This Year's Reflections

Reflections 2011

December 25th 2011

The Christmas season is very dear to Our Lady’s heart when we celebrate the birth of Christ, the Prince of Peace. Jesus came into our world to reconcile God with humanity by forgiving our sins, and by His death and resurrection He gave us the joyful hope of looking forward to our own resurrection and eternal happiness in His heavenly kingdom. Our Lady, carrying Jesus in her arms, offers Him to us so that we may receive peace in our hearts, because Jesus is our peace, as Our Lady told us in another Christmas message in 2006:
  • Dear Children, Also today I bring you the newborn Jesus in my arms. He who is the King of Heaven and earth, He is your peace. Little children, no one can give you peace as He who is the King of Peace. Therefore, adore Him in your hearts, choose Him and you will have joy in Him. He will bless you with His blessing of peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.
The mission of Our Lady to our troubled world is to prepare us, her children, to become apostles of peace by inspiring other people to open their hearts to God’s peace, so that God’s peace may rule the world, as Our Lady explained it in another beautiful Christmas message in 2002:
  • Dear Children, This is a time of great graces, but also a time of great trials for all those who desire to follow the way of peace. Because of that, little children, again I call you to pray, pray, pray, not with words but with the heart. Live my messages and be converted. Be conscious of this gift that God has permitted me to be with you, especially today when in my arms I have little Jesus - the King of Peace. I desire to give you peace, and that you carry it in your hearts and give it to others until God's peace begins to rule the world. Thank you for having responded to my call.
In order to become effective extended hands of Our Lady in helping her mission, she is asking us to pray much for her intentions, as she told us on 25th November 2004:
  • Dear Children, At this time, I call you all to pray for my intentions. Especially, little children, pray for those who have not yet come to know the love of God and do not seek God the Saviour. You, little children, be my extended hands and by your example draw them closer to my Heart and the Heart of my Son. God will reward you with graces and every blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.
Our Lady has used another expression to describe our role in her mission, a “seed of the future” which has to grow into a firm tree and spread its branches throughout the world. This was how Our Lady explained our mission to Mirjana Soldo on 2nd December 2011:
  • Dear Children, as a mother I am with you so that with my love, prayer and example I may help you to become a seed of the future, a seed that will grow into a firm tree and spread its branches throughout the world. For you to become a seed of the future, a seed of love, implore the Father to forgive you your omissions up to now. My children, only a pure heart, unburdened by sin, can open itself and only honest eyes can see the way by which I desire to lead you. When you become aware of this you will become aware of the love of God – it will be given to you. Then you will give it to others, as a seed of love. Thank you.


November 25th 2011

Our Lady is calling us towards a time of grace to be closer to Jesus leading us to eternal life. We live in a world which through many worrying events makes us to be too much concerned about our daily life instead of opening ourselves to Jesus in order to live in a time of grace which helps us to overcome our worries by joy, the great gift of Jesus. As we come closer to Christmas, Our Lady wishes to give us the joy of Jesus, as she told us in a Thursday message on 11th December1986:
  • Dear Children, I invite you all this time of the year to pray especially in order to experience the joy of meeting the new-born Jesus. Dear Children, my wish is that you are experiencing these days in the same way as I experience them. Gladly I wish to guide you and to show you the same joy to which I want to lead each one of you. That is why, dear children, you should pray and surrender yourselves to me completely. Thank you for having responded to my call.
In order to be able to live in a time of grace to which Our Lady wants to lead us, she urges us to pray with the heart until prayer becomes a joy for us, as she told us in a beautiful message on 25th May 1992:
  • Dear Children, Today again, I am calling you afresh to prayer, so that through prayer you may come still closer to God. I am with you and wish to lead you on the path of salvation which Jesus gives you. Day by Day I am nearer to you, even though you are not aware of it and you do not admit that through the way you pray you are only at one with me to small degree. When trials and problems arise, you say: “O God O Mother, where are you?” I am waiting for you; only give me our “Yes” so that I can bring it to Jesus, and that He may bestow upon you His graces. So, once more, accept my call and start to pray afresh until your prayer becomes a joy to you; and then you will realise that God is all- powerful in your everyday life. I am with you and I am waiting for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.
We must overcome our earthly anxieties by concentrating on the ultimate purpose of our life, eternal happiness, given to us by Jesus, as Our Lady told us on 25th December 2007:
  • Dear Children, With great joy I bring you the King of Peace for Him to bless you His blessing. Adore Him and give time to the Creator for whom your heart yearns. Do not forget that you are passers-by on this earth and that things can give you small joys, while through my Son eternal life is given to you. That is why I am with you, to lead you towards what your heart yearns for. Thank you for having responded to my call.
We must also realise that Our Lady leads us not only to experience the joyful gift of Jesus, but she wants us to be light for others as she told us through Mirjana Soldo on 2nd November 2011:
  • Dear Children, The Father has not left you to yourselves. Immeasurable is His love, the love that is bringing me to you, to help you to come to know Him, so that through my Son, all of you can be one people in God’s family. However, my children, do not forget, that you are not in this world for yourselves, and that I am not calling you here only for your sake. Those who follow my Son think of the brothers in Christ as of their very selves and they do not know selfishness. That is why I desire you to be the light of my Son. That to all those who have not come to know the Father – to all those who wander in the darkness of sin, despair, pain and loneliness – you may illuminate the way and that, with your life, you may show them the love of God. I am with you. If you open your hearts, I will lead you. Again I am calling: pray for your shepherds(priests). Thank you.


October 25th 2011


In her September message Our Lady called us to bear witness to God's love and peace. In her present message Our Lady reminds us about the importance of joy in our hearts which enables us to become effective witnesses. That is why she wants us to turn to her risen Son whose resurrection is the cause of all our joy. Jesus Himself prepared His disciples for this joy before His passion. I tell you most solemnly, you will be weeping and wailing while the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy. (John 16:20).

In order to receive this great gift of joy we must trust with all our hearts in Jesus and Our Lady, as she told us on 25th April 2006:

  • Dear Children, Also today I call you to have more trust in me and my Son. He has conquered by His death and resurrection and, through me, calls you to be a part of His joy. You do not see God, little children, but if you pray you will feel His nearness. I am with you and intercede before God for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Besides trusting in Jesus and Mary, we must open our hearts to Jesus to receive His peace and joy to enable us to share His peace and joy with others, as Our Lady told us in a beautiful message on 25th January 1995:

  • Dear Children, I invite you to open the door of your heart to Jesus as the flower opens itself to the sun. Jesus desires to fill your hearts with peace and joy. You cannot, little children, realize peace if you are not at peace with Jesus. Therefore, I invite you to confession so Jesus may be your truth and peace. So, little children, pray to have strength to realize what I am telling you. I am with you and I love you. Thank you for your response to my call.

Finally, Our Lady assures us of her prayer for us so that we may experience unceasing conversion to the above ideal of being in union with Jesus and Mary, as she told us on 25th April 1996:

  • Dear Children, Today I invite you again to put prayer in the first place in your families. Little children, when God is in the first place, then you will, in all that you do, seek the will of God. In this way your daily conversion will become easier. Little children, seek with humility that which is not in order in your hearts, and you shall understand what you have to do. Conversion will become a daily duty that you will do with joy. Little children, I am with you, I bless you all and I invite you to become my witnesses by prayer and personal conversion. Thank you for having responded to my call.


September 25th 2011

We live in a time when so many conflicts in our world threaten peace among nations and people. Our Lady is calling us to regard this time as a time of witnessing to God's love and peace so that we, as extended hands of Our Lady, may change the world around us by promoting love and peace. Our Lady told us many times how to become her extended hands through living her messages, as in her message given on 25th February 2005:
  • Dear Children, Today I call you to be my extended hands in this world that puts God in the last place. You, little children, put God in the first place in your life. God will bless you and give you strength to bear witness to Him, the God of love and peace. I am with you and intercede for all of you. Little children, do not forget that I love you with a tender love. Thank you for having responded to my call.
Our Lady's mission to the world is to be fulfilled by our living the Gospel of Jesus, because Our Lady's messages are the messages of the Gospel. Our Lady's mission could be summed up in the words she spoke to the servants at the wedding-feast of Cana: Do whatever he tells you. Our Lady has called us many times to live her messages, as for instance on 25th May 2005:
  • Dear Children, I call you anew to live my messages in humility. Especially witness to them now when we are approaching the anniversary of my apparitions. Little children, be a sign to those who are far from God and His love. I am with you and bless you all with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.
In order to become effective witnesses to God's love and pace, Our Lady is calling us through her messages to lives of prayer and self-sacrifice, as she did on 25th April 1999:
  • Dear Children, Also today I call you to prayer. Little children, be joyful carriers of peace and love in this peaceless world. By fasting and prayer, witness that you are mine and that you live my messages. Pray and seek! I am praying and interceding for you before God that you convert; that your life and behavior always be Christian. Thank you for having responded to my call.
In order to appreciate Our Lady's mission to our world in calling all her children to holiness of life to become effective wtinesses, I am asking all of you who are reading my reflections to pray much for the authorities of the Church to encourage all the faithful to listen to Our Lady, who is the Teacher of the Church, as the Second Vatican Council declared with respect to Our Lady's role in the life of the Church, in the document Lumen Gentium, chapter 8.

In the Old Testament God sent prophets to His people to make them obedient to His laws but, sadly, the people killed the prophets instead of listening to them. In our time God sent His Mother, our Mother, the Queen of Prophets. The Church has appointed a Commision to investigate the Medjugorje events and we must pray that the Commission may approve the Medjugorje events as soon as possible, so that the authorities of the Church may encourage all the faithful to live the messages of Our Lady and become effective witnesses to God's love and peace.


August 25th 2011

Our Lady is urging us to help her by prayer and fasting to overcome the power of Satan who wants to destroy her plan to save the world. In an earlier message, on 25th April 1994, Our Lady asked us to help her to realise her mission through Medjugorje:
  • Dear Children, Today, I invite all of you to decide to pray for my intention. Little children, I invite all of you to help me realise my plan through this parish. Now, in a special way, little children, I invite you to decide to go the way of holiness. Only then will you be close to me. I love you and want to lead you all with me to paradise. But, if you do not pray and if you are not humble and obedient to the messages I am giving you, I cannot help you. Thank you for having responded to my call.
In another message, on 25th November 2004, Our Lady asked us to become her extended hands through our good example in drawing other people to God, to the Hearts of Jesus and Our Lady:
  • Dear Children, At this time, I call you all to pray for my intentions. Especially, little children, pray for those who have not yet come to know the love of God and do not seek God the Savior. You, little children, be my extended hands and by your example draw them closer to my Heart and the Heart of my Son. God will reward you with graces and every blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.
To become Our Lady’s extended hands we have to live her messages seriously and let them transform our life, through the power of the Holy Spirit, into a deep spiritual life, as Our Lady told us in an earlier message, on 25th December 1989:
  • Dear Children, Today I bless you in a special way with my Motherly blessing and I intercede for you to God for Him to give you the gift of the conversion of the heart. For years I have been calling you to encourage you to a profound spiritual life in simplicity, but you are so cold! There- fore, little children, accept with seriousness and live the messages for your soul not to be sad when I will not be with you anymore and when I will not guide you anymore like an insecure child in his first steps. "Therefore, little children, read everyday the messages I gave you and transform them into life. I love you and this is why I call you to the way of salvation with God. Thank you for having responded to my call.
The important aspect of holiness of life is the unity of all who live the messages of Our Lady, in union with Jesus and with each other, as Our Lady told Mirjana Soldo on 2nd August of this year:
  • Dear Children, Today I call you to be born anew in prayer and through the Holy Spirit, to become a new people with my Son; a people who knows that if they have lost God, they have lost themselves; a people who knows that, with God, despite all sufferings and trials, they are secure and saved. I call you to gather into God’s family and to be strengthened with the Father’s strength. As individuals, my children, you cannot stop the evil that wants to begin to rule in this world and to destroy it. But, according to God’s will, all together, with my Son, you can change everything and heal the world. I call you to pray with all your heart for your shepherds, because my Son chose them. Thank you.


July 25th 2011

We live in a very disturbing time when we hear so much about violence, cruelty and child sex abuse, and Our Lady reminds us that we should turn to prayer of the heart and to silent reflection on God’s love for us. Our Lady has called us many times to prayer of the heart which helps us to discover the meaning of our life when we discover God in prayer, as she told us in a beautiful message on 25th July 1997:
  • Dear Children, Today I invite you to respond to my call to prayer. I desire, dear children, that during this time you find a corner for personal prayer. I desire to lead you towards prayer with the heart. Only in this way will you comprehend that your life is empty without prayer. You will discover the meaning of your life when you discover God in prayer. That is why, little children, open the door of your heart and you will comprehend that prayer is joy without which you cannot live. Thank you for having responded to my call.
Our Lady has often used the expression Pray, pray, pray!, the meaning of which she explained to Jelena Vasilj:
  • When I say 'Pray, pray, pray!' I don’t mean only increase the hours of prayer, but increase the desire to pray and to be in contact with God, to be in a continuous prayerful state of mind.
Another way of deepening our life of prayer is the opening of our hearts to the Holy Spirit as Our Lady explained on 25th May 1993:
  • Dear Children, today I invite you to open yourselves to God by means of prayer so the Holy Spirit may begin to work miracles in you and through you. I am with you and I intercede before God for each one of you because, dear children, each one of you is important in my plan of salvation. I invite you to be carriers of good and peace. God can give you peace only if you convert and pray. Therefore, my dear little children, Pray! Pray! Pray! And do that which the Holy Spirit inspires you to do. Thank you for having responded to my call.
In order to appreciate the work of the Holy Spirit in our spiritual life, we have to understand the fact that in the Hebrew language, in which the Old Testament was written, and in the mother-tongue of Our Lord, Aramaic, the Holy Spirit is feminine in gender. This helps us to understand the words of Jesus about the Holy Spirit being our Comforter, Advocate, Counsellor, Protector (cf. John 14:16), which show us the motherly function of the Holy Spirit whom we can envisage as our Divine Mother, whose temple we are (cf. 1 Cor 3:16-17). Through the gifts of the Holy Spirit (cf. Isaiah 11: 1-2; 1 Cor 12: 4-11) and through the fruits of the Holy Spirit working in us (cf. Gal 5:22) we are shown all the motherly activities of the Holy Spirit which we should appreciate very much.


June 25th 2011

On the 25th June we celebrated the 30th anniversary of Our Lady’s mission through Medjugorje. This is a unique phenomenon in the history of the Church and it is a very sad fact that the Church as a whole is more or less ignoring her mission. Lately, Our Lady has been drawing our attention to the fact that many of her children are not living her messages, which are the messages of the gospel. In her present message Our Lady is asking us to give thanks with her to God for the great gift of her presence with us, and she is also expressing her joy in watching those of her children who are living her messages.
In the Old Testament, God sent prophets to his people urging them to conversion, but instead of doing what the prophets were asking for, they killed them. Then God sent his own Son, Jesus, for the salvation of the world, but they killed him as well. In our age God is sending his Mother, the Queen of Prophets, as Our Lady said in some of her messages, but we do not see any change in the life of the people around us. Our Lady, in her message to Mirjana Soldo on 2nd June, speaks about the above problems:
  • Dear Children, As I call you to prayer for those who have not come to know the love of God, if you were to look into your hearts you would comprehend that I am speaking about many of you. With an open heart, sincerely ask yourselves if you want the living God or do you want to eliminate Him and live as you want. Look around you, my children, and see where the world is going, the world that thinks of doing everything without the Father, and which wanders in the darkness of temptation. I am offering to you the light of the Truth and the Holy Spirit. According to God's plan I am with you to help you to have my Son, His Cross and Resurrection, triumph in your hearts. As a mother, I desire and pray for your unity with my Son and His works. I am with you; you decide. Thank you.
In her present message, Our Lady is asking us to draw closer to her Immaculate Heart so that she can lead us all towards eternity. At Fatima, when Our Lady foretold the many terrible events of the future, she also foretold that ultimately her Immaculate Heart will triumph. She has asked us several times to help her Immaculate Heart to triumph by our prayers, and sacrifices and in a beautiful message on 25th August 2000 she spoke of our participation in the victory of her Immaculate Heart:
  • Dear Children, I desire to share my joy with you. In my Immaculate Heart I feel that there are many of those who have drawn closer to me and are, in a special way, carrying the victory of my Immaculate Heart in their hearts by praying and converting. I desire to thank you and to inspire you to work even more for God and His kingdom with love and the power of the Holy Spirit. I am with you and I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.


May 25th 2011

In this message I sense the sadness of Our Lady about many of her children who failed to be converted through prayer of the heart and through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. She is praying for us and during the past thirty years she has been calling us through so many messages to conversion, like the one on 25th August 2007:
  • Dear Children, Also today I call you to conversion. May your life, little children, be a reflection of God’s goodness and not of hatred and unfaithfulness. Pray, little children, that prayer may become life for you. In this way, in your life you will discover the peace and joy which God gives to those who have an open heart to His love. And you who are far from God’s mercy, convert so that God may not become deaf to your prayers and that it may not be too late for you. Therefore, in this time of grace, convert and put God in the first place in your life. Thank you for having responded to my call.
Through conversion, by turning away from sin, we open our hearts to God’s graces to live a life of prayer, love and peace, the life of holiness through which we become the extended hands of God to help others to conversion by our example, as Our Lady told us in a beautiful message on 25th February 1997:
  • Dear Children, Today I invite you in a special way to open yourselves to God the Creator and to become active. I invite you, little children, to see at this time who needs your spiritual or material help. By your example, little children, you will be the extended hands of God, which humanity is seeking. Only in this way will you understand, that you are called to witness and to become joyful carriers of God's word and of His love. Thank you for having responded to my call.
Our Lady’s message through Mirjana Soldo on 2nd May summarises the purpose of her mission by showing us the way to salvation. Our Lady is praying also for priests to help us in our life of holiness:
  • Dear Children, God the Father is sending me to show you the way of salvation, because He, my children, desires to save you and not to condemn you.That is why I, as a mother, am gathering you around me, because with my motherly love I desire to help you to be free of the dirtiness of the past and to begin to live anew and differently. I am calling you to resurrect in my Son. Along with confession of sins, renounce everything that has distanced you from my Son and that has made your life empty and unsuccessful. Say 'yes' to the Father with the heart and set out on the way of salvation to which He is calling you through the Holy Spirit. Thank you. I am especially praying for the shepherds, for God to help them to be alongside you with a fullness of heart.
Finally, I am calling you all to pray that the Church’s commission investigating the event at Medjugorje may come to a positive decision as soon as possible in recognising the mission of Our Lady and, please, pray also that the Church authorities supports Our Lady’s mission by asking all the faithful to listen to and live her messages, in the spirit of the teaching of the Second Vatican Council which declared Our Lady’s role in the life of the Church as Mother, Teacher and Model (see the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen Gentium, chapter 8).



April 25th 2011

Our Lady compares the beautiful colours of nature at the present time to our witnessing to love with our life by drawing other people closer to her Immaculate Heart. In a beautiful message on 25th August 2000, Our Lady is encouraging us to participate even more in the victory of her Immaculate Heart:

  • Dear Children, I desire to share my joy with you. In my Immaculate Heart I feel that there are many of those who have drawn closer to me and are, in a special way, carrying the victory of my Immaculate Heart in their hearts by praying and converting. I desire to thank you and to inspire you to work even more for God and His kingdom with love and the power of the Holy Spirit. I am with you and I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Our Lady wants to inspire us to work even more for God and his Kingdom with the love and the power of the Holy Spirit so that the risen Lord Jesus may be with us to become his witnesses as Our Lady told us in another beautiful message on 25th March 2005:

  • Dear Children, Today I call you to love. Little children, love each other with God’s love. At every moment, in joy and in sorrow, may love prevail and, in this way, love will begin to reign in your hearts. The risen Jesus will be with you and you will be His witnesses. I will rejoice with you and protect you with my motherly mantle. Especially, little children, I will watch your daily conversion with love. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Through all her messages during the past thirty years Our Lady has been teaching us to become missionaries of her messages of peace and love, the flame of love, by passing them on to the whole world as she called us to do on 25th February 1995:

  • Dear Children, Today I invite you to become missionaries of my messages, which I am giving here through this place that is dear to me. God has allowed me to stay this long with you; and therefore, little children, I invite you to live with love the messages I give and to transmit them to the whole world, so that a river of love flows to people who are full of hatred and without peace. I invite you, little children, to become peace where there is no peace and light where there is darkness, so that each heart accepts the light and the way of salvation. Thank you for your response to my call.

Our Lady is praying for us that our life may be a reflection of Heaven here on earth by being in union with our Heavenly Father through prayer and love, as she told us through Mirjana Soldo on 2nd April:

  • Dear Children, With motherly love I desire to open the heart of each of you and to teach you personal unity with the Father. To accept this, you must comprehend that you are important to God and that He is calling you individually. You must comprehend that your prayer is a conversation of a child with the Father; that love is the way by which you must set out - love for God and for your neighbour. That is, my children, the love that has no boundaries, that is the love that emanates from truth and goes to the end. Follow me, my children, so that also others, in recognizing the truth and love in you, may follow you. Thank you.


March 25th 2011

Our Lady’s latest message is a continuation of her previous monthly message about conversion, with the emphasis on conversion as from today by a joyful living of God’s will at every moment of our life. What kind of conversion is Our Lady calling us to? It is a daily conversion which enables us to become joyful witnesses for Jesus, as she told us on 25th February 1993:

  • Dear Children, Today I bless you with my Motherly Blessing and invite you all to conversion. I want everyone of you to decide for a change of life and each of you to work more in the church, not through words and thoughts but through example, so that your life may be a joyful witnessing for Jesus. You cannot say that you are converted, because your life must become a daily conversion. In order to understand what you have to do, little children, pray, and God will give you what you concretely have to do, and where you have to change. I am with you and place you all under my mantle. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Joyful living of God’s will at every moment of our life, seeking God’s will in everything that we do, is a special aspect of our daily conversion as Our lady told us in another beautiful message on 25th April 1996:

  • Dear Children, Today I invite you again to put prayer in the first place in your families. Little children, when God is in the first place, then you will seek the will of God in all that you do. In this way your daily conversion will become easier. Little children, seek with humility that which is not in order in your hearts, and you shall understand what you have to do. Conversion will become a daily duty that you will do with joy. Little children, I am with you, I bless you all and I invite you to become my witnesses by prayer and personal conversion. Thank you for having responded to my call.

The most important aspect of our daily conversion is to live a life of love, to love with God’s love, as Our Lady explained in another message on 25th March 2005:

  • Dear Children, Today I call you to love. Little children, love each other with God’s love. At every moment, in joy and in sorrow, may love prevail and, in this way, love will begin to reign in your hearts. The risen Jesus will be with you and you will be His witnesses. I will rejoice with you and protect you with my motherly mantle. Especially, little children, I will watch your daily conversion with love. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Such daily conversion enables us to become apostles of Our Lady’s love for all her children and to become an example of those who do not know God’s love. Fasting and prayer give us strength to help Our Lady in her mission to save the world. Our Lady explained this to Mirjana Soldo in her message on the 2nd of March:

  • Dear Children, My motherly heart suffers tremendously as I look at my children who persistently put what is human before what is of God, at my children who, despite everything that surrounds them and despite all the signs that are sent to them, think that they can walk without my Son. They cannot! They are walking to eternal perdition. That is why I am gathering you, who are ready to open your heart to me, you who are ready to be apostles of my love, to help me; so that by living God’s love you may be an example to those who do not know it. May fasting and prayer give you strength in that, and I bless you with the motherly blessing in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Thank you.


February 25th 2011

As we are coming closer to the season of spring, Our Lady uses the budding trees as an example for our own fruitfulness through conversion. Our Lady has been calling us to conversion in many messages right from the beginning of her Thursday messages on 8th March 1984:
  • Dear Children, Thank you for your response to my call. Dear children, in this parish, start converting yourselves. In that way, all those who come here will be able to convert.
Our Lady’s first monthly message calling us to conversion was on 25th February 1987:
  • Dear Children, Today I want to wrap you all in my mantle and lead you all along the way of conversion. Dear children, I beseech you, surrender to the Lord your entire past, all the evil that has accumulated in your hearts. I want each one of you to be happy. Therefore, dear children, pray, and in prayer you shall realize a new way of joy. Joy will manifest in your hearts and thus you shall be joyful witness of that which I and My Son want from each one of you. I am blessing you. Thank you for having responded to my call.
In this message Our Lady speaks of the first step on our way to conversion: repentance for our sins.

Regarding Our Lady’s way of conversion she is emphasising the importance of prayer and the work of the Holy Spirit, as she told us on 25th July 1995:
  • Dear Children, I am calling you today to prayer, because only in prayer can you understand my coming here. The Holy Spirit will enlighten you to understand that you must convert. Little children, I wish to make of you a most beautiful bouquet prepared for eternity, but you do not accept the way of conversion, the way of salvation that I am offering you through these apparitions. Little children, pray, convert your heart and come closer to me. May good overcome evil. I love you and bless you. Thank you for having responded to my call.
Transformation and change of life is the work of the Holy Spirit, as Our Lady told us in a beautiful message on 25th May 1998:
  • Dear Children, Today I call you, through prayer and sacrifice, to prepare yourselves for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Little children, this is a time of grace and so, again, I call you to decide for God the Creator. Allow Him to transform and change you. May your heart be prepared to listen to, and live, everything which the Holy Spirit has in His plan for each of you. Little children, allow the Holy Spirit to lead you on the way of truth and salvation towards eternal life. Thank you for having responded to my call.
In conclusion, I wish to quote Our Lady’s messages on how we should pray, given to Mirjana Soldo on 2nd February 2011:
  • Dear Children, You are gathering around me, you are seeking your way, you are seeking the truth but are forgetting what is the most important, you are forgetting to pray properly. Your lips pronounce countless words, but your spirit does not feel anything. Wandering in darkness, you even imagine God Himself according to yourselves, and not such as He really is in His love. Dear children, proper prayer comes from the depth of your heart, from your suffering, from your joy, from your seeking the forgiveness of sins. This is the way to come to know the right God and by that also yourselves, because you are created according to Him. Prayer will bring you to the fulfilment of my desire, of my mission here with you, to unity in God's family. Thank you.


January 25th 2011



In the past, in most of her messages, Our Lady has been calling us to prayer, prayer of the heart, fasting, conversion, and holiness of life, in order to become apostles of the Gospel in our time, to bring about the reign of peace and joy in the world. In her present message, Our Lady is expressing her thanks and joy to us for following her teaching and she is foretelling that peace and joy will reign in the world. This is a most encouraging and uplifting message for us in our present troubled world, and this message should encourage us to live by her messages which are the messages of the Gospel. Our Lady reminds us that our conversion and transformation are the work of the Holy Spirit through whose help God’s Kingdom will come, as Our Lady told us on 25th August 2000:
  • Dear Children, I desire to share my joy with you. In my Immaculate Heart I feel that there are many of those who have drawn closer to me and are, in a special way, carrying the victory of my Immaculate Heart in their hearts by praying and converting. I desire to thank you and to inspire you to work even more for God and His kingdom with love and the power of the Holy Spirit. I am with you and I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.
We feel that there is a great need in the Church for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit, as Our Lady told us on 25th May 1998:
  • Dear Children, Today I call you, through prayer and sacrifice, to prepare yourselves for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Little children, this is a time of grace and so, again, I call you to decide for God the Creator. Allow Him to transform and change you. May your heart be prepared to listen to, and live, everything which the Holy Spirit has in His plan for each of you. Little children, allow the Holy Spirit to lead you on the way of truth and salvation towards eternal life. Thank you for having responded to my call.
In union with Jesus and the Holy Spirit we become united with the Heavenly Father as well, and thus in union with the Holy Trinity, the Divine Family, we realise that we are God’s family, as Our Lady told us through Mirjana Soldo on the 2nd January this year:
  • Dear Children, Today I call you to unity in Jesus, my Son. My motherly heart prays that you may comprehend that you are God's family. Through the spiritual freedom of will, which the Heavenly Father has given you, you are called to become cognizant of the truth, the good or the evil. May prayer and fasting open your hearts and help you to discover the Heavenly Father through my Son. In discovering the Father, your life will be directed to carrying out of God's will and the realization of God's family in the way that my Son desire. I will not leave you alone on this path. Thank you.
In conclusion I am asking you for your prayers that the Church Commission presently investigating the Medjugorje events may soon declare the authenticity of Our Lady’s mission through Medjugorje, and that the Holy Father may ask all members of the Church to listen to Our Lady, whom the Second Vatican Council in the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen Gentium, in chapter eight about the role of Our Lady in the life of the Church, declared to be the Mother, Teacher and Model of the Church.
