The Medjugorje Web - Apparitions of the Virgin Mary in Medjugorje

---

The Station today is at St. Balbina's, virgin and martyr (130), the daughter of the tribune and martyr, St. Quirinus. The church is ancient, and was probably built in the 4th century above the house of the consul Lucius Fabius Cilone. The first reference to it is found in a 6th century document, where it is referred to as Sanctae Balbinae. It was consecrated by Pope St. Gregory the Great.

Message to Mirjana 

"Dear children! 

You are my strength. You, my apostles, who with your love, humility and silence of prayer are making it possible for one to come to know my Son. 

You live in me. You carry me in your heart. 

You know that you have a mother who loves you and who has come to bring love. 

I am looking at you in the Heavenly Father - your thoughts, your pains, your sufferings - and I offer them to my Son. 

Do not be afraid and do not lose hope, because my Son listens to his mother. 

Since he was born he loves and I desire for all of my children to come to know that love. 

I desire that all those who left him because of their pain and misunderstanding may return to him and that all those who have never known him may come to know him. 

That is why you are here, my apostles, and I as a mother am with you. 

Pray for the firmness of faith, because love and mercy come from firm faith. 

Through love and mercy you will help all those who are not aware that they are choosing darkness instead of light. 

Pray for your shepherds because they are the strength of the Church which my Son left to you. 

Through my Son, they are the shepherds of souls. 

Thank you."
