[THEME MUSIC]

 

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

August 25, 2025, message is a good one.  Very good.

 

Our Lady is giving us a lot of hints of what She wants.

Listen to every word that She says:

 

[COC – RUTH]

 

Our Lady Queen of Peace of Medjugorje’s August 25, 2025, Monthly Message to the World

 

“Dear children, my little children, my beloved ones; you are chosen because you have responded, you have put into practice my instructions and love God above all else. Therefore, little children, pray with all your heart that my words may be realized. Fast, sacrifice yourselves, love out of love for God Who created you, and be, little children, my extended hands to this world that has not come to know the God of love. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

 

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

It’s amazing that we have eight billion people in the world.

 

How many know about Medjugorje?  We can guess, maybe five hundred million.

 

We know over fifty million people that have gone to Medjugorje.

 

But it’s a drop and there are people who have told others, that is also, a drop in the bucket.

 

And yet, Our Lady is talking to the whole world.

 

Are they listening?  Can you listen to them?  The eight billion people. It’s a drop in the bucket.

 

How is that going to happen?

 

I saw the messages had to have some structure to propagate the messages. We are reaching, basically, every country in the world.

 

And that still is not enough.  There are twelve things Our Lady said in this message.

 

One: My little children.

 

A second thing: My beloved ones.

 

Who is that?  That’s the little children. You, me, that’s following Her.

 

The third thing She says: You are chosen.

 

A fourth thing She says: because you have responded.

 

Have you? Have you gone to Medjugorje? Have you not gone to Medjugorje? Have you come to Caritas when Our Lady is here?

 

Are you still in tune with the messages constantly?

 

Are you reading and listening to on the 25th or do you forget them?

 

Our Lady is looking for something much bigger than just listening to the message for a day. Think about it for a couple of days and then you forget it, or you don’t think about it.

 

Four, what I said, “because you have responded.”

 

The fifth thing She says: you have put into practice.

 

What is it? The sixth thing, She says, my instructions.

 

What is Our Lady saying after that?  The seventh thing: and love God above all else.

 

Counting up to those seven statements.

 

The eighth thing She says: therefore, little children, pray with all your heart…

 

Why? That my words may be realized.

 

The ninth thing is fast.

 

You can’t claim yourself if you are not fasting.

 

Tenth, She says: sacrifice yourselves.

 

Eleventh thing: love out of love for God.

 

The twelfth thing, Our Lady says here: be, little children, my extended hands to this world.

 

There it is. There right there.

 

This world.

We are a drop in the bucket.

 

How are we going to get to the world?

 

How is it going to change?

 

We are a speck out of eight billion people.

 

That twelfth thing, my extended hands to this world.

 

From 1986, I began to put the messages to work.

 

I started with Caritas to be ready for conversion of the world.

 

And again, that is back in 1986.

 

From 1986, I’ve been building the foundation, the structure for a community, to form a machine to propagate Our Lady’s message to help you to have materials to propagate the messages.

 

Our Lady’s messages, with the writings, the radio broadcasts, and many, many works to get out the messages across the world.

 

The Tabernacle of Our Lady’s Messages.

 

When I began all this, I realized, the only thing people were doing was putting messages in the fax machine.

 

I realized, way back when, we had to make a machine to reach people in all kinds of ways.

 

And it’s been very successful.

 

When I read this message today, what came to me after I read it, She is setting to launch Her next steps.

 

This message is almost like a coach, all these years, training practice, to be ready for the game.

 

Go back to the message again in your thoughts, what you heard.

 

“Little children,” first.

 

“Beloved ones,” second.

 

“You are chosen,” third.

 

“Responded,” fourth.

 

Five, “put into practice.”

 

Six, what? “My instructions.”

 

Seven, “love God above all else.”

 

Eight, “Pray with all your heart that my words may be realized.”

 

They are supposed to go everywhere.

 

It would be great if we had planes to just drop them all across the world.

 

But you can’t propagate Her words and make them be realized.

 

You have to have the gas to run the machine.

 

The next thing to realize that is, “fast, sacrifice yourself.”

 

I birthed Caritas.  I did not follow everybody else. And there are many, many Medjugorje centers.
Our Lady showed me to be something different.

 

I got it from Her, inspired in my walk in what we do.

 

From writing, radio shows, many works, billboards…and it has been very successful.

 

But now, with this message today, it is like Our Lady is saying, “It is time to do what needs to be done now.”

 

We’ve got the Mission House in Medjugorje, but even though what we are doing, we’ve got the pedal to the metal.

 

June 23, 1981

 

It was summer in the village of 400 people there. They had their work with the fields, the animals, they had no idea the next day, the 24th, Our Lady was birthing something that nobody could [imagine].

 

And then the next day, the 25th, Our Lady said, this is the day, the official, what I am here for.

 

Our Lady just came in like a picture.

 

So natural, as a mother.

 

How long was Our Lady planning to come to the earth?

 

Centuries? Yeah.

 

All the apparitions She had was building for what is now.

 

We know that this is the climax because She said, “These are my last apparitions on earth.”

 

Our Lady could not contain Herself. She had to come down.

Our Lady is here in this message today, and go to the beginning, She wants me and you, “better.”

 

Our Lady is coming down to make me better and to make you better, through the messages, for the whole world.

 

This message today is clear.

 

I know we are only getting better.

 

And She is launching something from this message right now.

 

When Our Lady appeared, right in the beginning, Our Lady wanted to start a fire.

 

And that is what exactly happened on top of the mountain.

 

It was a miracle.

 

All the men ran up to the mountain to put the fire out.

 

There was no fire. Nothing was charred.

 

She wants you to be better and this is what this message today is about, to give yourself, your whole life.

 

She just came down, so natural, as one somebody may see in a picture.

 

Except the visionary saw something real.

 

So soft. So beautiful.

 

[SONG: BETTER]

 

You came into the picture like a natural
You were unexpected, got me spiritual
I don’t wanna say it, but maybe it was fate
And I can not contain it

 

And I know, and I know it’s a different love
And I know, and I know that you make me better
It’s a love that will keep me holding on. ooh
And I know and I know we only get better

 

I came into your picture such a broken fool
A million different pieces looking back at you
Believe me when I say this, I was giving up
But now you come and save me

 

And I know and I know it’s a different love
And I know and I know that you make me better
It’s a love that will keep me holding on
And I know and I know we only get better

 

Ohh, ay, ay, we only get better
Ohh, ay, ay, we only get better
Ohh, ay, ay, we only get better
Ohh, ay, ay, we only get better

 

Love can terrify, love can start a fire
Holding on tonight, we’re burning like a lighter
Everything inside us burning with desire, now

 

And I know and I know it’s a different love
And I know and I know that you make me better
You’re enough and you keep me holding on
And I know and I know we only get better

 

Ohh, ay, ay, we only get better
Ohh, ay, ay, we only get better
Ohh, ay, ay, we only get better
Ohh, ay, ay, we only get better

 

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

This message is one for us, so we only get better.

 

You have to be praying.

 

Our Lady says often, go into nature.

 

This valley, Our Lady, here at Caritas, a valley that was named, “Paradise Valley.”

 

The visionaries have gone everywhere. But wherever they go, Our Lady appears.

 

Medjugorje is geographically Our Lady’s apparitions.

 

And Our Lady said these are the last apparitions.

 

And here at Caritas, is geographically, Our Lady made it clear that this is geographically, go to the Tree, go to the Bedroom, today I am going to have two apparitions in one day, several times.

 

Our Lady, here, was saying, where She is going to be every day.

 

And the next thing. That is geographically here.

 

So we, here in the United States of America, we did the Consecrations here. Our Lady listened to them.

She accepted them.

 

This is going to be the last apparition place, unless She goes and does something of what She did here, or She goes somewhere else.

 

That has not happened.

 

The whole world is looking at the United States of America right now.

 

Look at the changes that have happened.

 

Four times we did the Consecration.  Marija said Our Lady stood there and listened to it.

There are miracles.

 

Our Lady had angels in the Bedroom and outside.

 

And I have had that experience.

 

How powerful that you have an angel.

I’ve experienced that.

 

And your angel will help you get better too and even protect you.

 

What I am going to play right now, what happened to me one time.

 

These are my words that you are going to hear now.

 

[NARRATOR]

 

The following is from the real-life experience of a Friend of Medjugorje.  This is the story as written in the Caritas Community rule, “A Way’ in a New Time.”

 

A Friend of Medjugorje gives us here his own real-life experience:

 

Quote: Years before, even before I heard about Medjugorje, I was traveling past St. Paul’s Cathedral, downtown. I had picked up a truckload of sod grass and had a truck and trailer full to capacity. I was going downtown to the “Block” to pick up five or six extra day helpers, of which I often did when I needed more help than my regular employees.

 

I was already late and in a big hurry. However, I always stopped in at the church, even if for only a minute, to say hello to Jesus in the Tabernacle. I would often park my truck in the lane and put flashers on, run inside to say a short prayer, and then be off on my way.

 

On this morning, I was able to pull off into the right lane, where several parking spaces were empty, allowing me to pull my truck out of the way of traffic. I went into St. Paul’s to pray and found the church attended by the school children as I went in front of the Blessed Sacrament on the side.

 

I was tormented because I knew Mass was about to begin. How could I walk out on Mass? I had read that St. Thomas More, while attending Mass, was notified that he was expected to appear before the King immediately, without delay.

 

He sent the messenger back and had him say to the King, “I will come in response to my earthly King’s request after I am finished serving my Heavenly King.” He knew to do this might mean his head. However, the King relented.

 

For me, how could I leave Holy Mass, even though I could easily justify it because of worldly reasons? I couldn’t! And so, I stayed. I prayed the homily would be short. It wasn’t.

 

I thought because it was a weekly Mass there would be no singing, but they sang. It took all my resolve not to be concerned with the sod, the need to get it laid out that day, and picking up men, etc…but I was not going to leave.

 

It may not sound so difficult, but everything in me, from a business standpoint, my training and experience in what it takes to get jobs done, told me to leave and to leave now. I decided I would immediately leave after receiving communion; after all, I had gone well beyond practical worldly reason.

 

However, I found I could not do it. My conscience told me I must stay and give appropriate thanksgiving after receiving Jesus. I felt my body wanting to run out, yet my soul was saying, “No, you will stay.”

 

After my prayer of thanksgiving, another battle in deciding, with all my reason tempting me, to leave before the final blessing. Why stay? But I knew I had to stay and receive the final blessing. It seemed as though it was going on and on, for even the priest lingered talking to some of the kids before giving the blessing. But I was determined to stay to receive it.

 

Finally, he gave it and I rushed out of the church.

 

Suddenly, I felt the weight of knowing my whole week would be thrown off kilter because of the decisions I made this morning and financially, at that time, I could not afford such a set back. Nevertheless, I chose God first, even though I knew it would cost me. My resolve was I would just have to live with it because when such choices are presented, I felt God had to be first.

 

Upon arrival at the Block of 14th Street, I was relieved to see 20 men or so still there. Still, I knew some of the best would have already been picked up.

 

I pulled over, got out and was immediately surrounded by those who wanted to be picked to work. Out of nowhere, came a man who grabbed me by the collar and began screaming in a rage and cursing. He seemed to be crazed. Suddenly I realized he had a knife in his hand.

 

He reared back with his hand from behind his back and with his arm in a full swing, lunged the knife for my throat, screaming all the while as if possessed. It was so fast; I didn’t even have time to react. For some strange reason, I felt strongly not to. Just as the knife was about to plunge into my throat, he stopped, and the point of the knife did not penetrate.

 

But he reared back a second time, again slinging his arm rapidly and with full force, only to stop a second time just at the point the knife would have pierced me. I saw men in the background, wide-eyed. Men who I had helped for several years by giving them money and food. In helping them, I had become friends with some of these black men.

 

As this rage was going on, I could see the fear in their faces behind the crazed man, and I knew they saw it was my end.

 

A third time, with all his might, he went to stab me, with the full force of his weight and intensity, only to stop or rather be stopped just before the point of the blade touched my throat. No more than ten seconds had passed. Everything was so quick that neither I nor anyone else had time to react.

 

Suddenly, he screamed, let go and ran off. The other men came to me, asking if I was all right, and said they were scared to death. They were all repeating, “I thought you were dead,” or “I don’t know why that man didn’t stab you, he was crazy.” They relayed that they froze and could not move.

 

I myself was puzzled, for his rage was certainly of an uncontrollable nature. But I soon remembered from where I had just come.

 

My choice of Jesus over my worldly security had placed me in physical security through what I had only a few minutes before received. The man wanted to stab me. Three times he tried. The other men who witnessed the scene could not believe I had not been hurt, as this man’s rage indicated that he really was intent on doing. Everything in him tried and wanted to, but he couldn’t. Having received Jesus just a few moments before saved me. Literally, the Eucharist saved my life.

 

The angels blocked the man’s hand. I realized it was because of putting Jesus first in my life. Even though it went against my worldly well-being and took all my might to stay in Mass, the outcome was, that despite all this man’s might, he was stopped.

 

Today I would not likely be here had it not been for just having received Jesus. To me it was clear and simple. The Eucharist not only saves but also preserves.

 

It was a lesson of choosing God first and the fruit of doing so. Needless to say, this and so many other lessons have fortified myself, and later the community to the importance of Mass.

[SONG: BRING ME AN ANGEL]

People talk about tomorrow
Like they know which way to go
Like the path that they follow
Ain’t a winding twisting road

‘Cause lately it seems
I don’t know where to go
Or what’s become of me
Won’t you bring me an angel
Call one quick
Make me a miracle
I could use it
Bring me an angel
Bring me an angel

I hear words like “Don’t worry,
Sleep it off, close those eyes”
But I found the past ain’t in a hurry
To make its way off my mind

‘Cause lately it seems
I can’t forget
Sometimes it’s so hard to breathe
Won’t you bring me an angel
Call one quick
Make me a miracle
I could use it
Bring me an angel
Bring me an angel
Won’t you bring me an angel
Could you bring me an angel

 

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

 

This message today was beautiful.  Our Lady, forty-four years, She’s been coaching and training and practicing with you for this moment and what is coming down the road to us.

 

Is it going to be in a month? Another year? Or two years?

 

Our Lady does not want to leave because these are Her last apparitions.

 

She preceded Jesus two-thousand years ago and now, She is preceding Jesus. All of these messages is to call eight billion people who [could be here] to come to conversion.

 

Not everyone is going to, but She is here, “because my Son is coming.”

 

Soon?  A century?  Three more centuries?

 

But I’m telling you, this is the Woman to crush the dragon.

 

Listen to this broadcast more than one time. It will fill, it will talk to you a second time, even a third time.

 

Help this mission. Pray for it.  We’ve got a lot of things on our back and we need your help.

 

I wish you Our Lady. We love you. Goodnight.

    That was such a beautiful story!! It has encouraged me to remember to put God first!!

    I can s.o appreciate all these guiding thoughts, words and actions of our Friend of Medjugorje! Our Queen of Peace Prayer Cenacle meets every Saturday morning after Holy Mass. Despite thunder storm weather, falling rain, Mass was well attended and our prayer group was well attended. My personal drive normally 20 minutes was a slow, careful 35 minute drive getting me to the church just minutes before the start of Mass. As I shared our Lady,s message before starting our Rosary, I
    said we are so blessed to be a part of this Prayer Cenacle because the 2 ladies who started this group on January 31, 2009 obeyed Our Lady’s instructions to start prayer groups. In my own parish our weekly gathering in the Adoration Chapel on Sunday afternoon to pray the Patriotic Rosary is so small but so faithful. We are just a “drop in the bucket” of humanity to pray for our nation. It does seem daunting when we see all Our Lady has done in these hundreds of years coming to Earth. Thank you Caritas for your faithfulness!

    I finally got to reading this transcript tonight, although I received Our Lady’s message over 5 days ago. Thank you for promptly posting it on the 25th of each month. 🙂
    I agree… the message was very, very special. The Queen of Heaven and earth, speaking directly, it seems, to each of us.
    Wow, what a privilege! – knowing she appreciates everything we are doing, and then blessing us further by acknowledging it to us. This is truly a most amazing time to be alive!
