"THE BLESSED VIRGIN appears in Medjugorje,'' think millions of
pilgrims in unison, as they await in obedience, the judgment of
the Church. They watch for these messages. Dozens of bulletins and
answering services disseminate them throughout the world. Many
live them, and thus nourish the happy and fruitful contact, which
they have again found with God, through the grace received at
Medjugorje. Others are astonished. "These messages are
commonplace, repetitive," they say. "Ambiguous, heretical, and
even diabolical," say others.
To shed some light on this fervor, and to respond to these
objections, it was indispensable for a methodical publishing of
all these messages, in a chronological order. We can then analyze
the dominant theme, and unravel its meaning.
For the first time, one will find in this book, the whole 700
messages received at Medjugorje, in more than six years of
apparitions. The accounts published up until now, contained only
up to 400, (if one subtracts the repetitions of the messages). The
secrets and the miraculous signs are not overlooked. The
objections are the object of supplementary studies: messages
concerning the conflict of the bishop with the Franciscans, or
ecumenism.
The fundamental message is a realistic reminder of the essential
words of the Gospel. Stress is placed on fasting, from the very
first days. The message is delivered by way of long, repetitive
teachings, as the founding dialogue of every mother. These
repetitive teachings, according to psychologists, form the
character of a child by age four, through this maternal dialogue.
The teachings of Mary, our Mother, in holiness, has provided these
adolescents of Medjugorje with something extra; that is, to live
these messages, which are constantly referred to the evangelical
source. It is that which she has always done, with those whom she
invites.

PUBLISHER'S PREFACE
René Laurentin and René Lejeune bring you seven
years of messages, allegedly from the Blessed Virgin Mary; over
500 messages from the Madonna to the seers, the parish, the
world.
What was said to whom, and on what date, is
ultimately not at issue. The importance is the compilation of
all these messages and their relationship to the Gospels, and to
the Doctrines of the Catholic Church .
The authors have accomplished this. They bring the
messages of Mary to us in accordance with accepted Catholic
tradition, and in the light of many forgotten (or abandoned)
practices of the faith . This book verifies what has been proclaimed in
Medjugorje for the past several years: "Our Lady has been
running a school for holiness, a holiness workshop."
In the end, we can sum up all these messages into
one. It is exactly the same as the first public words of Jesus
Christ:
"The reign of God is at hand, reform your lives,
and believe in the Gospel." (Mk. 1:15).
Over ten million people have responded to this
call in the past seven years. Now, we have the opportunity to
put it all together in the context of Catholic teaching, Mary's
teaching.
We wish to express our sincere thanks to Dr. Juan
Gonzales, Jr., Ph.D., who is Director of Bilingual Education at
Texas Southern University, Houston, Texas, for his most arduous
effort in translating this work from French to English. Our
thanks also to Kim Schrieber, who assisted, and to Beverly,
Norma, Bonnie and Juliann for their assistance with the
transcript.

What Has Taken Place
On June 24, in the afternoon, Ivanka Ivankovic
(age 15), a girl from the hamlet of Bijakovici at Medjugorje,
returning from a walk, sees a brilliant silhouette on the hill
of Crnica. She murmurs: "It is the Gospa!" (Our Lady).
Mirjana Dragicevic (age 16), her friend, does not
look. She is embarrassed because they had been out smoking
secretly. She is afraid, and both of them run away.
But in the evening at 6:00, they return with four
others. They see her on the hill, from a distance of about 300
meters. That evening, people laugh at them.
The next day, June 25th, both of them are back at
the same place, with four others:
Vicka Ivankovic (age 16) and Ivan Dragicevic (age
16), who were also present at the second apparition on June
24th.
Maria Pavlovic (age 16) and Jakov Colo who came
for the first time.
These four, along with Ivanka and Mirjana, become
the six seers.
The white figure is there, high on the hill. She
beckons them to approach; they climb with surprising speed and
see the apparition close at hand.
During the first four days (June
25 - 29), they receive, in response to their random
questions, the essential words of the message: A return to
God, faith, prayer, fasting, peace, reconciliation.
Thousands of people surround them on the 26th of
June. The police question them (June 27 and 29), and forbid access to the hill. From June
30 on, the apparitions take place somewhere else, where the
police are not able to intervene.
They gradually move to the church, where (since
July 2nd, 1981), the pastor decides to say a daily Mass, at the
hour of the apparition. Beginning in January - February 1982, the
apparition regularly takes place in a room opposite the Sacristy
and adjacent to the Sanctuary, which will be called from then
on, "chapel of the apparitions."
During the summer of 1981, the signs continue to
multiply: cures, luminary phenomena of the sun and on the hills.
The movement of prayer and conversions become greater;
pilgrimages continue to increase.
The seers progressively receive 10 secrets,
destined to be revealed at the end of the apparitions; the third
being a visible sign which will be given on the hill.
Christmas 1982, Mirjana receives the 10th and
final secret, with the announcement that the apparitions had
ended for her. The same for Ivanka on May 6th and 7th, 1985.
Nevertheless, the Virgin promises each one of them
a yearly apparition:
For Mirjana, the day of her birthday (March 18),
and also when circumstances require it, and which has come to
pass since August, 1984 in order to prepare the revelation of
the secrets by a priest of her choosing: Father Petar Ljubicic.
For Ivanka, her yearly apparition happens on the
anniversary day of the first apparitions on the hill (June 25th).
The Bishop of the place, Msgr. P. Zanic, at first
favorable (July 1981), gradually took a position against the
apparitions. The main reason for his change of mind was the
complex interferences of an old conflict in the diocese with the
Franciscans. He announced a negative judgment by May 1986. But
Rome refused this decision and transferred the responsibility of
judgment to the Yugoslavian Episcopal Conference. Cardinal
Kuharic established a new commission, which began its work in
March 1987. At all levels, one distinguishes more and more
between the facts to be judged (among which some contest the
supernatural character) and the fruits, recognized by everyone,
and understood by Bishop Zanic, as well.
On March 25, 1985, Msgr. Zanic forbade the
ecstasies of the seers to take place in the church. Consequently
they were transferred to the rectory. They have taken place
there every day, or wherever each seer is individually. For
reasons of health, Vicka has them ordinarily at her home at
Bijakovici, the village of the seers.
At the time of this writing, no one knows when the
apparitions will end . For more details and information see the list of
material available, shown at the end of this text.
We would like to thank all of those who have preceded us in this study of the messages of Medjugorje, each according to his own grace, particularly:
Father Y. M. Blais, author of the first comprehensive work on the subject: "500 Messages to Live" (a very eloquent title), Montreal, 1986. He gathered nearly 350 messages, of which some are repeated several times because they relate to different themes, which justifies the number as announced in the title.
Fr. Robert Faricy, Professor of Spirituality at the Gregorian University in Rome, who examined closely, through interviews, the testimony of the seers and the spiritual dynamism of Medjugorje.
The titles of his works: "Medjugorje, Mary Queen of Peace , " (Tequi, 1984, 108 pgs.) "At the Heart of Medjugorje-Mary Speaks to the World," (Fayard, 1986, 198 pgs.)
Also the irreplaceable spiritual commentaries of Fathers Tomislav Vlasic and Slavko Barbaric.
This daily pastoral from Frs. Vlasic and Barbaric has been published in four volumes, edited by the "Friends of Medjugorje" via Nirone 9, 20123 Milano, Italy.
Volume 1 - Open Your Hearts to Mary, Queen
of Peace.
Volume 2 - Abandon Yourselves Totally to Me.
Volume 3 - Pray With the Heart.
Volume 4 - 1 Beseech You, Listen to My
Messages and Live Them.
Our book has been assigned an appropriate and complementary task: to assemble into a "corpus," according to chronological order, all the available messages, (more than 500), to categorize them theologically and pastorally; to dispel apparently annoying objections, and thus to clarify their sense or meaning through the teaching of Our Lady.
It was necessary to collect all the messages known at Medjugorje, according to the only possible objective order: Chronology. That puts a limitation on this file because the apparitions are not yet finished.
Another reason is because these texts have been transmitted in very different ways: through oral or written translation, immediate or delayed, direct or indirect, date or non-dated. We have presented, at the end of this file, the texts which apparently were not dated.
We will keep these characteristics in mind as well as the functional diversity of these messages. The six visionaries say they understand them as a normal conversation. Jelena and Marijana receive "internal locutions" through their heart.
All this seemed discouraging and dissuasive. But since so many Christians follow these messages, "Live them" (according to the beautiful formula of Father Blais), in a fruitful manner, and that so many leaflets, bulletins, books and telephone calls transmit them from day to day, it became necessary to collect these messages attributed to Our Lady. She does not impose them, but she proposes them, to the entire freedom of each person. Those who have found a home there-who live them-will benefit from them. The continuation, and the conclusion of this message, which is still unfinished, will come in its own time.
In order to show the non-official character of the apparitions, (since the Commission of Inquiry of the Bishops' Conference has not completed its work), and in order not to anticipate the conclusion of these tasks which are being accomplished in discretion, Cardinal Kuharic has asked the pastor of Medjugorje on September 17th, 1987, that the messages not be proclaimed from the altar, and that they not have official dissemination. Private dissemination of these messages, which everyone agrees to acknowledge to be orthodox and fruitful, remains authorized. The publication of this corpus maintains this private character.
It brings a service to those whom these apparitions have converted, or involved; and to the studies of the Commission, a publication which is better organized, better dated, more exact, and thus an historical and theological clarification, useful to dispel the ambiguities of the transmission.
It is in this spirit that we dedicate this file to the Commission, and to its president, who has indeed offered thanks for my private work as an expert to the service of the common ecclesiastical research for truth.
One will find the abbreviations of the references
at the end of
the volume.
In Mary's appearances to the seers prior to
March, 1984, the beginning salutation was usually: Praise be
Jesus. In leaving the children, the ending words were
usually: Go in the Peace of God.
Beginning in March, 1984, the messages were
usually given for the parish, (and the world), and the opening
salutation from the Madonna was usually: Dear Children! In
leaving, Mary almost always thanked those involved with: Thank
you for having responded to my call.
These salutations are normally omitted in this
text, and in the index of messages at the end of the book, but
it should be noted that they constitute part of the messages,
even though it is not necessary to print them for every message
stated.
It should also be noted, that in some cases these
messages have been translated among three or four different
languages. As a result, certain words may show slight variation,
or phrases could change within the sentence structure.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24TH 1981
A silent and distant apparition of the white
silhouette on the hill of Crnica; the first time in the
afternoon, the second time, towards 6:00 p.m.
THURSDAY, JUNE 25TH 1981
The date of the first apparition for the group of
six seers, who see the Gospa nearby on the hill:
Praised be Jesus! (DV.1).
Ivanka:"Where is my mother?" (Her
mother had died two months previously.)
She is happy. She is with me. (A variation
on this wording is) She is your angel in heaven. (Lj.15).
The seers: "Will you return
tomorrow?"
The apparition acquiesces with a nod of the head.
Mirjana:"No one will believe us.
They will say that we are crazy. Give us a sign!"
The apparition responds only with a smile. Mirjana
believed she had received a sign. Her watch had changed time
during the apparition. (Bu 24; D4; K21).
Goodbye, my angels. (BU.24).
Go in the peace of God. (DV.1).
FRIDAY, JUNE 26TH 1981
In the presence of a crowd of 2,000 to 3,000
people, drawn there by the luminary signs coming from the hill
of the apparitions, Vicka sprinkles the apparition with holy
water and says:
"If you are the Gospa, stay with us, if not, go
away."
The apparition only smiles.
Ivanka:"Why have you come here? What
do you desire? I have come because there are many true
believers here. I wish to be with you to convert and to
reconcile the whole world.
(According to others: To convert all of you.)
(K.26).
Ivanka:"Did my mother say
anything?"
Obey your grandmother and help her because she
is old. (K.26; Lj.16; BU.28).
Mirjana: "How is my grandfather?" (He had recently died.) He is
well. (K.26).
The seers on a request from the
crowd:
"Give us a sign which will prove your presence."
Blessed are those who have not seen and who
believe. (L.2,24).
Mirjana:"Who are you?"
I am the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. (L.1, 37).
"Why are you appearing to us? We are not better
than others."
I do not necessarily choose the best.
"Will you come back?"
Yes, to the same place as yesterday. (L.2, 25).
On returning to the village after the apparition,
Maria sees the Virgin again, in tears, near a cross with rainbow
colors:
Peace, Peace, Peace! Be reconciled! Only Peace.
(D.7). Make
your peace with God and among yourselves. For that, it is
necessary to believe, to pray, to fast, and to go to
confession. (F.2, 126; D.5).
SATURDAY, JUNE 27TH 1981
Praised be Jesus!
Jakov:"What do you expect of our
Franciscans?"
Have them persevere in the faith and protect
the faith of others. (DV.1).
Jakov and Mirjana:"Leave
us
a sign because the people treat us as liars."
My angels, do not be afraid of injustice. It
has always existed. (L.2,33).
The seers: "How
must
we pray?"
Continue to recite seven Our Father's and seven
Hail Mary's and Glory Be's, but also add the Creed. (Bl.12).
Goodbye, my angels. Go in the peace of God.
And to Ivan, alone, aside:
Be in peace and take courage. ("And what a
beautiful smile when she left me," noted Ivan.) (L.2,33).
SUNDAY, JUNE 28TH 1981
The seers: "What
do you wish?"
That people believe and persevere in the faith.
Vicka:"What do you expect from the
priests?" That they remain strong in the faith and that they
help you.
"Why don't you appear to everyone in church?"
Blessed are they who believe without having
seen.
"Will you come back?"
Yes, to the same place.
"Do you prefer prayer or singing?"
Both, pray and sing.
Vicka:"What do you wish from the
crowd which has gathered here?"
This question remained without any response except
for a glance of love, with a smile, said the seers.
Here the Virgin disappeared. The visionaries
prayed so that she might return because she had not said, Goodbye,
my angels.
During their song, "You Are All Beautiful," she
reappears. Vicka: "Dear Gospa, what do you expect of
this people?" She repeated the question three times and finally
was given this answer:
That those who do not see believe as those who
see.
Vicka:"Will you leave us a sign so
that people believe that we are not liars nor comedians?"
No other response, only a smile.
Go in the peace of God, she said, as she
disappeared.
(The responses for the 28th of June were taken om
the tape recorder of Grgo Kozina.) (L.2,37-38).
MONDAY, JUNE 29TH 1981
The seers: "Dear Gospa, are you
happy to see so many people here today?"
More than happy ("She smiles," writes
Vicka).
"How long will you stay with us?"
As long as you will want me to, my angels.
"What do you expect of the people who have come in
spite of the brambles and the heat?"
There is only one God, one faith. Let the
people believe firmly and do not fear anything.
"What do you expect of us?"
That you have a solid faith and that you
maintain confidence.
"Will we know how to endure persecutions which
will come to us because of you?" You will be able to, my
angels. Do not fear. You will be able to endure everything.
You must believe and have confidence in me.
Here Vicka writes a question from Dr. Darinka
Glamuzina: "May I touch Our Lady?" She gives this response:
There have always been doubting Thomases, but
she can approach.
Vicka shows her where to stretch out her hand.
Darinka tries to touch her. The Gospa disappears, then reappears
in her light. (L2,33).
The parents of a three-year-old child, Daniel
Setka, who had suffered from septicemia since the fourth day of
his birth, asked the seers to intercede for the handicapped
child. "Dear Gospa, is little Daniel going to speak some day?
Cure him so that they all will believe us. These people love you
very much, dear Gospa. Perform a miracle ... It is watching...
it ... Dear Gospa, say something."
They repeated this petition and conveyed the
response:
Have them believe strongly in his cure. Go in
the peace of God. (L.2, 42-43).
During this period, the Gospa appeared where the
seers (who were being tracked down), discreetly awaited her,
away from the patrols of the police.
TUESDAY, JUNE 30TH 1981
Apparition at Cerno. (L.2,40-41).
Mirjana: 'Are you angry that we
were not on the hill?"
That doesn't matter.
"Would you be angry if we would not return any
longer to the hill, but we would wait in the church?"
Always at the same time.
Go in the peace of God. (L.2,50).
On that day, Mirjana thought that she understood
that the Gospa would return for three more days, until Friday.
But it was only her interpretation.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 1ST 1981
Apparition in the van (L.2,56:
no words were reported).
THURSDAY, JULY 2ND 1981
Jakov: "Dear Gospa, leave us a sign."
The Virgin seemed to acquiesce with a nod:
Goodbye, my dear angels. (L.2,60).
The apparitions from the 3rd to the 20th of July,
1981, have left few traces, almost uniquely the diary of Vicka (July 21-29, Aug. 22-Sept. 6, Oct. 10-Dec. 24), and the parish Chronicle (which
begins
Aug. 10, 1981).
FRIDAY, JULY 3RD 1981
Apparition at the rectory. No message was
preserved.
SATURDAY, JULY 4TH 1981
The seers believe the apparitions had ended, but
the Gospa appeared to each one of them separately, where he or
she was. No message was preserved.
TUESDAY, JULY 21ST 1981
(27th apparition, according to Vicka's diary).
Just like every day, we spoke with the Gospa. At
6:30 when she arrived, she greeted us:
Praised be Jesus!
Then we asked her if she would give us a sign. She
said yes. Then we asked her how longer still would she come to
visit us. The Blessed Virgin responded:
My sweet angels, even if I were to leave the
sign, many people will not believe. Many people will only come
here and bow down. But people must be converted and do
penance.
Then we questioned her on the subject of the sick.
For some, the Gospa said that they would be cured only if their
faith was strong; and for others, no. Then she prepared to
depart. Upon leaving, she said to us:
Go in the peace of God. (DV.1,2).
WEDNESDAY, JULY 22ND 1981:
(28th apparition, 6:30, according to Vicka's
diary). (DV.1,2).
On arriving she said:
Praise be Jesus Christ.
All of us questioned her on the subject of some
sick people who had been recommended to us. Then we prayed with
the Blessed Virgin. She only said the Our Father and Glory Be,
and during the time that we said the Hail Mary, she was silent.
The Gospa told us that:
A good many people have been converted and
among them some had not gone to Confession in 45 years, and
now, they are going to Confession.
Then she said:
Go in the peace of God.
She began to depart and, while she was departing,
a cross appeared in the sky.
THURSDAY, JULY 23RD 1981
(29th apparition, according to Vicka's diary.)
(DV.1,2).
Vicka only mentions the greeting from Our Lady:
Praised be Jesus Christ.
FRIDAY, JULY 24TH 1981
(3Oth apparition, 6:30, according to Vicka's
diary). (DV.1,2).
Today, also, we went to the place of the
apparitions about 6:20, and while praying and singing, we waited
for the Blessed Virgin. At exactly 6:30 we saw the light which
slowly approached. Then we saw the Blessed Virgin and heard her
customary greeting.
To our questions, relative to the majority of the
sick, the Gospa answered quickly:
Without faith, nothing is possible. All those
who will believe firmly will be cured.
SATURDAY, JULY 25TH 1981
(31st apparition, according to Vicka's diary).
(DV.1,2).
After the usual questions on the subject of the
ill, the Gospa responded:
God, help us all!
MONDAY, JULY 27TH 1981
(33rd apparition, at 6:30, according to Vicka's
diary). (DV.1,3).
Only four of us came because they put pressure on
Ivica, Ivanka and Mirjana to go to Sarajevo. At 6:30 exactly,
the Gospa appeared.
Vicka asked her about certain sick people, took
some objects which had been given to her by some people, and
approached Our Lady so that she could bless them. The Gospa made
the Sign of the Cross and said:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit.
Then we questioned her on the subject of the sign,
and the Gospa answered:
Await, it will not be for long. If I will leave
you a sign, I will still appear to you.
Vicka asked if we would be able to see her again
one more time this evening on the hill. The Gospa agreed and
said:
I will come at 11:15 p. m. Go in the peace of
God.
Saying this, she began to disappear and we saw in
the heavens the heart and the cross. Mary said:
My angels, I send you my Son, Jesus, Who was
tortured .for His faith, and yet He endured everything. You
also, my angels, will endure everything.
Jesus had long hair, brown eyes, and a beard. We
only saw His head. (We transpose this phrase which came before
the word of Mary.) She said that we prayed and sang beautifully:
It is beautiful to listen to you. Continue in
this manner.
In conclusion she said:
Don't be afraid for Jozo. (The pastor who
had been threatened by the police).
WEDNESDAY, JULY 29TH 1981
(35th apparition, 6:30, according to Vicka's
diary). (DV.1,3).
Today we waited for the Blessed Virgin in Vicka's
room. At exactly 6:30, the Gospa came and greeted us.
Praised be Jesus!
Jakov was the first to question her on the subject
of a person who was ill. The Blessed Virgin said:
She will be cured. She must believe firmly.
Vicka asked why she had not come yesterday. The
Blessed Mother said something, smiled, but no one heard it. Then
Maria and Jakov asked her about certain sick people. We then
took some articles and all four approached the Gospa so that she
would bless them. When we were doing this, our hands became very
cold.
Jakov asked if we could embrace her. The Blessed
Virgin said that we should approach and embrace her. Then we
asked her to leave us the sign. She said:
Yes.
Then:
Go in the peace of God.
And she began to disappear. On the ceiling the
Cross and the Heart were visible.
The cross, the heart and the sun are mentioned by
Vicka in her diary, in later apparitions. (Aug. 22, 27, 30 and 31, Sept. I and Nov. 22, 1981, as
well as on Feb. 6 and Mar. 12, 1982).
In church we saw the Blessed Virgin a second time
toward eight o'clock in the choir loft. While we were praying,
the Blessed Virgin prayed with us. (DV.1,
3).
THURSDAY, JULY 30TH 1981
We did not go to the hill. (DV.1, 4). (Vicka's diary
contains no more observations until August 22nd.)
JULY 1981
Carry out well your responsibilities and what
the Church asks you to do. (BL.307).
SUNDAY, AUGUST 2ND 1981
Maria sees the Virgin in her room:
All of you together go to the meadow at Gumno.
A great battle is about to take place. A battle between my Son
and Satan. Human souls are at stake.
The seers, accompanied by some 40 people, went to
the praire of Gumno, 200 meters from Vicka's house. Everyone
here may touch me. (D). After many people had touched her, a black stain
appeared on the dress of the Virgin. Maria cried. Marinko,
invited the people who were present to go to Confession.
THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST 1981
"What do you wish that we do later?"
I would like for you to become priests and
religious, but only if you, yourselves, would want it. It is
up to you to decide. (L.2, 83).
THURSDAY, AUGUST 6TH 1981 (FEAST OF THE TRANSFIGURATION)
I am the Queen of Peace. (L.1, 75).
FRIDAY, AUGUST 7TH 1981
On Mt. Krizevac, at two o'clock in the morning:
That one do penance for sins. (L.2, 76).
SATURDAY, AUGUST 8TH 1981
Do penance! Strengthen your faith through
prayer and the sacraments. (D.).
MONDAY, AUGUST 17TH 1981
Do not be afraid. I wish that you would be
filled with joy and that the joy could be seen on your faces.
I will protect Father Jozo. (The latter was the pastor of
the parish at Medjugorje who was imprisoned). (BL.338).
SATURDAY, AUGUST 22ND 1981
Father Jozo has nothing to fear. All that will
pass. (DV.1, 3).
SUNDAY, AUGUST 23RD 1981
Praised be Jesus! I have been with Ivica until
now.(This diminutive refers
sometimes to Ivan, sometimes to Ivanka. Here, the context does
not permit one to be more specific). Pray,
my angels, for this people.
My children, I give you strength. I will give
you some of it always.
"When you need me, call me. (DV.1, 4).
MONDAY, AUGUST 24TH 1981
In her diary, for the date of August 25th, Vicka
writes: "Yesterday, Monday the 24th at 10:45, Mirjana and I were
at Ivan's house. We heard an uproar and we went out running.
Outside, everybody was looking at the cross on Krizevac. At the
spot of the cross, Mirjana, Jakov, Ivan and I saw the Blessed
Virgin, and the people saw something like her statue which began
then to disappear, and the cross appeared again.
Over the entire sky one saw, written in letters of
gold, MIR: "PEACE."
Vicka's diary then reports the apparition on
August 25th. (DV. 1, 4).
A little after the Virgin prayed for peace, a
large inscription appeared on top of Krizevac. The word "Peace"
(MIR in Croatian). The inscription was seen by the pastor and
many persons of the village. There is written testimony by those
who saw the inscription. The seers affirmed that the Blessed
Virgin Mary promised that there would still be many other signs
as forerunners at Medjugorje, and in other parts of the world,
before the great sign. (K58, which
observes the event one evening in July 1981).
TUESDAY, AUGUST 25TH 1981
Some persons who were present said ... to request
of the Blessed Virgin the permission to touch her. The Gospa
said:
It is not necessary to touch me. Many are those
who do not feel anything when they touch me. (DV.1, 4).
She also said that, among those present, there was
a spy (no other clarification was given on this point).
On the matter of the sign, you do not have to
become impatient for the day will come. (DV.1, 4).
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26TH 1981
Today, for the first time, we waited for the
Blessed Virgin at the home of Zdenka Ivankovic. There were five
of us, because Ivanka had not yet returned. The Blessed Virgin
appeared and said:
Praised be Jesus.
She said that tomorrow the people did not have to
come, and thus we would be by ourselves. Then also:
Do not give advice to anyone. I know what you
feel and that will pass, also. (DV.1,4).
THURSDAY, AUGUST 27TH 1981
Maria and I came to Jakov's house today about six
o'clock. We helped Jakov's mother to prepare supper. At six
o'clock the Blessed Virgin came toward us. I was outside when
the Blessed Virgin Mary came. She said that they should not have
to make one suffer so.
We asked her with respect to the sign, and she
said:
Very soon, I promise you.
We commended certain sick people to the Holy
Virgin. She stayed with us for 15 minutes. Then we left for the
home of Marinko Ivankovic in order to wait for the Blessed
Virgin there. She came at 6:30. She told Ivan (Dragicevic):
Be strong and courageous.
She left, and the cross, the heart and the sun
appeared. (DV. 1, 5).
FRIDAY, AUGUST 28TH 1981
At the hour of the apparitions, the seers wait in
the room of Father Jozo, who is in prison. The Virgin does not
appear. It is the second time that this has happened. They go to
church and pray. She appears to them:
I was with Father Jozo. That is why I did not
come. Do not trouble yourselves if I do not come. It suffices
then to pray. (DV.1, 5).
Today, Ivan entered the seminary of Visoko:
You are very tired. Rest, so that you can find
strength. Go in the peace of God. Goodbye. (Adieu: Ivan's Journal).
SATURDAY, AUGUST 29TH 1981
Jakov: "Are you also appearing to
Ivan in the seminary?"
Yes, just like to you.
"How is Ivan Ivankovic, son of Pero,
and cousin of Vicka, one of the four men at Bijakovici who bear
this name. He had been arrested by the police August 12th, on
the hill of the apparitions, and imprisoned.)
He is well. He is enduring everything. All that
will pass. Father Jozo sends you greetings. (DV.1).
"What is the news from our village?"
My angels, you are doing your penance well.
"Will you help us in our studies?"
God's help manifests itself everywhere.
Go in the peace of God with the blessing of
Jesus and mine. Goodbye. (Ivan's
Journal: C76).
Ivanka: "Will you leave us a sign
soon?"
Again, a little patience. (DV.1).
SUNDAY, AUGUST 30TH 1981
At 6:20, we began to pray at the home of Marinko
Ivankovic. The Virgin arrived and said:
Praised be Jesus!
Vicka asked the Virgin:
"People say that since they locked up Father Jozo
in his cell, the doors unlocked by themselves. Is that true?"
It is true, but no one believes it.
Ivanka: "How is Mirjana? What are
her feelings?"
Mirjana is sad because she is all alone. I will
show her to you.
Suddenly, we saw Mirjana's face. She was crying.
"Dear Gospa, there are some young people who
betray our faith."
Yes, there are many.
She mentions some names.
Vickaasks the Virgin concerning a
woman who wanted to leave her husband because he was making her
suffer. Let her remain close to him and accept her
suffering. Jesus, Himself, also suffered.
On the matter of a sick young boy:
He is suffering from a very grave illness. Let
his parents firmly believe, do penance, then the little boy
will be cured.
Jakovasks her about the sign:
Again, a little patience. (DV.1, 6).
Ivan, who had been several days without an
apparition:
"How will I do in this seminary?"
Be without fear. I am close to you everywhere
and at all times. (L.2, 84).
Ivan's diary: 'Are the people pious
in our village?"
Your village has become the most fervent parish
in Hercegovina. A large number of people distinguish
themselves through their piety and their faith. (c.77).
END OF AUGUST 1981:
"Which is the best fasting?"
A fasting on bread and water
I am the Queen of Peace. (L.1, 98 and 187; MM6).
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1ST 1981
"Will there be a Mass on Mt. Krizevac?"
Yes, my angels.
Jakov:'Are the police setting up a
trap around the church'?"
There's nothing at all. Have the people pray
and remain in church as long as possible.
Go in the peace of God.
The cross, the heart, and the sun appeared. (DV.1, 6).
Ivan's diary: "I prayed with her so that Jesus might help me in my
vocation. Then we recited the rosary. The Gospa smiled with
kindness."
Do not be afraid. I am close to you and I watch
over you. (c.77).
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND 1981
Concerning the young man who hanged himself:
Vicka: "Why did he do that?"
Satan took hold of him. This young man should not have done that. The
Devil tries to reign over the people. He takes everything into
his hands, but the force of God is more powerful, and God will
conquer. (DV.1, 6).
Ivan's diary: "How will things go
for Anton, Dario, Miljenko, my friends in the seminary, and for
me?"
You are, and you will always be my children.
You have followed the path of Jesus. No one will stop you from propagating the
faith in Jesus. One must believe strongly. (C.78).
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3RD 1981
Jakov: "When will the sign which
was announced come?"
Again, a little patience. (DV.1, 6).
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4TH 1981
Ivankaand Maria: "We
will
not be at home except on Saturdays and Sundays. The other days
we will be far away in school. What must we do?"
It is enough for you to pray. Come here
Saturdays and Sundays. I will appear to all of you. (DV.1, 6).
To Ivan in the seminary:
The sign will be given at the end of the apparitions.
Ivan:"When will that be?"
You are impatient, my angel. Go in the peace of
God. (L.2, 84).
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5TH 1981
Ivan's diary: "I was praying in the chapel. The Gospa came when I
was reciting the Our Father."
Praise be Jesus and Mary.
(The Virgin was using a salutation of pious people
in Croatia, probably with the desire to revive it.)
Go in the peace of God, my angel. May the
blessing of God accompany you. Amen. Goodbye. (C.79).
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH 1981
Ivan's diary: "I was praying in the chapel. Suddenly there was a
great light."
Pray especially on Sunday, so that the great
sign, the gift of God may come. Pray with fervor and a
constancy so that God may have mercy on His great children.
Go in peace, my angel. May the blessing of God
accompany you. Amen. Goodbye. (C.79).
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH 1981
Ivan's diary:
Be converted all of you who are still there.
The sign will come when you will be converted. (C.79).
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH 1981 (FEAST OF THE NATIVITY OF THE VIRGIN)
Ivan's diary:
I ask you only to pray with fervor. Prayer must
become a part of your daily life, to permit the true faith to take
roots. (C.79).
Jakov wishes the Blessed Virgin a happy birthday.
She answers:
It is for me a beautiful day. With respect to
you, persevere in the faith and in prayer. (CP.7).
Do not be afraid. Remain in joy. It is my
desire. Let joy appear on your faces. I will continue to
protect Father Jozo. (CP.8).
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH 1981
Ivan's diary: "We prayed a lot. Prayers filled with joy and love,
prayers of the heart." Then she says:
Go in the peace of God, my angel. Amen.
Goodbye. (C.80).
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH 1981
Ivan's diary: "The students in the seminary prayed the rosary after
they had gone to Confession." The Virgin came near the image of
Jesus and said:
There is your Father, my angel.
Go in the peace of God, my angels. (C.80).
Christ is our Brother, but in a sense, our Father:
Formula used by some of the most renown mystics.
In an apparition to Gemma Galgani, Jesus said, I
am your Father. Your Mother, here she is. And He pointed
out to her the Blessed Virgin. (J.F.
Villepelée, "Vie de G. Galgani.'').
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH 1981
To Vicka: Stay here so that Jakov will not be
alone. Persevere (both of you)
with patience. You will be rewarded. She also told her that she had scolded Mirjana and
Ivanka for a behavior which was not detailed. (CP.10).
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15TH 1981
If this people is not converted very soon, bad
things will happen to them. (CP.10).
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH 1981
The militia will not stay here a long time. I
will leave the sign. Be patient still. Don't pray for
yourselves. You have been rewarded. Pray for others. (CP.11).
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17TH 1981
Concerning a sick person:
He will die very soon.
Then the Blessed Virgin encouraged the children:
Persevere and you will be rewarded. (CP.11)
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH 1981
To Vicka and Jakov:
Do not relax in your prayers. I ask both of you to fast for a week on
bread and water. (Bl. 190).
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30TH 1981
Don't ask useless questions dictated by
curiosity. The most important thing is to pray, my angels. (CP.12)
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1ST 1981
Written questions asked of the seers: "Are all
religions good?"
All religions are similar before God. God rules
over them just like a sovereign over his kingdom. In
the world, all religions are not the same because
people have not complied with the commandments of God.
They reject and disparage them. (On
this ambiguous response see annex 2.)
"Are all churches the same?"
In some, one prays to God more. In others,
less. That depends on the priests who motivate others to pray.
That also depends on the power which they have.
"Why are there so many apparitions which repeat
themselves so many times? Why does the Blessed Virgin appear to
children who do not follow the way of God?"
I appear to you often and in every place. To
others, I appear from time to time and briefly. They do not
follow yet, completely the way of God. They are not aware of the gift which He has
made them. That, no one deserves. With time, they also will
come to follow the right way. (CP.14).
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6TH 1981
The evening Mass must definitely be kept. The
Mass of the
sick must be celebrated on a specific day at a time which is
most convenient. Father Tomislav must begin with the prayer
group. It is very necessary. Have Father Tomislav pray with
fervor. (CP.16).
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7TH 1981
The seers: "Is there, outside of Jesus, other intermediaries between
God and man, and what is their role?"
There is only one mediator between God and man,
and it is Jesus Christ.
On the request from Father Tomislav:
"Should we found here a community just like that
of Saint Francis of Assisi?"
God has chosen Saint Francis as His elected
one. It would be good to imitate his life. In the meantime, we
must realize what God orders us to do. (CP.16).
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8TH 1981
Maria humbly reports that the Gospa had
scolded her for having stayed (during Mass) with her school
mates of religious instruction, who asked her about the
apparitions:
You would have done better to attend Mass
rather than to satisfy human curiosity. (CP.17).
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10TH 1981
It is up to you to pray and to persevere. I
have made promises to you; also be without anxiety. (DV.2).
Faith will not know how to be alive without
prayer. (B1.137).
Pray more. (CP.17).
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11TH 1981
The Virgin answers, as usual, questions on the
subject of people who are sick or who have disappeared:
Tomo Lovic (an old man) is dead. (CP.17).
MONDAY, OCTOBER 12TH 1981
"Where are the Kingdom of God and of paradise?"
In Heaven.
"Are you the Mother of God?"
I am the Mother of God and the Queen of Peace.
"Did you go to Heaven before or after death?"
I went to Heaven before death.
"When will you leave us the sign?"
I will not yet leave the sign. I shall continue
to appear. Father Jozo sends you greetings. He is experiencing
difficulties, but he will resist, because he knows why he is
suffering. (CP. 18: DV.2, 10).
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17TH 1981
Questioned on the subject of the visible sign,
Our Lady responds:
It is mine to realize the promise. With respect
to the faithful, have them pray and believe firmly.
MONDAY, OCTOBER 19TH 1981
Pray for Fr. Jozo and fast tomorrow on bread
and water. Then you will fast for a whole week on bread and
water. Pray, my angels. Now I will show you Fr. Jozo. (CP 20).
The seers have a vision of Fr. Jozo in prison. He
tells them not to be afraid for him, that everything was well.
With respect to Marinko who protected the
visionaries:
There are a few similar faithful. He is made a
sufficient number of sacrifices for Jozo. He underwent many
torments and sufferings. Continue, and do not let anyone take
the faith away from you.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20TH 1981
Vicka: "Dear Gospa, have mercy on
Fr. Jozo tomorrow during the trial. Paralyze someone; strike
someone on the head. I know it is a sin to speak so, but what
can we do?"
The Gospa smiles at my words, then she sings:
"Jesus Christ, in Your Name. When we
finished the song, (with the Gospa) she tells us:"
Go in the peace of God.
Then she leaves. (DV.2,
13; CP. 20).
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21ST 1981
With respect to Fr. Jozo who is awaiting sentence
from the court:
Vicka: "Dear Gospa, I know that you
do not have the spirit of vengeance, but try nevertheless to
bring certain people to reason, so that they might judge
impartially."
Jozo looks well and he greets you warmly. Do
not fear for Jozo. He is a saint, I have already told you. (CP. 21).
"Will Jozo be condemned?"
Sentence will not be pronounced this evening.
Do not be afraid, he will not be condemned to a severe
punishment. Pray only, because Jozo asks from you prayer and
perseverance. Do not be afraid because I am with you. (DV. 2, 14).
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22ND 1981
Jozo has been sentenced. Let us go to church
to pray.
"We were sad because of Jozo."
You should rejoice! (DV.
2,
14; CP 21).
"Is the whiteness of the cross a supernatural
phenomenon?"
Yes, I confirm it. (DV.
2,
15; CP. 21).
After many people saw the cross on Mt. Krizevac
transform itself into a light, then into a silhouette of the
Virgin:
All of these signs are designed to strengthen
your faith until I leave you the visible and permanent sign. (F2, 155).
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25TH 1981
Three girls from Citluk, returning home after
Mass, suddenly see a great light from which fifteen silhouettes,
dressed in Franciscan frock, are apparent. They go down on their
knees, pray and cry. The Blessed Virgin was questioned on this
subject:
It was a supernatural phenomenon. I was among
the saints. (CP. 23).
MONDAY, OCTOBER 26TH 1981
The Blessed Virgin appeared smiling:
Praise be Jesus. You are not to ask me any more
questions on the subject of the sign. Do not be afraid, it
will surely appear. I carry out my promises. As far as you are
concerned, pray, persevere in prayer. (DV. 2, 16: CP. 23-24).
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28TH 1981
"Were you there at Krizevac yesterday for half an
hour?"
Yes, didn't you see me? (DV. 1, 17; CP. 251).
Several hundred people saw, at the site of the
first apparition,
a fire which burned without burning up anything.
In the evening, the Virgin tells the seers:
The fire seen by the faithful was of a
supernatural character. It is one of the signs; a forerunner
of the great sign. (CP. 25).
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29TH 1981
You, my angels, be on your guard. There is
enough mendacious news which people are spreading. Of course,
I will show you my mercy. Be a little patient. Pray! (DV. 2, 17).
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30TH 1981
Praise be Jesus!
Jakov and Vicka: "What
was
there
in the sealed envelope which they showed us at city hall?"
(Someone had told them that he would believe in the apparitions,
if they would read what was in the sealed envelope.)
Do not respond anything. It is a bad trick
which they are playing on you. They have already given so much
false news. Do not believe them. Continue to pray and to
suffer! I will make the power of love appear. (CP 25-26; DV. 2, 18).
"Should one celebrate Christmas Mass in the
evening or at Midnight?"
Have them celebrate it at midnight. (CP. 25).
To the seers:
Pray! Go in the peace of God! (DV2, 17).
To Ivanka:
Pray more. The others are praying and suffering
more than you.
To the seers:
Tell the young people not to allow themselves
to be distracted from the true way. Let them remain faithful
to their religion. (CP 26).
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31ST 1981-Two versions:
1. Vicka's diary: (D. 1, 17).
Mirjana arrives from Sarajevo, where she is
studying at a professional school, and where she has had daily
apparitions.
Vicka reports: "The Gospa advises
as an attentive mother would. She tells Mirjana twice that she
must distrust, which persons to avoid, how to conduct herself
with those who reproach her and insult God."
"She also tells her to break a relationship with a
girl who wanted to get her into drugs ( ... ), and; not to
quarrel with anyone, to answer a point when it is useful, or to
remain silent and go on her way when that is better. She tells
her also that Father Jozo will not spend more than four years in
prison. She was happy because all five of us were together. On
the question of Danny Ljolje, the Gospa said:"
There is a lot of deception and erroneous
information.
"Then she shows us a part of paradise;
indescribable beauty; many people, particularly children. We
were afraid. The Blessed Virgin tells us not to be afraid."
All those who are faithful to God will have
that. (DV. 2, 17).
2. Parish Chronicle:
T. Vlasic summarizes the advice given to Mirjana
in this manner:
"The Blessed Virgin advises her, as an attentive
and good mother. She also shows her what she should pay
attention to, which persons to avoid, how to handle those who
provoke and offend God. The Blessed Virgin advised her to sever
all types of relationships with a young girl who intended to get
her into drugs. Then she put her on guard against other dangers.
She told her not to argue with people and to answer calmly, and
when she sees that serves no purpose, to keep quiet and continue
on her way."
"Often she would motivate her to prayer and to
perseverance."
"She also tells her that Father Jozo would not
have more than four years in prison. The Blessed Mother shows a
great joy, because the five seers were together again. To a
question which was brought up again concerning Danny Ljolje, the
Blessed Virgin said:"
There is enough trickery and false information.
"She asks the children to separate from such
persons. And then the Gospa shows the children a part of
paradise, indescribable beauty, many people, especially
children. The seers were surprised and shocked. The Gospa told
them not to fear:"
It will be like this for all those who are
faithful to God.
"Ivanka saw her mother in paradise as well as
another person who was of her acquaintance." (CP. 26-27).
OCTOBER 1981
Regarding the conflict between the Franciscans
and the Bishop of Mostar in Hercegovina:
It is going to find a solution. We must have
patience and
pray.
In response to a question posed by the seers:
"What will become of Poland?"
There will be great conflicts but in the end,
the just will take over.
With respect to Russia:
It is the people where God will be most
glorified. The West has made civilization progress, but
without God, as if they were their own creators. (K. 60).
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST 1981
Be persevering! Pray! Many people are
beginning to convert. (CP. 27; DV.
2,18).
THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER 1981

in her hand. She embraces the picture:
He is our father, and the father of all. It is
necessary to pray for him.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND 1981
"Why did you show us paradise the day before
yesterday?"
I did it so that you could see the happiness
which awaits those who love God.
Jesus appears to them crowned with thorns and with
injuries all over His body. The children are afraid.
Do not be afraid. It is my Son. See how He has
been martyred. In spite of all, He was joyful and He endured
all with patience.
Jesus tells them:
Look at me. How I have been injured and
martyred. In spite of all, I have gained the victory. You
also, my angels, be persevering in your faith and pray
so that you may overcome. (CP. 28,
DV. 2,18).
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD 1981
"The Virgin begins the song, 'Come, Come to Us
Lord' and we continued it with her."
I am often at Krizevac, at the foot of the
cross, to pray there. Now I pray to my Son to forgive the
world its sins. The world has begun to convert.
She smiles, then leaves. (CP.
28,
DV.2, 18).
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH 1981
"After twenty minutes, the Gospa disappears and
before us Hell appears. Later she tells us:"
Do not be afraid! I have shown you Hell so that

It is Jesus. On my arrival and when I depart
always sing the song, 'Come, Come to us 0 Lord.'
"Then she blessed us." (DV.
2,
21: CP. 29).
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15TH 1981
"We were in Fr. Jozo's room. The Gospa did not
come. She appeared to us in the church after the prayers of 7
Our Father's, Hail Mary's, and Glory Be's. We asked her why she
had not appeared. She answered that she had not appeared because
someone had installed something there."
The world is on the point of receiving great
favors from me and from my Son. May the world keep a strong
confidence. (CP. 29; DV. 2,22).

Persevere with confidence in prayer and in
faith. (DV. 2, 22).
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22ND 1981
"We asked the Blessed Virgin what the cross, the
heart and the sun, seen during the apparition, meant:"
These are the signs of salvation: The cross is
a sign of mercy, just like the heart. The sun is the source of
light, which enlightens us. (DV.
12,24; cf. 29XI; DV. 12, 19; CP. 33).
A shining silhouette takes the place of the cross
again on Krizevac. The seers ask the Virgin if it was she.
Why do you ask me my angels? Have you not seen
me? (L21, 92).
The world must find salvation while there is
time. Let it pray with fervor. May it have the spirit of
faith. (CP. 33).
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23RD 1981
"The Gospa was all dressed in gold. Around her
veil, on her dress, everything shined and sparkled. It was
indescribable. She was very, very beautiful."

solid faith. I need your prayers.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26TH 1981
"This evening, the Blessed Virgin was smiling. We
prayed and sang with her. We asked her questions about the
sick."
Have a strong faith, pray and fast and they
will be cured. Be confident and rest in joy. Go in the peace
of God. Be patient and pray for the cure. Goodbye, my dear
angels. (CP. 34; DV. 2, 25).
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28TH 1981
"We were five, Ivan was absent. Profound harmony
reigned over us. The Virgin came at the moment when we began to
say the Our Father. We conversed with her. Then she blessed the
objects. She looked at us with sweetness and said , "
Ah, it is so beautiful to see all of you
together! Go in the peace of God, my angels. Goodbye. (DV. 2, 26).
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29TH 1981
It is necessary for the world to be saved
while there is still time; for it to pray strongly and to have
the spirit of faith. (CP. 34).

The Devil tries to impose his power on you.
But you must remain strong and persevere in your faith. You
must pray and fast. I will be always close to you.
Vicka: "This warning concerns
everybody." (C 100).
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2ND 1981
Maria, Vicka and Jakov: "We
asked the Blessed Virgin on the matter of a young man who had
suddenly lost his memory and stopped learning. She said,"
It is necessary to hospitalize him.
"We still questioned her. She did not respond to
some of the questions."
It is not necessary to ask questions on every
subject.
"She greeted us then, as usual." (CP. 35; DV. 2, 28).
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3RD 1981
Pray, and persevere through prayer. (CP. 35; DV. 2,29).
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 1981
Be strong and persevering.
My dear angels, go in the peace of God. (DV. 2,30).
MONDAY, DECEMBER 7TH 1981
The people are converting. It is true, but not
yet all.
She spoke while looking at the crowd which was
present at the different sites of the apparitions. (C53).
Apparition at Jakov's home: "The blessed Virgin
prayed all the time with us. She then said: "
Pray and persist in prayers. (DV. 2, 30 and CP. 36).
On the walls there was written in letters of gold
"MIR LJUDIMA" (Peace to the people). (CP.
36).
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8TH 1981
(Feast of the Immaculate Conception).
Responding to a question from the seers with
respect to their future:
I would like for all of you to become priests
and religious, but only if you desire it. You are free. It is
up to you to choose. (L1, 136).
If you are experiencing difficulties or if you
need something, come to me. (K.72).
If you do not have the strength to fast on
bread and water, you can give up a number of things. It would
be a good thing to give up television, because after seeing
some programs, you are distracted and unable to pray. You can
give up alcohol, cigarettes and other pleasures. You
yourselves know what you have to do. (T. 55).
On this day of the Feast of the Immaculate
Conception, the Gospa was serious; she knelt down with arms
extended while praying:
My beloved Son, I beseech you to be willing to
forgive the world its great sin through which it offends you.
(C 53).
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9TH 1981
"While we were saying our prayers, the Blessed
Virgin intervened: "
Oh, My Son Jesus, forgive these sins, there are
so many of them!
"Then we were all silent."
Continue to pray, because that is the salvation
of this people. (CP. 37; DV.2,
31).
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11TH 1981
Vicka: "I recommend to the Gospa
my parents who are in Germany."
I promise to protect them. Everything will go
well. (DV. 2, 32; CP 37).
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12TH 1981
As vacation approached, which permitted the seers
to be back, the Blessed Virgin was happy:
Very soon you will all be united. You will be
able to have a good time together. (CP.
38, DV. 2,32).
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16TH 1981
Kneel down, my children, and pray. Persevere
in prayer.
(CP. 38).
Jakov and Vicka: "Every
word of the Blessed Virgin invited us to be joyful." (CP. 39).
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18TH 1981
"The Blessed Virgin did not respond to our
questions.
She sang: 'Jesus Christ, in Your Narne.' After the
first verse, she said: "
Come on, sing more joyfully. Why are you so
pensive?
"After the prayer, she began, 'Queen of the Holy
Rosary' and she departed." (CP. 39).
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19TH 1981
It is the date of the first ambiguous oracle on
the Bishop. Complete text, which is questionable and disputed,
has been referred to Annex 1.
MONDAY, DECEMBER 21ST 1981
Be on your guard, my children. Prepare
yourselves for difficult days. All kinds of people will come
here. (CP. 40).
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24TH 1981
Celebrate the days which are coming. Rejoice
with my Soil. Love your neighbor. May harmony reign among you.
(CP. 41).
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25TH 1981
Love one another, my children. You are
brothers and sisters. Don't argue among yourselves.
Then she blesses them and leaves. (CP. 41).
After having had a vision of Jesus:
Give glory to God, glorify Him and sing, my
angels. (Bl. 53).
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30TH 1981
In response to some questions concerning the
sick, she began prayer with the "Our Father," then the song "The
Queen of the Holy Rosary," and she departed. (CP. 42).
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 31ST 1981
Ivan: "How can one put priests, who do not
believe in the apparitions, on the right track?"
It is necessary to tell them that, from the
very beginning, I have been conveying the message of God to
the world. It is a great pity not to believe in it. Faith is a
vital element, but one cannot compel a person to believe.
Faith is the foundation from which everything flows.
"Is it really you who appears at the foot of the
cross?"
Yes, it is true. Almost every day I am at the
foot of the cross. My Son carried the cross. He has suffered
on the cross, and by it, He saved the world. Every day I pray
to my Son to forgive the sins of the world. (CP 42; cf. L2, 126).
The apparitions, since July 1981, often taking
place in the church, where they occurred spontaneously toward
the end of the rosary, are transferred to the room serving as a
storeroom. It is opposite the sacristy and provided privacy from
the curiosity of the pilgrims and every provocation on part of
the police. This room was cleaned and decorated. Subsequently,
it has since been called "chapel of the apparitions." Before the
end of February this transfer was definitive, except for rare
occasions (apparitions in the sacristy, when the chapel was
found overrun or certain days for medical exams).
MONDAY, JANUARY 11TH 1982
I invite you very specially to participate at
mass. Wait for me at church, that is the agreeable place. (CP. 43).
THURSDAY, JANUARY 14TH 1982
After the prayers, the songs and the questions,
The Gospa reprimanded two seers because of their behavior, and
recommended to them not to behave in this manner again. In case
of observation, the other seers did not understand what the
Gospa told those she reprimanded, and observed only her
expression and guessed what it was all about. Those whom she
reprimanded say that at that moment, she was gentle and
attentive in respect for them. (CP. 44).
MONDAY, JANUARY 18TH 1982
On the matter of a sick person with heart
problems:
There is little hope for her. I will pray for
her.
After her departure, the children see the cross,
the heart and the sun, signs which they perceive from time to
time. (CP. 46).
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20TH 1982
Must the children from lzbicno meet us tomorrow?
They say that you told them of this meeting.
It is not necessary for you to meet them.
They want to transfer Fr. Tomislav from here. What
must he do?
If it is in God's design, that he depart, as
has been the case with Fr. Jozo, have him abandon himself to
the will of God. He must think very much, and you must pray
for him.
(CP. 47).
THURSDAY, JANUARY 21ST 1982
The seers: Why
don't
you leave a concrete sign, so that the priests are convinced and
that they be converted, in order to be able to convert the
others?
The sign will appear at the desired time.
Why are there apparitions in different places in
Hercegovina?
My children, don't you see that the faith
begins to extinguish itself, and that it is necessary to
awaken the faith among men?
What must we do so that peace may reign among the
priests?
Fast and pray! (CP.
46).
FRIDAY, JANUARY 22ND 1982
Is the apparition at lzbicno coming from God or
from the devil?
It is coming from God. (CP. 47).
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND 1982
When must one celebrate the feast of The Queen of
Peace?
The Blessed Virgin smiled as she answered:
I would prefer that it take place June 25th.
The faithful have come for the first time on that day, on the
hill. (CP. 48).
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8TH 1982
Jakov and I were in the sacristy. When we began
to pray the "Our Father," the Gospa arrived. It was five minutes
after six. We questioned her on the matter of a person who was
sick, emotionally:
He must pray. I will- help him within the
limitation of my power.
To the Slovenes who were praying while she was
with us:
Persevere in prayer.
Then she blessed some articles, (DV3, 3).
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9TH 1982
At the fourth "Our Father," the Blessed Virgin-
arrived. We always ask questions with respect to the sick:
Pray for all the sick. Believe firmly. I will
come to help, according to that which is in my power I will
ask my Son, Jesus, to help them. The most important thing, in
the meantime, is a strong faith. Numerous sick persons think
that it is sufficient to come here in order to be quickly
healed. Some of them do not even believe in God, and even
less, in the apparitions, and then they ask for help from the
Gospa! (Dv3,3).
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10TH 1982
Jakov and I were alone. Just as every evening, we
prayed, conversed with the Blessed Virgin, and asked many
questions. To them she responded:
Pray, Pray! It is necessary to believe firmly,
to go to confession regularly, and likewise receive Holy
Communion. It is the only salvation.
Her preferred prayer is the "Creed." When we
recite it, the Blessed Virgin does not cease to smile. I think
that no one has seen her happier than during this prayer. (DV3, 4).
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11TH 1982
Just like every evening, except on Fridays,
Saturdays, and Sundays, Jakov and I are alone. The Blessed
Virgin begins first or all to pray the "Our Father," then the
"Glory Be." We recommend the sick and then present her
questions:
Pray my angels, persevere! Do not let the enemy
take possession of you in anything. Be courageous. Go in the
peace of God, my angels. Goodbye. (DV3,4).
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12TH 1982
Be more calm, more poised. Do not take sides
with other children. Be agreeable, well mannered, pious!
When the Gospa prays, she joins her hands. When
she speaks she opens them and raises them toward Heaven, her
palms turned upwards. (DV3,5).
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13TH 1982
To the seminarians who were present:
Through prayer, one obtains everything. (C.52).
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14TH 1982
We are four seers today. When we are in a group,
I feel a little happier and joyful in the presence of the Holy
Virgin. Likewise, the other four:
Be together like brothers and sisters. Do not
argue.
Satan exists! He seeks only to destroy. With
regards to you, pray, and persevere in prayer. No one will be
able to do anything against you. (DV3,
6).
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16TH 1982
The Blessed Virgin began "Jesus in Your Name." Since she has appeared to us she hasn't been sad. Whatever she says, her countenance is smiling and filled with serenity. Her joy attracts us. She wants us to be joyful, we also, wanting nothing to deceive us, any intrigue, or inventive story.
Satan only says what he wants. He interferes in everything. You, my angels, be ready to endure everything. Here, many things will take place. Do not allow yourselves to be surprised by him. (DV3, 7).
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19TH 1982
We asked if we could pray the "Hail Mary." She
said yes. And while we prayed, she looked at us with a smile,
but without praying with us. Truly, her beauty is indescribable.
Since I have seen the Blessed Virgin, I have been filled with
joy. Whatever her words may be, what she has told me, I have
always done it. I have obeyed. She makes attentive remarks, as a
mother.
Listen attentively at holy Mass. Be well
mannered. Do not chatter during holy Mass. (DV3, 8).
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21ST 1982
Be together, and do not argue, do not be
disorderly. My angels, I will make you attentive. I will guide
you on a sure way. (DV3, 9).
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD 1982
When we asked the Gospa, she did not answer, but
began immediately to pray. When we asked her if such a person
were alive, she says:
Do not ask me any more questions! I know what
there is in each sick person, or what there is in my power to
help him. I will pray to my Son to put out His mercy on each
one. (DV3, 10).
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25TH 1982
Be persevering and courageous. Do not fear
anything. Pray, and do not pay attention to others.
We asked for news about Fr. Jozo:
Do not fear for him. (DV3, 12).
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 28TH 1982
Thank Tomislav very much, for he is guiding
you very well.
Then she smiles, and begins to say the "Glory Be."
Go in the peace of God, my angels! (DV3, 15).
END OF FEBRUARY AND BEGINNING OF MARCH, 1982.
Messages received by Jelena:
Dear children, if you would know how much I
love you, your heart would weep over it.
If there is someone there who asks you for
something, give it to him.
I also present myself to many hearts, and they
do not open up. Pray so that the world may welcome my love.
Dear children, I would like for the whole world
to be my child, but it does not want it. I wish to give
everything for it. For that, Pray! (L2,
131).
MONDAY, MARCH 1ST 1982
All of you be happy, and may my blessing
accompany you at each step.
She blessed many articles; she touched them with
her hands. (DV3, 16). Since the Yugoslavian authorities demanded that they
put an end to the prayer meetings for the young people, the
Blessed Virgin was questioned and responded:
It is better to temporarily suspend prayer
meetings and those
of meditation because of
the authorities. Take them up later, when
it will be possible. (CP. 49).
TUESDAY, MARCH 2ND 1982
A woman, who had come from Osijek, brought two
large pictures of the Pope. The Blessed Virgin came at six
o'clock with her smile. I believed she was smiling at us; but it
was because of the pictures on the table. She said:
He is your father, my angels.
Then she began the "Our Father." On leaving she
said:
Open the door well, follow the Mass well!
Go in the peace of God, my angels! If you
suffer for a just cause, blessings will be still more abundant
for you. (DV3,17).
THURSDAY, MARCH 4TH 1982
I asked questions with respect to a woman who had
no children. She is not of our faith. The Blessed Virgin said:
Let her believe firmly. God, who comes to help
everyone, will likewise help her. Be patient, my angels, do
not be afraid of anything. I am at your side and guard you. If you
have any problems, whatever it be, call me. I will come
immediately and help you in advising you on best resolving the
difficulty. (DV3, 19).
Go in peace, my angels. Goodbye.
FRIDAY, MARCH 5TH 1982
I questioned the Blessed Virgin on the matter of
an Italian, who was very sick, and about another man who
acquired cancer. She responded:
Tell them to pray and to put themselves in the
hands of God. I too, will call on the mercy of my Son. I will
do everything in my power to help them. But it will be
necessary to believe completely. Without a strong faith,
nothing is possible. Goodbye my angels. (DV3, 19).
SUNDAY, MARCH 7TH 1982
The Blessed Virgin said that she has been with
Ivan (at the Seminary at Visoko):
He prays well; he is obedient. He follows my
instructions. (DV3, 20).
MONDAY, MARCH 8TH 1982
Concerning a boy named Bora, (age 16), from
Metkovic, who disappeared for a week:
He left because of many troubles. He himself,
created some of the problems. (DV3,
21).
TUESDAY, MARCH 9TH 1982
On the matter of a young man from Hadromilje,
named Mladen, who disappeared from his home:
He has serious problems. It is necessary to
pray for him very much, my angels. The people are beginning to
be converted. Prayer has been taken up again, in the homes,
where people had no longer prayed. (DV3,
21).
THE BEGINNING OF APRIL 1982:
Mirjana:Do you wish the
establishment of a special feast in your honor?
I wish a feast for the Queen of Peace, on the
25th of June, anniversary of the first apparition. (L2, 127).
HOLY WEEK: APRIL 4TH - APRIL 10TH 1982
Jelena sees Mary holding Jesus by the hand, and
in the
palm of Jesus ' hand, the inscription "Glory."
Asked about the meaning, the Blessed Virgin responded:
These are the names of all those who have been
inscribed in the heart of Jesus. (L2,
132).
EASTER SUNDAY, APRIL 11TH 1982
Is it necessary to establish prayer groups,
formed by Priests, Sisters and laity in the parish?
It is necessary, but not only here. Communities
of prayer are necessary in all parishes. (CP.54). (It does not mean just "Charismatic Groups,"
as the polemists, adversaries of this movement, have indicated.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21ST 1982
Father Vlasic questioned the seers. They say that
the Blessed Virgin continues to appear to them everyday. The
messages can be summarized thusly:
Be patient! Everything is developing according
to God's plan. His promises will be realized. May one continue
to pray, to do penance, and to be converted. (CP 55).
THURSDAY, APRIL 22ND 1982
Are the luminous signs at the cross on Krizevac
natural,
or do they come from God? What does the letter "S"
and the letter "T," which appear on the cross mean?
They are signs of God, and not of natural
phenomena. "S" and "T" are signs of salvation. (Bl.55; CP.55).
SATURDAY, APRIL 24TH 1982
What must one do in order to have more cures?
Pray! Pray and believe firmly. Say the prayers
which have already been requested. (Seven "Our Father's, "
"Hail Mary's, "Glory Be's " and the "Creed.)
Do more penance. (CP.55).
SUNDAY, MAY 2ND 1982
I have come to call the world to conversion
for the last time. Later, I will not appear any more on this
earth. (L2,128).
THURSDAY, MAY 6TH 1982
May we write on a piece of paper, the date of the great sign, describe it, seal it, and put it in the archives? (as requested by the commission).
No! I have entrusted that only to you. You will unveil it when I will tell you. Many persons will not believe you, I know, and you will suffer very much for it. But you will endure everything, and you will finally be the happiest. (CP.56).
THURSDAY, MAY 13TH 1982
After the attempt on the life of John Paul II:
His enemies have wanted to kill him, but I
protected him. (Bu. 151).
SPRING, 1982
Question asked at the request of the pastor at
lzbicno, alleged place of other apparitions:
Why are there so many signs in Hercegovina?
It is God who gives them. My children, have you
not observed that faith began to extinguish itself? There are
many who do not come to church except through habit. It is
necessary to awaken the faith. It is a gift from God.
People are surprised that you are appearing in so many places:
If it is necessary, I will appear in each home.
(C.92-93).
With respect to the little seers from lzbicno : (lzbicno, 60 kilometers from
Medjugorje. In 1982-83, 18 persons mostly females, said they had
apparitions. The seers from Medjugorje were said to have
received kind words for those from lzbicno, but the Blessed
Virgin reminded them strongly, that they must not have any
contact with these persons, nor invite them to Medjugorje.)
Did I not tell you not to come together with
those children? I am your mother, you must obey me. (C93).
For Jakov, who was crying to see Vicka ill:
The cross is necessary because of the sins of
the world. (L2, 128).
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23RD 1982 (Possibly a few days preceding)
Just before the anniversary of June 24th, Vicka answered some questions asked by Fr. Tomislav Vlasic, who reported them in the parish Chronicle, on June Keith, regarding responses of Our Lady:
Does the Holy Spirit have two natures?
He has only one; the Divine nature.
These apparitions are the last in the world.
"As far as I have understood," observes Tomislav
Vlasic, "her answer is not only given in Medjugorje, but also in
other parts of the world."
THURSDAY, JUNE 24TH 1982 OR FRIDAY, JUNE 25TH 1982
Before the evening Mass, during the apparition,
the Virgin told the priests, through the intermediary of the
seers:
Thank the people in my name for the prayers,
the sacrifices and the penance. Have them persevere in prayer,
fasting and conversion, and have them wait with patience the
realization of my promise. Everything is unfolding according
to God's plan. (C 98; CP 60 and
64).
MONDAY, JULY 12TH 1982
Will there be a third world war?
The third world war will not take place. (CP 68).
WEDNESDAY, JULY 21ST 1982
To the response conveyed by Father T. Vlasic on
Purgatory:
There are many souls in Purgatory. There are
also persons who have been consecrated to God: some priests,
some religious. Pray for their intentions, at least seven Our
Father's, Hail Mary's and Glory Be's and the Creed. I
recommend it to you. There is a large number of souls who have
been in Purgatory for a long time because no one prays for
them.
A response to a question on fasting:
The best fast is on bread and water. Through
fasting and prayer, one can stop wars, one can suspend the
laws of nature.
Charity cannot replace fasting. Those who are
not able to fast can sometime replace it with prayer, charity
and a confession; but everyone, except the sick, must fast.
(CP 69).
SATURDAY, JULY 24TH 1982
Answer to some questions which were asked:
We go to Heaven in full conscience: that which
we have now. At the moment of death, we are conscious of the
separation of the body and the soul. It is false to teach
people that we are re-born many times and that we pass to
different bodies. One is born only once. The body, drawn from
the earth, decomposes after death. It never comes back to life
again. Man receives a transfigured body. Whoever has done very
much evil during his life can go straight to Heaven if he
confesses, is sorry for what he has done, and received
Communion at the end of his life. (CP
70).
SUNDAY, JULY 25TH 1982
A response to questions asked regarding Hell:
Today many persons go to Hell. God permits his
children to suffer in Hell due to the fact that they have
committed grave unpardonable sins. Those who are in Hell, no
longer have a chance to know a better lot. (CP 71).
Response to questions regarding cures:
For the cure of the sick, it is important to
say the following prayers: the Creed, seven Our Father's, Hail
Mary's and Glory Be's, and to fast on bread and water. It is
good to impose one's hands on the sick and to pray. It is good
to anoint the sick with holy oil. All priests do not have the
gift of healing. In order to revive this gift, the priest must
pray with perseverance and believe firmly. (CP 71).
FRIDAY, AUGUST 6TH 1982 (Feast of the Transfiguration)
A response to questions which were asked
concerning Confession:
One must invite people to go to Confession each
month, especially the first Saturday. Here I have not spoken
about it yet. I have invited people to frequent Confession. I
will give you yet some concrete messages for our time. Be
patient because the time has not yet come. Do what I
have told you. They are numerous who do not observe it.
Monthly Confession will be a remedy for the Church in the
West. One must convey this message to the West. (CP 72).
That night the Gospa gave a sign to a group of
young people who prayed with Ivan Dragicevic: two luminary signs
descended on Krizevac and the church. This phenomenon was
observed by Father Tomislav Vlasic near the church. Ivan
commented on this phenomenon to all those who were there and
added, "The Blessed Virgin told me that she would appear to you
now in Heaven." (CP 72).
TUESDAY, AUGUST 10TH 1982
No special message, but the visionaries only
said-the Blessed Virgin told us that now we can give some
information in writing to people according to the plan which we
had already worked out. (CP 73).
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11TH 1982
No special message. The Blessed Virgin only
scolded the seers for their lack of seriousness during the
evening Mass.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 15TH 1982
The vision lasted about seven minutes. The Gospa
entrusted a new secret to Vicka and Ivanka-only to them. The
others saw that it was about a secret, but they did not
understand anything. (CP 74).
MONDAY, AUGUST 16TH 1982
No special message. The Gospa only corrected "the
very resonant and very rapid prayer of the seers and the people
in church."
Mirjanasays that, at the time of the
apparition, she sees heavenly persons: Jesus, Mary, angels, in
three-dimensions, and earthly persons in two-dimension, at the
same time she sees Father Jozo, or Ivan Ivankovic imprisoned
because of their faith. (CP 74).
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18TH 1982
Mirjana reports to Fr. Tomislav Vlasic what the
Gospa has told her concerning the sick:
Have them believe and pray; I cannot help him
who does not pray and does not sacrifice. The sick, just like
those who are in good health, must pray and fast for the sick.
The more you believe firmly, the more you pray and fast for
the same intention, the greater is the grace and the mercy of
God. (CP 76).
Asked with respect to a plan of marriage between a
Catholic and an Orthodox:
In my eyes and in the sight of God, everything
is equal. But for you, it is not the same thing because you
are divided. If it is possible, it is better if she were not
to marry this man because she will suffer and her children
also. She will be able to live and follow only with
difficulty, the way of her faith. (CP77).
(On this ambiguous message, see Annex 2.)
SUNDAY, AUGUST 29TH 1982
With reference to the critiques according to
which the apparitions have divided the priests in Hercegovina:
I have not desired your division. On the
contrary, I desire that you be united. Do not ignore the fact
that I am the Queen of Peace. If you desire a practical
advise: I am the Mother who has come from the people; I cannot
do anything without the help of God. I, too, must pray like
you. It is because of that, that I can only say to you: Pray,
fast, do penance and help the weak. I am sorry if my preceding
answer was not agreeable to you. Perhaps you do not want to
understand it. (CP 79).
TUESDAY, AUGUST 31ST 1982
I do not dispose all graces. I receive from
God what I obtain through prayer. God has placed His complete
trust in me. I protect particularly, those who have been
consecrated to me. The great sign has been granted. It will
appear independently of the conversion of the people. (CP 79).
THE END OF AUGUST 1982
Ivan is on the hill of Bijakovici with his
friends. The Virgin appears to him.
Now, I am going to give you a sign in order to
strengthen your faith.
They see two rays of light, one on the church, the
other on the cross at Krizevac. (L2,
129).
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4TH 1982
Jesus prefers that you address yourselves
directly to Him rather than through an intermediary. In the
meantime, if you wish to give yourselves completely to God and
if you wish that I be your protector, then confide to me all
your intentions, your fasts, and your sacrifices so that I can
dispose of them according to the will of God. (CP 80).
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH 1982
For a religious who had come from Rome:
Have her strengthen the faith of those who have
been entrusted to her.
For Father Faricy and Forrest:
They are on the good path, have them persist.
For the Pope:
Have him consider himself the father of all
mankind, and not only of Christians. Have him spread
untiringly and with courage the message of peace and love
among all mankind. (CP 82).
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1ST 1982
I am happy because you have begun to prepare
the monthly feast of the sacrament of Reconciliation. That
will be good for the whole world. Persevere in prayer. It is
the true way which leads you toward my Son. (CP. 83).
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4TH 1982
Questioned with respect to a vision of Andja,
from Mostar, who had seen one evening during prayer, 13 persons
coming from the East; another evening six persons:
It is about a true vision. They were some souls
of her close family from Purgatory. It is necessary to
pray for them. (CP 85).
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH 1982
Frightened by the eighth secret, Mirjana prayed to the Blessed Virgin to preserve humanity from this calamity:
I have prayed; the punishment has been softened. Repeated prayers and fasting reduce punishments from God, but it is not possible to avoid entirely the chastisement. Go on the streets of the city, count those who glorify God and those who offend Him. God can no longer endure that. (CP 86).
Father Tomislav has the seers ask the Virgin if
it is necessary to write to the Bishop and to priests so that
they can call the faithful to intensify their prayers, or if it
is better to wait for other events:
It is better to wait than to precipitate that.
(CP 86).
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15TH 1982
Jakov: "Must Vicka take the prescribed
medicines, or must she have herself admitted to a hospital in
Zagreb?"
It is necessary to send Vicka to Zagreb.
Vicka refused to question the Blessed Mother on
this subject. She said that she wanted to accept what God would
send her. (CP 87).
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18TH 1982
With respect to the article of the Bishop of
Mostar in the journal, "Vijesnik," on the events of Medjugorje,
Fr. Tomislav Vlasic had the seers ask:
Must we respond to the Bishop in writing?
Yes, respond! (CP.
91).
MONDAY, DECEMBER 20TH 1982
With respect to the same article (Dec. 18, 1982), the
visionaries ask: Is it necessary to give the faithful of Mostar
objective information concerning the case in Hercegovina?
No!(CP 95).
Is it better for the seers to pray with you, and
for the pilgrims to ask their questions to the priests instead?
Yes, it is better that the children pray with
me, and that the pilgrims ask the priests and look for
solutions with them. In the meanwhile I will continue to
answer the questions which they ask me. (CP. 95).
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23RD 1982
To Mirjana:
On Christmas I will appear to you for the last
time. (F. 11,74).
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25TH 1982
To Mirjana after she had received the tenth secret:
Now you will have to turn to God in the faith
like any other person. I will appear to you on the day of your
birthday and when you will experience difficulties in life. (F2, 149-150).
Mirjana, I have chosen you, I have confided in
you everything that is essential. I have also shown you many
terrible things. You must now bear it all with courage. Think
of Me, and think of the tears I must shed for that. You must
remain courageous. You have quickly grasped the messages. You
must also understand now that I have to go away. Be
courageous. (G. 1, 22).
MONDAY, DECEMBER 27TH 1982
Today the statue of the Queen of Peace was
finished. It was sculptured by Vipotnik, a sculptor from
Slovenia, and painted by Luka Stojaknac and Florijan Mickovic,
who wanted to maintain anonymity. This statue has been a source
of grace for Luka, who is Orthodox; he put his marriage in
order.
The Seers: "May we put the statue
in church?"
Yes, you may! (CP.
96).
It is this statue which had been venerated for a
long time in the nave. it was removed from there on orders from
the bishop on March 25th, 1985. It then found itself consigned
to the small chapel of the apparitions.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 29TH 1982
Jelena:"May I know the ten
secrets?"
I did not appear to you as to the other six
because my plan is different. To them I entrusted messages and
secrets. Forgive me if I cannot tell you the secrets which I
have entrusted to them; it concerns a grace which is for them,
but not for you. I appeared to you for the purpose of helping
you to progress in spiritual life and through your
intermediary I want to lead people to holiness. (Bo. 37).
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31ST 1982
On Vicka's request, the Blessed Virgin gives this
message for the new year:
Pray as much as possible and fast!
In the evening, to the seers:
You must persevere in prayer and fasting. (C. 140).
I wish that the new year will be spent in
prayer and penance. Persevere in prayer and in sacrifice, and
I will protect you and will hear your prayers. (CP. 98).
SATURDAY, JANUARY 1ST 1983 (The Feast of Holy Mary, Mother of God.)
Ivanka: "Are you still appearing
to Mirjana?"
After Christmas, I am no longer appearing to
her for the present. (CP. 99).
BEGINNING OF 1983
Jelenaasks the Blessed Virgin on
the authenticity of the apparitions of the six seers, and on the
sign which has been promised:
Pardon me, but you cannot know it; it is a
special gift for them. You will have to believe it like all
the others. In the meantime, everything that they say
corresponds to truth. (Bo.38).
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5TH 1983
Tomislav receives, from the four seers present
(Ivan, Jakov, Maria and Vicka), the following information: Maria
has received 7 secrets, Vicka 8, Jakov, Ivanka and Ivan 9, and
Mirjana 10. We do not know how long the apparitions will last,
nor why she no longer appears to Mirjana after Christmas. The
Gospa invites us constantly to prayer, to fasting, to
conversion. She confirms her promises.
Ivan thinks that the apparitions have ceased for
Mirjana because she did not pray enough outside of the
apparitions. The Gospa probably did it so that Mirjana would
learn to pray in the faith, he volunteers. (According to other
interpretations, the end of the apparitions would be, on the
contrary, a sign of achievement and maturity.)
Questioned with respect to the time of the sign:
"Which month? Which year?"
Ivan says: "It is forecast." (CP. 103-104).
FRIDAY, JANUARY 7TH 1983
Mary begins to tell her life to the visionaries.
They are invited to write down her testimony. They will not be
able to make it public until they have received her
authorization. (CP. 105).
This transmission will last:
for Jakov until April,
for Ivanka, until May 22nd,
for Maria, until July 17th.
Maria, who was still attending the school for
hairdressers in Mostar, received only an abridged account, the
days when she was in Medjugorje.
For Vicka, it lasted until April 10th, 1985: a
long account which filled three notebooks. Up to this day, the
seers have not received authorization to reveal these contents.
MONDAY, JANUARY 10TH 1983
Confidences from Mirjana to Father Tomislav
Vlasic:
"During the 18 months that I saw the Gospa, a
great intimacy was established between us. I felt her maternal
love. I could ask her all kinds of questions. Thus I asked her
why God was so merciless in sending sinners to Hell for
eternity?"
Men who go to Hell no longer want to receive
any benefit
from God. They do not repent nor do they cease
to swear and to blaspheme. They make up their mind to live in
Hell and do not at all contemplate leaving it. (CAROL).
(Man's refusal is an irreversible choice.)
Questioned on the subject of Purgatory, the
Blessed Virgin says:
There is there, different levels of which the
lowest are close to Hell and the highest gradually draw near
to Heaven. It is not on all souls day, but at Christmas, that
the greatest number of souls leave Purgatory. There are in
Purgatory, souls who pray ardently to God, but for whom no
relative or friend prays for them on earth. God makes them
benefit from the prayers of other people. It happens that God
permits them to manifest themselves in different ways, close
to their relatives on earth, in order to remind men of the
existence of Purgatory, and to solicit their prayers close to
God who is just, but good. The majority go to Purgatory. Many
go to Hell. A small number go directly to Heaven. (C. 103).
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12TH 1983
Regarding an American television team:
"Will they be able to finish without difficulties?
There will be some difficulties, but it will be
for the glory of God. (CP. 108).
TUESDAY, MARCH 1ST 1983
To Jelena:
Transcribe all the lessons which I give you for
the spiritual life; later you will deliver them to
the authorities of the Church. (T.
64).
APRIL 4TH 1983 (Easter Monday)
A message addressed by Jelena to Tomislav, who
had written on Good Friday, April 1st, a letter of protest on
the subject of the problems suffered in the parish.
"I was expecting the corrections from a Canonist
and no one knew anything except the Pastor" he observes in
detail. Monday, Jelena appeared without knowing anything, and
tells me:
"Do not have recourse to anyone. When you have a
problem, you must remain smiling and praying. When God begins a
work, no one will stop it."
Father Vlasic judges this fundamental message as
per (VB. 4, p. 100), "the Madonna does not stop telling us":
Pray, fast, and allow Got to act.
Jelena transmits the message from the Blessed
Virgin:
Do not pity anyone. If the police cause you
some anxiety, continue on your way joyful and calm. Pray for
them. "en God begins His work, no one can stop it. (CP.127-bis).
Father Vlasic notes in the "Parish Chronicle" the
internal locutions which have been received by Jelena after
December 15, 1982. The Madonna's message:
Hurry to be converted. Do not wait for the
great sign. For the unbelievers, it will then be too late to
be converted. For you who have the faith, this time
constitutes a great opportunity for you to be converted, and
to deepen your faith. Fast on bread and water before every
feast, and prepare yourselves through prayer.
Fast once a week on bread and water in honor of the Holy Spirit outside of Friday.
Have the largest possible number of persons
pray and fast during the novena of the Holy Spirit, so that it
may spread over the church. Fast and pray for the Bishop. (CP. 127 bis).
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20TH 1983
To Jelena, the Blessed Virgin, in tears:
I give all the graces to those who commit grave
sins, but they do not convert. Pray! Pray for them! Do not
wait for Friday. Pray now. Today your prayers and your penance
are necessary to me. (CP. 130).
THURSDAY, APRIL 21ST 1983
You (the
visionaries), must behave well; be
pious and set a good example for the faithful.
Jakov admits that the Blessed Virgin has made
remarks to him several times, concerning his conduct. She has
taught him how to participate at Mass, to pray, and to behave
around others. (CP. 130).
SUNDAY, APRIL 24TH 1983
Message for an Italian doctor who is present:
I bless him just as those who work with him at
the hospital in Milan, for everything they are doing. Have
them continue, and pray. I bless the sick of this hospital,
just like the sick
for whom you have prayed this evening, and
those for whom you will pray. (Bo.
11).
MONDAY, APRIL 25TH 1983
Message received by Jelena, these last days:
Be converted! It will be too late when the sign
comes. Beforehand, several warnings will be given to the
world. Have people hurry to be converted. I need your prayers
and your penance. (CP. 131).
My heart is burning with love for you. It
suffices for you to be converted. To ask questions is
unimportant. Be converted. Hurry to proclaim it. Tell everyone
that it is my wish, and that I do not cease repeating it. Be
converted, be converted. It is not difficult for me to suffer
for you. I beg you, be converted.
I will pray to my Son to spare you the
punishment. Be converted without delay. You do not know the
plans of God; you will not be able to know them. You will not
know what God will send, not what He will do. I ask you only
to be converted. That is what I wish. Be converted! Be ready
for everything, but, be converted. That is all I wish to say
to you. Renounce everything. All that is part of conversion.
Goodbye, and may peace be with you. (CP. 132).
FRIDAY, APRIL 29TH 1983
Marijana, (aged 11) sees the Blessed Virgin at
the same time as Jelena, but she does not hear her words.
Jelena: "Why doesn't Marijana
hear?"
I do not want to separate you. (CP. 133).
(Does the Gospa wish to mean that these two
adolescents compliment each other?)
THURSDAY, MAY 5TH 1983
With respect to a sick person from Vienna: The
doctor has
diagnosed schizophrenic. Some priests think it is
a question of diabolical possession.
It is a diabolic possession. One can succeed
only through prayer. (CP 135).
WEDNESDAY, MAY 25TH 1983
To Jelena:
Assemble about twenty young people who are
ready to follow Jesus, without reservation. Bring them
together within a months notice. I will initiate them into the
spiritual life. They can likewise be more than twenty. Even
some adults and children can participate, all those who will
accept the rule.
I will ask these people to do penance for
certain intentions. They will fast and pray for the Bishop.
They will give up what they cherish the most, drink, coffee,
pleasures, television. It is necessary to have persons who
wish to consecrate themselves more specifically to prayer, and
to fast. I will give them the rules to follow. (see June 16, 1983)
The persons who will follow these rules, will
be consecrated whatever their state in life may be. (CP 136).
SATURDAY, MAY 28TH 1983
To Jelena:
It is very beautiful to remain Thursdays, for
the adoration of my Son in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar.
It is likewise beautiful to venerate the cross each Friday. I
wish that every Saturday, which is the day that the Church had
dedicated to me, you will consecrate to me at least a quarter
of an hour. Meditate during this time, on my life, my
messages, and pray. (CP. 141).
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1ST 1983
Dear Children: I hoped that the world would
begin to be converted on its own. Do now, everything you can,
so that the world can be converted. (CP. 137).
THURSDAY, JUNE 2ND 1983
Read what has been written about Jesus.
Meditate on it, and convey it to others. (CP. 137).
FRIDAY, JUNE 3RD 1983
Father Vlasic has begun to form a prayer group
requested by the Virgin on May 25th. (Jakov, Vicka, Ivanka).
"What do you expect of Fr. Tomislav? Has he begun
well?"
Yes, it is good. Have him continue.
"What should one do so that people will not drive
from here, the priests who work with faith and love?"
Pray and fast for this intention. I will tell
you when the moment comes, what you must do.
"Father Tomislav wants to call the parish to
prayer and fasting, so that the church recognizes that the
events here are supernatural. It is a good way?"
Yes, it is a good way. Have the parish pray for
this gift. Have them pray also for the gift of the Holy Spirit
so that all those who come here will feel the presence
of God. (CP. 138).
FRIDAY, JUNE 10TH 1983
Jelena, Marijana and Anita, (age 11), are
arguing. The first two make peace, but Anita refuses. The other
two enter the church. Anita follows them, and suddenly extends
to them, her hand. An indescribable joy penetrates their hearts.
I had been waiting for quite a while for your
success. Continue in this manner, says the Gospa. (CP. 142-143).
SUNDAY, JUNE 12TH 1983
Ivan: May the priests begin new work
around the church or must they request authorization from the
authorities?
Do not begin the work until receiving
permission from the authorities. Otherwise, someone will
inform the latter and the works would be forbidden. Go, and
kindly request the authorization. It will be given to you. (CP. 145).
TUESDAY, JUNE 14TH 1983
Ivan: What do you wish that the priests
preach during the ten anniversary days of the first apparitions?
Have them do what they think is best. It would
be good to remind the faithful of the events which have been
revealed here in relation to my coming. Have them
remind them the reasons for my coming here. (CP.145).
THURSDAY, JUNE 16TH 1983
On May 25, 1983, the Blessed Virgin has repeated her desire that a prayer group, totally abandoned to Jesus, be formed. On June 16th she dictated to Jelena the rules for this group:
Those who attend school or go to work must
pray half an hour in the morning and in the evening, and, if
possible, participate in the Eucharist. It is necessary to
extend the spirit of prayer to daily work (that
is to say, to accompany work with prayer.)
are responsible for the church. No less than
half of their prayers and sacrifices must be devoted to this
intention.
To Jelena:
I have come to tell the world that God is
truth; He exists.
True happiness and the fullness of life are in
Him. I have come here as Queen of Peace to tell the world that
peace is necessary for the salvation of the world. In God, one
finds true joy from which true peace if derived. (L1, 100).
SPRING 1983
Hasten your conversion. Do not await the sign,
which has been announced, for those who do not believe. It
will be too late. You who believe, be converted and deepen
your faith. (L1, 99).
To Jelena, concerning Anita, to whom the Blessed
Virgin appeared after Good Friday, and who only seldom gets
together with Jelena and Marijana, because of her many
obligations:
If she cannot come because of her
responsibilities, have her pray for a quarter of an hour at
least, and I will appear to her and bless her.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22ND 1983
To Jelena:
Love your enemies and bless them! (L1. 100).
FRIDAY, JUNE 24TH 1983
The sign will come, you must not worry about
it. The only thing that I would want to tell you is to be
converted. Make that known to all my children as quickly as
possible. No pain, no suffering is too great to me in order to
save you. I will pray to my Son not to punish the world; but I
beseech you, be converted.
You cannot imagine what is going to happen nor
what the Eternal Father will send to earth. That is why you
must be converted! Renounce everything. Do penance. Express my
acknowledgement to all my children who have prayed and fasted.
I carry all this to my Divine Son in order to obtain an
alleviation of His justice against the sins of mankind. (C. 145 - 146).
I thank the people who have prayed and fasted.
Persevere and help me to convert the world. (CP. 151).
SUNDAY, JUNE 26TH 1983
Love your enemies. Pray for them and bless
them. (MM. 24).
TUESDAY, JUNE 28TH 1983
To Jelena:
Pray for three hours a day. You pray very
little. Pray at least a half hour in the morning and in the
evening. (L2. 133).
FRIDAY, JULY 1ST 1983 (toward 11 o'clock at night on Krizevac)
I thank all those who have responded to my
call. I bless all of you. I bless each of you. In these days,
I ask you to pray for my intentions. Go in the peace of God. (Bl. 81).
THE BEGINNING OF JULY 1983
Concerning the tensions which involved the
diocese:
Fast two days a week for the intentions of the
Bishop, who bears a heavy responsibility. If there is a need
to, I will ask for a third day. Pray each day for the Bishop.
(L2. 134).
SATURDAY, JULY 2ND 1983
To Jelena:
Devote five minutes to the Sacred Heart. Each
family is an image of it. (L1.
100).
MONDAY, JULY 4TH 1983
To Jelena:
You have begun to pray three hours a day, but
you look at your watch, preoccupied with your work. Be
concerned with only the essential. Let yourself be guided by
the Holy Spirit in depth, then your work will go well. Do not
hurry. Let yourself be guided and you will see that everything
will be accomplished well. (L1.
100).
TUESDAY, JULY 26TH 1983
To Jelena:
Be on your guard. This period is dangerous for
you. The Devil is trying to lead you astray from your way.
Those who give themselves to God will be the object of
attacks. (L. 2. 134).
To Maria:
Dear children, today I would like to invite you
to constant prayer and penance. Particularly, have the young
people of this parish become more active in their prayer. (F2, 113).
TUESDAY, AUGUST 2ND 1983
To Jelena:
Consecrate yourself to the Immaculate Heart.
Abandon yourselves completely. I will protect you. I will pray
to the Holy Spirit. Pray to Him also. (L2, 134).
SATURDAY, AUGUST 6TH 1983
On orders form the Bishop, Father Pervan, the
parish priest put an end to the custom which calls for the seers
beginning the prayers of the Rosary and the seven Our Father's,
Hail Mary's and Glory Be's. Jakov questioned the Blessed Virgin
on this subject:
If it is so, then do not go against it so as
not to provoke any quarrels. If it is possible, talk about it
tomorrow among yourselves. All of you come to an
agreement beforehand.
(CP. 165).
FRIDAY, AUGUST 12TH 1983
This was an exceptionally long apparition (38
minutes). The Blessed Virgin gives the seers instructions to
guide their lives which only concerned them:
Pray more for your spiritual life. Do your
utmost in this sense. Pray for your Bishop. (CP. 158).
MONDAY, AUGUST 15TH 1983
To Jelena:
See how I am happy here! There are many who
have come to honor me. In the meanwhile, do not forget that in
other places there are still more persons who hurt me and
offend me. (CP 160).
Do not be in anxiety. May peace unite your
hearts. Every disorder comes from Satan.
To the young people who are returning to school:
Be careful not to diminish the spirit of
prayer. (L1. 101).
Satan is enraged against those who fast and
those who are converted. (U. 101).
TUESDAY, AUGUST 23RD 1983
With respect to Father Emilien Tardif, the
Canadian priest of the charismatic renewal:
Have him announce my messages to the whole
world. Let Jesus, only Jesus, be at the center of his efforts.
(Bl. 368; CP. 162).
THURSDAY, AUGUST 25TH 1983
Father Tardif, Father Raucourt and Dr. Phillippe
Madre have been arrested and expelled by the Yugoslavian
authorities:
Do not worry for them. Everything is in God's
plan. (CP. 163).
MONDAY, AUGUST 29TH 1983
For the intention of a group of young people
before their departure on their pilgrimage to Brijeg:
I wish that you pray throughout your trip, and
at you glorify God. There, you will be able to meet other
young people. Convey the messages which I have given you. Do
not hesitate to speak to them about it. (CP. 159).
Some begin to pray and to fast just as they
have been told, but they get tired very quickly, and thus
loose the graces which they have acquired. (CP. 159).
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5TH 1983
The mother of Jakov (12 years old) dies. The
Blessed Virgin consoles him and reveals to him:
Your mother is with me in Heaven. (CP. 163).
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH 1983
Pray. When I give you this message, do not be
content to just listen to it. Increase your prayer and see how
it makes you happy. All graces are at your disposal. All you
have to do is to gain them. In order to do that, I tell you
again-Pray! (BN 5, 7).
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH 1983
Pray, pray, pray! Do not be discouraged. Be in peace because God gives you the grace to defeat Satan. (Bl. 288).
In my messages, I recommend to everyone, and
to the Holy Father in particular to spread the message which I
have received from my Son here at Medjugorje. I wish to
entrust to the Pope,
the word with which I came here: 'MIR,
(peace),' which he must spread everywhere. And here is a
message which is especially for him: That he bring together
the Christian people, through his words and his preaching;
that he spread particularly among the young people, the
messages which he has received from the Father in his prayers,
when God inspires him. (CP. 169).
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH 1983
My Son suffers very much because the world is
not converting. May the world be converted and make peace. (CP.171).
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29TH 1983
To Jelena:
I desire for a great peace and a great love to
grow in you Consequently, Pray!
For three priests from Liverpool:
Preach my messages. Speak about the events at
Medjugorje. Continue to increase your prayers. (Bl. 368).
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15TH 1983
To Jakov:
My Son suffers very much because men do not
want to be reconciled. They have not listened to me. Be
converted, be reconciled. (CP, not
paged).
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20TH 1983
To Jelena, for the prayer group:
I ask you for a commitment of four years. It is
not yet the time to choose your vocation. The important thing
is first of all, to enter into prayer. Later, you will make
the right choice.
For the parish:
Have all the families consecrate themselves to
the Sacred Heart each day. I am very happy when the entire
family meets to pray each morning, for half an hour. (L1. 101).
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21ST 1983
The important thing is to pray to the Holy
Spirit, so that He may descend on you. When one has Him, one
has everything. People make a mistake when they turn only to
the saints to request something. (L1.
101).
MONDAY, OCTOBER 24TH 1983
To Jelena, for the prayer group:
If you pray, a source of life will flow from
your hearts. If you pray with strength, if you pray with
faith, you will receive graces from this source, and your
group will be strengthened. (Ba.
45).
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25TH 1983
To Jelena:
Pray! Pray! Prayer will give you everything. It
is with prayer that you can obtain everything. (Ba. 45).
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26TH 1983
To Jelena:
I pour out my blessing over you, and my heart
wishes to be with you. (Ba. 45).
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27TH 1983
To Jelena:
Pray, pray, pray. You do not learn anything
from chatter, but only from prayer. If someone asks you about
me, and about what I say, answer: 'That doesn't explain
anything. It is in praying that we will understand better' (Ba. 45).
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28TH 1983
To Jelena:
I see that you are tired. I wish to support you
in your effort, to take you in my arms so that you may be
close to me. All those who wish to ask me questions, I will
answer: 'There is only one response, prayer, a strong faith,
an intense prayer, and fasting.' (Ba.
46).
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29TH 1983
To Jelena:
I give you my heart; receive it! I would not
want to distress you, nor to stop talking to you, but I cannot
stay always with you. You have to get used to it. In the
meantime, I wish to be constantly with you, from the bottom of
my heart. It is necessary to pray very much, not to say: 'If
today we have not prayed, it is nothing serious.'
You must strive to pray. Prayer is the only
road which leads to peace. If you pray and fast, you will
obtain everything that you ask for. (Ba. 46).
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30TH 1983
To Jelena:
Why do you not put your trust in me? I know
that you have been praying for a long time, but really,
surrender yourself Abandon your concerns to Jesus. Listen to
what He says in the Gospel: And who among you, through his
anxiety, is able to add a single cubit, to the length of his
life.' (Mt. 6:27).
Pray also, in the evening when you have
finished your day. Sit down in your room, and say to Jesus:
'Thank you.'
If in the evening you fall asleep in peace, and
in prayer, in the morning you will walk up thinking of Jesus.
You will then be able to pray for peace, but if you fall
asleep in dis traction, the day after will be misty, and you
will forget even to pray that day. (Ba.
46).
MONDAY, OCTOBER 31ST 1983
To Jelena:
I know that you prayed today, and that you did
all your work while praying. Still, I have a particular
intention for which I am asking you to say each day, seven Our
Father's, seven Hail Mary's, and the Creed. (Ba. 47).
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4TH 1983
To Jelena:
I wish that you tell them, that tomorrow is a
day of fasting, in order to sanctify yourselves in the Holy
Spirit. And pray! Let this message be conveyed to the group. (Ba. 47).
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5TH 1983
Jelena: "Our Lady looked at us tenderly
and said:"
I know my children, that you have worked and
prayed today. But, I beseech you, be generous, persevere,
continue to pray. (Ba 47).
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH 1983
To Jelena:
Where are the prayers which you addressed to
me? My clothes were sparkling. Behold them soaked with tears.
Oh, if you would know how the world today is plunged into sin.
It seems to you that the world sins no longer, because here,
you live in a peaceful world where there is no confusion or
perversity.
If you know how lukewarm they are in their
faith, how many do not listen to Jesus. Oh, if you knew how
much I suffer, you would sin no more. Oh, how I need your
prayers. Pray! (Ba. 47).
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7TH 1983
To Jelena:
Do not go to confession through habit, to
remain the same after it. No, it is not good. Confession
should give an impulse to your faith. It should stimulate you
and bring you closer to Jesus. If confession does not mean
anything for you, really, you will be converted with great
difficulty. (Ba. 47).
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH 1983
To Jelena:
Pray and fast! All that you can do for me is to
pray and fast. (Ba. 48).

48).

in your homes.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH 1983
To Jelena:
Give me your hearts, open them to me.
"How do we do that?"
You must redouble your efforts. Day after day,
increase your fervor. (Ba. 48).
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13TH 1983
To Jelena:
Pray, and do it with fervor. include the whole
world in your prayer. Pray, because prayer makes one live.
In response to a question, the Gospa only says:
Pray and you will understand that, some day (Ba. 49).
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14TH 1983

Begin right now. (Ba. 49).
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH 1983
To Jelena:
Pray and fast. Have all the members of your
group come on Tuesday as often as possible. Speak to them
about fasting. Fast three days a week for the Bishop. If that
cannot be done by everyone the same day, have each one do it
whenever he is able. (Ba. 49).
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17TH 1983
To Jelena:
Pray! If I always ask you to pray, do not think
that your prayers are not good. But I invite you to prolong
your personal prayer, to pray more intensely for the others. (Ba. 49).
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18TH 1983
To Jelena:
At Medjugorje, many have begun well, but they
have turned toward material goods, and they forget the only
good. (Ba. 49).
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH 1983
To Jelena:
My children, pray only! (Ba. 50).
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20TH 1983
To Jelena:
My children, do not believe everything that
people tell you. One must not, because of that, weaken in his
faith. (Ba. 50).
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21ST 1983
To Jelena:
Tuesday, that is tomorrow, the whole group will
find peace in prayer. All its members will be invigorated in
prayer, as it is the wish of Jesus. He entrusts something to
each one, and wishes something from each one. It is necessary
to make them come back to their promises, which were made at
the beginning, and to pray. (Ba.
50).
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22ND 1983
To Jelena:
Pray, pray, pray... Pray, my children. Pray,
because only prayer can save you. (Ba.
50).

just a little time. She only said:"
Pray and fast. (Ba
51).

Begin by calling on the Holy Spirit each day
The most important thing is to pray to the Holy Spirit. When
the Holy Spirit descends on earth, then everything becomes
clear and everything is transformed. (Bl. 125).

She only said:
Prayer and fasting. (Ba.
51).

51).
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28TH 1983
To Jelena:
Pray, pray! Have the parish pray each day to
the hearts of Jesus and Mary during the Novena of the
Immaculate Conception. (Ba. 51).
This same day, some prayers were dictated or
inspired by her. (Ba. 65).
CONSECRATION TO THE HEART OF JESUS
O Jesus, we know that You are sweet (Mt. 11:29).
That you have given Your heart for us.
It was crowned with thorns by our sins.
We know that today You still pray for us
so that we will not be lost.
Jesus, remember us if we fall into sin.
Through Your most Sacred Heart,
make us all love one another.
Cause hatred to disappear among men.
Show us Your love.
All of us love You.
And we desire that you protect us with Your
Heart of the Good Shepherd.
Enter into each heart, Jesus!
Knock on the door of our hearts.
Be patient and tenacious with us.
We are still locked up in ourselves, because we
have not understood Your will.
Knock continuously, Oh Jesus.
Make our hearts open up to you,
at least in reminding us of the passion
which you suffered for us. Amen
CONSECRATION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, overflowing
with goodness, Show us your love for us.
May the flame of your heart, Oh Mary,
Descend upon all peoples.
We love you immensely.
Impress in our hearts a true love.
May our hearts yearn for you.
Oh Mary, sweet and humble of heart,
Remember us when we sin.
You know that all mankind are sinners.
Through your most sacred and maternal heart,
Cure us from every spiritual illness.
Make us capable of looking at the beauty of your
maternal heart,
And that, thus, we may be converted
to the flame of your heart. Amen
To Jelena:
Pray!
For the intention of the group:
I am your mother full of goodness, and Jesus is
your great friend. Do not fear anything in His presence. Give
Him your heart, from the bottom of your heart. Tell Him your
sufferings, thus you will be invigorated in prayer, with a
free heart, in a peace without fear. (Ba. 51).
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30TH 1983
To Maria, for a priest:
You must warn the Bishop very soon, and the
Pope, with respect to the urgent and the great importance of
the message for all humanity.
This message, which was given in September was:
I have already said many times that the peace
of the world is in a state of crisis. Become brothers among
you, increase prayer and fasting in order to be saved. (T. Vlasic, Apr. 22, 1984, VB. 1, 13).
To Jelena:
Pray, pray, pray! (Ba.
51).
NOVEMBER 1983
Before the novena to the Immaculate Conception,
the Blessed Virgin tells Jelena:
Before Mass it is necessary to pray to the Holy
Spirit.
"We followed this message during the novena,
praying before Mass and asking the faithful to respond, '0 come
Holy Spirit.' After Communion, we sang the hymn to the Holy
Spirit, then we stopped doing it." In January, 1983, Jelena says
that the Blessed Virgin requested that these prayers be resumed.
"We should not have stopped it. The prayers to the Holy Spirit
should always accompany the Mass." (Ba. 51).
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1ST 1983
Thanks to all of you who have come here, so
numerous during this year, in spite of snow, ice and bad
weather, to pray to Jesus. Continue, hold on in your
suffering. You know well that when a friend asks you for
something, you give it to him. It is thus with Jesus. When you
pray without ceasing, and you come in spite of your fatigue,
He will give you all that you ask from Him. For that, pray. (Ba. 51).
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2ND 1983
To Jelena:
Thank you, thanks to everyone!
That evening, it was particularly cold:
You are very good to come to mass without
looking for an excuse. Show me that you have a generous heart.
(Ba. 52).
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4TH 1983
To Jelena:
Pray, pray, pray only. Prayer should be for
you, not only a habit, but also a source of goodness. You
should live by prayer. (Ba. 52).
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 1983
To Jelena:
Pray, pray! If you pray, I will keep you and I
will be with you. (Ba. 52).
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7TH 1983
The vigil of the Immaculate Conception, To
Jelena:
Tomorrow will really be a blessed day for you,
if every moment is consecrated to my Immaculate Heart. Abandon
yourselves to me. Strive to make your joy grow; to live in the
faith, to change your hearts. (Ba.
52).
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8TH 1983
To Jelena:
Thank you my children for having come so often.

tenacious. Pray without ceasing. (Ba.

abandon your hearts to me, because I wish to be with you. (Ba. 52).
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13TH 1983
To Jelena:
Pray and fast! I do not wish to say anything
else to you. (Ba. 52).
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14TH 1983
Pray and fast! I am asking you for prayer. (Ba. 52).
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15TH 1983
Fast on Thursday and Friday for the Bishop.
To Jelena on the subject of catastrophic
predictions:
That comes from false prophets. They say: 'Such
a day, on such a date, there will be a catastrophe.' I have
always said that evil will come if the world does not convert
itself. Call the world to conversion. Everything depends on
your conversion. (Ba. 53).
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16TH 1983
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17TH 1983
To Jelena:
Pray and fast! (Ba.
53).

To Jelena:
My children, I say to you again, pray and fast.
(Ba. 54).
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22ND 1983
To Jelena:
Pray! What is most important for your body is
prayer. (Ba. 54).
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23RD 1983
To Jelena:
Pray, pray, especially tomorrow. I desire your
prayers. (Ba. 54).
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24TH 1983
To Jelena:
Pray, pray my children. I wish that this night
be spent in prayer. (Ba. 54).
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 25TH 1983
To Jelena:
My children, pray! I cannot tell you anything
else than pray. Know that in your life, there is nothing more
important than prayer. (Ba. 54).
MONDAY, DECEMBER 26TH 1983
To Jelena:
My children, pray, pray more. It is not
necessary to Say: 'Our Lady only repeats, pray.' I cannot tell
you anything else than to pray. You would need to live this
Christmas in prayer. You have rejoiced very much this
Christmas, but your hearts have not attained and lived what
you have desired. No one withdrew to his room to thank Jesus.
(Ba. 54).
To a question from Father Laurentin, Ivan conveys
this answer from the Virgin:
Our Lady prays for that. May he who undertakes
it, do it in prayer. It is there that he will find his
inspiration. (Bl. 367).
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 27TH 1983
To Jelena:
My children, pray, pray, pray. Remember that
the most important thing in our lives is prayer. (Ba. 54).
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28TH 1983
My children, understand that the most
important thing in our lives is prayer. (Ba 54).
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29TH 1983
To Jelena:
I wish that one love, one peace, flourish in
you. Pray then. (Ba 55).
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30TH 1983
To Jelena:
My children, pray and fast. I wish to
strengthen you, but prayer alone is your strength. (Ba. 55).
DECEMBER 1983
There are many Christians who are no longer
faithful, because they do not pray anymore. Have them began
again to recite each day, at least, seven Our Father's,
seven Hail Mary's, seven Glory Be's, and the Creed, once. (Bl. 137).
Above all, abstain from television programs.
They represent a great peril for your families. After you
have seen them, you cannot pray any more. Give up likewise,
alcohol, cigarettes, and pleasure of this kind. (Bl. 214; a variant of the message of Dec. 8, 1981).
The fasting which you are doing in eating
fish, instead of meat, is not fasting but abstinence. The
true fast consists in giving up all our sins, but one must
also renounce himself and make the body participate in it. (Bl. 191).
Monthly confession will be a remedy for the
Church in the west. Whole sections of the Church could be
cured, if the
believers would go to confession once a month. (Bl. 224).
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31ST 1983
To Jelena:
For you, I only wish that this new year will
really be a holy one. On this day, go then, to confession, and
purify yourself in this new year. (Ba.
55).
She asks the group to continue to pray for the
Bishop. (Ba 55)
SUNDAY, JANUARY 1ST 1984
My children, pray! I say again, pray, because
prayer is indispensable to life. (Ba.
55).
THE BEGINNING OF 1984
For the intention of the pilgrims:
When you are in the room of the apparitions or
at the church, you should not preoccupy yourself with taking
pictures. You should rather use the time to pray to Jesus,
especially in those moments of particular grace during the
apparitions. (T.58).
MONDAY, JANUARY 2ND 1984
Why have you stopped saying the prayer to the
Holy Spirit. I have asked you to pray always and at all times
so that the Holy Spirit may descend over all of you. Begin
again to pray for that.
"We had stopped saying the prayer to the Holy
Spirit thinking that it was said only until Christmas." (Ba.55).
TUESDAY, JANUARY 3RD 1984
My children, pray; I say it again, pray! Know
that in your life the most important thing is prayer. (J).
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4TH 1984
Before all, pray! That, I do not cease to ask
you for. (J).
SUNDAY, JANUARY 8TH 1984 (Feast of the Epiphany)
My children, pray! I say it again, pray! I
will say it to you again. Do not think that Jesus is going to
manifest Himself again in the manger; friends, He is born
again in your hearts. (DN 1, 30).
SUNDAY, JANUARY 15TH 1984
I know that I speak to you very often about
prayer, but know that there are many people in the world who
do not pray; who do not even know what to say, in prayer. (J).
TUESDAY, JANUARY 17TH 1984
Pray and fast! I wish that in your hearts
prayer and fasting flourish. (J).
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18TH 1984
I wish to engrave in every heart the sign of
love. If you love all mankind, then there is peace in you. If
you are at peace with all men, it is the kingdom of love. (DN 1, 30).
To Jelena:
Pray and fast!
For the intention of the group:
Have everyone get up early, some to go to
school, others to go to work, still others to help the poor
like themselves, also those who need help. (J).
THURSDAY, JANUARY 19TH 1984
Pray and fast, because without prayer you
cannot do anything. (Ba55).
SATURDAY, JANUARY 21ST 1984
Pray and fast. Do not give up on meditation.
At home meditate at least half an hour. (Ba55).
SUNDAY, JANUARY 22ND 1984
Pray and fast. I permit all those who mortify
themselves, to do it at the most three times a week. May they
not prolong it. (Ba56).
MONDAY, JANUARY 23RD 1984
Pray and fast. You have not understood well,
what it means to pray: If you can understand that, I desire it
very much. (Ba56).
TUESDAY, JANUARY 24TH 1984
Pray very much. I desire to permeate you with
prayer. (Ba56)
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25TH 1984
Pray and fast. You need enthusiasm in your
prayer. May you pray in meditation for a long time and
fervently (Ba56).
THURSDAY, JANUARY 26TH 1984
Thank you for adoring my Son in the Sacred
Host. That touches me very much. With respect to you, pray! I
desire to see you happy. (Ba56).
FRIDAY, JANUARY 27TH 1984
Pray and fast. I wish that you deepen and
continue your life in prayer. Every morning say the prayer of
consecration to the Heart of Mary. Do it in the family. Recite
each morning the Angelus, five Our Father's, Hail Mary's, and
Glory Be's in honor of the holy Passion and a sixth one for
our Holy Father, the Pope. Then say the Creed and the prayer
to the Holy Spirit. And, if it is possible, it would be well
to pray a rosary. (Ba56).
SATURDAY, JANUARY 28TH 1984
I wish that all of you pray, and that my heart
extend to the whole world. I wish to be with you. (Ba57).
SUNDAY, JANUARY 29TH 1984
Pray and fast! I wish for you to purify your
hearts. Purify them and open them to me. (Ba57).
MONDAY, JANUARY 30TH 1984
Pray! I desire to purify your hearts. Pray It
is indispensable, because God gives you the greatest graces
when you pray. (Ba57).
TUESDAY, JANUARY 31ST 1984
To Jelena:
Pray! Do not think of anything, pray. Do not
think of anything else except of those for whom you pray. Then
prayer will be better and you will be faithful to it.
To the group:
Continue to help the poor, the sick, and to
pray for the dead. You should not feel any fear. Let all free
themselves completely and let them abandon their hearts to me
so that I can be with them. Have them listen to me and
discover me in the poor, and in every person. (Ba57).
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1ST 1984
It is raining at this time, and you say: 'It
is not reasonable to go to church in this slush. Why is it
raining so much? Why doesn 't the rain stop?' Do not ever speak like that. You
have not ceased to pray so that God may send you rain which
makes the earth rich. Then, do not turn against the blessing
from God. Above all, thank him through prayer and fasting. (Ba 57).
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND 1984
Pray, because I need many prayers. Be
reconciled, because I desire reconciliation among you and more
love for each other, like brothers. I wish that prayer, peace,
and love bloom in you. (Ba57).
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3RD 1984
To Jelena:
It is up to you to pray and I will take care of
the rest. You can not even imagine how powerful God is. That
is why you pray. Pray because he wants to be with you and
wants to cleanse you from all sin.
Our Lady gave this message on the request that we
address her on the arrival of a document from the Bishop. (Jan.
13, 1984) Reference
54-84: "The matter of the diary of Vicka Ivankovic on
the apparitions," asking Mary, consequently, what we should do.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4TH 1984
Pray, because prayer is very necessary to you.
With prayer. your body and soul will find peace. There are
some young people who have consecrated themselves to me. But
there are in the parish, some persons, who have not entirely
given themselves.
As soon as mass has ended, they are in a hurry
to leave the church. That is not good. That way they will
never be able to give themselves completely It is not good for
them to linger about the church. One must be pious and set a
good example for others, in order to awaken in them the faith.
It is necessary to pray as much as possible while offering
your heart. They should consecrate themselves in order to
become truly better. (Ba5 8).
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5TH 1984
Pray and fast. I desire to live in your
hearts.
And especially for the prayer group:
Some of them still have a week of rest. They do
not fast ... others have come here and fast on Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday; others help the poor and the sick;
others love everybody and want to discover Jesus in each one.
Some are not convinced, others are. They are mine. See how
they honor me. Lead them to me so that I may bless them. (Ba59).
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6TH 1984
Pray, pray, I ask of you. (Ba59).
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8TH 1984
To Jelena:
From you, I expect only prayer. Thus, pray. (Ba59).
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9TH 1984
Pray, pray! How many persons have followed
other beliefs or sects and have abandoned Jesus Christ. They
create their own gods; they adore idols. How that hurts me! If
they could be converted. Like the unbelievers, they are many.
That will change only if you help me with your prayers. (Ba59).
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10TH 1984
Pray and fast! I desire humility from you. But
you can become humble only through prayer and fasting. (Ba59).
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11TH 1984
Open your hearts to me, I desire to bless them
fully. (Ba59).
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 12TH 1984
Pray and fast! I ask of you. Pray for the
peace and humility of your hearts. (Ba59).
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13TH 1984
To Jelena:
Fast and pray! Give me your hearts. I desire to
change them completely I desire for them to be pure. (Ba60).
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14TH 1984
Pray and fast! I desire to purify your hearts
completely. I wish to make you happy. (Ba60).
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15TH 1984
In very cold weather and an icy wind:
The wind is my sign. I will come in the wind.
When the wind blows, know that Jam with you. You have learned
that the cross represents Christ; it is a sign of him. It is
the same for the crucifix you have in your home. For me, it is
not the same. When it is cold, you come to church, you want to
offer everything to God. I am, then, with you. I am with you
in the wind. Do not be afraid. (Ba60).
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17TH 1984
My children, pray! The world has been drawn
into a great whirlpool. It does not know what it is doing. It
does not realize in what sense it is sinking. It needs your
prayers so that I can pull it out of this danger. (Ba60).
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 20TH 1984
Pray and fast! I desire to purify you and to
save you. For that, help me with your prayers. (Ba60).
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21ST 1984
Pray and fast! I expect generosity and prayers
from your hearts. (Ba60).
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD 1984
I hold all of you in my arms. You are mine. I
need your prayers so that you may be mine. I desire to be all
yours and for you to be all mine. I receive all your prayers.
I receive them with joy. (Ba6l).
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24TH 1984
Pray and fast! I desire to be with you always.
I desire to stay in your hearts always and for you to stay in
mine. (Ba6l).
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25TH 1984
Know that I love all of you. Know that you are
all mine. To no one do I desire to give more than to you. Come
to me all of you. Stay with me. I want to be your Mother.
Come, I desire all of you. (J).
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 26TH 1984
Pray and fast! Know that I love you. I hold
all of you on my knees. (J).
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27TH 1984
Do not be tired. I desire to be with you. (J).
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28TH 1984
Pray and fast! Love everyone on earth, just as
you love yourselves.
For the intention of the group:
Have each one decide alone. In the meantime, it
would be good, that this week they fast on Thursday. Have them
read the Bible and meditate on it. (J).
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 29TH 1984
Pray! It may seem strange to you that I always
speak of prayer. And yet I say: pray! Why do you hesitate? In
Holy Scripture, you have heard say: 'Do not worry about
tomorrow, each day will have its own worries.' (Mt. 6:34).
Then do not worry about the other days. Be content with
prayer, I your Mother, will take care of the rest. (Ba6l-62).
THURSDAY, MARCH 1ST 1984
Message to Marijana:
Pray and fast. When I tell you to pray, do not
think that you have to pray more, but pray. Let prayer and
faith awaken in your hearts. (Ba62).
To Maria, the first message of Thursday, addressed
to the parish:
Dear children, I have chosen particularly this parish because I wish to guide it; I watch over it with love, I would like for all of you to be mine. I thank you for having responded this evening to my call. I would like for you to be always with me and my Son. Every Thursday I will give a special message for you.
(NB. These messages of Thursday have been widely
disseminated, and have been edited by MM, and in our
translation, in Medjugorje, Paris, DDB, 1987, p.26-90 L3)
Dear children, today I ask you to read the
Bible in your homes, every day. Put it in a very visible place
in your home, that way it will encourage all to prayer (M53).
Thursday (day of the Eucharist), may each one
find his way to fast; he who smokes, may abstain from smoking;
he who drinks alcohol, have him not drink. Have each one give
up something which is dear to him. May these recommendations
be conveyed to the parish. (DN 1,
31).
To Jelena:
Each Thursday, read again the passage of
Matthew 6, 24-34, before the most Blessed Sacrament, or if it
is not possible to come to church, do it with your family. (F2, 104).
MONDAY, MARCH 5TH 1984
To Jelena:
Pray and fast! Ask the Holy Spirit to renew
your souls, to renew the entire world. (DN 1 31).
THURSDAY, MARCH 8TH 1984
Message to the parish:
Dear children, be converted in the parish. It
is my second wish. Thus all those who will come here will be
able to be converted. Thank you for having responded to my
call.
LENT 1984 (March 7 - April 22)
Do not be afraid for yourselves, you are
already saved. Pray rather for those who are in sin and who do
not believe. (T.57).
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14TH 1984
Pray and fast so that the kingdom of God may
come among you. Let my Son set you aglow with His fire. (DN 1,31).
THURSDAY, MARCH 15TH 1984
To Maria, for the parish:
This evening, dear children, I am particularly
grateful to you for your presence. Adore continuously, the
Most Blessed Sacrament. I am always present when Christians
are in adoration. They then receive some particular graces. (DN 5, 75).
Dear children, pray! All agitation comes from
Satan. Your prayer should lead to peace. (BN 18,22).
SATURDAY, MARCH 17TH 1984
To Jelena, during the novena in preparation for
the Annunciation:
Pray and fast, so that during this novena, God
will fill you with His power. (DN
1,31).
MONDAY, MARCH 19TH 1984
Dear children, sympathize with me! Pray, pray,
pray! (B.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21ST 1984
To Jelena:
Today I rejoice with all my angels. The first
part of my program has been achieved.
Then, while crying:
There are so many men who live in sin. Here
there are likewise among you some people who have offended my
heart. Pray and fast for them. (BN
18,22).
THURSDAY, MARCH 22ND 1984
Message for the parish:
Dear children, this evening I ask you in a
special way during this Lenten season, to honor the wounds
which my Son has received from this parish. Unite yourselves
to my prayers for the intention of this parish, so that its
sufferings become tolerable. Thank you for responding to my
call. (F2, 123).
Pray each day the 'Veni Creator Spiritus' (Come
Holy Ghost) and the 'Angelus.' God has given each one the will
to decide for himself My wish is for all to be converted, but
I do not want to force anyone. (BN
18,22).
To Jelena:
Yesterday evening I said that the first wish of
my plan, was realized. (DN 1,31).
SUNDAY, MARCH 25TH 1984 (Annunciation)
The 1,000th apparition at Medjugorje.
Rejoice with me and with my angels because a
part of my plan has already been realized. Many have been
converted, but many do not want to be converted. Pray.
After these words, the Blessed Virgin began to
cry. (C.148).
TUESDAY, MARCH 27TH 1984
To Jelena:
In the group, some have given themselves up to
God so that He may guide them. Let the will of God be realized
in you. (DN 1,31).
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28TH 1984
Many persons come here out of curiosity and
not as pilgrims. (BN 18,23).
THURSDAY, MARCH 29TH 1984
A message for the parish:
Dear children, this evening I would like to
invite you to persevere in your trials. Even today the All
Powerful suffers because of your sins. When sufferings occur,
offer them as a sacrifice to God. (DN
5,76).
FRIDAY, MARCH 30TH 1984
I wish that your hearts would be united to mine, like my heart is united to that of my Son. (DN 1,32).
To Jelena:
My children, I wish that the holy mass be for
you the gift of the day Attend it, wish for it to begin. Jesus
gives Himself to you during the mass. Thus, look forward to
that moment when you are cleansed. Pray very much so that the
Holy Spirit will renew your parish. If people attend mass with
lukewarmness, they will return to their homes cold, and with
an empty heart. (DN 1,31-32).
TUESDAY, APRIL 3RD 1984
To Jelena:
I ask for you to pray for the conversion of all
men. For that, I need your prayers. (DN 1,32).
THURSDAY, APRIL 5TH 1984
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children, this evening I ask you very
specially, to venerate the heart of my Son, Jesus. Make
reparation for the injury inflicted on the Heart of my Son.
This heart has been wounded through all kinds of sin.
If you would be strong in the faith, Satan
would not be able to do anything against you. Begin to walk
the path of my messages. Be converted, be converted, be
converted. (BN 18,23).
SUNDAY, APRIL 8TH 1984
I ask you to pray for the conversion of
everyone. For that, I need your prayers. (M 29).
THURSDAY, APRIL 12TH 1984
A message for the parish:
Dear children, this evening I ask you to stop
your slandering and to pray for unity, because my Son and I
have a special project for this parish.
Prepare yourselves in a special way for Holy
Saturday. (BN 18,24).
SATURDAY, APRIL 14TH 1984
To Jelena:
How can you not be happy? Jesus gives Himself
to you. I wish to inundate souls. If! am sad this evening, the
reason is that many have not prepared themselves for Easter.
They do not permit Jesus on that day, to unite Himself to
their souls. (L 2, 138).
HOLY WEEK APRIL 15TH-22ND 1984
To Jelena:
Raise your hands and open your hearts. Now, at
the time of the Resurrection, Jesus wishes to give you a
special gift. This gift of my Son is my gift. Here it is. You
will be subjected to trials and you will endure them with
great ease. We will be ready to show you how to escape from
them if you accept us. Do not say that the Holy Year has ended
and that there is no need to pray. On the contrary, double
your prayers, because the Holy Year is just another step
ahead.
At this time, the risen Jesus appeared. Rays of
light came forth from His wounds. He said:
Receive my graces and tell the whole world that there is no happiness except through Me. (M 29).
HOLY THURSDAY, APRIL 19TH 1984
Message for the parish:
Dear children, share my compassion; pray, pray,
pray!
To Jelena:
I'm going to reveal a spiritual secret to you:
if you want to be stronger than evil, make yourself a plan of
personal prayer Take a certain time in the morning, read a
text from Holy Scripture, anchor the Divine word in your
heart, and strive to live it during the day, particularly
during the moment of trials. In this way, you will be stronger
than evil. (Bl. 186).
That same day, the Blessed Virgin had "dictated"
to Jelena the following prayer:
HOW TO GIVE ONESELF TO MARY MOTHER OF GOODNESS, OF LOVE AND OF MERCY
Oh my Mother!
Mother of goodness, love and mercy!
I love you immensely, and I offer myself to you.
Through your goodness, your love,
And your mercy, save me!
I wish to be yours.
I love you immensely
And I wish that you protect me.
In my heart, oh mother of goodness,
Give me your goodness,
So that I go to Heaven.
I ask you for your immense love
That you may give me the grace
That I will be able to love each one
Just like you loved Jesus Christ.
I ask you in grace
That I be able to be merciful1 to you.
I offer myself completely to you
And I wish that you will be with me at each
step,
Because you are full of grace.
I wish never to forget your grace,
And if I should lose it,
I will ask, make me find it again. Amen.
1. It is an ambiguous and confusing expression on which one has commented in different ways. According to Fr. Slavko, it means: "That I know how to love your will when it differs from mine."
To T. Vlasic' question, asked by Jelena:
"How could Jesus pray all night?" "With what
method?"
He had a great longing for God and for the salvation of souls. (T. Vlasic, June 1, 1984, VB 1, 39, often taken up subsequently).
If you want to be stronger against evil, have
an active conscience. For that, pray very much in the morning
and read a passage from the Gospel. Plant the Divine Word in
your heart and live it during the day, in this special way, in
trials and in the evening, you will be very strong. (T.
Vlasic, Aug.
3, 1984).
GOOD FRIDAY, APRIL 20TH 1984
To Jelena:
You should be filled with joy. Today, Jesus
died for your salvation. He descends into Hell and opens the
gates of paradise. Let joy reign in your hearts!
When you pray, seek the advantage of prayer.
Prayer is a conversation with God. To pray means to listen to
the Lord. Prayer is for me a service, because after it all
things become clear. Prayer leads to knowing happiness.
HOLY SATURDAY, APRIL 21ST 1984
To Jelena:
Raise your hands, yearn for Jesus because in
his Resurrection, he wants to fill you with graces. Be
enthusiastic about the Resurrection. All of us in Heaven are
happy, but we seek the joy of your hearts. My Son's gift and
mine, at this moment is this: you will be comforted in your
trials, they will be easier for you because we will be close
to you. If you listen to us, we will show you how to overcome
them.
Pray very much tomorrow. May Jesus truly rise
in your families, that peace be established there, where there
are wars. I wish that someone is born again in your hearts. My
children, I thank you. Continue to bring about the
Resurrection of Jesus in all men. The Holy Year has ended, but
it represents only a step in our life. Continue to pray. (BN 18,24).
EASTER SUNDAY, APRIL 22ND 1984
We all rejoice in Heaven. Rejoice with us. (DN 1,27).
MONDAY, APRIL 23RD 1984
There is no need to give more information to
the people, they already know what they are supposed to do. (T. Vlasic, Aug. 12, 1984 VB 1, 861).
TUESDAY, APRIL 24TH 1984
With sadness and with tears:
So many people, after they have begun here to
pray, to be converted, to fast, and do penitence, quickly
forget when they return home, and return to their bad habits.
(DN 1,27).
The information suffices. People already know
enough. Tell them this place is a place of prayer. Pray as
much as you can, pray however you can, but pray more always.
Each of you could pray even four hours a day. But I know that
many do not understand because they think only of living for
their work.
T. Vlasic then had this conveyed to Our Lady: "If
I tell this to the people, then they will go away completely."
Even you do not understand. It is hardly a
sixth of your day. (T. Vlasic, May 26, 1984, VB
1, 30).
To Jelena:
Many times, confronting justice and confronting
your sins, many times I returned from your home in tears. I
could not say a single word. I am your Mother and I do not
want to oppose you. But on you, will depend what I wish to do,
in you.
We must rejoice in Jesus, to make Him happy. (Tk. Vlasic, Nov. 10, 1984, VB 1, 128).
THURSDAY, APRIL 26TH 1984
MONDAY, APRIL 30TH 1984
Maria asks the reason for there not being a message last
Thursday:
I had a special message for the parish so as to
awaken the faith of all the believers. In the meantime, I do
not want to force anyone to whatever it
may be which would not be felt or
desired. Not all have accepted the Thursday messages. At the
beginning there were more.
But now it seems that all that has become
common place to them. And recently, some have asked for the
message, only out of curiosity, and not with faith and piety
to my Son and me. (F 2,110).
THURSDAY, MAY 3RD 1984
THURSDAY, MAY 10TH 1984
The absence of a message, the 26th of April, and
again the 3rd of May, had been reported in the same way as the
explanation of April 30th. The response was quick in coming:
I address you the words, and I will continue to
do so. But listen to these instructions.
THURSDAY, MAY 17TH 1984
To Maria for the parish:
I am happy today because many of you have
desired to consecrate yourselves to me. I thank you for it. You have not been
mistaken. My Son Jesus Christ wants, through my intercession,
to extend the graces of predilection over you. He rejoices
that you are consecrating yourselves to Him.
SATURDAY, MAY 19TH 1984
To Jelena:
Dear children, at this time it is especially
necessary for you to consecrate yourselves to me and to my
heart. Love, pray and fast.
MONDAY, MAY 21ST 1984
To Jelena:
O dear children, how I wish that you would turn
to me. Imagine my little children that it is the end of the
school year and you have reached halfway That is why now you
must become a little more serious. (Ba 62).
WEDNESDAY, MAY 23RD 1984
To Jelena:
I wish that the parish prepare itself through a
novena, to receive the sacrament of Confirmation on the day of
the feast of the Ascension. (which
will take place May 31). (M. 30).
THURSDAY, MAY 24TH 1984
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children, I have already said it to you; I have chosen you
in a special way, just as you are. I am your mother; I love
all of you. At every moment, when you have difficulties, do
not be afraid because I love you, even when you are far from
me and my Son.
I ask you not to permit my heart to cry with
tears of blood, because of souls who are lost through sin.
That is why dear children, pray, pray, pray!
FRIDAY, MAY 25TH 1984
To Jelena:
I truly wish that you would be pure on the day
of Pentecost. Pray, pray that your spirit be changed on that
day. (Ba 62).
SATURDAY, MAY 26TH 1984
To Jelena:
Dear children, thank you for every prayer Try
to pray continuously, and do not forget that I love you and
wish that all of you would love one another.
To Jelena, who is requested to ask questions of
the Blessed Mother:
For all of these questions, there is an answer:
pray to the Holy Spirit so that He may enlighten you, and you
will come to know all that you wish. (Ba 63).
MONDAY, MAY 28TH 1984
To Jelena:
Love is a gift from God. Pray then, that God
may give you the gift to love. (Ba
62).
WEDNESDAY, MAY 30TH 1984
To Jelena:
The priests should visit families, more
particularly those who do not practice anymore, and who have
forgotten God. Priests should carry the Gospel of Jesus to the
people, and teach them the way of prayer. And the priests
themselves, should pray more and even fast. They should give
to the poor, what they don 't need. (T 64).
THURSDAY, MAY 31ST 1984 (Feast of the Ascension)
To Maria, for the parish:
I will give you the message for the parish,
Saturday, June 2nd. It should be announced on Sunday.
MAY 1984
To Jelena, after inquiring about August 5th,
1984, if they would be celebrating her two thousandth birthday:
Throughout the centuries, I have given myself
completely to you. Is it too much to give me, three days? Do
not work on those days. Take your rosaries and pray. Fasting
has been forgotten during the last quarter of the century,
within the Catholic Church. (T.
57).
Jelena: "I know that all families can pray
four hours a day. But, if I tell that to people, they will back
out."
Don 't you understand, that it is only one-sixth of the
day? (F2, 113).
FRIDAY, JUNE 1ST 1984
To Jelena:
May the love of God be always in you, because
without it, you cannot be fully converted. Let the rosary in
your hands make you think of Jesus.
Dear children, strive to be absorbed in mass,
just as you should. (J).
SATURDAY, JUNE 2ND 1984
To Maria, for the parish (a message which had
been anticipated: it will not be given Thursday, June 7th)
Dear children, this evening I recommend to you
the novena (of Pentecost). Pray for the outpouring of the Holy
Spirit on all your families, and on your parish. Pray and you
will not be sorry for it. God will bestow His gifts on you,
thanks to the fact that you will be glorifying Him until the
end of your life. (F2, 124).
To Jelena:
Thank you for every prayer. Continue to pray,
but pray with the heart. Dear children, again it is necessary
for you to pray to the Holy Spirit and it would be good for
you to pray seven 'Our Fathers,' in the church, as one does it
for Pentecost. (J).
During the novena, in preparation for Pentecost,
the priest who leads the prayer, makes a brief introduction
before each "Our Father" to ask for the seven gifts of the Holy
Spirit.
MONDAY, JUNE 4TH 1984
Dear children, I am happy that you have begun
to pray as I requested of you. Continue. (Ba 63).
FRIDAY, JUNE 8TH 1984
To Jelena:
Dear children, you need love. Ihave said it to
you many times, and I remind you. Continue only to pray and be
happy because I am with you. (J).
SATURDAY, JUNE 9TH 1984 (Vigil of Pentecost)
Tomorrow evening, pray to receive the spirit
of truth. More particularly, you, members of this parish. The
spirit of truth is indispensable to you in order to convey the
messages, such as I give them to you, without adding or
deleting whatever it may be. Pray, so that the Holy Spirit
inspires you, a spirit of prayer, so that you may pray more. I
your mother, find that you pray too little.
MONDAY, JUNE 11TH 1984
To Jelena:
I wish that you continue to pray and to fast.
To the group:
I wish that you would become like a flower in
the spring. The love which I give you is great, but sometimes
you reject it, and thus, it becomes less. Always accept
immediately, the gifts which I give you, so that you can
profit from them. (J).
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13TH 1984
Dear children, I invite you to pray more, you
and the entire parish, until the day of the anniversary. Let
your prayer become a sign of offering to God. Dear children, I
know that you are all tired. You do not know how to offer
yourselves to me. Offer yourselves completely to me these
days. (Bl. 141).
THURSDAY, JUNE 14TH 1984
No "Thursday message" to the parish. (BN 18, 26 indicated one, though with some confusion).
Pray, Pray!
MIDDLE OF JUNE, 1984
To Jelena:
Prepare yourselves through prayer, for the
third anniversary of the beginning of the apparitions. June
25th should be celebrated as the Feast of Mary, 'Queen of
Peace.' (M30).
THURSDAY, JUNE 21ST 1984
To Maria, for the parish:
Pray pray, pray! Thank you for having responded
to my call.
To Jelena:
If you knew how much I love you, you would cry
with joy. When anyone is before you, and asks you something,
you will give it to him. lam before so many hearts, but they
remain closed. Pray so that the world receives my love. (BN 18,24).
Each member of the group is like aflower; and
if someone tries to crush you, you will grow and will try to
grow even more. If someone crushes you a little, you will
recover. And if someone pulls a petal, continue to grow as
though you were complete.
To Marijana:
My only wish is that you become as joyful and
enthusiastic as you were during the first days of my
apparitions. (Ba 64).
SATURDAY, JUNE 23RD 1984
Dear children, lam very happy that there are
so many people here this evening. Thank God alone. (Ba).
After Easter, Our Lady does not speak to Jelena or
Marijana every day, but specially on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Saturday and Sunday.
SUNDAY, JUNE 24TH 1984 (Feast of Corpus Christi)
Third anniversary of the apparitions.
My Children, I thank you for each sacrifice
that you have made during these days. Be converted, forgive
each other, fast, pray, pray, pray! (C. 149).
MONDAY JUNE 25TH 1984
Thank you for all your sacrifices. (DN 1,27).
TUESDAY, JUNE 26TH 1984
When I say pray, pray, pray, I do not want to
say to only increase the number of hours of prayer, but also
to reinforce the desire for prayer, and to be in contact with
God. Place yourself permanently in a state of spirit bathed in
prayer. (F2, 112).
THURSDAY, JUNE 28TH 1984
No Thursday message to the parish.
THURSDAY, JULY 5TH 1984
Message to the parish:
Always pray before your
work and end it with prayer. If you do that, God will bless
you and your work. These last days, you have prayed little and
worked very much. Pray more. In prayer, you will find repose.
THURSDAY, JULY 12TH 1984
Message for the Parish:
Dear children, in these days, Satan wants to
destroy all my plans. Pray with me so that his design will not
be realized. I will pray to my Son, Jesus, so that He may give
you the grace to experience His victory over Satan 's
temptations.
MONDAY, JULY 16TH 1984
I pray for the priests and the parishioners,
that no one may be troubled. I know the changes which will
take place soon, (in the parish clergy). At the time
of the changes, I will be there. Also, do not be afraid, there
will be in the future, signs concerning sinners, unbelievers,
alcoholics and young people. They will accept me again.
(T 42).
THURSDAY, JULY 19TH 1984
Message for the parish:
Dear children, these last days, you have
experienced the work of Satan. I am with you always. Do not be
afraid of these temptations. God watches over you always. I am
with you in the least of trials.
FRIDAY, JULY 20TH 1984
Late in the evening, on the hill of the
apparitions:
Open your hearts to me, come close. Say in a
loud voice, your intentions, and your prayers.
The Blessed Virgin paid close attention to the
prayers of the seers. When they prayed for the Bishop of Mostar,
her eyes were filled with tears. While crying, she tells them:
You are my little flowers. Continue to pray my
task is lighter because of it.
She disappeared into Heaven, as she continued to
cry, after she had blessed everyone with a crucifix. (T. 43).
THURSDAY, JULY 26TH 1984
A message to the parish:
Dear children! Today also I would like to call
you to persistent prayer and penance. Especially, let the
young people of this parish be more active in their prayers.
AT THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST 1984
To Jelena:
This message is dedicated to the Pope and to
all Christians. Prepare the second millennium of my birth
which will take place August 5th, 1984 Throughout the
centuries, I consecrated my entire life to you. Is it too much
for you to consecrate three days for me? Do not work, on that
day, but take up the rosary and pray. (M. 30).
THURSDAY, AUGUST 2ND 1984
A message to the parish:
Dear children! Today I am happy and I thank you
for your prayers. Pray more these days for the conversion of
sinners.
For the presentation of Mary's second millennium.
Dear children! Pray as much as possible. Pray at least the
entire rosary every day. Fast on bread and water on Wednesdays
and Fridays. (BN 18, 27).
To Jelena:
I am happy for your participation at Mass.
Continue as you did this evening. Thank you for having
resisted the temptation of Satan. (DN
1,33).
SUNDAY, AUGUST 5TH 1984
The celebration of the second millennium of
Mary's birthday was preceded by three days of fasting and
continuous prayer. Seventy priests heard confessions without
respite; there were conversions in great numbers.
Never in my life have I cried with sorrow, as I
have cried this evening with joy. Thank you! (RN 18,27).
In anticipation of this day the Gospa had said:
The priest who will hear confession will have
great joy on that day.
During these 3 days of fasting and continuous
prayer the seers say the Blessed Virgin was "very joyful," and
she repeated:
I am very happy, continue, continue. Continue
to pray and to fast.
Her joy seemed to have reached a peak Sunday,
August 5th. Like a flower when it blooms, and full of joy, she
said:
Continue, continue, open your hearts, ask God
and I will ask for you. (T.
Vlasic, Aug. 6, 1984, VB. 1,761).
MONDAY, AUGUST 6TH 1984
Continue and make me happy each day. (T. Vlasic, Aug. 7, 1984, VB 1,79).

plans. Pray, pray, pray! In prayer, abandon yourselves to God.
Pray with the heart. Thank you for your response to my call.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 11TH 1984
Dear children!
Pray, because Satan is continually trying to
thwart my plans. Pray with your heart and in prayer give
yourselves up to Jesus. (F2, 118).
TUESDAY, AUGUST 14TH 1984
To Ivan, at the time of an unexpected apparition,
at his home:
I ask the people to pray with me these days, as

Every day, at least one rosary, Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious
mysteries. (C.150).

members of this parish, to live my messages and to tell them
to whomever you meet.

especially the young people, behave in a worthy manner during
holy mass.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 25TH 1984
To Mirjana:
Wait for me September 13th, I will speak to you
about the future. (DN 3,12).
THURSDAY, AUGUST 30TH 1984
Message to the parish, with respect to the
cross erected on Mount Krizevac in 1933, for the 1950th
anniversary of the death and resurrection of Jesus:
Dear children! The cross was in God's plan when
you built it. These days especially, go up on the mountain and
pray at the foot of the cross. I need your prayers.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 31ST 1984
I love very specially the cross which you have
providentially erected on Mount Krizevac. Go there more often
and pray. (Bl.34).
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH 1984
Message to the parish:
Dear children! Without prayer there is no peace.
For that reason, I say to you; dear children, pray at the foot
of the cross for peace.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH 1984
To Jelena:
Dear children, you must understand that one has
to pray. Prayer is no joke, prayer is a conversation with God.
In every prayer you must listen to the voice of God. Without
prayer one can not live. Prayer is life. (T. Vlasic, November 10. 1984; VB. 1, 130).
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH 1984
Message for the parish:
Dear children! I continually need your prayers.
You wonder what all these prayers are for. Look around, dear
children, and you will see how much ground sin has gained in
this world. Because of that, pray that Jesus conquers.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH 1984
Message for the parish:
Dear children! Today I ask you to start fasting,
putting your heart in it. There are many people who fast only
because everyone else is fasting. It has become a custom which
no one wants to stop. I ask the parish to fast out of
gratitude to God for allowing me to remain so long in this
parish. Dear children, fast and pray with your heart.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH 1984
Message for the parish:
Dear children! Your prayer has helped my plans
to be fulfilled. Pray continually for their complete
fulfillment. I beg the families of the parish to pray the
family rosary.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4TH 1984
Message for the parish:
Dear children! Today I would like to tell you
that your prayers delight me, but there are some people in the
parish who do not pray and for that my heart is sad. Pray,
therefore, that I may bring all your sacrifices and prayers to
the Lord.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5TH 1984
To Jelena:
I love you. Love me, love one another. (DN 1,33).
MONDAY, OCTOBER 8TH 1984
Let all the prayers that you say in the
evening in your homes, be for the conversion of sinners,
because the world is truly in sin. Recite the rosary every
evening. (F2, 106).
Jakov was sick that day and received this
message at his home:
Dear children! All the prayers which you recite
in the evening in your homes, dedicate them to the conversion
of sinners because the world is immersed in a great moral
decay. Recite the rosary each evening. (M.36).
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11TH 1984
Message for the parish:
Dear children! Thank you for offering all your
afflictions to God, even at this time when He is trying your
patience as you reap your crops. (Our Lady is alluding to
prolonged rain which came in the middle of the harvesting and
caused great damage.) Be aware, dear children, that He loves
you and that it is for that reason that He tests you. Always
present your burdens to God and do not worry.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13TH 1984
For the priests of the Marian Movement of
Priests:
A message to you and to all those who love me.
Dear children, pray unceasingly and ask the Holy Spirit to
inspire you always. In everything that you ask, in everything
that you do, look only for the will of God. (BN 18,27).
Live according to your convictions and respect
others. (Bl. 221).
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18TH 1984
Dear children! Today I ask you to read the
Bible in your homes every day. Place it in a visible place
there, where it will always remind you to read it and to pray.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20TH 1984
When you pray, you must feel more. Prayer is a
conversation with God. To pray means to listen to God. Prayer
is useful for you because after prayer everything is clear.
Prayer makes one know happiness. Prayer can teach you how to
cry. Prayer can teach how to blossom. Prayer is not a joke.
Prayer is a dialogue with God. (T.
Vlasic, November 10, 1984; VB 1, 125-126).
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24TH 1984
At 10:00 in the evening at Krizevac:
My dear children, I am so happy to see you pray.
Pray with me so that God's plan may be realized, thanks to
your prayers and to mine. Pray more, and more intensely. (T.45).
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25TH 1984
Message for the parish:
Dear children! Pray during this month. God has
allowed me to help you every day with graces, in order to
protect you from evil. This month is mine. I would like to
give it to you. Pray and God will give you the graces that you
ask for. I will support your requests.
OCTOBER 1984
I would like to guide you spiritually, but 1
would not know how to help you, if you are not open. It
suffices for you to think, for example, where you were with
your thoughts yesterday during mass. When you go to mass, your
trip from home to church should be a time of preparation for
mass. You should also receive Holy Communion with an open and
pure heart; purity of heart and openness. Do not leave the
church without an appropriate act of thanksgiving. I can help
you only if you
are accessible to my suggestions; I can not help you if you are not open. (T-59).
The most important in spiritual life is to ask
for the gift of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit comes,
then peace will be established. When that occurs, everything
changes around you. Things will change. (T. 59).
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST 1984
Message for the parish:
Dear children! Today I call you to renew family
prayer in your homes. The field work is over. Now, may all of
you devote yourselves to prayer. Let prayer have first place
in your families. Thank you for your response to my call.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH 1984
Message for the parish:
Dear children! You are not aware of the
importance of the messages which God is sending you through
me. He is giving you great graces and you do not realize it.
Pray to the Holy Spirit for enlightenment. If only you knew
how many graces God is giving you, you would pray without
ceasing.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15TH 1984
Message for the parish:
Dear children! You are a chosen people and God
has given you great graces. You do not realize the importance
of every message lam giving you. Now I only wish to say: Pray,
pray, pray! I do not know what else to tell you because I love
you and wish that in prayer you come to know my love and the
love of God.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17TH 1984
To Jelena:
Pray. Do not ask yourself about the reason why
I constantly invite you to prayer. Intensify your personal
prayer so that it will become a channel for the others. (BN 18, 30).
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22ND 1984
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! These days, live all of my
messages and continue to root them in your hearts this week.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29TH 1984
Message for the parish:
Dear children! You do not yet know how to love,
nor do you listen with love to the words I am giving you. Be
assured, my beloved ones, that I am your Mother, and that I
have come on earth to teach you how to listen with love, how
to pray with love, and not be compelled by the cross you are
carrying. Through the cross, God is glorified in every person.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 1984
Message for the parish:
Dear children! These days, I am calling you to
family prayer. Many times, I have given you messages in God's
name, but you have not listened. This Christmas will be an
unforgettable day for you, provided you accept the messages I
am giving you. Dear children, do not allow that day of joy, to
be a day of deepest sorrow for me.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13TH 1984
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! You know that the day of joy is
coming near, but without love you will obtain nothing.
Therefore, first of all start loving your family and everyone
in the parish. Then you will be able to love and accept all
those who will come here. Let this week be the week of
learning how to love.
This Christmas will be unforgettable if you
follow me. Disconnect your television sets and your radios,
and begin God's programs; meditation, prayer, reading of the
Gospel. Prepare yourselves with faith; then you will have
understood love, your life will be filled with happiness. (BN 18, 31).
MONDAY, DECEMBER 17TH 1984
Message conveyed by the seers to Monsignor
Franic, Archbishop of Split, during a retreat which he is making
at Medjugorje:
You will have to suffer more. (DN 3, 18).
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20TH 1984
To Jelena:
Today I am asking you to do something concrete
for Jesus Christ. On the day of joy, I would like every family
of the parish to bring a flower as a sign of self offering to
Jesus. I would like every member of the family to have a
flower next to the crib, so that Jesus can come and see your
offering of self to Him. (VB
2,16).
To Maria, for the parish:
Today I invite you to show a concrete gesture
for Jesus Christ, I wish that each family in the parish bring
each day a flower, as a sign of surrender to Jesus until
Christmas which is approaching. Have each member of the family
place a flower near the manger; and Jesus, at the time of his
ar rival, will see your love for Him there.
On December 24th the parishioners carried their
flowers near the manger. The whole sanctuary was converted
into a flower bed in blossom.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21ST 1984
Dear children! I would like for all of you to
be like a flower, which is going to open at Christmas for
Jesus; a flower which does not cease to blossom after
Christmas. Be the good shepherds of Jesus. (Bl. 298).
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 25TH 1984
The Virgin did not give a message, but she
appeared holding the Child Jesus in her arms. (DN 5,77).
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27TH 1984
Message for the parish:
Dear children! This Christmas, Satan wanted in
a special way to thwart Gods plans. You, dear children,
witnessed Satan even on Christmas day. But God conquered in
your hearts. Let your hearts continue to rejoice.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29TH 1984
To Jelena, the anniversary day of her first
apparition.
Today is the feast of the Mother of goodness,
of mercy, and of love.
"And she gave us her blessing saying:"
Up until now I have not given it to you.
"And the group felt strongly changed because
of it."
She motivated them to receive this blessing:
Receive it, do not neglect it as before. I can
give you my blessing, but I cannot give it to you if you do
not want it. (T. Vlasic, Mar. 2,
1985, VB 2,381).
To Jelena:
I wish that a great love, a great peace would
flourish in you. Thus, pray. (Bl.
257).
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2ND 1985
At 11:30 at night at Krizevac, the Virgin
appeared surrounded by five angels:
I am very happy to have been able to come here
for three years, thanks to the prayers of believers. Continue
to pray thusly. A part of my plan has been realized. God
blesses in a special way, all those who are here. You can
return happily to your homes. You do not immediately
understand the reasons. Offer your prayers of thanksgiving for
next week.
(T, 47).
THURSDAY, JANUARY 3RD 1985
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! These days, the Lord granted you
many graces. Let this week be a week of thanksgiving for all
the graces God has granted you. Thank you for having responded
to my call.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9TH 1985
I thank the faithful for having come to church
in very bad and cold weather. (T.
48).
THURSDAY, JANUARY 10TH 1985
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! Today I want to thank you for
all your sacrifices. I thank especially those who come here
gladly, and have become dear to my heart. There are
parishioners who do not listen to my messages; but because of
those who are especially close to my heart, I give messages to
the parish. And I will continue giving them, for I love you
and want you to spread them with love.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 17TH 1985
To Maria, for the parish:
In these days, Satan is fighting deviously
against this parish, and you, dear children, have fallen
asleep in (regard to) prayer. Only some of you are going to
Mass. Persevere in these days of temptation.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 24TH 1985
To Maria. for the parish:
Dear children! These days you have savored the
sweetness of God through the renewal in your parish. Satan
plans to work even more energetically to take the joy away
from each of you. Through prayer, you can totally disarm him
and ensure your happiness.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 31ST 1985
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! Today I want to ask you to open
your hearts to God, just like the flowers in the spring that
yearn for the sun. I am your Mother and I would like you to be
ever closer to the Father, so that he pour gifts into your
hearts abundantly.
JANUARY - FEBRUARY 1985
To Vicka, at the time of a prayer meeting on the
mountain:
My dear children, Satan is strong. He wishes,
with all his strength, to destroy my plans. Pray only, and do
not stop doing it. I will also pray to my Son, so that all the
plans that I have begun will be realized.
Be patient and persevere in prayer. Do not
permit Satan to take away your courage. He works very hard in
the world. Be on your guard. (DN
3,26).
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3RD 1985
I wish for Father Slavko to stay here, for him
to guide the life and to assemble all the news, so that when I
leave there will be a complete image of everything that has
happened here. I am also praying now for Slavko and for all
those who work in this parish. (DN3,
25-26).
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7TH 1985
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! Satan is manifesting himself in
this parish in a particular way these days. Pray, dear
children, that Gods plan be carried out, and that every work
of Satan be turned to the glory of God. I have remained this
long to help you in your great trials.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14TH 1985
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! Today is the day when I give you
the message for the parish, but not everyone in the parish
accepts my messages and lives them. I am sad and I want you,
dear children, to listen to me and to live my messages. Every
family must pray
and read the Bible.
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17TH 1985
Pray, dear children, so that God's plan may be
accomplished, and all the works of Satan be changed in favor
of the glory of God. (F 2, 158).
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20TH 1985 (Ash Wednesday)
To Jelena:
I give you an advice; I would like for you to
try to conquer some fault each day. If your fault is to get
angry at everything, try each day, to get angry less. If your
fault is not to be able to study, try to study. If your fault
is not to be able to obey, or if you cannot stand those who do
not please you, try on a given day, to speak with them. If
your fault is not to be able to stand a proud person, you
should try to approach that person. If you desire that person
to be humble, be humble yourselves. Show that humility is
worth more than pride.
Thus, each day, try to go beyond, and to reject
every vice from your heart. Find out which are the vices that
you most need to reject. During this Lent, you should try and
truly desire to spend it in love. Strive as much as possible. (DN 4bis, 68).
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21ST 1985
A message to the parish:
Day after day I have been appealing to you for
renewal and prayer in the parish. But you are not responding.
Today I am appealing to you for the last time. This is the
season of Lent, and you, as a parish in Lent, should be moved
through love of my appeal to take the first step. If you do
not take this step, I do not want to give you any more
messages. God will allow me not to give you any more.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25TH 1985
To Jelena:
Know that I love you. Know that you are mine. I
do not wish to do anything more for anyone, that I do not wish
to do for you. Come all of you to me. Remain with me and I
will be your Mother always. Come, because I wish to have all
of you. (Bl. 261).
To Maria:
For next week, I invite you to say these words:
'I love God in everything.' With love, one obtains everything.
You can receive many things, even the most impossible. The
Lord wishes for all the parishes to surrender to Him, and I
too, in Him. I desire it. Each evening, make your examination
of conscience, but only to give thanks in acknowledgment for
everything that His love offers us at Medjugorje. (DN 3, 301).
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28TH 1985
Message to the parish:
Today I call you to live these words during
this week: 'I love God.' Dear children, with love, you can
achieve everything, even what appears impossible. God wants
this parish to belong to Him completely. And I wish that too.
FEBRUARY - MARCH 1985
Dear children! You have always prayed that I
not abandon you. Now I ask of you, in turn, not to abandon me.
Satan wants especially during these days to disperse you. For
that, pray very much these days.
Dear children, I came again to thank you. You
have not yet understood what that means. To give joy to my
heart. It is a very great thing. I ask you only to persevere
in prayer. As long as you pray I will have words for you.
Good-bye, I thank you dear children. My love for you is
unlimited; be happy with me, because I am happy with you. (DN 4 bis, 68).
THURSDAY, MARCH 7TH 1985
Message for the parish:
Dear children! Today I invite you to renew
prayer in your families. Dear children, encourage the very
young to pray and to go to holy Mass. (BN 19, 30).
SATURDAY, MARCH 9TH 1985
You can receive a grace immediately, or in a
month, or in ten years. I do not need a hundred or two hundred
'Our Fathers.' It is better to pray only one, but with a
desire to encounter God. You should do everything out of love.
Accept all annoyances, all difficulties, everything, with
love. Dedi cate yourselves to love. (BN 19, 30).
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13TH 1985
Message addressed to Vicka, at a time when a
mistake by Ivan, who was frightened, caused a stir. (Described in detail in DN 4, p. 17-23).
Pray, pray, pray! It is only with prayer that
you will be able to avoid Ivan's error. He should not have
written. And after that had to clearly acknowledge it, so as
not to plant any doubts.
THURSDAY, MARCH 14TH 1985
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! In your life, you have all
experienced light and darkness. God gives every person the
power to recognize good and evil. lam calling you to light,
which you must carry to all those who are in darkness. From
day to day, people who are in darkness come into your houses.
You, dear children, give them light.
MONDAY, MARCH 18TH 1985
To Mirjana:
The rosary is not an ornament for the home, as
one often times limits himself to using it. Tell everyone to
pray it. (DN 4bis, 421).
Right now, many are greatly seeking money, not
only in the parish, but in the whole world. Woe to those who
seek to take everything from those who come, and blessed are
those from whom they take everything. (This relates to the
exploitation of some pilgrims.) (DN
4 bis, 26).
May the priests help you because I have
entrusted to you a heavy burden, and I suffer from your
difficulties. Ivan did not make a big mistake. I have
sufficiently reprimanded him for the error. It is not
necessary to scold him anymore. (Bl
111).
THURSDAY, MARCH 21ST 1985
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! I want to give you the messages. Therefore I
ask you to accept these messages. Dear children, I love you.
In a special way I have chosen this parish which is more dear
to me than any of the others to which I gladly came when the
Almighty sent me. Therefore, dear children, I ask you to
accept me for your well-being. Live the messages.
SUNDAY, MARCH 24TH 1985 (vigil of the Annunciation)
Today I invite all of you to Confession, even
if you have already gone to Confession during the last days. I
wish that you would live my feast in your hearts. You are not
able to, if you do not abandon yourselves completely to the
Lord. It is for this reason that I call all of you to
reconciliation with
the Lord. (DN. 4
bis, 64).
LENT 1985 (February 20-April 6)
To Jelena:
Fast on bread and water during the first week of
the Passion and on Holy Wednesday, Holy Thursday, and Good
Friday. (Bl. 209).
MONDAY, MARCH 25TH 1985 (Feast of the Annunciation)
Through my joy and the joy of this people, I
say to all of you this evening, I love you, and I wish you
well. (DN. 4 his, 64).
Jelena: "Why are you so beautiful?"
I am beautiful because I love. If you want to be
beautiful, love. There is no one in the world who does not
desire beauty. (Bl. 263).
THURSDAY, MARCH 28TH 1985
Message to the parish:
Dear children! Today, I am asking you to pray,
pray, pray. In prayer you will experience great joy and the
solution to every hopeless situation. Thank you for making
progress in prayer. Each one of you belongs to my heart. I am
grateful to all of you who have begun praying in your
families.
To Jelena:
You all know the flowers. A flower must blossom
and each part of the flower is very important. But there is a
moment when the flower must wilt so that the seed can ripen,
and after, when the seed is ripe, other flowers will come.
Jelena did not know how to explain this
parable. But Tomislav Vlasic explained: One finds in it the
whole liturgy of this evening (Saturday, vigil of Palm Sunday);
one must die in order to be able to rise again. We say sometimes
that it is sad that a flower must wilt. But, if it does not
wilt, it is not able to ripen the seed from where the other
flowers come. If it does not die, life can not multiply itself.
(S. Barbaric, April 6, 1985, VB. 2, 801).
THURSDAY, APRIL 4TH 1985 (Holy Thursday)
Message to the parish:
Dear children! I am thankful that you have
begun to reassure more highly in your hearts the glory of God.
Today is the day that I wanted to stop giving messages because
certain people do not accept them. The parish has responded
and I wish to continue to give messages to a degree, such as
has never before been witnessed in the world, since the
beginning of history. Try to remain in my heart. Do not remain
on the side. (T. Vlasic, April 29,
1985; VB 2, 135).
FRIDAY, APRIL 5TH 1985
You, the members of this parish, have a large
and heavy cross to bear. But do not be afraid to carry it. My
Son is here to help you. (DN 4
bis, 65).
On orders from the Bishop (letter of March 25th),
the apparitions, forbidden in every room contiguous to the
Church itself, were transferred to the rectory.
THURSDAY, APRIL 11TH 1985
To Maria, for the parish:
I would like to tell everyone in the parish:
pray especially to be enlightened by the Holy Spirit.
Beginning today, the Lord wants to try the parish in a special
way, in order to strengthen it in faith.
MONDAY, APRIL 15TH 1985
You must begin to work in your hearts as you
work in the field. Work and change your hearts so that the new
spirit of God can dwell there. (C 207)
THURSDAY, APRIL 18TH 1985
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! Today I thank you for the
opening up of your hearts. Joy overwhelms me for every heart
that opens to God, especially in the parish. Rejoice with me.
Pray all the prayers for the opening of sinful hearts. I
desire this. God desires this through me.
THURSDAY, APRIL 25TH 1985
Message for the parish:
Dear children! Today, I invite you to pray with
your heart and not only through habit. Some come here but do
not pray with their hearts. Therefore, as your mother, I beg
you to pray that prayer may prevail in your hearts at every
moment.
THURSDAY, MAY 2ND 1985
Dear children! Today, I invite you to pray
with your heart and not only through habit. Some come here but
do not pray with their hearts. Therefore, as your mother, I
beg you to pray that prayer may prevail in your hearts at
every moment.
FRIDAY, MAY 3RD 1985
To Jelena:
Sometimes prayers said in a loud voice keep
Jesus at a distance, because when men want to conquer with
their own power there is no place for God. Prayers said in a
loud voice are good when they come from the heart. (BN. 19, 33)
TUESDAY, MAY 7TH 1985
Ivanka has a vision at home, which lasts about an
hour:
"the Blessed Virgin was more beautiful than ever
and was accompanied by two angels. She asks me what I wished. I
prayed to her to let me see my mother. The Blessed Virgin smiled
and approved with a nod. My mother appeared to me very soon. She
was smiling. Our Lady told me to stand up. My mother embraced me
then as she said 'My child, I am so proud of you.' She embraced
me again and disappeared. Our Lady said to me then:"
My dear child, today is our last meeting, do not be sad. I will return to see you at each anniversary of the first apparition (June 25), beginning next year. Dear child, do not think that you have done any thing bad, and that this would be the reason why I'm not returning near to you. No, it is not that. With all your heart you have accepted the plans which my Son and I formulated, and you have accomplished everything. No one in the world has had the grace which you, your brothers and sisters have received. Be happy because I am your Mother and I love you from the bottom of my heart. Ivanka, thank you for the response to the call of my Son, thank you for persevering and remaining always with Him as long as He will ask you. Dear child, tell all your friends that my Son and I are always with them when they call on us. What I have told you during these years on the secrets, do not speak to anyone about them.
"Dear Gospa, may I embrace you?"
"The blessed Virgin gives an affirmative sign with
her head. I then embraced her. I asked her to bless me. She did
it with a smile and added:"
Go in the peace of God.
Then she left slowly with the two angels. (F 2, 150-152 and VB 3. 149)
THURSDAY, MAY 9TH 1985
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! You do not know how many graces
God is bestowing upon you. You are not willing to get moving
in these days when the Holy Spirit is working in a special
way; you do not want to advance. Your hearts are turned to
earthly things and you are preoccupied by them. Turn your
hearts to prayer and ask that the Holy Spirit be poured upon
you.
THURSDAY, MAY 16TH 1985
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! I am calling you to more
attentive prayer and to greater participation in the Mass. I
want you to experience God within yourselves at Mass. I want
to tell young people especially, to be open to the Holy
Spirit, because God desires to draw you to Himself during
these days when Satan is active.
To Jelena:
Dear children, at this time I ask you
particularly to consecrate yourselves to me and to my
Immaculate Heart. Love, pray, and fast. (Bl 304).
THURSDAY, MAY 23RD 1985 (day before Pentecost)
Message to the parish:
Dear children, I invite you especially these
days, open your hearts to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit
acts now through you. Open your hearts and offer your life to
Jesus, so that he will act in your hearts and strengthen you
in the faith. Thank you for your response to my call.
Love is a gift from God. Pray so that God may
grant you the gift to be able to love. (Bl 255)
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children, lam calling you again to prayer
of the heart. Let prayer, dear children, be your everyday
food, especially when work in the fields is exhausting you,
and you cannot pray with your heart. Pray, and then you will
overcome every tiredness. Prayer will be your happiness and
rest.
To Jelena:
Always have the love of God in you, because
without this love, you are not able to convert yourselves
completely. Let the rosary be in your hands in memory of
Jesus. Dear children, strive to deepen your knowledge of the
mass as you should. (J).
Dear children, this evening I would like to
tell you to pray more during the novena for an out pouring of
the Holy Spirit, on your families and your parish. Pray, you
will not be sorry for it. God will
present you with gifts for which you are going to glorify Him
all your earthly life.
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! Many people of all nationalities
will come to the parish and now I am calling you to love. Love
first of all the members of your own family and then you might
be able to accept and love all those who are coming.
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children: I am begging you, the people of
this parish, to pray more until the anniversary of the
apparitions. (June 25th). May your prayer be an act of
devotion and commitment to God. I know about your tiredness,
dear children, but you do not know how to give yourselves to
me. These days, I beg you, make an act of total dedication to
me.
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! For the coming feast I want to
say to you:
Open your hearts to the Lord of all hearts! Give
me all your feelings and all your problems. I want to console
you in all your trials. My wish is to fill you completely with
God's peace, joy, and love.
Jelena: The Gospa dictated to me (perhaps, it would be better to say, inspired) this prayer and advised me to recite it in our prayer group:
Oh God, our heart is in deep obscurity,
in spite of our union to Your Heart.
Our heart is struggling between You and Satan;
do not permit it to be in this manner!
Every time that the heart is divided
between good and evil,
let it be enlightened by Your light
and let it be unified.
Never permit,
for there to be able to exist in us two loves,
that there can never co-exist in us two faiths,
and that there can never co-exist in us;
lying and sincerity,
love and hatred,
honesty and dishonesty,
humility and pride.
Help us on the contrary,
so that our hearts may be elevated toward You
just like that of a child.
May our heart be ravished with peace
and continue to always have the nostalgia of it.
May Your Holy will and Your love
find a permanent place in us, that at least
sometimes we would really wish to be Your
children and when, Oh Lord,
we will desire to be Your children,
remember our past desires
and help us to receive You again.
We open our hearts to you
so that Your holy love will remain in us.
We open our souls to you,
so that they may be touched by Your holy mercy
which will help us to see clearly all our sins,
and will make us realize,
that which makes us impure is sin.
God, we want to be Your children,
humble and devout,
to the point of becoming your cherished and
sincere children,
such as only the Father
would be able to desire that we be.
Help us, Jesus our brother,
to obtain the goodness of the Father in our
regard,
and to be good to Him.
Help us Jesus,
to understand well what God gives us,
although sometimes we fail to perform a good
act,
as though it were for us an evil.
(VB 3, 218-219).
Likewise dictated (inspired) to Jelena, with this clause: "Here is the most beautiful prayer that you could recite for a sick person."
O my God
behold this sick person before You.
He has come to ask You
what he wishes
and what he considers as the most important
thing
for him.
You, oh my God,
make these words enter into his heart:
(What is important, is the health of his soul)
Lord, may Your will in everything
take place in his regard, if You want for him to
be cured,
let health be given to him;
but if Your will is something else,
let him continue to bear his cross.
I also pray to You for us,
who intercedes for him;
purify our hearts,
to make us worthy to convey
Your holy Mercy.
Protect him and relieve his pain,
that Your holy will be done in him,
that Your holy name be revealed through him,
help him to bear his cross with courage.
(VB 3, 220-221).
Before this prayer and the preceding one, recite
three times the "Glory Be."
On this anniversary day of the first apparition
on the hill, Maria asks:
"What do you wish from the priests?"
I urge you to ask everyone to pray the rosary.
With the rosary you will overcome all the troubles which Satan
is trying to inflict on the Catholic Church. Let all priests
pray the rosary. Give time to the rosary. (F 2, 118).
To Jelena:
A heart which belongs to the Lord is splendid,
even if it is
flooded with difficulties and trials. But if the heart engaged in
difficulties, strays away from God, it loses its splendor.
(BN 19,34).
To Maria, for the parish:
Today I invite you to humility. These days all
of you have felt a great joy because of all the people who
came here, and to whom you spoke with love about your
experience. With humility and an opening of the heart,
continue to speak with all those who come.
JUNE - 1985
To Jelena:
Dear children, if there is someone and he asks you for something, give
it to him. I too, ask before many hearts, and they do not open
up. Pray so that the world may receive my love. (Bl. 258).
On the hill of the apparitions:
I thank all those who have responded to my
call. I bless all of you, I bless each of you. These days I
ask you to pray for my intentions. Go in the peace of God. (Bl. 183).
Message for the parish:
Dear children, I thank you for each sacrifice
you have made. Now I urge you to offer all your sacrifices
with love.
I want you who are troubled to begin to help
pilgrims with confidence and the Lord will give to you in the
same manner.
Message to the parish:
Dear children! I love your parish and I protect
it under my mantle against every satanic enterprise. Pray that
Satan will flee from your parish and from everyone who comes
to your parish. In that way you will be able to hear each
appeal from God and to respond to it with your life. Thank you
for your response to my call.
Message to the parish:
Dear children! Today I invite you to put more
blessed objects in your home and may every person carry
blessed objects on himself Let everything be blessed. Then,
because you are armored against Satan, he will tempt you less.
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! I want to shepherd you but you
do not want to obey my messages. Today I call you to obey my
messages and then you will be able to live everything that God
tells me to relate to you. Open yourselves to God, and God
will work through you, and give you everything you need.
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! I wish to tell you that I have
chosen this parish. I guard it in my hands like a little
flower that does not want to die. I beg you to give yourselves
to me so that I can offer you as a gift to God, fresh and
without sin. Satan has undertaken one part of my plan and
wants to possess
it. Pray that he does not succeed because I
desire to have you for myself so that I can offer you to God.
Message to Ivan, during an apparition in the
evening, on the mountain of Krizevac, where she came "with
vestments of gold."
Praise be Jesus Christ. My children, I'm happy
to be with you this evening, and to see you so numerous. I
bless you with a special blessing.
After having prayed for a long time and
listened to Ivan who recommended the persons present, she
concluded:
Make progress in holiness through the messages,
I will help you. Give your utmost and we will go together,
sensitive to the sweetness of life, light, and joy.
After having blessed them, she left in the
sign of the radiant cross while saying:
Go in the peace of God, my children, my little
children.
Message for the parish:
Dear children! Today lam calling you to begin
your struggle against Satan with prayer. Satan wants to work
more now that you know he is active. Dress up, dear children,
in clothes of armor against Satan; with rosaries in your
hands, you will conquer.
To Ivan:
Observe the complete fasts, Wednesdays and
Fridays. Pray at least an entire Rosary: Joyous, Sorrowful,
and Glorious mysteries. (BN. 19,
351).
THURSDAY, AUGUST 15TH 1985 (Feast of the Assumption)
Message to the parish:
Dear children! Today I bless you and I wish to
tell you that I love you. I appeal to you at this moment to
live my messages. Today I bless you all with the solemn
blessing which the Almighty has granted me.
To Mirjana:
My angel, pray for unbelievers. People will
tear their hair, brother will plead with brother, he will
curse his past life, lived without God. They will repent, but
it will be too late. Now is the time for conversion. I have
been exhorting you for the past four years. Pray for them.
(BN 19, 35).
Invite everyone to pray the Rosary. (Bl. 154).
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! Today I wish to tell you that
the Lord wants to put you to the test, which you can overcome
by prayer. God puts you to the test in your daily activities.
Pray now that you pass every test peacefully. Come through
every test from God more open to Him and approach Him with
greater love.
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! I invite you especially to
prayer because Satan wants to help himself with the harvests
of your vineyards. Pray so that he will not succeed. (Placed on guard against the materialism which
surrounded them, still, certain persons began to sell grapes to
the pilgrims more expensively.)
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! I thank you today for all your
prayers. Pray continually and pray more so that Satan will go
far away from this place. Dear children, the plan of Satan has
failed. Pray that every plan of God be realized in this
parish. I especially thank young people for the sacrifices
they have offered.
To Maria, for the parish, before the celebration
of the feast of the Holy Cross, day of the largest pilgrimage of
the year, at Krizevac:
Dear children! I wish to tell you these days to
put the Cross at the center of your life. Pray especially
before the Cross which is the origin of great graces. In your
homes make a special consecration to the Cross of the Lord.
Promise that you will not offend Jesus and that you will not
insult Him, nor the Cross.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH 1985 (instead of Thursday, 19th)
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! Today I am calling you to live
in humility all the messages I give you. Dear children, when
you live the messages do not glorify yourselves by saying: I
live the messages. If you carry the messages in your heart and
live them everyone will notice it. So, there is no need for
words which serve only those who do not wish to hear. For you
it is not necessary to speak. For you, my dear children, it is
necessary to live and witness by your lives. (DN 4 bis, 67).
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! Thank you for all your prayers.
Thank you for all your sacrifices. I want you to renew the
messages that I am giving you. Heed the call to fasting
because by fasting you will ensure that the total plan of God
here in Medjugorje will be fulfilled. That will give me great
joy. Thank you for having responded to my call.
To Maria:
I have given you my love, so that you may give
it to others.
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! I want to say to you, be
thankful to Godfor every grace that God gave you. For all the
fruits of grace, be thankful to the Lord and praise Him. Dear
children, learn to be thankful for little things, and then you
will be able to be thankful for great things.
To Maria, for the parish:
1 invite you one more time to live the messages
in the parish. I invite the young people of this parish
particularly, to do it. Dear children, if
you live the messages you will develop
the seeds of holiness. As Mother, I invite all of you to
holiness, so that you will be able to transmit it to others.
You are a mirror for others.
To Maria, for the parish:
There is a time for each thing. Today, I invite
you to begin to work on your hearts. At present, all the work
in the fields has ended. You find the time to clean the most
neglected places, but you set your hearts aside. Work more
now, with love, to clean each of the recesses of your heart.
To Maria, for the parish:
I wish from day to day, to clothe you with
sanctity, goodness, obedience and love of God, so that you may
be from day to day, more beautiful and better prepared for
your God. Dear children, listen to my messages and live them.
1 want to guide you.
Mirjana: "When
she
appeared, the Blessed Virgin greeted me, 'Praised be Jesus.'
Then she spoke of unbelievers;"
They are my children. I suffer because of them.
They do not know what awaits them. You must pray more for
them.
"We prayed with her for the weak, the
unfortunate, the foresaken. After the prayer, she blessed us.
Then she showed me, as in a film, the realization of the first
secret. The earth was desolate.
It is the upheaval of a region of the world. "She
was precise. I cried."
"Why so soon," I asked?
In the world, there are so many sins. What can
I do, if you do not help me. Remember, that I love you.
"How can God have such a hard heart?"
God does not have a hard heart. Look around you
and see what men do, then you will no longer say that God has
a hard heart.
How many people come to church, to the house of
God, with respect, a strong faith, and love of God? Very few!
Here you have a time of grace and conversion. It is necessary
to use it well. (DN 5, 39).
To Mirjana:
Pray very much for Father Pero, to whom I send
a special blessing. I am a mother, that is why I come. You
must not fear for I am there.
Father Pero Ljubicic had been chosen by
Mirjana, to unveil to the world, the first three warnings, three
days before the event. (DN 5, 40).
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31ST 1985
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children, today I love all of you with the
same love, and I wish that each one would do all that is
possible, according to his own capacity. Dear children, you
can do it, I know. But you do not want it, because you feel
small and weak. Take courage, and offer little flowers to the
Church and to Jesus, so that all of us may be happy
Message to the prayer group:
God loves you very much. He loves you a
hundred-fold more than your parents love you. (and she invited to offer her heart to this love. T.
Vlasic, 2 Nov. 1985, VB 3, 179).
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7TH 1985
To Maria, for the parish:
I invite you to love your neighbor, especially
those who do you harm. In this way, you will be able to
discern the intentions of the heart with love. Pray and love,
dear children.
It is with the strength of love, that you will
be able to accomplish what seems impossible to you.
To Maria, for the parish:
I, your Mother, love you. I encourage you to
pray. I never get tired. I call you even when you are far from
my heart. Ifeel badly for each person who is lost. But lam
your Mother; Iforgive easily, and I experience joy for each
child who returns to me.
To Maria, for the parish:
I am anxious to tell you that it is a special time for you
and for the parish. During the summer, you say that you have
to work very much. At this time, there is no work in the
fields. Thus, I invite you to work on yourselves. Come to
mass; the time is being provided for you.
Dear children, there are many who come; in spite
of the bad weather, because they love me, and want to prove
their love to me. I ask all of you to prove your love to me by
coming to mass. The Lord will reward you generously for it.
To Maria, for the parish:
I wish to thank all of you for everything you
have done for me, especially the young people. I ask you dear
children, enter conscientiously into prayer; because it is in
prayer, that you will know Gods designs.
Gianni Sgreva, an Italian Passionist, was
inspired to found a "Community of Consecrated" on the message of
Medjugorje, and seeking discernment, submitted his case of
conscience to Maria, who questioned the
Gospa.
I prefer to answer him personally.
It seems that the message was positive,
because the community opened May, 18th, 1987, at Priabona in
Italy. (There follows another message,
which one will find later: June 7, 1986, Archives Sgreval.)
To Maria, for the parish:
I wish io invite you to prepare yourselves for
the feast of Christmas;
through
prayer; penance; and acts of love. Do not worry so much, dear
children, about material things, because in this manner, you
will not be able to live the feast of Christmas.
To Jelena
I have only one wish for tomorrows feast. I ask
of you to find at least a quarter of an hour; for you to come
before me and entrust your problems to me. No one will
understand you, as I do. (J).
To Maria, for the parish:
I invite you to praise Jesus, with me, at this
time of Christmas. On that day; I give Him to you in a special
way, and invite you to celebrate Jesus' birth with me.
Dear children; on that day, pray more, and think
more of Jesus.
To Maria, for the parish:
I invite you to love your neighbor. If you love
your neighbor, you will feel more the presence of Jesus,
especially on Christmas day. God will fill you with great
gifts, if you abandon yourselves to Him. On Christmas Day, I
will give a special blessing to all the mothers, my maternal
blessing. And Jesus will grant His blessing to everyone.
To Maria, for the parish:
I thank all of you who have listened to my
messages, and who have lived, on Christmas Day, what I had
told you previously. Beginning now, you are purified of your
sins, and I would like to continue to guide you in the love of
your heart.
To Jelena, during the eve of December 31st:
Next year is the year of peace; not because men
have named it so, but because God has programmed it. You will
not have peace through the presidents, but through prayer.
Through one of the little seers of the group,
during this same vigil, Jesus said:
When you hear the clocks at midnight, you will
fall on your knees, bow your head to the ground, so that the
King of Peace will come. This year, I will offer my peace to
the world. But afterwards, I will ask you where you were when
I offered you my peace.
(These two messages were reported by T.
Vlasic, February, 6th, 1986. VB 4, 34).
Message to the parish:
I invite you to decide totally for God. I beg
of you dear children, give yourselves completely, and you will
be able to live everything that I have told you. It will not
be difficult for you to give yourselves completely to God.
To Vicka:
If you agree to it, I will not appear to you
anymore for 50 days.
Vicka accepts this sacrifice. (DN 5, 107).
Message to the parish:
I invite you to help Jesus through your prayer,
for the realization of all His plans, which He has already
begun here. Offer your sacrifices to Jesus, so that He will
realize everything that He has planned, and that Satan will
not be able to do anything.
Message to the parish:
Today, I still invite you to prayer. I need
your prayers so that God may be glor fled through all of you.
Dear children, I beg of you: Listen to my maternal call, and
live it. If I invite you to it, it is only out of love, and in
order to be able to help you.
It was the second day of retreat for a prayer
group, probably that of Jelena, (January
21-24, 1986).
This evening, rest. (T.
Vlasic,
23
Jan. 86, VB 4, 24).
To the same group:
I know that you are tired, but I cannot tell
you, rest. Today, I tell you, pray, and do not go to bed
before having prayed at least a quarter of a hour, for the
group. Tomorrow will be a better day. (T. Vlasic, 23 Jan. 86, VB 4, 24).
Message to the parish:
I invite you, again, to prayer of the heart. If
you pray with the heart, dear children, the eyes of your
brothers will melt, and every barrier will disappear.
Conversion will be easy for all those who want to receive it. It is a gift which you
must implore for your neighbor.
To Maria, for the parish:
I invite all of you to pray, so that all of
Gods designs on you, may be realized, and all that God pursues
through you. Help all the others to be converted, especially
all those who come to Medjugorje. Dear children, do not permit
Satan to become the master of your heart, because in that
case, you will become the image of Satan, and not mine.
I invite you to pray, in order to become
witnesses of my presence. Without you, the Lord cannot realize
what He wishes.
The Lord has given each one a free will, and you
can dispose of it.
To Maria, for the parish:
This parish, which I have chosen, is a special
parish which distinguishes itself from others. I offer some
special graces to all those who pray with the heart. Dear
children, I give these messages first to the parishioners, and
then to all the others. You will be responsible for these
messages before my Son, Jesus, and me.
To Maria, for the parish:
This Lent is for you, a special stimulant to
change your life. Begin from this moment. Unplug the
television and put aside so many other useless things. Dear
children, I invite you to individual conversion. This time
belongs to you.
To Maria, for the parish:
Here is my second message for Lent. Renew your
prayer before the cross. Dear children, I offer you special
graces and Jesus, the extraordinary merits of the cross.
Accept them, and live them. Meditate on the passion of Jesus.
Unite your life to Jesus.
At the end of the meeting of the prayer group,
before the blessing:
Dear children, you will be able to receive
Divine love, only in proportion to when you understand that,
on the cross, God offers you His immense love.
(God's punishment is a sign of love, observes
T. Vlasic, March 31, 86. VB 45, 59).
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children, live in humility, the messages
which I give you.
To Maria, for the parish:
Even today, I invite you to open up more to
God, so that He can work through you. It is in proportion to
how you open yourselves, that you will harvest the fruits. I
invite you again to prayer.
THURSDAY, MARCH 13TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Today I invite you to live Lent with your small
sacrifices. Thank you for each sacrifice which you have
brought me. Dear children, continue to live in this way. With
love, help me to present your offerings. God will reward you.
THURSDAY, MARCH 20TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Today, I invite you to actively enter into
prayer. You wish to live all that I tell you, but, you are not
successful in it because you do not pray enough. Dear
children, I beseech you, open yourselves and begin to pray.
Prayer will be a joy for you. If you begin, you will not be
uncomfortable, because you will pray in joy
MONDAY, MARCH 24TH 1986
To the prayer group:
Dear children, receive all that the Lord offers
you. Do not have your hands paralyzed and do not repeat:
'Jesus, give me.' But open your hands, and take everything
that the Lord offers you. (T.
Vlasic, April 27, 86, VB 4, 64).
THURSDAY, MARCH 27TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Thank you for all the sacrifices , but I invite you to a
greater sacrifice: the sacrifice of love. Without love, you
cannot receive neither my Son, nor me. Without love, you are
not able to convey to others, your experience. For that, I
invite you dear children, to begin to live love in your
hearts.
THURSDAY, APRIL 3RD 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children, I am calling you to live the
holy Mass. There are many of you who have experienced the
beauty of the Mass, but there are others who go unwillingly. I
have chosen you, dear children, and Jesus is giving you His
graces in the holy Mass. Let everyone who comes to Mass be
joyful. Come with love and rejoice in the holy Mass.
THURSDAY, APRIL 10TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children, I invite you to grow in love. A
flower cannot grow without water. Neither can you grow without
God's blessing. Everyday, you should ask for God's blessing so
that you can grow normally, and carry out your works.
THURSDAY, APRIL 17TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children, you are preoccupied with
material things, and you lose, thus, everything that God wants
to give you. Pray then, dear children, for the gifts of the
Holy Spirit. They are necessary for you, in order that you may
give witness to my presence here, and to everything that I
give you.
Dear children, abandon yourselves to me so that
I can guide you fully. Do not worry so much about material
things.
THURSDAY, APRIL 24TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children ,
today I invite you to prayer. You have
forgotten that you are all important, especially the elderly
in the families. Invite them to pray. Let all the young
people, by their lives, be an example for others. Let them be
witnesses for Jesus.
Dear children, I beseech you to begin to convert
yourselves through prayer, then you will know what you must
do.
THURSDAY, MAY 1ST 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Begin to change your lives in your families.
Let your family be a harmonious flower, which I can offer to
Jesus. Dear children, let each family be active in prayer. It
is my wish that one day, one will be aware of the fruits of
prayer in the family. It is only thus, that I will offer you
all, as petals to Jesus in fulfillment of God's plan.
THURSDAY, MAY 8TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children, you are responsible for the
messages that I give here. Here one finds the fountain of
grace, and you are the vessels which convey these gifts. That
is why I invite you, dear children, to carry out this work,
which is yours, with responsibility. Each one in the measure
of his ability. Dear children, I invite you to carry these
gifts to others with love. Do not keep them for yourselves.
THURSDAY, MAY 15TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children, today I invite you to offer to
me your hearts so that I can convert them, and make them
similar to mine. You ask yourselves why you are not able to
satisfy my requests? You are not able to because you have not
entrusted your hearts to me, so that I can change them. You
say, but you do not do it. Do then, everything that I tell
you. Only in that way, can I be with you.
THURSDAY, MAY 22ND 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Today I wish to give you my love. You do not
realize, dear children, how great my love is, and you do not
know how to receive it. I wish to manifest it to you in many ways dear
children , but you do not recognize it. You do not understand
my words with your hearts, and because of that you do not
understand my love.
Dear children, accept me in your life. Thus, you
will be able to accept everything that I tell you , and everything to which I
invite you.
THURSDAY, MAY 29TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children, live the love of God, and toward
your neighbor. I invite you to it. Without love, dear
children, you are not able to do anything. That is why I
invite you to live a mutual love. Only in that way will you be
able to love, and to receive me, and all those who are around
you and come to your parish. Everyone will feel my love
through you. Thus, I beg you to start, as of today, to love
with a burning love, the love with which I love you.
THURSDAY, JUNE 6TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! I invite you to decide whether
or not you want to live the messages which I give you. I wish
that you live and actively convey my messages to others.
In a very particular way, dear children, I wish
that all of you become a reflection of Jesus, and bear witness
to this unfaithful world. I desire that you become a light to
all, that all of you will testify to the light.
Dear children, you are not called to darkness,
but to light. So be a light, by the way you live your life.
JUNE 7TH 1986 (First Friday of the month)
Fr. Pere Gianni Sgreva, who wanted to found a new
community on the messages of Medjugorje, had questioned Maria on
June 6th. On the 7th of June she tells him:
"This is what the Gospa answered."
Yes, one must pray. What you are doing pleases
me. For the time being, keep a very active prayer life, and
God will then light up the other plans.
"Since the Gospa said that, we are sure that
the road is a good one. She was happy when I asked her about
it."
The community which opened in 1987, in Italy, is
prospering so well, that before the end of the year, it had to
move, since the large house at Priabona had become too small.
THURSDAY, JUNE 12TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! Today I invite you to begin to
pray the rosary with a living faith. Only in that way will I
be able to help you. You wish to receive graces, but you do
not pray. I am not able to help you if
you do not decide to begin.
I invite you, dear children, to pray the rosary
in such a way that it will be a commitment for you, achieved in joy. In
this way, you will understand the reason for which I have been
with you, for such a long time. I want to teach you to pray
THURSDAY, JUNE 19TH 1986
Message for the parish:
These days, Our Lord has permitted me to
intercede more for you. I invite you then, to again, pray.
Pray without ceasing. In this way, I can give you the joy
which Our Lord gives me. Through His graces, dear children,
let your sufferings be transformed into joy. I am your Mother,
and want to help you.
TUESDAY, JUNE 24TH 1986
Maria and Ivan met with the prayer group on Mt.
Krizevac:
You are on a Thabor. You receive blessings,
strength and love. Carry them into your families, and into
your homes. To each one of you, I grant a special blessing.
Continue in joy, prayer, and reconciliation. (DN 5, 14-15).
To the prayer group:
I beseech you, withdraw in silence. Your
obligation is not so much to do, but to adore God, to stay
with Him. (T. Vlasic,26 June 86 VB
4, 115).
THURSDAY, JUNE 26TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children, God has given me permission to
realize with Him, this oasis of peace. I invite you to keep it
intact. Through their indifference, some people destroy prayer
and peace. I beseech you, testify and help by your lives to
preserve it.
THURSDAY, JULY 3RD 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! Today I invite all of you to
prayer. Without prayer, dear children, you are not able to
perceive neither God, nor me, nor the graces which I give you.
Therefore, I ask you to always begin and end each day with
prayer.
Dear children, I desire to lead you day after
day, as much as possible toward prayer, but you cannot grow, if you do not wish to. I
exhort you, dear children, let prayer have the first place.
THURSDAY, JULY 10TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Today I invite you to holiness. You cannot live
without holiness. That is why you must, with love, be
victorious over every sin. Overcome all difficulty with love.
I beseech you, dear children, live love within yourselves.
THURSDAY, JULY 17TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children! Today I invite you to ask
yourselves why I have been with you such a long time. I am the
intercessor between you and God. For that reason, dear
children, I invite you to always live with love, everything
that God asks of you. Live all the messages that I give you in
complete humility.
THURSDAY, JULY 24TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
What joy you give me; you are on the road to
holiness. I beg you, help by your witness, all those who do
not know how to live in holiness. That is why your family must
be the place where holiness is born. Help everyone to live in
holiness, especially the members of your own family.
THURSDAY, JULY 31ST 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Hatred gives rise to division and blinds one to
everything and everybody. I invite you to spread harmony and
peace, more specially, there where you live.
Dear children, act with love. May love be your
only tool. With love, convert into good, all that Satan is
trying to destroy and take to himself It is only thus, that
you will be completely mine, and that I will be able to help
you.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 7TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
You know that I promised you an oasis of peace
, but you
do not know that around this oasis is a desert, where Satan
watches and tries to tempt each one of you.
Dear children, it is only through prayer, that
you will be able to overcome every influence of Satan,
wherever you may be. I am with you, but I cannot deprive you
of your free will.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 14TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
May your prayer be the joy of a meeting with
the Lord. I cannot guide you there, if
you yourselves do not feel the joy of
prayer. I wish to guide you every day, more deeply into
prayer, but I cannot force you.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 21ST 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
I am grateful for the love that you show me.
You know, dear children, I love you immensely, and each day I
pray to the Lord to help you to understand the love which I
bear for you. That is why, dear children, pray, pray, pray
THURSDAY, AUGUST 28TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
I invite you to be, in everything, an example
for others, especially in prayer and bearing witness. Without
you, dear children, I cannot help the world. I want your
cooperation with me in everything, even the smallest things.
Therefore, dear children, help me.
May your prayer be a prayer of the heart, and
abandon yourselves completely to me. In this way, I will be
able to teach you and to guide you on the path, upon which I
have set you.
To Maria, for the parish:
Again today, I invite you to prayer and
fasting. Be assured, dear children, that with your help, I can
do everything and prevent Satan from leading you into sin, and
to force him to leave this place.
Dear children, Satan lies in wait for each of
you. He tries, each day, to plant doubts in each of you.
Therefore, dear children, make each day a prayer and total
abandonment to God.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
During these days, when you joyfully celebrate
the Feast of the Cross, I wish that your own cross become a
source of joy.
Especially, dear children, pray in order to be
able to accept sickness and suffering with love, as Jesus did.
It is only in this way, that I can experience the joy of
giving you the graces and the cures, which Jesus permits me to
grant you.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Again today, I thank you for everything you
have done for me in recent days. I thank you more
particularly, dear children, in the name of Jesus, for the
sacrifices you have offered this last week.
Dear children , you forget that I rely on your sacrifices to help
you, and to keep Satan away from you. It is for that reason,
that I again invite you to offer your sacrifices to God with a
deep reverence.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
I invite you to help others through your peace,
so that they see it, and begin to look for peace within themselves.
Because you are in peace, dear children, you cannot understand
the absence of it. That is why I invite you to help through
your prayers and your life, to destroy every evil among men,
and to unmask Satan 's deceptions.
Pray, so that truth may prevail in your hearts.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2ND 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Even today, I invite you to pray. You do not
realize, dear children, the value of prayer, so you do not
tell yourselves:
'Now is the time for prayer; nothing is more
important to me. No one is more important for me than God. '
Dear children, dedicate yourselves to prayer
with a special love. In this way, God will be able to give you
His graces. Thank you for your response to my call.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
You know that I wish to lead you on the road to
holiness. But I cannot compel you by force to become saints. I
wish that everyone of you helps me, and himself, by your small
sacrifices. In this way I will be able to guide you, and make
you more holy, day by day
Dear children, I do not want to force you to
live my messages, but this long time I have spent with you is
the sign of the immense love I bear for you. I wish that each
one of you become holy
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Today, I wish to show you again, how much I
love you. I am sad that I am unable to help each of you to
understand my love. That is why, dear children, I invite you
to pray and to consecrate yourselves completely to God,
because Satan wants to conquer you in daily affairs, and to
take first place in your lives. For that, dear children, you
must pray without ceasing.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23RD 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Again today, I call you to prayer More
particularly, dear children, I invite you to pray for peace.
Without your prayer,
I cannot help you to understand the messages
that my Lord has permitted me to give you. That is why, dear
children , you must pray, in order to know through prayer, the
peace that God gives you.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Today, again, I invite you accept and live
seriously the messages which I give you. It is for you, dear
children, that I have stayed here for such a long time. It is
so that I might be able to help you to realize these messages
which I give you.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children, today I invite you to pray
everyday for the souls in Purgatory. Every soul needs prayer
and grace in order to reach God and His love. By this way,
dear children, you will gain new intercessors, who will help
you during your life to discern that nothing on earth is more
important for you, than longing for Heaven.
For that dear children, pray without respite, so
that you may be able to help yourselves and others, to whom
your prayers will bring joy
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Even today, I invite all of you to pray with
all your heart, as well as to reform your life from day to
day. I am especially calling you, dear children, to live
righteously through prayer and sacrifice. I wish that each one
of you, near this source of grace, (Medjugorje), come to
paradise with this special gift which He will give - holiness.
Pray and reform your life, dear children, so as to become
saintly. I will always be near you.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Today I invite you to live, and to follow all
the messages which I give you with my special love. Dear
children, God does not want you to be
restless and indecisive, but totally abandoned to Him. You
know that I love you, and that I burn with love for you.
For that reason, dear children, decide also in
favor of love. May love prevail in all of you so that daily,
you may burn with the love of God and experience it for
yourselves. Not human love, but God's love.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children, today I invite you again, to
dedicate your life to me with love, so that I may be able to
guide it lovingly. It is a very special love that I bear for
you, dear children, and it is my desire to lead all of you to
Heaven and near to God. Understand that this life lasts a
short time, in comparison with that of Heaven.
That is why, dear children, again today, decide
in favor of God. In this way only, can I show you, how dear
you are to me, and how much I desire that all of you be saved,
and be with me in Heaven.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
I invite you still today, to prepare your
hearts for these days when the Lord wants above all, to purify
you from all the sins of your past. You cannot do it alone,
dear children, and for that reason, I am here to help you.
Pray, dear children, because it is only in this way that you
will be able to know all the evil that dwells in you, and
abandon it to the Lord, so that He may purify your hearts
completely. So, dear children, pray constantly and prepare
your hearts through pen ance and fasting.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear children, I invite you to pray during this
special time, so that you may taste the joy of meeting with
the newborn Jesus.
Dear children, I wish that you live these days
as I lived them. I want to guide you and show you this joy, to
which I want to bring all of you. That
is why, dear children, pray and abandon yourselves totally to
me.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
Today I call you again, to prayer. When you
pray, you are so much more beautiful. You are like flowers,
which after the snows, are bursting with beauty in their
indescribable colors. In the same way, dear children, after
prayer, display more before God, all that is beautiful, in
order to please Him. That is why dear children, pray and open
your life to the Lord, so that He may make of you a beautiful
and harmonious flower for paradise.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 25TH 1986
To Maria, for the parish:
I thank the Lord today for all that He does,
and especially for the gift of permitting me to remain with
you. Dear children, these are the days when the Lord grants
special graces to all those who open their hearts to Him. I
bless you and I wish that you also know these graces. Place
yourselves at the disposition of the Lord, so that He may be
glorified through you. My heart follows attentively, your
progress.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 1ST 1987
To Maria, for the parish:
Dear Children! Today, the day of the new year,
I invite all of you to live the messages which I give you. You know,
dear children, that because of you, I have stayed here this
long, in order to teach you to walk on the road to holiness.
Therefore, dear children , pray constantly, and live all the messages which I
give you. I do it with a great love for God, and for you.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 8TH 1987
To Maria, for the parish:
I would like to thank you for your response to
my messages; especially, dear children, thank you for all the
sacrifices and all the prayers you
have presented to me. I wish to continue to give you messages,
no longer each Thursday, but on the 25th of each month. The
time has come when, what my Lord wanted, has been
accomplished. From now on, I will give you fewer messages, but
I will remain with you.
Also, I ask you dear children, to listen to my
messages and to live them so that I can guide you.
SUNDAY, JANUARY 25TH 1987
The first apparition of the 25th of the month,
(the anniversary day of the month of the first apparition on the
hill), given to Maria, for the parish:
Today I want to appeal to all of you to start
living a new life from this day on. Dear Children, I wish that
you would understand that God has chosen each one of you to
have a part in the great plan for the salvation of mankind.
You cannot fully understand how great your role is in God's
design. For that reason, pray, dear children, so that through
prayer, you may be able to know your role in God's plan. I am
with you, so that you may be able to realize it fully.
Beginning January 25th, the messages are now
monthly, each 25th of the month, monthly anniversary date of the
first apparition. As in the case of the Thursday messages, we do
not give any reference. These messages have been transmitted by
benevolent organizations to the whole world.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28TH 1987
To Mirjana, at Sarajevo:
My dear children! I came to you in order to
lead you to purity of soul, and then to God. How did you
receive me? At the beginning you were fearful, suspicious of
the children I had chosen. Later on, the majority received
me in their heart. They began to put into practice, my
maternal recommendation. Unfortunately, that did not last a
long time. Whatever be the place where I appear, and with me
also my Son, Satan also comes. You permitted him to subdue
you without realizing that you were being led by him.
It is up to you to realize that your behavior
is not permitted by God, but you immediately stifle the
thought.
Do not give in dear children. Wipe away from
my face, the tears which I shed on seeing you act in this
manner. Look around you. Take the time to come to God in the
Church. Come into your Father's house. Take the time to meet
for family prayer, in order to obtain the grace from God.
Remember your deceased; make them happy by offering the
Mass. Do not look with scorn on the poor man who is begging
a morsel of bread. Do not send him away from your abundant
table. Help him and God will help you. It could very well
happen that the blessing he leaves you as a sign of
gratitude, will be fulfilled for you. God may listen to him.
You have forgotten all that my children. Satan
has influenced you in that. Do not give in. Pray with me! Do
not deceive yourselves in thinking, I am good, but my
brother, who lives next to me is not good. You will be
mistaken. I love you because I am your mother, and I warn
you. There are the secrets my children. One does not know
what they are; when they learn, it will be too late. Return
to prayer! Nothing is more necessary. I would like it if the
Lord would have permitted me to show you just a little about
the secrets, but, He already gives you enough graces.
Think! What do you offer to Him in return.
When was the last time you gave up something for the Lord? I
will not blame you further, but once again call you to
prayer, fasting, and to penance. If you wish to obtain a
grace from the Lord by fasting, then let no one know that
you are fasting. If you wish to obtain the grace of God
through a gift to the poor, let no one know it, except you
and the Lord. Listen to me, my children! Meditate on my
message in prayer.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25TH 1987
Message to the parish:
Dear children! I wish to cover all of you with
my mantle,and to lead all of you on the road to conversion. I
beg you, dear children, entrust all your past to the Lord,
with all the evil that has accumulated in your hearts. I wish
each one of you to be happy, but with sin, that is never
possible.
Pray, dear children, and in prayer you will know
the new road of joy. Joy will shine forth in your hearts, and
in joy, you will be the witnesses of what my Son and I expect
of each one of you. I bless you.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25TH 1987 (Feast of the Annunciation)
Message to the parish:
Today I thank you for your presence in this
place where I give you special graces. I call each of you to
begin to live, starting today, the life which God desires of
you, and to start doing good deeds of love and mercy. I do not
wish, dear children, that you live the message while at the
same time displeasing me by committing sins.
Also, dear children, I wish that each of you
live a new life, without destroying all that God has done in
you, and what He gives to you. I give you my special blessing,
and I remain with you on your road to conversion.
SATURDAY, APRIL 25TH 1987
Message for the parish:
Dear children! Today I once again invite all of
you to pray. You know that God grants special graces through
prayer. Therefore, dear children, try to pray so that you will
be able to understand all that I give you here.
I invite you, dear children, to prayer of the
heart. You know that without prayer you cannot comprehend all
that God has planned through each one of you. So Pray! It is
my wish that God's plan be fulfilled in and through each of
you, and that all He has placed in your hearts will increase.
Pray that God 's blessing may protect you from all the evil
that threatens you. I give you my blessing.
MONDAY, MAY 25TH 1987
Message to the parish:
I call on each of you to begin to live in God
's love. Dear children, you are ready to commit sin, and to
place yourselves in Satan 's hands without reflection. I call
you so each of you will decide knowingly for God, and against
Satan. I am your mother, and I desire to lead all of you to
complete holiness. I wish for each of you to be happy on earth
and then to be with me in Heaven. This, dear children, is my
purpose in coming here, and my desire. Thank you for having
responded to my call.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24TH 1987
Sixth anniversary of the prelude to the
apparitions:
Maria invited the pilgrims to climb Krizevac at
11:30 at night. A crowd of thousands of people climbed the rocky
foot path, without accident, (One wonders how!). After reciting
the rosary, toward midnight, Maria confided in those who
surrounded her.
"The Blessed Virgin was joyful. First of all, she
prayed over all of us. We asked her to bless us. She did. Then
she gave us, in substance, this message:"
Dear children! I want to lead you on the road
to conversion. I desire that you convert the world and that
your life be a conversion for others. Do not full into
infidelity. Let each one of you be completely submitted to my
will and to the will of God. Beginning this day, I give you
special graces, and in particular the gift of conversion. Let
each one of you take home my blessing, and motivate the others
to a real conversion.
"Through her," Maria concluded, "God gives us
this gift this evening. Before leaving us, Our Lady prayed
again over all of us for a moment. We prayed with her for all
our needs, for all your needs, for each of you here present.
Finally the Blessed Virgin said:"
Go in the peace of God! (Transcribed the same
day at Medjugorje.)
THURSDAY, JUNE 25TH 1987
Message to the parish:
Dear children! Today I thank you all, and wish
to call all of you to the peace of God. I wish that each one
of you may know, in his heart, this peace which God gives.
Today, I bless all of you. I bless you
with God's blessing, and ask you, dear children, to follow and
to live my way.
I love you all, dear children. That is why I
have called you so many times. I thank you for all that you
have done according to my intentions. Please help me, so that
I may be able to present you to God, and guide you on the path
to salvation. Thank you for having responded to my call.
SATURDAY, JULY 25TH 1987
Message to the parish:
Dear children! I beseech you from this day on,
take up the way of holiness. I love you and therefore, I wish
you to be holy. Do not let Satan block you on the way. Dear
children, pray and accept all that God is offering you on this
way which is bitter, but to whomever is engaged in it, God
reveals joy and the sweetness to respond in good heart, to His
calls. Do not measure the importance of little things, but
long for Heaven and holiness.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 25TH 1987
Message to the parish:
Dear children! Today also I call upon you again
to decide to live the messages. God has permitted me, in this
year which the Church has dedicated to me, to be able to speak
to you and to encourage you on the way to holiness.
Dear children, ask God for the graces which He
wants to give you through me. I am ready to intercede with God
for all that you ask, so that your holiness may be complete.
There fore, dear children, do not forget to ask, because God
has permitted me to obtain graces for you.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25TH 1987
Message to the parish:
Dear children! Today, I wish to invite all of
you to prayer. Let prayer be LIFE for you. Dear
children, devote your time to Jesus only, and He will give you
everything that you search for. He will reveal Himself to you
completely.
Dear children, Satan is strong, and he watches
over each of you in order to tempt you. Pray, and this way he
will not be able to harm you nor to block your way on the road
to holiness. Dear children, make progress as much as possible,
toward God and in prayer, from day to day. Thank you for
having responded to my call.
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25TH 1987
Message to the parish:
Today I invite all of you to decide for paradise. The way is
difficult for those who have not decided for God. Dear children,
decide and believe. God offers Himself to you in His fullness.
You are called and you need to respond to the call of the
Father, who is calling you, through me. Pray, because in prayer,
each one of you will be able to achieve perfect love. I am
blessing you and I want to help each one of you, so that you
will be under my motherly mantle.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25TH 1987
Message to the parish:
Even today again, I invite you. May each of you
decide to abandon yourself completely to me. Only thus, can I
in turn, present each of you to God. Dear children, you know
that I love you immeasurably, and I wish for each one of you
to be mine. But God gives everyone freedom, which I lovingly
respect, and to which I humbly submit.
Dear children, I wish that God's plan regarding this parish be
realized. But, if you do not pray, you will not be able to
recognize my love, nor God 's plan for this parish, and for
each of you. Pray that Satan does not entice you with his
pride and deceptive strength. I am with you and want you to
believe that I love you.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25TH 1987
Message to the parish:
Rejoice with me. My heart is rejoicing because
of Jesus, and it is He, whom I want to present to you today.
Dear children, I want each one of you to open your heart to
Jesus, and I will give Him to you with love. It is He who
transforms you, teaches you and protects you.
Today I pray for each one of you in a special
way, and I present you to God that He may manifest Himself to
you.I invite you to sincere prayer with the heart. Let each
one of your prayers be an encounter with God. In your work,and
in your everyday life, put God in the first place. I ask you
with great seriousness to obey me, I beseech you.
JANUARY, 25TH 1988
Message to the parish:
Dear children, today I again am calling you to
complete conversion, which is difficult for those who have not
chosen God. I am inviting you, dear children, to convert fully
to God. God can give you everything that you seek from Him.
But you seek God only when sicknesses, problems and
difficulties come to you, and you think that God is far from
you and is not listening and does not hear your prayers.
No, dear children, that is not the truth. When
you are far from God, you cannot receive graces, because you
do not seek them with a firm faith. Day by day, I am praying
for you, and I want to draw you evermore near to God. I
cannot, if you
do not desire it. Therefore, dear children, put your life in
God's hands. I bless you all. Thank you for responding to my
call.
FEBRUARY 25TH 1988,
Message to the parish:
Dear children, I am calling you to prayer and
complete surrender to God. You know that I love you and am
coming here out of love, so I could show you the path of peace
and salvation for your souls. I want you to obey me and not
permit Satan to seduce you. Satan is very strong and therefore
I wish you to dedicate your prayers to me, so that those who
are under his influence may be saved. Give witness by your
life; sacrifice your life for the salvation of the world. I am
with you and am grateful to you, but in Heaven you shall
receive the Father's reward, which He has promised to you.
Therefore, dear children, do not be afraid. If
you pray, Satan cannot injure you even a little, because you
are God's children and He is watching over you. Pray and let
the rosary always be in your hands as a sign to Satan that you
belong to me.
MARCH 25TH 1988,
Message to the parish:
Today, I invite you dear children, to complete
surrender to God. You are not conscious of how God loves you
with such a great love. He permits me to be with you so I can
instruct you and help you to find the way of Peace. This way,
however, you cannot discover if you do not pray. Dear children, forsake everything
to consecrate your time to God; and then God will bestow gifts
upon you and bless you.
Little children, do not forget that your life is
fleeting like a spring flower, which today is wondrously
beautiful but tomorrow has vanished. Therefore, pray in such a
way that your prayer, your surrender
to God, may become like a road sign. That way, your witness
will not only have value for yourself, but for others, and for
all eternity.
APRIL 25TH 1988
Message for the parish:
Dear children, God wants to make you holy.
Through me, He is inviting you to complete surrender. Let Holy
Mass be your life. Understand that the Church is God's palace,
the place in which I gather you and want to show you the way
to God. Come and pray! Neither look at others, nor slander
them. Rather let your life be a testimony on the way of
holiness. Churches deserve respect and are set apart as holy
because God, who became man, dwells in them day and night.
Little children, believe and pray that the
Father will in crease your faith; then you can ask for
whatever you need. I am with you and I am rejoicing because of
your conversion; and I am protecting you with my motherly
mantle. Thank you for your response to my call.
We give in an appendix, the messages which have
been gathered by authors, who had made inquiry into the messages
of Medjugorje. These messages, which they generally did not
date, (nor give the means for dating) are presented in a
chronological order, per each book. This provides a "date
limit." As an exception, we group at the end, the four volumes
of homilies of Father T. Vlasic and Father Slavko Barbaric,
which are remarkable for the quality of their information.
Received by Mirjana before December 26, 1982,
confided on November 5, 1983 to Tomislav Vlasic, who conveyed
them to the Pope on December 16, 1983.
In his letter of December 16, 1983, to the Pope,
and published in "Is The Virgin Mary Appearing at Medjugorje?" (Paris, 1984), Tomislav Vlasic
reports some revelations received by Mirjana in 1982, and
confided to him November 5, 1983, with this significant
introduction:
"During the apparition of December 25, 1982, according to
Mirjana, the Madonna confided to her the tenth and last secret,
and revealed to her, the dates in which the different secrets
will be realized. The Blessed Virgin revealed to Mirjana some
aspects of the future, up to this point, in greater detail than
to the other seers. For this reason, I am reporting here what
Mirjana told me in a conversation of November5, 1983. I
summarized the essentials of her account, without literal
quotation. Mirjana told me:"
Before the visible sign is given to humanity,
there will be three warnings to the world. The warnings will
be in the form of events on earth. Mirjana will be a witness
to them. Ten days before one of the admonitions, Mirjana will
notify a priest of her choice. The witness of Mirjana will be
a confirmation of the apparitions and a stimulus for the
conversion of the world.
After the admonitions, the visible sign will
appear on the site of the apparitions in Medjugorje for all
the world to see. The sign will be given as a testimony to the
apparitions and in order to call people back to faith.
The ninth and tenth secrets are serious. They
concern chastisement for the sins of the world. Punishment is
inevitable, for we cannot expect the whole world to be
converted. The punishment can be diminished by prayer and
penance, but it cannot be eliminated. Mirjana says that one of
the evils that threatened the world, the one contained in the
seventh secret,has been averted thanks to prayer and fasting.
That is why the Blessed Virgin continues to encourage prayer
and fasting: You have forgotten that through prayer and
fasting you can avert wars and suspend the laws of nature.
After the first admonition, the others will
follow in a rather short time. Thus, people will have some
time for conversion.
That interval will be a period of grace and
conversion. After the visible sign appears, those who are
still alive will have little time for conversion. For that
reason, the Blessed Virgin invites us to urgent conversion and
reconciliation.
The invitation to prayer and penance is meant to
avert evil and war, but most of all to save souls.
According to Mirjana, the events predicted by
the Blessed Virgin are near. By virtue
of this experience, Mirjana proclaims to the world: "Convert
as quickly as possible. Open your hearts to God."
"In addition to this basic message, Mirjana related an apparition she had in 1982 which we believe sheds some light on some aspects of Church history. She spoke of an apparition in which Satan appeared to her. Satan asked Mirjana to renounce the Madonna and follow him. That way she could be happy in love and in life. He said that following the Virgin, on the contrary, would only lead to suffering. Mirjana rejected him, and immediately the Virgin arrived and Satan disappeared. Then the Blessed Virgin gave her the following message, in substance:"
Excuse me for this, but you must realize that Satan exists. One day he appeared before the throne of God and asked permission to submit the Church to a period of trial. God gave him permission to try the Church for one century. This century is under the power of the Devil, but when the secrets confided to you come to pass, his power will be destroyed. Even now he is beginning to lose his power and has become aggressive. He is destroying marriages, creating division among priests and is responsible for obsessions and murder You must protect yourselves against these things through fasting and prayer, especially community prayer. Carry blessed objects with you. Put them in your house, and restore the use of holy water.
The Virgin tells the children:
I know that many will not believe you, and that
many who have an impassioned faith will cool off You remain
firm , and
motivate people to instant prayer, penance and conversion. At
the end, you will be happier. (K.56).
Messages approximately grouped on Ecumenism (see annex#2):
In God differences do not exist among his
people; religion need not separate people. Every person must
be respected, despite his or her particular profession of
faith.
God presides over all religions, as a king
controls his subjects, through his priests and ministers. The
sole mediator of salvation is Jesus Christ.
Do differences exist among the believers of
different churches? (A question asked in reference to a certain
Protestant community.)
It is not equally efficacious to belong to or
pray in any church or community, because the Holy Spirit
grants his power differently among the churches and ministers.
All believers do not pray the same way. It is intentional that
all apparitions are under the auspices of the Catholic Church.
(K.59).
To the seers:
When you will suffer difficulties, and need
something, come to me. (K.72).
I cannot cure. God alone cures. Pray! I will
pray with you. Believe firmly. Fast, do penance. I will help
you as long as it is in my power to do it. God comes to help
everyone. I am not God. I need your sacrifices and your
prayers to help me. (K.86, and
F.1,45).
Faith cannot be alive without prayer. (K.86).
The Mass is the greatest prayer of God. You
will never be able to understand its greatness. That is why
you must be perfect and humble at Mass, and you should prepare
yourselves there. (K.86).
For a Priest who questions:
"Is it preferable to pray to you or to pray to
Jesus?"
I beseech you, pray to Jesus! I am His Mother,
and I intercede for you with Him. But all prayers go to Jesus.
I will help, I will pray, but everything does not depend
solely on me. but also on your strength, and the strength of
those who pray (K.87).
With respect to the souls in Purgatory:
These persons wait for your prayers and your
sacrifices.(K.87).
The most beautiful prayer is the "Creed. " (K.94).
The most important thing, is to believe. (K.94).
All prayers are good, if they are said with
faith. (K.95).
My Son wants to win all souls to Him, but the
Devil strives to obtain something. The Devil makes a great
effort to infiltrate among you, at all costs. (K.116).
Questioned on the similarity between the signs
announced at Medjugorje, and the third secret of Fatima, Jelena
responds, "Toward these things the Gospa told us:
Do not fear anything. You must forget what is
behind you in your life. I only want that from now on, you be
new people. Do not fear anything when I am near you. I love
you.
Conversation with Fr. Bonifacio and Fr. Petar
Ljubicic:
It does not suffice to pray. You must change
your life, your heart. Love the others, have love for others.
Love what you do and always think about Jesus and you will
understand what is good, and what is bad. (ibid).
Vicka:'At the very beginning, the Gospa
tells us:"
You may leave, but let little Jakov stay with
me.
And Vicka adds: "Jakov is an
extraordinary boy; the Gospa knew it." (Bu.52).
During the times of the first apparitions:
To Mirjana:
My Son struggles for each of you, but Satan
fights Him also. He prowls around you, sets traps for you. He
tries to divide you, you the seers, to plant discord among
you; to confuse you so you will detest yourselves, and will
abandon yourselves to him.
Vicka adds: "Our Lady has said it to us on several occasions." (Bu.71).
The world can only be saved through peace. But
it will only have
peace in its meeting with God. (Bo.75).
The world lives amidst very strong tensions. It
is on the edge of catastrophe. (Bo.75).
I have come here because there are many
believers. I want to remain with you in order to convert many
and to bring peace to everyone. Begin by loving your enemies.
Do not judge, do not slander, and do not despise, but give
only love. Bless your adversaries and pray for them.
I know well that you are not capable of doing
it; I advise you to pray each day at least five minutes to the
Sacred Heart, so that you can receive the gift of Divine Love,
with which you will be able to love your enemies. (Bo.75).
It is necessary to convert oneself to God, in
order to obtain peace. Tell the whole world; tell it without
delay, that I ardently wish conversion. Be converted, do not
wait. I will ask my Son that He not chastise the world.
Convert yourselves, renounce everything, and be ready for
everything.
Do not go in search of extraordinary ways,
take rather, the Gospel and read it. There, everything will be
clear. (Bo.76).
You only learn to pray, through praying. (Bo.76).
Offer your time to God and let yourself be
guided by the Holy Spirit. Then, your work will go well and
you will have free time. Those who abandon themselves to God,
do not have place in their hearts for fear. The difficulties
which you will face, will contribute to your growth and to the
glory of the Lord. For that, reject fear. (Bo.77).
Prayer always leads to peace and serenity. (Bo.78, cf Bl 298). No one
is dispensed from fasting, except those who are gravely ill.
Prayer and works of charity cannot replace fasting. I
recommend to you in a special way, to attend Holy Mass every
day (Bo.79).
Mass represents the highest form of prayer. You
must be humble and respectful during Holy Mass, and prepare
yourself for it with care. (Bo.79,
cf Bl 238).
May the Holy Father announce with courage, peace
and love to the world. May He not consider Himself the Father
of Catholics, but of all mankind. (Bo.80).
Reported by Mirjana:
Tell the faithful that I need their prayers, and
prayers from all the people. It is necessary to pray as much
as possible and do penance because very few people have been
converted up until now There are many Christians who live like
pagans. There are always so few, true believers. (C.49, cf. Bl 213).
To the priest who asked what they should do:
Carry out well your responsibility, and do what
the Church asks you to do. (C52).
One day the Gospa reproached Jakov for his
behavior at school towards his friends:
You must love them all.
"I love them all. But they are so annoying to
me."
Then accept it as a sacrifice, and offer it.
(C.64).
A group of seminarians from Zagreb and Djakovo,
attended an apparition.
Maria: "The
Gospa looked at each one of us, and told us with a smile:"
Tell them, that with prayer, one obtains
everything. (C.68).
The Blessed Virgin received a young nun with open
arms, while she kept her hands joined before the others.
Questioned by Mirjana, she said:
I will take with me very soon, all those to
whom I extended my arms. (C.69).
To a nun who asked about her brother, who had
died in an accident:
I understand the question, answered the
Blessed Virgin. He died in the state of grace. He needs
Masses and prayers. (C.70).
Asked by the seers why her choice had fallen upon
them, the Blessed Virgin replied:
I do not choose the best. Are you angry with my
choice, my angels? (C.75).
Mirjana reports to a religious, a close friend,
this word from the Gospa:
The hour has come when the demon is authorized
to act with all his force and power The present hour, is the
hour of Satan. (C.99).
Many pretend to see Jesus and the Mother of God,
and to understand their words, but they are, in fact, lying.
It is a very grave sin, and it is necessary to pray very much
for them. (C.123).
lam anxious for people to know what is happening
in Medjugorje. Speak about it, so that all will be converted.
(C. 134).
To Mirjana, who asks the Gospa on her insistence
in saying, "It presses me to. . . :"
When you will be in Heaven, you will understand
why I am so pressed. (C.214).
To the seers who ask regarding the apparitions
and their purpose:
Is it, after all, that I bore you? Everything
passes exactly according to God's plan. Have patience,
persevere in prayer and in penance. Everything happens in its
own time. (C.215).
On the matter of a Catholic priest, confused
because of the cure of an Orthodox child:
Tell this priest, tell everyone, that it is you
who is divided on earth. The Muslims and the Orthodox, for the
same reason as Catholics, are equal before my Son and me. You
are all my children. Certainly, all religions are not equal,
but all men are equal before God, as St. Paul says. It does
not suffice to belong to the Catholic Church to be saved, but
it is necessary to respect the commandments of God in
following one's conscience.
Those who are not Catholics, are no less
creatures made in the image of God, and destined to rejoin
someday, the House of the Father.
Salvation is available to everyone, without exception. Only
those who refuse God deliberately, are condemned. To him, who
has been given little, little will be asked for. To whomever
has been given much (to Catholics) , very much will be
required. It is God alone, in His infinite justice, Who
determines the degree of responsibility and pronounces
judgment. (C 128).
On the subject of Christ:
I am His Mother, and I intercede for you, near
to Him.(F2,134).
Let the faithful meditate each day on the life
of Jesus, while praying the rosary. (T.43).
Every prayer, which comes from the heart, is
agreeable to God. (T.58).
You do not celebrate the Eucharist, as you
should. If you would know what grace, and what gifts you
receive, you would prepare yourselves for it each day, for an
hour at least. You should go to confession once a month. You
should consecrate three days to reconciliation, each month:
the first Friday of the month, followed by Saturday, and
Sunday
The parish at Medjugorje had established an
hour of adoration, before the Most Blessed Sacrament, the first
Friday of the month. On the Saturday which followed, an hour of
devotion before the cross, with prayers for sinners. And on
Sunday, the Holy Mass was followed by a meal of reconciliation.
(T.58).
I do not have the right to impose on anyone,
what they should do. You have reason, and a will. You should,
after having prayed, reflect and decide. (B1.37).
Receive the peace of my Son. Live it, and
spread it. (Bl.90).
Permit Jesus to perform great works in
you. The door of your heart, the lock is rusted. Permit Him to
open it. May it be open through your prayer, your fasting, your
conversion. (B1.143).
Pray slowly, and meditate while saying the
prayers of the rosary. Take a quarter of an hour to recite: 5
Our Father's, Hail Mary 's,
and Glory Be's. (Bl.173).
I love you so much. And if you love me, you
will be able to feel it. I bless you in the name of the Most
Holy Trinity, and in my name. Remain in peace. (Bl.183).
You will find everything in the Gospels. (Bl.244).
Let the word of God begin to speak in your
heart. (Bl.245).
Begin to love your enemies. Do not judge or
slander. Do not scorn. Do not curse. Only give your
adversaries love. Bless them, and pray for them. I know that
you are not capable of doing it, but I advise you to pray each
day at least five minutes, to the Sacred Heart, so that He can
give you Divine love, with which you will be able to love,
even your enemies. (Bl.301).
(Another version of the message previously shown in Botta.)
You can direct your prayers not only to those
who are already in Heaven, but also to those who are in
Purgatory, because with their prayer, they can help you to
reach eternal happiness. (Bi
.326).
One must follow the authority of the Church
with certainty. Yet, before she expresses an opinion, it is
necessary to advance spiritually, because she will not be able
to express a judgment in a vacuum, but in a confirmation which
presupposes growth of the child. First comes birth, followed
by Baptism, then Confirmation. The Church comes to confirm
him, who is born of God. We must walk and advance in the
spiritual life, affected by these messages. (Bl.330).
Before December, 1983:
So many believers never pray. Have the people
pray! Faith cannot be alive without prayer. (M 8).
I am not able to cure you. God alone, can cure
you. Pray! I will pray with you. Believe firmly, fast, do
penance. God comes to help each one. I am not God. I need your
prayers and your sacrifices to help me. (M 8).
You do not need a sign; you yourselves must be
a sign. (M 9).
Peace is necessary for prayer. Peace should be
present before prayer, and while one is praying. Prayer
should, of course, lead to peace and
reflection. (M 30).
Why ask so many questions? The answer is found
in the Gospels. (M 31).
To Jelena:
The subject on the certainties of catastrophes
comes from false prophets. They say, on such a day, at such an
hour, there will be a catastrophe. I have always said:
Punishment will come about, if the world is not converted.
Call all mankind to conversion. Everything depends on your
conversion. (M 31).
To Jelena:
When others cause you some difficulty, do not
defend it, rather, pray (M 31).
To Jelena:
I desire that you be a flower, which blossoms
for Jesus at Christmas. A flower which does not cease to bloom
when Christmas has passed. I wish that you have a shepherd's,
heart for Jesus. (M 31).
Dear children, when someone comes to you and
asks you a favor, answer by giving. Ifind myself before so
many hearts which do not open themselves to me. Pray, so that
the world willingly wants to accept my love. (M 39).
Between June and December, 1984:
Dear children, the love of God has not spread
over all the earth. That is why, pray! (M 40).
Dear children, I wish that the whole world
become my children, but they do not want to. I want to give
them all things. That is why, pray! (M 40).
Dear children, I love you so much. When you
love me, you will be able to feel it. I bless you in the name
of the Most Holy Trinity, and in my name. Go in peace. (M 40).
These are my last apparitions to mankind. With the events which are preparing themselves, and which are near, the power which Satan still holds, will be withdrawn from him. The present century has been under his power. Now that he is conscious of losing the battle, he is becoming more aggressive. He attacks the family, separates husband and wife. He creates divisions among the priests, and even gives himself to physical attacks. Protect yourselves, above all through prayer, through blessed sacred objects, through community prayer. (BN 20, 10).
Love your Serbian, Orthodox and Muslim
brothers, and the atheists who persecute you. (DN 2, 73). (Concerning information from Bishop
Franic.
All your prayers touch me very much, especially
your daily rosary. (DN 6, 15).
The weekly information given by Fr. Tomislav
Vlasic and Fr. Slavko Barbaric, to Italian pilgrims, have been
edited, in four volumes which we have designated through the
abbreviations: VB 1, VB 2, VB 3, VB 4.
Here, we re-group the messages, which are not
dated, in these four volumes. Each volume gives way to a "limit
date"as follows. The first gives some communication from May
24 to December 29, 1984. The second, January 4 to
June25, 1985; the third from July to December, 1985; and the
fourth, from January 4, 1986, to January 8, 1987.
I've already said many times, that peace in
the world is in a state of crisis. Become again, brothers to
one another Pray and fast more, in order to be saved. (Sept. 1983, VB 1, 15).
Pray, fast, and let God act.
If you want to be very happy, lead a simple,
humble life, pray very much, and do not sink into problems.
Let God resolve them. (message
also in M 30).
Peace should follow your prayer.
Often , prayer said in a loud voice keeps Jesus at a
distance, because men want to conquer with their own strength.
Then there is no more place for God. Prayers said in a loud
voice are good, but they must come from peace in the heart.
Even joy and songs can hinder the rise of the
groups, if the people deliver themselves only to emotion. (T. Vlasic, May 24, 1984; collects these teachings as
a rule of life, given by Our Lady, VB 133).
When I tell you, pray, pray, do not understand
it only as an increase in quantity. What I want is to carry
you to a profound continuous desire of God. (T. Vlasic, VB 1, 39).
The most important thing is to believe. That
is, to open one's self to God; pray and fast. (T. Vlasic, June 1,1984, VB 1, 41).
Response from Our Lady to two questions from
Tomislav Vlasic:
"Have you come to purify the new renewal
movements, which are multiplying?"
It is exactly so.
"How could Jesus pray all night, without getting
tired. What was His method?"
He had a great desire for God, and for the
salvation of souls. Prayer is a dialogue with God, a meeting
with the Gospel.
"What do you say about Oriental meditations?" (Zen, Transcendental meditation):
Why do you call them 'meditations,' when it
deals with human works? The true meditation is a meeting with
Jesus. When you discover joy, interior peace, you must know
there is only one God, and only one Mediator, Jesus Christ. (VB 1, 45).
Your days will not be the same according to
whether you pray, or you do not pray (VB 1 51).
Responses to questions asked by the seers at the
request of Tomislav Vlasic:
What do you tell the priests and religious?
Be strong in faith and protect the faith of
your people.
What do you advise us for advent?
Do what the Church tells you.
Do you want to give a sign for priests?
Have them take the Gospel and they will
understand everything. (T. Vlasic,
June 20, 1984. VB 1, 51).
Go to the heart. Words are not sufficient. Go
to the heart. (VB 1, 52).
In the past autumn (1983), Our Lady said:
I would be happy for people, families, to pray
a minimum of half-an-hour, in the morning and in the evening.
The people shook their heads at this, stated
Fr. Vlasic.
But in the spring of 1984, Our Lady said:
I know that in the parish and in all the
parishes, you can pray four hours a day, but you do not
understand it yet because you live only for your work. One
does not live from work alone, but also from prayer.
As I objected to her: "If one asks so much,
people will go away." She replied:
Not even you understand. That makes hardly a
sixth of your day (T. Vlasic, July
31, 1984. VB 1, 55).
You, do not think of wars, of evil, of
chastisements. If you think about evil, you are on the road
where one meets it. Your role is to accept Divine peace, to
live it and spread it. (VB 1, 61).
To Jelena:
Christians make a mistake in considering the
future because they think of wars and of evil. For a
Christian, there is only one attitude toward the future. It is
hope of salvation. (ibid).
Your responsibility is to accept Divine peace,
to live, and to spread it not through words, but through your
life. (Same communication of T.
Vlasic Aug. 2, 1984. VB 1, 63).
To Jelena:
The only attitude of the Christian toward the
future is hope of salvation. Those who think only of wars,
evils, punishment, do not do well.
If you think of evil, punishment, wars, you are
on the road to meeting them. Your responsibility is to accept
Divine peace, live it and spread it. (A more ample transmission of the word already cited
in VB 1, 61. T. Vlasic, Aug. 12, 1984. VB 1, 81).
If you have not listened to my messages, the
day of joy will become for me, a day of sadness. (S. Barbaric, Dec. 8, 1985. VB 1, 135).
To Ivan's prayer group:
Even the little things, entrust them to me.
Consecrate them to my mission. (S.
Barbaric, Mar. 2, 1985. VB 2, p.40).
To the question:
How does one behave before Satan?
Fervent prayer, humility, reciprocal love will
prevent Satan from approaching you.
To a question conveyed through Tomislav Vlasic at
the beginning of Lent, 1985:
What do you most wish for the fast?
The Gospa responds insisting on something else:
Honesty, love, humility and sincerity will lead
you to me. (T. Vlasic, Mar. 9,
1985. VB 2, 45).
What should one do in the midst of so many
discussions and publications on Medjugorje?
See! Now I am there, in each family, in each
home. I am everywhere because I love. Do the same. The world
lives from love.
After having repeated a song three times:
Excuse me for making you repeat, but I wish you
to sing with the heart. You must really do everything with the
heart.
And afterwards, (the seers continue, quoted by
T. Vlasic) , she made us know this at the beginning of prayer:
One has to be already prepared. If there are
some sins, one must pull them out, otherwise, one will not be
able to enter into prayer. If one has concerns, he should
submit them to God.
That same evening she said:
Take off your jackets. Here it is warm.
Remember what Jesus said: Have faith. You must abandon
yourselves to God. (All that in preparation for prayer.).
You must not preoccupy yourselves during
prayer. During prayer, you must not be preoccupied with your
sins. Sins must remain behind. (Words at the beginning of Lent, at the end of Feb. or
the beginning of Mar. 1985, reported by T. Vlasic, VB 2, 66).
Many come to pray, but do not enter into
prayer. (T. Vlasic, Apr. 5, 1985.
VB 2, 74).
When you have entered into prayer, then you are
able to pray for God's plans, because when God is there, he
inspires your plans.
Do not ask for the blessing, just as you have
done the last time. You asked for it and you did not obtain
it. (Because it is not a magic
thing, she crowns what God has inspired in you in prayer,
observes T. Vlasic, Apr. 5, 1985. VB 2, 75).
Prayer must be enjoyment in God, blossoming in
God, be
full of peace, be full of joy (T. Vlasic, Apr. 10, 1985. VB 2, 107).
Many Christians do not ever enter into prayer.
They arrive at the beginning, but they remain there. (ibid).
(If you enter into prayer after you have been
relieved of all your concerns, remorse, analysis), then you
will be able to ask God to inspire your plans from within. You
will feel what God wants, (inside of you, yourself and
your group), and then ask for the blessing. (T. Vlasic, Apr. 10, 1985. VB 2, 112).
Your work will not go well without prayer in the
morning. Pray then in the morning, and pray in the evening.
Understand that your work cannot be done well without prayer (Message of autumn 1983, T. Vlasic, Apr. 29, 1985. VB
2, 137).
Come early to church.
Sometimes it is better not to come to Mass than
to come in a hurry and to return home in a hurry, (S. Barbaric, May 18,1985, VB 2, 147).
These apparitions are the last for humanity (T. Vlasic, May31, 1985, VB 2, 165).
To Jelena, message of 1983:
Take me seriously. When God comes among men, he
does not come to joke, but to say serious things.
It is better to stay in church and pray with
faith than to gather together with onlookers near the seers
during an apparition. (Which had
then taken place in the presbytery).
Message to the prayer group which had received
many messages during Lent and was surprised not to receive any
more after Easter:
Thank you to all those who pray and feel my
presence. I regret that some individuals say the Gospa is no
longer among us. Pray, and you will feel that I am present.
In a meeting of her prayer group, Jelena saw
the desert, and in the desert, a tree, and under the tree, where
the sun was shining. In this sun, she recognized Jesus Christ.
The Gospa told her, among other things:
To this group, many graces have been given, but
you must not reject them. (T.
Vlasic, June 15, 1985, VB 2, 18).
To Jelena's group, toward the beginning of July
1985:
I cannot speak to you. Your hearts are closed.
You have not done what I told you, I cannot
speak to you. I cannot give you graces as long as you remain
closed. (T.Vlasic, July 13, 1985,
VB 3, 15).
To Jelena for her group:
Each of you has a special gift which is your
own, and can alone understand it interiorly.
To Jelena's prayer group:
It seems when you carry my messages, be on your
guard that they are not lost. Carry my messages with humility,
in such a way that on seeing happiness in you, persons will
desire to be like you. Do not carry my messages to simply
throw them to others.
T. Vlasic, July 15, 1985 comments: "Don't go
to the cities:
Milan, Rome or Turin to cry: 'The Madonna has
appeared.' Have them understand it through what you are. "
In the middle of June, 1985, Jelena saw a splendid
pearl which divided itself, and each part glittered, then it
faded. And she heard this explanation:
Jelena, man's heart is like this splendid
pearl. When he belongs completely to the Lord, he shines even
in the dark ness. But when he is divided, a little to Satan, a
little to sin, a little to everything, he fades and is no
longer worth any thing. (S.
Barbaric, Aug. 4, 1985, VB 3, 37).
To Jelena, during the week of July 28th to August
the 4th:
During these days, I wish that you consider
this idea: After so long and so much time, I have not met
Jesus, my friend. After so long and so much time, I have not
encountered my Mother, Mary. In these days, I want to
encounter them. (T. Vlasic, Aug.
5, 1985, VB 3, 39).
Do not be afraid of Satan. That isn 't worth the trouble,
because with a humble prayer, and an ardent love, one can
disarm him. (S. Barbaric, Aug. 8,
1985, VB 3, 57).
Prayer given to Jelena for her group:
My soul is full of love like the sea. My heart
is full of peace like the river. I am not a saint, but I am
invited to be one. (T. Vlasic,
Sept. 10, 1985, VB 3, 97).
Against temptations of analysis, which are
temptations from the devil:
With respect to sin, it suffices to give it
serious consideration, and soon, move ahead and correct the
sin.
Your humility must be proud (high minded). Your pride should be humble.
If you have received a gift from God, you must
be proud but do not say that it is yours. Say, rather, that it
is God's. (T. Vlasic, Sept. 10,
1985, VB 3, 98).
To Mirjana, in 1984 (Probably
Aug. - Sept.):
Every adult is capable of knowing God. The sin
of the world lies in this: It does not look for God. (T. Vlasic, Sept. 10, 1985, VB 3, 98).
To Maria, during her retreat of one week,
beginning of September, in response to her question:
Have you anything concrete for me?
Yes. I give you my love so that you can give it
to others. (S. Barbaric, Oct. 7,
1985, VB 3, 121).
The Gospa said with sadness:
Those who say, 'I do not believe in God, ' how difficult it
will be for them when they will approach the Throne of God and
hear the voice: Enter into Hell. (T.
Vlasic, Oct. 8, 1985, VB 3, 127).
To Jelena, three evenings in succession, toward
October 10th to 15th:
If you wanted to accept my love, you would
never sin.
On the following evening (the
fourth day) , Jelena asks:
Why do you always repeat the same message?
But I don't have anything else to say to you.
And she cries. (T.
Vlasic, Oct. 19, 1985, VB 3, 151).
There are many who finish their prayers, even
without entering into them. (ibid
3, 158).
A question from the pilgrims of Milan to Jelena:
We have come to you, Dear Mother. When will you
come to Milan?
The Gospa's answer through Jelena:
When you open your hearts to me. (T. Vlasic, Oct. 25, 1985, 3, 167).
Tomislav Vlasic, whom the Blessed Virgin had
entrusted with a responsibility through Jelena, asks through the
seer, Maria:
How should I do it?
Do not worry, I will help you.
If you want to be stronger than evil, and grow
in goodness, then develop an active conscience. (T. Vlasic, Nov. 2, 1985, VB 3, 179).
To a prayer group, after an hour in which prayer
of petition had prevailed:
Have you forgotten that you are in my hands? (T. Vlasic, Nov. 16, 1985, VB
3, 201).
To Jelena and Marijana, a little before February
25th:
Understand that you are nothing, incapable,
really nothing. It is the Father who will do everything. (T. Vlasic, Feb. 25, 1986, VB 4, 39).
To Jelena, for her prayer group, after prayer and
fasting:
I have listened to your prayer and yet you will
not receive what you have wished. You will receive other
things because it is not up to you to glorify yourself but to
me to glorify myself in you. (ibid
VB 4, 39).
Do not be afraid. Confide yourself to the
Father. Pray, until you are sure that He guides everything.
In difficulties, when you carry the cross, sing,
be full of joy
To a group who was praying for a person in
crisis:
You cannot do anything. I can change her. You
must only love her. Do not create any barriers in her life,
because as long as there are barriers, the river foams and
rises. Leave her free, like the river. Do not build any more
bridges because as long as one builds bridges, the river is
restricted and does not flow freely. Leave her free to flow
like the river flows.
A month later the group, frustrated in its
prayer, asks:
"But how is it that this girl (in Crisis) does not
change?"
Answer, after a long moment of prayer:
Let her run like the river. Do not create any
barriers. Do not build any bridges. Consider well and see how
many barriers you have already created, how many bridges you
have built. Be attentive not to close her. This young girl is
at the point of opening up. She has confidence in you. Be
patient still. Understand that you can do nothing. You must
only love and leave everything to me.
To Jelena:
When people ask you to speak about the
apparition, say: 'Let us pray together to understand the
apparitions of the Gospa. '
In the prayer group which found the advice from
the Gospa too rigid:
Why shut down the television? Why not even read
the newspaper?
If you look at the programs, if you look at the
newspapers,your heads are filled with news, then there is no
longer any place for me in your hearts.
Pray. Fast. Let God act!
Pray for the gift of love, for the gift of
faith, for the gift of prayer, for the gift of fasting. (T. Vlasic, Apr. 17, 1986, VB 4, 63).
To Jelena, for her group:
I beg you, destroy your house made of cardboard
which you have built on desires. Thus I will be able to act
for you. (T. Vlasic, Apr. 17,
1986, VB 4, 63).
To Maria , for her prayer group:
Dear Children, seek to make your hearts happy
through the means of prayer. Dear Children, be the joy for all
mankind, be the hope of mankind. You will only be able to
obtain it through the means of prayer. Pray, pray! (T. Vlasic, May 3, 1986, VB 4, 82).
To the prayer group during the week preceding May
3rd:
I give you the best that I can give anyone. I
give myself and my Son.
To the group on March 25th, on the Feast of the
Annunciation:
Today, before God, I say my 'Fiat ' for all of you. I
repeat it: I say my 'Fiat ' for all of you.
Dear Children, pray, so that in the whole world
may come the Kingdom of Love. How mankind would be happy if
love reigned!
To Jelena, during the autumn of 1983:
Dear Children, one lives not only from work,
one lives also from prayer.
Toward May 12th (at the
beginning of the Novena of Pentecost) to
the prayer group:
You will be happy if you do not judge
yourselves according to your faults, but if you understand
that in your faults even graces are offered to you. (T. Vlasic, May 18, 1986, VB 4, 93).
Love. If you do not love, you are not able to
transmit the testimony. You are not able to witness, neither
for me, nor for Jesus. (S. Barbaric,
June 6, 1986, VB 4, 105).
I wish for all of you to be the reflection of
Jesus. He will thus illuminate this unfaithful world which
moves in darkness (ibid VB 4,
105).
Pray before the Cross. Special graces come from
the Cross. Consecrate yourselves to the Cross. Do not
blaspheme neither Jesus nor the Cross. (S. Barbaric, June 20, 1986, VB 4, 109).
You will have as many graces as you want. That
depends on you. You will have love when you want it, as long
as you want it. That depends on you. (T. Vlasic, June 26, 1986, VB 4, 110).
To the prayer group (July
10, 1986), before giving her blessing,
at the end of an evaluation of the group:
I thank you for that. You have done well, but
do not forget
(. .. ); basically, God's will is decisive. (T. Vlasic, July 20, 1986, VB 4, 121).
I wish only that for you the Rosary become your
life. (T. Vlasic,
Aug.
4, 1986, VB 4, 134).
Read each Thursday the Gospel of Matthew, where
it is said: No one can serve two masters (...). You cannot serve God
and money. (Mt. 6, 24-34. - T.
Vlasic, Aug. 5, 1986, VB 4, 14).
To Jelena, for her group:
I wish only that you would be happy, that you
would be filled with joy, that you be filled with peace and
announce this joy. (ibid).
To the prayer group:
if you would
abandon yourselves to me, you will not even feel the passage
from this life to the next life. You will begin to live the
life of Heaven from this earth. (T.
Vlasic, Aug, 7, 1986, VB 4, 142).
To Jelena, the beginning of September 1986:
Today it is not words nor deeds which are
important. The important thing is only to pray, to remain in
God. (T. Vlasic, Sept. 9, 1986, VB
4, 156).
Many have begun to pray for healing here at Medjugorje, but, when they have returned to their homes, they abandon prayer, forget, and also lose many graces. (S. Barbaric, Sept. 12, 1986 VB 4, 158).
Message of Jesus through Jelena:
I am joyful, but my joy is not complete until
you are filled with joy. You are not yet filled with joy
because you are not yet at the stage of understanding my
immense love. (T. Vlasic, Oct. 8,
1986, VB 4, 167).
Answer from the Gospa through a seer, to Tomislav
Vlasic, who was confronted with problems dealing with truth:
"Should I write, answer these injustices, these
lies?"
Do not waste your time. Pray and love. You
cannot even imagine how powerful God is. (T. Vlasic, Dec. 29, 1986, VB 4, 213).
To Vicka:
Do you want to offer yourself, also, for the
salvation of the world? I need your sacrifices.
To a group from the parish of Medjugorje:
Come at 11 o 'clock at night to the place of the
apparitions (...). Come at three o'clock in the morning to pray at the
place of the Apparition.
Come at one o'clock in the morning to Krizevac.
Come and pray all night.
It is to Ivan's group that these messages of
nocturnal prayer were addressed on the hill of the first
apparitions, or at Krizevac. (T. Vlasic,
Dec. 31, 1986, VB 4, 220).

May 25, 1988
"Dear children! I am inviting you to a complete surrender to God.
Pray, little children, that Satan may not carry you about like the
branches in the wind. Be strong in God. I desire that through you
the whole world may get to know the God of joy. By your life bear
witness for God's joy. Do not be anxious nor worried. God himself
will help you and show you the way. I desire that you love all men
with my love. Only in that way can love reign over the world.
Little children, you are mine. I love you and want you to
surrender to me so that I can lead you to God. Never cease praying
so that Satan cannot take advantage of you. Pray for the knowledge
that you are mine. I bless you with blessings of joy. Thank you
for having responded to my call."
June 25, 1988
"Dear children! I am calling you to that love which is loyal and
pleasing to God. Little children, love bears everything bitter and
difficult for the sake of Jesus who is love. Therefore, dear
children, pray that God come to your aid, not however according to
your desire, but according to His love. Surrender yourself to God
so that He may hear you, console you and forgive everything inside
you which is a hindrance on the way of love. In this way God can
move your life, and you will grow in love. Dear children, glorify
God with a hymn of love so that God's love may be able to grow in
you day by day to its fullness. Thank you for having responded to
my call."
July 25, 1988
"Dear children! Today I am calling you to a complete surrender to
God. Everything you do and everything you possess give over to God
so that He can take control in your life as the King of all that
you possess. That way, through me, God can lead you into the
depths of the spiritual life. Little children, do not be afraid,
because I am with you even if you think there is no way out and
that Satan is in control. I am bringing peace to you I am your
mother, the Queen of Peace. I am blessing you with the blessings
of joy so that for you God may be everything in your life. Thank
you for having responded to my call."
August 25, 1988
"Dear children! Today I invite you all to rejoice in the life
which God gives you. Little children, rejoice in God, the Creator,
because He has created you so wonderfully. Pray that your life be
joyful thanksgiving which flows out of your heart like a river of
joy. Little children, give thanks unceasingly for all that you
possess, for each little gift which God has given you, so that a
joyful blessing always comes down from God upon your life. Thank
you for having responded to my call."
September 25, 1988
"Dear children! Today I am inviting all of you, without
exception, to the way of holiness in your life. God gave you the
grace, the gift of holiness. Pray that you may, more and more,
comprehend it, and in that way, you will be able, by your life, to
bear witness for God. Dear children, I am blessing you and I
intercede to God for you so that your way and your witness may be
a complete one and a joy for God. Thank you for having responded
to my call."
October 25, 1988
"Dear children! My invitation that you live the messages which I
am giving you is a daily one, specially, little children, because
I want to draw you closer to the Heart of Jesus. Therefore, little
children, I am inviting you today to the prayer of consecration to
Jesus, my dear Son, so that each of you may be His. And then I am
inviting you to the consecration of my Immaculate Heart. I want
you to consecrate yourselves as parents, as families and as
parishioners so that all belong to God through my heart.
Therefore, little children, pray that you comprehend the greatness
of this message which I am giving you. I do not want anything for
myself, rather all for the salvation of your soul. Satan is strong
and therefore, you, little children, by constant prayer, press
tightly against my motherly heart. Thank you for having responded
to my call."
November 25, 1988
"Dear children! I call you to prayer, to have an encounter with
God in prayer. God gives Himself to you, but He wants you to
answer in your own freedom to his invitation. That is why little
children during the day, find yourself a special time when you
could pray in peace and humility, and have this meeting with God
the creator. I am with you and I intercede for you in front of
God, so watch in vigil, so that every encounter in prayer be the
joy of your contact with God. Thank you for having responded to my
call."
December 25, 1988
"Dear children! I call you to peace. Live it in your heart and
all around you, so that all will know peace, peace that does not
come from you but from God. Little children, today is a great day.
Rejoice with me. Glorify the Nativity of Jesus through the peace
that I give you. It is for this peace that I have come as your
Mother, Queen of Peace. Today I give you my special blessing.
Bring it to all creation, so that all creation will know peace.
Thank you for having responded to my call."
January 25, 1989
"Dear children! Today I am calling you to the way of holiness.
Pray that you may comprehend the beauty and the greatness of this
way where God reveals himself to you in a special way. Pray that
you may be open to everything that God does through you that in
your life you may be enabled to give thanks to God and to rejoice
over everything that He does through each individual. I give you
my blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."
February 25, 1989
"Dear children! Today I invite you to prayer of the heart.
Throughout this season of grace I wish each of you to be united
with Jesus, but without unceasing prayer you cannot experience the
beauty and greatness of the grace which God is offering you.
Therefore, little children, at all times fill your heart with even
the smallest prayers. I am with you and unceasingly keep watch
over every heart which is given to me. Thank you for having
responded to my call."
March 25, 1989
"Dear children! I am calling you to a complete surrender to God.
I am calling you to great joy and peace which only God can give. I
am with you and I intercede for you every day before God. I call
you, little children, to listen to me and to live the messages
that I am giving you. Already for years you are invited to
holiness but you are still far away. I am blessing you. Thank you
for having responded to my call."
April 25, 1989
"Dear children! I am calling you to a complete surrender to God.
Let everything that you possess be in the hands of God. Only in
that way shall you have joy in your heart. Little children,
rejoice in everything that you have. Give thanks to God because
everything is God's gift to you. That way in your life you shall
be able to give thanks for everything and discover God in
everything even in the smallest flower. Thank you for having
responded to my call."
May 25, 1989
"Dear children! I invite you now to be open to God. See,
children, how nature is opening herself and is giving life and
fruits. In the same way I invite you to live with God and to
surrender completely to him. Children, I am with you and I want to
introduce you continuously to the joy of life. I desire that
everyone may discover the joy and love which can be found only in
God and which only God can give. God doesn't want anything from
you only your surrender. Therefore, children, decide seriously for
God because everything else passes away. Only God doesn't pass
away. Pray to be able to discover the greatness and joy of life
which God gives you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
June 25, 1989
"Dear children! Today I am calling you to live the messages I
have been giving you during the past eight years. This is the time
of grace and I desire the grace of God be great for every single
one of you. I am blessing you and I love you with a special love.
Thank you for having responded to call."
July 25, 1989
"Dear children! Today I am calling you to renew your hearts. Open
yourselves to God and surrender to him all your difficulties and
crosses so, God may turn everything into joy. Little children, you
cannot open yourselves to God if you do not pray. Therefore, from
today, decide to consecrate a time in the day only for an
encounter with God in silence. In that way you will be able, with
God, to witness my presence here. Little children, I do not wish
to force you. Rather freely give God your time, like children of
God. Thank you for having responded to my call."
August 25, 1989
"Dear children! I call you to prayer. By means of prayer, little
children, you obtain joy and peace. Through prayer you are richer
in the mercy of God. Therefore, little children, let prayer be the
life of each one of you. Especially I call you to pray so that all
those who are far away from God may be converted. Then our hearts
shall be richer because God will rule in the hearts of all men.
Therefore, little children, pray, pray, pray! Let prayers begin to
rule in the whole world. Thank you for having responded to my
call."
September 25, 1989
"Dear children! Today I invite you to give thanks to God for all
the gifts you have discovered in the course of your life and even
for the least gift that you have perceived. I give thanks with you
and want all of you to experience the joy of these gifts. And I
want God to be everything for each one of you. And then, little
children, you can grow continuously on the way of holiness. Thank
you for responding to my call."
October 25, 1989
"Dear children! Today also I am inviting you to prayer. I am
always inviting you, but you are still far away. Therefore, from
today, decide seriously to dedicate time to God. I am with you and
I wish to teach you to pray with the heart. In prayer with the
heart you shall encounter God. Therefore, little children, pray,
pray, pray! Thank you for having responded to my call."
November 25, 1989
"Dear children! I am inviting you for years by these messages
which I am giving you. Little children, by means of the messages I
wish to make a very beautiful mosaic in your hearts, so I may be
able to present each one of you to God like the original image.
Therefore, little children, I desire that your decisions be free
before God, because He has given you freedom. Therefore pray, so
that, free from any influence of Satan, we may decide only for
God. I am praying for you before God and I am seeking your
surrender to God. Thank you for responding to my call."
December 25, 1989
"Dear children! Today I bless you in a special way with my
motherly blessing and I am interceding for you before God that He
gives you the gift of conversion of the heart. For years I am
calling you and exhorting you to a deep spiritual life in
simplicity, but you are so cold. Therefore, little children, I ask
you to accept and live the messages with seriousness, so that your
soul will not be sad when I will no longer be with you, and when I
will no longer lead you like insecure children in their first
steps. Therefore, little children, every day read the messages
that I have given you and transform them into life. I love you and
therefore I am calling you all to the way of salvation with God.
Thank you for having responded to my call."
January 25, 1990
"Dear children! Today I invite you to decide for God once again
and to choose Him before everything and above everything, so that
He may work miracles in your life and that day by day your life
may become joy with Him. Therefore, little children, pray and do
not permit Satan to work in your life through misunderstandings,
the non-understanding and non-acceptance of one another. Pray that
you may be able to comprehend the greatness and the beauty of the
gift of life. Thank you for having responded to my call."
February 2, 1990
Mirjana received this apparition in Portland, Oregon in the United
States of America while visiting Father Milan Mekulich who
presided at her marriage. Mirjana had been receiving interior
locutions on the second day of each month but on this occasion she
was graced by an apparition and a message for the world.
"I have been with you nine years. For nine years I wanted to
tell you that God, your Father, is the only way, truth and life.
I wish to show you the way to Eternal Life. I wish to be your
tie, your connection to the profound faith. LISTEN TO ME!
Take your Rosary and get your children, your families with you.
This is the way to come to salvation. Give your good example to
your children: give a good example to those who do not believe.
You will not have happiness on this earth, neither will you come
to Heaven if you are not with pure and humble hearts, and do not
fulfill the law of God. I am asking for your help to join me to
pray for those who do not believe. You are helping me very
little. You have little charity or love for your neighbor and
God gave you the love and showed you how you should forgive and
love others. For that reason, reconcile and purify your soul.
TAKE YOUR ROSARY AND PRAY IT. All your sufferings take
patiently. You should remember that Jesus was patiently
suffering for you.
Let me be your Mother and your tie to God, to the Eternal Life.
Do not impose your faith on the unbelievers. Show it to them by
your example and pray for them. MY CHILDREN, PRAY!"
Mirjana told Fr. Milan that Our Lady was referring to the
Sacrament of Reconciliation, for Catholics, when She said. "...reconcile
and purify your soul."
Through the years, Our Lady has given several bold and strong
messages when the visionaries have had their apparitions in
America, as this message given to Mirjana in America shows.
Marija’s apparitions in America have been profound, Our Lady being
boldly forward in messages given in Alabama about Her Special
Blessing and to spread it, which the mentality in Medjugorje has
oppressed. Jakov had his last apparition in America. It is viewed
by some that Our Lady has done this because the mentality in
America is more apt to release what Our Lady says and get the
information out. (taken from www.medjugorje.com) (next
added message is that of February 2nd 1997)
February 25, 1990
"Dear children! I invite you to surrender to God. In this season
I specially want you to renounce all the things to which you are
attached but which are hurting your spiritual life. Therefore,
little children, decide completely for God, and do not allow Satan
to come into your life through those things that hurt both you and
your spiritual life. Little children, God is offering Himself to
you in fullness, and you can discover and recognize Him only in
prayer. Therefore make a decision for prayer. Thank you for having
responded to call."
March 25, 1990
"Dear children! I am with you even if you are not conscious of
it. I want to protect you from everything that Satan offers you
and through which he wants to destroy you. As I bore Jesus in my
womb, so also, dear children, do I wish to bear you into holiness.
God wants to save you and sends you messages through men, nature,
and so many things which can only help you to understand that you
must change the direction of your life. Therefore, little
children, understand also the greatness of the gift which God is
giving you through me, so that I may protect you with my mantle

to live the messages which I am giving you. I am with you and I
desire, dear children, that each one of you be ever closer to my
heart. Therefore, little children, pray and seek the will of God
in your everyday life. I desire that each one of you discover the
way of holiness and grow in it until eternity. I will pray for you

this novena. Consecrate the time to prayer and to sacrifice. I am
with you and I desire to help you to grow in renunciation and
mortification, that you may be able to understand the beauty of
the life of people who go on giving themselves to me in special
way. Dear children, God blesses you day after day and desires a
change of your life. Therefore, pray that you may have the
strength to change your life. Thank you for having responded to my

call."

the Queen of Peace and I desire to enrich you with my motherly
peace. Dear children, I love you and I desire to bring all of you
to the peace which only God gives and which enriches every heart.
I invite you to become carriers and witnesses of my peace to this
unpeaceful world. Let peace reign in the whole world which is
without peace and longs for peace. I bless you with my motherly
blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."
August 25, 1990
"Dear children! I desire to invite you to take with seriousness
and put into practice the messages which I am giving you. You
know, little children, that I am with you and I desire to lead you
along the same path to heaven, which is beautiful for those who
discover it in prayer. Therefore, little children, do not forget
that those messages which I am giving you have to be put into your
everyday life in order that you might be able to say: "There, I
have taken the messages and tried to live them." Dear children, I
am protecting you before the heavenly Father by my own prayers.
Thank you for having responded to my call."
September 25, 1990
"Dear children! I invite you to pray with the heart in order that
your prayer may be a conversation with God. I desire each one of
you to dedicate more time to God. Satan is strong and wants to
destroy and deceive you in many ways. Therefore, dear children,
pray every day that your life will be good for yourselves and for
all those you meet. I am with you and I am protecting you even
though Satan wishes to destroy my plans and to hinder the desires
which the Heavenly Father wants to realize here. Thank you for
having responded to my call."
October 25, 1990
"Dear children! Today I call you to pray in a special way that
you offer up sacrifices and good deeds for peace in the world.
Satan is strong and with all his strength, desires to destroy the
peace which comes from God. Therefore, dear children, pray in a
special way with me for peace. I am with you and I desire to help
you with my prayers and I desire to guide you on the path of
peace. I bless you with my motherly blessing. Do not forget to
live the messages of peace. Thank you for having responded to my
call."
November 25, 1990
"Dear children! Today I invite you to do works of mercy with love
and out of love for me and for your and my brothers and sisters.

and humility towards God. I am with you and day after day I offer
your sacrifices and prayers to God for the salvation of the world.
Thank you for having responded to my call."
December 25, 1990
"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 little Jesus neither today nor in your daily lives.
Therefore, pray the Lord of Peace that He may protect you with His
mantle and that He may help you to comprehend the greatness and
the importance of peace in your heart. In this way you shall be
able to spread peace from your heart throughout the whole world. I
am with you and I intercede for you before God. Pray, because
Satan wants to destroy my plans of peace. Be reconciled with one
another and by means of your lives help peace reign in the whole
earth. Thank you for having responded to my call."
"Dear children! Today, like never before, I invite you to prayer.
Let your prayer be a prayer for peace. Satan is strong and desires
to destroy not only human life, but also nature and the planet on
which you live. Therefore, dear children, pray that through prayer
you can protect yourselves with God's blessing of peace. God has
sent me among you so that I may help you. If you so wish, grasp
for the rosary. Even the rosary alone can work miracles in the
world and in your lives. I bless you and I remain with you for as
long as it is God's will. Thank you for not betraying my presence
here and I thank you because your response is serving the good and
the peace."
February 25, 1991
"Dear children! Today, I invite you to decide for God, because
distance from god is the fruit of the lack of peace in your
hearts. God is only peace. Therefore, approach Him through your
personal prayer and then live peace in your hearts and in this way
peace will flow from your hearts like a river into the whole
world. Do not talk about peace, but make peace. I am blessing each
of you and each good decision of yours. Thank you for having
responded to my call."
March 25, 1991

hearts. I am with you and I accompany you with my blessing any my
prayers. Thank you for having responded to my call."
April 25, 1991
"Dear children! Today I invite you all so that your prayer be
prayer with the heart. Let each of you find time for prayer so
that in prayer you discover God. I do not desire you to talk about
prayer, but to pray. Let your every day be filled with prayer of
gratitude to God for life and for all that you have. I do not
desire your life to pass by in words but that you glorify God with
deeds. I am with you and I am grateful to God for every moment
spent with you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
May 25,1991
"Dear Children! Today I invite all of you who have heard my
message of peace to realize it with seriousness and with love in
your life. There are many who think that they are doing a lot by
talking about the messages, but do not live them. Dear children, I
invite you to life and to change all the negative in you, so that
it all turns into the positive and life. Dear children, I am with
you and I desire to help each of you to live and by living, to
witness the good news. I am here, dear children, to help you and
to lead you to heaven, and in heaven is the joy through which you
can already live heaven now. Thank you for having responded to my
call!"
June 25,1991
"Dear children! Today on this great day which you have given to
me, I desire to bless all of you and to say: these days while I am
with you are days of grace. I desire to teach you and help you to
walk the way of holiness. There are many people who do not desire
to understand my messages and to accept with seriousness what I am
saying. But you I therefore call and ask that by your lives and by
your daily living you witness my presence. If you pray, God will
help you to discover the true reason for my coming. Therefore,
little children, pray and read the Sacred Scriptures so that
through my coming you discover the message in Sacred Scripture for
you Thank you for having responded to my call."
July 25, 1991
"Dear Children! Today I invite you to pray for peace. At this
time peace is being threatened in a special way, and I am seeking
from you to renew fasting and prayer in your families. Dear
children, I desire you to grasp the seriousness of the situation
and that much of what will happen depends on your prayers and you
are praying a little bit. Dear children, I am with you and I am
inviting you to begin to pray and fast seriously as in the first
days of my coming. Thank you for having responded to my call."
August 25, 1991
"Dear Children! Today also I invite you to prayer, now as never
before when my plan has begun to be realized. Satan is strong and
wants to sweep away plans of peace and joy and make you think that
my Son is not strong in his decisions. Therefore, I call all of
you, dear children to pray and fast still more firmly. I invite
you to realize through the secrets I began in Fatima may be
fulfilled. I call you, dear children, to grasp the importance of
my coming and the seriousness of the situation. I want to save all
souls and present them to God. Therefore, let us pray that
everything I have begun be fully realized. Thank you for having
responded to my call."
September 25, 1991
"Dear children! Today in a special way I invite you all to prayer
and renunciation. For now as never before Satan wants to show the
world his shameful face by which he wants to seduce as many people
as possible onto the way of death and sin. Therefore, dear
children, help my Immaculate Heart to triumph in the sinful world.
I beseech all of you to offer prayers and sacrifices for my
intentions so I can present them to God for what is most
necessary. Forget your desires, dear children, and pray for what
God desires, and not for what you desire. Thank you for having
responded to my call."
October 25, 1991
"Dear children! Pray! Pray! Pray!"
November 25, 1991
"Dear Children! This time also I am inviting you to prayer. Pray
that you might be able to comprehend what God desires to tell you
through my presence and through the messages I am giving you. I
desire to draw you ever closer to Jesus and to His wounded heart
that you might be able to comprehend the immeasurable love which
gave itself for each one of you. Therefore, dear children, pray
that from your heart would flow a fountain of love to every person
both to the one who hates you and to the one who despises you.
That way you will be able through Jesus' love to overcome all the
misery in this world of sorrows, which is without hope for those
who do not know Jesus. I am with you and I love you with the
immeasurable love of Jesus. Thank you for all your sacrifices and
prayers. Pray so I might be able to help you still more. Your
prayers are necessary to me. Thank you for having responded to my
call."
December 25, 1991
"Dear children! Today in a special way I bring the little Jesus
to you, that He may bless you with His blessing of peace and love.
Dear children, do not forget that this is a grace which many
people neither understand nor accept. Therefore, you who have said
that you are mine, and seek my help, give all of yourself. First
of all, give your love and example in your families. You say that
Christmas is a family feast. Therefore, dear children, put God in
the first place in your families, so that He may give you peace
and may protect you not only from war, but also in peace protect
you from every satanic attack. When God is with you, you have
everything. But when you do not want Him, then you are miserable
and lost, and you do not know on whose side you are. Therefore,
dear children, decide for God. Then you will get everything. Thank
you for having responded to my call."
January 25, 1992
"Dear Children! Today, I am inviting you to a renewal of prayer
in your families so that way every family will become a joy to my
son Jesus. Therefore, dear children, pray and seek more time for
Jesus and then you will be able to understand and accept
everything, even the most difficult sicknesses and crosses. I am
with you and I desire to take you into my heart and protect you,
but you have not yet decided. Therefore, dear children, I am
seeking for you to pray, so through prayer you would allow me to
help you. Pray, my dear little children, so prayer becomes your
daily bread. Thank you for having responded to my call."
February 25, 1992
"Dear children! Today I invite you to draw still closer to God
through prayer. Only that way will I be able to help you and to
protect you from every attack of Satan. I am with you and I
intercede for you with God, that He protect you. But I need your
prayers and your - "Yes." You get lost easily in material and
human things, and forget that God is your greatest friend.
Therefore, my dear little children, draw close to God so He may
protect you and guard you from every evil. Thank you for having
responded to my call!"
March 25, 1992
"Dear children! Today as never before I invite you to live my
messages and to put them into practice in your life. I have come
to you to help you and, therefore, I invite you to change your
life because you have taken a path of misery, a path of ruin. When
I told you: convert, pray, fast, be reconciled, you took these
messages superficially. You started to live them and then you
stopped, because it was difficult for you. No, dear children, when
something is good, you have to persevere in the good and not
think: God does not see me, He is not listening, He is not
helping. And so you have gone away from God and from me because of
your miserable interest. I wanted to create of you an oasis of
peace, love and goodness. God wanted you, with your love and with
His help, to do miracles and, thus, give an example. Therefore,
here is what I say to you: Satan is playing with you and with your
souls and I cannot help you because you are far away from my
heart. Therefore, pray, live my messages and then you will see the
miracles of God's love in your everyday life. Thank you for having
responded to my call."
April 25, 1992
"Dear children! Today also I invite you to prayer. Only by prayer
and fasting can war be stopped. Therefore, my dear little
children, pray and by your life give witness that you are mine and
that you belong to me, because Satan wishes in these turbulent
days to seduce as many souls as possible. Therefore, I invite you
to decide for God and He will protect you and show you what you
should do and which path to take. I invite all those who have said
"yes" to me to renew their consecration to my Son Jesus and to His
Heart and to me so we can take you more intensely as instruments
of peace in this unpeaceful world. Medjugorje is a sign to all of
you and a call to pray and live the days of grace that God is
giving you. Therefore, dear children, accept the call to prayer
with seriousness. I am with you and your suffering is also mine.
Thank you for having responded to my call."
May 25, 1992
"Dear children! Today also I invite you to prayer, so that
through prayer you come still nearer to God. I am with you and I
desire to lead you on the path to salvation that Jesus gives you.
From day to day, I am nearer to you although you are not aware of
it and you do not want to admit that you are only linked to me in
a small way with your few prayers. When trials and problems arise,
you say, "O God! O Mother! Where are you?" As for me, I only wait
for your "Yes" to present to Jesus for Him to fill you with His
grace. That is why, once more, please accept my call and start to
pray in a new way until prayer becomes joy to you. Then you will
discover that God is all powerful in your daily life. I am with
you and I am waiting for you. Thank you for having responded to my
call."
June 25, 1992
"Dear children! Today I am happy, even if in my heart there is
still a little sadness for all those who have started on this path
and then have left it. My presence here is to take you on a new
path, the path to salvation. This is why I call you, day after day
to conversion. But if you do not pray, you can not say that you
are on the way to being converted. I pray for you and I intercede
to God for peace; first peace in your hearts and also peace around
you, so that God may be your peace. Thank you for having responded
to my call."
July 25, 1992
"Dear children! Today also I invite you to prayer, a prayer of
joy so that in these sad days no one amongst you may feel sadness
in prayer, but a joyful meeting with God His Creator. Pray, little
children, to be able to come closer to me and to feel through
prayer what it is I desire from you. I am with you and each day I
bless you with my maternal blessing so that Our Lord may fill you
abundantly with His grace for your daily life. Give thanks to God
for the grace of my being able to be with you because I assure you
it is a great grace. Thank you for having responded to my call."
August 25, 1992
"Dear children! Today I desire to tell you that I love you. I
love you with my maternal love and I invite you to open yourselves
completely to me so that, through each one of you, I can convert
and save this world which is full of sin and bad things. That is
why, my dear little children, you should open yourselves
completely to me so that I may carry you always further toward the
marvelous love of God the Creator who reveals Himself to you from
day to day. I am with you and I wish to reveal to you and show you
the God who loves you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
September 25, 1992
"Dear children! Today again I would like to say to you that I am
with you also in these troubled days during which Satan wishes to
destroy all that my Son Jesus and I are building. He desires
especially to destroy your souls. He wants to take you away as far
as possible from the Christian life and from the commandments that
the Church calls you to live. Satan wishes to destroy everything
that is holy in you and around you. This is why, little children,
pray, pray, pray to be able to grasp all that God is giving you
through my coming. Thank you for having responded to my call."
October 25, 1992
"Dear children! I invite you to prayer now when Satan is strong
and wishes to make as many souls as possible his own. Pray, dear
children, and have more trust in me because I am here in order to
help you and to guide you on a new path toward a new life.
Therefore, dear little children, listen and live what I tell you
because it is important for you when I shall not be with you any
longer that you remember my words and all that I told you. I call
you to begin to change your life from the beginning and that you
decide for conversion not with words but with your life. Thank you
for having responded to my call."
November 25, 1992
"Dear Children! Today, more than ever, I am calling you to pray.
May your life become a continuous prayer. Without love you can not
pray. That is why I am calling you to love God, the Creator of
your lives, above everything else. Then you will come to know God
and will love Him in everything as He loves you. Dear children, it
is a grace that I am with you. That is why you should accept and
live my messages for your own good. I love you and that is why I
am with you, in order to teach you and to lead you to a new life
of conversion and renunciation. Only in this way will you discover
God and all that which now seems so far away from you. Therefore,
my dear children, pray. Thank you for having responded to my
call."
December 25, 1992
"Dear children! I desire to place all of you under my mantle and
protect you from all satanic attacks. Today is a day of peace, but
in the whole world there is a great lack of peace. That is why I
call you all to build a new world of peace with me through prayer.
This I can not do without you, and this is why I call all of you
with my motherly love and God will do the rest. So, open
yourselves to God's plan and to His designs to be able to
cooperate with Him for peace and for everything that is good. Do
not forget that your life does not belong to you, but is a gift
with which you must bring joy to others and lead them to eternal
life. May the tenderness of the little Jesus always accompany you.
Thank you for having responded to my call."
January 25, 1993
"Dear children! Today I call you to accept and live my messages
with seriousness. These days are the days when you need to decide
for God, for peace and for the good. May every hatred and jealousy
disappear from your life and your thoughts, and may there only
dwell love for God and for your neighbor. Thus, and only thus
shall you be able to discern the signs of the time. I am with you
and I guide you into a new time, a time which God gives you as
grace so that you may get to know him more. Thank you for having
responded to my call."
February 25, 1993
"Dear children! Today I bless you with my motherly blessing and I
invite you all to conversion. I wish that each of you decide for a
change of life and that each of you works more in the Church not
through words and thoughts but through example, so that your life
may be a joyful testimony for Jesus. You cannot say that you are
converted, because your life must become a daily conversion. In
order to understand what you have to do, little children, pray and
God will give you what you completely have to do, and where you
have to change. I am with you and place you all under my mantle.
Thank you for having responded to my call."
March 25, 1993
"Dear children! Today like never I call you to pray for peace,
for peace in your hearts, peace in your families and peace in the
whole world, because Satan wants war, wants lack of peace, wants
to destroy all which is good. Therefore, dear children, pray,
pray, pray. Thank you for having responded to my call."
April 25, 1993
"Dear children! Today I invite you all to awaken your hearts to
love. Go into nature and look how nature is awakening and it will
be a help to you to open your hearts to the love of God, the
Creator. I desire you to awaken love in your families so that
where there is unrest and hatred, love will reign and when there
is love in your hearts then there is also prayer. And, dear
children, do not forget that I am with you and I am helping you
with my prayer that God may give you the strength to love. I bless
and love you with my motherly love. Thank you for having responded
to my call."
May 25, 1993
"Dear children! Today I invite you to open yourselves to God by
means of prayer so the Holy Spirit may begin to work miracles in
you and through you. I am with you and I intercede before God for
each one of you because, dear children, each one of you is
important in my plan of salvation. I invite you to be carriers of
good and peace. God can give you peace only if you convert and
pray. Therefore, my dear little children, pray, pray, pray and do
that which the Holy Spirit inspires you. Thank you for having
responded to my call."
June 25, 1993
"Dear children! Today I also rejoice at your presence here. I
bless you with my motherly blessing and intercede for each one of
you before God. I call you anew to live my messages and to put
them into life and practice. I am with you and bless all of you
day by day. Dear children, these are special times and, therefore,
I am with you to love and protect you; to protect your hearts from
Satan and to bring you all closer to the heart of my Son, Jesus.
Thank you for having responded to my call."
July 25, 1993
"Dear children! I thank you for your prayers and for the love you
show toward me. I invite you to decide to pray for my intentions.
Dear children, offer novenas, making sacrifices wherein you feel
the most bound. I want your life to be bound to me. I am your
Mother, little children, and I do not want Satan to deceive you
for He wants to lead you the wrong way, but he cannot if you do
not permit him. Therefore, little children, renew prayer in your
hearts, and then you will understand my call and my live desire to
help you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
August 25, 1993
"Dear children! I want you to understand that I am your Mother,
that I want to help you and call you to prayer. Only by prayer can
you understand and accept my messages and practice them in your
life. Read Sacred Scripture, live it, and pray to understand the
signs of the times. This is a special time, therefore, I am with
you to draw you close to my heart and the heart of my Son, Jesus.
Dear little children, I want you to be children of the light and
not of the darkness. Therefore, live what I am telling you. Thank
you for having responded to my call."
September 25, 1993
"Dear children! I am your Mother and I invite you to come closer
to God through prayer because only He is your peace, your savior.
Therefore, little children, do not seek comfort in material
things, but rather seek God. I am praying for you and I intercede
before God for each individual. I am looking for your prayers that
you accept me and accept my messages as in the first days of the
apparitions and only then when you open your hearts and pray will
miracles happen. Thank you for having responded to my call."
October 25, 1993
"Dear children! These years I have been calling you to pray, to
live what I am telling you, but you are living my messages a
little. You talk, but do not live, that is why little children,
this war is lasting so long. I invite you to open yourselves to
God and in your hearts to live with God, living the good and
giving witness to my messages. I love you and wish to protect you
from every evil, but you do not desire it. Dear children, I cannot
help you if you do not live God's commandments, if you do not live
the mass, if you do not give up sin. I invite you to be apostles
of love and goodness. In this world of unrest give witness to God
and God's love, and God will bless you and give you what you seek
from Him. Thank you for having responded to my call."
November 25, 1993
"Dear children! I invite you in this time like never before to
prepare for the coming of Jesus. Let little Jesus reign in your
hearts and only then when Jesus is your friend will you be happy.
It will not be difficult for you either to pray or offer
sacrifices or to witness Jesus' greatness in your life because He
will give you strength and joy in this time. I am close to you by
my intercession and prayer and I love and bless all of you. Thank
you for having responded to my call."
December 25, 1993
"Dear children! Today i rejoice with the little Jesus and I
desire that Jesus' joy may enter into every heart. Little
children, with the message I give you a blessing with my son
Jesus, so that in every heart peace may reign. I love you, little
children, and I invite all of your to come closer to me by means
of prayer. You talk and talk but do not pray. Therefore, little
children, decide for prayer. Only in this way will you be happy
and God will give your what you seek from Him. Thank you for
having responded to my call."
January 25,1994
"Dear children! You are all my children. I love you. But, little
children, you must not forget that without prayer you cannot be
close to me. In these times Satan wants to create disorder in your
hearts and in your families. Little children, do not give in. You
should not allow him to lead you and your life. I love you and
intercede before God for you. Little children, pray. Thank you for
having responded to my call."
February 25, 1994
"Dear children! Today I thank you for your prayers. All of you
have helped me so that this war may end as soon as possible. I am
close to you and I pray for each one of you and I beg you: pray,
pray, pray. Only through prayer can we defeat evil and protect all
that Satan wants to destroy in your lives. I am your Mother and I
love you all equally, and I intercede for you before God. Thank
you for having responded to my call."
March 25, 1994
"Dear children! Today I rejoice with you and I invite you to open
yourselves to me, and become an instrument in my hands for the
salvation of the world. I desire, little children, that all of you
who have felt the odor of holiness through these messages which I
am giving you to carry, to carry it into this world, hungry for
God and God's love. I thank you all for having responded in such a
number and I bless you all with my motherly blessing. Thank you
for having responded to my call."
April 25, 1994
"Dear children! Today I invite you to decide to pray according to
my intention. Little children, I invite each one of you to help my
plan to be realized through this parish. Now I invite you in a
special way, little children, to decide to go along the way of
holiness. Only this way will you be close to me. I love you and I
desire to conduct you all with me to Paradise. But, if you do not
pray and if you are not humble and obedient to the messages which
I am giving you, I cannot help you. Thank you for having responded
to my call."
May 25, 1994
"Dear children! I invite you all to have more trust in me and to
live my messages more deeply. I am with you and I intercede before
God for you but also I wait for your hearts to open up to my
messages. Rejoice because God loves you and gives you the
possibility to convert every day and to believe more in God the
Creator. Thank you having responded to my call."
June 25, 1994
"Dear children! Today I rejoice in my heart in seeing you all
present here. I bless you and I call you all to decide to live my
messages which I give you here. I desire, little children, to
guide you all to Jesus because He is your salvation. Therefore,
little children, the more you pray the more you will be mine and
of my Son, Jesus. I bless you all with my motherly blessing and I
thank you for having responded to my call."
July 25, 1994
"Dear children! Today I invite you to decide to give time
patiently for prayer. Little children, you cannot say you are mine
and that you have experienced conversion through my messages if
you are not ready to give time to God every day. I am close to you
and I bless you all. Little children, do not forget that if you do
not pray you are not close to me, nor are you close to the Holy
Spirit who leads you along the path to holiness. Thank you for
having responded to my call."
August 25, 1994
"Dear children! Today I am united with you in prayer in a special
way, praying for the gift of the presence of my most beloved son
in your home country. Pray, little children, for the health of my
most beloved son, who suffers, and whom I have chosen for these
times. I pray and intercede before my Son, Jesus, so that the
dream that your fathers had may be fulfilled. Pray, little
children, in a special way, because Satan is strong and wants to
destroy hope in your heart. I bless you. Thank you for having
responded to my call."
September 25, 1994
"Dear children! I rejoice with you and I invite you to prayer.
Little children, pray for my intention. Your prayers are necessary
to me, through which I desire to bring you closer to God. He is
your salvation. God sends me to help you and to guide you towards
paradise, which is your goal. Therefore, little children, pray,
pray, pray. Thank you for having responded to my call."
October 25, 1994
"Dear children! I am with you and I rejoice today because the
Most High has granted me to be with you and to teach you and to
guide you on the path of perfection. Little children, I wish you
to be a beautiful bouquet of flowers which I wish to present to
God for the day of All Saints. I invite you to open yourselves and
to live, taking the saints as an example. Mother Church has chosen
them, that they may be an impulse for your daily life. Thank you
for having responded to my call!"
November 25, 1994
"Dear children! Today I call you to prayer. I am with you and I
love you all. I am your Mother and I wish that your hearts be
similar to my heart. Little children, without prayer you cannot
live and say that you are mine. Prayer is joy. Prayer is what the
human heart desires. Therefore, get closer, little children, to my
Immaculate Heart and you will discover God. Thank you for having
responded to my call."
December 25, 1994
"Dear children! Today I rejoice with you and I am praying with
you for peace: peace in your hearts, peace in your families, peace

one of your in my heart. Thank you for having responded to my
call."
January 25, 1995
"Dear children! I invite you to open the door of your heart to
Jesus as the flower opens itself to the sun. Jesus desires to fill
your hearts with peace and joy. You cannot, little children,
realize peace if your are not at peace with Jesus. Therefore, I
invite you to confession so Jesus may be your truth and peace. So,
little children, pray to have the strength to realize what I am
telling you. I am with your and I love your. Thank you for having
responded to my call."
February 25, 1995
"Dear children! Today I invite you to become missionaries of my messages, which I am giving here through this place that is dear to me. God has allowed me to stay this long with you and therefore, little children, I invite you to live with love the messages I give and to transmit them to the whole world, so that a river of love flows to people who are full of hatred and without peace. I invite you, little children, to become peace where there is no peace and light where there is darkness, so that each heart accepts the light and the way of salvation. Thank you for having responded to my call."March 25, 1995
"Dear Children! Today I invite you to live the peace in your
hearts and families. There is no peace, little children, where
there is no prayer and there is no love, where there is no faith.
Therefore, little children, I invite you all, to decide again
today for conversion. I am close to you and I invite you all,
little children, into my embrace to help you, but you do not want
and in this way, satan is tempting you, and in the smallest thing,
your faith disappears. This is why little children, pray and
through prayer, you will have blessing and peace. Thank you for
having responded to my call."
April 25, 1995
"Dear children! Today I call you to love. Little children,
without love you can neither live with God nor with brother.
Therefore, I call all of you to open your hearts to the love of
God that is so great and open to each one of you. God, out of love
for man, has sent me among you to show you the path of salvation,
the path of love. If you do not first love God, then you will
neither be able to love neighbor nor the one you hate. Therefore,
little children, pray and through prayer you will discover love.
Thank you for having responded to my call."
May 25, 1995
"Dear Children! I invite you, little children, to help me through
your prayers so that as many hearts as possible come close to my
Immaculate Heart. Satan is strong and with all his forces wants to
bring closer the most people possible to himself and to sin. That
is why he is on the prowl to snatch more every moment. I beg you,
little children, pray and help me to help you. I am your mother
and I love you and that is why I wish to help you. Thank you for
having responded to my call."
June 25, 1995

numbers, that you have responded and have come to live my
messages. I invite you, little children, to be my joyful carriers
of peace in this troubled world. Pray for peace so that as soon as
possible a time of peace, which my heart waits impatiently for,
may reign. I am near to you, little children, and intercede for
every one of you before the Most High. I bless you with my
motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."
July 25, 1995
"Dear children! Today I invite you to prayer because only in
prayer can you understand my coming here. The Holy Spirit will
enlighten you to understand that you must convert. Little
children, I wish to make of you a most beautiful bouquet prepared
for eternity but you do not accept the way of conversion, the way
of salvation that I am offering you through these apparitions.
Little children, pray, convert your hearts and come closer to me.
May good overcome evil. I love you and bless you. Thank you for
having responded to my call."
August 25, 1995
"Dear children! Today I invite you to prayer. Let prayer be life
for you. A family cannot say that it is in peace if it does not
pray. Therefore, let your morning begin with morning prayer, and
the evening end with thanksgiving. Little children, I am with you,
and I love you and I bless you and I wish for everyone of you to
be in my embrace. You cannot be in my embrace if you are not ready
to pray every day.Thank you for having responded to my call."

Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Adore Him, little children, in your

Jesus will become your friend and you will not talk of Him like
someone whom you barely know. Unity with Him will be a joy for you
and you will become witnesses to the love of Jesus that He has for
every creature. Little children, when you adore Jesus you are also
close to me. Thank you for having responded to my call."

is great. Therefore, pray to be able to understand the love and
goodness of God. In the goodness and the love of God the Creator,
I also am with you as a gift. Thank you for having responded to my
call."
November 25, 1995
"Dear Children! Today I invite you that each of you begin again
to love, in the first place, God who saved and redeemed each of
you, and then brothers and sisters in your proximity. Without
love, little children, you cannot grow in holiness and cannot do
good deeds. Therefore, little children, pray without ceasing that
God reveals His love to you. I have invited all of you to unite
yourselves with me and to love. Today I am with you and invite you
to discover love in your hearts and in the families. For God to
live in your hearts, you must love. Thank you for having responded
to my call."
December 25, 1995
"Dear Children! Today I also rejoice with you and I bring you
little Jesus, so that He may bless you. I invite you, dear
children, so that your life may be united with Him. Jesus is the
King of Peace and only He can give you the peace that you seek. I

and I invite all of you, little children, that before all else
forgive in the family and then you will be able to forgive others.
Thank you for having responded to my call."

most important message that I have given you here. Little
children, I wish that each of you become a carrier of my messages.
I invite you, little children, to live the messages that I have
given you over these years. This time is a time of grace.
Especially now, when the Church also is inviting you to prayer and
conversion. I also, little children, invite you to live my
messages that I have given you during the time since I appear
here. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Our Lady's annual apparition to Mirjana - March 18, 1996
This year also the visionary Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo had her
apparition on March 18. After the apparition, Mirjana transmitted
Our Lady's message:
"Dear children! On this message, which I give you today through
my servant, I desire for you to reflect a long time. My
children, great is the love of God. Do not close your eyes, do
not close your ears, while I repeat to you: Great is his love!
Hear my call and my supplication, which I direct to you.
Consecrate your heart and make in it the home of the Lord. May
he dwell in it forever. My eyes and my heart will be here, even
when I will no longer appear. Act in everything as I ask you and
lead you to the Lord. Do not reject from yourself the name of
God, that you may not be rejected. Accept my messages that you
may be accepted. Decide, my children, it is the time of
decision. Be of just and innocent heart that I may lead you to
your Father, for this that I am here, is his great love. Thank
you for being here!"
March 25, 1996
"Dear children! I invite you to decide again to love God above
all else. In this time when due to the spirit of consumerism one
forgets what it means to love and to cherish true values, I invite
you again, little children, to put God in the first place in your
life. Do not let Satan attract you through material things but,
little children, decide for God who is freedom and love. Choose
life and not death of the soul, little children, and in this time
when you meditate upon the suffering and death of Jesus I invite
you to decide for life which blossomed through the Resurrection,
and that your life may be renewed today through conversion that
shall lead you to eternal life. Thank you for having responded to
my call."
April 25, 1996
"Dear children! Today I invite you again to put prayer in the
first place in your families. Little children, when God is in the
first place, then you will, in all that you do, seek the will of
God. In this way your daily conversion will become easier. Little
children, seek with humility that which is not in order in your
hearts, and you shall understand what you have to do. Conversion
will become a daily duty that you will do with joy. Little
children, I am with you, I bless you all and I invite you to
become my witnesses by prayer and personal conversion. Thank you
for having responded to my call."
May 25, 1996
"Dear children! Today I wish to thank you for all your prayers
and sacrifices that you, during this month which is consecrated to
me, have offered to me. Little children, I also wish that you all
become active during this time that is through me connected to
heaven in a special way. Pray in order to understand that you all,
through your life and your example, ought to collaborate in the
work of salvation. Little children, I wish that all people convert
and see me and my son, Jesus, in you. I will intercede for you and
help you to become the light. In helping the other, your soul will
also find salvation. Thank you for having responded to my call."
June 25, 1996
"Dear children! Today I thank you for all the sacrifices you have offered me these days. Little children, I invite you to open yourselves to me and to decide for conversion. Your hearts, little children, are still not completely open to me and therefore, I invite you again to open to prayer so that in prayer the Holy Spirit will help you, that your hearts become of flesh and not of stone. Little children, thank you for having responded to my call and for having decided to walk with me toward holiness."July 25, 1996
"Dear children!
Today I invite you to decide every day for God. Little children,
you speak much about God, but you witness little with your life.
Therefore, little children, decide for conversion, that your life
may be true before God, so that in the truth of your life you
witness the beauty God gave you. Little children, I invite you
again to decide for prayer because through prayer, you will be
able to live the conversion. Each one of you shall become in the
simplicity, similar to a child which is open to the love of the
Father. Thank you for having responded to my call."
August 25, 1996
"Dear children!
Listen, because I wish to speak to you and to invite you to have
more faith and trust in God, who loves you immeasurably. Little
children, you do not know how to live in the grace of God, that is
why I call you all anew, to carry the word of God in your heart
and in thoughts. Little children, place the Sacred Scripture in a
visible place in your family, and read and live it. Teach your
children, because if you are not an example to them, children
depart into godlessness. Reflect and pray and then God will be
born in your heart and your heart will be joyous. Thank you for
having for responded to my call."
September 25, 1996
"Dear children!
Today I invite you to offer your crosses and suffering for my
intentions. Little children, I am your mother and I wish to help
you by seeking for you the grace from God. Little children, offer
your sufferings as a gift to God so they become a most beautiful
flower of joy. That is why, little children, pray that you may
understand that suffering can become joy and the cross the way of
joy.
Thank you for having for responded to my call."
October 25, 1996
"Dear children!
Today I invite you to open yourselves to God the Creator, so that
He changes you. Little children, you are dear to me. I love you
all and I call you to be closer to me and that your love towards
my Immaculate Heart be more fervent. I wish to renew you and lead
you with my Heart to the Heart of Jesus, which still today suffers
for you and calls you to conversion and renewal. Through you, I
wish to renew the world. Comprehend, little children, that you are
today the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Little
children, I invite you and I love you and in a special way
implore: Convert!" Thank you for having responded to my call."
November 25, 1996
"Dear children! Today, again, I invite you to pray, so that
through prayer, fasting and small sacrifices you may prepare
yourselves for the coming of Jesus. May this time, little
children, be a time of grace for you. Use every moment and do
good, for only in this way will you feel the birth of Jesus in
your hearts. If with your life you give an example and become a
sign of God's love, joy will prevail in the hearts of men.
Thank you for having responded to my call."
December 25, 1996
"Dear children!
Today I am with you in a special way, holding little Jesus in my
lap and I invite you, little children, to open yourselves to His
call. He calls you to joy. Little children, joyfully live the
messages of the Gospel, which I am repeating in the time since I
am with you. Little children, I am your Mother and I desire to
reveal to you the God of love and the God of peace. I do not
desire for your life to be in sadness but that it be realized in
joy for eternity, according to the Gospel. Only in this way will
your life have meaning.
Thank you for having responded to my call."
