The visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo had daily apparitions from June 24th 1981 to December 25th 1982.

The apparition lasted from  13:34 to 13:40.

''Dear children,
With a motherly love I am calling you to—full of strength, faith and trust—look towards my Son. Keep opening your hearts to Him and do not be afraid, because my Son is the Light of the world and in Him is peace and hope. That is why, anew, anew I am calling you to pray for those of my children who have not come to know the love of my Son. So that my Son, with His light of love and hope, may illuminate also their hearts; and you, my children, that He may strengthen and give you peace and hope. I am with you. Thank you.''

Participants from as many as 40 countries around the world are participating in the spiritual retreat in Medjugorje

"I have noticed faith and prayer in people here, but faith is something that is not ours. Faith comes from God. We get faith from revelation. God reveals Himself and removes that veil to show us who He is, where He is, and how He lives. We know God, only because he wanted to reveal himself and become one of us", said Msgr. Cavalli added, emphasizing that "people who come here, motivated solely by faith, want to seek God through the Scriptures." (PHOTO)

''Thank you all. Thank you for coming. Thanks to the choir for preparing this celebration. Thank you, Father Provincial, Father Parish Priest… to all those who prepared this, thank you very much, but above all thank you the Lord and the Virgin Mary who wanted to send me here through the Holy Father.

An interview with the Apostolic Visitor with a special role for the parish of Medjugorje Msgr. Aldo Cavalli

I thank the Lord and the Virgin Mary, and the Holy Father who have appointed me here. I have never been here, but many people from my country and from my parish came here. And upon their return, I always noticed something very deep: they returned full of good will, filled with faith, filled with the desire to live good, to receive the Lord, filled with the good for Our Lady, with the desire to pray the rosary. I noticed many positive things. But I have never been here in person. So when the Pope appointed me, at the age of 75, I was pleased. I was glad to come here. I came gladly, very gladly.

Fr. Massimo Fusarelli: I am making a pilgrimage here to invoke a living faith in Jesus Christ

In this place, for many years now, many people have seen the flame of faith rekindle as they listen to the word of God and celebrate the sacraments, especially those of Reconciliation and the Eucharist. And it is here that freedom opens up to discover the gift of prayer, especially through silence and adoration. And this is why so many have been able to taste the gift of reconciliation and peace in this place.
