Since 1981, in Medjugorje, hasn\u2019t she given all the keys that we need today to have healthy and holy families? Let us listen to her voice and live the inspired directives that she gives us through her messages! We could have avoided all the dramas, the breakups, perversions and depressions that undermine the Western world if we had put into practice her motherly advice! Here are a few snippets of what the visionaries have conveyed to us over the years.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cDear children, today as never before, Satan wants to destroy your families; he is working day and night. Resist him, with the Rosary in your hand.\u201d \u201cLet parents pray with their children, let children pray with their parents! Thus united in prayer, Satan can do nothing against you.\u201d <em><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u201cI invite you to pray each day with your family. Family prayer is THE remedy to heal the world of today.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/em> \u201cA simple Rosary can work miracles in the world and in your lives.\u201d \u201cLet your 1st prayer group be your family.\u201d \u201cWhen you pray together, Jesus comes among you. The purpose of family prayer is to make Jesus come.\u201d<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mysticpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/The20Virgin20of20the20Lilies-205x300.jpg\" alt=\"The%20Virgin%20of%20the%20Lilies\" width=\"205\" height=\"300\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Once Jesus has come, what else do we need? We have God in our home! Of course Jesus performs divine work in our midst. He will give peace to this one, healing to another, freedom, joy, consolation, light\u2026 and our family life will be transformed. So if we pray every day, Jesus will live in our home, He will become a member of the family. So that Dad, Mom, Uncle will talk about him with love and respect, and small children who live in the house will believe that God is great, that God exists, that he is good because Mom and Dad speak of him with love. This will sow the seeds of faith in their hearts. <strong>But if the parents never talk about God in the family, the children will understand that God does not exist or that, if he does, he is not important at all.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>If Jesus lives with us, he stands guard. He fills the home with His presence and gradually destroys all the viruses that destroy the family: criticism, hatred, jealousy, envy\u2026 not to mention pornography that is destroying so many families. A survey showed that more than 70% of divorces are due to pornography. Jesus cleans out everything that prevents us from being a family. He favors all the values that build up a family: unity of hearts, sharing, mutual support, and mutual forgiveness. If members of a family never ask each other forgiveness, the family is in danger. It is good not to go to sleep before having made peace.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>When Satan comes into our homes to do his work of destruction, he sees that the place is already occupied by someone else! He sees that Jesus is there and he is terrified. He drops his weapons and can no longer harm us. Jesus defeated him on the cross and since then Satan cannot stand His presence. A family that prays every day builds a barrier against evil, against the destroyer. That barrier is Christ himself! But in a family that does not pray, where is the barrier? There is none. The family is in danger.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>We sometimes hear: \u201cnow we can get married because we have everything, the house, the money, the job, health\u2026\u201d <strong>Everything you need to build a good lasting family. But if one doesn\u2019t have Jesus at the center of the family, where is the protection?<\/strong> When the destroyer comes to destroy this family, neither the house, nor the job, nor the money scare him away! Only Jesus scares him! It is better to have Jesus and be poor than to be rich without Jesus. When Mary chose the village of Medjugorje, she said: \u201cHere I have found true believers!\u201d The only wealth these families had was Jesus!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>If someone blasphemes in the family, ignore him. Stay calm and pretend not to have heard anything. But in your heart bless God. Then your blessing will cancel the effect of the blaspheme. The one who blasphemes will tire before you get tired of blessing God! In this way you will keep your peace of heart and that peace will flow onto all the people around you. God has a plan of Holiness for every person in your family. If you pray, you are God\u2019s instrument for those who do not know his love. But \u201cdo not enter into a discussion\u201d says Mary. It is through example, not irritation that hearts open.<\/div>\n<div>Mary has come to beg us: \u201cRenew prayer in your family!\u201d Today the attack is too powerful, we need powerful weapons so as not to sin.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>see also<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mysticpost.com\/silence-of-the-birds-at-medjugorje-haunts-atheist-doctor-investigating-visionaries-converts-to-catholicism\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Silence of the Birds at Medjugorje Haunts Atheist Doctor Investigating Visionaries \u2026Converts to Catholicism<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please Like Us on Facebook Thanks Sr. Emmanuel Mary\u2019s voice on the family In the midst of the turmoil created by questions about the family, I wish to make heard the peaceful, crystal clear, prophetic, penetrating and healing voice of the Most Holy Mother of God.
