A response to questions asked regarding Hell: “Today many persons go to Hell. God permits his children to suffer in Hell due to the fact that they have committed grave unpardonable sins. Those who are in Hell, no longer have a chance to know a better lot.” Response to questions regarding cures: “For the cure of the sick, it is important to say the following prayers: the Creed, 7 Our Father’s, Hail Mary’s and Glory Be’s, and to fast on bread and water. It is good to impose one’s hands on the sick and to pray. It is good to anoint the sick with holy oil. All priests do not have the gift of healing. In order to revive this gift, the priest must pray with perseverance and believe firmly.” (Sunday, July 25, 1982)

Answer to some questions which were asked: “We go to Heaven in full conscience: that which we have now. At the moment of death, we are conscious of the separation of the body and the soul. It is false to teach people that we are re-born many times and that we pass to different bodies. One is born only once. The body, drawn from the earth, decomposes after death. It never comes back to life again. Man receives a transfigured body. Whoever has done very much evil during his life can go straight to Heaven if he confesses, is sorry for what he has done, and received Communion at the end of his life.” (Saturday, July 24, 1982)

To the response conveyed by Fr. Tomislav Vlasic on Purgatory: “There are many souls in Purgatory. There are also persons who have been consecrated to God: some priests, some religious. Pray for their intentions, at least 7 Our Father’s, Hail Mary’s and Glory Be’s and the Creed. I recommend it to you. There is a large number of souls who have been in Purgatory for a long time because no one prays for them.” A response to a question on fasting: “The best fast is on bread and water. Through fasting and prayer, one can stop wars, one can suspend the laws of nature. Charity cannot replace fasting. Those who are not able to fast can sometime replace it with prayer, charity and a confession; but everyone, except the sick, must fast.” (Wednesday, July 21, 1982)

Will there be a third world war? “The third world war will not take place.” (Monday, July 12, 1982)

Before the evening Mass, during the apparition, the Virgin told the priests, through the intermediary of the visionaries: “Thank the people in my name for the prayers, the sacrifices and the penance. Have them persevere in prayer, fasting and conversion, and have them wait with patience the realization of my promise. Everything is unfolding according to God’s plan.” (Thursday, June 24)

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.

Question asked at the request of the pastor at Lzbicno, alleged place of other apparitions: Why are there so many signs in Hercegovina? “It is God who gives them. My children, have you not observed that faith began to extinguish itself? There are many who do not come to church except through habit. It is necessary to awaken the faith. It is a gift from God.” People are surprised that you are appearing in so many places: “If it is necessary, I will appear in each home.” With respect to the little visionaries from Lzbicno, which is located 36 miles from Medjugorje: In 1982-83, 18 persons, mostly females, said they received apparitions. The visionaries from Medjugorje were said to have received kind words from those in Lzbicno, but the Blessed Virgin reminded them strongly, that they must not have any contact with these persons, nor invite them to Medjugorje. “Did I not tell you not to come together with those children? I am your mother, you must obey me.” For Jakov, who was crying to see Vicka ill: “The cross is necessary because of the sins of the world.” (Spring, 1982)

After the attempt on the life of John Paul II: “His enemies have wanted to kill him, but I protected him.” (Thursday, May 13, 1982)

May we write on a piece of paper the date of the great sign, describe it, seal it, and put it in the archives? (as requested by the commission). “No! I have entrusted that only to you. You will unveil it when I will tell you. Many persons will not believe you, I know, and you will suffer very much for it. But you will endure everything, and you will finally be the happiest.” (Thursday, May 6, 1982)

“I have come to call the world to conversion for the last time. Later, I will not appear any more on this earth.” (Sunday, May 2, 1982)
