Medjugorje message for the world via visionary Marija on 25th April 2026: “Dear Children, I am praying for you and encourage you to a new life, a life in joy and prayer. May the Holy Spirit fill you, little children, with joy so that you may be like a spring of pure and drinkable water, that you, little children, may be in God and with God, missionaries of love and peace. Your life is short here on earth and that is why I am with you to lead you towards Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (with ecclesiastical approval)  ~ more Medjugorje
