Dear Family of Mary!
“Dear children! Today, like never before, I invite you to prayer. Let your prayer be a prayer for peace. Satan is strong and desires to destroy not only human life, but also nature and the planet on which you live. Therefore, dear children, pray that through prayer you can protect yourselves with God’s blessing of peace. God has sent me among you so that I may help you. If you so wish, grasp for the rosary. Even the rosary alone can work miracles in the world and in your lives. I bless you and I remain with you for as long as it is God’s will. Thank you for not betraying my presence here and I thank you because your response is serving the good and the peace.” (January 25, 1991)
In 1991 the war in Bosnia/Hercegovina was looming. It would break out in full force in 1992. But Our Lady was preparing her children for this coming time of trial. How did she prepare them? Through prayer for peace. Through dependence on God. Through the prayer of the Rosary. Through her Motherly presence. And though it was a terrible trial, in the end Medjugorje was spared violence, and peace was established.
This message can also prepare us for the time ahead. We also face uncertainties in our nations and cities. But the remedy is the same. We can listen to Our Lady’s messages and live them now, just as the villagers did in 1991. Living Our Lady’s messages helps others as well as ourselves. Our prayers are not about politics, they are about mercy. Our prayers are for peace.
Peace is the one thing necessary right now. The frenzy that the enemy of our souls is stirring up is deadly. It will do great damage. Our Mother brings peace, which is the beginning of a great reform of her children. Her peace is the peace of a heart at one with Jesus, a heart in complete harmony with Jesus’ heart. That is the remedy.
Those who live in Our Lady’s heart become those who bring peace to others. The Rosary is a prayer of peace, a prayer that brings calm to the soul and trust to the heart and mind. In that peace, holiness is born, conversion happens, hope erupts, and true love is revealed. The prayers of the Rosary are perfect prayers, conveying to those who pray them everything they need.
The Rosary is a peace prayer because it refers everything to the Trinity and to Our Lady. It is the platform for peace, which is what is needed today.
Pray for the whole world! Pray the Rosary for peace. “If you so wish, grasp for the Rosary. Even the Rosary alone can work miracles in the world and in your lives…”
In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!
