September 8, 1981 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje
Ivan’s diary: “I ask you only to pray with fervor. Prayer must become a part of your daily life, to permit the true faith to take roots.” Jakov wishes the Blessed Virgin a happy birthday. She answers: “It is for me 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.” (Tuesday, September 8, 1981)
