8th of December 2025 — on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary — we will end our 33-day period of spiritual exercises

Dear participants, brothers and sisters,

8th of December 2025 — on the feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary — we will end our 33-days of spiritual exercises.

How will we spend this day here, in the community of the Light of Mary in Medjugorje?

— At 6:00 in the morning, a Holy Mass will be celebrated in  chapel of the “Light of Mary” community, which we  offer for all participants, for peace in our hearts, families and in the whole world. During the Mass, we will consecrate ourselves to the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary.

– At 7:00 we will pray the rosary at Podbrdo hill.

How you can spend this day?

We offer you several options:

— connect with us spiritually;

—      Prepare for Holy Confession and participate in Holy Mass;

—Offer Holy Mass for the intention of peace in our hearts, families and in the world;

— after Holy Mass, pray the prayer of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Divine Heart of Jesus, which we prayed every day during the spiritual exercises;

— during the day, pray the Holy Rosary for peace;

— from 5:00 PM (Medjugorje time) you can spiritually join the evening prayer program in Medjugorje;

— if you feel that Our Lady is calling you to do something more and more concrete for Her, we recommend taking this step — for example, writing a letter to Our Lady. Thank Her for all the graces that Jesus granted you during your life through Her intercession. Write a personal consecration to Her in your own words for one year. You can start, for example, like this:

“Our Lady, I offer you this year from December 8, 2025 to December 8, 2026 for your intentions and for the plans of peace.”

She invites us and promises us:

“Dear children, pray, fast, make sacrifices for my intentions. You will not regret it — neither you, nor your children, nor your children’s children.”

In the coming year, during the day, preferably in the morning, let us remind ourselves more often that we have offered this year to Mary for her intentions. Let us pray short, poignant prayers — for example:

“Mary, I offer you this day for your intentions.”

When we experience suffering or trials, let us pray:

“Mary, I offer you my prayers and my sufferings for your intentions. You take care of everything else.”

We thank you for the precious community that we have created together. Approximately 6,000 participants from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova and other countries joined these online spiritual exercises.

Let us stay connected.

In prayer and with gratitude for all that the Lord is doing through the intercession of Mary.
