Over 30 years ago, January 2, 1985, at 11:30pm at night at Krizevac(Cross Mountain), the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared surrounded by five #angels, and she, Gospa Our Lady said:

"I am very happy to have been able to come here for three years, thanks to the prayers of believers. Continue to pray thusly. A part of my plan has been realized. God blesses in a special way all those who are here. You can return happily to your homes. You do not immediately understand the reasons. Offer your prayers of thanksgiving for next week."

Apparition Hill, where the Blessed Virgin Mary, known in #Medjugorje as #Gospa, Our Lady Queen of Peace first started appearing to the visionaries in 1981... After all these decades, the rough path and rugged rocks have become more level by the many thousands of pilgrims worldwide, some of whom have traveled there with our Mir-PEACE pilgrimages.This Advent, let's remember what she keeps reminding us, and in the Bible reading below, "prepare the way for the Lord":

(EN) "...The world is at war because hearts are full of hatred and jealousy. In the eyes, little children, peacelessness is seen because you have not permitted Jesus to be born in your lives. Seek Him, pray, and He will give Himself to you in the Child who is joy and peace..."
~part of Medjugorje message November 25, 2019. (HR) "...

Bible: Isaiah 40:3-5 A voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain.And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together.For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

BE A LIGHT (Mir-Peace spiritual pilgrimage group motto) :-)

Gospa's MEDJUGORJE MESSAGE, 1996:

"Dear children! Today, again, I invite you to pray, so that through prayer, fasting and small sacrifices you may prepare yourselves for the coming of Jesus. 

May this time, little children, be a time of grace for you. 

Use every moment and do good, for only in this way will you feel the birth of Jesus in your hearts. 

If with your life you give an example and become a sign of God's love, joy will prevail in the hearts of men. 

Thank you for having responded to my call."

Gospa, the Blessed Virgin Mary: 

"little children, I desire that your decisions be free before God, because He has given you freedom. 

Therefore, pray, so that, free from any influence of Satan, 

we may decide only for God."
~Our Lady Queen of Peace, 1989.

The United States of America is observing Veteran's Day this weekend, remembering the sacrifice and dedication of men and women for their country and fellow citizens. And their families... One nation... under God...with liberty and justice for all. 

Let's all remember the reason we remember in gratitude & hope, as do all our brothers and sisters in countries around the world, people of good will in all nations. 

May we learn from history. 

History repeats itself, (#war #genocide #hatred) but we can help stop that & create a better future.
Be safe! Be responsible. 

Mirjana MEDJUGORJE MESSAGE - love light life - care for all souls

Gospa's MEDJUGORJE MESSAGE thru visionary Mirjana - 

love light life - care for all souls...

So much good advice! in the apparition today. 

“Dear children, my beloved Son (Jesus Christ) always prayed and glorified the Heavenly Father. He always said everything to Him and trusted in His will. This is what you, my children, should also do, because the Heavenly Father always listens to His children. One heart in one heart: love, light and life. 

The Heavenly Father gave Himself through a human face, and this face is the face of my Son. You, apostles of my love, you should always carry the face of my Son in your hearts and your thoughts. You should always think of His love and His sacrifice. You should pray to always feel His presence, because, apostles of my love, that is the way for you to help all those who do not know my Son, who have not come to know His love. My children, read the book of the Gospel. It is always something new, it is what binds you to my Son who was born to bring the words of life to all of my children and to sacrifice Himself for all. 

Apostles of my love, carried by the love for my Son, bring love and peace to all of your brothers. Judge no one. Love everyone according to the love for my Son. In this way, you will also be caring for your soul, and that (your soul) is what is most precious, which truly belongs to you. Thank you.”

Ahhh, the beautiful scenery, fresh air, some free time, make new friends, rest, experience local culture & customs, stroll through open fields, have a cappucino at cafe, enjoy,.. We carry the petitions of all who cannot be there with us and pray for them, pray the rosary, adoration...

Mirjana Medjugorje message, October 2, 2019

Today, Oct 2, 2019, visionary Mirjana said that Our Lady gave her the following monthly message for the world:

(HR) GOSPINA PORUKA PREKO VIDJELICE MIRJANE, 02. LISTOPADA 2019.

---

(English) "Dear children,

The will and the love of the Heavenly Father make it so that I am among you, that I, with a motherly love, may help the growth of faith in your heart, for you to be able to truly comprehend the purpose of earthly life and the greatness of the heavenly one.

My children, the earthly life is the way to eternity, to truth, and to life—to my Son.

I desire to lead you on that way. You, my children—you who always thirst for more love, truth, and faith—need to know that there is only one spring from which you can drink. It is trust in the Heavenly Father; it is trust in His love.

Abandon yourselves completely to His will and do not be afraid. Everything that is best for you, everything that leads you to eternal life, will be given to you. You will comprehend that the purpose of life is not always to want and take, but to love and give. You will have true peace and true love. You will be apostles of love.

By your example, you will make it so that my children who do not know my Son and His love may desire to come to know Him.

My children, apostles of my love, adore my Son with me and love Him above all. Always strive to live in His truth. Thank you."

Thank

(Hrvatski - #Croatian language)

GOSPINA PORUKA PREKO VIDJELICE MIRJANE, 02. LISTOPADA 2019.Draga djeco, Volja i ljubav Nebeskoga Oca čine da sam tu među vama; da vam majčinskom ljubavlju pomognem rastu vjere u srcu, da biste uistinu mogli shvatiti svrhu zemaljskoga života i veličinu nebeskoga.
Djeco moja, zemaljski život je put ka vječnosti, istini, životu, ka mome Sinu. Tim putem vas želim povesti. Vi, djeco moja, vi koji uvijek žeđate za više ljubavi, istine i vjere, znajte da je samo jedan izvor s kojega možete piti: pouzdanje u Nebeskog Oca, pouzdanje u Njegovu ljubav. Prepustite se u potpunosi Njegovoj volji i nebojte se. Sve ono što je najbolje za vas , sve što vas vodi k vječnom životu ,biti će vam dato. Shvatiti ćete da svrha života nije uvijek htjeti i imati već ljubiti i davati. Imati ćete istinski mir i istinsku ljubav. Biti ćete apostoli ljubavi. Činiti ćete vašim primjerom da ona djeca koja ne poznaju moga Sina i Njegovu ljubav željet će upoznati Ga. Djeco moja, apostoli moje ljubavi, klanjajte se samnom mome Sinu i ljubite Ga iznad svega. Uvijek nastojte živjeti u Njegovoj istini.
Hvala vam.”

Medjugorje message - Gifts: love your neighbor. have mercy, a pure heart. PRAYERS!

Blue Cross on Apparition Hill, #Medjugorje 

Live an unbreakable bond with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ ... with love for one's neighbor, mercy, and a pure heart." 

May our prayers be flowers for Gospa, for every soul, and God's Will.

 OUR LADYS SEPTEMBER 2, 2019 message 
through visionary MIRJANA at Blue Cross on Apparition Hill: 

 Dear children, Pray! Pray the Rosary every day, that wreath of flowers that connects me directly as a mother to your pain, suffering, desires and hopes. 

Apostles of my love, I am with you by the grace and love of my Son and I ask you for prayer. The world needs your prayers so much that souls are converted. Open with full confidence your hearts to my Son, and He will write in them a summary of His word — and that is love. 

Live an unbreakable bond with the Sacred Heart of My Son. My children, as a mother, I tell you that it is high time you knelt before my Son, to acknowledge him with your God, the center of your life. 

Bring him gifts, what He loves most, which is love for one's neighbor, mercy, and a pure heart. 

Apostles of my love, many of my children do not yet recognize my Son as their God, they have not yet met his love. But by your prayer, said from a pure and open heart, the gifts that you offer to my Son will make even the hardest hearts open. 

Apostles of my love, the power of prayer said from the heart, mighty prayer full of love — changes the world. 
Therefore, my children, pray, pray, pray. I'm with you. Thank you. 

Medjugorje message - your refuge will be the Heart of my Son Jesus

If we pray from the heart, and make it a true part of our lives, our refuge will be the Heart of Our Lady's Son Jesus Christ, no matter what trials we face as God's children. Prayer will be our life and joy. 

(EN) Gospa's monthly Medjugorje message, July 25, 2019

(HR) Gospina Poruka, 25. srpanj 2019

(ENGLISH) “Dear children! 

My call for you is prayer. 

May prayer be a joy for you and a wreath which binds you to God. 

Little children, trials will come and you will not be strong, and sin will reign but, if you are mine, you will win, because your refuge will be the Heart of my Son Jesus. 

Therefore, little children, return to prayer until prayer becomes life for you in the day and the night. 

Thank you for having responded to my call.”

(HRVATSKI - Croatian language) „Draga djeco! 

Moj poziv je za vas molitva. Neka molitva bude za vas radost i vijenac koji vas veže s Bogom. Dječice, doći će kušnje i vi nećete biti jaki i grijeh će vladati, ali ako ste moji pobijedit ćete, jer vaše će utočište biti srce moga Sina Isusa. Zato, dječice, vratite se molitvi dok vam molitva ne postane život u danu i noći. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu.“

Medjugorje anniversary 6-2019

Mir-Peace pilgrims are #blessed and happy to help others by helping families in #Medjugorje hand out water to the hot, thirsty pilgrims who walked miles today in the annual Peace March, praying for peace. 

Thank you, Radiopostaja MIR Međugorje! 

Hvala! Hvala Bogu! 

I see my sister, and all of you! So many good fruits, good energy ... Wishing this and other selfless events made international news more often. This is real news, good news. I remember how SUPER it was last time I was able to travel there and join in. :-) 
Think positive, good thoughts everyone, today, this Monday, and live it! no matter what you are up against. Have a great day!
************************************************************
Mir-Peace pilgrims are #blessed and happy to help others by helping families in #Medjugorje hand out water to the hot, thirsty pilgrims who walked miles today in the annual Peace March, praying for peace. World peace. Peace in our hearts, every soul.
(and thank you to the youngster who helped hold up our sign. :-) ) Our Pilgrimage group, as every year, is at our Elez host family's home. The peace walk pilgrims are arriving at Saint James Croatian Catholic Church nearby, some barefoot. What a sacrifice! That is true love, like the love that Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary show us how to live in the New Testament of the Bible.
God's peace be with you all!

Happy Father's Day! Love is patient...

  Love is patient, love is kind... 

May your life, by humble love, show the truth, with patience and boundless love. 

All of it is the world's best advice! :-) 

and Heaven-sent.

 Medjugorje message: ".. I call you to a humble devotion. Your hearts need to be just. May your crosses be your means in the battle against the sins of the present time. May your tools be patience and boundless love, a love that knows to wait and which will make you capable of recognizing God's signs, that your life, by humble love, may show the truth to all those who seek it in the darkness of lies. My children, my apostles, help me to open the paths to my Son (Jesus Christ)... 

~Gospa, the Blessed Virgin Mary in Medjugorje,  October 2, 2010. 

  New Testament verse: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 

8 Love never fails...

~Corinthians

Medjugorje Message today June 2, 2019 - LOVE - FORGIVE

My children,

forgiveness is the most exalted form of love. 

... above all to love without limits. 

Our Lady's Medjugorje message today, 6-2-2019, through visionary Mirjana Soldo, given when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to her at Blue Cross on Apparition Hill.

“Dear children, only a pure and an open heart will make it such that you may truly come to know my Son and that all those who do not know His love may come to know it through you. Only love will make you comprehend that it is stronger than death because true love conquered death and made it so that death does not exist. 

My children, forgiveness is the most exalted form of love. You, as apostles of my love, must pray that you be strong in spirit and that you could comprehend and forgive. You, apostles of my love, by understanding and forgiveness, are giving an example of love and mercy. To be able to comprehend and forgive is a gift for which it is necessary to pray, and to nurture it. 

By forgiveness you are showing that you know how to love. Just look, my children, how the Heavenly Father loves you with a great love, with understanding, forgiveness and justice—how He gives me, the Mother of your hearts, to you. And here I am among you to bless you with a motherly blessing, to call you to prayer, to fasting—to tell you to believe, to hope, to forgive, to pray for your shepherds, and above all to love without limits. 

My children, follow me. My way is the way of peace and love, the way of my Son. It is the way that leads to the triumph of my heart. Thank you.”

Pope Francis has decided to authorize pilgrimages to Medjugorje, which can now be officially organized by dioceses and parishes and will no longer take place only in a private capacity which as has so far been the case. The announcement was made today during Mass, at the parish shrine which has become a destination for millions of pilgrims, by the Apostolic Nuncio Luigi Pezzuto in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Archbishop Henryk Hoser, the Holy See's Special Apostolic Visitator.

Mir-peace spiritual pilgrimages have never doubted the authenticity. We travel there every year. Thank God! We know the people and their strong faith in this Croatian Catholic Church parish, Bosnia Hercegovina, Europe.
We first saw this announcement today shared by Ivan Dominik Iličić:
"Nekako se poklapi da uz nase sinoćnje pjevanje pjesme “Došli smo ti Majko draga”, na koncertu Progledaj srcem u Areni, dođe i ova divna vijest 🙂službeno su odobrena Hodočašća u Međugorje 🙂#Međugorje #Progledajsrcem #Progledajsrcem2019#Kraljicamira #Gospa #Isus " with link to Croatian article,
