Quote by Slavko Barbaric

“Sin is the reality of our lives and of this world. Sin is the dark side, the contrary power, the destructive activity in the world. To triumph over sin would mean to build up our lives, the lives of others, of the family, of the community, of the Church, of the world, without ever making a step backward... The triumph over sin would mean that now a single justified desire would ever be frustrated, that not a single sigh would ever be ignored, that not a single tear would ever fall into the dark abyss of despair, and that not a single hope would ever be betrayed.”

“Cuando aparecía, no decía nada acerca de mis luchas personales. Sólo a través de la oración entendí finalmente que yo no era diferente de cualquier otra persona que sufría. Nuestra Señora permanecía en silencio sobre mi situación por respeto a mi libre albedrío y por amor a todos sus hijos los que la podían ver, como los que no la podían ver. Me di cuenta que, como una buena madre, Nuestra Señora no tenía favoritos.”

“To accept the messages, to accept others and love them the way Mary accepts them, means to take the role of a mother - or to partake in it - in the birth of a new world. There is no other way. The experience of pilgrims and parishioners is truly a new experience of togetherness. All who come to this parish community come to love it as their own, feel like members of the large community - the Church - in which Mary is the MOther and each person a beloved child.”

“En la Biblia, Juan el Bautista usaba la misma palabra cuando, en sentido figurado, describía la misión de Jesús como una cosecha de almas. A medida que la gente tocaba a Nuestra Señora, me di cuenta de que en su vestido se estaban formando agujeros negros. Estos agujeros se coagularon formando una gran mancha del color del carbón. Las manchas, dijo Nuestra Señora, representaban los pecados que nunca habían sido confesados. Durante estos encuentros diarios, Nuestra Señora nos subrayaba cosas como la oración, el ayuno, la confesión, la lectura de la Biblia e ir a misa - las 5 piedras del padre Jozo.”

“Los cristianos en este mundo son como una luz en la oscuridad. Nuestra fortaleza esta en nuestras rodillas, en nuestras manos unidas en oracion, en nuestro cargar la cruz. Nuestra fuerza viene de Dios, Nuestro Señor. No hay otra fuerza, otra sabiduría, otra victoria, sino la victoria sobre la absurdidad de este mundo a través de la humildad, el amor y el sacrificio.”
