- The main message is this : the presence of Our Lady
- The family must pray together and read the Bible
- To fast means to open up to the Lord
- When you are humble, when you pray fervently and when you love, satan cannot even draw close
- This is the time of decision
- I am with you and I am your Mother
- 'Today is the Feast of the Mother of goodness, love and mercy', and She gave us her blessing.
- 'Pray so that all the trials which come from satan might result in the glory of God'
- We must enter into our prayer before we begin to pray
- 'But why do you pray ? To be with God, to feel God inside yourselves'
- 'I am beautiful because I love. If you want to be beautiful, love'
- 'Be reconciled with Our Lord'
- "In our daily lives, we must find the Word of God which saves us in a real way"

- You must die in order to be resurrected
- 'I invite you to the light you must bring to all those who are in darkness' Lent messages
- Our Lady has taught us to take three steps forward in group prayer.
- Many stop at Easter and do not live the Resurrection
- The first thing to understand is the Will of God, even in suffering
- The apparitions are a stage in the spiritual life of the Church
- "Pray that hearts gripped by sin may open. I wish for this. God wishes it through me."
- When we say "pray" to the people, many do not know what it means
- Pray to the Holy Spirit for enlightenment
- "You ask me to stay with you always, not to leave you, but now I ask you not to leave me"
- In every prayer, we must express our inner life
- "I invite you to a more active prayer, and to participate in the Holy Mass. I would like every Mass to become an experience of God for you."
- The last daily meeting between Ivanka and Our Lady (7th May 1985)
- There is a fundamental error: to ask for things instead of seeking God.

I say to you: love
People ask information about Medjugorje and its messages, but there is little to say. We usually give some explanations, some news, but Our Lady does not bring news: like a Mother, She awakens, incites, calls, rebukes .... There is nothing new.
It is the same when She tells us to go deep into our innermost self.
In the moment when these messages are given one feels an interior opening, light comes. The words are the same, but the heart understands the depth.
On this plane, many messages are now being given and those listening to the messages are following an interior path. It is very important to follow this interior path and open ourselves to the light.
By the way, for the last few weeks Our Lady has been teaching the prayer group how to live the Our Father. How to live every single word, how to really feel it within.
It is not a question of receiving news, but of going deeper into how we live day by day, in a new light.
Now that Medjugorje is under so much discussion I want to tell you what Our Lady said at the beginning of Lent, through the visionary Jelena: "Look, now I am here. I am in every family.I am everywhere. It may seem strange to you , but it is not. This is what love does. I tell you :love".
You see, we must understand that love has its influence everywhere. We must move towards love, live love. Our strength is love, not human arguments; rather the strength of love together with human discussions. But all humna arguments without love can do nothing and we must move towards the core of this message.
May you all live these days in Medjugorje with love and with a new light and may you take this light to others. I suggest to the pilgrims that instead of taking photographs, recording and filming ... you yourselves should become a videocassette, a recorder, for others !
(Fr. Tomislav Vlasic, 29th March 1985)
