The ‘Medjugorje Cross’ portrays Jesus Christ ‘Dying’ and ‘Rising’. This is the “hidden treasure” we all need to be ‘aware’ of, to live God’s “3G” Reality : “Gift / Grace / Glory”. The ‘miracle message’ we all need to ‘grasp’ is : “dying to OLD way of life” and “rising to NEW way of life”.
The central purpose of Jesus Christ (coming on earth) was to model this ‘message / meaning’ for ALL HUMANITY. On the surface, the LIFE of Jesus Christ was a ‘failure’. He was rejected by the ‘so called authorities’ – He suffered His Passion – He was Crucified and Died – BUT, few people – even after a 2,000 year history of mankind struggling to overcome their ‘dysfunctional human condition’ – ‘cop-on’ to the implications of Christ’s RESURRECTION, where, He TRANSCENDED our ‘human limitations’ and is, now and forever, with ‘you / me / everyone’ (who have eyes to see) FREEING US to “do” the same (ie leave our HUMAN LIMITATIONS and partake of His UNLIMITED SPIRIT LED LIFE).
The ‘KEY’ to the GOOD LIFE promised by Jesus Christ – “I have come that you may have life and have it to the full” (John 10:10) – is to place our TRUST ‘IN HIM’ and ‘NOT IN OUR OWN DYSFUNCTIONAL SELVES’. Jesus Christ came for all humanity : “Come to Me, all you who labour and are weary and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28-30). This invitation applies : ‘when-ever / where-ever / what-ever’. Yes, the REAL ‘break-through’ for Humanity is this NEW reality, the “PERSON” of the Risen Living Christ, who is all we need (“WAY TRUTH LIFE”).
Once we ACCEPT ‘the Light / the Life / the love’ of Jesus Christ, miracles happen, each and every day. We need to, continuously, ‘REFLECT’ / ‘PONDER’ on these Blessings (as Mary did) and say our heartfelt “THANKS”. Yes, no matter what is OCCURRING in ‘Life Itself’ we need to GIVE ‘Glory and Praise’ to ‘Our God’. This, due, ‘Reciprocal-Love-Response’ represents the FILLING UP OF ALL OUR NEEDS, as stated by St Augustine : ‘You have made us for Yourself, O’Lord, and our hearts are restless, until they rest in You’.
Thus, ‘Life Itself’ becomes “TRANS-FORMED” (ie turned ‘up-side-down’) – AND – when OTHERS begin to ‘see’ this “TRANS-FORMATION”, they, too, will want to ‘KNOW ABOUT’ and ‘EXPERIENCE’ this same miracle / the ‘Medjugorje Cross’ miracle.
