For Ivanka’s annual apparition, a group of about 20 people gathered in Ivanka’s home. In the middle of the apparition, Ivanka suddenly turned towards everyone in the room, though her eyes continued to be uplifted, fixed upon the face of Our Lady, and she said:
“Our Lady wishes for all present to kneel down.â€
After Our Lady ascended back to Heaven, Ivanka announced to the crowd that when Our Lady asked everyone to kneel down, She gave them a Special Blessing and said:
“The people here will be witnesses of the love of God.â€
She then told the group that Our Lady spoke of the third and fourth secrets. Among those present in the apparition that day were a Friend of Medugorje and his wife, from Alabama, and Cyril Auboyneau from Paris, France.
