“Praised be Jesus!” Jakov: What do you expect of our Franciscans? “Have them persevere in the faith and protect the faith of others.” Jakov and Mirjana: Leave us a sign because the people treat us as liars. “My angels, do not be afraid of injustice. It has always existed.” The visionaries: How must we pray? “Continue to recite 7 Our Father’s and 7 Hail Mary’s and Glory Be’s, but also add the Creed. Goodbye, my angels. Go in the peace of God.” To Ivan, aside from the others: “Be in peace and take courage.” (Ivan said: What a beautiful smile when she left me.) (June 27,  1981 – Saturday)

In the presence of a crowd of 2,000 to 3,000 people, drawn there by the luminary signs coming from the hill of the apparitions, Vicka sprinkles the apparition with Holy Water and says: If you are the Gospa, stay with us, if not, go away. The apparition only smiles. Ivanka: Why have you come here? What do you desire? “I have come because there are many true believers here. I wish to be with you to convert and to reconcile the whole world.” Ivanka: Did my mother say anything? “Obey your grandmother and help her because she is old.” Mirjana: How is my grandfather? (He had recently died.) “He is well.” The visionaries, on a request from the crowd: Give us a sign which will prove your presence. “Blessed are those who have not seen and who believe.” Mirjana: Who are you? “I am the Most Blessed Virgin Mary.“ Why are you appearing to us? We are not better than others. “I do not necessarily choose the best.” Will you come back? “Yes, to the same place as yesterday.” On returning to the village after the apparition, Marija sees the Virgin again, in tears, near a cross with rainbow colors: “Peace, Peace, Peace! Be reconciled! Only Peace. Make your peace with God and among yourselves. For that, it is necessary to believe, to pray, to fast, and to go to confession.” (June 26, 1981 – Friday)

The date of the first apparition for the group of six visionaries, who see Our Lady nearby on the hill: Our Lady says: “Praised be Jesus!” Ivanka: Where is my mother? (Her mother had died two months previously.) “She is happy. She is with me.” The visionaries: Will you return tomorrow? The apparition answers with a nod of her head. Mirjana: No one will believe us. They will say that we are crazy. Give us a sign! The apparition responds only with a smile. Mirjana believed she had received a sign. Her watch had changed time during the apparition. “Goodbye, my angels. Go in the peace of God.” (June 25, 1981 – Thursday)

The visionaries see a distant apparition of a young woman in a long grey dress holding a baby in her arms on the hill of Crnica (now known as Apparition Hill). The first time was in the afternoon, the second time towards 6:00pm. (June 24, 1981 – Wednesday)
