Prayer program in Medjugorje through Easter three days and on Easter

The opportunity for confession during the Easter Triduum is from 4 p.m. On these days, all priests participate in the evening prayer program, so when the Holy Mass or rites begin, there is no more confession. Therefore, we ask the faithful to, if possible, confess before the Easter Triduum.

Dear children, by the merciful love of God, I am with you. That is why, as a mother, I am calling you to believe in love -- the love that is union with my Son. With love you help others to open their hearts to come to know my Son and to come to love Him. My children, love makes it for my Son to illuminate your hearts with His grace,  to grow in you and to give you peace. My children,  if you live love, if you live my Son, you will have peace and you will be happy.  In love is victory. Thank you.
