Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

Now, Trees and I have to record these daily meditations a few weeks in advance because of all the platforms on which we post them.

But something very significant took place on September 19th,

2004, that we want to share with you

because the Vatican, through the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith,

wrote this,

The time has come to conclude

a long and complex history

that has surrounded the spiritual phenomena of Medjugoria.

And on that day, the Vatican put out a new statement on Medjugoria.

So to understand the church's current position on Medjugoria, you need to know two things. First, that in the spring

of 2004, the Vatican came out with new rules for private revelations and apparitions.

Then on September 19th, they applied those new rules to Medjugoria, stating that nothing stands in the way of people appreciating the pastoral value of Medjugoria, and nothing stands in the way of promoting the spread of

Medjugoria. And they actually invited people to do so. So after 43 years, this is a very significant

development.

And I can hear the echo of Pope John Paul the second's voice when he said,

Medjugoria is the continuation of Fatima.

It is the completion of Fatima.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallow it be your name.

Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
