From www.medjugorje.org/messagesall.htm The messages given by Our Lady in Medjugorje began on June 25, 1981, and continue to this day. The earliest messages from 1981-1983, recorded by the parish in Medjugorje (Information Center MIR Medjugorje, www.medjugorje.hr), were unfortunately confiscated and destroyed by the communists. The 1981-1983 messages found here were obtained from the works of Fr. René Laurentin, and Professor René LeJeune. They were originally recorded in French, and translated into English by Juan Gonzales Jr., Ph.D. Although these messages have not been validated by the parish in Medjugorje, great care was taken in their recording, translation, and compilation. We have also included messages compiled by Fr. Laurentin, and Prof. LeJeune from 1984-1986, which are in addition to the weekly messages recorded by the parish in Medjugorje during that same period.
