Our Lady's message, March 25, 2025.
"Dear children! In this time of grace when you are called to conversion, I urge you, little children, to show me your prayers, sufferings and tears for the conversion of hearts that are far from the heart of my Son Jesus. Pray with me, little children, because without God you have no 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 church approval)
Dear prayerful families,
this is the Lenten time in which we are called to conversion. This is a time of grace, a time of prayer and sacrifice, a time of our return to the Father who awaits us at the open door. Every heart longs to cross this threshold of reconciliation, we long to enter and embrace the Father, and the Mother calls and her voice is recognized by every heart and the Church recognizes it and vouches for Her.
She has come out to the door of mercy and calls us to present to her our prayers, our sufferings and tears for the conversion of hearts that have distanced themselves from the Heart of Jesus and his love. The words “pray with me” reflect the strong maternal love in which she teaches us to pray as she prays, and for almost forty-four years of her school of prayer in Medjugorje. Every pilgrim comes like a thirsty traveler to a spring. That pure water will quench their thirst and refresh the tired traveler and will fill their vessels with water.
The pilgrim in Medjugorje is at the spring of grace. Everyone prays and thus gives to every newly arrived brother to drink. We are all deeply aware that we need others, their example, their testimony of the spring of grace from which we all drink and we are all reborn in the gifts that the Lord gives us: the Sacrament of Reconciliation – Holy Confession, then the Sacrament of the Eucharist, the eating of that bread from heaven that has every sweetness in itself, and that is why she tells us as a Mother: - Without God you have no future or eternal life.
A man without God is torn from his roots, uprooted and dries up. He becomes a dried-up spring, a tap from which no water flows. A man without God is a man without a goal. And his tragedy is that he does not know where he comes from or where he is going. He is a lost stranger among his own.
Therefore, the Queen of Peace urges everyone: - Show me your prayers and sufferings, your tears for conversion. How many mothers do we know who have shed tears for their children, priests who have shown themselves through fasting and prayer for the conversion of parishioners? How many and how long have prayers been held in Medjugorje for the conversion of pilgrims. Our Lady points to them and counts on them, urging, show me your prayers, pains and tears. A man without God is like the foolish virgin who forgets her lamp and oil. Today, Medjugorje can point to millions of pilgrims who have obeyed the Queen of Peace. This power of grace stands in opposition to hatred, wars, disasters and all the delusions of our time. A man without God is always a loser. Like the prodigal son, he lives his error and in the end, disappointed, seeks the way to his loving Father.
The Holy Father Francis, the Pope, has opened the door wide and shown us the Father who is at home and waiting for us.
Europe will not be saved by new, more powerful weapons, but by returning to the heritage of our Church, our faith. Dear brothers and sisters, leave your errors and wanderings, return to Jesus, return to the Church that opened the door of mercy and love of the Father.
This month we will pray for the following intentions:
1. That the family may prepare through fasting and prayer for Easter confession and communion
2. For peace in Ukraine and Russia, for peace in Israel and Palestine
3. For the Holy Father Pope Francis and his health, for all priest confessors, that they may receive us sinners with a great and merciful heart. Fr Jozo Zovko

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.''
