Latest Messages of the Queen of Peace

Message of February 2, 2012
Our Lady prays with Mirjana for the unbelievers

"Dear children; I am with you for so much time and already for so long I have been pointing you to God's presence and His infinite love, which I desire for all of you to come to know. And you, my children? You continue to be deaf and blind as you look at the world around you and do not want to see where it is going without my Son. You are renouncing Him - and He is the source of all graces. You listen to me while I am speaking to you, but your hearts are closed and you are not hearing me. You are not praying to the Holy Spirit to illuminate you. My children, pride has come to rule. I am pointing out humility to you. My children, remember that only a humble soul shines with purity and beauty because it has come to know the love of God. Only a humble soul becomes heaven, because my Son is in it. Thank you. Again I implore you to pray for those whom my Son has chosen - those are your shepherds."

Message, 25. January 2012

“Dear children! With joy, also today I call you to open your hearts and to listen to my call. Anew, I desire to draw you closer to my Immaculate Heart, where you will find refuge and peace. Open yourselves to prayer, until it becomes a joy for you. Through prayer, the Most High will give you an abundance of grace and you will become my extended hands in this restless world which longs for peace. Little children, with your lives witness faith and pray that faith may grow day by day in your hearts. I am with you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (www.medjugorje.hr)

Overview

Since 24th of June 1981, some children in a remote village of the former Yugoslavia claim to have apparitions of the Virgin Mary. These apparitions continue up to the present day. The Virgin calls for prayer, conversion, fasting, penance and peace. These apparitions are comparable with the apparitions of Lourdes, France (1858) and Fatima, Portugal (1917), which are approved by the catholic church. However,


Introduction

Father Tomislav Vlasic's letter to Pope John Paul II, the official letter of the chaplain of Medjugorje to the Pope about the events in Medjugorje. In his letter of December 16, 1983, to the Pope, Tomislav Vlasic reports some revelations received by Mirjana in 1982, and confided to him November 5, 1983. This letter is essential to anyone who wants to understand the severity and scope of the messages of Medjugorje.


Report

To make people familiar with perhaps the most important apparitions ever are here
 
The mother of God appears at Medjugorje (some 2 pages), complete contents of a folding card on Medjugorje, with an overview of the messages of the Blessed Virgin and for Holland and Belgium phone numbers for listening to the most recent monthly message to the world, as well as addresses, phone numbers and books for more information. 
Miracle at Medjugorje (some 20 pages), complete contents of the original columns tabloid of Wayne Weible, a Lutheran protestant who received an internal call to spread the message of Our Lady, one of the worlds foremost promoters of the messages, author of several books on Medjugorje; of the tabloid are over 25 million in print. 
Messages and Teachings of Mary at Medjugorje, from 1981 until today (some 200 pages), Chronological Corpus of the Messages; René Laurentin and René Lejeune; published by the Riehle Foundation, Milford OH, U.S.A., 1988. Complete contents of the message part of the book, extended with the messages until this day from the web site of Medjugorje itself, Medjugorje - Svetiste "Kraljice Mira" (Shrine of "The Queen of Peace") and other web sites related to Medjugorje. This is the only page in the world where all messages from the beginning in 1981 until present are given as one large saveable (ctrl-s), printable (ctrl-p) and searchable (ctrl-f) Internet page. If you have a mobile phone that can browse the Internet, but can't load the entire page because of its length, try switching off the loading of images in the settings of your Internet browser, perhaps providing the opportunity to show the messages to others.

Travel


Location
Where is Medjugorje?, by Google Maps. Google Maps has new very detailed satellite photos of Medjugorje! See the church, Hill of Apparitions (Podbrdo) and Mountain of the Cross (Krizevac).
By plane
Cheap flights to Sarajevo have started! Cheap flights (tens of Euros including taxes) to or from Sarajevo, Split or Dubrovnik can be found with Skyscanner. The cheapest chairs you can find by choosing e.g. English, one-way tickets and then keeping the search as broad as possible, using "everywhere" and "whole year", then narrowing your search. To use "everywhere" as departure (e.g. to find out from which countries you can fly cheap to a certain destination), search for flights from that destination to "everywhere". A budget return ticket consists simply of two budget one-way tickets, so you can also arrive at e.g. Sarajevo, but depart from e.g. Split. Since normal flight companies have started also with cheap tickets, one has to look also at sites like Atp. From Sarajevo Airport you can take a bus and switch on the main road to a tram to the bus and train station in the middle of the city - the real "city centre" is at the eastern part of Sarajevo. From Split Airport run airport buses to the port/bus/train station in the city centre.

By train
Few people know, but the parish of Medjugorje has a train station at Surmanci, on the train line from Sarajevo to Ploče. This is one of the most beautiful train lines of the Balkan, travelling through mountainous regions alongside the Neretva river through the Neretva valley.The timetable can be found through the travel planner of Die Bahn, the German Railways, they have English pages. From Sarajevo, Surmanci is four stops after Mostar, one stop before Capljina. Few people know also that Ploče has a combined bus/train station/airport, but the airport is not developed for Medjugorje. If you want to travel by train from Zagreb, By train to Medjugorje (only in Dutch so far) is an adventurous travel report of a cheap flight to Zagreb and a 10 hour train trip from Zagreb all through Bosnia-Hercegovina to Medjugorje. In the summer of 2009 a train leaves at 6.18 PM from Sarajevo to Ploče.

By bus
Eurolines operates international buses to Croatia and Bosnia. From Sarajevo, Split or Dubrovnik it is three hours by regional bus (from Sarajevo also by train) to Medjugorje for a few Euros. There is at least one bus directly from these cities to Medjugorje a day. E.g. In the summer of 2009 a direct bus leaves Sarajevo for Medjugorje at 4.45 PM, stopping in Mostar at the Muslim train/bus station and then at the Croatian bus station, arriving before sunset in Medjugorje. But often a quicker way to travel is to take a regional bus to a city close to Medjugorje and then take a bus from there to Medjugorje. For example, from Sarajevo to Mostar the buses go every hour on the hour. And from Mostar to Medjugorje there are 10 or so buses daily: 4 or so from the Muslim train+bus station and 6 or so from the newly rebuilt Croat bus station. If you have to travel from the Muslim station in east Mostar to the Croat bus station in west Mostar: it is a 2 km walk over the Neretva river, crossing the former front line (Boulevard). From Split or Dubrovnik the buses run at least every hour to Ploče, from Ploče buses (or train) run several times a day to Medjugorje.

Travel tip
Since cheap flights to Sarajevo have started, I advise to take a cheap flight to Sarajevo, have a beautiful train ride to Medjugorje and then have yourself picked up in Surmanci, 5 km from the church, by car by your pension keeper of Medjugorje. Remember that sunset is early in Bosnia-Hercegovina. Surmanci has no waiting room, buses or taxis. Capljina, one station further, 16 km from Medjugorje, has a large waiting room, café outside and some buses and taxis. The flight departure times from e.g. Cologne to Sarajevo are not so very early, so less people have to spend a night sleeping in e.g. Cologne and more people can travel cheap in one day to Medjugorje.
