Queen of Peace
"I Am Queen of Peace"
September
1, 1981
The
visionaries ask if there will be a Mass on Mt. Krizevac. "Yes, my
angels."
Jakov
asks if a trap is being set around the church. "There's nothing
at
all. Have the people pray and remain in church as long as
possible."
Ivan
prayed with Our Lady so that Jesus would help him in his
vocation.
Our Lady said: "Go in the peace of God. Do not be afraid. I
am
close to you and I will watch over you."
September
2, 1981
Vicka
asked about a young person who hanged himself. "Satan took hold
of
him. This young man should not have done that. The Devil tries to
reign
over the people. He takes everything into his hands, but the
force
of God is more powerful, and God will conquer."
Ivan
wants to know how his friends and he will do in seminary. "You
are,
and you will always be my children. You have followed the path of
Jesus.
No one will stop you from propagating the faith in Jesus. One
must
believe strongly."
September
3, 1981
Jakov
asked when the sign would be announced. "Again, a little
patience."
September
4, 1981
Ivanka
and Marija are concerned that they will not have enough time to
pray
because they are only home on Saturdays and Sundays and far away
at
school during the week. (Marija stays in Mostar with relatives.)
"It
is enough for you to pray. Come here on Saturdays and Sundays. I
will
appear to all of you."
Ivan
asks when Our Lady will leave the sign. "The sign will be given
at
the end of the apparitions."
Ivan
inquires when that will be. "You are impatient, my angels. Go in
the
peace of God."
September
5, 1981
"Praise
be Jesus and Mary. Go in the peace of God, my angel. May the
blessing
of God accompany you. Amen. Good-bye."
September
6, 1981
"Pray
especially on Sunday, so that the great sign, the gift of God
may
come. Pray with fervor and constancy so that God may have mercy on
His
great children. Go in peace, my angel. May the blessing of God
accompany
you. Amen. Good-bye."
September
7, 1981
"Be
converted all of you who are still there. The sign will come when
you
will be converted."
September
8, 1981 Feast of the Nativity Of The Virgin
"I
ask only to pray with fervor. Prayer must become a part of your
daily
life to permit the true faith to take root."
Jakov
wishes Our lady a happy birthday. "For me it is a beautiful day.
With
respect to you, persevere in the faith and in prayer. Do not be
afraid.
Remain in joy. It is my desire. Let joy appear on your faces.
I
will continue to protect Father Jozo."
September
10, 1981
Ivan
reports that after praying beautiful prayers with a feeling from
the
heart filled with love and joy Our Lady says: "Go in the peace of
God,
my angel. Amen. Good-bye."
September
13, 1981
The
Virgin came near the image of Jesus after some seminary students
came
from confession. "This is your Father*, my angel. Go in the peace
of
God, my angels."
*
Many known mystics referred, of course, to Jesus as our Brother but
in
some rare occasions also as our Father. This is theologically
right,
if unusual..
September
14, 1981
Our
Lady told Vicka: "Stay here so that Jakov will not be alone.
Persevere,
both of you, with patience. You will be rewarded."
September
15, 1981
"If
the people are not converted very soon, bad things will happen to
them."
September
16, 1981
"The
militia will not stay here a long time. I will leave the sign. Be
patient
still. Don't pray for yourselves. You have been rewarded. Pray
for
others."
September
17, 1981
Concerning
someone ill. "He will die very soon."
To
the visionaries: "Persevere and you will be rewarded."
September
20, 1981
To
Vicka and Jakov: "Do not be lax in your prayers. I ask both of you
to
fast for a week on bread and water."
September
30, 1981
To
Vicka and Jakov: "Don't ask useless questions dictated by
curiosity.
The most important thing is to pray, my angels."
October
1, 1981
Are
all religions the same? "Members of all faiths are equal before
God.
God rules over each faith just like a sovereign over his kingdom.
In
the world, all religions are not the same because all people have
not
complied with the commandments of God. They reject and disparage
them."
Are
all churches the same? "In some, the strength of prayer to God is
greater,
in others, smaller. That depends on the priests who motivate
others
to pray. It depends also on the power which they have."
Why
do You appear to us so often and to others who do not follow God's
path?*
"I appear to you often and in every place. To others, I appear
from
time to time briefly. They do not yet follow the way of God
completely.
They are not aware of the gift which He has made them.
That,
no one deserves. with time, they also will come to follow the
right
way."
*
This must be about other apparitions in Hercegovina.
October
6, 1981
"The
evening Mass must be kept permanently. The Mass of the sick must
be
celebrated on a specific day, at a time which is most convenient.
Father
Tomislav must begin with the prayer group. It is very
necessary.
Have Father Tomislav pray with fervor."
October
7, 1981
In
answer to the question whether there are other intermediaries,
besides
Jesus, between God and Man? "There is only one mediator
between
God and man, and it is Jesus Christ."
In
answer to Father Tomislav regarding founding a community like that
of
Saint Francis of Assisi: "God has chosen Saint Francis as His
elected
one. It would be good to imitate his life. In the meantime, we
must
realize what God orders us to do."
October
8, 1981
Our
Lady has scolded Marija about missing Mass and staying with her
friends.
"You would have done better to attend Mass rather than to
satisfy
human curiosity."
October
10, 1981
"It
is up to you to pray and to persevere. I have made promises to
you;
also be without anxiety. Faith will not know how to be alive
without
prayer. Pray more."
October
11, 1981
The
visionaries ask about an old man who disappeared. "Tomo Lovic is
dead."
October
12, 1981
Where
is Paradise and the Kingdom of God? "In Heaven."
Our
Lady is asked if she is the Mother of God and if She went to
heaven
before or after Her death. "I am the Mother of God and the
Queen
of Peace. I went to Heaven before death."
When
will the sign be left? "I will not yet leave the sign. I shall
continue
to appear. Father Jozo sends you greetings. He is
experiencing
difficulties, but he will resist, because he knows why he
is
suffering."
October
17, 1981
On
the sign: "It is mine to realize the promise. With respect to the
faithful,
have them pray and believe firmly."
October
19, 1981
"Pray
for Father Jozo and fast tomorrow on bread and water. The you
will
fast for a whole week on bread and water. Pray, my angels. Now I
will
show you Father Jozo.
She
shows them a vision of Father Jozo in prison and tells them not to
fear
for him because everything will work out fine.
On
Marinko, the man who protected the visionaries: "There are a few
similar
faithful. He's made a sufficient number of sacrifices for
Jozo.
He underwent many torments and sufferings."
To
Marinko personally: "Continue, and do not let anyone take the faith
away
from you."
October
20, 1981
Vicka
asked Our Lady to intercede for Father Jozo during his trial and
even
to strike someone to stop the trial. Our Lady sings with the
visionaries:
"Jesus Christ in Your Name."
After
the song was completed, Our Lady said: "Go in the peace of God."
October
21, 1981
Because
Vicka is concerned about Fr. Jozo's sentencing and knows that
Our
Lady is not motivated by vengeance, she begs Her to intercede that
the
people involved be reasonable and impartial. "Jozo looks well and
he
greets you warmly. Do not fear for Jozo. He is a saint. I have
already
told you. Sentence will not be pronounced this evening. Do not
be
afraid, he will not be condemned to a severe punishment. Pray only,
because
Jozo asks from you prayer and perseverance. Do not be afraid
because
I am with you."
October
22, 1981
"Jozo
has been sentenced. Let us go to church to pray."
The
visionaries tell Our Lady they are saddened because of Father
Jozo.
"You should rejoice!"
The
visionaries ask if the whiteness of the cross is a supernatural
phenomenon.
"Yes, I confirm it."
Many
saw the cross transform itself into a light and then into a
silhouette
of Our Lady. "All of these signs are designed to strengthen
your
faith until I leave you the visible and permanent sign."
October
25, 1981
The
visionaries asked Our Lady about the great light three girls saw
on
their way home from Mass. Within the light, they saw fifteen
figures.
"It was a supernatural phenomenon. I was among the saints."
October
26, 1981
"Praise
be Jesus. You are not to ask me any more questions on the
subject
of the sign. Do not be afraid, it will surely appear. I carry
out
my promises. As far as you are concerned, pray, persevere in
prayer."
October
28, 1981
The
visionaries ask if the Gospa appeared at Krizevac the day before
for
thirty minutes. "Yes, didn't you see me?"
Regarding
the fire that hundreds of people saw that burned but did not
consume
anything. "The fire, seen by the faithful, was of a
supernatural
character. It is one of the signs, a forerunner of the
great
sign."
October
29, 1981
"You,
my angels, be on your guard. There is enough mendacious news
which
people are spreading. Of course, I will show you my mercy. Be a
little
patient. Pray!"
October
30, 1981
Jakov
and Vicka questioned Our Lady about a sealed envelope which an
official
showed them wishing to trick them. "Do not respond to
anything.
It is a bad trick which they are playing on you. They have
already
given so much false news. Do not believe them. Continue to
pray
and to suffer! I will make the power of love appear."
The
visionaries asked Our Lady when should Christmas Mass be
celebrated.
"Have them celebrate it at midnight. Pray! Go in the peace
of
God."
To
Ivanka: "Pray more. The others are praying and suffering more than
you."
To
the visionaries: "Tell the young people not to allow themselves to
be
distracted from the true way. Let them remain faithful to their
religion."
October
31, 1981
From
Vicka's diary we learn that Mirjana has had daily apparitions in
Sarajevo
where she is a student at a professional school. Our Lady
counsels
Mirjana as a wise mother would, telling her two times who to
trust,
who to distrust, and how to respond to those who rebuke her and
attack
God.
Our
Lady knows and advised Mirjana to avoid a friend who wants her to
get
involved with drugs. Our lady suggested that she answer questions
when
that would be helpful and to remain quiet when that would be more
beneficial.
Our Lady shared Her joy over the five visionaries being
together
and tells them that Father Jozo would not be in prison more
than
four years.
Regarding
Danny Ljolje, Our Lady said: "There is a lot of deception
and
erroneous information."
After
showing the visionaries a part of paradise and telling them not
to
be afraid, Our lady said: "All those who are faithful to God will
have
that."
October,
1981
Concerning
the conflict between the Franciscans and the Bishop of
Mostar:
"It is going to find a solution. We must have patience and
pray."
Regarding
Poland: "There will be great conflicts, but in the end, the
just
will take over."
Regarding
Russia: "The Russian people will be the people who will
glorify
God the most. The West has made civilization progress, but
without
God, as if they were their own creators."
November
1, 1981
"Be
persevering! Pray! Many people are beginning to convert."
November
2, 1981
The
visionaries questioned the Gospa about Her reasons for showing
them
paradise some days earlier. "I did that so you could see the
happiness
which awaits those who love God."
Jesus
then appears to them with injuries covering His body and wearing
a
crown of thorns. "Do not be afraid. It is my Son. See how He has
been
martyred. In spite of all, He was joyful and He endured all with
patience."
Then
Jesus says: "Look at me. How I have been injured and martyred! In
spite
of all, I have gained the victory. You also, my angels, be
persevering
in your faith and pray so that you may overcome."
November
3, 1981
The
song, 'Come, Come to us Lord', was begun by Our Lady and the
visionaries
joined in with her. "I am often at Krizevac, at the foot
of
the cross, to pray there. Now I pray to my Son to forgive the world
its
sins. The world has begun to convert."
November
6, 1981
During
this apparition, Our Lady disappears and the visionaries see a
terrifying
vision of Hell. Then Our Lady reappears and says: "Do not
be
afraid! I have shown you Hell so that you may know the state of
those
who are there."
November
8, 1981
Our
Lady appears kissing and lovingly embracing a picture of John Paul
II.
"He is your father, the spiritual father of all. It is necessary
to
pray for him." One account tells of Our Lady picking up the picture
in
the room.
The
visionaries have a vision of Father Jozo in prison. "Have you seen
how
Father Jozo struggles for God?"
November
9, 1981
The
militia passes by the room where Our Lady was about to appear. "Do
not
be afraid of the militia. Do not provoke anybody. Be polite with
everybody."
November
10, 1981
"Do
not give in. Keep your faith. I will accompany you at every step."
November
13, 1981
"Praise
be Jesus!"
Our
Lady showed the visionaries a beautiful landscape with the Baby
Jesus
walking there. The visionaries were not able to recognize Him.
"It
is Jesus. On my arrival and when I depart, always sing the song,
'Come,
Come to us O Lord'."
November
15, 1981
This
apparition was to take place in Fr. Jozo's room but Our Lady
appeared
later in the Church and said someone had placed (hidden)
listening
devices in the room. She relates: "The world is on the point
of
receiving great favors from me and my Son. May the world keep a
strong
confidence."
November
16, 1981
"The
devil is trying to conquer us. Do not permit him. Keep the faith,
fast,
and pray. I will be with you at every step."
Her
words to Vicka and Jakov: "Persevere with confidence in prayer and
in
faith."
November
22, 1981
The
Gospa explains the cross, the heart, and the sun to the
visionaries.
"These are the signs of salvation: The cross is a sign of
mercy,
just like the heart. The sun is the source of light, which
enlightens
us."
Again
a shining silhouette takes the place of the cross on Krizevac.
The
visionaries asked the Blessed Virgin if it was She. "Why do you
ask
me, my angels? Have you not seen me? The world must find salvation
while
there is time. Let it pray with fervor. May it have the spirit
of
faith."
November
23, 1981
Our
Lady was indescribable and beautiful light radiated, flowed,
shined,
and sparkled around Her. "The people have begun to convert.
Keep
a solid faith. I need your prayers."
November
26, 1981
The
visionaries asked the Gospa questions about the sick: "Have strong
faith,
pray, and fast and they will be cured. Be confident and rest in
joy.
Go in the peace of God. Be patient and pray for the cure. Good-
bye,
my dear angels."
November
28, 1981
All
but Ivan were present. Vicka relates, "We all felt a profound
peace
about and within us. Our Lady looked at us with a beautiful
sweetness."
"Ah,
it is so beautiful to see you all together! Go in the peace of
God,
my angels. Good-bye."
November
29, 1981
"It
is necessary for the world to be saved while there is still time,
for
it to pray strongly, and for it to have the spirit of faith."
November
1981
Vicka
warns that this message is not just for the visionaries but for
all.
"The Devil tries to impose his power on you, but you must remain
strong
and persevere in your faith. You must pray and fast. I will
always
be close to you."
December
2, 1981
The
visionaries asked about a young man who suddenly had a memory loss
and
could no longer learn anything: "It is necessary to hospitalize
him."
The
visionaries asked more questions. "It is not necessary to ask
questions
on every subject."
December
3, 1981
"Pray
and persevere through prayer."
December
6, 1981
"Be
strong and persevering. My dear angels, go in the peace of God."
December
7, 1981
Our
Lady looked at the crowds of people. "The people are converting.
It
is true, but not yet all. Pray and persist in prayers."
After
an apparition at Jakov's home, the letters "MIR LJUDIMA" (Peace
to
the people) were on the wall in gold.
December
8, 1981 Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Our
Lady answers questions the visionaries have about their futures.
"I
would like all of you to become priests and religious, but only if
you
desire it. You are free. It is up to you to choose. If you are
experiencing
difficulties or if you need something, come to me. If you
do
not have the strength to fast on bread and water, you can give up a
number
of things. It would be a good thing to give up television,
because
after seeing some programs, you are distracted and unable to
pray.
You can give up alcohol, cigarettes, and other pleasures. You
yourselves
know what you have to do."
Our
Lady then profoundly kneels down, serious with Her hands extended.
She
prays to Jesus: "My beloved Son, I beseech you to be willing to
forgive
the world its great sin through which it offends you."
December
9, 1981
While
we were praying, Our Lady intervened: "Oh my Son Jesus, forgive
these
sins; there are so many of them!"
We
stopped and became silent. "Continue to pray, because prayer is the
salvation
of the people."
December
11, 1981
Vicka
asked the Gospa to look after her parents in Germany "I promise
to
protect them. Everything will go well."
December
12, 1981
Our
Lady told the visionaries She was happy because they would all be
together
during vacation. "Very soon you will all be united. You will
be
able to have a beautiful time together."
December
16, 1981
"Kneel
down, my children, and pray."
December
18, 1981
Our
Lady sings "Jesus Christ in Your Name" and says:
"Come
on, sing more joyfully. Why are you so pensive?"
She
then began the song, "The Queen of the Holy Rosary", before
leaving.
December
21, 1981
"Be
on your guard, my children. Prepare yourselves for difficult days.
All
kinds of people will come here."
December
24, 1981
"Celebrate
the days which are coming. Rejoice with my Son! Love your
neighbor.
May harmony reign among you."
December
25, 1981 Christmas
The
visionaries see Baby Jesus. "Love one another, my children. You
are
brothers and sisters. Don't argue among yourselves. Give glory to
God,
glorify Him and sing, my angels."
December
30, 1981
Our
Lady sings "The Queen of the Holy Rosary"
