An Urgent Called 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.

Meditations
Meditation for Day 9
At that time Jesus said: "Father, they are your gift to me. I wish that where I am, they also may be with me, that they may see the glory that you gave me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, the world also does not know you, but I know you, and they know that you sent me. I made known to them your name and I will make it known, that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them." (Jn 17,24-26)
"Dear children! Today I thank you and I want to invite you all to God's peace. I want each one of you to experience in your heart that peace that God gives. I want to bless you all today. I am blessing you with God's blessing and I beseech you, dear children, to follow and to live my way. I love you, dear children, and so not even counting the number of times I go on calling you, and I thank you for all that you are doing for my intentions. I beg you, help me to present you to God and to save you. Thank you for having responded to my call." (Message, June 25, 1987)
Mary's prayer is revealed to us at the dawning of the fullness of time. Before the incarnation of the Son of God and before the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, her prayer cooperates in a unique way with the Father's plan of loving kindness: at the Annunciation, for Christ's conception; at Pentecost, for the formation of the Church, his Body. In the faith of his humble handmaid, the Gift of God found the acceptance he had awaited from the beginning of time. She whom the Almighty made "full of grace" responds by offering her whole being: "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be [done] to me according to your word." "Fiat": this is Christian prayer: to be wholly God's because he is wholly ours. (CCC: 2617)
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.

Prayer to the Queen of Peace
Veni Creator Spiritus - Come Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit, Creator, the best gift of 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 God the Father be, with his co-equal Son: the same to Thee great Paraclete, while endless ages run. Amen.

Let us pray: God, who taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant that by the gift of the same Spirit, we may always be truly wise and ever rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
