Our Lady’s Messages

  • November 3, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    The Virgin begins the song, Come, Come to Us Lord, and we continued it with her.
    “I am often at Krizevac, at the foot of the cross, to pray there. Now I pray to my Son to forgive the world its sins. The world has begun to convert.”
    She smiles, and then leaves. (Tuesday, November 3, 1981)

  • November 2, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Why did you show us paradise the day before yesterday?
    “I did it so that you could see the happiness which awaits those who love God.”

    Jesus appears to them crowned with thorns, and with injuries all over His body. The children are afraid.
    “Do not be afraid. It is my Son. See how He has been martyred. In spite of all, He was joyful and He endured all with patience.”

    Jesus tells them:
    “Look at me. How I have been injured and martyred. In spite of all, I have gained the victory. You also, my angels, be persevering in your faith and pray so that you may overcome.” (Monday, November 2, 1981)

  • Beginning of November 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    The Virgin appears with a picture of John Paul II in her hand. She embraces the picture:
    “He is our father, and the father of all. It is necessary to pray for him.” (Beginning of November 1981)

  • November 1, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

  • October 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Regarding the conflict between the Franciscans and the Bishop of Mostar in Hercegovina: “It is going to find a solution. We must have patience and pray.”

    In response to a question posed by the visionaries: What will become of Poland? “There will be great conflicts but in the end, the just will take over.”

    With respect to Russia:
    “It is the people where God will be most glorified. The West has made civilization progress, but without God, as if they were their own creators.” (October 1981)

  • October 31, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Vicka’s diary: Mirjana arrives from Sarajevo, where she is studying at a professional school, and where she has had daily apparitions. Vicka reports: The Gospa advises as an attentive mother would. She tells Mirjana twice who she must distrust, which persons to avoid, how to conduct herself with those who reproach her, and insult God. She also tells her to break a relationship with a girl who wanted to get her into drugs, and not to quarrel with anyone, and to answer a point when it is useful, or to remain silent and go on her way when that is better. She tells her also that Fr. Jozo will not spend more than four years in prison. She was happy because all five of us were together.

    On the question of Danny Ljolje, the Gospa said:
    “There is a lot of deception and erroneous information.”

    Then Our Lady showed us a part of paradise. It was indescribably beautiful, with many people, particularly children. We were afraid. The Blessed Virgin told us not to be afraid.

    “All those who are faithful to God will have that.”

    Ivanka saw her mother in paradise as well as another person who was of her acquaintance. (Saturday, October 31, 1981)

  • October 30, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    “Praise be Jesus!”

    Jakov and Vicka: What was in the sealed envelope that they showed us at city hall? (Someone told them they would believe in the apparitions, if they could read what was in the sealed envelope.)
    “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.”

    Should one celebrate Christmas Mass in the evening or at Midnight?
    “Have them celebrate it at midnight.”

    To the visionaries: “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.” (Friday, October 30, 1981)

  • October 29, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    “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!” (Thursday, October 29, 1981)

  • October 28, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Were you there at Krizevac yesterday for half an hour?
    “Yes, didn’t you see me?”

    Several hundred people saw, at the site of the first apparition, a fire which burned without consuming anything. In the evening, Our Lady tells the visionaries: “The fire seen by the faithful was of a supernatural character. It is one of the signs; a forerunner of the great sign.”
    (Wednesday, October 28, 1981)

  • October 26, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    The Blessed Virgin appeared smiling:
    “Praise be Jesus. You are not to ask me any more questions on the subject of the sign. Do not be afraid, it will surely appear. I carry out my promises. As far as you are concerned, pray, persevere in prayer.” (Monday, October 26, 1981)

  • October 25, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Three girls from Citluk are returning home after Mass and suddenly see a great light from which fifteen silhouettes, dressed in Franciscan frock, are seen. They go down on their knees, and begin to pray and cry. The Blessed Virgin was asked about this and said:
    “It was a supernatural phenomenon. I was among the saints.” (Sunday, October 25, 1981)

  • October 22, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    “Jozo has been sentenced. Let us go to church to pray.”

    We were sad because of Jozo.
    “You should rejoice!”

    Is the whiteness of the cross a supernatural phenomenon?
    “Yes, I confirm it.”

    After many people saw the cross on Mt. Krizevac transform itself into a light, and then into a silhouette of Our Lady, she said:
    “All of these signs are designed to strengthen your faith until I leave you the visible and permanent sign.” (Thursday, October 22, 1981)

  • October 21, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    With respect to Fr. Jozo who is awaiting sentence from the court. Vicka: Dear Gospa, I know that you do not have the spirit of vengeance, but try nevertheless to bring certain people to reason, so that they might judge impartially.
    “Jozo looks well and he greets you warmly. Do not fear for Jozo. He is a saint, I have already told you.”

    Will Jozo be condemned?
    “Sentence will not be pronounced this evening. Do not be afraid, he will not be condemned to a severe punishment. Pray only, because Jozo asks from you prayer and perseverance. Do not be afraid because I am with you.” (Wednesday, October 21, 1981)

  • October 20, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Vicka: Dear Gospa, have mercy on Fr. Jozo tomorrow during the trial. Paralyze someone; strike someone on the head. I know it is a sin to speak so, but what can we do? The Gospa smiles at my words, then she sings, Jesus Christ, in Your Name. When we finished the song with Our Lady she tells us: “Go in the peace of God.” Then she leaves. (Tuesday, October 20, 1981)

  • October 19, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    “Pray for Fr. Jozo and fast tomorrow on bread and water. Then you will fast for a whole week on bread and water. Pray, my angels. Now I will show you Fr. Jozo.”

    The visionaries have a vision of Fr. Jozo in prison. He tells them not to be afraid for him, and that everything was well.

    With respect to Marinko who protected the visionaries:
    “There are a few similar faithful. He is made a sufficient number of sacrifices for Jozo. He underwent many torments and sufferings. Continue, and do not let anyone take the faith away from you.” (Monday, October 19, 1981)

  • October 17, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Questioned on the subject of the visible sign, Our Lady responds:
    “It is mine to realize the promise. With respect to the faithful, have them pray and believe firmly.” (Saturday, October 17, 1981)

  • October 12, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Where are the Kingdom of God and paradise? “In Heaven.”

    Are you the Mother of God? “I am the Mother of God and the Queen of Peace.”

    Did you go to Heaven before or after death? “I went to Heaven before death.”

    When will you leave us the sign?
    “I will not yet leave the sign. I shall continue to appear. Father Jozo sends you greetings. He is experiencing difficulties, but he will resist, because he knows why he is suffering.” (Monday, October 12, 1981)

  • October 10, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    “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.” (Saturday, October 10, 1981)

  • October 8, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Marija humbly reports that the Gospa had scolded her for having stayed (during Mass) with her religious instruction school mates, who asked her about the apparitions:
    “You would have done better to attend Mass rather than to satisfy human curiosity.” (Thursday, October 8, 1981)

  • October 7, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    The visionaries: Is there, outside of Jesus, other intermediaries between God and man, and if so, what is their role?
    “There is only one mediator between God and man, and it is Jesus Christ.”

    On the request from Fr. Tomislav: Should we found a community here just like that of Saint Francis of Assisi?
    “God has chosen Saint Francis as His elected one. It would be good to imitate his life. In the meantime, we must realize what God orders us to do.” (Wednesday, October 7, 1981)

  • October 6, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    “The evening Mass must definitely be kept. The Mass of the sick must be celebrated on a specific day at a time which is most convenient. Father Tomislav must begin with the prayer group. It is very necessary. Have Father Tomislav pray with fervor.” (Tuesday, October 6, 1981)

  • October 1, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    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, one prays to God more. In others, less. That depends on the priests who motivate others to pray. That also depends on the power which they have.”

    Why are there so many apparitions, which repeat themselves so many times? Why does the Blessed Virgin appear to children who do not follow the way of God? “I appear to you often and in every place. To others, I appear from time to time and briefly. They do not follow yet, completely the way of God. They are not aware of the gift which He has made them, that no one deserves. With time, they also will come to follow the right way.” (Thursday, October 1, 1981)

  • September 30, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

  • September 17, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Concerning a sick person: “He will die very soon.”
    Then the Blessed Virgin encouraged the children: “Persevere and you will be rewarded. 
    (Thursday, September 17, 1981)

  • September 16, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Ivan’s diary: The students in the seminary prayed the Rosary after they had gone to Confession. The Virgin came near the image of Jesus and said: “There is your Father, my angel. Go in the peace of God, my angels.” (Sunday, September 13, 1981)

  • September 4, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Ivanka and Marija: Since we will be far away at school during the week, except on Saturdays and Sundays, what must we do?
    “It is enough for you to pray. Come here Saturdays and Sundays. I will appear to all of you.”

    To Ivan in the seminary: “The sign will be given at the end of the apparitions.”
    Ivan: When will that be? “You are impatient, my angel. Go in the peace of God.” (Friday, September 4, 1981)

  • September 2, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Concerning a young man who hanged himself. Vicka: Why did he do that? “Satan took hold of him. This young man should not have done that. The Devil tries to reign over the people. He takes everything into his hands, but the force of God is more powerful, and God will conquer.”

    Ivan’s diary: How will things go for Anton, Dario, Miljenko, my friends in the seminary, and for me?

    The cross, the heart, and the sun appeared.

    Ivan’s diary: I prayed with her so that Jesus might help me in my vocation. Then we recited the rosary. The Gospa smiled with kindness.
    “Do not be afraid. I am close to you and I watch over you.” (Tuesday, September 1, 1981)

  • End of August 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Which is the best fasting? “A fast on bread and water.”

    “I am the Queen of Peace.” (End of August 1981)

  • August 30, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Vicka: At 6:20pm, we began to pray at the home of Marinko Ivankovic. The Virgin arrived and said: “Praised be Jesus!”

    Vicka: People say that since they locked up Fr. Jozo in his cell, the doors unlock by themselves. Is that true? “It is true, but no one believes it.”

    Ivanka: How is Mirjana? What are her feelings?
    “Mirjana is sad because she is all alone. I will show her to you.”
    Suddenly, we saw Mirjana’s face. She was crying.

    Dear Gospa, there are some young people who betray our faith.
    “Yes, there are many.”
    She mentions some names.

    Vicka asks the Virgin concerning a woman who wanted to leave her husband because he was making her suffer.
    “Let her remain close to him and accept her suffering. Jesus, Himself, also suffered.”

    On the matter of a sick young boy:
    “He is suffering from a very grave illness. Let his parents firmly believe, do penance, then the little boy will be cured.”

    Jakov asks her about the sign: “Again, a little patience.”

    Ivan, who had been several days without an apparition: How will I do in this seminary? “Be without fear. I am close to you everywhere and at all times.”

    Ivan’s diary: Are the people pious in our village?
    “Your village has become the most fervent parish in Hercegovina. A large number of people distinguish themselves through their piety and their faith.” (Sunday, August 30, 1981)

  • August 29, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Jakov: Are you also appearing to Ivan in the seminary?
    “Yes, just like to you.”

    How is Ivan Ivankovic? (Son of Pero, cousin of Vicka, and one of four men in Bijakovici who bear this name. He had been arrested by the police on Aug 12th, while on the hill of the apparitions, and was imprisoned.)
    “He is well. He is enduring everything. All that will pass. Father Jozo sends you greetings.”

    What is the news from our village?
    “My angels, you are doing your penance well.”

    Will you help us in our studies? “God’s help manifests itself everywhere.”

    “Go in the peace of God with the blessing of Jesus and mine. Goodbye.”
    (From Ivan’s journal.)

    Ivanka: Will you leave us a sign soon? “Again, a little patience.” (Saturday, August 29, 1981)

  • August 28, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    At the hour of the apparition, the visionaries wait in the room of Fr. Jozo, who is in prison. The Virgin does not appear. It is the second time that this has happened. They go to church and pray. She then appears to them:
    “I was with Father Jozo. That is why I did not come. Do not trouble yourselves if I do not come. It suffices then to pray.”

    Today, Ivan entered the seminary of Visoko:
    “You are very tired. Rest, so that you can find strength. Go in the peace of God. Goodbye.” (From Ivan’s journal) – Friday, August 28, 1981

  • August 27, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Vicka: Marija and I came to Jakovs house today about 6:00pm. We helped Jakovs mother prepare supper. At 6:00pm the Blessed Virgin came toward us. I was outside when the Blessed Virgin Mary came. She said that they should not have to make one suffer so.

    We asked her with respect to the sign, and she said:
    “Very soon, I promise you.”

    We recommended certain sick people to Our Lady. She stayed with us for 15 minutes. Then we left for the home of Marinko Ivankovic in order to wait for the Blessed Virgin there. She came at 6:30pm. She told Ivan:
    “Be strong and courageous.
    She left, and the cross, the heart and the sun appeared. (Thursday, August 27, 1981)

  • August 26, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Today, for the first time, we waited for the Blessed Virgin at the home of Zdenka Ivankovic. There were five of us, because Ivanka had not yet returned. The Blessed Virgin appeared and said: “Praised be Jesus.”

    She said that tomorrow the people did not have to come, and thus we would be by ourselves. Then also:
    “Do not give advice to anyone. I know what you feel and that will pass, also.” (Wednesday, August 26, 1981)

  • August 25, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Some persons who were present asked the visionaries to request of the Blessed Virgin permission to touch her. Our Lady said: “It is not necessary to touch me. Many are those who do not feel anything when they touch me.”

    Our Lady also said that among those present, there was a spy (no other clarification was given).

    On the matter of the sign:
    “You do not have to become impatient for the day will come.” (Tuesday, August 25, 1981)

  • August 24, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    In Vicka’s diary,  August 25th, she writes: Yesterday, Monday the 24th at 10:45am, Mirjana and I were at Ivan’s house. We heard a commotion and we went out running. Outside, everybody was looking at the cross on Krizevac. At the spot of the cross, Mirjana, Jakov, Ivan and I saw the Blessed Virgin, and the people saw something like her statue, which then began to disappear, and the cross appeared again. Over the entire sky everyone saw, written in gold letters, the word “MIR” (which means peace in Croatian).

    Vicka’s diary then reports the apparition on August 25th. A little after Our Lady prayed for peace, a large inscription appeared on top of Krizevac… The word “MIR” was seen by the pastor and many persons from the village. The visionaries affirmed that the Blessed Virgin promised that there would still be many other signs as forerunners before the great sign in Medjugorje, and in other parts of the world. (Monday, August 24, 1981)

  • August 23, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

  • August 2, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Marija sees the Virgin in her room:
    “All of you together go to the meadow at Guvno. A great battle is about to take place. A battle between my Son and Satan. Human souls are at stake.”

    The visionaries, accompanied by about 40 local people, went to the prairie of Guvno, about 200 yards from Vicka’s house. Our Lady said:
    “Everyone here may touch me.”

    After many people had touched her, a black stain appeared on her dress. Marija cried. Marinko invited the people who were present to go to Confession. (Sunday, August 2, 1981)

  • July 29, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Vicka’s diary – 35th apparition, 6:30pm
    Today we waited for the Blessed Virgin in Vicka’s room. At exactly 6:30pm, the Gospa came and greeted us: “Praised be Jesus!”

    Jakov was the first to question her on the subject of a person who was ill. The Blessed Virgin said: “She will be cured. She must believe firmly…”
    Vicka asked Our Lady why she had not come the day before. The Blessed Virgin said something, and smiled, but no one heard it. Then Marija and Jakov asked her about certain sick people. We then took some religious articles, and the four of us approached Our Lady so that she would bless them. As Our Lady was blessing the articles our hands became very cold.

    Jakov asked if we could embrace her. The Blessed Virgin said that we should approach, and embrace her. Then we asked her to leave us the sign. She said: Yes. Go in the peace of God.”

    As Our Lady began to disappear, on the ceiling, the Cross and the Heart were visible. The cross, the heart, and the sun are also mentioned by Vicka’s diary in later apparitions.

    In church we saw the Blessed Virgin a second time toward 8:00pm in the choir loft. While we were praying, the Blessed Virgin prayed with us. (Wednesday, July 29, 1981)

  • July 27, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    Vicka’s diary – 33rd apparition, 6:30pm
    Only four of us came because they put pressure on Ivan, Ivanka and Mirjana to go to Sarajevo. At 6:30pm exactly, the Gospa appeared. Vicka asked her about certain sick people, took some objects which had been given to her by some people, and approached Our Lady so that she could bless them. The Gospa made the Sign of the Cross and said:
    “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”

    Then we questioned her on the subject of the sign, and the Gospa answered:
    “Await, it will not be for long. If I will leave you a sign, I will still appear to you.”

    Vicka asked if we would be able to see her again one more time this evening on the hill. The Gospa agreed and said:
    “I will come at 11:15pm. Go in the peace of God.”

    Saying this, she began to disappear and we saw in the heavens the heart and the cross. Our Lady said:
    “My angels, I send you my Son, Jesus, Who was tortured for His faith, and yet He endured everything. You also, my angels, will endure everything.”

    Jesus had long hair, brown eyes, and a beard. We only saw His head. She said that we prayed and sang beautifully:
    “It is beautiful to listen to you. Continue in this manner.”

    In conclusion she said: “Don’t be afraid for Jozo.” (Monday, July 27, 1981)
    (The pastor of the parish who had been threatened by the police).

    Today, also, we went to the place of the apparitions about 6:20pm, and while praying and singing, we waited for the Blessed Virgin. At exactly 6:30pm we saw the light which slowly approached. Then we saw the Blessed Virgin and heard her customary greeting. To our questions, relative to the majority of the sick, the Gospa answered quickly:
    “Without faith, nothing is possible. All those who will believe firmly will be cured.” (July 24, 1981 – Friday)

    On arriving she said: “Praise be Jesus Christ.”

    All of us questioned her on the subject of some sick people who had been recommended to us. Then we prayed with the Blessed Virgin. She only said the Our Father and Glory Be, and during the time that we said the Hail Mary, she was silent. The Gospa told us that:

    “A good many people have been converted and among them some had not gone to Confession in 45 years, and now, they are going to Confession. Go in the peace of God.”

    As Our Lady was departing, a cross appeared in the sky. (July 22, 1981 – Wednesday)

    Just like every day, we spoke with the Gospa. She arrived at 6:30pm, and greeted us: Praised be Jesus!
    Then we asked her if she would give us a sign. She said yes. Then we asked her how much longer she would still continue to visit us. The Blessed Virgin responded:
    My sweet angels, even if I were to leave the sign, many people will not believe. Many people will only come here and bow down. But people must be converted and do penance.”

    Then we questioned her on the subject of the sick. For some, the Gospa said that they would be cured only if their faith was strong, and for others, no. Then she prepared to depart. Upon leaving, she said to us:
    Go in the peace of God.” (July 21, 1981 – Tuesday)

    The visionaries believe the apparitions had ended, but Our Lady appeared to each one of them separately, where he or she was. No message was preserved. (July 4, 1981 – Saturday)

    During this period, Our Lady appeared to the visionaries in hidden places, away from the police patrols that were trying to track them down.

    Apparition at Cerno.
    Mirjana: Are you angry that we were not on the hill?
    That doesn’t matter.”

    Would you be angry if we would not return any longer to the hill, but we would wait in the church?
    Always at the same time. Go in the peace of God.”

    On that day, Mirjana thought that she understood that the Gospa would return for three more days, until Friday. But it was only her interpretation.

  • June 29, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje

    The visionaries: Dear Gospa, are you happy to see so many people here today? “More than happy.” (She smiles, writes Vicka).

    How long will you stay with us? “As long as you will want me to, my angels.”

    What do you expect of the people who have come in spite of the brambles and the heat? “There is only one God, one faith. Let the people believe firmly and do not fear anything.”

    What do you expect of us?
    “That you have a solid faith and that you maintain confidence.”

    Will we know how to endure persecutions, which will come to us because of you?
    “You will be able to, my angels. Do not fear. You will be able to endure everything. You must believe and have confidence in me.”

    Here Vicka writes a question from Dr. Darinka Glamuzina: May I touch Our Lady? She gives this response:
    “There have always been Doubting Thomas’s, but she can approach.”

    Vicka shows her where to stretch out her hand. Darinka tries to touch her. Our Lady disappears, and then reappears in her light.

    The parents of a three-year-old child, Daniel Setka, who had suffered from septicemia since the fourth day of his birth, asked the visionaries to intercede for the handicapped child. Dear Gospa, is little Daniel going to speak some day? Cure him so that they all will believe us. These people love you very much, dear Gospa. Perform a miracle. Dear Gospa, say something. They repeated this petition and conveyed the response:
    “Have them believe strongly in his cure. Go in the peace of God.”

    The visionaries: What do you wish?
    “That people believe and persevere in the faith.”

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

    Why don’t you appear to everyone in church?
    “Blessed are they who believe without having seen.”

    Will you come back? “Yes, to the same place.”

    Do you prefer prayer or singing? “Both, praying and singing.”

    Vicka: What do you wish from the crowd which has gathered here? The visionaries said this question received no response except for a glance filled with love, and Our Lady’s smile. Then Our Lady disappeared. The visionaries prayed so that she might return because she had not said: Goodbye, my angels. During their song, You Are All Beautiful, she reappears.

    Vicka: Dear Gospa, what do you expect of this people? She repeated the question three times and finally was given this answer:
    “That those who do not see believe as those who see.”

    Vicka: Will you leave us a sign so that people believe that we are not liars or comedians? No other response, only a smile. “Go in the peace of God”, She said, as she disappeared.

    Jakov: What do you expect of our Franciscans?
    “Have them persevere in the faith and protect the faith of others.”

    Jakov and Mirjana: Leave us a sign because the people treat us as liars.
    “My angels, do not be afraid of injustice. It has always existed.”

    The visionaries: How must we pray?
    “Continue to recite 7 Our Father’s and 7 Hail Mary’s and Glory Be’s, but also add the Creed. Goodbye, my angels. Go in the peace of God.”

    To Ivan, aside from the others: “Be in peace and take courage.”

    In the presence of a crowd of 2,000 to 3,000 people, drawn there by the luminary signs coming from the hill of the apparitions, Vicka sprinkles the apparition with Holy Water and says: If you are the Gospa, stay with us, if not, go away. The apparition only smiles.

    Ivanka: Why have you come here? What do you desire?
    “I have come because there are many true believers here. I wish to be with you to convert and to reconcile the whole world.”

    Ivanka: Did my mother say anything?
    “Obey your grandmother and help her because she is old.”

    Mirjana: How is my grandfather? (He had recently died.) “He is well.”

    The visionaries, on a request from the crowd: Give us a sign which will prove your presence. “Blessed are those who have not seen and who believe.”

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

    Why are you appearing to us? We are not better than others.
    “I do not necessarily choose the best.”

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

    On returning to the village after the apparition, Marija sees the Virgin again, in tears, near a cross with rainbow colors:
    “Peace, Peace, Peace! Be reconciled! Only Peace. Make your peace with God and among yourselves. For that, it is necessary to believe, to pray, to fast, and to go to confession.”

    The date of the first apparition for the group of six visionaries, who see Our Lady nearby on the hill: Our Lady says: “Praised be Jesus!”

    Ivanka: Where is my mother? (Her mother had died two months previously.) “She is happy. She is with me.”

    The visionaries: Will you return tomorrow? The apparition answers with a nod of her head.

    Mirjana: No one will believe us. They will say that we are crazy. Give us a sign! The apparition responds only with a smile. Mirjana believed she had received a sign. Her watch had changed time during the apparition.
    “Goodbye, my angels. Go in the peace of God.”
