January 10, 1983 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje
Confidences from Mirjana to Fr. Tomislav Vlasic: During the 18 months that I saw the Gospa, a great intimacy was established between us. I felt her maternal love. I could ask her all kinds of questions. Thus I asked her why God was so merciless in sending sinners to Hell for eternity.
“Men who go to Hell no longer want to receive any benefit from God. They do not repent nor do they cease to swear and to blaspheme. They make up their mind to live in Hell and do not at all contemplate leaving it.”
(Man’s refusal is an irreversible choice.)Questioned on the subject of Purgatory, the Blessed Virgin says:
“There are different levels of which the lowest are close to Hell and the highest gradually draw near to Heaven. It is not on all souls day, but at Christmas, that the greatest numbers of souls leave Purgatory. There are in Purgatory, souls who pray ardently to God, but for whom no relative or friend prays for them on earth. God makes them benefit from the prayers of other people. It happens that God permits them to manifest themselves in different ways, close to their relatives on earth, in order to remind men of the existence of Purgatory, and to solicit their prayers close to God who is just, but good. The majority go to Purgatory. Many go to Hell. A small number go directly to Heaven.”(Monday, January 10, 1983)

January 7, 1983 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje
Our Lady begins to tell her life to the visionaries. They are invited to write down her testimony. They will not be able to make it public until they have received her authorization.
This dictation of her life lasted for Jakov until April, for Ivanka until May 22nd, and for Marija until July 17th.
Marija, who was still attending a school for hairdressers in Mostar, received only an abridged account on the days when she was in Medjugorje. For Vicka, it lasted until April 10th, 1985, and is a long account which filled three notebooks. Up to this day, the visionaries have not received authorization to reveal the contents.

Fr. Tomislav receives from the four visionaries present (Ivan, Jakov, Marija and Vicka), the following information: Marija has received 7 secrets, Vicka 8, Jakov, Ivanka and Ivan 9, and Mirjana 10.

Today the statue of the Queen of Peace was finished. It was sculptured by Vipotnik, a sculptor from Slovenia, and painted by Luka Stojaknac, and Florijan Mickovic, who wanted to maintain anonymity. This statue has been a source of grace for Luka, who is Orthodox.
The Visionaries ask: May we put the statue in church? “Yes, you may!”
It is this statue which had been venerated for a long time in the nave. It was removed from there on orders from the bishop on March 25th, 1985. It then found itself consigned to the small chapel of the apparitions. (Monday, December 27, 1982)

With respect to the same article (Dec. 18, 1982), the visionaries ask: Is it necessary to give the faithful of Mostar objective information concerning the case in Hercegovina? “No!”
Is it better for the visionaries to pray with you, and for the pilgrims to ask their questions to the priests instead?

Frightened by the eighth secret, Mirjana prayed to the Blessed Virgin to preserve humanity from this calamity:
“I have prayed; the punishment has been softened. Repeated prayers and fasting reduce punishments from God, but it is not possible to avoid entirely the chastisement. Go on the streets of the city, count those who glorify God and those who offend Him. God can no longer endure that.” (Saturday, November 6, 1982) -

August 29, 1982 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje
With reference to the critiques on the apparitions, which have divided the priests in Hercegovina:
“I have not desired your division. On the contrary, I desire that you be united. Do not ignore the fact that I am the Queen of Peace. If you desire a practical 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.” (Sunday, August 29, 1982) -

Mirjana reports to Fr. Tomislav Vlasic what the Gospa has told her concerning the sick:
“Have them believe and pray; I cannot help those who do not pray and do 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.”Question asked with regard to a marriage planned 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.” (Wednesday, August 18, 1982) -
August 16, 1982 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

A response to questions which were asked concerning Confession:
“One must invite people to go to Confession each month, especially the first Saturday. Here I have not spoken about it yet. I have invited people to frequent Confession. I will give you yet some concrete messages for our time. Be patient because the time has not yet come. Do what I have told you. They are numerous who do not observe it. Monthly Confession will be a remedy for the Church in the West. One must convey this message to the West.”That night Our Lady gave a sign to a group of young people who prayed with Ivan Dragicevic. Two luminary signs descended on Krizevac and the church… This phenomenon was observed by Fr. Tomislav Vlasic near the church. (Friday, August 6, 1982 (Feast of the Transfiguration))

A response to questions asked regarding Hell:
“Today many persons go to Hell. God permits his children to suffer in Hell due to the fact that they have committed grave unpardonable sins. Those who are in Hell, no longer have a chance to know a better lot.”Response to questions regarding cures:
“For the cure of the sick, it is important to say the following prayers: the Creed, 7 Our Father’s, Hail Mary’s and Glory Be’s, and to fast on bread and water. It is good to impose one’s hands on the sick and to pray. It is good to anoint the sick with holy oil. All priests do not have the gift of healing. In order to revive this gift, the priest must pray with perseverance and believe firmly.” (Sunday, July 25, 1982) -
July 24, 1982 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje
Answer to some questions which were asked:
“We go to Heaven in full conscience: that which we have now. At the moment of death, we are conscious of the separation of the body and the soul. It is false to teach people that we are re-born many times and that we pass to different bodies. One is born only once. The body, drawn from the earth, decomposes after death. It never comes back to life again. Man receives a transfigured body. Whoever has done very much evil during his life can go straight to Heaven if he confesses, is sorry for what he has done, and received Communion at the end of his life.” (Saturday, July 24, 1982) -
July 21, 1982 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje
To the response conveyed by Fr. Tomislav Vlasic on Purgatory:
“There are many souls in Purgatory. There are also persons who have been consecrated to God: some priests, some religious. Pray for their intentions, at least 7 Our Father’s, Hail Mary’s and Glory Be’s and the Creed. I recommend it to you. There is a large number of souls who have been in Purgatory for a long time because no one prays for them.”A response to a question on fasting:
“The best fast is on bread and water. Through fasting and prayer, one can stop wars, one can suspend the laws of nature. Charity cannot replace fasting. Those who are not able to fast can sometime replace it with prayer, charity and a confession; but everyone, except the sick, must fast.” (Wednesday, July 21, 1982) -

Before the evening Mass, during the apparition, the Virgin told the priests, through the intermediary of the visionaries:

June 23, 1982 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje
Just before the anniversary of June 24th, Vicka answered some questions asked by Fr. Tomislav Vlasic, who reported them in the parish Chronicle in June. Our Lady said:
“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.”
(Some of the visionaries understood that these words were directed specifically to them, and they began to cry).“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. 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. Let them not print books on the apparitions before the anniversary has passed, because that could have some undesirable consequences. You have asked me to keep in this parish good and faithful priests 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 promises of God.”
With respect to a question from a theologian: Does the Holy Spirit have two natures? “He has only one; the Divine nature.”
The visionaries: They have said that these would be the last apparitions on earth? Is it true? “These apparitions are the last in the world.”
As far as I have understood, observes Fr. Tomislav Vlasic, her answer is not only given in Medjugorje, but also in other parts of the world. (Wednesday, June 23, 1982 (Possibly a few days preceding))

Spring 1982 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje
Question asked at the request of the pastor at Lzbicno, alleged place of other apparitions: Why are there so many signs in Hercegovina?
“It is God who gives them. My children, have you not observed that faith began to extinguish itself? There are many who do not come to church except through habit. It is necessary to awaken the faith. It is a gift from God.”
People are surprised that you are appearing in so many places:
“If it is necessary, I will appear in each home.”With respect to the little visionaries from Lzbicno, which is located 36 miles from Medjugorje: In 1982-83, 18 persons, mostly females, said they received apparitions. The visionaries from Medjugorje were said to have received kind words from those in Lzbicno, but the Blessed Virgin reminded them strongly, that they must not have any contact with these persons, nor invite them to Medjugorje.
“Did I not tell you not to come together with those children? I am your mother, you must obey me.”For Jakov, who was crying to see Vicka ill:

“Pray for all the sick. Believe firmly. I will come to help, according to that which is in my power I will ask my Son, Jesus, to help them. The most important thing, in the meantime, is a strong faith. Numerous sick persons think that it is sufficient to come here in order to be quickly healed. Some of them do not even believe in God, and even less, in the apparitions, and then they ask for help from the Gospa!” (Tuesday, February 9, 1982) -

After the prayers, the songs and the questions, Our Lady reprimanded two visionaries because of their behavior, and recommended to them not to behave in this manner again.

Ivan: How can one put priests, who do not believe in the apparitions, on the right track?
“It is necessary to tell them that, from the very beginning, I have been conveying the message of God to the world. It is a great pity not to believe in it. Faith is a vital element, but one cannot compel a person to believe. Faith is the foundation from which everything flows.”Is it really you who appears at the foot of the Cross?
“Yes, it is true. Almost every day I am at the foot of the Cross. My Son carried the Cross. He has suffered on the Cross, and by it, He saved the world. Every day I pray to my Son to forgive the sins of the world.” (Thursday, December 31, 1981) -

Responding to a question from the visionaries with respect to their future:
“I would like for all of you to become priests and religious, but only if you desire it. You are free. It is up to you to choose. 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.”On this day of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, the Gospa was serious; she knelt down with arms extended while praying:
“My beloved Son, I beseech you to be willing to forgive the world its great sin through which it offends you.”
