Mirjana, whose face was full of pain through the apparition, related afterwards,
“I have never said anything before, but are you aware, brothers, that the Mother of God was with us? Each of us should ask himself: ‘Are you worthy of this?’ I am saying this because it is difficult for me to see Her in pain, because each of us is seeking a miracle, but does not want to work a miracle in himself.”
When Mirjana was asked to explain what prompted her to say these words, she said through the translator,
“I don’t know what happened to me, because I never did that. After thirty years, that was the first time I said something. And it’s a little hard for me to talk about it. That is still kind of fresh. I’m sorry that people do not comprehend what is important. But people are looking for miracles and not what is the most important – miracle within oneself. To come to know the love of God. Because you waste your time. And the tears in Our Lady’s eyes are because of you. And how come you do not comprehend? And that pain that I was looking at her like that, I simply had to say something. Because she has so much love, patience. And we are so deaf. That caused me so much pain I had to say something.”
