The day began with the pilgrims climbing to the Cross on the mountain. Together we prayed the Patriotic Rosary at the top. The rest of the day was spent in prayer for our Nation.
Later, we met in the Field of Apparitions to pray in preparation for Our Lady’s apparition to Marija. The Rosary began at 6 o’clock PM. Just before the apparition, we prayed the Solemn Act of Consecration, which a Friend of Medjugorje wrote in 2008.
At 6:41 PM, Marija began praying the 7,7,7 and Our Lady appeared almost immediately after Marija began praying. The apparition lasted a little over four minutes. The following is Marija’s description of the apparition:
“In the moment when Our Lady came, you saw we began to pray, and Our Lady immediately came. And She immediately prayed over us for long time. And She turn over four part [ways]. So, She blessed I think, all us, but all Nation. And after, She pray one other time. She did not give a message. We are so asking Our Lady for a message for us. But I think the message that is most important is the blessing from Our Lady, and that we pray with Our Lady. And Our Lady said, “Tomorrow, same time, same place.”
Marija clarified to a Friend of Medjugorje afterwards, specifically about Our Lady’s actions during the apparition.
Marija explained that Our Lady turned all four directions and gave a blessing.
Marija, after the apparition on July 4, 2023, explaining what took place.
The apparition for July 5, 2023, will again take place in the Field of Apparitions, near the Tree. The Rosary will begin at 6:00 PM Central Time USA.

“We climbed the Penitentiary Mountain for The Soul of America”. On this July 4, 2023. It was very moving to pray the Patriotic Rosary on the steps of the Cross and been privileged to hold the corner of the American Flag while singing the American Anthem. Though born and raised in Philippines, I learned to sing the American Anthem in grade school,. We fly the American Flag in front of our house in USA all year round, and our love of America grow from the writings of the Friend of Medjugorje. So we thank FOM and the Community for this momentous time.
The thunderstorms of July 3 in the Field of Apparitions in the hot humid afternoon was a lifetime experience. We were huddled under a big umbrella but did not stand the 45 minutes continued rain, with thunder lightning frima distant. But I didn’t hear any complain, we were just at peace and prayerful, discerning that was added penance of my past sins. Being physically and spiritually cleansed .
Praised be Jesus and Mama Mary that my husband and I were present in all 9 consecrations, since 2008.
Thank you again for the graces bestowed on us, in person, by Our Lady through the presence of Marija, by the wisdom of FOM. Thank you dear Caritas community, so happy to see you again, like coming home.

My husband and I were blessed to be able to visit Caritas for the first time ever, celebrating our beautiful Nation’s birth-what a gift! My heart was overwhelmed with the love that poured forth while praying the Patriotic Rosary under the Cross, on top of the mountain! Thank you Community of Caritas and may God have mercy on our Nation!

Tonight, as I was catching up on yesterday’s apparition, something beautiful suddenly occurred to me. Every July 3 for perhaps the last 8–10 years we have held a “Rosary for Religious Liberty“ outside of our church at 7:30 PM. It is not a large group of people that participate, but since I advertise in 18 to 20 area church bulletins, we get a small representation of people from around our area that sacrificed their time to come and spend an hour in prayer for our country. We pray the Patriotic Rosary. What just occurred to me tonight, is that we were praying “Prayer to Heal Our Land” and just beginning our rosary at almost the exact time that Our Lady was appearing to Marija there in the field at Caritas! So, even though it did not occur to me then, we were praying in union with all of you for the healing and survival of our country!
Thank you for allowing us through your website to share what’s happening there with your most beautiful Visitor from Heaven! I know with all of our prayers, and the prayers of countless souls across this great land, that our country will be saved!
