TODAY: Family plays a very important role in the life of every person. Healthy families create healthy people. Mixed-up families make mixed-up people. In destroyed families, the members are destroyed. The general rule states that healthy families lead to a healthy nation. The destruction of families begins with the destruction of its families.  The Church knows this and offers us an example to follow; the Holy Family of Nazareth- the family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The family is established for its individual members giving an opportunity for each individual to realize his/her own full potential. Husband realizes his potential in the love for his wife and in this he is fulfilled.  Wife realizes her femininity in her love for her husband and in this she is fulfilled. Both find fulfillment in the birth, love and education of their children.  The children fulfill their potential by being close to and growing with their parents. In this the family’s interpersonal relationships are realized.  Man is a social being and from his beginning each person must adapt to his community.     

 

    

 

DANAS:  Obitelj ima važnu ulogu u životu svakog čovjeka. U zdravim obiteljima razvijaju se zdrave osobe, iz smušenih obitelji smušene osobe, a iz razorenih obitelji razorene osobe.  To je u najmanju ruku općenito pravilo. Zdravlje naroda ovisi o zdravim obiteljima, a propast naroda počinje s propadanjem obitelji.  Crkva je toga svjesna. A pošto nam želi prije svega dobro, pruža nam uzor kojega bismo trebali slijediti- Nazaretsku obitelj.    No, uza sve to obitelj ipak nije vrijednost pred kojom bi se sve druge vrijednosti morale sklanjati. Iznad nje je čovjek, osoba, pojedinačni član obitelji. Obitelj je ustanovljena zbog njega, mora mu omogućiti da u njoj ostvari samoga sebe.   Muž se ostvaruje u ljubavnoj vezi sa svojom ženom. On je po prirodi upravljen k njoj, u njoj pronalazi svoju dopunu.  Žena ostvaruje svoju ženstvenost u ljubavnoj vezi s mužem. Njemu je upravljena i u njemu pronalazi svoju dopunu.   I jedno i drugo ostvaruju se u djeci koju rađaju i odgajaju. Djeci je upravljena njihova tjelesnost i duševnost,  u njima se dopunjuje njihovo osobno i zajedničko napredovanje.   Djeca se ostvaruju uz roditelje.  Iz njihove se ljubavi rađaju, u njihovoj brizi odrastaju, u njihovoj zrelosti dozrijevaju.  Istovremeno se ostvaruju i u međusobnim odnosima. Čovjek je društveno biće i već od malih nogu mora se prilagođavati zajednici.

MESSAGE FROM MEDJUGORJE DECEMBER 25TH

 

“Dear children! You are running, working, gathering- but without blessing. You are not praying!  Today I call you to stop in front of the manger and to meditate on Jesus.  whom I give to you today also, to bless you and to help you to comprehend that, without  Him, you have no future.  therefore, little children, surrender you lives into the hands of Jesus, for Him to lead you and protect you from every evil.  Thank you for having responded to my call.” BVM

 

«Draga djeco! Trcite, radite, skupljate, a bez blagoslova.  Vi ne molite!  Danas vas pozivljem da se zaustavite ispred jaslica i meditirate o Isusu kojega vam i danas dajem da vas blagoslovi i pomogne da shvatite da bez njega nemate buducnosti.  Zato, djecice, predajte svoje živote u Isusove ruke da vas o vodi i štiti od svakoga zla.

Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu.»  BVM
