MESSAGES IN 2010 Message, 25. May 2010 "Dear children! God gave you the grace to live and to defend all the good that is in you and around you, and to inspire others to be better and holier; but Satan, too, does not sleep and through modernism diverts you and leads you to his way. Therefore, little children, in the love for my Immaculate Heart, love God above everything and live His commandments. In this way, your life will have meaning and peace will rule on earth. Thank you for having responded to my call." 05/2010
Message of 25, April 2010 "Dear children! At this time, when in a special way you are praying and seeking my intercession, I call you, little children, to pray so that through your prayers I can help you to have all the more hearts be opened to my messages. Pray for my intentions. I am with you and I intercede before my Son for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call." 04/2010 Our Lady blessed all people and all the religious articles that we had for blessing. As Our Lady was leaving Mirjana saw a large golden Cross behind Our Lady. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message of April 2, 2010 to Mirjana "Dear children; Today I bless you in a special way and I pray for you to return to the right way, to my Son - your Savior, your Redeemer – to Him who gave you eternal life. Reflect on everything human, on everything that does not permit you to set out after my Son – on transience, imperfection and limitation - and then think of my Son, of His Divine infiniteness. By your surrender and prayer ennoble your body and perfect your soul. Be ready, my children. Thank you." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Message of March 25, 2010 "Dear children! Also today I desire to call you all to be strong in prayer and in the moments when trials attack you. Live your Christian vocation in joy and humility and witness to everyone. I am with you and I carry you all before my Son Jesus, and He will be your strength and support. Thank you for having responded to my call." 03/2010 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Apparition To Mirjana - March 18, 2010 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. Several thousand pilgrims gathered in prayer of the Rosary at the 'Blue Cross'. The apparition lasted from 13:50 to 13:54. "Dear children! Today I call you to love with all your heart and with all your soul. Pray for the gift of love, because when the soul loves it calls my Son to itself. My Son does not refuse those who call Him and who desire to live according to Him. Pray for those who do not comprehend love, who do not understand what it means to love. Pray that God may be their Father and not their Judge. My children, you be my apostles, be my river of love. I need you. Thank you." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message of March 02, 2010 "Dear children, In this special time of your effort to be all the closer to my Son, to His suffering, but also to the love with which He bore it, I desire to tell you that I am with you. I will help you to triumph over errors and temptations with my grace. I will teach you love, love which wipes away all sins and makes you perfect, love which gives you the peace of my Son now and forever. Peace with you and in you, because I am the Queen of Peace. Thank you." 03/02/2010 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message of February 25, 2010 "Dear children! In this time of grace, when nature also prepares to give the most beautiful colors of the year, I call you, little children, to open your hearts to God the Creator for Him to transform and mould you in His image, so that all the good which has fallen asleep in your hearts may awaken to a new life and a longing towards eternity. Thank you for having responded to my call." 02/2010 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message of February 02, 2010 "Dear children; With motherly love, today I call you to be a lighthouse to all souls who wander in the darkness of ignorance of God's love. That you may shine all the brighter and draw all the more souls, do not permit the untruths which come out of your mouth to silence your conscience. Be perfect. I am leading you with my motherly hand – a hand of love. Thank you." 02/02/2010 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message of January 25, 2010 "Dear children! May this time be a time of personal prayer for you, so that the seed of faith may grow in your hearts; and may it grow into a joyful witness to others. I am with you and I desire to inspire you all: grow and rejoice in the Lord Who has created you. Thank you for having responded to my call." 01/2010 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message of January 02, 2010 "Dear children, Today I am calling you to, with complete trust and love, set out with me, because I desire to acquaint you with my Son. Do not be afraid, my children, I am here with you, I am next to you. I am showing you the way to forgive yourselves, to forgive others, and, with sincere repentance of heart, to kneel before the Father. Make everything die in you that hinders you from loving and saving - that you may be with Him and in Him. Decide for a new beginning, a beginning of sincere love of God Himself. Thank you." 01/02/2010 |
| REPORT ON SUN STARING IN MEDJUGORJE It seems that a 39-year-old man presented to the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital,in October 1986 complained of blurred vision and black spots in front of his left eye. He had returned from Medjugorje On 30 September and in the late afternoon he had stared at the sun and believed he had seen a vision. The following day he stared at the sun hoping to see the same vision. After a protracted length of time staring at the sun, believed to be 45 minutes, He noticed a black spot, and when he looked away the black spot remained. His vision was badly impaired and blurred and worsened over the next day. So much so, he was unable to recognise people, but over the next week his vision improved. It also seems a 58-year-old man presented to the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital in October 1985 after having a simular experience only this time in Ireland, complained of blurred vision affecting both eyes and inability to read print in front of him. The onset of symptoms was a week prior to presentation. While praying at a statue of Our Lady in Monasterevin, Co. Kildare, he had gazed at the sun for approximately six minutes in an effort to see an apparition. It was a weak October sky and he was wearing untinted lenses. While he was staring at the sun it turned black, but he could still see the edges. He looked away, the black spots persisted, and his vision was blurred.
Notice: This information is not to impair someones experience in Medjugorje just to give them the information to choose. It also has no reflexion on my personal opinions. |

Pilgrims from Korea, 29 of them, in the age from nine to seventy-eight, together with their priest Agnello W.Choi climbed the Cross Mountain on Saturday morning on their knees, in the honour of the 28th Anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions in Medjugorje. Father Agnello Choi has been in Medjugorje already on six occasions, and this, seventh time decided to come with the special prayer intention for the peace at Korean peninsula, that is going through difficult political troubles. Six full hours were needed in order for this group of pilgrims to climb to the top of the Cross Mountain (520 m above the sea level). Lots of sweat and sacrifices were needed, but at the end they succeeded and reached the top without major cuts and scratches, and as they came to the foot of the Cross they all together celebrated and praised the Saviour and Redeemer of the human kind – Jesus Christ! Agnello Woonseok Choi, in atmosphere full of joy and union with his pilgrims, one day after the climb looks renewed and full of strength. He emphasises how this difficult climb was not the first climb they had taken, and if God provides it will not be the last as well. In this way pilgrims become aware that this is not religious tourism, but pilgrimage. He plans to continue with pilgrimages of gratitude to Our Lady. |

Fr. Reinfried Frei (90) from Switzerland, a missionary in Tanzania for 61 years now, came in October 2008 for the tenth time to Medjugorje as a spiritual counselor of a group of Swiss pilgrims. Whenever he is on vacation in Europe, he responds gladly to the invitation of the organizers of pilgrimages who need a priest to accompany their group. Fr. Reinfried has a great admiration for Fr. Slavko Barbaric whom he knew personally. He is very enthusiastic about Medjugorje and thinks that this is “a hope for the Church in Europe”. |

Lights camera ,action!!! If there are any groups going to Medjugorje who wish to memoralise their pilgrimage with photographs. I am available to come along. Having said that as one can appreciate this will not be so much a pilgrimage for me, as many people want there photographs taken, and therefore it can be a rather demanding and consuming time. Which is something i can deal with. Send me an e mail if yoo need someone to capture those special moments. It is important however that should a group decide on a photographer, that they realise that photographs may be taken without there prior knowledge, after all this is how some of the best photographs are taken...naturally. to see some photographs taken by me , click on the pilgrimage page in the main menu. |

OSCAR WINNER @ 80 I am sure Oscar won't mind me mentioning this, he was not born at the time of Fatima. But he was one of the first people up to the summit of Mount Krizevac on Oct 3rd 2006, not that it was a race of course as this is the way of the cross. But @ 80 years and something that is still quiet a feat Oscar. in the background you can just see Saint James parish, the big white area. Well done Oscar the rest of your team are still climbing I expect. The way of the cross is best experiened here if you read Father Slavko's "Pray from the Heart" book available from the official bookshop next to the church. This hill is where Father Slavko said his final rosary on 24th November 2000 and then blessed everyone and passed away peacefully up at the top near the White cross... Everyone misses him dearly. But Our Lady told us in a message the next day on the 25th Nov. I rejoice with you and wish to tell you that your brother Slavko has been born again in Heaven and intercedes for you........ Please bless this site Father Slavko.............................. |

Apparitions : Mirjana October 2nd 2006
While I was in Medjugorje I had the good fortune to go to Comunita Cenecola, where Mirjana, one of the visionaries, was to have an apparition on Monday October 2nd. We got up at the crack of dawn...O.K so it wasn't the crack of dawn but near too it, and made a short Taxi drive where there was a crowd of several thousand people. I managed to get inside the building where I saw Father Anselm who I should mention is on pilgrimage as he celebrates 52 years in the monastic life..Hello M.S.B. Any how I decided to leave the building as there were some people disrespectful to anyone and everyone in there determination to see Our Lady, so I went outside. but I still enjoyed the experience immensely and would go again, here is the message Mirjana recieved Dear children, I am coming to you in this your time, to direct the call to eternity to you. This is the call of love. I call you to love, because only through love will you come to know the love of God. Many think they have faith in God and that they know his laws. They try to live according to them, but they do not do what is the most important; they do not love him. My children pray and fast. This is the way which will help you to open yourselves and to love. Only through the love of God is eternity gained. I am with you. I will lead you with the motherly love. Thank you for having responded.” Our Lady also mentioned “My children, priests hands are blessed hands of my son, respect them.

Rosary Crusade of Reparation:
On Saturday 14 October the Rosary Crusade of Reparation took place, with people assembling outside Westminster Cathedral. Taking a route to the Brompton Oratory. The sermon was preached by Fr Tim Finigan. and it was wonderful at that. He talked about Our Lady of Fatima amongst other things. It was truly inspiring, I got some lovely photos on route. What a wonderful rosary crusade and a great ending at Brompton Oratory, Thank you Father Tim Finigan for your great Sermon on Marian values & Fatima etc. I also met people who had just come back from Medjugorje with me, and people who had just got back the following week after me. I shall leave these photos up for now. So anyone seeing them if they would be so kind as to pass on medjugorjenews.org address. it would be much appreciated, and also a mention of the devotional song would be good P.R and worth a pat on the back...so well done  |

Fatima Big 80 More power to the rosaryPope John Paul II message to Venerable Brother Serafim de Sousa Ferreira e Silva "Quote" The 80th anniversary of that 13 October 1917, when the miraculous "dance of the sun" occurred in the sky, is an excellent occasion for me to turn in spirit to that shrine, since I cannot do so in person, with a prayer to the Mother of God for the preparation of the Christian people — and in a certain way of all humanity — for the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000, and with an exhortation to families and ecclesial communities to recite the Rosary daily. |
