With many thousands of pilgrims present, Our Lady uncharacteristically gives a special long message.
The sunset over Cross Mountain, as seen from Apparitoin Mountain, tonight, August 28, 2009.
Temperatures were extremely hot in Medjugorje today, but even so, there were those who climbed the mountains during the heat of the day, willing to offer this sacrifice to Our Lady for Her intentions as well as their own. Early evening dark clouds floated toward Medjugorje eventually covering the village making the sky overcast for the rest of the night, so there were no stars seen above as many thousands of pilgrims gathered at the Blue Cross for Our Lady’s apparition tonight to Ivan. Many were thankful that the clouds did not bring rain, while others would have been thankful for a cool sprinkle of rain on this hot sultry evening.
The summer crowds are still here in Medjugorje. The areas all around the Blue Cross were packed with pilgrims and they continued to arrive up until just moments before Our Lady appeared, causing confusion and disruption with their flashlights and talking as they tried to find even the smallest open space to settle down in. Despite the inconveniences of being shoulder to shoulder in such a large crowd, in the darkness, sitting on uncomfortable stones and the dusty ground, on a hot summer night in Medjugorje, the realization hits suddenly that all these people are here for a single purpose, to be with Our Lady—out of love for Her, wanting conversion or a grace for a loved one or an answer to prayer—but all have come tonight to be with Our Lady. To Our Lady the large numbers of pilgrims bring great joy and typically, just as She came tonight, Our Lady demonstrates Her joy in the apparitions when She appears to Ivan on Apparition Mountain. Though Our Lady’s apparition tonight was shorter than normal, being just over five minutes, the length and depth of Our Lady’s message given tonight to Ivan was a surprise. Following is Ivan’s description of tonight’s apparition.
“Tonight, most important from the meeting with Our Lady is that Our Lady came joyful and happy and, at the beginning, as always, greeted all of us with Her motherly greeting, “Praised be Jesus, my dear children, my little children.” Then, with Her hands extended for a while, She prayed over us here and then She prayed for the sick present. She then blessed us all with Her motherly blessing and then blessed all the articles you brought for blessing. Afterwards She said:
Then I prayed an Our Father and a Glory Be with Our Lady. I then recommended all of you, your needs, your intentions and your families and especially the sick. Then Our Lady left, in prayer, in an illuminated Sign of the Cross with a greeting: “Go in peace, my dear children.”
The Cross on top of Cross Mountain was illuminated tonight, not by a supernatural light, but because as September approaches, the village lights up the cross in anticipation of the coming feast of the Triumph of the Cross on September 14th.
An hour before the apparition of Our Lady at the Blue Cross, tonight, August 28, 2009. Pilgrims arrived many hours before the apparition to pray and prepare for Our Lady’s coming.

It is such a great blessing to listen to this!!! Thanks a lot and may God let us comprehend the messages given through Our Lady in Medjugorje. May our hearts be open by this witness and spread the scent of Our Lady as far as we can with the power of the Holy Spirit and even walk over the water to achieve it, if it is God´s will. Thanks a lot!!!
BEFORE THE COMMING OF JESUS GOD SEND MOSES TO BRING THE PEOPLE OF ISREAL FROM THE LAND OF SORROW TO THE PROMISED LAND OF JOY. NOW WITH THE COMMING OF JESUS ON EARTH HE HAS GIVEN US HIS MOTHER TO BRING OUR LIVES OUT OF SORROWN TO JOY WHICH TILL TODAY OUR MOTHER KEEPS REMINDING US TO DO WHAT HER SON NEEDS FROM US TO SEE JOY ON EARTH
The love of the Mother of God for her children on earth is a great gift to all of us. I hope and pray her presence continues to shower many graces of heaven on us so that someday we all can be with her in heaven our true home. And I hope and wish many people will be converted to Jesus Christ for their eternal salvation.
The messege is enlightening , I just pray for our country and all the people on earth for the conversation that Mama Mary waanted.
thanks a lot for all those beautiful messages and photos. thanks to you all even so far from our lady we are able to have all those beautiful words from our lady. i wish to visit Medjugorje one day accompanied by my life partner Jeffrey and my family too. Thanks again may our Lady belss all of us. thanks mother, love u a lot.
Your website is truly a gift from God and I look forward to reading daily all the news and messages from Our Lady of Medjugorje. I also pray and look forward to the day that I can visit and be present when Our Lady appears and to receive Her special blessing.
In the modern world, everyone is always looking for some “new answer.” Love the Lord God with all your heart, and love your neighbor as yourself, is ALWAYS the answer. We seem to have such a hard time doing this, and yet paradoxically it is the only way to true peace and joy. I give great thanks to the Blessed Mother for her continued patience with our weaknesses.
Dear Beloved,Thank you for the beautiful photos and message of Our Lady. It just leaves me with questions, however, when She asks for works instead of just words. It makes me wonder what it is She really wants or what can I do. I will continue to pray to the Holy Spirit. I do want to do what She wants with all my soul. I pray that She will make it known to me soon
I have been to this holy place many times, each leaves me with a touch of heaven … Our Beautiful Mother, is indeed, so loving … “If my children only knew how much I loved them.” – Words not only understood, but felt deep within our soul … Praise be Jesus! Thank you for being workers in the harvest field! Love, Light and Mir! Mare
Thank you. The lead-in to Our Lady’s message was so beautifully written that before I read the “message”, I bowed my head and thanked God for this this “message”, this AWESOME GRACE, expressing my sorrow at how poorly I am still living “her messages”. Thank you for your sacrifices and prayers. Christ’s Peace, Kathy

Thank you very much for the beautiful pictures and for the messages. I live in the Amazonian region, Brazil, and dream to go Medjugorje with my son. I pray for that Our Lady helps me to go. Blessings and prayers.
Your site, up to the minute with Medjugorje news, is a gift-if the Lord himself walked the earth today He probably would use the Internet to spread his Gospel.The Gospa is talking to us in modern day speak but with a message as old as time -pray and love God and one another. We have no excuse for not logging on and doing what is right. Do keep up this great work.
THANKS FOR ALL THE PRAYERS WE ASK FOR THE SICKS,CONVERSION ,WISDOM,TO HAVE A JOB ,TO KEEP A JOB,TO GIVE MERCY.MERCY TO THE POOR.COMPASSION LIGHT OF THE LORD AND BLESSED MOTHER QUEEN OF PEACE BE WITH ALL OF US ALWAYS AND WITH ALL OF YOU.. FOR THE MOMENTS WE LIVE AND APPRECIATE LIKE IF WE WERE IN LIVE IN THE HR EARTH…MY LOVE FOR EVERY ONE,LOVE OF MARY WE ARE IN MERCY TIME . PLEASE PRAY FOR MY FAMILY,SPECIALLY MY SON DIABETIC,ALL MY LITTLE KIDS AROUND US,ALL THE PRIESTS AND NUNS,SPEC.SICKS
I have only recently discovered your amazing Medjugorje website.This is such a wonderful blessing for me because I have now been reawakened from my long dark slummber concerning Our Lady’s call from this blessed place. Even though I had been to Mejugorje many years ago, I had lost my love and zeal for what was happening there. With recent negativity towards the authenticity of the supernatural origins of the apparitions, I was even beginning to doubt myself. But Thank God, this is no more!

Your website, the work you do, is a gift from God, that continues to spread throughout the world. I hope to return to Medjugorje soon as my ’98 experience was truly miraculous. Did you notice the ring around the sun in the first photo? Was it a sign that we are all united in the Son’s salvation and mercy, if we open our hearts to him?! There are so many signs and miracles in Medjugorje.

Thank you for posting these beautiful photos in such a timely manner. My soul is blessed by your site. Knowing that the Caritas community is close to all of the events of Medjugorje on a daily basis gives me great joy, but being able to receive instant communication via the site make me feel like I am there. I love Our Lady. I was in Medjugorje in 1990 and then again in 1997. This past summer we were blessed to be present in the field with Marija in Alabama over the July 4th Weekend. Thanks

As stated in her apparition we must DO!, not just believe, we must stand as ambassadors of Christ. WE must do the will of the Father amongst a hostile world that HATES US. As Christians we are being led into battle for ourselves, our loved ones, and our Faith! Stand firm, stay the course, know THAT GOD IS FOR US–WHO CAN PREVAIL OVER US??!! GET BACK INTO GOD’S WORD AND SEE HOW HE HAS SUPPORTED HIS PEOPLE BEFORE and understand he will be with us in this fight too, have no fear–be brave,steadfast

The message is the answer to my prayer, and very encourging.
We are truly fortunate that the Blessed Mother of God is guiding us in these troubled times. I thank the Holy Mother for her many graces to my family and for helping us through Her Son Jesus Christ our Lord. She has helped me to help others in need. I have prayed for Her guidance & have received it. Thank you Caritas for your dedicated work. You are doing so much good in this world.

thank you holy mother for giving my daughter and i such a blessed welcome on our pilgrimage on the feast day of corpus christi this summer , and giving me your special blessing by taken part ? in the special mass in st james church , this was amazing for my whole family to represent my parish of st andrews and scotland , this was my return visit to you after 15 years ? i have know words to describe how wonderfull you are , praise jesus
Our Blessed Mother reminds me personally to put into action my faith. As my heart sometimes experiences luke-warm feelings towards my neighbors, our Mother is gently calling me back and reminding me that she is with us in prayer. She always points me back to Her Son, our Lord Jesus who is living with us and illuminating our hearts with His light. Therefore, I believe that it is my responsibility to reflect and be that same light to others in a dark world.
i thank you all for the most beautiful work you are sending to us ,to update as on what is going on their.Our lady needs our hearts not our words,lets continue to pray for each other.i thankyou caritas ,keep it on.
A friend told me about Medjugorje. I was amazed how devoted to the Blessed Mother I am and never heard of this place. After reading and hearing Her message I feel my part is coming in this plan to spread Her message. I am planing a trip here in the near future. I am going not expecting any great signs or revelations as I already know that we need to Pray hard to avoid the possible evils that could take control of the Earth. Maybe I am able to help in some way. I don’t know I just follow my Lord!

I in a special way thank Mother Mary for the good she has done for me & that she may keep me in faith & stay with me ever for guidance & support. I really pray so hard that Mother Mary helps me become her sign to the living world and most especially to the non believers to whom she is to deliver today. I also pray that she grants us all our petitions that we delivered to her. I also thank the Caritas Crew for updating us daily Medjugorje is really a place that everyone would wish for. Thanks
Simply put….Beautiful! Thank you Caritas for your great works of love and sharing to all of us. God Love U, Barbara
Thank-you for building and maintaining this wonderful web site with Our Lady’s messages for the world … it’s an appeal for all of us to help Her spread the messages, and web site is serving that need as well; i.e., the live pictures, the crowds of people,etc. It is soooo helpful to have a thoughtful website dedicated to Our Lady of Peace in Medjugorje. It truly allows people that cannot get there physically, to experience some of the joy through the same sights … we are all grateful!!
