This Year's Reflections


25th May 2013
Our Lady’s message is another serious call to a life of prayer and to be strong in faith in order to overcome all the temptations of the godless world we live in, and to grow in the love that unites us with God.

There is no peace without prayer and there is no love without faith, as Our Lady told us on 25th March 1995:
  • Dear Children, Today I invite you to live peace in your hearts and families. There is no peace, little children, where there is no prayer; and there is no love where there is no faith. Therefore, little children, I invite you all to decide again today for conversion. I am close to you and I invite you all, little children, into my embrace to help you. But you do not want it; so Satan is tempting you, and in the smallest things your faith disappears. This is why, dear children, pray; and through prayer, you will have blessing and peace. Thank you for your response to my call.

Our Lady’s mission through Medjugorje is to help us to live the Gospel of Jesus, to live the holiness of life that prepares us for eternal happiness. Our Lady emphasises the importance of prayer so that Jesus be born in all hearts, as she said on 25th November  2003:

  • Dear Children, I call you that this time be for you an even greater incentive to prayer. In this time, little children, pray that Jesus be born in all hearts, especially in those who do not know Him. Be love, joy and peace in this peaceless world. I am with you and intercede before God for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.


Our Lady wants us to place prayer in the first place in our life, so that prayer may be a joy for us, as she told us on 25th May 2002:
  • Dear Children, Today I call you to put prayer in the first place in your life. Pray and may prayer, little children, be a joy for you. I am with you and intercede for all of you, and you, little children, be joyful carriers of my messages. May your life with me be joy. Thank you for having responded to my call.
Our Lady wants us to be with Jesus always through prayer, so that he may change and transform us with his love, as Our Lady previously reminded us on 25th July 1998:
  • Dear Children, Today, little children, I invite you, through prayer, to be with Jesus, so that through a personal experience of prayer you may be able to discover the beauty of God's creatures. You cannot speak or witness about prayer, if you do not pray. That is why, little children, in the silence of the heart, remain with Jesus, so that He may change and transform you with His love. This, little children, is a time of grace for you. Make good use of it for your personal conversion, because when you have God, you have everything. Thank you for having responded to my call.
At the end of her message, as always, Our Lady states that she is with us and intercedes for all of us, and prays for our conversion.
