A beautiful spring day in Medjugorje – As one journeys to the base of Cross Mountain, they are graced with the above view. From the beautiful spring flowers, to the vineyards and gardens of the villagers, to St. James Church and the village of Medjugorje, it speaks to us of change, growth, peace, and of the love of God the Creator towards His children. Every pilgrim who goes to Medjugorje, whether physically or in the heart, desires an awakening in the heart to the grace and love of God. What a gift we have been given by God to have Our Lady with us for so long to teach us how to love, to forgive, to pray, to hope, to convert. May we listen to Her and allow Her to take us all to Her Son.

“Dear children! Rejoice with me in this time of spring when all nature is awakening and your hearts long for change. Open yourselves, little children, and pray. Do not forget that I am with you and I desire to take you all to my Son and He may give you the gift of sincere love towards God and everything that is from Him. Open yourselves to prayer and seek a conversion of your hearts from God; everything else He sees and provides. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
