I DESIRE TO LEAD YOU
The election of new leaders, and changes in government, is often an outcome of a dissatisfied spirit among groups of people. Unhappy with the current state of affairs and administration, change is called for. Let someone else take the lead and do better.
But in reality, so often the new regime fails to satisfy all of the people all of the time, and eventually another switch at the top is demanded.
Following leaders can seem at times to be akin to the blind leading the blind – and the pit is often close by.
Thomas Aquinas believed the best form of government was monarchy, because it best served the common good. He argued that the goal of any ruler should be the unity of peace.
In the Book of Wisdom, kings and governors are reminded that their sovereignty and power is a gift from God, but those who act in ungodly fashion “will come trembling to the reckoning of their sins, and their crimes, confronting them, will accuse them”.
So we should pray for our leaders, of all kinds and persuasion.
Our Lady at Medjugorje invites us to pray for her intentions and plans. She is a monarch that calls for unity of peace in hearts and in the world. She is the Queen of Peace
With her Medjugorje messages Our Lady has been conducting a long-running campaign for change – for 44 years. She also recognises the difficulties that we find ourselves in and presents a solution for our needs. She too wants to lead us to a better future. She also makes promises, that if we listen and respond to her messages, then she will lead us to a place in our life where we can live in peace.
She too is a leader and asks for our mandate, our ‘yes’. If we decide for Our Lady and her plan of salvation then she promises to lead us. As to where and how, allow Our Lady to voice some of her manifesto:
• I desire to lead you, but you do not wish to listen to my messages...
• I wish to lead you further in love...
• I wish to lead you daily more and more in prayer...
• I desire to lead you on the way of holiness...
• I want to lead you all along the way of conversion...
• I am here, dear children, to help you and to lead you to heaven...
• Be of just and innocent heart that I may lead you to your Father...
• I wish to renew you and lead you with my heart to the heart of Jesus...
• Listen to me and permit me to lead you to this in a motherly way...
• Give your hand to me, your mother, and permit me to lead you...
• I come to you today to lead you on the way of humility and meekness...
• I will be with you and will lead you...
• I am with you, to lead you towards what your heart yearns for...
• I desire to lead you to the joy of your life...
• With my love I will teach you simplicity of life and richness of mercy and I will lead you to my Son...
Allowing Our Blessed Mother to lead us will bring change, a continual conversion of our heart – ‘change we need’.
• Today I call you to give me your heart so I can change it to be like mine...
• Pray with your whole heart and day by day to change your life...
• God blesses you day after day and desires a change of your life...
• I invite you to change your life because you have taken a path of misery, a path of ruin...
• I call you to begin to change your life from the beginning and that you decide for conversion not with words but with your life...
• Little children, in the silence of the heart, remain with Jesus, so that He may change and transform you with His love...
• Conversion will be easy for all who desire to accept it...
• Dear children, I am calling you individually to conversion...
And just as the politicians point out the dangers of following the wrong leader, so does Our Lady warn us about the danger of making the wrong choice:
• You should not allow him (satan) to lead you and your life...
• These days Satan wants to frustrate my plans. Pray that his plan not be realised...
• Satan wants to work still more fiercely to take away your joy from each one of you...
• Dear children, do not allow Satan to get control of your hearts...
• Satan is strong and wants to destroy and deceive you in many ways...
• Pray, because Satan wants to destroy my plans of peace...
