The time of grace brings to us a time of conversion. While we have heard this so many times repeated through the years, it is an essential thing to remember during the days of this 39th anniversary.
(Medjugorje photo taken on Friday, May 23, 2008, 12:23 PM) – The smiling of face of Medjugorje visionary Vicka, while she prays over two priests in Medjugorje.
Back in 1986, when a Friend of Medjugorje was first getting involved with going to Medjugorje, he had taken several trips there from the United States. At the time it was very cheap to travel to Medjugorje. One day, he was standing outside the rectory in Medjugorje, thinking about what he had been hearing from several priests, who said that Medjugorje was just another Fatima, another Lourdes, and that Our Lady was not saying anything new, only repeating the Gospel. He thought about his business back home, which he needed to get back to. Maybe it was time to get back to his life. Then something remarkable happened:
[A Friend of Medjugorje] began to walk through the fields of Medjugorje towards Apparition Mountain. He grabbed hold of a few stalks of wheat that were ready for harvest, rubbed them between his hands, blew off the chaff and ate the wheat. It struck him that this was something the apostles had done with Jesus 2000 years ago. He then arrived at the house of one of the visionaries, Vicka, as she was speaking to several different language groups outside her house. He watched as she spoke something in Croatian and then heard the translators relay what she said to their groups in their various languages; from Croatian to Italian, Croatian to French, Croatian to English, and to other languages. Suddenly he saw a parallel of what was taking place before his eyes and Pentecost 2000 years ago when all heard Peter in their native tongues. The thought began to form in his heart that no, this was not just another Lourdes or Fatima. It was at that point he was moved towards the messages of Our Lady and discovered in the messages, that She spoke about a plan that She desired to be fulfilled through Medjugorje.
From A Friend of Medjugorje – Works
A Friend of Medjugorje has relayed to the Community that when he walked the fields rubbing the wheat and blowing the chaff, he thought, “This is the Bible!” These thoughts, leading him to the messages, placed a desire in his heart to know what “the plan” was, that Our Lady was speaking about. He read message after message, but was not seeing the plan. Then after several months of prayer, Our Lady revealed it, on January 25, 1987:
“…I want you to comprehend that God has chosen each one of you in order to use you in a great plan for the salvation of mankind…”
A Friend of Medjugorje received confirmation of what he had already decided, that Our Lady’s plan is what he wanted to spend the rest of his life doing. When we think about Our Lady’s words, “time of grace,” we cannot help but remember this story, knowing a Friend of Medjugorje’s walk towards the messages, and his understanding that Medjugorje is Biblical. And we live in this time, a Biblical time of grace.

How good is God on having Her Mother coming to the world for THE PLAN OF SALVATION to be completed, done, materialized in the whole planet. How big is that PLAN? We can not comprehend, even grasp a little of its richness. We are invited to participate in the sacrifice of Christ in the Golgotha. Is something very ,very serious so is needed a lot of fasting, prayer and a firm Faith to decide for God and His PLAN to reconcile and convert the whole world. We are trying hard but not hard enough. How important is to decide for action, for true commitment into daily life . Only following Our Lady´s messages could we some day get back the lost years in some way. Only following Her, with all our strength, could we recover from the deceptions of the world that had mislead us. Please ,we really mean it, pray for us that we can be born and grow as a community and be transformed into true apostols of LOVE…
Last night, talking to new Protestant friends, I brought up Medjugorje’s 39th year. We moved from why Mary is part of Christ’s redemption plan, to discussing current, “Signs of the Tmes”, we live in. Mentioning Woman of Revelations, I also included “Figs in Space”, as I believe satellites will fall as figs from shaken tree, in Bible, as objects in ancient skies, were “stars”, like planets called “Wandering Stars”, since no one knew what they were. Many topics were brought up, including Our Lady, giving us the 5 Stones against satan, while I explained satan was using fake demigods in Marvel super hero movies in preparation for the coming “Beast”, of Revelation & how there’s no coincidence the “Infinity Wars”, movies were all about “Six Stones”, which originally were called “Soul Gems”, in the comic books years ago. Throughout I provided many other examples of “This is the Bible”, using that very phrase, including mention of the coming Agrarian Time. Friend speaks of. All amazed!
Years ago, as LAN/WAN Specialist, I sold computer networks, and customized solutions, to NH’s Government Agencies . While working there, an Interim Govenor, requested I provide pricing for a voice to text dictation system. At the time, the most popular/powerful system , was “Dragon Dictate”. The price then for a single user was $50,000, so the Governor’s office declined to purchase . Currently, an even more powerful version of the same software is available for only $500, while there’s also a free version for cellphones. Looking at the Logos for versions 2 & 6 of the product, it’s curious how the 2 & 6, look like tongues of fire, perhaps just like those seen by Jesus’ Apostles, years ago, at Pentacost. Many times satan uses “Shades”, “Imitations”, & “Cheap Copies”, in his battles against us. Often he’ll offer an “Imposter Grace”, confounding many to choose a path, less than the one God wanted. To deceive satan doesn’t always offer something sinful, but of less grace instead.
