Totus Tuus – Upoznati Boga Oca























Molitva sv. Ivi u Podmilačju

Sveti Ivo Krstitelju,
vjerni prijatelju Božji,
tebe je Isus nazvao najvećim od svih
koje je ikad žena rodila.
Pomozi mi svojim zagovorom
da se vratim na put Božji
i da, živeći po Božjim zapovijedima,
dorastem do prave veličine ljudske.
Ti si ustrajno pozivao sve ljude
da ne čine zlo
i nikome ne nanose nepravdu.
Pomozi mi svojom molitvom
da se odreknem svojih zlih navika,
zlih misli, riječi i djela,
te da čineći dobro i samo dobro,
nastojim popraviti dosad učinjene štete.
Moleći u tvome svetištu u Podmilačju
mnogi su našli utjehu
u svojim životnim patnjama i nevoljama.
Pomozi da i moja molitva donese
mir duši mojoj
i daruje sigurnost mojim koracima,
da se sa životom nosim
bez gorčine i nevjere,
da sve predam u Božje ruke
i svojim rukama
pošteno svoj kruh zarađujem.
U ovoj dolini podmilačkoj
mnogi su, po tvome zagovoru izmolili od Boga zdravlje duše i tijela.
Pridruži i moju nedostojnu molitvu
molitvama nepreglednog mnoštva hodočasnika
koji su dosad posjetili ovo svetište
i daj da barem još jedan nevoljnik
nađe milost ozdravljenja
i doživi radost posebne Božje ljubavi.
Tvoje svetište u Podmilačju
nadživjelo je stoljeća teških vremena
i, sravnjeno sa zemljom, opet niče iz pepela.
Izmoli i meni takvu postojanost
i odlučnost da uvijek iznova
krećem u novi početak na putu Božjem.
I da vežem, sv. Ivo, svoje srce
za svoju domovinu
onako kako se tvoje svetište
vjerno s njome vezalo
pa i u dobra i u zla vremena
u njoj Boga slavi i ljude na dobro poziva
te tako pripravlja put Onome
koji će na koncu vjekova
doći suditi živima i mrtvima. Amen.

    Every birthday is a small Christmas because with the birth of every person comes Jesus Christ.
    St. John Paul II, “Evangelium Vitae” (1995)
    Thank you very much, O God our loving Father for the gift of sharing in your life, for the grace of being alive. As we celebrate today the birth of the your Son’s precursor, St. John the Baptist, we remember with joy our own birthdays, our giftedness, your graciousness.
    Birthday is always special because of the gift of life, and the gift of direction and purpose that everybody looks forward into the future, of what is in store for us here on earth like in the birth of St. John the Baptist.
    All who heard these things took them to heart, saying, “What, then, will this child be?” For surely the hand of the Lord was with him.
    Luke 1:66
    With the coming of St. John the Baptist, you have taught us Lord that in life, what we must look forward to is to be one with your Son Jesus Christ.
    May our lives be like of John, a precursor of Jesus, always pointing people to Jesus, leading people to him who is the Christ who takes away the sins of the world.
    Photo by author, marker at Eim Karen, 2019.
    Teach us to be strong in spirit, always creating a space for silence and hiddenness where we can meet you often, Lord, so that at the end of our life journey, you remain our reward like the prophets of old.
    Though I thought I had toiled in vain, and for nothing, uselessly, spent my strength, yet my reward is with the Lord, my recompense is with my God.
    Isaiah 49:4
    That is the meaning of John – grace of God and graciousness of God.
    It is a grace for us all to be alive, to share Jesus with others, to be a glimpse of himself and of his truth and kindness.
    But, ultimately, your greatest grace for us all is to share in the Cross of Christ like John the Baptist for that is only when people realize you have come indeed in us. Amen.

    Nativity of Saint John the Baptist
    Prophet
    († 30)
    The birth of Saint John was foretold by Saint Gabriel, Archangel of the Lord, to his father, Zachary, who was offering incense in the Temple. The son of Zachary was to be the prophesied Messenger, Zachary was told, whose mission would prepare the way for Christ. Before he was born into the world John had already begun to live for the Incarnate God; even in the womb he recognized the presence of Jesus and of Mary, and leaped with joy at the glad coming of the Son of man. Before Christ’s public life began, a divine impulse sent Saint John into the desert; there, with locusts for his food and wearing haircloth, in silence and in prayer, he chastened his soul. In his youth he remained hidden, because He for whom he waited was also hidden.
    Then, as crowds broke in upon his solitude, he warned them to flee from the wrath to come, and gave them the baptism of penance, while they confessed their sins. At last there stood in the crowd One whom Saint John did not know, until a voice within told him that it was his Lord. He affirmed: I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, He upon whom thou wilt see the Spirit descending and abiding, He it is who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ With the baptism of Saint John, Christ began His voluntary abasement for the sins of His people; and Saint John indeed saw the Holy Ghost descend, under the visible form of a dove, indicating in the humble Jesus of Nazareth the divine Perfection of the peaceable Eternal King and High Priest. Then the Saint’s work was done. He had but to point his own disciples to the Lamb, he had only to decrease as Christ increased. He saw all men leave him and go after Christ. I told you, he said, that I am not the Christ. The friend of the Bridegroom rejoices hearing the Bridegroom’s voice. This, my joy, is fulfilled.
    Saint John was cast into the fortress of Herod on the east coast of the Dead Sea by the tyrant whose crimes he had rebuked; he would remain there until beheaded at the will of a girl and her cruel mother. During this time of imprisonment, some of his disciples visited him. Saint John did not speak to them of himself, but sent them to Christ, that they might witness His miracles and hear His doctrine, proofs of His mission. After Saint John’s death, the Eternal Truth pronounced the panegyric of the Saint who had lived and breathed for Him alone: Verily I say unto you, among those born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist.
    Reflection. Saint John was great before God because in complete forgetfulness of himself he lived only for Jesus Christ, who is the source of all greatness. Sacrifice every day some of your natural inclinations to the Sacred Heart of Our Lord, and learn little by little to lose yourself in Him.

    Saint Peter of VeronaSaint Peter of Verona Dominican Priest and Martyr (1206-1252) In 1205 the glorious martyr Peter was born at Verona of Manichean parents; there he nonetheless attended a Catholic school. One day his Manichean uncle asked what he learnt there. The Creed, answered Peter: I believe in God, Creator of heaven and earth. No arguments could shake his faith, and at the age of sixteen he received the habit from Saint Dominic himself at Bologna. After his ordination, he preached to the heretics of Lombardy and converted multitudes. Saint Peter was constantly obliged to dispute with heretics, and although he was able to confound them, still the devil took occasion thereby to tempt him one day against faith. Instantly he had recourse to prayer before an image of Our Lady, and heard a voice saying to him the words of Jesus Christ in the Gospel, I have prayed for thee, Peter, that thy faith may not fail; and thou shalt confirm thy brethren in it. (Luke 22:32)

    ROXETTE copieed him from BIBEL “So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.”
    Matthew 10:31Dear friends, Tonight here is a sweet little poem…Only A Little Sparrow
    I’m only a little sparrow,
    A bird of low degree;
    My life is of little value,
    But the dear Lord cares for me.I know there are many sparrows –
    All over the world they are found;
    But our Heavenly Father knoweth
    When one of us falls to the ground.Tho’ small, we are not forgotten;
    Tho’ weak, we are never afraid;
    For we know that the dear Lord keepeth
    The life of the creatures He made.I just fold my wings at nightfall,
    Wherever I happen to be;
    For the Father is always watching,
    And no harm can happen to me.I am only a little sparrow,
    A bird of low degree;
    But I know that the Father loves me;
    Doest thou know His love for thee?MARIE roxette little sparvöga her favourite song
