Our Lady Speaks about the Secrets

Though Our Lady had given Mirjana all ten secrets by December 25, 1982, She periodically would speak about certain secrets individually with each of the visionaries. Today, Our Lady showed Mirjana the first secret. Our Lady said:

“It is the upheaval of a region of the world. In the world there are so many sins. What can I do, if you do not help me. Remember that I love you. God does not have a hard heart. Look around you and see what men do, then you will no longer say that God has a hard heart. How many people come to church, to the house of God, with respect, a strong faith, and love God? Very few! Here you have a time of grace and conversion. It is necessary to use it well.”

Our Lady asked Mirjana to choose a priest to whom she will reveal the secrets to the world. Mirjana chose Fr. Petar Ljubicic, a Croatian priest who worked with the youth. Ten days before the first secret is to be revealed, Fr. Petar will be given a parchment containing the ten secrets. This parchment was given to Mirjana by Our Lady. When Fr. Petar receives the parchment, he will only be able to read the first secret. During the 10 days, Fr. Petar is to spend the first seven days in fasting and prayer. Three days before the event takes place, he is to announce it to the world. At the proper time, he will be able to see and read the second secret, and then the third, etc., according to the schedule of Heaven. In this October 25, 1985 apparition, Our Lady spoke of Fr. Petar, saying:

“Pray very much for Father Petar, to whom I send a Special Blessing.”

Our Lady then gave these reassuring words:

“I am a Mother, that is why I come. You must not fear for I am here.”
