The Virgin Mary stays in Medjugorje for so long because she is our Mother and loves us immensely. So little is needed for us to start loving her back. But we do not understand the gifts at our disposal, says visionary Jakov Colo who appeals to firm decisions for a new attitude.

Mankind at large, and even many Medjugorje visitors, are far from understanding the real significance of more than 31 years of the Virgin Mary’s daily apparitions, visionary Jakov Colo recently told pilgrims in a lecture passed on by Glasnik Mira, the official parish magazine.
“You need to turn to God and Our Lady, and promise that you will start to live with Him today, that from now your life is changing, that as of today you want to be an example to everybody, that you will love God and share God’s goodness with everybody” Jakov said.
Jakov
as a teenager in the 1980s, when he still had daily apparitions. Since
they ended on September 12th 1998, he has had an apparition once a year,
on Christmas Day
“This is what Our Lady teaches here in Medjugorje. We do not realize how much grace we receive. Do you see how long Our Lady is appearing here? Mary comes for so long. She is coming here because of us, because she is our Mother, because we are immensely loved. The Madonna said in one of her messages: “Dear children, if you knew how much I love you, you would cry of joy!”
“That is Our Lady’s love for us, and so little is needed for us to start loving the Madonna! Let this day mark our promise to Our Lady: that we will begin to love her as our Mother, that she may be the Mother of our entire lives. Let us think about something else. At the end of each message she is giving us here in Medjugorje every month, Our Lady says: “Thank you for having responded to my call.”
“How big it is! Our Lady tells us very much, and every day we should give thanks for it, thank God for the gifts He has given us because we do not understand what gifts we have. From today, let us pray that we feel the gifts of God in our hearts, that we feel and accept God and His Mother in our hearts” Jakov said. Source http://www.medjugorjetoday.tv/
