Dear children, I, as a mother who loves her children, see how diffi cult the time in which you live is. I see your suffering, but you need to know that you are not alone. My Son is with you. He is everywhere. He is invisible, but you can see him if you live him. He is the light which illuminates your soul and gives you peace. He is the Church which you need to love and to always pray and fi ght for – but not only with words, instead with acts of love. My children, bring it about for every- one to come to know my Son, bring it about that he may be loved, because the truth is in my Son born of God – the Son of God. Do not waste time deliberating too much; you will distance yourselves from the truth. With a simple heart accept his word and live it. If you live his word, you will pray. If you live his word, you will love with a merciful love; you will love each other. The more that you will love, the farther away you will be from death. For those who will live the word of my Son and who will love, death will be life. Thank you. Pray to be able to see my Son in your shepherds. Pray to be able to embrace him in them. -- Medjugorje message, August 2, 2015 *** Jesus answered: “It is my Father’s will that whoever sees the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and that I shall raise him up on the last day.” John 6 : 40 Jesus said: “I am the resurrection.
