A Friend of Medjugorje shares a Christmas message, why it’s important now, and how we need to live it.
What St Isaac exposes here is not a technique but a diagnosis. He is ruthless because the sickness is deep. The soul is meant to be good soil but soil is not neutral ground. It either receives the seed with vigilance or it becomes choked. Remembrance of God is not a poetic feeling but a sustained pressure on the heart a vigilance that does not sleep. When this remembrance is alive the soul becomes a place where God Himself shades and illumines. There is no romance here. Light appears inside darkness not because the darkness is denied but because the soul has chosen to stand watch within it. St Isaac refuses to let us spiritualize our way around the body. The belly is not incidental. What enters the mouth reaches the heart. He speaks bluntly because self deception thrives in vagueness. Excess dulls perception. Pleasure thickens the air of the soul. Wisdom is not stolen from us by demons alone but smothered by our own indulgence. A full belly does not merely weaken resolve it fuels lust because the body has been trained to demand satisfaction. This is not moralism. It is anthropology. The knowledge of God does not coexist with a body that has been enthroned. Here asceticism is revealed as truth telling. It strips away the lie that discipline is punishment. Labor is not opposed to grace. Labor is the ground where grace becomes intelligible. St Isaac compares it to labor pains because knowledge of God is not an idea grasped but a life brought forth. Without toil there is no birth only fantasy. Sloth does not simply delay holiness it gives birth to shame because the soul knows it has avoided the cost of truth. This is where the inner disposition becomes decisive. Asceticism without remembrance hardens into pride. Asceticism without humility becomes violence against the self. But remembrance without discipline dissolves into sentimentality. St Isaac holds them together because life demands it. The question is not how much one fasts or how little one sleeps but whether the heart is consenting to be trained. Discipline embraced with resentment breeds bitterness. Discipline embraced with attention becomes wisdom. In an age starved of living elders this teaching cuts even deeper. We are tempted either to abandon asceticism entirely or to turn it into a private project shaped by personality and preference. St Isaac offers neither comfort. He places responsibility back into the hands of the one who desires God. The absence of elders does not absolve us. It makes inner honesty more urgent. The body becomes the first elder. Hunger teaches restraint. Fatigue teaches humility. Failure teaches mercy. If these are ignored no amount of reading will save us. Christ's closeness to the mouth of the one who endures hardship is not sentimental reassurance. It is promise and warning. He draws near to the body that has consented to the Cross. Not to the body pampered under the language of balance or self care. The care Christ offers is not the removal of hardship but His presence within it. Asceticism then is not heroic excess but fidelity to reality. It is the refusal to live divided. Priceless indeed is labor wrought with wisdom because it produces not control but clarity. The soul begins to see. And once it sees it can no longer pretend. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:01:50 Fr.

Reflexiones de los Mensajes de la Virgen Maria en Medjugorge

Nos invita a abrir el corazón a la gracia, a agradecer profundamente, y a creer que Dios desea convertir el mundo entero comenzando por nuestra vida. Nos asegura que somos importantes, necesarios y amados, y nos llama a seguir respondiendo con oración, sacrificio y entrega, porque juntos formamos parte del gran plan que Dios guía a través de Medjugorje.
The world has so much evil. Is there a way out? A Friend of Medjugorje tells all about it.
A Friend of Medjugorje gives us solid direction that is straight from the messages of Our Lady.
Today's Mass Readings: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/112025.cfmPilgrimage Promo: https://youtu.be/LSw5E8f5jNYRegister for the Pilgrimage Here: https://marian.org/events/pilgrimage-medjugorjeAs we approach the end of the liturgical year, Fr. Jason Lewis reflects on Jesus' anguished words to Jerusalem — the city that should have recognized “what makes for peace” (Lk 19:42). Like Eden and the Temple, Jerusalem was meant to be the spiritual center of the cosmos, yet its people often turned from the very Source of life. Jesus laments a blindness of heart that leads to ruin, reminding us that true peace is found only when we return to God with humility and trust. As the Catechism teaches, “Peace is the tranquility of order” rooted in God Himself (CCC 2304).Fr. Jason shows how Our Lady, the Queen of Peace, leads us directly to her Son, the Prince of Peace. Her message echoes the words Jesus gave to St. Faustina: “Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to My mercy” (Diary, 300). Medjugorje, a place of deep conversion for many, calls us to pray from the heart, read Scripture, adore Christ in the Eucharist, fast, and make frequent confession — the very sacramental life through which Divine Mercy heals and restores us. Access to grace in the Eucharist and Confession reveals why the Church calls the Sacraments “powers that come forth from the Body of Christ” (CCC 1116).The world promises peace through wealth, comfort, or distraction, yet these leave us empty. Only Jesus offers a peace that endures (cf. Jn 14:27). Our Lady invites us to trust, surrender, and choose the narrow path that leads to life.

"We had a massive fire. We lost everything, with the exception of one thing. In the living room, within the ashes, one thing survived, our Bible." ---------- At the base of Cross Mountain in Medjugorje, our guide had us bend down and pick up a small stone. She said to place all our worries, fears, and crosses on this tiny rock. Then, she told us to carry it in our pocket to the top and to leave it at the foot of the cross, surrendering it all to Christ. In this episode, I bring you along for the ascent, with audio from my fellow pilgrims Ben and Paul and the 20-plus souls who climbed with us. I also share a providential two-minute encounter with Claire, a listener whose own life reveals the gentle fingerprints of God—from her father's passing to a house fire that showed His hand. Together, our stories point to the daily cross, and the strength Christ gives to carry it. ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

A Friend of Medjugorje will never stop tiring in telling what people need to start doing today, without delay.
Homily from St. James Church in Medjugorje on November 10, 2025.
"Everyone was flipping out. I was there. I witnessed this. Everyone was screaming and yelling at my mother's impossible prayer being answered." ---------- What happens when we stop telling God How to Fix It and simply hand Him the problem? This week's Touched by Heaven takes us from a broken white cane on a Medjugorje pilgrimage, to a Cuban girl's miracle education, and even to a can of tomato paste that shouldn't exist. In each story, heaven responds to the same simple, powerful prayer that Mary modeled at Cana: "They have no wine." When we stop micromanaging miracles and let God be God, He fills our jars — and our lives — to the brim. ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

"I'm a miracle healing. I am a living testimony of Medjugorje. I was healed there." ---------- Elizabeth and I just returned from two and a half weeks of incredible pilgrimages — first with some of our Touched by Heaven listeners in Medjugorje, and then with our parish in Italy. I literally just walked in the door, and what better time to revisit one of our most powerful miracle stories? In this episode, we go back to Episode 149 and the unforgettable story of Sandra and her miraculous healing of pituitary cancer in Medjugorje. When Sandra and her sister first visited, they wondered if people were faking the spiritual experiences they kept hearing about. But then, everything changed — they began to see what others were seeing, and soon after, God granted Sandra an impossible, life-changing healing. This is one of many miracles that have touched hearts in Medjugorje. Let's revisit this powerful testimony of faith, healing, and the presence of Heaven on Earth.
