The Medjugorje Web is dedicated to providing information about one of the most incredible and important supernatural events of our time. Since 1981, in a small village named Medjugorje in Bosnia-Herzegovina (map), The Blessed Virgin Mary has been appearing and giving messages to the world. She tells us that God has sent her to our world and, these years she is spending with us are a time of Grace granted by God. In her own words she tells us, "I have come to tell the world that God exists. He is the fullness of life, and to enjoy this fullness and peace, you must return to God".
Since the apparitions began in 1981, millions of people of all faiths, from all over the world, have visited Medjugorje and have left spiritually strengthened and renewed. Countless unbelievers and physically or mentally afflicted, have been converted and healed. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones, to investigate with an open mind and heart the events which are occurring in Medjugorje. I invite you to explore the information contained on this Web Site and decide for yourself whether you will choose to believe this messenger from Heaven.
You have found, quite simply, the most profoundly important, and most perfect work concerning devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary -- Saint Louis Marie de Montfort’s True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. We present the work here in its entirety. It is the surest and most complete work on devotion to Our Blessed Mother, and the clearest road map ever written on how to live your life in Christ. Pope John Paul II has called it the most important book he has ever read, and it is what has made him such a Marian Pope, effecting every decision that effects us as Catholics.
The Rosary Confraternity is a spiritual association, the members of which strive to pray the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary during the course of each week. They form a union of countless hundreds of thousands of the faithful throughout the world who, along with their own intentions, include the intentions and needs of all its members, while they in turn pray for them. As Pope Leo XIII said in his encyclical on the Confraternity, "whenever a person fulfills his obligation of reciting the Rosary according to the rule of the Confraternity, he includes in his intentions all its members, and they in turn render him the same service many times over."
Each member includes deceased fellow members as well; and thus he knows that in turn he will be included in the prayers of hundreds of thousands both now and hereafter.
This led the Cure of Ars to say: "If anyone has the happiness of being in the Confraternity of the Rosary, he has in all corners of the world brothers and sisters who pray for him." The deceased cannot be enrolled in the Confraternity.
Its obligations, its benefits, indulgences, and Fifteen Promises of the Blessed Virgin to Christians who faithfully pray the Rosary.
