Friend of Medjugorje’s History with Our Lady
Besides the visionaries’ own homes, the homes of their family members and the various apparition sites in Medjugorje, it is doubtful that any one of them has had as many apparitions in one place as Marija (Pavlovic) Lunetti has had in the Bedroom of Apparitions at a Friend of Medjugorje’s home and in the Field of Apparitions adjacent to his home. From the beginning, it was clear to all present that Our Lady was not just “appearing to Marija because She appears to Marija wherever she goes.” From Her first apparitions in a Friend of Medjugorje’s home, She began giving messages when She had already stopped giving them daily in Medjugorje. Our Lady began a story with a Friend of Medjugorje, his wife and family in 1986 and it is still being written. She has appeared with Baby Jesus, three angels, five angels and countless angels when present with the Community. Our Lady has picked the time and the place for the apparitions.
The hundreds of entries below do not include the intimate moments with Our Lady where private questions were asked and answers were given. The timeline cannot possibly contain all the tears, suffering, persecutions, joys, smiles, laughter and happiness that a Friend of Medjugorje, his wife, family and the Community of Caritas have shared with Our Lady through Her apparitions to Marija. What it does show is the undeniable solid path the founder of Caritas and his wife, Annette, and the Community of Caritas have walked with Our Lady. To prayerfully read every entry below
and still have doubt about Our Lady’s plan through a Friend of Medjugorje and the Mission and Community of Caritas, would be to doubt that stars in the night sky exist. From the very beginning of his experiences with Our Lady in Her apparitions, a Friend of Medjugorje promised Our Lady that in every apparition he was able to attend, he would bring thousands of souls with him. He meant by this that he would be the eyes and heart for all those who could not be in the apparition. He would not be silent. He would always convey what She allowed him to see. This is what led him to begin writing of his experiences with Our Lady. Perhaps this is one of the reasons Our Lady comes so often to Caritas, because of a Friend of Medjugorje’s desire is to bring hearts to Our Lady so that they can experience Her love as he has for so many years. Our Lady said to Jelena, the interior locutionist, on April 20, 1985:
The timeline below is presented with a humble pride in what Our Lady has done through a Friend of Medjugorje and the Community of Caritas.
