Medjugorje, March 16, 2026
Dear Friends, praise be to Jesus and Mary!
1. On February 25th, 2026, the visionary, Marija, received the following monthly message:
“Dear children,
in this time of grace, anew, I am calling you to offer your lives to
God that He may lead you towards the resurrection through your personal
conversion. Little children, God is near to you and heeds your prayers,
but you are lulled to sleep, and that is why He sent me to you to awaken
you, and that you may shine holiness like a spring flower. Thank you
for having responded to my call.”
(With ecclesiastical approval)

2. The time has come to forgive!
At
the beginning of the apparitions, Jakov Colo, the youngest of the
visionaries, conveyed this message he had received from the Blessed
Mother: “Our Lady says it is necessary to pray with the heart.” But
the villagers did not understand the meaning of this message and
wondered what it meant to pray with the heart. Father Jozo Zovko asked
Jakov to ask Our Lady this question: “What does it mean to pray with the heart?” Jakov asked the Blessed Virgin Mary that very day and he conveyed this answer: “Our Lady says that to pray with the heart, one must forgive everyone.”
In
a packed church during the Mass that followed, Father Jozo quoted this
message from Our Lady. A profound silence and a palpable tension filled
the congregation. The people understood why she had spoken this way.
Indeed, rivalries and resentments existed among them due to land
boundaries and other such conflicts. Brotherly love was thus thwarted.
Father Jozo explained the fundamental importance of forgiveness. A heavy
silence still reigned in the church when an elder of the village,
well-known to all, stood up and fixed his gaze on one of the villagers
toward whom he harbored resentment. Then he made his way through the
congregation to approach him. He extended his hand and said aloud, "I forgive you!"
| |
Something extraordinary followed. Shortly
after this beautiful gesture, witnessed by the entire congregation,
another village elder rose, approached one of the parishioners, extended
his hand, and declared, "I forgive you!" Afterward,
Father Jozo saw them rise one after another and ask forgiveness of the
person toward whom they had held a grudge. This reconciliation among the
village elders was an unforgettable moment. A great peace descended
upon Medjugorje, for all had truly understood what it meant to "pray
with the heart!"
Today,
in these trying times when thousands of people live in fear, suffer,
and die under bombs, the Blessed Mother is counting on us more than
ever! Every reconciliation, every act of forgiveness, every heartfelt
prayer, every sacrifice offered, has an immense impact on the world
situation, bringing about peace. Jesus did not conquer through force, but through the gentleness of his love and forgiveness.
“Dear children,” the Virgin Mary tells us, “I am with you because I desire to help you overcome the trials which this time of purification puts before you. My
children, one of those is not to forgive and not to ask for
forgiveness. Every sin offends Love and distances you from it – and Love
is my Son. Therefore, my children, if you desire to walk with me
towards the peace of God’s love, you must learn to forgive and to ask
for forgiveness.” (2.09.10)
“My children, forgiveness is the highest form of love…By forgiving you show that you know how to love.” (2.06.19)
Let us now listen what Jesus says about forgiveness:
...
Then Peter came to Jesus and said, “Lord, how many times shall I
forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.” (Matthew 18:21-22)

3. On March 18, the visionary Mirjana Soldo will
receive her annual apparition in private. The date of March 18 is not
related to Mirjana's birthday (she was born on March 18, 1965), but Mary
chose it because, she says, this date will be of great importance in
the future. We do not know what it will be about, but on the day, the
Virgin Mary will reveal it.
Everyone
has high hopes for the message that Mirjana will receive; it will be
the voice of our beloved Mother speaking for us, for our humanity, which
so longs to move from darkness to Light, from senseless wars to true
peace, the peace that only God can give. In the message of November 2,
2014, Mary told us: "My Son promised me that evil will never win..."

4. On March 19th, we will celebrate Saint Joseph together! These
few prayers will help us draw closer to him and, through his powerful
intercession, obtain very special graces, the secrets of which he alone
holds. He has never disappointed us!
Saint Joseph, you
knew the imperfections of our humanity; you had to endure uncertainty
and profound darkness. Through the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary
and the Child Jesus, you understood how to live your spiritual life
deeply, how to be completely immersed in God, to do His will, and to
live each moment in His presence. You received the immense gift of being
guided by God Himself through your dreams! Teach us never to doubt His
love and His presence by our side, especially in difficult times!
O Saint Joseph, tender
father of the Holy Family, you who protected Jesus and Mary with such
care, deign to look with kindness upon our families. Protect our homes
and our towns, sustain us in the trials that beset us, and grant us your
powerful paternal protection.
O Saint Joseph, you
who await us in Paradise, it is to you that we entrust the hour of our
death. Be present at our side to comfort us, and lead us by the hand
toward the most beautiful day of our lives, the day of our entry into
Heaven.

Dearest Gospa, you
suffered with your Son Jesus, not only at the foot of the cross, but
every time you see a heart broken by resentment and hatred. Today, we
want to bring you joy and comfort by allowing love and forgiveness to
prevail in our hearts, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you
for being there… What would the world be without you!?
