A few days ago mysticpost posted a comment about the forum becoming irrelevant.
Perhaps there isn’t as much interest in posting to the forum as there used to be. Posters come and go, but the monthly message has always been posted soon after it has been announced.
But it’s now five days since the August message was given to Marija and still the message hasn’t appeared on the forum!
Could here be some truth in Steve’s opinion that the forum is becoming irrelevant amongst Medjugorje followers?
I noticed in the latest message that Our Lady warns again about the strength of Satan and this made me thing about all that is happening in Texas at present and the suffering brought about by the onslaught of the tropical storm Harvey.
Should this be seen as a sign of Satan’s strength or perhaps the result of the lack of prayer. Certainly here are signs of love in the way the communities have responded in helping neighbours.
It is claimed that God is present in all situations, so how should we look at this scenario: as a sign of Satan’s strength, or God’s will to test people and bring them to prayer?
When the Medjugorje apparitions first began the people were told by Our Lady to pray, pray, pray (She still repeats this message. Ten years later the Bosnia War broke out.
So do we pray for disasters not to happen or pray to accept all that comes our way and to trust in God whatever the outcome? And can we ever be joyful when faced with daily disasters around the world?

Dear children! Today I am calling you to be people of prayer. Pray until prayer becomes a joy for you and a meeting with the Most High. He will transform your hearts and you will become people of love and peace. Do not forget, little children, that Satan is strong and wants to draw you away from prayer. You, do not forget that prayer is the secret key of meeting with God. That is why I am with you to lead you. Do not give up on prayer. Thank you for having responded to my call.
