Mary, the mother of Jesus, has been giving messages to six people since 1981 in Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina. A message for the world is given on the 25th of the month. The message is peace, rosary, Mass, confession, fasting on Fridays.
Mary wants the world to love Jesus, ourselves and others.
At the start of the apparitions, Communist soldiers tormented the child visionaries. At first, villagers were not getting along but the Franciscan priest told them to forgive. St. James, the village church is filled with worshippers and pilgrims. Millions come from around the world to pray.
The Blessed Mother said she would give messages like never before in the history of the world. She has said: Pray until prayer becomes a joy to you; accept the good and bad of every day; pray before the cross where graces flow.
In Medjugorje, the Franciscan priest spoke to us for five hours on Jesus and Mary.
