Man’s Plans, God’s Plans

Man’s Plans, God’s Plans

May 30, 2019 A.D.

Continuing to listen to Our Lady’s words from May 25, 2019, Our Lady said:

“…God permitted me, out of His mercy, to be with you…”

This sentence, as a Friend of Medjugorje has stated many times before, tells more than what is read at first glance.

The village of Medjugorje has indeed changed much physically, as the plans of man evolve. Yet the plans of Our Lady have not changed. A Friend of Medjugorje writes about the importance of coming in union with God’s plan through Medjugorje:

Our role in Our Lady’s plans should be according to God’s design. We discover it through prayer, abandoning our wants to God. We cannot want more than what God wants for us. When our ego combines with pride, we can fall under delusion and believe that our own plans are God’s plans and cannot think anything could be bigger than our thoughts. But God’s design is far greater and more fruitful than you could ever imagine and will exceed in fruit above anything you conceive for yourself.

from Medjugorje: Making Sense of the Father Tomislav Vlasic Episode

Our Lady’s words of May 25, 2019, “God permitted me, out of His mercy, to be with you,” are ‘shake us from our slumber’ words, that Our Lady is trying to tell us something that we cannot understand superficially. All must realize that God has sent Our Lady, with a plan to save the world. All plans, as a Friend of Medjugorje has written before, are secondary to this plan. We must abandon our human interests, human plans for that plan that God has allowed out of mercy, whether that be in our personal lives, our places of employment, our church, even the village of Medjugorje itself. Be thoughtful of this more in the next days.

    May Gods will be done. May we not take one step without Christ. If we allow our hands to be held by Christ and Mary it will be as if we are floating because they step for us.

  2. Oh Northern Apostle, when I pray, I feel a vision of Jesus on my left and Our Mother on my right, hand and hand leading me…through all the mess…through all the hurt….and through all my faults. Praying for God’s plan of salvation, for me and tnrough me. Praying for Our Lady’s intentions. Praying for forgiveness.Praying despite my weaknesses, for God’s Will here on earth as in Heaven!
