Our Lady Of Medjugorje

Daily Messages From 1981

June 24, 1981

The first apparition takes place in the afternoon. It is a silent and distant silhouette on the summit of Podbrdo which later would be called Hill of Apparition or Apparition Mountain. The second apparition of the day takes place around 6:00pm.

June 25, 1981

This is the first day the six visionaries saw Our Lady or the Gospa on the hill: "Praise be Jesus!"

Ivanka asked about her mother who had died two months earlier."She is happy. She is with me" (other version: "She is your angel in Heaven").

The visionaries asked if Our Lady would return the next day. Our Lady responded with a nod of the head. Mirjana asked if Our Lady would give them a sign so that others would believe them. Mirjana believed she had received a sign when the Gospa smiled. Also, Mirjana noticed that her watch had changed time during the apparition.

"Good-bye my angels. Go in the peace of God."

June 26, 1981

A crowd of nearly three thousand people were drawn to Apparition Mountain by the luminary signs coming from the hill. Holy water is sprinkled on Our Lady by Vicka. She asks Our Lady to stay is She is indeed the Virgin Mary. Our Lady smiles in response. Ivanka then asked why Our Lady is here and what does she want from the people. Our Lady responded: "I have come because there are many true believers here. I wish to be with you to convert and to reconcile the whole world."

Ivanka asked if her mother has any message for her. "Obey your grandmother and help her because she is old."

Mirjana wanted to know about her grandfather who had recently died. "He is well."

The visionaries requested a sign to prove that the apparition was really the Gospa. "Blessed are those who have not seen and who believe."

Mirjana asked: "Who are you?" "I am the Blessed Virgin Mary."

Why are you appearing to us? We are no better than others. "I do not necessarily choose the best."

Will you come back? "Yes, to the same place as yesterday."

While Marija goes down the mountain, she is mysteriously pushed to the side of the trail by an unseen force. She sees the Virgin again. Our Lady is carrying a wooden cross and is crying. "Peace, Peace, Peace! Be reconciled! Only Peace. Make your peace with God among yourselves. For that, it is necessary to believe, to pray, to fast, and to go to confession."

June 27, 1981

"Praise be Jesus"

Jakov wanted to know what the Virgin expected of the Franciscans in Medjugorje. "Have them persevere in the faith and protect the faith of the people."

Mirjana and Jakov were concerned because the people were treating them like liars. They asked Our Lady to leave a sign for the people. "My angels, do not be afraid of injustices. They have always existed."

The visionaries asked: "How must we pray?" "Continue to recite the Lord's Prayer, the Hail Mary, and the Glory Be seven times, but also add the Creed. Good-bye, my angels. Go in the peace of God."

Our Lady said to Ivan: "Be in peace and take courage."

June 28, 1981

The visionaries want to know what the Gospa wishes. "That people believe and persevere in the faith."

Vicka asked: "What do you expect from the priests?" "That they remain strong in the faith and that help you."

They asked Our Lady why She does not appear to everyone in the church. "Blessed are they who believe without having seen."

They wanted to know if She would return. "Yes, to the same place."

The visionaries ask if She prefers prayer or singing. "Both, prayer and singing."

Vicka asked what Our Lady wished from the crowd gathered on the hill. According to the visionaries, Our Lady responded with a smile and a loving glance. At this point, the Gospa disappeared. The visionaries prayed, hoping she would return because She had not said good-bye. It was during the song, "You Are All Beautiful", that She returned.

Three times Vicka asked, "Dear Gospa (Croatian word for Our Lady), what do you expect of these people?" "That those who do not see believe as those who see."

Once again the visionaries asked for a sign so that the people would not think of them as liars. They only received a smile from Our Lady as She told them good-bye and disappeared. "Go in the peace of God."

June 29, 1981

The visionaries wanted to know if the Gospa was happy to see so many people present. "More than happy."

They ask, "How long will You stay?" "As long as you will want me to, my angels."

They questioned Our Lady about Her expectations about those who came despite the heat and the brambles. "There is only one God, one faith. Let the people believe firmly and do not fear anything."

"What do you expect of us?" the visionaries inquired. "That you have a solid faith and you maintain confidence."

The visionaries wanted to know if they would be strong enough to endure persecutions because of their beliefs. "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."

At this point, Doctor Darinka Glamuzina, working for the Government, requests Vicka to ask a question for her: "May I touch Our Lady?" "There have always been Judases who don't believe, but she can approach."

Vicka shows Doctor Glamuzina where to extend her hand and Doctor Glamuzina touches the Gospa.

The parents of a handicapped child ask the visionaries to intercede on behalf of the child. The ask the Virgin to cure the child so that people will believe them. "Have them believe strongly in his cure. Go in the peace of God."

The child was cured later that same evening.

Between June 30, 1981 and December 31, 1981, the visionaries were being tracked down by the police. They had to find a discreet place to wait for the Virgin to appear.

June 30, 1981

Two social workers took the visionaries on a ride so they would miss the apparition on the hill. The apparition took place at Cerno, on the road between Ljbuski and Medjugorje. Mirjana asked Our Lady if She was angry because they were not on the hill. Our Lady responded: "That doesn't matter."

Mirjana then asked if Our Lady would be angry if they did not return to the hill, but waited for apparition at the church. Somehow Our Lady seemed undecided (according to Mirjana), but then She agreed to appear in the church and added: "Always at the same time. Go in the peace of God."

Mirjana, who had been reading an account of the apparitions at Lourdes, thought she understood that the Virgin would return for another three days, until Friday, as She had in Lourdes. However, this was only Mirjana's interpretation.

July 1, 1981

Again the visionaries ask the Gospa for a sign. Our Lady appeared to nod Her head. "Good-bye, my dear angels."

July 21, 1981

Our Lady arrived: "Praise be Jesus."

The visionaries asked again for a sign and the Gospa said yes. They asked how long She would continue to visit them. "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."

The visionaries asked the Virgin about the sick and She said they would find the cure in strong faith. The Gospa then departed: "Go in the peace of God."

July 22, 1981

"Praise be Jesus Christ. 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. Go in the peace of God."

July 23, 1981

"Praised be Jesus Christ"

July 24, 1981

Again the visionaries asked questions concerning the sick. "Without faith, nothing is possible. All those who will believe firmly will be cured."

July 25, 1981

After more questions about the sick, Our Lady answered: "God, help us all!"

July 27, 1981

The visionaries ask the Virgin to bless some objects. "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Once again the visionaries asked about the sign. "Wait, it will be soon. I will appear to you again at 11:15pm. Go in the peace of God."

They see Jesus' head, brown eyes, beard, and long hair to prepare them for the suffering and persecution they were having to endure. "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."

The visionaries are praised for their beautiful singing and praying. "It is beautiful to listen to you. Continue in this manner. Don't be afraid for Jozo." [He was threatened by the police]

July 29, 1981

The Virgin in Vicka's room. They asked about a sick person. "Praise be Jesus! She will be cured. She must believe firmly."

The visionaries asked to embrace Our Lady to leave a sign. "Yes. Go in the peace of God"

July, 1981

"Carry out well your responsibilities and what the Church asks you to do."

Early August, 1981

The visionaries asked what Our Lady wanted of them later on in life. "I would like you to become priests and religious, but only if you, yourselves, would want it. It is up to you to decide."

August 2, 1981

From Marija's room, Our Lady asks her and 40 others: "All of you together go to the meadow at Gumno. A great struggle is about to unfold. A struggle between my Son and Satan. Human souls are at stake."

[At Gumno] "Everyone here may touch me." [When Our Lady's dress became stained, Marinko invited all to go to confession.]

August 6, 1981 The Transfiguration

"I am the Queen of Peace."

August 7, 1981

Our Lady asked the young people to come to Cross Mountain at 2:00am and to pray that many people would do penance for sinners. "That one do penance for sins."

August 8, 1981

"Do penance! Strengthen your faith through prayer and the sacraments."

August 17, 1981

"Do not be afraid. I wish that you would be filled with joy and that the joy could be seen on your face. I will protect Father Jozo." [The pastor was put in jail.]

August 22, 1981

"Father Jozo has nothing to fear. All troubles will pass."

August 23, 1981

"Praise be Jesus! I have been with Ivan until now. Pray, my angels, for these people. My children, I give you strength. I will always give it to you. When you need me, call me."

August 25, 1981

Some of the people present asked to touch the Virgin. "It is not necessary to touch me. Many are those who do not feel anything when they touch me. On the matter of the sign, you do not have to become impatient for the day will come."

Our Lady also said there was a spy among those gathered.

August 26, 1981

Because the visionaries see Our Lady, many have been seeking their advice. Our Lady responds: "Praise be Jesus. Do not give advice to anyone. I know what you feel and that will pass, also."

August 27, 1981

On this day the visionaries again asked something regarding the sign. "Very soon, I promise you. Be strong and courageous."

August 28, 1981

The visionaries have been waiting for the Virgin in Father Jozo's room. She does not come. This is the second time this has happened. The visionaries go to church to pray and Our Lady appears to them there. "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."

This is the day Ivan entered the seminary at Visoko. Our Lady told him: "You are very tired. Rest, so that you can find strength. Go in the peace of God. Good-bye."

August 29, 1981

Jakov asks Our Lady several questions. 'Are you also appearing to Ivan in the seminary?' "Yes, just like for you."

'Is Ivan Ivankovic, who is in prison, well? "He is well. He is enduring everything. All will pass. Father Jozo sends you greetings."

Ivan at the seminary wants to know about the village. "My angels perform their penance well."

Ivan asked Our Lady whether She was going to help him and his friends in school. "God's help manifests itself everywhere. Go in the peace of God with the blessing of Jesus and mine. Good-bye."

Ivanka asks if a sign will be left soon. "Again, a little patience."

August 30, 1981

Our Lady arrived and Vicka asks for confirmation about rumors that Father Jozo's cell doors unlock themselves. "Praise be Jesus! It is true, but no one believes it."

Ivanka asked about Mirjana. "Mirjana is sad because she is all alone. I will show her to you." And the visionaries saw Mirjana crying.

Regarding young people who betray the faith. "Yes, there are many."

Regarding a woman who wants to leave her husband because he is cruel to her: "Let her remain close to him and accept her suffering. Jesus, Himself, also suffered."

Regarding 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."

Jakov asks about the sign. "Again, a little patience."

Ivan wants to know how he will do in seminary. "Be without fear. I am close to you everywhere and at all times."

Ivan asks if the people in his village are pious. "Your village has become the most fervent parish in Hercegovina. A large number of people distinguish themselves through their piety and their faith."

End of August

The visionaries asked which is the best form of fasting. "A fast on bread and water." "I am the Queen of Peace."

September 1, 1981

The visionaries ask if there will be a Mass on Mt. Krizevac. "Yes, my angels."

Jakov asks if a trap is being set around the church. "There's nothing at all. Have the people pray and remain in church as long as possible."

Ivan prayed with Our Lady so that Jesus would help him in his vocation. Our Lady said: "Go in the peace of God. Do not be afraid. I am close to you and I will watch over you."

September 2, 1981

Vicka asked about a young person who hanged himself. "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."

Ivan wants to know how his friends and he will do in seminary. "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."

September 3, 1981

Jakov asked when the sign would be announced. "Again, a little patience."

September 4, 1981

Ivanka and Marija are concerned that they will not have enough time to pray because they are only home on Saturdays and Sundays and far away at school during the week. (Marija stays in Mostar with relatives.) "It is enough for you to pray. Come here on Saturdays and Sundays. I will appear to all of you."

Ivan asks when Our Lady will leave the sign. "The sign will be given at the end of the apparitions."

Ivan inquires when that will be. "You are impatient, my angels. Go in the peace of God."

September 5, 1981

"Praise be Jesus and Mary. Go in the peace of God, my angel. May the blessing of God accompany you. Amen. Good-bye."

September 6, 1981

"Pray especially on Sunday, so that the great sign, the gift of God may come. Pray with fervor and constancy so that God may have mercy on His great children. Go in peace, my angel. May the blessing of God accompany you. Amen. Good-bye."

September 7, 1981

"Be converted all of you who are still there. The sign will come when you will be converted."

September 8, 1981 Feast of the Nativity Of The Virgin

"I ask only to pray with fervor. Prayer must become a part of your daily life to permit the true faith to take root."

Jakov wishes Our lady a happy birthday. "For me it is a beautiful day. With respect to you, persevere in the faith and in prayer. Do not be afraid. Remain in joy. It is my desire. Let joy appear on your faces. I will continue to protect Father Jozo."

September 10, 1981

Ivan reports that after praying beautiful prayers with a feeling from the heart filled with love and joy Our Lady says: "Go in the peace of God, my angel. Amen. Good-bye."

September 13, 1981

The Virgin came near the image of Jesus after some seminary students came from confession. "This is your Father*, my angel. Go in the peace of God, my angels."

* Many known mystics referred, of course, to Jesus as our Brother but in some rare occasions also as our Father. This is theologically right, if unusual..

September 14, 1981

Our Lady told Vicka: "Stay here so that Jakov will not be alone. Persevere, both of you, with patience. You will be rewarded."

September 15, 1981

"If the people are not converted very soon, bad things will happen to them."

September 16, 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."

September 17, 1981

Concerning someone ill. "He will die very soon."

To the visionaries: "Persevere and you will be rewarded."

September 20, 1981

To Vicka and Jakov: "Do not be lax in your prayers. I ask both of you to fast for a week on bread and water."

September 30, 1981

To Vicka and Jakov: "Don't ask useless questions dictated by curiosity. The most important thing is to pray, my angels."

October 1, 1981

Are all religions the same? "Members of all faiths are equal before God. God rules over each faith just like a sovereign over his kingdom. In the world, all religions are not the same because all people have not complied with the commandments of God. They reject and disparage them."

Are all churches the same? "In some, the strength of prayer to God is greater, in others, smaller. That depends on the priests who motivate others to pray. It depends also on the power which they have."

Why do You appear to us so often and to others who do not follow God's path?* "I appear to you often and in every place. To others, I appear from time to time briefly. They do not yet follow the way of God completely. 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."

* This must be about other apparitions in Hercegovina.

October 6, 1981

"The evening Mass must be kept permanently. 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."

October 7, 1981

In answer to the question whether there are other intermediaries, besides Jesus, between God and Man? "There is only one mediator between God and man, and it is Jesus Christ."

In answer to Father Tomislav regarding founding a community 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."

October 8, 1981

Our Lady has scolded Marija about missing Mass and staying with her friends. "You would have done better to attend Mass rather than to satisfy human curiosity."

October 10, 1981

"It is up to you to pray and to persevere. I have made promises to you; also be without anxiety. Faith will not know how to be alive without prayer. Pray more."

October 11, 1981

The visionaries ask about an old man who disappeared. "Tomo Lovic is dead."

October 12, 1981

Where is Paradise and the Kingdom of God? "In Heaven."

Our Lady is asked if she is the Mother of God and if She went to heaven before or after Her death. "I am the Mother of God and the Queen of Peace. I went to Heaven before death."

When will the sign be left? "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."

October 17, 1981

On the sign: "It is mine to realize the promise. With respect to the faithful, have them pray and believe firmly."

October 19, 1981

"Pray for Father Jozo and fast tomorrow on bread and water. The you will fast for a whole week on bread and water. Pray, my angels. Now I will show you Father Jozo.

She shows them a vision of Father Jozo in prison and tells them not to fear for him because everything will work out fine.

On Marinko, the man who protected the visionaries: "There are a few similar faithful. He's made a sufficient number of sacrifices for Jozo. He underwent many torments and sufferings."

To Marinko personally: "Continue, and do not let anyone take the faith away from you."

October 20, 1981

Vicka asked Our Lady to intercede for Father Jozo during his trial and even to strike someone to stop the trial. Our Lady sings with the visionaries: "Jesus Christ in Your Name."

After the song was completed, Our Lady said: "Go in the peace of God."

October 21, 1981

Because Vicka is concerned about Fr. Jozo's sentencing and knows that Our Lady is not motivated by vengeance, she begs Her to intercede that the people involved be reasonable and impartial. "Jozo looks well and he greets you warmly. Do not fear for Jozo. He is a saint. I have already told you. 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."

October 22, 1981

"Jozo has been sentenced. Let us go to church to pray."

The visionaries tell Our Lady they are saddened because of Father Jozo. "You should rejoice!"

The visionaries ask if the whiteness of the cross is a supernatural phenomenon. "Yes, I confirm it."

Many saw the cross transform itself into a light and then into a silhouette of Our Lady. "All of these signs are designed to strengthen your faith until I leave you the visible and permanent sign."

October 25, 1981

The visionaries asked Our Lady about the great light three girls saw on their way home from Mass. Within the light, they saw fifteen figures. "It was a supernatural phenomenon. I was among the saints."

October 26, 1981

"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."

October 28, 1981

The visionaries ask if the Gospa appeared at Krizevac the day before for thirty minutes. "Yes, didn't you see me?"

Regarding the fire that hundreds of people saw that burned but did not consume anything. "The fire, seen by the faithful, was of a supernatural character. It is one of the signs, a forerunner of the great sign."

October 29, 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!"

October 30, 1981

Jakov and Vicka questioned Our Lady about a sealed envelope which an official showed them wishing to trick them. "Do not respond to 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."

The visionaries asked Our Lady when should Christmas Mass be celebrated. "Have them celebrate it at midnight. Pray! Go in the peace of God."

To Ivanka: "Pray more. The others are praying and suffering more than you."

To the visionaries: "Tell the young people not to allow themselves to be distracted from the true way. Let them remain faithful to their religion."

October 31, 1981

From Vicka's diary we learn that Mirjana has had daily apparitions in Sarajevo where she is a student at a professional school. Our Lady counsels Mirjana as a wise mother would, telling her two times who to trust, who to distrust, and how to respond to those who rebuke her and attack God.

Our Lady knows and advised Mirjana to avoid a friend who wants her to get involved with drugs. Our lady suggested that she answer questions when that would be helpful and to remain quiet when that would be more beneficial. Our Lady shared Her joy over the five visionaries being together and tells them that Father Jozo would not be in prison more than four years.

Regarding Danny Ljolje, Our Lady said: "There is a lot of deception and erroneous information."

After showing the visionaries a part of paradise and telling them not to be afraid, Our lady said: "All those who are faithful to God will have that."

October, 1981

Concerning the conflict between the Franciscans and the Bishop of Mostar: "It is going to find a solution. We must have patience and pray."

Regarding Poland: "There will be great conflicts, but in the end, the just will take over."

Regarding Russia: "The Russian people will be the people who will glorify God the most. The West has made civilization progress, but without God, as if they were their own creators."

November 1, 1981

"Be persevering! Pray! Many people are beginning to convert."

November 2, 1981

The visionaries questioned the Gospa about Her reasons for showing them paradise some days earlier. "I did that so you could see the happiness which awaits those who love God."

Jesus then appears to them with injuries covering His body and wearing a crown of thorns. "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."

Then Jesus says: "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."

November 3, 1981

The song, 'Come, Come to us Lord', was begun by Our Lady and the visionaries joined in 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."

November 6, 1981

During this apparition, Our Lady disappears and the visionaries see a terrifying vision of Hell. Then Our Lady reappears and says: "Do not be afraid! I have shown you Hell so that you may know the state of those who are there."

November 8, 1981

Our Lady appears kissing and lovingly embracing a picture of John Paul II. "He is your father, the spiritual father of all. It is necessary to pray for him." One account tells of Our Lady picking up the picture in the room.

The visionaries have a vision of Father Jozo in prison. "Have you seen how Father Jozo struggles for God?"

November 9, 1981

The militia passes by the room where Our Lady was about to appear. "Do not be afraid of the militia. Do not provoke anybody. Be polite with everybody."

November 10, 1981

"Do not give in. Keep your faith. I will accompany you at every step."

November 13, 1981

"Praise be Jesus!"

Our Lady showed the visionaries a beautiful landscape with the Baby Jesus walking there. The visionaries were not able to recognize Him.

"It is Jesus. On my arrival and when I depart, always sing the song, 'Come, Come to us O Lord'."

November 15, 1981

This apparition was to take place in Fr. Jozo's room but Our Lady appeared later in the Church and said someone had placed (hidden) listening devices in the room. She relates: "The world is on the point of receiving great favors from me and my Son. May the world keep a strong confidence."

November 16, 1981

"The devil is trying to conquer us. Do not permit him. Keep the faith, fast, and pray. I will be with you at every step."

Her words to Vicka and Jakov: "Persevere with confidence in prayer and in faith."

November 22, 1981

The Gospa explains the cross, the heart, and the sun to the visionaries. "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."

Again a shining silhouette takes the place of the cross on Krizevac. The visionaries asked the Blessed Virgin if it was She. "Why do you ask me, my angels? Have you not seen me? The world must find salvation while there is time. Let it pray with fervor. May it have the spirit of faith."

November 23, 1981

Our Lady was indescribable and beautiful light radiated, flowed, shined, and sparkled around Her. "The people have begun to convert. Keep a solid faith. I need your prayers."

November 26, 1981

The visionaries asked the Gospa questions about the sick: "Have 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. Good-bye, my dear angels."

November 28, 1981

All but Ivan were present. Vicka relates, "We all felt a profound peace about and within us. Our Lady looked at us with a beautiful sweetness."

"Ah, it is so beautiful to see you all together! Go in the peace of God, my angels. Good-bye."

November 29, 1981

"It is necessary for the world to be saved while there is still time, for it to pray strongly, and for it to have the spirit of faith."

November 1981

Vicka warns that this message is not just for the visionaries but for all. "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 always be close to you."

December 2, 1981

The visionaries asked about a young man who suddenly had a memory loss and could no longer learn anything: "It is necessary to hospitalize him."

The visionaries asked more questions. "It is not necessary to ask questions on every subject."

December 3, 1981

"Pray and persevere through prayer."

December 6, 1981

"Be strong and persevering. My dear angels, go in the peace of God."

December 7, 1981

Our Lady looked at the crowds of people. "The people are converting. It is true, but not yet all. Pray and persist in prayers."

After an apparition at Jakov's home, the letters "MIR LJUDIMA" (Peace to the people) were on the wall in gold.

December 8, 1981 Feast of the Immaculate Conception

Our Lady answers questions the visionaries have about their futures. "I would like all of you to become priests and religious, but only if you desire it. You are free. It is up to you to choose. If you are experiencing difficulties or if you need something, come to me. 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."

Our Lady then profoundly kneels down, serious with Her hands extended. She prays to Jesus: "My beloved Son, I beseech you to be willing to forgive the world its great sin through which it offends you."

December 9, 1981

December 31, 1981

Ivan asked the Gospa how to help doubting priests understand the apparitions. "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 t believe. Faith is the foundation from which everything flows."

Ivan asks Our Lady if it is really She appearing at the foot of the cross. "Yes, it is true. Almost everyday 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. Everyday I pray to my Son to forgive the sins of the world."

1981

Vicka says that at the very beginning Our Lady told us: "You may leave, but let little Jakov stay with me." Vicka then adds that Our Lady realizes that Jakov is an extraordinary boy.

THE APPARITION CHAPEL

In January, the visionaries were moved to a side room to the right of the Alter of St. James Church. This room was to become famous and considered by many as sacred ground.

Today, toward the end of the apparition, two of the visionaries were reprimanded by Our Lady.

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. If it is necessary, I will appear in each home."

To Jakov, crying because he saw Vicka ill: "The cross is necessary because of the sins of the world."

June 23, 1982

Responses from Our Lady regarding questions asked by Father Tomislav Vlasic. Vicka asked the Gospa the questions for Father Tomislav. He reported the answers in the parish chronicle.

1. The most important thing is that you, the visionaries, remain united. Let peace be among you. Pay very close attention to that. Obey and do what the priests and your parents tell you. Go often to Holy Mass and receive Communion. Be very attentive these days. Some dishonest people will come to you, in numbers, in order to tempt you. Be careful of your statements. These days I am expecting of you a very special discipline. Do not move around anywhere, or often, and do not separate from one another.

2. A number of those who have been very enthusiastic will cool off. But you, persist and be proud of each of my words. Have the people pray very much. Have them pray more for salvation and only for salvation, because it is in prayer. And let the people be converted so long as it is possible. There are many sins, vexations, curse words, lies, and other bad things. Let them be converted, go to confession, and receive Holy Communion.

3. Let them not print books on the apparitions before the anniversary has passed, because that could have some undesirable consequences.

4. You have asked me to keep good and faithful priests in this parish who will continue the work. Do not be afraid of anything. This grace will be given to you. From priests, I do not demand anything other than prayer with perseverance and preaching. May they be patient and wait for the promise of God.

Concerning the number of natures of the Holy Spirit:

5. He only has one nature, the Divine nature.

Concerning these apparitions being the last ones on earth:

6. These apparitions are the last in the world.

June 24, 1982

"Thank the people in my name for the prayers, the sacrifices, and the (acts of) penance. Have them persevere in prayer, fasting, and conversion and have them wait with patience for the realization of my promise. Everything is unfolding according to God's plan."

July 12, 1982

Concerning a third world war: "The third world war will not take place."

July 21, 1982

Concerning 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 the Lord's Prayer, the Hail Mary, and the Glory Be seven times each, 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."

Concerning 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."

July 24, 1982

"You go to Heaven in full conscience: that which you have now. At the moment of death, you are conscious of the separation of the body and soul. It is false to teach people that you are reborn many times and that you 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."

Regarding a question asked about being bad all ones life and asking forgiveness: "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 receives Communion at the end of his life."

July 25, 1982

Concerning Hell: "Today many persons go to Hell. God allows 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 lot better." Other answers from Our Lady state that people who commit grave sins live in Hell while here on earth and continue this Hell in eternity. They actually go to Hell because they chose it in life and at the moment of death."

Concerning cures: "For the cure of the sick, it is important to say the following prayers: the Creed, and seven times each, The Lord's Prayer, the Hail Mary, and the Glory Be, 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 receive this gift, the priest must pray with perseverance and believe firmly."

August 6, 1982

The Transfiguration

Concerning Confession: "One must invite people to go to Confession each month, especially the first Saturday. Here, I have not spoken of 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."

That night, after the apparition, two luminary signs in the form of rays of light were displayed on the Cross at Krizevac and on the Church. Ivan and the group of young people had been praying on the hill of Bijakovici. Before the sign appeared, Our Lady said: "Now I am going to give you a sign in order to strengthen your faith."

Many members of the prayer group saw this sign.

August 10, 1982

Our Lady told the visionaries that they could give out written information about certain things.

August 11, 1982

The visionaries were scolded by Our Lady for their conduct during the evening Mass. No special message was given.

August 15, 1982

Vicka and Ivanka were given a new secret during the seven-minute apparition. The others could not understand - only that a secret had been given.

August 16, 1982

Our Lady corrected the speed and quality of the prayers of those in Church as well as the visionaries.

During the apparition, Mirjana reports that she sees heavenly persons, such as Jesus, Mary, and the angels, in three dimensions (as another human person would have seen), and earthly people in two dimensions (as in a picture or photograph). She saw father Jozo or Ivan, who have been imprisoned because of their faith, as if in a motion picture and two dimensional.

August 18, 1982

Concerning the sick, Mirjana reports: "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."

Concerning a planned 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."

August 29, 1982

Concerning reports that 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 practical advice: 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."

August 31, 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 particularly protect those who have been consecrated to me. The great sign has been granted. It will appear independently of the conversion of the people."

September 4, 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."

September 26, 1982

Concerning a religious from Rome: "Have her strengthen the faith of those who have been entrusted to her."

Concerning Father Robert Faricy and Fr. Forrest: "They are on the good path. Have them persist."

Concerning 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."

October 1, 1982

"I am happy because you have begun to prepare the monthly observance 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."

November 4, 1982

Concerning the vision of Andja, from Mostar, of 13 people coming from the East and on another occasion, six persons: "It is a true vision. They were some souls of her close family of Purgatory. It is necessary to pray for them."

November 6, 1982

Concerning the eighth secret, Mirjana is frightened and prays to Our Lady for mercy on mankind: "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."

November 8, 1982

Concerning the necessity of wring to the Bishop and priests about asking the faithful to intensify their prayers or waiting for other events: "It is better to wait than to precipitate that."

November 15, 1982

Jakov asked Our Lady concerning Vicka's illness and the advisability of her being admitted to a hospital in Zagreb. He asked because Vicka would not ask, desiring it to be left to the will of God. "It is necessary to send Vicka to Zagreb."

December 18, 1982

Concerning responding to the Bishop of Mostar about his article concerning events in Medjugorje: "Yes, respond!"

December 20, 1982

Concerning the same article, the visionaries wanted to know the necessity of giving objective information to the faithful in Hercegovina. "No!"

Should the visionaries only pray with our Lady and the pilgrims ask their questions only to the priests? "Yes, it is better that the children pray with me and that the pilgrims ask the priests and look for solutions with them. Meanwhile, I will continue to answer the questions which they ask me."

December 25, 1982

This is the information which Mirjana gave to Father Tomislav on November 5, 1983. He conveyed this information to the Pope on December 16, 1983. Father Vlasic's letter was published in "Is the Virgin Mary appearing at Medjugorje?" (Paris, 1984), with this 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 November 5, 1983. I summarized the essentials of her account, without literal quotation. Mirjana told me:

Before the visible sign is given to mankind, 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 has in 1982 which we believe sheds some light on 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 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."

December 24, 1982

For Mirjana: "On Christmas I will appear to you for the last time."

After this apparition, it was apparent that Mirjana was very sad. Mirjana stated that on Christmas day Our Lady would come to her again as a gift but would not be giving her daily apparitions. Mirjana was given the tenth secret, a particularly grave one. Our Lady promised to appear to Mirjana on her birthday, March 18, for the rest of her life.

December 25, 1982

Our Lady's apparition to Mirjana lasted 45 minutes. Mirjana states that she will always remember these words of Our Lady. "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. Mirjana, I have chosen you; I have confided in you everything that is essential. I have 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."

Mirjana has said that Our Lady prepared her for this meeting for a month. In a motherly manner, Our Lady had explained that her task was accomplished and Mirjana had received sufficient information. While Mirjana felt that her conversations with Our Lady were so necessary for her soul, Our Lady promised that as long as she remained close to God, She would help her and be beside her always, assisting her in her most difficult times. But now she must return to the normal everyday life of young girls her age.

This was Mirjana's saddest Christmas ever. This last meeting left her feeling as if she had lost the most beautiful thing in her life. Our Lady knew her pain and was there to cheer her up and to pray with her. Mirjana was asked to sing and praise God. Mirjana prayed the Hail Holy Queen, the prayer she always said when she was alone with Our Lady.

As Our Lady has warned, the first month after this last apparition was most difficult. Mirjana experienced depression, avoided people, and shut herself in her room where she had waited for Our Lady.

She cried and called out to Our Lady and did feel her presence. She waited for her birthday.

Many who know Mirjana claim that since the apparitions stopped, she has become much more mature in her inner life as well as in her character. Our Lady has been the best of educators.

December 27, 1982

Concerning placing the new statue of Our Lady, Queen of Peace, in the church: "Yes, you may!"

This statue was sculpted by Vipotnik and painted by Luka Stojaknac and Florijan Mickovic. Luka is Orthodox and working on this statue has been a blessing for him.

December 31, 1982

Concerning the new year: "Pray as much as possible and fast! You must persevere in prayer and fasting. 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."


Our Lady Of Medjugorje

Messages From 1983

January 1, 1983 (Holy Mary, Mother of God)

Concerning Our Lady's appearances to Mirjana: "After Christmas, I am no longer appearing to her for the present."

January 5, 1983

Ivan, Jakov, Marija, and Vicka relate the following information to Father Tomislav: Marija has received seven secrets; Vicka has received eight; Jakov, Ivanka, and Ivan have received nine; and Mirjana has received all ten. As to how long the apparitions will last or why Our Lady no longer appears to Mirjana after Christmas, we do not know. Our Lady constantly invites us to prayer, fasting, and conversion and she confirms her promises.

Regarding the time of the sign, it's month and year, Ivan says: "It is forecasted."

January 7, 1983

The visionaries are invited to record Our Lady's testimony as She begins to tell them her life; but, until they receive Her authorization, they will not be able to make this information public. Jakov will receive information until April; Ivanka until May 22; Marija until July 17; and for Vicka, this transmission lasted until April 10, 1985 and filled three notebooks.

January 10, 1983

Mirjana shared with Father Tomislav Vlasic that during the year and a half that she had been receiving apparitions, she had experienced the maternal love and intimacy of Our Lady and questioned Her why God could so "Mercilessly" send sinners to Hell forever. "Men who go to Hell no longer want to receive any benefit from God. They do not repent nor do they cease to revolt and to blaspheme. they make up their mind to live in Hell and do not contemplate leaving it."

Regarding Purgatory: "In Purgatory there are different levels; the lowest is close to Hell and the highest gradually draws 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 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 to come close to God who is just, but good. The majority of people go to Purgatory. Many go to Hell. A small number go directly to Heaven."

January 12, 1983

There were present a U.S. television crew that was filming the events in MedJugorje. Fr. John Bertolucci was the narrator. The name of the television program was "The Glory of God". Concerned about the police and the oppression still going on at that time, they were worried about getting the film out of the country. They were delighted and at the same time assured because Our Lady cleverly used their title in Her answer. "There will be some difficulties, but it will be for the glory of God."

April 21, 1983

To the visionaries especially Jakov concerning behavior during Mass and around others: "You must behave well; be pious and set a good example for the faithful."

Message for an Italian doctor: "I bless him just as [I bless] 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 as the sick for whom you have prayed this evening, and those for whom you will pray."

To the visionaries: "When you suffer difficulties, and need something, come to me."

Regarding cures: "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."

Regarding faith: "Faith cannot be alive without prayer."

Regarding the Mass: "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."

To a priest who asks if it is preferable to pray to Our Lady or 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.

January, 1984

"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."

To the priests of Medjugorje: "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."

Father Vlasic questions Our Lady concerning telling people to pray four hours a day and having them turn away. Our Lady then said: "Even you do not understand. It is hardly a sixth of your day."

June 13, 1984

"Dear children, I invite you to pray more, you and the entire parish, until the day o 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."

July 16, 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.

July 20, 1984

"Open your hearts to me, come close. Say in a loud voice your intentions and your prayers."

She then blessed the visionaries and the people with a crucifix and ascended back to Heaven crying.

August 5, 1984 2000th Birthday of Our Lady

For three days before the celebration of the second millennium of Mary's birthday, there was fasting and continuous prayer. Confessions were heard by seventy priests without respite; great numbers of people were converted.

"Never in my life have I cried with sorrow, as I have cried this evening with joy. Thank you!"

In anticipation of this day, Our Lady said: "The priests who will hear confessions will have great joy on that day."

The visionaries say Our Lady was "very joyful" during these three days of fasting and continuous prayer and Our Lady repeated: "I am very happy! Continue, continue. Continue t o pray and to fast. Continue and make me happy each day."

Later, the priests involved related that never in their lives had they felt such joy in their hearts.

August 6, 1984

"Continue and make me happy each day."

August 11, 1984

October 8, 1984

"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."

October 13, 1984

Concerning 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. Live according to your convictions and respect others."

October 20, 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 you how to blossom. Prayer is not a joke. Prayer is a dialogue with God!"

October 24, 1984

"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."

October 1984

"I would like to guide you spiritually, but I 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, with purity of heart, and with openness. Do not leave the church without an appropriate act of thanksgiving. I can only help you if you are accessible to my suggestions; I can not help you if you are not open. The most important thing in the 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."

December 17, 1984

Concerning Monsignor Franic, Archbishop of Split: "You will have to suffer more."

December 21, 1984

"Dear children! I would like each one 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."

December 25, 1984

Although Our Lady did not give a message, She appeared carrying the Christ Child in Her arms.

1984

In response to a question about Oriental meditations such as Zen and Transcendental: "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."

Regarding prayer: "Your days will not be the same according to whether you pray, or you do not pray."

Mirjana reports: "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."

Jakov received a reproach from Our Lady because of his behavior towards his friends at school. "You must love them all."

He responded that he did but that they are so annoying to him. Our Lady said: "Then accept it as a sacrifice, and offer it."

Marija shares Our Lady's message with a group of seminarians from Zagreb and Djakovo who attended an apparition: "Tell them, that with prayer, one obtains everything."

Mirjana asks Our Lady why She received a young nun with open arms but kept Her hands joined before the others. "I will take with me very soon, all those to whom I extended my arms."

To a nun regarding her brother who had died in an accident: "I understand the question. He died in a state of grace. He needs Masses and prayers."

Mirjana reported this message to a close friend, a religious: "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."

"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."

"I am anxious for people to know what is happening in Medjugorje. Speak about it, so that all will be converted."

Our Lady is questioned regarding Her insistence in saying, "It presses me to..." by Mirjana: "When you will be in Heaven, you will understand why I am so pressed."

To the visionaries 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."

Responding to the confusion of a Catholic Priest over the cure of an Orthodox child: "Tell this priest, tell everyone, that it is you who are 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 very 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."


1985


January 2, 1985

This apparition of Our Lady, surrounded by angels, took place at 11:30pm on Cross Mountain: "I am very happy to have been able to come here for three years, thanks to the prayers of believers.

Offer your prayers of thanksgiving for next week."

January 9, 1985

"I thank the faithful for having come to church in very bad and cold weather."

January 14, 1985

"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."

February 3, 1985

"I wish for Father Slavko to stay here, to guide the life, and to assemble the good 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."

February 17, 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."

February 25, 1985

To Marija: "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 all the parishes to surrender to Him, and I too, in Him, 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."

February-March 1985

Our Lady was asked what should be done about all the discussions and publications regarding Medjugorje and She responded: "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 singing a song three times, Our Lady said: "Excuse me for making you repeat, but I wish you to sing with the heart. You must really do everything with the heart."

Regarding 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."

"You must not preoccupy yourselves during prayer. During prayer, you must not be preoccupied with your sins. Sins must remain behind."

"Dear children! You have always prayed that I not abandon you. Now I ask of you, in turn, not to abandon me. Especially during these days, Satan wants 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."

March 9, 1985

"You can receive a grace immediately, or in a month, or in ten years. I do not need The Lord's Prayer said a hundred or two hundred times. 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. Dedicate yourselves to love."

March 13, 1985

This message was given to Vicka as a warning that she not make the same mistake as Ivan. Ivan had been persuaded to write down information concerning the sign and seal it in an envelope which was not to have been opened; however, it was and caused a stir. "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, he had to clearly acknowledge it so as not to plant any doubts."

March 18, 1985

To Marija: "The Rosary is not an ornament for the home, as one often times limits himself to using it. Tell everyone to pray it."

"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."

"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."

March 24, 1985

"Today I wish to call you all to confession, even if you confessed a few days ago. I wish that you all experience my feast day within yourselves. But you cannot experience it unless you abandon yourselves completely to God. Therefore, I am inviting you all to reconciliation with God!"

March 25, 1985 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."

May 7, 1985

For at least an hour, Our Lady and two angels appeared to Ivanka at her home. More beautiful than ever, She asked Ivanka what she wished and approved of her request to see her mother. The mother of Ivanka soon appeared. Smiling, she embraced Ivanka, told her how proud she was of her, and embraced her again before she disappeared. During this apparition Our Lady said:

"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 anything bad, and 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. Go in the peace of God."

June 25, 1985 Fourth Anniversary

Marija asks what Our Lady wants from the priests: "I urge you to ask everyone to pray the Rosary. With the Rosary you will overcome all your troubles which Satan is trying to inflict on the Catholic Church. Let all priests pray the Rosary. Give time to the Rosary."

July 1, 1985

"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."

August 5, 1985

Our Lady appeared dressed in golden splendor and was indescribable. She said to Ivan: "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. 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. Go in the peace of God, my children, my little children."

August 14, 1985

To Ivan: "Observe the complete fasts, Wednesdays and Fridays. Pray at least an entire Rosary: Joyous, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries."

August 15, 1985

To Mirjana: "My angel, pray for unbelievers. People will tear their hair, brothers will plead with brothers, they will curse their past lives 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. Invite everyone to pray the Rosary."

September 10, 1985

Regarding 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."

September 1985

To Marija: "I have given you my love, so that you may give it to others."

October 8, 1985

October 25, 1985

To Mirjana concerning unbelievers: "They are my children. I suffer because of them. They do not know what awaits them. You must pray more for them."

Our Lady showed Mirjana the first secret - the earth was desolate: "It is the upheaval of a region of the world. In the world there are so many sins. What can I do, if you do not help me. Remember that I love you. 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 God? Very few! Here you have a time of grace and conversion. It is necessary to use it well."

Three days before the event takes place, Mirjana chose Father Pero Ljubicic to reveal the first three warnings to the world. Mirjana received a parchment from Our Lady which contains the ten secrets. Father Pero will be asked to read it from it at the proper time. However, he will only see the first secret. Then, at the proper time he will see and be able to read the second, then the third, etc., according to the schedule of Heaven.

"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 here."

1985

"Let the faithful meditate each day on the life of Jesus, while praying the rosary."

"Every prayer, which comes from the heart, is agreeable to God."

"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."

In Medjugorje, the following has been established: an hour of adoration before the Most Blessed Sacrament on each Thursday; an hour of devotion before the crucifix with prayers for sinners on each Friday; and two late evening (10:30pm) Adoration Services on Wednesday and Saturday nights.

A sculptor was asked to do a statue of the Blessed Mother and he said, 'Only if Our Lady wants it'. When the visionaries asked Our Lady about this, She said: "Do one of Jesus instead, but be inspired by the words, 'COME TO ME ALL WHO ARE WEARY'."

To the prayer group which questioned Our Lady's advice regarding watching television programs and reading newspapers as too difficult: "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."

April 28, 1986 (approximate)

To the prayer group: "I give you the best that I can give anyone. I give myself and my Son."

May 3, 1986

For Maria's prayer group: "Dear children, seek to make your hearts happy through 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!"

May 12, 1986

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."

June 6, 1986

"Love. If you do not love, you are not ale to transmit the testimony. You are not able to witness, either to me, or for Jesus."

June 7, 1986

Through Marija concerning Father Pere Gianni Sgreva, who wanted to organize a new community based on the messages of Medjugorje: "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."

June 20, 1986

"Pray before the Cross. Special graces come from the Cross. Consecrate yourselves to the Cross. Do not blaspheme either Jesus or the Cross."

June 24, 1986 Special Blessing

There were 30,000 to 50,000 people present. This is the first time Our Lady gives the SPECIAL BLESSING in which those receiving it may bless others in Our Lady's name. Our Lady starts giving this blessing for the first time now, and again, several times later, generally on Feast Days. However, this blessing was not completely understood until August 15, 1988 when Marija spoke of it to a Caritas group in Medjugorje. (For an explanation of "The Special Blessing", see November 29, 1988 a few pages ahead)

To Marija and Ivan: "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."

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."

June 26, 1986

"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."

July 10, 1986

To the Prayer Group after an evaluation: "I thank you for that. You have done well, but do not forget...; basically, God's will is decisive."

August 4, 1986

"I wish only that the Rosary become your life."

August 5, 1986

"Read each Thursday the Gospel of Matthew, where it is said: 'No one can serve two masters.... You cannot serve God and money."

September 12, 1986

"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."

October 6, 1986

Permission was given by Father Pervan for an individual from Birmingham, Alabama, to ask Marija to present a question to Our Lady. He explained why he would like this asked of Our Lady as well as other information concerning the Birmingham area so that Marija would have a clear understanding of why this was desired. After discussing several things about the region, Marija requested to keep the question and stated that if Our Lady gave an answer, (many times She gives no answer), she would write it down and return it following the apparition that night.

The question: "Dear Blessed Mother, if it is God's will, we humbly ask that the conversion taking place in Medjugorje be allowed to take place in the Parish of Blessed Sacrament in Alabama and that it 'divinely' be spread throughout the whole region. We surrender this Parish to you and ask if there is anything you request." Marija and Jakov went to the kitchen and Marija wrote down Our Lady's answer which starts off with, "Gospa says:" (Gospa means Blessed Mother)

"Pray and by your life witness. Not with words but rather through prayer will you attain what your desire is. Therefore, pray more and live in humility."

Our Lady's answer was prophetic and not completely understood until November 18, 1988 when Marija came to Birmingham, Alabama, and Our Lady prayed, blessed, and converted tens of thousands of people who traveled there from as far away as South America, the Caribbean, and even Russia.

December 29, 1986

An answer for Father Tomislav Vlasic about his writing to address lies and injustices: "Do not waste your time. Pray and love. You cannot even imagine how powerful God is."

Undated

To Vicka: "Do you want to offer yourself, also, for the salvation of the world? I need your sacrifices."


1987


January 28, 1987

To Mirjana, at Sarajevo: "My dear children! I come to you in order to lead you to purity of soul and then to God. How have you listened to me? At the beginning without believing and with fear and defiance toward these young people whom I have chosen, then afterwards, most of you listened to me in your heart and began to carry out my maternal requests. But that did not last for long. Whenever I come to you my Son comes with me, but so does Satan. You permitted, without noticing, his influences on you and he drives you on. Sometimes you understand that something you have done is not agreeable to God, but quickly you no longer pay attention to it.

Do not let this happen, my children. Wipe from my face the tears that I cry in seeing what you do. Wake up to yourselves. Take time to meet with God in the church. Come to visit in your Father's house. Take the time to meet among yourselves for family prayer and implore the grace of God. Remember your deceased. Give them joy with the celebration of the Holy Mass. Do not look with scorn on those who beg you for a piece of bread. Do not turn them away from your full tables. Help them and God will also help you. Perhaps it is in this way that God will hear you, and the blessing that He wants to give you in thanks will be realized.

You have forgotten all this my children. Satan has influenced you also in this. Do not let that happen! Pray with me! Do not deceive yourselves into thinking, "I am good, but my brother next door is no good". You would be wrong. I, your Mother, love you and it is for that reason that I am warning you about this. Concerning the secrets, my children, these are not known by the people. But when they will learn of them, it will be too late. Return to prayer! There is nothing more important! I would dearly wish that the Lord would permit me to enlighten you a little more on these secrets, but the grace which is offered to you is already great enough.

Think how much you have offended Him. What are you offering to Him of yourself? When was the last time you renounced something for the Lord? I no longer wish to reprimand you in this way, but I want to invite you once more to prayer, fasting, and penance. If you wish to obtain a grace from God by fasting, then let no one know that you are fasting. If you wish to receive a grace from God by a gift to the poor, let no one know except you and the Lord that you have given this gift. Listen to me, my children! Meditate on my message in prayer."

March 21, 1987

To Vicka in Zagreb: "I bless you with the benediction of a Mother. Pray every day and confide yourselves to my son, Jesus. In this way you will understand what God asks of each of you."

March 22, 1987

Vicka related the apparition of March 22: 'Right away She held Her hands over us and said an interior prayer that I did not understand. She came surrounded by five little angels. Then She confided a few things to me and left.'

June 24, 1987 Special Blessing

On June 24, 1987, at 11:30pm, Our Lady asked everyone to come to the mountain (of the Cross) for a special apparition. Close to 50,000 people where there while a military helicopter hovered overhead. It flew away three or four minutes prior to the apparition at 11:25pm. It came back, presumably to refuel near Mostar, five to ten minutes after the apparition ended. Several times the lights from the helicopter flooded the crowd. The apparition lasted about ten minutes. A recount from Marija of the apparition follows....

Anniversary Apparition: Tonight when Our Lady came She was happy and She immediately prayed over all of us for a certain amount of time. We asked Her for a blessing. Then She spoke to us and gave a message which sounded like this:

"Dear children, I want to lead you to the path of conversion and I wish that you convert the world, that your life be conversion for others."

Then Our Lady said She does not want us to be unfaithful and She desires each of us to surrender ourselves fully to Her will and the will of God. Our Lady said from today She is granting us special graces, and She's giving us, especially, a gift of conversion so that all of us can take the blessing with us to our homes and truly encourage others to conversion. God gave us the gift tonight through Our Lady. Then Our Lady prayed over us for some time. We prayed with her for the needs of each one of us who were here tonight. Our Lady said, "Go in God's Peace", and then She left.

1987

In response to being questioned whether She wanted to create a new order or a new structure or a particular "Medjugorje Community", Our Lady said: "Children of mine, you don't know what you ask. You don't know what is waiting for you. You cannot comprehend the plans of God! I ask of you that you accomplish what I show you."

"Love your Serbian, Orthodox and Muslim brothers, and the atheists who persecute you."

"All your prayers touch me very much, especially your daily rosary."


1988


March 18, 1988

Mirjana's birthday apparition: "Pray for unbelievers."

June 25, 1988

During Ivanka's anniversary apparition, she said to the crowd who had gathered at her home, 'Our Lady wishes for all present to kneel down'. After Our Lady ascended back to Heaven, Ivanka went outside and announced to the crowd that when Our Lady asked everyone to kneel down, She gave them a SPECIAL BLESSING and said:

"The people here will be witnesses of the love of God."

She then told the group that Our Lady spoke of the third and fourth secrets.


1989


First Quarter of 1989

"Dear children, I again ask you to pray for all the young people of the world because they find themselves in a difficult situation. You can help them with your love and prayers of the heart."

January 26, 1989

Jakov says, "Our Lady is very sad because of the sinners in this world. She is also very sad because we don't live Her messages. Our Lady asks for prayer especially in the families for these two intentions."

March 18, 1989

Marija's birthday apparition. Our Lady appeared sad, very sad. This is rare. Our Lady then said: "One more time I beseech all of you to pray, to help by your prayers the unbelievers, those who do not have the grace to experience God in their hearts with a living faith. I do not want to threaten again! My wish is just to warn you all as a Mother. I beg you for people who do not know about the secrets.... I want to tell you how I suffer for all because I am the Mother of all."

April 1989

Mirjana made this statement: "I'd like to relay to the young people a petition from Our Lady". The petition is: "If they can't believe in God, they should spend at least five minutes per day in silent meditation. During that time, they should think about the God they say doesn't exist."

June 25, 1989

Ivanka's Annual Apparition lasted approximately eight minutes in all. In 1988, Our Lady spoke to her about the third and fourth secrets and in 1989, as if continuing that discussion, She spoke about the fifth secret. After the apparition Ivanka immediately wrote down an important message which Our Lady had given her. The message is: "Pray because you are in great temptation and danger because the world and material goods lead you into slavery. Satan is active in this plan. I want to help each of you in prayer. I am interceding to my Son for you."


March 1, 1984

"Dear children! I have chosen this parish in a special way and I wish to lead it. I am guarding it in love and I want everyone to be mine. Thank you for having responded tonight. I wish you always to be with me and my Son in ever greater numbers. I shall speak a message to you every Thursday."

March 8, 1984

"Thank you for having responded to my call! Dear children, you in the parish, be converted. This is my other wish. That way all those who shall come here shall be able to convert."

March 15,1984

"Tonight also, dear children, I am grateful to you in a special way for being here. Unceasingly adore the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. I am always present when the faithful are adoring. Special graces are then being received."

March 22, 1984

"Dear children! In a special way this evening I am calling you during Lent to honor the wounds of my Son, which He received from the sins of this parish. Unite yourselves with my prayers for the parish so that His sufferings may be bearable. Thank you for having responded to my call. Try to come in ever greater numbers."

March 29, 1984

"Dear children! In a special way this evening I am calling you to perseverance in trials. Consider how the Almighty is still suffering today on account of your sins. So when sufferings come, offer them up as a sacrifice to God. Thank you for having responded to my call."

April 5, 1984

"Dear children! This evening I pray you especially to venerate the Heart of my Son, Jesus. Make reparation for the wound inflicted on the Heart of my Son. That Heart is offended by all kinds of sins. Thank you for coming this evening."

"Dear children! Today I beseech you to stop slandering and to pray for the unity of the parish, because I and my Son have a special plan for this parish. Thank you for having responded to my call."

April 19, 1984 (Holy Thursday)

"Dear children! Sympathize with me! Pray, pray, pray!"

April 26, 1984

April 30, 1984 (Monday)

Marija asked Our Lady, "Dear Madonna, why didn't you give me a message for the parish on Thursday?" Our Lady replied, "I do not wish to force anyone to do that which he/she neither feels nor desires, even though I had special messages for the parish by which I wanted to awaken the faith of every believer. But only a really small number has accepted my Thursday messages. In the beginning there were quite a few. But its become a routine affair for them. And now recently some are asking for the message out of curiosity, and not out of faith and devotion to my Son and me."

May 10, 1984

Many of the faithful felt shaken by the last message of Our Lady. Some had the feeling that Our Lady would not give any more messages to the parish, but this evening she said, "I am speaking to you and I wish to speak further. You just listen to my instructions!"

May 17, 1984

"Dear children! Today I am very happy because there are many who want to consecrate themselves to me. Thank you. You have not made a mistake. My Son, Jesus Christ, wishes to bestow on you special graces through me. My Son is happy because of your dedication. Thank you for having responded to my call."

May 24, 1984

"Dear children! I have told you already that I have chosen you in a special way, just the way you are. I, the Mother, love you all. And in any moment that is difficult for you, do not be afraid! Because I love you even then when you are far from me and my Son. Please, do not let my heart weep with tears of blood because of the souls who are lost in sin. Therefore, dear children, pray, pray, pray! Thank you for having responded to my call."

May 31, 1984 (Ascension Thursday)

There were many people present from abroad. Our Lady did not give a message for the parish. She told Marija that she would give a message on Saturday to be announced at the Sunday parish Mass.

June 2, 1984 (Saturday)

"Dear children! Tonight I wish to tell you during the days of this novena to pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on your families and on your parish. Pray, and you shall not regret it. God will give you gifts by which you will glorify Him till the end of your life on this earth. Thank you for having responded to my call."

June 9, 1984 (Saturday)

"Dear children! Tomorrow night pray for the Spirit of Truth! Especially, you from the parish. Because you need the Spirit of Truth to be able to convey the messages just the way they are, neither adding anything to them, nor taking anything whatsoever way from them, but just the way I said them. Pray for the Holy Spirit to inspire you with the spirit of prayer, so you will pray more. I, your Mother, tell you that you are praying little. Thank you for having responded to my call."

June 14, 1984

June 21, 1984

July 19, 1984

"Dear children! These days you have been experiencing how Satan is working. I am always with you, and don't you be afraid of temptations because God is always watching over us. Also I have given myself to you and I sympathize with you even in the smallest temptation. Thank you for having responded to my call."

July 26, 1984

August 9, 1984

No message was given by Our Lady

August 11, 1984 (Saturday)

"Dear children! Pray, because Satan wishes to complicate my plans still further. Pray with the heart and surrender yourselves to Jesus in prayer."

August 14, 1984 (Tuesday)

This apparition was unexpected. Ivan was praying at home. After that he started to get ready to go to Church for the evening services. By surprise Our Lady appeared to him and told him to relate to the people. "I would like the people to pray along with me these days. And to pray as much as possible! And to fast strictly on Wednesdays and Fridays, and every day to pray at least one Rosary: the joyful, sorrowful and glorious mysteries." Our Lady asked that we accept this message with a firm will. She especially requested this of the parishioners and the faithful of the surrounding places.

August 16, 1984

"Dear children! I beseech you, especially those from this parish, to live my messages and convey them to others, to whomever you meet. Thank you for having responded to my call."

September 13, 1984

"Dear children! I still need your prayers. You wonder why all these prayers? Look around you, dear children, and you will see how greatly sin has dominated the world. Pray, therefore, that Jesus conquers. Thank you for having responded to my call."

September 20, 1984

"Dear children! Today I call on you to begin fasting with the heart. There are many people who are fasting, but 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 because God has allowed me to stay this long in this parish. Dear children, fast and pray with the heart. Thank you for having responded to my call."

September 27, 1984

"Dear children! You have helped me along by your prayers to realize my plans. Keep on praying that my plans completely I request the families of the parish to pray the family rosary. Thank you for having responded to my call."

October 4, 1984

"Dear children! Today I want to tell you that again and again you make me happy by your prayer, but there are enough of those in this very parish who do not pray and my heart is saddened. Therefore pray that I can bring all your sacrifices and prayers to the Lord. Thank you for having responded to my call."

October 8, 1984 (Monday)

(Jakov was sick and received this message at home.) "Dear children, Let all the prayers you say in your homes in the evening be for the conversion of sinners because the world is in great sin. Every evening pray the rosary."

October 11, 1984

"Dear children! Thank you for dedicating all your hard work to God even now when He is testing you through the grapes you are picking.

You just pray and God will give you the graces you are seeking. I will help along with it. Thank you for having responded to my call."

November 1, 1984

"Dear children! Today I call you to the renewal of prayer in your homes. The work in the fields is over. Now devote yourselves to prayer. Let prayer take the first place in your families. Thank you for having responded to my call."

November 8, 1984

"Dear children! You are not conscious of the messages which God is sending you through me. He is giving you great graces and you do not comprehend them. Pray to the Holy Spirit for enlightenment. If you only knew how great are the graces God is granting you, you would be praying without ceasing. Thank you for having responded to my call."

November 15, 1984

"Dear children! You are a chosen people and God has given you great graces. You are not conscious of every message which I am giving you. Now I just want to say - pray, pray, pray!

Be conscious, my beloved, that I am your Mother and I have come on earth to teach you to listen out of love, to pray out of love and not compelled by the fact that you are carrying a cross. By means of the cross God is glorified through every person. Thank you for having responded to my call."

December 6, 1984

"Dear children! These days I am calling you to family prayer. In God's Name many times I have been giving you messages, but you have not listened to me. This Christmas will be unforgettable for you only if you accept the messages which I am giving you. Dear children, don't allow that day of joy to become my most day. Thank you for having responded to my call."

December 13, 1984

"Dear children! You know that the season of joy is getting closer, but without love you will achieve nothing. So first of all, begin to love your own family, everyone in the parish, and then you'll be able to love and accept all who are coming over here. Now let these seven days be a week when you need to learn to love. Thank you for having responded to my call."

December 20, 1984

"Dear children! Today I am inviting you to do something concrete for Jesus Christ. As a sign of dedication to Jesus I want each family of the parish to bring a single flower before that happy day.

December 21, 1984 (Friday)

December 27, 1984

And I will go on giving them because I love you and I want you to spread my messages with your heart. Thank you for having responded to my call."

January 14, 1985 (Monday)

"My dear children! Satan is so strong and with all his might wants to disturb my plans which I have begun with you. You pray, just pray and don't stop for a minute! I will pray to my Son for the realization of all the plans I have begun. Be patient and constant in your prayers. And don't let Satan discourage you. He is working hard in the world. Be on your guard!" (Message conveyed by Vicka from Our Lady.)

January 17, 1985

"Dear children! These days Satan is working underhandedly against this parish, and you, dear children, have fallen asleep in prayer, and only some are going to Mass. Withstand the days of temptation! Thank you for having responded to my call."

January 24, 1985

"Dear children! These days you have experienced God's sweetness through the renewals which have been in this parish.

January 31, 1985

February 7, 1985

"Dear children! These days Satan is manifesting himself in a special way in this parish.

Thank you for having responded to my call."

February 14, 1985

"Dear children! Today is the day when I give you a message for the parish, but the whole parish is not accepting the messages and is not living them.

February 21, 1985

"Dear children! From day to day I have been inviting you to renewal and prayer in the parish, but you are not accepting it. Today I am calling you for the last time! Now it's Lent and you as a parish can turn to my messages during Lent out of love. If you do not do that, I do not wish to keep on giving messages. God is permitting me that. Thank you for having responded to my call."

February 28, 1985

"Dear children! Today I call you to live the word this week: "I love God!" Dear children through love you will achieve everything and even what you think is impossible. God wants this parish to belong completely to Him. And that's what I want too. Thank you for having responded to my call."

March 7, 1985

"Dear children! Today I call you to renew prayer in your families. Dear children, encourage the very young to prayer and the children to go to Holy Mass. Thank you for having responded to my call."

March 14, 1985

"Dear children! In your life you have all experienced light and darkness. God grants to every person to recognize good and evil.

Thank you for having responded to my call."

March 21, 1985

"Dear children! I wish to keep on giving messages and therefore today I call you to live and accept my messages! Dear children, I love you and in a special way I have chosen this parish, one more dear to me than the others, in which I have gladly remained when the Almighty sent me. Therefore I call on you - accept me, dear children, that it might go well with you. Listen to my messages! Thank you for having responded to my call."

March 24, 1985 (Sunday)

March 28, 1985

"Dear children! Today I wish to call you to pray, pray, pray! In prayer you shall perceive the greatest joy and the way out of every situation that has no exit. Thank you for starting up prayer.

April 4, 1985 (Holy Thursday)

"Dear children! I thank you for having started to think more about God's glory in your hearts. Today is the day when I wished to stop giving the messages because some individuals did not accept me.

The time has come when what my Lord desired has been fulfilled. Now I will give you less messages, but I am still with you.

Thank you for having responded to my call."

October 25, 1987

"My dear children! Today I want to call all of you to decide for Paradise. The way is difficult for those who have not decided for God.

I desire, dear children, that you help so that everything God has planned in this parish shall be realized. If you do not pray, you shall not be able to recognize my love and the plans which God has for this parish and for each individual.

January 25, 1988

"Dear children! Today again I am calling you to complete conversion, which is difficult for those who have not chosen 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 ever more near to God, but I cannot if you don't want it. Therefore, dear children put your life in God's hands. I bless you all. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Dear children, Satan is very strong and, therefore, I ask you to dedicate your prayers to me so that those who are under his influence can be saved. Give witness by your life. Sacrifice your lives for the salvation of the world. I am with you, and I 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 bit because you are God's children and He is watching over you. Pray and let the rosary always be in your hand as a sign to Satan that you belong to me. Thank you for having responded to my call."

March 25, 1988

"Dear children! Today also I am inviting you to a complete surrender to God. Dear children, you are not conscious of how God loves you with such a great love because 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. Therefore, dear children, forsake everything and consecrate your time to God and God will bestow gifts upon you and bless you. Little children, don't 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 yourselves but for all eternity. Thank you for having responded to my call."

April 25, 1988

"Dear children! God wants to make you holy. Therefore, 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, but 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. Therefore, little children, believe and pray that the Father increase your faith, and then ask for whatever you need. I am with you and I am rejoicing because of you conversion and I am protecting you with my motherly mantle. Thank you for having responded to my call."

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."

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.

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.

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.

August 25, 1991

"Dear Children! Today also I invite you to prayer, now as never before when my plan has begun to be realized.

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.

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."

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.

Thank you for having responded to my call."

February 25, 1992

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."

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 youit 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.

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.

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.

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.

Message of January 25, 1997

"Dear children!
I invite you to reflect about your future. You are creating a new world without God, only with your own strength and that is why you are unsatisfied and without joy in the heart. This time is my time and that is why, little children, I invite you again to pray. When you find unity with God, you will feel hunger for the word of God and your heart, little children, will overflow with joy. You will witness God's love wherever you are. I bless you and I repeat to you that I am with you to help you.
Thank you for having responded to my call."
