Message of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace, September 25, 2025, through the visionary Marija Lunetti
“Dear children! May this time be for you a time of prayer for peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (with ecclesiastical approval)

Mary’s message this month is very short. It seems as though our Mother wants to tell us about the urgency and seriousness of prayer for peace, because our lives are threatened by dangers, hatred, and war that could spread to many regions and nations.

Mary’s messages given at the beginning of the apparitions are still relevant today. Sadly, in the history of humanity, there has never been a time when wars between nations were absent. In this state of threat, we can either fall into despair and hopelessness, or be nourished through prayer and unite with the Blessed Virgin Mary, who leads us to an encounter with Jesus—the only one who can give us true peace and who is stronger than death.

At the beginning of her apparitions in Medjugorje, the Blessed Virgin Mary introduced herself as the Queen of Peace. She continues to encourage, invite, and guide us to conversion and leads us to her Son.

On July 25, 1990, she said:
“Dear children! Today I invite you to peace. I have come here as the Queen of Peace and I desire to enrich you with my motherly peace. Dear children, I love you and I desire to bring all of you to the peace which only God gives and which enriches every heart. I invite you to become carriers and witnesses of my peace to this unpeaceful world. Let peace reign in the whole world which is without peace and longs for peace […]“

It is also encouraging to recall Mary’s words of March 25, 2021:
“Dear children! Also, today I am with you to tell you: Little children, who prays does not fear the future and does not lose hope. You are chosen to carry joy and peace, because you are mine. I have come here with the name ‘Queen of Peace’ because the devil wants peacelessness and war, he wants to fill your heart with fear of the future – but the future is God’s. That is why, be humble and pray, and surrender everything into the hands of the Most High Who created you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

After His resurrection, Jesus Christ addressed His disciples with these very words:
“Peace be with you! Do not be afraid; it is I!” and “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives” (John 14:27).
This peace of Jesus should resound—and wants to resound—in every human heart even today. Yet at the same time, we see so much unrest within us and around us that we might begin to doubt the truth of Jesus’ words.

We often feel powerless to preserve peace within our own hearts and families—let alone in our neighborhoods, nations, or the world. Humanity is too wounded to free itself from unrest. Selfishness and greed destroy peaceful relationships and coexistence—whether within families or beyond. Fear and broken human relationships lead to quarrels, conflicts, and wars.

We also often speak words of peace and wish peace to one another, yet we ourselves are full of unrest. This is where the difference lies between the peace of Jesus and our own peace.

The peace of Jesus is not an empty wish or mere comfort by which we console one another. Jesus gives us His peace from His own heart—a peace that flows from the depths of His being. It is a peace that springs from His heart and pours into ours, if we open ourselves to receive it.

With His gentleness, Jesus calmed the storm at sea and uprooted every sin and unrest from the human heart. It is a peace that does not allow hatred or selfishness to enter. Let us learn from Jesus how to receive peace and how to share it with others.

Let us do something—not merely to live in a truce with those with whom we are in tension—but to live in deep peace, rooted in our hearts. Let us uncover within ourselves the desire for peace and the strength to make it real.

Prayer

Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace,
you walked the paths of anxiety, exile, and fear.
You know best how to preserve peace even in the midst of turmoil
and the many obstacles that seek to steal peace from our hearts.

We ask you, Blessed Mary,
teach us to keep in our hearts all the graces
we have experienced in our lives,
so that we may remain faithful to God’s way
in this world, which without Him is lost,
and to meditate upon them.

Especially into your hands, Heavenly Mother,
we entrust all who have lost peace,
whose lives are threatened by hatred and wars.
Obtain for all of us the grace to experience true peace
and deliverance from evil and hatred.

Amen.
