'Dear children, today I invite you, in a special way, to pray for peace. Dear children, without peace, you cannot experience the birth of the Child Jesus today or in your daily lives. Therefore, pray that the Lord of Peace will protect you with His Mantle and that He will help you to comprehend the greatness and the importance of peace in your hearts.'
The Medjugorje Peace Chaplet consists of seven groups of three beads and a holy medal. Begin on the medal by saying the Apostles' Creed, and on the beads say the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be seven times. Conclude with, 'Our Lady, Queen of Peace, pray for us!'
