MESSAGE FROM THE VIRGIN MARY IN MEDJUGORJE ON JANUARY 25, 2010
“Dear children! May this time be a time of personal prayer for you, so that the seed of faith may grow in your hearts; and may it grow into a joyful witness to others. I am with you and I desire to inspire you all: grow and rejoice in the Lord Who has created you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
