Marija returned to Medjugorje after her time in the United States and a month and a half rest in Italy. It was Holy Saturday, March 25, 1989, and she immediately had an apparition in the choir loft of St. James Church. Our Lady said:
“…I am calling you to a complete surrender to God. I am calling you to great joy and peace which only God can give…I call you, little children, to listen to me and to live the messages which I am giving you…â€
