“Dear children, Out of love towards you, God has sent me among you, to love you and encourage you to prayer and conversion, for peace in you and in your families and in the world. Little children, do not forget that true peace comes only through prayer, from God Who is your peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Dear children, out of love towards you, God has sent me among you, to love you and encourage you to prayer and conversion, for peace in you and in your families and in the world.

In this month’s message, the Blessed Mother clearly stated once again that she is not the main figure of the Medjugorje apparitions, but God is. She is merely the messenger and prophet sent by God. Since God has sent the Blessed Mother to Medjugorje and allowed her to appear there for such a long time, it is unimaginable to have the Medjugorje apparitions without God.
    God sent the Blessed Mother for the peace of ourselves, our families, and the world. He loves us and wants to encourage us through prayer and repentance. To understand this amazing love and mercy of God, we need one thing: to open our hearts fully to God. We need to welcome God into our hearts. And for this, we need only one thing—the word we have heard countless times: ‘prayer.’
    For the past 43 years, the Blessed Mother has tirelessly repeated, “Pray, pray, and pray.” Why does she say this? It’s because this is what we need most and what is most important for us right now. Despite her long-standing call to prayer, we often do everything we want except praying.
    Only through prayer can our hearts be opened, and when our hearts are open, repentance can occur. Repentance allows us to place God at the center of our lives. If this process does not happen, it is solely our responsibility.
    There will come a day when the Medjugorje apparitions will end. No one on this earth knows when that will be, but considering various circumstances, it feels like the end is drawing closer. Time is running out. We must accept the Medjugorje apparitions and their messages with the urgency of not missing even the last moment.
    Like the good thief who, hanging right side of Jesus on the cross, recognized Him as the Savior and confessed, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom” (Le 23:42), we must respond with a sense of urgency to God’s earnest plea through the Blessed Mother to return to Him before it’s too late.

Little children, do not forget that true peace comes only through prayer, from God Who is your peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.

The Blessed Mother tells us that true peace comes only through prayer. If there were any other way, she would have told us. Her words, “True peace comes only through prayer,” remind us once again that prayer is the only path to true peace.
    Since God Himself is peace and our peace, the only way for that peace to come to us is by completely surrendering ourselves to God in prayer. Through prayer, we can ask God to grant us peace, but we cannot attain that peace through our human strength or abilities. Moreover, where God is not present, peace cannot exist.
    Humanity is forgetting this simple yet most fundamental truth. This is the root cause of all the difficulties humanity is facing today. Even if it is only us who believe that God alone is our peace and that He alone can grant us true peace, let us not forget that true peace comes only from God through prayer.

“Dear children! Today, my prayer with you is for peace. Good and evil are fighting and want to prevail in the world and in the hearts of people. You be people of hope and prayer and of great trust in God the Creator to Whom everything is possible. Little children, may peace prevail in you and around you. I am blessing you with my motherly blessing that you, little children, may be joy for all those whom you meet. Thank you for having responded to my call.”


Dear children! Today, my prayer with you is for peace. Good and evil are fighting and want to prevail in the world and in the hearts of people. 


With the words "Dear children! Today, my prayer with you is for peace." the Blessed Mother lets us know what our common prayer intention should be—peace. There are countless other prayer intentions, but above all, she asks us to pray for peace. Why should we pray for peace? Because it is the most urgent and important issue for us, and as she mentioned in her message on June 25, peace is in danger. Furthermore, the battle between good and evil is being fought in the world and in the hearts of people. We must fight against Satan, who seeks to steal peace from the world and from people’s hearts, by praying for peace.

      The Blessed Mother not only asks us to pray for peace, but she also tells us that she herself is praying with us for peace. How reassuring it is to know that the Queen of Peace is praying with us for peace! When our weak prayers are joined with her powerful intercession, those prayers gain tremendous strength. We must never forget that when we pray for peace, the Blessed Mother is always praying with us.

      Each of us faces different situations, and thus we all have different prayer intentions. Of course, it is necessary to pray for our personal intentions. However, before our individual intentions, we should always place peace and the conversion of sinners as our primary intentions in prayer. This is what God and the Blessed Mother desire most. By adjusting the priority of our prayer intentions in this way, we can help God, the Blessed Mother, and our neighbors, ultimately contributing to our own peace and salvation.


You be people of hope and prayer and of great trust in God the Creator to Whom everything is possible. Little children, may peace prevail in you and around you. 


The Blessed Mother wants us to be people of hope and prayer. A person who hopes and prays is someone who has faith in God and a positive outlook on life. Such a person never despairs because, although they cannot see God, they firmly believe that He exists and that He will always rescue them from despair and sorrow. This is why they constantly view, think, and accept everything from a positive perspective. Even in seemingly hopeless situations where no solution or way out appears humanly possible, they do not despair but maintain hope. They believe that, despite the great difficulties or despair they are facing, everything will turn out well. Instead of worrying, even in situations where humanly speaking there seems to be no possibility, they choose to pray. With absolute trust in God, they entrust everything to Him and pray. At this point, the words of St. Padre Pio naturally come to mind: “Pray, hope, and don't worry.”

      With God, all things are possible. He is the one who created something out of nothing by His word. Everything in the world, indeed the entire universe, was created by God's word. The phrase “God said, and it was so” is repeated throughout Genesis 1. Everything happens as He commands. "For nothing will be impossible for God" (Lk 1:37). Our Creator God, who makes all things possible, asks only one thing from us. The Blessed Mother teaches us that it is deep trust in the Creator God—faith. If we trust deeply in the Creator God, who makes all things possible, and firmly believe in Him, we will experience the fulfillment of Jesus' words, “Everything is possible for one who has faith” (Mk 9:23). This faith will give us life, even after death (cf. Jn 11:25), and bring us eternal life (cf. Jn 6:47).


I am blessing you with my motherly blessing that you, little children, may be joy for all those whom you meet. Thank you for having responded to my call.


Satan sows seeds of hatred in the hearts of people and tries to divide every relationship. However, the Queen of Peace desires that peace fill us and surround us. The reason the Blessed Mother has been coming to us for such a long time is because of her desire for peace in us and in the world. She wants our hearts and the world to be filled with peace. As the Queen of Peace, when she appeared in Medjugorje on June 26, 1981, the third day of the apparitions, she said, "Peace, peace, only peace!" while descending from Apparition Hill. Afterward, she appeared again to Marija while they were descending the hill and, with tears in her eyes, said, "Peace must reign between God and man, and between men." Forty-three years later, in her message on August 25, 2024, she continues to speak about peace: "Dear children! Today, my prayer with you is for peace... May peace prevail in you and around you."

      If we do not have peace within ourselves, we cannot bring peace to those around us. Nor can we bring joy to everyone we meet. The peace of this world starts with the peace within us. First and foremost, let us pray with the Blessed Mother for peace to be abundant within us and around us, and continually seek her motherly blessing.

“My dear children, with joy I have chosen you and am leading you, because in you, little children, I see people of faith, hope and prayer. May you, little children, be led by the pride that you are mine, and I am leading you to Him, Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. And I am with you so that peace may win in you and around you, because it is with this intention God has sent me to you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

My dear children, with joy I have chosen you and am leading you, because in you, little children, I see people of faith, hope and prayer. 

Whenever the Blessed Mother gives a message, she almost always begins with the words “Dear children.” Every time we hear that we are beloved children of the Blessed Mother, we cannot help but feel our hearts warm and swell with emotion. However, in this month's message, she added the possessive "my" in front of it. When I first heard the words "my dear children," I immediately thought of St. Mary Magdalene, whose feast day was celebrated three days earlier on July 22. This was because of her response to the two angels who asked her why she was weeping at the empty tomb on the first day of the week after Jesus had died. The Bible records it as follows: “They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken my Lord, and I don’t know where they laid him” (Jn 20:13). She could have simply said, “They have taken the Lord away.” But she replied, “They have taken my Lord away.” The part that catches my attention here is the possessive "my." She wasn't claiming ownership of Jesus, but she was expressing the depth of her absolute love and devotion to Him. To Mary Magdalene, Jesus wasn’t a distant Lord, but someone who had captured her whole heart, a personal and intimate figure whom she could never exchange for anything else in the world.
     Indeed, we are the beloved children of the Blessed Mother. However, in this month's message, by calling us “my beloved children,” she expresses how personally she treats us and how deep her love for us truly is.
      Love works with joy, never abandoning or giving up, and willingly sacrifices. The Blessed Mother, who calls us her beloved children, has joyfully chosen us and is leading us. She says the reason is that she sees in us people of faith, hope, and prayer. We may not know how much faith and hope we possess or how much we pray, but the Blessed Mother says we have these qualities. It is fortunate that we have such things within us, but they are probably insufficient. Otherwise, why would the Blessed Mother choose us and seek to guide us? We must always confess our lack of faith, hope, and prayer, seek the Blessed Mother's guidance and help, and walk holding her hand.

May you, little children, be led by the pride that you are mine, and I am leading you to Him, Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. 

The Blessed Mother tells us that we are hers. This doesn't mean we are simply her possessions but rather precious people who belong to her. This fact that we belong to the Blessed Mother elevates our dignity to its highest. The sense of belonging to the Blessed Mother fills our hearts with pride. How can we not feel proud when the Mother of God, the Queen of the Universe, the Queen of Peace, joyfully chooses and leads us, calling us her own?
      Moreover, the Blessed Mother tells us to take pride in the fact that she is leading us to Him who is the way, the truth, and the life. Who is this One who is the way, the truth, and the life? It is none other than Jesus. Because we are the beloved children of the Blessed Mother, we belong entirely to her, and she wants to give us the very best portion. What is the best portion? It is Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life. When Jesus visited the house of Martha and Mary, He said to Mary, who sat at His feet listening intently to His words, “There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her” (Lk 10:42).
      The Blessed Mother does not want us to stray from the path of salvation. She wants us to discover the truth that sets us free. She desires that we not perish or die but live forever. Therefore, she seeks to lead us to her Son Jesus, who makes all this possible—the One who is our way, our truth, and our life.

And I am with you so that peace may win in you and around you, because it is with this intention God has sent me to you. Thank you for having responded to my call.

The one who plans and executes the apparitions of the Blessed Mother in Medjugorje is God Himself. The Blessed Mother comes to us living on this earth by God’s command through Medjugorje. As a messenger delivering God’s message, the Blessed Mother once again reminds us why she is coming to this world: “Because it is God's intention in sending me to you, I am with you so that peace may triumph within you and around you.”
      God wants peace to triumph within us and around us. To make this peace possible, the Blessed Mother stays with us, teaching, inviting, and calling us through numerous messages to pray with our hearts, have firm faith, repent, and live lives of sacrifice and penance. Only we can respond to this invitation and call. No one else can do it for us. What will happen when we respond to this call? We will receive the one and only thing we truly need—the best portion. We will be led to Jesus, who is our way, our truth, and our life, and we will experience peace triumphing within us and around us.

"Dear children! I rejoice with you and thank God for permitting me to be with you, to lead you and love you. Little children, peace is in danger and the family is under attack. I am calling you, little children: return to prayer in the family. Put Sacred scripture in a visible place and read it every day. Love God above all that it may be good for you on earth. Thank you for having responded to my call."


Dear children! I rejoice with you and thank God for permitting me to be with you, to lead you and love you.


Today marks the 43rd anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions in Medjugorje. Forty-three years is a significant span of time. During these years, Our Lady has appeared daily, and the apparitions continue today through three visionaries—Marija, Ivan, and Vicka. This long and ongoing presence of Our Lady is an extraordinary event in history, and such a prolonged apparition is unlikely to happen again on earth.

   The Medjugorje apparitions are part of God’s plan, and they continue because He has permitted Our Lady to appear for this extended period. Why has God allowed these apparitions for 43 years? Because of His love for us. God wants all of humanity, His beloved children, to receive salvation and peace through Jesus. Thus, the Medjugorje apparitions are a profound expression of God’s love for all humanity.

    Among all of God’s creations, Our Lady is the one who understands His will and plan the most perfectly and obeys it completely. Nothing is more important to her than God’s will. That is why God has sent her as His messenger to reveal His plan and guide its fulfillment.

   Though Our Lady comes to us as God’s messenger, there is also her own willingness involved. As the Mother of all humanity, she deeply loves her children and desires that they all attain salvation and peace. Her concern for her children never ceases, and that is why she continues to visit us, responding to God’s call for so many years.

   On this 43rd anniversary of her apparitions, Our Lady once again addresses us as “dear children.” For her, the Mother of all nations, it does not matter what race, language, religion, skin color, or status her children have. Even those who have committed grave sins and distanced themselves from God are not excluded from her love. Her love mirrors God’s love, “who causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous” (Mt 5:45).

   Today, Our Lady says, "I rejoice with you." We experience joy for many reasons in life, but the fact that Our Lady is with us and rejoices with us is a joy beyond compare. As the Mother of God, the Mother of Jesus, the Mother of the Church, and the Mother of all humanity, she rejoices with us—how could we not feel immense joy in return? We should say to her, "Dear Mother, I rejoice with you too."

    Because Our Lady is with us, guiding and loving us, we cannot help but rejoice with her. She is with us, so we are not abandoned like orphans. She leads us on the path of holiness, salvation, and peace, and we will never lose our way to God. Through her love, we are empowered to love God, our neighbors, and ourselves even more. All of this is possible because God the Father has allowed Our Lady to be with us, guide us, and love us. Just as Our Lady gives thanks to God, we too must offer our deepest gratitude to Him for allowing her to be with us.


Little children, peace is in danger and the family is under attack. I am calling you, little children: return to prayer in the family. Put Sacred scripture in a visible place and read it every day. 


Our Lady tells us that "peace is in danger and the family is under attack." Who is threatening peace and attacking families? It is Satan and his servants, who incite war, hatred, and destruction, leading us toward ruin. The only way to counter their plans and actions is through prayer and fasting. Today, Our Lady emphasizes the importance of returning to prayer within the family. When families that live, eat, and sleep together also pray together, it fortifies the family as a spiritual fortress. When a family prays together, Satan cannot penetrate or attack that family. A family that prays together becomes a house of love and peace, a small domestic church.

   Just as the tabernacle is the center of the church, the Bible should be the center of the home, which is another small church. If we place the Bible in a visible place where all family members can see it daily, it serves as a constant reminder that God is the center of the family. Reading the Bible together as a family each day transforms our hearts, minds, and lives. The Bible teaches us who God is, what He has done for us, how He wants us to live, and how we can become holy and walk the path of salvation and peace. It contains all the truth and the words of eternal life we need—what more could we ask for? Our Lady simply tells us, “Put Sacred scripture in a visible place and read it every day.” Reading the Bible is a way of listening to God’s Word with the heart, and all we need is love and faith in God. We don’t need deep theological knowledge; we just need the intention to listen to God’s Word and live by it.

   Let us open the Bible every day, both with our families and individually, and ask the Holy Spirit to help Jesus, the Word made flesh, be born in our hearts and souls. Just as the Holy Spirit conceived Jesus in Our Lady’s womb, we can ask for the Holy Spirit’s grace to imprint the image of Jesus in our hearts and souls as we read the scriptures.


Love God above all that it may be good for you on earth. Thank you for having responded to my call.


Our earthly life is much shorter than we often think. Our Lady has said that our life on earth passes in the blink of an eye. We will not live on this earth forever. One day, we will face death and leave this world, but no one knows when that day will come. It could be today, tomorrow, or any day. Therefore, we must live each day as though it were our last.

   If we were to live as though today were our last day, what would be the most important thing for us to do? It would be to love God, the Lord of our lives and the Giver of eternal life. Nothing else matters. From the moment we wake up, we should give thanks to God for allowing us to live another day, and as we go about our daily activities, we should find ways to love God—whether through attending Mass, praying the rosary, reading the Bible, meditating, praying the Stations of the Cross, adoring the Blessed Sacrament, or engaging in charitable service. In the evening, we can kneel in gratitude for the day God has given us. Such a life is truly beautiful in the eyes of God, and it is the most meaningful and successful way to live.

   As mentioned earlier, our lives are like flowers or grass that bloom in the morning and wither by evening. Everything in this world is passing away. Only God remains, and the love we have for Him, as well as the actions we perform out of that love, will endure. Our Lady calls and invites us to believe in this simple yet profound truth and to live it out in our lives. Let us not delay or wait for another time or opportunity. Let us respond to her call and invitation today, at this very moment.

"Dear children! I rejoice with you and thank God for permitting me to be with you, to lead you and love you. Little children, peace is in danger and the family is under attack. I am calling you, little children: return to prayer in the family. Put Sacred scripture in a visible place and read it every day. Love God above all that it may be good for you on earth. Thank you for having responded to my call."

 "Dear children! In this time of grace, I am calling you to prayer with the heart. Little children, create prayer groups where you will encourage each other to the good and grow in joy. Little children, you are still far away. That is why continue to convert anew and choose the way of holiness and hope so that God may give you peace in abundance. Thank you for having responded to my call."


Dear children! In this time of grace, I am calling you to prayer with the heart. 


As Our Lady says, this is indeed a "time of grace." Although we cannot see it with our eyes, God is living among us, and through His grace, we are able to live, glorify, give thanks, praise, and pray to Him. What greater grace could there be than the fact that the Lord is with us at this moment and that we can pray, expressing our love for Him and our desire to be with Him? Our Lady calls us to recognize that we are living within this grace and that the most important task we have is to pray with our hearts. She invites us to give everything we have to God, loving Him alone with all our hearts and calling upon His name.

      God alone must be our priority. Our hearts must belong solely to Him. Nothing and no one else should occupy that space in our hearts. When our hearts belong fully to God, we can live as His children, and God can dwell within us.

      When we offer our hearts to God, He takes first place in them. At that moment, we become free, unattached to anything, and we can pray to God with all our hearts. This is how we can put into practice Our Lady’s call to make prayer the first priority in our lives.


Little children, create prayer groups where you will encourage each other to the good and grow in joy. 


While calling each of us to personal prayer from the heart, Our Lady also wants us to pray together with others. She says, "Dear children, create prayer groups that encourage you to do good for each other and grow in joy." The first unit of such a prayer group is the family. When a husband and wife pray together, when parents and children pray together, that is the beginning of a prayer group. Through this family prayer group, family members encourage each other to do good, love and forgive one another, and grow in joy with God and Our Lady. Although this is the ideal, some families may not be able to pray together for various reasons. What should be done in such cases? Even if they cannot physically pray together, they can still pray for one another. Believing that prayer has a positive effect on the family, family members can pray for each other, especially for those facing the most challenging situations. Such prayer, offered with love, will have a greater effect than we can imagine.

      Jesus said, "Again, [amen,] I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" (Mt 18:19-20). This shows that the size of the prayer group does not matter. Two or three people praying together is enough. However, it is essential that even two or three people pray with one heart for their request to be accepted by God. To pray with one heart, we must let go of selfishness and embrace selfless love. The most important requirement for members of a prayer group is selfless love—respecting one another and putting the other person first. Without this, a prayer group cannot thrive.


Little children, you are still far away. That is why continue to convert anew and choose the way of holiness and hope so that God may give you peace in abundance. Thank you for having responded to my call.


Our Lady tells us, "You are still far away." What are we far away from? We are likely far from God and His commandments. To close the distance between ourselves and God, conversion is necessary. Conversion is not a one-time event but something that must happen continuously, every day and every moment. Since we are easily distracted, we need to keep turning our gaze back to God through ongoing conversion. Daily examination of conscience and monthly confession are the minimum requirements for maintaining this continual conversion.

      To draw near to God and live according to His commandments, we must choose the path of holiness and hope, as Our Lady advises. To grow in holiness, we must pray with our hearts, love God with undivided hearts, and avoid sin. We must place our hope not in the transient things of this world but in God, who is unchanging and eternal. By living this way, we will eventually find ourselves closer to God and living according to His commandments without even realizing it.

"Dear children! I am with you to tell you that I love you and to encourage you to prayer; because Satan is strong and every day his strength is stronger through those who have chosen death and hatred. You, little children, be prayer and my extended hands of love for all those who are in darkness and seek the light of our God. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Dear children! I am with you to tell you that I love you and to encourage you to prayer; because Satan is strong and every day his strength is stronger through those who have chosen death and hatred. 

There is a saying, "Know your enemy, know yourself, and you will win every battle." To win any battle, we must first know our enemy. If we don’t know who the enemy is or what power they have, how can we fight, let alone win?
      In life, we face various battles, but particularly, we engage in a spiritual battle every day. Our spiritual adversary, Satan, is real, even though we cannot see him. He exerts tremendous influence over us and the world, even trying with all his might to destroy humanity and the earth itself. Despite this, Satan deceives us into thinking he doesn't exist, disguising himself in ways that seem appealing, so we often fail to recognize his presence and influence. Satan is real, and his power is far stronger than we often realize. We must never forget this.
      In this month’s message and throughout other messages, Our Lady has reminded us that Satan is strong. However, she also reassures us that if we do not allow him, he has no power over us. Yet some people, by choosing death and hatred, unknowingly surrender themselves to Satan and fall under his control. Satan grows stronger through those who become his servants, spreading his evil influence.
      If Satan strengthens himself through those who serve him, we too need a strong ally. Our ally is Our Lady. Just as some choose death and hatred to join Satan’s army, we must choose life and love to join Our Lady’s army. Out of her love for us, Our Lady invites us to join her army voluntarily. As our commander, she encourages us with love and prayer to help us win the spiritual war against Satan and his forces.
      The saying "Know your enemy, know yourself, and you will win every battle" applies here. To win the spiritual battle against Satan, we must first know ourselves. Above all, we need to remember that we are children of God. Even if we are tempted by Satan, fall into sin, or lose our faith in God, He remains our Father, and we are His children. This truth never changes, no matter what happens. Whether we recognize it or not, God created us in His image. Moreover, God loves us so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to be our Savior. Jesus died on the cross to forgive our sins and open the gates of eternal life for us. Saint Paul beautifully expresses God's love for us through Jesus:
      “What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all, how will he not also give us everything else along with him? Who will bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who acquits us. Who will condemn? It is Christ [Jesus] who died, rather, was raised, who also is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? As it is written: “For your sake we are being slain all the day; we are looked upon as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom 8:31-39).
      We are children of God, created in His image. God gave His only Son, Jesus, for our sake, and Jesus, seated at the right hand of the Father, intercedes for us. Therefore, we have nothing to fear. However, the greatest danger lies in forgetting this truth and acting with arrogance, believing we are capable of everything on our own. This is when we are most vulnerable, as Satan, who waits for such moments, is ready to exploit our weaknesses and separate us from God. That’s why Saint Peter warns us: “Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for [someone] to devour” (1 Pt 5:8).
      Although we are children of God, created in His image, we are also beings made from dust. Every year, on Ash Wednesday, the priest reminds us of this when he places ashes on our heads and says, "Remember, man, you are dust, and to dust you shall return." We are fragile beings, far weaker than we realize. We often misuse our free will to satisfy our uncontrolled desires, choosing evil over good and committing sin. Therefore, we must always remember that, although free will is a precious gift from God, it can also be a source of weakness.

You, little children, be prayer and my extended hands of love for all those who are in darkness and seek the light of our God. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Upon hearing Our Lady’s message, “Pray for all those who are searching for the light of our God in the darkness and extend my loving hand to them,” a story from the Gospel of Luke came to mind. Let me share it with you:
      “A Pharisee invited him to dine with him, and he entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at table. Now there was a sinful woman in the city who learned that he was at table in the house of the Pharisee. Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment, she stood behind him at his feet weeping and began to bathe his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed them with the ointment. When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner.” Jesus said to him in reply, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” “Tell me, teacher,” he said. “Two people were in debt to a certain creditor; one owed five hundred days’ wages and the other owed fifty. Since they were unable to repay the debt, he forgave it for both. Which of them will love him more?” Simon said in reply, “The one, I suppose, whose larger debt was forgiven.” He said to him, “You have judged rightly.” Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give me water for my feet, but she has bathed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but she has not ceased kissing my feet since the time I entered. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she anointed my feet with ointment. So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.” He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” The others at table said to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” But he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace” (Lk 7:36-50).
      In this story, the sinful woman, despite living in sin, longed to escape the darkness of her sins and sought God’s light. Her great fortune was that Jesus had come to her town. Although the invitation to dine came from Simon the Pharisee, it almost seems as if Jesus went to the house for the sake of the woman. Having heard about how Jesus forgave sinners and even dined with them, she mustered the courage to enter the Pharisee’s house. She didn’t say a word, but through her tears, the washing of Jesus’ feet, and the pouring of perfume, she demonstrated her repentance and asked for His love, forgiveness, and mercy. Jesus, knowing she was genuinely seeking God’s light, forgave her sins and extended His mercy to her.
      Simon the Pharisee, on the other hand, remained judgmental, even while witnessing her tearful repentance. He saw her but failed to truly see her heart. Spiritually, he was blind. Though he had invited Jesus into his home to share a meal, he didn’t recognize who Jesus truly was or understand how God worked. He didn’t grasp God’s nature.
      People living in darkness are those living in sin. Do they want to remain in that darkness? No. Even though they live in sin, they also wish to escape it because the light of conscience God planted in them still flickers. Therefore, we must not condemn them for their sin. They are God’s beloved children, as precious as we are. We must look upon them with mercy and compassion and help them, both humanly and spiritually, to escape the darkness. This is why Our Lady calls us to “pray for all those who are searching for the light of our God in the darkness and extend my loving hand to them."

"Dear children! In this time of grace, pray with me for the good to win in you and around you. In a special way, little children, pray united with Jesus on His Way of the Cross. Into your prayers put this humanity, which wanders without God and without His love. Be prayer, be light, and be witnesses to all those whom you meet, little children, so that the merciful God may have mercy toward you. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Dear children! In this time of grace, pray with me for the good to win in you and around you. In a special way, little children, pray united with Jesus on His Way of the Cross. Into your prayers put this humanity, which wanders without God and without His love.

According to the Church’s liturgical calendar, March 25 is the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. However, today, March 25, the Church has moved this celebration to April 8, because Holy Week began yesterday with Palm Sunday, commemorating Jesus' entry into Jerusalem.
      Today, the second day of Holy Week 2024, Our Lady uses the phrase "this time of grace." Although every moment is a time of grace, it seems that Our Lady is particularly referring to this Holy Week as a special time of grace. Holy Week is the most grace-filled time, as it contains the central mysteries of our faith.
      Yesterday, on Palm Sunday, the first day of Holy Week, our Lord Jesus entered Jerusalem to suffer for us. Riding humbly on a donkey, He was met with great excitement from the crowd. Many spread their cloaks on the road, and others laid down leafy branches they had cut from the fields. Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to come! Hosanna in the highest!" (Mk 11:9-10). "Hosanna" means "Save us!" The people recognized Jesus as the Savior and asked for deliverance. However, they expected Him to save them through worldly means, such as by using power and authority to free them from Roman oppression. Even the twelve apostles and Jesus' disciples had similar expectations. But Jesus came to save them in a way they did not understand—through His suffering and death on the cross. His entry into Jerusalem was not to ascend to a worldly throne, but to be crucified. Only through this path could He atone for humanity's sins and offer salvation.
      On Holy Thursday, Jesus instituted the Sacrament of the Eucharist and the Sacrament of Holy Orders during the Last Supper with His apostles in an upper room on Mount Zion, just outside Jerusalem's city walls. Jesus took bread and wine, consecrating them as His body and blood, and gave them to the apostles, thus instituting the Eucharist. After blessing the oils, He anointed Peter and John as priests, establishing the sacrament of Holy Orders. The other apostles were not immediately ordained, likely because of Judas' impending betrayal. Jesus did not ordain Judas, who was destined to betray Him and take his own life.
      After Jesus’ ascension and the descent of the Holy Spirit, Peter and John ordained the other apostles as priests, following Jesus' command. The entire Church, united under Peter, the first pope, celebrated the first Mass, thus fully instituting the Eucharist. The Eucharist, which commemorates Jesus' suffering, death, resurrection, and all that He is, and the sacrament of Holy Orders, which ordains those who celebrate the Eucharist, are two of the most important pillars of the Church. As St. Augustine said, "The Eucharist makes the Church, and the Church makes the Eucharist." Since the Eucharist cannot exist without the priest, and the Church cannot exist without the Eucharist, the priesthood is essential to the Church.
      On Holy Thursday night, after establishing the Eucharist and Holy Orders, Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives to pray in agony, sweating blood. He prayed, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Take this cup away from me, but not what I will but what you will" (Mk 14:36). Soon after, a mob sent by the chief priests and elders, led by the traitor Judas, arrived with swords and clubs to arrest Him. Jesus was taken to the house of the high priest, where He was falsely tried, beaten, and mocked throughout the night. Early the next morning, He was sent to Pontius Pilate’s residence for trial.
      Good Friday came. After an unjust trial before Pilate, Jesus was severely scourged, His flesh torn, and His bones exposed. A crown of thorns was placed on His head, and He was subjected to mockery. Finally, Jesus was given the cross to carry. Upon seeing the cross, Jesus embraced it, offering a prayer of gratitude: "Father, thank You for allowing me to carry this cross to fulfill Your will."
      Jesus carried His cross to Golgotha, where He was crucified. From the cross, He prayed, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do" (Lk 23:34.) This prayer was initially directed at the Roman soldiers who nailed Him to the cross, the chief priests, scribes, Pharisees, and elders who mocked Him, but in reality, it was a prayer for all humanity, from the past, present, and future. We must remember that this prayer includes each one of us.
      One more thing to emphasize is that Jesus did not offer this prayer just once. He prayed it continuously during His trial before the chief priests and Pilate, while carrying the cross, and throughout His crucifixion.
      Another key point to remember is that Our Lady, united with Jesus in spirit, prayed this prayer with Him. This is why, in this month’s message, Our Lady says, "Dear children! In this time of grace, pray with me for the good to win in you and around you. In a special way, little children, pray united with Jesus on His Way of the Cross." Jesus and Mary triumphed over all evil with goodness. They kept only goodness in their hearts and prayed for its victory, even in the face of the greatest evil. Having personally experienced this, Our Lady invites us to unite with Jesus on His way of the cross and pray for humanity, which lives without God and His love, lost in sin.
      On Good Friday evening, Jesus' body was laid in the tomb, and the scattered apostles, along with other disciples and holy women, gathered in the upper room where the Eucharist had been instituted. But Our Lady went out alone. She retraced the way of the cross, starting from Pilate's residence, where Jesus had received His sentence, and slowly walked the path Jesus took, stopping at the places where He had fallen and bled, kissing the ground. She eventually made her way to Golgotha.
      Holy Saturday arrived. Our Lady once again walked the way of the cross, just as she had done the day before. As Jesus had foretold before His passion, Our Lady met the resurrected Jesus at 11 p.m. on Golgotha.
      Even though Our Lady experienced Jesus' resurrection, ascension, and the descent of the Holy Spirit, she continued to walk the way of the cross every day, starting from Good Friday. Although we now follow the 14 stations of the way of the cross, Our Lady established a path of 12 stations behind her house in Ephesus, Turkey, where she lived for nine years before her Assumption, and she prayed the way of the cross daily. Our Catholic Church has inherited this tradition, praying the way of the cross not only during Lent but whenever the opportunity arises. If we, like Our Lady, pray the way of the cross every day, especially in union with Jesus, it will help us live out Jesus' words: "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me” (Mk 8:34).

Be prayer, be light, and be witnesses to all those whom you meet, little children, so that the merciful God may have mercy toward you. Thank you for having responded to my call.

In the earlier part of this message, Our Lady said, "Pray." But in the latter part, she goes further, saying, "Become prayer." She also calls us to "become light." There is only one thing necessary for us to become prayer and light: unity with Jesus. To be united with Jesus, we must entrust ourselves entirely to Him. We must entrust everything to Jesus and let the prayer He offered in Gethsemane flow continuously from our hearts: "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Take this cup away from me, but not what I will but what you" (Mk 14:36). By constantly praying to live according to God’s will rather than our own, and by seeking and following His will in even the smallest matters, we will fulfill this call.
      Seeing us live in this way, the merciful God will pour out His mercy upon us, and we will naturally become witnesses of our faith and God’s mercy to those who observe us.

"Dear children! Pray and renew your heart so that the good which you have sown may bear the fruit of joy and oneness with God. Darnel has seized many hearts and they have become unfruitful; that is why, you little children, be light, love and my outstretched hands in this world which yearns for God Who is love. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Dear children! Pray and renew your heart so that the good which you have sown may bear the fruit of joy and oneness with God. 

God created us humans in His image, and one of the ways we resemble Him is by living according to goodness, as God is goodness itself. However, even though we were created good in the likeness of a good God, there are times when we choose evil over good due to our uncontrolled desires. Furthermore, Satan continually tempts and deceives us, trying to lead us into sin and evil, making it challenging to live a life of goodness. Nevertheless, we must make a conscious effort to live good lives and turn it into a habit. To achieve this, we need to continuously ask for God’s help and grace through prayer and regularly examine ourselves.
      Just as we stand in front of a mirror every day to check if there is anything on our face, if our hair is neat, or if our clothes are properly worn, we must also examine our lives and hearts daily through the spiritual mirror of prayer. We must reflect on our conscience every day, not just once at the end of the day but several times throughout the day, to foster the good and cut off the evil. We were created in the likeness of a good God, and we are always called by our Creator to nurture goodness in our hearts and practice it in our actions. Wherever we are—at home, at work, at school, in church, in our neighborhood, in society, or in the world—we must be people who sow goodness. For this, the continuous renewal of our hearts is essential.
      Jesus said, "For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, unchastity, theft, false witness, blasphemy. These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile” (Mt 15:19-20). If such things reside in our hearts, we must cast them out and replace them with good thoughts, love, mercy, forgiveness, dedication, self-control, patience, and other virtues. This is the renewal of the heart. However, this renewal of the heart is impossible without God's grace, in addition to our efforts. Thus, we must earnestly ask the Lord to give us a new heart, as He promised, “I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh" (Ez 36:26).
      Our Lady desires for us to be people who sow goodness, and she hopes that the good we sow will bear the fruit of joy and unity with God. She urges us to pray and renew our hearts so that this may be accomplished. But what if, even after praying and renewing our hearts, the fruits of joy and unity with God are not borne? This may be because the good we thought we were sowing was not true goodness. Outwardly, it may appear to be good, but if the motivation behind it is self-satisfaction or self-interest, and we fail to discern this, then it will not produce the true fruits of joy or unity with God. Therefore, all the good we do must be pure, without any selfish motives, and based on love.
      “Lord, you have probed me, you know me: you know when I sit and stand; you understand my thoughts from afar. You sift through my travels and my rest; with all my ways you are familiar. Even before a word is on my tongue, Lord, you know it all” (Ps 139:1-4). As this psalm states, God knows everything about us, even the hidden thoughts in our hearts. While we may deceive people with flattering words or disguised good deeds, we can never deceive God. Even if we can deceive people for a time, as Jesus said, "Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known" (Mt 10:26). All hidden things will ultimately be revealed.
      There is a saying, "If you plant beans, you will get beans; if you plant red beans, you will get red beans." It is impossible to plant beans and get red beans or vice versa. If the goodness we sow is true goodness and we add prayer and the renewal of our hearts, that goodness will certainly bear the fruit of joy and unity with God.

Darnel has seized many hearts and they have become unfruitful; that is why, you little children, be light, love and my outstretched hands in this world which yearns for God Who is love. Thank you for having responded to my call.

In Matthew 13:24-30, Jesus gives the parable of the weeds, and in the following verses (36-43), He explains its meaning. He tells us that the weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them in the wheat field is the devil. Though the weeds will be burned at the end of the world, He allows them to grow alongside the wheat to protect the wheat. In other words, God tolerates the children of the evil one to protect the children of the kingdom. Jesus specifically identifies the children of the evil one as "those who cause others to sin and all who do evil."
      In this month’s message, for the first time, Our Lady uses the word "darnel," which she has never used before. She says, "Darnel has seized many hearts and they have become unfruitful;" As mentioned earlier, darnel represents the children of the evil one, Satan’s offspring, those who cause others to sin and commit injustice. These people disrupt and confuse many hearts, preventing good fruits from being borne within them. If we look around, we will see many people who resemble weeds. Some of them sin and live wicked lives while pretending otherwise, subtly or overtly leading others to sin and commit injustice. These people are not only present in the world but also within the Church, causing great harm. Recognizing the gravity of this situation, Our Lady tells us, “Darnel has seized many hearts and they have become unfruitful."
      Our Lady awakens us to the severity of the situation caused by the weeds and urges us to be light, love, and her outstretched hands. Even though it may seem as if the weeds are taking over, the world still longs for the God of love. She calls on us to help direct many hearts toward God. Instead of darkness, we must be light; instead of hatred, we must be love. Our Lady asks us to be her hands, touching and comforting the hearts of all people, guiding them as God’s good children.

"Dear children! May this time be a time of prayer."

Dear children! May this time be a time of prayer.

The message from Our Lady this month, which marks the start of 2024, is very brief. It is only one sentence. However, when I first encountered this message, I felt an overwhelming impression. I believe that, in this single sentence, Our Lady is telling us exactly what is most needed at this time.
      What is most necessary and important to us as we live through these current times? Is it a house, a job, health, a car, food, clothes, or something else? Of course, as we live in this world with our physical bodies, these are certainly essential and important. Yet, as we enter 2024, Our Lady tells us that what we need most is not those things, but prayer.
      Does it make sense to place prayer as the top priority in our lives and turn this time into a time of prayer, even when we are struggling without a job or facing financial hardships? From a worldly and human perspective, it might not make sense. But through the lens of faith, it is a perfectly fitting statement. Let us slowly read and reflect on the following words of the Lord:
     "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span? Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith? So do not worry and say, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘What are we to drink?’ or ‘What are we to wear?’ All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom [of God] and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil” (Mt 6:25-34).
      Through this passage, Jesus tells us that when we seek God's kingdom and His righteousness first, everything else we need will also be given to us. Although many saints have lived by this teaching, let us reflect on the life of one saint who put this into practice long ago.
      January 17 was the feast day of Saint Anthony. He was born into a wealthy family in Komana, Egypt, in the mid-3rd century. After both his parents passed away, he was left with only his younger sister. At that time, he was about eighteen to twenty years old and took on the responsibility of caring for the household and his sister.
      Not long after his parents’ passing, he began to ponder on his way to church, "Why did the apostles abandon everything to follow the Savior? Why did the early Christians, as described in the Acts of the Apostles, sell their possessions and distribute the proceeds to the poor under the direction of the apostles? How great and glorious must be the reward they hoped to receive in the kingdom of heaven!" As these thoughts filled his mind, he entered the church and heard the Gospel reading in which Jesus tells the rich young man: “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to [the] poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me" (Mt 19:21).
      Immediately after leaving the church, Anthony gave away the entire 37 acres of land he had inherited from his parents to the villagers. He sold all his other possessions and kept only a small portion for his sister, distributing the remainder to the poor.
      On his next visit to the church, he heard the passage from Matthew 6:25-34, which we just reflected on. After hearing these words, he left the church and gave away the rest of his remaining possessions to the poor. He entrusted his sister to the care of trusted virgins and began a life of asceticism near his home, working with his hands, remembering Saint Paul's words: "If anyone was unwilling to work, neither should that one eat" (2 Thes 3:10). He spent a portion of his earnings on food and gave the rest to the poor.
      He also took Jesus' words to heart: "When you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you" (Mt 6:6). "Pray always without becoming weary" (Lk 18:1). He prayed for long hours and studied the scriptures so diligently that he almost memorized them.
      Until his death in 356, he lived as a hermit, followed by many, and is known as "the Father of Monasticism" for his significant influence on monastic life in the Western Church.
     Anthony gave everything he had to the poor and lived a life of labor, asceticism, and prayer in obedience to the words of Jesus, particularly focusing on Matthew 6:25-34. Our Lady, Queen of Peace of Medjugorje, has encouraged families to read and meditate on this passage together every Thursday through one of the visionaries.
      How can we seek God's kingdom and His righteousness? Our Lady tells us that the answer is "prayer." Prayer is the key that opens the doors to the kingdom of heaven. Through prayer, we can enter God's kingdom, and God's kingdom can enter us. Prayer helps us understand God's will, know what He deems righteous, and gain the strength to put it into practice.
      Does prayer bring food? Yes, it does. Does prayer provide clothes? Yes, it does. Does prayer give us water? Yes, it does. Why is that? Because through prayer, we come into possession of God, who can provide all these things. Not in a mechanical or controlling sense, but in the sense that we can fully entrust ourselves to His good providence.
      Now is the time for prayer!
   
 
 
December 25, 2023
"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.

Dear children! I am carrying my Son Jesus to you to fill your hearts with peace, because He is peace.

In Catholic Mass, outside the seasons of Advent and Lent, we recite or sing the Gloria, praising God and asking for peace. It begins, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of goodwill!” Whenever I sing these words, I am reminded of that first Christmas when the angels sang this hymn over the shepherds in Bethlehem: "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests" (Lk 2:14). This angelic hymn reveals why Jesus came—to give glory to God and bring peace to humanity.
      But notice the second part of the hymn: "peace to people of goodwill." While Jesus came to bring peace to everyone, this hymn clarifies that this peace is for those "of goodwill." How can we be people of goodwill, pleasing to God? The answer is repentance. Acknowledging our sins, seeking forgiveness, and living according to God’s commandments is the path to repentance.
      Though Jesus came to bring peace, He made it clear that repentance is the first step. As He began His ministry, Jesus said, " This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel" (Mk 1:15). His entire public life was a call to repentance. When some towns in Galilee refused to repent despite witnessing His miracles, He sternly rebuked them: "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes" (Mt 11:21).
      Now, through the apparitions of Our Lady, Jesus continues to call humanity to repentance. Since June 24, 1981, in Medjugorje, Our Lady has been appearing daily, urging humanity to repent. She emphasizes that without repentance, there is no peace, no future. We must take her words seriously and respond to her call: “Dear children! Today I invite you to conversion. This is the most important message that I have given you here…” (February 25, 1996).

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.

From the moment we wake until we fall asleep, we are surrounded by noise. Our minds, too, are constantly racing with thoughts and worries. In this message, Our Lady calls us to seek Jesus in silence. Inner silence begins with external silence—finding a quiet place and time free from distractions.
      The best place to find this silence and seek Jesus is in a church, especially before the Blessed Sacrament. Even if the Eucharist is not exposed, sitting before the tabernacle, gazing upon Jesus in love and reverence, helps quiet our hearts. It’s essential to develop the habit of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, fostering inner silence.
      More important than silent adoration, however, is participation in Mass. The Mass is the highest form of prayer, where Jesus becomes present in the Eucharist, offering Himself to us. Every day, through the Mass, the miracle of Jesus' birth happens again as He comes to dwell among us. How can we not attend this incredible event daily if possible?
      Jesus Himself tells us: "Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you…. I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst” (Jn 6:27, 35).
      Every time we offer the Lord's Prayer, we ask, "Give us this day our daily bread." Jesus hears our petition at every daily Mass. He becomes our daily bread in the form of the Eucharist each day. Let us make participating in daily Mass, to receive the Eucharistic Jesus, our daily bread who leads us to eternal life, the most important and prioritized task of our day. 

Today, Our Lady, dressed in splendor, came carrying the infant Jesus in her arms. As she prayed in Aramaic, Jesus extended His arms in a gesture of blessing.

It’s unusual to see a description of the apparition included with the monthly message, but this unique detail helps us grasp the significance of this Christmas message.
      Visionary Vicka has described Our Lady as having beautiful blue eyes, slightly curly black hair, and wearing a gray dress with a white veil. On special occasions, she is adorned in golden garments and jewelry, as she was in this apparition, where she carried the baby Jesus in her arms.
      What’s particularly extraordinary is that Mary prayed in Aramaic, her native language and that of Jesus. Why would she pray in Aramaic now, after 2,000 years? Perhaps it is to remind us of the first Christmas in Bethlehem, inviting us back to that holy night. Moreover, it could be to show us that Medjugorje, like Bethlehem, is a place where Jesus is born again in the hearts of those who seek Him.
      Interestingly, this month’s message does not end with the usual, "Thank you for having responded to my call." Instead, this phrase appears in the annual message to visionary Jakov Colo, given the same day. Reading both messages together offers a fuller picture of what Our Lady wishes to convey this Christmas:

“Dear children, today with my Son in my arms, I desire to call all of you to pray to the little Jesus for the healing of your heart. Children, often in your hearts sin rules which destroys your life and you cannot feel God's presence. That is why, on this day of grace, when grace is spreading throughout the whole world, surrender your life and your heart to the Lord, so that the Lord may heal them with His grace. Only with pure hearts will you be able to experience the birth of Jesus anew in you, and the light of His birth will illuminate your life. I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call" (December 25, 2023, to Jakov Colo).
