MESSAGE FROM THE VIRGIN MARY IN MEDJUGORJE ON
FEBRUARY 25, 2010
"Dear
children! In this time of grace, when nature also prepares to give the most
beautiful colors of the year, I call you, little children, to open your hearts
to God the Creator for Him to transform and mould you in His image, so that all
the good which has fallen asleep in your hearts may awaken to a new life and a
longing towards eternity. Thank you for having responded to my call."
