Our Lady appeared to visionary, Ivan, on top of Apparition Mountain at a little after 10:00 p.m. on January 1, 2011. This year would usher in the 30th anniversary of Our Lady’s apparitions. Our Lady was filled with joy when She said these words through Ivan:
“…also today the Mother calls you with joy—pray, pray, pray. Pray, dear children, and help me realize my plans which I desire to realize with the world and with this parish…â€
Ivan had a private conversation with Our Lady after the message was given. This was ten years after Our Lady had given Marija the message stating, “Now when satan is unchained,” as the New Year was dawning, and the new millennium. Today, ten years later, on January 1, 2011, Our Lady speaks of Her own plans for the world through the parish of Medjugorje, plans that She is bringing towards fulfillment that is leading the world back to Her Son.
