Vicka’s diary – 30th apparition, 6:30pm Today, also, we went to the place of the apparitions about 6:20pm, and while praying and singing, we waited for the Blessed Virgin. At exactly 6:30pm we saw the light which slowly approached. Then we saw the Blessed Virgin and heard her customary greeting. To our questions, relative to the majority of the sick, the Gospa answered quickly: “Without faith, nothing is possible. All those who will believe firmly will be cured.” (July 24, 1981 – Friday)
Vicka’s diary – 29th apparition, 6:30pm Vicka only mentions the greeting from Our Lady: “Praised be Jesus Christ…” (Thursday, July 23, 1981)
Vicka’s diary – 28th apparition, 6:30pm On arriving she said: “Praise be Jesus Christ.” All of us questioned her on the subject of some sick people who had been recommended to us. Then we prayed with the Blessed Virgin. She only said the Our Father and Glory Be, and during the time that we said the Hail Mary, she was silent. The Gospa told us that: “A good many people have been converted and among them some had not gone to Confession in 45 years, and now, they are going to Confession. Go in the peace of God.” As Our Lady was departing, a cross appeared in the sky. (July 22, 1981 – Wednesday)
Vicka’s diary – 27th apparition, 6:30pm Just like every day, we spoke with the Gospa. She arrived at 6:30pm, and greeted us: “Praised be Jesus!” Then we asked her if she would give us a sign. She said yes. Then we asked her how much longer she would still continue to visit us. The Blessed Virgin responded: “My sweet angels, even if I were to leave the sign, many people will not believe. Many people will only come here and bow down. But people must be converted and do penance.” Then we questioned her on the subject of the sick. For some, the Gospa said that they would be cured only if their faith was strong, and for others, no. Then she prepared to depart. Upon leaving, she said to us: “Go in the peace of God.” (July 21, 1981 – Tuesday)
The visionaries believe the apparitions had ended, but Our Lady appeared to each one of them separately, where he or she was. No message was preserved. (July 4, 1981 – Saturday)
Jakov: Dear Gospa, leave us a sign. The Virgin seemed to consent with a nod: “Goodbye, my dear angels.” (July 2, 1981 – Thursday)
During this period, Our Lady appeared to the visionaries in hidden places, away from the police patrols that were trying to track them down. Apparition at Cerno. Mirjana: Are you angry that we were not on the hill? “That doesn’t matter.” Would you be angry if we would not return any longer to the hill, but we would wait in the church? “Always at the same time. Go in the peace of God.” On that day, Mirjana thought that she understood that the Gospa would return for three more days, until Friday. But it was only her interpretation. (June 30, 1981)
The visionaries: Dear Gospa, are you happy to see so many people here today? “More than happy.” (She smiles, writes Vicka). How long will you stay with us? “As long as you will want me to, my angels.” What do you expect of the people who have come in spite of the brambles and the heat? “There is only one God, one faith. Let the people believe firmly and do not fear anything.” What do you expect of us? “That you have a solid faith and that you maintain confidence.” Will we know how to endure persecutions, which will come to us because of you? “You will be able to, my angels. Do not fear. You will be able to endure everything. You must believe and have confidence in me.” Here Vicka writes a question from Dr. Darinka Glamuzina: May I touch Our Lady? She gives this response: “There have always been Doubting Thomas’s, but she can approach.” Vicka shows her where to stretch out her hand. Darinka tries to touch her. Our Lady disappears, and then reappears in her light. The parents of a three-year-old child, Daniel Setka, who had suffered from septicemia since the fourth day of his birth, asked the visionaries to intercede for the handicapped child. Dear Gospa, is little Daniel going to speak some day? Cure him so that they all will believe us. These people love you very much, dear Gospa. Perform a miracle. Dear Gospa, say something. They repeated this petition and conveyed the response: “Have them believe strongly in his cure. Go in the peace of God.” (June 29, 1981 – Monday)
The visionaries: What do you wish? “That people believe and persevere in the faith.” Vicka: What do you expect from the priests? “That they remain strong in the faith and that they help you.” Why don’t you appear to everyone in church? “Blessed are they who believe without having seen.” Will you come back? “Yes, to the same place.” Do you prefer prayer or singing? “Both, praying and singing.” Vicka: What do you wish from the crowd which has gathered here? The visionaries said this question received no response except for a glance filled with love, and Our Lady’s smile. Then Our Lady disappeared. The visionaries prayed so that she might return because she had not said: Goodbye, my angels. During their song, You Are All Beautiful, she reappears. Vicka: Dear Gospa, what do you expect of this people? She repeated the question three times and finally was given this answer: “That those who do not see believe as those who see.” Vicka: Will you leave us a sign so that people believe that we are not liars or comedians? No other response, only a smile. “Go in the peace of God”, She said, as she disappeared. (June 28, 1981 – Sunday)
