"...My children, my apostles, help me to open the paths to my Son. Once again I call you to pray for your shepherds. Alongside them, I will triumph. Thank you."
"...I call you to pray with all your heart for your shepherds, because my Son chose them. Thank you." (August 2, 2011)
Let's continue with Mirjana's sharing given in her home during the week before the 30th Anniversary. In these remarks, Mirjana shares about Our Lady's love for our priests. She continues:

"But if we talk about Our Lady and her messages, if we talk about someone who is privileged for Our Lady, it is our priests. Our Lady has never told us what priests should be doing. Rather she always talks about what we should do for them. She said they don't need us to judge them, they need us love them and to pray for them. God will judge them for the way they were as priests. And God will judge us in the way we treated our priest. And Our Lady says that if we lose respect for our priest, then we will lose respect for our Church and for Dear God as well.
In the same way, in the second of the month apparition, Our Lady always says something about the importance of our priests. For example when she is giving us her blessing, she says, "I am giving you my motherly blessing, but the greatest blessing you can receive here on earth is the blessing of your priest. When they bless you, it is my Son Himself blessing you." Then she also says, "Do not forget to pray for your shepherds. Their priestly hands are blessed by my Son."That is why I am always telling pilgrims that when they go back to their homes they should show others how we should respect our priests. And if your parish priest is not acting as you think he should, do not judge him, but take the rosary and pray to Dear God for him. That would be the way to help him. In this world that we live in, we judge too much. There is so little love. Our Lady desires that we who claim to know God will be recognized by love.
In one of her latest messages Our Lady said, "Alongside them, we will triumph." That means that without priests, there won't be the Triumph of Our Lady's Heart. I am sorry that I can't share with you more of what is to happen, but I can tell you one thing. We have this time we are living in now, our present time, and we have the time of the Triumph of Our Lady's Heart, and between these two times we have a bridge. And that bridge is our priests. That is why recently Our Lady has been emphasizing prayers for them, so that this bridge will be so strong that every one of us can cross it." (Mirjana Soldo, speaking in her home in Medjugorje in June 2011 just before the 30th

Our priests are the bridge between our present time, this time of prayer, of penance, of conversion, of the sacraments, of the Bible, and of Holy Mass, and the time of the Triumph of Our Lady's Heart. What does a bridge do? It spans a river or a canyon. It makes it possible to go from one side to the other. So, the entrance into the time of the Triumph of Our Lady's Heart is going to involve some kind of transition or crossing over. It will happen through the ministries of our priests. We need them very much. They make Christ present to us in the Sacraments. They really are our bridge to the Sacraments. And the Triumph of Our Lady's Heart will be the Triumph of the Church, of the Sacraments! We need our priests.
Lord, we ask You to bless, protect, inspire, and anoint our priests, that they will be a strong bridge for us to cross into the time of the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!
In Jesus and Mary!
