Mirjana relayed on this date to Fr. Vlasic that she had had an apparition in which satan appeared to her. This apparition was sometime earlier in 1982. In the apparition, satan asked Mirjana to renounce Our Lady and follow him. If she did as he asked, he would make her happy in love and life. He warned her that following Our Lady would only lead to suffering. satan came to Mirjana in the form of an attractive young man. Looking into his eyes, however, filled her with great fear. At the same time, Mirjana felt a power that was drawing her to him. She cried out to Our Lady and satan instantly disappeared. Our Lady then appeared and said to Mirjana:
“Excuse me for this, but you must realize that satan exists. One day he appeared before the throne of God and asked permission to submit the Church to a period of trial. God gave him permission to try the Church for one century. This century is under the power of the devil, but when the secrets confided to you come to pass, his power will be destroyed. Even now he is beginning to lose his power and has become aggressive. He is destroying marriages, creating division among priests and is responsible for obsessions and murder. You must protect yourselves against these things through fasting and prayer, especially community prayer. Carry blessed objects with you. Put them in your house, and restore the use of holy water.â€
