Fr Jozo's reflection on the 25th Message
Our Lady's message April 25, 2025
"Dear children!
The winds of unrest, selfishness and sin are affecting many hearts and leading them into unrest and ruin. Therefore, I call you, little children, to return to God and to prayer so that you may be well in your hearts and in the land on which you live.
I love you, little children, and therefore I do not tire of calling you to conversion. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Dear prayerful family,
this message of Our Lady reflects the current state of man, the troubles in society and the unrest among nations. This unrest is the fruit of a selfish heart, and war is the fruit of hatred and wickedness. Man allows himself to kill and destroy what he needs most - life, home, temples and shrines and family. And as we observe the great powers that have invested so much in weapons and look with contempt at small and poor nations, we notice how in their poor and sick hearts they have neglected the value of man. They have trampled on every dignity of man, they have destroyed his peace and freedom. Violence against the earth that God created and gave to man to feel good on it, to live, work and build the face of the earth. A soldier, a violent man hundreds of kilometers away, uses modern weapons to destroy, kill, and imprison a man, humiliating him as well as his dignity and freedom. This is a terrible sin. Such people do not count on God and His commandments, such people do not respect their conscience. This selfishness and sin, like poisonous rain, engulf many hearts and lead them to unrest and ruin. A heart possessed by evil cannot pray, cannot love, cannot believe in God. There is no peace in conscience, in the soul, it destroys the peace in one's own family and society. Such people compete in evil and when they speak, hatred, threats, curses and insults scream from their souls. Such people do not know how to talk to their children or their family. Such people carry with them a hellish atmosphere because they are in the service of the Evil One.
How to return to God and live according to the law of love? How to speak to such people about God?
Our Lady emphasizes that it is precisely then that we should return to God and prayer so that we may be well in our hearts and on earth. Once again, the Mother speaks to her children about returning to God and prayer because prayer is the power that opens the way to God. Prayer is the power that stops hatred in the heart. Prayer with the heart melts ice and a heart of stone. Prayer bestows every blessing. Prayer preserves peace and harmony in the family. Prayer leaves in us and on us every good and noble change.
Dear prayerful family, here we are at the beginning of May. This month of spring, flowers and life is dedicated to Our Lady. We call the prayer of the rosary the rosary. So the name comes from the rose. Each Hail Mary is a rose picked and given to the Mother. It is a wreath of 50 roses - Hail Marys - that we pray while contemplating the life of Our Lady and Jesus, so decorate and adorn the picture or statue of Our Lady in your family. Place the candle that we light during prayer and the reading of the Holy Scriptures, and as mothers, do something new to attract the attention of your children, because in doing so you reveal to them the greatness of the Mother of Jesus and the Mother of the Church. Never fail to pray the Litany of Our Lady. Every invocation is an immense wealth of faith, and that is May in the home, and don't forget May in the parish church, because praying with the parishioners reveals the wealth and beauty of the Church. And when the May devotion is over, take your children to the statue of Our Lady, because each visit turns into a blessing.
Our Lady says: "I love you, children, and I never tire of calling you to conversion."
Only the Mother says that. She does not tire. She is saddened if we do not respond to her call.
This month we will pray for the following intentions:
1. For the newly elected Holy Father the Pope; that he may be a father and shepherd to all of us - the Church.
2. For all pilgrims, that their encounter with the Queen of Peace may be the beginning of conversion; we pray that each pilgrim may be heard in their vows; that they may receive complete forgiveness in the church of Medjugorje.
3. For all priest confessors, that they may never lack humility and patience in celebrating the holy sacrament of reconciliation.
Our Lady's monthly message
Message, 25. March 2025
“Dear children, in this time of grace when you are called to conversion, I am encouraging you, little children: offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears for conversion of hearts that are far from the Heart of my Son Jesus. Pray with me, because, little children, without God you do not have a future or eternal life. I love you, but I cannot help you without you; therefore, say 'yes' to God. Thank you for having responded to my call. (With Ecclesiastical approval)

The annual apparition of our Lady to Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo on march 18, 2025
The visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo had daily apparitions from June 24th 1981 to December 25th 1982. During the last daily apparition, Our Lady gave her the 10th secret, and told her that she would appear to her once a year, on the 18th of March. It has been this way through the years. The apparition lasted from 13:30 to 13:35.
''Dear children! With motherly love I implore you: give me your hands folded in prayer, give me your hearts cleansed in confession and I will lead you to my Son. Because, my children, only my Son, with His light, can illuminate the darkness; only He, with His Word, can remove suffering. Therefore, do not be afraid to walk with me, because I am leading you to my Son - salvation. Thank you.''
