Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje
Dear Children,
Today, I am happy despite there still being some sadness in my heart
for all those who began to take this path and then abandoned it. My
presence here is, therefore, to lead you on a new path, the path of
salvation. Thus, i call you day after day to conversion. But, if you do
not pray you cannot say you are converting. I pray for you and
intercede before God for peace: first, for peace in your heart, then
around you so that God may be your peace. Thank you for having
responded to my call. (lwp-16)
