Majka Elvira otkrila tajnu kako pobijediti iscrpljenost, umor, depresiju i strah
SLUŽITI DRUGIMA
„Nikada u životu nisam imala puno vremena da razmišljam o sebi, kako se osjećam, jesam li sretna ili tužna. Uvijek sam se brinula za druge i shvatila sam da su oni dali odlučujući pečat mom ljudskom, kršćanskom i vjerskom sazrijevanju…“

Svaki dan sam sve zadovoljnija svojim životom, sretna sam što sam se rodila, no najsretnija sam zbog toga što mi je Gospodin namijenio takav život da više nemam vremena brinuti se za sebe. Nikada u životu nisam imala puno vremena da razmišljam o sebi, kako se osjećam, jesam li sretna ili tužna. Uvijek sam se brinula za druge i shvatila sam da su oni dali odlučujući pečat mom ljudskom, kršćanskom i vjerskom sazrijevanju. Dugo godina sretno sam udana za sina tesara iz Nazareta, koji je i sam po zanimanju tesar. Hodeći s Njim u neprekidnoj novosti života, svaki dan sve više otkrivam da služiti zapravo znači kraljevati.
„Okružiti se ljudima kojima treba pomoći zapravo je velik dar“
Nema kraljevstva većeg i bogatijeg, ljepšeg i privlačnijeg od čovjekova srca. Staviti se na raspolaganje Bogu Ocu da bi služio čovjeku, uistinu te čini kraljem. Otkrit ću vam tajnu kako vladati, kako pobijediti iscrpljenost, umor, depresiju, strah: pogledajte oko sebe i pružite ruku nekomu komu je teško. Okružiti se ljudima kojima treba pomoći zapravo je velik dar. Tu mislim najprije na tvog oca, tvog muža, tvoju ženu, tvog brata… Tako stalno pomičemo granice svoje izdržljivosti i postajemo jači. Samo vlastitim iskustvom možemo spoznati što znači: „onaj tko izgubi svoj život, naći će ga“. Kažem često djevojkama i mladićima u Zajednici, mojim suradnicima i prijateljima, da nas čak ni grijeh ne treba omesti u našoj težnji da ljubimo. Ponekad se osjećamo blokiranima i slabima jer se usredotočimo na svoje rane i kukamo nad sobom. Pokušajmo ih, naprotiv, predati Gospodinu! Da nas On oslobodi bremena naših grijeha i da nas pošalje naviještati.
„Nikoga više ne zanima što si bio dosad, tvoja prošlost, tvoji grijesi: danas je prilika da postaneš nov čovjek…“
Svijet i danas, kao i nekoć, očekuje poruku nade, vijest o uskrsnuću, vijest da je smrt zauvijek poražena, da se jedan čovjek dobrovoljno predao na smrt i platio otkupninu za sve. Danas Bog čeka na naše “da” da bi ta vijest odjeknula posvuda, među bogatima i među siromasima, među profesorima i među nepismenima, među dobrima i zlima, muškarcima, ženama i djecom… Nikoga više ne zanima što si bio dosad, tvoja prošlost, tvoji grijesi: danas je prilika da postaneš nov čovjek, drukčiji, slobodan. Govorim vam to kao živ svjedok, kao žena koja već godinama kontemplira tu nevidljivu snagu uskrsnulog Krista. Ta snaga nastavlja oslobađati mlade, obitelji i djecu, ozdravlja bolesne, vraća vjeru sumnjičavima, pouzdanje klonulima. Isus želi da budemo glasnici nade, svjetlo svijeta, da preko našeg života On bude prisutniji i vidljiviji na Zemlji, da odgovorimo na Njegov poziv, da izgovorimo svoje “da”. Neka nam Jutarnja zvijezda, Marija, koja je radosnim srcem kontemplirala događaje uskrsnog jutra, pomogne da prepoznamo slavu uskrsnulog Krista, njezina Sina.

Pope Pius XII witnessed the Fatima “miracle of the sun” while walking in the Vatican gardens
𝘐𝘯 𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘧 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦, "𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 ‘𝘮𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘯,’ 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩.”
In a handwritten note the pontiff wrote, “I have seen the ‘miracle of the sun,’ this is the pure truth.”On October 13, 1917, thousands of individuals witnessed a miraculous vision near Fatima, Portugal. According to a local newspaper, “Before the astonished eyes of the crowd, whose aspect was biblical as they stood bare-headed, eagerly searching the sky, the sun trembled, made sudden incredible movements outside all cosmic laws—the sun ‘danced’ according to the typical expression of the people.”
This experience was confirmed by believers and non-believers alike; the event had been foretold by Our Lady of Fatima to three shepherd children. The Vatican confirmed the authenticity of the miracle and the site has become a source of numerous healings and miracles ever since.
Five months earlier, on May 13, 1917, the same day that the three shepherd children began seeing visions of Our Lady, Msgr. Eugenio Pacelli was consecrated an archbishop in the Sistine Chapel. Pacelli would later be elected to the papacy and become Pope Pius XII on March 2, 1939.
He had a deep love of the Virgin Mary and would consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1942, in honor of the 25th anniversary of the Fatima apparitions.
In 1950, Pope Pius XII was considering the proclamation of the dogma of Mary’s assumption into Heaven. While in the midst of prayer in the Vatican gardens, Pius XII saw something miraculous catch his eye.
According to Zenit, Pope Pius XII wrote a handwritten note where he says, “I have seen the ‘miracle of the sun,’ this is the pure truth.” Then he went on to further describe what he saw.

He saw this phenomenon on four separate occasions and was convinced that it was a favorable sign from God that he should declare the dogma of the Assumption of Mary.
Pius XII knew the events of Fatima well and conversed with one of the visionaries, Sister Lucia, who confided to him the “third secret.”Prayer for Pope Leo

Heavenly Father, we know there is no circumstance that can separate us from you, that every action of ours acquires an infinite value if lived in your presence, continually offered to you. You have given us Pope Leo to be the Vicar of your Son on earth. We ask that you continue to allow us to benefit from his guidance, that he might continue to teach, sanctify, and govern your Church.
Just as the Church gathered around St. Peter and "prayer by the Church was fervently being made to God on his behalf," we gather as the whole Church to pray for Peter today.
Lord Jesus, the one whom you love is ill ...
Holy Spirit, Giver of Life, be strength for Pope Leo and fill him with your comfort.
Holy Mary, we turn to you with trust, for you are the Mother whom Jesus has given, and you are attentive to all our needs. Mother full of love, we entrust to you Pope Leo who is today among our most urgent intentions, as well as all of the sick and suffering and those who accompany them and their doctors and nurses. Mother of the Church, under your cloak we find refuge; may Pope Leo be supported by your maternal help in this trial. Sweet Mother, Health of the Sick, obtain for our Holy Father the gift of complete healing and a long life in service of your Son and His Church.
Glorious saints and angels, join us in praying for Pope Leo, for his spiritual and physical health and complete recovery. Amen.

Much of this prayer is an adaptation of prayers written by Pope Leo himself, including the prayer he recently prayed in Lourdes (see here and here) as well as his introduction to the Practice of the Presence of God. See also the Catechism on the role of a bishop and the pope, and Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 12, and John, Chapter 11.
