Medjugorje Visionary Mirjana Interview March 10 2020

  • Not Synced
    [Music]
  • Not Synced
    Here, the faith was not free.
  • Not Synced
    We were allowed to go
    to Holy Mass on Sundays.
  • Not Synced
    And, that was it.
    That was what we could do.
  • Not Synced
    The rest of religious life
    was taking place at home.
  • Not Synced
    Our parents taught us to pray.
  • Not Synced
    We prayed Holy Rosary
    every evening together.
  • Not Synced
    But, they did not talk about
    the faith, much.
  • Not Synced
    Because, they were afraid.
  • Not Synced
    As kids, we cannot speak about it
    in school.
  • Not Synced
    If so, they could have problems.
  • Not Synced
    That is why I had never heard about
    Lourdes, or Fatima.
  • Not Synced
    I didn't know that Our Lady
    could come here to earth
  • Not Synced
    in such a way.
  • Not Synced
    I thought she is up in Heaven,
    and we pray.
  • Not Synced
    When Ivanka told me
    that she thought
  • Not Synced
    Our Lady is up on the hill,
  • Not Synced
    I was kind of rude.
    I had a rude response.
  • Not Synced
    I told her, "Right. She hasn't got
    better things to do?"
  • Not Synced
    "And she came to the two of us?"
  • Not Synced
    And I left her there, and I wanted
    to return to the village.
  • Not Synced
    But, when I got to the first houses,
  • Not Synced
    I felt this call within me.
  • Not Synced
    I had to return back.
    When I got there,
  • Not Synced
    I saw Ivanka standing
    at the very same spot.
  • Not Synced
    She told me, "Look now, please."
  • Not Synced
    I saw a woman
    in a long, greyish gown,
  • Not Synced
    who was holding a baby
    in her arms.
  • Not Synced
    Everything was really strange.
  • Not Synced
    Because, no one went to the hill.
  • Not Synced
    Especially not a person
    in a long gown
  • Not Synced
    with a baby in their arms.
  • Not Synced
    At that very moment,
    I felt all possible emotions
  • Not Synced
    that we are able to feel.
  • Not Synced
    Pride. Beauty. Incomprehension.
  • Not Synced
    Fear.
  • Not Synced
    And, what was the most
    intense emotion
  • Not Synced
    was the need to flee this place.
  • Not Synced
    I ran back home.
  • Not Synced
    When I got home,
    I found my grandmother
  • Not Synced
    and I told her, right away:
  • Not Synced
    "Granny, I think I saw Our Lady
    up on the hill."
  • Not Synced
    She told me "Take the Holy Rosary.
    Go to your room, and pray."
  • Not Synced
    "Leave Our Lady where she is."
  • Not Synced
    I didn't have the strength
    to explain everything to Granny.
  • Not Synced
    I just wanted to be alone, in prayer.
  • Not Synced
    That was the only way I had peace.
  • Not Synced
    The following day,
    I was helping my uncles,
  • Not Synced
    like every day before that.
  • Not Synced
    But, when the time came
    that I saw Our Lady the day before,
  • Not Synced
    I felt this calling, again.
  • Not Synced
    I told my uncle that I had to go
    to the hill
  • Not Synced
    because something has been
    calling me.
  • Not Synced
    When we got there,
  • Not Synced
    nearly half the village
    was there, already.
  • Not Synced
    Someone came with
    every visionary.
  • Not Synced
    We saw Our Lady
    at the very same place.
  • Not Synced
    This time, she was not
    carrying a baby in her arms.
  • Not Synced
    On that day, 25 June 1981,
  • Not Synced
    was the first day we got to hear her.
  • Not Synced
    She introduced herself.
  • Not Synced
    She told us, "My dear children.
    Do not be afraid.
  • Not Synced
    I am the Queen of Peace."
  • Not Synced
    That is how our daily
    apparitions started.
  • Not Synced
    For a short while, we had the apparitions
    at the hill.
  • Not Synced
    As I said earlier,
    it was a time of communism.
  • Not Synced
    Shortly afterward,
    police came, with dogs.
  • Not Synced
    They surrounded the hill.
  • Not Synced
    Everyone there, eventually
    ended up in prison.
  • Not Synced
    In those first days,
    Our Lady showed some miracles.
  • Not Synced
    Nearly everyone from the village
    saw something.
  • Not Synced
    For example, there were two
    miraculous healings, right away.
  • Not Synced
    Then, the cross on Cross Mountain
    was disappearing, with
  • Not Synced
    Our Lady appearing
    on that spot, instead,
  • Not Synced
    dressed in white.
  • Not Synced
    The local people saw this.
  • Not Synced
    I will give you an example
    what the situation was like.
  • Not Synced
    We, who had been
    brought up in communism,
  • Not Synced
    had learned how to be silent.
  • Not Synced
    The fewer words you say,
    the better for you.
  • Not Synced
    So, when the cross was disappearing
    at Cross Mountain,
  • Not Synced
    everyone was silent.
    They just looked at it.
  • Not Synced
    One young man was 25 at that time.
  • Not Synced
    He was unable to remain silent,
    because of the emotions he felt.
  • Not Synced
    He said, "Look! There is no cross!
    Our Lady is there, instead!"
  • Not Synced
    He was sentenced to prison
    for six months.
  • Not Synced
    That was the situation
    at that time.
  • Not Synced
    The word "Mir" was written
    in the sky.
  • Not Synced
    "Mir" means "Peace."
  • Not Synced
    At that time, Father Jozo
    was our parish priest.
  • Not Synced
    When the police came to him,
    to tell him to close the church,
  • Not Synced
    because Holy Mass was
    now forbidden,
  • Not Synced
    Father Jozo said,
    "I saw with my own eyes,
  • Not Synced
    that the word Mir
    is written on the sky.
  • Not Synced
    I cannot close the church.
  • Not Synced
    Do with me as you will."
  • Not Synced
    He ended up in prison.
  • Not Synced
    But the local people
    had seen all of that.
  • Not Synced
    Knowing us as children,
  • Not Synced
    they trusted us,
    and they helped us.
  • Not Synced
    We had an apparition
    every evening at a different spot.
  • Not Synced
    I had daily apparitions like that,
    until Christmas, 1982.
  • Not Synced
    That is when Our Lady
    entrusted me with the 10th Secret.
  • Not Synced
    She told me I would no longer
    have daily apparitions.
  • Not Synced
    She told me it would be
    once a year.
  • Not Synced
    Every 18th of March,
    as long as I live.
  • Not Synced
    She also said I would have
    extraordinary apparitions.
  • Not Synced
    Those apparitions started
    on 2nd August, 1987.
  • Not Synced
    Those are ongoing
    until this day.
  • Not Synced
    I don't know how long
    I will have them.
  • Not Synced
    Those apparitions are also
    a prayer for unbelievers.
  • Not Synced
    Our Lady never calls them that.
  • Not Synced
    Because if you say about someone,
    "You're an unbeliever,"
  • Not Synced
    you judged and condemned him.
  • Not Synced
    Our Lady never does that.
  • Not Synced
    She says "the ones that have
    not yet discovered the love of God."
  • Not Synced
    She is asking our help.
  • Not Synced
    When she says, "our help,"
  • Not Synced
    she does not mean the six of us,
    the six visionaries.
  • Not Synced
    She means the help of everyone
    who feels she is their mother.
  • Not Synced
    She says we can change unbelievers,
  • Not Synced
    with our prayers, and by our example.
  • Not Synced
    She asks that we put prayers for them
    as a priority in our daily prayers.
  • Not Synced
    Most of the ugly things which happen
    in this world,
  • Not Synced
    comes from them.
  • Not Synced
    That is why Our Lady says,
  • Not Synced
    "When you pray for them,
    you pray for yourself, and your future."
  • Not Synced
    In addition to prayers, she asks
    for our example.
  • Not Synced
    She doesn't want us to preach.
  • Not Synced
    She asks us to speak with our own lives,
  • Not Synced
    so unbelievers can witness in us,
    God, and the love of God.
  • Not Synced
    I kindly request you consider this
    In the most serious way.
  • Not Synced
    If you could see the tears of Our Lady
    just once,
  • Not Synced
    the tears she cries for unbelievers,
  • Not Synced
    I am sure you would pray
    with all your heart.
  • Not Synced
    She says this is the time
    of great decision.
  • Not Synced
    She says it is up to us,
    who say we are children of God,
  • Not Synced
    that there is a great
    responsibility upon us.
  • Not Synced
    When she asks prayers
    for unbelievers,
  • Not Synced
    she would like us to try that
    in her way.
  • Not Synced
    That would be,
    the way I understood it:
  • Not Synced
    First, feel love for them.
  • Not Synced
    Feel they are our
    brothers and sisters
  • Not Synced
    who were not as lucky
    as we were,
  • Not Synced
    to feel the love of God.
  • Not Synced
    When we feel that way,
    we will be able to pray for them.
  • Not Synced
    Never judge, never condemn,
    never criticize.
  • Not Synced
    Simply love them.
  • Not Synced
    Pray for them.
  • Not Synced
    And, give your own example.
  • Not Synced
    Our example tells a lot.
  • Not Synced
    We all have unbelievers,
  • Not Synced
    in our house, somewhere nearby,
    at our workplace,
  • Not Synced
    and that unbeliever looks at us,
    and at our life.
  • Not Synced
    We must ask ourselves whether
    the love of God,
  • Not Synced
    is what they see in us.
  • Not Synced
    I will give you a nice example.
  • Not Synced
    One evening, when I went
    to Holy Mass in Medjugorje,
  • Not Synced
    our church was crowded.
  • Not Synced
    I am unable to stand up very long.
  • Not Synced
    I saw a small space on one of the pews.
  • Not Synced
    I sat down.
