\n\"FrJozo_5936\"<\/a>This is from a post on the Medjugorjelive forum<\/a>
\nby Tim Haley<\/p>\n

I like to recall what Fr Jozo said about unbelievers in a homily I heard him give\u00a0(click here for the full homily)<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are a few relevant excerpts \u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cImagine His Mother coming with a need to find a corner in an open house so that her child may not be born on the street. She knocked on the doors and everyone said \u201cThere is no room.\u201d There are those who say the same to that same Mother, when they hear what she is asking for.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow is it that there are those within the Church who have not recognized her? That there are Christians who do not know their Mother? How did it happen to Israel that they did not recognize the Messiah? He speaks by His works, by fruit. He speaks by His teaching, by miracles. And yet in the hearts of men, jealousy and envy grew.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what is Medjugorje? Was everything over when in Bethlehem everyone said that there is no room? No. That was the beginning of the tragedy. That was the beginning of the denial of the prophecy. And it\u2019s not yet over. And it will not be over until the end of the world. Because He came to His own and they received Him not. \u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are those who deny the Blessed Virgin. There are those who continually humiliate her. But she, as though nothing is happening, continues to be full of forgiveness, compassion before blindness, arrogance, superficiality or audacity. Before atheism or practical atheism. She continues to say \u201cMy Dear Children!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the 26 years and nearly 4 months, six children have given everything and have remained faithful. If we could only collect and gather the articles that proclaim them as sick by various sects and various individuals, by people with false intentions, unjust, it would be a mountain of false articles. But how did the children respond? Like the Blessed Virgin, in silence, suffering. And Medjugorje continued on, and the filth was left behind. And Medjugorje reveals itself to be all the more beautiful, all the more necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo from where is the audacity of a person to refuse to recognize the signs? To express their own will according to their own inclination, sin and evil desires? To legalize the evil that flows from within their hearts. Dear brothers and sisters. This is a time of grace, you must not jest. This is a time of salvation, you must not jest. That is why that Our Lady is appearing that you may not return blind. You have no right to be blind. Because her presence is the remedy, her message is the light. You have no reason to remain in the dark. You cannot say \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d because her message is the knowing. It is the answer to all your questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat you may believe this, grace is necessary. That you may recognize in her the Mother of your God, the Father must reveal it to you. That you may come to Medjugorje and say \u201cI believe\u201d, grace is necessary. To believe means to live Medjugorje.\u201d<\/p>\n
