by Richard J. Beyer (Author)
For the millions who have visited Medjugorje--or who have drawn inspiration from the events that continue to unfold there--Medjugorje Day by Day offers a unique opportunity to deepen faith through daily prayer and reflection. This yearlong guide pairs the messages of Our Lady with passages from scripture, inviting readers to live her words more fully each day.
Each daily entry includes
- a message from Our Lady, often tied to the date on which it was originally given;
- a corresponding scripture passage;
- a thoughtful reflection drawn from personal experience, Church teaching, or the wisdom of writers, theologians, and poets;
- a practical application for daily life.
After spending extended time in Medjugorje, Fr. Richard J. Beyer (1949-2018) wrote this book in response to Our Lady's call to multiply our prayers, read the Bible daily, and share her message with others. Through these meditations, readers are invited to walk more closely with Mary, grow in trust and peace, and allow her words to draw them ever nearer to her son.
