Miriana says we need to prepare for the first secret
Dear Father Livio,
Thank you very much for making us aware of the importance of the first secret and the need to talk about it and prepare for the event
Would you kindly report the website you are referring to in order to verify exactly the words that Mirjana said to Fr. Petar?
I believe that if Our Lady allowed Mirjana to reveal something of the first secret to us, it means that it is important and we know how precious the Gospa’s words are.

Dear Annalisa,
I too am convinced that preparation for the first secret is fundamental and that is why we know some details that shock and make us reflect. I report here the website and Mirjana’s words, in the hope that they do not fall into the oblivion of dead souls again.
“On October 26, 1985 Mirjana gave the clearest interview about the beginning of the 10 secrets. The day before, the Virgin Mary had shown her the visible consequences of the first secret.
The 1985 interview is a very important document, because the vision was fresh and clear in Mirjana’s memory, and because the interviewer was Fr. Petar Ljubicic, at that time already chosen as a priest to reveal the secrets to the world.
Mirjana said, the first secret “will not be a pleasant thing.” It will be “something people will hear about for a long time.”
“The first secret will be widely talked about”
and therefore it will not need many explanations to precede it.
The people of Medjugorje “will immediately know that it is connected with the secrets.”
It will be something, Mirjana told Fr. Petar Ljubicic, “that everyone, everywhere, will immediately hear about.”
But this does not mean that people will rush to the place where the first secret has just occurred, Mirjana also predicted:
”Certainly no one wants to see disaster, heartache, and bad luck. I don’t think this kind of thing appeals to people at all. Why would people go to see things like that? It’s one thing to go and see a sign, it’s another to go and see suffering or a disaster. Who would want, for example, to go to Italy to see a dam collapse?“.
The First Secret will make people stop and think
During the apparition of October 25, 1985 Mirjana saw the first secret as if they were images projected on slides:
“It shook me more than anything. This was, of course, due to seeing the first secret. If people saw the first secret, as was demonstrated to me yesterday, everyone would certainly be shocked enough to look at themselves and everything around them in a completely new way. Now I know things that are not particularly pleasant. I believe that if everyone knew the same things, each of these people would be shocked and would look at our world in a completely different light,” Mirjana told Fr. Petar Ljubicic the day after the vision.
“It will last for a while. It will be visible, it is necessary to shake the world a little. It will make the world stop and think.”
During a 1985 interview P. Petar Ljubicic also asked Mirjana if anyone would say that the event of the first secret was simply a natural phenomenon. In responding Mirjana also spoke about her second secret:
“Perhaps some convinced non-believers might say something similar after the first and second,” Mirjana replied.
Despite her descriptions, the first two secrets will not be catastrophes in the literal sense, the visionary also revealed:
“It won’t be anything as huge as what comes next. These first two secrets are not that serious and hard. What I mean is, yes, they are serious, but not as bad as the rest. (…) What follows are the secrets that are truly unpleasant. I would be happy if everyone finally understood this. I can’t tell them much more, but once they start to be fulfilled, then it will be too late.”
Mirjana: Convert, Pray, Fast
In 1985 as today, Mirjana urged people to prepare for the onset of the secrets.
The permanent sign of the third secret will be left on the hill of apparitions, the Podbrdo, where there is the statue of the Madonna.
Mirjana said to Fr. Petar Ljubicic:
“The Holy Virgin told me that it is necessary to pray a lot until the first secret is revealed. But beyond this, it is necessary to make sacrifices as much as possible, to help others as much as is within our ability, and to fast, especially now before the first secret. You said that we are obliged to prepare.”
“She not only asks but implores everyone to convert, to pray, to fast. [Those who do not believe] They have no idea what awaits them, and that is why, as their Mother, she is in deep anguish for them,” Mirjana said, referring to people who do not believe, and thus live their lives without God.”
