Medjugorje Message from Our Lady on January 25, 2008 "Dear children! With the time of Lent, you are approaching a time of grace. Your heart is like ploughed soil and it is ready to receive the fruit which will grow into what is good. You, little children, are free to choose good or evil. Therefore, I call you to pray and fast. Plant joy and the fruit of joy will grow in your hearts for your good, and others will see it and receive it through your life. Renounce sin and choose eternal life. I am with you and intercede for you before my Son. Thank you for having responded to my call." 01/2008
Thought for the Month –
Salvation is so simple we can overlook it, so profound
we can never comprehend it, so priceless we could never buy it; yet free for
all who will believe and receive.
