    My opinion is that Mary is speaking here of spiritual death, which is what she is most concerned about. But of course I don't truly know. What I do know is that the most I can do is pray, sacrifice, and raise my family to love and follow God, trusting that God has us in the palm of His hand. All Mary has asked of us for all these years in Medjugorje is prayer, sacrifice, attending the sacraments, and being light and love to all those we can, to hopefully bring as many people to God as possible. Even if some world catastrophe is coming, that is still her message. Our mother wants to save the souls of her children so they are not lost to eternal death. People going to Hell in droves should be our great fear--not our physical welfare.

    I am sad Jean. I have upped my Rosaries. And hours of adoration. I think many of us have.

    Yes, I worry, especially for those in my family who still require conversion but I trust God will answer my prayers for them. Otherwise I am almost exhilarated as our redemption is nigh! This world has fallen and needs restoration so bring it on! I know it will be extremely difficult with what's coming but I am placing my trust in the intercession of Mary, the saints and our Guardian Angels to help us along. I just want to see all of the corruption in the Church and the world stop.

    I'm trying to pray more but feel exhausted by it all. My children do practice but don't want to know about any of this. I have urged so many times to be more attentive but they don't want to know.
    I just beg for God's mercy now.

    Somewhat related to the topic here but definitely interesting.
    Edited to add: Even if you only watch the last 2 minutes of this video you won’t be disappointed.

    Yes exhaustion here too. My husband and children and now grandchildren want nothing to do with the faith. I keep praying and surrendering and living in hope. But yes I am exhausted too.

    It's very hard to be on your own but I guess Moses was so exhausted they had to support his arms so as he could continue interceding. A mother's prayers are especially powerful. We have to stand in the gap.

    We need to take God at His Word when we get exhausted and let Him take us up on eagle’s wings .

    Truth! And I keep receiving reassurance from the Lord. "No one who trusted in Me was disappointed." And other scriptures with same message. But I do have to battle discouragement sometimes.

    Hang in there my mom had to wait 17 years but my personal prayer warrior worked zealously and won! :love: Now I return the favor as she is becoming very discouraged in her later years about her own issues :(

    Nothing new sadly. People have always wanted war since the beginning and since the fallen angels corrupted man. I was listening to a priest yesterday address the devil and the world. The devil went after Adam and Eve immediately and after them all who came before Jesus looking for the son of God. He was saying how he tempted Jesus with the same thing he was upset with God about. He wanted control of the physical world and didn't want rules. He didn't like for example as something as simple as the structure of a rock just being a rock. He wanted power over these natural laws and rules. This is why he tempted Jesus in similar manners to all before him by asking him to turn the rock into bread. Turn it into something it should not be and you too rebel against God and the natural order of things. It was after this temptation that the devil finally knew that Jesus was not like all other men before Him and was indeed the Son of God. The priest also pointed out how crafty St. Luke was in writing this out by saying after he had tempted Jesus he said he would return. Luke 4:13 . [13] And all the temptation being ended, the devil departed from him for a time. That time came again while Jesus was on the cross. What did the devil have the onlookers ask him to do. If you are the son of God, come down off that cross and prove to us and we will believe. The devil always wanted people to revolt from God and from the natural order of things. The devil taught the people sin and death and his favorite thing is war.

    Yes very helpful message especially Luz De Maria's commentary on the need to deal with our own ego's. Mea culpa on many fronts.
