The February 25, 1991 message from our Lord through Mary at Medjegorje: Dear Children, Today, I invite you to decide for God, because distance from God is the fruit of the lack of peace in your heart. God is only peace. Therefore, approach Him through your personal prayer and then live peace in your hearts. In this way, peace will flow from your hearts like a river into the whole world. Do not speak about peace, but make peace. I am blessing each of you, and each good decision of yours. Thank you for having responded to my call. Messages addressed to the whole world are given on the 25th of each month. An information network of volunteers has been set up to help spread information. To hear the most recent monthly message call one of the following phone numbers: (ALABAMA)(205)-MOM-MARY (CALIFORNIA)(415)-321-MARY (OHIO)(614)-283-6338 (NY)(516)-887-MARY A brief background: Mary has been appearing daily to 6 young people, by name Mirjana, Marija, Ivan, Ivanka, Vicka and Jacov, in Medjegorje, Yugoslavia since June 24, 1981. Their ages ranged from 10 to 17 years old. The apparitions last from a few minutes to a half hour. Mary talks to them, and they to her, in conversation. Mary teaches and instructs them to pray and helps the young people to grow in holiness and love of God. The visionaries ask questions for themselves and for visitors. The apparitions still continue to this day, but Mary has said they will not continue forever. The visits have a definite purpose to teach the world what we need to find the path back to Jesus, God. Mary calls us to pray, fast, convert our hearts, and accept God to live in our heart and to live this peace in our heart and love others with the love God gives us. She has said she is here to help us to do this. Apparitions and signs are given by God because so many in the world do not believe. Mankind is living in a time of great danger to itself, and the need for the whole world to convert is most pressing. The world needs to convert to be saved from destruction. This is God's great Plan, to bring about the conversion of the world to love. Love of God and love of each other. Your Father will create Love. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: I highly recommend a book that contain the actual transcription of the messages: Above all about Medjegorje, it is by far better to read Mary's words, the messages themselves, than any other book about Medjegorje. After the Bible, I count this book the most important I have ever read. "Words from Heaven" c1990 Saint James Publishing, P.O. Box 380244 Birmingham Alabama 35238-0244 -------- The other book contains interviews with the visionaries themselves, Mirjana, Marija, Ivan, Ivanka, Vicka and Jacov. They describe, in their own words, how they best understand the meaning of the messages. A powerful book. "Queen of the Cosmos" c1990 Jan Connell, Paraclete Press, Orleans Massachusetts.
