Other Visionaries

Reports of other apparitions taking place in Hercegovina were being circulated. Some young people in the parish of Izbicno reported seeing Our Lady. The pastor of this parish came to Medjugorje and asked the Medjugorje visionaries to question Our Lady concerning all the signs in Hercegovina and Our Lady appearing in so many places. Our Lady responded:

“It is God who gives them. My children, have you not observed that faith began to extinguish itself? There are many who do not come to Church except through habit. It is necessary to awaken the faith. It is a gift from God. If it is necessary, I will appear in each home.”

Curious of these other visionaries, the Medjugorje visionaries asked Our Lady if they should go meet these visionaries of Izbicno. Our Lady told them no, it wasn’t Her wish. But their curiosity prevailed and they ignored Our Lady’s request. Our Lady then said to them, after they saw the seers from Izbicno:

“Did I not tell you not to come together with those children? I am your Mother, you must obey me.”

Our Lady did not wish for the two sets of visionaries to come together because they had two separate missions that were meant to stay separate. The seers of Izbicno were there to help awaken the faith of believers of their region. But the Medjugorje visionaries were entrusted with a plan for the whole of mankind.
