June 23, 1982 – Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje
Just before the anniversary of June 24th, Vicka answered some questions asked by Fr. Tomislav Vlasic, who reported them in the parish Chronicle in June. Our Lady said: “The most important thing is that you, the visionaries, remain united. Let peace be among you. Pay very close attention to that. Obey, and do what the priests and your parents tell you. Go often to holy Mass and receive Communion. Be very attentive these days. Some dishonest people will come to you, in numbers, in order to tempt you. Be careful of your statements. These days, I am expecting of you, a very special discipline. Do not move around anywhere, or often, and do not separate from one another.” (Some of the visionaries understood that these words were directed specifically to them, and they began to cry). “A number of those who have been very enthusiastic will cool off. But you, persist, and be proud of each of my words. Have the people pray very much. Have them pray more for salvation, and only for salvation. And let the people be converted so long as it is possible. There are many sins, vexations, curse words, lies and other bad things. Let them be converted, go to confession and receive Holy Communion. Let them not print books on the apparitions before the anniversary has passed, because that could have some undesirable consequences. You have asked me to keep in this parish good and faithful priests who will continue the work. Do not be afraid of anything. This grace will be given to you. From priests, I do not demand anything other than prayer, with perseverance, and preaching. May they be patient and wait for the promises of God.” With respect to a question from a theologian: Does the Holy Spirit have two natures? “He has only one; the Divine nature.” The visionaries: They have said that these would be the last apparitions on earth? Is it true? “These apparitions are the last in the world.” As far as I have understood, observes Fr. Tomislav Vlasic, her answer is not only given in Medjugorje, but also in other parts of the world.
