Pilgrims were already journeying to Apparition Mountain for the feast of the Assumption as early as 3 a.m. this morning in Medjugorje, with a steady stream of pilgrims through the village and up the mountain all day to pay homage to their Queen on Her feast day. Holy Mass began in St. James Church at 5:00 a.m. and continued on the hour until early afternoon.
Around 7:30 p.m., a large crowd of pilgrims was already gathering to sing and pray in preparation for Our Lady’s apparition to Ivan at 10:00 p.m. on top of Apparition Mountain. By 8:15 p.m. when the pre-Rosary songs began, all areas around the top of Apparition Mountain and the main pathways to the top of the mountain were filling up fast as groups poured in from all sides to get close to Our Lady. At around 9:15 p.m., when Ivan and his prayer group began the prayer of the Rosary in preparation for Our Lady’s coming, there were wall-to-wall pilgrims as far as you could see from the top of the mountain. There were even small groups of last-minute pilgrims that snuck in at the top of the mountain as the second Rosary before the apparition time was concluded. By the time Our Lady appeared to Ivan, there were several thousands of pilgrims packed on Apparition Mountain.
Our Lady was truly showing us She was with us on Her feast day, as the wind grew stronger and stronger as the apparition time approached. The entire time Our Lady was with us, the wind was very powerful. She was indeed present tonight in the wind and in Her encouraging words.
Ivan began the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary at 9:15 p.m. and then began the Glorious Mysteries. After the 4th Glorious Mystery, it was announced that it was time for the apparition. Almost everyone on Apparition Mountain knelt to receive Our Lady. Our Lady appeared around 10:00 p.m. and the apparition lasted about 8 minutes. The following is a description of Our Lady’s apparition to Ivan during his prayer group meeting on top of Apparition Mountain on the Feast of the Assumption.
Tonight Our Lady came exceptionally joyful and happy. When She came She greeted all of us with Her Motherly greeting saying, “Praised be Jesus, my dear children, my dear little children.” She then prayed over all of us with Her hands extended for a longer time. In a special way She prayed over those who are sick, present on the hill. She then blessed us with Her Motherly Blessing. She blessed all of the religious articles that have been brought for blessing. Ivan recommended all of us, all of our needs, and all of our intentions. In a special way again, he recommended all of the sick. With Her hands extended, Our Lady continued to pray over all of us. And then She said:
“Dear children, also today I call you with responsibility to accept my messages. Live, dear children, my messages. Today, in a special way, I call you, renew family prayer. Dear children, only by the renewal of the family prayer can today’s world be renewed spiritually. Spiritual renewal, dear children, is necessary for today’s world. Dear children, know that the Mother prays with you. The Mother intercedes with Her Son for all of you. The Mother loves all of you. Dear children, thank you for having responded to my call.”
Afterwards, Ivan prayed together with Our Lady an Our Father and Glory Be. There was a brief conversation between them. And then Our Lady left in an illuminated Sign of the Cross, with the greeting, “Go in peace, my dear children.”
A Friend of Medjugorje is out of town right now, and when he was read the message over the phone, his comment was that this message is exactly what July 1-5 was about. If we want our Nation healed, it will come only through the family, not through the presidents.
July 1-5, we consecrated ourselves, our families, and our Nation to God. For the Consecration Prayers that were prayed July 1-5, for our Families, Click Here…
We encourage everyone to pray the Special Consecration of the Family, especially in light of Our Lady’s message above to Ivan.

Amen, we can not remain in silence for the love of our neighbors and family for the love our God. You can not make holy just and good that which is unholy in the sight of God. Pray for true peace and love which is not of this world but found in the Kingdom of our Merciful Savior Jesus Christ. The Kingdom of God is within us only with prayer fasting and supplication can our world be sanctified thru his grace of Love and Mercy. Jesus have mercy on us who are sorrowful and amend Sin for Love.

Dear A Friend of Medjugorje,I say this with only charity in the heart. Why do you seek to imitate St. Paul, when Our Lady is Our Queen of All Holiness? Our Lady is a better example. She never sought anything for herself. To become better Christians, we need to love God and neighbor before ourselves in every present moment, like Our Lady. This includes times when our reputation may be affected. It is better to offer our reputation to Our Lord as a sacrifice, which bears much spiritual fruit.
Great show today. I completely agree with in your stand against abominable lifestyles. I mailed the packet of letters to the members of the Alabama justices and I thank you for putting it together. Also thank you and members of the Caritas community for standing up for biblical truth, Our Lady, and Medjugorje.
