August 5 , 2026 Reflection – Day 5 of the Youth Festival in Medjugorje!

Dear Family of Mary!

Yesterday, Day 4, we were blessed with wonderful talks and prayer. The singing was especially animated and beautiful! You could feel the strength of faith and joy in the whole assembly!

It reminded me of this message below. Our Lady has called us to be those who demonstrate and spread love and joy, the very love and joy that we see in the young people! Let this message fill us with hope and purpose:

April 2, 2017

“Dear children,
apostles of my love,
it is up to you to spread the love of my Son
to all those who have not come to know it;

you, the little lights of the world,
whom I am teaching with motherly love
to shine clearly with full brilliance.

Prayer will help you
because prayer saves you,
prayer saves the world.

Therefore, my children,
pray with words, feelings, merciful love and sacrifice.

My Son has shown you the way –
He who became incarnate
and made of me the first chalice,
with His exalted sacrifice
He has shown you how you need to love.

Therefore, my children,
do not be afraid to speak the truth.

Do not be afraid to change yourself and the world
by spreading love,
by doing everything for my Son to be known and loved
by loving others in Him.

As a mother, I am always with you.

I am imploring my Son to help you
for love to reign in your life –
love that lives,
love that draws,
love which gives life.

I am teaching you such love – pure love.

It is up to you, my apostles,
to recognize it, live it and spread it.
Pray with feeling for your shepherds
so that they can witness my Son with love.

Thank you.

Thank you for responding to Our Lady’s call. She is with us in these days with a plan to change the world! Let us stay close to Her side!! Tomorrow is the last full day of the festival!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
