OUR LADY’S ANNUAL APPARITION TO JAKOV - DECEMBER 25, 2024

Today, on this day of grace, in a special way I am calling you not to live a life striving for earthly goals and not to seek peace and joy in earthly things, because in this way darkness takes over your life and you do not see the meaning of your life. Little children, open the doors of your hearts to Jesus, permit Him to take over your entire life so that you may begin to live in God's love and mercy. My children,  only with Jesus in your hearts will you come to know the true goal of your life and long for eternal salvation.  I am blessing you with my motherly blessing.
