Christmas peace and joy

 God's peace be with you! Peace on earth, good will towards all!

This Advent and Christmas season, it's wonderful to reflect on peace and joy in our hearts as Gospa, the Blessed Virgin Mary in Medjugorje has been tirelessly teaching us, her children, through prayer, fasting, to get closer to God through her Son, Jesus Christ. No matter who, where, or what we are...We are all family! ***  ***

a quote from Medjugorje message on Christmas, 2007, is below. 

Sarcevic family wishes you all a 

Blessed & MERRY CHRISTMAS!  

Blagoslovljen i Sretan Božić! 

(Helen Sarcevic, Mir-Peace pilgrimage founder; daughters Christina Verdgeline, Miriam Vukmanic & family, Darlene Milas guide and translator & family).

Mir-PEACE pilgrimage groups have been traveling to Croatian Catholic church parish of #Medjugorje since the mid 1980s #blessed... people of other religions have felt peace there also.

... and we're planning to continue in 2022! God-willing.

****** Message. Gospa, Our Lady Queen of Peace:

"Dear children!

Today in a special way I call you to become open to God and for each of your hearts today to become a place of Jesus' birth. Little children, through all this time that God permits me to be with you, I desire to lead you to the joy of your life. Little children, the only true joy of your life is God. Therefore, dear children, do not seek joy in things of this earth but open your hearts and accept God. Little children, everything passes; only God remains in your heart. Thank you for having responded to my call."

A message from Our Lady to Jakov Colo to whom she appears once-yearly on Christmas. December 25, 2007. The apparition began at 2:29pm and lasted six minutes.

Visionary Ivan pray for priests youth peace

 Through our prayers for peace & keeping God's commandments we can renew this suffering world.

Ivan Dragicevic - Medjugorje Visionary Interview, 1991. Translating to English for him is Helen Sarcevic (our Mom :-) ), who answered Gospa's call & started Mir-Peace pilgrimages in the 1980s to help Americans to authentically experience God's graces and the true faith of the visionaries and Croatian families there.

"...Our Lady has been giving messages to him that have remained consistent and are as relevant today as they were in 1991. Our Lady has asked him to pray for young people and for priests.
In this interview he talks about the importance of praying as a family, especially the family rosary. Our Lady wants a restoration of family life with love and harmony between parents and children. We have to have peace first in our hearts, and peace in our families, and then it will spill over into society."

      link:    Medjugorje visionary Ivan interview

When asked if Our Lady has a message for the United States of America, Ivan responds that her messages to the world are for everyone, because she loves ALL her children, every single one of them, because she is the mother of all of us.

Gospa, the Queen of Peace, always invites us to pray for peace... First the peace must reign in our hearts, individually. Then also the harmony of peace in the family.

In 1981, the Blessed Mother began appearing to six young people, (“visionaries”) and giving messages to the world through them, in a small Croatian Catholic church parish in Bosnia Hercegovina named #Medjugorje. She told the visionaries, "I have come to tell the world that God exists. He is the fullness of life, and to enjoy this fullness and peace, you must return to God”.

Happy Easter & resurrection in your heart quotes

"We all rejoice in Heaven. Rejoice with us." 

~Gospa, Easter Sunday, April 22, 1984, Medjugorje.  

  Through Jesus’ example of human suffering, He brings us peace and hope, with the understanding that our own suffering leads to eternal life. This path is not an easy one, but with forgiving and trusting hearts full of love, we surrender to God’s Will and God’s Way, finding that the true joy of Heaven is already with us... that Jesus is with us and strengthens us to endure our own Way of the Cross, the path to our Heavenly home.

May  this  Easter  be  a  blessed  and  peaceful  resurrection  for each  human  heart! 

~ Mir-Peace & family.

Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, April 25, 2018, #Medjugorje:

(ENGLISH) "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."

(HRVATSKI) 

Gospina Poruka, 25. travanj 2018.

“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 few memories through the years with our Dad, Joseph Sarcevic, in Medjugorje, with visionaries Ivanka, Vicka, & Ivan, also Father Petar Ljubicic.

Wonderful memories with a kind soul, a super & supportive dad, excellent talented artist: his painting of Saint James Croatian Catholic church, Medjugorje, tied in with city of Dubrovnik on the Croatian coast which also has a strong devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and strong Christian faith in Jesus Christ and God Our Father.

Prayers for those who are not with us in this world though we trust we are all together in Spirit, for the souls in purgatory, and for everyone to be able to feel the love of our Lord and our Mother, Our Lady Queen of Peace. Appreciating our family, mother and father, and our extended family of humanity. Thanking God for all His graces!
