Pray for Peace in the World June 11, 2007
 |
Monday, June 11 - Pilgrims walk toward Apparition Hill to be in the presence of Our Lady at Her apparition at 10:00 pm tonight. The trail, known as Apparition Trail, has literally had millions walk its path. The stories of conversion of pilgrims who have walked this trail are countless. The dirt path is woven deeply in the hearts of people from every nation upon the earth. |
To the followers of Our Lady:
It was a pleasant night, while several thousand people, who had climbed the Hill of Apparitions to be with Our Lady, quietly prayed and waited for the few moments when Our Lady would be present to them in a special way through Her visitations with Ivan. Many pilgrims had climbed the hill in the early evening, willing to wait hours for Our Lady’s apparition, while also getting the closest places to where She would appear. Others climbed the mountain, after dark, arriving just moments before Our Lady. Most pilgrims arrived somewhere in between. Around 8:30 p.m., pilgrims were led in singing, for nearly an hour, the beloved songs of Medjugorje, which led up Ivan’s announcement, at 9:30 p.m. that we would begin praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary in preparation for Our Lady’s visit. Once the Rosary was finished, the prayer group led the crowds in saying the seven Our Father’s, Hail Mary’s and Glory Be’s. After, silence settled over the crowd as everyone present, entered into the depth of their hearts to encounter Our Lady in prayer. Following is the description Ivan gave after the apparition this evening, on top of Apparition Hill, during his prayer group meeting.

Tonight, June 11 Pilgrims climbing Apparition Hill |
“Tonight, when Our Lady came She was very, very happy. She said, “Praised be Jesus, my little children.” And after, Our Lady, for a long time, prayed with Her hands extended over all of us, and blessed all of us with Her motherly blessing. She also gave a blessing for all of your religious articles, Rosaries, everything that you brought to be blessed. Then Our Lady especially prayed for all the sick people present. I recommended to Our Lady all your petitions, families, intentions, and especially for the sick. Our Lady continued, “especially tonight, to pray for peace in the world.” After that, I prayed with Our Lady an Our Father and Glory Be. And after, Our Lady while leaving, said, “Go in peace, my little children.”

Marija has told us the angels vie to be called upon for a task by Our Lady. To do so, Marija says, is one of the greatest moments of the angels state of being. Marija has said when the angels accompany Our Lady to the earth, they are in awe, staring at Our Lady.
What, then, are we to think that Our Lady has come to ask us, you as an individual, as a family, “especially tonight to pray for peace in the world.” What are we to think of this task? Contemplate, think, who are we to participate in a plan Our Lady says is, “…a great plan for the salvation of mankind…” Jan 25, 87. You, especially tonight,can make Our Lady happy, very happy, by responding to Her request, especially tonight, to pray for peace in the world.
With fondness and love for Our Lady,

June 11, 9:00 PM - Medjugorje Pilgrims sing, pray, and wait for the apparition to Ivan. This was the scene tonight one hour before Our Lady appeared, with the light of the village of Medjugorje shining in the background. For those who have experienced this scene, you know what it feels like waiting for Our Lady while sitting upon the hill. The warmth, love, awe, and littleness of realizing how privileged you are just to be there. A Friend of Medjugorje |
