By these words, Our Lady encourages us in our prayers. She acknowledges that we have been waiting expectantly all these years and may be tempted to disappointment. Her apparitions in Medjugorje are ongoing, and have continued since 1981. However, she wants us to know that peace in our hearts can prevail over peacelessness. We must recognize this and also see that we are engaged in a struggle. It is not simply a disagreement over words, but over ideas, over belief in God, and this struggle is ongoing in society! Msgr. James Shea from the University of Mary invites us to consider how the Apostles stood forth and presented the Good News. We must witness to others with our lives that Christ came to save us. And to grow in this certainty, we must ask God for an increase in faith.
