Father Gabriel Amorth, Chief Exorcist of the Vatican writes: One day a colleague of mine heard the devil say during an exorcism,  "Every Hail Mary is like a blow on my head. If Christians knew how powerful the Rosary was, it would be my end." The secret that makes this prayer so effective is that the Rosary is  both prayer and meditation. It is addressed to the Father, to the Blessed Virgin, and to the Holy Trinity, and is a meditation centered on Christ. I write in addition to the above: Please enunciate each word of the Rosary clearly and distinctly. Do not trample on the heels of the words of anyone with your words. Do not speak over the leader if you are following or the respondent if you are leading the Rosary. Remember that they also are having a conversation with Mary Our Mother and it is not polite to speak when someone else is speaking. 

Dear friends, I just wanted to reflect for a minute, as you all know, today is Good Friday or as some call it Great Friday, today we commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus. The day of the most severe suffering of our Savior. He undertook all of this for our salvation. Here in Medjugorje and in this region we try to commemorate this day in strict fasting on bread and water. As usual, the parish climbs the Cross Mountain on Fridays at 2 pm but today, the program was altered a bit. Organized climbing for the Germans took place at 7:30, for the English speaking at 8:30 and for the Italians at 9:30 and at 11:00 the Croatians and others. I went up at 11 as well. The group was quite large, if I had to guess I would say 7000 participants. Fr. Stijepan Martinovic conducted the prayer of the Was of the Cross, Fr. Danko Perutina and Brother Josip Katalinic helped. The boys from the Merciful Father community did a good job carrying the big speakers up. 

Dear Friends, as you all know, today is the begining of Jesus's passion, we celebrate this day as Palm Sunday. Here in Medjugorje we have a tradition to bring the olive and palm branches and other flowers for the blessing at the 11 o'clock mass. This usualy takes place at the round about where the foundation of the old church is and then the procession and guides the faithful towards the church of St. James where the singing of the passion of Jesus is conducted. The blessing and the procession was conducted by Fr. Tomislav Pervan and Fr. Vjeko Milićević, Fr. Tomislav was the main celebrant at mass. I've taken a few photos today, I hope they transferr a bit of Medjugorje to your homes. GOD BLESS.

Dear children, God's love is in my words. My children, that is the love which desires to turn you to justice and truth. That is the love which desires to save you from delusion. And what about you, my children? Your hearts remain closed; they are hard and do not respond to my calls. They are insincere. With a motherly love I am praying for you, because I desire for all of you to resurrect in my Son. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I've been quite busy over the past few days so I published very little news. I have a great group of people from the USA staying with me and my family. Being their guide and their pain the neck It is quite exhausting. Anyhow, things are eased by the tree little assistants I have as the members of the group, Damian,  the are the best assistants I've every head. They help me with their smiles, prayers, leading of the prayer program for the group and all the other little things they do. I hope you understand why I am sharing this with you all, I just wanted to tell you how good life is and it is so much easier having these little ones around. GOD BLESS.  p.s. I don't have a photo of Damian yet, but it will be posted shortly. :-)

Mirjana's Annual Apparition. 

Several thousand pilgrims gathered in prayer of the Rosary at the 'Blue Cross'.
Dear children! Today I call you to look into your hearts sincerely and for a long time. What will you see in them? Where is my Son in them and where is the desire to follow me to Him? My children, may this time of renunciation be a time when you will ask yourself: 'What does my God desire of me personally? What am I to do?' Pray, fast and have a heart full of mercy. Do not forget your shepherds. Pray that they may not get lost, that they may remain in my Son so as to be good shepherds to their flock.

Our Lady looked at all those present and added: Again I say to you, if you knew how much I love you, you would cry with happines. Thank you.

Dear Children,

I am here among you.
I am looking into your wounded and restless hearts. You have become lost, my children. Your wounds from sin are becoming greater and are distancing you all the more from the real truth. You are seeking hope and consolation in the wrong places, while I am offering to you sincere devotion which is nurtured by love, sacrifice and truth. I am giving you my son.
