The Ten Secrets of Medjugorje So what are the ten secrets of Medjugore, as most of them seem to be shrouded in mystery? Well if you take the account of the visionaries from the outset, which began with all six seers having apparitions on a hill, known as Mount Podbrodo, on June 24th 1981. In these apparitions, Our Lady conferred to the visionaries that she has come to tell us that God exists, and asks us to spread the message of peace Pray, fasting and to go to confession at least once a month, and also read our Bibles, as well as receive the Eucharist daily where possible. Our Lady also told the visionary that before the final apparition takes place a visible sign would be left on Podbrodo or the hill of apparitions, as it is more commonly known. So that non-believers will convert. It is also clear that when this miracle takes place, those present that need healing will be cured. In a clear affirmation to the apparitions at Fatima in 1917 on August 25, 1991 Our Lady said "Dear Children! Today also I invite you to prayer, now as never before when my plan has begun to be realized. Satan is strong and wants to sweep away plans of peace and joy and make you think that my Son is not strong in his decisions. Therefore, I call all of you, dear children to pray and fast still more firmly. I invite you to realize through the secrets I began in Fatima may be fulfilled. I call you, dear children, to grasp the importance of my coming and the seriousness of the situation. I want to save all souls and present them to God. Therefore, let us pray that everything I have begun be fully realized. Thank you for having responded to my call." We are now approaching the 26th anniversary of those first apparitions and we know that three of the visionaries have received all ten of the secrets and no longer have daily apparitions Jakov Colo who was ten at the time and who is now 36 received the tenth secret on the 12th of September 1998 He now only receives messages annually this is the message given him on December 25th 1998. After the apparition, which began at 11.50 a.m. and lasted 12 minutes, Jakov wrote: "Our Lady came joyful. She greeted me, as always, with 'Praised be Jesus!' She spoke to me about the secrets and afterwards gave me this message: "Dear children! Today, on the birthday of my Son, my heart is filled with immeasurable joy, love and peace. As your mother, I desire for each of you to feel that same joy, peace and love in the heart. That is why do not be afraid to open your heart and to completely surrender yourself to Jesus, because only in this way can He enter into your heart and fill it with love, peace and joy. I bless you with my motherly blessing". Jakov prayed with his family. He prepared himself for the apparition with Confession and Holy Mass. After the apparition, he cried for a while. THE SEVENTH SECRET MITIGATEDIt is well documented that the seventh secret has been mitigated some years ago through fasting and prayer. And so this might suggest that prayer and fasting affect the ten secrets not in the order one would naturally expect. As the first three secrets are thought to be admonitions, and thereafter to occur the great visible sign on apparition hillApril 25, 1992 "Dear children! Today also I invite you to prayer. Only by prayer, and fasting, can war be stopped. Mirjana Dragicevic-Soldo who is now 42 received messages from June 24th 1981 till December 25th 1982. Mirjana is a mother of three she now receives a message on the 2nd of each month this has occurred since the 2nd of August 1987 she also receives an annual apparition on her birthday march 18th. Mirjana received the tenth secret on December 25th 1982 We know that before the visible sign that there will be three admonitions or warnings on earth We will be forewarned of these events as Mirjana will be a witness and tell Fr. Petar Ljubicic in Medjugorje 10 days before the secret occurs. Both will then fast and pray for one week and then Fr Ljubicic will tell the world three days before the secret transpires. It is also Mirjana who received a parchment from the Blessed Virgin Mary, which contains the ten secrets. But Mirjana safely assures us it is not possible for anyone to see what is written as even family members were at a loss, as it is of a supernatural origin and has been scientifically tested. It so happened that Mirjana was staying with her grandmother in Bijakovici, and how she would become the second to see the Blessed Mother that June summers day in 1981, and the first to receive all ten secrets. Our Lady has decided it is Mirjana who will pray for all unbelievers, those who have not felt Gods love, and this is indeed what occurs on the second of each month. Mirjana prays and is not aware when Our Lady will appear, only that she will. TO be continued…………. Next week |
