Our Lady’s Special Blessing is very important. She told us to give the blessing to everyone we meet.
Each day, everywhere I go, I silently give the blessing. Truly, it’s such a joyful thing and I don’t want to miss anyone. What I do now is… when I say my final night-time prayers just before going to sleep, I revisit my day and go through the steps of that day, asking myself if I missed someone. I then make sure I gave the Special Blessing out, as She mentioned we are to do. I’m very grateful to be able to spiritually help others this way – it has really become a blessing to me too! It brings peace to extend it along to the world.
Thank you for writing the short book about it, it’s one of my favorites.

[THEME MUSIC]
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
Don’t you love that music? I like it. It gives me chills. It reminds me of so many beautiful things with Our Lady.
This message, Our Lady just gave, January 25th, it’s positive. It’s good. It’s beautiful. So, listen to this message of Our Lady.
Our Lady of Medjugorje’s January 25, 2026, Monthly Message to the World
“Dear children, today, I am calling you to be prayer and a blessing for all those who have not come to know God’s love. Little children, be different from others and be positive people of prayer and love towards God, that with your lives, you may be a sign of God’s love to others. I bless you with my motherly blessing and intercede for each of you before my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
[COC I]
So, before a Friend of Medjugorje continues, I just want to interject here that it’s been like watching a Master Class of what Our Lady’s speaking about in this message when you are with a Friend of Medjugorje.
Because everywhere he goes, and every encounter that he has, that’s his wish…to be a blessing to those he meets and to me a sign of God’s love to others.
I was with him just last week. We were walking into a building and there’s this big woman who was hugging everybody she met.
And you could tell that she was a character, that people knew her.
And so she would go and greet Mr. Brown with a big hug.
And then she’d turn around and there would be somebody else and she’d say, hey let me give you a hug.
And here comes a Friend of Medjugorje and he walks right into this scene, and he says, “I want a hug! I want a hug!”
And she looks at him like, I don’t know who you are but she gives him a big hug and they laugh.
And, you know, he just brings in Our Lady somehow, someway and it brings joy.
That really is the gift Our Lady has been giving him over the last several years, especially with Villaggio Colafrancesco.
His whole desire is to encounter people to bring laughter, to bring joy and then that’s the door that opens to bring Our Lady into it.
There was another situation that he was at a doctor’s appointment, and the nurse there is taking his vitals and she asked him, do you ever get headaches? He says no.
How is your sleeping, do have trouble sleeping? Sometimes.
What about your heart, do you ever see your heart racing? And he said, he said, no, only when I see a pretty girl. And she just starts laughing.
And the next thing you know, he has a card that he is pulling out of his pocket that says come to Villaggio Colafrancesco for a free gelato and a free coffee.
That really makes them laugh. That brings joy. And so one of our community members during our New Year’s retreat that we have every New Year’s Eve, he was telling the story of how he was speaking with a Friend of Medjugorje, just about his manner with the people at Villaggio.
And he said, a Friend of Medjugorje got serious with him, and he says, it’s really important to bring joy to people.
This is something that Our Lady wants us to be doing. And I just think this message speaks to that so strongly in his witness and how he has a real desire to lift people up because so many, many people have terrible lives and terrible burdens that they carry and just a smile or a word of cheer really can help lift a person’s day up and set them on a new path.
So, I just wanted to share those stories because I really do see a difference in a Friend of Medjugorje over the last several years, that this has become so much more important to him, even though he has always been somebody that enjoys encountering people and hearing their stories and sharing their stories and finding a way to bring Our Lady into their lives.
But more so now than ever this is a personal goal, I think a Friend of Medjugorje carries with him all day, every day.

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
It’s fun for me. I like to go [laughing]…you’re right. You get five people getting their ice cream, I just tell you, all these people right here, its free!
It brings joy. That is what Our Lady says today on this message, “…be a sign of God’s love to others…”
And I just love to go up to people, they don’t know me and I don’t know them. It’s a grace.
Our Lady is giving us this grace. You should be trying to do these things.
She said, “…I am calling you to be prayer and a blessing for all those who have not come to know God’s love. Little children, be different from others and be positive people of prayer and love towards God…”
That reminds me that Our Lady may be talking about the martyr, Charlies Kirk, when he got shot. And he was debating people or talking to them positively. Before he got shot and killed he had been starting praying the Rosary.
Are you doing these things to be a sign of God’s love to others?
The message, Our Lady says, “…I bless you with my motherly blessing…”
That message brings to mind the Special Blessing of Our Lady.
I was in the office. I picked up a magazine and there were people in a field, or over here, pictures about this, and I started putting my finger on these people, giving them the Special Blessing.
Marija went to Fatima, with some friends, Kathleen and another boy that is in Portugal.
And Marija had her apparition in Fatima, in the plaza.
And Our Lady told Marija, I want you to give a Special Blessing to the people, everybody that you see.
Those you see, or people that may be on the other side of the world. You know who your friend, or you know who they are, family or whoever, and Our Lady says I want you to give this Special Blessing wherever you go, whoever you meet.
So, after that apparition, they went out in the plaza, they held hands and they walked and as they walked, they gave the Special Blessing for everybody they passed.
When Marija came back from there, she told me this. And I grilled her more on it.
And this January 25, 2026 message, She says, “…I bless you with my motherly blessing…”
The Special Blessing is not what She is saying, but it triggered me to remind you to do that.
If I get on a plane, I’m blessing everybody I see.
Sometimes when I get, in Atlanta, on the train, I’m blessing every one of them with this blessing.
What this Blessing does, and I grilled after for a long time, Marija, I asked two or three times and I wrote the book, “The Blessing to Help the Whole World.”
So, when I was talking about the magazine earlier, put my finger on the picture, what you are going to hear, eight things what this Blessing does for you and the world.
[NARRATOR]
While it cannot be said that there are strict guidelines to be adhered to and that everything is precise, through Medjugorje visionary Marija we understand the following about the Special Blessing:
- This is a blessing which has the power to convert and to help people.
- It may be used on believers and non-believers to help them convert or to help them progress in their conversion process.
- Once Our Lady gives it to you, it lasts your whole life.
- You do not have to be in the presence of the one you are blessing.
- You can only give it individually from you to the individual, whereas a priest can bless a crowd with Christ’s blessing. Our Lady’s blessing is from one person to the next.
- If you receive this blessing from Our Lady and in turn bless another with it, that person has it to the same degree you first received it from Our Lady. This second person may then give it to a third, and the third to a fourth, etc. All will receive this gift to bless others just as if Our Lady gave it directly. This blessing will last your entire lifetime.
- You must be at the site of the apparition to receive it directly from Our Lady.
To bless someone, a spontaneous prayer is fine. You can say, “I extend to you the blessing of Our Lady.” If you choose to say more, it is acceptable. When giving this Special Blessing to a non-believer, a family member, friend, or non-acquaintance, you may do so silently, in his presence or from a distance. You may extend this blessing everyday, even several times a day, to help this person to convert.

So, all those people at Fatima, anywhere else you go to, and you give the Special Blessing to them, I’ve been doing this for years.
When you come here, you can ask anybody in the community to give this blessing and then you can be giving the Special Blessing to them.
To get the booklet that tells you everything, you can go on Mej.com, on the side and find it or do a search, “A Blessing to Help Save the World,” or you can call Caritas and order the book, “A Blessing to Help Save the World.”
Order 20 of them and get [???] this blessing to you.
This is what Our Lady said. “Be positive.” It should be part of your life.
To summarize this up, what Our Lady just said in this message, be a blessing for all those who have not come to know God’s love.
I was flipping a magazine, giving people whoever they are [the Blessing].
In this song, you’re going to hear, see the beauty of this gift.
[SONG: THE PAINTER]
She talks about the future like she’s flippin’ through a magazine
Finds the beauty in the thrown away and broken things
Gets excited about all my crazy dreams
Got every sunset that she’s ever seen memorized
Saves in a way for a rainy day or stormy night
The sky’s brighter lookin’ at it through her eyes
I don’t remember
Life before she came into the picture
Brought the beauty I was missin’ with her
Showed me colors I ain’t Never seen
She took chances
With every wall I built, she saw a canvas
I thank God every day for how He made her
My life was black and white but she’s the painter
She reminds me that it ain’t too late to start again
Fine is good but you need some blue every now and then
How’d I live so long without her reckless touch?
I don’t remember
Life before she came into the picture
Brought the beauty I was missin’ with her
Showed me colors I ain’t never seen
She took chances
With every wall I built, she saw a canvas
I thank God every day for how He made her
My life was black and white but she’s the painter
I don’t remember
Life before she came into the picture
Brought the beauty I was missin’ with her
Showed me colors I ain’t never seen
She took chances
With every wall I built, she saw a canvas
I thank God every day for how He made her
My life was black and white but she’s the painter
She’s the painter
[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]
November 25, 1989, Our Lady said:
“…By means of the messages, I wish to make a very beautiful mosaic in your heart…”
We don’t know what we have. The life of living here for these last 45 years or more, Our Lady on the earth.
She’s with us. She’s the painter. She’s beautiful.
This message we just talked about is everything.
We are so fortunate of any generation, probably in history.
Thank you, God. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Mary, for this gift.
I wish you Our Lady. I love all people. And it’s a joy for me to give them joy.
Goodnight.

Dear FOM, I was away celebrating a friend’s 80th Birthday when your January 29th Broadcast was made. On my return, I have watched, and re-watched this important broadcast that helps me on many levels. The idea to “bless everyone you see wherever you go” to help Our Blessed Mother in her conversion of sinners and the unbelievers who do not see the dangerous path they travel. I am leaving shortly to help my daughter who has twin identical boys turning one years old and a son who is now 5 years old. None of the three boys have been baptized, no one goes to church and the father was raised Catholic. The 5 year old attends Church with his paternal Catholic grandparents and wants to be Jesus when he grows up. So instead of being silent or praying only, I now have “The Blessing to Help the Whole World” as a tool to use in my month long visit. The fact that I can do it silently, in their presence or from a distance gives me hope that doing it several times a day will help me to convert my daughter and her family. I am so fortunate to have Our Lady here daily on earth for 45 years with her messages. Thank you God, thank you Jesus and thank you Mary for this gift of hope, love, generosity and joy. I can forgive myself and others for our bad choices and look to positive solutions to getting my grandkids baptized, which is a terrible regret for parents like me who lost their focus in the 1970’s and fell away. God bless you and your Caritas community for all the sound advice and wise counsel that you tirelessly give me over and over again. Love, Susan -

Dear FOM, Thank you for Being a Blessing to Everyone, Especially me.Whenever a program gets postponed, I feel a tinge of disapointment, because I’m always looking forward to listening to each of your programs with great anticipation, to hear what you have to say.
I know y’all work so hard, and you’re always doing your best to get your programs out in a timely manner, but I just wanted you to know, how much I miss your program, when it has to wait a bit longer before it’s birthed.
I should also tell you, I equally await for each programs Transcript, as I enjoy reading it, during my second hearing of each program, with it in hand.
There are many times you’ve told everyone to listen to your program multiple times, but I have to tell you, everyone should do that with each and everyone of them.
So here now, I just listened to “I Love People,” a second time, while I’m still waiting for the Transcript to come out….It’s OK, the best things in life are worth waiting for….I look forward to making a copy of the 8 things I need to always remember about Our Lady’s Special Blessing.
Honestly, Thursdays and the 25th of the Month, are all full of Our Lady’s Candies, and your programs, are one of those sweet delights, people should allow to sink in.
Thank you for bringing so much joy into my life, along with everyone else at Caritas of Birmingham.
God Bless and I’m gonna keep my eyes open for that Transcript….Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Michael John Hebert
