Gathered by Different Authors
We give in an appendix, the
messages which have been gathered by authors, who had made inquiry into the
messages of Medjugorje. These messages, which they generally did not date, (nor
give the means for dating) are presented in a chronological order, per each
book. This provides a "date limit." As an exception, we group at the
end, the four volumes of homilies of Father T. Vlasic and Father Slavko
Barbaric, which are remarkable for the quality of their information.
APOCALYPTIC MESSAGES
Received by Mirjana before
December 26, 1982, confided on November 5, 1983 to Tomislav Vlasic, who
conveyed them to the Pope on December 16, 1983. In his letter of December 16,
1983, to the Pope, and published in "Is The Virgin Mary Appearing at
Medjugorje?" (Paris, 1984), Tomislav Vlasic reports some revelations
received by Mirjana in 1982, and confided to him November 5, 1983, with this
significant introduction: "During the apparition of December 25, 1982,
according to Mirjana, the Madonna confided to her the tenth and last secret,
and revealed to her, the dates in which the different secrets will be realized.
The Blessed Virgin revealed to Mirjana some aspects of the future, up to this
point, in greater detail than to the other seers. For this reason, I am
reporting here what Mirjana told me in a conversation of November 5, 1983. I summarized the essentials of her account,
without literal quotation. Mirjana told me: "Before the visible sign is given to humanity, there will be three
warnings to the world. The warnings will be in the form of events on earth.
Mirjana will be a witness to them. Ten days before one of the admonitions,
Mirjana will notify a priest of her choice. The witness of Mirjana will be a
confirmation of the apparitions and a stimulus for the conversion of the world.
After the admonitions, the visible sign will appear on the site of
the apparitions in Medjugorje for all the world to see. The sign will be given
as a testimony to the apparitions and in order to call people back to faith.
“The ninth and tenth secrets are serious. They concern chastisement
for the sins of the world. Punishment is inevitable, for we cannot expect the
whole world to be converted. The punishment can be diminished by prayer and
penance, but it cannot be eliminated. Mirjana says that one of the evils that
threatened the world, the one contained
in the seventh secret, has been averted thanks to prayer and fasting. That
is why the Blessed Virgin continues to encourage prayer and fasting: You have
forgotten that through prayer and fasting you can avert wars and suspend the
laws of nature.
“After the first admonition, the
others will follow in a rather short time. Thus, people will have some time for
conversion. That interval will be a
period of grace and conversion. After
the visible sign appears, those who are still alive will have little time
for conversion. For that reason, the Blessed Virgin invites us to urgent
conversion and reconciliation. The invitation to prayer and penance is meant to
avert evil and war, but most of all to save souls.”
According to Mirjana, the events
predicted by the Blessed Virgin are near. By virtue of this experience, Mirjana
proclaims to the world: "Convert as quickly as possible. Open your hearts
to God."
In addition to this basic
message, Mirjana related an apparition she had in 1982 which we believe sheds
some light on some aspects of Church history. She spoke of an apparition in
which Satan appeared to her. Satan asked Mirjana to renounce the Madonna and
follow him. That way she could be happy in love and in life. He said that
following the Virgin, on the contrary, would only lead to suffering. Mirjana
rejected him, and immediately the Virgin arrived and Satan disappeared. Then
the Blessed Virgin gave her the following message, in substance: "Excuse
me for this, but you must realize that Satan exists. One day he appeared before
the throne of God and asked permission to submit the Church to a period of
trial. God gave him permission to try the Church for one century. This century
is under the power of the Devil, but when
the secrets confided to you come to pass, his power will be destroyed. Even
now he is beginning to lose his power and has become aggressive. He is
destroying marriages, creating division among priests and is responsible for
obsessions and murder. You must protect yourselves against these things through
fasting and prayer, especially community prayer. Carry
blessed objects with you. Put them in
your house, and restore the use of holy water.”
KRALJEVIC (1983) The Virgin tells the children: “I know that many
will not believe you, and that many who have an impassioned faith will cool off.
You remain firm, and motivate people to instant prayer, penance and conversion.
At the end, you will be happier.” (K56)
Messages approximately grouped on
Ecumenism (see annex#2): “In God
differences do not exist among his people; religion need not separate people.
Every person must be respected, despite his or her particular profession of
faith. God presides over all religions, as a king controls his subjects,
through his priests and ministers. The sole mediator of salvation is Jesus
Christ.” Do differences exist among the believers of different churches? (A question asked in reference to a certain
Protestant community.) “It is not equally efficacious to belong to or pray in
any church or community, because the Holy Spirit grants his power differently
among the churches and ministers. All believers do not pray the same way. It is
intentional that all apparitions are under the auspices of the Catholic
Church.” (K59)
To the seers: “When you will
suffer difficulties, and need something, come to me.” (K72).
“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.” (K86, and F1, 45).
“Faith cannot be alive without
prayer.” (K86)
“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.”
(K86)
For a Priest who questions: Is it
preferable to pray to you or to pray to Jesus?
“I beseech you, pray to Jesus! I am His Mother, and I intercede for you
with Him. But all prayers go to Jesus. I will help, I will pray, but everything
does not depend solely on me, but also on your strength, and the strength of
those who pray.” (K87)
With respect to the souls in
Purgatory: “These persons wait for your prayers and your sacrifices.” (K87)
“The most beautiful prayer is
the ’Creed.’" (K94)
“The most important thing, is to
believe.” (K94)
“All prayers are good, if they
are said with faith.” (K95)
“My Son wants to win all souls to
Him, but the Devil strives to obtain something. The Devil makes a great effort
to infiltrate among you, at all costs.” (K116)
JOURNAL OF JELENA: Questioned
on the similarity between the signs announced at Medjugorje, and the third
secret of Fatima, Jelena responds, "Toward these things the Gospa told us:
“Do not fear anything. You must forget what is behind you in your life. I only
want that from now on, you be new people. Do not fear anything when I am near
you. I love you.”
Conversation with Fr. Bonifacio
and Fr. Petar Ljubicic: “It does not suffice to pray. You must change your
life, your heart. Love the others, have love for others. Love what you do and
always think about Jesus and you will understand what is good, and what is bad.”
(Ibid)
FATHER BUBALO (1981): Vicka:
“At the very beginning, the Gospa tells us: ‘You may leave, but let little
Jakov stay with me.’” And Vicka adds: "Jakov is an extraordinary boy; the
Gospa knew it." (Bu52).
During the times of the first
apparitions: To Mirjana: “My Son struggles for each of you, but Satan fights
Him also. He prowls around you, sets traps for you. He tries to divide you, you
the seers, to plant discord among you; to confuse you so you will detest
yourselves, and will abandon yourselves to him.”
Vicka adds: "Our Lady has
said it to us on several occasions." (Bu71).
BOTTA-FRIGERIO (1984) “The world can only be saved through peace.
But it will only have peace in its meeting with God.” (Bo75).
“The world lives amidst very
strong tensions. It is on the edge of catastrophe.” (Bo75).
“I have come here because there
are many believers. I want to remain with you in order to convert many and to
bring peace to everyone. Begin by loving your enemies. Do not judge, do not
slander, and do not despise, but give only love. Bless your adversaries and
pray for them. I know well that you are
not capable of doing it; I advise you to pray each day at least five minutes to
the Sacred Heart, so that you can receive the gift of Divine Love, with which
you will be able to love your enemies.” (Bo75).
“It is necessary to convert
oneself to God, in order to obtain peace. Tell the whole world; tell it without
delay, that I ardently wish conversion. Be converted, do not wait. I will ask
my Son that He not chastise the world. Convert yourselves, renounce everything,
and be ready for everything. Do not go
in search of extraordinary ways, take rather, the Gospel and read it. There,
everything will be clear.” (Bo76).
“You only learn to pray, through
praying.” (Bo76).
“Offer your time to God and let
yourself be guided by the Holy Spirit. Then, your work will go well and you
will have free time. Those who abandon themselves to God do not have place in
their hearts for fear. The difficulties which you will face, will contribute to
your growth and to the glory of the Lord. For that, reject fear.” (Bo77).
“Prayer always leads to peace and
serenity. (Bo78, cf Bl298). No one is dispensed from fasting, except those who
are gravely ill. Prayer and works of charity cannot replace fasting. I recommend
to you in a special way, to attend Holy Mass every day” (Bo79).
“Mass represents the highest form
of prayer. You must be humble and respectful during Holy Mass, and prepare
yourself for it with care.” (Bl79, cf Bl 238).
“May the Holy Father announce
with courage, peace and love to the world. May He not consider Himself the
Father of Catholics, but of all mankind.”
(Bo80).
CASTELLA - LJUBIC (1984-85): Reported by Mirjana: “Tell the
faithful that I need their prayers, and prayers from all the people. It is
necessary to pray as much as possible and do penance because very few people
have been converted up until now There are many Christians who live like
pagans. There are always so few, true believers.” (C49, cf. Bl213).
To the priest who asked what they
should do: “Carry out well your responsibility, and do what the Church asks you
to do.” (C52).
“One day the Gospa reproached
Jakov for his behavior at school towards his friends: “You must love them all.” "I love them all. But they are so annoying
to me." “Then accept it as a
sacrifice, and offer it.” (C64).
A group of seminarians from
Zagreb and Djakovo, attended an apparition.
Maria: "The Gospa looked at each one of us, and told us with a
smile: "Tell them, that with prayer, one obtains everything.” (C68).
The Blessed Virgin received a
young nun with open arms, while she kept her hands joined before the others.
Questioned by Mirjana, she said: “I will take with me very soon, all those to
whom I extended my arms.” (C69).
To a nun who asked about her
brother, who had died in an accident: “I understand the question, answered the
Blessed Virgin. He died in the state of grace. He needs Masses and prayers.”
(C70).
Asked by the seers why her choice
had fallen upon them, the Blessed Virgin replied: “I do not choose the best.
Are you angry with my choice, my angels?” (C75).
Mirjana reports to a religious, a
close friend, this word from the Gospa: “The hour has come when the demon is
authorized to act with all his force and power. The present hour, is the hour
of Satan.” (C99).
“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.” (C123).
“I am anxious for people to know
what is happening in Medjugorje. Speak about it, so that all will be converted.”
(C134).
To Mirjana, who asks the Gospa on
her insistence in saying, “It presses me to. . . :” “When you will be in
Heaven, you will understand why I am so pressed.” (C214).
To the seers who ask regarding
the apparitions and their purpose: “Is it, after all, that I bore you?
Everything passes exactly according to God's plan. Have patience. Persevere in
prayer and in penance. Everything happens in its own time.” On the matter of a Catholic priest, confused
because of the cure of an Orthodox child:
“Tell this priest, tell everyone,
that it is you who is divided on earth. The Muslims and the Orthodox, for the
same reason as Catholics, are equal before my Son and me. You are all my
children. Certainly, all religions are not equal, but all men are equal before
God, as St. Paul says. It does not suffice to belong to the Catholic Church to
be saved, but it is necessary to respect the commandments of God in following
one's conscience.
Those who are not Catholics, are
no less creatures made in the image of God, and destined to rejoin someday, the
House of the Father. Salvation is available to everyone, without exception.
Only those who refuse God deliberately are condemned. To him, who has been
given little, little will be asked for. To whomever has been given much (to
Catholics), very much will be required. It is God alone, in His infinite
justice,Who determines the degree of responsibility and pronounces judgment.”
(C128).
FR. ROBERT FARICY (1985) On the subject of Christ: “I am
His Mother, and I intercede for you, near to Him.” (F2134).
TUTTO (1985) “Let the faithful meditate each
day on the life of Jesus, while praying the rosary.” (T43).
“Every prayer, which comes from
the heart, is agreeable to God.” (T58).
“You do not celebrate the
Eucharist, as you should. If you would know what grace, and what gifts you
receive, you would prepare yourselves for it each day, for an hour at least.
You should go to confession once a month. You should consecrate three days to
reconciliation, each month: the first Friday of the month, followed by
Saturday, and Sunday.” The parish at
Medjugorje had established an hour of adoration, before the Most Blessed
Sacrament, the first Friday of the month. On the Saturday which followed, [there
would take place] an hour of devotion before the cross, with prayers for
sinners. And on Sunday, the Holy Mass was followed by a meal of reconciliation.
(T58).
BLAIS (1986) “I do not have the right to
impose on anyone, what they should do. You have reason, and a will. You should,
after having prayed, reflect and decide.” (B137).
“Receive the peace of my Son.
Live it, and spread it.” (Bl90).
“Permit Jesus to perform great
works in you. The door of your heart, the lock is rusted. Permit Him to open
it. May it be open through your prayer, your fasting, your conversion.” (B1143).
Pray slowly, and meditate while
saying the prayers of the rosary. Take a quarter of an hour to recite: 5 Our
Father's, Hail Mary 's, and Glory Be's.” (Bl173).
I love you so much. And if you
love me, you will be able to feel it. I bless you in the name of the Most Holy
Trinity, and in my name. Remain in peace.” (Bl183).
“You will find everything in the
Gospels.” (Bl244).
“Let the word of God begin to
speak in your heart.” (Bl245).
Begin to love your enemies. Do
not judge or slander. Do not scorn. Do not curse. Only give your adversaries
love. Bless them, and pray for them. I know that you are not capable of doing
it, but I advise you to pray each day at least five minutes, to the Sacred
Heart, so that He can give you Divine love, with which you will be able to
love, even your enemies. (Bl301). (Another version of the message previously
shown in Botta.)
You can direct your prayers not
only to those who are already in Heaven, but also to those who are in
Purgatory, because with their prayer, they can help you to reach eternal
happiness.” (Bi 326).
“One must follow the authority of
the Church with certainty. Yet, before she expresses an opinion, it is
necessary to advance spiritually, because she will not be able to express a
judgment in a vacuum, but in a confirmation which presupposes growth of the
child. First comes birth, followed by Baptism, then Confirmation. The Church
comes to confirm him, who is born of God. We must walk and advance in the
spiritual life, affected by these messages. (Bl330).
MIRAVALLE (1986) Before December, 1983: “So many believers never pray. Have the people
pray! Faith cannot be alive without prayer.” (M 8).
I am not able to cure you. God
alone, can cure you. Pray! I will pray with you. Believe firmly, fast, do
penance. God comes to help each one. I am not God. I need your prayers and your
sacrifices to help me.” (M 8).
“You do not need a sign; you
yourselves must be a sign.” (M 9).
“Peace is necessary for prayer.
Peace should be present before prayer, and while one is praying. Prayer should,
of course, lead to peace and reflection.” (M 30).
“Why ask so many questions? The
answer is found in the Gospels.” (M 31).
To Jelena: “The subject on the certainties
of catastrophes comes from false prophets. They say, on such a day, at such an
hour, there will be a catastrophe. I have always said: Punishment will come
about, if the world is not converted. Call all mankind to conversion.
Everything depends on your conversion.” (M 31).
To Jelena: “When others cause you
some difficulty, do not defend it, rather, pray” (M 31).
To Jelena: “I desire that you be
a flower, which blossoms for Jesus at Christmas. A flower which does not cease
to bloom when Christmas has passed. I wish that you have a shepherd's, heart
for Jesus.” (M 31).
“Dear children, when someone
comes to you and asks you a favor, answer by giving. I find myself before so
many hearts which do not open themselves to me. Pray, so that the world willingly
wants to accept my love. (M 39).
Between June and December, 1984:
Dear children, the love of God
has not spread over all the earth. That is why, pray! (M 40).
Dear children, I wish that the
whole world become my children, but they do not want to. I want to give them
all things. That is why, pray! (M 40).
Dear children, I love you so
much. When you love me, you will be able to feel it. I bless you in the name of
the Most Holy Trinity, and in my name. Go in peace. (M 40).
BOA NOVA “These are my last apparitions to
mankind. With the events which are preparing themselves, and which are near,
the power which Satan still holds, will be withdrawn from him. The present
century has been under his power. Now that he is conscious of losing the
battle, he is becoming more aggressive. He attacks the family, separates
husband and wife. He creates divisions among the priests, and even gives
himself to physical attacks. Protect yourselves, above all through prayer,
through blessed sacred objects, through community prayer.” (BN 20, 10).
LATEST NEWS (1987)
“Love your Serbian, Orthodox and
Muslim brothers, and the atheists who persecute you.” (DN 2, 73). (Concerning
information from Bishop Franic.
“All your prayers touch me very
much, especially your daily rosary.” (DN 6, 15).
FR'S. TOMISLAV VLASIC AND SLAVKO BARBARIC (VB)
“The weekly information given by
Fr. Tomislav Vlasic and Fr. Slavko Barbaric, to Italian pilgrims, have been
edited, in four volumes which we have designated through the abbreviations: VB
1, VB 2, VB 3, VB 4.
Here, we re-group the messages,
which are not dated, in these four volumes. Each volume gives way to a
"limit date" as follows. The first gives some communication from May
24 to December 29, 1984. The second, January 4 to June25, 1985; the third from
July to December, 1985; and the fourth, from January 4, 1986, to January 8,
1987.”
VB 1 (1984)
“I've already said many times,
that peace in the world is in a state of crisis. Become again, brothers to one
another Pray and fast more, in order to be saved.” (Sept. 1983, VB 1, 15).
“Pray, fast, and let God act. If
you want to be very happy, lead a simple, humble life, pray very much, and do
not sink into problems. Let God resolve them. (message also in M 30). Peace
should follow your prayer. Often , prayer said in a loud voice keeps Jesus at a
distance, because men want to conquer with their own strength. Then there is no
more place for God. Prayers said in a loud voice are good, but they must come
from peace in the heart. Even joy and songs can hinder the rise of the groups,
if the people deliver themselves only to emotion.” (T. Vlasic, May 24, 1984;
collects these teachings as a rule of life, given by Our Lady.).
“When I tell you, pray, pray, do
not understand it only as an increase in quantity. What I want is to carry you
to a profound continuous desire of God.” (T. Vlasic, VB 1, 39).
“The most important thing is to
believe. That is, to open one's self to God; pray and fast.” (T. Vlasic, June
1,1984, VB 1, 41).
Response from Our Lady to two questions
from Tomislav Vlasic: "Have you come to purify the new renewal movements,
which are multiplying?" “It is exactly so.”
"How could Jesus pray all
night, without getting tired. What was His method?" “He had a great desire
for God, and for the salvation of souls. Prayer is a dialogue with God, a
meeting with the Gospel.”
"What do you say about
Oriental meditations?" (Zen, Transcendental meditation): “Why do you call
them 'meditations,' when it deals with human works? The true meditation is a
meeting with Jesus. When you discover joy, interior peace, you must know there
is only one God, and only one Mediator, Jesus Christ.” (VB 1, 45).
“Your days will not be the same
according to whether you pray, or you do not pray” (VB 1 51).
Responses to questions asked by
the seers at the request of Tomislav Vlasic:
“What do you tell the priests and
religious?” “Be strong in faith and
protect the faith of your people. Do
what the Church tells you.”
“Do you want to give a sign for
priests?” “Have them take the Gospel and
they will understand everything. (T. Vlasic, June 20, 1984. VB 1, 51).” “Go to the heart. Words are not sufficient.
Go to the heart.” (VB 1, 52).
In the past autumn (1983), Our
Lady said: “I would be happy for people, families, to pray a minimum of
half-an-hour, in the morning and in the evening.” “The people shook their heads at this,”
stated Fr. Vlasic.
But in the spring of 1984, Our
Lady said: “I know that in the parish and in all the parishes, you can pray
four hours a day, but you do not understand it yet because you live only for
your work. One does not live from work alone, but also from prayer.” As I objected to her: "If one asks so
much, people will go away." She replied:
Not even you understand. That
makes hardly a sixth of your day.” (T. Vlasic, July 31, 1984. VB 1, 55).
“You, do not think of wars, of
evil, of chastisements. If you think about evil, you are on the road where one
meets it. Your role is to accept Divine peace, to live it and spread it.” (VB
1, 61).
To Jelena: “Christians make a
mistake in considering the future because they think of wars and of evil. For a
Christian, there is only one attitude toward the future. It is hope of
salvation. (VB 1, 61).
Your responsibility is to accept
Divine peace, to live, and to spread it not through words, but through your
life. (Same communication of T. Vlasic Aug. 2, 1984. VB 1, 63).
To Jelena: “The only attitude of the Christian toward the
future is hope of salvation. Those who think only of wars, evils, punishment,
do not do well. If you think of evil,
punishment, wars, you are on the road to meeting them. Your responsibility is
to accept Divine peace, live it and spread it.” (A more ample transmission of
the word already cited in VB 1, 61. T. Vlasic, Aug. 12, 1984. VB 1, 81).
If you have not listened to my
messages, the day of joy will become for me, a day of sadness. (S. Barbaric,
Dec. 8, 1985. VB 1, 135).
VB 2 (1985)
To Ivan's prayer group: “Even the
little things, entrust them to me. Consecrate them to my mission.” (S. Barbaric, Mar. 2, 1985. VB 2,
p.40).
To the question: “How does one
behave before Satan?” “Fervent prayer,
humility, reciprocal love will prevent Satan from approaching you.”
To a question conveyed through
Tomislav Vlasic at the beginning of Lent, 1985: “What do you most wish for the
fast?”
The Gospa responds insisting on
something else: “Honesty, love, humility and sincerity will lead you to me.”
(T. Vlasic, Mar. 9, 1985. VB 2, 45).
“What should one do in the midst
of so many discussions and publications on Medjugorje?” “See! Now I am there,
in each family, in each home. I am everywhere because I love. Do the same. The
world lives from love.”
After having repeated a song
three times: “Excuse me for making you repeat, but I wish you to sing with the
heart. You must really do everything with the heart.” And afterwards, (the seers continue, quoted
by T. Vlasic) “She made us know this at the beginning of prayer,” “One has to be already prepared. If there are
some sins, one must pull them out, otherwise, one will not be able to enter
into prayer. If one has concerns, he
should submit them to God.” That same
evening she said, “Take off your
jackets. Here it is warm. Remember what Jesus said: Have faith. You must
abandon yourselves to God. (All that in preparation for prayer.). You must not preoccupy yourselves during
prayer. During prayer, you must not be preoccupied with your sins. Sins must
remain behind.” (Words at the beginning of Lent, at the end of Feb. or the
beginning of Mar. 1985, reported by T. Vlasic, VB 2, 66).
“Many come to pray, but do not
enter into prayer.” (T. Vlasic, Apr. 5,
1985. VB 2, 74).
“When you have entered into
prayer, then you are able to pray for God's plans, because when God is there,
he inspires your plans. Do not ask for
the blessing, just as you have done the last time. You asked for it and you did
not obtain it.” (Because it is not a magic thing, she crowns what God has
inspired in you in prayer, observes T. Vlasic, Apr. 5, 1985. VB 2, 75).
“Prayer must be enjoyment in God,
blossoming in God, be full of peace, be full of joy.”.
“Many Christians do not ever
enter into prayer. They arrive at the beginning, but they remain there. (T.
Vlasic, Apr. 10, 1985. VB 2, 107). (If
you enter into prayer after you have been relieved of all your concerns,
remorse, analysis), then you will be able to ask God to inspire your plans from
within. You will feel what God wants, (inside of you, yourself and your group),
and then ask for the blessing. (T. Vlasic, Apr. 10, 1985. VB 2, 112).
“Your work will not go well
without prayer in the morning. Pray then in the morning, and pray in the
evening. Understand that your work cannot be done well without prayer.”
(Message of autumn 1983, T. Vlasic, Apr. 29, 1985. VB 2, 137).
“Come early to church. Sometimes it is better not to come to Mass
than to come in a hurry and to return home in a hurry, (S. Barbaric, May
18,1985, VB 2, 147).
“These apparitions are the last
for humanity.” (T. Vlasic, May 31, 1985, VB 2, 165).
To Jelena, message of 1983: “Take
me seriously. When God comes among men, he does not come to joke, but to say
serious things. It is better to stay in
church and pray with faith than to gather together with onlookers near the
seers during an apparition.” (Which had then taken place in the presbytery).
Message to the prayer group which
had received many messages during Lent and was surprised not to receive any
more after Easter: “Thank you to all those who pray and feel my presence. I
regret that some individuals say the Gospa is no longer among us. Pray, and you
will feel that I am present.”
In a meeting of her prayer group,
Jelena saw the desert, and in the desert, a tree, and under the tree, where the
sun was shining. In this sun, she recognized Jesus Christ. The Gospa told her,
among other things: “To this group, many graces have been given, but you must
not reject them.” (T. Vlasic, June 15, 1985, VB 2, 18).
VB 3 (1986)
To Jelena's group, toward the
beginning of July 1985: “I cannot speak to you. Your hearts are closed.
You have not done what I told
you, I cannot speak to you. I cannot give you graces as long as you remain
closed.” (T.Vlasic, July 13, 1985, VB 3, 15).
To Jelena for her group: “Each of
you has a special gift which is your own, and can alone understand it
interiorly.” To Jelena's prayer group: “It
seems when you carry my messages, be on your guard that they are not lost.
Carry my messages with humility, in such a way that on seeing happiness in you,
persons will desire to be like you. Do not carry my messages to simply throw
them to others.” T. Vlasic, July 15,
1985 comments: "Don't go to the cities: Milan, Rome or Turin to cry: 'The Madonna has
appeared.' Have them understand it
through what you are."
In the middle of June, 1985,
Jelena saw a splendid pearl which divided itself, and each part glittered, then
it faded. And she heard this explanation: “Jelena, man's heart is like this
splendid pearl. When he belongs completely to the Lord, he shines even in the
darkness. But when he is divided, a little to Satan, a little to sin, a little
to everything, he fades and is no longer worth anything.” (S. Barbaric, Aug. 4,
1985, VB 3, 37).
To Jelena, during the week of
July 28th to August the 4th: “During these days, I wish that you consider this
idea: After so long and so much time, I have not met Jesus, my friend. After so
long and so much time, I have not encountered my Mother, Mary. In these days, I
want to encounter them.” (T. Vlasic, Aug. 5, 1985, VB 3, 39).
“Do not be afraid of Satan. That
isn't worth the trouble, because with a humble prayer, and an ardent love, one
can disarm him.” (S. Barbaric, Aug. 8, 1985, VB 3, 57).
Prayer given to Jelena for her
group: “My soul is full of love like the sea. My heart is full of peace like
the river. I am not a saint, but I am invited to be one.” (T. Vlasic, Sept. 10,
1985, VB 3, 97).
Against temptations of analysis,
which are temptations from the devil: “With respect to sin, it suffices to give
it serious consideration, and soon, move ahead and correct the sin. Your
humility must be proud (high minded). Your pride should be humble. If you have
received a gift from God, you must be proud but do not say that it is yours.
Say, rather, that it is God's.” (T. Vlasic, Sept. 10, 1985, VB 3, 98).
To Mirjana, in 1984 (Probably
Aug. - Sept.): “Every adult is capable of knowing God. The sin of the world
lies in this: It does not look for God.” (T. Vlasic, Sept. 10, 1985, VB 3, 98).
To Maria, during her retreat of
one week, beginning of September, in response to her question: “Have you
anything concrete for me? Yes. I give
you my love so that you can give it to others.” (S. Barbaric, Oct. 7, 1985, VB
3, 121).
The Gospa said with sadness: “Those
who say, 'I do not believe in God,' how
difficult it will be for them when they will approach the Throne of God and
hear the voice: ‘Enter into Hell.’” (T. Vlasic, Oct. 8, 1985, VB 3, 127).
To Jelena, three evenings in
succession, toward October 10th to 15th: “If you wanted to accept my love, you
would never sin.”
On the following evening (the
fourth day) , Jelena asks: “Why do you always repeat the same message? But I don't have anything else to say to you.”
And she cries. (T. Vlasic, Oct. 19, 1985, VB 3, 151).
“There are many who finish their
prayers, even without entering into them.” (ibid 3, 158).
A question from the pilgrims of
Milan to Jelena: “We have come to you, Dear Mother. When will you come to
Milan?” The Gospa's answer through
Jelena: “When you open your hearts to
me.” (T. Vlasic, Oct. 25, 1985, 3, 167).
Tomislav Vlasic, whom the Blessed
Virgin had entrusted with a responsibility through Jelena, asks through the
seer, Maria: “How should I do it?” “Do
not worry, I will help you. If you want
to be stronger than evil, and grow in goodness, then develop an active
conscience.” (T. Vlasic, Nov. 2, 1985, VB 3, 179).
To a prayer group, after an hour
in which prayer of petition had prevailed: “Have you forgotten that you are in
my hands?” (T. Vlasic, Nov. 16, 1985, VB 3, 201).
VB 4 (1987)
To Jelena and Marijana, a little
before February 25th: “Understand that you are nothing, incapable, really
nothing. It is the Father who will do everything.” (T. Vlasic, Feb. 25, 1986,
VB 4, 39).
To Jelena, for her prayer group,
after prayer and fasting: “I have listened to your prayer and yet you will not
receive what you have wished. You will receive other things because it is not
up to you to glorify yourself but to me to glorify myself in you.” (ibid VB 4,
39).
“Do not be afraid. Confide
yourself to the Father. Pray, until you are sure that He guides everything. In
difficulties, when you carry the cross, sing, be full of joy.” To a group who was praying for a person in
crisis:
“You cannot do anything. I can
change her. You must only love her. Do not create any barriers in her life,
because as long as there are barriers, the river foams and rises. Leave her
free, like the river. Do not build any more bridges because as long as one
builds bridges, the river is restricted and does not flow freely. Leave her
free to flow like the river flows.”
A month later the group,
frustrated in its prayer, asks: "But how is it that this girl (in Crisis)
does not change?"
Answer, after a long moment of
prayer: “Let her run like the river. Do not create any barriers. Do not build
any bridges. Consider well and see how many barriers you have already created,
how many bridges you have built. Be attentive not to close her. This young girl
is at the point of opening up. She has confidence in you. Be patient still.
Understand that you can do nothing. You must only love and leave everything to
me.”
To Jelena: “When people ask you
to speak about the apparition, say: 'Let us pray together to understand the
apparitions of the Gospa.'”
In the prayer group which found
the advice from the Gospa too rigid: “Why shut down the television? Why not
even read the newspaper? If you look at the programs, if you look at the
newspapers,your heads are filled with news, then there is no longer any place
for me in your hearts. Pray. Fast. Let God act! Pray for the gift of love, for
the gift of faith, for the gift of prayer, for the gift of fasting.” (T.
Vlasic, Apr. 17, 1986, VB 4, 63).
To Jelena, for her group: “I beg
you, destroy your house made of cardboard which you have built on desires. Thus
I will be able to act for you.” (T. Vlasic, Apr. 17, 1986, VB 4, 63).
To Maria , for her prayer group: “Dear
Children, seek to make your hearts happy through the means of prayer. Dear
Children, be the joy for all mankind, be the hope of mankind. You will only be
able to obtain it through the means of prayer. Pray, pray!” (T. Vlasic, May 3,
1986, VB 4, 82).
To the prayer group during the
week preceding May 3rd: “I give you the best that I can give anyone. I give
myself and my Son.”
To the group on March 25th, on
the Feast of the Annunciation: “Today, before God, I say my 'Fiat ' for all of
you. I repeat it: I say my 'Fiat ' for all of you. Dear Children, pray, so that in the whole
world may come the Kingdom of Love. How mankind would be happy if love reigned!”
To Jelena, during the autumn of
1983: “Dear Children, one lives not only from work, one lives also from prayer.”
Toward May 12th (at the beginning
of the Novena of Pentecost) to the prayer group: “You will be happy if you do
not judge yourselves according to your faults, but if you understand that in
your faults even graces are offered to you.” (T. Vlasic, May 18, 1986, VB 4,
93).
“Love. If you do not love, you
are not able to transmit the testimony. You are not able to witness, neither
for me, nor for Jesus.” (S. Barbaric, June 6, 1986, VB 4, 105).
“I wish for all of you to be the
reflection of Jesus. He will thus illuminate this unfaithful world which moves
in darkness.” (ibid VB 4, 105).
“Pray before the Cross. Special
graces come from the Cross. Consecrate yourselves to the Cross. Do not
blaspheme neither Jesus nor the Cross.” (S. Barbaric, June 20, 1986, VB 4,
109).
“You will have as many graces as
you want. That depends on you. You will have love when you want it, as long as
you want it. That depends on you.” (T. Vlasic, June 26, 1986, VB 4, 110).
To the prayer group (July 10,
1986), before giving her blessing, at the end of an evaluation of the group:
“I thank you for that. You have
done well, but do not forget. ...
basically, God's will is decisive.” (T. Vlasic, July 20, 1986, VB 4, 121).
“I wish only that for you the
Rosary become your life.” (T. Vlasic, Aug. 4, 1986, VB 4, 134).
“Read each Thursday the Gospel of
Matthew, where it is said: No one can serve two masters (...). You cannot serve
God and money.” (Mt. 6, 24-34. - T. Vlasic, Aug. 5, 1986, VB 4, 14).
To Jelena, for her group: “I wish
only that you would be happy, that you would be filled with joy, that you be
filled with peace and announce this joy.” (ibid).
To the prayer group: “If you
would abandon yourselves to me, you will not even feel the passage from this
life to the next life. You will begin to live the life of Heaven from this
earth.” (T. Vlasic, Aug, 7, 1986, VB 4, 142).
To Jelena, the beginning of
September 1986: “Today it is not words nor deeds which are important. The
important thing is only to pray, to remain in God.” (T. Vlasic, Sept. 9, 1986,
VB 4, 156).
“Many have begun to pray for
healing here at Medjugorje, but, when they have returned to their homes, they
abandon prayer, forget, and also lose many graces.” (S. Barbaric, Sept. 12,
1986 VB 4, 158).
Message of Jesus through Jelena: “I
am joyful, but my joy is not complete until you are filled with joy. You are
not yet filled with joy because you are not yet at the stage of understanding
my immense love.” (T. Vlasic, Oct. 8, 1986, VB 4, 167).
Answer from the Gospa through a
seer, to Tomislav Vlasic, who was confronted with problems dealing with truth:
"Should I write, answer these injustices, these lies?" “Do not waste
your time. Pray and love. You cannot even imagine how powerful God is.” (T.
Vlasic, Dec. 29, 1986, VB 4, 213).
To Vicka: “Do you want to offer
yourself, also, for the salvation of the world? I need your sacrifices.”
To a group from the parish of
Medjugorje: “Come at 11 o 'clock at night to the place of the apparitions
(...). Come at three o'clock in the
morning to pray at the place of the Apparition. Come at one o'clock in the morning to
Krizevac. Come and pray all night.” It is to Ivan's group that these messages
of nocturnal prayer were addressed on the hill of the first apparitions, or at
Krizevac. (T. Vlasic, Dec. 31, 1986, VB 4, 220).
Love, Jeanne
