-- photo descriptions are below Gospa's Medjugorje message while the Mir-Peace pilgrimage group was there, June 25, 1988.  (EN)  (HR) Gospina poruka, 25. lipanj 1988.

(ENGLISH) "Dear children! I am calling you to that love which is loyal and pleasing to God. Little children, love bears everything bitter and difficult for the sake of Jesus who is love. Therefore, dear children, pray that God come to your aid, not however according to your desire, but according to His love. Surrender yourself to God so that He may hear you, console you and forgive everything inside you which is a hindrance on the way of love. In this way God can move your life, and you will grow in love. Dear children, glorify God with a hymn of love so that God's love may be able to grow in you day by day to its fullness. 

Thank you for having responded to my call."

(HRVATSKI) “Draga djeco! Danas vas pozivam na ljubav, koja je Bogu odana i ugodna. Dječice, ljubav sve prihvaća, sve što je tvrdo i gorko, radi Isusa koji je ljubav. Zato, draga djeco, molite Boga da vam dođe u pomoć, ali ne po vašim željama, nego po svojoj ljubavi. Bogu se predajte, da vas on može liječiti, tješiti i praštati vam sve ono što je u vama zapreka na putu ljubavi. Bog može oblikovati vašživot i vi ćete rasti u ljubavi. Slavite Boga, dječice, hvalospjevom ljubavi, da bi ljubav Božja mogla rasti iz dana u dan do svoje punine. 

Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mom pozivu! ”

Thank God for Gospa's school of love that she's been teaching those of us who will open our hearts, so we can help those that do not yet know how to trust God!

1) our MirPeace group gathering by the side of St James Croatian Catholic church for the day's activities. There wasn't much constructed/built in that area yet as there is today. 

2) a few of the young men in the group, stopped at a small locally-owned fruit or food grocery shop enjoying a beer together. 

3) the cross on top of Cross Mountain (Krizevac in Croatian language). 

4) golden fields with lovely poppies flowers along the path as we walk along the path on the way back for evening daily holy mass and prayer program either from Krizevac, Apparition Hill or to meet one of the visionaries. Excellent time to soak up the sun, pastoral serenity, natural beauty.
