Medjugorje message for the world via visionary Marija on 25th June 2026: (45th anniversary) "Dear children! Rejoice with me because the Most High permits me to be with you, to lead you to Him Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Rejoice, little children, and be joyful also in difficulties and you will have the strength, because you will be aware that you are transient and you will know to offer everything to God. That is why, do not forget: I am your Mother and I love you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (with ecclesiastical approval)  ~ more Medjugorje
