an even grander scale than has already been done. It is my undying hope that we will use this blog as a way of sharing with each other how we are working to spread the messages by truly, truly living them ourselves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14762836534543083837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686705840883488515.post-47243255517334011932008-10-25T12:07:00.000-07:002008-10-25T12:07:00.000-07:00I was really struck by the severity of today's mes...I was really struck by the severity of today's message, especially where the Blessed Virgin tells us we are "destorying every thing that is beautiful and good" in our souls, and that we're "further from God every day".<BR/><BR/>I think those words really highlight why Mary has appeared for so long in Medjugorje.
