(EN) Gospa's Medjugorje message for all of us, 

 December 25, 2023.
(HR) Gospina poruka, 25. prosinac 2023

(ENGLISH)

“Dear children! I am carrying my Son Jesus to you to fill your hearts with peace, because He is peace. Little children, seek Jesus in the silence of your heart that He be born anew. The world needs Jesus, therefore seek Him through prayer, because He gives Himself daily to each of you.'' 

Today Our Lady came solemnly dressed with little Jesus in her arms. Jesus extended His hand in a sign of blessing as Our Lady prayed over us in Aramaic (the language she spoke on earth).

Gospina poruka, 25. prosinac 2023, za svi nas.

„Draga djeco! Nosim vam mog sina Isusa da vaša srca ispuni mirom jer on je mir. Dječice, tražite Isusa u tišini vašeg srca da se rodi iznova. Svijet je potreban Isusa zato, dječice, tražite ga preko molitve jer on se daje svakodnevno svakome od vas.“

Danas je Gospa došla u svečanoj odjeći i s malim Isusom u naručju, i Isus je ispružio ruku u znak blagoslova, a Gospa je molila nad nama na aramejskom jeziku.

good fruits in Medjugorje vineyard

 The fruit of peace is love and the fruit of love is forgiveness.  

(EN) Gospa's Medjugorje messages for the world through visionary Marija, January 25, 1996

(HR) Gospina poruka, 25. siječanj 1996. 

 (ENGLISH) "Dear Children! Today I invite you to decide for peace. Pray that God give you the true peace. Live peace in your hearts and you will understand, dear children, that peace is the gift of God. Dear children, without love you cannot live peace. The fruit of peace is love and the fruit of love is forgiveness. I am with you and I invite all of you, little children, that before all else forgive in the family and then you will be able to forgive others. Thank you for having responded to my call."

St James Croatian Catholic Church decades ago, when the grape vineyards were still growing nearby. Mir-Peace pilgrimage throwback thursday memory. A happy place in our hearts. Every day!

(HRVATSKI - Croatian language)

Poruka, 25. siječanj 1996.

“Draga djeco! Danas vas pozivam da se odlučite za mir. Molite Boga da vam dadne pravi mir. Živite mir u svojim srcima i shvatit ćete, draga djeco, da je mir Božji dar. Draga djeco, bez ljubavi ne možete živjeti mir. Plod mira je ljubav, a plod ljubavi praštanje. Ja sam s vama i sve vas pozivam, dječice, da najprije praštate u obitelji, a onda ćete moći praštati drugima. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mom pozivu! ”

 Rare video during Gospa's apparition to the visionaries 

in Medjugorje, December, 1984, 

at St James Croatian Catholic church.

(VIDEO) Rijetka snimka Gospinog ukazanja u Međugorskoj crkvi 1984 godine, by medjugorje-news.

https://medjugorje-news.com/video-rijetka-snimka-gospinog-ukazanja-u-medugorskoj-crkvi-1984-godine/?fbclid=IwAR1FWihki-yHgiukK1zOfBbR7AUscsvpaT9yGuZ9095d-Z0nfmagTuVTSMY  

Although we all can't see or hear the Blessed Virgin Mary when she appears to the visionaries, we see how they drop to their knees when she appears, and pray together with Gospa, Our Lady Queen of Peace, then after she speaks with them, they all say, "Ode!" at the same time when she disappears.

Miriam and Christine, daughters of Helen and Joseph Sarcevic, were #blessed to be able to join some of the pilgrims in that room off to the side of the altar and witnessed the apparition when we traveled there in 1983. Though very excited, we prayed and prayed. We were able to feel a tremendous comforting peace inside ourselves at that time, as though the Holy Spirit was filling us with God's graces. :-)   

Our Lady is instructing us all the time to open our hearts in prayer. We can all feel God's graces and His love wherever we are  anywhere in the entire world. 

Have a blessed day!     God's peace be with you!

Gospa encourages us to prayer rather than despair

 (EN) Gospa's message, June 25, 2000 - (HR) Gospina Poruka, 25. lipanj 2000.

And below that is a more recent encouraging Medjugorje message by Our Lady, Gospa, Blessed Mother of God, April 25, 2018. "Today I am calling you to live your new life.." There is hope for a better future. We can each help make that happen.   She and her Son, Jesus Christ, trusted God and persevered. 

God bless them! thank you. 

Hvaljen Isus i Marija! Praised be Jesus and Mary!


Photograph when Mir-Peace pilgrimage group joined pilgrims from around the world at Holy Mass, St James Croatian Catholic Church, and the 1st message are from June 25, 2000. A lovely throwback thursday memory! :-) 

(EN) Dear children! Today I call you to prayer. The one who prays is not afraid of the future. Little children, do not forget that I am with you, and I love you all. Thank you for having responded to my call.
(HR) “Draga djeco! Danas vas pozivam na molitvu. Tko moli ne boji se budućnosti. Dječice, ne zaboravite: Ja sam s vama i sve vas volim. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mom pozivu. ”  


2nd inspirational message. Love it! During the current corona virus covid-19 pandemic we can be heartened and strengthened. Don't worry. Remembering the sacrifices Mary and St Joseph and Jesus made...with love and trust and acceptance... the ones that we know about in the New Testament Gospels. Wonderful role models for us and each family! Rather than on virus of sin, keep focusing on their great advice... and their patience in helping us get closer to God and His eternal goodness. 

 (ENGLISH)
GOSPA: "Dear children! Today I am calling you to live your new life with Jesus. May the RISEN ONE give you strength to always be strong in the trials of life and to be faithful and persevering in prayer; because Jesus saved you by His wounds and by His Resurrection gave you new life. Pray, little children, and do not lose hope. May joy and peace be in your hearts and witness the joy that you are mine. I am with you and love you all with my motherly love. Thank you for having responded to my call."
~Our Lady, Gospa, Blessed Mother of God, April 25, 2018, Medjugorje.

(HRVATSKI)
GOSPA: “Draga djeco! Danas vas pozivam da s Isusom živite vaš novi život. Nek vam Uskrsli dadne snagu da u kušnjama života budete uvijek jaki i u molitvi odani i ustrajni jer vas je Isus svojim ranama spasio i uskrsnućem dao novi život. Molite, dječice, i ne gubite nadu. U vašim srcima nek bude radost i mir i svjedočite radost da ste moji. Ja sam s vama i sve vas ljubim mojom majčinskom ljubavlju. Hvala vam što ste se odazvali mome pozivu. ”

  A call to love, with prayer and trust and hope  "... God can move your life, and you will grow in love..." 

Throwback memory to 1988, when Mir-Peace pilgrimage group traveled to Medjugorje for the annual anniversary of Gospa's apparitions, (every year except this due to coronavirus covid-19 pandemic). So different compared to today; necessary progress.This road and surroundings are so different to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of pilgrims, crowds of people from around the world.  

I believe! :-) Thank God!

Gospa, the Blessed Virgin Mary's (EN) June 25, 1988, Medjugorje message, the 7th anniversary:

(HR) Gospina p oruka, 25. lipanj 1988. - za 7. obljetnicu  

(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 - Croatian) 

“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! ”

Medjugorje apparitions in the beginning 1981 video

Wonderful images and footage in the video:  in the beginning, 1981, when Gospa started appearing !! St James Croatian Catholic Church area, #Medjugorje, was much like this when we traveled there 1st time in 1983! High up in the mountains of Bosnia Hercegovina, Europe. True faith in action! It was a blessing to be present in the room during one of the apparitions.

prayer together can stop wars & suspend the laws of nature

"Through fasting and prayer, one can stop wars, one can suspend the laws of nature."   During the current pandemic of coronavirus COVID19,donot worry. Pray.

Gospel, Matthew 18:20 'For where two or three gather in my name, there I (Lord, Jesus Christ) am with them.' 

-- 1982, Gospa in Medjugorje: "Communities of prayer are necessary in all parishes."  

"In the 1st years of the apparitions, Our Lady, Gospa, had said more than once, " Let us go to church to pray."   Gospa, the Blessed Virgin Mary also said, "that faith began to extinguish itself. There are many who do not come to church except through habit." She's often reminded us that through trust in God's, prayer and faith, miracles can happen,  GOSPA, 1982: "The best fast is on bread and water. Through fasting and prayer, one can stop wars, one can suspend the laws of nature."   

  ---  She and Jesus are helping us to realize God's spiritual kingdom is stronger than anything physical or earthly.  Have we forgotten that God's grace is worth more than anything of this earth? We can focus on that this Lent. God loves each of us. He gave His only Son for us. Thank God!

1984 "You have learned that the Cross represents Christ; it is a sign of Him. It is the same for the crucifix you have in your home. For me, it is not the same. I am with you then, "... when it is cold (& difficult to attend) & you come to church, you want to offer everything to God. I am with you then; I am with you in the wind. Do not be afraid."  ... "

  "I would like to guide you spiritually, ... When you go to Mass, your trip from home to church should be a time of preparation for Mass. You should also receive Holy Communion with an open and pure heart; purity of heart and openness..."  

Let's also remember the Eucharist is the greatest remedy of soul and body.   

(ENGLISH) Her Medjugorje message, July 25, 2014 

"Dear children! You are not aware of the graces that you are living at this time in which the Most High is giving you signs for you to open and convert. Return to God and to prayer, and may prayer begin to reign in your hearts, families and communities, so that the Holy Spirit may lead and inspire you to every day be more open to God's will and to His plan for each of you. I am with you and with the saints and angels intercede for you. Thank you for having responded to my call."

During this time of epidemic coronavirus spreading in the world, there is fear. and it's now a pandemic. covid-19 . Do not be afraid. Prayers that we will get through it the best possible way. We are all God's children and saw in the New Testament of the Bible how strong faith and prayer and fasting are, especially if we also gather together, and celebrate our faith through the sacraments, the Eucharist. Together in prayer and faith we can survive and thrive.

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."
