Day 6 – Holy Mass on Cross Mountain!
August 6, 2026
Dear Family of Mary!
On August 6, at 5:00 am, the parish will gather all the young people at the top of Cross Mountain to participate in the final Holy Mass of the Youth Festival. It is a stunning location for Holy Mass. The Priest stands underneath the huge white cross that the Parish erected in 1933 as a memorial of the 1900th anniversary of the Crucifixion of Jesus. There is deep silence as the young people pray. The words of Holy Mass seem to come alive in this setting. The Holy Spirit comes in power! (Mary TV will stream the Mass live. Just go to Marytv.tv and view it on the channel at 5:00 am Medj time!)
Indeed, Our Lady has built the prayer program in Medjugorje around Holy Mass.Every day in Medjugorje the high point is the Evening Mass in St. James Church or in the summer, behind the Church around the outdoor altar. She wants the Mass to be our spiritual home. It is during the Mass that Jesus can pour out His Spirit upn us, through the Prayers, the Readings, the Consecration, and Holy Communion! It is indeed our Heavenly Banquet on earth!
And so it is fitting that the last gathering of the Youth Festival is Holy Mass on Cross Mountain.
Here are five messages in which Our Lady speaks to us about Holy Mass. You might use them for meditations between the decades of your Rosary today.They carry heavenly advice!!
Friday, March 30, 1984 – To Jelena:
“My children, I wish that the holy Mass be for you the gift of the day. Attend it, wish for it to begin. Jesus gives Himself to you during the Mass. Thus, look forward to that moment when you are cleansed. Pray very much so that the Holy Spirit will renew your parish. If people attend Mass with luke-warmness, they will return to their homes cold, and with an empty heart.”
May 16, 1985
“Dear children! I am calling you to a more active prayer and attendance at Holy Mass. I wish your Mass to be an experience of God. I wish especially to say to the young people: be open to the Holy Spirit because God wishes to draw you to Himself in these days when satan is at work. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
April 3, 1986
“Dear children! I wish to call you to a living of the Holy Mass. There are many of you who have sensed the beauty of the Holy Mass, but there are also those who come unwillingly. I have chosen you, dear children, but Jesus gives you His graces in the Mass. Therefore, consciously live the Holy Mass and let your coming to it be a joyful one. Come to it with love and make the Mass your own. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
April 25, 1988
“Dear children! God wants to make you holy. Therefore, through me He is inviting you to complete surrender. Let holy mass be your life. Understand that the church is God’s palace, the place in which I gather you and want to show you the way to God. Come and pray. Neither look at others nor slander them, but rather, let your life be a testimony on the way of holiness. Churches deserve respect and are set apart as holy because God, who became man, dwells in them day and night. Therefore, little children, believe and pray that the Father increase your faith, and then ask for whatever you need. I am with you and I am rejoicing because of you conversion and I am protecting you with my motherly mantle.Thank you for having responded to my call.”
January 25, 1998
“Dear children! Today again I call all of you to prayer. Only with prayer, dear children, will your heart change, become better, and be more sensitive to the Word of God. Little children, do not permit satan to pull you apart and to do with you what he wants. I call you to be responsible and determined and to consecrate each day to God in prayer. May Holy Mass, little children, not be a habit for you, but life. By living Holy Mass each day, you will feel the need for holiness and you will grow in holiness. I am close to you and intercede before God for each of you, so that He may give you strength to change your heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Let us thank the Lord for Holy Mass today! May the Holy Mass be our life!!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
