Mary has appeared daily to visionaries at Medjugorje, since June 24, 1981!
The Blessed Mother has asked that we pray the Rosary as a family
daily, and that we fast on bread and water on Wednesdays and Fridays
for the purpose of World Peace. She asks that we attend Mass daily,
and that we study the Gospel. She says our prayers and fasting can
stop war, and change the natural order. She asks that we pray for the
souls in Purgatory, who can only be helped by the good will of those
with free will on Earth. She calls us to pray for unbelievers daily.
She calls us to pray for the youth of today. She asks us not to worry
about wars and tribulations, but to accept Divine Peace. She says the
peace in the world is fragile, and our prayers and fasting are needed.
A great sign will soon appear, then it will be too late for unbelievers.

O My Jesus,
forgive us our sins!
Save us from the fires of hell!
Lead all souls to heaven,
especially those most in need of Thy mercy!
