Our Lady has regularly said the messages are for each one of us individually so try to read them as if your own name was there; "Dear .........." - it can makes the messages so much more personal.

Message of December 25, 2002 "Dear children! This is a time of great graces, but also a time of great trials for all those who desire to follow the way of peace.  Because of that, little children, again I call you to pray, pray, pray, not with words but with the heart.  Live my messages and be converted.  Be conscious of this gift that God has permitted me to be with you, especially today when in my arms I have little Jesus - the King of Peace.  I desire to give you peace, and that you carry it in your hearts and give it to others until God's peace begins to rule the world. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Annual Apparition to Jakov on December 25th 2002

At the last daily apparition to Jakov Colo on September 12th, 1998, Our Lady told him that henceforth he would have one apparition a year, every December 25th, on Christmas Day. This is also how it was this year. The apparition began at 5:20 pm and lasted 7 minutes. Our Lady gave the following message:

"Dear children! Today, on the day of love and peace, with Jesus in my arms, I call you to prayer for peace. Little children, without God and prayer you cannot have peace. Therefore, little children, open your heart so that the King of Peace may be born in your heart. Only in this way you can witness and carry God's peace to this peaceless world. I am with you and bless you with my motherly blessing."

 Message of January 25, 2002  "Dear children! At this time while you are still looking back to the past year I call you, little children, to look deeply into your heart and to decide to be closer to God and to prayer. Little children, you are still attached to earthly things and little to spiritual life.  May my call today also be an encouragement to you to decide for God and for daily conversion. You cannot be converted, little children, if you do not abandon sins and do not decide for love towards God and neighbour. Thank you for having responded to my call."
