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.

March 25, 2012 Message to Marija

"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. Work more on your conversion because you are far away, little children. Thank you for having responded to my call." 03/2012

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."


Stations of the Cross

Jesus died in Jerusalem.
Jesus walked from the court yard to Calvary Hill carrying His cross.
Calvary is where He was crucified.
The path he used is called Via Dolorosa, "the way of pain."
Since His death, people began to make visits to Jerusalem and walk in Jesus' footsteps.
The people would walk on that same path, Via Dolorosa that Jesus used.
They would stop along the way and would remember what happened to Jesus at the exact spot where they are standing.
Remember, Jesus was carrying His cross and the different things that happened to Him along the Via Dolorosa are called stations.
That's how we got the name Stations of the Cross


Before each Station, genuflect and say,
"We adore You , Jesus  because by Your Holy Cross, You have redeemed the world."



Jesus is Condemned to Death
Meditation
Jesus stood before Pontious Pilate. Jesus was alone.
Jesus had done only good things in life.
Jesus had to be put to death.
The procession was ready.
The gates were opened.
The soldiers lead the way.
Jesus followed.

Prayer
Dear Jesus, you stood all alone before Pilate.  Nobody speaks up for you.  Nobody  defends you. Sometimes I feel alone.  Sometimes I feel afraid.  Sometimes I feel like I am treated unfairly. Help me to accept unfairness and not complain.  Help me pray for those who have hurt me. Mary, help me to see Jesus in all things.
Almighty Father, many times people don't seem to understand me.  Sometimes they are unfair. You accept me when I make mistakes. Help me to accept others when they make mistakes. Help me to forgive as Jesus did. This I ask through Christ, our Lord. Amen


 
Jesus Bears His Cross
Meditation
The people wanted to crucify Jesus. Pontious Pilate did not want to crucify Him.
He tried everything he could think of to change the crowd's mind but nothing worked.
He washed his hands in front of the crowd saying, "This is a righteous man."
He gave Jesus to the soldiers to be crucified.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, you carried your cross.  You knew it wouldn't be easy, but you carried it just the same.  Sometimes I get upset with the troubles that I have.  Sometimes I get upset when people ask me to do things for them. I don't want to carry my cross.  Give me the courage to carry my cross as You did. Mary, help me to see Jesus in all things.
Almighty Father, Jesus carried His cross without complaint.  When I am tempted to complain, help me to remember Jesus and the cross He carried for me.   This I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen
  Jesus Falls a First Time
Meditation
The procession moves out of the city gate. Jesus was unsteady on his feet.
The soldiers were pushing Him.
Jesus is tired.  He can hardly carry the cross. He fell.
The soldiers yanked him up.
The procession is moving again.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, Sometimes I don't pay attention to what I should be doing.   When things get hard for me, sometimes I give up.  Your cross was so heavy.  It was hard for you. You never gave up. You fell, but you got up and moved on. Help me to get up when I fall and keep moving. Mary, help me to see Jesus in all things.
Almighty Father, I know there are many times when I give up before I should.   When I fall, help me get up again and keep going.   This I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen


Jesus Meets His Mother
Meditation
Mary sees the procession moving through the streets.  She sees.  She hurries to Him There he was in front of her.  The cross was so heavy, he was trembling. His body was bleeding. His mother tries to get closer to him. He tries to get closer to his mother but the soldiers pushed him away.
The procession moves on
Prayer
Dear Jesus,
Help me to see those around me who love me.
Help me to understand that I need them as much as they need me. Mary, help me to see Jesus in all things.
Almighty Father,  When I feel alone, help me to remember to turn to my parents for help and most of all, You. This I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen


Jesus is Helped by Simon
Meditation
The soldiers saw that Jesus was weak.  They were afraid that he might not make it  to the place where he was to be crucified
The soldiers see Simon of Cyrene. A soldier pushes Simon toward Jesus telling him to carry the cross. Simon saw Jesus was bruised and bleeding and quickly picked up the cross. He carried it for Jesus. They moved on with Jesus following Simon.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, Sometimes I pretend not to hear when my parents call me.   I leave when I know others could use my help. You gave help to everyone.  When you needed help, you accepted it.  Help me to give and accept help. Mary, help me to see Jesus in all things.
Almighty Father,  Help me to be a friend to friendless.  Help me to help the needy.  This I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen


Jesus and Veronica
Meditation
Veronica steps towards Jesus with a wet cloth. She wanted to comfort Jesus in any way she could.
She gently wiped his face.
The soldiers roughly pushed her back.
They continued along their way.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, There are times when I see someone that is being picked on.  There are times when I see someone that is sad.  Just as Veronica wiped Your face to comfort you, help me to always help others in whatever way I can. Mary, help me to see Jesus in all things.
Almighty Father, Help me to see the needs of others.  Remind me to be helpful, even if I am not asked.   This I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen



Jesus Falls a Second Time
Meditation
Jesus is getting more tired. Jesus is getting weaker.
Jesus falls.
Jesus struggles to get up.
He tries until He makes it to his feet.
He moves on.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, You didn't give up. Sometimes when things get hard for me, it's hard to keep trying.  I want to quit.  When things get hard for me, help me to get up and keep going as you did. Mary, help me to see Jesus in all things.
Almighty Father,   Help me to keep trying when things get hard and when I fall. Help me to not give up.   This I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen


Jesus Speaks to the Women
Meditation
Jesus could hear the crying of the women in the crowd. He knew they were sad.
He stopped and talked to them.
Even at this terrible time, Jesus was not thinking of himself, he was thinking of all of us.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, You stopped to help those in need.  I get selfish at times and think only of myself.  Help me to reach out to others as you did. Help me to see the needs of others and put their needs above mine Mary, help me to see Jesus in all things.
Almighty Father, help me to not be hurtful or selfish.   Help me to see the needs others have even when I have problems of my own.  This I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen



Jesus Falls a Third Tim

Jesus continues walking, tired, in pain, and pushed by the soldiers. Jesus falls once more.
They laugh at him.
He gets up, steadies himself and walks the last few yards to - The Place of the Skull.

Almighty Father, Thank you for sending Jesus to us.  Help me to always follow Him.   This I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen


Jesus is Stripped of His Garments

Jesus arrives at the Place of Skull. The soldiers remove his clothes, tossing them in a heap.
The soldiers didn't know what to do with his clothes.
They decided to throw dice for them.
Prayer

Almighty Father, Help me to always be respectful and follow the examples of Jesus.  This I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen


Jesus is Nailed to The Cross
Meditation
The soldiers grab Jesus and lie him face up on the cross stretching his arms.  They hold His wrist and hand to the wood.  They drive the nail with a hammer.  They do the same with the other arm.  Raising His Knees so that His feet would lie flat, they hammer. It was done, Jesus was nailed to the cross.
Prayer
 
 Dear Jesus,  Sometimes I say or do hurtful things to others. You stretched Your arms of love on the cross.  Help me to bring Your love to others and cause them no hurt. Mary, help me to see Jesus in all things.
Almighty Father, Help me to follow your Son and make His Hands bleed no more through my fault.  This I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen


Jesus Dies on the Cross
Meditation
As Pilate had ordered, a soldier placed, above Jesus' head, a notice reading 'Jesus of
     Nazareth, King of the Jews" (John 19:20) The cross was hoisted into place.
Mary and John, stayed at the foot of the cross and prayed.
Jesus looked down and said to his mother "Dear woman, here is your son"(John 19:26) and to John "Here is your mother" (John 19:27)
Even at this terrible time, he was taking care of his mother.
The sky was dark.
Jesus said "I am thirsty". (John 19:28) A soldier offered him wine mixed with vinegar.
The two thieves that were crucified beside Him, talked to Him.
Looking at one of them he said, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43).
 
Jesus said, "EIi, Ebi, lama sabachthani? - My God, my God, why have you
forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46)
Then he said "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit (Luke 23:46)
A few moments later He said, "It is finished"
He died.
At that instant, the earth shook, rocks split, the curtain in the temple ripped from top to bottom. The centurion guarding Jesus saw the earth quake and said "Surely he was the Son of God" (Matthew 27:54).
Jesus died at 3 p.m. on the Cross at Calvary.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, death is hard for us to understand. Remind us always that faith will carry us through our losses. Mary, help me to see Jesus in all things.
Almighty Father, Help me to understand Jesus' death. Help me to understand the love Jesus has for me.  This I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen


Jesus is Taken Down from The Cross
Meditation
 
Sabbath was rapidly approaching and the crucified ones had to be taken down before the beginning of the Sabbath celebrations. A soldier pierced the side of Jesus with his spear to be sure that he was dead.
The crowd hurried to their homes before the beginning of Sabbath or they'd be excluded from the celebration.
Mary stayed under the cross with her Son.
 Two men came to the soldiers with orders from Pilate, Joseph of Arimathea, and
Nicodemus. Joseph had offered his burial tomb for Jesus.
Jesus was gently removed from the cross.
Mary held Jesus.
She didn't want to give Him up but she had to.
She kissed Him and gave Him to the guards.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, how bad was your death but how gently you were removed from the cross. Help me to treat others kindly always. Mary, help me to see Jesus in all things.
Almighty Father, Help me to be a kinder, gentler person.  Help me to always see the good in others  This I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen


Jesus is Laid in the Tomb
Meditation
People had returned to their homes for the Sabbath. John, Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and Mary, went from Calvary to Jesus' burial tomb.
Joseph and John carried Jesus into the tomb.
They laid him on the rock bench in the burial chamber.
The men moved a big boulder in front of the entrance to block it.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, Help me to carry on Your work. Mary, help me to see Jesus in all things.
Almighty Father, Thank you for sending Jesus.  Help me to be like Jesus. Help me to share my life and love more fully. This I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen
