In the School of Love

by Slavko Barbarić, Riehle Foundation Staff (Editor), SARCEVIC (Translator)

Christ's new commandment to us was, Love One Another. He repeatedly admonished all who came to listen to His words to "love" as the basis for their earthly existence. He still pleads to His people today for that same special commitment. Unfortuntely, we seem no closer to understanding this new commandment today, than were the people of Jesus' time. The world devestated by violence, greed, hatred, and pride, is still searching for peace and love. In this book, In the School of Love, Fr. Slavko Barbaric has assembled many of the messages given by Our Lady in Medjugorje along with his own meditations into a blueprint for this struggling world and its need to find peace and love.

Predivni biseri fra Slavka Barbarića, kratka razmišljanja na temu Gospinih poruka. Gospa nas sve želi učiti u školi ljubavi. Na kraju se nalazi molitva za ljubav i krunica ljubavi.

This is a beautiful book. I think Fr. Slavko Barbaric's writings are very inspiring. In this book he took messages from the Blessed Virgin Mary to the children in Medjugorje from the 1980s and he interpreted and applied them in practical and challenging ways. The pages in my book are heavily underlined as much of what he wrote hit close to home for me. I highly recommend this book to anyone who follows information about the apparitions in Medjugorje. Fr. Slavko died on Move 24, 200, at 3:30 PM on Cross Mountain after having prayed the Stations of the Cross with his parishioners.

Reread in early 2020 as inspiration with bedtime prayers. The book is still fabulous but did not work as well as a family read aloud for inspiration with my family. Probably best for personal use.
