I was delighted yesterday to finally find a message from Our Lady of medjugore that I had been looking for,It was a message that for me was a personal hello as to say. I had searched for it for quite some time but because the part I was looking for was always missing from published messages I could never find it, the part that is added to the message below is my own experience of Our Lady talking directly to me When I was in medjugore in 2006 I got into a very long debate regaurding who should pray over people,I had made the point on several occasions that it would be wise to be carefull who you let pray over you and insisted that a priests hands are blessed and are perfect for the job well when I attended Mirjana's message on the 2nd Oct 2006 the person who I was debating with was present with me and we sat outside in the sun listening as the message was read out,,the person looked at me with shock and awe and said wow John I think Our Heavenly Mother just spoke directly to us, I remember being overjoyed... message below October 2, 2006 "Dear children! I am coming to you in this your time, to direct the call to eternity to you. This is the call of love. I call you to love, because only through love will you come to know the love of God. Many think that they have faith in God and that they know His laws. They try to live according to them, but they do not do what is the most important; they do not love Him. My children, pray and fast. This is the way which will help you to open yourselves and to love. Only through the love of God is eternity gained. I am with you. I will lead you with the Motherly love. Thank you for having responded" Our Lady added: “My children, priests' hands are blessed hands of my Son, respect them.” message link http://www.medjugorje.com/medjugorje-messages/2nd-messages/?year=2006
That is amazing Quis ut Deus! Our Lady had finished her message with the usual "Thank you for having responded", but then added “My children, priests' hands are blessed hands of my Son, respect them.” this is definitely a personal message to you. That means our Blessed mother has spoken directly to you, what a great honour! I agree about the hands of a priest. One day at mass I realised that the priest says..........Peace be with you or the peace of Christ be with you to the whole congregation and we all respond with 'and also with you' [or now] 'and with your spirit'. I thought I've heard that a thousand times before, but now I was understanding something more profound and that is ......the priest gives us all, the entire congregation this peace of Christ, but our collective response gives that back to the priest! The priest is endowed with a great power to be able to bless and give spiritually to many at the same time, however we the laity as a community must join together to offer this back to the priest! This means that a priests prayer is so much more powerful than the prayer of a single member of the laity!
