April 25, 2013 Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje: “Dear children! Pray, pray; keep praying until your heart opens in faith as a flower opens to the warm rays of the sun. This is a time of grace which God gives you through my presence, but you are far from my heart; therefore, I call you to personal conversion and to family prayer. May Sacred Scripture always be an incentive for you. I bless you all with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
