Our Lady’s Message
July 25, 2025
“Dear children!
In this time of grace, when the Most High permits me to love you and lead you on the way of holiness, Satan wants to entangle you with the cord of peacelessness and hatred. Do not permit him to prevail, but, little children, fight for the holiness of every life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With Ecclesiastical approval)
Dear prayer family, Our Lady calls this time a time of grace. And it truly is. It is a great grace for every pilgrim who makes the pilgrimage, who climbs Apparition Hill and Cross Mountain and offers their sacrifices and prayers. It is a grace to celebrate Mass in dozens of world languages and immerse one’s prayer and faith in the mystery of the Church. It is a grace to kneel before a priest in Medjugorje and shed the former self. It is a grace in Medjugorje to melt a heart of stone and begin to pray with a devoted heart. It is a grace in Medjugorje to meet the visionaries and their families.
It is a grace to say with an enthusiastic heart in Medjugorje before the face of the Queen of Peace: “I renounce cigarettes, I leave drugs and alcohol”. It is a grace in Medjugorje to feel the Church that glorifies the Lord in all languages. What a grace it is for Medjugorje to feel the guidance of the Queen of Peace. Those pilgrims who are devoted to the Holy Mother show this with their lives, incorporating their whole lives into prayer and the Eucharist. Our Lady warns us about Satan and his activity. When we consider small things, they can reveal a lot to us. Like when it is time for prayer in the shrine and you tell yourself that you have already prayed, so that you can have your coffee during that time. And you abandon prayer. Satan has succeeded. He often times succeeds with a person wearing an unusual outfit or hairstyle. You wander away, leaving behind prayer and the Church.
Our Lady uses the word “cord” for a series of temptations. Saint Francis teaches: if a sparrow's legs or wings are tied by just one thread, it cannot fly. It is trapped. Satan binds every man with the cord of trials and temptations. The hatred that is born in the heart of man is a disease, a shackle with which Satan binds and captures man. Such a heart cannot pray, such a heart cannot hear the voice of God, such a heart has been taken by Satan. Do not let him prevail - warns the Mother.
Dear prayer family, these are difficult times in which bread is taken away from the poor and given for weapons. Satan insinuates and suggests war every day, and war achieves nothing but hatred and death. If humanity does not know how to stop war in their hatred, the people of faith and prayer know: “Stop war with fasting and prayer,” said the Queen of Peace at the very beginning. This time is a time of grace and we should awaken in our hearts the longing for peace and do everything that Our Lady asks of us.
This month we will pray for the following intentions:
1. We will pray for the Holy Father, the Pope, that God may give him wisdom and strength so that the Lord may be glorified in him to stop wars and conflicts between nations.
2. For all young people, and especially for the participants of the youth festival in Medjugorje, to become builders of peace and love.
3. For all pilgrims to receive the grace of healing of soul and body, for the conversion of all. For the visionaries and their families to bear witness with their lives and work.

Decree on Plenary Indulgence in Medjugorje
Febuary 20th, 2025
DECREE
THE APOSTOLIC PENITENTIARY, with the purpose of increasing the piety of the faithful and the salvation of souls, by virtue of the faculties bestowed upon him in a most special way by our Most Holy Father in Christ Our Lord, POPE FRANCIS, BY DIVINE PROVIDENCE, attentively considering the recent petitions presented by His Excellency ALDO CAVALLI, Titular Archbishop of Vibo, Apostolic Visitor for the Parish of Saint James the Apostle in Medjugorje, of the Diocese of Mostar-Duvno, graciously grants a PLENARY INDULGENCE from the treasury of the Church's heavenly mercy, under the usual conditions (sacramental Confession, Eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff), to the faithful who are truly penitent and moved by charity, which they can obtain throughout the Ordinary JUBILEE YEAR OF 2025, and which they can also use as a prayer for the souls of the faithful in purgatory if they make a pilgrimage to the PARISH CHURCH OF ST. JAMES THE APOSTLE IN MEDJUGORJE and devoutly participate in the Jubilee rites there or at least dedicate appropriate time to pious prayers, including the Lord's Prayer, the Creed and the invocations of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The elderly, the infirm, and all those who for serious reasons cannot leave their homes, can likewise obtain the Plenary Indulgence, having conceived the intention of detachment from any sin and with the intention of fulfilling, as soon as they are able, the three usual conditions, if they spiritually unite themselves to the jubilee celebrations, offering their prayers, sufferings, or the inconveniences of their own lives to the merciful God.
Therefore, to facilitate access to divine forgiveness through the keys of the Church out of pastoral charity, this Penitentiary earnestly requests that priests endowed with appropriate faculties to hear confessions make themselves available with a prompt, generous, and merciful spirit for the celebration of Penance.
This decree is valid throughout the Ordinary Jubilee Year of 2025. No contrary provisions shall hinder its execution.
Given in Rome, at the Apostolic Penitentiary, on the 24th day of December, in the year of the Incarnation of the Lord 2024.
