An Urgent Call to Prayer
Important Update: Apparition Schedule Change and Urgent Novena Request
Our Lady's Special Apparition to Marija on June 15, 2024
Our Lady's Special Apparition to Marija on June 15, 2024
On June 15, 2024, Our Lady appeared to Medjugorje visionary, Marija, at approximately 6:46 PM. The apparition lasted about seven to eight minutes. Marija shared the details of this significant event in Croatian, Italian, and English. During the apparition, Marija presented all our needs and intentions to Our Lady, who then prayed over in her maiden language, Aramaic, and blessed us.
A Special Request from Our Lady
Marija, visibly moved, conveyed an urgent request from Our Lady: a nine-day novena starting tomorrow, June 16th. Our Lady asks us to gather on Apparition Hill every night at 11:30 PM for the next nine days.
Marija confirmed that during this novena, her usual evening apparitions at 6:40 PM will not occur. Instead, the apparitions will take place at 11:30 PM on top of Apparition Hill. This request was unexpected and profound, leaving Marija deeply moved.
Join the Novena to the Queen of Peace
The novena to the Queen of Peace is already underway in Medjugorje. Villagers and pilgrims traditionally ascend Apparition Mountain early in the morning, praying three to four mysteries of the Rosary. Marija will continue this practice, participating both in the morning and at night during the novena.
A Call to Global Prayer
In these challenging times, marked by global tensions and the threat of conflict, Our Lady's call for this novena is more crucial than ever. Whether you attend Adoration, step outside into your backyard, or find a quiet place to pray, please join us in saying the Rosary at 11:30 PM Medjugorje Time.
At Caritas, we will gather every night at 11:30 PM in the Field of Apparitions or at the Cross. Additionally, we will meet in prayer at 4:30 PM to unite with Our Lady on Apparition Mountain.
Stay Connected
Don't miss this opportunity for dedicated prayer and sacrifice over the next nine days. If you haven't already, please sign up for our mailing list to receive important updates.
Let us respond to Our Lady's urgent call with devotion and commitment.

Meditation for Day 1
Jesus said to his disciples: "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled." Then, he opened their minds to understand the scriptures. And he said to them: "Thus it is written that the Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold I am sending the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city until you are clothed with the power from on high." (Lk 24,44-49)
"Dear children!
Today I thank you for living and witnessing to my messages with your life. Little children, be strong and pray so that prayer may give you strength and joy. Only in this way will each of you be mine, and I will lead you on the way of salvation. Little children, pray and with your life bear witness to my presence here. May each day be a joyful witness for you of God's love. Thank you for having responded to my call." (Message, June 25, 1999)
"Prayer is the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God." But when we pray, do we speak from the height of our pride and will or "out of the depths" of a humble and contrite heart? He who humbles himself will be exalted; humility is the foundation of prayer, only when we humbly acknowledge that "we do not know how to pray as we ought," are we ready to receive freely the gift of prayer. "Man is a beggar before God." (CCC: 2559)

Prayer to the Queen of Peace
Mary, Mother of God and Our Mother, Queen of Peace!
You came to us to lead us to God.
Obtain for us the grace not only to say:
"Be it done to me according to Your will!", but to live it, as You did.
Into Your hands we put our hands, so that You may lead us to Him amidst these afflictions and woes. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Veni Creator Spiritus - Come Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit, Creator, the best gift from God above, the living spring, the living fire, sweet unction, and true love. Thou Who are called the Paraclete, from Thy bright heavenly throne, come, take possession of our souls, and make them all Thine own.
Thou who are sevenfold in Thy grace, the finger of God's right hand, His promise, teaching little ones to speak and understand. O guide our minds with Thy blest light, with love our hearts inflame; and with Thy strength, which never decays, confirm our mortal frame. Far from us drive our deadly foe, true peace unto us bring, and through all perils lead us safe beneath Thy sacred wing. Through Thee may we the Father know, through Thee the eternal Son, and Thee the Spirit of them both, thrice-blessed Three in One. All glory to the Father is, with his co-equal Son: the same to Thee great Paraclete, while endless ages run. Amen.
