Conversion is a Test of Love

A pilgrim in Medjugorje, walking barefoot on the mountain, a common sight, as many when climbing the mountain feel the need to give more of themselves in penance. Our Lady recently said on July 2, 2014:

“…call you to set out on the way of humility. That way leads to the coming to know the love of my Son…”

In humility, we recognize our sin, and give more in penance. It is here we find the love of Jesus Who gave everything out of love for us. A Friend of Medjugorje shares more about conversion in Treasure Chest:

“Conversion is not a one time experience. It is a process of daily growing closer and closer to God. Our Lady said:

June 25, 1992

“…Thus I call you day after day to conversion…”

It is not enough to convert. Our Lady goes on to say in the same message quoted above:

“…but if you do not pray, you cannot say you are converting…”

“If you pray every experience will be used by God to help you on the way of conversion…Conversion is a test of love. When we can turn against all our weakness, faults, uncharitable habits; when we resist and change every error in our lives, then we are headed toward total conversion. When is conversion complete? It will be completed in this life at the final draw of our last breath. Conversion may be likened to struggle. Struggle likened to war. The object of war is a more perfect peace. For the sake of love, love of Our Lady, Her daily blessing given each day during apparition time is to be turned into profound daily conversion.

“Dear children, today I bless you with my Motherly Blessing and invite you all to conversion. I wish that each of you decides himself for a change of life…You cannot say that you are converted, because your life must become a daily conversion…”
