Prayer
Dear Family of Mary!
Our Lady has consistently called us to prayer. In really every message she has given us she calls us to prayer. She has built prayer in her village, through the evening program. She told the visionaries that the parish should pray two Rosaries before the evening Mass. Then there is the Evening Mass!! After the Mass they pray the 7-7-7. And then healing prayers. And then another decade of the Rosary, or Adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament or Veneration of the Holy Cross. Three hours of prayer every day at St. James Parish.
But prayer continues all day long, on the hills, and in the Adoration Chapel and at the Risen Christ Statue. Prayer is non-stop in Medjugorje. And so it can be for us – especially if you have Mary TV on all day!!
But the point of all that prayer, I believe, is that “prayer works miracles”. Prayer works miracles! And that is what we need constantly. Miracles of conversion. Miracles of physical healing. Miracles of joy and inner healing. Miracles of hope. Miracles of forgiveness. Miracles of vocation. Miracles of family healing. Miracles and miracles and miracles. It is prayer that brings down the Spirit of God upon us. That is how we are changed.
So, the first and most fundamental stone is prayer!
Pray the Rosary with these five messages! Prayer works miracles!
April 25, 2001 “Dear children! Also today, I call you to prayer. Little children, prayer works miracles. When you are tired and sick and you do not know the meaning of your life, take the Rosary and pray; pray until prayer becomes for you a joyful meeting with your Savior. I am with you, little children, and I intercede and pray for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
October 25, 2001 “Dear children! Also today I call you to pray from your whole heart and to love each other. Little children, you are chosen to witness peace and joy. If there is no peace, pray and you will receive it. Through you and your prayer, little children, peace will begin to flow through the world. That is why, little children, pray, pray, pray, because prayer works miracles in human hearts and in the world. I am with you and I thank God for each of you who has accepted and lives prayer with seriousness. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Prayer works miracles in you and through you, therefore, little children, may prayer be a joy for you. Then your relationship with life will be deeper and more open and you will comprehend that life is a gift for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
October 25, 2013 “Dear children! Today I call you to open yourselves to prayer. Prayer works miracles in you and through you. Therefore, little children, in the simplicity of heart seek of the Most High to give you the strength to be God’s children and for Satan not to shake you like the wind shakes the branches. Little children, decide for God anew and seek only His will, and then you will find joy and peace in Him. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
May 25, 2018 “Dear children! In this peaceless time, I am calling you to have more trust in God who is your Father in Heaven and who has sent me to lead you to Him. You, open your hearts to the gifts which He desires to give you and, in the silence of your heart, Adore my Son Jesus who has given His life so that you may live in eternity – where He desires to lead you. May your hope be the joy of a meeting with the Most High in everyday life. Therefore, I am calling you: do not neglect prayer because prayer works miracles. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
