Our Lady’s Monthly Message
Tonight’s evening apparition to Marija was held in the small Adoration Chapel near the Church of St. James. It was here that Our Lady gave the monthly message to the world, on this special 26th anniversary of Her apparitions, June 25, 2007. After leaving the Adoration Chapel, Marija spoke to the founder of Caritas and said that Our Lady had given a very beautiful message this evening. Croatian Mass followed the Rosary and apparition, and then for the second evening in a row, five of the six visionaries gathered in the area of the altar to end the novena of prayers to Our Lady for the anniversary, as well as pray the 7,7,7 prayers. It was a very moving scene to see the original visionaries together again after all these years. Mirjana, Ivanka, Ivan, Marija and Jakov took turns praying the prayers. Vicka, who is still recovering from a back injury, was not able to be present. Tens of thousands of pilgrims, after Mass was finished, streamed through the fields and vineyards to attend Ivan’s prayer group where Our Lady appeared at 10:00 p.m.
Our Lady of Medjugorje’s June 25, 2007 Monthly Message to the World given through Marija:
“Dear children! Also today, with great joy in my heart, I call you to conversion. Little children, do not forget that you are all important in this great plan, which God leads through Medjugorje. God desires to convert the entire world and to call it to salvation and to the way towards Himself, who is the beginning and the end of every being. In a special way, little children, from the depth of my heart, I call you all to open yourselves to this great grace that God gives you through my presence here. I desire to thank you for the sacrifices and prayers. I am with you and I bless you all. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Ivanka’s Annual Apparition
Ivanka is pictured here at the church after having the apparition of Our Lady in her home. The excitement of waking up this morning knowing that she would be seeing Our Lady once again, ends with the bittersweet realization that she must wait another entire year before seeing Our Lady again.
The visionary Ivanka Elez received Our Lady in her home, for her annual apparition today, June 25th 2007. Ivanka’s last daily apparition was on May 7, 1985 and on that day, after Our Lady confided to her the 10th secret, She promised to appear to Ivanka every year on the anniversary of the apparitions, until her death.
Today’s apparition to Ivanka lasted 17 minutes. Ivanka’s husband and their three children were present for the apparition. Following is the description of the apparition from Ivanka:
“Our Lady remained with me for 17 minutes. She was joyful and spoke to me about Her life. Our Lady said:
‘Dear children, receive my motherly blessing.’ ”
Ivan’s Prayer Group Apparition
This picture was taken at 9:05 p.m. the night of June 25, 2007, less than an hour before Our Lady came in Her apparition to Ivan. She gave no message this night, but the apparition lasted a long time, in which She prayed over everyone gathered. Ivan ended the evening by encouraging everyone to live the message Our Lady had given to the world just hours earlier to Marija.
Ivan’s prayer group apparition took place on Apparition Mountain at 10:00 PM. Following is Ivan’s description of the apparition:
Tonight, when Our Lady came She was very, very happy. She came with three angels and greeted us by saying,
“Praised be Jesus, my dear little children.”
Our Lady then prayed a long time with Her hands extended over all of us and blessed us all with Her Motherly Blessing, and gave a blessing for all religious articles, Rosaries, everything that you brought for blessing. I then recommended all your intentions, petitions, all your families, and especially for all those who are sick. Then Our Lady continued to pray a long time with Her hands extended over all of us. I then prayed an Our Father and a Glory Be with Our Lady. And after finishing this prayer, Our Lady spoke to me, just for me, privately. And after She finished this conversation, Our Lady left saying
“Go in peace, my little children.”
This is tonight, important for meeting. You know Our Lady give message for all in the world through Marija. You need to live this message, this last message, Our Lady gave today.
