The Christmas and “New Year” Messages (December 25, 2025), from the Blessed Virgin at Church-authorized site of Medjugorje, Hercegovina\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

+<\/p>\n

This message was given to the visionary Marija Dragicevic and focuses on the spiritual “theme” for the upcoming months:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDear children! Also today\u2014when God permits me to carry to you in my arms <\/span>little Jesus, the King of Peace<\/span>, that He may fill you with the ardor of love and peace, so that every heart may be similar to His Heart in this time of grace\u2014be resolute and courageous defenders of the love of y<\/span>our God, that in this time of grace He may giv<\/span>e you His peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Annual Message to seer Jakov Colo (December 25, 2025):<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Because the visionary Jakov only receives one apparition a year (on Christmas), his message is historically used by pilgrims as a primary directive for the New Year:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDear children, today, on this day of grace, in a special way I am calling you to <\/span>complete surrender to Jesus<\/span>. Little children, surrender to Him your wounds and pains, your past and future, and permit Jesus to begin to rule i<\/span>n your li<\/span>ves… Pray that you may comprehend how precious you are for Jesus and how much He loves you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Oldest messages for a new year (possibly 1981):<\/p>\n

\u201cLittle children, time is short, but God\u2019s mercy is great. Do not waste this year in distractions. Choose holiness, choose love, choose God\u2014while you still can.\u201d+<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

December 31, 1982 \u2014 Medjugorje (New Year\u2019s Message):<\/p>\n

\u201cPray as much as possible and fast!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014 On Vicka Ivankovic’s request, the Blessed Virgin gives this message for the New Year:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must persevere in prayer and fasting. I wish that the new year will be spent in prayer and penance. Persevere in prayer and in sacrifice, and I will protect you and will hear your prayers.\u201d<\/em>

Some inspirational words based on Our Lady’s themes:<\/h3>\n

\"\ud83c\udf39\"\u00a0New Year Message of Hope<\/h3>\n

\u201cDear children, do not be afraid of what is to come. God is with you. If you remain close to my Son, no darkness will overcome you. This year is a gift\u2014receive it with trust.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\"\u271d\ufe0f\"\u00a0New Year Message on the Cross<\/h3>\n

\u201cLittle children, do not run from the cross. Accept it with love, and it will become joy. In this new year, unite your sufferings with my Son, and they will bear fruit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\"\ud83c\udf0d\"\u00a0New Year Message for the World<\/h3>\n

\u201cDear children, the world is restless because hearts are empty. Be light where there is darkness, faith where there is doubt, and love where there is hatred. Begin in your own homes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\"\ud83d\udc99\"\u00a0A Short Blessing for the New Year<\/h3>\n

\u201cMay this year bring you closer to God than ever before. May prayer guide you, peace protect you, and love transform you.\u201d<\/p>\n
