“Therefore, my children, pray, pray, pray, with the heart, pray with love, pray with good works. Pray so that the world will change, that the world will be saved. With love live the words of my Son. Do not judge, instead love one another so that my heart will triumph. Thank you”. Our Lady of Medjugorje 2 March 2017
To pray from the heart is to live out the priesthood we Christians belong to as stated in the ‘1st Letter of Peter’. When Jesus told us not to judge, he was not talking about acts of evil that are committed. What we are called to do is to not abuse our priesthood in ways that we are not called to do. The human person is made in God’s image and likeness and that can never be erased. Each human being because they are created by a loving God is sacred and no one has the right to judge or degenerate another human being. Each of us must grow in humility and in the knowledge that we fail, sin, yet only God is our judge, because only God sees the depths of our hearts as well as the hearts of our fellow human beings.
To pray from the heart is to join ourselves with Christ Jesus before the Father in praying for the world and in offering Jesus up for the salvation of the world. Mankind is growing weary from the weight of the violence, pain, and war that is piled up higher in each generation. We know that hatred in all of its forms does no one any good, yet it is the normal way of dealing with others who offend us, or of a different nation, race, and religion, or as is easily seen in the United States today, an opposing political party. Yet we continue.
I believe the Blessed Mother is a true prophet for our times. She also says in the same message:
“My Son is merciful and just. My motherly heart would desire for you also to be like that. My motherly heart would desire that you, apostles of my love, speak of my Son and of me to all those around you with your life; so that the world would be different; that simplicity and purity would return; that faith and hope would return”.
For Christians, the only way to achieve this is in relationship with Christ Jesus so that we can be more like him. The more we love and open our hearts to him, the deeper his grace can work in us and heal us. So that we can actually love, forgive, and because of the gift of true humility, see more deeply into the hearts of others. The more we learn to love, the less we can use contempt and hatred to cover over the suffering humanity of those around us. Peace has to start with each person opening their hearts to God. Muslims, Hindus, Jews and Buddhist and people of all paths are called to this…..to be open to God’s infinite love and grace, compassion, and mercy.
