Medjugorje ("between the hills") has become well known in Hercegovina, and the world because of six young people who claim to have seen visions of the Madonna. Beginning on June 24, 1981, the Blessed Mother appeared to, and later told the visionaries God sent her to our world to help us convert our hearts and lives back to Him. Our Lady's call is one of Peace, Faith, Conversion, Prayer, and Fasting. We are each challenged to meet Our Lady's call to change our lives back to God.
