March 13, 2026 Reflection – In our time, God speaks through his Mother!
In our time, in a special way, God speaks through his Mother! March 13, 2026 Dear Family of Mary, The February 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace! “Dear children, In this time of grace, anew, I am calling you to offer your lives to God that He may lead you towards the resurrection through your personal conversion. Little children, God is near to you and heeds your prayers, but you are lulled to sleep, and that is why He sent me to you to awaken you, and that you may shine holiness like a spring flower. Thank you for having responded to my call. “ (With ecclesiastical approval) Again today, we are so blessed to receive a letter from Ivan Dragicevic, Visionary of Medjugorje. Let’s pray over and ponder his words to us this weekend. I believe that they are straight from Our Lady’s heart! Ivan D. 03/12/26 Dear brothers and sisters, dear friends. When we look at the world around us today, we cannot help but notice how much unrest there is in the world. Every day we hear news about wars, conflicts and tensions between nations. We hear about wars in the Middle East, about tensions in the Gulf, about so many places where people suffer, where families lose their loved ones and where hope for peace is shattered. Many people ask: will there ever be peace on earth? When we look at the world only through human eyes, sometimes it seems that peace is far away. But when we look at the world through the eyes of faith, then we see that God never abandons humanity. God always finds a way to speak to man. And in our time, in a special way, God speaks through his Mother. Our Lady comes as the Queen of Peace. She does not come to scare us. She comes as a mother who sees her children in danger and wants to protect them, wants to return them to God and true peace. Brothers and sisters, let me share something personal. When I first experienced an encounter with Our Lady, I was young. I could not have imagined that my life would take a path that would take me to meet so many people in the world. I was an ordinary young man with my dreams, my plans. But God has his own plans. On that day when Our Lady appeared, what touched me most was not only the beauty of that encounter. What touched my heart most deeply was the peace that came from her presence. That peace was not the peace of this world. It was a deep peace that enters the heart and changes a person. In Our Lady’s gaze, I felt a motherly love that is difficult to describe in human words. It is a love that understands, that forgives, that invites. And what Our Lady said from the beginning was very simple. She did not speak about politics. She did not speak about the strategies of the world. She kept repeating one word: peace. But Our Lady teaches us that peace does not begin between states – peace begins in the heart of man. If the heart of man is far from God, then unrest comes. If there is no love in the heart, then hatred comes. And when this hatred spreads among nations, then war comes. That is why the wars we see today are not only political events. They are also spiritual signs – signs that man needs to find God again. Our Lady therefore calls us to very simple things: to prayer, to fasting, to conversion, to holy confession, to holy mass. Someone might say: That is too simple. How can prayer change the world? But let me tell you something from my own experience. I have seen thousands of people who came broken, wounded, without hope. People who carried deep wounds in their hearts. And through prayer, through an encounter with God, their lives were changed. When the heart changes, life changes. Our Lady especially emphasizes prayer in the family. She often says: “Dear children, renew prayer in your families.” Because the family is the first place where love is learned, where forgiveness is learned, where peace is learned. If there is no prayer in families, then the foundation of peace is lost. Another powerful message of Our Lady is fasting. Our Lady said: “With fasting and prayer, wars can be stopped.” These words are very powerful. The world believes in the power of weapons, in political decisions, in the power of the economy. But Our Lady reminds us of the power that comes from God. Fasting and prayer purify the heart of man. They open the space for God to act. Brothers and sisters, dear friends. When we see wars in the world today, it is easy to feel fear or hopelessness. But Our Lady does not call us to fear. She calls us to hope and responsibility. Each of us can do something for peace. We may not be able to change the political decisions of the great powers. But we can change something that is just as important – our hearts. We can start praying more. We can start forgiving more. We can bring more love into our families. And then something miraculous happens. The peace that begins in one heart spreads to other people. And that is exactly how God changes the world. Finally, I want to tell you something that I often carry in my heart. Whenever I see Our Lady, whenever I feel her presence, I always feel anew how much she loves each person. She does not look at our weaknesses. She looks at our hearts. And she believes that man can change. That is why she calls us today: “Dear children, be bearers of peace.” May our families become places of prayer. May our hearts become places of forgiveness. And then God, through our faith and our prayer, will bring peace to the world that needs it so much. Ivan Dragicevic Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏 We thank you, Ivan, for sharing your thoughts with us.
