Dear children! I beseech you, especially those from this parish, to live my messages and convey them to others, to whomever you meet. Thank you for having responded to my call. (August 16, 1984)
This apparition was unexpected. Ivan was praying at home. After that he started to get ready to go to Church for the evening services. By surprise Our Lady appeared to him and told him to relate to the people. “I would like the people to pray along with me these days. And to pray as much as possible! And to fast strictly on Wednesdays and Fridays, and every day to pray at least one Rosary: the joyful, sorrowful and glorious mysteries.” Our Lady asked that we accept this message with a firm will. She especially requested this of the parishioners and the faithful of the surrounding places. (August 14, 1984 – Tuesday)
Dear children! Pray, because Satan wishes to complicate my plans still further. Pray with the heart and surrender yourselves to Jesus in prayer. (August 11, 1984 – Saturday)
No message was given by Our Lady (August 9, 1984)
The celebration of the second millennium of Mary’s birthday was preceded by three days of fasting and continuous prayer. Seventy priests heard confessions without rest; there were a great number of conversions. “Never in my life have I cried with sorrow, as I have cried this evening with joy. Thank you!” In anticipation of this day Our Lady had said: “The priest who will hear confession will have great joy on that day.” During these 3 days of fasting and continuous prayer the visionaries say the Blessed Virgin was: Very Joyful. Our Lady repeated: “I am very happy, continue, continue. Continue to pray and to fast.” Her joy seemed to have reached a peak Sunday, August 5th. Like a flower when it blooms, and full of joy, Our Lady said: “Continue, continue, open your hearts, ask God and I will ask for you.” (August 5, 1984)
Dear children! Today I am joyful and I thank you for your prayers. Pray still more these days for the conversion of sinners. Thank you for having responded to my call. (August 2, 1984)
Dear children! Today also I wish to call you to persistent prayer and penance. Especially, let the young people of this parish be more active in their prayers. Thank you for having responded to my call. (July 26, 1984)
Late in the evening, on the hill of the apparitions: “Open your hearts to me, come close. Say in a loud voice your intentions, and your prayers.” The Blessed Virgin paid close attention to the prayers of the visionaries. When they prayed for the Bishop of Mostar, her eyes were filled with tears. While crying, she tells them: “You are my little flowers. Continue to pray, my task is lighter because of it.” Our Lady disappeared into Heaven, still crying, after having blessed everyone with a crucifix. (July 20, 1984)
Dear children! These days you have been experiencing how Satan is working. I am always with you, and don’t you be afraid of temptations because God is always watching over us. Also I have given myself to you and I sympathize with you even in the smallest temptation. Thank you for having responded to my call. (July 19, 1984)
