Statement of intent: This
Medjugorje Web Page was first put on line in the Fall of 1994. The sole
intent of this page is to make the events of this phenomenon known to the
world, and to share the messages that have touched the hearts of millions.
It was my own personal experience at this place that converted me
from a spectator Catholic Christian to a true believer in Christ and the
truth that His blessed mother continues to echo from the gospels. She spreads
this message through 6 human vessels in the heart of what was a Communist
country in 1981. I invite you to read her messages with an open mind and
an open heart, for her messages have such great love, as she sees each
one of us as her children who are in so much need of her care and guidance
to help us to know her son and to return to God. As she repeatedly points
out - we need to pray, pray, pray!
NOTE: Medjugorje now has its own website.
In order to provide timely updates of the latest message, the following

Medjugorje Pilgrimage - 15th Anniversary
Here are some links relating to our pilgrimage in June 1996:
Since June 25, 1981, Mary the Mother of God is reported to visit daily
with several young adults in this Croatian village in Bosnia-Hercegovina,
bringing messages on how to achieve peace in our hearts, homes and world.
Medjugorje has become an international center of prayer, devotion and
conversion of the heart. Our Lady has told the visionaries that these are
her last appearances on earth and it is for this reason her visits are
so long and frequent. She has come to tell us "God exists". Before her
last appearance she has promised to leave a visible sign on the mountain
where the first apparition occurred so that all will believe.
While the Catholic Church has yet to approve any of the modern day apparitions,
in 1986, The Holy Father said, "Let the people go to Medjugorje if they
convert, pray, confess, do penance and fast." Some 30 million laity and
clergy have visited and returned home spiritually renewed.
Despite the recent war in Bosnia, Medjugorje remains a center of peace
and of profound spirituality.
The call from the Queen of Peace is:
PEACE! PEACE! PEACE! - is necessary to save humanity. We have
to begin by creating peace first within our own hearts. This can be done
in the following manner:
-
COMMUNICATION WITH GOD - Open your heart to Him. Allow yourself
to be guided by His will rather than the earthly desires upon which we
base our lives in our world today.
-
FAITH - Believe and trust in Him.
-
PRAYER - specifically Our Lady has called for daily prayer consisting
of 7 Our Fathers, 7 Hail Marys, 7 Glory to the Father and the Apostle's
Creed. Then the whole Rosary,
reading of the Scriptures, and personal communication with God.
-
FASTING - on bread and water twice a week (Wednesdays and Fridays)if
possible. This includes restraining oneself from personal cravings (smoking,
drinking, etc).
-
FREQUENTLY RECEIVING THE HOLY SACREMENT. She strongly encourages
monthly confessions and receiving communion as often as possible.
There are six visionaries, but only four still receive daily apparitions.
Marija receives a monthly message from Our Lady that is intended for the
world.
Monthly
message is now provided directly from Medjugorje.
Recent messages from Our Lady to the world are available:
The compiled messages from previous years are below:
Special thanks to MIR-Peace for their contributions and to Dan Doyle who
graciously sent the messages from 1984-1990 to me in electronic form.
