Medjugorje Message, April 30, 1984
Marija asked Our Lady, "Dear Madonna, why didn't you give me a message for the parish on Thursday?" Our Lady replied:
“
I
do not wish to
force
anyone to do that which he/she neither feels nor desires, even though I had special messages for the parish by which I wanted to awaken the faith of every believer. But only a really small number has accepted my Thursday messages. In the beginning there were quite a few. But its become a routine affair for them. And now recently some are asking for the message out of curiosity, and not out of faith and devotion to my Son and me.

Medjugorje Message, August 14, 1986
“
D
ear children! My call to you is that your prayer be the joy of an encounter with the Lord. I am not able to guide you as long as you yourselves do not experience joy in prayer. From day to day I desire to lead you more and more in prayer, but I do not wish to
force
you. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Medjugorje Message, September 4, 1986
“
D
ear children! Today again I am calling you to prayer and fasting. You know, dear children, that with your help I am able to accomplish everything and
force
Satan not to be seducing to evil and to remove himself from this place. Dear children, Satan is lurking for each individual. Especially in everyday affairs he wants to spread confusion among each one of you. Therefore, dear children, my call to you is that your day would be only prayer and complete surrender to God. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Medjugorje Message, October 9, 1986
“
D
ear children! You know that I desire to lead you on the way of holiness, but I do not want to compel you to be saints by
force
. I desire that each of you by your own little self-denials help yourself and me so I can lead you from day to day closer to holiness. Therefore, dear children, I do not desire to
force
you to observe the messages. But rather this long time that I am with you is a sign that I love you immeasurably and what I desire of each individual is to become holy. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Medjugorje Message, July 25, 1989
“
D
ear children! Today I am calling you to renew your hearts. Open yourselves to God and surrender to him all your difficulties and crosses so, God may turn everything into joy. Little children, you cannot open yourselves to God if you do not pray. Therefore, from today, decide to consecrate a time in the day only for an encounter with God in silence. In that way you will be able, with God, to witness my presence here. Little children, I do not wish to
force
you. Rather freely give God your time, like children of God. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Medjugorje Message, July 2, 2008 - Apparitions to Mirjana
“
D
ear children! With motherly love I desire to encourage you to love your neighbour. May my Son be the source of that love. He, who could have done everything by
force
, chose love and gave an example to you. Also today, through me, God expresses immeasurable goodness to you and, you children, are obliged to respond to it. With equal goodness and generosity behave towards the souls whom you meet. May your love convert them. In that way my Son and His love will resurrect in you. Thank you.

Our Lady added: Your shepherds should be in your hearts and your prayers. Message of Our Lady to Mirjana Soldo on September 2, 2008.
