Our Lady says in the first monthly message after the war came to Bosnia:
“…Only by prayer and fasting can war be stopped. Therefore, my dear little children, pray and by your life give witness that you are mine and that you belong to me, because satan wishes in these turbulent days to seduce as many souls as possible. Therefore, I invite you to decide for God and He will protect you and show you what you should do and which path to take…Medjugorje is a sign to all of you and a call to pray and live the days of grace that God is giving you…I am with you and your suffering is also mine…â€
satan would not easily let go of this land that God had chosen for the spiritual renewal of the whole world, through Our Lady and through Medjugorje.
