The Messages of Medjugorje: 1988

(provided by Dan Doyle)
January 25, 1988

Dear children!

Today, again I am calling you to complete conversion, which is difficult for those who have not chosen God. I am inviting you, dear children, to convert fully to God. God can give you everything that you seek from Him. But you seek God only when sicknesses, problems, and difficulties come to you and you think that God is far from you and is not listening and does not hear your prayers. No, dear children, that is not the truth. When you are far from God, you cannot receive graces because you do not seek them with a firm faith. Day by day, I am praying for you and I want to draw you evermore near to God, but I cannot if you don't want it. Therefore, dear children, put your life in God's hands. I bless you all.

Thank you for responding to my call.


February 25, 1988

Dear children!

Today again I am calling you to prayer and complete surrender to God. You know that I love you and am coming here out of love so I could show you the path of peace and salvation for your souls. I want you to obey me and not permit satan to seduce you. Dear children, satan is very strong and therefore I ask you to dedicate your prayers to me so that those who are under his influence may be saved. Give witness by your life; sacrifice your life for the salvation of the world. I am with you and am grateful to you, but in heaven you shall receive the Father's reward, which He has promised to you. Therefore, dear children, do not be afraid. If you pray satan cannot injure you even a little, because you are God's children and He is watching over you. Pray and let the rosary always be in your hands as a sign to satan that you belong to me.

Thank you for responding to my call.


March 25, 1988

Dear children!

Today, also, I am inviting you to complete surrender to God. Dear children, you are not conscious of how God loves you with such a great love, because He permits me to be with you so I can instruct you and help you to find the way of peace. This way, however, you cannot discover if you do not pray. Therefore, dear children, forsake everything and consecrate your time to God and then God will bestow gifts upon you and bless you. Little children, do not forget your life is fleeting like a spring flower, which today is wondrously beautiful and tomorrow has vanished. Therefore, pray in such a way that your prayer, your surrender to God, may become like a road sign. That way your witness will not only have value for yourself, but for all eternity.

Thank you for having responded to my call.


April 25, 1988

Dear children!

God wants to make you holy. Therefore, through me He is inviting you to complete surrender. Let Holy Mass be your life. Understand that church is God's palace, the place in which I gather you and want to show you the way to God. Come and pray. Neither look at others nor slander them, but rather, let your life be a testimony on the way of holiness. Churches deserve respect and are set apart as holy because God who became man dwells in them day and night. Therefore, little children, believe and pray that the Father increase your faith, and then ask for whatever you need. I am with you and I am rejoicing because of your conversion and I am protecting you with my motherly mantle.

Thank you for having responded to my call.


May 25, 1988

Dear children!

I am inviting you to a complete surrender to God. Pray, little children, that satan may not carry you about like branches in the wind. Be strong in God. I desire that through you the whole world may get to know the God of joy. By your life bear witness for God's joy. Do not be anxious or worried. God Himself will help you and show you the way. I desire that you love all men with my love. Only in that way can love reign over the world. Little children, you are mine. I love you and I want you to surrender to me so that I can lead you to God. Never cease praying so that satan cannot take advantage of you. Pray for the knowledge that you are mine. I bless you with blessings of joy.

Thank you for responding to my call.


June 25, 1988

Dear children!

Today I am calling you to that love that is loyal and pleasing to God. Little children, love bears everything bitter and difficult for the sake of Jesus, who is love. Therefore, dear children, pray that God comes to your aid, not however according to your desires, but according to His. Surrender yourselves to God so that He may heal you, console you, and forgive everything inside of you that is a hindrance on the way of love. In the way, God can move your life and you will grow in love. Dear children, glorify God with a hymn of love so that God's love may be able to grow in you day by day to its fullness.

Thank you for having responded to my call.


July 25, 1988

Dear children!

Today I am calling you to complete surrender to God. Everything you do and everything you possess give over to God so that He can take control in your life as the king of all that you possess. That way, through me, God can lead you into the depths of the spiritual life. Little children, do not be afraid because I am with you, even if you think there is no way out and that satan is in control. I am bringing peace to you. I am your mother and the Queen of Peace. I am blessing you with the blessing of joy so that for you God may be everything in your life.

Thank you for having responded to my call.


August 25, 1988

Dear children!

Today I invite you all to rejoice in the life that God gives you. Little children, rejoice in God, the Creator, because He has created you so wonderfully. Pray that your life many be full of joy and thanksgiving, which flows out of your heart like a river of joy. Little children, give thanks unceasingly for all that you possess and for each little gift that God has given you so that a joyful blessing always comes down from God upon your life.

Thank you for having responded to my call.


September 25, 1988

Dear children!

Today I am inviting all of you without exception to the way of holiness in your life. God gave you the grace and the gift of holiness. Pray that you may comprehend it more and more, and in such a way you will be able by your life to be a witness for God. Dear children, I am blessing you and I intercede for you to God, so that your witness may be a complete one and a joy for God.

Thank you for having responded to my call.


October 25, 1988

Dear children!

My invitation that you live the messages that I am giving you is a daily one. Especially, little children, because I want to draw you closer to the Heart of Jesus. Therefore, little children, I am inviting you today to the prayer of consecration to Jesus, my dear Son, so that each of your hearts may be His. And then, I am inviting you to consecration of my Immaculate Heart. I want you to consecrate yourselves as persons, as families, and as parishes, so that all belongs to God through my hands. Therefore, dear little children, pray that you may comprehend the greatness of this message that I am giving you. I do not want anything for myself, rather, all for the salvation of your souls. Satan is strong and therefore, you, little children, by constant prayer, press tight against my motherly heart.

Thank you for having responded to my call.


November 25, 1988

Dear children!

I am inviting you to prayer so that in prayer you have an encounter with God. God is offering and giving Himself to you. But He seeks from you that you answer His call in your freedom. Therefore, little children, set a time during the day when you can pray in peace and in humility and meet with God the Creator. I am with you and I intercede with God for you. So be on watch that every encounter in prayer be a joyful meeting with God.

Thank you for having responded to my call.


December 25, 1988

Dear children!

I am inviting you to peace. Live peace in your heart and in your surrounding so that all men may recognize the peace, which does not come from you but from God. Little children, today is a great day. Rejoice with me. Celebrate the birth of Jesus with my peace, the peace with which I come as your mother, the Queen of Peace. Today, I am giving you my special blessing. Bring it to every creature so that each one may have peace.

Thank you for having responded to my call.
