Medjugorje, November 20, 2025
Dear Friends, praise be to Jesus and Mary!
1. On October 25th, 2025, the visionary, Marija, received the following monthly message:
“Dear children! The Most High in His goodness gave me to you to lead you on the way of peace. Many have responded and are praying, but there are many creatures who do not have peace and have not come to know the God of love. Therefore, little children, pray and love, create prayer groups to encourage each other to the good. I am with you and am praying for your conversion. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
(With ecclesiastical approval)

2. A wonderful communion of saints!
The Lord sometimes allows us to meet wonderful people who truly follow Him and radiate His light.
After years of absence, I saw Maureen again recently, and I cannot keep to myself the story she told me about what happened to her.
“My name is Maureen. I stayed in Medjugorje in 1997 at the Community of the Beatitudes. I was 23 years old and single. The doctors had diagnosed me with endometriosis and told me quite clearly that I would never be able to have children, especially since the endometriosis was very, very severe.”
On the day Vicka, the visionary, celebrated her birthday—she was 40 at the time—I went to celebrate at her home, having been invited along with the entire Community of the Beatitudes. How delighted I was to be able to spend some time with her! Her friends were there too, and she welcomed us all into her large living room. Then, to my great surprise, she suddenly crossed the room like an arrow, came over to me, and whispered a few words in my ear in Italian: “You will have many children!” Then she went to join her friends. A sister translated this surprising message for me. At the time, I thought I was going to have many spiritual children, because I was thinking more about dedicating myself to the Lord. But later, after returning to France, I got married and had five children—yes, five beautiful children, including twins, and all without any health problems. So I was cured of endometriosis; not all at once, however, but little by little, with each pregnancy. When I got married, aware of this disease, my husband and I had, of course, thought we would never have children. But the Lord surprised us greatly!
Vicka was right… How did she know that Maureen was destined for such great fertility and that she would become a happy mother? She will never say, but Vicka prays for the sick with great compassion, and one can easily guess that during her encounters with the Mother of God and in her fervent daily prayer, she received this knowledge of the heart. Even though Vicka no longer has the opportunity to meet the pilgrims, we know that her prayer continues in secret and that, in this field of death that the world has become (Don Dolindo Ruotolo, PS1), her prayer for us all still goes in the direction of life! Let us also pray for her and for the five other visionaries of Medjugorje!

3. Maureen doesn’t stop there…
“When I was in Medjugorje with the Community of the Beatitudes,” she said, “one morning it was my turn to cook. But there was a major unforeseen event, and I had to leave my stove to translate a talk into English for some American pilgrims. Given the unavoidable circumstances, we had no choice. Seeing my distress, Sister Emmanuel said something I will never forget: ‘Go ahead! The Lord will bless your obedience and he will take care of the meal himself.’” So there I was, translating while wondering how I was going to manage the meal, especially since we had to go to Mass after the conference. I knew we had some pasta in the cupboard, but what was that to make a meal? I then turned to the Blessed Virgin Mary and said to her in my heart: Listen, I have done God’s will. So you, who were such a wonderful mother, you who never let anyone go hungry, I leave you to take care of the meal! Sister told me I had nothing to worry about.
“When we returned from Mass, it was magnificent! The table was set, and there were large platters with vine leaves, rice, meat… and vegetables were heating on the stove. In short, everything was ready, with a delicious dessert as an added bonus. Without our knowledge, the neighbors had come to give us this gift, and everything was blessed! In conclusion, this lesson has stayed with me all my life: when we do our best to do God’s will, He provides for all our needs and even beyond.”
Thank you Maureen for your faith and trust! You remind us of this saying of Jesus that we too often tend to forget: “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Mt 6:33).

4. Ready for a quiz?
I propose a holy activity that should encourage us to encounter Jesus in his Word. It involves completing the Gospel passages quoted here. In this way, we can assess our level of listening and how we allow the voice of the Shepherd to resonate within us. In Medjugorje, Our Lady encourages us to talk among ourselves about the Word of God, to share what touches us, to ask questions, during meals for example, and I have noticed that this brings much joy to the participants. Weren’t the pilgrims on the road to Emmaus filled with longing when Jesus spoke to them from the Scriptures? (Luke 24:18-35).
Here are some sentences to complete:
“So in everything, do to others…?” (Matthew 7:12)
“The work of God is this…?” (John 6:29)
“This is to my Father’s glory, that…?” (John 15:8)
“I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth because you…?” (Matthew 11:25)
“Father, forgive them…?” (Luke 23:34)
“Father, into your hands…?” (Luke 23:46)
The good thief said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus said to him, “Truly I tell you…?” (Luke 23:42-43)
Jesus said to them, “If anyone wants to follow me, let him…?” (Mark 8:34-35)
“Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has…?” (John 6:54)
“Some children were brought to Jesus… but the disciples rebuked them. Then Jesus said…?” (Matthew 19:14)
A scribe asked Jesus, “Which is the most important commandment?” Jesus answered, “It is…?” (Mark 12:28-29)
“It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but…?” (Mark 2:17)
“Whoever wants to become great among you must…?” (Mark 10:43-44)
Complete the commandments that Jesus gives us in the Gospel of Luke. (Luke 6:26-31)
“But to you who are listening: Love…?
Do good to…?
Bless those who…?”
Pray for those who…?
To the one who takes your coat…?
Give to everyone…?
And if anyone takes what belongs to you…?
“Do to others…?”
Some will be eager to suggest other questions, and together we will grow in the knowledge of Christ, for the greater joy of his Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary!

5. On November 24, 2000, after leading the Stations of the Cross with the parish, Father Slavko Barbaric passed away on Mount Krizevac. The following day, the monthly message from the Our Lady moved us deeply:
“Dear children, rejoice with me, for your brother Slavko has been born into heaven, and he intercedes for you…” And we cried out: “Slavko is in heaven, Slavko is in heaven!”
On the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of his birth into Heaven, let us pray to him! He who loved to work so much, let us ask much of him! Did not Mary declare to us: “He intercedes for you!”? We are witnesses to so many graces from him: conversions, consolations, inner light, moral and physical healings…
Everyone is free to pray to him according to their heart.

6. Bringing a priest out of Purgatory?
As an act of mercy, have you considered having a Mass celebrated for the release of a priest from Purgatory? During the Jubilee Year (PS2), we can offer a deceased soul a plenary indulgence and release them from Purgatory! Priests suffer greatly in this place of purification. Before Mass, we can ask Mary to choose the priest she wishes to release from Purgatory. Once freed, this priest will be deeply committed to powerfully helping his fellow priests on earth, those who have embarked on paths of sin and spiritual death, so that they may return wholeheartedly to Christ and His Word. In this way, we can do immense good for the Church and the world! Share this initiative with your loved ones; it will multiply the graces for our priests!

Dearest Gospa, in this month of November, we do not forget our ultimate destiny, which is Heaven! Magnificent hope! Yes, the Heavenly Father created man for eternal happiness. You tell us: “You who know the love of my Son, you who follow Him, it is impossible for you to die. Life has won the victory, my Son is alive… What opens the gates of Paradise is love!” (Message of May 2, 2019)
Sister Emmanuel, Community of the Beatitudes
Translated from French

PS2. It’s not too late! Let’s make the most of this Jubilee Year, which ends on January 6! Let’s open the door of our hearts! The Church offers us three things:
1. To experience the sacraments, especially the Eucharist and Confession, to draw from the source of love and be reconciled with God, with ourselves, and with others.
2. To rediscover the meaning of pilgrimage: setting out on a journey and visiting a shrine.
3. To bear witness to hope through works of mercy and charity.
PS3. The revised edition of Make Friends with the Angels is now available to buy on Amazon and Google books. It features many more testimonies and insights into the Angels. It could be a great gift to buy someone for Christmas!
