ANNUAL APPARITION OF OUR LADY TO IVANKA ON JUNE 25TH, 2021 Ivanka had the apparition in her family home and it lasted 5 minutes (6:41 pm to 6:46 pm). Only Ivanka's family was present. After the apparition, the visionary Ivanka said: "Our Lady gave the following message: 'Little children I am in need of your prayers. Pray,pray, pray.'
Message, 25. June 2021 “Dear children! My heart is joyful because through these years I see your love and openness to my call. Today I am calling all of you: pray with me for peace and freedom, because Satan is strong and by his deception, wants to lead away all the more hearts from my motherly heart. That is why decide for God so that it may be good for you on the earth which God gave you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Medjugorje Strange Events - Drama on Apparition Hill.The possessed woman causes a stir. Please pray Jul 14, 2021 Mystic post
excerpts from Sister Emmanuel's July report https://sremmanuel.org/newsletter/sr-emmanuels-july-report-2021/ of the Children of Medjugorje group On the evening of the message, Marija is often interviewed on Radio Maria Italy by Father Livio, on a program that has many listeners. Here are some excerpts from the interview broadcast during the evening of June 25th. For the first time in 40 years, Our Lady is inviting us to pray for freedom. Father Livio asked Marija how she sees this new request from Mary, because in the past she often asked us to pray for peace. Marija: "I experienced communism. In these times of the pandemic, reading the newspapers and looking at the news, I have the feeling that a dictatorship is taking hold in many countries. In Argentina, for instance, no one can enter or leave. There is an evil dictatorship. Our Gospa tells us, "Pray with me for peace and freedom, for Satan is strong, and with his deceptions he wants to lead away all the more hearts from my motherly Heart.” I believe that in this moment, they want to take away our freedom through these satanic plans. Under the pretext of not offending the sensibilities of others, we are forbidden to talk about our religion and to bear witness to our faith. Under the pretext of not offending... "That is why I believe that the Madonna is building a new world. It is wonderful to see so many hands outstretched out of love and so many people who have changed their lives, having been touched in their hearts by the Blessed Mother and by God. Many people got lost, but many others have found themselves. For us in Medjugorje, this period amounted to a pause, a moment of rest and prayer. I believe that Medjugorje will now come back to life, and become stronger than before, because here Mary is still appearing, calling us, rejoicing with us. She is preparing a major plan, much bigger than we think. "Tonight, the Madonna prayed in Aramaic, her mother tongue, and we know that every time she prays, that prayer is really intense. We felt like we were in Heaven. And this Paradise is what we want to pass on to all of you as well. By her presence, Mary carries us up to Heaven. She looks at us with the eyes of Heaven, a gaze of eternity, where she desires to take us all. Despite the suffering, we are inhabited by great joy. This morning I spoke with Vicka, who is not well. Mirjana is not doing well either... "Tonight, we were overwhelmed with emotion when we saw so many people, so many hearts singing and praying on their knees. I felt like I had gone back to the beginnings of the apparitions, but with a larger number of people. No-one expected to see so many pilgrims. "There was this group of young people, and not so young people, in love with the Gospa, who, every morning at 5 o'clock, and for a year, went to pray on Apparition Hill in the rain, the cold, the frost, the wind. This morning, they decided that as of tomorrow and for the whole year, they would keep going up to pray on the Hill. This makes me deeply happy, because I know that when we pray for the intentions of Our Lady, she gives it back to us a hundredfold. "Tonight, the Madonna had such joy in her eyes, in her mouth, in her expression! Such tenderness! The veil that covered her head was so royal, so beautiful: such dignity! And her sweetness! There are no words to describe it. We can never forget her presence in our midst.”
from the Saint James parish website medjugorje.hr and translated into English This year's 32nd Youth Festival in Medjugorje will be held from August 1st to August 6th with the motto "What good must I do?" (Mt 19: 16) The program of this year's, unlike last year's, Mladifest (Youth festival) consists of a morning and afternoon program (prayer, song with international orchestra and choir, catechesis, testimonies) and an evening program (rosary, Eucharist, adoration, prayer with candles, prayer in front of the cross, feature film of the Cenacolo community...). Again this year, a large number of church dignitaries are expected, as confirmed by the parish priest of Medjugorje, Fr. Marinko Šakota. Mass celebrations at Mladifest will be led by: Cardinal Robert Sarah, Apostolic Nuncio in BiH Archbishop Luigi Pezzuto, Archbishop Tadeusz Wojda, Bishop Guido Gallese and Fr. Miljenko Šteko, Provincial of the Herzegovinian Franciscan Province. "The arrival of Cardinal Sarah and also Archbishops and Bishops at Mladifest is a great event and a great joy for all of us. Young people are happy to see that shepherds are with them, and shepherds are happy to see so many young people praying and celebrating the Lord," said Fr. Marinko Šakota, who has no expectations regarding the number of young people who will be at this year's Mladifest, adding that "as many as come, everyone is welcome". The parish priest of Medjugorje, Fr. Marinko Šakota, once again brought to the young people what is most important at Mladifest. "Mladifest in Medjugorje is a truly special, truly amazing experience of faith and prayer. Everything that happens at this prayer meeting - starting with the presentation of nations, the prayer of the Rosary on Podbrdo, morning prayers, catecheses, testimonies, choirs and orchestras, volunteers, evening prayer program, rosary, Eucharist, adoration, prayer with candles, processions with our Lady's statue, performances of the Cenacolo community, mission and farewell and at the end of the Eucharist on Križevac at 5 o'clock in the morning - all these events are of such a nature that they elevate and excite the soul, feed it with healthy spiritual food, fill it with some special peace and some special joy, and give encouragement and a strong incentive to continue living faith and prayer, walking with Our Lady and with Jesus in their daily lives. It is truly amazing how life awakens in so many young people during Mladifest, there are seeds of love and kindness, seeds of joy and how some mysterious peace enters their hearts. It is an indescribable feeling as the faces of young people are viewed and perceived as they feel loved and accepted and that they too love God, Jesus, Mary, prayer, Eucharist, confession, adoration. It is difficult to express in words that peace that is felt in the air, that anticipation, that listening that reigns in the prayer space in front of the outer altar! And the most beautiful and amazing thing is to see young people at Mladifest embracing the Church! How they love priests and how priests feel loved and accepted!"," says Fr. Marinko, explaining that "Mladifest - a meeting of people in simplicity and openness of hearts". "Such joy and delight and love and sweetness and peace! And some indescribable happiness! So many from all over the world, and no stranger! So unknown, and we all like it! No one in the spotlight, and anyone with a feeling of being accepted and loved! Hot, but nobody minds! Catecheses, testimonies, sermons, and no one is bored! The program lasst a long time, but it is not long, but on the contrary we would still remain in song and joy!'',' concluded Fr. Marinko Šakota. The first days of hot August have long been reserved for many from all over the world for Medjugorje and Mladifest. See ya!
Cardinal Sarah, impressive, he may be a bit too old now, but if there is someone qualified, I'd think the next Pope needs to come from Africa, because it is growing fast and persecuted. Of course, whatever the will of God may be, Asia or anywhere actually is fine as well as long as they would be able to lead the Church. One year at Mladifest, random web photo: And their link, International youth festival Medjugorje (mladifest.com) All that said, Cardinal Sarah seems to have been relatively quiet lately, I'd like to hear what he thinks on these topics.
Sounds like you may not have visited Medjugorje. I encourage you to read any book written by Wayne Wibel.
I agree! Wayne Weible’s book is where I first came to know about Medjugorje. It brought me so much closer to Our Lady.
Messages is the book my Dad started with. Since then, he can't read enough on Medjugorje. He loves it!!
"My Heart Will Triumph" is absolutely the best, I think. From Mirjana herself. https://www.amazon.com/Heart-Will-T...h&qid=1627139830&sprefix=my+heart+will&sr=8-1
I would also add that after reading Wayne Weible’s book, I had a great desire to visit Medjugorje. It took me 10+ years before I was finally able to go. I have never experienced that kind of peace anywhere.
I first went to Medjugorje in 1999. It was an amazing week - a little bit of heaven on earth. I intend returning to Medjugorje next year. To anybody who is sceptical, I say visit the place! One of the visionaries, Mirjana Soldo, published her book ‘My Heart will Triumph’. I’m now reading it for a second time, this time with the intention of applying Our Lady’s messages to my own life.
I agree with Pope Francis, I'm definitely skeptical of this unapproved apparition, just personal opinion. https://www.ncregister.com/news/pope-francis-is-suspicious-of-ongoing-medjugorje-apparitions Pope Francis Is ‘Suspicious’ of Ongoing Medjugorje Apparitions “I personally am more suspicious, I prefer the Madonna as Mother, our Mother, and not a woman who’s the head of an office, who every day sends a message at a certain hour. This is not the Mother of Jesus. And these presumed apparitions don’t have a lot of value.”
Just in case you were not aware, Pope Francis appointed an papal envoy to Medjugorje https://www.archsa.org/blog/vatican-appoints-pastoral-envoy-to-medjugorje and two years after the 'suspicious' news report, Pope Francis authorized that pilgrimages could take place. https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2019-05/pope-authorizes-pilgrimages-to-medjugorje.html
