"Dear children!
Also today I am with you and I am looking at you and blessing you, and I am not losing hope that this world will change for the good and that peace will reign in the hearts of men. Joy will begin to reign in the world because you have opened yourselves to my call and to God’s love. The Holy Spirit is changing a multitude of those who have said ‘yes’. Therefore I desire to say to you: thank you for having responded to my call."
The Baptism of Our Lord
The Baptism of Jesus
Matthew 3: 13-17
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
Why did Jesus want to be Baptized? He was divine and sinless - why then would He get baptized?
Jesus wanted to be baptized to show us His humanity and to let us know that He took on ALL of our SINS to save us at His death.
By His baptism, we see the greatest gift we can ever receive, the gift of salvation and forgiveness that would come from His death on the cross and the Resurrection.
Jesus is God. Jesus was man and God. Jesus came to save us - John knew Jesus didn't need atonement.
Thank you dear Jesus for these great gifts! Amen

Dear children; Today I call you to unity (communion) in Jesus, my Son. My motherly heart prays that you may comprehend that you are God's family. Through the spiritual freedom of will, which the Heavenly Father has given you, you are called to become cognizant (to come to the knowledge) of the truth, the good or the evil. May prayer and fasting open your hearts and help you to discover the Heavenly Father through my Son. In discovering the Father, your life will be directed to carrying out of God's will and the realization of God's family, in the way that my Son desires (wishes). I will not leave you alone on this path. Thank you.
Mirjana felt that she could say to Our Lady: ' We have all come to you with our sufferings and crosses. Help us, we implore you.' Our Lady extended her hands towards us and said: Open your hearts to me. Give your sufferings to me. The Mother will help.
