MEDJUGORJE | JANSENISM and the new SEMI-PELAGIANISTS
...it seems curious that the Mother of God should promote emotive humanism over faith and reason...yet this is precisely what one sees in the message which is purveyed on a popular MEDJUGORJE blogloid....
Dear children, pray and open your inner self to the Lord so that He makes of you a harmonious and beautiful flower for Paradise.

...so it seems the Mother of God is espousing the heresy of Semi-Pelagianism...such that humans on their own intiative may dispose themselves to the interior workings of grace through their own power...by asking us to open our inner self..the Mother of God is directly contradicting the council of Trent teaching on Justification....
CANON III.-If any one saith, that without the prevenient inspiration of the Holy Ghost, and without his help, man can believe, hope, love, or be penitent as he ought, so as that the grace of Justification may be bestowed upon him; let him be anathema.
Trent Session 6 Canon 3
....indeed one may open themselves up to the working of the Holy Spirit...yet this prompting or Prevenient aid must precede the intiative of the person...and this is echoed in the Gospel...
I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
John 15:5 Douay Rheims
...and so we must carefully discern what sort of spirit is at work in these subtle messages which craftily put us ahead of the working of God...indeed this is the hallmark of the MEDJUGORJE phenomenon...putting oneself ahead of the judgement of the magisterium....let us all proceed with prudence temperance and in a spirit of obedience...amen
