Our Lady's message to Mirjana Soldo, Medjugorje, 2nd July 2017:
"Dear children, Thank you for continuing to respond to my invitations and for gathering here around me, your heavenly mother. I know that you are thinking of me with love and hope. I too feel love for all of you, just as my most beloved Son also feels it: He who, through his merciful love, is always sending me to you anew; He who was man; He who was and is God - one and triune; He who suffered in body and soul for your sake; He who made Himself bread to feed your souls and thus to save them. My children, I am teaching you how to be worthy of His love, to direct your thoughts to Him, to live my Son. Apostles of my love, I am covering you with my mantle, because as a mother I desire to protect you. I am imploring you to pray for the whole world. My heart is suffering. Sins are multiplying, they are too numerous. But with the help of those of you who are humble, modest, filled with love, hidden and holy, my heart will triumph. Love my Son above all and the whole world through Him. Never forget that each of your brothers, within himself, carries something precious – the soul. Therefore, my children, love all those who do not know my Son, so that through prayer and the love which comes through prayer, they may become better; that the goodness in them could win; that souls could be saved and have eternal life. My apostles, my children, my Son told you to love one another. May this be inscribed in your hearts and with prayer, try to live that love. Thank you!"

3rd July - Feast of the Apostle St Thomas - Brian 
"I used to teach in Vilnius, Lithuania. There’s an icon of Our Lady there in what’s called the Gates of Dawn and that icon is entitled 'Mother of Mercy.' So that's who I regard her as, as bringing Jesus's mercy to us."
Brian is from the USA.
16th July - Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel - Jean 
"Mary leads us totally to Jesus. She gives me her heart, she gives me her eyes, so that I could love Jesus with her heart ... she gives me her eyes so that I can contemplate Jesus with her eyes. I will be eternally grateful to her."
Jean is from France & runs courses at the School of Mary in London.
Our Lady's message to Marija Pavlović, Medjugorje, 25 July 2017
"Dear children! Be prayer and a reflection of God’s love for all those who are far from God and God’s commandments. Little children, be faithful and determined in conversion and work on yourselves so that, for you, holiness of life may be truth; and encourage each other in the good through prayer, so that your life on earth may be more pleasant. Thank you for having responded to my call."
“Queridos hijos! Sean oración y reflejo del amor de Dios para todos los que están lejos de Dios y de los Mandamientos de Dios. Hijitos, sean fieles y decididos en la conversión y trabajen en sí mismos a fin de que la santidad de la vida pueda hacerse verdad para ustedes. Exhórtense al bien a través de la oración para que su vida en la Tierra sea más agradable. Gracias por haber respondido a mi llamado."
"Cari figli! Siate preghiera e riflesso dell'amore di Dio per tutti coloro che sono lontani da Dio e dai comandamenti di Dio. Figlioli, siate fedeli e decisi nella conversione e lavorate su voi stessi affinché la santità della vita sia per voi veritiera. Esortatevi al bene attraverso la preghiera affinché la vostra vita sulla terra sia più piacevole. Grazie per aver risposto alla mia chiamata.”
