Medjugorje Overview

MedjThe Blessed Virgin Mary has been appearing to six children (now adults), in a small village in Bosnia-Herzegovina called Medjugorje, from June 24, 1981 until the present.

She is only visible (except once) to the six people. She still appears daily to three of the six people, and appears once a year to the remaining three people. In addition she appears once a month to two of the people.

She has given a total of ten secrets to three of the people, and nine to the remaining three. After all six people have all of the ten secrets, she will stop appearing to them daily, and the secrets will begin to happen. Some pertain to the local area and visionaries, and the remaining are for the entire world. The third secret is a beautiful indestructible and not from this world sign for all nonbelievers to see and convert, which will be left on Apparition Hill, the site of her first appearance. The seventh secret has been diminished through the prayers and fasting. The ninth and tenth secrets are chastisements for the entire world.

In Our Lady's own words, "I have come to tell the world that God Exists. He is the fullness of life, and to enjoy this fullness and peace, you must return to God".

Our Lady's purpose for coming to earth is to guide each one of us back to her Son Jesus. Our Lady's message is the same message proclaimed by John the Baptist. Our Lady points the way to her Son Jesus, and pleads for us to "repent", to change our lives to lives with God in the first place.

January 25, 2012 Message to Marija

“Dear children! With joy, also today I call you to open your hearts and to listen to my call. Anew, I desire to draw you closer to my Immaculate Heart, where you will find refuge and peace. Open yourselves to prayer, until it becomes a joy for you. Through prayer, the Most High will give you an abundance of grace and you will become my extended hands in this restless world which longs for peace. Little children, with your lives witness faith and pray that faith may grow day by day in your hearts. I am with you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

 

 January 2, 2011 - Our Lady's apparitions to Mirjana

“Dear children; As with motherly concern I look in your hearts, in them I see pain and suffering; I see a wounded past and an incessant search; I see my children who desire to be happy but do not know how. Open yourselves to the Father. That is the way to happiness, the way by which I desire to lead you. God the Father never leaves His children alone, especially not in pain and despair. When you comprehend and accept this, you will be happy. Your search will end. You will love and you will not be afraid. Your life will be hope and truth which is my Son. Thank you. I implore you, pray for those whom my Son has chosen. Do not judge because you will all be judged.”

Annual apparition to Jakov

At the last daily apparition to Jakov Colo on September 12th, 1998, Our Lady told him that henceforth he would have one apparition a year, every December 25th, on Christmas Day. This is also how it was this year. The apparition began at 3:30 pm and lasted 11 minutes. Our Lady's Message to Jakov:
“Dear children! Today, in a special way, I desire to take you to and give you over to my Son. Little children, open your hearts and permit Jesus to be born in you, because only in this way, little children, you yourselves will be able to experience your new birth and set out with Jesus in your hearts towards the way of salvation. Thank you for having responded to my call. ”
