Međugorje — A Call to Peace

Apparitions · 5:00 · Free

A cinematic reconstruction of the first days of the reported visions in Međugorje, from 24 to 26 June 1981, based on published testimonies. A story of the young people’s surprise, prayer and a message of peace, with a brief look at Međugorje today.

June 1981. On the rocky slope of Podbrdo, Ivanka and Mirjana, followed by other young people, describe an encounter that will change their lives and shape Međugorje. The film follows the first three days of their accounts: the initial surprise and uncertainty, the return to the hill, prayer and a message of peace. The final part joins today’s pilgrims in shared and personal prayer, and briefly considers the Church’s assessment of the spiritual experience associated with Međugorje. The scenes are an artistic reconstruction based on published testimonies, not archival footage. According to the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith’s 2024 note “The Queen of Peace”, the nihil obstat concerns the spiritual experience and permitted devotion; it does not declare the apparitions supernatural.
