Today, July 2, 2012 was a day dedicated to the individual conversion of the heart. After several days of sweltering heat, Our Lady granted a slight reprieve, as a little rain helped to mitigate some of the heat. Medjugorje visionary Marija spoke to pilgrims today, and spoke about how the importance of love is in the Christian life, somewhat echoing what A Friend of Medjugorje spoke about yesterday, and what was broadcasted on Radio WAVE today. Marija also spoke a little on the message given to Mirjana this morning.
Yesterday, Our Lady told Marija, that today, the apparition would take place in the Bedroom of Apparitions, at 6:40 PM. Pilgrims had gathered in the Field and began praying the Rosary at 6 PM, in union with those gathered in the Bedroom. The Rosary was peaceful, with singing between the decades. Slightly before 6:40 PM, the pilgrims paused to offer the Consecration prayers to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, as dictated to Jelena, Medjugorje inner locutionist, along with the St. Louis de Montfort Consecration to Our Lady. Afterwards, Marija began praying the seven Our Father’s, seven Hail Mary’s, and seven Glory Be’s. Our Lady appeared around 6:43 PM and the apparition lasted a little over 3 and a half minutes. Throughout the apparition, several sobs could be heard out loud as those gathered poured out their hearts to Our Lady. Following is Marija’s description of the apparition in the Bedroom, on July 2, 2012:
“In the moment of the apparition when Our Lady came, I recommended all of us, and all our intentions. Our Lady prayed over us, and She blessed us all. I asked also a blessing for all those who were in the Field, and Our Lady sent a blessing also for those there. I asked for tomorrow and where and She said, ‘Apparition is in the Field, 10 O’clock in the evening.’ So, apparition is for everybody, thank God.”
Our Lady also blessed the religious articles which were brought for blessing. Four priests were present for the apparition tonight, with one, newly ordained just over a month, and another celebrating 50 years of priesthood, with the other two in between.
Again, tomorrow night’s apparition will take place at 10:00 PM, Central Time USA, in the Field of Apparitions. All the public is invited to come and be present with Our Lady.

Medjugorje visioanry Marija, speaking today from the Tabernacle of Our Lady’s Messages at Caritas, Alabama. Each of the visionaries of Medjugorje have been chosen to understand or portray something of Our Lady. A Friend of Medjugorje is convinced that Marija’s special gift is to show the love of Our Lady. Marija spoke of love today, giving an illustration of a friend who often comes and brings homemade cakes to her home. Often, just after the gift is given, a special guest will arrive at Marija’s home, such as a bishop and the cake is then shared. Marija says that she doesn’t respond to her friend by saying, “Thank you for the cake,” but rather she says, “Thank you for your love” because love is what is behind the gift. It is more important to acknowledge someone’s love that is behind the gift, then the gift itself.  All the pilgrims gathered today to hear Marija speak could feel the love behind Marija’s words–the love of Our Lady through one of Her chosen visionaries.

I cannot express enough my deepest gratitude for this miraculous time with Our Lady, Marija Lunetti and the entire Carritas community. My life – my heart is forever changed by this holy pilgrimage. Thank You, Community of Carritas! You have given us all a great and glorious gift- the chance to be in the magnificent presence of the Mother of God to and to consecrate ourselves to her. My life is forever changed and I have decided for God- his will, his grace is sufficient for me from this time on. Blessed be God- and blessed be the Mother of God: Mary, most holy- Our Lady- QUEEN OF PEACE.
What an honor and blessing it was for us to be able to join the large crowds again this week for 3 of the apparitions, for much joyful prayer from the heart, for the confessions in the fields, and the morning Masses at OLV. Despite the heat and large crowds everyone was in a happy mood as we knew each day we would be praying for our families’ and country in the presence of our Lady, the Queen of Peace. Thank you again to Maria for making the hard trip to help us all re-consecrate our nation to Christ through our Holy Mother (and with her through the apparitions). Also a big thank you to the Community of Caritas for your tireless efforts to bring our Lady’s messages to the world, for living a life of example that is a beacon to us all, and for your always warm and loving hospitality. We miss you all already! With deepest love and affection, your brother and sister in Christ and Mary, Rich and Carole
Thank you for posting the times for Mary’s apparitions. There are many of us who have joined you in prayer before, during, and after the apparitions. God bless your generosity.
Oh how I long to be with you. I continually thank God that I can be with you in spirit thanks to all your sharing through your website. My heart overflows! Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to offer my petitions to Our Lady, too. Your work is so powerful, dear Community of Caritas. May God continue to bless all of you and all those you reach!
Thanks for for the messages being shared with the whole world. Dear friends, we can see the love Marija received from our mother by the delightful expression in her face. It is the love we all receive from our Mother.What a glamour! If we can spread the love we receive from God. first in our families Then to our society, It will be the fulfillment of God’s intention. But it is not easy, dear friends as we were so weak. We have to meditate in prayer, and try to be close to God by praying constantly. Thanks Mother Mary for your Motherly Love!
Thank you for giving us day by day updates of all that is going on during these special days. I long to be at Caritas, to be in the presence of my Heavenly Mother and to be praying along side of all those who believe in the miracles taking place each day. I am joining you from afar and offering communion and adoration tomorrow for Our Lady’s intentions.God Bless all of you. Hug ” for me.
Thank you for the messages being shared to the rest of the world. I personally pray with your community and for the intentions, specially for the US, since the rest of us are likewise affected with what happens there. Here in the Philippines we are likewise fighting against the RH Bill which likewise promotes the culture of death if passed as a law. God bless us all.
I am so grateful for the information on Mary’s apparitions and Her calling us to prayer. It has been difficult for me to understand exactly what she has been wanting us to do but I believe I see clearly now that she has specific things that we need to pray for and about. Mary & Jesus love us so much that they continue to help us along the way to see….. to get it….. to understand…. to pray. They want us with them in Heaven and certainly are helping us grope along the way as we fall so many time. Thanks Caritas for informing us. Love, Shirley
