On June 18, 2026, a profound and extraordinary detailed task was given by Our Lady of Medjugorje through the visionary, Marija Pavlovic-Lunetti, saying to pray for all our deceased and for our entire lineage, that Our Lord may free us from every evil, from all evil that our relatives have done. That through our prayer, our penance, we may ask for the grace that our ancestors may come out of Purgatory and go to Heaven.
Now there is this sudden focus on generational healing to serve as an urgent wake-up call. It reveals a striking reality: some of our ancestors are in Purgatory and their release is bound to our actions here on earth.
WHAT “OUR ENTIRE LINEAGE” COVERS
When Our Lady uses the term “entire lineage,” she is not just referring to the relatives we remember. She is speaking about a massive web spanning multiple generations.
- The Known Ancestors: Your parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents whose names and faces you know.
- The Forgotten Generations: Hundreds of years of biological branches — ancestors who lived centuries ago, whose names are lost to time, but whose spiritual legacy still impacts your family tree.
- The Broken Branches: Relatives who died tragically, those who were estranged, and souls who left this earth completely abandoned with no one to pray for them.
I like how a priest friend put it: all lineage leads back to God!
The Profound Reality: Our Ancestors are in Purgatory
The depth of this message is its pure honesty about the afterlife. Modern culture assumes everyone immediately enters heaven upon death. I hear, “They suffered enough, they are with God.” We tend to canonize everyone. Our Lady reminds us that Purgatory is highly populated and holds souls from our own family trees.
Our Lady’s message reminds us that family ties do not dissolve at death. We are given the power and privilege to relieve and release them and to ensure our bloodline is fully reconciled with God.
A Sudden Focus on Purgatory After 40 Years
By Our Lady deliberately shining a spotlight back on Purgatory and expanding the scope to our “entire lineage,” Heaven is signaling that the spiritual battle has intensified. It is a stark reminder that the modern assumptions are wrong: most people do not go straight to Heaven. Many of our ancestors may be lingering in Purgatory because they died carrying the weight of unconfessed sins, unforgiveness, or deep attachments to the world. Because these souls can no longer merit anything for themselves, they are entirely dependent on us to relieve and release them.
The Holy Mass is the Ultimate Remedy
Our Lady provides the ultimate cure by calling for prayers, penance and Masses. The most effective means I call four pillars that directly impact the holy souls are: Mass, Rosary, Stations of the Cross, Adoration and the Eternal rest prayer. The Holy Mass is the greatest prayer on earth you can give a deceased person. It is the summit of our faith. It is the literal sacrifice of Jesus Christ on Calvary made present again. Who do you miss the most? Who do you wish could have done more for, who hurt you, who helped you? Offer a Mass for them! Offer your Indulgences that are also attached to these pillars.
Offering a Mass for your lineage does several things, it applies infinite grace, breaks generational bondage, and creates powerful intercessors.
How to Respond to this Call Today
We are being drafted as spiritual liberators for our entire family history! To put this message into immediate action, do not wait:
- Offer a Holy Mass: Contact Pious Union of St. Joseph for a Mass explicitly offered for “the deceased members of the [Your Last Name] lineage.”
- Request Gregorian Masses & Novenas: You can request individual intentions, Novenas.
- Offer Your Communions: Offer your weekly or daily receptions of the Eucharist specifically for the most forgotten souls in your family tree.
- Dedicate Your Rosaries: Intentionally dedicate a decade to breaking the chains of Purgatory for your ancestors and protecting your living descendants.
Happy and blessed are those who pray for the dead at all seasons of the year. On earth they will have joy, confidence, and peace; and in heaven rest, happiness and an eternal reward.
The Powerful Graces of Holy Masses: For the Living and the Deceased
Act Now: Spiritual Graces and Protection While You Are Alive
Many Catholics think of Holy Masses as something offered only after a loved one passes away. However, it is profoundly important to have Masses offered for yourself while you are still alive! Offering a Mass during your earthly life allows you to actively cooperate with God’s grace, seek personal conviction, and build a fortress of spiritual protection around your daily life. It prepares your soul for eternity before you ever face judgment.
An incredible option to cover your entire immediate and extended family in prayer, the Our Lady of Angels Association offers a Perpetual Family Enrollment that includes: husbands and wives, their children, their grandchildren, their brothers and sisters, and their parents.
This beautiful enrollment ensures that your entire household is remembered in Holy Masses both while you are alive and long after your death.
Global Prayer: The Fraternity of Our Lady Montligeon
An extraordinary spiritual treasure is the Fraternity of Our Lady of Montligeon. Based at the famous French sanctuary dedicated to praying for the Holy Souls, this worldwide spiritual fraternity allows you to enroll yourself, your living family, or your deceased loved ones.
By registering individuals on the Montligeon Fraternity Enrollment Portal:
- Enrollees are included in five daily Perpetual Masses celebrated for eternity at the shrine and worldwide.
- If you enroll yourself while you are alive, the enrollment automatically carries over after your death!
- Your intentions are joined to the daily prayers of millions of fraternity associates worldwide.
Do not wait until it is too late — proactively cover your family in the ocean of divine flowing from the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass today!
Note: Under the recent guidance by the Vatican on September 19, 2024, the declaration states that the messages of Our Lady in Medjugorje are alleged messages and have not been formally declared of supernatural origin. Under the Vatican’s guidance issued on September 19, 2024 about Medjugorje, however, the faithful are free to give adherence in a prudent manner to this aspect of the spiritual phenomenon in Medjugorje.
