The Spirit of Medjugorje
Medjugorje Message March 25, 2024
"Dear children! In this time of grace, pray with me for the good to win in you and around you. In a special way, little children, pray united with Jesus on His Way of the Cross. Into your prayers put this humanity which wanders without God and without His love. Be prayer, be light, and be witnesses to all those whom you meet, little children, so that the merciful God may have mercy toward you. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Vicka on Our Lady's Mission in Dublin
By Fr. Ronan Murphy
In 1991, before entering seminary, I felt the
call to go to Medjugorje, the first of many such
visitations there, especially as a priest.
In 1992, whilst returning from the
International Cenacle of the Marian Movement
of Priests in San Marino, I was collecting
my luggage in Dublin Airport, Ireland. The
airport, I remember, was packed with people
especially with foreign students who had just
arrived in the country in order to spend the
summer months learning the English language.
I distinctly remember whilst waiting for my
luggage to come out, saying to Our Lady in
the silent recess of my heart, "Mother, are you
pleased with the Cenacle I have just made?" At
that moment, and the only way to describe it,
everyone in the airport disappeared before my very eyes.

And I found myself alone with a young woman in front
of me, smiling radiantly at me. The feeling I experienced
was one of peace. Just then I heard a sweet voice interiorly
which I believe was the voice of the Blessed Mother say, "My
Child, I am very happy with the Cenacle you have made
and all the graces I have obtained for you". Simultaneous
to the voice, I became aware of the identity of
the young woman being Vicka, the visionary
from Medjugorje, whom I had seen during
my first visit there in 1991. I spoke once
again to Our Lady interiorly, saying, "Mother
do you want me to speak to her?" And the
sweet voice once again replied, "No, this is
my confirmation to you, a confirmation of
Medjugorje and my Marian Movement of
Priests". At that, Vicka disappeared from
before me and all present in the airport
appeared once again, as if I came out of an
altered state and back to reality.
I thank Our Lady for gracing me with this
spiritual or mystical experience, confirming
me to the authenticity of Medjugorje and
the Marian Movement of Priests and with other such
experiences which have assisted me in my vocation to and
in the priesthood. Ad Jesus per Miriam.
Editor's note: When Fr. Murphy sent us his story, he added, "I
am a priest of the Camden Diocese, NJ., ordained May 13th, 2000,
on the feast of Our Lady of Fatima and Our Lady of the Blessed
Sacrament." He is originally from Dublin.
