  1. Medjugorje and the Call to Prayer Can the messages of Medjugorje teach us a new way of praying, one that will unite rather than divide the world? Kathryn Westover kwestover@prayingwithonevoice.com

  2. The Call To Prayer Aren’t there already enough books out there about praying? Medjugorje And The Call To Prayer

  3. The Messages of Medjugorje “When you pray, your heart is open and God loves you with special love and gives you special graces” July 25, 2005 “Without love, dear children, you can do nothing” May 29, 1986 Medjugorje And The Call To Prayer

  4. More Messages “Love your Serbian Orthodox and Muslim brothers, and the atheists who persecute you” “Prayer is the only way to save the human race”……. Medjugorje And The Call To Prayer

  5. Dare We Hope? “The dream of being able to save the world appears, at best, idealistic. At worst, it leads to prayers that can be destructive, as shown when our enemies pray for disasters greater than Katrina to strike us.” Medjugorje And The Call To Prayer

  6. The Need For Common Ground • The victims of Katrina had something in common • Need for security • We need a new understanding of praying, one that unites instead of divides our world Medjugorje And The Call To Prayer

  7. Effective Prayer It’s not just what we want that has to change We have to “understand the reality of the power that will help us get it”. Medjugorje And The Call To Prayer

  8. Structured Prayer…. “is composed of the three elements of Love….. It begins with the acceptance of grace, the gift of Love that flows to all creatures in the creative act of Love. It moves on, in Love’s redemptive flow, to the giving of Love for others. It culminates in the glorious mystery of Love, when the created begins to unite its will with the Creator, through the strengthening flow of Love.” Medjugorje And The Call To Prayer

  9. It’s Not Just Story • In the harsh reality of life there are often no happy endings • Like the people of New Orleans, we all have to learn how to find Love, both in the midst of loss, and afterwards • Structured prayers help us to do this, help us on our “Pilgrim’s Progress”, as we move, even if very slowly, to unite our will with the God who is Love. Medjugorje And The Call To Prayer

  10. The Pilgrim’s Prayer Path “Moving forward to connect with all other souls on the same journey.” “Most of us need to rely on a “Cheat Sheet….so that years after New Orleans has been rebuilt, and the characters in its story are long forgotten, its lessons stay with us.” Medjugorje And The Call To Prayer
