Q: What does Medjugorje mean in the world today? Vicka: Medjugorje means a lot, for sure. I mean not Medjugorje as a place, but Medjugorje as a message certainly means a lot. It is really something that one cannot imagine; I mean that Our Lady’s message has spread all over the world, to its farthest corner. Judging by the messages I receive, by the letters from all over the world, people are delighted. This has become an oasis of peace;... Read more

By Christine Watkins NOTICING GOD’S SIGNS Signs are tricky. As a spiritual director and licensed clinical social worker of many years, I have journeyed with people who have followed signs from God, as sure and trustworthy as the Risen Jesus on the road to Emmaus, and I have tried to deter people, as they cling to signs of their own making, or worse, of the devil’s design. True signs from heaven come to warn, deter, console, enlighten, encourage, confirm, instruct,... Read more

December 25, 2010 IN THE END MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH Mother Adela, SCTJM Foundress When we speak of a triumph we are also referring to a battle. Triumph signifies the winning of a battle. The Blessed Virgin in Fatima speaks about the battle we are facing in these times, which includes the general loss of faith, the loss of many souls, wars, and destruction. But the worst war is the loss of faith, as Our Lord says:  “Do not... Read more

What could be so important that Heaven would send the Mother of Jesus to earth every day for an astonishing period of more than 30 years? In the early 1990’s, the clash of politics and religion disintegrated the Federal... Read more

By Stephen Ryan   Is Medjugorje up next for the Vatican? Yesterday,  Pope Francis again made world wide headlines by revealing an important  document  known as an “apostolic exhortation”. Two years in the making, the apostolic exhortation, in this case, had much to do with hot button cultural issues like gay marriage and the divorced and remarried. The duties of explaining to the world the carefully nuanced wording of the complex document was handled by Cardinal Schonborn. Before the election... Read more

  What happens to us after we die? Is there a soul? Is there life hereafter, or is this materialistic reality the end? Throughout life, no matter what religious (or nonreligious) background one comes from, we all ask ourselves these big questions. We all ponder on the answers, especially when we lose loved ones. Is there an afterlife? Is there a soul that continues to live on after the body stops? Or is there nothing else afterward? Is this the... Read more

“Medjugorje is THE message of our time.”   By Davide A. Bianchini (excerpt from www.medjugorje-apologia.com)   Why is Medjugorje so important? Why not just believe in approved apparitions such as Fatima and Lourdes? Every time Our Lady has appeared throughout history, it has been to help guide man back to God from the errors of that particular period in history. This is a basic teaching of the Church on private revelations. Even the Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us of this... Read more

By Stephen K. Ryan I just completed a boat race to Bermuda.  The race started off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge just north of Annapolis, Md. and   I was fortunate enough to be part of Captain George Bauer’s crew on a forty-four foot sailboat.  But this is not a story about, storms, race competition,  tactics and weather  but rather this is a story  about a spiritual journey – one that I took with the Virgin Mary. It is a story about... Read more
