Five apparitions of the Holy Virgin Mary
The Re-consecration of the United States of America
At the Moment of Her apparition July 4, 2013
H
ow few understand that we are entering a very dark and dangerous moment for the nation of the
United States of America. But it is Our Lady who states:
July 25, 1990
“Dear children, today I invite you to peace. I have come here as the Queen of Peace…”
We cannot defeat what is heating up at a rapid momentum. We, in fact, are responsible for it by our sins.
Neither will one defeat evil by guns, for a people are not so much protected by their armaments as by their way
of life. We can only fight back by tears of repentance, frequent confession (minimum once a month), fasting and
prayer…and consecration. There is no other place more important to be than to attend and to be in Our Lady’s presence for five
apparitions in the Bedroom of Apparitions and the Field of Apparitions when the re-consecration will take place
with thousands of people from all over the nation and other nations as well.
No place
No where
More important to be than here
July 1-5, 2013
Consecration
July 4, 2013!
In hope that we will see you,
A Friend of Medjugorje
Marija was at Caritas for the Five Days of Prayer, July 1–5, 2009ad.
As Marija always does when she comes to Caritas, She asked Our Lady when and where the apparition would
be the following day. Our Lady shows by Her varying responses that She is not simply following Marija around
from place to place, but that She is actively involved in the events that are taking place in these apparitions at
Caritas. On July 2, the apparition was in the Bedroom and Our Lady responded to Marija’s question by saying
that She would appear during the next night’s prayer vigil for our nation’s birthday, in the Field at 10:30 p.m.
Earlier that day, before the apparition, A Friend of Medjugorje stated in a talk he gave to the crowd attending this special event that nations are made up of families, and the family is made up of individuals, so to
2
heal the nations, we must first heal families, which comes through the individual being healed. The consecration
of individual hearts was on the day our founder spoke (July 2, 2009). The consecration of our families was the
following day, both of which led up to the consecration of the nation on July 4th. The preparation for this consecration began with the Vigil (July 3). A Friend of Medjugorje said that we were shocked when the year before
(2008), Our Lady announced that She would appear at 10:00 p.m. on the Vigil. We were then equally surprised
this time (July 3, 2009), when She did not choose to appear at 10:00, but rather 10:30 p.m. By this Our Lady
showed that She is connected to the purpose of which we have gathered. She has come for our nation, not only
for our nation, but for all those around the world who wish to follow these steps in consecrating their own nation, their own beloved homeland, to Our Lady’s heart.
Marija then shared, “You know in one part, one region of Italy, was one beautiful thing. The president
of this region (the mayor), he decide to make consecration to Our Lady for all province. It was beautiful. Schools
closed. All were invited to go there for apparition. Most important center of this part—Our Lady of Sorrows shrine.
All bishops and priests were invited to go there. One priest make one special prayer of consecration for all region to
heart of Our Lady. And so this man invite me, who is the political head of this region. He said he like to do in this
way, when he decide which day. I go ask Our Lady and Our Lady say, “Yes, I go.” And so Our Lady said yes, so I
go. And this people go for Confession and Holy Mass like in Medjugorje: Rosary, moment of apparition, and after
Holy Mass. And so Our Lady appeared in this region, he read, he consecrated—this first person of this region (the
mayor)—he consecrated to heart of Our Lady all people, all things. And after Our Lady appeared and She said,
“You will never ever regret this consecration. Nor will your children ever regret this consecration, nor will your children’s children ever regret this consecration, this act of what you do,” Our Lady said. And so Our Lady prayed over
all people and She watched (looked at) all the people, many people…”
Marija shared this story to demonstrate how strongly Our Lady desires our consecrations, and to encourage us to prepare much in prayer before tomorrow night’s special vigil apparition.
These next months do not rest, do not stop, let your every action from the moment you wake to the moment you
go to sleep be spent in preparing for the most important event for our nation and world, not for this year, but for
our age and to have a future. What can you do?

gathered, “…I am here to help you!…” Since that moment on
November 24, 1988, countless numbers have come to this Holy Field
to pray, seek grace, and mend hearts. It is a place of the meeting of

are ever so grateful to our spiritual hosts that opened
their home to allow us to pray in the Bedroom of
Apparitions, to kneel in the Field of Apparitions, to
experience the Grotto and to feel at peace during Our
Blessed Mother’s presence. Thank you! Thank you!

The two sites of the Bedroom and Field of Apparitions, located at Caritas, have been graced by 167 apparitions of the Virgin Mary over
the past 25 years, though She has been with the founder’s family and the community at other locations bringing the total to 191 apparitions over the years. The 167 apparitions on the sacred ground of Caritas have occurred in 1988, 1989, 1994, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2004,
July/August 2005, November 2005, 2008, February 2009, July 2009, 2011 and 2012. This does not include the many times the community has been blessed to have Our Lady in their mission and homes in Medjugorje. The primary site of the apparitions has been in the
Bedroom of a consecrated “beloved home” with 134 apparitions in this room. The Field was consecrated to Our Lady for the conversion
of our nation. The two sites are connected in that the Bedroom represents the family, “the home,” and the Field represents our nation.
Nations cannot hope to heal without first healing the family home. In 2009, over 4,000 flowers were arranged in the Bedroom, representing the hearts of people from across the United States & around the world, to show their love and devotion to Our Lady in the last days
of Her apparitions to Marija at Caritas. Marija was inspired and some community members joined in to help her form a heart out of
4 roses on top of the Bed that would receive Our Lady.
S
ince 1988 these special events when Our Lady appears to Marija have often attracted tens of thousands of
pilgrims to the Bedroom and the Field of Apparitions. People of all classes become the same, on their knees,
shoulder to shoulder. The area around Caritas* is so open that crowds do not bother those who would normally be both-
ered. Rather, the outdoor environment puts you as one of those who followed Jesus in the crowds. A spiritual joy, consolation and an excitement you’ve never experienced before, will fill your heart. Countless souls have had their prayers answered
or been given a divine peace about their problems by
pilgrimaging to the Bedroom and Field of Apparitions.
July 7, 2012
In some small way I understand the feeling when Marija
speaks of feeling a little bit of Heaven when she is with
Our Lady and does not wish to depart from Her but
would rather join Her in Heaven. I also feel that way
toward Caritas that to return back to my home and the
fulfillment of my responsibilities is a penance I gladly
accept with joy for Her, but none the less bitter. Praise to
Jesus & Mary forever!

Thousands gathered here seeking peace and simplicity in their lives as
Marija and A Friend of Medjugorje spoke to people from every state
in the Union, July 1–5, 2009, when the Holy Virgin Mary appeared
to Marija. Marija loves coming to Caritas to be with the family that
she has become family with. Having witnessed what Our Lady has
done here in the Bedroom and the Field of Apparitions, has placed in
Marija’s heart a special love for the founder, community and the place
here at Caritas.

County road 43 in rural Alabama may be an unlikely path of
pilgrimage to many people, but we hear over and over again
by so many who have been to Caritas, when they turn onto
County 43 they feel like they are home.
“I want to thank you for a very wonderful, life-changing retreat
for the March 19-23, 2011 apparitions. As a religious Sister, I
felt Our Lady strengthening me in prayer with Her presence and
great joy.”
Sr. W. M., Grass Valley, California
July 8, 2012
Thank you Mother Mary for being with us, praying for us and
changing my husband and my life. Our experience in Alabama
humbled and brought us much closer to God. I was in tears the whole time I was there. Now we know our purpose in life.
We will pray pray pray as you requested Mother Mary for the salvation of all souls and I am planting seeds as fast as I can
with excitement to get everyone I know to do a pilgrimage to Our Lady Queen of Peace be in Alabama or Medjugorje. My
husband and I are now making plans to go to Medjugorje.

* Caritas of Birmingham is a mission dedicated to Our Lady Queen of Peace of Medjugorje and the messages She gives. It is located at the site of the apparitions and operated by the Community of Caritas, a community that in 1988 Our Lady asked to be founded. It is comprised of a group of people who have
joined together to be missionaries of what the Queen of Peace, the Virgin Mary, wants established in the world.

T
he Bedroom of Apparitions is the birthplace of Our Lady’s apparitions at Caritas. At the foot of the Bed,
adorned with flowers and petitions (see picture on page 4), Marija has knelt to receive Our Lady 134 times
since 1988. The Bedroom has been a special place to pray for the healing of families and is only open during Caritas’
annual Prayer Gatherings or special spiritual events. It will be open for you on scheduled days during July 1–5, 2013, for
you to pray there and bring Our Lady your needs for yourself, your
marriage, your family or friends, or for healing and to give gratitude. The Bedroom is an extraordinary, special place for the heart.
July, 2009
“The time I spent at Caritas from July 1-5, was an experience I will
never forget. The few minutes spent in the Bedroom of Apparitions
was a huge inspiration and a very touching experience...to think I was
just a few feet from where Our Lady had appeared to Marija the night
before! I felt a little bit of Heaven in my heart.

Marija Lunetti in ecstasy speaks to the Virgin Mary in the Field of
Apparitions, oblivious to those around her. This was the moment of
the reconsecration of the USA to Our Lady. All hearts silently were
pleading for our nations return to God at this moment.
June 14, 2004
“As I prayed my intentions in the Bedroom, every wrinkle of tenseness left my face as if it were washed with peace. As I gazed upon
the Crucifix from Medjugorje,* I felt something so special—Our
Lady’s Motherly love for Her Son, Her Child, Her Baby.”
July 3, 2012
A line of people on the front porch of the founders house listen to stories of the apparitions as they wait their turn to pray in the Bedroom
of Apparitions. Well over one hundred thousand people have visited
the Bedroom of Apparitions. Within these walls, the Holy Virgin
Mary has appeared physically to Marija Lunetti, seeing Her as we see
another person. Marija can speak to Her, touch Her, and hear Her
voice. Our Lady has appeared to her in this same way every day since
June 25, 1981. Our Lady came to the world as a Mother to heal a broken world, resulting from the family being broken. That is why Our
Lady chose the Bedroom, for it is where families are born. Our Lady
said She wants the “fruits of the family to be seen one day.”

Our Blessed Mother, looking out over the crowd with such
love was so beautiful, and praying over everyone for such a
long time was awesome, showing us how much She loves
us. What a wonderful grace to receive from the Mother of
Jesus. I hope with all my heart the people who were present know how truly blessed they are.
M.S., Eagle Lake, Texas
* The Crucifix in the Bedroom (pictured on page 4) originated in Medjugorje. It hung on the wall of Fr. Slavko’s office during the time the daily apparitions
were taking place there. The visionaries would come into the room and kneel before this Crucifix to receive Our Lady. This Crucifix was present in hundreds of apparitions in Medjugorje. In 1988, Fr. Slavko gave this Crucifix to the founder of Caritas as a gift. Profoundly moved by this, our founder brought
it to Marija and asked her to pray a prayer over it, that it would be used by Our Lady as a great instrument of conversion for Our Nation.
**“Well over 100,000”: Marija has visited 16 times. Many of these events have had well over 10,000 pilgrims attend. In 1999, the five days of prayer with Our Lady brought
6
40,000 pilgrims, some who stayed for the whole event, and others who were here for various amounts of days. Most all the visitors stand in line for several hours to enter
the Bedroom. In addition, the Bedroom has been open for many other spiritual events through Caritas’ 25 years of history since the first apparitions occurred there.
T
he Field of Apparitions was birthed from the Bedroom. In 1988, thousands began to find their way to
Alabama from all corners of this nation, longing to be in Our Lady’s presence. The apparitions began
in the Bedroom. All could not physically fit in the home where the Bedroom was located, yet the Field enveloped
all as a blanket bringing warmth and a feeling of home. As the thousands came, gathering around the home,
Our Lady one day said She would appear the next day outside near a pine tree. Many began to gather in the Field
who knew nothing of the family that knelt in prayer on the blanket next to them, but they became one under Our
Lady’s mantle. Our Lady chose Thanksgiving day, November 24, 1988, to appear for the first time to Marija in the
Field for all those gathered. She said from this spot, “I invite you to live my messages. I am ‘here’ to help you!
I will intercede for you to God for all your intentions.” For the visiting people, a visit to the Bedroom and the
Field of Apparitions is a rebirth for their spirits…a new dawn. Many testify they never experienced anything close
to what Our Lady has given in the Bedroom and Field anywhere else and that the grace is renewed, even by just
visiting the grounds Our Lady has appeared upon.
December 21, 1999
“I must say it was the most moving emotional experience of my
life…I cannot thank you enough for sending out your messages
encouraging me, and thousands of others, to come to one of the
most important events of my life. Thank you for inviting us into
your Field, your homes, and your lives. You have all touched me
in a very personal and profound way.”

Everyone faced the house on the days Our Lady appeared in
the Bedroom of Apparitions. Marija would ask Our Lady to
hear all the petitions and prayers from those in the Field and
Bedroom. Our Lady has always made it a point to bless all
those gathered in the Field.
I cannot express enough my deepest gratitude for this miraculous
time with Our Lady, Marija Lunetti and the entire Caritas community. My life - my heart is forever changed by this holy pilgrimage. Thank You, Community of Caritas! You have given us all
a great and glorious gift- the chance to be in the magnificent presence of the Mother of God and to consecrate ourselves
to her. My life is forever changed and I have decided for God- His will, His grace is sufficient for me from this time on.
Blessed be God- and blessed be the Mother of God: Mary, Most Holy- Our Lady- QUEEN OF PEACE.

“This March was the 3rd time I have been at Caritas while Marija visited. Each time I leave with something special. I
gain something that sustains me in difficult situations…I truly thank God daily for being so privileged to have this holy
place in my native land.”

SPECIAL STATEMENT
Medjugorje Status
December 1, 2011 A.D.
No attempt is intended to pre-empt the Church on the validity of the Medjugorje Apparitions. They are private revelation waiting the Church’s final judgment1. In the interim, these private revelations are allowed by, and for, the
faithful to have devotion to and to be spread legally by the Church. Devotion and the propagation of private revelations can be forbidden only if the private revelation is condemned because of anything it contains which contravenes
faith and morals according to AAS 58 (1966) 1186 Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Medjugorje has not been condemned nor found to have anything against faith or morals, therefore it is in the grace of the Church to be
followed by the faithful. By the rite of Baptism one is commissioned and given the authority to evangelize. “By Baptism they share in the priesthood of Christ, in his prophetic and royal mission.”2 One does not need approval to promote
or to have devotions to private revelations or to spread them when in conformity to AAS 58 (1966) 1186, as the call to evangelize is given when baptized. Caritas of Birmingham, the Community of Caritas and all associated with
it, realize and accept that the final authority regarding the Queen of Peace, Medjugorje and happenings related to the apparitions, rests with the Holy See in Rome. We at Caritas, willingly submit to that judgment. While having an
amiable relationship with the Diocese of Birmingham and a friendly relationship with its bishop, Caritas of Birmingham as a lay mission is not officially connected to the Diocese of Birmingham, Alabama, just as is the Knights of
Columbus. 3 The Diocese of Birmingham’s official position on Caritas is neutral and holds us as Catholics in good standing.
1. The Church does not have to approve the apparitions. The Church can do as She did with the apparitions of Rue du Bac in Paris and the Miraculous Medal. The Church never approved these apparitions. She gave way to the
people’s widespread acceptance of the Miraculous Medal and thereby the Apparitions to St. Catherine.
2. Catechism of the Catholic Church 2nd Edition.
3. The Knights of Columbus also are not officially under the Church, yet they are very Catholic. The Knights of Columbus was founded as a lay organization 129 years ago, with the basic Catholic beliefs. Each local council
appeals to the local Ordinary to be the Chaplain. The Knights of Columbus is still a lay organization, and operates with its own autonomy.

Having been there for two of the days (July 4th and 5th) I was
particularly touched by the fact that no ‘message’ was given
except to bless us. That spoke deeply to my heart since when you
are the most comfortable with someone you can be in silence
and listening. That simple communion is enough. That spoke to
me of a communion already established in the heart where no
word needed to be spoken because it was present in the heart. I
felt a sweet acknowledgment and appreciation from Her to us
and back again. Thank you Caritas for all that you do to make
these days possible. The unending water supply was so helpful
and of course just being there is such a blessing. Thank you for
the quality of time in that place of enriched love.

I first heard of the July 1-5, 2012 pilgrimage to Caritas when
one of your community members wrote a lovely thank you note
to me and invited me to come to Alabama for this event. At
that time I was bed-ridden with a severe ruptured disc. It was
going on two months of pain, etc. When I read the invite, I
yearned so very much to go. The thought kept coming to my
mind during the day and woke me up at night. I thought,
“wow”, this has never happened to me before, perhaps Our
Holy Mother wants me to attend. Then I read in some of your
literature that even if it seems impossible, pray for it. So I
did. I asked Our Lord Jesus and Mother Mary to help me get to
Alabama to be in the very air in which They appear to Marija
and bless all that were there. On all accounts, it was just impossible for me to go. I prayed to get well enough and for money to
get there. The yearnings and prayers continued. After about a
week, I thought I was beginning to feel better! And then to my
great surprise a friend gave me the money to go!!!!!!! Wow!
Praise God. Then I started getting feelings of elation with fear,
elation that I could go and fear that I would have to go (drive)
alone. It is 650 miles one way. Our Holy Mother called and
I would trust, no matter what. I left Illinois on a Thursday
and on Friday my transmission went out near the Tennessee/
Kentucky border. My auto insurance covered the tow and auto
rental. Wondrously, I made it on time for all five apparition
times! Another Wow!! How great it feels to know that Jesus
and His Mother made this possible for me. With all my heart
and soul I’m grateful. The greatest things which I’m grateful
for are: the peace and love I received. Also strength to bear up.
They are with me still. I’m not the same and I didn’t want to
leave Caritas. So with deepest love and prayers, I thank you all!

Thank you, thank you and thank you for making it possible
for us to be in the great presence of the Queen of Heaven and
Earth, Our Mama Mary. I pray that we will not take this for
granted, with our limited mind, that the Mother of God is giving Her Best to us, that every second that She is here on earth is
used fully for our salvation. Our six days will be historical for us
that will be told to our children’s children, a spiritual legacy. As
Mama Mary said, only in Heaven will we fully understand Her
coming and our role in God’s plan. The climb to the penitentiary
mountain was a great experience, for us, too. You don’t know
what you are capable of, what are you made of, until you up
your commitment. The weather condition was another opportunity for us to “pay now rather than later” and with interest. We
send our love and prayers to all of you. We were so happy during our stay there, experiencing Heaven on earth

Billboards
For $100 you can introduce many people to Our Lady who know
nothing about the apparitions by sponsoring the printing and
mounting of a billboard. Hundreds of billboards sponsored in 2009
and 2011 were the cause of many coming to Our Lady’s apparitions
in July, 2009 and March, 2011 and converting. It’s one of the easiest ways to reach many souls. Put a billboard to work for the Great
Evangelization of Our Lady to heal our families and our nation.

phone cameras, will be allowed on Tuesday, July 2, on the
grounds. However, no cameras will be allowed at the time
of the apparition even on this one day exception. Please
remember this is allowed for your own personal mementos
of the pilgrimage. Be discreet and respectful to others, when
♥
No lounge chairs, three-legged portable chairs, or similar chairs
allowed in the Field. If one must sit, wheelchairs or electric
motor chairs are to be used. It is your responsibility to make
provisions for wheelchairs. This is a five-day offering of sacrifice, self-denial, and spiritual growth for your soul, not your
flesh. As many have testified from their past experiences of
the apparitions, the Bedroom, Field, Grotto, and other sites
at Caritas, they relay that they were some of the most spiritual, moving, holiest moments they have ever experienced.
Cameras, cell phones, etc., are all a distraction which inhibits
the grace; the convenience of lounge chairs, etc., blocks sacrifices, which results in a loss of grace one could have received.
Prayer is spontaneous and often throughout the day. Gum
chewing is extremely irreverent during prayer or in the midst
of others who are praying. Gum chewing is not allowed on the
grounds. If you see someone doing it, please inform them to
stop.
♥
Our Lady answers any objections to these rules, to be allowed
on the Caritas grounds, by appearing on a rock strewn mountain in Medjugorje which is difficult to walk up, much less
sit down comfortably once you are at the apparition site. For
a peace-filled five days, please be reminded that Caritas has
these guidelines for your benefit. The world may allow these
things, but you are entering a world and a life, here at Caritas,
created by Our Lady and Her messages.
♥
Parking - Anyone parking on the road must be off the white
line or police will tow away your car. For safety of pedestrians, there is no parking on the road in front of the Field.
♥ Priests - Invite your parish priest. There will be a need to
hear Confessions as we have always done in the past in the
Field throughout the event. If you are a priest, we make a
special invitation for you to come. The event promises a great
grace for priests who come and hear Confessions. Priests
experience conversion just as you will.
♥
Home Schoolers - Notify all home schooling friends, we
will open our school during the days of July 1 through
July 5. This school, Our Lady of Victory’s School, is a community effort, evolved from home schooling, that has
inspired other home schoolers with many ideas based on
Our Lady’s messages. It is always one of the highlights for
those who visit here to see Our Lady of Victory’s ‘One Room’
Schoolhouse. Already other schools have been inspired by it.
Walkthroughs will be scheduled throughout the 5 days.
♥
Evangelize the Apparitions - This material you are reading
can be spread by you to promote Our Lady’s coming. Spread
it to your family, friends, parish, etc. See page 15 to order for
free. Just help us with shipping and handling costs. Get your
church directory and mail to everyone.
♥
For the Elderly - In the past, some elderly have paid the way
for a friend to accompany and help them. It is a good way to
come, and a good way to evangelize the one who is accompanying you, for Our Lady to convert them.  “So be wise as
serpents and innocent as doves,” (Matthew 10:16) to convert one
who comes to help accompany you.
♥
♥
Prayer Groups - Ivan once said that satan hates prayer groups.
Come with your whole prayer group to be with Our Lady. With
your group being in Our Lady’s presence, She not only will bless
you during the apparitions, but strengthen your group as well.
It is Her desire to foster your prayer group. Our Lady said on
September 25, 2000: “…Renew prayer in your families and
form prayer groups. In this way, you will experience joy in
prayer and togetherness…” Rent a van, bus, or meet up separately, whatever is necessary to answer Her call.
Free primitive camping in a tent or self-contained camper is
available for all who wish to come or who cannot afford to stay
in a hotel. Primitive camping means no electricity. Port-O-Lets
will be available. There will be portable shower units and water
at a single location. Free firewood is also available, but bring
your own grill. Caritas camping and parking is TV free, radio
free, cell phone free, smoking free, and alcohol free. Violators
will be asked to leave immediately. Call 205-672-2000, ext. 382,
to reserve a spot in the primitive camping area.
♥
The Gift Shop will be fully stocked with beautiful items to have
blessed by Our Lady in Her apparitions to Marija.
♥
Making Reservations - Many hotels in the spring can book up
early, so we recommend that you make reservations now. Listed
on mej.com are select hotels in which most are offering dis-
counts for those coming in July. We are expecting that many will
book up, so it is necessary to make reservations as soon as possible to assure your rooms. Please state this is for the Caritas
of Birmingham group for Our Lady’s Apparitions of July 1–5,
2013, when making reservations. We encourage you to come
all five days to spend time in prayer in preparation for each day’s
apparition. Our Lady’s apparitions are a source of great graces
for those who gather. By being on the site for July 1 and staying
through July 5, or after, your experience will be greatly heightened. Even if circumstances at this moment do not seem possible for you to come—remember, prayer brings about miracles.
So book your plans and pray, pray, pray, and Our Lady will work
out the details. Whether it be lack of funds, job, family, etc., surrender to God the problem and give to Our Lady your desires.
Pray short, ardent prayers and do novenas to be here. She
will take it from there, trust Her. Call Caritas at 205-672-2000
ext. 330, twenty-four hours for more information.
Schedule of Events

The first apparition, you will bathe in the grace of Our
Lady’s presence for repentance, forgiveness and revival.

yourself for the first time, or re-consecrate yourself to Jesus

of its birth, in Her presence, during the apparition.

* “The Seven Novenas for the Reconciliation of Ourselves, Our Families and Our
Nation Back to God” have been prayed every year for 20 years. Each year they
begin on June 25th and continue on the 25th of each month through December.
Literally millions of prayers have been prayed by tens of thousands of supporters
over these years. There can be no doubt that these prayers have been instrumental, in moving the heart of God to bring Our Lady to our country. You can join
us in praying these powerful novenas by contacting Caritas and requesting a free
copy of the booklet. Call 205-672-2000 Ext 315 twenty-four hours. Or download

Daily Schedule
You will receive a free program booklet of the current schedule when you arrive.
5:00 am Morning Prayer: Silent prayer in the Field. Bring
blankets to sit on. Please remember to be quiet and
turn off ­flashlights 50 yds. before you arrive at the
statue so as not to disturb others in prayer.
6:00 am Angelus
6:30 am Holy Mass is scheduled at Our Lady of the Valley
church daily at 6:30 am.
All priests are welcome to concelebrate and to
offer the Sacrament of Confession in the Field of
Apparitions
8:30 am Morning Prayer In front of The Tabernacle of Our
Lady’s Messages, special announcements and apparition times will be made at this time.
10:45 am Rosary in the Field Two mysteries prayed each day
as well as the Consecration to the Two Hearts.
12:00 pm Angelus Wherever you may be on the grounds.
3:00 pm Chaplet of Divine Mercy Wherever you may be on
the grounds.
On the Hour Prayer: Three Hail Mary’s will be prayed on the
top of every hour, from 9–5 for a nine-hour novena each day. We
will offer these prayers for Our Lady’s intentions for the renewal
of all the earth for a new springtime, for the Holy Spirit’s renewal
Come
of the Church, for the consecration of the retooled and expanded
Tabernacle of Our Lady’s Messages and the necessary funding tto
complete it, and for your own intentions for the Five Days. At the
sound of the bells every hour, kneel down wherever you are and
pray the three Hail Mary’s to Our Lady.
The apparitions of Our Lady will be announced at the time Our
Lady tells Marija. In the past Our Lady has told us the day before
what time and where She will appear. This place is Hers and it has
been a great joy for us in the way Our Lady has often done this for
us; sometimes appearing in the morning, sometimes late at night,
sometimes during the day, sometimes in the Field, and often times
in the Bedroom. We surrender this to Our Lady with the joy that
She will do what’s best for Her children. You may bring food on the
grounds. Bring snacks, etc., (but not in the circle around Our Lady’s
statue). Stay all day and be free to relish the peace here.
Special Note
There will be scheduled talks with Marija and A Friend of
Medjugorje throughout the week. It will be important to attend and
listen for the times of these talks and other events such as the visit
to the Bedroom of Apparitions, the behind the scenes walk through
the mission, the climb to Grotto La Pluie, and the Patriotic Rosary,
which will be announced at our morning prayer at 8:30 am.
July 1–5, 2013
Hotel Listings

Our Lady’s return to the Bedroom and Field this coming July 1–5, 2013, will generate a great deal of excitement around the country. We
encourage you to book your hotel rooms for the July 1–5 , 2013, (book for June 30th to July 6th or later because five days are full days on the
grounds) apparitions as soon as possible. Many hotels will fill all their rooms. We are expecting large numbers to attend, as always when
Our Lady comes, which makes tighter availability for pilgrims desiring to attend the apparitions to find rooms. Even if you are not sure
you can come, make reservations. You can always cancel. So, don’t delay in making your arrangements. For more information call
Caritas of Birmingham at 205-672-2000.

Everyone across the land needs to be praying the “Patriotic Rosary™” at this very critical time for our nation. Pray it in your families, your prayer groups, your churches, your schools. Go
to your priests and your bishops. There are some dioceses in the United States that are encouraging
the praying of the “Patriotic Rosary™” throughout their diocese. This is the number one prayer that
should be prayed at this time when prayer is so vitally important for the future direction of our country
and of the world.
“What an unbelievable incredible inspiration. What an inspiring, moving, unforgettable experience it would be
to see and hear it prayed by thousands in the Field.”
—M.U., Saint Louis, Missouri
“Recently we heard the most beautiful Rosary I’ve ever heard, the Patriotic Rosary. Thank You.”
—T.T., Carenas, Louisiana
“We spent the Holy Hour praying the Patriotic Rosary, from the Healing of our nation to God bless America.
It was a very moving praying experience for all of us. Our parish priest stayed the whole time. Our deacon was
there, too, to give us the pitch for the songs. People asked for the copies to take home.”
“What a treasure of a booket.”
—A. & B. T. Aurora, Illinois
—S. C., New Baltimore, Virginia
“It is powerful! Everyone wants the rosary book!”
—M. P., Denver, Colorado
