Međugorje

Medjugorje (“between the hills”) has become well known in Bosnia-Hercegovina, and the world, because of six young people who claim to have seen visions of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Beginning on June 24, 1981, the Blessed Mother appeared to, and later told the visionaries, God sent her to our world to help us convert our hearts and lives back to Him. Our Lady’s call is one of Peace, Love, Faith, Conversion, Prayer, and Fasting. We are each challenged to answer Our Lady’s call to change our lives, and hearts back to God. The following links to 100+ documents of information, interviews, and testimonies provide a well rounded, and accurate account and perspective of one of the greatest events in modern history.
