Our Lady of Medjugorje said through Mirjana on March 18, 2018:
“…My earthly life was simple. I loved and I rejoiced in small things. I loved life – the gift from God…”
Sometimes, we complicate life with too many “big” things. We need to return to the small things.

A mare horse and her baby enjoy each other’s company near the Caritas bleachers in Medjugorje.* What person does not feel something stir within them in seeing how nature shows us the love of our God?
The discovery of joy in God is often found in nature. A Friend of Medjugorje writes:
“…With our lives united with God, we can truly discover the real life that God wants to unveil to us. The gift of life is in itself something marvelous. The intensity of life with God is a gift that comes from love. Life must be a joy, a discovery of joy. But that intense life which is a discovery of joy can only exist in God:
May 25, 1989
“…see, little children, how nature is opening herself and is giving life and fruits. In the same way I am calling you to a life with God and a complete surrender to Him…”
“A life with God is a discovery of the profoundness of the mystery of life…”1
The next couple of days, make an effort to go out into nature and pray to God the Creator. Experience this intensity of life with God in nature. You will find yourself rejuvinated and refreshed by the small things, and you will love life.
Be on the lookout for a new book coming soon from a Friend of Medjugorje which address this need man has of nature, the truth about ADHD and medications, etc. and shows the path Our Lady is leading the world by Her Medjugorje messages. Be in prayer.
