I feel the need to remind you all that the Secrets of Medjugorje are drawing closer and closer, especially the first Secrets.
The first three "Secrets" are described both at Medjugorje (1980's) and Garabandal (1960's) and by others, and are called “THE WARNING.” I was blissfully living out my days, thinking that it was still a long way off, but I am being prompted to look into it anew.
The Warning takes up the first 3 of the 10 Secrets of Medjugorje and the first 2 of 3 Secrets of Garabandal. Medjugorje separates the opening visual event (first Medjugorje secret) from the second Medjugorje secret which is spiritual. The third Medjugorje secret, according to my understanding, is another largely visual event, but includes spiritual dimensions and is predicted to occur about a year later. (The 10th Medjugorje Secret coincides with the 3rd Garabandal Secret which I am not trying to describe here, but is the main motivation for this blog site which I have kept going since 2013.)
The first two Medjugorje secrets will happen on the same day. This is the same event as the first Garabandal secret. Both will be announced a few days in advance, in Medjugorje by Father Petar (working with the visionary, Mirjana) and in Garabandal by visionary, Conchita.
IT SEEMS THE FIRST EVENT WILL BE A COSMIC COLLISION OF TWO STARS, VISIBLE THE WHOLE WORLD OVER. It will be real but won't hurt us. It will be thunderous and brilliant. That is to get everybody's attention!
THE ACCOMPANYING EVENT WILL BE THE “WARNING”. It is sometimes called “THE CORRECTION OF CONSCIENCES” or “THE ILLUMINATION OF CONSCIENCES” In this miraculous instant, like the one we expect to experience when we die, we will be given a review of our whole lives, with an assessment of our destiny if we were to die at that moment, heaven, purgatory, or hell. AND WE WILL BE GIVEN BY GOD THE ASSURANCE THAT WE ARE LOVED AND HOW WE SHOULD PROCEED IN ORDER TO GET TO HEAVEN. We will know that God has spoken to us and have the opportunity to make any necessary changes in future. Everyone on earth will receive this Voice of God at the same time but be individually addressed according to his or her own soul's condition. No one will be killed, but some people might die from shock!
This means to me that we might want to spiffy-up our souls in preparation for this special audience with His Wonderful Majesty. Nothing can change the reality of our past sins, and we are going to have to look at them again, confessed or not, forgiven or not. Yet we will be left with an overwhelming assurance that we are totally LOVED by our God and have HIS word on what is true! And we will know it is HIM!
The Blessed Mother gave these secrets at Medjugorje and Garabandal and other places to encourage all people to turn to God's commandments and to pray and fast in expiation for sins and for the conversion of sinners. The MORE we pray and fast in anticipation of the Warning, the MORE SUCCESS there will be in saving MORE SOULS. This is why Mary appears on earth, why Our Lord sends her again and again, why we listen with our hearts “burning within us”... to SAVE MORE SOULS!
This is an "off the top of my head" verson of the Warning and my own comments. None of it is copied word for word from any of many sources.
However: I have just read a new book that you might like. It really gives us the whole-nine-yards about the Warning. It is 100% Catholic. “The Warning” by Christine Watkins, published by Queen of Peace Media.
Love, Jeanne
