Captivated




Reflecting upon the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, I pondered why miracles like that don't occur in our present day. I thought about the apparitions at Lourdes and Fatima. And then I vaguely remembered my mom bringing my sisters and me to something called Medjugorje peace conferences when we were much younger. Wanting to learn more (and honestly also out of boredom), I began to do some research and now am absolutely captivated. The messages from Our Lady of Medjugorje are ones of urgency as we continually fail to respond to her call to peace and love. Mary has said to the visionaries that this will be the last time that she appears on earth in this way (i.e. apparitions). She has said now is the time of grace. May we take every advantage of it.


Message of Our Lady given through Mirjana (one of the 6 visionaries), Dec. 02. 2009.

Dear children,

At this time of preparation and joyful expectation I, as a mother, desire to point you to what is the most important, to your soul. Can my Son be born in it? Is it cleansed by love from lies, arrogance, hatred and malice? Above all else does your soul love God as your Father and does it love your fellow brother in Christ? I am pointing you to the way which will raise your soul to a complete union with my Son. I desire for my Son to be born in you. What a joy that would be for me as mother. Thank you.
