In the Love of Our Lady,

One of the main messages of Our Lady of Medjugorje is Confession. Many hearts are healed through the confessionals in Medjugorje. Many priests experience a complete renewal of their priesthood through the confessionals in Medjugorje. One’s pilgrimage is not complete without opening your heart to God’s healing power, love and mercy through His incredible gift of the sacrament of Confession. It is a sacrament that truly brings one from darkness to the light, the light of God’s love.
