In June of 1981, six young people in Medjugorje,
Bosnia-Hercegovina, were stunned by the appearance of the
Blessed Virgin Mary and by her impassioned messages given for
the salvation of the world:
“Dear children, I am your Mother, the Queen
of Peace…God sends me to you out of love that I may help you
comprehend that without Him there is no future or joy and above
all, there is no eternal salvation. ...I call you to have your
life be connected with God the Creator.”
For
thirty years, out of love for each one of us, Our Blessed Mother
continues to speak to the world through these six visionaries:
“Now is a time of grace… I wish to be with
you to reconcile the world through prayer, fasting, faith,
conversion and peace…God is sending me to show you the way…Give
your hand to me…and permit me to lead you.”
Yes, now is a time to break free from
our old ways of thinking, reasoning, judging and living—a time
to embrace conversion of heart and true love for our neighbor, a
time to pray and a time to fast.
At
this conference we are encouraged to ponder this invitation from
Our Blessed Mother who copiously fills our cup with graces to
help us stay connected with God the Creator. We have but to
drink from it.
“I am your
Mother, I love you…God has permitted me to obtain graces for
you… Realize that all the earthly things are not important for
you, that only heaven is that for which it is necessary to
strive.”
“I beg of
you…to live my messages
and relate them to whomever you meet.”
