Monthly Message from the Queen of Peace of Medjugorje: July 2025

  "Dear children!  In this time of grace, when the Most High permits me to love you and lead you on the way of holiness, Satan wants to entangle you with the cord of peacelessness and hatred.  Do not permit him to prevail, but, little children, fight for the holiness of every life.  Thank you for having responded to my call."

It's the same Woman ...

The cloud-figure below was photographed yesterday morning - Friday, 7/18/2025.  It appeared as I drove to work just when I started praying the Rosary; the Luminous Mysteries, to be exact, which I always offer for the conversion of sinners, beginning with myself.

In person, the figure clearly resembled a familiar depiction of the Virgin Mary and, given its opportune timing, I was convinced it represented her maternal presence.  I sensed she gave this latest sign to encourage ... to intercede ... to pray and to receive prayer on behalf of her Son.

This author admits - it seems like I'm sometimes blogging the same, exact story over and over when it comes to signal graces I've unexpectedly received from Our Lady while engaged in the Rosary ... but it's generally how these unusual events occur: 90% of my personal encounters with seemingly holy images involve the Rosary Prayer before, during, or after.  If one lumps all of these similar stories together, they actually amount to a coherent testimonial as to the extraordinary blessings that are possible if one just commits to a filial relationship with our Heavenly Mother, and recite her favorite prayer frequently.

... and it just dawned on me how the figures look remarkably the same from one sighting to the next (note the above examples), but it makes sense, though - it is, after all, the same Woman.

"And there appeared a great wonder in

heaven; a woman clothed with the sun ..."

- Revelation 12:12

... and how she loves us very, very much!  So, if you aren't already practicing it, LOVE OUR HOLY MOTHER MARY ... FOLLOW WHAT SHE SAYS (see here and here) ... and PRAY THE ROSARY DAILY.  Her motherly presence and love will come alive in your own life, too!

Our Lady of the Rosary,

pray for us!

Breaking News: Another Marian Apparition approved by the Vatican!

  

Just a few days ago, on July 9, 2025, the Vatican issued a "nihil obstat" related to the reported Marian apparitions of Litmanová.  It's basically a green light - an official Church approval - for public devotions to be held at the site of the appearances and also for its associated messages.

These notable events occurred between August 1990 and August 1995 on Mount Zvir in northern Slovakia, where two young girls, Ivetka Korčáková and Katka Češelková, reported seeing the Virgin Mary, who identified herself as the “Immaculate Purity”.  The visionaries were 11 (Ivetka) and 12 when the visitations first began in a humble woodcutter's shack in the forest where they were resting from playing before Our Lady appeared in the midst of a bright light.  The shack has since been transformed into a rustic chapel atop the holy mountain.

"My dear children!  My Son invites

you.  Go to Him, and you will experience

true happiness and true peace.  My

dear children, I desire to lead you!  Open

your hearts to me, and you will

experience true peace and true joy.

Give thanks to the Cross!"

- Message of April 5, 1992

The apparitions commenced during a time of political upheaval and drew thousands of pilgrims, many of whom witnessed phenomena such as solar miracles and sought healing from a nearby spring reportedly blessed by the Holy Virgin.  Her messages emphasized conversion, simplicity, and spiritual renewal, similar to other approved Marian apparitions.

"My dear children!  Please take

more time to reflect on my messages.

I pray to God for one thing - to leave

His peace within you.  The current time

is a thief of peace.  Please say to God:

I love, therefore, I repent.

I love, therefore, I forgive.

I love, and that is my peace."

-  Message of March 5, 1995

Initially, Our Lady appeared on Sundays and Feast Days to the child seers, but later she came to the mountain on the First Sunday of each month and delivered public messages, just a few of which are posted here.

"My dear children, this revelation is

my last.  I love you ... and I thank you all

for what you have done for me here.

My beloved children!  I wanted

this to happen, to wake you up

from the dream of emptiness, so you

may understand the need for

conversion.  In this time, conversion

is essential!  Please, I beg you.

I will remain on this mountain.

Reflect on my messages!  Stay in

my heart during this time!

Stay, for you must become more

vigilant and simple.

The time that is coming has already

begun.  Remain like children - completely

free for God.  Please, take my words

to heart!  I love you and wait for

you in heaven."

- Final message of August 6, 1995
