Dear Children

Life was simple in Medjugorje... People lived like they had for hundreds of years growing crops, raising livestock, and spending time with family and friends. Heaven, though, had other plans, and the village changed forever after a group of children saw an extraordinary sight on a nearby hillside one summer afternoon. Throughout history, people in different parts of the world have been visited by Mary, the mother of Jesus. Still, no one expected her to visit Medjugorje, least of all the six children who would come to be known as the visionaries. As they would soon find out, her heavenly visits would transform their sleepy hamlet into a destination of hope and peace for people from every part of the world. Mary s messages begin with the words Dear Children, and she wishes for every person in the world to see her as a mother. This is the true story of Medjugorje and the Queen of Peace.
