Almost Harvest Time in Medjugorje

 

The time for harvest is near in Medjugorje, why is this important and what does this teach us?

The grape rows and grape bunches as pictured just a few days ago, are almost ready for harvest in the next coming days. As you look at these pictures, and ponder the internal joy that harvest brings, we would like for you to meditate on these few thoughts from A Friend of Medjugorje:

“We have had an overflowing cup of God’s future plans being revealed through Our Lady’s messages of Medjugorje. For us, in community, we can see the new life Our Lady is bringing us toward. Adam was told by God to cultivate and to care for the Garden of Eden, to plant seeds of every seed-bearing plant. After he sinned, God still held him to the ground and said, “By the sweat of your brow, you shall eat.” Farming is the only occupation ordained directly by God. Any place known as the country, as it advances toward birthing a city, takes man further and further from the grip of the land. By doing so, he relies more and more upon man to sustain him. God can become more remote…

“Our Lady calls us to live a life more simple. When we surround ourselves closer to God’s creation, we are refreshed, as opposed to being dragged down with the city’s burdens, its enticements and what the city demands. Our Lady calls us to open up to God.

May 25, 1989

“Dear children, I am calling you to openness to God. You see, little children, how nature is opening herself and is giving life and fruits. In the same way I am calling you to a life with God and a complete surrender to Him. Little children, I am with you and unceasingly I desire to lead you into the joy of life…”

“People, away from the errors of the city, experience more joy, the joy of life.

Adam was connected to the ground by God’s command. Is it, therefore, not logical that the man who is close to the soil will see and meet God in a more profound way? Why should it be otherwise?

Vineyards in Medjugorje September 2010

What do these rows of grapes tell us? Do they speak to us about the future? Re-read the above paragraphs and meditate on what God desires to tell us.


Vineyards in Medjugorje September 2010

The fruit of the labor of man, blessed by God. The grape harvest is a time to meditate on God's providence in caring for man. Man in collaboration with God, by the sweat of his brow, God in collaboration with man, by His blessing.
