The following is Our Lady of Medjugorje's October 25, 2012 Monthly Message :

“Dear children! Today I call you to pray for my intentions. Renew fasting and prayer because satan is cunning and attracts many hearts to sin and perdition. I call you, little children, to holiness and to live in grace. Adore my Son so that He may fill you with His peace and love for which you yearn. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

The following is Our Lady of Medjugorje's October 2, 2012 monthly message on the day for nonbelievers through Mirjana:

“Dear children; I am calling you and am coming among you because I need you. I need apostles with a pure heart. I am praying, and you should also pray, that the Holy Spirit may enable and lead you, that He may illuminate you and fill you with love and humility. Pray that He may fill you with grace and mercy. Only then will you understand me, my children. Only then will you understand my pain because of those who have not come to know the love of God. Then you will be able to help me. You will be my light-bearers of God’s love. You will illuminate the way for those who have been given eyes but do not want to see. I desire for all of my children to see my Son. I desire for all of my children to experience His Kingdom. Again I call you and implore you to pray for those whom my Son has called. Thank you.”

Mirjana said that Our Lady blessed all those present and the religious articles brought for blessing.

"Dear children! Also today, with joy, I desire to give you my motherly blessing and to call you to prayer. May prayer become a need for you to grow more in holiness every day.

Annual Apparition To Mirjana - March 18, 2012

The visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo had daily apparitions from June 24th 1981 to December 25th 1982. During the last daily apparition, Our Lady gave her the 10th secret, and told her that she would appear to her once a year, on the 18th of March. It has been this way through the years. Several thousand pilgrims gathered in prayer of the Rosary at the 'Blue Cross'. The apparition lasted from 14:00 to 14:05.

"Dear children! I am coming among you because I desire to be your mother - your intercessor. I desire to be the bond between you and the Heavenly Father - your mediatrix. I desire to take you by the hand and to walk with you in the battle against the impure spirit. My children, consecrate yourselves to me completely. I will take your lives into my motherly hands and I will teach them peace and love, and then I will give them over to my Son. I am asking of you to pray and fast because only in this way will you know how to witness my Son in the right way through my motherly heart. Pray for your shepherds that, united in my Son, they can always joyfully proclaim the Word of God. Thank you."

Message of March 02, 2012

"Dear children; Through the immeasurable love of God I am coming among you and I am persistently calling you into the arms of my Son. With a motherly heart I am imploring you, my children, but I am also repeatedly warning you, that concern for those who have not come to know my Son be in the first place for you. Do not permit that by looking at you and your life, they are not overcome by a desire to come to know Him. Pray to the Holy Spirit for my Son to be impressed within you. Pray that you can be apostles of the divine light in this time of darkness and hopelessness. This is a time of your trial. With a rosary in hand and love in the heart set out with me. I am leading you towards Easter in my Son. Pray for those whom my Son has chosen that they can always live through Him and in Him - the High Priest. Thank you." 03/02/2012

Message of February 25, 2012

"Dear children! At this time, in a special way I call you: 'pray with the heart'. Little children, you speak much and pray little. Read and meditate on Sacred Scripture, and may the words written in it be life for you. I encourage and love you, so that in God you may find your peace and the joy of living. Thank you for having responded to my call."

February 02, 2012 Message to Mirjana

"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."

January 25, 2012 Message to Marija

"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."

January 02, 2012 Message to Mirjana

"Dear children; As with motherly concern I look in your hearts, in them I see pain and suffering; I see a wounded past and an incessant search; I see my children who desire to be happy but do not know how. Open yourselves to the Father. That is the way to happiness, the way by which I desire to lead you. God the Father never leaves His children alone, especially not in pain and despair. When you comprehend and accept this, you will be happy. Your search will end. You will love and you will not be afraid. Your life will be hope and truth which is my Son. Thank you. I implore you, pray for those whom my Son has chosen. Do not judge because you will all be judged."

News About Fr. John Corapi

March 25, 2011... Annunciation of the Lord

About Fr. John Corapi

Many of you may have heard recent scandals regarding Fr. Corapi. I would like to share my personal experience with this man.
Fr. Corapi wrote to me in 1984, when he was studying to be a priest. Below is his letter to me. Read it carefully!!!
I believe his words speak for themselves. These words were written to me, in 1984, privately. And... they are the same words he speaks today, publicly. AND THESE ARE NOT THE WORDS USED BY ONE WHO IS ACCUSED AS HE IS.
Our Blessed Mother in Garabandal has emphasized more than once THE NEED TO PRAY FOR PRIEST. And I believe we need many more priests like Fr. Corapi…who unwaveringly uphold the truth and preach the Gospel in the face of opposition and ridicule, without fear. WE NEED TO PRAY FOR HIM. May God bless him through Our Blessed Mother and give him all the strength that he needs to continue upon his very difficult path.
God Bless You… Maria Carmela Saraco

                                                    Presentation of Our Lady
Dear Mrs. Saraco:

Before I ever heard of The Message of Garabandal The Mother of God, in a very personal way, made it known to me... She has given me a vocation to the Priesthood so that I might help her to bring back holiness to her Son’s Church and end these horrible abuses of the Eucharist.

        I was very pleased to receive the medal and pine needles from Garabandal from you yesterday. I shall treasure them always.
        I must tell you my story. I was very devoted to Our Blessed Mother as a young boy. However, as I grew older I grew away from the church. The changes in the sixties resulting from Vatican II confused me very much and I left the church. I eventually became very wealthy and lived a life of luxury – And sin.
        After a few years I became very sick and spent a long time suffering in a hospital. I lost everything and was reduced to absolute poverty. Almost dead, I turned back to God, and Our Mother of Mercy turned her compassionate face towards me. I had a deep & profound spiritual experience and returned to the church at 3:00 PM on the Feast of Corpus Christi. From that time on I have never missed daily Mass

-2-

and have received Our Beloved Savior in Holy Communion every day. I pray no less than 15 decades of The Most Holy Rosary daily, usually over 50 decades.
Before I ever heard of The Message of Garabandal The Mother of God, in a very personal way, made it known to me. She made me acutely aware of certain things concerning the Eucharist. These abuses I became aware of cause me much suffering. I often cry at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and I very often cry at night, not sleeping at all.
Whenever I would doubt this insight, almost immediately I would be given a sign to confirm that what I was feeling was correct. Some examples: (1) Seeing the priest at a church daily fail to Purify the Paten & Chalice and profanely disgarding the consecrated Host and Precious Blood down a drain! (2) Hearing homilies that state that no longer do we owe primary allegiance to the Pope, but rather to local Bishops who are more aware of our needs! (3) Listening to a Diocesan Vocation Director tell me that his Diocese would not be interested in Ordaining any man who was not open to Priests being able to marry and to serve a limited term as a Priest (Like an Army enlistment)! To say that

-3-

I suffer to hear these things would be to say the least. However, there is a purpose to it all. My dear friend, the Mother of God, wants me to be aware of these dangers so that I can help her to wage war against the enemy. She has given me a vocation to the Priesthood so that I might help her to bring back holiness to her Son’s Church and end these horrible abuses of the Eucharist.
        There are many who do not wish to see me become a Priest because of my fierce loyalty to the Vicar of Christ and my outspoken defense of him and my condemnation of certain irreverent and even profane practices I see today. I have enemies because of this. So too did Our Beloved Saviour have enemies.
        I have had to endure abuse and suffering because my views are now not popular with the local clergy. They call me a fanatic and say my views are outdated. Luckily, there are 3 archbishops (retired) who agree with me and protect me – gaining admittance for me to a good Orthodox Seminary where my views are generally shared.
        I know very well that my vocation will be that of a soldier engaged in a mortal combat. There will be more and worse suffering

-4-

for all of us to endure. That is fine, for, as we know, Our Blessed Lord did not tell us to take up a bed of Roses and follow him. He said to take up a CROSS and follow Him! By the Grace of Almighty God and the Holy assistance and intercession of Our Good Friend – The Mother of God – I shall do so!
        Being a weak and miserable creature that I am, I am much in need of Prayer. Please pray for me that I might be all that Our Blessed Mother wishes me to be.
        May God Bless you for all you do. May the Blessed Virgin Mary smile her Sweet and Compassionate Smile upon you always. And may you walk in Grace and light for all of your Days.
        Prayerfully yours in Christ through Mary –

P.S. I also became devoted to John Corapi
St. Michael from a stain glass
picture in my church when I
was very young. Same picture subject
as you relate concerning your
beloved husband. I pray his Chaplet
each day before Mass.
